Adherence to these instructions and checking the provided boxes will help produce a quicker review time and reduce the amount of additional information requested. Failure to submit all of the required items will lead to additional processing and review time for the permit application. Unless otherwise noted, the Applicant shall submit one original and two copies of the application and supporting documentation For more information, visit the Water Quality Permitting Section's Non -Discharge Permitting Unit General — This certification provides detailed information of receiving sites for land application of Class B residuals (may include water treatment plant or other type residuals) in accordance with 15A NCAC 02T .1100. Do not submit this certification for review without a corresponding application form (FORM: RLAP 06-16 or FORM: SDR 06-16). Unless otherwise noted, the Applicant shall submit one original and two copies of the application and supporting documentation listed below. A. Land Application Site Certification (FORM: LASC 06-16): ❑ Submit the completed and appropriately executed Land Application Site Certification (FORM: LASC 06-16) form. Please do not make any unauthorized content changes to this form. If necessary for clarity or due to space restrictions, attachments to the application may be made, as long as the attachments are numbered to correspond to the section and item to which they refer. ❑ For new or renewed permits, submit the requested information for all land application sites. ❑ For modified permits, submit the requested information for only those sites that are new, transferred or affected by the proposed modification. B. Land Application Site Information: ❑ The status of the land application site with respect to this residuals land application program must be provided in table I. The status categories and their corresponding codes are as follows: ♦ New (N) ♦ Renewed (R) ♦ Modified (M) ♦ Transferred (T) ♦ Deleted (D) ❑ Attach the following in accordance with each status code: Status Code Required Item N R T M County Board Notification. doc ✓ ✓ ✓ Land Owner Agreement (If applicable) ✓ ✓ ✓ ✓ Setback Waiver Agreement An updated vicinity/setback map in accordance with the "Map Guidance for Residuals Land Application Permits" ✓ ✓ ✓ A soils and agronomic evaluation in accordance with the "Soil Scientist ✓ Evaluation Policy" INSTRUCTIONS FOR FORM: LASC 06-16 Page 1 of 3 An updated accounting of the land application site's cumulative pollutant loading rates CPLRs Status Code Required Item N R T M For previously permitted sites without a soil series name indicated in the Attachment B, submit County Soil Survey Map (or equivalent) clearly ✓ indicate the location of the land application site and in accordance with the soil map requirements in the "Soil Scientist Evaluation Polic " Acknowledgement of field transfer from Land Owner (Fields may not ✓ be permitted to multiple Permittees over the same timeperiod) * This item may be required for land application site with a status code "M", please contact the Division if you need assistant in determining attachment requirements. ❑ Crop Type should include the most likely crop types for the life of the permit (five years). ❑ Predominant Soils Series Name must be either the name of the soil indicated in Attachment `B" of the existing permit, or name of the soil series as provided by the licensed soil scientist. ❑ Predominant Soil Mapping Unit or Representative Slope: Either the Soil Mapping Unit or the representative slope of each site must be provided. The predominant soil -mapping unit must be consistent with the predominant soil series name. Please note that the soil mapping units are variable between Counties, so care should be taken in properly identifying the correct mapping unit. If a representative slope is provided, it must be determined accordingly: ❑ For sites previously permitted for use, but do not have an established soil mapping unit (the mapping unit provides information on both the soil series name and the slope of the soil), the Applicant may determine the representative slope by using the average slope provided in the County Soil Survey (or equivalent). A soil type with a slope range of 4 - 8% would have a representative slope of 6%. ❑ New Sites to be permitted must have slopes determined as part of the soils report prepared by a licensed soil scientist. ❑ Acceptable methods for determining location coordinates (i.e., latitude and longitude) and their corresponding codes are as follows: • Address Matching (ADD) • Digital or Raw Photo Extraction (EXT) • Aerial Photography with Ground Control (AER) • Geodetic Quality GPS Survey (GEO) • Cadastral Survey (SUR) • LORAN-C Navigation Device (LOR) • Conversion from Coordinate Plane (CP) • Navigation Quality GPS (GPS) • Conversion from Township -Section -Range (TSR) • Remote Sensing (RS) • Conversion from Universal Trans Merc (UTM) • Zip Code Centroid (ZIP) • Map Interpretation by Digital or Manual Extraction (MAP) C. Waterbody and Classifications Information: (new sites only) ❑ Use an 8.5 by 11-inch copy of the portion of a 7.5-minute USGS Topographic Map to identify the location where the residuals program activities are planned to occur as well as the closest downslope surface waters as clearly as possible. Each map portion must be labeled with the map name and number, the identified location, and be of clear and reproducible quality. ❑ Surface water body classifications information may be found at: http://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water- resources/planning/classification-standards/classifications ❑ Any questions concerning the waterbody and its classification, please contact the Division's regional offices. ❑ A list of the Division's regional offices, their county coverage, and their contact information may be downloaded at: http://deq.nc.gov/contact/regional-offices ❑ General Instructions: There are 17 river basins in North Carolina. Each basin has associated waterbodies with assigned subbasins, location descriptions, stream index numbers and established classifications. 1. Identify the project area on a 7.5 minute USGS topographical map (an 8.5 x 11-inch sheet showing the project area should be submitted with the permit application regardless of whether a Stream classification was completed). 2. Determine the names of all the closest down slope surface waters from the project site. For unnamed tributaries, see Table 1: Unnamed Tributaries Entering Other States or for Specific Basin Areas. Label any unnamed tributaries as "UT to stream name" as the waterbody name. 3. Open the link http://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/planning/classification-standards/classifications. ❑ Stream Classification Process: One of the options below may be used depending on the known initial project information. ❑ KNOWN BASIN WHERE CLOSEST DOWN SLOPE SURFACE WATER IS LOCATED 1. Select proper basin from the List all Waterbodies in Basin sorted report. Sort hydrologically as this will provide the proper location descriptions if multiple runs. INSTRUCTIONS FOR FORM: LASC 06-16 Page 2 of 3 2. Locate the name of the identified waterbody (from General Directions) on the list. 3. For multiple listings of the same waterbody name in the report, select and verify the location description. The term "source" in the description means the beginning of the waterbody segment (most upstream point). 4. Record all Basins, Stream Index Numbers and Classifications applicable to the project. ❑ KNOWN COUNTY WHERE CLOSEST DOWN SLOPE SURFACE WATER IS LOCATED 1. Select the proper county from the List all Waterbodies in county, hydrologically report. 2. Locate the name of the identified waterbody (from General Directions) on the list. 3. For multiple listings of the same waterbody name in the report, select and verify the location description. The term "source" in the description means the beginning of the waterbody segment (most upstream point). 4. Record all Basins, Stream Index Numbers and Classifications applicable to the project. ❑ UNKNOWN BASIN WHERE CLOSEST DOWN SLOPE SURFACE WATER IS LOCATED 1. Use the Clickable basin map to hydrologically sorted list report. 2. Click on the approximate project location to bring up the hydrologically sorted list. 3. Locate the name of the identified waterbody (from General Directions) on the list. 4. For multiple listings of the same waterbody name in the report, select and verify the location description.
