Dear Mr. Smith:
In accordance with your application received August 14, 1992, we are forwarding herewith Permit
No. WQ0002617 as amended, dated March 29, 1993, to the Town of Stoneville for the continued
operation of a land application of sludge program. This permit amendment consists of adding

Please be advised of condition 1115 which states that no land application of the sludges included in
this permit shall commence unless the permittee can demonstrate the the process to significantly reduce
pathogens is met. The permittee shall maintain records which show that the sludges prior to land
application when conducted by agitating sludge with air or oxygen maintained aerobic conditions at
residence times ranging from 60 days at 150C to 40 days at 20aC or when conducted in the absence of air

Permit No. WQ0002617 issued February 7, 1990, and shall be subject to the following specified
conditions and limitations:
The Winston-Salem Regional Office, telephone number [phone], and the

be rescinded unless the sites are maintained and operated in a manner which will protect
the assigned water quality standards of the surface waters and ground waters.
3. The land application program shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -
discharge system to prevent the discharge of any wastes resulting from the operation of this
program.
