OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REOUIREMENTS
The facilities and application sites shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. A suitable vegetative cover, as listed in condition II 4, shall be maintained in accordance
with the crop management plan outlined by the local Extension Office of the Department of
Agriculture, or the Soil Conservation Service, or other agronomist, and approved by this
Division.
3. An acceptable pH must be maintained in the soil, residual and lime mixture, greater than
6.0, on all land application sites to insure optimum yield for the crop(s) specified below.
The agronomist shall provide information on the pH best suited for the specified crop and
the soil type.

If the approved land application sites are to be double cropped (i.e., a crop in the spring
and a second crop in the fall, with BOTH crops to receive wastewater residuals), then the
second crop shall receive an application of residuals at a rate at least 30% less than the
above PAN rates, due to the fact that organic nitrogen is mineralized slowly over time (i.e.,
a second crop consisting of small grain shall receive have a PAN application rate of no
greater than 70 lb./acre/yr.). This practice will be allowed as long as the second crop is to
be harvested. If the second crop is to be planted for erosion control only, and is to be tilled
into the soil, then no residuals shall be applied to these fields because the nitrogen will
essentially be returned to the soil.

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.
IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
Within 60 days of permit issued March 29, 1996, monitor well #2 (MW-2), shall be
abandoned in accordance with 15A NCAC 2C .0113 (Abandonment of Wells). A well
Abandonment record (form GW - 30, attached) must be submitted to the Washington
Regional Office upon abandonment of the monitor wells.
0

2. The eight (8) existing monitor wells (MW-1, MW-3, MW-4, MW-5, MW-6, MW-7, MW-
8, and MW-9) shall be sampled every June and December for the following parameters:
NO3 Ammonia Nitrogen
TDS TOC
pH Water Level
Chloride Fecal Coliforms
Zinc Copper
Volatile Organic Compounds - In December only (by Method I below)
Method 1: Method 6230D (Capillary - Column), "Standard Methods For The
Examination of Water and Wastewater", 17th ed., 1989
The measurement of water levels must be made prior to sampling for the remaining
parameters. The depth to water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on
the top of the casing.
The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to
provide the relative elevation of the measuring point for each monitoring well.
If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/1 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 TOC 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.
If any volatile organic compounds are detected by Method 6230D, then the Washington
Regional Office Groundwater Supervisor, telephone number 919/ 946-6481 must be
contacted immediately for further instructions regarding any additional follow-up analyses
required.The results of all initial and follow-up analyses must be submitted simultaneously.
The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent to the Groundwater Section, Permits
and Compliance Unit, P.O. Box 29578 Raleigh, N.C. 27626-0578 on Form GW-59
[Compliance Monitoring Report Form] every July and January.
3. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified by regulations in
15A NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. The Compliance Boundary is
for the disposal system constructed after December 31, 1983 is 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 is subject to immediate remediation action in addition to
the penalty provisions applicable under General Statute 143-215.6A(a)(1}
In accordance with 15A NCAC 2L, a REVIEW BOUNDARY is established around the
disposal systems midway between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the
waste disposal area. Any exceedance of standards at the Review Boundary shall require
remediation action on the part of the permittee.
4. Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be
provided.
5. No land application of waste activities shall be undertaken when the seasonal high water
table is less than three feet below land surface.
