Dear Mr. Brisson:
On August 5, 2009, Session Law 2009-406, entitled "An Act to Extend Certain Government
Approvals Affecting the Development of Real Property Within the State," was enacted by the General
Assembly and signed into law. The Act, known as the Permit Extension Act of 2009, extends the
expiration date of certain government approvals and permits. For additional information, the following
website ( http:/portal.nedenr.org/xveb/wqlaps/lau#extension ) can be viewed to address this statute and
affected DWQ permits.
Non -discharge permit, WQ0004227, issued by the Division of Water Quality falls within the
scope of this Act and is therefore being extended until 28 February 2015. Please note per your permit, a
renewal application must still be submitted six months in advance of the extended expiration date. If the
West Point Place needs to modify, upgrade, retrofit infrastructure at this facility which would require
modification of the permit; a permit application can be submitted for review and the necessary modified
permit issued.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please contact Division staff in the Fayetteville
Regional Office at [phone] or Central Office at [phone]. Thank you in advance for your
cooperation.

Dear Mr. Brisson:
In accordance with your permit renewal and modification application package received on April
6, 2005 and the additional information received on May 6, 2005 and September 21, 2006, we are
forwarding herewith a renewed and modified Permit No. WQ0004227, dated March 23, 2007, to West
Point Place, L.L.C. for the subject residuals land application program.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until February 29, 2012; shall void Permit
No. WQ0004227, issued on June 18, 2004; and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as
specified therein. Make note of this permit's expiration date and the fact that a permit renewal
application is due to the Division of Water Quality (Division) no later than six months prior to that date
(i.e., see Condition VI. 7.), as the Division does not send reminders to apply for permit renewal.
This permit is being issued to approve the operation of the residuals land application program for
West Point Place, LLC for another five-year permit cycle. It is the Division's understanding that West
Point Place, L.L.C. desires to maintain this permit as an approved method to dispose of residuals in the
fine solids settling pond from Alamac Knit Fabrics, Ine.'s operations at this facility. At this time the fate
of this site is uncertain (i.e., the site is currently being used as warehouse space). Should the wastewater
treatment facilities at this site reinstate operation or the nature of the wastewater being generated change
in terms of quality or quantity, the Division request that the Permittee approach the Division with a permit
modification application package.
If after the removal of the stored residuals the Permittee desires to rescind this permit, the
Division will require a closure plan for the fine solids settling pond be filed with the Aquifer Protection
Section, Fayetteville Regional Office before any closure activities are initiated.
As always, remember to take the time to review this permit thoroughly, as some of the
conditions contained therein may have been added, changed, or deleted since the last issuance. Pay
particular attention to the monitoring requirements in this permit. Failure to establish an adequate system
for collecting and maintaining the required operational information will result in future compliance
problems.

fertilizer, etc.) in the future, the Permittee shall obtain information pertaining to the volume
and analysis of the applied waste/nutrients from the landowner and/or lessee/operator of the
site. The Permittee shall be responsible for verifying the volume of residuals that may be
land applied to the site such that the plant available nitrogen (PAN) loading rate for the
specified crop (i.e., see Condition II. 13.) shall not be exceeded by all of the sources of PAN
applied. Should the maximum PAN loading rate be met or exceeded, then no additional
residuals shall be land applied to the site.

The Permittee shall apply for and receive a modification of this permit before land applying
residuals on any land application site that is to be established in a crop other than those listed
above. A maximum PAN loading rate for the desired crop shall be approved with the permit
modification.
If the land application sites are to be overseeded (e.g., bermuda grass in the summer and rye
grass in the winter with BOTH crops to receive residuals), then the second crop shall receive
an application of PAN at a rate of no greater than 50 pounds per acre per year. This practice
shall 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 land
applied to these sites because the PAN will essentially be returned to the soil.
Residuals shall not be land applied at rates greater than agronomic rates, unless authorized by
the Division.
14. Animals shall not be grazed on any land application site for 30 days after any residuals land
application event. Sites that are to be used for grazing shall have fencing that will be used to
prevent access after each event.
15. Food crops, feed crops, and fiber crops that do not come in contact with the residuals shall
not be harvested for 30 days after any residuals land application event.
W

16. Food crops with harvested parts that touch the residual/soil mixture and are totally above the
land surface (e.g., tobacco, melons, cucumbers, squash, etc.) shall not be harvested for 14
months after any residuals land application event.
17. Food crops with harvested parts below the surface of the land (i.e., root crops such as
potatoes, carrots, radishes, etc.) shall not be harvested for 20 months after any residuals land
application event when the residuals remain on the land surface for four months or longer
prior to incorporation into the soil.
18. Food crops with harvested parts below the surface of the land shall not be harvested for 38
months after any residuals land application event when the residuals remain on the land
surface for less than four months prior to incorporation into the soil.
19. Turf shall not be harvested for one year after any residuals land application event.
20. Adequate provisions shall be taken to prevent wind erosion and surface runoff from
conveying residuals from the land application sites onto adjacent properties or into any
surface waters.
21. Adequate procedures shall be provided to prevent surface runoff from carrying any land
applied or stored residuals into any surface waters.
22. Surface -applied residuals shall be plowed or disced within 24 hours after land application on
land application sites with no cover crop established.
23. For land application sites that are prone to flooding or within the 100-year flood elevation,
residuals shall be land applied only during periods of dry weather. The residuals shall be
incorporated into the soil, within 24 hours after land application.
24. Residuals shall not be land applied during inclement weather or until 24 hours following a
rainfall event of 0.5-inch or greater in 24 hours. Any emergency residuals land application
measures shall first be approved in writing by the Division.
25. Residuals shall not be land applied to any land application site that is flooded, frozen, or
snow-covered.
26. Appropriate measures shall be taken to control public access to the land application sites
during active site use and for the 12-month period following the last residuals land
application event. Such controls may include the posting of signs indicating the activities
being conducted at each site.
III. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
1. Any monitoring (i.e., including groundwater, surface water, residuals, soil, or plant tissue
analyses) deemed necessary by the Division to ensure protection of the environment shall be
established, and an acceptable sampling and reporting schedule shall be followed.

2. Residuals generated by each residuals source -generating facility listed in the most -recently -

IV. GROUNDWATER REOU.[REMENTS
1. Land Application Site Requirements:
a. Each land application site identified with a GW-A in the most recently -certified
Attachment B of this permit is dominated by soils with a mean seasonal high water table
greater than three feet below the land surface. Residuals land application events may
occur on these sites throughout the year.
b. Each land application site identified with a GW-B in the most recently -certified
Attachment B of this permit is dominated by soils with a mean seasonal high water table
between one and three feet below the land surface. Residual land application events on
these sites shall be prohibited from December through March, inclusive. No residuals
shall be land applied to these sites when the vertical separation between the depth of
residuals land application and the water table is less than three feet. The actual water
table depth for seasonally -restricted soils shall be verified by soil borings within 24 hours
prior to any residuals land application event that occurs from April through November,
inclusive. The number of borings advanced shall be sufficient to characterize water table
conditions across the land application site adequately. Any open borings shall be
properly filled with native soil, prior to the residuals land application event, to decrease
the chance of any residuals contaminating the groundwater.
2. Applicable Boundary Requirements:
a. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for residuals land application programs is specified
by regulations in 15A NCAC 2L (i.e., "Groundwater Classifications and Standards").
The Compliance Boundary for each land application site is established at either 250 feet
from the residuals land application area or 50 feet within the property boundary,
whichever is closest to the residuals land application area. An exceedance of
Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to
immediate remediation action according to 15A NCAC 2L .0106 (d)(2).
b. The REVIEW BOUNDARY shall be established around each land application site
midway between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the residuals land
application area. Any exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at the Review
Boundary shall require action in accordance with 15A NCAC 2L .0106 (d)(2).
3. Additional Requirements:
a. Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be
provided.
V. INSPECTIONS
Prior to each residuals land application event, the Permittee or his designee shall inspect the
residuals storage, transport, and application facilities to prevent malfunctions and
deterioration, operator errors, and discharges that may cause or lead to the release of wastes
to the environment, a threat to human health, or a nuisance. The Permittee shall maintain 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 be maintained by the Permittee for a period of five years from the date of the
inspection and shall be made available to the Division or other permitting authority, upon
request.
10

2. Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the Division may, upon
presentation of credentials, enter and inspect any property, premises, or place on or related to
the land application sites or facilities at any reasonable time for the purpose of determining
compliance with this permit; may inspect or copy any records that must be kept under the
terms and conditions of this permit; and may obtain samples of groundwater, surface water,
or leachate.
VI. GENERAL CONDITIONS
This permit shall become voidable unless the residuals land application events are carried out
in accordance with the conditions of this permit, the supporting materials, and in the manner
approved by the Division.
2. This permit shall be effective only with respect to the nature and volume of residuals
described in the application and other supporting data.
3. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this permit may subject the
Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division in accordance with North Carolina
General Statutes § 143-215.6A through § 143-215.6C.
4. The annual administering and compliance fee shall be paid by the Permittee within 30 days
after being billed by the Division. Failure to pay the fee accordingly may cause the Division
to initiate action to revoke this permit, as specified by 15 NCAC 2H .0205 (c)(4).
5. The issuance of this permit does not preclude the Permittee from complying with any and all
statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies
(i.e., local, state, and federal) which have jurisdiction, including, but not limited to, applicable
river buffer rules in 15A NCAC 2B .0200, soil erosion and sedimentation control
requirements in 15A NCAC Chapter 4 and under the Division's General Permit NCGO10000,
and any requirements pertaining to wetlands under 15A NCAC 2B .0200 and 15A NCAC
.0500.
6. This permit may be modified, revoked, and/or reissued to incorporate any conditions,
limitations and monitoring requirements the Division deems necessary in order to protect the
environment and public health adequately.
The Permittee, at least six months prior to the expiration of this permit, shall request its
extension. Upon receipt of the request, the Division shall review the adequacy of the
facilities and residuals land application program described therein, and if warranted, shall
extend the permit for such period of time and under such conditions and limitations as it may
deem appropriate.
8. This permit shall not be automatically transferable. In the event that there is a desire for the
residuals land application program to change ownership or to change the name of the
Permittee, a formal permit request shall be submitted to the Division with documentation
from the parties involved and other supporting materials as may be appropriate. The approval
of this request shall be considered on its merits and may or may not be approved.

Residuals Land Application Program
Land Application of Residual Solids (503 Exempt)
Bladen County
Dear Mr. Brisson:
In accordance with your permit name/ownership change request received on November 6, 2003
as well as the additional information received on June 1, 2004 and June 2, 2004, we are forwarding
herewith a modified Permit No. WQ0004227, dated June 18, 2004, to West Point Place, L.L.C. for the
subject residuals land application program.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until August 31, 2005; shall void Permit
No. WQ0004227, issued on September 5, 2000 to Alamac Knit Fabrics, hic.; and shall be subject to the
conditions and limitations as specified therein. Make note of this permit's expiration date and the fact
that a permit renewal application is due to the Division of Water Quality (Division) no later than six
months prior to that date (i.e., see Condition VI. 7.), as the Division does not send reminders to apply for
permit renewal.
This permit is being issued to reflect the fact that the ownership as well as permit compliance
responsibility of Alamac Knit Fabrics, Inc.'s Elizabethtown, NC Plant site transferred to West Point
Place, L.L.C. on August 1, 2003. It is the Division's understanding that West Point Place, L.L.C. desires
to keep this permit active so that there is an approved method to dispose of residuals that remain in the
fine solids settling pond. For these reasons, the Division has modified this permit to allow the land
application of only those residuals that retrain in that pond. Although the bulk of the residuals in the
pond remains from Alamac Knit Fabrics, Inc.'s operations, a limited volume of domestic wastewater
continues to be discharged for stabilization/settling prior to disposal through an existing NPDES permit.
Therefore, a requirement to demonstrate compliance with pathogen reduction standards has been added to
this permit. Finally, at this time the fate of the site is uncertain (i.e., the site is currently being used as
warehouse space). Should the wastewater treatment facilities at the site reinstate operation or the nature
of the wastewater being generated change in terms of quantity or quality, the Division respectfully
requests that the Permittee approach the Division with a permit modification application package.

The Water Quality Section of the Division's Fayetteville Regional Office reports that municipal
sanitary sewer service may exist near to the site. If the site continues to produce small amounts of
domestic wastewater only, West Point Place, L.L.C. may want to consider a connection to this service so
that it may apply for a formal rescission of this and other water quality permits. Note that, however, the
Division will require successful closure of the fine solids settling pond after successful removal of the
stored residuals and before the permit rescissions may be granted. A copy of the .Division's pond closure
guidance is enclosed herein for future use and reference. The Permittee shall contact the Division's
Fayetteville Regional Office for review and approval of the final pond closure plan (i.e., including
removal of any remaining water and residuals) before any activities associated with the plan are
initiated.
As always, remember to take the time to review this permit thoroughly, as some of the
conditions contained therein may have been added, changed, or deleted since the last issuance. Pay
particular attention to the monitoring requirements in this permit. Failure to establish an adequate system
for collecting and maintaining the required operational information will result in future compliance
problems.
If any parts, requirements, and/or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have
the right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within 30 days following receipt of this
permit. This request shall be in the from of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North
Carolina General Statutes and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings at 6714 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714. Unless such demands are made, this permit shall be final
and binding.
If you need any additional information concerning this matter, please contact Ms. Shannon Mohr
Thornburg by telephone at [phone], extension 353, or via e-mail at
[e-mail].

6.0, on all land application sites onto which residuals are land applied to ensure optimum
yield for the crops specified in Condition II. 13. The agronomist shall provide information
on the pH best suited for the specified crop and the soil type.
10. Should any of the residuals generated by the residuals source -generating facilities listed in
the most recently -certified Attachment A of this permit contain a high salt content (i.e., high
sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) of five or higher), the exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP)
or other method as approved by the Division, using the results from the annual soils analysis
as required by this permit, shall be monitored on all of the land application sites. The local
Cooperative Extension Office, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the
Natural Resource Conservation Service, a North Carolina -licensed Soil Scientist, or other
agronomist shall review the results and make recommendations regarding soil amendments
(e.g., gypsum, etc.) or other ameliorative mechanism for maintaining the integrity of the site
in terms of suitability for land application of residuals and maintaining conditions conducive
to crop growth. The Permittee shall implement such recommendations accordingly and shall
maintain written records of each monitoring event that includes details of the sites covered
and rate of soil amendment application.
11. Prior to land applying residuals to any land application site that has previously received or is
intended to receive animal waste (e.g., poultry litter, etc.) or other source of nutrients (e.g.,
fertilizer, etc.) in the future, the Permittee shall obtain information pertaining to the volume
and analysis of the applied waste/nutrients from the landowner and/or lessee/operator of the
site. The Permittee shall be responsible for verifying the volume of residuals that may be
land applied to the site such that the plant available nitrogen (PAN) loading rate for the
specified crop (i.e., see Condition 11. 13.) shall not be exceeded by all of the sources of PAN
applied. Should the maximum PAN loading rate be met or exceeded, then no additional
residuals shall be land applied to the site.
F1

12. A suitable vegetative cover, as listed in Condition II. 13., shall be maintained on land
application sites onto which residuals are land applied in accordance with the crop
management plan outlined by the local Cooperative Extension Office, the Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, or other
agronomist and as approved by the Division.
II Residuals and other sources of PAN shall be land applied to all land application sites at
agronomic rates in accordance with the crop management plan outlined by the local
Cooperative Extension Office, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer
Services, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, or other agronomist. Under no
circumstances shall the following PAN loading rates land applied to any site exceed the
following for the specified crops:

The Permittee shall apply for and receive a modification of this permit before land applying
residuals on any land application site that is to be established in a crop other than those listed
above. A maximum PAN loading rate for the desired crop shall be approved with the permit
modification.
If the land application sites are to be overseeded (e.g., bermuda grass in the summer and rye
grass in the winter with BOTH crops to receive residuals), then the second crop shall receive
an application of PAN at a rate of no greater than 50 pounds per acre per year. This practice
shall 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 Iand
applied to these sites because the PAN will essentially be returned to the soil.
Residuals shall not be land applied at rates greater than agronomic rates, unless authorized by
the Division.
14. Animals shall not be grazed on any land application site for 30 days after any residuals land
application event. ' Sites that are to be used for grazing shall have fencing that will be used to
prevent access after each event.
15. Food crops, feed crops, and fiber crops that do not come in contact with the residuals shall
not be harvested for 30 days after any residuals land application event.
5

16. Food crops with harvested parts that touch the residual/soil mixture and are totally above the
land surface (e.g., tobacco, melons, cucumbers, squash, etc.) shall not be harvested for 14
months after any residuals land application event.
17. Food crops with harvested parts below the surface of the land (i.e., root crops such as
potatoes, carrots, radishes, etc.) shall not be harvested for 20 months after any residuals land
application event when, the residuals remain on the land surface for four months or longer
prior to incorporation into the soil.
18. Food crops with harvested parts below the surface of the land shall not be harvested for 38
months after any residuals land application event when the residuals remain on the land
surface for less than four months prior to incorporation into the soil.
19. Turf shall not be harvested for one year after any residuals land application event.
20. Adequate provisions shall be taken to prevent wind erosion and surface runoff from
conveying residuals from the land application sites onto adjacent properties or into any
surface waters.
21. Adequate procedures shall be provided to prevent surface runoff from carrying any land
applied or stored residuals into any surface waters.
22. Surface -applied residuals shall be plowed or disced within 24 hours after land application on
land application sites with no cover crop established.
23. For land application sites that are prone to flooding or within the 100-year flood elevation,
residuals shall be land applied only during periods of dry weather. The residuals shall be
incorporated into the soil within 24 hours after land application.
24. Residuals shall not be land applied during inclement weather or until 24 hours following a
rainfall event of 0.5-inch or greater in 24 hours. Any emergency residuals land application
measures shall first be approved in writing by the Division.
25. Residuals shall not be land applied to any land application site that is flooded, frozen, or
snow-covered.
26. Appropriate measures shall be taken to control public access to the land application sites
during active site use and for the 12-month period following the last residuals land
application event. Such controls may include the posting of signs indicating the activities
being conducted at each site.
111. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
Land Application Site Requirements:
a. Each land application site identified with a GW-A in the most recently -certified
Attachment B of this permit is dominated by soils with a mean seasonal high water table
greater than three feet below the land surface. Residuals land application events may
occur on these sites throughout the year.
b. Each land application site identified with a GW-B in the most recently -certified
Attachment B of this permit is dominated by soils with a mean seasonal high water table
between one and three feet below the land surface. Residual land application events on
these sites shall be prohibited from December through March, inclusive. No residuals
shall be land applied to these sites when the vertical separation between the depth of
residuals land application and the water table is less than three feet. The actual water
table depth for seasonally -restricted soils shall be verified by soil borings within 24 hours
prior to any residuals land application event that occurs from April through November,
inclusive. The number of borings advanced shall be sufficient to characterize water table
conditions across the land application site adequately. Any open borings shall be
properly filled with native soil, prior to the residuals land application event, to decrease
the chance of any residuals contaminating the groundwater.
2. Applicable Boundary Requirements:
a. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for residuals land application programs is specified
by regulations in 15A NCAC 2L (i.e., "Groundwater Classifications and Standards").
The Compliance Boundary for each land application site is established at either 250 feet
from the residuals land application area or 50 feet within the property boundary,
whichever is closest to the residuals land application area. An exceedance of
Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to
immediate remediation action according to 15A NCAC 2L .0106 (d)(2).
b. The REVIEW BOUNDARY shall be established around each Iand application site
midway between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the residuals land
application area. Any exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at the Review
Boundary shall require action in accordance with 15A NCAC 2L .0106 (d)(2).
Additional Requirements:
a_ Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be
provided.
V. INSPECTIONS
1. Prior to each residuals land application event, the Permittee or his designee shall inspect the
residuals storage, transport, and application facilities to prevent malfunctions and
deterioration, operator errors, and discharges that may cause or lead to the release of wastes
to the environment, a threat to human health, or a nuisance. The Permittee shall maintain 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 be maintained by the Permittee for a period of five years from the date of the
inspection and shall be made available to the Division or other permitting authority, upon
request.

IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
The four (4) existing monitoring wells shall be sampled every March, July, and
November for the following parameters:
NO3 (10.0)
TOC
SO4 (250.0)
Water Level
Total Suspended Solids
TDS (500.0)
pH ( 6.5-8.5 standard units)
Chloride (250.0)
Fecal Coliforms (1/100 ml)
Volatile Organic Compounds - In November only (by Method I or Method 2
below)
Method 1: Method 6230D ( Capillary - Column), - "Standard Methods for
the Examination of Water and Wastewater", 17th edition, 1989
Method 2: Method 502.2 " Methods for the Determination of Organic
Compounds in Drinking Water", United States Environmental
Protection Agency - 600/4-88/039
The measurement of water level must be made prior to sampling for the remaining
parameters.
'The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be
surveyed relative to mean sea level (M.S.L.). The depth of the water in each well
shall be measured from the surveyed point on the top of the casing. The water level
elevations shall then be determined relative to (M.S.L.).
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]. Unless otherwise noted, the
concentrations are given in parts per million.
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, or the equivalent
method 502.2, then. EPA methods 604 and 611 must also be run to detect other
organic compounds which may be present. The results of all analysis specified in
the monitoring requirements, including 604 and 611 if required, must be submitted
simultaneously
The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent to the N.C. Division of
Environmental Management on Form OW-59 (Compliance Monitoring Report
Form) every April, August, and December.
2. Along with the March 1991 sampling, all four monitoring wells shall be sampled for
one time only for the following metals:
Chromium (0.05) Copper (1.0)
Lead (0.05) Cadmium (0.005)

The Compliance Boundary 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 Groundwater Quality Standards
beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to penalty provisions applicable under
General 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 Compliance
Boundary.
For facilities permitted on or after December 30, 1983, the Compliance Boundary is
established at the lesser of 250 feet from the perimeter of waste disposal, or 50 feet
within the property boundary.
If the title to any property which may affect the location of the Compliance Boundary
is changed, the permittee shall notify the Division Director within 14 days. The
Director shall then establish a modified Compliance Boundary which will be done as
a modification to the Permit.
The REVIEW BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified by regulations in 15
NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. A R E V I E W
BOUNDARY is established around disposal systems midway between the
Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of 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.
3. No land application of wastewater shall take place when the seasonal high water
table is less than three feet below the surface of the land.
4. Any groundwater quality monitoring as deemed necessary by the Division of
Environmental Management shall be provided.

The measurement of water level must be made prior to sampling for the remaining
parameters.
The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to
provide relative elevations of the measuring point for each of the monitoring wells. (The
previously required M.S.L. survey may be used, if applicable.) The depth of water in each
well shall be measured from the surveyed point on the top of the casing.
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 "microorganisms,
natural organic and/or synthetic organic compounds" 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, or the equivalent method
502.2, then EPA methods 604 and 611 must also be run to detect other organic compounds
which may be present. The results of all analysis specified in the monitoring requirements,
including 604 and 611 if required, must be submitted simultaneously.
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
