S. JAY ZIMMERMAN
Director
On August 17, 2017, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office (WIRO) of the Division of Water
Resources (DWR) inspected the Hillari Farms, the permitted waste management system and conducted a
review of farm records.
As a result of this inspection, you are hereby notified that, having been permitted to have a non -discharge
permit for the subject animal waste management system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2T .1304, you have been
found to be in violation of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) and the Swine Waste
System General Permit No. AWG 100000 as follows:
Violation 1:
Failure in maintaining the waste level in lagoon/storage pond to not exceed the maximum level specified
in the facility's CAWMP. At a minimum, maximum waste level for lagoons/storage ponds must not exceed
the level that provides adequate storage to contain the 25-year, 24-hour storm event plus an additional one
(1) foot of structural freeboard except that there shall be no violation of this condition if: (a) there is a storm
event more severe than a 25-year, 24-hour event, (b) the Permittee is in compliance with its CAWMP, and
there is at least one (1) foot of structural freeboard, in accordance with Condition V. 2 of the Swine Waste
System General Permit No. AWG100000.
Farm records indicate this facility was not in compliance on October 11, 2016, in regards to freeboard with
the levels specified in the facility's CAWMP:
Lagoon 1 Eighteen (18) inches
The lagoon design freeboard is nineteen and one half (19.5) inches for lagoon 1.
State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality [Water Resources
127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, North Carolina 28405

Violation 2:
r,'
Failure in maintaining compliance in regard to sludge levels in each lagoon in accordance with Condition
III. 18 of the Swine Waste System General Permit No. AWG100000.
All facilities, which are issued a COC to operate tinder this General Permit, shall conduct a survey of the
sludge accumulation in all lagoons every year. The survey report should be written on forms provided or
approved by the Division and shall include a sketch showing the depth of sludge in the various locations
within each lagoon. This survey frequency may be reduced if it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of
the Division that the rate of sludge accumulation does not warrant an annual survey.
If the sludge accumulation is such that the structure does not satisfy the criteria set by NRCS NC
Conservation Practice Standard No. 359, a sludge removal or management plan must be submitted to the
appropriate Division Regional Office within ninety (90) days of the determination. The plan shall describe
removal and waste utilization procedures to be used. Compliance regarding sludge levels must be achieved
within two (2) years of the determination.
During inspection, the owner was given an additional sixty (60) days to have a plan and start some action.
Sludge has been mentioned in many previous years' compliance inspections:
• During September 2016 compliance inspection, staff from DWR stated the facility had until
September 2017 to have sludge within compliant levels. October 2016, sludge survey indicated a
sludge volume ratio of 0.81.
• During September 2015 compliance inspection, staff from DWR stated that a Plan of Action from
2011 was to be compliant by end of permit cycle (2014). Sludge survey from October 2014
indicated sludge ratio was 0.74.
Required Corrective Action for Violations:
Please provide to our office by December 22, 2017, a Technical Specialist's approved Sludge Waste Plan,
to satisfy the criteria set by NRCS NC Conservation Practice Standard No. 359 and in accordance with
Condition III. 18 of the Swine Waste System General Permit No. AWG100000.
Removal of the sludge to reach compliant levels, according to a Technical Specialist's approved Sludge
Waste Plan, to satisfy the criteria set by NRCS NC Conservation Practice Standard No. 359 and in
accordance with Condition III. 18 of the Swine Waste System General Permit No. AWG100000 must be
met by March 30, 2018. This additional time will allow for Permittee to possibly utilize corn or some
other warm season crop, in their Sludge Waste Plan, if not using another method such as dewatering bags.
You may wish to contact your County Soil & Water Conservation District Office, County Extension office,
a qualified technical specialist, and/or a professional engineer for any assistance they may be able to
provide.

This memo is to address the Notice of Deficiency letter sent to me on December 11, 2017.
Please accept the following information for corrective actions.
Violation 1: As always every effort has been made to keep our lagoon above the
allowable level. I plan to take every necessary step to keep our lagoon
levels in compliance with our Certified Animal Waste Management Plan
and permit. The plan is to have some of my sludge removed in March of
2017. This should give me back the needed storage and allow me to pump
the lagoon lower.
Violation 2: See attached sludge waste plan.
Sincerely,

NOTE: Symbol * means user entered data.

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of
cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements,
and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or
other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in
order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is
included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
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 that reaches surface
water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer
either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to
properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to
properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an
agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity,
allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the
responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an
update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the
operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application,
receiving crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs
for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical
data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are
regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre
per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per
acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter
strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field
Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste
application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift
from the land application field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste
will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is
applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be
broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone
to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance).
-----------------------------
888577 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: 12/13/2017 Specification Page 1

7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration
rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a
method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No
ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall
events, or when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner
that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit
growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be
considered.
10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring
planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient
loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable
winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not
be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages
breaking dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1,1995 shall comply with
the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is
applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least
50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste,
other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1,1995,
shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other
than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and
public right-of-ways.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
888577 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: 12/13/2017 Specification Page 2

15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways,
or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be
applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been
approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal
waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly
into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be
applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift
from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets,
sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management
system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all
disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas
shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as
trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where
considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and
accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for
evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the
owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan"
which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and
erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected
on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular
maintenance checklist should be kept on site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other
crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on
crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant
with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom
elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste
treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level
between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum
storage volume for waste storage ponds.
--------------------------------------------------
888577 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: 12/13/2017 Specification Page 3

22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested
at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen
shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require
waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower
application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the
soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when
these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and
maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis
records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste
application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years.
Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five
(5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

Crop Notes
The following crop note applies to field(s): 1
Bermudagrass Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Poorly Drained to Somewhat Poorly Drained.
Adaptation: Effective artificial drainage MUST be in place to achieve Realistic Yield Expectations
provided for these soils.
In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. 1 to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs 1" to 3"
deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and
wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a
rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing
conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced 1' to 1.5' in row.
For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus,
potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 Ib/ac N in
the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240
lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts.
Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization
of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or
extension agent for assistance.
