No. WQ0005426 issued January 30, 1992, 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 assimilate the wastewater, the Permittee shall take immediate
convective 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 residuals generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed in accordance with
General Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality.
4. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is
prohibited.
5. 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 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, 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.
II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.

3. The Raleigh Regional Office, telephone number 919/ 57 1-4700 shall be, notified at least
forty-eight (48) hours prior to the construction of any new monitoring well so that an
inspection can be made of the monitoring well location. Such notification to the regional
groundwater supervisor shall be made during the normal office hours from 8:00 a.m. until
5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday, excluding state holidays.
4. Within sixty (60) days of completion of all new monitoring wells, the permittee shall
submit two original copies of a scaled topographic map (scale no greater than 1":100')
signed and sealed by a professional engineer or a state licensed land surveyor that indicates
all of the following information:
a. the location and identity of each monitoring well,
b. the location of the waste disposal system,
c. the location of all property boundaries,
d. the latitude and longitude of the established horizontal control monument,
e. the relative elevation of the top of the well casing (which shall be known as the
"measuring point"), and
f. the depth of water below the measuring point at the time the measuring point is
established.
The survey shall be conducted using approved practices outlined in North Carolina General
Statutes Chapter 89C and the North Carolina Administrative Code Title 21, Chapter 56.
The surveyor shall establish a horizontal control monument on the property of the waste
disposal system and determine the latitude and longitude of this horizontal control
monument to a horizontal positional accuracy of +/- 10 feet. All other features listed in a.
through e. above shall be surveyed relative to this horizontal control monument. The
positional accuracy of features listed in a. through e. above shall have a ratio of precision
not to exceed an error of closure of 1 foot per 10,000 feet of perimeter of the survey. Any
features located by the radial method will be located from a minimum of two points.
Horizontal control monument shall be installed in such a manner and made of such
materials that the monument will not be destroyed due to activities that may take place on
the property. The map shall also be surveyed using the North American Datum of 1983
coordinate system and shall indicate the datum on the map. All bearings or azimuths shall
be based on either the true or NAD 83 grid meridian. if a Global Positioning System
(GPS) is used to determine the latitude and longitude of the horizontal control monument, a
GPS receiver that has the capability to perform differential GPS shall be used and all data
collected by the GPS receiver will be differentially corrected.
The maps and any supporting documentation shall be sent to the Groundwater Section,
N.C. Division of Water Quality P.O. Box 29578 Raleigh, N.C. 27626-0578,
5. Within thirty (30) days of completion of all new well construction activities, a certification
must be received from a professional engineer certifying that the monitoring wells are
located and constructed in accordance with the Well Construction Standards (15A NCAC
2C) and this permit. This certification should be submitted with copies of the Well
Completion Form (GW -1) for each well. Mail this certification and the associated GW -1
forms to the Permits and Compliance Unit, Groundwater Section, P.O. Box 29578,
Raleigh, NC, 27626-0578.
6. For the initial sampling of the well(s) as specified elsewhere in the permit, the permittee
shall submit a copy of the GW -1 Form (Well Completion Form) with the Compliance
Monitoring Form (GW -59) for that well. Compliance Monitoring Forms that do not include
copies of the GW -1 form will be returned to the permittee without being processed. Failure
to submit these forms as required by this permit may result in the initiation of enforcement
activities pursuant to NC General Statutes 143-215.6.

7. The four existing monitor wells MW -Dl, MW -D2, MW -D3 and MW -D4 (as required in
the previous permit) shall be sampled initially within sixty days of the commencement of
operations at the facility and thereafter once every year thereafter, on the same month, for
the following parameters:
NO3 Ammonia Nitrogen
TDS TOC
PH Water Level
Chloride Fecal Coliforms
Volatile Organic Compounds - (by Method 6230D below)
Method 6230D (Capillary - Column), "Standard Methods For The Examination of
Water and Wastewater", 17th ed., 1989
The measurement of water Ievels must be made prior to sampling for the remaining
parameters. The depth to water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on
the top of the casing.
The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to
provide the relative elevation of the measuring point for each monitoring well.
If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/l 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, then the Raleigh
Regional Office Groundwater Supervisor, telephone number 919/ 571-4700 must be
contacted immediately for further instructions regarding any additional follow-up analyses
required. The results of all initial and follow-up analyses must be submitted
simultaneously.
The results of the sampling and analysis must be received on Form GW -59
(Groundwater Quality Monitoring: Compliance Report Form) by the
Groundwater Section, Permits and Compliance Unit, P.O. Box 29578
Raleigh, N.C. 27626-0578 on or before the last working day of the month
following the sampling month.
8. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified by regulations in
15A NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. The Compliance Boundary is
for the disposal system constructed after December 31, 1983 is established at either (1) 250
feet from the waste disposal area, or (2) 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is
closest to the waste disposal area. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or
beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to immediate remediation action in addition to
the penalty provisions applicable under General Statute 143-215.6A(a)(1).
In accordance with 15A NCAC 2L, a REVIEW BOUNDARY is established around the
disposal systems midway between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the
waste disposal area. Any exceedance of standards at the Review Boundary shall require
remediation action on the part of the permittee.
9. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shalt
be provided.
