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 16 additional acres of land. The Hollifield site is
a hay field which lies adjacent to the North Toe River. 3 acres of this site are located within
the flood plain of the river and may be subject to frequent flooding. The other 5 acres are
upland and not subject to flooding. I was unable to determine the location of off property
dwellings and wells. Additional information should be submitted to locate the off property
dwellings and wells which may be within the 400 feet buffer area.
The proposed site at the Unimin Corporation is a tailings dump in which mine tailings range
from 10 to 40 feet deep. Soil has been placed on the tailings and the site grassed. The
sludge is being applied as a soil - conditioner to improve soil characteristics. The site is
somewhat isolated with one house being located west of the site. The 400 feet buffer
requirement should be checked at this location.
Because of the nature of this sludge there will be short term odor problems in the immediate
areas of application. Once the buffer and flooding issues are addressed it is recommended
that the permit be issued.

PERMIT # WQ0002349
MARCH 2O00
I. 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 16
acres at 2 sites to its current permit, for a total of 31 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
and, on the Unimin site, to assist in the reclamation of this site.
II. OUTLINE OF APPLICATION INFORMATION
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 . ANALYSIS
This section contains the Total Biosolids analysis, TCLP and Fecal Coliform analysis.
C. SITES
This section contains information on the fields identified for biosolids applications:
topographic maps, aerial photos, a soil map, and a vicinity map. Also included is
information on . the soil. types, soils analyses, and hand auger boring investigations.
Detailed information on the soils is located in the SOILS section. The completed NC-
DEM Agreement for Land Application of Waste Sludge to Private Lands can also be
found in this section.

v k SOUTHERN SOIL BUILDERS, INC. Roaring River, NC
D. 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 "x" on the site maps.
This section also contains the Agronomist's Report including loading rate
recommendations for nutrients and dry tonnages/ac for particular crops produced at
each site. Surface application will occur on the mine spoil which is currently in
grassland.
III. OPERATIONS
A. FIELD
A SSB project manager will contact the landowners to schedule applications. For the
Bailey/Unimin site, a one -acre test plot will be utilized first. Subject to successful
application, the remaining. acreage will be available for land application. Prior to
spreading operations, the project manager will flag the site according to the buffer
zones listed in the permit.
SURFACE APPLICATIONS
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.
B . ACCESS CONTROL
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 staffed
gatehouse at the Unimin site controls access at all times.
I V . REPORTING
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. The Unimin Corporation requests a quarterly report during the first
year. 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.
ate. 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 Reduce Pathogens" (PSRP).
1. Aerobic Digestion - residuals are agitated with air or oxygen to maintain aerobic conditions for a specific mean cell
residence time and temperature between 40 days at 200 C and 60 days at 150 C.
2. Air Dlying - 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 Digestion - 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. 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.
a. c, f 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.
FORM: 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 tb or greater than 90%. Blending with other materials is not
allowed to achieve the total solids percentage.
i. In'et ction - 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 rase, 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 AND 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 truc s
2. What type of equipment will be utilized for land application? Industrial spreader trucks

SOILSIGROUNDWATER REPORT ,for
TOWN OF SPRUCE PINE. NORTH CAR )LINA: March 2000
LAND APPLICATION OF BIOSOLIDS - Modification to Current Permit
Sixteen (16) acres on two (2) sites in Mitchell County near the Town of Spruce
Pine are proposed for a modification to the current permit for land application of
biosolids from the Wastewater Treatment Plant for the Town of Spruce Pine. This
report was developed with onsite soils investigation and by utilizing information from
the Mitchell County Soil Survey, provided by the USDA Natural Resources
Conservation Service.
Site Description:
Site SP, Field #H1:This 8 acre pasture site is at an elevation of 2650 to 2560
feet, with 3 acres located in the floodplain of the North Toe River and 5 acres on the
adjacent high stream terrace. Location of the site is from Altapass Road, by a private
drive and bridge across.the river and through a locked gate, about 1 mile east of the
county recycling center. This new site has a thick vegetative cover of fescue and
native grasses. Cattle are rotationally grazed on this pasture.
Site SP, Field #s U1 & U2: These'sites of 8 acres total are on an upland
terrain at an elevation of 2600 feet, and are part of a large quartz and feldspar
processing operation owned by the Penland -Bailey Company and operated by Unimin
Corporation. Location of the site is to the west from the newly completed Highway
226 at the main entrance to Unimin Corporation, about. 3 miles northwest of the
Town of Spruce Pine. The proposed application is part of a mine reclamation area
where Unimin deposits tailings from their processing operations. It provides an even
surface on top of the spoil area for land application of biosolids. The site currently
has a vegetative cover of fescue and native grasses. Current deposition of material
continues, and the total mine spoil area changes annually as more spoil is deposited at
adjacent sites.
General Soils Description:
Site SP, Field #H1: The soils encountered on the proposed application site
were as shown on the Soils Map. The Soil Survey mapped the upland as Dillsboro
clay loam, 8 to 30% slopes, stony; and the floodplain as Rosman fine sandy loam, 0 to
3 % slopes, occasionally flooded.
Site SP, Field #s U1 & U2: The materials encountered on the proposed
application sites are a mixture of spoil material from the quartz and feldspar mining
operations over which local material (topsoil and subsoil mixed) is applied and
stabilized. The Soil Survey has mapped adjacent areas from which this fill material is
taken as Watauga coarse sandy loam, 8 to 50% slopes, stony. The tailings deposited
2

SOUTHERN SOIL BUILDERS, INC. Roaring River, NC
are a ground mineral product of quartz and feldspar, mixed with flocculants and and
substances and deposited with local soil material as a cover, as per the requirements
of the Mine Reclamation Act. The overall depth of the material is quite deep, as much
sixty feet, with ,2:1 sideslopes and a fairly flat top surface. The application area will
only be on the level tops of the graded deposition sites. Surface runoff will drain
primarily into several sediment ponds immediately downslope on the same property.
DILLSBORO SERIES (243)
This soil series is a very deep and well drained stony clay loam found on upland
ridges and sideslopes. In a representative profile as described in the survey, a typical
surface layer is loamy with numerous stones scattered across the surface; the
subsurface is loamy; permeability and available water capacity are moderate; shrink -
swell potential is moderate in the subsoil; and the seasonal high water table is below 6
feet, with seeps and springs common.
ROSMAN SERIES (11)
This soil series is a moderately well to well drained very deep loam found in
floodplains along major streams. In a representative profile as described in the
survey, a typical surface -layer is loamy with 0 to 15% stones by volume scattered in
the upper 40 inches; below a depth of 40 inches rock fragments may range up to
50%; permeability is moderately rapid, shrink -swell potential is low, and the
seasonal high water table ranges from 2.5 to 5 feet below the soil surface from
December through April.
WATAUGA SERIES (361)
This soil series is a very deep and well drained soil found on upland ridges and
sideslopes. In a representative profile as described in the survey, a typical surface
layer is loamy with numerous stones scattered across the surface; the subsurface is
loamy with) much mica; permeability is moderate, shrink -swell potential is low, and
the .seasonal high water table is below 6 feet.
Onsite Soils Evaluation:
Site SP, Field #111: As noted on the attached soils evaluation sheet the soils
encountered onsite match the descriptions found in the Soil Survey. A profile
investigation on the ridgetop found that the upper 10 inches is a brown sandy loam
with a few rock fragments. The subsoil to a depth of 36 inches is sandy clay loam to
clay loam, also with a few rock fragments. Hydraulic conductivity is field estimated
to be 0.6 - 2.0 inches per hour.
Boring in the floodplain revealed 12 inches of brown loam with brownish
yellow sandy clay loam to a depth of 38 inches. No drainage mottles were observed at
this site. The soil series is described as occasionally flooded due to its proximity to
the North Toe River; the mild amount of land slope facilitates the surface drainage of
floodwaters which may occur. Hydraulic conductivity is field estimated to be 2.0 -

SOUTHERN SOIL BUILDERS, INC.
Roaring River, NC
6.0 inches per hour. No restrictive layers were found so there should be no rooting
depth restrictions. Biosolids application will aid in the production of vegetative
matter.
The soil analysis shows the pH on this site at 5.5 with a cation exchange
capacity of 6.1 meq/100g. Sufficient lime to raise the ph to 6.0 will be applied when
the biosolids application event occurs.
Site SP, Field #s U1 & U2: As noted on the attached soils evaluation sheet
the soil profiles found are a layered, mixed material combining tailings with local fill
material. The texture and structure of the surface is variable ranging from sandy
loam to sandy clay loam, with local soil fill material serving as a cover for the spoil.
Quartz, feldspar and mica shards are common on the surface. The subsoil profile is
primarily the waste product of ground minerals from the quartz and feldspar
processing operation. The topsoil has sufficient, texture and structure to allow the
growth of vegetative cover.
There appear to be no contiguous restrictive layers so there should be minimal
rooting depth restrictions. Surface permeability through the topsoil cover is sufficient
to provide adequate vegetative growth. Hydraulic conductivity is field estimated to
range from 0.2 to 2.0 inches per hour. Current low organic matter is shown in the
soils analysis. Enhanced biological and chemical weathering of this material will
occur after the. application event. Biosolids application will .greatly aid in the
production of vegetative matter.
The soil analysis shows the pH of this material at 5.8 at site U 1 with a cation
exchange capacity of 3.1 meq/100g; the pH of. U2 is 5.6 also with a cation exchange
capacity of 2.2 meq/100g. Essential elements for plant growth to assist in sustaining a
vegetative cover will be applied to this area, as described in the soil analysis
recommendations.
Buffer Zones:
Site SP, Field #H1: Buffer zones will be flagged on this site for excessive
slopes -and proximity to the river. 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.
Site SP, Field #s U1 & U2: The boundary lines of the fields enclose only
the level tops of the spoil; therefore it' should not be necessary to flag any buffer
zones on this site; there are no nearby property lines, wells, streams, ponds,
drainageways, public right-of-ways, residences or places of public assembly, or
public or private water supply sources. Proper calibration of spreader equipment and
measurement of width covered will ensure that biosolids remain within, the field
boundaries.

,SOUTHERN SOIL BUILDERS, INC.
Roaring River, NC
Groundwater Description:
Site SP, Field #H1: All water supply wells are at a sufficient distance from
this site such that there is minimal potential for groundwater contamination to occur.
Three (3) acres of the site are subject to occasional flooding due to proximity to the
North Toe River. Biosolids application is appropriate during the growing season and
will be avoided on these 3 acres during the wet winter months December through
April.
Site SP, Field. #s U1 & U2: All water supply wells are at a sufficient
distance from this site such that there is minimal potential for groundwater
contamination to occur. This site is not subject to flooding due to its 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, gr undwater monitoring wells will not be necessary.

AGRONOMIST REPORT for TOWN OF SPRUCE PINE, NC.:
AGRICULTURAL UTILIZATION
LAND APPLICATION OF BIOSOLIDS
The use of municipal wastewater biosolids as a fertilizer supplement to grow crops
is a common biosolids management practice utilized by cities and industries
nationwide and abroad. The organic matter, nutrients (micro and macro) and in
some cases lime, will, when used in a properly managed program, serve as a soil
amender and fertilizer source at a substantial cost savings to the landowner. For
both of the sites on this application, fescue and other grasses are the crop to which
the biosolids will be surface applied. Quarterly monitoring will be performed by
the Town of Spruce Pine on the Bailey/Unimin site in the first year after
application on one acre. Upon successful implementation further applications on
the remaining acreage may occur.
Few biosolids will provide all of the nutrients and lime required for ideal hay and
crop production. The wastewater treatment plant biosolids, when applied at a full
agronomic rate, will provide much of the grass and other crop 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 and/or SSB will
make the necessary arrangements to see that the proper amount of lime is applied
based on recommendations for this region.
Loading rate recommendations and agronomic suggestions for the crops produced
on these sites are detal a in the following pages.

FESCUE and ORCHARDGRASS
Nitrogen Loading: 100 to 250 pounds per acre/year * based on "Plant Available Nitrogen" or PAN.
Nitrogen requirements are usually given in broad ranges for these grasses because this element can
be used to control the amount of pasture or hay produced. If maximum amounts of pasture or hay 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.
Hay baled from biosolids amended fields is suitable for the hay market.
Animals should not be allowed to graze for at least thirty (30) days after biosolids application.

Nitrogen Loading: 80 - 100 pounds per acre/yr/crop based on "Plant Available Nitrogen" or PAN.
Best Management Plans include double cropping small grains in the fall following milo, corn or
soybeans. Small grains are sometimes overseeded in hay/pasture fields during the winter months to
provide winter grazing during grass dormancy. Top dressing with biosolids when growth is 2 - 4
inches is possible. Small grams are harvested for grain in early summer or chopped in the spring
during the milking stage for silage feed. Normal late spring grain harvest should allow for a full
sudex, corn or milo season producing acceptable yields.

To: Kim Colson
Through: Ted Bus
From: David rich p/q ,
Subject: Town of Spruce Pine
Modification of Land Application Permit
Mitchell County
WQ0002349/GW00086
(J.R. Joshi: DEM SERG Review Engineer)
The Groundwater Section is in receipt of the subject application to modify existing Permit
Number WQ0002349, issued on January 14, 2000. The existing permit allows the application
of 134 dry tons per year of wastewater residuals generated by the town's wastewater treatment
facility onto approximately 15 acres of land on Site Number SP1 (owned by the Penland -Bailey
Company (see Figures 1 and 2).. The proposed modification consists of adding approximately-
sixteen acres of land to the distribution area. These sixteen new acres will consist of three fields
owned by J.D. Hollifield (Site SP, Field H1 (with 8.0 applicable acres), shown in Figures 3 and
4) and Mary Lee Bailey (Site-SP, Fields Ul (with 3.5 applicable acres) and U2 (with 4.5
applicable acres), shown in Figures 5 and 6).
According to the application for permit modification, the town's wastewater treatment
plant will continue to be the sole source of the residuals and the total application onto all four
fields (representing 31 applicable acres) will continue to be 134 dry tons per year. In order to
assess the ability of the three new fields to assimilate the residuals, an investigation was
performed by a soil scientist. The soil scientist's report indicated that the new fields were
capable of receiving residuals, however, three of the eight applicable acres of Site SP, Field H1
are subject to occasional flooding by the adjacent North Toe River. The soil scientist therefore
recommends that application in this area be avoided from December through April (5 months).
The two other fields (Site SP, Fields Ul and U2) are former strip mine areas which have been
reclaimed in accordance with the requirements of the Mine Reclamation Act, having a subsoil
consisting of well -drained mine spoil material.
In view of the recommendations of the soil scientist, the Groundwater Section
recommends that residual application onto the 3-acre area which is prone to occasional flooding
MAY 2 4 2000'

be avoided from December through April (inclusive).
The Groundwater Section has reviewed the subject permit application and recommends issuance
of a modified permit with the following conditions:
*1. The three -acre area on Site SP, Field H1 (owned by J.D. Hollifield) identified in the soil
scientist's report as being prone to occasional flooding shall not receive residuals between
the months of December and April, inclusive.
*2. Residuals shall only be applied at agronomic rates.
3. No land application of waste activities shall be undertaken when the seasonal high water table
is less than three feet below land surface.
4. Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be provided.
5. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified by regulations in 15A
NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. The Compliance Boundary for a
disposal system individually permitted after December 31, 1983 is established at either (1) 250
feet from the waste disposal area, or (2) 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is
closest to the waste disposal area. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or
beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to immediate remediation action in addition to the
penalty provisions applicable under General Statute 143-215.6A(a)(1).
In accordance with 15A NCAC 2L, a 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 remediation
action on the part of the permittee.
If there are any questions please let me know.
