IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
1. Land Application Site Requirements:
a. Each land application site identified with a GW-A in the most recently -certified Attachment B of this
permit is dominated by soils with a mean seasonal high water table greater than three feet below the
land surface. Residuals land application events may occur on these sites throughout the year.
b. Each land application site identified with a GW-B in the most recently -certified Attachment B of this
permit is dominated by soils with a mean seasonal high water table between one and three feet below
the land surface. Residual land application events on these sites shall be prohibited from December
through March, inclusive. No residuals shall be land applied to these sites when the vertical
separation between the depth of residuals land application and the water table is less than three feet.
The actual water table depth for seasonally-restricted.soils shall be verified by soil borings within 24
hours prior to any residuals land application event that occurs from April through November,
inclusive. The number of borings advanced shall be sufficient to characterize water table conditions
across the land application site adequately. Any open borings shall be properly filled with native soil,
prior to the residuals land application event, -to decrease the chance of any residuals contaminating
the groundwater.
2. Applicable Boundary Requirements:
a. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for residuals land application programs is specified by
regulations in 15A NCAC 2L (i.e., "Groundwater Classifications and Standards"). The .Compliance
Boundary for each land application site is established at either 250 feet from the residuals land
application area or 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is closest to the residuals land
application area. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance
Boundary is subject to immediate remediation action according to 15A NCAC 2L .0106 (d)(2).
b. The REVIEW BOUNDARY shall be established around each land application site midway between
the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the residuals Iand application area. Any exceedance
of Groundwater Quality Standards at the Review Boundary shall require action in accordance with
15A NCAC 2L .0106 (d)(2).
Additional Requirements:
a. Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be provided.
V. INSPECTIONS
Prior to each residuals land application event, the Permittee or his designee shall inspect the residuals
storage, transport, and application facilities to prevent malfunctions and deterioration, operator errors, and
discharges that 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 land application sites or

accordance with the conditions of this permit, the supporting materials, and in the manner approved by
the Division.
2. This permit shall be effective only with, respect to the nature and volume of residuals described in the
application and other supporting data.
3. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this permit may subject the Permittee to an

through § 143-215.6C.
4. The annual administering and compliance fee shall 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

5. The issuance of this permit does not preclude the Permittee from complying with any and all statutes,
rules, regulations, or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies (i.e., local, state, and
federal) which have jurisdiction, including, but not limited to, applicable river buffer rules in 15A NCAC
2B .0200, soil erosion and sedimentation control requirements in 15A NCAC Chapter 4 and under the
Division's General Permit NCG0100000, and any requirements pertaining to wetlands under 15A NCAC
2B .0200 and 15A NCAC .0500.
6. This permit may be modified, revoked, and/or reissued to incorporate any conditions, limitations and
monitoring requirements the Division deems necessary in order to protect the environment and public
health adequately.
7. The Permittee, at least six months prior to the expiration of this permit, shall request its extension. Upon
receipt of the request, the Division shall review the adequacy of the facilities and 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.
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 to change the name of the Permittee, a formal permit request
shall be submitted to the Division documentation from the parties involved and other supporting materials
as may be appropriate. The approval of this request shall be considered on its merits and may or may not
be approved.
