plans and specifications. Mail the certification to the Permits and Engineering Unit,
P.O. Box 27687, Raleigh, NC 27611-7687.
2. The Raleigh Regional Office, phone no. 919/733-2314, shall be notified at
least forty-eight (48) hours in advance of backfilling of the installed facilities so that

through Friday, excluding State Holidays.
3. In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of
nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take such immediate corrective action as may
be required by this Division, including the construction of additional or replacement
wastewater treatment or disposal facilities.

4. 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.
5. This permit shall become voidable if the soils fail to adequately absorb the wastes
and may be rescinded unless the facilities are installed, maintained, and operated in a
manner which will protect the assigned water quality standards of the surface waters
and groundwaters.
6. Adequate measures shall be taken to divert storrnwater from the disposal area and
prevent wastewater runoff from the subsurface disposal field.
7. The sludge generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed of in
accordance with General Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner which is approved by
the North Carolina Division of Environmental. Management.
8. A usable reserve area shall be maintained for wastewater disposal. The reserve area
shall have the capability of accommodating the average daily flow of the facility
being served without exceeding the loading rates of the reserve area and shall meet
all required buffers.
9. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is
prohibited.
10. The following buffers shall be maintained:
a) 100 feet between disposal area and any public or private water supply including
wells
b) 100 feet between disposal area and "SA and SB" classified surface waters
c) 50 feet between disposal area and any stream, lake, river or natural drainageway
d) 50 feet between disposal area and property lines
e) 10 feet between disposal area and surface water interceptor drains or
diversions (upslope)
f) 25 feet between disposal area and surface water interceptor drains or diversions
(downslope) and groundwater drainage systems.

not be discharged into the disposal system.
12. The subsurface disposal system shall be utilized only for the disposal of wastewater
resulting from washing vehicle exteriors.
13. All components (piping, etc.) of these facilities shall be installed so that gravity
flows will be achieved throughout the system and will be installed at the elevations
and slopes indicated on the plans.
14. A leak test shall be performed on the tanks to insure that any exfiltration occurs at a
rate which does not exceed twenty gallons per twenty-four hours per 1,000 gallons
of tank capacity. The engineer's certification will serve as proof of this compliance.

11. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
I . The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. The application rates to the disposal field shall not exceed 0.3 GPD per square foot.
3. 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.
4. No traffic or equipment shall be allowed on the disposal area except while
installation occurs or while normal maintenance is being performed.
5. A suitable vegetative cover shall be maintained on the subsurface disposal area.
III. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
I . Any monitoring deemed necessary by the Division of Environmental Management to
insure surface and groundwater protection will be established and an acceptable
sampling reporting schedule shall be followed.
2. Prior to beginning waste disposal operations, two monitor wells, one upgradient and
one downgradient, shall be installed to monitor groundwater quality. The location
and construction details for these wells must be approved by the Raleigh Regional
Office, from which a well construction permit must be obtained.
3. The monitor wells shall be sampled initially after construction (and prior to waste
disposal operations) and thereafter every February, June, and September for the
following parameters,
Total Dissolved Solids (10.0)
Lead (0.05)
MBAS
pH (6.8-8.5 standard units)
Water Level *
Purgeable Halocarbons & Purgeable Aromatics **
* The measurement of water level must be made prior to sampling for the remaining
parameters.
** In September only, as per EPA methods 601 and 602 or other EPA methods with
comparable detection limits.
The numbers in parentheses represent the maximum allowable concentrations in
groundwater for the various analytical parameters, as specified in 15 NCAC 2L
[Groundwater Classifications and Standards].
The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent to the N.C. Division of
Environmental Management on Form GW -59 (Compliance Monitoring Report
Form) every March, July, and October.

the waste disposal area. When the concentration of any substance equals or 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.

dumping of the contents of a basin or tank; the known passage of a slug of
hazardous substance through the facility; or any other unusual circumstances.
Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in
letter form within 15 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.
