Facility Permit No.: SLAS-96-12 C & M Septic, Inc. Permit to Operate April 7, 2020 Page 2 of 4

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shall be rescinded unless the site is maintained and operated in a manner which will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 Michael Spurgeon and approved by the Division of Waste
Management. The 8.1 – acre site has been established in hybrid bermudagrass and may
be managed as one field or divided into two fields as Field 1 (3.7 acres) and Field 2 (4.4
acres). The bermudagrass shall be overseeded with annual ryegrass or small grains
during the months of September through October of each year. The planting and
harvesting of the crops shall follow the approved nutrient management plan. Areas that
fall below 80% in crop coverage shall be replanted as covered in the nutrient
management plan. The 30-day waiting period between the last application of septage
and the harvest of a crop shall be met by alternating septage applications between the
two fields or another permitted septage land application site. 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 Michael Spurgeon 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 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 contains approximately 8.1 acres that are available for land application of
septage. The maximum annual application rate shall be 50,000 gal/ac/yr. At this
application rate, a maximum annual volume of 405,000 gallons may be applied to this
site. 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 8,000 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 inadequate.

9. Only the area designated on the attached site map 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.

15. This permit shall expire on April 7, 2021. An application for permit renewal shall be
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
presentation of credentials, enter and inspect any property, premises, or place on or
related to the disposal site and facility at any reasonable time for the purpose of
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, residences, places of business, or places of public assembly. Also,
septage shall not be disposed of within 50 feet of any property line, within 100 feet of
