					 set forth in
					 G.S.
					 143-212 and
					 143-213,
					 15A NCAC
					 02T .0103, in this Rule, and in
					 program-specific rules in this Subchapter:
(1) "Beneficial manner" means the use of
				  water as a necessary part of an activity or process to which the water is being
				  added.
(2) "Beneficial reuse" means
				  the utilization of reclaimed water in a beneficial manner and for the purpose
				  of conservation of the State's water resources by reducing the use of other
				  potable water, surface water, and groundwater resources.
(3) "Closed-loop recycle facility" means a
				  system in which non-domestic wastewater is continually recycled back through
				  the process in which the waste was generated.
(4) "Conjunctive system" means a system where
				  the reclaimed water option is in addition to other wastewater utilization or
				  disposal methods that are available to the facility at all times, and reclaimed
				  water utilization is not necessary to meet the wastewater disposal needs of the
				  facility.
(5) "Dedicated system"
				  means a system where the reclaimed water utilization is necessary to meet the
				  wastewater disposal needs of the facility and where other wastewater
				  utilization or disposal methods to accommodate the entire wastewater flow
				  generated at the facility are not available.
(6) "Direct contact irrigation" means
				  application methods that result in the direct contact of reclaimed water on the
				  portion of the crop intended for human consumption.
(7) "Five-day side-stream detention unit"
				  means a basin capable of holding five days worth of treatment plant effluent
				  based on the permitted flow capacity in the event that the reclaimed water does
				  not meet the required quality standards for the approved use.

				  application methods that preclude direct contact of reclaimed water on the
				  portion of the crop intended for human consumption.

				  irrigation, the evaluation shall also include recommended maximum irrigation
				  precipitation rates. If required by G.S. 89F, a soil scientist shall prepare
				  this evaluation.

				  Engineering design documents. If required by G.S. 89C, a professional engineer
				  shall prepare engineering design documents. The following documents shall be
				  provided to the Division by the applicant:
(1)
				  engineering plans for the entire system, including treatment, storage,
				  application, and utilization facilities and equipment except those previously
				  permitted unless those previously permitted are directly tied into the new
				  units or are necessary to understanding the complete process;
(2) specifications describing materials to be
				  used, methods of construction, and means for ensuring quality and integrity of
				  the finished product, including leakage testing;
(3) engineering calculations, including
				  hydraulic and pollutant loading for each treatment unit, treatment unit sizing
				  criteria, hydraulic profile of the treatment system, total dynamic head, and
				  system curve analysis for each pump, buoyancy calculations, and irrigation
				  design; and
(4) closed-loop
				  facilities utilizing storage ponds shall provide a water balance calculation
				  documenting all inputs and losses.
[Note: The North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers
					 and Surveyors has determined, via letter dated December 1, 2005, that
					 preparation of engineering design documents pursuant to this Paragraph
					 constitutes practicing engineering under G.S. 89C. In addition, the North
					 Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors has determined that
					 design of residential reclaimed irrigations systems owned by the property owner
					 does not constitute engineering pursuant to G.S. 89C.]
