The issuance of a COC to operate under this General Permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for compliance with all applicable surface water, wetlands, groundwater and air quality standards or for damages to surface waters, wetlands or groundwaters resulting from the animal operation. 2. The maximum waste level in lagoons/storage ponds shall not exceed that specified in the facility's CAWMP. At a minimum, maximum waste level for lagoons/storage ponds must not exceed the level that provides adequate storage to contain the 25-year, 24-hour storm event plus an additional one (1) foot of structural freeboard except that there shall be no violation of this condition if: (a) there is a storm event more severe than a 25-year, 24-hour event, (b) the Permittee is in compliance with its CAWMP, and (c) there is at least one (1) foot of structural freeboard. 11 February 20, 2009 Permit Number AWG200000 In addition to the above requirements, for new and expanding farms with lagoon and storage pond designs completed after September 1, 1996, storage must also be provided for the heavy rainfall factor for the lagoons/storage pond. In case of lagoons/storage ponds in series that are gravity fed, the 25-year, 24-hour storm event and/or the heavy rainfall factor storage requirement for the system may be designed into the lowest lagoon/storage pond in the system. However, adequate freeboard must be designed into the upper lagoons/storage ponds to allow sufficient storage to prevent the waste level from rising into the structural freeboard while the storm water is draining into the lowest structure in the system. 3. Any containment basin, such as a lagoon or a storage pond, used for waste management shall continue to be subject to the conditions and requirements of this General Permit until properly closed. When the containment basin is properly closed in accordance with the NRCS NC Conservation Practice Standard No. 360 "Closure of Waste Impoundments," February 2008 or any subsequent amendment,the containment basin shall not be subject to the requirements of this General Permit. The Permittee must submit a letter to the Division to request rescission of the COC by providing documentation of closure of all containment basins. Closure shall also include a minimum of 24 hours pre-notification of the Division and submittal of the Animal Waste Storage Pond and Lagoon Closure Report Form to the address identified on the form within fifteen(15)days of completion of closure. 4. This General Permit allows for the distribution of up to four cubic yards of manure per visit to individuals for personal use. The Permittee must provide the recipient(s)with information on the nutrient content of the manure. Distribution of greater quantities must be to individuals or businesses permitted to distribute the waste, or to be land applied to sites identified in the Permittee's CAWMP. The Permittee must inform the recipient(s) of his/her responsibilities to properly manage the land application of manure. Record keeping for the distribution of manure up to four (4) cubic yards per visit to individuals for personal use is not required. 5. The annual permit fee shall be paid by the Permittee within thirty(30) days after being billed by the Division. Failure to pay the fee accordingly constitutes grounds for revocation of its COC to operate under this General Permit, 6. Failure of the Permittee to maintain, in full force and effect, lessee and landowner agreements, which are required in the CAWMP, shall constitute grounds for revocation of its COC to operate under this General Permit. 7. A COC to operate under this General Permit is not transferable. In the event there is a desire for the facility to change ownership, or there is a name change of the Permittee, a Notification of Change of Ownership form must be submitted to the Division, including documentation from the parties involved and other supporting materials as may be appropriate. This request shall be submitted within sixty (60) days of change of ownership. The request will be considered on its merits and may or may not be approved. 8. A COC to operate under this General Permit is effective only with respect to the nature and volume of wastes described in the application and other supporting data. The Permittee shall notify the Division immediately of any applicable information not provided in the permit application. Any proposed modification to an animal waste management system including installation of lagoon covers shall require approval from the Division prior to construction. 12 February 20, 2009 Permit Number AWG200000 9.. If the Permittee wishes to continue an activity regulated by this General Permit after the expiration date of this General Permit, the Permittee must apply for and obtain a new COC. Renewal applications must be filed at least 180 days prior to the expiration of the General Permit. 10 The issuance of a COC to operate under this General Permit does not prohibit the Division from reopening and modifying the General Permit or COC, revoking and reissuing the General Permit or COC, or terminating the General Permit or COC as allowed by the appropriate laws, rules,and regulations. 11. The Director may require any person, otherwise eligible for coverage under this General Permit, to apply for an individual permit by notifying that person that an application is required. 12. The Groundwater Compliance Boundary is established by 15A NCAC 2L .0102 and 15A NCAC 2T .0103. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to the requirements of 15A NCAC 2L and the Division in addition to the penalty provisions applicable under the North Carolina General Statutes. 13. Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more,the Permittee must submit documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking of the facility. VI. PENALTIES 1. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this General Permit; the facility's COC; the facility's CAWMP; and/or applicable state law; may subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division including but not limited to the modification of the animal waste management system, civil penalties, criminal penalties and injunctive relief. 2. The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this General Permit. Any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of state law and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit coverage termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit coverage renewal application. 3. It shall not be a defense for a Permittee in an enforcement action to claim that it would have been necessary to halt or.reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the conditions of this General Permit. VII. DEFINITIONS 25-year, 24-hour rainfall or storm event means the maximum 24-hour precipitation event with a probable recurrence interval of once in 25 years, as defined by the National Weather Service in Technical Paper Number 40, "Rainfall Frequency Atlas of the United States," May 1961, and subsequent amendments, or equivalent regional or state rainfall probability information developed therefrom. Agronomic rates means the amount of animal waste and/or other nutrient sources to be applied to lands as outlined in NRCS NC Conservation Practice Standards No. 590 "Nutrient Management" and No. 633 "Waste Utilization" or as recommended by the NCDA&CS and the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service at the time of certification of the Animal Waste Management Plan by the appropriate certified technical specialist. Amendment to the CAWMP means a change and/or addition to a part(s) of the plan, and requires that the change and/or addition adhere to current applicable standards. The following are examples of amendments to the CAWMP: 13 February 20, 2009 Permit Number AWG200000 • In an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes 25% or less of the N generated is considered a plan amendment. Additional acreage needed to facilitate the change in crops and/or cropping pattern is permissible and considered part of the amendment. • The addition of winter crops and/or interseeded perennial crops are considered amendments to an existing CAWMP when the operation does not require additional acreage and/or crops for N utilization, and does not exceed the 25%criteria stated above. • When a CAWMP cannot meet N utilization requirements due to land lost to irrigation inefficiency (usable versus total acres), then the CAWMP may be amended to increase available acreage and/or change the crop.for N utilization. This is the only exception to the 25%N criteria for plan revision. • Inclusions of emergency action plans, and insect, odor and mortality checklists are considered CAWMP amendments. • Including additional acreage for land application beyond what is required in the existing CAWMP is considered a plan amendment. Animal feeding operation means a lot or facility (other than an aquatic animal production facility) where the following conditions are met: (i) animals (other than aquatic animals)have been, are, or will be stabled or confined and fed or maintained for a total of forty five (45) days or more in any twelve (12) month period, and (ii) crops, vegetation, forage growth, or post-harvest residues are not sustained in the normal growing season over any portion of the lot or facility. Two or more animal feeding operations under common ownership are considered to be a single animal feeding operation if they adjoin each other, or if they use a common area or system for the disposal of wastes. Certification means technical specialist certification of the CAWMP in accordance with the requirements of 15A NCAC 02T .1304. It is unrelated to terms "Annual Certification" as used in Condition 111.14 of this Permit, and the "No Discharge Certification Option" allowed by the November 2008 EPA CAFO Rule. Ditch means any man made channel for the purpose of moving water off a site to the surface waters. Excessive Ponding means any area of the application field where visible liquid waste is ponded on the surface of the land application site more than four (4) hours following the application of waste. Excessive ponding also means any areas where the ponding of waste has resulted in crop failure. Groundwaters means any subsurface waters, as defined in 15A NCAC 2L .0102. Land application means the application of wastewater and/or waste solids onto or incorporation into the soil. Major changes to the CAWMP means changes in the number of animals, type of operation (feeder to finish to wean to feeder), retrofit of a lagoon, installation of a new irrigation system, and similar type changes. Recertification is only required for major changes to the CAWMP. Major changes to a facility must first be approved by DWQ. The new CAWMP and the certification shall be submitted with a request that the COC be amended to reflect the changes. The facility may not make the changes until a new or amended COC has been issued. 14 February 20, 2009 Permit Number AWG200000 Revision to the CAWMP means a change to an entire CAWMP to meet current applicable standards. A CAWMP must be revised if the operation cannot utilize all N nitrogen generated by the animal production in accordance with the existing CAWMP, except for the specific conditions noted in the CAWMP amendment criteria as previously defined. For an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes more than 25% of the N generated by the operation is considered a plan revision. Any change to an existing CAWMP, whether an amendment or revision, must be signed and dated by both the producer and a technical specialist for the new CAWMP to be valid. A revision of the CAWMP does not require recertification. State Waters means all surface waters, wetlands, groundwaters and waters of the United States located in the State. Surface Waters means any stream, river, brook, swamp, lake, sound, tidal estuary, bay, creek, reservoir, waterway, or other surface body or surface accumulation of water, whether public or private, or natural or artificial, that is contained in, flows through, or borders upon any portion of the State of North Carolina, including any portion of the Atlantic Ocean over which the State has jurisdiction as well as any additional Waters of the United States which are located in the State. Waste means manure, animal waste, process wastewater and/or sludge generated at an animal feeding operation. Wetlands means areas that are inundated or saturated by an accumulation of surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances do support a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions, as defined in 15A NCAC 2B .0202.

The farm is located in northeast Randolph County(Liberty Township), approximately seven miles west of Liberty,NC on Williams Dairy Rd. The physical address of the farm is 3385 Williams Dairy Rd.,Liberty,NC. Animal waste is applied from two sources: broadcast solids and irrigated liquids. Waste is scraped from the lot into an open stack with the solids seperated using pickets. The liquid waste from this operation then drains to the single waste storage pond,which is a dairy liquid manure slurry. There are 8.52 acres under solid set irrigation for the disposal of the liquid waste from the storage pond. The remaining solid waste is broadcast applied using a manure spreader. Refer to the included maps for details about field location, size, soil types, etc. The included maps also indicate the approximate location of irrigation coverage in the two fields (Tract 4490)with solid set irrigation. There are 9 hydrants in field 18 and 5 hydrants in field 20. The predominant crop rotation on this farm is corn silage followed by small grain silage. Conventional tillage is used for corn production so that broadcast animal waste is soil-incorporated. A no-till planter is used for planting small grain into corn stubble. For this crop waste is broadcast applied without incorporation. Pasture and hay land are integral to the dairy operation and are maintained under a high level of management. Rotational grazing is used on much of the pasture land. Fescue pasture is overseeded with Marshall Ryegrass in the fall to extend the season of high-quality pasture for the cattle and also help conserve soil, water and nutrients. The DWQ Facility I.D. is AWC760050. This dairy operation lies within the Cape Fear River Basin. The five tracts that comprise this dairy farm contain and/or border several unnamed tributaries of Sandy Creek and two of the tracts border Sandy Creek directly. Nutrients are to be applied according to the attached Nutrient Management Plan in order to maximize plant production,properly utilize manure on these fields, and minimize off-site transport of the nutrients applied. This plan identifies the amount, source,placement, and timing of nutrients to be applied for these fields. Nitrogen application rates are based on realistic yield expectations for the crop, soil type and field slope. Application rates for other nutrients and amendments are based on a soil test. Waste applications must be made in accordance with land application setbacks as set by the state of North Carolina,as well as applicable federal and local laws. Current setbacks are available at the NC Division of Soil&Water Conservation 1217 guidance website: http://www.enr.state.nc.us/DSWC/pages/guidance—does.html Because animal waste is being applied, all fields in this plan have been evaluated for potential phosphorous loss using the Phosphorous Loss Assessment Tool (PLAT). (*Phosphorous lost from fields can become pollution in surface water through surface runoff,erosion of soil or by leaching). The PLAT rating for each field is listed in the Planned Crops Summary section of this waste plan. A field with a PLAT rating of'low'or'medium'requires no additional measures. A rating of high will require reduced -- -----------------------------------------g------------------- Preview Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 01-16-2008 Narrative Page Page 1 of 3 Narrative manure applications, and a rating of'very high'will require ceasing all waste applications to that field. All PLAT calculations for this plan were done using the most recent waste analysis report(W07756) dated 3/30/2007. Soils information was obtained from the most recent soil test report(32088)dated 4/17/2007. All maps included with this plan have been generated specifically for use with Nutrient Management planning and implementation. Aerial images from the Farm Service Agency's (2006)National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP)were used for generation of plan maps with photographs. Road, stream, soils and parcel information were obtained from Randolph County's GIS database. Important considerations: *Soil tests are to be taken annually on all fields that receive animal waste. *Waste analyses are to be taken within 60 days of applying waste from a source. *Manure should not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting new crops or to forages breaking dormancy. Otherwise applications are made to actively growing crops. *When any commercial fertilizers are used(including starter fertilizer),they need to be included in the nutrient budget and recorded on the appropriate record-keeping form. *Liming material should be applied as indicated by the soil test to adjust soil pH to the specific range required by the crop or crops in the rotation for optimum availability and utilization of nutrients. *Application equipment(irrigation, honey wagons,manure spreaders, etc.)are to be properly calibrated to ensure uniform distribution of material at planned rates. *Accurate harvest records are always beneficial for future planning and decision making.

Realistic Yield estimates are also provided for each crop,as well as the crop's P205 Removal Rate. The Leaching Index(LI)and the Phosphorous Loss Assessment Tool(PLAT)Rating are also provided for each field,where available. If a field's PLAT Rating is High, any planned manure application is limited to the phosphorous removal rate of the harvested plant biomass for the crop rotation or multiple years in the crop sequence. Fields with a Very High PLAT Rating should receive no additional applications of manure. Regardless of the PLAT rating,starter fertilizers may be recommended in accordance with North Carolina State University guidelines or recommendations. The quantity of P205 applied to each crop is shown in the following table if the field's PLAT rating is High or Very High.

This table provides a nutrient balance for the listed fields and crops for each year of the plan. Required nutrients are based on the realistic yields of the crops to be grown,their nutrient requirements and soil test results. The quantity of nutrient supplied by each source is also identified. The total quantity of nitrogen applied to each crop should not exceed the required amount. However,the quantity of other nutrients applied may exceed their required amounts. This most commonly occurs when manure or other byproducts are utilized to meet the nitrogen needs of the crop.

In such situations, additional nitrogen applications from nonorganic sources may be required to supply the recommended amounts of nitrogen.

Fields that receive manure must have an annual soil analysis for these elements. High levels of zinc and copper can adversely affect plant growth. Alternative crop sites must be used when the concentration of these metals approach excessive levels. Site life can be estimated by dividing the amount of copper and zinc to be applied in lbs/acre by 0.036 and 0.071,respectively and multiplying the result by 0.85. By adding this quantity to the current soil index for copper or zinc,we can predict life of the site for waste disposal. In addition to copper and zinc indices,this table also provides a summary of lime recommendations for each crop based on the most recent soil sample. Application of lime at recommended rates is necessary to maintain soil pH in the optimum range for crop production. Required Soil Test Values Lime Recom.

Available storage capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero. Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design storage capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage capacity,this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated. If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application.Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste.If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 -Filter Strips). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance). 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies. ---- --------- -------- - -------------------------------------------- --------------- 230981 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 1/16/2008 Specification Page 1 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters. 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over-spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways,waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. -------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- ---- 230981 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 1/16/2008 Specification Page 2 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre-plant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage(pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate-determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. -------------------------------------------------------------- - - 230981 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 1/16/2008 Specification Page 3 Crop Notes The following crop note applies to field(s): 18(N1), 18(N2), 18(N3), 18(N4), 20(SI), 20(S2), 20(S3), 20(S4),20(S5), 6 Fescue: Piedmont Adaptation: Well-adapted.

Primary Second ry Routine Mortality Burial three feet beneath the surface of the ground within 24 hours of knowledge of animal death. The burial must be at least 300 feet from any flowing stream or public body of water (G.S.106-403). The bottom of the burial pit should be at least one foot above the seasonal high water table.Attach burial location map and plan.

Any method which, in the professional opinioni;of the State Veterinarian, would make possible the salvage of part of a dead animal's value without endangering human or animal health. (Written approval by the State Veterinarian must be attached). Mass Mortality Plan Mass mortality plans are required for farms covered by an NPDES permit. These plans are also recommended for all animal operations. This plan outlines farm-specific mortality man- agement methods to be used for mass mortality. The NCDA&CS Veterinary Division sup- ports a variety of emergency mortality disposal options; contact the Division for guidance. • A catastrophic mortality disposal plan is part of the facility's CAWMP and is activated when numbers of dead animals exceed normal mortality rates as specified by the State Veterinarian. • Burial must be.done in accordance with NC General Statutes and NCDA&CS Veterinary Division regulations and guidance. • Mass burial sites are subject to additional permit conditions(refer to facility's animal waste management system permit). • In the event of imminent threat of a disease emergency,the State Veterinarian may enact additional temporary procedures or measures for disposal according to G.S. 106-399.4.

The inspector should check the condition of the dam and the emergency spillway. The inspector will need to look for signs of slope failure and seepage on the back slope and at the toe of the dam. Also, a very close look will need to be made to .check for signs of damage due to varmint(ground hogs, muskrats, etc.)burrows. A visual inspection should also be made after heavy rainfall events to ensure that the structure is not experiencing erosion rills or gullies. Any problems found should be brought to the attention of the technical specialist for repair recommendations. • The waste storage pond will need to be mowed twice a year. All eroded areas shall be repaired and stabilized. Areas that do not have an adequate ground cover shall be reseeded to provide a vegetative cover sufficient restrain erosion. The dam and all constructed slopes will need to be fertilized annually with 500 pounds of 10-10-10 per acre or its equivalent. • Maintain all waste handling equipment—pumping, loading, hauling, spreading, etc.-- in accordance with the manufacturers specifications. • All waste application shall be completed in accordance with the waste utilization plan. The waste storage pond will be emptied at the end of each design storage period -days or_.4- - months) or as needed due to excess rainfall. See the attached NC Agricultural Extension Service Agri-Waste Management Publication by Dr. James C. Barker for information on sampling and testing of the effluent.
