I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
This permit shall become voidable if the soils of the land application sites fail to assimilate the
bulk residuals or the application causes contravention of surface water or groundwater
standards and may be rescinded unless the land application sites are maintained and operated
in a manner that will protect the assigned water quality standards of the surface waters and
groundwater.
2. The residuals land application program shall be effectively maintained and operated at all
times as a non -discharge system to prevent the discharge of any wastes resulting from the
operation of this program.

The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages to
surface waters or groundwater resulting from the operation of this residuals land application
program
4. In the event that the residuals land application program is not operated satisfactorily, including
the creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall cease land applying residuals to the
site, contact the Aquifer Protection Section of the appropriate Division of Water Quality's
(Division) regional office, and take any immediate corrective actions as may be required by
the Division.

9. Maximum slope for residual application shall be 10% for surface application and 18% for
subsurface applications.
10. No residuals at any time shall be stored at any application site, unless approval has been
requested and obtained from the Division.
11. This permit shall become voidable unless the agreements between the Permittee and the
landowners and lessees or operators of any land application site included in this permit not
owned by the Permittee are in full force and effect. These agreements shall be considered
expired concurrent with the expiration date of the permit and shall be renewed at the same
time the permit is renewed.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE RE UIREMENTS
1. The facilities and land application sites shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. A suitable vegetative cover, as listed in condition 114, shall be maintained in accordance with
the crop management plan outlined by the local Extension Office of the Department of
Agriculture, or the Soil Conservation Service, or other agronomist, and approved by this
Division. This vegetative cover shall occur on the site year round.
3. An acceptable pH of the soil, residual and lime mixture, must be maintained greater than 6.0,
on all land application sites to insure optimum yield for the crop(s) specified below. The
agronomist shall provide information on the pH best suited for the specified crop and the soil
type.

a. If the residuals are likely to adversely affect a threatened or endangered species listed
under section 4 of the Endangered Species or its designated critical habitat;
b. If the application causes prolonged nuisance conditions;
c. If the land fails to assimilate the bulk residuals or the application causes the contravention
of surface water or groundwater standards;
11. Should any of the residuals generated by the residuals source -generating facilities listed in this
permit contain a high salt content (i.e., high sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) of five (5) 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

Dear Mr. Krupinski:
On September 24, 1991, the Division of Environmental Management issued Permit No.
WQ0004893 to Campbell Soup Company for the continued operation of a sludge land application
program. On October 25, 1991, the Division received a letter from Ms. Nancy K. Miller with Campbell
Soup Company which expressed concerns regarding the ability of the associated monitoring wells to
comply with the numerical concentration limits for nitrates, total dissolved solids, pH, chlorides, and total
coliforms specified in condition 1V.1 of the permit. The letter stated that background groundwater levels
for pH and nitrates do not comply with the specified concentrations. The Division has reviewed this
situation and has determined that it is appropriate to modify the subject permit; therefore, condition IV.1
has been modified by deleting the allowable concentrations and the paragraph explaining what the numbers
represent.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until August 31, 1996, shall void Permit
No. WQ0004893, which was issued on September 24, 1991, and shall be subject to the conditions and
limitations as specified therein. Please 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.

88/039
The measurement of water level must be made prior to sampling for the remaining
parameters.
The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to
provide relative elevations of the measuring point for each of the monitoring wells. The
depth of water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on the top of the
casing.
If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/1 are detected in any downgradient monitoring
well, additional sampling and analysis most 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 downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling
and analysis as described above.
If any volatile organic compounds are detected by method 6230D, or the equivalent method
502.2, then EPA methods 604 and 611 must also be run to detect other organic compounds
which may be present. The results of all analysis specified in the monitoring requirements,
including 604 and 611 if required, must be submitted simultaneously

specified by regulations in 15 NCAC 2L, Classifications and Water Quality Standards
applicable to the groundwater of North Carolina. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality
Standards beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to penalty provisions applicable
under General Statute 143-215.6(1)a. The sale of property, by the Permittee, which is
within or contiguous to the disposal system site may alter location of the Compliance
Boundary.
For facilities permitted on or after December 30, 1983, the Compliance Boundary is
established at the lesser of 250 feet from the perimeter of the waste disposal area or 50 feet
within the property boundary.
If the title to any property which may affect the location of the Compliance Boundary is
changed, the Permittee shall notify the DEM Director within 14 days. The Director shall
then establish a modified Compliance Boundary which will be done as a modification to the
Permit.
The REVIEW BOUNDARY delineated on the attached site map for the disposal system is
specified by regulations in 15 NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. A
REVIEW BOUNDARY is established around disposal systems midway between the
Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the waste disposal area. When the
concentration of any substance equals or exceeds the maximum allowable concentration of
that substance at the REVIEW BOUNDARY, as determined by monitoring, the permittee
shall either (i) demonstrate, through predictive calculations or modeling, that natural site
conditions, facility design and operational controls will prevent a violation of standards at
the Compliance Boundary; or, (ii) submit a plan for the alteration of existing site
conditions, facility design or operational controls that will prevent a violation of standards
at the Compliance Boundary, and implement that plan upon its approval by the Director.
3. No land application of wastewater shall take place when the seasonal high water table is
less than three feet below the surface of the land.
4. Any groundwater quality monitoring as deemed necessary by the Division of

The Permittee shall report by telephone to the Fayetteville Regional Office telephone no.
[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 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 release of sludge material
to receiving waters.
C. Any time that self -monitoring information indicates that the facility has gone out of
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.
C. Any spillage or discharge from a vehicle or piping system transporting sludge to the
application site.

Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in letter
form within 15 days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report must outline
the actions taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem does not recur.
IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
1. The three (3) existing monitoring wells (No.s 8, 9, and 10) shall continued to be sampled
every March, July, and November for the following parameters:
NO3 (10.0) TDS (500.0)
TOC pH (6.5-8.5 standard units)
Ammonia Nitrogen Chloride (250.0)
Water Level Total Coliforms(1/100 ml)
Total Suspended Solids
Volatile Organic Compounds - In November only (by Method 1 or Method 2
below)
The numbers in parentheses represent the maximum allowable concentrations in
groundwater for the various analytical parameters, as specified in 15 NCAC 2L
[Groundwater Classifications and Standards]. Unless otherwise noted, the concentrations
are given in parts per million.
Method 1: Method 6230D (Capillary - Column), "Standard Methods for the Examination
of Water and Wastewater", 17th edition, 1989
Method 2: Method 502.2 " Methods for the Determination of Organic Compounds in
Drinking Water", United States Environmental Protection Agency - 600/4-
88/039
The measurement of water level must be made prior to sampling for the remaining
parameters.
The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to
provide relative elevations of the measuring point for each of the monitoring wells. The
depth of water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on the top of the
casing.
If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/l are detected in any downgradient 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 back r� monitor well exceeds 10 mg/i, this concentration will be taken to represent
the naturally occurring TOC concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring
TOC concentration in the downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling
and analysis as described above.
If any volatile organic compounds are detected by method 6230D, or the equivalent method
502.2, then EPA methods 604 and 611 must also be run to detect other organic compounds
which may be present. The results of all analysis specified in the monitoring requirements,
including 604 and 611 if required, must be submitted simultaneously
The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent to the N.C. Division of
Environmental Management on Form GW-59 (Compliance Monitoring Report Form) every
April, August, and December.

2. The Compliance Boundary delineated on the attached map for the disposal system is
specified by regulations in 15 NCAC 2L, Classifications and Water Quality Standards
applicable to the groundwater of North Carolina. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality
Standards beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to penalty provisions applicable
under General Statute 143-215.6(1)a. The sale of property, by the Permittee, which is
within or contiguous to the disposal system site may alter location of the Compliance
Boundary.
For facilities permitted on or after December 30, 1983, the Compliance Boundary is
established at the lesser of 250 feet from the perimeter of the waste disposal area or 50 feet
within the property boundary.
If the title to any property which may affect the location of the Compliance Boundary is
changed, the Permittee shall notify the DEM Director within 14 days. The Director shall
then establish a modified Compliance Boundary which will be done as a modification to the
Permit.
The REVIEW BOUNDARY delineated on the attached site map for the disposal system is
specified by regulations in 15 NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. A
REVIEW BOUNDARY is established around disposal systems midway between the
Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the waste disposal area. When the
concentration of any substance equals or exceeds the maximum allowable concentration of
that substance at the REVIEW BOUNDARY, as determined by monitoring, the permittee
shall either (i) demonstrate, through predictive calculations or modeling, that natural site
conditions, facility design and operational controls will prevent a violation of standards at
the Compliance Boundary; or, (ii) submit a plan for the alteration of existing site
conditions, facility design or operational controls that will prevent a violation of standards
at the Compliance Boundary, and implement that plan upon its approval by the Director.
3. No land application of wastewater shall take place when the seasonal high water table is
less than three feet below the surface of the land.
4. Any groundwater quality monitoring as deemed necessary by the Division of
Environmental Management shall be provided.
V . INSPECTIONS
1. The Permittee or his designee shall inspect the sludge storage, transport, and disposal
facilities to prevent malfunctions and deterioration, operator errors and discharges which
may cause or lead to the release of wastes to the environment, a threat to human health, or a
nuisance. The Permittee shall keep 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 three years from the date of the inspection and shall be made available upon
request by the Division of Environmental Management or other permitting authority.
2. Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the Division of Environmental
Management may, upon presentation of credentials, enter and inspect any property,
premises or place on or related to the disposal site and facility 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; or may obtain samples of
groundwater, surface water, or leachate.
