Ross Jr., Secretary Kerr T. Stevens, Director April 11, 2001 MR. EDGAR EARL GATLIN, OWNER GATLIN-RAMSEY MOBILE HOME PARK 145 HUBERT BOULEVARD HUBERT, NORTH CAROLINA 28539 Dear Mr. Gatlin: 1 Tk?*IT • NCDENR ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES Subject: Permit No. WQ0002056 Gatlin -Ramsey Mobile Home Park Wastewater Spray Irrigation System Onslow County In accordance with your application received on May 30, 2000, we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0002056, dated April 11, 2001, to Gatlin -Ramsey Mobile Home Park for the continued operation of the subject wastewater treatment and spray irrigation facilities. 1. This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until March 31, 2006; shall void Permit No. WQ0002056, issued February 6, 1996; and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein. This permit approves the continued operation of the subject wastewater treatment and spray irrigation facilities for another five-year cycle. However, please take the time to review this permit thoroughly as some of the conditions contained therein may have changed since the last issuance of this permit. Of special interest are the following amended conditions: ♦ Condition 11. 2.: This condition has been amended to reflect the adoption of new rules by the Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC). The referenced regulation is now 15A NCAC 8G .0202. ♦ Condition H. 3.: This condition has been amended to reflect that a suitable vegetative cover needs to be maintained on the spray irrigation areas year round. The Division of Water Quality (Division) understands that the Permittee has had a difficult time establishing a green ash plantation because of damage caused by deer. Therefore, the Permittee is encouraged to seek advise from a professional with expertise in agriculture or silviculture for recommendations regarding cover crop selection, establishment, and management practices. Please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Jim Bushardt of the Division's Wilmington Regional Office at telephone number (910) 395-3900 or Mr. Brian L. Wrenn of the Division's Non -Discharge Compliance and Enforcement Unit at telephone number (919) 733- 5083, extension 529, for additional assistance in complying with this condition. ♦ Condition 11. 9.: This condition has been amended to remind the Permittee that the Division considers activities such as discing and mowing between tree rows to be normal maintenance and is allowed on the spray irrigation areas. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone (919) 733-5083 Fax (919) 733-0719 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recyaled/10% post -consumer paper ♦ Condition III. 2.: This is a new condition that is required in all permits issued to non -discharge wastewater treatment and disposal systems in the State of North Carolina. Specifically, this condition details the requirements for complying with the influent flow measuring policy adopted by the Division on May 31, 2000. Within one year of this permit's issuance, a flow measurement device must be installed to measure influent wastewater flow that is tributary to the permitted facilities. Following installation of this device, daily influent flow volumes must be reported on Form NDMR-1 such that this form would be submitted on a monthly basis. ♦ Condition III. 5.: It is now Division policy to require a standard soil fertility analysis to be performed on a representative soil sample taken from the spray irrigation field. Records of these sampling events and results of the analyses must be kept on file by the Pernvttee. Note that the Agronomic Division of the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services offers free soil testing to all North Carolina residents. See this agency's web site at www.ncagri.comlagrononu or telephone (919) 733-2655 for more information about these services. ♦ Condition III. 6.: Because of the Division's influent wastewater flow measurement policy, Form NDMR-1 must now be submitted on a monthly basis (i.e., following installation of the new influent flow measurement device). Note also that this condition has been modified to reflect the new mailing address to be used when submitting Form NDAR-I and NDMR-1. ♦ Condition III. 7.: Events of non-compliance must now be submitted to the Division in written form within five days (i.e., reduced from 15 days) of the event's occurrence. ♦ Condition IV. L: This condition requires that two new groundwater monitoring wells, designated as MW-6 and MW-7, be constructed at the review boundary within 90 days of this permit's issuance. The Groundwater Section is requiring this action because the four existing groundwater monitoring wells have been constructed such that the well screens are between 20 and 25 feet below the land surface. The actual water table at the site is found at a depth of less than five feet. Because the screen depth of the existing groundwater monitoring well is excessive, the groundwater sampling results gathered to date may not be representative of groundwater quality conditions in the shallow aquifer. The installation and monitoring of MW-6 and MW-7 will allow the Groundwater Section to compare their sampling results with those from the four existing groundwater monitoring wells. If the sampling results between the existing and new groundwater monitoring wells do not differ significantly, the Groundwater Section of the Wilmington Regional Office may recommend that the existing wells be removed from the groundwater monitoring well program. ♦ Condition IV. 2. through Condition IV. 6.: The conditions contain specific requirements and details related to the location, construction, certification, mapping, and initial sampling of MW-10. ♦ Condition IV. 7.: Note that MW-6 and MW-7 must be incorporated into the triannual groundwater sampling program already established for the four existing groundwater monitoring wells. Note also that Total Phosphorus must now be monitored (i.e., in lieu of Orthophosphate) in the groundwater and that additional analytical methods for Volatile Organic Compounds are now available for use. This condition has also been amended to reflect the new mailing address to use when sending in groundwater quality monitoring reports. ♦ Condition IV. 8.: A typographical error has been corrected in this condition. Specifically, the previous issuance of this permit stated that the wastewater treatment and spray irrigation facilities were permitted prior to December 31, 1983 when, in fact, the facilities were permitted after this date. Note, however, that the compliance and review boundary distances have remained unchanged. ♦ Condition VI. 3.: This condition has been amended to reflect the fact that an application fee is no longer required when making an application to the Division to transfer this permit to a new owner or to reissue this permit such that it reflects a name change of the Permittee. ♦ Condition VI. 5.: Language has been added to this condition to provide examples of some other rules and regulations that may affect non -discharge systems like this one. As always, pay particular attention to the monitoring requirements in this permit. Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required operational information will result in future compliance problems. If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within 30 days following receipt of this permit. This request must 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, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699- 6700. Unless such demands are made, this permit shall be final and binding, .If you need additional information concerning this matter, please contact Ms. Shannon Mohr Thornburg at (919) 733-5083, extension 353. /1 S .p KerrT.

GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS Within 90 days of this permit's issuance, two additional groundwater monitoring wells (i.e., designated as MW-6 and MW-7) shall be installed to monitor groundwater quality. The well shall be constructed such that the water level in the well is never above or below the screened (i.e., open) portion of the well at any time during the year. The general location and name for this well is marked on Figure 2 of this permit. The groundwater monitoring well shall be located at the review boundary, constructed in accordance with this permit, and approved by the Groundwater Section of the Wilmington Regional Office. 2. All wells that are constructed for the purpose of groundwater monitoring shall be constructed in accordance with 15A NCAC 2C .0108 (i.e., "Standards of Construction for Wells Other than Water Supply") and any other state and local laws and regulations pertaining to well construction. 3. The Wilmington Regional Office, telephone number (910) 395-3900, shall be notified at least 48 hours prior to the construction of any groundwater monitoring well, so that an inspection can be made of the well location. Such notification shall be made to the Regional Groundwater Supervisor during normal office hours (i.e., from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.) on Monday through Friday, excluding State Holidays. 4. Within 30 days of completion of all well construction activities, a certification shall be received from a North Carolina -licensed Professional Engineer or North Carolina -licensed Professional Geologist certifying that the groundwater monitoring wells are located and constructed in accordance with 15A NCAC 2C (i.e., "Well Construction Standards") and this permit. This certification shall be submitted with one copy of a GW-1 Form, (i.e., "Well.. Completion Form") for each well. Mail this certification and the associated GW-1 Forms to NCDENR-DWQ, Groundwater Section, Permits and Compliance Unit, 1636 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1636. 5. Within 60 days of groundwater monitoring well installation, the Permittee shall submit two original copies of a scaled topographic map (i.e., with a scale no greater than one inch equals 100 feet) that has been signed and sealed by a North Carolina -licensed Professional Engineer or a North Carolina - licensed Professional Land Surveyor and contains all of the following information: a. Location of all property boundaries, b. Location of all components of the waste disposal system, c. Location and identity of each groundwater monitoring well, d. Latitude and longitude of the established horizontal monument, e. Relative elevation of the top of the casing for each groundwater monitoring well (i.e., known as the measuring point"), and f. Depth of water below the measuring point at the time the measuring point is established. This survey shall be conducted using approved practices as outlines in the North Carolina General Statutes Chapter 89C and the North Carolina Administrative Code Title 21, Chapter 56. The surveyor shall establish a horizontal control monument on the property of the disposal system and determine the latitude and longitude of this horizontal control monument to a horizontal positional accuracy of +/-10 feet. All other features listed above shall be surveyed relative to this horizontal control monument. The positional accuracy of these features shall have a ratio of precision not to exceed an error of closure of one foot per 10,000 feet of perimeter of the survey. Any features located by the radial method shall be located from a minimum of two points. Horizontal control monuments shall be installed in such a manner and made of such materials that the monument will not be destroyed due to activities that may take place on the property. The map shall also be surveyed using the North American Datum of 1983 (NAD 83) coordinate system and shall indicate the datum on the map. All bearings or azimuths shall be based on either the true or N.A_D 83 grid meridian. If a Global Positioning System (GPS) is used to determine the latitude and longitude of the horizontal control monument, a GPS receiver that has the capability to perform differential GPS shall be used and all data collected by the GPS receiver shall be differentially corrected. The map and any supporting documentation shall be sent to NCDENR-DWQ, Groundwater Section, Permits and Compliance Unit, 1636 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1636. 6. For the initial sampling of the new groundwater monitoring wells as specified elsewhere in this permit, the Permittee shall submit a copy of the GW-1 Form with the GW-59 Form (i.e., "Compliance Monitoring Form") for that well. GW-59 Forms for groundwater monitoring wells that have not had a GW-1 Form previously submitted shall be returned to the Permittee without being processed. Failure to submit these forms as required by this permit may result in the initiation of enforcement actions pursuant to North Carolina General Statute §143-215.6. 7. The two new groundwater monitoring wells (i.e., MW-6 and MW-7) shall be sampled initially after construction and thereafter along with existing groundwater monitoring wells (i.e., MW-2, MW-3, MW-4, and MW-5) shall be sampled every February, June, and September for the following parameters: Ammonia -Nitrogen (NH3-N) Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) Chlorides Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Fecal Colifortn Total Phosphorus Nitrate -Nitrogen (NO3-N) Water Level pH Volatile Organic Compounds — In September only using one of the following methods: (A) Standard Method 6230D (PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less), (B) Standard Method 6210D (PQL at 0.5 l.tg/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), or (E) Another method with prior approval by the Groundwater Section Chief. Any method used shall meet the following qualifications: (1) The laboratory shall be Division certified to run any method used. (2) The method used shall, at a minimum, include all the constituents listed in Table VIII of Standard Method 6230D. Col (3) The method used shall provided a PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less, which shall be supported by laboratory proficiency studies as required by the Division's Laboratory Certification Unit. Any constituents detected above the MDL, but below the PQL at 0.5 µg/L, shall be qualified (estimated) and reported. After a full year of groundwater monitoring (i.e., three consecutive sampling events), the results from all six groundwater monitoring wells shall be compared to assess differences in groundwater quality between the four deep -screened groundwater monitoring wells and the two new ones with shallow screens. If significant differences are found between the groundwater quality of the deep - screened wells and the shallow -screened wells, the four deep -screened groundwater monitoring wells may, at the discretion of the Groundwater Section of the Wilmington Regional Office, be removed from the groundwater monitoring program. In addition, the frequency of sampling the groundwater monitoring wells may also be decreased at the discretion of the Groundwater Section of the Wilmington Regional Office. The wellheads of any wells removed from the groundwater monitoring program shall be secured to discourage unauthorized entry. The measurement of water levels shall be made prior to sampling for the remaining parameters. The depth of water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed ,point on the top of the casing. The measuring points of all groundwater monitoring wells (i.e., at the top of well casing) shall be surveyed to provide the relative elevation of the measuring point for each groundwater monitoring well. If total organic carbon concentrations greater than 10 milligrams per liter are detected in any downgradient monitoring well, additional sampling and analysis shall be conducted to identify the individual constituents comprising this total organic carbon concentration. If the total organic carbon concentration as measured in the background groundwater monitoring well exceeds 10 milligrams per liter, the concentration shall be taken to represent the naturally -occurring total organic carbon concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally -occurring total organic carbon concentration in the downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling and analysis as described above. If any volatile organic compounds are detected by any of the methods Iisted, then the Wilmington Regional Office Groundwater Supervisor, telephone number (910) 395-3900, shall be contacted immediately for further instructions regarding any additional follow-up analyses required. The results of all initial and follow-up analyses shall be submitted simultaneously. The results of the groundwater monitoring well sampling and analyses shall be received on Form GW-59 (i.e., "Groundwater Quality Monitoring: Compliance Report Form") by NCDENR-DWQ, Groundwater Section, Permits and Compliance Unit, 1636 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 on or before the last working day of the month following the sampling month. 8. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for the disposal system shall be specified by regulations in 15A NCAC 2L (i.e., "Groundwater Classifications and Standards"). The Compliance Boundary for disposal systems individually permitted after December 31, 1983 shall be established at either (1) 250 feet from the disposal area or (2) 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is closest to the disposal area. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary shall be subject to immediate remediation action in addition to the penalty provisions applicable under North Carolina General Statute §143-215.6A(a)(1). In accordance with 15A NCAC 2L, a REVIEW BOUNDARY shall be established around the disposal system midway between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the disposal area. Any exceedance of standards at the Review Boundary shall require remediation action on the part of the permittee. 7 Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division. shall be provided. V. INSPECTIONS Adequate inspection, maintenance, and cleaning shall be provided by the Permittee to ensure proper operation of the wastewater treatment and spray irrigation facilities. 2. The Permittee or his designee shall inspect the wastewater treatment and spray irrigation facilities to prevent malfunctions and deterioration; operator errors; and discharges which may cause or lead to the release of wastes to the environment, a threat to human health, or a nuisance. The Permittee shall keep an inspection log or summary including at Ieast the date and time of inspection; observations made; and any maintenance, repairs, or corrective actions taken by the Permittee. This log of inspections shall be maintained by the Permittee for a period of three years from the date of the inspection and shall be made available upon request to the Division or other permitting authority. 3. Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the Division may, upon presentation of credentials, enter and inspect any property, premises, or place on or related to the wastewater treatment and spray irrigation facilities at any reasonable time for the purpose of determining compliance with this permit; may inspect or copy any records that must be maintained under the terms and conditions of this permit; and may obtain samples of groundwater, surface water, or leachate. VI. GENERAL CONDITIONS This permit shall become voidable unless the wastewater treatment and spray irrigation facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions of this permit, the approved plans and specifications, and other supporting data. 2. This permit shall be effective only with respect to the nature and volume of wastes described in the application and other supporting data. 3. This permit shall not be transferable. 1n the event there is a desire for the wastewater treatment and spray irrigation facilities to change ownership, or there is a name change of the Permittee, a formal permit modification request shall be submitted to the Division accompanied by documentation from the parties involved and other supporting materials as may be appropriate. The approval of this request shall be considered on its merits and may or may not be approved. 4. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this permit may subject the Pam-ittee to an enforcement action by the Division in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes § 143- 215.6A through § 143-215.6C. 5.
