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 due to improper operation and maintenance, 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.
4. Effluent limitations shall not exceed those specified in Attachment A.
5. Application rates, whether hydraulic, nutrient, or other pollutant shall not exceed those specified in
Attachment B.
6. The Permittee shall apply for a permit modification prior to any sale or transfer of property that

constructed within the compliance boundary except as provided by 15A NCAC 02L .0107(g).
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.
9. Except as provided for in 15A NCAC 02L .0107(g), the Permittee shall ensure that any landowner
who owns land within the compliance boundary, but who is not the Permittee, shall execute and file
with the Register of Deeds in the county in which the land is located an easement running with the
land that contains the following items:
a. A notice of the permit and number or other description as allowed in 15A NCAC 02L .0107(f)(1);
b. Prohibits construction and operation of water supply wells within the compliance boundary; and
c. Reserves the right of the Permittee or the State to enter the property within the compliance
boundary for purposes related to the permit.
The Director may terminate the easement when its purpose has been fulfilled or is no longer needed.
