Inspection Summary:
The inspection consisted of a review of the 2017 Annual Report. The inspection was conducted by Beverly Price of the
Asheville Regional Office.
138 dry tons of residuals were distributed to the public in 2017. 46 dry tons were landfilled in the Santek Environmental
Landfill in Haywood County in 2017. The permit distribution limit is 300 dry tons per year.
Monitoring frequencies for Metals/Nutrients/Pathogen & Vector Attraction Reduction (VAR) are based on the actual dry tons
distributed per year. Based on the 2017 tonnage, annual monitoring was required. TCLP monitoring is required annually.
The metals data appeared to be compliant with Ceiling and Monthly Average Concentrations. TCLP data appeared to be
compliant with permit limits. All required parameters were analyzed. Pathogen reduction is verified using Fecal Coliform
Density and Alternative B – Alkaline Treatment. Vector Attraction Reduction (VAR) is met when Alternative B is met as the
pH requirement for Alternative B exceeds the pH requirement of Option 6 for VAR.
The pH time frame requirement for Alternative B is 72 consecutive hours.
The Pathogen and Vector Attraction Reduction Form (PVRF 02T Rules) should be used for the Annual Report. A copy will
be emailed to the permittee.
