amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
Valley Proteins, Inc.
Duplin County
FOR THE
operation of a wastewater residuals land application program consisting of the application of 245.0 dry
tons per year of residuals from the sources listed in Condition H 5, to approximately 17.47 acres of land in
Duplin County with no discharge of wastes to the surface waters, pursuant to the application received on
August 1, 1997, and in conformity with the project plan, specifications, and other supporting data
subsequently filed and approved by the Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources and
considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 31, 2002, and shall be subject
to the following specified conditions and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
L The Wilmington Regional Office, telephone number (910) 395-3900, 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.
2. This permit shall become voidable if the soils fail to adequately assimilate the wastes and
may be rescinded unless the sites are maintained and operated in a manner which will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 of Water Quality
(Division).
6. 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 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
appropriate regional office,
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 at the facility.
8. No residuals at any time shall be stored at any application site, unless approval has been
requested and obtained from the Division.
9. Only residuals from the aerated sludge holding tank are approved to be land applied at this
time. In the future if it is determined that the sludge from the lagoons must be land applied,
then this permit must be amended by Valley Proteins, Inc. prior to application.
10. 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
l . The facilities and application sites shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
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, the Department of
Agriculture, the Natural Resource 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.
4. The application rates shall not exceed a hydraulic loading greater than 0.7 inches per hour
or a plant available nitrogen (PAN) loading greater than the following for the specified
crops:
Crop PAN (lb./acre/yr.)
Alfalfa
200
Bermuda Grass (Hay, Pasture)

If the approved land application sites are to be double cropped (i.e., a crop in the spring
and a second crop in the fall, with BOTH crops to receive wastewater residuals), then the
second crop shall receive an application of residuals at a rate at least 50% less than the
above PAN rates, due to the fact that organic nitrogen is mineralized slowly over time (i.e.,
a second crop consisting of small grain shall receive have a PAN application rate of no
greater than 50 lb./acre/yr.). This practice will be allowed as long as the second crop is to
be harvested. If the second crop is to be planted for erosion control only, and is to be tilled
into the soil, then no residuals shall be applied to these fields because the nitrogen will
essentially be returned to the soil.
5. No residuals other than the following are hereby approved for land application in
accordance with this permit:
Permit Volume
Source County Number (dry tons/, e�az)
Valley Proteins, Inc. Rose Hill Facility Duplin WQ0000485 246.0

application/residuals operator to be in responsible charge (ORC) of the land application
program. The operator must hold a certificate of the type classification assigned to the land
application program by the WPCSOCC. The Permittee must also employ a certified back—
up operator of the appropriate type to comply with the conditions of 15A NCAC 8A .0202.
8. Adequate procedures shall be provided to prevent surface runoff from carrying any
disposed or stored residuals into any surface waters.
9. Surface applied residuals will be plowed or disced within twenty-four (24) hours after
application on lands with no cover crop established.
10. For areas that are prone to flooding or within the 100-year flood elevation, residuals may
be applied only during periods of dry weather. The residuals must be incorporated into the
soil within twenty-four (24) hours after application.
11. Appropriate measures must be taken to control public access to the land application sites
during active site use and for the 12-month period following the last residual application
event. Such controls may include the posting of signs indicating the activities being
conducted at each site.
12. Adequate provisions shall be taken to prevent wind erosion and surface runoff from
conveying pollutants from the residuals application area onto the adjacent property or into
any surface waters.
13. Residuals shall not be applied in inclement weather or until 24 hours following a rainfall
event of 1/2-inch or greater in 24 hours. Any emergency residuals disposal measures must

prevent access after each application.
17. Food crops, feed crops and fiber crops that do not come in contact with the residuals shall
not be harvested for 30 days after residuals application.
18. Food crops with harvested parts that touch the residual/soil mixture and are totally above
the land surface (ex. tobacco, melons, cucumbers, squash, etc.) shall not be harvested for
14 months after residuals application.
19. Food crops with harvested parts below the surface of the land (root crops such as potatoes,
carrots, radishes, etc.) shall not be harvested for 20 months after application of residuals
when the residuals remain on the land surface for four (4) months or longer prior to
