The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to
reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is
to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be
analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all
plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
2 2009
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in ojg@@r to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an enviroM *"illy-.
safe
manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are
important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange
capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land
eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be
applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils; when it
is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to
surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be
considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for
crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a
growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to.planting:afgAWhe
waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. '
A; ,t c 2 Z009
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on Wcal-=trient-centent-for
this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from
your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application.
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an
agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of
an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the
use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to
secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation,
increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land.
Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop
yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level
of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other
nutrients.
4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste
may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per
year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG
Standard 393 - Filter Strip).
Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated
on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland,
the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season
prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.)
Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff
does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies.
Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.

On April 28, 2003, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the
Division of Water Quality (Division) to extend the expiration date of the Swine Waste Operation General
Permit AWG100000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the
expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with
all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit.
In accordance with your application received on February 13, 2003 and in accordance with the directive
of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to
EnviroTech Farms, Inc. , authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment,
storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The issuance of
this COC supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS310263 which expired on April
30,2003.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Comfed II, located in Duplin County, with an animal capacity of no greater than
an annual average of 2808 Wean to Feeder swine and the application to land as specified in the facility's
Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder
operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary, they may be
replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts
for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 1, 2004. Pursuant to this COC, you
are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this 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.
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 for ate
under this permit convey any nrooertv rights in either real or nersonal orooertv. eM�

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 reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to ensure
proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every three years is
recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at several locations in
the application area. Any number of containers can . be used to collect flow and
determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because they already have a
graduated scale from which to read the application amount without having to perform
additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a uniform
opening and cross-section can be used provided the liquid collected can be easily
transferred to a scaled container for measuring.
For 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 pQrpendicular 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.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon management should be a year-round priority. It is especially important to manage
levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and wet periods.
Maximum storage capacity should be available In the lagoon for periods when the receiving crop is
dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are extended rainy spells such as a
thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means that at the first sign of plant growth in the
later winter / early spring, irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be done
whenever the land in dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in
the lagoon for future wet periods. In the late summer / early fall the lagoon should be pumped down
to the low marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to
maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste utilization
plan will allow it.
Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to irrigated does
not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods. Overflow from the lagoon for
any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of state law and subject to penalty action.
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam. Fescue or common bermudagrass
are the most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each
year, if needed, to maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilized applied should
be based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain a soils test
each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas should be fertilized with
800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or equivalent.
Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be done by
mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of these practices. This
should be done at least once a year and possibly twice in years that weather
conditions are favorable for heavy vegetative growth.
NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter the lagoon
water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating the waste.
Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of the lagoon
and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be checked should include,
as a minimum, the following:
Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes — look for:
1. separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4. overall condition of pipes
M00202041513

Lagoon surface -- look for:
1. undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
Embankment — look for:
1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes
2. side slope stability — slumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to lack or vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong,.
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam.
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the lagoon may be
used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your lagoon has
any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and
construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a
threat of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps — check for proper operation of:
1. recycling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check for leaks, loose fittings, and 6verall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding
noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need of repair or
replacement.
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that
you are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your
pumping system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will
allow some safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is
not the time to think about switching, repairing, or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your
lagoon is full, your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an
inventory of spare parts or pumps.
• Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface drainage
waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parking lot
runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste treatment or storage
structures. The only water that should be coming from your lagoon is that
which comes from your flushing (washing) system pipes and the rainfall that
hits the lagoon directly. You should inspect your diversion system for the
following:
1. adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3. ridge berm height
M00202041514

Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an overflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into
the lagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoon Operation
Startup:
1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before waste
loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the end of the
pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial filling or another
means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of the lining.
4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize bacterial
establishment (due to warmer weather).
5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon liquid
volume. This seeding should occur at least two weeks prior to the addition of
wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below 7.0, add
agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid volume
until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid pH is between 7.5 and 8.0.
A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate biological
activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended if these
conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm season.
Loading:
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the
lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily
are optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are
drained and recharged each day, also work well.
M00202041515

• Practice water conservation — minimize building water usage and spillage from
leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenance and water
conservation.
• Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This will reduce the
amount of solids entering the lagoon.
Management:
• Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and the full
temporary storage level.
• Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liquid level
and the maximum liquid level. (Figure 2-1).
• Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on nutrient
requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage will be maximized for the
summer thunderstorm season. Similarly, irrigate in the late summer / early fall to
provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter.
• The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest point of the
dam or embankment.
• Don not pump the lagoon liquid level lower than the permanent storage level unless
you are removing sludge.
• Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid surface and
as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible.
• Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation, molded
feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon.
• Frequently remove solids from cafch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are installed.
• Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges.
• Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment.
• Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is full or
before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume.
• If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and
implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:
5 1400202041516 1

• proper lagoon sizing,
• mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
• gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
• minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
• have more nutrients,
• have more odor, and
• require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
• Hire a custom applicator.
• Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper - agitator impeller pump through large -
bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland; and soil incorporate.
• Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland; mix
remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul and spread onto cropland or
forageland; and soil incorporate.
• Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland;
dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm an area beside lagoon
to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back into lagoon; allow sludge to
dewater, haul and spread with manure spreader onto cropland or forageland; and soil
incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
requirement. Waste application rates wilt be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage.
Close attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner
remains intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you
should stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can
be removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content
than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus and
metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of erosion.
Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphors, it should be
applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other wastes,
always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
could increase the concern of neighbors.

Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure.
Types of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of
the dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for
ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include:
• Modification of the lagoon structure — an example is the placement of a pipe in the dam
without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in lagoon design before
placing any pipes in dams.)
• Lagoon liquid levels -- high levels are a safety risk.
• Failure to inspect and maintain the dam.
• Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon.
• Liner integrity — protect from inlet pipe scouring, damage during sludge removal, or
rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater table.
NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon cause
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large
discharge of wastewater and possible dam failure.

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
your 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.
Stop the release of wastes and contain. Depending on the situation, this may or may not
be possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below:
m 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 flow to the lagoon immediately.
d) Call a pumping contractor.
e) Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
3 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.
d) Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that caused the runoff.
a Leakage from the waste pipes and/or sprinklers - actions include:
a) Stop recycle pump.
b) Stop irrigation pump.
c) Make sure no siphon occurs.
d) Stop all flow in the house(s),
flush systems, or solid separators.
� Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to
flowing leaks - possible actions:
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.
GAIS0140011Fonns and POHdes%emergency action plan.doc
5110101

c) Have a professional evaluate the condition of the sidewalls and the lagoon
bottom as soon as possible.
Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a) Did the waste reach surface waters?
b) Approximately how much was released and for what duration?
c) Any damage notes, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage?
d) Did the spill leave the property?
e) Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters?
f) Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters?
g) Are potable water wells in danger (either on or off the property)?
h) How much reached surface waters?
2. Activate Environmental Emergency Contact Plan (attached)
3. If none of the above works call 911 or the Sheriffs Department and explain your problem
to them and ask the person to contact the proper agencies for you.
4. Implement procedures as advised by DWQ and technical assistance agencies to rectify
the damage, repair the system, and reassess the waste management plan to keep
problems with release of wastes from happening again.

Dear IYM r. i tans..

Enclosed is your copy of a wetland determination for tract 13q, on which you indicated
Your intent to clear some land. The attached map has been delineated to show the area(s) in
question. Each area to be cleared has been identified with a symbol to denote its classification.
Below is an explanation of the various symbols that may pertain to your map.
W - Wetland - Area is a wetland and should not be cleared for any reason if you
wish to remain eligible for USDA programs, receive SCS technical assistance, or avoid
violating US Army Corp of Engineers' and Division of Environmental Management
(DEM) regulations. Any exceptions to this statement should be in writing from the Soil
Conservation Service prior to clearing land.
Y, NW- Non wetland - Area is non wetland and can be cleared and utilized without.
violating Farm Bill. This determination of non wetland is only for Farm Bill purposes.
You may still need US Army Corp of Engineers and Division of Environmental
Management determinations before clearing. The Soil Conservation Service does not (�
have the authority to make wetla,n/d deter iinations for these other two agencies. A"

NW- Non wetland - Area has hydric,soils but for Farm Bill purposes only, area is prat �h«
non wetland due to hydrology modification prior to 12/23/85. You still need to check
with the US Army Corp of Engineersror the NC DEM to determine if additional permits
are necessary prior to clearing.
CW - Converted Wetland after 11/28/90 - Area was cleared after 11/28/90 and is
a converted wetland. Clearing constitutes a violation of the 1990 Farm Bill. In order to
regain eligibility for USDA programs, area must be restored. Consult with the SCS
about an approved restoration plan before beginning any restoration.
if you need to clear the delineated wetlands for roads, buildings, hog lagoons or similar
activities, you can request a converted wetland for non agricultural use (CWNA) exemption.
If granted, this exemption would be for Farm Bill purposes only; therefore, you would still
need to contact the Army Corp of Engineers and the Division of Environmental Management.
To request a CWNA exemption, you should complete a request form at the SCS office. It will
take approximately 40 days to get this exemption approved once you give this office the
request. Do not start any clearing of wetland prior to receiving written notification from
this office that your CWNA request has been approved. Also you should not start clearing
until you have received approval from the Army Corp and DEM. All three permits must be
received and approved prior to clearing any wetlands.
I have tried to make this determination as fairly as possible. However if you believe this
determination is incorrect, you have the right to appeal. To appeal send me a brief -letter
explaining why you believe this determination is incorrect. Send the letter to the address on
the letterhead. This letter should be received within 15 days of your receipt of this letter.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN SHEET 1 OF 2
-------------------------------
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 storaqe 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 78.8 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump —
out when the fluid level reaches elevation 76.6 This temporary
storage, less 25 yr— 24 hr storm, contains 53964 cubic feet or
403648 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.

SHEET 1 OF 2
SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT" LAGOONS
FOUNDATION PREPARATION:
The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be
cleared of trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush, boulders,sod and rubbish.
Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoil from
the lagoon acid pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on
the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area of the
lagoon embankment_ and building pad shall. be thoroughly loosened prior
to placing the first lift of fill material to get a good bond.
EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT:
The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines,
grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall
be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen soil, stones over
6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent
they are suitable, excavated materials can be used as fill. The fill
shall be brought up in approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9
inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer -
will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading
equipment or standard tamping roller- or other equivalent method.
Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed
to consolidate to the point that settlement, is not.readily detectible.
NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER
SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon shall be
installed using the more impervious materials from the required
excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for,
settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height and with an impoundment
capacity of 10 acre—feet or more fall under- the jurisdiction of the NC
Dam Safety Law. 'The height is defined as the difference in elevation
from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike.
Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive
erosion and sedimentation.
LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.6 ft.
------------ ----------__..._.
NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS
INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERIAL IS
ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER
IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE SOILS REPORT.
When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be over —
excavated below finish grade to the specified depth as measured
perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall be backfilled
as specified to grade with a SCS approved material (ie — CL,SC,CH).
REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN THE PLANS FOR SPECIAL
CONSIDERATIONS.

SHEET 2 OF 2
Soil liner material shall come from an approved borrow area. The
minimum water- content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture
content which relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneadrd
in the hand it will form a ball which does not readily separate- Water -
shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper- moisture content
during placement of the liner- The moisture content of the liner
material shall not be less than optimum water content during placement.
The maximum water content relates to the soil material being too wet
for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Proper
compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and
compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum ASTM D698 Cry Unit
Weight of the .liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous lift
shall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement of die next
lift.
The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted perme—
ability of a clay liner, other- than the type of clay used for the
liner, is the efficient construction processing of the compacted liner -
The sequence of equipment use and the routing of equipment in an estab—
lished pattern helps assure uniformity in the whole placement and
compaction process. For most clay soils, a tamping or sheepsfoot
roller is the preferable type of compaction equipment-.
The soil liner- shall be protected from the discharge of waste outlet
pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator(rocks)
or using flexible outlets on waste pipes.
Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant.
When these are specified, additional construction specifications are
included with this Construction Specification.
CUTOFF TRENCH:
A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when
shown on a typical cross section in the plans. The final depth of the
cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation
materials.
VEGETATION:
All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded
to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construc—
tion according to the seeding specifications. Topsoil should be placed
on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch
shall be used if the -recommended permanent vegetation is out of season
dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should be established as soon
as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates.
REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS
When tile drains are encountered, the tile will be removed to a minimum
of 10 feet beyond the outside toe of slope of the dike. The tile
trench shall be backfilled and compacted with good material such as
SC, CL, or CH.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 31-263
Duplin County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRR1, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRYS, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLDI, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the

Dear Sir :
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Stud'v
Commission on Agricultural Waste, was enacted by the North Carolina General Assembly on
June 21, 1996. This bill requires that a certified operator be designated as the Operator in
Charge by January 1, 1997, for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or
more swine, 100 or more confined cattle, 75 or more horses, 1,000 or more sheep, or 30,000
or more confined poultry with a liquid animal waste management system. Our records indicate
that your facility is registered with the Division of Water Quality and meets the requirements
for designating an OIC.
A training and certification program is available for animal waste management system
operators. For information on the training programs please contact your local Cooperative
Extension Agent. Operator certifications are issued by the Water Pollution Control Systems
Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC). For information on the certification
process, please contact the Technical Assistance and Certification Group at [phone].
The type of training and certification required for the operator of each system is based on the
nature of the wastes to be treated and the treatment process(es) primarily used to treat the
animal waste. There are two types of animal waste management systems, Type A and Type
B. Type A animal waste management systems are generally used to treat waste generated by
monogastric animals which produce a low -fiber waste. Type B animal waste management
systems are generally used to treat waste generated by ruminants and other animals which
produce a high -fiber waste. The type of training and certification an operator receives should
correspond with the type of system(s) they intend to operate" For more information on the
classification of your system please contact the Technical Assistance and Certification Group.
As the owner of a registered animal operation with an animal waste management system, you
must designate an Operator in Charge and must submit the enclosed designation form to the
WPCSOCC. If you do not intend to operate your animal waste management system yourself,
you must designate an employee or engage a contract operator to be the Operator in Charge.
The person designated as the Operator in Charge, whether yourself or another person, must
possess a currently valid certificate of the appropriate type.
Sincerely,
I

Case #: OV 97-024
Dear Wendell Murphy:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and a notice of a civil penalty assessed against
Murphy Family Farms in the amount of $500.00. This assessment is based upon the following
facts:
Murphy Family Farms operates an animal operation and associated animal waste
management system in Duplin County.
As of January 1, 1997, in accordance with N.C.G.S. 90 A-47.2 and 15A NCAC 8F .0201
a certified operator in responsible charge is required to operate the subject animal waste
management system.
In accordance with 15A NCAC 817.0201(a), the owner of each animal operation having
an animal waste management system must submit a letter to the Certification Commission,
Division of Water Quality (DWQ), Technical Assistance and Certification Group, which
designates an Operator in Charge with the appropriate type of certification. This letter
must be signed by the owner and the certified operator and be submitted to the
Certification Commission by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date.
In November, 1996 and April, 1997, DWQ mailed notices to all animal waste management
facilities who had not designated an operator with the DWQ.
P.O. Box.29535, Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535 Telephone [phone] Fax [phone]
An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper

Murphy Family Farms failed to designate an appropriately certified wastewater treatment
operator in responsible charge of the subject animal waste management system, in
accordance with 15A NCAC 8F .0201(a).
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Murphy Family Farms
violated or failed to act in accordance with the requirements of N.C.G.S. 90 A-47.2 and 15A
NCAC 8F .0201. A civil penalty of not more than $1,000 per day maybe assessed against a
person who is required but fails to designate an appropriately certified wastewater treatment
operator as required by N.C.G.S. 90 A-47.5 and 15A NCAC 8F .0500.
Based upon the above facts and conclusions of law, I hereby assess Murphy Family Farms
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.
Please find attached another Operator in Charge designation form. Please complete this
form and return it to:
WPCSOCC
Division of Water Quality
P.O. Box 29535
Raleigh, NC 27626-0535
If the aforementioned operator designation form is not at the above address within 30 days
of your receipt of this notice, you will be subject to further civil penalties of up to $1,000 for each
day that the operator in charge designation is not submitted. You may contact DWQ's Training
and Certification Group at [phone] for information about designating a certified operator.
Within thirty days receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment
to the attention of:
Mr. Steve W. Tedder
Water Quality Section Chief
Division of Water Quality
P.O. Box 29535.
Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535
or
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed
justification for such request:
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the
reasonableness of the amount of the penalty and is not the proper procedure for
contesting the accuracy of any of the statements contained in the assessment letter.
Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such

a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation that there are no factual or legal issues in dispute. You
must execute and return to this office the attached waiver and stipulation form and a
detailed statement which you believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-282.1(b)
were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting
from the violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining
necessary remedial actions.

Dear Murphy Family Farms:
On August 13, 1997 Staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality,
inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. It was observed It was observed
that the coastal bermuda crop has been overgrown with weeds which makes keeping an accurate nitrogen
balance difficult.
USDA-NRCS guidelines require waste to be applied to the crops designated in the waste utilization
plan. These crops should have an established nitrogen fertilization rate based on the Realistic Yield
Expectation (R.Y.E) for the particular soil type. Because the freeboard in the lagoon is more than adequate,
a winter small grain cover crop should be planted in September and the coastal bermuda crop should be
cleared of weeds and resprigged the following spring. In addition, the walls of the lagoon should be mowed,
and an accurate map of the spray fields should be kept on site. We suggest that you contact your service
company, local NRCS or Soil and Water District office for any assistance they may be able to provide to
correct the situation.
To remain a deemed permitted facility, you must notify this office m writing within fourteen (14) 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, requiring it to obtain an individual non
discharge permit.

Type of production uhit----:Wean-Feeder

Type of waste facility ----- :Anaerobic Lagoon
Temporary storage period---: 180 days

Amount of plant available N produced by animals-: 1248 lbs./year
Commercial N to apply on planned acreage--------: 0 lbs./year
Your animal waste utilization plan has been specifically
developed for your swine operation. The plan is based on the
soil types, crops to be grown, and method of application for
your particular operation. The waste must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or ground
water. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to
reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops
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 and annual soil tests
are encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for
realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste
utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of
the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an
environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the
needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the
waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates and leaching potential. Waste shall not be applied to
land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. Do not
apply waste on saturated soils or on land when the surface is
frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to
surface waters. Wind conditions should also be considered to
avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value
of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential
for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or
not morn than 30 days prior to planting. soil incorporation
Of waste will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.

I understand that I must own or have access to equipment,
primarily irrigation equipment, to land apply the animal waste
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
certify that the waste will be applied on the land according to
this plan at the appropriate times and at rates that no runoff
occurs.
