Dear Mr. Dean:

Subject: Correction to Permit No. WQ0006101
City of Dunn
Land Application of Wastewater Residuals
Harnett County
Please find enclosed corrected pages 5 through 6 of Permit No. WQ0006101 for the subject facility.
The following corrections have been made to the permit:
1. The monitoring frequency under Section III. 4 and III.5 has been !changed .to annual instead of
quarterly monitoring specified originally. This is being donebecause 'the residual volume from the
waste water treatment plan is still under 319, dry tons. The additional residuals were added from water
treatment plan which do not have domestic contribution.
Please replace the original pages 5 through 6 with the corrected pages 5 through 6 (enclosed) into
Permit No. WQ0006101 issued December 7, 1999.
If you need any additional information concerning this matter, please ;ontact J R Joshi at (919) 733-

III. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
1. Any monitoring (including groundwater,• surface water, residuals, soil, or plant tissue analyses) deemed
necessary by the Division to insure protection`of the environment will be established and•an acceptable
sampling and reporting schedule shall be followed.
2. Proper records shall be maintained by the Permittee: tracking all application activities. These records
shall include, but are not necessarily limited to the follov%ing information:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
f.
g•
h.
source of residuals
date of residual application
location of residual application (site, field, or zone #)
method of application
weather conditions (sunny, cloudy, raining, etc.)
soil conditions
type of crop or crops to be grown on field
volume of residuals applied in gallons/acre, dry tons/acre or kilograms/hectare
annual and cumulative totals of dry tons/acre of residuals, annual and cumulative pounds/acre of
each heavy metal (which shall include, but not be limited to arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead,
mercury, molybdenum, nickel, selenium and zinc), annual pounds/acre of plant available nitrogen
(PAN), and annual pounds/acre of phosphorus applied to each field.
3: A representative annual soils analysis (Standard Soil Fertility Analysis) shall be conducted on each site
receiving residuals in the respective calendar year and the results maintained on file by the Permittee
for a minimum of five years.
The Standard Soil Fertility Analysis shall include, but is not necessarily limited to, the following
parameters:
Acidity
Calcium
Copper
Magnesium
Cation Exchange Capacity
Manganese
Percent Humic Matter
pH
Phosphorus
Potassium
Sodium
Zinc
Base Saturation (by calculation)
4. A residuals analysis will be conducted annually from the date of permit issuance by the Permittee and
the results maintained on file by the Permittee for a minimum of five years. If land application occurs
at a -frequency less than annually, a residuals analysis will be required for each instance of land
application. The residuals analysis shall include but is not necessarily limited to the following
parameters:
Arsenic Cadmium Copper
Lead Mercury Molybdenum
Nickel Selenium Zinc
Aluminum
% Total Solids
Potassium
Ammonia -Nitrogen
pH
TKN
Plant Available Nitrogen (by calculation)
Nitrate -Nitrite Nitrogen
Phosphorus ' ,
The annual sampling and analysis will be done separately for each residual product (WWTP and WTP
residual) and field loadings will be calculated for each residual separately.
5. All residuals included in this permit must be monitored annually, from the date of permit issuance, for
compliance with condition I 11 of this permit. Data to verify stabilization and vector attraction
5

reduction of the residuals must be maintained by the Permittee.' The required data is specific to the
stabilization process utilized, but should be sufficient to clearly' demonstrate compliance the Class A
pathogen requirements in 40 CFR Part 503.32(a) or with the Class :B pathogen requirements and site
restrictions in 40 CFR Part 503.32(b), and one of vector attraction reduction requirements in 40 CFR
Part 503.33. In addition, the EPA certification statements concerning compliance with pathogen
requirements, vector attraction reduction requirements and management practices mast be completed
annually by the proper authority or authorities ifmore than one is involved, either the person who
prepares the residuals, the person who derives the material, or the' person who applies the residuals.
The annual sampling and analysis will be done separately for each residual product (WWTP and WTP
residual) and field loadings will be calculated for each residual separately.
6. Three copies of all required monitoring and reporting requirements as specified in conditions III 1, III
2, III 3, III 4, III 5 and III 6 shall be submitted annually on or before March 1 of the following year to
the following address:
