Residuals (503 exempt)
Gaston County
In accordance with your permit renewal request received April 6, 2015, we are forwarding
herewith Permit No. WQ0018688 dated May 29, 2015, to the Town of Dallas for the continued operation
of the subject residuals management program. Please note that this renewed permit shall become
effective on August 1, 2015 (i.e. the day after the expiration date of the existing permit), which differs
from the date of this letter.
This permit shall be effective from August 1, 2015 until July 31, 2020, shall void Permit No.
WQ0018688 issued August 20, 2006, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified
therein. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring requirements listed in Attachment A, for they
may differ from the previous permit issuance. Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting and
maintaining the required operational information shall result in future compliance problems. Please note
that Attachment A has been modified to require that sampling for metals and nutrients take place just
prior to distribution of the residuals if sampling for metals and nutrients has not taken place within the
past 12 months. Please also note that the lagoon sediments must be adequately mixed prior to sampling.
It is our understanding that EMA Resources will be serving as the contractor for distributing the
residuals, and their name must appear on the label of the bag or container, as well as in the Spill Response
Plan.
Please note that on September 1, 2006, North Carolina Administrative Code Title 15A
Subchapter 02T — Waste not Discharged to Surface Waters was adopted. Accordingly, this permit
incorporates the requirements of these rules; therefore, please take the time to review this permit
thoroughly. The following conditions have been added, modified or deleted from those in the last permit
issuance:
Condition 1. 1. — describes the permit renewal procedure
Condition II.1. — the program shall be effectively maintained and operated
Condition II.7. — Realistic Yield Expectations are used to calculate agronomic rates
Condition III.2. — an approved Operation and Maintenance Plan must be maintained
r Condition III.4. — copies of the permit and O&M plan must be present during applications

has agreed on proper residual application rates; and has agreed to operational considerations to ensure
that the high SAR content will not adversely impact the receiving sites. Recommendations regarding
sodium application rate, soil amendments (e.g., gypsum, etc.) or a mechanism for maintaining site
integrity and conditions conducive to crop growth, can be obtained from the local Cooperative
Extension Office, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Natural Resource
Conservation Service, a North Carolina Licensed Soil Scientist, or an agronomist. [15A NCAC 02T
