City of Dunn
.city of Dunn' Residuals Land. Application Program
Land Application of Residual'Sohds (503)'::
Harnett County
Dear Mr. Uskiewicz:
On n 8 December 2006, the Division of Water Quality (Division) received a letter request from Mr.
Brandon Shaffer, Technical Services Manager with Synagro, on the City of Dunn's behalf regarding the
above -referenced permit. Specifically, in this request, Mr: Shaffer requested the, Division's consideration
to approve acreage, not presently permitted, to receive residuals by Permit .No. WQ0006101, issued on 7
April 2003 for imrnediate use on an emergency basis only.
This., third request for emergency approval; has come about as the result of several occurrences
related to the=Permittee's residuals land application program This program currently has 1484.38 acres,
(i.e., 779.38 acres in Harnett County, 157.20 acres in Cumberland County and 547.80 acres in Sampson
County) owned by multiple 'landowners approved for residuals land application under the existing permit.
The size and flexibility of the program -appears in theory to be adequate ;for the Permittee. However, two
of the three landowners have recently expressed a desire to be significantly compensated by the Permittee
for continued use of the acreage that they own. The Permittee cannot honor the landowners' request at
this time. The land application site owned by :the third landowner is located in a floodplain area, and site
conditions are currently unsuitable for a residuals land application event. IAlso, acreage that once was
utilized for;coastal Bermuda production hassince been planted with longleaf pine seedlings. As of this
date, the Permittee has not submitted a 'permitmodification application package for the approval of
• additional land application sites for farm acreage in the Sampson County area.. A permit modification is
being prepared, by Synagro, for submittal' in early 2007 to add significant farm acreage in Sampson
County owned by Mr. Andy Pope. Based upon the events surrounding the City of Dunn land application
program; when the permit modificationforAttachment B certification is submitted, all fields that are not
anticipated to beutilized in the future shall be identified and removed from the program.
' This third request proposes that the land application of alum sludge be allowed to commence on
Friday 8 December on farmland owned by Mr. Andy Pope and described in the submittal documents as
Fields NC-SA-23-01,.NC-SA-23-02 and NC-SA-23-03 located in Sampson County. This emergency
approval for the three fields proposed shall be used for the land application of the Permittee's alum sludge
and wastewater treatment plant residuals until a permit modification application package is prepared. by
the Permittee as well as submitted to and reviewed by the Division. This information regarding this land
application site is summarized in the following table:

Mr. Jim Barber of the Water Quality -Section of the Divisions Fayetteville Regional Office,
made a site visit on 8 December 2006 to the proposed emergency land application site to meet Mr.
Shaffer and received information necessary to grant the emergency approval. It was determined that the
information provided by Eric Thompson; Synagro soil scientist (1) adequately depicted the site
conditions, relative to the Soil Survey of Sampson County reference maps' (2) the proposed fields are
suitable for alum sludge residuals andwastewater treatment plant residuals for land application activities
year-round, based upon the evaluation of the soil scientist in determining the dominant soils, present being.',
of the Norfolk series and the seasonal high groundwater table being greater than 36" and (3) thereview of
the CAFO database indicates that animal residuals have not been applied to agricultural fields, controlled
by. Mr. Andy Pope.
Under these very special circumstances, the Division will allow the commencement of emergency"
residuals land application activities on the above listed land application fields. The activities shall be
.limited to the application of up to 200 dry tons of alum sludge residuals; from the City of Dunn's Water
Treatment Plant (i.e., PWS ID No. 03-43-010) and 100 dry tons of wastewater treatment plant residuals
from the City of Dunn's Wastewater Treatment Plant:(i.e., NPDES Permit No. NC0043176). All activities
shall occur within 90 calendar days of the date of this correspondence and all residuals land. applied shall
be documented in the City of Dunn's 2006 annual report. '
Note that all other conditions and limitations of Permit No. WQ0006101, issued on 7 April 2003,
shall be -valid and binding to -these emergency residuals land application activities: Even though not a
condition of the existing permit the Division requests that the Permittee notify the Water Quality Section
of the Division's Fayetteville Regional Office as well as the appropriate 1pcal official and the county
manager's office in Sampson Countypriorto the initiation of the activities. Be aware that this approval is
for the application of the specified amounts of materials identified on page .two and the application fields

shall not -receive additional residuals once this, approval expires unless a formal permit modification is
sought from and a modified Attaclment. B is:approved by the Division. ' ''
The Division is disappointed that: no action has been initiated by the Permittee to resolve the
apparent problems with respect to the subject'residuals land` application program As such, please
note that the. Division'will not issue another emergency approval until the. Permittee submits an .•
applications packageto seek. the Division's approval of additional; acreage for the City,of Dunn land
application program. Therefore, `Permittee is encouraged`, to :submit such permit::modification
application package or begin the implementation -of an alternative residuals management plan as
soon as.possible:

Thanks alot!
It went very well with the -alum.. I was'in Dunn on-Mondaylhe1ping out operations
when they finished up: The farmer was pleased,'and everything looked good at.the
field. They are planning on goingback• over field #3 with residuals, then moving
to field #,2 to finish up the event. I'm pretty sure'field #1 won't be used on. this
.event, since field #2 is a decent size. Just let'me know,1thanks again!

Jim,
Thanks again for your help with this; I assure. you it will be smooth from here
on out.
I'm aware of Ed's family situation and completely realize that it's more
important than this business, but .I was 'wondering'about the approval for the
residuals. Rudy and his ciew were running Holly Springs today with the
intentions of moving back down -to Dunn to get the WWTP�cleaned. The WWTP is in
need, but not as bad as'the WTP. The pressing thing now is the farmer wants to
plant his wheat early'next week and we'need to be off his; land. Considering the
situation this program is in; I want to keep this farmer happy. --Let. me know
what you,'can do or if I can ,help. Thanks! '

minutes ago and the WTP is pushing it. They may not be able to hold out past

situation was that bad. I
As far as Friday, if you could spare a couple of hours to look at a field or
two, I can work around whatever schedule you have. The; land is just south of
Spivey's Corner off 421.
Ed: If you can, fill me in on the process of emergency; approval. We'll have to
do something by the middle of next week.

My schedule is.open on Monday the llth. I will be in
8th, but have a tentative meeting in Spring Lake for
know until Thursday afternoon or early Friday morning.;
As far as a emergency permit for 50 ac., I'll look to Ed Hardee for guidance on
the procedure for such a activity. My first thought is !that if.Eric Thompson can
concentrate his efforts on 50 ac-or less land area and 'you can get me info
concerning the location of the property for watershed classification, then I can
do a initial Attachment B amendment to get Dunn over the.;hump concerning the
need to land apply residuals now. Hopefully the soils on:the farm are straight
forward and I don't need to involve Vince Lewis at this time for a small area
based upon the intention of, permitting larger tracks that, the farmer has.
Give me a call on Friday and we can discuss logistics with respect the watershed
Fayetteville on Friday the
sometime that day. I won't

'OW -FAYE1iEV1LL.E REGIONAL OFFICE
Synagro is requesting an extension to the City of Dunn's land application permit, current
expiration date of 11/30/06. Upon assumption of duties for the program, we found the condition
of the landbase to be less than satisfactory. We therefore require additional time in order to
permit an adequate amount of acres to properly manage and maintain this program in a
compliant manner. We are requesting that the state grant an extension to the permit and allow
submittal of the renewal/modification on or before 6/1/07. At, this time We will have identified a
sufficient number of acres to facilitate effective operations of the program. The current landbase
consists of a majority of row crop fields and therefore we do not foresee any problems with
future events through the end of next spring/early summer.
If you have any questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me
at 336-998-7150 x14 or [e-mail]. Thank you for your attention to my request.
