Subject: Permit No. WQ0035749
NCDOT DGS and HOS DCAR
Distribution of Class A Residuals
Statewide
Dear Mr. Little:
In accordance with your permit renewal request received July 27, 2018, and subsequent additional
information received October 11, 2018, December 13, 2018, January 14, 2019, and February 15, 2019, we
are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0035749 dated March 1, 2019, to North Carolina Department of
Transportation for the continued operation of the subject residuals management program.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until May 31, 2024, shall void Permit No.
WQ0035749 issued June 3, 2014, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein.
Please pay particular attention to the monitoring requirements listed in Section IV for they may differ from
the previous permit issuance. Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting and maintaining the
required operational information shall result in future compliance problems.
Please note for the purposes of Permit No. WQ0035749 the Distribution of Class A Residuals
WAR) includes spreading Class A residuals directly from the grindine machine on NCDOT right-
of-way in compliance with the permit conditions therein and the requirements in 15A NCAC 02T
.1103(a)(5).
Please note the following permit conditions have been removed since the last permit issuance
dated June 3, 2014:
➢ Old Condition II.7. — This condition concerning agronomic rates has been replaced by
Condition II.7. The Old Condition was based upon nitrogen application rates, which were
deemed not appropriate because of the low nitrogen content of residuals. It is calcium
equivalent that is the basis of agronomic rates of application in the current Condition II.7.
➢ Old Conditions II1.9. and III.10. —These two conditions are replaced by Condition II1.9., which
requires that those receiving the residuals be informed that application of residuals cannot take
place as outlined in Condition III.7. or exceeding the lime equivalency provisions of Condition
II.7.

Mr. Tim M. Little, Jr., PE

In the application letter, changes were requested and here is a response to those requests:
Current Permit Condition II.4. — Pollutant Ceiling Concentration
Request: It was discussed that this condition should be removed since the Permit does not require
monitoring for any of the listed constituents.
Response: Although you are not currently required to monitor for these constituents, this condition
allows the Division to monitor as deemed necessary and provides a limit for these various constituents. In
addition, this is a requirement of 15A NCAC 02T .1105. Nevertheless, a modification is made to remove
the table while pointing out that there are limits to these constituents by referring to the regulation and
stating testing is required of the Permittee only for those constituents contained in Condition IV.2.
Current Permit Condition U.5. — Setbacks
Request: It was discussed on changing the setback distances to liquid only, since cake setbacks
currently do not apply, and having both listed is confusing to contractors utilizing the Permit.
Response: You are trying to produce cake residuals rather than so much water. For that reason, it
should remain in the permit for when you do produce cake residuals; otherwise you would have more
restrictive setbacks for all residuals.
Current Permit Condition II.7. — Agronomic Rates
Request: Request modification to the condition to more accurately reflect agronomic application
rates for lime equivalency versus plant available nitrogen (PAN) and phosphorus. Request that the
condition be changed to the following: "DGS/HOS shall not be applied in exceedance of agronomic rates
or hydraulic capacity of the soils; whichever is most limiting. Appropriate agronomic rates based on lime
equivalency shall be determined using one of the following methods:
a. The crop management plan outlined by the local Cooperative Extension Office, the Department
of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, a licensed
soil scientist, or an agronomist, and
b. If the appropriate lime application rates cannot be determined, the Permittee shall contact the
Division to determine necessary action."
Response: This is acceptable.
Current Permit Condition III.2. — Regional Office Notification
Request: It was discussed that Regional Office notification could be deleted since Class A programs
are not currently required to meet this condition.
Response: This is a borderline hazardous material because of the pH. This material was being
processed at unpermitted facilities under the previous permit. Regional offices shall be notified to prevent
a recurrence.
Mr. Tim M. Little, PE
March 1, 2019
Page 3 of 4
Current Permit Condition III.7.L — Measurable Precipitation Event
Request: It was discussed on deleting "During a measurable precipitation event (i.e., greater than
0.01 inch per hour)". Also, request that the "or within 24 hours following a rainfall event of 0.5 inches or
greater in a 24-hour period" be changed to "Land application shall not be performed during inclement
weather or when the ground is in a condition that will cause ponding or runoff', as is currently written
within surface irrigation permits based upon [15A NCAC 02T .0108(b)(1)].
Response: The wording in Condition II1.71 will be changed to directly reflect the wording in 15A
NCAC 02T . 1 109(a)(1)(F): "during precipitation events or within 24 hours following a rainfall event of 0.5
inches or greater in a 24-hour period".
Current Permit Condition II1.7.g. — Slope Restrictions
Request: It was discussed on possibly changing this condition. Request a change to allow surface
application of DGS/HOS on slopes between 10% and 18%. Possible rewrite of this condition could be "If
slopes are greater than 10%, but less than 18% surface application will be allowed if the ground surface is
scarified prior to application."
Response: The wording for the condition is taken directly from 15A NCAC 02T .1109(b)(G) and
for that reason will not be changed.
Current Permit Condition III.8. — Alternate Storage
Request: Alternate Storage is addressed in Appendix IX — Storage Options Supplement. Also add
the statement "Temporary storage at a permitted wastewater treatment facility will be allowed."
Response: As for other alternative storage, you should apply for another wastewater treatment
permit for settling and separating the solids and liquid at temporary sites. A blanket permit throughout the
state with accepted designs is a definite possibility. However, this permit is not the place to allow this.
Current Permit Condition IV.2. — pH Sampling for Each Truckload
Request: Request that additional language be added for large projects that last beyond 2 weeks: "If
a DGS or HOS land application project / event occurs for a period of time greater than 2 weeks, pH sampling
can be reduced to once weekly beginning with the 3`a week of the land application project / event."
Response: Because many of the test results show pH > 12.0 but pH < 12.5, this Condition remains
unchanged.
Mr. Tim M. Little, PE
March 1, 2019
Page 4 of 4
Current Permit Condition IV.6. — Reporting
Request: Request that records of each DGS/HOS project be submitted by contractors to NCDOT
at the completion of each DGS/HOS project in the form of a HOS/DGS Project Completion Report. These
reports will be maintained by NCDOT for five years and provided to NCDEQ immediately upon request.
Request re -write of this condition to read: "All monitoring results and records tracking as required under
Condition IV.2 and IV.5 shall be incorporated into a HOS/DGS Project Completion Report and submitted
by the contractor to NCDOT for review and approval at the completion of each DGS/HOS project. NCDOT
shall maintain a copy of each final HOS/DGS Project Completion report on file for a period of five years.
The HOS/DGS Project Completion Reports shall be made available to NCDEQ immediately upon request."
Response: See Condition IV.6. for the agreed upon language.
If any parts, requirements or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, the Permittee
has the right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within 30 days following receipt of

FORM DCAR 06-16 (ITEM D. - PROGRAM INFORMATION)
D. Program Information (Diamond Grinding Slurry)
How the materials will be handled and transported from where the
residuals were produced to where it will be treated.
Diamond Grinding Slurry (DGS) will be recovered by vacuuming during the diamond
grinding operation and contained within the grinding vehicles until transported to the
application site or will be stored within mobile storage units or approved residuals
storage facilities at or near each road project that is scheduled for diamond grinding for
processing.
How the residuals will be processed/treated (attach process flow
diagram).
No processing or treatment of the Diamond Grinding Slurry will be required.
How leachate collection will be handled.
Leachate will not be generated during the diamond grinding process or storage process.
Where the residuals will be stored until processed.
Diamond Grinding Slurry residuals will be recovered and stored within mobile storage
units or approved residuals storage facilities at or near each road project that is scheduled
for diamond grinding.
How the final product will be distributed (packaging, bulk, etc.)
The final product will be land applied to NCDOT Rights of Way or private farmland at
agronomic rates or within the project grade as soil stabilization.
What nutrients or other constituents (i.e. nitrogen, phosphorous,
aluminum, calcium, etc.) are used or recommended as the limiting
parameter for determination of residuals loading rate to ensure that it
does not overload the soil and cause contravention of surface water or
groundwater standards, limit crop growth, or adversely impact soil
quality.
One of the primary benefits of Diamond Grinding Slurry in addition to the hydraulic
loading (irrigation capacity) will be its potential to be utilized as a liming amendment to
adjust soil pH of receiver soils. With the higher pH ranges of greater than 9.0 but less
than 12.5, the potential exists for the Diamond Grinding Slurry to react with the receiver
soils and adjust soil pHs upward. Target pH of mineral soils is typically around 6.5 and
most receiver soils will be below that target due to not receiving agricultural lime on an
as needed basis. Therefore, soil pH adjustment or soil neutralizing capability will be a
potential benefit associated with the Diamond Grinding Slurry. NC State University has
conducted greenhouse studies of the Diamond Grinding Slurry and soil interaction and
data associated with pH benefits is available. The studies were performed to evaluate the
liming potential or neutralizing capability of the Diamond Grinding Slurry. Suggested
nutrient limiting factors would be the calcium carbonate equivalent (CCE) of the residual

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
N.C. Department of Transportation
Permit No. WQ0035749
DIAMOND GRINDING SLURRY &
HYDRODEMOLITION OPERATION SLURRY
Operational Functions
Hydrodemolition Operation Slurry Description and Overview
The hydrodemolition operation slurry (HOS) is generated by the hydrodemolition of concrete on
bridge decks during the deck restoration process. The hydrodemolition operation will typically
generate a range of volumes per bridge with percent solids of the unfiltered water ranging from 0.5 to
10 percent. The hydrodemolition operation will typically generate a range of approximately 10,000 tc
50,000 gallons of HOS per bridge. The hydrodemolition process shall be managed, monitored,
collected, and properly disposed of as a portion of the bridge deck restoration process. Many
variables will determine the quantity, such as hydrodemolition contractor process, size of bridge
deck, total depth of concrete to be removed, etc. The generated water and solids (slurry) is stable and
contains a high calcium value for application as a lime amendment.
Diamond Grinding Slurry Description and Overview
The diamond grinding slurry (DGS) is generated by diamond grinding of concrete pavement which
generates a slurry material consisting of water and pulverized concrete. This material is collected in
trucks through a vacuum system concurrent with the grinding process. The generated slurry is stable
and also contains a high calcium value for application as a lime amendment. The diamond grinding
process shall be managed, monitored, collected, and properly disposed of. The diamond grinding of
concrete will generate a wide range of slurry volume per project. Many variables will determine the
quantity, such as contractor performing the diamond grinding, length of roadway, etc.
The HOS and DGS shall be collected, hauled, and discharged in accordance with local, state, and
federal regulations. The HOS and DGS will not be allowed to enter storm sewers, bridge drainage
downspouts or bridge approach downspouts, ditches, surface waters, floodplains or wetlands. The
HOS and DGS will be monitored to confirm its compliance with conditions in Non -Discharge Permit
No. WQ0035749 to include:
Calcium Carbonate Equivalence (CCE)
Percent Total Solids
Qs
When land application of HOS is not a feasible option, the primary method of disposal will be to
transport the HOS to a local publicly owned treatment works (POTW) or a licensed treatment or
disposal facility. When land application of DGS is not a feasible option, other methods of disposal
will be determined such as transport of the liquid portion to a local publicly owned treatment works
(POTW) or a licensed treatment or disposal facility and disposal of the solid portion in an approved
solid waste disposal facility.
II. Maintenance Schedules
Maintenance will be the responsibility of the Contractor performing the hydrodemolition or diamond
grinding operations. In addition, subcontractors must have a current Land Application of Residuals
"Operator in Responsible Charge" (ORC) as certified by the North Carolina Water Pollution Control
System Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC).
III. Safety Measures
Safety plans and training will be the responsibility of the Contractor performing the hydrodemolition
or diamond grinding operations. All subcontractors will be required to comply with safety plans and
training as applicable to the Contractor's performing the hydrodemolition or diamond grinding
operations. NCDOT recognizes that the safety of employees and contractors is paramount to the
maintenance and construction of the state transportation system. Therefore, NCDOT recognizes no
boundaries in the development and implementation of a world class safety and health program that
will protect their employees, contractors and the traveling public. The NCDOT Safety Philosophy is
as follows:
• All accidents and injuries can be prevented.
• Management/supervisors are responsible, and will be held accountable, for preventing
injuries and occupational illnesses.
• Occupational safety and health is part of every employee's total job performance.
• Working safely is a condition of employment.
• All workplace hazards can be safeguarded.
• Training employees to work safely is essential and is the responsibility of
management/supervision.
• Prevention of personal injuries and accidents is good business.
IV Spill Response Plan
Includes the following:
Spill Control Plan (Attached, see Appendix VII),
Spill Prevention Plan (Attached, see Appendix VII),
Spill Control, Containment and Cleanup Plan (Attached, see Appendix VII).

Hydrodemolition Operation Slurry (HOS) is generated by the hydrodemolition of concrete on bridge
decks during the deck restoration process. The hydrodemolition operation will typically generate a range of
volumes per bridge with percent solids of the unfiltered water ranging from 0.5 to 10 percent. The generated
water and solids (slurry) is stable and contains a high calcium value for application as a lime amendment.
Diamond Grinding Slurry (DGS) is generated by diamond grinding of concrete pavement which generates
a slurry material consisting of water and pulverized concrete. This material is collected in trucks through a
vacuum system concurrent with the grinding process. The generated slurry is stable and also contains a high
calcium value for application as a lime amendment. Both products are permitted by the Division of Water
Quality (Permit WQ0035749) for distribution and land application. This agreement is to allow the
distribution and land application of HOS and/or DGS onto properties whose owner is herein giving written
consent for the responsible application of this resource.
INSTRUCTIONS TO THE APPLICANT:
A. Prepare a separate utilization agreement form for each landowner other than the applicant.
✓ A copy of the completed and appropriately executed utilization agreement form must be provided to the
landowner and the lessee/operator (if applicable).

Diamond Grinding Slurry (DGS) is generated by diamond grinding of concrete pavement which
generates a slurry material consisting of water and pulverized concrete. This material is collected in
trucks through a vacuum system concurrent with the grinding process.
Hydrodemolition Operation Slurry (HOS) is generated by the hydrodemolition of concrete on
bridge decks during the deck restoration process. The hydrodemolition operation will typically
generate a range of volume per bridge with percent solids of the unfiltered water ranging from 0.5 to
10 percent.
DGS/HOS is permitted for land application to private farmland and NC DOT right -of ways.
The generated water and solids (slurry) is stable and contain a high calcium value for application as a
lime amendment.
Provisions for Application
Application of DGS/HOS is prohibited except in accordance with the provisions specified in the
Application Information Sheet. Application must conform to standards identified in Permit

• SPILL CONTROL PLAN
HYDRODEMOLITION OPERATION SL URRY
DIAMOND GRINDING SLURRY
SPILL CONTROL PLAN
FOR PERMIT WQ0035749
THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS MUST BE TAKEN IN THE EVENT OF A SPILL:
1. Halt the source of the spill: Ruptured line or valve, or damaged tank unit.
2. Contain spill: Use straw bales to form a barrier. Straw or hay bales can be obtained
from several sources for this purpose. Soil near the site can also be used to form a barrier
for containment.
3. Clean up: Use land application equipment to recover as much of the Hydrodemolition
Operation Slurry (HOS) or Diamond Grinding Slurry (DGS) as possible. After the
application equipment has recovered as much HOS as possible, it will be land applied as
per the management plan. A temporary sump pit may be dug in the containment area to
enhance recovery.
4. Notification: As soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours or on the next
working day following the occurrence, after a spill occurs notify:
• NC DOT: Resident Engineer and Division Environmental Officer
• NC Department of Environmental Quality
Division of Water Quality Regional Office
❖ Asheville Regional Office (828) 296-4500
❖ Fayetteville Regional Office (910) 433-3300
❖ Mooresville Regional Office (704) 663-1699
❖ Raleigh Regional Office (919) 791-4200
❖ Washington Regional Office (252) 946-6481
❖ Wilmington Regional Office (910) 796-7215
❖ Winston-Salem Regional Office (336) 771-5000
❖ Outside of normal business hours, call the emergency hot line: 1-800-858-0368
• Fire Department if assistance is required for wash down
5. Management of clean up efforts: The responsible party for land application shall take
immediate charge of the clean up activities. Additional labor will be requested as
needed.
6. Reporting: Within 24 hours of a spill the responsible parry for land application shall
present a written report detailing the cause of the spill and all action taken in response to
the spill.
SPILL PREVENTION PLAN
The spill prevention plan requires that all equipment used to transport HOS or DGS be subject to
periodic safety inspections. Tires, brakes, lights, and turn signals will be inspected for proper
working order. Each truck will be equipped with safety flares and appropriate signs to be used in
the event of a breakdown. Any deficiencies observed during the safety inspections will result in the
vehicle being removed from service and the responsible party for land application will be notified
so that these deficiencies can be corrected and documented.
Routes leading from the storage point to the land application sites will be inspected for road
hazards. The road hazards will be documented and the drivers will be informed of the hazards.
Alternate routes will be investigated and routes which minimize road hazards will be selected.
Hazardous situations resulting from rush-hour traffic will be avoided during hauling.
Drivers and management personnel associated with the hauling of HOS or DGS will be instructed
in the spill prevention plan and will be required to attend training sessions. Drivers will be trained
in defensive driving techniques in order to minimize road hazards. A driver who observes a road
hazard will be required to report the hazard to the field superintendent who, in turn, will warn other
drivers. As part of the spill prevention plan, drivers will be required to inspect the safety equipment
of their vehicles on a daily basis. Any deficiency in safety equipment will be noted for corrective
action. Drivers will be trained in the procedures to be taken in the event of a spill that occurs
during the hauling of HOS or DGS. These procedures are discussed in the spill control,
containment, and cleanup plan.
SPILL CONTROL, CONTAINMENT, AND CLEANUP PLAN
Spills that occur during loading or unloading HOS or DGS will occur at the generation point and
the land application sites, respectively. These spills will not involve an environmental hazard or an
over the road hazard and, therefore, will be handled using the equipment that will be available at
either site. Spills that occur over -the -road will be subject to the contingencies contained in the spill
control, containment, and cleanup plan. The equipment used in the spill control, containment, and
cleanup consists of the following:
Vacuum pump, pump truck or tanker truck. A vacuum truck, vacuum pump or tanker truck
will be used to assist with clean up of HOS or DGS spills.
2. Outside equipment if required
The following personnel will be involved in the spill control, containment, and cleanup.
The responsible party for land application will respond to the spill site and make an assessment
of the spill and determine the containment procedures to be initiated and the equipment to be
used to clean up the spill.
2. The responsible party for land application will be responsible for the direction of the cleanup
team.
In the event of a spill, the driver of the truck or application vehicle, if he has not sustained a
debilitating injury, will call the responsible party for land application and report the spill. The
responsible party for land application will notify the appropriate authorities and will also notify the
appropriate DWQ Regional Office. The driver will set up safety flares and signs to warn motorists
of the hazard. The responsible party for land application will mobilize the necessary equipment and
personnel to the site, and will initiate the containment procedures. When the cleanup team arrives
at the site, the site will be cleaned up according to the contingency plan. HOS or DGS cleaned up
from the site will be transported to the land application sites where it will be applied in accordance
with the permit. In the event that the driver is incapacitated due to personal injury, the responsible
parry for land application will mobilize the cleanup team as soon as the authorities notification of
an incident.
