Carolina as amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION 1S HEREBY GRANTED TO - - -u
Mr. Eugene Gearren
FOR THE
operation of a contaminated soils remediation system consisting of disposing of approximately
400 cubic yards of gasoline and diesel contaminated soil from the excavation of tanks on the
Gearren property, at 2716 Stratford Road, onto two small land farming sites totaling 22,000
square feet of disposal area located on the same Gearren property, with the first 270 cubic yards to
be remediated on these two sites while the remaining cubic yards are stored on and under plastic
and applied to the same application sites once the first yardage is fully remediated, with no
discharge of wastes to the surface waters, pursuant to the application received March 15, 1991
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 permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until .lune 30, 1996, and shall be subject
to the following specified conditions and limitations:
1. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. The Winston-Salem Regional Office, phone no. 919/ 896-7007, 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wastes and may be rescinded unless the facilities are installed, maintained, and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.
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 Geaxren tank excavation at 2716
Stratford Road shall be placed on the land disposal site.
II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. 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. Once the facility is classified,
the Permittee must submit a letter to the Certification Commission which designates
the operator in responsible charge within thirty days after the remediation facilities
are 50% complete.
3. Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent surface runoff from carrying any
disposed material into any surface waters.
4. The 270 cubic yards of contaminated soil to applied initially shall be spread to a
thickness not to exceed 4-0 inches on at least 22,000 square feet of land area at the
proposed site. Upon remediation of the first application, the next 130 cubic yards
of contaminated soil shall be spread to a thickness of 2.0 inches over the 22,000
square foot land area.
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.
2

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).
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 REQUIREMENT
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 Winston-Salem Regional Office
telephone no. 919/ 896-7007, 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.
e. Any spillage or discharge from a vehicle or piping system transporting
contaminated soil to the application site.
