Calculation W*Sheet — Ammonia and Hydrogetulfide Emissions
Swine Operations — Confinement with liquid manure management systems
KEEP THIS WORKSHEET FOR YOUR RECORDS -DO NOT SUBMIT WITH YOUR REPORT
The final rule on EPCRA reporting issued by EPA on December 18, 2008 and effective January 20, 2009 requires
reporting of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide emissions if the swine facility has 2500 or more swine over 55 pounds, or
10,000 swine under 55 pounds; and the ammonia exceeds 100 Ibs/day or the hydrogen sulfide exceeds 100 Ibs/day. If
the ammonia or hydrogen sulfide is less than 100 Ibs/day, enter "N/A" in the appropriate cell in the reporting form.
Swine Facility Name: 1� I ( -by\4 66�cr-'\ Date: S
The emissions estimates are derived from research reported by:
Gay, S.W., D.R. Schmidt, C.J. Clanton, K.A. Janni, L.D.,Jacobson, S. Weisberg. 2003. Odor, Total Reduced Sulfur and
Ammonia Emissions from Animal Housing Facilities and Manure Storage Units in Minnesota. Applied Engineering in

Subject: Hilltop Farm report
The Hilltop report for the Oct. 15 application is actually in the PALS report, but they often
mistakenly put it under Applefield.....
It is report WWO01876 under Applefield.
It is actually the Hilltop Farm, and the address and farm number are correct, just the
Applefield. This makes it almost impossible to find it if you are familiar with Jerry.

Hilltop Farm Waste Plan
Robin,
I met with Jason Byrd and Jerry yesterday to start the process of updating Hilltop Farms Waste plan. I am converting the
operation type to a feeder to finish operation at 3656 pigs which will keep the SSLW the same as the current permitted
amount. A couple questions that I had for you are, Is the most recent waste plan for Hilltop dated 6-27-2006? This is the
latest copy of a waste plan that I have and in it, it limits the amount of PAN to soybeans to 20lbs/a and the RYE and PAN
rates for wheat grain are both indicated as user defined values allowing for a higher PAN rate per acre. Do you happen to
have any knowledge of the rationale behind this?

The Division of Water Resources (Division) received your sludge survey information on
December 18, 2015. With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey
requirement for the two lagoons at the Hill Top Farm facility. Due to the amount of treatment
volume available, the Division agrees that a sludge survey is not needed until 2019 for your
lagoons.
The next sludge survey for the lagoons at this facility should be performed before December 31,
2019.
Please call me at [phone] if you have any questions.

Good morning Melissa
I have attached the lagoon sludge reports following the sludge cleanout at Hilltop Farm (79-
03). I wanted to get with Jerry, but he is requesting a waiver of the measuring the sludge for
the near future based on the low levels of sludge.
I didn't know to whom I should send this, but the 2 lagoon reports are attached.

Appendix 3. Workshoet for sludge volume and treatment volume IRevised August 2008
The average thickness of the sludge layer and the thickness of the existing liquid (sludge -free) treatment zone are determined
from the information on the Lagoon Sludge Survey Form ( Items O and P, respectively). In this example, the average sludge
layer thickness is 2.5 feet and the existing liquid treatment zone is 3.5 feet. If the lagoon has a designed sludge storage volum,
see notes at end of the worksheet. The dimensions of the lagoon as measured and the side slope are needed
for calculations of sludge volume and of total treatment volume. If the lagoon is a standard geometric shape, the sludge
volume and the treatment volume in the lagoon can be estimated by using standard equations. For approximate volumes
of rectangular lagoons with constant side slope, calculate length and wldth at the midpoint of the layer, and multiply by layer
thickness to calculate layer volume, as shown in the example. For irregular shapes, convert the total surface area to a square
or rectangular shape. For exact volumes for lagoons with constant side slope, the "Ptismoidal Equations" may be used'.

If the ratio R exceeds 0.50, than a sludge Plan of Action may be required. Check with DWQ for information
on filing the Plan of Action.
Note: If the lagoon has a designed sludge storage volume (DSSV), subtract that volume from both the volume
of sludge (Vs) (item 8) and from the volume of total treatment zone (Vz) (Item 14), and take the ratio.
Then, R = (Vs-DSSV) / (Vz - DSSV)
Example: If DSSV = 85,000 fts, then R = (169,860 - 85,000)1(447,174 - 85,000) = 84,860 / 362,174 = 0.24.

from the information on the Lagoon Sludge Survey Form ( Items O and P, respectively). In this example, the average sludge
layer thickness is 2.5 feet and the existing liquid treatment zone is 3.5 feet. If the lagoon has a designed sludge storage volum,
see notes at end of theworksheet. The dimensions of the lagoon as measured and the side slope are needed
for calculations of sludge volume and of total treatment volume. If the lagoon is a standard geometric shape, the sludge
volume and the treatment volume in the lagoon can be estimated by using standard equations. For approximate volumes
of rectangular lagoons with constant side slope, calculate length and width at the midpoint of the. layer, and multiply by layer
thickness to calculate layer volume, as shown in the example. For irregular shapes, convert the total surface area to a square
or rectangular shape. For exact volumes for lagoons with constant side slope, the "Prismoidal Equations" may be used.
1. Average sludge Layer Thickness (T)
2. Depth of the lagoon from top of bank to bottom soil surface (D)
3. Slope = Horizontal/ vertical side slope (S)
4. Length at the top of inside bank (L)
5. Width at top inside slope (W)
6. Length at midpoint of sludge layer L,,,= L-2S(D-(T/2))
7. Width at midpoint of sludge layer Wm W-2S(D-(T/2))
8. Volume of sludge (Vs) Vs=L, Wm T
9. Volume in gallons: Vs9 V•7.5 gal./ft3.
10. Thickness of existing liquid tmt. zone(Y)
11. Thickness of total treatment zone (Z) Z= T+Y
12. Length at midpoint of total tmt. zone L,= L-2(S)(D-(Z/2)
13. Widthat midpoint of total tmt.,Zone W, = W-2(S)(D-(Z/2)
14. Volume of total treatment zone (Vz) Vz = L, WIZ
15. Ratio ( R ) of sludge layer volume to total Treatment Volume
R = VsNz

If the ratio R exceeds 0.50, thama sludge Plan of Action may be required. Check with DWQ for information
on filing the Plan of Action.
Note: If the lagoon has a designed sludge storage volume (DSSV), subtract that volume from both the volume
of sludge (Vs) (item 8) and from the volume of total treatment zone (Vz) (Item 14), and take the ratio.
Then, R.= (Vs-DSSV) / (Vz - DSSV)
Example: If DSSV = 85,000 ft', then R = (169,860 - 85.000) / (447,174 - 85,000) = 84,860 / 362,174 = 0.24.

Append&. 3. Worksheet for sludge 10me and treatment volume Revi• August 2008 "
The average thickness of the sludge layer and the thickness of the existing liquid (sludge -free) treatment zone are determined
from the information on the Lagoon Sludge Survey Form ( Items O and P,respectively). In this example, the average sludge
layer thickness is 2.5 feet and the existing liquid treatment zone is 3.5 feet. If thelagoon has a designed sludge storage volume,
see notes at end of the worksheet The dimensions of the lagoon as measured and the side slope are needed
for calculations of sludge volume and of total treatment volume. It the lagoon is a standardgeometric shape, the sludge
volume and the treatmentvolume in the lagoon can be estimated by using standard equations. For approximate volumes
of rectangular lagoons with constant side slope, calculate length and width.at themidpointof the layer, and multiplyby layer
thickness to calculate layer volume, as shown in the example. For irregular shapes, convert the total surface area to a square
or rectangular shape. For exact volumes for lagoons with constant side slope, the "Prismoidal Equations' may be used.

Note: if the: lagoon has a designed sludge storagevolume(DSSV), subtract that volume from both the volume
of sludge (Vs) (Item 8) and from the volume of total treatment zone (Vz) (Item 14), and take the ratio.
Then, R = (Vs-DSSV) / (Vz - DSSV)
Example:. If DSSV = 85,000 ft3, then R = (169,860 - 85,000) / (447,174 - 85,000) = 84,860 / 362,174 = 0.24.

I can certainly hold off on sending an NOV if he/you will complete the attached POA form within 90 days from the
time of the inspection. Would that help?

Sorry, I didn't respond to email. If Jerry documents that he is working with Kevin, and documents that he is moving
foward with soil and waste samples - and documents that Kevin is working on plan and he swears that he will do
application as soon as corn pan allows- could you get him some sort of waiver?

Robin,
In checking the permit, Jerry's PDA for the upper lagoon is due 90 days from the time the sludge level was determined
to be out of compliance (I think the survey date was Jan. 2013?). If in fact it was Jan. 2013, then technically he is in
violation with regard to the POA. Per the permit, Jerry has two (2) years from the date of the sludge survey Q hod
incorrectly told you end of permit cycle) to bring the sludge level down to compliant levels. All of this can be found in
Permit Condition 111.19.
Let me know if you have questions or concerns!

SUBJECT: Notice of Violation — Permit Condition Violations
NOV-2010-PC-0662
Permit Number: AWS790003
Rockingham County
Dear Mr. Apple:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
This Notice is to follow-up on a routine, announced, Compliance Inspection conducted by Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) staff on April 20, 2010. Our inspection documented several violations and concerns that
warrant your immediate attention and action. A "final copy" of the inspection report is attached for your review.
The Swine Waste Management General Permit issued to Hill Top Farm requires a representative
Standard Soil Fertility Analysis (soil test) be conducted annually (Section Ill. 4.). A review of the animal waste
management records for 2009 indicates that a soil test was not completed as expected. Failure to maintain
requisite records is a violation of the Swine Waste Management General Permit. A reminder that, a soil
test must be obtained by December 31, 2010 for any fields which have received animal waste this year.
DWQ staff also observed that the waste irrigation nozzles had no pressure gauge with which to
determine accurate application pressure. Failure to properly maintain waste application equipment is also
a violation of the General Permit (Section 11. 1.). Please note that, the issue regarding the missing pressure
gauge was described in the 2009 inspection report as well. A pressure gauge must, therefore, be installed
prior to the next waste application event.
Additionally, DWQ staff could not locate a copy of the farm's Certificate of Coverage (COC) or General
Permit for review during the inspection. Again, the failure to maintain a copy of the General Permit and COC
is a violation of Section 111.11. of the permit.
It was also noted that the acreages stated in the waste plan do not match those in the irrigation design.
It is suggested that the waste plan be revised to include the acreage within an application area by "pulls" rather
than by "field." You may wish to contact a technical specialist with the Rockingham SWCD/NRCS for assistance
with this matter. Their office number is [phone]. Please be reminded that this discrepancy was also
noted during the 2009 Compliance Inspection.

And lastly, staff observed that the maintenance of vegetation on a part of the dam between the upper
and lower lagoons -was greatly -improved over last year. However, this issue has been mentioned in every
compliance inspection report since 2005. Be reminded, that the failure to establish and maintain a
protective vegetative cover on the embankment constitutes a violation of Section II. 12. of the General
Permit. Our office strongly recommends that you continue efforts to mow and/or spray weedy vegetation on the
embankment in question.
The Division of Water Quality requires that the violations detailed in this letter be abated immediately.
These violations, and any future violations, are subject to a civil penalty assessment of up to $25,000 per day,
per each violation. A written response is expected within thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter, indicating the
actions you are taking (or have taken) to permanently correct the animal waste management violations and
concerns described above. Please direct your response to my attention at the address contained in this
letterhead.
. Your prompt attention to the violations and concerns described in this letter is greatly appreciated. If
you have any questions concerning this Notice please contact me, or Ms. Melissa Rosebrock, at (336) 771-

Hey Melissa,
Hilltop Farm's callibration that he had on the farm was for another reel. He let a company come
in and do his calibrations as a special offer or something. I have been very sick for a couple of
weeks (flu and then setback) Jerry said that he will send me all of the calibrations so that I can
send you the corrected one.
Also, did you email Kevin about the sludge cleanout.
Thank you

Hey folks,
Just wanted to let you all know that a letter and application will be mailed from DWQ (Raleigh)
starting next week to those owners/farmers that currently have a State General Permit that
expires September 2009 (about 98% of my farms). The general permits are on a five year cycle
and must be renewed to continue operation of the animal waste management system ---and 2009
is the end/start of the next cycle.
I've attached the Application and a Fact Sheet listing the changes to occur in the new permit. The
email below also provides a link to a full copy of the new permit.
As always, please call me if you have questions or need assistance.

Appendix 3. Sludge Volume Worksheet
The average thickness of the sludge layer is determined from information on the Lagoon Sludge
Survey Form. In this example, the average sludge layer thickness is 2.5 feet. The dimensions of
the lagoon and the side slope are needed for calculations. If the lagoon is a standard geometric
shape, the volume of sludge in the lagoon can then be estimated by using standard equations. For
rectangular lagoons and constant side slope, calculate length and width at the midpoint of the
sludge layer, and multiply by sludge layer thickness to calculate sludge layer volume, as shown
in the example. For irregular shapes, convert the total surface area to a square shape.

Appendix 3. Sludge Volume WorksheeL
The average this of the sludge layer is determined from infomxation on the lagoon Sludge
Survey Form. in this example, the average sludge layer thickness is 2.5 feet. The dimensions of
the lagoon and the side slope are needed for calculations_ If the lagoon is a standard geometric
shape, the volume of sludge in the lagoon can then be estimated by using standard equations. For
rectangular lagoons and constant side slope, calculate length and width at the midpoint of the
sludge layer, and multiply by sludge layer thickness to calculate sludge layer volume, as shown in
the example. For irregular shapes, convert the total surface area to a square shape.
A. Average Sludge Layer Thickness (I)
B. Depth of lagoon from top of bank
to bottom soil surface (D)
C. Slope = horizontal/vertical side slope (S)
D. Length at top inside bank (L)
E. Width at top inside bank (W)
F. Length at midpoint of sludge layer
L — L — 2 S (D- (T/2))
G. Width at midpoint of sludge layer

Tf you are unsure how the sludge will be removed, take a sample of sludge only and a sample of the
sludge/liquid entire core, label them separately, and have berth analyzed.
For more information on preparing samples for analysis, consult Sludgq.9p agcment & Closurg

Appendix 3. Sludge Volume Workchect. Ica
The average thickness of the sludge layer is determined from information on the Lagoon Sludge
Survey Form. In this example, the average sludge layer thickness is 2.5 feet. The dimensions of the
lagoon and the side slope are needed for calculations. If the lagoon is a standard geometric shape, the
volume of sludge in the lagoon can then be estimated by using standard equations. For rectangular
lagoons and constant side slope, calculate length and width at the midpoint of the sludge layer, and
multiply by sludge layer thickness to calculate sludge layer volume, as shown in the example. For
irregular shapes, convert the total surface area to a square shape.

March 9, 2006
This letter is in regards to i ny visit to your farm to evaluate the 2 swine lagoons on
your operation that you ha J asked for assistance on. At present the pipe from lagoon
one to second stage lagoc n is not functioning.
Your present method of ddressing this problem is by pumping liquid from lagoon
#1 and recirculating this through the barns as flush water and then discharging to
lagoon #2. This is an acceptable method to address this situation.
I feel as a precaution I would recommend that you install a 4 'replacement
overflow system at themaximum liquid level for the lagoon#1 to lagoon #2.
Please refer to the enclosed drawing for instillation. Please contact the local Soil
and Water Conservation 3ffice for assistance installing the practice.
Sincerely,
Michael Fisher

Dear Mr. Apple
Thank you for the data submitted March 19, 2004 on your behalf by Ms. Robin Cox in
response to our March 2, 2004 letter requesting additional information. Additional information
was requested by this office in order to complete our review of the animal waste records at your
facility in Rockingham County. In reviewing the additional information we noted a final issue
that needs clarification.
The waste sample report #W05452 (dated 1/21/04) is labeled both Applefield and
Rockingham County. For which facility is this document attributable? The response letter
submitted by Ms. Cox states that "The Apple field farm recently sent in 2 waste samples that
showed Rockingham County on the form ... that sample is for Randolph County." CT.}iis_wouldl
dead_me_to_believe that the above report is indeed for y_our-facility_in-Randolph.-CountyJPlease
indicate if this is so.
Your response is expected within five (5) days of receipt of this letter. Please address
your reply to my attention at the address shown on the letterhead. Should you have any questions
you may reach me at [phone].

Dear Melissa,
Thank you for allowing Jerry a few days leniency on returning the information to you. I
have spoken with Jerry over the last week to verify the reports which are questioned. As
your letter states the reports listed for Apple field in Randolph County are for that farm
76-03: soil tests 7/19/02 & 12/10/03. Also all of those waste analysis reports are correct:
7/3/03, 9/15/03, 9/11/03, and 11/20/03. Likewise the reports listed that are attributable
to Hilltop in Rockingham are also correct: Farm 79-03: soil 5,23,03 and 2/11/04. The
soil test dated 3/7/03 was not for this Hill Top Farm It was done on a firm in Guilford
County. I don't know how they got mixed up, but Jerry assures me that he did do a
sample last May on the hog farm, and maybe the lab just listed for the one he had done in
Guilford County.
Now, speaking of mix ups.... The7Applerfieldcfarm' �recentlyLsenrIff,2 wasteisamplcs anO— ,,.

because Ken Cox took that sample, and he doesn't even know where Jerry Apple's other

I believe that someone in the lab Just went tothe.first.Apple field they saw and that may

I hope this answers a few questions about Jerry Apple's soil and waste samples. You can
call me if you have any questions. Thanks for everything.

Thank you for your prompt reply to our January 28, 2004 "Notice of Violation" letter. It appears that
you have already addressed most of the concerns outlined in the Notice. However, while examining the "Soil
Test Report" forms you submitted to our office and the online NCDA waste and soil analysis data, we noted
some discrepancies that need to be clarified in order to complete our review.
The reports listed below were designated as either "Applefield" or "Randolph County" and are assumed
to be associated with Certificate of Coverage No. NCA276003 (NPDES General Permit NCA200000):
Soil Test Reports - #00915 (7/19/02) and #44889 (12/10/03)
Waste Analysis Reports - #W00131 (7/3 03), #W00346 (8/15/0A) #W02293 (9/11/03), and #W04256 (11/20/03)

An additional waste analysis report dated�1L21204_(#W05452) was incorrectly labeled both "Applefield"
and "Rockingham County." Please specify for which of your swine farms this waste analysis represents.

Your response letter also stated that the 3/7/03 soil test report (#201 4) was for Hill Top Farm in
Rockingham County rather than Guilford County (as was listed on the report form). According to the
information you submitted, soil test report #30539 (listed above) was also for Hill Top farm in Rockingham
County. Please explain why there are now two soil test reports for this same facility within the same year.
A reminder that a soil test analysis result must also be obtained for your "Applefield" farm in Randolph
County by December 31, 2004. As always, a waste analysis must be obtained within 60 days of any animal
waste application event.

Dear Mr. Tedder,

Jerry Apple
5403 Hwy 150 East
Browns Summit, NC 27214
February 4, 2004
I writing this letter in response to the NOV issued on my farm, Hilltop Farm (79-03) in
Rockingham County. I am asking for leniency on both violations. I recognize the
seriousness of this situation and I assure you that I do have explanations for both ....
I have a person who keeps my records, and there was simply a misunderstanding about
the soil samples. I swear that I have taken soil samples on the sites at Hilltop Farm and
sent them into Raleigh. In fact, I have taken them to Raleigh myself. I did not look at the
address on the samples when they returned, only the soil analysis itself. I assumed that
the person who kept my records pulled the records off the internet, just as she does with
the waste analysis that I send in. I did not realize that the lab in Raleigh was assigning
my soil to a Guilford County Farm. This is not the case, and while I recognize that I
should have been more careful with checking to make sure that I was credited with those
samples, I swear that I got those samples from Hilltop Farm. You can see that I enclosed
samples dated.
Concerning the violation concerning my not having the current Certificate of Coverage, I
assure you that I did not receive my current Certificate in the mail. You can see that I did
pay for it, but did not receive it. Do these letters come by certified mail? Melissa
Rothrock faxed Robin Cox, my record keeper a copy and now I have one. I will
immediately put it on the farm. I have been told by other farmers that they did not receive
their new permits and that they had to get copies after their inspection. In fact, we called
Raleigh last year when the large farms had to fall under new regulations and they told us
that smaller farm permits were put off for a while. That is why I did not worry when I
did not get mine. I believed that Raleigh would send them out when they got them all
ready.
Concerning the 1999 Waste Management Plan, when I tried to get that from the
Rockingham County Soil and Water, they did not have a copy either, so it seems that
Melissa Rothrock is the only one who received a copy of that. The NOV makes it sound
as if we are operating on no Waste Management Plan at all. That is not the case; we
simply did not have the updated one on site. The only difference at all is field, which I
needed to plant some tobacco in, 'so'Kevin updated the permit to read 27 acres instead of

a a
40. I made the adjustment on my maps, but did not get the paperwork myself from him.
Obviously, he sent it to Melissa Rothrock. We are being honest about where we apply
the waste. Since Rockingham County did not have one they could send us, Melissa
Rothrock is copying Robin Cox and she will send that in to you as soon as she receives it.
I have checked into the overflow pipe and have already repaired it. I have a new site plan
with wetable acres done by Mid Atlantic Irrigation (Lou Gilliam), and almost all of those
underground pipes are in. We will soon do a waste management plan that reflects this
new irrigation layout.
I am very sorry for any problems with my Hilltop Farm. I realize that I am guilty of
being less than diligent with working with Rockingham County and Raleigh concerning
Waste Management Plans and my permits, but I assure you that I am a good steward of
the land and my waste application. I hope that you can show me some leniency and I
promise that I will strive to do a better job in the future.
Thank you for any consideration you may give me.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT: Notice of V.io►ation/Notice'of Intent to Enforce
Compliance Inspection
Hill Top Farm, #79-3
Rockingham County.
t
Dear Mr. Apple:
This letter is to summarize the violations observed during a compliance inspection performed at
Hill Top Farm on January 22, 2004. Melissa Rosebrock, with the State's Division of Water Quality
Winston-Salem Regional Office (WSRO) conducted the announced inspection while Mr. Phillip Mullis
and Ms. Robin Cox were present as Hill Top Farm representatives. A "Final Notes" copy of the inspection
form is attached for your review. Ms. Rosebrock observed the following recordkeeping concerns and
violations that warrant your immediate attention and action:
1. Staff docWnEnted that soil analysis results were not obtained for any fields receiving animal
waste in 99 , 2002 or 2003. A review of your file also indicates that you were previously
cited for�aifure to obtain required soil analysis in 1999 (see March 20, 2000 DWQ NOV).
Failure to have complete records is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-
215.10C and the Swine Waste Operation General Permit (Section III, #3.).
2. A copy of the Certificate of Coverage (COC) and animal waste general permit could not be
located with the facility's animal waste records. A copy of the COC and permit must be kept
onsite at all times. Additionally, the most recent version of the Certified Animal Waste
Management Plan (CAWMP) dated 1999, needs to be obtained and kept onsite as well. You
may wish to contact the Rockingham County SWCD/NRCS at [phone] ext.3 for
assistance with the CAWMP. Failure to have a copy of these documents onsite is a
violation of Section I, #4 of the swine permit.
3. Our records also indicate that a wettable acre determination has not been completed for the
current irrigation design (hard -hose traveler) contained in the most recent Certified Animal
Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). Since you are currently in the process of installing a new
solid -set irrigation system, it is strongly suggested that you have the CAWMP revised now for
the solid -set system with the irrigation design based on effective acres.
4. The overflow pipe in the primary lagoon (upper) appears to be clogged. This pipe needs to be
cleaned -out immediately to overt a possible discharge situation in the future. ©.m

SUBJECT: Potential Water Quality Violations
Streambank Stabilization
Hill Top Farm
Rockingham County
Dear Mr. Apple:
It has come to our attention, from Ms. Melissa Rosebrock of this Office, that recent
streambank stabilization activities have occurred on your property. It is our concern that these
activities are conducted in compliance with the State's Water Quality Regulations, specifically
the Division's Section 401 Water Quality Certification Program and water quality standards,
such as turbidity and settleable solids. It is strongly recommended that you contact Mr. Kevin
Moore of the Rockingham County Soil and Water Conservation District, [phone], ext. 3,
for technical assistance and guidance.
Please respond to this Office, in writing, within 2 weeks of receipt of this letter, detailing
the streambank activities and your efforts to protect water quality. If it is determined that a
Section 401 Water Quality Certification is required, we will assist you in the necessary
procedures.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact Mrs. Jennifer Frye at
[phone], ext. 275.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 79-3
Rockingham County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
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, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLURI, 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.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the

Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System
Hill Top Farm
Facility Number 79-3
Rockingham County
A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal
Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only
the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any
acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your
plan.
An evaluation by Rocky Durham on 3/17/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your
facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of
the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X".
Category 1:
❑ The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please
contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Rocky Durham the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to Rocky Durham, at 585 Waughtown Street,
Winston-Salem, NC 27107, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any
questions please contact Rocky Durham at [phone]. If within 90 days you are
unable to provide Rocky Durham with the information you are automatically required
to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2 below, within
180 days of receipt of this letter.

Category 2:
Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal
waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates
set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him
or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must
be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct
Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension
Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special
designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this
designation, or a Professional Engineer.
All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and
the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWQ within the next
180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the
required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility
into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation,
and/or injunctive relief.
Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable
Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please
note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all
the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan
must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will
review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by
kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install
or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer
must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification.
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.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Sonya Avant of our

Dear Jerry Apple:
The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the
subject application. Additional information is required before we can continue our review. Please
address the following components by September 18, 1998:
1) The site maps that were submitted with the permit application do not contain the Field acreage's
listed in the Waste Utilization Plan (WUP). Please provide a map that includes this information.
2) The irrigation parameters listed in your WUP exceed current NRCS recommendations. 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. The application events listed in your
WUP appear to be out of the Sprinkler Irrigation Guide. The Application Amounts listed in this
guide have not been adjusted for the application of animal waste. NRCS currently recommends
that total application amounts not exceed one inch in any application event for any soil type. If
your application rates need to be adjusted for the application of animal waste, please have your
Technical Specialist revise your WUP to reflect the appropriate application amount per event. If
the rates will remain as written in the plan, please have your Technical Specialist justify the
increased application rate in the narrative of your WUP.
3) Please provide the application windows for the listed crops in the Waste Utilization Plan (WUP).
4) Your WUP states that both wheat and grass will be used as the receiving crops, but the grass is not
listed in the Table. Please include the grass crop in the Table and provide the application window
for this crop. In addition, please specify what type of grass crop it is.
5) If wheat is the major crop receiving the waste and the application window for wheat is usually from
October to March, what will be done during the summer months? Will there be enough temporary
storage in the lagoon to hold the waste for that time period? Please explain these issues in the
narrative of operations.
6) The lagoon volumes were difficult to comprehend. Please provide information on the number of
lagoons and the volumes of each.
All revisions / amendments are required to be signed and dated by both the landowner and the
Technical Specialist before they are submitted for review. 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 September 18, 1998 or the Division will return your
