restrictions in 40 CFR Part 503.32(a) or the Class B pathogen requirements and site
restrictions in 40 CFR Part 503.32(b), and one of vector attraction reduction requirements
in 40 CFR Part 503.33 shall be met. Additionally, an evaluation must be performed which
demonstrates the residuals ability to comply with this requirement. Upon request, a copy
of this evaluation must be submitted including all test results and calculations.
11. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. The facilities and application sites shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. A suitable vegetative cover, as listed in condition 11 4, shall be maintained in accordance
with the crop management plan outlined by the local Extension Office, the Department of
Agriculture, the Natural Resource .Conservation Service, or other agronomist, and
approved by this Division.

provided.
3. No land application of waste activities shall be undertaken when the seasonal high water
table is less than three feet below land surface.
V. INSPECTIONS
The Permittee or his designee shall inspect the residuals storage, transport, and application
facilities to prevent malfunctions and deterioration, operator errors and discharges which
may cause or lead to the release of wastes to the environment, a threat to human health, or a
nuisance. The Permittee shall maintain an inspection log or summary including at least the
date and time of inspection, observations made, and any maintenance, repairs, or corrective
actions taken by the Permittee. This log of inspections shall be maintained by the Permittee
for a period of five years from the date of the inspection and shall be made available to the
Division or other permitting authority, upon request.
2. Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the Division may, upon
presentation of credentials, enter and inspect any property, premises or place on or related
to the application site or facility at any reasonable time for the purpose of determining
compliance with this permit; may inspect or copy any records that must be kept under the
terms and conditions of this permit; and may obtain samples of groundwater, surface
water, or leachate.
V1. GENERAL CONDITIONS
This permit shall become voidable unless the land application activities are carried out in
accordance with the conditions of this permit, the supporting materials, and in the manner
approved by this Division.
2. This permit is effective only with respect to the nature and volume of wastes described in
the application and other supporting data.
This permit is not automatically transferable. In the event that there is a desire for the
facilities to change ownership or a name change of the Permittee, a formal permit request
must be submitted to the Division accompanied by an application fee, documentation from
the parties involved, and other supporting materials as may be appropriate. The approval
of this request will be considered on its merits and may or may not be approved.
