If residuals generated by a particular residuals source -generating facility are insufficient to require a
land application event during a required sampling period as specified in the most recently -certified
Attachment A of this permit (e.g. no land applications occur during an entire year when annual
monitoring is required), the Permittee shall rake up, the missing sampling either by taking additional
samples during land application events previous to a planned period of inactivity or by taking
additional samples during land application events immediately following the period of inactivity. The
Permittee shall submit an annual report, as required in Condition IV.9., even in the event that no land
application events occur during an entire year; the annual report shall include an explanation of
additional sampling data intended to compensate for periods of inactivity, or and explanation for
missing sampling data.
After the residuals generated by a particular residuals source -generating facility have been monitored
for two years at the frequency specified in the most recently -certified Attachment A of this permit, the
Permittee may submit a request to the Division for a permit modification to reduce the frequency of
this monitoring requirement. The request must include notification from EPA that a reduced sampling
frequency has been approved as required by 40 CFR 503. 16(a)(2). In no case, however, shall the
frequency of this monitoring be less than once per year when a residuals land application event of
residuals generated by the residuals source -generating facility occurs during that year.
4. Residuals generated by each residuals source -generating facility listed in the most recently -certified
Attachment A of this permit shall be monitored for compliance with Condition 11.6. The monitoring
shall be performed at the frequency dependant on the output, as specified in the most recently -
certified Attachment A of this permit, and data to verify pathogen and vector attraction reduction of
the residuals shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for a minimum of five years. The required
data shall be specific to the stabilization process utilized, but also shall be sufficient to demonstrate
clear compliance with the Class A pathogen requirements and site restrictions in 15A NCAC 02T
.1106 (a) and (b), and one vector attraction reduction requirements in 15A NCAC 02T .1107 (a) shall
be met. In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certification statements concerning
compliance with pathogen reduction requirements, vector attraction reduction requirements, and
management practices shall be completed at the frequency specified in the most recently -certified
Attachment A of this permit by the proper authority or authorities, if more than one is involved (i.e.,
either the person who prepares the residuals, the person who derives the material, or the person who
applies the residuals). Only residuals that are generated by the residuals source -generating facilities
that are identified as being exempt from Condition II.6. in the most recently -certified Attachment A
of this permit shall not be required to comply with this monitoring requirement.
5. Laboratory analyses of parameters as required by Condition IV. I., Condition IV.2., Condition IV.3.,
and Condition IVA. shall be performed/gathered ort the residuals as they are to be distributed.
