Dear Mr. Woodall:
In accordance with the request of the property owners Virginia S. Currin and Billy R. Currin, we
are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0000506 as amended, dated January 27, 1997, to Wallace
Woodall Vacuum Pumping, Inc. for the continued operation of a land application of residuals program.
This permit is being administratively amended to delete the following previously approved land
application sites from the subject permit as requested by the land owner:

The deletion of these fields will reduce the total available land application acres from 699.1 acres to
669.1 acres. No further changes have occurred to the existing permit conditions.
Your request to allow on-site native soils for the three new lagoon liners instead of synthetic liner
material has been approved. Please review Groundwater Condition IV 1.
The Groundwater Section can not approve your request to delete the groundwater monitoring at the
Charles Bouldin site in Chatham County because the data from the three (3) monitoring wells have shown
elevated concentrations and some exceedances of the 2L Standards for some of the required parameters.
The groundwater monitoring shall continue, however, Nitrite and Total Suspended Solids have been
omitted from the sampling schedule.
Please be advised, the stabilization requirements must be met prior to the land application of the
wastewater residuals. If the wastewater residuals are stabilized prior to going into the storage lagoons, the
residuals must be retested to verify that no pathogen regrowth has wcurred or be restabilized. Also be
advised that municipal and industrial waste residuals shall be applied to specific designated fields.

Bouldin site in Chatham County (as depicted on Attachment A) shall be sampled every
February, June and October for the following parameters.
Fecal Coliforms Ammonia Nitrogen
Chloride Water Level
TDS pH
TOC NO3
Lead SO4
Cadmium
Volatile Organic Compounds - In October only by Method 6230D
Method 6230D (Capillary - Column), "Standard Methods for the Examination of
Water and Wastewater", 17th edition, 1989
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.
D

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 TQC 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 the Raleigh Regional Office Groundwater Supervisor, telephone number (919)
571-4700, must be contacted immediately for further instructions regarding any additional
follow-up analyses required. The results of all initial and follow-up analyses must be
submitted simultaneously.
The results of the sampling and analysis shall be received on Form GW -59 (Compliance
Monitoring Report Form) by the Groundwater Section, Permits and Compliance Unit, Post
Office Box 29578 Raleigh, N.C. 27578 on or before the last working day of the month
following the sampling month.
3. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified by regulations in
15A NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. The Compliance Boundary is
for the disposal system constructed after December 31, 1983 is established at either (1) 250
feet from the waste disposal area, or (2) 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is
closest to the waste disposal area. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or
beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to immediate remediation action in addition to
the penalty provisions applicable under General Statute 143-215.6A(a)(1).
In accordance with 15A NCAC 2L, a REVIEW BOUNDARY is established around the
disposal systems midway between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the
waste disposal area. Any exceedance of standards at the Review Boundary shall require
remediation action on the part of the permittee.
4. Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be
provided.
5. No land application of waste activities shall be undertaken when the seasonal high water
table is Iess than three feet below land surface.
V. INSPECTIONS
1. The Permittee or his designee shall inspect the residuals storage, transport, and application
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 maintain 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 five years from the date of the inspection and shall be made available to the
Division of Water Quality or other permitting authority, upon request.

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 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.
