RALEIGH
SURFACE IRRIGATION SYSTEM PERMIT
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
Rollingview Marina, Inc.
Durham County
FOR THE
continued operation of 1,500-gallon per day wastewater treatment and spray irrigation facilities, consisting
of the following minimum components. two 1,500-gallon septic tanks in series; a 1,314-square foot
recirculating sand filter; a tablet chlorinator with a 140-gallon chlorine contact chamber; a 3,793-gallon
primary basin and a 31,087-gallon storage basin, both lined with a 20-mil synthetic liner; a 17-gallon per
minute pump station with audible and visual alarms; a 1.45-acre spray irrigation field; and all associated
piping, valves, controls, and appurtenances necessary to make complete and operational wastewater
treatment and spray irrigation facilities. The above -described wastewater treatment and spray irrigation
disposal facilities are intended to serve Rollingview Marina, including 212 boat slips, a snack bar, two
public restrooms, and a manager's residence, with no discharge of wastes to surface waters, pursuant to the
permit renewal application received on September 12, 2006, 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, 2011, shall void Permit
No. WQ0001189 issued April 29, 2002, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and
limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The surface 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, such as the construction of additional or replacement
wastewater treatment and disposal facilities.
2. 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.
3. 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.

4. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is prohibited.
5. 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 drainage ways 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 that 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 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
1. The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. Upon classification of the wastewater treatment and irrigation facilities by the Water 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 8G .0201. The ORC shall visit
the facilities in accordance with 15A NCAC 8G .0204 or as specified in this permit and shall comply
with all other conditions specified in these rules.
3. A suitable year round vegetative cover shall be maintained.
4. 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.
5. The application rates onto the wetted area of the spray irrigation facilities shall not exceed the
following:

The cumulative application rate shall be equivalent to the loading of wastewater effluent over any
12-month period.
6. No type of wastewater other than that from Rollingview Marina shall be irrigated onto the irrigation
area.

7. Irrigation shall not be performed during inclement weather or when the ground is in a condition that
will cause runoff.
8. Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent wastewater runoff from the irrigation field.
9. No traffic or equipment shall be allowed on the disposal area except while installation occurs or while
normal maintenance is being performed.
10. Public access to the land application sites shall be controlled during active site use. Such controls
may include the posting of signs showing the activities being conducted at each site.
11. Due to its small size and shallow design, freeboard in the primary basin associated with the
wastewater treatment and spray irrigation facilities shall not be less than one foot at any time.
Freeboard in the storage basin associated with the facilities shall not be less than two feet at any time.
12. A protective vegetative cover shall be established and maintained on all earthen basin embankments
(outside toe of embankment to maximum pumping elevation), berms, pipe runs, erosion control areas,
and surface water diversions. Trees, shrubs, and other woody vegetation shall not be allowed to grow
on the earthen basin dikes or embankments. Earthen basin embankment areas shall be kept mowed or
otherwise controlled and accessible.
13. The chlorine tablets used in the disinfection facility shall be of the kind and type specified in the plans
and specifications approved by the Division.
III. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Any monitoring (including groundwater, surface water, soil or plant tissue analyses) deemed
necessary by the Division to insure surface and ground water protection will be established and an
acceptable sampling reporting schedule shall be followed.
2. Influent wastewater flow to the wastewater treatment facilities shall be continuously monitored and
recorded. Daily average flow values shall be reported on Form NDMR-1. Even though potable water
use is metered by the Permittee, a significant volume of potable water does not contribute to influent
wastewater flow generation. Therefore, influent wastewater flow may be estimated from records of
wastewater effluent pumping irrigation events (i.e., pump run times multiplied by the pump capacity).
Daily average flow values shall be calculated by dividing monthly flow volume pumped/irrigated by
the number of days between irrigation events. This variance from Division policy shall be allowed
provided that the pump capacity is verified every May through a pump drawdown test. Records of all
pump drawdown tests shall be submitted by the Permittee with the Form NDMR and Form NDAR for
the month of May and kept on file by the Permittee for a period of at least three years. At a
minimum, data to be included in this documentation shall include:
a. Pump drawdown test data,
b.Name of person performing the pump drawdown test, and
c. Percent difference from previous pump drawdown test.
The Division shall retain the right to require the installation of flow measuring device to continuously
monitor and record influent wastewater flow to the wastewater treatment facilities at any time it is
determined that the above -described method for estimating flow is not adequate for the Division's
purposes.

3. The wastewater effluent from the wastewater treatment facilities shall be monitored by the Pennittee
at the point following all wastewater treatment processes (i.e., including disinfection) and prior to
irrigation every March, July, and November for the following parameters:
BOD5
TSS
NO2-NO3
Fecal Colifonn
NH3 as N
TKN
pH
Total Phosphorous
4. The Permittee tracking the amount of wastewater disposed shall maintain adequate records. These
records shall include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following information:
a. Date of irrigation,
b. Volume of wastewater irrigated,
c. Field irrigated,
d. Length of time field is irrigated,
e. Continuous weekly, monthly, and year-to-date hydraulic (inches/acre) loadings for each field,
f. Weather conditions, and
g. Maintenance of cover crops.
5. Freeboard in the primary basin and the storage basin shall be recorded weekly.
6. Three (3) copies of all monitoring data [as specified in Conditions III(2) and III(3)] on Form NDMR-
1 and three (3) copies of all operation and disposal records [as specified in Conditions HI(4) and
M(5)] on Form NDAR-1 shall be submitted on or before the last day of the following month. All
information shall be submitted to the following address:
Division of Water Quality
Information Processing Unit
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
An annual representative soils analysis (Standard Soil Fertility Analysis) shall be conducted on each
irrigation field and the results maintained on file by the Permittee for a minimum of five years. The
Standard Soil Fertility Analysis shall include, but is not necessarily limited to, the following
parameters:

8. Noncompliance Notification:
The Permittee shall report by telephone to the Raleigh Regional Office, telephone number (919) 791-
4200, 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 following:
a. Any occurrence at the wastewater treatment facility which results in the treatment of significant
amounts of wastes which are abnormal in quantity or characteristic, such as the dumping of the
contents of a sludge digester; the known passage of a slug of hazardous substance through the
facility; or any other unusual circumstances.
b. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that render the facility incapable of
adequate wastewater treatment such as mechanical or electrical failures of pumps, aerators,
compressors, etc.
c. Any failure of a pumping station, sewer line, or treatment facility resulting in a by-pass directly to
receiving waters without treatment of all or any portion of the influent to such station or facility.
d. Any time that self -monitoring information indicates that the facility has gone out of compliance
with its permit limitations.
Occurrences outside normal business hours may also be reported to the Division's Emergency
Response personnel at telephone number [phone], [phone], or [phone].
Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in letter form within
five (5) days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report must outline the actions taken
or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem does not recur.
IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
1. Vertical Separation Requirements:
a. Waste application activities shall not occur when the vertical separation between the depth or
application and the water table is at less than one foot. Verification of the water table elevation
can be confirmed by water level readings obtained from groundwater monitoring well(s) near to
the wetted area of the spray irrigation facilities or auger boring(s), which shall be performed
within 24 hours, prior to application of wastewater effluent. Any open boring(s) shall be
properly filled with native soil prior to application to decrease the chance of any waste
contaminating the groundwater.
2. Applicable Boundaries:
a. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for the disposal system shall be as specified by regulations

established at either (1) 250 feet from the waste disposal area or (2) 50 feet within the property
boundary, whichever is closest to the waste disposal area. An exceedance of groundwater
quality standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary shall be subject to immediate
remediation action according to 15A NCAC 2L .0106(d)(2).
b. The REVIEW BOUNDARY shall be established around the disposal system midway between
the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the waste disposal area. Any exceedance of
groundwater quality standards at the Review Boundary shall require action in accordance with
15A NCAC 2L .0106(d)(1).
3. Other Requirements:
a. Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be provided.

V. INSPECTIONS
1. Adequate inspection, maintenance, and cleaning shall be provided by the Permittee to insure proper
operation of the subject facilities.
2. The Permittee or his designee shall inspect the wastewater treatment and disposal facilities to prevent
malfunctions and deterioration, operator errors and discharges which may cause or lead to the release
of wastes to the environment, a threat to human health, or a nuisance. The Permittee shall keep an
inspection log or summary including at least the date and time of inspection, observations made, and
any maintenance, repairs, or corrective actions taken by the Permittee. This log of inspections shall
