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shall be rescinded unless the site is maintained and operated in a manner which will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 Randy Register and approved by the Division of Waste Management.
The 11-7-acre site shall be divided into two fields known as Field 1 (5.9 acres) and Field
2 (5.8 acres). Septage shall only be applied to the fields planted in millet during the
summer and to the fields planted in rye or other small grain in the winter. The planting
and harvest of the crops shall be followed as outlined in the nutrient management plan.
The 30-day waiting period between the last application of septage and the harvest of a
crop shall be observed if the hay is going to be used for livestock. 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 Randy Register in such a manner as to prevent the migration
of wastes off the designated waste receiving site. A 50-foot vegetative buffer shall be
maintained around the perimeter of the site. 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. 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).

7. This site contains approximately 11.7 acres that are available for land application of
septage. The maximum annual application rate shall be 50,000 gal/ac/yr for a total
maximum annual application volume of 585,000 gallons for the entire site. Application
amounts to each 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 11,500
gallons, as per 15A NCAC 13B .0838(a), shall be available prior to operation of this site
unless an approved disposal option is available for use when land application of septage
is prohibited. 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.

site. These records shall be made available to a representative of the Division upon
