6. The subject wastewater treatment and disposal facilities shall be connected to an operational publicly
owned wastewater collection system within 180 days of its availability to the subject facilities, if the
subject wastewater treatment or disposal facilities are in noncompliance with the terms and conditions
of this non -discharge permit or the governing statutes or regulations. Prior to the initiation of these
connection activities, appropriate approval must be received from this Division.
IL 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.
S. Application rate(s), whether hydraulic, nutrient, or other pollutant shall not exceed those specified in
Attachment 13.
6. 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.
The Permittee shall apply for a permit modification prior to any sale or transfer of property that
affects a compliance boundary to establish a new compliance boundary.
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02L ,0107(d), no wells, other than monitoring wells, shall be
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.
10. The Operational Agreement (see attached) between the Permittee and the Environmental
Management Commission is incorporated herein by reference and shall be a condition of this permit.
Noncompliance with the terms of the Operational Agreement shall subject the Permittee to all
sanctions provided by North Carolina General Statutes § 143-215.6A to §143-215.6C for violation of
or failure to act in accordance with the terms and conditions of this permit.

1. Annual monitoring shall be conducted every July.
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 µg/l, or less
b. Standard Method 621OD, PQL at 0.5 hg/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 pg/L 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 tnetltod used must provide a PQL of 0.5 pg/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 (910) 796-7215, must be contacted immediately for further instructions regarding any additional follow-up analyses required.
6. Monitoring wells shall be reported consistent with the nomenclature and location information provided in Figure l and this attachment_
