as amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
North Carolina State Parks
Durham County
FOR THE
continued operation of a 10,500 GPD wastewater collection, treatment, and spray irrigation system
consisting of approximately 345 linear feet of eight inch gravity sewer, approximately 225 linear feet of six
inch gravity sewer, a 2 hp pump station with duplex pumps and high water alarms, eight 5 hp pump
stations, each with duplex pumps and high water alarms, two 7.5 hp booster pump stations, each with
duplex pumps and high water alarms, approximately 17,650 linear feet of 2, 3, and 4 inch force main, a 7
million gallon stabilization lagoon, a 5 million gallon storage lagoon, a 3,200 gallon chlorine contact
chamber with a gaseous chlorinator, a 150 GPM irrigation pump station with dual, submersible pumps,
and a 7.1 acre two zone irrigation area to serve Rollingview State Recreation Area with no discharge of
wastes to the surface waters, pursuant to the application received June 19, 1991 and in conformity with the
project plan, specifications, and other supporting data subsequently filed and approved by the Department
of Environment, Health and Natural Resources and considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until January 31, 1997, and shall be subject
to the following specified conditions and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. The spray 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 absorb the wastewater, the Permittee shall take such immediate
corrective action to correct the problem, including actions as may be required by the
Division of Environmental Management.
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 sludge generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed of in accordance with
General Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management.

4. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is

c) 100 feet between wetted area and wells,
d) 100 feet between wetted area and drainageways or surface water bodies,
e) 50 feet between wetted area and public right of ways,
f) 100 feet between wastewater treatment units and wells,
g) 50 feet between wastewater treatment units and property lines.
t - These buffers were not included in previous permits for this waste treatment and
disposal system. Therefore, they are not intended to require modification of existing
facilities to obtain compliance. They do however apply to any modification of the
waste treatment facilities, any new construction within the area of influence of these
buffers, and the sale of property that would cause any of the buffers now complied
with to be violated.
IL QPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS

employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator to be in responsible charge of the
wastewater treatment facilities. The operator must hold a certificate of the type and grade at
least equivalent to the classification assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities by the
Certification Commission.
3. A suitable vegetative cover shall be 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 spray 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) 0.6 inches per acre per week and b) 0.2 inches per
hour.
8. No type of wastewater other than that from Rollingview State Recreation Area small be
sprayed onto the irrigation area.

controls may include the posting of signs showing the activities being conducted at each
site.
11. Two feet of freeboard shall be maintained in the lagoons at all times.

C. Three feet of cover (minimum) over the force main or the use of ferrous material
where three feet cannot be maintained.
f. Sufficient devices which will protect the pump station from vandals.
g. Flood protection if the pump station is located below the 100-year flood elevation.
III. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
1. Any monitoring (including groundwater, surface water, soil or plant tissue analyses)
deemed necessary by the Division of Environmental Management to insure surface and
ground water protection will be established and an acceptable sampling reporting schedule

following:
3

a. Any occurrence at the wastewater treatment facility which results in the treatment of
significant amounts of wastes which are abnormal in quantity or characteristic, such
as the dumping of the contents of a sludge digester, the known passage of a slug of
hazardous substance through the facility; or any other unusual circumstances.
b. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that render the facility
incapable of adequate wastewater treatment such as mechanical or electrical failures
of pumps, aerators, compressors, etc.

compliance with its permit limitations.
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

IV. GROUNDIYATER REQUIREMENTS
The five existing monitor wells may be abandoned. Abandonment of the wells shall be in
accordance with 15A NCAC 2C, Well Construction Standards.
2. The Compliance BoundaZX 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 143-215.6A.
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 lagoons and the spray field, 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 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.
3. Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be
provided.

V . INSPECTIONS
1. Adequate inspection, maintenance, and cleaning shall be provided by the Permittee to
insure proper operation of the subject facilities.
2. The Permittee or his designee shall inspect the wastewater treatment and disposal facilities
