shall maintain written records of these recommendations and details of their implementation.
15. The compliance boundary for residual land application sites shall be specified in accordance with
15A NCAC 02L .0107(b). These 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(4)(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.
16. In accordance with 15A NCAC 02L.0108, 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.
M. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REOUIREMENTS
1. The residuals management program shall be properly maintained and operated at all times. The
program shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent any
contravention of surface water or groundwater standards.
