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. Nutrient management plans may require that the application of animal waste be limited so as to prevent over application ofphosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field. In such situations, additional nitrogen applications from nonorganic sources may be required to supply the recommended amounts of nitrogen.

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application.lt 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 fleld (see USDA, MRCS 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). -------------------------.......------------------------....----------------------------------------------..............--------------------.......----........ 886164 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 8/15/2017 Specification Page 1 i 0 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. 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 sliall 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 �dted 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.

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. 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.

Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for such request: Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered- (1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282. I (b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the violator; (2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation; (3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident; (4) whether the violator has been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or (5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions. Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee).

EXPLANATION: Mr. Steve Tedder NC Division of Water Quality Water Quality Section 585 Waughtown St Winston-Salem, NC 27107 Dear Mr. Tedder: Louis Shore 2220 Shore Rd Yadkinv_ille NC 27055 " This letter is in reference to the Notice of Violation /Notice of Intent to Enforce that resulted from the compliance inspection preformed by iVlelissa Rosebrock on November 26. 2003. at Shore Brothers Dairy Facility. Since the inspection at Shore Brothers Dairy on November 26. 2003, I have had the waste analyzed from the beet cattle part of the operation and have a copy enclosed along with records of previous waste applications, the waste utilization plan has been revised so as to include wheat where irrigation application occurs, soil samples have been sent to the NCDA & CS Sol] Testing Laboratory for analvses and have begun keeping weekly freeboard waste levels on the forms provided. Failure to do these things was an oversight on my part. I was not aware that the wheat for grazing was not in my waste utilization plan for winter waste application. Enclosed are copies of records, waste analy_ sis. freeboard records. and waste utilization plan. Sincerely. Louis Shore WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Shore Brothers Dairy The animal waste on Shore Brothers Dairy is scraped daily into a waste holding pond which is designed to store waste from 250 dairy animals for six months. Approximate annual accumulation of waste is 1,356,600 gallons or 678,300 gallons every six months. These calculations are based on 70% confinement. The waste is land applied utilizing two different systems for application. The two systems are irrigation with a traveling irrigation system of liquid slurry and solids spread with a box spreader. The summary table includes all fields to which waste can be land applied either by irrigation or hauling. The solids are generated on a neighboring farm of 225 beef cattle. This is a shared responsibility where Shore Brothers Dairy hauls the solids and The Milk House is responsibile for the liquids. The waste is accounted for in The Milk House waste utilization plan. Shore Brothers Dairy will land apply solids on fields in this plan agronomically. Approximately 367 acres of land are available to apply the waste. Of the 367 total acres, approximately 310 acres are useable for actual waste applications. The waste system is managed such that there are 242 acres that waste can be hauled on and 73 acres where waste is irrigated. The cropping system which is utilized on Shore Brothers Dairy is a double cropping system of corn for silage and barley, corn grain and wheat with a rotation of soybeans every other year on some fields, orchardgrass hay and pasture, and fescue pasture and matua. Fall waste applications (Aug. - Dec.)are generally made to fields where corn silage and corn grain have been harvested prior to sowing barley and wheat. Waste can also be irrigated onto the matua in the fall. Waste applications are made to the matua/wheat throughout the year (Jan. -Dec.) utilizing irrigation. There is more than adequate land to make all waste applications. There is no additional commercial fertilizer applied to the small grain fields where waste is applied. At an application rate of halt the waste that could be applied there is still more than adequate land available for all waste applications. The Realistic Yield Expectations (R.Y.E.) on Shore Brothers Dairy are as follows: Crop R.Y.E. lbs. N/R.Y.E. lbs. PAN/ac Barley (grain) 80 bu. 1.6 128 lbs. N Wheat (grain) 60 bu. 2.2 132 lbs.

Soil nutrients in all fields where waste will be applied must be analyzed annually. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. If at anytime you plan to add additional land to the plan for application of waste or make any type of changes to the plan, you need to contact your technical specialist to make an amendment to the plan. 1 • i Application Rate (gallons/acre) Applic.

Dairy, Facility #99-7 Yadkin County Dear Mr. Shore: Alan W. Klimek, P. E. Director Division of Water Quality Coleen H. Sullins, Deputy Director Division of Water Quality December 3, 2003 This letter is to summarize the violations observed during a compliance inspection performed at Shore Bros. Dairy on November 26, 2003. As you recall, Melissa Rosebrock, with the State's Division of Water Quality Winston-Salem Regional Office (WSRO) conducted the announced inspection. While Ms. Rosebrock noted that excellent work had been completed regarding new stock trails, buffers, fencing, cattle drinkers, etc. to eliminate animal waste and sediment run-off from your operation, there are still several recordkeeping violations of the Cattle Waste Operation General Permit that warrant your immediate attention and action: In reviewing the animal waste application records, staff observed that no waste records had been maintained for the waste generated from the beef cattle part of your operation. Per your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP), the waste generated by the beef cattle is to be managed and land applied at.agronomic rates using a box spreader. DWQ, staff also noted a discrepancy between the actual receiving crop and the crop specified in the CAWMP. Specifically, onsite waste application records indicate that waste was irrigated onto wheat in March 2003. The CAWMP specifically states that matua grass is to be the receiving crop for animal waste applied by irrigation. The CAWMP must be revised if you wish this cropping system to be implemented again next year. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations of the CAWMP is a violation of the Cattle Waste Operation General Permit (Section I, #2 and Section V, #5). 2. Staff also documented that soil analysis results were not obtained for any fields receiving animal waste in 2002. A review of your file also indicates that you were previously cited for failure to obtain required soil analysis in 2000 (see November 2001 DWQ NOV). Failure to have complete records is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.10C and the Cattle Waste Operation General Permit (Section III, #3.). f NCDENR N. C.

Failure to record weekly waste storage pond levels is again, a violation of your permit (Section III, #2).

Item # 1: I c ontacte.d David Graham to revs a our-ir-rigatio n "pulls" to match -the way I irrigate. Several changes had been made in the pastures that affected the way I irrigate. With the new design, it will make record keeping correspond with what I am actually .doing. The changes have been made, along with reaps and also wettable acre charts and traveling irrigation gun setting charts have been redone to go into my (CAWMP). This material is in my possession and will be used in my records when I receive n1y analysis on my waste. Item #2: Soil and waste samples have been taken and sent to Raleigh. Item #3: Land that was used for -waste application that was.not permitted, was because when the original maps were made, the land was not usable. Changes were made that allowed the land to be used and are now shown on the maps, permitted, and reflected in the CAWMP. Item #4: Waste samples and soil samples have been sent to Raleigh and when the results return, 2001 records can be updated and transferred to my IRR- 2 forms. This will be completed and forwarded to your office as soon as the analysis is returned. y Item #5: The Yadkin County SWCDIN RCS office has been contacted about the cattle kept on the other side of the road from the dairy. They are designing a system cf stock hails, fencing, and remote waterers to correct problems in the pasture. I am waiting to hear from them about cast -sharing money and final recommendations. The work will begin after these plans are in place. All of the items in the N. O.V. letter have been or are in the process of being addressed. As soon as the waste analyses returns, all the items can be addressed. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank _your y_aur_time-and consideration.

Dairy #99-7 Yadkin County Dear Mr. Shore: Michael F. Easley, Governor William G. Ross Jr., Secretary North Carolina D rtment of Environment and Natural Resources Gregory J. Thorpe, Ph.D. Acting Director Division of Water Quality November 16, 2001 On November 5,.2001 Melissa Rosebrock of the Division of Water Quality's Winston-Salem Regional Office performed a compliance inspection .at the Shore Bros. Dairy in Yadkin County. Staff noted several violations and concerns regarding animal waste recordkeeping that'require your immediate attention. The following items should be addressed in your response: `a`1,'*yA,er` . WC—d NR Customer Service 1 B0o 858-0368 1. A review of your records indicates that the current waste application fields, patterns, acres, and irrigation "pulls" do not correspond to those in the irrigation design and Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). As described in the 2000 DWQ Compliance Inspection and Notice of Violation, these discrepancies were to be corrected as soon as possible. You should contact your irrigation specialist immediately to determine if the design may be revised to reflect your actual waste application procedures. The CAWMP should also be revised to reflect the new irrigation design. 2. While reviewing the farm's waste application records, it was noted that animal waste and soil analyses were not obtained for 2000. On the date of inspection, these analyses had not been obtained for 2001, either. This is a continued violation, which was previously brought to your attention (see 2001 SWCD Operational Review, 2000 DWQ Compliance Inspection, and 2000 DWQ Notice of Violation. `Failure to have complete_ records is a violation of NCGS . 143-215.1, your CAWMP, and your'deemed permit. - 3. Waste from your storage pond has also been applied to fields that were not in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). This is a violation of,your Certified Animal Waste Utilization Plan and NCGS 143-215.10C(e.)(7), since the waste plan cannot assure the balance between nitrogen application rates and nitrogen crop requirements.

This form is used to record the total annual waste application to one field per crop cycle. It provides for calculating the total nitrogen application to the field and comparing it to the recommended nitrogen -loading rate. Because of the discrepancy in the irrigation design and recordkeeping, we cannot confirm that you did not overapply animal waste to the receiving fields. This was also mentioned during the 2000 DWQ Compliance Inspection and subsequent 2000 DWQ Notice of Violation. Again, failure to maintain complete animal waste records is a violation of NCGS 143-215.1, the CAWMP, and your deemed permit. 5. Cows were also being kept on an exterior lot across the road from the dairy. This lot was greatly eroded and void of vegetation. This concern was also noted during the 2001 Operation Review. Please note that, if permanent vegetation cannot be maintained on this pasture, then this area must be considered an animal feedlot, which would then subject it to the same regulations as your dairy operation. We strongly urge you to contact the Yadkin SWCD/NRCS for technical assistance regarding this matter. The Winston-Salem Regional Office is considering recommending an enforcement action against your facility for the above referenced violations. If, you have justification that these violations were caused by circumstances beyond your control, or you have an explanation regarding corrective action that you wish to present, please respond in writing within thirty (30) days following receipt of this Notice. Your response will be reviewed by Winston-Salem Regional Office staff and if an enforcement action is still deemed appropriate, your explanation/justification will be forwarded with the enforcement package to the Director for consideration. Please address your response to my attention at the address shown on the letterhead: In the absence of c any response, the Regional Office will recommend that an enforcement action be taken against your facility. Be advised that North Carolina General Statutes 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.

You were mailed an invoice in October 1999 notifying you that your certificate would expire December 31, 1999, and that a $10.00 annual renewal payment was due by that date. The 30-day grace period ended January 31, 2000. Since your payment was not received, your certificate expired effective December 31, 1999. Therefore, you do not possess a valid animal waste management certificate. Please note that without a valid certificate, law prohibits you from performing the duties of an operator in charge of an animal waste management system. Until you become certified again, you must designate a currently certified operator as operator in charge of your system. A designation form is enclosed. The next available opportunity to retake the Animal Waste Management System Operators certification examination will be December 14, 2000. An examination application is enclosed for your use.

In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers. Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRRI, IRR2, DRYI, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2, SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an appropriate enforcement action. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local .County Ordinance, or permitting requirement.

Additional information is required before we can continue our review. Please address the following by October 13, 1999: 1. The waste storage pond capacity documentation submitted indicates that the capacity of the pond at your facility is 111,486 cubic feet. This was confirmed with Tommy Burchette with USDA/NRCS. The volume that is on your certification form is 12,929 cubic feet. The certification form will need to be redone to show the corrected volume of your storage pond in order for this facility to be permitted. Please submit the corrected certification form. 2. Information was submitted about the application rate for your irrigation system. However, the total application amount is also needed. This is usually on Table 1 of your irrigation design. This table was submitted in your initial application but the table was blank. Please contact your irrigation system designer and/or installer or your technical specialist for this information. Irrigation events are to be listed in the WUP as the maximum application allowable for that soil type from the time the pumps are turned on until the time they are shut off. It is currently recommended that total application amounts not exceed one inch in any application event for any soil type. Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist. Please reference the subject permit application number'when providing the requested information. All information should be signed, sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below. The information requested by this letter must be submitted on or before October 13, 1999 or the Division will return your application as incomplete in accordance with 15A N.C.A.C. 2H .0200 and your facility will be considered to be operating without a permit.

Dairy Facility No. 99-07 Yadkin County On May 12, an Operation Review was conducted of Shore Bros. Dairy, facility no. 99-07. This Review, undertaken in accordance with G.S. 143-215.100, is one of two visits scheduled for all registered livestock operations during the 1997 calendar year. The Division of Water Quality will conduct a second site inspection. During the Review, it was determined that waste was no being discharged to the waters of the State, and the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and disposal systems were property maintained and operated under the responsible charge of a designated operator. However, the following management deficiency was discovered and noted for corrective action: failure to install start pumping markers within the pond. This management deficiency needs to be addressed and corrected. You are encouraged to contact your certified technical specialist if additional assistance is needed. During ensuing reviews, this same deficiency will be re-examined to determine if corrective actions were implemented. In order for your facility to remain in compliance with environmental regulations, animal waste cannot be discharged into the waters of the State, and the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and disposal systems must be properly maintained and operated under the responsible charge of a certified operator. Please remember that you are required to obtain and implement an approved animal waste management plan by the end of this year and have a certified operator. The plan must be certified by either a designated technical specialist or a professional engineer. For additional assistance with the plan or the certification course, please contact your local Soil and Water Conservation District Office or local Cooperative Extension Service Office.
