GENERAL INFORMATION This waste storage pond was constructed in the early 1980s without assistance from the Natural Resource Conservation Service or the Davidson Soil & Water Conservation District. The facility served as -a feeder to finish operation. This facility was closed in 1996 after.the farmer passed away. There are no plans to restock this operation. This farm is rated on DWQ's Inactive Lagoon Potential Risk Rating as a medium. The facility has not received any Notice of Violations from the Division of Water Quality. Ms. Snyder intends to manage the site as a fresh water pond after closure. No breaching of the dam is planned at this time. In the event that the dam is to be breached, all disturbed areas are to be seeded with the following materials and amounts. Tail fescue seed 60 lbs./acre 2 tons lime/acre 1,000 lbs. 10-10-10/acre 60 — 80 bales of straw/acre If the waste storage pond is breached, the breach with the specifications outlined in the Closure of Standard 709, of Section IV of the MRCS Technical will be completed in accordance Abandoned Waste Facility Guide. • Snyder Closure Plan cont. Volume to be removed The storage pond is 105 feet long and 95 feet wide measured at top of dam. The total depth is estimated to be 8 feet from top of dam. Sludge depth is estimated at 12 —18 inches. Current liquid depth is 6 feet. The total volume of liquids and sludge to be -removed.is 288,264 gallons (refer to NC-ENG-40). LAND APPLICATION OF WASTE The storage pond will be closed in the fall of 2000. The effluent will be land applied to nearby cropland that is to be planted to small grain after corn harvest. The soil type for the application site is GeorgeviIle (42B). The maximum application rate for this soil type is 0.40 in/hr. The maximum Nitrogen rate for wheat is 134 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) for a Georgeville soil type. The NCDA waste analysis report describes the waste as containing 0.12 lbs. of PAN. 11.9 acres are available for an application site, (see plan map). Applying waste to the entire 11.9 acres uniformly will result in applying a total of 24,223 gallons per acre or 0.89 inches/acre. This application rate will also supply 2.9 lbs. of the 134 lbs. of nitrogen that is needed to produce the wheat crop. SPECIFICATIONS The waste storage pond will be agitated with a PTO driven chopper pump for sufficient time to create a slurry from the sludge. At least two agitation locations will be required. Waste will be applied in a manner not to exceed the hydraulic loading capacity of the soil and not to exceed the crop nitrogen requirements as outlined above. Side slopes will be washed down during pumping. After the waste pond is completely pumped, fresh water will be added and reagitated and pumped again. All sludge will be removed that is reasonable and practical based on visual inspection by the certifying technician. The dam is not planned to be breached. Equipment such as a skid steer or track Ioader may be required to remove sludge that is not feasible to remove with pump. Closure of this operation must be done without any runoff of the effluent. Do not land apply while it is raining or when ground is saturated. Avoid applying prior to predicted rainfall. All disturbed areas will be vegetated according to NRCS standards and specifications.

In order to meet this directive, a representative of DENR has recently evaluated the inactive lagoon(s) and/or storage pond(s) on your property. inactive lagoons and storage ponds were defined by the Statute as structures which were previously used to store animal waste but have not received waste for at least one year. The information collected on your property is contained in the attached field data sheets. Using this field data, staff ranked your inactive waste structures as high, medium or low according to its potential risk for polluting surface and/or groundwater. Your waste structure(s) was ranked as follows: Structure Number Surface Area -(Acres) Rankin 1 0.14 Medium This ranking is based in part on the conditions existing on the day of the site visit. Changes in these conditions or the collection and evaluation of additional data may modify the ranking of your waste structure(s) in the future. Information on your facility along with over 1000 others contained in the inventory has been provided to the General Assembly. During this year's session, the General Assembly will consider additional requirements for future management of these structures which may include requiring proper closure of inactive lagoons and storage ponds according to current or alternative standards. 585 Waughtown Street, Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27107 Telephone (336) 77IA600 Fax (336) 771A631 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Rating of Potential Risk • 0 Inactive Waste Lagoons and Storage Ponds Animal Waste Management System Page 2 Regardless of their ranking, owners of all waste lagoons and storage ponds have certain management responsibilities. These include taking appropriate actions to eliminate current discharges, prevent future discharges and to insure the stability of their structures. Staff of the Division of Water Quality will be in contact with owners of all inactive structures that have been determined to pose a serious environmental risk, based on its ranking and/or additional field data collected by the Department. All liquids and waste removed from these structures must be land applied at a rate not to exceed the agronomic needs of the receiving crops. Any major modifications made to the dike walls or structure must be done in accordance with current standards and under the direction of a technical specialist designated for structural design. Your local Soil and Water Conservation District is an excellent source for information and guidance related to proper waste application practices, structure operation and maintenance, and other related animal waste management standards and/or requirements. Nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility and liability for any past or future discharges from your lagoon(s) and/or storage pond(s) or for any violations of surface water or groundwater quality standards. Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in this process. If you have questions concerting your inactive structures, please contact the staff, of either in the Division of Water Quality or the Division of Soil and Water Conservation in the Winston-Salem Regional Office at (336) 7714600.

Lloyd Phillips, with the Davidson Soil and Water Conservation District, and myself were present for the field visit. It was noted that the liquid level in the lagoon had begun to be pumped down and land applied. This office truly appreciates the efforts that have been made thus far. However, the lagoon still has inadequate freeboard. Available freeboard was only 12" on the date of our visit. This continues to pose an immediate threat to the environment due to the potential for overflow to waters of the State. Please note that, in this region of the state, you are to have a minimum of 18 inches of extra storage in your lagoon at all times. Most importantly, however, we also noted that the seepage from the east comer of the lagoon appears to have gotten worse. The area of standing water has increased and the drainage of this lagoon effluent towards the wet weather creek is quite noticeable. A line around the comer of the lagoon of wet/dry soil approximately 2 foot up from the toe is also apparent now. We suspect that the liner/seal is leaking in that area of the lagoon. Please be advised that the non -permitted discharge of any type of wastewater to the waters of the State is illegal as per North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and could subject you to civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day per violation. This means that you would be subject to this penalty even if you were inactive or under certifiable threshold numbers. It is imperative that this lagoon be closed out immediately. Please contact Lloyd Phillips in the Lexington Field Office at (336) 242-2075 for assistance in properly closing out your waste storage structure according to NRCS (Natural Resources Conservation Service) standards. Closeout procedures must be initiated within 30 days of receipt of this letter. 5US WAUGHTOWN STREET, WINSTON-SALEM, NORTH CAROLINA 27107 PHONE 336-771-4600 FAX 336.771.4630 AN EQUAL OPPORTVNrTY f ACCrRMATIYE ACTION EMPLOYER - 50% RECYCLED/10% POST -CONSUMER PAPER 0 Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated. if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me at the Winston-Salem Regional Office at 336.771.4608 ext. 265.

Cu Dht% Copper Percent dry matter (1) Predictions of nutrients available for the first crop are based on estimates of mineralization rate and nutrient loss, depending on application method. _ I;e Iron Estimates are reported in lbs/lon for solid wastes and lbs/1000 gallons for liquid wastes. "T" indicates that an element is present in a "Trace" K Potassium quantity (< U05 lb per measured unit). K,0 Potash Within the first month after waste application, 50-75% of the nutrient quantities listed will become available for the crop. Therefore, plan to apply Li Lithium wastes near the time that plants will require nutrients. The remaining nutrients gradually become available over the next three months. dig Magnesium Nutrients not available for the first crop are mineralized to available forms over time, usually years. Significant quantities of nutrients can accumulate Mn Flo Manganese ;Molybdenum in soils that do not leach readily wilh heavy rainfall. if waste is routinely applied, take soil samples at least once every two years to monitor nutrient N Nitrogen accumulation. Some cropping systems and metal levels may necessitate annual sampling. _Na Sodium ALE and CCE% are reported for wastes that may have neutralizing value. ALE indicates the amount of the waste product required to equal 1 ton of NH4 Ammonium nitrogen gaud quality agricultural lime (CCE%=90). if waste materials have significant neutralizing value, apply them only at rates necessary to optimize pH. Ni Nickel For flexibility, the information sheet provides two choices for application method. Predictions of available nutrients are based on the type of waste NOj Nitrate nitrogen and the method of application. If you decide to change the application method after the analysis is complete, contact your local regional agronomist P Phosphorus or the Agronomic Division at (919) 733-2655 for a revised recommendation. PZO; Pb Phosphate Lead (2) Quantities of other elements that are potentially harmful—Na, Ni, Cd, Pb, Al, Se, and Li —indicate the likelihood of toxic buildup in the soil. Like pH Measure of acidity or alkalinity nutrients, they are reported in lbs/ton for solid wastes and Ibs/1000 gallons for liquid wastes. S Sulfur (3) Sometimes the recommendations section includes agronomic comments. These provide general information on the waste product and alert the user Se Selenium when heavy metals or other elements are high enough to warrant special precautions when applying the waste.

Subject: Removal of RegistratReigivnai Qifica Facility Number 29-8 Davidson County This is to acknowledge receipt of your request that your facility no longer be registered as an animal waste management system per the terms of 15A NCAC 2H .0217. The information you provided us indicated that your operation's animal population does not exceed the number set forth by 15A NCAC 214.0217, and therefore does not require registration for a certified animal waste management plan. Under 15A NCAC 2H .0217, your facility is deemed permitted if waste is properly managed and does not reach the surface waters of the state. Any system determined to have an adverse impact on water quality may be required to obtain a waste management plan or an individual permit. You are reminded that a discharge of wastes to the surface waters of the state will subject you to a civil penalty up to $10,000 per day. Should you decide to increase the number of animals housed at your facility beyond the threshold limits listed below, you will be required to obtain a certified animal waste management plan prior to stocking animals to that level. Threshold numbers of animals which require certified animal waste management plans are as follows: Swine 250 'Confined Cattle 100 Horses 75 Sheep 1,000 Poultry 30,000 If you have questions regarding this letter or the status of your operation please call Sue Homewood of our staff at (919) 733-5083 ext 502.

Secretary Leesha Fuller, Regional Manager MANAGEMENT August 9, 1995 Mr. Graham Snyder 1459 Bringle Ferry Road Denton, N.C. 27239 SUBJ ACT: Animal Waste Operation Inspection Graham Snyder Farm Facility No. 29-8 Davidson County Dear Mr. Snyder: As you are aware, an inspection of the animal waste handling facilities at your swine operation was conducted by Abner Braddy of this Office on July 31, 1995. Specifically, the inspection was conducted to determine the status of your compliance with Title 15 A, North Carolina Administrative Code 2H .0200 regulations, which govern wastewater disposal systems which do not discharge to surface waters of the State. Animal waste management systems which comply with the .0200 regulations are "deemed permitted" by this Division, and thus, are not required to apply for individual permits for operation. The primary factor in assessing compliance with the regulations is whether or not a discharge of pollutants occurs from the facilities (in your case a lagoon) during any rain event less severe than a 25 year storm. A 25 year storm is a storm of such severity, that it can statistically be expected to recur but once every 25 years. A 25 year storm in Davidson County would amount to any rainfall of 6 inches or greater within a 24 hour period. You should be aware, however, that because the weather data used to compile what is a 25 year storm covers many years, it is possible to experience 25 year storms on two consecutive days. Likewise, you could receive 5 inches of rain one day, and 5 inches the next, and neither would constitute a 25 year storm, though you would need at least 10 inches of freeboard to prevent a discharge. The general recommendation for lagoon operators is to maintain 1 foot of emergency freeboard plus the 25 year storm volume, (6 inches). Thus, you should attempt to pump your lagoon at the first available opportunity once the liquid level is within 18 inches of the 14H 2gla gf ft stiaicture You should also note that the construction of manmade pipes, ditches, or other conveyances for the purpose of willfully discharging pollutants to the waters of the State may result in the immediate imposition of civil penalties of up to $5,000.00 for the first offense. 585 Wauahtown Street, Winston-Salem.

It was evident that waste had escaped the lagoon in the recent past via the emergency spillway. You should continue to pump down the lagoon at every available opportunity. It will also benefit you to eliminate any extraneous stormwater from entering the lagoon. It is imperative that you take all precautionary measures to prevent any discharge from your lagoon. Should a discharge occur you could lose your "deemed permitted" status. Should you have questions or comments regarding this matter, contact Abner Braddy or me at (910) 771-4600. Sincerely, M.
