Attachment L — Setback Waivers: 1. The existing permit does include a setback waiver which was executed on June 20, 2017. This setback waiver allows for the application of wastewater effluent and the construction of wastewater treatment and storage units up to the property line (reduced from 50 feet to 0 feet). For future applications, pursuant to 15A NCAC 02T .0706(d), please provide a copy of all setback waivers associated with the existing permit. No response is required. B. Compliance Boundary (15A NCAC 02L): A review of our records shows that this facility was modified on August 8, 2003, therefore, the compliance boundary has been delineated in accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0107(b). The compliance boundary is established at a horizontal distance of 250 feet from the waste boundary, or 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is closer to the source. According to the site map submitted with the renewal application and the located setback waiver, there are areas along the waste boundary which are as close as 30 feet to the property line of Parcel 6344-05-19-4326000 owned by the Ocean Bay Villas Homeowner Association. In accordance with the 15A NCAC 02L Groundwater Classifications and Standards rules (hereby referred to as the 02L Rules), a compliance boundary is defined as a boundary around the waste disposal area of a waste disposal system at and beyond which groundwater standards may not be exceeded. The compliance boundary in this case would be located within the waste boundary (because 50 feet within the property boundary is closer to the source), which is not compliant with the 02L Rules. To become compliant, one of the following options is required: a. In accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0107(k), execute an easement or agreement with the neighboring property owner allowing the compliance and review boundaries to be located closer to the property line, which allows the compliance boundary to be located around the waste boundary (i.e., up to the property line). This easement must be filed in the Carteret County Register of Deeds and included a notice of the permit, the permit number, and a description of the type of the permit. b. A minor modification application to remove any sections of the infiltration area that are located within the compliance boundary. This application package shall include a new signed and sealed site map per 15A NCAC 02T .0704(d) depicting the new field boundaries along with the compliance and review boundaries, the new field's area; and calculations showing that the permitted flow of the system does not exceed the maximum annual loading rates on the reduced infiltration area. According to 15A NCAC 02L. 0 113, the Environmental Management Commission (hereby referred to as the EMC) may grant a variance to the 02L Rules. A variance may be granted for the compliance boundary of your system, provided it is still located within land owned by the Permittee. An application package containing all the items in 15A NCAC 02L .0113(c) shall be sent to the chairman of the EMC. If the application is complete, the matter will be sent to a public hearing of the EMC, which will decide on the matter. However, there is no guarantee that the variance will be granted, and either of the first two options shall be required.
