Moncure, NC 27559
Dear Mr. Hillmann:
Subject: Permit No. WQ0003396
ATC Panels, Inc., Moncure
Wastewater Surface Irrigation
Chatham County
In accordance with your permit renewal and modification request received August 20, 2007, we
are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0003396, dated November 6, 2007, to ATC Panels, Inc. for the
continued operation of the subject wastewater treatment and surface irrigation facilities. This permit is
being modified to reflect the name change of the owner of record from SierraPine, Ltd. to ATC Panels,
Inc. and the name change of the facility from SierraPine, Ltd., Moncure Division to ATC Panels, Inc.,
Moncure.
It should be noted that the package submitted to apply for this permit renewal was
submitted after the expiration date of the previous issuance of this permit (i.e., submittal date of
August 20, 2007 versus an expiration date of June 30, 2005). The Permittee should make a better
effort to monitor permit expiration dates in the future to avoid potential enforcement action for
failing to submit a timely renewal as well as operating the wastewater surface irrigation without a
valid permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 31, 2012, shall void Permit
No. WQ0003396 issued September 12, 2003, 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. Of special interest to you may be the following:
♦ Condition I.1., regarding the spray irrigation site and monitoring wells information update
requirements.
♦ Condition L2., regarding the installation of a flow measuring device. The effluent flow
measurement (flow that goes to the spray field) is considered to be adequate for substitution
of influent flow measurement. The Division allows this substitution due to the fact that it is
difficult to determine the total influent that goes to the storage pond at this facility.
♦ Condition I.3., regarding an onsite notification of reuse water utilization.

I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The surface irrigation facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times so that there
is no discharge to the surface waters, nor any contamination of ground waters which will render them
unsatisfactory for normal use. In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including
the creation of nuisance conditions or failure of the irrigation area to adequately assimilate the
wastewater, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective actions including those actions that may be
required by the Division of Water Quality (Division), such as the construction of additional or
replacement wastewater treatment and disposal facilities.
2. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Perrnittee of the responsibility for damages to surface
or groundwaters resulting from the operation of this facility.
3. The residuals generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed in accordance with General
Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the Division.
4. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is prohibited.

The measurement of water levels must be made prior to sampling for the remaining
parameters. The depth to water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on
the top of the casing.
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.
If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg1l are detected in any downgradient monitoring
well, additional sampling and analysis must 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.
If any volatile organic compounds are detected by Method 6230D, then the Raleigh
Regional Office Groundwater Supervisor, telephone number [phone], must be
contacted immediately for further instructions regarding any additional follow-up analyses
required. The results of all initial and follow-up analyses must be submitted
simultaneously.

Subject: Permit No. WQ0003396
Weyerhaeuser Company
Moncure Facility
Wastewater Spray Irrigation
Chatham County
Dear Mr. Tracy:
In accordance with your application received January 31, 1995, we are forwarding herewith Permit
No. WQ0003396 dated August 31, 1995, to Weyerhaeuser Company for the continued operation of the
subject wastewater treatment and spray irrigation facilities. This permit allows a higher spray loading rate
for the subject irrigation field, as noted in the updated soils scientist report submitted. Please note, that by
this permit, the Division's Groundwater Section is requiring an additional upgradient monitoring well and
is reinstating monitoring for Total Dissolved Solids and Chloride. Additionally, monitoring for
Orthophosphate shall replace the monitoring of Total Phosphorous. It is noted that a substantial portion of
the subject treated wastewater is recycled back for use in the Weyerhaeuser Company Moncure
Manufacturing Plant.
It is understood Weyerhaeuser Company shall divert storm water away from the subject
collection/treatment facilities to comply with a Special Order by Consent, EMC WQ No. 93-06 (SOC).
This action is associated with the newly issued stormwater Permit No. NCS000151. It is noted that minor
pipe and valve eliminations or re -directions, may be needed to divert the stormwater from the subject permit
facilities, but there will be no changes to the subject treatment and spray irrigation facilities. The submitted
application indicates the wastewater flow will be greatly reduced. The wastewater flow diagrams provided
indicate an overflow discharge, at the holding lake, shall be eliminated, and that the Plant Filtered Water
and Plant Recycled Water shall be redirected to the initial treatment pond rather than going through the
holding lake first. Weyerhaeuser Company is reminded that an unpermitted discharge is a violation of this
permit and must not occur. Please note, a permit must be obtained prior to construction of any treatment
facilities requiring a permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until August 31, 2000, shall void Permit
No. WQ0003396 issued May 31, 1994, 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.

It is understood that the treated effluent from a 7,000 GPD domestic package wastewater
treatment facility (NPDES permit No. NCO040711) is discharged into treatment pond_ No. 2, and is
ultimately spray irrigated or recycled as part of the subject spray irrigation system. As a result, the
domestic wastewater facility has been listed as a wastewater contributor to this non -discharge permit.
Because domestic wastewater does enter the subject spray irrigation facilities, monitoring for Fecal
Coliform is required. Please note Weyerhaeuser Company must address the handling and stabilization of
the domestic residuals. Since, it has been determined that the wastewater from the domestic package plant
can be handled by the non -discharge spray system, Weyerhaeuser Company is also required to contact the
Division's NPDES permitting unit to request the NPDES permit issued for this package treatment plant be
voided.
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 thirty (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, P.O. Drawer
27447, Raleigh, NC 27611-7447. Unless such demands are made this permit shall be final and binding.
If you need additional information concerning this matter, please contact Mr. John Seymour at

Company's Moncure N.C. Fiberboard and Particleboard Manufacturing Plant with no discharge of wastes
to the surface waters, pursuant to the application received January 31, 1995, and in conformity with the
project plan, specifications, and other supporting data subsequently filed and approved by the Department
of Environment, Health and Natural Resources and considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until July 31, 2000 shall void Permit No.
WQ0003396 issued May 31, 1994, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and
limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. The spray irrigation facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times so that
there is no discharge to the surface waters, nor any contamination of ground waters which
will render them unsatisfactory for normal use. In the event that the facilities fail to
perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions or failure of the
irrigation area to adequately assimilate the wastewater, the Permittee shall take immediate
corrective actions including those actions that may be required by the Division of
Environmental Management, such as the construction of additional or replacement
wastewater treatment and disposal facilities.

2. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages
to surface or groundwaters resulting from the operation of this facility.
3. The residuals generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed in accordance with
General Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
4. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is
prohibited.
5. The following buffers shall be maintained:
a) 400 feet between wetted area and any residence or places of public assembly under
separate ownership,
b) 150 feet between wetted area and property lines,

d) 100 feet between wetted area and drainageways or surface water bodies,
e) 50 feet between wetted area and public right of ways,
f) 100 feet between wastewater treatment units and wells, and
g) 50 feet between wastewater treatment units and property lines.
Some of the buffers specified above may not have been included in previous permits for
this waste treatment and disposal system. These buffers are not intended to prohibit or
prevent modifications, which are required by the Division, to improve performance of the
existing treatment facility. These buffers do, however, apply to modifications of the
treatment and disposal facilities which are for the purpose of increasing the flow that is
tributary to the facility. These buffers do apply to any expansion or modification of the
spray irrigation areas and apply in instances in which the sale of property would cause any
of the buffers now complied with, for the treatment and disposal facilities, to be violated.
The applicant is advised that any modifications to the existing facilities will require a permit
modification.
II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. Upon classification of the facility by the Certification Commission, the Permittee shall
employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator to be in responsible charge (ORC) of
the wastewater treatment facilities. The operator must hold a certificate of the type and
grade at least equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the wastewater
treatment facilities by the Certification Commission. The Permittee must also employ a
certified back-up operator of the appropriate type and grade to comply with the conditions
of Title 15A, Chapter 8A, .0202. The ORC of the facility must visit each Class I facility at
least weekly and each Class II, III, and IV facility at least daily, excluding weekends and
holidays, and must properly manage and, document daily operation and maintenance of the
facility and must comply with all other conditions of Title 15A, Chapter 8A, .0202.
3. A suitable vegetative cover over the spray field shall be maintained.
4. Irrigation shall not be performed during inclement weather or when the ground is in a
condition that will cause runoff.
5. Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent wastewater runoff from the spray field.
6. The facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to
prevent the discharge of any wastewater resulting from the operation of this facility.

c. Any failure of a pumping station, sewer line, or treatment facility resulting in a by-pass
directly to receiving waters without treatment of all or any portion of the influent to
such station or facility; or
d. Any time that self -monitoring information indicates that the facility has gone out of
compliance with its permit limitations.
Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in letter
form within 15 days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report must outline
the actions taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem does not recur.
IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENIS
Within 90 days of permit issuance, one (1) upgradient monitor well shall be installed to
monitor groundwater quality. The well shall be constructed such that the water level in the
well is never above or below the screened (open) portion of the well at any time during the
year. The general location and name for each well is marked on Attachment A. The
monitoring well shall be located at the review boundary, constructed in accordance with
this permit, and approved by the Raleigh Regional Office.
2. The existing monitor wells MW-1, MW-3, MW-4, and MW-5, and the new monitor well
MW-6 shall be sampled initially after construction and thereafter every March, July, and
November for the following parameters:
NO3 Ammonia Nitrogen
TDS TOC
pH Water Level
Chloride Formaldehyde
Orthophosphate
Volatile Organic Compounds - In November only (by Method 1 or 2 below)
Method 1: Method 6230D (Capillary - Column), "Standard Methods For The
Examination of Water and Wastewater", 17th ed., 1989
Method 2: Method 502.2 "Methods For The Determination Of Organic Compounds
In Drinking Water", U.S. EPA-600/4.88/039
The measurement of water levels must be made prior to sampling for the remaining
parameters. The depth to water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on
the top of the casing.
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.
4

If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/1 are detected in any downgradient monitoring
well, additional sampling and analysis must 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/1, 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.
If any volatile organic compounds are detected by Method 6230D, or the equivalent Method
502.2, then the Raleigh Regional Office Groundwater Supervisor, telephone number 919/
571-4700 must be contacted immediately for further instructions regarding any additional
follow-up analyses required. The results of all initial and follow-up analyses must be
submitted simultaneously.
The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent to the Groundwater Section, Permits
and Compliance Unit, P.O. Box 29535 Raleigh, N.C. 27626-0535 on Form GW-59
[Compliance Monitoring Report Form] every April, August, and December.
3. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall
be provided.
4. All wells that are constructed for purposes of groundwater monitoring shall be constructed
in accordance with 15A NCAC 2C .0108 (Standards of Construction for Wells Other than
Water Supply) and any other state and local laws and regulations pertaining to well
construction.
5. The Raleigh Regional Office, telephone number 9191571-4700 shall be notified at least
forty-eight (48) hours prior to the construction of any monitoring well so that an inspection
can be made of the monitoring well location. Such notification to the regional groundwater
supervisor shall be made during the normal office hours from 5:00 a.m, until 5:00 p.m. on
Monday through Friday, excluding state holidays.
6. The COMPLIANCE --BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified by regulations in
15A NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. The Compliance Boundary is
for the disposal system constructed after December 31, 1983 is established at either (1) 25.0
feet from the waste disposal area, or (2) 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is
closest to the waste disposal area. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or
beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to immediate remediation action in addition to
the penalty provisions applicable under General Statute 143-215.6A(a)(1).
In accordance with 15A NCAC 2L, a REVIEW BOUNDARY is established around the
disposal systems midway between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the
waste disposal area. Any exceedance of standards at the Review Boundary shall require
remediation action on the part of the permittee.
7. Within sixty (60) days of completion of all monitoring wells, the permittee shall submit two
original copies of a scaled topographic map (scale no greater than 1 ":100') signed and
sealed by a professional engineer or a state licensed land surveyor that indicates all of the
following information:
a. the location and identity of each monitoring well,
b. the location of the waste disposal system,
c. the location of all property boundaries,
d. the latitude and longitude of the established horizontal control monument,
e. the relative elevation of the top of the well casing (which shall be known as the
"measuring point"), and
f. the depth of water below the measuring point at the time the measuring point is
established.

The survey shall be conducted using approved practices outlined in North Carolina General
Statutes Chapter 89C and the North Carolina Administrative Code Title 2.1, Chapter 56.
The surveyor shall establish a horizontal control monument on the property of the waste
disposal system and determine the latitude and longitude of this horizontal control
monument to a horizontal positional accuracy of +1- 10 feet. All other features listed in a.
through e. above shall be surveyed relative to this horizontal control monument. The t
positional accuracy of features listed in a. through e. above shall have a ratio of precision
not to exceed an error of closure of 1 foot per 10,000 feet of perimeter of the survey. Any
features located by the radial method will be located from a minimum of two points.
Horizontal control monument shall be installed in such a manner and made of such
materials that the monument will not be destroyed due to activities that may take place on
the property. The map shall also be surveyed using the North American Datum of 1983
coordinate system and shall indicate the datum on the map. All bearings or azimuths shall
be based on either the true or NAD 83 grid meridian. if a Global Positioning System
(GPS) is used to determine the latitude and longitude of the horizontal control monument, a
GPS receiver that has the capability to perform differential GPS shall be used and all data
collected by the GPS receiver will be differentially corrected.
The maps and any supporting documentation shall be sent to the Groundwater Section,
N.C. Division of Environmental Management P.O. Box 29535 Raleigh, N.C. 27626-
0535.
8. Upon completion of all well construction activities, a certification must be received from a
professional engineer certifying that the monitoring wells are located and constructed in
accordance with the Well Construction Standards (15A NCAC 2C) and this permit. This
certification should be submitted with copies of the Well Completion Form (GW-1) for
each well. Mail this certification and the associated GW-1 forms to the Permits and
Compliance Unit, Groundwater Section, P.O. Box 29535, Raleigh, NC, 27626-0535.
9. For the initial sampling of the well as specified elsewhere in the permit, the permittee shall
submit a copy of the GW-1 Form (Well Completion Form) with the Compliance
Monitoring Form (GW-59) for that well. Compliance Monitoring Forms that do not include
copies of the GW-1 form will be returned to the permittee without being processed. Failure
to submit these forms as required by this permit may result in the initiation of enforcement
activities pursuant to NC General Statutes 143-215.6.

DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH AND NATURAL RESOURCES
RALEIGH
SPRAY IRRIGATION SYSTEM PERMIT
In accordance with the provisions of Article 21 of Chapter 143, General Statutes of North Carolina as
amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO THE
Weyerhaeuser Company
Chatham County
FOR THE
continued operation of a 200,000 GPD spray irrigation treatment and disposal facility for contaminated
storm and process water consisting of wastewater holding facilities, a 500 GPM irrigation pump, and a
system of 11.5 GPM sprinkler nozzles divided into ten (10) spray zones on a 55 acre company owned
spray site, and all associated piping, valves, and appurtenances to serve Weyerhaeuser Company's
fiberboard and particleboard manufacturing plant with no discharge of wastes to the surface waters,
pursuant to the amendment request received November 19, 1993 from Mr. Joseph W. Kloeker,
Environmental Engineer, and in conformity with the project plan, specifications, and other supporting data
subsequently filed and approved by the Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources and
considered a part of this pen -nit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until July 31, 1995, shall void Permit No.
WQ0003396 issued December 11, 1990 and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and
limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARD
1. The spray irrigation facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times so that
there is no discharge to the surface waters, nor any contamination of ground waters which
will render them unsatisfactory for normal use. In the event that the facilities fail to
perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions or failure of the
irrigation area to adequately assimilate the wastewater, the Permittee shall take immediate
corrective actions including those actions that may be required by the Division of
Environmental Management, such as the construction of additional or replacement
wastewater treatment and disposal facilities.
2. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages
to surface or groundwaters resulting from the operation of this facility.
3. The residuals generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed in accordance with
General Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management.

4. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is
prohibited.
5. The following buffers shall be maintained:
a) 400 feet between wetted area and any residence or places of public assembly under
separate ownership,
b) 150 feet between wetted area and property lines,
c) 100 feet between wetted area and wells,
d) 100 feet between wetted area and drainageways or surface water bodies,
e) 50 feet between wetted area and public right of ways,
f) 100 feet between wastewater treatment units and wells, and
g) 50 feet between wastewater treatment units and property lines.
Some of the buffers specified above may not have been included in previous permits for
this waste treatment and disposal system. These buffers are not intended to prohibit or
prevent modifications, which are required by the Division, to improve performance of the
existing treatment facility. These buffers do, however, apply to modifications of the
treatment and disposal facilities which are for the purpose of increasing the flow that is
tributary to the facility. These buffers do apply to any expansion or modification of the
spray irrigation areas and apply in instances in which the sale of property would cause any
of the buffers now complied with, for the treatment and disposal facilities, to be violated.
The applicant is advised that any modifications to the existing facilities will require a permit
modification.
II. OPERATION_AND MAINTENANCE,,,RE011IREMENTS
1. The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. Upon classification of the facility by the Certification Commission, the Permittee shall
employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator to be in responsible charge (ORC) of
the wastewater treatment facilities. The operator must hold a certificate of the type and
grade at least equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the wastewater
treatment facilities by the Certification Commission. The Permittee must also employ a
certified back-up operator of the appropriate type and grade to comply with the conditions
of Title 15A, Chapter 8A, .0202. The ORC of the facility must visit each Class I facility at
least weekly and each Class II, III, and IV facility at least daily, excluding weekends and
holidays, and must properly manage and document daily operation and maintenance of the
facility and must comply with all other conditions of Title 15A, Chapter 8A, .0202.
3. A suitable vegetative cover shall be maintained.
4. Irrigation shall not be performed during inclement weather or when the ground is in a
condition that will cause runoff.
5. Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent wastewater runoff from the spray field.
b. The facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to
prevent the discharge of any wastewater resulting from the operation of this facility.
7. The application rate shall not exceed: a. 0.83 inches/week/year and

established at the lesser of 250 feet from the 1) spray irrigation areas 2) holding ponds,
or 50 feet within the property boundary.
If the title to any property which may affect the location of the Compliance Boundary is
changed, the permittee shall notify the Division Director within 14 days. The Director
shall then establish a modified Compliance Boundary which will be done as a
modification to the Permit.
The REVIEW BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified by regulations in 15
NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. A REVIEW BOUNDARY is
established around disposal systems midway between the Compliance Boundary and the
perimeter of the waste disposal area. When the concentration of any substance equals or
exceeds the maximum allowable concentration of that substance at the REVIEW
BOUNDARY, as determined by monitoring, the pemmittee shall either (i) demonstrate,
through predictive calculations or modeling, that natural site conditions, facility design
and operational controls will prevent a violation of standards at the Compliance
Boundary; or, (ii) submit a plan for the alteration of existing site conditions, facility

outline the actions taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem does not
recur.
IV. GROUNDWATER REQMEMENTS
Four (4) pressure -vacuum lysimeters must be installed at a depth of approximately three
to five feet below land surface in the spray irrigation fields. The locations shall be
approved by the Division prior to installation.
2. The lysimeters shall be sampled initially after construction (and prior to waste disposal
operations) and thereafter every March, July and November for the following
Parameters:
Formaldehyde TOC
pH
3. The four (4) existing monitor wells and the on -site downgradient potable water supply
well shall be sampled prior to start of waste disposal activities and thereafter every
March, July, and November for the following parameters:
NO3 (10.0) Ammonia Nitrogen
TDS (500.0) TOC
pH (6.5-8.5 standard units) Chloride (250.0)
Total Coliforms (1/100ml) Formaldehyde
Water Level Total Phosphorous
Volatile Organic Compounds - In November Only (By method 1 or 2 below)
Method 1: Method 6230D (Capillary - Column), "Standard Methods For The
Examination of Water and Wastewater", 17th ed., 1989
Method 2: Method 502.2 "Method For The Determination Of Organic Compounds
In Drinking Water", U.S. EPA - 600/4-88/039
The measurement of water level must be made prior to sampling for the remaining
parameters.
The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed
relative to mean sea level (M.S.L.). The depth of water in each well shall be measured
from the surveyed point on the top of the casing. The water level elevations shall then
be determined relative to M.S.L..
4

The numbers in parentheses represent the maximum allowable concentrations in
groundwater for the various analytical parameters, as specified in 15 NCAC 2L
f Groundwater Classifications and Standards]. Unless otherwise noted, the
concentrations are given in parts per million.
If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/l are detected in any downgradient monitoring
well, additional sampling and analysis must 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.
If any volatile organic compounds are detected by method 6230D, or the equivalent
method 502.2, then EPA methods 604 and 611 must also be run to detect other organic
compounds which may be present. The results of all analyses specified in the monitoring
requirements, including 604 and 611 if required, must be submitted simultaneously.
The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent to the N.C. Division of
Environmental Management on Form GW-59 (Compliance Monitoring Report Form)
every April, August, and December.
4. The Compliance Boundary for the disposal system is specified by regulations in 15
NCAC 2L, Classifications and Water Quality Standards applicable to the groundwater of
North Carolina. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards beyond the
Compliance Boundary is subject to penalty provisions applicable under General
Statute 143-215.6(1)a. The sale of property, by the Permittee, which is within or
contiguous to the disposal system site may alter location of the Compliance Boundary.
For facilities permitted on or after December 30, 1983, the Compliance Boundary is
established at the lesser of 250 feet from the 1) spray irrigation areas 2) holding ponds,
or 50 feet within the property boundary.
If the title to any property which may affect the location of the Compliance Boundary is
changed, the permittee shall notify the Division Director within 14 days. The Director
shall then establish a modified Compliance Boundary which will be done as a
modification to the Permit.
The REVIEW BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified by regulations in 15
NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. A REVIEW BOUNDARY is
established around disposal systems midway between the Compliance Boundary and the
perimeter of the waste disposal area. When the concentration of any substance equals or
exceeds the maximum allowable concentration of that substance at the REVIEW
BOUNDARY, as determined by monitoring, the permittee shall either (i) demonstrate,
through predictive calculations or modeling, that natural site conditions, facility design
and operational controls will prevent a violation of standards at the Compliance
Boundary; or, (ii) submit a plan for the alteration of existing site conditions, facility
design or operational controls that will prevent a violation of standards at the
Compliance Boundary, and implement that plan upon its approval by the Director.
5. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division,
shall be provided.
6. The analytical procedures utilized to quantify specified monitoring parameters must be in
accordance with State/ EPA approved analytical methods.
