Subject: Permit No. WQ0003781
Greenville Utilities Commission
Land Application of Wastewater Residuals
Pitt County
Dear Air. Elks:
In accordance with your application received on August 29, 1995, we are forwarding herewith
Permit No. WQ0003781 dated March 29, 1996, to the Greenville Utilities Commission for the operation
of a wastewater residuals land application program. The permit modification request submitted with the
subject permit renewal application are addressed as follows.
Per your request, this permit requires the existing monitor well no 2 (MW-2) to be
abandoned within 60 days of permit issuance in accordance with -15A NCAC 2C .0113
(Abandonment of Wells). The attached Well Abandonment Record (form GW-30) must be
submitted to the Washington Regional Office upon abandonment of the monitor well.
2. The monitoring well sampling schedule has been changed from 3 times per year to twice
per year. The Division was unable to reduce the monitoring to once per year, as was
requested, because of the amount of residuals and nitrogen being applied annually (1,500
Dry Tons /year).
3. In accordance with the submitted information, land application site no. 4 is reduced by 22.7
acres to allow for area to expand the wastewater treatment plant,.Tfi�-other application
acreages have been adjusted to reflect the changes Shown in ,the .app)ication, due to the
change in buffer requirements and remapping of farm and-using-A1JT0.QAD to figure plot
acreages.
4. In response to your request, this permit will allow the spray irrigation of tertiary treated
effluent from the Greenville Municipal Wastewater Treauncul, Plante �13 ia,iu appiicauw,
of residuals sites in order to supplement rainfall during dry..poOd', of the year.
As proposed, the addition of a new application site no.17 was -only to allow the spray
irrigation of tertiary treated WWTP effluent on landscaping around the treatment plant. Mr.
Dan Tracy, WWTP Superintendent, confirmed on March 13, 1996, that the proposed site
no. 17 is withdrawn as a land application of residuals site. This site will be requested for
spray irrigation once the permit application is submitted to the Division for approval.

In addition, existing site no. 3 is to be kept as a residuals application site, as authorized by
Mr. Tom Hardison, Chief WWTP Operator, on February 23, 1996. Residuals application
site No. 3 can later be converted for spray irrigation of tertiary treated effluent, as it was „
proposed in the application submitted August 29, 1995, when an application is submitted to
the Division for approval. Please be advised, keeping site no. 3 as a residuals site allows a
permit total of 301.54 residuals land application acres.
5. As requested, the Greenville Utilities Commission can use a mineralization rate of 30% for
plant available nitrogen, in calculating nitrogen loading on the subject application sites, for
the Greenville wastewater treatment residuals.
6. As noted by your application, several monitoring parameters. in this Permit have snrnrlin-
analysis results that are consistently "Below Detection Level". Since many of ttzc,c
parameters have "Lifetime Loading Limits" there is the possibility thvsc �,huw
artificial accumulations, in calculating loading rates. As per your request, " 50% of
Detection Level" may be used for reporting and in loading calculations for this permit. In
order to avoid any misunderstandings, the use of a '50% of detection level' must be
identified when submitting information to the Division.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until February 28, 2001, shall void Permit
No. WQ0003781 issued August 28, 1991, 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.
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 thirty (30) days following receipt of
this permit. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of North
Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Drawer 27447,
Raleigh, NC 27611-7447. Unless such demands are made this permit shall be final and binding.
If you need additional information concerning this matter, please contact Mr. John Seymour at
(919) 733-5083 extension 546.
Sincerely,
A. Preston Ho%vard, Jr., P.E.

IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENT
Within 60 days of permit issuance, monitor well #2 (MW-2), shall be abandoned in
accordance with 15A NCAC 2C .0113 (Abandonment of Wells). A well Abandonment
record (form GW - 30, attached) must be submitted to the Washington Regional Office
upon abandonment of the monitor wells.
N.
2. The eight (8) existing monitor wells (MW-1, MW-3, MW-4, MW-5, MW-6, MW-7, MW-
8, and MW-9) shall be sampled every June and December for the following parameters:
NO3 Ammonia Nitrogen
TDS TOC
pH Water Level
Chloride Fecal Coliforms
Zinc Copper
Volatile Organic Compounds - in December only (by Method 1 below)
Method l: Method 6230D (Capillary - Column), "Standard Methods For The
Examination of Water and Wastewater", 17th ed., 1989
The measurement of water levels must be made prior to sampling for the remaining
parameters. The depth to 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 the relative elevation of the measuring point for each monitoring well.
If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/l 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, then the Washington
Rezional Office Groundwater Supervisor, telephone number 919/ 946-6481 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 sent to the Groundwater Section, Permits
and Compliance Unit, P.O. Box 29578 Raleigh, N.C. 27626-0578 on Form GW-59
[Compliance Monitoring Report Form] every July and January.
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.
