Zf. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The reclaimed water utilization 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 utilization 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 (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.

Boundary shall require action in accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0106.
The Permittee shall apply for a permit modification prior to any sale or transfer of property that
affects a compliance boundary to establish a new compliance boundary.
8. In accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0107(d), no wells, other than monitoring wells, shall be
constructed within the compliance boundary except as provided by 15A NCAC 02L .0107(g).

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 that 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 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.
11. The following shall be requirements for any modifications to the existing or any new reclaimed water
distribution, storage, and utilization facilities:
a. All reclaimed water valves, storage facilities, and outlets shall be tagged or labeled to warn the
public or employees that the water is not intended for drinking. Where appropriate, such warning
shall inform the public or employees to avoid contact with the water.
b. All reclaimed water piping, valves, outlets, and other appurtenances shall be color -coded, taped,
or otherwise marked to identify the source of the water as being reclaimed water.
i. All reclaimed water piping and appurtenances shall be either colored purple (i.e., Panton
522) and embossed or integrally stamped or marked "CAUTION: RECLAIMED WATER —
DO NOT DRINK" or be installed with a purple (i.e., Pantone 522) identification tape or
polyethylene vinyl wrap. The warning shall be stamped on opposite sides of the pipe and
repeated every three feet or less.
ii. Identification tape shall be at least three inches wide and have white or black lettering on
purple (i.e., Pantone 522) field stating "CAUTION: RECLAIMED WATER -- DO NOT
DRINK." Identification tape shall be installed on top of reclaimed water pipelines, fastened
at least every 10 feet to each pipe length and run, continuously the entire length of the pipe.
c. All reclaimed water valves and outlets shall be of a type, or secured in a manner, that permits
operation by authorized personnel only.
d. Above -ground hose bibs (i.e., spigots or other hand -operated connections) shall not be present.
Hose bibs shall be located in locked below -grade vaults that shall be clearly labeled as being of
non -potable quality. As an alternative to the use of locked below -grade vaults with standard hose
bibs services, hose bibs, which can only be operated by a special tool or connected to a special
hose connection, may be placed in non -lockable underground services boxes clearly labeled as
non -potable water.
12. The Permittee shall maintain an active cross -connection control program that shall have the following
minimum requirements:
a. No direct cross -connections shall be allowed between the reclaimed water and potable water
systems.
b. A reduced pressure principle backflow preventer, an approved air gap separation, or other device
approved by the Division of Environmental Health shall be installed at the potable water service
connection to the use area where both reclaimed water and potable water are supplied to a
reclaimed water use area. The installation of the reduced pressure principle backflow prevention
device shall allow proper testing.
c. An air gap separation, approved and regularly inspected by the Permittee shall be provided
between the potable water and reclaimed water systems where potable water is used to
supplement a reclaimed water system.
13. All new reclaimed water distribution lines shall be located 10 feet horizontally from and 18 inches
below any water line where practicable. Where these separation distances cannot be met, the piping
and integrity testing procedures shall meet water main standards in accordance with 15A NCAC 18C.
WQ0012073 Version 3.0 Shell Version 070627 Page 3 of 9

14. All new reclaimed water distribution lines shall not be less than 100 feet from a well unless the piping
and integrity testing procedures meet water main standards in accordance with 15A NCAC 18C, but
no case shall they be less than 25 feet from a private well or 50 feet from a public well.
15. All new reclaimed water distribution lines shall meet the separation distances to sewer lines in
accordance with Rule .0305 of Subchapter 02T.
III. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times. The facilities shall be effectively
maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent the discharge of any wastewater

8. Public access to the reclaimed water utilization sites shall be controlled during active site use. Such
controls may include the posting of signs showing the activities being conducted at each site.
9. The residuals generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed / utilized in accordance with
15A NCAC 02T .1100. The Permittee shall maintain a residual management plan pursuant to 15A
NCAC 02T .0914.

and other woody vegetation shall not be allowed to grow on the earthen basin dikes or embankments.
Earthen basin embankment areas shall be kept mowed or otherwise controlled and accessible.
14. All wastewater shall be routed to the 5 -day holding pond should the limit for fecal coliform (daily
maximum concentration of 25 per 100 ml) or turbidity (instantaneous maximum of 10 NTU) be

treatment plant have been corrected. The wastewater in the 5 -day holding pond shall be pumped back
to the treatment plant for re -treatment or treated in the 5 -day pond prior to discharge to the storage
pond.
