Single Family Wastewater
Spray Irrigation Facility
Dear Mr. Holder: Granville County
In accordance with your name change and renewal request received November 21, 1994, we are
forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0003632 as amended, dated March 20, 1995, to Mr. Wesley A.
Holder for the continued operation of the subject single family wastewater treatment and spray irrigation
facilities. This permit is being amended to transfer ownership of the subject wastewater treatment and
disposal facility from Mr. Hank Middleton to Mr. Wesley A. Holder.
Please be advised, this facility has not been designed and permitted for a 4 -bedroom home. If at
any time an additional bedroom is to be added to this facility, an Engineering evaluation must be completed
and the wastewater spray irrigation facility shown that it can handle the additional wastewater flow, Upon
completion of this engineering evaluation, a permit amendment must be requested and received from the
Division prior to adding the additional bedroom.
In addition, Permit Condition No. 115 has also been amended to limit application to 39.0 inches
per year rather than 0.75 inches per week. The Division has amended this condition to allow further
irrigation during the dryer, summer months and less than during the wetter, winter months. However, at
no time shall the instantaneous application rate cause run-off.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until February 28, 2000, shall void Permit
No. WQ0003632 issued August 31, 1990, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as
specified therein. Please 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.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the
right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of
this permit. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the
North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Drawer
27447, Raleigh, NC 27611-7447. Unless such demands are made this permit shall be final and binding.

SINGLE FAMILY SPRAY IRRIGATION PERMIT
In accordance with the provisions of Article 21 of Chapter 143, General Statutes of North Carolina as
amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
Wesley A. Holder
Granville County
FOR THE
continued operation of a 450 GPD spray irrigation wastewater treatment and disposal system consisting of
a 1,200 gallon baffled septic tank, a recirculation/pump tank with a single 112 HP recirculation pump, a
300 ftz surface sand filter, flow splitter box, a tablet chlorinator, an irrigation pump tank with a single 16
GPM irrigation pump and 2,000 gallon capacity for wastewater storage, and a 6,800 ft2 spray irrigation
area to serve the Holder Residence (Deerfield II, Lot #5), with no discharge of wastes to the surface
waters, pursuant to the name change and renewal request received November 21, 1994, and in conformity
with the project plan, specifications, and other supporting data subsequently filed and approved by the
Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources and considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until February 28, 2000, shall void Permit
No. WQ0003632 issued August 31, 1990, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and
limitations:
1. PERFORMANCE „STANDARDS
1. The spray 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
Environmental Management, 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 North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management.
4. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is
prohibited.

5. 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 drainageways 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 which 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
spray 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.
II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. A suitable vegetative cover shall be maintained.
Irrigation shall not be performed during inclement weather or when the ground is in a
condition that will cause runoff.
4. Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent wastewater runoff from the spray field.
5. The application rate shall not exceed 39.0 inches per year.
6, The facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to
prevent the discharge of any wastewater resulting from the operation of this facility.
7. No type of wastewater other than that from the Holder Residence shall be sprayed onto the
irrigation area.

the obstructions shall be removed or the sprinkler heads shall be raised and supported to
such height that the design diameter is achieved.
9. No traffic or equipment shall be allowed on the disposal area except while installation
occurs or while normal maintenance is being performed.
10. The Permittee is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the entire treatment and
disposal system including, but not limited to, the following items:
a. The septic tank shall be checked annually and pumped out as needed.
b. The tablet chlorinator shall be checked every week. Tablets shall be added so as to

2

d. The spray system shall be inspected weekly to make certain of the sprayers proper
operation, that the vegetative growth allows a proper spray pattern, that the soil is
assimilating the disposed treated wastewater with no surface runoff, and that no
objectionable odors are being generated.
III. MONITORING AND REPQRTING REQXIIREMENTS
1. Any monitoring deemed necessary by the Division of Environmental Management to insure
surface and ground water protection will be established and an acceptable sampling
reporting schedule shall be followed.
2. The Permittee shall maintain records of all maintenance performed on the system and
irrigation area, as required in Condition II 10 for a minimum of five years. This
