Subject: Permit No. WQ0037287
Pluris Hampstead WWTP
High -Rate Infiltration System
Pender County
In accordance with your permit minor modification and renewal request received September 3,
2019, and additional information received December 2, 2019, we are forwarding herewith Permit No.
WQ0037287 dated January 23, 2020, to Pluris Hampstead, LLC for the continued operation of the subject
wastewater treatment and high -rate infiltration facilities.
The modifications to the subject permit are as follows: the infiltration rates for Basins #1 and #2
have been increased. The Pluris Hampstead WWTP facility was approved to run a pilot
study/hydrogeologic analysis by the Division, which was conducted for both high -rate infiltration basins
between November 1, 2018 and April 30, 2019. The study resulted in infiltration capacity of Basin #1 at
approximately 791,000 gallons per day (GPD) and Basin #2 at approximately 427,000 GPD, with both
basins at a stage height of 5 feet (maximum with 2 feet of freeboard).
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance through January 31, 2026, shall void Permit
No. WQ0037287 issued April 13, 2017, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations therein. The
Permittee shall submit a renewal application no later than August 4, 2025.
Please pay attention to the monitoring requirements listed Attachments A, B, and C for they may
differ from the previous permit issuance. Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting and
maintaining the required operational information shall result in future compliance problems.
The Division has removed the following permit conditions since the last permit issuance dated
April 13, 2017:
➢ Old Condition I.2. — This condition has been removed.
➢ Old Condition VI.2. — This condition has been removed because the permit is not voidable.

The following permit conditions and attachments are new or modified since the last permit
issuance dated April 13, 2017:
➢ Condition I.1. — This condition prohibits any unpermitted discharge from the groundwater
lowering system effluent storage pond. This condition also requires that the Permittee notify
the Division of any discharge from the groundwater lowering system effluent storage pond. In
addition, this condition notifies the Permittee that per the requirements of Session Law 2014-
95, the water in the groundwater lowering system effluent storage pond shall be considered
groundwater under this permit, and can be used as the Permittee sees fit, provided that the water
does not runoff to surface waters, discharge from the groundwater lowering system effluent
storage pond, and a one foot freeboard is maintained.
➢ Condition I.2. — This schedule requires the Permittee to evaluate the capacity of the
groundwater storage pond when requesting a permit modification to exceed permitted flow of
250,000 GPD.
➢ Condition 1.3. — This schedule requires the pond maintenance agreement to be recorded with
the Pender County Register of Deeds.
➢ Condition II.1 La. — Since the loading rate for the two high -rate infiltration basins have
increased, the setbacks for the high -rate infiltration basins have been updated to the
requirements in 15A NCAC 02T .0706 that were readopted on September 1, 2018.
➢ Condition I1I.4. — Infiltration equipment shall be tested and calibrated once per permit cycle.
➢ Condition III.13. — Metering equipment shall be tested and calibrated annually.
➢ Condition IV.8. — This condition requires that the Permittee provide to its users and the
Division of Water Resources an annual report summarizing the performance of the wastewater
treatment and high -rate infiltration facility and the extent to which the facility has violated this
permit, or federal or State laws, regulations, or rules related to the protection of water quality.
➢ Condition VI.10. — This permit shall not be renewed if the Permittee or any affiliation has not
paid the required annual fee.
➢ Attachment A — Sampling frequency has changed due to the increase in permitted flow.
➢ Attachment B — The infiltration rates have been amended per a revised hydrogeologic analysis
of the system.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, the Permittee
has the right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within 30 days following receipt of
this permit. This request shall 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 at 6714 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-6714. Otherwise, this permit shall be final and binding.

I. SCHEDULES
1. In accordance with correspondence from the United States Environmental Protection Agency, any
unpermitted discharge to surface waters of effluent collected via the engineered material is a violation
of Section 301(a) of the Federal Clean Water Act. Accordingly, any unpermitted discharge of water
from the groundwater lowering system effluent storage pond shall be prohibited, and shall require the
Permittee to report by telephone to the Wilmington Regional Office, telephone number [phone],
as soon as possible. but in no case more than 24 hours, or on the next working day following the
occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence.
However, please note that per Session Law 2014-95, effluent collected via the engineered material and
its associated piping system shall be considered groundwater under this permit, as long as that water is
not discharged from the groundwater lowering system effluent storage pond. Accordingly, the
Permittee can utilize (e.g., irrigation) water from the groundwater lowering system effluent storage
pond or discharge to the NPDES Permit No. NCO089524 to maintain the required 1-foot freeboard.
[15A NCAC 02T .0108(b)(1)(A)]
2. The Permittee shall address the groundwater lowering system effluent storage pond's ability to
accommodate the proposed flow increase if the Permittee applies for a permit modification to increase
the disposal capacity from the currently approved 250,000 GPD for each infiltration basin. The
Permittee can verify the storage pond capacity by providing freeboard records, flow records and/or
utilization records. Also, the Permittee shall verify that the approved alternative design criteria
requirements pursuant to 15A NCAC 02T .0105(n) are still being met. [15A NCAC 02T
.0108(b)(1)(A)]
3. Within 90 days of permit issuance, the Permittee shall submit to the Non -Discharge Branch a copy of
the pond maintenance agreement with Blake Farm Pond, LLC recorded with the Pender County
Register of Deeds. [ 15A NCAC 02T .0108(b)(1)(B)]

2025. [15A NCAC 02T .0105(b), 02T .0109]
H. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The Permittee shall maintain and operate the subject non -discharge facilities so there is no discharge to
surface waters, nor any contravention of groundwater or surface water standards. In the event the
facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions due to improper
operation and maintenance, or failure of the infiltration areas to assimilate the effluent, the Permittee
shall take immediate corrective actions, including Division required actions, such as the construction
of additional or replacement wastewater treatment or disposal facilities. [15A NCAC 02T
.0108(b)(1)(A)]
2. This permit shall not relieve the Permittee of their responsibility for damages to groundwater or surface
water resulting from the operation of this facility. [15A NCAC 02T .0108(b)(1)(A)]
3. Groundwater monitoring wells shall be constructed in accordance with 15A NCAC 02C .0108
(Standards of Construction for Wells Other than Water Supply), and any other jurisdictional laws and
regulations pertaining to well construction. [15A NCAC 02C .0108]
4. Effluent quality shall not exceed the limitations specified in Attachment A. [15A NCAC 02T .0705(b)]
5. Application rates, whether hydraulic, nutrient, or other pollutant, shall not exceed those specified in
Attachment B. [ 15A NCAC 02T .0705(m)]

exceedance of groundwater standards at or beyond the review boundary shall require preventative
action. [15A NCAC 02L .0106(d)(1), 02L .0108]
8. The Permittee shall apply for a permit modification to establish a new compliance boundary prior to
any sale or transfer of property affecting a compliance boundary (i.e., parcel subdivision). [ 15A NCAC
02L ,0107(c)]
9. No wells, excluding Division -approved monitoring wells, shall be constructed within the compliance
boundary except as provided for in 15A NCAC 02L .0107(g). [ 15A NCAC 02L .0107]

b. Prohibits construction and operation of water supply wells within the compliance boundary; and
c. Reserves the right of the Permittee or the State to enter the property within the compliance boundary
for purposes related to the permit.
The Director may terminate the easement when its purpose has been fulfilled or is no longer needed.
