Holidays.
Within six (6) months of permit issuance, the Pernittee shall provide a revised list of wetted
acreage for the surface irrigation fields Iocated at Winding River Plantation to the Wilmington
Regional Office and subsequently begin reporting by the identified fields/zones on Form NDAR.
4. Upon the completion of construction of the West Brunswick Regional Water Reclamation
Facility and the abandonment of the treatment facilities located at St. James Plantation and
Winding River Plantation, the Permittee shall provide the Division with a list detailing which
facility components have been constructed and which have been abandoned. At this time, the
Permittee shall also apply for a minor permit modification so that the system description can be
corrected accordingly.
As specified in a contract between Brunswick County and St. Jaynes and Winding River
Plantations, within six (6) months of the time that the West Brunswick Regional Water
Reclamation Facility begins treating wastewater the wastewater treatment facilities located at St.
James Plantation and Winding River Plantation will be properly abandoned. Documentation of
this shall be submitted to the Division.
4
6. 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.
7. 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.
S. 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.
9. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is prohibited.

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.
Some of the buffers specified above may not have been included in previous permits for this
waste treatment and disposal system. These buffers are not intended to prohibit or prevent
modifications, which are required by the Division, to improve performance of the existing
treatment facility. These buffers do, however, apply to modifications of the treatment and
disposal facilities that are for the purpose of increasing the flow that is tributary to the facility.
These buffers do apply to any expansion or modification of the irrigation areas and apply in
instances in which the sale of property would cause any of the buffers now complied with, for the
treatment and disposal facilities, to be violated. The applicant is advised that any modifications
to the existing facilities will require a permit modification.
The storage/irrigation ponds located at Winding River Plantation do not comply with this
condition, but were previously approved by the Division. Therefore, this condition does not
apply to those previously constructed ponds.
11. Public access to the irrigation sites shall be controlled during active site use. Such controls may
include the posting of signs showing the activities being conducted at each site. A sign shall be
posted in plain sight in the clubhouse showing these activities.
