Raleigh Farm Site Phase A Description:
The Raleigh Farm Site consists of a portion of property owned by the City of Raleigh which houses their
Neuse River Resource Recovery Facility (NRRRF) also known as the Neuse River Wastewater Treatment
Plant. The property is managed by the City of Raleigh Public Utilities Department (CORPUD). Due to the
size of the total land holdings, existing irrigation infrastructure, plant expansion plans, and alternative
use plans we have divided the NRRRF Site into three phases, A, B, and C. This submittal details the
NRRRF Site Phase A, which includes property south of Old Baucom Road and south of the Neuse River.
Raleigh began residuals application in 1980 and currently has 1,439 acres permitted for land application
of biosolids. Several areas in the Site footprint have been subject to biosolids application including
application related to the variance request approved by the EMC in 2009 that affected the City’s
Corrective Action Plan (CAP) to address elevated nitrate concentrations in the groundwater which
resulted from the over application of biosolids at the NRRRF. Land application of biosolids has occurred
on the site since being acquired by Raleigh with the exception of the 10 year moratorium between 2003
and 2013. Specific field boundaries and active biosolid application areas are further detailed in the
attached Figure 5 which is a portion of the map titled, CORPUD NRRRF All Sites Location Map 2016. The
property is currently managed for hay and row crop production. The CORPUD map shows the location
of a constructed wetland that was a requirement of the variance
A review of aerial photography beginning in 1993 shows the property was cleared in 1993 and used for
agriculture by 1998 without significant changes to land use since.
