Town of Benson Residuals
Land Application Program
Land Application of Residual Solids
Johnston County
Dear Mr. Johnson:
In accordance with the minor modification request that was received from you on October 16,
2003, we are forwarding herewith a modified Attachment B, certified February 27, 2004, to the Town of
Benson for the subject residuals land application program.
This certification is being issued to modify Attachment B to remove Site Nos. JD-01, JD-03, and
JD-04 from the list of sites that are approved to receive residuals under this residuals land application
program. These sites are all owned by Mr. James L. Draughon, Jr., are all located in Sampson County,
contained 39.60 acres of application area, and are currently being considered by the Division of Water
Quality (Division) for approval under the Town of Clayton Residuals Land Application Program (i.e.,
Application No. WQ0023178).
The Town still has one 18.20-net acre land application site permitted under this program. It does
appear that, from a plant available nitrogen (PAN) standpoint, this single site is sufficient to manage the
Town's maximum annual residuals generation rate of 250 dry tons per year adequately. The Division
does, however, want to caution the Town that the PAN concentration of the residuals may not be the
limiting factor affecting land application rates. Rather other residuals qualities such as water content may
also affect how much residuals per acre may be land applied during a period of time. In addition, the
remaining site is seasonally restricted such that the Town may only conduct land application events
during the months of April through November, inclusive. Therefore, the Town may want to take this
opportunity to evaluate its program to ensure that it has the capacity, diversity, and flexibility needed in
order to ensure proper residuals management.
Please replace the existing Attachment B of Permit No. WQ0012514 that was previously
certified on September 27, 2002, with this modified Attachment B. Note that only the vicinity and
buffer maps for any new and modified land application sites are attached to this modified Attachment B.
It is the Permittee's responsibility to ensure that a complete permit is created by inserting this modified
Attachment B and vicinity and buffer maps into Permit No. WQ0012514, issued on September 27, 2002,
and making sure to retain any vicinity and buffer maps for any existing and unmodified land application
sites.
