Facility Permit No.: SLAS-67-05 Atlantic All-Pro Septic Tank Services Inc. Permit to Operate April 7, 2020 Page 2 of 5

CONDITIONS OF OPERATING PERMIT

1. This permit shall become void if the soils fail to adequately assimilate the septage and
shall be rescinded unless the site is maintained and operated in a manner which will
protect the assigned water quality standards of both surface and ground waters.

2. This site shall be operated and maintained in accordance with the nutrient management
plan submitted by Linda Melville and approved by the Division of Waste Management.
The 70.2 – acre is divided into eight (8) fields. Field 1 (4.8 acres), Field 2 (14 acres), Field
3 (1.8 acres), Field 3a (4.8 acres) and Field 4 (20.7 acres) are active and have been
established in Coastal Bermudagrass. Field 5 (7.1 acres), Field 6 (6.6 acres) and Field 7
(10.4 acres) are inactive and require the Division’s approval prior to use. The
bermudagrass in Fields 1, 2, 3, 3a, and 4 shall be over-seeded with annual ryegrass
between September 15 and November 15 of each year. Areas where the bermudagrass
stand falls below 80% in coverage shall be re-sprigged. The mandatory 30-day waiting
period between the last application of septage and the crop harvest shall be met by
alternating septage applications, the waiting period, and crop harvests among the five
(5) active fields. All discharges shall be at locations on the site consistent with the crop
rotation in the approved plan.

3. This site shall be operated and maintained in accordance with the erosion and runoff
control plan submitted by Linda Melville in such a manner as to prevent the migration of
wastes off the designated waste receiving site. A buffer of bermudagrass and ryegrass
shall be maintained around the perimeter of each field. Any site improvements noted in
the plan must be installed within 30 days of plan approval. The installation of
groundwater monitoring wells shall be required as deemed necessary by the Division.

4. The issuance of this permit does not preclude the Permittee from complying with any
and all statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances that may be imposed by other local,
state, and federal government agencies which have jurisdiction. It is the responsibility
of the Permittee to be in compliance with the Federal Regulations listed in the Code of
Federal Regulations, 40 CFR Part 503.

5. This permit may be modified or reissued at any time to incorporate any conditions,
limitations and/or monitoring requirements the Division deems necessary to adequately
protect the environment and public health.

6. This site is only permitted for the land application of domestic septage (including
portable toilet waste) and grease septage. The pH of domestic septage shall be raised
to 12 or higher by alkali addition and, without the addition of additional alkali, shall
remain at 12 or higher for 30 minutes prior to land application as per 15A NCAC 13B
.0842(c)(1). The pH of grease septage or grease septage mixed with domestic septage
shall be raised to 12 or higher by alkali addition and, without the addition of additional
alkali, shall remain at 12 or higher for 2 hours prior to land application as per 15A NCAC
13B .0842(c)(2). Grease septage shall be diluted as required by 15A NCAC 13B
.0842(a)(14) when applied over perennial vegetation.

7. This site currently has five (5) fields identified as Fields 1, 2, 3, 3a and 4 for an
approximate total of 46.1 acres that have been approved for land application of
septage. The maximum annual application rate shall be 50,000 gallons per acre per
year for a total maximum annual application amount of 2,305,000 gallons. Fields 5, 6,
and 7 are inactive and require the Division’s approval prior to any septage applications.
Application rates to each approved disposal field shall not exceed the maximum annual
application rate or the monthly application rates listed in the approved nutrient
management plan. The maximum annual application rate assumes equal septage
distribution, on an annual basis, over the entire permitted area.

8. An approved septage detention facility with a minimum design capacity of 44,500 gallons
shall be available prior to operation of this site as per 15A NCAC 13B .0838(a) unless an
approved wastewater treatment plant is available for use during periods of adverse
weather. The storage capacity may be adjusted if it is demonstrated during the operation
of the site that this volume of storage is inappropriate.

9. Only the area designated on the attached site map(s) shall be utilized for septage
disposal. Each load of septage discharged at the site shall be distributed from a moving
vehicle in such a manner that there is no standing water when the discharge is complete.

10. Septage shall not be applied during any precipitation event, or if there is standing water
on the soil surface, if the soil surface is frozen, or if the soil surface is snow covered. The
Permittee shall consider pending weather conditions when making the decision to land
apply in order to prevent any discharge of septage outside of the permitted boundary.

11. Septage shall not be applied during periods of high soil moisture. Septage applications
that will result in ruts greater than three inches in the soil surface are prohibited.

12. Any discharge of septage outside of the permitted boundaries via runoff, aerial drift, etc.
is prohibited.

13. This permit shall become void unless the land application activities are carried out in
accordance with the conditions of this permit and in the manner approved by this
Division. No one other than the Permittee or an employee of the firm named in this
permit shall discharge septage at this site without prior appropriate notification and
written approval from the Division.

14. Prior to any transfer of this land, a notice shall be given to the new owner that gives full
details of the materials applied or incorporated at this site. The Division shall be notified
prior to site closure. This permit is non-transferable.

submitted at least ninety (90) days prior to the permit renewal date. When necessary,
an application for permit modification shall be submitted for any proposed change listed
in 15A NCAC 13B .0840(g). Along with the application for permit renewal or modification,
septage application records for the time this permit was valid shall be submitted.

16. Records shall be kept in accordance with 15A NCAC 13B .0842(e)(1) and the Code of
Federal Regulations, 40 CFR Part 503.17(b) to document all septage applications to the
site. These records shall be made available to a representative of the Division upon
request.

17. Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the Division may, upon

determining compliance with this permit; may inspect or copy any records that must be
kept under the conditions of this permit; or may obtain samples of groundwater, surface
water, or leachate.

18. Field separations in the nutrient management plan and all pertinent setbacks shall be
clearly located on the site. Boundaries of the permitted septage land application fields
shall be clearly marked on the ground.

19. The areas that can be used for land application of septage shall be maintained to meet
the minimum setback distances as described in 15A NCAC 13B .0841(d) such as 500 feet
from any existing wells (unless a perennial forage buffer is established), residences,
places of business, or places of public assembly. Also, septage shall not be disposed of
within 10 feet of the woods bordering each field, within 25 feet of any paths, within 50
feet of any property line, within 100 feet of any ditch, or within 200 feet of any surface
