Mr. Thornburg:
We are writing concerning the Non -Discharge Permit renewal application for our Lincoln
County Plant located at 288 Whitehouse Road.
We have not operated the Apple Processing Facility for a number of years and are currently
leasing the property to a Company which does not use the Non -Discharge Spray Irrigation
Wastewater System. We are not planning to restart the processing any time but wish to renew the
Non -Discharge Permit. The renewal documentation is enclosed. Since the Non -Discharge
System is not operating, can the QRC only be required to visit the Plant every other month or
less? We appreciate you considering this change.
If you have any questions please contact me. You may call me at 540-974-6873 which is my
cell phone or contact me by e-mail.

DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT 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
National Fruit Product Company, Inc.
Lincoln County
FOR THE
continued operation of a 60,000 GPD spray irrigation treatment and disposal facility consisting of a 12,500 gallon
capacity surge tank, a 300,000 gallon capacity storage tank, a 2,000,000 gallon storage capacity lagoon, dual 585
GPM irrigation pumps, a six zone, 21.5 acre irrigation disposal area, manual controller, and all associated piping,
valves, and appurtenances to serve National Fruit Product Company, Inc., with no discharge of wastes to the
surface waters, pursuant to the application received April 4, 2000, and in conformity with the project plan,
specifications, and other supporting data subsequently filed and approved by the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources and considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the- date of issuance until June 30, 2005, shall void Permit No.
WQ0003924 issued January 17, 1996, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
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 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 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 Division.

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.
H. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REOUIREMENTS
The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. Upon classification of the facility by the Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification
Commission (WPCSOCC), 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

The Groundwater Section has reviewed the permit renewal request for the continued
operation of the 60,000 GPD spray irrigation treatment and disposal facility, consisting of a 12,500
gallon capacity surge tank, a 300,000 gallon capacity storage tank, a 2,000,000 gallon storage
capacity lagoon, dual 585 GPM irrigation pumps, and a six zone 21.5 acre irrigation disposal area.
The wastewater is process water used for bottling vinegar and Gatorade. The groundwater
monitoring schedule at the site may be reduced fiom three times a year to twice a year due to
infrequent exceedances of 2L Groundwater Standards.
Based upon the Groundwater Section's review of the subject permit application and
supporting documentation, the Groundwater Section makes the following recommendations:
*1. The four (4) existing monitor wells, MW-1, MW-2, MW-3, and MW-44, (depicted on
Attachment A) shall be sampled every April and October for the following parameters:
Water Level pH
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Chloride
Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Total Ammonia
2. 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/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.
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.
4. The results of the sampling and analysis must be received on Form GW-59
(Groundwater Quality Monitoring: Compliance Report Form) by the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources, Water Quality Division, Groundwater Section,
Permits and Compliance Unit, 1636 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1636 on
or before the last working day of the month following the sampling month.
5. The COMPLIANCE BOi IND RY for the disposal system is specified by regulations in 15A
NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. The Compliance Boundary is for the
disposal system individually permitted after December 31, 1983 is established at either (1)
250 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.
6. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall
be provided.
*Denotes different language than the shell document.

Re: Soil Samples
The soil samples taken from your company turned out good results.
The ph was in the neutral range at 7.0 - 7.5. Minerals were found.
to be in the moderate range which is good.
I reccomended 275 pounds of 18-9-9 fertilizer per acre. This is a
good fertilizer for grass such as you have. If it were
grazed, then we could go a different route. .
In the fall of this year, you could apply 1.5-2.0.tons of lime Pe
r acre. This' would again be a maintenance Practice..
If we Gan .further sere you, let us know. -

Groundwater Section - Permits
Parker -Lincoln Bld., Raleigh
FROM: Susie Caldwell
GW Section, Mooresville Regional Office
SUBJECT: National Fruit Product Company
Permit Renewal
The National Fruit Product Company has made changes in their production, in that they
no longer process apples into juice or sauce. The facility is processing and bottling vinegar and
Gatorade from concentrate, by combining the concentrate mainly with syrup and water, and
bottling the product.
The lagoon is not at full capacity. The water use has dropped approximately 3/4 from the
previous usage. By not processing any fruit, and doing only the mixing and bottling of a product
from a concentrate, is it necessary for them to continue the monitoring three times a year? Is it
necessary to test for all of the listed constituents: ammonia nitrate, chloride, TDS, TOC, pH and
water levels? Can the GW monitoring, if necessary, be combined with the timing and
constituents required by Water Quality??
The lagoon looked in good shape, the fields are in good condition with working spray
heads in place. The Feb. 2000 monitoring report had MW-4 with TOC of 70.2. Using Method
625 for VOC, per permit stipulation, the results showed "not detected" for all parameters.
On April 24 I talked to you about the monitoring requirements with regard to the change
in process and amount of water being utilized now. You requested they send in information as to
what is in the water. I am enclosing a sheet that Mr. L. D. Shockley faxed me concerning soil
samples, and another packet that is a report of the wastewater that the Water Quality Division
did in March of 2000, note Part III, number 5....no known air quality, groundwater, or hazardous
materials concerns.
I have not received any thing in response to my request to National Fruit as to what is in
the waste water, but if/when I receive a report I will forward it on to you.

SUBJECT: Revised Comments
National Fruit Product Co., Inc.
Lincoln County
WQ0003924/GW95224
(Randy Kepler: DEM SERG Review Engineer)
The Groundwater Section has reviewed the subject permit amendment. application for a
600,000 gallon capacity lagoon along with an increase of an additional 2,000,000 gallon capacity to
store industrial wastewater from the National Fruit Product Co., Inc., prior to spray irrigation onto
21.5 acres. Although there is less than one (1) foot separating the bottom of the lagoon and the
seasonal high water table level, in contraventation of 15A NCAC 2H .0219(e), the
Groundwater Section will not require any modifications to the lagoon, as it is already an
existing system with monitor wells in place (see Groundwater Conditions). However, the
Water Ouality Section should be advised that because of the close Proximity of a stream to the
south of the lagoon, any occurrence of groundwater contamination is likely to impact surface
water. The Water Quality Section might want to consider this during their final review.
Otherwise, the Groundwater Section recommends reissuance of the permit with the following
conditions:
* 1. The monitor wells NW-1, MW-2, MW-3, and MW4 shall be sampled every
February, June, and October for the following parameters:
Ammonia Nitrogen TDS
Chloride TOC
pH Water Levels
* -- Different language from previous permit.
Note deletion of Conductivity, Nitrate, Total Coliforms, Total Suspended
Solids, and Volatile Organic Compounds from monitoring requirements.

Memorandum
December 21, 1995
Page 2
2. 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 ofwell casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to
provide the relative elevation of the measuring point for each monitoring well.
3. 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/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.
4. The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent to the Groundwater Section,

WQ0003924/GW95224
(Randy Kepler: DEM SERG Review Engineer)
The Groundwater Section has reviewed the subject permit amendment application for a
600,000 gallon capacity lagoon along with an increase of an additional 2,000,000 gallon capacity to
store industrial wastewater from the National Fruit Product Co., Inc., prior to spray irrigation onto
21.5 acres. Approval of the permit amendment is contingent upon the fact that the lagoon
should be redesigned so that there is at least one (1) foot separating the bottom of the lagoon
and the seasonal high water table level in accordance with 15A NCAC 211 .0219(e) (see
Groundwater Conditions). Based on the close Proximity of a stream to the south of the
lagoon, any occurrence of groundwater contamination is likely to impact surface water. The
Water Quality Section might want to consider this during their final review. Otherwise, the
Groundwater Section recommends reissuance of the permit with the following conditions:
*1. The lagoon must be redesigned so that there is at least a one (1) foot separation
between the bottom of the lagoon and the seasonal high water table, in accordance
with Commission Rule 15A NCAC 2H .0219(e).
*2. The lagoon shall have a liner of natural material at least one foot in thickness,
compacted to 95% proctor standard dry density and installed and compacted in lays
no thicker than six (6) inches, with a hydraulic conductivity of no greater than 1x10-6
cm./sec. Within sixty (60) days following installation and inspection of the lagoon
liner, and prior to waste disposal operations, verification of the liner's compliance
with hydraulic conductivity and thickness specifications must be provided to the
* -- Different language from previous permit.

*3. The monitor wells MW-1, MW-2, MW-3, and MW-4 shall be sampled every
February, June, and October for the following parameters:
Ammonia Nitrogen TDS
Chloride TOC
pH Water Levels
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent to the Groundwater Section,
Permits and Compliance Unit, P.O. Box 29578, Raleigh, NC 27626-0578 on Form
GW-59 [Compliance Monitoring Report Form] every March, July, and November.

Lagoon Expansion
National Fruit Product Co., Inc.
Lincolnton, NC -
Dear Mr. Kepler:
As per your letter of November 13, 1995 concerning the
referenced project, the following comments are submitted for
review:
Groundwater Section
1. Construction drawings showing the lagoon expansion have been
submitted to the Permits & Engineering Group.
2. Enclosed is a copy of the original layout of the spray
irrigation system.`
3. From on -site observations, the high ground water table
appears to be 8' to 10' below original grade at the lagoon
site and 2' to 3' below the original grade at the lower
areas from monitoring well records.
4. An existing monitoring well network is currently in use
at the project.
Permits & Engineering
1. Existing lagoon sludge will be removed by dragline & bucket
while there is water in the lagoon. There is currently a
Comprehensive Biosolids Nutrient and Best Management Plan
approved by the Division of Solid Waste Management for land
application of certain solid wastes from the Lincolnton
plant, including wastewater bottom sludge; hauling of the

[phone]

waste to the approved disposal site would be performed by
National Fruit or Stanley Septic (NCS-00141). The lagoon
expansion will be excavated without removing the existing
dam. The existing dam will be removed on a weekend when
there is no production and no wastewater in the existing
lagoon.
2. A hydraulic conductivity test will be performed on the in -
place soils. The existing lagoon does not have a synthetic
liner and does not have any visual seepage problems.
Please contact me if additional information is required.
Sincerely,
P trick Warren, P.E. --

FOR THE
continued operation of a. 60,000 GPD spray irrigation treatment and disposal facility consisting of a
12,500 gallon capacity surge tank, a 300,000 gallon capacity storage tank, a 600,000 gallon / 0.5 acre
storage capacity lagoon, dual 585 GPM irrigation pumps, a six zone 21.5 acre irrigation disposal area,
manual controller, and all associated valves, piping, and appurtenances to serve National Fruit Product
Company, Inc., with no discharge of wastes to the surface waters, pursuant to the application received
July 27, 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 September 30, 2000, shall void Permit
No. WQ0003924 issued December 31, 1990, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions
and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS.
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 thel 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.
H. 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 shall be maintained over the spray fields at all times.
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.
7. The application rate shall not exceed a cumulative loading of 45.5 inches over any twelve
(12) month period at an instantaneous application rate not to exceed 0.5 inches per hour.
8. No type of wastewater other than that from National Fruit Product Company, Inc.'s
Lincolnton facility shall be sprayed onto the irrigation area.
9. No traffic or equipment shall be allowed on the disposal area except while installation
occurs or while normal maintenance is being performed.

10. Public access to the land application sites shall be controlled during active site use. Such
controls may include the -posting of signs showing the activities being conducted at each
site.
11. Freeboard in the lagoon shall not be less than two feet at any time.
III. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
1. . Any monitoring (including. groundwater, surface water,. soil. or plant tissue analyses)
deemed necessary by the Division of Environmental Management to insure surface and
ground water protection will be established and an acceptable sampling reporting schedule
shall be followed.

If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/l are detected inany 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 the Mooresville Regional Office Groundwater Supervisor, telephone number
704-663-1699, 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 March, July and November.
3. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall
be provided.

4. 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) 250
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.
5. 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 21, 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 +/- 10 feet. All other features listed in a.
through e. above shall be surveyed relative to this horizontal control monument. The
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. No land application of waste activities shall be undertaken when the seasonal high water
table is less than three (3) feet below land surface.

A critical part of your soil test report is pll and the amount of lime required for optimum forage production. Low soil pll and low phosphorus cause more yield losses than any other factor in forage
production. Excessive soil acidity (low pul) reduces lire capacity of forage crops to utilize applied fertilizer ni lrients. Lime recommendations are based on pit, amount of acidity, and desired pit for the
designated crop. Establishment and maintenance of legumes depends very heavily on maintaining the proper pH.
For best results , recommended lime and fertilizer should be mixed Into the top 6-8 inches before establishment. Although most forage crops show no response to phosphorus and potassium ;
index, some will be recommended for certain crops.
Recommendations for nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are for annual application. Depending on the crop, climate and soils, split applications of nitrogen and potassium may be required.
experience, management level and economics will influence rates and time of application. For additional information, see Note 12 "Forage and Pasture Crops" that accompanies your soil test repor
shows the relationship between soil test level and response to applied nutrients.

Recommendations:
Soil plI is very low in samples 1, 2 and 3, which is typical of native soils in the piedmont. Phosphorus levels are low in all 5 samples. Any recommended lime should be applied as soon as _
possible. Since lime and phosphorus move very slowly through the soil, mix the suggested treatments into the soil where possible. There is a separate page indicating cadmium, lead and nickel
levels present in the soil. The units shown are in parts per million (PPM). Multiply the reported number by 10 to eliminate the dilution factor used in our analysis.

The existing permit for the operation of this facility, Permit No. WQ0003924, was issued
on December 31, 1990 and expires on December 31, 1995. The existing permit approves the
operation of.the 60,000 gallon -per -day spray irrigation treatment/disposal facility which
includes two 25,000 gallon capacity surge tanks, a 300,000 gallon capacity storage tank, a
600,000 gallon capacity, 0.5 acre storage lagoon, and a six -zone, 21.5 acre spray irrigation
disposal area.
Three monitor wells were installed and sampled three times a year to monitor ground
water quality at the facility as a condition of the existing permit.
The renewal involves no additions, changes, or other modifications to the existing system.
The Groundwater Section has reviewed the subject permit renewal application and
recommends reissuance of the permit with the following conditions:
1. Monitor wells MW-1, MW-2, and MW-3 shall be sampled eveiy February, Tune, and

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.
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 the Mooresville 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.
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 March, July, and November.
2. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall
be provided. -
3. 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) 250
2

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.
4. Within sixty (60) days of the issuance of this permit, 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 all components 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.
This survey shall be conducted using approved practices outlined in North Carolina General
Statutes Chapter 89C and the North Carolina Administrative Code Title 21, 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 +/-10 feet. All other features listed in a.
through e. above shall be surveyed relative to this horizontal control monument. The
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 fi-om a minimum of two points.
Horizontal control monuments 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, NC
3

Division of Environmental Management, P.O. Box 29535, Raleigh, NC, 27626-0535.
5. No lard application of waste activities shall be undertaken when the seasonal high water
table is less than three feet below land surface.

compliance with its permit limitations.
3

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. CzROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
1. Within 90 days of permit issuance, three (3) monitor wells, one (1) upgradient and two
(2) downgradient, shall be installed to monitor groundwater quality. The well(s) 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. However, the exact location and
construction details for these wells shall be approved by the Mooresville Regional
Office, from which a well construction permit must be obtained.
2. The monitoring wells shall be sampled initially after construction and thereafter every
February, June, and October for the following parameters:.
NO3 (10.0) Ammonia Nitrogen
TDS (500.0) TOC
pH (6.5 - 8.5 Standard Units) Water Level
Chloride (250.0) Total Coliforms (1/100ml)
Total Suspended Solids Conductivity
Volatile Organic Compounds - (by Method 1 or Method 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 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.
The numbers in parentheses represent the maximum allowable concentrations in
groundwater for the various analytical parameters, as specified in 15 NCAC 2L
[Groundwater Classifications and Standards].- Unless otherwise specified, the units
for these concentrations are expressed as milligrams per liter.
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/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.
2

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 March, July, and November.
3. The Compliance Boundary for the disposal system is specified by regulations in 15
NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. 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 the 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 perimeter of the waste disposal area, 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 DEM 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.
4. No land application of waste activities shall be undertaken when the seasonal high
water table is less than three feet below land surface.
5. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the
Division, shall be provided.
V . INSPECTIONS
1. Adequate inspection, maintenance,and cleaning shall be provided by the Permittee to
insure proper operation of the subject facilities.
2. The Permittee or his designee shall inspect the wastewater treatment and disposal
facilities to prevent malfunctions and deterioration, operator errors and discharges which
may cause or lead to the release of wastes to the environment, a threat to human health,
or a nuisance. The Permittee shall keep an inspection log or summary including at.least
the date and time of inspection, observations made, and any maintenance, repairs, or
corrective actions taken by the Permittee. This log of inspections shall be maintained by
the Permittee for a period of three years from the date of the inspection and shall be made
available upon request to the Division of Environmental Management or other permitting
authority.
5

3. Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the Division of
Environmental Management may, upon presentation of credentials, enter and inspect
any property, premises or place on or related to the disposal site and facility at any
reasonable time for the purpose of determining compliance with this permit; may inspect
or copy any records that must be kept under the terms and conditions of this permit; or
may obtain samples of groundwater, surface water, or leachate.
VI. GENERAL CONDITIONS
This permit shall become voidable unless the facilities are constructed in accordance with
the conditions of this permit, the approved plans, specifications, and other supporting
data.
2. This permit is effective only with respect to the nature and volume of wastes described. in
the application and other supporting data.
3. This permit is not transferable.- In the event there is a desire for the facilities to change
ownership, or there is a name change of the Permittee, a formal permit request must be
submitted to the Division of Environmental Management accompanied by an application
fee, documentation from the parties involved, and other supporting materials as may be
appropriate. The approval of this request will be considered on its merits and may or

compliance with its permit limitations.
3

Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report iri 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 REQUIREMENTS
1. Within 90 days of permit issuance, three (3) monitor wells, one (1) upgradient and two
(2) downgradient, shall be installed to monitor groundwater quality. The well(s) 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. However, the exact location and
construction details for these wells shall be approved by the Mooresville Regional
Office, from which a well construction permit must be obtained.
2. The monitoring wells shall be sampled initially after construction and thereafter every
February, June, and October for the following parameters:
NO3 (10.0) Ammonia Nitrogen
TDS (500.0) TOC
pH (6.5 - 8.5 Standard Units) Water Level
Chloride (250.0) Total Coliforms (1/100ml)
Total Suspended Solids Conductivity
Volatile Organic Compounds - (by Method 1 or Method 2 below).
Method 1: Method 6230D (Capillary - Column), "Standard Methods For The
Examination of Water and Wastewater', 17th ed., 1989. 1
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 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.
The numbers in parentheses represent the maximum allowable_ concentrations in
groundwater for the various analytical parameters, as specified in 15 NCAC 2L
[Groundwater Classifications and Standards]: Unless otherwise specified, the units
for these concentrations are expressed as milligrams per liter.
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/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.
0

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 March, July, and November.
3. The Compliance Boundary for the disposal system is specified by regulations in 15
NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. 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 the 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 perimeter of the waste disposal area, 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 DEM 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.
4. No land application of waste activities shall be undertaken when the seasonal high
water table is less than three feet below land surface.
5. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the
Division, shall be provided.
V . INSPECTIONS
1. Adequate inspection, maintenance, and cleaning shall be provided by the Permittee to
insure proper operation of the subject facilities.
2. The Permittee or his designee shall inspect the wastewater treatment and disposal
facilities to prevent malfunctions and deterioration, operator errors and discharges which
may cause or lead to the release of wastes to the environment,' a threat to human health,
or a nuisance. The Permittee shall keep an inspection log or summary including at least
the date and time of inspection, observations made, and any maintenance, repairs, or'
corrective actions taken by the Permittee. This log of inspections shall be maintained by
the Permittee for a period of three years from the date of the inspection and shall be made
available upon request to the Division of Environmental Management or other permitting
authority.
5

3. Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the Division of
Environmental Management may, upon presentation of credentials, enter and inspect
any property, premises or place on or related to the disposal site and facility at any
reasonable time for the purpose of determining compliance with this permit; may inspect
or copy any records that must be kept under the terms and conditions of this permit; or
may obtain samples of groundwater, surface water, or leachate.
VI. GENERAL CONDITIONS
1. This permit shall become voidable unless the facilities are constructed in accordance with
the conditions of this permit, the approved plans, specifications, and other supporting
data.
2. This permit is effective only with respect to the nature and volume of wastes described in
the application and other supporting data.
3. This permit is not transferable. In the event there is a desire for the facilities to change
ownership, or there is a name change of the Permittee, a formal permit request must be
submitted to the Division of Environmental Management accompanied by an application
fee, documentation from the parties involved, and other supporting materials as may be
appropriate. The approval of this request will be considered on its merits and may or

Dear Mr. Bolden:
We are writing to confirm our phone conversation of January
22, 1991 concerning Permit No. WQ0003924 for our Lincolnton,
North Carolina plant. As we discussed, the two 25,000 gallon
capacity wooden tanks used as surge tanks at the plant pumping
station have been replaced with a 10,000 gallon fiberglass tank
due to deterioration of the wooden tanks. This in no way affects
the operation of the irrigation system since the tank is used
only as a surge tank in the system used to pump wastewater from
our plant to the 300,000 gallon storage tank prior to irrigation.
You indicated that you would amend the Permit to reflect this
change.
If you need any further information or have any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact us.

K

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 REQUIREMENT
1. Within 9.0 days of permit issuance, three (3) monitor wells, one (1) upgradient and two
(2) downgradient, shall be installed to monitor groundwater quality. The well(s) 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. However, the exact location and
construction details for these wells shall be approved by the Mooresville Regional
Office, from which a.well construction permit must be obtained.
2. The monitoring wells shall be sampled initially after construction and thereafter every
February, June, and October for the following parameters:
NO3 (10.0) Ammonia Nitrogen
TDS (500.0) TOC
pH (6.5 - 8.5 Standard Units) Water Level
Chloride (250.0) Total ColiforLms (1/100ml)
Total Suspended Solids' Conductivity
Volatile Organic Compounds - (by Method 1 or Method 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- 8 8/03 9.
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.
The numbers in parentheses represent the maximum allowable concentrations in
groundwater for the various analytical parameters, as specified in 15 NCAC 2L
[Groundwater Classifications and Standards]. Unless otherwise specified, the units
for these concentrations are expressed as milligrams per liter.
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.
0

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 March, July, and November.
3. The Compliance Boundary for the disposal system is specified by regulations in 15
NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. 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 the 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 perimeter of the waste disposal area, 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 DEM 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, GO 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.
4. No land application of waste activities shall be undertaken when the seasonal high
water table is less than three feet below land surface.
5. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the
Division, shall be provided.
V . INSPECTIONS
1. Adequate inspection, .maintenance, and cleaning shall be provided by the Permittee to
insure proper operation of the subject facilities.
2. The Permittee or his designee shall inspect the wastewater treatment and disposal
facilities to prevent malfunctions and deterioration, operator errors and discharges which
may cause or lead to the release of wastes to the environment, a threat to human health,
or a nuisance. The Permittee shall keep an inspection log or summary including at least
the date and time of inspection, observations made, and any maintenance, repairs, or
corrective actions taken by the Permittee. This log of inspections shall be maintained by
the Permittee for a period of three years from the date of the inspection and shall be made
available upon request to the Division of Environmental Management or other permitting
authority.
5

3. Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the Division of
Environmental Management may, upon presentation of credentials, enter and inspect
any property, premises or place on or related to the disposal site and facility at any
reasonable time for the purpose of determining compliance with this permit; may inspect
or copy any records that must be kept under the terms and conditions of this permit; -or
may obtain samples of groundwater, surface water, or leachate.

RECEIVIED

The Groundwater Section_ has reviewed. the subject permit
renewal request and recommends approval with the following
conditions:
1. Within 90 days of permit issuance, three (3) monitor
wells, one (1) upgradient and two (2) downgradient,
shall be installed to monitor groundwater quality. The
well(s) 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.
However, the exact location and construction details
for these wells shall be approved by the Mooresville
Regional Office, from which a well construction permit
must be obtained.
2. The monitor wells shall,be sampled initially after
construction and thereafter every February, June and
October for the following parameters:
NO 33 (10.0) Ammonia Nitrogen
TD5 (500.0) TOC
pH (6.5-8.5 standard units) Water Level
Chloride (250.0) Total Coliforms (1/100ml)
Total Suspended Solids Conductivity
Volatile Organic Compounds - (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 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..
The numbers in parentheses represent the maximum
allowable concentrations in.groundwater for the various
analytical parameters, as specified in 15 NCAC 2L
[Groundwater Classifications and Standards]- Unless
otherwise specified, the units for these concentrations
are expressed as milligrams per liter.
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/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
March, July and November.
3. The Compliance Boundary for the disposal system is
specified by regulations in 15 NCAC 2L, Groundwater
Classifications and Standards. An exceedance of
Groundwater Quality Standards beyond the Compliance
Boundary is subject to the 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 site, may alter the 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 perimeter of the waste disposal area,
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 DEM 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 .1
Compliance : Boundary p y '.the - ;perimeter of .-the waste
disposal area., Whenthe..'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 M
demonstrate., through; ;predictive :calculations or
modeling,, that',natural -site conditions -, f acility design
and operational control,s•.wi-11 "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.
4. No land application of waste activities 'shall be
undertaken when the seasonal high water table is less
than three feet below land surface.
5. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as
deemed necessary by the Division, shall be provided.

GROUNDWATER MONITORING PLAN
1. Proposed location of groundwater monitoring wells. The locations of
proposed wells MW-1, MW-2, and MW-3 are shown on the attached site
drawing. Well MW-4 is an existing well 185 ft. in total depth con-
sisting of 42 ft. of casing to bedrocks and 143 ft. in bedrock.
It is our intention to construct the three new wells (MW-1,MW-2,MW-3)
using an air -rotary well rig which can penetrate the bedrock formation.
The wells will be a minimum 4" in diameter and constructed in the
uppermost water bearing zone encountered in the bedrock. A steel cas-
ing will be set into the rock and the outer annular space will be
filled with a lean cement grout (9:1 mix). The remainder of the well
will be "open -hole" in competent rock. A protective steel casing
with locking cap will be installed at the surface to preverit un-
authorized tampering of the wells. A concrete pad or apron will be
included at the surface to provide positive drainage away from the
well.
Upon approval of this monitoring program, ground surface and
top of well casing elevations will be determined by a certified land
surveyor for all monitoring wells.
2. Groundwater monitoring plan.
We propose to sample and analyze groundwater from the four monitoring
wells on a quarterly basis for the following parameters:
COD
pH
Conductivity
TKN
NO3 nitrogen
Chloride
We believe that this groundwater monitoring plan will effectively
serve to evaluate any groundwater movement from the irrigation site
and urge approval of this plan.

It appears that two sectors or zones are operated when
spraying. This is kind: of interesting since not all of'the zones
have the same number of spray heads. It will take a certain
amount of planning to insure that we do not exceed the levels set
forth in the permit. Let me know if there is anything else that'
you need with regard to this permit.
