FOR THE
continued operation of a 100,000 GPD wastewater treatment facility (previously approved for construction
and operation by the Division of Environmental Health) with the spray irrigation of the wastewater on sites
approved under Permit No. WQ0012151. The existing wastewater treatment facility consists of the
following:
a 25,000 gallon flow equalization basin with dual 100 GPM pumps and a 70 CFM blower (also used for

gallon effluent dosing tank with four (4) 140 GPM pumps and high water alarms, continuous on-line
monitoring and recording for turbidity, continuous on-line monitoring and recording for flow, and a 65
kW stand-by generator with automatic transfer switch, and
the construction and operation of approximately 3,170 linear feet of 4-inch force main to transfer the
treated wastewater from the WWTP to the existing force main (either the storage pond or 5-day effluent
pond once Permit Condition No. I 1 has been met) approved under Permit No. WQ0012151 and the
construction and operation of approximately 2,900 linear feet of 4-inch force main to transfer improperly
treated wastewater from the 5-day effluent pond back to the head of the described above. WWTP.
The wastewater treated above shall utilize the 5-day pond and storage pond previously approved for
construction under Permit No. WQ0012151 in accordance with Condition 19 below.
The wastewater shall be spray irrigated in accordance with Permit No. WQ0012151.
This wastewater treatment facility shall serve the St. James Plantation with no discharge of wastes to the
surface waters, pursuant to the application received July 29, 1996, 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 July 31, 2001, and shall be subject to
the following specified conditions and limitations:

I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of the proposed force mains
approved under this permit and the 5-day effluent storage pond approved for construction
under Permit No. WQ0012151, a certification must be received from a professional
engineer certifying that the permitted facility has been installed in accordance with Permit
No. WQ0012151, the approved plans and specifications, and other supporting materials.
Mail the Certification to the Water Quality Permits and Engineering Unit, P.O. Box 29535,
Raleigh, NC 27626-0535.
2. The Wilmington 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. 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 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 groundwaters resulting from the operation of this facility.
5. 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
Water Quality.
6. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is
prohibited.
7. The following buffers shall be maintained:
a) 100 feet between wetted area and water supply wells,
b) 100 feet between wetted area and waters classified as SA,
c) 100 feet between wastewater treatment units and wells,
d) 50 feet between wetted area and exterior property lines,
e) 50 feet between wastewater treatment units and property lines, and
f) 25 feet between wetted area and surface waters not classified as SA.
8. Public access to the land application sites shall be controlled during active site use. Such
controls may include the posting of signs showing the activities being conducted at each
site. A sign shall be posted in plain sight in the club house showing these activities.
9. The existing 50,000 GPD subsurface disposal system approved for operation by the
Division of Environmental Health shall be utilized as the 5-day effluent upset pond for the
disposal of improperly treated wastewater until wastewater flows to the existing wastewater
treatment facility reach an instantaneous maximum flow of 40, 000 GPD. Upon wastewater
flows reaching 40,000 GPD, St. James Plantation shall be placed under moratorium (no
further building permits) until the 5-day effluent pond approved for construction and
operation under Permit No. WQ0012151 has been constructed and the Engineer's
Certification for the 5-day effluent pond submitted to the Division.
2

10. Once Permit Condition No. 19 has been satisfied, residences may continue to tic into the
existing wastewater collection system until wastewater flows at the existing 100,000 GPD
wastewater treatment facility achieve an instantaneous maximum flow of 80,000 GPD. At
that time, construction must begin on the wastewater treatment facility approved for
construction and operation under Permit No. WQ0012151. Once wastewater flows at the
existing 100,000 GPD wastewater treatment facility achieve an instantaneous maximum
flow of 90,000 GPD , St. James Plantation shall be placed on moratorium (no further
building permits) until the wastewater treatment and disposal facilities approved for
construction and operation under Permit No. WQ0012151 has been constructed and the

2. A suitable vegetative cover shall be maintained on the spray irrigation areas.
3. 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 11,11I, 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

treatment facilities are 50% complete.
4. Irrigation shall not be performed during inclement weather or when the ground is in a
condition that will cause runoff.
5 _ Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent wastewater runoff from the spray field.
6. 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.

coliform (daily maximum concentration of 25 per 100 ml) or turbidity (instantaneous
maximum of 10 NTU) be exceeded, until such time that the problems associated with the
treatment capability of the wastewater treatment plant have been corrected. The wastewater
in the five-day holding pond shall be pumped back to the treatment plant for retreatment
prior to discharge to the storage pond.

10. in order to evaluate the long term suitability of the spray irrigation system under actual
conditions, a portion of the spray irrigation area shall be loaded at the design application
rate during the operation of the first phase of the treatment system. Data shall be gathered
during a full twelve months of operation verifying the design loading rate and storage
specifications. This procedure shall be coordinated with the Wilmington Regional Office
(telephone number [910] 395-3900).
