Standard Operating Procedure and Operation and
Maintenance Plan for the Davie County – Land
Application Program
l. Purpose
a. Ensure the requirements of the Davie County Non-Discharge Permit#
WQ0010583 are met.
2. Personnel
a . The following is a list of personnel in o rder they are to be contacted when
information needs to be shared.
i. EMA Resources inc.
1. David Ackley - Project Manager 419-212-3699
2. Roy Whitaker- Director of Bus.Development./Ops. 336-909-1718
3. Brent Collins - Director of Technical Services 336-399-3646
ii. Davie County
l. David Bone - County Manager 336-753-6001
2. Johnny Lambert- Utilities Director 336-749-6313
3. Tim Smith-ORC Cooleemee WWTP 336-477-5096
3. Operational Functions
a. The operational function of this project it going to involve mixing the
lagoon with a tractor powered Houle pump to achieve a well-mixed and consistent
material that is suitable for land application. It is going to be spread at agronomic
rates that are determined using the Realistic Yield Expectations (RYE) as outlined in
the permit, the amount of other nutrient sources the landowner and operator has
applied, and the residuals nutrient and metal sample that is current for that
monitoring period. It is going to be spread with a liquid applicator that will use
pressure to spread the material in such a way as to achieve a consistent spread pattern.
The material is going to be land applied on fields that have a crop growing on them
that are going to either be grazed or cut for animal feed. Application rates will be
reduced by 25% on fields that are primarily used for grazing in accordance with
USDA NRCS 590. Grazed fields will be determined by the farmers and EMA project
managers.
4. Maintenance Schedule
a. EMA Resources Inc. will follow the maintenance schedule as recommended by the
EMA Resources Operations Manager (Mike Collins) for the equipment necessary to
complete the job.
5. Safety Measures
a. Davie County and EMA Resources Inc. believe in operating in a safety conscious
manner and all employees participate in safety training that is designed to help
employees recognize safety issues and take steps to
prevent accidents from occurring. In addition, EMA Resources employees have the
authority to stop operations if they think any aspect of the operation is going to cause
environmental or personal harm.
6. Spill Response Plan
a. In the unlikely event of a spill, the following action shall be taken immediately.
i. Management of Spill Clean-up Activities: The EMA Resources Project
Manager shall take immediate charge and initiate clean-up activities. EMA
Resources labor and equipment is to be utilized. In the event additional labor
and equipment is required, assistance may be requested from Davie County,
The NC Department of Transportation, and other private contractors, as
necessary.
ii. Halt the Source of the Spill: Such as a ruptured container or damaged transport
unit.
iii. Contain the Spill: Form a barrier. Sufficient quantities of straw shall be used
for such purposes. Earthen barriers may be constructed to augment the straw bale
containment areaꞏ of the spill. The Operations Manager or the person in charge
on the spill site will be advise the clean-up personnel where to get the straw,
lime, and other items necessary to complete the clean-up operation. le. local
farmers, farm supply centers, nurseries.
iv. Initial Clean-Up: Employ front-end loaders, vacuum equipment, sludge
application vehicles, and/or local septic tank service to remove as much of
the spilled material as possible. Straw and/or sand should be scattered in the
spill area to soak up the remaining material. The straw and sand-soaked
material will be collected and removed to a disposal area approved by
representatives of the state regulatory agency.
v. Final Clean-Up: Employ rotary brush sweeper if needed and apply lime to
the spill area upon the approval of the clean-up efforts by the state regulatory
representative. If the event occurs on private property, the clean-up will be
completed to the- satisfactory of the property owner and state regulatory
representatives. The ultimate goal will be restoring the spill area to its original
condition if possible.
vi. Notification: As soon as possible after the spill occurs, the EMA Resources
Project Manager or designee will notify the Davie County and the EMA
Resources main office. EMA Resources office staff are then responsible for
notifying other key EMA Resources personnel.
vii. Reporting: EMA Resources staff will notify the Winston Salem regional office
of the NCDENR by telephone (336) 776-9800 as soon as possible, but not
more than 24 hours after, or on the next working day following the occurrence.
The EMA Project Manager shall provide a written report with 48 hours of the
spill to the EMA Resources Director of Technical Services and Davie County
staff. The report shall list all relative information and actions taken. With the
assistance of EMA Resources personnel, and the Davie County personnel,
a written report will be filed with the Winston Salem regional office within
5 days of the occurrence. For after-hours reporting, the Division's emergency
number shall be called to report all incidences (800) 662- 7956.
7. Inspection Plan
a. Inspection for the land application of residuals will conducted on a minimum
of a weekly basis at the land application site during land application activities. The
inspection frequency is based on the time frame that it is going to take to complete the
project and the number of dry tons to be land applied from this facility. The
inspections will consist of inspecting a current field that is being applied as well as
inspecting random fields that have been completed. Inspections will be conducted by
David Ackley - Project Manager. These inspections will consist of the following:
i. Verifying the application rates for each field that plan on receiving
material.
ii. Checking the calculated loads to ensure the correct amount of residuals
are being land app lied.
iii. Ensure that all manned equipment has a copy of the permit and the
operation and maintenance plan.
iv. Ensure that the field has been flagged properly and that all buffers are being
adhered to.
v. Verify that the proper number of samples of the residuals have been taken and
that it meets the criteria for land application.
vi. The records will be kept in the EMA Resources project files in the main office.
Copies of all analyses and records will be forwarded to Davie County and
kept on file.
vii. EMA Resources and Davie County staff will immediately inform the other
part if any of the following conditions are noted.
1. Any occurrence with the distribution program resulting in the land
application of significant amounts of material that is abnormal in
quantity or characteristics.
2. Any failure of the distribution system that results in the release to
surface waters.
3. Any time that self-monitoring indicates that the facility has gone out
of compliance with the permit.
4. Any process failure that results in the system not adequately treating the
residuals.
5. Any spill or discharge from a vehicle or piping system during
residuals transportation.
6. Any release that requires immediate reporting outside normal business
hours shall be called in by EMA Resources staff to DENR at (800) 66
2-7956. This number is to be called in the event of a release to surface
waters or imminent failure of a storage system when the event occurs
outside of normal business hours.
8. Sampling and Monitoring Plan
a. Sampling for this project consists of sampling the residuals prior to land application
occurring to ensure that the residuals are suitable for land application.
b. The samples will be collected from the storage lagoon that holds the residuals.
c. David Ackley, Brent Collins, or other designee will be responsible for sample collection
for nutrient and metal, TCLP, and fecal coliform.
d. Nutrient, metal and TCLP sample aliquots will be collected randomly and consist
of at least 7 individual aliquots mixed together in order to get the composite sample
for these parameters.
e. The residuals will be sampled annually for TCLP including the RClls.
f. Metal and nutrient parameters will be collected and analyzed based on the requested
dry ton numbers in the permit application.
g. Residuals will be sampled for fecal coliform to demonstrate pathogen requirements have
been met. Seven separate samples will be collected and analyzed.
