Land Application of Sludge
Currituck County
Dear Mr. Felton:
In accordance with your application received October 22, 1992, we are forwarding herewith Permit
No. WQ0000974 dated February 26, 1993, to Atlantic Nutrients, Incorporated for the continued
operation of a land application of sludge program. This permit amendment allows the addition of three new
sludge sources and a one time only application (16.68 dry tons) from the Skyco Water Plant lagoon.
Please be advised that the Division has concerns that could affect the upcoming renewal and any
subsequent modification of this permit These concerns include the failure of the permittee to perform the
sludge analysis as required by previous permits, the remaining site life due to metals accumulation, and the
results of groundwater monitoring which shows values that indicate violations (possibly due to poor
sampling techniques or improperly constructed wells). These items must be resolved before any additional
sludge sources can be considered by this Division. Please be advised that civil penalty assessments for
permit violations are authorized through the Environmental Management Commission. Any violation of
any terms and conditions of this or previous permits can be assessed. Additionally, if analyses indicate
that the lifetime heavy metal limitations are being approached, land application must cease immediately.
Please be advised that this permit contains conditions that require a complete soils analysis and a complete
sludge analysis (that includes all the individual sludges applied to the land application site) to be provided
to the Division within sixty (60) days of permit issuance.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until July 31, 1994, and shall be subject to
the conditions and limitations as specified therein. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring
requirements in this permit. Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting and maintaining the
required operational information will result in future compliance problems. Issuance of this permit hereby
voids Permit No. WQ0000974 issued February 28, 1992. Please note that. Section III of this permit
contains changes in monitoring and reporting requirements for TCLP testing and sludge stabilization.

ne. _r abov-- oi below thr (open) po-."..:1 of th- .l.:li at an-. :__ diurirs the -
However, the exact location and construction details for this well shall be approvQd by the
_Washington Regional Office PRIOR TO BEGINNING INSTRUCTION. A well
construction record (GW-1 form) is to be �ubrnitted to the Washington Regional Officr,
within 30 days after well construction,
2. All four (4) monitor wells [the three (3) existing and one (1) new monitor well], shall be
sampled initially after construction and thereafter every February, June, and October for the
following parameters:
NO3
Ammonia Nitrogen
TDS
TOC
pH
Water Level
Chloride
Cadmium
Copper
Zinc
Total Suspended Solids
Fecal Coliform
Volatile Organic Compounds -
In October only (by method 1 or 2 below)
Method 1: Method 6230D (Capillary - Column), "Standard Methods For the
Examination of Water and Wastewater", 17th ed., 1989
Method 2: Method 502.2 "Methods For The Determination of Organic Compounds
In Drinking Water", U.S. EPA - 600/ 4-8 8/ 039
The measurement of water level must be made prior to sampling for the remaining
parameters.
If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/1 are detected in any down gradient 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 down gradient 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 analyses 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 on Form GW-59 (Compliance Monitoring Report Form) every
March, July, and November.
3. 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 facilities 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,
if the title ..:...ny property which may affect the location cf the C= pliance l3nand:zry is
changed, thu permittee shall notify the Division Director within 14 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 specified by regulations in i5A
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 either (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; or,
(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.
4. Within 60 days of monitoring well construction, a modified scaled map of the facility site
shall be submitted to the Division of Environmental Management, Groundwater Section,
(Permit Group) - P.O. Box 29535 Raleigh, N.C. 27626-0535. The scale of the map shall

be provided.
6. No land application of waste activities shall be undertaken when the seasonal high water
table is less than three feet below land surface.
V. INSPECTIONS
1. 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
