Distribution of Class A Residuals
Carteret County
Dear Mr. Hamilton:
I-)ee F' eemar.
In accordance with your permit application request received May 19, 2010, and subsequent
additional information received July 1, 2010 and September 27, 2010, we are forwarding herewith Permit
No. WQ0034842, dated November 23, 2010, to the Town of Morehead City for the operation of the
subject residuals management program.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until December 31, 2016, and shall be
subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein. Please pay particular attention to the
monitoring requirements listed in Attachments A of this permit. Failure to establish an adequate system
for collecting and maintaining the required operational information shall result in future compliance
problems. In particular, please review the following conditions;
➢ Condition II.8. — regarding setbacks for land application of bulk residuals. The permit
condition also defines "cake" residuals as residuals that have greater than 15010 solids by
weight. It should be noted that the lab report submitted with the permit application indicates
total solids content at 14.3%. Therefore, the residuals would be considered liquid and more
stringent setbacks would apply. Please make sure the appropriate setbacks are used when land
applying bulk residuals.
➢ Condition III.8. and 9. — regarding utilization agreement requirements.
If any parts, requirements or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, the Permittee
has the right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within 30 days following receipt of
this permit. This request shall be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the
North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings at 6714 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-6714. Unless such demands are made, this permit shall be final and
binding.
