FOR THE
construction and operation of 28,800 GPD groundwater remediation system consisting of a 30 gpm, 400
gallon aeration tank, a series of silt filters, and all necessary pumps, valves and appurtenances with
discharge of treated effluent to a 500 foot long by 2 foot wide by 6 foot deep infiltration trench to serve
Toastmasters, Incorporated with no discharge to the surface waters, pursuant to the application received
April 15, 1993 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 June 30, 1998, and shall be subject to
the following specified conditions and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS.
1. Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of this permitted facility, a
certification must be received from a professional engineer certifying that the permitted
facility has been installed in accordance with this permit and the approved plans and
specifications. Mail the Certification to the Permits and Engineering Unit, P.O. Box
29535, Raleigh, NC 27626-0535.
2. The Fayetteville Regional Office, telephone number [phone], shall be notified at
least forty-eight (48) hours in advance of operation of the installed facilities so that an in -
place inspection can be made. Such notification to the regional supervisor shall be made
during the normal office hours from 8:00 a.m. until 5.00 p.m. on Monday through Friday,
excluding State Holidays.
3. This permit shall become voidable if the soils fail to adequately absorb 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be rescinded unless the facilities are installed, maintained, and operated in a manner which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.

4. 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 as
may be required by this Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement
treatment or disposal facilities.
5. 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.
b. Any sludge generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed of in accordance with
General Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management.
7. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated groundwater from the treatment facilities is
prohibited.
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 8A, .0202. The ORC of the facility must visit each Class I facility at
least weekly and each Class II, III, and IV 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. Once
the facility is classified, the Permittee must submit a letter to the Certification Commission
which designates the operator in responsible charge within thirty days after the wastewater
treatment facilities are 50% complete.
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.
III. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Any monitoring deemed necessary by the Division of Environmental Management to insure
surface and 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 Fayetteville 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 wastewater treatment facility which results in the treatment of
significant amounts of wastes 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.
2

b . Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that render the facility
incapable of adequate wastewater treatment 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.
d. Any time that self -monitoring information indicates that the facility is not in
compliance with its permit limitations.
Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in letter
form within 15 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.

quality in compliance with subchapter 2L.
6. The Permittee shall develop isoconcentrations maps for trichloroethene in both the vertical
and horizontal directions using the groundwater data collected during the September
sampling event. A water level contour map shall also be developed from the September
sampling event. This data shall be submitted along with the groundwater data in October.
7. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring as deemed necessary by the Division of
Environmental Management shall be provided.
8. All components of the groundwater recovery, treatment and disposal system shall be
