Subject: Permit No. WQ0002520
Town of Bath
Wastewater Surface Irrigation
Beaufort County
Dear Mr, Carson::
In accordance with your request for permit modification received August 24, 1999 and a request for
permit renewal received July 17, 2001, and subsequent additional information received March 14, 2001; March
19, 2001; July 17, 2002; August 1, 2002; September 27, 2002; April 14, 2003; and July 30, 2003; we are
forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0002520, dated October 10, 2003, to the Town of Bath for the operation of
subject wastewater treatment and surface irrigation facilities.
This permit approves the continued operation of the wastewater surface irrigation program at a previously
permitted flow from 0.022 MGD for another five-year cycle. However, your request to increase the permitted
flow from 0.022 MGD to 0.040 MGD is not approved at this time because of the following concerns the Division
has with this program:
1. Permitting and Compliance History: This facility was originally permitted for a 0.040 MGD non-
discharge/spray irrigation facility on a 6.0-acre irrigation area with a maximum, application rate of
1.75 inches/acre/week. Even though the site never received full permitted flow, there were numerous
problems, mainly related to ponding, runoff, and storage, with the spray site. The Town of Bath
subsequently acquired additional 7.1 acres of land and was issued a revised permit for 0.022 MGD
with a maximum application rate of 0.6 inches/acre/week on September 30, 1996.
The addition of land and revised application rate did not improve the site conditions. The Town was
put under an SOC in 1998 and agreed to expand its storage capabilities among other things. On
September 25, 1998, the town was issued a modified permit to add a 2,850,000-gallon storage lagoon
as well as to expand the spray field to 11.3 acres. The permit kept the total disposal capacity after
these modifications at 0.022 MGD with 0.40 inches/acre/week maximum application rate.
Despite all these improvements, various problems related to management and site conditions
remained. The cover crop of Wax Myrtle and Cypress on the sprayfield appeared to be failing. The
Town was eventually issued a Notice of Violations on August 1, 2001 by the Division's Washington
Regional Office.

2. Site Conditions: During the course of the permit review, the Town was asked, through various
additional information letters, to address the problems related to soil and site conditions. Specific
problems cited were the emergence of volunteer wetland species and presence of ponded water. A
voluntary emergence of wetland species is normally a result of prolonged soil wetness due to poor
soil conditions and inadequate management of the irrigation system. Such conditions exist even at the
current application rate (less than 0.022 MGD) and would definitely need to be addressed prior to
considering the site for an increase in capacity to 0.040 MGD. No remedial actions to alleviate these
conditions were offered in the letters received from the Wooten Company, Town's consultant for this
permit. The Division, therefore, considers the existing site to be failing given current conditions.
3. Evapotranspiration and Water Balance: The evapotranspiration data given in the soil scientist's
report range from 36.25 to 79.2 inches per year. The Town used the highest value (79.2 inches) to
derive the water balance for this site. It was not clear how the soil scientist arrived at such a range of
evapotranspiration for the specific crops and soil conditions. Most references in the scientific
literature place the maximum annual evapotranspiration for the subject area at less than 43 inches.
The Town was requested to provide specific references and copy of the documentation from where
these data were derived. However, no specific information was provided to address this issue.
4. Pumping Test for Mounding Analysis: A pumping test was performed to evaluate the hydraulic
characteristics of the shallow aquifer beneath the sprayfield and furnish information for a simulation
of groundwater mounding caused by the spray activities. The test was started at a pumping rate of
0.25 GPM and ended at a pumping rate of 0.10 GPM. It is not clear which of these rates (or perhaps
some average of the two) was used in the analysis, and it is apparent that the flow rate was not
adjusted during the test to keep a constant rate of discharge. This brings the validity of the analysis
into question.
5. Plan of Action: Considering the facility's history of compliance and the conditions observed during
the past inspections and site visits, the site appears to be inadequate to support even the current
permitted volume at the present level of management. The Town was requested to file a
comprehensive remedial plan to enhance soil drainage, along with an agronomic plan to manage
cover crops in order to properly maintain the existing site, and to aid in evaluating any request to
expand the site in future. No such proposal was forwarded in the subsequent letters.
Because of the above continuing concerns and the lack of appropriate proposal to address such concerns, the
Division has currently decided against approving modification of this permit to expand to 0.040 MGD, as
requested.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2008, shall void Permit No.
WQ0002520 issued September 25, 1998, and shall be subject to the conditions and Iimitations as specified
therein. As always, remember to take the time to review this permit thoroughly, as some of the conditions
contained therein may have been added, changed, or deleted since the last issuance. 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.

This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2008, shall void Permit No.
WQ0002520 issued September 25, 1998, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and
limitations:
I. 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 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 (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
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.
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.
6. The system must be operated to prevent bottom solids accumulations in the storage cell of the
existing treatment lagoon, which could carry-over settled solids to the storage lagoon, and shall have
no appreciable accumulations of settled solids in the storage lagoon.
7. The disposal system shall be connected to a rain or moisture sensor that shall indicate when
wastewater application is not appropriate in accordance with Condition 11.4 of this permit.

b. For Total Organic Carbon (TOC), if concentration greater than 10 mg/1 is detected in any down -
gradient monitoring well, additional sampling and analysis must be conducted to identify the
individual 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. For Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) sampled in November, use only one of the following
methods:
1) Standard Method 6230D, Practical Quantitation Limit (PQL) at 0.5 ug/L or less
2) Standard Method 6210, PQL at 0.5 ug/L or less
3) EPA Method 8021, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 ug/L or less
4) EPA Method 8260, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 ug/L or less
5) Another method with prior approval by the Groundwater Section Chief.
Any of the referenced methods used for VOCs must at a minimum, include all the constituents
listed in Table VIII of Standard Method 6230D. Any method used must provide a PQL of 0.5
ug/L or less, which must be supported by laboratory proficiency studies as required by the DWQ
Laboratory Certification Unit. Any constituents detected above the Method Detection Limit
(MDL) but below the PQL of 0.5 ug/L must be qualified (estimated) and reported.
d. Any laboratory selected to analyze parameters must be Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
certified for those parameters required.
3. Reporting / Documentation:
a. All reports and documentation (GW-1, GW-30, GW-59) shall be mailed to the following address:

Section's website at http://gw.ehnr.state.nc.us/ or requested from the address mentioned above-
b. The permittee shall submit a copy of the GW-1 Form (Well Construction Record) for each of the
three new replacement monitor wells to the address Iisted in the "Reporting / Documentation"
section of the Groundwater Requirements. Failure to submit these forms as required by this
permit may result in the initiation of enforcement activities pursuant to NC General Statutes 143-
215.6A.
The results of the sampling and analysis must be received on Form GW-59 (Groundwater Quality
Monitoring: Compliance Report Form) by the Groundwater Section (address listed in the
"Reporting / Documentation" section of the Groundwater Requirements), on or before the last
working day of the month following the sampling month. The data of all groundwater sampling
analyses required by the permit conditions must be reported using the most recent GW-59 form
along with attached copies of the laboratory analyses. The monitor wells must be identified as
MW-1, MW-2, MW-3, MW-4, MW-5, MW-9, MW-10, and MW-11.
O

d. Within sixty (60) days of completion of MW-9, MW-10, and MW-11, the permttee shall submit
two original copies of a scaled site map (scale no greater than 1"=100); however, special
provisions may be granted upon prior approval for large properties. The map(s) must include the
following information:
1) The location and identity of each monitoring well.
2) The location of major components of the waste disposal system.
3) The location of property boundaries within 500 feet of the disposal area(s).
4) The latitude and longitude of the established horizontal control monument.
5) The elevation of the top of the well casing (which shall be known as the "measuring point")
relative to a common datum.
6) The depth of water below the measuring point at the time the measuring point is
established.

any supporting documentation shall be sent to the Groundwater Section as addressed in the
"Reporting / Documentation" above.
The permittee is responsible for the geographic accuracy of any map submitted, however
produced
4. Vertical Separation Requirement :
Waste application activities shall not occur when the vertical separation between depth of
application and the water table is less than three (3) feet. Verification of water table elevation can
be confirmed by water level readings obtained from the monitor well(s) near the site or auger
boring(s), which must be done within twenty-four(240 hours prior to application to decrease the
chance of any waste contaminating the groundwater.
5. Applicable Boundaries:
a. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified by regulations in 15A
NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. The Compliance Boundary for the
disposal system individually permitted after December 31, 1983 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 Quality Standards at or beyond the
Compliance Boundary is subject to immediate remediation action according to 15A NCAC 21,
.0106(d)(2).
b. 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 2L .0106(d)(1).
6. Additional Requirements:
Any [additional] groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be
provided.
