limitations:
L SCHEDULES
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 anal 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.

of this non -discharge permit or the governing statutes or regulations. Prior to the initiation of these
connection activities, appropriate approval must be received from this Division.
II. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Effluent limitations shall not exceed those specified in Attachment A.
5. Application rates, whether hydraulic, nutrient, or other pollutant shall not exceed those specified in
Attachment B.
The COMPLIANCE and REVIEW BOUNDARIES for the reclaimed utilization system are
established at the property boundary. Any exceedance of standards at the Compliance or Review
Boundary shall require action in accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0106.
7. The Permittee shall apply for a permit modification prior to any sale or transfer of property that
affects a compliance boundary to establish a new compliance boundary.

be taken not to damage the integrity of the 5-day upset basin liner when installing the gauge.
11. A protective vegetative cover shall be established and maintained on all earthen basin embankments
(outside toe of embankment to maximum allowable temporary storage elevation on the inside of the
embankment), berms, pipe runs, erosion control areas, and surface water diversions. Trees, shrubs,
and other woody vegetation shall not be allowed to grow on the earthen basin dikes or embankments.
Earthen basin embankment areas shall be kept mowed or otherwise controlled and accessible.
12. All wastewater shall be routed to the 5-day holding basin should the limit for fecal coliform (daily
maximum concentration of 25 per 100 ml) or turbidity (instantaneous maximum of 10 NTq be
exceeded, until such time that the problems associated with the treatment capability of the wastewater
treatment plant have been corrected. The wastewater in the 5-day holding basin shall be pumped
back to the treatment plant for re -treatment or treated in the 5-day basin prior to discharge to the
infiltration basins.
13. Adequate measures shall be taken to divert stormwater from the low -rate infiltration basins.
14. Adequate measures shall be taken to provide restricted access to the wastewater treatment plant and
five day upset pond.

1. 3 X year monitoring shall be conducted in March, July & November; Annual monitoring shall be conducted every November.
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. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) - In November only, analyze by one of the following methods:
a. Standard Method 6230D, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
b. Standard Method 621 OD, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
C. EPA Method 8021, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
d. EPA Method 8260, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
e. Another method with prior approval by the Aquifer Protection Section Chief
Any method used must meet the following qualifications:
a. A laboratory must be DWQ certified to run any method used.
b. The method used must, at a minimum, include all the constituents listed in Table VIII of Standard Method 6230D.
C. The method used must provide a PQL of 0.5 µg/L or less that must be 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 µg/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 Wilmington Regional Office Aquifer Protection Supervisor, telephone
number [phone], must be contacted immediately for further instructions regarding any additional follow-up analyses required.
6. 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/1, 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.
7. Monitoring wells shall be reported consistent with the nomenclature and location information provided in Figure 1 and this attachment.
