10. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for Class A distributed residuals land application programs is
specified by regulations in 15A NCAC 02L (i.e., "Groundwater Classifications and Standards"). The
Compliance Boundary for each bulk residuals 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. Per 15A NCAC 02T .0105(h), upon the request by the
Permittee the Compliance Boundary may be located closer to the waste disposal area (provided the
groundwater standards can be met at the newly established Compliance Boundary). Any approved
relocation of the COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY will be noted in the most recently -certified
Attachment B of this permit. An exceedance of Groundwater Standards at or beyond the Compliance
Boundary is subject to remediation action according to 15A NCAC 02L .0106(d)(2) as well as

affect the quality of the residuals. The sampling plan must account for any foreseen fluctuations
in compost residuals quality, and indicate sampling times accordingly to ensure compliance
during the most limiting times (e.g. small facilities that apply multiple times per year, but have an
annual sampling frequency may need to sample and document compliance with the pathogen
reduction requirements during winter months when pathogen reduction is most likely to be
negatively affected by cold temperatures).
