Subject: Permit No. WQ0007144
The Capital Area YMCA
Camp Seafarer
Wastewater Spray Irrigation
Pamlico County
Dear Mr. McMillan:
In accordance with the renewal request received July 14, 1997, we are forwarding herewith Permit
No. WQ0007144, dated October 15, 1997, to The Capital Area YMCA for the continued operation of the
subject wastewater treatment and spray irrigation facilities.
This permit restricts the number of camp occupants to an average weekly camp occupancy limit of
750 persons per day. This limit is based on the calculated capacity of the active spray irrigation field and
to allow effective control of any wastewater storage build-up in the existing treatment lagoon. This limit
was calculated using the water balance, the disposal capacity, and the projected occupancy rate. If The
Capital Area YMCA wishes to increase the number of campers and staff above this limit, an engineering
study and a complete permit amendment application must be submitted to the Division for review. The
engineering study must demonstrate there is adequate long term storage and spray field capacity to handle
the additional wastewater, the proposed change will generate.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2002, shall void Permit
No. WQ0007144 issued December 31, 1996, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as
specified therein. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring requirements in this permit. Failure to
establish an adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required operational information will result
in future compliance problems.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the
right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of
this permit. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the
North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Drawer
27447, Raleigh, NC 27611-7447. Unless such demands are made this permit shall be final and binding.

Natural Resources and considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2002, shall void Permit
No. WQ0007144 issued December 31, 1996, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions
and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The spray irrigation facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times so that
there is no discharge to the surface waters, nor any contamination of ground waters which
will render them unsatisfactory for normal use. In the event that the facilities fail to
perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions or failure of the
irrigation area to adequately assimilate the wastewater, the Permittee shall take immediate
corrective actions including those actions that may be required by the Division of Water
Quality (Division), such as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater
treatment and disposal facilities.

2. 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.
The residuals generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed in accordance with
General Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the Division.
4. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is
prohibited.
5. The following buffers shall be maintained:
a) 400 feet between wetted area and any residence or places of public assembly under
separate ownership,
b) 150 feet between wetted area and property lines,
c) 100 feet between wetted area and wells,
d) 100 feet between wetted area and drainageways or surface water bodies,
e) 50 feet between wetted area and public right of ways,
f) 100 feet between wastewater treatment units and wells, and
g) 50 feet between wastewater treatment units and property lines.
Some of the buffers specified above may not have been included in previous permits for
this waste treatment and disposal system. These buffers are not intended to prohibit or
prevent modifications, which are required by the Division, to improve performance of the
existing treatment facility. These buffers do, however, apply to modifications of the
treatment and disposal facilities which are for the purpose of increasing the flow that is
tributary to the facility. These buffers do apply to any expansion or modification of the
spray irrigation areas and apply in instances in which the sale of property would cause any
of the buffers now complied with, for the treatment and disposal facilities, to be violated.
The applicant is advised that any modifications to the existing facilities will require a permit
modification.
b. The number of camp occupants shall be restricted to an averse weekly camp occupancy
limit of 750 persons per day.
7. If The Capital Area YMCA determines that utilization of the secondary spray field areas are
necessary, a permit amendment must be submitted to the Division for review. Prior to
these fields being used for spray irrigation, they shall be fenced.
8. The fencing of the primary spray irrigation field and stabilization/storage lagoons and the
establishment of a vegetative cover on the areas within the new forested sprayfield which
have been disturbed by construction shall be completed by October 31, 1997.
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 Water Pollution Control System Operators
