Dear Mr. Castro:
George T. Everett, Ph.D.
Director
In accordance with the policy of the Division of
Environmental Management to ensure the good quality of
North Carolina's groundwater, the referenced Permit
requires several activities related to groundwater
monitoring. The following guidelines are presented to
assist you in complying,with those requirements. If you
have any questions concerning these matters, you should
contact Don Link at the address shown below to discuss the
requirements relevant to your specific facility:
Asheville Regional Office
59 Woodfin Place
Asheville, NC 2880.1
-(704) 251-6208
Condition No.IV-1 The installation of monitor wells
as approved by the Department's Asheville Regional
Office.
THE MONITOR WELLS MUST BE DEVELOPED TO A TOTAL
SUSPENDED SOLIDS LEVEL NOT EXCEEDING 5 mg/L.
Prior to accepting a new well, you should verify that
the driller has developed the well to an acceptable
level as stated above. Failure to do so may result in
samples containing excessive amounts of suspended.
Pollution. Prevention Pays

solids, due to improper well development, which could
lead to analysis and compliance problems. The North
Carolina Well Construction Standards 15A NCAC 2C .0105
require that a Permit be issued prior to construction
of any monitoring well, and therefore permit
application forms are attached for your convenience.
To facilitate the permitting process, you should
contact the appropriate Regional Office personnel as
described above, to discuss the location and
construction requirements relevant to your specific
facility.
NOTE: Please disregard the above if installation of
approved monitoring wells has already been
completed.
Condition No.IV-2 : Sampling of the referenced wells
on the schedule and for the constituents listed
below:
SCHEDULE: The monitor wells must be sampled initially
after construction (and prior to waste
disposal operations) and thereafter every
March, July and November.

If any volatile organic compounds are detected by
method 6230D, or the equivalent method 502.2, then EPA
methods 604 and 611 must also be run to detect other
organic compounds which may be present. The results of
all analyses specified in the monitoring requirements,
including 604 and 611 if required, must be submitted
simultaneously..
A supply of forms (GW-59) on which the analytical
results must be reported are attached. Instructions are
provided on the reverse of the white copy of each 4-part
form. The analytical results should be sent to the address
shown at the top of the form and are due in our office no

SUBJECT: Baxter Healthcare Corporation
Land Application of Sludge
Rutherford County
WQ0004222/GW90330
Lindsay Mize: (DEM SERG Review Engineer)
The Groundwater Section has reviewed the subject permit
renewal request and recommends reissuance of the permit. The
following comments are based on our understanding that the permit
renewal request is for a contingency sludge disposal site and
that no sludge has been applied to this site since the permit was
originally issued on March 31, 1981.
1. Two (2) downgradient and (1) one upgradient monitor
wells shall be.constructed on site prior to the
application of any sludge. The well site locations
shall be approved by the Asheville Regional Office and
be constructed under specifications of the Well
Construction Permit to be issued by that office. The
well(s) shall be constructed such that the water level -
in the well is never above or below the screened (open)
portion of the well at any time during the year.
2. The monitor wells shall be sampled initially after
construction (and prior to waste disposal operations)
and thereafter every March, July and November for the
following parameters:
NO3 (10.0) TDS (500.0)
TOC pH (6.5-8.5 standard units)
so (250.0) Water Level
Copper Zinc.
Volatile Organic Compounds - (In November Only by
method 1 or 2 below)

Method 1: Method 6230D (Capillary - Column), "Standard
Methods For The Examination of Water and
Wastewater", 17th ed., 1989
Method 2: Method 502.2 "Methods For The Determination
Of Organic Compounds In Drinking Water", U.S.
EPA - 600/4-88/039
The measurement of water level must be made prior to
sampling for the remaining parameters.
The measuring points (top of well casing) of all
monitoring wells shall be surveyed relative to mean sea
level (M.S.L). The depth of water in each: well shall
be measured from the surveyed point on the top of the
casing. The water level elevations shall then be
determined relative to M.S.L..
The numbers in parentheses represent the maximum
allowable concentrations in groundwater for the various
analytical parameters, as specified in 15 NCAC 2L
[Groundwater Classifications and Standards]. Unless
otherwise specified, the units for these concentrations
are expressed as milligrams per liter.
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 taken 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.
If any volatile organic compounds are detected by
method 6230D, or the equivalent method 502.2, then EPA
methods 604 and 611 must also be run to detect other
organic compounds which may be present. The results of
all analyses specified in the monitoring requirements,
including 604 and 611 if required, must be submitted
simultaneously.
The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent
to the N.C. Division of Environmental Management on
Form GW-59 [Compliance Monitoring Report Form] every
April, August and December.
3. The Compliance Boundary delineated on the attached site
map for the disposal system is specified by regulations
in 15 NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and
Standards. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality
Standards beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to
the penalty provisions applicable under General Statute
143-215.6(1)a. The sale of property, by the Permittee,
which is within or contiguous to the disposal site, may
alter the location of the Compliance Boundary.
For facilities permitted prior to December 30, 1983,
the Compliance Boundary is established at a distance of
500 feet from the sludge disposal area, or the property
boundary, whichever is less.
If the title to any property which may affect the
location of the Compliance Boundary is changed, the
Permittee shall notify the DEM Director within-14 days.
The Director shall then establish a modified Compliance
Boundary which will be done as a modification to the
Permit.
The REVIEW BOUNDARY delineated on the attached site map
for the disposal system is specified by regulations in
15 NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards.
A REVIEW BOUNDARY is established around disposal
systems midway between the Compliance Boundary and the
perimeter of the waste disposal area. When the
concentration of any substance equals or exceeds the
maximum .allowable concentration of that substance at
the REVIEW BOUNDARY, as determined by monitoring, the
permittee shall either (i) demonstrate, through
predictive calculations or modeling, that natural site
conditions, facility design and operational controls
will prevent a violation of standards at the Compliance
Boundary; or, (ii) submit a plan for the alteration of
existing site conditions, facility design or
operational controls that will prevent a violation of
standards at the Compliance Boundary, and implement
that plan upon its approval by the Director.
4. No land application of waste activities shall be
undertaken when the seasonal high water table is less
than three feet below land surface.
5. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as
deemed necessary by the Division, shall be provided.
