Dear Mr. Weber:
Alan W- Kiimek, P.E., Director
Division of Water Quality
Subject: Permit No. WQ0000760 Correction
PPG Industries Fiber Glass Products, Inc.
Lexington, NC Fiber Glass Products Plant
Residuals Land Application Program
Land Application of Residual Solids (503 Exempt)
Davidson County
In accordance with a facsimile request from Ms. Rhonda Money of Synagro South, Inc. received
by Mr. Daryl Merritt of the Division of Water Quality's (Division) Non -Discharge
Compliance/Enforcement Unit on April 17, 2003, we are forwarding herewith a corrected Page 9 of
Permit No. WQ0000760, issued on October 25, 2002, for the subject residuals land application program.
The following correction has been made to the permit:
I. Condition Ill. 6. lists items regarding residuals land application activities that the Permittee
must track and report to the Division on an annual basis. Paragraph k. of this condition
requires that the Permittee record totals of residuals, nutrients, and metals that are applied to
each land application site on an annual and cumulative basis. The language has been
corrected to reflect the fact that the Permittee only has to track the application of metals for
which the residuals are required to be analyzed (i.e., cadmium, copper. lead, nickel, and
zinc). Note that tracking of arsenic, mercury, molybdenum and selenium loading on each
land application site is not required, since the residuals are not required to be analyzed for
these metal parameters.
The Division apologizes for any confusion that this error might have caused, and we
appreciate your and Ms. Money's diligence in reviewing this permit thoroughly and calling
these issues to our attention. The discovery of this error is very important to the Division, as
it has prompted us to correct the template from which all permits for non -dedicated residuals
land application program that are not regulated under 40 CFR Part 503 are developed.
Please replace Page 9 with this corrected Page 9 into Permit No. WQ0000760, issued on
October 25, 2002.
