Land Application of Wastewater Residuals
Catawba County
Dear Mr. Haynes:
In accordance with your application received on June 26, 1997, we are fo yarding herewith Permit
No. WQ0001669 dated September 3, 1,997, to the City of Hickory for the continued operation of a
wastewater residuals land application program. The acreage included in this land application program has
been reduced to approximately 905.7 acres.
Please note that the application sites previously limited to seasonal use are now permitted for year-
round use provided the eater table is shown (by cheeping with a hand -auger and documenting the results)
to be, at least three feet below the land surface. This procedure change will afford more flexibility in the
land application program while continuing, to preserve the integrity of underlying groundwater. In
consideration of past odor complaints, the Division recommends that a buffer of 800 feet with no land
application therein) be maintained from any off -site residence in proximity to Field 2 -01 (Ruby
Stegall/Hugh Waters).
:This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until August 31, 2002, shall void Permit
o. W001 issued March 22, 1995, and shall be, subject, to the conditions and lit 'ttions as
specified therein. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring and reporting requirements contained in
this permit, Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting and maintaining the rewired operational
information will result in future compliance problems,
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the
right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty t days following receipt of
this permit. This request must be in the: form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of both

I. Liquid sludge will be delivered to the land
application sites in leak proof 6,500 gallon

"The, primary land application iequipment is a tractor
drawn Calumet Liquid Bio-Solids Spreader with a
5,0:00 gallon vacuum/pressure tank, and high

Back-up spreading equipment:
3,550 Big A terri at ar with a 2,200 gallon tank
2,004 04 Chem terri ator with a 2,200 gallon tank
. Spreading rates have been calculated during the
ongoing program of spreading the sludge. The speed
of the spreading equipment is controlled to achieve
the desired spreading rate.
To determine the spreading rate a leaser amount of
liquid laid ° was spread over a measured area.
Due to the low solids content, several applications
T the liquid sludge e; are required to achieve the
desired loadinrates. This helps to insure even
spreading f the`material.

AGRONOMIST REPORT iffjgKORY
These sites are part of the ongoing land application
program for sludge generated at the Hickory WWTP. It has
been a successful program for several years and land
application of this sludge has become a customary part of
creep~ production for several farmers in the area.
Normal planting, harvesting, and production procedures
should continue to be followed for the proposed crops. Hay
and pasture should be mowed or grazed closely before
application of sludge to allow 30 days of regrowth to meet;
the -clay restricted feeding provision of the regulations.
Heavy metals from this sludge are not a problem for the
soil or crops. Application raga will be monitored to comply
with lifetime loading rates for individual metals.',
Nitrogen is the limiting factor for applying sludge.
When sludge is"applied in a field within three 1 1 years of
the previous sludge applicationt residual nitrogen will be
considered to determine the appropriate PAN requirement for
the proposed crop.
Recommendations for N,; , and K fertilizer must await until
the specific crop will be planted in each field.'` Fertilizer
recommendations as specified by the North Carolina Extension
service will be recommended to the farmer.
Harvested crops will not be used for human consumption.
Sludge will be applied and incorporated into the soil prior
to planting corm soybeans, and small grains. It will be
applied prior to planting or on top of hay, pasture and Sudan
crops during either the gr,owing season or winter months. A
suitable vegetative cover will be maintained, in accordance
with the crop management plan previously approved by The
Division of Environmental Manag

,SOTL SCIENTIST KEPORT JR19KORY A
I have reviewed the soils and soil boring information
for the field sites in this application. All the soils are
suitable for production of the listed crops, and the
application of sludge at agronomic rates will not negatively
impact soil productivity.
Three (3) soils, Chew aela loam, Buncombe sandy loam, and
Riverview loam, are in the flood plain area and have seasonal
high water tables. The soils are in limited areas bordering
streams and rivers. Sludge application will be restricted to
the seasonal periods when ground water is below 30 inches and
during non -flood seasons. Sludge will be incorporated when
applied to these soils.

Chewada Series
The Chewacla series consists of nearly level, somewhat
poorly drained, soils on flood plains. These soils formed
in rent alluvium,
In a representative profile the surface layer is brown
loam about 10 inches thick. The subsoil is about 30 inches
thick. The upper part is brown, friable loam mottled
with light brownish gray, Underlying this is light yellow,-
isb-brown. friable loam mottled with light brow, nish ggTay.
The lower part is light -gray, friable clay loam mottled
with vellowish brown. The substratum, to it depth of about
64 inches, is gray clay loam mottle(I with yellowish brown
and olive.
Cheivacla soils are flooded very frequently, but for
brief periods. Unless limed, they are medium acid to
strongly acid throughout. Natural fertility is low, and
the content of organic matter is medium. Permeability
is moderate, and available water capacity is high. The
root zone is moderately deep. Depth to the seasonal high
water table is 1 foot. The shrink -swell potential is low.
Chemacla soils are fairly important for farming. They
are well suited to corn. Most of the acreage is pastured or
cultivated. Flooding and wetness are the main limita-
tions.

Tentative Series
WEW: RAG
GASTON SERIES 7/83
The Gaston series consists of well drained, moderately permeable soils on
ridges and side slopes of the Piedmont uplands. They formed in residuum
weathered from mixed acid and basic crystal ling rock such as granite, gneiss,
quartz diorite, gabbro, and tonalite. Slopes range from 0 to 25 percent.
Taxonomic Class: Clayey, mixed, thermic Humic Hapludults,
Typjcal pedon: Gaston sandy clay loam -- cultivated, (Colors are for moist
soil unless otherwise stated.)
Ap--O to 5 inches; dark reddish brown (SYR 3/4); yellowish red (SYR 5/4)
dry; sandy clay loam, weak medium granular structure; friable ; many fine roots,
slightly acid; clear smooth boundary. (3 to 10 inches thick.)
Bt1--5 to 14 inches; dark red (2.5YR 3/6) clay; moderate medium subangular
blocky structure; firm; sticky, plastic; common fine and few medium roots; common
distinct clay films on face of peds; few black streaks; moderately acid; gradual
wavy boundary. (5 to 30 inches thick.)
Bt2--14 to 47 inches; red (`*SYR 4/6) clay; few medium distinct reddish
yellow (7.5YR 6/8) mottles; moderate medium subangular blocky structure; firm;
sticky, plastic; common fine roots; common distinct clay films on faces of peds;
few fine flakes of mica; few black streaks; moderately acid; clear wavy
boundary. (10 to 45 inches thick.)
BC--47 to 57 inches; red (2.5YR 4/6) clay loam; common medium distinct
reddish yellow (7.5YR 6/8) mottles; weak medium subangular blocky structure;
friable; slightly sticky, slightly plastic; common fine flakes of mica; few
pockets of weathered black minerals; moderatcly acid; clear wavy boundary.
(0 to 24 inches thick)
C--57 to 72 inches; red (.SYR 4/6), yellowish red (SYR 5/6), and yellowish
brown (IOYR 5/4) saprolite that crushes easily to loam; rock controlled

structure, >common black specks and streaks; common fine flakes of mica; moderately
acid.
TyEt_Location. Gaston County, North Carolina; 5 miles South of Belmont on
NC Highway 273; 0.9 mile south on State Road 2525; 500 feet south on field road;
250 feet west of road.
Ra�e of Characteristics: Thickness of the clayey lit horizon ranges from 24 to
48 inches, and it extends to a depth of 34 to 58 inches below the surface. Depth
to bedrock is greater than 6 feet, The soil ranges from strongly acid to slightly
acid unless limed. Most pedons have few to common flakes of mica in the B
horizon and few to many flakes of mica in the BC and C horizons.
The A or Ap horizon has hue of 2.5YR to 7.5YR, value of 3, and chroma of 3
to 6. It is loam, fine sandy loam, sandy clay loam, or clay loam.
The Bt horizon has hue of 1OR or 2.5YR, value of 3 or 4, and chroma, of 4 to
8. Value of 3 is restricted to the upper part of the Bt horizon. High chroma
mottles and dark streaks or stains occur in most pedons® It is clay or clay loam.
The 8C horizon, if present, has hue of 2.5YR to 5YR, value 4 to 6, and chroma
of 4 to 8. High chroma mottles and dark streaks or stains occur in most pedons.
It is clay loam, sandy clay loam, or loam.
The C horizon is commonly multicolored in shades of red, yellow, and brown.
It is saprolite weathered from mixed acid -and basic crystalline rock that easily
crushes to loamy textures.
C2apetinn Geri s: The Farragut series is the only other known series in the same
family. Farragut soils contain more silt and are fo rmed from a thin layer of
colluvium over shale residuum. Series in closely related families are the Cecil,
Clifton, Coronaca, Cullen, Davidson, Georgeville, Gwinnett, Hanceville, Hiwassee,
Madison, Mecklenburg, Pacolet, Stoneville, and Tatum soils, Cecil, Coronaca,
Davidson, Georgeville, Gwinnett, Hiwassee, Madison, and Pacolet soils are kaolinitic.
In addition, Cecil, Georgeville, Madison, and Pacolet soils do not have horizons

of about 60 inches, is reddish -yellow sandy loam.
Unless limed, Pacolet soils are strongly acid through-
out. Natural fertility and the content of organic matter
are low. Permeability is< moderate, and available, water
capacity is medium. The, root zone is moderately deep.
Depth to the seasonal high water table is more than 5
feet. The shrink -swell potential is moderate,.
Pacolet soils are fairly important for farming. Most
of the acreage is wooded. Small acreages are cultivated
and pastured. Slope is the main limitation.

You will however note the report forms which are enclosed have been modified from last year to
include additional information required by EPA as outlined in 40 CFR Part 503. Theinfo rmation on
the forms related only to Part 503 is optional for the State at this time unless it is specificafly addressed
in the State issued permit. However since the requirements of 40 CFR Part 503 are self implementing,
they are legally binding and enforceable Federal requirements for all persons subject to the requirements
of 40 CFR Part 503, even if these requirements are not currently contained in a state permit The annual
reports for EPA must be received by EPA at the following address on or before February 19, 1995.

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, pertnittees 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.

PART TV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The permittee requests renewal of the subject residuals
disposal Permit. In addition, the Permittee requests that an
additional 149 acres be added to the Permit.
All of the proposed residual disposal sites with exception
of fields No. 1 & 14 are recommended to be included in the Permit
upon renewal. Fields No. 1 & 14 are adjacent to several on -site
and off -site residences, which, even with buffers may encourage
the creation of nuisance problems. These sites, therefore, are
deemed unsuitable. All of the other proposed acreage is
considered suitable for residuals disposal.
Part VI, condition no. 6, paragraph III of the existing
Permit should be changed to read: ...month of March through
October (inclusive).
Residual analysis review found little, if any change from
past analysis, and should not preclude use of this material for
it's intended purpose.

Pending a technical review by the SERG and concurrence'
the GW Section, it is recommended the Permit be rene' e
containing the proposed acreage ('with appropriate restrictions
and/oreletion as noted).

PART II - DESCRIPTION OF SLUDGE LAND APPLICATION PROGRAM
The City disposes of sludge being generated at its two (2)
municipal wastewater treatment facilities. The Henry or
Wastewater Treatment Plant is a 6.0 MGD two stage biological
treatment plant. The Northeast Wastewater Treatment Plant is a
5.0 MGD extended aeration treatment plant. sludge from the
Henry Fork Wastewater Treatment Plant is retained in an aerated
sludge holding lagoon before stabilization in a chemical
oxidation IPurifax) unit. There are existing sand drying beds;
however, the City disposes of sludge from the Purifax unit

Page Three
without using the drying beds ;except for temporary storage
purposes.
The Northeast Wastewater Treatment Plant has aerobic
digesters and a sludge holding tank. The City disposes of
sludge from the digesters
The City hauls sludge to the sites in tanker trucks. The
sludge is then surface and subsurface applied depending on the
particular site constraints.
The City has submitted a leachable metals analysis which
indicates that the sludge is considered nod -hazardous
The 'City has ; submitted an analysis the sludge
characteristicsfor each of the two t wastewater treatment
plant sludges. The reported characteristics show the sludge t
e fairly typical of municipal wastewater treatment plant
sludges.
PARS" III - EVALUATION AND% tI
1* Performance Evaluation: With the exception of an
occasional lapse the City has maintained an effective land
application program in compliance with its er it
requirements. The City contracts the application program`
to AMSCO.
The proposed new sites all appear to be generally well
suited as receiver sites for land application.
2. Recommendations: It is recommended that the Permit be
renewed and amended to include the requested additional
sites.
It is recommended that the following modifications be made
conditions of Permit No. 1"
1. Condition No. l : The buffer requirements to
residences should be changed from 200 feet to 40
feet.
2. Replace Condition No. 23 with the following:
Each site shall be adequately limed, to a soil. PH of
6.5 prior to initial sludge applications. Thereafter,
soil tests shall be performed annually and lime
additions will be rude in accordance with the
recommendations ons of a recognized soil scientist or
agronomist. The per itt e shall submit a copy of the
soil test results and a report o lime additions in

Part I I t - EVALUATION AND
Evaluation: Based on the reported sludge characteristics, Zinc and
Nitrogen appear to be the limiting constituents for the two (2) sludges.
It should be noted that the report prepared by & R. Rubin pertains
to the Bowman property (Site No. ) and the "Mauser Property" which is
not a part of this application. The proposed Airport Property (Site
No� 2) was not addressed in 10. Rubin's report although as brief
inspection of this site was made. By telephone conversation wiftb Mr.
Rubin on July 7, 1984, the investigator has confirmed that this
rarticular site should be considered as only marginally acceptable.
Ar. Rubin cited the fat ct thathe site has been drastically disturbed,
the soil is very shallow and in some areas the site has been
excavated to rock horizons. This, coupled with the fact that the
najority of the areas indicated for use will not be accessible due
to FAA and airport regulations, severely limiL the usefullness of this
particular site. 'A

Part II DES'CRIPTION OF PROPOSED SLUDGE LAND APPLICATION PROGRAM
1� Existing Facilities: The City has requested that existing Permit
No. 10587R1 be revised to allow land application of sludge to sites
described in Part 1. 5. ab�ove, in addition to the previously permitted
sites. These sites are generally similar to those previously permitted
and should be permitted for the same application rates (reference
Dr. Rubin's report).
Please refer to the Staff Report and Recommendations prepared by J.
Thurman Horne dated 8/17/84 (copy attached) for an indepth discussion
of sludge characteristics, suggested loading rates, etc.
Part III - EVALUATION AND RECO',��-IENDATIONS
1. Performance Evaluation: The proposed, sites appear to be well suited
as receivers of land applied sludge. These sites are generally
more remote than those previous"Ly permitted and, therefore, should
be more desirable from the standpoint of public acceptability.
2. RecommendatiOnS and/or Special Conditions: it is recoymniended that
Permit No. .1.0587RI be amended to allow land application of sludge
to the requested sites.
It is recounmended that condition No. 31 of the Permit be revised
as follows:
