STATUS OF PERMIT:
Active – permit expires January 1, 2024

PURPOSE OF SITE VISIT:
Routine

STATUS OF PAST NOTED VIOLATIONS:
Violation of Permit Condition 18 that was noted on the audit of 3/27/2020 has not been addressed – see below.

OBSERVED VIOLATIONS:
1. Permit Condition 18. Field separation 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. The required 10 foot setback from the field boundary to the neighboring vegetation needs to be
cut/back - reestablished along the entire perimeter of Field 2 (west & south sides). This has been an issue
noted in various audit reports. Also a field marker between the railroad and Field 1 is obstructed by
vegetation which needs to be removed.
2. Permit Condition 2. This site shall be operated and maintained in accordance with the nutrient management plan.
.0842(a)(17) Approved nutrient management plans shall be followed. Both disposal fields need cut asap in
regards to the 30 day wait after the last septage discharge event. The fields are tall with excessive weeds,
particularly Field 2. After this harvest the winter cover crops shall be established per the approved nutrient
management plan. Based on the tall grass & weeds it appears that the fields have not be managed/harvested in a
timely fashion this year and weed control was not utilized as needed. Also a lack of Bermuda was noted in some
areas of Field 2. It was noted on the audit of 3/27/2020 that Field 2 had thin/bare patches of groundcover.

3. .0842(a)(7) Septage shall be applied to the surface of the land from a moving vehicle as to have no standing liquid
or soil disturbance resulting from the waste flow after the discharge is complete. Areas of spot dumping and
heavy application were noted on Field 1. These matted areas need to be raked/broken loose to prevent crop
damage and allow the winter cover crop to become established when planted. Poor land application methods have
been an issue on previous audit reports.
4. Corrective actions shall be taken by October 23rd in regards to the observed violations noted here.

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.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. A follow up inspection will be performed after October 23rd in regards to the violations noted on this audit
report. During that time land application site logs will be reviewed/discussed as usual during this once a year
onsite meeting.
2. Excess vegetation has recently been cut away from around some of the field posts along the woodline, however
the overall vegetation has not yet been cut back to re-establish the boundary line which was requested on
previous audit reports.
3. The required signs are posted and the access road is adequate at this time.
4. No sign of land application outside the permitted boundaries. It appears that the approved setbacks are being
met but were not measured at this time. Field markers appear accurate.
5. No recent application. No odors noted. Older spray paths noted on Field 1.
6. Soil samples shall be taken by the permit holder by the end of this year. Also the training hours shall be
obtained (if the permit holder has not already attended a class).

Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.
