2. A suitable vegetative cover of fescue grass shall be maintained.
3. Irrigation shall not be performed during inclement weather or when the ground is in a
condition that will cause runoff.

5. The average annual weekly application rate shall not exceed 0.20 inches/acre.
Pa

6. The facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to
prevent the discharge of any wastewater resulting from the operation of this facility.
7. No type of wastewater other than that from Barnes Residence shall be sprayed onto the
irrigation area.
