Dear Mr. Casey:
The Division's records show that a completed PLAT Form has NOT been submitted for this facility. if
our records are in error please resubmit the completed PLAT Form for this farm.
There is a condition in your Animal Waste Management General NPDES Permit addressing the
completion of the Phosphorous Loss Assessment Tool for your animal feeding operation upon
notification by the Division of Water Quality (Division).
Your NPDES Permit Number NCA282274 Condition I.6 states:
"If prior to the expiration date of this permit either the state or federal government
establishes Phosphorus loss standards that are applicable to land application activities at a
facility operating under this permit, the Permittee must conduct an evaluation of the facility
and its CAWMP under the requirements of the Phosphorus loss standards to determine the
facility's ability to comply with the standards. This evaluation must be documented on
forms supplied or approved by the Division and must be submitted to the Division. This
evaluation must be completed by existing facilities within six (6) months of receiving
notification from the Division.
The method of evaluation is the Phosphorous Loss Assessment Tool (PLAT) developed by NC State
University and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. PLAT 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. The ratings for your farm must be reported to DWQ using the attached certification form.
The PLAT forms must be kept as records on your farm for future reference.
The Division's records show that you received the notification to conduct PLAT on April 11, 2005. To
avoid possible enforcement action for a violation of your permit, The Division of Water Quality requests
that the following items be addressed:

Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Sampson County
Dear J. Casey:
On March 14, 2003, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued an NPDES General
Permit for swine_facilities..The_General Permit was issued to enable swine facilities in North Carolina to
obtain coverage tinder a single permit that addresses both State and Federal requirements.
In accordance with your application received on February 20, 2003, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to J. Casey, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste
collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with NPDES General Permit
NCA200000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your COC Number AWS820274 to
operate under State Non -Discharge Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Joseph Casey Farm, located in Sampson County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than an annual average of 2560 Feeder to Finish 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 July 1, 2007. 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 General Permit. Since this is a new joint State and
Federal general permit it contains marry new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained
in the current 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 kee in
and monitorint7 conditions in this nermit. The Devices to Automaticallv Ston - Irrigation Events Form
must be returned to the Division of Water Quality no later than 120 days fallowing receipt of the
Certificate of Coverage. The Animal Facili Annual Certification Form must be completed and returned
to the Division of Water Quality by no later than March 1st of each year.

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 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, the Clean Water Act and 40 CFR 122.41 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 namelownership 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 NPDES Permit by contacting the staff member listed below for information on
this process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding.

The waste from your animal facility ::gust 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 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 ;paste 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 cah
utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infilitration
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 pre-
cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per
acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is
raising, 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 the nutrients
or crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the
waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to laze ground
not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
-his plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this
is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you
choose to inject the waste In the future, you Teed to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating waste are
not the same. r
The estima ed acres needed to apply t__,_ animal waste is based on
-vpical nutrient Content for -this t_ -ce of facility. Acreage requi re-
men4s should be based ,cn the waste analysis report from your waste
management facility. Attached you will find intormaticn an proper
' �!g technique,, ue,, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to

NOTE: 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 947.2 pounds of plant
available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the sludge that will need to be
removed ona periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting
the sludge. ?lease be aware that additional acres of lard, as well
special equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
waste• water.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate cf
tts soil at tt1e time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs.
This rate is limited by initial soli moisture content, _soil structure,
soil texture, L,raLer 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.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage
and the temporary storage must'`be removed on the average of once every
6 months! In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in
your structure be within 2 feet of the top of the dike.

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 I and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste: analysis report

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. Illegal discharges are subject
to 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 to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own
adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide MRCS
with a copy of a written agreement 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 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,
avai±able moisture, historical data, climate 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 Suffers).
S. 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 4zassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the
application does not occur during a season prone zo
flcodincr. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in
the NRCS Technical Reference - Environment file 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 conditions conducive to odor or flies
and to provide uniformity of application.
3. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
Taini ll events, or when the surface _Js frozen.
Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in
such a manner teat no more tear: 20 to 25 percent of the leaf
area is covered.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 7
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 sails
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 a
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 strias
are present- (See Standard 393 - Filter S-trips)_ ,
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 mannex not to reach other
property and public right -of ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters,
drair_ageways, 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 should not be
applied on grassed waterways that discharge into water
courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the
application causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdowh facilities,
showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into
the animal waste management system.
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures
must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate
storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to
one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
13. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be
established on all disturbed areas - (lagoon embankments,
berms, pipe runs, etc_). If needed,,special vegetaticn
shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as
necessary, no protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as
trees, scrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to
areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be
kept mowed and accessible. 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 imp3e-
mentl a a "closure plan" which will eliminate tvie possibility
of an 11Ygal discharge, pollution and erosion:.
20. Waste handling SLruct;res, pining, pumps, reels, etc., should
be inscected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks,
and spills. a regular maintenance checklist should be kept

The Waste Utilization table shown below sulUrnarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of cropland
needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper
timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or other
by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to
supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included.
A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure
generated by the operation. Animal operations that generate liquid waste and utilize waste storage facilities (lagoons or holding ponds) may apply more or less waste
in any given year than is annually generated by the facility. In order to determine whether the plan adequately utilizes the waste produced by the facility, the storage
capacity table included in this plan should be reviewed to ensure that the design capacity of the storage facility is not exceeded during the planning period.
Depending on the requirements of the crop and the nutrient content of the waste, some nutrients will likely be over or under applied ifaninlal waste is being utilized.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are required if animal waste is being applied. Soil tests should be used to balance the
nutrient application amounts with the realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Nutrient management plans may require that the application of animal waste be limited
so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field.

The Irrigation Application Factors for each field in this plan are shown in the following table. Infiltration
rate varies with soils. If applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system, you must apply at a rate that
will not result in runoff. This table provides the maximum application rate per hour that may be applied to
each field selected to receive wastewater. It also lists the maximum application amount that each field may
receive in any one application event.

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for sludge
utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for
each source, the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates shown in the
second column.
Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At
clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority
nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient
levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied.
Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be
used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with
high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water
moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a
concern.

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage capacity
available at the end of each month of the plan. Available storage capacity is calculated as the design storage
capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start date is a value
entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which
storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero.
Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design
storage capacity of the facility. If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of
accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure. This indicates that the planned
application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage
capacity.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
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 that reaches surface
water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design fold that the producer either
owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly
apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly
dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a
landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use
of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the
waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management
Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of
animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs
for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical
data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are
regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre
per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips
are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office
Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste
application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from
the land application field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will
be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is
applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be
broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to
flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance).
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate
such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method
which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------*---------
686831 Database Version 1.05 Date Printed: 05-17-2001 Specification Page 1

should occur in order to control odor and flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events,
or when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner
that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit
growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be
considered.
10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring
planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient
loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable
winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be
applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages
breaking dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with
the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is
applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least
50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste,
other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995,
shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other
than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public
right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or
wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied
to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been approved as a
land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be
applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses,
and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied ar agronomic rates
in a manner that causes not runoff or drift from site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets,
sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management
------------------------------------------------------------------------.--------------
686831 Database Version 1.05 Date Printed: 05-17-2001 Specification Page 2

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 of animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom
elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste
treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level
between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum
storage volume for waste storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at
least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen
shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require
waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower
application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper Ievels in the
soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these
metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for
optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall
be maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records
----------------------------------------------------------------------P----------------

DeaiSir or Madam:
I am wnting you per instructions received in a letter from Mr. Alan Kiimeck dated May 27, 1999
concerning temporary odor rules for swine farms. in his letter Mr. Khmeck stated that if l believed
tharit is;#oblematic for you to comply with any of these required management practices please send
writtea documentation by August 1,1949. We believe that it is problematic for our farms to comply
..,
with,equirement No. 7. 1n addition we also question the effectiveness of requirement No. 1 and
believe that both of these rules will have a negligible or adverse effect on odor and could produce
negative impacts on water quality_
Requirement No. 7 states that flush tanks should be covered or the fill pipes should be extended below
the surface of the wastewater of the tank From personal observation, 1 feel that these tanks and the
way that they fill are not a significant source of odor on a swine farm. By covering or extending the fill
pipes the farm operator will not be able to observe the rate at which the recycle cater fills the tank.
This is critical because the tanks are often set up to dump periodically with a timer. If the tanks dump
before they are filled the result is insufficient. water to completely move the manure out of the pit thus
creating more odois from the building. Conversely, if the tank fills before it is time to dump, you risk a
spill via a blocked overflow pipe.

June10, 1999
Page 2
Requirement No. 1 states that the discharge point of the pipe from the buildings small enter below the
surface of animal wastewater lagoons. This requirement will make it impossible for the operator to
observe what is being discharged from the buildings. A pipe that becomes clogged may go undetected
leading to a back up of recycle water in the pit with the potential to spill out of the building. The
operator also will not be able to detect any unusual discharge such as fresh water from a leak or
malfunction. The added turn in the pipe needed to direct the flow under the lagoon surface could also
increase the chance of a blockage.
Because of these concerns we have not covered or extended the fill pipes on the dump tanks at any of
the farms that we own or manage. We have extended our discharge lines under the surface of the
lagoons. We have advised our growers to extend their discharge lines but have given them their choice
on how to handle the flush tanks. Most have opted to leave them as is. I have included a list of farms
associated with TDM in your region. This includes farms, which we own, manage, or grow hogs on
Contract for us.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and if you have any questions please feel free to contact me.

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 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 infilitration
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 pre-
cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 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 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 the nutrients
for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the
waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to ba_e around
not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this
is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you
choose to fnlect the waste in the future, you need to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating g waste are
noc the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
oypfcal nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage require-
ments should be based _on the wash analysis report from your waste
management facility. Attached you will find informaticn on proper
sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samnies to
the lab for analysis.
Thist utilization ri ed � � requirements

NOTE: 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 947.2 pounds of plant
available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the sludge that will need to be
removed cn- a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting
the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well
special equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
waste water.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The ___ ration application rate should not exceed the intake rate of
the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or pouding occurs.
This _a e is limited by initial sot! moisture content, Soil structure,
soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application_
a:roun; should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the
soil a` the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen
applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the. crop.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage
and mhe temporary storage mustibe removed on the average of once every
6 mcn- _s' In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in
your structure be within 2 feet of the top of the dike.

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
amounts of;Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

Plans and 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. Illegal discharges are subject
to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division
of Environmental Management for every day the discharge cgntinues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that
the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate
land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own
adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide MRCS
with a copy of a written agreement 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 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, climate conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that
restrict the rate of application for other nutrients.
�. A-nJmal 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 by 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 croos
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 NRCS Techni cal Reference - Environment file for 9-aidance .
7. Lirnsid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil
infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or
to surfacewaters and in a -method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No vonding should occur
in order to control conditions conduci-
ve to odor or flies
and to provide uniformity of application.
S. Animal waste shall not he applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
9. � imal waste shall be applied on actively gro4Jing crops in
such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf
area is covered.

. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 7
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 a
crop on bare soil.
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to
surface water. This distance may he 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 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 should not be
applied on grassed waterways that discharge into water
courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the
application causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdowh facilities,
showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into
the animal waste management system.
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures
must maintain a maximum operating 'level to provide adequate
storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to
one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
13. 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. 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 imple-
mentine 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 regular basis no prevent breakdowns, leaks,
and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept
on site.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment with minimum odor control. The
tima required for the planned -fluid leve+l;to be reached may vary due to soil
.conditions, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the
system.
Latid application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of dis-
posal. Methods of application include honey wagons (sprayer or injection) and
irrigation (center pivot, guns$ or travelers). Care needs to be taken when
applying waste to prevent damage to crops. or runoff from the field.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level is 1 foot - below the
outlet pipes.
2. Stop pump -out before fluid depth is less than 3 feet deep (this
prevents the loss of. favorable bacteria). _
3. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be precharged
to � its capacity to prevent excessive odors during startup. Pre -
charging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering
the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be covered with
effluent at all times.-
4. Keep vegetation on `tlie .`embanloaent and areas adjacent to the lagoon
.mowed.
5. Repair any eroded areas and establish in vegetation.
6. Recommend that a suitable fence be constructed around the lagoon
for safety purposes.
7. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants
into waters of the United States. The Department of Natural
Resources and Community Development (DNRCD) - Wastewater Management
Section has the responsibility for enforcing this law:
8. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to adequate outlets.
NOTE: An analysis of the waste water can be obtained at commercial
laboratories or at a fee of $3 per sample at:

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 surface 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 fields at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B. Runoff 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.

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. Stop 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 wails and lagoon
bottom as soon as possible.

System Calibration
Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation
conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates
change over time as equipment 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 rate while decreasing the wetted diameter.
You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the
design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently 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 re you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to
ensure proper app icatron\ rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every
three years is recommenged. 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 stationary 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.

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 relduce the amount of
commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where 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 infilitration
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 pre-
cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 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 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 the 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.
This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this
is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you
choose to inject the waste in the future, you reed to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating waste are
not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this t.,e of facility. Acreage require -
meets should be based .on the waste analysis report from your waste
management facility. Attached you ;,Jill find information on proper
sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to
::.he lab for analysis.
.-This ,,Jast.e, utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission.

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.
NOTE: 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 947.2 pounds of plant
available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the sludge that will need to be
removed on -a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting
the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well
special equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
waste water.
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 .ava.ilabl.e...nitrogen
" applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
Your facility is designed for f80 days of temporary storage
_ and the temporary storage must1be removed on the average of once every
6 months'. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in
your structure be within 2 feet of the top of the dike.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE S
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it is thelresponsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure
that an i rigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in ables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts ofrNitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report
for assis Once in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper
applicati n rate prior to applying the waste.

Plans and 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. Illegal discharges are subject
to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division
of -Environmental Management for every day the discharge cgntinues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that
the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate
land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own
adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide MRCS
with a copy of a written agreement 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 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, climate 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).
S. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after
waste application. Waste should not be applied when the
wind is blowing.
5. 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 NRCS 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 to provide uniformity of application.
S. 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.

WASTE UTILIZATION -PLAN- PAGE 7
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 a
crop on bare soil.
11. Animal waste ohall 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 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.
IS. 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 should not be
applied on grassed waterways that discharge into water
courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and 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 maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate
storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to,
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. 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 imple-
menting 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 regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks,
-and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept
on site.

described in this waste utilization plan. This equipment must be
available at the appropriate pumping time such that no discharge
occurs from the lagoon in a 25-year 1-day storm event. I also cer-
tify that the waste will be applied on the land according to this
plan at the appropriate times and at rates that no runoff occurs.

Dear Joseph Casey:
The Division of Water Quality (Division) received your sludge survey information on November
8, 2007. With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement for
the Finishing Lagoon at the Joseph Casey Farm facility not to be required until 2009:; Due to the
amounts of treatment volume available, the Division agrees that a sludge survey is not needed
until 2009. The results of the 2009 sludge survey are to be submitted by March 1, 2010.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions, please call me at (919)
715-6937.
Sincerely,

Animal Waste Management System.
Sampson County
Dear Joseph Casey:
In accordance with your application received on 11-Jan-07, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Joseph Casey, authorizing the operation of the subject animal
waste management system in accordance with General Permit AWG 100000.
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 Joseph Casey 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: 2560 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 IN.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 pay
careful attention to the record keeping and monitoring conditions 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

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.
Per 15A NCAC 02T .1306, any containment basin, such as a lagoon or waste storage structure, shall
continue to be subject to the conditions and requirements of the facility's permit until closed to NRCS
standards and the permit is rescinded by the Division.
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.

process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding.
