Such notification to the regional supervisor shall be made during the nonnal office hours from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday, excluding State Holidays. 3. Please note that the Division has concerns regarding the amount of runoff calculated in the water balance for the irrigation system. If at any time runoff, ponding or other excessive irrigation problems occur, the Permittee may be required to acquire more irrigation area or increase the storage within the system. In addition, future phases of this project shall be required to justify similar runoff calculations. 4. The Permittee shall use a synthetic liner of sufficient thickness if native soils on -site are not available to meet the hydraulic conductivity of no greater than 1 x 10-6 centimeters per second for a compacted 1-foot clay liner. The reclaimed water utilization facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times so that there is no discharge to the 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 (Division), such as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment and disposal facilities. 6. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages to surface water or ground water resulting from the operation of this facility. 7. 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. 8. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is prohibited. 9. The following buffers shall be maintained: a. 100 feet between wetted areas and water supply wells, b. 100 feet between wetted areas and waters classified as SA, c. 25 feet between wetted areas and surface waters not classified as SA, d. 100 feet between wastewater treatment units and wells, e. 50 feet between reclaimed water storage/irrigation ponds and property lines, and f. 50 feet between wastewater treatment units and property lines. 10.
