construction permit must be obtained.
The monitor wells must be sampled initially after construction (and prior to waste disposal
operations) and thereafter every April and November for the following parameters:
Purgeable Organics (EPA Method 624)
Water Level
The measurement of water level must be made prior to sampling,
The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent to the N.C. Division of
Environmental Management on Forth GW-59 (Compliance Monitoring Report Form) every
May and December.
The Compliance Boundary delineated for the disposal system is specified by regulations in
15 NCAC 2L, Classifications and Water Quality Standards applicable to the groundwater

Compliance Boundary is subject to penalty provisions applicable under General Statute
143-215.6(1)a. The sale of property, by the Permittee, which is within or contiguous to

exceeds the maximum allowable concentration of that substance at the REVIEW
BOUNDARY, as determined by monitoring, the Permittee shall either (i) demonstrate,
through predictive calculations or modeling, that natural site conditions, facility design and
operational controls will prevent a violation of standards at the Compliance Boundary; or,
(ii) submit a plan for the alteration of existing site conditions, facility design or operational
controls that will prevent a violation of standards at the Compliance Boundary, and
implement that plan upon its approval by the Director.
Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall
be provided.
