[G.S. 143-215.11 2. This permit shall not relieve the Permittee of responsibility for damages to groundwater or surface water resulting from the operation of this residuals management program. [I 5A NCAC 02B .0200, 02L .0100] Only residuals generated by the facilities listed in Attachment A are approved for land application in accordance with this permit. [G.S. 143-215.11 4. Only the sites listed in Attachment B are approved for residuals land application. [G.S. 143-215.1] 5. Pollutant concentrations in residuals applied to land application sites listed in Attachment B shall not exceed the following Ceiling Concentrations (i.e., dry weight basis) or Cumulative Pollutant Loading Rates (CPLRs): Parameter Ceiling Concentration (milligrams per kilogram) CPLR (pounds per acre) Arsenic 75 36 Cadmium 85 34 Copper 4,300 1,338 Lead 840 267 Mercury 57 15 Molybdenum 75 n/a Nickel 420 374 Selenium 100 89 Zinc 7,500 2,498 The Permittee shall determine compliance with the CPLRs using one of the following methods: a. By calculating the existing cumulative level of pollutants using actual analytical data from all historical land application events of residuals, or b.

Bulk residuals and other sources of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) shall not be applied in exceedance of agronomic rates. Appropriate agronomic rates shall be calculated using expected nitrogen requirements based on the determined Realistic Yield Expectations (RYE) using any of the following methods: a. Division's pre -approved site specific historical data for specific crop or soil types by calculating the mean of the best three yields of the last five consecutive crop harvests for each field. b. North Carolina Historical Data for specific crop and soil types as provided by North Carolina State University Department of Soil Science (bttD://nutrients.soil.nesu.edu/Aields/index.php). A copy shall be kept on file and reprinted every five years in accordance with Condition IV.6. c. If the RYE cannot be determined using methods (a) or (b) above, the Permittee may use the RYE and appropriate nutrient application rates reported in any of the following documents: i. Crop management plan as outlined by the local Cooperative Extension Office, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, or other agronomist. ii. Waste Utilization Plan as outlined by the Senate Bill 1217 Interagency Group - Guidance Document: Chapter 1 (http://www,ncag_r.gov/SWC/tech documents/9th_Guidance Doc100109.pdf). iii.

These plans must meet the USDA-NRCS 590 Nutrient Management Standards(ftp://flp-fc.sc_egov.usda.gov/NHQ/practice-standards/standards/590 ndf d. If the RYE and appropriate nutrient application rates cannot be determined, the Permittee shall contact the Division to determine necessary action. [15A NCAC 02T .I 109(b)(1)(k)] 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. [15A NCAC 02T .0 1. 08(b)(1)] 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. [15A NCAC 02T .0108(b)(1)] 13. Prior to land application of residuals containing a sodium adsorption ratio (SAR) of 10 or higher, the Permittee 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 recommendations shall address the sodium application rate, soil amendments (e.g., gypsum, etc.), or a mechanism for maintaining site integrity and conditions conducive to crop growth. The Permittee shall maintain written records of these recommendations and details of their implementation. [15A NCAC 02T .0108(b)(1)] WQ0001800 Version 4.0 Shell Version 160210 Page 4 of 13 14. These residuals land application 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. [15A NCAC 02L .0107(a)] 15. 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. [15A NCAC 02L .0108] III. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REOUIREMENTS 1. The residuals management program shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.

If the slope is greater than 10% for surface applied liquid residuals, or if the slope is greater than 18% for injected or incorporated bulk liquid :residuals; h. If the soil pH is not maintained at 6.0 or greater, unless sufficient amounts of lime are applied to 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; i. If the land does not have an established vegetative cover unless the residuals are incorporated or injected within a 24-hour period following a residuals land application event.

Testing of metals and nutrients as stipulated under permit Condition IV.3. 4. Analyses of pathogen and vector attraction reductions as stipulated under permit Condition IV A. 5. Monitoring frequencies are based on the actual dry tons applied per year using the table below, unless specified above. Dry Tons Applied short tons per ear Monitoring Frequency Established in 40 CFR 503 and 15A NCAC 02T .1111 <319 1/Year =>319 - <1,650 l/ Quarter (4 times per ear) =>1,650 - <16,500 1/60 Days (6 times per ear =>16,500 1/month (12 times per ear) 6. Water Treatment Plant residuals are exempt from meeting the pathogen & vector attraction reduction requirements in Condition IV A, provided they are not mixed with residuals that have been generated during the treatment of domestic wastewater, the treatment of animal processing wastewater, or the biological treatment of industrial wastewater. The Water Treatment Plant residuals must be treated and processed in a manner as to not meet the definition of "Biological Residuals" as defined in 15A NCAC 02T .1102(6). If no land application events occur during a required sampling period (e.g. no land application occur during an entire year when annual monitoring is required), then no sampling data is required during the period of inactivity. The annual report shall include an explanation for missing sampling data. Those required to submit the annual report to EPA may be required to make up the missed sampling, contact the EPA for additional information and clarification.
