SUBJECT: B&M Meats, Inc. -
Subsurface Disposal System
Scotland County
Project No. 92-88
(Steve Berkowitz:Review Engineer)
The Groundwater Section has reviewed the subject permit
application. The application is for a subsurface wastewater
disposal system to serve B&M Meats, Inc. and apparently will be
using treatment facilities previously permitted by DEM under
permit no. 4407R2': This DEM permit covered a lagoon and spray
irrigation field, however only the lagoon was ever constructed.
The subject permit application consist of the existing lagoon
(estimated 205,000 gallon capacity) preceded only by solids
separation. Wastewater then will be disposed into a 4,500 square
foot nitrification field. Wastewater will originate from the
slaughtering of livestock. -
The issue of sizing the facility was raised in the review
process. The stated flow of 1,500 gallons per day was based on
the consultant's judgement of daily operation. However, another
third party individual states that the applicant, who is already
operating without a permit, is processing more .animals than the
design flow would indicate, with plans to expand the number of
animals processed at the facility. The Division of Environmental
issuance; however, for the purposes of these comments we used
1,500 GPD. Higher flows may warrant reconsideration of these
remarks.

The applicant .also stated that no detergents are used in the
plant (Charles Purcell report, October 16, 1992). Being familiar
with livestock processing operations, usually detergents and/or
disinfectants or other cleaning agents are necessary to comply
with USDA regulations. This has not yet been addressed by the
applicant. And as the company is already operating, the
applicant could provide a wastewater analysis as requested by the
Groundwater Section earlier. No wastewater. analysis has been
received to date. We did assume concentrations of some
parameters and used those assumptions in -our modeling. Such an
analvsis would be beneficial and should be provided prior to
The disposal system is situated on the site upgradient of a
lake and stream. Drainage is toward the lake over all of the
site. The system is also situated downgradient of several water
supply wells, with none of these wells less than 200- feet from
the disposal site.
Soils on the site are indicated to be of the Badin and
Wagram series, consisting of well drained sands and extending to
depths of at least 20 feet. The well record associated with the
single monitoring well confirmed this information. Evidence of a
seasonal high water table or static water was not addressed by
the applicant, but regional office staff did indicate no evidence
of a water table within 15 feet of the land surface. The extent
of this vadose zone should provide good treatment of the waste
constituents prior to intercepting the water table.
Based on the general site information provided by the
applicant and published information from the SCS, we attempted to
model contaminant transport though the soil and into
groundwater. Assuming concentrations of waste constituents, the
ODAST model was used to determine the probability of exceedance
of a standard at a compliance boundary. Our modeling efforts
suggested a moderate chance of exceedance at the compliance
boundary. Our low level of confidence in this outcome could be
improved if the applicant were to provide site specific
information or modeling of his own. One mitigating fact was that
the analysis of the monitoring well indicated no adverse impact
occurring in groundwater.
Given these facts, the Groundwater .Section does not object
to permit issuance. We do believe that any permit issued should
require groundwater monitoring to ensure compliance with state
groundwater quality standards. Please include the following
conditions of the.permit is issued:
1) Within 90 days of permit issuance one additional
monitoring well shall be constructed in the area
indicated on the attached site map. The well shall be
constructed such that the water level in the well is
never above or below the screened portion of -the well
at any time during the year. The exact location of the
well shall be approved by the Fayetteville Regional

Office and constructed in accordance with the
conditions of this permit.
.2. The new monitoring well shall be sampled initially
afier construction for the parameters listed below.
The existing monitoring well and the new well shall
continue to be sampled every March, July and November
for the parameters below:
NO3
TDS
pH
Chloride
Total Suspended Solids
Oil and Grease
Arsenic
Ammonia Nitrogen
TOC
Water Level
Total Coliforms
Orthophosphate
Copper
NO,
Volatile Organic Compounds - In November only (by
method 1 or 2 below)
Method 1: Method 6230D (Capillary - Column), "Standard
Methods For The Examination of Water and
Wastewater", 17th ed., 1989
Method 2: Method 502.2 "Methods For The Determination
Of Organic Compounds In Drinking Water", U.S.
EPA - 600/4-88/039
The measurement of water level must be made prior to
sampling for the remaining parameters. The depth of .
water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed
point on the top of the casing.
The measuring points (top of well casing) of all
monitoring wells shall be surveyed to provide relative
elevations of the measuring point for each monitoring
well.
If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/l are detected
in any downgradient monitoring well, additional
sampling and analysis must be conducted to identify the
individual constituents comprising_ this TOC
concentration. If the TOC concentration as measured in
the background monitor well exceeds 10 mg/l, this
concentration will be taken to represent the naturally
occurring TOC concentration. Any exceedances of this
naturally occurring TOC concentration in the
downgradient'wells shall be subject to the additional
sampling and analysis as described above: .
If any volatile organic compounds are detected by
method 6230D, or the equivalent method 502.2, then EPA
methods 604 and 611 must also be run to detect other
organic compounds which may be present. The results of

all analyses specified, in the monitoring requirements,
including 604 and 611 if required, must be' submitted
simultaneously.
The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent
to the N.C. Division of Environmental Management
P.O. Box 29535 Raleigh, N.C. 2.7626-0535 on Form GW-59
[Compliance Monitoring Report Form] every April, August
and December:
3. The Compliance Boundary for the disposal system is
specified by regulations in 15A NCAC 2L, Groundwater
Classifications and Standards. An exceedance of
Groundwater Quality Standards beyond the Compliance
Boundary is subject to the penalty provisions
applicable under General Statute 143-215.6(1)a.
For facilities permitted under 15A NCAC 18A.1900 the
Compliance Boundary is established at the property
boundary.
Any sale or transfer of property which affects the
location' of the compliance boundary shall be reported
immediately to the Director. The permittee shall not
transfer land within an established compliance boundary
unless the permittee has satisfied all the requirements
of 15A NCAC 2L .107 (e and f).
The REVIEW BOUNDARY for the disposal system is
specified by regulations in 15A NCAC 2L, Groundwater
Classifications and Standards. A REVIEW BOUNDARY is
established around disposal systems midway between the
Compliance Boundary and the, perimeter of the waste
disposal area. When the concentration of any substance
equals or exceeds the maximum allowable concentration
of that substance at the REVIEW BOUNDARY, as determined
by monitoring, the permittee shall either M
demonstrate, through predictive calculations or
modeling, that natural site conditions, facility design
and operational controls will prevent a violation of
standards at the Compliance Boundary; or, (ii) submit a
plan for the alteration of existing site conditions,
facility design or operational controls that will
prevent a violation of standards at the Compliance
Boundary, and implement that plan upon its approval by
the Director.)
4. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as
deemed necessary by the Department, shall be provided.
5. All wells that are constructed for purposes of
groundwater monitoring shall be constructed in
accordance with 15A NCAC 2C .0108 (Standards of
Construction for Wells Other than Water Supply) and any

other state and local laws and regulations pertaining
to.well construction.
6. The Fayetteville Regional Office, telephone number
[phone] shall be notified at least forty-eight
(48) hours prior to the construction of any monitoring
well so that an inspection can be made of the
monitoring well location. Such notification to the
regional groundwater supervisor -shall be made during
the normal office hours from 8:OO.a.m. until 5:00 p.m.
on Monday through Friday, excluding state holidays.
7. Within sixty (60) days of completion of. all monitoring
wells, the permittee shall submit two original copies
of a scaled topographic map (scale no greater than
1:24000) signed and sealed by a professional engineer
or a state licensed land surveyor that indicates all of
the following information:
a. the.location and identity of each monitoring well,
b. the location of the waste disposal system,
C. the location of all property boundaries,
d. the latitude and longitude of each monitoring
well,
e. the relative elevation of the,top of the well
casing (which shall be known as the_"measuring
point"), t
f. and the depth of water below the measuring point
at the time the measuring point is established.
All monitoring well locations and elevations shall be
surveyed by a state licensed land surveyor.
8. Upon completion of all well construction activities, a
certification must be received from a professional
engineer certifying that the monitoring wells are
located and constructed in accordance with the Well
Construction Standards (15A NCAC 2C) and this permit.
This certification should be submitted with copies, of
the Well Completion Form (GW-1) for each well. Mail
this certification and the associated GW-1 forms to the
Permits and Compliance Unit, Groundwater Section, P.O.

SUBJECT: B & M Meats
Subsurface Disposal System
Laurel Hill, Scotland County
The Fayetteville Regional Office (FRO) has evaluated the subject
proposal. The Groundwater staff has the following comments:
1. The drainfield will have at least 15 feet of separation between the
trench bottom and water table and should not pose a significant
threat to groundwater.
2. The main concern of the FRO Groundwater Section is the lagoon. The
integrity of the clay liner is unknown and also the separation
distance to the water table. We have estimated the separation to be
3 feet or greater, but the average water table elevation is unknown.
The Fayetteville Regional Office recommends the issuance of the permit.
The need for groundwater monitoring is questionable. We would like to see the
results of modeling from your office using a 3 foot separation distance. It
appears a drainfield or lagoon impact to groundwater could be easily monitored
from one downgradient well properly located and constructed.

Dear Mr. Btnnette:
This is in reference to your application received July 13, !992, for the construction and operation
of the subject facility.
As requested by you in a letter dated October 27, 1992, the Division is hereby returning your
application and supporting documents. No permit action has been taken with respect to the application,
however, as the application has been reviewed by Division staff, your application fee cannot be returned to
you. Mr. Nathen McCormick of the Scotland County Health Department has confirmed that B & M Meats
made an application for a permit to Scotland County for a subsurface wastewater disposal system, and that
this application process is nearly complete.
This correspondence shall also void Permit No. 4407R2 issued March 25, 1987. This facility has
been closed for some time and the permitted company disbanded, therefore, there has been no operation of
the subject facilities. It Is understood that your intentions are to obtain an appropriate permit from the
Scotland County Health Department prior to operation of any facilities at this site.
Please be advised that construction and/or operation of wastewater treatment facilities without a
valid permit is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and may subject B & M Meats to
appropriate enforcement actions in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6. Civil
penalties of up to $10,000 per day per violation may be assessed for failure to secure a permit required by
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1.

The Groundwater Section has reviewed the subject permit
request. The facility consist of a 417,500 gallon lagoon,
attached to 12 acres of spray fields designed to treat 1700 GPD.
This plant has been shut down for several years and has
opened under new management. The old permit number was 4407-R2.
There is a monitoring well on site, and we will request an annual
sample from that well.

the background monitor well exceeds 10 mg/l, this
concentration will be taken to represent the naturally
occurring TOC concentration. Any exceedances of this
naturally occurring TOC concentration in the
downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional
sampling and analysis as described above.
I
The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent
to the N.C. Division of Environmental Management on
Form GW-59 [Compliance Monitoring Report Form] every
April.
2. The Compliance Boundary for the disposal system is
specified by regulations in 15A NCAC 2L, Groundwater
Classifications and Standards.! An exceedance of
Groundwater Quality Standards beyond.the Compliance
Boundary is subject to the penalty provisions
applicable under General Statute 143-215.6(1)a. The
sale of property, by the Permittee, which is within or
contiguous to the disposal site, may alter the location
of the Compliance Boundary.
)For facilities permitted on or!after December 30, 1983,
the Compliance Boundary is established at the lesser of
250 feet from the lagoons and spray field', or"50 feet
within the property boundary.
If the title to any property which may affect the
location of.the Compliance Boundary is changed, the
Permittee shall notify the DEM Director within 14 days.
The Director shall then establish a modified Compliance
Boundary which will be done as;a modification to the
Permit.
The REVIEW BOUNDARY for the disposal system is
specified by regulations in 15IA NCAC 2L, Groundwater
Classifications and Standards.; A REVIEW BOUNDARY is
established around disposal systems midway between the
Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the waste
disposal area. When the concentration of any substance
equals or exceeds the maximum allowable concentration
of that substance at the REVIEW BOUNDARY, as determined
by monitoring, the permittee shall either (i)
demonstrate, through predictive calculations or
modeling, that natural site conditions, facility design
and operational controls willlprevent a violation of
standards"at the Compliance Boundary; or, (ii) submit a
I

plan for the alteration of existing site conditions,
facility design or operational controls that will
prevent a violation of standards -at the Compliance
Boundary, and implement that plan upon its approval by
the Director.
3. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as .
deemed necessary by the Division, shall be provided.

SUBJECT: B & M Meats� .i,,� 64r0
Spray Irrigation System
Laurel Hill, Scotland Count_.
Permit No. WQ0006950, GW92209
The Fayetteville Regional Office's Groundwater Section has completed
review of the subject permit application and has the following comments:
Soils in the application area should accept the hydraulic
loading without any problems.
2. The lagoon has a clay lining, but its condition is unknown.
3. Based on the Engineer's estimation of the waste characteris-
tics, the system should function without adverse impacts to
groundwater.
The Fayetteville Regional Office's Groundwater Section recommends the
issuance of this permit with the groundwater monitoring to be conducted at the
existing monitor well three (3) times a year. The most important parameters
to be monitored will be nitrate, chlorides, and ammonia. Background quality
can be established by sampling the supply well on site or by installation and
sampling of an upgradient monitor well.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Art Barnhardt, L.G., of
this office at [phone].
