STATUS OF PAST NOTED VIOLATIONS:
1. 15A NCAC 13B .0838 (a)(18) states: Approved nutrient management plans shall be followed.

Permit number SLAS-79-06/Conditions of Operating Permit Section two states in part: This site shall be operated
and maintained in accordance with the nutrient management plan (NMP)submitted by Patrick and Eric Gann and
approved by the Division of Waste Management.

Gann Brothers Septic Tank Service, Inc. was in violation of 15A NCAC 13B .0838 (a)(7) because the approved
Nutrient Management Plan (NMP) Section B paragraph 2 states in part: “In order for this fescue field to receive
septage, a 80% stand should be maintained”. Field 2 appeared to have less than 80% coverage of fescue. The
other vegetation was either dormant, dead or damaged at the time of inspection.

In order to come into compliance, Gann Brothers Septic Tank Service, Inc. must either follow the current NMP

for SLAS-79-04 or change the Plan to reflect other crops.
You can also contact the Rockingham County Cooperative Extension at 336-342-8230 for advice on field
maintenance and weed control. If another crop other than fescue be desired or recommended, a revised Plan,
written by a certified technical specialist, reflecting the change must be submitted. Contact Connie Wylie at
[e-mail] or 910-433-3352 to update the Plan.

This violation is not yet resolved. The NMP is to be updated with the next permit renewal/revision.
