Union County
Dear Mr. Colbath:
Maria Schulte of the Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) conducted a field compliance
inspection on August 21St, 2017, with active application at NC-UN-026-06. I would like
to thank Stephen Holden for his time during the inspection.
Field conditions noted at time of inspection: The application equipment appeared well
maintained and delivered an even spread pattern. The field application appeared to
meet program compliance at the time of inspection.
Y-yes N-no NE -not evaluated NA -not applicable

the tank. Additional application distance is recommended in the area during future
application events.
A portion of this field at the south tree line, originally buffered for a pond, is now planted
as part of the field. By MRO review of satellite photo timeline, it appears the pond has
naturally dried or been filled in overtime; however, per conversation with Mr. Holden this
area will be assessed for seasonal high water as part of the next permit renewal
application due July 31, 2018.
I may be reached at 704-235-2184 or maria.schutte(a-),ncdenr.gov should you have
questions.

WAS is thickened by 2 - 250,000 gal thickeners in parallel, digested
aerobically in 2 tanks in series (approx 1 MG and 3 MG; operate in
batch mode, estimate 8 in months). Sludge is dewatered via 2-
meter Ashbrook belt press from 5%TS to—16-18%%. Press
operates on avg 30 hrs per week @ 85-90 gpm. Dewatered
sewage sludge is stored on pad.
City has approx 2400 acres available for land application.
Facility treats and dewaters water treatment plant sludge through a
separate process train. Both WWTP and WTP sludges are land
applied at same sites.

Last annual report to EPA Region 4 was dated February 9, 2011.
In calendar year 2010, the facility reported disposing approximately
1,104 dmt of sewage sludge and 170 dmt of water sludge. The
facility monitors at a frequency at least once per sixty days. From
Jan -Jun 2011, the facility disposed 589 dmt of sewage sludge.
Extrapolating to a 12 month period, the minimum monitoring
frequency would be four times per year.
Records for Part 503 Class B pathogen reduction (fecal coliform),
vector attraction reduction (FVSR>38%), inorganic pollutant data,
nutrient data, and chain of custody are maintained on site.

Dear Mr. Colbath:
Staff of the Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) conducted compliance inspections for the
referenced permits on May 31st, 2017. The inspections included the WWTP & WTP residuals
processing and storage, the WWTP bulk reclaimed water system and a records review for both
permits.
The MRO would like to thank Kyle Ketchum, Stephen Holden and Robbie Jenkins for their time
during the inspections. Mr. Jenkins expressed interest in a potential separate Residuals
Distribution permit. The application may be located on the DEQ website at:
htto://dea.nc.aov/about/divisions/water-resources/water-resources-oermits/wastewater-
branch/non-discharge-permitting-unit/application. Scroll to the "Residuals Management' section
and select form "DCAR" for Distribution of Class A Residuals.
The attached report should be self-explanatory; however, I may be reached by phone (704-235-

Inspection Summary: (additional comments may be included on attached pages)
This inspection included site visits to the City of Monroe's WWTP and WTP facilities. Land application files
are maintained at the WWTP and appeared to be in excellent order. The bulk reclaimed distribution system
and records covered under permit #WQ0032605 were also reviewed appeared to be maintained in accordance
with permit requirements.
Please note:
Storm water at the WTP is transporting some material past the drying beds down -slope toward a
grassy area, where haybales have been placed to assist with on -site containment. The collected
material should be shoveled into the drying bed containment designated for land fill disposal.
Water level in the WTP lined lagoon is well below 2 feet of free -board; however, there is no gauge
present for recommended measurements in tenths of a foot or I -inch increments. In addition, depth of
bottom residuals should be assessed periodically and pumped as needed.
The MRO should be informed of any changes to the contact information noted above.

requirements vs. ORC certification requirements with Kyle Ketchum, who agreed some of the O&M plan
language was to be rewritten.
Please note:
• The WWTP has routine issues with vegetation over -growth between the fence and sludge containment
wall which should be maintained for access.
• There was a minor amount of cake residuals outside of a drying bed at the WTP that was to be
shoveled back into the containment area. Care should be taken with loading equipment that residuals
are not pushed over the wall.

This inspection was conducted in conjunction with an active land application event on field NC-UN-30-05
and included a records review and tour of residuals processing and storage at the WWTP, but did not
include a visit to the WTP.
Data records and internal logs were found to be in excellent order. The MRO had a couple of questions
about the 2014 AR which were adequately addressed in an email response from Steve Holden on 4-29-15.
The residuals processing, storage and active land application at the field site appeared well managed and in
compliance with permit requirements at the time of inspection.

Inspection Summary: (additional comments may be included on attached pages)
The Land Application 2012 Annual Reports were received in the Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) on
February 25 h, 2013. The reports were reviewed prior to inspection. This inspection included a site visit
to the city of Monroe WTP and WWTP.
All records are maintained at the WWTP and are very well organized for all non -discharge permits. This
facility does an excellent job of maintaining their records. The MRO discussed a couple of data issues with
the 2012 Annual Report. Sodium results missing from soils reports and an apparent spreadsheet issue with
cumulative totals on field NC-UN-26-05. The MRO recommended Monroe investigate these and correct for
future annual reports.
Residuals storage areas at both plants appeared to be in compliance with requirements of the permit, at the
time of inspection. The MRO noted, at the WWTP, heavy vegetation over -growth between the fence and
containment wall, which was mentioned in last year's inspection report. The MRO recommends some
routine maintenance in this area to allow for access.
This permit is currentll in the renewal process and the MRO also conducted field inspections for mapped
buffers on August 22° , 2013. A staff report was submitted to our central office (CO) in Raleigh on August
23`d, 2013. Should you have any questions concerning this renewal you may contact Maria Schutte at the

Subject: Information regarding
Land Application in
Union County
Dear Mr. Gilmartin:
I am writing to give you, and the Town Council, information regarding wastewater residuals land
application in North Carolina. In particular, I will also attempt to address concerns raised about land application
sites in the Weddington area.
Biosolids (wastewater residuals) land application is a beneficial recycling process with economic and
environmental benefits. Biosolids recycling and reuse not only save local and state governments significant
amounts of money through lower disposal costs, but also add nutrients and positive soil characteristics to
agricultural land. The EPA estimates that every day about 1.2 trillion gallons of contaminated water seeps into the
ground in the United States from septic tanks, landfills, agricultural fields, forests and abandoned wells.
Contamination from many of these sources is caused by the lack of controls and restrictions to protect
environmentally sensitive areas. In Weddington, 85% of residents are served by septic systems. The rest of
Weddington's wastewater, is treated by both Mecklenburg and Union County wastewater treatment plants.
The Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and State government regulate land application of
wastewater residuals. The EPA and State program restricts the amount and location of where biosolids can be
applied to protect environmentally sensitive areas and prevent groundwater contamination.
Storm water run-off is one of the major causes of damage to streams and rivers. Studies conducted on farms
have shown that fields applied with biosolids have less runoff of nutrients and pollutants than commercial fertilizers
and animal manures. Additionally, site restrictions such as requiring minimum buffers around streams and other
water bodies further reduce the potential for pollutants to enter surface waters. Residuals are land applied to the
crop's nutrient needs for the current growing season to insure nutrient uptake into the plant and protect
groundwater.
In North Carolina, there are 205 land application (LA) permits for wastewater residuals. In 2004, 169,584
dry tons of residuals were applied across the State. In the Mooresville region, there are 42 LA permits. In Union
County, there are 5 LA permits. Please note that permits for towns in counties other than Union, have land
permitted in Union County for land application. There is a total of 10,011 acres permitted in Union County to
receive residuals.
The attached information is regarding the Weddington area associated with Union County's land
application permit WQ0007486, and the investigation at the Delaney farm and the Walter Staton property by the
Aquifer Protection Section (APS) and the Water Quality Section (WQS) of Division of Water Quality (DWQ).

The Delaney field behind Mr. Staton's home, received three applications of treated wastewater residuals
over a period of 12 months (attachment 1, aerial of Weddington). In each application, the residuals were applied at
less then agronomic rates for the field's needs, just as one would apply commercial fertilizer. These applications
took place on 4/24/02, 12/10/02 and 4/29/03.
The first complaint to WQS (4/29/02) from Mr. Staton was in regards to the color and the smell of a spring
fed stream on his property. Water Quality staff investigated this complaint. The report indicated that Mr. Staton had
naturally occurring iron eating bacteria in the stream, which is not uncommon in the Atlantic Coastal and Piedmont
area (see attachment 2, data from USGS on Leptothrix discophora and attachment 3, photos of Mr. Staton property
6/16/03).
The investigation also included inspection of the surrounding area and revealed that there was no evidence
that the application on Mr. Delaney's farm had encroached onto Mr. Staton's property.
There were two more applications on the subject field as stated above. The Water Quality Section received
another complaint from Mr. Staton on 05/15/03. Ms. Huffman, WQS, spoke with Mr. Staton on 5/22/03 and visited
the site on 6/16/03. This investigation also concluded that there were no signs of run-off from the Delaney Farm.
On 5/23/2003, Mr. Staton called Peggy Finley, APS, to complain about subject application after talking to
Ellen Huffman the day before. He was referred back to Ellen Huffman. On 5/28/2003 Mr. Staton called Mrs.
Peggy Finley again, to complain about arsenic. David Cunningham, Union County Env. Health, reported to MRO
that there is no record of ever checking the Staton well for arsenic. His call was forwarded to Mr. Kevin Bubak,
APS, MRO.
On 6/16/2003, Ellen Huffman and Kevin Bubak visit with Mr. Staton, inspect the area and sample his well.
The sample was analysed for total coliform, metals (including arsenic), and nitrates (attachment 4). Analyses from
the sample reflected positive for total coliform. Mr. Staton was advised to chlorinate his well. This is a standard
procedure for wells that test positive for total coliform. In Union county, 27% of drinking water wells have tested
positive for total coliform as Union county is in a slate belt (attachment 5, graph from Union County Health dept.
report). Mr. Staton was also concerned about nitrate result of .23 ppm (parts per million). He believed that maybe
the land application of residuals on Delaney's farm was to blame. The lab result of .23 ppm nitrates is well below
the 2L drinking water standard of 10 ppm. On 8/04/2003, Kevin Bubak re -samples Walter Staton's well. His well
tested negative for total coliform (attachment 6 & 7).
In conclusion, the Division of Water Quality has found nothing to substantiate any of Mr. Staton's claims.
The Division takes violations of non -discharge permits very seriously and will continue to monitor

Storm water runoff is one of the major causes of damage to streams and rivers. Due to more
intense oversight of application activities, studies conducted on farms have shown that fields applied with

Site restrictions such as requiring minimum buffers around streams and other water bodies further reduce
the potential for residuals to enter surface waters. Residuals are land applied to the crop's nutrient needs

Staton on 5/22/03 and visited the site on 6/16103. This investigation also concluded that there were no
signs of runoff from the Delaney Farm.
On 5123/2003, Mr. Staton called Peggy Finley, DWQ, to complain about subject application after
talking to Ellen Huffman the day before. He was referred back to Ellen Huffman. On 5/28/2003 Mr.
Staton called Mrs. Peggy Finley again, to complain about arsenic in groundwater, which is known to be a
widespread naturally occurring groundwater contaminant through much of the slate belt of North Carolina
including Union County_ Mr. Staton's call was forwarded to Kevin Bubak, DWQ well inspector, who
contacted David Cunningham, Union County Environmental Health, to confirm that there was no previous
record of ever checking the Staton well for arsenic.
On 6/16/2003, Ellen Huffman and Kevin Bubak visited with Mr. Staton to inspect the area and to
sample his well. The well sample was analyzed for total coliform, metals (including arsenic), and nitrates
(attachment 4). Analyses from the sample reflected positive for total coliform and 0.23 ppm (parts per
million) of nitrate detected. Mr. Staton was advised to disinfect or chlorinate his well, which is a standard
procedure for wells that test positive for total coliform. Unfortunately, this is a common problem in the
Weddington area of Union County, as some 27% of drinking water wells have tested positive for total
coliform (attachment 5, graph from Union County Environmental Health Dept_). Mr. Staton was also
concerned about the nitrate result of 0.23 ppm (parts per million). He believed that the land application of
residuals on Delaney's farm was to blame. Nitrate can be a naturally occurring contaminant and the lab
result of 0.23 ppm nitrate is well below the EPA Drinking Water Standard and North Carolina 2L
Groundwater Quality Standard of 10 ppm. Even taken together, these results do not substantiate that
residuals applications are responsible for the contamination found in the well. As some of the most
common groundwater contaminants, potential sources for coliform and nitrates could include things that
are much closer to Mr. Staton's well than the application area such as his septic system or animals living
in or passing through his property. There is also potential that physical problems with his well, combined
with the shallow and highly fractured bedrock in Union County, could be responsible for the detection of
coliform (attachment 6). On 8/04/2003, Kevin Bubak re -sampled Mr. Staton's well after it had been
chlorinated and it tested negative for total coliform (attachment 7).
In conclusion, the Division of Water Quality has found nothing to substantiate Mr. Staton's claims
that land application of residuals has impacted his property. The Division takes violations of non -
discharge permits very seriously and will continue to follow up on complaints and, when appropriate,
enforce against permit holders for violations that result in environmental harm.

INTRODUCTION
Masses of red slime, oily -looking films, and black -coated rocks in natural waters often cause worry
because people think that the water is polluted. When they learn these coatings and films occur in
unpolluted water also, they get curious. Throughout the Anacostia watershed, along the Atlantic Coastal
Plain, in the Piedmont and Shenandoah regions, throughout the fens of Iowa, around the Great Lakes, up
in the Colorado Rockies, and in Hawaii and Alaska, red slime, oily films, and black -coated rocks can be
found anywhere that ground water, which lacks oxygen and carries iron and manganese, discharges into
a stream.
Slimes, oil -like films, and rock coatings are often made by bacteria that are reacting to the presence of
iron and manganese in the water. Bacteria live on the water surface, in the water column, in the
sediment, and at the sediment -water interface. Certain bacteria, the oxidizers, fix oxygen onto iron and
manganese. Other bacteria, the reducers, remove the oxygen. In fixing or removing oxygen, some are
getting energy and others are performing other life functions. Bacteria have been involved in the iron
and manganese cycles for billions of years.
Oil -like film on surface of quiet water at Huntley Meadows Park, Va. The film is often
made by Leptothrix discophora. In the weeks between rainfalls, you can watch the film get
redder and redder as more and more iron oxide forms.
Oily -looking films are usually the most worrisome substances. The way to tell the difference between a
bacterial film and oil floating on the water is to break the film. If the oily film stays broken, it is a
natural bacterial film. If it flows back into place, it is petroleum, which indicates pollution.
Collecting the bacteria and viewing them through a microscope is one way to tell important differences
in the water chemistry from one site to the next. Some bacteria thrive in near -neutral waters, and others
thrive in acid waters. Acid waters can be a result of mining activities.
Looking at these microorganisms in the water is both a growing environmental field and an outdoors

activity that can give hours of enjoyment. Techniques for collecting and studying the iron bacteria are
simple and are presented here. With only minor modification (such as using plastic equipment instead of
glass), these techniques can be incorporated easily into projects for children.
These collecting techniques also work where the precipitate colors are different. Turquoise blue films
may be made by bacteria that precipitate copper minerals. Other bacteria participate in the making of
white slimes of aluminum, sulfur, or calcium minerals. Some green and purple slimes are made by
bacteria that thrive where sulfur is present. Other green and blue-green slimes are made by algae and
cyanobacteria.(also known as. "blue-green algae") that use chlorophyll to participate in photosynthesis.
These are not mineral slimes.
Some people think that all bacteria are bad, but the bacteria that fix metals that are carried by water are
very useful because they remove harmful materials. Who knows? You could be making valuable
observations and collecting new bacteria that could turn water -borne metals into useful products.

Coliform Bacteria
Coliform bacteria are organisms which live in the intestines of humans and animals. They
also can be found in plants, soils and surface water. Presence of these bacteria indicate
that other harmful organisms may be present in the water. Since testing for a specific
disease -causing organism is difficult, the coliform bacteria test is considered the best way
to determine whether or not a water supply is safe from bacterial contamination.
Drinking Water Standard and Health Risks
Water containing any coliform bacteria per 100 milliliters of water, TNTC (too numerous
to count) or CG (confluent growth) should not be used for drinking or cooking unless
boiled for 5 minutes or disinfected by other means. Bacteria and other organisms found in
drinking water can cause intestinal upset as well as diseases such as dysentery, typhoid
and hepatitis.
Possible Source of Contamination
Most bacteria in wells or springs come from surface water contaminated by decayed
animal waste or human activities. As surface water seeps downward through the soil
towards the water table, these bacteria may be naturally removed by the soils. The extent
of removal depends on the depth and character of the soil. In general, shallow wells and
springs are more likely to be contaminated than deep wells. Wells and springs must be
properly located, constructed and maintained in order to prevent surface water from
entering the well or spring.
Presence of coliform bacteria in wells or springs usually result from:
1. Well or spring covers that allow dust, rain, bird droppings, etc. to enter.
2. Wells or springs that are located in areas where surface water covers the well or spring
during the wet periods of the year.
3. Defective steel well -casing seals.
4. Shallow wells or springs with rocked up side walls.
5. Recent changes or repairs to the well or spring, pumps, piping, etc.
6. Improper well location and/or construction.
If you have one or more of the problems described above, it should be corrected. If it is
not corrected, the problem may reoccur, even after repeated disinfection.

The water system may be disinfected by mixing chlorine bleach (Clorox, Dazzle, etc.)
with the water in the well or spring in the following dosages:

DEPTH* 5 FT 10 FT 15 FT 20 FT
DOSAGE 1/2 GAL 1 GAL 1 1/2 GAL 2 GAL
*Approximate amount of water in the bottom of a well and not the total depth of the well.
For a surface SPRING, use 2 gallons.

DOSAGE* 2 1/2C 1 1/2 QT 2 QT 2 1/2 QT 3 QT 3 1/2 QT
QT= quart C= cup
*PLEASE NOTE: A greater amount of chlorine may be needed to disinfect the water
depending on the degree of contamination.
Once the chlorine has been mixed with the water, open all faucets, sillcocks and similar
outlets individually untilyou smell chlorine in each outlet. Allow the mixture to stand in
the system overnight, then flush the chlorine mixture from the system using an outside
faucet and garden hose. DO NOT FLUSH THE MIXTURE INTO YOUR SEPTIC
SYSTEM!! You may resume using the toilet facilities as the septic system is designed to
handle this, but the septic system cannot handle the large amount of water needed to flush
the chlorine from the well. Since the chlorine will kill the grass, be careful where you run
the water outside.
After disinfection, the water supply should be resampled. Resample kits for "bacteria
only" are available. (SEE ENCLOSURE)
Resampling should be done only after the odor of chlorine disappears. It takes about 3 or
4 days of normal water usage before all of the chlorine smell disappears.

Rob,
On May 11, 2001, the Division of Water Quality (Division) approved
K
of presently permitted to receive residuals under Permit No.
013 , issued on March 22, 2000, for the City of Monroe's (City)
late use on an emergency basis only. The emergency approval was
granted with the stipulation that land application activities were to
occur within a 30-day time period.
To date, approximately one million gallons of residuals have been land
applied, which will give the City approximately 30 days additional
storage time at its wastewater treatment plant. However, this land
applied volume was lower than that which was expected due to extremely
variable weather conditions experienced over the last month. As such,
you have requested on the City's behalf that the Division consider
extending the effective term of the emergency approval for 90 additional
days to prevent the development of future storage problems at the
wastewater treatment plant.
In order to ensure continued protection of water quality 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 any sort of
emergency approval request, the Division will allow the continuation of
emergency land application activities on the fields listed in the
Division's May 11, 2001 emergency approval correspondence to the City.
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 90 days of the date of this e-mail 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 again 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, please do not
hestitate to contact me at any time.

I am sending this brief e-mail to confirm our telephone conversation
from earlier this morning regarding the above -referenced permit
situation.
You investigated three sites identified by Synagro Southeast, Inc.
(Synagro) to use for the purpose of emergency residuals land application
(i.e., total estimated land area available for application is 175
acres). Based on information from Synagro, the City needs to have up to
four million gallons of residuals land applied to keep them operational
and in compliance until some of the sites currently permitted into its
program becomes available. Synagro has stated that it plans to assist
the City in permanently modifying the City's permit to include these
three sites into its residuals land application program as soon as this
emergency situation is resolved.
You stated that, in general, the three sites were excellent for the
purposes of land application. Only one of the borings that you advanced
showed some evidence of a high seasonal water table that is within 36
inches of the ground surface. You requested that Synagro provide for
buffering this area out. Otherwise, you stated that you had no
objections associated with allowing emergency land application
activities to proceed on these sites, as long as all other conditions
associated with the permit are adhered to.
I hope that this summarizes your findings accurately. Based on your and
the GW Section's concurrence, we will be preparing an emergency approval
letter to the City.
Thanks,
Shannon

Ellen,
I just wanted to let you know that Kim signed the attached letter

is my understanding that, weather permitting, land application
activities will be commencing on Monday.
I hope that you had a nice time with your grandkids... you are a trooper!

City of Monroe
Land Application of Residuals from the
Treatment of Wastewater
Union County
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, please contact Ms. Shannon Mohr Thornburg

To: Ellen Huffman <Ellen.Huffimn@ncmail net>
Ellen:
In looking at this renewal and the year's annual reports, I worry that the sampling/monitoring plan is
unclear and may not be enough to show compliance. It sounds as if there is a very confusing digester
scenario. Rather than wait for the City to come through with some additional detail through an
additional information response, I talked with Kim this morning about just issuing the permit with
language in the cover letter to urge them to develop more clarity and to review their practices for 40
CFR Part 503 compliance. He also suggested that you may want to put them on your short list for
inspection... more from the WWTP side that the land application site side. Let me know what you find
out if you do get a chance to get over there!
Thanks,
Shannon

Thanks for the update! I did not know that your contract with Synagro South, Inc. had expired, so I
apologize for the confusion.
There really is no sort of notification required except to make sure that your ORC/back-up ORC
designations are correct —in your case, City folks are already designated (some Permittees use Synagro
staff), so it looks like you are o.k. in that regard.
The only other issue that I would verify is that the land application sites in your permit are still yours to
land apply to ... I was under the impression that, in some cases, landowners also signed an agreement
with Synagro.
I hope that this helps, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon!

Synagro is no longer workin for us. Their contract expired on June 30 and we did not renew. We
have ire John Haigler �theWWTP ' the new position of Residuals Coordinator and we will now
be con ucting our own ap ication program. John has about eight years with Synagro in the land
ap business. John also has his land ap certification. We are in the process of rounding up equipment
and hope to be ready to go in about 30 days. I was planning to make you and Ellen aware of this
tie ore we got started so I guess thffwasgood timing. Is there anything we need to do before we
start as far as any other type of notification goes..... Kim

Dear Mr. Hinson:
Enclosed is the land application inspection report for the inspection conducted on July 12,
2001 by Ms. Ellen Huffman with this Office.
The inspection revealed that the City's land application program is well operated and maintained,
including good plant and field conditions. The Mooresville Regional Office received an odor complaint
(for this facility) prior to the inspection. The site visit did not reveal any nuisance or adverse odors at the
plant or the land application site.
The enclosed report should be self-explanatory, however, if you have any questions, please
contact Mrs. Huffman or me at [phone].

Inspection Summary: (additional comments may be included on attached pages)
The City of Monroe is permitted to land apply 2439 dry tons of sludge from the City's WWTP
(NC0080381). Solids handling facilities at the plant appeared to be well maintained. The three
(3) million -gallon aerated sludge storage facility provides plenty of storage and includes a truck
loading station and truck wash. The City requires the contractors to inspect and wash (if needed)
each truck after loading the tanker for transport to the land application site. An odor complaint
was received by the Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) just prior to the time of inspection. No
nuisance odors were detected at the plant or the land application site during the inspection. A
review of our files revealed that no complaints were received by MRO in 2000.

Subject: Temporary Residuals Staging Area
City of Monroe
Permit No. WQ001346
Union County
Dear Mr. Lilly:
This Office is in receipt of your letter dated June 2, 1998 concerning a request to
construct a temporary staging area for dewatered residuals at the subject facility. The temporary
staging area is necessary so that residuals contaminated with various types of debris (stones,
soil, etc.) can be separated from the "clean" residuals. The contaminated residuals are to be
disposed of in a permitted landfill and the "clean" residuals are to be land applied on sites
currently permitted by the Division for land application. In your letter you indicated that the
staging area will consist of a sand/stone berm sized large enough to hold 500 to 700 cubic yards
of residuals. Also, you indicated that the temporary staging area would only be necessary for a
period of sixty (60) days.
Based on our review of this proposal, this Office has no objection to the construction of
a tem op rary (60 day) staging area to allow for the separation of contaminated residuals from
clean residuals. We do, however, recommend that in lieu of sand, the berm be constructed of
soil, which should be more effective in collecting and/or containing stormwater.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Mr. Michael L. Parker
or me at [phone].

RE: Temporary Staging Area for Dewatered Biosolids at City of Monroe WWTP
Permit 4 WQ001346
Dear Rex:
I am writing on behalf of the City of Monroe regarding a request for a temporary staging area
for dewatered biosolids. Mike Parker and I discussed the request during a telephone
conversation on May 28, 1998, The request stems from a need to temporarily stage biosolids
being removed from a storage Iagoon at the plant prior to land application. AMSCO is
currently removing liquid biosolids and will eventually need to remove the remaining
biosolids in cake form.
We estimate that 4,000 cubic yards of cake biosolids will be removed. Approximately 2,000
cubic yards are contaminated with stone, soil and other debris and are scheduled to be land
filled. The other 2,000 cubic yards will be land applied. A temporary staging area is needed
in order to separate the "clean" biosolids from the debris -filled biosolids.
The design of the staging area will be as follows:
1) The staging area will be located adjacent to the storage lagoon.
2) The staging area will be large enough to adequately stage 500 to 750 cubic
yards of biosolids.
3) The staging area will be surrounded by a 3 to 4 foot sand berm on three sides
and a one foot stone berm on the entrance side. Note: The entrance side will
be up gradient so as to reduce the potential for stormwater runoff. Any
P.O.BCDC 1770 significant accumulation of stormwater will be pumped from the staging area
back to the head of the plant.

required, an extension of the 60 day period will be requested.
We would like to begin construction of the staging area by the middle of June. We ask that
you review our request and respond in writing in order that we may meet our mid June start
time.

RE: Acreage Increase City of Monroe Land Application Permit
Permit # WQ001346 66
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.

RE: Acreage Increase City of Monroe Land Application Permit

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 permit modification.
