constitutes a violation of state law and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit coverage
termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit coverage renewal
application.
19

It shall not be a defense for a Permittee in an enforcement action to claim that it would have been
necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the
conditions of this Permit.
V1II. DEFINITIONS
25-year, 24-hour rainfall or storm event means the maximum 24-hour precipitation event with a
probable recurrence interval of once in 25 years, as defined by the National Weather Service in Technical
Paper Number 40, "Rainfall Frequency Atlas of the United States," May 1961, and subsequent
amendments, or equivalent regional or state rainfall probability information developed therefrom.
Agronomic rates means the amount of animal waste and/or other nutrient sources to be applied to lands
as outlined in NRCS NC Conservation Practice Standards No. 590 "Nutrient Management'" and No. 633
"Waste Utilization" or as recommended by the NCDA&CS and the North Carolina Cooperative
Extension Service at the time of certification of the Animal Waste Management Plan by the appropriate
certified technical specialist.
Amendment to the CAWMP means a change and/or addition to a part(s) of the plan, and requires that the
change and/or addition adhere to current applicable standards. The following are examples of
amendments to the CAWMP:
• In an existing CAWMP. a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes 25% or less of the N
generated is considered a plan amendment. Additional acreage needed to facilitate the change in crops
and/or cropping pattern is permissible and considered part of the amendment.
• The addition of winter crops and/or interseeded perennial crops are considered amendments to an
existing CAWMP when the operation does not require additional acreage and/or crops for N
utilization, and does not exceed the 25% criteria stated above.
• When a CAWMP cannot meet N utilization requirements due to land lost to irrigation inefficiency
(useable versus total acres), then the CAWMP may be amended to increase available acreage and/or
change the crop for N utilization. This is the only exception to the 25% N criteria for plan revision.
+ Inclusions of emergency action plans, and insect, odor and mortality checklists are considered
CAWMP amendments.
• Including additional acreage for land application beyond what is required in the existing CAWMP is
considered a plan amendment.
Animal feeding operation means a lot or facility (other than an aquatic animal production facility) where
the following conditions are met: (i) animals (other than aquatic animals) have been, are, or will be
stabled or confined and fed or maintained for a total of forty five (45) days or more in any twelve (12)
month period, and (ii) crops, vegetation, forage growth, or post harvest residues are not sustained in the
normal growing season over any portion of the lot or facility. Two or more animal feeding operations
under common ownership are considered to be a single animal feeding operation if they adjoin each other,
or if they use a common area or system for the disposal of wastes.
20

Certification means technical specialist certification of the CAWMP in accordance with the requirements
of 15A NCAC 02T .1304. It is unrelated to terms "Annual Certification" as used in Condition E11.21 of
this Permit, and the "No Discharge Certification Option" allowed by the November 2008 EPA CAFO
Rule.
Ditch means any man made channel for the purpose of moving water off a site to the surface waters
Excessive Ponding means any area of the application field where visible liquid waste is ponded on the
surface of the land application site more than four (4) hours following the application of waste. Excessive
pending also means any areas where the ponding of waste has resulted in crop failure.
Groundwaters mean any subsurface waters, as defined in 15A NCAC 2L .0102.
Land application means the application of wastewater and/or waste solids onto or incorporation into the
soil.
Major changes to the CAWMP means changes in the number of animals; type of operation (feeder to
finish to wean to feeder), retrofit of a lagoon, installation of a new irrigation system, and similar type
changes. Recertification is only required for major changes to the CAWMP. Major changes to a facility
must first be approved by DWQ. The new CAWMP and the certification shall be submitted with a request
that the COC be amended to reflect the changes. The facility may not make the changes until a new or
amended COC has been issued.
Revision to the CAWMP means a change to an entire CAWMP to meet current applicable standards. A
CAWMP must be revised if the operation cannot utilize all N nitrogen generated by the animal production
in accordance with the existing CAWMP, except for the specific conditions noted in the CAWMP
amendment criteria as previously defined. For an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping
pattern that utilizes more than 25% of the N generated by the operation is considered a plan revision. Any
change to an existing CAWMP, whether an amendment or revision, must be signed and dated by both the
producer and a technical specialist for the new CAWMP to be valid. A revision of the CAWMP does not
require recertification.
State Waters means all surface waters, wetlands, goundwaters and waters of the United States located in
the State.
Surface Waters means any stream, river, brook, swamp, lake, sound, tidal estuary, bay, creek, reservoir,
waterway, or other surface body or surface accumulation of water, whether public or private, or natural or
artificial, that is contained in, flows through, or borders upon any portion of the State of North Carolina,
including any portion of the Atlantic Ocean over which the State has jurisdiction as well as any additional
Waters of the United States which are located in the State.
Waste means manure, animal waste, process wastewater and/or sludge generated at an animal feeding
operation.
Wetlands means areas that are inundated or saturated by an accumulation of surface or groundwater at a
frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances do support a prevalence of
vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions, as defined in 15A NCAC 2B .0202.

On Monday June 14, 2010 the Washington Regional Office received a complaint from a citizen on Willowgreen
Road regarding an irrigation event on Sunday June 13, 2010. This irrigation event was on the cornfield that is
East of the driveway into the Everette Murphrey Farm (see map). A subsequent inspection was conducted on
June 16, 2010.
Please note Condition I1.19 & 20 of the State Swine General Permit states: (19) "No waste shall be applied in
wind conditions that might reasonably be expected to cause the mist to reach surface waters or wetlands or cross
property lines or field boundaries. " (20) " The Permittee shall maintain buffer strips or other equivalent
practices as specified in the facility's CAWMP near feedlots, manure storage areas and land application areas."
In the Plans & Specifications section of your Waste Utilization Plan item #13 states, "animal waste shall not be
applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. Number 14 states, "waste
shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways."
Please ensure appropriate buffers are adhered to during irrigation events as required in your waste management
plan and permit. Failure to comply with conditions in a permit may result in a recommendation of enforcement
action, to the Director of the Division of Water Quality who may issue a civil penalty assessment of not more
than twenty-five thousand ($25,000) dollars against any "person" who violates or fails to act in accordance with
the terms; conditions, or requirements of a permit under authority of G.S.143-215.6A. For reference, maps are
attached indicating the approximate areas of the reported complaints and set -backs to property lines and home
sites_

The waste from your anima facility must be land appiied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface andlor roundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be
used to reduce the arncunt of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where
waste is to be appiied. Thi waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient.
Waste should be analyzed )efore each appiication cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly
encouraged so that all plan nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be
grown.
Several factors are import t in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the w to and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe
manner. Always apply wa e based on the needs of the crop to oe grown and the nutrient
contents of the waste. 04 of apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are
important as they have Jiff rent infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange
capacities, and avaiaiable ater holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to
land eroding at greater tha 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre -cautions, waste may
be applied to land eroding t up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on
saturated soils, when it is r ining, or when the surface is frozen Either of these cancit,ons
may result in runoff to surf ce waters which is not allowed under UECI , regulations. Wince
conditions should also be nsidered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To
maximize the value of the utrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for
pollution, the waste should a applied to a growing crop or applied rc bare ground not more
than 00 days prior to plantii lig. Injecting the waste or disking will c�-nser!e nutrients and
reduce odor problems Th!4, plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this is the

will produce approximately
1850 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the
sludge that will need to be
emoved on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when
broadcasting the sludge.
ease be aware that additional acres of land, as well special
equipment, may be needec
when you remove this sludge.
See the attached map sho
ing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water.
APPLICATION OF WA
TE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application r
e should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of
irrigation such that runoff o
ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture
content, soil structure, soil
exture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application
amount should not exceed
he available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of
irrigation nor should the pie
t available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the
crop.
Your facility is designed for
180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the averag4
of once every 5.92 months. In no instance should the volume of
waste being stored in your
tructure be within 1.7 feet of the top of the dike.
If surface irrigation is the IT
athod of land application for this plan, it is the responsiblity of the
producer and irrigation des
gner to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in
Fables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of Nitrogen showr
in the tables may make this plan invalid.
The following table is provi
led as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

PLANS & SPECIFIC IONS
1. Animal waste shall not r ach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct applic ion, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any
discharge of waste which r aches surface water is prohib4ed. Illegal discharges are subject
to assessment of civil pena 'es of $10,000 per day by the Division of `.'Dater Quaiity for every
day the discharge continue .
2. The Field Office must h e documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has long term ac s to adequate land to properly dispose of waste. if the producer
does not own adequate Ian I to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy
of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing
him/her the use of the land or waste application for the life expectancy of the production`acility. It is the responsib,li of the owner of the facility to seduce an update of the Waste
Utilization Plan when there s a change in the operation, increase in the narmber of animals,
method of utilization, or av Table land.
3 Animal waste shall be a lied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop
yields based on soil type. ailable moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and 'revel of
management, unless there re regulations that restrict the rate of application for other
nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be a plied to land that has a Resource Management System (RIVIS) or
an Alternative Conservatia System (ACS). if an ACS is used tho soil loss shall be no greater
than 10 tons per acre per ar and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves
the field. These filter strip will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DBtvi. (See FOTG
Stantard 393 - Filter Strips pnd Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers)
5. Odors can be reduced b injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied whe 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 crol land. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the
waster may be broadcast X Dvided the application does not occur during a season prone to
flooding. (See "Weather an J Climate in North Carolina" in the NRCS Technical Reference -
Environrnent file for guidan e.)
+7. Liquid waste shall be a lied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff
does not occur offsite or to urface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from,
the site during application. o ponding should occur in order to control conditions ;,onducive
to odor or flies and to provi e uniformity of application.
8. Animal -waste shall riot b� applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on. actively growing craps in such a manner that the crop is
not covered with waste to depth that would inhibit growth.
10, tPlaste nutrients shall n t be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with.
a high potential for leachin Waste nutrient leading rates or, these sc�i's should be held to a
minimum and a suitable wi ter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall
not be applied more than days prior to planting of a crop on bare soil.
11. Any new swine facility �ited on or after October 1, 1995- shal' comply with the fo#lowing:

the outer perimeter of the I d area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a
component of a swine farm hall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary
and from any perennial str m or river (other that an Irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste
other than swine waste fro facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied
closer than 25 feet to pere ial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips)
12. Animal waste shall not a applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal Waste shall not a applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landownwer.
14. Waste shall be applied j, a manner not to reach other property and public right - of ways.
15. Animal waste shall not a discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
discharge or by over -spray' g. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted croplands
provided they have been a proved as a land application site by a "technical specialist".
Animal waste should not b applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water
courses, except when appli at agronomic rates and the application causes no runoff or drift
from the site.
*16. Domestic and industl waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc.,
shall not be discharged intclthe animal waste management system.
*17. A protective cover of a
propriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, ben
is, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be
provided for these areas ar
J shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation.
Vegetation such as trees, s
irubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where
considered appropriate. Lagoon
areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms
and structures should be in
petted regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge.
*18. If animal production at
he facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining ar
J implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility
of an illegal discharge, polit
tion and erosion.
*19. Waste handling struct
es, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowr
5, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be
kept on site.
20. Animal waste can be u

Subject: Sludge Compliance Requirement Change
Dear Permittee:
In accordance with Condition II1.19 of State General Permit AWG100000, your facility is
required to maintain compliance regarding sludge accumulation in your animal waste treatment
lagoon(s). As you know, the previous compliance limit was to have a minimum of four (4) feet
of treatment depth between the designed stop pump and the average elevation of the top of the
sludge blanket. This requirement was based on NRCS Standard No. 359, which was recently
modified.
As of July 2008, Standard No. 359 does not use the 4-foot requirement. Sludge compliance is
now to be based on the sludge volume as a percentage of the total treatment volume. The revised
Standard states that sludge accumulation in the permanent treatment zone must be less than 50%
of the planned treatment volume. Also, there must be a minimum of 2.5 feet of liquid above the
sludge at the pump intake location. If either of these conditions is not met then sludge must be
removed or managed in accordance with an approved Plan of Action for Lagoon Sludge
Reduction (POA). A new sludge survey worksheet has been developed to calculate sludge and
treatment volumes to determine compliance.
Our records indicate that you have filed a Sludge POA for one or more of the lagoons at your
facility. Based on the changes to the sludge requirements in Standard No. 359, your lagoon(s)
may already be in compliance without any sludge removal. Using your lagoon design (or as -
built information) and current sludge survey measurements, complete the NEW sludge survey
worksheet. If you have any difficulty in locating or understanding your lagoon design
information, please contact your technical specialist or county Soil & Wate - — -

basin embankments (outside toe of embankment to maximum pumping elevation),
berms, pipe runs, erosion control areas, and surface water diversions. Trees,
shrubs, and other woody vegetation shall not be allowed to grow on the earthen
basin dikes or embankments. Earthen basin embankment areas shall be kept
mowed or otherwise controlled and accessible.

5. The residuals generated from this Facility must be disposed in accordance with
General Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the Division. When
removal of sludge from the treatment units is necessary, provisions must be taken
to prevent damage to any dikes and liners.
6. If separated solids or residuals from the other treatment units are accumulated
faster than predicted and it is determined that designed treatment, storage and
disposal methods are insufficient, the Permittee will immediately cease use of the
Innovative System and therefore the continued generation of solids by that System,
until adequate solids storage and/or removal can be designed, approved, and
constructed.
7. All treatment units shall be kept free of foreign debris including, but not limited
to, tires, bottles, light bulbs, gloves, syringes or any other solid waste.
8. If liquid effluent samples show that additional land will be necessary for
application of nitrogen at agronomic rates, the Permittee will take immediate
action. This action may include, but may not be limited to, one of the following:
a) preparing additional land at the site for land application wastewater or solids, b)
acquiring leased land agreements for land application of wastewater or solids, or
c) decrease the animal population to that which creates a balance between
nutrients produced and utilization on the existing land application and crops, or d)
any other method approved by the Division.
9. The WUP shall be modified as needed, based on performance of the Innovative
System. If performance is not as predicted, immediate measures such as those
listed in Condition H.15 above will be taken.
10. In the case of interruption or failure of the Innovative System, the Permittee will
follow the Emergency Action Plan (EAP) as submitted, and if necessary adjust
the wastewater collection system back to the existing lagoon as permitted under
COC NCA240017.

Pear Mr. Mwrphrey,
Please find the enclosed Sludge Survey you requested from Rainman Environmental,
LLC. We appreciate your trust and thank you for allowing us to help you meet the needs
of your farm.
Based on the information collected during your sludge survey, you will need to
submit E sludge management plan to the Division of Water Quality within 90 days
of receipt of this letter for you farm. This plan will need to outline how sludge levels
will be reduced and the time frame for doing so.
The sludge levels were only slightly above what is `acceptable' per your permit.
Since start and stop pump elevations were not available at the time of the survey, I
assumed a start pump of 19", and a stop pump of 43". If this is not correct, please
let me know and I can modify the survey. Given the relatively shallow depth of your
lagoon, your stop pump may be less than 43". If it is 40' or less, you do not have a
sludge problem at this time. If new information is submitted, the modification will
be free of charge.
Rainman Environmental, LLC offers complete permit compliance services. In addition
to sludge surveys, we also prepare irrigation designs and perform irrigation calibrations.
If we can be of any assistance to you in the future, feel free to call us. We have attached a
business card for your quick reference.
Thank you again for your business and we look forward to working with you again in the
future.

Dear Everette Murphrey:
On March 14, 2003, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued an NPDES General
Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued to enable swine facilities in North Carolina to
obtain coverage under a single permit that addresses both State and Federal requirements.
In accordance with your application received on January 28, 2003, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Everette Murphrey, authorizing the operation of the subject
animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application systems in accordance with NPDES
General Permit NCA200000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your COC Number
AWS400017 to operate under State Non -Discharge Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Everette Murphrey Farm, located in GreeneCounty, with an animal capacity of
no greater than an annual average of 5000 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 monitorina conditions in this t)ernait. The Devices to Automaticallv Stot7 Irrieation Events Form
must be returned to the Division of Water Quality no later than 120 days following receipt of the

Dennis,
Had an excellent meeting yesterday morning with Everette, Chuck
Stokes, Alan Biggs (Save our State), Len Bull, Bruce Harris
(EPA-ORD-NRMNL) and two representatives from Recovery Systems
Inc, the technology provider. There appears to be a consensus
among the farmers, including Everette, to move ahead with this
project. I will ]seep you updated as plans solidify.
Special credit goes to Lyn Hardison. Apparently she was able to
diffuse a potentially calamitous situation for the Division that
would have undone years of collaborative research among federal
and state agencies, and derail one of the best opportunities we
have had to document environmental recovery following abandonment
of a lagoon and sprayfield waste treatment system.
Apparently the problem steraed from the multitude of state and
federal employees who are carrying out various research projects
on Everette's farm. The surprise inspection appears to have
tipped the scale. Although Lyn most graciously offered Everette
the opportunity to submit copies of his records by mail, in
retrospect, this became an overload that ultimately threatened
all work at the site.
At our meeting yesterday there was a clear consensus among all
parties, including Everette, that if alternative technology was
to be installed at Lizzie, Everette would have to be treated on
equal footing with all other farms installing alternative
technology, and that he would have to comply with the letter of
the law on all permit conditions. This will be critical to
ensure impartiality among all alternative technology farms.
I understand Lyn will be meeting with Everette this Friday to
wrap this thing up. The coincidental timing of the inspection
and our meeting was unfortunate, but we are all most appreciative
of Lyn's professionalism in bringing this situation to a
successful conclusion.
In retrospect, this situation reflects a systemic problem within
our Division. All of us become so immersed in innumerable
142 119103 4:30 PM

[Fwd: Meeting with Everette Murphmy et al m dtem ve tmhmlogy at Lurie]
responsibilities that we often do not know about ongoing and
important activities in other prograns protecting North
Carolina's waters. All of us have this problem.
As we move ahead with this technology implementation, there was a
strong consensus among the group, including Everette, that we
would like Lyn Hardison to be a member of our team. This
initiative is being driven by farmers, scientists, engineers and
environmentalists from the bottom up. Not only would she be kept
abreast of all of the ongoing activities at Lizzie, thus
minimizing the opportunity for any misunderstandings down the
road, but with her years of experience and unique perspective,
she could offer valuable insight to the team.
Team membership would have minimal impact on her scarce time,
primarily being kept in the loop on e-mails and attending a few
very infrequent meetings where we all get together.
Let me know people's thoughts on this idea. I am also copying
Jim Mulliqan to pass on our appreciation for Lyn's fine work, and
with due respect for the chain -of -command.

Environmental Measurements for Alternative Waste
Treatment Technology Demonstration
Brice Harris, Lynette Cardoch, Wayne Fowler, Richard Shores, Edgar Thompson,
Chester Vogel, and John T. Walker
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
National Risk Management Research Laboratory
Air Pollution and Prevention Control Division
Research Triangle Park, NC
January 29, 2003

1.0 Project Objectives
Measurements will take place at the research site located near Farmville, North Carolina.
The objective of this measurement program is to determine emission factors and
horizontal gradients of NH3 concentrations from the swine lagoon/housing complex out
to 500 m. This information will be combined with atmospheric turbulence measurements
to estimate gradients of NH3 deposition to the adjacent fields. The results of these
measurements will provide a mass budget of atmospheric NH3 for a 500 m radius around
the farm. Sampling of storm water flows during and after storm events will measure
removal rates so that an estimate of remaining NH3 in the soil can be made.
Measurements will be performed before (beginning spring 2003) and after
implementation of a proposed alternative waste management system to quantify the
impact ofNH3 emission reductions on local NI13 deposition.
1.2.1 Responsibility
FTIR measurements will be the responsibility of Bruce Hams, Richard Shores, Chester
Vogel and Edgar Thompson. Deposition measurements will be the responsibility of John
Walker. Water sampling will be the responsibility of Lynette Cardoch and Wayne
Fowler. EPA Cinncinnatti personnel will be responsible for collecting pathogen samples.
Environmental Protection Agency contractor personnel, employed with Arcadis, will also
be supporting the measurement program and be the responsibility of the onsite EPA
personnel.
2.0 Experimental Approach
The experimental approach is to measure the fugitive emissions and deposition of
NH3 around the research site prior to and after the installation of an alternative waste
treatment system. The results of this measurement program will provide an assessment
of the alternative waste treatment system efficiency and a reasonable estimate of North
Carolina's ability to reduce NH3 emissions. Water quality data gathered will be added to
existing North Carolina databases.
2.1 Measurements
Open path measurements will be made using Fourier Transformed Infrared
instrumentation both down wind and upwind of the barn/lagoon area source.
Instrumentation includes the FTIR on one side and several mirrors on the other side. The
measurement process is designed to determine the upwind and down wind NH3
concentrations. The difference between the up wind and down wind concentrations is
used to determine the NH3 being released by the farm facility. Figure 1 provides an
example of the instrumentation location based upon the indicated wind direction. Figure

2 provides an example of the vertical scanning technique and the mirror locations_ Figure
3 shows the FTK support trailer and mirrors set up along side a lagoon.
Ammonia deposition will be determined using passive, diffusion -tube samplers
along transects extending outward from the lagoon/housing complex Meteorological
data will be recorded at an onsite station. Turbulence parameters derived from
meteorological data will be combined with atmospheric NH3 concentrations to determine
NH3 deposition. Figure 4 illustrates the spatial sampling design for the NH3 deposition_
Concentrations will be determined at 4 locations (15, 50, 200, and 500 m) along 5
transects extending outward -
Water samples will be collected in the adjoining streams and creek flowing across
the research site. Once collected, the samples will be analyzed offsite in a water analysis
laboratory.
Pathogen samples will be collected on a filter media and these filters would then
be analyzed off site in a analysis laboratory.
2.2 Schedule
Measurements will begin in early March, 2003 and extend for a period of l year
beyond the implementation of an alternative waste management system estimated to be
deployed sometime in the fall of 2003. Barn, lagoon and field air emissions will be
measured at least seasonally by OP-FT1R. Significant storm water run off events will be
sampled automatically as they occur. Throughout the duration of the project, NH3
concentrations will be determined as weekly averages using passive samplers while
meteorological data will be measured continuously and stored as 30 minute averages.
The data will be combined to yield weekly average deposition values. Figure 5 shows the
laboratory trailer that will remain at the research site for the duration of the
measurements.

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 pan of your
plan.
An evaluation by Pat Hooper on 5/13/99 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 Pat Hooper the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to Pat Hooper, at 943 Washington Square
Mall, Washington, NC 27889, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any
questions please contact Pat Hooper at [phone]. If within 90 days you are unable
to provide Pat Hooper 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 DWO 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

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,
SLDI, 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.

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified
rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. 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 wasty,
is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uscs nitro�2er. as 1--he s
limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application
cycle. Annual S011 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 infilitration
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 pre-
cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per
acre 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 the 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.
This plan is based on was application through irrigation for this
is :he manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. if you
choose to inject the waste in the future, you need to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating waste are
not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based or,
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage require-
ments should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste
management facility. Attached you will find information on prope�
sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to
the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0Z17 adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission.

and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acrea3c will be needed for waste application based on

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN' PAGE 7
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
waste water.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of
the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs.
This rate is limited by initial soil moisture contents soil structure,
soil texture, water dropIFO size, and organic solids. The application
amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the
soil at the time or f irigation nor should the plant available nitrogen
applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage
and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every
6 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in
your structure be within 1.7 feet of the top of the dike.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure
that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2. Fai lure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Cal! your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report
for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper
application rate prior to applying the waste.
