This permit shall be effective from April 1, 2017 until March 31, 2022, shall void Permit No. WQ0002052
issued November 28, 2016, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and limitations:
I. SCHEDULES
I . No later than six months prior to the expiration of this permit, the Permittee shall request renewal of
this permit on official Division forms. Upon receipt of the request, the Division will review the
adequacy of the facilities described therein, and if warranted, will renew the permit for such period of

1. The subject non -discharge facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times so there is
no discharge to surface waters, nor any contravention of groundwater or surface water standards. In
the event the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions due
to improper operation and maintenance, or failure of the irrigation areas to adequately assimilate the
effluent, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective actions including Division required actions, such
as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment or irrigation facilities. [G.S. 143-
215.1, 143-2133(a)]

Attachment B. [15A NCAC 02T .0505(c)]
6. This disposal system was individually permitted prior to December 30, 1983; therefore, the compliance
boundary is established at either 500 feet from the effluent disposal area, or at the property boundary,
whichever is closest to the effluent disposal area. An exceedance of groundwater standards at or beyond
the compliance boundary is subject to remediation action according to 15A NCAC 02L .0106(d)(2) as

review boundary shall require action in accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0106. [15A NCAC 02L
.0 106, 02L .0108]
8. The Permittee shall apply for a permit modification to establish a new compliance boundary prior to

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 April only, analyze by one of the following methods:
a_ Standard Method 6230D, PQL at 0.5 gg/L or less
b. Standard Method 6210D, PQL at 0.5 gg/L or less
c. EPA Method 8021, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 pg/J- or less
d. EPA Method 8260, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 gg/L or less
e. Another method with prior approval by the Water Quality Permitting Section Chief
Any method used must meet the following qualifications:
a_ A laboratory must be DWR certified to run any method used.
b. The method used must, at a minimum, include all the constituents listed in Table VIII of Standard Method 6230D.
C. The method used must provide a PQL of 0.5 gg/L or less that must be supported by laboratory proficiency studies as required by DWR. Any constituents detected above the MDL but below
the PQL of 0.5 µg/L must 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 Asheville Regional Office, telephone number (828) 296-4500, must be
contacted immediately for further instructions regarding any additional follow-up analyses required.
6. Monitoring wells shall be reported consistent with the nomenclature and location information provided in Figure 2 and this attachment.
