II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. The facilities and land application sites shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. Prior to applying residuals to any land application site that has previously received or is intended to
receive animal waste (e.g., poultry litter, hog lagoon effluent, etc.) in the future, the Permittee shall
obtain information pertaining to the volume and analysis of the applied waste form the landowner and
/or lessee/operator of the site. The Permittee shall be responsible for verifying the volume of residuals
that may be land applied to the site such that the plant available nitrogen (PAN) loading rate for the
specified crop (i.e., see Condition II. 5.) is not exceeded by all sources of PAN applied. Should the
maximum PAN loading rate be met, then no additional residuals shall be applied to the site for the
remainder of the cropping season.
A suitable vegetative cover, as listed in Condition I1. 5., 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.
4. An acceptable pH must be maintained in the soil, residual and lime mixture, greater than 6.0, on all
land application sites to ensure optimum yield for the crop(s) specified in Condition II. 5. The
agronomist shall provide information on the pH best suited for the specified crop and the soil type.
5. The application rates of residuals shall be such that the following plant available nitrogen (PAN)
loadings shall not be exceeded for the specified crops:
Crop PAN (pounds N/acre/year) Crop PAN (pounds N/acre/year)

If the approved land application sites are to be double cropped (i.e., a crop in the spring and a second
crop in the fall, with BOTH crops to receive wastewater residuals), then the second crop shall receive
an application of nutrients at a rate of no greater than 50 pounds of N/acre/year. This practice will be
allowed as long as the second crop is to be harvested. If the second crop is to be planted for erosion
control only, and is to be tilled into the soil, then no wastewater residuals shall be applied to these
fields because the nitrogen will essentially be returned to the soil.

V. INSPECTIONS
1. 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.
VI. 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 shall be effective only with respect to the nature and volume of wastes described in the
application and other supporting data.
3. This permit shall not be automatically transferable. In the event that there is a desire for the residuals
land application program to change ownership or a name change of the Permittee, a formal permit
request must be submitted to the Division accompanied by 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.

a These sites are dominated by soils having mean seasonal high water tables between one and three feet
below the land surface. The application of residuals on these sites shall be prohibited from December
through March, inclusive. No residuals shall be applied to any site when the vertical separation
between the depth of application and the water table, is less than three feet. The actual water table
depth for seasonally restricted soils must be verified by soil borings, within 24 hours, prior to any
application event (applications are limited to April through November, inclusive.) The number of
borings advanced shall be sufficient to adequately characterize water table conditions across the
entire proposed application site. Any open borings must be properly filled with native soil, prior to
application to decrease the chance of any residuals contaminating the groundwater.
Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this permit may subject the Permittee to
an enforcement action by the Division in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A
to 143-215.6C.
6. The annual administering and compliance fee must be paid by the Permittee within 30 days after being
billed by the Division. Failure to pay the fee accordingly may cause the Division to initiate action to
revoke this permit as specified by 15 NCAC 2H .0205 (c)(4).
The issuance of this permit does not preclude the Permittee from complying with any and all statutes,
rules, regulations, or ordinances which may be imposed by other government agencies (local, state, and
federal) which have jurisdiction.
8. The Permittee, at least six months prior to the expiration of this permit, shall request its extension.
Upon receipt of the request, the Division will review the adequacy of the residuals land application
program described therein, and if warranted, shall extend the permit for such period of time and under
such conditions and limitations as it may deem appropriate.
9. This permit may be modified, or revoked and reissued to incorporate any conditions, limitations and
monitoring requirements the Division deems necessary in order to adequately protect the environment
and public health.
12

10. This permit shall become voidable unless the agreements between the Permittee and the
landowner(s)/lessee(s), and/or operator(s), are in full force, and in effect. The landowner agreements
shall be considered expired concurrent with the expiration date of the permit and must be renewed at
the same time the permit is renewed.
Permit issued this the eleventh day of January, 2002
