reason to believe that the permitted activities have resulted in
the groundwater standards being exceeded. The standards can be

PART TV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Pharr Yarns requests reissuance of the subject Permit for
the landfilling of dewatered residuals from their industrial WWT
facilities. The residuals are buried in trenches approx. 3 feet
wide by 10 feet deep by 75-100 feet long. After depositing the
residuals in the trench, approx. 3 feet of earthen backfill is
placed over the trenches. The site appears to have been well
maintained with no evidence of runoff observed. The site has
ample capacity to serve the Mill for several years.
GW monitoring wells have been established at this site and
are being monitored for contaminationa GW conments and
recorrn,endations should be obtained prior to the renewal of this
Permit.
Pending receipt and approval by the GW section and approval
by the SERG, it is recommended that the permit be renewed as
requested. it should be noted that the staff of this Office
attempts to discourage this "tyre" of residual disposal in lieu
of other disposal methods (such as land application). Landfilling
generally renders the site useless for all intents and purposes
and requires long-term monitoring of groundwater (usually well
after the disposal operation, has ceased). Landfilled residuals
have minimum contact with the adjacent soils, therefore,
additional time is necessary for breakdown and assimilation of
the waste constituents. This results in these, sites becoming long
term "'storage" sites rather than disposal areas. For these
reasons, it is suggested that the Division consider not allowing
landfilling as a disposal method unless the arrlicant can
demonstrate that there are no other practicable alternatives.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Pharr Yarns requests reissuance of the subject Permit for
the landfilling of der ater ed residuals from their industrial WWT
facilities. The residuals are buried in trenches approx. 3 feet
wide by 10 feet deep by 75-100 feet long. After depositing the
residuals in the trench, approx. 3 feet of earthen backfill is
Placed over the trenches. The site appears to have been well
maintained with no evidence of runoff observed., The site has
ample capacity to serve the Mill for several years.
GW monitoring wells have been established at this site and
are being monitored for contamination. GW comments and
recommendations should be obtained prior to the renewal of this
Permit.
Pending receirt and approval by the GW section and approval
by the SERG, it is recommended that the permit be renewed as
requested. Tt should be noted that the staff of this Office
attempts to discourage this "type" of residual disposal in lieu
of other disposal methods (such as land application). Landfilling
generally renders the site useless for all intents and purposes
and requires long-term monitoring of groundwater (usually well
after the disposal operation has ceased). Landfilled residuals
have minimum contact with the adjacent soils, therefore,
additional time is necessary for breakdown and assimilation of
the waste constituents. This results in these sites becoming long
term "storage" sites rather than disposal areas. For these
reasons, it is suggested that the Division consider not allowing
landfilling as a disposal method unless the applicant can
demonstrate that there are no other practicable alternatives..

SITE LOCATION
The existing sludge land disposal is located approximately 1
mile to the southeast of the town of Spencer Mountain in Gaston
County, North Carolina, between N.C. Route 2201 and the South
Fork Catawba River (see enclosed section of the USGS Map of
Mount Holly, N. C.). The site is of an irregular shape approx-
imately, 1,000-2,000 feet long and 600-740 feet wide. There is
an existing access road with a gate which is normally locked
prohibiting unauthorized entry. A trench landfilling technique
is being utilized at the site. Trenches 2-3 feet wide and
10-12 feet deep are mechanically dug and then filled with
dewatered sludge to a depth of approximately 3 feet. Each
trench is approximately 100 feet long. The > excavated material
is stockpiled on site and used for cover after the trench is
filled. Enclosed are the site layout and typical trench cross-
section drawings.

SLUDGE CHARACTERISTICS
The average annual quantity of the sludge to be disposed of at
the existing landfill is 195,000 gallons with an average con-
centration of 16 'solids. The sludge is generated at the
Pharr Yarns wastewater treatment plant in McAdenville, N. C.,
whose operations are based: can the biological activated sludge
process, and treating wastewater from yarn dyeing operations.
The standard EP T ioi y/L aohate Test was performed on the
sludge (see enclosed results),. The results show a nonhazardous
characterof the sludge. Because Pharr yarns does not use
pesticides or ether chemicals which may cause odrro ivity
ignitability, or reactivity of sludge, those particular param-
eters or tests were deleted from the testing program. All of
the toxic metals concentrations Treasured in the simulate
leaohate from the sludge are well below the values established
by the U.S. EPA for EP Toxicity.

GROUNDWATER CONDITIONS
There is no groundwater recorded within 12 feet from the sur-
face. It is expected that the groundwater table, if any, is
sloped to the south or southeast toward the South Fork Catawba
River. There are no recorded drinking water wells within 1/4
mile from the proposed sludge disposal site.
The specific geologic conditions in Gaston County, N. C., where
the unweathered rock lies near the surface, cause most of the
water wells in the county to be drilled deep penetrating
either granite or schist. The average depth of water wells
in Gaston County is 172 feet. The closest recorded wells are
located more than I mile to the north from the proposed site
and are 130 feet and 82 feet deep, The closest unrecorded
drinking water well may exist approximately 1500 feet to the
southwest from the site.
3665-4 3-2

SECTION 4
SOILS AND GEOLOGICAL CONDITIONS
The existing sludge land disposal site is located approximately
1 mile to the southeast of the town of Spencer Mountain,
The terrain is sloped uniformly (5%) to 'the south toward the
South Fork Catawba River. Based on the information supplied by
the Gaston County Soil Conservation Service, the soils in the
existing land disposal area consist predominantly of sullen
clay loam and tatum silt loam. No groundwater table was
detected within;` l feat -fTom the surface. The cullen clay and
tatum silt loam eater armeabil t is low (0.6-2.0 inches/hour),
which should provide sufficient protection of groundwater. The
depth of underlying weathered or unweathered rock which con-
sists of gabbro-diorite is greater than 14 feet. Enclosed is
a soil survey report by the Soil Conservation Service.
The groundwater slope is expected to be toward the South Fork
Catawba River. No wells are located in the direction of the
expected groundwater movement or in the area of the site. The
nearest well is approximately 11500 feet northwest of the site.
The impact on the groundwater should be negligible considering
the light sludge loadings, distance from the disposal area to
the river, and especially the soil characteristics.
