The waste utilization plan is based on the soil types, crops to be grown, and method of
application for your particular operation, The waste from your animal facility must be land
applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant
nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer
required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization
plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each
application cycle. annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can
tie b-:si Anced for realistic yields of the crop to IL grovin,
Severai factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to
maximize the fs tilizar value of the w�ste and to ensure that it i in *;•,
environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not appiy more nitrogen than the crop can
utilize. Sail types are important as they have different infiltration rates; leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities and available water holding capacities. Normally waste! shall
not be applied to land eroding ai g realer ihan 5 tons per acre per year. i io not appiy waste
on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these
conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM
regulations. Vvind conditions should also be considered to avoid drlrL and downwind odor
problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the
potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop orapplied to bare
ground not more than ',30 days prior to planting. injecting roes waste or disking wiH cc.unserve
nutrients and reduce odor problems.
T he esi:irn'ated acies neede d to apply the animal waste- is based on typi ;al nutrient coiiteiit
for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be baked on the waste analysis
report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on the
printer saivipling Leciiniques, preparation and transfer of vva:;te samsplea to the lab for
analysis.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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 which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal
discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10.000 per day by the
Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer
either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the
waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he
shall provide NRCS with a copy of the Written agreement (sample enclosed) with a
landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land
for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the
responsit..ility of the owner of the facility to secure ann update of the Waste Utilization
Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals,
method Of 1.1ti0zat c.n, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic
crop yields based on the soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic
conditions and lev,,l J managerrvnt, urdwss there. arc regulations that restrict the rate
of application for other nutrients,
4. Arimal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System
(RMS) or an Alternative Conservation -System (ArS). If an ACS is used the soil loss
shall be no greater th-s:n 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be
used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers"
regi!+red by DEM. [See FOTC Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim)
- Ripanar Forest Suffs?rs.]
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste -or disking after waste application.
Was,to should not be applied when the wind is blowing.
6. Wiien animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil

System Calibration
Inf"ormarion presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation
conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates
change over time as equipmenr gets older and components wear. In particular,
pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use,
nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the
discharge rare while decreasing the wetted diameter.
You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed irr the:
design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequerrdy the
application uniformity. For example, operating the -system with excessive pressure
results in smaller droplets', greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the -
sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged
intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure, operating
below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application
uniformity.
For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to
ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every
three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at
several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to
collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because
they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount
without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets,
jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used. provided
the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring.
For sta onary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly
throughout the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling
guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction
of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both
sides of the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for all
nonuniformity of the application. On a windless- day, variation between containers
of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation
dealer or technical specialist for assistance.

OPERA.TTON & NLUNTENANCE PLAN
Prover lagoon liquid management sinould be a year-round priority. It is espeaiaIly
imgorant to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and
wet periods.
Ma3amtmm storage =aciry should be: available in the moon for periods when the
receiving =c is dormant (such as winte--time for be: udap ss) or when there are
extended ra!_ swells such as the thunde-storm season in the summerdme.. This Tams
.that at the inn signs of plant growth in the larar wintericariy sp} mg irrigatiorr ac^niffng to
a fa= waste mans ement plan: should be done whenever the: land is dry enough to
remove iagoca livid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for fug wet
periods. In the late summer/eariy all the lag own should be pumped down to the low
mom- (s=Fi-.-= 2-1) to allow for winter storage- Every efforr should be• made to
nuzb=afr>: the lagoon close to the mirdim= liquid level as -long as the weather and vast.
utUiza:tion- Dl= will allow it
Waiting until the lagoon has reached :s maximum storage �pacry before starting to
izrigg= does not live room for storing excess water during extended wet periods. _
Ovc=low from the Iagoon for any r.-- on except a S-year, 24--hour storm is a violation of
State law and subs ect to penalty action.
The routine r.�atenance of a lagoon involves the following:
Mzin.tenanc . of a veae:'ve cover for the darn.
Fescue or common be- udagrass. are the most common vegetative
cove.. The vegemdon should be ferd izad each year, if -needed, to
orals in a vigorous s-,2nd. The amount of ferdliz. amled should be
bzsed on a soils test_ but in the evenr that it is notvracacal to obmia
a soils test each year, tat lagoon ernbankrnent and surrounding areas
should be fer lized wit:•: 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or
equiv? lent.
3rush and trees on the ernbanl=ent must be controlled. This may be
done by mowing spraying, amazing, chopping, or a combination of
these practices. This should be done az least once a year and
possibly twice is years that weather conditions are favorable for
heavy vegetative growth.
NOTE If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to eater
thelagaon war,=. Such chemicals could harm the bact=iz in the lagoon that are trza int;
the waste.
Maznteaance insD--dons of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of.
the lagoon and at least monthly and a.ft` majorrairifali and.stonn events. Items to be-
checked should include, as a minimum, the following
Waste Inlet PiDes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes —look for.
1. separation of j oints
2- cocks or brea z
�. accumulation of salts or rrrinerals.
4. overall condition of pipes

Lagoon surfar---look for:
1. undesirable vegetative growth
?. floating or lodged debris
=mbanlanent-look for.
1. settlement, =scldng, or "jug" holes
2. side slope stabiiiry---slumps or bulges
I wet or damp areas on the back slope
.. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to line: damage due to wave action caused by strong .
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewails, thereby weal=dng the lagoon danr_
A good stand of vegetation will redu= the potential damage caused by wave acriorr- If
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, bares itr the.lagoorr may be
used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the darn: If yourlagoan has
any of th6s: features, you should call an appropriate experr familiar with design and
construction of waste Iagoons. You may need to provide a temporary -fix if there is a threat
of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious,
undez- king with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate tw.:Tnicai expert.
Transfer Pumps--cn ak for proper operation of:
1. recyclingpumas
2. irricr pumps
Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump ope.-a'don. An unusually loud or grinding
noise, or a large amount of vibration, nay indi6i that the pump is in new or rear or
replacement
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inserted and ope:ated,freouently enough so that you.
are not comofetely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform yourpumming
system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its Iow level. This will allow same
safer time should major repairs be required. Saving a.nearly full lagoon is not the time
to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if yourlagocn is full,
your neighbor's Iagoon is full also. You should consider maintainingan inventory of spa=
parts or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlem,
and parking lot runofr? away from your lagoon and other waste
treatment orstorage structures. The only water -that should.be
coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your -flushing
(wzshing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon- directly.
You should inspect your diversion system for the following:
1. adequate- vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3. ridge berm Height

Practice water conservation —minimize building water usage and
spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through
proper maintenance and water conservanon.
Minimize Feed .was -fie and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This
willreduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon
Ike P. 6 1_ .. ..�
Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and
the full temporary storage level.
Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the
minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1).
Stan irrigating at the earliest possible date in the snrina based on
nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that'temporary storage
will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly,
h-xigate in the Iate summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon
storage for the winter.
The lagoon liquid level siiou& never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest
aoint of the dam or embankment.
Do not uump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage
level unless you are r Mmoving sludge.
Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid
s=ace and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible.
Prevent additions of bedding materials, long -steamed forage or•vegemrion,
molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign mar=ials into the lagoon_
Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are installed.
Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges_
Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment
Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is
fuII or before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume. h
If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a
pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:

Identined problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should reword the level -of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain. (assumes theme is no pumping). This wM
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a c mi.n rainfallamount
(you must also be recording your rairsrall for this to work). Knowing this should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an inflow problem from a Rtrrace- water diversion or thee` may be seepage into the
lagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoon. Operation
Startup:
1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before
waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or. bank slopes.
3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pine extender on the
end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of L' a lagoon during initial
Wiling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of
the lining.
4: When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to rnazimize
bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather).
5. It is recommended that a new Iagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
worl�ng swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full.lagoon
liouid volume. This seeding should occour at East two weeks prior to the
addition of wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below
7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of I pound per 1000 cubic fee; of
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon licn_ lid
PH is between 7.5 and 8.0.
7. A dark color, Iack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate
biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended
the
se ese conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm
season.
The more f =uently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the bette* the
lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times dailv•are
optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained
and recharged each day, also work well.

proper lagoon sizing,
mechanical solids =aradon of flushed waste,
grviry settling of rushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
minimizing feed wastge and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored. Ion; terra will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal tom^:=doues:
Hire a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper agitator impeller
pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland;
and soil incorporate.
De -water the unner nart of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forage'.and; mix rerdaining sludge; pump into liouid sludge applicator, haul
and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the untie.- oars of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with d,2g line or sludgebaro-e: b--m
an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain oars:
into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader
onto cropland or forageiand; and soil incorporate.
Regardless or the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
stituea conts just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will -bee
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applicmions to that field and crop
requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in derail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Cloy:
attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains
intact If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should
stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be
removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and.heavy metal content
than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus
and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of
erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphores, it:
should be mmlied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with oche;
wastes, always have your Iagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of sludge will incr=e the amount of odor at the waste application site_
Extra pre--mumcn should be used to observe the wind direction and outer conditions which
could inere..se the concern of neighbors.

Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon fafl=cs result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. TYDes
of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach or the
darn. risstmling proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for
ensuring stcvctzae safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include:
Modification of the lagoon structtrm—.an example is the plamment of apipe
in the dam without pro= design and construction. (Consult. an e-pert in
lagoon design more placing any pipes in dams.)
Lagoon liquid IeveLs—high levels.are a safety risk.
Failure to inspect and maintain the dam.
Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon.
Liner integrity --protect from inlerpipe scouring, damage during sludge
removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater
table.
NOTE: Magoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water -will soon cause
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly. cause a large discharge
or wastewater and possible dam fkilure.

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing or running off site. You should not wait until wastes reach surace waters:
or leave you property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every
effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible
location for all' employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should
take.
1'. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this- may ore may not be
possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed belwo.
A. , Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are:
a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam.
b. Pump wastes to Melds at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no sur,"ace water is entering lagoon.
S. Runa11 from waste application field -actions include: .
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
c. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that cause the runoff.
e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred.
C. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers -action include: .
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Close valves to eliminate further discharge.
d. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
D. Leakage from flush systems, houses, solid separators -action include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Step irrigation pump.
c. Make sure siphon occurs.
d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid separators.
E. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed
to flowing leaks -possible action:
a. Dig a small sump or ditch from the embankment -to catch all
seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back to lagoon. .
b. if holes are caused by burrowing animals,.trap or remove animals and fill
holes and compact with a clay type soil.
c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and lagoon -
bottom as soon as possible.
T

2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a. Did the waste. reach any surface waters?
b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration?
c. Any damage notes, -such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage?
d. Did the spill leave the property?
e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters?
f. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters?
g. Are potable water wells in danger (either on or off the property)?
h. How much reached surface waters?
3. Contact appropriate agencies.
a. During normal business hours call your DWQ regional office; Phone - -. After
hours, emergency number: 919-733-3942. Your phone call should include: your
name, fatuity number, telephone number, the details of the incident from item 2
above, the exact location of the facility, the location or direction of movement of
the spill, weather and wind conditions. The corrective measures that•have been
under taken, and the seriousness of the sitution.

Transmittal Letter
Dear Mr. Smith:
May 18, 2009
This is a transmittal letter for several documents. I worked up the figures from your sludge survey. Please put this
with your other farm records. If the numbers are right, this shows that you would have had to clean out sludge in the
near future even if you had continued in business. The survey gives a very crude estimate of about 1 million gallons
of sludge in your lagoon. This was derived only from eight sample points so could be high or low. Also, when
sludge is removed, typically some is left in the bottom to avoid damaging the liner and/or natural seal in the bottom.
On Friday, I talked to Larry Simpson, Cost Share Technician for the Cumberland County Soil and Water
Conservation District, after leaving your farm. He hopes to start on your lagoon sometime this summer. However,
since then, our man in Raleigh said that if your sludge is not cleaned out before Sept 30, you will need to have your
permit renewed, and that has to be done well ahead of time. To stay on the safe side, it would be better for you to
apply for the new permit right now and you can always cancel it when you get done. You can actually get a permit .
for zero hogs.
Attached are four copies of the form to be filled out by nearby landowners in locations you hope to have sludge
spread. You can make copies if you need more. All of these fields will need recent soil analyses. If you are
spreading on your own fields these will also need to be sampled, if they have not been already. While I know you
are out of the hog business, spreading sludge on your spray fields will likely prevent them from ever being used
again as waste spray Fields.
Another point I did not clarify while I was on site is that any depopulated farm cannot have its permit renewed
after four years, unless it meets the latest specifications. This makes your farm less valuable or likely impossible to
operate as a hog farm in the future and is separate from other issues of current state permit and integrator contract
renewal. This is fine if that is what you want to do; I just want you to be sure you fully understand the situation.
Other paperwork I found on our website is a Plan of Action for Sludge Removal and a Lagoon Closure Form. I'm
sure Larry Simpson will help with some of the paperwork, and they probably have more of their own. As you
mentioned, the District has not yet officially closed any lagoons in Cumberland County and Larry is waiting for some
guidance from his engineers. The complete POA needs to be sent to our office in Raleigh in the near future. DWQ
in Fayetteville will need to be notified just before start of lagoon cleanout.
Please call if you need any additional help or questions answered.
Sincerely,
knZkSr-hne>ier
Environmental Specialist.

Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. AWS260023
K&M Farms
Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Cumberland County
On June 11, 2004, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued a revised State General
Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill
733 (Session Law 2003-28).
In accordance with your application received on February 24, 2003 and in accordance with the directive
of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Strauce
Smith, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Permit AWG 100000. The issuance of this COC
supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS260023 which expires October 1, 2004.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the K&M Farms, located in Cumberland County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than an annual average of 350 Farrow to Feeder swine and the application to land as specified in
the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or
Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary,
they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a
rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009. Pursuant to this COC,
you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this
facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and
this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Since this is a revised State
General Permit, it contains new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the
previous State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and
revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay careful attention to the record keening
and monitorinaconditions in this permit.

If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have.a.new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.
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.
Per 15A NCAC 2H .0225(c) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100 foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any wetted area of a
spray field.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief.
If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after the expiration date of the
General Permit, an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration.
This COC is not automatically transferable. A name/ownership change application must be submitted to
the Division prior to a name change or change in ownership.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to
apply for an individual permit by contacting the staff member listed below for information on this

Dear Strauce Smith:
On April 28, 2003, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the
Division of Water Quality (Division) to extend the expiration date of the Swine Waste Operation General
Permit AWG100000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the
expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with
all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit.
In accordance with your application received on February 24, 2003 and in accordance with the directive
of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Strauce
Smith, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Permit AWGI00000. The issuance of this COC
supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS260023 which expired on April 30, 2003.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the K&M Farms, located in Cumberland County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than an annual average of 350 Farrow to Feeder swine and the application to land as specified in
the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or
Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary,
they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a
rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 1, 2004. Pursuant to this COC, you
are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COG An adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this
facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and
this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of'animals.
If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property. AMA

capacity for tlt s facility reflect that no boats are currently being used on this facility. It is
my undcrstanding that the design criteria used as the basis of the certification and original
permitting of this facility accounted for 1 boar space per 15 sows in the ste tdy state live
woight calculations. I would ask that the new permit reflect an animal population of 373
saws farrow - feeder. A change in the CAWMP should not be required because the type
of fac,ifity and number of animals present on the farm will be the same.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN

Type of Operation- Swine, Farrow to Feeder
Number of Animal!;: 350 Head
(Design Capacity)
The waste utiiixatic:in plan is based on the soil types, crops to be grown, and method of
application for your particular operation. The waste from your animal facility must be land
applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater, The plant
nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer
required for the crc:ips in the fields where the waste is to be applied. 'This waste utilization
plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each
application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients. can
be balanced for re<:ilistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to
maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an
environmentally sale manner. Always apply waste based'on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can
utilize. Soil types :ire important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange c�:ipacities and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall
not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5. tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste
on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these
conditions may re..,ult in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM
regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the
potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare
ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the,waste or disking will conserve
nutrients and reduce odor problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of faci! ty. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis
report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on the
,proper sampling techniqu6,�, preparation and transfer of waste samples to the lab for
analysis.
S. Kinsey Smith Page 1

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A
NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.
Amount of Waste Produced Per Year (gallons, 0, tons, etc.)
350 animals X 349.7 ft3 (amt.) waste/animal/year = 122,409 ft3 (amt.) waste/year
Amount of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) Produced Per Year
350 animals X 6.50 lbs. PAN/animal/year = 2.275 lbs. PAN/year (PAN from
N.C. Technical Guide Std. 633)
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have the
appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown
and surface application.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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 which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal
discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the
Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer
either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the
waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he
shall provide MRCS with a copy of the written agreement (sample enclosed) with a
landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing himlher the use of the land
for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the
responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure ann update of the Waste Utilization
Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals,
method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic
crop yields based on the soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic
conditions and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate
of application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System
(RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss
shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be
used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers"
required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 -'Filter Strips and Standard 390 (interim)
- Riparian Forest Buffers.]
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application.
Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When 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" in the Technical Reference - Environment file 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 conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application.
S. Kinsey Smith Page 5

i
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when
the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no
more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered.
10. Waste nutrients 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
on bare soil.
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance
may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter
strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not 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 discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a
discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted
wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical
specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge
directly into water courses, and only then at agronomic rates provided the application
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.
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must contain a maximum
operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in
addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be
provided for these areas and 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.
S. Kinsey Smith

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion,
leakage or discharge.
19. 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.
20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a
i regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance
checklist should be kept on site.

Appendix 3. Worksheet for sludge volume and treatment volume Revised August 2008
The average thickness of the sludge layer and the thickness of the existing liquid (sludge -free) treatment
zone (are determined from information on the Lagoon Sludge Survey Form (Items 0 and P, respectively).
In this example, the average sludge layer thickness is 2.5 feet and the existing liquid treatment zone is 3.5
feet. If the lagoon has a designed sludge storage volume, see notes at end of the worksheet. The
dimensions of the lagoon as measured and the side slope are needed for calculations of sludge volume
and of total treatment volume, if the lagoon is a standard geometric shape, the sludge volume and
treatment volume in the lagoon can be estimated by using standard equations. For approximate volumes
of rectangular lagoons with constant side slope, calculate length and width at the midpoint of the layer,
and multiply by layer thickness to calculate layer volume, as shown in the example. For irregular shapes,
convert the total surface area to a square or rectangular shape. For exact volumes for lagoons with
constant side slope, the "Prismoidal Equations" may be used.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 26-23
Cumberland County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRRI, IRR2, DRYI, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR], SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the
DWQ staff at [phone] ext. 571.
Sincerely
Kerr T. Stevens, Director
Division of Water Quality
