Crop Type should include the most likely crop types for the life of the permit (five years).
Predominant Soils Series Name must be either the name of the soil indicated in Attachment "B" of the existing permit, or
name of the soil series as provided by the licensed soil scientist.
Predominant Soil Mapping Unit or Representative Slope: Either the Soil Mapping Unit or the representative slope of each
site must be provided. The predominant soil -mapping unit must be consistent with the predominant soil series name. Please
note that the soil mapping units are variable between Counties, so care should be taken in properly identifying the correct
mapping unit. If a representative slope is provided, it must be determined accordingly:
❑ For sites previously permitted for use, but do not have an established soil mapping unit (the mapping unit provides
information on both the soil series name and the slope of the soil), the Applicant may determine the representative slope
by using the average slope provided in the County Soil Survey (or equivalent). A soil type with a slope range of 4 - 8%
would have a representative slope of 6%.
❑ New Sites to be permitted must have slopes determined as part of the soils report prepared by a licensed soil scientist.
Acceptable methods for determining location coordinates (i.e., latitude and longitude) and their corresponding codes are as
follows:
• Address Matching (ADD)
• Aerial Photography with Ground Control (AER)
• Cadastral Survey (SUR)
• Conversion from Coordinate Plane (CP)
• Conversion from Township -Section -Range (TSR)
• Conversion from Universal Trans Merc (UTM)
• Map Interpretation by Digital or Manual Extraction (MAP)

• Digital or Raw Photo Extraction (EXT)
• Geodetic Quality GPS Survey (GEO)
• LORAN-C Navigation Device (LOR)
• Navigation Quality GPS (GPS)
• Remote Sensing (RS)
• Zip Code Centroid (ZIP)
❑ Use an 8.5 by 11-inch copy of the portion of a 7.5-minute USGS Topographic Map to identify the location where the
residuals program activities are planned to occur as well as the closest downslope surface waters as clearly as possible. Each
map portion must be labeled with the map name and number, the identified location, and be of clear and reproducible quality.
❑ Surface water body classifications information may be found at: b.gp://Portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/Ss/csu
❑ Any questions concerning the waterbody and its classification, please contact the Division's regional offices.
❑ A list of the Division's regional offices, their county coverage, and their contact information may be downloaded at:
http://Portal.nedenr.org/web/wq/home/ro .
❑ General Instructions: There are 17 river basins in North Carolina. Each basin has associated waterbodies with assigned
subbasins, location descriptions, stream index numbers and established classifications.
1. Identify the project area on a 7.5 minute USGS topographical map (an 8.5 x 11-inch sheet showing the project area
should be submitted with the permit application regardless of whether a Stream classification was completed).
2. Determine the names of all the closest down slope surface waters from the project site. For unnamed tributaries, see
Table 1: Unnamed Tributaries Entering Other States or for Specific Basin Areas. Label any unnamed tributaries as
"UT to stream name" as the waterbody name.
3. Open the link http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/bims/reports/reportsWB.html. If this link does not work, open

Standard Operating Procedure
Name: Town of Mars Hill Biosolids Operations &
Maintenance Plan
WQ0004298
Prepared by: Robert Sams 12/3/15
1.0 Purpose
1.1 Ensure the requirements of Residuals Permit #WQ0004298 for Town of
Mars Hills WWTP are met.
2.0 Personnel
The following is a list of personnel in the order they are to be contacted when
information needs to be shared.
2.1 Town of Mars Hill
2.1.1 Robert Sams, Public Works Director- Land Application ORC
2.1.2 Steve Rector, WWTP ORC
2.1.3 Brian Bailey, Operations Manager
2.2 Earth Environmental Services
2.1.1 Michael Ladd, Lab Director- Backup ORC Land Application
Program
3.0 Operational Functions
The operational function of this project is going to involve digesting aerobic
wastewater treatment plant sludge from the Town of Mars Hill (NC0057151)
for a minimum of 30 days in an aerobic digester at the Mars Hill WWTP

facility. At that time the digested sludge will be dewatered on a % meter belt
press and conveyed to a sludge holding facility at the Mars Hill WWTP. At the
time of Land Application a mixed sample will be taken to determine nutrient
value and metal concentrations as required in the land application permit.
The biosolids will then be transported to the land application site by a solids
applicator where it will be surface applied at agronomic rates to a crop that is
either going to be grazed or cut for animal feed.
4.0 Maintenance Schedules
The Town of Mars Hill will follow the maintenance schedule as recommended
by the Town of Mars Hill Fleet Manager for the equipment necessary to
complete the job.
5.0 Safety Measures
The Town of Mars Hill believes in operating in a safety conscious manner and
all employees participate in safety training that is designed to help employees
recognize safety issues and take steps to prevent accidents from occurring. In
addition, all Town of Mars Hill employees have the authority to stop
operations if they think any aspect of the operation is going to cause
environmental or personal harm.
6.0 Spill Response Plan
(See attached)
7.0 Inspection Plan
Inspections for the land application of residuals will be conducted minimum
of a weekly basis by the ORC or backup ORC on a minimum of a weekly basis
at the land application site during the land application activities of this
project. The inspections will consist of the following:
7.1 Checking the calculated loads to insure the correct amount of residuals
are being land applied.

7.2 Ensure that the equipment has a copy of the permit and the operations
and maintenance plan and the spill response plan.
7.3 Insure thatthe field has been flagged properly and that all buffers are
being adhered to.
7.4 Insure that proper signage is posted or insure that access is controlled
enough that it is not needed.
8.0 Sampling and Monitoring Plan
Sampling for this project consists of sampling the residuals prior to land
application occurring in order to insure that the residuals are suitable for land
application.
8.1 Samples will be collected from the sludge storage facility before land
application at the Town of Mars Hill WWTP.
8.2 Samples will be taken from several different sites within the storage
building and thoroughly mixed before being sent to the lab.
8.3 The samples will be tested by a certified lab for all parameters included
within the Town of Mars Hill's Land Application Permit.
8.4 The residuals shall be sampled once per permit cycle for TCLP as
required for the parameters required in the Town of Mars Hills Land
Application Permit.
9.0 Environmental Impacts
9.1 This procedure helps to insure that land application is conducted in a
safe, efficient manner, while ensuring compliance with laws and
regulations and to minimize exposure, negative environmental impacts
and public health concerns.
9.2 Not following this procedure could result in improper biosolids
handling and potential noncompliance and/or monetary fines.

COMMUNICATION, ASSESSMENT,
and
SPILL RESPONSE PROCEDURE
PREPARED BY: Robert Sams
Town of Mars Hill, NORTH CAROLINA
12/3/15
PURPOSE:
This plan is to be implemented in the event of a Sludge Spill. The plan was
developed to insure the key personnel response to ever spill event within sixty (60)
minutes of a reported event.
INITIAL RESPONSE:
Spills reported to or detected by land application personnel require immediate
attention. The Land Application ORC or his appointed Back-up Operator will make the
preliminary assessment of the spill within 15 minutes after receiving report. That
assessment includes visiting the spill site. The ORC or Back-up will determine the
appropriate response and request assistance from key personnel as necessary. The

attached call back list will be maintained current and be ranked according to essential
response including, i.e. equipment operators. Local contractor may be employed as
deemed necessary.
Key personnel will, upon assessing the site, continue to document the event and
determine the severity, magnitude, and potential environmental impact. Ever effort
should be made to minimize the spill event consistent with the containment and source
control section of this plan. The safety of the response dent should in no way be
compromised.
Key personnel should implement recovery actions to eliminate the cause of
obstruction and/or system failure as outlined in this plan.
POST SPILL RESPONSE, (REPORTING):
After containment is achieved, the Division of Water Quality, (DWQ) must be
contacted as soon as possible but, in no case later than 24 hours after initial detection if;
1) The spill has reached surface waters, "Waters of the State" or
2) The spill exceeds one thousand gallons, (1,000 gals.)
Every small spill must be logged on site including time, date, approximate
volume, name of respondent.
Spills that are fully contained and removed quickly and are less than one thousand
gallons are not required to be reported to DWQ. However, a full spill report form will be
filled out and kept on file.

SOURCE CONTROL AND CONTAINMENT
PROCEDURE
Depending on the nature of the spill or overflow, the initial assessment
should indicate the priority of source control and/or containment.
1) When the source can be isolated through valves, plugs or other
methods, the flow should be discontinued immediately or reduced
to the least possible volume.
2) Containment methods will typically include;
a. Sand or dirt dikes and dams. (Small streams, creeks.)
b. Holes or pits. (To prevent run off to surface waters.)

SPILL OCCURRING ON:
MAJOR INTERCEPTOR RIGHT OF WAY
1. Put up warning tape "DO NOT ENTER "around
SSO site to restrict access.
2. In open areas lime, remove debris and lime site
rotor -till if needed. Re -seed and mulch with
straw.
3. In areas were there is under growth and small
trees, flush area with potable water until no
waste remains. Wait twelve to twenty four hours
then lime the area. Be certain that lime does not
flush to receiving stream.
NOTE: DO NOT LIME IF RAIN IS FORECASTED.
IN CITIZEN'S YARD
1. Till entire area if possible. Apply lime and follow
with seed and straw.
2. If waste/debris not visible apply lime and 2
inches of top soil and mix thoroughly. Apply lime
lightly, seed and mulch.
ON ASPHALT OR CONCRETE
1. Set up containment at or near the storm drainage
system. Do not let the spill enter the storm drain
system.
2. Put up Black or Red "DO NOT ENTER "tape
around the SSO area.
3. Spread lime on spillage and sand or other material
to a depth of one inch. Let this material absorb for
one hour, then sweep up. Dispose of debris

appropriately. If spill is still evident repeat
application.
4. After removing the contaminated material, wash
down area with high pressure water and bleach.
5. Pump clean up materials and wash water into
. sanitary sewer.
IN A CREEK OR STREAM
1. Take conductivity readings of the creek upstream and
downstream to determine were temporary dam should be
placed.
2. The dam should be constructed near a manhole which is
accessible to the jet rodder and vacuum truck.
3. Dam should be placed below the spill as indicated by low
conductivity reading.
4. Construct a dam sized to contain the flow of water plus any
flush water added during clean up.
5. Station to pumps at clean up site, one to use one for back-
up.
6. Have a back hoe at the site for dam repairs as needed.
7. Wash down all rip rap in stream bed until no residue is
evident.
8. Put up warning tap "DANGER DO NOT ENTER".
At spill site and 400 feet down stream.
9. Pull stream samples for fecal coliform. Upstream and
Downstream.
10. Repeat sampling until normal, background counts 500
cts/100 mi.
11. If settled sludge evident sweep bottom until clean.
12. If creek or stream is recreational water notify the affected
community and local officials as soon as the problem is
discovered.

Mars Hill Wastewater Treatment Process
1. Raw wastewater enters plant facility and passes through a spiral screen for plastic
removal.
2. Raw wastewater enters a chamber for grit removal.
3. Raw wastewater enters aeration chamber 1 and is mixed with return aerated sludge.
4. Aerated sludge and raw wastewater enter aeration 2 for further treatment.
5. Aerated sludge enters the final biological treatment in aeration 3.
6. Aerated sludge is piped to clarifier 1 and clarifier 2 for sedimentation and returned to the
start of the process or wasted to aerobic digester 1 or aerobic digester 2.
17. AiLer the digesters are'1 they are aerated ' 30 days to meet neCded pathogen removal
requirements.
8. Aerated digester sludge is then piped to a belt press for removal of excess water.
9. The belt press sludge is then conveyed to our sludge storage building until the time of
land application.

Quantitative Justification for Residuals Production Rate
Solids produced at average flow of 425,000 GPD at 0.8 lbs solids per 1000 gallons of
wastewater (ref. Metcalf and Eddy, Wastewater En ' eering 3rd Edition, pg 773)
425,000 GPD x 0.8 lbs solids / 1000 gal. = 340 lbs solids / day
days / year / 2000 lbs / ton = 62 tons

The amount of fertilizer recommended on the first page is the total amount needed for: the entire growing season. Split Into 3=4
applications to keep the lawn green and prevent fertilizer loss. You should not apply more than 0.7 Ibs of soluble nitrogen per 1000
square feet In.a 30 day period. Or more than 0.9 Ibs of nitrogen per 1000 square feet if you are using a slow or controlled release
product In a 30 day period -Custom blend is best to meet exactly the requirement, if this is impossible, the above specific fertilizer
application is a general guideline, if the specified grades can not be found, replace with fertilizer having similar N:P:K ratio. The best
time to apply fertilizer for coolseason grass (bluegrass, fescue, ryegrass) is in the Fall when the grass is growing. For Mid -Atlantic
region the time is from late August to November. For Northeast region the time is from mid August to October.: Fall application should
start as soon as the day time high temperature is below 80-85F, apply with ttie interval of one month. If you start application late in the
Fall and do not finish all three applications, repeat the same applications In the Fall of next year. Spring application is recommended
when exceptional fertilizer loss due to heavy spring rain leaching and the grasses look pale green. Spring application can start as soon
as the grass starts to grow in April- In the case of exceptional warm spring, the application can be made earner.
To reduce soil pH apply 2.5 pounds of elemental sulfur per 1000 square feet for every;; 0.1 of pH unit above 7.2. For example, a soil
pH of 7.4 requires 5 pounds of elemental sulfur (0.2.2:5). Do not apply more than 5 Ibs per 1000 square feet per application or more
than 10 Ibs of elemental sulfur per 1000 square feet per year. Timing between applications should be minimum of 3months. Warm
temperature and moist soil are needed for sulfur to reduce soil pH. If sulfur Is applied in winter or under drought conditions, it will take
longer for the the soil pH to be lowered.
Use ammonium sulfate as all or portion of the N requirement to reduce PK j
