Perdue- Halifax Hatchery #9
Industrial Process Description
The facility functions solely as a poultry hatchery. Fertilized eggs are received and
placed in setters and then hatchers. The hatched chicks are vaccinated, debeaked, and
transported to area poultry houses for the growout process and eventual processing.
Wastewater Generation Process- Cleaning and Treatment
Sanitation practices are performed on a daily/weekly basis for all process equipment,
hatchers and egg room. An electro-chemical activation (ECA) technology system is
used to produce a cleaner and a sanitizer- sodium hydroxide and hypochlorous acid, for
cleaning. Also, Acid Hatchery Foam and Synergize disinfectant are used for cleaning as
well. After the chicks hatch, the waste is scooped out of the hatchers and disposed of as
waste, but some residual may be washed out during cleaning (residual chick down, egg
shells, feces).
The wastewater is disinfected with chlorine gas before spray irrigation.

Groundwater Monitoring Program
Monitoring Well 3 has only had one exceedance of ammonia in the last 5 years. The Nitrogen, Ammonia
Total daily maximum for groundwater standard is 1.5 mg/L. The exceedance was 1.61 mg/L on 11/8/17.
According to the updated site map, Monitoring Well 4 is within the compliance boundary.
We will seek guidance from the Raleigh Regional Office and Central office on the matter.
