MEMORANDUM
TO: Fi les
THRU: Michael Wicker, ,Water Quality Regional Supervisor

FROM: Grady Dobson, Environmental Engineer
Fayetteville Regional o a1 Office
SUBJECT: Pump and Haul Permit
Permit No. WQ0010026
Town of Newton Grove
Newton Grove, North Carolina
Sampson County
The Town of Newton Grove after completion of Interstate 40 in 1987
submitted a permit application to build a wastewater treatment plant to serve
the Town's current and future wastewater needs. The application was submitted
in December 1987. NPDES Permit (NC0072877) was issued. A five (5) year
permit cycle occurred, and the Town of Newton Grove had still not completed
construction of its wastewater treatment facility. The construction was
completed in March 1993. The treatment facility began operation during May
1993.
Prior to construction completion, on three (3) occasions I met with Town
officials and the Town's consulting engineers to discuss the need for a
permanent sludge program. Also, numerous telephone conservations were made
with the appropriate Town officials to discuss the importance of a permanent
sludge program.
Since the plant began operation, the Town has had several certified
operator changes. This lack of a responsibe operator has now resulted in
violations of NPDES permit parameters. Since January 1994, the following
parameters were in violation of permit limits:
Parameter Number of Months in Violation
NH3 --N 4
BOD5 3
The above violations are directly related to the Town's inability to
dispose sludge under a permanent sludge disposal permit.

September 21, 1994
For the above reasons, the Town of Newton Grove has requested a Pump &
Haul Permit for not greater than a one (1) year period. The sludge will be
hauled to the City of Goldsboro's wastewater treatment facility for final
disposal. The City of Goldsboro and the Washington Regional Office have
provided this office with written documentation stating their acceptability of
this permitting proposal. The contractor sludge firm, Environmental Waste
Disposal (EWR), will perform the hauling duties.
The Town of Newton Grove has signed a contract with EWR to obtain a
sludge disposal permit. The request for the Pump & Haul Permit should
eliminate the current noncompliance with NPDES permit parameters.
It is estimated that only 60,000 gallons of waste sludge will be hauled
annually from the Newton Grove Waste Treatment facility. Approximately four
(4) 6,500 -gallon tanker loads will be removed for the first haul event. Up to
four (4) 6,500 -tanker loads will be removed if needed prior to issuance of a
sludge/land application permit.
