This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until. February 28, 2022and shall be subject to the
following specified conditions and limitations:
I. . PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The animal waste management system operated under this Permit shall be effectively
maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent the discharge of pollutants
to surface waters, wetlands, or ditches. Application of waste to terraces and grassed
waterways is acceptable as long as it is applied in accordance with Natural Resources
Conservation Service (MRCS) Standards and'does not result in a discharge of waste to
surface waters, wetlands, or ditches. If the Facility has a discharge of waste that reaches
surface waters or wetlands resulting from a storm event more severe than a 25-year, 24-
hour storm, it will not be in violation of this Permit, as long as the Facility is in
compliance with its CAWMP and this Permit.
2. No discharge of waste shall result in a violation of the water quality standards established
for receiving waters as per Title 15A, Subchapter 2B, Section .0200 of the North Carolina
Administrative Code (NCAC) and Title 15A, Subchapter 2L of the NCAC.
3. The facility's CAWMP is hereby incorporated by reference into this Permit. The
CAWMP must be consistent with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances, and standards
(federal, state and local) in effect at the time of siting, design, and certification of the
Facility.
4. Any proposed increase or modification to the annual average that exceeds the thresholds
set by North Carolina General Statues (NCGS) 143-215.1 OB (1) will require a
modification to the CAWMP and the Permit prior to modification of the Facility.
5. Animal waste shall not be applied within one hundred (100) feet of any well, with the
exception of monitoring wells. The allowable distance to monitoring wells shall be
established on a case -by -case basis by the Division.

production.
4. Land application rates shall be in accordance with the CAWMP. In no case shall land
application rates exceed the agronomic rate of the nutrient of concern for the receiving
crop. In no case shall land application rates result in excessive ponding or any runoff
during any given application event.
5. If manure or sludges are applied on conventionally tilled, bare soil, the waste shall be
incorporated into the soil within two (2) days after application on the land. This
requirement does not apply to no -till fields, pastures, or fields where crops are actively
growing.
ti. Pesticides, toxic chemicals, and petroleum products shall not be disposed of in the animal
waste management system.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: Massey Creek Farms - Garland McCollum
Location: 210 Massey Creek Rd., Madison, NC 27025
Telephone: 910-427-7030
Type Operation: 1205 head swine - Farrow to weanling
Number of Animals: 1205 sows
(Design Capacity)
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface
and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of
commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste
utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application
cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic
yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer
value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste
based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more
nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching
potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.. Normally waste shall not be
applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be
applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is
raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters
which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the
potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more
than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor
problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste are based on typical nutrient content for this type of
facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management
facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of
waste samples to the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217
adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.
Amount of Waste Produced Per Year(gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
1,205 animals X 3,203 gallons (amt.) waste/animal/year=3,859,615 (amt.) waste/year.
Amount of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) Produced Per Year
1,205 animals X 5.4 lbs. PAN/animal/year = 6,507 lbs. PAN/year. (PAN from N. C. Tech. Guide Std.
633)
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to
apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown and surface
application:

THIS TABLE IS NOT NEEDED IF WASTE IS NOT BEING APPLIED BY IRRIGATION, HOWEVER
A SIMILAR TABLE WILL BE NEEDED FOR DRY LITTER OR SLURRY.
Your facility is designed for 90 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on
the average of once every _3_MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in
your structure exceed Elevation 94.3 (This elevation changed as per information provided by USDA -
NRCS Engineering).
Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil and
Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining
the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.
Narrative of Operation: Owner will apply waste to the above fields using irrigation as specified in the
Irrigation Plans developed by Environmental Engineering Services of Jackson Springs, NC.
Areas that are not effectively covered by irrigation can be utilized with surface spreading equipment.
This equipment should be calibrated properly and the same level of care should be exercised when applying
waste in this manner. All buffers listed in the irrigation plan apply regardless of the method used in
applying the waste.
Owner may graze the application fields — BUT nitrogen rates must be reduced by 25% If all fields listed in
Table I are grazed the total pounds of PAN that can be applied are 6,753. This still results in a deficit of
nitrogen for the cropping system.
Sludge will accumulate in the first stage lagoon at a rate of 89 cu.ft. per active sow unit / 5 years (MRCS
data, Tech Guide p.359-7). 89 x 1000 = 89,000 cu.ft. or 665,720 gallons sludge to remove every 5 years.
Based on NRCS Technical Guide data the PAN content will be I 1 lbs. / 1,000 gallons. This amounts to
7,323 lbs. PAN to land apply. Applying PAN at a rate of 200 lbs./acre will require approximately 37 acres
of Fescue. Actual acreage needed will be determined by soil test analysis and analysis of the sludge
and applying at agronomic rate for realistic crop yields.
It is very important to remove the accumulated sludge so that adequate treatment volume in the lagoon can
be maintained.
Fields 11,12,13,14 (Tract 3007) , are listed as usable for both land application of sludge and spray
irrigation. The operator is responsible for deciding when to utilize the fields for which purpose. In no
situation is it allowable to overapply PAN to any field.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct
application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches
surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of 510,000 per
day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long
term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate
land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample
enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for
waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of
the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation,
increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based
on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there
are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative
Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per
year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in
addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390
(Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.]
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be
applied when the wind is blowing.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on
conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be
broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and
Climate in North Carolina in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not
occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during
application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide
uniformity of application..
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is
frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 20 to 25
percent of the leaf area is covered.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high
potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a
suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30
days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil.
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced
for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See Standard 393 -
Filter Strips)
12. Animal waste shall not he applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by.the
landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a discharge or
by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been
approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on
grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and only then at agronomic rates provided the
application causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be
discharged into the animal waste management system.
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level
to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory
freeboard.
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon
embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and
shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody
species, etc. are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and
accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or
discharge.
19. If animal production at.the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge,
pollution and erosion.
20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent
breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: Massey Creek Farms - Garland McCollum
Location: 210 Massey Creek Rd., Madison, NC 27025
Telephone: 910427-7030
Type Operation: 1000 head swine -Farrow to feeder
Number of Animals: 1000 sows
(Design Capacity)
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface
and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of
commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste
utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application
cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic
yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the
fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always
apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not
apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.. Normally
waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special
precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste
on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result
in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be
considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop
production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or
applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will
conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of
facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management
facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of
waste samples to the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.
Amount of Waste Produced Per Year(gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
1,000 animals X 3,861 gallons (amt.) waste/animat/year=3,861,000 (amt.) wastelyear.
Amount of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) Produced Per Year
1,000 animals X 6.5 lbs. PAN/animal/year = 6,500 lbs. PAN/year. (PAN from N. C. Tech. Guide Std.
633)
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment
to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown and surface
application:

THIS TABLE IS NOT NEEDED IF WASTE IS NOT BEING APPLIED BY IRRIGATION, HOWEVER
A SIMILAR TABLE WILL BE NEEDED FOR DRY LITTER OR SLURRY.
Your facility is designed for 90 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on
the average of once every _3 MONTHS, In no instance should the volume of waste being stored
in your structure exceed Elevation _93.9
Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil and
Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining
the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.
Narrative of Operation: Owner will apply waste to the above fields using irrigation as specified in the
Irrigation Plans developed by Environmental Engineering Services of Jackson Springs, NC.
Areas that are not effectively covered by irrigation can be utilized with surface spreading equipment.
This equipment should be calibrated properly and the same level of care should be exercised when
applying waste in this manner. All buffers listed in the irrigation plan apply regardless of the method
used in applying the waste.
Sludge will accumulate in the first stage lagoon at a rate of 89 cuft per active sow unit / 5 years (NRCS
data, Tech Guide p.359-7). 89 x 1000 = 89,000 cu.fi. or 665,720 gallons sludge to remove every 5
years. Based on NRCS Technical Guide data the PAN content will be 11 lbs. / 1,000 gallons. This
amounts to 7,323 lbs. PAN to land apply. Applying PAN at a rate of 200 lbs./acre will require
approximately 37 acres of Fescue. Actual acreage needed will be determined by soil test analysis and
analysis of the sludge and applying at agronomic rate for realistic crop yields.
It is very important to remove the accumulated sludge so that adequate treatment volume in the lagoon
can be maintained.
Fields 11,12,13,14 (Tract 3007) , are listed as usable for both land application of sludge and spray
irrigation. The operator is responsible for deciding when to utilize the fields for which purpose. In no
situation is it allowable to overapply PAN to any field.

MASSEY CREEK FARMS - IRRIGATION
Try to avoid large rapid liquid level kections inside the lagoon. Always observe the
inside dam sides for possible liner sloughing during rapid liquid draw -downs. Repair
damaged lagoon liners immediately. Keep trash out of the lagoon since it tends to foul
pump intakes, pipes, and nozzles.
Irrigation pump intakes should be a minimum of 18 inches below the lagoon liquid surfaces.
Any irrigation pump and irrigation nozzles should be designed to pump at least some solids.
Odor Control When Irrigating
Note: Much of this document text and exhibits are directly or indirectly related to odor
control. Likewise, common sense plays a very important part of any odor control program.
The below list of items is not intended to be all inclusive and relates mostly to irrigation.
Take extreme care to select optimum conditions for spray irrigation and sludge removal
events. Careful planing will help minimize odors. Irrigate wastewater in dry warm weather
if possible, preferably before 12 noon. Avoid weekend and holiday irrigation unless
absolutely necessary.
Avoid unnecessary agitation of the lagoon when not irrigating. Provide a way to allow
water to flow into the lagoon in a gentle fashion instead of splashing or cascading. Inlet
piping shall be placed below water surface as long as the water inside the houses will drain
out fully. Use temporary flexible drainage pipe if necessary to transfer water toward the
bottom of the lagoon.
In North Carolina prevailing winds blow from the southwest toward the northeast. Plant or
maintain trees on the west and southwest side of the farm to act as a wind break. Plant
trees between irrigation fields and neighbors or public highways. Avoid spraying on windy
days or when the wind is blowing toward nearby neighbors.
Good housekeeping, weed and grass control, insect control, carcass disposal, and trash
pick-up are all required in order to be a good neighbor. Additional information on odor
control should be included as part of the farm's overall waste management plan.
On -Farm Wastewater Production
Anaerobic lagoons breakdown solids and nutrients in raw swine effluent. The microbes in
the anaerobic process consume some nutrients in their metabolism and help reduce the
nutrient value of the raw manure. Swine effluent contains considerable nitrogen as well as
other nutrients such as phosphorous and potassium. In addition the effluent contains many
micro nutrients such as copper, calcium, zinc, etc. Currently only nitrogen is considered as
the limiting nutrient factor for the land application of swine effluent, but in the future other
nutrients may become the limiting components. Below the reader will find estimated liquid
volumes expected to be produced by the hogs. The Plant Available Nitrogen or P.A.N.
limitations for the spraying of wastewater are not being emphasized in this document but
should be addressed in the farm's waste utilization plan. The engineer assumes that
E
MASSEY CREEK FARMS - IRRIGATION PLANS
the fields or spots which tend to stay wet. Keep good vegetative buffers between irrigated
fields and the creek.
All of the fields at Massey Creek Farms pose unique challenges for irrigation. The steep
rolling terrain, valley channels and the close proximity to creeks requires the farmer to pay
particular attention to run off and weather forecasts. Hot and dry weather may allow
increased irrigation volumes and frequencies but caution must always be used to prevent a
discharge to the creeks. The engineer would recommend very limited irrigation or no
irrigation in grass water ways, stormwater channels, and near downslope grass buffers.
The irrigation power unit must have a high/low pressure cut off switch installed that will
quickly stop irrigation should there be a sudden pressure fluctuation (e.g. a burst pipe).
The farmer shall test this switch routinely to make sure it works. The engineer would
recommend a monthly test as a minimum.
The operator of an agricultural irrigation system for wastewater must be certified.
Certification details are not discussed within this document but more information on the
irrigation operators certification program can be obtained by calling the N.C. Division of
Soil and Water Conservation at (919) 733-2302.
GENERAL EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN
Animal wastes can not impact the surface waters of North Carolina. In the event of an
emergency, Garland McCullum and/or the farm manager shall take the necessary measures
to minimize the impact of the emergency. An emergency may be effluent overflow out of a
lagoon, a dam failure, severe run-off of soil and nutrients due to a storm, a broken pipe etc.
As a minimum the following shall be done:
1. Take the necessary measures to safeguard lives.
2. Stop the discharge ASAP. Temporary measures are acceptable in an emergency. Cut off
the irrigation pump if necessary. Keep the effluent out of surface waters.
3. Get a contractor to the site to contain the discharge on a more permanent basis. Do not
wait for contractor to arrive before getting more help if needed.
4. Notify all of these persons listed below (as needed).
5. Develop an agreement with a local earth moving contractor who has equipment that can
be on -site within hours in the event of an emergency. This shall be a standing agreement
between Massey Creek Farms and the contractor. In an emergency notify the contractor of
the situation and specify the type of equipment needed.
6. Reduce the impact of the problem if at all possible. This can be done by diverting
problem flows, putting up hay bales or silt fencing, installing temporary earthen dams with
farm equipment, and/or pump excess water to other holding areas. Irrigating during rainfall
events is better than allowing a lagoon dam to fail in an emergency, but notify DWQ first.
7. Notify DWQ officials within 24 hours of the problem (sooner is better).
8. Notify local authorities if lives or property are threatened.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances,
direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which
reaches surface water is prohibited Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of
$10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has
long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own
adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement
(sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the
land for waste application for die life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the
owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the
operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to moot, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields
based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless
there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an
Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons
per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips
will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. (Sce FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard
390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.]
5. Odors can be reduced by igjecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be
applied when the wind is blowing.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on
conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be
broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and
Climate in North Carolina" in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not
occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during
application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies and
provide uniformity of application..
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is
frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 20 to 25
percent of the leaf area is covered.
I0. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high
potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a
suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30.
days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced
for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filler strips are present. (See Standard 393
- Filter Strips)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the
landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manna not to reach other property and public right-of-ways
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainagaways or wetlands by a discharge or
by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted Artlands provided they have been
approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist'. Animal waste should not be applied on
grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and only then at agronomic rates provided
the application causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be
discharged into the animal waste management system.
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating
level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to the one (1) foot
mandatory freeboard.
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon
embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these area and
shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody
species, etc. are limited to areas where considered appropriate Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and
accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or
discharge.
19, If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge,
pollution and erosion.
20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to
prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site,

The purpose of this plan is to provide guidelines for carrying out
the routine operation and maintenance work needed to keep this swine
waste management system functioning as planned. Routine maintenance
is considered to be normal good care of the system. Good
maintenance adds to beauty, usefulness, and per-manence.
A. Maintenance
The routine maintenance of the lagoon involves the following:
1. Maintenance of a vegetative cover on the embankment top and
side slopes: k.. ts..r� sl -r- r"%L is
being established on t e.se areas. Beginning in 199R and
each year thereafter, the embankment should be fertilized
with 800 nounds'of 10-10-10 per acre to maintain a vigorous
stand.
2. Control of brush and trees on the embankment. This may be
done by mowing, spraying, or chopping, or a combination of
all three. This will need to be done at least once each
.year and possibly twice in years favorable to heavy growth
of vegetation.
Maintenance inspections of the lagoon should be made during the
initial fIlling of the lagoon and at least monthly. Items to be
checked should include, as a minimum, the following:
1. waste inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes
a. separation of joints
b. cracks or breaks
c. accumulation of salts or minerals
d. overall condition of pipes
2. Lagoon surface
a. undesirable vegetative growth
b. floating or lodged debris
3. Embankment
a. settlement, cracking or "jug" holes
b. side slope stability - slumps or bulees
C. wet or damn areas on the back slcne
d. erosion due to lack of vegetation cr as a result of
wave action
e. rodent damage

Your animal waste management facility was designed for a
total of _/000 sows/animals (E.rpw to �eo'e%
Tins tem
)
The lagoon Contaboth permanent and oorary'storage.
The permanent storage is not to be pumped in order to ensure
that anaerobic action will occur. The design storage
includes permanent storage of one zu'eic Coot per pound of
steady state live weight.
The temporary storage portion of the lagoon includes
capacity for the volume of waste produced over 180 days, the
amount of rainfall in a 25 year 24 hour storm event plus an
additional "heavy rain" fatter, and rainfall in excess of
evaporation. Your facility is designed for 180 days of
temporary storage; therefore, it will need to be pumped
every six months. Begin ump-out cf the lagoon when fluid
level reaches elevation jj.q _ as marked by permanent
markers. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches
elevation 91?) Pumping can be started or stopped at any
time hatween gnaw two elevations for operating convenience
as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and
ecuipmant in order to apply waste without runoff or
leaching.
The attached waste management plan must be followed. This
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste. (see -
Attachment B) before land application. The vast= materia_
should be analyzed before each application cycle to
determine its nutrient content. :, soil test of the area o:
applicationshould be made annually to insure the waste is
aotiied as reasonably and practically possible to
reccmmanded rates.
Waste treatment lagoons must be prac'I_rged wit_ a volume of
water egual to one-half of the vcl'u a before
wastes are introduced. Precharginc rsduces =:^.a
concentration of the initial waste e-=drinC the lagoon
there?v reducing odors. Solids :.a covered with
effluent at all times.

After five years the waste treatment lagoon must be checked
for sludge accumulation annually. If sludge has encroached
into the treatment volume, the sludge must be removed and
applied at agronomic rates based on analysis of the sludge.
Treatment volume must have a minimum c" 4 feet of depth free
of sludge at all times.
In December.1992, the Environmental Management Commission
(EMC) in North Carolina revised water cuaiity regulations
that address animal operations. These -rules became
effective cn February 1, 1993 (13A NCAC 2z .0200). This
animal operation shall be operated within the requirements
cf thaw rules and regulations.

Re: request for additional Information
Mr. Joshl:
1 have enclosed additional copies of our odor management checklist. This should satisfy hem one In your
10/21/98 request.
As for Rem two, concerning application windows for Irrigation and sludge utilization, I will request that my
local soil conservationist review the times or sludge application. In reference to irrigation applications, I
believe I will be able to utilize fescue within the constraints of a Wday storage capacity. Information
from technical bulletin #305 of the NCARS, describes the growth curve of pure stands of fescue as
follows:
Growth exceeding 20lbs./screlday occur between Feb. 7 and May 25 and again Sept. 1 through Dec. 1.
application winde 26) The ow prior o growl seemingly emintime between pty wlllll work whhln our ed to be
needs.
about 100 days. Utilizing the 30-0ay
Table 4 (copy included) was provided by Kevin Moore, the conservationist that developed my plan, also
Indicates that nitrogen may be applied at varying rates throughout the year. Using the application window
of September through April would loose the months of May and August which are indicated to be months
In which fescue would utilize a relatively large amount of nitrogen.
Additionally, it has been my experience that I can retard the summer dormancy of fescue In my area by
continuing irrigation applications Into June. it has been my experience that as long as fescue in this area
has adequate water and nitrogen, it will continue to grow throughout the summer. I also have seen that if
I do not Irrigate during this time, the fescue will go dormant and further applications will not break that
dormancy before late Aug./eady Sept.
This has been the first year that I have been able to make full use of my waste management plan as a
resuh of Installation of a new Irrigation system. I have been very pleased with the results of following this
plan and for the first time, I am able to look on my lagoon as a valuable asset as opposed to a liability. I
have adequate land for application and am adding more at this time. I foresee a time when I will be
wishing I had more effluent to apply. I would not have foreseen this 3 years ago.
I hope that this dears up our intended operational plans. If there are more questions, I will be glad to
address them.
Thank you,

Non -Discharge Pamiittmg
Enclosed please find a revised waste utilization plan for Massey Creek Farm (facility number
79-2) located in Rockingham County. The revision is due to the change in the type of
operation. The change is from a farrow to feeder to a farrow to weanling operation. There is
no change in steady state live weight or any other aspect of the operation. I did include
information pertaining to grazing the application fields however. he is not grazing at this time.
There is also new ground currently being vegetated and I will revise and include again when
final acreage is known.'
Let me know if you need anything father.

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

Amount of Waste Produced Per Year(gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
1,205 animals X 3,203 gallons (amt.) waste/animal/year=3,859,615 (amt.) waste/year.
Amount of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) Produced Per Year
1,205 animals X 5.4 lbs. PAN/animal/year = 6,507 lbs. PAN/year. (PAN from N. C. Tech. Guide Std.

Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to
apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown and surface

THIS TABLE IS NOT NEEDED IF WASTE IS NOT BEING APPLIED BY IRRIGATION, HOWEVER
A SIMILAR TABLE WILL BE NEEDED FOR DRY LITTER OR SLURRY.
Your facility is designed for 90 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on
the average of once every _3_MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in
your structure exceed Elevation 94.3 (This elevation changed as per information provided by USDA -
NRCS Engineering).
Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil and
Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining
the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.
Narrative of Operation: Owner will apply waste to the above fields using irrigation as specified in the
Irrigation Plans developed by Environmental Engineering Services of Jackson Springs, NC.
Areas that are not effectively covered by irrigation can be utilized with surface spreading equipment.
This equipment should be calibrated properly and the same level of care should be exercised when applying
waste in this manner. All buffers listed in the irrigation plan apply regardless of the method used in
applying the waste.
Owner may graze the application fields — BUT nitrogen rates must be reduced by 25% If all fields listed in
Table I are grazed the total pounds of PAN that can be applied are 6,753. This still results in a deficit of
nitrogen for the cropping system. .
Sludge will accumulate in the first stage lagoon at a rate of 89 cu.ft. per active sow unit / 5 years (NRCS
data, Tech Guide p.359-7). 89 x 1000 = 89,000 cu.ft. or 665,720 gallons sludge to remove every 5 years.
Based on NRCS Technical Guide data the PAN content will be I I lbs. / 1,000 gallons. This amounts to
7,323 lbs. PAN to land apply. Applying PAN at a rate of 200 lbs./acre will require approximately 37 acres
of Fescue. Actual acreage needed will be determined by soil test analysis and analysis of the sludge
and applying at agronomic rate for realistic crop yields.
It is very important to remove the accumulated sludge so that adequate treatment volume in the lagoon can
be maintained.
Fields 11,12,13,14 (Tract 3007) , are listed as usable for both land application of sludge and spray
irrigation. The operator is responsible for deciding when to utilize the fields for which purpose. In no
situation is it allowable to overapply PAN to any field.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct
application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches
surface water is prohibited.` Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per
day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long
term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate
land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample
enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for
waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of
the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation,
increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based
on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there
are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative
Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per
year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in
addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390
(Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.]
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be
applied when the wind is blowing.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to Flooding, it will be soil incorporated on
conventionally tilled cropland. When applied, to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be
broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to Flooding. (See "Weather and
Climate in North Carolina in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not
occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during
application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or Flies and provide
uniformity of application..
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is
frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 20 to 25
percent of the leaf area is covered.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high
potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a
suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30
days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil.
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced
for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See Standard 393 -
Filter Strips)
12. Animal waste shall notbe applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the
landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a discharge or
by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been
approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on
grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and only then at agronomic rates provided the
application causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be
discharged into the animal waste management system.
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level
to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory
freeboard.
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon
embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and
shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody
species, etc. are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and
accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or
discharge.
19. If animal production at.the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge,
pollution and erosion.
20, Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent
breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site.
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEMENT
Name of Farm: Massey Creek Farms
Owner/Manager Agreement
I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specification and the operation and maintenance
procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above. 1 (we)
know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and storage system or
construction of new facilities will require a new certification to be submitted to the Division of Environment
Management (DEM) before the new animals are stocked. I (we) also understand that there must be no
discharge of animal waste from this system to surface wasters of the state from a storm event less severe
than the 25-year, 24-hour storm. The approved plan will be filed on -site at the farm office and at the office
of the local Soil and Water Conservation District and will be available for review by DEM upon request.
