2,400 square feet (800 linear feet of nitrification line) and all the associated piping, valves, and
appune,nances to serve Perdue Farms, Incorporated's Egg Distribution Center with no discharge of wastes
to the surface waters, pursuant to the renewal request received April 15, 1991 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.

I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of
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.
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, 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be rescinded unless the facilities are installed, maintained, and operated in a manner which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.
4. Adequate measures shall be taken to divert stormwater from the disposal area and prevent
wastewater runoff from the subsurface disposal field.
5. 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.
WV
6. 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.
7. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is
prohibited.
S. The following buffers shall be maintained:
a) 100 feet between disposal area and any public or private water supply includin+cy
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.
II. OPERATION ANDMAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. The application rates to the disposal field shall not exceed 0.4 gpd/sf.
3. 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.
4. No traffic or equipment shall be allowed on the disposal area except while installation
occurs or while normal maintenance is being performed.
5. A suitable cover shall be maintained on the disposal field(s) and the field(s) shall be
routinely mowed. The clippings shall be periodically removed to prevent the build-up of
thatch.
III. MONITORING AND REPORTINQ REQUIREMENTS
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. 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

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
