Parameter Effluent Limitations Monitoring Sampling
monLhly aygxageFrequency Pin
Flow daily influent or effluent
BODS, mg/l 20 2/month effluent
Total Suspended
Solids, mg/l 10 2/month effluent
Fecal Coliform 1000/100ml 2/month effluent
NH3 as N 2/month effluent
Chlorine Residual daily effluent
NO3as N quarterly effluent
TOXannually, in Nov. effluent
All monitoring data shall be submitted monthly to the Washington Regional Office no later
than thirty (30) days following the end monitoring month.
30. Prior to beginning waste disposal operations, five (5) monitor wells, one (1) upgradient and
four (4) downgradient, must be installed to monitor groundwater quality. The location and
construction details for these wells must be approved by the Washington Regional Office,
from which a well construction permit must be obtained.
31.
v
32.
The monitor wells must be sampled initially after construction (and prior to waste disposal
operations) and thereafter every April, July, September and November for the following
parameters:
NO3
TDS
Total Coliforms
Chloride
Water Level's
Ammonia Nitrogen
TOC
pH
TOX (in Nov. only)
*The measurement of water level must be made prior to sampling for the remaining l
parameters.
If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mgll 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 TQC 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.
33. The analytical methods used for TOX must be capable of detecting the total of all halogenated
organic compounds present at a concentration of 5.0 parts per billion (ppb) or greater. In the
event that a TOX concentration. of 5.0 ppb or greater is detected, any individual halogenated
organic compound(s) present at a concentration at or above the method detection limit (MDL)
must be identified and quantified utilizing EPA methods 601, 602, 604, and 611.

34.% The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent to the N.C. Division of Environmental
V Management on Form GW -59 (Compliance Monitoring Report Form) by the last day of the
month following the months in which sampling is required.
35. The Perimeter of Compliance delineated on the attached site plan for the disposal system is
specified by regulations in 15 NCAC 2L, Classifications and Water Quality Standards
applicable to the groundwater of North Carolina. An exceedance of Ground water quality
standards beyond the perimeter of Compliance is subject to penalty provisions applicable
under Statute 143-215.6(1)a. The sale of property, by the Permittee, which is within or
contiguous to the disposal system site may alter location of the Perimeter of Compliance.
36. J For facilities permitted on or after December 30, 1983, the compliance perimeter is
established at the lesser of 250 feet from the disposal fields, or 50 feet within the property
boundary.
37. If the title to any property which may affect the boundary of the Perimeter of Compliance is
changed, the permittee shall notify the Division Director within 14 days. The Director shall
then establish a modified Perimeter of Compliance which will be done as a modification to
the Permit.
38. Any additional groundwater duality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall
be provided.
39. Within six (6) months of permit issuance the Permittee shall submit a Contingency Plan to the
Division which details measures that will be taken to avoid adversely impacting water supply
wells if contamination is detected between the line sink on the south side of the low pressure
pipe disposal fields and the property line. The measure(s) proposed must be supported by
predictive calculations, as necessary, to demonstrate effectiveness.
40. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this permit may subject the
Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division of Environmental Management in
accordance with North Carolina General Statutes 143-215.6.
41. The annual administering and compliance fee must be paid by the Permittee within thirty (30)
