permit).
This permit shall be effective from November 1, 2021 through July 31, 2027, shall void Permit No.
WQ0000731 issued May 24, 2016, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations therein. The
Permittee shall submit a renewal application no later than February 1, 2027.
Please pay attention to the monitoring requirements listed in Attachment A for they may differ from
the previous permit issuance. Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting and maintaining the

The Division has removed the following permit conditions since the last permit issuance
dated May 24, 2016:
Old Condition I.1. This requirement has been satisfied.
Old Condition VI.2. This condition has been removed because the permit is not voidable.
The following permit conditions are new since the last permit issuance dated May 24, 2016:
Condition I.1. This condition requires that the Permittee submit a permit modification prior
to November 1, 2022. This modification shall address the fact that the existing 39,789 gallon
five-day upset pond is insufficiently sized for a 20,000 gallon per day (GPD) facility.
Condition II.12. The requirement for minimum separation distance between reclaimed water
lines and wells has been changed from 100 feet to 50 feet.

I. SCHEDULES
1. Prior to November 1, 2022, the Permittee shall submit a permit modification application to address the
requirements in 15A NCAC 02U .0402(d), which reads, Effluent from the treatment facility shall be
discharged to a five-day side-stream detention unit if either the turbidity exceeds 10 NTUs or if the
permitted pathogen levels cannot be met. The facility shall have the ability to return the effluent in the
five-day side-stream detention unit back to the head of the treatment facility. Based upon the facilitys
permitted flow of 20,000 GPD, the five-day upset pond is required to have a volume of 100,000 gallons;
however, the existing five-day upset pond has a volume of 39,789 gallons.
The permit modification shall consist of one, or a combination thereof, the following three options:
a. Provide plans, specifications, calculations sealed by a North Carolina licensed Professional
Engineer to expand the existing 5-day upset volume to 100,000 gallons.
b. Reduce the permitted flow to 7,958 GPD.
c. Submit an Alternative Design Criteria request pursuant to 15A NCAC 02U .0105(n) demonstrating
that the existing 39,789 gallon five-day upset pond is adequately sized for the facility, and verifying
that the existing five-day upset pond at the permitted flow rate of 20,000 GPD provides:
i. Equal or better treatment of the waste;
ii. Equal or better protection of the waters of the state; and
iii. No increased potential for nuisance conditions from noise, odor, or vermin.
