2. The subject wastewater treatment and disposal facilities shall be connected to an operational publicly
owned wastewater collection system within 180 days of its availability to the subject facilities, if the
subject wastewater treatment or disposal facilities are in noncompliance with the terms and conditions
of this non -discharge permit or the governing statues or regulations. Prior to the initiation of these
connection activities, appropriate approval must be received from this Division.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. 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 contravention of groundwater or surface water
standards. 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, 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 ground
or surface waters resulting from the operation of this facility.
All wells that are constructed for purposes of groundwater monitoring shall be constructed in
accordance with 15A NCAC 02C .0108 (Standards of Construction for Wells Other than Water
Supply) and any other state and local laws and regulations pertaining to well construction.
4. Effluent limitations shall not exceed those specified in Attachment A.
Application rate(s), whether hydraulic, nutrient, or other pollutant shall not exceed those specified in
Attachment 13.
6. The compliance boundary for the disposal system is specified by rules in 15A NCAC 02L,
Groundwater Classifications and Standards. This disposal system was individually permitted on or
after December 30, 1983; therefore, the compliance boundary is established at either 250 feet from
the waste disposal area, or 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is closest to the waste
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 well as enforcement
actions in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A through 143-215.6C.
The Permittee shall apply for a permit modification prior to any sale or transfer of property that
affects a compliance boundary to establish a new compliance boundary.
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0107(d), no wells, other than monitoring wells, shall be
constructed within the compliance boundary except as provided by 15A NCAC 02L .0107(g).
9. The review boundary is established around the disposal systems midway between the compliance
boundary and the perimeter of the waste disposal area. Any exceedance of standards at the review
boundary shall require action in accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0106.
10. The facilities permitted herein must be constructed according to the following setbacks:
a. The setbacks for Irrigation sites shall be as follows (all distances in feet):
i. Any habitable residence or place of public assembly under separate ownership
ii. Surface waters:
iii. Any well with exception of monitoring wells:
iv. Any property line:
v. Public right of way:

IV. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Any monitoring (including groundwater, surface water, soil or plant tissue analyses) deemed
necessary by the Division to ensure surface and ground water protection will be established and an
acceptable sampling reporting schedule shall be followed.
2. All laboratory analyses for effluent, ground waters, or surface waters shall be made by a laboratory
certified by the Division for the required parameter(s) under 15A NCAC 02H .0800.
3. Flow through the treatment facility shall be continuously monitored and daily average flow values
shall be reported on Form NDMR. Flow may be estimated from water use records provided water
use is metered. Daily average values shall be calculated by dividing monthly flow volume by the
number of days in the month.
4. The effluent from the subject facilities shall be monitored by the Permittee at the frequency(ies) and
location(s) for the parameter(s) specified in Attachment A.
5. The Permittee tracking the amount of wastewater disposed shall maintain adequate records. These
records shall include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following information:
a. Date of irrigation,
b. Volume of wastewater irrigated,
c. Field irrigated,
d. Length of time field is irrigated,
e. Continuous weekly, monthly, and year-to-date hydraulic (inches/acre) loadings for each field,
f. Continuous monthly and year-to-date loadings for any non -hydraulic parameter specifically
limited in Attachment B for each field,
g. Weather conditions, and
h. Maintenance of cover crops.
6. A record shall be maintained of all residuals removed from this facility. This record shall include the
name of the hauler, permit authorizing the disposal or a letter from a municipality agreeing to accept
the residuals, date the residuals were hauled, and volume of residuals removed.
7. A maintenance log shall be maintained at this facility including but not limited to the following items:
a. Visual observations of the plant and plant site.
b. Record of preventative maintenance (changing of filters, adjusting belt tensions, alarm testing,
diffuser inspections and cleanings, etc.).
c. Date of calibration of flow measurement device.
d. Date and results of power interruption testing on alternate power supply.
8. Monitor wells shall be sampled at the frequencies and for the parameters specified in Attachment C.
All mapping, well construction forms, well abandonment forms, and monitoring data shall refer to the
permit number and the well nomenclature as rovided in Attachment C.
9. Two (2) copies of the results of the sampling and analysis must be received on Form GW-59
(Groundwater Quality Monitoring: Compliance Report Form.), along with attached copies of
laboratory analyses, by the Division of Water Quality, Information Processing Unit, 1617 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 on or before the last working day of the month
following the sampling month. Form GW-59 shall include the number of this permit and the
appropriate well identification number. One Form GW-59a certification form shall be provided for
each set of sampling results submitted.

2. The Permittee or his designee shall inspect the wastewater treatment and disposal 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 least 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 five 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 disposal site or
facility 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

to an enforcement action by the Division in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-

Permittee, a formal permit request must be submitted to the Division on official Division form(s),
documentation from the parties involved, and other supporting materials as may be appropriate. The
approval of this request will be considered on its merits and may or may not be approved. The
Permittee of record shall remain fully responsible for compliance until a permit is issued to the new
owner.
6. The Permittee shall retain a set of approved plans and specifications for the life of the facilities
permitted herein.
7. The Permittee shall maintain this permit until all permitted facilities herein are properly closed or
