Based, in part, on the November 28, 2007 conversation with Mr. Scott Alons, MRCS District Technician, the following findings have been made regarding the current state of operations at your facility. • In support of State Regulation 15A NCAC 2T .1300, technical guidance has been developed regarding the inactivation of previously permitted swine operations. Specifically, until a lagoon closure plan has been approved and the required actions completed, the farm owner remains subject to enforcement actions resulting from lagoon discharges. • The contents of a proper lagoon closure plan can be found in the Natural Resource Conservation Service Standard No. 360; please consult a technical specialist who is qualified to develop and implement this standard for the three (3) lagoon system on your farm. • Until a suitable method of lagoon closure has been completed, you are responsible for providing documentation that periodic, visual inspections have occurred for each of the three (3) lagoons at your facility. Additionally, you are responsible for making repairs to these structures when necessary to prevent discharges to surface waters or wetlands.

Conversation with Mr. Scott Aions, District Technician indicates that owner Mr. Ray Godfrey has been in conversations regarding lagoon closures, but cost has been an issue in determining the proper remediation approach. There are no current plans to continue animal operations. Based on faxed information from Mr. Alons, the official request date to de -list this farm from DWQ records was Sept 7, 1999. Based on the fact that this farm has not had animals onsite for greater than four years, the permittee would have to re -apply for a new non -discharge permit before any re -stocking could occur. Therefore, it is recommended that the Permittee continue to weekly inspect for and repair, as needed, any seepage or spills from the tertiary lagoon system. This process must continue until the lagoons are properly closed, which (at a minimum) would consist of the following: 1) a grid survey of each lagoon to determine the amount of sludge present --all of which must be removed; 2) a waste analysis of any lagoon sludge found is to be conducted within 60 days of removal; 3) DWQ must be notified no later than twenty four (24) hours before sludge removal; 4) based upon the nitrogen composition of any remaining liquid volume, a decision can be made as to whether natural lagoon "settling" is an acceptable remediation method, and 5) a lagoon closure plan (signed by landowner and technical specialist) must be delivered to the DWQ no later than 15 days, post lagoon closure date. Please use MRCS Standard 360 for closure of the three lagoon system.

The following deficiencies were observed during the inspection. 1. The Certified Waste Management Plan did not contain all the required components. Please find attached a list of the required components and consult with the County NRCS office for assistance to compile the necessary components. Some of the necessary items are: certification form, site schematic, design needs (storage), measurements and calculated volumes, runoff control measures, parameters for existing irrigation system, operation and maintenance plan, records (application records, waste and soil analysis), emergency action plan, odor control, insect control and disposal of mortality. 2. Signs of erosion were noted in various locations on the dike wall. These areas should be filled in and re -seeded. 3. Small trees were noted growing on the dike wall. The dike wall should be maintained regularly to prevent tree growth and heavy vegetation from developing which hinders you from conducting a thorough inspection of the integrity of the dike wall. 4. Cows have access to the lagoons. The cows should be fenced away from the lagoon areas. Farm animals tend to create trails along the dike wall which prevents vegetative growth and stress weak spots along the dike wail. 943 Washingtnn Square Mall, Washington, NC 27899 Telephone 919/946-6481 FAX 919/975-3716 An equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled 10% post-consurnar paper Mr. Sonny Godfrey Sunray Farm Perquimans County April 17, 1997 Page Two 5. Irrigation records need to be kept. Please find attached copies of some irrigation forms. 6. The last lagoon had a marker, however all lagoons must have the minimum and maximum markers. Please note that it is beneficial to operate closer to the minimum point of the marker instead of the maximum end. This method will provide you will more storage during the times you need it the most. 7. It is suggested to update the waste utilization plan to include the sixth hydrant and irrigation area. Please note it would be to your advantage to include any other land area that you may want to use for irrigation in the future. It is very important as the owner and the Operator in Charge that you resolve these aforementioned deficiencies and any other problems that may arise, as soon as possible.

A concluding visit was made November 28, 2007 to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS) office in Elizabeth City. Based, in part, on the November 28, 2007 conversation with Mr. Scott Alons, NRCS District Technician, the following findings have been made regarding the current state of operations at your facility. • In support of State Regulation 15A NCAC 2T .1300, technical guidance has been developed regarding the inactivation of previously permitted swine operations. Specifically, until a lagoon clost.u•e plan has been approved and the required actions completed, the farm owner remains subject to enforcement actions resulting from lagoon discharges. • The contents of a proper lagoon closure plan can be found in the Natural Resource Conservation Service Standard No. 360; please consult a technical specialist who is qualified to develop and implement this standard for the three (3) lagoon system on your farm. • Until a suitable method of lagoon closure has been completed, you are responsible for providing documentation that periodic, visual inspections have occurred for each of the three (3) lagoons at your facility. Additionally, you are responsible for making repairs to these structures when necessary to prevent discharges to surface waters or wetlands.

VI. PENALTIES Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this General Permit; the facility's CDC; the facility's CAWMP; and/or applicable state law; may subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division including but not limited to the modification of the animal waste management system, civil penalties, criminal penalties and injunctive relief. The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this General Permit. Any permit noncompliance 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 retsewal application. 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 General Permit. V11. 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 land applied to lands as contained in the nutrient management standard of the USDA Soil Conservation Service Technical Guide Section IN' or as recommended by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service at the time of certification of the Animal Vlaste Management Plan by the appropriate technical specialist. 12 June 4, 2004 Permit Number AWG100000 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%4 criteria stated above. • When a CAWMP cannot meet N utilization requirements clue to land lost to irrigation inefficiency (useable versus total acres), then the CAWIv1P 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 ]and 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 nonnal 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. 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 ponding also means any areas where the Ponding of waste has resulted in crop failure. G roundwaters means anv subsurface waters, as defined in 15A NCAC '?L -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. 13 Tune 4, 2004 Permit Number AWG100000 Revision to the CAWMP means a change to an entire CAWYT to meet current applicable standards. A CAbi'MP 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, groundwaters 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.

Conversation with Mr. Scott Alens, District Technician indicates that owner Mr. Ray Godfrey has been in conversations regarding lagoon closures, but cost has been an issue in determining the proper remediation approach. There are no current plans to continue animal operations. Based on faxed information from Mr. Alons, the official request date to de -list this farm from DWQ records was Sept 7, 1999. Based on the fact that this farm has not had animals onsite for greater than four years, the permittee would have to re -apply for a new non -discharge permit before any re -stacking could occur. Therefore, it is recommended that the Permittee continue to weekly Inspect for and repair, as needed, any seepage or spills from the tertiary lagoon system. This process must continue until the lagoons are properly closed, which (at a minimum) would consist of the following: 1) a grid survey of each lagoon to determine the amount of sludge present --ail of which must be removed; 2) a waste analysis of any lagoon sludge found is to be conducted within 60 days of removal; 3) DWQ must be notified no later than twenty four (24) hours before s#udge removal; 4) based upon the nitrogen composition of any remaining liquid volume, a decision can be made as to whether natural lagoon "settling" is an acceptable remediation method, and 5) a lagoon closure plan (signed by landowner and technical specialist) must be delivered to the DWQ no later than 15 days, post lagoon closure date. Please use NRCS Standard 360 for closure of the three lagoon system.

E., Director Division of Water Quality October 1, 2004 Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. AWS720027 Sunray Farm Swine Waste Collection, Treatment, Storage and Application System Perquimans County On June 11, 2004, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued a revised State General Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733 (Session Law 2003-28). In accordance with your application received on February 11, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Earl Ray Godfrey, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWGI00000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS720027 which expires October 1, 2004. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Sunray Farm, located in Perquimans County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 250 Farrow 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 September 30, 2009. 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 State General Permit. Since this is a revised State General Permit, it contains new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the previous State General Permit.

Routine maintenance is considered to be normal good care of the system. Good maintenance adds to beauty, usefulness, and permanence. A. Maintenance The routine maintenance of the lagoon involves the following: 1. Maintenance of a vegetative cover on the embankment top and side slopes:-,Pe-5C-ke- is being established on these areas. Beginning in 19y`3 and each year thereafter, the embankment should be fertilized with Boo pounds of 10-10-10 per acre to maintain a vigorous stand. 2. Control of brush and trees on the embankment. This may be done by mowing, spraying, or chopping, or a combination of all three. This will need to be done at least once each year and possibly twice in years favorable to heavy growth of vegetation. Maintenance inspections of the lagoon should be made during the initial filling of the lagoon and at least annually. Items to be checked should include, as a minimum, the following: 1. Waste Inlet Pipes, Overflow Pipes a. condition of pipes (1) separation of joints (2) cracks or breaks 2. Pool Area a. undesirable vegetative growth b. floating or lodged debris 3. Embankment a. settlement, cracking or "jug" holes b. side slope stability - slumps or bulges C. erosion and rodent damage 4. Transfer Pump 1 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN FOR SWINE WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM B. Operation Your animal waste management facility was designed for a total of 2� sows (4,r0w to 411, s 1) . The lagoon contains both permanent and temporary storage. The permanent storage is not to be pumped in order to ensure that anaerobic action will occur. The design includes permanent storage of one cubic foot per pound of steady state live weight. The temporary storage portion QQf the lagoon includes capacity for the volume of waste produced over`/`�-e-6 days, the amount of rainfall in a 25 year 24 hour storm event, and rainfall in excess of evaporation. Your facility is designed for5'14-0 days of temporary storage; therefore, it will need to be pumped every six months. Begin pump - out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches elevation ,21_s as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches elevation 30.1 The attached waste management plan should be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see Attachment B) before land application. The waste material should be analyzed before each application cycle to determine its nutrient content. A soil test of the area of application should be made annually to insure the waste is applied as reasonably and practically possible to recommended rates. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre -charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during start-up. Pre - charging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent at all times. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law. 2 THIS DESIGN IS FOR A SINGLE STAGE LAGOON .r CLIENTS NAME COUNTY TODAYS DATE DISTANCE TO NEAREST NONFARM RESIDENCE => NUMBER OF PIGS WEANLING TO FEEDER NUMBER OF PIGS FEEDER TO FINISH =======> NUMBER OF SOWS FARROW TO WEANLING NUMBER OF SOWS FARROW TO FEEDER NUMBER OF SOWS FARROW TO FINISH DEGREE OF ODOR CONTROL (minimum 1.0 cu. ft. per lb SSLW) (maximum 3.0 cu. ft. per lb SSLW) NUMBER OF YEARS OF SLUDGE ACCUMULATION > TOP LENGTH AT NORMAL WATER LEVEL TOP WIDTH AT NORMAL WATER LEVEL NORMAL WATER LEVEL ELEVATION ==_ ======> SEASONAL HIGH WATER TABLE ELEVATION =__> LAGOON BOTTOM ELEVATION Depth of Permanent Water 7.2 (minimum depth without sludge = 6 feet) (minimum depth with sludge = 8 feet) SIDE SLOPES Permanent Volume Required 169500.0 Permanent Volume Provided 169590.0 ADDITIONAL DRAINAGE AREA IN SQUARE FEET> (i.e. pumpout pond & other outside area) LENGTH OF PUMPING CYCLE GALLONS OF FRESH WATER ADDED DAILY ====> EXCESS RAINFALL ABOVE EVAPORATION 25YR/24HR STORM RAINFALL FREEBOARD ESTIMATED TOP OF DAM ELEVATION Temporary Storage Volume 63421.2 Top of Inside Length Sun -Ray Farms Perquimans County, NC September 9, 1993 2000 FEET 250 1200 0 0 0 1.0 0.0 YEARS 374.6 FEET 79.6 FEET 20.1 FEET 19.6 FEET 12.9 FEET feet 2.0.1 cubic feet cubic feet 0 SQUARE FEET 90 DAYS 0 GALLONS 7.4 INCHES 7.0 INCHES 1.0 FEET 23.2 FEET cubic feet Dam Elevation = 23.2 feet Dimensions of Lagoon at Top of Dam = 387.0 feet Width = 92.0 feet.

Easley, Governor William G. Ross Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Alan W. Klimek, P. E., Director Division of Water Quality May 1, 2003 Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. AWS720027 Sunray Farm Swine Waste Collection, Treatment, Storage and Application System Perquimans County On April 28, 2003, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the Division of Water Quality (Division) to extend the expiration date of the Swine Waste Operation General Permit AWG100000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit. In accordance with your application received on February 11, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Earl Ray Godfrey, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS720027 which expired on April 30, 2003. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not Iimited to, the management of animal waste from the Sunray. Farm, -located in Perquimans County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 250 Farrow 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 October 1, 2004. 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. 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.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops on 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 and annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crops 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 or on land 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 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. Actual acreage requirements may be more or less and 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. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. WUP - 1 WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR SWINE OPERATION Amount of waste produced per year: 250 animal units X 10,481 gallons waste/animal unit/year = 2,620,250 gallons waste/year = approximately 97 ac. ins. Amount of nitrogen produced per year: 250 animal units X 26lbs. N/animal unit/year = 6500 lbs. N/year. Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.

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. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NSCS with a copy of a written agreement lsample Enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. 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, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. Earl Ray Godfrey, Owne Date Bill Blackwell, Tech. Spec. Date WISP -- 3 � 6R116 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.] 5. Odors can be reduced be injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. 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" in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such 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 conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or if the soil surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered by solids. 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with 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 on bare soil. 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (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. WUP - 4 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a discharge or by overspraying. 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 should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and only then at agronomic rates provided the application 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. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to the one (1 ) foot mandatory freeboard. 18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and 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. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 19. 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. 20. 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. Your facility is designed for 90 days of temporary storage and should have the temporary storage removed on the average every 3 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 21.5. Call the Natural Resources Conservation Service or Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report to obtain assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the application rate prior to applying the waste. NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Narrative of Operation: Follow the technical data which is attached to your machine or in your operator's manual on speed and pressure for application amounts. Follow the attached specification guide for guidelines on when and low to land apply. Do not apply over ditches or within 10' of a ditch. WUP - 5 . sons WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEMENT I (We) understand, will implement and follow the specifications and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above. I (We) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and/or storage system or construction of new facilities will require a new utilization plan and a new certification to be submitted to DEM before the new animals are stocked. I (We) also understand that there must be no discharge of animal waste from this system to surface waters of the state for any reason except storm events as severe as the 25-year, 24-hour storm or greater.

Telephone: 919-264-2675 Type Operation: SWINE FARROW TO FINISH Number of Animal Units: 250 SOWS The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or ground water. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops on 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 and annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crops 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 or on land 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 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. Actual acreage requirements may be more or less and 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. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. Beginning in 1996 the Coastal Zone Management Act will require farmers in some eastern counties of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This waste utilization plan only addresses Nitrogen. 1/ See footnote for Table 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 which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample Enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. 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, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. WUP - 3 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.] 5. Odors can be reduced be injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. 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" in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such 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 conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or if the soil surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered by solids. 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with 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 on bare soil. 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (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. WUP - 4 sane f 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a discharge or by overspraying. 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 should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and only then at agronomic rates provided the application 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. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. 1 B. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and 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. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 19. 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. 20. 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. Your facility is designed for 90 days of temporary storage and should have the temporary storage removed on the average every 3 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 21.5. Call the Natural Resources Conservation Service or Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report to obtain assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the application rate prior to applying the waste. NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Narrative of Operation: Follow the technical data which is attached to your machine or in your operator's manual on speed and pressure for application amounts. Follow the attached specification guide for guidelines on when and low to land apply. Do not apply over ditches or within 10' of a ditch.

Additional information is required before we can continue our review. Please address the following by January 21, 1999: Please clarify the number of lagoons in use at this facility. Your application states that there are three (3) Iagoons on site, however lagoon capacity documentation (design, as - built calculations, etc.) was only submitted for two lagoons. If the third lagoon is in use, please submit capacity documentation, if it is no longer used for waste treatment, you should either develop a closure plan or management plan for the out of use lagoon. Please submit whichever documentation is appropriate for this lagoon. 2. The irrigation parameters listed in your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) exceed current recommendations. Irrigation events are to be listed in the WUP as the maximum application allowable for that soil type from the time the pumps are turned on until the time they are shut off. The application events listed in your WUP appear to be out of the Sprinkler Irrigation Guide. The Application Amounts listed in this guide have not been adjusted for the application of animal waste. It is currently recommended that total application amounts not exceed one inch in any application event for any soil type. If your application rates need to be adjusted for the application of animal waste, please have your Technical Specialist revise your WUP to reflect the appropriate application amount per event. If the rates exceed the recommended one inch, please have your Technical Specialist justify the increased application rate in the narrative of your WUP. 3. Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) list the Yield for Corn on Tract 1342 as 130 bushels per acre. This is higher than currently recommended. Please contact your technical specialist to revise the Waste Utilization Plan or provide justification that supports the increased yield as shown in the current WUP. Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist. Please note that all NVU-P revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist. Please reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. All information should be signed, sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below. The information requested by this letter, must be submitted on or before January 21, P.O.

If nutrients from other sources such as commercial fertilizer are applied, they must be accounted for. Total N must be based on realistic crop yield expectation. NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. Beginning in 1996 the Coastal Zone Management Act will require farmers in some eastern counties of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This waste utilization plan only addresses Nitrogen. 1/ See footnote for Table 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 which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample Enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. 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, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. _441fg 9 Earl Ray Godfrey, Owne Date Bill Blackwell, Tech.

The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H _0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty. If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office. Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.
