July 14, 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 September 30, 2011, shall void Permit
No. WQ0005247 issued April 26, 2004, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and
limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
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 wastewater collection facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times. The
Permittee shall maintain compliance with an individual system -wide collection system permit for the
operation and maintenance of these facilities as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0227. If an individual
permit is not required, the following performance criteria shall be met as provided in 15A NCAC 2H
.0227:
a. The sewer system shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times to prevent discharge to
land or surface waters, and any contravention of the groundwater standards in 15A NCAC 2L
.0200 or the surface water standards in 15A NCAC 2B .0200.
b. A map of the sewer system shall be developed prior to January 1, 2004 and shall be actively
maintained.
c. An operation and maintenance plan shall be developed and implemented.
d. Pump stations that are not connected to a telemetry system shall be inspected every day (i.e. 365
days a year). Pump stations that are connected to a telemetry system shall be inspected at least
once per weep.
e. High-priority sewer lines shall be inspected at least once per every six-month period of time.
f. A general observation of the entire sewer system shall be conducted at least once per year.
g. Inspection and maintenance records shall be maintained for a period of at least three years.
h. Overflows and bypasses shall be reported to the appropriate Division regional office in
accordance with 15A NCAC 2B .0506(a), and public 'notice shall be provided as required by
North Carolina General Statute § 143-215.1 C.
3. 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.
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 treatment/storage units and any wells, and
g) 50 feet between 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 that 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 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. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this permit; 15A NCAC 2H .0200; the
Division's Gravity Sewer Design Criteria adopted February 12, 1996 as applicable; the Division's
Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Station and Force Mains adopted
June 1, 2000 as applicable; and other supporting materials 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.
8, In the event that the wastewater collection facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the
creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those
as may be required by this Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement facilities.
9. A copy of the construction record drawings shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for the life of
the wastewater collection facilities.
