The main outlet for generating and managing the Class A lime stabilized residual is the Harnett County landfills. During operations of the landfills (the active Anderson Creek C&D disposal unit,'active Dunn -Erwin C&D unit and closed MSW units at both Anderson Creek and Dunn-Erwin);soil stabilization is needed by planting seasonal grasses. The Class A, lime stablized residuals provide the necessary ph adjustment and nutrient source to help facilitate cover crop creation. If the South Central plant needs to waste a large quantity of sludge, Synagro' will haul and land apply under the WQ0007066 permit or if land application is not feasible (fields not available due to cropping window, rainfall, etc.), then Synagro will transfer Class B residuals to the North Harnett WWTP and discharge into the large sludge storage lagoon (approx. 5.50 acres, with a storage capacity of approxJ 9 to 10 million gallons).

(3) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly) The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 15%. The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia • Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of January, April, July, and October. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted fmal effluent discharge below all treatment processes. . If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase 11 Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention:NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Section 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the .permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Section at the address cited above. Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be required during the following month. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. If the Pemuttee monitors any pollutant more frequently then required by this permit, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the calculation and reporting of the data submitted on the DMR and all AT Forms submitted. NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase 1I Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or 'subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of January, April, July, and October. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. If the test procedure performed as the first test'of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the, Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention:NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Section 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be complete; accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the -aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Section at the address cited, above. Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be required during the following month. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North, Carolina Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently then required by this permit, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the calculationand reporting of the data submitted on the DMR and all AT Forms submitted. NOTE:. Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

Composite Sample A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge, during the sample period. The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or (3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or - - Version 11/09/2011 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 2 of 18 (4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a constant time interval.

Specific residuals land application area boundaries shall be clearly marked on each land application site prior to and during a residuals land application event. 9. Residuals and other sources of PAN shall be land applied to all. land application sites at or below agronomic rates. Appropriate agronomic rates shall be calculated using expected nitrogen requirements based on the Realistic Yield Expectations (RYE) for each approved land application site. Realistic Yield Expectations:for crop types and specific fields or soils types shall be determined by using any of the following methods: • • a. North Carolina Historical Data for specific crop and soil types as!provided by North Carolina State University Department of Soil' Science. The" • Department webpage is located at: http://www.soil.ncsu.edu/nmp/ncnmwg/yields/ b. Site Specific Historical Data for crop types on specific fields or soil types by calculating the mean of the best three yields of the last five consecutive crop harvests for each field. c. If the RYE cannot be determined using methods 9(a)• or (b) above, :RYE can be established from specially developed soil interpretation records for Nutrient Management Planning, Farm Service Agency Records, university trials, or inference from crop performance on soil with very similar physical and chemical features. d. Realistic Yields Expectations and acceptable nitrogen application rates that use the above methodology are required parts of many agricultural planning documents. The Permittee may use the RYE and appropriate agronomic rates reported in any of the following documents: i. Crop management plan as outlined by the local Cooperative Extension Office, the North Carolina Depaitnient of Agriculture and Consumer ; Services, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, or other agronomist. WQ0014885 Version 3.0 Shell Version 070804 Page 3 of 12 ii. Waste Utilization Plan as outlined by Senate Bill 1217 Interagency Group- Guidance Document: Chapter 1. Guidance for the completion of the plan can be found at: http://www.enr.state.nc.us/DSWC/pages/guidance docs.html. iii. Certified Nutrient Management Plan as outlined by Natural Resources Conservation Services (NRCS). These plans must meet the USDA-NRCS 590 Nutrient Management Standards, which are available at: ftp://ftp-fc. sc. egov.usda. gov/NHQ/practice-standards/standards/5 90.pdf. e. For any crop type for which the RYE and appropriate nitrogen application rate cannot be determined, the Permittee shall contact the Division to determine necessary action. 10. If the land application sites are to be overseeded (e.g., bermuda grass in the summer and 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. Prior to application of PAN to permitted sites at rates exceeding the agronomic rate, the Permittee must submit and receive approval by the Division. 11. 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 ten (10) or higher), the Permittee shall obtain and implement recommendations from 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 regarding sodium application rate, 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 maintain written records of each monitoring event that includes details of the sites covered and rate of soil amendment application. 12. 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. Per 15A NCAC 2T .0105(h), upon the request by the Permittee the Compliance Boundary may be located closer to the waste disposal area (provided the groundwater standards can be met at the newly established Compliance Boundary). An exceedance of Groundwater Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to remediation action according to 15A NCAC 2L .0106(d)(2) as well as enforcement actions in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A through 143- 215.6C. 13. 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). WQ0014885 Version 3.0 Shell Version 070804 Page 4 of 12 14.

The TCLP and nutrient and metal sample will be collected randomly, and consist f at least 20 individual samples mixed together in order to get the composite sample for these parameters. In order to meet!pathogen requirements, the material will be sampled for fecal coliform to prove that the residuals have met the pathogen requirements of the permit. There is no vector attraction reduction for this source since it is processed to meet Class A waste water treatment plant, residual requirements. The samples will be pulled from the storage shed that is currently holdingithe residuals. This material is very consistent based on the fact that it has been treated to meet Class A requirements. The following people are responsible for sampling:. Kenneth Fail ( Facility Operator) or his designee. OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE PLAN RESIDUALS LAND APPLICATION FOR WQ0014885 (Harnett County Utilities) Operational Functions The operation function of this project is going to involve storing the South Harnett!Regional WWTP material under an onsite-covered shed until the material can be given away to area farmers. This material could also be loaded on to tractor trailers and hauled to land application sites. The material will then be dumped in the field and loaded into a cake spreader with a front end loader. The spreader will able to spread the material in an even and consistent manner. It will be spread at agronomic rates that are determined by the nutrient and metal sample that is current for that monitoring period. The material is going to be land applied on fields that have grass growing on them and are to be grazed or cut for hay for animal feed. Some fields may be in row crop production and rates will be determined by RYE for the crop that is going to be grown for animal consumption.
