To Whom It May Concern
I would like to renew our NPDES permit # NC0028223. Enclosed is the application and
the sludge management plans for the facility.
There have been no additions to the plant since the last permit renewal.
I would like to request that you modify my permit, to change the daily maximum on the
BOD from 7.5 mg/1 to 10.0 mg/1. On a few occasions we have exceeded the 7.5 mg/l for
some unknown reason. As you can see from our annual daily maximum average is only
5.3 mg/l.
I would also like the permit to be modified, reducing the monitoring frequency from three
times a week to once a week. This plant is only 40,000 gallons per day and has had only a
few minor violations over the years.
Thank you for your consideration.
Yours truly,
Z

Sludge Management Plan
When our sludge settles in a jar for about 20 minutes at 40 — 45%, we start removing it by
the clarifiers return. It is pumped to the sludge holding tank to be aerated and thickened.
When the tank is full, the air is cut off for about six hours. The clear water on top is then
pumped back to the head of the plant. The air is cut back on and the tank is refilled. This
process is continued until there is not enough water to pump off.
Hydrated lime is then mixed with the sludge until a pH of 12 is maintained for at least 2
hours.
The sludge is remove to permitted application fields and applied. % Solids, TCLIPs and
soil testing is done at least annually. Cover crops are grown and harvested on these fields.

limits). Basin Coordinator to make case -by -case decision.
ND -mg_ This permit CANNOT BE EXPEDITED for one of the following reasons:
• Major Facility (municipal/industrial)
• Minor Municipals with pretreatment program
• Minor Industrials subject to Fed Effluent Guidelines (lb/day limits for BOD, TSS,
etc)
• Limits based on reasonable potential analysis (metals, GW remediation organics)
• Permitted flow > 0.5 MGD (requires full Fact Sheet)
• Permits determined by Basin Coordinator to be outside expedited process
