certification must be received from a professional engineer certifying that the permitted
facility has been installed in accordance with this permit, the approved plans and
specifications, and other supporting materials. Mail the Certification to the Water Quality
Permits and Engineering Unit, P.U. Box 29535, Raleigh, NC 2762E-0535.

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 Permi€tee 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.
Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is

b) 100 feet between wetted area and waters classified as SA,
c) 100 feet between wastewater treatment units and wells,
d) 50 feet between wastewater treattxzent units and property lines, and
e) 25 feet between wetted area and surface waiters not classified as SA.
Public access to the Iand application sites shall be controlled during active site use. Such
controls may include the posting of signs shoe-ing the activities being conducted at each
site. A sign shall be posted in plain sight in the club house showing these activities.

in the five-day holding pond shall be pumped back to the treatment plant for retreatment or
treated in the five-day pond prior to discharge to the storage pond.
���0NTITOFING AND RFPORT.TNG REQUIREMENTS

The Dr-cl.aration and Bylaws shall provide that such special assessments can be made as n=ssary at any
time.
7. • If a wastewater collection system and wastewater treatment and/or disposal facility provided by any city,
town, village, county, water and sewer authorities, or other unit of government shall hereinafter becorne
available to serve the Development, the DEVELOPER shall take such action as is necessary to cause the -
existing and future wastewater of the Development to be accepted and discharged into said governmental
system; and shall convey or transfer as much of the Disposal System, and such necessary easernents as the
governmental unit may require as condition of accepftg the Development's wastewater.
kecogni��g that it would be contrary to the public interest and to the public health, safety and welfare for
the Association to enter into voluntary dissolution without having made adequate provision for the continued
proper maintenance, repair and operation of its Disposal. System, the DEVELOPER shall provide in the
Association. Bylaws that the Association shall not enter into voluntary dissolution without first having
transf-rmd its said system and facilities to some p: rson, corporation or other entity acceptable to and
approved by the CONLWSSION by the issuance of a permit.

ip--rf k issuexi by the COr/1ctiLTSSION to the DEVELOPER for the construction, maintenance, repair and
operation of the Disposal System.

A004 DEFINITIONS
The following deflnhlons shall apply throughout this Subehaptar.
(1) Activated Carbon Bads. A physlcaVchemical method for reducing soluble organic material from wastewater effluent; The coiumn-type beds used in this
method will have a flow rate varying tram two to elght gallons per minute per square loot and may be either upfiow or downflow carbon beds. Carbon may or
may not be regenerated on the wastewater treatment plant she;
(2) Aerated Lagoons. A basin in which all solids are malnialned In suspension and by which biological oxidation or organic matter is reduced through artificially
accelerated transfer of oxygen on a flow -through basis;
(3) Aeration. A process of bringing about Inllmals contact between air or high purity oxygen in a liquid by spraying, agitation or dlffuslon;(3a) Extended
Aeration. An activated sludge process utilizing a minimum hydraulic detention time of 18 hours-
(4) Agriculturally managed site. Any site on which a crop is produced, managed, and harvested (Crop Includes grasses, grains, trees, etc.);
(5) Air Stripping. A process by which the ammonlum Ion is first convened to dissolved ammonia (pH adjustment) with the ammonla then released to the
atmosphere by physical means; or other similar processes which remove petroleum products such as benzene, toluene, and xylene;
(6) Carbon Regeneration. The regeneration of exhausted carbon by the use of a furnace to provide extremely high temperatures which volatilize and oxidize the
absorbed Impurities;
(7) Carbonaceous Stage. A st ige of wastewater treatment designed to achieve 'secondary' effluent Ilmfts;
(B) Centrifuge. A mechanical device In which centrifugal force Is used to separate solids from liquids or to separate liquids of ddferant dens'rias;
(9) Chemical Addition Systems The addhlon of chemlcai(s) to wastewater at an application point for purposes of Improving solids removal, pH ad]usiment,
alkaiinhy control, etc.; the capability to experiment with different chemicals and different application points to achieve a spacft resuh will be considered one
system; the capability to add chemical(s) to dual units will be rated as one system; capability to add a chemical at a dfffereni appflcatlon points for different
purposes will result In the systems being rated as separate systems;
(10) Chemical Sludge CondNoning. The addition of a chemical compound such as Ilme, ferric chloride, or a polymer to wet sludge to coalesce the mass prior to
Its appticatlon to a dewwering device;
(11) Closed Cycle Systems. Use of holding ponds or holding tanks for containment of wastewater containing inorganic, non -toxic materials from sand, gravel,
crushed stone or other similar operations. Such systems shall carry a maximum of two points regardless of pumping facilities or any other appurtenances;
(12) Combined Removal of Carbonaceous DOD and Nitrogenous Removal by Nitrification- A single stage system required to achieve permh effluent limits on BOD
and ammonia nitrogen within the same biological reactor,
(13) DecNorinallom The partial or complete reduction of residual chlorine In a liquid by any chemical or physical process;
(14) Denhrrfica6on Process. The conversion of nitrale-nitrogen to Ntrogen gas;
