PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The City of Mount Holly requests approval to modify the
subject Permit to include the yearly disposal of approximately
0.100 MG of alum sludge generated at the City's water treatment
plant. At the present time, approximately 0.650 MG. of sludge is
stored in existing storage basins. awaiting disposal pending
approval of this request.
The sludge will be transported by tanker truck and added to
the inflow of the wastewater treatment plant in small increments
so as not to overload the wastewater treatment plant. Disposal.
will be on existing permitted sites at agronomic rates based on
current cropping patterns.
Analytical characteristics of the sludge do not reflect
constituent levels which would preclude approval of 'this.
modification request.
Also please note that.in a request received April 24, 1990
(WQ 0003444), the City requested renewal.of Permit No. 7071 which
expired on January 1, 1985. This Permit covered the construction
and operation of alum sludge settling/storage facilities and
included the hauling of alum sludge to the City's wastewater
treatment plant. In a telephone conversation between Mr. Parker
and Mr. Ed Nichols, Utilities Director, City of Mount Holly, it
was decided to place the renewal of this Permit on hold until a
modification request could be submitted to include the storage
facilities, hauling and ultimate disposal of the alum sludge in
the City's existing sludge disposal program.
It is, therefore, our recommendation that the
settling/storage facilities and ultimate disposal of the City's
alum sludge be included in Permit WQ 0001863 and that Permit No.
7071 (WQ 0003444) be considered null and void. This will
ultimately simplify tracking.of the City's sludge disposal
program.
It should also be noted that the Permit should be issued to
the City of Mount Holly and.not Westinghouse Environmental
Services.

Pending a final technical review by the SERG and Groundwater
Section, it is recommended that the modification request be

SECTION 1
MANAGEMENT PLAN
The sludge management program proposes that sludge from the Mount Holly
Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) and Water Treatment Plant (WTP) be applied to
the proposed sites as an agricultural resource at agronomic rates. The sludge
will be applied to crop or hay pasture land at agronomic rates for total or
partial replacement of conventional N and P fertilizers. The actual amount of
sludge applied will be dependent upon the nutrient requirement of the specific
crop and the nutrient content of the sludge.
Sludge application scheduling will be dependent upon the sludge production
and storage at the,WWTP and the crop management program. Since the John Springs
Farm is utilized for hay and pasture production, sludge will be applied in a
split application as is normally done when conventional fertilizers are utilized
for hay fields. These applications will correspond prior to grass growth in the
spring, after each cutting in the growing season, or whenever most appropriate.
The fields will receive sludge on an infrequent basis in an agronomic
manner. Sludge will be applied at full agronomic rate for the yearly crop
rotation once every three years. In this manner, ground water monitoring will
not b� required. Soil pH will be adjusted immediately prior to or during sludge
application to 6.5 or above.
Prior to the application, an application rate will be determined based on
past nutrient analysis. Representative sludge samples will be collected from the
aerobic digester daily during the haul period and composited for analysis. This
composite sample will then be delivered to a qualified laboratory familiar with
sludge analysis, and analyzed for TKN, NH4-N, NO3-N, P, K, TS, chlorides, pb, Cu,
Cd, Na, Mg, Soo, Zn, Ni, Cr, and Ca. This information will then be utilized to
1

calculate the loading rate for the field and crop.
Once the appropriate application rate has been calculated, the sludge will
be removed from the wastewater treatment plant and transported to the site in
trucks or tankers adapted for dewatered or liquid sludge. For liquid sludge, the
sludge will be loaded into 6,500 to 8,500 gallon tankers converted to haul liquid
sludge. Prior to leaving the plant site, the tankers will be washed to remove
any sludge which may have spilled onto the tankers during the loading process.
The tankers will then travel major traffic routes to the fields when ever
possible. Once at the field, the.tanker will proceed to a designated staging
area. The sludge will then be transferred to a liquid sludge applicator designed
and operated to obtain an even application consistent with agricultural
requirements. Several manufacturers market sludge applicators which have been
extensively utilized in agronomic land treatment programs. Westinghouse
contracts the sludge removal, hauling, and land application to Advanced Waste
Management Systems which utilizes an Ag Chem terragator 2505 to land apply the
sludge.
For dewatered or drying bed sludge, the sludge will be loaded directly into
dump trucks with the aid of a front end loader. Each dump truck will be adapted
to limit the accidental spillage or seepage of sludge while enroute to the
treatment site. Once at the site, the truck will proceed to a designated staging
area and then will unload the sludge. The sludge will then be loaded into a
sludge applicator suitable to apply a consistent even application of sludge as
required for agricultural management. Several manufacturers market sludge
applicators, one such applicator which has been extensively utilized in the
southeast is the New Holland Model 308.
All sludge will be removed from the staging area by the end of the working
2

day, unless equipment breakdown or weather prohibits the sludge application. At
the start of each day, all fields will be inspected by the field superintendent.
Equipment will only enter a field when conditions are appropriate for the
application of sludge. Sludge will only be applied when the field is capable of
supporting equipment without extensive rutting. When field conditions are not
appropriate for sludge application, such as during wet periods, the sludge will
remain at the WWTP until field conditions are suitable for land -application.
Prior to the sludge operations, the field superintendent and Mount Holly
WWTP personnel will inspect the site. During the field inspection, the operator
will note the standard DEM buffer zones including: homes, drainage ditches,
roads, wells, surface water, and property boundaries (listed in Table 1 below).
On the basis of these standard DEM buffers for land treatment programs, buffers
will be established in the field. These buffers will be identified in the field
by the placement of pin flags.

Spill Control Plan
Mt. Holly, North Carolina
In the unlikely event of a spill, the following action shall
be taken immediately:
1. Halt the source of the spill: ruptured line or valve, of
damaged tank unit.
2. Contain spill: Use straw bales to form a barrier. Straw
hay bales can be obtained from several sources for this
purpose. Soil near the site can also be used to form a
barrier for containment.
3. Clean up: Use sludge application equipment to remove as
much of the material as possible, after the application
equipment has recovered as much of the material as it
can, it will be land applied as per operating plan. A
temporary sump pit can be dug into the containment area
and spill material washed into it to enhance recovery.
4. Final clean up: any unrecoverable material will be washed
from the road surface and incorporated into an adjacent
tillable area.
5. Notification: As soon as possible after a spill occurs
notify:
A. Plant operator 827-4261
B. Department of Environment Health and Natural
Resources Mooresville office 919-633-1699.
C. County Sheriff Department.
D. Fire Department if assistance is required for
washdown.
E. Westinghouse office.
6. Management of clean up efforts, the field manager shall
take immediate charge of the clean up activities.
Additional labor will be requested from the treatment
plant as needed. Field manager shall also communicate
with the public on the scene advising of clean up
activity.
7. Reporting: Within 24 hours of a spill the_ field manager
shall present a written report detailing the cause of the
spill and all action taken in response to the spill.

8. Spill prevention:
A. Insure personnel watch trailer while loading.
B. Insure that tank hatches and valves are closed and
locked while transporting.
C. Inspect tank hatches and valves before beginning
hauling and replace as needed.
D. Insure that dust top is in place while transporting.
E. Insure that field operations are conducted to
minimize hose drainage.
F. Insure that all transportation and application
equipment are in good working order.

SECTION 2
APPLICATION RATES
The sludge application rate will be based on the plant available nitrogen
(PAN) requirement for the crop and the PAN content in the sludge. The PAN
requirement for the specific crop will be derived from North Carolina Department
of Agriculture -Agronomic Division fertilizer recommendations for agronomic crops
typically grown in North Carolina (Table 2). Crops typically grown in the Gaston
County area are hay, fescue, small grains, and soybeans.

The PAN recommendations for fescue hay is 200 pounds per acre. The PAN
recommendation for soybeans is not provided by the Agronomic Division because
soybeans are able to fix NZ as NH3 in a symbiotic relationship with a nitrogen
fixing bacteria. However, soybeans will utilize N if the N is applied in a plant

available N form. Based on conversations with North Carolina State University
agronomic faculty and experience with other land treatment programs, the proposed
PAN application rate for soybeans in this program is 200 and 180 pounds per acre
for early and late soybeans, respectively.
The PAN content of the sludge will be based on the ammonium -nitrogen,
(NH4-N) and nitrate -nitrogen (NO3-N) content and the mineralization of organic
N into inorganic N. Most of the N in the sludge is in an organic N form. As the
sludge is incorporated into the soil, the soil microorganisms utilize the sludge
as an energy and nutrient source. In the process, a portion of the organic N is
mineralized or biologically converted into inorganic N.
Various environmental factors such as temperature, moisture, and carbon to
nitrogen ratio will affect the mineralization rate. Typical mineralization
factors range from 0.2 to 0.4. A mineralization rate of 0.25 has been selected
for this land treatment program which is typical for sludge utilization in North
Carolina.
The PAN sludge content will be calculated based on the mineralization rate:
TKN, NH4-N, and NO3-N content; and method of application. Sludges which are
injected into the soil typically retain a large portion of the NH3 gas which is
found in the sludge or is converted from the NH4-N form. However, when the
sludge is surface applied to hay or fallow row crop fields, a large portion of
the NH3-N is volatilized and lost_ as a nutrient for crop uptake. The actual
plant available nitrogen content for equal sludges is less when the sludge is
surface applied compared to when the sludge is injected into the soil and the
NH3-N gas is trapped by the soil. To reflect the lower PAN content for surface
applied sludges due to the volatilization of NH3-N gas, the portion of NH4-N in
the sludge contributing to the PAN is reduced by 50%.
5

The PAN content of the sludge is then calculated for injected and surface
applications as follows:
A. PAN injected = 0.25 (TKN-NH4-N) + NH4-N + NO3-N
B. PAN surface applied = 0.25 (TKN-NH4-N) + 0.5 (NH4-N) + NO3-N
where:
0.25 = mineralization factor
TKN — Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen
NH4-N = Ammonia nitrogen
NO3-N = Nitrate nitrogen
0.5 = Volatilization factor
PAN Applied = (gal/ac)(8.34 lb/gal)(% Solids)
PAN can be expressed in this way, using the attached sludge analysis (A&L report
no. R279-138) and assuming that 10,000 gallons/ac were surface applied, the PAN
would be:
0.25 (5.21-0.17) + 0.17(0.5) + 0.0130
PAN = 1.358
0.01359 (10,000)(8.34)(0.0365)
APPLIED = 41.33 lbs PAN/ac
Based on this application rate and sludge analysis, metals loading rates are
presented in Table 3.

SECTION 3
METALS LOADING
Since both the John Springs and Yates Springs Farm sites are to be used for
agronomic, hay and pasture land, the sludge application and metals loading will
be monitored to verify that current DEM metals loadings are not exceeded.
Maximum metal loadings for Pb, Zn, Cu, Ni, and Cd are presented in Table 3 for
soils with less than 5 meq/100 g cation exchange capacity (CEC) observed at the
sites. The limits for.Pb, Zn, Cu, Ni, and Cd are 500, 250, 125, 125 and 4.4
lbs/ac, respectively. Only Cd has an annual application limit of 0.5 lbs/ac.

The metals loading from the desired application will be compared to the
allowable maximum cumulative and Cd yearly metal loading. If the metal loading
is in excess of the limit, then the application rate will be reduced accordingly.
Field Loading rate records tracking the cumulative metals loading and the
available metals loading for future sludge applications will be maintained
7

(example attached). In some land treatment operations, the metal loadings can
continue for hundreds of years before exceeding the cumulative loading limits.
Based on the data presented in Table 3, the limiting constituent is copper, with
a total of 47 applications, based on the same assumptions made in section 2
calculations.

SECTION 4
SLUDGE CHARACTERISTICS
The City of Mount Holly Waste Treatment Facility currently generate about
1,400,000 gallons per year of sludge and has approximately 450,000 gallons of
sludge storage capacity at the Treatment Plant. Characteristics of the sludge
are shown on all report number R307-62A and results of the TCLP for both the WWTP
and the WTP(Alum) analysis are given in Appendix A. The sludge characteristics
are typical of other sludges generated by WWTP's in North Carolina. Likewise,
the TCLP results are well below the maximum limits for a waste to ,.be
characterized as non -hazardous.
The ALUM sludge material to be mixed with the WWTP sludge is
approximately 650,000 gallons of 4.9% TS material, this would be added in two to
three additions as to not overload the WWTP. Future sludge production will be
added as it is generated and should be approximately 100,000 gallons at 4.9% TS
annually. All material will be added to the inflow of the WWTP and be treated
as all inflow to the plant is treated.

The sludge and soil will be sampled at specific intervals to insure the
beneficial utilization for agricultural production. Sludge samples will be
obtained prior to the initiation of each land treatment program phase. The
sludge samples will be collected and delivered to a laboratory qualified to
analyze sludge and familiar with routine environmental sample preparation and
standards.
A quarterly sludge analysis will be conducted for but not limited to the
following parameters, % total solids, chlorides, P, Pb, Cu, Cd, Na, TKN, No3-No2-
N, Mg, S, K, Zn, Cr, Ca, NH3, and pH. Annual TCLP analysis for regulatory
compliance will also be preformed.
Once each year, the fields will be sampled for routine soil fertility and
lime requirement. Although the soil samples will likely be collected in the fall
or winter seasons, the soil samples may also be collected between croppings.
Once the soil samples are collected, the soil samples will be delivered to either
North Carolina State Department of Agriculture Agronomic Division or A & L
Eastern Agricultural Laboratory for routine soil analysis.
Since with this ALUM sludge we will be adding Al to the soil present soil
Al levels are important. Soil samples were taken and analyzed for Extractable
Al. All samples showed <1 ppm extractable AL. Copies of these soil tests are
located in the site specific sections of this document.
10

SECTION 6
RECORDS
Records pertinent to the successful management of the sludge land
treatment program will be maintained for the benefit of the landowner, DEM, the
City of Mount Holly, and the contractor. Each year a land treatment activities
and conditions summary report will be prepared and delivered to the appropriate
agencies and participants by the first of February. Generally the records will
pertain to application rates, fields, and dates. A detailed description is
presented in the following section:
1. Dates of application.
2. Sludge loading rates in gallons per acre.
3. Average sludge solids, TKN, NH4-N, NO3-N, P, K, Ca, Na, Mg, Soo, Cu,
Zn, Pb, Cd, Ni, expressed as percent or mg/kg.
4. Sludge PAN, P, K, Cu, Zn, Pb, Cd, and Ni loading rates in pounds per
acre for the fields which have received sludge during the year.
5. Soil pH, buffer pH, Bray extractable P and K; NO3-N, and lime
requirement.
6. Source of sludge applied to fields.
7. Site metals available loading.

SECTION 7
JOHN SPRINGS FARM
The John Springs Farm is located in south-central North Carolina in Gaston
County. The farm site lies west of Mount Holly just beyond the city limits. The
site is located along West Catawba Avenue near the intersection of Catawba and
Rankin Avenues.
The 110.6 acre (95.3 usable acres) John Springs farm is situated in an
agricultural area with scattered residences, churches, and county schools. The
Gaston County aerial map displays several homes on the southwestern edge of the
site along West Catawba Avenue and in a development along the northwestern edge
of the property. No other homes were observed within 400 feet of the boundary
of the site. Located directly to the east side of the property, a house, which
is not longer inhabitable was serviced by an observed well. It is assumed that
the well in this particular field has not been properly abandoned.
The John Springs Farm is surrounded by forests on the northeastern side,
sparse wooded acreage on the west side, pasture land to the south, and the Junior
High School to the east. This site does not contain large continuous fields,
however the buffer zones can be easily delineated.
Only two streams were observed on the site. Refer to the USGS Mount Holly
Quad Sheet or their locations. These streams are merely intermittent pathways
for drainage into the Nims Creek. There were no lakes or ponds observed in
either the upland or bottom land portion of the farm.

SECTION 8
YATES SPRINGS FARM
Yates Spring's Farm is located north of Mount Holly, North Carolina directly
off S.R. 1918 also called Sandy Ford Road. To access the farm from Mount Holly,
follow Highway 273 north to S.R. 1918 West. The farm is situated between the
drainage patterns of the Dutchman's Creek and Stanley Creek.
Figure 6, depicts an aerial photo of the Yates Springs Farm in Gaston
County. The farm comprises of 105.5 total acres. The usable fields are
scattered on either side of S.R. 1918 in a rural agricultural area. There is
only one farm home located directly on the Yates Springs Farm. At the time of
the field review, one other residence occupied a wooded lot due north of Field
#2 and will require a 400 foot buffering distance. With the exception of this
adjacent residence, the entire boundary of the Yates Springs Farm is surrounded
by mixtures of dense hardwoods and pine forests. There were no wells or public
water supplies observed in any of the Yates Springs fields.
The fields owned by Yates Springs are inclusive of the property line around
the periphery of the farm. This will allow the land application activities to
utilize the entire acreage of the fields without the required property line
buffer zone. Fields numbered 3,8,13, and 14 have streams adjacent to the field
and in some area exhibit low elevation drainageways that flow into the adjacent
creeks. Observed on field #4 was a pond used by the grazing livestock. These
items observed in and about the fields will require the appropriate buffer
distances.

SECTION 9
9.1 GENERAL
The soils on both the John Springs and Yates Springs Farms were reviewed by
a soil scientist and then compared to the soil mapping information courtesy of
the Gaston County Soil Conservation Service (1989). The soils were examined by
extending a hand auger through the soil profile. Soil samples were examined at
each major soil horizon and the textural class, Munsell colors, structure, depth,
and horizonation were observed related to standard soil characteristics.
9.2 JOHN SPRINGS FARM
The soil survey mapping sheet for the John Springs Farm is presented in
Figure 4. According to the mapping sheet, the John Springs Farm contains the
Chewacla loam, the Gaston sandy clay loam, and the Wilkes loam soils. The soil
drainage classes for these soils range from somewhat poorly drained to well
drained. The majority of the Farm site consists of the Gaston soil series with
small areas of the other two soils.
Since the Gaston soil is the dominant soil at the site, this soil will be
described in the greatest detail. The typical Gaston soil series is well drained
and does not contain a soil horizon which is saturated with water during a major
portion of the year. Ground water, for the Gaston series, .is usually observed
at a soil depth greater than six feet. The Ap-Bt-BC-C horizonation of the
typical Gaston soil series (Table 4) reflects a very deep, residual soil profile
that is found on ridges and sideslopes in upland landscape positions. The
profile possesses a sandy clay loam surface texture that grades into a clay
22

subsoil and back to a loam texture in the unconsolidated parent material. Soil
water will easily infiltrate the Ap and readily move through the surface horizon.
Once the wetting from enters the Bt horizons, the rate of soil water movement
will be somewhat reduced. For this soil series, low chroma (s2) colors are
simply not described, thus reinforcing the well drained and moderately permeable
nature of the soil.
The Gaston soil is typically farmed in Gaston County, however, the soil
usually requires additive lime and nutrients to maintain the best suitable soil
conditions for obtaining estimated yields. Due to the low surface soil fertility
of the Gaston soil, many area fields are usually utilized for fescue/hay
production and pasture land. The hay crops are commonly recycled as feed for
grazing livestock.
The other soils reported on the site are commonly observed in Gaston County
but are less extensively farmed. Another soil observed was a variation to the
typical. Gaston soil series described above. The gaston variation occurs on
steeper slopes of 8 to 15 percent with a higher proportion of eroded coarse rock
fragments in the surface horizons. This soil is slightly shallower, typically
50 to 60 inches as compared to 72 inches.
The remaining soils on the John Springs Farm are the Wilkes sandy loan and
the Chewacla loam soil series. The Wilkes series is very similar to the
steepened Gaston soil series. It is well drained with moderately slow
permeability. The Wilkes soil series (15 to 30%), like the steeper Gaston (8 to
15% slope), is a moderately shallow soil containing high concentrations of coarse
rock fragments in the A and B horizons. Due to the degree of slope, this soil
is primarily under wooded vegetation and thus used for forest production.
The Chewacla loam is a very deep, bottom -land soil with a somewhat poorly
23

drained nature. This soil, influenced by its landscape position, is subject to
occasional flooding for brief periods during November through April. The silty
clay loam soil texture in the Bg horizon (Table 5) lends to the profiles moderate
permeability and the high available water capacity. From November through April,
the seasonal high water table is typically found at the 1.5 foot soil depth,
while during May to October the water table depth drops to generally greater than
four feet.
9.3 YATES SPRINGS FARM
Figure 7, illustrate the soils found and mapped on the Yates Springs Farm.
According to the Soil Conservation Service in Gaston County, nearly 2/3 of the
acreage in the Yates Springs Farm contains the Gaston sandy loam, 2 to 8% slope,
eroded soil (Table 4). Other soils observed to a lesser degree are the Chewacla
(Table 5) and Congaree loams, and a steeper variation of the Gaston sandy clay
loam.
These soils sampled and described in the field, significantly resembled the
soils found on the John Springs Farm. All of the soils identified on the John
Springs Farm were also observed on the Yates Spring's Farm.. Like the Chewacla
soil series, the Congaree soil is a very deep, bottom -land soil that is
occasionally flooded. However, the Congaree loam consists of a well to
moderately well drained soil with moderate permeability. The soil has a tendency
to flood for brief periods during the winter and spring, thus limiting its land
utilization potential to the months of May through October. The typical Congaree
soil series is illustrated in Table 3.
24

9.4 SOIL REVIEW
Except for slight differences in elevation and boundaries, the soils mapped
and reported by the Gaston County SCS were generally observed on the John Springs
and Yates Springs Farm during the soil field review. All of the soils, wit the
exception of the limited seasonal changes in the Chewacla and Congaree series and
the steeper portions of the Wilkes series, are well suited for sludge application
and utilization. The sludge will readily infiltrate into the Ap soil horizons
and the well aerated surface horizons will provide a well suited, excellent soil
environment for the sludge assimilation and degradation by the soil and cover
crop. Due to the potential for occasional flooding and the seasonal high water
table, the bottom land soils. the Chewacla and Congaree series, should be limited
to a land application period of May through October.
