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, such as the
construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment and disposal facilities.

surface or ground waters resulting from the operation of this facility.
3. The sand media of the surface sand filter must comply with the Division's sand specifications.
The Engineer's Certification will serve as evidence that these specifications have been met.

7. The facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent
the discharge of any wastewater resulting from the operation of this facility.
8. No type of wastewater other than that from the Ridgefield Lot 4A Residence shall be sprayed
onto the irrigation area.
9. No traffic or equipment shall be allowed on the disposal area except while installation occurs or
while normal maintenance is being performed.
10. The irrigation field shall be fenced with at least a two -strand wire fence.

The Permittee shall report by telephone to the Raleigh Regional Office, telephone number (919)
