discharge of wastes to the surface waters, pursuant to the renewal request received July 29, 1997, and in
conformity with the project plan, specifications, and other supporting data subsequently filed and
approved by the Department of Environment, Health and 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. WQ0007217 issued February 19, 1993, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and
limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. 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, 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.

3 . 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 North Carolina Division of
Water Quality.
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.
H. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
l . 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 8A, .0202. The ORC of the facility must visit each CIass I facility at
least weekly and each Class II, III, and 1V facility at least daily, excluding weekends and
holidays, and must properly manage and document daily operation and maintenance of the
facility and must comply with all other conditions of Title 15A, Chapter 8A, .0202.
3. A suitable vegetative cover shall be maintained.
4. Irrigation shall not be performed during inclement weather or when the ground is in a
condition that will cause runoff.
5. Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent wastewater runoff from the spray field.
6. 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.
7. The application rate shall not exceed a cumulative loading of 45.6 inches over any twelve
(12) month period at an instantaneous application rate not to exceed 0.214 inches per hour-
2

8. No type of wastewater other than that from the U. S. Naval Aerial Target Facilities at Piney
Island (BT-11) shall be sprayed onto the irrigation area.
9. No traffic or equipment shall be allowed on the disposal area except while installation
occurs or while normal maintenance is being performed.
10. Public access to the land application sites shall be controlled during active site use. Such
controls may include the posting of signs showing the activities being conducted at each
site.
11. Routine maintenance on at least a weekly basis must be performed on the sand filter units to
keep the surface free of vegetation and organic material. If clogging results in excessive
ponding of wastewater, the filter sand must be removed and replaced as necessary. The
sand must be maintained at a depth of at least 24 inches.
III. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUI_REMENTS
Any monitoring (including groundwater, surface water, soil or plant tissue analyses)
deemed necessary by the Division of Water Quality to insure surface and ground water
protection will be established and an acceptable sampling reporting schedule shall be
followed.

WQ0007240 Version 2.0 Shell Version 070531 Page 1 of 9

I. SCHEDULES [please review the entire permit for reporting, monitoring, and other on -going activities]
No later than six (6) months prior to the expiration of this permit, the Permittee shall request renewal
of this permit on official Division form(s). Upon receipt of the request, the Division will review the
adequacy of the facilities described therein, and if warranted, will renew the permit for such period of
time and under such conditions and limitations as it may deem appropriate. Please note that Rule
15A NCAC 02T .0105(d) requires an updated site map to be submitted with the permit renewal
application.
II. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The surface irrigation facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times so that there
is no discharge to the surface waters, nor any contravention of groundwater or surface water
standards. In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of
nuisance conditions due to improper operation and maintenance 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, 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 ground
or surface waters resulting from the operation of this facility.
All wells that are 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 state and local laws and regulations pertaining to well construction.
4. Effluent limitations shall not exceed those specified in Attachment A.
Application rate(s), whether hydraulic, nutrient, or other pollutant shall not exceed those specified in
Attachment B.
6. The compliance boundary for the disposal system is specified by rules in 15A NCAC 02L .0100,
Groundwater Classifications and Standards. This disposal system was individually permitted prior to
December 30, 1983 (Fields 01 and 02); therefore, the compliance boundary is established at either
500 feet from the waste disposal area, or at the property boundary, whichever is closest to the waste
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.
The compliance boundary for the disposal system is specified by rules in 15A NCAC 02L,
Groundwater Classifications and Standards. This disposal system was individually permitted on or
after December 30, 1983 (Zones 1 through 14); therefore, the compliance boundary is established at
either 250 feet from the waste disposal area, or 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is
closest to the waste 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.
The Division of Water Quality recognizes that the groundwater below the sites included in the design
of the spray field expansion has high levels of nitrate from former agricultural activities. Therefore
the Division recommends that Martin's take proactive measures beyond the minimum requirements
of this permit to restore degraded groundwater and even enhance the treatment of the waste stream to
aid in achieving this goal. In the event that groundwater conditions at the Compliance Boundary of
the waste disposal system indicate that this permitted activity is causing groundwater duality to
further degrade, corrective actions in accordance with 15A NCAC 2L 0106 (d) will be required.
