Land Application of Residuals from the
Treatment of Wastewater
Iredell County
Dear Mr. Thomas:
In accordance with your permit name/ownership change application received on May 17, 2001, we are
forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0016247, dated October 25, 2001, to Synagro-WWT, Inc. for the continued
operation of a residuals land application program for the City of Statesville.
This permit is being reissued to reflect the fact that the entity responsible for permit compliance is now
Synagro-VL`WT, Inc. On August 14, 2000, Synagro Technologies, Inc. bought the stock of Wheelabrator Water
Technologies_ Inc. A condition of the stock purchase agreement was that the name of Wheelabrator Water
Technologies. Inc. be changed to Synagro-WWT, Inc.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until April 30, 2004; shall void Permit No.
WQ0016247, issued to the Bio Gra Division of Wheelabrator Water Technologies, Inc. on May 28, 1999; and shall
be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein.
Please take time to review this permit thoroughly, as some of the conditions contained therein may have
changed or been added since the last issuance of this permit. Of special interest is the fact that the Divison of Water
Quality (Division) has corrected a minor typographical error that was made during the last issuance of your permit.
Specifically, there are approximately 417.3 acres of agricultural land approved to receive residuals under the
conditions of this permit and not 405 acres as was previously listed.
As always, 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 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, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714.
Unless such demands are made, this permit shall be final and binding.

continued operation of a residuals land application program for the City of Statesville and consisting of the
application of up to 2,028.6 dry tons per year of residuals from the treatment of wastewater from the sources listed
in Condition 11. 6. to approximately 417.3 acres of agricultural land in Alexander County with no discharge of
wastes to surface waters, pursuant to the permit namelownership change application received on May 17, 2001 and
in conformity with the project plan, specifications, and other supporting data subsequently filed and approved by
the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until April 30, 2004; shall void Permit No.
WQ0016247, issued to the Bio Gro Division of Wheelabrator Water Technologies, Inc. on May 28, 1999; and shall
be subject to the following specified conditions and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. The appropriate local governmental official (i.e., county manager, city manager, etc.) shall be notified
at least 24 hours prior to the initial application of residuals to any new land application site. In
addition, the appropriate county manager's office shall be notified prior to the initial application of
residuals on any new land application site so that they will be aware that residuals land application
activities have commenced on the site.
2. The Division of Water Quality's (Division) Mooresville Regional Office, telephone number (704) 663-
1699, shall be notified at least 24 hour prior to initiating each land application event on any land

State Holidays.
This permit shall become voidable if the soils fail to assimilate the residuals adequately and may be
rescinded unless the land application sites are maintained and operated in a manner which will protect
the assigned water quality standards of the surface waters and groundwater.

4. The residuals 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.
5. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages to surface
waters or groundwater resulting from the operation of this residuals land application program.
6. In the event that the residuals land application program is not operated satisfactorily, including the
creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall cease applying residuals to the site, contact the
Water Quality Section of the Division's Mooresville Regional Office, and take any immediate
corrective actions as may be required by the Division.
7. Some of the buffers specified below may not have been included in previous permits for this residuals
land application program. However, any land application sites or fields that are included in this permit,
but were approved with different buffers shall be reflagged to comply with the buffers as specified
below. 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

h. 10 feet from upslope interceptor drains and surface water diversions for both surface and
subsurface application methods; and
i. 25 feet from downslope interceptor drains, surface water diversions, groundwater drainage
systems, and surface drainage ditches for both surface and subsurface application methods.
A copy of this permit shall be maintained in all manned equipment 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.
9. Specific residual application area boundaries shall be clearly marked on each site prior to and during
application.
10. No residuals shall be stored at any land application site at any time, unless approval has been requested
and obtained from the Division.
11. Maximum slope for land application of residuals shall be 10 percent for surface application methods
and 18 percent for subsurface application methods.

H.
12. When residuals are land applied, the Class A pathogen requirements and site restrictions in 40 CFR
Part 503.32(a) or the Class B pathogen requirements and site restrictions in 40 CFR Part 503.32(b), and
one of vector attraction reduction requirements in 40 CFR Part 503.33 shall be met. Additionally, an
evaluation shall be performed that demonstrates the residuals' ability to comply with this requirement.
Upon request, a copy of this evaluation, including all test results and calculations, shall be submitted.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. The facilities and land application sites shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. A suitable vegetative cover, as listed in Condition 11. 5., 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 as approved by this Division.
An acceptable pH shall be maintained in the soil, residuals, and lime mixture, greater than 6.0, on all
land application sites to ensure optimum yield for the crops specified in Condition 11. 5. The
agronomist shall provide information on the pH best suited for the specified crop and the soil type.
4. Prior to applying residuals to any land application site that has previously received or is intended to
receive animal waste (e.g., poultry litter, hog lagoon effluent, etc.) or other source of nutrients in the
future, the Permittee shall obtain information pertaining to the volume and analysis of the applied
waste/nutrients from the landowner and/or lessee/operator of the site. The Permittee shall be
responsible for verifying the volume of residuals that may be land applied to the site such that the plant
available nitrogen (PAN) loading rate for the specified crop (i.e., see Condition 11. 5.) shall not be
exceeded by all of the sources of PAN applied. Should the maximum PAN loading rate be met or
exceeded, then no additional residuals shall be applied to the site.
The application rate of residuals and other sources of PAN to any land application site shall be such
that the following PAN loading rates shall not exceed the following for the specified crops:
Crop PAN (pounds/acrelvear) Crop PAN (pounds/acrelvear)
Alfalfa
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 residuals), then the second crop shall receive an
application of nutrients at a rate of no greater than 50 pounds per acre per year. This practice shall 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
PAN will essentially be returned to the soil. .
