THIS TABLE IS NOT NEEDED IF WASTE IS NOT BEING APPLIED BY IRRIGATION, HOWEVER A SIMILAR TABLE
WILL BE NEEDED FOR DRY LITTER OR SLURRY.
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 exceed Elevation 'see lagoon design.
Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil
and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the
waste.
Narrative of operation:
Field 1 will be cut for hay. Overseeding of this field is optional each year.
Fields 2,3 will be planted in row crops each year. Any of the crops listed may be grown, as loner
as at least one of the crops is grown in each field each year. ^

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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.
2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an
agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of
an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the
use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the 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.
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, climatic conditions, and level
of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other
nutrients.
4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste
may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per
year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG
Standard 393 - Filter Strip).
5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
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" for guidance.)
Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff
does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies.
8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.
Page 5

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is
not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage
from animal waste should also be considered.
10 Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a
high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a
minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste
shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking
dormancy.
11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following:
The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a
component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary
and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal
waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be
applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (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.
15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
discharge or by over -spraying. 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 shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water
courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a
manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16 Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall
not be discharged into the animal waste management system.

(continued)
17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced as necessary to
protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc.,
are limited to areas where considered appropriate_ Lagoon areas should be kept mowed
and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of
erosion, leakage or discharge.
18 It animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19 Waste handling structures, piping pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be
kept on site.
20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct
human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human
consumption it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications animal waste
during the crop season.
21 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the
temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be
managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to
mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds.
22 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually
at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining
element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites
shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.
23
Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Sampson County
Dear Johnson Deleon Bass:
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 24, 2003 and in accordance with the directive
of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Johnson
Deleon Bass, 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 AWS820366 which expired on April 30, 2003.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Deleon Bass, located in Sampson County, with an animal capacity of no greater
than an annual average of 1860 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 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. I 'A

Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking
of the facility.
Per NRCS standards a 100 foot separation shall be maintained between water supply wells and any
lagoon or any wetted area of a spray field.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief.
If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after the expiration date of the
General Permit, an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration.
This COC is not automatically transferable. A name/ownership change application must be submitted to
the Division prior to a name change or change in ownership.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to
apply for an individual permit by contacting the staff member listed below for information on this
process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding.

NORTH CAROLINA
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT COMMISSION
DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES
SWINE WASTE OPERATION GENERAL PERMIT
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 1, 2004. Holders of
Certificates of Coverage (COC) under this permit shall comply with the following specified conditions
and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. The animal waste collection, treatment, storage and application system permitted under
this permit shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to
prevent the discharge of pollutants to surface waters, wetlands, or ditches. Application of
waste at agronomic rates to terraces and grassed waterways is acceptable in accordance
with Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS) Standards. Facilities which are in
compliance with their CAWMP and this permit, which unintentionally discharge as a
result of a storm event greater than the 25-year, 24-hour storm, will not be considered to
be in violation of this permit.
2. The CAWMP is hereby incorporated by reference into this general permit. New or
expanding farms are required to be certified prior to the stocking of animals. The
CAWMP must be consistent with all applicable statutes, rules and standards in effect at
the time of siting, design and certification of the facility. Any violation of the CAWMP
shall be considered a violation of this general permit and subject to enforcement actions.
A violation of the General Permit may result in the Permittee having to take immediate or
long term corrective action(s) as required by the Division of Water Quality. These
actions may include modifying the CAWMP, ceasing land application of waste, or
removing animals from the farm.
3. The facility may not be expanded above the capacity shown in the COC until a new COC
reflecting the expansion has been issued.
4. A copy of this General Permit, COC, certification forms, lessee and landowner
agreements, and the CAWMP shall be readily available at the farm (stored at places such
as the farm residence, office, outbuildings, etc.) where animal waste management
activities are being conducted for the life of this permit. These documents shall be kept
in good condition and records shall be maintained in an orderly fashion.
5. For all new and expanding operations, no collection or storage facilities may be
constructed in a 100-year flood plain.
6. Existing swine dry lots may remain in wetlands as long as the wetlands uses are not
removed or degraded as a result of the swine. The swine however may not be confined
within 100 feet of an adjacent stream or a seasonally -flooded area. The swine also must
not cause a loss of more than 10% of the existing tree canopy. Where trees do not exist,
the area must be managed to include crop rotation.

II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The collection, treatment, and storage facilities, and land application equipment and fields
shall be maintained at all times and properly operated.
2. A vegetative cover shall be maintained on all land application fields and buffers in
accordance with the CAWMP. No waste may be applied upon fields not included in the
CAWMP.
3. Lime must be applied, as needed, to maintain soil pH in the optimum range for crop
production.
4. Land application rates shall be in accordance with the CAWMP. In no case shall land
application rates exceed the Plant Available Nitrogen rate for the receiving crop or result
in runoff during any given application.
Application of animal waste onto land which is used to grow crops for direct human
consumption (e.g., strawberries, melons, lettuce, cabbage, apples, etc.) shall not occur
following the planting of the crop or at any time during the growing season, or in the case
of fruit bearing trees, following breaking dormancy. Application of animal wastes shall
not occur within 30 days of the harvesting of fiber and food crops for direct human
consumption that undergo further processing.
6. If manure or sludges are applied on conventionally tilled bare soil, the waste shall be
incorporated into the soil within two (2) days after application on the land. This
requirement does not apply to no -till fields, pasture, or fields where crops are actively
growing.
7. Domestic and/or industrial wastewater from showers, toilets, sinks, etc. shall not be
discharged into the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and application system.
Washdown of stock trailers, owned by and used to transport animals to and from this
farm only, will be permissible as long as the system can accommodate the additional
volume. Only those detergents and disinfectants that are labeled by the manufacturer as
readily biodegradable may be utilized.
8. Disposal of dead animals shall be done in accordance with the North Carolina
Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (NCDACS) Veterinary Division's
regulations.
9. Unless accounted for in temporary storage volume, all uncontaminated runoff from the
surrounding property and buildings shall be diverted away from the animal waste lagoons
and storage ponds to prevent any unnecessary addition to the liquid volume in the
structures.
10. A protective vegetative cover shall be established and maintained on all lagoon/storage
pond embankments (outside toe of embankment to maximum pumping elevation), berms,
pipe runs, and surface water diversions. Trees, shrubs, and other woody vegetation shall
not be allowed to grow on the lagoon/waste storage pond embankments. All trees shall
be removed in accordance with good engineering practices. Lagoon/waste storage pond
areas shall be accessible, and vegetation shall be kept mowed.
11. At the time of sludge removal from a lagoon, the sludge must be managed in accordance
with a CAWMP. When removal of sludge from the lagoon is necessary, provisions must
be taken to prevent damage to lagoon dikes and liners.
2

12. Lagoons/storage ponds shall be kept free of foreign debris including, but not limited to,
tires, bottles, light bulbs, gloves, syringes or any other solid waste.
13. The facility must have one of the following items at all times (a) adequate animal waste
application and handling equipment, (b) a lease, or other written agreement, for the use of
the necessary equipment, (c) a contract with a third party applicator capable of providing
adequate waste application, or (d) a contract for the purchase of the equipment.
Equipment shall be capable of meeting permit condition II (4).
III. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
An inspection of the waste collection, treatment, and storage structures and runoff control
measures shall be conducted at a frequency to insure proper operation but at least
monthly and after storm events. For example, lagoons, storage ponds, and other
structures should be inspected for evidence of erosion, leakage, damage by animals or
discharge. Any major structural repairs (to lagoons or waste storage ponds) must have
written documentation from a technical specialist certifying proper design and
installation. However, if a piece of equipment is being replaced with a piece of
equipment of the identical specifications, no technical specialist approval is necessary
[i.e. piping, reels, valves, pumps (if the GPM capacity is not being increased or
decreased), etc.].
2. If not already installed at this facility, a waste -level gauge to monitor waste levels shall be
installed within 60 days of issuance of the COC under this general permit. This gauge
shall have readily visible permanent markings indicating the maximum liquid level at the
top of the temporary liquid storage volume, minimum liquid level at the bottom of the
temporary liquid storage volume, top of the dam elevations. Where storage ponds are
utilized, only a gauge indicating the maximum liquid level at the top of the temporary
liquid storage volume and top of dam elevations need be installed. Caution must be taken
not to damage the integrity of the liner when installing the gauge. Waste lagoon and
storage pond levels shall be recorded weekly on forms supplied or approved by the
DWQ. For level gauges already installed, the gauge shall have at a minimum: readily
visible permanent markings indicating the maximum liquid level at the top of the
temporary liquid storage volume and minimum liquid level at the bottom of the
temporary liquid storage volume.
3. A representative Standard Soil Fertility Analysis, including pH, copper, and zinc, shall be
conducted annually on each application field receiving animal waste. The results of these
tests shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for a minimum of three years and shall
be made available to the DWQ upon request.
4. An analysis of the animal waste shall be conducted as close to the time of application as
practical and at least within 60 days (before or after) of the date of application. This
analysis shall include the following parameters:
Nitrogen Zinc
Phosphorous Copper
5. Records, including land application event(s) and removal of solids to an off -site
location(s) records, shall be maintained by the Permittee in chronological and legible
form for a minimum of three years. These records shall be maintained on forms provided
or approved by the DWQ and shall be readily available for inspection.

6. Regional Notification:
The Permittee shall report by telephone to the appropriate Regional Office as soon as
possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of the occurrence
of any of the following events:
a. Failure of any component of the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system resulting in a discharge to surface waters.
b. Any failure of the animal waste treatment and disposal system that renders the facility
incapable of adequately receiving, treating or storing the animal waste and/or sludge.
c. A spill or discharge from a vehicle transporting animal waste or sludge to the land
application field which results in, a discharge to surface waters or an event that poses
a serious threat to surface waters.
d. Any deterioration or leak in a lagoon/storage pond that poses an immediate threat to
the environment.
e. Failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage greater than or equal to that
required in Condition V (3) of this General Permit.
f. Overapplying animal waste either in excess of the limits set out in the CAWMP or
where runoff enters surface waters.
g. Any discharge that bypasses a lagoon/storage pond resulting in a discharge to surface
waters or that poses a serious threat to the environment.
For any emergency which requires immediate reporting after normal business
hours, please contact the Division of Emergency Management at 1-800-858-0368.
The Permittee shall also file a written report to the appropriate DWQ Regional Office of
the occurrence within 5 calendar days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This
report shall outline the actions taken or proposed to be taken to correct the problem and to
ensure that the problem does not recur. The requirement to file a written report may not
be waived by the DWQ Regional Office.
INSPECTIONS
Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the DWQ may, upon
presentation of credentials and in accordance with reasonable and appropriate biosecurity
measures, enter and inspect any property, premises or place on or related to the collection,
treatment, storage and land application system at any reasonable time for the purpose of
determining compliance with this permit; may inspect and obtain a copy of any records
that must be kept under the terms and conditions of this permit; and may obtain samples
of the animal waste, groundwater, soil, plant tissue, or surface water.
GENERAL CONDITIONS
1. The issuance of a COC under this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the
responsibility for damages to surface waters or ground waters resulting from the animal
operation.
2. The Permittee shall designate a certified animal waste management system operator to be
in charge (OIC) of the animal waste management system. The animal waste management
system shall be operated by the OIC or a person under the OIC's supervision.
n

1 3. The maximum waste level in lagoons/storage ponds shall not exceed that specified in the
CAWMP. At a minimum, maximum waste level for lagoons/storage ponds must not
exceed the level that provides adequate storage to contain the 25-year, 24-hour storm
event plus an additional 1 foot of structural freeboard. In addition to the above
requirements, for new and expanding farms with lagoon designs completed after
September 1, 1996, storage must also be provided for the heavy rainfall factor for lagoons
without an outside drainage area.
In the case of lagoons/storage ponds in series that are gravity fed, the 25-year, 24-hour
storm event and/or the heavy rainfall factor storage requirements for the system may be
designed into the lowest lagoon/storage pond in the system. However, adequate
freeboard must be designed into each of the upper lagoons/storage ponds to allow
sufficient storage to prevent the waste level from raising into the structural freeboard
while the storm water is draining into the lowest lagoon in the system.
4. Should the DWQ have good reason to believe that any activities conducted pursuant to
this permit may cause or contribute any waste, directly or indirectly, to be intermixed
with the waters of the State, the DWQ may require any monitoring (including but not
limited to groundwater, surface water, animal waste, sludge, soil and plant tissue)
necessary to determine the source, quantity, quality, and effect of such waste upon the
waters of the State. Such monitoring, including its scope, frequency, duration and any
sampling, testing, and reporting systems, shall meet all applicable Environmental
Management Commission requirements. "Good Reason" may be based on the findings of
a related Federal, State, Commission or DENR authorized study or report, or other
evidence showing that violations of State water quality standards or other applicable
environmental standards have occurred or may occur.
5. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this permit, the facility's
CAWMP and/or any COC issued under this permit may subject the Permittee to an
enforcement action by the DWQ in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes and
may include the requirement to obtain an individual non -discharge permit and/or the
modification of the animal waste management system
6. The issuance of a COC under this permit does not excuse the Permittee from the
obligation to comply with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances (local,
state, and federal).
7. If animal production ceases, the Permittee shall close the lagoons/storage ponds in
accordance with Natural Resource Conservation Service (MRCS) lagoon/storage pond
closure standards or develop and implement an animal waste management plan in
accordance with NRCS standards. Closure shall also include notifying the DWQ and
submittal of the Animal Waste Storage Pond and Lagoon Closure Report Form to DWQ-
Water Quality Section- Non -Discharge Branch within 15 days of completion of closure.
8. The annual permit fee shall be paid by the Permittee within thirty (30) days after being
billed by the Division. Failure to pay the fee accordingly constitutes grounds for
revocation of the COC granting coverage under this General Permit.
9. Failure of the Permittee to maintain, in full force and effect, lessee and landowner

Amount of waste produced per year---------------: 3534 tons/year
Amount of plant available N (PAN) produced/year-: 4278 lbs./year
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or
groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be use
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the
crops in 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.
Annual soil testa 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:
1. 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.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and
available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at more
than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land
eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than
10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter
strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or
when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may
in runoff to the surface waters which is not allowed under DWO
regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoild drift and
downwind odor problems.
G. 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 not more than 30 days
prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If
you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise
this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are
not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from
your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have

r � ,
Paqe 2
plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be
applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to
be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analyaia content
and the crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the
optimum range for specific crop production.
Thia waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the
requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the
Environmental Management Commission.

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.

The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while
�mEeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require
farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only
addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in
bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing, hay and/or
silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a
height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants
are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain
etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised
not to to let small grain to reach maturity, especially late in
the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain
gets too high and this will definitely interfere with stand of
bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and
less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for
hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you
are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the
season, depending on time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September
or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting.
Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two
inches before drilling for best results.
Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals
under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning may occur in
livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is
recommended.
Acres shown in the tables are considered to be the usable acres
excluding required buffers , filter strips along ditches, odd
areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the field listed may, and most likely will be, more than
the acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization
of animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provision 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. Your production
facility will produce approximately 670 lbs. of plant available
nitrogen per year in the sludge.
If you remove sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately
3348 lbs. of PAN to utilize. assuming you apply this PAN to
hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs. of nitrogen
per acre, you will need 11 acres of land. If you apply the
sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lbs. of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 27 acres of land. Please be aware that these are
only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements
could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil
types, realistic yields, and application methods.

Page 4m, .
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 content,
soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic
solids. The application amount should not exceed the available
water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor
should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen
needs of the crop.
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. Failure to apply the
recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the table may
make this plan invalid.
The following table is provided as a guide for establishing
application rates and amounts.

This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil
assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over
applied. In many situations the application amount shown cannot be

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 instances should the volume of the waste be stored
in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or
one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour
storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to
ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply
the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to
apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the
tables may make this plan invalid.
Call 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.

Dear Johnson Deleon Bass:
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 part of your
plan.
An evaluation by Scott Faircloth on 4/16/99 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 Scott Faircloth the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to Scott Faircloth, at 225 Green Street, Suite
714, Fayetteville, NC 28301, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any
questions please contact Scott Faircloth at [phone]. If within 90 days you are
unable to provide Scott Faircloth 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 retumed 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.

This Ietter 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, DRY], DRY2, DRYS, 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

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
----------------------
Producer-----:Deleon Bass County:Sampson
Name of Farm -:Deleon Bass

Clinton NC 28328
Phone -------- :592-8936
Type Operation-------------:Feed-Fin
Number of Animal ----------- : 1860
Storage Structure ---------- :Anaerobic Lagoon
Method of application ------ :Irrigation
Amount of waste produced per year-------------- 3534 tons/year
Amount of plant available N (PAN) produced/year-: 4278 lbs./year
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or
groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be use
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the
crops in 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.
Annual soil 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:
1. 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.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and
available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at more
than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land
eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than
10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter
strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or
when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may
in runoff to the surface waters which is not allowed under DWO
regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoild drift and
downwind odor problems.
6. 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 not more than 30 days
prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If
you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise
this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are
not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from
your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have

Page 2
plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be
applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to
bo flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content
and the crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the
optimum range for specific crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the
requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the
Environmental Management Commission.

The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while
meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require
farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only
addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in
bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing, hay and/or
silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a
height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants
are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain
etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised
not to to let small grain to reach maturity, especially late in
the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain
gets too high and this will definitely interfere with stand of
bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and
less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for
hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you
are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the
season, depending on time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September
or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting.
bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two
inches before drilling for beat results.
Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals
under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning may occur in
livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is
recommended.
Acres shown in the tables are considered to be the usable acres
excluding required buffers , filter strips along ditches, odd
areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the field listed may, and moat likely will be, more than
the acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization
of animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provision 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. Your production
facility will produce approximately 670 lba. of plant available
nitrogen per year in the sludge.
If you remove sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately
3348 lbs. of PAN to utilize. assuming you apply this PAN to
hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs. of nitrogen
per acre, you will need 11 acres of land. If you apply the
sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lbs. of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 27 acres of land. Please be aware that these are
only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements
could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil
types, realistic yields, and application methods.

Page 4
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 content,
soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic
solids. The application amount should not exceed the available
water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor
should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen
needs of the crop.
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. Failure to apply the
recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the table may
make•.this plan invalid.
The following table is provided as a guide for establishing
application rates and amounts.
Tract Field Soil Crop Applic Applic
No. No. Type Rate Amount
(in/hr) (inches)
7357 1 WaB BH 0.6 1.0

11498 2 WaB C/SB 0.5
11498 2 WaB W 0.5
11498 2 WaB SBDC 0.5
This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil
assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over
applied. In many situations the application amount shown cannot be
applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil
conditions.

Page 5
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and
the temporary storage roust be removed on the average of once every
6 months. In no instances should the volume of the waste be stored
in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or
one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour
storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to
ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply
the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to
apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the
tables may make this plan invalid.
Call 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.

Dear Johnson Deleon Bass:
In accordance with your application received on August 6, 1999, we are forwarding this Certificate of
Coverage (COC) issued to Johnson Deleon Bass, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste
collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit
AWG100000. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to,
the management of animal waste from the Deleon Bass, located in Sampson County, with an animal
capacity of no greater than 1860 Feeder to Finish and the application to land as specified in the Certified
Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until April 30, 2003. 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, with no discharge of wastes to
surface waters. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and
operational information must be established for this farm. Any increase in waste production greater than
the certified design capacity or increase in number of stocked animals above the number authorized by
this COC will require a modification -to the CAWMP and this COC and shall be completed prior to
actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
The facility's CAWMP meets all requirements in place at the time of certification. However, it appears
that the irrigation system on site may not adequately cover all acreage listed in the Waste Utilization
Plan. The owner should begin to address this inconsistency as soon as possible.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
----------------------
Producer---: Deleon Bass County:Sampson
Name of Farm -:Deleon Bass
Location-----:1070 W Nt. Gilead Ch. Rd.
Clinton NC 28328,
Phone -------- :592-8936
Type Operation------------ :Feed -Fin
Number of Animal ----------- : 1860
Storage Structure ---------- :Anaerobic Lagoon
Method of application-= ---- :Irrigation
Amount of waste produced per year---------------: 3534 tons/year
Amount of plant available N (PAN) produced/year-: 4278 lbs./year
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/car
groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be use
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the
crops in 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.
Annual soil 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:
1. 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.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and
available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at more
,than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land
eroding at'5 or more tons per acre annually, but leas than
10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter
strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soil&, when it is raining, or
when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may
An runoff to the surface waters which is not allowed under DWO
regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be 'considered to avoild drift and
downwind odor problems.
G. 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 not more than 30 days
prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If
you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise
this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are
` not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from
your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have

e
Page 2
plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be
applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to
be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content
and the crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the
optimum range for specific crop production,
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the
requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the
Environmental Management Commission.
YOUR WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING:

The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while
meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require
farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only
addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in
bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing, hay and/or
silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a
height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants
are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain
etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised
not to to let small grain to reach maturity, especially late in
the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain
gets too high and this will definitely interfere with stand of
bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and
less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for
hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you
are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the
season, depending on time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September
or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting.
Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two
inches before drilling for beat results.
Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals
under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning may occur in
livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is -
recommended.
Acres shown in the tables are considered to be the usable acres
excluding required buffers , filter strips along ditches, odd
areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the field listed may, and most likely will be, more than
the acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization
of animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provision 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. Your production
facility will produce approximately 670 lbs. of plant available
nitrogen per year in the sludge.
If you remove sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately
3348 lbs. of PAN to utilize. assuming you apply this PAN to
hybrid bermudegresa hayland at the rate of 300 lbs. of nitrogen
per acre, you will need 11 acres of land. If you apply the
sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lbs. of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 27 acres of land. Please be aware that these are
only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements
could vary by 25x depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil
types, realistic yields, and application methods.

Page 4
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 content,
soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic
solids. The application amount should not exceed the available
water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor
should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen
needs of the crop.
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. Failure to apply the
recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the table may
make this plan invalid.
The following table is provided as a guide for establishing
application rates and amounts.

This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil
assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over
applied. In many situations the application amount shown cannot be
applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil
conditions.

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 instances should the volume of the waste be stored
in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or
one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour
storm. i
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to
ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply
the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to
apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the
tables may make this plan invalid.
Call 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.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the.
producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate
land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does
not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall
provide a copy of an aareement with a landowner who is within a
reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for
waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the
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 lard.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the
nitrccTen needs for realistic crop vields based on soil type,
available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and
level of ro=aagement, unless them are regulations that restrict
the rate of aDDlication for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons
per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding
at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year
providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves
the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip)
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after
waste aonlication. Waste should 'not be applied when 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
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" for guidance.)
7. Liauid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed te-soil
inffltration rate such that runoff -does not occur cffsi-te or to
surface waters and in a method which does not cause drifz from
the site during application_ No ponding should occur in order
to control odor or flies.
8= Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall events, or when the sur-ace is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be aDDIied on actively Crowing crops in such
a manner t::at t_^.e crop is not covered with waste to a c_oth that
would, in^ibit arowth.� The potential far silt da��ace frpzn animal
waste s1.cul.d also be considered.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
10. waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for
spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for
leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be
held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crow planted to
take uo released nutrients. waste shall not be applied more
than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking
dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall
comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area
onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of
a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential
property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other
than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than
swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995),
shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters.
(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.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters,
drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by aver -spraying.
Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided
they have been approved as a land application site by a
"technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on
grassed waterways that discharges directly inton water courses,
and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at
agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from
the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities,
showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be 'discharged into the
animal waste management system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be
established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms,
pipe runs, etc.)'. Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to
protect the vegetation.- Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and
other woedv species, etc., are limited to areas where considered
appropriate_ Lacoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible.
Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence
of erosion, leakage or discharge.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
18. if animal production at the facility is to be suspended or
terminated, the owner is resnons-ible for obtaining and
implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erasion.
19. Wasr:e handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should
be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks,
and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on
site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables
and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if
animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it
should only be applied preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and
bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of
all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to
maintain the licruid level between the markers. A marker will
be reo-uired to mark the maximum storage volume for waste
storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil
shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste
products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining
element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be
monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when then
metals approach excessive levels. ph shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste
analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry
waste application records shall be maintained -for three (3)
years.Waste application records for all other waste shall be
maintained for five (S) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North
Carolina regulations.

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your
operation ar•e leaking, overflowing, or running off the site. You should
NOT wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave your property to
consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to
ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an
accessible location for all employees at the facility. The following
are some action items you should take.
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may
or may not be possible. Suggested responses to problems are
listed below:
A. Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are:
a. Add &oil to berm to increase elevation of dam, any
permanent alteration of the dam should be approved by a
qualified technical specialist.
b. Pump wastes to field at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all additional flow to the lagoon -hold waste in the
house if possible.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
S. Runoff from waste application field -action include:
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the
waste.
c. Incorporate waste to reduce further runoff.
d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that caused the
runoff.
e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where
runoff occurred.
C. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers -action include:
a. Stop recycle (flushing system) pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Close valves to eliminate further discharge.
e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
D. Leakage from flush system, houses, solids separators -actions
include: t
a. Stop recycle (flushing system) pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Make sure no siphon effect has been created.
d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid
separators.
e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.

E. Leakage from base or aidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage
as opposed to flowing leaks -possible action:
a. Dig a small sump or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a
submersible pump, and pump back into lagoon.
b. If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove
animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil.
c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side
walls and the lagoon bottom as soon as possible.
2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a. Did the waste reach any surface waters?
b. Approximately how much was released and for what
duration?
c. Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or
property damage?
d. Did the spill leave the property?
e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface
waters?
f. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach
surface waters?
g. Are potable water wells in danger (either on or off of
the property)?
h. How much reached surface waters?
3. Contact appropriate agencies.
a. During normal business hours, call your DWO (Division of
Water ❑uality) regional office, at 910-486-1541, after
hours, emergency number:1-800-858-0368. Your phone call
should include: YOUR NAME, FACILITY, TELEPHONE NUMBER,
THE DETAILS OF THE INCIDENT FROM ITEM #2 ABOVE, THE
EXACT LOCATION OF THE FACILITY, AND THE LOCATION OR

b. If spill leaves property or enters surface waters, call
local (EMS) Emergency Management Services at
910-592-8996.
c. Instruct EMS to contact local Health Department.
d. Contact local Soil and Water Conservation District
(SWCD), Natural Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS) office at 910-592-7963 and Cooperative Extension
Service (CES) at 910-592-7161 for advice/technical
assistance.
4. If none of the above works call 911 or the sheriffs Department
and explain your problem to them and ask that person to contact
the proper agencies for you.

RP-G. OFFICE
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study
Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly,
requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more
swine by January 1, 1997. 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.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this requirement please
call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt of our staff at 919n33-0026.

SUBJECT: Animal Waste Spillage
Farm #82-366
Clinton, North Carolina
Sampson County
Dear Mr. Bass:
On Thursday, October 12, 2000, you notified this office about a situation
you observed at your hog farm (Farm #82-366) located offBeamon's Wood
Road. You indicated that when you arrived at the farm at 7:45 AM, a discharge of
hog waste was observed leaking from the entry door in the middle hog house.
The discharge had flowed into an adjacent rainwater diversion ditch near the back
of this facility. You indicated that something had blocked a discharge pipe (such
as hard feed, a piece of wood, etc.) to prevent the discharge flush from flowing
into the waste lagoon. The waste backed up in the building and began flowing
between the cracks around the entry door and into the diversion ditch.
You contained the wastewater in the ditch with soil and you took the
necessary steps to unstop the blockage.
1, along with Mrs. Belinda Henson of the Fayetteville Office, met with you
on the above date to observe the subject spill. No surface waters were involved
in this discharge.
It appears that you took all the appropriate steps to stop the discharge once
you observed its occurrence. This discharge was definitely an accident and not an
intentional act.

You were advised that the diversion ditch needed to be cleaned, new soil added, reseeded
and mulched to eliminate sediment erosion. Once this is finalized, no further action appears
necessary.
