Dear, Mr. Wise:
October 29, 4997
Subject , Permit No. WQ0000484=clarification
Mountaire Farms of North Carolina, Inc.
Wastewater Spray Irrigation
Robeson County,
On August 29, 1997 the Division issued Mountaire Farms a modification permit for the facility in
Lumber Bridge. In the letter dated- September 25, 1997, Mountaire Farms noted, several discrepancies in
the permit. The Division has updated this. permit as appropriate'. Therefore, in accordance 'with your
request dated September 25, 1997 we are forwarding herewith modified Permit No. WQ0000484 dated
October 29, 1997, to Mountaire Farms of North Carolina, Inc., for the continued operation of.the subject
wastewater treatment and spray irrigation facilities. The following are.comments/changes made .to the
requests in the September'25, 1997 letter and are nuii be'red identical to .the letter.
1. Comment: Condition H.7.b. increase the. nitrogen loading rate to 4.00 pounds per.. acre,per.year as
requested in the application.
Response: Added in the permit is the list of PAN limits for the different crops (Coastal Bermuda
Grass and Winter Grain (Wheat, oats, rye, etc.) approved by the Division for this
facility. Depending on the type of crop Mountaire Farms,plants, the PAN limit will
change. Also added is the double cropping condition which -allows for double
cropping with the appropriate reduction.in nitrogen loading for the` second crop.
PAN -limits can. vary if Mountaire .. gets an extension, agent . or appropriate
agronomist/soil scientist to determine the realistic yield expectation (RYE) for the sites
and crops to be grown and determine the site specific PAN requirements. This
should , allow for- enough flexibility to allow for ease of operation without
compromising the protection of the water quality or-groundwater.quality. If the RYE
option is to be taken, justification must be submitted to the Division for -approval prior
to an increase in loading.
2. Comment:
Condition II.12 requires weekly raking during April through October and every other
week during November through March. Request to read -as requested in letter.
Response:
The, requested language has been included in the permit. A sentence has been added
to the end of the language requiring at a minimum, monthly raking of the infiltration
basins.
3. Comment
Request "rotary distributor system in Condition IV.1.A be changed to "rapid
infiltration system"
Response:
This language has been changed.

WQ0000484 'issued ,April 30, 1996, and shall be 'subject to the following specified conditions and
limitations:
t
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. The spray irrigation facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times so that
there is no discharge to the surface waters, nor any contamination of ground waters which
will render them unsatisfactory for normal use. In the event that the facilities fail to
perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions or failure of the
irrigation area to adequately assimilate the wastewater, the Permittee shall take immediate
corrective actions including those actions that may be required by the Division of Water
Quality, such as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment and
disposal facilities.
2. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages
to surface or groundwaters resulting from the operation of this facility.
3. The residuals generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed in accordance with
General Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality.
4. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater 'from the treatment facilities is
prohibited.
5. The following buffers shall be maintained:
a) 400 feet between wetted area and any residence or places of public assembly under
separate ownership,
b) 150 feet between wetted area and property lines,
c) 100 feet between wetted area and wells,
d) 100 feet between wetted area and drainageways or surface water bodies,
e) 50 feet between wetted area and public right of ways,
f) .100 feet between wastewater treatment units and wells, and
g) 50 feet between wastewater treatment units and property lines.
Some of the buffers specified above may not have been included in previous permits for
this waste treatment and disposal system. These buffers are not intended to prohibit or
prevent modifications, which are required by the Division, to improve performance of the
existing treatment facility. These buffers do, however, apply to modifications of the
treatment and disposal facilities which are for the purpose of increasing the flow that is
tributary to the facility. These buffers do apply to any expansion or modification of the
spray irrigation areas and apply in instances in which the sale of property would cause any
of the buffers now complied with, for the treatment and disposal facilities, to be violated.
The applicant is advised that any modifications to the existing facilities will require a permit
modification.
6. The spray field expansion shall not be under -drained. Areas subject to ponding must be
excluded from irrigation.
7. Ponding of wastewater on any spray irrigation areas will indicate failure of the treatment
and disposal system and shall be sufficient reason for the Division of Water Quality to
require remedial action.
8. After the initial operation of the pump stations and force mains for the infiltration galleries,
Mountaire Farms will perform a test to simulate a power failure. This test shall determine
the time interval between pump shut down, high level alarms and the rate at which the wet
well and groundwater levels reach unacceptable levels. Should this time interval be shorter
than the observed power outages reported by CP&L then Mountaire shall install an
emergency generator for the pump stations.
2
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE. REQUIREMENTS
1. The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. Upon classification of the facility by the Water Pollution Control System -Operators
Certification -Commission ()hPCSOCC), the Permittee shall employ a certified wastewater
treatment plant-: operator to be in responsible charge (ORC) of the wastewater treatment
facilities. The operator must hold a certificate of the type and 'grade at. least equivalent to or
greater than the classification assigned to the wastewater .treatment .facilities by the
WPCSOCC. The Permittee must also employ a certified back-up operator of the
appropriate.type and grade to -comply with the conditions of.15A NCAC 8A .0202. The
ORC of the facility must visit each Class I facility- at least weekly. and each Class H, III, and
IV facility at least daily, excluding weekends. and .holidays, and must properly manage and
document daily operation and maintenance of the facility and must comply with all other
conditions of 15A NCAC 8A .0202.
3. A suitable vegetative cover of Coastal Bermuda Grass and Winter Grain (Wheat, oats,. rye,
etc.) shall be maintained on the spray irrigation area. Other crops may not be grown on the
spray fields without first requesting and receiving a modification to this permit..
4. Irrigation shall not -be performed during inclement weather or when the ground is in a
condition that will cause runoff.
5. Adequate measures shall betaken to prevent wastewater runoff from the spray field.
6. The facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to
prevent the discharge of any wastewater resulting -from the operation of -this facility.
7. Application Rates -The application rate on the fields permitted herein. shall not exceed either
rate listed below.
a. The application rate shall not exceed a cumulative loading of 7.8 inches over any twelve
(12)'month period at an instantaneous application rate not to cause ponding or runoff.
b. The application rate,shall also be limited by Nitrogen per acre per year. as listed in the
table below:
Crop PAN (lb./acre/
Bermuda Grass ,(Hay) 300
Milo 100
Small Grain (Wheat, barley, oats) 100
Timothy; Orchard, & Rye Grass 200
If the approved spray irrigation sites are to be double cropped (Le., -a crop in.the spring and
a second crop in the fall, with BOTH crops to 'receive wastewater); then the second -crop
shall receive an application of nutrients at a rate of no greater than 50 lb./acre/yr. This
practice will 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 wastewater.
shall be applied to these fields because the nitrogen will essentially be returned to the soil.
8. No type of wastewater other than that from Mountaire Farms of North Carolina, Inc., shall
be sprayed onto the irrigation area.
9. No traffic or equipment shall be allowed on the disposal area except while installation
occurs or while normal, maintenance is being performed. At no time shall equipment be
allowed on the rapid infiltration basins.
10. Public access to the land application sites shall be controlled during active site use. Such
controls may include the posting of signs showing the activities being conducted at each
site.
11. A.flow measuring device shall be installed for influent and effluent wastewater for this
facility. The flow measuring device shall be calibrated annually.
12. The rapid infiltration basins shall be operated and maintained to prevent the surface of the
beds from becoming sealed and vegetative growth from becoming established. Vegetative
growth must be kept out of the bottom of the rapid infiltration basins at all times. All
vegetation must be removed manually so that minimal disturbances will occur to the
disposal area. At a minimum the basins shall be raked once per month.
13. The application of chemicals to the rapid infiltration basins is expressly prohibited.
