Mountaire Farms — Lumber
Bridge WWTF
Wastewater Irrigation System
Robeson County
Dear Mr. Plylar:
In accordance with your permit renewal request received on October 18, 2022, and subsequent
additional information received on February 3, 2023, we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0000484
dated May 2, 2023, to Mountaire Farms of North Carolina Corp. for the continued operation of the subject
wastewater treatment and irrigation facilities.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance through September 30, 2030, shall replace
Permit No. WQ0000484 issued on September 11, 2019, and shall be subject to the conditions and
limitations therein. The Permittee shall submit a renewal application no later than April 3, 2030.
Please pay attention to the monitoring requirements listed in 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 condition since the last permit issuance dated
September 11, 2019:
➢ Old Condition I.I. —This compliance schedule has been completed.
The following permit conditions and attachments are new or modified since the last permit
issuance dated September 11, 2019:
➢ Condition I.1. — This condition requires that the Permittee submit an engineering certification
upon completion of construction and prior to operation of Fields D and E.
➢ Condition I.2. — This condition requires that the Permittee contact the Fayetteville Regional
Office at least 48 hours prior to the operation of Fields D and E so that an inspection may be
made.
➢ Condition I.3. — Within 120 days of the effective date of this permit, two surface water
monitoring stations (one upstream and one downstream) shall be installed on Big Marsh
Swamp (Stream Index No. 14-22-2). See the permit for more information.

➢ Condition I.4. - Within 30 days of completing the installation of the surface water monitoring
stations, the Permittee shall submit one digital copy of a site map. See the permit for more
information.
➢ Condition I.S. — Within 60 days of the effective date of this permit, monitoring well MW-56
shall be temporarily abandoned by securing the wellhead to prevent access. See the permit for
more information.
➢ Condition II.6. — The Division has added this condition after a review of the permit history and
additional information received on February 3, 2023. Wastewater irrigation fields (A, B, C, F,
and G) permitted prior to December 30, 1983, have a compliance boundary that is either 500
feet from the wastewater irrigation area or at the property boundary, whichever is closest to the
wastewater irrigation area. See the permit for more information.
➢ Condition II.12. — The Division has modified the setbacks in Old Condition II.11. to correspond
to the time of the original permitting or the most recent major modification for each irrigation
site and storage/treatment unit.
➢ Condition IV.7. — The Division has modified Old Condition IV.7. to include requirements for
NDMLR data because Attachment B has PAN loading requirements. See the permit for more
information.
➢ Condition IV.10. — The Division has modified Old Condition IV.10. to add the monitoring
wells that were incorrectly marked as inactive per the additional information received on
February 3, 2023.
➢ Attachment A — The Division has modified PPI 005 for SW-1 to expand the monitoring
parameters. The Division has added PPI 006 and PPI 007 for the proposed surface water
monitoring stations (SW-2 and SW-3) with the same expanded parameters as PPI 005.
➢ Attachment B — The Division has added Footnote 2 concerning PAN reporting requirements.
➢ Attachment C — The Division has added the monitoring wells that were incorrectly marked as
inactive per the additional information received on February 3, 2023. The Division has
removed MW-56 from the list of monitoring wells and removed Footnote 8 concerning the
temporary abandonment of MW-56.
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
Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings at 6714 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-6714. Otherwise, this permit shall be final and binding.

1. 3 x Year monitoring shall be conducted in April, August, and December; Annual monitoring shall be conducted in December.
2. The measurement of water levels shall be made prior to purging the wells. The depth to water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on the top of the casing. The measurement of
pH shall be made after purging and prior to sampling for the remaining parameters.
3. 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. The measuring points (top of
casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed relative to a common datum.
4. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) - In December only, analyze by one of the following methods:
a. Standard Method 6230D, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
b. Standard Method 621OD, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
c. EPA Method 8021, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
d. EPA Method 8260, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
e. Another method with prior approval by the Water Quality Permitting Section Chief
Any method used shall meet the following qualifications:
a. A laboratory shall be DWR certified to run any method used.
b. The method used shall include all the constituents listed in Table VIII of Standard Method 6230D.
c. The method used shall provide a PQL of 0.5 µg/L or less that shall be supported by laboratory proficiency studies as required by the DWR Laboratory Certification Unit. Any constituents
detected above the MDL but below the PQL of 0.5 µg/L shall be qualified (estimated) and reported.
5. If any volatile organic compounds (VOC) are detected as a result of monitoring as provided in Attachment C, then the Fayetteville Regional Office supervisor, telephone number (910) 433-3300,
shall be contacted immediately for further instructions regarding any additional follow-up analyses required.
6. If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/L are detected in any downgradient monitoring well, additional sampling and analysis shall 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.
7. Monitoring wells shall be reported consistent with the nomenclature and location information provided in Figure 1 and this attachment.
