BOX 856 Warsaw, NC 28398 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN - Grower(s): Farm Name: Steve English E & B Farm #4 Farrow to Wean Farrow to Feeder Farrow to Finish Wean to Feeder Feeder to Finish 1200 Storaae Structure: Anaerobic I Storage Period: Application Method: >1 80 days Irrigation .agoon Facility 31-619 MOIL,T gNR I The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water andlor groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste Is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have 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 DWO regulations. 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. 1 of 11 yj� AV" C W '01 A J'2 ;Sol - m 17 A, 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 neaded 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 ana"s content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH In the optimum range for specific crop production. TNs waste utilization plan, if carded out, meets the requirements for compliance with I 6A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Ross Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director Division of Water Quality Subject: Notification for Phosphorus Loss Assessment E&B Farm#4 Permit Number NCA231519 Facility 31-519 Duplin County The Division's records show that a completed PLAT Form has NOT been submitted for this facility. A notification that this was required was mailed previously by certified mail with return receipt requested but verification of receipt has not been documented. If our records are in error and this facility has completed the PLAT assessment, please resubmit the completed PLAT Form for this farm. 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 deten-nine how much phosphorus was being lost from different fields. Instructions on how to comply with this requirement are provided below. In accordance with your NPDES Permit Number NCA231519 Condition 1.6, your facility must now conduct a Phosphorus Loss Assessment. Condition 1.6 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 1he 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 t ' o 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 (�crtificate 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."

PLAT addresses four potential loss pathways: leaching, erosion, runoff and direct movement of waste over the surface, Each field must be individually evaluated and rated as either low, medium, high or very high according to its Phosphorus loss potential. The ratings for your farm must be reported to DWQ using the attached certification form. The PLAT forms must be kept as record9 on your farm for future reference. 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 Water Conservation District may be able to provide assistance. This information on the attached formi(s) must be submitted within 180 days of receipt of this letter to: Duane Leith 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 possible, 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 pen-nitting requirement, If you have any questions regarding this request, please do not hesitate to contact me at duane.leith@ncmail.net or by phone (919) 715-6186 or contact the Wilmington Regional Office at (9 10)- 796-7215.

Poupart, Supervisor of the Non -Discharge Compliance and Enforcement Unit of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ), make the following: I. FINDINGS OF FACT: A. Steve & Gayle English own and operate the E & B Farm # 4, a swine animal operation along State Road 1162 in Duplin County. B. Steve & Gayle English were issued Certificate of Coverage AWS310519 under 4:1 Swine Waste General Pen -nit AWG100000 issued pursuant to North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 January 26, 2001, effective on January 26, 2001, with an expiration date of April 30, 2003 for the operation of an. animal waste collection, treatment, storage and application system. C. Condition H. 4 of the Permit states "Land application rates shall be in accordance with the CAWMP. Ili no case shall land application rates exceed the Plant Available Nitrogen rate for the receiving crop or result in runoff during any given application." D. Condition V. 3 of the Permit states in part "At a minimum, maximum waste level for lagoons/storage ponds must not exceed the level that provides adequate storage to contain the 25-year, 24-hour Storm event plus an additional I foot of C� structural freeboard." E. Condition 11[1. 6 of the Permit states in part "The Permittee shall report by telephone to the appropriate Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of the occurrence of the failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage greater than or equal to that required in Condition V (3) of this General Permit." F. On March 25, 2003, a citizen flyover revealed ponding of animal waste at the E & B Farm # 4. On March 28, 2003, Division staff performed an investigation and observed ponded animal waste and that animal waste runoff from an application field of the E & B Farm # 4 had discharged into an unnamed tributary of Island Creek. Island Creek is class C Sw waters of the State within the Cape Fear River basin. During the March 28, 2003 inspection, Mr. English told staff that the lagoon level had been such that there was sixteen inches of freeboard within the past couple of weeks. The Regional office was not notified by telephone within 24 hours following first knowledge of the lagoon storage violation. G. Steve & Gayle English had no valid permit for the above described activities. H. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $336.70. Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following: ii. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: A. Steve & Gayle English is a "person" within the meaning of G.S. 143-215.6A pursuant to G.S. 143-212(4). B. A permit for an animal waste management system is required by G.S. 143-215. 1. C.

The unnamed tributary to Island Creek and Island Creek are waters of the State within the meaning qf G-S - 143-215. 1 (a)(1) pursuant to G.S. 143-212(6). E. The above -cited discharge constitutes making an outlet into waters of the State for purposes of G.S. 143-215.1(a)(1), for which a permit is required by G.S. 143- 215.1. F. Steve & Gayle English violated Condition V. 3 of the General Permit by failing to maintain adequate storage in the lagoon to contain the 25-year, 24-hour storm I event plus an additional I foot of structural freeboard. G. Steve & Gayle English violated Condition M. 6 of the General Permit by failing to report by telephone to the appropriate Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of the occurrence of the failure to maintain storage capacity in the lagoon greater than or equal to that required in Condition V. 3 of the General Permit. H. Steve & Gayle English may be assessed civil penalties in this matter pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2) that provides that a civil penalty of not more than twenty- five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) per violation may be assessed against a person who is required but fails to apply for or to secure a permit required by G.S. 143- 215.1, or who violates or fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of such permit. I. The State's enforcement costs in this matter may be assessed against Steve & Gayle English pursuant to G.S. 143-215.3(a)(9) and G.S. 143B-282. I (b)(8), J. The Super -visor of the Non -Discharge Compliance and Enforcement Unit, Division of Water Quality, pursuant to delegation provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Director of the Division of Water Quality, has the authority to assess civil penalties in this matter.

Le�f N&AC 2�H 0805 (a) �DM," 31 - SICI May 14, 2003 N,C. Division of Water Quality Wilmington Regional Office Attn. Rick Shiver 127 Cardinal Drive Extension Wilm�ington, NC 28405 Mr. Shiver, This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation (NOV) issued by your office to E&B Farms #4 on May 7, 2003, Your letter references an event that took place on March 28, 2003, during which animal waste from this farm was discovered in an unnamed tributary of Island Creek. As the Operator in Charge for this farm, I take full responsibility for the unfortunate events that occurred, and appreciate the opportunity to explain what happened to cause the discharge, as well as actions taken to insure that it doesn't occur again in the future. On the day in question, Mr. Stoney Matthis visited E&B Farm #4 in response to a citizen fly over that showed ponding of wastewater on one of the application fields. Waste had been applied to the field in question for about 4 hours on March 25, 2003. On the 26h, it was determined that the fields were too wet to irrigate, and the equipment was moved to E&B 1-3. When Mr. Matthis inspected on the 28,h, some of the ponding in question was still present in the spray field. This ponding was pumped back into the lagoon. In addition, a small area of ponded wastewater was discovered in a swampy area adjacent to the field. This material was also returned to the lagoon. There is no indication that any of this wastewater left the swampy area, or made it to any flowing watercourse. While this event was unfortunate, I feel that our immediate response to the situation mitigated any serious environmental damage that might have occurred. I would also like to thank Mr. Matthis for his help in directing these activities. In response to this event, we have changed our standard operating procedure with regards to the travel speed of our reels during irrigation events. I have consulted an irrigation specialist and have received instruction as to alternative nozzle sizes and travel speeds that will reduce the application rate and application amounts of my system. In the ftiture, I will adjust travel speed and nozzle size according to soil conditions to prevent this type of thing from re -occurring. Also, the area in which the ponding occurred will be evaluated more closely in the future before application events occur. Also noted in the NOV is the failure to call in a freeboard level of 16". As you are aware, above average rainfall during the fall and winter months provided challenges in managing lagoon levels. I was aware of the requirement to notify your office in the event of a freeboard issue, however, given the small size of the lagoon in question, and the fact that I knew it could be lowered with only a few hours of irrigation, I did not call. My main concern was to safely lower the fteeboard level. I will, however, make sure that I notify your office in the future if this freeboard situation happens again.

Box 67 Teachey, NC 28464 Subject: Notice of Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement E & B Farm # 4 Facility Number: 3 1-519 Duplin County Dear Mr. and Mrs. English: This is to notify you of violations of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and Swine Waste General Permit AWG 100000. On March 25, 2003, a citizen flyover revealed violations at your facility. On March 28, 2003, Division staff performed an investigation and observed that animal waste runoff from an application field of your facility had discharged into an unnamed tributary of Island Creek. Island Creek is class C Sw waters of the State within the Cape Fear River basin. This is a violation of N.C.G.S. 143-215.1 that requires that no person shall make an outlet into the waters of the State without having obtained and abided by the appropriate permit. During the March 28, 2003 inspection, Mr. English told staff that the lagoon level had been such that there was sixteen inches of freeboard within the past couple of weeks. This is a violation of Condition V. 3 of the General Permit that states in part "At a minimum, maximum waste level for lagoons/storage ponds must not exceed the level that provides adequate storage to contain the 25-year, 24-hour.storm event plus an additional I foot of structural freeboard," Also, the Regional office was not notified by telephone within 24 hours following first knowledge of the lagoon storage violation referenced above. This is a violation of Condition Ill. 6 of the General Permit that states in part "The Permittee shall report by telephone to the appropriate Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of the occurrence of the failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage greater than or equal to that required in Condition V (3) of this General Permit." In response to these violations, a written response must be submitted to this office that includes: a. An explanation of the violations. b. A description of the actions taken to stop the violations and to prevent their recurrence, C. A list showing the dates for the accomplishment of these actions. N. C.

Only the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your plan. An evaluation by Dean Hunkele on 11/16/99- was made to review the actual number of acres at your facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X". Category 1: The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Dean Hunkele the necessary information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre determination. Please submit this information to Dean Hunkele, at 127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, NC 28405-3845, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any questions please contact Dean Hunkele at (910) 395-3900. If within 90 days you are unable to provide Dean Hunkele with the information you are automatically required to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2 below, within 180 days of receipt of this letter. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone 919-733-5083 Fax 919-715-6048 An Equal Opportunity Affirnative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Notification for Wettable Acre Determination Animal Waste Management System Page 2 1 Category 2: Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination 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 Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service, the Soil 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. All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWO within the next 180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the required time, DWO will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation, and/or injunctive relief. Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan must be kept at your facility. DWO and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification. 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 pem-dtting requirement.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.' The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him1her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, qr)d level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients, 4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strip). 5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservatiGn tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) 7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. 8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. Page 5 E �Ul L 12-,�T I G �NM REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 9 Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10 Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall -hot be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways, 15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetiands by discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site,by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that courses 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. Page 6 1�1_221;21&01110M MIN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 17 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. 18 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. 19 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 propellant with no further applications animal waste during the crop season. 20 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations,. -of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons.

U.7 '41 w LAGOON CLOSURE PLAN JT BRINKLEY FARM DUPLIN COUNTY The JT Brinkley Farm is a 1200 hd. finishing farm owned by Quarter M Farms.. it is located on SRI 162 near Charity in Duplin County. The lagoon on this farm was recently retrofitted and the existing lagoon abandoned due to lack of storage volume, The existing lagoon will require some degree of sludge removal before it can be properly closed out. The existing lagoon was pumped down to the sludge level to pre -charge the new lagoon, and all inlets for rainwater were closed. This gives the existing lagoon in excess of 180 days storage. The plan is to close these old lagoon by May of 1998. Specific crop fields for sludge application have been identified and the closure will proceed as they become available, All NRCS recomendations regarding lagoon closures will be followed and DEM will be notified when the closure process begins.

Discharge rates and application rates change overtime 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 subsequeady 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. Pluggeit 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 pro ' per application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measur.ihg fflow at several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to collecr flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because they already have a graduazed 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 liqyid colleczed can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring. For stanionary sprinklers, collection containers. should be located randomly throughour the application area at several distances from sprinklera. For traveling guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both sides of the gun carr. You should compute the average application rate for all nonuniformity of the application. On a windless- day, variation between containers of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation dealer or technical specialist- for assistance.

The application of the sludge to fields will- be limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste aimlicarions to that field and crop requirement- Waste application rams wUl be discussed in demil in Chapter 3. When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage.

If the ae.- is darnage-d it must be repaired as soon as possible. Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and.heavy metal con=t th= liquid- Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus and metal leveis, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of erosion. Note that if the sludce is ap M ores, . plied to fir -Ids with very high soil -test pho . h it should be appiied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with oth=- wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value. The a�pplicadon of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application sit -- Extra Precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which could increase the concern of neiahbors. Possible Causes of Laggoon Failure Lagoon Lailures -result in the uuplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types of failures include leakage through the bot:torn or sides, over pping, and breach of the dam.

It is located on SRI 162 near Charity in Duplin County. The lagoon on tl�s farm was recently retrofitted and the existing lagoon abandoned due to lack of storage volume. The existing lagoon will require some degree of sludge removal before it can be properly closed out. The existing lagoon was pumped down to the sludge level to pre -charge the new lagoon, and all inlets for rainwater were closed. This gives the existing lagoon in excess of 180 days storage. The plan is to close these old lagoon by May of 1998. Specific crop fields for sludge application have been identified and the closure will proceed as they become available. M NRCS recomendations regarding lagoon closures will be followed and DEM will be notified when the closure process begins. .A,ninaal Waste Storage Pond aind Lagoon Closure Report For in acc r quis: a sicn.1CL:r'.)

The following closure procedures will be followed in accordance with the current NRCS standards. 1 . All existing pipes that were used to discharge waste from the buildings to the lacroon shall be capped or removed to eliminate fresh water entry from the buildings. 2. All effluent and sludge shall be pumped from the lagoon and shall be land applied to crops at agronomic rates based on realistic yield expectations for nitrogen. The effluent and s4udge shall be analyzed for nitrogen content prior to application. During the removal process, all sludge remaining on the side slopes shall be washed down and agitated in with the bottom sludge and land applied. There shall be one foot or less of sludge remaining in the lagoon upon completion. Satisfactory removal of the sludge shall be determined by visual inspection. Any foreign material other than waste found in the lagoon shall be properly disposed of in a permitted landfill facility. Such material cannot be buried on -the farm as this practice constitutes the operation of an unpermitted landfill. 4. Any electrical services or devices such as recycle pumps, etc. around the lagoon which will no longer be needed shall be disconnected at the power source and removed. 5. Upon completion of the removal procedures outlined above, the lagoon may be a) filled in with soil b) left intact and allowed to fill with fresh water for use as a fresh water pond c) breached so that it will no longer impound liquid If left for use as a pond, the requirements of Conservation Practice Standard 378 (Ponds) shall be met.If the lagoon embankment is breached, the slopes and bottom of the breach shall be stable for the soil material involved, but the side slopes shall be no greater than 3: 6. All disturbed areas shall be fertilized, seeded and mulched before the lagoon closure can be certified. eff I Esti-mated amount of effluent/sludge: Total amount of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN):_ Effluent/sludge analysis:_ (11 N I n C� 4= I-N .Lne IUIIUWUlg dUECa-e Mdy UC USt;U JUE IUUU UPPLIQULIVII UdbULL U11 UIU L;IUIJ W UU 'V'LVWL1. —Tract/Field Crop tbs.

Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoil from the lagoon and 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 earthfil I 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 material may 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 haull�ng and spreading equipment or standard tamping roller or equivalent method. Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectable. 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 with an impoundment capacity of 10 acre—feet or more fall under the jurisdiction of the NC Dam Safety Law and require permitting by the NC Dept. of Environment, Health and Natural Resources, Land Quality Section. 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 CLAY LINER THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.5 FT. NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN INDICATED ON THE DRAWINGS OR WHEN MATERIAL IS ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION THAT WILL NOT PROVIDE THE PERMEABILITY LIMITS AS STATED LATER IN THIS SECTION. SUCH MATERIAL IS CONSIDERED UNSUITABLE WITH RESPECT TO LINING. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER IS INCLUDED IN THE DRAWINGS WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED. Muiphy Family Farms Engineering P. 0.

BOX 759 CHECKED BY: JES ROSE HILL, NC DATE: 11/07/97 COUNTY: DUPLIN SHEET 2 OF 3 When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be overexcavated 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 material approved by the engineer or his representative. REFER TO THE DRAWINGS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS. Sail liner material shall come from an approved borrow area. The minimum moisture content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture content Which relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneaded 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 moisture content during placement. The maximum moisture 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 95 percent of the Standard Proctor Maximum Dry Density (ASTM D698) of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous lift shall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement of the next lift The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted permeability of aplay liner, other than the type of clay used for the liner, is the efficient construction proc"essing of the compacted liner. The sequence of equipment in an established pattern helps assure uniformity in the entire placement and compaction process. For most clay soils, a tamping or sheepsfoot roller is the preferred type of compaction equipment. In accordance with NRCS South National Technical Center (SNTC) Technical Note 716 (revised September ' 1993) the maximum allowable specific discharge of the liner is 1.0 x 10-5 cm/sec. This specific discharge is dependant on the permeability of the liner material, the liner thickness, and the hydrostatic pressure on the liner. With the minimum required liner thickness stated earlier and the maximum liquid depth in the lagoon, the maximum permeability of the compacted liner is 1.25 x 10-6 cm/sec, Upor completion of the liner, undisturbed samples will be taken and tested for actual permeability. Any permeability tests indicating a higher permeability than stated above will be considered as failing, Failing tests will require recompaction of the liner material and retesting. For lagoons being built in soils which do not require clay lining the same permeability requirements apply as for clay liners and testing of the in —situ material will be conducted. During the excavation process, soils at the excavated surface are loosened as adjacent material is being removed. As a result, the permeability of these surface soils is increased. To insure proper compaction and minimum soil permeability, when lagoon excavation is complete the inner side slopes and bottom shall be rolled thoroughly prior to testing.

This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator: concrete flumes, concrete blocks laid tightly together, or using flexible pipe 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 Specifflication or are shown on the drawings. CUTOFFTRENCH: A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when called for in the notes on the drawings or as shown on a typical cross section on the drawings. The final dimensions of the cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation materials during construction. VEGETATION:. All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construction according to the seeding specifications. Topsoil, if available on site should be placed on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch shall be used if recommend�d 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: An observation trench shall be dug along the perimeter of the lagoon 25 feet outside the proposed embankment toe to verify that no subsurface drain tile lines are present in the lagoon area. The trench shall be dug to a minimum depth of five feet and shall have a width adequate to accommodate equipment used for backfill and compaction. Trench side slopes shall be 1:1 or flatter. Trench backfill shall be compacted as stated in the EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT section of the specification. When tile drains are encountered, the tile will be removed to a minimum of 25 feet beyond the outside toe of slope of the dike. The tile trench shall be backfilled and compacted with material approved by the engineer or his representative, Tile drains that are not removed shall be either capped off or rerouted around the lagoon, as directed by the engineer or his representative. SAFETY AND HEALTH REQUIREMENTS: All operations shall be carried out in a safe, skillful, and workmanlike manner. All safety and health regulations shall be observed and appropriate personal safety and health measures used at all times during construction. Murphy Family Farms Engineering P. 0.

BOX 759 CHECKED BY: JES 0 ROSE HILL, NC DATE: 11/07197 COUNTY: DUPLIN 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 of temporary storage for: (1) manure production of animals, (2) excess fresh water storage, (3) rainfall in excess of evaporation, (4) storage for the 25 year / 24 hour storm for the location, (5) and, if applicable, an additional "heavy rain" storage volume for chronic rainfall events. Allocation for any additional fresh water usage is also included in the temporary storage. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the 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 staff gauge must be installed in the,lagoon that indicates the start pumping and stop pumping levels. The start pumping level is the maxiurn liquid level under normal operating conditions. The stop pumping level is the minimum liquid level under normal operation to maintain required treatment volume and depth. Pumping can be started and stopped anywhere 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. However, it is recommended that the lagoon be kept pumped down as much as possible. Land application of wastewater is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling guns. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops or runoff to surface waters. The following items are to be carried out-. 1. It is required that the treatment lagoon be precharged to one—half the treatent volume or as otherwise specified on the lagoon design drawings before wastes are introduced, The purpose is to prevent excessive odors during start—up. Precharging 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. The plan recommends sampling and testing of waste before land application. Murphy Family Farms Engineering P. 0. Sox 759, Rose Hill AtC 284,58 (910) 289-2111 GR ' OWE�: J.T.

Begin temporary storage pump —out of the lagoon when the fluid level reaches the elevation 104.60 as marked by the staff gauge. Stop pump —out when the fluid level reaches elevation 101.90. This temporary storage, less 25 year / 24 hour storm, contains 100537 cubic feet or 752020 gallons. 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) 'inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 inches 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 or damaged areas 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 such that waste will not reach other property or public rights —of —way. 9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. Waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by either discharge or by over —spraying.

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking, overflowing, or running off the site. You should NOT wait until wastes reach surface water 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 available to all employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and breaks could happen at any time. Your plan should follow this format: 1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested responses to problems are listed below: A. Lagoon overflow— possible solutions are: add soil to berm to temporarily increase elevation of dam —any permanent alteration of the dam should be approved by a qualified professional engineer or qualified technical specialist pump wastes to field at an acceptable rate stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waters) --hold waste in house if possible call a pumping contractor make sure no surface water is entering lagoon NOTE: The above listed activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the temporary storage level. B. Runoff from waste application field —actions include: immediately stop waste application create a temporary diversion or berm to contain'the waste on the field incorporate waste to reduce further runoff C, Leakage from the waste distribution system: pipes and sprinklers— actions include: — stop recycle (flushing system) pump — stop irrigation pump — close valves to eliminate further discharge — separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow flush system, houses, solids separators— actions include: — stop recycle (flushing system) pump — stop irrigation pump — make sure no siphon effect has been created — separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow D. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon, Often these are seepage as opposed to flowing leaks —possible action*: dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage; put in a submersible pump, and pump back into lagoon if holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a clayey soil other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil Murphy Family Farms Engineering P.O.

LAGOON CLOSURE PLAN JT BRINKLEIr FARM DUPLIN COUNTY The JT Brinkley Farm is a 1200 hd. finishing farm oNNmed by Quarter M Farms.. It is located on SRI 162 near Charity in Duplin County. The lagoon on this farm was recently retrofitted and the existing lagoon abandoned due to lack of storage volume, The existing lagoon will require some degree of sludge removal before it can be properly closed out. The existing lagoon was pumped down to the sludge level to pre -charge the new lagoon, and all inlets for rainwater were closed. This gives the existing lagoon in excess of ISO days storacye, The plan is to close these old lagoon by May of 1998. Specific crop fields for sludge application have been identified and the closure will proceed as they become available. All NRCS recomendations regarding lagoon closures will be followed and DEM will be notified when the closure process begrins.

Andy Helminger NCDEHNR Division of Water Quality 127 Cardinal Drive Extension Wilmington, NC 28405-3845 Dear Mr. Helminger: PLE: Notice of Deficiency at J. T. Brinkley Farm Facility #31-519 During your inspection on August 1, 1997, you noted that appropriate cover crops were not planted to receive animal manure. Rye had been planted last fall but was not followed by another crop, due to the fact that the farm was empty during the winter and spring and still may be permanently closed. However, for this year irrigation will be delayed until the field in question is disked and seeded in rye. This will be done by September 15th. Also additional fields row cropped by a neighbor will be irrigated this fall. If this farm stays open in 1998, a rotation of mfflet+rye will be planted in the original field in question. If you have any questions, please call John Bizic or Kraig Westerbeek at 289-6439.
