should only be filled out if fields are to be transferred from a different permit to WQ0000672.
Please remove this information as these fields are already part of this permit.

is provided on the last page of the LOA or the LASC. Please change it to "N" if there is no lessee

1. Comparing the LASC to the previous permit's Attachment B, Fields NC-RO-18-01, NC-RO-18-
02, and NC-RO-21-01 through NC-RO-21-05 are missing from this application. Are these fields to
be removed from this permit? For future application submittals, please summarize any new,
modified, transferred, or removed fields in the cover letter to aid in review.

Ozzell Baker and not Delois Baker. Please correct.
For Fields NC-RO-17-01 through NC-RO-17-04, there are duplicate Field IDs with different
acreages. Please remove the duplicates and update the total acreage to be certified for this permit.
If the previously permitted fields are increasing in acreage, please list them as modified and not
renewed.

Lumberton while the corresponding LOAs list the landowner as only the City of Lumberton. Please
verify and update.
For Fields NC-RO-39-05 and NC-RO-39-06, Barbara Bullard is listed as the landowner with
Patrick Bullard as the lessee, however, Patrick Bullard is listed as the landowner with no lessee on
the signed LOA. Please correct.

as the lessee. Please update.
Vicinity/Setback Maps:
1. For information on completing vicinity/setback maps please refer to the items listed under 15
NCAC 02T .I 104(c)(1) and Map Guidance for Residuals Land Application Fields, which has been
attached. Please update all vicinity/setback maps for the following:
a. The title block for each map should contain the county where the site is located, the landowner's
name, the name of the permittee and/or permit number, and the Site ID/Field IDs.
b. The total field acreages and net applicable acreages (application area) for each field after
setbacks are considered should be included on each map.
c. Show linework for streams, surface water, channels, and ditches on each map. Some maps do
not have this delineated, while others do.

Mr. Corey J. Walters
January 3, 2023
Page 5 of 7
d. For all setback radii, please show a symbol in the center representing what the setback is for
(i.e., off -site dwelling, well, surface water, etc.) Please note that for surface application by
vehicle and injection/incorporation by irrigation there is no required setback for on -site
dwellings. Some maps do not show these icons, while others do. [15A NCAC 02T .1108]
e. Add a note to each map stating "The compliance boundary is established at either 250 feet from
the residuals land application area or 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is closest
to the residuals land application area." [15 NCAC 02T .1104]
f. Recommend that map legends across all maps have the same content and follow the same
symbology.
g. Recommend decreasing the line weight for the application area boundary for readability. On
some maps, it appears that the application area is overlapping with setback radii.
h. Recommend labeling at least one road on each map with a visible font/outline.
2. On the Site NC-RO-16 map:
a. What is the small radius between Fields 5 and 6?
Please show the 400-foot setbacks for the off -site dwellings located at 735 and 769 Solomn
Road. This may reduce the application area of Field 8.
c. Please show the 400-foot setback for the off -site dwelling in the rear of the property located at
313 Solomn Road, just south of Field 6.
d. Why is there one radius larger than the others in the bottom left?
3. The two maps for Site NC-RO-17 are duplicated. Please remove these in the resubmittal.
4. On the Site NC-RO-20 map for Fields 6-8 and 14:
a. There are additional stray labels on the right side. Please remove.
b. What is the group of small radii next to Field 8 denoting?
5. On the Site NC-RO-20 map for Field 18, there is an off -site dwelling labeled within the unsuitable
area. This appears to be owned by the same owner who owns the field and should be an on -site
dwelling encompassed in the parcel boundary. Please update.
6. On the Site NC-RO-20 map for Fields 19-21:
a. Field 20 appears to extend beyond the delineated parcel boundary. Please adjust the application
area or confirm the landowner owns the adjacent parcel and show this.
b. Why are there setbacks shown for on -site dwellings intersecting Field 20? Please note that for
surface application by vehicle and injection/incorporation by irrigation there is no required
setback for on -site dwellings.
7. On the Site NC-RO-39 map for Fields 7-8, there appear to be surface water setbacks missing near
Field 7. Please delineate these.

8. On the Site NC-RO-40 map for Fields 1-2, there appear to be symbols used on the map that are not
shown in the legend. There also appears to be a missing parcel outline where the unsuitable area
boundary crosses outside the parcel boundary. Please correct.
9. On the Site NC-RO-40 map for Fields 3-7, Field 5 extends beyond the delineated parcel boundary.
Please adjust the application area or confirm the landowner owns the adjacent parcel and show this.
N. Soils Maps:
1. For information on completing soil maps please refer to 15A NCAC 02T .1104(c)(2)(A) and Map
Guidance for Residuals Land Application Fields, which has been attached. Please update all soil
maps for the following:
a. The title block for each map should contain the county where the site is located, the landowner's
name, the name of the permittee and/or permit number, and the Site ID/Field IDs.
There are no soil maps included for Fields NC-RO-20-15 through NC-RO-20-18. Please submit
these.
3. There are soil maps included for Fields NC-RO-41-01 through NC-RO-41-10, NC-RO-43-01, and
NC-RO-43-02, but these are not listed anywhere else in the application. If these were added by
mistake, please remove them. If they were not, please provide the additional documentation for
these fields and update the rest of the application accordingly.
Soil Scientist Report:
1. No borings were completed for the Fields NC-RO-20-15 through NC-RO-20-18. Please submit a
soil scientist report per 15A NCAC 02T .1104(c)(2)(A) for these fields.
2. Why were borings performed and analyzed for Fields NC-RO-41-01 through NC-RO-41-10, NC-
RO-43-01, and NC-RO-43-02 if they are not listed in the LASC for this permit application? If these
were added by mistake, please remove them. If they were not, please provide the additional
documentation for these fields and update the rest of the application accordingly.
