The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes 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.

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 the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated. If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance). 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies. 992704 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 11/20/2009 Specification Page 1 S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters. 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior'converted cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 992704 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 11/20/2009 Specification Paae 2 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. 992704 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 11/20/2009 Specification Page 3 Crop Notes The following crop note applies to field(s): IA, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3, PIB.

Duplin County Dear Judy Spedding, .There is a condition in your recently issued Animal Waste Management General NPDES Permit. addressing phosphorous loss standards. The permit condition quoted below states that if the state or federal government establishes phosphorus loss standards your facility must conduct an evaluation within 180 days.' The Federal Natural Resources Conservation Service has now established this standard. A computer -based program was developed to determine how much phosphorus was being lost from different fields. Instructions on how to comply with this requirement are provided below. Y In accordance with your NPDES Permit Number NCA231813 Condition 1.6, your facility must now conduct a Phosphorus Loss Assessment. 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. Once Phosphorus loss standards are established by the state or federal government that are applicable to facilities applying to operate under this permit, no Certificate of Coverage will be issued to any new or expanding facility to operate under this permit until the applicant demonstrates that the new or expanding facility can comply with these standards." 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, mcdium, high or very high.according to its Phosphorus One Carolina Mundy Aquifer Protection Section 1636 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1636' Phone (919) 733-3221 Customer Service Internet: http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us 2728 Capital Boulevard Raleigh, NC 27604 Fax (919) 715-0588 1-877-623-6748 .

From the date of receipt of this letter, a period of 180 days is provided to perform PLAT and return the certification form to DWQ. Only a technical specialist who has received specific training may perform PLAT. You are encouraged to contact a technical specialist now to run PLAT on your farm. Your local Soil and Wdter Conservation District may be able to provide assistance. This information on the attached form(s) must be submitted within 180 days of receipt of this letter to: Animal Feeding Operations Unit Division of Water Quality 1636 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1636 NPDES permitted farms will need to have implemented a nutrient management plan which addresses phosphorus loss before the next permit cycle beginning July, 2007. If you have any fields with a high or very high rating, then your waste utilization plan will require modifications. The purpose of performing PLAT this early is to allow adequate time for making waste plan modifications where necessary. With the next permit, continued application of waste will not be allowed on fields with a very high rating. For fields rated high, only the amount of phosphorus projected to be removed by the harvested crop. For low and medium ratings, phosphorus will not be the limiting factor. Once the PLAT evaluation is completed on your farm, you will know if you have fields that need further work. You are encouraged to begin developing and implementing a strategy to deal with any issues as soon as passible. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statue or permitting requirement. --If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact me at (919) 715-6697 or •-- the Wilmington Regional Office at (910) 796-7215.

Our freeboard levels became low due to several factors. Renovations to some of the cropping systems in place were required this past fall and this delayed pumping after the fall harvest. In addition to this, the unseasonably cold weather that came on early and extended throughout the winter months made the fescue and orchardgrass crops appear to go into a mild dormancy state. We felt it unwise to apply effluent during this time. This, coupled with the excessive rainfall during the springtime, led to inadequate freeboard. To correct the situation, we purchased additional irrigation equipment including a new reel and new pumping unit. Also additional risers were installed for both of the spray field systems to increase the acres pumped on. With these additions and the dry weather the lagoons were brought into compliance almost immediately. Our current freeboard levels are 29 at the finisher lagoon and 28 at the sow lagoon. We feel with two lagoons on our facility, the additional irrigation equipment will be a huge benefit to avoid further freeboard violations and'keep them in compliance. We are also researching water conservation methods that will reduce the volume of water entering the lagoons such as hanging water nipples at the finishers. Enclosed you will find freeboard levels, spraying records and rainfall records for the past 12 months to date. Also enclosed are the cropping system and PAN specified in the CAWMP. We hope the above will supply you with adequate information but please do not hesitate to contact us if there are any questions. Sincerely, Jeff and Judy Spedding Michael F.

This lack of adequate freeboard is in non-compliance with the Certificate of Coverage issued to this facility on June 25, 1997. In addition to this Notice of Violation (NOV), this non- compliance is subject to an appropriate enforcement action by DWQ. This action can consist of one or more of the following: a civil or criminal enforcement action; an injunction; and/or a requirement to apply for coverage under an individual permit. The action chosen will be based on complete evaluation of all factors that resulted in the inadequate freeboard; the actions taken to restore the needed freeboard; and the actions being proposed to prevent the problem from reoccurring. To assist us in our review, please provide the Wilmington Regional Office with an evaluation of the reasons for the freeboard violation(s) and a strategy to prevent future freeboard violation(s). This evaluation and strategy must include but is not limited to the following: Current Freeboard level(s) Freeboard level records in the lagoon(s) for the past 12 months up to the date of submittal Spraying records for the past 12 months up to the date of submittal Customer Service.

Director cc: Wilmington Regional Office Non -Discharge Compliance/Enforcement Unit Central Files Jeff & Judy Spedding Permit No: NCA 231813 Re: Animal Facility Annual Certification Form Part II Question 5 This facility keeps its pumping records on a non calendar year basis as required by the NC Division of Water Quality, see attached report dated 9/28/98. The records were originally kept on a calendar year basis until it was required of us to change to a non - calendar reporting cycle. There was no over application of Pan to any fields or crops greater than specified by this facilities CAWMP for the reporting cycle that we have been required to maintain. However, when the Pan applied is recalculated for the calendar year it gives a false impression that there was over application of PAN for specific fields. At this time we would like to request that we be able to return to a calendar year reporting cycle without consequence of perceived over application of Pan so that we may comply better with this annual certification. f a-02 S- 041 Owner LAW Judy Sped ing • it zu"d #r ��ew aS M,� ; Division of Soil and Water Conservation Other Agency� m © Division of Water Quality :qe,W.,xa.�.a�"'c����;+,��F•.:,'!�°'z'� re�b°'.r.:�,. �s.3'-';r -�^,.:•.;,::�+�s-�.�kd;��rF�zr �'2�.�;..,a...z �3ad '�'�.. i Routine 0 Complaint 0 Follow-up of DWQ inspection 0 Follow-up of DSWC review 0 Other Date of Inspection Facility Number ; ( Time of Inspection 24 hr.

Our freeboard levels became low due to several factors. Renovations to some of the cropping systems in place were required this past fall and this delayed pumping after the fall harvest. In addition to this, the unseasonably cold weather that came on early and extended throughout the winter months made the fescue and orchardgrass crops appear to go into a mild dormancy state. We felt it unwise to apply effluent during this time. This, coupled with the excessive rainfall during the springtime, led to inadequate freeboard. To correct the situation, we purchased additional irrigation equipment including a new reel and new pumping unit. Also additional risers were installed for both of the spray field systems to increase`the'acres pumped on. With these additions and the dry weather the lagoons were brought into compliance almost immediately. Our current freeboard levels are 29 at the finisher lagoon and 28 at the sow lagoon. We feel with two lagoons on our facility, the additional irrigation equipment will be a huge benefit to avoid further freeboard violations and keep them in compliance. We are also researching water conservation methods that will reduce the volume of water entering the lagoons such as hanging water nipples at the finishers. Enclosed you will find freeboard levels, spraying records and rainfall records for the past 12 months to date. Also enclosed are the cropping system and PAN specified in the CAWMP. We hope the above will supply you with adequate information but please do not hesitate to contact us if there are any questions. Sincerely, Jeff and Judy Spedding Michael F.

The records were originally kept on a calendar year basis until it was required of us to change to a non - calendar reporting cycle. There was no over application of Pan to any fields or crops greater than specified by this facilities CAWMP for the reporting cycle that we have been required to maintain. However, when the Pan applied is recalculated for the calendar year it gives a false impression that there was over application of PAN for specific fields. At this time we would like to request that we be able to return to a calendar year reporting cycle without consequence of perceived'over application of Pan so that we may comply better with this annual certification.

Box 444 Richlands, NC 28574 Mr. Jeff Spedding P.O. Box 100 Kenansville, NC 28349 November 17, 2003 Dear Mr. Spedding, On Friday, November 14, we met at your farm to discuss renovation of hay stands on the sprayfields. Among the issues involved was the quantity of weed and annual grass residue present and its possible effects on successful re-establishment of tall fescue and orchardgrass. My feeling is that the density of residue would cause two problems if not removed. First, it would prevent consistent penetration of the soil by the no -till drill you have available, resulting in poor seed -soil contact in the thicker areas, perhaps leading to drill adjustment which would place the seed too deep in the soil in areas where the thatch is less dense. Second, the mulch effect of the residue would inhibit the emergence of germinating seed and the development of a dense stand. The options for managing the residue include moldboard plowing to bury the material, mowing and baling the material and removing from the field, or burning the material. In my opinion, burning the residue either after windrowing or in place is the preferred option. The heavy tillage required to bury the residue would take a substantial amount of time to perform, and would push the already late planting further into the winter. Disturbing an area of soil this size in the cool season may also lead to soil erosion if we experience more of the heavy rainfall that we have had for the last twelve months. Removing the material in round bales poses the problem of disposing of the material, which, due to its composition and deteriorated condition, would be of no value as hay and would merely pose a liability to the farm. Burning i s a practice we d o not often recommend, except for disease a nd insect c ontrol in warm - season grasses. However it is a useful and ocassionally necessary practice when field residue cannot be managed in other ways. In this case, I feel that the trade-off for reducing erosion and maintaining soil structure is both environmentally and economically prudent. You should obtain the necessary burning permit, disk a fire break around the fields, and try to bum on a windless day, if possible. It may be a good idea to ask the local fire department to have a truck on standby in case you lose control of the fire. Another option which may enhance fire safety is to mow and windrow the material before burning, although I think a cleaner burn would be obtained with the material left in place. Also, please take care not to allow smoke to become a driving hazard on 140. Given that it is already a month past our latest recommended planting date for tall fescue and orchardgrass, and that you are using no -till, I would increase seeding rates to 25 lb per acre for fescue and 20 lb per acre for orchardgrass. The target seeding depth is 0.5 inch. I will be glad to assist with drill calibration and adjustment if needed. I would apply up to 30 lb per acre PAN this fall, and resume regular application in compliance with your W UP in February. I also think it would be a good idea to diversify the species you have on your sprayfields. l would suggest trying a few acres of Tifton 85 bermudagrass, which can be sprigged as dormant material in mid -February to mid -March, or after early spring growth has emerged and been clipped off, in late -April to early -June. Reliance on only cool -season grasses may be contributing to the stand loss you experienced. Although small amounts of PAN are allowed on these grasses during the summer months, such applications may contribute to the onset of Rhizoctonia (brown patch) and other 0 Page 2 November 18, 2003 diseases. In our often wet and always humid summer conditions, disease inoculum is always present beneath the canopy, and lush growth which occurs when plant tissue nitrogen is elevated, renders the grass more susceptible to the onset of foliar fungal disease. The best defense against outbreaks of brown patch is to avoid PAN application during hot, moist weather conditions, and to harvest hay frequently enough to maintain a canopy which allows some air movement and drying during the day. These diseases are normally worse in fescue due to the canopy density; orchardgrass is normally a clumpy grass and does not usually develop severe foliar disease, although it will be a short-lived crop in this part of the state. Both grasses should be cut to a stubble height of about three to four inches. To avoid high levels of endophyte toxin in fescue, harvest at early boot stage, well prior to seedhead emergence. You should proceed with spraying the Butyrac for broadleaf weeds in the alfalfa field as soon as possible in order to salvage that stand, and proceed with planting the grasses soon as well. Please feel free to call anytime I can be of assistance. Sincerely yours, Tim S. Hall Regional Agronomist NCDA&CS �C W A 749 Michael F. Easley, Governor William G.

The Wilmington Regional Office has determined that no further enforcement actions will be taken by the Division for the inadequate freeboard. However, upon review and consideration of the information submitted, the Wilmington Regional Office has determined that an NOV is appropriate due to unsatisfactory operation and maintenance of the waste treatment system. In the future, please continue to evaluate ways to maintain freeboard levels in the required range. These methods include, but are not limited to, water conservation practices, adding additional application sites, updating your cropping systems, adding additional and/or more flexible application equipment, and maintaining the lagoon levels at the lowest allowable and appropriate levels throughout the year. Our staff looks forward to continuing to work with you and your Technical Specialist to evaluate and implement any needed changes to your system. ram► >� CEI MN Customer Service: Mailing Address: Telephone: (919) 733-5083 Location; 1 800 623-7748 1617 Mail Service Center Fax: (919) 733-0059 512 N.

Director Division of Water Quality Subject: Response to Your September 13, 2002 Letter Jeff & Judy Spedding — Grower #296 Facility Number: 31-813 Duplin County.-.._ Dear Ms. Spedding: Thank you for your letter dated September 13, 2002 and the attachments. The following provides an explanation as it relates to the information you submitted with the referenced letter. The waste analysis report that you enclosed is dated March 1, 2002, and it is within 60 days of the January 16, 17, 18, and 21, 2002 application events. This waste analysis report was not available during Mr. Mathis May 30, 2002 inspection. If the referenced waste analysis report had been available during the inspection, the notation of a violation for not having an analysis of the animal waste within 60 days of the January 16, 17, 18, and 21, 2002 application events could have been avoided. Nonetheless, you have the necessary analysis of the animal waste for the January 2002 application events so there is no violation for not having an analysis of the animal waste within 60 days of the January 2002 events. However, the violation that was noted for not having an analysis of the animal waste within 60 days of the November 2001 application events still stands. Also, you still need to ensure that an analysis of the animal waste conducted within 60 days of a given application event is used to calculate the nitrogen applied for that event on the application records. The Soil Test Report that you enclosed is dated June 11, 2002, and it appears to be a representative soil analysis as required by Condition Ili. 3 of the General Permit. Therefore, there is no violation of Condition II1. 3 of the General Permit at this time. Please note that the June 11, 2002 Soil Test Report indicates that there is a need for 1.3 tons of time per acre and 1.6 tons of lime per acre on the fields that samples SF2 and SF3 represent, respectively. Please apply the lime as indicated in the soil test report in order to comply with Condition II. 3 of the General Permit that states "Lime must be applied, as needed, to maintain soil pH in the optimum range for crop production."

In your letter, you address each of the violations. You say that several'items have been repaired, plans are in place to reseed -fields, and record keeping issues are being given proper attention. Your apparent efforts are appreciated. I may be in contact in the near future to schedule a follow-up inspection of your facility to observe your accomplishments. 1 am also in receipt of the wettable acre determination documentation and corresponding nutrient management plans for your facility. Once again your efforts in completing this -task are appreciated. You say in your letter that the newly calculated acreage and PAN are now being used. You also need to be sure to perform land application of the animal waste in accordance with the wettable acre determination, the nutrient management plans, and the permit. Also, be aware that the map and wettable acre documentation describe a Hydrant E for the Feeder to Finish operation. However, Hydrant E appears to have been inadvertently left out of the nutrient management plan for the Feeder to Finish operation. Hydrant E must be included in the nutrient management plan in order to be used for animal waste application. You also say in- your letter that you feel that several of the violations do not warrant or should not be considered a violation. However, be advised that the violations are violations as conveyed in the Notice of Violation and as further described below: 1 } The existence of sinkholes and improperly functioning drain tile in the land application fields was evidence that the land application fields were not being maintained at all times and properly operated and so the resultant permit condition violation has been issued. 2) Fields 1 W and 2W of the finishing operation and Fields 1 W, 2W, 3W, and 4W of the sow _ operation were without a maintained stand of fescue. Consequently, a violation of the permit condition that requires that a vegetative cover be maintained on the land application fields in accordance with the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) has been issued.

You say that this represents one point in time and that it is your understanding that the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is considering using the annual average number of animals to determine compliance. The present policy of the DWQ is that overstocking at any one point in time is a violation. Therefore, the resultant violation has been issued. -� "5) Rainwater from the surrounding' property and buildings entering the lagoon is a violation of the permit. Therefore, the resultant violation has been issued. 6) It appears that you do not dispute the violation for not having an analysis of the animal waste within 60 days of November 2001 application events. However, you say that there was an animal waste analysis. for the January 16, 17, 18, and 21, 2002 events. Please submit a copy of the referenced animal waste analysis report within ten days of your receipt of this letter. Also, an analysis of the animal waste conducted within 60 days of the date of application needs to be used to determine the amount of plant -available nitrogen (PAN) applied for an application in accordance with Condition M. 5 of the General Permit. 7) The failure to keep lagoon- freeboard level records for the lagoons on a weekly basis are a violation of the permit, and so the resultant violation has been issued. 8) The noted permit condition requires that a representative Standard Soil Fertility Analysis be conducted. -During the inspection, Mr. Spedding said that the soil samples were not properly taken. Improperly taken soil samples may not produce a representative analysis, and therefore the resultant violation has been issued. You also say that new soil samples were collected and*reports received on June 12, 2002. Please submit a copy of the referenced soil test reports within ten days of your receipt of this letter. Be advised that the Division of Water Quality may take further action in these matters including assessment of civil penalties, injunctive relief, and permit revocation.

ACTION TAKEN: The sinkholes noted showed no evidence of a discharge and in most tile problems of this type the tile does not flow or function properly due to material from the sinkhole blocking the tile. We consider this a repair and maintenance of normal agriculture operations not warranting a Violation. Nevertheless, the tile and sinkholes have been properly repaired as of June 11, 2002. 2) VIOLATION: Several application fields including Fields 1 W and 2W of the finishing operation and Fields I W, 2W, 3W and 4W of the sow operation were without a maintained stand of fescue as the receiving crop. ACTION TAKEN: All necessary agronomic steps to improve the stand of fescue had been taken including re -seeding the fields twice. We could not control the rainfall or temperature which are both necessary when re -seeding fescue and the seeding window is fairly small resulting in insufficient time to re -seed again. Once again, we do not feel that this should be considered a Violation. Current plans are to re -seed designated 1Melds by September 30, 2002. NC Division of Water Quality Jeff and Judy Spedding — Grower #296 Facility Number: 31-813 Duplin County -2 — 3) VIOLATION: Animal waste leaks had occurred at the pumping station on the sow lagoon. ACTION TAKEN: Repair and maintenance of farm equipment is standard operating procedure. We agree that if a repair or maintenance problem is not corrected in a reasonable time that a Violation may be in order. In this case a leaky butterfly valve and air release have been repaired to prevent leaks. There was no discharge to surface waters and the repair was made in a timely manner. We feel that this should not be considered a Violation. 4) VIOLATION: The facility was being operated at 4007 Feeder to Finish animals and 1213 Farrow to Feeder animals. ACTION TAKEN: The number of animals shown on the NOV represent one point in time for stocking. It is our understanding the DWQ is considering using the annual average number of animals to determine if stocking is out of compliance. Using the annual average numbers, we feel that our farm will be in compliance. Our present action will be to discuss this situation with Murphy -Brown Technical Specialists for recommendations retrardina future stoekin. We feel that this item should be deferred until DWQ issues a clear policy on how to determine accurate stocking rates. 5) VIOLATION: Rainwater had been entering the pipes that connect the swine houses to the lagoon and thereby discharging into the lagoon at the finishing site. ACTION: We do not feel that this item should be considered a Violation. Although additional rainwater should not enter the lagoon, it is contained and recycled back through the buildings and sprayfields. It is in our best interest to prevent excess water from entering the lagoon and the nine has been repaired as of June It. 2002. 6) VIOLATION: There was no analysis of the animal waste conducted within 60 days of application events that occurred in November 2001 and on January 16, 17, 18, and 21, 2002. NC Division of Water Quality Jeff and Judy Spedding — Grower #296 Facility Number: 31-813 Duplin County -3 - ACTION: Proffer animal waste analysis has been performed _since the November 2001_violation and will be performed every 30 to 60 days to ensure compliance with the General Permit, Condition 111.4. There was an animal waste analysis for the January 16, 17, 18, and 21, 2002 events. 7) VIOLATION: Lagoon freeboard level records were not being kept weekly for the lagoons. ACTION: Although technically this may constitute a Violation, we feel that based upon the total records kept that the 3 weeks missed due to an oversight deserve noting and warning but not a Violation. We will be more diligent in maintaininnweekly lemon freeboard level records to stay in compliance. 8) VIOLATION: Some of the soil samples for the Standard Soil Fertility Analysis may have been improperly taken in the field. ACTION: We do not feel that this should be considered a Violation since soil samples had been taken and were available for review. However, new soil samples were collected and reports received on June 12, 2002. In response to item 9, a Wettable Acre Determination was completed for our facility on June 11,2002 and the newly calculated acreage and PAN are now being used. Please find enclosed all WAD documentation including the WAD Certification, maps, calculation sheets, and the revised WMP. Copies of all WAD documentation as well as the WMP has been sent to the Duplin County Soil and Water Conservation District office. We anticipate that this answers all your concerns. We desire to conduct our farm in compliance with all rules and regulations and will continue to work diligently to accomplish this. We look forward to working with your office.

Director Division of Water Quality July 29, 2002 CERTIFIED MAIL, # 7002 0860 0003 9550 8083 RETURN RECEIPT RESTED Judy Spedding PO Box 100 Kenansville, NC 28349 Subject. Notice of Violation Jeff & Judy Spedding — Grower 4296 Facility Number: 31-813 Duplin County Dear Ms. Spedding; This is to notify you of violations of Swine Waste General Permit Number AWG 100000 under which your facility is covered by Certificate of Coverage AWS310813. On May 30, 2002, Mr. Stonewall Mathis of this office performed an inspection of your animal operation and the animal waste management system serving your operation. During the inspection, Mr. Mathis noted the following: 1) Sinkholes that were possibly the result of improperly functioning drain tiles were in the land application fields. These sinkholes and improperly functioning drain tiles are violations of Condition 1I. 1 of the General Permit that states "The collection, treatment, and storage facilities, and land application equipment and fields shall be maintained at all times and properly operated." 2) The Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) for your facility designates the receiving crop as fescue hay for the land application fields. Several application fields including Fields I W and 2W of the finishing operation and Fields I W, 2W, 3W, and 4W of the sow operation were without a maintained stand of fescue as the receiving crop. These are violations of Condition 1I. 1 of the General Permit as stated above and Condition I1. 2 of the General Permit that states "A vegetative cover shall be maintained on all land application fields and buffers in accordance with the CAWMP. No waste may be applied upon fields not included in the CAWMP." 3) Animal waste leaks had occurred at the pumping station on the sow lagoon. This is a violation of Condition 1I, 1 of the General Permit. 4) The Certificate of Coverage and the CAWMP for your facility allows for an animal capacity of no greater than 3672 Feeder to Finish and 1200 Farrow to Feeder. The facility was being operated at 4007 Feeder to Finish animals and 1213 Farrow to Feeder animals. This is a violation of Certificate of Coverage AWS310813 and Condition 1. 2 of the General Permit that incorporates the CAWMP into the permit and states that any violation of the CAWMP shall be considered a violation of the permit.

This is a violation of Condition 11. 9 of the General Permit that states "Unless accounted for in temporary storage volume, all uncontaminated runoff from the surrounding property and buildings shall be diverted away from the animal waste lagoons and storage ponds to prevent any unnecessary addition to the liquid volume in the structures." 6) (a) There was no analysis of the animal waste conducted within 60 days of application events that occurred in November 2001 and on January 16, 17, 18, and 21, 2002. These are violations of Condition 111. 4 of the General Permit that states in part "An analysis of the animal waste shall be conducted as close to the time of application as practical and at least within 60 days (before or after) of the date of application." (b) Also, an analysis of the animal waste conducted within 60 days of the date of application needs to be used to determine the amount of plant available nitrogen (PAN) applied for an application in accordance with Condition Ell. 5 of the General Permit. An August 22, 2001 analysis of the animal waste was being used to calculate the amount of PAN applied for May 2002 application events in violation of Condition III. 5. 7) Lagoon freeboard level records were not being kept weekly for the lagoons. This is a violation of Condition 111. 2 of the General Permit that states in part "Waste lagoon and storage pond levels shall be recorded weekly on forms supplied or approved by the DWQ." 8) Some of the soil samples for the Standard Soil Fertility Analysis may have been improperly taken in the field. These are violations of Condition III. 3 of the General Permit that states "A representative Standard Soil Fertility Analysis, including pH, copper, and zinc, shall be conducted annually on each application field receiving -animal waste. The results of these tests shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for a minimum of three years and shall be made available to the DWQ upon request." 9) More acreage was being claimed on the application records than could be irrigated by the land application equipment. These are violations of Condition III. 5 of the General Permit that states "Records, including land application event(s) and removal of -solids to an off -site location(s) records, shall be maintained by the Permittee in chronological and legible form for a minimum of three years. These records shall be maintained on forms provided or approved by the DWQ and shall be readily available for inspection." Also, proper means of assuring that land application rates were in accordance with the CAWMP and that land application rates were not exceeding the -Plant Available Nitrogen rate for the receiving crop were not in use; Condition 11. 4 of the General Permit states "Land application rates shall be in accordance with the CAWMP. in no case shall land application rates exceed the Plant Available Nitrogen rate for the receiving crop or result in runoff during any given application." In response to the violations noted in this item, you are required to have a Wettable Acre Determination (WAD) completed for your facility. Only the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan (WMP) as receiving waste application. Any acreage that cannot I/ Judy Spedding July 29, 2002 Page Three be covered by waste application equipment cannot be used as part of your plan. Please contact a Technical Specialist to have him or her conduct a WAD for your facility. The Technical Specialist must be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialists with the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service, the Sol] and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this designation, or a Professional Engineer. In conjunction with the completion of a WAD for your facility, any and all needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made, and the WMP for your facility must be revised in accordance with the WAD and modifications. A copy of all WAD documentation including the WAD Certification, maps, calculation sheets, and the revised WMP must be submitted to this office by August 31, 2002.

In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers. Beginning January i, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. ERR I, IRR2, DRY I, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR I, SLUR2, SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an appropriate enforcement action.

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 different 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. 4. 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 APR-27-99 TUE 9�49 AM BROWN S FAX NO, 9102961675 P. 2 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. 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 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. 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.): 3672 animals X 986 gal/animal/year = 3,618,756 gallons 2000 animals X 4015 gal/animal/year = 4818000 gallons TOTAL 8436756 gallons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN PRODUCED PER YEAR (Ibs): 3672 animals X 2000 animals X 2.30 lbs/animal/year = 6.5 Ibs/anlmal/year = 8,445.60 Ibs 7800 Ibs TOTAL 16245.6Ibs Applying the above amount of waste is a big job.

NOTE: This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above. The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen. In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), 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 reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will defnately interfere Page: 3 APR-27-99 TUE 9'50 AM BROWN S FAX NO, 9IC2961675 P. 4 017 stsf7d elf be rmudagrass, loss of stand will result in reduce- gilds 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 the 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 cut to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

Your production facility will produce approximately 0.36 pounds of plant available nitrogen per animal per year in the in sludge based on the application method listed earlier. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 6609.60 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 22.03 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 52.88 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirement could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and applications, 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 the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

Based upon the above facts and conclusions of law, I hereby assess Buck Sholar a $500.00 civil penalty for this violation of N.C.G.S. 90 A-47.2 and 15A NCAC 8F .0201 pursuant to the authority delegated to me by N.C.G.S. 90 A-47.2 and 15A NCAC 8F .0201.

It was observed at this time that both operations had appropriate freeboard levels. However, both spray fields were overgrown by weeds rather than the appropriate crop outlined in the waste utilization plan (coastal bermuda grass.) It was observed that both fields were dry and did not appear to have been utilized recently. As was discussed in our telephone conversation on November 30, you need to re-establish and maintain the appropriate crop and acreage rotation required by your certified waste utilization plan. USDA -MRCS requirements specify that animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops. And that waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil. To remain a deemed permitted facility, you must notify this office in writing within thirty (30) days of the receipt of this notice, what actions will be taken to comply with your waste management plan. Failure to do so may result in the facility losing it's deemed permitted status and being required to obtain an individual non discharge permit for the facility. 127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, N.C. 28405.3845 a telephone 910-395-3900 + Fax 910-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer Buck Sholar, Jr. December 5, 1995 Page 2 Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes and Rules to discharge wastewater to the surface waters of the State without a permit and/or to fail to follow a certified waste management plan.

On December 10, 1992 the Environmental Management Commission adopted a water quality rule which governs animal waste management systems. The goal of the rule is for animal operations to be managed such that animal waste is not discharged to surface waters of the state. The rule allows animal waste systems to be "deemed permitted" if certain minimum criteria are met (15A NCAC 2H .0217). By submitting this registration you have met one of the criteria for being deemed permitted. We would like to remind you that existing feedlots which meet the size thresholds listed in the rule, and any new or expanded feedlots constructed between February 1, 1993 and December 31, 1993 must submit a signed- -c-gification form (copy enclosed) to DEM by December 31, 1997. New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31, 1993 must obtain signed certification before animals are stocked on the farm. Certification of an approved animal waste management plan can be obtained after the Soil and Water Conservation Commission adopts rules later this year. We appreciate you providing us with this information. If you have any question about the new nondischarge rule, please contact David Harding at (919) 733-5083, enc: Sincerely, _d A /it.

During the inspection, it was observed, that erosion on the wall of lagoon #2 could eventually threaten the integrity of the structure. As we discussed, this erosion should be corrected, and all bare areas on the lagoon wall should be revegetated. We suggest that you contact your service company, local NRCS office, or Soil and Water District office for any assistance they may be able to provide to correct this situation. You must notify this office in writing within fourteen (14) days of the receipt of this notice, what actions are being taken to correct this deficiency. Failure to do so may result in the facility being required to obtain an individual non discharge permit. Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes to discharge wastewat(:r to the surface waters of the State without a permit. The Division of Water Quality has the authority to leN°y a civil penalty of not more than $10, 000 per day per violation. 127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, N.C. 28405-3845 • Telephone 910-395-3900 • Fax 910-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer Do not use for Intemationai Mail (See reverse Sont t9 t Nu pad plfice.

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 different 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. 4. 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 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. 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 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. 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. time 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.): 3672 animals X 985.50 gal/animal/year = 3,618,756 gallons 1200 animals X 4,015 gal/animal/year = 4,818,000 gallons Total 8436756 gallons Zw AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN PRODUCED PER YEAR (Ibs): 3672 animals X 2.30 lbs/animallyear = 1200 animals X 6.50 Ibs/animallyear = 8,445.60 Ibs 7,800.00 Ibs Total �jf 45.60 sbl 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.

A positive number means additional acreage is required to utilize the nitrogen produced by the farm. NOTE: This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above. The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen. In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), 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 reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately 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 Page: 3 consider harvesting hay or silage two to tnree times during the season, depending on the 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 cut to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results. The following legend explains the crop codes listed in the table above: Crop -Code ro A Barley B Hybrid Bermudagrass - Grazed C Hybrid Bermudagrass - Hay D Corn - Grain E Corn - Silage F Cotton G Fescue - Grazed H Fescue- Hay I Oats J Rye K Small Grain - Grazed L Small Grain - Hay M Grain Sorghum N Wheat 0 Soybean Lbs N utilized I unit yield 1.6 Ibs N / bushel 50 Ibs N / ton 50 Ibs N / ton 1.25 ibs N / bushel 12 Ibs N / ton 0.12 lbs N / Ibs lint 50 Ibs N / ton 50 Ibs N / ton 1.3 Ibs N / bushel 2.4 ibs N / bushel 100 Ibs N / acre 133 Ibs N / acre 2.5 Ibs N / cwt 2.4 Ibs N / bushel 4.0 Ibs N / bushel Acres shown in the preceding table 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 0.36 pounds of plant available nitrogen per animal per year in the sludge based on the application method listed earlier for the finishing unit and 1 pound for the sow farm. Page: 4 If you remove the sludge every 5'years, you will have approximately 12609.60 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 42.03 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 100.88 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and applications. 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 the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts. Tract Field Soil Type Crop Application Rate inlhr 71707 2 Wo G 0.60 71707 2 GbA G 0.60 Application Amount * inches 1.00 1.00 *This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. 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 the waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsiability of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply Page: 5 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 for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste. Additional Comments: Grower has additional land not listed in plan to utilize sludge nitrogen.

LAGOON�MARKER F- I r- FREEB('-)A.--,.) + -'.-)5YR/24HR STORM IAXIMUM LEVEL 'ARY T fINIMUM Ll(.'-! L E- V E-- L 'ERMANENT } SHEET 1 OF 2 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN ------------------------------ This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and 180 days of temporary storage. The time required for the planned fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for: (1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also included is storage for the 25 year - 24 hour storm for the location. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available. A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from building(s). If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth. Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without runoff or leaching. Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out: 1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre - charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete, flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after initial filling. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment) before land application. 3. Begin temporary storage pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches the elevation 46.7 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump - out when the fluid level reaches elevation 44.6 . This temporary storage, less 25 yr- 24 hr storm, contains 222971 cubic feet or 1667824 gallons. SHEET 2 OF 2 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 inch per hour. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details. 5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. 6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and establish in vegetation. 7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets. 8. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right--of-ways. 9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ- mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.
