ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1) The Septage Land Application site consists of a total of 12.9 acres, divided into Field 1 (6.4 acres) and
Field 2 (6.5 acres). Both fields are established in fescue. The site is permitted for the land application of
domestic septage (including portable toilet waste) and grease septage.
2) Appropriate signage was displayed at the entrance to the site per 15A NCAC 13B .0842(a)(2).
3) All weather roads were maintained as required per 15A NCAC 13B .0842(a)(3).
4) 15A NCAC 13B .0842(a)(10): Boundary markers are not present between the two fields. Boundary
markers should be placed between the fields.
5) August 21s' the grass on Field 1 was taller than the inspector's vehicle, which measures about 5.5 feet
tall. Ms. Wesson stated that the grass had been cut on October 121" and baled following the October
inspection. Quality of crop on Field 1 could not be determined due to the cut grass. Quality of crop on
Field 2 was good.
6) 15A NCAC 13B .0842 (e)(1)/ 40 CFR 503.17 B: Adequate records are not being kept as required. The
current record keeping system is not tracking when septage is stored in the storage tanks, nor is it
representing the time frame of application to the fields. While there is a dedicated section on the
paperwork for drivers to select which field septage was land applied to, that section had not been filled
out on any of the paperwork Ms. Williams reviewed. Example logs which include required information
for septage pumpers, septage treatment facilities, septage land application sites were sent with this
report. As discussed during the inspection, use of these specific forms is optional.
