and other applicable Laws,Rules,and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point
Craven County
FOR THE
continued operation of a mobile 8,640 gallon per day(GPD)groundwater remediation facility consisting of a trailer-
mounted mobile re-circulation system that includes well pumps, an oil/water separator, carbon filters, particulate
filters, mixing tanks, and re-injection apparatus for injection into 12 existing injection wells to remediate JP-5 Jet

received October 8, 2018, and in conformity with the project plan, specifications, and other supporting data
subsequently filed and approved by the Division and considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from April 1, 2019 (i.e., the day after the expiration date of the existing
permit)until March 31,2024, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. This permit shall become voidable if the soils fail to adequately assimilate the remaining wastes, and may
be rescinded unless the facilities/wells are installed, maintained, and operated in a manner which will
protect the assigned water quality standards of the surface and groundwaters. In the event that the facility
fails to perform satisfactorily, or the injection zone fails to adequately assimilate the injected fluid, the
Permittee shall take immediate corrective actions, including the repair, modification, or abandonment of
the facility/wells,as required by the Division of Water Resources. The Permittee may be required to reduce
or eliminate the permitted activity to protect the assigned water quality standards of surface and
groundwaters [15A NCAC 2T .1605(a)].
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[15A NCAC 2B .0200; 2L .0100].
3. Any 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 [15A NCAC 2T .1100].
4. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated groundwater from the treatment facilities is prohibited[15A NCAC
2T.0108(b)(1)].

1 5. Adequate measures shall be taken to divert stormwater from the disposal area and prevent wastewater runoff
from the subsurface disposal field [15A NCAC 2T .0108(b)(1)].
H. FACILITY OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. The injection facility,when operational, shall be properly maintained and operated. The treated water
discharged must not cause a violation of Class GA Standards for any constituent beyond the Compliance
Boundary,nor cause the migration of the contamination into unaffected areas. If the treatment system
fails to consistently achieve this standard, additional treatment units or changes in operational needs may
be required.
2. The Washington Regional Office,telephone number(252) 946-6481, shall be notified at least forty-eight
(48)hours in advance of operation of the installed facilities,including the initiation of injection
operations, so that an in-place inspection can be made. Such notification to the regional supervisor shall
be made during the normal office hours from 8:00 a.m.until 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday,
excluding State Holidays.
• 3. All components of the groundwater recovery,treatment, and disposal system shall be properly weather-
proofed to prevent freezing and failure of the system. [15A NCAC 2T .0108(b)].
4. The injection well(s) shall be operated above the water table at all times [15A NCAC 2T .0108(b)].
5. Flow measurement devices shall be installed on the mobile unit to monitor the volumes injected at each
injection well. Also each injection wellhead shall be equipped to measure the injection pressure at the
screened interval. If the injection pressure is greater than atmospheric pressure,the mechanical integrity
of the injection well(s) shall be demonstrated according to 15A NCAC 2C .0207.
6. Within fifteen days of any change of status of an injection well, the Permittee shall provide written
notification to the Division. Such a change would include the discontinued use of a well for injection
[15A NCAC 2C .0240]. If a well is taken completely out of service temporarily,the Permittee must
install a sanitary seal. If a well is not to be used for any purpose,that well must be permanently
abandoned according to15A NCAC 2C .0113,Well Construction Standards.
7. The Permittee shall maintain a log or report including dates and times of inspections,maintenance,repairs
or corrective actions taken by the Permittee, and removal of all residuals from this facility. Residual
removal information shall include the name of the hauler,permit authorizing the disposal of a letter from a
municipality agreeing to accept the residuals, date the residuals were hauled, and volume of residuals
removed. This record shall be maintained by the Permittee and include three years of data and shall be
made available to the Division or other permitting authority,upon request [15A NCAC 2T .1607(a)].
8. Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the Division may, upon presentation of
credentials, enter and inspect any property,premises or place on or related to the disposal site or facility at
any reasonable time for the purpose of determining compliance with this permit (including inspection,
observation, and sampling associated with injection and any related facilities as provided for in N.C.G.S.
87-90), may inspect or copy any records or annual facility report that must be maintained under the terms

leachate[N.C.G.S. 143-215.3(a)(2)].
III. MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
1. Permit monitoring and reporting requirements are suspended while the remediation system is not in
operation. The Division shall be notified in writing 30 days prior to operation of the system with relevant
attachments indicating any changes in design and monitoring. These requirements will begin when

�v
system operation resumes: NOTE: monitoring and reporting requirements suspended by this permit do
not affect monitoring and reporting that may be required by any other permit and/or corrective action
plans at this site.
2. When operation resumes,prior to sampling the parameters in the on-site wells,the measurement of water
levels must be taken. 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
relative to a common datum [15A NCAC 2L .0110].
3. Any laboratory selected to analyze parameters must be Division of Water Resources certified for those
parameters required[15A NCAC 2H .0800].
4. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be provided
