to serve North Topsail Utilities, Inc., with no discharge of wastes to the surface waters, pursuant to the application
received March 21, 2003, and subsequent additional information received by the Division, and in conformity with
the project plan, specifications, and other supporting data subsequently filed and approved by the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources and considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 31, 2005, shall void Permit No.
WQ0005849 issued November 13, 2000, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and
limitations:

I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The wastewater treatment and surface irrigation facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated
at all times so that there is no discharge to the surface waters, nor any contamination of ground waters
which will render them unsatisfactory for normal use. In the event that the facilities fail to perform
satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions or failure of the irrigation area to
adequately assimilate the wastewater, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective actions including
those actions that may be required by the Division of Water Quality (Division), such as the
construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment and disposal facilities.
2. Before any expansion of permitted capacity beyond 674,133 GPD, a formal permit modification
application shall be submitted and receive approval. The permit modification package shall contain
design, construction, and operation information related to any needed wastewater stabilization and
wastewater effluent storage, the adequacy of all existing equipment and units to accommodate the
increased hydraulic flows, the ability of the wetted area of the existing spray irrigation facilities to
function at the application rates, and other information as may be required by the Division. The
submittal shall follow the instructions provided on the most recent version of the surface irrigation
application form.
The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages to surface
or groundwaters resulting from the operation of this facility.
4. The residuals generated from these treatment facilities shall be disposed in accordance with General
Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the Division.
Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is prohibited.
6. The following buffers shall be maintained:
a) 400 feet between wetted area and any residence or places of public assembly under separate
ownership,
b) 150 feet between wetted area and property lines,
c) 100 feet between wetted area and wells,
d) 100 feet between wetted area and drainage ways or surface water bodies,
e) 50 feet between wetted area and public right of ways,
f) 100 feet between treatment/storage units and any wells, and
g) 50 feet between treatment units and property lines.
Some of the buffers specified above may not have been included in previous permits for this waste
treatment and disposal system. These buffers are not intended to prohibit or prevent modifications,
which are required by the Division, to improve performance of the existing treatment facility. These
buffers do, however, apply to modifications of the treatment and disposal facilities that are for the
purpose of increasing the flow that is tributary to the facility. These buffers do apply to any
expansion or modification of the irrigation areas and apply in instances in which the sale of property
would cause any of the buffers now complied with, for the treatment and disposal facilities, to be
violated. The applicant is advised that any modifications to the existing facilities will require a permit
modification.
7. The Permittee shall locate and remove all subsurface drain tile. piping upon construction of the new
spray fields. The Wilmington Regional Office, telephone number 910-395-3900, shall be notified at
least forty-eight (48) hours prior to the construction of the spray fields so that Division staff may
conduct a construction inspection. Such notification to the regional supervisor shall be made during
the normal office hours from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday, excluding state
holidays.
2

II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. Upon classification of the wastewater treatment and irrigation facilities by the Water Pollution
Control System Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC), the Permittee shall designate and
employ a certified operator to be in responsible charge (ORC) and one or more certified operator(s) to
be back-up ORC(s) of the facilities in accordance with 15A NCAC 8G .0201. The ORC shall visit
the facilities in accordance with 15A NCAC 8G .0204 or as specified in this permit and shall comply
with all other conditions specified in these rules.
3. Irrigation shall not be performed during inclement weather or when the ground is in a condition that
will cause runoff.
4. Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent wastewater runoff from the irrigation field.
5. The facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent the
discharge of any wastewater resulting from the operation of this facility.
6. A suitable year-round vegetative cover shall be maintained on the wetted area of the spray irrigation
facilities at all times. Note that such proper maintenance shall also include cover crop harvesting and
removal. The crop management plan, developed by Mr. Ed Karnoski, that recommends coastal
bermuda grass and a fescue/rye grass mixture as a cover crop for the wetted are of the spray irrigation
facilities shall be followed. The waterways at the boundaries of the spray irrigation areas shall be
reshaped as recommended by the crop management plan, using an eight to one side slope that is at
least three feet deep. Any variation from this plan shall require the recommendation of a North
Carolina -licensed professional soil scientist and agronomist as well as the approval of the Water
Quality Section of the Division's Wilmington Regional Office.

7. The application rates onto the wetted area of the spray irrigation facilities shall not exceed the
