amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
Mr. Mark Emamian and Mrs. Marilyn T. Carter
Orange County
FOR THE
continued operation of a 480 GPD wastewater spray irrigation wastewater treatment and disposal system
consisting of an existing 1,200 gallon baffled septic tank, an existing 1,200 gallon sand filter pump tank
with a 20 to 25 gpm capacity pump, a minimum total of 420 ft2 dual subsurface sand filters, a tablet
chlorinator, two 1,500 gallon storage/pump tanks (piped in series) with a 20 GPM irrigation pump, and a
13,500 ft2 spray irrigation area with eleven 2.2 gpm spray heads, and all associated piping, valves,
controls, alarms, and appurtenances to serve the Naylor Residence, with no discharge of wastes to the
surface waters, pursuant to the application received December 21, 1994, 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 May 31, 1999, 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
Environmental Management, 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 sand media of the subsurface sand filter(s) must comply with the Division's sand
specifications.
4. 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
Environmental Management.
5. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is
prohibited.

6. The following buffers shall be maintained, with the only buffer variances being as agreed
to in the Adjacent Landowner Agreements, that are stated as part of this permit:
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 treatment/storage units and any wells, and
g) 50 feet between treatment units and property lines.
* Due to hardship circumstances, specific buffer variances are granted as long as existing
and/or planted vegetation buffers are maintained between the spray field and adjoining
homes and property lines. Three existing houses will be within 400 feet of the subject
spray field. These houses will be at distances of 258, 265, and 275 feet. The subject
spray field is to be 10 feet from the Duke Forest property line. Waivers have been
signed by the effected property owners and are considered part of this permit. All
possible measures shall be taken with the vegetation buffers to prevent spray drift from
reaching adjoining homes and property lines.
II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS

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 lI, 111, 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.
3. A suitable vegetative cover of the spray field shall be maintained.
4. Irrigation shall not be performed during inclement weather or when the ground is in a
condition that will cause runoff.
S . Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent wastewater runoff from the spray field.
6. The application rate shall not exceed 20.8 inches per year at an instantaneous application
rate not to exceed 0.20 inches per hour.
7. 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.
8. No type of wastewater other than that from the Mr. Mark Emamian and Mrs. Marilyn T.
Carter Residence shall be sprayed onto the irrigation area.
9. In the event that the sprinkler heads fail to achieve the design diameter of 45 feet due to
obstructions, the obstructions shall be removed or the sprinkler heads shall be raised and
supported to such height that the design diameter is achieved.
10. No traffic or equipment shall be allowed on the disposal area except while installation
