Application Program
Land Application of Residual Solids (503 Exempt)
Chatham County
Dear Mr. Peterson:
In accordance with your application received on September 22, 2003 as well as the additional information
received March 5, 2004; April 20, 2004; and May 14, 2004; we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0023197,
dated July 9, 2004, to the Honeywell International, Inc. for the operation of the subject alum residuals land
application program.
This permit is being issued to approve one-time land application of 426 dry tons of alum residuals
removed from the lagoon and stockpiled on site on 17 acres of land in Chatham County.
Please make note of the following items in response to your May 7, 2004 comments on the draft permit
issued by this Division:
1. The effective date for this permit is for five years from the date of its issuance. Because you intend to land
apply the stockpiled residuals in a one time event, you may apply for the rescission of this permit upon
completion of such activity. However, we recommend that residuals management be conducted on a
continual basis by developing a long-term residuals management plan.
2. Condition II. 2. of this permit requires a certified land application/residuals operator to be in responsible
charge (ORC) and a certified back-up operator upon classification of this residuals land application
program by the Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC).
3. Condition M. 2. and Condition M. 3. require an annual testing of hazardous characteristics, metals and
other nutrients. The Division will accept the results from the residuals characterization performed in
anticipation of applying for this permit for any land application year during this permit cycle as long as
land application is limited to those residuals that were removed from the lagoon and stockpiled on Site
No. HWFS should any other generated residuals require land application, annual characterization shall be
necessary- However, the analysis of the remaining TCLP compounds (i.e., herbicides and pesticides),
which were not included in the Form RSCA 02102 of the permit application package shall be completed
prior to initiating any land application event.
4. Condition U. 6- requires a standard soil fertility analysis. You have requested an addition of plant tissue
for nutrients and extractable aluminum to the list of parameters to be tested. The Division has not added
these parameters to the list of those required by this permit; however, you may and should follow the
recommendation of your technical consultant with regard to this issue.

5. Condition VI. 8. states that the permit is not automatically transferable. Should there be a change in
ownership or name of the Permittee, a Permit Name/Ownership Change (FORM: PNOCF 06100) must be
filed with the Division and a formal approval must be granted by the Division for such change in permit
name or ownership to be effective.
Finally, the Division would like to provide a few notes of caution on residuals application activities
approved by this permit:
1. One of the land application sites (i.e., Site No. HWFS) has a soil pH of less than 6.0. Please note that
Condition 1. 9. of this permit requires a minimum soil pH of 6.0 to provide for optimum crop growth and
prevent leaching of aluminum, and should be adjusted accordingly through the use of liming amendments.
2. Because the Site No. HATS also appeared to have topsoil stripped off from its surface, it is recommended
that Site No. HWFN shall primarily be used for land application, if possible without exceeding the
recommended agronomic rates. In any case, Site No. HWFS shall be used only for one time application
event.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until June 30, 2009 and shall be subject to the
conditions and limitations as specified therein. Please 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 pernut 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, NC 27699-6714. Unless
such demands are made, this permit shall be final and binding.
If you need additional information concerning this matter, please contact J R Joshi at (919) 733-5083
extension 363, or via e-mail atjaya.joshi@ncmail.net.

10. Should any of the residuals generated by the residuals source -generating facilities listed in the most
recently -certified Attachment A of this permit contain a high salt content (i.e., high sodium
adsorption ratio (SAR) of five or higher), the exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) or other method
as approved by the Division, using the results from the annual soils analysis as required by this
permit, shall be monitored on all of the land application sites. The local Cooperative Extension
Office, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Natural Resource Conservation
Service, a North Carolina -licensed Soil Scientist, or other agronomist shall review the results and
make recommendations regarding soil amendments (e.g., gypsum, etc.) or other ameliorative
mechanism for maintaining the integrity of the site in terms of suitability for land application of
residuals and maintaining conditions conducive to crop growth. The Permittee shall implement such
recommendations accordingly and shall maintain written records of each monitoring event that
includes details of the sites covered and rate of soil amendment application.
11. Prior to land applying residuals to any land application site that has previously received or is intended
to receive animal waste (e.g., poultry litter, etc.) or other source of nutrients (e.g., fertilizer, etc.) in
the future, the Permittee shall obtain information pertaining to the volume and analysis of the applied
wastelnutrients 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 H.13.) 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 land applied to the site.
12. A suitable vegetative cover, as listed in Condition II. 13., shall be maintained on land application
sites onto which residuals are land applied in accordance with the crop management plan outlined by
the local Cooperative Extension Office, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the
Natural Resource Conservation Service, or other agronomist and as approved by the Division.
13. Residuals and other sources of PAN shall be land applied to all land application sites at agronomic
rates in accordance with the crop management plan outlined by the local Cooperative Extension
Office, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Natural Resource
Conservation Service, or other agronomist. Under no circumstances shall the following PAN loading
rates land applied to any site exceed the following for the specified crops:

The Permittee shall apply for and receive a modification of this permit before land applying residuals
on any land application site that is to be established in a crop other than those listed above. A
maximum PAN loading rate for the desired crop shall be approved with the permit modification.
If the land application sites are to be overseeded (e.g., bermuda grass in the summer and rye grass in
the winter with BOTH crops to receive residuals), then the second crop shall receive an application of
PAN at a rate of no greater than 50 pounds per acre per year. This practice shall be allowed as long
a5 fulic second crop is to be harvested. 1f the second crop is to be planted for erasion control only and
is to be tilled into the soil, then no residuals shall be land applied to these sites because the PAN will
essentially be returned to the soil.
Residuals shall not be land applied at rates greater than agronomic rates, unless authorized by the
Division.
14. Animals shall not be grazed on any land application site for 30 days after any residuals land
application event. Sites that are to be used for grazing shall have fencing that will be used to prevent
access after each event.
15. Food crops, feed crops, and fiber crops that do not come in contact with the residuals shall not be
harvested for 30 days after any residuals land application event.
16. Food crops with harvested parts that touch the residual/soil mixture and are totally above the land
surface (e.g., tobacco, melons, cucumbers, squash, etc.) shall not be harvested for 14 months after any
residuals land application event.
17. Food crops with harvested parts below the surface of the land (i.e., root crops such as potatoes,
carrots, radishes, etc.) shall not be harvested for 20 months after any residuals land application event
when the residuals remain on the land surface for four months or longer prior to incorporation into
the soil.
18. Food crops with harvested parts below the surface of the land shall not be harvested for 38 months
after any residuals land application event when the residuals remain on the land surface for less than
four months prior to incorporation into the soil.
19. Turf shall not be harvested for one year after any residuals land application event.
20. Adequate provisions shall be taken to prevent wind erosion and surface runoff from conveying
residuals from the land application sites onto adjacent properties or into any surface waters.
21. Adequate procedures shall be provided to prevent surface runoff from carrying any land applied or
stored residuals into any surface waters.
22. Surface -applied residuals shall be plowed or disced within 24 hours after land application on land
application sites with no cover crop established.
23. For land application sites that are prone to flooding or within the 100 -year flood elevation, residuals
shall be land applied only during periods of dry weather. The residuals shall be incorporated into the
soil within 24 hours after land application.
24. Residuals shall not be land applied during inclement weather or until 24 hours following a rainfall
event of 0.5 -inch or greater in 24 hours. Any emergency residuals land application measures shall
first be approved in writing by the Division.
25. Residuals shall not be land applied to any land application site that is flooded, frozen, or snow-
covered.
5
26. Appropriate measures shall be taken to control public access to the land application sites during
active site use and for the 12 -month period following the last residuals land application event. Such
controls may include the posting of signs indicating the activities being conducted at each site.
111. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
1. Any monitoring (i.e., including groundwater, surface water, residuals, soil, or plant tissue analyses)
deemed necessary by the Division to ensure protection of the environment shall be established, and
an acceptable sampling and reporting schedule shall be followed.
2. Residuals generated by each residuals source -generating facility listed in the most -recently -certified

any of the following:
a. Any occurrence with the residuals land application program that results in the land application of
significant amounts of residuals that are abnormal in quantity or characteristic.
b. Any failure of the residuals land application program resulting in a release of material to
receiving waters.
c. Any time that self-monitoring information indicates that the residuals land application program
has gone out of compliance with the conditions and limitations of this permit or the parameters on
which the program system was designed.
d. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that render the residuals land
application program incapable of adequate residuals treatment.
e. Any spillage or discharge from a vehicle or piping system transporting residuals to the application
site.
Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in letter form within
five days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report shall outline the actions taken or
proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem does not recur.
GROUNDWATER REOUIREMENTS
Land Application Site Requirements:
a. Each land application site identified with a GW -A in the most recently -certified Attachment B of
this permit is dominated by soils with a mean seasonal high water table greater than three feet
below the land surface. Residuals land application events may occur on these sites throughout
the year.
V.
b. Each land application site identified with a GW -B in the most recently -certified Attachment B of
this permit is dominated by soils with a mean seasonal high water table between one and three
feet below the land surface. Residual land application events on these sites shall be prohibited
from December through March, inclusive. No residuals shall be land applied to these sites when
the vertical separation between the depth of residuals land application and the water table is less
than three feet. The actual water table depth for seasonally -restricted soils shall be verified by
soil borings within 24 hours prior to any residuals land application event that occurs from April
through November, inclusive. The number of borings advanced shall be sufficient to characterize
water table conditions across the land application site adequately. Any open borings shall be
properly filled with native soil, prior to the residuals land application event, to decrease the
chance of any residuals contaminating the groundwater.
2. Applicable Boundary Requirements:
a. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for residuals land application programs is specified by
regulations in 15A NCAC 2L (i.e., "Groundwater Classifications and Standards"). The
Compliance Boundary for each land application site is established at either 250 feet from the
residuals Iand application area or 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is closest to
the residuals land application area. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or
beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to immediate remediation action according to 15A
NCAC 2L.0106 (d)(2).
b. The REVIEW BOUNDARY shall be established around each land application site midway
between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the residuals land application area. Any
exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at the Review Boundary shall require action in
accordance with 15A NCAC 2L .0106 (d)(2).
Additional Requirements:
a. Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be provided.
L Prior to each residuals land application event, the Permittee or his designee shall inspect the residuals
storage, transport, and application facilities to prevent malfunctions and deterioration, operator errors,
