This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until February 28, 2002, shall void Permit
No. WQ0006149 issued August 27, 1992, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and
limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. This permit shall become voidable if the soils fail to adequately assimilate the wastes and
may be rescinded unless the facilities are installed, maintained, and operated in a manner
which will protect the assigned water quality standards of the surface waters and ground
waters.
2. In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of
nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those
actions that may be required by this Division, such as the construction of additional or
replacement treatment or disposal facilities.
3. 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.
4. Any 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.
5. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated groundwater from the treatment facilities is
prohibited.

II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. Upon classification of the facility by the Certification Commission, the Permittee shall
employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator to be in responsible charge (ORC) of
the wastewater treatment facilities. The operator must hold a certificate of the type and
grade at least equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the wastewater
treatment facilities by the Certification Commission. The Permittee must also employ a
certified back-up operator of the appropriate type and grade to comply with the conditions
of Title 15A, Chapter SA, .0202. The ORC of the facility must visit each Class I facility at
least weekly and each Class 11, 111, and W facility at least daily, excluding weekends and

facility and must comply with all other conditions of Title 15A, Chapter SA, .0202.
3. 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.
IIL MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

ground water protection will be established and an acceptable sampling reporting schedule
shall be followed.
2. Noncompliance Notification:
The Permittee shall report by telephone to the Raleigh Regional Office, telephone number
[phone], as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours or on the next
working day following the occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the
following:
a. Any occurrence at the groundwater remediation facility which results in the treatment of
significant amounts of contaminated groundwaters which are abnormal in quantity or
characteristic, such as the dumping of the contents of a basin or tank, 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 renders the
groundwater treatment and disposal system incapable of adequate treatment and
disposal, such as mechanical or electrical failures of pumps, aerators, compressors,
etc.;
c. Any failure of a pumping station, sewer line, or treatment facility resulting in a by-pass
directly to receiving waters without treatment of all or any portion of the influent to
such station or facility; or
d. Any time that self-monitoring information indicates that the groundwater treatment and
disposal system is not in compliance with any specified permit limitations.
Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in letter
form within five (5) days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report must
outline the actions taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem does not recur.

I V . GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
The influent and effluent from the treatment system shall be sampled monthly for the
parameters specified below:
EPA Method 602 including Xylenes and EPA Method 610
or
Standard Method 6230D and EPA Method 610
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.

Attachment A, shall be sampled every June and December for the following parameters:
EPA Method 602 including Xylenes and EPA Method 610
or
Standard Method 6230D and EPA Method 610
The measurement of water levels 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.
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

possible and reported to the Raleigh Regional Office within 48 hours.
7- The groundwater treatment system shall consistently achieve at least a treatment efficiency
below 15A NCAC 2L Groundwater Quality Standards, prior to discharge to the infiltration
gallery. If the treatment system fails to consistently achieve this standard, additional
treatment units or changes in operational methods, may be required.
8. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall

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.
V. INSPECTIONS
Adequate inspection, maintenance and cleaning shall be provided by the Permittee to insure
proper operation of the subject facilities.

or related to the disposal site or facility at any reasonable time for the purpose of
determining compliance with this permit, may inspect or copy any records that must be
maintained under the terms and conditions of this permit, and may obtain samples of
groundwater, surface water, or leachate.
