OBSERVED VIOLATIONS:
1) Septage was observed standing on the surface of Fields ST-1 and ST-2 in several areas as noted in the pictures below. This is a violation of Rule .0842(a)(7) that states “Septage shall be applied to the
surface of the land from a moving vehicle in a such a manner as to have no standing liquid or soil disturbance resulting from the waste flow after the discharge is complete.” Any remaining septage ponding needs to be incorporated into the permitted fields or vacuumed up. 2) Area of dead vegetation covered with a coating of grease septage was observed in ST-2 application
fields. Crop damage that occurs from applications is a violation of Rule .0842(a)(14) that states “Grease septage shall be diluted at least 1:1 from its concentration when pumped with domestic septage or water if land applied over perennial vegetation. This dilution shall be increased if crop damage occurs…” Any remaining septage needs to be incorporated and then a cover crop established within 30 days.
