All,
The instructions for completing the forms were changed in 2014 to indicate the land applied should always sign
that form. The instructions should change to reflect that the Preparer sign off on "process" systems (options 1 -
8) and the land applied sign off on injection or incorporation (options 9 - 10). Also since the permit required
only pathogen reduction, no vector attraction reduction was required by permit.
I understand Bev's question, now that I looked back at the instructions.

Subject: 2014 Annual report for Huffman finishing WQ0002431
Chonticha and Bev,
On November 10 and 11, 2014 Huffman Finishing made applications in accordance with the permit listed
above. The issue data of that permit was May 30, 2006. The permit at the time of application required that
pathogen be monitored but did not specify any vector attraction reduction be performed. Fecal samples were
collected that collected and reported on the pathogen reduction and vector attraction reduction certification
form. Mr. Shuford Wise, W WTP ORC signed this form as Preparer. The form was checked to indicate that
"No vector attraction reduction activities were performed". As I understand it, I was sent the attached Review
Inspection letter indicating that the land application ORC should have signed the pathogen reduction and
vector attraction reduction certification form.
It has been my belief that the land applier is not required to sign this form unless they are responsible for
meeting vector attraction reduction for the program through either Alternative 9 ( Injection) or Alternative 10
Incorporation). It is for that reason that underneath the land Applier Name, title, and signature portion of the
form (located at the bottom right) the phrase (if applicable) is listed. As I understand it, the applicability
and/or need of the this statement to be completed is only necessary if vector attraction reduction requirements
are listed in the permit as required to be met AND injection or incorporation was met by the land applier to
fulfill that requirement.
If there has been any recent guidance( EPA or NCDENR) that has changed the interpretation or completion of
the Pathogen and Vector Attraction Reduction Certification Form please forward that to me.

In the meantime this permit has been renewed and is required to perform both pathogen and vector attraction
measures. If application is made under the current permit, Huffman Finishing will be required to perform both
pathogen reduction and vector Attraction Reduction requirements. If vector attraction reduction is met by
injection or incorporation then the land applied will sign this portion of the certification form.

Bev,
As we discussed earlier, Ed has proposed the language in the instructions be changed to make it more consistent with
CFR 503's interpretation. I can certainly understand how you thought the land applier's signature was needed based on
the instructions that were modified in 2014.
With Ed's change, I understand that the pathogen and vector page for Huffman Finishing's Annual 2014 does not need
to be signed by the land applier. Based on our discussions earlier today, the current 2014 annual report does not need
to be modified.
Please continue to keep me informed if there is any questions on this program or others that I am involved.

Inspection letter indicating that the land application ORC should have signed the pathogen reduction and
vector attraction reduction certification form.
It has been my belief that the land applier is not required to sign this form unless they are responsible for
meeting vector attraction reduction for the program through either Alternative 9 ( Injection) or Alternative 10
Incorporation). It is for that reason that underneath the land Applier Name, title, and signature portion of the
form (located at the bottom right) the phrase (if applicable) is listed. As I understand it, the applicability
and/or need of the this statement to be completed is only necessary if vector attraction reduction requirements
are listed in the permit as required to be met AND injection or incorporation was met by the land applier to
fulfill that requirement.
If there has been any recent guidance( EPA or NCDENR) that has changed the interpretation or completion of
the Pathogen and Vector Attraction Reduction Certification Form please forward that to me.
In the meantime this permit has been renewed and is required to perform both pathogen and vector attraction
measures. If application is made under the current permit, Huffman Finishing will be required to perform both
pathogen reduction and vector Attraction Reduction requirements. If vector attraction reduction is met by
injection or incorporation then the land applied will sign this portion of the certification form.

[15ANCAC'02T .1108]
9. Land application areas shall be clearly marked on each site prior to and during any residuals
application event. [15A NCAC 02T .0108(b)(1)]
10. Bulk residuals and other sources of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) shall not be applied in
exceedance of agronomic rates. Appropriate agronomic rates shall be calculated using expected
nitrogen requirements based on the determined Realistic Yield Expectations ,(RYE) using any of the

(httR://www.ncaer.gov/SWC/tech/documents/9th Guidance Doe 100109 pdfl.
iii. Certified Nutrient Management Plan as outlined by the Natural Resources Conservation
Services (MRCS). These plans must meet the USDA-NRCS 590 Nutrient Management
Standards(ftp://ft-fe.se.egov.usda.gov/NH6/Practice-standards/standards/590.pdf).
d. If the RYE and appropriate nutrient application rates cannot be determined, the Permittee shall
contact the Division to determine necessary action.
[15A NCAC 02T .1109(b)(1)(lc)]
11. When residuals are land applied to grazed pasture, hay crop realistic nitrogen rate shall be reduced by
25% in.accordauce with the USDA-NRCS 590 Nutrient Management Standards. [15A NCAC 02T
.0108(b)(1)]
12. If land application sites are to be over -seeded or double -cropped (e.g., bermuda grass in'the summer
and rye grass in the winter with both crops to receive residuals), then the, second crop can receive an
application of PAN at a rate not to exceed 50 pounds per acre per year (lbs/ac/yr). This practice may
be allowed as long as the second crop is to be harvested or grazed. If the second crop is to be planted
for erosion control only and is to be tilled into the soil, then no additional PAN shall be applied. [15A
NCAC'02T .0108(b)(1)]
13. Prior to land application of residuals containing a sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) of 10 or higher, the
Pennittee shall obtain and implement recommendations from at least one of the following: the local
Cooperative Extension Office; the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services; the Natural
Resource Conservation Service; a North Carolina Licensed Soil Scientist; or an agronomist. The
.recommendations shall address the sodium application rate, soil amendments (e.g., gypsum, etc.),: or a
mechanism for maintaining site integrity and conditions conducive to crop growth. The Permittee
,shall maintain written records of these.recommendations_and details of their implementation. [15A
NCAC -02T .0108(b)(1)]
14. These, residuals land application sites were individually permitted on or after December 30, 1983;
therefore, the compliance boundary is established at either 250 feet from the residual land application
area, or 50 feet within'the property boundary, whichever is closest to the residual land application
area. An exceedance of groundwater standards at or beyond the compliance boundary is subject to
remediation action according to 15A NCAC 02L .0106(d)(2) as well as enforcement actions in
accordance with North CarolinaGeneral Statute 143-215,6A through 143-215.6C. Any approved
relocation of the COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY will be noted in Attachment B. [15A NCAC 02L
.0107(a)]
15. The review boundary shall be established midway between the compliance boundary and the residual
land application area. Any exceedance of groundwater standards at the review boundary shall require
action in accordance with ISA NCAC 02L .0106. [15A NCAC 02L .0108]
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. The residuals management program shall be properly maintained and operated at all times. The
program shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent any
contravention of surface water or groundwater standards. [15A NCAC 02T .1110]
2. The Asheville Regional Office, telephone number [phone], and theappropriate local
government official (i.e., county manager, city, manager, or health difector) shall be notified at least
48 hours prior to the initial residuals land application to any new land application site. Notification to

excluding State Holidays. [I'5ANCAC.02T.0108(b)(1)]
W00002431 Version 3.0 Shell Version 150101 Page 4 of 12

3. The Asheville Regional Office shall be notified via email or telephone, [phone], at least 24
hours prior to conducting any land application activity. Such notification shall indicate, at a
minimum, the anticipated application times, field IDs, and location of land application activities. If it
becomes necessary to apply to additional fields due to unforeseen events; the Regional Office shall be
notified prior to commencing the application to those fields, [15A NCAC 02T ,0108(b)(1)]
4. The Permittee shall maintain an approved Operation and Maintenance Plan (O&M Plan)
Modifications to the O&M Plan shall be approved by the Division prior to utilization of the new plan.
The O&M Plan,.at the minimum,; shall include: ;
a. Operational functions; ,

V. ADDITIONAL REGIONAL STAFF REVIEW ITEMS
The RSC 08 13 fecal coliform sample data does not match the data Presented on the contract lab data sheets.
However, in both cases the geometric mean would still be <2 million.
Questions submitted via e-mail 1/7/15:
1. Rotation of land application sites due to high Zinc levels? The ORC could not account for high Zinc levels in the
Past The facility is permitted for 250MGD but flows are considerably less (approximately 30,000-40,000gpo)
now. Higher Zinc levels might have been associated with the facility at full capacity. Since 2004 residuals have
so maybe this should stay in the permit.
2. Permittee is in agreement to reduce TCLP monitoring to once/permit cycle.

Subject: Changes to groundwater monitoring requirements
Huffman Finishing WWTP
Caldwell County
Dear Mr. Huffman,
Your current NPDES permit (NC0025135) requires triannual monitoring at two
groundwater monitoring wells for the following parameters: chemical oxygen demand (COD),
metals, nutrients, sulfate, total dissolved solids (TDS), total organic carbon (TOC) and volatile
organic compounds (annually). The purpose of these monitoring requirements is to determine
if your wastewater treatment plant is in compliance with current groundwater standards. It is
important to note that water quality monitoring has been continuous since February 1992.
A review of the historical data does not indicate any confirmed violations other than pH
which appears to be attributed to natural background conditions. Therefore, it is recommended
that the groundwater monitoring requirements associated with your current NPDES permit be
rescinded with the stipulation that the two monitoring wells be properly abandoned according
to the North Carolina Administrative Code 15A 2C Section 0.100. A separate copy of the well
abandonment form (GW-30) should be sent to the Aquifer Protection Section's Asheville
Regional Office at the address listed below.

Dear Beverly Price,
In doing research on the requested RCI reports we have found the following
information. We spoke with A& L labs who has mostly done our testing in the past. They
are aware that all NC companies have to have the RCI included so therefore they always
sent it to us and we never needed to check the request for the RCI. We then contacted
ESC, our new Lab to see if they alsolnew to do the RCI and if they didn't just send . us
the report. They said they do not automatically include the RCI with the TCLP. They do
not still have the sample as they only keep them about two months so they cannot
perform the RCI. Since 2004 we have never had a problem with this. We will be sending
a letter to ESC labs to let them know that anytime Bio-Green requests a TCLP we must
have the RCI included also. We will follow up with next years Chain of Custody to make
sure the RCI is marked for testing.
We apologize for any delay or inconvenience to you. Thank you for informing us of this
situation and be assured that it will not be a problem in the firture.
Sincerely,
Ray Gambill,

Dear Mr. Davidson,
!JL 0 6 20
Asheville Regional 01fic6
Please find attached requested information not included in 2009 annual report.
TCLP was omitted due to using a new vendor. This vendor had a slow process but the
test was performed during the correct time frame for the permit. Other forms have been
corrected and submitted. All corrective actions have been completed and are included
with this packet.
Please accept our apologies fro any inconvenience this may have caused.

Secretary
On May 13, 2010, staff of the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ), Aquifer Protection Section (APS),
inspected the subject wastewater treatment and disposal system. We wish to thank Mr. Shuford Wise,
ORC, who was present and assisted during then inspection.
The following items specify permit conditions related to the 2009 Annual Report that were in violation
during the time of the inspection. (Also please refer to the attached inspection report):
MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Condition 2. Requires a corrosivity, ignitability, and reactivity analysis as well as a Toxicity
Characteristics Leaching Procedure (TCLP) analysis be conducted on residuals generated by each
residuals source generating facility listed in the most recent -certified Attachment A of this permit. The
analyses shall be performed at the frequency specified in the most recently -certified Attachment A of this
permit.
The corrosivity, ignitability and reactivity analysis was not included in the 2009 Annual Report

Condition 3. Requires a Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) calculation as part of the residuals analysis.
The PAN calculation was not included in the 2009 Annual Report.
You are required to take any necessary action to correct the above violations and to provide a
written response to this Notice by July 1, 2010. Please include in your response all corrective actions
already taken and a schedule for completion of any corrective actions not addressed.
Failure to comply with conditions in a permit may result in a recommendation of enforcement action, to
the Director of the Division of Water Quality who may issue a civil penalty assessment of not more that
twenty-five thousand ($25,000) dollars against any "person" who violates or fails to act in accordance
with the terms, conditions, or requirements of a permit under authority of G.S. 143-215.6A. Please note
that each day a violation continues may be considered a separate violation, subject to additional civil
penalties.
In addition, the Annual Pathogen & Vector Attraction Reduction Form was not filled out correctly.
Based on the data submitted, Alternative 1 should have been selected to show pathogen reduction
verification rather than aerobic digestion. The geometric mean calculation was not calculated properly.
The analytical method should be indicated on the form. Please re -calculate and re -submit the Form. The
results on the Residuals Sampling Form do not match the lab data sheets. Please review and re -submit
the Form.
If you have any questions concerning this Notice, please contact Beverly Price at 828-296-4500

Land Application of Residual Solids (Non-503)
Caldwell County
Dear Mr. Huffman:
In accordance with your application package for permit renewal and modification received on
January 24, 2004, we are forwarding herewith a modified and renewed Permit No. WQ0002431, dated
May 30, 2006, to the Huffman Finishing Company for the continued operation of the subject residuals
land application program.
9,61 S
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until April 30, 294-1-, shall void Permit No.
W00002431, issued on September 30, 1999, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as
specified therein. Please note that new conditions have been added which include pathogen requirements
(Condition I.7); timely notification prior to initial residual land application on any site (Conditions I.10 &
I.11); actions to be taken if the residuals have a high sodium concentration (Condition II.10); restrictions
on nitrogen loadings (Condition II.11); monitoring pathogens (Condition IIIA); and the sampling of
residuals prior to their application (Condition III.5). Please also make note of this permit's expiration
date and the fact that a permit renewal application is due to the Division of Water Quality (Division) no
later than six months prior to that date (i.e., see Condition VI. 7.), as the Division does not send reminders
to apply for permit renewal.
This permit approves the continued operation of the residuals land application program for
another five-year cycle. This permit is being issued to modify the program by decreasing the amount of
approved area on which residual application takes place. This is being performed as a result of revised
buffers on the existing sites and does not involve the addition or the removal of application sites. Please
note that this permit is being issued only in a new format to facilitate new permit review procedures that
have been put into place by the Division. As always, remember to take the time to review this permit
thoroughly, as some of the conditions contained therein may have been added, changed, or deleted since
the last issuance. Pay particular attention to the monitoring requirements in this permit. Failure to
establish an adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required operational information! will

9. An acceptable pH shall be maintained in the soil, residuals, and lime mixture, greater than 6.0,
on all land application sites onto which residuals are land applied to ensure optimum yield for
the crops specified in Condition II. 13. The agronomist shall provide information on the pH
best suited for the specified crop and the soil type. -
10. Should any of the residuals generated by the residuals source -generating facilities listed in the
most recently -certified Attachment A of this permit contain a high salt content (i.e., high
sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) of five or higher), the exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP)
or other method as approved by the Division, using the results from the annual soils analysis
as required by this permit, shall be monitored on all of the land application sites. The local
Cooperative Extension Office, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the
Natural Resource Conservation Service, a North Carolina -licensed Soil Scientist, or other
agronomist shall review the results and make recommendations regarding soil amendments
(e.g., gypsum, etc.) or other ameliorative mechanism for maintaining the integrity of the site in
terms of suitability for land application of residuals and maintaining conditions conducive to
crop growth. The Permittee shall implement such recommendations accordingly and shall
maintain written records of each monitoring event that includes details of the sites covered
and rate of soil amendment application.

11. Prior to land applying residuals to any land application site that has previously received or is
intended to receive animal waste (e.g., poultry litter, etc.) or other source of nutrients (e.g.,
fertilizer, etc.) in the future, the Permittee shall obtain information pertaining to the volume
and analysis of the applied waste/nutrients from the landowner and/or lessee/operator of the
site. The Permittee shall be responsible for verifying the volume of residuals that may be land
applied to the site such that the plant available nitrogen (PAN) loading rate for the specified
crop (i.e., see Condition II. 13.) shall not be exceeded by all of the sources of PAN applied.
Should the maximum PAN loading rate be met or exceeded, then no additional residuals shall
be land applied to the site.
12. A suitable vegetative cover, as listed in Condition II. 13., shall be maintained on land
application sites onto which residuals are land applied in accordance with the crop
management plan outlined by the local Cooperative Extension Office, the Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, or other
agronomist and as approved by the Division.
13. Residuals and other sources of PAN shall be land applied to all land application sites at
agronomic rates in accordance with the crop management plan outlined by the local
Cooperative Extension Office, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer
Services, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, or other agronomist. Under no
circumstances shall the following PAN loading rates land applied to any site exceed the
following for the specified crops:

The Permittee shall apply for and receive a modification of this permit before land applying
residuals on any land application site that is to be established in a crop other than those listed
above. A maximum PAN loading rate for the desired crop shall be approved with the permit
modification.
If the land application sites are to be overseeded (e.g., bermuda grass in the summer andl rye
grass in the winter with BOTH crops to receive residuals), then the second crop shall receive
an application of PAN at a rate of no greater than 50 pounds per acre per year. This practice
shall be allowed as long as the second crop is to be harvested. If the second crop is'to be
planted for erosion control only and is to be tilled into the soil, then no residuals shall be land
applied to these sites because the PAN will essentially be returned to the soil.
G1

Residuals shall not be land applied at rates greater than agronomic rates, unless authorized by
the Division.
14. Animals shall not be grazed on any land application site for 30 days after any residuals land
application event. Sites that are to be used for grazing shall have fencing that will be used to
prevent access after each event.
15. Food crops, feed crops, and fiber crops that do not come in contact with the residuals shall not
be harvested for 30 days after any residuals land application event.
16. Food crops with harvested parts that touch the residual/soil mixture and are totally above the
land surface (e.g., tobacco, melons, cucumbers, squash, etc.) shall not be harvested for 14
months after any residuals land application event.
17. Food crops with harvested parts below the surface of the land (i.e., root crops such as potatoes,
carrots, radishes, etc.) shall not be harvested for 20 months after any residuals land application
event when the residuals remain on the land surface for four months or longer prior to
incorporation into the soil.
18. Food crops with harvested parts below the surface of the land shall not be harvested for 38
months after any residuals land application event when the residuals remain on the land
surface for less than four months prior to incorporation into the soil.
19. Turf shall not be harvested for one year after any residuals lan&application event
20. Adequate provisions shall be taken to prevent wind erosion and surface runoff from conveying
residuals from the land application sites onto adjacent properties or into any surface waters.
21. Adequate procedures shall be provided to prevent surface runoff from carrying any land
applied or stored residuals into any surface waters.
22. Surface -applied residuals shall be plowed or disced within 24 hours after land application on
land application sites with no cover crop established.
23. For land application sites that are prone to flooding or within the 100-year flood elevation,
residuals shall be land applied only during periods of dry weather. The residuals shall be
incorporated into the soil within 24 hours after land application.
24. Residuals shall not be land applied during inclement weather or until 24 hours following a
rainfall event of 0.5-inch or greater in 24 hours. Any emergency residuals land application
measures shall first be approved in writing by the Division.
25. Residuals shall not be land applied to any land application site that is flooded, frozen, or
snow-covered.
26. Appropriate measures shall be taken to control public access to the land application sites
during active site use and for the 12-month period following the last residuals land application
event. Such controls may include the posting of signs indicating the activities being
conducted at each site.

M. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Any monitoring (i.e., including groundwater, surface water, residuals, soil, or plant tissue
analyses) deemed necessary by the Division to ensure protection of the environment shall be
established, and an acceptable sampling and reporting schedule shall be followed.
2. Residuals generated by each residuals source -generating facility listed in the most -recently -

(TCLP) analysis shall be conducted on residuals generated by each residuals source -
generating facility listed in the most recently -certified Attachment A of this permit. The
analyses shall be performed at the frequency specified in the most recently -certified
Attachment A of this permit, and the results shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for a
minimum of five years. If residuals generated by a particular residuals source -generating
facility are land applied at a frequency less than that which is specified in the most recently -
certified Attachment A of this permit, the analyses shall be required for each residuals land
application event. Only residuals that are generated by the residuals source -generating
facilities that are identified as being exempt from this condition in the most recently -certified
Attachment A of this permit shall not be required to comply with this monitoring requirement.

After the residuals have been monitored as specified above for two years at the frequency
specified in the most recently -certified Attachment A of this permit, the Permittee may submit
a request to the Division for a permit modification to request a reduction of this monitoring
requirement. In no case, however, shall the frequency of monitoring be less than once per
permit cycle. i '

3. An analysis shall be conducted on residuals generated by each residuals source -generating
facility listed in the most recently -certified Attachment A of this permit. The analysis shall be
performed at the frequency specified in the most recently -certified Attachment A of this
permit, and the results shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for a minimum of five
years. If residuals generated by a particular residuals source -generating facility are land
applied at a frequency less than that which is specified in the most recently -certified

After the residuals generated by a particular residuals source -generating facility have been
monitored for two years at the frequency specified in the most recently -certified Attachment A
of this permit, the Permittee may submit a request to the Division for a permit modification to
reduce the frequency of this monitoring requirement. In no case, however, shall the frequency
of this monitoring be less than once per year when a residuals land application event of
residuals generated by the residuals source -generating Facility occurs during that year.
4. Residuals generated by each residuals source -generating facility listed in the most recently -
certified Attachment A of this permit shall be monitored for compliance with Condition I. 7.
The monitoring shall be performed at the frequency specified in the most recently -certified
Attachment A of this permit, and data to verify pathogen reduction of the residuals shall be
maintained on file by the Permittee for a minimum of five years. The required data shall be
specific to the stabilization process utilized, but also shall be sufficient to demonstrate clear
compliance with the Class B pathogen reduction requirements and site restrictions in 40 CFR
Part 503.32(b). In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certification
statements concerning compliance with pathogen reduction requirements and management
practices shall be completed at the frequency specified in the most recently -certified
Attachment A of this permit by the proper authority or authorities, if more than one is
involved (i.e., either the person who prepares the residuals, the person who derives the
material, or the person who applies the residuals). Only residuals that are generated by the
residuals source -generating facilities that are identified as being exempt from Condition I. 7.
in the most recently -certified Attachment A of this permit shall not be required to comply with
this. monitoring requirement.
5. Laboratory analyses as required by Condition III. 2., Condition III. 3., and Condition 111. 4.

the residuals land application event to the following address:
NCDENR-DWQ
Information Processing Unit
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

9. Noncompliance Notification:
The Permittee shall report by telephone to the Aquifer Protection Section of the Division's
Asheville Regional Office at telephone number [phone], as soon as possible, but in no
case more than 24 hours or on the next working day following the occurrence or first
knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following:
a. Any occurrence with the residuals land application program that results in the land
application of significant amounts of residuals that are abnormal in quantity or
characteristic.
b. Any failure of the residuals land application program resulting in a release of material to
receiving waters.
c. Any time that self -monitoring information indicates that the residuals land application
program has gone out of compliance with the conditions and limitations of this permit or
the parameters on which the program system was designed.
d. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that render the residuals land
application program incapable of adequate residuals treatment.
e. Any spillage or discharge from a vehicle or piping system transporting residuals to the
application site.
Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in letter form
within five days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report shall outline the
actions taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem does not recur.
IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
Land Application Site Requirements:
a. Each land application site identified with a GW-A in the most recently -certified
Attachment B of this permit is dominated by soils with a mean seasonal high water table
greater than three feet below the land surface. Residuals land application events may
occur on these sites throughout the year.
b. Each land application site identified with a GW-B in the most recently -certified
Attachment B of this permit is dominated by soils with a mean seasonal high water table
between one and three feet below the land surface. Residual land application events on
these sites shall be prohibited from December through March, inclusive. No residuals
shall be land applied to these sites when the vertical separation between the depth of
residuals land application and the water table is less than three feet. The actual water
table depth for seasonally -restricted soils shall be verified by soil borings within 24 hours
prior to any residuals land application event that occurs from April through November,
inclusive. The number of borings advanced shall be sufficient to characterize water table
conditions across the land application site adequately. Any open borings shall be properly
filled with native soil, prior to the residuals land application event, to decrease the chance
of any residuals contaminating the groundwater.
10

2. Applicable Boundary Requirements:
a. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for residuals land application programs is specified by
regulations in 15A NCAC 2L (i.e., "Groundwater Classifications and Standards"). The
Compliance Boundary for each land application site is established at either 250 feet from
the residuals land application area or 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is
closest to the residuals land application area. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality
Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to immediate remediation
action according to 15A NCAC 2L .0106 (d)(2).
b. The REVIEW BOUNDARY shall be established around each land application site
midway between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the residuals land
application area. Any exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at the Review
Boundary shall require action in accordance with 15A NCAC 2L .0106 (d)(1).
3. Additional Requirements:
a. Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be
provided.
V. INSPECTIONS
1. Prior to each residuals land application event, the Permittee or his designee shall inspect the
residuals storage, transport, and application facilities- to prevent malfunctions and
deterioration, operator errors, and discharges that may cause or lead to the release of wastes to
the environment, a threat to human health, or a nuisance. The Permittee shall maintain an
inspection log or summary including at least the date and time of inspection, observations
made, and any maintenance, repairs, or corrective actions taken by the Permittee. This log of
inspections shall be maintained by the Permittee for a period of five years from the date of the
inspection and shall be made available to the Division or other permitting authority, upon
request.
2. Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the Division may, upon
presentation of credentials, enter and inspect any property, premises, or place on or related to
the land application sites or facilities at any reasonable time for the purpose of determining
compliance with this permit; may inspect of copy any records that must be kept under the
terms and conditions of this permit; and may obtain samples of groundwater, surface water, or
leachate.
VI. GENERAL CONDITIONS

Subject: Permit Issuance
NPDES Permit NC0025135
Huffman Finishing WWTP
Caldwell County
In accordance with your application for discharge permit received on September 27, 1994, we are
forwarding herewith the subject State - NPDES permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the
requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement
between North Carolina and the US Environmental Protection Agency dated December 6, 1983.
Based on the draft permit comment letter received May 30, 1995, the following modifications
and/or comments are offered:
Discharge to Unnamed Tributary to Catawba River -
• Deadline for Relocation - As requested, the date for relocation to the Catawba River is no
longer specified on the effluent sheets.
• Reduction in Monitoring Frequencies - The frequencies for all parameters except chromium
have been reduced to monthly as requested. Since chromium is limited, the monitoring
frequency will be weekly.
• Change in toxicity test - The acute toxicity test that was originally placed in the permit on
December 6, 1993, has been reinstated for discharge to the unnamed tributary to the Catawba
River.
Discharge to Catawba River -
• Reduction in Monitoring Frequencies - The frequency foi• all parameters except chromium
and antimony has been reduced to monthly as requested. Since chromium and antimony are
limited, the monitoring frequencies will be weekly.
• Deletion of Antimony limit - This limit cannot be removed at this time. Evaluation of
existing monitoring data predicted a maximum value that would violate water quality
standards. After monitoring for one year, data can be reevaluated by the Division at the
facility's request.

• Increase in Phenols limit - The Division of Environmental Health (DEH) has expressed
concern about the location of Huffman's future outfall being upstream of the water intakes for
the towns of Hickory and Long View. DEH would have preferred that Huffman relocate the
outfall below these intakes. As a compromise, Huffman agreed to maintain the existing
permitted limits at the Catawba River discharge location to minimize the relocation distance.
For this reason, the phenols limit cannot be increased.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicative hearing upon written request within thirty
(30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition,
conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of
Administrative Hearings, Post Office Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7447. Unless
such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding. -
Please take notice this permit is not transferable. Part 11, EA. addresses the requirements to be
followed in case of change in ownership or control of this discharge.
This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other, permits which may be required by
the Division of Environmental Management or permits required by the Division of Land Resources,
Coastal Area Management Act or any other Federal or Local governmental permit that may be
required.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Mr. Greg Nizich at telephone

Dear Mr. Huffman:
Subject: Notice of Violation
Huffman Finishing Company
Permit No. NCO025135
June 5, 1989 Authorization to Construct
Caldwell County, North Carolina
Permit No. NCO025135 Authorization to Construct issued on June 5, 1989,
requires Huffman Finishing Company to take samples of groundwater, analyze
those samples and report the results of analyses to the Division of
Environmental Management.
Permit No. NCO025135 Authorization to Construct stipulates that the
analytical methods used for TOX must be capable of detecting the total of all
halogenated organic compounds present at a concentration of 5.0 parts per
billion (ppb) or greater. In the event that a TOX concentration of 5.0 ppb or
greater is detected, any individual halogenated organic compound(s) present at
a concentration at or above the method detection limit (MDL) must be identified
and quantified utilizing EPA Methods 601, 602, 604, and 611.
Review of compliance monitoring data reported for the November 17, 1992,
sample date indicates TOX concentrations of 39 ug/l for monitor well K72g2 and
26 ug/l for monitor well K72g3. You are in violation of Permit No. NCO025135
Authorization to Construct in that individual halogenated organic compounds
were not identified.

You are required to sample the monitor wells in March, 1993. This office
is requiring that in addition to the sampling required by Permit No. NC0025135
Authorization to Construct, that monitor wells K72g2 and K72g3 be resampled for
TOX, with analyses being performed to the lowest method detection limit
utilizing EPA Methods 601, 602, 604, and 611.
Please be aware that violations of conditions of a NPDES Permit may
subject the violator to enforcement action, including but not limited to
assessment of civil penalties, in accordance with the provisions of North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.6.

Dear Mr. Huffman:
Ann B. Orr
Regional Manager
Subject: Review of Groundwater Compliance Monitoring Data
Huffman Finishing Company
Permit No. NCO025135
Authorization to Construct
Caldwell County, North Carolina
I have reviewed the compliance monitoring data from
groundwater samples collected on February 21, 1992 at the
subject facility. The data and monitoring well installation
report was submitted by Engineering and Environmental
Services, and received in this office on April 20, 1992.
It is noted that there is an exceedance of the State's
Groundwater Standards (NCAC Title 15 Subchapter 2L) from
samples collected in the monitor well located downgradient of
the wastewater treatment plant (MW-3). The groundwater
standard for chloride is 250 milligrams per liter (mg/1),
whereas MW-3 contained chloride at a concentration of 270
mg/1. Also, the groundwater standard for dissolved solids of
500 mg/1 was nearly approached in MW-3 at a concentration of
485 mg/l.
The subject authorization to construct (copy attached)
requires that if TOX concentrations are detected at 5.0 parts
per billion (ppb) or greater, additional analyses utilizing
EPA Methods 601, 602, 604, and 611 shall be performed. The
compliance monitoring data from MW-3 is insufficient in that
the additional analyses were not reported but are required
since TOX concentrations were 94 ppb.

Mr. Lee T. Huffman

Also, since TOC concentrations in MW-3 exceeded 10 mg/l,
additional analysis should have been performed to identify the
individual constituents comprising the TOC concentration. A
TOC concentration of 26.1 mg/l in MW-3 requires that
additional sam lin a conducted with analyses o rme
according to EPA Methods 502.2• or 524.2 an EPA Method 625 i
These methods include the same parameters as et�ds�b(ii1 602,
604, and 611 so they would fulfill the additional analysis
requirement for TOX as described above.
NCAC Title 15 Subchapter 2L .0106C requires that "any
person conducting or controlling an activity which results in
an increase in the concentration of a substance in excess of
the groundwater standard. -..at or beyond a review boundary
demonstrate, through predictive calculations or modeling, that
natural site conditions, facility design and operational
controls will prevent a violation of standards at the
compliance boundary...". Also, groundwater monitoring at the
compliance boundary may be utilized to demonstrate or assess
compliance.
Since the groundwater standard for chloride has been
exceeded at the review boundary (MW-3), the aforementioned
demonstration will be required if the exceedance of the
State's groundwater is confirmed.
You are required to resample the monitor wells for all
the parameters described in the Authorization to Construct for
Permit No. NC0025135. As discussed during our telephone
conversation on May 5, 1992, Ann Rumbough and Ted Minnick from
our office will be sampling the monitor wells on May 18, 1992.
Please ask Mr. Shuford Wise to contact me regarding splitting
samples on that date.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any comments
or questions, please contact me at [phone].

No (10.0) Ammonia Nitrogen
TD� (500.0) Orthophosphate
COD TOC
Arsenic (0.05) so (250.0)
Water Level Zinc (5.0)
Copper Chloride (250.0)
Sodium
TOX (initially; thereafter November only)
pH (6.5-8.5 standard units)
The measurement of water levels must be made prior to
sampling for the remaining parameters.
The numbers in parentheses represent the maximum
allowable concentrations in groundwater for the
various analytical parameters,' as specified in 15
NCAC 2L [Groundwater Classifications and Standards].
Unless otherwise specified, the units for these
concentrations are expressed as milligrams per liter.
If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/l are
detected in any downgradient monitoring well,
additional sampling and analysis must be conducted
to identify the individual constituents comprising this TOC
concentration. If the TOC concentration as measured in the
background monitor well exceeds -10 mg/l, this concentration
will be taken to represent the naturally occuring TOC
concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occuring
TOC concentration in the downgradient wells shall be subject
to the additional sampling and analysis as described above.
The analytical methods used for TOX must be capable of
detecting the total of all halogenated organic compounds
present at a concentration of 5.0 parts per billion (ppb) or
greater. In the event that a TOX concentration of 5.0 ppb
or greater is detected, any individual halogenated organic
compound(s) present at a concentration at or above the
method detection limit (MDL) must be identified and
quantified utilizing EPA methods 601, 602, 604 and 611.

A supply of forms (GW-59) on which the analytical
results must be reported are attached. Instructions are
provided on the reverse of the white copy of each 3-part
form. The analytical results should be sent to the address
shown at the top of the form and are due in our office no
later than the last working day of the month following
sample collection.

The subject Authorization to Construct involves
conversion of an existing concrete lined aeration lagoon.
into a sludge holdlig lagoon. The project engineer
estimates that the "Lagoon was built in 1981.
We have no objection to issuance of the authorization
to construct with the following conditions:
1. Prior to sludge placement in the lagoon the
concrete liner must be in�,gected for cracks and
sealed with a concrete sealant material compatible
with the waste sludge.
2. Within 90 days of permit issuance, two (2) monitor
wells, one (1) upgradient and one (1)
downgradient, shall be installed to monitor
groundwater quality. The location and construction
details for these wells must be approved by the
Mooresville Regional Office from which a well
construction permit must be obtained.
The.monitor wells shall be sampled initially after
construction and thereafter every March, July, and
November for the following parameters:
NO Ammonia Nitrogen
TD� COD
TOC pH
Arsenic Chloride
Copper Orthophosphate

ff
sO4 TOX (in Nov. only)
Wafer Level zinc
Sodium
The measurement of water level must be made prior
to sampling for the remaining parameters.
If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/l are
detected in any downgradient monitoring well,
additional sampling and analysis must be conducted
to identify the individual constituents comprising
this TOC concentration. If the TOC concentration
as measured in the background monitor well exceeds
10 mg/l, this concentration will be taken to
represent the naturally occurring TOC
concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally
occurring TOC concentration in the downgradient
wells shall be subject to the additional sampling
and analysis as described above.
The analytical methods used for TOX must be
capable of detecting the total of all halogenated
organic compounds present at a concentration of
5.0 parts per bi4llion (ppb) or greater. In the
event that a TOX concentration of 5:0 ppb or
greater is detected, any individual halogenated
organic compound(s) present at a concentration at
or above the method detection limit (MDL) must be
identified and quantified utilizing EPA methods
601, 602, 604 and 611.
The results of the sampling and analysis shall be
sent to the N.C. Division of Environmental
Management on Form GW-59 [Compliance Monitoring
Report Form] every April, August and December.
The Perimeter of Compliance delineated on the
attached site map for the disposal system is
specified by regulations in 15 NCAC 2L,
Classifications and Water Quality Standards
Applicable to the Groundwaters of North Carolina.
An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards
beyond the Perimeter of Compliance is subject to
the penalty provisions applicable under General
Statute 143-215.6(1)a. The sale of property, by
the,Permittee, which is within or contiguous to
the disposal site may alter location of the
Perimeter of Compliance.
For the facilities permitted prior to December 30,
1983, the compliance perimeter is established at a
distance 500 feet from the lagoon, or the property
boundary, whichever is less.

If the title to any property which may affect the
boundary of the Perimeter of Compliance is
changed, the permittee shall notify the DEM
Director within 14 days. The Director shall then
establish a modified Perimeter of Compliance which
will be done as a modification to the Permit..
We note that the April 20, 1989 letter from Larry
Horton, Project Engineer with The Wooten Company to.Jack
Floyd states the current method of sludge disposal is by
licensed septic tank haulers. Has disposal of this sludge,
in this manner, been approved by the Division?
We have requested the project engineer to provide this
Office with a drawing which shows location of property lines
in relation to the lagoon. Once this is received we will
provide a POC map.

Prior to sludge placement in the lagoon the concrete liner must be inspected for cracks and
sealed with a concrete sealant material compatible with the waste sludge.
Within 90 days of permit issuance, two (2) monitor wells, one (1) upgradient and one (1)
downgradient, must be installed to monitor groundwater quality. The location and construction
details for these wells must be approved by the Mooresville Regional Office, from which a well
construction permit must be obtained.
The monitor wells must be sampled initially after construction and thereafter every March,
July, and November for the following parameters:
"NO3
`Ammonia Nitrogen
S
COD
�P
✓Arsenic
Chloride
—Copper
Orthophosphate
�SO4
"TOX (in Nov. only)
Water Level
,-Zinc
Sodium
M The measurement of water level must be made prior to sampling for the remaining
parameters.
The analytical methods used for TOX must be capable of detecting the total of all
halogenated organic compounds present at a concentration of 5.0 parts per billion (ppb) or greater.
In the event that a TOX concentration of 5.0 ppb or greater is detected, any individual halogenated
organic compound(s) present at a concentration at or above the method detection limit (MDL) must
be identified and quantified utilizing EPA methods 601, 602, 604, and 611.
If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/1 are detected in any downgradient monitoring
well, additional sampling and analysis must be conducted to identify the individual constituents
comprising this TOC concentration. If the TOC concentration as measured in the background
monitor well exceeds 10 mg/l, this concentration will be taken to represent the naturally occurring
TOC concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring TOC concentration in the
downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling and analysis as described above.
The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent to the N.C. Division of
Environmental Management on Form GW-59 (Compliance Monitoring Report Form) by the last
day of the month following the months in which sampling is required.
The Perimeter of Compliance delineated on the attached site plan for the disposal system is
specified by regulations in 15 NCAC 2L, Classifications and Water Quality Standards applicable to
the groundwater of North Carolina. An exceedance of Compliance is subject to Statute
143-215.6(1)a. The sale of property, by the Permittee, which is within or contiguous to the
disposal system site may alter location of the Perimeter of Compliance.
For facilities permitted on or after December 30, 1983, the compliance perimeter is
established at a distance 500 feet from the lagoon , or the property boundary, whichever is less.
If the title to any property which may affect the boundary of the Perimeter of Compliance is
changed, the pemmittee shall notify the Division Director within 14 days. The Director shall then
establish a modified Perimeter of Compliance which will be done as a modification to the Pennit.

In event the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily in meeting its NPDES permit effluent
limits, the permittee shall take such immediate corrective action as may be required by this
Division, including the construction of additional wastewater treatment and disposal facilities.
Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of this permitted facility, a
certification must be received from a professional engineer certifying that the permitted facility has
been installed in accordance with the requirements of the NPDES Permit and the approved plans
and specifications. Mail the Certification to the Permits and Engineering Unit, P.O. Box 27687,

Re: Huffman Finishing
Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements
Caldwell County
AC0025135/GW89035
Dear Mr. Cleary:
126 N. Boylan Avenue Raleigh, NC The Wooten Company is hereby responding to your February 9,
27603 1989 comments on behalf of the Huffman Finishing Company.
1. Information concerning wells located within 500 ft.
of the existing and proposed wastewater facilities
is shown on the attached maps. Four (4) wells are
919-828-0531 shown on the attached maps and three (3) of these
wells are located within 500 ft. of the wastewater
treatment facilities. Lee Huffman of Huffman Finishing
Company has advised me that the two (2) wells that are
closest to the wastewater treatment facilities provide
water that is used for non -potable purposes only
and that the two (2) wells that are furthest from
the wastewater treatment facilities provide potable
water.
2. The sludge storage lagoon (existing aerated lagoon)
is a concrete structure that is four (4) feet deep
with an approximate sludge depth of three (3) feet.
3. The operating level of the existing aerated lagoon
(proposed sludge storage lagoon) will remain the
same as discussed above in item 2.
