<br />(I) The site-specific agronomic analysis required in subsection <br />81.5(A)(5)(b), <br /> <br />(II) An analysis, based on site-specific conditions, documenting the <br />expected removal of nitrogen and other nutrients or pollutants, <br />beyond that which occurs as a result of plant uptake, through <br />physical, chemical and biological mechanisms such as volatilization, <br />oxidation, adsorption, cation exchange, and denitrification; and <br /> <br />(III) If deemed necessary by the Director, a monitoring plan designed to <br />demonstrate that land application practices will not result in <br />exceedances of applicable water quality standards or numerical <br />protection levels. This monitoring plan may include such <br />procedures as deep soil tests below the root zone, and water quality <br />monitoring in the vadose and saturated zones of groundwater at the <br />site. <br /> <br />(ii) The Division shall review the land application plan described in <br />subsection 81.5(A)(5)(c)(i) to determine whether the plan is adequate to <br />demonstrate that the proposed land application rate will not result in <br />exceedances of applicable water quality standards or numerical <br />protection levels, The Division may grant an interim authorization for <br />land application at a rate calculated pursuant to this subsection (c) in <br />cases where it cannot make a determination as to whether exceedances <br />of water quality standards or numerical protection levels will result, <br />provided a monitoring plan as described in subsection 81.5 (A) (5) (c) (i) <br />(III) is implemented by the operator. The operator shall submit all <br />monitoring data to the Division. The Division may require the operator to <br />update or modify the land application plan as necessary to address <br />conditions revealed upon implementation of the menitoring plan. <br /> <br />(iii) The operator may be required to demonstrate that land application <br />practices at the facility are not resulting in exceedances of applicable <br />water quality standards or numerical protection levels at a point of <br />compliance established by the Division in accordance with section <br />41.6(0) of Regulation No. 41 the Basic Standards for Ground Water (5 <br />CCR 1002-41). If the site monitoring data obtained through the <br />operator's implementation of the monitoring plan' approved by the Division <br />pursuant to subsection 81.5 (A) (5) (c) (ii), or obtained otherwise, reveals <br />that nutrients or other pollutants are leaching into the vadose zone <br />beneath ,or downgradient from any application site, the Division may <br />require the operator to monitor the ground water at a point prior to the <br />pOint of compliance. Where a modeled attenuation of pollutants in the <br />vadose zone or in the ground water has been used as a basis for <br />determining that applicable water quality standards or numerical <br />protection levels will be met at the pOint of compliance, the Division may <br />require detection wells or other monitoring !llong one or more lines <br /> <br />11 <br />
