installation and housing of the chlorine tanks and the venturi injection system;
➢ Oriental Wastewater Treatment Facility: repair of existing dykes, placement of fill to increase
lagoon depth, conversion of the existing facultative lagoon to a 3-cell partial mix aerated lagoon
system, and increase the treatment capacity from 200,000 GPD to 400,000 GPD.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until December 31, 2019, shall void Permit
No. WQ0013348 issued January 21, 2015, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified
therein. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring requirements listed in Attachments A, B and C
for they may differ from the previous permit issuance. Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required operational information shall result in future compliance problems.
For your convenience, customized electronic copies of your facility's NDMR and NDAR-1
reporting forms are available for download at: htt:ll ortal.ncdenr.or web/w la s/lau/re ortin .
Please note the following permit conditions have been removed since the last permit issuance
dated January 21, 2015:

➢ OId Condition. III.8. —This condition is not applicable because the facility is not subject to the
15A NCAC 02H .0400 Coastal Area Rules.
Please note the following permit conditions are new since the last permit issuance dated
January 21, 2015:
➢ Permit Description is updated to include the proposed modifications to the Oriental lagoon
system and the Bayboro Wastewater Treatment Facility.
➢ Condition II.10. —This condition requires the Permittee to apply for a permit modification to
establish a new compliance boundary if any sale or transfer of property affects the existing
compliance boundary.
➢ Condition I1.11.d. —This condition contains setbacks for the expanding and new wastewater
treatment facilities.
➢ Attachment A -- Effluent monitoring parameters and locations have changed. PPI-001 through
PPI-006 have been established. Influent and effluent monitoring for the Oriental WWTF (pre
and post modifications) include PPI-001 through PPL-003 and for the Bayboro WWTF include
PPI-004 and PPI-005. PPI-006 is for monitoring the Storage Lagoon irrigation effluent. Only
flow and BOD monitoring are now required for the Oriental and Bayboro facilities with most
of the monitoring parameters confined to PPI-006, including four new parameters (Total
Nitrogen, Total Phosphorus, Chloride, and Total Dissolved Solids).
➢ Attachment C — The table is updated to include groundwater standard for Ammonia (which
became effective in 2010).
If any parts, requirements or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, the Permittee

compliance boundary and the effluent disposal area. Any exceedance of groundwater standards at the
review boundary shall require action in accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0106. [15A NCAC 02L
.0106, 02L .0108]

a storage structure, etc.) outside normal business hours shall be reported to the Division's Emergency
Response personnel at telephone number [phone], [phone], or [phone]. Persons
reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in letter form within five days

wastewater treatment and irrigation facilities. [15A NCAC 02T .0108(b)]
2. The Permittee or their designee shall inspect the wastewater treatment and irrigation facilities to prevent
malfunctions, facility deterioration and operator errors resulting in discharges, which may cause the
release of wastes to the environment, a threat to human health or a public nuisance. The Permittee shall
maintain an inspection log that includes, at a minimum, the date and time of inspection, observations
made, and any maintenance, repairs, or corrective actions taken. The Permittee shall maintain this
inspection log for a period of five years from the date of the inspection, and this log shall be made
available to the Division upon request. [15A NCAC 02T .0108(b)]

any property, premises or place on or related to the wastewater treatment and irrigation facilities
permitted herein at any reasonable time for the purpose of determining compliance with this permit;
may inspect or copy any records required to be maintained under the terms and conditions of this permit,
and may collect groundwater, surface water or leachate samples. [G.S. 143-21.5.3(a)(2)]

1. 3 x Year monitoring shall be conducted in March, July & November; Annual monitoring shall be conducted every November.
2. The measurement of water levels shall be made prior to purging the wells. The depth to water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on the top of the casing. The measurement of
pH shall be made after purging and prior to sampling for the remaining parameters.
3. The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to provide the relative elevation of the measuring point for each monitoring well. The measuring points (top of
casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed relative to a common datum.
4. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) - In November only, analyze by one of the following methods:
a. Standard Method 6230D, PQL at 0.5 pg/L or less
b. Standard Method 6210D, PQL at 0.5 pg/L or less
c_ EPA Method 8021, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 pg/L or less
d. EPA Method 8260, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 pg/L or less
C. Another method with prior approval by the Water Quality Permitting Section Chief
Any method used must meet the following qualifications:
a. A laboratory must be DWR certified to run any method used.
b. The method used must, at a minimum, include all the constituents listed in Table VIII of Standard Method 6230D.
c. The method used must provide a PQL of 0.5 pg/i, or less that must be supported by laboratory proficiency studies as required by DWR. Any constituents detected above the MDL but below
the PQL of 0.5 pg/L must be qualified (estimated) and reported.
5. If any volatile organic compounds (VOC) are detected as a result of monitoring as provided in Attachment C, then the Washington Regional Office supervisor, telephone number [phone],
must be contacted immediately for further instructions regarding any additional follow-up analyses required.
6. If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/L are detected in any downgradient monitoring well, additional sampling and analysis must be conducted to identify the individual constituents comprising
this TOC concentration. If the TOC concentration as measured in the background monitor well exceeds 10 mg/L, this concentration will be taken to represent the naturally occurring TOC
concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring TOC concentration in the downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling and analysis as described above.
7. Monitoring wells shall be reported consistent with the nomenclature and location information provided in attached figures and this attachment.
