Land Application Program
Land Application of Residual Solids (503)
Lenoir County
Dear Mr. Cauley:
In accordance with your permit modification application package received on January 21, 2005, we
are forwarding herewith a modified Attachment A, certified August 24, 2005, to the City of Kinston. for the
subject residuals land application program.
This certification is being issued to modify Attachment A to increase the volume of residuals that
may be land applied through this Iand application program from 1,000 dry tons per day to 1,500 dry tons per
day. This volume represents the total volume of residuals generated by the Kinston Regional Water
Reclamation Facility (WRF) as well as those generated at the Permittee's Peachtree WWTP, which are
pumped to the Kinston Regional WRF for further treatment, processing, and storage prior to land application.
The Permittee should pay particular attention to the monitoring and reporting requirements to
guarantee permit and 40 CFR Part 503 compliance. Even though this Attachment A has also been modified
to remove some specified sampling and operational requirements that were previously stipulated, it appears as
if there is a complicated residuals treatment/storage operation at the Permittee's two wastewater treatment
plants, and the Division of Water Quality was unsure from the submitted sampling/monitoring plan how the
sampling/monitoring is to be completed such that it is representative of the residuals to be land applied and is
in compliance with 40 CFR Part 503. As the transition is made to this new operation, the Division
recommends that the residuals sampling/monitoring plan be reviewed for these criteria. There are several
technical guidances and operator tools available that may be of assistance/interest including the following:
♦ An US Environmental Protection Agency document entitled "Control of Pathogens and Vector
Attraction in Sewage Sludge" (Publication No. EPA/625/R 92/0l3) - Revised July 2003.
Available for download from the web site at
http://www.epa.gov/ORDINRMRL/pubs/625r92013/625r92013.htm.
♦ A joint US Environmental Protection Agency and Pennsylvania Department of Environmental
Protection software program to track and calculation residuals volatile solids reduction - Revised
July 2001. Available for download from the web site at
