Subject: Permit No. WQ0030752
The Nautical Club — Sound Side
Wastewater Treatment, High Rate
Infiltration and Reclaimed Water
Utilization Facility
Carteret County
Dear Mr. Shearin:
In accordance with your permit application received September 27, 2006, and subsequent additional
information received October 25, 2006, November 15, 2006, and December 6, 2006, we are forwarding
herewith Permit No. WQ0030752, dated December 29, 2006, to Shearin Family Investments, LLC for the
construction only of the subject wastewater treatment, high rate infiltration, and reclaimed water utilization
facilities.
Please pay special attention to the following items:
® This permit has been written for construction only. The Permittee may only construct the
conditionally approved components of the wastewater and disposal systems and shall apply for
modification to this permit in order to operate. The Permittee shall provide documentation that
the disposal system is contained within one parcel of property in order to establish appropriate
compliance boundaries, and must provide documentation of an approval from the PERCS Unit
for the STEP low-pressure system before this permit shall be modified to authorize operation of
the treatment and disposal system.
Condition VI.3. requires that the Declaration and Bylaws for the future Homeowner's
Association prohibit the condominiums from being used for vacation rental. G.S. 42A-4
defines vacation rental as the rental of residential property for vacation, leisure, or recreation
purposes for fewer than 90 days by a person who has a place of permanent residence to which
he or she intends to return. This condition is based on the applicant's certification and the
design engineer's flow calculation assumption that the condominiums will be "owner
occupied" and are therefore not intended to be used for vacation rental.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until November 30, 2011, and shall be subject to
the conditions and limitations as specified therein.

subsequently filed and approved by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and considered a part of
this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until November 30, 2011, and shall be subject to the
following specified conditions and limitations:

1. Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of this permitted facility, a certification must be
received from a professional engineer certifying that the permitted facility has been installed in accordance
with this permit, the approved plans and specifications, and other supporting materials. If this project is to be, -
approved under the same permit, and shall provide a final certificate of completion once the entire project has
been completed. Mail the Certification to the Land Application Unit, Division of Water Quality, 1636 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1636.
2. The Wilmington Regional Office, telephone number [phone], shall be notified at least forty-eight (48)
hours in advance of operation of the installed facilities* so that an in -place inspection can be made. Such
notification to the regional 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.
3. The high -rate infiltration system and 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 or failure of the irrigation 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.
4. This, permit shall become voidable if the soils fail to adequately assimilate the wastes. and may be rescinded
unless the facilities are installed, maintained, and operatedin a manner which will protect the assigned water
qualitystandards of the surface waters and ground waters. The ponding of wastewater on the surface of the
distribution fields when the dosing cycle commences shall be considered as evidence of failure of the soils to
adequately assimilate the wastewater. Additionally, such failure shall be interpreted as a violation of this
permit condition.
5. The residuals generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed in accordance with General Statute
143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the Division.
6. Adequate measures shall be taken to divert stormwater from the disposal areas and to prevent wastewater
runoff.
7. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is prohibited.
8. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages to surface or
groundwaters resulting from the operation of this facility.

4. 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.
5. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for the high rate drip irrigation disposal system is specified by
rules in 15A NCAC 02L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. This disposal system was
individually permitted on or after December 30, .1983; therefore, the Compliance Boundary is
established at either 250 feet from the waste disposal area, or 50 feet within the property boundary,
whichever is closest to the waste disposal area. An exceedance of Groundwater Standards at or
beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to remediation action according to 15A NCAC 02L

constructed within the compliance boundary except as provided by 15A NCAC 02L .0107(g).
7. The REVIEW BOUNDARY for the high rate drip irrigation disposal system is established midway
between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the waste disposal area. Any exceedance of
standards at the Review Boundary shall require action in accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0106.
8. The COMPLIANCE and REVIEW BOUNDARIES for the reclaimed spray irrigation areas are
specified by 15A NCAC 02T .0910(a)(5). The Compliance and Review boundaries shall be
established at the irrigation area boundaries.

9. For the initial sampling of the wells as specified elsewhere in the permit, the permittee shall submit a
copy of the GW-1 Form (Well Construction Record) that lists this permit number and the appropriate
monitoring well identification number with the Compliance Monitoring Form (GW-59) for that well.
Initial Compliance Monitoring Forms that do .not include copies of the GW-1 form are incomplete
and may be returned to the permittee without being processed.
10. Two (2) copies of the results of the sampling and analysis must be received on Form GW-59
