A. Setback Waivers:
Setback waivers submitted during the previous permitting cycle (Permit WQ0000543 issued
January 14, 2019) affecting Fields NC-CH-77-4 and NC-CH-77-18 contain the following language:
"This Agreement shall remain in effect for the length of the Division of Water Resources' (Division)
permit for the residuals land application program and shall be renewed each time this permit is
renewed. "
The renewal package received by the Division on February 29, 2024 does not contain updated
setback waivers recorded with the Chatham County Register of Deeds. Without these up-to-date
setback waivers, buffer zones for the properties will need to be redrawn pursuant to 15A NCAC
02T .1108(c). This will reduce the land application area for Fields NC-CH-77-4 and NC-CH-77-
18.
If the Permittee does not wish to pursue setback waivers, please submit updated application maps
and acreages for Fields NC-CH-77-4 and NC-CH-77-18. If the Permittee wishes to maintain the
fields as they were in the previous issuance, then please provide updated setback waivers. A new
version of the Non -Discharge Residuals Management Program Waiver for the Application of Class
B Residuals (Form: NDRMPW-LAS 11-18) is available and shall be used. Additionally, any
setback waivers shall be recorded with the Chatham County Register of Deeds. The newest version
of Form: NDRMPW will be included in the accompanying email for your convenience.
