Dear Mr. Boyette:
In accordance with your permit modification application package received on May 27, 2005 as
well as the additional information received on July 8, 2005, we are forwarding herewith a modified
Attachment B, certified July 12, 2005, to the City of Marion for the subject residuals land application
program.
This certification is being issued to modify Attachment B to approve Site No's. F-01, F-02, F-03,
F-04, Q -13A, Q-1313, Q-15, Q-16, Q-20, Q-21, and Q-23 for the land application of residuals. Per the
additional information received on July 8, 2005, the Division is not approving Site No. Q-10, which was
presented in your modification application package, because of stream restoration work on that site.
Buffer reductions resulting from the restored stream will render the site unfeasible for residuals land
application. Note that several footnotes have been added to the Attachment B that require attention
before initiating a residuals land application event on Site NO.'s F-01, Q-15, Q-16, Q-20, Q-21, and Q-
23.
Please replace the existing Attachment B of Permit No. WQ0019960 that was previously
certified on November S, 2002, with this modified Attachment B. Note that only the vicinity and
buffer reaps 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. WQ0019960, issued on April 24, 2002, and
making sure to retain any vicinity and buffer maps for any existing and unmodified land application sites.
This modified Attachment B shall be effective from the date of certification; shall void
Attachment B of Permit No. WQ0019960 that was previously certified on November 5, 2005; and shall
be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein as well as those specified in the above -

d This land application site was previously an apple orchard that has since been converted to pasture land. The Division's Groundwater Section has expressed concern regarding
the historical pesticide application practices at the site and the fact that these could have adversely impact soil and groundwater quality. Although it is not a requirement
of this permit, it is strongly advised that the Permittee receive a "hold harmless" agreement with respect to prior contamination before land applying residuals to this site.

Dear Ms. Price:
On behalf of the City of Marion and after conversation with Mr. Larry Carver of the City of Marion,
I have prepared a response to the Addition Information Request dated June 23, 2005. During the
field review of the Frank Queen site three fields appear to be impacted by the current stream
restoration project that is occurring adjacent to these sites. Both the City of Marion and I are in
agreement that Field Q-10 should be dropped for consideration as a receiver site from the current
modification. In addition, Fields Q-15 and Q-16 should remain in the current modification but with
the disclaimer that an amended buffer map and updated acreage for these fields 45 calendar days
prior to the initiation of land application activities.
CLOSING
Since there no modifications, just deletions, to the current modification request, I will only include
this letter. If you have any question regarding this information, please give me a call at (336) 510-
0340.

The Aquifer Protection Section of the Division of Water Quality's (Division) Asheville Regional Office has
completed a detailed review of the above -referenced permit modification application package. At this time, additional
information is required before we may continue our review.
Be aware that you are responsible for meeting all requirements set forth in the North Carolina rules and
-Pgu.lations. Any oversights that occurred in the review of this permit modification application package are stili the
sponsibility of the applicant. In addition, any omissions made in responding to the requested additional information
request items may result in further additional information requests and delays in the certification of a modified
Attachment B. Therefore, read each requested item carefully, and provide the information that is requested as well as any
information that results from changes made as a result of this additional information request. If there is any question
about what additional information is being requested or is desired, please contact me at any time, and I will be happy to
provide additional explanation as required.
Please address the following item no later than July 23, 2005:
During the site visit performed by the Aquifer Protection Section of the Division's Asheville Regional Office, it
was noted that stream restoration work was being performed along the western boundaries of Frank Queen Site
Nos. Q-10, Q-15, and Q-16. Please clarify whether or not it is still desired to seek approval of these sites for
incorporation into this residuals land application program. It especially appears as if Site No. Q-10 would be
rendered unsuitable for residuals land application from additional buffers resulting from the restored stream.
However, if approval is still desired, the Division is prepared to approve each of these sites; however, their use
will be conditioned with the following requirement:
"At the time of approval of this mod f ed Attachment B, stream restoration work was being performed
along the western boundary of this land application site. It was uncertain how this work would affect the
proposed application area. If the currently -approved application area of this site changes as a result of
