amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
Lakewood Truckers Paradise, Inc.
Halifax County
1110310106111
continued operation of a 15,000 gallon per day (GPD) surface irrigation treatment and disposal facility
consisting of a 1200 gallon oil/water separator, a 12,000 gallon aeration basin, an approximate 920,000
gallon capacity lagoon, a 4,000 gallon chlorine contact chamber (with a chamber housing a
hypochlorinator tank with a metering pump), an irrigation pump tank with a 154 GPM pump and high
water alarm, a 376,750 square foot zoned irrigation held, and all associated piping, valves, controls,
meters, and appurtenances to serve Lakewood Truckers Paradise, Inc., with no discharge of wastes to the
surface waters, pursuant to the application received April 8, 2004, and subsequent additional information
received by the Division, and in conformity with the project plan, specifications, and other supporting
data subsequently filed and approved by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and
considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2010, shall void Permit
No. WQ0002332 issued April 9, 1999, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and
limitations -
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The surface 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 ground waters, 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, 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
or groundwaters resulting from the operation of this facility.
3. The residuals generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed in accordance with General
Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the Division.
4. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is prohibited.

5. The following buffers shall be maintained:
a) 400 feet between wetted area and any residence or places of public assembly under separate
ownership,
b) 150 feet between wetted area and property lines,
c) 100 feet between wetted area and wells,
d) 100 feet between wetted area and drainage ways or surface water bodies,
e) 50 feet between wetted area and public right of ways,
f) 100 feet between treatment/storage units and any wells, and
g) 50 feet between treatment units and property lines.
Some of the buffers specified above may not have been included in previous permits for this waste
treatment and disposal system. These buffers are not intended to prohibit or prevent modifications,
which are required by the Division, to improve performance of the existing treatment facility. These
buffers do, however, apply to modifications of the treatment and disposal facilities that are for the
purpose of increasing the flow that is tributary to the facility. These buffers do apply to any
expansion or modification of the irrigation areas and apply in instances in which the sale of property
would cause any of the buffers now complied with, for the treatment and disposal facilities, to be
violated. The applicant is advised that any modifications to the existing facilities will require a permit
modification.
II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. Upon classification of the wastewater treatment and irrigation facilities by the Water Pollution
Control System Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC), the Permittee shall designate and

be back-up ORC(s) of the facilities in accordance with 15A NCAC 8G .0201. The ORC shall visit
the facilities in accordance with 15A NCAC 8G .0204 or as specified in this permit and shall comply
with all other conditions specified in these rules.
3. A suitable year round vegetative cover shall be maintained.
4. Irrigation shall not be performed during inclement weather or when the ground is in a condition that
will cause runoff.
5. Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent wastewater runoff from the irrigation field.
6. The facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent the
discharge of any wastewater resulting from the operation of this facility.
7. The application rate shall not exceed a cumulative loading of 91 inches over any twelve (12) month
period at an instantaneous application rate not to allow runoff or disruptions of the suitable vegetative
cover.
S. No type of wastewater other than that from Lakewood Truckers Paradise, Inc. shall be irrigated onto
the irrigation area.
9. No traffic or equipment shall be allowed on the disposal area except while installation occurs or while
normal maintenance is being performed.

may include the posting of signs showing the activities being conducted at each site.
11. Freeboard in the storage lagoon shall not be less than two feet at any time

12. A protective vegetative cover shall be established and maintained on all earthen basin embankments
(outside toe of embankment to maximum pumping elevation), berms, pipe runs, erosion control areas,
and surface water diversions. Trees, shrubs, and other woody vegetation shall not be allowed to grow
on the earthen basin dikes or embankments. Earthen basin embankment areas shall be kept mowed or
otherwise controlled and accessible.

IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
SamplinL, Criteria:
a. Monitor wells MW -1, MW -2, and MW -3 shall be sampled every February, June and September for the

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
down -gradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling and analysis as described above.
c. Any laboratory selected to analyze parameters must be Division of Water Quality (DWQ) certified for
those parameters required.

land application site is established at either 250 feet from the residuals land application area or 50 feet
within the property boundary, whichever is closest to the residuals land application area. An exceedancc
of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to immediate
remediation action according to 15A NCAC 2L.0106 (d)(2).
b. The REVIEW BOUNDARY shall be established around each land application site midway between the
Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the residuals land application area. Any exceedance of
