Dear Mr. Hudgens:
In accordance with your permit renewal and minor modification request received on April 10,
2002 as well as additional information received on May I4, 2004, we are forwarding herewith a renewed
Permit No. WQ0006984, dated October 8, 2004, to Delta Apparel, Inc. for the subject residuals land
application program.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009; shall void
Permit No. WQ0006984, issued on September 8, 2000; and shall be subject to the conditions and
limitations as specified therein. Make note of this permit's expiration date and the fact that a permit
renewal application is due to the Division of Water Quality (Division) no later than six months prior to
that date (i.e., see Condition VI. T), as the Division does not send reminders to apply for permit renewal.
This permit approves the continued operation of the residuals land application program for
another five-year cycle. This permit includes a change in total permitted residual volume to 250.00 dry
tons per year (see Attachment A) and a change in acreage associated with each land application site with a
total of 116.30 acres (see Attachment B). Please also note the following items that relate to this land
application program:
It has come to the Division's attention that in the past most of the land application
activity is limited to the sites belonging to one owner (Abernethy Site). It is hereby
recommended that residuals be applied to all the permitted sites to prevent overloading of
nutrients to the same site.
2. The sampling of existing the groundwater monitoring wells (MW-1, MW-2, MW-3, and
MW-4) will continue to be suspended. However, groundwater monitoring may be
reinstated if the sites appear to become overloaded with nutrients.
3. The Division is concerned about the high sodium Adsorption Ratio (SAR) found in the
residuals being land applied. The Permittee shall implement immediate amelioration
measures as outlined in Condition II.10 of this permit.

4. The maps of the land application sites submitted in the permit package do not clearly
show various buffers and physical features such as houses, wells, streams, and property
lines. A footnote shown in the Attachment B requires that updated buffer maps of land
application sites be prepared and submitted to the Division for review within 90 calendar
days of this permit's issuance.
As always, remember to take the time to review this permit thoroughly, as some of the
conditions contained therein may have been added, changed, or deleted since the Iast issuance. 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.
If any parts, requirements, and/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 shall be in the from of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North
Carolina General Statutes and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings at 6714 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714. Unless such demands are made, this permit shall be final
and binding.

9. An acceptable pH shall be maintained in the soil, greater than 6.0, on all land application sites
onto which residuals are land applied to ensure optimum yield for the crops specified in
Condition H. 13. The agronomist shall provide information on the pH best suited for the
specified crop and the soil type.
10. Should any of the residuals to be land applied contain a high salt content (i.e., high sodium
adsorption ratio (SAR) of five or higher), the exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) or other
method as approved by the Division, using the results from the annual soils analysis as
required by this permit, shall be monitored on all of the land application sites. The local
Cooperative Extension Office, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the
Natural Resource Conservation Service, a North Carolina -licensed Soil Scientist, or other
agronomist shall review the results and make recommendations regarding soil amendments
(e.g., gypsum, etc.) or other ameliorative mechanism for maintaining the integrity of the site in
terms of suitability for land application of residuals and maintaining conditions conducive to
crop growth. The Permittee shall implement such recommendations accordingly and shall
maintain written records of each monitoring event that includes details of the sites covered and
rate of soil amendment application.
11. The Permittee shall be responsible for verifying the volume of residuals that may be land
applied to the site such that the plant available nitrogen (PAN) loading rate for the specified
crop (i.e., see Condition 11. 13.) shall not be exceeded by all of the sources of PAN applied.
Should the maximum PAN loading rate be met or exceeded, then no additional residuals shall
be land applied to the site.
3

12. A suitable vegetative cover shall be maintained on land application sites onto which residuals
are land applied in accordance with the crop management plan outlined by the local
Cooperative Extension Office, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the
Natural Resource Conservation Service, or other agronomist and as approved by the Division.
13. Residuals and other sources of PAN shall be land applied to all land application sites at
agronomic rates in accordance with the crop management plan outlined by the local
Cooperative Extension Office, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer
Services, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, or other agronomist. Under no
circumstances shall the following PAN loading rates land applied to any site exceed the
following for the specified crops:

The Permittee shall apply for and receive a modification of this permit before land applying
residuals on any land application site that is to be established in a crop other than those listed
above. A maximum PAN loading rate for the desired crop shall be approved with the permit
modification.
If the land application sites are to be overseeded (e.g., bermuda grass in the summer and rye
grass in the winter with BOTH crops to receive residuals), then the second crop shall receive
an application of PAN at a rate of no greater than 50 pounds per acre per year. This practice
shall 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 residuals shall be land
applied to these sites because the PAN will essentially be returned to the soil.
Residuals shall not be land applied at rates greater than agronomic rates, unless authorized by
the Division.
14. Animals shall not be grazed on any land application site for 30 days after any residuals land
application event. Sites that are to be used for grazing shall have fencing that will be used to
prevent access after each event.
15. Food crops, feed crops, and fiber crops that do not come in contact with the residuals shall not
be harvested for 30 days after any residuals land application event.
4

16. Food crops with harvested parts that touch the residual/soil mixture and are totally above the
land surface (e.g., tobacco, melons, cucumbers, squash, etc.) shall not be harvested for 14
months after any residuals Iand application event.
17. Food crops with harvested parts below the surface of the land (i.e., root crops such as potatoes,
carrots, radishes, etc.) shall not be harvested for 20 months after any residuals land application
event when the residuals remain on the land surface for four rr►_onths or longer prior to
incorporation into the soil.
18. Food crops with harvested parts below the surface of the land shall not be harvested for 38
months after any residuals land application event when the residuals remain on the land
surface for less than four months prior to incorporation into the soil.
19. Turf shall not be harvested for one year after any residuals land application event.
20. Adequate provisions shall be taken to prevent wind erosion and surface runoff from conveying
residuals from the land application sites onto adjacent properties or into any surface waters.
Disking, seeding and other tillage operations on the land application sites shall be performed
following the land contours to aid in controlling channeling of storm water.
21. Adequate procedures shall be provided to prevent surface runoff from carrying any land
applied or stored residuals into any surface waters.
22. Surface -applied residuals shall be plowed or disced within 24 hours after land application on
land application sites with no cover crop established.
23. For land application sites that are prone to flooding or within the 100-year flood elevation,
residuals shall be land applied only during periods of dry weather. The residuals shall be
incorporated into the soil within 24 hours after land application.
24. Residuals shall not be land applied during inclement weather or until 24 hours following a
rainfall event of 0.5-inch or greater in 24 hours. Any emergency residuals land application
measures shall first be approved in writing by the Division.
25. Residuals shall not be land applied to any land application site that is flooded, frozen, or
snow-covered.
26. Appropriate measures shall be taken to control public access to the land application sites
during active site use and for the 12-month period following the last residuals land application
event. Such controls may include the posting of signs indicating the activities being
conducted at each site.

III. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Any monitoring (i.e., including groundwater, surface water, residuals, soil, or plant tissue
analyses) deemed necessary by the Division to ensure protection of the environment shall be
established, and an acceptable sampling and reporting schedule shall be followed.
2. Residuals to be land applied shall be analyzed to demonstrate that they are non -hazardous
under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). A corrosivity, ignitability, and
reactivity analysis as well as a Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure (TCLP) analysis
shall be conducted on residuals to be land applied. The analyses shall be -performed at the
frequency specified in the most recently -certified Attachment A of this permit, and the results
shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for a minimum of five years. If residuals
generated by a particular residuals source -generating facility are land applied at a frequency
less than that which is specified in the most recently -certified Attachment A of this permit, the
analyses shall be required for each residuals land application event. Only residuals that are
generated by the residuals source -generating facilities that are identified as being exempt from
this condition in the most recently -certified Attachment A of this permit shall not be required
to comply with this monitoring requirement.

monitored for two years at a frequency greater than annually, the Permittee may submit a
request to the Division for a permit modification to reduce the frequency of this monitoring
requirement. In no case, however, shall the frequency of this monitoring be less than once per
year when a residuals land application event of residuals generated by the residuals source -
generating facility occurs during that year.
4. Laboratory analyses as required by Condition III. 2. and Condition III. 3. shall be
performed/gathered on the residuals as they are to be land applied_ Furthermore, analytical
determinations made pursuant to the monitoring and reporting requirements of this permit
shall be made by a laboratory certified by the Division for the required parameter(s) under
I5A NCAC 2H .0800 or 15A NCAC 2H .1100.

Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
8. Noncompliance Notification:
The Permittee shall report by telephone to the Aquifer Protection Section of the Division's
Mooresville Regional Office at telephone number [phone], as soon as possible, but in
no case more than 24 hours or on the next working day following the occurrence or first
knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following:
a. Any occurrence with the residuals land application program that results in the land
application of significant amounts of residuals that are abnormal in quantity or
characteristic.
b. Any failure of the residuals land application program resulting in a release of material to
receiving waters.
Any time that self -monitoring information indicates that the residuals land application
program has gone out of compliance with the conditions and limitations of this permit or
the parameters on which the program system was designed.
d. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that render the residuals land
application program incapable of adequate residuals treatment.
e. Any spillage or discharge from a vehicle or piping system transporting residuals to the
application site.

Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in letter form
within five days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report shall outline the
actions taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem does not recur.
IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
Well Abandonment/Construction Criteria:
Existing groundwater monitoring wells MW-1, NM-2 and MW-3 located at the Delta
Apparel, Inc. Site (DA-01) and MW-4 (non -potable well) located near the Jenkins Site (J-01)
shall be temporarily abandoned and shall remain inactive. Each well shall be secured by a
lockable cap and be locked in order to reasonably ensure against unauthorized access and use
[15A NCAC 2C .0108(c)(7)]. The wells shall be further secured by placing a compatible
watertight cap or seal onto the riser pipe to prevent potential contamination from entering the
well(s).
Land Application Site Requirements:
a. Each land application site identified with a GW-A in the most recently -certified
Attachment B of this permit is dominated by soils with a mean seasonal high water table
greater than three feet below the Iand surface. Residuals land application events may
occur on these sites throughout the year.
b. Each land application site identified with a GW-B in the most recently -certified
Attachment B of this permit is dominated by soils with a mean seasonal high water table
between one and three feet below the land surface. Residual land application events on
these sites shall be prohibited from December through March, inclusive. No residuals
shall be land applied to these sites when the vertical separation between the depth of
residuals land application and the water table is less than three feet. The actual water
table depth for seasonally -restricted soils shall be verified by soil borings within 24 hours
prior to any residuals land application event that occurs from April through November,
inclusive. The number of borings advanced shall be sufficient to characterize water table
conditions across the land application site adequately. Any open borings shall be properly
filled with native soil, prior to the residuals land application event, to decrease the chance
of any residuals contaminating the groundwater.
Applicable BoundaKy Requirements:
The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for residuals land application programs is specified by
regulations in 15A NCAC 2L (i.e., "Groundwater Classifications and Standards"). The
Compliance Boundary for each Iand application site is established at either 250 feet from
the residuals land application area or 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is
closest to the residuals land application area. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality
Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to immediate remediation
action according to 15A NCAC 2L .0106 (d)(2).
b. The REVIEW BOUNDARY shall be established around each land application site
midway between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the residuals land
application area. Any exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at the Review
Boundary shall require action in accordance with 15A NCAC 2L .0106 (d)(2).

4. Additional Requirements:
a. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division,
shall be provided.
V. INSPECTIONS
1. Prior to each residuals land application event, the Permittee or his designee shall inspect the
residuals storage, transport, and application facilities to prevent malfunctions and
deterioration, operator errors, and discharges that may cause or lead to the release of wastes to
the environment, a threat to human health, or a nuisance. The Permittee shall maintain 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 for a period of five years from the date of the
inspection and shall be made available to the Division or other permitting authority, upon
request.
2. Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the Division may, upon
presentation of credentials, enter and inspect any property, premises, or place on or related to
the land application sites or facilities at any reasonable time for the purpose of determining
compliance with this permit; may inspect or copy any records that must be kept under the
terms and conditions of this permit; and may obtain samples of groundwater, surface water, or
leachate.
VI. GENERAL CONDITIONS
This permit shall become voidable unless the residuals land application events are carried out
in accordance with the conditions of this permit, the supporting materials, and in the manner
approved by the Division.
2. This permit shall be effective only with respect to the nature and volume of residuals described
in the application and other supporting data.
Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this permit may subject
the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division in accordance with North
Carolina General Statutes § 143-215.6A through § 143-215.6C.
4. The annual administering and compliance fee shall be paid by the Permittee within 30 days
after being billed by the Division. Failure to pay the fee accordingly may cause the Division
to initiate action to revoke this permit, as specified by 15 NCAC 2H .0205 (c)(4).
The issuance of this permit does not preclude the Permittee from complying with any and all
statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies
(i.e., local, state, and federal) which have jurisdiction, including, but not limited to, applicable
river buffer rules in 15A NCAC 2B .0200, soil erosion and sedimentation control requirements
in 15A NCAC Chapter 4 and under the Division's General Permit NCG10000, and any
requirements pertaining to wetlands under 15A NCAC 2B .0200 and 15A NCAC .0500.
10

6. This permit may be modified, revoked, and/or reissued to incorporate any conditions,
limitations and monitoring requirements the Division deems necessary in order to protect the
environment and public health adequately.
The Permittee, at least six months prior to the expiration of this permit, shall request its
extension. Upon receipt of the request, the Division shall review the adequacy of the facilities
and residuals land application program described therein, and if warranted, shall extend the
permit for such period of time and under such conditions and limitations as it may deem
appropriate.
$. This permit shall not be automatically transferable. In the event that there is a desire for the
residuals land application program to change ownership or to change the name of the
Pemvttee, a formal permit request shall be submitted to the Division documentation from the
parties involved and other supporting materials as may be appropriate. The approval of this
request shall be considered on its merits and may or may not be approved.
Permit issued this the eighth day of October, 2004.
