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.

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.

waste management system in accordance with General Permit AWG 100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
and land application of animal waste as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management
Plan (CAWMP) for the E & B Farm # 4, located in Duplin County, with an animal capacity of no greater
than the following swine annual averages:
Wean to Finish: 0 Feeder to Finish: 1200 Boar/Stud: 0
Wean to Feeder: 0 Farrow to Wean: 0 Gilts: 0
Farrow to Finish: 0 Farrow to Feeder: 0
If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows.
Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows
may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009 and replaces the NP`DES
COC issued to this facility with an expiration date of July 1, 2007. You are required to continue
conducting annual surveys of sludge accumulation in all lagoons at your facility; the one-year extension
in Condition M. 19 does not. apply.
Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the
conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An
adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information
must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design
capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a
modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either
wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is
a package containing the new and revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please
careful attention to the record keepina and monitoring conditions in this pen -nit.

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
Yaws, rules,. standirds; and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.
Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking
J
,of the facility.
Per 15A NCAC 02T .0 111 (c) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance bouDdafy. Per NIRCS standards a 100-foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any wetted area of a
spray field.
Per 15A NCAC 02T .1306, any containment basin, such as a lagoon or waste storage structure, shall
continue to be subject to the conditions and requirements of the facility's permit until closed to NRCS
standards and the permit is rescinded by the Division.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief.

In accordance with your Notification of Change of Ownership received on December 28, 2000,
we are forwarding this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Charles and Edith Brinkley, and Steve
and Gayle English, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage
and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. This approval shall
consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste
from the E & B Farm # 4, located in Duplin County, with an animal capacity of no greater than 1200
Feeder to Finish and the application to land as specified in the Certified Animal Waste Management
Plan (CAWMP).
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until April 30, 2003, and shall hereby void
Certificate of Coverage Number AWS310519 dated May 24, 2000, and shall be subject to the conditions
and limitations as specified therein. 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, with no discharge of wastes to surface waters. An adequate system for
collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established
for this farm. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in
number of stocked animals above the number authorized by this COC will require a modification to the
CAWMP and this COC and shall be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or
number of animals.
The facility's CAWMP meets all requirements in place at the time of certification. However, it
appears that the irrigation system on site may not adequately cover all acreage listed in the Waste
0
Utilization Plan. The owner should address this inconsistency as soon as possible.

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."

The method of evaluation is the Phosphorous Loss Assessment Tool (PLAT) developed by NC State
University and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. PLAT addresses four potential loss
pathways: leaching, erosion, runoff and direct movement of waste over the surface, Each field must be
individually evaluated and rated as either low, medium, high or very high according to its Phosphorus
loss potential. The ratings for your farm must be reported to DWQ using the attached certification form.
The PLAT forms must be kept as 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:

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

Dear Mr. Stephen E. English:
On March 8, 2005, 1 performed an inspection of your animal operation and the animal waste
management system serving your op eration, I was unable to completely review the required records
and documents due to missing sections. No documented waste applications after August 7, 2005, crop
yield records, or recent freeboard readings could be found, Your NPDES Permit states in Condition
No. Ill. 10 that "All records required by this permit and the facility's CAWMP, including but not limited to
soil and waste analysis, rain gauge readings, freeboard levels, irrigation and land application
event(s),... shall be maintained by the Permittee in chronological and legible form for a minimum of five
(5) years. These records shall be maintained on forms provided or approved by the Division and be
readily available for inspection..." Since the inspection, I have called 910-285-3723 and left a message
requesting certain records to be sent to me. As of today, I have not received any records.
Also, the Division has not received an annual certification report for this Facility for the 2005
calendar year. The submission of the annual certification report is a requirement of your NPDES
Permit. Condition No. 111. 12 of your NPIDES Permit states in part "An annual certification report shall

(NPDES) General Permit
Dear Steve & Gayle English:
The Division of Water Quality (Division) has been required by1he U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) to develop a NPDES permit program for animal waste management systems.
The Division has developed a general NPDES permit similar to the state Non -Discharge
General Permit that this facility is currently permitted under. Pursuant to the requirements of
North Carolina General Statues §143-215.1, 40 Code of Federal Regulations §122-23, and the
Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency dated May 9, 1994, coverage under the General NPDES permit is required of all
facilities that have had a discharge of wastewater reaching Waters of the State.
According to our records your facility meets the requirement for an NPDES permit based on the
discharge criterion. Please sign and submit the enclosed NPDES Short Form B — Existing
Facility. Please carefully follow the instructions on the form.
Please submit completed enclosed application within 60 days from receipt of this letter. Failure
to submit the application as required may subject your facility to a civil penalty and other

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 n ' o factual or legal issues in dispute. You must execute and
return to this office the attached waiver 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. I (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.

Acting pursuant to delegation provided by the Secretary of the Department of
Environment and Natural Resources and the Director of the Division of Water Quality, 1, Jeffrey
0. 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. Steve & Gayle English violated Condition If. 4 of Swine Waste General Permit
AWG 100000 by causing ponding and runoff of animal waste.
D. 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

Dear Mr. and Mrs. English:
You were previously notified by letter dated May 7, 2003 of violations of North Carolina General Statute
143-215.1 and Swine Waste General Permit AWG 100000. This letter is being sent to notify you that the
animal waste ponding and runoff that was observed by staff during the March 28, 2003 investigation of
your facility is a violation of Condition Il. 4 of the General Permit that states "Land application rates shall
be in accordance with the CAWMP. In no case shall land application rates exceed the Plant Available
Nitrogen rate for the receiving crop or result in runoff during any given application." This violation was
not noted in the May 7, 2003 letter from this office, so it is appropriate that this letter be sent to notify you

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.
Finally, I would like to note that this is the first issue of this type that has come up on my farm.
E&B Farms is committed to operating our farm in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations. If
there are any further questions or concerns, please feel free to call me at (910) 285 3723.
Sincerely,
Steve English
Manager, E&B Farms

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.

Duplin County -
Dear Charles and Edith, Steve and Gayle Brinkley, English:
A letter dated Januwy 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal
Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. 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.

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.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Sonya Avant of our
Central Office staff at (919) 733-5083 ext. 571.

Dear Mr Hunkele,
A dd-i
As required by your agencies freeboard guidance document dated 1/31/2000, this letter is
intended to outline a plan of action aimed at lowering the lagoon level at the JT Brinkley
Farm to a level adequate for both structural stability and a 25 year, 24 hour stonn.
We have approximately 25 acres of wheat available for irrigation at this time. PAN
balances for the fields to be used show that we still have 25 - 50 % of our 120 lb. target
available. When field conditions improve, we will begin making frequent, light
applications to the wheat. If the current weather conditions continue, we should be able
to lower the lagoon level to below minimum requirements within 30 days through
irrigation.
If there are any questions or concerns, please call me at (910) 289 6439 ext. 4556 or John

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

Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or
Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for
assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to
applying the waste.
Narrative of operation: Lagoon retrofit completed Dec. '97. New lagoon changed from existing
lagoon. Irrigation will not occur from new lagoon until at least May or June. Field #2 was not
elanted Fall '97 because no irrigation water would be available to grow wheat crop. Crop
rotation shown will begin with the'98 soybean crop. Hard -hose traveller used for irrigation.

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application.
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an
agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of
an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing 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.

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.

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. Pumping shall be
managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to
mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds.
21 Waste shall be tested within 69 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually
at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining
element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites
shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.
22 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North -Carolina regulations.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 31-519
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. ER_Rl, IRR2, DRYI, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR], SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
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
DWQ staff at (919) 733-5083 ext. 571.

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.

System Calibration MAR 2 4 2000
Non-Disharge permitong
Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation
conditions with relatively new equipment. 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.

Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and.heavy metal con=t

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,

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. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for
I
ensurin- struct:ure safety. Items which mzy lead to lagoon f�Eures include:
C7
Modification of the lagoon s=cnn-t—,—an example is the plac=ent of a. pipe
in the dam without proper design and construcdon. (Consult. an ex -pert in
lagoon design before placing any pipes in dam .)
Laggoon liquid levels —high levels.are a safety fLsk.
Failure to inspect and maintain the darn.
Excess surface water flowinc, into the lagoon.
Liner integrity —protect- f�om inlet -pipe scouring, damage during sludge
removal, or rapture from lowering lagoon Houid level below groundwater
table. -
NOTE: Z lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving, water -AU s0oA Cause
Z;p
gulHes to form in the dam. Once this damage sta=, it can quickly cause a large cEschargze
of waste-x-ar—er and possible dam failure.

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 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.

This plan describes the closing pocedures for the above referenced farm. 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

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT VEJ
&M-MvIcer
FOUNDATION PREPARATION: MAR 2 4
The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be cIeareN00tjS*,9,,
trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush, boulders, sod, and rubbish. 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.

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.

The soil liner shall be protected from scour produced by the discharge from waste outlet
pipes. 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.

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.

3. 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. The Department of Environment,
Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality, has the responsiblilty for
enforcing this law,

Emergency Action Plan
Using this outline as guidance, you should develop a specific emergency action plan for your
waste handling system.. 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

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.

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.
Sincerely yours,
John Bizic
Land and Nutrient Manager

Dear Farm Owner:
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study
Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly,
requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more
swine by January 1, 1997. The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a
designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which design i ates an
Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be
submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a
certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H
.0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty.
If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please
contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office.
Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for
the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this requirement please
call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt of our staff at91gn33-0026.
