application. The Applicant's Certification on Page 3 of this form shall be signed in accordance
with 15A NCAC 02T .0106(b). An alternate person may be designated as the signing official
if a delegation letter is provided from a person who meets the criteria in 15A NCAC 02T
.0106(b). The application may be downloaded at: https:Hdeg.nc.gov/water-resources/non-
discharge/dcar-06-16/download.
2. Pursuant to DCAR Application Instruction D, submit the following Program Information:
➢ Provide a narrative explaining the following:
o How the materials will be handled and transported from where the residuals were
produced to where it will be treated.
o How the residuals will be processed/treated (attach process flow diagram).
o How leachate collection will be handled.
o Where the residuals will be stored until processed.
o How the final product will be distributed (packaging, bulk, etc.)
o 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.
➢ Attach a marketability statement detailing destinations and approximate amounts of the
final product to be distributed.

proper residual application rates; and has agreed to operational considerations to ensure that the high
SAR content will not adversely impact the receiving sites. Recommendations regarding sodium
application rate, soil amendments (e.g., gypsum, etc.) or a mechanism for maintaining site integrity and
conditions conducive to crop growth, can be obtained from the local Cooperative Extension Office, the
Department ofAgriculture and Consumer Services, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, a North

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 distribute
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).

achieve a final soil pH of at least 6.0, or if an agronomist provides information indicating that the
pH of the soil, residuals and lime mixture is suitable for the specified crop. Any approved variations
to the acceptable soil pH (6.0) will be noted in this permit;
