Please note the following permit conditions have been removed since the last permit issuance
dated April 12, 2012:
Old Condition I.I. —Unnecessary.
➢ Old Condition 1.3. — Condition has been met.
i- Old Condition 1.4. — Condition has been met.
➢ Old Condition I.5. — Condition has been met.
In addition, during the review process, the Pertnittee requested changes in both this permit and
Permit No. WQ0000838. The requested changes and resulting actions are listed below:
1. Condition ILL — The Permittee requested addition of the word "prolonged" in the second
sentence:
"In the event the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of prolonged
nuisance conditions due to improper operation and maintenance, the Permittee shall
immediately cease..."
This is in agreement with 15A NCAC 02T .1109(b)(1)(B), and the wording has been changed.
2. Condition 11.3. — The Permittee requested addition of the following language:
"The Permittee shall be approved to accept new residuals source -generating facilities for land
application without prior application and receipt of a permit modification from the Division.
This approval, however shall be limited only to those facilities whose residuals' quantity and
quality would be unlikely to contain constituents that would exceed permit conditions.
Prior to accepting a new facility for land application, the Permittee shall complete the
following items for each facility:
• A verification of good compliance history with respect to quality of the residuals generated
by the owner/operator of the facility through a due diligence check
• A verification that the volume of residuals to be accepted will not cause the Permittee to
exceed its maximum land application volume as stipulated in the most recently -certified
Attachment B
• A verification that the residuals do not exceed the ceiling concentration of the nine metals
of concern as stipulated in Condition I.6. and Table 1 of 40 CFR Part 503.13
• Unless the facility is less than 0.5 Million Gallons per Day in design flow and treats 100
percent non -municipal, domestic wastewater only, a verification that the residuals do not
exhibit any of the four characteristics defined by 40 CFE Part 261.21 through 40 CRF
261.24 as evidenced by passing corrosivity, ignitability, reactivity, and toxicity
characteristic leaching procedure (see condition IV 2) and
• A notification to the Division's Raleigh Regional ice at telephone number (919) 792-
4200 at least 48 hours (i.e, during normal office hours from 8: 00 until 5: 00 pm on Monday
through Friday excluding State Holidays) prior to the initial acceptance of the residuals
so that an inspection can be made of the residuals land application program if desired.
No new facility shall be accepted unless all five of the above listed pre -acceptance are met.
The Permittee shall be responsible for documenting and maintaining records of the pre -
acceptance screening process for each new facility accepted for land application for a

minimum of five years. A copy of these records shall be submitted for review in conjunction
with a permit modification application package annually or before March 1st of each calendar
year so that the permit may be updated as stipulated in Condition IV.11,"
The Permittee cited Permit No. WQ0014843 as precedent. In the December 10, 2004 permit,
when this authority was granted, the following was stated in the letter to the Permittee from the
Division:
Note that the Permittee has been granted this approval because of its good compliance history,
its willingness to work with a third party technical consultant, as well as the fact that the
residuals are treatment and then sampled/monitored as a mixture prior to land application.
These conditions do not apply to this Permittee, and the requested changes have not been
approved.
3. Condition 11.8. — The Permittee requested addition of the following language as a note to the
table:
"*The setback requirement may be reduced to a minimum of 100 feet upon written consent of
the owner and approval from the Water Quality Regional Operations Section of the
appropriate Division's regional office in Attachment B of this permit."
The general idea is acceptable, but the following language is substituted:
"*In accordance with the Setback Waiver Agreement (FORM. SWA), the setback requirement
may be reduced to a minimum of 100 feet upon written consent of the owner of the property
until September 30, 2021 or until the owner sells the property, whichever comes first."
4. Condition I1.11.: The Permittee suggested the following language:
"When gleaning/pasturing occurs verb through computation that the nutrients deposited as
manure in afield does not exceed the nitrogen requirements of this permit."
The current language cites the November 16, 2002, USDA-NRCS 590 Nutrient Management
Standards. Since then, there has been a December 2014 update. The Biosolids Committee of
the NC AWWA will be proposing substitute language for the current language and any
potential change will be deferred until such time.
5. Condition 11.12.: The Permittee suggested the following language in the final sentence:
"If the second crop is to be planted for erosion control only and is to be tilled into the soil, the
additional PAN should be accounted for in the Nutrient Management Plan as "Green
Manure "."
Over -seeding and double cropping will be a topic that the Biosolids Committee of the NC
AWWA will be considering. For that reason, any potential change will be deferred until such
time.
6. Condition II.I4.: The Permittee suggested the second sentence be changed by striking the
words "as well as enforcement actions in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C."
By law, enforcement action would still be in accordance with North Carolina General Statute
143-215.6Athrough 143-215,6C. Taking this out would make enforcement implicit rather than
explicit. For that reason, the proposed change has not been made.
Mr. Jason A. Smith
October 10, 2016
Page 4 of 7
7. Condition IU.3.: The Permittee suggested striking the words "at least 24 hours" from the first
sentence.
Notification prior to land application is a subject that the Biosolids Committee of the NC
AWWA will be considering. For that reason, any potential change will be deferred until such
time.
8. Condition 1I1.3.: The Permittee suggested adding the words "not belonging or leased to the
Permittee" at the end of the first sentence.
This change is in keeping with Permit No. WQ0001730 and is permitted.
9. Condition 111.8.: The Permittee suggested the following sentence:
"Class B residuals listed in the most recently approved Attachment A of this permit shall not
be stored at any land application site, unless written approval has been requested and received
from the Division."
This change makes the condition more explicit without changing the condition. For that reason,
the proposed change has been made.
10. Condition III.8.: The Permittee suggested the following as a second sentence:
"Should Class A residuals, Compost, and/or Animal Waste be stored at these sites the storage
requirements of those residual permits be used."
These other residual sources are not part of this permit, and hence should not be mentioned in
this permit.
11. Condition 1119.: The Permittee suggested the word "reasonable" rather than "adequate" in this
condition.
Whether to use "reasonable" or "adequate" is a subject that the Biosolids Committee of the NC
AWWA will be considering. For that reason, any potential change will be deferred until such
time.
12. Condition III.10.: The Permittee suggested the following additional language highlighted
below:
"When the Permittee land applies bulk residuals, a suitable vegetative cover shall be
maintained on land application sites onto which residuals are applied unless the residuals are
incorporated within a 24-hour period following the residuals land application event or
injected, or application shall be in accordance with the crop management plan outlined by the
local Cooperative Extension Office, the Department ofAgriculture and Consumer Services, the
Natural Resource Conservation Service, or an agronomist and as approved by the Division."
This is a subject that the Biosolids Committee of the NC AWWA will be considering. For that
reason., any potential change will be deferred until such time.
Mr. Jason A. Smith
October 10, 2016
Page 5 of 7
13. Condition III. 11.a.: The Permittee suggested the following additional language highlighted
below:
"If the Permittee has reason to believe residuals are likely to adversely affect a threatened or
endangered species listed under section 4 of the Endangered Species Act or its designated
critical habitat;"
This is a subject that the Biosolids Committee of the NC AWWA will be considering. For that
reason, any potential change will be deferred until such time.
14. Condition 111.1 Lb.: The Permittee suggested the following substitute for the first sentence:
"Prior to the first land application event the soil pH was not maintained at a pH of 6, 0 or
greater using the most recent soil test results for lime application recommendations. A Soil
sample will be collected during the last quarter of the year and used for the next calendar year
in order to adjust for new lime recommendations unless sufficient amounts of lime are applied
to achieve a final sod pH of at least 6.0, or if an agronomist provides information indicating
that the pH of the soil, residuals and lime mixture is suitable for the specified crop."
This is a subject that the Biosolids Committee of the NC AWWA will be considering. For that
reason, any potential change will be deferred until such time.
15. Condition 111.11.i.: The Permittee suggested deleting the word "USDA" from the last sentence
because it is too restrictive since there are other non -till programs.
This is agreed to.
16. Condition 111.11 J.: The Permittee suggested the following substitute language:
"If the vertical separation between the seasonal high water table and the depth of residuals
application is less than one foot at the time of application noted by the ORC or the back-up
ORC by observing the static water table in a 3-inch auger hole that performed within the land
application field and has been allowed to equilibrate after I hr."
This is a subject appropriate for the Biosolids Committee of the NC AWWA to consider. For
that reason, any potential change will be deferred until such time.
17. Condition I11.13.: The Permittee suggested the following substitute condition with strikeouts
of existing language shown:
"In the event of that an entrance to a farm or field does not have a restrictive barrier (i. e. gate
or wire), public access controls shall include the posting of "No Trespassing" signs ivith
i�"asn in�tfi2 ure&'-43 sgwweTeet (e.g., 1-5 4-2-4
Ine. OF ap pheater; t r,.,,h o mum Signs shall be posted in a clearly visible and
conspicuous manner at the entrance to each land application site during a land application
event, and for as long as the public access restrictions required under Condition III.12. apply."
This is a subject appropriate for the Biosolids Committee of the NC AWWA to consider. For
that reason, any potential change will be deferred until such time.
18. Condition 1I1.13.: The Permittee suggested the following language as exactly in Permit No.
WQ0001730:
"For any fields contained in Attachment B that are not fenced, public access controls shall
include the posting of signs with a minimum area of 3 square feet (e.g., 1. S' x 2 )."
This is an appropriate change and one that is found not only in Permit No. WQ0001730.
Mr. Jason A. Smith

19. Condition 11I.15.: The Permittee suggested the following substitute first paragraph with
additions marked in bold and strikeouts of existing language shown:
"For each calendar year residuals are applied, The Permittee shall acquire from each
landowner or lessee%perator a statement detailing the volume of other nutrient sources (i. e"
manufactured fertilizers, manures, or other animal waste products) that have been applied to
the site that year, and a copy of the most recent Nutrient Management Plan (NMP) for those
operations where a NMP is required by the US Department of Agriculture — National
Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) or other State Agencies, The Permittee shall calculate
6dueivar a nutrient residual loading rates based on the provided information and use
appropriate reductions."
It is not a calendar year, but a 12 consecutive month period that is appropriate. In addition, it
is not only residuals that is to be considered but all nutrients. However, this is a matter that the
Biosolids Committee of the NC AWWA may consider. For that reason, any potential change
will be deferred until such time.
20. Condition IV.6.: The Permittee suggested the following substitute language:
"Laboratory parameter analyses shall be performed on the residuals from generating sources
listed in the most recently approved Attachment. An attempt will be made to collect the sample
prior to land application but will be done so before the end of the calendar year, and shall be
in accordance with the monitoring requirements in 15A NCAC 02B . 0505."
The problem with this is that if the laboratory tests are made after the application of the
residuals onto the land, then whatever is in the wastes will already be on the Iand and there is
no way to recover. Some other alternative may be a matter for the Biosolids Committee of the
NC AWWA to consider. Until such time, any potential change will be deferred until such time
though it will not be the one suggested.
21. Condition IV.7.: The Permittee suggested the following changes to the first sentence:
"The Permittee shall maintain records tracking all land application events occurring from
residuals generated by sources listed in the most recently approved AttachmentA of this permit.
At a minimum, these records shall include the following: "
This is a subject appropriate for the Biosolids Committee of the NC AWWA to consider. For
that reason, any potential change will be deferred until such time.
22. Condition IV.7.n.: The Permittee suggested the following substitute language:
"Annual and cumulative totals in dry tons per acre of residuals generated by sources listed in
the most recently approved Attachment A of this permit as well as animal waste and other
sources of nutrients (e.g,, if applicable). Annual pounds per acre of PAN, and annual pounds
per acre of phosphorus applied to each field. Annual and cumulative pounds per acre of each
heavy metal (e.g., shall include, but shall not be limited to, arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead,
mercury, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, and zinc) will only be tracked for residuals generated
by sources listed in the most recently approved AttachmentA of this permit."
This can be taken up in the Biosolids Committee of the NC AWWA. For now, any potential
change will be deferred.
23, Condition IV.9.: The Permittee suggested striking the words "the occurrence of from the first
paragraph.
This change is agreeable.
Mr. Jason A. Smith

24. Condition V.1.: The Permittee suggested substituting the word "fields" for "facilities."
This change is too restrictive. It is more than just fields that may be of interest.
25. Condition V.2.: The Permittee suggested the following substitute language for the first
sentence:
"Prior to each bulk residuals land application event, the Permittee or his designee shall inspect
the residuals transport and application sites and equipment that are part of the event to identify
and repair mabfunctions, facility deterioration and operator errors that could result in
discharges to the environment, be a threat to human health or create a public nuisance."
This is both more accurate and clearer. Thus, it is accepted.
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.

event. [15A NCAC 02T .0108(b)(1)]
WQ0035595 Version 2.0 Shell Version 151201 Page 3 of 13
10. Bulk residuals and other sources of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) shall not be applied in exceedance
of agronomic rates. Appropriate agronomic rates shall be calculated using expected nitrogen
requirements based on the determined Realistic Yield Expectations (RYE) using any of the following
methods:
a. Division's pre -approved site specific historical data for specific crop or soil types by calculating
the mean of the best three yields of the last five consecutive crop harvests for each field.
b. North Carolina Historical Data for specific crop and soil types as provided by North Carolina State
University Department of Soil Science (h ://nutrients.soil.ncsu.edu/ fields/indcx. h ). A copy
shall be kept on file and reprinted every five years in accordance with Condition IV.5.
c. If the RYE cannot be determined using methods (a) or (b) above, the Permittee may use the RYE
and appropriate nutrient application rates reported in any of the following documents:
i. Crop management plan as outlined by the local Cooperative Extension Office, the North
Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Natural Resource
Conservation Service, or other agronomist.
ii. Waste Utilization Plan as outlined by the Senate Bill 1217 Interagency Group - Guidance
Document: Chapter I
(http://www.neagr.aov/SWC/tech/documents/9th_Guidance Doc_100109.pdf).
iii. Certified Nutrient Management Plan as outlined by the Natural Resources Conservation
Services (MRCS). These plans must meet the USDA-NRCS 590 Nutrient Management
Standards ( ://-fe.se.e ov.usda. ov/NH / ractice-standards/standards/590. d
d. If the RYE and appropriate nutrient application rates cannot be determined, the Permittee shall
contact the Division to determine necessary action.
[I 5A NCAC 02T . 1109(b)(1)(k)]
11. When residuals are Iand applied to grazed pasture, hay crop realistic nitrogen rate shall be reduced by
25% in accordance with the USDA-NRCS 590 Nutrient Management Standards. [15A NCAC 02T
.0108(b)(1)]
12. If land application sites are to be over -seeded or double -cropped (e.g., bermuda grass in the summer
and rye grass in the winter with both crops to receive residuals), then the second crop can receive an
application of PAN at a rate not to exceed 50 pounds per acre per year (lbs/ae/yr). This practice may
be allowed as long as the second crop is to be harvested or grazed. If the second crop is to be planted
for erosion control only and is to be tilled into the soil, then no additional PAN shall be applied. [15A
NCAC 02T .0108(b)(1)]
13. Prior to land application of residuals containing a sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) of 10 or higher, the
Permittee shall obtain and implement recommendations from at least one of the following: 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. The
recommendations shall address the sodium application rate, soil amendments (e.g., gypsum, etc.), or a
mechanism for maintaining site integrity and conditions conducive to crop growth. The Permittee shall
maintain written records of these recommendations and details of their implementation. [ 15A NCAC
02T .0108(b)(1)]
WQ0035595 Version 2.0 Shell Version 151201 Page 4 of 13
14. These residuals land application sites were individually permitted on or after December 30, 1983;
therefore, the compliance boundary is established at either 250 feet from the residual land application
area, or 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is closest to the residual land application area.
An exceedance of groundwater standards at or beyond the compliance boundary is subject to
remediation action according to 15A NCAC 02L .0106(d)(2) as well as enforcement actions in
accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A through 143-215.6C. Any approved
relocation of the COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY will be noted in Attachment B. [15A NCAC 02L
.0107(a)]
15. The review boundary shall be established midway between the compliance boundary and the residual
land application area. Any exceedance of groundwater standards at the review boundary shall require
action in accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0106. [15A NCAC 02L .0108]
III. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. The residuals management program shall be properly maintained and operated at all times. The
