Subject: A provisional renewal of Land Application Permit
WQ0004381
Dear Ms. Thournburg:
The City of Conover requests a provisional renewal of our
land application permit WQ0004381. The purpose of this permit
is to backup our composting program which, is our present means
for handling residuals. The City of Conover has been a member
of a regional composting facility (WQ0004563) since the early
1990s. We have not land applied residuals in 1994. The last
time we land applied residuals we used aerobic digestion as a
means for pathogen and vector attraction reduction. We still
have that capacity but we are not presently digesting our
residuals., We feel if we began land application again we would
use aerobic digestion or lime stabilization as a treatment
method. I see no representative way at this time to analyze our
sludge for the purpose of evaluating loadings. It is possible
that additional treatment may change analytical values. I feel-
45 days of digestion could alter nutrient concentrations. At a
time in the future if we would ever need to use land application
as an residual handling option, the City of Conover would agree
to do any monitoring necessary to verify loading levels and
compliance with the issuance of a final permit prior to applying
residuals. The City of Conover feels a provisional land
application permit could expedite our ability to land apply
residuals in an emergency, when or if, composting is no longer
an option.
The State of North Carolina has purchased one of our two
wastewater treatment facilities (SE WWTP NCO024279) in order to
build a road through the site. This flow will go to the City, of
Newton within six months.

Enclosed is information for a provisional permit renewal
for our lard application ra t,. If you have any question,
comments, or reed any further information ou may contact me at

Dear Mr. Fox:
Subject: Site Investigation
'hank y°raar for providing cott Frederick, CPSwithreenvest, Inc., and 1. the opportunity to
continue working with you can the biosolids management program Serving the City of
Conover, Clearly biosolids management is a critical issue for communities. Althtatr h the
primary biosolids management option for the City remains the regional compost facility, the
need to maintain the permitted sites is important as asback-tip option.
In support ofthe permit renewal, an investigation ofthe permitt-ed sites at Sipes Dairy was
accomplished. During this investigation, a walking reconnaissance of the site was performed
and samples of the sail material from the Sipes Dairy site were collected for analysis. The
soil materials have l-reen tested and those results are included with the report which follows.
i"hc site continues to appear well suited to receive l iosolid materials. The soil testing
i.,'ciicaates that sail pH is slightly below the optimum for land application, but the low pfl can
e:.asily be corrected prior to any biosolids application operation.
We are, pleased to provide the report attached. We do hope this is adequate for the heeds of
the regulatory agency and the City of Conover, if additional information is required, we will
be happy to provide it. The transmittal letter from lair. Frederick is under separate letterhead.
Sincerely

Biological ,ical and Agricultural FIngineer{ing Clreenvest, 1 1-C
1-listorically the City of Conover has had several fields permitted to receive the digested
biosolid materials generated within the treatment fi�ac:ilities serving tlae Town, The fields have.
not received biosolidmaterials for several years because of the interloca;l agreement to
develop and support the regional 'l iosolids compost facility in Hickory. Nonetheless the City='
of Conover desires to maintain the permit as an active ~alternative should they. ever rCgUire at
lazed application activity to manage the biosolid materials. Should the fields s be acquired, the
City is Fully cognizant that there will be retlrrireraaents to stabilize the materials and assure
adequate vector attraction ra:daacti011 is achieved prior to any land application.
The purpose of the brief report which folloA.s is to describe the,. conditions c.rrCOUntercd on the
Sipes Orchard Site and to describe the results of the soil sampling accomplished in support of
the permit renewal proposed. This is as back-up alternative., the priniai-y option for the City of
Conover will 'remain the Regional Biosolids C',ornpo t Facility operated by the rrararaicipatl
consortium and located in Hickory.
Location
The situ examined are located north ofC.`onov er on City la:rrat Road. The sites are cc rrcutlN,,
permitted to serve as a receiver for biosolid materials and the oral:; applications in the last teas
years have been those t'rorn the City of t.ealcair accomplished through an emergency
agreement execrated betvve rr die respective municipalities lities and the: state.. The sites at Sipes
Orchard occupy landscape positions typical eat those encountered throughout the Piedmont
Region trt`North t."arolina. The sites examined are located on SR 1484 Sipes Orchard lid or
County Home;l d. 'Fhe sites occupy locations located to the east and west ofthe road. One o
the two .sites has been designaated.'f'or pernut parrpose,s as NE while the other has been
designated SW. These sites are in pasture and they are well suites for the land application
operation proposed. The land use has not changed since the initial permit was issued in 19921.
Access to the sites is oJTSR 1484 and the ingress and egress are suitable. The well
established pasture sites are well suited to receive this materiaal.
Site and Soil Condition
The sail resources recapped on the: Sipes Orchard property are typical of those encountered
throughout the.. Piedmont he Modern Soil Starved ofC'ataa vba County indicates that the
predon-unant soils aaaapped on the site include Cecil and Paacolet can the art)iaand landscape

positions and Altavista in the terrace positions. These soils are ver\, NveH suited for crop
production and serve well as biosolids receiver sites,.
The slopes on the receiver sites have not changed since the initial land application permit was
issued in 1992. The areas identified as buffers and areas with the steep slopes remain a
concern with this or any land application pro rani, These areas are evident on the site rnaps
and clear to anyone on the site, nonetheless the (,-)RC a1US1 label these areas with flagging to
assure no materials are applied within designated buffers should the ]and application
proposed become necessary. The areas with slopes in excess of 12% should not be included
in the areas intended to receive biosolid inaterials. Prior to any land application operations,
the areas with steep slopes and the areas in the flood -plain should be identified as a part of
the site buffer and no material applied therein.
Soil Testing and Recomniendations
Soil samples were collected from both the NW and the SLI' site. The soil materials were
subjected to a battery of standard soil fertility tests as accomplished by the North Carolina
Department of Agriculture,, Agrononaic Services laboratory, The results ofthese soil tests are
summarized in Table 1, Soil Test Results. City of Conover Sipes Orchard Site, attached and
the recommendations gleaned from these tests are suminarized in Table 2.'Nutrient and Lime
R,eco in me ndat ions, City ofConover Sipes Orchard Sites. attached.
In general the soil testing indicates that the soil fertility levels are adequate for growth ofthe
fescue pastures present on the site. The soil pH is low and should be adjjusted upwards to
optimize plant growth regardless of the use of the site as as receiver for biosolid materials, Ths,
soil pl-I ranges between 5.2 and 5.5 on the NE site and between 5.1 and 5.4 on the SW site.
The recommended soil pIJ for the f`cSCUC grass on these sails ,,NJ-icn blosolids are applied is as
minimum of 6.0, Clearly, lime will be required to ad.just the spoil pH upwards ifbio,,.,,olid
materials are to be applied at some time in the future. The recommended finie addition is
provided in Table 2. The soil pH adjiusti-nent will require a lime application of approxii-iii-ttely
1 5 tons per acre, A very high quality lime stable blosolid material is available from the City
of Lenoir and the site manager should consider application ofthe Lenoir Lirne as a soil
conditioner.
The Phosphorus and Potassium levels are also low, Supplemental Phosphorus and Potassium
must be supplied to optimize crop growth. Other minerals such as Calcium, Magnesium,
Copper and Zinc are present at levels sufficient for crop growth. The recommendations for
Potassium and Phosphorus are presented in'Table -1. These rnineral supplements should be
supplied to optimize the fertility of the fields soon.
Pasture grazing and hay harvest are adequate as crop management measures on the Sipes
Orchard site, The livestock berietit from the grazing and cause no apparent daniage to site
soils, pasture grasses are well established and could benefit from the addition of lime' and
phosphorus as indicated inTable 2, Nutrient and Lime Recommendations. These nutrients

are not required for agricultural operations, but must be supplied if biosolid materials are
applied to any portion of the site.
Conclusions
The sites intended to serve as potential receiver sites for biosolid materials are well suited for
this land use activity. Prior to any application of biosolid materials, supplemental lime will be
required. This adJustment to improve soil fertility is essential to assure no adverse impacts
from the application ofbiosolids.
In addition to the soil fertility adjustments, the biosolid materials applied to these sites must
be stabilized and treated to achieve the required level of vector attraction reduction and
pathogen reduction prior to any application. This can be achieved by digesting the material or
it can be achieved through lime stabilization and injection. Regardless of the method
selected, documentation must be provided to regulatory agencies that both the VAR and
PSRP treatment has been achieved prior to any land application. Please note the
recommendations described by Mr. Frederick concerning slopes and the need to clearly
identify areas of concern prior to any biosolid application.

Re, Site Inv estiggation Report for the Town of Conover
Dear Dr, Rubin,
I have revievved the Site Investigation Report prepared for the Town of Conover to renew
the biosolids application permit for the Sipes Dairy site, The subject site is still a viable
land application site and should continue to provide an alternativefior biosolids disposal
for theTown.
It should be noted that steep slopes and buff,er areas need to be delineated and made
visible to the CHI C to eliminate the possibility of encroachment or accidental biosolids
application,
In addition, the ORC should follow flie recommendations in the report, to achieve suitable
site fertility and pH for optitnuin vegetation growth.
Please let, tire now if I can be of further assistance in this pernfit renewM process, Thank
you. SIDIL

lo-iowledge of the occurrence of any of the following:
a. Any occurrence with the residuals land application program that results in the land
application of significant amounts of residuals that are abnormal in quantity or
characteristic.
b. Any failure of the residuals land application program resulting in a release of material to
receiving waters,
c. Any time that self -monitoring inforination indicates that the residuals land application
program has gone out of compliance with the conditions and, limitations of this permit or
the parameters on which the program system was designed.

within five days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report shall outline the
actions taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem does not recur.
IV. GrROUNDWATYR REQUIREMENTS,
a. Each land application site identified with a GW-A in the most recently -certified
Attachment B of this pen -nit is dominated by soils with a mean seasonal high water table
greater than three feet below the land surface. Residuals land application events may
occur on these sites throughout the year.
b. Each land application site identified with a GW-B in the most recently -certified
Attachment B of this permit is dominated by soils with a mean seasonal high water table
between one and three feet below the land surface. Residual land application events on
these sites shall be prohibited from December through March, inclusive. No residuals
shall be land applied to these sites when the vertical separation between the depth of
residuals land application and the water table is less than three feet. The actual water
table depth for seasonally -restricted soils shall be verified by soil borings within 24 hours
prior to any residuals land application event that occurs from April through November,
inclusive. The number of borings advanced shall be sufficient to characterize water table
conditions across the land application site adequately. Any open borings shall be properly
filled with native soil, prior to the residuals land application event, to decrease the chance
of any residuals contaminating the groundwater.

Dear Mr. Joshi:
Enclosed are maps with compliance boundaries marked
for the two fields at the Sipes Orchard location. I wish
to divide the property into two fields.
The Northern field, on the opposite'side of the road
from the main school complex, is field 1. The southern
field behind the school complex is field 2.
Field I contains approximately 85 acres total with
about 70 usable after buffer zones. The northwest section
of site 1 is buffered, on the inap, 400 feet from structures
of dwelling. The southwest section of field is also
buffered 400 from dwellings. The west boundary is buffered
50 from public right of way. The southeastern boundary is
buffered 100 feet from the streams and 400 feet from
dwellings, On the southeastern edge of the field there are
some abandoned structures that we buffered away from. On
the northeastern part of field 1 there is a natural wooded
buffer.
The southern field behind the school complex is field 2.
Field 2 has approximately 65 total acres with about 60
after buffer zones. The field is mostly naturally buffered
by woods. There is a 100 foot buffer on the eastern
boundary for property lines. There is 100 foot buffer on
the western side for a stream.
The it of Conover is scheduled to eliminate the
Southeast Wastewater Treatment Plant NCO024279 around April
2004. The flow will be sent to the it of Newton. In the
municipal contract the City of Conover agrees to haul a
volume of sludge from the City of Newton"s facility equal,
to Conover's solids loading contribution. Because Conover's
wastewater will mix with Newton's wastewater prior to
,entering Newton's plant the sludge will be a combination of
Newton and Conover. We intend to compost the material but
in an emergency situation we may have to make arrangements

for eider Newton or Conover to land apply the slu
Enclosed is a copy of the contract.

Site Investigation
City of Conover, NC.
A. R- Rubin, Professor and Extension Specialist Scott Frederick, CPSS
Biological and agricultural`Engineering Greenvest, Inc.
Historically the City of Conover has had several fields permitted to receive the digested
biosolid materials generated within the treatment facilities serving the Town, The fields have
not received biosolid materials for several years because of the interlocal agreement to
develop and support the regional biosolids, compost facility in Hickory. Nonetheless, the City
of Conover desires to maintain the permit as an active alternative should they ever require a
land application activity to manage the biosolid materials. Should the fields be required, the
City is fully cognizant that there will be requirements to stabilize the materials and assure
adequate vector attraction, reduction is achieved prior to any land application.
I
The purpose of the brief report which follows is to describe the conditions encountered on the
Sipes Orchard Site and to describe the results of the soil sampling accomplished in support of
the permit renewal proposed. This is a back-up alternative, the primary option for the City of
Conover will remain the Regional Biosolids Compost Facility operated by the municipal
consortium and located in Hickory,
Location
The sites examined are located no of Conover on City farm Road. The sites are currently
permitted to serve as receiver for biosolid materials and the only applications in the last few
years have been those from the City of Lenoir accomplished through an emergency
agreement executed between the respective municipalities and the state. The sites at Sipes
Orchard occupy landscape positions typical of those encountered throughout the Piedmont
Region of North Carolina. The sites examined are located on SR 1484 Sipes Orchard Rd or
County Home Rd. The sites occupy locations located to the east and west of the road. One of
the two sites has been designated for permit purposes as NE while the other has been
designated SW. These sites are in pasture and they are well suited for the land application
operation proposed. The land use has not changed since: the initial permit was issued in 1992.
Access to the sites is off SR 1484 and the ingress and egress are suitable. The well
established pasture sites are well suited to receive this material.
Site and Soil Conditions
The soil resources mapped on the Sipes Orchard property are typical of those encountered
throughout the Piedmont. The Modem Soil Survey of Catawba County indicates that the
L predominant soils mapped on the site include: Cecil and Pacolet on the upland Iands-cape

- N -14-2002 THU Cl.49 AM OV FAX NO. PP 04
positions and Altavista in the terrace positions, These soils are very well suited for crop
production and serve well as biosolids receiver sites.
The slopes on the receiver sites have not changed since the initial land application permit was
issued in 1992. The are identified as buffers and areas with the steep slopes remain a
concern with this or any land application program. These areas are evident on the site maps
and clear to anyone on the site, nonetheless the ORC must label these are with flagging to
assureno materials are applied within designated buffers should the land application
proposed become necessary. The as with slopes in excess of 12% should not be included
in the areas intended to receive biosolid materials, Prior to any land application operations,
the are with steep slopes and the areas in the flood -plain should be identified as a part of
the site buffer and no material applied therein.
Soil Testing and Recommendations
Soil samples were collected from both the NW and the SE site. The soil materials were
subjected to a battery of standard soil fertility tests as accomplished by the No Carolina
Department of Agriculture, Agronomic Service's laboratory. The results of these soil tests are
summarized in Table 1, Soil pest Results, City of Conover Sipes Orchard Site, attached and
the recommendations gleaned from these tests are summarized in Table 2, Nutrient and Lime
Recommendations, City of Conover Sipes Orchard Sites, attached.
In general the soil testing indicates that the soil fertility levels are adequate for growth of the
fescue pastures present on the site. The soil pH is low and should be adjusted upwards to
optimize plant growth regardless of the use of the site as a receiver for biosolid materials. The
soil pH ranges between .2 and 5.5 on the NE site and between 5.1 and 5.4 on the SW site,
The recommended soil pH for the fescue grass on these soils when biosolids are applied is a
minimum of 6.0, Clearly, lime will be required to adjust the spoil PH upwards if biosolid
materials are to be applied at some time in the future. The recommended lime addition is
provided in Table 2. The soil p1l adjustment will require a lime application of approximately
L5 tons per acre. A very high quality lime -,table biosolid material is available from the City
of Lenoir and the site manager should consider application of the Lenoir Lime as a soil
conditioner.
The Phosphorus and Potassium levels are also low. Supplemental Phosphorus and Potassium
must be supplied to optimize crop growth. Other minerals such as Calcium, Magnesium,
Copper and Zinc are present at levels sufficient for crop growth. The recommendations for
Potassiurn and Phosphorus are presented in Table 2. These mineral supplements should be
supplied to optimize the fertility of the fields soon.
Pasture grazing and hay harvest are adequate as crop management measures on the Sipes
Orchard site. The livestock benefit from the grazing and cause no apparent damage to site
soils. Pasture grasses are well established and could benefit from the addition of lime and
phosphorus as indicated in Table 2, Nutrient and Lime Recommendations. These nutrients

FAX NO, 05
NOV*-14-2002 THU 09'50 M
are not required for agricultural operations, but must be supplied if biosolid materials are
applied to any portion of the site.
Conclusions
The sites intended to serve as potential receiver site's for biosolid materials are well suited for
this land use activity. or to any application of biosolid materials, supplemental lime will be
required. This adjustment to improve soil fertility is essential to assure no adverse impacts
from the application of biosolids.
In addition to the soil fertility adjustments, the biosolid materials applied to these sites must
be stabilized and treated to achieve the required level of vector attraction reduction and
pathogen reduction prior to any application. This can be achieved by digesting the material or
it can be achieved through lime stabilization and injection. Regardless of the method
selected, documentation must be provided to regulatory agencies that both the VAR and
PSRP treatment has been achieved prior to any land application. Please note the
recommendations described by Mr. Frederick concerning slopes and the need to clearly
identify are of concern prior to any biosolid application,

Subject: A provisional renewal of Land Application Permit
WQ0004381
Dear Ms. Thournburg:
The City of Conover requests a provisional renewal of our
land application permit WQ0004381. The purpose of this permit
is to backup our composting program which is our present means
for handling residuals. The City of Conover has been a member
of a regional composting facility (WQ0004563) since the early
1990s. We have not land applied residuals since 1994. The last
time we land applied residuals we used aerobic digestion as a
means for pathogen and vector attraction reduction. We still
have that capacity but we are not presently digesting our
residuals. We feel if we began land application again we would
use aerobic digestion or lime stabilization as a treatment
method. I see no representative way at this time to analyze our
sludge for the purpose of evaluating loadings. It is possible
that additional treatment may change analytical values. I feel.
45 days of digestion could alter nutrient concentrations. At a,
time in the future if we would ever need to use land application
as an residual handling option, the City,of Conover would agree
to do any x-nonitoring necessary to verify loading levels and
compliance with the issuance of a final permit prior to applying
residuals. The City of Conover feels a provisional land
application permit could expedite our ability to land apply
residuals in an emergency, when or if, compcsting is no longer
an option.
The State of North Carolina has purchased one of our two
wastewater treatment facilities (SE WWTP NCO024279) in order to
build a road through the site. This flow will go to the City of
Newton within six months.

Enclosed is information for a provisional permit renewal
for our land application permit. If you have any qu, estion,
comments, or need any further information you may contact me at
Sincerely,
Michael Fox
Wastewater Supervisor

designated as non -dedicated if any of the following is applicable:
+ Any land application site certified for the residuals land application program that receives residuals at
rates or frequencies greater than agronomically justifiable.
+ Any land application site certified for the residuals land application program that is used primarily for
residuals disposal alone (i.e,, versus crop production).
+ Any land application site certified for the residuals land application program that is designated as
dedicated by the Division's Director.
Any changes to this application form will result in the application package being returned.
All forms and guidance documents referred to in this application form may be downloaded from the web site
at http://h2o,enr.state.ne.us/ndpul,.

Dear Mr..Fox,
Subject: Site Investigation
Thank youfor providing Scott Frederick, CPS S with Greenvest, Inc., and I the opportunity to
continue working with you on the biosolids management program serving the City of
Conover. Clearly biosolids management is a critical issue for communities. Although the
primary biosolids management option for the City remains the regional corropost facility, the
need to maintain the permitted sites is important as a back -Lip option.
In support of the permit renewal, an investigation of the permitted sites at Sipes Dairy was
accomplished. During this investigation, a walking reconnaissance of the site was performed
and samples of the soil material from the Sipes Dairy site were collected for analysis. The
soil materials have been tested and those results -are included with the repoit which follows,
-b 11:i c site continues to appear well suited to receive biosolid materials. The soil testina
i-dicates that soil pH is slightly below the optimum for land application, but the low pH can
easily be corrected prior to any blosolids application operation.
We are pleased to provide the report attached, We do hope dais is adequate for the needs of
the regulatory agency and the City of Conover. If additional information is required, we will
Z:
lie happy to provide it. 'rhe transmittal letter from Mr. Frederick is under separate letterhead,

Historically the City ofConover has had several fields permitted to receive the digested
hi solid materials generated Nvithin the treatment facilities serving the Town, The Fields have
riot received biosolid niaterials for several vears because of the interlocal tntreernent to
develop and support the regional biosolids compost hicility in Hickory, Nonetheless. the City
of Conover desires to maintain the permit as an active alternative should they ever requ I ire as
land application activity to manage the blosolid materials, Should the fields be required, the
City Is fully cognizant that there will be I-C(lUirernents to stabilize the materials andasSUre
adequate vector attraction reduction is achieved prior to any land application,
The purpose of the brief report vhich f'o1lo\kS IS tca CleSCribC the conditions encountered on the
Sipes Orchan] Site and to describe the results of the soil sampling accomplished in support of
the permit rene�,val proposed. This is as back -tip alternative. the primary option for the CM Or'
Conover will remain the Regional Blosolids Compost Facility operated by the rtlfflliCipal
consortium and located in Hickory.
Location
The sites examined are located north ofCono ver on City Iarm Road. 1-he sites are Cffrentjf
permitted to serve as a receiver for biosolid materials and the only applications in the last tle\�
years have been those front the City ofLenoir accomplished through an ernergenc,,
agreement executed bewicen the respeCLAVC, plUniCipalitieS and the state. The sites at Sipes
Orchard occupy landscape positions typical ofthose enCOUntered throughout the Piedmont
Re(oon of North Carolina, The sites examined are located on SR 1484 Sipes Orchard Rd or
County Home Rd. The sites OCCUpy locations located to the east and west of the road, One of
the two sites has been designated t,or permit purposes as NE while the other has been
designated SNN,", These sites are in pasture and they are we] I suited for the eland application 2
operation proposed. The land use has not changed since the initial permit. was issued in 199
Access to the sites is off SR 1484 and the ingress and egress are suitable, The Nvell
established pasture sites are Nvell Suited to receive this material.
Site and Soil Conditions
The soil resources rnapped on the Sipes Orchard property are typical ofthose encountered
throughout the Piedmont. The Modern Soil SLI-CVey Of Catawba County indicates that the
predominant soils mapped on the site include. Gcil and Pacolet on the upland landscape

positions and Altavista in the terrace positions. These soils are very, well suited tor crop
production and serve well as biosolids receiver sites.
The slopes on the receiver sites have not changed since the initial land application permit was
issued in 1992. The areas identified as buffers and areas with the steep slopes remain a
concern with this or any land application program. These areas are evident on the site maps
and clear to anyone on the site, nonetheless the OR C must label these areas with flagging to
assure no materials are applied within designated buffers should the land application
proposed become necessary. The areas with slopes in excess of I?-% should not be included
in the areas intended to receive biosolid materials, prior to any land application operations.
the areas with steep slopes and the areas in the flood -plain should be identi lied as as part of
the site buffer and no material appliedthercin,
.Soil Testing and Recornmen (tat ions
Testing
samples were collected front both the NW aril the SE site, The soil materials were
subjected to a battery of standard soil fertility tests as accornplished by the North Carolina
Department of Agriculture, Agronomic Services laboratory. The results ofthese soil tests are
summarized in Table 1, Soil Test Results. City of Conover Sipes Orchard Site. attached and
the recommendations gleaned from these tests are summarized in'Table'-1. Nutrient and Linle
Recommendations, City of Conover Sipes Orchard Sites, attached.
In general the soil testing indicates that the soil fertility levels are adequate for growth ofthe
fescue pastures present on the site. The soil PH is lovv and should be adjusted upwards to
optimize plant growqh regardless of the use of the site as a receiver for biosolid materials. Ths
soil PH ranges- between 5.2 and 5.5 on the NF site and bet-vveen 5.1 and .5.4 on the SW site.
The reconlinended soil pF1 for the fescue grass on these soils wheii hiosolids are applied is �1
rninirnurn of 6.0, Clearly, lime will be required to adjust the spoil PH Upwards il'blosolid
materials are to be applied at some time in the future. The recommended lime addition is
provided in Table 2.The soil pf-I adjustment will require a lime application of approximately
1 .5 tons per acre. A very high quality lime stable blosolid material is available from the ChN,
of Lenoir and the site manager should consider application of the Lenoir Lime as a soil
conditioner,
The Phosphorus and Potassium levels are also IoNv- Suppleniental Phosphorus and Potassillill
must be supplied to optimize crop groxvth. Other minerals such as Calcium. Magnesium.
Copper and Zinc are present at levels sufficient for crop grmv'th. The recommendations for
Potassium and Phosphorus are presented in Table 2. These mineral supplements should be
supplied to optfinize the fertility ofthe fields soon,
Pasture :JiT azing and had, harvest are adequate am s crop manage Trent measures on the Sipes
Orchard site. 'The livestock benefit from the grazing and cause no apparent damage to site
t
soils. Pasture urasses are wet[ established and could benefit front the addition of lime and
phosphorus as indicated inTable 27., Nutrient and L,Ime Recommendations. These 111.1trients

are not required for agricultural operations, but must be supplied if biosolid materials are
applied to any portion of the site,
Conclusions
The site intended to serve as potential recei-vvr site for biosolid materials are well suited for
this land use activity, prior to any application of biosolid materials, supplemental lime will be
required, This adjustment to improve soil fertility is essential to assure no adverse impacts
from the application of biosolids.
In addition to the soil fertility adjustments, the biosolid materials applied to these situ must
be stabilized and treated to achieve the required level of vector attraction reduction and
pathogen reduction prior to any application. This can be achieved by digesting the material or
it can be achieved through lime stabilization and injection. Regardless dless of the method
selected.* documentation must be provided to regulatory agencies that both the VAR and
PIP treatment has been achieved prior to any land application. Tease mote the
recommendations described by Mr. Frederick concerning slopes and the need to clearly
identify areas of concern prior to any biosolid application,

Re, Site Investigation Report for the Town of Conover
Dear Dr, Rubin.
have reviewed the Site investigation Report;prepared for the Town of Conover to renew
the biosolids application permit it for the Sipes Dairy site. The, subject site is still a viable
lard application site and should continue to provide are alternative for biosolids disposal
for the Town
It should be noted that step slopes and buffer areas need to be delineated and remade
visible to the ORC to eliminate the possibility of encroachment or accidental biosol ds
application.
In addition, the CHI C should follow the recommendations in the report to achieve suitably
site fertility and pH for optimum vegetation growth.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance in this permit renewal process "Thant
