supply wells, lakes, ponds, streams, and other surface drainage features within 500 feet of the
wastewater treatment/spray irrigation sites. The plan shall include available construction details for
any existing monitoring wells proposed for inclusion in the monitoring well network.
2. Within ninety (90) days of approval of the groundwater monitoring plan by the Division, all
proposed/new, monitoring wells shall be installed to monitor groundwater quality. The wells shall be
constructed such that the water level in the well is never above or below the screened (open) portion
of the well at any time during the year. The general location and name for each well shall be as
shown on the approved facility groundwater monitoring plan. The top of casing elevations of all
monitoring wells included in the approved monitoring well network shall be provided to the
Wilmington Regional Office Groundwater Section within 90 days of completion of all new
monitoring well installation activities. The top of casing elevations shall be accurate to within 0.01
feet. Each monitoring well shall be constructed in accordance with this permit and approved by the
Wilmington Regional Office.
The wells must be constructed by either a North Carolina Certified Well Contractor, the property
owner, or the property lessee according to General Statutes 87-94.4(b)(2). If the construction is not
performed by a certified well contractor, the property owner or lessee must physically perform the
actual well construction activities, and the well must be constructed according to the North Carolina
Well Construction Standards (15A NCAC 2C.0108) and the local county rules.
4. Within sixty (60) days of approval of the groundwater monitoring plan, monitor wells MW -7 and
MW -8 and any other monitoring wells designated for abandonment in the facility groundwater
monitoring plan shall be permanently abandoned. Within thirty (30) days of abandonment, a Well
Abandonment Record (GW -30 form) shall be completed for each well abandoned and mailed to the
address listed in the "Reporting / Documentation" section of the Groundwater Requirements. The
wells must be abandoned by either a North Carolina Certified Well Contractor, the property owner, or
the property lessee according to General Statutes 87-94.4(b)(2). If the abandonment is not performed
by a certified well contractor, the property owner or lessee must physically perform the actual well
abandonment activities and the wells must be abandoned according to the North Carolina Well
Construction Standards (15A NCAC 2C .0113) and local county rules. Some existing monitoring
wells may be valuable to Carolina Turkeys for further study of site groundwater conditions. If a
monitoring well is properly constructed in accordance with the 15A NCAC 2C.0100 rules, and will
not serve as a potential pathway for vertical migration of surface contamination or wastewater
effluent into the aquifer, Carolina Turkeys may maintain the well with a securely locking well shield
and cap instead of permanently abandoning the monitoring well.
The Wilmington Regional Office, telephone number (910) 395-3900, shall be notified at least forty-
eight (48) hours prior to the construction of any monitor well so that an inspection can be made of the
monitoring well location. Such notification to the regional groundwater supervisor shall be made
during the normal office hours from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday, excluding
state holidays.
6. Within thirty (30) days of completion of all well construction activities, a certification must be
received from a professional engineer or a licensed geologist certifying that the monitoring wells are
located according to this permit.
Monitoring wells included in the monitoring well network approved by the Division shall be sampled
every January, May, and September for the parameters listed below. Prior to sampling the
parameters, the measurement of water levels must be taken. The depth to water in each well shall be
measured from the surveyed point on the top of the casing. The depth to water measurement should
be taken to the nearest 0.01 feet.
Nitrate Nitrogen (NO3-N)
Total Organic Carbon (TOC)

Total Ammonia Nitrogen (NH3-N)
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
pH
Chloride
Total Phosphorous
For Total Organic Carbon (TOC), if concentrations greater than 10 mg/1 are detected in any down -
gradient 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 down -gradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling and analysis as
described above.
Any laboratory selected to analyze parameters must be Division of Water Quality (DWQ) certified
for those parameters required.
The results of the sampling and analysis must be received on Form GW -59 (Groundwater Quality
Monitoring: Compliance Report Form) by the Groundwater Section (address listed in the "Reporting /
Documentation" section of the Groundwater Requirements), on or before the last working day of the
month following the sampling month. The data of all groundwater sampling analyses required by the
permit conditions must be reported using the most recent GW -59 form along with attached copies of
the laboratory analyses.
8. All reports and documentation (GW -1, GW -30, GW -59) shall be mailed to the following address:
