constructed within the compliance boundary except as provided by 15A NCAC 02L .0107(g).
9. The 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 action in accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0106.
10. The facilities permitted herein must be constructed according to the following setbacks:
a. The setbacks for Irrigation sites shall be as follows (all distances in feet):

c. If any volatile organic compounds (VOC) are detected as a result of monitoring as provided in Attachment C, then the Winston-Salem Regional Office Aquifer Protection Supervisor, telephone
number (336) 771-5000, must be contacted immediately for further instructions regarding any additional follow-up analyses required.
f. 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/i, 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.
g. Monitoring wells shall be reported consistent with the nomenclature and location information provided in this attachment.
