Dear Mr. Canipe:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection form from the
inspection that I conducted on October 19, 2009. The facility was found to be in Compliance
with permit WQ0002349.
On August 5, 2009, Session Law 2009-406, entitled "An Act to Extend Certain
Government Approvals Affecting the Development of Real Property Within the State," was
enacted by the General Assembly and signed into law. The Act, known as the Permit Extension
Act of 2009, extends the expiration date of certain government approvals and permits.
Non -discharge permit, WQ0002349, issued by the Division of Water Quality falls within
the scope of this Act and is therefore being extended until 9/3012013. Please note per your
permit, a renewal application must still be submitted six months in advance of the extended
expiration date.

2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a
detailed justification for such request:
A request for remission or mitigation is, limited to consideration of the reasonableness
of the amount of the penalty and is not the proper procedure for contesting the
accuracy of any of the statements contained in the assessment letter. Because a
remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request
must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a
stipulation that there are no factual or legal issues in dispute. You must execute and
return to this office the attached waiver form and the attached "Justification for
Remission Request" which should describe why you believe:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-282.1(b)
were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e)' payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.

within five 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.
F. The Asheville Regional Office received no notification of noncompliance from the Town
of Spruce Pine.
G. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $46.29.

Dear Mr. Canipe:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection form from the
inspection conducted on September 12, 2006. Beverly Price of .the Asheville Regional Office
conducted the Compliance Evaluation 'inspection. The facility was -found to be in Compliance.
with permit WQ0002349.
You indicated during the inspection that you no longer have land application services
provided by Southern Soil Builders. As such, you have been reviewing a number of options
regarding disposal of residuals. The Town may land apply dewatered residuals whether by
belt -press or drying beds as long as it meets Class B requirements and is applied to permitted
fields, with one exception. The residuals should not be applied to the reclamation site at K-T
Feldspar, as there is no crop available for nutrient uptake. If the Town decides to act as land
applicator, a certified Land Application Operator must be designated. If residuals are taken to
a certified landfill, this should be indicated in the Annual Report. Basically, the Town can act
as the land applicator as long as all regulations and permit conditions are met. With regard to
hauling liquid residuals to another wastewater treatment plant, we understand that this is a
temporary disposal solution and you must meet any requirements of the receiving facility.
An in-depth review of the 2005 Annual Report was conducted as part of the inspection.
The following items are missing or appear incorrect. The Standard Soil Fertility Analysis does
not contain the Exchangeable Sodium Percentage (ESP) calculation. Option 3 was chosen as
the method to prove Vector Attraction Reduction. Option 3 states: aerobically digested

sewage sludge with 2% or less solids is considered to have achieved satisfactory vector
attraction reduction if it loses less than 15% additional volatile solids when it is aerobically
batch -digested in the laboratoryin a bench -scale unit at 20 degrees C for an additional 30
days. The data submitted does not show the percentage reduction in volatile solids. The PAN
calculation for Field U-01 appears to be incorrect. Within 30 days, please submit the following

1) Exchangeable Sodium Percentage calculation.
2) The percent additional volatile solids reduction for the 30-day bench -scale aerobic digestion.

Permit: WQ0002349 Owner - Facility: Town of spruce Pine
Inspection Date: 09/12/2006 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Land application was not occurring at the time of inspection.
Southern Soil Builders(SSB) has been responsible for the land application program for the Town of Spruce Pine for the
past several years. On June 5, 2006 SSB notified Spruce Pine that they would no longer be able to provide land
application services. Currently Spruce Pine is without a land application contractor but is in the process of reviewing
options to handle their sludge.
Long-term Plans: According to Town Manager Richard Canipe, they now have approval to purchase a belt -press. They
plan to take the dewatered sludge to a landfill in Tennessee. They also plan to keep the land application permit active
and secure another contractor.
Short-term Plans: In the interim they are looking to haul liquid sludge to another WWTP. They have contacted two other
facilities in the region for short-term disposal. They have drying beds on site that will allow storage until they can be
cleaned and hauled to the landfill.
Currently, three drying beds are full and scheduled for cleaning. A fourth bed is available for storage until the dried sludge
can be hauled to the Iris Glen Landfill in Tennessee or land applied on permitted sites. ,
The inspection included a review of the 2005 Annual Report.

EXCHANGEABLE SODIUM PERCENTAGE
Exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) is a ratio of sodium to other cations in the soil. It
is important, because sodium can cause clay dispersion, loss of soil structure and
infiltration capacity, and in extreme cases salt injury to crops. ESP is a calculation from
soil test data. It is the ratio of sodium to the cation exchange capacity (CEC), then put
into a percentage basis. Both units are expressed in the soil test as milli -equivalents per
100 grams of soil(meq/100g). To calculate ESP use this formula:
ESP = (Sodium milliequivalents _ Cation Exchange Capacity) X 100%
Example: What is the ESP for a site where the soil test data shows the CEC to be 8.7
meq/100g and the sodium is 0.4 meq/100g?
Solution: (0.4 meq/100g _ 8.7 meq/100g) X 100% = 4.6
An ESP of 15% or higher typically signifies excessive sodium. Operators should strive to
keep sites as low as possible.
o AGRICULTURAL LIME EQUIVALENCY
Agricultural lime equivalency (ALE) is a value assigned to any product to be land applied
that has the capacity to neutralize soil acidity (or raise the soil pH). When applying
sludge or materials that have an ALE, or liming value, it is important to know what affect
the application of these materials will have on the soil acidity and soil pH. Raising soil
pH too high can be just as injurious to crops and the site as a low soil pH. An ALE value
should be determined on all waste materials that have potential to have pH affects on the
soil.
Determining sludge application rates based on ALE requires a corresponding soil test.
Then, it is simply a straight conversion. The ALE number on a waste report tells how
many tons of the material is equal to one ton of agricultural grade lime (which is the
standard material referenced by the soil test). For example, if the ALE if a sludge is 4.30,
then 4.30 tons of sludge equals one ton of ag-grade lime. If a soil test calls for one ton per
acre of lime, then application of 4.30 tons of the sludge will have the same liming effect.
Example: How much sludge should be applied per acre if the ALE is 6.5 and the soil test
calls for 0.8 tons/acre of lime?
Solution: Since it takes 6.5 tons of sludge to equal one time of ag-lime, and 0.8 tons/acre
of ag-lime are needed, then the sludge application rate is:
6.5 tons sludge/ ton ag-lime X 0.8 tons ag-lime/ acre = 5.2 tons sludge/acre

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
- The operators appear to be well trained. The plant appears to be generally clean and properly maintained.
- The Town has addressed most items from the previous inspection, those remaining are;
- - The Town must actively enforce it's Grease Trap Ordinance, with regular inspections (of especially
resturants), education and enforcement (if needed). Grease continues to impact the WWTP negitively. By
copy of this inspection I have notified Mr. Roy Davis (the primary collection system inspector) of my
concerns with grease in your system. I have requested that he review your ordinance and it's effectiveness.
- New concerns the Town needs to address:
- - The Influent and Effluent samplers are both malfunctioning. Both are in need of repair and/or
replacement. I suspect that they will both need replacement due to age and condition. I also recommend the
purchase of a backup sampler for situations where samplers go out for repair.
- - There are continuing concerns about the the disposal of sludge from the WWTP. The disposal sites
appear to be inadequate in size and/or number. The sludge storage capacity of the WWTP is marginal at
best. The drying beds are too small and too few to handle the plant. The Town should investigate its current
strategy regarding disposal and begin to formulate a solution to this problem. By copy of this inspection
report I have notified Ms. Bev Price (primary non -discharge inspector) of my concerns and have requested
that she review your disposal sites and options.
- Sampling results will be forwarded when they become available.

request for the 2004 annual report for The Town of Spruce Pine, NC; permit number.73

WQ0002349.
The letter needed information on the Annual Pathogen and Vector Attraction T z
Form. The first issue was with the fecal coliform, the letter stated that test was reported 17,
MPN/KG,instead of MPN/g; this lowers the geometric mean of the sludge. The new
geometric mean is 148.88 MPN/g. The fact that it was reported in KG instead of grams
was overlooked during the preparation of the annual report. The other issue was the
analytical method used to determine the fecal coliform density, the method used was
SM9221 E.
The second issue is in relation to the method of Vector Attraction Reduction. The
temperature that the samples were tested at was 20°C, as specified in 503.33(b) (3). The
calculation that is used to get the 15% is the same calculation that is used to figure all
other volatile solids test in the State. The amount of volatile solids reduction after the 30
day bench scale was 12.605%, this is below the required 15% reduction to meet option
three in the 503.33(b)(3).

Dear Mr. Canipe:
The Asheville Regional Office has completed a review of the submitted 2004 Annual Report of land
application activities. The Annual Pathogen and Vector Attraction Reduction Form does not indicate the
Analytical Method used to determine fecal coliform density. Please provide the analytical method number used
to determine fecal coliform density. Alternative 1 was indicated as the method used to determine Pathogen
Reduction for the Class B residuals. Alternative 1 requires that the geometric mean for fecal coliform density
be less than 2 million CFU or MPN per gram of biosolids (dry weight basis). The fecal coliform data in the
2004 report was reported as MPN/KG. Please provide the correct units with regard to fecal coliform and
recalculate the geometric mean if necessary. Option 3 was chosen as the method to prove Vector Attraction
Reduction. Please provide the temperature data for the the 30 day benchtop .digestion procedure as well as
the calculation showing < 15% reduction in volatile solids.
You must respond within 30 days to the additional information request. All information should be
submitted in triplicate to the attention of Ed Hardee at:

Agronomist Comments
The heavy metal report is found on a separate page. Using Melllich 3 as a soil test extractant, background levels of
these metals typically seen in soils at waste application sites in NC are as follows: arsenic (As)- 5.5 ppm, cadmium
(Cd)- 0.1 ppm, chromium (Cr)- 0.2 ppm, lead (Pb)- 2.8 ppm, nickel (Ni)- 0.6 ppm, & selenium (Se)- 0.1 ppm.
Although the above metals here are not believed to pose a concern for plant growth, continue to monitor these and
note where elevated above background levels. .
Soil pH is below the desired target. Note the lime and fertilizer recommendations.

Dear Mrs. Thornburg:
On August 31, 2004, Branch Residuals & Soils, LLC submitted the Permit Renewal for the above
referenced permit application. Duri�� the pastmoAns additional information has come to light that
changes the information presented on August 31, 2004. Understanding that this additional
information will aid the review of this application I have made changes to select pages and have
forwarded this material to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ).
Specifically, there are two changes that have significant imprint on the renewal application.
1. Additional land has been renewed from Tommy Phillips and the Unimen Corporation
increased the numbers of acres to 45.0.
2. Due to the increase in land the dry ton volume has been increased to a level consistent
with the facility size.
Three copies of the following pages have been included. The pages included should replace the
pages originally provided; with the exception of the NDRLAP Page 5 which has the permitee's
signature.

Agronomist Comments
The heavy metal report is found on a separate page. Using Mehlich 3 as a soil. test extractant, background levels of
these metals typically seen in soils at waste application sites in NC are as follows: arsenic (As)- 5.5 ppm, cadmium
(Cd)- 0.1 ppm, chromium (Cr)- 0.2 ppm, lead (Pb)- 2.8 ppm, nickel (Ni)- 0.6 ppm, & selenium (Se)- 0.1 ppm.
Although the above metals here are not believed to pose a concern for plant growth, continue to monitor these and
note where elevated above background levels.
Soil pH is below the desired target. Note the lime and fertilizer recommendations.

Inspection Summary:
The inspection consisted of a tour of the application site and records review, including the 2003 Annual Report, with Dennis Key
(Land Application ORC) of Southern Soil Builders and Darrell Graham (WWTP ORC).
The 2003 Annual Report (soil analysis) indicated that Field SP-1 is approaching a critical toxic level (CTL)for Zinc(Zn) & Copper(Cu).
The levels for Zn & Cu should be monitored to prevent accumulation to the point where they become toxic to the crop. Application
rates to this field may need to be reduced.
The Annual Report (analytical lab sheet) showed all fecal results with greater than values. If all fecal results show greater than
values, a second sample should be analyzed to verify compliance.
Data was well maintained.
The application site appeared to be in compliance with permit conditions.

The T. Phillips site is located away from streams, wells and no houses are within the
400 ft. of the app site. The M. Byrd site is upland existing pasture with cows and has
some steep side slopes be there is enough flat area to apply. There are no wells or
streams within the buffer area. There is one off property house close to the pasture on
the northeast side of the field. The area will need to be marked to stay 400 feet from
this dwelling. The M. Robinson is mostly upland. The site closest'to the barn has a
well in the middle of it. The well is being used by Mr. Robinson. Also, there is a house
trailer with well on the left side of the private road going toward the barn. There is also
a stream behind the trailer: The pasture has horses in it presently.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Town of Spruce Pine has made application for modification of State Permit No.
WQ0002349 for land application of sludge to three different site totaling 38 acres of land.
The T. Phillips site is an upland field which had Christmas trees on it and not subject to
flooding. This appears to be a good site for sludge
The proposed site owned by M. Byrd is existing pasture with cows. The site is upland and no
streams or wells are located within the buffer area. One house to the north east may be
within the 400 ft buffer area. The 400 ft area should be flagged. There are some steep
slopes on this area but enough flat area exist to be able to apply sludge. The site appears to
be adequate for sludge application.
The site at the M. Robinson property is pasture with horses on it at present. There are two
house on the property with two separate wells. One well is on top of the hill above Mr.,
Robinson's house in the middle of the application area. The other well is for a house trailer
and there is a small stream behind the trailer. The pasture area near the trailer may not be
suitable for sludge application due to the closeness of the well and stream. Most of the area
is upland and would be ideal for sludge application except for the well in the middle. A 100
ft. buffer -around the well can be maintained. The groundwater section has some concerns
about this application site being so close to the well.
Because of the nature of this sludge there will be short term odor problems in the immediate
reas of application. Once the buffer issues are addressed it is recommended that the permit
be issued.

GROUNDWATER SECTION
ASHEVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE
The Groundwater Section has reviewed the subject initial permit application to add 38 new acres,
for a total of 69 acres and increase the dry tonnage amount from 134 dry tons per year to 290 tons per
year. Since the permit application has been submitted, Morris Robinson, the property owner of Field R-1
(14 acre field), has decided to omit the field from the permit modification due to a potable water supply
well located in the middle of the field. Since the site will be omitted, the total revised acreage is
recalculated to be 55 acres instead of 69 acres. PAN calculations based on the waste analyses submitted
with the previous permit application reveal that a minimum of 45 acres is needed, based on an adjusted 5
year PAN rate of 9,012 pounds per year, an uptake rate PAN of 2001bs. per acre, and 290 dry tons of
residuals applied each year from the Town of Spruce Pine WWTP. Our PAN calculations confirm the
applicant's PAN calculations, and the applicant meets the minimum acreage criteria for agronomic rate
status.
The Groundwater Section recommends issuance of the permit with the following conditions:

Note: Basis of approval for the indicated field is Condition GW-A and GW-B as follows:
GW-A. These sites are dominated by soils with mean seasonal high water tables greater than
three (3) feet below the land surface. Application of residuals may occur throughout the year.
*GW-B. The three -acre portion of field H-1 (flood plain area), adjacent to the North Toe is
prone to occasional flooding and consists of soils having mean seasonal high water tables at less
than three feet below land surface. The application of residuals on these sites shall be prohibited
from December through March inclusive. No residuals shall be applied to any site when the
vertical separation between the depth of application and the water table, is less than three (3) feet.
The actual water table depth for seasonally restricted soils must be verified by soil borings, within
24 hours, prior to any application event (applications are limited to April through November
inclusive). The number of borings advanced shall be sufficient to adequately characterize water
table conditions across the entire proposed application site. Any open borings must be properly
filled with native soil, prior to application to decrease the chance of any residuals contaminating
the ground water.
1) Applicable Boundaries:
a) The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified by regulations in 15A
NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. The Compliance Boundary for the
disposal system individually permitted after December 31, 1983 is established at either 250 feet
from the waste disposal area, or 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is closest to the
waste disposal area. An n exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the
Compliance Boundary is subject to immediate remediation action according to 15A NCAC 2L
.0106(d)(2).
b) The REVIEW BOUNDARY is established around the disposal systems midway between the
Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the waste disposal area. Any exceedance of standards
at the Review Boundary shall require action in accordance with 15A NCAC 2L .0106(d)(1).

(Landowner Contact Information

Iv INTRODUCTION
The 'Town of Spruce Pine hereby applies for a minor modification to its non -
discharge permit for land application of biosolids. The Town proposes to add 38
acres at 3 sites to its current permitted acreage of 31 acres for a total of 69 acres.
This additional acreage will result in timely applications and economic savings in
providing biosolids to landowners in Mitchell County. These landowners have
eagerly agreed to have biosolids applied to their land at agronomic rates to be used
as a fertilizer supplement.
Also the 'Town requests that the dry tonnage amount for land application be
changed to 290 tons; this will allow the Town to fully expand its land application
program as improvements occur within the wastewater treatment plant.
A. GENERAL
This section contains general project information including the State of North
Carolina Form LARS 02/95. Latitudes and Longitudes and Landowner contact
information are included in this section.
B. SITES
This section contains information on the fields identified for biosolids applications:
topographic maps, aerial photos, a soil neap, and a vicinity map. Also included is
information on the soil types and hand auger boring investigations. Detailed soils
analyses is located here also. The completed NC-DEM Agreement for Land
Application of Waste Sludge to Private Lands LARS Form p. 15-18 can also be
found in this section.
C. SOILS/AGRONOMY
This section contains _the Soil Scientist's Report. A detailed description of each soil

type existing on each site is -found in this section, including profile descriptions. The
information on the Soils was taken from the local Soil Surveys, and verified through
field hand auger borings symbolized by an 'Y' on the site maps.
This section also contains the Agronomy Report including loading rate
recommendations for nutrients and dry tonnages/ac for particular crops produced at
each site. Surface application will occur on all three sites which are currently in
grassland.
A."30 project manager will contact the landowners to schedule applications. Prior
to spreading operations, the project manager will flag the site according to the buffer
zones listed in the permit.
Surface applications occur on hay and pasture lands. The spreader surface
applies an even application of the dewatered biosolid between 10 to 50 cubic yards
or wet tons/ac, depending on the amount of dry tons allowed by the permit and the
percent solids of the biosolid. Calibration of the spreader has been predetermined
through a procedure that involves adjustment of both the speed of the vehicle and
the size of the gate opening. Generally, the operator begins at the back of a field
working to the front to avoid getting "painted into a corner." This continues until
the field is completed.
Since the biosolids will be applied to private lands, no trespassing is allowed on any
of the sites. Fencing is in place to allow for cattle control and rotations.
A report showing the date, dry tonnage, gallons, field numbers, acres and pounds -
per -acre applied of nutrients and metals will be generated for each application event.
Copies of these reports will be submitted to the Town of Spruce Pine and the
landowners. An annual report will be generated as required in the permit.

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.
i bl, b5 Please specify a, bl, b2, b3, b4, b5 or c from below (submit all lab analysis, test results and calculations):
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 Rcduce Pathogens" (PSRP).
1. Aerobic Di ea stion - residuals are agitated with air or oxygen to maintain aerobic conditions for a specific mean cell
residence time and temperature between 40 days at 201 C and 60 days at 151 C.
2. AirD ing - residuals are dried on sand beds or on paved or unpaved basins for a minimum of three months.
During two of the three months, the ambient average daily temperature is above Oo C.
3. Anaerobic Di estion residuals are treated in the absence of air for a specific mean cell residence time and
temperature between 15 days at 350 C to 550 C and 60 days at 200 C.
4. Corn op sting - 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.
a, c. f. i 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.
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 bench scale 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.
FORD.- LARS 02/95 Page 4 of 18

g. Drying (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. Incorporation - 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 ARID APPLICATION:
1. How will the residuals be delivered to the application sites (leak proof trucks, etc.)? Transported to sites and applied there
by industrial spreader trucks
2. What type of equipment will be utilized for land application? Industrial spreader trucks
3. _ How will the application of the residual be controlled to ensure that there is proper distribution over the site?

SOL SCIENTIST REPORT for Town of SpEUce Pine
Add Acreage to Current Permit # WQ0002349
AGRICULTURAL UTILIZA TIONILAND APPLICATION OF BIOSOLIDS
Farmland in Mitchell County is proposed as sites for land application of biosolids
from the Wastewater Treatment Plant for the Town of Spruce Pine. Utilizing
information from the county soil survey along with the soil profiles taken at each site
the following report has been compiled.
There are three proposed application sites: P (Phillips), R (Robinson) and B (Byrd). _
The current cropping system is fescue for pasture or hayland on all sites.
The soil mapping units as shown on the Mitchell County Soil Survey:
Site P - Watauga coarse sandy loam, 8-15% slopes, stony (361 D on Soils map)
Site R - Evard-Cowee complex, 8-15% slopes (337D on Soils map)
Site B - Clifton clay loam, 8-15% slopes, eroded (313D on Soils map)
A description of each site and field is provided below. The information obtained from
the Natural Resource Conservation Service office was verified through auger borings
in each field. The auger boring sites are indicated on the site map with an Y.
Descriptions of the borings are provided on the site evaluation sheets in each site
section. Soil samples were taken from each field and the analyses including the pH
and CEC are included in the site section for each landowner.
Evard Series: Hydraulic conductivity (permeability) is moderately rapid in the upper 6
inches at 2.0 to 6.0 inches/hr; and moderate at 0.6 - 2.0 inches/ hr at lower depths.
The seasonal high water table is more than 6 feet below the surface. There are no
restrictive soil horizons less than 3 feet from the surface; hard bedrock is found at
depths greater than 60 inches.
Cowee Series: Hydraulic conductivity (permeability) is moderately rapid in the upper 6
inches at 2.0 to 6.0 inches/hr; and moderate at 0.6 - 2.0 inches/ hr at lower depths.
The seasonal high water table is more than 6 feet below the surface. Depth to hard
bedrock is greater than 40 inches; soft bedrock may be found from 20 to 40 inches in
a typical mapping unit but were not in the borings made onsite; no contiguous
restrictive horizons were found within 36 inches of the soil surface. Surface gravels of
varying sizes were found on the surface and throughout the profile.
Clifton Series: Hydraulic conductivity (permeability) is moderate at 0.6 - 2.0 inches/hr
throughout the profile. The seasonal high water table is more than 6 feet below the
surface. There are no restrictive soil horizons or bedrock less than 3 feet from the
surface. Mica and a few gravels are found throughout the profile.
Watauga Series: Hydraulic conductivity (permeability) is moderately rapid in the upper
6 inches at 2.0 to 6.0 inches/hr; and moderate at 0.6 - 2.0 inches/ hr at lower depths.
The seasonal high water table is more than 6 feet below the surface. There are no

restrictive soil horizons or bedrock less than 3 feet from the surface. Mica and
scattered gravels may be found throughout the profile.
Site P - T. Phillips: Watauga coarse sandy loam, 8-15% slopes, stony (361D on
map)
Meld 1: applied acreage is 13.0 acres. This upland field is consistent with the soil
survey mapping of Watauga coarse sandy loam, 8-15% slopes, stony. Two auger
borings showed- texture, structure and color within the ranges prescribed for the
series. Mica and scattered gravels were found in the profile. Bedrock was not found
within 36 inches of the soil surface; there were no contiguous restrictive horizons, and
the entire area for land application is well -drained and upland. Excessive slopes,
intermittent drains and a stream and pond are buffered.
Site R - M. Robinson: Evard-Cowee complex, 6-16% slopes (337D on map)
Field 1: applied acreage is 14..0 acres. This upland field is consistent with the soil
survey mapping of Evard-Cowee complex, 8-15% slopes. Two auger borings showed
texture, structure and color within the ranges prescribed for the Evard series;
scattered gravels were in the profile and on the surface; bedrock was not found within
the 36 inches prescribed for land- application. There were no contiguous restrictive
horizons; the area for land application is well -drained and upland with excessive
slope areas buffered.
Site L ; z ` Byrd: Clifton clay loam, .0 - [ % slopes, ' o de d i D on map
Field 1: applied acreage is 18.0 acres. This upland field is consistent with the soil
survey mapping of Clifton clay loam, 8-15% slopes, eroded. Two auger borings
showed texture, structure and color within the ranges prescribed for the Clifton series;
mica and scattered gravels were found; bedrock was not found within the 36 inches
prescribed for land application. There were no contiguous restrictive horizons; the
area for land application is well -drained and runs along a narrow ridge which
broadens at the shoulder and nose slopes at either end of the ridge; excessive slope
areas are buffered.
Buffer Zones for All Sites:
Buffer zones will be flagged on sites as shown on each site map for excessive slopes
and proximity to drainageways. Proper calibration of spreader equipment, and
monitoring and timing of the land application by the spreader equipment will ensure
that biosolids are applied evenly and remain onsite. Weather patterns will be
monitored to avoid application in advance of severe rainfall.

All water supply wells are at a sufficient distance from all three sites such that there is
minimal potential for groundwater contamination to occur. None of the sites are
subject to flooding due to their upland terrain. The slow release nature of organic
nitrogen (mineralization) ensures groundwater protection. Only small amounts of the
available forms of nitrogen are released into the soil solution over several months,
allowing the crops to utilize it throughout the growing season. Because of this,
groundwater monitoring wells will not be necessary.
See soil auger boring descriptions in site sections for soil profile details.

45 acres in 3 fields on 3 tracts in Mitchell County is proposed for biosolids
application under this modification to the current permit. All 3 fields are managed
in the perennial cool season grass fescue and are utilized as pastureland or
hayland depending on the needs of the landowner.
Few biosolids will provide all of the nutrients and lime required for ideal hay and
grass production. The wastewater treatment plant biosolids, when applied at an
agronomic rate will provide part of the requirements for nitrogen, phosphorus
and potash. It will also be an excellent source of sulfur, calcium, and
magnesium.
As with any agricultural practice, soil pH is .very important to monitor and adjust
when necessary for proper nutrient utilization. For biosolids applications, it is
recommended that the soil pH be adjusted to 6.0 to ensure proper nutrient
utilization and heavy metal retention. The Town of Spruce Pine in consultation
with Southern Soil Builders will make the necessary arrangements to see that
the proper amount of lime is applied based on the soil test recommendations for
these sites.
Loading rate recommendations and agronomic guidelines for fescue hayland
and pasture utilization are detailed in the following pages.

Nitrogen Loading: 100 to 190 pounds per acre based on "Plant Available Nitrogen"
or PAN.
Nitrogen requirements are usually given in broad ranges for this grass because this
element can be used to control the amount of pasture produced. If maximum
amounts of pasture are not required,, reduced biosolids volume, as based on the
PAN rate, may be applied without appreciably affecting the stand and potential of the
grass. Peak production will be affected by the amount of PAN and the timing of the
biosolids application. Split applications, spring and fall, will give very good results.
Animals are restricted from grazing for a minimum of thirty (30) days after biosolids
application.

11. Prior to land applying residuals to any land application site that has previously received or is
intended to receive animal waste (e.g., poultry litter, etc.) or other source of nutrients (e.g.,
fertilizer, etc.) in the future, the Permittee shall obtain information pertaining to the volume
and analysis of the applied waste/nutrients from the landow,per and/or lessee/operator of the
site. The Permittee shall be responsible for verifying the volume of residuals that may be land
applied to the site such that the plant available nitrogen (PAN) loading rate for the specified
crop (i.e., see Condition II. 13.) shall not be exceeded by all of the sources of PAN applied.
Should the maximum PAN loading rate be met or exceeded, then no additional residuals shall
be land applied to the site.
12. A suitable vegetative cover, as listed in Condition II. 13., shall be maintained on land
application sites onto which residuals are land applied in accordance with the crop
management plan outlined by the local Cooperative Extension Office, the Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, or other
agronomist and as approved by the Division.
13. Residuals and other sources of PAN shall be land applied to all land application sites at
agronomic rates in accordance with the crop management plan outlined by the local
Cooperative Extension Office, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer
Services, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, or other agronomist. Under no
circumstances shall the following PAN loading rates land applied to any site exceed the
following for the specified crops:

The Permittee shall apply for and receive a modification of this permit before land applying
residuals on any land application site that is to be established in a crop other than those listed
above. A maximum PAN loading rate for the desired crop shall be approved with the permit
modification.
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.
G

Residuals shall not be land applied at rates greater than agronomic rates, unless authorized by
the Division.
14. .Animals shall not be grazed on any land application site for,30 days after any residuals land
application event. Sites that are to be used for grazing shall have fencing that will be used to
prevent access after each event.
15. Food crops, feed crops, and fiber crops that do not come in -contact with the residuals shall not
be harvested for 30 days after any residuals land application event.
16. Food crops with harvested parts that touch the residual/soil mixture and are totally above the
land surface (e.g„ tobacco, melons, cucumbers, squash, etc.) shall not be harvested for 14
months after any residuals land application event.
17. Food crops with harvested parts below the surface of the land (i.e., root crops such as potatoes,
carrots, radishes, etc.) shall not be harvested for 20 months after any residuals land application
event when the residuals remain on the land surface for four months or longer prior to
incorporation into the soil.
18. Food crops with harvested parts below the surface of the land shall not be harvested for 38
months after any residuals land application event when the residuals remain on the land
surface for less than four months prior to incorporation into the soil.
19. Turf shall not be harvested for one year after any residuals land application event.
20. Adequate provisions shall be taken to prevent wind erosion and surface runoff from conveying
residuals from the land application sites onto adjacent properties or into any surface waters.
21. Adequate procedures shall be provided to prevent surface runoff from carrying any land
applied or stored residuals into any surface waters.
22.1 Surface -applied residuals shall be plowed or disced within 24 hours after land application on
land application sites with no cover crop established.
23. For land application sites that are prone to flooding or within the 100-year flood elevation,
residuals shall be land applied only during periods of dry weather. The residuals shall be
incorporated into the soil within 24 hours after land application.
24. Residuals shall not be land applied during inclement weather or until 24 hours following a
rainfall event of 0.5-inch or greater in 24 hours. Any emergency residuals land application
measures shall first be approved in writing by the Division.
25. Residuals shall not be land applied to any land application site that is flooded, frozen, or
snow-covered.
26. Appropriate measures shall be taken to control public access to the land application sites
during active site use and for the 12-month period following the last residuals land application
event, Such controls may include the posting of signs indicating the activities being
conducted at each site.

Dear FRANK HENLINE,
The purpose of this letter is a reminder that the monitoring reports required by the subject permit must be submitted
as an Annual Report for calendar year 2000 by no later than March 1, 2001. The report must be submitted (in
triplicate) to the following address:
DENR/DWQ/Water Quality Section
Non -Discharge Compliance Unit
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, N.C. 27699-1617
Due to limitations in storage space, please submit the reports in bound form rather than in notebook form.
Permittees are subject to civil penalty for failing to submit the Annual Report as required by their permit.
Enclosed are the summary and certification sheets that must be used for your annual report. Please complete these
sheets and if necessary make copies of the blank forms if extras are needed. The forms have not changed since last
year, so you may use those you already have on hand.
You will however note that the forms include information required by EPA as outlined in 40 CFR Part 503. Since the
requirements of 40 CFR Part 503 are self implementing, they are legally binding and enforceable Federal
requirements for all persons subject to the requirements of 40 CFR Part 503, even if these requirements are not
currently contained in the state permit. The annual reports for the EPA must be received by EPA at the following
address on or before February 19, 2001.
