RALEIGH
SURFACE IRRIGATION SYSTEM PERMIT
In accordance with the provisions of Article 21 of Chapter 143, General Statutes of North Carolina as
amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
Wake County Wildlife Club
Durham County
FOR THE
continued operation of a 500 GPD spray irrigation wastewater treatment and disposal system consisting
of a 1,500 gallon baffled septic tank, a 435 square foot subsurface sand filter, a tablet chlorinator, a 2,500
gallon storage/pump tank, a 16 GPM irrigation pump, and a 17,000 square foot spray irrigation area to
serve the Wake County Wildlife Club, with no discharge of wastes to the surface waters, pursuant to the
application received March 16, 2006, and in conformity with the project plan, specifications, and other
supporting data subsequently filed and approved by the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources and considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until April 30, 2011, shall void Permit No.
WQ0005134 issued April 3, 2001, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and
limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. The surface irrigation facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times so that there
is no discharge to the surface waters, nor any contamination of ground waters, which will render them
unsatisfactory for normal use. In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including
the creation of nuisance conditions or failure of the irrigation area to adequately assimilate the
wastewater, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective actions including those actions that may be
required by the Division of Water Quality, such as the construction of additional or replacement
wastewater treatment and disposal facilities.
2. 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.
3. The sand media of the subsurface sand filter must comply with the Division's sand specifications.
4. The residuals generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed in accordance with General
Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the Division_
5. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is prohibited.

• 6. The following buffers shall be maintained:
a) 400 feet between wetted area and any residence or places of public assembly under separate
ownership,
b) 150 feet between wetted area and property lines,
c) 100 feet between wetted area and wells,
d) 100 feet between wetted area and drainage ways or surface water bodies,
e) 50 feet between wetted area and public right of ways,
f) 100 feet between wastewater treatment units and wells, and
g) 50 feet between wastewater treatment units and property lines.
Some of the buffers specified above may not have been included in previous permits for this waste
treatment and disposal system. These buffers are not intended to prohibit or prevent modifications,
which are required by the Division, to improve performance of the existing treatment facility. These
buffers do, however, apply to modifications of the treatment and disposal facilities, which are for the
purpose of increasing the flow that is tributary to the facility. These buffers do apply to any
expansion or modification of the spray irrigation areas and apply in instances in which the sale of
property would cause any of the buffers now complied with, for the treatment and disposal facilities,
to be violated. The applicant is advised that any modifications to the existing facilities will require a
permit modification.
7. A leakage test shall be performed on the septic tank and dosing tank to insure that any exfiltration
occurs at a rate, which does not exceed twenty (20) gallons per twenty-four (24) hours per 1,000
gallons of tank capacity. The engineer's certification will serve as proof of compliance with this
condition.
II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. Upon classification of the wastewater treatment and irrigation facilities by the Water Pollution
Control System Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC), the Permittee shall designate and
employ a certified operator to be in responsible charge (ORC) and one or more certified operator(s) to
be back-up ORC(s) of the facilities in accordance with 15A NCAC 8G .0201. The ORC shall visit
the facilities in accordance with 15A NCAC 8G .0204 or as specified in this permit and shall comply
with all other conditions specified in these rules.
3. A suitable year round vegetative cover shall be maintained.
4. Irrigation shall not be performed during inclement weather or when the ground is in a condition that
will cause runoff.
5. Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent wastewater runoff from the irrigation field.
6. 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.
7. The application rate shall not exceed a cumulative loading of 39 inches over any 12 month period at
an instantaneous application rate not to exceed 0.25 inches per hour.
No type of wastewater other than that from Wake County Wildlife Club shall be sprayed onto the
irrigation area.
9. No traffic or equipment shall be allowed on the disposal area except while installation occurs or while
normal maintenance is being performed.
10. The spray irrigation field shall be fenced with at least a two -strand wire fence.

11. The Permittee is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the entire treatment and disposal
system including, but not limited to, the following items:
a. The septic tank shall be checked annually and pumped out as needed.
b. The tablet chlorinator shall be checked every week. Tablets shall be added so as to provide
proper chlorination.
The storage, pump, and alarm systems shall be inspected weekly. The scum layer shall be
removed at the same interval as the septic tank is cleaned out.
d. The spray system shall be inspected weekly to make certain of the sprayers proper operation, that
the vegetative growth allows a proper spray pattern, that the soil is assimilating the disposed
treated wastewater with no surface runoff, and that no objectionable odors are being generated.
12. Public access to the land application sites shall be controlled during active site use. Such controls
may include the posting of signs showing the activities being conducted at each site.
13. Freeboard in the storage/pump tank shall not be less than two feet at any time.
III. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Any monitoring (including groundwater, surface water, soil or plant tissue analyses) deemed
necessary by the Division to insure surface and ground water protection will be established and an
acceptable sampling reporting schedule shall be followed.
2. The Permittee shall maintain records of all maintenance performed on the system and irrigation area,
as required in Condition H. I l., for a minimum of five years. This information shall be provided to
the Division, upon request.
3. Adequate records shall be maintained by the Permittee tracking the amount of wastewater disposed.
These records shall include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following information:
a. date of irrigation,
b. volume of wastewater irrigated,
c. length of time field is irrigated,
d. continuous weekly, monthly, and year-to-date hydraulic (inches/acre) loadings for each field,
e. weather conditions, and
f. maintenance of suitable vegetative ground cover.
4. Three (3) copies of all operation and disposal records (as specified in Condition I11. 3.) and any other
