§ 14-86. Complaint response.

(a)

The biosolids monitor shall immediately notify the Virginia Department of Health, the land applier or permittee and the owner of all complaints concerning the land application of biosolids.

(b)

The biosolids monitor shall immediately notify the owner and permittee of any failure to follow the requirements of the permit resulting in the improper application of biosolids or in the spillage of biosolids onto public streets or rights-of-way or on property outside the area authorized by the permit.

(c)

The permittee shall immediately respond to undertake appropriate corrective action for improperly applied biosolids, or to clean up biosolids spilled onto public streets, roadways or other unpermitted areas, immediately upon receiving such notification.

(d)

In the event that the permittee does not respond to notification of spillage or improper application within thirty-six hours, and, if the county conducts the cleanup of spilled biosolids, the permittee shall compensate the county for the actual costs of such cleanup.

(e)

The permittee is responsible for ensuring that the tracking of biosolids from land application sites onto public roads is minimized and that biosolids that are dragged or tracked out from land application sites are promptly removed from unauthorized lands and public roads and highways. For purposes of this subsection, the tracking or dragging of spillage onto lands other than as shown in the permit, including highways, is deemed to be improper application. (5-21-09.)
