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. If
this project is to be completed in phases and partially certified, you shall retain the responsibility to
track further construction approved under the same permit, and shall provide a final certificate of
completion once the entire project has been completed. Mail the Certification to the Non -Discharge
Permitting Unit, Division of Water Quality, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617.

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.

The 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.
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.
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.
6. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is prohibited.
7. The following buffers shall be maintained:
a) 100 feet between wetted area and any residence or places of public assembly under separate
ownership,
b) 50 feet between wetted area and property lines,
c) 100 feet between wetted area and wells,
d) 50 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.
8. A leakage test shall be performed on 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.
The disposal system shall be connected to a rain or moisture sensor that shall indicate when
wastewater application is not appropriate in accordance with Condition H(4) of this permit.
10_ A usable green area shall be maintained for wastewater disposal. The green area shall have the
capability of accommodating the average daily flow of the facility being served without exceeding the
loading rates of the green area. A "green area", as defined in 15A NCAC 2H .0404 (g)(7), is an area
suitable for waste disposal, either in its natural state or which has been modified by planting a
vegetative cover of grasses or low growing shrubbery.
II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE RE UIREMENTS

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 pen -nit and shall comply
