Dear Mr. Wright:
via Email
Subject: Acknowledgement of Receipt - 2020 Annual Report
Town of Cherryville - Permit No.: WQ0000430
Land Application of Residuals
Gaston County
The referenced Annual Report was received electronically on February 23rd, 2021. Additional information
requested by Mooresville Regional Office staff on May 18th, 2021 was received by email from Mr. Nate Roth
(Synagro) on June 3rd, 2021. Upon review there are no further questions related to this report.
Please note for future Annual Reports:
The Sodium Adsorption Ratio calculation(s) is necessary to show laboratory results and all conversions
were applied correctly. The permittee is responsible for providing this supporting documentation if not
included by your contracted laboratory or land applier.
The 30-day bench passed by mass balance equation. This facility utilizes an oxidation ditch which may
adversely impact results when applying the Van Kleeck equation. This item is noted here because the
laboratory only reported the Van Kleeck data on the final results page. The mass balance results were
included in a separate reporting calculation. You may wish to discuss reporting options with your laboratory
to eliminate confusion over a pass / fail result on future analyses.
Soils reports show lime is needed on many fields and the lime log lists amounts applied, but dates were
blank. Please include this updated form with next years' report to document lime application.
You may contact Maria Schutte at Maria.Schuttencdenr.qov or 704-235-2184 with questions.
Sincerely, DocuSigned by:

Na mg/I = (Na mg/kg x % Solids) + 100 = (1660 x 3.9000) = 100 = 64.74
Ca mg/I = (Ca mg/kg x % Solids) + 100 = (13100 x 3.9000) = 100 = 510.9
Mg mg/I = (mg mg/kg x % Solids) = 100 = (3410 x 3.9000) = 100 = 132.99
Na meq = Na mg/I = Molec.Wgt.Na = 64.74 = 23 = 2.81478
Ca meq = Ca mg/I = Molec.Wgt.Ca = 510.9 = 20 = 25.545
Mg meq = Mg mg/I = Molec.Wgt.Mg = 132.99 = 12 = 11.0825
SAR = Na meq = SqrRoot[0.5 x (Ca meq + Mg meq)] = 2.81478 = SgrRoot[0.5(25.545+11.0825)] = 0.657743
