C. Residuals Source Certification (FORM: RSC 06-16) Application:
The RSC forms for the Duke Energy Shearon Harris WWTP (Permit No. NC0039586) and the
Pope Industrial Park WWTP (Permit No. NC0060526) are missing the hazardous waste
determination in Section IL3. There is an exemption to provide this information for facilities that
are less than 0.5 MGD in design flow and treat 100% non -municipal domestic wastewater only.
Please clarify whether the above facilities meet the exemption by verifying that they treat 100%
non -municipal domestic wastewater. If they do not, Section IL3. shall be completed and the
associated laboratory data shall be submitted.
Please note that the Permit No. NC0039586 covers multiple different waste treatment systems at
the Harris Nuclear Plant, including some radwaste treatment systems. In your response to the above,
please also clarify which treatment system in this permit is the source of the residuals for this
application.
D. Land Application Site Certification (FORM: LASC 06-16) Form:
According to the Bertie County GIS website, there is a parcel with a place of assembly under
separate ownership located between field CB-2 on parcel 5828039455 that is not depicted on the
buffer map. The property record card indicates that this is a home lot with a home site located on
the parcel. The setbacks for a place of public assembly under separate ownership shall be shown
on the resubmitted site map for this field, and any acreage change shall be included in an updated
LASC form. Alternatively, a setback waiver may be executed in accordance with 15A NCAC 02T
.1108(e) to reduce a setback. Setback waivers shall be written, notarized, signed by all parties
involved, and recorded with the Bertie County Register of Deeds.
E. Landowner Agreement (FORM: LOA 06-16) Form:
1. The LOAs submitted for fields CB-1 & 2, RL-1, and TW-1 & 2 were all signed in April 2020 as a
part of the December 3, 2020 Attachment A and B Certification issuance. However, there is a clause
on Page 1 of 3 of the LOA form which states:
"This Agreement shall remain in effect for the length of the Division's permit for the residuals
land application program and shall be renewed each time this permit is renewed."
This application is for the renewal of this permit, and as such this LOA shall be re -executed in order
to be considered renewed.
2. Section III of the LOA submitted for the JBS Group fields does not specify whether a re -defined
compliance boundary is required for these fields due to a water supply well inside the compliance
boundary as per 15A NCAC 02L .0107(d). Please mark this section to indicate whether are -defined

compliance boundary is needed for every site covered in the LOA. If so, the affected fields shall be
noted in this section in accordance with 15A NCAC 02T .0105(h) with the rationale for the
requested re -location of the compliance boundary.
Please note that there appear to be wells within the compliance boundary of fields JBS-12 and JBS-
21. If these wells are not water supply wells, then please reply that these wells would not need to
meet 15A NCAC 02L .0107(d).
