Box 383 Dobson, NC 27017 d � �9Yw1� NORTH CAROLINA Environmental Quality June 2, 2020 Subject: Review of the 2019 Annual Report Wayne Farms, LLC — Residuals Land Application Program Permit No. WQ0004609 Surry County Dear Mr. Early: Division of Water Resources (Division) staff person Caitlin Caudle has completed a review of the 2019 Annual Report for the subject permit. The report reflects compliance with the subject permit. The following items of concern were noted: According to Permit Condition IV.5. standard soil fertility analysis shall be conducted on each site where land application occurs within the respective calendar year. The soil samples collected for one of the fields utilized in 2019 was collected in 2020. Please ensure that soil fertility analysis is completed in the calendar year of the annual report, and all parameter listed in Permit Condition IV.5 are reported. 2. One of the soil sample results provided in the 2019 report did not include three of the required parameters (i.e. Base Saturation, Percent Humic Matter and Exchangeable Sodium Percentage) listed in the table within Permit Condition IV.5. Please ensure that future soil sampling includes all the required parameters as listed in the permit. 3. Some of the Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) rates listed in the Land Application Summary forms do not match the rates listed online. Please ensure that PAN rates listed on forms are up to date in accordance with Permit Condition II.10. 4. Field 22-02 was reported to have zinc levels in the soils greater than 4000, and Field 13- 13 reported zinc levels greater than 2000. Please ensure that standard soil fertility samples are collected correctly and monitor the zinc levels in these fields as elevated metals concentrations can impact plant growth.
