Subject: Permit Renewal
Cherryville WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NC0044440
Gaston County, NC
Dear Ms. Wren Thedford,
I am requesting renewal of Cherryville WWTP permit# NC004440.
Enclosed you will find the EPA Form 2A for our permit renewal package.
Our results for our second species toxicity test will follow as we were not aware of the extra
required testing that wasn't listed on our permit. We have them scheduled for February, March,
April and May of 2015. Also we will be doing our last APAM in April of 2015. I spoke with Mr.
Charles Weaver and he suggested we get them as soon as possible. He also stated that it would
be listed on our new permit.
We have not had any changes since our last permit. We land apply our Bio-soilds.
We use Synagro for our Land App program. I have enclosed what I could on our Sludge
management plan. I will send more as it becomes available. Synagro has ask for a thirty day
extension on our Land App Annual Report, therefore I do not have the 2014 Annual Report yet.
I hope that you find this satisfactory, please contact me at the number below if you have any
questions.
Sincerely,

Cherryville Wastewater Treatment Plant
Biosolids Management Plan
Permit # WQ0000430

Residuals Transport and Application
The residual solids management plan describes the process in which residuals from
the City of Cherryville will be land applied to agricultural lands for beneficial
reuse. Residuals will be applied at agronomic rates to proposed sites in Lincoln
and Gaston Counties where they will be used as a replacement for conventional
nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers.
Treatment
The City of Cherryville has a land application program for the biosolids it
produces. The biosolids have been previously analyzed by an independent laboratory
for nutrient and metal concentrations. After the treatment and analysis of the
biosolids they can be injected, incorporated, or surface applied as a class B
biosolids.
Transportation
Biosolids will be loaded at the plant in a designated staging area assigned by the
plant. They will then be transported to the land application site in leak proof
tank trailers driven by experienced drivers. Trucks will travel major traffic
routes to the fields; highway regulations such as weight limits and other
ordinances are known and will be observed. Trucks will deliver the biosolids
directly to the site of application and off-load into the field applicator (terra-
gator, spreader truck, pull tank, umbilical system, etc.) .
Application
Prior to any application soil samples will be taken of the sites to be used.
These sites will be analyzed for liming requirements and nutrient and metal
concentrations. From this site analysis and knowing the crop nutrient requirement
for the proposed sites, an application rate can be determined that does not exceed
the agronomic rate of the crop. A residual PAN carryover will also be determined
and factored into the application rates. This residual PAN is calculated up to
five years. Once liming and application rates have been determined, the fields
will be limed to bring the pH to an acceptable level. The fields are then to be
flagged showing buffer areas clearly •(buffer explanation on following page) . All
applications of biosolids will stop during times of inclement weather* to limit
the amount of compaction caused by equipment. The application equipment will be
calibrated and adjusted as needed using techniques approved by NC State
University. Experienced operators will apply the biosolids evenly across the
field.
Note: All proposed fields are located in secluded areas, are privately
owned and are posted accordingly. Most of the fields are fenced for grazing
pasture.
* Inclement weather - more than .5" of rain in a 24 hour period, snow
covered or frozen ground

AGRONOMIST REPORT
Synagro Southeast (Synagro) is operating a land application program for the
recycling/beneficial reuse of wastewater biosolids produced at the City of Cherryville
WWTP. The agronomist report is submitted as a crucial step in the review of potential
receiver sites for the program. Several factors should be taken into consideration in
determining a site's suitability to receive biosolids. These factors are:
• Site Investigation
• Topography
• Soils
• Biosolids Characteristics and Loading Rates
• Crop Management
Site Investigation
The site investigation consisted of a physical observation of each proposed site in which
the following parameters were evaluated:
• Soil Characteristics
• Slope
• Cropping Systems
• Location of Property Lines
• Location of Residences
• Location of Wells and Surface Water Features
Site specific information is enclosed (See Section VIII) for each site evaluated.
Application area maps delineating the proposed application areas within each field are
also enclosed. _
Topography
The slope of each site was evaluated during the site investigation. The slope for the
individual sites range from 0 to 10 percent for surface application and 0 to 18 percent for
sub-surface injection. Areas of excessive slope have been eliminated from the
application areas.
Soils
Soil fertility samples were collected from each site and were analyzed for standard soil
fertility parameters and regulated metals content. The results of these analyses are
reported in Section VIII. Soil testing of the sites included in this application indicates
that the soil pH is moderately acidic on most sites and should be adjusted by the addition
of lime prior to or during land application activities being performed in order to achieve

optimal crop production. The lime recommendations are generally made based on raising
the pH to a standard of 6.0.
13iosolids Characteristics and Loading Rates
Biosolids samples were collected and analyzed by an independent laboratory (See
Section III). The biosolids analysis report and calculations indicate that the residuals are
non-hazardous and non-toxic. Both the soils and the crops should be able to assimilate
the proposed loadings of liquids, solids, nitrogen, phosphorus, heavy metals, and salts
known to be in the residuals. This assessment is based on the biosolids analysis
provided, the planned application rate,proper crop management guidelines and adherence
to permit requirements. Nitrogen is considered to be the most limiting characteristic of
these biosolids, however, soil tests should be reviewed annually to identify any changes
in the nutrient status of the soil.
Crop Management
Based on the site and soil evaluations, crop nutrient requirements and the nutrient content
of the biosolids, all sites should readily assimilate the residuals, however crop rotations
and management practices should be evaluated prior to each application to account for
changes in the proposed crop rotation and land use objectives. Site specific cropping
patterns are discussed further in the Site Descriptions contained in Section VIII. Crop
management guidelines that will be of importance for these sites will be:
• timing of application events with plant nutritional needs and periods of plant
dormancy,
• split applications to prevent hydraulic overloading or nutrient leaching,
• performance of proper stabilization methods to fit crop and soil needs,
• establishment of suitable vegetative cover on current agricultural sites,
• incorporation or injection of residual solids on fields that have a high
incidence of flooding,
• maintenance of proper vegetative cover on more sloping areas with runoff
potential, and
• proper coordination between application events and crop harvesting.
Land application should provide an environmentally acceptable means of beneficial reuse
of the biosolids provided all the parameters of the agronomist report and the requirements
of the permit are followed.

From: Weaver,Charles
To: Larry Wright
Larry—the requirement for 2nd species toxicity testing was forced upon us by EPA in the early 2000s. We're
going to add it to permits as a special condition, but unfortunately we can't waive the requirement.
If you haven't done any before now I believe you can do them monthly to get four done fairly soon. Check
with the Aquatic Toxicity staff and they'll help you out.

Subject: Re: renewal notice for NPDES permit NC0044440
Importance: High
We are working on our NPDES permit renewal and should have it mailed next week by January 23 to meet the
deadline of February 1st.
I have a question about the renewal requirements part 2 on the scanned attached document.
See attached
My question is,we were supposed to have done 4 additional Toxicity test? If so, I did not know this.
The way I am reading the attached letter part 2 is that we were suppose to do four additional Toxicity test?
I don't remember having to do that five years ago. I think we just sent copies of our normal toxicity results in with our
permit renewal.
Thanks,
Larry Wright

LAB CERTIFICATION# 5619 Expires 12/31/2015
STORMWATER PERMIT# NCG110135 Expires 05/31/2018
LAND APPLICATION PERMIT# WQ0000430 Expires 07/31/2015

Description of Treatment Process:
This facility is located on Tot Dellinger Road just outside the city limits. The Plant is an
activated sludge plant designed to treat 2.0 MGD -million gallons per day. The facility
consist of a bar screen, grit removal,dual oxidation ditches, dual secondary clarifiers, chlorine
disinfection and de-chlorination system, flow measurement, cascade aeration, aerated sludge
holding tank, sludge storage lagoon, and sludge drying beds which are no longer in use. This
Facility discharges into the Indian Creek,which is classified C water in the Catawba River
Basin.
II. Performance
Summary of System Performance for calendar year 2014:
This Facility is well maintained and in good operational condition. Effluent from the
secondary clarifiers is of high quality with few suspended solids. The mixed liquor in the
aeration basin are mixed well and is maintained at a sufficient dissolved oxygen level for the
biological process to operate properly. The mixed liquor in the secondary clarifiers exhibits
Good settling characteristics. We rebuilt the rear Oxidation ditch rotor shaft,replaced the
bearings and rebuilt the motor.
Records concerning instrument calibration and process control are being maintained in
accordance with NPDES Permit requirements.
The discharge monitoring reports (DMRs), chain-of-custody forms, and laboratory analyses
form are readily available for review in the facility's office. All records are complete and up-
to-date.
Overall, for the previous twelve(12)months this facility has performed well.
Everything is in good order, except the Influent mechanical bar screen. The oxidation ditches
are starting to show signs of wear. The front Oxidation ditch rotor will need to a rebuild
during the 2015-2016 budget year.
The Influent mechanical bar screen is severely corroded and not operational. We are using the
backup manual Influent bar screen. The City of Cherryville sanitation department hauls
screenings from the bar screen to Gaston County Landfill. The screenings from the grit
removal system are contracted and hauled by GDS of Cleveland County.
Our land application is contracted by Synagro Central, LLC. We contact our Analytical out to
Shealy Lab in Columbia, SC. Our Toxcity testing is contracted by Pace Lab in Charlotte, NC.
Cherryville Wastewater Plant had no issued violations or NOV's during the year of 2014.
We had two inspections by NCDENR during 2014. Sludge/Land App inspection on
September 25, 2014 and a Plant inspection on December 9,2014.
We received the 2014 Operation and Maintenance Excellence of the year award for the
western region at the NC AWWA Conference in Winston Salem, NC.

FLOW MEASUREMENT:
The effluent flow is being measured using a ultrasonic flow meter with a totalizer. Carolina
Technical Services, Inc. of China Grove, North Carolina calibrates the flow meter quarterly. (4
times per year but only required one time per year.) The contracted company (performing the
meter calibration) should document a comparison of an instantaneous flow measurement to the
flow meter's recorded flow rate to verify that the flow meter's accuracy is within 10% of the
actual discharge.
A full and complete copy of The City of Cherryville Wastewater Treatment Plant's
"Performance Annual Report"will be posted on a prominent Bulletin Board located at the
City Hall of Cherryville and the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
