DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES
GROUNDWATER REMEDIATION PERMIT
In accordance with the provisions of Article 21 of Chapter 143, General Statutes of North Carolina as amended,
and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
Toastmaster, Inc.
Scotland County
FOR THE
continued operation of a 28,800 GPD groundwater remediation facility consisting of three (3) recovery wells with
pumps (RW-1, RW-2 and RW-3), a 400-gallon aeration tank, a series of silt filters, three (3) primary carbon
canisters, three (3) secondary carbon canisters and all necessary pumps, valves and piping with discharge of
treated effluent to a 500 feet long by 2 feet wide and b feet deep infiltration trench to remediate ground water
contaminated with chlorinated organic compounds, with no discharge of wastes to the surface waters, pursuant to
the application received June 20, 2013, and subsequent additional information received by the Division of Water
Resources (Division), and in conformity with the project plan, specifications, and other supporting data fled and
approved by the Division and considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from February 1, 2014 until January 31, 2019, shall void Permit Number
WQ0007798 issued February 15, 2005, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. The treated water discharged into the infiltration gallery must not cause a violation of Class GA Standards
for any constituent beyond the Compliance Boundary, nor cause the migration of the contamination into
unaffected areas. If the treatment system fails to consistently achieve this standard, additional treatment
units or changes in operational needs may be required-
2- This permit shall become voidable if the soils fail to adequately assimilate the remaining 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be rescinded unless the facilities are installed, maintained, and operated in a manner, which will protect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 and groundwaters. In the event that the facility fails to
perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions or failure of the injection zone to
adequately assimilate the injected fluid, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective actions including
those actions that may be required by the Division of Water Resources such as the repair, modification, or
abandonment of the injection facility. The Permittee may be required to reduce or eliminate tl.1e permitted
activity to protect the assigned water quality standards of surface and groundwaters.
The injection facility shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times so that there is no
contamination of groundwater which will render it unsatisfactory for normal use at Iocation(s) beyond the
Compliance Boundary.
WQ0007798p130906 Page 1 o5

4. 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.
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 Division.
6. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated groundwater from the treatment facilities is prohibited.
II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE RE UIREMENTS
The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent the
discharge of any wastewater resulting from the operation of this facility. The groundwater recovery,
treatment and disposal system shall be inspected weekly. If it is determined that the system is
malfunctioning or leading to the release of wastes to the environment, a threat to human health, or a
nuisance, all repairs should be made as soon as possible and reported to the Fayetteville Regional Office
(see Section VI. NONCOMPLIANCE NOTIFICATION). All components of the groundwater
recovery, treatment, and disposal system shall be properly weatherproofed to prevent freezing and failure
of the system.
2. Upon classification of the wastewater treatment and remediation facilities by the Water Pollution Control
System Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC), the Permittee shall designate and employ a
certified operator to be in responsible charge (ORC) and one or more certified operator(s) to be back-up
ORC(s) of the facilities in accordance with 15A NCAC SG .0201. The ORC shall visit the facilities in
accordance with 15A NCAC 8G .0204 or as specified in this permit and shall comply with all other
conditions specified in these rules.
The infiltration gallery shall be operated above the water table at all times.
4. If requested by the owner, the Division will consider remote monitoring in lieu of (frequency) physical
inspections, on a case -by -case basis, following at least two years of successful operation.
The Permittee shall maintain an inspection log or summary including at least the date and time of
inspection, observations made, and any maintenance, repairs, or corrective actions taken by the Permittee.
This log of inspections shall be maintained by the Permittee for a period of three years from the date of
the inspection and shall be made available to the Division or other permitting authority, upon request.
6. Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the Division may, upon presentation of
credentials, enter and inspect any property, premises or place on or related to the disposal site or facility at
any reasonable time for the purpose of determining compliance with this permit (including inspection,
observation, and sampling associated with injection and any related facilities as provided for in N.C.G_S.
87-90), 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, injection fluids, or leachate_
III. WELL CONSTRUCTION/ABANDONMENT CRITERIA
I. Any well that is no longer to be used for any purpose by the Permittee shall be abandoned in accordance
with the procedures specified in 15A NCAC 2C .0113(b)_
Iv. MONITORING REQUIREMENTS
i _ The influent (RW-1, RW-2 and RW-3 in proportionate quantities) and effluent from the treatment system

designation refers to the injectant substances and not to the contaminant plume.
2. The REVIEW BOUNDARY is established around the disposal systems midway between the Compliance
Boundary and the perimeter of the waste disposal area_ Any exceedance of Class GA Standards at the
Review Boundary may require action in accordance with 15A NCAC 2L .0106(d) (1). Please be aware
that the Review Boundary designation refers to the injectant substances and not to the contaminant plume.
