In accordance with your permit minor modification request received February 17, 2010, we are
forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0023934, dated April 16, 2010, to the Town of Pikeville for the
continued operation of the subject wastewater treatment and reclaimed water irrigation facilities. 'The
following revisions have been made to the permit:
:- Attachment B has been revised to divide the irrigation area at the wastewater treatment
plant site (Field 1) into fifteen zones (Zones 1-1 through 1-15), consistent with the
operation of the system.
Attachment B has been revised to divide the irrigation area at the Town ball field (Field 3)
into seven zones (Zones 3-1 through 3-7). consistent with the operation of the system.
Please note that on August 5. 2009, Session Law 2009-406, entitled "An Act to Extend Certain
Government Approvals Affecting the Development of Reai Property Within the State." was enacted by
the General Assembly and signed into law. The Act, known as the Permit Extension Act of 2009, extends
the expiration date of certain government approvals and permits. Non -discharge permit WQ0023934 is
therefore being extended until February- 28, 2017. Per your permit, a renewal application must still be
submitted six months in advance of the extended expiration date.

2. the measurement of water levels shall he made prior to purging the wells. The depth to water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on the lop of the casing. The measurement
of pl I shall be wade alter purging and prior to sampling for the remaining pararnctcrs.
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. "I he measuring points (top
of casing) of all monitoring wells shall he surveyed relative to a common dalurn.
4. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) - In November only, analyze by one of the following melltods:
a. Standard Method 62301). PQL at 0.5 trg/L or less
h. Standard Method 621 UD, PQL at 0.5 jig/I, or less
C. EPA Method 8021. Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 trg/L or less
d. EPA Method 8260, Low Concentration. PQL at 0.5 trg/L or less
e. Another method with prior approval by the Aquifer Protection Section Chief
Any method used must nice( the following qualifications:
a. A laboratory must he DWQ certified to run any method used.
b. The method used must. at a minimum, include all the constituents listed in Tible V III of Standard Method 6230D.
C. The method used Hurst provide a PQL of 0.5 pg/L or less (hat must he supported by laboratory proficiency studies as required by the DWQ Laboratory Certification Unit. Any constituents
detected above the MDL but below the PQL of 0.5 ttg/L must be qualified (estimated) and reported.
5. If any volatile organic compounds (VOC) are detected as a result of monitoring as provided in Attachment C, then the Washington Regional Office Aquifer Protection Supervisor. telephone
number (252) 961-6481, must be contacted immediately for further instructions regarding any additional follow-up analyses required.

G. If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/I 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 id the downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling and analysis as described above.
7. Monitoring wells shall be reported consistent with the nomenclature and location information provided in the attached figures and this attachment.
