During the pre -review process, it was noted that the following items were missing from the submitted application package: 1. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02T .1109(c) and per Application Instruction Don Form: DCAR 06- 16, provide the following: ➢ A narrative explaining: ❑ How the materials will be handled and transported from where the residuals were produced to where it will be treated. ❑ How the residuals will be processed/treated (attach process flow diagram). ❑ How leachate collection will be handled. ❑ Where the residuals will be stored until processed. ❑ How the final product will be distributed (packaging, bulk, etc.) ❑ What nutrients or other constituents (i.e. nitrogen, phosphorous, aluminum, calcium, etc.) are used or recommended as the limiting parameter for determination of residuals loading rate to ensure that it does not overload the soil and cause contravention of surface water or groundwater standards, limit crop growth, or adversely impact soil quality. ➢ Attach a marketability statement detailing the: ❑ destinations and approximate amounts of the final product to be distributed.

Foreman August 6, 2020 Page 2 of 4 ➢ Provide either a label that shall be affixed to the bagged processed residual or an information sheet that shall be provided to the person who receives the processed residual. The label or information sheet shall contain, at a minimum, the following information: ❑ Name and address of the person who prepared the residual that is sold or given away. ❑ A statement that application of the residuals to the land shall be in accordance with the instructions on the label or information sheet. ❑ A statement that the residuals shall not be applied to any site that is flooded, frozen or snow-covered. ❑ A statement that adequate procedures shall be provided to prevent surface runoff from carrying any disposed or stored residuals into any surface waters. ❑ Information on all applicable setbacks in accordance with 15A NCAC 02T . 1108(b). ❑ A statement that the residuals shall be applied at agronomic or recommended rates for intended uses. 2. Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02T .I 110 and per Application Instruction H on Form: DCAR 06-16, submit an Operation and Maintenance Plan (O&M Plan) that contains the following: ❑ Operational functions; describe the operation of the program to show what operations are necessary for the program to function and by whom the functions are to be conducted. ❑ Maintenance schedules; may include equipment calibration, maintenance of signs, etc. ❑ Safety measures; may include safety training program, manuals, signs, etc. ❑ Spill response plan; including control, containment, remediation, emergency contact information, etc. ❑ Inspection plan including the following information; ❑ Names and titles of personnel responsible for conducting the inspections. ❑ Frequency and location of inspections, including those to be conducted by the ORC, and procedures to assure that the selected location(s) and inspection frequency are representative of the residuals management program. ❑ Detailed description of inspection procedures including record keeping and actions to be taken by the inspector in the event that noncompliance is observed. ❑ Sampling and monitoring plan including the following information; ❑ Names and titles of personnel responsible for conducting the sampling and monitoring. ❑ Detailed description of monitoring procedures including parameters to be monitored. ❑ Sampling frequency and procedures to assure that representative samples are being collected. Fluctuation in temperature, flow, and other operating conditions can affect the quality of the residuals gathered during a particular sampling event. The sampling plan shall account for any foreseen fluctuations in residuals quality and indicate the most limiting times for residuals to meet pathogen and vector attraction reduction requirements (e.g. facilities that land apply multiple times per year but have an annual sampling frequency, may need to sample during winter months when pathogen reduction is most likely to be negatively affected by cold temperatures. Mr. Zackery L. Foreman August 6, 2020 Page 3 of 4 3. Submit a completed Residuals Source Certification (Form: RSC 06-16) for the Town of Dallas Water Treatment Plant (Permit No. PWS 01-36-065). 4. Per Application Instruction B on Form: RSC 06-16, submit the following residuals source - generating facility information: ❑ A vicinity map that shows the location of the facility and meets all of the criteria in the "Map Guidance for Residuals Land Application Permits". ❑ A detailed narrative and/or process flow diagram that describes how the residuals are to be generated, treated, processed, and stored at the facility. ❑ A quantitative justification for the value provided in Item I. 8. Ensure that the amount of residuals listed is the maximum amount expected to be generated by the facility for the life of the permit. In addition, ensure that this amount is equivalent to that which is actually to be land applied, distributed, and/or disposed, including any chemicals, amendments, or other additives that are added to the residuals during processing. ❑ A detailed sampling plan for the residuals source -generating facility. Ensure that the plan identifies sampling points, sampling frequency, sample type, as well as the Division - certified laboratory to be used. In addition, ensure that the plan details how the facility and/or the residuals are monitored for any applicable pathogen reduction and vector attraction reduction requirements. Note that all sampling and monitoring must be completed on the residuals as they are to be land applied, distributed, and/or disposed. 5. Per Application Instruction C on Form: RSC 06-16, submit the following residuals quality information: ❑ Laboratory analytical reports and operational data - reports for all laboratory analyses used to complete this certification. ❑ Documentation that the facility complies and/or the residuals comply with any applicable pathogen reduction and vector attraction reduction requirements. Accordingly, your permit renewal request is being returned as incomplete per the requirements in 15A NCAC 02T .0107(b). The success of the Water Quality Permitting Section's Non -Discharge Branch process depends upon the receipt of complete and accurate applications and supporting documentation.
