1. .0838(c) (1) Domestic septage shall be treated in accordance with the requirements in 40 CFR 503 Subpart D.
(2) Grease septage, treated grease septage, commercial or industrial treatment plant septage and commercial/industrial
septage shall be treated in accordance with 40 CFR 257.3-6 or treated by an equivalent or more stringent process in 40
CFR 503 Subpart D. Permit condition 6 Domestic septage ph shall be raised to 12 or higher by alkali addition and,
without the addition of additional alkali, shall remain at 12 or higher for 30 minutes prior to land application. Grease
septage or grease septage mixed with domestic septage, shall be raised to pH 12 or higher by alkali addition and,
without the addition of additional alkali, shall remain at 12 or higher for two hours prior to land application.
Checked the pH of a recent spray path on field 1 in several areas with litmus paper. The pH was 6 and not the
required 12 for land application to occur. Also noted an odor. Discussed the violation with Mr. Bailey by email
who stated the lime stabilization had occurred a few days before the actual discharge event. Implement
changes to the procedure to ensure that adequate lime stabilization is obtained per Rule .0838(c) – Obtain pH
12 and hold for the required amount of time. The pH shall be checked again on site immediately prior to the
discharge event. If a pH 12 is not present then land application shall not occur at that time and the lime
stabilization procedure shall be redone.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
1. The required sign is missing at the front entrance to field 2. Post the No Trespassing/Septage Land
Application Site sign. The access road is adequate.
2. The fescue appears adequate at this time but needs cut soon. Weed control is needed in the coming warm
months to maintain the fescue crop.
3. A 50’ buffer is required between a disposal field and any neighboring crop to be used for human consumption.
4. No sign of heavy application or application outside the permitted boundaries. It appears that approved setbacks
are being met but setbacks were not measured at this time. Field markers appear accurate.
