nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including
those as may be required by this Division, such as the construction of additional or
replacement treatment or disposal facilities.
5. 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.
6. Any sludge generated' from these treatment facilities must be disposed of in

characteristic, such as the dumping of the contents of a basin or tank; the
known passage of a slug of hazardous substance through the facility; or any
other unusual circumstances.
b. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that render the
facility incapable of adequate wastewater treatment such as mechanical or
electrical failures of pumps, aerators, compressors, etc.
2

C. Any failure of a pumping station, sewer line, or treatment facility resulting in
a by-pass directly to receiving waters without treatment of all or any portion

does not recur.
1. Monitor wells 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 must be sampled
initially after construction (and prior to waste disposal operations) and thereafter
every February, June, and September for the following parameters:
Water Level Total Fecal Coliforms (1/100 ml)
Xylenes (0.4) (by Method 1 or Method 2 below)
Volatile Organic Compounds - ( by Method 1 or Method 2 below)
Method 1: Method 6230D ( Capillary - Column), "Standard Methods for
the Examination of Water and Wastewater", 17th edition, 1989
Method 2: Method 502.2 " Methods for the Determination of Organic
Compounds in Drinking Water", United States Environmental
Protection Agency - 600/4-88/039
The measurement of water level must be made prior to sampling for the remaining
parameters.
The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be
surveyed relative to mean sea level (M.S.L.). The depth of the water in each well
shall be measured from the surveyed point on the top of the casing. The water level
elevations shall then be determined relative to (M.S.L.).
The numbers in parentheses represent the maximum allowable concentrations in
Ugundwater for the various analytical parameters, as specified in 15 NCAC 2L
[Groundwater Classifications and Standards]. Unless otherwise noted, the
concentrations are given in parts per million.
If any volatile organic compounds are detected by method 6230D, or the equivalent
method 502.2, then EPA methods 604 and 611 must also be run to detect other
organic compounds which may be present. The results of all analysis specified in
the monitoring requirements, including 604 and 611 if required, must be submitted
simultaneously
The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent to the N.C. Division of
Environmental Management on Form GW-59 (Compliance Monitoring Report
Form) every March, July, and October.

2. The Compliangt BoundLryldelineated on the attached site plan for the disposal

Quality Standards applicable to the groundwater of North Carolina. An exceedance
of Groundwater Quality Standards beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to
penalty provisions applicable under General Statute 143-215.6(1)a. The sale of
property, by the Permittee, which is within or contiguous to the disposal system site
may alter location of the Compliance Boundary.
For facilities permitted bn or after December 30, 1983, the Compliance Boundary is
established at the lesser of 250 feet from the infiltration gallery, or 50 feet within
the property boundary.
If the title to any property which may affect the location of the Compliance Boundary
is changed, the permittee shall notify the Division Director within 14 days. The
Director shall then establish a modified Compliance Boundary which will be done as
a modification to the Pemut.
The RE BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified by regulations in 15
NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. A REVIEW
BOUNDARY is established around disposal systems midway between the
Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the waste disposal area... When the
concentration of any substance equals or exceeds the maximum allowable
concentration of that substance at the REYIEW BOUNDARY, as determined by
monitoring, the permittee shall either (i) demonstrate, through predictive calculations
or modeling, that natural site conditions, facility design and operational controls will
prevent a violation of standards at the Compliance Boundary; or, (ii) submit a plan
for the alteration of existing site conditions, facility design or operational controls
that will prevent a violation of standards at the Compliance Boundary, and
implement that plan upon its approval by the Director.
3. Any groundwater quality monitoring as deemed necessary by the Division of
Environmental Management shall be provided.
1. Adequate inspection, maintenance and cleaning shall be provided by the Permittee to
insure proper operation of the subject facilities.
2. The Permittee or his designee shall inspect the groundwater recovery and treatment
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 three years from the
