1. The lab report used in the Metals Determination and the Nutrient/Micronutrient Determination for
the Town of Bridgeton WWTP was dated March 2020, which is over one year from the application
date. If land application of material from this facility has occurred in the past year, please provide
a 2021 analysis of the facility's residuals.
E. Land Application Site Certification (FORM: LASC 06-16) Form:
There appears to be a drainage feature shown in the northwestern portion of the modified Field 1
that is not buffered out. This feature was buffered out of the field in the permit issued May 3, 2021.
A new application map shall be submitted with the correct buffer applied for this feature, and the
LASC shall be updated with the updated field acreage. If the feature no longer exists, a sealed
statement from a Licensed Soil Scientist (LSS) shall be provided to verify the soil's suitability for
land application, and the drainage feature line shall be removed in an updated map.
There was a buffered well shown on Figure 1 of the most recent permit that is located on the
southern portion of the Field 9 that is not included in this application. If a well is still at this location,
it shall be shown on an updated application map along with the appropriate buffer, and the LASC
shall be updated with the updated field acreage. If this well has been properly abandoned or if it
was never constructed, a brief statement from an LSS shall be provided to verify that the new land
application area from this removed buffer are consistent with the original evaluation and suitable
for land application.
3. There are sections of field 7 that were buffered out as unsuitable in the most recent permit that are
now included as application area in this permit. If these sections of the fields are requested to be
added, a sealed statement from an LSS shall be provided to verify the soil's suitability for land
application. Otherwise, these sections of the field shall be buffered out and depicted in an updated
application map, and the LASC shall be updated with the updated field acreage.
