Sinc ely, Erick Saunders, l~ngiriee Division of Water Resources cc: Raleigh Regional Office, Water Quality Regional Operations Section (Electronic Copy) Kevin D. Davidson, PE — Agri -Waste Technology (Electronic Copy) Permit Application File WQ004069 North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Water Resources E Q 512 North Salisbury Street i 1617 Mail Service Center I Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 1F'MH �D� 919.707.900o Mr. Jerry Weaver April 16, 2019 Page 2 of 2 A. Soil Evaluation: 1. Only one soil boring description was submitted inside the proposed waste irrigation area. However, the Division's regional soil scientist indicated that this description does not appear to describe other parts of the proposed irrigation area. Additional soil boring logs shall be performed within the proposed waste irrigation area to verify the field description and depth to the Seasonal High Water Table (SHWT). 2. The full extent of the proposed irrigation field was not able to be determined by the regional soil scientist because the area was not flagged. Mark the boundaries of the irrigation field so that the regional soil scientist can inspect the field. 3. The proposed field location is directly adjacent to the 100-year flood zone. Due to the proximity of the field to this zone, the extent of the Flood Hazard Soils should be determined in the field with respect to the proposed irrigation area to determine if the proposed irrigation area has adequate separation to the SHWT in accordance with 15A NCAC 02T .0605(p)-(q). B. Engineering Plans: 1. The property layout map on WW-2 includes a 50' stream buffer, but the setback to surface waters such as intermittent and perennial streams is 100' according to 15A NCAC 02T .0606(a). Please amend this buffer. 2. The property layout map on WW-2 does not include the location of wetlands in the northeast of the property as acquired from National Wetlands Inventory data as shown on this map. Please add this feature to the map as well as the 100 foot buffer as required by 15A NCAC 02T .0606(a). C. Site Map: 1. See B.1. and B.2. D. Recommendations: Field work that should be performed prior to Division's soil scientists second visit include additional soil borings in the proposed field and delineation of all proposed facilities. These facilities include the house location, the treatment tanks, and the irrigation site. The regional soil scientist indicated that there are potential wetland areas on the site. These wetlands were potentially within the irrigation area, though the location and extent of the feature is unknown. If there are any areas inside or within 100 feet of the proposed irrigation area that could be considered a wetland are noticed while flagging the irrigation area, a wetland determination is recommended. If inspection the Division finds evidence of wetlands within these areas during the second site inspection, a wetland determination may be required. 3. We recommend that consultants meet with Division staff at the site to discuss the application after the additional field work has been completed. §AW LL
