Surface Irrigation Facility

In accordance with your renewal request received December 10, 2003, we are forwarding
herewith Permit No. WQ0006945, dated October 22, 2004, to David Allen Seagroves for the continued
operation of the subject single family wastewater treatment and surface irrigation facilities.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009, shall void
Permit No. WQ0006945 issued March 26, 1997, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as
specified therein. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring requirements in this permit. Failure to
establish an adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required operational information will
result in future compliance problems.
During the field visit to the site, you indicated to the reviewer that the nozzles had been removed
from the sprinklers to allow the sand to be flushed from the irrigation lines and that you planned to
replace all six sprinklers since two of the sprinklers had damaged nozzles. To bring this system into
compliance, the sprinklers shall be returned to the working conditions specified in the original design.
The new sprinklers shall be of the same type and flow capacity (nozzle size) as the sprinklers originally
installed. Also vegetation needs to be removed from the radius of at least ten feet around each of the six
sprinklers.
During the field visit, it was noted that the cover on the riser of the septic tank had a cracked
corner and you stated that the cover would be replaced. You also indicated that the septic tank was
pumped regularly and that the irrigation pump and motor and the control panel had recently been
replaced. It is important that all components of the system remain in an excellent state of repair.
At least six (6) months prior to the expiration of this permit, an extension shall be requested.
Upon receipt of the request, the Commission will review the adequacy of the facility described therein,
and if warranted, will extend the permit for such period of time and under such conditions and limitations,
as it may deem appropriate.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the
right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of
this permit. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the
North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-6714. Unless such demands are made this permit shall be final and binding.
