SUBJECT: 2020 NON -DISCHARGE SYSTEM RENEWAL FOR WQ0007217
Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Cherry Point submits the enclosed
renewal package for our non -discharge system permit WQ0007217. This
submittal package includes one original and one copy of all required
documents. An electronic copy of this application was uploaded via the
Non -Discharge Branch website. This permit is scheduled to expire on
April 30, 2021.
The current permit, and past revisions, have had no requirement to
install monitoring wells, thus monitoring well data is not applicable.
Due to the eroded condition of the land application area and that of
the marsh area surrounding it, installing new monitoring wells would
cause further damage to the site that is already considered in a
condition of non-compliance. Over the past 17 years, this site has
operated, on average, at 25% the daily effluent flow of 1,750 gallons
per day. It is for these two reasons that we ask that monitoring wells
not be a requirement of this renewal.
For additional information, please do not hesitate to contact Mr.
Timothy Lawrence of the Environmental Affairs Department at (252)466-
2754.

Subject: Permit No. WQ0007217
Piney Island (BT-11) WWTF
Wastewater Irrigation System
Carteret County
In accordance with your permit renewal request received October 19, 2015, we are forwarding
herewith Permit No. WQ0007217 dated May 23, 2016, to US MCAS Cherry Point for the continued
operation of the subject wastewater treatment and irrigation facilities.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until April 30, 2021, shall void Permit No.
WQ0007217 issued May 21, 2007, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein.
Please pay particular attention to the monitoring requirements listed in Attachments A and B for they may
differ from the previous permit issuance. Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting and
maintaining the required operational information shall result in future compliance problems.
Please note the following permit conditions have been removed since the last permit issuance
dated May 21, 2007:
➢ Old Condition 1.2. — Waste level gauge installed by Permittee.
➢ Old Condition 11.3. — This condition has been removed because there are no monitoring wells
associated with this facility.
Please note the following permit conditions are new since the last permit issuance dated May
21, 2007:
➢ Condition 1.1. — This condition outlines the requirement for creating a new waste disposal
method to replace the failing spray irrigation area.
➢ Condition 11.3. — This condition describes what is required to maintain and operate the
wastewater collection facilities.
➢ Condition I1.10. — This condition requires any landowner who owns land within the compliance
boundary, but who is not the Permittee, to execute and file with the County Register of Deeds
an easement with the requirements listed in the said Condition. Please note the previous permit
was subject to this requirement under 15A NCAC 02L .0107(f), therefore, this condition is
intended to voice this rule.

➢ Condition IV.6. — This condition requires that the Permittee take weekly freeboard
measurements of the 64,100 gallon storage basin.
➢ Condition 1V.8. -- This condition requires that the Permittee maintain a record of all residuals
removed from the facility.
➢ Condition 1V.9. -- This condition requires that the Permittee keep a log of all maintenance

the Permittee exemplifies any of the criteria in 15A NCAC 02T .0120(b).
➢ Attachment A — Monitoring for Total Nitrogen and Phosphorus has been added to the effluent
monitoring requirements to be consistent with our Non -Discharge Effluent Monitoring for
Domestic Wastewater guidelines based on the average effluent of less than 1,750 gallons per
day. The monitoring frequency for pH and Total Residual Chlorine has set on a `per event'
schedule because the Permittee can demonstrate that the facility irrigates at a rate of less than
once a week.
If any parts, requirements or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, the Permittee
has the right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within 30 days following receipt of
this permit. This request shall be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North
