well(s) shall be constructed such that the water level in the well is never above or
below the screened (open) portion -of the well at any time during the year.
However, the exact location and construction details for these wells shall be
approved by the Fayetteville Regional Office, from which a well construction
permit must be obtained.
3

3. The monitoring wells shall be sampled initially after construction anchereafter
every February, June, and October for the following parameters:
NO3 (10.0)
TDS (500.0)
pH (6.5 - 8.5 Standard Units)
Chloride (250.0)
Total Suspended Solids
Volatile Organic Compounds -
below).
Amonia Nitrogen
TOC
Water Level
Total Coliforms (1/100ml)
In October only (by Method 1 or Method 2
Method 1: Method 6230D (Capillary - Column), "Standard Methods For The
Examination of Water and Wastewater", lith ed., 1989.
Method 2: Method 502..2 "Methods For The Determination of Organic Compounds
in Drinking Water", U.S. EPA - 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
to provide relative elevations of the measuring point for each of the monitoring
wells. The depth of water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on
the top of the casing.
The numbers in parentheses represent the maximum allowable concentrations in
groundwater for the various analytical parameters, as specified in 15 NCAC 2L
[Groundwater Classifications and Standards]. Unless otherwise specified, the units
for these concentrations are expressed as milligrams per liter.
.If TQC concentrations greater than 10 mg/l are detected in any downgradient
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 downgradient wells shall be
subject to the additional sampling and analysis as described above.
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 runt to detect other
organic compounds which may be present. The results of all analyses 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 November.
4. The Compliance Boundary delineated on the attached site map for the disposal
system is specified by regulations in 15A NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications
and Standards. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards beyond the
Compliance Boundary is subject to the penalty provisions applicable under General
Statutel43-215.6(1)a. The sale of property, by the Permittee, which is within or
contiguous to thedisposal site, may alter the location of the Compliance Boundary.
For facilities permitted prior to December 30, 1983, the Compliance Boundary is
established at the lesser of 500 feet from the waste disposal area, or the property
boundary, whichever is less.
M

For facilities permitted on or after December 30, 1983, the Compliance Boundary is
established at the lesser of 250 feet from the waste disposal area, 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 DEM Director within 14 days. The
Director shall then establish a modified Compliance Boundary which will be done as
a modification to the Permit.
The REVIEW 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 REVIEW 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.
5. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the
Division, shall be provided.
V. INSPECTIONS,
