7. Land application areas shall be clearly marked on each site prior to and during any residuals
application event. [ 15A NCAC 02T .0108(b)(1)]
8. 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 (http://nutrients.soil.nesu.edu/yields/index,1)
A copy shall be kept on file and reprinted every five years in accordance with Condition 1V.6.
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:
WQ0012662 Version 3.0 Shell Version 150101 Page 3 of l 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 l
(http://www.neapr.p,ov/SWC/tech/documents/9th_Guidance Doc_100109.pdfl.
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(tp://ftp-fc.sc.egov.usda.gov/NHQ/practice-standards/standards/590.pdf),
d. If the RYE and appropriate nutrient application rates cannot be determined, the Permittee shall
contact the Division to determine necessary action.
[I5A NCAC 02T .1109(b)(I)(k)]
9. When residuals are land applied to grazed pasture, hay crop realistic nitrogen rate shall be reduced by
25% in accordance with the USDA-NRCS 590 Nutrient Management Standards. 115A NCAC 02T
.0108(b)(1)]
10. 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. [I5A
NCAC 02T .0108(b)(1)]
11. 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)]
12. 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. [I5A NCAC 02L
.0107(a)]
13. 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 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. [ 15A NCAC 02T .1110]

the regional supervisor shall be made from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday,
excluding State Holidays. [15A NCAC 02T .0108(b)(1)]
3. The Fayetteville Regional Office shall be notified via email or telephone, [phone], at least 24
hours prior to conducting any land application activity. Such notification shall indicate, at a
minimum, the anticipated application times, field IDs, and location of land application activities. If it
becomes necessary to apply to additional fields due to unforeseen events, the Regional Office shall be
notified prior to commencing the application to those fields. [15A NCAC 02T ,0108(b)(1)]
4. The Permittee shall maintain an approved Operation and Maintenance Plan (O&M Plan)
Modifications to the O&M Plan shall be approved by the Division prior to utilization of the new plan.
The O&M Plan, at the minimum, shall include:
a. Operational functions;
b. Maintenance schedules;
c. Safety measures;
d. Spill response plan;
e. Inspection plan including the following information:
i. Names and/or titles of personnel responsible for conducting the inspections;

residuals gathered during a particular sampling event. The sampling plan shall account for
any foreseen fluctuations in residuals quality and indicate the most Iimiting times for
residuals to meet pathogen reduction requirements (e.g. facilities that land apply multiple
times per year but have an annual sampling frequency, may need to sample during winter
months when pathogen reduction is most likely to be negatively affected by cold
temperatures).
[ 15A NCAC 02T .1100]
Upon the Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission's (WPCSOCC)
classification of the facility, the Permittee shall designate and employ a certified operator in
responsible charge (ORC) and one or more certified operators as back-up ORCs in accordance with

I. Maximum Dry Tons per Year is the amount of residuals approved for land application from each permitted facility.
2. Analyses to demonstrate that residuals are non -hazardous (i.e., TCLP, ignitability, reactivity, and corrosivity) as stipulated under permit Condition IV.2.
3. Testing of metals and nutrients as stipulated under permit Condition IV.3.
4. Because harvesting and processing occurs between July and October only, monitoring shall occur in September.
5. Food (peppers and sweet potato) processing residuals are exempt from meeting the pathogen and vector attraction reduction requirements in Condition IV.4, provided they are not mixed with
residuals that have been generated during the treatment of domestic wastewater, the treatment of animal processing wastewater, or the biological treatment of industrial wastewater. The food
(peppers and sweet potato) processing residuals must be treated and processed in a manner as to not meet the definition of `Biological Residuals" as defined in 15A NCAC 02T .1102(6).
If no land application events occur during a required sampling period (e.g. no land application occur during an entire year when annual monitoring is required), then no
sampling data is required during the period of inactivity. The annual report shall include an explanation for missing sampling data. Those required to submit the annual
report to EPA may be required to make up the missed sampling, contact the EPA for additional information and clarification.
