3. This permit is effective only with respect to the nature and volume of wastes described in the permit
application, Division approved plans and specifications, and other supporting documentation. No
variances to applicable rules governing the construction or operation of the permitted facilities are
granted, unless specifically requested and approved in this permit pursuant to 15A NCAC 02T
.0105(n).
4. In accordance with 15A NCAC 02T .0114(f) and pursuant to an approved flow reduction request, the
Division accepts the data -based design flow rate of 237 gallons per day per residential unit (GPD/RU)
for the users served by this facility. Regardless of the adjusted daily wastewater design flow rate, at
no time shall wastewater flows exceed the limits defined in this permit for the subject facility, or
exceed the sewer capacity downstream of any new sewer extension or service connection(s).
The Permittee shall report the actual (i.e., measured) monthly average amount of wastewater flow
contributed per unit (GPD/RU) for the 12 months prior to permit renewal. If any of these actual
monthly averages are within 20% of the approved value, the Permittee shall re-evaluate the approved
value using the methodology applied to determine the approved flow rate of 237 GPD/RU, and
submit this information within 18 months of renewal. The Division may change the daily wastewater
design flow rate for connections to the system at that time, and upon each renewal cycle, pending an
,,w•, evaluation of the submitted flow information.
I%W
5. In accordance with 15A NCAC 02T .0114(f)(4), the Permittee shall retain the Division's written
approval of any authorized adjusted daily design flow rate for the life of the facility, and shall transfer
said written approval to any future Permittee.
6. The issuance of this permit does not exempt the Permittee from complying with any and all statutes,
rules, regulations, or ordinances, which may be imposed by other jurisdictional government agencies
(e.g., local, state, and federal). Of particular concern to the Division are applicable river buffer rules
in 15A NCAC 02B .0200; erosion and sedimentation control requirements in 15A NCAC Chapter 4
and under the Division's General Permit NCGO10000; any requirements pertaining to wetlands under
15A NCAC 02B .0200 and 02H .0500; and documentation of compliance with Article 21 Part 6 of
Chapter 143 of the General Statutes.
7. In the event the permitted facilities change ownership or the Permittee changes their name, a formal
permit modification request shall be submitted to the Division. This request shall be made on official
Division forms, and shall include appropriate property ownership documentation and other supporting
documentation as necessary. The Permittee of record shall remain fully responsible for maintaining
and operating the facilities permitted herein until a permit is issued to the new owner.
8. The Permittee shall retain a set of Division approved plans and specifications for the life of the
facilities permitted herein.
9. The Permittee shall maintain this permit until all permitted facilities herein are properly closed or
permitted under another permit issued by the appropriate permitting authority pursuant to 15A NCAC
02T.01050).
10. This permit is subject to revocation or unilateral modification upon 60 days notice from the Division
Director, in whole or part for the requirements listed in 15A NCAC 02T .0110.
WQ0000193 Version 2.2 Shell Version 120726 Page 9 of 12

11. Unless the Division Director grants a variance, expansion of the permitted facilities contained herein
shall not be granted if the Permittee exemplifies any of the criteria in 15A NCAC 02T .0120(b).
12. The Permittee shall pay the annual fee within 30 days after being billed by the Division. Failure to
pay the annual fee accordingly shall be cause for the Division to revoke this permit pursuant to 15A
NCAC 02T .0105(e)(3).

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 µg/L or less
b. Standard Method 621 OD, PQL at 0.5 4g/L or less
C. EPA Method 8021, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
d. EPA Method 8260, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 gg/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 4g/L 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 Wilmington Regional Office Aquifer Protection Supervisor, telephone
number [phone], 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 location information provided in Figure land this attachment.
