Distribution of Class A
Industrial Byproduct
Residuals
Richmond County
In accordance with your permit application request received April 16, 2018, we are forwarding
herewith Permit No. WQ0039924 dated June 28, 2018, to the von Drehle Corporation for the start-up and
operation of the subject residuals management program.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until May 31, 2023, and shall be subject to
the conditions and limitations as specified therein. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring
requirements listed in Attachment A. Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting and maintaining
the required operational information shall result in future compliance problems.
In response to questions raised during the review of the permit, the following responses were given:
1. Q: Condition II.2. How will the damages be assessed in the event of a "third" party or a
contractor?
A: Condition 111. 12 comes into play for part of the answer to this question. If the Permittee
knew of the overapplication and did not report it, the Permittee would bear part of the
responsibility. If the Permittee knew of the overapplication and did report it, the Permittee
would bear none of the responsibility. If the Permittee did not know, then it will become a
matter of demonstrating lack of knowledge with a presumption that the Permittee did not know.
2. Q: Condition II.5. Since von Drehle will have both a Class A and a Class B permit, can Class
A pathogen testing be utilized to meet Class B requirements for the Class B permit?
A: Yes, as long as they are less than a year old and it passes the Class A requirements.

3. Q: Condition II.6. Are these setbacks applicable to temporary 60 days' storage and if not are
there any additional requirements? Spelling treatment instead of reatment.
A: Yes the setbacks would apply to the temporary storage as well. The 60 days' storage would
be considered a temporary facility. And thanks for catching spelling error.
4. Q: Condition IV.6f. Application of this material will not be made based on the Agronomic
RYE rates. Use of these rates could provide a false justification of over -application.
A: This is a very valid point. Condition IV.6.f has been modified to account for a non -limiting
nutrient other than nitrogen.
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.
If you need additional information concerning this permit, please contact Troy Doby at (919) 807-
