Wastewater System Waiver can be filled out and recorded with the Burke County Register of Deeds
to waive this setback.

industrial waste. This report shall include items listed in the WWIS 06-16 application, at a
minimum. [15A NCAC 02T .0504(e)]
2. Provide an analysis on the current monitoring well locations at this site in relation to the proposed
irrigation area. If the monitoring wells do not sufficiently capture the groundwater up -gradient and
downgradient of the wastewater application site, propose new well location(s). [15A NCAC 02T

I. En2ineerin2 Plans:
1. Show the existing monitoring well locations on sheet C-104. [15A NCAC 02T .0504(d)]
2. Show a clearing, grubbing, and fill plan/notes in the Engineering Plans. It is unclear which areas
will be cleared, grubbed, and/or filled. Show all major surface diversion ditches to be filled. [15A
NCAC 02T .0504(c)]
A revised Engineering plan was sent to Mikal Willmer in the Asheville Regional Office on October
1, 2019 showing reduced irrigation area in Zones 5 and 6. If Zones 5 and 6 are being reduced in
size, all applicable materials related to the irrigation area sizing shall be modified (i.e. cover letter,
application, water balance, engineering specifications, engineering calculations, and site map). A
signed, sealed, and dated full-size and half-size plan set shall also be submitted with the updated
modifications.
J. Specifications:
1. Provide further specifications on the earthwork that will occur in the irrigation area. It is unclear
if fill material will be provided inside the wetted area boundary or if it will only be used to fill
ditches in the unsuitable areas. [15A NCAC 02T .0504(c)]
2. Specify if the woods will be thinned and lanes installed per the Soil Scientist's recommendation.
[15A NCAC 02T .0504(c)]
3. It is unclear if the existing pump controls the existing irrigation area and the proposed pump
controls the proposed irrigation area. Multiple pumps shall be provided wherever pumps are used.
Either provide calculations showing that one pump has the ability to irrigate all zones, provide a
third pump for back-up, or apply for Alternative Design Criteria for lack of pump duality. [15A
