depth to water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on the top of the casing.
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.
If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/1 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.
The results of the sampling and analysis must be received on Form GW-59 (Groundwater Quality
Monitoring: Compliance Report Form) by the Groundwater Section, Permits and Compliance Unit,
P.O. Box 29578 Raleigh, N.C. 27626-0578 on or before the last working day of the month following
the sampling month.

2. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified by regulations in I5A NCAC
2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. The Compliance Boundary is for the disposal system
constructed after December 31, 1983 is established at either (1) 250 feet from the waste disposal area,
or (2) 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is closest to the waste disposal area. An
exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to
immediate remediation action in addition to the penalty provisions applicable under General Statute
143-215.6A(a)(1).
In accordance with 15A NCAC 2L, a REVIEW BOUNDARY is established around the disposal
systems midway between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the waste disposal area. Any
exceedance of standards at the Review Boundary shall require remediation action on the part of the
Perm ittee.
Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be
provided.
4. Within sixty (60) days of completion of all monitoring wells, the permittee shall submit two original
copies of a scaled topographic map (scale no greater than V:100') signed and sealed by a professional
engineer or a state licensed Iand surveyor that indicates all of the following information:
a. the location and identity of each monitoring well,
b. the location of the waste disposal system,
c. the location of all property boundaries,
d. the latitude and longitude of the established horizontal control monument,
e. the relative elevation of the top of the well casing (which shall be known as the "measuring point"),
and
f. the depth of water below the measuring point at the time the measuring point is established.
The survey shall be conducted using approved practices outlined in North Carolina General Statutes
Chapter 89C and the North Carolina Administrative Code Title 21, Chapter 56. The surveyor shall
establish a horizontal control monument on the property of the waste disposal system and determine the
Iatitude and longitude of this horizontal control monument to a horizontal positional accuracy of +/- 10
feet. All other features listed in a. through e. above shall be surveyed relative to this horizontal control
monument. The positional accuracy of features listed in a. through e. above shall have a ratio of
precision not to exceed an error of closure of I foot per 10,000 feet of perimeter of the survey. Any
features located by the radial method will be located from a minimum of two points. Horizontal
control monument shall be installed in such a manner and made of such materials that the monument
will not be destroyed due to activities that may take place on the property. The map shall also be
surveyed using the North American Datum of I983 coordinate system and shall indicate the datum on
the map. All bearings or azimuths shall be based on either the true or NAD 83 grid meridian. If a
Global Positioning System (GPS) is used to determine the latitude and longitude of the horizontal
control monument, a GPS receiver that has the capability to perform differential GPS shall be used and
all data collected by the GPS receiver will be differentially corrected.
The maps and any supporting documentation shall be sent to the Permits and Compliance Unit,
Groundwater Section, P.O. Box 29578, Raleigh, NC, 27626-0578,
