PERFORMANCE STANDARDS 1. Upon completion of site grading and shaping, but prior to construction of the irrigation facilities, a licensed soil scientist shall conduct an amended site evaluation. This report shall specifically address, but not be limited to, the effects of grading/construction upon the original site evaluation, and shall be submitted to the Washington Regional Office (WaRO) Aquifer Protection Section. The evaluation should include an investigation of key areas of grading, including soil features such as depth to seasonal high water table, depth to fractured bedrock, soil series, and similar soil features. The report should address the site suitability to ensure the protection of groundwater and the appropriateness of the permitted irrigation rate. Upon completion of site grading and shaping, the soil scientist shall contact the WaRO to inquire whether or not it will be necessary for staff to perform a revised site visit. No wastewater shall be introduced into the treatment system until written approval from the Division of Water Quality is received. 2. After construction of the irrigation system, the Permittee shall subunit a modification request to the Division for operation of the subject facility. This request shall consist of detailed plans and specifications noting the location of the constructed drainage system.. Calculations and proposed instantaneous and annual loading rates shall be modified as necessary to account for lost irrigation area due to buffering around the open drains. 3.

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. 8. 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. 9. The agreements set forth in numbered paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 above shall be conditions of any permit issued by the COMMISSION to the DEVELOPER for the construction, maintenance, repair and operation of the Disposal System. 10. A copy of this agreement shall be filed at the Register of Deeds in the County(ies) where the Declaration is filed and in the offices of the Secretary of State of North Carolina with the Articles of Incorporation of the Association.

These systems include: septic.tanks, sand filter, oil/water separators, lagoons, storage basins, screening, sedimentation. Systems other than those Iisted above shall be subject to additional classification. Classification of Land Application of Residuals Systems: Systems permitted and dedicated for land application of residuals that are produced by a water pollution control system or contaminated soils. Classification of Pbvsical/Cbeinical Water Pollution Control Treatment Systems: Grade I Physical/Chemical: Any water pollution control system that utilizes a pdmarily physical process to treat wastewater. This classification includes groundwat:;r remediiation systems. ** Grade H Physical/Chemical: Any water pollution control system that utilizes a primarily chemical process to treat wastewater. This classif cation includes reverse osmosis. electrodialysi.s, and uitrafiitratiou systems. ** "Any water pollution control system that utilises a phyicaUch—,mical process to er�rzance an activated sludge orfized growth process, shall not be subject to additional classijcari.on. Classification of Subsurface Water Pollution Control Systems: Systems which utilize the soil for subsurface treatment and disposal of wastewat r and/or are required to have a certified operator under 15A NCAC 18A.1961. *** *** Any subsurface system that has as part of its treatment process a water pollution control systems that maybe classified wider Rules .0302 through _0307 of this section shall be subject to addional class cation. Definitions Activated Sludge - shall mean a biological wastewater treatment process in which predominantly biodegradable polluntants in wastewater are absorbed, or adsorbed by living aerobic organisms and bacteria - Chemical Process - shall mean a wastewater pollution control system process consisting exclusively of the addition of chemicals to treat wastewater. Collection System - shall mean a continuous connections of pipelines, conduits, pumping stations, and other related constructions used to conduct wastewaterto the water pollution control system. Electrodialysis System - shall mean a system uLiizing a selective separation of dissolved solids process that is based on electrical charge and diffusion through a semipermeable membrane. Physical Process - shall mean any water pollution control system process consisting of electrodialysis, adsorption, absorption, air stripping, g}-avimetric sedimentation, floahon, and filtration as a means of treatment. Reverse Osmosis System - shall m= a system which utilizes solutions and semipenuable membranes to separate and treat wastewater. Ultrafiltration System - shall mean a system which utilizes a membrane filter to remove pollutants from wastewater. Water Pollution Control System - shall mean any system for the collection, treatment, or disposal of wastewater and is classified under the provision of G.S. 90A-37. Note: Please refer to G.S. 90A-37 for additional infonmtion and definitions.
