perform the construction, the property owner or lessee, provided that they are a natural person,
must physically perform the actual well construction activities. All wells must be constructed
according to the North Carolina Well Construction Standards (15A NCAC 2C .0108) and any
local county rules.
c. The Wilmington Regional Office, telephone number [phone], shall be notified at least
forty-eight (48) hours prior to the construction of any monitoring well so that an inspection can be
made of the monitoring well location. Such notification to the regional groundwater 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.

shall be sampled initially after construction and prior to waste disposal operations, and
thereafter every March, July and November for the parameters listed below. .Prior to
sampling the parameters, the measurement of water levels must be taken. The depth to water

b. For Total Organic Carbon (TOC), if concentrations greater than 10 mg/1 are detected in any
down -gradient 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 down -gradient wells shall
be subject to the additional sampling and analysis as described above.

c. For Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) sampled in November, use only one of the
following methods:

3) EPA Method 8021, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 µg /L or less
4) EPA Method 8260, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 µg /L or less
5) Another method with prior approval by the Aquifer Protection Section Chief.
Any of the referenced methods used for VOCs must at a minimum, include all the
constituents listed in Table VIII of Standard Method 6230D. Any method used must provide
a PQL of 0.5 µg /L or less, which must be supported by laboratory proficiency studies as
required by the DWQ Laboratory Certification Unit. Any constituents detected above the
Method Detection Limit (MDL) but below the PQL of 0.5 µg /L must be qualified
(estimated) and reported.

(Well Construction Record) with the Compliance Monitoring Form (GW-59) for each well to
the address listed above. Initial Compliance Monitoring Forms that do not include copies of
the GW-1 form may be returned to the permittee without being processed. Failure to submit
these forms as required by this permit may result in the initiation of enforcement activities
pursuant to NC General Statutes 143-215.6A.

business in the State of North Carolina, hereinafter known as the DEVELOPER.
WITNES SETH:
1. The DEVELOPER has the purchase option on certain lands lying in County,
upon which it is erecting and will erect dwelling units and other improvements, said development to be
known as G' f} nl nl� �S % �� J-L l?c: ga e— U /\J J (hereinafter the
Development).
2. The DEVELOPER desires, to construct a wastewater collection system with pumps, wastewater treatment
works, and/or disposal facilities (hereinafter Disposal System) to provide sanitary sewage disposal to serve
the Development on said lands.
3. The DEVELOPER has applied to the COMMISSION for the issuance of a permit pursuant to G.S. 143-
215.1 to construct, maintain, and operate the Disposal System.
4. The DEVELOPER has created or shall create unit ownership in said dwellings units, other improvements
and lands through filing of a Declaration of Unit Ownership (hereinafter Declaration), pursuant to Chapter
47C or 47F of the North Carolina General Statutes.
5. The DEVELOPER has caused to be formed or will cause to be formed at the time of fling of the
Declaration, the (Enter Proposed Unit Owners'_ Association) gp4Nnl\f 5, . '- 800 (hereinafter
Association), a non-profit corporation organized and existing under and by the virtue of the laws of the
State of North Carolina, for the purpose, among others, of handling the property, affairs and business of the
Development; of operating, maintaining, re -constructing and repairing the common elements of the lands
and improvements subject to unit ownership, including the Disposal System; and of collecting dues and
assessments to provide funds for such operation, maintenance, re -construction and repair.
6. The COMMISSION desires to assure that the Disposal System of the Development is properly
constructed, maintained and operated in accordance with law and permit provisions in order to protect the
quality of the waters of the State and the public interest therein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the benefits to be derived by each of the parties
hereto, the COMMISSION and DEVELOPER do hereby mutually agree as follows:
1. The DEVELOPER shall construct the Disposal System in accordance with the permit and plans and
specifications hereafter issued and approved by the COMMISSION, and shall thereafter properly operate
and maintain such systems and facilities in accordance with applicable permit provisions and law.
2. The DEVELOPER shall not transfer ownership and/or control of the Disposal System to the Association
until construction has been completed in accordance with the permit and approved plans, and the staff of
the Division of Water Quality has inspected and approved of the facilities. In order to change the name of
the permit holder, the DEVELOPER must request that the permit be reissued to the Association. The
request must include a copy of the Association Bylaws and Declaration.
3. The DEVELOPER shall not transfer, convey, assign or otherwise relinquish or release its responsibility for
the operation and maintenance of its Disposal System until.a permit has been reissued to the
DEVELOPER's successor.

4. The DEVELOPER shall provide in the Declaration and Association Bylaws that the Disposal System and
appurtenances thereto are part of the common elements and shall thereafter be properly maintained and
operated in conformity with law and the provisions of the permit for construction, operation, repair, and
maintenance of the system and facilities. The Declaration and Bylaws shall identify the entire wastewater
treatment, collection and disposal system as a common element which will receive the highest priority for
expenditures by the Association except for Federal, State, and local taxes and insurance.
5. The DEVELOPER shall provide in the Declaration and Association Bylaws that the Disposal System will
be maintained out of the common expenses. In order to assure that there shall be funds readily available to
repair, maintain or construct the Disposal System, beyond the routine operation and maintenance expenses,
the Declaration and Association Bylaws shall provide that a fund be created out of the common expenses.
Such fund shall be separate from the routine maintenance funds allocated for the facility and shall be part of
the yearly budget.
6. In the event the common expense allocation and separate fund are not adequate for the construction, repair,
and maintenance of the Disposal System, the Declaration and Association Bylaws shall provide for special
assessments to cover such necessary costs. There shall be no limit on the amount of such assessments, and
the Declaration and Bylaws shall provide that such special assessments can be made as necessary at any
time.
7. If a wastewater collection system and wastewater treatment and/or disposal facility provided by any city,
town, village, county, water and sewer authorities, or other unit of government shall hereinafter become
available to serve the Development, the DEVELOPER shall take such action as is necessary to cause the
existing and future wastewater of the Development to be accepted and discharged into said governmental
system, and shall convey or transfer as much of the Disposal System and such necessary easements as the
governmental unit may require as condition of accepting the Development's wastewater.
S. Recognizing that it would be contrary to the public interest and to the public health, safety and welfare for
the Association to enter into voluntary dissolution without having made adequate provision for the
continued proper maintenance, repair and operation of its Disposal System, the DEVELOPER shall
provide in the Association Bylaws that the Association shall not enter into voluntary dissolution without
first having transferred its said system and facilities to some person, corporation or other entity acceptable
to and approved by the COMMISSION by the issuance of a permit.
