For land on which land application events of residuals has not occurred or for which the data is incomplete, use background concentrations through representative sampling. 6. When residuals are land applied under the conditions of this permit, the Class B pathogen requirements and site restrictions in 15A NCAC 02T .1106 (a) and (c), and one of the vector attraction reduction requirements in 15A NCAC 02T .1107 (a) shall be met. Additionally, an evaluation shall be performed that demonstrates the residuals' ability to comply with this requirement. Upon request, a copy of this evaluation, including all test results and calculations, shall be submitted. Only residuals that are generated by the residuals source -generating facilities that are identified as being exempt from this condition in the most recently -certified Attachment A shall not be required to comply with the specified pathogen reduction and vector attraction reduction requirements. 7.

Specific residuals land application area boundaries shall be clearly marked on each land application site prior to and during a residuals land application event. 9. Residuals and other sources of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) shall be land applied to all land application sites at or below agronomic rates. Appropriate agronomic rates shall be calculated using expected nitrogen requirements based on the Realistic Yield Expectations (RYE) for each approved land application site. Realistic Yield Expectations for crop types and specific fields or soils types shall be determined by using any the following methods: a. North Carolina Historical Data for specific crop and soil types as provided by North Carolina State University Department. of Soil Science Webpage at: http://www.soil.ncsu.edu/=p/ncnmwg/yields/ b. Site Specific Historical Data for crop types on specific fields or soil types by calculating the mean of the best three yields of the last five consecutive crop harvests for each field. WQ0003281 Version 2.0 Shell Version 070228 Page 4 of 13 If the RYE cannot be determined using methods 9(a) or (b) above, RYE can be established from specially developed soil interpretation records for Nutrient Management Planning, Farm Service Agency Records, university trials, or inference from crop performance on soil with very similar physical and chemical features. d. Realistic Yields Expectations and .acceptable nitrogen application rates that use the above methodology are required parts of many agricultural planning documents. The Permittee may use the RYE and appropriate agronomic rates reported in any of the following documents: i. Crop management plan as outlined by the local Cooperative Extension Office, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, or other agronomist. ii. Waste Utilization Plan as outlined by Senate Bill 1217 Interagency Group- Guidance Document: Chapter 1. Guidance for the completion of the plan can be found at: http://www.enr.state.nc.us/DSWC/Pages/guidance—does.html. iii. Certified Nutrient Management Plan as outlined by Natural Resources Conservation Services (MRCS). These plans must meet the USDA-NRCS 590 Nutrient Management Standards, which are available at: ftp://ftp-fc.sc.egov.usda.gov/IA/technical/N590-03-2001.pdf e. For any crop type for which the RYE and appropriate nitrogen application rate cannot be determined, the Permittee shall contact the Division to determine necessary action. 10. If the land application sites are to be overseeded (e.g., berrnuda grass in the summer and rye grass in the winter with BOTH crops to receive residuals), then the second crop shall receive an application of PAN at a rate of no greater than 50 pounds per acre per year. This practice shall be allowed as long as the second crop is to be harvested. If the second crop is to be planted for erosion control only and is to be tilled into the soil, then no residuals shall be land applied to these sites because the PAN will essentially be returned to the soil. Prior to application of PAN to permitted sites at rates exceeding the agronomic rate, the Permittee _must_submit_and_recei-veapproval_by_the_Division.---____--__ 11. Should any of the residuals generated by the residuals source -generating facilities listed in the most recently -certified Attachment A of this permit contain a high salt content (i.e., high sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) of five (5) or higher), the exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) or other method as approved by the Division, using the results from the annual soils analysis as required by this permit, shall be monitored on all of the land application sites. The local Cooperative Extension Office, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, a North Carolina -licensed Soil Scientist, or other agronomist shall review the results and make recommendations regarding soil amendments (e.g., gypsum, etc.) or other ameliorative mechanism for maintaining the integrity of the site in terms of suitability for land application of residuals and maintaining conditions conducive to crop growth. The Permittee shall implement such recommendations accordingly and shall maintain written records of each monitoring event that includes details of the sites covered and rate of soil amendment application. WQ0003281 Version 2.0 Shell Version 070228 Page 5 of 13 12. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for residuals land application programs is specified by regulations in 15A NCAC 2L (i.e., "Groundwater Classifications and Standards"). The Compliance Boundary for each land application site is established at either 250 feet from the residuals land application area or 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is closest to the residuals land application area. Per 15A NCAC 2T .0105(h), upon the request by the Permittee the Compliance Boundary may be located closer to the waste disposal area (provided the groundwater standards can be met at the newly established Compliance Boundary). Any approved relocation of the COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY will be noted in the most recently -certified Attachment B of this permit. An exceedance of Groundwater Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to remediation action according to 15A NCAC 2L .0106(d)(2) as well as enforcement actions in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A through 143-215.6C. 13, The REVIEW BOUNDARY shall be established around each land application site midway between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the residuals land application area. Any exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at the Review Boundary shall require action in accordance with 15A NCAC 2L .0106 (d)(1). 14. The appropriate local governmental ,official (i.e., county manager, city manager, etc.) shall be notified at least 24 hours prior to the initial residuals land application event to any new land application site. In addition, the appropriate county manager's office shall be notified prior to the initial residuals land application event on any new site so that they will be aware that residuals land application activities have commenced on the site. 15. The Aquifer Protection Section of the appropriate Division's regional office shall be notified at least 24 hours prior to the initial residuals land application event on any new land application site. Such notification to the Regional Aquifer Protection Supervisor shall be made during normal office hours (i.e., from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.) between Monday and Friday, but excluding State Holidays. A list of the Division's regional offices, their county coverage, and their contact information may be downloaded from the web site at http://www.enr.state.nc.us/html/regionaloffices.html. III. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS The residuals land application program shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times as a non -discharge system to .prevent the discharge of any wastes resulting from the operation of this ---program.. -T-he Permittee-shall--maintain-an Operation-and-MaintenancePlan-pursuant to-15A NCAC-- -------- 02T .1110 including operational functions, maintenance schedules, safety measures, and a spill response plan. 2. In the event that the residuals land application program is not operated satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall cease land applying residuals to the site, contact the Aquifer Protection Section of the appropriate Division of Water Quality's (Division) regional office, and take any immediate corrective actions as may be required by the Division. 3. Upon classification of the residuals land application program by the Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC), the Permittee shall designate a certified land application/residuals operator to be in responsible charge (ORC) of the program. The operator shall hold a certificate of the type classification assigned to the program by the WPCSOCC. The Permittee shall also designate a certified back-up operator of the appropriate type to comply with the conditions of 15A NCAC 8G .0202. WQ0003281 Version 2.0 Shell Version 070228 Page 6 of 13 This permit shall become voidable if the soils of the land application sites fail to assimilate the residuals or the application causes contravention of surface water or groundwater standards and may be rescinded unless the land application sites are maintained and operated in a manner that will protect the assigned water quality standards of the surface waters and groundwater. 5. A copy of this permit shall be maintained in all manned equipment at the land application sites when residuals are being land applied during the life of this permit. The spill prevention and control plan shall be maintained in all residuals transport and application vehicles. Adequate provisions shall be taken to prevent wind erosion,and surface runoff from conveying residuals from the land application sites onto adjacent properties or into any surface waters. Adequate procedures shall be provided to prevent surface runoff from carrying any land applied or stored residuals into any surface waters. 8. No residuals shall be stored at any land application site at any time, unless written -approval has first been requested and obtained from the Division. 9. Bulk residuals shall not be applied to the land under the following conditions: a. If the residuals are likely to adversely affect a threatened or endangered species listed under section 4 of the Endangered Species or its designated critical habitat; b. If the application causes prolonged nuisance conditions; c. If the land fails to assimilate the bulk residuals or the application causes the contravention of surface water or groundwater standards; d. If the land is flooded, frozen, or snow-covered or is otherwise in a condition such that runoff of the residuals would occur; e.

During a measurable precipitation event (i.e., >.01" per hour) or within 24 hours following a rainfall event of 0.5 inches or greater in a 24-hour period. Any emergency residuals land application measures shall first be approved in writing by the Division; g. If the slope for land is greater than 10 percent when bulk liquid residuals are surface applied, and if the slope of the land -is greater then 18 percent withJ-tiulk-liquid residuals are-inj-ectea or incorporated; h. If the pH is not maintained in the soil, residuals, and lime mixture, greater than 6.0, on land application sites onto which residuals are applied. Residuals may be applied to the sites provided that sufficient amounts of lime is also applied to achieve a final pH of the soil mixture of at least 6.0, or if an. agronomist provides information indicating that the pH of the soil, residuals, and lime mixture is suited for the specified crop type. Any approved variations to the acceptable soil pH (6.0) for land application will be noted in the most recently certified Attachment B of this permit. i. If the land does not have an established vegetative cover in accordance with the crop management plan outlined by the local Cooperative Extension Office, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, or other agronomist unless the bulk residuals are incorporated within a 24-hour period following the residuals land application event or injected (This requirement does not apply to no -till fields); WQ0003281 Version 2.0 Shell Version 070228 Page 7 of 13 If the vertical separation of the seasonal high water table and the depth of residuals application is less than one foot; or k. If the vertical separation of the depth to bedrock and the depth of residuals application is less than one foot. 10. For land onto which bulk residual that do not meet the Class A Pathogen Reduction Requirements (15A NCAC 02T .1106(b)), the following public access restrictions apply: a. Public access to public contact sites shall be restricted for one calendar year after any residuals land application event; and b. Public access to land that is not a public contact site shall be restricted for 30 days after any residuals land application event. 11. For land onto which bulk residual that do not meet the Class A pathogen Reduction Requirements (15A NCAC 02T .1106(b)), the following harvesting and grazing restrictions apply: a. Animals shall not be allowed to graze on land application sites for 30 days after any residuals land application event. Sites that are to be used for grazing shall have fencing that will be used to prevent access after each event; b.

Food crops with harvested parts below the surface of the land (i.e., root crops such as potatoes, carrots, radishes, etc.) shall not be harvested for 20 months after any residuals land application event when the residuals remain on the land surface for four months or longer prior to incorporation into the soil; e. Food crops with harvested parts below the surface of the land shall not be harvested for 38 months after any residuals land application event when the residuals remain on the land surface for less than four months prior to incorporation into the soil; and f. Turf grown on land where residuals are applied shall not be harvested for 12 months after any residuals land application event. 12. This permit shall become voidable unless the agreements between the Permittee and the landowners and lessees or operators of any land application sites listed in the most recently -certified Attachment B of this permit not owned by the Permittee are in full force and effect. These agreements shall be considered expired concurrent with the expiration date of the permit and shall be renewed at the same time the permit is renewed. 13. Upon entering an agreement with landowners to apply residuals to a land application site, the Permittee shall require of the landowner or lessee/operator a statement detailing the volume of nutrient sources (waste- residuals, manufactured fertilizers, manures, or other animal waste products) other than the residuals to be applied by the Permittee, that have been applied to the land, and a copy of the most recent Nutrient Management Plan (NMP), if available, for the fields within the agreement. For the purpose of this permit condition, a Crop Management Plan (CMP), Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) or Certified Nutrient Management Plan (CLAMP) shall also be considered a Nutrient Management Plan. WQ0003281 Version 2.0 Shell Version 070228 Page 8 of 13 The NMPs must be provided only for those operations where a NMP is required by the US Department of Agriculture - National Resources Conservation Service (MRCS) or other State Agencies. The Permittee shall rely on the provided information to calculate appropriate reductions in allowable nutrient loading rates. If the calculation shows that the agronomic rates in the NMP (including PAN) have already been met or exceeded on a field, no additional residuals shall be land applied to that field. IV. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS Any monitoring (i.e., including groundwater, surface water, residuals, soil, or plant tissue analyses) deemed necessary by the Division toensure protection of the environment shall be established, and an acceptable sampling and reporting schedule shall be followed. Residuals generated by each residuals source -generating facility listed in the most -recently -certified Attachment A of this permit shall be analyzed to demonstrate that they are non -hazardous under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).

Specific residuals land application area boundaries shall be clearly marked on each land application site prior to and during a residuals land application event. 9. Residuals and other sources of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) shall be land applied to all land application sites at or below agronomic rates. Appropriate agronomic rates shall be calculated using expected nitrogen requirements based on the Realistic Yield Expectations (RYE) for each approved land application site. Realistic Yield Expectations for crop types and specific fields or soils types shall be determined by using any the following methods: a. North Carolina Historical Data for specific crop and soil types as provided by North Carolina State University Department of Soil Science Webpage at: http://www.soll.nesu.edu/nmp/nenmwg/yields/ b. Site Specific Historical Data for crop types on specific fields or soil types by calculating the mean of the best three yields of the last five consecutive crop harvests for each field. WQ0003281 Version 2.0 Shell Version 070228 Page 4 of 13 If the RYE cannot be determined using methods 9(a) or (b) above, RYE can be established from specially developed soil interpretation records for Nutrient Management Planning, Farm Service Agency Records, university trials, or inference from crop performance on soil with very similar physical and chemical features. d. Realistic Yields Expectations and acceptable nitrogen application rates that use the above methodology are required parts of many agricultural planning documents. The Permittee may use the RYE and appropriate agronomic rates reported in any of the following documents: i. Crop management plan as outlined by the local Cooperative Extension Office, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, or other agronomist. ii. Waste Utilization Plan as outlined by Senate Bill 1217 Interagency Group- Guidance Document: Chapter 1. Guidance for the completion of the plan can be found at: http://www.enr.state.nc.us/DSWC/pages/guidance—does.html. iii. Certified Nutrient Management Plan as outlined by Natural Resources Conservation Services (MRCS). These plans must meet the USDA-NRCS 590 Nutrient Management Standards, which are available at: ftp://ftp-fc.se.egov.usda.gov/LA/technical/N590-03-2001.pdf For any crop type for which the RYE and appropriate nitrogen application rate cannot be determined, the Permittee shall contact the Division to determine necessary action. 10. If the land application sites are to be overseeded (e.g., bermuda grass in the summer and rye grass in the winter with BOTH crops to receive residuals), then the second crop shall receive an application of PAN at a rate of no greater than 50 pounds per acre per year. This practice shall be allowed as long as the second crop is to be harvested. If the second crop is to be planted for erosion control only and is to be tilled into the soil, then no residuals shall be land applied to these sites because the PAN will essentially be returned to the soil. Prior to application of PAN to permitted sites at rates exceeding the agronomic rate, the Permittee ______.must_submit_and_receive-approval-b-y-the_Division._.�_.__ 11. Should any of the residuals generated by the residuals source -generating facilities listed in the most recently -certified Attachment A of this permit contain a high salt content (i.e., high sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) of five (5) or higher), the exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) or other method as approved by the Division, using the results from the annual soils analysis as required by this permit, shall be monitored on all of the land application sites. The local Cooperative Extension Office, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, a North Carolina -licensed Soil Scientist, or other agronomist shall review the results and make recommendations regarding soil amendments (e.g., gypsum, etc.) or other ameliorative mechanism for maintaining the integrity of the site in terms of suitability for land application of residuals and maintaining conditions conducive to crop growth. The Permittee shall implement such recommendations accordingly and shall maintain written records of each monitoring event that includes details of the sites covered and rate of soil amendment application. WQ0003281 Version 2.0 Shell Version 070228 Page 5 of 13 12. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for residuals land application programs is specified by regulations in 15A NCAC 2L (i.e., "Groundwater Classifications and Standards"). The Compliance Boundary for each land application site is established at either 250 feet from the residuals land application area or 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is closest to the residuals land application area. Per 15A NCAC 2T .0105(h), upon the request by the Permittee the Compliance Boundary may be located closer to the waste disposal area (provided the groundwater standards can be met at the newly established Compliance Boundary). Any approved relocation of the COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY will be noted in the most recently -certified Attachment B of this permit. An exceedance of Groundwater Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to remediation action according to 15A NCAC 2L .0106(d)(2) as well as enforcement actions in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A through 143-215.6C. 13. The REVIEW BOUNDARY shall be established around each land application site midway between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the residuals land application area. Any exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at the Review Boundary shall require action in accordance with 15A NCAC 2L .0106 (d)(1). 14. The appropriate local governmental official (i.e., county manager, city manager, etc.) shall be notified at least 24 hours prior to the initial residuals land application event to any new land application site. In addition, the appropriate county manager's office shall be notified prior to the initial residuals land application event on any new site so that they will be aware that residuals land application activities have commenced on the site. 15. The Aquifer Protection Section of the appropriate Division's regional office shall be notified at least 24 hours prior to the initial residuals land application event on any new land application site. Such notification to the Regional Aquifer. Protection Supervisor shall be made during normal office hours (i.e., from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.) between Monday and Friday, but excluding State Holidays. A list of the Division's regional offices, their county coverage, and their contact information may be downloaded from the web site at http://www.enr.state.nc.us/html/regionaloffices.html. III. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS 1.

Any emergency residuals land application measures shall first be approved in writing by the Division; g. If the slope for land is greater than 10 percent when bulk liquid residuals are surface applied, and if the slope of the land --is greater then 18 -percent with bulk -liquid residuals' -are injected or incorporated; h. If the pH is not maintained in the soil, residuals, and lime mixture, greater than 6.0, on land application sites onto which residuals are applied. Residuals may be applied to the sites provided that sufficient amounts of lime is also applied to achieve a final pH of the soil mixture of at least 6.0, or if an agronomist provides information indicating that the pH of the soil, residuals, and lime mixture is suited for the specified crop type. Any approved variations to the acceptable soil pH (6.0) for land application will be noted in the most recently certified Attachment B of this permit. i. If the land does not have an established vegetative cover in accordance with the crop management plan outlined by the local Cooperative Extension Office, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, or other agronomist unless the bulls residuals are incorporated within a 24-hour period following the residuals land application event or injected (This requirement does not apply to no -till fields); WQ0003281 Version 2.0 Shell Version 070228 Page 7 of 13 j . If the vertical separation of the seasonal high water table and the depth of residuals application is less than one foot; or k. If the vertical separation of the depth to bedrock and the depth of residuals application is less than one foot. 10. For land onto which bulk residual that do not meet the Class A Pathogen Reduction Requirements (15A NCAC 02T .1106(b)), the following public access restrictions apply: a. Public access to public contact sites shall be restricted for one calendar year after any residuals land application event; and b. Public access to land that is not a public contact site shall be restricted for 30 days after any residuals land application event. 11. For land onto which bulk residual that do not meet the Class A pathogen Reduction Requirements (15A NCAC 02T .1106(b)), the following harvesting and grazing restrictions apply: Animals shall not be allowed to graze on land application sites for 30 days after any residuals land application event. Sites that are to be used for grazing shall have fencing that will be used to prevent access after each event; b. Food crops, feed crops, and fiber crops that do not come in contact with the residuals shall not be harvested for 30 days after any residuals land application event; c. Food crops with harvested parts that touch the residual/soil mixture and are totally above the land surface (e.g., tobacco, melons, cucumbers, squash, etc.) shall not be harvested for 14 months after any residuals land application event; d. Food crops with harvested parts below the surface of the land (i.e., root crops such as potatoes, carrots, radishes, etc.) shall not be harvested for 20 months after any residuals land application event when the residuals remain on the land surface for four months or longer prior to incorporation into the soil; e. Food crops with harvested parts below the surface of the land shall not be harvested for 38 months after any residuals land application event when the residuals remain on the land surface for less than four months prior to incorporation into the soil; and f. Turf grown on land where residuals are applied shall not be harvested for 12 months after any residuals land application event. 12. This permit shall become voidable unless the agreements between the Permittee and the landowners and lessees or operators of any land application sites listed in the most recently -certified Attachment B of this permit not owned by the Permittee are in full force and effect. These agreements shall be considered expired concurrent with the expiration date of the permit and shall be renewed at the same time the permit is renewed. 13. Upon entering an agreement with landowners to apply residuals to a land application site, the Permittee shall require of the landowner or lessee/operator a statement detailing the volume of nutrient sources (waste residuals, manufactured fertilizers, manures, or other animal waste products) other than the residuals to be applied by the Permittee, that have been applied to the land, and a copy of the most recent Nutrient Management Plan (NMP), if available, for the fields within the agreement. For the purpose of this permit condition, a Crop Management Plan (CMP), Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) or Certified Nutrient Management Plan (CNMP) shall also be considered a Nutrient Management Plan. WQ0003281 Version 2.0 Shell Version 070228 Page 8 of 13 The NMPs must be provided only for those operations where a NMP is required by the US Department of Agriculture - National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) or other State Agencies. The Permittee shall rely on the provided information to calculate appropriate reductions in allowable nutrient loading rates.

U W l5 In SEP _ 1 2006 ILU Subject: Application No. WQ0003281 Additional Information Request City of Belmont Residuals Land Application Program Land Application of Residual Solids (503) Gaston County The Land Application Permits and Compliance Unit has conducted a preliminary review of the subject permit application package. Additional information is required before we may continue our review. Please address the following items no later than September 30, 2006. 1. A laboratory report dated 4/16/04 was provided for the residuals analysis. The lab results provided in form RSCA sections IIA.b and II.5.b are from a report dated 10/6/04. Please provide the lab results for 10/6/04. Also, on form RSCA page 6 of 8 reports the Ammonia - Nitrogen as ND. Results that are below the detection level must be reported at the detection limit. Please provide a revised page 6 of 8 with the correct Ammonia Nitrogen result. 2. Residuals Analysis is currently required quarterly since the current permit is for 900 dry tons per year. The Residuals Analysis may be reduced to annually at 300 dry tons per year. The Belmont WWTP Sampling Plan specifies once per quarter sampling. If you wish to sample annually, please revise the Sampling Plan accordingly. Also, the Sampling Plan lists the TCLP parameters to be analyzed for but leaves off Chloroform. There is a term "Chorobenzene" in the list where Chloroform should be, which appears to be an error. Please revise the TCLP list accordingly. Forms BWAA have been provided for two residences owned by Lori Warren related to field BT9-1. Both residences have the same location (1407 Alexis -Lucia Road) but the buffer distance is 100 feet on one and 250 feet on the other. Please verify the correct buffer distance and the correct address for each residence. Note that form BWAA is not required for residences owned by the Landowner and located on the property on which residuals are to be applied. One of these residences (the one with a 250 foot buffer) appears to be within the property boundary. Please identify the residences on the buffer map by address and by owner.

Provide any additional narrative regarding your review of the application.: BIMs reflects updated field list for this application. The application asks for a reduction in annual dry tons permitted. A look at past annual reports justifies this request. This application also requests a deletion of most of the previously permitted fields leaving only three fields with a total of 79.9 acres per the LASCA form. Page S of the NDRLAP states 81.9 acres to be permitted. This needs to be clarified. The.IRO has requested and received updated maps for the current LA sites. The new maps were inserted into the NIRO file copy of the application, as well as the permit copy being returned with this staff report. There are also two more sets of maps in this package for Central Office use. There are no field summary sheets in the permit application. The attachment B has been updated in BIMs. 2.

This current trend is anticipated to stay the same. The amounts of dry tons over the past few years have been 163.18, 263.58, 131.01, and 165.9. None of these amounts is close to the currently 900 dry tons per year permitted. We are requesting that the amount of dry tons permitted to be land applied per year be decreased to 300 dry tons per year. This amount would be more than sufficient to handle the amount of residuals being produced by The City of Belmont. Belmont WWTP Sampling Plan Once per quarter or if a land application event does not occur each quarter, prior to land application, grab samples are collected from the sludge holding tank. These individual grab samples are collected and sent for fecal coliform analysis. Volatile solids are collected from the sludge holding tank and from the return activated sludge from the - sludge thickening tanks prior to, being sent to the aeration basin for calculation of volatile . solids reduction. Once per quarter, or if a land application event does not occur quarterly, a composite residual solid sample will be analyzed for: Cadmium, Copper, Lead, Mercury, Molybdenum, Nickel, Selenium, Zinc, Aluminum, Ammonia nitrogen, Calcium, Nitrate nitrogen, Nitrogen, Magnesium, % total solids, pH, phosphorus, Potassium, TKN, and Sodium.

Klimek, P.E. - Division of Water Quality - with reference to the above violation number. ❖ Violation to Condition IV. 1. a - GW-30 Forms not being received on or around June 30,2001 in order to meet compliance with the well abandonment activities on the Quinn/ Messer Site: The City of Belmont contracts our Land Application services with Mr. Dennis Key of Southern Soil Builders, Inc. and according to Mr. Key; everything relating to the Quinn/Messer Site has been submitted, completed and filed away in accordance with DWQ and all related field inspections. Attached with this letter is all the related information for which Mr. Key had submitted to the State for your files. According to Mr. Key, this file was approved and closed several years back. With acknowledgement of this statement and no known correspondence of record to the City of Belmont since 2001, we can only assume that Mr. Key's statement and attached records are correct. ❖ Violation to Condition VI. 7. , - Deadline for Permittee to request permit renewal within six months of the permit's expiration date, noted as July 4, 2005 as due date for submittal: Mr. Key, the same contracting vendor as above, did not visit the City of Belmont until earlier this month in request for the application renewal. At no time did he mention that the renewal form was late. The agreement was approved by City Manager Barry Webb on December 12, 2005 and according to my conversation with Mr. Key, the application was submitted to the Raleigh office and has since been placed on file in your office along with your acknowledgement. Wastewater Staff apologizes for not noting the importance of filing this important date into our electronic data base. By now doing so, this should remedy this problem from reoccurring. Contracting vendors will now be required to note compliance dates as " matters of importance" and for maintaining future contractual agreements. Ms. Shannon Mohr Thornburg December 16, 2005 Page 2 On behalf of the City of Belmont I would like to note that our Wastewater staff, as ORC's in charge of compliance to our permits with DWQ, apologizes for any misunderstandings or failure to respond to any written correspondence for which may have been issued to the responding departments or vendors. Both our staff and vendors main goal is to insure that our permits stay within compliance at all times. Sincerely Yo s; 'L0,3 David W.

The following corrections have been made to the permit: 1. Condition IV. 1. of the permit requires the abandonment of four groundwater monitoring wells .at the Quinn/Messer Site. Mr. Waiters has reported that there are in fact only three groundwater monitoring wells existing at this site, while the fourth well is actually used for the purpose of potable water supply. For this reason, Condition IV. 1. has been amended to reflect the fact that only the three groundwater monitoring wells must be abandoned in accordance with 15A NCAC 2C .0113 (i.e., the potable water supply well should remain intact). This condition also requires that the well abandonment described above must take place within 60 days of the permit's issuance. Mr. Waiters has reported that he has consulted with a well contractor, and the site is still too wet to bring in the equipment necessary to complete the abandonment correctly. Therefore, additional time is needed to allow the site to dry out adequately before this condition may be met. For this reason, Condition IV. 1. has also been amended to reflect the fact that the wells must now be abandoned within 120 days of the permit's issuance. Please replace Page 7 with the corrected Page 7 into Permit No. WQ0003281, issued January 31, 2001. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone (919) 733-5083 Fax (919) 715-6048 An Fniml hnnnrhinihi Affirmnthic AnHnn C...nl...— 1 1I.--• 7.

Any time that self -monitoring information indicates that the residuals land application program has gone out of compliance with the conditions and limitations of this permit or the parameters on which the system was designed. d. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that render the facilities incapable of adequate residual treatment. e. Any spillage or discharge from a vehicle or piping system transporting residuals to the land application sites.

This report shall outline the actions taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem does not recur. IV. GROUNDWATER REOUIREMENTS Within 120 days of this permit's issuance, the three groundwater monitoring wells at the Quinn/Messer Site shall be abandoned in accordance with 15A NCAC 2C .0113 (i.e., "Abandonment of Wells").

No residuals shall be applied to any land application site when the vertical separation between the waste and the water table is less than three feet. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for disposal systems shall be specified by regulations in 15A NCAC 2L (i.e., Groundwater Classifications and Standards): The Compliance Boundary for residuals land application programs initiated after December 31, 1983 shall be established at either (1) 250 feet from the land application area, or (2) 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is closest to the land application area. An exceedance of groundwater quality standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary shall be subject to immediate remediation action in addition to the penalty provisions applicable under North Carolina General Statute § 143-215.6A(a)(1). •; North Carolina Department of Environment, Health: & Natural Resources Division of Environmental Management Groundwater Section P.O.

MRO water Quality agrees with GW since the field where the monitoring wells are located has not received residuals since 1993, and the wells have a clean history. These wells will need to be abandoned according to policy. Permittee will need to contact Peggy Finley, MRO Groundwater section for proper well abandonment procedure. The application did not identify the proper vector attraction reduction (VAR) methods (section V part 2) used by the City of Belmont. The City does not perform SOUR tests. The contractor.plans to surface apply all the batch lime stabilized (2-f) biosolids from the City. All fields in this permit application are pastures. Application options i or j (injection or incorporation) cannot be used unless the land owner gives permission to the contractor to disc or inject on the pasture. Page 8 of 18 is not correctly filled out. Calculations are not submitted on the proper pages (11,12,13, and 14) of the LARS application. There are no topo maps in the application package. Other maps (submitted) are of very poor quality. This permit application is for 363 acres (previously 705 acres of which 342 acres have been removed). Calculations show 300 acres needed for a rate of 139.8 lbs. of PAN/ acre. Southern Soil Builders stated that they are planning to permit more acreage under this permit but did not include the acreage in this renewal due to time constraints. Item 4 of the submitted spill control plan should include liming of the roadside as an option in the event of a spill on a public road (right of way).

Five (5) copies are enclosed. As stated in my letter of April 20, 2000, this permit application was delayed past the 6-month prior to time period due to the change in biosolid handlers and plant personnel. We appreciate your willingness to work with us and the City of Belmont in a timely fashion. Eight of the ten sites in the current permit are being renewed with a total applicable acreage of 6 3. Also as a part of this renewal we support the City's request to discontinue the groundwater monitoring program; in my opinion it has successfully performed and completed its function as described in Section B of this permit application. If you need additional information concerning this, please contact me at 336) 957-8909; or Caroline Edwards, SSB Technical Services, at 828)247- 0067. S, rely, Dennis Key, Presid6nt Southern Soil Builders, Inc. Enclosures cc: Barry Webb, Manager City of Belmont SOUTHERN SOIL BUILDERS, INC. Roaring River, NC I. INTRODUCTION The City of Belmont proposes to renew non -discharge permit # WQ0003281. This permit consists of residuals produced from the Wastewater Treatment as described in the current permit dated October 20, 1995. The City proposes to keep its current level of permitted dry tons at 900. Due to changes in landowner management and land use patterns, two sites (#4 - Audrey Rudisill and #8 - Jimmy Reel) will not be renewed. The remaining landowners have agreed to continue to utilize the biosolids application program, with some field and/or buffer changes as described in the site section. Land application is currently permitted on 705 acres; this application deletes 342 acres from the current permit, with no additional acreage outside the current permit being proposed at this time. Additional acreage may be proposed in the future. n This reduction in acreage will result in economic savings in providing 1 biosolids to farmers in Lincoln and Gaston Counties. These landowners have eagerly agreed to continue having biosolids applie to their land at agronomic rates to be used as a fertilizer supplement. II. OUTLINE OF APPLICATION INFORMATION A. GENERAL This section contains general project information including the State of North Carolina Form LARS 02/95 with calculations and application rate evaluation; and the spill control plan. Fields dropped from the program are noted on the Latitudes and Longitudes pages. Field and acreage changes are fully noted in the site section. B. GROUNDWATER MONITORING This section contains reports on the groundwater monitoring program and requests the discontinuance of such. C. CURRENT PERMIT SOUTHERN SOIL BUILDERS, INC. Roaring River, NC D. ANALYSIS This section contains reports on Total Sludge, TCLP, and Fecal Coliform Analysis. E. SITES This section contains information on the Sites identified for biosolids applications which are to continue under the City's renewed permit for Land Application: Revised Site Maps, Vicinity Maps and Site Summary Sheets. The completed NC-DEM Agreement for Land Application of Waste Sludge to Private Lands can also be found in this section as well as the Cumulative Loading Rates for fields which have had biosolids applied in the past; Landowner contact information; and Soil Test Results. Only one field has not received a biosolids application as of this application: Site BT2 - 4 W. W. Reel SOUTHERN SOIL BUILDERS, INC. Roaring River, NC III. OPERATIONS A. FIELD A SSB project manager will contact the farmer to schedule applications. Prior to spreading operations, the project manager will flag the site according to the buffer zones listed in the permit. SURFACE APPLICATIONS Surface applications occur on hay and pasture lands. The spreader surface applies an even application of the dewatered biosolid between 10 to 50 cubic yards or wet tons/ac, depending on the amount of dry tons allowed by the permit and the percent solids of the biosolid. Calibration of the spreader has been predetermined through a procedure that involves adjustment of both the speed of the vehicle and the size of the gate opening. Generally, the operator begins at the back of a field working to the front to avoid getting "painted into a corner." This continues until the field is completed. B. ACCESS CONTROL Since the biosolids will be applied to private lands, no trespassing is allowed on any of the sites. Fencing is in place to allow for cattle control and rotations. IV. REPORTING A report showing the date, dry tonnage, gallons, field numbers, acres and pounds -per -acre applied of nutrients and metals will be generated for each application event. Copies of these reports will be submitted to the City of Belmont and the landowner. An annual report will be generated as required in the permit.

The geometric mean of the densities of these samples will be calculated and should be less than 2,000,000 most probable number per gram of total dry solids, or less than 2,000,000 Colony Forming Units per gram of total dry solids. b. the residuals must be treated by one of the following "Process to Significantly Reduce Pathogens" (PSRP). 1. Aerobic Digestion = residuals are agitated with air or oxygen to maintain aerobic conditions for a specific mean cell residence time and temperature between 40 days at 200 C and 60 days at 150 C. 2. Air Drying - residuals are dried on sand beds or on paved or unpaved basins for a minimum of three months. During two of the three months, the ambient average daily temperature is above Oo C. 3. Anaerobic -Digestion - residuals are treated in the absence of air for a specific mean cell residence time and temperature between 15 days at 350 C to 550 C and 60 days at 200 C. 4. Composting - using either the within -vessel, static aerated pile, or windrow composting methods, the temperature of the residuals are raised to 400 C or higher for five days. For four hours during the five days, the temperature in the compost pile exceeds 550 C. 5. Lime Stabilization - sufficient lime is added to the residuals to raise the pH of the residuals to 12 after two hours of contact. c. The residuals shall be treated by a process that is equivalent to a 'Process to Significantly Reduce Pathogens" (PSRP), as determined by the permitting authority, based on an evaluation of the recommendations provided by the Pathogen Equivalency Committee. 2. In addition, when residuals are being land applied, at least one of the following vector attraction reduction requirements (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, or j) described below must be met. 434 f ` Specify the letter(s) of the vector attraction reduction requirement that have been met (submit lab results, test results and calculations). Any variation of the below must be described in full detail and attached. Aerobic or Anaerobic Digestion - The mass of volatile solids are reduced by at least 38%. Volatile solids reduction is measured between the residuals, prior to stabilization, and the residuals ready for use or disposal. This criterion should be readily met by properly designed and operated anaerobic digestors, but not as readily met by aerobic digestors. Treatment facilities with aerobic digestors may need to meet the vector attraction reduction requirement through 18c or 18d. b. Anaerobic Digestion - If 38% volatile solids reduction cannot be achieved, vector attraction reduction can be demonstrated by further digesting a portion of the previously digested residuals in a bench scale unit for an additional 40 days at 300 C to 370 C. If, at the end of the 40 days, the volatile solids are reduced by less than 17%, vector attraction reduction is achieved. �Aerobic Digestion - If 38% volatile solids reduction cannot be achieved, vector attraction reduction can be demonstrated - by further digesting a portion of the previously digested residuals that have a solids content of 2% or less in a bench scale unit for an additional 30 days at 200 C. If, at the end of the 30 days, the volatile solids are reduced by less than 15%, vector attraction reduction is achieved. d. Aerobic Digestion tion - The specific oxygen uptake rate (SOUR) shall be equal to or less than 1.5 milligrams of oxygen per hour per gram of total dry solids at 200 C. e. Aerobic Processes - The temperature of the residuals for at least 14 days shall be greater than 400 C. During this time, the average temperature shall be greater than 450 C. f. Alkaline Stabilization - The pH of the residuals is raised to 12 or higher by alkali addition and, without the addition of more alkali, remains at 12 or higher for 2 hours and then at 11.5 or higher for an additional 22 hours. FORM: LARS 02/95 Page 4 of 18 g. Dryine (stabilized solids) - The total solids of residuals that do not contain unstabilized solids, and which are generated in a primary wastewater treatment process, shall be equal to or greater than 75%. Blending with other materials is not allowed to achieve the total solids percentage. h. Drying (unstabilized solids) - The total solids of residuals that contains unstabilized solids, and which are generated in a primary wastewater treatment process, shall be equal to or greater than 90%. Blending with other materials is not allowed to achieve the total solids percentage. Injection - Liquid residuals are injected below the land surface, with no significant amount of residuals present on the land surface after 1 hour, unless the residuals are Class A for pathogen reduction. In this case, the residuals shall be injected within 8 hours after being discharged from the pathogen treatment process. j,. Incorporation - Residuals that are surface land applied shall be incorporated into the soil within 6 hours of application, unless the residuals are Class A for pathogen reduction. In this case, the residuals shall be incorporated within 8 hours after discharge from the pathogen treatment process. VI. RESIDUALS TRANSPORT AND APPLICATION: 1. How will the residuals be delivered to the application sites (leak proof trucks, etc.)? Transported to sites and applied there by ndustrial spreader trucks --- 2. What type of equipment will be utilized for land application? Industrials reader trucks .L r 5 7 3. How will the application of the residual be controlled to ensure that there is proper distribution over the site? Precalibration of application equipment -- 4.
