Specific information includes site-specific information that DEQ may consider when drafting the permit modification, the standard content of permits and how the public can provide comment on a draft permit modification. The permit modification would authorize land application to an additional 3,868.2 acres of agricultural land at 197 sites located within Bedford County at controlled rates protective of water quality and human health.
