maps. The residuals analysis indicate metals are below ceiling concentration limits. Pathogen and vector
attraction reduction requirements are being met by fecal coliform density demonstration and
incorporation. In 2018, only 31.08 total dry tons were land applied to 25.80 of 91.46 available acres. Field
loading rates for metals and PAN are being calculated, along with cumulative pollutant loading rates and
they are compliant.
The WiRO recommends issuance of the permit renewal.
