observed on Field 6b. Field 6b was observed to be sown in wheat and not fescue as required by the NMP.

In order to resolve the violations and come into compliance with 15A NCAC 13B .0838 (a) (18) and 15A NCAC 13B
.0838 (a) (19), Billingsley Septic Tank Co. was required to complete the following:

established and approval has been given by the Section for land application to occur. This has been done.
b. By March 19, 2018, submit in writing an explanation of the current crop stand on each field and any reseeding plans in 2018 or 2019 and include a clarification of which fields shall be used for land application during this time to Troy Harrison. This has yet to be completed and the violation cannot be resolved until
this is done. Please submit the information for 2019 as soon as possible to: [e-mail]

OBSERVED VIOLATIONS:
N/A

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. The Septage Land Application Site consists of four fields totaling approximately 30.17acres. Field 5A contains 8.01 acres, Field 5B contains 4.88 acres, Field 6A contains 9.74 acres and Field 6B contains 7.54 acres.
2. The site is permitted for land application of domestic septage and grease septage.

3. The site is located at the end of Penn Road and has accessible all-weather roads to the site and septage land application fields covered under the permit.

4. Appropriate signage was displayed at the entrance to the fields.
5. Disposal area boundaries were delineated with permanent markers.
6. All septage discharges appear to have been made within the disposal area boundary.

7. There is no evidence of standing liquid or pooled waste. There was some erosion in field 6b, which had been recently planted. The waste appeared to be evenly distributed throughout Fields 5a and 6a. As a reminder, the
current nutrient management plan (NMP) requires reseeding if the crop stand is less than 90% ground cover. 8. Fields 5a and 5b were being used for land applications.
9. Fields 6b and 5b have been tilled and reseeded with fescue. Fescue is the only crop approved by the
NMP. Any other crop will require a modification of the NMP.

The item(s) listed above were observed by Section staff and require action on behalf of the facility in order to come into or maintain compliance
with the Statutes, Rules, and/or other regulatory requirements applicable to this facility. Be advised that pursuant to N.C.G.S. 130A-22, an administrative penalty of up to $15,000 per day may be assessed for each violation of the Solid Waste Laws, Regulations, Conditions of a Permit, or Order under Article 9 of Chapter 130A of the N.C. General Statutes. Further, the facility and/or all responsible parties may also be subject to enforcement actions including penalties, injunction from operation of a solid waste management facility or a solid waste collection service and any such further relief as may be necessary to achieve compliance with the North Carolina Solid Waste Management Act and Rules.

Field 5b 10. No objectionable odors were observed. 11. Land application logs were reviewed. Records for this field and those covered under SLAS-79-06 are
maintained in the same log; however, the entries between fields were not distinguishable. In addition, the year was not marked. On 10/29/2018, logs with the fields were identified that were used for land applications and
the year. In the future the logs must include the fields that are being land applied and the year. 12. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.
