SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE SURFACE 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
Kenneth A. Moore and William A. Blake
Durham County
FOR THE
continued operation of two (2) identical 450 GPD spray irrigation wastewater treatment and disposal
systems both consisting of a 1,000 gallon septic tank, dual subsurface sand filters, disinfection, two (2)
1,500 gallon pump/storage tanks with ultimate disposal to a single 0.35 acre spray irrigation area and all
associated piping and appurtenances with no discharge of wastes to the surface waters to serve the both
the Moore and Blake Single Family Residences (702 and 800 Avalon Rd.), pursuant to the application
received January 28, 2004, and in conformity with the project plan, specifications, and other supporting
data subsequently filed and approved by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and
considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until August 31, 2009, shall void Permit
No. WQ0000132 issued July 30, 1993 and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and
limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. The surface irrigation facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times so that
there is no discharge to 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 Water Quality (Division), 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 ground waters 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 Division.

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 drainage ways 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 that 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 surface 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
The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. Upon classification of the wastewater treatment and surface irrigation facilities by the Water
Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC), the Permittee
shall designate and employ a certified operator to be in responsible charge (ORC) and one or
more certified operator(s) to be back-up ORC(s) of the facilities in accordance with 15A
NCAC 8G.0201. The ORC shall visit the facilities in accordance with 15A NCAC 8G.0204
or as specified in this permit and shall comply with all other conditions specified in these
rules.

4. Irrigation shall not be performed during inclement weather or when the ground is in a
condition that will cause runoff.
5. Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent wastewater runoff from the irrigation field.
6. The application rate shall not exceed a cumulative loading of 65 inches over any twelve (12)
month period at an instantaneous application rate not to exceed 0.5 inches per hour.
7. 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.
8. No type of wastewater other than that from the Moore and Blake Residences (702 and 800
Avalon Rd.) shall be sprayed onto the irrigation area.
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 irrigation field shall be fenced with at least a two -strand wire fence.
11. Wastewater treatment units open to the atmosphere shall have restricted access and pump
control panels shall be locked.
12. The Permittee is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the entire treatment and
disposal system including, but not limited to, the following items:

effluent filter shall be checked and cleaned at the same frequency of the septic tank.
b. The tablet chlorinator shall be checked every week. Tablets shall be added to provide
proper chlorination.
c. The storage, pump, and alarm systems shall be inspected monthly. The scum layer shall
be removed at the same interval as the septic tank is cleaned out.
d. The system shall be inspected monthly to make certain of the proper operation of the spray
heads, 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 REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
1. Any monitoring deemed necessary by the Division 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 Il(12) for a minimum of five years. This information shall be provided to
the Division upon request.
3. Noncompliance Notification:
The Permittee shall report by telephone to the Raleigh Regional Office, telephone number
[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 process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that renders the facility
incapable of adequate wastewater treatment, such as mechanical or electrical failures of
pumps, spray heads, etc.; or
b. Any failure of a pumping station or treatment facility resulting in a by-pass directly to
receiving waters without treatment of all or any portion of the influent to such station or
facility.
Occurrences outside normal business hours may also be reported to the Division's Emergency
Response personnel at telephone number [phone] or [phone]. Persons
reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in letterform within
