Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of this permitted facility, a certification (see
attached form) must be received from a professional engineer certifying that the permitted facility has
been installed in accordance with this permit, the approved plans and specifications, and other
supporting materials including the location of all monitoring wells as applicable. If this project is to
be completed in phases and partially certified. you shall retain the responsibility to track further
construction- approved under the same permit; _- and shall provideafinal certificate of ,completion once
_ ,
the entire project has been completed. Mail the Certification to the Aquifer Protection Section,
Division of Water Quality, 1636 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1636.
2. The Raleigh Regional Office, telephone number [phone] shall be notified at least 48 hours in
advance (excluding weekends and holidays) of operation of the installed facilities so that an in -place
inspection can be made. Such notification to the Aquifer Protection Section regional supervisor shall
be made during the normal office hours from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday,
excluding State Holidays
No later than six months prior to the expiration of this permit, the Permittee shall request renewal of
this permit on official Division forms. Upon receipt of the request, the Division will review the
adequacy of the facilities described therein, and if warranted, will renew the permit for such period of
time and under such conditions and limitations as it may deem appropriate. Please note that Rule
15A NCAC 02T .0105(d) requires an updated site map to be submitted with the permit renewal
application.
H. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
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 due to improper operation and maintenance, or failure of
the utilization 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.
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
3. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages to ground
or surface waters resulting from the operation of this facility.
4. All wells that are constructed for purposes of groundwater monitoring shall be constructed in
accordance with 15A NCAC 02C .0108 (Standards of Construction for Wells Other than Water
Supply) and any other state and local laws and regulations pertaining to well construction.
5. Effluent limitations shall not exceed those specified in Attachment A.
6. Application rate(s), whether hydraulic, nutrient, or other pollutant shall not exceed those specified in
Attachment B.

1. 4 X year monitoring shall be conducted in March, June, September, and December.
2. The measurement of water levels shall be made prior to purging the wells. The depth to water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on the top of the casing. The measurement
of pH shall be made after purging and prior to sampling for the remaining parameters.
3. The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to provide the relative elevation of the measuring point for each monitoring well. The measuring points (top
of casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed relative to a common datum.
4. If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/l are detected in any downgradient monitoring well, additional sampling and analysis must be conducted to identify the individual constituents
comprising this TOC concentration. If the TOC concentration as measured in the background monitor well exceeds 10 mg/l, this concentration will be taken to represent the naturally occurring
TOC concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring TOC concentration in the downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling and analysis as described above.
5. Monitoring wells shall be reported consistent with the nomenclature and location information provided in Figure 1 and this attachment.
