nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those
as may be required by this Division, such as construction of additional or replacement
wastewater treatment or disposal facilities.
4. The issuance of this pen -nit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages
to surface or groundwaters resulting from the operation of this facility.

S . This permit shall become voidable if the soils fail to adequately absorb the wastes and may
be rescinded unless the facilities are installed, maintained, and operated in a manner which
will protect the assigned water quality standards of the surface waters and ground waters.
6. Adequate measures shall be taken to divert stormwater from the disposal area and prevent
wastewater runoff from the subsurface disposal field.
7. The sludge generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed of in accordance with
General Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management.
8. A usable reserve area shall be maintained for wastewater disposal. The reserve area shall
have the capability of accommodating the average daily flow of the facility being served
without exceeding the loading rates of the reserve area while meeting all required buffer
requirements.
9. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is
prohibited.
10. The following buffers shall be maintained:
a) 100 feet between disposal area and any public or private water supply including
wells
b) 100 feet between disposal area and,"SA and SB" classified surface waters
C) 50 feet between disposal area and any stream, lake, river or natural drainageway
d) 50 feet between disposal area and property lines
e) 10 feet between disposal area and surface water interceptor drains or diversions
(upslope)
f) 25 feet between disposal area and surface water interceptor drains or diversions
(downslope) and groundwater drainage systems.
11. A leakage test shall be performed on the septic tank and dosing tank to insure that any
exfiltration occurs at a rate which does not exceed twenty (20) gallons per twenty-four (24)
hour per 1,000 gallons of tank capacity. The engineer's certification will serve as proof of
compliance with this condition.
12. The bottom of the nitrification trenches shall not exceed 28 inches below land surface.
II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. Upon classification of the facility by the Certification Commission, the Permittee shall
employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator to be in responsible charge of the
wastewater treatment facilities. The operator must hold a certificate of the type and grade at
least equivalent to the classification assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities by the
Certification Commission.
3. The application rates to the disposal field shall not exceed 0.40 GPD/ft2.
4. 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.
5. No traffic or equipment shall be allowed on the disposal area except while installation
occurs or while normal maintenance is being performed.

surface and ground water protection will be established and an acceptable sampling
reporting schedule shall be followed.
2. The nitrification lines shall be maintained as necessary (including purging of the lines) in
order to ensure that they remain free of obstructing materials. Adequate records showing
all maintenance shall be maintained by the Permittee.
3. A record shall be maintained of all residuals removed from this facility. This record shall
include the name of the hauler, permit authorizing the disposal or a letter from a
municipality agreeing to accept the residuals, date the residuals were hauled, and volume of
residuals removed.
4. Noncompliance Notification:

[phone], as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours or on the next
working day following the occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the
following:
a. Any occurrence at the wastewater treatment facility which results in the treatment of
significant amounts of wastes which are abnormal in quantity or 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.
C. Any failure of a pumping station, sewer line, or treatment facility resulting in a by-
pass of all or any portion of the influent to such station or facility.
d. Any time that self-monitoring information indicates that the facility has gone out of
compliance with its permit limitations.
Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in letter
form within 15 days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report must outline
the actions taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem does not recur.

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 on or after December 30, 1983, the Compliance Boundary is
established at the lesser of 250 feet from the disposal system, 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
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.
V. INSPECTIONS
