ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1) The access roads to the disposal area were posted with the required signage that was visible and legible.
2) The roads accessing the site were passable. 3) The disposal area boundaries were marked on the ground visibly and were distinguishable from the surrounding landscape.
4) No discharges were noticed outside of the permitted boundaries. 5) Applications of septage were made in violation of the nutrient management plan (NMP) and 15A NCAC 13B .0842(a)(7) where extensive ponding of septage was observed on field 2 in ruts left after the application was
complete. Application methods should be modified to prevent ponding of septage after the applications are complete. 6) The warm season crop described by the nutrient management plan was mostly dormant, some evidence of winter overseeding was visible. All fields had areas with no actively growing crop stand. 7) No objectional odors where noticed. 8) Required setbacks appear to be met.
9) Land application records were received on 1/6/2023 for inspection. Required data was recorded. 10) The site of the NOV issued on 12/05/22 was inspected. Grass was planted and was emerging. Dried septage residuals (trash, stained soil) remained on the field. No written certification with supporting documentation on company letterhead confirming the noted compliance schedule has been completed was received form Atlantic OBX as requested.
