The notice provided to the biosolids monitor shall include the following information:

(1)

The name, address and telephone number of the applicant;

(2)

The tax map numbers of the parcels where land application will occur;

(3)

The name, address and telephone number of the owner of the property where the land application will occur;

(4)

The name, address and telephone number of all adjoining landowners;

(5)

The name, address and telephone number of the hauler of the biosolids;

The biosolids monitor will notify adjoining landowners in writing in advance of field operations by the permittee.

Potential conflicts between operating schedules and adjoining landowner activities will be brought to the attention of the permittee in writing at least one week in advance of the scheduled activity so that the schedule for spreading biosolids can be adjusted to minimize potential nuisance.

(e)

The county shall review the documentation provided with the notice and shall notify the applicant in writing of any deficiencies in the submittal within twenty days of receipt. The applicant will have ten business days to correct and amend the deficiencies unless otherwise permitted by the county in writing.

(f)

At least fourteen days prior to the anticipated land application of biosolids to any site within Isle of Wight County, the permittee shall post a conspicuous sign, of a type approved by the biosolids monitor, which shall state the approximate date of the proposed application, the name and telephone number of the biosolids monitor or his designee, and the name and telephone number of a contact person for the permittee.
