Waste application activities shall not occur when the vertical separation between depth of application and the water table is less than three feet. Verification of the water table elevation can be confirmed by water level readings obtained from the monitor well(s) near the site or auger boring(s), which must be done within 24 hours prior to application of wastewater. Any open borings must be properly filled with native soil prior to application to decrease the chance of any waste contaminating the ground water. However, application may continue to take place when the separation distance is between one and three feet as a result of application activities, but at no time will it be less than one foot. [15A NCAC 02T .0108(b)(1)(A)] 19. Prior to each application (year round) in Irrigation Field 513, 10, and 11 (See Figures 1), the Permittee shall use the piezometers to determine if the ground water table is within three feet of the surface, and shall record the ground water elevation in relation to the surface (See Condition IV.3). [15A NCAC 02T .0108(b)(1)(A)] 20. If it is determined by the Division that the ground water table in the lowland fields is repeatedly within the three foot vertical separation, and that continual loading will only decrease the vertical separation distance and possibly adversely affect the groundwater quality, the Division shall require that use of Irrigation Field 513, 10, and 11 be discontinued indefinitely (See Figures 1). [15A NCAC 02T .0108(b)(1)(A)] IV.

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 measuring points (top 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 gg/L or less b. Standard Method 621 OD, PQL at 0.5 gg/L or less c. EPA Method 8021, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 gg/L or less d. EPA Method 8260, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 gg/L or less e. Another method with prior approval by the Water Quality Permitting Section Chief Any method used shall meet the following qualifications: a. A laboratory shall be DWR certified to run any method used. b. The method used shall include all the constituents listed in Table VIII of Standard Method 6230D. c. The method used shall provide a PQL of 0.5 gg/L or less that shall be supported by laboratory proficiency studies as required by the DWR Laboratory Certification Unit. Any constituents detected above the MDL but below the PQL of 0.5 gg/L shall 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 Asheville Regional Office supervisor, telephone number (828) 296-4500, shall be contacted immediately for further instructions regarding any additional follow-up analyses required. 6. If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/L are detected in any downgradient monitoring well, additional sampling and analysis shall be conducted to identify the individual constituents 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 naturally occurring TOC concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring TOC concentration in the downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling and analysis as described above. 7. Monitoring wells shall be reported consistent with the nomenclature and location information provided in Figure 1 and this attachment. WQ0004797 Version 2.0 Attachment C Page 1 of 1
