(a) Land application of pollutant-bearing water must not be conducted within: | Surface applied | Applied beneath the surface |
| Surface waters or the surface conduit to a subsurface feature | 300 feet | 33 feet |
| Residence | 300 feet | To property line |
| Potable well or drinking water spring | 200 feet | 200 feet |
(b) The soil pH must be 5.5 or greater at the time the pollutant-bearing water is applied unless the commissioner determines that the soil pH should be higher to protect the environment or public health. The soil pH value shall be: (1) obtained by sampling the soil to the depth of cultivation or depth of placement of the pollutant-bearing water, whichever is greater;(2) analyzed by the electrometric method*;(3) collected as one (1) representative composite sample per every twenty-five (25) acres or fraction thereof within the application site; and(4) valid only if the analyses were performed within the last two (2) years of the date of application on the site.(c) Pollutant-bearing water must not be applied to land unless there is a minimum depth of twenty (20) inches of soil overlying bedrock.(d) Surface application of pollutant-bearing water on slopes greater than six percent (6%) is prohibited. *The electrometric method may be found in "Methods of Soil Analysis, Agronomy Monograph No. 9", C.A.
