Dear Ms. Mushinski:
After receiving your input concerning my site visit with Mr. Wells I have consulted with
the Divisions permitting unit and issuing engineer. Their interpretation of permit
conditions are as follows:
1. 415,000 qpd monthly average: This value does not refer to the amount of
wastewater spray irrigated. It is listed in Attachment (A) under effluent
characteristics as the flow in conduit, or through the treatment system. This
refers to the facilities effluent discharge that reaches the (treatment process)
stationary screens, screw presses, screw conveyors, etc., before it enters the
27 acre treated wastewater storage lagoon. Before the addition of the new
fields (1 — 18a) the flow interpretation was. never an issue. The amount of flow
the facility was allowed to produce (effluent) and then irrigate was the same
numerical value. The actual amount that is now allowed to be sprayed on
Allen's acreage (old fields and, new) has increased from 415,000 gpd monthly
average, to 667,032 gallons per monthly average. The original 415,000 gpd
monthly average was not changed with the addition of the new fields. This
allows the original fields (A, B, C and D) to avoid falling under the 2T rules. If
the original fields were shifted to the 2T regulations the allowable irrigation
rates would shift froni theoretical yield rates to realistic yield rates.
2. Limits for Fields (A, B, C and D): I agree with your interpretation. Field A(1-
9) should have its application amounts totaled and reported as field A. This is
not what is being reported. The monthly report (NDAR) makes no reference to
field A, butreports it as Al — A9 and likewise for fields B, C and D. What we
need is for Mr. Wells to continue to maintain his records just as he does but
report the cumulative totals for fields A, B, C and D. Another option would be
to submit a minor modification to change the; field names to what isbeing
reported. I feel the first option is the easiest but either will work for us. The
reporting method for the Rowan Road fields is fine. The last reporting issue is
the new cumulative loading sheet that tracks PAN (plant available nitrogen).

Each new field that falls under 2T regulation requires submission of this data.
Mr. Wells has already been keeping this data and has access to therequired
form.
3. Cover crop conditions on Rowan Road fields (1 -18a): The major concern
here is that some of the new fields (1 -18a) being irrigated do not have a
seasonal winter crop. This fact is supported by the monthly reports that indicate
irrigation on fields that have been visually verified with only dormant coastal
bermuda. If a seasonal winter crop was planted, the crop did not germinate. Mr.
Wells has been informed of this issue and asked not to spray on fields without a
seasonal winter crop to uptake the nutrients.
look forward to discussing any of these items with you. If we can be of any assistance,
please call or e-main us anytime. [phone].
Thank you,

3) Cover crop condition on Fields A, B, C, D — We understand this concern and are getting some professional input
on how to improve the cover crop on these fields. It may include broadleaf herbicide applications and/or re -
sprigging with coastal Bermuda grass. It will be necessary to stage the cover crop repairs/improvements so all
the fields are not out of service at once. As soon as we work out a plan, we will let you know.
In conclusion, we respectively disagree. on the interpretation of the -compliance point for the 415,000 gpd limit and how
the loading limits on Field A, B, C, and D are applied. Please give me a call to discuss at your convenience. Thank you!

Subject: Allens - Turkey - 3 concerns
Hello Mr. Honeycutt —
I spoke with Reid Wells yesterday about three items that you brought up during the site visit the day prior. We
appreciate you bringing these concerns to our attention and your willingness to discuss them.- It is our intention to
comply with each and every requirement in the permit, but we would first like to confirm a few things on the items of
concern. I would like to discuss these con cerns,with you, but thought it would be more productive to first e-mail our
understanding and basis for how we had been interpreting it.
1) 415,000 gpd limit — Allens has always interpreted that the 415,000 gallons per day limitation is on a monthly
average basis, based on wastewater irrigated. So, each day is not limited to 415,000 gallons per day, but the
average for the month needs to be less than that. We note that this limit is listed in the table labeled "effluent
characteristics", at sample point "WWTF effluent", and is listed alongside all the wastewater sample parameters
that are collected of wastewater to .be irrigated (not the wastewater going to the lagoons). If the limit was
based on wastewater generated at the plant, going to the wastewater system, shouldn't that be called
"wastewater influent"? I've copied that table below.

2) Limits for Fields A, B, C, and D —The permit list a numerical, hydraulic limit for Field A (1-9) not individual limits
for Zone Al, Zone A2, etc. Therefore we have always compared the collective amount of irrigation in Field A (all
zones) to the application limit for Field A. In contrast, Rowan Road has individual limits for each zone listed
(Zone 1, 18a, etc.). To be consistent, if Zone Al was to be calculated separately from Zone A8, wouldn't they be
listed separately like they are for Rowan Road?
