iii. Certified Nutrient Management Plan as outlined by the Natural Resources Conservation
Services (NRCS). These plans must meet the USDA -MRCS 590 Nutrient Management
Standards (ftp://ftp-fe.sc.egov.usda. ovINHQ/practice-standards/standards/590.pdfl
d, If the RYE and appropriate nutrient application rates cannot be determined, the Permittee shall
contact the Division to determine necessary action.
11. When residuals are land applied to grazed pasture, hay crop realistic nitrogen rate shall be reduced by
25% in accordance with the USDA-NRCS 590 Nutrient Management Standards.
12. If land application sites are to be over -seeded or double -cropped (e.g., bermuda grass in the summer
and rye grass in the winter with both crops to receive residuals), then the second crop can receive an
application of PAN at a rate not to exceed 50 pounds per acre per year (lbs/ac/yr). This practice may
be allowed as long as the second crop is to be harvested or grazed. if the second crop is to be planted
for erosion control only and is to be tilled into the soil, then no additional PAN shall be applied.
13, Prior to land application of residuals containing a sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) of 10 or higher, the
Pennittee shall obtain and implement recommendations from at least one of the following: the local
Cooperative Extension Office; the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services; the Natural
Resource Conservation Service; a North Carolina Licensed Soil Scientist; or an agronomist. The
reconunendations shall address the sodium application rate, soil amendments (e.g,, gypsum, etc.), or a

shall maintain written records of these recommendations and details of their implementation.
14. The compliance boundary for residual land application sites shall be specified in accordance with
15A NCAC 021, .0107(b). These sites were individually permitted on or after December 30, 1983;
therefore, the compliance boundary is established at either 250 feet from the residual land application
area, or 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is closest to the residual land application
area, An exceedance of groundwater standards at or beyond the compliance boundary is subject to
remediation action according to 15A NCAC 02L .0106(d)(2) as well as enforcement actions in
accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A through 143-215.6C. Any approved
relocation of the COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY will be noted in Attachment B.
15. In accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0108, the review boundary shall be established midway between
the compliance boundary and the residual land application area. Any exceedance of groundwater
standards at the review boundary shall require action in accordance with 15A NCAC 02L .0106.
Ili. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The residuals management program shall be properly maintained and operated at all times. The
program shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent any
contravention of surface water or groundwater standards.
2. The Fayetteville Regional Office, telephone number [phone], and the appropriate local
government official (i,e., county manager, city manager, or health director) shall be notified at least
48 hours prior to the initial residuals land application to any new land application site. Notification to

Subject: Tom Brooks: Field 2-7
Richard;
Attached is the S&ME buffer map for field 2-7 (McCormick Farms - Tom Brooks) along Hwy 210. With this map is a photo from
Google Earth that indicates what the buffers need to be today with respect to the new apartments constructed to the north of field 2-7.
As you can see, a considerable acreage is lost due to the new apartments. Please review the information provided and determine which
course of action you wish to take concerning this field. The following are options for Spring Lake to. consider:
1). Drop this field from the program;
2). Re -draw the buffer map for this field and submit to the Division for consideration;
Please respond as soon as possible with an email as to which option you wish to pursue so I.can finalize my staff report and send your
decision to the permitting.staff person working on your permit renewal..
With respect to the Willie Brinkley field (3-2) behind his home; since he is the owner of the land application field and the home, the
400' buffer is not required and rule .1-108 (2) is applicable. Tony and I spoke with Mr. Brinkley Monday when we visited his property
off of Hwy 87. Mr. Brinkley indicated that field 3-2 is currently awaiting a zoning hearing to determine if the proposed buyer can
develop the property as they wish before finalizing the land purchase. If the property is purchased after the permit is renewed, please
be aware that a new landowner certification form will be needed for future land application (if allowed) and a 400' buffer will be
needed to Mr. Brinkley's home. If the land is sold and no land application is to take place, please contact the Division by letter
removing any and all fields impacted due to the sale of Mr. Brinkley's property.

Attached is the S&ME buffer.map for field 2-7 (McCormick Farms — Tom Brooks) along Hwy 210. With this map is a
photo from Google Earth that indicates what the buffers need to be today with respect to the.new apartments
constructed to the north of field 2-7. As you can see, a considerable acreage is lost due to the new apartments. Please
review the information provided and determine which course,of action you wish to take concerning this field. The
following are options for Spring Lake to consider:
1). Drop this field from .the program;
2). Re -draw the buffer map for this field and submit to the Division for consideration;
Please respond as soon as possible with an email as to which,6ption you wish to pursue so I can finalize my staff report
and send your decision to the permitting staff person working on your permit renewal.
With respect to the Willie Brinkley field (3-2) behind his home; since he is -the owner of the land application field and the
home, the 400' buffer is not required and rule .1108 (2) is applicable. Tony and I spoke with Mr. Brinkley Monday when
we visited. his property off of Hwy 67..Mr. Brinkley indicated that field 3-2-is currently awaiting a zoning hearing to
determine if the proposed buyer can develop the property as they wish before finalizing the land purchase. If the
property is purchased after the permit is renewed, please be.aware that a new landowner certification form will be
needed for future land application (if allowed) and a 400' buffer will be needed to Mr. Brinkley's home. if the land is sold
and no land application` is to take place, please contact the Division by letter removing any and.all fields impacted due.to
the sale of.Mr. Brinkley's property.
