Dear Mr. Grant:
August 12, 1997
Subject: Permit No. WQ0008764
WestPoint Stevens, Bob Stevens Plant
Land Application of Wastewater Residuals
Scotland County
In accordance with the amendment request received on July 3, 1997, we are forwarding herewith
Permit No. WQ0008764 as amended, dated August 12, 1997, to WestPoint Stevens for the operation of a
wastewater residuals land application program. This permit is being amended to incorporate an additional
259.0 acres of land in Hoke, Scotland, and Robeson Counties into the existing land application program.
During the field inspections, it was noted by the Fayetteville Regional Office that several of the
existing sites were utilizing animal waste for the appropriate crop nutrients. The nutrients supplied by the
animal waste must be accounted for when applying the wastewater residuals. The farmers should supply
to WestPoint or land applier, documentation which indicates the volume of animal waste applied and a
waste analysis so that the appropriate agronomic rate for the wastewater residuals can be determined. If
the nitrogen requirements for the cover crops have been supplied on the land application sites by the animal
waste, then no further wastewater residuals can be land applied. Failure to do this may result in an over -
application of nitrogen which could affect surface waters or groundwater.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until March 31, 1999, shall void Permit
No. WQ0008764 issued December 21, 1995, 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.
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 following 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 27611-7447. Unless such demands are made this permit shall be final and binding.

limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The Fayetteville Regional Office, telephone number [phone], and the appropriate
local governmental official (county manager/city manager) shall be notified at least twenty-
four (24) hours prior to the initial application of the residuals to a site so that an inspection
can be made of the application sites and application method. Such notification to the
regional supervisor shall be made during the normal office hours from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00
p.m. on Monday through Friday, excluding State Holidays. In addition, the Scotland,

may be rescinded unless the sites are maintained and operated in a manner which will
protect the assigned water quality standards of the surface waters and ground waters.
3. The land application program shall 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:
a) 400 feet from residences or places of public assembly under separate ownership for
surface application method; however, the buffer zone requirement may be reduced to a
minimum of 100 feet upon written consent of the owner and approval from the
appropriate DEM regional office,
b) 200 feet from residences or places of public assembly under separate ownership for
subsurface residual injection method; however, the buffer zone requirement may be
reduced to a minimum of 100 feet upon written consent of the owner and the

c) 100 feet from any public or private water supply source, waters classified as SA or SB,
and any Class I or Class II impounded reservoir used as a source of drinking water for
both methods,
d) 100 feet from any streams classified as WS or B, any other stream, canal, marsh or
coastal waters and any other lake or impoundment for surface application,
e) 50 feet from any streams classified as WS or B, any other stream, canal, marsh or
coastal waters and any other lake or impoundment for subsurface application,
f) 50 feet from property lines for both surface and subsurface application methods;
g) 50 feet from public right of ways for both application methods,
h) 10 feet from upslope interceptor drains and surface water diversions for both
application methods,
i) 25 feet from downslope interceptor drains, surface water diversions, groundwater
drainage systems and surface drainage ditches for both application methods.
7. 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 all residuals transport and application vehicles.
8. Specific residual application area boundaries shall be clearly marked on each site prior to
and during application.
9. No residuals at any time shall be stored at any application site, unless approval has been
requested and obtained from the Division of Environmental Management.
10. Maximum slope for residual application shall be 10% for surface application and 18% for
subsurface applications.
11. 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 II 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.
11. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. The facilities and application sites shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2

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 of the Department of
Agriculture, or the Soil Conservation Service, or other agronomist, and approved by this
Division.
3. An acceptable pH must be maintained in the soil, residual and lime mixture, greater than
6.0, on all land application sites to insure optimum yield for the crop(s) specified below.
The agronomist shall provide information on the pH best suited for the specified crop and
the soil type.
