Dear Rebecca Chandler, DWR
I would like to request a zero head animal permit for Lawrence
and Patsy Ward in regards to our swine farm only.
This farm is located at approximately 2096 Keesee Rd.,
McLeansville, NC and currently still has the swine lagoon open.
The lagoon can still be referred to as the "main farm lagoon" and
will be maintained and checked for varmint control. No hog or
swine waste has entered the lagoon since October 2014, and no
waste has been pumped out of the "main farm lagoon" since
August 2016. 1 still have the ability to pump and apply waste if the
need arises.
There are currently no funds available to close the "main farm
lagoon", even with cost sharing. My option at this point is to
monitor and maintain the lagoon until we can afford to close it
down. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Lawrence Ward
Patsy Ward

Subject: Pilot Permit for Ward Farm
Rebecca,
Just wanted to let you know that I met with Organic Resource Management (Jesse Butler, M.D. - https://ormgmt.com ) and
three others (Jackson Stancil and Richard Carlton with Jones St. Consulting & John Cooper with https.//connectc.org ) on
Monday. The "three others" are registered lobbyists. They also met with Gregg Ward that afternoon. Looks like Dr. Butler would
like to use the Cook -Stewart Farm as the site to test their proposed portable system. Essentially, sludge would be removed and
the solids separated and the liquid returned to the lagoon. The solids would be hauled to an off -site location and go through
processing to then be used in the manufacture of asphalt and/or shingles. They are also working with NC A&T on the project and
one of the A&T staff may come to the farm to operate the mobile unit. Details to be worked out.
The have also met with Christine, and would need a pilot permit for this project, estimated to run 6-12 months. We will work
Central Office, Dr. Butler, A&T and Gregg however we can to provide assistance in this process. Millie, I am copying you so that
you are aware.
I am sure we will discuss more as the proposed project goes along.

Subject: RE: How to Permit and Write WUP for #41-2?
That's great. So, here is what I will do:
I will send John Rendall an acknowledgement letter for the one closed lagoon stating two remain active. Nothing
to rescind there.
I will issue a zero animal permit to Gregg Ward for the 'Cook -Stewart' lagoon and rescind the current general
permit (AWS410002)
We will issue a zero animal permit to the other farm for their lagoon when we receive that request.
By the way, is it John Ward or John Rendall as written on the closure?

JR, the closure report form for the closed lagoon is attached. It must not have made its way to you! I will contact the
farm and get #2 on this list taken care of so we can wrap it up. I'm ok with you proceeding with this -- we've already
completed the annual inspection so I don't foresee it causing an issue for us.

Subject: RE: How to Permit and Write WUP for #41-2?
Thanks, Rebecca. Yes, your understanding is correct: They want to split the farm into three: two with active lagoons but
no farm activity that would require zero animal animals permit until closed... and the one with closed lagoon needs to be
rescinded. Here is the summary so far:
1. We just got a zero animal request from one farm with active lagoon.
2. We will *need* a zero animal request from another farm with active lagoon.
3. We will need a completed closure form from the closed lagoon to rescind their permit.
We already have the item #1 above and need Items 2 and 3. If it is OK with you and Melissa, I can start processing item
#1 immediately. But then we have no way of distinguishing and monitoring the other parts from this farm if we just do
this one right now.
Please advise.

Hi JR,
I'm working on Ward Farms today. Where are you with this? I know you were waiting on requests. I received a written
letter (scanned and attached here) requesting split and zero animal permit for Greg Ward "Cook -Stewart". If'I
understand it from below, we still need to receive. a request to,rescindthe permit of the closed lagoon, and�a-request
fM 'from the other farm (his uncle, "ain":lagoon) to request zero?
Let me know how to move forward,
Thanks!

Subject: RE: How to Permit and Write WUP for #41-2?
Melissa,
The way I understand the question: They now have three "inactive" farms under separate ownerships in place of the one
under single ownership. Two have active lagoons and one has closed lagoon. The one with closed lagoon can ask for
their portion of the permit rescinded. The two with the active lagoons can ask for zero animal permits while submitting a
2

change in ownership. Once we get the three sets of requests, I will figure out a wa to divide the farm into three
separate farms for the database purposes.
As for the waste plan, Millie can still write a waste plan for the poultry portion using the existing fields that were
previously under the swine permit. She would have to account for the swine waste if she would use those fields for the
swine waste as well.
That is my two cents. There is no precedence to go by and, hence. I will wait for everyone's input to straighten this
issue.
Thanks

Subject: How to Permit and Write WUP for #41-2?
A and Christine,
Got a complicated one for you.
Swine permit was originally issued to John Ward of Ward Farms for 4,100 feeder to finish. The Permit actually
consisted of three (3) farms (approx. 1-3 miles apart) with the following swine numbers allowed: "Main"
(1,500); "Cook -Stewart" (2,200) and "Cooper" (400, and was leased).
"Main" is now owned by Lawrence & Patsy Ward (John's brother) and has no swine, never intend to have
swine again but still has a lagoon. The smaller uncovered pit has already been closed.

"C "' John and Greg son Ward now an has no s+n�e never intend have e
"Cook -Stewart" is awned by J g( ) d a e d to a e swine
again but still has a lagoon. *They have 60,000 loyers/breeders (dry) on site though. Anticipate applying litter
to land in swine WUP. Millie Langley is working on poultry WUP.
"Cooper" lagoon has been closed, no animals on site and no longer leased by any of the Wards.
How does Millie re -write the WUP, how do we document that the owners have changed, and how should the
permit be written? Greg Ward is still the OIC for the permit.
Thanks,
Melissa

7-13-2017 Closure Update
This update is to address the change of crop planted on tract 8842 Field 6. The original closure plan had
Sorghum -Sudan Flay in this field. This field was planted in Soybean so the closure plan is being updated
to indicate tract 8942 field 6 having the crop Soybean, Full season, Manured with a PAN rate of 148 lbs.
With this change in crops the land application report indicates an excess application capacity of 9.8%.
This reduces the buffer capacity for land application with the variability between lagoon measurements
taken on November 15, 2016 and start of lagoon closure land application.

Nutrients applied in accordance with this plan will be supplied from the

The Waste Utilization table shoNvn below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of
cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, theirnutrient requirements,
and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or
other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in
order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is
included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

Narrative
This plan is for the closure of a hog lagoon located on property owned by John Rendall. Ward Farms
previously operated a 400 pig Feeder to Finish swine operation on the property. The feeder to finish
operation which consisted of one house and a 213,760 cu.ft. storage capacity lagoon has been void of any
pigs since January 2015. Mr. Rendall plans to hire a contractor to close out the lagoon in the spring of
2017 by agitating then pump and haul the manure to fields located next to the lagoon. Although Mr.
Rendall is the landowner, the permit for this facility is held by Ward Farms. Gregg Ward will be
overseeing the closure as the operator in charge.
A sludge survey was conducted on November 15, 2016 by Michael Shepherd, NC DSWC, and Millie
Langley and Jamey Walker with Guilford Soil and Water Conservation District. Both liquid and sludge
waste samples were collected and sent to the NCDA&CS Agronomics lab the same day. Results of the
sludge survey indicated there were 459,774 gallons of liquid waste with a nitrogen concentration of 0.57
lbs N/1000 gal and 597,203 gallons of sludge with a nitrogen concentration of 11:6 Ibs N/1000-gal. An
estimated 5,745 gallons of sludge waste remains in the hog house, which will be scooped out and
removed during the closure. These gallons were added to the sludge estimate in the pond for a total
sludge volume of 602,949 gallons. The total volume of waste to be removed is 1,062,723 gallons.
Soil samples for all application fields were collected by Michael Shepherd and Millie Langley on
December 14, 2016 and sent to the NCDA&CS Agronomics lab for analysis.
The closure method for the lagoon will be a heavy agitation then pump and haul to crop fields and
pasture land nearby with honeywagons. Water shall be added as necessary to facilitate the agitation and
pumping. Due to the low liquid level in the lagoon, a complete removal of all manure by agitation may
not be achieved. if manure still exist in the bottom of the lagoon after agitation and pumping, the sludge
layer may need to be scooped out and spread on fields with a side slinger manure spreader at agronomic
rates. All liquid, slurry, sludge, and solid waste removed from the lagoon shall be utilized in accordance
with NRCS Conservation Practice Standards, Nutrient Management, Code 590 and/or Waste facility
closure, Code 360.
Once all manure has been removed from the lagoon and approved by a Technical Specialist, the lagoon
dam shall be breached from the northwest corner of the dam. The impoundment shall be rendered unable
to impound water and the bottom and sides of the impoundment breach shall be stable and no steeper
than three horizontal to one vertical (3:1). All disturbed areas shall be re -vegetated to control erosion and
restore the aesthetic value of the site in accordance with NRCS Conservation Practice Standard, Waste
Facility Closure, Code 360 and/or Critical Area Planting, Code 342.

The table shown below provides a summary ofthe crops or rotations included in this plan for each field. Realistic
Yield estimates are also provided for each crop, as well as the crop's P205 Removal Rate. The Leaching Index (LI)
and the Phosphorous Loss Assessment Tool (PLAT) Rating are also provided for each field, where available.
Ifa field's PLAT Rating is High, any planned manure application is limited to the phosphorous removal rate of the
harvested plant biomass for the crop rotation or multiple years in the crop sequence. Fields with a Very High PLAT
Rating should receive no additional applications of manure. Regardless of the PLAT rating, starter fertilizers may be
recommended in accordance with North Carolina State University guidelines or recommendations. The quantity of
P205 applied to each crop is shown in the following table if the field's PLAT rating is High or Very High.

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of
cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements,
and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or
other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and I iquid waste that will be applied on each field in
order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is
included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

Lagoon sludge often contains high concentrations of zinc and copper. High levels of these metals in soils can adversely affect plant growth. The
following table provides a conservative (maximum potential) estimate for increase in soil index values.* Due to inherit variability of waste and soil
sampling, it is recommended that conservative soil target levels be set forcopper (e.g. Cu-1 < 700-1000) and zinc (e.g. Zn-1 < 300 for land where
peanuts may be grown; for other cropland Zn-I < 700-I000). Alternative application sites should be selected if the following table indicates that
concentrations ofthese metals may approach excessive levels. For maximum copper and zinc soil index limits, seethe NRCS Nutrient Management
Standard (Code 590).

The Nutrient Management Recommendations table shown below provides an annual summary of the nutrient
management plan developed for this operation. This table provides a nutrient balance for the listed fields and crops
for each year of the plan. Required nutrients are based on the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient
requirements and soil test results. The quantity of nutrient supplied by each source is also identified.
The total quantity of nitrogen applied to each crop should not exceed the required amount. However, the quantity of
other nutrients applied may exceed their required amounts. This most commonly occurs when manure or other
byproducts are utilized to meet the nitrogen needs of the crop. Nutrient management plans may require that the
application of animal waste be limited so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of
this nutrient are detected in a field. In such situations, additional nitrogen applications from nonorganic sources
may be required to supply the recommended amounts of nitrogen.

The Required Soil Test Values shown in the following table provide a summary of recommended actions that should betaken if soil tests indicate
excessive levels of copper or zinc. Fields that receive manure must have an annual soil analysis for these elements. High levels of zinc and copper
can adversely affect plant growth. Alternative crop sites must be used when the concentration of these metals approach excessive levels. Site life can
be estimated by dividing the amount of copper and zinc to be applied in lbslacre by 0.036 and 0.071, respectively and multiplying the result by 0.85.

GENERAL LAGOON CLOSURE INFORMATION:
Closure Start Date: 06-01-2017 Closure End Date: 10-01-2017
WASTE APPLICATION
1. Animal waste shall not be applied to wetlands or surface water or shall not reach wetlands
or surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or
direct discharge during operation or land application.
2. Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding at 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 filters are installed where runoff leaves the field.
3. Animal waste shall not be applied on saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen. When animal waste is to be applied on areas 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.
4. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages
breaking dormancy. A suitable cover crop should be planted to scavenge nutrients
especially on leachable soils. Also on soils with a high potential for leaching, multiple
applications at lower rates should be used.
5. Animal waste should be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is
not covered with waste to depth that would inhibit growth.
6. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters.
7. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied within 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by
the landowner.
9. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
10. Animal waste applied on grassed waterways shall be at agronomic rates and in a manner
that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
11. Apply animal waste at rates that do not exceed the nitrogen needs for Realistic Yield
Expectation (RYE) for the crop being grown,
12. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least once every three
years
at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining
element.
13. Records of waste application shall be maintained to establish actual application rates. The
records will include date of application, amount of waste applied per acre by tract number
and field number, most recent waste analysis and soil test report, and the RYE nitrogen
rate.
14. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate. No ponding
shall occur.
CLOSEOUT CONDITION:
131348 _____ Date Printed: 05-02-2017 Info Page I

WASTE STORAGE POND CLOSURE
All devices used to convey animal waste into the storage ponds shall be permanently plugged
or removed. Liquid and slurry wastes shall be agitated and pumped to the maximum extent
practicable. Water shall be added as necessary to facilitate the agitation and pumping. The
wastewater shall be utilized in accordance with NRCS Conservation Practice Standard,
Nutrient Management, Code 590 and/or Waste Utilization, Code 633.
If the bottom of the lagoon or structure is above the water table at the time of closure and will
support earth -moving equipment, it must be scraped. A qualified technical specialist must
determine the soil stability for earth moving equipment. For lagoons or structures that are not
to be scraped and those with bottoms documented to be below the water table at the time of
closure, the depth of "agitated" waste material remaining in the lagoon or structure at the time
of closure may not exceed a maximum depth of one (1) foot.
Upon the completion of waste removal from the ponds, the embankments will be breached so
they will no longer impound liquid. The slopes and bottom of the breachshall be no steeper than
3:1. All disturbed areas shall be vegetated in accordance with USDANRCS Conservation Practice
Standard 342 (Critical Area Treatment).
The concrete feedlot may no longer be used to confine livestock. All waste shall be removed
from the lot and runoff directed to a stable outlet which will not result in erosion or discharge of
animal waste.
A Certified Technical Specialist or Professional Engineer licensed in North Carolina must
supervise and certify any lagoon or waste pond closure. Two business days prior to any waste
removal, the Division of Water Resources (DWR) must be notified. A copy of the closure plan
must also be submitted to DWR prior to notification.
REMOVAL OF INFLOW DEVICES:
All devices used to convey animal waste into and between the storage ponds shall be permanently
plugged or removed.
INSTALLATION OF SPILLWAY:
Once all manure has been removed from the lagoon and approved by a Technical Specialist, the lagoon
dam shall be breached from the northwest corner of the dam. The impoundment shall be rendered
unable to impound water and the bottom and sides of the impoundment breach shall be stable and no
steeper than three horizontal to one vertical (3:1). All disturbed areas shall be re -vegetated to control
erosion and restore the aesthetic value of the site in accordance with NRCS Conservation Practice
Standard, Waste Facility Closure, Code 360 and/or Critical Area Planting., Code 342.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
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 that reaches surface
water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer
either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to
properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to
properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an
agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity,
allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the
responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an
update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the
operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application,
receiving crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs
for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical
data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are
regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre
per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per
acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter
strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field
Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
S. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste
application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift
from the land application field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste
will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is
applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be
broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone
to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance).
131348 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: SC2/2017
Specification Page 1

7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration
rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a
method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No
ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies.
S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall
events, or when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner
that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit
growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be
considered.
10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring
planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient
loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable
winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not
be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages
breaking dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with
the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is
applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least
50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste,
other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1,1995,
shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other
than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and
public right-of-ways.
-------- - --- - ------ ------------------ ----------- ---
131348 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: 5/2/2017 Specification Page 2

15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways,
or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be
applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been
approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal
waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly
into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be
applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift
from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets,
sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management
system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all
disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas
shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as
trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where
considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and
accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for
evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the
owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan"
which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and
erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected
on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular
maintenance checklist should be kept on site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other
crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on
crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant
with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom
elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste
treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level
between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum
storage volume for waste storage ponds.
- - ----- — - --------- --- ----- _------------------ --- --- ...---------- ---
131348 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: 5/212017 Specification Page 3

22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested
at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen
shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require
waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower
application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the
soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when
these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and
maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis
records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste
application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years.
Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five
(5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

Subject: RE: Ward Farm Tires
Melissa -
An exact tire count is not necessary at the onset; however, if the state decides to assist with paying the
disposal costs for these tires, an accurate estimate is essential. The property owner needs to be aware that,
should he be required to dispose of the tires himself, current costs average $.73/passenger vehicle tire,
S3.65/heavy truck tire and S/0365/lb. for off-road/equipment tires.
I should also point out that the state statutes (GS 130A-309.51 through 130A-309.63 - Scrap Tire Disposal Act)
limit the number of tires permitted to be accumulated on a working farm to 250. If the property is not being
farmed, the limit goes down to 50 tires. Surpassing these limits constitutes a nuisance tire site, and the
property owner may be cited and issued an abatement order as a result.
In Guilford County, we hold an annual spring clean-up day at the agricultural center when tires are accepted at
no cost. We don't have a date set for the 2012 event as yet, but it usually takes place in late March or early
April. Perhaps this might be the best way for the property owner to handle his tire stockpile.
I hope this is helpful. If I can be of further assistance, please let me know.

Susan,
I had sent an email to the property owner and did not get a response. In talking with them, it seemed that
they may have thought it impractical to count all of the tires. I sent you an estimate of the volume and type,
but you had wanted a count. I suspect they will just keep accumulating until the parcels on which the tires are
located are sold. I think it was just a case of "it's more trouble than it's worth" for the owner since the volume
is so great.
I apologize for taking your time. Thanks for the information, however. Should I encounter this in the future I
will make certain the owner has a count of the tires.

Miressa,
I received an exemption for two lagoons associated with the Ward Farm. In reviewing the data, I'm proposing
that we give them until the end of their current permit cycle (October 2014) if it's ok with Central Office.
This is a good operation with a very conscientious operator.

ADoendix 3. Worksheet for sludae volurnld treatment volume Revised'Auaust 2008
The_ - _. �erage thickness of the sludge layer and the thickness of the existing liquid (sludge -free) treatment zone are determined
frc a information on the Lagoon Sludge Survey Form ( Items 0 and P, respectively). In this example, the average sludge
layer thickness is 2.5 feet and the existing liquid treatment zone is 3.5 feet. If the lagoon has a designed sludge storage volume,
see notes at end of the worksheet. The dimensions of the lagoon as measured and the side slope are needed
for calculations of sludge volume and of total treatment volume. If the lagoon is a standard geometric shape, the sludge
volume and the treatment volume in the lagoon can be estimated by using standard equations. For approximate volumes
of rectangular lagoons with constant side slope, calculate length and width at the midpoint of the layer, and multiply by layer
thickness to calculate layer volume, as shown in the example. For irregular shapes, convert the total surface area to a square
or rectangular shape. For exact volumes for lagoons with constant side slope, the "Prismoidal Equations" may be used.

Dear John Ward:
The Division of Water Quality (Division) received your sludge survey information on March 26,
2008, With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement for
the two lagoons at the Ward Farms facility not to be required until 2009. Due to the amounts of
treatment volume available, the Division agrees that a sludge survey is not needed until 2009 for
both the Main & Cook-Stewart'lagoons. The results of the 2009 sludge survey are to be
submitted by March 1, 2010.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions, please call me at (919)

The average thickness of the sludge layer is determined from information on the
Sludge Surrey Form. In this example, the average sludge layer thickness is 2.5 feet.
The dimensions of the lagoon and the side slope are needed for calculations. If the
lagoon is a standard geometric shape, the volume of sludge in the lagoon can be
estimated by using standard equations. For rectangular lagoons and constant side
slope, calculate length and width at the midpoint of the sludge layer, and multiply by
sludge layer thickness to calculate sludge layer volume, as shown in the example.
For irregular shapes, convert the total surface to a square shape.

Lagoon ID: Cook Stewart
The average thickness of the sludge layer is determined from information on the
Sludge Survey Form. In this example, the average sludge layer thickness is 2.5 feet.
The dimensions of the lagoon and the side slope are needed for calculations. If the
lagoon is a standard geometric shape, the volume of sludge in the lagoon can be
estimated by using standard equations. For rectangukar lagoons and constant side
slope, calculate length and width at the midpoint of the sludge layer, and multiply by
sludge layer thickness to calculate sludge layer volume, as shown in the example.
For irregular shapes, convert the total surface to a square shape.

Subject: Application for Renewal of Coverage for Expiring NPDES General Permit
Dear Pennittee:
Your facility is currently approved for operation under one of the Animal Waste Operation NPDES General Permits, which expire on
July 1, 2007, Due to changes in federal rules, facilities that do not discharge nor propose to discharge may choose whether or not to
retain coverage under an NPDES General Permit. Copies of the draft animal waste operation NPDES general permits and the State
Non -Discharge General Permits are available at htip://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/aps/afou/downloads.htm or by writing or calling:
NCDENR — DWQ Animal Feeding Operations Unit
1636 Mail Service Center
.Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1636
Telephone number: [phone]
In order to assure your continued covers a under one of these two types. of general permits, you must submit an application for permit
covers a to the Division. Enclosed you will find a `Re uest for Certificate of Coverage Facility Currently Covered by an Ex idn
NPDES General Permit.' The a lication form must he comj2leted and returned by January 2 2007. Please noteyou must include
two (2) copies of your most recent Waste, Utilization Plan with the application form.
Failure to request renewal of your coverage under a general permit within the time period specified may result in a civil penalty.
Operation of your facility without coverage under a valid general permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could
result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
If you have any questions about the draft general permits, the enclosed application, or any related matter please feel free to contact the

The average thickness of the sludge layer is determined from information on the
Sludge Survey Form. In this example, the average sludge layer thickness is 2.5 feet.
The dimensions of the lagoon and the side slope are needed for calculations. if the
lagoon is a standard geometric shape, the volume of sludge in the lagoon can be
estimated by using standard equations. For rectangular lagoons and constant side
slope, calculate length and width at the midpoint of the sludge layer, and multiply by
sludge layer thickness to calculate sludge layer volume, as shown in the example.
For irregular shapes, convert the total surface to a square shape.

The average thickness of the sludge layer is determined f-om information on the Lagoon Sludge
Survev Form. In thi example, the average sludge layer thickness is 2.5 feet. The dimensions of
the lagoon and the sidd slope are needed for calculations. If the lagoon is a standard geometric
shape, the volume of sludge in the lagoon can then be estimated by using standard equations. For
rectangular lagoons and constant side slope, calculate length and width a` the midpoint of the

Appendix 3. Sludge Volume Worksheet.
The average thickness of the sludge layer is determined from information on the Lagoon Sludge
Survey born. In this example, the average sludge layer thickness is 2.5 feet: The dimensions of
the lagoon and the side slope are needed for calculations. If the lagoon is a standard geometric
shape, the volume of sludge in the lagoon can then be estimated by using standard equations. For
rectangular lagoons and constant side slope, calculate length and width at the midpoint of the
sludge laver, and multiply by sludge layer thickurfis to calculate sludge layer volume, as shown in
the example. For irregular shapes, convert. the total surface area to a square shape.
Example
A. Average Sludge Layer Thickness (T) 2 5 ft•
E. Depth of lagoon from top of bank
to bottom soil surface (D) UA

Dear Mr. Ward:
Thank you for your recent submittal of the information requested in our letter dated April 23,
2003. We greatly appreciate the effort that you made in compiling this information and sending
it to our Winston-Salem Regional Office by the date required. We also appreciate the fact that
you reported the problem with high freeboard to our staff as required by your permit and worked
with our staff to manage the problem once it occurred.
Upon review and consideration of the information submitted, the Winston-Salem Regional
Office has determined that no further compliance/enforcement actions will be taken by the
Division for high freeboard.
Also, based on your actions to properly operate your facility, the Division of Water Quality
hereby rescinds the Notice of Violation that was issued to you on April 23, 2003 and replaces it
with this Notice of Deficiency.
In the future, please continue to evaluate ways to maintain freeboard levels in the required range.
These methods include, but are not limited to, water conservation practices, adding additional
application sites, updating your cropping systems, adding additional and/or more flexible
application equipment, and maintaining the lagoon levels at the lowest allowable and appropriate
levels throughout the year. Our staff looks forward to continuing to work with you and your
Technical Specialist to evaluate and implement any needed changes to your system.

This N is from animal waste only. If nutrients from others s such as commercial fertilizer are applied, they must be accounted for. us be based on
realistic yield expectation. NOTE: The appfica n that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. Beginning In 1996 the
Coastal Zone Management Act will require in some ea tem counties of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all
nutrients. This plan only addresses Nitrogen. able Crap
NOTE 2: 25% reduction has been taken for g pasture.
Residual N from soybeans willftAwa"y the Tobacco crop on which no waste is applied.

THIS TABLE IS NOT NEEDED IF WASTE IS NOT BEING APPLIED BY IRRIGATION, HOWEVER, A SIMILAR TABLE WILL BE NEEDED FOR DRY LETTER OR SLURRY.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed 'on the average of once every6 MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of
waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 89.5 or 2.0' below top of Dam.
NOTE: Part of Field 4, Pull 4 may actually be applying waste onto grazed pasture(field #3). This
pasture will take 124 ibs N at the RYE of 3.3 tons(less 25% for grazing) this is less than the amounts
for Small grain and Soybeans and can be irrigated during the same application windows.

WASA UTILIZATION PLAN
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION:
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.
Cook Stewart Farm:
The pump is able to produce a pressure of 62 psi at the RainBird Ring nozzle gun using a
ring size of .870". At this pressure, the gun is putting out 112 GPM with a diameter of 270
feet. A total of 58 acre inches must be applied each year. This is equal to 29 inches every 6
months. Applying waste at .3 inch per hour for 2 hours at a time should not cause any
runoff. Only one cycle may be applied (for a total application time of 2 hours) on the small
grain fields over the course of the year. Two and a half cycles may be applied when Sudan is
the crop. At 86.9 Lbs of N per Ac Inch, this will result in applications of N slightly below the
RYE for the crop being used.
(1,583,860 gals T 27,154 gals/ac.in = 58 ac.in)
Main Farm:
The pump is able to produce a pressure of 62 psi at the RainBird Ring nozzle gun using a
ring size of .870". At this pressure, the gun is putting out 112 GPM with a diameter of 270
feet. A total of 49 acre inches must be applied each year. This is equal to 24 inches every 6
months. Applying waste at .3 inch per hour for 2 hours at a time should not cause any
runoff. Three cycles may be applied (for a total application time of 6 hours) on the small
grain fields over the course of the year. Four cycles may be applied (for a total application
time of 8 hours) on the pasture fields. At 70.6 Lbs of N per Ac Inch, this will result in
applications of N slightly below the RYE for the crop being used except for the field #7
pasture.
(1,337,648 = 27,154 gals/ac.in = 49.3 ac.in produced)
Cooper Fanm:The pump is able to produce a pressure of 62 psi at the RainBird Ring nozzle
gun using a ring size of .870". At this pressure, the gun is putting out 112 GPM with a
diameter of 270 feet. A total of 22.9 acre- inches must be applied each year. This is equal
to 11.5 acre- inches every 6 months. Applying waste at .3 inch per hour for 2 hours at a time
should not cause any runoff. Up to six and a half cycles may be applied (for a total
application time of 13 hours) depending on the crop requirements, over the course of the
year. At 40.7 Lbs of N per Ac inch, this will result in applications of N according to the RYE
for the crop being used.

SUBJECT: Notice of Violation
Anumal Operation Compliance Inspection
Ward Farms #41-02
Guilford County
Dear Mr. Ward:
The purpose of this letter is to summarize the findings of your compliance
inspection performed on September 14, 2000. The inspection was performed by
Melissa Rosebrock of the Division of Water Quality Winston-Salem Regional Office.
On the date of the inspection it was found that the animal waste lagoon
located on the "Cooper Farm" had inadequate freeboard (approximately 16 inches).
This poses an immediate threat to the environment due to the potential for discharge
to surface waters of the State. Please note that, in this region of the state, you must
have a minimum of 18 inches of extra storage in your lagoon at all times. Please be
advised that the non -permitted discharge of any type of wastewater to the waters
of the State is illegal as per North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1(a) and could
subject you to civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day per violation.
While it was noted that your lagoon level is above that required for adequate
freeboard, we also understand that you may have been basing your maximum liquid
level on a marker that was set by an incorrect benchmark. Per Millie Langley with the
Greensboro Field Office, the marker was apparently "off the wrong benchmark (two
had been set) and the marker set incorrectly." Our office has received written
confirmation from Ms. Langley that the marker will be moved to the correct level "as
soon as possible and within 30 days."
During the inspection, it was also noted that the information in your waste
application records was not complete. Specifically, there were no records for any
waste samples taken within 60 days of the June 2000 application events.
Additionally, waste applications in February and August were outside of the

appropriate application windows. Please note that waste and soil records, once obtained, must be
kept for a minimum of five years. Failure to have the above components available and
complete is a violation of your Animal Waste Management Permit. As you know, waste
applications should be applied during the time the crop can utilize the nutrients in the waste. In
general, waste should be applied no earlier than 30 days prior to planting.
While it was noted that you have made efforts to control vegetation on the dams of the of
the "Cook -Stewart" and "Cooper Farm" lagoons, these dams still need additional maintenance
performed. On the date of the inspection, many small trees were still evident on the structures.
Excessive vegetation is a concern since it can: provide sheltered areas for insects and burrowing
animals; interfere with establishment and maintenance of desirable vegetative cover; hinder
visual inspection of the dam; and impair its structural integrity.
The Winston-Salem Regional Office appreciates your cooperation in these matters. We
urge you to contact the Greensboro Field office at [phone] for suggestions regarding
vegetation control, record keeping, setting markers, etc. If you have questions regarding this
Notice, please contact Melissa Rosebrock or meat [phone].

Melissa,
Thanks for calling me about the Ward's lagoon on the Cooper Farm. When
you told me that the lagoon level was too high, yet it was below the
marker, I was very concerned because I had personally set that marker
myself. Jamey Walker and I went out there yesterday after your call to
check the problem. The marker is exactly where I set it. However, I
apparently went off the wrong benchmark (Tommy and Daphne had set two),
and the marker was set incorrectly. This error was much more noticeable
with the lagoon level higher. When the marker was originally set, the
lagoon level was way down to facilitate installing the Stop Pump
marker. I could see yesterday that it was set about 6 inches too high.
Please know that Gregg and John Ward were using that marker in good
faith and were doing their best to maintain the lagoon levels as we had
instructed them. As far as they knew they were still below the max.
liquid level and the start pumping mark.
I accept full responsibility for the marker being set incorrectly. I
will have the marker moved to the correct level as soon as possible and
within 30 days. I will be in contact with you Melissa, when this is
accomplished.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in this matter.

Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System
Ward Farms
Facility Number 41-2
Guilford County
A letter dated January 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 Rocky Durham on 5/18/99 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 Rocky Durham the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to Rocky Durham, at 919 North Main Street,
Mooresville, NC 28115, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any
questions please contact Rocky Durham at [phone]. If within 90 days you are
unable to provide Rocky Durham 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 DWQ within the next
180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the
required time, DWQ 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 r
must be kept at your facility. DWQ 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 permitting
requirement.

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. 1RRI, IRR2, DRY], DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, 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

The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject application.
Additional information is required before we can continue our review. Please address and submit the following information
by January 27, 1999:
1. Your animal waste management plan certification shows 3 lagoons with 915, 800 cu. ft. whereas the combined total of
three lagoons given in the waste utilization plan is about 396, 827 cu. ft. Please clarify the number of lagoons present
on your farm and submit calculations to show required storage volumes in each of these lagoons.
2. The Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) lists soybeans and alfalfa as available crops for waste application. Residual
nitrogen left over from these leguminous crops in a rotation must be accounted for. Nitrogen application rates to the
subsequent crop are required to be reduced by 15-30 lb. (dependent on soil type) to account for the residual nitrogen
left by the preceding legume crop. Please verify and revise, if necessary, your WUP to properly list all application
rates with residual nitrogen incorporated into your cropping scheme.
3. Your waste utilization plan states alfalfa as an alternate crop whereas the plant available nitrogen (PAN) from alfalfa
is added to the total PAN utilized in that year. It has t fus resulted in higher amount of PAN deficit than it actually is.
Please clarify this disparity and show separate tables involving soybeans or alfalfa, if necessary, to show actual PAN
used in a particular cropping scheme in a year.
Please note that all revisions or amendments made to the waste utilization plan (WUP) or a portion thereof are required to
be signed and dated by boil; the landowner and the Technical Specialist before they are submitted for review.
Please reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. All information
should be signed, sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below. The information requested by this
letter must be submitted on or before January 27, 1999 or the Division will return your application as incomplete in
accordance with 15A N.C.A.C. 2H .0200 and your facility will be considered to be operating without a permit.

Farm Inspection
Ward Swine Farm
Guilford County
Dear Mr. Ward:
An inspection of your farm facilities was conducted by Ron Linville of this
office in conjunction with Mr. John Andrews of the NRCS on August 20, 1997. Botb
you and Greg Ward were present and courteous during portions of the inspection.
During the inspection of the facility on Wild Turkey. Road, it was
determined that a junction box was malfunctioning and that untreated
wastewaters were discharging into the creek below the lagoon. This is a
tributary to Big Alamance Creek. The incident did appear to be recent and you
immediately took steps to replace the junction box with solid piping. It is our
understanding that this work was accomplished within 8 hours of the bypass
discovery. .A follow up visit the next morning found that the situation had been
properly resolved.
Please keep in mind that it is imperative during visits to hog houses that
the certified operator (or other farm labor) inspect the facility and report any
malfunctions to you without delay. Violations of this nature can cause civil
penalties to be assessed at a rate of $10,000.00 per day per violation with each
day being considered as a separate offense. As this issue has been resolved, you
do not need to respond to this letter. If you have any questions about this
letter, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Ron Linville or Steve Mauney, Water
Quality Supervisor at [phone] extensions 265 or 262 respectively.

Dear Mr. Ward:
Please reference the site inspection of March 13, 1995, conducted by
Mr. John Thomas of the Raleigh Regulatory Field Office Staff at your farm
property located off of Keesee Road, adjacent to Little Alamance Creek,
McLeansville, Guilford County, North Carolina. The purpose of this meeting was
to review plans provided by Mr. John Andrews of the United States Department
of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service for your proposed swine
producer lagoon, and to inspect the site for waters and wetlands subject to
Department of the Army permitting authority.
The site inspections showed that the proposed referenced project is
located adjacent to, and above the headwaters of, an unnamed tributary to
Little Alamance Creek. Our review of the proposed plans indicates that the
project will include an excavation and fill of the referenced tributary that
would result in approximately 0.25 acres of adverse impacts to jurisdictional
waters and wetlands on the referenced tributary.
For the purposes of the Corps of Engineers' Regulatory Program, Title
33, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 330.6, published in the Federal
Register on November 22, 1991, lists nationwide permits. Authorization was
provided, pursuant to Section 404 of the Clean water Act, for discharges of
dredged or fill material into headwaters and isolated waters.
Your work is authorized by this nationwide permit provided it is
accomplished in strict accordance with the enclosed conditions. This
nationwide permit does not relieve you of the responsibility to obtain any
required State on local approval.
This verification will be valid until the nationwide permit is modified,
reissued or revolted, which will occur no later than January 21, 1997. It is
incumbent upon you to remain informed of changes to the nationwide permits,
which will be announced by public notice when they occur. If you commence, or
are under contract to commence, this activity before the date the nationwide
permit is modified or revoked, you will have twelve months from the date of
the modification or revocation to complete the activity under. the present
terms and conditions of this nationwide permit.
