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
John Shaffer

1996, and in conformity with the project plan, specifications, and other supporting data subsequently filed
and approved by the Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources and considered a part of
this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until June 30, 2001 and shall be subject to
the following specified conditions and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of this permitted facility, a
certification must be received from a professional engineer certifying that the permitted
facility has been installed in accordance with this permit, the approved plans and
specifications, and other supporting materials. Mail the Certification to the Water Quality
Permits and Engineering Unit, P.O. Box 29535, Raleigh, NC 27626-0535.
2. The Winston-Salem Regional Office, telephone number 910-771-4600, shall be notified at
least forty-eight (48) hours in advance of operation of the installed facilities so that an in -
place inspection can be made. 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.
3. The spray 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, such as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment and
disposal facilities.

4. 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.
5. The sand media of the subsurface sand filter must comply with the Division's sand
specifications. The engineer's certification will serve as evidence that these specifications
have been met.
6. A leakage test shall be performed on the septic tank and dosing tank to insure that any
exfiltration occurs at a rate which does not exceed twenty (20) gallons per twenty-four (24)
hours per 1,000 gallons of tank capacity. The engineer's certification will serve as proof of
compliance with this condition.
7. If excavation into bedrock is required for the installation of the septic tank or sand filter, the
pit shall be lined with a 10 mil synthetic liner.
8. A sanitary tee shall be installed on the effluent pipe of the septic tank. The engineer's
certification will serve as evidence that these specifications have been met.
9. 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 North Carolina Division of
Water Quality.
10. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is
prohibited.
11. 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 drainageways 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.
II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. Upon classification of the facility by the Certification Commission, the Permittee shall
employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator to be in responsible charge (ORC) of
the wastewater treatment facilities. The operator must hold a certificate of the type and
grade at least equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the wastewater
treatment facilities by the Certification Commission. The Permittee must also employ a
certified back-up operator of the appropriate type and grade to comply with the conditions
of Title 15A, Chapter 8A, .0202. The ORC of the facility must visit each Class I facility at
least weekly and each Class II, III, and IV facility at least daily, excluding weekends and
holidays, and must properly manage and document daily operation and maintenance of the
facility and must comply with all other conditions of Title 15A, Chapter SA, .0202. Once
the facility is classified, the Permittee must submit a letter to the Certification Commission
which designates the operator in responsible charge within thirty days after the wastewater
treatment facilities are 50% complete.
3. A suitable vegetative cover shall be maintained.
4. Irrigation shall not be performed during inclement weather or when the ground is in a
condition that will cause runoff.
2

5. Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent wastewater runoff from the spray field.
6. The application rate shall not exceed a cumulative loading of 15.6 inches over any twelve
(12) month period at an instantaneous application rate not to exceed 0.09 inches per hour.
7. 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.
8. No type of wastewater other than that from the John Shaffer Residence shall be sprayed
onto the irrigation area.
9. In the event that the sprinkler heads fail to achieve the design diameter of 65 feet due to
obstructions, the obstructions shall be removed or the sprinkler heads shall be raised and
supported to such height that the design diameter is achieved.
10. No traffic or equipment shall be allowed on the disposal area except while installation
occurs or while normal maintenance is being performed.
11. The spray irrigation field shall be fenced with at least a two strand wire fence.
12. The Permittee is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the entire treatment and
disposal system including, but not limited to, the following items:
a. The septic tank shall be checked annually and pumped out as needed.
b_ The tablet chlorinator shall be checked every week. Tablets shall be added so as to
provide proper chlorination.
c. The storage, pump, and alarm systems shall be inspected weekly. The scum layer shall
be removed at the same interval as the septic tank is cleaned out.
d . The spray system shall be inspected weekly to make certain of the sprayers proper
operation, that the vegetative growth allows a proper spray pattern, that the soil is
assimilating the disposed treated wastewater with no surface runoff, and that no
objectionable odors are being generated.
III. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

ground water protection will be established and an acceptable sampling reporting schedule
shall be followed.

a. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that renders the facility
incapable of adequate wastewater treatment, such as mechanical or electrical failures of
pumps, spray heads, etc.; or
3

b. Any failure of a pumping station or treatment facility resulting in a by-pass directly to
receiving waters without treatment of all or any portion of the influent to such station or
facility.
Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in letter

G, __.
I agree to operate and maintain the wastewater treatment system as follows:
1. The Permittee is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the entire treatment:,ancF-' '•-,:
disposal system including, but not limited to, the following items:

and thence on a monthly basis. Tablets shall be added so as to provide proper chlorination.
c. The storage system, pump system, and alarm system shall be inspected monthly. The
scum layer shall be removed at the same interval as the septic tank is cleaned out.
d. The spray system shall be inspected monthly to make certain of the sprayers proper
operation, that the vegetative growth allows proper spray patterns, that the soil is absorbing
the disposed treated wastewater with no surface runoff, and that no objectionable odors are
being generated.
2. Failure of the Permittee to properly operate this system is subject to a penalty up to $101000 per
