Davie and Rowan Counties
Dear Mr. Pratt:
In accordance with your application received on February 3, 1995, we are forwarding herewith
Permit No. WQ0010583, dated April 13, 1995, to the County of Davie for the operation of a wastewater
residuals land application program. Please be advised that this permit is for site approval only and
therefore, no application of wastewater residuals may take place until such time as an amendment is
submitted and approved by the Division of Environmental Management.
The County of Davie chose not to submit any residuals analysis or data to demonstrate compliance
with metals limitations, pathogens, and vector attraction reduction. Therefore, the County of Davie must
submit a formal permit amendment request which includes data on the residuals for review and approval
p.dor to any land application on the sites included in this permit. The submittal package must include a
request for amendment from the County of Davie, an application fee, and the information required by Part
Ill, #4, 5, and 6 of this land application permit. These conditions include the 40 CFR 503 requirements
for meeting pathogen reduction and vector attraction reduction requirements, TCLP analysis, and a
residual analysis. Also the County of Davie must submit pathogen and vector attraction reduction
information requested in the Land Application of Residual Solids application form Part V, #1 and #2. The
application stated pathogen reduction will be met by aerobic digestion where residuals are agitated with air
or oxygen to maintain aerobic conditions for a mean cell residence time and temperature between 40 days
at 20°C and 60 days at 15°C. Vector attraction reduction will be met by aerobic digestion where the
specific oxygen uptake rate (SOUR) shall be equal to or less than 1.5 mg of oxygen per hour per gram of
total dry solids at 20°C. Data submitted shall show these pathogen and vector attraction reduction
requirements are being met. Upon approval of the request and receipt of an amendment to this permit from
the Division, the County of Davie may proceed with land application.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until February 29, 2000, and shall be
subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein. Please pay particular attention to the
monitoring and reporting requirements contained in this permit. Failure to establish an adequate system
for collecting and maintaining the required operational information will result in future compliance
problems.
