Dear Mr. Quinn:
Michael F. Easley, Governor
William G. Ross Jr., Secretary
North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
Coleen H. Sullins Director
Division of Water Quality
Subject: Permit No. WQ0028785
Queen's Grant — Phase H
High -Rate Infiltration
Pender County
In accordance with your modification request received January 9, 2008, and subsequent
additional information received January 28, 2008, we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0028785,
dated February 18, 2008, to R & Q, Incorporated for the construction and continued operation of the
subject wastewater treatment and high -rate infiltration facilities. This permit modification is to replace
the previously approved tablet chlorination and chlorine contact tank with an ultraviolet (UV) disinfection
system, and to upgrade the dosing pumps.
Please note the previous permit modification issued October 31, 2007 was to permit a new
wastewater treatment plant in place of the previously permitted treatment plant. The originally permitted
disposal fields remain the same, however, they have been reclassified from reclaimed utilization to high -
rate infiltration (Note: Setbacks and compliance/review boundaries remain the same as when they were
originally permitted). In addition, the new treatment plant is sized to treat 35,400 GPD of wastewater
with 20,160 GPD of that flow being disposed in this non -discharge permit, and the remaining flow being
discharge in an Onsite Wastewater permit issued by the Division of Environmental Health.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until May 31, 2010, shall void Permit No.
WQ0028785 issued October 31, 2007, 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.
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 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.

1. 3 X year monitoring shall be conducted in March, July & November; Annual monitoring shall be conducted every November.
2. The measurement of water levels shall be made prior to purging the wells. The depth to water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on the top of the casing. The measurement
of pH shall be made after purging and prior to sampling for the remaining parameters.
3. The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to provide the relative elevation of the measuring point for each monitoring well. The
of casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed relative to a common datum.
4. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) - In November only, analyze by one of the following methods:
a. Standard Method 6230D, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
b. Standard Method 621OD, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
c. EPA Method 8021, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
d. EPA Method 8260, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
e. Another method with prior approval by the Aquifer Protection Section Chief
Any method used must meet the following qualifications:
a. A laboratory must be DWQ certified to run any method used.
b. The method used must, at a minimum, include all the constituents listed in Table VIII of Standard Method 6230D.
c. The method used must provide a PQL of 0.5 µg/L or less that must be supported by laboratory proficiency studies as required by the DWQ Laboratory Certification
detected above the MDL but below the PQL of 0.5 µg/L must be qualified (estimated) and reported.
5. If any volatile organic compounds (VOC) are detected as a result of monitoring as provided in Attachment C, then the Wilmington Regional Office Aquifer Protection
number [phone], must be contacted immediately for further instructions regarding any additional follow-up analyses required.
6. If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/I are detected in any downgradient monitoring well, additional sampling and analysis must be conducted to identify the ind
comprising this TOC concentration. If the TOC concentration as measured in, the background monitor well exceeds 10 mg/l, this concentration will be taken to represent the
TOC concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring TOC concentration in the downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling and analysis as desci
