SPILL RESPONSE PLAN
PROJECT: SYNAGRO CENTRAL Permit WQ0035207
IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT OF A SPILL, THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS SHALL BE TAKEN
IMMEDIATELY:
1. MANAGEMENT OF SPILL CLEAN-UP ACTIVITIES:
The Operations Manager shall take immediate charge and initiate clean-up activities. Synagro labor and equipment is to
be utilized. In the event additional labor and equipment is required, assistance may be requested from the Town of
Franklin, the NC Department of Transportation, and other private contractors as necessary. .
2. HALT THE SOURCE OF THE SPILL:
Such as a ruptured container or damaged transport unit.
3. CONTAIN THE SPILL:
Form a barrier. Sufficient quantities of straw shall be used for such purposes. Earthen barriers may be constructed to
augment the straw bale containment area of the spill. The Operations Manager or the person in charge on the spill site
will advise the clean-up personnel where to get the straw, lime, and other items necessary to complete the clean-up
operation, i.e., local farmers, farm supply centers, nurseries, etc.
4. CLEAN-UP:
Employ front-end loaders, vacuum equipment, sludge application vehicles, and/or local septic tank service to remove as
much of the spilled material as possible. Straw and/or sand should be scattered in the spill area to soak up the remaining
material. The straw- and sand -soaked material will be collected and removed to a disposal area approved by
representatives of the state regulatory agency.
5. FINAL CLEAN-UP:
Employ rotary brush sweeper if needed, and apply lime to the spill area upon the approval of the clean-up efforts by the
state regulatory representative. If the event occurs on private property, the clean-up will be completed to the satisfaction
of the property owner and state regulatory representatives. The ultimate goal will be to restore the spill area to its original
condition if possible.
6. NOTIFICATION:
As soon as possible after the spill occurs, the Synagro Operations Manager or assistant will notify the Synagro Central
office, and they will then be responsible for notifying other key Synagro personnel.
7. REPORTING:
Synagro Central personnel will notify the Asheville regional office of the NCDENR by telephone [phone]) as soon
as possible, but not more than 24 hours after, or on the next working day following the occurrence. The Operations
Manager shall provide a written report within 48 hours of the spill to the Technical Services Director. The report shall list
all relative information and actions taken. Synagro Central personnel will file a written report to the Asheville Regional
office of the NCDENR within 5 days of the occurrence. For after hours reporting the Division's emergency number shall
be called to report all incidences (800-662-7956 or 800-858-0368 or 919-733-3300)

OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE PLAN _
SYNAGRO RESIDUALS LAND APPLICATION FOR 1NQ0035207.(Synagro Central)`
Inspection Plan
Inspections for the land application of residuals will be conducted on a weekly basis at the land application site during the land
application activities of this project. The inspection frequency is based on the time frame that it is going to take to complete the
project and the amount of dry tons to be land applied from this facility. The inspections will consist of inspecting a current field
that is being applied as well as inspecting random fields that have been completed. These inspections will consist of:
1. Verifying that the Pre -Operations Check List has been completed and signed by both Operations and Technical staff.
2. Checking the calculated loads to insure the correct amount of residuals are being land applied.
3. Insure that all manned equipment has a copy of the spill control plan, the permit, and the operations and maintenance
plan.
4. Insure that the field has been flagged properly and that all buffers are being adhered to.
5. Insure that the Crop and Landowner Verification form has been filled out.
6. Verifying that the correct number samples of the residuals have been taken and that it meets the criteria for land
application.
7. The records will be kept in the project files in the respective office for the project. _
S. The Permittee or Inspector shall report by telephone to the Asheville Regional Office by_telephone atg1328 296=4500 as
soon as possible but no later than 24 hours after or the next working day following the occurrence or the first knowledge
of the occurrence of the following.
• Any occurrence with the distribution program resulting in the land application of significant amounts of material
that is abnormal in quantity or characteristics.
• Any failure of the distribution system that results in the release to surface waters.
• Any time that self -monitoring indicates that the facility has gone out of compliance with the permit.
• Any process failure that results in the system not adequately treating the residuals.
• Any spill or discharge from a vehicle or piping system during residuals transportation.
• Any release that requires immediate reporting outside of normal business hours shall be called in to DENR at 1-
800-662-7956,1-800-858-0368, or 1-919-733-3300. These numbers are to be called in the event of a release to
surface waters, imminent failure of a storage system when the event occurs outside of normal business hours.
• Within 5 days of the first notice of on occurrence a written response in the form of a letter shall be sent to DENR
outlining the actions taken or purposed actions taken to ensure that the problem does not recur. Persons
_ responsible for inspections on this project are as follows:
Marshall,Puryear Technical_ Services Director ot�his designee
Marshall Puryear is the designated land application ORC for this project and his designees are the backup ORC's for this project.

OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
SYNAGRO RESIDUALS LAND APPLICATION FOR WQ0035207
Sampling Plan
Sampling for this project consists of sampling the residuals during the time that land application is occurring. This will
result in one round of sampling to occur before land application commences in order to insure that the residuals are
suitable for land application. Based on the dry tonnage of this plant this will be one sample for all parameters per
year.
The residuals shall be sampled annually for the following: (Regulatory level in milligrams per liter in parentheses.)
Arsenic (5.0)
1, 4-Dichlorobenzene (7.5)
Nitrobenzene (2.0)
Barium (100.0)
1, 2-Dichloroethane (0.5)

In order to meet pathogen and vector requirements the material will be sampled for fecals to prove that the residuals have met
the pathogen requirements of the permit. There are no vector requirements for this source since it is water treatment plant,
residuals with no domestic waste water contribution to them nor will they be mixed with any other residuals.:The samples will be
pulled from the lagoons that are currently holding the residuals. The samples that will be pulled are a TCLP, nutrient and metals
sample and a fecal sample to prove that the material is suitable for land application. The nutrient and metal and TCLP sample will
be collected randomly and consist of at least 30 individual samples mixed together in order to`get the composite sample for these
parameters. This material is very consistent based on the fact that it is residuals from the treatment of drinking water so there
should not be any seasonal fluctuations in these residuals.
The following people are responsible for sampling:
,Marshall Puryear Technical Services Director or his designee.

OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE PLAN SYNAGRO RESIDUALS LAND APPLICATION FOR WQ0035207 (S_ynagro Central)
Operational Functions
The operation function of this project is going to involve mixing the lagoon up with a tractor powered Houle pump to
achieve a well mixed and consistent material that is suitable for land application. It is going to be spread at agronomic
rates that are determined by the nutrient and metal sample that is current for that monitoring period. It is going to be
spread with a liquid applicator that will use pressure to spread the material in such a way to achieve a consistent spread
pattern. The material is going to be land applied on fields that have grass growing on them that are going to either be
grazed or cut for hay for animal feed.
SAFETY MEASURES
Synagro believes in operating in a safety conscious manner and is has all employees participate in quarterly online safety
course that are designed to help its employees recognize safety issues and take steps to prevent accidents from
occurring. In addition all Synagro employees have the authority to stop operations if they think any aspect of the
operation is going to cause environmental or personal harm.
Maintenance Schedule
Synagro will follow the maintenance schedule as recommended by the Synagro fleet manager for the equipment
necessary to complete the job.

Item
Reason
Engineer's
Certification/Recommendation
The dam on the ponds is covered with mature trees. I'm not sure it would be
wise to cut them since there are so many and due to the size, but that is what
we usually require unless we get a certification from an engineer indicating that
the trees are not a problem. I will e-mail a photo of the dam. The trees haven't
been a problem so far so I'm not sure if we need to make it an issue at this
point. You can call me to discuss.
