This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until April 30, 2011, shall void Permit No.
WQ0015714 issued December 31, 1998, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and
limitations:
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The surface 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.
2. 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.
3. 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 Division.

4. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is prohibited.
5. The following buffers shall be maintained:
a. 400 feet between wetted area and any residence or places of public assembly under separate
ownership,
b. 150 feet between wetted area and property lines,
c. 100 feet between wetted area and wells,
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.
6. The pump tank(s) shall have functional audible and visual high water alarms that are external to
any structure.
7. The disposal system shall be connected to a rain or moisture sensor that shall indicate when
wastewater application is not appropriate in accordance with Condition 11(4).

Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC), the Permittee
shall designate and employ a certified operator to be in responsible charge (ORC) and one or
more certified operator(s) to be back-up ORC(s) of the facilities in accordance with 15A NCAC
8G .0201. The ORC shall visit the facilities in accordance with 15A NCAC 8G .0204 or as
specified in this permit and shall comply with all other conditions specified in these rules.
3. A suitable year round vegetative cover shall be maintained.
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 irrigation field.
6. The application rate shall not exceed a cumulative loading of 22.48 inches over any twelve (12)
month period at an instantaneous application rate not to exceed 0.25 inches per hour.
7. 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.
8. No type of wastewater other than that from the McCall/Page residence shall be sprayed onto the
irrigation area.

9. No traffic or equipment shall be allowed on the disposal area except while installation occurs or
while normal maintenance is being performed.
10. The irrigation field shall be fenced with at least a two -strand wire fence.
11. Wastewater treatment units open to the atmosphere shall have restricted access and pump
control panels shall be locked.
12. The Permittee is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the entire treatment and
disposal system including, but not limited to, the following items:
a. The septic tank shall be checked annually and pumped out as needed. The septic tank
effluent biter shall be checked and cleaned at the same frequency of the septic tank.

1. Any monitoring deemed necessary by the Division to insure surface and ground water
protection will be established and an acceptable sampling reporting schedule shall be followed.
2. The Permittee shall maintain records of all maintenance performed on the system and irrigation
area, as required in Condition 11(12), for a minimum of five years. This information shall be
provided to the Division upon request.
3. Noncompliance Notification:
The Permittee shall report by telephone to the Raleigh Regional Office, telephone number 919-
791-4200, as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours or on the next working day

a. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that renders the facility
incapable of adequate wastewater treatment, such as mechanical or electrical failures of
pumps, spray heads, etc.; or
b. Any failure of a pumping station or treatment facility resulting in a by-pass directly to

its merits and may or may not be approved.

wastewater treatment facilities shall be abandoned and all wastewater discharged into the
