Lewis Farms & Liquid Waste Removers
Land Application of Residuals
Pender County
Dear Mr. Lewis:
In accordance with your amendment request received on April 4, 1997, we are forwarding
herewith Permit No. WQ0000455 as amended, dated June 23, 1997, to Lewis Farms & Liquid Waste
Removers for the continued operation of a wastewater residuals land application program. This permit is
being amended to incorporate three (3) additional sources into the existing land application program:
Corning Inc., Dolphin Bay WWTP, and A -I Cleaners Inc. Also, 20 additional acres of land application
sites located in Pender County have been incorporated into the existing land application program.
Please be advised of footnote "c" of Condition No. VI 4 which states that the J.J. Smith acreage
shall be required to maintain the following: "Because this land application site is used for grazing cattle it
shall receive residuals at 50% the agronomic rate listed in Condition H 4. Also, additional fencing may be
needed on the site to allow the rotation of residuals usage and cattle grazing."
Prior to land applying the residuals from the Sherwood Mobile Home Park, a residuals analysis as
required in Condition III 4 and a TCLP analysis as required in Condition 1115, shall be submitted to the
Division for review. This facility is being approved because it was stated in the submitted application that
this is a new facility which has not yet begun operation.
Please note that all the wastewater residuals contained in this permit must meet the 40 CFR Part
503 Regulations, including stabilization and vector attraction requirements. It is understood Lewis Farms
& Liquid Waste Removers will use the lime stabilization methods, to meet both vector attraction and
pathogen reduction requirements. However, if it is determined that the use of an injection method is
preferred to meet vector attraction reduction requirements there shall not be damage to any cover crop on
the application site as a result of this type of operation.
It is noted a new hog farm adjacent to the application site includes some application site acreage,
used for hog lagoon spraying. It is understood the few acres to be used by the hog farm will be turned
over when hog lagoon spraying becomes necessary, in about a year. Lewis Farms is encouraged to do a
full close out of the effected acres for it's own protection. This should include complete soils analysis of
the acres to establish a clear picture of the soils before it becomes a hog spray site.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until November 30, 1998, shall void Permit
No. WQ0000455 issued November 8, 1996, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as
specified therein. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring and reporting requirements contained in
this permit. Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required operational
information will result in future compliance problems.
