6. All residuals included in this permit must be monitored every 60 days, from the date of
permit issuance, for compliance with condition I.11 of this permit. Data to verify
stabilization and vector attraction reduction of the residuals must be maintained by the
Permittee. The required data is specific to the stabilization process utilized, but should be
sufficient to clearly demonstrate compliance the Class A pathogen requirements in 40 CFR
Part 503.32(a) or with the Class B pathogen requirements and site restrictions in 40 CFR
Part 503.32(b), and one of vector attraction reduction requirements in 40 CFR Part 503.33.
In addition, the EPA certification statements concerning compliance with pathogen
requirements, vector attraction reduction requirements and management practices must be
completed every 60 days by the proper authority or authorities if more than one is involved,
either the person who prepares the, residuals, the person who derives the material, or the
person who applies the residuals.
After the residuals have been monitored for two years at the above frequency, the Permittee
may request a permit modification for the reduction of the frequency of monitoring for
pollutant concentrations and for the pathogen density requirements, but in no case shall the
frequency of monitoring be less than once per year when residuals are applied to the land.
7. Three copies of all required monitoring and reporting requirements as specified in
conditions lII 1, III 2, III 3, III 4, III 5 and III 6 shall be submitted annually on or before
March 1 of the following year to the following address:
NC Division of Environmental Management

The Permittee shall report by telephone to the Mooresville Regional Office, telephone
number 704/ 663-1699 as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours or on the
next working day following the occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence of any of
the following:
a. Any occurrence with the land application program which results in the land application
of significant amounts of wastes which are abnormal in quantity or characteristic.
b. Any failure of the land application program resulting in a release of material to receiving
waters.
c. Any time that self -monitoring information indicates that the facility has gone out of
compliance with the conditions and limitations of this permit or the parameters on
which the system was designed.
d. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that render the facility
incapable of adequate residual treatment.
e. Any spillage or discharge from a vehicle or piping system transporting residuals to the
application site.

IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
The three (3) existing monitor wells (MW-1, MW-2, MW-4) at the Sigmon farm shall be
sampled every March, July, and November for the following parameters:
NO3 Ammonia Nitrogen
TDS TOC
pH Water Level
Chloride Fecal Coliforms
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
2. The measurement of water levels must be made prior to sampling for the remaining
parameters. The depth to water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on
the top of the casing.
The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to
provide the relative elevation of the measuring point for each monitoring well.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent to the Groundwater Section, Permits
and Compliance Unit, P.O. Box 29535 Raleigh, N.C. 27626-0535 on Form GW-59
[Compliance Monitoring Report Form] every April, August and December.
6. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified by regulations in
15A NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. The Compliance Boundary is
for the disposal system constructed after December 31, 1983 is established. at either (1) 250
feet from the waste disposal area, or (2) 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is
closest to the waste disposal area. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or
beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to immediate remediation action in addition to
the penalty provisions applicable under General Statute 143-215.6A(a)(1).
In accordance with 15A NCAC 2L, a REVIEW BOUNDARY is established around the
disposal systems midway between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the
waste disposal area. Any exceedance of standards at the Review Boundary shall require
remediation action on the part of the permittee.
7. Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be
provided.
8 —

8. No land application of waste activities shall be undertaken when the seasonal high water
table is less than three feet below land surface.
9. Within 60 days of permit issuance, monitoring well No. 3 (MW-3), shall be abandoned in
accordance with 15A NCAC 2C.0113 (Abandonment of Wells). A well abandonment
record (form GW-30) attached must be submitted to the Mooresville Regional Office upon
abandonment of the monitor wells.
V . INSPECTIONS
The Permittee or his designee shall inspect the residuals storage, transport, and application
facilities to prevent malfunctions and deterioration, operator errors and discharges which
may cause or lead to the release of wastes to the environment, a threat to human health, or a
nuisance. The Permittee shall maintain an inspection log or summary including at least the
date and time of inspection, observations made, and any maintenance, repairs, or corrective
actions taken by the Permittee. This log of inspections shall be maintained by the Permittee

jlUISION OF E016...:, "'rl,L MAc1Aoulw
48ORESVILLE iL6UML OFFICE
The Groundwater Section has reviewed the subject permit amendment request for the
continued operation of the sludge land application program. The permittee has proposed to modify
the following:
1. Modification: Add the following sites to the permit:
Owner Site
Maiden Amusement Site #6
Jeffery Smyre Site #7
David Seaford Site #8
Response: We have no objection to this change.

2. Modification: Delete the following fields from the permit:
Owner Site
Sigmon Dairy Farm Site' #1
(Fields 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,13)
Ralph Sigmon Site #4
Response: We have no objection to this change.
Modification: Abandon monitor wells MW-2 and MW-3 (two of the four monitor wells at
the Simon Dairy farm), since the fields are no longer being used for sludge
land application.
Response: We recommend that monitor well no. MW-2 at field no. 8 (Sigmon Dairy
Farm) not to be abandoned and continued to be sampled, even though sludge
is no longer applied to this site. The permittee has indicated that the high
levels of nitrates are probably derived from animal wastes that are applied to
the same field. Although nitrate levels have dropped since application of
sludge has ceased, the levels of nitrate still exceed the 2L standards (10mg/1).
We recommend that this well continued to be sampled until exceedances for
nitrates no longer occur. We have no objection for the abandonment of
monitor well no. MW-3 at field no. 1 (Sigmon Dairy Farm).
In conclusion we have no objection to issuance of the permit, provided that the following
conditions are included:
No land application of waste activities shall be undertaken when the seasonal high
water table is less than three feet below land surface.
2. All buffers shall be adhered to.
3. Within 60 days of permit issuance, monitor well # 3 (MW-3), shall be abandoned in
accordance with 15ANCC 2C.0113 (Abandonment of Wells). A well Abandonment
record (form GW-30, attached must be submitted to the Mooresville Regional Office
upon abandonment of the monitor wells.

The three (3) existing monitor wells (MW-1, MW-2, MW-4) at the Sigmon Dairy
Farm shall be sampled every March, July, and November for the following
parameters:
pH
NO3
Ammonia Nitrogen
TOC
Fecal Coliforms
Chloride
IDS
Water Level
Volatile Organic Compounds - In November Only (by Method 1 below)
Method 1: Method 6230D (Capillary - Column), "Standard Methods For
The Examination of Water and Wastewater", 17th ed., 1989
5. The measurement of water levels must be made prior to sampling for the remaining
parameters. The depth to water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed
point on the top of the casing.
The measuring points (top ofwell casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to
provide the relative elevation of the measuring point for each monitoring well.
6. 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.
7. If any volatile organic compounds are detected by method 6230D, then the
Mooresville Regional Office groundwater supervisor (phone number: 704-663-1699)
must be contacted immediately for further instructions regarding any additional
follow-up analyses required. Th results of all initial and follow-up analyses must be
submitted simultaneously.

8. The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent to the Groundwater Section,
Permits and Compliance Unit, P.O. Box 29578 Raleigh, N.C. 27626-0578 on Form
GW-59 [Compliance Monitoring Report Form] every April, August, and December.
9. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified by regulations
in 15A NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. The Compliance
Boundary is for the disposal system constructed after December 31, 1983 is
established at either (1) 250 feet from the waste disposal area, or (2) 50 feet within
the property boundary, whichever is closest to the waste disposal area. An
exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance
Boundary is subject to immediate remediation action in addition to the penalty
provisions applicable under General Statute 143-215.6A(a)(1).
In accordance with 15A NCAC 2L, a REVIEW BOUNDARY is established around
the disposal systems midway between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of
the waste disposal area. Any exceedance of standards at the Review Boundary shall
require remediation action on the part of the permittee.
10. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division,
shall be provided.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The City of Newton has requested a modification to the
subject Permit for the addition of 410.4 acres to the City's land
application program. The City has also requested that the
following sites be deleted from the current land application
Permit due to the property owners declining to participate any
further in the City's land application program:
Ralph Sigmon - Site No. 4
Sigmon Dairy Farm - Site No.
6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 13.
1, Fields No. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
The sites proposed for addition to the City's land
application program were found to be excellent sites for the
disposal of municipal sludge. The soils found on the sites are
considered good to excellent for residuals application. The soils
found on the sites are deep, well drained with no restrictive
horizons observed. The majority of the sites are well buffered
from off -site residences. Historically, the City's land
application program has not generated a significant number of

Removal of Monitoring Wells
Gentlemen,
The City of Newton in its application for renewal of land application permit has requested
that a portion of land owned by Sigmon Dairy Farm be removed from its permit. This portion of
land consists of fields #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #12, and #13. We would like to
request that the downgradient wells located adjacent to these fields, well #2 and well #3, be
removed from the permit and that we be allowed to close these wells. I have inclosed a map
showing the location of these fields and wells.
The City of Newton has not land applied any sludge on any of these fields since March,
1993, and does not plan to apply any in the future. Land application activities began on this site in
1983. Since the ground water monitoring wells were not installed until 1991 we have no true
background information. I have inclosed the results of all our ground water monitoring.
The nitrate level of #2 well has been consistantly high since we began monitoring it in
1991. This site has been farmed for decades, and we believe that the high nitrate levels are a result
of farming operations. Manure is piled near the barn which is upgrade from #2 well, and has been
applied in the area of #2 well for years. We have noticed some decrease in the nitrate level since
we stopped land application_activitiesin-this_area._
Please advise of your response to this request. If I may be of further assistance please
contact me at (704)-465-7480.
Sincerely,
ames A. Richards

V . PATHOGEN AND VECTOR ATTRACTION REDUCTION INFORMATION (attach additional pages for
additional sources of residuals):
1. In accordance with 40 CFR Part 503, a residual can not be land applied if it does not meet one of the following alternatives
for Class B pathogen reduction.
5 Please specify a, bl, b2, b3, b4, b5 or c from below (submit all lab analysis, test results and calculations):
S C E A �C.6E ►'Yl-3
a. at least seven residuals samples should be collected at the time of use and analyzed for Fecal coliforms during each
monitoring period. The geometric mean of the densities of these samples will be calculated and should be less than
2,000,000 most probable number per gram of total dry solids, or less than 2,000,000 Colony Forming Units per gram
of total dry solids.
b. the residuals must be treated by one of the following "Process to Significantly Reduce Pathogens" (PSRP).
1. Aerobic Digestion - residuals are agitated with air or oxygen to maintain aerobic conditions for a mean cell
residence time and temperature between 40 days at 200 C and 60 days at 150 C.
2. Air I2Cdng - residuals are dried on sand beds or on paved or basins for a minimum of three months. During two of
the three months, the ambient average daily temperature is above 00 C.
3. Anaerobic Digestion - residuals are treated in the absence of air for a mean cell residence time and temperature
between 15 days at 350 C to 550 C and 60 days at 200 C.
4.(_ompQ tine - using either the within -vessel, static aerated pile, or windrow composting methods, the temperature
of the residuals are raised to 400. C or higher for five days. For four hours during the five days, the temperature in
the compost pile exceeds 550 C.
5. Lime Stabilization - sufficient lime is added to the residuals to raise the pH of the residuals to 12 after two hours
of contact.
c. The residuals shall be treated by a process that is equivalent to a "Process to Significantly Reduce Pathogens" (PSRP),
as determined by the permitting authority, based on an evaluation of the recommendations provided by the Pathogen
Equivalency Committee.
2. In addition, when residuals are being land applied, at least one of the following vector attraction reduction requirements (a,
b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, or j) described below must be met. -
Specify -the- letter(s) of the vector attraction reduction -requirement that have been- met (submit lab results, test
results and calculations). Any variation of the below must be described in full detail and attached.
S c-Ef��C 3
a. Aerobic or anaerobic Digestion - The mass of volatile solids are reduced y at least 38%. Volatile solids reduction is
measured between the residuals, prior to stabilization, and the residuals ready for use or disposal. This criterion should
be readily met by properly designed and operated anaerobic digestors, but not as readily met by aerobic digesters.
Treatment facilities with aerobic digestors may need -to meet the vector -attraction reduction requirement through 18c or - --
18d. -
b. Anaerobic Digestion - If 38% volatile solids reduction cannot be achieved, vector attraction reduction can be
demonstrated by further digesting a portion of the previously digested residuals in a bench scale unit for an additional
40 days at 300 C to 370 C. If, at the end of the 40 days, the volatile solids are reduced by less than 17%, vector
attraction reduction is achieved.
c. Aerobic Digestion - If 38% volatile solids reduction cannot be achieved, vector attraction reduction can be demonstrated
by further digesting a portion of the previously digested residuals that have a solids content of 2% or less in a bench
scale unit for an additional 30 days at 20° C. If, at the end of the 30 days, the volatile solids are reduced by less than
15%, vector attraction reduction is achieved.
d. Aerobic Digestion - The spec oxygen uptake rate (SOUR) shall be equal to or less than 1.5 milligrams of oxygen
per hour per gram of total dry solids at 200 C.
e. Aerobic Processes - The temperature of the residuals for at least 14 days shall be greater than 400 C. During this time,
the average temperature shall be -greater than 450 C.
f. Alkaline Stabiliazation -The pH of the residuals is raised to 12 or higher by alkali addition and, without the addition of
more alkali, remains at 12 or higher for 2 hours and then at 11.5 or higher for an additional 22 hours.
FORM: LARS 06/94 Page 4. of 18

g. D Sing (stabilized solids) - The total. solids of residuals that do not contain unstabilized solids, and which are generated
in a primary wastewater treatment process, shall be equal to or greater than 75%. Blending with other materials is not
allowed to achieve the total solids percentage.
h. Dnjn_p (unstabilized solids) - The total solids of residuals that contains unstabilized solids, and which are generated in a
primary wastewater treatment process, shall be equal to or greater than 90%. Blending with other materials is not
allowed to achieve the total solids percentage.
i. 111jeclion - Liquid residuals are injected below the land surface, with no significant amount of residuals present on the
land surface after 1 hour, unless the residuals are Class A for pathogen reduction. In this case, the residuals shall be
injected within 8 hours after being discharged from the pathogen treatment process.
j. Inco=ration - Residuals that are surface land applied shall be incorporated into the soil within 6 hours of application,
unless the residuals are Class A for pathogen reduction. In this case, the residuals shall be incorporated within 8 hours
after discharge from the pathogen treatment process.

and all dwellings within 500 feet of the land application areas; and all buffers. S CC__ � G UPS C_2 J0__C
Note: At least the following buffers must be maintained. If residuals are sprayed on the sites, larger buffers may be
1. 400 feet from any habitable residence or place of public assembly under separate ownership or which is to be sold
for surface residual application,
200 feet from any habitable residence or place of public assembly under separate ownership or which is to be sold
for subsurface residual injection.
2. 100 feet between the disposal area and any public or private water supply source, all streams classified as WS or B,
waters classified as SA or SB and any Class I or Class H impounded reservoir used as a source of drinking water.t
3. 100 feet between any surface residual application area and any stream, lake, river, or natural drainage way,
50 feet between any subsurface residual injection area and any stream, lake, river, or natural drainage way.t
4. 50 feet between the residual application area and property lines for both surface and subsurface application (if the
original permit was Issued with the buffer distance to property line as 100 feet, updated
maps must be submitted and new acreage delineated for the buffer to be reduced).
5. 10 feet between the disposal area and any interceptor drains or surface water diversions (upslope).

scientist) which addresses soil color; the depth, thickness and type of restrictive,horizons; the presence or absence of a
seasonal high water table or bedrock within three vertical feet of the deepest point of residual application; pH and cation
exchange capacity. If the depth to either groundwater or bedrock is less than three feet, please also attach a demonstration,
using predictive calculations or modeling methods acceptable to the Director of the Division of Environmental
Management, that the use of this site will not result in the contravention of classified groundwater standards as contained in
NCAC 2L .0200. In no case shall the separation be less than one foot. This report must be signed by the soil
scientist and submitted with application.S
3. For each site, please attach a project evaluation conducted by an agronomist including recommendations concerning cover
crops and their ability to accept the proposed loading of liquids, solids, nitrogen, phosphorus, heavy metals, salts and any
other contaminant know to be in the residual. A part of the agronomists recommendations must be a crop management
plan. This plan must determine the crops to be grown on the site(s), when they should be grown and how they should be
harvested and marketed. This report must be signed by the agronomist and submitted with application.

DESCRIPTION OF PROCESS PRODUCING RESIDUALS

/z
Description of Process Producing Residuals
The City of Newton operates an activated sludge wastewater treatment plant. The 5.0 MGD plant
went into operation in 1979. The plant has been expanded to a capacity of 7.5 MGD. The current
average daily flow is approximately 2.0 MGD. The plant handles both industrial and domestic
wastewater flows. The Clark Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility is a regional facility that also
handles flows from the City of Hickory and the City of Conover. The plant has an active pre- ---
treatment program, and a modern laboratory. The plant operates three shifts, and currently has a
staff of seventeen certified operators and laboratory technicians.
The wastewater enters the plant at the influent building, where it passes through dual bar screens
and flow meters. The wastewater is pumped from this location to the lime/grit building. At this
location there are dual grit chambers and pre -aeration blowers. Slaked lime is added to the
wastewater as it flows from this location to two reactor clarifiers. The sludge that settles in the
reactor clarifiers, along with the skimmings, is pumped to gravity thickeners for disposal.
The reactor clarifier effluent flows to the aeration basin(s), where it is mixed with return activated
sludge from the secondary clarifiers. There are four aeration basins, with each basin having three
fixed platform surface mounted mechanical aerators. Each of these aeration basins has a capacity
of 1.25 million gallons. One to four of these basins are operated, in parallel, depending on the
amount of influent flow.
The aeration basin effluent flows to three secondary clarifiers. The excess activated sludge is
wasted from this location to the thickeners for disposal. The secondary clarifier effluent flows to _
two multimedia sand filters, and then to the chlorine contact basins. Located at the effluent end of
- the-chlorine-contact-basins-are-reaeration-basins.-The-plant effluent -flows -from this -location -into ---
Clark Creek.
Lime is added to the settled reactor lime sludge and secondary waste activated sludge that is
pumped into the thickeners. The settled, pH adjusted thickener sludge is pumped into tanker trucks
and hauled to land application sites. -The city owns capacity in a regional"comp— sling facility that -- -- - -"
can be used during inclement weather.

PATHOGEN AND VECTOR REDUCTION INFORMATION

21
Pathogen Reduction and Vector Attraction Reduction
We use lime stabilization as our means of pathogen reduction and vector attraction reduction. We
have two gravity thickeners, with rake mechanisms, which we operate in series. The thickeners are
capable of concentrating sludge to greater than fifteen percent solids. We have had solids
concentrations higher than twenty percent. Each of the two thickeners has a capacity of
approximately 218,000 gallons.
During normal operation we pump the settled lime sludge from each of our two reactor clarifiers
into our #2 thickener every two hours. We also pump waste activated sludge from our three
secondary clarifiers to our #2 thickener in a batch process each day, as needed We adjust the pH
of #2 thickener to greater than 12.0 by pumping lime slurry to it. The pH adjusted sludge settles to
the bottom of #2 thickener and the excess water overflows, and is returned to the head of the
plant.
We pump the settled sludge from #2 thickener to # 1 thickener. When we are pumping we
routinely check the pH to insure that in remains greater than 12.0. Tanker trucks haul the settled
sludge from # 1 thickener to our land application sites. We routinely check the pH of the sludge
being pumped into the tanker trucks, to insure that it remains -greater than 11.5.

DELIVERY AND EQUIPMENT

ATTACEMENT 4
DELIVERY AND EQUIPMENT
Biosolids will be delivered to the land application sites in leakproof tanker trucks. At the
site the biosolids are transferred to agrigators. The agrigators either spread the solids on the surface
or inject them subsurface, depending on the condition of the site.

CONTROL OF DISTRIBUTION
Even distribution is attained by driving at a speed which
allows uniform coverage at a calculated rate. The nearly level
fields are layed off into zones which are marked so the driver can
apply a known volume to a measured area.

Report of Soils Evaluation
City of Newton, North Carolina
Sludge Disposal Project
Introduction
The City of Newton, North Carolina, owns and operates a
wastewater treatment plant in Catwaba County, North Carolina. The
wastewater generated from process operations is treated for final
discharge by using a modern WWTP. As past of the process,
biosolids are also produced. The biosolids are disposed of by land
application to fields owned by local farmers.
As part of the procedure for renewing the non -discharge permit
for the sludge application sites, the North Carolina Department of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resources requires a "Soil
Scientist's Evaluation" of the soils and sites proposed or used for
land disposal.
This report is that required by the Department's Division of
Environmental Management (DEM).-
Methods
Dennis__J. Osborne,_ Ph.D., Certified Professional Soil
Scientist, evaluated -the -soils -on five --fields --proposed for land --
application of a mixture of sludge and wastewater. The sites were
-evaluated on August 23, 1995, and are located as shown on Figures
1 and 2 (maps of the sludge disposal fields located on a base map
localized topography) .
-- - Soils were evaluated by advancing hand auger borings to
describe soils to Series levels. Properties noted and combined
into Soil Series Descriptions attached as part of this report were
color, texture, consistence, structure, horizon development, slope,
depth to seasonal high water table, estimated infiltration,
permeability, plant available water capacity, CEC, and pH. The
predominant soils are shown on the Soil Survey Map attached as Map
"B" of Figures 1-8. Soil samples of each field were collected and
sent for analysis to NCDA Soil Test Lab and to Environmental
---__-Testing and Consulting, Inc. Maps "A" and "C" of Figures 1-8 show
buffers, topography and aerial views of each farm evaluated.

3Lf
Findings
Sites evaluated are shown below in Table 1. This Table is a
copy of the Table supplied as Item VII. "Site Evaluation and
Recommended Loading Rates" in the LAORS permit Application. This
Table shows 7 (seven) farms owned by various families in Catawba
County, NC.

The 7 farms were selected because they all met stringent
criteria: remote from dwellings, covered with well -drained soils,
convex landform, and surrounded by landholdings of the same
property owner, if possible, so buffers could be external to the
application area.
Figures 1(A-C) -through 8(A-C) show -the topography,
features, buffers, and soils on each site. Because the same

site
soil
The usable field area totals 410 acres in area. All fields
are covered with Hiwassee Soil. The soils are well -drained, with
seasonal high water tables deeper than three feet beneath land
surface. The Ap horizons -of clay loam are friable; the Bt horizons
of clay are friable -to firm.
Soil colors are in 5YR and 2.5YR hues, with values of 3 and 4,
chromas of 6 to 8 in B-horizons. A horizon thickness is 4 to 10
inches; B horizons extend to about 48 inches. These are similar to
Cecil Soils except that B-horizon mineralogy is mixed rather than
Kaolinitic.
Whether through genesis or man -induced erosion, the classic
"sandy" A -horizon is absent. In its place is a clay loam about 4
inches thick on shoulders, —about 4--to--10 inches thick in colluvial
positions. Under this are red, clayey, Bt horizons which extend to
about three.feet beneath land surface. The soils have dominantly
mixed mineralogy, and the moderately structured B-horizons have
moderately slow permeability. Clay content ranged

35
from 40 to 55 percent in Bt horizons. Available CEC data indicated
CEC of 5 to 10. Subsoil pH was 5.4. Depth to seasonal high water
table is deeper than 10 feet.
The soils are well -suited to the proposed use and could
probably receive biosolids at most times of the year.

PERMIT APPLICATION
Introduction
A "Soil Scientist's Report" and this document have been
prepared to support a permit application made -to NCDEHNR.
The sites are row -cropped and/or covered with tall fescue
grass. The establishment, fertility, and maintenance of the cover
crop are addressed in the following. It is expected that the
fescue will be managed for hay and grazing. The following data
relate to fescue in -general, not as forage, and are from -"Tall
Fescue: by Paul Mueller, Jim Green, and Doug Chamblee, Professors.
of Crop Science, NCSU.
Management
Tall fescue is a semi -erect bunchgrass which
-------- _-produce s_shor.-t-rhizomes that contribute -little- _ _—
to its--spread-� It can-- be-- grown in pure stands
of combined with ladino or red clover.
Fescue can be used in land application
- _systems as a receiver crop for farm manures
and industrial and municipal wastes. Pure -
stands of fescue can receive relatively large
volumes of wastes and transform these
materials into animal feed, a practice that
requires careful management.
Tall fescue remains green during most of the
year in North Carolina because it makes some
growth when the average weekly air temperature
is above 40°F. It produces the most growth
from March through May and from September
through November.

Agronomist's Report
Page Two
City of Newton - Permit Application
Planting
Plant tall fescue in late summer -early fall
for best results. In .most of the Piedmont
area August 25 to September is a good target
date. Otherwise, seed tall fescue from August
to October or between February and March.
When -broadcast -sowing in pure stand, sow 15 to
20 lbs of seed per acre (10 to 15 lbs
drilled). To seed in pasture with ladino or
red clover, use 10 lbs of fescue with 4 lbs of
ladino or 8 lbs of red clover per acre. Seed
should be placed in the upper 1/4 to 1/2
inches of soil.
Fertilizin
Apply lime and fertilizer based on a soil -
test to promote the plant's efficient use of
nutrients. The following guidelines will help
if a soil test is not available:
To Establish a Pure Stand: Usually 500 to
700 lbs/A of 10-10-10 fertilizer is required
at seeding. _
To Maintain Stands: Apply S-P20 -K20 in an
--
- approximate-4-1-2- -ratio. To do --this-,--use--300- -- - to 55 lbs/A of 0-10-20 fertilizer each spring,
60 to 100 lbs of N/A in mid -August. For
grazing, a 150-lb rate of N is probably more
efficient than higher rates. Peak periods of
-- -- --_ - -production can be -shifted by -altering -the time--
-------
N is applied. For example, sometimes it is
preferable to split N into three portions and
apply 50 to 70 lbs/A in February, April and
August( usually after August 7).
Mixture with Legume. When fescue is grown
in a mixture with a legume, nitrogen should
not be applied if the legume comprises 20% or
more of the mix. This is because the legume
- -plants will ---provide enough atmospheric N to -
meet the needs of both grass and legume.
Often a 20% legume stand will increase to a
50% stand if properly managed. On the other

Z
Agronomist's Report
Page Three
City of Newton - Permit Application
hand, using nitrogen fertilizer or animal
manure in this situation may result in loss of
the clover. Such practices can severely
reduce the legume component and lessen the
legume's nitrogen -fixing capabilities.
Sources of Nitrogen
Since most fescue is fertilized in the cool
spring months, there is very little difference
in how much N is lost from volatilization for
the major sources of N. However,' as the
temperature increases above 800F, sources that
contain urea and ammonia probably would be
less efficient than those with ammonium
nitrate.
Conclusion
No difficulty of establishment is expected and indeed
excellent stands of fescue are currently being rotated with row -
crops on the site.
The usual fertility and harvest considerations given to small
grains and silage corn grown_either _supplementally or in rotation___---_ _
with ---the- fescue vary mainly in nitrogen -application-timing.-- -While the silage corn likely cannot use much more nitrogen than can the
fescue, timing of application will vary.
_ This will cause no problems because the _corn -_(and small
__-- grains) are -grown .in plots not -used- simultaneoue-ly—for � fescue . -- ---
Following NCDA recommendations (attached) -has long proven a sound
practice, and should be followed on these sites.
It should be noted that the present g
land with these crops for generations and r
management both before and with sludge
fields. Their local experience should be
production decisions. I

How To Interpret Your Soil Test
A critical part of your soil test report is pH and'the amount of lime required for optimum yields. Low soil pH causes more yield losses than any other factor. Excessive soil acidity (low pH) hinders a crop's
capacity to utilize nutrients thus reducing efficience of applied fertilizers. The amount of lime recommended (tons/acre) is based on the current pH, amount of acidity, soil class, and desired pH of the
designated crop. The optimum pH for different soil classes is: organic (pH 5.0), mineral -organic (pH 5.5), and mineral (pH6.0). The amount of phosphate and potash recommended decreases as soil test
level increases. Guidelines for evaluating soil test index and crop response to applied fertilisers are shown in the table.
Although most field crops do not respond to phosphorus and potassium above an index' of 50, some will be recommended for certain crops beyond 50• Some growers apply phosphorus as a starter fertilizer
although none is recommended by soil test. The recommendations for nitrogen, phosphate, and potash are adequate for optium yields.
Micronutrients manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), and copper (Cu) testing above 25 are adequate and will not be recommended. Additional information is provided in the "Notes" that accompany your report.

Recommendations:
I was not sure if you got the metal results from the soil samples you left in my offs e. The results were mailed aline I was on vacation, therefore I am sending you another report. The metal
results are listed on a separate sheet of paper. The results are in ppm. There is a soil dilution factor of 10 in the printed results, therefore multiply the reported ppm values by 10 to achieve the
soil levels. Note the high phosphorus levels that are shown on sample NTI that would not have been shown on the old soil test report. Let me know if you have any questions.

A critical part of your soil test report is pH and'the amount of lime required for op f itnum yields. Low soil pH causes more yield losses than any other factor. Excessive soil acidity (low pH) hinders a crop's
capacity to utilize nutrients thus' reducing eliicience of applied fertiliiers. The amount of lime recommended (tons/acre) is based on the current pH, amount of acidity, soil class, and desired pH of the
designated crop. The optimum pH for different soil classes is: organic (pH 5.0), mineral -organic (pH 5.5), and mineral (pH6.0). The amount of phosphate and potash recommended decreases as'soil test
level increases. Guidelines for evaluating soil test index and crop response to applied fertilizers are shown in the table.
Athough most field crops do not respond to phosphorus and potassium above an ,index of 50, some will be recommended for certain crops beyond 50. Some growers apply phosphorus as a starter fertilizer
although none is recommended by soil test. The recommendations for nitrogen, phosphate, and potash are adequate for optium yields.
g copper {i g adequate and will not be recommended. Additional information is provided in the "Notes" that accompany your report.

If calculation sheets are being completed for more than one residual or site, please attach a
summary sheet that bring the results of all the calculation sheets to one point.
E. Determine the Site Life for this land application site:
The lifetime pollutant loadings shall not be exceeded. The site life is determined by calculating the number.of years that the site
can receive the residual without exceeding the lifetime pollutant loadings. The site life calculations will be based on the most
restrictive crop plant available nitrogen (PAN) requirement specified and the maximum dry tons of residuals to be land applied
annually. Therefore, in the table below the Tons of Residuals to be Applied/Acre/Year will be calculated as:
1. Most restrictive crop based on the plant available nitrogen (PAN) requirement �' O (l�l �5 t A G t
Associated plant available nitrogen (PAN) requirement zoo (lbsJacre/year)
2. Minimum acres needed based on most restrictive PAN (as found in C.5 above): 329 acres

application site is fenced and entry is through gates. Some sites are bordered by woods or streams.
At all sites where. animals are raised the animals are kept on separate fields while land application
occurs and for a minimum of 30 days thereafter. All sites are posted with signs describing the- land -
application activities.

DEFAULT MItdERALIZATTON- RATE !(M. R.i
The default mineralization rate of 20 percent is used because
it is a reasonable value based upon knowledge of the sludge
characteristics produced in the treatment process used at this
facility. none of the usual carbonaceous or sedimentary components
of most sludges occurs herein. The sludge -is highly digested both
aerobically and anaerobically and the principal component of the
sludge is the lignin from old pulp fibers.

sludge and a low value of 10 percent- for composted sludge. This
sludge is much closer in character to the latter, emphasizing the

RESIDUAL STORAGE

ATTACHMENT 13 Z
Residual StoraGe
In addition to our two thickeners we have two sludge holding tanks, with telescoping
valves, which can be used when we are unable to land apply. Each of the sludge holding tanks has
a capacity of approximately 218,000 gallons.
We have two centrifuges at our plant that were originally used to dewater our sludge. They
could be used in an emergency.
The City of Newton owns capacity in the regional composting facility located in Catawba
County. Our 26.9% ownership allows us to haul 5.38 dry tons per day, or approximately 1400 dry
tons per year, to this facility as an option to land application during inclement weather.

Permit No. WQ0003902
Removal of Monitoring Wells
Gentlemen,
The City of Newton in its application for renewal of land application permit has requested
that a portion of land owned by Sigmon Dairy Farm be removed from its permit. This portion of
land consists of fields #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6, #7, #8, #9, #10, #12, and #13. We would like to
request that the downgradient wells located adjacent to these fields, well #2 and well #3, be
removed from the permit and that we be allowed to close these_ wells. I have inclosed a map
showing the location of these fields and wells.-
- The City of Newton has not land applied any sludge on any of these fields since March,
1993, and does not plan to apply any in the future. Land application activities began on this site in
1983. Since the ground water monitoring wells were not installed until 1991 we have no true
background information. I have inclosed the results of all our ground water monitoring.
- The nitrate level of #2 well has been consistanily high since we began monitoring it in
1991. This site has been farmed for decades, and we believe that the high nitrate levels are a result
of farming operations. Manure is piled near the barn which is upgrade from #2 well, and has been
applied in the area of #2 well for years. We have noticed some decrease in the nitrate level since
we stopped land applic_ation-activities_in_this_area

Amendment to Permit No. WQ0003902
Catawba County
WQ0003902/GW94254
(John Seymour: DEM SERG Review Engineer)
The Groundwater Section has reviewed the subject permit amendment request to
apply sludge from the Clark Creek WWTP to an additional 30.2 acres (total of 836.50
acres). During a site investigation (January 13, 1995), regional office personnel noted
residences with potable wells, adjacent (west) to the proposed site. They recommend that
buffers be applied to these residences also. These residences were not depicted on the site
map, submitted with the permit application. We have no objection to issuance of the
permit, provided that the following conditions are included:
1. No land application of waste activities shall be undertaken when the seasonal
high water table is less than three feet below land surface.
2. All buffers shall be adhered to.

The State of North Carolina is currently negotiating with EPA to receive the federal permitting
authority and delegation to issue land application permits for EPA in our State. If this delegation
occurs, this will allow you to avoid having two permits (one from the State and one from EPA) for the
same activity. While this delegation process is being pursued, permittees legally are subject to the
new Federal requirements while, continuing to comply with their existing State issued permit. At this
time, the delegation process is progressing slowly and the formal approval is still in doubt.
Also, enclosed is "A Plain English Guide to the EPA Part 503 Biosolids Rule." This document is
helpful in understanding the new Federal and State monitoring and reporting requirements.
If there is a need for any additional information or clarification on the State reporting requirements,
please do not hesitate to contact either Lou Polletta or Dianne Williams Wilburn of our staff at 919/
733-5083. For further information on the Federal requirements, you should call Vince Miller of the
Environmental Protection Agency in Atlanta at 404/347-3012, ext. 2953.

Dear Ms. McCaskill:
The City of Newton received a letter September 24, 1992 from the Mooresville Regional Office
stating they had reason to believe that the permitted activities had resulted in exceeding the
groundwater standards found in 15A NCA 2L. .
The City responded to the letter with monitoring data that dated back to April, 1991. This data
showed the groundwater level for nitrates exceeded the standards at that time. The property
owner explained that this site has been a dairy farm for over fifty years. Manure storage has
been in this area for a long time and is our feelings that this is directly effecting the nitrate level
in this monitoring well. Since sludge has NOT been applied to this site since March of 1992,
the nitrate levels have changed very little. The nitrate levels are listed below:

Raleigh, North Carolina
The City of Newton, North Carolina operates and publicly owns a wastewater treatment facility
and discharges the treated municipal wastewater to surface water for the state. The residuals
generated at this publicly owned treatment works (POTW) are stabilized with lime to achieve
a pH of 12. This pH of 12 is maintained for at least 12 hours and prior to land treatment the
pH of the stabilized mixture is again measured. pH consistently exceeds 11 after several days
to several weeks of storage. These lime stabilized residuals are stored in two aerobic gravity
thickeners until they are land applied onto permitted agricultural lands.
The largest volume of material is transported to the Sigmon Brothers Dairy Farm and applied
directly to land. The application equipment is a Terra-Gator. The operator has collected
samples of the soil from the Sigmon Brothers Farm annually. Soil pH has increased gradually
since inception of this project. The soil pH on all segments of the Sigmon Brothers Farm which
receive the on
stabilize residuals is in excess of 6.5 standard pH units.
Samples of the shallow ground water collected under one of the permitted wastewater receiver
sites indicates that the nitrate nitrogen levels in the groundwater in one well has been consistently
high since before this project was initiated. The single well (well no. 2) is located at the lowest
elevation in field number 8. Nitrate nitrogen levels in the shallow ground water underlying this
field were checked prior to inception of this program and at that time, nitrate nitrogen levels
were in excess of 10 milligram per liter. This 10 milligram per liter concentration is above the
drinking water standard and the nitrate levels have been in excess of 10 since this project was
initiated. The field does receive animal waste in addition to municipal wastewater treatment
residuals.
There are two factors which must be considered. These are:
1. Well 2 is located in an area used to store manure and
2. Well 2 is located in an area which channelize or funnels the shallow groundwater
from an upgradient position of the site into betts branch.
In order to examine the potential impact of these land treatment operations on soil nitrogen,
samples of the soil material from fields 8, 18, and 10 were collected and analyzed. Samples

{
overe collected from several horizons and analyzed to determine nutrient levels, soil pH,.micro-
Zutrient levels, nitrate levels, and soluble salt levels.
there are two purposes to the brief reports which follows. The first is to describe the conditions
-ncountered on each of the sites evaluated. The second is to make recommendations regarding
the possibilities for continued use of the Sigmon Brothers Farm to serve as the receiver for the
wastewater treatment plant residuals generated by the City of Newton, North Carolina.
Procedure
Records of the land treatment operations conducted on the Sigmon Brothers Farm were collected
for examination. The examination of the records indicate that the total nitrogen load applied
onto field no. 8 has been 427.8 lbs since this program initiated in 1985. The 427.8 lbs over 8
years is approximately 60 lbs of plant available nitrogen per acre per year. In fact, additional
nutrients would be required to obtain an optimum yield. The vegetation on the site consist of
corn and small grain and this load is not excessive for this crop. Anticipated crop yield should
be in excess of 100 bushels of corn per acre per year. Consultation with the farmer and
examination of farm records indicate that yields are in excess of 100 bu/ac/yr during those years
with adequate rainfall.
To investigate the potential source of nitrogen in the shallow ground water, samples of the soil
material on the receiver site and on control sites were collected. Soil material was collected
from 3 separate areas on the Sigmon Brothers Farm. The control area supposedly received no
waste. The remaining test or receiver areas have received waste since 1985. Soil samples were
collected from each site at intervals of 0" to 611, 6" to 1211, 12" to 2411, 24" to 3611
,
36" to 4811, & 48" to a depth between 60" and 72". Samples were placed in plastic bags and
the bags were placed in a cooler for transport to the Biological and Agricultural Engineering
Department Laboratory at North Carolina State University. The soil material was pulverized
and three separate 10 grams subsamples were prepared from each field sample for subsequent
analysis.
Soil samples. were digested and Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen levels (TKN) and nitrate levels were
measured with a Technicon auto analyzer. The results of the analysis are summarized in table
1 attached. Standard soil fertility tests were used to determine the levels of other nutrients,
micro -nutrients and selected trace metals in the soil material. The standard soil fertility test
results are also summarized in table 2.
A 1 liter sample of the runoff from a drainage ditch exiting the site was also collected to
determine the levels of nutrient contained in this shallow groundwater discharged to surface
drainage. The runoff sample was cooled and transported to the Biological and Agricultural
Engineering Department Laboratory at North Carolina State University for analysis. Standard
laboratory procedures were used to determine the levels of nitrogen contained in the drainage
discharge from the Sigmon Brothers Farm and results of this sampling are summarized in the
table attached.
During the field visit, the vegetation growing on both the control site and receiver site was

hunted because of an extended drought. No vegetation samples were collected for analysis
)ecause of the very stunted nature of this vegetation. A vegetation analysis performed on this
stunted vegetation would not represent the true qualities of plants grown during a normal year
ind for this reason, no plant tissue samples were collected for analysis. The nitrogen lost
hrough vegetation harvest would normally be higher than that encountered with these drought
itressed crops. Because of this potentially misleading removal efficiency the nitrogen losses or
uptakes were not determined. The anticipated yield from the Sigmon Brothers Farm appears to
be no more than 20 bushels per acre while as stated previously, during a normal growing year
the yield would be over 100 bushels per acre. These factors do suggest no need to evaluate the
nitrogen content in vegetation during the periods of drought stress, but during periods of normal
growth, plant tissue sampling should be included as a part of this or any land treatment program.
Results
Nutrients, metals, soluble salt levels, and particularly the nitrate nitrogen levels contained in the
soil material are generally higher on the receiver sites than in the control area soils. These
results are summarized in tables 1 and 2 attached.
The nitrate nitrogen level in the control soil is lowest at the 24" to 48" and 48" to 60" depths.
The nitrate nitrogen level .on receiver site 2 and on receiver site 3 are significantly higher than
the control site nitrate nitrogen levels. The Kjeldahl nitrogen level on the receiver sites are
consistently higher than on the control site. The total Kjeldahl nitrogen levels in the shallow
soils will mineralize slowly with time. Eventually, this organic nitrogen will convert to
ammonia and nitrate. These inorganic forms of nitrogen are utilized by plants. If the nitrate
and ammonia mineralized exceeds plant nutrient requirements, then the soluble nitrate will
migrate below the root zone and may enter. ground water. Nitrate nitrogen in shallow ground
water under site 8 is in excess of nitrate standards, however, TKN levels and nitrate levels in
the soil are not excessive although they are higher on sites 2 and 3 than on the control site.
The total nitrogen (TKN+NO3) levels on the receiver sites are consistently higher than those
on the control sites which received manure, but no sludge. The difference in total nitrogen can
be attributed to the combination of animal manure and municipal wastewater residuals applied
to the receiver sites. The nitrate nitrogen levels are significantly and consistently higher on
receiver sites at shallow depths (to 60") than on control sites, similarly total nitrogen levels
(T ,N+NO3) are higher, but the differences are approaching levels encountered on any
agricultural site and nitrogen should not be significantly impacting ground water. With time and
continued harvest of crops, the nitrogen levels will fall. Integrity of wells and well location in
field 8 must be inspected and possibly moved. Well 8 reflects manure impacts in addition to
residuals.
Results of the standard soil fertility testing indicate that levels of calcium and soil pH are high.
Normally, soil calcium levels range between 50% and 70%. The unusually high calcium levels
encountered on a receiver site reflect the application of the lime stable product to these sites.
The high soil pH will not affect crop production, but soil pH should be monitored to insure that
it does not rise to 80 or higher.

-Ic-
)ther nutrient and trace element levels are consistent with well managed agricultural operations.
Che levels of both phosphorus and potassium are in the high normal range for clay rich piedmont
,oils. These levels should not adversely impact agricultural operations. Trace element levels
tre within ranges normally encountered in North Carolina.
Continued application of residuals at slightly reduced levels will benefit both the waste
generator and the Sigmon Brothers Farm. Material should be applied to provide no more than
1 ton of lime per acre per year.

PO Box 29535
Raleigh, NC 27626-0535
7. Noncompliance Notification:
The Permittee shall report by telephone to the Mooresville Regional Office, telephone
number [phone], as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours or on the
next working day following the occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence of any of
the following:
a. Any occurrence with the land application program which results in the land
application of significant amounts of wastes which are abnormal in quantity or
characteristic.
b. Any failure of the land application program resulting in a release of sludge material
to receiving waters.
c. Any time that self -monitoring information indicates that the facility has gone out of
compliance with the conditions and limitations of this permit or the parameters on
which the system was designed.
d. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that render the facility
incapable of adequate sludge treatment.
e. Any spillage or discharge from a vehicle or piping system transporting sludge to the
application site.
Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall -also file a written report in letter
form within 15 days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report must outline
the actions taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem does not recur.
IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
1. The four existing monitor wells shall be sampled every March, July, and November for the
following parameters:
NO3 Ammonia Nitrogen
TDS TOC
H Water Level
Chloride Total Suspended Solids
Volatile Organic Compounds - (in November only by method 1 or 2 below)
1.1

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 to
provide relative elevations of the measuring point for each of the monitoring wells. The
depth of water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on the top of the
casing.
If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/l are detected in any downgradient monitoring
well, additional sampling and analysis must be conducted to identify the "microorganisms,
natural organic and/or synthetic organic compounds" comprising this TOC concentration.
If the TOC concentration as measured in the hagkgmun—d 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.
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.
2. The Compliance Boundary is specified by regulations in 15A 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 on or after December 30, 1983, the Compliance Boundary is
established at the lesser of 250 feet from the waste disposal areas, or 50 feet within the
property boundary.
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 is specified by regulations in • 15A 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 tilhgr (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.
3. No land application of waste activities shall be undertaken when the seasonal high water
table is less than three feet below land surface.
4. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring as deemed necessary by the Division of
Environmental Management shall be provided.
7

tj
The Permittee or his designee shall inspect the sludge storage, transport, and disposal
facilities to prevent malfunctions and deterioration, operator errors and discharges which
may cause or lead to the release of wastes to the environment, a threat to human health, or a
nuisance. The Permittee shall keep an inspection log or summary including at least the date
and time of inspection, observations made, and any maintenance, repairs, or corrective
actions taken by the Permittee. This log of inspections shall be maintained by the Permittee
for a period of three years from the date of the inspection and shall be made available upon
request by the Division of Environmental Management or other permitting authority.
Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the Division of Environmental
Management may, upon presentation of credentials, enter and inspect any property,
premises or place on or related to the disposal site and facility at any reasonable time for the
purpose of determining compliance with this permit; may inspect or copy any records that
must be kept under the terms and conditions of this permit; or may obtain samples of
groundwater, surface water, or leachate.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The City of Newton has requested.a modification to the
subject Permit for the addition of a 30 acre site to the City's
land application program.
The site appears to be well suited for the application of
wastewater residuals. Deep, well drained soils predominate the
site with no evidence of a seasonal high water table. Topography
may preclude use of a portion of the site (slopes >10%), however,
this will involve only a minor portion of the total acreage.
Some concern was noted due to the proximity of adjacent
residences on the western edge of the property. Although current
buffers may be sufficient, the Permittee agreed to provide
additional buffer in this area to minimize the potential for odor
complaints. Pending receipt and approval by the GW Section, it is
recommended that the subject Permit be modified to include this
additional acreage.

and calculations). Any variation of the below must be described in full detail and attached.
a. Aerobic or Anaerobic Digestion - The mass of volatile solids are reduced by at least 38%. Volatile solids reduction is
measured between the residuals, prior to stabilization, and the residuals ready for use or disposal. This criterion should
be readily met by properly designed and operated anaerobic digestors, but not as readily met by aerobic digestors.
Treatment facilities with aerobic digestors may need to meet the vector attraction reduction requirement through 18c or
18d.
b. Anaerobic Digestion - If 38% volatile solids reduction cannot be achieved, vector attraction reduction can be
demonstrated by further digesting a portion of the previously digested residuals in a bench scale unit for an additional
40 days at 300 C to 370 C. If, at the end of the 40 days, the volatile solids are reduced by less than 17%, vector
attraction reduction is achieved.
c. Aerobic Digestion - If 38% volatile solids reduction cannot be achieved, vector attraction reduction can be demonstrated
by further digesting a portion of the previously digested residuals that have a solids content of 2% or less in a bench
scale unit for an additional 30 days at 200 C. If, at the end of the 30 days, the volatile solids are reduced by less than
15%, vector attraction reduction is achieved.

Land Application Site Supplemental Information
City of Newton
Section 1
Process Description
The Clark Creek Wastewater Treatment Facility currently receives approximately
3.4 million gallons per day of wastewater from the City of Newton and
surrounding areas. About half of the flow is from industrial facilities specializing
in textile dyeing and metal finishing. The remainder is of domestic origin.
Treatment at Clark Creek consists of primary hydroxide precipitation followed by
activated sludge treatment using extended aeration, secondary settling, filtration
and disinfection. Hydroxide precipitation is accomplished using lime resulting in
approximately 6,000 pounds per day of biological sludge.
The two sludges are combined in two holding tanks equipped with mechanical
rakes and the sludge is thickened to approximately four percent solids content.
Additional lime in the form of slurry is added to maintain a pH of above 12.
Sludges are held onsite for an average of several days before land application.
Section 2
Material Transport and Application
Material transport and application of sludges from Clark Creek is handled by the
City's contractor, Sigmon Dairy Farm, Inc. All sites used by Sigmon Dairy Farm
are in close proximity of the wastewater treatment plant. The sludges are
pumped from the thickeners to 3,000 and 6,000 gallon leak -proof trucks for
transport to the application sites. Application is accomplished using subsurface
liquid application equipment. Sigmon Dairy Farm owns two such devices along
with several tanker trucks and support equipment.
Sigmon Dairy Farm has been responsible for land application of sludge since the
City began its program in 1986. Through experience and proper education of
their equipment operators, they have been highly successful in applying sludges
in a uniform and beneficial manner. They will continue to use this equipment to
insure uniform application at or below the recommended agronomic rate. In
addition, Sigmon Dairy Farms will be responsible for adequate control of public
access to the sites and preservation of the buffer areas designated on the
attached drawings.

Town of Newton, No>ttbt Carolina
by
A.R. Rubin, Extension Speda st
.A►ssodate Professor
Biological & AUicoitzm!
N.C. State IIffivecsity
Raleiglt, NC
The Town of Newton, North Carolina operates a wastewater treatment facility and the
residuals or biosolids generated during the wastewater treatment process are lime stabilized to
a pH of 12 and thm land applied onto the pad bmsolids receiver sites. The land
aPPh=m operatim has been very saccessfal and the nutrient and lime value of these stabilized
materials is modcmWly high. The op== in responsible chazge of the Newton facility dcsiros
to expand the land application program to include additional sites.
A single site = "..appr�oatimately 40 acres was evaluated to accept, treat, and
renovate these municipal biosolids. The site evaluated is located on the Catawba/Uncoln County
line, a portion of the site actually lies in Lincoln County. The majority of the site does lie in
Catawba County. Only that portion of the site located in Catawba County will be used for the
land application of biosolids.
There are two purposes to the brief report which follows.
(1) To describe the conditions on the proposed receiver site.
(2) To make recommendations concerning appropriate hydraulic and constituent
loadings onto the site. These recommendations are based upon soil best results
and the anticipated yield of the pasture currently growing on the site.
Topography
, The site evaluated occupies a knoll position. However, ridge lines, shoulder slopes, side
slopes, and headslope positions are all represented on property evaluated. The maximum fall
from the uppermost to the lowermost elevation on the site. is apptmdmately 50 feet. The
maximum slope encountered is approximately 10%. Severe gullying and erosional losses were
not notice and did not appear evident on the site.

Some topography our read is necewwy to provide the gradient along which soluble
buwhds contitutm% applied to any site will move. The moderate gradient encountered over
the site is well suited for a Iand treatment system. 'The slope will not restrict either surface
application or subsurface injection of the municipal biosolids produced by the Town of Newton.
The slope encountered over the site is conducive to the operations of this land application system
and this should not preclude use of significant portions of the site to treat and renovate these
biosolids.

In general, the hand anger borings indices that the soil material rasa muted on the site
does consist of a loamy topsoil approximately 6 - 8 inches in depth overlying a heavy textured
red clay to clay loam subsoil. This clayey subsoil extends to a depth of over 420. Some
saprolitic material was encountered at depths of 42 to 48 inches. Beyond 48" the loaffiy
sapr?htr- was the predommant material while the Clayey subsoil became less predominant
gs were terminated at approximately 54" to 60" with no evidence of seasonal high water
tab or seasonal wetness.
In addition to the hand auger borings a series of 1-inch diameter soil core samples were
collected to deterntme background soil fertility levels_ These soil core samples were collected
from the 0" to 6" depth at areas within app*+U 150 feet of each of the borings. The sad
material from each of three areas was then composited into a single sample representing
appraximat�ly 4 to 6 ac = . The results of the soil fertility sampling and associated
recommendations are summarized and presented in tables 1 and 2 attached. In general the soil
material encountered on the site is deficient in phosphorus and -potassium, of low pH, and
contains vjffld=t micro -nutrients that the addition of municipal biosolids will not adversely
effect metal levels in these soils.

The soil materlal encountered on the site is very well suited for the land treatmmt system
proposed. The light textured, loamy topsoil will allow movement of constituents from the
m=w#al biosolids into the soil. ranee in the sod, these nundent and other constituents of
municipal biosolids will be utilized by plant material growing on the site. These municipal
biosolids will facilitate plant growth. The heavier textured, clayey subsoil will help to retard
the mats of constituents below the root scans of these plants_ This combination of light
t=m'E 1, loamy topsoil overlying a heavier textured clayey subsoil presents an ideal combination
of soil Physic pies for any Malment and renovation system. The topsoil is adegmaety
deep to promote well developed root systems. While the heavies =Cured clayey subsoil is
sufficiently deep to provide nu>Ytemus exchange sites for heavy metals or constituents gained
in the biOsodids to adsorb thus preventing their migration to deep groundwater.
The soil resources metered on the site should not limit or preclude use of significant
Pont= of the site to treat and renovate the municipal bimsaiids produced by the Town of
Newton- Hgdrmhe loadings for the liquid biosolids should be maintained at a rate not to ennead
6,000 gallons Per application event. Application of a larger volume of waste may result in some
runoff and rtmoff is not permi#td. The loadings should be restricted to those times when the
land is traffmable. Excessively wet soils will not support a loaded application veldcle and nutting
may result. These physical soil limitations are the primary Inns to use of the site. In
general, the site can not be used whey land is not traf icablc, and that applies to any ingress or
egt+ess fivm the fields; be that for biosolids application for tillage. The soil resources are very
wdl suited to the land application system proposed and these soils can be utilizes very
effectively for meat na t and renovation of mmraciml biosolids. The edsting pasture crop on
the site is also well suited as a receiver crop and that is assumed as the receiver crop for this
site.
Reconnnendathm
The municipal biosolids produced by the Town of Newton, North Carolina are cunently
applied to agricultural land. The biosolids are stabilized utilizing lime prior to land application.
The lime value is high. Lime is a limiting constituent in these residuals and the lime value of
these products must be evaluated m this land application opr.rW=. In addition, the nutrient
content of these materials must also be evaluated. Samples of the residual bio-solids from the
Newton facility were collet and analyzed to deteam= nutrient levels, metal content, and lime
value. The loading rate presented is based upon a fescue pasture crop and an anticipated yield
of 4 tots per acre per year. The loading is presented on a per a,ane bases. The actual areas
available for land treatment can then be evaluated more thoroughly by the consultant and the
total volume which can be applied is merely the product of the loading per acre a load and the
land area available as discussed below.
The biosolids sample data is summaazed in Table 3, attached. The sample analyzed had
a solid content of 5. 8 % and a lime valve of 3.89 % calcium carbonate equivalency. This is
Nmval= to 2Pproxi=tely 324 1 lime (as CaC% equivalency) per 1000 gaL Normally,
pastnms require approrimawly 1 tan of lime per acre per year or less. This will allow
application of:

l • �
20001 RmeJacloyyr
3241 lime/1000 gal = 6000 gayac
At this rate, the nitmgen applied is calculated as:
6000 gal/ac/yr x 37.5 lb -PAN/ 1000 gal = 225.75 lb-N/a/y
This approximates the nitrogen requirements Permitted with a 4 ton/yr harvest.
Consequently, the biosolids load of apPmximatedY 6000 gal/ac/yr is aPpropdate for this Enmity.
At this rate, nitrogen and lime are the land limiting constituent Additional sampling will
indimfE a more agate loading and hishoriml daft should be consulted to determine actcral
loadings which nave been applied to the othw farms in this program.
The lead level in the sample is the limiting metal 11ue sample analyzed mntained a lead
concenbcatioa of 144.7 mg/kg (dry wt). Allmetals are below the clean sludge level, established
by the USEPA. This suggests that this "clean' sludge could be considered a ckm "A" Ynataisi
that could be utilized without ragm=m if the pathogen red== a iremeaLs listed in the EPA
503 xegvWim were sadsfue&
These materials must be applied when site; conditions permit EW=ssively wet soils must
be avoided during application events. If a loaded application vehicle creates ruts over 3linches
in depth, then application events should be halted.
Crops should be removed from the site as hay. Cup yield could be as high as
4 tons/ac/yr or more. The purpose of a land treatment system is to utilize nutrients and the crop
must be harvested and removed to promote this uWizadm.
Conclusion
The single site examined as a potential receiver site for these lime stabilized municipal
hiosolids bas excellent potential to treat and renovate this material- TIm application of
apMximately 6000 gallons of stabilized material per acre per year appears to be the appropriate
loading rate. This mat=ial should be applied only whm situ and toil conditions permit access
to fields.
