• Vector Attraction Reduction: The submitted 1997 Annual Report contains SOUR test results performed by
Burlington Research, Work Order #: 7L505-005, dated 12/17/97 reported as 6.0 mg/02/Hour. 40 CFR
503.33(b)(4) states that" the specific oxygen uptake rate (SOUR) for [biosolids] treated in an aerobic process shall
be equal to or less than 1.5 mg 02/hour/gm of total solids."
• Pathogen and Vector Attraction Compliance Schedule: Permit condition I11.6. requires quarterly monitoring for
pathogen and vector attraction compliance. The submitted data contains monitoring during the fourth quarter of
1997 only.
During a meeting on November 23, 1998; between Kevin Barnett (DWQ), Joe Pearce (DWQ), Chuck Cauley (Kinston),
Henry McLean (Kinston), and Chris Hill (Kinston); the Division of Water Quality requested additional information
regarding biosolids stabilization. No additional information for the 1997 year has been received.
Additionally, you have failed to demonstrate compliance with the pathogen reduction requirements. The submitted 1997

SUBJECT: Permit No. WQ0014756

Trinity American Corporation 5275 Glenola Industrial Drive
Glenola, Randolph County, North Carolina
Dear Ms. Smith:
I have received your notification of a proposed change in use of the former Trinity
American Corporation and Trinity Fibers facilities. It is my understanding that a potential retail
tenant proposes to use a total of 57,000 square feet for a retail flea market operation- The flea
market will include use of existing restroom facilities for that area, with no additional restroom
facilities being added. I have reviewed the evaluation of potential wastewater volume to be
generated from the flea market that was included in your January 5, 1999 notification. Based on
the historical flow data, and the flea market information included in the evaluation, I am in
agreement that the operation of the proposed flea market is compatible with the permitted
wastewater disposal facilities at the site- The wastewater generated from the flea market is
acceptable for disposal facilities under a pump and haul permit for the site as well, should that
be the method of domestic wastewater disposal at the time the flea market begins operation.
The acceptability of the permitted wastewater disposal system for wastewater generated
from the proposed flea market is based on the flea market as described in the January 5, 1999
wastewater flow evaluation- This approval 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.
If you need additional information concerning this matter, please contact Corey Basinger
or me at [phone].
