There will be two procedures designed to permit and authorize the land application of effluent and/or single pass noncontact cooling water and/or biosolids. Land application sites and/or effluent not meeting the requirements, limitations, prohibitions or conditions set forth in this chapter will not be permitted under Authorization by Rule but may still be eligible for a site specific permit or site specific language included in an NPDES permit for an individual wastewater treatment facility. Such a determination will be made by the Department. The two procedures necessary for these regulations are as follows:
001.01 Authorization by Rule. An NPDES permit allowing the land application of effluent and/or single pass noncontact cooling water and/or biosolids is hereby Authorized by Rule provided all of the requirements, conditions, limitations and prohibitions contained sections 002, 003, and 004 of this chapter or any other regulation contained in Title 119 pertaining to the land application itself, the land application site and the aforementioned land application materials are observed.001.02 Application for Site Specific Land Application Authorization. If a land application site and/or the land application material cannot meet all of the requirements, conditions, limitations or prohibitions contained in sections. 002, 003, and 004 of this chapter or any other regulation contained in Title 119 pertaining to the land application itself, the applicant may submit an application for a site specific land application permit and / or site specific language to be placed in an NPDES permit for an individual wastewater treatment facility. The determination to approve the permit will be made by the Department on a case by case basis.119 Neb. Admin. Code, ch. 4, § 001
