ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

1) Land application logs for January 2016 through October 15, 2019 were submitted along with the
application for permit renewal. For Field 3 in 2016, the monthly application rate of 10,000 gal/ac for
November was exceeded. Records showed that 28,500 was applied to Field 3 in November of 2016. At a
monthly rate of 10,000 gal/ac, only 28,000 gallons should have been applied to Field 3 in November
(10,000 gal/ac * 2.8 ac = 28,000 gal).

In 2017 for Field 3, the monthly application rate of 5,000 gal/ac for December was exceeded. Records
showed that 16,000 gallons was applied to Field 3 in December of 2017. At a monthly rate of 5,000
gal/ac, only 14,000 gallons should have been applied to Field 3 in December (5,000 gal/ac * 2.8 ac =
14,000 gal).

The monthly amount applied to each field was typically significantly below the monthly application
rate. The maximum application rate was not exceeded for the site or any field from 2016 through
2019. Please watch the amount you apply each month so that you do not exceed your monthly
application rates.

2) Permit was issued on 08/21/2020 with an expiration date of 1/1/2025.
