1. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. 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 873,500 GPD, a formal permit modification
application shall be submitted. 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.
3. 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 Iines,
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
