V . PATHOGEN AND VECTOR ATTRACTION REDUCTION INFORMATION (attach additional pages for
additional sources of residuals):
1. In accordance with 40 CFR Part 503, a residual can not be land applied if it does not meet one of the following alternatives
for Class B pathogen reduction. -
a_ Please specify a, bl, b2, b3, M, b5 or c from below (submit all lab analysis, test results and calculations):
Attachment #5
a. - at least seven residuals samples should be collected at the time of use and. analyzed for Fecal coliforms during each
monitoring period. The geometric mean of the densities of these samples will be calculated and should be less than
2,000,000 most probable number per gram of total dry solids, or less than 2,000,000 Colony Forming Units per gram
of total dry solids.
b. the residuals must be treated by one of the following "Process to Significantly Reduce Pathogens" (PSRP).
1. Aerobic. Digestion - residuals are agitated with air or oxygen to maintain aerobic conditions for a mean , cell
residence time and temperature between 40 days at 200 C and 60 days at 150 C.
2. Air in - residuals are dried on sand beds or on paved or basins for a minimum of three months. During two of
the three months, the ambient average daily temperature is above Oo C.
3. Anaerobic Digestion - residuals are treated in the absence of air for a mean cell residence time and temperature
between 15 days at 350 C to 550 C ,and 60 days at 200 C.
4. Composting - using either the within -vessel, static aerated pile, or windrow composting methods, the temperature'
of the residuals are raised to 400 C or higher for five days. For four hours during the five days, the temperature in
the compost pile exceeds 550 C.
5. Lime Stabilization - sufficient lime is added to the residuals to raise the pH of the residuals to 12 after two hours
of contact.
c. The residuals shall be treated by a process that is equivalent to a "Process to Significantly Reduce Pathogens" (PSRP),
as determined by the permitting authority, based on an evaluation of the recommendations provided by the Pathogen
Equivalency Committee.
2. In addition, when residuals are being land applied, at least one of the following vector attraction reduction requirements (a,
b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, or j) described below must be met.
d Specify the letter(s) of the vector attraction reduction requirement that have been met (submit lab results, test,
results and calculations). Any variation of the below must be described in full detail and.attached.
Attachment #6
a. Aerobic or Anaerobic Digestion - The mass of volatile solids are reduced by at least 38%. Volatile solids reduction is
measured between the residuals, prior to stabilization, and the residuals ready for use or disposal. This criterion should
be readily met by properly designed and operated anaerobic digestors, but not as readily met by aerobic digestors.
Treatment facilities with aerobic digestors may need to meet the vector attraction reduction requirement through 18c or
18d.
b. Anaerobic Digestion - If 38% volatile solids reduction cannot be achieved, vector attraction reduction can be
demonstrated by further digesting a portion of the previously digested residuals in a benchscale unit for an additional
40 days at 300 C to 370 C. If, at the end of the 40 days, the volatile solids are reduced by less than 17%, vector
attraction reduction is achieved.
c. Aerobic Digestion - If 38% volatile solids reduction cannot be achieved, vector attraction reduction can be demonstrated
by further digesting a portion of the previously digested residuals that have a solids content of 2% or less in a bench
scale unit for an additional 30 days at 200 C. If, at the end of the 30 days, the volatile solids are reduced by less than
15%, vector attraction reduction is achieved.
d Aerobic Digestion - The specific oxygen uptake rate (SOUR) shall be equal to or less than 1.5 milligrams of oxygen
per hour per gram of total dry solids at 200 C.
e. Aerobic Processes - The temperature of the residuals for at least 14 days shall be greater than 400 C. During this time,,
the average temperature shall be greater than 450 C.
f. Alkaline Stabilization - The pH of the residuals is raised to 12 or higher by alkali addition and, without the addition of
more alkali, remains at 12 or higher for 2 hours and then at 11.5 or higher for an additional 22 hours.
FORM: LARS 06/94 Page 4 of 18

g. plying (stabilized solids) - The total solids of residuals that do not contain unstabilized solids, and which are generated
in a primary wastewater treatment process, shall be equal to or greater than 75%. Blending with other materials is not
allowed to achieve the total solids percentage.
h. Drying (unstabilized solids) - The total solids of residuals that contains unstabilized solids, and which are generated in a
primary wastewater treatment process, shall be equal to or greater than 90%. Blending with other materials is not
allowed to achieve the total solids percentage.
i. Injection - Liquid residuals are injected below the land surface, with no significant amount of residuals present on the
land surface after 1 hour, unless the residuals are Class A for pathogen reduction. In this case, the residuals shall be
injected within 8 hours after being discharged from the pathogen treatment process.
;,. j. Ind - Residuals that are surface land applied shall be incorporated into the soil within 6.hours of application,
unless the residuals are Class A for pathogen reduction. In this case, the residuals shall be incorporated within 8 hours
after discharge from the pathogen treatment process.
VI. RESIDUALS TRANSPORT AND APPLICATION:
1. How will the residuals be delivered to the application sites (leakproof trucks, etc.)? Pump truck or dump truck
2. What type of equipment will be utilized for land application? Pump truck or dump truck and tractor.
3. How will the application of the residual be controlled to ensure that there is proper distribution over the site?

79.68 x 8.2
= 653.4 Pounds/Year
Due to the fact that organic nitrogen is mineralized slowly over time, the amount of nitrogen that comes available in years
following the initial application must be taken into consideration when calculating application rates for the subsequent
years. This being the case, please attach an evaluation of this factor and its impact on loading rates. Show the adjusted pan
for at least five years.
The maximum adjusted annual PAN is F 51.4 Pounds/Year.

If calculation sheets are being completed for more than one residual or site, 'please attach a
summary sheet that bring the results of all the calculation sheets to one point.
E. Determine the Site Life for this land application site:
The lifetime pollutant loadings shall not be exceeded. The site life is determined by calculating the number of years that the site
can receive the residual without exceeding the lifetime pollutant loadings. The site life calculations will be based on the most
restrictive crop plant available nitrogen (PAN) requirement specified and the maximum dry tons of residuals to be land applied
annually. Therefore, in the table below the Tons of Residuals to be Applied/Acre/Year will be calculated as:
1. -Most restrictive crop based on the plant available nitrogen (PAN) requirement: Fescue
Associated plant available nitrogen (PAN) requirement: 250 (lbs./acre/year)
2. Minimum acres needed based on most restrictive PAN (as found in C.5 above): 2.6- acres
3. Dry Tons of Residuals to be land applied per year 8 : 2 dry tons per year
4. Tons of Residuals to be Applied/Acre/Year = Dry Tons/Year of Residuals to be land applied
Minimum number of acres required for land application
Tons of Residuals to be Applied/Acre/Year = 3'.15
If any of the application sites are to be loaded at greater than the rate specified above, please specify the loading rate and explain:
Tons of Residuals to be Applied/Acre/Year. (different from above) = Not Applicable
Explanation:

In the table below, the highest annual loading (Tons of Residuals to be Applied/Acre/Year) specified above, will be multiplied
by the 1bsJdry ton of each pollutant as found in B above. The Site Life can then be determined by:

VI. 3 - Method for Ensuring Proper Residual Distribution

TOWN OF MARS HILL 7046892022 P.02
Application Flatas '
There are two categories of land application sites, dedicated sites and agronomic sites. The
distinction between these two categories 'is based on application rates utilized.
Dedicated Site: - Is. a land application site where application rates exceed the specified
Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) crop limits as specified In North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management non -discharge permits. Dedicated sites are applied to on a
frequent basis and are not managed Permitting requirements could
Include groundwater, air quality, metals, pathogen and vector monitoring, since these
are classified assurface disposal under the Federal regulations.
Agronomic Site: Is a land application site where application rates do not exceed the
specified Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) c rW limits based on pounds of PAN per year.
Crops are planted and removed from these sites on an agricultural schedule. Typically,
permitting requirements do not Include groundwater monitoring on agronomic sites.
Residuals application rates are typically determined by either nitrogen or the metals. Each of
these constituents In a waste stream has a maximum recommended annual loading rate. The most
restrictive of the loading rate determinations. that requiring the greatest land area for
assimilation, will be the loading rate used to size a land treatment operation. The quantity of "r
- waste In dry tons per acre or gallons per acre per year which can be applied to any receiver site
Is limited by the annual assimilation rate.
Generally, for nutrients, nitrogen Is the nutrient which most llmits land application operations.
Excessive bads of nutrients may result in crop damage or contamination of groundwater.
NltMgj3 iipplicntton - The quantity of residuals (dry tons/acre/year) to be applied is limited
by the nitrogen content of the residuals and the nitrogen required to grow the desired crop. Too
,:::••much nitrogen may result in damage to crops and groundwater contamination. Not enough
nitrogen may result In reduced crop yield. alienation of farmer and potential loss of the land
application site due to poor crop yield.
' Nitrogen, reported as Total K)eidahl Nitrogen on a laboratory report, is present In two forms.
These forms are ammonia. nitrogen (NH3-N) and organic nitrogen. Organic nitrogen is not
readily available for plant use as it Is combined within the organic material. As the organic
material decomposes, the nitrogen becomes available for plant use. Thls Ig desirable as a slow
release iertlitzer which will make the nutrients available throughout the crops growing cycle..
V 1-4

Ammonia 'Nitrogen (NH3.N is readily available for plant use. However, since thin form of
�
nitrogen Is extremely volatile, not all of It. will be used by the plants.
The quantity of residuals to apply must be determined, by. the following steps.
THE FiRST , TEP_ Is to determine the percent organic nitrogen present In the residuals. Thit: is
done using the Information contained on the laboratory report.
Rxampla: The laboratory report indicates that the residuals contains 4.6% KJeldaht nitrogen
and 1.6% ammonia nitrogen.
Solution
Organic N - 4.6-1.6/100
39/.
THE SECOND STEP_ In determining the quantity of residuals to apply is to determine the
"nitrogen needs' of the crop to be grown. The following list shows examples of maximum crop
utilization rates.

Some nitrogen will carry-over from year to year. The carry-over nitrogen must be factored
Into the nitrogen loading data to Insure that groundwater.. quality Is property protected.
Typically the carry-over •will be approximately 20 percent In year 1, 10 percent In year 2,
and 5 percent in subsequent years.
THE THIRDyb5TTEPIs to determine "carry-over nitrogen" from last year's application of
residuals, using the .following formula: -•
FORMULA:
Carry-over Nitrogen (lbs/acre) - % Organic Nitrogen x tons solids
applied per acre
Last year 6.5 tons of residuals solids per acre were applied. The organic nitrogen
content was 3.4%.
Carry-over N - 3.4 X 6.5 - 22.1 pounds of nitrogen per acre.
If no residuals was previously applied this step Is not necessary. -
THE FOURTH STEP is to determine "net allowable nlbWen" application in pounds per acre. If
the farmer Is going to apply starter fertilizer this must be subtracted from the maximum
allowable nitrogen requirement. Use the following formula to determine net allowable nitrogen:
FOFNULA:
Net allowable nitrogen (lbs/acre) - crop nitrogen need (lbstacre) - carry-
over N or N from other sources
_. (lbs/acre)
Exa[DDlj1: A farmer wants to grow com on fine textured roll and achieve 150 bushel per acre
yield. Carry-over N Is 22.1 Ibstacre.
Net allowable nitrogen (lbs/acre)
200 Ibslacre - 22.1 lbs/acre - 1 T7.9 or 178 bs nitrogen/acre

THE FIFTH STEP is to determine the 'pounds of nitrogen available per ton of residuals gollds".
The two forms of nitrogen. (organic and ammonia) have different characteristics. The method of
application and method of residuals stabili2ation determine the amount of nitrogen available for
plant use. Only mg of the following four formulas must be used to determine the pounds of
available nitrogen per dry ton of residuals. (NH3-N Is the chemical symbol for Ammonia
Nitrogen.) ,

The next step in the process Is to determine the amount of nitrogen available per ton of
residuals. Nitrogen availability will vary depending upon mineralization rates. Generally,
nitrogen mineralization rates will vary from 20 percent to So percent of the organic nitrogen.
A worksheet for calculating the nitrogen mineralization Is Included in Appendix X.. In order to
accomplish this workshaet. you must determine the concentration of total nitrogen as TKN,
ammonia nitrogen as NHg, and nitrate nitrogen as NO3. -The calculation sheet provided does
follow a single field for three years and factors in the nitrogen carry-over for each year. Sites
on which residual were applied only.one out of three years need not factor in this nitrogen
carry-over from residuals previously applied.

THE SIXTH STEP Is to determine the number of tons of residuals solids needed per *we of land
using the following formula:
FORMULA:
Pounds of nitro en naedgdfa .r . tons of residuals
Pounds of nitrogen avallable/ton of residuals needed per acre
Example: Using the figures presented above. ?08 pounds of. nitrogen per acre will be needed to
grow 150 bushels of corn on fine textured soil. The residuals, as ' calculated. will provide 36
pounds of nitrogen per ton of residuals.
�.S�1i11k2tt
178 llx - 4.9 tons/acre (dry weight or residuals solids)
36 Ibs/ton
IHE SEVENTH STEP Is to determine how many gallons of residuals will be needed to apply the
necessary nitrogen. This Is necessary because residuals are not dry.
FORMULA
jQ13s aotldsta .re x 24000 gallons/acre

The quantity of liquid residuals that can be applied to soil is limited, as was discussed, by
j the soil texture. As discussed on the previous page, let's assume that the soils on the site
limit the application to 15,000 gallons of residuals per acre per day. Based on this
Ilmltatlon, all of the residuals cannot be applied in one application. Since 95,517
gallons/acre Is approximately six times the daily application limit of 15.000
gallonslacre, vehicle speed could be increased and multiple passes made over the fteld on
different days.
The spread of disease can be compared to a chain. Each link in the chain must be present
for disease to occur. The links are:

If the links come together to form a chain, disease occurs. The medical profession refers
to these events as 'the chain of transmission

SITE INVESTIGATION
MADISON COUNTY
The Town of Mars Hill in Madison. County, North Carolina, owns and operates a
wastewater treatment facility .with discharge to Gabriel Creek. The, wastewater treatment
facility has a design capacity of 425,000. gallons per day. The residual generated in the
wastewater treatment process must be handled in an environmentally sound yet economically
attractive manner. A total of approximately 90 dry tons of sludge is generated for the
Town's wastewater treatment facility annually. One method by which small quantities of
sludge can be handled in an environmentally sound and economically attractive manner is by
land application at agronomic rates on farm land. The sludge from the Town of Mars Hill has
been analyzed and determined to be non -toxic and non -hazardous and suitable for application
to agricultural land.
i There are two purposes to the brief report which follows. The first is to describe
conditions encountered on the proposed waste receiver site. The second is to make
recommendations regarding appropriate loadings. It is important to note that the waste
�j receiver site must remain committed to a single waste generator. Waste from one facility
i-� must not be commingled with waste from another facility. It is necessary to segregate waste
to insure proper operation throughout the ;life of these facilities.
jj SITE-WALTER LOVIN FARM TOPOGRAPHY
The first site evaluated was located several miles from the City of Mars Hill on NC
213 *and is owned by Walter Lovin. The farming operation is conducted by Roy Ammons who
leases the site from the Ammons'. The site consisted of large pasture with a mix of clover,
fescue, and orchard grass. The single pasture contained approximately 80 acres of clear
land. Topography on the site varies markedly. The topography ranges from as much as 18% to
as little as- 10%. There is a definite break in topography on the site. The break in
topography is associated with significant changes in soil properties.

I
Some topography or relief is 'essential to provide a gradient along which
constitutes applied to the site will move... -The very steep topography noted toward the
center of the site may be excessive and waste application should' be limited. The more
gentle topography noted at the front and rear of the site is considered as ideal for
operation of a land treatment facility. The toe slope on the site may be utilized for
tobacco production and application of sludge on tobacco land is not permitted. The high
concentrations of fluoride in the sludge may adversely effect the tobacco crop.
JThe topography encountered on the Lovin Farm site is limiting. Portions of the
site should be flagged and waste application should be prohibited from these areas where the
slope exceeds 18%. The toe of the site does contain a major drainageway. This major
'J drainageway does convey water and application of sludge within 100 feet of this drainageway
should be carefully controlled to prevent runoff . into this surface stream. Application of
yj sludge within 50 feet of this drainage feature should be prohibited. Topography on the
Lovin Farm does not appear to be serious limitation and topography should not preclude use
j� of this site as a receiver site for sludge. Areas on the Lovin Farm which are limiting must
be flagged and application` of sludge on those areas should be prohibited. The few
limitations encountered on this site because of topography can be overcome through careful
- design and operation of the land treatment/nutrient recycling program.
SITE 2 - LARRY CODY EARAI TOPOGRAPHY
The second site evaluated was typical of the Mountain Region of the state. This
r--
site is located on S.R. 1560 and is owned and farmed by Larry Cody. Slope ranged from a
` minimum of 1 to 2 percent along the drainageways existing the site to as much as 20% along
the steeper side slope positions. Sludges can safely be applied on sites with slope as much
as 15 to 18 percent. Sludge cannot be safely applied on sites where the slope is in excess
of 18%. Areas of the Cod Farm e in excess of
y with slope 18% should be eliminated from
-, inclusion in this potential land application/nutrient recycling program. Areas of the Cody
Farm which exceed 18% must be flagged carefully and operators of the land application system
must be instructed not to place waste in those areas. Some topography or relief is
essential to provide a gradient along which constitutes applied to any waste receiver site

� is capable of conveying constituents off site. .The topography encountered along the steeper
sloping side slope portions is excessive and' waste constituents will move either quickly
] 'into the soil and off site or waste will move directly off site through runoff. The more
�- gentle sloping areas encountered have good potential for use as a receiver site for waste.
i Those areas are located along no slope and side slope positions throughout the area.
Careful layout and flagging is necessary to insure only. those areas with slope less than 18%
are utilized for application of sludge. The topography encountered on. Cody Farm is more of
a limitation then that on Lovin Farm. Operations on this site will require very careful
control to insure only those areas acceptable for sludge are utilized.
SITE 1- WALTER LOVIN FARM SOILS
Hand auger borings were advanced at several locations on the Lovin Farm to evaluate
soil properties. Mr. Dennis J. Osborne, Certified Professional Soil Scientist, was involved
i� in evaluating soil resources on the site. His expertise in soil and site evaluation is
valuable and his report contains valuable information regarding the soil resources
ijencountered on the site.
j j In general, soil resources encountered on the site consists of a clay loam topsoil
approximately 6 to 8 inches in depth overlying a clayey subsoil. Two very distinct soil
surfaces were encountered. These geomorphic surface were characterized by residual soils on
the upper elevation and biseaqual soils in the toe slope or lower elevations. It appears
that at some time over ' the geologic history of the site there was some sufficient movement
of soil material from upslope to downslope location. The soil profile descriptions
indicates that soil is deep and well drained and ideally suited for land application of
j waste and nutrient recycling. The clayey subsoil encountered will provide numerous site on
which nutrients and metals contained in the waste will absorb and be available for plant
uptake. The bright soil colors indicate that there is little potential for development of
long-term saturated conditions on the site and a perch or seasonal water table was not noted
in any of the borings advanced on this site. Soil core samples were collected for fertility .
analysis. The results of the soil core sampling indicate that soil H is moderate and
P g p
cation exchange capacity is low to moderate. For purposes of determining acceptable metal
loading, a cation exchange capacity of 5 meq or less is used. This insures that metal

constituents will not be over applied to the. site. The clayey material in the soil appears
to be predominately and the shrink/well potential for the soil is very low.
�- In general, the soil resources encountered on the Lovin Farm appears to be very
well suited for land application of sludge.. The predominate soil ' limitation is the mild
erosion potential and the slow permeability.. These limitations can be overcome through
maintenance of low loadings . of sludge if it is applied as a liquid and through application
of sludge only when soil conditions are trafficable. The mild erosion potential can be
addressed through a maintenance of a permanent receiver crop on the site. A permanent
receiver crop is typically a requirement of the State Department of Natural Resources and
Community Development. Soils should pose no limitation to the use of Site 1 as a receiver
site for sludge. With careful design and operation of this land treatment facility, the
soil encountered on this site should not preclude the use of this site as a receiver for
sludge from the Town of Mars Hill Wastewater Treatment Plant. The soil analysis does
indicate that cation exchange capacity is low and pH is low. The low cation exchange
capacity will result in the lowest allowable assumitive metal loadings. The low soil pH can
easily be adjusted upwards by the addition of lime. The recommendations for nutrients and
lime additions will be discussed in the section which follows on Waste Characterization and
Recommendations.
SITE LARRY CODY FARM SOILS
The second Madison County site evaluated was typical of the Mountain Region of the
state. Soils were characteristically deep, reasonably well -drained clay soils. The hand,
auger borings advanced on the site indicate soil depth ranges from a minimum of 36 inches to
a maximum of 42 inches. Saprolitic material was encountered at between 36 and 42 inches in
those borings advanced on the site. The soil material extracted from the auger was
evaluated with increasing depth for selected properties. Mr. Dennis J. Osborne, Certified
Professional Soil Scientist, did the accompanying soil profile description. His report is
attached. In general, the soil conditions encountered on Site 2 indicate a thin sandy clay
loam topsoil horizon overlying a reasonably thick clay subsoil. The soil clay loam topsoil
horizon overlying a reasonably thick clay subsoil. The soil properties are ideal for
operation of a land based water treatment system. The thin topsoil will allow application

,^ �-
� of waste while the heavier texture clay. subsoil will retain those constituents contained in
the waste and make them available for plant growth. Soil core samples were collected to
determine soil fertility levels.. The' results of that soil core sampling program are
presented in the section which follows on Waste Characterizations and Recommendations.
In' general, the soil resources encountered on the Cody Farm are ideal for
application of waste to land, , Agronomic rates. should be utilized. to determine nutrient
loadings. Agronomic rates are based on the crop grown on the site. The crop grown on the
site was a fescue pasture. Nutrient requirements 'for this pasture will be somewhat less
j` than for other pastures because of the animal grazing operations taking place on site. The
primary soil limitations noted on the site are the mild erodibility of the topsoil when
unprotected and the slow premeability of the subsoil. The mild erodibility limitation can
--� be overcome through a management plan which allows application of waste only when site
— conditions permit. The limitation created by the slowly permeable subsoil relate to the
runoff potential on the site. This limitation too can be overcome through development of an
agricultural management plan which allows "excess to the site and permits sludge application
only when site conditions permit. Sludge must not be applied to either the Lovin Farm or
the Cody Farm when heavy rain is expected, when the soil is frozen, or immediately following
rainfall events when the soil is saturated.
The soil limitations noted can be easily overcome through careful design and
operation of this land treatment facility. The soil conditions encountered on the Cody
Farm, although not as well suited as the Lovin Farm are acceptable for land treatment of
waste sludge and soil conditions should not preclude the use of this site as a receiver site
for waste sludge from the Town of Mars Hill.
WASTE CHARACTERIZATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
— The sludge from the Town of Mars Hill is typical of domestic sludge. An analysis
was accomplished and the sludge was found to be non -toxic and non -hazardous and suitable for
�� application onto agricultural land. A copy of the sludge analysis is attached.

The professional staff at McGill & Associates, Asheville,
North Carolina requested that I send to you the boring logs from
the recently completed site inspections at Linville Resorts and
Mars Hill. Dr. Dennis J. Osborne and I did evaluate the soil
resources in the Madison County/Mars Hill area, but I have been
unable to contact him to get his description of soil resources. My
boring log is. attached. The recently completed evaluation at
Linville Resorts does indicate that soil resources are very well
suited for the land application system proposed and that boring
log, too, is attached.
Both sites do contain soils that appear to be excellent as
receiver soils for the land application systems proposed. I hope
that the information contained herein will be helpful to you in
your evaluation. I apologize to you for any delay in permitting
that has resulted from my oversight. -

AGRONOMIC USE PLAN
for
THE APPLICATION OF MUNICIPAL SLUDGE TO AGRICULTURAL LAND
by
THE TOWN OF MARS HILL N.C.
The use of municipal sludge to supply some or all the nutrient requirements
for the production of Ky 31 Tall Fescue on the farm of Mr. Larry Cody, Crooked
Street, Mars Hill N.C. has in the past proven to be mutually beneficial to Mr. Cody
and the town.
Fescue is an excellent receiver for this residual because of it's capability to
utilize relatively high amounts of Nitrogen annually. Application rates will be
calculated to supply up to but not more than 250 pounds actual N per acre per year
based on nutrient analysis of the residual. The two sites noted as field #1, and field
#2 on Exhibit 1 are capable of receiving considerably more residue than the current
production, therefore the material will be applied in a multi -year rotational design so
as to spread the residue uniformly over the total acreage at the annual use rate (250
Ibs/yr.divided by the total N analysis of the residual). This rotation will also
compliment harvest of the fescue for hay or grazing so that no harvest by either
method is performed within thirty days of application. The farmer, Mr. Cody will
account for the total N. applied as residue when calculating additional fertilizer
applications so as to limit total N. to 250 pounds/acre.
Soil samples of the two plots will be analyzed annually for toxic metals
including Cadmium, Copper, Chromium, Lead, Nickel, and Zinc. Cumulative
application limitations of the residual sludge will be determined by the build up of
heavy metal(s).
All samples will be retrieved and maintained by the Mars Hill Treatment Plant
Operator. Harvest of crops will be the responsibility of the landowner in cooperation
with the treatment plant operator in order to honor the 30 day withdrawal of grazing
animals, or hay harvest.
I believe this plan adequately describes the use of the recipient lands and
crops for the sludge from the Mars Hill Treatment Plant. Certainly if additional
explanations or more detailed calculations are necessary I will be happy to provide
them.

Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in
letter form within 15 days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report
must outline the actions taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem
does not recur.
IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
1. Prior to beginning waste disposal operations, three (3) monitor wells, one (1)
upgradient and two (2) downgradient, shall be installed to monitor groundwater
quality (see attached map). The well(s) shall be constructed such that the water
level in the well is never above or below the screened (open) portion of the well at
any time during the year. If the water table occurs within the bedrock unit, then the
monitor wells must be constructed into this unit. The location and construction
details for these wells must be approved by the Asheville Regional Office, from
which a well construction permit must be obtained.
2. The monitor wells must be sampled initially after construction (and prior to waste
disposal operations) and thereafter every February, June, and October for the
following parameters:
DO (10.0) TDS (500.0)
pH ( 6.5-8.5 standard units)
Ammonia Nitrogen Chlorides (250.0)
Water Level Total Coliforms (1/100 nil)
Total Suspended Solids
Volatile Organic Compounds - In October only (by Method 1 or Method 2
below)
Method 1: Method 6230D ( Capillary - Column), "Standard Methods for
the Examination of Water and Wastewater", 17th edition, 1989
Method 2: Method 502.2 " Methods for the Determination of Organic
Compounds in Drinking Water", United States Environmental
Protection Agency - 600/4-88/039
The measurement of water level must be made prior to sampling for the remaining
parameters.
The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be
surveyed relative to mean sea level (M.S.L.). The depth of the water in each well
shall be measured from the surveyed point on the top of the casing. Tile water level
elevations shall then be determined relative to (M.S.L.).
The numbers in parentheses represent the maximum allowable concentrations in
groundwater for the various analytical parameters, as specified in 15 NCAC 21
[Groundwater Classifications and Standards]. Unless otherwise noted, the
concentrations are given in parts per million.
6

If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/1 are detected in- any downgradient
monitoring well, additional sampling and analysis must be condupted to identify
the individual constituents comprising this TOC concentration. If the TOC
concentration as measured in the _back round monitor well exceeds 10 .mg/l, this
concentration will be taken to represent the naturally occurring TOC concentration.
Any exceedances of this'naturally occurring TOC concentration in the downgradient
wells shall be subject to the additional sampling and analysis as described above.
If any volatile organic compounds are detected by method 6230D, or the equivalent
method 502.2, then EPA methods 604 and 611 must also be run to detect other
organic compounds which may be present: The results of all analysis specified in
the monitoring requirements, including 604 and 611 if required, must be submitted
simultaneously
The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent to the N.C. Division of
-- Environmental Management on Form GW-59 (Compliance Monitoring Report
Form) every March, July, and November.
3. The Compliance Boundary delineated on the attached map for the disposal
system is specified by regulations in 15 NCAC 2L, Classifications and Water
Quality Standards applicable to the groundwater of North Carolina. An exceedance
of Groundwater Quality Standards beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to
penalty provisions applicable under General Statute 143-215.6(1)a. The sale of
property, by the Permittee, which is within or contiguous to the disposal system site
may alter location of the Compliance Boundary.
For facilities permitted on or after December 30, 1983, the Compliance Boundary is
