This inspection was conducted to verify that the facility is operating in compliance with the conditions and limitations specified in Non-discharge Permit No. WQ0031725. Please carefully review the comments and recommendations listed in the inspection report, specifically, those concerning the correct analytical methods for Ignitability & Corrosivity. If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 828-296-4686 or via email at mikal.willmer@ncdenr.gov.

Land application was carried out by Southern Soil Builders. Metals/nutrients/TCLP analyses were conducted according to permit requiremetns. Heavy metals ceiling concentration limits, Cumulative Pollutant Loading Rates (CPLR), TCLP limits and PAN loading rates appear to be compliant with permit limits. Phosphorous Index P-I is high for several fields according to the soils report; agronomist recommendations should be followed. Soils Analyses: Fields DP3C, DP5 & DP7 had pH's <6; lime was added to those fields. Pathogen Reduction was verified using Fecal Coliform Density: Geometric Mean was less than 2025 MPN/gram of total solids. Vector Attraction Reduction was verified using Alternative 1, 38% VS Reduction . Laboratory bench sheets should be submitted with the Annual Report. Ensure that the laboratory is using the correct method for Ignitability and Corrosivity.

Are GW samples from all MWs sampled for all required parameters? Are there any GW quality violations? Is GW-59A certification form completed for facility? Is a copy of current permit on-site? Are current metals and nutrient analysis available? Are nutrient and metal loading calculating most limiting parameters? a. TCLP analysis? b. SSFA (Standard Soil Fertility Analysis)? Are PAN balances being maintained? Are PAN balances within permit limits? Has land application equipment been calibrated? Are there pH records for alkaline stabilization? Are there pH records for the land application site? Are nutrient/crop removal practices in place? Do lab sheets support data reported on Residual Analysis Summary? Are hauling records available? Are hauling records maintained and up-to-date? # Has permittee been free of public complaints in last 12 months? Has application occurred during Seasonal Restriction window? Metals/nutrient data is for 2018 land application events. Metals results appear to be compliant with permit limits. Methods for Ignitability and Corrosivity appear to be incorrect. Corrosivity should be analyzed using Method SW846 9040C or 9045D depending on percent solids. The Ignitability analytical method is also dependent upon percent solids.
