Dear Mr. and Mrs. Hawks:
H. Sullins, Director
Division
of Water Quality
In accordance with your permit renewal request received October 8, 2008, we are forwarding herewith Permit No.
WQ0008031, dated January 16, 2009, to Richard B. and Chasity Hawks for the construction and operation of the
subject single family wastewater treatment and surface irrigation facilities.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until December 31, 2013, shall void Permit No. WQ0008031
issued January 30, 2003, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein. Please note 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.
Please pay particular attention to permit condition 1.14 which requires submittal of a copy of "approved" plans and
specifications for the facility prior to the start of construction or the option of requesting a modification as long as a
permit modification is received prior to the start of construction.
An extension shall be requested, by the permittee, at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of this permit. Upon
receipt of the request the Commission will review the adequacy of the facility described therein and, if warranted,
will extend the permit for such period of time and under such conditions and limitations as it may deem appropriate.
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, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-6714. Unless such
demands are made this permit shall be final and binding.
Please contact Debra. Watts by email at debra.watts@ncmail.net or by phone at (919) 715-6699 if you need additional
information concerning this matter.

The surface irrigation facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times so that there
is no discharge to 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.
4. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages to surface
or ground waters resulting from the operation of this facility.
The sand media of the sand filter must comply with the Division's sand specifications. The Engineer's
Certification will serve as evidence that these specifications have been met.
6. A leakage test shall be performed on the septic tank and storage/pump tank(s) to insure that any
exfiltration occurs at a rate, which does not exceed twenty (20) gallons per twenty-four (24) hours per
1,000 gallons of tank capacity. The Engineer's Certification will serve as proof of compliance with
this condition.
7. If excavation into bedrock is required for the installation of the septic tank, sand filter, pump tank or
other components, the excavation shall be lined with a 10-mil synthetic liner.
A sanitary tee and filter shall be installed on the effluent pipe of the septic tank. The Engineer's
Certification will serve as evidence that these specifications have been met.
9. 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.
10. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is prohibited.
11, The following setbacks shall be maintained:
a. 400 feet between the wetted area and any residence or places of public assembly under separate
ownership,
b. 100 feet between the wetted area and property lines*,
c. 100 feet between wetted area and wells,
d. 100 feet between the wetted area and drainage ways or surface water bodies,
e. 50 feet between the wetted area and public right of ways,
f. 100 feet between the wetted area and any swimming pool,
g. 15 feet between the wetted area and any building foundation or basement,
h. 100 feet between the treatment/storage units and any wells, with the exception of monitoring
wells, and
i. 50 feet between the treatment units and property lines.
* Please be advised that the property line buffer has been reduced from 150 feet by a waiver
granted from the division. At least 100 feet of property line buffer must be maintained.
2
9. No traffic or equipment shall be allowed on the disposal area except while installation occurs or
while normal maintenance is being performed.
10. The irrigation field shall be fenced with at least a two -strand wire fence.
11. Wastewater treatment units open to the atmosphere shall have restricted access and pump control
panels shall be locked.
12. The Permittee is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the entire treatment and disposal
system including, but not limited to, the following items:
The septic tank shall be checked annually and pumped out as needed. The septic tank effluent
filter shall be checked and cleaned at the same frequency of the septic tank.
b. The tablet chlorinator shall be checked every week. Tablets shall be added to provide proper
chlorination. Only tablets manufactured for wastewater treatment shall be applied through the
chlorinator. Swimming pool chlorination tablets shall NOT be used.
c. The storage, pump, and alarm systems shall be inspected monthly. Any sludge or scum layer
accumulating in the pump/storage tank(s) shall be removed at the same interval as the septic tank
is cleaned out.
d. The system shall be inspected monthly to make certain of the proper operation of the spray
heads, that the vegetative growth allows a proper spray pattern, that the soil is assimilating the
disposed treated wastewater with no surface runoff, and that no objectionable odors are being
generated.
RI. MONITORING AND REPORTING RE MREMENTS
1. Any monitoring deemed necessary by the Division to insure surface and groundwater protection will
be established and an acceptable sampling reporting schedule shall be followed.
2. The Permittee shall maintain records of all maintenance performed on the system and irrigation area,
as required in Condition U(12) for a minimum of five years. This information shall be provided to
the Division upon request.
3. Noncompliance Notification:
The Permittee shall report by telephone to the Raleigh Regional Office, telephone number (919) 791-
4200, 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 process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that renders the facility incapable of
adequate wastewater treatment, such as mechanical or electrical failures of pumps, spray heads,
etc.; or
b. Any failure of a pumping station 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.
M
10. The Permittee, at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of this permit, shall request its extension.
Upon receipt of the request, the Commission will review the adequacy of the facilities described
therein, and if warranted, will extend the Permit for such period of time and under such conditions
and limitations, as it may deem appropriate.
Permit issued this the 16th day of January, 2009.
