and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of this permitted facility, a
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. If this project is to be com leted in phases
and partially certified, you shall retain the responsibility to track further construction
approved under the same permit, and shall provide a final certificate of completion once
the entire project has been completed. Mail the Certification to the Land Application
Unit, 1636 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1636.
2. The Raleigh Regional Office, telephone number (919) 791-4200, 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.
Page 2
The spray irrigation facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times so
that there is no discharge to 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 ground waters resulting from the operation of this facility.
5. The sand media of the dual, subsurface sand filters must comply with the Division's sand
specifications. The engineer's certification will serve as evidence that these
specifications have been met.
6. A leafage test shall be performed on the septic tank and storage/pump tank(s) to insure
that any exfiltration occurs at a rate, which does not exceed twenty (20) gallons per
twenty-four (24) hours per 1,000 gallons of tank capacity. The Engineer's Certification
will serve as proof of compliance with this condition (attached).
7. If excavation into bedrock is required for the installation of the septic tank or sand filter,
the pit shall be lined with a 10-mil synthetic liner.
8. A sanitary tee and filter shall be installed on the effluent pipe of the septic tank. The
Engineer's Certification will serve as evidence that these specifications have been met.

with General Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the Division..
10. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is
prohibited.

d. 100 feet between wetted area and drainage ways or surface water bodies,
e. 50 feet between wetted area and public right of ways,
f 100 feet between treatment/storage units and any wells, and
g. 50 feet between treatment units and property lines.
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
surface 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.
12. The pump tank(s) shall have functional audible and visual high water alarms that are
external to any structure.
