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shall be rescinded unless the site is maintained and operated in a manner which will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 Glenda Cannon and Scott Maready and approved by the Division of
Waste Management. The 8.8-acre site shall remain established in hybrid
bermudagrass. The bermudagrass shall be overseeded with rye in October or early
November of each year. Areas where the bermudagrass stands falls below 80% in
coverage shall be replanted in bermudagrass. The planting and harvest
recommendations 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 the
crop shall be met by alternating septage applications, the waiting period, and the harvest
of the crop between the permitted fields on this and other permitted sites. All discharges
shall occur within the permitted area and shall be 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 Glenda Cannon and Scott Maready in such a manner as to
prevent the migration of wastes off the designated waste receiving 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, grease septage,
and commercial/industrial septage. Commercial/industrial septage shall only be land
applied after the waste from each source is tested and the results approved by the
Solid Waste Section. 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 8.8 acres that are available for the land application of
septage. The maximum annual application rate shall be 50,000 gallons per acre per
year, for a total, maximum annual application of 440,000 gallons. The maximum annual
application rate assumes equal septage distribution, on an annual basis, over the entire
permitted area. 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.

8. An approved septage detention facility with a minimum design capacity of 9,000 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.
