a The soil zone number listed in this table corresponds to those zones identified by the North
Carolina -licensed professional soil scientist in the May 2001 report entitled "Soil/Site
Evaluation for Establishment and Management of a Reuse Irrigation System for the City of
Goldsboro WWTP in Wayne County, North Carolina_"
The sprinkler identification system listed in this table identifies the location of any individual
sprinkler within the spray irrigation site. The number before the hyphen corresponds to the
irrigation zone (i.e., 16 total) as shown in the approved plans. The letter after the hyphen
corresponds to the location of each of the four sprinklers within the specific irrigation zone.
The letter is assigned consecutively to the sprinkler is a direction from east to west and north
to south across the zone. For example, Sprinkler No. 8-a is the northernmost and easternmost
sprinkler in Irrigation Zone No. 8, while Sprinkler No. 8-d is the southernmost and
westernmost sprinkler in Irrigation Zone No. 8. Each sprinkler or irrigation zone shall be
individually calibrated such that it does not cause the exceedance of the stipulated maximum
cumulative and instantaneous application rates for the most -restrictive soil zone that it impacts
(i.e., some sprinklers may impact area in more than one soil zone).
The cumulative application rate shall be equivalent to the loading of reclaimed water over any
12-month period.
d These sprinklers impact wetted areas in both Soil Zone No. 2 and Soil Zone No. 3. Either the
individual sprinkler or the irrigation zone as a whole shall be calibrated to irrigate reclaimed
water at Soil Zone No. 2 rates even though a portion of the wetted area is in Soil Zone No. 3.

The wetted areas of these sprinklers shall be adjusted such that they do not impact any area
that has been delineated as being within Soil Zone No. 1.

shall submit to the Division of Water Quality, Non -Discharge Compliance and Enforcement Unit,
1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 a detailed listing of all irrigation zones, wetted
acreage in each irrigation zone, and soil type (as noted above) in each irrigation zone. Irrigation
zones shall be delineated so as to match how they will be routinely operated and how disposal records
will be submitted by the Permittee.
No type of wastewater other than effluent from the Goldsboro Water Reclaimation Facility shall be
distributed, stored, or irrigated onto the irrigation area.
10. All wastewater shall be routed to the headworks of the Goldsboro Water Reclaimation Facility or
discharged in strict accordance with the conditions of the most recent issuance of NPDES Permit No.

turbidity (instantaneous maximum of 10 NTU) be exceeded, until such time that the problems
associated with the treatment capability of the wastewater treatment plant have been corrected.
11. The Permittee shall implement adequate measures to prevent reclaimed water runoff from the
irrigation sites, with the exception of known storm drainage grates within the Goldsboro Municipal
Golf Course that outlet to the stormwater drainage ditch.
12. The Permittee shall implement adequate measures to mitigate drift of airborne reclaimed water from
the "Farm" site during active use. Of special concern is the potential for drift from the site to impact
vehicular traffic along Dixie Trail and Westbrook Road. Therefore, the Permittee shall take the
following steps:
a. Install wind direction and velocity meters at the Goldsboro Water Reclamation Facility. The
information gathered from these meters shall be correlated with the observations/complaints of
airborne reclaimed water drift. The resultant data shall be used to establish a standard operating
procedure with respect to zone use and periods of irrigation.

Should the above steps fail to mitigate any airborne reclaimed water drift problem identified by the
Permittee or the Division, one or more of the following additional steps shall be implemented to
further mitigate or eliminate this problem:
a. Adjust sprinklers in those irrigation zones closest to Dixie Trail and Westbrook Road to reduce
their throw diameters.
b. Weave blocking slats into the fencing along the perimeters of the spray irrigation site
immediately adjacent to Dixie Trail and Westbrook Road.
c. Restrict irrigation periods for those irrigation zones closest to Dixie Trail and Westbrook Road to
night hours and other times of minimal vehicular traffic.
d. Restrict use of sprinklers in those irrigation zones closest to Dixie Trail and Westbrook Road
completely.
e. Plant rapid growth vegetation (e.g. Tulip Poplar or Leland Cypress) along the perimeters of the
spray irrigation site immediately adjacent to Dixie Trail and Westbrook Road.
III. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

level readings obtained from the piezometer well or by auger borings, which shall be done within 24
hours, prior to any waste disposal event. Any open borings shall be properly filled in with native soil
prior to initiating the waste disposal event in order to decrease the chance of groundwater
contamination.

provided.
Adequate inspection, maintenance, and cleaning shall be provided by the Permittee to insure proper
operation of the subject facilities.

2. The Permittee or his designee shall inspect the wastewater treatment and disposal facilities to prevent
malfunctions and deterioration, operator errors and discharges which may cause or lead to the release
of wastes to the environment, a threat to human health, or a nuisance. The Permittee shall keep an
inspection log or summary including at least the date and time of inspection, observations made, and
any maintenance, repairs, or corrective actions taken by the Permittee. This log of inspections shall
be maintained by the Permittee for a period of three years from the date of the inspection and shall be
made available upon request to the Division or other permitting authority.
3. Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the Division may, upon presentation of
credentials, enter and inspect any property, premises or place on or related to the disposal site or
facility at any reasonable time for the purpose of determining compliance with this permit; may
inspect or copy any records that must be maintained under the terms and conditions of this permit,
and may obtain samples of groundwater, surface water, or leachate.
