This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until May 31, 2020, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and limitations: I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS Any discharge of waste that reaches surface waters or wetlands is prohibited except as otherwise provided in this Pennit and associated statutory and regulatory provisions. Waste shall not reach surface waters or wetlands by runoff, drift, manmade conveyance, direct application, direct discharge or through ditches not otherwise classified as state waters. The waste collection, treatment_, storage and application system operated under this Pennit shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent the discharge of pollutants to surface waters or wetlands. Application of waste to terraces and grassed waterways is acceptable as long as it is applied in accordance with Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Standards and does not result in a discharge of waste to surface waters or wetlands. Facilities must be designed, constructed and operated to contain all waste plus the runoff from a 25-year, 24-hour rainfall event for the location of the facility. A facility that has a discharge of waste that results because of a storm event more severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm will not be considered to be in violation of this Pennit if the facility is in compliance with its Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) and this Permit. Any discharge or application of waste to a ditch that drains to surface waters or wetlands is prohibited except as follows: (a) discharges from the ditches are controlled by best management practices (BMPs) designed in accordance with NRCS standards; (b) the BMPs have been submitted to and approved by the Division of Water Resources (Division); (c) the BMPs were implemented as designed to prevent a discharge to surface waters or wetlands; (d) the waste was removed immediately from the ditch upon discovery; and (e) the event was documented and reported in accordance with Part 111.13. of this Pert -nit. Nothing in this exception shall excuse a discharge to surface waters or wetlands except as may result because of rainfall from a storm event more severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm.

V. PENALTIES 1. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this Permit; the facility's CAWMP; and/or applicable state law; may subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division including but not limited to the modification of the animal waste management system, civil penalties, criminal penalties and injunctive relief. The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this Permit. Any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of state law and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit coverage termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit coverage renewal application. ' It shall not be a defense for a Permittee in an enforcement action to claim that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the pennitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the conditions of this Permit. 12 VII. DEFINITIONS 25-year, 24-hour rainfall or storm event means the maximum 24-hour precipitation event with a probable recurrence interval of once in 25 years, as defined by the National Weather Service in Technical Paper Number 40, `Rainfall Frequency Atlas of the United States," May 1961, and subsequent amendments, or equivalent regional or state rainfall probability information developed therefrom. Agronomic rates means the amount of animal waste and/or other nutrient sources to be land applied to lands as contained in the nutrient management standard of the USDA Soil Conservation Service Technical Guide Section IV or as recommended by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service at the time of certification of the Animal Waste Management Plan by the appropriate technical specialist. Amendment to the CAWMP means a change and/or addition to a part(s) of the plan, and requires that the change and/or addition adhere to current applicable standards, The following are examples of amendments to the CAWMP: • In an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes 25% or less of the N generated is considered a plan amendment. Additional acreage needed to facilitate the change in crops and/or cropping pattern is permissible and considered part of the amendment. • The addition of winter crops and/or interseeded perennial crops are considered amendments to an existing CAWMP when the operation does not require additional acreage and/or crops for N utilization, and does not exceed the 25% criteria stated above. • When a CAWMP cannot meet N utilization requirements due to land lost to irrigation inefficiency (usable versus total acres), then the CAWMP may be amended to increase available acreage and/or change the crop for N utilization. This is the only exception to the 25% N criteria for plan revision. • Inclusions of emergency action plans, and insect, odor and, mortality checklists are considered CAWMP amendments. • Including additional acreage for land application beyond what is required in the existing CAWMP is considered a plan amendment. Animal feeding operation means a lot or facility (other than an aquatic animal production facility) where the following conditions are met: (i) animals (other than aquatic animals) have been, are, or will be stabled or confined and fed or maintained for a total of forty five (45) days or more in any twelve (12) month period, and (ii) crops, vegetation, forage growth, or post -harvest residues are not sustained in the normal growing season over any portion of the lot or facility. Two or more animal feeding operations under common ownership are considered to be a single animal feeding operation if they adjoin.each other, or if they use a common area or system for the disposal of wastes. Ditch means any man made channel for the purpose of moving water off a site to the surface waters. Excessive Ponding means any area of the application field where visible liquid waste is ponded on the surface of the land application site more than four (4) hours following the application of waste. Excessive ponding also means any areas where the ponding of waste has resulted in crop failure. Groundwaters means any subsurface waters, as defined in 15A NCAC 2L .0102 Land application means the application of wastewater and/or waste solids onto or incorporation into the soil. 13 Major changes to the CAWMP means changes in the number of animals, type of operation (feeder to finish to wean to feeder), retrofit of a storage pond, installation of a new irrigation system, and similar type changes. Recertification is only required for major changes to the CAWMP. Major changes to a facility must first be approved by DWQ. The new CAWMP and the certification shall be submitted with a request that the permit be amended to reflect the changes. The facility may not make the changes until a new or amended permit has been issued. Revision to the CAWMP means a change to an entire CAWMP to meet current applicable standards. A CAWMP must be revised if the operation cannot utilize all N nitrogen generated by the animal production in accordance with the existing CAWMP, except for the specific conditions. noted in the CAWMP amendment criteria as previously defined. For an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes more than 25% of -the N generated by the operation is considered a plan revision. Any change to an existing-CAWMP, whether an amendment or revision, must be signed and dated by both the producer and a technical specialist for the new CAWMP to be valid. A revision of the CAWMP does not require recertification. State Waters means all surface waters, wetlands, groundwaters and waters of the United States located in the State. Surface Waters means any stream, river, brook, swamp, lake, sound, tidal estuary, bay, creek, reservoir, waterway, or other surface body or surface accumulation of water, whether public or private, or natural or artificial, that is contained in, flows through, or borders upon any portion of the State of North Carolina, including any portion of the Atlantic Ocean over which the State has jurisdiction as well as any additional Waters of the United States which are located in the State. Waste means manure, other animal waste, any process water as a byproduct of milk production, bottling and ice cream making activity, and sludge generated at an animal feeding operation. Wetlands means areas that are inundated or saturated by an accumulation of surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances do support a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions, as defined in 15A NCAC 2B .0202.

The rinse water rriay confaifi ssoap and trce amounts of milk products. The ice cream wash and rinse water may produce up to 2.5 gallons per day and contain soap with trace amounts of ice-cream, flavorings and sugar. The bottling and ice cream production operations take place only on weekdays, not on weekends. WASTE APPLICATION: The'lfolding pond receives all waste from milking parlor, small unroofed areas of holding lot, walkways, and the water used in bottling and ice cream operation. There is a new roofed dry pack barn that will hold MOST of waste. This waste will be applied with solids manure spreader. this spreader holds-- - -- - approximately 29,000 lbs, or 14.5 tons of manure and bedding. The irrigation system will be used on fields of corn, small grains, hay and pasture. The operator is using a traveling,gun to apply the waste to 75.0 acres of effective coverage. The Lrun, a Nelson SR 200 w/ring nozzle, will be applying 0.4 inches/hour at a pump pressure of 90 psi. Ayt a travel speed of 4.3 ft/min, the operator will be applying .5 inches and 13,577 gallons per acre. At the pond's 981,592 gallon max. capacity there.will be a maximum of 36 ac-inches to be applied every 6 months.. However, actual application by irrigation should be considerably less, with the new dry pack barn in use. OTHER NOTES'.

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

Infiltration rate varies with soils. If applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system, you must apply at a rate that will not result in runoff. This table provides the maximum application rate per hour that may be applied to each held selected to receive wastewater. It also lists the maximum application amount that each field may receive in any one application event.

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number ofdays of storage capacity available at the end of each month of the plan. Available storage capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero. Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less ,than or equal to the design storage capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated. If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger.of drift from the land application field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland When waste is applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance). ------- - - -------------- -----------p-------------- 684345 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 1/21/2015 Specification Page 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies. S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters. 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 684345 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 1/21/2015 Specification Page 2 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. lb. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 684345 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 1/21/2015 Specification Patre 3 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. 684345 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 1/21/2015 Specification Pace 4 Crop Notes Fescue: Piedmont The following crop note applies to field(s): 7 Adaptation: Well -adapted.

Guilford County FOR THE continued operation of an animal waste collection, treatment, and land application system with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average 9 25 dairy cattle, and a milking and ice cream parlor from which the waste will be stored and treated in the animal waste treatment system, with no discharge of wastes to the surface waters, pursuant to the application received December 10, 2009, and in conformity with the project plan; specifications, and other supporting data subsequently filed and approved by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and considered a part of this permit. This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until December 31, 2014, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and limitations; I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS Any discharge of waste that reaches surface waters or wetlands is prohibited except as otherwise provided in this Permit and associated statutory and regulatory provisions. Waste shall not reach surface waters or wetlands by runoff, drift, manmade conveyance, direct application, direct discharge or through ditches not otherwise classified as state waters. The waste collection, treatment, storage and application system operated under this Permit shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent the discharge of pollutants to surface waters or wetlands. Application of waste to terraces and grassed waterways is acceptable as long as it is applied in accordance with Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Standards and does not result in a discharge of waste to surface waters or wetlands. Facilities must be designed, constructed and operated to contain all waste plus the runoff from a 25-year, 24-hour rainfall event for the location of the facility. A facility that has a discharge of waste that results because of a storm event more severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm will not be considered to be in violation of this Permit if the facility is in compliance with its Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) and this Permit. Any discharge or application of waste to a ditch that drains to surface waters or wetlands is prohibited except as follows: (a) discharges from the ditches are controlled by best management practices (BMPs) designed in accordance with NRCS standards; (b) the BMPs have been submitted to and approved by the Division of Water Quality (Division); (c) the BMPs were implemented as designed to prevent a discharge to surface waters or wetlands; (d) the waste was removed immediately from the ditch upon discovery; and (e) the event was documented and reported in accordance with Part II1.13. of this Permit. Nothing in this exception shall excuse a discharge to surface waters or wetlands except as may result because of rainfall from a storm event more severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm. This Permit does not allow the Permittee to cause a violation of any of the water quality standards established pursuant to Title 15A, Subchapter 2B of the North Carolina Administrative Code and Title 15A, Subchapter 2L of the North Carolina Administrative Code. The facility's CAWMP is hereby incorporated by reference into this Permit. The CAWMP must be consistent with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances, and standards (federal, state and local) in effect at the time of siting, design and certification of the facility. The Permittee must assess, on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of the implementation of the CAWMP. The Permittee must make "major changes," "revisions," or "amendments" to the CAWMP, as defined in Section VI1, "Definitions," of this Permit, in order to address any changes needed to maintain compliance with this Permit. "Major changes," "revisions," and "amendments" to the CAWMP must be documented, dated, and included as part of the CAWMP. "Major changes"' and "revisions" to the CAWMP shall be submitted to the appropriate Division Regional Office within thirty (30) calendar days of the "major change" or "revision." "Amendments" are not required to be submitted to the Division Regional Office unless specifically requested by the Division. If field, riser or pull numbers are changed, an explanation shall also be submitted and include a description of how the new numbers relate to the old numbers. Any violation of the CAWMP shall be considered a violation of this Permit and subject to enforcement actions. Any violation of this Permit may result in the Permittee having to take immediate or long-term corrective action(s) as required by the Division. These actions may include but are not limited to: modifying the CAWMP; ceasing land application of waste; removing animals from the facility; or the permit being reopened and modified, revoked and reissued, and/or terminated. Any proposed increase or modification to the annual average design capacity from that authorized by the permit will require a modification to the CAWMP and the permit prior to modification of the facility. Facilities located in watersheds sensitive to nutrient enrichment may be notified by the Division to conduct an evaluation of the facility and its CAWMP to determine the facility's ability to comply with the NRCS nutrient management standard as it relates to phosphorous. This evaluation will not be required until such time as the permittee is notified by the Division. The evaluation must be documented on forms supplied by or approved by the Division and must be submitted to the Division. This evaluation must be completed by existing facilities within twelve (12) months of receiving notification from the Division. For facilities located in watersheds sensitive to nutrient enrichment, all fields with a "HIGH" phosphorous -loss assessment rating shall have land application rates that do not exceed the established crop removal rate for phosphorous. There shall be no waste application on fields with a "VERY HIGH" phosphorous -loss assessment rating. Animal waste shall not be applied within 100 feet of any well with the exception of monitoring wells. The allowable distance to monitoring wells shall be established on a case -by -case basis by the Division. II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS 1. The collection, treatment, and storage facilities, and the land application equipment and fields shall be properly operated and maintained at all times. 2. A vegetative cover shall be maintained as specified in the facility's CAWMP on all land application fields and buffers in accordance with the CAWMP. No waste shall be applied upon areas not included in the CAWMP or upon areas where the crop is insufficient for nutrient utilization. However, if the CAWMP allows, then waste may be applied up to thirty (30) days prior to planting or breaking dormancy. Soil pH on all land application fields must be maintained in the optimum range for crop production. 4. Land application rates shall be in accordance with the CAWMP. In no case shall land application rates exceed the agronomic rate of the nutrient of concern for the receiving crop. In no case shall land application rates result in excessive ponding or any runoff during any given application event. b. Animal waste shall not be directly applied onto crops for direct human consumption that do not undergo further processing (e.g., strawberries, melons, lettuce, cabbage, apples, etc.) at any time during the growing season, or in the case of fruit bearing trees, following breaking dormancy. Application of animal wastes shall not occur within thirty (30) days of the harvesting of fiber and food crops for direct human consumption that undergoes further processing. If manure or sludges are applied on conventionally tilled bare soil, the waste shall be incorporated into the soil within two (2) days after application on the land, or prior to the next rainfall event, whichever occurs first. This requirement does not apply to no -till fields, pastures, or fields where crops are actively growing. No material other than animal wastes of the type generated on this facility shall be disposed of in the animal waste collection, treatment, storage, or application systems. This includes but is not limited to pesticides, toxic chemicals and petroleum products. 9. Domestic and/or industrial wastewater from showers, toilets, sinks, etc. shall not be discharged into the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and application system. Washing machines located in the milking parlors and used exclusively for washing rags used during milking; and wash vats required to be connected to the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and application system by Grade A Pasteurized Milk Ordinance Part II, Section 7, Item 5r are exempt from this requirement. Washdown of stock trailers owned by and used to transport animals to and from the facility only, will be permissible as long as the system has been evaluated and approved to accommodate the additional volume. Only those cleaning agents and soaps that are EPA approved according to their label, will not harm the cover crop, and will not contravene the groundwater standards listed in 15A NCAC 2L may be utilized in facilities covered by this Permit. Instruction labels are to be followed when using cleaning agents and soaps. 10. Disposal of dead animals resulting from normal mortality rates associated with the facility shall be done in accordance with the facility's CAWMP and the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (NCDA&CS) Veterinary Division's Statutes and regulations. Disposal of dead animals whose numbers exceed normal mortality rates associated with the facility shall also be done in accordance with the facility's CAWMP and NCDA&CS Veterinan, Division's Statutes and regulations provided that: 1) burial of such animals shall be done in consultation with the State Veterinarian of the NCDA&CS Veterinary Division's Statutes and in compliance with NCDA&CS regulations; 2) all such burial sites must be mapped, and the dates and numbers of the animals buried by type must be recorded; and 3) the map is submitted to the appropriate Regional Office Groundwater Section within fifteen (15) calendar days of burial. In the event of a state of emergency declared by the Governor, disposal of dead animals shall be done in accordance with requirements and guidelines dictated by the State Veterinarian according G.S. § 106-339.4. The Division may require groundwater monitoring when there is massive burial of animals. All burial sites of such animals must be mapped, and the dates and numbers of the animals buried by type must be recorded. 11. Uniess accounted for in temporary storage volume, all uncontaminated runoff from the surrounding property and buildings shall be diverted away from the waste storage ponds to prevent any unnecessary addition to the liquid volume in the structures. Runoff from lounging areas to the waste .storage ponds shall be prevented unless approved in the CAWMP. 12. A protective vegetative cover shall be established and maintained on all earthen storage pond embankments (outside toe of embankment to maximum pumping elevation), berms, pipe runs, and diversions to surface waters or wetlands. Trees, shrubs, and other woody vegetation shall not be allowed to grow on the storage pond embankments. All trees shall be removed in accordance with good engineering practices. Storage pond areas shall be accessible, and vegetation shall be kept mowed. 13. At the time of sludge removal from a storage pond, the sludge must be managed in accordance with the CAWMP.

DEFINITIONS 25-year, 24-hour rainfall or storm event means the maximum 24-hour precipitation event with a probable recurrence interval of once in 25 years, as defined by the National Weather Service in Technical Paper Number 40, "Rainfall Frequency Atlas of the United States," May 1961, and subsequent amendments, or equivalent regional or state rainfall probability information developed therefrom. Agronomic rates means the amount of animal waste and/or other nutrient sources to be land applied to lands as contained in the nutrient management standard of the USDA Soil Conservation Service Technical Guide Section IV or as recommended by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service at the time of certification of the Animal Waste Management Plan by the appropriate technical specialist. Amendment to the CAWMP means a change and/or addition to a part(s) of the plan, and requires that the change and/or addition adhere to current applicable standards. The following are examples of amendments to the CAWMP: • In an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes 25% or less of the N generated is considered a plan amendment. Additional acreage needed to facilitate the change in crops and/or cropping pattern is permissible and considered part of the amendment. • The addition of winter crops and/or interseeded perennial crops are considered amendments to an existing CAWMP when the operation does not require additional acreage and/or crops for N utilization, and does not exceed the 25% criteria stated above. • When a CAWMP cannot meet N utilization requirements due to land lost to irrigation inefficiency (usable versus total acres), then the CAWMP may be amended to increase available acreage and/or change the crop for N utilization. This is the only exception to the 25% N criteria for plan revision. • Inclusions of emergency action plans, and insect, odor and mortality checklists are considered CAWMP amendments. • Including additional acreage for land application beyond what is required in the existing CAWMP is considered a plan amendment.

Two or more animal feeding operations under common ownership are considered to be a single animal feeding operation if they adjoin each other, or if they use a common area or system for the disposal of wastes. Ditch means any man made channel for the purpose of moving water off a site to the surface waters. Excessive Ponding means any area of the application field where visible liquid waste,is ponded on the surface of the land application site more than four (4) hours following the application of waste. Excessive ponding also means any areas where the ponding of waste has resulted in crop failure. Groundwaters means any subsurface waters, as defined in l 5A NCAC 2L .0102. Land application means the application of wastewater and/or waste solids onto or incorporation into the soil. 13 Major changes to the CAWMP means changes in the number of animals, type of operation (feeder to finish to wean to feeder), retrofit of a storage pond, installation of a new irrigation system, and similar type changes. Recertification is only required for major changes to the CAWMP. Major changes to a facility must first be approved by DWQ. The new CAWMP and the certification shall be submitted with a request that the permit be amended to reflect the changes. The facility may not make the changes until a new or amended permit has been issued. Revision to the CAWMP means a change to an entire CAWMP to meet current applicable standards. A CAWMP must be revised if the operation cannot utilize all N nitrogen generated by the animal production in accordance with the existing CAWMP, except for the specific conditions noted in the CAWMP amendment criteria as previously defined. For an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes more than 25% of the N generated by the operation is considered a plan revision. Any change to an existing CAWMP, whether an amendment or revision, must be signed and dated by both the producer and a technical specialist for the new CAWMP to be valid.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters, which is not allowed under. DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conseNe nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste, is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. Bowman Daisy 04/27/2005 RECEIVED J DENR !

They are permitted, certified and licensed to distribute milk to local grocery stores as well as selling milk, butter and ice cream direct from their own storefront connected to the dairy operation. The milk bottling produces approximately 1500 gallons of wash and rinse water per day. This rinse water may contain soap and trace amounts of milk products. The ice cream wash and rinse water may produce up to 2.5 gallons per day and contain soap with trace amounts of ice cream, flavorings and sugar. The bottling and ice cream production operations take place only on weekdays, not on the weekends. Waste Application: The irrigation system will be used on fields of corn, small grains, hay and pasture. The holding pond receives all waste from the feed lot, milking parlor, and free -stall barn. It will receive the water used in proposed bottling operation. The operator is using a traveling gun to apply the waste to 74.9 acres of effective coverage. The gun, a Nelson SR 200 w/ ring nozzle, will be applying .4 inch/hour at a pump pressure of 90 psi. At a travel speed of 4.3 fUrninute, the operator will be applying .5 inch and 13,577 gallons per acre. At the holding pond's 981,592 gallon maximum capacity there will be a maximum of 36 acre -inches to be applied every6 months. However, according to the amount of waste produced, the Irrigation System will be used to apply approximately only 75.1 ac.-inches/year or 33.7 ac-in per 164-day cycle. See pages 2, 3 & 4. Land is available to apply 75 ac-in per year. Total wetted acres = 74.9 acres. Orchardgrass for hay may be planted in any of the above cropped fields. Apply at 225 lbs.

Bowman Dairy 04/27/05 6 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.] S. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. C. 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.] 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. Bowman Dairy 04/27/05 .) WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (Continued) 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, drainageways 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 washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 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. Bowman Dairy 04/27/05 8 I ff WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (Continued) 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 preplant 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 required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 23. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where animal waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when the metals approach excessive levels. Adjust pH for optimum crop production and maintenance. Soil and Waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for live years. 24. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

A 3" - 4" diameter white PVC pipe with a cap shall be placed at the maximum liquid level at elevation 97.2 . At no time should the effluent level rise above the maximum liquid level, which is 1.77 feet below the settled top of the dam. 2. A visual inspection of the waste storage pond will be performed at least twice a year. The inspector should check the condition of the dam and the emergency spillway if applicable. The inspector will need to look close for signs of slope failure or seepage on the back slope and toe of the dam. Also, a very close look will need to be made to check for signs of animal damage, ground hogs, muskrats, etc. Any problems found should be brought to the attention of the technical specialist for repair recommendations. 3. The waste storage pond will need to be mowed twice a year. All eroded areas or areas that do not have complete vegetative cover will be reseeded. The dam and all constructed slopes will need to be fertilized annually with 500 lbs. Of 10-10-10 per acre or its equivalent. 4. Maintain all waste handling equipment used for pumping, loading, hauling, spreading, etc. in accordance with owner's manuals. 5. All waste application shall be completed in accordance with the waste utilization plan. The waste storage ponds will be emptied at the end of each design storage period. These structures are designed for 180 days. See attached NC Agriculture Extension Service Waste Management Publication by Dr. James C. Barker for information on sampling and testing of the effluent.

This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until April 30, 20I0, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and limitations: 1. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS Any discharge of waste that reaches surface waters or wetlands is prohibited except as otherwise provided in this Permit and associated statutory and regulatory provisions. Waste shall not reach surface waters or wetlands by runoff, drift, manmade conveyance, direct application, direct discharge or through ditches not otherwise classified as state waters. The wastc collection, treatment, storage and application system operated under this Permit shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent the discharge of pollutants to surface waters or wetlands. Application of waste to terraces and grassed waterways is acceptable as long as it is applied in accordance with Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Standards and does not result in a discharge of waste to surface waters or wetlands. Facilities must be designed, constructed and operated to contain all waste plus the runoff from a 25-year, 24-hour rainfall event for the location of the facility. A facility that has a discharge of waste that results because of a storm event more severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm will not be considered to be in violation of this Permit if the facility is in compliance with its Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) and this Permit. Any discharge or application of waste to a ditch that drains to surface waters or wetlands is prohibited except as follows: (a) discharges from the ditches are controlled by best management practices (BMPs) designed in accordance with NRCS standards; (b) the BMPs have been submitted to and approved by the Division of Water Quality (Division); (c) the BMPs were implemented as designed to prevent a discharge to surface waters or wetlands; (d) the waste was removed immediately from the ditch upon discovery; and (e) the event was documented and reported in accordance with Part 11I.13. of this Permit. Nothing in this exception shall excuse a discharge to surface waters or wetlands except as may result because of rainfall from a storm event more severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm. No discharge of waste shall result in a violation of the water quality standards established for the receiving waters as per Title 15A, Subchapter 213, Section .0200 of the North Carolina Administrative Code and Title 15A, Subchapter 2L of the North Carolina Administrative Code. The facility's CAWMP is hereby incorporated by reference into this Permit.

The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this Permit. Any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of state law and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit coverage termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit coverage renewal application. It shall not be a defense for a Permittee in an enforcement action to claim that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the conditions of this Permit. VII. DEFINITIONS 25-year, 24-hour rainfall or storm event means the maximum 24-hour precipitation event with a probable recurrence interval of once in 25 years, as defined by the National Weather Service in Technical Paper Number 40, "Rainfall Frequency Atlas of the United States," May 1961, and subsequent amendments, or equivalent regional or state rainfall probability information developed therefrom. Agronomic rates means the amount of animal waste and/or other nutrient sources to be land applied to lands as contained in the nutrient management standard of the USDA Soil Conservation Service Technical Guide Section IV or as recommended by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service at the time of certification of the Animal Waste Management Plan by the appropriate technical specialist. Amendment to the CAWMP means a change and/or addition to a part(s) of the plan, and requires that the change and/or addition adhere to current applicable standards. The following are examples of amendments to the CAWMP: • In an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes 25% or less of the N generated is considered a plan amendment. Additional acreage needed to facilitate the change in crops and/or cropping pattern is permissible and considered part of the amendment. • The addition of winter crops and/or interseeded perennial crops are considered amendments to an existing CAWMP when the operation does not require additional acreage and/or crops for N utilization, and does not exceed the 25% criteria stated above. • When a CAWMP cannot meet N utilization requirements due to land lost to irrigation inefficiency (usable versus total acres), then the CAWMP may be amended to increase available acreage and/or change the crop for N utilization. This is the only exception to the 25% N criteria for plan revision. • Inclusions of emergency action plans, and insect, odor and mortality checklists are considered CAWMP amendments. • Including additional acreage for land application beyond what is required in the existing CAWMP is considered a plan amendment. Animal feeding operation means a lot or facility (other than an aquatic animal production facility) where the following conditions are met: (i) animals (other than aquatic animals) have been, are, or will be stabled or confined and fed or maintained for a total of forty five (45) days or more in any twelve (12) month period, and (ii) crops, vegetation, forage growth, or post -harvest residues are not sustained in the normal growing season over any portion of the lot or facility. Two or more animal feeding operations under common ownership are considered to be a single animal feeding operation if they adjoin each other, or if they use a common area or system for the disposal of wastes. Ditch means any man made channel for the purpose of moving water off a site to the surface waters. Excessive Ponding means any area of the application field where visible liquid waste is ponded on the surface of the land application site more than four (4) hours following the application of waste. Excessive ponding also means any areas where the Ponding of waste has resulted in crop failure. Groundwaters means any subsurface waters, as defined in 15A NCAC 2L .0102. Land application means the application of wastewater and/or waste solids onto or incorporation into the soil. Major changes to the CAWMP means changes in the number of animals, type of operation (feeder to finish to wean to feeder), retrofit of a storage pond, installation of a new irrigation system, and similar type changes. Recertification is only required for major changes to the CAWMP. Major changes to a facility must first be approved by DWQ. The new CAWMP and the certification shall be submitted with a request that the permit be amended to reflect the changes. The facility may not make the changes until a new or amended permit has been issued. 12 Revision to the CAWMP means a change to an entire CAWMP to meet current applicable standards. A CAWMP must be revised if the operation cannot utilize all N nitrogen generated by the animal production in accordance with the existing CAWMP, except for the specific conditions noted in the CAWMP amendment criteria as previously defined. For an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes more than 25% of the N generated by the operation is considered a plan revision. Any change to an existing CAWMP, whether an amendment or revision, must be signed and dated by both the producer and a technical specialist for the new CAWMP to be valid. A revision of the CAWMP does not require recertification. State Waters means all surface waters, wetlands, groundwaters and waters of the United States located in the State. Surface Waters means any stream, river, brook, swamp, lake, sound, tidal estuary, bay, creek, reservoir, waterway, or other surface body or surface accumulation of water, whether public or private, or natural or artificial, that is contained in, flows through, or borders upon any portion of the State of North Carolina, including any portion of the Atlantic Ocean over which the State has jurisdiction as well as any additional Waters of the United States which are located in the State. Waste means manure, other animal waste, any process water as a byproduct of milk production, bottling and ice cream making activity, and sludge generated at an animal feeding operation. Wetlands means areas that are inundated or saturated by an accumulation of surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances do support a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions, as defined in 15A NCAC 2B .0202.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

They are permitted, certified and licensed to distribute milk to local grocery stores as well as selling milk, butter and ice cream direct from their own storefront connected to the dairy operation. The milk bottling produces approximately 1500 gallons of wash and rinse water per day. This rinse water may contain soap and trace amounts of milk products. The ice cream wash and rinse water may produce up to 2.5 gallons per day and contain soap with trace amounts of ice cream, flavorings and sugar. The bottling and ice cream production operations take place only on weekdays, not on the weekends. Waste Application: The irrigation system will be used on fields of corn, small grains, hay and pasture. The holding pond receives all waste from the feed lot, milking parlor, and free -stall barn. It will receive the water used in_p1apo5e bottling operation. The operator is using a traveling gun to apply the waste"to 74.9 acres of effective coverage. The gun, a Nelson SR 200 w/ ring nozzle, will be applying .4 inch/hour at a pump pressure of 90 psi. At a travel speed of 4.3 ft/minute, the operator will be applying .5 inch and 13,577 gallons per acre. At the holding pond's 981,592 gallon maximum capacity there will be a maximum of 36 acre -inches to be applied every6 months. However, according to the amount of waste produced, the Irrigation System will be used to apply approximately only 75.1 ac.-incheslyear or 33.7 ac-in per 164-day cycle. See pages 2, 3 & 4.

Bowman Dairy 4/28/2005 s r 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 Carolinanin the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.] 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application. Bowman Dairy 4/28/2005 7 l l WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (Continued) 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, drainageways 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 washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc.; shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 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. Bowman Dairy 4/28/2005 8 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (Continued) 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 preplant 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 required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 23. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where animal waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when the metals approach excessive levels. Adjust pH for optimum crop production and maintenance. Soil and Waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five years. 24. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

A 3" - 4" diameter white PVC pipe with a cap shall be placed at the maximum liquid level at elevation 97.2 . At no time should the effluent level rise above the maximum liquid level, which is 1.77 feet below the settled top of the dam. 2. A visual inspection of the waste storage pond will be performed at least twice a year. The inspector should check the condition of the dam and the emergency .spillway if applicable. The inspector will need to look close for signs of slope failure . or seepage on the back slope and toe of the dam. Also, a very close look will need to be made to check for signs of animal damage, ground hogs, muskrats, etc. Any problems found should be brought to the attention of the technical specialist for repair recommendations. 3. The waste storage pond will need to be mowed twice a year. All eroded areas or areas that do not have complete vegetative cover will be reseeded. The dam and all constructed slopes will need to be fertilized annually with 500 lbs. Of 10-10-10 per acre or its equivalent. 4. Maintain all waste handling equipment used for pumping, loading, hauling, spreading, etc. in accordance with owner's manuals. 5. All waste application shall be completed in accordance with the waste utilization plan. The waste storage ponds will be emptied at the end of each design storage period. These structures are designed for 180 days. See attached NC Agriculture Extension Service Waste Management Publication by Dr. James C. Barker for information on sampling and testing of the effluent.

Cattle Waste Collection, Treatment, Storage and Application System Guilford County Dear Christopher & David R. Bowman: On April 28, 2003, .the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the Division of Water Quality (Division) to extend the expiration date of the Cattle Waste Operation General Permit AWG200000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the expiration date.to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit. In accordance with your application received on January 28, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Christopher & David R. Bowman, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWG200000. The issuance of this COC supersedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWC410018 which expired on April 30, 2003. _This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Bowman Dairy Inc., located in Guilford County, with an animal capacity of no greater than am atinuA average of 225 Dairy cattle and the application to land as specified in the .facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 1, 2004. Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required, to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as specified in the -General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this facility. 'Any increase In waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals. If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed. The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property. �r NGEHR Non -Discharge Permitting Unit Internet http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ndpu 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Telephone (919) 733-5083 Fax (919)715-6048 Customer Service Center Telephone 1-877-623-6748 An Equal Opportunity Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking of the facility.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than S tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions .may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

They are permitted, certified and licensed to distribute milk to local grocery stores as well as selling milk, butter and ice cream direct from their own storefront connected to the dairy operation. The milk bottling produces approximately 1500 gallons of wash and rinse water per day. This rinse water may contain soap and trace amounts of milk products. The ice cream wash and rinse water may produce up to 2.5 gallons per day and contain soap with trace amounts of ice cream, flavorings and sugar. The bottling and ice cream production operations take place only on weekdays, not on the weekends. Waste Application: The irrigation system will be used on fields of corn, small grains, hay and pasture. The holding pond receives all waste from the feed lot, milking parlor, and free -stall barn. It will receive the water used in� bottling operation. The operator is using a traveling gun to apply the waste to 74.9 acres of effective coverage. The gun, a Nelson SR 200 wl ring nozzle, will be applying .4 inch/hour at a pump pressure of 90 psi. At a travel speed of 4.3 ft/minute, the operator will be applying .5 inch and 13,577 gallons per acre. At the holding pond's 981,592 gallon maximum capacity there will be a maximum of 36 acre -inches to be applied every-6 months. However, according to the amount of waste produced, the Irrigation System will be used to apply approximately only 75.1 ac.-inches/year or 33.7 ac-in per 164-day cycle. See pages 2, 3 & 4. land is available to apply 75 ac-in per year. Total wetted acres = 74.9 acres. Orchardgrass for hay may be planteO in any of the above cropped fields. Apply at 225 lbs.

Bowman Dairy 4/28/2005 . 6 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.] 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. Bowman Dairy 4/28/2005 7 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (Continued) 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, drainageways 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. Lb. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc.; shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 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. Bowman Dairy 4/28/2005 8 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (Continued) 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 preplant 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 required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 23. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where animal waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when the metals approach excessive levels. Adjust pH for optimum crop production and maintenance. Soil and Waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five years. 24. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

A 3" - 4" diameter white PVC pipe with a cap shall be placed at the maximum liquid level at elevation 97.2 . At no time should the effluent level rise above the maximum liquid level, which is 1.77 feet below the settled top of the dam. 2. A visual inspection of the waste storage pond will be performed at least twice a year. The inspector should check the condition of the dam and the emergency .spillway if applicable. The inspector will need to look close for signs of slope failure or seepage on the back slope and toe of the dam. Also, a very close look will need to be made to check for signs of animal damage, ground hogs, muskrats, etc. Any problems found should be brought to the attention of the technical specialist for repair recommendations. 3. The waste storage pond will need to be mowed twice a year. All eroded areas or areas that do not have complete vegetative cover will be reseeded. The dam and all constructed slopes will need to be fertilized annually with 500 Ibs. Of 10-10-10 per acre or its equivalent. 4. Maintain all waste handling equipment used for pumping, loading, hauling, spreading, etc. in accordance with owner's manuals. 5. All waste application shall be completed in accordance with the waste utilization plan. The waste storage ponds will be emptied at the end of each design storage period. These structures are designed for 180 days. See attached NC Agriculture Extension Service Waste Management Publication by Dr, James C. Barker for information on sampling and testing of the effluent.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year: With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. Bowman Dairy 03/04/03 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN ALL WASTE - SCRAPED LOT, PARLOR WASH AND LOT RUNOFF Amount of Waste Produced Per Year (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.): 225 animals x 14.6 (gal/day/cow) x 365 days x 50% (confinement time) = 599,513 gallons of waste/year. Parlor Water: 225 animals x 5 gal/day/cow x 365 days = 410,625 gallons of water/year. Bottling operation Water: 1500 gals per day x 365 days = 547,500 gallons of water /year Runoff from feedlot: Average Annual Rainfall = 44 in. x 70% (60 - 75%) x 12,101 sq.ft. of area x 1ft./12in x 7.48 gals./cu.ft. = 232,323 gallons/year. Excess Rainfall on Structure: 22,000 sq.ft. x .05 in/day of excess rainfall x 365 days x 1 ft./12 in. x 7.48 gals/cu.ft. = 250,107 gallons of water.

Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. Orchardgrass for hay may be planted in any of the above cropped fields. Apply at 225 lbs. Of N per acre or 2.1 inches, irrigated. Bowman Dairy 03/04/03 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN NARRATIVE OF OPERATION. The irrigation system will be used on a field of striperopping. This consists of alternating strips of grass and corn double cropped with small grain, usually oats or barley. The irrigation system will also be used on several adjacent pastures and hayfields. The holding pond receives all waste from the feed lot, milking parlor, and free -stall barn. It will receive the water used in proposed bottling operation. The operator is using a traveling gun to apply the waste to 74.9 acres of effective coverage. The gun, a Nelson SR 200 w/ ring nozzle, will be applying .4 inchlhour at a pump pressure of 90 psi. At a travel speed of 4.3 ft/minute, the operator will be applying .5 inch and 13,577 gallons per acre. At the holding pond's 981,592 gallon maximum capacity there will be a maximum of 36 acre -inches to be applied every6 months. However, according to the amount ,of waste produced, the Irrigation System will be used to apply approximately only 75.1 ac.-inches/year or 33.7 ac-in per 164-day cycle. See pages 2, 3 & 4. Land is available to apply 75 ac-in per year. Total wetted acres = 74.9 acres. Bowman Dairy 03/04/03 6 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. 7. 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. fi. 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 Carolinanin the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.] 7. liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application. Bowman Dairy 03/04/03 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (Continued) 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 Ships] 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. 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 washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 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. Bowman Dairy 03/04/03 8 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (Continued) 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 preplant 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 required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 23. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where animal waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when the metals approach excessive levels. Adjust pH for optimum crop production and maintenance. Soil and Waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three years.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be -grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. 1 1/17/99 1 WASH UTILIZAT101PLAN ALL WASTE - SCRAPED LOT, PARLOR WASH AND LOT RUNOFF Amount of Waste Produced Per Year (gallons, ft', tons, etc.): 225 animals x 14.6 (gal/day/cow) x 365 days x 50% (confinement time) = 599,513 gallons of waste/year.

Your facility is designed for180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 97.2 , or 1.77' below the Top of the Dam. Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION: \ 5r1.l5 i� lb[;A The irrigation system will be used on afield of striperopping. This consists of alternating strips of grass and corn double cropped with small grain, usually oats or barley. The irrigation system will also be used on several adjacent pastures and hayfields. The holding pond receives all waste from the feed lot, milking parlor and freestall bam. The operator is using a traveling gun to apply the waste to 74.9 acres of effective coverage. The gun, a Nelson SR 200 w/ ring nozzle, will be applying .4 inch/hour at a pump pressure of 90 psi. At a travel speed of 4.3 ft/minute, the operator will be applying .5 inch and 13,577 gallons per acre. At the holding pond's 981,592 gallon maximum capacity there will be a maximum of 36 acre -inches to be applied eveM6 months. However, according to the amount of waste produced, the Irrigation System will be used to apply approximately only 49.4 ac.inches/year or 24.7 ac-in per 6 months. See pages 2, 3 & 4. Land is available to apply 58.6 ac-in per year. Total wetted acres = 74.9 acres. 1 I /17P9 5 WASTE UTILIZAT101 PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS l . 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.] 1 1/17/99 6 WAS UTILIZAT101 PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATION (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] 2. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. 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 washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 1 1 / 17/99 7 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 preplant 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 required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 23. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where animal waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when the metals approach excessive levels. Adjust pH for optimum crop production and maintenance. Soil and Waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five years. 24. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

A 3" - 4" diameter white PVC pipe with a cap shall be placed at the maximum liquid level at elevation 97.2 . At no time should the effluent level rise above the maximum liquid level, which is 1.77 feet below the settled top of the dam. 2. A visual inspection of the waste storage pond will be performed at least twice a year. `The inspector should check the condition of the dam and the emergency spillway if applicable. The inspector will need to look close for signs of slope failure or seepage on the back slope and toe of the dam. Also, a very close look will need to be made to check for signs of animal damage, ground hogs, muskrats, etc. Any problems found should be brought to the attention of the technical specialist for repair recommendations. 3. The waste storage pond will need to be mowed twice a year. All eroded areas or areas that do not have complete vegetative cover will be reseeded. The dam and all constructed slopes will need to be fertilized annually with 500 lbs. Of 10-10-10 per acre or its equivalent. 4. Maintain all waste handling equipment used for pumping, loading, hauling, spreading, etc. in accordance with owner's manuals. 5.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. 1 WAS*.

In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 97.2 , or 1.77' below the Top of the Dam. Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Sal and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION; The irrigation system will be used on a field of striperopping. This consists of alternating strips of grass and corn double cropped with small grain, usually oats or barley. The irrigation system will also be used on several adjacent pastures and hayfields. The holding pond receives all waste from the feed lot, milking parlor and freestall barn. The operator is using a traveling gun to apply the waste to 74.9 acres of effective coverage. The gun, a Nelson SR 200 wl ring nozzle, will be applying .4 inch/hour at a pump pressure of 90 psi. At a travel speed of 4.3 ftlminute, the operator will be applying .5 inch and 13,577 gallons per acre. At the holding pond's 981,592 gallon maximum capacity there will be a maximum of 36 acre -inches to be applied every 6 mont s. However, according to the amount of waste produced, the Irrigation System will be used to apply approximately only 49.4 ac.inches/year or 24.7 ac-in per 6 months. See pages 2, 3 & 4. Land is available to apply 58.6 ac-in per year. Total wetted acres = 74.9 acres. LJ • WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS I . 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 Feld 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 He 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 Steps 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.] n WASTE UTILIZATIOrl PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATION (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, drainageways 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 washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 7 WASTE UTILIZAT1011 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 preplant 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 required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 23. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where animal waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when the metals approach excessive levels. Adjust pH for optimum crop production and maintenance. Soil and Waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five years. 24. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. 0 WAS4 E UTILIZATION PLAN WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEMENT NAME OF FARM: BOWMAN DAIRY, INC OWNER/MANAGER AGREEMENT I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specification and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above.

A 3" - 4" diameter white PVC pipe with a cap shall be placed at the maximum liquid level at elevation 97.2 . At no time should the effluent level rise above the maximum liquid level, which is 1.77 feet below the settled top of the dam. 2. A visual inspection of the waste storage pond will be performed at least twice a year. The inspector should check the condition of the dam and the emergency spillway if applicable. The inspector will need to look close for signs of slope failure or seepage on the back slope and toe of the dam. Also, a very close look will need to be made to check for signs of animal damage, ground hogs, muskrats, etc. Any problems found should be brought to the attention of the technical specialist for repair recommendations. 3. The waste storage pond will need to be mowed twice a year. All eroded areas or areas that do not have complete vegetative cover will be reseeded. The dam and all constructed slopes will need to be fertilized annually with 500 lbs. Of 10-10-10 per acre or its equivalent. 4. Maintain all waste handling equipment used for pumping, loading, hauling, spreading, etc. in accordance with owners manuals. 5. All waste application shall be completed in accordance with the waste utilization plan. The waste storage ponds will be emptied at the end of each design storage period. These structures are designed for 180 days. See attached NC Agriculture Extension Service Waste Management Publication by Dr. James C. Barker for information on sampling and testing of the effluent.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is -applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

"Doublecropped. Your facility is designed for 164 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 5.4 MONTHS. In no instance should thevolume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 97.2 , or 1.77' below the Top of the Dam. Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION: The irrigation system will be used on a field of striperopping. This consists of alternating strips of grass and corn double cropped with small grain, usually oats or barley. The irrigation system will also be used on several adjacent pastures and hayfields. The holding pond receives all waste from the feed lot, milking parlor and freestall bam. It will receive the water used in proposed bottling operation. The operator is using a traveling gun to apply the waste to 74.9 acres of effective coverage. The gun, a Nelson SR 200 wl ring nozzle, will be applying .4 inchlhour at a pump pressure of 90 psi. At a travel speed of 4.3 ftlminute, the operator will be applying .5 inch and 13,577 gallons per acre. At the holding pond's 981,592 gallon maximum capacity there will be a maximum of 36 acre -inches to be applied every 6 months. However, according to the amount of waste produced, the Irrigation System will be used to apply approximately only 75.1 ac.incheslyear or 33.7 ac-in per 164 day cycle. See pages 2, 3 & 4. Land is available to apply 75 ac-in per year. Total wetted acres = 74.9 acres. Bowman Dairy 1 1R8= WASTE UTILIZATIOWLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS I . 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. b. 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.] Bowman Dairy 1 1R8/00 6 WASH UTILIZATIOMPLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATION (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, drainageways 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 washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. Sawman Dairy 1 1/2MG 7 WAS-* UTILIZATIOWLAN 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 4 should be applied preplant 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 required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 23. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where animal waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when the metals approach excessive levels. Adjust pH for optimum crop production and maintenance. Soil and Waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five years. 24. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. 8awman Dairy 1 1/28100 8 WASH UTILIZAT104PLAN REGl\' AGREEMENT NAME OF FARM: BOWMAN DAIRY, INC WA1�_n, _,_ku Y SECTION Non -Discharge Permittirg OWN ER/MANAGER AGREEMENT: (we) understand and will follow and implement the specification and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above.
