Dear Mr. Rose:
In accordance with a permit renewal application package received on July 31, 2001 from Piece
Dye Acquisition Corporation; a request to change ownership received on September 16, 2002 from you;
as well as additional information received on September 17, 2004, we are forwarding herewith a renewed
Permit No- WQ0000800, dated March 18, 2005, to Edenton Dyeing and Finishing, LLC for the subject
residuals land application program.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until February 28, 2010; shall void Permit
No. WQ0000800 issued on February 5, 1998 to Piece Dye Acquisition Corporation; 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 later than six
months prior to that date (i.e., see Condition VI. 7.), as the Division does not send reminders to apply for
permit renewal.
This permit approves the continued operation of the residuals land application program for
another five-year cycle. This permit includes a change in total permitted residual volume to 294.50 dry
tons per year (see Attachment A) and a change in acreage associated with each land application site with a
total of 55.76 acres (see Attachment B). As always, remember to take the time 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 required operational information will
result in future compliance problems. Of particular interest to you may be the following:
♦ Groundwater requirements have been modified to require placement of monitoring well
identification plates complete with identification information (Condition V1.2), inclusion of
additional parameter for monitoring (Condition IV.3.a), and submittal of updated site maps
(Condition 1V.3.c).

♦ It is the understanding of this Division that the laboratory which was retained by the
Permitteee in the past to perform the analyses of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) was
not a Division certified laboratory. Please be advised that Condition IV.3.d requires any
laboratory selected to analyze various parameters including VOCs must be Division certified
for the parameters required.
♦ Please note that the net area available for land application may not be sufficient to utilize all
the nitrogen produced at this facility, if the most restrictive crop (cotton) is grown on all the
sites. Therefore, there is a potential for additional land requirement and/or proper crop
management with respect to the selection of crop species on the available land.
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.

An acceptable pH shall be maintained in the soil, greater than 6.0, on all land application sites
onto which residuals are land applied to ensure optimum yield for the crops specified in
Condition IL 13. The agronomist shall provide information on the pH best suited for the
specified crop and the soil type.
10. Should any of the residuals to be land applied contain a high salt content (i.e., high sodium
adsorption ratio (SA.R.) 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 local
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 land 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. 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) loading rate for the specified
crop (i.e., see Condition II. 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 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.
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 land 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.

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 shall not
be harvested for 30 days after any residuals land application event.

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.
Disking, seeding and other tillage operations on the land application sites shall be performed
following the land contours to aid in controlling channeling of storm water.
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

shall be conducted on residuals to be land applied. The analyses shall be performed at the
frequency specified in the most recently -certified Attachment A of this permit, and the results
shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for a minimum of five years. If residuals
generated by a particular residuals source -generating facility are land applied at a frequency
less than that which is specified in the most recently -certified Attachment A of this permit, the
analyses shall be required for each residuals land application event. Only residuals that are
generated by the residuals source -generating facilities that are identified as being exempt from
this condition in the most recently -certified Attachment A of this permit shall not be required
to comply with this monitoring requirement.

monitored for two years at a frequency greater than annually, 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. Laboratory analyses as required by Condition III. 2. and Condition 1TI. 3. shall be
performed/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

8. Noncompliance Notification:
The Permittee shall report by telephone to the Aquifer Protection Section of the Division's
Washington Regional Office at telephone number (336) 7714600, 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 ]and
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 from 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
Land Application Site Re uirements:
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.
2. Well Construction/Abandonment Criteria:
a. If not already performed as required under 15A NCAC 2C .0108 (c) (11), the six existing
monitor wells shall have identification plates constructed of a durable material securely
affixed which contain the following information:
(i) drilling contractor, or pump installation contractor, name and applicable
certification or registration numbers;
(ii) date well completed;
(iii) total depth of well:
(iv) a warning that the well is not for water supply and that the groundwater
may contain hazardous materials, and
(v) depth(s) to the top(s) and bottom(s) of the screcn(s).
3. Sam lin Criteria:
a. Monitor wells Site No. I MW -1, Site No. 1 MW -2, Site No. 1 NIW-3, Site No. 2 MW -1,
Site No. 2 MW -2, and Site No. 2 MW -3 shall be sampled every March, July, and
November for the parameters listed below. Prior to sampling the parameters, the
measurement of water levels must be taken. The depth to water in each well shall be
measured from the surveyed point on the top of the casing. The measuring points (top of
well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed relative to a common datum.
Total Ammonia Total Organic Carbon
pH Nitrate Nitrogen (NO3-N)
Water level Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) Total Phosphorus
Sulfates (SO4) Chlorides
Volatile Organic Compounds — in November Only
Z

b. For Total Organic Carbon (TOC), if concentrations greater than 10 mg/l are detected in
any down -gradient 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/l, this
concentration will be taken to represent the naturally occurring TOC concentration. Any
exceedances of this naturally occurring TOC concentration in the down -gradient wells
shall be subject to the additional sampling and analysis as described above.
c. For Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) sampled in November, use only one of the
following methods.
(i) Standard Method 623 OD, PQL at 0.5 ug/L or less
(ii) Standard Method 621 OD, PQL at 0.5 ug/L or less
(iii) EPA Method 8021, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 ug/L or less
(iv) EPA Method 8260, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 ug/L or less
(v) Another method with prior approval by the Aquifer Protection Section.
Any method used must meet the following qualifications:
(i) The method used must, at a minimum, include all the constituents listed in
Table VIII of Standard Method 6230D.
(ii) The method used must provide a PQL at 0.5 ug/L or less which must be
supported by laboratory proficiency studies as required by the DWQ
Laboratory Certification Unit. Any constituents detected above the MDL
but below the PQL at 0.5 ug/L must be qualified (estimated) and reported.
If any volatile organic compounds are detected by the methods listed, then the Aquifer
Protection Section of the Washington Regional Office must be contacted immediately by
phone at [phone] for further instructions regarding any additional follow-up
analyses required. The results of all initial and follow-up analyses must be submitted
simultaneously.
d. Any Iaboratory selected to analyze parameters must be Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
certified for those parameters required.
4. Reporting /Documentation:
a. All reports and documentation (GW -59) shall be mailed to the following address:
NCDENR-DWQ
Information Processing Unit
1617 Mail Service Center
