I k1A_ I
1. The four (4) existing monitoring wells shall to be sampled prior to waste disposal
operations, and thereafter every February, June, and October for the following parameters:
NO3 Ammonia Nitrogen
TDS TOC
pH Water Level
Chloride Fecal Coliforms
Total Suspended Solids
Volatile Organic Compounds - In October only (by Method i or Method 2 below).
Method 1: Method 6230D (Capillary - Column), "Standard Methods For The
Examination of Water and Wastewater", 17th ed., 1989.
Method 2: Method 502.2 "Methods For The Determination of Organic Compounds
in Drinking Water", U.S. EPA - 600/4-881039.
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.
If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/1 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 run 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.

2. 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 Statute 143-215.6(1)a. The sale
of property, by the Permittee, which is within or contiguous to the disposal site, may alter
the 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 perimeter of 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 delineated on the attached site map 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.
3. Any groundwater quality monitoring as deemed necessary by the Division of
Environmental Management shall be provided.
V. INSPECTIONS
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 wastewater treatment and disposal 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 date of the inspection and shall be made available upon request to
the Division of Environmental Management or other permitting authority.
3.. - Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the Division of Environmental
Management may, upon presentation of credentials, enter and inspect any property,
premises or place on or related to the disposal site and facility at any reasonable time for the
purpose of determining compliance with this permit; may inspect or copy any records that
must be kept under the terms and conditions of this permit; or may obtain samples of
groundwater, surface water, or leachate.
