adsorption ratio (SAR) of 10 or higher without prior written Division approval. The Permittee may
seek approval by demonstrating that the entity accepting the residuals is: aware of the effects of a high
SAR content; has agreed on proper residual application rates; and has agreed to operational
considerations to ensure that the high SAR content will not adversely impact the receiving sites.
Recommendations regarding sodium application rate, soil amendments (e.g., gypsum, etc.) or a
mechanism for maintaining site integrity and conditions conducive to crop growth, can be obtained
from the local Cooperative Extension Office, the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services,
the Natural Resource Conservation Service, a North Carolina Licensed Soil Scientist, or an agronomist.

III. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The residuals management program shall be properly maintained and operated at all times. The
program shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent any
contravention of surface water or groundwater standards. [ 15A NCAC 02T .1110]
2. The Permittee shall maintain an approved Operation and Maintenance Plan (O&M Plan) Modifications
to the O&M Plan shall be approved by the Division prior to utilization of the new plan. The O&M Plan,
at the minimum, shall include:

b. Maintenance schedules;
c. Safety measures;
d. Spill response plan;
e. Inspection plan including the following information:
i. Names and/or titles of personnel responsible for conducting the inspections;

residuals gathered during a particular sampling event. The sampling plan shall account for any
foreseen fluctuations in residuals quality and indicate the most limiting times for residuals to
meet pathogen reduction requirements (e.g. facilities that distribute multiple times per year but
have an annual sampling frequency, may need to sample during winter months when pathogen
reduction is most likely to be negatively affected by cold temperatures).
