S & B Maintenance Residuals Land Application Program (D)
Land Application of Residual Solids (503)
Brunswick County
Dear Mr. Carteret:
In accordance with your permit modification application package received on January 6, 2003 as
well as the additional information received on April 25, 2003, we are forwarding herewith a modified
Permit No. WQ0000783, dated September 4, 2003, to S & B Maintenance, Inc. for the subject residuals
land application program.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until April 30, 2004; shall void Permit
No. WQ0000783, issued on January 7, 2000; and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as
specified therein. Make note of this permit's expiration date and the fact that a permit renewal
application is due to the Division of Water Quality (Division) no Iater than six months prior to that date
(i.e., see Condition V1. 7.), as the Division does not send reminders to apply for permit renewal.
This permit is being modified to approve residuals from several additional residuals source -
generating facilities for Iand application as well as to delete facilities which are either no longer served by
the Permittee or that have been decommissioned. Facilities that have been approved are as follows:

Note that Brunswick County's Northeast Brunswick County WWTP was not included in the
original permit modification application package. However, it has come to the Division's attention that
there was a misunderstanding in this regard and that this residuals source -generating facility is now in
desperate need of an approved residuals management option. Since Brunswick County's Clairmont
Shopping Center and Leland Industrial Park WWTPs were decommissioned as a result of the construction
and initiation of operation of the Northeast Brunswick WWTP, the Division has allocated the maximum
dry tons per year of residuals approved for land application from these decommissioned facilities to this
new one. The Division has allocated half of the maximum dry tons per year of residuals approved for
land application from Bald Head island Utilities, Inc.'s Village of Bald Head Island WWTP to this new
facility as well.
You will also note that the Division has completed much clean-up of this permit, converting
maximum allocations from gallons to dry tons per year, correcting facility names and facility owner
names, and referring to correct permit numbers. One of these corrections involves Brunswick County's
St. James Plantation WWTF. The residuals source -generating facility approved for construction and
operation under Permit No. WQ0012151 is the correct residuals source -generating facility (i.e., versus
Permit No. 90/014424, issued by the Brunswick County Health Department). This administrative change
has been made, as stated in the emergency approval issued by the Division on April 17, 2003 regarding
this same subject, but the allocated maximum dry tons per year of residuals approved for land application
remains the same with the exception of the addition of the other half of Bald Head Island Utilities, Inc.'s
Village of Bald Head Island WWTP previously -approved allocation.
As always, please remember to take the thne to review this permit thoroughly, as some of the
conditions contained therein may have been added, changed, or deleted since the last issuance. Pay
particular attention to the monitoring requirements in this permit. Failure to establish an adequate system
for collecting and maintaining the requited operational information will result in future compliance
problems. Of particular interest to you may be the following:
♦ The Division's database shows that Mr. T. Russell Lewis (i.e., versus Mr. Marcus Leonard) is
currently designated as the back-up operator in responsible charge (ORC) for this program.
Condition H. 2. requires that updated back-up ORC designation form be submitted to the
Division's Technical Assistance and Certification Unit within 30 calendar days of this
permit's issuance.
♦ Footnote a. of Attachment A requires that, since Iime stabilization is used as the method of
pathogen reduction and vector attraction reduction for all of the residuals source -generating
facilities treating domestic wastewater, records that demonstrate compliance with the
applicable pathogen reduction and vector attraction reduction alternatives be maintained for
each haul/land application event. Note that Brunswick County's Hood Creek (Northwest)
WTP is exempt from this requirement because the residuals are generated from the treatment
of potable water.
♦ Footnotes d. and e. of Attachment A require that the results of certain analyses be submitted
to the Division as soon as possible, but not more than 90 calendar days from the date of this
permit's issuance. Typically, the Division does require review of the analytical results before
land application of the residuals may occur; however, the Division has waived this
requirement in light of the fact that the need to remove residuals from two of the residuals
source -generating facilities on which this condition has been imposed is currently dire.
2

If any parts, requirements, and/or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have
the right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within 30 days following receipt of this
permit. This request shall be in the from of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North
Carolina General Statutes and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings at 6714 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714. Unless such demands are made, this permit shall be final
and binding.
Finally, the Division would like to provide a couple of notes of caution:
♦ It is the opinion of the Division that this program is a dedicated one. Specifically, the two
land application sites approved to receive residuals meet the definition in Regulation 15A
NCAC 2H :0203(11) in that residuals are being applied at rates or frequencies that are greater
than agronomically justifiable and that the sites are being used primarily for residuals
disposal. (i.e., crop production is of secondary importance). The facts that the program is
severely land -limited and the pH of the soil at the sites is so high that crop health is
compromised without the addition of a sulfur amendment are evidence of the dedicated
nature of this program. Note that the Division will be scrutinizing the overall success and
continued viability of your program during the review of the permit renewal/modification
application package that is proposed for submittal soon. Therefore, the Division urges you to
perform a self -audit of your program and plan accordingly so that such issues may be
addressed satisfactorily during the permit renewal/modification process.
♦ The Water Quality Section of the Division's Wilmington Regional Office reports that, during
the 2002 calendar year, you land applied more residuals than that which was approved under
this permit. Note that the dry tons per year listed in the Attachment A are intended to
represent the maximum volume of residuals (i.e., including amendment) that may be hauled
and land applied from the referenced residuals source -generating facility. If these values
need to be adjusted, the Division is willing to work with you on a correction to the
Attachment A or, alternatively, this issue may be resolved during the upcoming permit
renewal/modification process.
♦ As stated above, the Division is aware that you are preparing a permit renewal/modification
application package for submittal and review soon. In addition to resolving the land
limitation and residuals allocation issues, the Division respectfully requests that you
investigate the possibility of constructing and operating on-site treatment and/or storage
facilities. The Division believes that such facilities will improve the overall permit
compliance, operation of this program, as well as your ability to serve your clients in that you
can lime stabilize the residuals yourself, perform your own sampling/testing, as well as
haullstore during inclement weather and land apply when conditions allow it to occur. The
Division looks forward to discussing this recommendation with you at the meeting that has
been scheduled for Wednesday, September 10, 2003 at the Division's Wilmington Regional
Office.

If you need any additional information concerning this matter, please contact Mr. Duane Leith by
telephone at [phone], extension 370, or via e-mail at [e-mail] or Ms. Shannon
Mohr Thornburg by telephone at [phone], extension 353, or via e-mail at

10. Should any of the residuals generated by the residuals source -generating facilities listed in the
most recently -certified Attachment A of this permit contain a high salt content (i.e., high
sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) of five or higher), the exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP)
or other method as approved by the Division, using the results from the annual soils analysis
as required by this permit, shall be monitored on all of the land application sites. The Iocal
Cooperative Extension Office, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the
Natural Resource Conservation Service, a North Carolina -licensed Soil Scientist, or other
agronomist shall review the results and make recommendations regarding soil amendments
(e.g., gypsum, etc.) or other ameliorative mechanism for .maintaining the integrity of the site in
terms of suitability for Iand application of residuals and maintaining conditions conducive to
crop growth. The Permittee shall implement such recommendations accordingly and shall
maintain written records of each monitoring event that includes details of the sites covered
and rate of soil amendment application.
11. Prior to land applying residuals to any land application site that has previously received or is
intended to receive animal waste (e.g., poultry litter, etc.) or other source of nutrients (e.g.,
fertilizer, etc.) in the future, the Permittee shall obtain information pertaining to the volume
and analysis of the applied waste/nutrients from the landowner and/or lesseekperator of the
site. The Permittee shall be responsible for verifying the volume of residuals that may be land
applied to the site such that the plant available nitrogen (PAN) Ioading rate for the specified
crop (i.e., see Condition H. 13.) shall not be exceeded by all of the sources of PAN applied.
Should the maximum PAN loading rate be met or exceeded, then no additional residuals shall
be land applied to the site.
12. A suitable vegetative cover, as listed in Condition U. 13., shall be maintained on land
application sites onto which residuals are land applied in accordance with the crop
management plan outlined by the local Cooperative Extension Office, the Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, or other
agronomist and as approved by the Division.
5

13. Residuals and other sources of PAN shall be land applied to all land application sites at
agronomic rates in accordance with the crop management plan outlined by. the local
Cooperative Extension Office, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer
Services, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, or other agronomist. Under no
circumstances shall the following PAN loading rates Iand applied to any site exceed the
following for the specified crops:
The Permittee shall apply for and receive a modification of this permit before land applying
residuals on any land application site that is to be established in a crop other than those listed
above. A maximum PAN loading rate for the desired crop shall be approved with the permit
modification.
If the land application sites are to be overseeded (e.g., bermuda grass in the summer and rye
grass in the winter with BOTH crops to receive residuals), then the second crop shall receive
an application of PAN at a rate of no greater than 50 pounds per acre per year. This practice
shall be allowed as long as the second crop is to be harvested. If the second crop is to be
planted for erosion control only and is to be tilled into the soil, then no residuals shall be land
applied to these sites because the PAN will essentially be returned to the soil.
Residuals shall not be land applied at rates greater than agronomic rates, unless authorized by
the Division.
14. Animals shall not be grazed on any land application site for 30 days after any residuals land
application event. Sites that are to be used for grazing shall have fencing that will be used to
prevent access after each event.
15. Food crops, feed crops, and fiber crops that do not come in contact with the residuals skull not
be harvested for 30 days after any residuals land application event.
16. Food crops with harvested parts that touch the residual/soil mixture and are totally above the
land surface (e.g., tobacco, melons, cucumbers, squash, etc.) shall not be harvested for 14
months after any residuals land application event.

residuals on any land application site that is to be established in a crop other than those listed
above. A maximum PAN loading rate for the desired crop shall be approved with the permit
modification.
If the land application sites are to be overseeded (e.g., bermuda grass in the summer and rye
grass in the winter with BOTH crops to receive residuals), then the second crop shall receive
an application of PAN at a rate of no greater than 50 pounds per acre per year. This practice
shall be allowed as long as the second crop is to be harvested. If the second crop is to be

17. Food crops with harvested parts below the surface of the land (i.e., root crops such as potatoes,
carrots, radishes, etc.) shall not be harvested for 20 months after any residuals land application
event when the residuals remain on the land surface for four months or longer prior to
incorporation into the soil.
18. Food crops with harvested parts below the surface of the land shall not be harvested for 38
months after any residuals land application event when the residuals remain on the land
surface for less than four months prior to incorporation into the soil.
19. Turf shall not be harvested for one year after any residuals land application event.
20. Adequate provisions shall be taken to prevent wind erosion and surface runoff from conveying
residuals from the land application sites onto adjacent properties or into any surface waters.
21. Adequate procedures shall be provided to prevent surface runoff from carrying any land
applied or stored residuals into any surface waters.
22. Surface -applied residuals shall be plowed or disced within 24 hours after land application on
land application sites with no cover crop established.
23. For land application sites that are prone to flooding or within the 100 -year flood elevation,
residuals shall be land applied only during periods of dry weather. The residuals shall be
incorporated into the soil within 24 hours after land application.
24. Residuals shall not be land applied during inclement weather or until 24 hours following a
rainfall event of 0.5 -inch or greater in 24 hours. Any emergency residuals land application
measures shall first be approved in writing by the Division.
25. Residuals shall not be land applied to any land application site that is flooded, frozen, or
snow-covered.
26. Appropriate measures shall be taken to control public access to the land application sites
during active site use and for the 12 -month period following the last residuals land application
event. Such controls may include the posting of signs indicating the activities being
conducted at each site.
III. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
1. Any monitoring (i.e., including groundwater, surface water, residuals, soil, or plant tissue
analyses) deemed necessary by the Division to ensure protection of the environment shall be
established, and an acceptable sampling and reporting schedule shall be followed.

monitored for two years at the frequency specified in the most recently -certified Attachment A
of this permit, the Permittee may submit a request to the Division for a permit modification to
reduce the frequency of this monitoring requirement. In no case, however, shall the frequency
of this monitoring be less than once per year when a residuals land application event of
residuals generated by the residuals source -generating facility occurs during that year.
4. Residuals generated by each residuals source -generating facility listed in the most recently -
certified Attachment A of this permit shall be monitored for compliance with Condition 1. 7.
The monitoring shall be performed at the frequency specified in the most recently -certified
Attachment A of this permit, and data to verify pathogen and vector attraction reduction of the
residuals shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for a minimum of five years. The
required data shall be specific to the stabilization process utilized, but also shall be sufficient
to demonstrate clear compliance with the Class A pathogen reduction requirements in 40 CFR
Part 503.32(a) or the Class B pathogen reduction requirements and site restrictions in 40 CFR
Part 503.32(b) as well as one of vector attraction reduction requirements in 40 CFR Part
503.33. In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certification statements
concerning compliance with pathogen reduction requirements, vector attraction reduction
requirements, and management practices shall be completed at the frequency listed in the
most -recently certified Attachment A by the proper authority or authorities, if more than one
is involved (i.e., either the person who prepares the residuals, the person who derives the
material, or the person who applies the residuals). Only residuals that are generated by the
residuals source -generating facilities that are identified as being exempt from Condition 1. 7.
in the most recently -certified Attachment A of this permit shall not be required to comply with
this monitoring requirement.
5. Laboratory analyses as required by Condition 111. 2., Condition Ill. 3., and Condition III. 4.
shall be perfornzed/gathered on the residuals as they are to be land applied. Furthermore,
analytical determinations made pursuant to the monitoring and reporting requirements of this
permit shall be made by a laboratory certified by the Division for the required parameter(s)
under 15A NCAC 2H.0800 or 15A NCAC 2H. 1100.

k. Annual and cumulative totals of dry tons per acre of residuals as well as animal waste and
other sources of nutrients (i.e., if applicable), annual and cumulative pounds per acre of
each heavy metal (i.e., shall include, but shall not be limited to, arsenic, cadmium, copper,
Iead, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, and zinc), annual pounds per acre of PAN,
and annual pounds per acre of phosphorus applied to each field.
7. A representative annual soils analysis (i.e., Standard Soil Fertility Analysis) shall be
conducted on each land application site on which a residuals land application event in the
respective calendar year has occurred or is to occur, and the results shall be maintained on file
by the Permittee for a minimum of five years. The Standard Soil Fertility Analysis shall
include, but is not necessarily limited to, the following paraineters:

9. Noncompliance Notification:
The Permittee shall report by telephone to the Water Quality Section of the Division's
Wilmington Regional Office at telephone number [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 residuals land application program that results in the land
application of significant amounts of residuals that are abnormal in quantity or
characteristic.
b. Any failure of the residuals land application program resulting in a release of material to
receiving waters.
c. Any time that self-monitoring information indicates that the residuals land application
program has gone out of compliance with the conditions and limitations of this permit or
the parameters on which the program system was designed.
d. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that render the residuals land
application program incapable of adequate residuals treatment.
e. Any spillage or discharge froze a vehicle or piping system transporting residuals to the
application site.
Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in letter form
within five days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report shall outline the
actions taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem does not recur.
IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
1. Land Application Site Requirements:
a. Each land application site identified with a GW -A in the most recently -certified
Attachment B of this permit is dominated by soils with a mean seasonal high water table
greater than three feet below the land surface. Residuals land application events may
occur on these sites throughout the year.
b. Each land application site identified with a GW -B in the most recently -certified
Attachment B of this permit is dominated by soils with a mean seasonal high water table
between one and three feet below the land surface. Residual land application events on
these sites shall be prohibited from December through March, inclusive. No residuals
shall be land applied to these sites when the vertical separation between the depth of
residuals land application and the water table is less than three feet. The actual water
table depth for seasonally -restricted soils shall be verified by soil borings within 24 hours
prior to any residuals land application event that occurs from April through November,
inclusive. The number of borings advanced shall be sufficient to characterize water table
conditions across the land application site adequately. Any open borings shall be properly
filled with native soil, prior to the residuals land application event, to decrease the chance
of any residuals contaminating the groundwater.
11

2. Applicable Boundary Requirements:
a. The COMPLL4NCE BOUNDARY for residuals land application programs is specified by
regulations in 15A NCAC 2L (i.e., "Groundwater Classifications and Standards"). The
Compliance Boundary for each laud application site is established at either 250 feet from
the residuals land application area or 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is
closest to the residuals land application area. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality
Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to immediate remediation
action according to 15A NCAC 2L.0106 (d)(2).
b. The REVIEW BOUNDARY shall be established around each land application site
midway between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the residuals land
application area. Any exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at the Review
Boundary shall require action in accordance with 15A NCAC 2L .0106 (d)(2).
3. Additional Requirements:
a. Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division., shall be
provided.
V. .INSPECTIONS
1. Prior to each residuals land application event, the Permittee or his designee shall inspect the
residuals storage, transport, and application facilities to prevent malfunctions and
deterioration, operator errors, and discharges that may cause or lead to the release of wastes to
the environment, a threat to human health, or a nuisance. The Permittee shall maintain 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 five years from the date of the
inspection and shall be made available to the Division or other permitting authority, upon
request.
2. Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the Division may, upon
presentation of credentials, enter and inspect any property, premises, or place on or related to
the land application sites or facilities at any reasonable time for the purpose of determining
compliance with this permit; may inspect or copy any records that must be kept under the
terms and conditions of this permit; and may obtain samples of groundwater, surface water, or
Ieachate.
VI. GENERAL CONDITIONS
This permit shall become voidable unless the residuals land application events are carried out
in accordance with the conditions of this permit, the supporting materials, and in the manner
approved by the Division.
2. This permit shall be effective only with respect to the nature and volume of residuals described
in the application and other supporting data.
3. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this permit may subject the
Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division in accordance with North Carolina General
Statutes § 143-215.6A through § 143-215.6C.
12

4. The annual administering and compliance fee shall be paid by the Permittee within 30 days
after being billed by the Division. Failure to pay the fee accordingly may cause the Division
to initiate action to revoke this permit, as specified by 15 NCAC 2H.0205 (c)(4).
5. The issuance of this permit does not preclude the Permittee from complying with any and all
statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies
(i.e., local, state, and federal) which have jurisdiction, including, but not limited to, applicable
river buffer rules in 15A NCAC 2B .0200, soil erosion and sedimentation control requirements
in 15A NCAC Chapter 4 and under the Division's General Permit NCG010000, and any
requirements pertaining to wetlands under 15A NCAC 2B .0200 and 15A NCAC .0500.
6. This permit may be modified, revoked, and/or reissued to incorporate any conditions,
limitations and monitoring requirements the Division deems necessary in order to protect the
environment and public health adequately.
7. The Permittee, at least six months prior to the expiration of this permit, shall request its
extension. Upon receipt of the request, the Division shall review the adequacy of the facilities
and residuals land application program described therein, and if warranted, shall extend the
permit for such period of time and under such conditions and limitations as it may deem
appropriate.
8. This permit shall not be automatically transferable. In the event that there is a desire for the
residuals land application program to change ownership or to change the name of the
Permittee, a formal permit request shall be submitted to the Division documentation from the
parties involved and other supporting :materials as may be appropriate. The approval of this
request shall be considered on its merits and may or may not be approved.
