(b) No person shall apply bulk biosolids subject to the cumulative pollutant loading rates in Section 14(b) (ii) to agricultural land, forest, a public contact site, or a reclamation site if any of the cumulative pollutant loading rates in Section 14(b) (ii) has been reached.

(c) No person shall apply domestic septage to agricultural land, forest, or a reclamation site during a 365 day period if the annual application rate in Section 14(c) has been reached during that period.

(e) The person who applies biosolids to the land shall obtain information needed to comply with the requirements in this part.

  • (i) Before bulk biosolids subject to the cumulative pollutant loading rates in Section 14(b) (ii) are applied to the land, the person who proposes to apply the bulk biosolids shall contact the permitting authority to determine whether bulk biosolids subject to the cumulative pollutant loading rates in Section 14(b) (ii) have been applied to the site since July 20, 1993.

  • (iv) If bulk biosolids subject to the cumulative pollutant loading rates in Section 14(b) (ii) have been applied to the site since July 20, 1993, and the cumulative amount of each pollutant applied to the site in the bulk biosolids since that date is not known, an additional amount of each pollutant shall not be applied to the site.

(f) When a person who prepares bulk biosolids provides the bulk biosolids to a person who applies the bulk biosolids to the land, the person who prepares the bulk biosolids shall provide the person who applies the bulk biosolids notice and necessary information to comply with the requirements in this part.

(g) When a person who prepares biosolids provides the biosolids to another person who prepares the biosolids, the person who provides the biosolids shall provide the person who receives the biosolids notice and necessary information to comply with the requirements in this part.

(h) The person who applies bulk biosolids to the land shall provide the owner or lease holder of the land on which the bulk biosolids is applied notice and necessary information to comply with the requirements in this part.

  • (iii) The name, address, telephone number, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit number (if appropriate) for the person who prepares the bulk biosolids; and
  • (iv) The name, address, telephone number, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit number (if appropriate) and the state permit number of the person who will apply the bulk biosolids.

(j) Any person who land applies biosolids that were prepared outside of the state shall obtain a land application permit from the Water Quality Division, Department of Environmental Quality prior to the initial application of biosolids.

(k) Any person who land applies bulk biosolids subject to the cumulative pollutant loading rates in Section 14(b) (ii) shall provide written notice to the permitting authority, prior to the initial application of bulk biosolids to a land application site by the applier. The permitting authority shall retain and provide access to the notice. The notice shall include:
