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 (Division), 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 groundwaters resulting from the operation of this facility.
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.
6. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is prohibited.
The following buffers shall be maintained:

Within thirty (30) days of abandonment, a Well Abandonment Record (Form GW-30) shall be
completed for each well abandoned and mailed to the address listed below. The wells must be
abandoned by either a North Carolina Certified Well Contractor, the property owner or the
property lessee according to General Statues 87-94.4(b)(2). If the abandonment is not performed
by a certified well contractor, the property owner or lessee must physically perform the actual
well abandonment activities and the well(s) must be abandoned according to the North Carolina
Well Construction Standards (15A NCAC 2C .0113) and local county rules.
b. Within thirty (30) days of completion of all well abandonment activities, a certification must be

website at http://gw.ehnr.state.ne.us/ or requested from the address above.
Vertical Separation Requirements:
Waste application activities shall not occur when the vertical separation between depth of application
and the water table is at less than one (1) foot. Verification of the water table elevation can be
confirmed by water level readings obtained from the piezometer wells near the site or auger boring(s),
which must b,,- done within 24 hours, prior to application of wastewater. Any open borings must be
filled with native soil, prior to application to decrease the chance of any waste contaminating the
groundwater.

CIassification of Biological Water Pollution Control Treatment Systems:
Grade I Biological WPCS
- Septic tank/sand filter systems
-Biological lagoon systems
- Constructed wetlands and associated appurtenances
Grade II Biological WPCS
- Systems that utilize an activated sludge or fixed growth process with a permitted
flow less than or equal to 0.5 million gallons per day (mgd)
Grade III Biological WPCS
- Systems that utilize an activated sludge or fixed growth process with a permitted
flow of greater than 0.5 through 2.5 million gallons per day (mgd)
- Grade H systems that are required to achieve biological nutrient reduction
Grade IV Biological WKS
- Systems that utilize an activated sludge or fixed growth process with a permitted
flow of greater then 2.5 million gallons per day (mgd)
- Grade III systems that are required to achieve biological nutrient reduction
* Biological Nutrient Reduction -
The reduction of total nitrogen or total phosphorus by an activated sludge or fixed
growth process as required by the facilities permit.
Classification of Collection Water Pollution. Control Systems:
(whichever provides lowest grade)
Same grade as biological water pollution control system. Grade of system:
Based on population served:
1,500 or Less = Grade I
1,501 to 15,000 = Grade 11
15,001 to 50,000 = Grade III
50,001 or more = Grade IV

Classification of Spray Irrigation Water Pollution Control Systems:
Systems which utilize spray irrigation for the reuse or disposal of wastewater.
These systems include: septic tanks, sand filter, oil/water separators, lagoons,
storage basins, screening, sedimentation. Systems other than those listed above
shall be subject to additional classification.
Classification of Land Application of Residuals Systems:
Systems permitted and dedicated for the land application of residuals that are
produced by a water pollution control system or contaminated soils.
Classification of Physical/Chemical Water Pollution Control Treatment Systems:
Grade I Physical/Chemical: Any water pollution control system that utilizes a
primarily physical process to treat wastewater. This classification includes
groundwater remediation systems **
Grade 11 Physical/Chemical: Any water pollution control system that utilizes a
primarily chemical process to treat wastewater. This classification includes
reverse osmosis, electrodialysis, and ultrafiltration systems. **
** Any water pollution control system that utilizes a physical/chemical process to
enhance an activated sludge or fixed growth process, shall not be subject to additional
classification
Classification of Subsurface Water Pollution Control Systems:
Systems which utilize the soil for subsurface treatment and disposal of
wastewater and/or are required to have a certified operator under 15A NCAC
18A.1961. ***
*** Any subsurface system that has as part of its treatment process a water pollution
control system that may be classified under Rules .0302 through .0307 of this
section shall be subject to additional classification.
