Dear Mr. Gay:
The Division of Environmental Management has received your reply to the Notice of
Violation Letter you were sent by this Division on May 23, 1994, for failure to pay a 1994-
95 Annual Administrative fee.
You are correct, that, prior to this letter being sent, you had requested that this permit
be rescinded because you had determined that the need for this permit could be eliminated.
Accordingly, your permit renewal request was returned to you on January 10, 1994.
Therefore, the Permit was rescinded and should have been removed from our computer
systems, before the violation could have taken place. Our Budget Department was not
informed of this change, prior to their letter being sent.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused Weyerhaeuser, as the Division
is trying to hold such mistakes to a minimum. We will remove any indication that a
violation has occurred in this case.
If there is a need for any additional information or clarification, please do not hesitate
to contact Robert Farmer at [phone], ext. 531.
Sincerely, r
A. Preston Howard, Jr., P.E.

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 HERESY GRANTED TO
Weyerhaeuser Company
Washington County
FOR THE
continued operation of a 750 GPD wastewater treatment and evaporative disposal
system consisting of two (2) oil and grit separators and a 0.5 MG holding pond to
provide percolation and evaporation disposal with no discharge to the surface waters
of the State, pursuant to the application received November 29, 1988, and in
conformity with the project plan, specifications, and other supporting data
subsequently filed and approved by the Department of Natural. Resources and Community
Development and considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until February 28, 1994,
and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and limitations:
1. This permit shall become voidable unless the facilities are constructed in
accordance with the approved plans, specifications and other supporting data.
2. This permit is effective only with respect to the nature and volume of wastes
described in the application and other supporting data.
3. The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
4. This permit is not: transferable.
5. This permit shall become voidable in the event of failure of the soil to
adequately absorb 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.
6. In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the
creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take such immediate
corrective action as may be required by this Division, including the construction
of additional or replacement wastewater treatment or disposal facilities.

7. The sludge generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed of in
accordance with General Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approvable by the North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management.
8. The Permittee, at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of this permit,
shall request its extension. Upon receipt of the request, the Commission will
review the adequacy of the facilities described therein, and if warranted, will
extend the Permit for such period of time and under such conditions and
limitations as it may deem appropriate.
9. The Permittee shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator to be
in responsible charge of the wastewater treatment facilities. Such operator must
hold a certificate of the grade at least equivalent to the classification
assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities by the Certification Commission.
10, Freeboard in the lagoon shall not be less than two (2) feet at any time.
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. Within 90 days of permit issuance, two (2) monitor wells, one (1) upgradient
and one (1) downgradient, shall be installed to monitor groundwater quality. The
location and construction details for these wells shall be approved by the
Washington Regional Office, from which a well construction permit must be
obtained.
14. The monitor wells must be sampled initially after construction and thereafter
every November for the following parameters:
TDS TOC
PH MBAS
SO4 TOX
Water bevel
The measurement of water level must be made prior to sampling for the remaining
parameters.
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 occuring TOC
concentration. An exceedances of this naturally occuring TOC concentration in
the downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling and analysis
as described above.
k

V,
The analytical methods used for TOX must be capable of detecting the total of all
halogenated organic compounds present at a concentration of 5.0 parts per billion
(ppb) or greater. In the event that a TOX concentration of 5.0 ppb or greater is
detected, any individual halogenated organic compound(s) present at a
concentration at or above the method detection limit (MDL) must be identified and
quantified utilizing EPA methods 601, 602, 604, and 611.
The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent to the N.C. Division of
Environmental Management on Form GW -59 (Compliance Monitoring Report Form) by the
last day of the month following the months in which sampling is required.
15. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the
Division, shall be provided.
Permit issued this the 1st day of February, 1989.
