PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
MARTIN MARIETTA AGGREGATES
Rowan County
FOR THE
operation of a contaminated soils disposal system consisting of disposing of approximately 356
cubic yards of contaminated soil from the rinse water collection pond to a 41,000 square foot
disposal area located at Martin Marietta Aggregate's Salisbury Equipment Shop with no discharge
of wastes to the surface waters, pursuant to the application received May 29, 1990 and in
conformity with the project plan, specifications, and other supporting data subsequently filed and
approved by the Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources and considered a part
of this pemnt.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until July 31, 1995, and shall be subject
to the following specified conditions and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. The Mooresville Regional Office, phone no. [phone], shall be notified at
least twenty-four (24) hours after land application of the contaminated soil so that
an inspection can be made. Such notification to the regional supervisor shall be
made during the normal office hours from 8:00 a.m, until 5:40 p.m. on Monday
through Friday, excluding State Holidays.
2. This permit shall become voidable if the soils fail to adequately assimilate the
wastes and may be rescinded unless the facilities are installed, maintained, and
operated in a manner which will protect the assigned water quality standards of the
surface waters and ground waters.
3. In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of
nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including
those as may be required by this Division, such as the construction of additional or
replacement treatment or disposal facilities.
4. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for
damages to surface or groundwaters resulting from the operation of this facility.

5 . The following buffers shall be maintained:
a) 100 feet between disposal area and any public or private water supply including
wells
b) 100 feet between disposal area and "SA and SB" classified surface waters
c) 50 feet between disposal area and any stream, lake, river or natural drainageway
d) 50 feet between disposal area and property lines
e) 10 feet between disposal area and surface water interceptor drains or diversions
(upslope)
f) 25 feet between disposal area and surface water interceptor drains or diversions
(downslope) and groundwater drainage systems.
6. No contaminated soil other than that from the rinse water pond shall be placed on
the land disposal site.
7. This permit shall become voidable if the agreement between Martin Marietta
Aggregates and the City of Salisbury for the final disposal of the wastewater from
the rinse water pond is in full force and effect.
8. The wastewater collected from the rinse water pond shall be treated in the City of
Salisbury wastewater treatment facility.
IL OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. The Permittee shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator to be in
responsible charge of the wastewater treatment facilities. The operator must hold a
certificate of the grade at least equivalent to the classification assigned to the
wastewater treatment facilities by the Certification Commission.
3. Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent surface runoff from carrying any
disposed material into any surface waters.
4. The 356 cubic yards of contaminated soil shall be spread to a thickness not to
exceed 3 inches on at least 09 acres of land at the disposal site.
5. The facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system
to prevent the discharge of any wastewater resulting from the operation of this
facility.
6. The site shall be adequately limed to a soil pH of at least 6.5 and fertilized prior to
disposal of the contaminated soil. The contaminated soil, fertilizer and lime shall be
thoroughly incorporated into the top six to eight inches of the native soils by tilling
or disking.
7. To ensure that sufficient oxygen is provided for waste biodegradation, the site shall
be retilled at periods of one month, two months, and every six months thereafter
following disposal. If an aerator is to be used then the site should be reaerated
every 10 days to 2 weeks.
8. No food -chain crops shall be grown on the landfarming sites for at least two years
following the completion of contaminated soil application and remediation.
N

9. Nutrients, in the form of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers, must be applied over
the disposal area and fully incorporated into the mixed contaminated and native soil
layer. To provide maximum benefits, fertilization should occur no sooner than 5
days nor later than 30 days subsequent to disposal.
Rate of fertilizer application should be the lesser of the following:
a) For nitrogen, the tolerance level of the vegetative crop, as determined by a
knowledgeable party, or 75-100 pounds per acre plant available nitrogen
(PAN).
b) For phosphorus, the tolerance level of the vegetative crop, as determined by a
knowledgeable party, or 50-75 pounds per acre P2O5 (or equivalent).
10. All contaminated soil removed form the rinse water pond shall be adequately
dewatered such that runoff does not occur when the contaminated soil is land
applied.
III. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
I . Any monitoring deemed necessary by the Division of Environmental Management
to insure surface and ground water protection will be established and an acceptable
sampling reporting schedule shall be followed.
2. The permittee shall keep a record of the disposal of the rinse water pond wastewater
which include the following:
a) Date wastewater is removed for the rinse water pond,
b) Name of the facility receiving the rinse water pond wastewater, and
c) Volume of wastewater removed from the rinse water pond daily.
3. Noncompliance Notification:
The Permittee shall report by telephone to the Mooresville, Regional Office
telephone no. [phone], as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24
hours or on the next working day following the occurrence or first knowledge of
the occurrence of any of the following:
a. Any occurrence with the land application program which results in the land
application of significant amounts of wastes which are abnormal in quantity or
characteristic.
b. Any failure of the land application program resulting in a discharge of wastes to
receiving waters.
c. Any time that self-monitoring information indicates that the facility is not in
compliance with the conditions and limitations of this permit or the parameters
on which the system was designed.

facility incapable of adequate sludge treatment.
e. Any spillage or discharge from a vehicle or piping system transporting
contaminated soil to the application site.

Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in
letter form within 15 days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report
must outline the actions taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem
does not recur.
IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
1. Soil samples will be collected, from a minimum of two (2) areas at the disposal site,
at intervals of six months and twelve months following disposal.
Each sample will be composed of the vertical column of soil, extending from land
surfaces to the maximum depth of waste incorporation, and collected by using a soil
auger, Shelby tube or split -spoon sampler.
Samples at each location will be thoroughly mixed and a representative portion
analyzed, (by methods specified in Guidelines For Remediation Of Soil
Contaminated by Petroleum available form the Division of Environmental
Management) to determine the concentration of (1) Petroleum Fuel Hydrocarbons
(Method 3550) and (2) any Volatile Organic Aromatic (BOA) compounds present.
A copy of the laboratory results of the soil analysis will be submitted to the
Mooresville Regional Office, to the attention of the Regional Hydrogeological
Supervisor, within 30 days of sample collection.
2. No land application of waste activities shall be undertaken when the seasonal high
water table is less than three (3) feet below the land surface.
V. INSPECTIONS
1. Adequate inspection, maintenance, and cleaning shall be provided by the Permittee
to insure proper operation of the subject facilities.
2. The Permittee or designee shall inspect the contaminated soil area to prevent any
discharges which may cause or lead to the release of wastes to the environment, a
threat to human health, or a nuisance. The Pemlittee shall keep an inspection log or
summary including at least the date and time of inspection, observations made, and
any maintenance, repairs, or corrective actions taken by the Permittee. This log of
inspections shall be maintained by the Permittee for a period of three years from the
