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shall be rescinded unless the site is maintained and operated in a manner which will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 Linda Melville and approved by the Division of Waste Management.
The 46.1-acre site has been established in Coastal Bermudagrass and is divided into five
(5) fields labeled as Field 1 (4.8 acres), Field 2 (14 acres), Field 3 (1.8 acres), Field 3a (4.8
acres) and Field 4 (20.7 acres). The fields shall be overseeded in annual ryegrass between
September 15 and November 15 of each year. The planting and harvesting of the crops
shall follow the approved nutrient management plan. Areas where the bermudagrass
stand falls below 80% in coverage shall be re -sprigged. The mandatory 30-day waiting
period between the last application of septage, and the crop harvest shall be met by
alternating septage applications, the waiting period, and crop harvests among the five
(5) fields. 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 Linda Melville in such a manner as to prevent the migration of
wastes off the designated waste receiving site. A 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.

Septage Application to Bermuda grass and Rye Grass
A. Best Management Practices
The undersigned parties agree to manage the septage disposal site that is located
in Onslow County, east of SR 1434 between the communities of Belgrade and
Silverdale, according to the following best management practices. This list of
practices has been specifically designed for land application of septage by
Atlantic All -Pro Septic Tank Service Inc.
1. The application fields contain approximately 47.3 acres of usable disposal
Area. Field #1 2.5 acres Field # 1 A 2.5 acres, Autryville loamy fine sand
with very little slope (less than 2%). Field #2 approximately 7.5 acres
usable disposal area. Field #2A 7.5 acres, Autryville loamy fine sand with
very little slope (less than 2%). Field #3 contains two application areas
spilt by a field drain. One area containing 4.8 acres and the other contains
1.8 acres; this field has a 50' buffer and roadway. This area has been
seeded with a coastal Bermuda grass variety and is ready for septage
application. Field #4 contains 20.7 acres of application area, with a 250'
buffer set back from well. Fields 5, 6 and 7 need to be removed from
permit.
2. Septage will not be applied where the site is untrafficable. Untrafficable is
defined as soil that will allow a loaded truck to leave a depression in sod
greater than 3 inches in depth.
3. Septage storage shall be provided to account for the average volume of
Septage pumped per week.
B. Crops to be Grown and Approximate Planting
1. Application fields including buffer zones, will be maintained in coastal
Bermuda Grass. Soil PH should be maintained between 5.0-5.5. Each
year thereafter, each field will be over seeded with annual ryegrass at the
rate of approximately 30 pounds/acre (broadcast) during the time frame of
Sept. 15 —Nov. 15.
2. During the winter and spring 2011, Bermuda Grass will be sprigged at the
rate of 12 bushels per acre or seeded as necessary.
C. Nitrogen needs for the Crops Grown:
R.Y.E. = Realistic Yield Expectations
N APP. Rate = Suggested N Application Rate Based on R.Y.E. for Soil Type.

December Low Low Low Low Low Low
Low =5,000 gallons: Medium=10,000 Gallons: High=15,000 gallons
Note: Cumulative Application Rate is not to exceed the permitted
Application Rate.
E. Application Method:
The preceding information is based on the septage being evenly applied over the
entire permitted site or fields.
F. Additional Fertility Requirements:
N-P-K will be added to the land application area to maintain fertility levels,
which will be based on the soil test results from NCDA.
G. Harvest of the Crop:
1, The Bermuda Grass will be cut as hay, baled, and removed whenever it
Reaches approximately 12 inches in height, or roughly every 4 to 6 weeks
beginning in June. Approximately three or four harvest can be expected.
2. The rye grass will be cut as hay and baled March and April from all
Applications fields.
3. A 30-day waiting period will be observed between the last application of
Septage and harvest. Beginning about the first of March each year, septage
will be applied strictly to %Z of the acreage of applications area while '/2 of
the rye is undisturbed for 30 days. After 30 days the rye fields receiving
no pass 30-day application of septage will be harvested and septage
application then switched to those fields. After an additional 30 days the
second half of the rye crop having no septage applied within past 30 days.
Late April/ early May, will be harvested. By early May, a rotation is
established which can cycle every 30 to 45 days between the Bermuda
Grass harvest. By the end of October, rye will have been planted and all
sites will be available for septage application until the end of February the
following year.
4. Hay will not be harvested with 30 days of septage application.
Soil Erosion and Runoff Control Plan
Given that the slopes on these sites do not exceed three percent, on a group I & 11
soil. A 10-foot grass buffer around the woods is to be provided on all fields and 25-foot
buffer on road paths. A 50-foot buffer is provided from property lines. These buffers will
be planted with Bermuda Grass/Rye Grass and should suffice to prevent septage from
migrating off the field. Also setback areas on wooded sides will remain forested litter
cover.
No septage will be applied within 50' of any ditch even with continuous grasses to
ditch. All setbacks from stream and wetlands will be according to 15 NCAC 13 B.
0821(4)(D).
