The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where 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 be applied to land eroding at less 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 14 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 result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. RECEIVED / DENR / DWQ AQU1 FR'PR()TFrTi0N SECTION APR 0 6 2000 Page: 1 ANIMAL MASTS UTILIZATION PLAN 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid 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 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 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. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, toils, etc.) 3552 pigs x .40 tons waste/pigs/year = 1420.8 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 3552 pigs x .48 lbs PAN/pigs/year = 1704.96 lbs. PAN/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. The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

APPLIC METH N TIME END TOTAL I 0 Indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. interplanted) or winter annuals follow summer annuals. 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 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.

Acres shown in each of the preceding 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 fields 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 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. Your production facility will produce approximately 269.952 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 1349.76 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 4.4992 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 10.79808 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25t depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. 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 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and Page: 6 M ANIMIlL PASTE UTILIZATION PLAN amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts. Tract Field Soil Type Crop Application Rate (in/hr) Applic.

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 180.00 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6.00 months. In no instance 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 Tables 1 and 2. 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.

APPLIC METH N TIME EM V6 Indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. interplanted) or winter annuals follow summer annuals. 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 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. 4 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN ** Acreage figures may exceed total acreage in fields due to overseeding. * lbs AW N (animal waste nitrogen) equals total required nitrogen less any commercial nitrogen (COMM N) supplied.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN *** This number must be less than or equal to 0 in order to fully utilize the animal waste N produced. Acres shown in each of the preceding 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 fields 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 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. Your production facility will produce approximately 269.952 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge_ ~' If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 1349.76 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 4.4992 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 10.79808 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25!k depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. 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 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and ANIMAL WAST$ UTILIZATION PLAIT amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts. Tract Field Soil Type Crop Application Rate (in/hr) Applic. Amount (inches) 7976 1 NOA BC 0.5 *1.0 7976 1 MaA BC 0.40 *1.0 7976 SG 0.40 *1.0 * 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 180.00 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage muot be removed on the average of once every 6.00 months_ In no instance 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 Tables 1 and 2. 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. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 999PIRED SPECIFICATiON3 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 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. 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, 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 14 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. 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. 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. 9. 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. 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 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 a discharge or by over --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 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. 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. VUJSTE UTILIZATION PLAN 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a °closure plane which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19. Waste handling be inspected o n 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 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 soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these 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 (5 ) years . 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. r_--- -2n ANIBIAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Name of Farm:CAULDER FARM INC.

AWC -- August 1,1997 6 • -NIt ` .R fir Woodchuck The Woodchuck is known by many local names, among the best known being ground hog, whistle pig. and eastern marmot. The woodchuck Is a member of the widely distributed marmot clan, and is actually a big, clumsy, ground dwelling member of the Scluridae, or squirrel family. It seems somewhat odd to associate the small -tailed, heavy -bodied burrow -digging woodchuck with the large -tailed, slender, tree -climbing fox or red squirrel, but If we remember also the various chipmunks, gophers, and ground squirrels the transition is easier to understand. The woodchuck occasionally reminds us rather sharply of his squirrel ancestry by clim- bing a tree to escape dogs or to keep a better lookout over his home territory. Woodchucks may be called typical hiber- nators, or winter sleepers. When the tem- perature begins to drop in late fap, about November, the woodchuck, fat as a Thanksgiving turkey, crawls down to his underground hole, pulls the hole In after him by caving in the dirt in the passage to the nest, and goes to sleep for the winter. During this period of hibernation, nothing is eaten, so that no fuel is received to be converted Into bodily heat by the oxidation of the blood through breathing; on the contrary, the lungs almost cease to work. There is an occasional respiration -a sighing Inhalation of breath -but most of the time the only oxygen in the lungs Is the trifle reaching them by the slow heart beats, and by the diffusion of gases. Contrary to tradition, woodchucks do not emerge from their winter sleep promp- ly at sunrise of February second, to watch for their shadows on the snow or earth as the case may be. They do seem to become restless and awaken more and more frequently during late winter and early spring, finally coming out to et��i 1.rr�nn }l�n inn»• in gcnn ...1 +`ndc n e'z- 110•4r. tip ;yon /17 T d 0� Vol To xr.

The plant nutrients in the animal -waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where 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 be applied to land eroding at less 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 result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. f. Page: 1 ANnM WASTE VrMmATrox PLAN S. Wind conditions should also -be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. r 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 diskain'g 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 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 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.

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 situatibn, 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.

SLUDGE APPLICATION: 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. Your production facility will produce approximately 269.952 pounds.. -of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 1349.76 pounds of PAN' to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid, bermudagrass hayland at the•rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 4.4992 acres of land. if you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 10.79808 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. 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 shouldthe 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 isinstalled to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and t Page: 6 MMML WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

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 appliedpreplant with no further applications of animal waste during ti 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 soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. -pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained.

Woodchucks may be called typical hiber- nators, or winter sleepers. When the tem- perature bacgiris to drop in late fall, about November, the woodchuck, fat as a Thanksgiving turkey, crawls down to his undorgrourid hole, pulis.the We in after him by caving in the dirt in the passage to the nest, and gues to sleep for the winter.

Pb QPEMATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN ------------------------------ MID lagcran Is dee3193led for waste treatment with minimum odor control. The time required for the planned fluid level to be - reached may vary due to soil' conditions, flushing operations, and " the amount of fresh water added to.the system. Land application of waste Water is -recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application Include solid seat, center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be e taken when applying waste to prevent runoff from the field or damage to craps. Files Yellowing items are to be carried out: "'✓ l4. 1s--- xt is strongly recommended that the treatment,lagoon be -pre - charged 'to 1/2'Its capacity, to prevent excessive odgr-*during- Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby. reducing odors. Solids should be covered With effluent at all times. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see Attachment H) before land application. Begin%out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva, ions marked by permanent markers. step pump -out when thed fluilevdl:' reaches elevation' or before fluid depth in ,;•- less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the lose of favorable bacteria). . 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (11 inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.4 inch per hoar. S. Keep'Vi3getation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon motored annually_ Vegetation should be fertilized as needed a to maintain a vigorous stand. 6_ Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and establish in vegetation. ;. 7. -All ourface•-rurnsf-f is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets. 8. The Clean Hater Act -..of 1977 prohibits the discharge of - pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of Envirorment, f;ealth, and Natural Resourceta, Division of Environ- rncntal Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.
