Subject: Requirement for Phosphorous Loss
Assessment
P.M. Farm
Permit No. NCA282143
Sampson County
This letter is being sent to remind you that your current Animal Waste Management System
NPDES General Permit issued by the Division of Water Resources (Division) requires periodic
evaluation of potential phosphorous loss. Condition N.S. in the above referenced permit states:
"The Permittee shall perform a phosphorus -loss evaluation prior to application for
renewal of this Permit in accordance with state and federal requirements. This evaluation
must be documented on forms supplied by or approved by the Division and must be
submitted to the Division. Upon completion of the phosphorous -loss evaluation, the
CAWMP shall be updated to include the current risk assessment rating, and submitted to
the Division upon application for renewal of this Permit."
In North Carolina, the Phosphorus Loss Assessment Tool (PLAT) is utilized to assess phosphorus
loss risk on a field specific basis. PLAT was developed by NC State University and the Natural
Resources Conservation Service (MRCS) and addresses four potential loss pathways: leaching,
erosion, runoff, and direct movement of waste over the surface. Each field must be individually
evaluated and rated as either low, medium, high, or very high according to its phosphorus loss
potential. In no case shall land application rates for any field exceed the established crop removal
rate for phosphorus for fields with a "high" phosphorus -loss assessment rating. There shall be no
waste application on fields with a "very high" phosphorus -loss assessment rating.
The ratings for each application field for your facility must be reported to the Division using the
attached certification form along with the updated Certified Animal Waste Management Plan as a
part of your permit renewal application. The PLAT field specific forms must be included with
the certification form and copies shall be maintained with other farm records as required by your
permit.

Permit Number AWGI00000
NORTH CAROLINA
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT COMMISSION
DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES
SWINE WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM GENERAL PERMIT
This General Permit is issued pursuant to North Carolina General Statutes 143-215 et seq., may apply to any
swine facility in the State of North Carolina, and shall be effective from October 1, 2009 until September 30,
2014.
All activities authorized herein shall be consistent with the terms and conditions of this General Permit.
Holders of Certificates of Coverage (COC) under this General Permit shall comply with the following specified
conditions and limitations.
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
Any discharge of waste that reaches surface waters or wetlands is prohibited except as otherwise
provided in this General Permit and associated statutory and regulatory provisions. Waste shall
not reach surface waters or wetlands by runoff, drift, manmade conveyance, direct application,
direct discharge or through ditches, terraces, or grassed waterways not otherwise classified as
state waters.
The waste collection, treatment, storage and application system operated under this General
Permit shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent the
discharge of pollutants to surface waters or wetlands. Application of waste to terraces and
grassed waterways is acceptable as long as it is applied in accordance with Natural Resources
Conservation Service (MRCS) Standards and does not result in a discharge of waste to surface
waters or wetlands.
Facilities must be designed, constructed, operated, and maintained to contain all waste plus the
runoff from a 25-year, 24-hour rainfall event for the location of the facility. A facility that has a
discharge of waste that results because of a storm event more severe than the 25-year, 24-hour
storm will not be considered to be in violation of this General Permit if the facility is otherwise
in compliance with its Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) and this General
Permit.
Any discharge or application of waste to a ditch that drains to surface waters or wetlands is
prohibited except as follows: (a) discharges from the ditches are controlled by best management
practices (BMPs) designed in accordance with NRCS standards; (b) the BMPs have been
submitted to and approved by the Division of Water Quality (Division); (c) the BMPs were
implemented as designed to prevent a discharge to surface waters or wetlands; (d) the waste was
removed immediately from the ditch upon discovery; and (e) the event was documented and
reported in accordance with Part IE.13. of this General Permit. Nothing in this exception shall
excuse a discharge to surface waters or wetlands except as may result because of rainfall from a
storm event more severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm.
2. This Permit does not allow the Permittee to cause a violation of any of the water quality
standards established pursuant to Title 15A, Subchapter 2B of the North Carolina Administrative
Code and Title 15A, Subchapter 2L of the North Carolina Administrative Code.

facility.
The Permittee must assess and record, on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of the
implementation of the CAWMP. The Permittee must make "major changes," "revisions," or
"amendments" to the CAWMP, as defined in Section VII, "Definitions," of this Permit, in order
to address any changes needed to maintain compliance with the facility's COC and this General
Permit. "Major changes," "revisions," and "amendments" to the CAWMP must be documented,
dated, and included as part of the CAWMP. "Major changes " and "revisions" to the CAWMP
shall be submitted to the appropriate Division Regional Office within thirty (30) calendar days of
the "major change" or "revision." "Amendments" are not required to be submitted to the
Division Regional Office unless specifically requested by the Division. If field, riser or pull
numbers are changed, an explanation shall also be submitted and include a description of how the
new numbers relate to the old numbers.
Any violation of the COC or the CAWMP shall be considered a violation of this General Permit
and subject to enforcement actions. A violation of this General Permit may result in the Permittee
having to take immediate or long-term corrective action(s) as required by the Division. These
actions may include but are not limited to: modifying the CAWMP; ceasing land application of
waste; removing animals from the facility; or the COC being reopened and modified, revoked
and reissued, and/or terminated.
4. Any proposed increase or modification to the annual average design capacity from that
authorized by the COC will require a modification to the CAWMP and the COC prior to
modification of the facility. All new and expanding operations must demonstrate that waste
management system will satisfy the requirements of G.S. §143-215.10.1. -No collection,
treatment or storage facilities may be constructed in a 100-year flood plain.
Facilities located in watersheds sensitive to nutrient enrichment may be notified by the Division
to conduct an evaluation of the facility and its CAWMP to determine the facility's ability to
comply with the NRCS nutrient management standard as it relates to phosphorous. This
evaluation will not be required until such time as the permittee is notified by the Division. The
evaluation must -be documented on forms supplied by or approved by the Division and must be
submitted to the Division. This evaluation must be completed by existing facilities within twelve
(12) months of receiving notification from the Division.
For facilities located in watersheds sensitive to nutrient enrichment, all fields with a "HIGH"
phosphorous -loss assessment rating shall have land application rates that do not exceed the
established crop removal rate for phosphorous. There shall be no waste application on fields
with a "VERY HIGH" phosphorous -loss assessment rating.
6. If prior approval is received from the Director of the Division of Water Quality (Director),
facilities that have been issued a COC to operate under this General Permit may add treatment
units for the purpose of removing pollutants before the waste is discharged into the
lagoons/storage ponds. Prior to any approval, the Permittee must demonstrate to the satisfaction
of the Director that the new treatment unit will not interfere with the operation of the existing
treatment system and that a process is in place to properly manage and track the pollutants
removed.
February 20, 2009

Permit Number AWG100000
If prior approval is received from the Director, facilities that have been issued a COC to operate
under this General Permit may add innovative treatment processes to the systems on a pilot basis
in order to determine if the innovative treatment process will improve how the waste is treated
and/or managed. Prior to any approval, the Permittee must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the
Director that the innovative treatment process will not interfere with the operation of the existing
treatment system and that a process is in place to properly manage and track the pollutants
removed.
Animal waste shall not be applied within 100 feet of any well with the exception of monitoring
wells. The allowable distance to monitoring wells shall be established on a case -by -case basis by
the Division.
Existing swine dry lots may remain in wetlands as long as the wetlands uses are not removed or
degraded as a result of the swine. The swine however may not be confined within 100 feet of an
adjacent surface water or a seasonally -flooded area. The swine also must not cause a loss of
more than 10% of the existing tree canopy. Where trees do not exist, the area must be managed
to include crop rotation.
H. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
I. The collection, treatment, and storage facilities, and the land application equipment and fields
shall be properly operated and maintained at all times.
2. A vegetative cover shall be maintained as specified in the facility's CAWMP on all land

NRCS NC Standard No. 359 must be satisfied prior to lowering lagoon levels below designed
stop pump levels.
Ell. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
An inspection of the waste collection, treatment, and storage structures, and runoff control
measures shall be conducted and documented at a frequency to insure proper operation but at
least monthly and after all storm events of greater than one (1) inch in 24 hours. For example,
lagoons/storage ponds, and other structures should be inspected for evidence of erosion, leakage,
damage by animals or discharge. Inspection shall also include visual observation of subsurface
drain outlets, ditches, and drainage ways for any discharge of waste.
Monitoring and Recording Freeboard Levels
a. Highly visible waste -level gauges shall be maintained to mark the level of waste in each
lagoon/storage pond that does not gravity feed through a free flowing transfer pipe into a
subsequent structure. The gauge shall have readily visible permanent markings.
The waste level in each lagoon with a waste level gauge shall be monitored and recorded
weekly on forms supplied by or approved by the Division,
The Director may require more frequent monitoring and recording of waste levels based on
the facility's compliance history for freeboard violations.

following the issuance of this General Permit, or as determined necessary by the Director,
shall monitor and record waste levels as follows:
February 20, 2009

Permit Number AWG100000
In addition to the facility's existing lagoon waste -level gauges, automated lagoon/storage
pond waste -level monitors and recorders (monitored and recorded at least hourly) must be
installed on all treatment and storage structures covered by a COC issued under this
General Permit to measure and record freeboard. This equipment must be properly
maintained and calibrated in a manner consistent with manufacturer's operation and
maintenance recommendations. This automated equipment must be in place no later than
ninety (90) days following notification from the Director. The Director may determine
that installation of automated waste level monitors is not required if the Permittee can
demonstrate that preventative measures were taken to avoid the violations and that the
violations resulted from conditions beyond the Permittee's control.
If an automated level monitor(s) becomes inoperable, the Permittee shall:
i. report the problem by telephone to the appropriate Division Regional Office as soon
as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of the
problem; and,
ii. make any needed repairs to the equipment as quickly as possible, and take and record
daily waste levels at the same time every day until such time as the automated
equipment is placed back into operation.
C. The Director may require new or modified waste -level gauges at any facility if it is
determined that the existing gauges are not adequate to accurately indicate actual lagoon
levels, or the various lagoon levels required to be maintained by this General Permit or the
facility's CAWMP.
Monitoring and Recording Precipitation Events
a. Precipitation events at facilities issued a COC to operate under this General Permit shall be

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 AWG100000
• 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
(useable 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

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

Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority. It is especially
important to r,,anage levels so :h;• •ors do not h ro d extended o _, r have ;. b,ems urir:g en�e rain}- and

receiving crop is dormanz.(suf-h as Winte=iime for bermudagrass) or when is ere are
exter',Ged r air:'✓ spells such as the thunderstorm,, season ir, the surnmer4drne. This means
that at the first si-,^s or plant grceth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to
a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to
recelve lagoon hquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet
perioLs. In the late summeriearly Pali the lagoon should be pumped down to the low
marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every• efrort should be made to
maintain the lagoon close to the minirinum liquid level as lor.g as :he weather and waste
utllization plan vrlll allow it.

i ne routine maintenance or a 12-corl involves the following:
Maintenance o a vegetative cover for the damn.
Fescue or cornmon bermudaerass are the most common vegetative
covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, it needed, to
maintain a vigorous sand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be
based on a soils tes`, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain
a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding are -as
should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-110-10, or
equivalent.
BrusF, and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This role-, be
done by mowing, spraying, gra{Ire, chopping, or a co-'bination of
these oractices. This should be done at least once a year and
pcssibly twice in years +L1at weather cord; Eons are favorable for
heavy vegetative ;rowtn.

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) Permit Requirement
The Division of Water Quality (Division) has been required by the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) to develop a NPDES permit program for animal waste management
systems. The Division has developed a General NPDES Permit similar to the state Non -
Discharge General Permit that this facility is currently permitted under. Pursuant to the
requirements of North Carolina General Statutes § 14-3-2li.1. 40 Code of Federal Regulations
§122.23, and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007, coverage under an NPDES Permit is
required of all facilities that either discharge or propose to discharge waste into to waters of the
State. 4
According to our records your facility meets the requirements for NPDES permit coverage due to
the discharge to waters of the State that occurred at your facility. As a result you are required to
apply for the NPDES Permit.
Within 90 days of receipt of this letter, complete and return the attached form, "NPDES
General Permit— Existing Animal Waste Operations." Please carefully follow the
instructions on the form. if you wish to apply for an Individual NPDES Permit instead of a
General Permit, please contact us and we will forward you that application. Two copies of your
complete Certified Animal Waste Management Plan are required with the permit
application. Please refer to the checklist on page two of the application to be sure that all
necessary documents are submitted with the application. A copy of the NPDES General Permit
may be downloaded at our website:

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to preven po u ion
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 be balanced for realistic 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 safe
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 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 -at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be
applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply 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. 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 facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from
your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

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 waste, he/she shall provide a copy 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 facility to
secure an 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 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 shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre -per year. Waste
may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per
year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG
Standard 393 - Filter Strip).
5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
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" for guidance.)
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 or flies.
6 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.

Dear Dixie Chops, Inc.:
In accordance with your application received on December 19, 2006, and your notice of change of
ownership received on March 12, 2007, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage
(COC) issued to Dixie Chops, Inc., authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste management
system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
and land application of animal waste as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management
Plan (CAWMP) for the P.M. Farm, located in Sampson County, with an animal capacity of no greater
than the following swine annual averages:
Wean to Finish: 0 Feeder to Finish: 2950 Boar/Stud: 0
Wean to Feeder: 0 Farrow to Wean: 0 Gilts: 0
Farrow to Finish: 0 Farrow to Feeder: 0
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 and replaces the NPDES
COC issued to this facility with an expiration date of July 1, 2007. You are required to continue
conducting annual surveys of sludge accumulation in all lagoons at your facility; the one-year extension
in Condition III.19 does not apply.
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. Enclosed for your convenience is
a package containing the new and revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please uav
careful attention to the record keeping and monitoring conditions in this permit.

AQUIFER PROTECTION SECTION

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 be balanced for realistic 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 safe
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 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 at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be
applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply 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. 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 facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from
your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Your facility is designed for 60 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be
removed on the average of once every 2 MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of waste
being stored in your structure exceed Elevation `see lagoon design.
Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil
and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the

Narrative of operation: This waste utilization plan is written for bermuda which is to be razed.
If grower will make one hay cutting per year he may increase his PAN rate from 170 lbs. To 188
lbs. He may do this on any of his fields. He is also going to be overseeding in the winter months. _
The following is the justification for PAN reduction:
The PAN produced was determined using the NC Cooperative Extension standards for determining

:' WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN - r
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1 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.
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 waste, he/she shall provide a copy 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 facility to
secure an 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 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 shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste
may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per
year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG
Standard 393 - Filter Strip).
5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
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" 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 or flies.
8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
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 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 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 from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal
waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be
applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
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
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 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.

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 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
element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites
shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.

APPLICATION METHOD: Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water 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 be
balanced for realistic 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 safe manner:
1. 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.
2. Soil types are important as they have dif-ferent infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and
available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than
5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land
eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than
10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter
strips are established.
5. Do not apply 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 DWQ regulations.
Page: 1

V
ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
5. wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems.
6. To makimize the value of the nutrients for crop production
and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should
be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30
days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If
you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the
same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant
analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied.
Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible
so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific
crop production.
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, ft3, tons, etc.)
2950 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 5605 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
2950 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 6785 lbs. PAN/year
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan
time and have 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, soil type and surface application.

Indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. interplanted) or
winter annuals follow summer annuals.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded
in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing,
hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed
when they reach a height of six to nine inches_ Cattle
should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four
inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed
for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small
grain to reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too
high and this will definitely interfere with stand of
bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced
yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than
cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as
is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small
grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or
silage two to three times during the season, depending on
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late
September or early October. Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a
height of about cwo inches before drilling for best results.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than
the acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land
application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient
rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application
of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 1091.5 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove -the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 5457.5
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid
bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 18.1916666667 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 43.66 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 2511 depending on your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application
methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This
rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil
texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount
should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the
time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed
the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure
that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
Page: 6

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. 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.
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 waste, he/she shall
provide a copy 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
facility to secure an 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 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 shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons
per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding
at 5 or more tons, but less than ld tons per acre per year
providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves
the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip)
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after
waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is
danger of drift from the irrigation field.
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" 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 or flies.
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 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.
Page: 9

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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 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 from any perennial stream or river (other
than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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 preplant 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
element. 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 for
optimum -crop production and maintained. Soil and waste
analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry
waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be

Sampson County
In accordance with State Regulations (15A NCAC 2H .0217(a)(1)(E)) adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission on February 1, 1993, the owner of the subject facility was required to submit a
Certification Form for the facility's animal waste management system by December 31, 1997.
This letter is to advise you that this office has no record of having received the required Certification for
the subject facility. Please provide this office with an explanation as to why this Certification was not
submitted as required. This explanation must be received within 30 days following the receipt of this letter.
Any existing facility owner which did not submit the required certification by the deadline is no longer
deemed permitted to operate their animal waste management system. Therefore, if the certification was not
submitted as required and the facility is still in operation, this facility is being operated without a valid
permit. N.C.G.S. 143-215.6(b) allows the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources to take appropriate enforcement actions for this violation for as long as the violation continues.
As per Senate Bill 1217, which was ratified on June 21, 1996, the Environmental Management
Commission (EMC) may enter into a special agreement with facilities that did not meet the December 31,
1997 deadline. These special agreements can only be issued to facility owners which signed up for assistance
with their local Soil and Water Conservation District Office by September 1, 1996 and which can
demonstrate that they made a good faith effort to meet the December 31, 1997 deadline. The special
agreement, if issued, would contain a specific schedule for the facility to follow to develop and/or implement
an approved animal waste management plan. Attached is an application for a special agreement between the
EMC and the subject facility. If you can demonstrate that this facility can meet the conditions for a special
agreement, you may send this request along with your explanation as to why the plan has not been developed
and implemented. This request would also be due within 30 days from receipt of this letter.
