FOR THE
construction and operation of a petroleum contaminated soils disposal operation consisting of a
treatment area of 4,000 sf and a final disposal area of approximately 2.0 acres to serve Petroleum
Equipment and Service, Incorporated with no discharge of wastes to the surface waters, pursuant
to the application received January 22, 1990 and in conformity with the project plan,
specifications, and other supporting data subsequently filed and approved by the Department of
Environment, Health and Natural Resources and considered a part of this permit.

subject to the following specified conditions and limitations:

The Mooresville Regional Office, phone no. [phone], shall be notified at least
twenty-four (24) hours after land application of the contaminated soil so that an
inspection can be made. Such notification to the regional supervisor shall be made
during the normal office hours from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Monday through
Friday, excluding State Holidays.
2. This permit shall become voidable if the soils fail to adequately assimilate the wastes
and may be rescinded unless the facilities are installed, maintained, and operated in a
manner which will protect the assigned water quality standards of the surface waters
and ground waters.
3. In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of
nuisance conditions, the Pens-nittee shall take immediate corrective action, including
those as may be required by this Division, such as the construction of additional or
replacement treatment or disposal facilities.
4. 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.

5. The following buffers shall be maintained:
of 100 feet between disposal area and any public or pnvate water :;:nn;:
wells
y 100 fee. nenveen disposal area and 'SA and SB'
5%O feet between disposal area and any stream. lake. r zr or natura. u-

_ Cj feet between disposal area and surface water iniercemo- dry::::_
:NsloDe
:eet between aisposai area ana surface water
aO Vnsiope, and groundwater drainage systems.
.Ni.- , ont3minated soil other than that from Petrc,ic..--
Incorporated shall be placed on the land disposal site.
71. QPERATION .AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
1 . The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
The Permittee shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator to be in
responsible charge of the wastewater treatment facilities. The operator must hold a
certificate of the grade at least equivalent to the classification assigned tr me
wastewater treatment facilities by the Certification Commission_
3. Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent surface runoff from carrying any
disposed material into any surface waters.
4. 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.
5. The 25 cubic yards of contaminated soil shall treated in layers, not to exceed 10 in.
6. The site shall be adequately limed to a soil pH of at least 6.5 and fertilized prior to
disposal of the contaminated soil. The contaminated soil, fertilizer and lime shall be
thoroughly incorporated into the top six to eight inches of the native soils by tilling or
disking.
7. To ensure that sufficient oxygen is provided for waste biodegradation, the site shall be
retilled at periods of one month, two months, and every six months thereafter
following disposal.
8. No food -chain crops shall be grown on the landfarming sites for at least two years
following the completion of contaminated soil application and remediation.
9. Nutrients, in the form of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers, must be applied over the
disposal area and fully incorporated into the mixed contaminated and native soil layer.
To provide maximum benefits, fertilization should occur no sooner than 5 days nor
later than 30 days subsequent to disposal. The optimum quantity of nitrogen and
phosphorus required for microbial degradation is related to the organic carbon content
of the soil -waste mixture. The optimum organic carbon-nitrogen/phosphorus ratio for
waste degradation is 60/1/0.75.
10. The holding areas containing petroleum contaminated soils shall be covered with
plastic sheeting having a minimum thickness of 10 millimeters during precipitation
events.

six months and twelve months thereafter following disposal.
Each sample will be composed of the vertical column of soil, extending from land
surfaces to the maximum depth of waste incorporation, and collected by using a soil
auger, Shelby tube or split -spoon sampler.
Samples at each location will be thoroughly mixed and a representative portion
analyzed, (by methods specified in Guidelines for Remediation of Soil Contaminated
by Petroleum available from the Division of Environmental Management) to determine
the concentration of (1) Petroleum Fuel Hydrocarbons (Method 3550) and any (2)
