site investigation that field -1AN - 1, owned by Donald Duncan) has slope grades of
` borderli e`' 1 % and is recommended that this held he closely monitored. Also, some of the original
site maps do not show buffers at the intermittent stream beds and rock outcrops, We suggest that
the land application/residuals operator obtain revised site naps ofthe sites depicting all buffers, In
conclusion, the Groundwater Section has no abjection to issuance of the permit, provided that the
following conditions are included:
* 1. Residual solids should not be applied within 100 feet of rock outcrops.
The following situ designated below are covered in part by soils having a seasonal high water
