In the event the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions
due to improper operation and maintenance, or failure of the irrigation areas to adequately assimilate
the effluent, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective actions including Division required actions,
such as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment or irrigation facilities.
This permit shall not relieve the Permittee of their responsibility for damages to groundwater or
surface water resulting from the operation of this facility.
3. All wells constructed for purposes of groundwater monitoring shall be constructed in accordance with
15A NCAC 02C .0108 (Standards of Construction for Wells Other than Water Supply), and any other
jurisdictional laws and regulations pertaining to well construction.

Application rates, whether hydraulic, nutrient or other pollutant, shall not exceed those specified in
Attachment B.
6. The compliance boundary for Application Zone 4 shall be specified in accordance with 15A NCAC
02L .0107(a). This disposal system was individually permitted prior to December 30, 1983;
therefore, the compliance boundary is established at either 500 feet from the effluent disposal area, or
at the property boundary, whichever is closest to the effluent disposal area. An exceedance of
groundwater standards at or beyond the compliance boundary is subject to remediation action
according to 15A NCAC 02L .0106(d)(2) as well as enforcement actions in accordance with North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A through 143-215.6C.

accordance with 15A NCAC 02L _0107(b). This disposal system was individually permitted on or
after December 30, 1983; therefore, the compliance boundary is established at either 250 feet from
the effluent disposal area, or 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is closest to the effluent
disposal area. An exceedance of groundwater standards at or beyond the compliance boundary is
subject to remediation action according to 15A NCAC 02L .0106(d)(2) as well as enforcement
actions in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A through 143-215.6C.
8. In accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0109, the review boundary is established midway between the
compliance boundary and the effluent disposal area. Any exceedance of groundwater standards at the
review boundary shall require action in accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0106.

1. 3 x Year monitoring shall be conducted in March, July & November; Annual monitoring shall be conducted every November.
2, The measurement of water levels shall be made prior to purging the wells. The depth to water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on the top of the casing. The measurement
of pH shall be made after purging and prior to sampling for the remaining parameters.
3, 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. The measuring points (top
of casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed relative to a common datum.
4. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) - In November only, analyze by one of the following methods:
a. Standard Method 6230D, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
b. Standard Method 6210D, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
c. EPA Method 9021, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
d. EPA Method 8260, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
e. Another method with prior approval by the Water Quality Permitting Section Chief
Any method used must meet the following qualifications;
a. A laboratory must be DWR certified to run any method used.
b. The method used must, at a minimum, include all the constituents listed in Table VIII of Standard Method 6230D.
c. The method used must provide a PQL of 0.5 µg/L or Iess that must be supported by laboratory proficiency studies as required by DWR Any constituents detected above the MDL but below
the PQL of 0.5 µg/L must be qualificd (estimated) and reported.
5. If any volatile organic compounds (VOC) are detected as a result of monitoring as provided in Attachment C, then the Washington Regional Office supervisor, telephone number [phone],
must be contacted immediately for further instructions regarding any additional follow-up analyses required.
6. If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/L are detected in any downgradient monitoring well, additional sampiing 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.
7. Monitoring wells shall be reported consistent with the nomenclature and location information provided in this attachment.
