operation of a contaminated soils remediation system consisting of disposing of approximately 1,204 cubic
yards of petroleum contaminated soil from a site located at the corner of Dickson Avenue and Memorial
Drive in Greenville, North Carolina to an approximate 30 acres located at the intersection of NC 1529 and
US 264 bypass in Pitt County with no discharge of wastes to the surface waters, pursuant to the
application received January 4, 1991 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.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until December 31, 1993, and shall be
subject to the. following specified conditions and limitations:
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1, The Washington Regional Office, phone no. [phone], shall be notified within
twenty-four (24) hours, or during the next work day 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 5:00 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may be rescinded unless the facilities are installed, maintained, and operated in a manner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 Permittee 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:
a) 100 feet between disposal area and any public or private water supply including
wells
b) 100 feet between disposal area and "SA and SB" classified surface waters
C) 50 feet between disposal area and any stream, lake, river or natural drainageway
d) 50 feet between disposal area and property lines
C) 10 feet between disposal area and surface water interceptor drains or diversions
(upslope)
f) 25 feet between disposal area and surface water interceptor drains or diversions
(downslope) and groundwater drainage systems.
6. No contaminated soil other than that from the corner of Dickson Avenue and Memorial
Drive in Greenville, North Carolina shall be placed on the land disposal site.
IL PERATI A D MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. Upon classification of the facility by the Certification Commission, 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 type and grade at
least equivalent to the classification assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities by the
Certification Commission.

material into any surface waters.
4. The 1,204 cubic yards of contaminated soil shall be spread to a thickness not to exceed 3.0
inches on at least 2.9 acres of land at the disposal site.
5. 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.
6. The site shall be adequately limed to a soil pH of at least 6.5 prior to disposal of the
contaminated soil. The contaminated soil and lime shall be thoroughly incorporated into the
top six to eight inches of the native soils by rototilling 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 15 days nor later than
30 days subsequent to disposal.
Rate of fertilizer application should be the lesser of the following:
a) For nitrogen, the tolerance level of the vegetative crop, as determined by a
knowledgeable party, or 75-100 pounds per acre plant available nitrogen (PAN).
2

b) For phosphorus, the tolerance level of the vegetative crop, as determined by a
knowledgeable party, or 50-75 pounds per acre P205 (or equivalent).
10. All foreign debris shall be removed from the petroleum contaminated soil prior to land
application and at no time shall foreign debris be land applied with the petroleum
contaminated soils.

1. Any monitoring deemed necessary by the Division of Environmental Management to insure
surface and ground water protection will be established and an acceptable sampling
reporting schedule shall be followed.
2. Noncompliance Notification:

application of significant amounts of wastes which are abnormal in quantity or
characteristic.
b. Any failure of the land application program resulting in a discharge of wastes to
receiving waters.
C. Any time that self-monitoring information indicates that the facility is not in
compliance with the conditions and limitations of this permit or the parameters on
which the system was designed.
d. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that render the facility
incapable of adequate sludge treatment.
e. Any spillage or discharge from a vehicle or piping system transporting

form within 15 days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report must outline
the actions taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem does not recur.
3. Total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) analyses of applied soils (one composite sample
representative of each application area) shall be performed every three months until the level
of contamination is reduced to below 10 ppm.

IV. GROUNDWATER ATER RE IREME T
Prior to beginning land disposal operations the permittee must place flags to mark the
unsuitable areas of the site (those areas comprised of Coxville and Bladen Series soils).
No portionpf the

Coxville or Bladen Series soil The permittee shall notify the Washington Regional Office
seven (7) days in advance of initiation of land disposal operations in order that a field office
representative may be. present on the site.
2. To provide the extra oxygen for waste biodegradation to proceed, the site must be retilled at
periods of 1 month, 2 months and b months following disposal.
Soil samples will be collected, from a minimum of two (2) areas at the disposal site, at
intervals of six months and twelve months 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 Sail Contaminated By Petroleum
available form the Division of Environmental Management) to determine the concentration
of. (i) Petroleum Fuel Hydrocarbons; and, (ii) any Volatile Organic Aromatic (VOA)
compounds present. THE SAMPLES TAKEN AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS SHALL
NOT BE M1 D TOGETHER TO GENERATE A SITE - WIDE COMPOSITE SAMPLE.
A copy of the laboratory results of the soil analysis will be submitted to the Washington
Regional Office, to the attention of the Regional Hydrogeological Supervisor, within 30
