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 004 and 611 if required, must be submitted
simultaneously
The results of the sampling and anal�sis shall be sent to the N.C. Division of
Environmental Management on Form. GW-59 (Compliance Monitoring Report
Form) every April, August, and December,

2. The Compliance Boundary for the disposal system is specified by regulations in 15
NCAC 2L, Classifications and Watet 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 before December 30, 1983, the Compliance Boundary is
established at a distance 500 feet from the wastewater disposal facility, or the
property boundary, whichever is less.
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. REVIEW
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.
