a The soil zone number listed in this table corresponds to those zones identified by the North
Carolina-Iicensed 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 WWTI? 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 exceedanee 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.

day following the occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following:
a. Any occurrence at the wastewater treatment facility which results in the treatment of
significant amounts of wastes which are abnormal in quantity or characteristic, such as the
dumping of the contents of a sludge digester; the known passage of a slug of hazardous
substance through the facility; or any other unusual circumstances.
b. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that render the facility incapable
of adequate wastewater treatment such as mechanical or electrical failures of pumps, aerators,
compressors, etc.
11

c. Any failure of a pumping station, sewer line, or treatment facility resulting in a by-pass
directly to receiving waters without treatment of all or any portion of the influent to such
station or facility.
d. Any time that self -monitoring information indicates that the facility has gone out of
compliance with its permit limitations.
Occurrences outside normal business hours may also be reported to the Division's
Emergency Response personnel at telephone number [phone], [phone], or
[phone]. Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written
report in letter form within five (5) days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This
report must outline the actions taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem does
not recur.
IV. GROUNDWATER REQUUREMENTS
A piezometer well shall be maintained in Soil Zone No. 1 to monitor the level of the
groundwater. The general location and name for the well shall be determined and approved by
the Aquifer Protection, Section of the Division's Washington Regional Office.
2. The piezometer well shall be monitored prior to initiating any waste disposal activities and
monthly thereafter to determine the water level only. The depth to the water table in the well
shall be measured from the surveyed point on the top of the well casing. The measuring point
(i.e., top of well casing) shall be surveyed relative to a common datum.
The results of the sampling and analysis shall be received on the GW-59 Form on or before the
last working day of the month following the sampling month at the following address:
NCDENR-DW Q
Information Processing Unit
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
The data of all groundwater monitoring shall be reported using the most recent GW-59 Form.
Updated forms (i.e., GW-1 Form, GW-30 Form, and GW-59 Form) may be downloaded from the
website at http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/aps/gpu/forms.htm or requested from the address above.
3. Waste disposal activities shall not occur when the vertical separation between the land surface
and the water table is less than one foot. Verification of the water table elevation shall be
confirmed by water 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.
4. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY and REVIEW BOUNDARY for the waste disposal area shall
be as specified by 15A NCAC 2H .0219(k)(2)(B)(i)(111). The Compliance Boundary and the
Review Boundary shall be established at the property boundary. Any exceedance of groundwater
quality standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to immediate reme iation
action in accordance with 15A NCAC 2L .0106(d)(2).
5. Compliance and Review Boundaries for the bulk reclaimed utilization areas have not been
established pursuant to 15A NCAC 02T .0905. Any exceedance of groundwater standards shall
require action in accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0106.
12

6. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be
provided.
V. INSPECTIONS
L Adequate inspection, maintenance, and cleaning shall be provided by the Permittee to insure
proper operation of the subject facilities.
