Land Application of Wastewater Residuals
Johnston County
Dear Mr. Phthisic:
In accordance with your application for permit renewal and modification received on March 2,
1994, we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0007622 dated September 30. 199.1 to Johnston
County for the operation of a wastewater residuals land application program. This permit renewal includes
the construction of lime stabilization facilities for Johnston County Wastewater Treatment Plant and the
addition of 55.6 acres of land application sites designated as phase II, located adjacent to the existing 54.2
acres of land applications sites designated as phase I. Due to the limited land available in the initial permit
(Phase 1) only half of the residuals total dry tons available were allowed to be land applied (535 dry tons).
Issuance of this permit authorizes the land application of all the residuals dry tons listed in this permit.
Please note the Town of Benson is added to this permit as a residuals source. Please note the Town of
Kenly is deleted from this permit as a residuals source, due to failure to show the Kenly residuals are
stabilized in accordance with EPA, 40 CFR, Part 503.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until August 31, 1999, 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. Issuance of this
permit hereby voids Permit No. WQ0007622 issued May 12, 1993.
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 follo«ing 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 2761 1-7447. Unless such demands are made this permit shall be final and binding.

may be rescinded unless the sites are maintained and operated in a manner which will
protect the assianed water quality stanchirds of the surface waters and ground waters.

3. The land application program small be effectively maintained and operated as a non -
discharge system to prevent the discharge of any wastes resulting from the operation of this
program.
4. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages
to surface or groundwaters resulting from the operation of this program.
5. In the event that the land application program is not operated satisfactorily, including the
creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall cease applying residuals to the sites and
take any immediate corrective actions as may be required by the Division.
6. Some of the buffers specified below may not have been included in previous permits for
this land application operation. However, any sites or fields that are included in this
permit, but were approved with different applicable buffers shall be reflagged to comply
with the below buffers. The following buffer zones shall be maintained:

Grass to take advantaue of the high PAN rate allowing a higher loading rate. This special
grass shall be maintained in large enough volume to insure it is handling the PAN loading
placed upon it.
An acceptable pH must be maintained in the soil, residual and lime mixture, greater than
