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.

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

I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The wastewater treatment and spray irrigation facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated
at all times so that there is no discharge to the surface waters, nor any contamination of
groundwater, which will render them unsatisfactory for normal use. In the event that the facilities
fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions or failure of the irrigation
area to adequately assimilate the wastewater, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective actions
including those actions that may be required by the Division of Water Quality (Division), such as
the construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment and disposal facilities.
2. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages to
surface waters or groundwater resulting from the operation of the wastewater treatment and spray
irrigation facilities.
3. The residuals generated from the wastewater treatment facility shall be disposed in accordance with
North Carolina General Statute § 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the Division.
4. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the wastewater treatment and spray
irrigation facilities shall be prohibited.
5. The following buffers shall be maintained:
a. 400 feet between wetted areas and any residence or places of public assembly under separate
ownership,
b. 150 feet between wetted areas and property lines,

IV. 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

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.
