Dear Mr. Smith:
In accordance with your completed modification request received on July 7, 2000 as well as the additional
information received February 9, 2001; April 11, 2001; May 11, 2001; and May 15, 2001; we are forwarding
herewith Permit No. WQ0000838, dated June 5, 2001, to Granville Farms, Inc. for the operation of a wastewater
residuals land application program.
This permit is being modified to add seven new package plants ( Arbor Hull, Cedar Village Apts, Days inn,
Tradewinds, Crooked Creek Plaza, and Neuse Colony ) with 39 dry tons of residuals. These package plants are
currently under the Woodall Vacuum Pumping Services permit (WQ0000506). The residuals from these facilities
shall only be applied to the sites set aside for package plants in Condition 11.2.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until February 28, 2004, shall void Permit No.
WQ0000838, which was issued on March 30, 2001, 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. Also, you must ensure that Che requirements relating to pathogen
and vector attraction reduction (Condition 1.11) and sodium adsorption ration, SAR (Condition 11.23) of this
permit are met.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the right to
request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within 30 days following receipt of this permit. This request
must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and

other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
Granville Farms, Inc.
Granville County
FOR THE
continued operation of a wastewater residuals land application program consisting of the application of up to 3007
dry tons per year of residuals from the sources listed in Condition 11.2, to approximately 4205.3 acres of land in
Granville, Franklin, Person, Warren, Johnston, and Wake Counties, with no discharge of wastes to the surface
waters, pursuant to the completed request received on July 7, 2000 as well as the additional information received
February 9, 2001; April 11, 2001; May 11, 2001; and May 15, 2001; and in conformity with the project plan,
specifications, and other supporting data subsequently filed and approved by the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources and considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until February 28, 2004, shall void Permit No.
WQ0000838, which was on issued March 30, 2001; and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and
limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. The Raleigh Regional Office, telephone number [phone], and the appropriate local
governmental official (i.e. county manager/city manager) shall be notified at least 24 hours prior to the
initial application of the residuals to a site so that an inspection can be made of the application sites and
application method. 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. In addition,
the appropriate County Manager's office must be notified prior to the initial application so that they will
be aware that the operation has commenced.
2. This permit shall become voidable if the soils fail to adequately assimilate the wastes and may be
rescinded unless the sites are maintained and operated in a manner which will protect the assigned
water quality standards of the surface waters and ground waters.
3. The land application program shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to
prevent the discharge of any wastes resulting from the operation of this program.
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 program.

5. In the event that the Iand application program is not operated satisfactorily, including the creation of
nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall cease applying residuals to the sites and take any immediate
corrective actions as may be required by the Division of Water Quality (Division).
6. Some of the buffers specified below may not have been included in previous permits for this land
application operation. However, any sites or fields that are included in this permit, but were approved
with different applicable buffers shall be reflagged to comply with the below buffers. The following
buffer zones shall be maintained:
a) 400 feet from residences or places of public assembly under separate ownership for surface
application method; however, the buffer zone requirement may be reduced to a minimum of 100
feet upon written consent of the owner and approval from the appropriate regional office,
b) 200 feet from residences or places of public assembly under separate ownership for subsurface
residual injection method; however, the buffer zone requirement may be reduced to a minimum of
100 feet upon written consent of the owner and the appropriate regional office,
c) 100 feet from any public or private water supply source, waters classified as SA or SB, and any
Class I or Class II impounded reservoir used as a source of drinking water for both methods,
d) 100 feet from any streams classified as WS or B, any other stream, canal, marsh or coastal waters
and any other lake or impoundment for surface application,
e) 50 feet from any streams classified as WS or B, any other stream, canal, marsh or coastal waters
and any other lake or impoundment for subsurface application,
f) 50 feet from property lines for both surface and subsurface application methods;
g) 50 feet from public right of ways for both application methods,
h) 10 feet from upslope interceptor drains and surface water diversions for both application methods,
i) 25 feet from downslope interceptor drains, surface water diversions, groundwater drainage systems
and surface drainage ditches for both application methods.
A copy of this permit shall be maintained at the land application site when residuals are being applied
during the life of this permit. A spill prevention and control plan shall be maintained in all residuals
transport and application vehicles.
Specific residual application area boundaries shall be clearly marked on each site prior to and during
application.
9. No residuals at any time shall be stored at any application site, unless approval has been requested and
obtained from the Division.
10. Maximum slope for residual application shall be 10% for surface application and 18% for subsurface
applications,
11. When wastewater residuals are applied, the Class A pathogen requirements and site restrictions in 40
CFR Part 503.32(a) or the Class B pathogen requirements and site restrictions in 40 CFR Part
503.32(b), and one of the vector attraction reduction requirements in 40 CFR Part 503.33 shall be met.
Additionally, an evaluation must be performed which demonstrates the residuals ability to comply with
this requirement. Upon request, a copy of this evaluation must be submitted including all test results
and calculations. The following water treatment facilities are exempt from this condition because there
is no domestic contribution present in the residuals:
Creedmoor WTP(NC0007625), John Umstead Hospital WTP (NC0058416), Kerr Lake Regional Water
Treatment System (NC0083101), G.G. Hill Water Purification Plant (NC0007528)

II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The facilities and application sites shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. No residuals other than the following are hereby approved for land application in accordance with this

• Total volume permitted in this issuance is 3, 007 dry tons of which 2, 622 dry tons of residuals are from the
WWTPs and 385 dry tons are from the package Plants listed above.
• Sites receiving water treatment plant residuals must also receive wastewater treatment plant residuals during
the same crop season to supplement phosphorus.
• A total of 60 dry tons per year will be land applied from the eight (8) Heater Utilities, Inc. Package Plants.
• A total of 19 dry tons per year will be land applied from the "other" Package Plants currently operated by Don
Maynor.
• The following land application sites are partially covered in soils having a seasonal high water
table at depths ranging from zero to three feet below land surface. No residuals shall be applied to
these fields during the period from November through April, inclusive, unless augering on the site
verifies that the apparent water table is greater than three feet below land surface. The sites are
Fields 375-1, 375-2, 557-1, 557-2, 557-3, 557-4, 557-5, 2009-4 and the Butner Sites.
A suitable vegetative cover, as listed in condition H.5, shall be maintained in accordance with the crop
management plan outlined by the local Extension Office, the Department of Agriculture, the Natural
Resource Conservation Service, or other agronomist, and approved by this Division.
4. An acceptable pH must be maintained in the soil, residual, and lime mixture, greater than 6.0, on all
land application sites to insure optimum yield for the crop(s) specified below. The agronomist shall
provide information on the pH best suited for the specified crop and the soil type.

If the approved land application sites are to be double cropped (i.e., a crop in the spring and a second
crop in the fall, with BOTH crops to receive wastewater residuals), then the second crop shall receive
an application of nutrients at a rate of no greater than 50 lbs/acre/yr. This practice will be allowed as
long as the second crop is to be harvested. If the second crop is to be planted for erosion control only,
and is to be tilled into the soil, then no wastewater residuals shall be applied to these fields because the
nitrogen will essentially be returned to the soil.

residuals into any surface waters.
I0. Surface applied residuals will be plowed or disced within 24 hours after application on lands with no
cover crop established.
11. For areas that are prone to flooding or within the 100 -year flood elevation, residuals may be applied
only during periods of dry weather. The residuals must be incorporated into the soil within 24 hours
after application.
12. Appropriate measures must be taken to control public access to the land application sites during active
site use and for the 12 -month period following the last residual application event. Such controls may
include the posting of signs indicating the activities being conducted at each site.
13. Adequate provisions shall be taken to prevent wind erosion and surface runoff from conveying
pollutants from the residuals application area onto the adjacent property or into any surface waters.
14. Residuals shall not be applied in inclement weather or until 24 hours following a rainfall event of 1/2-
inch or greater in 24 hours. Any emergency residuals disposal measures must first be approved by the
Division.
15. Residuals shall not be applied to any land application site that is flooded, frozen or snow -covered -
16. Residuals shall not be applied at rates greater than agronomic rates unless authorized by the Division.
17. Animals shall not be grazed on an application site for 30 days after residuals application. Application
sites that are to be used for grazing shall have fencing that will be used to prevent access after each
application.
18. Food crops, feed crops and fiber crops that do not come in contact with the residuals shall not be
harvested for 30 days after residuals application.
19. Food crops with harvested parts that touch the residual/soil mixture and are totally above the land
surface (ex. tobacco, melons, cucumbers, squash, etc.) shall not be harvested for 14 months after
residuals application.
20. Food crops with harvested parts below the surface of the land (root crops such as potatoes, carrots,
radishes, etc.) shall not be harvested for 20 months after application of residuals when the residuals
remain on the land surface for four months or longer prior to incorporation into the soil.
