MEMORANDUM TO: Don Safrit
FROM: D. Rex Gleason
PREPARED BY: Allen Hardy
SUBJECT: City of Belmont (WQ 0002681)
Sludge Land Application
Gaston County, North Carolina
The City of Belmont submitted a renewal request for the land
application of sludge which was later returned as incomplete due
to lack of information (see the letter to the City of Belmont
dated November 16,.1989). However, prior to the project being
returned a staff report and recommendation was completed on
December 14, 1989 (staff report attached).
The above mentioned staff report and recommendations still
apply, and, pending review and approval of the submitted
information by the SERG and the Groundwater Section, it is
recommended that the permit be issued.

Gaston County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Heath:
This Office is in receipt of the monitor well results which
you submitted on December 20, 1989. The parameters analyzed were
within compliance of the North Carolina Groundwater Standards.
In review of the data, however, it was noted that the City
of Belmont failed to report the concentration of total ammonia in
each of the monitor wells. The concentration of chromium was not
reported for Well No. 2. In addition, monitoring results were
not submitted from the water supply well on the Messer property
as required in Condition No. 15 of the Permit.
If the information was inadvertently not reported on the
compliance monitoring form (GW59) please submit this information
within fifteen (15) days after receipt of this correspondence.
In the event that the parameters were not analyzed, they must be
reported with the results from your next sampling period, which
is March, 1990.
I have attached a copy of your Permit, which is currently in
effect, outlining the groundwater monitoring requirements.

This letter is to provide information that you requested in your letter
dated January 11, 1990. As I discussed with you per our telephone conversation
on January 17, 1990 the Toatl Ammonia was incorrectly identified as well
I neglected to provide the Total Chromium .concentration for well #2.
That level was .05 mg/l.
I have provided a copy of the laboratory report for Par Laboratories who
performed these tests for us. I hope this provides all of the information
that you require.
I have also enclosed the map that you requested in your letter dated
December 14, 1989. I hope this is sufficent for the requirements.
Further, we have collected samples for soil analysis (January 16, 1990)
and should be able to provide the other information that is required soon.
If I can be of further assistance please call me at 704-825-3791. Thank

Dear Mr. Welts,
Thi
s letter is to provide an explaination of the failure to provide sampling
and/or monitoring information for the monitoring wells at our sludge disposal
site as per our permit requirements in permit # 10499-R.
After Irp e laced Mr. Johnson in February he left me with a list of all of
our, I presumed, sampling and monitoring requirements and various permits.
I have since found on more than one occasion that this was incorrect.
The only monitoring requirement involving the wells that I was aware of
was to perform phenolic evaluations at prescribed times which we did.
(Copies of these evaluations are inclosed)
I realize of course that this is not a very good excuse and truthfully
I am not trying to offer one, I only ask that in light of the fact that
we did not use this facility in the time period in which incomplete monitor-
ing was conducted that this fact not be held against us. We will make
sure that no such failure happens again.

RE: City of Belmont
Renewal of Permit No. 10499-R
GW No. 89455
Gaston County, N.C.
As part of the Division of Environmental Management's
comprehensive approach in addressing the impact of waste treatment,
storage, or disposal projects on the environment, your permit
application has been forwarded to us for assessment of the potential
impact of the project on groundwater quality.
Our initial review indicates that the data submitted is not
sufficient to make this assessment.
Before your application can be processed, therefore, you are
requested to submit the following information to the Groundwater
Section. This information should be submitted in full within 60 days
of the date of this letter. Failure to comply may result in the
returning of this application as incomplete.
A site specific map, to scale, showing all property boundaries
surrounding the site(s), the boundary of the area to which the sludge
will be applied, and the location of all monitoring wells (along with
well numbers or designation for each well). This map is necessary
for us to prepare a compliance boundary map for the facility, which
will be attached to the permit when issued.

Dear Mr. Johnson:
A review of the compliance monitoring reports for the
monitoring wells at the subject facility submitted on July 30,
1987 has been completed by the Groundwater Section at this
Office.
Reported values for phenol on the monitoring wells ranged
from 6.2 - 28.8 ug/1 (micrograms per liter). These values
exceed the maximum allowable concentration of 1.0 ug/1 for
phenol. Therefore, all four wells should be resampled for
phenol as soon as possible and the results made available to
this Department.
Also, at least six volumes of water in each well should be
pumped or bailed prior to collecting a sample for analysis. The
subject reports show that the wells were inadequately purged
prior to sampling.

Re: Your letter of 0ct.5,1987 and our conversation Oct. 8.1987
Permit.No. 10499-R
Dear Sir,
As per our discussion we will be pulling our regular
Scheduled Sampling of the four Sludge Farm wells in November, and
you agree that this will serve the purpose of resampling called for
in your letter.
We will contact Mr.Hubbell at Chem-Bac Laboratories as to the
best method to collect and transport samples for the phenol determination.
and we will take care to purge the wells as prescribed before we pull
the samples.
Yours Truly,

SUBJECT: Regional Non -Discharge Permit Application Review
City of Belmont
Land Application of Sludge
Gaston County, North Carolina
I have reviewed the above application and my comments/recommendations are
as follows:
1. The original permit issued for this site on July 23, 1984 required
monitoring wells and listed the sampling parameters. The monitoring
wells were to be sampled semi-annually and the locations of the wells
were to be selected by the Groundwater Section of the Mooresville Regional
Office. However, this Office has no record of any monitoring wells or
sampling results at this site.
2. Since we cannot request a hydrogeologic profile at this late date, it
is recommended that three (3) down gradient monitoring wells be required
at this site. The bored water supply well on Mr. Messer's property
can be used for the control well. Location of the three down gradient
monitoring wells should be approved by the Groundwater Section of the
Mooresville Regional Office. The .wells should be sampled initially
after installation and quarterly thereafter for the following parameters:
NO TOC Specific Conductance Zinc
TA3 Cl Temperature Chromium
TDS O-P Lead Silver
pH *Water Level Copper Phenol
*The measurement of water levels should be made prior to sampling.
In the event groundwater contamination is detected at the initial sampling,
Permit renewal at this site should be denied.
3. Site B on the Messer property is unacceptable due to the high water table
in that field (see copy of Richard R. Peace's comments made 6/21/84).
4. No monitoring wells are recommended on the G. W. Wilson property since
Michael.L. Parker's (Water Quality Section) staff report states that the
property will not be used for land application of sludge.
Should you have questions regarding the above comments/recommendations, please
call me.

SUBJECT: Permit Application for'Land Application of Sludge
City of Belmont
The following is the staff report and recommendations for the proposed land
application of sludge from the City of Belmont.
The sites are on a farm owned by Mr. Paul Messer. The farm is located on the
west side of Gaston County Road 2428 (Wilson Road) approximately 0.3 miles south of
the intersection of N. C. 274 and Road 2428. There are three sites on the farm,
totaling about 85 acres. See attached figures 1, 2, and 3.
Four (4) sites were inspected on the Messer property but site B was ruled out
when groundwater was encountered at about four (4) feet. File data indicates that
water levels in southeastern Gaston County are 25 to 30 feet below land surface.
The area is underlain by -granite diorite. Weathering of the.igneous-metamorphic
rock unit ranges from 25 to more than 70 feet and averages about 45 feet.
No surface streams were seen. However, low topographic areas .ar. shown on
each side of Site A and on the west side of Site D. Mr. Messer told me that there
is a spring in the draw between Sites B and D but it goes dry during the summer
and early fall.

2. Special monitoring requests: (See Part IV)
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The City of Belmont was originally permitted use of two (2) farms for sludge
disposal (Mr. Paul Messer and Mr. G. W. Wilson). Since that time, Mr. Wilson has
removed his farm from availability, leaving the Messer farm as the only sludge,
disposal site available to the City (approx. 50 acres).
The site investigation indicated that very little of the site had been
utilized for disposal. The disposal method used by the City (see Part II,
No. 5) appeared adequate although it is not the type of disposal method
originally proposed by the City. It did not appear that sludge was being
applied in inclement weather as no runoff was observed. A good cover crop was being
maintained on -site. The primary use of the site is for pasture for grazing cattle.
Fencing is provided to restrict use between sludge applications.
The City recently experienced a change in WWTP chief operators. The current
operator, Mr. Johnson, has informed this Office that information regarding past
sludge application rates were not recorded and are therefore unavailable. Since
that time, a record of sludge application has been recorded and was shown to the
writer during the site visit. The writer did not observe any disposal rates above
the limits contained in the Permit.
Groundwater sampling has not, at this writing, been conducted at the site.
Initially, a groundwater monitoring program was not required by the DEM. The
DEM's MRO Groundwater Section has submitted comments to the Raleigh Central
Office concerning renewal of this Permit. Implementation of a groundwater
monitoring program may be necessary. Installation of any monitoring wells
should be located by MRO Groundwater personnel.

Page Three
It is recommended that the Permit be renewed for the City of Belmont for a
period of three (3) years. Condition No. 21 of the Permit should be amended to
delete Mr. G. W. Wilson's Farm, all other conditions should remain as is.
One added condition which should be included in the Permit is that the
City shall accurately maintain a record of all sludge application on the
Messer Farm. The record should include:
a. Dates of application
b. Method of application
c. Fields used for disposal (A, B, C or D)*
d. Application rates (in tons/acre/year)
e. Volume of sludge applied (in tons/day)
*See original diagram denoting the labeling of the four (4)
fields available for sludge disposal on the Messer Farm.

TA MANAGEMENT
GROUNDWATER SECTION
June 27, 1984
The Groundwa er taff have reviewed the project proposal and Dick Peace's
assessment and recommendations, a copy of which is attached. It is our under-
standing that only those fields located west of S.R. 2428 will be used for
disposal. Given that condition, we would concur with Dick's recommendation
precluding disposal on Site B and would recommend the following stipulations:
that no disposal take place within 250 feet of Mr. Messer's well
that Pb, Cu, Zn, Cr, NH and phenol be added to the list of sampling
parameters which Dick outlined in his memorandum, and
that the wells be located as closely as possible to the sites outlined
on Dick's map and that the wells be 25 feet from the edge of the per-

SUBJECT: Permit Application for Land Application of Sludge
City of Belmont
Perry Nelson
Arthur Mouberry
Dick Peace
The following is the staff report and recommendations for the proposed land
application of sludge from the City of Belmont.
The sites are on a farm owned by Mr. Paul Messer. The farm is located on the
west side of Gaston County Road 2428 (Wilson Road) approximately 0.3 miles southof
the intersection of N. C. 274 and Road 2428. There are three sites on the farm,.
totaling about 85 acres. See attached figures 1, 2, and 3.
Four (4) sites were inspected on the Messer property but site B was ruled out
when groundwater was encountered at about four (4) feet. File data indicates that
water levels in southeastern Gaston County are 25 to 30 feet below land surface.
The area is underlain by granite diorite. Weathering of the igneous -metamorphic
rock un-it ranges from 25 to more than 70 feet and averages about 45 feet.
No surface streams were seen. However, low topographic areas are shown on
each side of Site A and on the west side of Site D. Mr. Messer told me that there
is a spring in the draw between Sites B and D but it goes dry during the summer
and early fall.
Mr. Messer's water well -is located near the back of his house and is
200 feet from the nearest area of any planned sludge disposal. This well
used as the control well and sampling for water quality work should be re
The reported construction data of the well are 24-inch diameter, concrete
76 feet deep.
You are referred to the W.Q. Permit application for the sludge analy
is recommended that the following parameters be analyzed semi-annually:
pH
Specific Conductance
Temperature
Chloride
Nitrate
Lead
Chromium

tile, and
ses. It
At least three (3) monitoring wells should be drilled in the general locations
shown on figures 1, 2, and 3. No exact sites were marked in the field. The
monitoring wells should be on the edge of the areas sludge is spread.
This site appears to be excellent for the City of Belmont's sludge disposal.

Permit Application for Land Application of Sludge
City of Belmont
The following is the staff report and recommendations for the proposed land
application of sludge from the City of Belmont.
The sites are on a farm owned by Mr. Paul Messer. The farm is located on the
west side of Gaston County Road 2428 (Wilson Road) approximately 0.3 miles south of
the intersection of N. C. 274 and Road 2428. There are three sites on the farm,
totaling about 85 acres. See attached figures 1, 2, and 3.
Four (4) sites were inspected on the Messer property but site B was ruled out
when groundwater was encountered at about four (4) feet. File data indicates that
water levels in southeastern Gaston County are 25 to 30 feet below land surface.
The area is underlain by granite diorite. Weathering of the igneous -metamorphic
rock unit ranges from 25 to more than 70 feet and averages about 45 feet.
No surface streams were seen. However, low topographic areas are shown on
each side of Site A and on the west side of Site D. Mr. Messer told me that there
is a spring in the draw between Sites B and D but it goes dry during the summer
and early fall.
Mr. Messer's water well is located near the back of his house and is
200 feet from the nearest area ofany planned sludge disposal. This well
used as the control well and sampling for water quality work should be req
The reported construction data of the well are 24-inch diameter, concrete
76 feet deep.

tile, and
You are referred to the W.Q. Permit application for the sludge analyses. It
is recommended that the following parameters be analyzed semi-annually:
pH
Specific Conductance
Temperature
Chloride
Nitrate
Lead
Chromium
Silver
At least three (3) monitoring wells should be drilled in the generallocations
shownon figures 1, 2, and 3. No exact sites were marked in the field. The
monitoring wells should be on the edge of the areas sludge is spread.
This site appears to be excellent for the City of Belmont's sludge disposal.

PART II - DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED SLUDGE DISPOSAL SITE
ry
The City of Belmont has been granted permission to use two large tracts of
farmland south of Belmont for the purpose of land applying waste sludge
generated at Belmont's WWTP. (See attached diagram showing approximate
location of each field A-D, Messer Farm, and A-C, Wilson Farm). MRO
personnel conducted soil borings to a depth of 48" throughout each of the
fields listed on the Messer farm. All sites sampled exhibited good soil
depth and structure:. Fine'sandy loam soil was the predominate type of soil
found with some area of sandy clay loam scattered throughout the area.
Soil depth ranged from 18-36" with well defined soil strata evident
throughout the site. According to preliminary studies the site Cation
Exchange Capacity (CEC) ranged from 8.2 to 13.1 MEQ/100 grams.
All sites currently located on the Messer Farm consist of pasture land which
is grazed by livestock. There are provisions available to prohibit the
grazing of livestock on disposal areas for a period of thirty (30) days afte
sludge has been applied (fencing). Some small grain is being grown on the
Wilson Farm, however, this area may not be needed by the City for several yea
Buffer zones exist between each of the separate sites on the Messer farm in
the form of dense woods. No water -course or flowing stream is located withi
at least 100 feet of any.site, as are all property lines. Site is well abov
100 year flood plain elevation and is not located in a watershed.
Phosporous has been determined to be the nutrient limitating constituent for
this site with an application rate of 2.78 tons/acre/year. As for metal

-2-
loading rates, zinc is the limiting constituent. Sludge analysis provided by
the Town have indicated that 1880 tons ofsludge can be applied to the site
before the 500 lbs/acre cumulative load is reached. Site life is expected to
exceed 200 years based on the zinc loading rates and a sludge application
rate of 4.5 tons/acre/year, which may be a little high.
The type of sludge to be applied is typical municipal sludge generated from
a wastewater of approximately 40% industrial wastewater and 60% domestic
wastewater. Sludge analysis and EP toxicity test have not revealed any
hazardous or toxic waste.
The method of sludge disposal will consist of a agricultural implement
commonly referred to as a manure spreader which will distribute the bed
dried sludge over the soil. Sludge applications should be limited during
the winter months to those months when the soil can support the traffic of
the application equipment. A good cover crop is already established at each
site and care should be taken so as to minimize equipment damage. Due to the
large amount of available land and relatively small amount of sludge generate
by Belmont, use of the Wilson Farm for disposal purposes may never be needed.
Recommendations and/or Special Conditions
MRO Groundwater personnel have evaluated the entire disposal site and '
recommend that at this time no groundwater monitoring program be established.
Some liming of the soil may be needed prior to sludge application in order to
keep the soil pH at a 6.5 level or higher.
A statement should be included in the Permit stating that for Belmont's
self-protection, groundwater sampling be conducted at the site to assure that
no current contamination exist prior to the first application of sludge.
It is recommended that a non -discharge Permit be issued to the City of
Belmont for a period of two (2) years.

to develop a sludge inventory for all major municipal wastewater treatment
facilities. The inventory must include the quantity/quality of sludge
being handled and the disposal practices. In order to comply with this
requirement, the Division is requesting assistance from the operators of
major municipal facilities to provide this information.
Enclosed is a Sludge Management and Inventory Tracking Questionnaire
developed by the Division to assist in providing the required information.
Each Section of the Questionnaire should be completed, or it should be noted
that the information is either not applicable or not available:'"
It is requested that the questionnaire be completed for the subject
facility and returned to the Construction Grants Section no later than
June 12, 1987.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. T. Allen Wahab of this
office at [phone].

the operation of a sludge land application facility. The only
:limitations to land application of sludge will be to limit the
applications during the winter months to those periods when the
trafficability of the soil will support the application equipment. In
the summertime application events should preclude application during
periods of heavy rains.
Geology. The geology of an area is important in siting
potential land treatment facilities because excessivefracturing in
underlying rock can create undesirable characteristics in the ground
water. The Piedmont geology is complex in nature and the geologic map of
North Carolina indicates that the Belmont area is underlain by igneous
and metamorphic rocks of the Diorite-Gabbro complex. Characteristically
these rocks are massive to weakly foliated gray to dark green -gray rocks.
Fracturing is not generally excessive, and rapid movement of groundwater
through this complex should not be a major problem.
Soils. There are several predominant soil series which were
encountered on the sites proposed to receive the sludge from the Town of
Belmont. Soil samples were collected for laboratory analysis from each
of the soils encountered on the sites. The testing indicated that the
exchange capacity of the soil ranged between 8.2 and 13.1 Meq/100 grams
of soil.. For purposes of design, a CEC falling between the 5 and 15
range is used to determine permissible metal accumulations on the site.
The metal of most concern in this sludge application system is zinc.
Based on the analysis of the sludge provided by the BAE laboratory, there
are .266 pounds of zinc in every ton of sludge generated at the Belmont
wastewater treatment facility. Based on a loading of 500 pounds of zinc
per acre over the life of the site, each acre of land can accommodate
1880 tons of sludge.
Land Use. The land use in the area is currently agricultural
production. The current rotation is corn, beans and small grain. A11
indications are that. the existing pattern will continue. It is very
important that the pH of the site be maintained at 6.5 or higher. The
soil tests indicate that the farm management has done an adequate job in
maintaining the pH above 6; however, the pH of 6.5 is required for sludge
application facilities. This may interfere slightly with the cultivation
of some agricultural crops but should not hinder the agricultural
operations marketedly.
Agronomic Plan. The current agricultural operation on the sites
appear to be adequate. Current liming practices are satisfactory for
agricultural production; however, they are not adequate for sludge
projects. Additional lime must be added to the site prior to the
application of sludge. The soils in the area are naturally acidic and
the addition of approximately .5 tons of lime per acre per year should be
accomplished to keep the soil pH at or near optimum levels. The existing
agricultural operation of rotating crops is excellent as a receiver for
the sludge. Most crops can utilize the constituents in the sludge very
efficiently. Crops grown on the site must be harvested, and if sludge is
to be applied within 30 days of harvest, the crop should not be fed to
grazing dairy cattle.
Conclusion
The land application facility for the Town of Belmont appears to be
a viable alternative. The amount of land required to assimilate the
sludge will depend on thevolume of sludge generated per year.
Phosphorus appears to be the limiting constituent in this system on an
annual basis. Based on a loading of 4.5 tons of sludge per acre per
year, the land area required must be calculated directly from the sludge

volume generated. The site limiting constituent on this sludge
application project appears to be zinc. Based on the analysis provided,
1880 tons of zinc can be applied to the site before the cumulative load
of 500 pounds per acre has been reached.

SITE INVESTIGATION
for the
Town of Belmont, North Carolina
Introduction
Soil samples from the Town of Belmont, North Carolina, were
collected and analyzed. The purpose of the analysis was to determine
the suitability of the sites for lana application of sludge. In
addition, sludge samples were analyzed for potential toxicity and
nutrient concentration. The purpose of this report is to evaluate the
sludge as a soil amendment, to determine appropriate loadings for this
material onto the land, and to develop a site management program.
Waste Characterization
A private commercial laboratory analyzed samples of the Belmont
sludge to determine its EP toxicity. The analysis indicated that the
sludge is considered nontoxic. Unfortunately the analysis did not
consider the nutrient value of the sludge. For this reason, samples of
the sludge were collected and sent to the Biological and Agricultural
Engineering Department at North Carolina State University for the
nutrient analysis. The analysis is presented in Table 1 below. In
addition, mass loadings are calculated for each ton of sludge to be land
applied, recommended loadings are presented, and the site life is
determined.
The analysis indicates that the phosphorus will be the limiting
constituent on the site. The land area required to assimilate the
phosphorus load in one ton of sludge is the most limiting of the
constituents. Based upon the data presented in the table, the land area
required to assimilate the phosphorus loading in one ton of sludge is
calculated:
16072 PPM-P x .002 = .36 acres
90 lbs-P /ac /yr
This .36 acres is capable of assimilating the phosphorus contained in one
ton of sludge. Another method for determining the loading is to
determine the number of tons of sludge which can be applied to each acre
of land. Based on the .36-acre load per ton, the sludge loading per acre
is calculated as:
1 = 2.78 tons/acre
.76
Site Investigation
Investigation of the proposed sites has been accomplished. The site
information necessary to develop the design criteria for land treatment
include knowledge of the climate, geology, slope, soils, and present land
use patterns encountered on the site. Each of these must be addressed in
developing the sludge managmenet plan.
Climate. Climate is a major factor in determining the
suitability of a site as a receiver for the waste. Excessive
precipitation can create runoff problems on potential land treatment
sites. The characteristic climate of Gaston County, North Carolina, is
temperate. The winters are mild and the summers are warm. The average
annual precipitation in the area is approximately 46 inches per year.
July and August are generally the wettest months because of thunderstorm
activity while October and November are generally the driest. The
climatic conditions encountered in the area should pose little hazard to

`the operation of a sludge land application facility. The only
limitations to land application of sludge will be to limit the
applications during the winter months to those periods when the
trafficability of the soil will support the application equipment. In
the summertime application events should preclude application during
periods of heavy rains.
Geology. The geology of an area is important in siting
potential land treatment facilities because excessive fracturing in
underlying rock can create undesirable characteristics in the ground
water. The Piedmont geology is complex in nature and the geologic map of
North Carolina indicates that the Belmont area is underlain by igneous
and metamorphic rocks of the Diorite-Gabbro complex. Characteristically
these rocks are massive to weakly foliated gray to dark green -gray rocks.
Fracturing is not generally excessive, and rapid movement of groundwater
through this complex should not be a major problem.
Soils. There are several predominant soil series which were
encountered on the sites proposed to receive the sludge from the Town of
Belmont. Soil samples were collected for laboratory analysis from each
of the soils encountered on the sites. The testing indicated that the
exchange capacity of the soil ranged between 8.2 and 13.1 Meq/100 grams
of soil. For purposes of design, a CEC falling between the 5 and 15
range is used to determine permissible metal accumulations on the site.
The metal of most concern in this sludge application system is zinc.
Based on the analysis of the sludge provided by the BAE laboratory, there
are .266 pounds of zinc in every ton of sludge generated at the Belmont
wastewater treatment facility. Based on a loading of 500 pounds of zinc
per acre over the life of the site, each acre of land can accommodate
1880 tons of sludge.
Land Use. The land

of some agricultural crops but should not hinder the agricultural
operations marketedly.
Agronomic Plan. The current agricultural operation on the sites
appear to be adequate. Current liming practices are satisfactory for
agricultural production; however, they are not adequate for sludge
projects. Additional lime must be added to the site prior to the
application of sludge. The soils in the area are naturally acidic and
the addition of approximately .5 tons of lime per acre per year should be
accomplished to keep the soil pH at or near optimum levels. The existing
agricultural operation of rotating crops is excellent as a receiver for
the sludge. Most crops can utilize the constituents in the sludge very
efficiently. Crops grown on the site must be harvested, and if sludge is
to be applied within 30 days of harvest, the crop should not be fed to
grazing dairy cattle.

This may interfere slightly with the cultivation
Conclusion
The land application facility for the Town of Belmont appears to be
a viable alternative. The amount of land required to assimilate the
sludge will depend on the volume of sludge generated per year.
Phosphorus appears to be the limiting constituent in this system on an
annual basis. Based on a loading of 4.5 tons of sludge per acre per
year, the land area required must be calculated directly from the sludge

Dear Mr. Howie:
With reference to the above mentioned project and in addition to the
information furnished through March 28, 1984, the following items must be
resolved prior to issuing a permit:
1. A complete EP toxicity test must be run and results for all parameters
reported. The lab report shall state that the EP toxicity was run in
accordance with the EPA procedures.
2. A complete sludge management plan is needed that includes method of
application, buffer zones, restrictions, loading rates, useful site
life, etc. This should be prepared by a recognized soil scientist and
agronomist. (See Attachments #1 & #3.)
Note: The complete EP toxicity analysis is to be furnished to the Division
of Health Services for_their review and judgement as to whether this
sludge is a hazardous waste.
The above items should be resolved as soon as possible so that your
project document can be completed without delay. Satisfactory plans and
specifications must be submitted to -.this office no later than May 28, 1984,
to prevent your project from being subject to return as incomplete.
If there are any questions concerning this project, please contact me

The Technical Services Unit of the Division of Environmental Management
has completed a toxicological static bioassay of composite effluent sample(s)
collected from the subject facility by the Mooresville Regional office on
April 20 , 1983.
The bioassay results indicate that the lethal concentration to kill
fifty percent of the control organisms (LC5np) was NONE and this result
does not indicate significant toxicity in the effluent sample for this date.
However, it should be noted that these results are used for screening only
and future tests may be scheduled -at your facility to determine any changes
in your present status. A copy of the test description and procedures is
attached for your reference.
