Caswell County
Dear Mr. Smith:
In accordance with your pert -nit application package received on February 15, 2005 for review under the
Division of Water Quality's (Division) express review program; the additional information received on February 18,
2005 and March 1, 2005; as well as the draft permit comments received on March 3, 2005; we are forwarding
herewith Permit No. WQ0028547, dated March 15, 2005, to Town of Yanceyville. for the subject residuals land
application program.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until February 28, 2010 and shall be subject to the
conditions and limitations as specified therein. Make note of this permit's expiration date and the fact that a permit
renewal application is due to the Division no later than six months prior to that date (i.e., see Condition VI. 7.), as
the Division does not send reminders to apply for permit renewal.
Please take the time to review this permit thoroughly. Pay particular attention to the monitoring
requirements in this permit. Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required
operational information will result in future compliance problems. Of special interest to you may be the following:
a Condition II. 12. of the Permit: This condition requires that a suitable vegetative cover be maintained
on land application sites onto which residuals are land applied. It was noted during the site visit
conducted during the review of this permit application package that Site Nos. NC-CS-81-04 and NC-
CS-81-09 were in need of improvement to the existing vegetative cover.
♦ Footnote b of Attachment A: Since much of the residuals from both certified residuals source -
generating facilities to be land applied in 2005 have been generated and stockpiled through at least
2004 (and possibly earlier) and since the residuals characterizations perforted at the end of 2004 Were
representative of those stockpiles, the Division will accept the results from the 2004 residuals
characterizations for any land application event performed for either facility in 2005. This exception is
allowed only if one land application event for each facility is performed in 2005 as well as if the event
is initiated within 90 calendar days of this permit's issuance. Note, however, that, certain strict federal
monitoring requirements apply to the residuals generated by the Yanceyville W WTP per 40 CFR Part
503. While you are exempted from performing additional testing for metals and verification of the
pathogen reduction and vector attraction requirements in 2005 from the standpoint of this State -issued
permit provided the conditions stipulated in the permit are met, you may not be exempt in terms of
complying with the federal regulations. Therefore, you may want to contact a representative from
Region IV of the United States Environmental Protection Agency to confirm the acceptability of
the State's approval to ensure federal compliance.

♦ Footnote a of Attachment 13: Three of the land application sites certified to this probram have been
transferred from Permit No. WQ0008195, issued on March 12, 2003 to Agri -South Biosolid Services,
Inc (i.e., Site Nos. NC-CS-80-01, NC-CS-80-03, and NC-CS-80-04), One of the sites, Site No. NC-
CS-80-03, has been reconfigured from two sites that were treated separately under the previous permit.
While the cumulative pollutant loading rates for all of the transferred sites should be continued, this
footnote condition requires that the highest cumulative loading rate for each metal to be used for the
entire site in its modified configuration.
♦ Footnote c of Attachment B, This footnote condition requires that a buffer be provided around cattle
feeding areas that are present on Site Nos_ NC-CS-81-02, NC-CS-81-03, and NC-CS-81-07 unless the
vegetative cover is improved. It is noted that the net acreages that are reported for these land
application sites do not take into account such a buffer and warns that the values need to be adjusted
for the purpose of calculation appropriate application volurnes as well as for reporting_
If any parts, requirements, and/or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the right
to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within 30 days receipt of this permit. This request shall be
in the from of a written petition, conforming to Chapter I SOB of the North Carolina General Statutes and filed with
the Office of Administrative Hearings at 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714. Unless
such demands are made, this permit shall be final and binding.

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 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. 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 11. 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.

The Permittee shall apply for and receive a modification of this pen -nit before land applying
residuals on any Iand application site that is to be established in a crop other than those listed
above. A maximum PAN loading rate for the desifed crop shall be approved with the pen -nit
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 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 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. AnimaIs shall not be grazed on any Iand 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.
6

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 Iess than four months prior to incorporation into the soil_
19. Turf shall not be harvested for one year after any residuals Iand application event
20. Adequate provisions shall be taken to prevent wind erosion and surface runoff from conveying
residuals froth 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. ResiduaIs shall not be land applied to any land application site that is flooded, frozen, or
snow-covered.
26. Appropriate measures shall be taken to control public access to the land application sites
during active site use and for the 12-nmonth 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
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.
7

2. Residuals generated by each residuals source -generating facility listed in the most -recently -
certified Attachment A of this permit shall be analyzed to demonstrate that they are non-
hazardous under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). A corrosivity,
ignitability, and reactivity analysis as well as a Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure
(TCLP) analysis shall be conducted on residuals generated by each residuals source -
generating facility listed in the most recently -certified Attachment A of this permit. The
analyses shall be performed at the frequency specified in the most recently -certified
Attachment A of this permit, and the results shall be maintained on file by the Peniiittee for a
minimum of five years. If residuals generated by a particular residuals source -generating
facility are land applied at a frequency less than that which is specified in the most recently -
certified Attachment A of this permit, the analyses shall be required for each residuals land
application event. Only residuals that are generated by the residuals source -generating
facilities that are identified as being exempt from this condition in the most recently -certified

After the residuals generated by a particular residuals source -generating facility have been
monitored for two years at the frequency specified in the most recently -certified Attachment A
of this permit, the Pennittee may submit a request to the Division for a permit modification to
reduce the frequency of this monitoring requirement. In no case, however, shall the frequency
of this monitoring be less than once per year when a residuals land application event of
residuals generated by the residuals source -generating facility occurs during that year.
4. Residuals generated by each residuals source -generating facility Iisted in the most recently -
certified Attachment A of this permit shall be monitored for compliance with Condition 1. 7.
.The monitoring shall be performed at the fi-equency specified in the most recently -certified
Attachment A of this permit, and data to verify pathogen and vector attraction reduction of the
residuals shall be maintained on file by the Pennittee for a minimum of five years. The
required data shall be specific to the stabilization process utilized, but also shall be sufficient
to demonstrate clear compliance with the Class A pathogen reduction requirements in 40 CFR
Part 503.32(a) or the CIass B pathogen reduction requirements and site restrictions in 40 CFR
Part 503.32(b) as well as one of vector attraction reduction requirements in 40 CFR Part
503.33. In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certification statements
concerning compliance with pathogen reduction requirements, vector attraction reduction
requirements, and management practices shall be completed at the frequency specified in the
most recently -certified Attachment A of this pen -nit by the proper authority or authorities, if
more than one is involved (i.e., either the person who prepares the residuals, the person who

in no case more than 24 hours or on the next working day following the occurrence or first
knowledge of the occurrence of 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 fetter form
within five days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report shall outline the

IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
1. 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.
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.

Applicable Boundary Requirements:
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 Iand application site is established at either 250 feet from
the residuals land application area or 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is
closest to the residuals land application area. An exceedanee 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 Iand
application area. Any exceedanee 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.
V. INSPECTIONS
1. 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, and discharges that may cause or lead to the release of wastes to
the environment, a threat to human health, or a nuisance. The Permittee shall maintain an
inspection log or summary including at least the date and time of inspection, observations
made, and any maintenance, repairs, or corrective actions taken by the Perrittee. This log of
inspections shall be maintained by the Pennittee for a period of five years from the date of the
inspection and shall be made available to the Division or other permitting authority, upon
request.
2. Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the Division may, upon
presentation of credentials, enter and inspect any property, premises, or place on or related to
the Iand application sites or facilities at any reasonable time for the purpose of determining
compliance with this permit; may inspect or copy any records that must be kept under the
temis and conditions of this permit; and may obtain samples of groundwater, surface water, or

With this permit issuance, all or part of this land application site has been reconfigured from that which was originally permitted by the Division. The Permittee shall take
the highest cumulative poilutant loading rate for each metal (i,e., see Condition 11. 8.) that has been recorded to date on any portion orthe site under the originally -permitted
configuration and apply it to the entire site in the modified configuration.
A reduced buffer from a residence under separate ownership has been approved for this land application site. Residuals may be land applied to within 150 feet of the residence
of Mr. James Brian Williamson at 8205 NC Hwy. 86, Yanceyville, NC 27379, regardless of whether a surface or a subsurface application method is used.
This land application site has a cattle feeding area that shal I be buffered out unless the area is established with a suitable vegetative cover prior to a land application event,
If the buffer option is used, note that the presented net acreage value does not take this buffer into account and, therefore, needs to be adjusted for the purpose of calculating
appropriate application volumes as well as for reporting in accordance with this permit.
