H fft an: C. On March 14, I called to inform you of an application event on site NC-RA-I8-11 that had been flagged incorrectly with respect to an off -site house buffer on the southwestern most portion of the field that had been discovered by Synagro staff while conducting an internal compliance inspection. This letter is to serve as the required written notification and report for that event. On Friday, March 14, the Synagro Technical Services Manager (TSM), while conducting an internal compliance inspection on the field and operations crew, discovered that a buffer area on the southwestern portion of the field had been flagged incorrectly. The TSM reviewed the map for the field in question and observed that the application area map did not have the off -site house indicated. Due to the fact that the off -site house was old (i.e., constructed more than 35 years ago) and not drawn on the map, the Synagro Operations Manager (OM) simply overlooked it as he was flagging the field. The OM is aware that any new structure, pond, etc. must be identified and accounted for in flagging and acreage calculation; however, it is rare that an existing structure impacts that approved application are. The affected area was estimated at no greater than 0.1 acres, thus any impact on public health and/or the environment is likely small if not non-existent. Based on my evaluation of the situation, the OM mistakenly overlooked the importance verifying all structures and items of concern for set -backs every time a field is flagged. The fact that the buffer is based on an incorrectly drawn map (i.e., house not identified) provides some relief in --the fact that, had the house been drawn correctly, there would not be an issue with this application event. Due to this event, the importance of the Jn-gifts site conditions has been emphasized to the OM by the Syr_agro Technic.- I Services Director (TSD). He has been instructed that all structures and other items (ponds, ditches, etc...) within 500' of the application area must be verified to not affect the application area during the flagging of the field. In the upcoming renewal to the Salisbury program, all application maps will be updated to verify all site conditions are correctly identified. If you have any questions or require any additional information for your evaluation of this situation, please let me know. Sincerely, V Todd E.
