≥ 15,000 ≥ 16,500 Once per month (12 x Year)
6. Class A water treatment plant residuals are exempt from meeting the pathogen & vector attraction reduction requirements in Condition IV.4, provided they are not mixed with residuals that have
been generated during the treatment of domestic wastewater, the treatment of animal processing wastewater, or the biological treatment of industrial wastewater. The Class A water treatment
plant residuals must be treated and processed in a manner as to not meet the definition of “Biological Residuals” as defined in 15A NCAC 02T .1102(6).
7. Residuals are generated during the biological treatment of industrial wastewater with an estimated 1% domestic waste stream contribution, and meet the definition of “Biological Residuals” as
defined in 15A NCAC 02T .1102(6). However, it was demonstrated that the residuals are pathogen free and are not required to monitor for Vector Attraction Reduction in accordance with 15A
NCAC 02T .1107(c) provided that no significant odor complaints or problems with vector attraction are encountered at the land application site and Fecal Coliform Concentrations remain less
than 1,000 MPN per dry gram of residuals
If no land application events occur during a required sampling period (e.g., no land application occur during an entire year when annual monitoring is required), then no sampling data is
required during the period of inactivity. The annual report shall include an explanation for missing sampling data. Those required to submit the annual report to United States Environmental
Protection Agency (US EPA) may be required to make up the missed sampling. Contact the US EPA for additional information

Lear Corporation WWTP
Quantitative Justification for Residuals Production Rate
Lear Corporation has a backlog of solids that have accumulated in their
2,000,000 gallon EQ basin. The purpose of this modification is to increase the
dry ton limits so that EMA Resources can land apply those solids. This will
be a one-time modification and we will submit a modification to lower the
limit after the solids have been handled. We are requesting 1600 dry tons as
that will handle sampling up to 4 samples per year.
