Harnett County Public Utilities Director Steve Ward requested approval of a Services Agreement
for Leachate Disposal for Charah, Inc. of Chatham County. Mr. Ward noted the leachate would
be treated and disposed of at the South Harnett Waste Water Treatment Plant. Mr. Ward had
previously discussed going through a Headworks analysis at the South Harnett plant and issuing
an industrial user permit which the state was reviewing at that time. He said this has since taken
place; the state has reviewed the draft permit and is okay with it and he would like to go forward
with the agreement.
Mr. Ward said this is coal ash leachate from Charah's facility in Brickhaven which is in Chatham
County. He said they will treat the coal ash leachate at the waste water treatment plant and then
dispose of the biosolids like they do everything else. Mr. Ward said the permit is an annual
permit and they will review after every year what affects take place on the biosolids. He said he
doesn't see any issues with this but they will constantly be reviewing what happens from the
treatments of this leachate. Mr. Ward noted the agreement allows them the ability to stop if they
deem it to be detrimental to the biosolids.
Mr. Ward responded that the he doesn't foresee any environmental issues but that is why they
have the protocols in place in the agreement. He said the biosolids are taken and disposed of at
the landfill in Sampson County so they will be working with the landfill as well. Mr. Ward also
noted Sanford is also doing this. Commissioner Elmore moved to approve the services
agreement as presented. Vice Chairman Miller seconded the motion which passed unanimously.
