Y Attachment A — The effluent monitoring requirements found in Condition L I.3. of the permit
issued March 8, 2005 is now in Attachment A. For your information, Attachment A has been
divided into four sampling Points Prior to Irrigation (PPI).
o PPI 001 lists the maximum daily flow based on a monthly average. Please note while the
treatment plant is rated at 1.050 million gallons per day (MGD), the monthly average has
a limit of 1.032 MGD, which is based upon the as -built reclaimed water utilization
information provided in the Engineering Certification dated August 26, 2004 from
Michael C. Wicker, PE.
o PPI 002 is the existing monitoring requirements for the reclaimed water utilization sites
(i.e., Fields 15 through 23). Please note the requirements to monitor Settleable Matter,
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), Total Organic Carbon (TOC) and Chloride have been
removed from your monitoring schedule. These monitoring requirements are effective
until June 30, 2010.
o PPI 003 are the effluent monitoring requirements for the reclaimed water utilization sites
(i.e., Fields 15 through 23) to take effect on July 1, 2010. Per the Division of Water
Quality's Aquifer Protection Section Domestic Wastewater Monitoring Policy, all non -
discharge systems are having their effluent monitoring schedules reevaluated for all
permit issuances after January 2007. Therefore, for reuse treatment systems treating and
disposing of more than 0.5 MGD, sampling frequencies shall be set at two times per
week, unless otherwise noted. Accordingly, sampling frequencies for BODS, Fecal
Coliform, Ammonia, Nitrate, Total Phosphorus (new parameter) and Total Suspended
Solids has increased to two sampling events per week. In addition, the pH sampling
frequency is now five times per week. Again, please note these requirements will not
take effect until July 1, 2010 and are standard for all non -discharge wastewater irrigation
/ reclaimed water utilization facilities with an average daily flow greater than 0.5 MG.
o PPI 004 only requires that the amount of wastewater effluent as a monthly average sent to
Fields 1 through 14 be reported. No effluent limits or sampling requirements are
necessary for the wastewater irrigation sites.
➢ Attachment B —The field information previously found in Condition 11.7. of the permit issued
March 8, 2005 is now in Attachment B.

NCAC 02T .0105(d) requires an updated site map to be submitted with the permit renewal
application.
H. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. The subject non -discharge facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times so there
is no discharge to surface waters, nor any contravention of groundwater or surface water standards.
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 or utilization areas to
adequately assimilate the effluent or reclaimed water, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective
actions including Division required actions, such as the construction of additional or replacement
wastewater treatment, disposal or utilization facilities.
2. 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. Effluent limitations shall not exceed those specified in Attachment A.
4. Application rates, whether hydraulic, nutrient or other pollutant, shall not exceed those specified in
Attachment B.
5. The irrigation and utilization system shall be connected to a rain or moisture sensor, which shall
indicate when effluent or reclaimed water application is not appropriate in accordance with
Conditions 111.4. and 111.5. of this permit.
6. The following shall be requirements for the reclaimed water distribution, storage and utilization
facilities:
a. All reclaimed water valves, storage facilities and outlets shall be tagged or labeled to warn the
public or employees that reclaimed water is not intended for drinking. Where appropriate, such
warning shall inform the public or employees to avoid contact with reclaimed water.
b. All reclaimed water piping, valves, outlets and other appurtenances shall be color -coded, taped or
otherwise marked to identify the source of the water as being reclaimed water.
i. All reclaimed water piping and appurtenances shall be either colored purple (i.e., Pantone
522) and embossed or integrally stamped or marked "CAUTION: RECLAIMED WATER —
DO NOT DRINK" or be installed with a purple (i.e., Pantone 522) identification tape or

10. The compliance and review boundaries for the reclaimed utilization sites (i.e., Fields 15 through 23)
are established at the property boundary. Any exceedance of standards at the compliance or review
boundary shall require action in accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0106.
11. The Permittee shall apply for a permit modification to establish a new compliance boundary prior to
any sale or transfer of property affecting a compliance boundary.
12. In accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0107(d), no wells, excluding Division approved monitoring
wells, shall be constructed within the compliance boundary except as provided for in 15A NCAC 02L
.0107(g).
13. Except as provided for in 15A NCAC 02L .0107(g), the Permittee shall ensure any landowner who is
not the Permittee and owns land within the compliance boundary shall execute and file with the
Brunswick County Register of Deeds an easement running with the land containing the following
items:
