permit; may inspect or copy any records required to be maintained under the terms and conditions of
this permit; and may collect groundwater, surface water or leachate samples. [G.S. 143-215.3(a)(2)]
1. Failure to comply with the conditions and limitations contained herein may subject the Pernittee to an
enforcement action by the Division in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes 143-215.6A to
143-215.6C. [G.S. 143-215.6A to 143-215.6C]
2. This permit shall become voidable if the nitrogen -enriched ground water application events are not
carried out in accordance with the conditions of this permit. [15A NCAC 02T .0110]
3. This permit is effective only with respect to the nature and volume of the nitrogen -enriched ground
water described in the permit application and other supporting documentation. [G.S. 143-215.1]
4. The issuance of this permit does not exempt the Permittee from complying with any and all statutes,
rules, regulations, or ordinances, which may be imposed by other jurisdictional government agencies
(e.g., local, state, and federal). Of particular concern to the Division are applicable river buffer rules in
15A NCAC 02B .0200; erosion and sedimentation control requirements in 15A NCAC Chapter 4 and
under the Division's General Permit NCGO10000; any requirements pertaining to wetlands under 15A
NCAC 02B .0200 and 02H .0500; and documentation of compliance with Article 21 Part 6 of Chapter
143 of the General Statutes. [15A NCAC 02T .0105(c)(6)]
In the event the residuals program changes ownership or the Permittee changes his name, a formal
permit modification request shall be submitted to the Division. This request shall be made on official
Division forms, and shall include appropriate documentation from the parties involved and other
supporting documentation as necessary. The Permittee of record shall remain fully responsible for
maintaining and operating the residuals program permitted herein until a permit is issued to the new
owner. [15A NCAC 02T .0104]
6. This permit is subject to revocation or unilateral modification upon 60 days' notice from the Division
Director, in whole or part for the requirements listed in 15A NCAC 02T.01 10. [ 15A NCAC 02T .0110]
7. Unless the Division Director grants a variance, expansion of the permitted residuals program contained
herein shall not be granted if the Permittee exemplifies any of the criteria in 15A NCAC 02T .0120(b).
[15A NCAC 02T.0120]
8. The Permittee shall pay the annual fee within 30 days after being billed by the Division. Failure to pay
the annual fee accordingly shall be cause for the Division to revoke this permit. [15A NCAC 02T
.0105(e)(3)]
Permit issued this the 25' day of January 2016
