The Permittee shall report by telephone to the Raleigh Regional Office, telephone number
(919) 571-4700 as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours or on the next
working day following the occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the
following:
a. Any occurrence with the land application program which results in the land
application of significant amounts of wastes which are abnormal in quantity or
characteristic.
b. Any failure of the land application program resulting in a release of sludge material
to receiving waters.
c. Any time that self-monitoring information indicates that the facility has gone out of
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 sludge to the
application site.
Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in letter
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.

The five (5) existing monitoring wells, MW -1, MW -2 and MW -3 located at the Bouldin
Property and MW -4 and MW -5 located at the Harward farm shall be sampled every
February, June and October for the following parameters:
NO3 SO4
NO2 pH
Total Ammonia TOC
Total Dissolved Solids Lead
Fecal Coliforms Total Suspended Solids
Cadmium Chloride
Volatile Organic Compounds - In October only (by Method 1 or Method 2 below)
Method 1: Method 6230D (Capillary - Column), "Standard Methods for the Examination
of Water and Wastewater", 17th edition, 1989
Method 2. Method 502.2 "Methods for the Determination of Organic Compounds in
Drinking Water", United States Environmental. Protection Agency - 600/4-
88/039.
The measurement of water level must be made prior to sampling for the remaining
parameters. The depth of water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on
the top of the casing.
The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to
provide relative elevations of the measuring point for each monitoring well.
If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/1 are detected in any downgradient monitoring
well, additional sampling and analysis must be conducted to identify the individual
constituents comprising this TOC concentration. If the TOC concentration as measured in
the background monitor well exceeds 10 mg/l, this concentration will be taken to represent
the naturally occurring TOC concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring
TOC concentration in the downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling
and analysis as described above.
If any volatile organic compounds are detected by method 6230D, or the equivalent method
502.2, then EPA methods 604 and 611 must also be run to detect other organic compounds
which may be present. The results of all analysis specified in the monitoring requirements,
including 604 and 611 if required, must be submitted simultaneously.
The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent to the N.C. Division of
Environmental Management P. 0. Box 29535 Raleigh, N.C. 27626-0535 on Form GW -59
(Compliance Monitoring Report Form) every March, July and November.
2. The Compliance Boundary for the disposal system is specified by regulations in 15A
NCAC 2L, Classifications and Water Quality Standards applicable to the groundwater of
North Carolina. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards beyond the Compliance
Boundary is subject to penalty provisions applicable under General Statute 143-215.6(1)a.
The sale of property, by the Permittee, which is within or contiguous to the disposal
system site may alter location of the Compliance Boundary.
For application sites permitted on or after December 30, 1983, the Compliance Boundary is
established at the lesser of 250 feet from the perimeter of the waste disposal areas, or 50
feet within the property boundary.
8
If the title to any property which may affect the location of the Compliance Boundary is
changed, the permittee shall notify the Division Director within 1.4 days. The Director shall
then establish a modified Compliance Boundary which will be done as a modification to the
Permit.
The REVIEW BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specked by regulations in 15A
NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. A REVIEW BOUNDARY is
established around disposal systems midway between the Compliance Boundary and the
perimeter of the waste disposal area. When the concentration of any substance equals or
exceeds the maximum allowable concentration of that substance at the REVIEW
BOUNDARY, as determined by monitoring, the permittee shall giffigr (i) demonstrate,
through predictive calculations or modeling, that natural site conditions, facility design and
operational controls will prevent a violation of standards at the Compliance Boundary; Q,
(ii) submit a plan for the alteration of existing site conditions, facility design or operational
controls that will prevent a violation of standards at the Compliance Boundary, and
implement that plan upon its approval by the Director.
3. No land application of waste activities shall be undertaken when the seasonal high water
table is less than three feet below land surface.
4. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring as deemed necessary by the Division of
Environmental Management shall be provided.
The Permittee or his designee shall inspect the sludge storage, transport, and disposal
facilities to prevent malfunctions and deterioration, operator errors and discharges which
may cause or lead to the release of wastes to the environment, a threat to human health, or a
nuisance. The Permittee shall keep an inspection log or summary including at least the date
and time of inspection, observations made, and any maintenance, repairs, or corrective
actions taken by the Permittee. This log of inspections shall be maintained by the Permittee
for a period of three years from the date of the inspection and shall be made available upon
request by the Division of Environmental Management or other permitting authority.
2. Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the Division of Environmental
Management may, upon presentation of credentials, enter and 'inspect any property,

* Prior to land application of sludge from any other source than the Town of Cary, a
complete soils analyses must be submitted to the Division and approval granted for the
application of other sludge sources.
a Please be advised that the land lying south of the unnamed tributary to Shaddox Creek
(approximately 33.0 acres) is unsuitable for the land application of sludge due to
floodplain, slope, and soil concerns; therefore, only 65.0 acres of the originally
requested 98.0 acres is suitable for the land application of sludge.
b The cross -hatched areas of these fields shown on the attached map shall not be used for
sludge application due to shallow depth to bedrock (<12 inches) and sandy soils.
c The fields that are not cross -hatched shall be limited to sludge application only during
the months of April through October, inclusive.
d Sludges may not be applied to the areas of these fields that have soils designated as
"1C" and "4" due to streams, shallow soils, steep slopes, and shallow depth to
bedrock.
e These fields are covered in part by soils having a seasonal high water table at depths
from 1 to 2 feet below land surface. Therefore, no sludge shall be applied to these
fields during the period November through March, inclusive.
7. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this permit may subject the
Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division of Environmental Management in
accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A to 143-215.6C.
8. The annual administering and compliance fee must be paid by the Permittee within thirty
(30) days after being billed by the Division. Failure to pay the fee accordingly may cause
the Division to initiate action to revoke this permit as specified by 15 NCAC 2H .0205
(c)(4).
9. The issuance of this permit does not preclude the Permittee from complying with any and
all statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances which may be imposed by other government
agencies (local, state, and federal) which have jurisdiction.
10. A set of approved documents for the subject project must be retained by the applicant for
the life of the permit.
11. The Pertnittee, at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of this permit, shall request its
extension.. Upon receipt of the request, the Commission will review the adequacy of the
facilities described therein, and if warranted, will extend the permit for such period of time
and under such conditions and limitations as it may deem appropriate.
12. This permit may be modified, or revoked and reissued to incorporate any conditions,
limitations and monitoring requirements the Division of Environmental Management deems
necessary in order to adequately protect the environment and public health.
