The average thickness of the sludge layevand the thickness of the existing liquid (sludge- free) treatment zone are determined
from the information on the Lagoon Sludge Survey Form ( Items'O and P, respectively). In this example, the average sludge
layer thickness is 2i5 feetand 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•Iagoon as measured and the side slope are.needed

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.

If the ratio R exceeds 0.50, than a sludge Plan of Action may be required. Check with DWQ for information

Note: If the lagoon has a designed sludge storage volume (DSSV), subtract that volume from both the volume
of sludge (Vs) (Item 8) and from the volume of total treatment zone (Vz) (Item 14), and take the ratio.
Then, R = (Vs-DSSV) / (Vz - DSSV)
Example: If DSSV = 85,000 f13, then R = (169,860 - 85,000)1(447,174 - 85,000) = 84,860 1362,174 = 0.24.

Jeff,
Just FYI ---In reviewing the sludge survey that was submitted, it appears that the sludge level is too high. That means they
need to do a sludge POA within 90 days and remove the sludge within 2 years. See swine permit condition 111.18.

Dear- Mr. Moses,
On August 15, 2016, a compliance inspection was performed at the facility associated with permit
number AWS410012 by Environmental Specialist Jeff Robinson with the Division of Water Resources.
While reviewing previous inspection reports, it was noticed that a sludge sruNey for the lagoon(s) at this

lagoon relocation information
Teodoro,
I have researched your question about relocating your facility and checked with my supervisor as well. State
law does not allow for the construction of any new swine lagoon for a lagoon-sprayfield operation. This link will
take you to the text of 2007 SB 1465, which lists the full conditions under which a lagoon may be reconstructed
- http://www.ncga.state.nc.us/Sessions/2007/Bills/Senate/PDF/S1465v7.pdf . Based on the information we
discussed, your facility would not qualify.
As I mentioned, the use of a technology that satisfies the performance criteria for new/expanding swine farms
would allow you to relocate your facility. The new location would have to meet the requirements of the Swine
Farm Siting Act- hft ://www.nc a.state.ne.us/Sessions/1997/Bills/HouselPDF/H515v6. df . The existing
lagoon would need to be officially closed according to NRCS closure standards as well.
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance

Dear NC A&T State University
The Division of Water Quality (Division) received your sludge survey information on October
17, 2011. With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement
for the lagoon at NC A&T Porcine Research Laboratory facility. Due to the amount of treatment
volume available, the Division agrees that a sludge survey'is not needed until 2014 for primary
lagoon #1 only.
The next sludge survey for Primary Lagoon #1 at this facility should be performed before
December 31, 2014. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please call me at (919) 71 5-

Stocking numbers
Hey Teo,
After talking with Keith Larick (Raleigh Central Office) and Buster Towel (Raleigh Regional Office) I wanted to
follow-up on our discussion regarding stocking numbers at the school farm:
The farm is permitted for 250 sows in a farrow to feeder operation. The permit assumes about 2.3 litters per
sow/per year and 8-10 pigs per litter. Further, the "feeder size" for which you are permitted, includes baby
pigs up to about 55-60 pounds. Therefore, your current stocking rate of 172 sows and 180 piglets (up to 60
pounds) is within your permitted limit.
We should both print this page and keep it in our records for next year ---when I get confused again! Thanks
for your efforts and patience!

C. Person(s) Taking Measurements Teo Barrios
D. Date of Measurement 9/26/2011
E. Methods/Devices Used for Measurement of:
a. Distance from the lagoon liquid surface to the top of the sludge layer.
Rope and Disc Blade
b. Distance from the lagoon liquid surface to the bottom (soil) of the lagoon.
Probe
c. Thickness of the sludge layer if making a direct measurement with "core sampler".
NIA
F. Lagoon Surface Area (using dimensions at inside top of bank): 0.81 (acres)
(Draw a sketch of the lagoon on a separate sheet, list dimensions, and calculate surface area. The lagoon
may have been built different than designed, so measurements should be made.)
G. Estimate number of sampling points:
a. Less than 1.33 acres: Use 8 points
b. If more than 1.33 ac. acres x 6 = with maximum of 24.
(Using sketch and dimensions, develop a uniform grid that has the same number of intersections as the
estimated number of sampling points needed. Number the intersection points on the lagoon grid so that data
recorded at each can be easily matched.)
H. Conduct sludge survey and record data on "Sludge Survey Data Sheet" (Appendix 2). Also, at the
location of the pump intake, take measurements of distance from liquid surface to top of sludge
layer and record it on the Data Sheet (last row); this must be at least 2.5 ft. when irrigating.
I. At the time of the survey, also measure the distance from the Maximum Liquid Level to the Present Liquid
Level (measure at the lagoon gauge pole): 0.0
J. Determine the distance from the top of bank to the Maximum Liquid Level 2.6
(use lagoon management plan or other lagoon records)
K. Determine the distance from the Maximum Liquid to the Minimum Liquid level: 0.0
(use lagoon management plan or other lagoon records)
L. Calculate the distance from the present liquid surface level to the Minimum Liquid Level 0.0
(Item K Minus Item 1, assuming the present liquid level is below the Maximum Liquid Level)
M. Record from the Sludge Survey Data Sheet the distance from the present liquid surface level to the
lagoon bottom (average for all the measurement points) 10.6
N. Record from the Sludge Survey Data Sheet the distance from the present liquid surface level to the top
of the sludge layer (average for all the measurement points): 6.8
O. Record from the Sludge Survey Data Sheet the average thickness of the sludge layer:
P. Calculate the thickness of the existing Liquid Treatment Zone (Item N minus Item L): 6.8
Q. If Item O is greater than Item P, proceed to the Worksheet for Sludge Volume and Treatment Volume.
If Item O is equal to or less than Item P, you do not have to determine volumes.

`All Grid Points and corresponding sludge layer thicknesses must be shown on a sketch attached to this
Sludge Survey Data Sheet.

Appendix 3. Worksheet for sludge volume Oreatment volume Revise*ust 2008
The average thickness of the sludge layer and the thickness of the existing liquid (sludge -free) treatment zone are determined
from the information on the Lagoon Sludge Survey Form ( Items O 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.

If the ratio R exceeds 0.50, than a sludge Plan of Action may be required. Check with DWQ for information

Note: If the lagoon has a designed sludge storage volume (DSSV), subtract that volume from both the volume
of sludge (Vs) (Item 8) and from the volume of total treatment zone (Vz) (Item 14), and take the ratio.
Then, R = (Vs-DSSV) / (Vz - DSSV)
Example: If DSSV = 85,000 ft3, then R = (169,860 - 85,000) / (447,174 - 85,000) = 84,860 1362,174 = 0.24.

Hi Teo,
Thanks for coming by the office today to work on revising the Waste Utilization Plan for the A&T Swine Unit. The new
numbers for your waste plan will reflect the maximum numbers given to you by Christine Lawson with DWQ.
228 sows farrow to feeder
85 feeder to finish pigs
The additional shelter in field 58 was also approved.
Remember that no matter how many shelters are constructed or where you put the hogs on the farm, A&T Swine Unit
may not exceed these numbers even if the farm has the land to accommodate them and their waste. The state
approved a moratorium on swine back in the late 90's and that has not been lifted since then.
When I finish the plan, I will review it with you and Melissa Rosebrock. If it meets approval we can request the change in
your permit and send a copy of the plan to Raleigh.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

The numbers that you want to change to would result in an increased SSLW of nearly 4,000 pounds and would
not be permitted without meeting the performance standards for new or expanding swine operations. You will
need to adjust your numbers down. Once you and your technical specialist have determined operation types
and: numbers that suit your needs without an increase in SSLW, then you would apply to modify your permit.
You would need to have a signed, updated Waste Plan to reflect the new operation type/number, and a signed
certification form to reflect these changes as well. You would submit the request to our central office in Raleigh
for consideration. We would review the application and respond accordingly.
If you need help working through combinations of numbers for different operation types, just give me a call.
The additional structure would be no problem, as long as it meets NRCS standards. This structure can be built
whether or not you modify your operation type.

Melissa,
Sorry for the delay in the response to this issue. Keith and I discussed it this morning and we only have
a couple of issues surrounding the 45 "finishers". Are these replacement gilts or are they finishers?
If they are gilt replacements, then they only need to meet the requirements of 250 sows with a 4 gilt to 3
sow ratio for replacements. Based on these numbers as gilts, they would be fine. But they would need
to be gilts, not just say they are to get around the rules.

e `If they are truly finishers and plan to keep finishers, they should mo0their permitted operation type to
have both Far -Feed and Feed to Finish. For example: 235 Far -Feed and 55 Feed -Fin OR 238 Far -
Feed and 46 Feed -Fin. Whatever balance they want.
The rest of the numbers look fine. In fact, the number of nursery pigs (what you called feeders) is well within
the expected numbers.
If you have any more questions, please let us know.

Keith and Christine,
A&T's current permit is for 250 farrow to feeder swine animals. During their recent inspection, the operator and
I discussed whether they were in compliance with their permit. I must admit, I was a little confused, and Teo
and I thought they were ok in the past but this year it looked like they might have too many (to me). Based on
the following information are they within their permitted limit?
>45 swine, about six months old, less than 220 pounds, "finish"--- are in the new hoop but have controlled
access to outdoor, well -vegetated paddocks.
>55 small, 20 lb. swine, "feeders"--- are in hoop structure near office but have controlled access to outdoor,
well -vegetated paddocks.
>12 sows are on well -vegetated pasture in fenced area.
>196 sows and 150 piglets , "feeders"--- are confined in typical swine houses.
Thanks for your assistance.

Melissa,

Sorry for the delay in theOponse to this issue. Keith and I discu d it this morning and we only have
a couple of issues surrounding the 45 "finishers". Are these replacement gilts or are they finishers?
If they are gilt replacements, then they only need to meet the requirements of 250 sows with a 4 gilt to 3
sow ratio for replacements. Based on these numbers as gilts, they would be fine. But they would need
to be gilts, not just say they are to get around the rules.
If they are truly finishers and plan to keep finishers, they should modify their permitted operation type to
have both Far -Feed and Feed to Finish. For example: 235 Far -Feed and 55 Feed -Fin OR 238 Far -
Feed and 46 Feed -Fin. Whatever balance they want.
The rest of the numbers look fine. In fact, the number of nursery pigs (what you called feeders) is well within
the expected numbers.
If you have any more questions, please let us know.

Keith and Christine,
A&T's current permit is for 250 farrow to feeder swine animals. During their recent inspection, the operator and
I discussed whether they were in compliance with their permit. i must admit, I was a little confused, and Teo
and I thought they were ok in the past but this year it looked like they might have too many (to me). Based on
the following information are they within their permitted limit?
>45 swine, about six months old, less than 220 pounds, "finish"--- are in the new hoop but have controlled
access to outdoor, well -vegetated paddocks.
>55 small, 20 lb. swine, "feeders"--- are in hoop structure near office but have controlled access to outdoor,
well -vegetated paddocks.
>12 sows are on well -vegetated pasture in fenced area.
>196 sows and 150 piglets , "feeders"--- are confined in typical swine houses.
Thanks for your assistance.

I understand that they are pastured; but when it comes to swine it is on a snout count. State General Statute
requires that any number over 250 swine, confined or pastured, must be permitted. Further, any increase in
SSLW is considered an expansion and must meet the Performance Criteria for New or Expanding Swine
Operations. Rules can be found in 15A NCAC 02T .1307-.1309 and 15A NCAC 02D .1808.

The Amadas 1030 irrigation reel at NC&T research facility was calibrated on October 13, 2009.
Present for the calibration were Millie Langley- Guilford Soil and Water Conservation District,
Ben Chase- Guilford Cooperative Extension Service Livestock Agent, Karl Shaffer- NCSU
Waste Management Specialist, and Theo Barrios- NCA&T waste system operator. Winds were
light and measured at 0.5 to 3.8 mph with an average wind speed of 2.1 mph. The calibration was
performed with fresh water away from the swine unit. The following observations were noted:
1) The reel was set up and run as normal for the site. Unknowns for the actual site are:
a. Lane spacing
b. Flow rate (as no defined nozzle was in the irrigation gun)
c. Estimates for these parameters will be assessed based on average conditions and
extrapolation from known values.
2) Rain gauges were set for the calibration run. The estimated wetted diameter was close to
predicted. The wetted diameter was 267 feet with a nozzle pressure of 60 psi measured
with a pitot tube gauge. The reel pressure was 105 psi.
3) The calibration showed good uniformity — 89%. See attached spreadsheet for individual
readings. The average effective depth of catch at the 3.0 feet per minute travel speed was
0.53 inches.
4) Using this average catch, a flow rate can be predicted. Note this method has inherent
errors due to drift of wastewater and other factors. It is used here simply to estimate the
gun discharge rate as no nozzle was installed or specified in the waste management plan.
Using: travel speed (in/min) = 19.3 x sprinkler flow rate (gpm)
lane spacing (ft) x application depth (in)
and rearranging for flow as the unknown, and using an 80% of WD lane spacing (this is
also unknown) we get:
Flow (gpm) = 30 in/min x 213 ft x 0.53 inches = 175 gpm **
19.3
** Note- this can only be verified with a defined nozzle and pressure or a flow meter,
neither of which were available. The nozzle was treated as a taper bore with a 1.07 inch
orifice. It is in fact a ring nozzle with no ring installed.

ROM` (WED>OCT 27 2010 11:37/ST. 11: SO/No. 7620130740 P 3
5) With a flow estimate, the precipitation rate can be calculated:
Precip rate (in/hr) = 96.3 x sprinkler flow rate (gpm) x 360
3.14 x [ 0.9 x sprinkler radius]2 w
where w = gun angle = 180
radius = 133.5 ft
gpm is estimated at 175 gpm
Precipitation rate (inlhr) = 96.3 x 175 x 360 = 0.74 inrhesfhouz
3.14 (120.15)7 x 180
Note- there are several ways to calculate precipitation rate, and several assumptions have been
used here to obtain the flow rate, so this calculation was made simply to see about where this
system is being operated. This flow rate estimate is quite aggressive for these soils. The local
technical specialist should verify the soil type mapped. It appears (see attached map from Web
Soil Survey) that the predominant soil types next to the swine unit are Enon on B and C slopes.
As per MRCS irrigation standards as referenced in the NC Nutrient Management Planning
Manual, Enon classifies as an Irrigation Group 12 soil with a prescribed precipitation rate not to
exceed 0.20 inches per hour, with a maximum application per event of 0.96 inches. While it will
not be hard to meet the maximum per event target, the 0.20 inch per hour goal is extremely
conservative and clearly well under what this system is performing.
There are several ways to approach this issue:
1) See if the soil survey is accurate, i.e. remap the area to see if other soils with higher
irrigation rates are there.
2) Through approval of DWQ- defer the irrigation rate and just define the maximum
irrigation amount in the WUP
3) Through approval of DWQ- define a travel speed and nozzle configuration to lower the
precipitation rate as low as possible. I doubt that this equipment will ever be able to get as
low as 0.20 inches per hour. Consult an irrigation specialist or PE for advice on this.
4) Opening up the gun angle to 300 or 330 degrees reduces the precipitation rate. However,
use caution as this may result in irrigation outside of defined approved areas. Some
operators run a 300 degree angle and back it up to a 180 degree angle for the last 100 or
so feet of the pull.

FROM CWED)OCT 27 2010 11:0GZST.11:3GZH..752G1e074G Y 4
SUMMARY COMMENTS:
The calibration showed a very uniform pattern. The wetted diameter was not near what would be
expected with a 1.08 inch nozzle, however that irrigation gun is not designed for a 1.08 nozzle
and as such no specifications exist for comparison. The pressure gauge on the gun was not
operating properly and a new gauge was used with a pitot tube to check pressure.
An irrigation specialist or P.E. should be consulted to assess the potential for the Amadas reel to
reach the required target irrigation rate of 0.20 inch/hour, after the soil types have been
confirmed locally. However, keep in mind that changes in wetted diameter may affect the
wettable acres parameters and result in lanes that must be treated as excessively spaced lanes.
Perhaps DWQ will waive the irrigation rate limit and focus on the maximurn amount per event.
It also may be prudent to conduct a wettable acres assessment for this plan if one is not present.

Interpret the calibration data and make necessary adjustments.
For travelers with proper overlap and operated in light wind, an application uniformity Coefficient greater than
85 is common.
Application uniformity between 70 to 85 is in the-" good" range and is acceptable for wastewater application.
Generally, an application uniformity- below 70 is considered unacceptable for wastewater irrigation using
travelers. If the computed U,is less than 70, system adjustments are required. Contact your irrigation dealer or
Certified Technical Specialist fat assistance.

Dear NC A&T State University:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
During the Fall or Winter of 2009-2010, a representative of your animal operation informed the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Winston-Salem Regional Office that there was inadequate freeboard in
the waste pond(s) or lagoon(s) serving the facility, The Animal Waste Management Permit (Section 111. No.
13) states that the `Permittee shall report by telephone to the appropriate Division Regional Office as soon
as possible, but in no case more than twenty-four (24) hours following first knowledge of the ... failure to
maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage pond greater than or equal to that required in.. -this General
Permit." We appreciate the fact that you reported the problem of high waste level as required by your
permit and have worked with our staff to manage the problem once it occurred.
While we recognize the extraordinary weather conditions existing at the time, the lack of adequate
freeboard reported to our office still represents non-compliance with the Certificate of Coverage issued to
your facility. As you are aware, this non-compliance is subject to appropriate enforcement action by DWQ.
The factors that lead to non-compliance, efforts to notify DWQ of the problem, efforts made to resolve the
problem once identified, and efforts proposed to prevent future problems have all been factors in our
decision regarding enforcement. Upon review and consideration of the information submitted and/or
discussed with DWQ staff, the Winston-Salem Regional Office has determined that a Notice of Deficiency
(NOD) is appropriate and that no further compliance/enforcement actions will be taken by the Division for
the high waste levels occurring between October 2009 and March 2010,
. In the future, please -continue to evaluate ways to maintain freeboard levels in the required range.
This may include, but is not limited to, water conservation practices, adding additional application sites,
updating your cropping systems, adding additional and 1 or more flexible application equipment, and main-

Re: Hoop Structure Questions
Permit # AWS410012
Guilford County
Dear Mr. Moses,
This letter is in response to questions you had about regulations concerning the
construction of a hoop structure to serve as a shelter for swine that are pasture based. Your main
concerns were the regulations applicable to the Swine Farm Siting Act.
The Siting Act addresses construction of new houses, lagoons, and sprayfields that serve
swine farms. The question in this case relates to the use of the hoop structure. During the site
visit. on February 22, 2009, you indicated that the. structure would be used to shelter pasture
based swine only during periods of inclement weather and during feeding.
If the hoop structure is operated as proposed, it is the Division's opinion that the structure
will not meet the statutory definition of a swine house. Please be advised that the Division has
no enforcement authority related to the Siting Act, and that our opinion will not protect the
University from 3rd party actions.
Hopefully this answers your question. If you have any other questions feel free to call
me at [phone] or the Winston-Salem Regional Office at [phone].

Subject: Request for Construction of Swine Hoop Structure
Teo,
In consultation with DWQ staff in the Raleigh's Central Office, we have decided to give A&T the "go
ahead" to submit a PROPOSAL for an amendment to the swine permit to the Winston-Salem
Regional Office. This is based upon our interpretation of Senate Bill 1467 (passed in the 2007
Session of the NC General Assembly). The parts that pertain to your request are Section I.(a), and
143-215.101(b) and Section L(b)
Link to this:
http://h2o.enr.state,nc.us/aps/afou/rules,htm
Our decision to allow you to submit your proposal is based on the fact that we consider the
proposed hoop structure to be covered under the definition of "feedlot" not "animal waste
management system" found in 143-215.1 OB(3) and 143-215.1013(5)
Link to this:
htt://www.ncga.state.ne.us/EnactedLe islation/Statutes/PDF/BySection/Cha ter 143/GS 143-215.10E
That said, per my conversation with Teo, A&T is required to submit the following as part of
their request:
1. Revised irrigation design since the hoop structure is to be built in the northeast corner of irrigation
pull 3-1.
2. Revised WUP since the acreage of pull 3-1 will be reduced by the square footage of the hoop
structure. Also include statements regarding the fact that the remaining part of 3-1 is to receive solid
litter waste and NOT irrigated waste. Also address/state that current pull 3-2 is to receive dry waste
litter and NOT irrigated liquid waste (your acreage will most likely need to be revised since wettable
acres will not be an issue).
3. A detailed drawing and design of the proposed hoop structure.
4.Written certification that the new hoop structure meets siting requirements (see attachment). Part
106-803(a) must specifically be addressed.
5. Documentation that the number of acres required for waste application of the permitted number of
swine is less than the number of acres available for land application of waste.
6. Written certification that the total number of animals in hoop structures, buildings, or on dry lots
(denuded) will not exceed the current permitted number. It it our understanding that twelve sows from
the current primary building are to be moved into the hoop structure?

FEE: Regju� struction of Swine Hoop Structure
Thank you for your interest and consideration of the State's environmental laws by contacting our
office regarding the proposed change to your research projects. We appreciate you taking the initiative
to call and submit your proposal prior to any construction. Please let me know if you have further
questions or need clarification.

Dear Ms. Rosebrock:
This is a request to add one additional hoop shelter at the University's Swine Unit. This is part of the
University continued effort to find solutions to the policy of the State of North Carolina to eliminate
lagoons and spray fields. It will be of particular use to the small swine farms in the state that are
searching for optimum practices and breeds suited for outdoor swine production.
The unit will not be a permanent confinement building, or "swine house" as defined by N.C.
law 106-802 (c). It has no walls, no fans, and no flushing. Instead it would be a shelter from adverse
weather and a place to feed and water the outside animals which will be mainly on pasture and in the
wood lots, and for farrowing. It will be located in the northeast corner of field #58, formerly field 3 in the
January 2006 Waste Utilization Plan (WUP). We have other places it could possibly be located, but this
is the only location for access to grazing and the wood lots. Also, it would interfere far less with our
irrigation plan.
Animals will graze in field 57 (as they are now) and on a part of field 58, formerly irrigation pull 3-1 in
the January 2006 plan. The last WUP is revised to (1) replace the numbering of the past irrigation pulls
with the Farm's identification symbols, (2) delete the past pull 3-1 from the irrigated area, (3) recalculate
wastewater and solid waste application areas, and (4) to calculate solid manure for animals not confined,
that is, those in the two hoop shelters. The original pulls 3-2 and 3-3 will continue to be used for
wastewater irrigation.
The following are submitted as part of this request (as outlined by your 1-18-08 email):
1. A revised irrigation design map showing the land application areas.
2. A revised WUP to update the numbers and delete the old pull 3-1.
3. A detailed drawing of the proposed hoop shelter.
4. As to the certification requirement for "Swine house citing requirements", this
is not applicable above.
5. The acres required for liquid and solid waste application are included in the
WUP.
6. A separate certification addresses the 250 permitted sow limit.
We appreciate your support of our research effort. I trust this answers your questions.

Dear Melissa:
We are presently revising some of the swine unit's research and operational protocols
that will require some adjustments to our waste plan. As such, this is to certify that the
total number of sows in hoop structures, buildings and dry lots will not exceed the current
permit number (250).
Thank you.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: NCA&T State University, Porcine Research Laboratory
Location: 717 7FH Dairy Road, Greensboro, NC, Telephone [phone]
Type Operation: Research facility
Design Capacity: 250 sows (confined and outside)
Waste Treatment: Primarily two anaerobic lagoons with wastewater irrigation;
Application of solid manure from animals in the hoop structure; and a research project of
a constructed wetland with discharge into a storage pond.
GENERAL OPERATION:
This is a 250 sow operation, generally a farrow -feeder pig operation that has been in
existence since October 1, 1980. This facility is a research laboratory and is not the
standard production operation. The primary buildings house up to 210 sows. Waste from
this facility is flushed into two anaerobic lagoons, then irrigated on the land. In addition
to the primary buildings there is a hoop structure with up to 12 sows farrowing twice
yearly. Also, there are up to 48 sows kept on pasture lots —fields 2&3, and in the wood
lots. A maximum of 100 animals are expected to be in feeding trials, both confined in
the hoop structure and unconfined on pasture.
In addition to animal breeding and feeding trials, current research involves a constructed
wetland with outflow from the wetlands into a storage pond. Water from the storage
pond is used to flush the primary facility. Like most research this effort maybe
temporary in nature, ending once the research objectives have been achieved or sooner if
funds become unavailable. For this reason the wetlands have not been used in the
nitrogen accounting in this plan although they currently remove up to 3000 pounds of
nitrogen per year.
Animals confined in buildings.
• 210 sows confined in primary buildings, average weight 300#, 315 days breeding
and gestation, 50 days in farrowing
• 5000 pigs per year from the primary building, most sold as feeder pigs, average
wt. 25#, sold at 65 days. Manure from nursing pigs has been calculated. .
0 10 boars @ 400# confined continuously in primary buildings
• 60 replacement gilts per year average wt. 140# in finishing unit).
Unconfined Animals
• Twelve sows with option of going to 24 sows to farrow primarily in the hoop
shelters, 10 piglets per litter, twice a year.
• Pigs to generally be sold as feeder pigs, with the option to raising some to
finishing weight (220#) in feeding trials.
Page i (rev 2-08)

PAN PER YEAR FROM ANIMALS CONFINED IN PRIMARY BUILDINGS
Based on the number of animals in the primary facility, there are 8,997 pounds of
excreted N per year. All waste is flushed into lagoon 1, then lagoon 2. Plant available
nitrogen was calculated by the following assumptions.
• N loss of 10% in the buildings
• Lagoon #1 loss of 50%, lagoon #2 loss at 50%
• Plant available Nat 58% (NCDA uses 45 to 71 %)
• No losses taken for the constructed wetlands and the storage pond
Thus the theoretical residual is 1310# PAN per year from the confined animals.
However, records from NCDA for 2007 indicate 0.41# and 0.47# PAN from lagoon 2 &
1 respectively, and our research values show of 50 and 70 mg TN/1 respectively for
lagoon 2 and lagoon 1.
PAN PER YEAR FROM UNCONFINED ANIMALS IN THE HOOP SHELTERS.
• Normally twelve sows (with option of 24 sows) farrowing twice a year, average
wt. 300#
• Ten pigs per sow each farrowing, usually sold as feeder pigs @ 42 days with
option of: Alternatively finishing out to 220# in the feeding trials
• When manure is removed, 80% of N remains (20% Ioss)
• During application, 90% of applied N remains; with 65% mineralization in year
The alternative of increasing the sow numbers and the feeding trials has been calculated
in this plan in order to give the maximum nitrogen produced.. At this time, there are 853
pounds of nitrogen excreted per year and 63.4 tons of manure In conclusion, the PAN
will be a maximum of 396# per yr., and a minimum of 110#1
LAND APPLICATION AREAS FOR WASTEWATER IRRIGATION
Table lA gives the various fields and irrigation pulls with gross and net irrigated areas.
Net areas exclude required buffers, filter strips, odd areas unable to receive irrigation, aid
perimeter areas not receiving full application rates.
Tables 2B gives crops to be grown and the allowable N.
Table 3 gives the animal waste application windows for the various crops
LAND APPLICATION AREAS FOR SPREADING SOLID MANURE
There are 47.52 acres of cropland covered by this plan on the east side of 3FH Dairy
Road and as of now only 24.2 acres of this are net irrigated area for wastewater
application. The remaining land can be used for manure from the hoops, see table 1 B
and 2 . Additionally, there are 23.3 acres of land (Field 29) on the main farm which can
b sed as an alternate site if necessary for solid manure or compost and sludge,
making a total land application area for solid manure o 3 acre .
WOODLOTS AND PASTURE AREAS. These must be kept vegetated at all times..

NITROGEN SUMMARY
19194 PAN
• _There is a maximum 1310# PAN per year from animals confined in the primary
buildings which will be irrigated as wastewater from the lagoons. Using conservative
values of 60# of allowable nitrogen per acre for fields 50, 52, 55, 58; and 120 pounds of
PAN for field 47, the total PAN allowed for these fields is 1919 pounds.
• Manure collected from the animals_ in the hoops_ will contain from 110# to 396 pounds
of PAN per year (depending on the number of animals) and will be broadcast on the land
in Table 1B.
• As discussed on page 2, most irrigation is from lagoon 2, which in 2007 had an average
concentration of about 50 mg N/l, or 0.402 # per 1,000 gallons (NCDA). if irrigation is
from lagoon #l, the average concentration here in 2007 was only about 70 mgN/l. , or
0.47# per 1,000 gallons. These concentrations are measured monthly as part of the
wetlands research. To summarize, these numbers indicate the low nitrogen
concentrations in the lagoons, indicating the PAN values available for crop irrigation
calculated herein are very conservative.

1. The crops noted in Table 2A,and 2B for grazing and harvesting will
undoubtedly be changed due to weather, seeding failures etc. and the need to
vary the diet for the pigs involved in the feeding trials. Also, small grain has
been used as a generic term so that crops like oats, wheat, rye, barley etc. can
be used without a violation of the Waste Utilization Plan, as long as the
allowable N values are not exceeded.
2. Vegetables are listed for grazing in Table 2A, and again this is a generic term
which includes vegetables like (but not limited to) cowpeas, squash,
pumpkins, Zucchini, and green beans. Substitutions can be made as long as the
allowable N values are not exceeded.
3. All soils are Enon fine sandy loam.
PASTURE AREAS
There are several pasture areas, the one east of the confinement buildings, field 57, and
part of field 58.. These are not to receive ally manure by wastewater irrigation or solid
manure by spreader. .
As long as vegetation is maintained in good condition these lots can be lightly grazed.
However if the vegetation matures or is destroyed by the animals, then the animals must
be removed and the area revegetated. Any of the crops shown in Table 2B are
allowable. However, fescue is the recommended crop.

Dear Richard Phillips:
The Division of Water Quality (Division) received your sludge survey information on December
19, 2007. With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement
for the primary lagoon at the NC A&T Porcine Research Laboratory 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 the primary lagoon only. 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 students calibrated our irrigation rig at the Swine Unit on November 8, 2007. Here
are the results:
• 62 psi at the gun
• Flow of 129 gpm
• Coefficient of uniformity of 65.9% at a 224 foot spacing.
There was a high wind during the irrigation which really decreased the coefficient.

Dear North Carolina A&T University:
The Division of Water Quality {Division) received your request for a minor modification of the
NC A&T Porcine Research Laboratory waste collection system and an updated Animal Waste
Management Plan Certification form on November 26, 2007, The Division agrees that the
conversion to the larger containment basin would be a minor modification would not have an
impact on the waste treatment and does not require a permit modification. You may proceed
with the proposed changes. Please notify the Winston-Salem Regional Office Aquifer Protection
Section staff when the construction is complete. If you have any questions regarding this matter,
you may contact me at [phone].

Dear Melissa,
To follow up on our phone conversation, this is to bring you up to date on our plans for additional
research at the A&T Swine Unit. Our proposed research would not in any way alter the
conditions of our permit —that is, there will to be no discharge of pollutants to surface or sub-
surface waters, and no increase in swine numbers. It is directed toward the new State policy that
"lagoons in the State are to be phased out". Our research is an effort to find a practical,
s environmental solution to this issue for our swine producers.
Our effort will be directed to researching the ways to remove the solids from the waste stream so
that the liquids can be directed to a constructed wetland. To do this, we need to be able to collect
all the wastewater from a single flush from the breeding and gestation unit, or from any of the 3
farrowing units, or from the any of the nurseries, or from the finishing unit.
Rather than try to collect this at 11 different locations, our plan would be to collect the flush
water from any of these sources at a common location. To do this, we will be replacing collection
basin #3, a 48"x48" basin, with an alternate basin, about twice as large in area and deeper, large
enough to collect and hold an 850 gallon flush. We would capture no more than one flush per
week, perhaps less. The collected wastewater would be treated to remove the solids. The
remaining liquid would be discharged right'back into the supply line to the lagoon. Almost all the
time (except when we are collecting a sample), the wastewater from the buildings would just flow
unrestricted through the basin. -
Again, this new basin is to further our research on the management of swine waste. Attached is a
simple drawing of our basin.
Thank you for you interest in our effort.

J. R.,
We are starting some new research here at A&T to determine the feasibility of separating solids from
the wastewater from the buildings. I ran this by Melissa last Thursday and she said it would not change
the terms of our permit, in that there would be no increase in swine numbers, no discharge etc.
However, she said it would be a slight change in our piping to the lagoon in that we would increase the
size of our #3 collection basin. All this is explained in the attached letter I sent to Melissa yesterday, Oct
29th.
I write because the University Engineer needs assurance from DWQ that this will not violate our permit.
And, since Melissa is on leave all this week, and since she said she would be forwarding this on to you,
hopefully this will expedite it all. (I am copying Melissa on all this).
We would like to build this basin very soon, before freezing weather, thus the hurry in receiving the go
ahead.
Please look over, and call me if you have questions. An email reply to me would be sufficient, all we
need is to say is that we will still be in compliance with our Waste Management Plan and Permit.

Teo, it was good meeting you a couple of weeks ago. I reviewed your
last 2 years of soil sample reports and pulled 3 problem samples while I
was there on February 20th. Sample 55 came from the the field with no
problems, sample 51 BAD came from the thin areas in the field and 51 GOO
came from the best areas of field 51. Your soil pH came back a little
high but that would not cause any problems in your soil type with high
levels of manganese. The nutritional status of all your fields look
very good. Sulfur is low and is something you will want to watch on
future reports but would not contribute to a poor stand.
Geese damage is most likely the reason for your poor stand. Geese
are causing more and more damage in small grain fields each year.
Shooting them or disturbing them soon after landing (and being persisent
in doing this) is about the only way to manage them. With the poor
stand of grain you will experience greater weed pressure.
Let me know if you need more information. Keep up the good work.

Subject: Application for Renewal of Coverage for Expiring NPDES General Permit
Dear Permittee:
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 http://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]
I_n order to assure your continued coverne under one of these two types of general permits, you must submit an application for permit
coverage to the Division. Enclosed you will find a `Request for Certificate of Coverage Facility Currently Covered by an Expiring
NPDES General Permit.' The application form must be completed and returned by January 2, 2007. Please note, you 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

Hey Melissa,
I noticed a couple of things when I glanced over their calibration. They said it
was a 320 ft. wetted diameter, yet their rain gauge readings only went out to about
220-240 ft. It appears they only ran the traveler 100 ft. when they should have
went 320 ft.
I thought they got a new traveler recently, but I couldn't remember the design
specifications. You might ask Daphne to look over the calibration and see what she,
thinks.
Take care,
Rocky

Hey Rocky,
I've been reviewing the documentation that Dick Phillips sent and it doesn't
match what I have in their WUP. The most recent irrgation data that I have is
dated 1997 and 2005. In the 1997 WUP they report a gun pressure of 40psi while
their submitted calibration was 62psi.
Their WUP dated January 2005 states that the application rate is 1.07
inches/hour with a flow of 153 gpm. The submitted calibration lists an
application rate of 0.53 inches and a flow rate of 220 gpm.
Can you take a look or give me a call and tell me what you think? Thanks.

For travelers with proper overlap and operated in light wind, an application uniformity. Coefficient greater than
85 is common.
Application uniformity between 70 to 85 is in the "good" range and is acceptable for wastewater application.
Generally, an application uniformity below 70 is considered unacceptable for wastewater irrigation using
travelers. If the computed U.is less than 70, system adjustments are required. Contact your irrigation dealer or

We have now completed our sludge survey for our two lagoons_ Attached are the
calculation sheets.
Here are our findings:
Lagoon 4 1
• This the primary lagoon, area 0.'81 acres
• Eight points were sampled
• Average depth of sludge was 3.3 feet
• There is 7.6 feet of depth above the sludge to the transfer pipe
Lagoon #2
• This is the secondary lagoon, receiving flow from -74r1
• Area is 0.52 acres
• Eight points were sampled
• No sludge was found
Waste storaze pond.
This not a lagoon, as it does not receive wastewater from the. buildings or directly
from lagoon #2. Its function is to store runoff from our constructed wetlands -
However, we did sample for sludge.
• Surface area is 1.6 acres
• No sludge was found
• The storage pond was almost dry, thus most of the bottom of the pond was
visible. (The water had been used for crop irrigation).
Conclusions:
Based on our findings, we request we be exempt from a sludge survey in the future for
lagoon 72 and for our storage pond.
Sincerely

Hi Melissa
Wastewater irrigation calibration. With all this dry weather, it does not look like we will be
irrigating this season, at least that is the way it looks now. We did irrigate 13 hours early in the
year, but now the lagoons are rather low. So, can the irrigation calibration be waived for this year if
we do not have enough wastewater to irrigate?
The calibration requirement is based on a calender year. So if you irrigate any time within 2006
(which it sounds like you did), the irrigation system must be calibrated.
Number 2. Composting
We now finally have our composting pad installed, and are ready for composting. We have very
little manure in the hoop structure, so would it be okay to bring some manure from the main farm for
the composting research? It would not be much, and we would keep track of the amount brought
over, and the amount of resulting compost. (The pad is only 40 x 40 feet.)
Sounds ok to me. Just make a note in the waste records as you mentioned_
Soil remediation. Last, there are two areas south and southeast of the Swine Unit buildings which
have been returned to crop production. One was the outside farrowing huts (over flushing pits). and
the other was where the old feeder pig shed was before it was removed. Both areas are now
mostly subsoil, and do not want to grow anything. As a matter of fact, the germination of corn this
spring was less than 5 %. So, we really need to add a lot of bedded manure to these. Would this
be okay with you? Since we have so little manure in the hoop structure some would have to
brought over from the main farm, however, we would document it.
This is ok. too. However, if you anticipate applying animal waste (once the crop is established) from
the swine unit, you would need to add this acreage/field to the waste plan.

Dear Teo Barrios:
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received .your sludge survey information on July
8, 2005. With your results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement for
Lagoon #2 and the waste storage pond at NC A&T University. Due to the amount of treatment
volume available, DWQ agrees that a sludge survey of Lagoon #2 is not needed until 2007. The
2007 sludge survey must be performed by December 31, 2007, and the results are to be
submitted with the Annual Certification Form that will be due on March 1, 2008.
The NPDES General Permit does not require a survey of the waste storage pond, so there
is no need for future surveys of this structure. Be advised that Lagoon 41 must be surveyed
again by December 31, 2006. This survey should be submitted with the Annual Certification
Form that is due March 1, 2007

We have now completed our sludge survey for our two lagoons. Attached are the data
and calculation sheets. Here are our findings:
Lagoon # 1
• This the primary lagoon, area 0.81 acres
• Eight points were sampled
• Average depth of sludge was 3.3 feet
• There is 7.6 feet of depth above the sludge to the transfer pipe
Lagoon #2
• This is the secondary lagoon, receiving flow from #l, area 0.52 acres
• Eight points were sampled
• No sludge was found
• There is 10.9 feet available as treatment volume at this time.
Waste storage pond.
This not a lagoon, as it does not receive wastewater from the buildings or from lagoon
#2. Its function is to store runoff from our constructed wetlands.
However, we did look for sludge.
• Surface area is 1.6 acres
• No sludge was found
The storage pond was almost dry, thus most of the bottom of the pond was
visible. (The water had been used for crop irrigation).
Conclusions:
Based on our findings, we request we be exempt from a sludge survey in the future for
lagoon #2 r our storage pond.

Appendix 3. Sludge Volume Worksheet.
The average thickness of the sludge layer is determined from information on the Lagoon 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 then 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 area to a square shape.

Re: Revisions to A&T Waste Mgt Plan
Melissa
I am really tied up with a number of projects as of now and for the next 6 weeks or so.
So, if it will okay with you, I will revise the plan as needed in probably December.
These are the things I think are needed as of now.
1. Add incinerator to the mortality plan.
2. Correct the soybeans error in the one table.
3. Revise the pulls in fields 4 & 5 now that the composting -grass research is
finished..
4. Revise the map to show the revised pulls.
Let me know if you can think of anything else.
I am enclosing my irrigation analysis of "Instantaneous application rate" which I
promised.

Dear Rocky,
De..1) of I...HIN; i
Mnston--Sadem
.+Regional Offlc.-C
I apologize for the long delay in answering your request for the precipitation rate for our
traveling gun at A&T's Swine Unit. Truthfully, I had misfiled it, and it seemed I never
could find the 4 hours or so to locate it. Finally I did. So, attached are the calculation
sheets for the formula and for our particular application rate.
One thing I notice. The wider arcs of the irrigation gun give far Iower application rates.
Obviously the gun can't be set on a 360 degree rotation, but the closer one gets to this,
the lower the rate. In my example, a 180 degree arc for our situation gives 1.01" per
hour, and a 270 degree rotation gives only 0.72" per Dour. This fact I will stress to our
personnel at the Swine in the future. It is one thing which will lessen runoff. In the
past, they have resorted to increasing the travel speed as the only way to avoid runoff.
This new approach is another alternative. The only possible problem with the wider arcs
is at the end of each run, when the sprinkler gun is pulled up to the reel. However, I
believe we can increase the arc from what we have done in the past.
Sincerely,
Richard L. Phillips

Hi Melissa
The funding did not work out for the composing of the manure from the Hoop Structure. Thought I should
tell you. Some of our researchers hope to probably do it in 2005. Will let you knowif they secure the
funds.
The two waterways along the roadway just west of the woodlots are pretty well vegetated except for a very
small area at the lower end of one of them.. We plan to add some rock to this while the rill is still small
and this should do the trick.
We have not been able to secure vigorous vegetation on the top of lagoon #2. We took a soil sample of it
recently jto see if there is a problem with the soils.. The top was raised last year with material hauled on
the farm from a site originally in Greensboro. I do not know if that was the problem, but in any event we
are not satisfied with the grass. We did plant it, it came up okay, but it is just not vigorous. The Swine Unit
crew have not damaged it with tractors as they did before.
Just thought I should bring you up to date on these items.
By the way, when are you coming for your next visit?

Hi Melissa
Thank you for coming over to see our proposed composting research and your interest in this. Attached
is a short writeup on this. Please look over and give me any possible comments.
It seems to me that the compost would be fantastic for all the vegetable research taking place at the
University farm, and we would like to use a portion of it for this purpose. However, the bulk of the
compost would just be spread by box spreader on the fields covered by our Waste Mgt. Plan.

COMPOSTING RESEARCH
SWINE UNIT
NC A&T State University
June 4, 2004
This research would compost the manure from the Hoop Structure on a concrete pad just
west of the present equipment sheds.
WHEN: Start July 2004
End December 2004
Composting will occur on a concrete pad, 40 x 50 feet, approximately 0.05 acres.
Any leachate and runoff from the pad will flow south into a small depression along the
pad. If sufficient runoff accumulates, it will flow over a "level lip spreader" (to be
constructed) and then will travel in a southwesterly direction over fescue for 270 feet
before entering the road ditch along the drive into the Swine Unit.
Sheet flow will occur as the water moves down this slope, allowing infiltration and
assimilation of nutrients. The site will be monitored to check for erosion of the fescue
and possible channeling. If this occurs, corrective actions will be undertaken.
At the end of the project, a limited amount of composted manure will be used on the
University farm on research plots for vegetables. The bulk of the compost however will
be spread on Swine Unit land included in the Waste Management Plan. In any event,
none will leave the University farm.

Hey Paul,
This is a request from A&T. I don't have a problem with their request as long as it's just through
the end of the year and they berm the compost area with sediment (clay). The hoop structure is
where they have pigs under a plastic structure (like a greenhouse). You see any problems with
them and their permit??

Yes, there would be an estimated 400 feet of fescue, a very good dense stand, between the
composting pad and the nearest channel, which is actually the road ditch along the driveway. The
pad dimensions are not firm yet, but it would have to be large enough to stack the manure from the
Hoop Structure on one half of it, allowing turning on a weekly basis. At the most, there would
probably be only 1500 square feet total which could contribute runoff, or about 0.04 acre.
Yes, the solid waste would be stacked on the pad as stated above and kept there during the
research period.
Hope this answers your questions.

East lot. Approximately one half acre.
As long as vegetation is maintained in good condtion (as it is April 2004 in the a st lot),
it can be lightly grazed.. However if the vegetation is destroyed b ,
maximum allowable time for animals to be on a lot is one year. After the anima s are
removed (for a minimum of one year) the area must be planted to a crop wy Ich must

be used without a violation of the Ag Waste Management Plan, as long as
the allowable N values are not exceeded.
2. Vegetables are listed for grazing in Table 2A, and again this is a generic term

Hi Melissa 4-8-04
The lots are shown on the overall map of the Swine Unit but they are not numbered. However, they are
just shown as two dry lots --one just north of the buildings, and one east of the buildings. These lots are
for hog confinement, and are not for wastewater application.
Yes, I am saying both lots can be grazed as long as vegetation is maintained (good cover at all times).
If (as in the past) they place too many animals in them, especially during the winter and during wet
conditions, the vegetation is destroyed and they become "dry" lots. This requires that the pigs must
then be removed after one year, and the area revegetated and left vacant for one year.
Hopefully this will answer your questions. If not, please call me at 336 697 8663. 1 am almost always
here the first thing in the mornings, and in the afternoon say after 3 p.m.
Oh yes, I believe it would be best to amend the plan to show all this. Do you agree?
Thanks, Dick Phillips

Hi Melissa 4-2-04
We have just vacated the dry lot north of the Swine Unit buildings and are in the process of vegetating
it. I just realized that this lot as well as the east lot are not covered by our Waste Mgt Plan. So,
attached is a revised page 6 which addresses this. Can you please look this over and see if it is
okay? Then I will submit a formal revision. NOTE: You will not see page 6 shown at the bottom of the
page, we will add this with a typewriter later.
Another item.
We are about ready to redo the drive along the woodlots, with waterways planned on both sides of the
drive. Hope to build it this month and get it seeded . We were fortunate to have Daphne Cartner come
over and she and Millie Langley suggested this approach. I think it will work out great.

Dear Dr. McKinnie:
The Winston-Salem office of the Division of Water Quality appreciates your prompt response to the
Division's Notice of Violation/Notice of Intent to Enforce letter generated as a result of permit violations
observed during a compliance inspection performed at NC A&T State University's porcine facility on
September 17, 2003. The University's response indicates recognition of the referenced animal waste
management concerns and violations and a desire for the opportunity to resolve these issues through
implementation of several recent changes described in your response dated December 18, 2003. Key changes
include: revising and adherence to the waste utilization plan (WUP), more thorough recordkeeping, repair of the
lagoon embankments, and a commitment to preventing the discharge of pollutants and sediment to surface
waters.
The Winston-Salem Regional Office has reviewed your written response and has decided, at this point,
not to pursue further enforcement action against you for the previously referenced violations. Upon a future
inspection, a final decision will be made regarding these previous violations in addition to any new violations
that may be observed.
If you have further questions concerning this matter, please contact Melissa Rosebrock or me at (336)

Re: DWQ Notice of Violation, Nov 16, 2003 for NCA&T State University
Dear Mr. Tedder,
I am writing in response to violations noted in your Notice of Violation of November 26,
2003. Our response is late due to a recent death in my family. We discussed the lateness
of this reply with Ms. Melissa Rosebrock and appreciate her understanding.
The following comments are provided in the way of an explanation as to actions taken
since the September 17th inspection, and actions taken to prevent future deficiencies.
They are as follows:
Item #1
Failure to properly maintain and operate the land application equipment is a
violation......
Response. As previously stated to DWQ, a new irrigation reel/gun system was
purchased to replace the old reel and gun, which were not operating properly. The new
system was superior in that the rate of travel was again within specifications and the
increased pressure at the gun provided a much improved distribution. Thus, we believe
the new reel and gun are in keeping with the requirements to "properly operate.........".
We do not interpret II-1 as requiring recalibration and thus, we do not consider this a
violation. However, we did recalibrate the system on October 2, 2003 and a letter was
provided to Melissa Rosebrock to inform her of our action.
Item #2
Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations of the CAWMP is a violation of the
swine permit (Section V, #S)
Response.
We agree that the crops for pulls 5-1, 3-3, 3-4, and 3-2 were not those listed in Table 2A
and Table 2B. However, the Notes following Table 2-C (page 5b, Rev. 9-01) address this,
and in our opinion provide flexibility and for this reason, we do not consider this a
violation. We are currently completing a revision the CAWMP and have worked closely
Employment and program opportunities are offered to all people regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability.
North Carolina State University, North Carolina A&T State University, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and local governments cooperating.

with Ms. Rosebrock to address her concerns and recommendations. Our new plan will
list all the possible crops, many in generic terms. Further, if changes in cropping are
needed in the future, the Plan will be revised and submitted to DWQ for review and
approval before they are initiated.
As to the turf fescue research taking place in field 5, an area of 80' x 225", this did not
preclude irrigating the lower part of this field, thus the statement "pulls 5-1 and 5-2 were
not available for irrigation" is not entirely correct. The revised plan eliminates field 5
from irrigation until the present research is finished. Again, this is a research facility, not
a standard farrow -feeder operation, and its proposed crops/crop rotations do not fit the
standard cropping system used by commercial .swine producers. Thus, the crops will
vary according to the research protocol.
Item #3
"Failure to prevent a discharge of pollutants to surface waters .....is a violation of
Section 191... "
Response.
We were aware of the erosion problem along the west side of the b woodlots and the
resulting sediment. As to manure runoff, animals were excluded from the 3 southern lots
after the spring compliance inspection, thus we do not believe there was manure runoff.
As to erosion, the ditch was reshaped several times during the summer, but the excessive
rainfalls prevented stabilization. The sediment from the erosion was deposited near the
fence line at the north end of field #1. From there, flow entered field #1 and thus into the
woods. Considering the deposition, which occurred and the buffering capacity of grass
and woods, we do not believe we had a discharge of pollutants to waters of the State.
Thus, we do not consider this a violation.
We will be meeting with the Guilford County Soil and Water Conservation District and
the NC Division of Soil and Water on January 15, 2004 to develop a permanent solution.
It is not an easy problem to solve, in that the driveway for feeding and the west end of
each lot occurs at a low point, or waterway. In any event, animals will be excluded from
the lower 3 pens until a permanent solution has been installed. In the revised Plan,
animals will only be stocked in the woodlots for farrowing in July and August.
Item #4
"Failure to establish and maintain a protective vegetative cover on the lagoon
embankment ....Section A #10... .... swine permit"

Page 3
Mr. Steve W. Tedder
Water Quality Supervisor-WSRO
December 18, 2003
Response.
December 18, 2003We disagree that this is a violation. We do agree that the tops of the
embankments did lack a complete cover, but the remaining portion of the embankments
comprising 95% or more did have excellent cover. The vegetation on the top itself, about
10 feet wide, was damaged by traffic to turn on and off the recycle pump in the waste
storage pond. It would be nice to have an excellent cover on the entire top of the
embankments, but this has not been feasible in our case due to twice daily traffic. Since
the September inspection, the area was seeded once again and this time we have a good
cover (pictures enclosed). We feel there was a protective vegetative cover on all critical
areas of the lagoon embankments and thus, we do not believe we were in violation.
We are taking the necessary steps to eliminate the traffic (and rutting during wet weather)
on the tops of the lagoon embankments. These are. (1) prohibit tractor traffic except for
mowing and maintenance, and (2) change the recycle pump to an automatic operation,
which we believe is feasible.
Item #5.
"Failure to have these documents onsite is a violation ... ... ... of the ...permit"
Response.
This is correct. We would only say that if a copy of the permit had been transmitted
directly to the Swine Unit Manager, the Technical Specialist, and the Chair, Animal
Sciences, this would not have happened. Our recommendation to you is that in the future
these positions be added to your distribution list.
Item #6.
"Failure to record weekly lagoon levels ...Stage 2 and "Wetland"..... "
We agree that the lagoon levels were not recorded on the approved form, as the Swine
Unit Manager was not aware of this requirement. However, Mr. Ford did observe lagoon
levels daily in his trips to the recycle pump and, although not recording them on the
required form, he did observe them and continued to irrigate such that no violation of the
freeboard requirements occurred. Mr. Ford was made aware of this requirement on
September 17, 2003, by Ms. Rosebrock, and has been recording the levels since that time.
Also, we note the term "Wetland" in your letter. We believe this to mean the storage
pond, sometimes referred to as Lagoon #3.

Summary.
We sincerely appreciate the efforts of Melissa Rosebrock to assist us with revising our
CAWMP. She has been quite helpful.
It is our belief and desire that the Winston Salem Regional Office should decline to
recommend another enforcement action against the University, based on the explanations
provided above, the management changes made, by the University, to improve oversight.
Most of the items mentioned in your Notice of Violation are being addressed in our
revision of the CAWMP, which is to be completed this month. Lastly, we believe that
the violations noted were minor technical items, such as record keeping, which did not
pose a threat to the state's waters or compromise water quality.
We appreciate the opportunity to respond and if any of our faculty and staff working at
the Swine Unit or myself can be of further assistance or clarification, please do not
hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,

MEETING- j12-403
Libby, Martin, Talbott, Ford, Eliza, Jackie, and Phillips s'a
AGREED ITEMS
1. Manure from hoop structure to stay on farm, that is , the area east of JFDairy Road.
Harold Martin says their manure spreader is still okay for use. To move the manure off
the farm requires a signed lease agreement and a plan for the area the manure will be
transported to and this is not practical for such.a small amount. Additionally, manures �
is needed on A&T s 13 acres not irrigated. ? L le'ot'
2. Agreed that manure nitrogen quantities will be refigured to finish out the pigs born in
the structure. Plan is for two farrowings a year, 12 sows per farrowing. In this way, there
will be enough manure calculated to include any gilts or boars which might be
temporarily confined there for the Small Farms project.
3. Agreed that the manure from the hoop structure will continue to be sent to NCDA for
analysis every time before removal. G�
4. Agreed that corn will only be grown in field #6 alongside JF Dairy Road and will not be
indicated for apy of other fields in the Plan revision. Agreed that tropical corn will not
be grown. ,
5. Agreed that pull -1 is okay as is covering the north one half of the pasture area. Agreed
that pull 3-2 is not feasible due to permanent fencing. Instead, pull 3-2 will be moved to
the center of the fenced area of field 3, but will irrigate only to the south (to avoid
overlapping the irrigation from pull 3-1), covering one fourth of the area. Agreed that
present pull 3-4 will be moved up next to the fence tine, a move northward of about 100
feet, and the length will stay the same, that is 350 feet. Thus, it will irrigate to the north
into the pasture area(covering the rest of the pasture), and south into the cropped area. It
does not appear feasible at this time to lengthen this run beyond 350 feet due to the wet
low area at the west end.
6. Agreed that twelve sows will farrow in woodlots 1,2,&3(the north lots) this summer in -,
July and August and in fiiture years. Sows and piglets would be then moved out
�thle�'c_
_
lots would only be used 2 months each year. / &�
7. Agreed that the lower three wood lots will also be used for summer farrowing a'
waterway is stabilized and the fence line on the lower three lots is moved farther back
into the woods, all as discussed with Melissa Rosebrock.
8. Agreed that at each of the driveways into the wood lots, culvert -drop inlets will be
installed, thus removing most of the vertical drop and reducing the grade. A new
channel would then be graded at flat slope between each culvert and seeded. This should
stabilize the present 4% slope. An alternative of a grass waterway was discussed, but due
to heavy tractor traffic this will be difficult to maintain and is not as permanent.
9. Present dry lots north of the buildings will be vacated in March with the pigs going to the
pasture lots. The area will be seeded with warm season grasses, and cannot be used again
for a minimum of one year. Agreed that these lots will not be irrigated.
10. Agreed that field 42 (the integrated plots) will be left out of the irrigation plan —that is,
{� there will be no wastewater irrigation on this area
\ 11. Agreed that field 45 is not feasible to irrigate as long as the fescue research continues and
the plan will be revised to remove it from irrigation. (The present phase of this research
ends in September 2004.)
12. Although not discussed by the group, the irrigation pattern in field l will be revised.
Pull 1-1 will be replaced with two pulls each 170 feet wide running east -west. One
would be 580' long, and one would be 700' long. Pull 1-2 stays the same.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: NCA&T State University, Porcine Research Laboratory
Location: 717 JFH Dairy Road, Greensboro, NC
Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: Research facility
Design Capacity: 250 sows (confined and unconfined)
Waste Treatment: Primarily two anaerobic lagoons with wastewater irrigation plus
land application of solid manure from unconfined animals
GENERAL OPERATION:
This is a 250 sow operation, generally a farrow -feeder pig operation. It has been in
existence since October 1, 1980. This facility is a research laboratory and is not the
standard production operation. The primary buildings house up to 190 sows. Waste
from this facility is flushed into two anaerobic lagoons, then irrigated on the land. The
"outside" operation has up to 60 sows with part of these confined in a hoop structure but
most are outside on pasture or wood lots.
In addition to animal breeding and feeding research, current research involves a
constructed wetland with outflow to a storage pond. Water from the storage pond is used
to flush the primary facility. Like most research this effort is temporary in nature, ending
once the research objectives have been achieved or sooner if funds become unavailable.
For this reason the wetlands have not been used in the nitrogen accounting in this plan
although they currently remove up to 3000 pounds of nitrogen per year.
Confined Animals
• 190 sows confined in primary buildings, weight 300#, 315 days breeding and
gestation, 50 days in farrowing
• 5000 pigs per year from the primary building, most sold as feeder pigs, average
wt. 25#, sold at 65 days. Nursing pigs manure accounted with lactating sows
• 10 boars @ 400# confined continuously in primary buildings
• 60 replacement gilts, wt. 145# in finishing unit
• Twenty Fours farrowings per year in hoop structure (12 sows at a time), sows
removed at 45 days. Pigs sold as feeder pigs with alternative of finishing out.
Unconfined Animals
• Twenty four sows to farrow annually in July and August in six woodlots
• Remaining sows kept on pasture lots —fields 2 & 3
• Boars on dry lots, pasture Iots, and occasionally in hoop structure

NITROGEN SUMMARY
There are 1175# PAN per year from animals confined in the primary buildings and this
will be irrigated as wastewater from lagoon #2.
Using conservative values of 60# of allowable nitrogen per acre for fields 1,3,4, and 6,
and 120 pounds of allowed nitrogen for field 6, nitrogen allowed is 212+1616 pounds for
a total of 1828 hounds. Thus there is a deficit of 653 pounds from irrigation.
Manure from the confined animals in the hoop structure will have from 141 to 745
pounds of PAN per year depending on the number of animals. This will be spread on the
16 acres of non -irrigated land at an average rate of 50 pounds per acre (assuming the
maximum number of animals).

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. Illegal discharges are
subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of
Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer
either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the
waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall
provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner
who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste
application for the life expectancy of the production facility. 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, climate
conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of
application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System
(RS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall
be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used
where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by
DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian
Forest Buffers.]
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application.
Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing.
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" in the
Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.]

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(Continued)
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
conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when
the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall not be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that
no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered.
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 on bare soil.
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This
distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative
filter strips are present. [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, drainage ways or
wetlands by a 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 should 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 wash down facilities, showers, toilets, sinks,
etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(Continued)
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a
maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event
in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed
areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall
be provided for these areas and 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.
Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion,
leakage, or discharge.
19. 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.
20. 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.
21. 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 be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal
waste during the crop season.
22. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of
the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all animal waste treatment lagoons. Pumping
shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be

SUBJECT: Notice of Violation/Notice of Intent to Enforce
Compliance Inspection
NC A&T State University.— Porcine Research Laboratory
Facility #86-23
Guilford County
Dear Dr. McKinnie:
This letter is to summarize the violations observed during a compliance inspection performed at
NC A&T State University's porcine facility on September 17, 2003. Melissa Rosebrock, with the State's
Division of Water Quality Winston-Salem Regional Office (WSRO) conducted the announced inspection.
Mr. Donald Ford (certified operator), Dr. David Libby (Interim chair for the Animal Science Department),
Mr. Richard Phillips (technical specialist), Ms. Eliza McLean, and Dr. Chuck Talbot (Assoc. professor,
Animal Science Dept.) were also present during the inspection.
While some efforts appear to have been made to address the violations previously assessed in July
2003, there are still several recordkeeping concerns and violations of the Swine Waste Operation General
that warrant your immediate attention and action:
1. During the September 2003 inspection, staff documented that the irrigation reel had been
replaced in July 2003. While the new equipment was installed to address previous application
problems, the new reel also utilizes a different diameter hose than the previous reel. Staff
documented that the new reel and pump had been in use for two months and had not yet been
calibrated. Without proper calibration of the waste application system, a correct application
rate cannot adequately be determined. Failure to properly maintain and operate the land
application is a violation of the swine permit (Section II, #1).
Since the September 2003 inspection, our office has received and reviewed the calibration
information submitted by NC A&T University. Please be aware that the new flow rate is now
153 gpm, which is approximately 9% greater than the rate stated in the Certified Animal Waste
Management Plan (CAWMP). Additionally, the new application rate is now 0.79" per hour
which is up from 0.60"inches per hour as stated in the CAWMP. Please revise the CAWMP as
soon as possible to reflect the new application rate. Ww

2_ DWQ staff noted several discrepancies between the actual receiving crop and the crop
specified in the CAWMP. Specifically, waste application records indicate that waste
was applied August and September of 2003 to sudan hay in field 45 (pull#1). The
CAWMP states that this area was to be planted in either fescue or alfalfa. Waste was
also applied onto sudan hay in field #3 (pulls #3 and #4). Again, sedan hay was not
listed in the CAWMP as a suitable receiving crop..Records indicate that animal waste
was applied to grazed barley in field 43 (pull #3-2) during June -September 2003.
Once again, this crop was not listed as a receiving crop in the CAWMP. The
CAWMP must be revised if you wish these cropping systems to be implemented next
year_
Staff also noted that pulls 5-I and 5-2 were not available for waste application since
these areas were planted for research purposes. These areas must be available for
animal waste application or be removed from the CAWMP. Failure to abide by the
conditions and limitations of the CAWMP is a violation of the swine permit
(Section V, #5).
3. Evidence of sediment and waste run-off from the outside pens (near the woods) was
observed during the September 2003 inspection. While staff noted that animals had.
already been removed from the pens, extensive repair, grading, and re -vegetation
must be completed before animals may be returned to this area in order to avoid a
probable discharge to surface waters. Be advised that the failure to prevent a
discharge of pollutants to surface waters, wetlands, and grassed waterways is a
violation of Section I, #1 of the swine permit.
4. The tops of the lagoon embankments are still in need of repair due to vehicle and/or
machinery traffic. While some of the embankments were improved since the July
2003, assessment, efforts should be made to grade and establish vegetation on all
lagoon embankments. Failure to establish and maintain a protective vegetative
cover on the lagoon embankment is a violation of Section 11, #10 of the swine
permit.
5. A copy of the Certificate of Coverage (COC) and animal waste general permit could
not be located with the facility's animal waste records. A copy of the COC and permit
must be kept onsite at all times. We suggest that the swine unit manager, Animal
Science Chair, and Technical Specialist also be provided copies of the COC and
permit for their files. Failure to have a copy of these documents onsite is a
violation of Section I, #4 of the swine permit.
6. A review of the animal waste records also revealed that weekly lagoon waste levels
had not been recorded for any of the animal waste lagoons ("Stage 2" and

Hi Melissa 11-21-03
Just to let you know we here at A&T are working on the problems you noted in your recent inspection.
Dean Thompson convened all the involved parties yesterday, and we agreed to a number of action items ,
most of which should occur in the next month. I plan to revise the Waste Mgt Plan before the end of year.
Just thought you would like to know we are working on all this.

Dear Mr. Pierce,
Guilford County dairy and swine farmers have encountered some
unusual weather conditions preventing proper application of
manure and wastewater this spring. Richard Phillips, P.E. has
shown in the attached analysis of the rainfall events for February
through April that only 13 days were available for irrigation and
only 6 days were available for tank wagon application. We are
attaching the analysis of weather records and possible land
application days.
The Guilford SWCD recommend that the division discuss this with
the 1217 Interagency Group so that chronic events like this can
be addressed in the guidance documents. It is our opinion that
Notice of Violations should not be automatically issued when
weather conditions. like this occur. We _also feel that changes
need to be .made in the General Permits that will allow exceptions
for chronic rainfall events. Information from Robert 0. Evans,
P.E. shows that these unusually heavy rainfall events could
happen once every three years.

Wastewater irri ation ipossibilities ( more than 3 days without

This assumes irrigation cannot resume until the 4tb day after the
rain subsides, allowing 3 days for the soil profile to drain. It also
assumes irrigation on the day before precipitation resumes. Thus,

for a 5 day dry period, there would be 2 irrigation days by
sprinkler.
January Not a. goad month to irrigate
February none
March two.periods (one 8day and one 6 day)
April one period (one 7 day one 4 day period)
For wastewater application by sprinkler, there would be net
irrigation days of 5+3+4+1=13 days by this method.
W.W. Application by tank wagon possibilities — more than 5
days without precipitation
There are still fewer opportunities for waste application by tank
wagon. When applying waste using a 3500 gallon tank wagon, the
weight of the wastewater, tank, and tractor will be over 20 tons.
This requires enough drying in order to be able to support the
equipment and drive through the field. Allowing 5 days for
drying, irrigation cannot resume until the 61h day after
precipitation stops. Thus, for an 8 day dry period, only 3 days
would be available for application.
February 2003 No application periods of 6 or more days
March One 8 day period, one 6 day period available
April One 7 day period available.
In this case, there would be 3+1+2= 6 days of net available time
for waste application by tank wagon.
Conclusion.
1. There were 18" of precipitation during the February -April
period which is 7.61" above normal.
2. This is a chronic event with a frequency. considerably less
than 2 years in 10.
3. Ground was already saturated entering the winter as rain
during the fall was more than 5" above normal.
4. Cool overcast weather limited evapo -transpiration during
this period with the result that the soil stayed wet between
precipitation events.
5. During the February -April period, only 13 days were
available for sprinkler irrigation and only 6 days were
available for tank wagon application.
6. The regulations need to be revised to address chronic
precipitation events like this.",

Additional Information Request
NC A&T Porcine Research Laboratory
Animal Waste Operation

Dear M. Ray McKinnie:
The Nan -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed an engineering review of the subject application. Additional information
is required before we can continue our review. Please note that this information has been requested since November 16,
2000. If the information cannot be provided by July 6, 2001 the permit application will be returned as incomplete and
the facility will then be considered as operating without a permit. Please address the following by July 6, 2001:
The Division realizes that there is an innovative waste management system in use at this facility. However,
if you wish to avoid the innovative/individual permitting process, then no PAN reduction can be taken for
the wetland system, and therefore, the Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) will need to be revised based on liquid
slurry numbers. If you choose to do this, have your technical specialist include in the narrative or as an
amendment to the WUP a statement saying that no PAN reduction was taken however there is an innovative
system in use. Have them describe the system in fairly good detail. If you would like to proceed with
permitting the innovative system, please call me for an application form.
Please provide an Operation and Maintenance Plan.
Please provide a clearer map that identifies (outlines or highlights) and shows the acreage for each field to
be used for waste application.
Please refer to the enclosed page for items that are required in a Waste Utilization Plan (WUP). An
example WUP is also included for your use as a reference. Each item listed under 3.3 of the required items
checklist in the application form are highlighted. If you wish to use a different format for your WUP please
indicate on the WUP the items listed under 3.3 of the required items checklist on the application form. This
information must be submitted in order to proceed with your application for a general permit.
Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist. 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 July 6, 2001 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.
Please be advised that operation of the subject animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and will subject you to the enforcement authority of the Environmental Management
Commission.

SUBJECT: Operation Review
N.C. A.BT. Porcine Research Lab
Facility No. 41-12
Guilford County
Dear Dr. McKinnie,
On June 20, an Operation Review was conducted of N.C. A.&T. Porcine Research
Laboratory, facility no. 41-12. This Review, undertaken in accordance with G.S. 143-215.101), is one
of two visits scheduled for all registered livestock operations during the 2000 calendar year.
-
During the Review, it was noted that there was inadequate storage capacity in the wetland
cells. According to the technical specialist, Mr. Phillips, there should be at least six inches of freeboard.
It was noted that there was evidence of a past discharge here which was due to a five inch rain the day
-
prior to the review. I recommend that diversions be installed to prevent runoff from the surrounding
_
drainage area from entering the wetland cells. I would also recommend a plan of action for handling
major rain events that would include not pumping effluent from lagoon # 2 to the wetland cells and.
increasing the freeboard of the cells just prior to or during the rain event.
Other items of concern noted in the review include receiving crops not included in the waste
plan, application dates for receiving crops not included, application fields that are being utilized for
-
open lot test areas and no designated operator in charge. I discussed these issues with Mr. Talbot, Mr.
Ford, and Mr. Phillips and it was suggested that I bring these issues to your attention. I am enclosing a
copy of my review report for your review.
_
Please remember that in order for your facility to be in compliance with environmental regulations,
animal waste cannot be discharged into the waters of the State, and the animal waste collection,
_.
-
treatment, storage and disposal systems must be properly sized, maintained and operated under the
responsible charge of a certified operator.
The Division of Soil and Water Conservation appreciates your cooperation with this Operation Review.
Please do not hesitate to call me at 704/663-1699 ext. 276 if you have any questions, concerns or need
additional information.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 41-12
Guilford County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRR1, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, 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
DWQ staff at [phone] ext. 571.

The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has reviewed your proposal to raise swine on dry lots under
various conditions. Staff of the Division of Soil and Water Conservation and the DWQ met with you on
October 29, 1998 concerning a proposal to place and rotate swine from the existing population of the
facility on six wooded and six conventional half -acre dry lots. It is our understanding that once this study
is complete, these hogs will be placed back in existing swine houses.
In this meeting, we discussed several issues that we recommended that you consider including
include in your research proposal. These items include groundwater monitoring. In order to better
understand the nitrogen residual in the soil, we recommend monitoring wells to be placed in and around
dry lots, grazing plots, and mulch pens.
Another question raised regarded this proposal's adaptability to other soil types across North
Carolina. We recommenced that other sites with different soil types be included as part of the study.
Although it is not required, the Division of Water Quality recommends that current swine housing
setbacks be adhered to wherever possible. If you have any questions concerning this letter, please do not
hesitate to contact me at [phone], extension 571.
Sincerely,
Sonya L. Avant

Subject: North Carolina A & T
Swine Experiment
North Carolina A & T University has requested the WSRO-DWQ to review a site to be used for
a swine experiment previously proposed in their Animal Waste Management Plan (See Attached
Addendum). The site will be populated by a maximum of 30 swine selected from the farms'
existing swine population. A review of the proposed site showed the dry lots will be located I25
ft from a intermittent stream and approximately 75 ft from the adjacent landowners property
boundary. According to the sixth guidance memo, swine setback requirements (lagoons and
houses) from property boundaries are 100 ft for those operations sited between October 1, 1995
and October 1, 1996, and 500 ft for operations sited after October 1, 1996. In addition, a public
notice is required for new or expanding swine farms with 250 or more animals after completing a
site evaluation and before the farm site is modified (effective June 21, 1998). My questions are
as follows:
Do the setback requirements apply to dry lots, and which boundary is appropriate
in this case.
2. Is a public notice required in this case (1. E. notification to adjoining property
owners).
I would appreciate your input on this matter. If you have any questions please contact Larry
Coble or myself at [phone].

ADDENDUM TO A&T WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
Proposal: Integated Sylvan and Crop Systems with Swine
Dr. C. W. Talbott, PI for Swine Research Program
December 17, 1997
Preface to the Experiment Proposed:
Provided there are alternate funding sources to supplement the proposed experiment for the dry
lot plots, the experimental design and layout of the outdoor unit will be discussed in the
following dialogue. If there are no supplemental funds available, data will be collected on the
existing lots (nutrient accumulation and bulk density) and, based on this information, a
vegetative ground cover will be planted. Sows will be culled and outdoor unit will be
terminated until possible funding is identified.
Proposed Experiment:
There is limited information for the policy makers from the NC Division of Water Quality and
the Division of Soil and Water Conservation to follow in developing the guidelines for raising
swine on dry lots or in woodlands. Limited resource farmers may be able to implement practices
which enhance environmental stewardship by complying with the new State regulations.
Farmers will need to change their current practice of raising pigs on dry lot to avoid
accumulation of excess nutrients in one area and comply with nondischarge regulations. Citizen
complaints concerning water quality issues have increased as eutrophication of rivers, streams
and estuaries from nutrient runoff are documented in the Press. Limited resource swine farriers
may opt to abandon raising hogs if they don't perceive there are alternative, low cost and
profitable options to their current practice.
Based on nutrient additions from swine waste, the research component of this grant will
examine the potential for limited resource farmers to: 1) examine alternative methods of
managing swine on dry lots to reduce soil and nutrient run-off and, 2) improve an existing or
future timber stand by monitoring tree growth and forest soils under two stocking rates. A
description indicating proceedures to control and measure nutrient runoff as well as the
objectives of the proposed research is as follows:
1. Examine two methods of managing gestating sows on dry lot to: a) monitor
retention, accumulation and/or availability of N, P, K, Zn and Cu from swine
waste for crop utilization, b) to evaluate the effect of each system on soil physical
properties affecting soil water dynamics and plant growth and, c) determine
nitrogen and phosphorus runoff and leaching from the dry lot treatments.
2. Examine two stocking rates of gestating sows (14/A and 6/A) managed on a
conventional dry lot or forest environment to: a) compare performance of sows
raised on conventional dry lots to those gestating in woods, b) determine the
impact of stocking density on nutrient runoff and survival, composition and
condition of dry lot and forest vegetation, c) examine the rooting behavior and
manure deposition of swine on forest vegetation for enhancing an existing timber
stand or in preparing a more marketable future stand.
Approach and Methods -
Overall experimental design and management of sows:
Sixty gestating Hampshire x Landrace sows will be randomly assigned every six months

to two experimefrtal trials. Sows will be maintained in a crop preparation site from Oct -Mar and
then rotated to either conventional dry lots or wooded plots during the months of Apr -Sep. Two
weeks prior to farrowing, sows will move from test plots to an outdoor farrowing unit. Weaned
sows will replace sows due to farrow in order to maintain the designated stocking rates on the
experimental plots. Vegetative buffers (100 ft. from streams and 50 ft from fence line
boundaries) and woven wire will surround the experimental plots. Feed consumption and man
hours of labor will be recorded for outdoor units. Three strands of high tensile electric fence will
be used to partition the crop and forest plots. Sheds will provide shade and shelter for the sows
during the trial. All sows will have access to water and be fed a complete ration as per National
Research Council (NRC, 1988) requirements for gestating sows. Sow fecal samples will be
monitored every six months for internal parasites.
Approach for Objective 1: Two methods of managing swine on dry lots:
In preparing the land for growing a crop, 'sows will be maintained in one of three whole
plots containing a conventional dry lot or a lot where partially decomposed leaves are added and
maintained at a depth of 6-10 in. deep. Experimental plots are .5A each and will contain 10 sows
per plot. This stocking rate represents the maximum number of sows per acre on dry lot as
dictated by per the new NC State waste regulations. Partially decomposed dried leaves (C:N
ratio of 50:1) will be used for a ground cover and are readily available from the University
Physical Plant. Soil, swine manure and leaf material will be tilled prior to planting. Analysis of
variance usinb a randomized split plot design will be conducted to determine each dry lot main
effects. After the sows are removed on March 31, a cropping system of rye grass and sweet corn
will be planted and amendments added according to nutrient analysis from soil tests.
Data collection and Analysis for Objective 1:
a) monitor retention, accumulation and/or availability of N, P, Zn and Cu from swine waste for
crop utilization.
In the experimental plots, data will be collected annually on manure additions, soil
nutrient reserves, nutrients from leaf material and fertilizer amendments adjusted for crop
requirements. Soil samples will be collected from the experimental site prior to introducing the
sows in the dry lots. The samples will be prepared and analyzed for chemical and physical
properties, providing data on initial soil conditions. Soil samples will be collected from the dry
lots at the end of one and two years of use by the sows and nutrient content (ITT, P, Cu and Zn)
determined to measure the quantity of nutrients added to the soil by the sows. The nutrient
uptake by the cropping system from the dry lots will be determined by plant tissue analysis and
plant yield. Nutrient cycling and organic matter accumulation will be determined.
b) to evaluate the effect of each system on soil physical properties affecting soil water dynamics
and plant growth.
Physical properties to be measured include soil penetrability, bulk density, and pore size
distribution. Soil penetrability will be measured using a cone penetrometer (Bradford, 1986),
bulk density using a harnmer-driven core sampler (Blake and Hartge, 1986), pore size
distribution by water desorption (Danielson and Sutherland, 1986), hydraulic conductivity by the
constant head method (Klute and Dirksen, 1986) and infiltration using a double -ring
infiltrometer (Bouwer, 1986).
c) determine nitrogen and phosphorus runoff and leaching from the dry lot treatments.
Runoff of inorganic-N and phosphorus will be monitored in each dry lot and the sub plot
by standard methods. Surface runoff samples will be collected in collection tanks whenever

rainfall products measurable runoff. Runoff/erosion subplots with multislot divisors will be used
to monitor runoff and soil loss from each plot. The amount of sediments and nutrients in runoff
will be correlated with rainfall rate and runoff rate. Soil samples at different depths (0-12, 12-16,
16-20 and 20-24 inches) will be taken randomly at each dry lot and subplot to monitor nitrogen
leaching. Analysis of variance will be conducted on the runoff and leaching data to evaluate
nitrate and phosphorus loss and potential contamination of water sources.
Approach for Objective 2:Agroforestrylconventional dry lot comparison
Gestating sows will rotate to six wooded or six conventional dry lot plots (.5A) and
randomly assigned at two stocking rates (7 and 3 sows/plot). Trials will be replicated annually
for three years. Two stocking rates of gestating sows (7 and 3) will be randomly assigned to six
conventional dry lots or six plots located in an existing mixed hardwood forest (described by
MRCS Staff Forester A. Coffey in a preliminary survey as having poor quality shrub and tree
composition, 7/18/97). Sows will reside in the woods during the warmer months (April -Sept.)
when there is maximurn uptake of nutrients from the manure by the trees.
Data collection and Analysis for Objective 2:
a) compare performance of sows raised on conventional dry lots to those gestating in woods
Minimum and maximum temperatures will be recorded daily under the tree canopy and
conventional dry lots to determine thermoregulation properties of sylvan environment on sow
reproductive performance. Differences due to environments for sow productivity will be
measured using a mixed model analysis (Boldman et al.) for maternal and reproductive traits.
Piglets will be weaned at 21 days and sows artificially mated in their respective environments
using purchased semen (similar boars used across environments). Traits measured will be
number bom alive, number born dead, fertility rate (number sows pregnant/ sows exposed),
number pregnant at 30 days, number pregnant at 45 days, litter weight at birth, weight and
condition score of sow at farrowing, weight and condition score of sow at weaning and litter
weight at weaning. Fecal samples will be collected and analyzed for parasites at farrowing.
Sows not conceiving after two breeding cycles exposed to a vasectomized boar will be culled.
b) determine the impact of stocking density on nutrient runoff, bulk density and condition of dry
lot vegetation
Annual rye grass will be planted in the conventional dry lots after the sows are removed
in September and subsequently fed as green chop to supplement the sow gestation diet. Plant
nutrients will be analyzed to determine potential for gestation diet substitution. Retention of
vegetation cover (based on stocking rate) will be documented as well as nutrient runoff. Effect
of stocking rate on retention and accumulation of nutrients from swine manure, soil physical
properties and nutrient runoff will be monitored as per objectives 1 a, b, and c respectively.
c) rooting behavior and manage deposition of swine on forest vegetation for enhancing an
existing stand or in preparing a more marketable future stand
Within each sylvan plot, an area of one -tenth acre (37.25 feet radius from a designated
starter tree) will be surveyed prior to, during (annually) and after the sows are removed to
determine the impact of swine on the sylvan environment. Within each sample plot, baseline and
yearly data on all trees > 6in. diameter at breast height (DBH) will be recorded. Initial diameter
and inches of radial growth in the last ten years will be compared to growth response due to
swine introduction. Basal area (ftz/A) and % canopy coverage (summer) will be measured at
each plot center. An inventory of ground vegetation will be documented annually, as well as soil
test analysis within each plot. Two control plots will be used to assess tree growth without

On April loth, we met with the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (NC.DENR) at their Regional Office in Winston-Salem, NC. Attending the meeting,
from NCA&TSU, was Dick Phillips (Adj. Professor and P.E. - Dept. of Environmental Design
and Natural Resources), Charles Talbott (Adj. Assoc. Professor _ Dept. of Animal Science),
Harold Martin (Farm Superintendent), William Boone (Dairy Herdsman) and myself NCDENR
was represented by Larry Coble (Regional Supervisor), M. Steve Mauney, Ron Linville and Eric
Black. Millie Langley, of the Guilford Soil and Water Conservation District Office, was also in
attendance. The meeting was a `Show, Cause, Hearin. intended to further discuss, understand
and resolve NCDENR concerns about our; application_ of ;swine. lagoon- wastewater onto fields
under wet soil or imminent rain conditions.
After a lengthy discussion as to how our swine unit operates and as to the intent, purpose
and use of lagoon 93, NCDENR stated that it was satisfied with the improvements in waste
management that it had witnessed at the unit over the last couple of years. Further, Millie
Langley stated that she had also witnessed improvement in our management of the lagoons and
felt that we were managingthem in accordance to state guidelines and regulations. A major point
of contention, which was resolved, focused on our need to apply swine wastewater during the
late fall, winter and early spring periods. These periods of the year can be rainy, resulting in
saturated soil conditions.
It was resolved that during these periods of the year, NCA&TSU should avoid the
application of wastewater onto saturated soil or impending rain/rain storm conditions: Instead,
we would utilize whatever lagoon storage space was available, even if it meant pumping into
lagoon 43 (our storage pond for treated wastewater from the constructed wetlands). However, if
conditions were such that there was the threat of lagoon dam failure or overflow, we would
notify NCDENR of our conditions) and emergency need to pump onto saturated soils or during
rainfall events. We are to operate as normal during the summer (warm weather), again keeping i 1
mind to avoid applying: wastewater onto saturated soil or impending rain/rain storm. conditions.
Employment and program opportunities are offered to all people regardless of race. color, national origin, sex, agc or handicap.

In conclusion, I feel that we have resolved the waste management concerns of NCDENR, to
the mutual satisfaction of both parties, and can proceed with the normal operation of our swine
research unit. Dr. Godfrey has been fully assessed of our visit to NCDENR and their
recommended operating procedures. As a follow-up to the recent meeting and discussion, he
asked that I brief you as to the aforementioned outcomes and recommendations. If I can be of
further assistance or clarification, please contact me at [phone].

TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS rip
N. C. A & T. Ag Waste Mgt. Plan
April 16, 1995
The following technical items were obtained from the three technical
training sessions held on Ag Waste Manafnent Plans; the NRCS Practice
Standards; the N_ C. S. U. Cooperative Extension Service Production Guide;
and from the various Guidance Documents issued to implement the
Environmental Management Commission's Regulations for Animal Waste
Management (15A NCAC 2H .0217). Also included are data from the Guilford
County Soil Survey and various textbooks on Hydrology, Soil Science, and
Agronomy.
1. Two situations were said to be a violation of rules-
o. Discharge of wastewater to streams and natural wetlands
o_ Application of nitrogen in excess of that used by the crop.
2. Enon fine sandy loam soil has a moderate infiltration rate and a low
permeability rate. The infiltration rate is affected by the amount of residue
and cover. Good residue prevents surface sealing, thus maintaining a
higher infiltration rate. However, if these soils are saturated, water will
still infiltrate, but at a very reduced rate. (0.06 to 0.2" per hour, or 1.4 to
4.8 inches per day for the most restrictive layer, 5-33" below the surface)
3. If wastewater is applied and all the water enters the soil, and a
rainstorm occurs soon after, there is no technical reason why any of the
constituents applied should enter surface waters. The only exception to
this would be if actual organic matter is applied on the surface, like after a
dairy farmer spreads cow manure. In this case, a heavy rain could wash
away the -organic particles into the stream if there were no cover or
buffers.
4. The long standing rule in irrigation is, "Look at the soil, not the sky". If
during wastewater application a thunderstorm occurs, the application
should obviously stop. However, often the storm either "blows over", or it
only sprinkles. If the storm adds enough additional water to cause runoff
to streams to occur , then obviously this would be a violation. Again, it is a
judgment call for the wastewater operator to make as to whether to shut
down or not. The decision also depends upon the location of the area
irrigated --if it is immediately adjacent to a stream with only a 50 foot
buffer, this is one thing. If the area is high on the landscape, and there is
considerable area downstream to serve as a buffer, particularly if there is

•
L�
a good stand of fescue, this is a different situation and one very unlikely
to result in discharge (of pollutants) to surface waters.
5. The February 2 and 3 applications in question occurred during a 5 day
period with no recorded rainfall. The irrigation gun traveled at 4.5 feet per
minute, applying 0.24 inches of water, equating to somewhere between 4
and 5 pounds of plant available nitrogen per acre. The crop was winter oats,
and it was green and growing at the time. Runoff did not occur, so the only
question is, "Was this an over -application of nitrogen"?
6. To our knowledge, there was no discussion of winter irrigation at any of
the training sessions. Traditionally farmers apply nitrogen to small grains,
30 pounds at planting, 80-90 pounds in February (NCSU Production Guide) .
Guidance Document # 6 addresses this issue somewhat in that it is
discussed in 1.1 1, Overseding Small Grain Harvested for Hay or Grazed in
Coastal Bermuda. This states that the allowable nitrogen rate for small
grain overseeded in Coastal is 50 pounds. In our case, we follow the oats
with 5udangrass. Our most recent Soil Test Report for this combination
recommends 80-100 pounds. Based on the these recommendations, only
about 5% of the recommended rate was applied in the February application.
7. One theme which was repeated a number of times by Dennis Ramsey and
See Homewood (DWQ) was that if there are any questions, or if anyone gets
into trouble, give DWQ a call and "We will work with you". All in attendance
appreciated this attitude of cooperation.
In conclusion, it is the University's belief that (1) all regulations must be
based on sound technical knowledge and (2) still provide the greatest
flexibility to the owner and operator to carry out the AWNP in an
environmentally safe manner. To this end, A &. T. State University fully
supports the efforts of the Division of Water Quality to improve our
environment.

2. Enon fine sandy loam soil has a moderate infiltration rate and a low
Permeability rate. The infiltration rate is affected by the amount of residue
and cover. Good residue prevents surface sealing, thus maintaining a
higher infiltration rate. However, if these soils are saturated, water will
still infiltrate, but at a very reduced rate. (0.06 to 0.2" per hour, or 1.4 to
4.8 inches per'day for the most restrictive layer, 8-33" below the surface)
3. If wastewater is applied and all the water enters the soil, and a
rainstorm occurs soon after, there is no technical reason why any of the
constituents applied should enter surface waters. The only 'exception to
this would be if actual organic matter is applied on the surface, like after a
dairy farmer spreads cow manure. in this case, a heavy rain could wash
away the organic particles into the stream if there were no cover or
buffers.
4. The long standing rule in irrigation is, "Look at the sail, not the sky". If
during wastewater application a thunderstorm occurs, the application
should obviously stop. However, often the storm either "blows over", or it
only sprinkles. if the storm adds enough additional water to cause runoff
to streams to occur , then obviously this would be a violation. Again, it is a
judgment call for the wastewater operator to make as to whether. to shut
down or not. The decision also depends upon the location of the area
irrigated --if it is immediately adjacent to a stream with only a 50 foot
buffer, this is one thing. If the area is high on the landscape, and there is
considerable area downstream to serve as a buffer, particularly if there is

•

a good stand of fescue, this is a different situation and one very unlikely
to result in discharge (of pollutants) to surface waters.
5. The February 2 and 3 applications in question occurred during a 5 day
period with no recorded rainfall: The irrigation gun traveled at 4.5 feet per
minute, applying 0.24 inches of water, equating to somewhere between 4
and 5 pounds of plant available nitrogen per acre. The crop was winter oats,
and it was green and growing at the time. Runoff did not occur, so the only
question is, `Was this an aver -application of nitrogen-7
6. To our knowledge, there was'no discussion of winter irrigation at any of
the training sessions. Traditionally farmers apply nitrogen to small grains,
30 pounds at planting, 80-90 pounds in February (NCSU Production Guide) .
Guidance Document * 6 addresses this issue somewhat in that it is
discussed in 1.1 1, Overseding Small Grain Harvested for Hay or Grazed in
Coastal Bermuda. This states that the allowable nitrogen rate for small
grain overseeded in Coastal is 50 pounds. In our case, we follow the oats
with Sudangrass- Our most recent Soil Test Report for this combination
recommends 80-100 pounds. Based on the these recommendations, only
about 5% of the recommended rate was applied in the February application.
7. One theme which was repeated a number of times by Dennis Ramsey and
Sue Homewood (DWQ) was that if there are any questions, or if anyone gets
into trouble, give DWQ a call and "We will work with you". All in attendance
appreciated this attitude of cooperation.
In conclusion, it is the University's belief that (1) all regulations must be
based on sound technical knowledge and (2) still provide the greatest
flexibility to the owner and operator to carry out the AWMP in an
environmentally safe manner. To this end, A & T. State University fully
supports the efforts of the Division of Water Quality to improve our
environment.

Yield Components and Nitrogen adjusts nitrogen inputs to match the timing and amount

reouirement must be met.
Potential heads per acre are determined in the fall and
early spring before small grains elongate. During this
process, tillers develop_ Tillers that have at least three
leaves at jointing (Feekes Growth Stage 6) can produce
heads. Consequently, this fast yield component is greatly
influenced by the ability of the crop to produce tillers.
Timely planting at the correct seeding rate sets the stage
for adequate tiller development. Proper soil nutrients,
including N and K. and good weather are the remaining
considerd4ons. Fall tiller development does not require
large amounts of N. Fifteen to 30 pounds per acre are
usually adequate. However, if Lh.4 nitrogen is not avail-
able, fall tillering will be reduced, resulting in fewer
heads per acre and lower yields_ Some tiller growth can
take place in early spring but may require small applica-
tions of N in early February (Feekes Growth Stage 3).
For high wheat yields. 60 to 70 heads per square foot are
generally required. Adequate N to support tiller develop-
ment in the fall and/or spring is required to meet this
target.
Kemels per head is the second yield component_ The
potential number of kernels per head is determined during
sum elongation in March (Feekes Growth Stage 4 and 5).
It is during this growth stage that small grain crops begin
to take up large amounts of N. The target number of
kernels per head for high yielding wheat is 25 to 30_
The last yield component, kernel size, is determined
through the remainder of the growing season. From
jointing until maturity, small grain crops need enough N
to maintain a healthy canopy, and to develop grain
protein. If adequate N fertility was achieved in March
(Fe ekes Growth Stage 4 or 5), N applications later in the
spring should not be required. Nitrogen applied after a
healthy crop joints generally does not improve yield,
but may affect grain protein.
A good N fertility program should recognize the critical
9
At -Plant ;Nitrogen
Since fall tiller development is a key component of high
yields, small grain crops need a small amount of N at
planting. Fifteen to 30 pounds per acre are usually
sufficient for early tiller growth. Extension recommenda-
tions used to encourage growers to skip this application if
following soybeans or peanuts. However, recent research
suggests that N released from soybean residue may not be
available to the small grain until early spring, which is
too late to support fall tillering. Consequently, growers
should consider appling a small amount of at -plant N,
even if following soybeans.
If at -plant nitrogen is skipped, fall tillering may be
reduced. Growers should watch their small grains closely
through November and December_ if tillers are not
developing normally, the skipped N application may be
the cause, and should be made 'up as soon as possible_
January Applications
Nitrogen applications, made before stem elongation
(Feekes Growth Stage 4 and 5), promote tillering. Since
tillering is dependent upon warm weather, N needs to be
available early in the fall, or in the spring when the
weather begins to warm up again. January applications
when the temperatures are low and precipitation is high,
may have little impact on tiller growth, and be susceptible
to leaching.
If the crop is pale green (due to lack of N), the stand is
very thin, and there have been significant leaching rains
during the fall and through December, small applications
(up to 30 pounds per acre) may be made. This application
can stirnu a1 re rrmf growth and tillering, but the potential
for losses to the environment is great. Growers who apply
N in January should he prepared to apply more N in
February if cold wet weather occurs.
Spring Applications
Nitrogen should be applied in the spring (Feekes Growth
Stage 3) to support further tiller development if required.

after stem elongation (Feekes Growth Stage 4 and 5)_
The question is often asked if spring N should be applied
as a single application early in February. March. or split
into two applications in February and March. The success
of any of these approaches depends on how well the yield
components are developing.
Early Spring
During the first few weeks in February (Feekes Growth
Stage 3), small grains begin to develop more tillers if IN
is available_ If sufficient numbers of tillers developed in
the fall, further tiilering will not be necessary and an
application of N at this time will not benefit the crop. if
fall tillenng was limited, and there are not enough tillers
to produce adequate heads, yields will be reduced, unless
N is made available, and further tillers develop in the next
few weeks. By counting the number of tillers (with at
least 3 leaves) N requirements can be determined for
Feekes Growth Stage 3.
Mid Spring
During stem elongation (Feekes Growth Stage 4 and 5),
which usually occurs in March. the crop's N requirement
explodes. Nitrogen is heeded now, and the bulk of N
should be applied at this time.
Specific Nitrogen Requirements
Oats, Barley, Triticale. and Rye
If tiller density is low in February, split the spring
application. Apply half as soon as possible and the
second half in March, during stem elongation. If tillerng
is high in February, make a single N application later
during Feekes Stage 4 or 5. Use the following than to
determine the crop's total N requirement.

Wheat
During the first week of February, count the number of
tillers (with at least 3 leaves) per square foot. If tiller
density is high, do not apply nitrogen until stem
elongation in March. If tiller density is low, the crop
needs nitrogen as soon as possible. Waiting until March
to apply nitrogen when tiller counts are low in February,
will most likely result in reduced yields. Under these
conditions splitting nitrogen applications will most
likely be of benefit.
If, at Feekes Growth Stage 3, there are 100 tillers per
square foot. apply 100 pounds of nitrogen in March
during stem elongation_ If there are 50 or fewer tillers
per square foot at Feekes Growth Stage 3, apply 50
pounds as early as possible, and another 50 pounds in
t7
March. For tiller densities between 50 and 100. the
benefits of splitting nitrogen applications are less clear.
To be on the safe side, split applications should probably
be made when there are fewer than 70 tillers per square
foot at Feekes Growth Stage 3_
In some cases, even if tillenng is low at Feekes Growth
Stage 3. a producer may choose to apply all spring N in
a single application. if single applications are made
before Feekes Growth Stage 4 or 5, a tissue test should
be used to check the crop's N status before jointing.
Applying all the N in a single application before stem
elongation can put the crop at risk later in the season. A
test tissue at stem elongation (Feekes Growth Stage 4
and 5) can give a producer warning of an impending N
shortage in time to correct a potentially serious problem_
It will also warn if other nutrients are becoming
deficient. Use the chart at the end of this section to
determine the required amount of N to apply at Feekes
Growth Stage 4 or 5, if a tissue sample is taken.
Applications of N After Jointing
Applying N after the plants have jointed (Feekes Growth
Stage b) generally will not provide a yield increase but
applications may improve grain protein. If the crop is
yellowing and showing visible signs of N deficiency, late
N applications may be of some value. At flag leaf
emergence (Feekes Growth Stage 8), up to 20 lb N per
acre can be applied to wheat using granular urea
dissolved in water. (Do not use UAN solution which
will damage the head and the flag leaf reducing yields
severely). The granular urea (prilled granular urea
should not be used unless it is not coated) should be
tested to be certain it dissolves readily. Twenty-five to
30 gallons of water per acre are needed to get good
wetting of the foliage.
Special Considerations For No -Till
Crop residue, left on the surface in no -till systems, can
tie up N needed by developing tillers. For this reason,
making an initial application of 15 to 30 pounds of N per
acre in the fall is especially important in no -till.
Applications at the high end of this range are
re ammended. If the crop is planted on time and at the
correct seeding rate, tiller density in early February
should be high. If a good stand was achieved, but
tillenng by February was lower than expected, increased
at -plant N may be required. Since fall tiller
development can he slow in no -till, determining tiller
density at Feekes Growth Stage 3 is especially
important. if the density is low, an early spring N
application will he important to achieve a high yield
potential. Research in Kentucky has consistently shown
that no till wheat following corn requires 20-30 pounds
more spring N than conventional fields or no till wheat
following beans_

Nitrogen Sources
Several satisfactory sources of nitrogen are available for
topdressing small grain. Nitrogen solutions (approxi-
mately one-half ammonium nitrate and one-half urea
dissolved in water) are popular and widely used. These
solutions contain from 30 to 32 percent actual nitrogen.
Although the solution may cause slight foliar barn, there
is no likelihood of reduced yields from this effect. A
third source is ammonium sulfate (21 percent nitrogen).
Ammonium sulfate is readily available, especially in
eastern North Carolina. This source also contains sulfur
(24 percent)_ This nutrient may be important in fields
with rather deep sandy surfaces and to which no other
sulfur was applied within the past one or two years.
In recent years urea (45 percent nitrogen) has been
readily available. Its popularity stems from its high
nitrogen content_ its usually competitive price, and its
tow degree of metal corrosion_ Under certain conditions,
volatility losses can occur when urea is applied to sandy
soil. However, if it is broadcast as early as possible in
the spring when the soil surface is moist, wind speed is
at a minimum, temperance is relatively low, and humid-
ity is high, no loss should occur. When applied to silty or
clayey soil surfaces, volatilization does not seem to be a
problem.
Conclusions: At -plant N is important to promote fall
tittering, which is a key component of high yielding
wheat Tiller density in early February (Feekes Growth
Stage 3) can Ix used to tell if N is needed in early spring
and if split applications will be beneficial. If tiller den-
sity is high, all spring N can be applied at Fakes Growth
Stage 4 or 5. whether making a single spring N applica-
tion, or splitting spring N. a tissue test at Feekes Growth
Stage 4 or 5 can provide valuable information about how
much N is required and if other nutrients are at adequate
levels.

Determining Tiller Density At Feekes Growth Stage 3:
Spring Green -Up in Late January or Early February
To determine tiller density it is only necessary to count well developed tillers. These are tillers with at least 3
leaves. Ignore small tillers that have only one or two leaves_ Do not be concerned with differences between the
main plant and younger side tillers_ Just count any stem with at least three leaves as a tiller. Your final count
will include main plants and side tillers.
Best Option: Count all the tillers that have at least 3 leaves in a yard of row. Do this in several places and take
an average_ Tiller density is then computed as: Tillers per square foot = (Tillers per yard of row) X (4) / (row
width in inches)
Example: In four counts of tillers in a yard of row, the average was found to be 102_ The row spacing
is 8 inches. Tiller density is then: 102 X 4 18 = 51 tillers per square foot.
Alternative Option: Mark out a square foot of ground, and count all the tillers in that area that have at least 3
leaves. Do this in several places and take an average_

Notice of Deficiency for NC A&T Swine Facility and
Notice of violation for NC A&T DairS'Discharge
Guilford County (February 20, 1998)
Dear Dr. McKinney:
This letter serves to notify you of our receipt of your responses
to the above referenced Notices.
This office does not concur with ,your statement that "no
violations or deficiencies were noted during the visit". Issues were
noted in the comment section of the inspection report, The block for
deficiencies was left blank in order to indicate that problems were
found. As previously indicated, this office had received a voice mail
message from Dr. Dick Phillips indicating that lagoons at the hog
facility were "within 4-6 inches" and that the facility would have to
pump onto fields even though the fields were wet and the weather was not
conducive to pumping. A follow up discussion with Mr. Chris Couch
indicated that the facility had pumped lagoon wastewater on fields which
may have been saturated or very wet from the previous month's rainfall,
Mr. Couch further indicated that pumping ceased when rainfall began and
that about 3 feet of freeboard was available in lagoon #3. The Division
inspection found 5 feet of freeboard in the 43 lagoon and that the
emergency pumping had occurred from the #2 lagoon.
This office is concerned that'the available freeboard in the #3
lagoon was not utilized instead of applying onto saturated or wet fields.
prior to a significant and forecasted rainfall event. The Division is
further concerned that a discharge may have occurred. As you are aware
any discharge of animal waste from the facility not resulting from a 25
year, 24 hour storm is a violation of the facilities certified animal
waste management plan, 15NCAC 2H.0217 and GS 143-215--1- Such violations
would be subject to fines of up to $10,000 per day per violation.
As this office has received several previous complaints concerning
the A&T swine operation pumping during and/or just before rainfall
events which could cause runoff concerns, it would seem reasonable for
the A&T Swine facility to utilize as much storage as possible in order
to avoid future complaints or potential discharges from fields by
insuring more appropriate applications during dry periods, Any
application during this very wet period seems to have been unnecessary
as the integrity of the lagoon walls was not an issue and as freeboard
existed in lagoon 43.

In addition to our concerns about the swine facility, the A&T
dairy facility appeared to have been discharging wastewater for a
protracted period creating a noxious condition. This occurred despite
concerns expressed during previous site visits and as included in our
inspection report of August 20, 1997. The problem was worse rather than
improved.
In conclusion, NC A&T's response to these issues has not been
.sufficient enough to diminish our concerns that similar future events
will not occur. Please contact this office before March 31, 1998 to
schedule a Show Cause Hearing in the Winston-Salem Regional Office. If
you have any questions about this letter, please contact Mr. Ron
Linville or Mr. Steve Mauney or me at (336) 771-460B extensions 265, 262

Dear Mr. Coble:
REC77IVE.'
Wins on-aS7c' lem
Regional lace
Per your letter of February 20th, I am providing a written explanation as to the recent bypass
of wastewater into waters of the State at the University Farm Complex. This violation was not a
deliberate act of negligencebut rather the result of a damaged drainage pipe leading from the milk
room to. our wastewater holding facility. The damage had been reported and was scheduled for
repair but had not been completed because of bad (rain) weather. It was also observed that the
sink in our milk room had a hole in the down spout which caused milk to leak onto our floors and
subsequently into our damaged drainage line.
In response to all the violations sited in your letter, we have moved swiftly to correct them.
The sink drain and damaged underground drainage pipe have been repaired and the open ditch
covered. Additionally, we discovered that some of the lead lines from our existing septic tank
were damaged during the installation of the wasterwater holding facility. New lines have been
installed on the septic tank to prevent any open surface leakage or drainage from it The septic
tank is also scheduled for pumping within the next 2-5 days.
As for the issue of intermingling of wastewater and rainwater into the milking parlor drain, we
have moved to correct this concern. On the day of Mr. Linville's visit, one of the milking parlor
drains had been plugged deliberately, by the dairy herdsman, in an effort to finally determine
whether or not rainwater was entering into the parlor drain line and then into the wasterwater
holding tank. In consultation with our Physical Plant plumbers, we have decided to install a
separate drain line onto an old external storm drain, located just outside of the milk parlor, which
would divert surface rainwater away from the collection system for parlor wastewater. The
installation of this line is to be completed as soon as weather permits.
I am hopeful that the above explanation and subsequent actions have addressed your concerns
relative to our recent "Notice of Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement Action." It was

never our intent to violate any of the laws and regulations governing the discharge of waste into a
State body of water. Again, our violations were the result of minor flaws in our handling of the
dairy's milking parlor wastewater management system.
Millie Langley, of the Guilford Soil and Water Conservation District, has reviewed and
approved our repairs to the sink drain and damaged underground drainage pipe. It is our intent to
grade, level, seed and mulch the area around the wasterwater storage tank as soon as the weather
and wet ground conditions will permit.
Thank you in advance for your understanding of this unfortunate situation which has resulted
in our letter of notice. If I can be of further assistance or clarification, please contact me at (336)

Per your letter of February 20th, i am responding to your request for an explanation of future
steps to avoiding emergency land application of swine lagoon wastewater., In reviewing the
inspection report, I was relieved to know that the swine unit was in compliance and that no
violations or deficiencies had been noted during the visit. To further evaluate our situation in
regards to the request for emergency application and to several comments/observations noted by
Mr. Linville, we called a meeting to discuss the report and to respond to all major points outlined
in the comments section.
Please find attached our response to the "Comments" of the report. We have responded, in
depth, to each concern and feel that we have taken steps or provided reasonable evidence as to
our actions to avoid "emergency" applications. As a State institution of higher learning, it has
always been our policy and intent to comply with all laws and regulations regarding the proper
application of animal waste. We have mandated that members of our University Farm Complex
become "certified waste applicator" to insurance compliance. It is our responsibility to serve as
a role model and technical resource to local residents, students and area producers.
We would appreciate an opportunity to meet with representatives of the Division of Water
Quality, NRCS and Guilford Soil & Water Conservation District to address our current situation
and to discuss future collaborations. Many of the complaints filed by the neighboring farmer,
Mr. Hackett, are false and very misleading, in that they suggest constant violations of the rules
and regulations to your office. Please be assured that it is not our intent to skirt our obligations
or responsibilities in any way.
Thank you in advance for all consideration shown towards our request. If I can be of further

Response to "Comments" re.
Ron Linville's site visit to A&T Swine Unit
conducted on February 2, 1998
February 26, 1998
Comments and observations to Mr. LinviIle's report:
February 2nd and 3rd application:
The waste water was applied in the middle of field # 1 and the soils accepted this without runoff.
Mr. Couch walked around the area to check this during irrigation. The traveler speed was 4.5
feet per minute, yielding a 0.24" application. The last recording from a rainfall event was 2 mm
on 1/28/98 (see records for daily rainfall). There was no rainfall for five days prior to Mr. Couch's
application on Feb 2nd and 3rd. Incidentally, Nye have irrigated in February in previous years
(February 25 & 26, 1997).
Violations.- No violation occurred on the February 2 and 3, 1998 irrigations, as there was no
runoff to the streams. We reiterate what constitutes a violation:
1. Waste water applied must not cause runoff to streams
2. Nitrogen application (plant available nitrogen) for the year must not exceed that
removed by the crop.
Storagg Pond: It is true that a waste water storage pond (#3) exists. This is to receive outflow
from the constructed wetlands. Considering the soil conditions on Feb 2nd and 3rd, we did not
consider advisable to use this storage as long as water could be applied to the field without runoff.
However, we did pump some over to 43 on February 5th (2 hrs, 6 minutes).
Dry Lots: Hogs have been removed, and soil samples have been taken. We are in the process of
planning a crop to utilize the nutrients all in keeping with the AWMP and the addendum.
Depending upon funding, hogs wU be restocked on these lots. Leveling and seeding the area is
not advisable until weather permits.
Reductiog in Anim : Due to budget constraints, the sow inventory has temporarily been reduced
to 120 sows (approximately 40% of the former herd size). Even though a AWMP is not required
for a herd of this size, the A&T faculty and staff considered that our program should examine and
adhere to the new regulations that address water quality.
Buffers: Our buffers far exceed the regulations. In keeping with an earlier agreement made on -
site with Mr. Linville (NC Division of Water Quality), we have 120 foot buffers along fields 4 and
5.
Administrative Issues: This evidently refers to a discussion to land irrigate (without runoff) in Iieu
of pumping to #3 . We believe this is good policy as long as no violation occurs.
Excess. rainfall: This morning's newspaper states we are approximately 5" above normal rainfall
for the year.

More annlication fields: We do have additional land near JFH Dairy Road which could be
irrigated. However, the natural drainage for this land is into a stream presently used to water Mr.
Hackett's cows. Thus, we believe applying waste water on this land would generate even more
complaints. Additionally, there is a new housing development adjacent to this land.
As a State Educational and Research Institution:
North Carolina A&T State University is committed to upholding the State's Waste Management
Plan and serving as a model and technical resource to local residents, students and area producers.
A & T is currently seeking funding to examine alternative waste management options that
promote sound land stewardship practices for confinement operations and small producers. We
would appreciate an opportunity .to meet with representatives of The Division of Water Quality
and Natural Resource and Conservation Service to address our current situation and discuss
future collaboration.

SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATIOI
Recommendation for
NC ALT (Dairy Farm)
Guilford County
Dear Dr. McKinney:
DIVISION OF
WATER QUALITY
and
Enforcement Action
This letter is to notify you that the Winston-Salem
Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality is
considering sending a recommendation for enforcement action
to the Director of the Division of Water Quality- This
recommendation concerns the violation by NC ALT whereby
wastewater has been allowed to bypass wastewater holding
facilities thereby discharging from the dairy to waters of
the State.
This office has corresponded with NC ALT on November
22, 1995 and May 10, 1996 concerning the resolution of this
matter. You should take whatever actions are necessary at
this time to fully resolve this issue without further delay.
The dairy discharge should cease immediately or the cows
should be removed from the facility. If you have an
explanation for this violation that you wish to present,
please respond in writing to me within ten (10) days
following receipt of this Notice.- Your explanation will be
reviewed and if -an enforcement action is still deemed
appropriate, your explanation will be forwarded to the
Director with the enforcement package for his consideration-

You should be advised that unpermitted discharge violations of
NCGS 143-215 subjects NC A&T to civil penalties of $10,000 per day
per violation (each day being considered as a separate offense).
Injunctive relief may also be pursued by this Division. Any
affected citizen could initiate a third party lawsuit pursuant to
provisions in the US Clean Water Act.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please
contact Ron Linville or Steve Mauney at (910) 77114G00.

Dear Dr. McKinney:
This letter is to notify you that Mr. Ron Linville of
the Winston --Salem Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality inspected your facility on February 11, 1998 due to
emergency land application of wastewater from the swine
operation. A copy of the inspection is enclosed -
It was determined that the emergency spraying was
unnecessary due to the fact that freeboard was available in
the ##3 lagoon. Apparently some administrative issues led to
this pumping which should be reviewed by NC A&T. Please be
advised that land application should not occur when soils
are saturated and/or inclement weather is imminent as was
the case during this episode. The only exception to this
guidance would be when the integrity of a Lagoon is
threatened. It is understood that emergency applications
would be necessary to prevent a lagoon from rupturing. Such
application incidents must be reported to this Division.

SUBJECT: Land Application - Emergency Pumping
NC A&T Swine Facility
Guilford County
Dear Dr. McKinney:
This office received a voice mail message recently from Dr. Dick
Phillips indicating that lagoons at the hog facility were within 4-6
inches and that the facility would have to pump onto fields evert, though
the fields were wet and the weather was not conducive to pumping. A
follow up discussion with Mr. Chris Couch indicated that the facility
had pumped lagoon wastewater on fields which may have been saturated.
Mr. -Couch further indicated that pumping ceased when rainfall began and
that about 3 feet of freeboard was available in Lagoon #3. It is likely
that there may have been an option of utilizing this lagoon for
additional storage without pumping onto already saturated fields.
Please provide this office with a detailed accounting of all
pumping events utilized by the swine operation since August 1, 1997.
This accounting should include all pre and post pumping lagoon
elevations relative to pumping events and the volume of wastewater
pumped- Additionally, dates, length of time and weather conditions
should be shown in an orderly and understandable format. This -office
is particularly interested in the' freeboard available to A&T in all
lagoons prior to the rainfall which occurred in January: and. February of
1998 and whether or not lagoon #3 should have been utilized for
additional storage.
As this office has received several previous complaints concerning
the A&T swine operation pumping during rainfall events which could cause
runoff concerns and since this emergency pumping did occur, please be
advised that any non -permitted discharge of any type of wastewater to
the waters of the State is illegal per North Carolina General Statute
143-215-1. Farms not in compliance with the regulations can be
considered in violation of GS: 143-215-1 and could be subject to
enforcement action with the possible assessment of'civil penalties of
up to $10,000 per day per violation.

Dear Dr. McKinnie:
FE B 18 1998
'Winston-Salem
Regiotl%l Office
In a visit to the farm by John Andrews, NRCS and Ron Linville with DWQ on Wednesday, February
11, 1998 a discharge of milk was observed even though a new pipe system had been recently installed
from the dairy milking parlor. In fact, it appeared that parlor wash water was bypassing the new pipe
and not entering the holding tank at all.
In a subsequent visit by Jamey Waltzer on February 12, 1998, he determined that a pipe in the milli
room was leaking at the sink drain, also an underground drain line was damaged when an electric line
was installed for the tank- The leak at the sink drain must be repaired, the underground pipe must be
repaired and the ditch covered. All disturbed areas must be seeded and mulched.
Aside from the fact that ANY discharge from a confined animal operation is against the law, the rules
of the NC Agricultural Cost Share Program state that structural repairs must be completed within 30
working days. If the above stated repairs are not clone, the District must ask that the cost share funds
be repaid to the state. The repairs should be completed by March 31, 1998.
Please contact the district staff as soon as repairs are completed or if you have any questions.

Dear Mr. Mauney:
I am writing to you in response to your letter of May 10 to Mr. Harold Martin, farm superin-
tendent, in regards to wastewater concern at our dairy. We are aware of the problem and we are in
the process of addressing the problem, per the attached recommendation of Millie Langley,
Guilford Soil and Water Conservation District - Watershed Conservationist.
Millie has recommended that we construct a prefab concrete tank to contain waste generated in
the milking parlor. The cost of construction, per Tom Moxley of Lipp America, Inc., is estimated
to be $8600.00. To date, we have $6000.00 of the amount needed to begin construction. It is our
intent to acquire the remaining $2600.00 from new fiscal year dollars appropriated to the School of
Agriculture on duly 1, 1996. Assuming the availability of new funds in duly, we will address the
issue immediately, finishing construction of the concrete tank during Fall `96.
I hope that I have properly addressed your concerns in regards to our intent to schedule im-
provements to the waste management situation at our dairy. If you have further questions,
concerns or points of clarification, please contact me at [phone] or at P. O. Box 21928,
Greensboro, NC 27420-1928.

A & T State University, Dairy
3136 McConnell Road
Greensboro, NC 27405
Dr. McKinney:
Mr. Deloatch and Mr. Martin of the A & T Dairy Farm have requested assistance from this office concerning
the management of waste produced by the dairy. They are specifically concerned about the waste
generated in the milking parlor.
This waste has been entering a septic tank system for disposal through underground septic line field. Up to
this time the county has been accepting the tank effluent when it has had to be emptied. However, the
county waste treatment plant can no longer accept this effluent.
The best alternative for the dairy would be to build a holding structure for this waste, so that it can be
properly disposed of through an irrigation system already being used by the swine unit. Rather than build
an earthen structure, I recommend a prefab concrete tank that is available through the Southeastern Silo
Company of Virginia. This kind of tank works very well when streams and topography prevent building
earthen structures. This tank is comparable in price to building an earthen structure and will be take less
space and be easier to maintain. Having a structure to hold the dairy manure for six months will also allow
the nutrients to be used as fertilizer rather than being wasted or lost.
This tank is now being reviewed by Natural Resource Conservation Service Engineers for use on a dairy
here in Guilford County and will eventually be approved for use anywhere in the state. This kind of tank
appears to be a very good product especially for smaller operations with special siting problems.
At this time, I do not know of another source of this product.
It is very important that something is done to contain this waste from the milking parlor. It is against NC
Regulations (15A NCAC 2B .0200) for anyone to cause a water quality standard violation. It is also a
violation to allow wastewater to reach surface waters either directly through some man-made conveyance
system (e.g., pipe or ditch) or through runoff from storm events less severe than a 25 year, 24 hour storm
(5.7 inches).
Please let me know if further information is needed. I will be working with the dairy to develop a proper
Nutrient Management Plan.

Dear Mr. Howard:
RECi�I VED
DePuP EHNR
r
Q,CT !1)- 19g3;
In late March of this year we had the misfortune to have the lagoon at the North Carolina
A&T State University Swine Unit exceed its capacity and discharge into South Buffalo Creek. This
was not done intentionally but was caused by the record rain and an inability to irrigate from the
second stage of the lagoon. Regardless, the lagoon exceeded its ca acity and a discharge did occur.
We have been working to reduce the level of the lagoon by using the lagoon water to irrigate forage
for our other livestock enterprises.
We have been working with our local extension specialist and our county agent, Mr. Paul
Walker, to develop a plan to insure that the lagoon will not discharge into Buffalo Creek. The
recommendations made by Mr. Larry Coble in his letter of April 6, 1993 have been studied and to
the best of our ability we have taken some action on each recommendation. Specific actions that
have been taken a —re:
1. Repair of a stand alone irrigation pump to allow for irrigation of forage crops located at
the facility.
2. Purchase of a reel irrigation system that allows for efficient dispersal of lagoon water onto
the identified forage. Additional irrigation resources have also been purchased.
3. Implementation of a water use plan within the 160 sow total confinement facility. Water
utilization by means of reduced flow time and installation of nipple waterers to allow for
water consumption only on an as need basis.
4. Implementation of an irrigation plan that disperses approximately 1/2 acre inch of lagoon
water, taken from the second stage of the lagoon, to the forage acreage. This provides for
the dispersion of approximately 1 acre/foot of water each week that environmental condi-
tions are favorable for irrigation.
5. Soil and cropspecialists have been contacted to develop a soil monitoring system to
evaluate the effect of the irrigation plan.

6. A plan has been developed to obtain pumping assistance from a third party if the lagoon
reaches a limit of I foot of free board from its maximum capacity.
Since the irrigation plan was implemented the level of the first stage has been reduced to its
designed operation capacity of approximately 262,735 cubic feet and maintains two feet of free-
board. The second stage has lowered to approximately two feet below its capacity (162,295 cubic
feet) allowing for four feet of freeboard. Our intent is to reduce the second stage to a proximately
one third of its capacity (8 feet below maximum - six feet below the working capacity , prior to the
.fall of the year.
Based on the six actions that have been implemented it is our belief that the lagoons at the
swine facility will not attain their maximum level, therefore they will not directly discharge into
South -Buffalo Creek.. Accordingly, we hope the modifications to the lagoon as described and man-
agement of the same has eliminated the discharge of waste into Buffalo Creek and has freed the
University from the need to apply for a NPDE�permit.
We will continue to work to insure proper management of our lagoon waste. Relationships
with extension specialists and local resources to manage this facility in an environmentally sound
manner have been implemented and will continue in the future.

A follow-up inspection was performed on the animal waste handling system at the
N.C. A&T Swine Farm by Mr. Mike Mickey -and Mr. Ron Linville of this office on August
25, 1993. Dr. Fields Gunsett and Mr. Chris Couch were present for the inspection.
Observations at the site revealed that conditions have improved since the previous
March 29, 1993 site visit. The pump had been repaired and an irrigation reel purchased to
allow for more consistent pumping, as evidenced by the fact that the freeboard in the lagoons
was greater than eighteen inches. It appears that recommendation No.s 1 and 4 in your May
_ 5, 1993, letter have been accomplished. However, in order to adequately handle the animal
wastes during wintertime: -conditions,, it -is -our -offices -recommendation -that -additional
irrigation pipe be installed to reach the 40 acres of fields at the entrance to the swine farm.
Furthermore, a dedicated pump should be purchased to replace the old tractor driven pumps
currently being utilized for lagoon pumping.
Our office appreciates the efforts undertaken by the N.C. A&T State University to
date. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Mike Mickey or me at [phone].

Dear Dr. Webb:
On March 29, 1993, Mr. Mike Mickey and Mr. David Russell of
this office met with Mr. Chris Couch and Dr. Ray McKinney at the
N.C. A&T Swine Farm. The inspection was prompted by a recent
complaint concerning the overflowing swine lagoon. Observations at
the site revealed that wastewater was overflowing the top of the
lagoon and that the animal wastes were entering South Buffalo
Creek. Samples and photographs were taken to document the
discharge.
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. The discharge from the lagoon
must be ceased immediately. The following recommendations for
improving the waste handling situation were provided during the
site visit:
1) Repair and reinstall the irrigation pump for the lagoon
wastewater that has been inoperable since October 1992.
2) Purchase a pumper truck or additional irrigation pipe and
spray heads so that wastewater can be applied to other
fields on the research farm. The existing site dedicated
for irrigation is not adequate.

Phone Number: 919 334-7979
Description of facility location (State Road No.'s, etc.): The swine
farm is located _on J. F.H. Dairy Road _off of McConnell Road lust east of
Greensboro.
Type of Operation (Examples: farrow to finish, topping, dairy, swine,
cattle, chickens -layers or broilers, turkey production, etc.): The host
operation consists of approximately 216 sows. The feeder pigs are
shipped out at 50 to 60 Dounds.
Number and Type of Animals or Animal Units: 216 sows plus_ feeder pigs
(approximately 1200 animals totall.
Length of time animals have been, are, or will be stabled, or confined
and fed or maintained in any 12 month period.' 160 sows are confined
permanently in barns_. 56 sows are maintained _i.n_ a permanent area
outside.
Are crops, vegetation forage growth, or post -harvest residues sustained
in the normal growing season over any portion of the lot or facility?
No vegetation or other_ materials are present on _the outside area.
Description of other animal operations in immediate vicinity and
proximity to same or other surface waters: None known.
Proximity of facility to neighboring houses, wells, etc.:
No residences or wells known to exist with a 1000 ft of the animal
operation.
Approximate Depth of groundwater table in the area of the facility or
discharge: Not known.
Proximity of facility to surface waters (provide name and class of
surface waters: The animal wastes flowed overland and through a swampy
area approximatelyapproxinately 2000 ft before reachina South Buffalo Creek Class
"C" waters.

Are pollutants discharged into the waters of the State? If so, How?
(directly or by man-made ditch, flushing system, or other similar man-
made device): On March 29, 1993, WSRO documented an illegal discharge
from the overflowing animal waste lagoon. The wastewater then flowed
overland to the creek.
Do or have discharges occurred in response to a storm event of less
than a 25 year, 24 hour intensity? (If yes, include a brief listing of
incidents and suspected causes): The discharge did not occur due to a
storm event. The discharge was caused by the failure of farm personnel
to repair an irrigation pump that had been inoperable since 10/92.
Type of Waste Management (Examples: type of confinement -free stall
barns, sheltered or limited shelter dirt lots, paved or dirt open lots,
swine houses, pasture; type of waste handling -direct spreading in solid
form, slotted floor with lagoon or pit, single or multi -cell lagoon,
aerated lagoon, land application of liquid manure, spray irrigation,
contractor disposal, etc.). Approximately 160 sows are confined in
several barns with slotted floors. Recycle water from the lagoon is
used to flush the wastes from the barns to the single lagoon. The 56
sows outside are confined in two different locations. Part are
confined at the "coop site" which consists of small pens located over
three concrete pads (8' X 120' each) that drain to the lagoon. since
the "coop site" is not covered, any rain water that falls on the site
reaches the lagoon. wastewater from the -lagoon -is then -pumped to fixed
spray heads located on a nearby field. The outside confined area
consists of a dirt lot with limited shelter. Any runoff from the site
flows through a grassy area and not to the lagoon_
Condition of waste management facility (rate as poor -good, no
discharge, sufficient freeboard in lagoon, etc. Include weather
conditions during inspection). The waste management system appeared
adequate. The discharge was the result .of inadequate management.No
freeboard was present since the irrigation pump had been inoperable
since _10/92 .
Animal waste discharge (including photos and witness' names, addresses,
telephone numbers and statement of fact). See photographs,
correspondence and map attached in Appendix C.
Water Quality Assessment: (Include description of sampling, field
measurements, visual observations and slope and vegetative cover of
land adjacent to water, extent of rainfall and other factors relative
to the likelihood or rainfall and other factors relative to the
likelihood or frequency of discharge of animal wastes and process
wastewaters). Samples were collected on 3-29-92 from the lagoon
overflow and the swam downstream from the site. No upstream sample
point was available. The results were as follows (See laboratory forms_
and chain of custody forms in Appendix B).

SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Illegal Wastewater Discharge
N.C. AST Swine Farm
Guilford County
Dear Dr. Webb:
On March 29, 1993, Mr. Mike Mickey and Mr. David Russell of
this office met with Mr. Chris Couch and Dr. Ray McKinney at the
N.C. A&T Swine Farm. The inspection was prompted by a recent
complaint concerning the overflowing swine lagoon. observations at
the site revealed that wastewater was overflowing the top of the
lagoon and that the animal wastes were entering South Buffalo
Creek. Samples and photographs were taken to document the
discharge.
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. The discharge from the lagoon
must be ceased immediately. The following recommendations for
improving the waste handling situation were provided during the
site visit:
1) Repair and reinstall the irrigation pump for the lagoon
wastewater that has been inoperable since October 1992.
2) Purchase a pumper truck or additional irrigation pipe and
spray heads so that wastewater can be applied to other
fields on the research farm. The existing site dedicated
for irrigation is not adequate.

3) Replace the existing water trough system with nipple
waterers.
4) Maintain one foot of freeboard in the lagoon at all
times. The lagoon should be pumped down at least three
feet during favorable weather conditions to allow for
adequate storage.
5) Cover the coop site to prevent excess stormwater from
entering the lagoon.
You are requested to respond in writing to our Winston-Salem
Regional Office on or before April 30, 1993, advising what
corrective actions have been or will be initiated to prevent
future illegal discharges from the swine lagoon. Please be aware
that until compliance is achieved with regulations, the N.C. A&T
Swine farm will be considered to be in violation and could be
subject to enforcement action with the possible assessment of
civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day per violation. In
addition, our office is in the process of preparing the necessary
documentation to officially designate the swine farm as a
"Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation". This designation will
subject the operation to all environmental regulations.
Your cooperation in this matter would be appreciated. If
you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mr.
Steve Mauney, Mr. Mike Mickey or me at [phone].

Dear Mr. Coble:
i am responding to your letter to me of April 6, 1993; Subject:
Notice of Violation Illegal Wasterwater Discharge at N. C. A&T Swine
Farm. The following statements describe corrective actions that have
been taken since your on -site visit involving university personnel to
discuss the wastewater problem.
1 } Repair and install an irrigation Irrigation pump has been repaired and we are
pump for the lagoon. using this currently to lower the water level of the
lagoon. We continue to pump so as to increase free-
board from 8" at present to 12" or more as
recommended.
2) Purchase a pump truck or Irrigation equipment has been ordered from Mid -
additional irrigation pipe Atlantic Irrigation Company. A contract has been
and spray heads in order to submitted to Chatman Custom Pumping in Snow
apply wastewater from Camp, NC; but due to back log will not be able to
lagoons to other fields at the serve A&T before early summer. Custom Pumping
research farm. would reduce water level by additional 18 inches.
3) Replace the existing water This recommendation has not been met due to
trough system with nipple funding constraints. However, plans call for
waterers. installing nipple waters throughout the facility

RE: Amendments for Lagoons at N. C. A&T State University
Swine Facility
Dear Mr. Coble:
I am responding to your letter to me of April 6, 1993; Subject:
Notice of Violation Illegal Wasterwater Discharge at N. C. A&T Swine
Farm. The following statements describe corrective actions that have
been taken since your on -site visit involving university personnel to
discuss the wastewater problem.
r - - ,' r1 -I-A
1) Repair and install an irrigation Irrigation pump has been repaired and we are
pump for the lagoon. using this currently to lower the water level of the
lagoon. We continue to pump so as to increase free-
board from 8" at present to 12" or more as
recommended.
2) Purchase a pump truck or
additional irrigation pipe
and spray heads in order to
apply wastewater from
lagoons to other fields at the
research farm.
3) Replace the existing water
trough system with nipple
waterers.
Irrigation equipment has been ordered from Mid -
Atlantic Irrigation Company. A contract has been
submitted to Chatman Custom Pumping in Snow
Camp, NC; but due to back log will not be able to
serve A&T before early summer. Custom Pumping
would reduce water level by additional 18 inches.
This recommendation has not been met due to
funding constraints. However, plans call for
installing nipple waters throughout the facility

Freeboard presently is at 8 inches. Continuous
pumping presently underway plus custom pumping
