As we discussed, the swine houses were constructed in the early 70's, possibly before his neighbor moved in across the street. His initial Certification states that everything met the Act at that time. Christine, if I am reading everything correctly: If one of the current swine house(s) doesn't meet the Siting Act now, he can renovate, but not construct any closer to the residence, unless he gets permission and it is recorded with the Register of Deeds. Is this right?

As we discussed, the renovations are allowable so long and it is done in compliance with the Siting Act. The Siting Act established setback distances required from swine lagoons and barns to specific places such as residences, churches, property lines, etc. The Siting Act consists of multiple sections and they are listed below: G.S. 106-800 —Title G.S. 106-801— Purpose G.S. 106-802 — Definitions G.S. 106-803 - Siting requirements for swine houses, lagoons, and land areas onto which waste is ar�p_lied at -swine farms G.S. 106-804 — Enforcement G.S. 106-805 — Written Notice of Swine Farms G.S. 106-806 — Construction or renovation of swine houses at preexisting swine farms. I repeat my strong recommendation that you take the time to document using a current aerial photograph the current distances from the existing barns to any of the listed setback criteria. I strongly suggest you also do this for your current land application areas. You need to have it documented from when you established the barns/sprayfields, particularly if homes, or other facilities have since been constructed near your facility. By documenting where the current barns, land application areas, and lagoons are, you can #1. Ensure you continue to comply with all aspect of the Siting Act and #2. Establish a record of the same. Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can be of further assistance. Christine B.

Do. not click links or open attachments unless verified. Send all suspicious email as an attachment to�� report.spdm@nc , Ms. Lawson, We have exsisting hog houses in Guilford County and are permitted for 1470 hogs (this is our lagoon permit capacity). Our houses are old and out dated and in order to get a contract we need to build a new house. There seems to be a lot of confussion as to the rules for new construction. We have been working with Melissa Rosebrock and she has been very helpful. However, the lender Farm Credit has been told we can not build and needs comething in writing saying we can. The person we are speaking/working with is Kyla Kraven and she has said we mst speak with you about an application? My husband has called twice and left a message (mon. 12-18-17 and toes. 12-19-17). We need to make sure we are contacting the right number and get what ever questions, permits and applications in the works as soon as possible. Every 30 days the equipment quote goes up ..... by a large amount. The first step is to assure that we can build and get the lender on board if we can. Plaese help us Our contact invormation is Bruce Humble 336-264-1496 --- we are located at 6632 Smithwood Road, Liberty, NC 27298 Thank you in advance for your help.

The section regarding renovation of barns/reconstruction of barns in G.S 106-806. There are a few key points that must be considered for renovation/reconstruction that are found in 106-806(b). They are: • It cannot result in an increase in the permitted steady state live weight (unless a new permit is issued subject to G.S. 143-215.101. and 15A NCAC 02T .1307-1308) • Renovations do not result in an increase in the capacity of the treatment system. �• It does not.result in any portion of the'constructed/renovated'swine houses being -located any closer to the building/property, that isthe_object pf'the,siting requirement that the- swine house currently fails to 'meet.,(if.at all) This one is kev. Make sure to check;setbacks listed in-G.S.-106-803 • Regardless of the original footprint, you cannot rebuild in the 100 year flood plain. Otherwise, the division has no issue with ration of barns. The owner needs to doclent on a current (and dated) aerial photo all relevant setbacks. Actually mark R distance to residences, schools, etc. The owner needs to establish this benchmark to protect himself from potential future claims of encroachment. The owner is recommended to send a copy of that information to the division as well. Christine B.

The numbers are approximate since a technical specialist is probably using a software program that may use different coefficients but you get an idea. Note that the amount of PAN goes up slightly as well as the waste volume produced. Again, discuss this with the technical specialist. According to our permitting folks, a new application is not needed unless the name, address, etc. has changed. We do need a letter from the producer stating what he/she wants to do, including the estimated date for the new animals. Also, the technical specialist will need to complete a new certification form and new waste plan. Both of these must accompany the request letter. Hope this answers your questions. Let me know if you need anything else.

Worksheet for sludge volume and treatment volume Revised August 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 "Prismoidat Equations" may be used. 1 _ Average sludge Layer Thickness (T) 2.

Ratio ( R ) of sludge layer volume to total Treatment Volume R = VsNz 0.38 0.12 If the ratio R exceeds 0.50, than a sludge Plan of Action may be required. Check with DWQ for information on filing the Plan of Action. 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) 1(Vz - DSSV) Example: if DSSV = 85,000 ft3, then R = (169,860 - 85,000) 1(447,174 - 85,000) = 84,860 / 362,174 = 0.24. 16, Design sludge storage volume (DSSV) 85,000 17.

The dimensions of the lagoon as measured and the side slope are needed for calculations of sludge volume and of total treatment volume. ff 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. 1.

Humble 6653 Smithwood Road Liberty, NC 27298 SUBJECT: Notice of Violation/Notice of Intent to Enforce Permit Conditions Violations #NOV-2015-PC-0063 Certificate of Coverage #AWS410016 Guilford County Dear Mr. Humble: Donald van der Vaart Secretary On March 19, 2015 staff from the Division of Water Resources' Winston-Salem Regional Office (DWR-WSRO) performed a scheduled compliance inspection at your permitted swine operation in Guilford County. A final copy of the report is attached for your review. During the inspection Ms. Rosebrock observed the following: Violations and Concerns 1) Animal waste management records indicate that the waste level in the lower stage lagoon has been at or above the maximum liquid level since January 1, 2015. Additionally, the waste level was at the maximum liquid mark on the date of the inspection. Failure to maintain the waste level below the maximum specified in the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) is a violation of Condition V.2 of the Swine Waste Management System General Permit (Permit). Failure to maintain adequate freeboard was also documented in the October 2013 Compliance Inspection report. 2) The DWR-WSRO did not receive a report by telephone of the non -compliant waste level events occurring in the lower stage lagoon prior to the March 19, 2015 inspection. Failure to report within twenty-four (24) hours following first knowledge of the non -compliant waste level is a violation of Condition III.13.e. of the Permit. Note that a previous citation was issued in 2004 for the same violation (December 2004 NOV). 3) A review of the animal waste management records indicates that the required sludge survey for the upper and lower stage lagoons was not conducted in 2014. Failure to conduct a survey of the sludge accumulation as required by the permit is a violation of Conditions III.18.Our records indicate that you were reminded during the 2012, 2013 and 2014 inspections that -the sludge survey was to be completed by the end of 2014. 450 West Hanes Mill Road, Suite 300, Winston-Salem, NC 27105 Phone: 336-776-9800 \ Internet: www.ncwaterauality.org An Equal opportunity \ Affirmative Action Employer —Made in part by recycled paper CI Humble-NOI April 6, 2015 Page 2 4) A review of the onsite records also indicates that a calibration of the irrigation system was not completed in 2014. Specifically, the nozzle diameter and wetted diameter was not determined. Failure to test and calibrate all waste application equipment at least once every two years is a violation of Permit Condition I1.24.Our files indicate that you were reminded during the 2012, 2013 and 2014 inspections that a calibration was to be completed by the end of 2014. 5) Waste applications occurring in December 2014 did not have an associated waste analysis performed within 60 days. Failure to conduct an analysis of the animal waste within 60 days (before or after) the date of application is a violation of Condition I11.5. of the Permit. This was also noted in a 2004 Notice of Violation (NOV). 6) Per Condition II.12., a protective vegetative cover shall be established and maintained on all earthen lagoons. On the date of the recent inspection; the embankment was denuded in several areas due to excessive cattle activity, resulting in a violation of the Permit. 7) Conditions II.1. and II.2. of the Permit state that the land application fields shall be maintained with a vegetative cover. Fields 4, 6, and 7 were observed to be denuded due to ongoing excessive cattle activity. These fields are thus not available for land application since the fescue crop is insufficient for nutrient utilization. Corrective Actions: 1) The animal waste level in the lower stage lagoon must be brought into compliance by the proper application of waste in accordance with the CAWMP and Permit. 2) A sludge survey of both the upper and lower stage lagoons must be conducted and results recorded on the appropriate forms. 3) A complete and thorough calibration must be conducted and recorded on appropriate forms. Please see your technical specialist for a copy of the irrigation system specifications as this information was not available during the March 14t' inspection. You will need this data to complete the calibration. 4) A reminder to download a copy of the most recent waste analysis result for your March 2015 applications. Please contact your technical specialist for assistance. 5) Cattle must be excluded from the lagoon embankment immediately and permanent vegetation re-established as soon as possible. 6) If the cattle are to continue to be grazed on the application fields, then the stocking rate should be lowered such that a vegetative cover can be maintained at all times. We strongly urge your continued cooperation with the Guilford County SWCD/NRCS to develop a cattle grazing plan.

In reading the Laboratory Results section, remember that materials with < 15% dry matter (generally liquids) are analyzed as received; all other wastes are dried first. Values in the Estimate of Nutrients Available for First Crop section are based on the type of waste and method of application you specify and reflect the fact that only 40-60% of the nitrogen and 70-100% of other nutrients become available within one year of application. The remainder may or may not ever become available. ` ppm = parts per million; S = siemens; mS = millisiemens; T = trace (<0.005 lb/unit); EC = electrical conductivity; CCE = calcium carbonate equivalence; ALE = agricultural lime equivalence, pH = acidity or basicity; DM% _ % dry matter [for semi -solid and solid waste samples, this value facilitates conversion of dry -basis concentrations (ppm) back to wet -basis of original sample]; C:N ratio = carbon:nitrogen ratio. .North Carolina 4 Tahm'o Truu.fund Cammlf�kar Reprogramming of the laboratory -information -management system that makes this report possible is being funded through a grant from the North Carolina Tobacco Trust Fund Commission.

With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement for the two lagoons at Bruce Humble Farm facility. Due to the amount of treatment volume available, the Division agrees that a sludge survey is not needed until 2014 for both lagoons. The next sludge survey at this facility should be performed before December 31, 2014.' Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please call me at (919) 715-6937 if you have any questions.

Distance from the lagoon liquid surface to the bottom (soil) of the lagoon. 15' PVC pipe, 14' long 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): 1 (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. 0.4 acres x 6 = 6 , with maximum of 24. (Using sketch and dimensions, develop a uniform grid tha 7 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): J. Determine the distance from the top of bank to the Maximum Liquid Level (use lagoon management plan or other lagoon records) K. Determine the distance from the Maximum Liquid to the Minimum Liquid level: (use lagoon management plan or other lagoon records) L. Calculate the distance from the present liquid surface level to the Minimum Liquid Level (Item K Minus Item I, 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) 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): 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): 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.

Appendix 3. Worksheet for sludge volum4streatment volume Rev%ugust 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.

Then, R = (Vs-DSSV) / (Vz - DSSV) Example: If DSSV = 85,000 ft3, then R = (169,860 - 85,000) 1 (447,174 - 85,000) = 84,860 / 362,174 = 0.24. 16. Design sludge storage volume (DSSV) 85,000 17.

With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement for the lower lagoon at the Bruce A. Humble facility not to be required until 2009. Due to the amounts of treatment XOUurqe available, the Division agrees that a sludge survey is not needed for the lower lagoon unti 2009. 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) 715-6937.

Humble 6632 Smithwood Road Liberty, NC 27298 December 2, 2004 SUBJECT: Notice of Violation - Compliance Inspection Bruce Humble Farm, #41-16 Guilford County Dear Mr. Humble: As you recall, Melissa Rosebrock of the Division of Water Quality's Winston-Salem Regional Office (DWQ-WSRO) performed a compliance inspection at your swine farm on October 21, 2004. While most all of the animal waste activities appeared to be in order, there are other concerns that warrant your attention. A copy of the inspection is attached for your review. In reviewing the on -farm records pertaining to animal waste management, Ms. Rosebrock noted that the waste level in the lower stage lagoon had been two inches above the maximum liquid mark during the fall of this year. While the freeboard infraction occurred during a period of excess precipitation (hurricanes), the permit still requires that you report high waste levels to the WSRO. Per the permit, high freeboard levels must be reported (Section III. #13c). Additionally, waste applied to receiving fields in the spring of 2004 did not have ocomp g waste analysis performed within 60 days of application. The Permit states that an analyl waste shall be conducted as close to the time of application as practical and at least wite date of application (section IIL #S). Thank you for your attention to the above violations. If you have any questions concerning this Notice, please contact Melissa Rosebrock or me at (336) 771-4600. Sincerely, p Sherri V.

At this pressure the pump would need to run at 112 psi. The gun would be putting out 154 Gallons per Minute and the spacing would need to be 210 feet. Forthis operation a total of 53.0 acre -inches would need to be applied each year. Or every six months 24.3 acre -inches will be applied. Applying waste at 0.34 inch per hour for 2 hours at a time should not cause any runoff. A maximum of 4.5 cycles may be applied on fields 1,2,3(8udan or Crabgrass), and 6 (for a total application time of 9 hours), in order to apply the waste and achieve agronomic rates. Observe a waiting time of 2-3 days between cycles. Field 3 (for Pearl Millet or Annual Ryagress) a maximum of 3.5 cycles or 7 hours of total application time may be applied. Fields 4 and 7 should only have 4 cycles (total application time of 8 hours). At 65.2 6bs of N per Ac4nch, this will result in applications of N very close to the RYE for the crop being used.

Depi. of LEHNR AUG 07 2000 Winston --,SC iem Regional Office Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination Animal Waste Management System Bruce A. Humble Facility Number 41-16 Guilford County A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your plan. An evaluation by Rocky Durham on 5/24/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X". Category, 1: The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Rocky .Durham the necessary information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre determination. Please submit this information to Rocky Durham, at 919 North Main Street, Mooresville, NC 28115, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any questions please contact Rocky Durham at (704) 663-1699. If within 90 days you are unable to provide Rocky Durham with the information you are automatically required to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2 below, within 180 days of receipt of this letter. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone 919-733-5083 Fax 919-715-6048 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper s Notification for Wettable Acre Determination Animal Waste Management System Page 2 Category 2: ❑ Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal waste. 'Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. In order.to resolve,this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him or her conduct'a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct Wettable Acre'Determinati6ps. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this designation, or a Professional Engineer. All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWQ within the next 180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation, and/or injunctive relief. Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification. - Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting requirement.

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.
