time and under such conditions and limitations as it may deem appropriate. Please note that Rule
15A NCAC 02T .0105(d) requires an updated site map to be submitted with the permit renewal
4. The subject wastewater treatment and disposal facilities shall be connected to an operational publicly
owned wastewater collection system within 180 days of its availability to the subject facilities, if the
subject wastewater treatment or disposal facilities are in noncompliance with the terms and conditions
of this non -discharge permit or the governing statutes or regulations. Prior to the initiation of these
connection activities, appropriate approval must be received from this Division.
1. The high -rate infiltration facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times so that
there is no discharge to the surface waters, nor any contravention of groundwater or surface water
standards. In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of
nuisance conditions due to improper operation and maintenance, or failure of the high -rate infiltration
area to adequately assimilate the wastewater, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective actions
including those actions that may be required by the Division, such as the construction of additional or

5. Effluent limitations shall not exceed those specified in Attachment A.
6. Application rates, whether hydraulic, nutrient, or other pollutant shall not exceed those specified in
Attachment B.
The compliance boundary for the disposal system is specified by rules in 15A NCAC 02L .0100,
Groundwater Classifications and Standards. This disposal system was individually permitted prior to
December 30, 1983; therefore, the compliance boundary is established at either 500 feet from the
waste disposal area, or at the property boundary, whichever is closest to the waste disposal area. An
exceedance of groundwater standards at or beyond the compliance boundary is subject to remediation
action according to 15A NCAC 02L .0106(d)(2) as well as enforcement actions in accordance with
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A through 143-215.6C.
The Permittee shall apply for a permit modification prior to any sale or transfer of property that
affects a compliance boundary to establish a new compliance boundary.
9. In accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0107(d), no wells, other than monitoring wells, shall be
constructed within the compliance boundary except as provided by 15A NCAC 02L .0107(g).
10. Except as provided for in 15A NCAC 02L .0107(g), the Permittee shall ensure that any landowner
who owns land within the compliance boundary, but who is not the Permittee, shall execute and file
with the Register of Deeds in the county in which the land is located an easement running with the
land that contains the following items:
a. A notice of the permit and number or other description as allowed in 15A NCAC 02L .0107(f)(1);
b. Prohibits construction and operation of water supply wells within the compliance boundary; and
c. Reserves the right of the Permittee or the State to enter the property within the compliance
boundary for purposes related to the permit.
The Director may terminate the easement when its purpose has been fulfilled or is no longer needed.
11. The review boundary is established around the disposal systems midway between the compliance
boundary and the perimeter of the waste disposal area. Any exceedance of standards at the review
boundary shall require action in accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0106.
12. The facilities permitted herein must be constructed according to the following setbacks. Please note
that the originally permitted system (prior to 1983) did not contain setbacks, therefore several
standard setbacks are not present in this permit. In an effort to comply with 15A NCAC 2T .0706, all
setbacks that can be met have been brought forward into this permit issuance:
a. The setbacks for high -rate infiltration sites shall be as follows (all distances in feet):
i. Any private or public water supply source:

loading rates of the green area. A "green area", as defined in 15A NCAC 02H .0404 (g)(7), is an area
suitable for waste disposal, either in its natural state or which has been modified by planting a
vegetative cover of grasses or low growing shrubbery.

Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC), the Permittee shall
designate and employ a certified operator to be in responsible charge (ORC) and one or more certified
operator(s) to be back-up ORC(s) of the facilities in accordance with 15A NCAC 08G .0200. The
ORC shall visit the facilities in accordance with 15A NCAC 08G .0200 or as specified in this permit
and shall comply with all other conditions specified in these rules.
3. Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent wastewater ponding or runoff from the high -rate
infiltration fields.
4. All waste application equipment shall be tested and calibrated at least once per permit cycle. Records
of the calibration must be maintained for five years.

1. 3 X year monitoring shall be conducted in February, June & October; Annual monitoring shall be conducted every October.
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 6210D, PQL at 0.5 µg/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 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 V1II of Standard Method 6230D.
c. The method used must provide a PQL of 0.5 µg/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 µg/L must be qualified (estimated) and reported.
5. 1f 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/1 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 I and this attachment.
