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
SEVEN FIVE ONE INVESTIMENTS, LLC
Durham County
FOR THE
continued operation of a 360 gallon per day (GPD) surface irrigation wastewater treatment and disposal
system consisting of a 1,000 gallon septic tank, a 1,000 gallon pump tank with a 35 GPM simplex pump
and high water alarm, a 324 ft2 subsurface sand filter, a tablet chlorinator, a 60 gallon chlorine contact
tank, two (2) connected 1,000 gallon storage tanks with a 17.5 GPM simplex pump and high water alarm
and a 10,000 f 2 spray irrigation area and all associated piping and appurtenances, to serve the 323
Colvard Farms Road property with no discharge of wastes to the surface waters, pursuant to the
application received August 2, 2011, 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 January 31, 2014, shall void Permit No.
WQ0001280 issued February 7, 2005, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and
limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. The surface irrigation facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times
so that there is no discharge to surface waters, nor any contamination of ground waters,
which will render there 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 ground waters 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.
S. 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
surface 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.
6. The pump tank(s) shall have functional audible and visual high water alarms that are
external to any structure.
H. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. Upon classification of the wastewater treatment and surface irrigation facilities by 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. Irrigation shall not be performed during inclement weather or when the ground is in a
condition that will cause runoff.

5. Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent wastewater runoff from the irrigation field.
b. The application rate shall not exceed a cumulative loading of 20.8 inches over any twelve
(12) month period at an instantaneous application rate not to allow any runoff.
7, 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.
No type of wastewater other than that from the Wilson residence shall be sprayed onto
the irrigation area.
No traffic or equipment shall be allowed on the disposal area except while installation
occurs or while normal maintenance is being performed.
10. The irrigation field shall be fenced with at least a two -strand wire fence.
11. Wastewater treatment units open to the atmosphere shall have restricted access and pump
control panels shall be locked.
12. The Permittee is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the entire treatment
and disposal system including, but not limited to, the following items:
a. The septic tank shall be checked annually and pumped out as needed. The septic
tank effluent filter shall be checked and cleaned at the same frequency of the
septic tank.
b. The tablet chlorinator shall be checked every week. Tablets shall be added to
provide proper chlorination.
C. The storage, pump, and alarm systems shall be inspected monthly. The scum

the spray head(s), that the vegetative growth allows a proper spray pattern, that
the soil is assimilating the disposed treated wastewater with no surface runoff,
and that no objectionable odors are being generated.
IIL MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Any monitoring 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. The Permittee shall maintain records of all maintenance performed on the system and
irrigation area, as required in Condition II(12) for a minimum of five years. This
information shall be provided to the Division upon request.

number [phone], 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 process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that renders the
facility incapable of adequate wastewater treatment, such as mechanical or
electrical failures of pumps, spray heads, etc.; or
b. Any failure of a pumping station 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.
Occurrences outside normal business hours may also be reported to the Division's
