Groundwater Quality Standard at the time this permit was issued. Note, this parameter level shall
change accordingly if the groundwater standards change during the term of this permit.
a. After the wastewater in the storage pond has been monitored for two years at the frequency specified
above, the Permittee may submit a request to the Division for a permit modification to reduce the
frequency of this monitoring requirement. In no case, however, shall the frequency of this monitoring
be less than once per year.
b. If three verified (as described below) exceedanees of the Groundwater Quality Standards are detected
in the samples taken from the wastewater in the storage pond over the 5 year permit cycle, a
minimum of three (3) monitoring wells shall be installed to monitor groundwater quality near the
storage pond. The monitoring wells shall be sampled on a schedule to be determined by the Division
and for parameters to be determined by the Division. Note that a violation which is detected and
verified promptly by an additional sampling and testing event is only counted as one violation. In the
event the verification sampling provides a test result at or below the Groundwater Quality Standard
the original exceedance is presumed to be in error and will not be counted as one of the three allowed
exceedances.

If three verified exceedances of the Groundwater Quality Standards are detected over the life of the
facility in the samples taken from the monitoring wells, installed per permit requirement, the storage
pond shall be lined with a synthetic liner or other measures shall be taken to prevent contravention of
the Groundwater Quality Standards. A violation which is detected and verified promptly by an
additional sampling and testing event is only counted as one exceedance. In the event the verification
sampling provides a test result at or below the Groundwater Quality Standard the original violation is
presumed to be in error and will not be counted as one of the three allowed exceedance.
27. Analytical determinations made pursuant to the monitoring and reporting requirements of this permit shall
be made by a laboratory certified by the Division for the required parameter(s) under 15A NCAC 2H .0800
or 15A NCAC 2H .1100.

following address:
Division of Water Quality
Information Processing Unit

Updated blank forms (GW-1, GW-30, GW-59) may be downloaded from the Groundwater
Section's website at http://gvv.ehnr.state.ne.us/ or requested from the address mentioned above.
b. The results of the sampling and analysis must be received on Form GW-59 (Groundwater Quality
Monitoring: Compliance Report Form) by the Aquifer Protection Section (address listed in the
"Reporting / Documentation" section of the Groundwater Requirements), on or before the last
working day of the month following the sampling month. The data of all groundwater sampling
analyses required by the permit conditions must be reported using the most recent GW-59 form along
with attached copies of the laboratory analyses
29. Once per permit cycle (e.g. every 5 years), a survey of the depth of solids in the storage pond shall be
conducted. The Wilmington Regional Office (phone [phone] shall be -notified anytime the storage
capacity of the pond decreases to 80% of its original capacity.
