WQ0018007) for the Town of Broadway. The purpose of this inspection was to ensure compliance with the subject permit. During the inspection, the cooperation and assistance of W. Craig Buchanan and Jacob Melvin was helpful and appreciated. Note: Dustin Kornegay is listed as Town Manager in DWR records. Please contact DWR Central Office to update this information. This compliance evaluation inspection consisted of the following: •Review of the permit •Review of the owner/facility information •Review of ORC logbooks •On-site inspection of treatment components and application fields The current permit was issued effective August 1, 2019 and expires on December 31, 2024. The Town of Broadway Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) is permitted for the operation of a residuals management program consisting of the land application of a maximum of 40 dry tons of Class B residuals generated by the approved facilities listed in Attachment A of the permit (Broadway WWTP) to the approved fields listed in Attachment B of the permit with no discharge of wastes to surface waters. The inspection of the WWTP included the drying beds and residuals storage area. The following conditions were noted during the inspection: 1.According to the 2022 Residuals Annual Report, the total amount of residuals applied to the permitted fields during 2022 was equal to approximately 5.36 dry tons. This was applied to approximately 4.2 acres, resulting in approximately 1.3 dry tons per acre. The annual report includes the Standard Soil Fertility Analysis for the field where residuals were applied in 2022. The current permit includes 5 fields available for application listed in Attachment B. The Town of Broadway hauls and applies all the WWTP residuals generated under this permit. 2.The 2022 annual report submitted by Branch Residuals & Soils, LLC on behalf of the Town of Broadway indicates annual sampling and analysis for metals and nutrients with results reported in mg/kg as required. The non-hazardous determination, including TCLP analysis, is required once during the permit cycle. •Permit condition IV. 2. states “Residuals shall be analyzed to demonstrate they are non-hazardous under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Residuals that tests or is classified as a hazardous or toxic waste under 40 CFR Part 261 shall not be land applied. The analyses [i.e., corrosivity, ignitability, reactivity, and toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP)] shall be performed at the frequency specified in Attachment A.” 3.The annual report submitted by Branch Residuals & Soils, LLC on behalf of the Town of Broadway indicates the Class B pathogen reduction method used was air drying and was conducted as required by the permit. Incorporation was used for vector attraction reduction and was conducted as required by the permit. The review of the analytical data and report indicated compliance with all permit limits. •Permit condition IV. 4. states “Residuals shall be monitored for compliance with pathogen and vector attraction reduction requirements at the frequency specified in Attachment A.” 4.The drying beds and storage area appeared to be well maintained. 5.No land application activities were occurring during the inspection. Application fields where residuals were applied during the previous year were visited. All the fields had good vegetative cover. 6.The 2023 Residuals Annual Report was received on time per permit requirement. The report was not available for review Page 2 of 6 Inspection Date: Permit: Inspection Type : Owner - Facility: Reason for Visit: WQ0018007 03/01/2024 Compliance Evaluation Town of Broadway Routine at the writing of this letter.
