Subject: Permit No. WQ001346 Emergency Approval
City of Monroe
Land Application of Residuals from the
Treatment of Wastewater
Union County
Dear Mr. Meadows:
On May 9, 2001, the Division of Water Quality (Division) received a request via facsimile from Mr.
Kim A. Hinson, Wastewater Treatment Plant Superintendent for the City of Monroe (City) regarding the above -
referenced permit. Specifically, Mr. Hinson described the City's current situation with respect to its residuals
land application program and requested the Division's consideration to approve acreage not presently permitted
to receive residuals by Permit No. WQ0001346, issued on March 22, 2000, for immediate use on an emergency
basis only.
It is the Division's understanding that this request for emergency approval has come about as the result
of several occurrences that have resulted in most of the agricultural land currently approved for land application
to be not currently available for use. These occurrences are summarized in the following table:

The City has been storing residuals at its wastewater treatment plant while it has been working with its
contractor, Synagro Southeast, Inc. (Synagro), to resolve the land limitation problems. At this point in time, Mr.
Hinson reports that approximately five million gallons of residuals have been stored with less than a week's
worth of volume available for use. Therefore, the need for an emergency approval is further supported by a duty
to protect water quality by avoiding the potential for operational and/or compliance problems at the wastewater
treatment plant.

Ms. Ellen Huffman of the Water Quality Section of the Division's Mooresville Regional Office
investigated each of the proposed land application sites and determined that they were all suitable for residuals
land application. Representatives from the Division's Groundwater Section have provided concurrence of Ms.
Huffman's determination.
For all of these reasons and the fact that the Division believes that the City acted in good faith to resolve
this situation by all other means possible prior to making this request, the Division will allow the
commencement of emergency land application activities on the above -listed fields. The land application
activities shall be limited to the application of up to 500 dry tons of residuals that need immediate removal from
the City's wastewater treatment plant (i.e., NPDES Permit No. NC0024333) and must occur within 30 days of
the date of this correspondence. Note that all other conditions and limitations of Permit No. WQ0001346,
issued on March 22, 2000, including any additional buffers identified by Ms. Huffman during her May 9, 2001
site inspection shall be valid and binding to these emergency land application activities. In addition, this
approval is a one-time occurrence in that Field Nos. UN-22-16, UN-22-17, and UN-55-7 shall not receive
additional residuals once this approval expires unless a formal permit modification is sought from and approved
by the Division. The Permittee is encouraged to permit additional acreage to the subject residuals land
application program in order to resolve.this situation as soon as possible.
If you need additional information concerning this matter, pled contact Ms. Shannon Mohr Thornburg
at [phone], extension 353.

1. The Mooresville Regional Office, telephone number 704-663-1699 and the appropriate local
governmental official (county manager/city manager) shall be notified at least twenty-four (24) hours
prior to the initial application of the residuals to a site so that an inspection can be made of the
application sites and application method. Such notification to the regional supervisor shall be made
during the normal office hours from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday, excluding
State Holidays. In addition, the Union County Manager's office must be notified prior to the initial
application so that they will be aware that the operation has commenced.
2. This permit shall become voidable if the soils fail to adequately assimilate the wastes and may be
rescinded unless the sites are maintained and operated in a manner which will protect the assigned
water quality standards of the surface waters and ground waters.
The land application program shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system
to prevent the discharge of any wastes resulting from the operation of this program.
4. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages to surface
or groundwaters resulting from the operation of this program. "�`

In the event that the land application program is not operated satisfactorily, including the creation of
nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall cease applying residuals to the sites and take any immediate
corrective actions as may be required by the Division of Water Quality (Division).
6. Some of the buffers specified below may not have been included in previous permits for this land
application operation. � However, any sites or fields that are included in this permit, bat were approved
with different applicable buffers shall be reflagged to comply with the below buffers. The following
buffer zones shall be maintained:

application method; however, the buffer zone requirement may be reduced to a minimum of 100
feet upon written consent of the owner and approval from the appropriate regional office,
b) 200 feet from residences or places of public assembly under separate ownership for subsurface
residual injection method; however, the buffer zone requirement may be reduced to a minimum of
100 feet upon written consent of the owner and the appropriate regional office,
c) 100 feet from any public or private water supply source, waters classified as SA or SB, and any
Class I or Class II impounded reservoir used as a source of drinking water for both methods,
d) 100 feet from any streams classified as WS or B, any other stream, canal, marsh or coastal waters
and any other lake or impoundment for surface application,
e) 50 feet from any streams classified as WS or B, any other stream, canal, marsh or coastal waters
and any other lake or impoundment for subsurface application,
f) 50 feet from property lines for both surface and subsurface application methods;
g) 50 feet from public right of ways for both application methods,
h) 10 feet from upslope interceptor drains and surface water diversions for both application methods,
i) 25 feet from downslope interceptor drains, surface water diversions, groundwater drainage systems
and surface drainage ditches for both application methods.
7. A copy of this permit shall be maintained at the land application site when residuals are being applied
during the life of this permit. A spill prevention and control plan shall be maintained in all residuals
transport and application vehicles.
8. Specific residual application area boundaries shall be clearly marked on each site prior to and during
application.
9. No residuals at any time shall be stored at any application site, unless approval has been requested and
obtained from the Division.
10. Maximum slope for residual application shall be 10% for surface application and 18% for subsurface
applications.
11. When wastewater residuals are applied, the Class A pathogen requirements and site restrictions in 40
CFR Part 503.32(a) or the Class B pathogen requirements and site restrictions in 40 CFR Part
503.32(b), and one of vector attraction reduction requirements in 40 CFR Part 503.33 shall be met.
Additionally, an evaluation must be performed which demonstrates the residuals ability to comply with
this requirement. Upon request, a copy of this evaluation must be submitted including all test results
and calculations. The following water treatment plant facility is exempt from this condition because
there is no domestic contribution present in the residuals:
City of Monroe WTP NCO080381
II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REOUIREMENTS
The facilities and application sites shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.

2. A suitable vegetative cover, as listed in condition Il 4, shall be maintained in accordance with the crop
management plan outlined by the local Extension Office, the Department of Agriculture, the Natural
Resource Conservation Service, or other agronomist, and approved by this Division.
3. An acceptable pH must be maintained in the soil, residual and lime mixture, greater than 6.0, on all
land application sites to insure optimum yield for the crop(s) specified below. The agronomist shall
provide information on the pH best suited for the specified crop and the soil type.

crop in the fall, with BOTH crops to receive wastewater residuals), then the second crop shall receive
an application of nutrients at a rate of no greater than 50 lbs/acre/yr. This practice will 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 wastewater residuals shall be applied to these fields because the
nitrogen will essentially be returned to the soil.

3. No land application of waste activities shall be undertaken when the seasonal high water table is less
than three feet below land surface.
V. INSPECTIONS
The Permittee or his designee shall inspect the residuals storage, transport, and application facilities to
prevent malfunctions and deterioration, operator errors and discharges which 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.

other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
City of Monroe
Union County
0400 :tcl
operation of a wastewater residuals land application program consisting of the application of 2439 dry tons per year
of residuals from sources listed in Condition II 5, to approximately 2277.5 acres of land in Union County with no
discharge of wastes to the surface waters, pursuant to the application received on October 28, 1998 and in
conformity with the project plan, specifications, and other supporting data subsequently filed and approved by the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources and considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until February 28, 2005 shall void Permit No.
Wg0001346 issued July 29, 1994 and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The Mooresville Regional Office, telephone number 704-663-1699 and the appropriate local
governmental official (county manager/city manager) shall be notified at least twenty-four (24) hours
prior to the initial application of the residuals to a site so that an inspection can be made of the
application sites and application method. Such notification to the regional supervisor shall be made
during the normal office hours from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday, excluding
State Holidays. In addition, the Union County Manager's office must be notified prior to the initial
application so that they will be aware that the operation has commenced.
This permit shall become voidable if the soils fail to adequately assimilate the wastes and may be
rescinded unless the sites are maintained and operated in a manner which will protect the assigned
water quality standards of the surface waters and ground waters.
The land application program shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system
to prevent the discharge of any wastes resulting from the operation of this program.
4. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages to surface
or groundwaters resulting from the operation of this program.

In the event that the land application program is not operated satisfactorily, including the creation of
nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall cease applying residuals to the sites and take any immediate
corrective actions as may be required by the Division of Water Quality (Division).
6. Some of the buffers specified below may not have been included in previous permits for this land
application operation. However, any sites or fields that are included in this permit, bet were approved
with different applicable buffers shall be reflagged to comply with the below buffers. The following
buffer zones shall be maintained:
a) 400 feet from residences or places of public assembly under separate ownership for surface
application method; however, the buffer zone requirement may be reduced to a minimum of 100
feet upon written consent of the owner and approval from the appropriate regional office,
b) 200 feet from residences or places of public assembly under separate ownership for subsurface
residual injection method; however, the buffer zone requirement may be reduced to a minimum of
100 feet upon written consent of the owner and the appropriate regional office,
c) 100 feet from any public or private water supply source, waters classified as SA or SB, and any
Class I or Class II impounded reservoir used as a source of drinking water for both methods,
d) 100 feet from any streams classified as WS or B, any other stream, canal, marsh or coastal waters
and any other lake or impoundment for surface application,
e) 50 feet from any streams classified as WS or B, any other stream, canal, marsh or coastal waters
and any other lake or impoundment for subsurface application,
f) 50 feet from property lines for both surface and subsurface application methods;
g) 50 feet from public right of ways for both application methods,
h) 10 feet from upslope interceptor drains and surface water diversions for both application methods,
i) 25 feet from downslope interceptor drains, surface water diversions, groundwater drainage systems
and surface drainage ditches for both application methods.
A copy of this permit shall be maintained at the land application site when residuals are being applied
during the life of this permit. A spill prevention and control plan shall be maintained in all residuals
transport and application vehicles.
8. Specific residual application area boundaries shall be clearly marked on each site prior to and during
application.
9. No residuals at any time shall be stored at any application site, unless approval has been requested and
obtained from the Division.
10. Maximum slope for residual application shall be 10% for surface application and 18% for subsurface
applications.
11. When wastewater residuals are applied, the Class A pathogen requirements and site restrictions in 40
CFR Part 503.32(a) or the Class B pathogen requirements and site restrictions in 40 CFR Part
503.32(b), and one of vector attraction reduction requirements in 40 CFR Part 503.33 shall be met.
Additionally, an evaluation must be performed which demonstrates the residuals ability to comply with
this requirement. Upon request, a copy of this evaluation must be submitted including all test results
and calculations. The following water treatment plant facility is exempt from this condition because
there is no domestic contribution present in the residuals:
City of Monroe WTP NCO080381
II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The facilities and application sites shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.

2. A suitable vegetative cover, as listed in condition II 4, shall be maintained in accordance with the crop
management plan outlined by the local Extension Office, the Department of Agriculture, the Natural
Resource Conservation Service, or other agronomist, and approved by this Division.
3. An acceptable pH must be maintained in the soil, residual and lime mixture, greater than 6.0, on all
land application sites to insure optimum yield for the crop(s) specified below. Theagronomist shall
provide information on the pH best suited for the specified crop and the soil type.
4. The application rates shall not exceed the following for the specified crops:
Crop PAN (lb./acre/yr.) Crop PAN (lb./acre/yr.)

If the approved land application sites are to be double cropped (i.e., a crop in the spring and a second
crop in the fall, with BOTH crops to receive wastewater residuals), then the second crop shall receive
an application of nutrients at a rate of no greater than 50 lbs/acre/yr. This practice will 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 wastewater residuals shall be applied to these fields because the
nitrogen will essentially be returned to the soil.

of the type classification assigned to the land application program by the WPCSOCC. The Permittee
must also employ a certified back-up operator of the appropriate type to comply with the conditions of
15A NCAC 8G .0202.
9. Adequate procedures shall be provided to prevent surface runoff from carrying any disposed or stored
residuals into any surface waters.
10. Surface applied residuals will be plowed or disced within twenty-four (24) hours after application on

PREPARED BY: Charley Schwartz WS
SUBJECT: City of Monroe Land Application Permit
Permit No. WQ0001346
The contractor for the permittee, AMSCO, submitted a request to transfer one land
application field from Permit No. WQ0000057 (City of Charlotte) to Permit No. WQ0001346
(City of Monroe). AMSCO indicated that the land owner desired to move into a program where
his field would be more likely to receive sludge. This Office could not find any documentation
indicating that the field has ever received residuals. This Office recommends granting the land
transfer as requested. The land transfer request is attached for your review.

Permit No. WQ 00001346
DATE:
April 21, 1999
A P R 2 2 1999
As discussed early today, we are requesting the transfer of land from the City of Charlotte
land application permit, No. WQ 000057, to the City of Monroe land application permit,
No. WQ 0001346.
Specifically, site 342-01, 50.0 net acres, (landowner Robert Morrison) will be transferred.
Attached are copies of the site information and maps for this property (hard copies are
being sent to your attention via regular mail). The land was originally permitted in mid
1998 for Charlotte, but has yet to receive biosolids in that program.
It is my understanding that since the permit is currently under review for renewal that this
transfer will be handled as part of the pending renewal.
Thank you for your help in this matter. Please contact me with any questions or
comments or if you need any additional information.

RE: CM`UD Permit Modification
Amendment of Site Numbers and Acreage
Permit # WQ00b0057
Dear Mr. Michael:
As we discussed last week, an error was made in the site number and acreage information for the Robert
Mor'rison/Sroith Brothers Farrar and the Frank Howey, Jr. Farms during the most recent modification to the
C:MUD pennit. Below is information regarding the changes needed to the sites numbers and acreage.
' Original Site Name & No./Acreage New Site 1tiTame c4c No./Acre
Morrison/Smith, 338-12, 18.4 Ac . Morrison, 342-01, 50.0 Ac
Frank Howey, Jr. , 340-30, 12.2 Ac Frank Howey, Jr., 340.30, 65.0 Ac
As discussed, this site is being farmed by Mr. Morrison and requires a new site number. Secondly, daring the
site review, it was determined that an improper map scale was used to calculate the net acreages for the sites. 1
have discussed this situation with I4'Ir. 1v1ike Parker, Mooresville-RO, and he concurs with the changes fisted
above.
Please contact me if any additional information is required in this matter.

much smaller upon consideration of all applicable buffers (total does not account for
buffer restrictions). The individual fields range from 51.0 to 350 acres in size (excluding
buffers). Please refer to the application package for the specific area and dimensions of
each field.

w
8. Topography (including relationship to 100 year flood plain): Some of the fields have
areas located within the 100 year flood plain. Please refer to the application package.
9. Any buffer conflicts with location of nearest dwelling and water supply well? Ron Lilley
of AMSCO stated that all buffer areas will be marked and avoided during application
events. See also the comments regarding field 322-15 in Part IV of this report.
10. Watershed Stream Basin Information: The land application fields are located in various
areas of Union county. Several different creeks and tributaries flow through and/or
border some of the fields. Please refer to the application for specific information.
a. Watershed Classification: refer to application
b. River Basin and Subbasin No.: Yadkin and Catawba; various subbasins
C. Distance to surface water from disposal system: refer to application.
PART II - DESCRIPTION OF WASTES AND TREATMENT WORKS
a. Volume: N/A
Residuals: The application estimates the volume of residuals to be 2,500 dry
tons/year (dty). Annual reports for 1997 and 1996 indicate applied residuals in
the amount of 1442.3 dty and 1728.37 dty, respectively

d. Description of proposed WWT facilities: N/A
3. Residuals handling and utilization/disposal scheme: The biosolids will be loaded into
sealed tankers which will travel on remote roads to the application fields. The biosolids
will then be pumped into a high flotation vehicle for application. (see also Appendix
VI.1-3 of the permit application).
Residuals Stabilization: Seven residual samples are collected and analyzed for fecal
coliform during each monitoring period.
4. Treatment Plant Classification: N/A
5. SIC Code(s): N/A
Wastewater Code(s): N/A
Main Treatment Unit Code: N/A

PART III - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
1. Is this facility being constructed with Construction Grant Funds (municipals only)? N/A
2. Special monitoring requests: None at this time.
3. Important SOC/JOC or Compliance Schedule Dates: N/A
4. Air Quality and/or Groundwater concerns or hazardous materials utilized at this facility
that may impact water quality, air quality, or groundwater? Proper operation of the land
application fields should not result in violations of air, water or groundwater standards.
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
17 application fields identified in the previous permit have been dropped from the present
permit application. However, the application area of five existing fields has been substantially
expanded and/or increased (original area for 5 fields = 290.3 acres; new area for 3 fields = 879
acres). The area of expansion for these fields nearly equals the area lost from the 17 fields
removed from the permit. The land application area proposed totals 2,227.5 acres, whereas the
land application area permitted previously totaled 2,289.8 acres.
On December 7, 1998, the expanded and/or incorporated fields were visited by Charley
Schwartz and Peggy Finley (MRO-Groundwater Section). During the site visits, it was observed
that some of the field maps required under VH. b. of the permit application did not adequately
reflect the buffers and site conditions associated with the respective fields. Ron Lilley was asked
to prepare new maps for the expanded fields during the December site visit. The new maps were
received in this Office on January 26, 1999, and appear to be appropriate (copies of the maps are
attached). However, upon reviewing the map for application field 322-15, the buffer around
neighboring residences is presented as 200 feet (not 400 feet). Mr. Lilley indicated that the
residuals would be incorporated into the soils at the site by tilling during application events, and
therefore, the buffers were reduced from 400 feet to 200 feet. Since the property owners did not
sign letters waiving the 400 foot buffer requirement for standard surface application, and tilling
of the soil should not constitute "residual subsurface injection," the buffers around these
residences should remain at 400 feet.
The calculations in the permit application predict a minimum of 788 acres necessary for
proper land application rates. The total land area available for application appears to be
sufficient even after buffer consideration. This Office does not object to the issuance of a non -
discharge permit for the subject application, pending review and approval by Permits and
Engineering and the Groundwater Section

V. PATHOGEN AND VECTOR ATTRACTION REDUCTION INFORMATION (attach additional pages for additional
sources of residuals):
Note: Pages 3 and 4 are for Liquid Biosolids from the 3.0 MG storage tank
1. In accordance with 40 CFR Part 503, a residual cannot be land applied if it does not meet one of the following alternatives for Class B
pathogen reduction. SEE APPDENIX V . 1 & 2
a Please specify a, bl, b2, b3, M, b5 or c from below (submit all lab analysis, test results and calculations):
a. at least seven residuals samples should be collected at the time of use and analyzed for Fecal coliforms during each monitoring period. The
geometric mean of the densities of these samples will be calculated and should be less than 2,000,000 most probable number per gram of
total dry solids, or less than 2,000,000 Colony Forming Units per gram of total dry solids.
b. the residuals must be treated by one of the following "Process to Significantly Reduce Pathogens" (PSRP).
1. Aerobic Digestion - residuals are agitated with air or oxygen to maintain aerobic conditions for a mean cell residence time and
temperature between 40 days at 201 C and 60 days at 15' C.
2. Air Drying - residuals are dried on sand beds or on paved surface or basins for a minimum of three months. During two of the three
months, the ambient average daily temperature is above 0° C.
3. Anaerobic Digestion - residuals are treated in the absence of air for a mean cell residence time and temperature between 15 days at
35' C to 55' C and 60 days at 20' C.
4. Composting - using either the within -vessel, static aerated pile, or windrow composting methods, the temperature of the residuals are
raised to 400 C or higher for five days. For four hours during the five days, the temperature in the compost pile exceeds 55' C.
5. Lime Stabilization - sufficient lime is added to the residuals to raise the pH of the residuals to 12 after two hours of contact.
c. The residuals shall be treated by a process that is equivalent to a "Process to Significantly Reduce Pathogens" (PSRP), as determined by
the permitting authority, based on an evaluation of the recommendations provided by the Pathogen Equivalency Committee.
2. In addition, when residuals are being land applied, at least one of the following vector attraction reduction requirements (a,b, c, d, e, f, g,
h, i or j) described below must be met. SEE APPENDIX V. 1 & 2
a Specify the letter(s) of the vector attraction reduction requirement that have been met (submit lab results, test results and
calculations). Any variation of the below must be described in full detail and attached.
a. Aerobic or Anaerobic Digestion - The mass of volatile solids is reduced by at least 38%. Volatile solids reduction is measured
between the residuals, prior to stabilization, and the residuals ready for use or disposal. This criterion should be readily met by
properly designed and operated anaerobic digestors, but not as readily met by aerobic digestors. Treatment facilities with aerobic
digestors may need to meet the vector attraction reduction requirement through 18c or 18d.
b. Anaerobic Digestion - If 38% volatile solids reduction cannot be achieved, vector attraction reduction can be demonstrated by further
digesting a portion of the previously digested residuals in a bench scale unit for an additional 40 days at 30' C to 37° C. If, at the end
of the 40 days, the volatile solids are reduced by less than 17%, vector attraction reduction is achieved.
c. Aerobic Digestion - If 38% volatile solids reduction cannot be achieved, vector attraction reduction can be demonstrated by further
digesting a portion of the previously digested residuals that has a solids content of 2% or less in a bench scale unit for an additional
30 days at 20' C. If, at the end of the 30 days, the volatile solids are reduced by less than 15%, vector attraction reduction is achieved.
d. Aerobic Digestion - The specific oxygen uptake rate (SOUR) shall be equal to or less than 1.5 milligrams of oxygen per hour per
gram of total dry solids at 20' C.
e. Aerobic Processes - The temperature of the residuals for at least 14 days shall be greater than 40° C. During this time, the average
temperature shall be greater than 45' C.
f. Alkaline .Stabilization - The pH of the residuals is raised to 12 or higher by alkali addition and, without the addition of more alkali,
remains at 12 or higher for 2 hours and then at 11.5 or higher for an additional 22 hours.

E. Determine the Site Life for this land application site:
NOTE: These calculations are for Liquid Biosolids from the 3.0 MG storage tank
The lifetime pollutant loadings shall not be exceeded. The site life is determined by calculating the number of years that the
site can receive the residual without exceeding the lifetime pollutant loadings. The site life calculations will be based on the
most restrictive crop plant available nitrogen (PAN) requirement specified and the maximum dry tons of residuals to be land
applied annually. Therefore, in the table below, the Tons of Residuals to be Applied/Acre/Year will be calculated as:
1. Most restrictive crop based on the plant available nitrogen (PAN) requirement: small grain
Associated plant available nitrogen (PAN) requirement 100 (Ibs/acre/year)
2. Minimum acres needed based on most restrictive PAN (as found in C.5 above): 788 acres
3. Dry Tons of Residuals to be land applied per year 2,500 dry tons per year

APPENDIX VI. 1-3 RESIDUALS TRANSPORT AND APPLICATION
TRANSPORTATION:
Liquid: Biosolids will be loaded into sealed tankers for transportation to the approved and permitted
agricultural sites. Remote routes will be followed, and precautions shall be taken so that no biosolids
will be spilled or leaked onto highways, roads, etc. Biosolids will be off-loaded at application site
via 6" rubber/steel hose by vacuum pump. The biosolids will be pumped into a high flotation
vehicle designed specifically for application in an agricultural environment (i.e., Terra-Gator or
tractor pull -tank combination).
APPLICATION RATES:
Based on chemical analysis, the application rate for the Monroe project is regulated by the nitrogen
uptake of the crops. The liquid application rate is controlled by the ground speed and the tank
pressure of the application vehicle.
The above explanation applies to both surface and subsurface injection application methods.

RE: Acreage Increase City of Monroe Land Application" Permit
Permit # WQ001346
Dear Mr. Parker:
I am writing as a follow up to our telephone conversation of September 18, 1997, regarding an
acreage increase in the City of Monroe land application program. Specifically, the acreage of.
UN-22-15 (Marion Cox/John Cox), is listed in the permit as 126.8 net acres. _ AMSCO has
determined that the net acreage of this field has increased due to clearing of woodland around
the field borders. A field investigation- of the topography and soils in the newly cleared area
indicates that a majority of the newly cleared area is suitable for land application of biosolids.
AMSCO estimates that the new net acreage of the field is 184 acres.
Your suggestion was that AMSCO proceed with its scheduled operation on the site using the
new acreage..: It was agreed that this letter be submitted to document the change; that the
annual report be annotated to reflect the new:acreage; and that the acreage be corrected during .
the next City of Monroe permitmodification.
Thank you for your help in this matter. If you have any further questions or comiments, please.
contact me at 910-766-0328.

RE: Acreage Increase City of Monroe Land Application Permit
Permit # WQ001346
Dear Mr. Parker:
I am writing as a follow up to our telephone conversation of March 31, 1998, regarding an
acreage increase in the City of Monroe land application program. Specifically, the acreage of
UN-22-3,4, and 5 (Marion Cox/John Cox), is listed in the permit as 92.5 total net acres and
UN-22-14 is listed as 71.0 net acres. AMSCO has determined that the net acreage of these
fields has increased due to clearing of woodland around the field borders. A field
investigation of the topography and soils in the newly cleared area indicates that a majority of
the newly cleared area is suitable for land application of biosolids. AMSCO has determined
the new net acreage of the fields is as follows: UN-22-3,4 & 5 - 350.0 acres, and UN-22-14-
345.0 acres.
Your suggestion was that AMSCO proceed with its scheduled operation on the site using the
new acreage. It was agreed that this letter be submitted to document the change and that the
acreage be corrected during the next City of Monroe permit modification. This situation has
been discussed with Mr. Michael Allen, DWQ Permits and Engineering Unit, and he concurs
with our agreement.

APPENDIX VII. 3 - AGRONOMIST REPORT
AMSCO is operating a land application program for the recycling/beneficial reuse of wastewater
biosolids produced at the City Monroe WWTP. The agronomist report is submitted as a crucial step
in the review of potential sites for the program. This agronomist report is a discussion of the
following parameters:
Site Investigation
Topography
Soils
Residuals Characteristics and Residuals Loading Rates
Program Management
Conclusion
Site Investi ag tion
The site investigation consists of a physical observation of each proposed site in which the following
are evaluated:
Soil characteristics
Slope
Cropping systems
Location of property lines
Location of residences
Location of wells and surface water features
Site specific information is enclosed (see Appendix VII.1,2 & 4) for each site evaluated.
Application area maps delineating the application areas within each field are also included.
Topography
The slope of each site was evaluated during the site investigation. The slope for the individual sites
range from 2 to 5 percent for surface application. Areas of excessive slope have been eliminated
from the operational areas.
Soils
Each site was physically inspected and hand auger borings were made to evaluate soil texture, soil
color, soil structure, and depth to any restrictive zones. Examples of restrictive zones are seasonal
high water tables and shallow depths to saprolite and/or bedrock. Soil profile descriptions for each
site are listed in Appendix VII.1,2 & 4. Soil fertility samples were collected from each site and were
analyzed for standard soil fertility parameters. In addition, the soil samples were analyzed for
regulated metals content. The results of these analyses are reported in Appendix VII.1,2 & 4.

Residuals Characteristics and Residuals Loading Rates
Residuals samples were collected and analyzed by independent laboratories. The residuals analysis
report and calculations indicate the residuals are non -hazardous and non -toxic. The residuals
analyses indicate the residuals are suitable for agricultural beneficial reuse. The chemical analyses
of the residuals are in Appendix IV.2 & 3. The application rates are based on the nutrient and metals
content of the residuals. The recommendations are based on conservative estimates to ensure the
continual use of agricultural fields and cropping systems.
The annual application of residuals to cropland is limited by the nutrient uptake of the crop. In the
case of the City of Monroe WWTP residuals the annual limit is based on the nitrogen uptake of the
proposed cropping program. Refer to the following tables for the crop requirements and
recommended application rates for the City of Monroe WWTP.

N/R
The level of available phosphorus in the City of Monroe WWTP residuals may exceed the crop
requirement for some crops. However, the additional phosphorus should not be a concern due to the
high buffering capacity of the clay fraction of the soils on the application sites. Phosphorus should
readily adsorb to the clay exchange sites in the soil complex.
The potassium content of the residuals indicates that the proposed application rates will only provide
limited amounts of potassium. Supplemental potassium will be required to balance the nutrient
requirements of the crop.
The lifetime limiting factor is the heavy metal content of the residuals. The metal content of the
residuals has been analyzed and the pollutant levels are reported in Appendix IV. 2 & 3.
Monitoring of the residuals constituents is recommended to adjust the application rates and long term
impact to the fields. Application rates can be adjusted as additional chemical analyses and
monitoring of the residuals is performed during the operational year.

Program Management
Liquid residuals will be applied either by surface or surface/incorporation methods. Application
rates are based on the plant available nitrogen (PAN) and nitrogen assimilation of the crop to be
grown or the calcium carbonate equivalency of the biosolids and the soil lime requirements of the
land application site.
A majority of the of the permitted acreage is planted to corn, soybean and small grains. The balance
of the permitted acreage is planted to fescue. Fescue is grown for hay and pasture production for
cattle and horse feed. The pastures can receive applications throughout the year. Applications to
the hay and pasture land are generally split during the year to maximize crop fertilization and
production. The hay is cut from early spring throughout the growing season. The hay is baled and
stored for feed for the cattle production as needed.
Coin, soybean and small grain crops are fertilized prior to planting. Corn and soybean are normally
planted and the early to mid spring and are harvested from late summer to through the end of fall.
The grain is stored and used for cattle feed during the year. Following the harvest of corn, a winter
grain such as wheat is planted and harvested in late spring or early summer. Applications of
residuals are made prior to planting and after harvesting (i.e., prior to the planting of the next crop
in the production cycle).
Conclusion
Based on the site and soil evaluations, crop nutrient requirements and the nutrient content of the
residuals, all sites should readily assimilate the residuals. Land application should provide an
environmentally acceptable means of beneficial reuse of the residuals provided all the parameters
of the operational plan and the requirements of the permit are followed.

APPENDIX VII. 5 - CALCULATIONS WORKSHEET -
THE MAXIMUM ADJUSTED ANNUAL PAN
Due to the fact that organic nitrogen is mineralized slowly over time, the amount of nitrogen that
becomes available in the years following the initial application must be taken into consideration
when calculating application rates for the subsequent years.
To develop the nitrogen mineralization rates for a five year program, a two step method of
calculation must be used.
Step 1. Annual application of residuals is developed to determine the Plant
Available Nitrogen (PAN) and Organic Nitrogen (N).
In this example the factors are reported as percent (e.g., 4.65 % = 4.65).
Based upon the (PAN) formula, the organic nitrogen (N) concentration can
be determined.
Example: PAN = .3 (TKN-NH3)+.5(NH3)+NO3+NO2
PAN = .3 (4.65% - 0.33%)+.5(0.33%)+0.1139%
organic N inorganic N
N = (4.65% - 0.33%) = 4.22
Step 2. Calculate the plant available nitrogen in the following years from the initial
application due to the slow mineralization of the organic nitrogen (N) in the
residuals applied.
The following formula and default values are used for the mineralization of
organic nitrogen. (USEPA Design Manual 1983, p.p. 6-19, 6-23 ).
FORMULA: N min = (K) (N) (S) *
Where: N min = Quantity of nitrogen is mineralized per year.
K = Mineralization factor for the year in
consideration.
N = Percent organic nitrogen originally present in
the residuals.
S = Residuals application rate.

The following table example and calculations are based on the organic fraction (N) factor of 4.22
of the residuals from the City of Monroe WWTP. In the example and calculations the residuals are
applied at an initial rate of 7.92 dry tons (S) per acre (250 lbs. PAN/Ac applied to fescue)

THE MAXIMUM ADJUSTED ANNUAL PAN
The following table represents the adjusted application rates, expressed in dry tons per acre, for a
five year period accounting for nitrogen carryover from previous year's residuals. Each year organic
nitrogen is mineralized and becomes available during the next year's growing season. Adjusted
application rates are determined by subtracting the organic nitrogen mineralized (nitrogen carryover)
from the current crop's nitrogen requirement. The following example of 7.92 dry tons per acre for
250 pounds of nitrogen per acre beginning in year one.

APPENDIX VIII.2 - GENERAL INFORMATION - EXPLANATION OF METHODS TO
CONTROL ACCESS TO LAND APPLICATION SITES
Grazing will not be allowed for 30 days after application; public exposure will be controlled for a
period of 1 year after application. Site selection is based on limited access to the general public.
Sites are also considered private property which limits public access.
Many of the sites (i.e., pastures, hay fields) are fenced which limits public access and animal access.

Subject: PERMIT NO. WQ0001346
MONROE, CITY -A SLUDGE/WWTP
UNION COUNTY
Our files indicate that the subject permit issued on 7/29/94 expires on 4/30/99. We have not
received a request for renewal from you as of this date.
A renewal request shall consist of a letter asking for permit renewal, the appropriate permit
application processing fee, and four (4) copies of a completed application. For permitted facilities with
treatment works, a narrative description of the residuals management plan, which is in effect at the
permitted facility, must also be submitted with the renewal application. Applications may be returned to
the applicant if not accompanied by the processing fee or are incomplete.
Please find attached a copy of the processing fee schedule, as found in 15 NCAC 2H .0205(c).
The processing fee for your facility is based on the type of facility and/or the permitted flow. Processing
fees for land application of residuals are based on the total acres of land permitted. The processing fee
does not apply to any farmer who submits an application which pertains to his/her farming operation.
The check or money order should be made payable to the North Carolina Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (DENR).
The Environmental Management Commission adopted rules on October 1, 1990, requiring the
payment of an annual fee for most permitted facilities. You will be billed separately for that fee (if
applicable) after your permit is approved.
P.O. Box 29535, Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535 Telephone [phone] FAX [phone]

Please be advised that this permit must not be allowed to expire. You must submit the renewal
request at least 180 days prior to the permit's expiration date, as required by the 15 NCAC 2H .0211.
Renewal requests received less than 180 days prior to permit expiration will be required to pay the full
NEW APPLICATIONS/ MODIFICATION/ LATE RENEWALS fee rather than the reduced TIMELY
RENEWALS WITHOUT MODIFICATIONS fee. Failure to request a renewal at least 180 days prior
to the permit expiration date and/or operation of a facility without a valid permit may result in the
assessment of civil penalties. NCGS 143-215.6 allows for the assessment of Civil penalties up to
$10,000 per violation per day.
The letter requesting renewal, along with the completed Non -discharge Permit Application and
the appropriate processing fee, must be sent to:
Permits and Engineering Unit
Division of Water Quality
Non -Discharge Branch Permitting
P. O. Box 29535
Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact Ms. Thelma Williams at

RE:. Acreage Increase. City of Monroe Land Application Permit
Permit # WQ001346
Dear Mr. Parker:
.,
;i
I am writing as a follow up to our telephone conversation of September 18, 1997, regarding an
acreage increase in the City of Monroe land application program. Specifically, the acreage of
UN-22-15 (Marion Cox/John Cox), is listed in the permit as 126.8 net acres. _ AMSCO has
determined that the net acreage of this field has increased due to clearing of woodland mound
the field borders. A field investigation of the topography and soils in the newly cleared area
indicates that a majority of the newly cleared area is suitable for land application of biosolids.
AMSCO estimates that the new net acreage of the field is 184 acres.
Your suggestion was that AMSCO proceed with its scheduled operation on the site using the
new acreage. It was agreed that this letter be submitted to document the change, that the
annual report be annotated to reflect the new acreage, and that the acreage be corrected during
the next City of Monroe permit modification.
Thank you for your help in this matter. If you have any further questions or comments, please
contact me at 910-766-0328.
Sincerely,
AMSC orporated

The State of North Carolina is currently negotiating with EPA to receive the federal permitting
authority and delegation to issue land application permits for EPA in our State. If this delegation
occurs, this will allow you to avoid having two permits (one from the State and one from EPA) for the
same activity. While this delegation process is being pursued, permittees legally are subject to the
new Federal requirements while, continuing to comply with their existing State issued permit. At this
time, the delegation process is progressing slowly and the formal approval is still in doubt.
Also, enclosed is "A Plain English Guide to the EPA Part 503 Biosolids Rule." This document is
helpful in understanding the new Federal and State monitoring and reporting requirements.
If there is a need for any additional information or clarification on the State reporting requirements,
please do not hesitate to contact either Lou Polletta or Dianne Williams Wilburn of our staff at 919/

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The fields selected by BioGro for disposal of sludge from
Cuddy Farms are (with one exception) well buffered, generally
upland fields with moderately deep soils and no restrictive
horizons. With the exception of field UN32-6, all of the proposed
sites are located above the 100 year flood plain elevation and
should not be limited to seasonal applications. Field UN32-6
should not be approved due to the field lying within the 100 year
flood plain, and evidence of a perched water table (less than 3
feet) was noted during the site inspection. There are no
residences located within 500+ feet.
Pending receipt of approval by the GW Section and
information that indicates the sludge has been satisfactorily
stabilized, it is recommended that a Permit be issued.

TREATMENT/STABILIZATION PROCESS

TREATMENT PROCESS
The Cuddy Farms waste water handling facility consists of two lagoons in sequence. The
first has an aeration area which is curtained off as indicated by the enclosed diagram.
Materials flow from the first lagoon into the second lagoon and then effluent is discharged
into the Union County treatment system.
STABILIZATION PROCESS
As reported by Cuddy Farms, they have been operating this facility for approximately 15
years. During this time the waste water has been treated in two large lagoons. The first is
aerated and the second is facultative. Sludge has never been cleaned from these lagoons
since the facility was started. Therefore the sludge age will be approximately 15 years.
We believe that the use of these lagoons, and the extremely long sludge age of 15 years,
results in a 38% reduction in volatile suspended solids (VSS). However, the sludge samples
recently collected for this application were reported to have an influent VSS of 99% and
effluent of 9817o. We do not believe this data is accurate and we are currently re -sampling
using a different laboratory. As soon as that data is available, we will forward it to you for
review. Until then, we ask that you begin your review of the remainder of this application.

OPERATIONS PLAN

A. INTRODUCTION
This Operations Plan contains detailed operational procedures
designed to comply with applicable regulations and guidelines.
Additional procedures and constraints have been incorporated
based on Bio Gro's previous land application experience with
the ultimate objective being a land application program that
safeguards public health, surface and groundwater supplies and
provides an agronomic benefit to the project area.
B. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
Aerobically digested sludge generated at the Cuddy Farms Inc.
Facility will be land applied in a liquid form.
Sludge will be loaded at the wastewater treatment facility and
transported in tank trailers to the permitted land application
site. Bio Gro Systems will land -apply the sludge on the
approved site in accordance with the operational procedures
described herein and at rates set in the permit.
C. LAND APPLICATION PROCEDURES
1. Sludge Removal Transport and Application
a. Sludge removal.
Sludge will be removed from the aerobic lagoons at
the wastewater treatment facility with a
submersible pump.
The sludge will be pumped through a six-inch
flexible wall hose to a loading tower. The
flexible wall hose will be connected to rigid PVC
pipe at the loading tower. A remote control switch
will be located at the top of the loading tower to
control the power source to the pump in the holding
tank. The tractor/tank trailer units will pull
under the loading tower with the tank trailer being
filled through a hatch located on top of the
trailer.
b. Sludge transport and method of land application.
Sludge will be transported from the treatment
facility in tractor/tank trailer units to the
approved land application site. The transport
trucks will deliver the sludge to a high -
flotation land application vehicle stationed
on the field receiving sludge. The sludge
transfer will be through a suction hose and
the land application vehicle will perform all

sludge distribution.
Sludge distribution on the site will be uniform
throughout the distribution area. To ensure
adequate control of the application rate for this
site, the equipment used for spreading the sludge
will be calibrated by measuring the amount handled
on a known square footage. While the rate of
discharge from the application vehicle is fixed,
the speed of the equipment can be adjusted to
maintain whatever flow rate is desired to achieve
specific application rates.
The mode of application will be subsurface
injection or surface application followed by
incorporation by discing. Injection and
incorporation will not occur on pasture and hay
fields or on cropped fields where the farmer has
adequate crop residue and wants to maintain a no -
till or minimum tillage system.
The method of application is selected based on the
crop that is being grown and the tillage practices
being employed by the farmer. Since farm operators
typically rotate different crops and tillage
practices in a specific field each year, it is not
possible to determine exactly what method of
operation will be used on each field at this time.
Prior to each application, a representative meets
with the farm operator to determine what crop is
being planted and what tillage practice is being
employed for a particular field. If row crops are
being planted using conventional tillage methods,
the sludge will be injected. If the farmer is
planting the field using no -till practices or the
field is in pasture or hay, sludge will be surface
applied.
If there are any sites that have seasonal high
groundwater conditions that preclude incorporation,
the sites could be surface applied. However, a
better alternative would be to place seasonal
restrictions on the site and conduct operations
only during periods when seasonal highs would not
be encountered.
Equipment to be used on the project includes:
1. Four -to -five totally enclosed, watertight
tanker trucks of 6000-6500 gallon capacity.
2. One high -flotation land application vehicle of

2000-4000 gallon capacity.
Operations will be discontinued during periods of
inclement weather and will not be resumed until
sufficient drying of the fields has occurred.
The truck units will be inspected, licensed and
appropriately marked as required for the purpose of
transporting the sludge material.
C. Storage
Cuddy Farms Inc. provides storage for the
sludge during non -application periods in the
existing lagoons.
2. Site Operation
a. The sludge will either be injected or surface -
applied followed by incorporation through discing.
Discing and injection will not occur on pasture and
hay fields or on cropped fields where the farmer
has adequate crop residue and wants to maintain a
no -till or minimum tillage system.
b. The amount of sludge applied will be limited to the
annual allowable dry tons per acre as required by
the permit for the site.
C. Buffer zones will be observed as follows:
1. Distance from traveled surface of roadway: 25
feet.
2. Distance from on -site residences of the
landowners receiving sludge: 100 feet for
surface or subsurface application.
3. Distance from any habitable residence or place
of public assembly under separate ownership or
which is to be sold: 200 feet injection or
surface application with same day
incorporation; 400 feet surface application
without incorporation. These distances may be
reduced to 100 feet with written permission of
the resident. The form used for obtaining
permission is included in Attachment 1.
4. Distance from any well with the exception of
an approved groundwater monitoring well or a
well that has been permanently abandoned in
accordance with state regulations: 100 feet.
5. 100 feet between surface sludge application

area and waters classified as WSII, WSIII or B
and 100 feet between the application area and
the Mean High Water Level of waters classified
as SA or SB; 50 feet between subsurface sludge
injection area and waters classified as WSII,
WSIII or B; and 100 feet between the
application area and the Mean High Water Level
of waters classified as SA or SB.
6. 100 feet between any surface sludge
application area and any stream, lake or
river. 50 feet for subsurface injection.
7. Distance from groundwater lowering and surface
drainage ditches: 25 feet.
8. Distance from property lines: 100 feet unless
the adjoining property owner concurs with
sludge application closer to the property line
and Adjoining Landowner Waiver form is
obtained.
Buffer zones will be flagged or marked and no
sludge will be applied within the buffer zones.
The most restrictive buffer will apply in combined
situations.
d. Provisions will be taken to prevent soil loss
through erosion. Provisions will include contour
application and avoidance of areas where surface
drainage patterns result in concentrated flow of
runoff from rainfall.
e. Seasonally wet areas are of concern only during
very brief periods of the year with abnormally high
precipitation, usually during the months of
December through March. In the unlikely event that
such seasonal ponding does occur these areas will
be buffered by flagging. In addition, good
agronomic practice requires that areas which are
unseasonably wet and would produce rutting or
damage to the field should not be utilized for
sludge application or any other farming operation
during those periods.
f. The amount of sludge applied will not exceed the
hydraulic capacity of the soil at the time of each
application. In no case will it exceed 27,000
gal/acre (one acre inch) per day. If a subsequent
pass across a field is necessary to achieve the
desired application rate, sufficient drying time
will be allowed between passes.

g. Operations will be discontinued when soils are
saturated and will not be resumed until sufficient
drying of the field has occurred.
h. Sludge may be applied on frozen ground that has
crop residue sufficient to prevent surface runoff.
During such application, the maximum slope to which
sludge will be applied will be five percent.
i. A minimum of 36 inches of soil will be maintained
between the deepest point of sludge injection and
bedrock or the water table during the period of
application.
j. Sludge shall not be applied on areas exceeding 18
percent slope for injection or surface application
with incorporation and 10 percent for surface
application without incorporation.
k. Soil pH should be adjusted to 6.5 or greater prior
to application.
1. All grazing by animals whose products are consumed
by humans must be prevented for one month following
the last application event. This will be
accomplished by keeping animals fenced out for 30
days.
M. Public access to sites which have had sludge
applied shall be controlled for a period of 18
months from the time of last sludge application.
Since private farmland is not generally accessible
to the public, this objective is usually
accomplished through normal practices.
n. Crops for direct human consumption with the
harvested edible portion in contact with the
sludge -amended soil shall not be planted for a
period of 18 months following the last application.

SOIL SCIENTISTS REPORT

soil scientist Report
The sites contained in this package were evaluated by
examining existing USDA-SCS Soil Survey information, the soil
material exposed in a series of hand auger borings and by soil
sampling and testing. Other important items that were taken into
consideration were depth to bedrock and seasonal high water table.
Topography
Slope on these sites are typical of the area of the state.
The slopes range from nearly level to the maximum of approximately
5 percent. Topography will not limit injection or surface
application of biosolids.
Soils
The soils information necessary to determine suitability for
the land application of treated biosolids must address both
agronomic and engineering properties of the soil materials
encountered on the sites. These properties can be evaluated on a
preliminary basis by examining published literature such as that
contained in Soil Surveys published through the Soil Conservation
Service. In addition, an actual site investigation is necessary to
confirm the soils information contained in the soil survey. The
soils were evaluated by examining soil material extracted from the
sites with a hand auger. Hand auger borings were taken at selected
locations on the sites representative of the major soil types
represented in the soil survey. The soil material extracted was
evaluated with increasing depth for selected properties. Those
properties include: depth, color, texture, presence of restrictive
horizons and presence or absence of a seasonal high water table or
bedrock within 3 feet of the biosolids application zone. In
addition, a series of core samples were collected and composited
from the plow layer on the sites to determine soil cation exchange
capacity and pH to establish background levels for selected site
constituents. The results of the auger borings and core samples
are contained in this submittal.

Application Rate Recommendations
The biosolids generated for this project have been tested and
verified as non -toxic, non -hazardous and suitable for application
onto agricultural land.
Based on the analyses nitrogen and zinc are the most limiting
factor to the annual application of these biosolids. At the
nitrogen application rate sufficient phosphorus is also applied.
The farm operator will need to apply potassium since the sludge is
low in this element.
The soil test results indicate that the cation exchange capacity of
the soils fall within the 5.3 to 8.4 meq/100gram range. Based on
this the most limiting metal in terms of cumulative loading is zinc
and it would take approximately 39.9 years of annual applications
to reach this level based on the highest application rate of 3.2
dry tons/acre.
The hydraulic loading rate will be limited to 27,000
gallon/acre/day for liquid application. Sufficient drying time
will be allowed between applications to prevent hydraulically over
loading the site.
Soil testing of the proposed sites indicates that the cation
exchange capacity of the topsoil material on the sites is generally
in the low to medium category. Research conducted in recent years
has shown that soil chemical properties such as low cation exchange
capacity are not limiting factors when low metal biosolids are
applied at agronomic rates. Heavy metal recommendations contained
in this submittal reflect the lowest cations exchange capacity
category currently utilized to establish EPA loadings.
Conclusion
The material proposed for application on these sites is an
excellent source of nutrients. Neither biosolids characteristics,
sites characteristics, nor soil characteristics should preclude use
of these sites in a land application program. With careful
operation and strict adherence to Federal and State regulations
these sites should be excellent sites for biosolids application.

Residual Nitrogen Mineralization Calculations
Since biosolids from Cuddy Farms Inc. are primarily aerobically
digested a mineralization rate of 30% was utilized. While most of
the mineralizable organic nitrogen in biosolids is converted to
inorganic nitrogen in the year it is applied, there is some
continued decomposition of organic nitrogen in succeeding years.
This continued decomposition of organic nitrogen can provide a
small portion of the nitrogen needed for crop growth in subsequent
years. It is important to note however that agricultural
fertilization including biosolids utilization is not an exact
science but rather a science of averages. This is especially true
because weather conditions effect so many agricultural parameters
including mineralization. Mineralization rates and estimates of
organic nitrogen released in subsequent years used by State and
Federal regulators are average values for specific types of
biosolids. Because these are average values and because of the
very small amounts of nitrogen mineralized in subsequent years it
is somewhat risky for the farmer to rely on carry-over nitrogen for
crop production.
There is no way to accurately calculate residual nitrogen loading
for five years because the PAN and organic nitrogen number for each
year will be different. Also the amount of sludge to be applied
annually will be significantly less after the first year.

AGRONOMISTS REPORT

Agronomist Report
Several factors should be taken into consideration in
determining sites agricultural suitability to receive biosolids.
These factors are soils, crop rotations, loading rates and nutrient
requirements.
The crop types and cropping schedules are investigated prior
to a site being considered as a biosolids application site. The
sites in this submittal shall be utilized for corn.
Biosolids analysis information is reviewed to determine the
most limiting application rate factor. For this project nitrogen
is the most limiting factor. Due to the low solids content of the
biosolids hydraulic loading limits may also limit application rates
in that more than one application pass may be needed to supply the
nitrogen requirement of the crop to be grown.
When applying to row crops, biosolids will be applied prior to
planting or after harvest (this would provide nutrients for the
next planting). If hydraulic loading limits require that more than
one pass be made on a field in order to satisfy the nitrogen
requirement of the crop being grown, the field should be allowed to
dry sufficiently prior to the next application.
Soil testing of the sites included in this application
indicates that soil pH 5.0 - 5.9 on most sites. The lime
recommendations are generally made based on raising the pH to a
standard of 6.5. The nutrient requirements are a direct function
of specific crop needs. Recommendations found in the University
System and Extension service publications for specific crops should
be used to determine nutrient requirements. Application rates are
based on the annual nitrogen requirements for each particular crop
being grown. This application rate will also supply sufficient
phosphorus for plant growth. In many instances such as with zinc,
sulphur, and copper essential micro -nutrients are also supplied to
the plant. The resulting trace metal loadings at nitrogen limited
rates are minimal. Because of the low levels of metal additions
there is no cause for concern with regard to concentration of
metals in plant tissues. Salt additions at these application rates
do not pose a problem. In general salts are not a problem in humid
and sub humid regions because there is sufficient rainfall to leach
them down through the soil profile and away from the crop root
zone.

The crop being grown on the site in this submittal is corn.
There are no restrictions on harvesting and marketing this crop
other than there shall be no animals grazing on sludge applied
fields for 30 days following application.
My review of the soils and crop rotations proposed for this
project find the submitted sites to be suitable for the land
application of sludge.

I agree to be responsible for adhering to the following conditions, where applicable,
and will hold Bio Gro Systems harmless from any adverse consequence resulting
from my failure to meet such conditions:
a. The soil pH will be adjusted to , 5 when sludge is applied. (This may be
accomplished through the application of lime -treated sludge.)
b. Cattle intended for meat production may not graze on treated fields for Odays.
C. Animals intended for dairy production may not graze on treated fields for k,,24 days.
d. Human food crops that are eaten raw, and that come in contact with soil, may not be
grown on treated fields for / F months.
e. Public access to treated fields will be controlled for _Z&_ months.
Tobacco has been found to accumulate cadmium; therefore, it is strongly
recommended that tobacco not be grown on treated areas.
2. Bio Gro Systems is willing to apply the sludge
I understand that successful crop production depends on many variables, such as weather,
soil conditions and specific farming practices. I have also read and understand the document
entitled "Important Information About Using Sludge as a Fertilizer" which is on the reverse
side and incorporated by reference.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT USING SLUDGE AS A FERTILIZER
Sludge Generation
Sludge is the accumulated, treated solids that are separated from water during the wastewater treatment
process. Sludge is produced by public and private wastewater treatment plants (Generators). The Generator
is responsible for supplying sludge that is suitable for land application according to state and federal
specifications.
Benefits of Sludge
Sludge provides nitrogen in a form that can be taken up by plants during their growth cycle. Sludge also
adds phosphorus to the soil. If time is added to sludge, the sludge will have the added benefit of a liming
agent. Sludge contains many primary, secondary and micronutrients that can be used by plants. Sludge is
primarily an organic material; when added to soil, it improves water and nutrient retention, reduces erosion
potential and improves soil structure.
The Permitting Process
Once the farm operator requests sludge, a Bio Gro representative initially evaluates the farm for truck
access and field conditions. If the farm is found to be suitable and the Request for Sludge and the Consent
for Sludge forms are signed, Bio Gro Systems wilt collect soil samples and have them analyzed by an
independent laboratory.
Bio Gro Systems will then apply for the state and/or local permits required for sludge application. The
permits will specifically identify the fields to which sludge will be applied and will be issued to Bio Gro
Systems or the Generator.
After the permits are obtained (a process that takes several months to over one year) Bio Gro Systems wilt
apply sludge, as it becomes available, to the fields. Availability of sludge may vary because of weather
conditions, contractual arrangements with sludge generators and other factors. Although the company cannot
guarantee sludge application because of factors beyond its control, Bio Gro Systems wilt use its best
efforts to apply sludge to the permitted fields.
The conditions outlined in the permit will apply to any and all sludge applications made by Bio Gro Systems.
Bio Gro Systems will not be responsible for sludge applications made by any other entity.
Periodic visits by state and local regulatory staff and Bio Gro Systems representatives may occur during the
permitting and land application process.
Agronomic Considerations
Tractor -trailer units are used to deliver sludge to the fields approved for sludge application. Soil
compaction may occur on the travel areas used by the trucks and in areas where sludge is unloaded for
transfer to the applicator vehicle.
Since some sludges contain time, it is important to recognize any increase in soil pH where sludge has been
applied and exercise care in using certain herbicides. If considering the use of a sulfonylurea herbicide,
particular attention should be paid to any label restrictions. High soil pH and dry weather may slow
decomposition of these chemicals, resulting in carry-over.
In planning a herbicide program, it should be noted that sludge sometimes contains weed seeds -- for
example, tomato seeds. Also, the large organic matter additions from sludge application (organic matter
tends to tie up certain herbicides) may require increased herbicide application rates. Consult your
extension agent or chemical representative for a specific recommendation.
Sludge contains salts. Sludge applications alone rarely cause salt problems. However, if combined with
other significant salt -increasing factors, such as drought, excessive soil compaction, saline irrigation
water and salt -containing fertilizers, salts may reach levels that could negatively affect germination and
growth of some crops.
While odor from sludge application is rarely significant, and less than odor from livestock manure, it is
possible that an odor from the decomposition of organic matter may be noticed. If any odor occurs, it
generally lasts for a few days or less.
Since sludge provides nitrogen that will be released slowly throughout the growing season with diminishing
carry-over in subsequent years, it is important to reduce the use of nitrogen and other fertilizers to
appropriate levels.

SOIL SERIES: BADIN
PROFILE DESCRIPTION: This series consists of moderately deep well
drained soils on uplands in the Piedmont. They formed in residuum
weathered from slates. Typically, these soils have a brown
channery silt loam surface layer 6 inches thick. The subsoil is
about 19 inches thick. The upper 3 inches is strong brown channery
silty clay loam over 9 inches of yellowish red silty clay and 7
inches of mottled red, yellowish red and strong brown channery sily
clay loam. Soft bedrock is at depths of 25 to 40 inches. Hard
bedrock is at 40 inches. Slopes range from 2 to 45 percent.
SOIL SERIES: TATUM
PROFILE DESCRIPTION: The Tatum sseries consists of deep, well
drained soils formed in residuum from serecite, schist, or
phyllite. Typically Tatum soil have very dark grayish brown silt
loam A horizons, red very strongly acid silty clay B2t horizons, A
C horions of multicolored saprolite, and a bedrock at a depth of
about feet. Slopes range form 2 to 25 percent.
