compressors, etc.
c. Any failure of disposal system resulting in a by-pass directly to receiving waters.
d. Any time that self -monitoring information indicates that the facility has gone out of compliance
with its permit limitations including, but not limited to, freeboard measurements, effluent
limitations, exceedances of groundwater standards, or overloading of any field.
For any emergency that requires immediate reporting (e,g., discharges to surface waters, imminent
failure of a storage structure, etc.) outside normal business hours must be reported to the Division's
Emergency Response personnel at telephone number [phone], [phone], or (919) 733-

within five (5) days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report must outline the actions
taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem does not recur.
V. INSPECTIONS
1. Adequate inspection and maintenance shall be provided by the Permittee to ensure proper operation
of the subject facilities.
2. The Permittee or his designee shall inspect the wastewater treatment, disposal and utilization
facilities to prevent malfunctions and deterioration., operator errors and discharges, which may cause
or lead to the release of wastes to the environment, a threat to human health, or a nuisance. The
Permittee shall keep an inspection log or summary including at least the date and time of inspection,
observations made, and any maintenance, repairs, or corrective actions taken by the Permittee. This

of pH shall be made after purging and prior to sampling for the remaining parameters.

of casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed relative to a common datum.
WQ0031526 Version 1.0 Attachment C Page 1 of 1

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 6210D, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
c. EPA Method 8.021, Low Concentration, PQL at 0:5 µg/L or less
d- EPA Method 8260, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 µglL 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 V11I 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 (828) 2964500, must be contacted immediately for further instructions regarding any additional follow-up analyses required.
6. If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mgJ 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/l, 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 2A and this attachment.
