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 theyhave 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 carved out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H:0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Page 4 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 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, helshe shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 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, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strip). 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 conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) 7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. 8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. Page 5 1240-46. f S 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 not 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 wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste 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 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced as necessary to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as tree% shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. 18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19 Waste handling structures, piping pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption It should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications animal waste during the crop season. 21 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining 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. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. 23 Page 7 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEMENT Name of Farm: K-6 Sow Owner / Manager Agreement (we) understand and will follow and implement the specifications and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above.

Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit. In accordance with your application received on March 13, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Craig King, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS710056 which expired on April 30, 2003. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management ...of animal-waste,-from-the-Watha. Farm- K-6, . located -in Pender County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 1248 Farrow to Wean swine and the application to land as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 1, 2004. Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals. If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed. The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.

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 151, NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Narrative of operation. _ cres shown are 'wetted' acres This plan is based on a corn/small grain(hay)/soybean rotation. Cotton may be substituted for corn or soybeans in the rotation as long as the following rates and application times are used: Cotton 84 Ibs PAN / Acre April - August The substitution of cotton for corn or soybeans in any or all of the fields will still result in a deficit amount of PAN in this plan. Small Grain must be cut for hay or silage and must be harvested by April 7th of each year. Page 4 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN.{ - REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 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 him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 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, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strip). 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 conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) 7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. 8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.

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 not 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. 1 ; Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist'. Animal waste 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 WASTE UTILIZAT]ON _ = _ - REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced as necessary to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. 18 if animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19 Waste handling structures, piping pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications animal waste during the crop season. 21 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining 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. 23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Easley Governor William G. Ross Jr., Secretary Department of Environment and Natural Resources Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director Division of Water Quality On April 11, 2003, a representative of your animal operation informed the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) that there was inadequate freeboard in the lagoon(s) serving this facility. This lack of adequate freeboard is in non-compliance with the Certificate of Coverage issued to this facility on August 21, 1998. In addition to this Notice of Violation (NOV), this non-compliance is subject to an appropriate enforcement action by DWQ. This action can consist of one or more of the following: a civil or criminal enforcement action; an injunction; and/or a requirement to apply for coverage under an individual permit.

Everett, Director of the Division of Environmental Management, make the following: I. FINDINGS OF FACT: A. King Farms is located along NCSR 1318, approximately one-half mile east of US Highway 117, near Burgaw, Pender County, North Carolina. Approximately 3600 hogs, including 600 mature sows, are confined in six enclosed houses with slotted floors. Wastewater from the houses is collected in two single cell lagoons. Urine and solid wastes are washed down the slotted floors and discharged via a PVC pipe into a lagoon. B. On October 26, 1987, staff of the Wilmington Regional Office (WIRO) responded to a complaint at this facility. At this time, a 10"-12" concrete pipe was discharging wastewater from one of the hog houses into a ditch. Water from an open pit used to bury dead hogs was also being discharged into a ditch. There had been no rain during the month of October 1987 and the rear lagoon was within one foot of overflowing. It was recommended to Mr. Bud Newkirk, General Manager, that the concrete pipe and the burial pit be sealed. As a result of this investigation, King Hog Farm on NCSR 1318 was designated a concentrated animal feeding operation by letter dated December 30, 1987. In part the letter states, "If the discharge of waste to the surface waters of the State is not permanently eliminated within sixty (60) days of receipt of this notice an NPDES permit application must be submitted within that time." C. On March 28, 1989, staff of WIRO investigated the second complaint of this facility. During the investigation an unpermitted discharge was found which originated from a watering trough. A 2" PVC pipe from this watering trough was discharging feed, saliva, solids and water into a -2- man-made ditch which drained into an unnamed tributary to the Northeast Cape Fear River. Fecal coliform levels in this discharge were 36,000 colonies/100ml. The spray irrigation field used to dispose of wastewater from the lagoons was ponding and runoff from the field was entering a ditch which flows to an unnamed tributary to the Northeast Cape Fear River. Mr. Newkirk was served a Notice of Violation Citation #012069 during the investigation. D. On April 6, 1989, a Notice of Violation (NOV) was sent to Mr. Craig King by certified mail, relative to the 3/28/89 inspection. The violations noted therein were as follows: 1. An unpermitted discharge which originated from the watering trough containing feed, saliva, solids and water was routed into a ditch, which drains into an unnamed tributary to the Northeast Cape Fear River. 2. .The spray irrigation field was ponding and surface runoff had entered the ditch at the rear of the field. E. The April 6, 1989 NOV specified that the following corrective actions be taken: 1. Permanently remove the 2" diameter PVC pipe discharging wastewater to the ditch. 2. Seal the end of the ditch and backf ill the ditch with fresh soil. 3. Construct an earthen berm to surround the spray irrigation field sufficient to prevent runoff from the field from entering the ditch or leaving the site. 4. Application rates for spraying should be modified so that several applications are made per week rather than over dosing the field in 1 day. F. On January 24, 1990, Mr. Jim Gregson and Mr. Mike Williams of WIRO visited the hog farm as a result of a complaint. The complainant indicated that wastes from the operation were ponding on a spray irrigation field and surface runoff was entering a ditch. Mr. Bud Newkirk, General Manager of the hog farm, was present during the investigation. Mr. Newkirk was informed of the nature of the complaint. The inspection of the operation revealed that the spray irrigation field was ponding and discharging to a ditch around the perimeter of the field, which drains to a tributary of the Northeast Cape Fear River. Evidence of a ruptured pipe was also found which (according to Mr. Newkirk) allowed waste to be discharged into this same ditch system. This discharge was not reported to the Division. Samples collected in the ditch downstream of the hog farm revealed fecal coliform levels of 85,000 colonies/100ml, 212 -3- times the State standard, and a dissolved oxygen value of 1.8 mg/l. G. On February 9, 1990, a NOV was sent to Mr. Craig King by certified mail, relative to the January 24, 1990 inspection. The violation noted therein were as follows: 1. The spray irrigation field was ponding on the site and surface runoff was entering a ditch at the southern and eastern ends of the field which drains into an unnamed tributary to the Northeast Cape Fear River. 2. Evidence of a ruptured pipe was found which allowed wastewater to be discharged into this same ditch system. The discharge was not reported to the Division. 3. _Fecal coliform levels in the ditch downstream of the spray fields were 85,000 colonies/100ml, 212 times the State standard for Class C waters. H. The February 9, 1990 NOV specified that the following corrective actions be taken: 1. Eliminate the discharge of hog waste to the surface waters of the State. This may require that additional land be obtained for spray irrigation. 2. Construct an earthen berm around the present spray fields to prevent surface runoff from entering adjacent ditches. 3. Separate pumps may be needed for spray irrigation and recirculation of wastewater for washdown to insure that spray heads receive adequate pressure for normal operation during recirculation. 4. Any future discharges, including discharges due to accidental line breaks must be reported to this office. I. Staff costs and expenses associated with detecting the violations, defining their nature and extent and bringing the enforcement action totalled $698.12. Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following: II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: A. Mr. Craig King is a "person" within the meaning of G.S. 143-215.6 pursuant to G.S. 143-212(4). -4 - B.

All of our employees have been informed by me to notify me if there are any spills and let me contact DWQ so I can furnish facility numbers and any other information needed. I was away on business when this incident occurred and by the time I was made aware of the incident, DWQ was already.on the farm.

The elevations were between the 23-inch and 25-inch marks on the level indicator. This level indicator is a gauge that rncasures the remaining available storage in the lagoon. Thor: fore the level at the 23-inch mark is hislzer than the level at the 25-inch marl-. Actual field ineasurtments were taken on the length and width of the lagoon. I also -shot elevations on the top of the dire and the lagoon level. The level on February 73'shed the 217-inch mark on the level indicator. In additiorn, the sides slopes were determined to be between a 3:1 and This information was compared to the original design plans and found to be consistent. f have enclosed calculation sheets from a design spreadsheet that takes into account the actual volumes of the lagoon ai the 23-inch indicator level and the 25-inch indicator level. It uses a 2.5;1 side slope. which if anything will calculate a slightly larber volume than the 3.1 side slope. As a result, I conclude that The total volume is 3:215 cubic feet or 68.928 vallons.

Cardinal Drive Wilmington, NC 28405 Dear Mr. Shiver, On February 15, 2000 there was a spill at our K6 sow farm in Pender County. A flush tank malfunctioned and ran water onto the ground. The spill was discovered between 7:30 - 8:00 am by Billy Wood who immediately called my.son Buddy King. Buddy drove to the farm, assessed the situation and corrected the problem. He repaired the flush tank, stopping the flow of water and causing it to operate properly. All of the switches and float valve have been replaced and the flush tank is completely repaired. I hired Floyd Adams, an engineer with the Adams Cbmpany,-=to determine the volume of wastewater spilled. His report is attached to this letter. I also contacted North Carolina Pork Council in Raleigh at which time Ms. Beth Ann Mumford sent press releases to all three news- papers in Pender County concerning the spill. Apologetically, I failed to get the letter sent in to DWQ within the five day period. King Farms has tried extremely hard to be good stewards of our environment. I assure you we are doing everything we can to remain in compliance with all rules and regulations concerning spray fields. Our lagoon levels and flush tanks are checked daily and when irrigating, someone is watching constantly. We apologize to DWQ and the people of Pender County for this mishap.

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. HRRl, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLURI, 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. Sincerely, Kerr T.

These rates are based on soil types of the land to be irrigated, the RYE's of the soil, and the PAN required to efficiently grow the (crops in the fields where waste is applied. This Nutrient Management Plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are required so that all plant nutrient requirements can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in Implementing this plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Factors included are: a. Always apply waste based on crop needs and the nutrient content of the waste. b. Do not over apply nitrogen. c. Soil types are important because of different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and water holding capacities. d. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the ground is frozen either of which could lead to surface runoff. e. Consider wind conditions to avoid drift and down wind odor problems. f. Waste can only be applied to actively growing crops or not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or to forages breaking dormancy. This plan is based on waste being applied using irrigation. If the application method is changed, this plan will have to be revised because nutrient content varies depending on how it is applied. The estimated acres needed to apply the waste as described above is based on average analyses for this type facility. Actual acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your facility. This nutrient management plan, if followed, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 21-11.0217 as adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

This accounts for required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the field are most likely more than those shown in table 2. The nitrogen balance shown in table 2 should be equal to or less than 0 to fully utilize the nutrients produced by the swine production on this farm. To produce crops at the RYE's shown may require the use of commercial fertilizer to balance fertilization rates in crop rotations. This farm is producing 6,750.00 lbs. of nitrogen per year In the waste water and an additional 1,050.00 lbs. of nitrogen accumulates annually as sludge. To land apply the liquid portion in an acceptable manner requires the irrigation system to pump and spread 4,003,750.00 total gallons annually. This involves spreading 147.45 acre -inches per year over the farms 60.40 total acres, or an average of 2.44 inches is to be applied, on average, to each acre irrigated.

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 waters or leave your property to consider that you have a problem: 'You should make every effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be 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 technical specialist pump wastes to field at an acceptable rate stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waterers) —hold waste in house if possible call a pumping contractor make sure no surface water is entering lagoon NOTE: These 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 clay type soil other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil 'Lagoon problems require the consultation of an individual experienced in the design and installation of lagoons for permanent repair measures. 2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages. a. Did the waste reach any surface waters? b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration? C. Any damage notes, such as employee injury,fish kills, or property damage? 3. Contact appropriate agencies. a. During normal business hours, call your DEM regional office, at 910-395-3900, after hours, emergency number: 919-733-3942.

The t i me requ i red f or- the p I anned f l u i d I eve too be reached (permanent + temporary storage) may vary due to flushing operations and the arnount of fresh water- to he added to the system. The designed 6 months temporary storage j s an estimated volume teased on : 1) waste from animals; Z) excess rainfal I after evaporation; and 3) the largest 24 hour (cane day) ra i nfa I I that occurs on the average cif once every Z5 years. The volume of waste generated from a giver, number- of animals wi l I be fairly constant throughout the year and fr-_-rn year to year. TV, i s estimate is bused on 7 inches of excess rainfal I which, is equal tco or- exceeds the highest 6 months excess in a year. The average annual excess rainfal I is approximately 8 inches. Therefore, an average of S inches of excess rainfal I wi I I need to be pumped each year-. The 254 year rainfal I wi I I not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping 'cyc I e, but this storage vc I urne must always be available. A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually the cutlet •invert of pipes) from bui Idirig (s). If the cutlet pipe is not instal led on, the e•i evat i orr to begin pumping, a permanent marker- roust be instal led on this elevation to indicate when pumping should begin. An al'evation must be estate I i shed to step pumping to rna i nta i n m i n i rnurn treatment depth (6 feet) . Pumping can be started or stopped any time between these two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit (weather-, soils, crop, and equipment to apply waste without runoff or leaching). Land app I i cat i on of waste water- i s redogn i zed 'as an acceptab I e method of disposal. Methods of application include so I i d set, center pivot, guns, and traveling gurr, irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent runoff from the field or damage to crops. The fo I lowing items are to be carried out: 1. It is strQngly recommended tha the treatment lagoon be pre - charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. So I i ds should be covered with effluent at all times. When pre - charging is completed, flush tauildirigs with recycled lagoon I i qui d. Fresh water- should not be used for flushing after - initial filling. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see Attachment B) before land app I i cat i can. S. Bleg i n pump -out of the I agoc-ri when f l u i d I eve I reaches e I ever- t i on 50.80 as marked by permanent markers. , Stop purnp-taut when the f l u i d I eve I reaches e I evat i on 4S.EDC) or before fluid depth is less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the lass of favorable bacteria). The design temporary storage, less Z5 year storm i s 120343 cubic feet or 901316Z gal I ons. As stated before, this volume w i I I vary considerably from year to year. 4. The recommended rna:; i rnum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) irich and the recommended maximum appIicat ion rate is 0.4 inches per hour. 5. K'eep vegetation can embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fert i I i zed as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. 6. Repair- any eroded areas or areas damaged by rt,,dents and establish in vegetation. 7. AI I surface runoff is to be diverted from the Iagoon to stable outlets. S. Keep a minirnurn of 100 feet cropland buffer- or 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer- around waste utilization fields, particularly adjacent to ponds, lakes, streams, open ditches, etc. Do not pump within SC7Cr feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a we I I . 9. The Clean Water- Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ- mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law. NOTES: WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 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 him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure anupdate 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, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5'or-more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip) 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 conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor 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. Page: 8 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS r 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.l, 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 not 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 wetlands by a discharge or by over-spraying.. nim Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharges directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste.management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as.necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. Page: 9 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied preplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -- determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted 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. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. Page: 10 OLSIUN SUMMARY r ECEI VED OPERATOR: Craig Kin Q C� SC7 (� S VL ER Q�i't lTY SECT 10N N � q �o � Please review the attached plan and specifications carefully. Retain this plan for your useJUand eco d�. It is strongly recommended that you, your contractor, and ADePt Construction & Development, Inc. staff are in agreement as to how the lagoon is to be constructed. ADePt's personnel will' m eeta wi&ra11ffng concerned parties and walk over the site to explain all flags and markings. It is important that everyone understandS-what is expected so that final construction meets plans and specifications and the job can be certified. The pad dimensions and grades are the best estimate. The builder or contractor is responsible for final layout and design of the pads. ADePt will assist in a limited capacity. The major concern of all parties shall be the proper design and construction of the waste treatment lagoon. The actual amount of material required for pads and dam may vary from the estimates. The design will attempt to balance cuts and fills as close as possible. If additional material is required after construction is complete on the lagoon, the contractor and owner will negotiate on the price and location of the borrow area. It should be noted that certification of the lagoon will depend upon all specifications being met. Important items include length, width, depth, slopes, topsoil placement, correct elevations (top, bottom, discharge pipes), and seeding. ARE CULTURAL RESOURCES EVIDENT?

This accounts for required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the field are most likely more than those shown in table 2. The nitrogen balance shown in table 2 should be equal to or less than 0 to fully utilize the nutrients produced by the swine production on this farm. To produce crops at the RYE`s shown may require the use of commercial fertilizer to balance fertilization rates in crop rotations. This farm is producing 6,739.20 lbs. of nitrogen per year in the waste water and an additional 1,048.32 lbs. of nitrogen accumulates annually as sludge. To land apply the liquid portion in an acceptable manner requires the irrigation system to pump and spread 3,997,344.00 total gallons annually. This involves spreading 147.21 acre -inches per year over the farms 60.40 total acres, or an average of 2.44 inches is to be applied, on average, to each acre irrigated.

The time required for the planned fluid Ievel (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for: (I) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also included is storage for the 25 year - 24 hour storm for the location. The volume -of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available. A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from building(s). If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth. Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without runoff or leaching. Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal_ Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops_ The following items are to be carried out: 1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be precharged to 112 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete, flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after initial filling. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment) before land application_ 3. Begin temporary storage pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches the elevation 42.9 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches elevation 41.3. This temporary storage, less 25 yr- 24 hr storm, contains 117492 cubic feet or 878840 gallons. 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 inch per hour. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details. 5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. 6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and establish in vegetation. 7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets. 8. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. The department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law. 10 SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS FOUNDATION PREPARATION: The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be cleared of trees, logs, 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 earthfill shall conform to the lines, grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen soil, stones over 6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent they are suitable, excavated materials can be used as fill, The fill shall be brought up in approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9 inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading equipment or standard tamping roller or other equivalent method. Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectible. NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials from the required excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for settlement. Dikes over I5 feet in height and with an impoundment capacity of 10 acre-feet or more fall under the jurisdiction of the NC Darn Safety Law. The height is defined as the difference in elevation from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike. Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. ® LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.6 ft. NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERIAL IS ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE SOILS REPORT. When area 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 SCS approved material (ie - CL, SC, CH). REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN THE PLANS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS. Soil liner material shall come from an approved borrow area. The minimum water content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture content which relates to that moisture content when the soil is 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 water content during placement. The maximum water content relates to the soil material being too wet for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Proper compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum ASTM D698 Dry Unit Weight 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 a clay liner, other than the type of clay used for the liner, is the efficient construction processing of the compacted liner. The sequence of equipment use and the routing of equipment in an established pattern helps assure uniformity in the whole placement and compaction process. For most clay soils, a tamping or sheepsfoot roller is the preferable type of compaction equipment. j 11 The soil liner shall be protected from the discharge of waste outlet pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator (rocks) or using flexible outlets on waste pipes. Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant. When these are specified, additional construction specifications are included with this Construction Specification. w CUTOFF TRENCH: A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when shown on a typical cross section in the plans. The final depth of the cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation materials. i VEGETATION: r 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 should be placed on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch shall be used if the recommended permanent vegetation is out of season dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should be established as soon as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates. REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS: When tile drains are encountered, the tile will be removed to a minimum of 10 feet beyond the outside toe of slope of the dike. The tile trench shall be backfilled and compacted with good material such as SC, CL, or CH. r 12 Sheetl Nutrient Management Plan Producer.

These rates are based on soil types of the land to be irrigated, the RYE's of the soil, and the PAN required to efficiently grow the c crops in the fields where waste is applied. This Nutrient Management Plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are required so that all plant nutrient requirements can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing this plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Factors included are: a. Always apply waste based on crop needs and the nutrient content of the waste. b. Do not over apply nitrogen. c. Soil types are important because of different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and water holding capacities. d. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the ground is frozen either of which could lead to surface runoff. e. Consider wind conditions to avoid drift and down wind odor problems. f. Waste can only be applied to actively growing crops or not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or to forages breaking dormancy. This plan is based on waste being applied using irrigation. If the application method is changed, this plan will have to be revised because nutrient content varies depending on how it is applied. The estimated acres needed to apply the waste as described above is based on average analyses for this type facility. Actual acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your facility. This nutrient management plan, if followed, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 as adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

The two separate hog operations will house approximately 4,600 sows and 46,000 piglets near Johnson Town and Watha, established African -American communities in Pender County. The first operation, owned by independent operator Craig King, will be located on approximately 473 acres. King plans to build two hog confinement buildings, housing approximately 1,200 sows and 12,000 piglets. The second location, owned by a contract operator for Murphy Farms whom we believe to be Steven Johnson Cashwell and/or Geraldine Johns Cashwell, will be located on approximately 80 acres. The Cashwell operation will house about 3,400 sows and 34,000 piglets. '11 ` ik We believe NPDES permits are necessary in these instances because the proposed facilities will produce massive quantities of waste. Due to the volume of waste involved, there is a high probability that it will enter the waters of the state through ditches and irrigation runoff. A non -discharge permit is insufficient to prevent surface water contamination by hog waste. Consequently, we request that your office, in compliance with 15A NCAC 02H.0123, conduct an on -site inspection of the proposed sites to determine if NPDES permits are warranted. Moreover, we request that you provide us with copies of your inspection reports and final decisions concerning whether NPDES permits are required. Additionally, in light of the proximity of the proposed hog operations to the residents of Johnson Town and Watha, we request that DEM prepare an Environmental Impact Statement LEIS"). This environmental review is necessary since the operations may adversely impact residents in the area, and may adversely affect the nearby bodies of water \` —1 Office Regiomrl Off' Contributions are The NAACP Legal Defense k Educational Fund, Inc.

Should you decide that an EIS is not necessary, we would appreciate a written explanation of the bases for that decision. Thank you in advance for your attention to this natter. Because construction on the King and Cashwell operations has begun, we seek expeditious review and action on this request. If you have any questions, please call Deborah Van Dyken at (919) 644-2828.
