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
Mr. Harold E. Wilson
Durham County
FOR THE
continued operation of a 360 GPD spray irrigation wastewater treatment and disposal system consisting
of a 1,000 gallon baffled septic tank, a 1,000 gallon pump tank with a 35 GPM simplex pump and high
water alarm, a 324 ft2 subsurface sand filter, a tablet chlorinator, a 60 gallon chlorine contact tank, two
(2) connected 1,000 gallon storage/pump tanks with a 17.5 GPM simplex pump and high water alarm,
and all associated piping, controls and appurtenances, and a 10,000 ft2 spray irrigation area to serve the
Harold E. Wilson Residence, with no discharge of wastes to the surface waters, pursuant to the
application received January, 20, 1998, 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 September 30, 2003, shall void
Permit No. WQ0000243 issued September 14, 1993, and shall be subject to the following specified
conditions and limitations:
• I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
I. The spray irrigation facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times so
that there is no discharge to the 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 pen -nit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for
damages to surface or groundwaters resulting from the operation of this facility.
3. If excavation into bedrock is required for the installation of the septic tank or sand filter,
the pit shall be lined with a 10 mil synthetic liner.
4. 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.
5. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is
prohibited.

6. 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 drainageways 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 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
spray 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 facility by the Water Pollution Control System Operators
Certification Commission (WPCSOCC), the Permittee shall employ a certified
wastewater treatment plant operator to be in responsible charge (ORC) of the wastewater
treatment facilities. The operator must hold a certificate of the type and grade at least
equivalent to or, greater than the classification assigned to the wastewater treatment
facilities by the WPCSOCC. The Permittee must also employ a certified back-up
operator of the appropriate type and grade to comply with the conditions of 15A NCAC
8A .0202. The ORC of the facility must visit each Class I facility at least weekly and
each Class 11, III, and N facility at least daily, excluding weekends and holidays, and
must properly manage and document daily operation and maintenance of the facility and
must comply with all other conditions of 15A NCAC 8A.0202
1 A suitable vegetative cover shall be maintained over the appropriate facilities.
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 spray field.
6. The application rate shall not exceed a cumulative loading of 20.8 inches over any twelve
(12) month period at an instantaneous application rate not to allow any runoff.
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 Harold E. Wilson Residence shall be
sprayed onto the irrigation area.
9. In the event that the sprinkler heads fail to achieve the design diameter due to
obstructions, the obstructions shall be removed or the sprinkler heads shall be raised and
supported to such height that the design diameter is achieved.
2

10. No traffic or equipment shall be allowed on the disposal area except while installation
occurs or while normal maintenance is being performed.
11. The spray irrigation field shall be fenced with at least a two -strand wire fence.

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 II 12 for a minimum of five years. This
information shall be provided to the Division upon request.

The Permittee shall report by telephone to the Raleigh Regional. Office, telephone number
9191 571-4700 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
