Operation and Maintenance Plan
Taylorsville, NC
Permit No. WQ0006906
In accordance to the requirements set forth by the North Carolina
Department of Environmental and Natural Resources using
N CGS 143-215.1 and 143-215.3 (a) based on 15A NCAC 02T .110,
Taylor.sville, NC is implementing this Operation and Maintenance Plan.
The project manager of the land application event will make sure a daily
check off is performed at the start of each work day. This inspection is to
prevent any spills, leaks, or run-offs.
The daily check -off will consist of inspection the following items:
1. Access to the facility will., be controlled with a locked gate and
signs to prevent any unauthorized entry into the complex.
2. All pumps and hose will be checked at the start of each day for
leaks or loose fittings.
3. All tanker valves are closed prior to loading and lids are closed
prior to transport.
4. All dump trailers or dump trucks gates are tightly fastened and
do not leak prior to transport. '
5. All on road equipment is check as per DOT regulations for any
safety or mechanical hazards or issues.
6. All equipment is secured at the end of each working day to
prevent any tampering or unauthorized use.
The ORC or back up ORC will inspect the field after each land application
event to make sure all regulations as required by the permit are followed.
Also the project manager at the end of each working day during a land
application event will make sure that all gates if present are closed.
All samples shall be taken as early as possible before the first application
event of the calendar year to make sure the facility is compliance.
The samples will be taken in a matter that is representative of the residuals
and all grab samples will be mixed prior to be placed in to the containers

W
that will go to the laboratory. These samples must be collected and
transported as outlined in the Sampling Plan attached to this O&M Plan.
All records of. these laboratory results as well as the annual report and
loading rates will be kept on file for a minimum of five (5) years.
Also, in the unlikely event of a spill or unintended release of residuals,
actions should be immediately taken as outlined in a copy of the
spill control plan attached.

SAMPLING PLAN
Taylorsville, NC
Annually, if a land application event occurs, grab samples are collected from the digester.
Samples from the digester will be combined to form individual.grab samples to be sent to a laboratory
for analysis. If a land application event is to occur in the early part of a calendar year (i.e. January or
early February) these samples may have to be taken in December so results can be obtained before the
land application event, as some results take 30+ days to receive.
These individual grab samples are collected and tested for fecal coliform analysis, volatile solids
reduction, nutrient analysis, and a TCLP test. These tests will be taken by Southern Soil Builders, Inc. All
samples with the exception of the composite residual sample will be taken to Statesville Analytical. All
samples taken will be taken in the same condition as the residuals are to be land applied.
The volatile solids will first be attempted to be achieved using option 1 [503.33(b)(1)]; 38°t
volatile solids reduction. This option will be attempted first due to it being the most cost effective. One
sample will be taken at the aeration basin and labeled "B". The next sample will be labeled .."A" and be
taken from the digester.
If the option 1 cannot be achieved to meet the volatiie'solids reduction, a 30 day bench scale
option 3 [503.33(b)(3)] test will be used. This sample will be taken from the digester with the sample
being at least a quart in quantity.
If both option 1 and 3 are used and volatile.solids reduction cannot be achieved; the sludge
holding tank will be stabilized using sufficient alkaline to meet option 6 [503.33(b)(6)], commonly known
as lime stabilization.
Fecal Coiiform is gather in seven (7) individual samples and tested to meet the requirements of
[503.32(b)(2)]. This requirement is for the geometric mean fecal coliform density of the samples be less
than two million (2,000,000) MPN per gram. These samples will be,placed in 250ml containers and
placed on ice, in a cooler for transport to the laboratory before 1600 hours (4pm) the same day the
samples are obtained.
Annually, if land application occurs, a composite residual sample will be analyzed, prior to a land
application event for:
Cadmium, Copper; Lead, Mercury, Molybdenum, Nickel, Selenium., Zinc, Aluminum, Ammonia
Nitrogen, Calcium, Nitrate Nitrogen, Magnesium, °l total Solids,..pH, Phosphorus, Potassium, TKN,
Sodium
From this information, the Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) and a Sodium Absorption Ratio (SAR)
will be calculated. This sample will collected in a non -breakable container, at least one quart in size. This
sample will be taken from the digester. This test will be done by A&L Labs.

SPILL CONTROL PLAN- Southern Soil Builders Inc.
Taylorsville, NC- Permit No. WQ0006906
In the event of a spill, the following should be taken IMMEDITALY.

3. Cleanup. Employ vacuum trucks, dump trucks, and loaders to remove as much
of the spilled material as passible. Use straw to soak -up the remaining material.
Dispose of the same in a landfill.
4. Flush the roadways with water if needed. if the spill occurred on a tillable area, till
the same into the soil and spread lime if necessary: if a spill occurs on private
property, final clean-up should be to the satisfaction of the owner.

25% in accordance with the USDA-NRCS 590 "Nutrient Manaaement Standards,
12. If land application sites are to be over -seeded or double -cropped (e.g., bermuda grass in the summer
and rye grass in the winter with both crops to receive residuals), then the second crop can receive an
application ofPA214 at a rate not to exceed 50 pounds per acre per year (lbs/ ac/yT). This practice may

therefore, the compliance boundary is established at either 250 feet from the residual land application
area, or 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is closest to the residual land application
area. An exceedance of groundwater standards at or beyond the compliance boundary is subject to
remediation action according to 15A NCAC 02L .0106(d)(2) as well as enforcement actions in
accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A through 143-215.6C. Any approved
relocation of the COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY will be noted in Attachment B.
15. In accordance with 15A NUAC; UZL .UIU6, the review boundary shall be established miaway between .
