500 cubic yards of unleaded gasoline contaminated soil from Yellow Freight System, Inc.'s Charlotte
Terminal to a 20,41.2 square foot disposal area located at Yellow Freight System, Inc.'s Charlotte Terminal
in three application events (two of 181 cubic yards and one of 138 cubic yards) with no discharge of
wastes to the surface waters, pursuant to the application received November 21, 1990 and in confon-mry
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 permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until May 31, 1996, 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 5:00 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may be rescinded unless the facilities are installed, maintained, and operated in a manner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.
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.

S. 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
C) 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 Yellow Freight System, Inc.'s Charlotte
Terminal shall be placed on the land disposal site.
11. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. Upon classification of the facility by the Certification Commission, 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 type and 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 500 cubic yards of contaminated soil shall be spread, in three application events of not
greater than 181 cubic yards of contaminated soil each, to a thickness not to exceed four
inches on at least 0.47 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 prior to disposal of the
contaminated soil. The contaminated soil 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.
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.
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 15 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).
2

b) For phosphorus, the tolerance level of the vegetative crop, as determined by a
knowledgeable party, or 50-75 pounds per acre P205 (or equivalent).
10. All foreign debris shall be removed from the petroleum contaminated soil prior to land
application and at no time shall foreign debris be land applied with the petroleum
contaminated soils.
III. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQIJTREMENTS
1: 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. 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.
d. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that render the facility
incapable of adequate sludge treatment. r
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. GROJINDWATER REQUIREMENTS,
1. Any groundwater quality monitoring as deemed necessary by the Division of
Environmental Management shall be provided.
2. 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 the final disposal event. Intermediate
samples shall be collected between each disposal event. The results of the analysis of these
samples shall be submitted to the Mooresville Regional Office. Subsequent disposal events
may not take place until the intermediate soil analysis indicates that the TPH concentration
is below 10 PPM and the permittee has received written approval from the Mooresville
Regional Supervisor.

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 to
determine the concentration of (1) Petroleum Fuel Hydrocarbons (Method 3550) and (2)
any Volatile Organic Aromatic (VOA) 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.
3. No land application of waste activities shall be undertaken when the seasonal high water
table is less than three feet below land surface.
4. Prior to beginning waste disposal operations, three (3) monitor wells, one (1) upgradient
and two (2) downgradient, shall be installed to monitor groundwater quality. The well(s)
shall be constructed such that the water level in the well is never above or below the
screened (open) portion of the well at any time during the year. However, the exact
location and construction details for these wells shall be approved by the Mooresville
Regional Office, from which a well construction permit must be obtained.
5. The monitoring wells shall be sampled initially after construction (and prior to waste
disposal operations) and thereafter every February, rune, and October for the following
parameters:
TDS (500.0) TQC
Water Level Total Suspended Solids
Volatile Organic Compounds using EPA Methods 602 and 625
The numbers in parentheses represent the maximum allowable concentrations in
groundwater for the various analytical parameters, as specified in 15 NCAC 2L
[Groundwater Classifications and Standards]. Unless otherwise specified, the units for
these concentrations are expressed as milligrams per liter.
The measurement of water level must be made prior to sampling for the remaining
parameters.
The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to
provide relative elevations of the measuring point for each of the monitoring wells. The
depth of water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on the top of the
casing.
If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/l are detected in any downgradient monitoring
well, additional sampling and analysis must be conducted to identify the individual
constituents comprising this TOC concentration. If the TOC concentration as measured in
the background monitor well exceeds 10 mg/1, this concentration will be taken to represent
the naturally occurring TOC concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring
TOC concentration in the downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling
and analysis as described above.
The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent to the N.C. Division of
Environmental Management on Form GW -59 (Compliance Monitoring Report Form) every
March, July, and November.

6. The Compliance Boundary delineated on the attached site map for the disposal system is
specified by regulations in 15A NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards.
An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards beyond the Compliance Boundary is
subject to the penalty provisions applicable under General Statute 143-215.6(1)x. The sale
of property, by the Permittee, which is within or contiguous to the disposal site. may alter
the location of the Compliance Boundary.
For facilities permitted on or after December 30, 1983, the Compliance Boundary is
established at the lesser of 250 feet from the waste disposal area, or 50 feet within the
property boundary.
If the title to any property which may affect the location of the Compliance Boundary is
changed, the Permittee shall notify the DEM Director within 14 days. The Director shall
then establish a modified Compliance Boundary which will be done as a modification to the
Permit.
The REVIEW BOUNDARY delineated on the attached site map for the disposal system is
specified by regulations in 15 NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. A
REVIEW BOUNDARY is established around disposal systems midway between the
Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the waste disposal area. When the
concentration of any substance equals or exceeds the maximum allowable concentration of
that substance at the REVIEW BOUNDARY, as determined by monitoring, the permittee
shall either (i) demonstrate, through predictive calculations or modeling, that natural site
conditions, facility design and operational controls will prevent a violation of standards at
the Compliance Boundary; or, (ii) submit a plan for the alteration of existing site
conditions, facility design or operational controls that will prevent a violation of standards
at the Compliance Boundary, and implement that plan upon its approval by the Director.
V. INTSPECTIQNS
1. Adequate inspection, maintenance, and cleaning shall be provided by the Permittee to
insure proper operation of the subject facilities.
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 Permittee 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 date of the inspection and shall be made
available upon request to the Division of Environmental Management or other permitting
authority.
