III, OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE RE UMEMENTS
The ash distribution program shall be properly and effectively maintained and operated at all times as
a non -discharge system to prevent the discharge of any wastes resulting from the operation of this
facility or program.
2. In the event that the ash distribution program is not operated satisfactorily, including the
creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take any immediate corrective actions as may be
required by the Division.
All ash shall be adequately stored to prevent runoff prior to distribution and use. The Permittee shall
provide to the recipient of the ash guidance so that the recipient of the ash is aware of guidance
regarding how to store the ash adequately to prevent runoff of the ash following distribution and prior
to use.
4. Adequate provisions shall be taken to prevent wind erosion and surface runoff from conveying ash
from stockpile/storage areas onto adjacent property or into any surface waters prior to distribution and
use. The Permittee shall provide to the recipient of the ash guidance so that the recipient of the ash is
aware of guidance regarding how to take adequate provisions to prevent wind erosion and surface
runoff from conveying ash from the location of use onto adjacent property or into any surface waters.
5. Adequate provisions shall be taken to ensure that the transportation of ash does not cause nuisances
and hazards to public health and safety or otherwise cause an adverse impact (e.g., transport wet ash in
leak -proof trucks or cover dry ash).
Upon classification of the ash distribution program by the Water Pollution Control System Operators
Certification Commission (WPCSOCC), the Permittee shall designate a certified operator to be in
responsible charge (ORC) of the program. The operator shall hold a certificate of the type
classification assigned to. the program by the WPCSOCC. The Permittee shall also designate a
certified back-up operator of the appropriate type to comply with the conditions of 15A NCAC 8G
.0202.
7. When ash is distributed for use as a soil nutrient additive, amendment, or other agricultural purpose as
approved by the NC Department of Agriculture and Customer Services, a label shall be affixed to the
bag or other container in which the ash is distributed, or an information sheet shall be provided to the
person who receives the ash. The label or information sheet shall contain the following minimum
information:
a. The name and address of the person who prepared the ash that is sold or given away in a bag or
other container for application to the land.
b. A statement that application of the ash to the land is prohibited except in accordance with the
instructions on the label or information sheet.
c. A statement regarding all buffers from the area to which the ash product is applied, as specified in
Condition 11.9.
d. A statement that the ash shall not be applied to any land that is flooded, frozen, or snow-covered.
e. A statement that adequate procedures shall be provided to prevent surface runoff from carrying
any disposed or stored ash into any surface waters, including the guidance stipulated in Condition
1I1.3. and Condition 1I1.4.
WQ0010689 Version 2.2 Shell Version 090204 Page 4 of 9

E A statement that the application rates of the ash shall be limited to those that can be
agronomically -justified (i.e., limited to that needed to meet the liming requirements of the crops
being grown on the land).
IV. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
1. 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. The ash from each residuals source -generating facility listed in the most -recently -certified Attachment
A of this permit 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
generated by each residuals source -generating facility listed in the most recently -certified Attachment
A of this permit. 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
distributed or 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 distribution and
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.
If residuals generated by a particular residuals source -generating facility are insufficient to require a
land application events during a required sampling period as specified in the most recently -certified
Attachment A of this permit (e.g. no land application occur during an entire year when annual
monitoring is required), no sampling data is required during the period of inactivity. The Permittee
shall submit an annual report, as required in Condition IV. 8., even in the event that no land
application events occur during an entire year, the annual report shall include an explanation for
missing sampling data.
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.

V. INSPECTIONS
1. The Permittee or his designee shall inspect the facilities related to the ash distribution program (i.e.,
including the ash storage and transport 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. Under the conditions of this permit, the Permittee shall be exempt from
inspecting facilities and sites where distributed ash is utilized, as long as the Permittee complies the
requirements of Condition III. 3., Condition 111, 4., and Condition III. 7, The Permittee shall maintain

Note: As of the date of this permit's issuance on June 7, 2010, the standard operating procedures (SOPS) for this facility consist of one-half of the
wastewater recycle facilities permitted under Permit No. WQ0001512 to be shut -down and drained to dewater the ponded scrubber ash to the
greatest extent possible. Dry fly ash and dry wood/sawdust are added to the ponded scrubber ash and mixed in order to render the ash suitable for
land application. The ash is then removed and stored/stockpiled on site until it is distributed for use. Dry bottom ash is landfilled off-site. It shall
be permissible for the described SOPS to be modified with no prior approval from the Division, and the 3,200 -dry ton per year maximum
distribution volume permitted may include the various ashes either distributed as individual products or as mixtures in varying permutations. The
Permittee shall take care to adjust the ash sampling program such that it is reflective of the SOPS currently being employed (i.e., see Condition
IVA. for information regarding representative sampling).
Monitoring frequencies are based on the actual dry tons applied per year, unless specified. The Monitoring Frequency Requirements
