Dear Mr. Pittari:
In accordance with your permit modification application completed on June 19, 2003, we are forwarding
herewith Permit No, WQ0003067, dated July 8, 2003, to C & P Enterprises, Inc. for the continued operation of
the subject wastewater collection, and treatment facilities and the modification of the high rate infiltration
disposal system. The existing rotary distributors are to be replaced with a rectangular dual bed fixed head
spray application unit centered between the property lines within the Green Area.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until February 28, 2007; shall void Permit No.
WQ0003067, issued on March 28, 2002; and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified
therein. Make note of this permit's expiration date and the fact that a permit renewal application must be
submitted to the Division of Water Quality (Division) no later than six months prior to that date (see Condition
VI. 8.), as the Division does not send reminders to you to apply for permit renewal.
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. The permit issued March 28, 2002, incorporated the compliance schedule agreed to in the January
15, 2002 settlement agreement. Most of the conditions of the compliance schedule have been met. After the
proposed disposal units are installed, groundwater monitoring data will be assessed for a period of not less than
one year to determine if the relocation will be sufficient to achieve compliance or if additional modifications
are required. The Division has agreed to maintain the compliance and review boundaries as currently
established (see Condition IV. 4.), when the high -rate infiltration units are moved to their proposed location.
Concerns were raised during the review of the proposed modification to the disposal system that the
application time of 18 hours per day at design flow rates might not allow sufficient time for the surface of the
disposal area to dry, thus promoting excessive vegetative growth. It was determined that this should not be a
problem since the current effluent flow rates are far below the design rate. If soil surface wetness becomes a
problem then appropriate action will need to be taken such as increasing the pump capacity or replacing the
spray heads.

WQ0003067, issued on March 28, 2002; and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and
limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
As part of a settlement agreement with the Division of Water Quality (Division) dated
January 15, 2002 as well as the subsequent memorandum of agreement, the Permittee agreed
to perform certain activities in order to address and resolve satisfactorily the operational
issues that led to the issuance of a May 10, 2000 notice of violation/notice of
recommendation for enforcement and subsequent assessment of civil penalties on February
21, 2001. The permit issued March 28, 2002, incorporated the compliance schedule agreed to
in the January 15, 2002, settlement agreement. Most of the conditions of the compliance
schedule have been met. The proposed relocation of the high rate infiltration units and
associated facilities must be completed as soon as possible but no more than sixty (60) days
following issuance of this permit. After the proposed disposal units are installed and placed
into operation, groundwater monitoring data will be assessed for a period of not less than one
year to determine if the relocation will be sufficient to achieve compliance or if additional
modifications are required. The groundwater compliance and review boundaries will be
maintained as currently established when the high -rate infiltration units are moved to their
proposed location.
In the event that the wastewater collection, treatment, and non -discharge disposal facilities
fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions, 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 facilities.
2. This permit shall become voidable if the soils fail to assimilate the wastewater effluent
adequately and may be rescinded unless all of the wastewater collection, treatment and non -
discharge disposal facilities are installed, maintained, and operated in a manner that will
protect the assigned water quality standards of the surface waters and groundwater. Ponding
of wastewater effluent on the land surface of the high -rate infiltration units of the non -
discharge disposal facilities when the dosing cycle commences shall be considered evidence
that the soils are failing to assimilate the wastewater effluent adequately. Such failure shall
be interpreted as a violation of this permit condition-
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 collection,
treatment and non -discharge disposal facilities.
4. Diversion or bypassing of untreated or treated wastewater from the wastewater collection,
treatment, and/or the non -discharge disposal facilities shall be strictly prohibited.
The residuals generated from the wastewater treatment facilities shall be disposed in
accordance with North Carolina General Statute §143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the
Division.
6. The following buffers shall be maintained by the wastewater treatment and non -discharge
disposal facilities:
a. 50 feet between high -rate infiltration units and any property line or public right-of-way;
b. 100 feet between high -rate infiltration units and any private or public water supply
source;
c. 200 feet between high -rate infiltration units and any stream classified as WS or B;
d. 200 feet between high -rate infiltration units and any water classified as SA or SB from
mean high water;
e. 200 feet between higb-rate infiltration units and any other stream, marsh, or coastal water
not previously identified in this condition;
f. 200 feet between high -rate infiltration units and any Class I or Class II impounded
reservoir used as a source of drinking water (i.e., at normal high water);
g. 200 feet between high -rate infiltration units and any drainage system (upslope or
downslope interceptor drain or surface water diversion) and any groundwater lowering or
surface drainage ditch.
Some of the buffers specified above may not have been included in previous approvals for the
wastewater treatment and non -discharge disposal facilities. These buffers are not intended to
prohibit or prevent modifications that may be required by the Division to improve the
performance of the existing facilities. These buffers, however, shall apply to modifications of
the facilities that are for the purpose of increasing the flow that is tributary to the facilities.
Unless otherwise approved by the Division, these buffers also shall apply to any expansion or
modifications of the facilities and apply in instances in which the sale of property would
cause any of the buffers now complied with to be violated.
7. A usable green area shall be maintained for wastewater effluent disposal. The green area
shall have the capability of accommodating the average daily flow of the wastewater
treatment and non -discharge disposal facilities being served without exceeding the maximum
instantaneous and cumulative loading rates of the green area, as recommended by a North
Carolina -licensed soil scientist. The green area shall be as defined in 15A NCAC 2H
.0404(g)(7), specifically an area that shall be suitable for wastewater effluent disposal, either
in its natural state or in one that has been modified through establishment of a suitable
vegetative cover.
