Subject: Permit No. WQ0008195
Agri -South Biosolid Services, Inc.
ABS Residuals Land Application Program
Land Application: of Residual Solids (503 Exempt)
Caswell County
Dear Mr. Toman:
In accordance with your permit modification application package received on December 30, 2002
as well as the additional information received on February 5, 2003, we are forwarding herewith a
modified Permit No. WQ0008195, dated March 12, 2003, to Agri -South Biosolid Services, Inc. for the
subject residuals land application program.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until February 28, 2004; shall void Permit
No. WQ0008195, issued on December 17, 1999; 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 is being issued to approve alum residuals from the Lee County Water Treatment
Plant for land application under this program for the remainder of this permit cycle (i.e., one-time series
of land application events only). These residuals may be land applied on four land application sites in
Caswell County, totaling 96.91 net acres; however, residuals from any other residuals source -generating
facilities certified under this program shall be strictly forbidden for land application on these designated
sites until this permit is renewed. Since the linuting factor associated with land application of alum
residuals is typically the hydraulic acceptance rates of the soils present on the site, the Division urges the
Permittee to take special care during all Iand application events to prevent run-off of the applied residuals
and allow adequate drying time between events.
Note that the total net acreage certified under this program has been reduced to 2,252.72 acres
(i.e., 2,081.62 acres in Caswell County and 171.10 acres in Person County) from the 2,278.349 acres that
was reported in the last issuance of this permit. This is a correction of a typographical error only. In
addition, certain land application sites have been designated for seasonal use (i.e., April through
November, inclusive) only. The Division simply transferred this information from the last issuance of
this permit and modified the condition in accordance with standard Division policy. According to your
consultant, Branch Residuals and Soils, L.L.C., some of these designations may have been in error
because the affected sites have a perched groundwater table and not a high seasonal groundwater table,
which is what seasonal restrictions are intended to protect. it was agreed not to pursue the matter further
during this review so that the Lee County WTP land application events may proceed. However, the
Division is willing to consider the matter again, upon request, as part of any future permit modification
and/or renewal application package. �,a�

Finally, 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.
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.

g. 50 feet from public right of ways for both surface and subsurface application methods;
h. 10 feet from upslope interceptor drains and surface water diversions for both surface and
subsurface application methods; and
25 feet from downslope interceptor drains, surface water diversions, groundwater
drainage systems, and surface drainage ditches for both surface and subsurface
application methods.
Some of the buffers specified above may not have been included in previous permits for this
residuals land application program. However, any land application sites that are listed in the
most recently -certified Attachment B of this permit, but were approved with different buffers
shall be reflagged to comply with these buffers.
6. Maximum slope for land application of residuals shall be 10 percent for surface application
methods and 18 percent for subsurface application methods.

9. An acceptable pH shall be maintained in the soil, residuals, and lime mixture, greater
than 6.0, on all land application sites onto which residuals are land applied to ensure
optimum yield for and to prevent aluminum toxicity to the crops specified in Condition
11.13. The agronomist shall provide information on the pH best suited for the specified crop
and the soil type.
10. Should any of the residuals 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 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. 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 lessee/operator 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) loading rate for the
specified crop (i.e., see Condition 11. 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 II. 13., shalI 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.
4

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.
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 Iand 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.
5

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 ary 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 Iand
application event. Such controls may include the posting of signs indicating the activities
being conducted at each site.
111. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
I. 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.
N.

2. Residuals generated by each residuals source -generating facility listed in the most -recently -
certified Attachment A of this permit shall be analyzed to demonstrate that they are non-
hazardous under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). A corrosivity,
ignitability, and reactivity analysis as well as a Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure
(TCLP) analysis shall be conducted on residuals generated by each residuals source -
generating facility listed in the most recently -certified Attachment A of this permit. The
analyses shall be performed at the frequency specified in the most recently -certified
Attachment A of this permit, and the'results shall e 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 -

IV. GROUNDWATER REOUIREMENTS
1. Land Aonlication Site Reauirernents:
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 throug1hout 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. Applicable Boundary Requirements:
a. The COMPLIANCE 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 land 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 Re uirements:
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.
10

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,

V1. 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.
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.
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 NCGO10000,
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.
S. 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.
