In accordance with the provisions of Article 21 of Chapter 143, General Statutes of North Carolina as
amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO

Wake County
FOR THE
continued operation of a 480 gallon per day (GPD) surface irrigation wastewater treatment and disposal
system consisting of a 1,000 gallon baffled septic tank, two 144 square foot surface sand filters, a tablet
chlorinator, a 3,000 gallon storage/pump tank, a 13,960 square foot spray irrigation area, and all
associated piping and appurtenances, to serve the Eatman residence with no discharge of wastes to the
surface waters, pursuant to the application received April 27, 2005, 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 May 31, 2010, shall void Permit No.
WQ0011859 issued November 10, 2000 and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and
limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The surface irrigation facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times so that
there is no discharge to 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, such as the
construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment and disposal facilities.
2. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages to
surface or ground waters resulting from the operation of this facility.
3. The residuals generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed in accordance with
General Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the Division.
4. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is prohibited.
5. 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,
e. 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 surface 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.

any structure.
