The State of North Carolina is currently negotiating with EPA to receive the federal
authority and delegation to issue land application perinits for EPA in our State. if this delegation
occurs, this will allow you to avoid having two permits (one from the Mato and one from EPA) for the
same activity, While this delegation process is being pursued; permittees legally are subject to the
new Federal requirements ' ° e, continuing to comply with their existing State issued pertnit, At this
time, the delegation Process is progressing slowly and_the formal approval is still in doubt*
.Also, enclosed is "A Plain glish guide to the EPA Part 503 Biosolids ule " 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 u" ntts,
please do .not hesitate to contact either Lou Polletta or Dianne Williams Wilburnof our staff at 919
733-5083. For further information on the Federal requirements, you should call Vince Miller of the

holds permit no. WQ0000632 to land apply digested cake sludge from
their wastewater treatment plant. Environmental Waste Disposal,
Inc. (EWD) has identified and enlisted an additional farm site to
be included in this agricultural use program as an amendment to
the above mentioned permit.
Records of the sludge analyses have been maintained according to
current permit provisions. Copies of these records are provided
in the ANALYSIS section. The application rate for Spencer's
cake sludge will remain consistent with that which was proposed
originally, 4.2 dry tons per acre.
The section labeled SOILS contains a soil analysis for each site
and recommendation of lime to adjust the soil pH to 6.5 as
required. The sites will be properly limed prior to sludge
application. Each site receiving sludge will be sampled and
analyzed annually to monitor the soils. This section also
contains information published by the Soil Conservation Service
pertaining to the soil types on the proposed application sites.

SOILS INFORMATION
CITY OF SPENCER, NORTH CAROLINA
AGRICULTURAL UTILIZATION - LAND APPLICATION
Environmental Waste Disposal, Inc. (EWD) has identified 94.3
total acres for the Spencer Agricultural Utilization program.
An estimated total of 88.8 acres are applicable for sludge
application. The applicable acres were determined by elimin-
ating all buffer zones required by The North Carolina Department
of Environment, Health and Natural Resources. All other areas
with restrictive features were ruled unacceptable and excluded
from the determination of applicable acres.
The staff of the Soil Conservation Service are in the procest of
upgrading the county's Soi�l Survey. The SCS Vag iAstfuntental in
determining tbe soil types in many of the sites included in this
land application program atd their asaista"e is greatly appreciated.
the predominate soil type encountered on the Proposed application
sites wag the Gaston (Hiwasse) series. This soil series is an excellent
candidate for sludge application because it is a deep, well drained
toll suitable for many aqriculturaluses.
The descriptions contain the representative profiles of the
soil types found on the proposed sites. The auger borings,
advanced on the sites were typical of these series and varied
only slightly in the depth of the horizons. The approximate
location of the auger borings are indicated on the site maps
with X's.
Given the naturally low fertility of these soil types a well
managed sludge application program should provide beneficial
nutrients and soil amending properties to these sites.

The Town, of Spencer, s Rowan County; - North Carolina
generates approximately 15 toms of digested ,cake sludge
at they "vista Water Treatment Plant, They sludge is dried
on drying beds- and is approximately a solids. The
Town of Spencer swishesto implement an agricultural use
program through land application of the sludge generated
at the plant.
Environmental Waste Disposal, lnc., ( has been
contracted by the Town of Spencer to design an
agricultural utilization program, and to prepare the
application for permit packet, as well as remove,.
transport and land apply the sludge
The enclosed sludge analysis indicates that, the
sludge is non --toxic and non -hazardous and will offer
beneficial nutrients and soil atmend rs when applied to
the land.
The sludge volume of teams will require
approximately four acres annually to utilize the sludge:
e are submitting total of 71.53 acres. After all
buffer zones and restrictions as -re implemented rented there will
be an estimated 60 applicable acres
The cake sludge will be loaded in D's specially
designed cake sludge transport and application vehicle:
The sludge will be leaded sea aas, not to cause any
spillage in route to the approved application sites
The sludge will then be applied at agronomic rates to
the site, The sites identified are hay and pasture and
therefore the sludge will be applied to the surface, and
not incorporated.
The annual acreage required for this agricultural
use program is, four acres. We are applying for approval
of 60 applicable acres The sludge will be applied to aa.
four acre `area` each year, and the area applied will be
defined on the enclosed field map, The four acre areas
will receive sludge approximately every 15 years.
All buffer zones, specifications and restrictions
required the North Carolina Department of Natural
Resources and Community Development governing Laird
application will be strictly followed.

Town of Spencer
Method of Operation
Page 2
The date, dry tons applied, field number, a copy
of the field map with area applied highlighted, and
pounds per acre applied of the required constituents
will be recorded and submitted to the Town of Spencer,
the farmer and the DNR within 30 days of application.
'The proposed application rate and the rotation
schedule of this agricultural utilization project will
hopefully eliminate the need for ground water
monitoring wells.

foils Information
irxltrrtion Ian tad ;ont
Band anger borings were advanced at several
locations to verify the sail types, texture etc. fir.
Tip McChachren, Soil Scientist, with the Soil
Conservation Service has just recently completed the
updated sail survey for Rowan County, North Carolina.
You will notice on the "Soil Identification Legend
Rowan County, North Carolina" that the sails previously
named Hiwassod have been changed to Gaston, in an
attempt to standardize the soil classifications in the
sate.
Soil Mastresults and soil auger borings indicate
that the proposed sites are well suited for land
application. The predominate snail series are Cecil
and Gaston.
The soil samples indicate that lime will be needed
to adjust the pH of the sites to a pH of 6.5, The
recommended lire additions are attached .to the soil
analysis,

CECIL SERIES
The Cecil series consists of well drained moderately permeable
soils that formed in residuum weathered fromacid crystalline
rocks of the Piedmont uplands. Slopes range from 0 to 25
percent.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Clayey, kaolinitic, thermic Typic Hapludu"Its.
TYPICAL PEDON: Cecil sandy loam --forested.
(Colors are for moist soil unless othervise
stated.)
01--2 tot inches; very dark grayish brown (2.5Y 3/2)
partially decayed leaves and twigs. (0 to 3 inches thick)
A­0 to 2 inches; dark grayish brown (10YR 4/2) sandy loam;
weak medium granular structure; very friable; many fine roots;
strongly acid; clear wavy boundary. (2 to 5 inches thick)

RANGE Its CHARACTERISTICS: Thickness of the clayey Bt horizon
ranges from 24 to 48 inches and it extends to a depth of 30 to 60
inches below the surface. Depth to bedrock is greater than 6.5
feet and ranges to 10 feet or more. The soil ranges from very
strongly acid to medium acid in the A horizons and is strongly
acid or very strongly acid in the R and C horizons. Content of
coarse fragments of gravel and cobble size range from C to 20
percent by volume in the A horizon and C to 10 percent by volume
in the Et horizons. most pedons have few to common flakes of mica
in the A and Et horizons and few to many flakes of mica in the EC
and C horizons..
The A or Ap horizon has hue of 2.5YR to 10YR, value of .3 to 5#
and chroma of 2 to 8. The E horizon, where present', has lease of
I.5YR or 10YR, value of 4 to 6, and chroma of 3 to 8. The
horizon is sandy loam, fine sandy loam, loam, or their gravelly
snaiogues Eroded phases are.: sandy clay loam or clay loam.
The BA horizon, where present, has hue of 2.5YR to 2.5YR, value
of 4 to 6, and chrome of 3 to R. I1 is sandy clay loam, loam, or

GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: Cecil soils are on nearly level to steep
Piedmont uplands. Shape gradients are C to 25 percent, most
ommonl.y between 2 and 15 percent. These sails have developed in
weathered acid crystalline rocs, Average annual precipitation.
is about 48 inches. Mean annual soil temperature is about 59
degrees F.
GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: In addition to the competing
Appling, Catania, Chestate , Cullen, 1Eikwas ee, Madison,
Mecklenburg, Pacolet and Wedowee series these are the Durham,
Louisburg, Rion, ; and Worsham series, Durham, Louisburg, and Pion:
soils contain leas clay and Worsham soils are poorlydrained.In
addition, Louisburg soils do not have a continuous argill c
horizon.
DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: EABILITY: Well drained; medium to rapid runoff;
medium internal drainage, moderate permeability.
USE AND VEGETATION: About half' of the total acreage is in
cultivation with the remainder, in pasture and forest. Common
crops are small grains, corn, cotton, and tobacco
DISTRIBUTION AIEEI EXTENT: Piedmont area of Alabama., Georgia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. The series is of large
extent, with an area of more than 10,000,000 acres.
SERIES ESTABLISHED: Cecil County, Maryland; 1 99�,,.
REMARKS: This revision uses a relationship between the thickness
of the clayey Eat horizon and depth below the surface that this
horizon extends as, criteria for differentiating the series from
acolet. Also, it includes those soils of 5YR hue that are free
of evident patterns of mottling as a subhori on of Rt or BC,

GASTON SERIES
The Gaston series consists of well drained, moderately permeable soils on
ridges and side slopes of the Piedmont uplands. They formed in residuum
weathered from mixed acid and basic crystalling rock such as granite, gneiss,
quartz diorite, gabbro, and tonalite. Slopes range from 0 to 25 percent.
Taxonomic Class: Clayey, mixed, thermic is Hapludults.
Gaston sandy clay loam -- cultivated. (Colors are for moist
soil unless other -wise stated.)
Ap--O to 5 inches; dark reddish brown (5YR 3/4); yellowish red (5YR 5/4)
dry; sandy clay loam, weak medium granular structure; friable ; many fine roots;
slightly acid; clear smooth boundary. (3 to 10 inches thick.)
BtI--5 to 14 inches; dark red (2.5YR 3/6) clay; moderate medium subangular
blocky structure; firm; sticky, plastic; common fine and few medium roots; common
distinct clay films on face of peds; few black streaks; moderately acid; gradual
wavy boundary. (5 to 30 inches thick.)
Ott--14 to 47 inches; red (2.5YR 4/6) clay; few medium distinct reddish
yellow (7.5YR 6/8) mottles; moderate medium subang4lar blocky structure; fi m;
sticky, plastic; common fine roots; common distinct clay films on faces of peels;
few fine flakes of mica; few black streaks; moderately acid; clear wavy
boundary. (10 to 45 inches thick.)
BC--47 to 57 inches;, red (2.5YR 4/6) clay loam; common meth um distinct
reddish yellow (7.5YR 6/8) mottles; weak medium subangular blocky structure;

,Ye 'Location: Gaston County, North Carolina; 5 miles south of Belmont on
NC Highway 273; 0.9 mile south on State Road 25; 500 feet south on field road;
250 feet west of road.
Range of Characteristics: Thickness of the clayey Bt horizon ranges from 24 to
48 inches, and it extends to a depth of 34 to 58, inches below the surface. Depth
to bedrock is greater than 6 feet. The soil ranges from strongly acid to slightly
acid unless limed.- Most edons have few to common flakes of mica in the 8
horizon and few to -many flakes of mica in the BC and C horizons.
The A or Ap horizon has hue of 2,5YR to 7,5YR, value of 3, and chroma of 3
to 6. It is loam, fine sandy loam, sandy clay loam, or clay loam.
The Bt horizon has hue of 1OR or 2.5YR, value of 3 or 4, and chroma of 4 to
8. Value of 3 is restricted to the upper part of the Bt horion.> High chroma
mottles and dark streaks or stains occur in most pedons. it is clay or clay loam.
The BC horizon, if present, has -hue of 2.5YR to 5YR, 'value 4 to 6, and chroma
of 4 to 8. High chroma, mottles and dark streaks or stains occur in most pedons.
It is clay loam, sandy clay loam, or loam.
The C horizon is commonly multicolored in shades of red, yellow, and brown.
It is saprolite weathered from mixed acid and basic crystalline rock that easily
crushes to loamy textures.
Dom etin ey es: The Farragut series is the only other known series in the same
family. Farragut soils contain more silt and are formed from a thin layer of
colluvium over shale residuum. Series in closely related families are the Cecil,
Clifton, Coronaca, Cullen, Davidson, Georgeville, Gwinnett, Hanceville. Hiwassee,
Madison, Mecklenburg, Pacolet, Stoneville, and Tatum soils. Cecil, Coronaca,
_dMIL
qP
Davidson, Georgeville, Gwinnett, Hiwassee, Madison, and Pacolet soils are kaolinitic.
In addition, Cecil, Georgeville, Madison, and Pacolet soils do not have horizons

with moist value less than 4.
Madison soils have a high content of mica flakes,
Pacolet soils have thinner clayey horizons, and Coronaca soils are less acid.
Also, Coronaca, Davidson, Gwinnett, and Hiwassee soils have rhodic colors throughout
or in the upper meter of the argillic horizon. Cullen soils do not have A horizons
thicker than 5.9 inches that have moist value less than 3.5. Hanceville and
Stoneville soils have rhodic colors throughout the argillic horizon and have
formed in residuum weathered from sedimentary rock. Clifton, Mecklenburg, and
Tatum soils do not have A horizons thicker than 6 inches that have moist value less
than 4. Also, Clifton soils are mesic, Mecklenburg soils are less acid and have
slow peniieability, and Tatum soils have formed in sericite schist or phyllite.
Geographic betting: Gaston soils are on gently sloping to moderately steep
uplands of the Piedmont Plateau. Slope gradients are dominantly 2 to 15 percent,
but range from 0 to 25 percent. These soils formed in residuum weathered from
mixed basic and acidic crystalline rocks such as quartz diorite, granite, gabbro,
hornblende gneiss, mafic gneiss, and tonalite. Near the type location, overage
annual precipitation is about 48 inches. can -annual temperature is about 590F.
Geographically Associated Soils: In additon to the competing Cecil, Cullen,
Davidson, Gwinnett, Hiwassee, Madison, and Pacolet series, these are the Enon, Helena,
Sedgefield, and Worsham series, Enon, Helena and Sedgefield soils"have yellower
hue and low chroma mottles in the B horizon. Worsham soils have dominant chrome
of 2 or less. Enon, Helena, and Sedgefield soils are on top slopes and smoother
parts of ridges. Worsham soils are in depressions and along intermittent drains.
Pacolet soils are on side slopes. The other soils occur in the same landscape
positions as Gaston soils.
Drainage and PermeaOlit Well drained; medium to rapid runoff; medium internal
drainage; moderate permeability.
Use and _Vegetation: More than hal'f of the acreage is in cultivation or pasture
with the remainder in forest. Crops include small grains, corn, soybe"ans, hay and

Gaston Series

pasture plants. In forested areas, shortleaf pine, lobllly pine, Virginia pine,
hickory, northern red oak, red maple, black oak, eastern white pine, yellow -
poplar, white oak, and sweetgum are common trees. The understory includes
flowering dogwood, grape, sourwood, common trumpetcreeper, witchhazel, common
pe,rsimmon, winged elm, eastern redbud, eastern red cedar, sassafras, eastern
hophornbeam, and American holly.
Distribution and Extent: Piedmont areas of North Carolina, and possibly Virginia,
South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama. The series is of urge extent.
Series Proposed. Easton County, North Carolina; 1983.
Remarks: This series was formerly included with Cullen series and originally
fitted in the concept of the Lloyd series in North Carolina. The large acreage
5,000 acres in Gaston and Lincoln Cos., NC of soil similar to Cullen but having
dark surface layers with moist value less than 3.5 and dry value less than 6 in the
p horizon supports proposal of this series.

be applied within 400 feet of any dwelling.
PART II - DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED SLUDGE LAND APPLICATION
PROGRAM
The Town of Spencer operates a .75 MGD wastewater treatment
facility. Sludge is dewatered on drying beds. This sludge is
currently being disposed at the County landfill, but due to
pending regulatory ch;,-iges, the Town is seeking an alternative
means of disposal.
The facility generates an estimated fifteen (15) tons of
dewatered sludge per year. The application document contains an
analysis of a composite sample of the sludge which indicates

that it is non -hazardous and has no unusual metal
concentrations.
It should be noted that the Fawn°s wastewater treatment
plant receives very little industrial wastewater less than l )
The Town proposes to apply sludge by surface spreading over
the hay/pasture sites.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The permitted, Town of Spencer, has requested a modification
to their existing Permit consisting of adding seven fields for
sludge land application. The seven fields are located on a farm
owned by M. H. Potts and operated by G. Small, Mr. Small owns
the farm currently used for sludge land application by the Town
of Spencer.
Soils in this area appear to be deep and high in clay
content. Reports show a depth to groundwater greater than 6 feet,

Page Three
no wet areas wer(,'.! noted during the f ield inspection. Bedrock
does not appear to be a problem, none was enc,,',,untcred during soil
sampling and no rock outcrops wrere noted durling field inspection..
Buffer zones will be needed in several areas. A 50 foot
buffer for the small wet -weather drainage ways are needed in
Fields No. 4 and No. 7. A 400 foot buffer is needed for the
house in the southeast corner of the property. This house is
owned by Mr. Potts; however, he is leasing out the house. A 400
foot buffer is needed for the house adjacent to the west property
line at the junction of Field No. 1 and No. 3. A 100 foot buffer
zone is needed along the south and west property line of Field
No. 1 and the south property line of Field No. 3. There is a
three-phase power line through Field No. 3, No. 6 and No. 7.
This Duke Power right-of-way should not be a problem since there
is no public access to this right-of-way. Duke Power may need to
be notified.
This site appears well suited for sludge land application.
This office recommends approval, of the proposed modifications.
