MR. ERIC WEATHERLY — COUNTY ENGINEER

153 COURTHOUSE ROAD, SUITE 302
CURRITUCK, NORTH CAROLINA 27929
Dear Mr. Weatherly:
John E. Skvarla, III
Secretary
Subject: Permit No. WQ0000185
Ocean Sands WWTF
Modification
High -Rate Infiltration System
Currituck County
In accordance with your permit minor modification request received December 5, 2013 we are
forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0000185 dated January 31, 2014, to the County of Currituck for the
construction and continued operation of the subject wastewater treatment and high -rate infiltration
facilities.
This permit has been modified to allow for renovations to the infiltration area including the
demolition of the existing spray field components, regrading, and installation of new forcemains,
manifolds, risers, and spray heads, and replacement of existing dosing pumps with new, larger
submersible pumps. The modification results in a reduction in the effective hydraulic loading to the site
(from 7.65 GPD/SF to 5.72 GPD/SF) due to the additional spray heads in areas previously not irrigated
within the existing spray field footprint.
Attachment B has been modified to reflect operation of the spray field as one zone of 2.41 acres
instead of the previous ten 0.18 ac zones. The maximum allowable loading rate remains at 7.65 GPD/SF.
Also note Condition I.1, requiring abandonment of MW -8, P1, P2, and P3 (as per the previous permit
version), must be completed no later than April 1, 2014.
This permit shall be effective from January 31, 2014 until January 31, 2019, shall void Permit No.
WQ0000185 issued August 30, 2013, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified
therein. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring requirements listed in Attachments A, B and C.
Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required operational
information shall result in future compliance problems.
Customized electronic copies of your facility's NDMR and revised NDAR-2 reporting forms are
available for download at: http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wg/aps/lau/reporting.

1. 3 x Year monitoring shall be conducted in March, July & November; annual monitoring shall be conducted every November.
2. The measurement of water levels shall be made prior to purging the wells. The depth to water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on the top of the casing. The measurement
of pH shall be made after purging and prior to sampling for the remaining parameters.
3. The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to provide the relative elevation of the measuring point for each monitoring well. The measuring points (top
of casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed relative to a common datum.
4. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) - In November only, analyze by one of the following methods:
a. Standard Method 6230D, PQL at 0.5 gg/L or less
b. Standard Method 6210D, PQL at 0.5 gg/L or less
c. EPA Method 8021, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 gg/L or less
d. EPA Method 8260, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
e. Another method with prior approval by the Aquifer Protection Section Chief
Any method used must meet the following qualifications:
a. A laboratory must be DWQ certified to run any method used.
b. The method used must, at a minimum, include all the constituents listed in Table VIII of Standard Method 6230D.
c. The method used must provide a PQL of 0.5 gg/I, or less that must be supported by laboratory proficiency studies as required by the DWQ Laboratory Certification Unit. Any constituents
detected above the MDL but below the PQL of 0.5 gg/L must be qualified (estimated) and reported.
5. If any volatile organic compounds (VOC) are detected as a result of monitoring as provided in Attachment C, then the Washington Regional Office Aquifer Protection Supervisor, telephone
number (252) 946-6481, must be contacted immediately for further instructions regarding any additional follow-up analyses required.
6. If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/L 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.

7. Monitoring wells shall be reported consistent with the nomenclature and loci tion information provided in the attached Site Map and this attachment.
