B. Program Information
1. Provide a narrative explaining the following:
• How the materials will be handled and transported from where the residuals were produced to where
it will be treated.
• How the residuals will be processed/treated (attach process flow diagram).
o *Note: A process flow diagram was included in the application package
• How leachate collection will be handled.
• Where the residuals will be stored until processed.
• How the final product will be distributed (packaging, bulk, etc.)
• What nutrients or other constituents (i.e. nitrogen, phosphorous, aluminum, calcium, etc.) are used or
recommended as the limiting parameter for determination of residuals loading rate to ensure that it
does not overload the soil and cause contravention of surface water or groundwater standards, limit
crop growth, or adversely impact soil quality.
2. Attach a marketability statement detailing destinations and approximate amounts of the final product to be
distributed.
3. Provide either a label that shall be affixed to the bagged processed residual or an information sheet that
shall be provided to the person who receives the processed residual. The label or information sheet shall
contain, at a minimum, the following information:
• Name and address of the person who prepared the residual that is sold or given away.
• A statement that application of the residuals to the land shall be in accordance with the instructions on
the label or information sheet.
• A statement that the residuals shall not be applied to any site that is flooded, frozen or snow-covered.
• A statement that adequate procedures shall be provided to prevent surface runoff from carrying any
disposed or stored residuals into any surface waters.
• Information on all applicable setbacks in accordance with 15A NCAC 02T .1108(b).
• A statement that the residuals shall be applied at agronomic or recommended rates for intended uses.

C. Operation & Maintenance Plan:
1. Please submit an Operation and Maintenance Plan in accordance with 15A NCAC 02T A 110 and
include at a minimum:
• Operational functions; describe the operation of the program to show what operations are
necessary for the program to function and by whom the functions are to be conducted.
• Maintenance schedules; may include equipment calibration, maintenance of signs, etc.
• Safety measures; may include safety training program, manuals, signs, etc.
• Spill response plan; including control, containment, remediation, emergency contact
information, etc.
• Inspection plan including the following information;
o Names and titles of personnel responsible for conducting the inspections.
o Frequency and location of inspections, including those to be conducted by the ORC, and
procedures to assure that the selected location(s) and inspection frequency are
representative of the residuals management program.
o Detailed description of inspection procedures including record keeping and actions to be
taken by the inspector in the event that noncompliance is observed.
• Sampling and monitoring plan including the following information;
o Names and titles of personnel responsible for conducting the sampling and monitoring.
o Detailed description of monitoring procedures including parameters to be monitored.
o Sampling frequency and procedures to assure that representative samples are being
collected. Fluctuation in temperature, flow, and other operating conditions can affect the
quality of the residuals gathered during a particular sampling event. The sampling plan
shall account for any foreseen fluctuations in residuals quality and indicate the most
limiting times for residuals to meet pathogen and vector attraction reduction requirements
(e.g. facilities that land apply multiple times per year but have an annual sampling
frequency, may need to sample during winter months when pathogen reduction is most
likely to be negatively affected by cold temperatures.
