of the land application event in August. DWR wishes to thank Jimmy Ellington for his assistance
with the inspection.
The residuals monitoring was reviewed. TCLP analyses indicated compliance and was performed
July, 2019. Pathogen Reduction testing was fecal coliform analyses performed in August 20I9
with all results less than 30,000mpn. Vector Attraction Reduction testing was completed and
indicated compliance. Nutrient and metals were tested in July, 2019. Soils Plus is contracted to
do analyses and PAN calculations.
Application to the fields was not observed, as the operation was completed in early October. The
ORC reported that fields are in hay and that some are grazed. Signs are posted during and after
land application activities. Soil samples were collected as required. One field was limed. Hauling
records and CPLR sheets were reviewed and found to be in compliance. Residuals are hauled as
liquid with 2 to 3% solids and are surface applied. An operation and maintenance document is on
file.
The residuals program for Louisburg appears well managed and compliant at this time. If you have
any questions concerning this notice, please contact me at (919) 7914240.
