Subject: Permit No. WQ0035809
Stateside WWTP
High -Rate Infiltration System
Onslow County
In accordance with your permit renewal request received July 18, 2022, and subsequent additional
information received November 17, 2022, we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0035809 dated
January 30, 2023, to Old North State Water Company for the construction and operation of high -rate
infiltration Basins 1 and 2, as well as the continued operation of the existing wastewater treatment and high -
rate infiltration facilities.
The following modifications to the subject permit are as follows: The loading rates for high -rate
infiltration Basins 3, 4, and 5 have been adjusted based on the Hydrogeologic Certifications performed by
Edwin Andrews. Basin 93 is certified for 108,900 gallons per day (GPD) or 3.01 GPD per square foot
(GPD/ft), Basin 4 is certified for 75,000 GPD or 3.37 GPD/ W, and Basin 5 is certified for 50,000 GPD or
2.67 GPD/ft2.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance through March 31, 2030, shall replace
Permit No. WQ0035809 issued March 1, 2017, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations therein.
The Permittee shall submit a renewal application no later than October 2, 2029.
Please pay attention to the monitoring requirements listed Attachments A, B, and C 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.
The Division has removed the following permit conditions since the last permit issuance dated
March 1, 2017:
➢ Old Condition I. I. — This condition has been removed because a setback waiver has been
received.
➢ Old Condition L2. — This condition has been removed because an O&M Plan was received.
➢ Old Condition L3. — This condition has been removed because a residuals management plan
has been received.
➢ Old Condition L6. — This condition has been removed because two basins have been
constructed in accordance with O&M requirements.
