Background
PPG Industries, Inc. operates a fiberglass fiber manufacturing facility in Shelby,
NC. The Shelby plant currently concentrates the bulk of its fiberglass
manufacturing on the reinforced plastics market.
Manufacturing begins with glass raw materials including limestone, silica, boron,
clay and fluorspar. These raw materials are blended in powder form and added to
melt furnaces. The batch melt furnaces, operating at 2800°F, transform the batch
into molten glass. The molten glass is then drawn from the furnaces through
electrically heated platinum bushings into continuous fibers. These fibers are
gathered into strands and either spooled or chopped into specified lengths. Water
sprays cool the glass and keep strand contact points clean during the winding
process.
A "binder", which is water based, is applied to the individual fibers as they are
drawn from the furnaces before being gathered into strands. The binder is a
proprietary mixture of resins, film formers, lubricants, surfactants and coupling .

Y
agents emulsified in a water base. The majority of the wastewater treated by the
treatment plant is spray water, lost binder and cleaning water.
Additional wastewater is received from Azdel, Inc. Azdel is a PPG joint venture
with GE and produces a fiber glass reinforced polypropylene sheet material that is
sold to molders. This is considered a plastics laminating process and is cover under
40 CFR 463. The manufacturing process is dry, so that the wastewater sent to
PPG is either cooling water, cleaning water or domestic wastewater. Therefore, no
allocation based on 463 is proposed.
Wasteload Allocation Summary
This permit was first issued on May 31, 1978. The permit was summarily
adjudicated. It is not entirely evident why the permit was adjudicated, however a
review of historical files seems to indicate that the adjudication was filed because of
a disagreement with limit development. At issuance, final effluent limitations were
based on 40 CFR 410.32, Subpart C: Textile Dry Processing. While the permit
was being adjudicated, interim limits were established based on the results of a field
calibrated water quality model. Upon resolution of the adjudication (it was
determined that textile guidelines did not apply to PPG's discharge), the permit was
reissued in August of 1979 with water -quality limitations based on the results of the
model. This original series of wasteload allocations was based on a discharge flow
of 0.875 MGD.
The permit was renewed in 1985 with a change in allocation, however the reason
for the change is not evidenced in the files. In 1988, Jackie Nowell completed a
wasteload allocation for this facility at an expanded flow of 1.3 MGD. The increase
in flow was based on process modifications in the manufacturing facility. Jackie
evaluated PPG's discharge with a level B model and developed appropriate water
quality -based limitations for BOD5 and NH,,-N.
The current effluent limitations for BOD5 and NHs-N are based on the level B model
run in 1988, while the current TSS limits are BPJ, apparently based on the BOD,5
limits developed as resolution to the 1978/79 adjudication.
Extensive research was conducted to determine if any federal guidelines exist for
such a manufacturing operation. Lacy Ballard of PPG was contacted for a detailed
description of the manufacturing process and associated end products. Don
Anderson and Hugh Wise were contacted at EPA in D.C. regarding the applicability
of textile and glass guidelines. After my conversations with both, I determined that
neither set of guidelines applies to PPG's process. As stated earlier, PPG does
accept wastewater from Azdel, Inc. Azdel's operation falls under the authority of
40 CFR 463, Plastics Laminating. However, manufacturing at Azdel is a dry
process. Azdel's wastewater is largely cooling water, cleaning water and domestic
wastewater. Therefore, guidelines do not apply to this aspect of PPG's effluent
either.

kff
PPG operates two outfalls, 001 and 002.
Outfall 001
Outfall 001 is the effluent from the wastewater treatment plant and receives the
following kinds of wastewater:
• Sanitary
• Research
• Boilers
• Miscellaneous
• Forming
• Fabrication
• Coating
• Process WW
• Storm drains/garage pads
• Azdel, Inc. WW
Outfall 002
Outfall 002 is a non -contact cooling water outfall and is permitted in accordance
with the general permit for non -contact cooling water.
Compliance Summary
A review of DMR data has indicated that compliance with permit conditions is
excellent, with the exception of chronic toxicity. This facility effectively removes
cBOD and nitrifies extremely well. It appears that PPG's effluent is contributing to
instream conductivity, though downstream values rarely exceed 100 µmhos/cm.
Toxicity
Type of Toxicity Test: Chronic (Ceriodaphnia) P/F
Existing Limit: 33% Chronic P/F
Recommended Limit: 33% Chronic P/F
Monitoring Schedule: January, April, July, October
This facility has had a history of toxicity failures. In 1996, PPG completed a
toxicity evaluation report. It seems evident that toxicity is source related. The
facility feels confident that toxicity is the result of binder usage. Lacy Ballard of
PPG has indicated that as many as 10-15 binders are in use at any given time, each
made up of a host of ingredients. PPG found that the.addition of bentonite clay
into the aeration system solved, their toxicity problems. PPG received authorization
to construct bentonite addition facilities on January 13, 1998. They are currently
adding about 500 lb/day and are experiencing no toxicity problems.
Summary and Recommendations
As effluent guidelines do not exist for this manufacturing process, and since water
quality modeling has been conducted to determine the effect of this discharge on the

receiving stream, I propose renewal with existing limits for BOD,5, NH,3-N, TSS, and
Oil `dQ Crease. Reasonable potential analyses have been conducted for toxicants and
provide the following results:
Lead: NL, monitoring 2/Month
Fluoride: 5.4 mg/L, monitoring Weekly -
Zinc: NL, monitoring 2/Month
Copper: NL, monitoring 2/Month
Special Conditions
There are three special conditions. A(3) is the chronic toxicity special condition.
A(4) is a biocide condition for outfall 002, non -contact cooling water. A(5) is a
disinfection condition requiring such should violations of North Carolina's fecal
coliform standard occur.
Instream Monitorina Requirements
PPG currently monitors dissolved oxygen, fecal coliform, temperature and
conductivity instream. This renewal recommends maintaining instream monitoring.

Sludge Management Plan Narrative
The wastewater treatment plant sludge generated by the Shelby facility is a mixture of
primary and secondary sludges. The primary sludge is the result of clarification using
lime, aluminum chloride, polymers and coagulants to achieve floc formation and settling.
The secondary sludge is waste activated sludge from the biological treatment system. The
secondary sludge also containes bentonite clay and a small amount of ferric chloride.
Both sludges are combined in a sludge thickener/storage tank prior to dewatering.
Polymer addition and mechanical mixing, along with dilution water, is required to prepare
the sludge for the belt press. The sludge is then pumped to a belt press for dewatering.
The belt press has both a gravity drain section and a pressure section where the water is
removed. Typically, the solids are increased from 4-5% as it leaves the storage tank, to 25
to 30% solids discharged from the belt press. The dewatered sludge is transported by
screw conveyors to a roll -off box which is handled by a local hauling and waste disposal
contractor.
Dewatered sludge is disposed of, off -site, at a private landfill owned by Cleveland
Container Service (JM Landfill). The sludge is incorporated into the cover dirt.
As an alternative disposal method, the Shelby plant has acreage permitted for land
application of sludge (Permit No. WQ0001055) but has elected not to use this option.

CHRONIC TOXICITY MONITORING (QUARTERLY)
The permittee shall conduct chronic toxicity tests using ` test procedures outlined in the "North
Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" ( Revised November 1995) or
.subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration defined as the Instream Waste Concentration (IWC) shall be 33%.- The
test concentrations for this test series will be 8.25%, 16.5%, 33%, 49.5%, and 66 % (Test
concentrations may be modified only upon approval by the Division) . The chronic value will be
determined using the geometric mean of the highest concentration having no detectable impairment
of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does not have a detectable
impairment of reproduction or survival. The presence of 48 hour acute toxicity will be determined
using Fisher's Exact Test at 48 hours from test initiation. The definition of "detectable
impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are described
by the document referenced above.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using these procedures to
establish compliance with the SOC condition. The tests will be performed during the months of
January, April, July, and October. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the
NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of the SOC condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the
parameter code THP3B for the Chronic Value and TGA3B for the 48 hour Acute Toxicity measure
(Pass/Fail) . Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of Water Quality
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, North Carolina 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical
measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data.
Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine
is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring
is required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity
(AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the
month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form.. The
report shall be submitted,to the Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, then
monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a valid test is submitted. Upon
submission of a valid test, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the -months
specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, then the NPDES
Permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits .
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental
controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be
completed on later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

Dear Mr. Gleason:
PPG Industries, Inc., located in Shelby, North Carolina (PPG -Shelby) entered into a
Special Order by Consent (SOC) with the State of North Carolina on March 11, 1997.
This report is to satisfy the requirements of Item 2.d. of the SOC which requires that
PPG -Shelby submit a Quarterly Progress Report by the 15th day of July 1998. PPG -
Shelby has complied with the time schedule of the activities listed in the SOC
(Activities 2 (c) 1-5).
We have achieved compliance with the effluent limitations in accordance with the June
30, 1998 deadline (Activity 2(c)5) and have complied with all of the requirements of
the of the SOC. As required in Activity 2(f), we are submitting a written notification
to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) that we have achieved
compliance with Activity 2(c)5.
As indicated in the previous progress reports, we have permanently installed the
bentonite clay feed system and are continuing to operate it for toxicity removal. Prior
to the June 30, 1998 compliance deadline, optimization of the clay dosage was
performed in order to achieve consistent compliance with toxicity limits. This
optimization program included the performance of monthly toxicity screening tests in
addition to the quarterly testing required in the SOC. Table 1 presents a summary of
all of the effluent toxicity testing performed from 1997 to date.
As indicated in Table 1, the full range bioassay test performed the week of April 13 did
not meet the target NOEC of 33 %. Bioassay testing was repeated the week of April 27
and the effluent passed with an NOEC of 33 %. During April 1998 the clay was being
fed at a dosage of 285 lb/day. Based on the April test failure it was determined that the
285 lb/day clay dosage may not be adequate to achieve consistent compliance with the

toxicity limits. Therefore, the clay dosage was increased to 500 lb/day in May 1998.
The May and June toxicity screening tests passed with sample reproductions of 99 and
98 %, respectively, of the control reproduction.
Based on our operating experience with this system, we feel that we have implemented
a system which will meet the chronic toxicity limits: We are performing full range
chronic bioassay monitoring in July 1998 to satisfy the quarterly monitoring
requirements in the SOC.
We appreciate your cooperation in this matter. If you have any questions please do not
hesitate to call me at [phone] Ext. 544.
Sincerely,
Lacy Ballard
Staff Engineer

Facility Name PPG Industries -Shelby Facility Permit # NC0004685 _ Pipe # 001 _
CHRONIC TOXICITY .PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina CeriodUhnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic Bioassay
Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality
is _33 % (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The permit holder shall
perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to .establish compliance with the permit condition. The first
test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date of this permit during the months of
_JANAPR JUL OCT Effluent sampling -for this testing shall be performed at. the NPDES permitted final
effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge .
Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B.
Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements performed in
association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity
sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly monitoring will
begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed.. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will
revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and
modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism
survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate
retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute
noncompliance with monitoring requirements.

Dear Mr. Goodrich:
By this letter PPG Industries, Inc. located in Shelby, North Carolina (PPG -Shelby) is
formally requesting an Authorization to Construct (ATC) to be issued by the NCDENR
- Division of Water Quality for the conversion of a full scale bentonite clay feed system
from pilot operations to permanent operations. The pilot scale system, which has been
in operation since April of 1997, is designed to un-bag, slurry, age, and feed a
controlled amount of bentonite clay to the aeration basin of the existing on -site
Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP).
Please find enclosed the following:
1. A check in the amount of $200 for the Application Fee.
2. Three sets of Plans and Specifications of the existing full scale pilot system
which is to be converted to permanent use.
- Plans have bee sealed by a Professional Engineer licensed to practice in
the State of North Carolina.
- Plans have been marked "Final" and "Review Only, Not For
Construction".
- Manufacturers specifications on the bentonite clay and on the bentonite
clay unbagging and feeding system have been included.
3. This is a chemical feed system that discharges approximately 1000 gallons/day
of bentonite slurry to the WWTP aeration basin influent. Therefore, no design
calculations or hydraulic profiles are included. Item 6 addresses pilot test data.

4. A flow schematic of the pilot bentonite clay feed system on 8 1/2 x 11" paper.
5. The system is an existing full scale pilot system that PPG -Shelby is converting
to permanent use. Therefore, a Construction Sequence Plan for continuous
operation is not required.
6. Pilot test data from March of 1997, when the bentonite clay feed system was
put into use, to present is included.
If you have any comments or questions on the attached information, please do not
hesitate to call me at [phone] Ext. 544.

ACCOFLOC 350 SPECIFICATIONS
Description
Accofloc 350 is a sodium bentonite based material. It is classified as a flocculent aid for use in industrial
and municipal treatment plants_ It is used in conjunction with polymers and/or flocculating agents to
remove suspended solids, heavy metals, oils, and grease. This product will not generate a floc on its own.
Accofloc 350 has been NSF approved for potable water.
Function
When Accofloc 350 is dispersed into a wastestream, it binds with contaminants and helps increase floc
size and weight The resulting floc increases treatment efficiency and improves sludge dewatering.
Purity
Hydrous aluminum silicate comprised principally of the clay mineral montmorillonite. Montmorillonite
content 94% minimum. Contains small portions of feldspar, biotite, selenite, etc.

Directions for Use
Accofloc 350 should be added with tap water and mixed into a 5% slurry by weight. The Accofloc should
be completely hydrated for 24 hours prior to adding to the wastestream. Accofloc 350 should be added to
a wastestream prior to the addition of polymers or flocculating agents.
Precautions
Accofloc 350 is hydrophilic and becomes slippery when wet. Accofloc 350 spilled in a work area should
be swept up immediately.

Function
When Accofloc SDG is dosed into a wastestream, it binds with contaminants and helps increase floc
size and weight_ The resulting floc increases wastewater treatment efficiency and improves sludge
dewatering.

Accofloc SDG should be added with tap water and mixed into a 5% slurry by weight. The Accofloc
should be completely hydrated for 24 hours prior to adding to the wastestream. Accofloc SDG should be
added to a wastestream prier to the addition of polymers or flocculating agents.
Precautions
Accofloc SDG is hydrophrilk and becomes slippery when wet. Accofloc SDG spilled in a work area
should be swept up immediately.
Accofloc SDG is NSF approved for use in potable water.

Recent changes in discharge regulations have forced municipalities and industries to reassess
wastewater treatment methods. Many systems currently in use are unable to meet the increasingly
stringent discharge requirements. The addition of Accofloc to current treatment chemistries may be
the only adjustment necessary to meet the changing regulations.
Problem
Many municipal and industrial wastewater
treatment systems are based on the
generation of large floc particles which either
float to be skimmed off the surface of the
water or settle to concentrate in the bottom
of the tank. The desired result is not always
attained and this can lead to major problems
for the operator.
These problems may include:
• small colloidal floc that will not float or sink
• high turbidity in the water
• poor dewatering'
Solution
These problems can normally be corrected
with the addition of Accofloc° to the
wastewater along with the polymer currently
being used. Accofloc added to the
wastewater will achieve the following results:
• increased floc size
• increased floc weight
• reduced settling time
• increased clarity
• removal of trace metals from wastewater
• increased filterability of floc

i
Easy to Use
Accofloc particle structure.
Accofloc in hydrated form.
The Accofloc products are high swelling pure
sodium bentonite clays found only in the
Black Hills region of the western United
States. The Accofloc clays are selected for
their unique ion exchange capability. This
capability allows Accofloc to increase clarity
and remove trace metals from wastewater.
Accofloc is NSF approved for use in potable
water applications.
Accofloc is normally premixed with tap water
to a 5% by weight slurry. Accofloc is never
added directly to a wastewater stream in the
dry form. After approximately two hours of
hydration time, the slurry can be added to the
wastewater treatment -mix tank at a rate of:
200 to 500 ppm.
It is important to note that Accofloc will
normally not floc on its own.' In order to
create a floc, Accofloc mus.t.be used in
conjunction with polyelectrolytes or inorganic
flocculating salts.
Accofloc is Offered in
Two Forms
• Accofloc 350 Accofloc SDG
Accofloc 350 is a high quality powder sodium
bentonite clay chosen especially for its
flocculation characteristics.
Accofloc SDG consists of uniformly sized
granules that have been produced from high
quality ground, selectively mined sodium
bentonite clay.

Other CETCO Wastewater/
Water Treatment Products
If the wastewater problem is too great for Accofloc, CETCO offers additional products for treating
wastewater/water.
RM-10"
RM-10 custom blended flocculent formulas are used for hard to
treat wastewaters. Nine standard formulas are available which
effectively break emulsified oils and remove heavy metals from
various wastewaters. CETCO also offers a complete line of
wastewater treatment equipment to handle batch or continuous
wastewater flows.
CLARION®
Clarion absorption media and columns remove oils and low
soluble organic contaminants from wastewater. In many
situations Clarion can be used En conjunction with or replace
granular activated carbon. CETCO also designs and
manufactures various column systems to handle a variety of
waste treatment needs and flows.
SORBOND®
Sorbond waste stabilization/solidification agents are a unique
blend of natural minerals and inorganic chemicals that solidify
and stabilize heavy metal and organic sludges into a non -
leachable solid that will not re -liquify. Sorbond offers less total
volume increase compared to flyash, portland cement or other
typical additives. Custom blended formulas are available for site
specific applications.

MOORESVILLE KG10.1 Of%E
On September 28, 1994 the Division of Environmental Management issued NPDES Permit No. NC0004685 to PPG
Industries, Inc. A review of the permit file has indicated that errors were inadvertently made in the permit regarding the whole
effluent toxicity testing requirement. Accordingly, we are forwarding herewith modifications to the subject permit to correct
the errors. These modifications consist exclusively of corrections to Part III, Condition E of the permit and include deletion of
the phrase "in any two consecutive toxicity tests" in the first paragraph, replacement of the word "issuance" with "effective"
where the requirements for performing the first test are contained in the third paragraph, and corrections to the mailing address
to which DEM Form AT-1 should be mailed.
Please find enclosed an amended page containing Part III, Conditions E, F, and G which should be inserted into your
permit. The old page should be discarded. All other terms and conditions contained in the original permit remain unchanged
and in full effect. These permit modifications are issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statutes 143-
215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you
have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This
request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and
filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, Post Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7447. Unless
such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
If you have any questions concerning these permit modifications, please contact Dana Bolden at telephone number
9191733-5083, extension 518.

Part III Permit No. NC0004685
E. CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic
Bioassay Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 33% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document).
The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance
with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date
of this permit during the months of January, April, July, and October. Effluent sampling for this
testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment
processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter
code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention:
Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management -
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this
monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this
permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified"innthe cited document, such as minimum
control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test
and will require immediate retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit
suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.
F. The permittee shall not use any biocides except those approved in conjunction with the permit
application. The permittee shall notify the Director in writing not later than ninety (90) days prior
to instituting use of any additional biocide used in cooling systems which may be toxic to aquatic
life other than those previously reported to the Division of Environmental Management. Such
notification shall include completion of Biocide Worksheet Form 101 and a map locating the
discharge point and receiving stream.
G. In the event that violations of the fecal coliform requirements of the North Carolina water
quality standards occur as a result of this discharge, disinfection will immediately be required and
the permit amended to establish a coliform effluent limitation.

No. NC0004685 with an effective date of November 1, 1994, and expiration date of
December 31, 1998. Upon review of the toxicity language contained in the permit, it was
noted that the.permit does not reflect the new permitting strategy, effective October 1991,
which eliminates all references to two consecutive toxicity tests. Under Part III, Condition
E, the following language is present - "The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit
chronic toxicity in any two consecutive toxicity tests, using procedures outlined in...
This office recommends modification of the permit to incorporate language in Part III,
Condition E to read, "The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using
test procedures outlined in:"
.The address for the Environmental Sciences Branch as stated in Part III, Condition
E should reflect the new location of the Water Quality Laboratory and read as follows:

THERE SHALL BE NO CHROMIUM, ZINC, OR COPPER ADDED TO THE COOLING WATER.
** The temperature of the effluent shall be such as not to cause an increase in the temperature of the receiving stream of more than 2.8°C and in
no case cause the ambient water temperature to exceed 29°C.
The permittee shall obtain authorization from the -Division of Environmental Management prior to utilizing any biocide in the cooling water (See
Part III of this Permit).
The pH shall not be less than 6.0 standard units nor greater than 9.0 standard units.
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.

Part III Permit No. NCO004685
E. CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity in any two consecutive toxic ry �%
using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic
Bioassay Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 33% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document).
The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance �
with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days fro issu�rce'of this
permit during the months of January, April, July and October. Effluent sampling r is testing
shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be. entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter
code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention:
Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
P.O. Box 27687
Raleigh, N.C. 27611
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this
monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this
permit may be. reopened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test
and will require immediate retesting (within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit
suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.
F. The permittee shall not use any biocides except those approved in conjunction with the permit
application. The permittee shall notify the Director in writing not later than ninety (90) days prior
to instituting use of any additional biocide used in cooling systems which may be toxic to aquatic
life other than those previously reported to the Division of Environmental Management. Such
notification shall include completion of Biocide Worksheet Form 101 and a map locating the
discharge point and receiving stream.
G: In the event that violations of the fecal coliform requirements of the North Carolina water
quality standards occur as a result of this discharge, disinfection will immediately be required and
the permit amended to establish a colifonn effluent limitation.

Dear Mr. Emmert:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0004685 was
issued on September 28, 1994 for the discharge of wastewater to the
surface waters of the State from your facility. The purpose of
this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and
the liabilities in the event of failure to comply with the terms
and conditions of the Permit. If you have not already done so, it
is suggested that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of particular
importance are Pages 5 through 7.
Pages 5 through 7 set forth the effluent limitations and
monitoring requirements for your discharge(s). Your discharge(s)
must not exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section
headed "Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement
frequencies, sample types and sampling locations. Upon
commencement of your discharge (or operation), you must initiate
the required monitoring. The monitoring results must be entered on
the reporting forms furnished to you by this Agency. If you have
not received these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you
fail to receive the forms, please contact this Office as quickly as
possible. I have enclosed a sample of the "Effluent" reporting
form (DEM Form MR-1), plus instructions for completing the form.
It is imperative that all applicable parts be completed, and the
original and one copy be submitted as required.

The remaining Parts of the Permit set forth definitions,
general conditions and special conditions applicable to the
operation of wastewater treatment facilities and/or discharge(s).
The conditions include special reporting requirements in the event
of noncompliance, bypasses, treatment unit/process failures, etc.
Also addressed are requirements for a certified wastewater
treatment plant operator if you are operating wastewater treatment
facilities. Any changes in operation of wastewater treatment
facilities, quantity and type of wastewater being treated or
discharged, expansions and/or upgrading of wastewater treatment
facilities must be permitted or approved by this Agency.
Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES
Permit subjects the Permittee to enforcement action pursuant to
Section 143-215.6 of the North Carolina General Statutes. A civil
penalty of up to $10,000 per violation (and/or criminal penalties)
may be assessed for such violations. If you find at any time that
you are unable to comply with the terms and conditions of the
Permit, you should contact this Office immediately. A Consent
Order may be necessary while pursuing action to obtain compliance.
As a final note, an NPDES Permit is normally issued for a
five-year period. Permits are not automatically renewed. Renewal
requests must be submitted to this Agency'no later than ISO days
prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration date of
your Permit. This date is set forth on Page 1 of the Permit. Also
note that NPDES Permits are not transferable. If you, as the
Permittee, cease to need this Permit, then you should request that
the Permit be rescinded.
As mentioned previously, the purpose of this letter is to
advise you of the importance of your NPDES Permit. Please read the
Permit and contact this Office at 704/663-1699 in Mooresville if
you have any questions or need clarification. We look forward to
providing any assistance.

significant mortality is 33% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document).
The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance
with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from issuance of this
permit during the months of January, April, July and October. Effluent sampling for this testing
shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter
code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:

Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this
monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this
permit may be reopened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test
and will require immediate retesting (within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit
suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.
F. The permittee shall not use any biocides except those approved in conjunction with the permit
application. The permittee shall notify the Director in writing not later than ninety (90) days prior
to instituting use of any additional biocide used in cooling systems which may be toxic to aquatic
life other than those previously reported to the Division of Environmental Management. Such
notification shall include completion of Biocide Worksheet Form 101 and a map locating the
discharge point and receiving stream.
G. In the event that violations of the fecal coliform requirements of the North Carolina water
quality standards occur as a result of this discharge, disinfection will immediately be required and
the permit amended to establish a coliform effluent limitation.

it. The "month]%- average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled
and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured du ins
such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the
pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days
the tests a ere reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the
permit. .
b. The "v► ee1Jy average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Sarurday) on wNch daily discharges
arc sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the
%%eights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the
number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average"
in Part I of the permit.
e. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during
a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant
calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily
l+iaxlmum," in Past I of the permit.
d. The. "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or rr�e .ured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
memsured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled andlor measured during such
year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found
cash day of the }'earand then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were
reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Pan I of the permit.

6. ['or crnt.Vati Rn Measurement
a. The "avenge monthly concentration." other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of
the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled, and/or measured during a calendar month
on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic Mean of the duly
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic meL (weighted by flow
e monthl
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The averagy count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits' in
Put 1 of the permit.
b. The *Average weekly concertration," other than for fecal coliform bacteriam is the sum of the
• concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or treasured during a calendar week
(Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the
number of daily discharges sampled undlor measured during such week (arithmetic Mean of
the daily concentration values). The dilly concentration value is equal to the concentration
of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by
low value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count
for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during
a calendar week. This limitation is identified as oWeekly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Pa.Z I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of
Fallutani calculated from it is the "!Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as
'Dail) Mavmum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
d. The "avenge arasual concentration." other than for fecCcoliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the cue of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average yearly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar )-car. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount
of dissol� ed oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged
over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the
sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is
identified as "daily 1,erage" in the text of Part
f. The "quan,erly average concentration" is the average of all samples ta3:en over a calendar
quarter. It is identified as "Queerly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit.

individual sample collection, of
(2 ) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period %ith the time
intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the
sa.—,rline. point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by
use of a flow• recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample
collection fixed at no greater than U24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment
system. or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of

detention time of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval
betK ten effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours not the number of samples less
than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.

a. Definitions
Oi "Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment
fa:ility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or
operating mode for the facility.
(2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to
the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and -
per�:nent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the
a' sence of a by-pass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by
delays in production.
b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The perittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to
be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation.
These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section.
C. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass: If the perminee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it
shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass;
including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as
required in Part I1, E. 6. of this permit..(24 hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(!) By-pass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action
against a per=nee for bypass, unless:
(A) By-pass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property
damage;
(B) There w ere no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use ,f auxiliary
treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal

periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup i .
equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering
judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment
downtime or preventive maintenance: and
(C) The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragrapb c* of this section.

no case cause the ambient water temperature to exceed 29' C.
The permittee shall obtain authorization from the Division of Environmental Management prior to utilizing any biocide in the cooling water (See
Part III of this Permit).
The pH shall not be less than 6.0 standard units nor greater than 9.0 standard units.
There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts.

' Part III Permit No. NC0004685
D. The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity in any two consecutive toxicity
tests, using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic
Bioassay Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 33% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina.procedure document).
The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance
with the permit condition. The first.test will be performed after thirty days from issuance of this
permit during the months of January, April, July and October. Effluent sampling for this testing
shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter
code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention:
Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management
P.O. Box 27687
Raleigh, N.C. 27611
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this
monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this
permit may be reopened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. .
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test
and will require immediate retesting (within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit
suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.
E. The permittee shall conduct a test for pollutants annually at the effluent from the treatment
plant. The discharge shall be evaluated as follows: 1) A pollutant analysis of the effluent must be
completed annually using EPA approved methods for the following analytic fractions: (a)
purgeables (i.e., volatile organic compounds); (b) acid extractables; (c) base/neutral extractables;
(d) organochlorine pesticides and. PCB's (e) herbicides; and (f) metals and other inorganics. The
Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring (APAM) Requirement Reporting Form A and
accompanying memo, to. be provided to all discharges affected by this monitoring requirement,
describes the sampling and analysis requirements and lists chemicals to be included in the
pollutant analysis. This monitoring requirement is to be referred to as the "Annual Pollutant
Analysis Monitoring Requirement" (APAM).
2) Other significant levels of organic chemicals must be identified and approximately quantified.
For the purpose of implementing this requirement, the largest 10 GC/MS peaks in the purgeable,
_base/neutral extractable, -and -acid extractable fractions (or fewer than 10, if less than 10

'unidentified peaks occur) for chemicals other than those specified on the APA Requirement
_: Reporting Form A should be identified and approximately quantified as stated in the APAM
Reporting Form A instructions. This part (item 2) of the APAM requirement is to be referred to as
the "10 significant peaks rule".
F. The permittee shall not use any biocides except those approved in conjunction with the permit
application. The permittee shall notify the Director in writing not later than ninety (90) days prior
to instituting use of any additional biocide used in cooling systems which may be toxic to aquatic
life other than those previously reported to the Division of Environmental Management. Such
notification shall include completion of Biocide Worksheet Form 101 and a map locating the
discharge point and receiving stream.
G. In the event that violations of the fecal coliform requirements of the North Carolina water
quality standards occur as a result of this discharge, disinfection will immediately be required and
the permit amended to establish a coliform effluent limitation.

METHOD OF OPERATION
A. Introduction
This Operations Plan contains detailed operational procedures designed to comply
with applicable regulations and guidelines. Additional procedures and constraints
have been incorporated based on Bio Gro's previous land application experience
with the ultimate objective being a land application program that safeguards
public health, surface and groundwater supplies and provides an agronomic
benefit to the project area.
B. General Description of Project
Initially, Bio Gro proposes to land -apply cake biosolids from the PPG Shelby
Wastewater Treatment Plant operated by PPG Industries.
Current production will be handled as a cake of approximately 18 % solids.
Cake sludge will be loaded at the treatment plants and then transported as a cake
material in dump trailers to permitted agricultural land application sites. Bio Gro
will land -apply sludge on approved sites in accordance with the operational
procedures "and rates established in the permit. Application sites will be rotated
so as not to adversely impact local community transportation systems.
C. Land Application Procedures
Sludge Removal, Transport and Application - Cake Sludge
The cake sludge will be transported from the wastewater treatment facility
in dump trailers equipped with spill guards, full mud flaps and sealed
tailgates to approved land -application sites.

The sludge will be deposited on the field, loaded into cake spreaders with
a high flotation front-end loader and then distributed on the field from the
spreader. The cake spreader will either be a type which can be pulled
behind a farm tractor or the box will be mounted on the frame of a high
flotation land application vehicle.
Acceptable locations for sludge unloading or staging areas are determined
case -by -case by the project/field manager or his designee. Consideration
is given to the following factors: - elevation to avoid low spots, lack of
slope, distance the application vehicle must travel to apply the sludge, and
availability of truck access. In all cases, staging areas are selected so as
to allow coverage of the field from one field border and proceeding to the
opposite border so as to prevent "painting oneself into a comer." This
method allows total coverage of the field such that the unloading vehicles
will not drive through areas where sludge has been applied.
The mode of application will be surface application with the sludge being
incorporated by discing within 48 hours after the sludge is applied.
Discing will not occur on pasture and hay fields and on cropped field
where the farmer has adequate crop residue and wants to maintain a no -till
or minimum tillage system.
Sludge distribution on the land application sites will be uniform throughout
the permitted area. To ensure adequate control of the application rate for
each site, the equipment used for spreading the sludge will be calibrated
by measuring the amount handled on a known square footage. While the
rate of discharge from the application vehicle is fixed, the speed of the
equipment can be adjusted to maintain the flow rate needed to achieve
specific application rates.
A summary of equipment to be employed on the project is as follows:
a. Four to six tractor/dump trailer units. The number will vary
depending on travel time to land application sites.
b. Two rubber tired front-end loaders.
c. One to two cake spreaders with 10-14 wet tons' capacity. The
number will vary depending on the configuration of the land
application sites as it affects application time with efficiency. The
cake spreader boxes will either be a type which can be pulled
behind a farm tractor or the box will be mounted on the frame of
a high flotation land application vehicle.

d. A tractor and disc assembly, is to be used for sludge
incorporation.
Operations will be discontinued when soils are saturated and will not be
resumed until sufficient drying of the field has occurred.
The truck units will be inspected; licensed and appropriately marked as
required for the purpose of transporting the sludge material. To prevent
adherence of the sludge to the transport vehicle, the dump trailers will be
equipped with full rear mud flaps. This will preclude the sludge from
adhering to the tires and undercarriage of the transport vehicle, thereby
minimizing the possibility of sludge being tracked onto roadways. Sludge
adhering to the mud flap will be scraped off in the field before the truck
proceeds back to the roadway.
2. Sludge Removal. Transport. and Application - Liquid Sludge
Bio Oro plans to gravity load trucks from the digester tanks through a ten
inch line feeding the drying beds. A loading tower will be constructed as
the drying beds to top load the tankers. This method will be used as long
as the sludge will flow from the tanks, when the flow stops, it will be
pumped.
Liquid sludge will be removed from the digesters by pumping a Flygt
Model CS-3151, six inch (6") submersible pump. The pump will be
suspended from a metal "A" frame secured to the top of the digester.
Water will be added as necessary through the use of a high pressure hose,
to liquefy the sludge and move it to the pump. The Flygt pump requires
three-phase electrical current which will be obtained through the public
utility, or, if necessary, an on -site generator.
The sludge will be pumped from the digesters through six-inch flexible
wall hose to a wooden or steel loading tower. The flexible wall hose will
be connected to rigid PVC pipe at the loading tower. A remote control
switch will be located at the top of the loading tower to control the power
source to the pump in the digester. The tractor/tank trailer units will pull
under the loading tower with the tank trailer being filled through a hatch
located on top of the trailer.
Sludge will be transported from the digesters in tractor/tank trailer units
to approved land application sites. The transport will deliver the sludge
to high -flotation land application vehicles stationed on the field receiving
sludge. The sludge transfer will be through a suction hose and the land
application vehicle will perform all sludge distribution.
Sludge distribution on the sites will be uniform throughout the distribution

area. The mode of application will be subsurface injection or surface
application followed by incorporation by discing. Injection and
incorporation will not occur on pasture and hay fields and on cropped
fields where the farmer has adequate crop residue and wants to maintain
a no -till or minimum tillage system.
To ensure adequate control of the , application rate for each site, the
equipment used for spreading the sludge will be calibrated by measuring
the amount handled on a known square footage. While the rate of
discharge from the application vehicle is fixed, the speed of the equipment
can be adjusted to maintain whatever flow rate is desired to achieve,
specific application rates.
A summary of equipment to be employed on the project is as. follows:
a) Totally enclosed, watertight tanker trucks of 6000-6500
gallon .capacity.
b) High flotation land application vehicles of 2,000 to 4,000
gallon capacity.
c) A tractor and disc assembly for sludge incorporation.
Operations will be discontinued during periods of inclement weather and
will not be resumed until sufficient drying of the fields has occurred.
The truck units will be inspected, licensed and appropriately marked as
required for the purposes of transporting the sludge material.
3. Site Operation
a. The principal method of application will be: cake sludge - surface
application with the sludge being incorporated by discing, liquid
sludge - injection. Discing and injection will not occur on pasture
and hay fields and on cropped fields where the farmer has
adequate crop residue and wants to maintain a no -till or minimum
tillage system.
b. The amount of sludge applied will be limited to the annual
allowable dry tons per acre as required by the permit for the site.
4. The following buffer zones shall be maintained:
a. 400 feet from residences under separate ownership for surface application
method,

b. 200 feet from residences under separate ownership for injection method,
C. 100 feet from "SA and SB" classified waters and public surface water
supplies for both methods,
d. 50 feet from "WS" classified waters and other streams, creeks, lakes,
rivers, and surface water drainage ways for injection method,
e. 100 feet from "WS" classified waters and other streams, creeks, lakes,
rivers and surface water drainage ways for surface application method,
f. 50 feet from property lines for both methods,
g. 50 feet from public right of ways for surface application method,
h. 10 feet from upslope interceptor drains and surface water diversions for
both methods,
i. 25 feet from downslope interceptor drains, surface water diversions,
groundwater drainage systems and surface drainage ditches for both
methods,
j. Buffer zones will be flagged and no sludge will be applied within the
buffer zones. The most restrictive buffer will apply in combined
situations.
k. Operational Provisions will be taken to prevent soil loss through erosion.
Provisions will include contour application and avoidance of areas where
surface drainage patters result in concentrated flow of runoff from rainfall.
1. Seasonably wet areas are of concern only during very brief periods of the
year with abnormally high precipitation, usually during the months of
December through March. In the unlikely event that such seasonal
ponding does occur when Bio Gro would normally be applying sludge,
these areas will be buffered by flagging. In addition, good agronomic
practice requires that areas which are unseasonably wet and would
produce rutting or damage to the field will .not be utilized for sludge
application operations during those periods.
M. The amount of sludge applied will not exceed the hydraulic capacity of the
soil at the time of each application. If a subsequent pass across a field is
necessary to achieve the desired application rate, sufficient drying time
will be allowed between passes.
n. Operations will be discontinued when soils are saturated and will not be
resumed until sufficient drying of the field has occurred.

o. Sludge may be applied on frozen ground that has crop residue sufficient
to prevent surface runoff. During such application, the maximum slope
to which sludge will be applied will be five percent.
P. A minimum of 36 inches of soil will be maintained between the deepest
point of sludge injection and bedrock or the highest elevation of seasonal
high water table condition during the -period of application.
q. Soil pH should be adjusted to 6.5 or higher at the time of application.
r. Crops for direct human consumption with the harvested edible portion in
contact with .the sludge -amended soil shall not be planted for a period of
18 months following the last application (as defined in The U.S. EPA's
1979 regulations on land applications 40 CFR 257.3-6).
S. Public access to sites which have had sludge applied will be controlled for
a period of 12 months from the time of the last sludge application.
t. Sludge shall not be applied on areas exceeding 18 percent slope for
injection or surface application with incorporation and 10 percent for
surface application without incorporation.
U. All grazing by animals whose products are consumed by humans must be
prevented for one month following the last application event. Any hay or
forage harvested during this same time period will not be fed to these
animals for one month following the sludge application event.
D. Project Control
1. Management
To ensure sludge is continuously applied at the correct application rate and in a
manner consistent with the Operations Plan, a Bio Gro project/field manager will
be in direct charge of the field operations, controlling the amount of sludge
delivered to each field, and conducting daily field inspections. Field inspections
will include:
a. Flagging of buffers prior to application.
b. Control of the amount of sludge delivered to each field.
C. Formal field inspection each operating day. The field inspection shall
include ensuring that: flags are in place, sludge is applied uniformly at
the designated application rate, setbacks are observed, trucks are
unloading at best location, trucks are not driving over sludge, trucks are
cleaned before leaving the field and the land application equipment is
maintained in working condition.

2. Spill Prevention and Control
In the unlikely event of a spill, Bio Gro will take the following action
immediately.
a. Halt Source of spill. Use of any leaking or damaged unit which
is causing the spill will cease immediately. The unit will be
repaired before resuming its use.
b. Contain Spill. In the event large quantities of sludge have been
spilled, straw bales will be used where available to either form a
barrier or soak -up sludge.
C. Clean -Up. Depending on the type and amount of sludge spilled,
a variety of equipment may be used to remove the sludge: front-
end loader, shovels and brooms and vacuum equipment of a liquid
sludge applicator. Any sludge removed from the spill site will be
spread on an approved application site.
d. Final Clean -Up. Flush roadways with water or sweep as necessary
to clean. Allow to dry and incorporate if spill occurs on non -
paved and tillable area. In the event a spill occurs on private
property, final clean-up should be completed immediately to the
satisfaction of the owner.
e. Management of Clean -Up Efforts. The project manager will take
immediate charge and initiate clean-up activities. Bio Gro labor
will be used, with additional labor secured as needed. The project
manager will also communicate with the public on the scene,
answering questions and advising of clean-up activities.
f. Reporting. All spills will be reported immediately to:
Regional Supervisor
Water Quality Section
North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and
Natural Resources
911 North Main Street
Mooresville, NC 28115
[phone]

office, a written report detailing how the spill occurred and remedial action
taken.
g. Spill Prevention. Project manager will take the following steps:
1) \ Ensure truck drivers watch trailer while loading and do not overload.
2) Ensure trailer hatches are closed and latched while transporting.
3) Inspect trailer seals daily and replace as necessary.
4) Ensure unloading operations in the field are conducted to minimize any
potential runoff or tracking.
3. Safety
Careful attention to safe working conditions and methods of operation (e.g. the
proper method of lifting heavy objects and the operation of heavy equipment only
by trained and competent operators) should preclude most of the potential for safety
hazards in the land application operation. Should an accident occur, the project
manager will be informed immediately and will thoroughly investigate and
complete an accident report, including the workman's compensation and liability
forms. He will notify City of Lincolnton of any accidents.
First -aid kits and manuals will be kept on -site at the field, as well as in the
transport vehicles.
The implementation of all safety and housekeeping procedures will be the
responsibility of the project manager. The project manager will maintain the work
areas so as to protect the health and safety of all personnel using the areas.
E. Monitoring and Reporting
1. Description
This section describes the internal controls employed by Bio Gro to ensure compliance
with established dosage rates and the procedures for preparing reports of land
application operations.
Land application activities are monitored on a daily basis through the use of Truck
Reports and Daily Reports and on a weekly basis through the use of a Weekly Report.
These reports, along with the sludge analysis report, provide the data used for
preparation of monthly and annual reports.
A Field Report is prepared monthly to portray activity for each field receiving sludge

during the reporting period. It specifies the amount of sludge applied; the method(s)
of application; nutrient and trace metal loadings (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, zinc,
copper, lead, nickel and cadmium); date of application and the lifetime additions of
metals.
A Monthly Report includes a Dosage Rate Evaluations for each sludge applied,
(including sludge chemical analyses), and a Field Report for each field to which sludge
is applied.
Monthly Reports will be submitted to the regional office of the North Carolina
Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources and the City of Lincolnton.
F. Site Selection and Submittal
Prospective sites for receiving sludge are inspected by Bio Gro personnel and evaluated
for suitability.
The site -specific information included for each site is listed below:
1. Field Summary Sheet
A Field Summary Sheet of the fields proposed for sludge application, field acreage,
and the owner of each field.
2. Owner/Operator Agreements
Copies of signed agreements secured from the farm operator and landowner.
3. Field Data Sheet - Soils Information
A Field Data Sheet format for displaying essential data regarding each field within
a site. Nearly all sites will contain more than one field or plot.
4. Soils
A soils map of the site taken from the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) Soil Survey
Manual will be provided when a current published or interim SCS soil survey is
available.
Soil samples will be taken from all fields for laboratory analysis.
Each field will be sampled by taking a number of cores and mixing them to -form
a composite sample. The cores will be obtained with a tube -type soil sampler (one -
inch diameter) by first scraping away surface litter and then inserting the sampler
to plant -root depth, eight inches for row crops, or a depth of four inches for
pastureland. The cores will be taken while walking a "zig-zag" pattern across the

field so as to obtain a representative sample of the particular field (see following
illustration). TYPICAL SOIL SAMPLING PATTERN
Care will be taken to avoid areas or soil conditions that are different, such as
fertilizer spills, poorly drained areas, dead furrows, fertilizer bands, or any other
unusual areas. After mixing, the composite sample will be packaged and sent to
a laboratory for analysis.
Soil samples will be evaluated for Cation Exchange Capacity, pH and plant
nutrients. Results of soil analyses will be included in the site package.
5. Flood Plain Map
Each field is examined to determine whether any portion is in the 100 year flood
plain. If it is determined that a field is in the flood plain a map is included to
show to what extent.
6. Topographic Map
A topographic map of the site is provided. The USGS 7.5 minute quadrangle, if
available, will be used as the base on which the field will be shown.
7. S ite Plan
A site plan outlining boundaries and buffer zones on an aerial photograph.
8. Vicinity lylap
A vicinity map will be provided indicating the general vicinity of the site in
relation to country roadways.
Once a site has received approval for land application, the site is placed in an eligible
category. Landowners are contacted frequently regarding the site availability. When
the harvest schedule is known or a site otherwise becomes available, it is placed on an
active list which is updated according to project needs.
As the project progresses, additional sites will be selected for land application. These
sites will be submitted on a periodic basis for review and approval by the North
Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources.

G.
Crops and Dosage Rate Selection
Land application of sludge will be limited to field crops including corn, soybeans, small
grains, grasses and alfalfa. Actual dosage rates will be determined by the nitrogen
requirement for the crop to be produced. The crop nitrogen requirement is a function
of crop selection and yield goal.
Sludge application rates for City of Lincolnton sludges will be limited by either nitrogen
or annual allowable cadmium loadings.
When sludge application rates are limited by nitrogen, the rates shall not exceed the
following crop nitrogen requirements taken from Table 5-3 General Guidelines for Land
Treatment of Sludge, L. D. King and P. W. Westerman, August 1983.

The sites contained in this package were evaluated, by
examining existing USDA-SCS Soil Survey information, the soil
material exposed in a series of hand auger borings and by soil
sampling and testing. Other important items that were taken into
consideration were depth to bedrock and seasonal high water table.
Topography
Slope on these sites are typical of the area of the state.
The slopes range from nearly level to the maximum of approximately
8 percent in extreme cases. Topography will not limit injection or
surface application of waste on these sites.
Soils
The soils information necessary to determine suitability for
the land application of treated sludge must address both agronomic
and engineering properties of the soil materials encountered on the
sites. These properties can be evaluated on a preliminary basis by
examining published literature such as that contained in Soil
Surveys published through the Soil Conservation Service. - In
addition, an actual site investigation is necessary to confirm the
soils information contained in the soil survey. The soils were
evaluated by examining soil material extracted from the sites with
a hand auger. Hand auger borings were taken at selected locations
on the sites representative of the major soil types represented in
the soil survey. The soil material extracted was evaluated with
increasing depth for selected properties. Those properties
include: depth, color, texture, presence of restrictive horizons
and presence or absence of a seasonal high water table or bedrock
within 3 feet of the sludge application zone. In addition, a
series of core samples were collected and composited from the plow
layer on the sites to determine soil cation exchange capacity and
pH to establish background levels for selected site constituents.
The results of the auger borings and core samples are contained in
this submittal.

Several factors should be taken into consideration in determining sites
agricultural suitability to receive biosolids. These factors are soils, crop
rotations, loading rates and nutrient requirements.
The crop types and cropping schedules are investigated prior to a site being
considered as a biosolids application site. The sites in this submittal consist
of row crop (corn, soybeans, small grains) with some permanent pasture and hay
land.
Biosolids analysis information is reviewed to determine the most limiting
application rate factor. For this project nitrogen is the most limiting factor.
When applying to row crops, biosolids will be applied prior to planting or
after harvest (this would provide nutrients for the next planting). Timing of
application is important with permanent pasture and hay crops. Biosolids should
be applied on these crops after grazing period or hay cutting.
Soil testing of the sites included in this application indicates that soil
pH 5.5 - 6.4 on most sites. The lime recommendations are generally made based
on raising the pH to a standard of 6.5. The nutrient requirements are a direct
function of specific crop needs. Recommendations found in the University System
and Extension service publications, crop fertilization based on soil tests, for
specific crops should be used to determine nutrient requirements. Application
reates are based on the annual nitrogen requirements for each particular crop
being grown. This application rate will also supply sufficient phosphorus for
plant growth. In many instances such as with zinc, sulphur, and copper essential
micro -nutrients are also supplied to the plant. The resulting trace metal
loadings at nitrogen limited rates are minimal. Because of the low levels of
metal additions there is no cause for concern with regard to concentration of
metals in plant tissues. Salt additions at these application rates do not pose
a problem. In general salts are not a problem in humid and sub humid regions
because there is sufficient rainfall to leach them down through the soil profile
and away from the crop root zone.
The crop being grown on the site in this submittal are primarily corn,
soybeans, wheat, other small grains, permanent pasture and hay: There are no
restrictions on harvesting and marketing this crop other than there shall be no
animals grazing on biosolids applied fields for 30 days following application.
My review of the soils and crop rotations proposed for this project find the
submitted sites to be suitable for the land application of sludge.

Residual Nitrogen Mineralization Calculations
Since biosolids from the PPG.Shelby are anaerobically digested, a
mineralization rate of 20 was utilized. While most of the
mineralizable organic nitrogen in biosolids is converted to
inorganic nitrogen in the year it is applied, there is some
continued decomposition of organic nitrogen in succeeding years.
This continued decomposition of organic nitrogen can provide a
small portion of the nitrogen needed for crop growth in subsequent
years.. It is important to note, however, that agricultural
fertilization including biosolids utilization is not an exact
science, but rather a science of averages. This is especially true
because weather conditions effect so many agricultural parameters
including mineralization. Mineralization rates and estimates of
organic nitrogen released in subsequent years used by State and
Federal regulators are average values for specific types of
biosolids. Because these are average values and because of the
very small amount of nitrogen mineralized in subsequent years, it
is somewhat risky for the farmer to rely on carry-over nitrogen for
crop production:
It is incorrect to assume that the same acreage would be used for
five years and that the most conservative application rate would be
applied (small grain). If the lowest application rate was used,
the project would require 278.87 acres per year.
The total applicable acres submitted in this application for permit
is 55.5 requiring that an additional 223.37 acres be identified and
permitted for the yearly program. PPG is in the process of
identifying appropriate,land to be used in the long term program.
A combination of crop, pasture and hay and will be identified to
offer year round availability of land. The present method of
disposal island filling.
There is noway of accurately calculating residual nitrogen loading
for five years because the PAN and organic nitrogen number for each
year will be different. Also the amount of sludge_ to be land
applied annually may change over a five year period.
Based on the above information and the fact that PPG Shelby
currently is using land filling calculating five years worth of
nitrogen, mineralization would be meaningless.
