Utilization, and High -Rate
Infiltration System
Currituck County
Dear Mr. Blizzard,
In response to your permit renewal request received on December 20, 2023, we are forwarding
herewith Permit No. WQ0004823 dated DATE O� to Pine Island-Currituck LLC for the
continued operation of the subject reclaimed water generation, dedicated reclaimed water utilization, and
high -rate infiltration facilities.
Mr. Robert Tankard, the Assistant Regional Supervisor for the Washington Regional Office
(WaRO), completed a site visit on January 18, 2024. During his site visit, he collected a grab sample from
the reclaimed water storage pond (RWSP), which generated laboratory results of 21.9 mg/L for Total
Nitrate (as N). This exceeds the current groundwater standard of 10 mg/L for Total Nitrate (as N) per 15A
NCAC 02L .0202. Because of the elevated Total Nitrate (as N) concentration in the RWSP, the WaRO has
concerns that the existing reclaimed water generation system cannot adequately denitrify the wastewater
influent and may result in the exceedance of groundwater standards beyond the property line. They have
requested that the Permittee install a monitoring well between the RWSP boundary and the property line L Commented [BRI]: Is there exact location? shonla we send

Commented [m52R1]: Rolf & I discussed after my dialog with
Modifications to the subject permit are as follows: Tankard, that it is likely best to leave this alone. Tankard has stated
that the well would go between the pond and Hunt Club Drive, not
the adjoining residence property.
➢ The Division has added Condition I.1, which requires the Permittee to submit a �eport
evaluating the nutrient transport potential from the facility's reclaimed water effluent to the
groundwater via the infiltration sites for a minimum 24-month period. �f the report shows the
exceedance of groundwater standards at or beyond the review boundary for any of the
infiltration sites, the Permittee shall include a corrective action plan per 15A NCAC 02L .0106
detailing how onsite and offsite groundwater remediation will be achieved.
➢ The Division has added Conditions I.2, L3, I.4, and IV.12 for the installation of MW-18 and
updated Attachment C accordingly.

Commented rBR31: Do you know how to do this? Model?
Commented [ms4R3]: We do have the capability to do this.
We will want to establish who will do this before sampling
commences so that appropriate parameters are collected. In
discussing with Warren (Quible), he did also inquire whether the
pond had been checked for sludge; possible that regular maintenance
has removed sludge from pond? Who samples the wells now,
Atlantic OBX? Will want to establish/confinn groundwater flow

Commented [ms27]: Please confirm that this is not materially
different from the way of current W WTP operations and
expectations. To be transparent, the W WTP discharges treated
effluent to the reclaimed water storage pond, and the Golf Course
maintains control over the spray irrigation system. To that point, the
W WTP does not exercise control over the Golf Course regarding
timing or operations of its irrigation facilities. The Permittee is
hoping to confirm that this operations setup may continue.

11. For high -rate infiltration sites, the Division has established the review boundary midway between the
compliance boundary and the infiltration area boundary. Any exceedance of groundwater standards at
or beyond the review boundary shall require the Permittee to take preventative action. [15A NCAC
02L .0106(d), 02L .01081
12. For reclaimed water irrigation fields permitted prior to September 1, 2006, the Division has established
the compliance and review boundaries at the property boundary. Any exceedance of groundwater
standards at or beyond the compliance boundary shall require the Permittee to take corrective action.
The Division shall note any Division -approved relocation of the compliance boundary in Attachment
B. The Division shall consider multiple contiguous properties under common ownership and permitted
for use as a disposal system as a single property regarding the determination of a compliance boundary.

1. The Permittee shall conduct 3 x Year monitoring in March, July, and November, 4 x Year monitoring (for MW-18) in March, June, September, and December, and Annual monitoring in November.
2. The Permittee shall measure the water levels prior to purging the wells. The Permittee shall measure the depth to water in each well from the surveyed point on the top of the casing. The Permittee
shall measure pH after purging and prior to sampling for the remaining parameters.
3. The Permittee shall survey the measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells to provide the relative elevation of the measuring point for each monitoring well. The Permittee shall
survey the measuring points (top of casing) of all monitoring wells relative to a common datum.
4. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) — Analyze by one or more of the following methods:
a. Standard Method 6200 B-2011, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
b. Standard Method 6200 C-2011, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
C. SW-846 Method 8021 B, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
d. SW-846 Method 8260 D, 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 Division -certified laboratory shall run any method used.
b. The method used shall include all the constituents listed in Table 6200:I of Standard Methods.
C. The method used shall provide a PQL of 0.5 µg/L or less supported by laboratory proficiency studies as required by the Division's Laboratory Certification Branch. A Division -certified
laboratory shall qualify (estimate) and report any constituents detected above the MDL but below the PQL of 0.5 µg/L.
5. If monitoring detects any volatile organic compounds (VOC), then the Permittee shall immediately contact the Washington Regional Office supervisor, telephone number (252) 946-6481, for

Permit Number: WQ0004823 Version: 5.0
If monitoring detects TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/L in any downgradient monitoring well, the Permittee shall conduct additional sampling and analysis 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 shall represent the naturally occurring
TOC concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring TOC concentration in the downgradient wells are subject to additional sampling and analysis as described above.
7. The Permittee shall report monitoring well data on Compliance Monitoring Forms (GW-59s) consistent with the nomenclature and location information provided in this attachment.
