Residual solids drying and/or storage areas shall be designed, constructed.. operated, and maintained to prevent the washout or inundation due to floods with a 100-year return frequency. 15. Residual solids shall be removed from storage tanks or areas before capacity is reached and land-applied or transported off-site for disposal immediately upon removal. 16. Residual solids removed for off-site disposal shall be transported in leak-proof containers to an appropriately permitted recycling or disposal facility6 The Discharger shall obtain receipts from the receiving facility. 17. If residual solids are applied to lands: a. Land application methods, rates, and management practices shall be in accordance with those proposed in the Report of Waste Discharge unless the Discharger finds that specific changes are necessary to ensure continued compliance with the conditions of the Waiver. b. If residual solids that contain free liquids are applied to land, the Discharger shall ensure that all liquid is absorbed into the soil within 12 hours of application and that no liquid runs off the application area. c. Residual solids shall be applied to land at agronomic rates for plant nutrients based on the nutrient content of the solids, the nutrient requirements of the crops or other vegetation grown on the land application area, and the amount of other forms of fertilizer used. d. Grape stems or other dry, nonputrescible matter (e.g., dry nut hulls) may be segregated from the rest of the residual solids and applied to the Discharger's property, including dirt roads, for erosion or dust control. However, such waste must be applied in a manner that prevents displacement by runoff into surface waters during storm events. e. Any on-site composting shall comply with the composting regulations found in Title 14 CCR, Division 7, Chapter 3.1 . s The reuse of residual solids as animal feed is not regulated under this Order. Such uses may be subject to local regulation. The Discharger is expected to take all reasonable steps to ensure that the end user has a local permit, if one is required.
