GibsonviIle NC 27249 Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. AWC410005 Holly Grove Farm Cattle Waste Collection, Treatment, Storage and Application System Guilford County Dear Richard & Kenneth OBryant: 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 March 26, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Richard & Kenneth OBryant, 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 AWC410005 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 Holly Grove Farm, located in Guilford County, with an animal capacity of no greater,than an annual average of 800 Non -Dairy cattle and the application to land as specified in the facility's Certified _A­n'im`a­l Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). The COC-shall be effedtive 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 requited 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 Pernvttee 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. 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 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 are 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. 3/18/03 6 ' 0 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN ALL WASTE - SCRAPED LOT AND LOT RUNOFF - OLD DAIRY LOT Amount of Waste Produced Per Year: STOCKER CATTLE @ 550 lbs. avg, weight) 500 animals x 4 (gal/day/cow) x 365 (number of days) x 100 (% confinement time) = 730,000_ Gallons of waste/year.

Waste from the Holding Pond will be spread using a tank style spreader or honey wagon o r on occasion, irrigated. Waste will be spread according to RYE and recommended agronomic rates. It will be spread on cropland, hayland or pasture according to crop needs, season and weather conditions. The holding pond is designed for 500 stockers. The second site has no holding pond, and a maximum of 300 cows are on Pasture with a feeding station that is scraped, hauled and spread on cropland as indicated on page 4. The two sites have a total capacity for 800 stocker cattle. When irrigated, the effluent will be applied at .3 in./hr. Fields 2 & 3(t6146) are in strips of corn or small grain alternating with strips of grass (hay). "*IMPORTANT NOTE: When irrigated on small grain, the grass will receive only the amount of PAN for the small grain. The system should produce 12,500 lbs. Of PAN and 1,573,883 gals of liquid. Every 1000 gals will contain 7.9 lbs. of PAN. Every AcAn. will contain 214 lbs. PAN. 3/18/03 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. 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 DWQ. [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.

One of the tracts of land (FSA Tract # 9164) has been sold and currently belongs to Chris Bryant of Bryant Properties. The lagoon was closed and the Closure Form was sent to your office on May 30, 2001. This should reduce his numbers to 800 beef cattle, from 1100, since the closed farm originally had 300 cattle. This should also eliminate them from the NPDES permit requirements as well. The O'Bryants no longer farm or have any interest on this tract. They will have no animals on this tract. However, the rest of his farm and the other holding pond, located on Facility No. 41-05 (FSA tract # 9163) will remain in operation, with a total of 800 beef cattle.

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 p6orto 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. 9/19ro 1 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN ALL WASTE - SCRAPED LOT AND LOT RUNOFF - OLD DAIRY LOT Amount of Waste Produced Per Year: STOCKER CATTLE @ 550 Ibs avg. welght) 500 animals x 4 (gal/day/cow) x3_61(number of days) x 100 (% confinement time) = 730,000 Gallons of waste/year.

This storage must be removed on the average of once every11 MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation.97.1 or,2 below too of 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 OPERA TION.- Waste from the two Holding Ponds will be spread using a tank style spreader, honey wagon and on occasion, irrigated. Waste will be spread according to RYE and recommended agronomic rates. It will be spread on cropland, hayland or pasture according to crop needs, season and weather conditions. The holding pond is designed for 500 stockers. The other site has no holding pond, but has a maximum4f 3OD cows on lure with a feeding station that is scraped, hauled and spread on cropland as indicated on page 5. The two sites have a total capacity for 800 stocker cattle. When irrigated the effluent will be applied at .3 in./hr. Fields 2 & 3 are in strips of com or small grain alternating with strips of grass,for hay. When the effluent is irrigated on the small grain, the maximum amount of PAN on the grass will be the allowable amount for the small grain as it is the most limiting. The system should produce 12,500 lbs. of PAN and 1,573,883 gals of liquid. Every 1000 gals, will contain 7.9 lbs. PAN. Every Ac.-In. Will contain 214 lbs, of PAN. Irrigation will only be used occasionally and is not the typical manner of land application. 9/19/01 - 6 WAE 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 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.] 9119,01 7 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (Continued) 7, Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such'that runoff does not occur offske or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application.

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. Ached 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 0 0 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Site #1 ALL WASTE - SCRAPED LOT AND LOT RUNOFF - OLD DAIRY LOT Amount of Waste Produced Per Year: STOCKER CATTLE @ 550 lbs avg. weight) 500 animals x 4 (gal/day/cow) x 365 (number of days) x 100 (% confinement time) = 730,00Gallons of waste/year.

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 N RCS 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). Kan 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 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (Continued) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall not be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil. 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. [See Standard 393 - F17ter5trips] 12.

The plant n trients in the animal waste should be used to reduce t e amount of commercial fertili r required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to applied. This wast/uti tion plan usesnitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should analyzed beforepplication cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so t t all plant nutriebe balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important i Nimp/ eating your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Alw pply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of a was . Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important s they hav different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, a available wa holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land ero ing at greater tha tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be pplied to land eroding up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on satur ed soils, when it is raining, o when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may esult in runoff to surface water hich is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind con itions should also be considered to void drift and downwind odor problems. To m ' ize the value of nutrients for crop p oduction and to reduce the potential for pollu on, the waste should be applied to a gro . g crop or applied to bare ground not mo an 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the was or disking will conserve nutrients an educe odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typ I 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 V WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN ALL WASTE - SCRAPED LOT AND LOT RUNOFF - OLD DAIRY LOT Amount of Waste Produced Per Year: STOCKER CATTLE @ 550 Ibs avg. weight) 500 animals x - (gal/day/cow) x 365 (number of days) x--1 00 (% confinement time) = 730.000 Gallons of waste/year.

If nutrients from other sources such as commercial fertilizer are applied, they must be accounted for. N must be based on realistic yield expectation— NOTE: The applicator Is cautioned that P and K maybe over applied while meeting the N requirements. Beginning in 1996 the Coastal Zone Management Act will require farmers in some eastern counties of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses Nitrogen. The Nitrogen per acre shown in this plan is the maximum to be applied. This includes the nitrogen from the Animal Waste as well as from commercial fertilizer. —Double cropped .l �JOLLNi Gawc P Rm • Solid and Semi -Solid Spreader Capacity 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.] 5 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (Continued) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall not be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil. 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. [See Standard 393 - Filter Strips] 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of- ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, 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 utechnical 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. C • L_J 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 stone 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 snail 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. 7 0 WASTE'UTILIZATION PLAN WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEMENT Name of Farm: HOLLY GROVE FARM Owner/Manager Agreement: Richard and Kenneth O'Bryant 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.
