Dear Mr. Friday: d+;�ripv�f
In' accordance with a permit modification request received, 4i *t,P T^ - r'-lam on October
21, 2013, and subsequent additional information received December 23, 2013, we are forwarding
herewith a modified Attachment B, certified December 31, 2013, to the City of Mt. Holly for the subject
residuals land application program.
This certification is being issued to modify Attachment B by modifying Site NC-LT-46-2 from
44.6 acres to 45.2 acres; by modifying Site NC-LT-46-4 from 8.2 acres to 19.4 acres; and by adding new
land application sites NC-LT-46-01 (11.8 acres), NC-LT-46-03 (9.9 acres), NC-LT-46-05 (7.9 acres),
NC-LT-46-06 (5.4 acres), NC-LT-46-07 (7.0 acres), and NC-LT-46-08 (6.6 acres). New Site NC-LT-46-
08 is composed of a portion of Site NC-GA-42-05, which was removed from the permit by way of the
Attachment B (modified) certification issued on July 26, 2013. All of these changes -together result in an
increase of 60.4 acres, changing the total acreage from 247.8 acres to 308.2 acres.
Please replace the existing Attachment B of Permit No. WQ0001863 that was previously certified
on July 26, 2013, with this modified Attachment B, and attach accompanying Figures 1 through 5. Note
that it is the Permittee's responsibility to ensure that a complete permit is created by inserting this
modified Attachment B and the accompanying five Figures into Permit No. WQ0001863, issued on
September 23, 2011.
This modified Attachment B shall be effective from the date of certification; shall void
Attachment B of Permit No_ WQ0001863 that was previously certified on July 26, 2013; and shall be
subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein and well as those specified in the above -
referenced permit.
If any parts, requirements, and/or limitations contained in this certification or modified
Attachment B are unacceptable, you have the right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written
request within 30 days following receipt of the certification. This request shall be in the form of a written

Re: Land Application of Residuals Program Permit Modification
City of Mount Holly - Permit #WQ0001863
Dear Ms. Schutte:
On behalf of the City of Mt Holly, Synagro Central, LLC is submitting this
response to a request for additional information regarding our application for
modification of the referenced permit. The request for additional information was
in an email sent by David Goodrich today (a "hard copy" of that email follows
this page).
As requested, I have enclosed revised form RLAP, form LASC, and the site
summary. Additionally, I have enclosed revised application area maps for the
affected fields. I have not enclosed revised topographic and soil maps, as the
acreage change only amounted to a total of 1.6 acres. The revisions on the soil
and topographic maps are too insignificant (at the scale used) to justify printing
new copies. However, if you deem it necessary, let me know and I will supply
revised copies.
Regarding the access issues listed, these are operational issues that will be worked
through by the landowner and/or Synagro. I do concur that it should be
documented that there are issues with some of the fields.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please feel free to
contact me at [phone] or via e-mail at [e-mail].

WQ0001863
Attachments: WQ0001863 Mount Holly Permit Modification.
Mr. Thompson,
A recent field visit was performed by our Regional Office, and we are requesting additional information regarding some
of the application areas.
Please furnish us with site detail maps which include the following buffers, and make any resulting adjustments in
acreage to the RLAP Form, the LASC Form, and the Site Summary Sheet before January 21, 2014.
NC-LT-46-07 — a buffer is needed for a ditch, on the West side of the property, that turns North and leads to stream.
Field NC-LT-46-02 —There are off -property Log Cabin/Homes that need a buffer. There is also an on -site
depression/eroded area that could funnel residuals into buffers and drop-off at a wooded area —this could also be a
hazard for LA vehicles — unless the farmer can repair or grade this area. Homes and this depression are located at the
North side of field 2 and the buffer for the homes may encompass the depressed area. The areas affected may be large
nough to alter the acreage of this field.
Fields NC-LT-46-02 & NC-LT-46-01— There is a well House across road on property that is still owned by the farmer,
located west of Field 2 and North of Field 1. The required buffer is unlikely to change the acreage of these fields.
There are also some potential access issues to address with the land owner —for fields 5 (overgrown) and 7 (treacherous
access across stream).
If any of these changes are not needed, please explain the situation in your response.
Thank you.
Regards,
David Goodrich

Re: Land Application of Residuals Program Permit Modification
City of Mount Molly - Permit #WQ0001863
Dear Mr. Risgaard:
On behalf of the City of Mt Holly, Synagro Central, LLC is submitting this
application for modification of the referenced permit. Listed below are the
requested modifications to the existing permit:
Vi 1. Delete NC-GA-42-05. A portion of this field (6.6 net acres) to be
modified/renamed to site NC-LT-46 as field 8. (cumulative loadings
enclosed).
2. Add field 1 to NC-LT-46 (11.8 net acres)
284 Boger Road 3. Modify field 2 of NC-LT-46 from 44.6 acres to 46.6 acres and field 4 from
Mocksville, NC' 27028 8.2 acres to 19.4 acres. Total area for both fields is currently listed as 52.8
877. 267. 2687 acres. Our new maps indicate 66.0 acres. This amounts to an increase of
336.998.8450 20 percent (this acreage increase occurs due to the use of GIS with an
www.synagro.com improved mapping base). Field 4 increased a larger proportion due to a
different field boundary between the two fields (new boundary is about
600 feet to the west of the current boundary). The current boundary is
shown on the map in the wrong location. .
4. Add field 03 to NC-LT-46 (9.9 net acres)
5. Add field 05 to NC-LT-46 (7.9 net acres)
6. Add field 06 to NC-LT-46 5.4 net acres
7. Add field 07 to NC-LT-46 (7.2 net acres)
p' Please note that no changes have occurred in the treatment, testing and
monitoring, handling, land application methods, or any other aspect of residuals
X9management. Refer to the table of contents for complete documentation of
attachments. If you have any questions or require additional information, please
feel flee to contact me at [phone] or via e-mail at

Understanding the Soil Report: explanation of measurements, abbreviations and units
Recommendations
Lime
If testing finds that soil pH is too low for the crop(s) indicated, a lime recommendation will be given in units of either
ton/acre or Ib/1000 sq ft. For best results, mix the lime into the top 6 to 8 inches of soil several months before planting.
For no -till or established plantings where this is not possible, apply no more than 1 to 1.5 ton/acre (50 Ib/1000 sq ft) at
one time, even if the report recommends more. You can apply the rest in similar increments every six months until the
full rate is applied. If MG is recommended and lime is needed, use dolomitric lime.
Fertilizer
Recommendations for field crops or otherlarge areas are listed separately for each nutrient to be added (in units of
lb/acre unless otherwise specified). Recommendations for N (and sometimes for B) are based on research/field studies
for the crop being grown, not on soil test results. K-1 and P-1 values are based on test results and should be: > 50. If they
are not, follow the fertilizer recommendations given. If Mg is needed and no lime is recommended, 0-0-22 (11.5% Mg) is
an excellent source; '175 to 250 lb per acre alone or in a fertilizer blend will usually satisfy crop needs, SS-1 levels appear
only on reports for greenhouse soil or problem samples.
Farmers and other commercial producers should pay special attention to micronutrient levels. If $, pH$, $pH, C or Z-
notations appear on the soil report, refer to $Note: Secondary Nutrients and Micronutrients. In general, homeowners do not
need to be concerned about micronutrients. Various crop notes also address lime fertilizer needs; visit
ncagr.gov/agronomi/pubs.htm,
Recommendations for small areas, such as home lawns/gardens, are listed in units of Ib/1000 ft. If you cannot fired
the exact fertilizer grade recommended on the report, visit www.ncagrgov/agronomi/obnart4.htm#fs to find information
that may help you choose a comparable alternate. For more information, read A Homeowner's Guide to Fertilizer.
Test Results
The first seven values [soil class, HM%, W/V, CEC, BS%, Ac and pH] describe the soil and its degree of acridity. The
remaining 16 [P-I, K-I, Ca%, Mg%, Mn-I, Mn-All, Mn-AI2, Zn-I, Zn-AI, Cud, S-I, SS -I, Na, ESP, SS -I, NO3-N (riot
routinely available)] indicate levels of plant nutrients or other fertility measurement. Visit www.ncagrgov/agronomi/uyrst.htm

WQ#0001863
SOIL SCIENTIST CERTIFICATION
This is to certify that soil and site evaluations (listed below) were conducted on the
proposed application sites for the City of Mount Holly by Synagro Central, LLC.
The evaluations consisted of hand auger borings and descriptions of the soils on
the application sites; collection of soil fertility samples using standard soil
sampling methods; location of property lines, residences, wells, and surface water
features; identification of required buffer areas, and generation of application area
maps. All hand auger borings included in this package were either performed by
me or under my direct supervision.

AGRONO MIST REPORT
Synagro Central, LLC is operating a land application program for the recyclingibeneficial reuse of
residuals produced by The City of Holly Spring's wastewater and water treatment plants. The
agronomist report is submitted as a crucial step in the review of potential receiver sites for the
program. Several factors should be taken into consideration in deterinining a site's suitability to
receive residuals. These factors are:
o Site Investigation
® Topography
o Soils
o Residuals Characteristics and Loading Rates
o Crop Management
Site Investigation
The site investigation consisted of a physical observation of each proposed site in which the
following parameters were evaluated:
CD Soil Characteristics
© Slope
o Cropping Systems
• Location of Property Lines
a Location of Residences
m Location of Wells and Surface Water Features
Site specific information is enclosed for each site evaluated. Application area maps delineating
the proposed application areas within each field are also enclosed.
Topography
The slopes of each field were evaluated during the site investigation. Slopes for the individual
fields range from 0 to 10 percent for surface application and 0 to 18 percent for sub -surface
injection. Areas with excessive slopes have been eliminated from the application areas.
Soils
Soil fertility samples were collected from each field and were analyzed for standard soil fertility
parameters and regulated metals content. Soil testing of the sites included in this application
indicates that the soil pH is moderately acidic on some sites. The pH of these sites will be
adjusted by the addition of agricultural lime in order to achieve optimal crop production. The
lime recommendations are generally made based on raising the pH to a minimum of 6.0.

Residuals Characteristics and Loading Rates
Residuals samples are collected as required on "Attachment A" and analyzed by an independent
laboratory. The residuals analysis report and calculations indicate that they are non -hazardous
and non -toxic. Both the soils and the crops should be able to assimilate the proposed loadings of
liquids, solids, nitrogen, phosphorus, heavy metals, and salts known to be in the residuals. This
assessment is based on the residuals analysis provided, planned application rates, proper crop
management guidelines, and adherence to permit requirements. On an annual basis, nitrogen is
considered to be the most limiting characteristic of these residuals. However, soil tests should be
reviewed annually.
Crop Management
Based on the site and soil evaluations, crop nutrient requirements and the nutrient content of the
residuals, all sites should readily assimilate the residuals. However, crop rotations and
management practices should be evaluated prior to each application to account for any changes
in crop management and land use objectives. Site -specific cropping patterns are discussed
further in the Site Descriptions contained in the Site Summary Sheet. Crop management
guidelines that will be of importance for these -sites will include:
© timing of application events with plant nutritional needs and periods of plant dormancy
© split applications to prevent hydraulic overloading or nutrient leaching
o . performance of proper stabilization methods to fit crop and soil needs
e maintenance of suitable vegetative cover on current agricultural sites
o incorporation or injection of residual solids on fields that have a potential for flooding
© maintenance of proper vegetative cover on more sloping areas with runoff potential
o proper coordination between application events and crop harvest
Land application should provide an environmentally acceptable means of beneficial reuse of the
residuals, provided all the parameters of the agronomist report and the requirements of the permit
are followed.

10. Bulk residuals and other sources of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) shall not be applied in
exceedance of agronomic rates. Appropriate agronomic rates shall be calculated using expected
nitrogen requirements based on the determined Realistic Yield Expectations (RYE) using any of the
following methods:
a. Division's pre -approved. site specific historical data for specific crop or soil types by calculating
the mean of the best three yields of the last five consecutive crop harvests for each field.
b. North Carolina Historical Data for specific crop and soil types as provided by North Carolina
State University Department of Soil Science (http://www.soil.ncsu.edu/programs/=p//yieldsn. A
copy shall be kept on file and reprinted every five years in accordance with Condition IV.7.
c. If the RYE cannot be determined using methods (a) or (b) above, the Permittee may use the RYE
and appropriate nutrient application 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 the Senate Bill 1217 Interagency Group - Guidance
Document: Chapter 1(http://www.enr.state.ne.us/DSWC/pages/guidance docs.html).
iii. Certified Nutrient Management Plan as outlined by the Natural Resources Conservation
Services (MRCS). These plans must meet the USDA-NRCS 590 Nutrient Management
Standards(ftp://ftp-fc.se.egov.usda.gov/NHQ/practice-standards/standards/590.pdf).
d. If the RYE and appropriate nutrient application rates cannot be determined, the Permittee shall
contact the Division to determine necessary action.
11. When residuals are land applied to grazed pasture, hay crop realistic nitrogen rate shall be reduced by
25% in accordance with the USDA-NRCS 590 Nutrient Management 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 of PAN at a rate not to exceed 50 pounds per acre per year (lbs/ac/yr). This practice may
be allowed as long as the second crop is to be harvested or grazed. If the second crop is to be planted
for erosion control only and is to be tilled into the soil, then no additional PAN shall be applied.
13. Prior to land application of residuals containing a sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) of 10 or higher, the
Permittee shall obtain and implement recommendations from at least one of the following: the local
Cooperative Extension Office; the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services; the Natural
Resource Conservation Service; a North Carolina Licensed Soil Scientist; or an agronomist. The
recommendations shall address the sodium application rate, soil amendments (e.g., gypsum, etc.), or a
mechanism for maintaining site integrity and conditions conducive to crop growth. The Permittee
shall maintain written records of these recommendations and details of their implementation.
14. The compliance boundary residual land application sites shall be specified in accordance with 15A
NCAC 02L .0107(b). These sites were individually permitted on or after December 30, 1983;
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 NCAC 02L .0108, the review boundary shall be established midway between
the compliance boundary and the residual land application area. Any exceedance of groundwater
standards at the review boundary shall require action in accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0106.

1. The Permittee shall provide adequate inspection and maintenance to ensure proper operation of the
subject facilities and shall be in accordance with the approved O&M Plan.
2. Prior to each bulk residuals land application event, the Permittee or his designee shall inspect the
residuals storage, transport and application facilities to prevent malfunctions, facility deterioration
and operator errors resulting in discharges, which may cause the release of wastes to the
environment, a threat to human health or a public nuisance. The Permittee shall maintain an
inspection log that includes, at a minimum, the date and time of inspection, observations made, and
any maintenance, repairs, or corrective actions taken. The Permittee shall maintain this inspection log
for a period of five years from the date of inspection, and this log shall be made available to the
Division upon request.
3. Any duly authorized Division representative may, upon presentation of credentials, enter and inspect
any property, premises or place on or related to the land application sites or facilities permitted herein
at any reasonable time for the purpose of determining compliance with this permit; may inspect or
copy any records required to be maintained under the terms and conditions of this permit; and may
collect groundwater, surface water or leachate samples.
VI. GENERAL CONDITIONS
1. Failure to comply with the conditions and limitations contained herein may subject the Permittee to
an enforcement action by the Division in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes 143-
215.6A to 143-215.6C.
2. This permit shall become voidable if the residuals land application events are not carried out in
accordance with the conditions of this permit.
This permit is effective only with respect to the nature and volume of residuals described in the
permit application and other supporting documentation.
4. The issuance of this permit does not exempt the Permittee from complying with any and all statutes,
rules, regulations, or ordinances, which may be imposed by other jurisdictional government agencies
(e.g., local, state, and federal). Of particular concern to the Division are applicable river buffer rules
in 15A NCAC 02B .0200; erosion and sedimentation control requirements in 15A NCAC Chapter 4
and under the Division's General Permit NCGO10000; any requirements pertaining to wetlands under
15A NCAC 02B .0200 and 02H .0500; and documentation of compliance with Article 21 Part 6 of
Chapter 143 of the General Statutes.
5. In the event the residuals program changes ownership or the Permittee changes their name, a formal
permit modification request shall be submitted to the Division. This request shall be made on official
Division forms, and shall include appropriate documentation from the parties involved and other
supporting documentation as necessary. The Permittee of record shall remain fully responsible for
maintaining and operating the residuals program permitted herein until a permit is issued to the new
owner.
WQ0001863 Version 2.1 Shell Version 101116 Page 11 of 12

6. This permit is subject to revocation or unilateral modification upon 60 days notice from the Division
Director, in whole or part for the requirements listed in 15A NCAC 02T .0110.
Unless the Division Director grants a variance, expansion of the permitted residuals program
contained herein shall not be granted if the Permittee exemplifies any of the criteria in 15A NCAC
02T .0120(b).
The Permittee shall pay the annual fee within 30 days after being billed by the Division. Failure to
pay the annual fee accordingly shall be cause for the Division to revoke this permit pursuant to 15A
NCAC 02T .0105(e)(3).

1. Maximum Dry Tons per Year is the amount of residuals approved for land application from each permitted facility.
2. Analyses to demonstrate that residuals are non -hazardous (i.e., TCLP, ignitability, reactivity, and corrosivity) as stipulated under permit Condition IV.2.
3. Testing of metals and nutrients as stipulated under permit Condition IV.3.
4. Analyses of pathogen and vector attraction reductions as stipulated under permit Condition IVA.
5. Monitoring frequencies are based on the actual dry tons applied per year using the table below, unless specified above.

6. Water Treatment Plant residuals are exempt from meeting the vector attraction reduction requirements in Condition IVA, provided they are not mixed with residuals that have been generated
during the treatment of domestic wastewater, the treatment of animal processing wastewater, or the biological treatment of industrial wastewater. The Water Treatment Plant residuals must be
treated and processed in a manner as to not meet the definition of "Biological Residuals" as defined in 15A NCAC 02T .1102(6).
7. The Division understands that the equalization basin is cleaned once every five to seven years. The entire 280 dry tons per year of residuals that accumulate in the basin (i.e., 56 dry tons per year
during a Five year permit cycle) may be removed and land applied during a single calendar year, with no subsequent land application events during the remainder of the permit cycle. Residual
sample(s) and verification of compliance with the pathogen reduction and vector attraction requirements of the residuals shall be taken/performed separately from those taken lbr/performed on
the residuals generated by the activated sludge process in the year(s) that land application occurs. The Permittee shall take care to lake representative sample(s) of the accumulated residuals to
account for any variability in location and depth within the basin.
If no land application events occur during a required sampling period (e.g. no land application occur during an entire year when annual monitoring is
required), then no sampling data is required during the period of inactivity. The annual report shall include an explanation for missing sampling data.
Those required to submit the annual report to EPA may be required to make up the missed sampling, contact the EPA for additional information and
clarification.

Land Application of Residual Solids (503)
Gaston County
In accordance with the permit renewal and modification application package received on
December 23, 2004; the amended permit modification application package received on September 23,
2005 and October .13, 2005; as well as the additional- information received on October 14, 2005;
November 8, 2005; and November 10, 2005; we are forwarding herewith a renewed and modified Permit
No. WQ0001863, dated December 6, 2005, to the City of Mount Holly for the subject residuals land
application program.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until November 30, 2010; shall void
Permit No. WQ0001863, issued on December 28; 1999 and subsequently corrected on February 12, 2001
and November 8, 2002; and, shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein. Make
note of this permit's expiration date and the fact that a permit renewal application is due to the Division of
Water Quality (Division) no later than six months prior to that date (i.e., see Condition VI. 7.), as the
Division does not send reminders to apply for permit renewal. It should be noted that the package to
apply for this permit modification and renewal was submitted after the expiration date of the
previous issuance of this permit (i.e., a complete package was received on December 23, 2004 versus
an expiration date of November 30, 2004). A request to extend the previous issuance of this permit
until December 31, 2004 was made to and granted by the Division; however, this request was not
received until November 22, 2004, which was almost six months after a permit renewal application
package was due. The Permittee should make a better effort to monitor permit expiration dates in
the future to avoid potential enforcement action for failing to submit a timely renewal as well as
operating the residuals land application program without a valid permit.
This permit approves the continued operation of the residuals land application program for
another five-year cycle. Several previously -permitted land application sites (i.e., Site Nos. 04, 07, 08, 13,
GD Field Nos. 01 through 09, MH 02-03, MH 03-01, and MH 03-03), which totaled 159.10 net acres in
Gaston. County are not being renewed for continued -use.. The remaining previously -permitted land
application sites are being renewed; however, this permit reflects a change in the site identification
numbering method for some of the renewed sites (i.e., Site Nos. 06, 09, 10, and 14 are now referred to as
Site Nos. MH 01-06, MH 01-09, MH 01-10, and MH 01-14, respectively) as well as a his permit reflects
a change in ownership -of these same sites (i.e., from John S. Springs Estate to Thomas W. Springs, III.).

Mr. Donald R. Price

This permit is also' being modified to approve 52.80 net acres of additional land application sites
to the residuals land application program. The sites (i.e., Site Nos. MH 06-02 and MH 06-04) are located
in Lincoln County and were previously approved to receive residuals through the City of Belmont's
residuals land application program (i.e., formerly Site Nos. Bt6-02 and Bt6-04 in Permit No.
WQ0003281). These sites are transferred with some modifications that are now reflected in this permit
including a change in ownership (i.e., from Mr. North Jones to Mr. Tony Jones) as well as acreage
changes resulting from more accurate area determination methods (i.e., net increase in acres when totaled
across both sites). With the additions and deletions, this program now has a total of 215.40 net acres of
land available for residuals application.
As always, remember to take the time to review this permit thoroughly, as some of the
conditions contained therein may have been added, changed, or deleted since the last issuance. Pay
particular attention to the monitoring requirements in this permit. Failure to establish an adequate system
for collecting and maintaining the required operational information will result in future compliance
problems. Of particular interest to you may be the following:
♦ Condition II. 13.: This condition requires that residuals be land applied at rates that are
agronomically justifiable. As the volume of land applied residuals approaches the maximum
allowed under this permit, the Division is concerned that the Permittee may not have the
capacity and flexibility in this residuals land application program, as currently approved, to
meet this condition in years that the equalization basin at the Mount Holly WWTP is cleaned
out. The Permittee may want to keep track and monitor applications carefully and account
for nitrogen carryover in land application sites that are used repeatedly in successive calendar
years. The Perrnittee may want to review the capacity and flexibility of its program and make
future adjustments if the land applied volume of residuals increases during this permit cycle
in order to avoid the potential to contravene surface water and groundwater quality standards.
♦ Condition III. 5.: From reviewing the sampling/monitoring plan that was presented in your
permit renewal/modification application package as well as the data submitted in the annual
report for the 2004 calendar year, the Division questions whether sufficient and appropriate
data is being gathered to demonstrate complete compliance with this permit as well as 40
CFR Part 503 with respect to type, number, and timing of the samplinghnonitoring
completed. Some examples include:
✓ Because the equalization basin at the Mount Holly WWTP is not an aerobic or anaerobic
digester, 40 CFR §503.33 (b)(1) (i.e., 38 percent volatile solids reduction) cannot be used
to demonstrate the residuals' compliance with a vector attraction reduction alternative.
Per guidance published by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, credit for
volatile solids reduction may only be taken in the residuals treatment process and not in
the wastewater treatment process. For this reason, it is not correct to sample the
wastewater that is influent to the equalization basin and then compare the resultant
volatile solids fraction to that of the residuals in the bottom of the basin. Based on a
review of this package, the Division's opinion is that residuals from the basin must either
be injected (i.e., 40 CFR §503.33 (b)(9)) or incorporated (i.e., 40 CFR §503.33 (b)(10)) in
order to meet the vector attraction reduction requirement in this permit and the federal
regulations.
✓ If the two aerobic digesters at the Mount Holly WWTP are being operated in parallel and
if residuals are being removed and land applied from both digesters, in a. single calendar
year, it may be necessary to sample/monitor both digesters. This is especially vital for
ensuring compliance with the pathogen reduction and vector attraction reduction
requirements, as performance may vary across digesters.

Mr. Donald R. Price
December 6, 2005
Page 3
✓ The Permittee may want to consider monitoring the volatile solids fraction of the
residuals that are influent to the aerobic digesters at the Mount Holly WWTP more often
that immediately prior to a land application event in order to ensure that the final
"snapshot" is truly representative of the volatile solids loading that the digesters receive
during the monitoring period. In this way, the Permittee may ensure complete
compliance with the 38 percent volatile solids reduction requirement in a more process -
oriented fashion.
The Division recommends that the residuals sampling/monitoring plan be reviewed and
adjusted so that potential future enforcement action may be avoided. There are several
technical guidances and operator tools available that may be of interest; and your land
applier's technical consultant or your inspector at the Aquifer Protection Section of the
Division's Mooresville Regional Office may be of assistance to you as well.
♦ Footnote c. of Attachment A: Because this data was not included with the permit
renewal/modification application package as was requested, this footnote condition requires
that certain analytical results for the residuals from the equalization basin at the Mount Holly
WWTP be submitted to the Division for review. The residuals may not be land applied until
the receipt of the analytical results and approval of the residuals acceptability for land
application is, provided to the Permittee in writing.
♦ Footnote a. of Attachment B: This footnote condition requires that updated cumulative
pollutant loading rate (CPLRs) information for Site No. 02-01 or, alternately, a statement that
certifies that this site has never been used for residuals land application be received by the
Division within 30 calendar days of this permit's issuance. This information was not

iI

10. 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 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.
11. Prior to land applying residuals to any land application site -that has previously received or is
intended to receive animal waste (e.g., poultry litter, etc.) or other source of nutrients (e.g.,
fertilizer, etc.) in the future, the Permittee shall obtain information pertaining to the volume
and analysis of the applied waste/nutrients from the landowner and/or lessee/operator of the
site. The Permittee shall be responsible for verifying the volume of residuals that may be land
applied to the site such that the plant available nitrogen (PAN) loading rate for the specified
crop (i.e.,-see Condition II. 13.) shall not be exceeded by all of the sources of PAN applied.
Should the maximum PAN loading rate be met or exceeded, then no additional residuals shall
be land applied to the site.
12. A suitable vegetative cover, as listed in Condition II. 13., shall be maintained on land
application sites onto which residuals are land applied 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 and as approved by the Division.

residuals on any land application site that is to be established in a crop other than those listed
above. A maximum PAN loading rate for the desired crop shall be approved with the permit
modification.
If the land application sites are to be overseeded (e.g., bennuda 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.
Residuals shall not be land applied at rates greater than agronomic rates, unless authorized by
the Division.
14. Animals shall not be grazed on any land application site 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.

months after any residuals land application event.

I.T.
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.
" 18.
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 forJess than four months prior, to incorporation into the soil.
19.

Surface -applied residuals . shall be plowed or disced within .24 hours after land application on
land application sites with no cover crop established.
23.
For land application sites that are prone to flooding or within the' 100-year flood elevation,
residuals shall be land applied only during periods of dry weather., The residuals shall be
incorporated into the soil within 24 hours after land application.
24.
Residuals shall not be land applied during inclement weather or until 24 hours following a.
rainfall, event of 0.5-inch or greater in 24 hours. Any emergency residuals land application
measures shall first be approved in writing by the Division.
25.
Residuals shall not be land. applied to: any land application site that is flooded, frozen, or
snow-covered.
- 26. -.
Appropriate measures shall be .taken to control public access to the land application, sites
during active site use and for the 12-month period following the last residuals land application
event. , Such controls. may. include the posting of signs indicating the activities being
conducted at each site.

IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
1. Land Application Site Requirements:
a. Each land application site identified with a GW-A in the most recently -certified
Attachment B of this permit is dominated by soils with a mean seasonal high water table
greater than three feet below the land surface. Residuals land application events may
occur on these sites throughout the year.
b. Each land application site identified with a GW-B in the most recently -certified
Attachment B of this permit is dominated by soils with a mean seasonal high water table
between one and three feet below the land surface. - Residual land application events on
these sites shall be prohibited from December through March, inclusive. No residuals
shall be land applied to these sites when the vertical separation between the depth of
residuals land application and the water table is less than three feet. The actual water
table depth for seasonally -restricted soils shall be verified by soil borings within 24 hours
prior to any residuals land application event that occurs from April through November,
inclusive. The number of borings advanced shall be sufficient to characterize water table
conditions across the land application site adequately. Any open borings shall be properly
filled with native soil, prior to the residuals land application event, to decrease the chance
of any residuals contaminating the groundwater.
11

2. Applicable Boundary Requirements:
a. 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. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality
Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to immediate remediation
action according to 15A NCAC 2L .0106 (d)(2).
b. 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).
Additional Requirements:
a. Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be
provided.
V. INSPECTIONS
Prior to each residuals land application event, the Permittee or his designee shall inspect the
residuals storage, transport, and application facilities to prevent malfunctions and
deterioration, operator errors, and discharges that may cause or lead to the release of wastes to
the environment, a threat to human health, or a nuisance. The Permittee shall maintain an
inspection log or summary including at least the date and time of inspection, observations
made, and any maintenance, repairs, or corrective actions taken by the Permittee. This log of
inspections shall be maintained by the Permittee for a period of five years from the date of the
inspection and shall be made available to the Division or other permitting authority, upon
request.
2. Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the Division may, upon
presentation of credentials, enter and inspect any property, premises, or place on or related to
the land application sites_ or facilities at any reasonable time for the purpose of determining
compliance with this permit; may inspect or copy any records that must be kept under the
terms and conditions of this permit; and may obtain samples of groundwater, surface water, or
leachate.
VI. GENERAL CONDITIONS
This permit shall become voidable unless the residuals land application events are carried out
in accordance with the conditions of this permit, the supporting materials, and in the manner
approved by the Division.
2. This permit shall be effective only with respect to the nature and volume of residuals described
in the application and other supporting data.

may be removed and land applied during a single calendar year, with no subsequent land application events during die remainder of the permit cycle. Residual sample(s) and verification of compliance with the pathogen reduction and
vector attraction requirements of the residuals shall be taken/perfomted separately from those taken for/performed on die residuals generated by the activated sludge process in the year(s) that land application occurs. The Pernittee
shall take care to take representative sample(s) of the accumulated residuals to account for any variability in location and depth within die basin.
` Prior to land applying any residuals from this residuals source -generating facility, the Petrittee shall conduct corrosivity, ignitability, and reactivity analyses of the residuals. No residuals from this facility shall be land applied until
the analytical results are provided to and acknowledged in writing by the Division. Two copies of the analytical results shall be sent to the NCDENR-DWQ, Aquifer Protection Section, Land Application Unit,
c/o LAU Residuals Program Coordinator, 1636 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1636.

Subject: Permit No. WQ0001863
City of Mount Holly
City of Mount Holly Residuals
Land Application Program
Land Application of Residual Solids (503)
Gaston County .
In accordance with the permit renewal and modification application package received on
December 23, 2004; the amended permit modification application package received on September 23,
2005 and October .13, 2005; as well as the additional information received on October 14, 2005;
November 8, 2005; and November 10, 2005; we are forwarding herewith a renewed and modified Permit
No. WQ0001863, dated December 6, 2005, to the City of Mount Holly for the subject residuals land
application program.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until �FMTFFT ?Fr 3(],,, -0 Or'- shall void
Permit No. WQ0001863, issued on December 28, 1999 and subsequently corrected on February 12, 2001
and November 8, 2002; and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein. Make
note of this permit's expiration date and the fact that a permit renewal application is due to the Division of
Water Quality (Division) no later than six months prior to that date (i.e., see Condition VI. 7.), as the
Division does not send reminders to apply for permit renewal. It should be noted that the package to
apply for this permit modification and renewal was submitted after the expiration date of the
previous issuance of this permit (i.e., a complete package was received on December 23, 2004 versus
an expiration date of November 30, 2004). A request to extend the previous issuance of this permit
until December 31, 2004 was made to and granted by the Division; however, this request was not
received, until November 22, 2004, which was almost six months after a permit renewal application
package was due. The Permittee should make a better effort to monitor permit expiration dates in
the future to avoid potential enforcement action for failing to submit a timely renewal as well as
operating the residuals land application program without a valid permit.
This permit approves the continued operation of the residuals land application program for
another five-year cycle. Several previously -permitted land application sites (i.e., Site Nos. 04, 07, 08, 13,
GD Field Nos. 01 through 09, MH 02-03, MH 03-01, and MH 03-03), which totaled 159.10 net acres in
Gaston County are not being renewed for continued use.. The remaining previously -permitted land
application sites are being renewed; however, this permit reflects a change in the site identification
numbering method for some of the renewed sites (i.e., Site Nos. 06, 09, 10, and 14 are now referred to as
Site Nos. MH 01-06, MH 01-09, MH 01-10, and MH 01-14, respectively) as well as a his permit reflects
a change in ownership of these same sites (i.e., from John S. Springs Estate to Thomas W. Springs, III.).

This permit is also being modified to approve 52.80 net acres of additional land application sites
to the residuals land application program. The sites (i.e., Site Nos. MH 06-02 and MH 06-04) are located
in Lincoln County and were previously approved to receive residuals through the City of Belmont's
residuals land application program (i.e., formerly Site Nos. Bt6-02 and Bt6-04 in Permit No.
WQ0003281). These sites are transferred with some modifications that are now reflected in this permit
including a change in ownership (i.e., from Mr. North Jones to Mr. Tony Jones) as well as acreage
changes resulting from more accurate area determination methods (i.e., net increase in acres when totaled
across both sites). With the additions and deletions, this program now has a total of 215.40 net acres of
land available for residuals application.
As always, remember to take the time to review this permit thoroughly, as some of the
conditions contained therein may have been added, changed, or deleted since the last issuance. Pay
particular attention to the monitoring requirements in this permit. Failure to establish an adequate system
for collecting and maintaining the required operational information will result in future compliance
problems. Of particular interest to you may be the following:
♦ Condition II. 13.: This condition requires that residuals be land applied at rates that are
agronomically justifiable. As the volume of land applied residuals approaches the maximum
allowed under this permit, the Division is concerned that the Permittee may not have the
capacity and flexibility in this residuals land application program, as currently approved, to
meet this condition in years that the equalization basin at the Mount Holly WWTP is cleaned
out. The Permittee may want to keep track and monitor applications carefully and account
for nitrogen carryover in land application sites that are used repeatedly in successive calendar
years. The Permittee may want to review the capacity and flexibility of its program and make
future adjustments if the land applied volume of residuals increases during this permit cycle
in order to avoid the potential to contravene surface water and groundwater quality standards.
♦. Condition III. 5.: From reviewing the sampling/monitoring plan that was presented in your
permit renewal/modification application package as well as the data submitted in the annual
report for the 2004 calendar year, the Division questions whether sufficient and appropriate
data is being gathered to demonstrate complete compliance with this permit as well as 40
CFR Part 503 with respect to type, number, and timing of the sampling/monitoring
completed. Some examples include:
✓ Because the equalization basin at the Mount Holly WWTP is not an aerobic or anaerobic
digester, 40 CFR §503.33 (b)(1) (i.e., 38 percent volatile solids reduction) cannot be used
to demonstrate the residuals' compliance with a vector attraction reduction alternative.
Per guidance published by the United States Environmental Protection Agency, credit for
volatile solids reduction may only be taken in the residuals treatment process and not in
the wastewater treatment process. For this reason, it is not correct to sample the
wastewater that is influent to the- equalization basin and then compare the resultant
volatile solids fraction to that of the residuals in the bottom of the basin. Based on a
review of this package, the Division's opinion is that residuals from the basin must either
be injected (i.e., 40 CFR §503.33 (b)(9)) or incorporated (i.e., 40 CFR §503.33 (b)(10)) in
order to meet the vector attraction reduction requirement in this permit and the federal
regulations.
✓ If the two aerobic digesters at the Mount Holly WWTP are being operated in parallel and
if residuals are being removed and land applied from both digesters in a single calendar
year, it may be necessary to sample/monitor both digesters. This is especially vital for
ensuring compliance with the pathogen reduction and vector attraction reduction
requirements, as performance may vary across digesters.

Mr. Donald R. Price
December 6, 2005
Page 3
✓ The Permittee may want to consider monitoring the volatile solids fraction of the
residuals that are influent to the aerobic digesters at the Mount Holly WWTP more often
that immediately prior to a land application event in order to ensure that the final
"snapshot" is truly representative of the volatile solids loading that the digesters receive
during the monitoring period. In this way, the Permittee may ensure complete
compliance with the 38 percent volatile solids reduction requirement in a more process -
oriented fashion.
The Division recommends that the residuals sampling/monitoring plan be reviewed and
adjusted so that potential future enforcement action may be avoided. There are several
technical guidances and operator tools available that may be of interest, and your land
applier's technical consultant or your inspector at the Aquifer Protection Section of the
Division's Mooresville Regional Office may be of assistance to you as well.
♦ Footnote c. of Attachment A: Because this data was not included with the permit
renewal/modification application package as was requested, this footnote condition requires
that certain analytical results for the residuals from the equalization basin at the Mount Holly
WWTP be submitted to the Division for review. The residuals may not be land applied until
the receipt of the analytical results and approval of the residuals acceptability for land

on all land application sites onto which residuals are land applied to ensure optimum yield for
the crops specified in Condition II. 13. The agronomist shall provide information on the pH
best suited for the specified crop and the soil type.
10

10. 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 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.
11. Prior to land applying residuals to any land application site -that has previously received or is
intended to receive animal waste (e.g., poultry litter, etc.) or other source of nutrients (e.g.,
fertilizer, etc.) in the future,.the Permittee shall obtain information pertaining to the volume
and analysis of the applied waste/nutrients from the landowner and/or lessee/operator of the
site. The Permittee shall be responsible for verifying the volume of residuals that may be land
applied to the site such that the plant available nitrogen (PAN) loading rate for the specified
crop (i.e., see Condition II. 13.) shall not be exceeded by all of the sources of PAN applied.
Should the maximum PAN loading rate be met or exceeded, then no additional residuals shall
be land applied to the site.
12. A suitable vegetative cover, as listed in Condition II. 13., shall be maintained on land
application sites onto which residuals are land applied 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 and as approved by the Division.

The Permittee shall apply for and receive a modification of this permit before land applying
residuals on any land application site that is to be established in a crop other than those listed
above. A maximum PAN loading rate for the desired crop shall be approved with the permit
modification.
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.
Residuals shall not be land applied at rates greater than agronomic rates, unless authorized by
the Division.
14. Animals shall not be grazed on any land application site 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.
15. 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.
16. 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.
6

17. 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.
18. 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.
19. Turf shall not be harvested for one year after any residuals land application event.
20. 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.
21. Adequate procedures shall be provided to prevent surface runoff from carrying any land
applied or stored residuals into any surface waters.
22. Surface -applied residuals shall be plowed or disced within,24 hours after land application on
land application sites with no cover crop established.
23. For land application sites that are prone to flooding or within the 100-year flood elevation,
residuals shall be land applied only during periods of dry weather. The residuals shall be
incorporated into the soil within 24 hours after land application.
24. Residuals shall not be land applied during inclement weather or until 24 hours following a
rainfall event of 0.5-inch or greater in 24 hours. Any emergency residuals land application
measures shall first be approved in writing by the Division.
25. Residuals shall not be land applied to any land application site that is flooded, frozen, or
snow-covered.
26. Appropriate measures shallbe taken to control public access to the land application sites
during active site use and for the 12-month period following the last residuals land application
event. Such controls may include the posting of signs indicating the activities being
conducted at each site.

Noncompliance Notification:
The Pennittee shall report by telephone to the Aquifer Protection Section of the Division's
Mooresville Regional Office at telephone number [phone], as soon as possible, but in
no case more than 24 hours or on the next working day following the occurrence or first
knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following:
a. Any occurrence with the residuals land application program that results in the land
application. of significant amounts of residuals that are abnormal in quantity or
characteristic.
b. Any failure of the residuals land application program resulting in a release of material to
receiving waters.
c.. 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 program system was designed.
d. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that render the residuals land
application program incapable of adequate residuals treatment.
e. Any spillage or discharge from a vehicle or piping system transporting residuals to the
application site.
Occurrences outside of normal business hours (i.e., from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Mondays
through Fridays, except State Holidays) may also be reported to the Division's Emergency
Response personnel at one of the following telephone numbers [phone], (800) 858-

IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
Land Application Site Requirements:
a. Each land application site identified with a GW-A in the most recently -certified
Attachment B of this permit is dominated by soils with a mean seasonal high water table
greater than three feet below the land surface. Residuals land application events_ may
occur on these sites throughout the year.
b. Each land application site identified with a GW-B in the most recently -certified
Attachment B of this permit is dominated by soils with a mean seasonal high water table
between one and three feet below the land surface. - Residual land application events on
these sites shall be prohibited from December through March, inclusive. No residuals
shall be land applied to these sites when the vertical separation between the depth of
residuals land application and the water table is less than three feet. The actual water
table depth for seasonally -restricted soils shall be verified by soil borings within 24 hours
prior to any residuals land application event that occurs from April through November,
inclusive. The number of borings advanced shall be sufficient to characterize water table
conditions across the land application site adequately. Any open borings shall be properly
filled with native soil, prior to the residuals land application event, to decrease.the chance
of any residuals contaminating the groundwater.
11

2. Applicable Boundary Requirements: -
a. 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. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality
Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to immediate remediation
action according to 15A NCAC 2L .0106 (d)(2).
b. 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).
Additional Requirements:
a. Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be
provided.
V. INSPECTIONS
Prior to each residuals land application event, the Permittee or his designee shall inspect the
residuals storage, transport, and application facilities to prevent malfunctions and
deterioration, operator errors, and discharges that may cause or lead to the release of wastes to .
the environment, a threat to human health, or a nuisance. The Permittee shall maintain an
inspection log or summary including at least the date and time of inspection, observations
made, and any maintenance, repairs, or corrective actions taken by the Permittee. This log of
inspections shall be maintained by the Permittee for a period of five years from the date of the
inspection and shall be made available to the Division or other permitting authority, upon
request.
Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the Division may, upon
presentation of credentials, enter and inspect any property, premises, or place on or related to
the land application sites. or facilities at any reasonable time for the purpose of determining
compliance with this permit; may inspect or copy any records that must be kept under the
terms and conditions of this permit; and may obtain samples of groundwater, surface water, or
leachate.
VI. GENERAL CONDITIONS

Subject: Permit No. WQ0001863 Temporary Approval
City of Mount Holly
City of Mount Holly Residuals
Land Application Program
Land Application of Residual Solids (503)
Gaston County
Dear Mr. Price:
On November 9, 2005, the Division of Water Quality (Division) received an e-mail request from
Mr. Dennis Key of Southern Soil Builders, Inc. regarding the above -referenced permit. Specifically, in
this request, Mr. Key described the Permittee's current situation with respect to its residuals land
application program and requested the Division's consideration to approve a temporary increase in the
maximum allowable volume of residuals from the Mount Holly Water Treatment Plant (WTP) that may
be land applied over that which is allowed by Permit No. WQ0001863, issued on December 28,1999 and
subsequently corrected on February 12, 2001 and November 8, 2002, on a temporary basis only.
This request for temporary approval has come about because no residuals were removed from the
Mount Holly WTP and land applied during the 2004 calendar year. Mr. Key's e-mail states that residuals
were not managed from this residuals source -generating facility because of the "lack of permitted [land
application] sites"(i.e., it should be noted that no effort to increase the availability of permitted land
application sites was made until the end of the 2004 calendar year). For this reason, there is now a
surplus of stored residuals requiring removal from the facility and land application under the conditions of
this permit. The request proposed that the maximum allowable volume of residuals that may be land
applied be increased to 260 dry tons per year (i.e., currently permitted at -130 dry tons per year) for the
2005 calendar year only.
Based on the residuals analysis presented in the permit renewal/modification application package
received on December 23, 2004, the design capacity of residuals land application program appears to be
sufficient to handle the increased volume of residuals to be land applied. In addition, Ms. Ellen Huffman
of the Aquifer Protection Section of the Division's Mooresville Regional Office, was consulted about the
request on November 16, 2005 and concurred with the issuance of this temporary approval.. As such,
under these very special circumstances and with significant reservation, the Division will allow the
temporary increase in the maximum allowable volume of residuals that may be removed from the Mount
Holly WTP and land applied as requested. This temporary approval shall be valid until December 31,
2005.

approval is a one-time ocdurrence in that more than the currently -permitted maximum allowable volume
of residuals from:theMount Holly WTP may not be land applied once this approval expires (i.e., on
•D"cember-31.; 2005)-unlegs a.formal permit modification is sought from and approved by the Division.
The Division urges the Permittee not only to review its residuals management program for
adequacy with respect to design capacity and applicability, but also to reflect on its residuals
management priorities to ensure that such emergency situations do not occur in the future.

Obviously, I have come full circle as how to handle this permit renewal/modification application
package. The monitoring issues that I described to you on the telephone will be addressed in the permit
cover letter. But, there are some issues that I do need in order to process the permit. Please address the
following items as soon as possible to facilitate that process:
Form RSCA (WWTP):
* Please confirm that the reported results for the Lindane from the TCLP should be <0.04 mg/L and
not >0.04 mg/L (i.e., see Item II.3. b.). It appears as if this is a typographical error.

I made a mistake in the e-mail below. I missed that Site No. 02-03 was listed as intended for deletion
from the program in Form LASCA. This means that the revised net acreage for the entire program
should be 215.4 (and not 235.0 as I previously indicated).
I apologize for the confusion,

Dear Mrs. Thornburg:
As a follow-up to my September 2005 letter, I have included the completed watershed
classification, received soil samples and modified LASCA to add the two new fields for
Mount Holly. Soil samples for these sites show slightly elevated pH but no nutrient or metal
problems due to previous applications.
Please contact us immediately if you require additional information or have questions in the
review of the permit application.

The heavy metal report is found on a separate page. Using Melilich 3 as a soil test extractant, background levels of
these metals typically seen in NC soils when analyzed are as follows: arsenic (As)- 5.0 ppm, cadmium (C(l)- 0.2
ppm, chromium (Cr)- 0.3 ppm, lead (Pb)- 4.0 ppm, nickel (Ni)- 0.7 ppm, & selenium (Se)- 0.2 ppm
(FY2003-2005). Although the above metals here are not believed to pose a concern for plant growth, continue to
monitor these and note where elevated above background levels.

Phosphorus level is low in sample MI6-4. Note the fertilizer recommendations. The pH level in these samples is
high enough to limit the availability of some essential plant nutrients especially micronutrients such as iron and
manganese. See NOTE $ for additional information. Tissue sampling is encouraged to monitor nutritional status of
these crop and to provide additional information and recommendations.

Dear Mrs. Thornburg:
Branch Residuals & Soils, LLC is under contract with Southern Soil Builders, Inc. to
provide assistance in the preparation of a land application permit renewal and modification
for the City of Mount Holly. During the execution of our duties, there was a
miscommunication regarding the fields to be included in the Mount Holly Land Application
Program. 'I supplied information to you in December 2004 regarding Field MH6-1 and
MH6-. These fields were previously in the Belmont Program. Directly across a farm road
are field, MH6-2 and MH64 that should have been added. I have prepared maps, and
revised forms to account for this problem. I will also send an updated watershed
classification form for the two additional fields as soon as it is completed by Ellen Huffrnan.
Also soils samples have been sent and will be forwarded to you as soon as I receive them.
I apologize for this correction and I hope this will not cause a problem with the review of
this permit. Please contact us immediately if you require additional information or have
questions in the review of the permit application.
Sincerely, D 2 Wa

TONY JONES FARM
TRACT MH6
SOILS AND AGRONOMY REPORT
There are two fields in this tract, Fields 2 and 4. This farm is located near the intersection of
June Dellinger Road and Hines Creek Circle, southwest of Lowesville. These fields are
transfers from the Belmont Land Application Program (formerly (BT6-2 and BT64) where
they have received applications previously. Both fields are utilized as fescue pasture and
have some areas that are not suitable due to slope but have been adequately buffered for
inclusion as year round fields.
Field investigations performed by a BR&S soil scientist concurred for the most part with the
mapping published in the Lincoln County Soil Survey. Both fields are mapped as Cecil and
Pacolet soils. My investigations and soil profile descriptions concur with the soil survey.
Detailed soil profile description from the investigation have been attached.
Soil samples have been sent to the North Carolina Department of Agriculture NCDA for
analysis and will be reported as soon as they are received. These fields should receive
nitrogen applications in accordance with the rates specified in the standard DWQ permit
shell.

On November 22, 2004, the Division of Water Quality (Division) received an e-mail correspondence
from Mr. Bob Branch of Branch Residuals & Soils, L.L.C., who is a technical consultant to the City of Mount
Holly's residuals management firm, Southern Soil Builders, Inc., regarding the above -referenced permit.
Specifically, in this correspondence, Mr. Branch requested that the City of Mount Holly be granted until
December 31, 2004 to submit a pennit renewal application package. The existing permit, which was issued on
December 28, 1999, expired on November 30, 2004. Condition VI. 7. of this permit requires that pen -nit
renewal be requested no later than 180 calendar days prior to permit expiration.
The requested extension is hereby granted. The City of Mount Holly shall now submit the permit
renewal application package no later than close of business on by December 31, 2004. Land application events
may continue under this extended perniit; however, note that all other conditions and limitations of Permit No.
WQ0001863, issued on December 28, 1999, shall be valid and binding. Please be aware that nothing in this
correspondence should be construed as removing the City of Mount Holly from the responsibility for
complying with its permit in fiull or as exempting it from potential enforcement action as a result of the failure
to submit a timely renewal application (i.e., 180 calendar days prior to permit expiration) or requesting an
extension prior to that time period. The Division does appreciate that the request for extension was made prior
to the permit actually expiring.
If you need any additional information concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me by
telephone at [phone] or via e-mail at [e-mail].
