Thanks for keeping me posted. Use today's date as the "official" date that you notified me. There is a place to record the date on the closure report. I don't need anything as long as you have: A closure plan Notify Soil and water and someone is on site during the closure Record the applications and do the paperwork (including waste analysis) as you would normally do when applying animal waste Take some photos of the bottom when it is all cleaned out, for your protection. Also, let me do a "final" inspection so you have that documentation for your records. Hope the weather holds out for you! Let me know if you need anything.

DWR is assisting Mr. Ridge with determining how best to exclude fresh water from the waste structure while awaiting closure AND still meet the permit requirements for waste management. The permittee wishes to re-route liquid/fresh water from the concrete lot catch basin (on south side of lot) to empty into well vegetated pasture below south side of dam. No animals are in the pasture at this time. No waste was observed on the lot today. Based on proposal, an underground pipe is to come from the east side of the catch basin, then turn 90 degrees south, then 90 degrees west (where some water may make an outlet), then ultimately south into the pasture where the rest of the fresh water will dischage.

The pond is located at coordinates N35046' 59" 1 W79°51' 25" or 630 feet east of Plainfield Road (SR-1518) in Randolph County. The waste storage pond at Ridge Farms dimensions are approximately 155 feet by 124 feet with an average depth of 10 feet. The pond has a storage capacity of 114,140 ft3 (853,773 gallons). Inside slopes of the pond vary. Samples of waste contained in the pond were analyzed by NCDA&CS in July of 2016. The concentration of nitrogen ranges from 0.52 pounds to 1.68 pounds per 1000 gallons for the liquid and sludge, respectively, when broadcasted on the land. The planed receiving crop will be corn silage. Based on soil types and realistic yields, 188 to 224 pounds of nitrogen may be applied per acre of cropland. Approximately 1.13 acres of cropland are required to utilize all nitrogen contained in the waste ponds, however applying at this rate would exceed the soil's hydraulic limits. It is recommended that the application be based off a rate o 0.5 inch per acre At the current waste level in the pond of 560,596 gallons, this application rate wou require 41.29 acres. Ridge Farms has ample amount of land to handle the cleanout of the waste pond as currently there is 229.7 acres of land available for waste application in their current waste management plan. WASTE APPLICATION 1. Animal waste shall not be applied to wetlands or surface water or shall not reach wetlands or surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. 2. Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filters are installed where runoff leaves the field. 3. Animal waste shall not be applied on saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. When animal waste is to be applied on areas 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. 4. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. A suitable cover crop should be planted to scavenge nutrients especially on leachable soils. Also on soils with a high potential for leaching, multiple applications at lower rates should be used. 5. Animal waste should be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to depth that would inhibit growth. 6. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. 7. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied within 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 9. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 10. Animal waste applied on grassed waterways shall be at agronomic rates and in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 11. Apply animal waste at rates that do not exceed the nitrogen needs for Realistic Yield Expectation (RYE) for the crop being grown. 12. 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 element. 13. Records of waste application shall be maintained to establish actual application rates. The records will include date of application, amount of waste applied per acre by tract number and field number, most recent waste analysis and soil test report, and the RYE nitrogen rate. 14. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate. No ponding shall occur. 15.Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste into the soil or disking after waste application. WASTE STORAGE POND CLOSURE All devices used to convey animal waste into the storage ponds shall be permanently plugged or removed. Liquid and slurry wastes shall be agitated and pumped to the maximum extent practicable. Water shall be added as necessary to facilitate the agitation and pumping. The wastewater shall be utilized in accordance with NRCS Conservation Practice Standard, Nutrient Management, Code 590 and/or Waste Utilization, Code 633. If the bottom of the lagoon or structure is above the water table at the time of closure and will support earth -moving equipment, it must be scrapped. A qualified technical specialist must determine the soil stability for earth moving equipment. For lagoons or structures that are not to be scraped and those with bottoms documented to be below the water table at the time of closure, the depth of "agitated" waste material remaining in the lagoon or structure at the time of closure may not exceed a maximum depth of one (1) foot. Upon the completion of waste removal from the ponds, the embankments will be breached so they will no longer impound liquid if closure is desired. The slopes and bottom of the breach shall be no steeper than 3:1. All disturbed areas shall be vegetated in accordance with USDA- NRCS Conservation Practice Standard 342 (Critical Area Treatment). If the waste storage pond will be converted to a fresh water pond, it is required to meet USDA- NRCS Conservation Practice Standard 378 (Ponds). All plan and specifications for the fresh water pond will conform to the requirements of that standard, as well as any operation and" maintenance. The concrete feedlot may no longer be used to confine livestock. All waste shall be removed from the lot and runoff directed to a stable outlet which will not result in erosion or discharge of animal waste. A Certified Technical Specialist or Professional Engineer licensed in North Carolina must supervise and certify any lagoon or waste pond closure. Two business days prior to any waste removal, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) must be notified. A copy of the closure plan must also be submitted to DWQ prior to notification.

I am sure they are keeping you hoping! Chris Redding stopped by and I helped him with some of the calculations on this form, he asked me to forward it to you since they are in the middle of a move with no internet! He also was wandering about what he needed to do to get the extension on filling out the sludge survey form in 3 years instead of a year? ( I also would like to know just as FYI for me! Oj Also, we are in a holding pattern to get his maker pole back up as soon as it gets low enough. Thanks for bearing with me on Jester Ridge and Ken Cox's updates, Larry Graham is no longer with us so I have been putting out lots of fires!!

Lagoon Surface Area (using dimensions at inside top of bank): , Q; (acres) (Draw a sketch of the lagoon on a separate sheet, list dimensions, and calculate surface area. The lagoon may have been built different than designed, so measurements should be made.) G. Estimate number of sampling points: a Less than 1.33 acres: Use 8 points If more than I.33 acres, acres x 6 = , with maximum of 24. (Using sketch and dimensions, develop a uniform grid that has the same number of intersections as the estimated number of sampling points needed. Number the intersection points on the lagoon grid so that data recorded at each can be easily matched.) H. Conduct sludge survey and record data on "Sludge Survey Data Sheet" (Appendix 2). Also, at the location of the pump intake, take measurement of distance from liquid surface to top of sludge layer and record it on the Data Sheet (last row); this must be at least 2.5 ft. when irrigating.

Backwater's questions.txt From: Wes Newell [newellC�backwater.biz] Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2012 7:01 AWN To: Tucker, Tammie cc: 'Steve Needham' subject: FW: Requests for Approvals / Notifications for Heath Dairy pre -con meeting Attachments: slate Riffle Bed Material.jpg categories: Red Category The following represents a list of several items that we plan to discuss at the pre -con meeting. We wanted to send these in advance for review prior to the meeting. 1) Backwater requests approval of a non -granite stone source for the riffle bed material. The material represents Triassic basin (slate -like) shot rock that, unlike quarried granite, is native to the Heath Dairy watershed (located about 3 miles away). We have used this stone as riffle bed material in the past with excellent results, including superior imbrication, improved.aqquatic species habitat, and better "natural appearance" relative to quarried white granite in the stream bed. A photo of the proposed riffle bed material is attached. we can visit a previous project (near Liberty N.C.) where this material was used to evaluate entrainment capacity / appearance and also visit the source location to evaluate appropriate size distributions. 2) Backwater proposes to utilize cut boulders on this project. We have a previous project in Randleman that utilized cut boulders if a site visit is needed to evaluate appearance. we need to discuss this issue relative to both the footer and header rocks. 3) Several designs in the last 5-10 years have included root wads at the end of / log vanes. �� on the more recent projects that we have been involved, the root wad has been �\15 deleted from the log vane assembly due to increased bank disturbance and lack of soil compaction in the near bank region, we request that the root wad be deleted from �5 the end of the log vanes to minimize bank over -excavation, disturbance, and erosion. we can install transplants or other vegetation features at this location instead. 4) The aggregate for the construction access road is designated as class A stone. This is 6" rip rap which is normally used at construction entrances but not for the road. Regular vehicles have a difficult time traversing Class A rip -rap. Can ABC be used on the construction access road instead of Class A stone? class A stone will still be used 5 on the elongated construction entrance. 5) Backwater will be carrying and recording ground elevations on all stream survey stakes to calculate an average floodplain elevation. This actual elevation profile will be compared to the design profile as we proceed through the project. If there are major variations between the design floodplain and actual ground elevation, we may request that the designer consider modifying the riffle grades, if feasible.

You're a good sport! I also spoke with Melonie Allen w/ DWQ in Raleigh today who is managing the stream project. She said that she is just waiting on the budget/fiscal folks to ok the payment. The paperwork has been in their office a month so they should be breaking ground within the next 1-2 months. The project is estimated to take about 9 months to complete. Melonie is your "contact" person w/ DWQ for this project. Her number is 919.368.9352. They will have a "pre -construction" meeting prior to installation and she will be there. I gave her your number in case she needs to contact you. That said, I still need to see at least a single strand of hot wire in the heifer pasture (around the low area ---up to the culvert). There's no sense in doing more since EEP will be installing fencing in the next few months (hopefully).

From: Allen, Melonie Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2011 1:50 PM To: Rosebrock, Melissa Subject: EEP Stream Restoration Site: Heath Dairy (Randolph County) Follow up Melissa, I wanted to follow up with you on a request I received on Friday (4/07) from the Kingsmill manager at Heath Dairy, Henry Fuller. Mr. Fuller asked that we not make any changes to the original fence design. EEP is going to honor this request but I wanted to make sure you were aware of this change in plans because you had contacted me back in the end of December about a site inspection that had occurred that I believe had prompted the landowners to request that we expand a section of fencing below a high nutrient loading feedlot/barn area. I let you know at that time that I would follow up with the landowner's rep. about this and once we agreed upon the expansion area would let you know. I'm not sure what prompted the change in plans, it may be that they intend on meeting compliance through another BMP? Just FYI, we are ready to bid the project out and fencing is one of the first items under the construction sequence so we hope to begin fencing in August. Let me know if you have any questions.

Patrick, Melonie would be a good person to make contact with to inquire about sampling their monitoring wells. I believe it is NCSU folks conducting the monitoring for EEP and she could let you know who to contact. It will probably be Greg Jennings or Dan Line but am not sure.

Yes X No The NC Ecosystem Enhancement Program (NC EEP) has developed a plan for the restoration of Back Creek (main tributary to Back Creek/Lucas Lake northwest of Asheboro), which it plans to implement beginning in November, 2010. The plan includes livestock exclusion and stream restoration/enhancement of a >1,000ft section of Back Creek that flows through a dairy cow pasture of Heath Dairy. The stream restoration includes priority I and 11 activities including construction of a new patte�'rn d�profile for the stream channel. Pre- exclusion and stream restoration monitoring including both stormwater and baseflow sampling was conducted by NCSU and DWQ personnel from June 2007 to March 2009 with direction and funding from the NC EEP; however, due to changes in the program and budget restrictions, funding similar monitoring during the post -restoration period is unlikely. Thus, the purpose of this project is to reinstall the monitoring stations and conduct water quality monitoring upstream and downstream of the same stream reaches for 2 years (March, 2011 to March 2013) following the restoration effort. These data will then be statistically compared to the pre -exclusion and restoration monitoring data that was previously collected to assess the effectiveness of the restoration effort. In addition, these data will be compared to monitoring data for a pasture where only livestock exclusion fencing (no stream restoration) was installed in an attempt to assess the additional benefits of stream channel restoration in combination with livestock exclusion.. -4- NC Application for Section 319 NPS Pollution Control Grant. f B:, Fundrng Requesr!d s �� 12. �` Budget Categories Section Non -Federal Total Justification (itemize all 319 Match * (Include detailed explanation cats ories for each budget line item Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Personnel/Salary 6000 10060 10000 3100 5100 5100 39,300 Request: For Extension Associate $12,500, & $12,276 for PI, D.

These sections of Back Creek, considered perennial, ultimately discharge into Back Creek Lake (also called Lucas Lake), the primary water supply for the City of Asheboro, approximately 3 miles downstream of the site. Back Creek Lake has been designated as eutrophic since first monitored in 1989 (DWQ, 2002). Additionally, two algal blooms were documented in Back Creek Lake in 1999, and public complaints regarding bad taste of drinking water were reported by the Director of Water Resources for the City of Asheboro in 1999. The Ecosystem Enhancement Program (EEP) has developed a restoration plan for the sections of Back Creek and its tributaries that flow through the Heath Dairy's pasture. The plan includes the purchase of an NC DOT easement, fencing to exclude cattle from the stream, and stream restoration, which includes changing the pattern and profile of the stream channel along with installation of log vanes, rock cross vanes, and vernal pools. The goal of this project is to conduct post -restoration monitoring for 2 years on a (-700ft reach) section of Back Creek. Pre - restoration monitoring was conducted previously by NCSU under the direction of EEP. 22 A detalled.-des'crfpt ori'of the project.wote"'. -f project enf lls�devaloping, ar rmpleit�enting a Watershed Restoration Plan seeaectlon 27.Ex and. s ace „lf necessar „�.. The project will involve upstream/downstrearn water quality monitoring of 2 streams that flow through pastures on the Heath Dairy. For the one stream, Back Creek (shown in figure 1), cows will be fenced out and stream restoration will be performed on the old stream channel to form a type B4c stream. The upper portion of Back Creek, which is one of the stream reaches to be monitored for this project, was designed as an enhancement reach. Fence, to the maximum extent possible, full reconstruction and restoration efforts were reduced to in -channel work and augmentation of the existing stream. Enhancement efforts will focus on raising the profile in place to reconnect the stream to the relic floodplain, construction of in -stream structures, and stabilization of the banks. The other stream, referred to as North Branch, is much more degraded and unstable than the Back Creek reach and thus will undergo a full priority I stream restoration. Monitoring of both reaches simultaneously will provide data for comparisons between degrees of stream restoration in combination with livestock exclusion. In addition, these data will be compared to monitoring data collected from livestock exclusion on a stream of similar size and degradation, but with no stream restoration (Jordan Lake Paired Watershed Study 319 project). The two projects will be monitored simultaneously (Jordan Lake project is scheduled for BMP implementation fall 2010), which will help reduce the effects of climate variability. Pre -restoration storm event monitoring began in July, 2007 and continued through March, 2009. During this period flow -proportional storm samples were collected on the Back Creek and North Branch stream reaches (summaries of data shown in Table 1 and 2 below). In addition, rainfall and discharge were measured for 39 storm events (some samples encompassed more than one storm event; however, sampling of some storms were also missed due to equipment malfunction and otherproblems). Baseflow grab samples were also collected at various times to -10- NC Application #Section 319 NPS Pollutiokontrol Grant characterize nonstorm discharge (Table 3). Baseflow samples were often somewhat difficult to obtain given that baseflow levels were mostly very low. In addition, the need for Baseflow samples is somewhat questionable given that the vast majority of flow occurred during storm events. Pollutant load data was computed from discharge and concentration data for each storm event. For the Back Creek reach, mean storm event loads for the downstream site were much greater than the upstream site indicating that there are significant sources of pollutants between the two sites (Table 2). Hence, these data indicate there is a good chance of showing an improvement from restoration/management measures implemented between the sites. Table 1.

Rra ram.htm:. -12- NC Application #Section 319 NPS Pollutioq6ontrol Grant Upstream and downstream monitoring station will be installed on 2 stream reaches (referred to as Back Creek and North Branch of the Heath Dairy). The 4 monitoring stations will be installed as close as possible to where they were installed during the pre -restoration monitoring (Figure 1) and will consist of an automated sampler with an integrated flowmeter that measures stage continuously. A staff gage will be installed at each site to provide a permanent reference for stage measurements. The samplers flowmeter readings of stage will be compared to the staff gage during each visit to correct the flowmeter for drift and assess the accuracy of the readings. A tipping bucket raingage will be installed at one of the 4 monitoring sites to record'rainfall. The gage records rainfall amounts of 0.01 in. continuously during the monitoring to provide a record of rainfall accumulation, duration, and intensity. To facilitate continuous discharge measurements by the flowmeter, stage -discharge rating tables will be developed for each site and entered into the samplers. The rating tables will be developed from a combination of depth and velocity measured by the flowmeter and manually measured discharge using standard stream gaging techniques with a pygmy -type stream current meter. The stream cross section at each monitoring site will be surveyed to provide background data to aid in the development of the stage -discharge rating table. Previously developed stage - discharge rating tables cannot be used as the stream channel will be moved and a new cross section established during restoration efforts. Periodic discharge measurements at all 4 sites will be made throughout the period of monitoring to update and more accurately establish the rating tables. The 2 streams were sometimes dry, especially during 2007 (around the start of the pre - restoration monitoring project), during nonstorm periods; thus, storm event samples were all that could be collected during much of the pre -restoration monitoring and thus will be the focus of the post -restoration monitoring. In addition, numerous studies have shown that the vast majority of discharge and pollutant movement from pasture areas occurs during storm events. Automated samplers will be set up and programmed to collect flow -proportional samples during storm events only, but discharge will be measured continuously. Samples will be drawn from the stream via a sampler intake. Placement on the intake will be in a well -mixed section of the stream channel and likely near, but not on, the bottom or bed of the channel, which is not optimal, but necessary due to the shallow flow. At each visit by NCSU personnel the position of the intake will be reassessed and altered if sediment deposition or channel realignment changes the flow conditions. Nonstorm or baseflow samples will be collected approximately monthly and analyzed for fecal coliform bacteria. Baseflow samples will be collected and analyzed for TKN, NH4-N, NO2+3-N, and TP quarterly to characterize nonstorm discharge in the streams. Past monitoring has shown that nonstorm discharge is a relatively small percentage of total discharge. To facilitate preservation of storm samples, odd -numbered bottles in the sampler will be pre - acidified (with H2SO4 to pH<2) to preserve the sample until recovery. Even -numbered bottles will receive no acid. Samples from odd -numbered bottles will be recovered, composited, and analyzed for TKN, NH4-N, NO2+3-N, and TP, while even -numbered bottles will be composited and analyzed for TSS. Sample analysis will be conducted by a state certified lab and a QAPP will be written and followed. Sample analysis and discharge data will be used to compute pollutant loads for each site. These loads will provide statistically compare to pre -restoration loads to provide the basis for 13 NC Application *Section 319 NPS Pollutiowontrol Grant evaluating the effectiveness of the restoration efforts. Changes in pollutant loads are generally accepted as the best measure of nonpoint source control effectiveness. Analysis of rainfall versus storm and nonstorm discharge will also be conducted to assess possible changes in storm or baseflow conditions. Statistical analysis methods such analysis of covariance and nonparametric tests such as the Wilcoxin rank sum test may be used to compare data from the two stream reaches. In addition to water monitoring data, numbers of cattle along each reach will be counted during visits to the sites. Descriptions of vegetation and photodocumentation of vegetation on the pasture and in the exclusion area will be conducted along with a visual assessment of the stability of the restored stream channels.

Utilizing the "book values" for the steady state live weight (SSLW) of each type of animal and the manure volume expected for % confinement, I would need to see the total calculated SSLW and manure volume. 2) The current permit is for 300 milk cows at %100 confinement. The permit states that this is 420,000 lbs. SSLW and the manure volume of 300 milk cows at 100% confinement. If the calculations in #1 exceed those in #2 (i.e, the permit) you would need to formally submit a permit application and have the permit/certificate of coverage modified BEFORE bringing cattle on site. An email will not suffice. Changing the permit can take several weeks so please allow for this. Let me know what you/Phil Ridge decide to do. Have you submitted a form to designate an OIC at the Ridge Farm? Phillip sent me a letter this morning stating he is no longer is OIC at the Ridge Farm. Hope this answers your questions.

When the NPDES permit reverted back to a State Permit in 2007, we again failed to issued the permit per the current waste plan that was based on 300 milk cows. I'm requesting that the permit issued in 2009 be rescinded and a new permit be issued for 300 milk cows. ** As this farm may frequently need to change the type of dairy cattle on this farm (heifers, milk, dry, calves), I also suggest that the Certificate of Coverage (COC) include a paragraph stating that the farm may NOT exceed the steady state live weight (SSLW), nor the manure volume, expected for 300 milk cows UNLESS the farm requests in writing that the SSLW be increased and a permit expansion application and corresponding WUP be submitted to your office. I think we also need to state in the permit, exactly what the SSLW number is to be.** Should the farm have more than 300 dairy cattle (of any type), then it would be up to them, though their tech specialist, to document the current SSLW. I think this could simply be a letter from the tech specialist that the OIC keeps with his waste plan. The regional office should also be copied on this letter. "If the technical specialist's calculations determine that the current SSLW exceeds that specified in the new COC, then the farm would need to de -populate down to the permitted SSLW limit OR submit an application for an expansion. Does this sound ok with everybody? Speak now... or forever hold your peace.

From: Rosebrock, Melissa[mailto:melissa.rosebrock@ncdenr.gov] Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2010 1:30 PM To: Blackwood, Randy - Asheboro, NC; Joshi, J.R, Cc: Chris Holder Subject: Farm #76-25 Discrepancy in cattle numbers between permit and WUP JR and/or Randy, I'm hoping you all can help me sort this out. Currently... This farm is currently housing 410 heifers but the most recent permit issued in October 2009 is for 200 heifers and 150 dry cows. It appears to me that this farm may be operating above their permitted cattle number based on the steady state live weight (SSLW) and the manure produced by this number of cattle. Their July 2009 inspection states that 450 heifers were on site and the July 2008 inspection reports that they had 600 milk cows (I could have added the heifers and milk cattle together or the farm could have happened to have that number on that date ... I don't recall.) Some background_. The most recent waste plan I have is dated 8/14/2007 and was written for 300 dairy milk cows, producing 2,234,700 total gal of liquid manure. The waste plan also includes a narrative explaining how 100 milk cows and 300 heifers produces only 1,217,700 gal. of waste per year so as to allow the farm some flexibility in the type of dairy cattle they wanted to raise. Waste plans dated 8/26/2004 and 6/4/99 were for 300 dairy milk cows also. The permit issued in October 2004 was for 300 dairy cattle (i.e. milk cows). However, when the facility reverted from an NPDES permit (due to a discharge) back to a State Permit in July 2007, the new permit was issued for 200 heifers and 150 dry cows. Why? What happened? I guess I missed this back in 2007 since the farm was around 300 heifers and assumed they would be producing less waste than the 200 heifers and 100 dry cows. Now that the facility is over 400 heifers we need to address the issue. The waste plan needs to match the permit or DWQ needs to change the permit. Is there another waste plan out there that I don't have a copy of? Future... This facility is proposing to milk dairy cattle at this farm again. Chris, do you know how many? Or, how many heifers or dry cows? We'll need to know those numbers. Please keep Phillip in the loop as he claims he doesn't have email O. Can anyone shed light on this dilemma? Thanks for your assistance.

Location ; Ridge farm # 76-25 , in Randolph County. I'm very disappointed and sincerely regret that waste and silage seepage from Silo located at Ridge Farm on Plainfield Rd. entered an unnamed tributary to Back Creek. This situation came as a complete surprise and was absolutely unintentional. Steve Mathis supplies and harvest our silage. We had a empty silo located at Ridge Farm and Mr. Mathis requested that he bring silage from his farm located in North Wilkeboro and store it in our silo located at Ridge Farm. Mr.. Mathis filled this silo the first two weeks of June 2004. Apparently this silage was so wet, that along with the rain fall on it while the silo was being filled caused the silo to seep an unusually large amount of waste leachate. This is a leased farm , where no cows are being milked and subsequently I never had cause to visit the silo and I was not aware of any problem. Just as soon as Ms Rosebrock called my office someone was on the way to review the situation . My brother ,(Wayne) and his son, (Otto) immediately upon being informed of this problem, took charge and promptly stopped the leakage from entering the stream. We are presently catching all seepage in a collection box and then pumping it into a liquid manure spreader tank. Also during the investigation DWQ obsevered that a drainage ditch that runs through a cattle lot below the silo may have contributed to the problem. The cattle in this lot is being limited to use of this lot only during dry conditions . Plans to fence out the ditch area are in process. I will remove cattle immediately if deemed necessary. 0 .0 Our annual inspection is coming up soon. At that time whatever additional measures are required will be taken care of immediately. This violation was a very unfortunante accident and was absolutely unintentional . I take the duties and obligations of the DWQ to be very serious and important. I am very sorry to have caused anyone problems and stress over this accident. I have come to totally respect the DWQ and other agencies who protect our environment . I realize it is our future. Dairy farming has fallen on hard times . I am aware that fines can be levied against me, I can only plead with you that a fine will not be brought against Buttke Dairy considing the facts and knowing this was an accident. Your consideration will be appreciated. a Complete Items 1.2, and 3.

Easley, Governor William G. Ross Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Alan W. Klimek, P. E. Director Division of Water Quality Coleen H. Sullins, Deputy Director Division of Water Quality This letter is to summarize the findings of a June 17, 2004 investigation resulting from a complaint received by the Division of Water Quality's Winston-Salem Regional Office (DWQ-WSRO). The complaintant alleged the presence of dairy waste, sludge, and foam in Back Creek in Randolph County. The caller also stated that the water was discolored and that there was a very strong waste odor emanating from the creek. WSRO staff determined the source of the discharge to be an in -ground silo located at the Ridge Farm, which is leased by Mr. Arlin Buttke of Buttke Dairy Enterprises. A "Final Notes" copy our investigation is attached for your review. Per staff observations and statements made by Mr, Wayne Buttke, certified animal waste operator, the silos had been filled about two weeks prior, then covered with plastic, tires, and dry waste from the pack -'barn. The waste was observed flowing from the silo and downhill into a coilection box, where it was then discharged from a 16" (approximately) plastic pipe and into a freshwater ditch. The unpermitted discharge continued downhill through the drainage ditch where it entered an unnamed tributary to Back Creek (Class WSH, HQW waters of the State), a total of over 700 feet from the silo. Back Creek, you will note, flows directly into Lake Lucas, which is a secondary water supply for the City of Asheboro. Staff also obtained discharge, upstream, and downstream samples for analysis of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), nutrients, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), temperature, and turbidity. We are still awaiting the results for some of these analyses. Photographs depicting the discharge were also obtained. Failure to acquire a permit prior to making an outlet to waters of the State or to cause or permit any waste to be discharged to waters of the State is a violation of NCGS 143-215.1, Please respond, in writing, stating how you propose to eliminate the potential for this type of unpermitted discharge in the future. Staff observed, however, that Mr, Buttke's certified operator (Mr. Wayne Buttke) and son were cooperative and promptly abated the discharge after Buttke Dairy Enterprises was contacted by the WSRO. It was noted that several yards of wood shavings were stockpiled at the low end of the silo to absorb the waste leachate and to cease the discharge of waste into the collection box. The operator also obtained a pump and began removing the liquid waste from the collection box and transferring the waste into a spreader tank. It is iwC ENUR N. C, Division of Water Quality/Water Quality Section 585 Waughtown Street Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27107 (336) 771-4600 Customer Service 1-877-623-6748 • • Ridge Farm July 9, 2004 Page 2 our expectation that the reclaimed waste has been transferred into the waste storage pond located at the facility. Please indicate if/when this task was completed. DWQ staff also documented some additional water quality concerns and violations. Specifically, the pH of the surface water at the point of discharge was documented to be 3.7 units, which is a violation of the NC "Water Quality Standards for Freshwater Classifications." NC Water Quality Standards state that the pH in the receiving stream must be between 6.0 and 9.0 units. The pH of the water approximately 1.3 miles downstream was still only 6.12 units. The DO level in Back Creek was measured to be 1.00 mg/L at the discharge site and only 2.04 mg/L, 1.3 miles downstream from the discharge site. Again, this is a violation of the NC "Water Quality Standards" which states that the DO in the receiving stream must be at least 5.0 mg/L. During the June 17, 2004 investigation, DWQ staff further observed that the drainage ditch, mentioned above, runs through a partially denuded cattle lot below the silos. This office strongly suggests that cattle be excluded from the ditch in order to reduce further and/or future run-off of sediment and manure into Back Creek. Please state in your written response, your plans for addressing this continuing source of waste from Ridge Farm. The WSRO is proposing an enforcement action against you for the above referenced violations. If you have justification that these violations were caused by circumstances beyond your control, or you have an explanation that you wish to present, please respond in writing within ten (10) days following receipt of this notice. The WSRO will review your response and forward it to the Water Quality Section Chief with the enforcement package. In the absence of any justification, the Regional Office will recommend that an enforcement action be taken immediately. Be advised that North Carolina General Statutes now provide for penalties of up to $25,000 per day per violation as well as criminal penalties for violations of state environmental laws and regulations. Please address your response to my attention at the address shown on the letterhead. If you have any questions concerning these matters, please contact Melissa Rosebrock or me at (336) 771-4600.

Today's inspection is a result of a complaint received today by the DWQ-WSRO alleging dairy waste, sludge, and foam in .Back Creek (Class WS 11; HQW). Caller also stated that there was a very strong odor in the creek. Derek Denard and myself responded o the call. Sludge, foam, waste and a very strong odor were observed in the stream at the complaintant's residence. Sludge worms were also present in the solid matter in the creek. Additionally, the surface water was a "brownish" color. Staff tracked the source of the discharge to the Ridge Farm. Specifically, a discharge of silage leachate and solid/liquid manure was observed flowing from one of the in -ground silos at the time of the investigation. According to staff observations and statements by Mr. Wayne Buttke, the silos had been filled within the last two weeks, then covered with plastic. Solid waste from the pack barn was placed n top of the plastic to "push the air out from under the plastic." Several tires were also placed on top of the silage/plasticlmanure. The discharge was observed flowing from the silo and downhill into a collection box, where it was then discharged from a 16" black plastic pipe and into a freshwater drainage ditch. The discharge continued downhill through the drainage ditch where it entered an unnamed tributary to Back Creek (approximately 720 feet from the silo). Several photos were taken of the discharge source and receiving water- Staff also obtained pH, temperature and dissolved oxygen readings upstream of the discharge point, (Continued on Page 3) ,�i 1 i t d ;� and ��.

(Continued) AL at the discharge, and downstream from the discharge, DWQ staff also took samples of the receiving stream to be analyzed for fecal oliform, nutrients, biochemical oxygen demand, and turbidity. After determining the source of the unpermitted discharge, Buttke Dairy Enterprises was notified of the discharge by DWQ and the certified operator (Wayne Buttke) and his son (Auto) were on site within the hour. Wood shavings were piled at the low end of the silo to absorb the leachate and to cease the discharge from the silo, The operator obtained a pump and began removing the liquid waste from the collection box and transferred the waste into a spreader tank while DWQ was onsite. The reclaimed waste was then to be transferred into the facility's waste storage pond. The discharge had ceased prior to DWQ leaving the site. 3. There is a drainage ditch that runs through a partially denuded cattle lot below the silos. Suggest excluding cattle from the ditch to educe further sediment and manure run-off into the freshwater drainage ditch. 7. Still need to backfill waste pond embankment. Check next visit. 26. Facility did not notify DWQ of discharge from the silo into the drainage ditch. Mr. Buttke stated that he had recently observed a mall trickle from the silo, but did not realize that it was entering surface waters. 28. DWQ will be performing this facility's annual compliance inspection within the next two months. Will check conditions again at that time.

Several concerns were noted which require your immediate attention. During the inspection, it was discovered that the loading pipe from the waste storage pond was leaking waste from a damaged pipe. Additionally, there were some holes that had formed or been dug by animals around the loading pipe. These items need to be repaired as soon as possible. Staff also observed silage waste draining from a silo trench into a surface water drain that discharges near the creek. While there was not an immediate threat of the unpermitted discharges reaching waters of the State on the date of the inspection, the potential certainly exists for a discharge to waters in the future, particularly if conditions deteriorate. You should also be aware that the referenced discharges are a violation of your Animal Waste Permit and North Carolina General Statute (NCGS) 143-215.1(a), and could subject you to civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day, per violation. To eliminate the possibility of unpem- itted waste getting into surface waters of the State you should make the necessary repairs to your facility immediately. Per your Animal Waste Permit (Section 111, #2) a gauged marker indicating the maximum liquid level and the top of the dam is to be installed within 60 days of issuance of the Certificate of Coverage under the general permit. Our records indicate that your Certificate of Coverage (Animal Waste Permit) was issued November 2, 1999. Again, this is a violation of your Animal Waste Permit. Staff also noted that the information in your waste application records was not complete. Specifically, a waste analysis was not performed within 60 days of the April 2000 waste application. Please note that waste and soil analysis, once obtained, should be kept for a minimum of five years.

Remember that waste applications should be applied during the time the crop can utilize the nutrients in the waste. In general, waste should be applied no earlier than 30 days prior to planting. A visual inspection of the facility also determined that the creek bank at the rear of the property was denuded and eroded due to the cattle having access to the creek. As this is a fenced, buffer•area, the cattle are to be kept out of this area. A written response is to be submitted to this office within thirty (30) days of receipt of this Notice indicating the actions taken to correct each of the noted concerns. This written response should include a the explanation of "when and how" the problems are to be corrected.

The physical address of the farm headquarters is 3562 Plainfield Rd., Randleman, NC. The Ridge Farm is owned by Phillip Ridge, and is leased and operated by King's Mill Dairy (David Faulk). The operator in charge is Phillip Wright. The farm is associated with the King's Mill Dairy and is currently used for pasture and crop production, and dry cow and heifer management. High quality pasture is an integral part of the operation. The facility is permitted for 300 dairy cattle and currently averages 100 dry cows and 300 heifers. Estimates of animal waste produced by the permitted number (300 dairy cows) were used in this plan because they offer the highest estimate of nutrients generated from animal waste (worst case scenario) and show that there is a morc than sufficient amount of hay and cropland to receive that amount of waste at agronomic rates. This plan also offers the producer some flexibliity with the realities of constantly changing animal numbers and demand for certain phases of production. The current animal numbers generate approximately half of the amount of waste that would be generated by the permitted number. The estimated amount of waste produced by the current animal population (100 dry cows/300 heifers) under 50% confinement is: - 7,749 gal/hd/yr x 100 hd x 0.5 =' 387,450 gal/yr Dairy (Milk Cow) Liquid Manure Slurry 5,535 gal/hd/yr x 300 hd x 0.5 = 830,250 gal/yr Dairy (Heifer) Liquid Manure Slurry = 1,217,700 gal/year total The estimtated amount of waste produced by the permitted animal population (300 dairy cows) under typical 100% confinement is: 7,749 gal/hd/yr x 300 hd x 1.0 = 2,324,700 gal/yr Dairy (Milk Cow) Liquid Manure Slurry Animal waste is applied from two sources: a dairy liquid manure slurry and surface scraped solids. The liquid waste is broadcast applied to all fields in the plan using a honeywagon (contracted by Southers), the solids are applied using a smaller manure spreader. The predominant crop rotation on the farm is small grain (oat) hay followed by double -cropped soybeans also grown for hay. On every second or third year portions of these same crops are harvested as silage to fill 2 large bunk silos. With the recent addition of land leased from R. Cahsatt (Tract 2062) the farm has begun producing corn silage on some crop fields. This plan includes a corn silage rotation for fields that the producer has indicated are currently in corn or are likely to be future corn production fields. The farm grows no -till corn, therefore, waste application to the corn crop is broadcast surface applied. Following corn the soil is turned for the planting of small grains. Pre -plant waste applications to small grains are soil incorporated. Several fields that are currently used for crop production are likely to be converted to fescue pasture (Tract 2250 fields 1 - 4). For these fields a fescue option has been added to the rotation. The remaing fields are managed for fescue pasture and hay. Nutrients should be applied according to the attached Nutrient Management Plan in order to maximize plant production, properly utilize manure on these fields, and minimize off -site transport of the nutrients applied. This plan identifies the amount, source, placement, and timing of nutrients to be applied for ...------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Preview Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 09-28-2007 Narrative Page Page i of 3 Narrative these fields. Nitrogen application rates are based on realistic yield expectations for the crop, soil type and field slope. Application rates for other nutrients and amendments are based on a soil test. Waste applications are to be made in accordance with land application setbacks as set by the state of North Carolina, as well as applicable federal and local laws. Current setbacks are available at the NC Division of Soil & Water Conservation 1217 guidance website, http://www.enr.state.nc.us/DSWC/pages/guidance—docs.html Because animal waste is being applied, all fields in this plan have been evaluated for potential phosphorous loss using the Phosphorous Loss Assessment Tool (PLAT). (*Phosphorous lost from fields can become pollution in surface water through surface runoff, erosion of soil or by leaching.) The PLAT rating for each field is listed in the Planned Crops Summary section of this waste plan. A field with a PLAT rating of 'low' or 'medium' requires no additional measures. A rating of high will require reduced manure applications, and a rating of'very high' will require ceasing all waste applications to that field. All PLAT calculations were done using PAN Application Rates from the Nutrient Management Software and information from the most recent Waste Analysis Report (W 10055) dated 6/15/2007: N = &0 lbs./ton, P = 7.0 lbs/ton. All maps included with this plan have been generated specifically for use with Nutrient Management planning and implementation. Aerial images from the Farm Service Agency's National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) 2006 were used in generating plan maps with photographs. Road, stream, soils and parcel information were obtained from Randolph County's GIS database.

Realistic Yield estimates are also provided for each crop, as well as the crop% P205 Removal Rate, The Leaching Index (LI) and the Phosphorous Loss Assessment Tool (PLAT) Rating are also provided for each field, where available. If a field's PLAT Rating is High, any planned manure application is limited to the phosphorous removal rate of the harvested plant biomass for the crop rotation or multiple years in the crop sequence. Fields with a Very High PLAT Rating should receive no additional applications of manure. Regardless of the PLAT rating, starter fertilizers may be recommended in accordance with North Carolina State University guidelines or recommendations. The quantity of P205 applied to each crop is shown in the following table if the field's PLAT rating is High or Very High.

This table provides a nutrient balance for the listed fields and crops for each year of the plan. Required nutrients are based on the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements and soil test results. The quantity of nutrient supplied by each source is also identified. The total quantity of nitrogen applied to each crop should not exceed the required amount. However, the quantity of other nutrients applied may exceed their required amounts. This most commonly occurs when manure or other byproducts are utilized to meet the nitrogen needs of the crop.

Preview Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 2/1/2008 NMR Page Page I [ of I I The Required Soil Test Values shown in the following table provide a summary of recommended actions that should be taken if soil tests indicate excessive levels of copper or zinc. Fields that receive manure must have an annual soil analysis for these elements. High levels of zinc and copper can adversely affect plant growth. Alternative crop sites must be used when the concentration of these metals approach excessive levels. Site life can be estimated by dividing the amount of copper and zinc to be applied in Ibslacre by 0.036 and 0.071, respectively and multiplying the result by 0.85. By adding this quantity to the current soil index for copper or zinc, we can predict life of the site for waste disposal. In addition to copper and zinc indices, this table also provides a summary of lime recommendations for each crop based on the most recent soil sample. Application of lime at recommended rates is necessary to maintain soil pH in the optimum range for crop production. Required Soil Test Values Tract Field Crop pH Lime Recom.

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.

In the Piedmont, tall fescue can be planted Aug. 20 to Oct. 10 (best) and Feb. 15 to Mar. 20. For pure -stand broadcast seedings use 20 to 30 lblac., for drilled use 15 to 20 lb1ac. seed. Use certified seed to avoid introducing weeds or annual ryegrass. Plant seed 0.25" to 0.5" deep for pure stands, 0.25" in mixture with clovers. Soil test for preplant and maintenance lime, phosphorus, and potassium recommendations. Apply 40 to 60 lb/ac nitrogen at planting for pure stands only. Do not apply N for mixtures with clovers but use proper legume inoculation techniques. Apply 150 to 200 lblac. N to pure -stand fescue for hay production; reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Apply N Feb, 1 to Mar. 20 and Aug. 20 to Sept. 30, with equal amounts in each window. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for additional information or consult your regional agronomist or extension agent for assistance. The following crop note applies to field(s): 05, 07, 1, 2, 3 Corn Silage: Piedmont and Mountains In the Piedmont, corn should be planted when soil temperature reaches 52 to 55 degrees fahrenheit. Plant 1-2" deep. Adequate depth control is essential. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Apply 10 to 12 lbs. nitrogen per ton of expected yield. All nitrogen can be applied at planting. Also acceptable is to apply 213 to 3/4 of the nitrogen at planting and the rest when corn is in the 7 to 9 leaf stage. Tropical corn for silage needs about 6-8 lbs nitrogen per ton of expected yield applying no more than 100 to 120 lbs total nitrogen. Research has shown that nitrogen can be reduced by approximately 15 percent when soil injected. The total N is dependent on the soil type and expected yield. Apply phosphorus and potassium according to a soil test before planting. Phosphorus is best utilized when banded with the planter as a starter. Plant samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the nutrient status of the corn. Timely management of weeds and insects is essential in profitable corn silage production. Plant a cover crop after harvest. ------------- -- . -.....-----------...-.......------- .. ......--- .----------- Preview Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 02-01-2008 Crop Note Page Page 1 of 3 The following crop note applies to field(s): 06, 10, 11, 12 Fescue: Piedmont Adaptation: Well -adapted.

The following crop note applies to field(s): 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 07, 1, 2, 3 Double -Crop Soybeans, Piedmont Double -crop soybeans should be planted as early in .tune as possible with planting completed by July 4th. When no -tilling soybeans in small grain straw, it is essential to manage the straw to achieve adequate plant populations. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Plant 4-6 seed/row foot for 7-8" drills and 6-8 seed/row foot for 15" rows. Seeding depth should be 1-1 1/2" and adequate depth control is essential. Phosphorus and potash recommended for the soybeans can be applied to the wheat in the Fall. Soybeans produce their own nitrogen and are normally grown without additions of nitrogen. However, applications of 20-30 lbs/acre N are sometimes made at planting to promote early growth and vigor. Tissue samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status of the soybeans. Timely management of weeds and insects is essential for profitable double crop soybean production. ----------------••-------....----------------------------------------- ................................. ------------------------------------- ------------.......

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 Iand 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). 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. --------.. -- - ------ --- ------------------- --....----------------------------- ------------- ------------ 855828 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 8114/2007 Specification Page 1 8. 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. 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. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. --------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------ 855828 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 8/14/2007 Specification Page 2 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. 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.

Your CNMP is a USDA Conservation Plan that addresses the natural resource concerns associated with the management of manure and wastewater from livestock operation. Your CNMP addresses: Manure and Your CNMP ensures your operation has adequate collection, storage, and/or Wastewater treatment of manure and organic by-products that allow land application of wastes Storage and in an environmentally sound manner. Manure handling and animal mortality Handling disposal practices that are designed as part of your CNMP will meet applicable NRCS standards. Land Application Your CNMP includes a Nutrient Management/Waste Utilization Plan for all fields of Manure and where manure or organic by-products are applied to ensure that nitrogen, Wastewater phosphorus, and other potential pollutants do not cause a water quality problem. Your Nutrient Management Plan meets NRCS's standards 590 and 633 in the Field Office Technical Guide. Land Treatment ' Your CNMP includes erosion control practices on all land where manure or for Application organic by-products are applied to ensure soil loss is kept to a sustainable level. Areas Example practices include conservation tillage, cover crops, contour farming, diversions or terraces, or similar practices. All erosion control practices designed as part of your CNMP will meet NRCS standards in the Field Office Technical Guide. Record Keeping Although operation and maintenance records are your responsibility, your CNMP includes record -keeping recommendations associated with each practice in your CNMP. State laws and regulations identify specific record -keeping requirements for regulated or permitted operations, Your CNMP may also address: Feed Feed management activities may be used to reduce the nutrient content of Management manure, reducing land application requirements. Examples include phase feeding, amino acid supplemented low crude protein diets, or the use of low phytin phosphorus grain and enzymes, such as phytase. You should always consult a professional animal nutritionist before making any changes, as feed management activities are not a viable or acceptable alternative for all operations. Other Utilization There are a number of alternative technologies to conventional manure Options management being evaluated in North Carolina and across the Nation as environmentally safe alternatives to land application of manure. NORTH CAROLINA LAWS OR REGULATIONS USDA does not have a regulatory role for nutrient management. Although CNMPs are only required by USDA for animal operations participating in the Environmental Quality Incentives Program under the 2002 Farm Bill, your CNMP may assist you in meeting federal or state water quality regulations or permit requirements. You should be aware of applicable laws and regulations in North Carolina that regulate the storage, handling, and land application of manure and organic by-products generated on your operation. For additional information on certified Waste Utilization Plans and applicable state laws and regulations, contact the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality (919) 733-5083 or Division of Soil and Water Conservation (919) 733-2302.

Cleanup spillage on a routine basis (e.g., 7 - 10 day interval during summer; 15-30 day interval during Feed Storage • Accumulation of feed residues Reduce moisture accumulation within and around immediate perimeter of feed storage areas by insuring drainage away from site and/or providing adequate containment (e.g., covered bin for brewer's grain and similar high moisture grain products). Inspect for and remove or break up accumulated solids in filter strips around feed storage as needed. Animal Bolding Areas ! Accumulations of animal wastes 10 Eliminate low areas that trap moisture along fences and feed wastage and other locations where waste accumulates and disturbance by animals is minimal. Maintain fence rows and filter strips around animal holding areas to minimize accumulations of wastes (i.e. inspect for and remove or break up accumulated solids as needed.
