connection activities, appropriate approval must be received from this Division.
II. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The high -rate infiltration facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times so that
there is no discharge to the surface waters, nor any contravention of groundwater or surface water
standards. In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of
nuisance conditions or failure of the high -rate infiltration area to adequately assimilate the
wastewater, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective actions including those actions that may be
required by the 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.
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.

Application rate(s), whether hydraulic, nutrient, or other pollutant shall not exceed those specified in
Attachment B.
The compliance boundary for the 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 .0106(d)(2) as well as enforcement
actions in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A through 143-215.6C.

constructed within the compliance boundary except as provided by 15A NCAC 02L .0107(g).
9. The review boundary is established around the disposal systems 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.

methodology used to determine the approved flow rate of 7,320 gpd and submit this information
within 18 months of renewal. The Division may change the design flow rate for connections to the
system at that time, and upon each renewal cycle, pending an evaluation of the submitted flow
information.
4. The issuance of this permit does not exempt the Permittee from complying with any and all statutes,

owner.
6. The Permittee shall retain a set of approved plans and specifications for the life of the facilities
permitted herein.
7. The Permittee shall maintain this permit until all permitted facilities herein are properly closed or
permitted under another permit issued by the appropriate permitting authority.
8. The Permittee must pay the annual fee within 30 days after being billed by the Division. Failure to
pay the fee accordingly may cause the Division to initiate action to revoke this permit pursuant to
15A NCAC 02T .0105(e).

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 pgfL or less
b. Standard Method 62101), PQL at 0.5 ug/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 pgiL 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 pg/L must be qualified (estimated) and reported.
If any volatile organic compounds (VOC) are detected as a result of monitoring as provided in Attachment C, then the Wilmiutgon 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/1 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 laken 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.
