PARTICIPANTS: Chester Cobb (DWM) STATUS OF PERMIT: Active EXPIRES: 04/09/2024
PURPOSE OF SITE VISIT: Routine
STATUS OF PAST NOTED VIOLATIONS: No violations noted on the previous inspection report.

OBSERVED VIOLATIONS:
1) An application of septge occurred while I was on site. I checked the pH of the septage and it was
around a pH of 7. For domestic septage, the pH is required to be at a 12 for 30 minutes prior to
application. Failure for septage to be at a pH of 12 when land applied is a violation of Rule .0842(c)(1)
that states “domestic septage shall be treated in accordance with the requirements in 40 CFR 503 D
(including Appendix A and B) except that 503.33(b)(11) is not incorporated.” 40 CFR 503.32(c)(2) states
“the pH of domestic septage applied to agricultural land, forest, or a reclamation site shall be raised to
12 or higher by alkali addition and, without the addition of more alkali, shall remain at 12 or higher for
30 minutes…” Need to ensure that the septage is lime stabilized as required for land application.

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) This Septage Land Application Site consist of one – 10.5 field with fescue as the crop.
2) The required signage present as you enter the site.
3) The site is accessible. The access road was in good shape.
4) Markers present and visible.
5) No septage discharges noticed outside of the permitted boundary.
6) No ponding of septage, spot dumps or heavy applications noticed. No ruts noticed.
7) Application of septge occurred while I was on site. I checked the pH of the septage and it was around a
pH of 7. For domestic septage, the pH is required to be at a 12 for 30 minutes prior to application.
Failure for septage to be at a pH of 12 when land applied is a violation of Rule .0842(c)(1). Need to
ensure that the septage is lime stabilized as required based whether it is just domestic septage or if it
is mixed with grease trap pumpings. Also, need to check what the pH of the septage is to ensure that
the pH level is reached and that it is maintained for the time frame required.
8) Fescue present in the field. Bales still present on the field and along the field edges. Be sure that the
bales are removed from the site and not just stored along the edges of the field to rot.
9) No objectionable odors observed.
10) Setbacks appear to be compliant.
11) I received the soil report for the soil sample of the field taken last fall. Thank You.
