CFR Part 503 or the Process to Significantly Reduced Pathogens (PSRP) as defined in 40 CFR
Part 257 Appendix II shall be met. Additionally, an evaluation shall be performed which
demonstrates the ability of the residuals to comply with this requirement. Upon request, a
copy of this evaluation shall be submitted including all test results and calculations.
7. When residuals from an animal processing facility are being land applied, one of the following
shall be completed to control possible nuisance conditions:
a. Subsurface injection of the residuals,
b. Incorporation of the residuals into the soil within 24 hours of the application event, or
c. Addition of sufficient lime to the residuals to create a uniform mixture and maintain a pH
of 10 for a 30-minute period prior to being surface land applied.

9. An acceptable pH shall be maintained in the soil, greater than 6.0, on all land application sites
onto which residuals are land applied to ensure optimum yield for the crops specified in
Condition H. 13. The agronomist shall provide information on the pH best suited for the
specified crop and the soil type.
10. Should any of the residuals to be land applied contain a high salt content (i.e., high sodium
adsorption ratio (SAR) of five or higher), the exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) or other
method as approved by the Division, using the results from the annual soils analysis as
required by this permit, shall be monitored on all of the land application sites. The local
Cooperative Extension Office, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the
Natural Resource Conservation Service, a North Carolina -licensed Soil Scientist, or other
agronomist shall review the results and make recommendations regarding soil amendments
(e.g., gypsum, etc.) or other ameliorative mechanism for maintaining the integrity of the site in
terms of suitability for land application of residuals and maintaining conditions conducive to
3

crop growth. The Permittee shall implement such recommendations accordingly and shall
maintain written records of each monitoring event that includes details of the sites covered and
rate of soil amendment application..
11. 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 11. 13.) shall not be exceeded by all of the sources of PAN applied.
Should the maximum PAN loading rate be met or exceeded, then no additional residuals shall
be land applied to the site.
12. A suitable vegetative cover shall be maintained on land application sites onto which residuals
are land applied in accordance with the crop management plan outlined by the local
Cooperative Extension Office, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, the
Natural Resource Conservation Service, or other agronomist and as approved by the Division.
13. Residuals and other sources of PAN shall be land applied to all land application sites at
agronomic rates in accordance with the crop management plan outlined by the local
Cooperative Extension Office, the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer
Services, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, or other agronomist. Under no
circumstances shall the following PAN loading rates land applied to any site exceed the
following for the specified crops:

The Permittee shall apply for and receive a modification of this permit before land applying
residuals on any land application site that is to be established in a crop other than those listed
above. A maximum PAN loading rate for the desired crop shall be approved with the permit
modification.
If the land application sites are to be overseeded (e.g., bermuda grass in the summer and rye
grass in the winter with BOTH crops to receive residuals), then the second crop shall receive
an application of PAN at a rate of no greater than 50 pounds per acre per year. This practice
shall 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 residuals shall be land
applied to these sites because the PAN will essentially be returned to the soil.
Residuals shall not be land applied at rates greater than agronomic rates, unless authorized by
the Division.

14. Animals shall not be grazed on any land application site for 30 days after any residuals land
application event, Sites that are to be used for grazing shall have fencing that will be used to
prevent access after each event.
15. Food crops, feed crops, and fiber crops that do not come in contact with the residuals shall not
be harvested for 30 days after any residuals land application event.
16. Food crops with harvested parts that touch the residual/soil mixture and are totally above the
land surface (e.g., tobacco, melons, cucumbers, squash, etc.) shall not be harvested for 14
months after any residuals land application event.
17. Food crops with harvested parts below the surface of the land (i.e., root crops such as potatoes,
carrots, radishes, etc.) shall not be harvested for 20 months after any residuals land application
event when the residuals remain on the land surface for four months or longer prior to
incorporation into the soil.
18, Food crops with harvested parts below the surface of the land shall not be harvested for 38
months after any residuals land application event when the residuals remain on the land
surface for less than four months prior to incorporation into the soil.
19. Turf shall not be harvested for one year after any residuals land application event.
20. Adequate provisions shall be taken to prevent wind erosion and surface runoff from conveying
residuals from the land application sites onto adjacent properties or into any surface waters.
Disking, seeding and other tillage operations on the land application sites shall be performed
following the land contours to aid in controlling channeling of storm water.
21. Adequate procedures shall be provided to prevent surface runoff from carrying any land
applied or stored residuals into any surface waters.
22. Surface -applied residuals shall be plowed or diseed within 24 Hours after land application on
land application sites with no cover crop established.
23. For land application sites that are prone to flooding or within the 100-year flood elevation,
residuals shall be land applied only during periods of dry weather. The residuals shall be
incorporated into the soil within 24 hours after land application.
24. Residuals shall not be land applied during inclement weather or until 24 hours following a
rainfall event of 0.5-inch or greater in 24 hours. Any emergency residuals land application
measures shall first be approved in writing by the Division.
25. Residuals shall not be land applied to any land application site that is flooded, frozen, or
snow-covered.
26. Appropriate measures shall be taken to control public access to the land application sites
during active site use and for the 12-month period following the last residuals land application
event. Such controls may include the posting of signs indicating the activities being
conducted at each site.
