3. The site is located on Beaver Creek Road (SR# 1325) and has accessible all-weather roads to the septage land application field covered under the permit.
4. Appropriate signage was displayed at the site.
5. Disposal area boundaries were delineated with permanent markers with the exception of the area near the entrance and southeastern boundary. This area needs additional markers to clearly delineate from the buffer area.
6. All septage discharges appear to have been made within the disposal area boundary. No recent septage
application were observed. 7. There is no evidence of standing liquid or pooled waste. The waste appeared to be evenly distributed
throughout the field. 8. No objectionable odors were observed.

9. The crop stand appeared to have lots of weeds. The approved Nutrient Management Plan (NMP) contained in your permit has tall fescue as the cover crop for the field. In addition, the NMP requires
that areas that develop less than 80% groundcover by fescue be seeded with fescue at a rate of 100 pounds per acre in the month of April. (reference amendment to NMP) Please contact Connie Wylie at [e-mail] or 910-433-3352 to update the nutrient management plan. You can also
contact the Cleveland County Cooperative Extension at 704-482-4365 for advice on field maintenance and weed control. Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this inspection report.
