Kenan Reginald Kenan Farm P.O. Box 472 Warsaw, NC 28398 Subject: Notice of Violation Case # NOV-2007-PC-0189 Reginald inald Kea Farm Duplin County — Dear Mr. Kenan: Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director Division of Water Quality This is to notify you of violations to Swine Waste Management System General NPDES Permit NCA200000 issued on August 22, 2005 under Certificate of Coverage NCA231870. On March 2, 2007, Mr. John Farnell and Mr. Chester Cobb from the Wilmington Regional Office inspected one of the sprayfields at the Reginald Kenan Farm. The inspection was conducted in response to an aerial photo sent to the Wilmington Regional Office on March 1, 2007. The photo showed animal waste ponding and running towards a ditch while an application event was occurring. Mr. Farnell and Mr. Cobb were able to identify the sprayfield from which the photo was taken. At the time of inspection, no waste was found ponded or in the ditch due to heavy rainfall that night. The operator, Mr. Perry Vann, said that he did pump from about 10:00 am to 1:00 pm and that he turned off the pump when he noticed waste ponding on the field. From the inspection, the following violations were noted: 1. Hydraulic Overload The aerial photo taken on February 28, 2007, showed animal waste running towards a ditch. Also, the operator mentioned that he saw waste ponding. The ponding and runoff of animal waste is in violation of Condition No. II. 4. of NPDES Permit NCA200000 that states, "Land application rates shall be in accordance with the CAWMP. In no case shall land application rates exceed the Plant Available Nitrogen rate for the receiving crop. In no case shall land application rates result in excessive ponding or any runoff during any given application event."

Firstly, I would like to say that I have tried very hard to abide by all the rules and regulations required by your office and other state and federal agencies. This is the first time I have ever had to response to any notice of violation. I take great pride 1n my hog operation and I am very proud of it. I do not agree that I have violated the NPDES permit. I understand "ponding" to mean water standing on top of the ground for more than four hours. The facts of this case indicate that the operator, Mr. Perry Lee Vann on February 28, 2007 irrigated for approximately three hours. ending at 1:00 P.M. A. photo was taken by your personnel on February 28, 2007 at 12:45 p.m. The operator ended irrigation event due to required inspection of the system showing that some ponding was beginning to occur in this field. The permit allows four hours of ponding. There are no additional photos or evidence which show that the ponding exceeded your hours; therefore no ponding.violation occurred. The photo and nov letter state indicate the animal waste discharged into the ditch on the edge of the field but the review of the photo provided does not show clearly any runoff occurring.' The area in question has some erosion due to rainfall during the winter and the white areas shown indicate areas where said has "washed"' not waste water. Even your visit on Mary 7, 2007 found no ponding/runoff or evidence of it having occurred. The failure to notify violation assumes that ponding exceeded four hours or runoff occurred. Agana there is no evidence of either or is there any evidence that the operator knew of -such. If it did not occur, the operator would have no requirement to notify since there was no ponditug violation or runoff. Notification failure could only occur if the operator was aware of a violation. 04/25/2007 16:53 9102937437 S.REGINALD KENAN PAGE 02/02 In order to prevent any farther misunderstanding, the area of erosion evident in the photo are being repaired to avoid further confusion.

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 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 o propel ,sampl ng , techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysi��' JUN 0 5 2009 This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 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 waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the 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, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application 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 that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strip). Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 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" for guidance.) 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 or flies. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.

The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 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 or forages breaking dormancy. 11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by 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 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 courses 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. Page 6 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 17 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. 18 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. 19 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 animal waste during the crop season. 20 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 21 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 22 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

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 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.

Page 4 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 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. 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 waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the 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, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application 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 that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strip). 5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 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" for guidance.) 7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. 8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during_ rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. Page 5 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 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 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 or forages breaking dormancy. 11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by 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 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 courses 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.

Page 4 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 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. 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 waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the 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, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application 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 that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strip). 5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 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" for guidance.) 7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which. does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. 8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. Page 5 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 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 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 or forages breaking dormancy. 11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by .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 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 courses 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. Page 6 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) ^17 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. 18 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. 19 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 animal waste during the crop season. 20 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 21 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste appiication records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 22 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. Page 7 t.

Reginald Kenan Reginald Kenan Farm PO Box 472 Warsaw NC 28398 Alan W. Klimek, P. E., Director Division of Water Quality Subject: Application for National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit Facility Number 31 - 870 Dear S. Reginald Kenan: The Division of Water Quality (Division) has been required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to develop a NPDES permit program for animal waste management systems. The Division has developed a general NPDES permit similar to the state Non -Discharge General Permit that this facility is currently permitted under. Coverage under the General NPDES permit will be required by all facilities that are at, or above, the federal threshold numbers of animals listed below, as well as any facilities that have had a discharge to waters of the state since January 1, 2001. Federal Threshold Animal Numbers: 2500 Swine greater than 55 pounds in weight 10,000 Swine less than 55 pounds in weight 700 Mature (milking cows or any cows that have calved) Dairy Cattle 1000 Beef Cattle in confinement 30,000 Poultry with a liquid waste management system 55,000 Turkeys 125,000 Chickens other than a liquid waste management system 82,000 Laying Hens other than a liquid waste management system According to our records this facility meets the federal threshold for a NPDES permit. If you are currently operating at a population above the threshold numbers please sign and submit the enclosed NPDES Short Form B — Existing Facility. Please carefully follow the instructions on the form. If you are currently operating this facility at a population below the federal threshold you may choose to submit the enclosed "NPDES Short Form B — Existing Facility" for the design capacity of the system as it is currently permitted. You may also choose to request a new Certificate of Coverage under the State Non -Discharge Permit at a population below the federal threshold. Should you choose this option, please submit the enclosed "Request for Modification to Existing Certificate of Coverage for State Non - Discharge Permit" application and updated WUP reflecting the population change. Please note that if you are issued a modified Certificate of Coverage for a lesser population, any future increases in population would require a new permit from the Division prior to increasing the animal population.

Reginald Kenan, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with NPDES General Permit NCA200000. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Reginald Kenan Farm, located in Duplin County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 7344 Feeder to Finish swine and the application to land as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows. The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until July 1, 2007. Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals. Please. carefully read this COC and the enclosed General Permit. Since this is a new joint State and Federal general permit it contains many new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the current State general permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay careful attention to the record keeping and monitorinR conditions in this permit. The Animal Facility Annual Certification Form must be completed and returned to the Division of Water Quality by no later than March 1 st of each year. If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed. The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.

These inspections resulted in the following: May 23, 2000 inspection: (1) It was observed that a new waste analysis is needed. The most recent waste analysis is dated December 3, 1999. The CAWMP requires that a waste analysis be performed at least within 60 days of waste application. This is a violation of the 2H .0217 Permit and the CAWMP as there is no waste analysis sufficiently dated for applications made between February 2, 2000 and the date of your new waste analysis (once received) less 60 days. It is required that a schedule be established for having waste samples analyzed which will ensure that there is always a waste analysis dated sufficiently to cover 127 North Cardinal Dr., Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 An Telephone 910-395-3900 FAX 910-350-2004 Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Mr. Reginald Kenan July 7, 2000 Page Two Field 1 1, Y 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 4 4 5 6 7 8 any application events. (2) It was observed that a soil analysis of the application fields is needed. The most recent soil analysis is dated August 25, 1998. This is a violation of the 2H .0217 Permit and the CAWMP which requires that soil test be performed at least annually. (3) It was observed that you are in violation of the 2H .0217 Permit and the CAWMP by grazing fields that are designated for hay production in -the CAWMP. (4) It was observed that some of the fields need improvement. There are low wet areas, bare areas, and non berinuda grasses that need to be addressed. (5) It was observed that the acreage in the waste plan and the irrigation design that are on site do not agree. A copy of the waste plan and irrigation design (including maps) that agree on acreage should be obtained and kept with the records. (6) It was observed that the irrigation records had not been updated since October 1999. Irrigation records should be kept up to date. • June 9, 2000 inspection: (1) The following overapplications of animal waste Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) were observed: Amount Amount Allowed Applied Percent Hydrant Crop (lbs PAN/acre) (lbs PAN/acre) Overapplication 2 1999/2000 Small Grain 3 1999/2000 Small Grain 4 1999/2000 Small Grain 5 1999/2000 Small Grain 6 1999/2000 Small Grain 7A 1999/2 ^.00 Small.

(2) It was observed that the IRR-2 forms for the 1999/2000 small grain crop show the beginning PAN allowance as 100 lbs/acre while the CAWMP allows 50 lbs PAN/acre to be applied to the small grain. The IRR-2 forms should be corrected such that they agree with the CAWMP. (3) It was observed that there is a recent waste plan which it appears Mr. Reginald Kenan July 7, 2000 Page Three is intended to be the waste plan in use at the facility. However, this waste plan had not been signed and dated by you at "the time of the inspection. If it is your intention to operate the facility under this waste plan, then it should be signed and dated by you. (4) It was observed that IRR-2 forms for the 2000 bermuda crop show the beginning PAN allowance as 3001bs/acre while the unsigned/undated waste plan allows 255 lbs PAN/acre to be applied. Upon implementing the "new" waste plan, the IRR-2 forms should be modified. (5) It was observed that field 1, which is designated in the waste plan as bermuda, is actually planted in both corn and bermuda. This is a violation of the 211.0217 Permit and the CAWMP. Modifications should be made such that the waste plan and the field practice agree. (6) It was observed that the 1999 bermuda crop records were not available at the time of inspection. Records of waste application are required to be maintained for a period of five years and should be readily available for inspection. Please submit a Plan of Action which addresses the violations and items noted above. The Plan of Action should include: 1) A list of any and all actions taken to correct the noted violations and items. Please include any mitigation efforts. 2) A list of any and all modifications that have been and will be implemented to prevent future occurrences along with a timetable for completion of the modifications.

Cardinal Dr. Wilmington, NC 28405 Mr. Shiver, LBY"" 21 2000 I am writing on behalf of Mr. Reginald Kenan, owner of the Reginald Kenan Farm, facility no.jj-ij8 , in Duplin Co. This letter is in response to the July 7, 2000 Notice of Violation issued by your office against this farm. In an effort to reply in an orderly fashion to the deficiencies noted in your letter, I will reply to each point in the order that they are identified in your correspondence. May 23, 2000 inspection: (1&2) Grower has implemented a calendar program reminding him of the correct sampling frequencies. A new lagoon sample was received by the farm on June 28, 2000; and a new soil sample was received on June 22, 2000. (3) A grazing plan, written on 5/25/00, was not on the farm at the time of this inspection. A copy of this plan has been placed in the filebox at the farm. (4) Grower has hauled dirt to fill in low areas. Lime has been applied to all fields. (5) Grower had a copy of an old irrigation design in the filebox. The as built version has been placed in the farm records. (6) The farm currently uses a third party to keep records. This system is being worked on to insure that updated records are placed in the filebox weekly. June 9, 2000 inspection: (1) The grower understood that he was signed up for DWQ emergency BMP's allowing 1001bs of application to small grain. Unfortunately, no record of this could be found. If one looks at the amount applied to each pull, it is apparent that the grower made an effort to evenly apply his effluent in a responsible manner. (2) Once again, Mr. Kenan was under the impression that he could apply 100 lbs. through the emergency BMP's. This misunderstanding is understandable given the confusion involving the implementation of these BMP's. (3) The current waste plan has been signed and dated by the owner. (4) All IRR2 forms have been updated to the current WUP rates. (5) I have modified the WUP to account for the corn in field 1. (6) Records are kept on computer. Crop end reports will be kept as specified in the future. Post Office Box 759, Rose Hill, North Carolina 28458, (910) 289-2111, FAX (910) 289-6400 Mr. Kenan is committed to operating his farm in compliance with all applicable regulations. The corrective actions outlined in this letter are intended to alleviate any and all concerns noted in the inspection. If there are any questions, or further concerns, please call me at (910) 289 6439 ext. 4556. e , We terbeek iv F rms 7/17/00 Re: Reginald Kenan Permit Inquiry Subject: Re: Reginald Kenan Permit Inquiry Date: Fri, 07 Jul 2000 09:10:57 -0400 From: Sue Homewood <sue.homewood@ncmail.net> Organization: DWQ To: Stonewall Mathis <Stonewall.Mathis@ncmail.net> CC: Kim Colson <Kim.Colson@ncmail.net>, Dennis Ramsey <Dennis.Ramsey@ncmail.net> Stoney, that permit was sent up for signature prior to 12/98.

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, DRYS, 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. The following information was missing from your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). Please address the following by August 10, 1998. The Clean Water Responsibility Act, signed August 27, 1997, set a two-year moratorium on all - new and expanding swine operations. Reginald Kenan Farm's facility design was certified prior to January 1, 1997 and, therefore, you were not required to apply for a General Permit prior to constructing your operation. However, your facility did not acquire deemed permitted status prior to August 27, 1997. A complete Animal Waste Management Plan Certification form was received by the Division of Water Quality dated April 22, 1998. Since your facility was not completely certified prior to August 27, 1997, you are required to provide documentation that your facility meets one of the exceptions to the moratorium before it can be issued coverage under the General Permit. Please reference the attached documentation for the list of the seven (7) exceptions for new and expanding hog operations in the Clean Water Responsibility Act. Additionally, please provide two copies of the irrigation design for Reginald Kenan Farm. The certification form referenced above shows a certification date for the irrigation design on December 5, 1997. An irrigation design is a required part of the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan if it was completed after September 30, 1996. If you have documentation showing the irrigation design was completed before September 30, 1996, please submit it for review. If the design was completed on December 5, 1997 as certified or any date after September 30, 1996, please provide two copies of the design for review. The Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) for this facility indicates the dominant soil type for tract 8162, field 10 to be "Ln". The "Ln" abbreviation is used to represent Leon soils in Duplin County. The Realistic Yield Expectations (R.Y.E.) for the crops listed in your WUP does not correspond with the crop yields listed in your WUP for Leon soil. Please clarify the dominant soil type for field 10 and / or adjust the application rates to meet R.Y.E.s for each crop by soil type. The Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) lists soybeans, corn and wheat in a two-year rotation as available crops for waste application. Residual nitrogen left over from the soybean crop in the two-year rotation must be accounted for. Nitrogen application rates to the following crop are required to be reduced by 15-30 lb. (dependent on soil type) to account for the residual nitrogen left by the preceding P.O.

Reginald Kenan Reginald Kenan Farm PO Box 472 Warsaw NC 28398 Dear Mr. Kenan: nt DEC 3 1 W7 gLTI.9;TA E N R Subject: Classification of Animal Waste Management Systems Facility: Reginald Kenan Farm Facility ID #: 31-870 County: Duplin Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study Commission on Agricultural Waste, was enacted by the North Carolina General Assembly on June 21, 1996. This bill requires that a certified operator be designated as the Operator in Charge (OIC) by January 1, 1997, for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more swine, 100 or more confined cattle, 75 or more horses, 1,000 or more sheep, or 30,000 or more confined poultry with a liquid animal waste management system. Our records indicate that your facility is registered with the Division of Water Quality and meets the requirements for designating an OIC. A training and certification program is available for animal waste management system operators. For information on the training programs please contact your local Cooperative Extension Agent. Operator certifications are issued by the Water Pollution Control Systems Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC). For information on the certification process, please contact the Technical Assistance and Certification Unit at (919) 733-0026. The type of training and certification required for the operator of each system is based on the nature of the wastes to be treated and the treatment process(es) primarily used to treat the animal waste. There are two types of animal waste management systems, type A and type B. Type A animal waste management systems are generally used to treat waste generated by monogastric animals which produce a low -fiber waste. Type B animal waste management systems are generally used to treat waste generated by ruminants and other animals which produce a high -fiber waste. The type of training and certification an operator receives should correspond with the type of system(s) they intend to operate. For more information on the classification of your system please contact the Technical Assistance and Certification Unit. As the owner of an animal operation with an animal waste management system, you must designate an Operator in Charge and must submit the enclosed designation form to the WPCSOCC. If you do not intend to operate your animal waste management system yourself, you must designate an employee or engage a contract operator to be the Operator in Charge. The person designated as the Operator in Charge, whether yourself or another person, must possess a currently valid certificate of the appropriate type. nSincerely, Joseph B.
