Condition I.9. — This condition requires that the Permittee connect to a publicly owned
wastewater treatment facility within 180 days of being made available.
Please note that since the last permit issuance, the Division has instituted a new monitoring
policy for all non -discharge systems. Pay careful attention to the monitoring frequencies and
parameters listed in Attachment A, as they differ from the requirements and frequencies in the last
permit issuance. In addition, the permit shell format and language has changed since the last
permit issuance, therefore, please review each permit condition carefully. Please also note the
permit type has change from reclaimed utilization to high -rate infiltration to better fit the actual
disposal method.

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 Melhod 621OD. PQL at 0.5 pg/L or less
c. EPA Method 8021. Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 pg/L or less
d. EPA Method 8260. Low Concentration. PQL at 0.5 pglL or less
e. Another method with prior approval by the Aquifer Protection Section Chief
Any method used must meet the following qualirications:
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 Table Vlll of Standard Method 6230D.
c. The method used must provide a PQL of 0.5 )ig/L or less that must be supporled 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 pg/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/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/I, 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 I and this attachment.

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

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
