as covered in the nutrient management plan. The mandatory 30-day waiting period
between the last application of septage and the harvest of the crop shall be met by
utilizing an alternative approved disposal location. 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 Jonathan Pate 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.

Re: Request for Approval Letter for Septage Land Application Site on Pender County PIN:
2278-26-0911-0000

Jonathan,

The Pender County Department of Planning & Community Development has reviewed your
request for a zoning approval letter regarding a proposed septage land application site on the
above-referenced parcel pursuant to 15A NCAC 13B .0840(c)(24). Assuming that the proposed
septage land application facility will be used to provide nutrients to crops located on the
above-referenced parcels, as contemplated 15A NCAC 13B .0840, the proposed use would be
exempt from Pender County’s Unified Development Ordinance as a bona fide farm, pursuant
to G.S. 153A-340(b)(1) & (2). Accordingly, the facility would not be subject to Pender County’s
zoning regulations.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone] or
[e-mail].

Sincerely,

Carlene Shaw

RE:Soil Evaluation of a portion of PIN# 2278-16-0911-0000, located Bell Williams Road,
Pender County, North Carolina.
Dear Mr. Pate:
On September 12, 2019, I made a site visit to evaluate a portion of the above-mentioned tract to
help determine the suitability of the soils on site for the land application of septage. The North
Carolina Septage Management Rules, 15A NCAC 13B, Sections .0830-.0846 were used as a
guideline for making this evaluation.
The attached Preliminary Soil Suitability Map shows the location of features that require a setback
to septage land application sites on the subject tract and the adjacent properties. Shown is the
residence at 1864 Bell Williams Road, two ponds on the subject tract, adjacent wetland areas, and
a stream on the subject tract. A black line shown on the map shows the setbacks required to these
features in addition to the required 50' property line setback. Please note that a existing well was
located on the property at 1864 Bell Williams Road. If a well is on the property, it will require a
500' setback.
Wetlands were evaluated using the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (C.O.E.) Wetlands Manual -
1987 edition and the Regional Supplement for the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plain Region.
Wetlands were identified using a three-parameter approach incorporating soils, vegetation, and
hydrological indicators. The edge of the wetland was located using my cell phone GPS. Also
located was the edge of the stream channel. Both are shown with Blue and Purple points on the
attached map. All other features that require a setback were located by using an aerial photo and
the GIS boundary for the property.
Hand auger borings were placed at multiple locations on the property to depths of two feet or
more. Based on these borings, the attached Preliminary Soil Map was created. This map shows
two different soil map units. The areas shown in “Green” contain the Autryville, Goldsboro, and
Norfolk Soil Series, with Group II soils textures and a soil wetness condition greater than 24"
and/or Group III soil textures with a soil wetness condition greater than 18" , as evident by the
presence of chroma 2 or less soil colors or mottles. The area shown in “Pink” contains the Rains
Soil Series, with seasonal high water table depths closer to the ground surface than required,
which is less than 18" or 24" given the soil texture at that boring location. Also shown on the map
are six soil boring locations, where detailed soil profile descriptions were performed
The detailed soil profile descriptions for boring locations X1 through X6 are attached, along with
an abbreviations sheet. Below is a summary chart of each boring.
Boring #Textural Group Soil Wetness Condition (in)
X1 I&III 42
X2 I&III >48
X3 III 26
X4 I&III 36
X5 I&III >48
X6 I 24
All of the areas shown in “Green” on the attached Preliminary Soil Map meet the requirements for
the land application of septage with respect to the depth of the soil wetness condition and required
setbacks.
A composite soil sample was collected for each location at X1 and X2 from the upper 3" of the
soil profile and sent to the NCDA&CS lab for a standard soil fertility analysis and heavy metals
analysis. The lab results are attached along with Nitrogen and Potassium recommendations for a
crop of coastal bermuda hay. Also, note that there was an elevated level of lead (Pb) at X2, but it
should not pose a concern for plant growth.
If your have any questions or concerns, please contact me at [phone], [phone], or by
e-mail at [e-mail].
