b. A copy of this permit shall be maintained at the land application site when residuals are being applied
during the life of this permit. A spill prevention and control plan shall be maintained in allresiduals
transport and application vehicles.
Specific residual application area boundaries shall be clearly marked on each site prior to and during
application.
No residuals at any time shall be stored at any application site, unless approval has been requested and
obtained from the Division.
9. Maximum slope for residual application shall be 10% for surface application and 18% for subsurface
applications.
10. When wastewater residuals are applied, the Class B pathogen requirements as defined in 40 CFR Part
503 or the Process to Significantly Reduced Pathogens (PSRP) as defined in 40 CFR Part 257
Appendix 11 shall be met. Additionally, an evaluation must be performed which demonstrates the
residuals ability to comply with this requirement. Upon request, a copy of this evaluation must be
submitted including all test results and calculations.
II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The facilities and application sites shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. A suitable vegetative cover, as listed in condition 114, shall be maintained in accordance with the crop
management plan outlined by the local Extension Office, the Department of Agriculture, the Natural
Resource Conservation Service, or other agronomist, and approved by this Division.

crop in the fall, with BOTH crops to receive wastewater residuals), then the second crop shall receive
an application of nutrients at a rate of no greater than 50 lbs/acre/yr. This practice will 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 wastewater residuals shall be applied to these fields because the
nitrogen will essentially be returned to the soil.

only during periods of dry weather. The residuals must be incorporated into the soil within twenty-four
(24) hours after application.
11. Appropriate measures must be taken to control public access to the land application sites during active
site use and for the 12-month period following the last residual application event. Such controls may
include the posting of signs indicating the activities being conducted at each site.

12. Adequate provisions shall be taken to prevent wind erosion and surface runoff from conveying
pollutants from the residuals application area onto the adjacent property or into any surface waters.
13. Residuals shall not be applied in inclement weather or until 24 hours following a rainfall event of 1/2-
inch or greater in 24 hours. Any emergency residuals disposal measures must first be approved by the

residuals application.
19. Food crops with harvested parts below the surface of the land (root crops such as potatoes, carrots,
radishes, etc.) shall not be harvested for 20 months after application of residuals when the residuals
remain on the land surface for four (4) months or longer prior to incorporation into the soil.
20. Food crops with harvested parts below the surface of the land shall not be harvested for 38 months after
application of residuals when the residuals remain on the land surface for less than four (4) months

Sandy Shaw has informed me of your telephone conversation with him pertaining to TCS
The conversation concerned itself with "supersedes" of line 2 of paragraph two of the
cover letter. Sandy has informed me that the previous certification effective January 1, 1991 was
not superseded by the certification of June 27, 1995 and that the certification of 1991 is still in
force. I further understand that this covers both real and personal property.
I am enclosing a copy of a letter that I am writing to Mr. Ted McCormick, Tax

Dear Mr. McCormick:
We have received a copy of TCS 500 denoting items certified for tax exemption of our
waste water equipment. Upon reading line 2 of paragraph two of the cover letter, the word
"supersedes" warranted clarification.
Thereupon, Mr. Kerr T. Stevens, Regional Supervisor was contacted and Mr. Stevens in
turn requested Mr. Grady Dobson, who conducted the on site inspection on June 20, 1995, to
contact Sandy Shaw.
Mr. Dobson contacted Sandy by phone on Thursday, July 6, 1995. Mr. Dobson indicated
to Sandy that the certification of 1990 effective for tax year 1991 was still in force for both real
and personal property and that TCS- 500 (dated June 27, 1995),was in addition to the 1990.
A copy of our asset register is enclosed as pertains to waste Water. It will be noted that
there are three items for period 1990 through 1994 that were not approved for tax exemption. The
total of these is $58,711. Accordingly, our exempted property for waste water items would be
lowered by that amount.
Mr. Dobson is .being, sent a copy of this letter and is being requested to respond to me if

From: Jack Floyd, P.
Subject: Valley Proteins, Inc.
Sludge Disposal Facilities
Anson County
WQ0007504/GW94078
' (John Seymour: DEM SERG Review Engineer)
The Groundwater Section has reviewed the subject permit application for the
treatment and disposal of sludge from the Valley Proteins, Inc. facility. Sludge will be
treated in a new digestion system and subsequently land applied to fields that surround an.
existing spray irrigation system. A groundwater monitoring network is already in place to
monitor the spray irrigation system and should serve to monitor the sludge disposal areas.
Therefore, the Groundwater Section does not object to issuance of the permit
provided the following conditions are included: _
1. Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division,
shall be provided.
2. 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.
If there are any questions please let me know.

WASTEWATER TREATMENT SYSTEM BIOLOGICAL SLUDGE DISPOSAL
PLAN
Dear Mr. Seymour:
The attached Drawings, Design Summary Engineering Report and NPDES.permit
modification application prepared by Reid Engineering Company are submitted on behalf
of Valley Proteins, Inc.., to the North Carolina. Department of Natural Resources for review
and approval to obtain a permit. to construct a proposed new biological sludge heat
treatment system to comply with pathogen reduction requirements of the DNR and US
EPA sludge disposal regulations.
This existing wastewater treatment facility presently generates an average of
approximately 6,000 gpd of waste activated sludge which has been disposed .by land
application on the approved spray irrigation wastewater disposal site.
Valley Proteins proposes to install and operate a new heat treatment process for
pathogen reduction in the waste activated sludge prior to ultimate disposal by spray
irrigation. The proposed sludge heat treatment system will use a batch heating process =.
with waste heat supplied from the rendering plant into two 7,000 gallon sludge storage-
heat treatment tanks.- Sludge will be pumped into either of the 7,000 gallon sludge.
storage tanks until the tanks are approximately full containing a volume between 5,500
to 7,000 gallons after which the sludge contained in the tank will be heated to over 1800 F
and retained for a minimum detention time of 30 minutes prior to ultimate disposal by
spray irrigation..

At the present waste activated sludge production rate, it is estimated that between
one sludge batch per day ranging from 6,000 to 7,500 gallons must be heat treated prior
to ultimate disposal by land application. In the future, if the daily waste activated sludge
production volume increases to 10,500 gallons/day as estimated on page 17 of the
original design summary, report attached (see Appendix.#1) approved by the North
Carolina Department of Natural Resources for this facility, then the number of sludge
batches will be increased to accommodate the additional sludge volume. If required in
the future, additional sludge batch heating tanks can be installed.
A process flow schematic and details of. the proposed new sludge heat treatment
system are attached for reviewt and approval by the DNR. If additional, submittal
information is required by the DNR please advise. Since Valley Proteins desires to place
this sludge heat treatment system in operation as soon as possible, expedited approval
of this design submittal by the DNR would be appreciated: -

DESIGN SUMMARY
OF WASTEWATER PRETREATMENT FACILITIES
VALLEY PROTEINS, INC.
Wadesboro, North Carolina
A. GENERAL .
1. Three basic types of wastewater will be discharged by the rendering plant.
a. Wastewater generated by truck washing and plant drainage and
washdown will " contain 'high concentrations of oil .and grease,
suspended solids, TKN and BOD. This washdown and drainage
wastewater must be pretreated by a fat.flotation unit and a dissolved
air flotation cellto reduce these "high concentrations of suspended" '
pollutants before .flowing, into the downstream final biological
treatment process.
b. Cooker condensate wastewater generated by the rendering.operation
will contain high concentrations of ammonia and other dissolved -or
= soluble pollutants -compared to washdown and drainage wastewater.
This wastewater is pumped directly to Flow Equalization Basin #2 to
be *blended with pretreated drainage wastewater -prior to final
biological treatment.
c. Sanitary wastewater generated from the bathroom facilities ,at the
rendering plant will flow directly to the biological treatment plant since
solids in this"type of wastewater should not be removed by screening
and flotation and then rendered.
B. SCREENING
1. Wastewater generated by plant washdown and truck drainage activated will
flow by gravity sewer lines into a collection well and from there be pumped
into a Sweco vibrating.circular screen with .03 inch openings, with a capacity
of 200 gpm.

AOR < 100#0j#hr
C. One 60 HP high speed floating surface aerator is provided in FEB #2
for oxygen transfer mixing. The field oxygen transfer capacity of the
60 HP aerator assuming an oxygen transfer rate from the aerator
into the FEB wastewater of 2.0#02/HP/hr =
60 HP (2.0#02/hr/HP) = 120#02/hr vs. 100#02/hr' required
Therefore, aeration power requirements govern aerator selection.
HPA = 60 HP vs HPM = 15 HP

7. Noncompliance Notification:
The Permittee shall report by telephone to the Fayetteville Regional Office, telephone
number 919/ 486-1541 as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours or on the
next working day following the occurrence or fast knowledge of the occurrence of any of
the following:
a. Any occurrence with the land application program which results in the land
application of significant amounts of wastes which are abnormal in quantity or
characteristic.
b. Any failure of the land application program resulting in a release of sludge material
to receiving waters.
c. Any time that self -monitoring information indicates that the facility has gone out of
compliance with the conditions and limitations of this permit or the parameters on
which the system was designed.
d. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that render the facility
incapable of adequate sludge treatment.
e. Any spillage or discharge from a vehicle or piping system transporting sludge to the
application site.

form within 15 days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report must outline
the actions taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem does not recur.
IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENIS
1. Any groundwater quality monitoring as deemed necessary by the Division of
Environmental Management shall be provided.
2. The -Compliance Boundary,for the disposal system is specified by regulations in 15A
NCAC 2L, Classifications and Standards. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality
Standards beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to penalty provisions applicable
under General Statute 143-215.6(1)a.
0

For facilities permitted on or after December 30, 1983, the Compliance Boundary is
established at the lesser of 250 feet from the application area, or 50 feet within the property
boundary.
Any sale or transfer of property which affects the location of the compliance boundary shall
be reported immediately to the Director. The permittee shall not transfer land within an
established compliance boundary unless the permittee has satisfied all the requirements of
15A NCAC 2L .107 (e and f).
The REVIEW BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified by regulations in 15
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,
(u) 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.
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
for a period of three years from the date of the inspection and shall be made available upon
request by the Division of Environmental Management or other permitting authority.
2. Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the Division of Environmental
Management may, upon presentation of credentials, enter and inspect any property,
premises or place on or related to the disposal site and facility 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; or may obtain samples of
groundwater, surface water, or leachate.
VI. GENERAL DITIQNS
1. This permit shall become voidable unless the land application activities are carried out in
accordance with the conditions of this permit and in the manner approved by this Division.
2. This permit is effective only with respect to the nature and volume of wastes described in
the application and other supporting data.
3. This permit is not transferable. In the event there is a desire for the facilities to change
ownership or a name change of the Permittee, a formal permit request must be submitted to
the Division of Environmental Management accompanied by an application fee,
documentation from the parties involved, and other supporting materials as may be
appropriate. The approval of this request will be considered on its merits and may or may
not be approved.

The only non -industrial waste is a septic tank (1,200-gallon
capacity) which discharges approximately 300 gpd of domestic waste
into the wastewater treatment facility from personnel at the
rendering plant. Prior to entering the first stage of treatment
(DAF UNIT), the domestic waste enters a manhole along with boiler
blowdown water at a temperature of approximately 212 F. The water
then enters the DAF unit. The skimmings are rendered. The average
flow to the treatment facility is approximately 75,000 gpd. Thus,
the amount of domestic waste entering this system daily is approxi-
mately 0.4%.
C. Landfill: N/A

Nondischarge Staff Report and Recommendations
Page 4
Land Use: All sites, approximately 70 acres, is privately owned by
Valley Proteins. The specific sites proposed for land -application are
pasture acreage (fescue and common bermuda cover), and loblolly pine
trees with fescue grass sowed between the rows.
Type of Waste to be Applied
(1) Origin of Sludge: The sludge is a by-product of wastewater treatment
from the Valley Proteins' Rendering facility. This facility currently
operates a pretreatment facility prior to land applying treated effluent
onto permitted acreage (Permit No. WQ0000957).
(2) Volume Of Sludge: According to data supplied by Kendall & Associates,
the estimated annual sludge production is 1,680,OOO gallons (98.5 Dry
Tons @ 1.4% solids rate).
Description of Existing Facility
Valley Proteins is company which renders inedible animal parts (bones,
offall, blood, etc.) and recycles this product back as the vitamin
supplement in animal feeds. The non -renderable material is treated in a
biological treatment facility (previously addressed) with final treated
effluent spray irrigated onto. approximately 80 acres of pine trees.
Land Limiting Constituent Analysis
Based on the sludge analysis, the limiting constituent will be PAN. The
loading rate for the sludge will be based on an annual PAN of
150 #/acre/yr for the grassed sites and a 75 #/acre/yr for the pine tree
acreage. The pasture (grassed) acreage (approximately 17.0 acres) can
accept 2,550 #/PAN/yr which is greater than the maximum adjusted PAN
calculated to be 2,060 lbs. The limiting metal was calculated to be zinc
which would allow a lifetime site life of 500 years.
Management
The responsibility for management of the sludge program will rest
entirely with Valley Proteins, Inc. The company's consulting engineers,
Kendall & Associates, Inc., will devise a Forestry Management Plan which -
will include pulpwood thinning in approximately 5 years, and a regener-
ation program to establish new stands of pine trees when current stands
reach maturity in 30-40 years. The grassed (pasture) acreage will be
managed in a typical agricultural manner.

Assessibility
The property on which the sludge is applied is company owned. Access to
these sites will be controlled by the company.
PART IV EVALUATION AND REC MEMDATIONS
It is the recommendation of the Fayetteville Regional.Office that

( John Seymour : DEM SERG Review Engineer )
The Groundwater Section has reviewed the subject permit
application. - The consultant has found sites 8 and 9 to be susceptible
to damage from the spray truck during the wetL winter months. A -
condition in the operations and maintenance section of the permit should
address this.
The Groundwater Section recommends issuance of the permit with
the following conditions:
1. Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by
the Division, shall be provided.
2. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for the disposal system is
specified by regulations in 15A NCAC 2L, Groundwater
'Classifications and Standards. An exceedance, of
Groundwater Quality Standards beyond the Compliance
Boundary is subject to the penalty provisions applicable
under General Statute 143-215.6(1)a.
For facilities permitted on or after December 30, 1983, the
Compliance Boundary is established at the lesser of 250 feet
from the application area, or 50 feet within the property
boundary.

Any sale or transfer of property which affects the location of
the compliance boundary shall be reported immediately to, the
Director. The permittee shall not transfer land within an
established compliance boundary unless the permittee- has
satisfied allthe requirements of 15A NCAC 2L .107 (e and
f).
The REVIEW BOUNDARY for the disposal system is specified
by regulations in 15A 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
ofstandards at the Compliance Boundary, and implement that
plan upon its approval by the Director.

SITE EVALUATION AND
WASTE LOADING ASSESSMENT
FOR SLUDGE LAND APPLICATION SYSTEM
VALLEY PROTEINS RENDERING PLANT
WADESBORO, ANSON COUNTY
I. INTRODUCTION
Valley Proteins operates a rendering plant in Anson County
approximately 5 miles north of the city of Wadesboro. Figure 1
shows the location of the rendering plant, the proposed
application site and surrounding property owned by Valley
Proteins. Wastewater generated at the plant is treated and
applied to land by spray irrigation. Valley Proteins proposes
to surface apply biological solids from the wastewater treatment
plant to sites located on its 530-acre property.
Kendall & Associates was retained to perform the site evaluation
and waste loading assessment and prepare the permit application
for Land,Application of Residual Solids. In 1988 we performed a
similar investigation of the spray irrigation site during which
we examined soil profiles from borings and test pits and.
installed two ground water monitoring wells. The current
investigation was performed in accordance with the State of
North Carolina Non -Discharge Permit Application for Land
Application of Residual Solids. Staff members contributing to
the current study were: Robert Kendall - Soil Scientist, G. H.
Asady, Ph.D. - Professional Engineer and Joe Eatman -
Agronomist. Table 1 provides cross-references between sections
in this report and those in the permit application.
II. SITE EVALUATION
A. Site Location
Nine separate sites ranging in size from 2.5 to 20.0 acres are
proposed for land application of sludge. The locations of the
sites are shown on Figure 2. Limits of each site comply with
the buffer requirements specified on pages 2 and 3 of the permit
application. Specifically, application sites are at least 100
ft from property boundaries, streams and natural drainageways
and at least 400 ft from habitable residences. All of the
application sites border on Little Duncan Rd, a gravel road that
runs through the property. Valley Proteins owns the land on
both sides of the road for its entire length. There is
virtually no traffic on this road other than that going to and
from the Valley Proteins plant.

B. Soil Investigation
Robert Kendall•condudted the soil investigation in the proposed.
application areas. Hand auger borings were advanced at 12
locations and the soil profiles were described according to the
Soil Conservation Service (SCS) system of classification.
Boring locations are shown on Figure 2 and profile descriptions
are attached in the appendix of this report.
1. Soil Physical Characteristics
The SCS has mapped a portion of the property but a'soil survey
report has not been published. The principal upland soils
mapped by the SCS on the Valley Proteins site are the Creedmoor,
White Store and Mayodan series.. Typical descriptions of these
-� series taken from the SCS are presented in the Appendix-.
All three soils mapped on the site contain a firm clay -subsoil
that has a tendency to retard internal drainage. The true.water
table is typically at a depth greater than 5 ft but perched
_ water table conditions may develop during the winter and early
spring because of the slow internal drainage. A'perched water
table may form at a depth as shallow as: 18 inches in the:
Creedmoor and White Store series. The Mayodan series typically
does not exhibit perched water table conditions.
During the soil .investigation gray mottling, which indicates
restricted drainage in the soil, was encountered at several
locations but generally at depths below 30 inches. On Sites 8
and 9 gray mottling was encountered at 36, 32 and 26 inches at
Borings B10, B11 and B12, respectively. This area is classified
as the Creedmoor series.. The Creedmoor series was also mapped
at Boring B5 on a portion of Site 2. Gray mottles were
encountered at 30 inches at this.location.
The gray mottling observed,,in-the Creedmoor series is due'to
perched water table.conditions and not'the true water table.
The four borings classified,as.the Creedmoor series are all
located at high topographic positions but the.land-is ' nearly
level to very gently sloping. Lateral drainage through the more
permeable surface layers is limited and soil water .tends to
perch above the restrictive clay horizons.,
J The restrictive subsoil layers not only retard drainage but also
impede migration of waste constituents to the ground water.
-� -This condition is confirmed by monitoring results from the spray
irrigation site. Four monitoring wells are sampled routinely as
part of the .spray irrigation system operation,. The locations of .'
the four wells are shown on Figure 1." Well No.. 3 is the
�j background well for the irrigation -system and is located at .an
5

elevation of approximately 285 ft, msl which is comparable to
the elevation of the sludge sites. The water table in Well No.
-'i 3 during the past year fluctuated between depths of 9 and 10.ft
below ground surface. At this depth the water table is .
separated from the perched water table detected on Sludge Sites
8 and 9'by about 5 ft. The likelihood of sludge application
causing contravention.of ground water standards is small because
of the restrictive clay in the subsoil.
2. Soil Chemical Characteristics
Soil samples were collected from the surface horizon and from a
depth of 18 to 24 inches in the subsoil at each boring, Samples
were composited by soil series and by,horizon and delivered to a
commercial testing laboratory for chemical analysis. Test
results are reported in -Table 2. Cadmium, copper, lead and
nickel analyses are not part of conventional agronomic testing
- and were not performed. As will be discussed in the next
section of this report, metals are at very low concentrations in
the Valley Proteins sludge and do not affect waste loading
rates.
3. Vegetation Conditions
Planted loblolly pine trees cover all
trees were planted at the same time as
irrigation fields and are 15 to 20 ft
recently purchased and most of it was
grasses by the previous owner. Sites
sites that contain pasture grasses.
C. Site Suitability

The nine.sites identified for sludge application are suitable
for the.intended purpose. All of the sites are at or near the
tops of broad ridges with slopes ranging from 2-to 10 percent.
All nine sites are fully covered with perennial vegetation -that
will minimize erosion potential and will provide an effective
pathway for nitrogen removal from the applied sludge. Table 3
lists the area in each site that is suitable for sludge
application.
r] The perched water table conditions that are assumed to exist in
Sites 8 and 9 are likely .to be less of a problem from the
perspective of ground water contamination than from a
_ trafficability perspective. Access.into these sites should be
reserved for the summer and fall months (June -November) when
soil moisture levels typically are lowest.

III. SLUDGE CHARACTERIZATION
70.0 9,300
Sludge is produced from biological treatment of process
wastewater from the rendering plant. A schematic of the
treatment process is shown on the Water Flow Diagram by Reid
Engineering attached in the pocket at the back of this report.
Sludge is wasted from the clarifier periodically to maintain the
total suspended solids at a concentration of approximately
2,500 mg/l. Normal practice is to waste sludge 4 to 5,days per
.week or about 20 days per month. The average rate of wasting is
.4,500 gpd. For purposes of sludge loading calculations the
sludge volume is based on sludge -wasting 31 days/month at a rate
of 4,500 gpd or 140,000 gal/mo.
Sludge characteristics are presented in Table 4. Analyses for
hazardous waste determination are presented in the Appendix.I
Total solids concentration of the sludge is 1.4 percent which is
^� consistent with many biological treatment,systems.- The three
forms of nitrogen reported in Table 4 are'at concentrations that
are significantly lower than for other facilities in the
industry. This is due to the operation of the oxidation ditch
in the wastewater treatment system. This unit has the
-capability of removing nitrogen -from the waste -stream by
denitrification.
Valley Proteins proposes to install -a 20,000 gal sludge storage
tank for periods of inclement weather when application of sludge
is not possible. The tank will,be equipped with a lime feed and
'J mixer to allow.the sludge to be stabilized in order to meet.the
.8

requirements of the "process to significantly reduce pathogens"
as outlined in 40 CFR Part 257, Appendix II. Lime requirements
to achieve the required pH will be determined in the field by
jar tests using a 5% lime solution.

IV.- RECOMMENDED LOADING RATES
A. Licruid and Solid Loading
The sludge generated at.the plant is in a nearly liquid form
with only 1.4 percent solids. Applied in a liquid form, the
solids -do not represent a land limiting constituent, especially -
on the proposed sites, all of which have a complete vegetative
cover. The -solids will remain at the surface as the liquid
fraction infiltrates into the -soil.
km

-- Hydraulic loading limits.are dictated by the acceptable
instantaneous rate of application rather than by the
permeability of the subsoil. Applications should be limited to
0.1inch.per pass of the application vehicle. The organic -layer
at the surface of both the pine and pasture sites is capable of
absorbing and holding this volume of liquid with little
potential for runoff. Subsequent applications should be
scheduled no sooner than two weeks from the previous
application. This will allow bacterial decomposition of the
biological solids contained in the sludge.
B. Nitrogen Loading

For design purposes a total

is estimated to be
The results of the site evaluation indicated that 70.0 ac are
available for sludge application. If sludge is distributed
evenly over the entire site the total nitrogen loading rate
would be approximately 100 lb/ac. The organic nitrogen
contained in the lime stabilized sludge will mineralize
gradually with approximately 40% becoming available during the
first year.and about 20% during subsequent years. After
allowance is made for ammonia volatilization the plant available
nitrogen (PAN) applied at design loadings will be approximately
3,850.lb/yr. (See Appendix for calculations.)
Pine trees can take up as much as 200 kg/ha (225 lb/ac) of
nitrogen per year (EPA, 1983). Net uptake is estimated to be
50% of this total, yielding a net nitrogen uptake rate of about
112 lb/ac-yr. Application of 3,850 lb/yr of PAN only to pine
trees will require 35 ac of land.
Pasture grasses on Sites 3, 6 and-7 dominated by fescue and
¢ common bermuda, are capable of taking up 150 to 400 kg/ha of
nitrogen per year (EPA, 1981). Because the forage grasses are
not managed for maximum yields we have assumed a nitrogen uptake
rate of 150 lb/ac-yr for the forage grass sites. At this rate
1 the 16.9 ac of grass in Sites 3, 6 and 7-can assimilate 2,535
lb/yr of nitrogen or about 65 percent of the PAN produced
annually.
10

C. Phosphorus. Salts and Metals
1. Phosphorus
Phosphorus content of the sludge is low and is not_a factor in
design loading -calculations. The annual generation of
_f phosphorus is 1050 lb/yr. Approximately'50 percent of the total
phosphorus is assumed to.be available (EPA, 1983).. Phosphorus
uptake rates are on the order of 30.lb/ac-yr for pasture grasses
,I and about half that for,pine forests (EPA, 1981). -Phosphorus is
J also adsorbed at�high rates by clay minerals. The"525 lb of
available phosphorus applied to 70 ac would be less than 10
lb/ac-yr which is below the uptake rate for all vegetation.
2. Salts
Sodium hydroxide and lime are both used by Valley Proteins for
pH control in the waste treatment system. Salt content can -be a
.concern for land application because of the potential effects on
ground water quality, vegetation growth and soil permeability.
High dissolved solids have the potential of.impacting ground'
water quality as the cations and anions migrate to the water
table. This is not likely.to be a problem with the Valley
Proteins sludge because the volume (62 ac-in/yr) represents
about 2 percent of the precipitation that falls on the site.
Dilution by rainfall should eliminate potential impacts -on
ground water.
Vegetation can also be impacted by high salt concentration in
applied waste. Negative impacts are caused by the salts
inhibiting the osmotic potential in the plant roots. Dilution
by rainfall should minimize this problem so that only short
periods of stress on the vegetation should occur.
-� Soil structure and permeabilitycan be affected,by high
Y g
concentrations of sodium in applied wastes. The Sodium
Adsorption Ratio (SAR) is used as a'measure of the balance
between sodium and the divalent cations, calcium and magnesium.
The SAR of the sludge is 4.7 which is in a low to moderate range
-- for this parameter (see Appendix for calculations). Addition of
Jlime for sludge stabilization should reduce the SAR
significantly. To assure that sodium does not get out of
balance the SAR of the sludge should be calculated regularly.
3. Metals
The sludge under consideration for land application is.derived
J from biological treatment of wastewater from a food by-product
rendering operation. Metals are all at very low concentrations
in the sludge and are of no concern in'determining sludge
11

loading rates. Cadmium has not been detected in the sludge at a
detection limit. of 0.02 mg/l. If the detection limit is used as
the actual concentration the rate of cadmium generation would be
0.28 lb/yr. 'At a cadmium assimilation rate of 0.445 lb/ac-yr
less than one acre is required for cadmium .application.
The concentrations of other heavy metals'is also very low in. the
Valley Proteins sludge. The site life for loading of all metals
is greater than 1,000 yrs (see Appendix).
_j
V. MATERIAL TRANSPORT AND APPLICATION
(Valley Proteins proposes to use a 4,OOO gallon tanker truck to
transport and apply liquid sludge to the application sites. The
b� sludge will be pumped from the storage tank into the tanker
truck and sludge will be applied through a truck mounted
irrigation gun. During periods when access to the application
sites is not limited the truck will drive through the pasture in
Sites 3, 6 and 7' and apply -sludge as it moves. During periods
when access onto the sites is restricted, Valley Proteins
proposes to apply sludge into the pine plantations along 'Little
Duncan Rd. by spraying sludge from*the side of the truck. The
truck will move at a fixed rate along the -road and will apply a
specified amount of sludge to each site. Application stations
will be numbered and staked and a table of application times
will beprepared to assist the operator in controlling sludge
loading rates over the entire property. Application sites will
be posted to control access by the public.
The irrigation gun mounted on the tanker is a Nelson 100 Big
Gun. The gun is a part -circle model that can be adjusted to
throw in any arc from 15 to 360 degrees. For the roadside
operation the application procedure will be to spray sludge in a
600 arc with the center of -the arc at a 900 angle from the
road. A gasoline powered pump with an 18 HP engine will deliver
sludge at 60 psi at a flow rate of 160 gpm with a throw distance
of 145 ft. This equipment has been tested and liquid does not
fall"within 20 ft of the tanker.
The spray pattern with the roadside operation covers a distance
from 20 ft to 145 ft from the truck. From a fixed location on
-, the road the width of coverage would be'145 ft and the area
covered 0.25 ac., Application of 0.1 inch of sludge over this
area would require 670 gal or one sixth of a 4,000-gal load.
Where frontage of sites along the road is adequate the entire
'i load of sludge can be sprayed in 25 minutes as the truck covers
a distance of 870 ft. The irrigation gun.has a cutoff valve so
that sludge application -can be stopped when the truck moves from
one site to another if applying less than a full load.
12

VI. SILVICULTURAL.AND AGRONOMIC MANAGEMENT
The majority of the area proposed for land application contains
I� pine trees that are 8-10 years old and 15-20 ft tall. These
trees will remain at their present spacing until a pulpwood
- thinning can be performed in approximately 10 years. A 40-year
rotation for saw timber production is proposed for the remaining
trees. The grasses growing on Sites 3, 6 and 7 are dominated by
fescue and common Bermuda grass. These sites will be managed
for hay production without any attempt to improve the quality of
the stand. Since maximization of nitrogen uptake is not a
critical concern with the sludge under question, there is no.
need to convert the pasture to a higher yielding grass -such as
hybrid bermuda. Management of the existing grasses will be
,handled under contract arrangement with a local farmer -who will
cut, bale and remove the hay in return for the hay that is
produced. Harvesting will be scheduled two to four times-
- depending on the rate of growth of the grasses. -
The sludge should have no negative impacts on either type of
vegetation on the site. With application limited to 0.1 inch
per -pass the amount of total solids, dissolved solids and
nutrients should be easily assimilated by the soil -plant
system. Forage analyses will be performed on the grass
harvested from Sites 3, 6 and 7 and test results will be
reviewed before the hay is allowed to be fed to livestock.
VII. SUMMARY
The wastewater treatment system at the Valley Proteins plant in
Wadesboro, NC produces about 4,500 gpd of secondary sludge an
-I average of 20 days per month. Effective.operation of the
oxidation ditch in the system produces a sludge with a total
-- nitrogen concentration that averages 154 mg/1. In order to
provide a conservative design factor, waste loading rates for
lthis permit application were calculated based on sludge
generated at a rate of 4,500 gpd for 31 days per month. A
second conservative -factor was introduced by using a total
nitrogen concentration of 500 mg/l for evaluating nitrogen
assimilation. Using these two design factors, the mass of
nitrogen produced annually.is calculated to be five times
greater than current average values. This provides a large
margin to account for future fluctuations in the operation of
the wastewater treatment plant.
A total of 70 ac of land in nine separate sites were identified
on the Valley Proteins property. as being suitable for sludge
application. Of this total, 16.9 ac contain pasture grass and
13

53.1 ac contain pine trees that are 15 to 20 ft tall. All of
the application sites border on a gravel road that runs through
the property.. Valley Proteins proposes to spray liquid sludge
(1.4% solids) onto the sites from a tanker truck equipped with
- an irrigation gun. Approximately 26.7 ac of land can be
accessed this way. An additional 11.6 ac on the forage grass
sites (Nos. 3, 6 and 7) are currently accessible to the tanker
truck. The remaining suitable acreage -is not accessible unless
access trails are cleared through the pine plantations. Trails
will be cleared if sludge characteristics and application
records indicate that more than 38.3 ac of land are required for
hydraulic or nitrogen assimilation.

The -White Store series consists of moderately well drained, very
firm, plastic, sticky-, very slow permeable soils that have formed
in residuum weathered from Triassic material of the Piedmont
Uplands.. Slopes range from 2 to 25 percent.
TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine, mixed, thermic Vertic Hapludalfs.
TYPICAL PEDON: White Store fine sandy loam --cultivated field.
(Colors are for moist soil unless otherwise
stated.)

TYPE LOCATION: Durham County, North Carolina; 1 mile north of
Nelson at west side of County Road 1959 at intersection with
County Road 1969.
RANGE IN CHARACTERISTICS: Thickness of the clayey Bt horizons
having COLE of .09 or more ranges from 20 to 36 inches. Content
of coarse fragments in the A horizon ranges from 0 to 5 percent.
The soil is strongly acid or very strongly acid; exchangeable
aluminum is high (10 to 25 me/100g); base saturation increases
with depth and exceeds 35 percent at a depth of 50 inches below
the top of the argillic horizon.
The A or Ap horizon has hue of 7.5YR to 2.5Y, value of 4 to 6, and.
chroma of 2 to 4. Texture is sandy loam, fine sandy loam, loam,
or silt loam. Eroded phases are clay loam or clay. The E
horizon, where present, has hue of 7.5YR to 2.5YR, value of ,4 to
6, and chroma of 3 to 6. Texture is sandy loam, fine sandy loam,
loam, or silt loam. -
The Bt horizon is highly variable in color. Hue commonly is 5YR
or 7.5YR but ranges from 2.5YR to 10YR, value ranges from 3 to 6,
and chroma of 3 to 8. Mottles with chroma of 2 or less are below
the top 10 inches of the Bt horizon. Texture is.clay with thin
transitional layers of clay loam, sandy clay loam, or silty clay
-' loam. Few to common fragments and flakes of mica are in the lower
Bt horizon.
The C horizon has hue of 2.5YR to 2.5Y, value of 3 to 6, and
chroma of 1 to 8. Mottling is prominent or soil mass may contain
-1 variegated colors of red, white, gray, and brown. Weathered or
partial weathered saprolite from Triassic age fine grained
sandstone, mudstone, sillstone, or shale that crushes to .silt
loam,.sandy loam, clay loam, or silty clay loam. The R horizon,
where present, is hard Triassic age bedrock.
COMPETING SERIES: McKamie is the only series in the same
families.- Soils in a closely related or similar family. are
Creedmoor, Enon, Gore, Helena, Iredell, Orange, and Vance series.
McKamie soils lack mottles with chroma of 2 or less within 40
inches of the surface. Creedmoor soils have gray mottles within
the upper 10 inches of the argillic horizon. Enon soils are
medium acid and are low in exchangeable aluminum. Helena and
Vance soils are lower in exchangeable aluminum, have coefficient
of linear extensibility of less than .09, and the Vance soils, in
addition, have kaolinitic mineralogy. Iredell and Orange soils
_ have montmorillonitic mineralogy. Also, Orange soils are wetter
and both Orange and-Iredell soils lack Bt horizons as thick as 20
inches with COLE more than .09.

GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: White Store soils are on nearly level to
moderately steep Piedmont uplands. Slopes are mostly between 2 to
15 percent, but range from-2 to 25 percent. The soils formed in
residuum weathered from shale, mudstone, and sandstone. Mean
annual precipitation is about 42 inches, and mean annual
temperature is 60 degrees F. near the type location.
GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: In addition to the competing
series, these are Granville, Mayodan, and Pinkston series.
Granville and Mayodan soils are well drained and have yellowish .
brown to red subsoils and less mottling. Pinkston soils lack the
mottled heavy clay Bt horizon..
DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: Moderately well drained. Runoff is
rapid, and internal drainage is very slow. Permeability is very
ii slow.
I '
USE AND VEGETATION: About two-thirds of the total area is in
forest of loblolly and shortleaf pines, oaks, hickories, and gums,
and the remainder is in cultivation and pasture. Large areas of
this soil have been abandoned for row crops because of severe
_ erosion. Common crops grown are small grains, corn, cotton,,and
tobacco.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: North Carolina, Virginia, and possibly
South Carolina. The series is extensive; the area is more than
100,000 acres.
SERIES ESTABLISHED:. Anson County, North Carolina-; 1915.-
REMARKS: White.Store soils were formerly classified as Planosols.

COMPETING SERIES: Series in the same family are Albertsville, Badin,
Bengal, Bonwier, Brockroad, Carnasaw, Catharpin, Cullen, Cunningham,
Cuthbert, Enders, Endsaw, Fluvanna, Galilee, Gritney, Kirvin, Luverne,
Masada, Mattaponi, McQueen, Nason, Reml.ap, Sweatman, Tatum, Townley,
Urland, Vance, and Williamsville series. Albertsville, Carnasaw,
Cunningham, Endsaw, and Nason and Tatum soils have bedrock within a
depth of 40 to 60 inches. Badin, Bengal, and Townley soils have bedrock
within 20 to 40 inches. Bonwier and Urland soils have less total
moisture during the growing season. Brockroad and Catharpin soils have
lithologic discontinuity within the series control section. Cullen
soils have rhodic colors in parts of the Bt horizon. Cuthbert, Galilee,
and Sweatman soils have sola thickness (rock controlled structure) at
less than 40 inches. Enders soils have coarse fragments dominated by
shale or sandstone in control section. Fluvanna soils lack mica flakes
in control section. Gritney and Mattaponi soils have hue of 7.5YR or
yellower. Kirvin soils have summer moisture deficit of more than 4
inches. Luverne and Williamsville soils have formed in marine.
sediments. Masada soils developed on alluvial terraces and lack coarse

fragments dominated by shale and sandstone. McQueen soils contain many
mica flakes in the lower Bt horizon and substratum. Remlap and Vance
soils have very firm and plastic Bt horizons.
GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: Mayodan soils are on gently sloping ridges and
rolling to steep side slopes in the Triassic areas of the southern and
northern piedmont. Slopes are commonly 3 to 12 percent. and range from
1 to 50 percent. The soils developed in residuum weathered from
Triassic materials consisting of shales, sandstones, mudstoiies, and
siltstone. Mean annual temperature near the type location is 60
degrees F., with mean annual precipitation of 45 inches.
GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: These are Ayersville, Creedmoor,
Granville, Pinkston, Stoneville, and White Store series. Ayersville
soils commonly are on steeper slopes, are fine -loamy, lack an argillic
horizon, and have hard bedrock at 20 to 40 inches. Creedmoor soils are
Aquic Hapludults, and commonly are on lower lying landscapes.
Granville soils have a fine -loamy control section. Pinkston soils are
on steeper side slopes and have a B horizon less than 10 inches thick.
Stoneville soils have rhodic colors throughout the solum and soft
bedrock (rock control structure) at 40 to 60 inches. White Store soils
are Alfisols, have a higher clay content, are very plastic, and show
evidence of impeded drainage in the argillic horizon.
DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: Well drained; medium to rapid runoff;
moderate permeability.
USE AND VEGETATION: About 65 percent of the acreage of Mayodan soils
is cultivated or used for pasture. Principal crops are corn, tobacco,
cotton, soybeans, small grains, and truck crops. Original forest
included white, red, black, and post oak; hickory, yellow poplar,
sweetgum, red maple; sourwood, and flowering dogwood. Shortleaf pine,
loblolly pine, and Virginia pine are now common in old fields.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: The Triassic basins of the Piedmont in North
and South Carolina and Virginia. The_ series is of moderate extent.
SERIES ESTABLISHED: Tri Creek SCD, Yadkin County, North Carolina;
1942.

TYPE LOCATION: Durham County, North Carolina; 1.5 miles from Nelson on
SR 1973; northwest 1/2 mile on farm road, 50 feet south of road.
RANGE IN CHARACTERISTICS: Thickness of the clayey Bt horizon ranges
from 15 to 50 inches and depth to hard bedrock is greater than 5 feet.
The soil is strongly through extremely acid in all horizons unless
limed. The A and Ap horizons have hue of 7.5YR to 2.5Y, value of 3 to
6, and chroma of 1 to 6:" Texture is dominantly sandy loam but includes
loam, fine sandy loam, or silt loam. Where the soil is eroded, the Ap
horizon is commonly sandy clay loam or clay loam.
The E horizon has hue of 7.5YR to 2.5Y, value of 5 to 7, and chroma of
2 to 4. Texture is similar to the A or Ap horizons. The BE horizon,
where present, has hue of 10YR or 2.5Y, value of 5 to 7, and chroma of
4 to 6. Texture is sandy loam, sandy clay loam, loam, or silt loam.
The upper Bt horizon has hue of 7.5YR to 2.5Y, value of 5 to 7, and
chroma of 3 to 8. Some layers are mottled or contain mottles in shades
of red, yellow, brown, and gray ranging from few to many. The lower Bt
has similar base colors with few to many mottles of chroma of 2 or
less, or it has hue of. 7.5YR to 2.5Y, values of 5 to 7 and chroma of 1
or 2 with mottles in shades of red, yellow or brown. It is sandy clay
loam, silty clay loam, clay loam, sandy clay, clay, or silty clay. The
upper part of the Bt horizon is distinctly coarser in texture and less
firm in consistence than the lower Bt horI zon.
The BC horizon is highly variable in color; hue ranges from 2.5YR
through 2.5Y, value of 4 to 8, and chroma of 1 to 8. Mottles in shades
of red, yellow, brown, and gray are few to many. Texture is silty clay
loam, sandy clay loam, or clay loam.

CREEDMOOR SERIES CONTINUED 3
The C horizon has hue of 1OR to 2.5Y, value of 3 to 8, and chroma of
to 8, or is varigated red, white, gray, and brown weathered triassic
saprolite from fine grained sandstone, mudstone, siltstone "- or shale
that crushes to silt loam, loam, sandy loam, clay loam, or silty clay
loam.
The Cr horizon, where present, consists of soft triassic bedrock that
crushes to loam, clay loam, sandy loam, silt loam, or silty clay loam.
In some pedons, the Cr is within the 40 to 60 inch depth.
The R horizon, where present, is hard triassic bedrock.
COMPETING SERIES: Soils in the same family are Annemaine, Beason,
Craven, Dogue, Eulonia, Helena, Lignum, Nemours, Newco, Rosenwall,
Sacul, Stapp, VinitB, and Wolftever. Soils in closely related families
are Altavista, Appling, Conasauga, Granville, Mayodan, and White Store
series. Altavista soils have less than 35 percent clay in the argillic
horizon. Annemaine, Conasauga, Sacul, and White Store soils contain
higher clay content in the upper Bt horizon. Appling, Granville, and
Mayodan lack gray mottles within the upper 24 inches of the argillic
horizon. In addition, Granville soils have less than 35 percent clay
in the argillic horizon. Beason, Craven, Dogue, Eulonia, Helena,
Lignum, Nemours, and Wolftever soils have lower coefficient of linear
extensibility and less exchangeable aluminum than Creedmoor. Also,
Beason, Craven, and Wolftever soils commonly have less fine or coarser
sand in upper Bt horizon. Newco and Stapp soils have colors in shades
of red in the upper Bt horizon. Rosenwall and Vinita soils have sola
that'are less than 40 inches. White Store soils generally have thinner
A horizons and very firm and very plastic Bt horizons.
GEOGRAPHIC SETTING: Creedmoor soils are on nearly level to moderately
steep slopes in basins. Rocks are of Triassic age. Slopes range from
0 to 15 percent. The soils have formed in materials weathered from
fine sandstone,-mudstone, siltstone, and shale. Average annual
precipitation is about 46 inches and mean annual temperature about 61
degrees F., near the type location.
GEOGRAPHICALLY ASSOCIATED SOILS: In addition to the competing
Granville, Mayodan, and White Store series, these are Wadesboro and
Pinkston series. Pinkston soils lack the mottled heavy clay argillic
horizon. Wadesboro soils have red Bt horizons.
DRAINAGE AND PERMEABILITY: Moderately well drained and somewhat
poorly drained. Runoff is moderate; internal drainage is slow.
Permeability is very slow in the lower part of the Bt horizon.
USE. AND VEGETATION: About one-third of the soil is under cultivation
or in pasture, and the remainder in forest of shortleaf and loblolly
pin, oaks, hickory, and gum. Common crops are tobacco, small grains,
corn, cotton, and truck crops.
DISTRIBUTION AND EXTENT: The Piedmont of Virginia, North Carolina, and

CREEDMOOR SERIES CONTINUED 4
possibly South Carolina. The series is extensive; the.area is more
than 100,000 acres.
SERIES ESTABLISHED: Prince Edward County, Virginia; 1950.
REMARKS: Diagnostic features and horizons recognized in this pedon
are:
Ochric epipedon - The zone from the surface of the soil to a depth of 8
inches.
Argillic horizon - The zone from 8 to 46 inches below the surface.
