Natural Resources and considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until January 31, 2010, shall void Permit No.
WQ0000185 issued April 15, 2010, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance
conditions, 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 or disposal facilities.
2. This permit shall become voidable if the soils fail to adequately assimilate 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rescinded unless the facilities are installed, maintained, and operated in a manner which will protect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. The ponding of
wastewater on the surface of the distribution field when the dosing cycle commences shall be
considered as evidence of failure of the soils to adequately assimilate the wastewater. Additionally,
such failure shall be interpreted as a violation of this permit condition.
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.
C4. Adequate measures shall be taken to divert stormwater from the high rate infiltration area and to
prevent wastewater runoff.
5. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is prohibited.
6. 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.
7. The following buffers shall be maintained:
a. 10 feet between high rate infiltration unit and any on -property residential units that are to be sold
C
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 high rate infiltration 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.
8. A usable green area shall be maintained for wastewater disposal. The green area shall have the
capability of accommodating the average daily flow of the facility being served without exceeding
the loading rates of the green area. A "green area", as defined in 15A NCAC 2H.0404 (g)(7), is an
area suitable for waste disposal, either in its natural state or which has been modified by planting a
vegetative cover of grasses or low growing shrubbery.

water diversions, etc.) and from any groundwater lowering and surface drainage ditches,
j.
50 feet between high rate infiltration unit and property lines,
k.
50 feet between treatment units and property lines, and
1.
50 feet between high rate infiltration unit and public right of ways.
C
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 high rate infiltration 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.
8. A usable green area shall be maintained for wastewater disposal. The green area shall have the
capability of accommodating the average daily flow of the facility being served without exceeding
the loading rates of the green area. A "green area", as defined in 15A NCAC 2H.0404 (g)(7), is an
