The hydrogeologic report provided for this application is insufficient because it does not provide
data for the newly proposed irrigation area and the report was performed too long ago. A
hydrogeologic report shall be prepared by a Licensed Geologist, Licensed Soil Scientist, or
Professional Engineer and shall be provided to the Division by the applicant for systems treating
industrial waste. This report shall include items listed in the WWIS 06-16 application, at a
minimum. [15A NCAC 02T .0504(e)]
Note: Industrial facilities with a design flow less than 25,000 gallons per day of wastewater that
demonstrate that the effluent will be of quality similar to domestic wastewater, including effluent
requirements established in 15A NCAC 02T .0505(b)(1), shall, upon request, be exempted from
this requirement. If the Permittee wishes to be exempt from this requirement, provide this effluent
data.
2. Provide an analysis on the current monitoring well locations at this site in relation to the proposed
irrigation area in the hydrogeologic report. 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 .0504(e)]
