the Compost Facility. Other fixed costs will be based on the
.proportion of line item costs assigned to the Compost Facility.
Total fixed costs are determined from the annual operating
budget adopted each June 30 for the Sewer Administrative and
Plant Departments. For fiscal year 1997-1998, this cost is
$640,000M.
Facility Capacity: Based on the Plant's bio-solid rating and production capability.
As of July 1, 1997, this rating was 15.6 MG per year. This rating
is subject to change based on any upgrades to the facility.
Variable Costs: Costs allocated to the Compost Facility that vary in direct
proportion to volume of treated bio-solids; and generally
include cost of chemicals, electricity, and equipment repairs.
Total variable costs are determined from the annual operating
budget adopted each June 30 for the Sewer Plant. For the fiscal
year 1997-1998, this cost is $109,000M

i
1 vera e Annual Flow: Determined from daily flow statistics maintained by ity'
Sewer Plant, inclusive of the Town's� contribution to Such flow.
This component will be determined from flow information
available at July ist for the previous fiscal year. For the base
year beginning July 1, 1997, the average annual flow is 7.92 M
per year.
Date per Gallon for fiscal year 1 7-1 8 is .0.
Concentrations of bio-solids offered by the Towson to the City pursuant to this agreement
shall not exceed. Five (5%) Percent solids by volume, Acceptance of bio-solids in concentrations greater
than live 5% Percent of solids by volume will be solely at the discretion of the City at all thnes.
Shelby reserves the right: to refuse to accept bio-solids from Boiling Springs either
completely or in pert to the extent that the volume requested to be adapted. -by Shelby causes Shelby to
be unable to meet its own bi -solids disposal requirements at the time of any such request by the Town.
, In the event of any future expansion of its Wastewater Treatment eat Plant or facilities, .
Shelby will allow Boiling Springs preferential consideration for the purchase of specified reserve
capacity in such expansion facilities for bio-solids"

Dear Mr. Howell:
Chapter 143, North Carolina General Statutes, authorizes and
directs the Environmental Management Commission of the Department
of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources to protectand
preserve the water and, air resources of the State, The Division
of Water Quality has the delegated authority to enforce adopted
pollution control rules.
Based upon a; review of your groundwater compliance
monitoring data received by this office October 10, 1996 as
requirement of the subject o it the- division has reason to
believe that the permitted activities have resulted in the
groundwater standards being exceeded. The standards can be found
at 1 A NCAC 2L. Condition9 1() of your permit states
The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee
of theresponsibility for damages to surface or groundwaters
resulting from the operation of this facility.
Specific constituents which are exceeding the groundwater
standards are as Bellows.

In addition, the concentration of total suspended
solids(TSS) has been greater than a general standard of 10 ppm
for MWI, MW2, MW3 and MW4 for the past three years. Typically
when TSS exceeds 10 ppm, as it does for MW1 through MW4, it
indicates a problem with the construction of the wells.
In the past we have discussed 2L violations in regards to
heavy metals, particularly lead, for this facility. In reviewing
your monitoring well data, We have found a correlation between
high concentrations of total suspended solids and heavy metals.
The attached figures show this relationship. The pattern t of
fluctuation in the concentrations of TSS and heavy metals,
suggest a possible relationship. The up -gradient well does not
show a relationship between TSS and heavy metals fluctuations;
however, MW2 and MW3 have strong correlations in their patterns
of fluctuation between TSS and heavy metals (See Figures). MW4,
the down -gradient well, has a similar correlation but with much
less variability,
If the levels of heavy metals cannot be shown to be in
compliance with the 2L standards, then the monitoring wells may
have to be replaced.
You should be aware, however, that a violation of IS'CAC
2L may subject you to a civil penalty assessment under the
authority of G.S. 143-215.6A of up to $10,000 per rule violation.
Therefore it is in the town's best interest to correct any

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

new Federal requirements while, continuing to comply with it existing State issued pernrit. 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

Dear Mayor Washburn:
In accordance with your application received September 18, 1987, we are
forwarding herewith Permit No. 15825, dated March 7, 1988, to the Town of Boiling
Springs for the operation of the subject sludge land application program.
The Division's Groundwater Section has commented that borings which were
conducted on the subject site in 1978 indicate that a landfill which exists at this
site has less than two (2) feet of cover over a substantial portion of the landfill.
It is required that a minimum of two feet of cover be placed over those areas, or
that those areas not be used for the land application of sludge. Additionally, the
Town of Boiling Springs should contact the Division's Asheville Regional Office to
determine further measures which may be needed in order to completely delineate the
landfill area.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until. March 31, 1993,
and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon
