Murphy Farms is not aware of any structural issues at this farm. Visual inspection on 617141 revealed no erosion or structural issues at this farm. Issues Compliance inspections noted concerns with weeds in spray fields Murphy Farms is not aware of any cropping issues on this site with excellent bermuda grass. Visual inspection on 617101 reveled an excellent stand of bermudagrass and matuagrass as called for in the CAWMP ' Concerns are based upon DWQ records consisting of deficiencies noted in state inspection reports, NOVs, penalty assessments and/or reports submitted to DWQ by the farm. Carefully review your records to identify the specific concern or concerns and then describe the concern under the appropriate heading together with a reference to the specific record and the date of the record (i.e., inspection report dated or NOV dated ___). With the exception of "discharges," which cover calendar year 2000, concerns are based on DWQ records for the calendar years beginning January 1, 1996, and ending December 31, 2000. ` Describe in as much detail as possible how the concern has been addressed, or, if it has not been addressed, the measures the farm intends to undertake to address the concern and a schedule for completing the measures. 3 If subsurface drains are present, state whether you know that the drain(s) is discharging groundwater uncontaminated by hog waste, and if so, the basis for that conclusion. 3 State of North Carolina Department of EOrironment and Natural Resource* Michael F. Easley, Governor William G. Ross Jr., Secretary, Gregory J. Thorpe, Ph.D., Acting Director CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED Murphy Farms Harrells Farm PO Box 759 Rose Hill NC 28448 Dear Murphy Farms: NCDENR NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENV{RONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES February 4, 2002 Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination Animal Waste Management System Harrells Farm Facility Number 82-28 Sampson County 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 Trent Allen on 2/11/99 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 Trent Allen the necessary information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre determination. Please submit this information to Trent Allen, 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 Trent Allen at (910) 486-1541. If within 90 days you are unable to provide Trent Allen 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. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone 919-733-5083 Fax 919-715-6048 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycledl10% post -consumer paper Notification for Wettable Afire Determination Animal Waste Management System Page 2 Category 2: Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this designation, or a Professional Engineer. All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWQ 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.

The time required for the planned fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days of temporary storage for: (1) manure production of animals, (2) excess fresh water storage, (3) rainfall in excess of evaporation, (4) storage for the 25 year / 24 hour storm for the location, (5) and, if applicable, an additional "heavy rain" storage volume for chronic rainfall events. Allocation for any additional fresh water usage is also included in the temporary storage. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available. A staff gauge must be installed in the lagoon that indicates the start pumping and stop pumping levels. The start pumping level is the maxium liquid level under normal operating conditions. The stop pumping level is the minimum liquid level under normal operation to maintain required treatment volume and depth. Pumping can be started and stopped anywhere between these two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without runoff or leaching. However, it is recommended that the lagoon be kept pumped down as much as possible. Land application of wastewater is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling guns. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops. The following items are to be,carried out: 1. it is required that the treatment lagoon be precharged to one—half the treatent volume or as otherwise specified on the lagoon design drawings before wastes are introduced. The purpose is to prevent excessive odors during start --up. Precharging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete, flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after initial filling. 2. The attached Waste Utilization Plan shall be followed. The plan recommends sampling and testing of waste before land application. murpny r -amity t-anns Engineering P.O.

Begin temporary storage pump—out of the lagoon when the fluid level reaches the elevation 105.70 as marked by the staff gauge. Stop pump—out when the fluid level reaches elevation 103.70. This temporary storage, less 25 year / 24 hour storm, contains 133494 cubic feet or 998531 gallons. 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 inches per hour. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details. ' 5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. 6. Repair any eroded or damaged areas and establish in vegetation. 7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets. 8. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall be applied in a manner such that waste will not reach other property and public rights—of—way. 9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. Waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by either discharge or by over—spraying. The Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law. Murpny t-amflry t -arms tngineenng P.C.

Earthfill material shall be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen soil, stones over 6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent they are suitable, excavated material may be used as fill. The fill shall be brought up in approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9 inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading equipment or standard tamping roller or equivalent method. Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectable. NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials from the required excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height with an impoundment capacity of 10 acre --feet or more fall under the jurisdiction of the NC Dam Safety Law and require permitting by the NC Dept. of Environment, Health and Natural Resources, Land Quality Section. The height is defined as the difference in elevation from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike. Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED CLAY LINER THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.5 FT. NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN INDICATED ON THE DRAWINGS OR WHEN MATERIAL IS ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION THAT WILL NOT PROVIDE THE PERMEABILITY LIMITS AS STATED LATER IN THIS SE-T[ON. SUCH MATERIAL IS CONSIDERED UNSUITABLE WITH RESPECT TO LINING. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER IS INCLUDED IN THE DRAWINGS WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED. Murphy Family Farms Engineering P.O.

The foundation shall be backfilled as specified to grade with a material approved by the engineer or his representative. REFER TO THE DRAWINGS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS. Soil liner material shall come from an approved borrow area. The minimum moisture content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture content which relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneaded in the hand it will form a ball which does not readily separate. Water shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture content during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner material shall not be less than optimum moisture content during placement. The maximum moisture content relates to the soil material being too wet for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Proper compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and compacted to at least 95 percent of the Standard Proctor Maximum Dry Density (ASTM D698) of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous lift shall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement of the next lift. The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted permeability of a clay liner, other than the type of clay used for the liner, is the efficient construction processing of the compacted liner. The sequence of equipment in an established pattern helps assure uniformity in the entire placement and compaction process. For most clay soils, a tamping or sheepsfoot roller is the preferred type of compaction equipment. In accordance with NRCS South National Technical Center (SNTC) Technical Note 716 (revised September 1993) the maximum allowable specific discharge of the liner is 1.0 x 10-5 cm/sec. This specific discharge is dependant on the permeability of the liner material, the liner thickness, and the hydrostatic pressure on the liner. With the minimum required liner thickness stated earlier and the maximum liquid depth in the lagoon, the maximum permeability of the compacted liner is 1.25 x 10-6 cm/sec. Upon completion of the liner, undisturbed samples will be taken and tested for actual permeability. Any permeability tests indicating a higher permeability than stated above will be considered as failing. Failing tests will require recompaction of the finer material and retesting. For lagoons being built in soils which do not require clay lining the same permeability requirements apply as for clay liners and testing of the in—situ material will be conducted. During the excavation process, soils at the excavated surface are loosened as adjacent material is being removed. As a result, the permeability of these surface soils is increased. To insure proper compaction and minimum soil permeability, when lagoon excavation is complete the inner side slopes and bottom shall be rolled thoroughly prior to testiag,.

This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator: concrete flumes, concrete blocks laid tightly together, or using flexible pipe outlets on waste pipes. Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic finers and bentonite sealant. When these are specified, additional construction specifications are included with this Construction Specification or are shown on the drawings. CUTOFF TRENCH: A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when called for in the notes on the drawings or as shown on a typical cross section on the drawings. The final dimensions of the cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation materials during construction. VEGETATION: All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construction according to the seeding specifications. Topsoil, if available on site should be placed on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch shall be used if recommended permanent vegetation is out of season dates for seeding, Permanent vegetation should be established as soon as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates. REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS: An observation trench shall be dug along the perimeter of the lagoon 25 feet outside the proposed embankment toe to verify that no subsurface drain tile lines are present in the lagoon area. The trench shall be dug to a minimum depth of five feet and shall have a width adequate to accommodate equipment used for backfill and compaction. Trench side slopes shall be 1:1 or flatter. Trench backfill shall be compacted as stated in the EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT section of the specification. When tile drains are encountered, the tile will be removed to a minimum of 25 feet beyond the outside toe of slope of the dike. The tile trench shall be backfilled and compacted with material approved by the engineer or his representative. Tile drains that are removed shall be either capped off or rerouted around the lagoon, as directed by the engineer or his representative.

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking, overflowing, or running off the site. You should NOT wait until wastes reach surface water 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 available to all employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and breaks could happen at any time. Your plan should follow this format: 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: add soil to berm to temporarily increase elevation of dam—any permanent alteration of the dam should be approved by a qualified professional engineer or qualified technical specialist pump wastes to field at an acceptable rate stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waters) --hold waste in house if possible call a pumping contractor make sure no surface water is entering lagoon NOTE: The above listed activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the temporary storage level. B. Runoff from waste application field—actions include: immediately stop waste application create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field incorporate waste to reduce further runoff C. Leakage from the waste distribution system: pipes and sprinklers—actions include: — stop recycle (flushing system) pump — stop irrigation pump — close valves to eliminate further discharge — separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow flush system, houses, solids separators—actions include: — stop recycle (flushing system) pump — stop irrigation pump — make sure no siphon effect has been created — separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow D. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often these are seepage as opposed to flowing leaks—possible action*: dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage,put in a submersible pump, and pump back into lagoon if holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a clayey soil 17 other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil Murphy Family Farms Engineering P.O.

C) (Design Capacity) The waste -from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where 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. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have dif[erent infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. 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. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques; preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. ATETITLC?

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of S 10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.] 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.) REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 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 conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application.. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. 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 on bare soil. 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of- ways. 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 wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly -into water courses, and only then at agronomic rates provided the application causes no runoff or drift from the site. -:w:,,.jz 11 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25 -year, 24-hour storm event in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. 18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsi. for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills.

OFFICE (Design Capacity) The waste'from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where 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. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be gown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. 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. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. YTE LIZA PLAu r k Amount of Waste Produced Per Year(gallons, t3 tons etc. G r a a animals X� `1(Aa t.j waste/animal/year =�9 (ate) waste/year.

Guide Std. 633) 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.

Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients, 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to 'Buffers" required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.] 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. d. 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.

Discharge rates and app _ change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. I� VED pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continue use, nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increy ! U Tei 19% discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter. FAYETTEVILLE You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumeblE�ahe1FFICE design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the application uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application uniformity. For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at several locations in the application area. Any number o� containers can be used to collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used provided the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring. For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly throughout the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both sides of the gun car. You should compute the average application rate for all nonuniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation dealer or technical specialist for assistance. 'Reprinted for Cerfrcation Training far Operations of Anima/ Waste Management Systems Manual OPERATION & ANCE PLAN Proper lagoon licuid management should be a year-round priority. It is especially m important to anage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and wet periods. Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bexmudagrass) or when there are extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means .that at the firs signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according- to a Tann waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to receive lagoon liouid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet periods. In the late summer/early fall tete lagoon should be pumped down to the low marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to mainrain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste utilization plan will allow it. Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to =gate does not Ieave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods. _ Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25 -year, 24-hour storm is a violation of state law and subject to penalty action. The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following: Mia mmnance of a vegetative cover for the da. . .rescue or common bermudagrrss are the most common vegetative covers. The vegeation should be fez iized each year, if -needed, to .,aintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fe-tilize: applied should be based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of I0-10-10, or ecuivalent. Prush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of these practices. This should be done at least once a year and possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for heavy vegetative growth. NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating the waste. Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be checked should include, as a minimum, the following: Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes --look for. I. separation of joints 2. tracks or breaks 3. accumulation of salts or minerals 4. overall condition of pipes Lagoon surface ---look for: 1. undesirable vegemtive growth 2. floating or Iodged debris Embankment—look for: 1. settlement, cackng, or "jug" holes 2 side slope stability—slumps, or bulges 3. wet or damp areas on the back slope 4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action 5. rodent damage Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong winds. Tn...sr waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam. A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the lagoon may be used to reduce the wave impacts. Any of these features could Iead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your lagoon has any of thess features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and construction -of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporaryfix if there is a threat of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless recommended by an appropriate tecani:al exper`. Tr-ansfer Pumps --sir: k for proper operation of: i . recycling punnps 2. irrigation pumps Check for leaks, loose fittings, and ove.2ll pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding noise, or a 1`ge amount of vibration, =, y indicate that the pump is in need or repair or replacement. NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform yourpumping system mauttenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some safety time should major repairs be :wired. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full, your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare parts or pumps. Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing (washing) system pines and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly. You should inspect your diversion system for the following: 1. adequate vegetation 2. diversion capacity 3. ridge berm height Identified problems should be corrwred promptly. It is advisable to inspect your sys=z during or immediately following a heavy rain. If t=hnica.l assistance is needed to detr==ine proper solutions, consult with appropriate eac.pe.Ts. You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and thea recons the level again 4 to 6 hours aft:.- the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will give you an idea of how much your la?oon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount (you most also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you taay have an inflow problem from a surf= warer diversion or th= may beseep age into the lagoon from the surrounding land. lagoon Operation 1. Immediately after construction establish a conrrplete sod cover on bare soli surfaces to avoid erosion. 2. Fall new lagoon design tre-atment volume at Ieast half full of water before waste loading begins, to dn; care not to erode lining or. bank slopes. 3. DminDi= into the lagoon should have a fle--4ble pioe extender on the end of the pipe to disc a_,e near the bottom of the lagoon during inidai niliztg or another mmw of slowing the incomm,, water to avoid erosion of the lining. 4. When possible, beg;izt loading new Koons in the spring to maxime bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather). :. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a hey worsting swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 pe:twat of the fuli.lagoon houid volume. This se:ding should occour a r least two weeds prior to the addition of wast --ware:. 6. 'Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid -pH. If the pH falls below 7.0, add agzicuitztral lime at the rate of Ipound per 1000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon Equid pH is between 7.5 and 8.0. 7.

Sludge.Removal: Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by: proper lagoon sizing, mechanical solids s.-oamdon of fiushn-d waste, ;raviry settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or minimizing feed wastage and spillage. Lagoon sludge that is removed aanuaUy rather than stored Ion- term will: have more nutrients, have more odor, and require more land to properly use the nutriezits. Removal =hza ques: Farre a custom applicator. Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper agitator impeller pump through 12 -bore sprinkler =gation system onto nearby cropland; and soil incorporate. Dewater the upper par of lagoon by irigadon onto nearby cropland or forageiand; mix _arrairLm sludge; pump into licuid sludge appac=r' haul and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.

Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge materiall ar.L yzed for waste P constitu=ts just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain di fer._t nutrient and meal values from the liquid. The application of the siudge to fields vzU'be limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste anplicazLons to that field and crop zequia=ent_ Wase application rags will be discussed in derail in Chapte`- 3. When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the I ;per to prevent damage. Close attention by the pumper or drag -line operator wits ensure that the Lagoon liner remains intacL If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should stop the activity immediately and not rsume until you are sure that the sludge can be removed without liner injury. If the uner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as possible. Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphoras and.heavy metal content than liauid. 3e`ause of this it should probably be applied to land with low phomhorus and metal levels. as indicated by a soil test, and incoiporated to reduce the chance of erosion_ Note Lnat if the sludge is aapiied to fields with very high soil -test phosphores., it should -be applied only at races equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with othe^ wastes, always have. your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutriwir value. The applicadon of sludge will increase the amount of odor at t.'ie waste application sit~. Exna preaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which could increase the concern of neighbors. Possffile Causes of Lagoon Failure Lagoon failures-resilt in the unplanned discharge of v astewmer from the structure_ Types Of fatZures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the darn. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the rmsponsibility for cnstttng suz== safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include. Modification of the lagoon structure --an example is the placement of apipe in the dam without proper design and constr=on. (Consuitan expmrin lagoon design before placing any pipes in darns.) Lagoon liquid levels --high leveLs.are a safety tisk. Failure to inspect and maintain the dam. Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon. Liner integrity—protect from inlerpipe scouring, damage during sludge removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater table. NOTA 11 lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving waterwill soon cause gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly. cause a large discharge of wastrwa= and possible dam failure.

Box759, Rosa Hill NC 28458 (910) 289-2r r i 1 System Calibration *fon-Discharge Permitting information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular, pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use, nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter. You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the design will after the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the application uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application uniformity. For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at feast once every three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain causes work best because they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used provided the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring. For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly throughout the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both sides of the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for all nonuniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation dealer or technical specialist for assistance. *Reprinted for CertNcadon Training for Operations of Animal Waste Managemenr Systems Manual OPERATION S MAINTENANCE PLAN Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round prioriry. It is especially important to rn=age levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and wet periods. Maxim= storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to a farm waste management pian should be done whenever the land is dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low marker (see Figur-_' -1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to mainmin the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste utilisation plan will allow it. Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to irrigate does not Ieave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods. _ Overflow from the Iagoon for any reason except a 25 -year, 24-hour storm is a violation of state law and subject to penalty action. The routine m-ammnance of a lagoon involves the following: Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam. rescue or common be,-mudavarass are the most common vegetative covers. The vegemtion should be fertilized each year, u -needed, to maintain a vigorous sand. The amount of fe - lize: applied should be based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not p-,actical to obtain a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or ecuivalent. Brun and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of these practices. This should be done at least once a year and possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for heavy vegetative growth. NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to eater the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating the waste. Maintenance inspwdons of the entire Iagoon should be made during the initial filling of the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be checked should include, as a minimum, the following: Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes—look for. L . separation of joints 2. cracks or breaks 3. accumulation of salts or minerals Y• overall condition of pipes Lagoon surface—look for: 1. undesirable vegetative growth 2. floating or Iodged debris Embankment --look for: I.settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes 2 side slope stability—slumps or bulges 3. wet or damp areas on the back slope 4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action 5. rodent damage Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam. A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the lagoon may be used to reduce the wave impacts. Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam: If your lagoon has any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and construction -of waste lagoons. You may nervi to provide a tempo fix if there is a threat of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the technical e-pem Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless recommended by an appropriate t=hnical expert. Transfer Pumps—ch--k for grope: operation of: L recycling pumps 2. irrigation pumps Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump cpe'adon. An unusually loud or grinding noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the puma is in need or repair or replacement NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you. are not comietely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your -pumping system mairttenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full, your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare parts or pumps. Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing (washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly. You should inspect your diversion system for the following: 1. adequate vegetation 2. diversion capacity 3. ridge berm height identified problems should be correct: d promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system during or immediately following a heavy rain. If tecchniral assistance is needed to determine proDer solations, consult with appropriate expe.-'s. You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and thea record the level again 4 to 6 hours afte.: the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This wi11 give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a c t3 n rainfall amount (you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may have an infow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the lagoon from the surrounding land. Lagoon Operation 1. Immediately after cons-truction establish a complete sod cove: on bare soil surfaces to avoid erasion. 2. Fill new Iagoon design tr-,.atment volume at Int half full of water before waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or. bank slopes. a. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a fi.e;uoie pine extender on the end of the pipe to disc: a..ge near the bottom of tine lagoon durin; iaitia.l :- ing or another means of slowing the incor,=c water to avoid erosion of the Uni.nc. 4: When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to exam= bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather). 5. It is recommended that anew lagoon be seeded with sludge from a hey wor-ng swine laPoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full -lagoon liquid volume. This seeding should oc cour-aI: I== two werla pziorto the adalaon of wastewater. G. ivtaintain a periodic chi on the lagoon liquid oF. If the pH falls below 7.0, add agricultural lune at the rate of 1 pound pea 1000 cubic fees or lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid pH is between 7.5 and 8.0. 7. A darn color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate biological activity. Consultation with a technical speria.list is recommended if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm season. The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the beML -the lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are optimum for treas,-ent. Pit =harge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained and recharged ear; -i day, also work well. Practice water conserva.don—minimize building water usage and spillage from lea16ng,waterers, broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenan= and water con=rvamon. - Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. 'Phis will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon Maintain lagoon liquid level betwe`n the pernaanent storage Ievel and the full temporary storage level.

The system is proposed as a modification to the existing waste treatment and utilization system, permitted for Harrells Farm as NCDENR Permit No. AWG 100000 and Certificate of Coverage No. AWS820028, included in Attachment A. The permit modification request is for the waste treatment of 2,448 -head (two barns) of the 6,120 -head (five barns) feeder to finish operation. The farm, located in Sampson County, is owned and operated by Murphy Farms, LLC. A schematic of the PCS system is shown in Figure 1-1. Aerated water, rich in nitrates, is used to flush manure from two barns to a lift station as shown in the schematic. The flushed manure slurry is pumped from an existing lift station to an existing 4,278,620 -gallon primary treatment lagoon at a daily flow rate of 18,850 gpd. This lagoon is to be covered with a floating permeable cover that acts as a biofilter and a physical barrier to lagoon emissions. Aerobic microbes will attach and propagate into a biological scrubbing matrix that will oxidize and neutralize ammonia, volatile organic compounds and other odorous anaerobic by-products from the lagoon. The covered primary treatment lagoon will reduce system organic (VS) loading of 1,5861bVS/day by about 60%. The liquid from the covered lagoon is pumped at 18,850 gpd to a 700,000 -gallon aerobic digester for further reduction in oxygen demand and subsequent nitrification. EST Permit Application ISSUES PROJECT: PCS technologies — Harrells Farm Page I of 8 A fine -bubble diffuser system will be used to deliver the dissolved oxygen (DO) needed to meet the daily oxygen demand of the aerobic digester. A l0 -HP blower, rated at 104 cfm will be used to deliver the air and maintain about 1-2 mg/L of DO in the aerobic digester at all times. The hydraulic retention of the wastewater in the aerobic digester is roughly 36 days. This will provide about 86% reduction in BODS and about 84% reduction in ammonia through nitrification. A portion, 13,220 gpd, of the nitrified water will be returned to the barns for flushing. The nitrate -rich flush water will combine with raw manure to create a carbon -rich environment for denitrification. As such, more than 90% of the nitrified ammonia will be denitrified to nitrogen gas. In addition to the aerated effluent stream used to flush the barns, about 5,630 gpd of the aerated water will be pumped to the storage/polishing (PS) basin shown in Figure 1-1. This basin will therefore be anoxic with significantly low ammonia and oxygen demand. Nutrient water will be irrigated from this basin based on the Waste Utilization Plan enclosed as Attachment B. The entire system will be controlled automatically using a WinPLC-based automation. A Think - and -Do TM software will be used to run the control interface consisting of digital and analog inputs and outputs. This will allow efficient feeding and treatment for every hour of the day. 1.0 OBJECTIVES The specific objectives of the RENEW system are to: • reduce oxygen demand of the total manure produced from the farm by at least 90%. • reduce ammonia emissions by about 90- and 70%, respectively. • demonstrate the use of a permeable cover to reduce odors and ammonia emission.

The lift station has two 5 -hp, submersible pumps installed in parallel configuration, with solids handling controlled by liquid level floats and control panels. Wastewater from the lift station is pumped through a 6 - inch Schedule 40 PVC to a 4,278,620 -gallon primary treatment lagoon (Figure 1-1). No modifications to the lift stations or parallel 5 -hp pumps will be necessary. An existing screen in each of the lift stations will continue to be used to prevent foreign objects from passing on to the EST Permit Application ISSUES PROJECT. PCS technologies — Harrells Farm Page 4 of 8 solids concentration system. Please see Sheet 1 of 4 of the engineering drawings in Attachment C for additional details. Table 2-1 lists the flow characteristics of the flushwater. 4.0 COVERED PRIMARY TREATMENT LAGOON AND WET WELL The raw flushed manure wastewater will be digested anaerobically in the covered lagoon. The organic loading rate of the lagoon is 4.8 lbVS/1000-ft2/day. About 60% of the loaded VS will be destroyed, resulting into the effluent characteristics shown in Table 5-1. The lagoon effluent is fed into the aerobic digester for further reduction of oxygen demand for both carbonaceous and nitrogenous BOD. Unlike traditional lagoons, there will be a significant modification to the Harrells lagoon in that it will be covered with a permeable cover (see Attachment D for specifications and installation details). The woven, polypropylene material will form an aerobic matrix that will facilitate the growth of aerobic bacteria. The biological colonies established will facilitate biofiltration of VOCs, ammonia and other by-products of anaerobic digestion. It will also form a physical barrier that will minimize mass transfer between the lagoon and the ambient air. The goal is to develop and demonstrate the effect of a permeable cover on the emission of odor and volatile compounds. In addition to the permeable cover, a 10 -inch pipe will be installed to gravity feed effluent from the primary lagoon to a 5 -foot diameter wet well located on the primary lagoon berm. The wet well, detailed in Attachment E, will accommodate the following pumps: • PWW I —pumps effluent from the wet well to the aerobic digester • PWW2 — pumps effluent from the wet well to the polishing/storage basin Pump calculations and pump specifications for PWW 1 and PWW2 are included in Attachment E. A pipe layout (engineering sheet 2 of 4) and hydraulic profile (engineering sheet 3 of 4) of the system are included in Attachment C. Both pumps will be controlled using a WinPLC-based automation. 5.0 AEROBIC DIGESTER Effluent from the primary lagoon is pumped to the aerobic digester at a feeding rate of 18,850 gpd to reduce the biological oxygen demand through aerobic digestion and ammonia through nitrification. The BODS and ammonia concentrations in the aerobic digester influent will be about 1,437 mg/L and 429 mg/L respectively (Table 5-1). This will result in an oxygen demand of approximately 582 lb/d. The oxygen demand will be supplied by a blower and fine -bubble diffuser system detailed further in this section. The aerobic digester influent TS, BODS, and NH3-N concentrations will be about 6, 727, 1437, and 429 mg/L, respectively. The aerobic digester will reduce the oxygen demand in the effluent by about 86%, resulting in the digester effluent characteristics shown in Table 5-1. EST Permit Application ISSUES PROJECT: PCS technologies — Harrells Farm Page 5 of 8 Reduction of the oxygen demand will be accomplished based on the following biochemical process (Metcalf and Eddie, 1991): Bacteria COHNS + 02 + nutrients 10 CO2 + NH3 + C5H7NO2 + other end products new bacteria cell Assuming a completely mixed reactor, the computed reactor volume based on oxygen demand would be 67,763 gallons, as shown in Table 5-1. This volume is computed using equation 5-1 as follows (Metcalf and Eddie, 1991): V = SRT. Q. Y. (BOD,n — BODOUI ) MLSS. (1 + kd. SRT) 5-1 where SRT (solids retention time) = 10 days; Q = daily flow rate = 18,850 gpd; Y = yield coefficient = 0.5 mg cell/mg BODS; BOD;, = influent BODS = CBOD + NBOD (Table 5-1); BODQut = effluent BODS as in Table 5-1; MLSS = mixed liquor suspended solids = 2500 mg/L; kd = kinetic constant = 0.006 1/day; and V = volume of aerobic digester. If the aerobic digester volume were to be computed based on a HRT of 30 days and a flow rate of 18,850 gpd, the required volume would be 565,488 gallons. The actual volume of the digester proposed for the Harrells Farm, is sized to provide 696,541 gallons of aerobic digestion. Using internal settling, instead of operating the reactor in a completely mixed mode will make it possible to achieve a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of the suspended solids in excess of 30 days. A dissolved oxygen demand to maintain 1-2 mg/L at all times in the aerobic digester will be supplied by a fine -bubble diffuser system. The horsepower required for the blower (Table 5-1) was computed using equation 5-2 (Metcalf and Eddie, 1991). 0,283 HP = wRT [(P2 —1 5-2 550ne P, Where w = mass flow rate (lb/s); R = gas constant, n = 0.283 (air); e = blower efficiency, Pi = blower inlet pressure; P2 = blower outlet pressure; and HP = horse power = 6.4 HP (computed as shown in Table 5-1). The influent and effluent flow inventory is listed in Table 5-1. Out of the total influent flow rate of 18,850 gpd, 13,219 gpd will be used for flushing two bams, while 5,630 gpd will be pumped to the polishing/storage basin for denitrification and further tertiary treatment. The flowrates from the aerobic digester will be controlled by two submersible pump as follows: • PAED1 —pumps aerated wastewater from the aerobic digester to the PS basin • Recycle — pumps aerated wastewater from the aerobic digester to two barn's flush tanks Pump calculations and pump specifications for PAED1 and Recycle are included in Attachment E. A pipe layout (engineering sheet 1 of 4) and hydraulic profile (engineering sheet 3 of 4) of the systems are included in Attachment C. EST Permit Application ISSUES PROJECT. PCS technologies — Harrells Farm Page 6 of 8 In the event either of the PAED 1 or Recycle pumps are turned off due to maintenance or operational requirements, a cross-over pipe will gravity feed excess wastewater to the PS basin. The elevation of the cross-over pipe invert is such that excess precipitation in the aerobic digester will discharge into the PS basin. Excess precipitation will discharge into the PS basin until its storage volume is full and then both the digester and basin liquid level will rise together to fill the volume designated for excess precipitation.

The PS basin will provide tertiary treatment including denitrification. It will also provide storage and equalization for irrigation. The nutrient and BOD contents of the PS basin, influent and effluent are listed in Table 6-1. Table 6-1 Design and operational parameters of the PS basin Lige Item .M__ _ �_,�� L�' 6.3 Nutrient Utilization The additional treatment provided by the aerobic digester and PS basin will reduce BOD and nitrogen by about 75% respectively. This will reduce nutrients available for irrigation and agronomic plant uptake. The nutrient application design and plan, included in Attachment B, only assumes a 25% reduction of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) from the two barns, therefore, the plan is conservative for the proposed system.

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. IV. 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 Iand 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. V. GENERAL COININTIONS 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. The mazimurri 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 fauns 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. 61 11. The Groundwater Compliance Boundary for the disposal system constructed after December 31, 1983, is estab3ished at either (1) 250 feet from the waste structures and from the waste disposal area, or (2) 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is closest to the waste structures and the waste disposal area. If this facility was constructed prior to December 31, 1983, the Compliance Boundary is established at either (1) 500 feet from the waste disposal area, or (2) at the property boundary, whichever is closest to the waste disposal area. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to the requirements -of 15A NCAC 2L and the Division in addition to the penalty provisions applicable under the North Carolina General Statutes.

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. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. 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. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Page 4 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. 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 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. 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. Page 5 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 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. 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 courses 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. Page 6 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (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 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 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.

(BEI) is strictly prohibited. Bio -Cap® and Bio -Cap MLTM are registered trademarks of BEI and all materials or references pertaining to Bio -Cap or Bio -Cap MLTM are the sole property of BEI. Bio-Capa processes and application technology described herein are patent pending and under jurisdiction of the United States patent office. Bio -Cad fabric is a non -woven, needle punched, polypropylene fiber, stabilized to resist degradation due to ultraviolet light exposure. This felt -like material has a specific gravity less than 1 and, therefore, floats like a sponge on water. It will stretch half or more of its original length before failure, has a grab tensile strength of 225 lbs. or more, weighs 9 ozlyd2 or more, has an approximate apparent opening size equal to a 100 U.S. Sieve. The Bio -Cap ML material has additional layers of closed cell foam flotation and a top sacrificial layer of woven or non- woven material to provide protection from UV degradation. The resultant Bio -Cap ML has a longer Iifespan and better flotation throughout its life than the original. See diagram I for graphic representation. Stock rolls of Bio -Cap ®(ML) fabric must be fabricated into a single cover the size of the top inside dimensions of the open storage structure as follows: • Each basin to be covered is evaluated to select the most efficient side of the basin upon which to build the cover. A minimum fabrication area width is required along the length of the berm upon which the cover is fabricated to accommodate the width of the stock rolls of Bio -Cap (ML) fabric being used. If the area width constraint is met, the berm selected will be the longest berm if a rectangle, the longest side adjacent to the right angle if the basin is a right triangle, along the hypotenuse if an obtuse triangle, along either long side. of an isosceles triangle, and along the longest side of a polygon. A circular or oblong basin cover will be fabricated in an area of the above described minimum width and parallel to the longest distance across the surface area of the basin. This evaluation and design process may or may not entail the use of specially developed computer software. • A roll of Bio-Cap®(ML) fabric is rolled out along the berm selected for fabrication. Another layer of fabric is then rolled out on top and slightly offset on one side of the first layer. The exposed edge of the bottom layer of fabric is then rolled over the top Iayer of fabric by approximately three inches all along the length. The seaming process described below is employed to join the two layers of fabric together. Another layer of fabric is then rolled out on top of the seamed geo-textile, and the process is repeated on the other side. This process continues until the design criteria mentioned above are met and the final product is adequately sized so that lagoon is covered up to the top inside berm. Individual Bio -Cap® (ML) fabric layer Iengths are cut to the length necessary to create the ultimate desired shape of the cover. • Seaming is best accomplished using a specialized heat welder to fuse overlapping seams together, but may also be accomplished with a,sewing machine, though when sewn, an ultra- violet light inhibiting thread must be used. • The resultant product of this process is a complete Bio -Caps cover, fan -folded on the build berm of the lagoon and ready to be deployed. • The un -seamed edge of the top layer of the cover is wrapped around floatation and tacked together using a hot air gun to melt the adjoined Bio-Cap®(ML) material together. This is done to create a leading edge of the cover that will float over scum and debris on top of the basin when the cover is pulled into place across the basin. • DepIoyment ropes of sufficient tensile strength are attached to the floating leading edge of the cover at up to eight points. These deployment ropes are stretched across the basin to the opposite berm. • Stakes with flange plates are pressed into the middle of the top flat area of the berm approximately equi-distant to each other. These stakes have pulleys attached through which the deployment ropes are threaded and are brought to a central point where a single mandrel is located. • The cover is deployed using a single segmented, hydraulic mandrel to which the deployment ropes are attached. The mandrel is then rotated to wind the deployment ropes onto the mandrel. This pulls the cover squarely across the basin as the fan -folded cover on the berm unfolds to cover the surface area. • The cover is normally tethere�eay-d�uty eet or less around the perimeter of theo ounda=nchors=escrrZed elow. • The tether is connected to the cover without unc eo- extile material and the tethering rope is ultra-vio an possesses sufficient tensile strength not to break u er related stress. • Traditional duckbill ground anchors are used as tethering point a cover to the earthen berm of the basin. They �areinse ground toa depth sufficient to withstand weather rel pet back from the inside berm so as not to impair the ' y of a compacted clay liner. 3 • The cover must be positioned squarely in place to cover the entire surface area, above the high-water line of the organic slurry storage structure. • As an alternate to tethering in high -wind prone geography, the margin of the cover may be placed in a trench with a vertical sidewall that is dug around the perimeter of the basin above the operational high-water line. The trench is back-filled after the margin of the cover has been placed in the open trench. The margin of the cover is buried at a depth sufficient to withstand weather-related stress. • Securing the margins of the cover is important but it should also be known that this process is only to keep the outside edges in place. Once deployed, the Bio -Cap® fabric contacts and saturates with liquid and increases in weight by up to five times. This phenomenon is most responsible for holding the cover securely in place on the storage structure. The two processes work in conjunction with one another and make the Bio -Cap® cover quite unsusceptible to high winds or other environmental stress. Once in place, the cover suppresses the release of malodorous gases in four ways: First, the cover fabric is porous and it restricts the release of gas to a volume equal to its permitivity. Second, vapor pressure under the cover causes small areas of the cover to inflate and rise from the surface of the organic slurry in a low -profile manner. Under observation, the cover appears to develop sand dune -like ripples. These elevated areas permit oxygen to diffuse from the atmosphere into the surface of the fabric and create a humid environment. The presence of oxygen enables endemic facultative and/or aerobic bacteria to exist and break down malodorous gases passing through the cover to the atmosphere. Third, the anaerobic zone on the underside of the cover provides a substrate to which anaerobic methanogenic bacteria may attach and break down malodorous gases passing through the cover to the atmosphere. Fourth, the thin layer of Bio -Cape fabric forms a barrier to mass transfer of gas based on two -film theory. This provides especially effective reduction in the transfer of short chain carbon ring volatile organic compounds through the cover to the atmosphere. The result is effective odor control. The physical barrier of the cover plays an important metering function. In explanation, large volumes of malodorous gases are normally stripped from open structures due to agitation caused by wind, wave action or pummeling rainfall. The cover prevents stripping of gases and the permitivity (or porosity) of the fabric meters malodorous gas into the small aerobic environment on the surface of the fabric. Ultraviolet light degradation will be the eventual cause of cover failure. It is anticipated that the Bio -Cape fabric used will last at least three full calendar years, though actual experience for this duration has not yet been recorded. Bio -Cap MLTM fabric is expected to last at least six full calendar years. When the fabric has deteriorated beyond repair, the cover should be removed from the surface of the storage structure, spread out, and left to drain and dry. If burning permits are available, the material may be burned, or it may be taken to a landfill. At this time, a new cover should be fabricated and positioned in place. 4 Maintenance and Repair The Bio -Cap ®(ML) cover will remain in place year-round once in position and will not require regular maintenance. The Bio -Cap ®(ML) fabric has superior elongation properties allowing it to accommodate freeze -thaw without damage. Regular inspections of the Bio -Cap ®(ML) by site managers are recommended. Operators should report any damage to the Bio-Cap®(ML) cover to their management and ultimately to BEI. The cover must stay anchored around the perimeter unless care is taken to secure the open area with rope or other means. Recharge pumps or other equipment can be carefully removed from under the cover by slowly pulling them out with an attached rope or cable. They can be replaced similarly while working the cover over them. Care should be taken when doing this so as not to damage the cover or the equipment. The cover should not be pulled back when agitating the effluent under the cover. There is a possibility of damaging the cover by getting it caught in the agitation equipment or inadvertently getting manure solids on top of the cover. If agitation under the cover is desired, it is recommended that an engineered lift or opening system be installed to gain access to effluent and protect the cover during agitation. Although the Bio -Cap® is quite buoyant, it will not support human weight. Walking on the cover is not recommended. A small, lightweight boat is recommended for workers to perform tasks on top of the cover. It can be pulled along on top of the cover with an attached rope. A Personal Flotation Device should be worn at all times when on the inside of the berm and on top of the cover. In the event the cover is damaged in some way, repairs or patching can be performed by hand sewing or welding/fusing with a liester or wedge welder. The Bio -Cap® has no mechanical parts, gas flares, or other parts to maintain or repair and works passively as described above to mitigate gases and odors.

Per our discussions, to keep you in a 10 -HP motor, 240 volt, single phase, we needed to lower the operating pressure for this blower. This blower is sized at an operating pressure of 12 PSI and a relief pressure of 13 PSI. 240 volt, single phase motors are only available to 15 -HP. Your original specifications of 15 PSI would have put as in a 15 -HP motor and would have been a 3 phase motor. I have also included an application worksheet, a blower curve, and a preliminary drawing. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 913-888- 8486.

The contractor shall be responsible for the disposition of all debris to the satisfaction of the owner. The topsoil from basin area should be stripped and stockpiled for use of the dike. After stripping, the foundation area of the basin embankment shall be thoroughly loosened prior to placing the first lift of fill material to get a good bond. EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines, grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthfll material shall be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen soil, stones over 6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent they are suitable, excavated material may be used as fill. The fill shall be brought up in approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9 inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer shall be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading equipment or standard tamping roller or equivalent method. Compaction shall be considered adequate when fill material is observed to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectable. NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials from the required excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height with an impoundment capacity of 10 acre-feet of more fall under the jurisdiction of the NC Dam Safety Law and require permitting by the NC Dept. of Environment, Health and Natural Resources, Land Quality Section. The height is defined as the difference in elevation from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike. Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. LINER: A 40 mil HDPE liner shall be furnished and installed by the contractor in accordance with the liner manufacturers guidelines. Liner, as shown on the drawing, shall be manufactured by GSE Inc. or owner approved equivalent. Murphy Family Farms Engineering P.O.

The foundation shall be backfilled as specified to grade with a material approved by the owner. REFER TO THE DRAWINGS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS. CUTOFF TRENCH: A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when called for in the notes on the drawings or as shown on a typical cross section on the drawings. The final dimensions of the cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation materials during construction. VEGETATION: All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construction according to the seeding specifications. Topsoil, if available on site shall be placed on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch shall be used if recommended permanent vegetation is out of season dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation shall be established as soon as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates. REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS: An observation trench shall be dug along the perimeter of the basins 25 feet outside the proposed embankment toe to verify that no subsurface drain tile lines are present in the lagoon area. The trench shall be dug to a minimum depth of five feet and shall have a width adequate to accommodate equipment used for backfill and compaction. Trench side slopes shall be 1:1 or flatter. Trench backfill shall be compacted as stated in the EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT section of the specification. When tile drains are encountered, the tile will be removed to a minimum of 25 feet beyond the outside toe of slope of the dike. The tile trench shall be backfilled and compacted with material approved by the engineer or his representative. Tile drains that are removed shall be either capped off or rerouted around the lagoon, as directed by the engineer or his representative. SAFETY AND HEALTH REQUIREMENTS: All operations shall be carried out in a safe, skillful, and workmanlike manner. All safety and health regulations shall be observed and appropriate personal safety and health measures used at all times by the contractor during construction. Murphy Family Farms Engineering P.O. Box 759, Rose Hill NC 28458 {910}289-2111 GROWER: Harrells Farm DESIGNED BY: KAE ADDRESS: PO Box 759 CHECKED BY: NPD Rose Hill, NC DATE: 01/00/00 COUNTY: Sampson SHEET 1 OF 2 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN This lagoon and basin system is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and 180 days of temporary storage. The time required forthe planned fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. The designed temporary storage consists of X180 days of temporary storage.for: (1) manure production of animals, (2) excess fresh water storage, (3) rainfall in excess of evaporation, (4) storage for the 25 year 124 hour storm for the location, (5) and, if applicable, an additional "heavy rain" storage volume for chronic rainfall events. Allocation for any additional fresh water usage is also included in the temporary storage. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available. A staff gauge must be installed in the lagoon and basins that indicates the start pumping andl stop pumping levels. The start pumping level is the maxium liquid level under normal operatir conditions. The stop pumping level is the minimum liquid level under normal operation to maintain required treatment volume and depth. Pumping can be started and stopped anywhere between these two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without runoff or leaching. However, it is recommended that the lagoon be kept pumped down as much as possible. Land application of wastewater is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling guns. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out: 1. It is required that the treatment lagoon be precharged to one-half the treatent volume or as otherwise specified on the lagoon design drawings before wastes are introduced. The purpose is to prevent excessive odors during start-up. Precharging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete, flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after initial filling. 2. The attached Waste Utilization Plan shall be followed. The plan recommends sampling and testing of waste before land application. Murphy Family Farms Engineering P.O.

Begin temporary storage pump -out of the lagoon when the fluid level reaches the elevation 105.8' as marked by the staff gauge. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches elevation 103.7' This temporary storage, less 25 year 124 hour storm, contains 140,355 cubic feet or 1,049,928 gallons.. 4. Begin temporary storage pump -out of the Poiishing/Storage Basin when the fluid level reaches the elevation 103.3' as marked by the staff gauge. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches elevation 99.5'. This temporary storage, less 25 year 124 hour. storm, also includes excess precipitation storage from the Aerobic Digester. Both basins contains 100,521 cubic feet or 751,949 gallons. 5. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 inches per hour. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details. 6. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. 7. Repair any eroded or damaged areas and establish in vegetation. 8. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets. 9. Keep a minimum of 75 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within .200 feet,,of a residence.or.within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall be applied in a manner such that waste will not reach other property and public rights-of-way. 10. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. Waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by either discharge or by over -spraying. The Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law. Murphy Family Farms Engineering P.O.

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking, overflowing, or running off the site. You should NOT wait until wastes reach surface water 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 available to all employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and breaks could happen at any time. Your plan should follow this format: 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 or basin overflow -possible solutions are: add soil to berm to temporarily increase elevation of dam -any permanent alteration of the dam should be approved by a qualified professional engineer or qualified technical specialist pump wastes to field at an acceptable rate stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waters) --hold waste in house if possible call a pumping contractor make sure no surface water is entering lagoon NOTE: The above listed activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the temporary storage level. B. Runoff from waste application field -actions include: immediately stop waste application create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field incorporate waste to reduce further runoff C. Leakage from the waste distribution system: pipes and sprinklers -actions include: stop recycle (flushing system) pump stop irrigation pump - close valves to eliminate further discharge - separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow flush system, houses, solids separators -actions include: - stop recycle (flushing system) pump - stop irrigation pump - make sure no siphon effect has been created - separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow D. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon or basins. Often these are seepage as opposed to flowing leaks -possible action': dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage put in a submersible pump, and pump back into a lagoon or basin cabable of holidng the seepage volume if holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a clayey soil other holes may be likewise temporarily Dluaaed with clan soil GROWER: Harrelis Farm DESIGNED BY: KAE ADDRESS: PO Box 759 CHECKED BY: NPD Rose Hill, NC 28458 DATE: 10/29/02 COUNTY: Sampson SHEET 2 OF 2 *Lagoon or basin problems require the consultation of an individual experienced in the design and construction of earthen structures for permanent repair measures. 2.

These introductory provisions are enforceable portions of this Permit. This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until January 31, 2008, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and limitations. 1. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS 1. The animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land 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 (NRCS) Standards. If the Permitees are in compliance with this permit, and unintentionally discharge as a result of a -storm event greater than the 25 -year, 24-hour storm, the facility will not be considered to be in violation of this permit. 2. A violation of the this Permit may result in the Permittee having to take immediate or long term corrective action(s) as required by the Division of Water Quality (Division). These actions may include ceasing use of the innovative technology, modifying operation of the innovative technology, modifying the Waste Utilization Plan (WUP), ceasing land application of waste; or removing animals from the farm. A corrective action of removing animals from the farm will not be necessary as long as the existing animal waste management system is operable in accordance with COC AWS820028. This facility may not be 'expanded above the capacity shown in this permit until a new permit reflecting the expansion has been issued. 4. A copy of this permit, the Waste Utilization Plan, approved design documents, as -built specifications, operation and maintenance plan, and all certification'forms 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. Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of the innovative wastewater treatment system, the certification, signed and sealed by a professional engineer must be submitted by the Permittee certifying that the permitted facility has been installed in accordance with this permit, the approved plans and specifications, and other supporting materials. Mail the Certification to the Water Quality Section, Non -Discharge Permitting Unit, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617. 6. The Fayetteville Regional Office, telephone (910) 486-1541, shall be notified by the Permittee at least forty-eight (48) hours in advance of operation of the installed facilities so that an in-place inspection -can be made. Such notification to the regional supervisor shall be made during the normal 'office hours from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday, excluding State Holidays. 7. The spray irrigation facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times so that there is no discharge to the surface waters, nor any contamination of ground waters which will render them unsatisfactory for normal use. In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions or failure of the irrigation area to adequately assimilate the wastewater, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective actions including those actions that may be required by the Division. 8. The following buffers shall be maintained when constructing the innovative wastewater treatment system: a) 100 feet between wastewater treatment units and any wells, and b) 50 feet between wastewater treatment units and property lines. H. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS 1. The collection, treatment, and storage facilities, and land application equipment and fields shall be maintained at all times and properly operated. 2. A suitable vegetative cover shall be maintained on all land application sites and buffers in accordance with the submitted Waste Utilization Plan. No waste may be applied upon fields not approved by or prepared in accordance with the WUP. 3. All changes to the WUP must be approved by the Division of Water Quality. A permit modification should be requested and issued prior to any changes to the WUP being put into effect. 4. An acceptable pH of the -soil shall be maintained on all land application sites to insure optimum yield for the crop(s) being grown. 5. Land application rates, hydraulic loading rates, cropping rotations and application windows shall be in accordance with the Waste Utilization Plan and/or a representative Waste Analysis Report. 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. 5. 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. 7. If manure is 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. Domestic and/or industrial wastewater from showers, toilets, sinks, etc. shall not be discharged into the animal waste collection, treatment, and 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. 9. Disposal of dead animals shall be done in accordance with the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (NCDACS) Veterinary .Division's regulations. 10. Unless accounted for in temporary storage volume, all uncontaminated runoff from the surrounding property and buildings shall be diverted away from the animal waste system, including but not limited to, lagoons, storage ponds and/or open storage structures to prevent any unnecessary addition to the liquid volume in the structures. IL . A protective vegetative cover shall be established and maintained on all earthen basin embankments (outside toe of embankment to maximum pumping elevation), berms, pipe runs, erosion control areas, and surface water diversions. Trees, shrubs, and other woody vegetation shall not be allowed to grow on the earthen basin dikes or embankments. Earthen basin embankment areas shall be kept mowed or otherwise controlled and accessible. 12. The residuals generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed in accordance with General Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the Division.

Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources August 11, 2008 Subject: Sludge Compliance Requirement Change Dear Permittee: Coleen H. Sullins Director Division of Water Quality In accordance with Condition 111.19 of State General Permit AWG 100000, your facility is required to maintain compliance regarding sludge accumulation in your animal waste treatment lagoon(s). As you know, the previous compliance limit was to have a minimum of four (4) feet of treatment depth between the designed stop pump and the average elevation of the top of the sludge blanket. This requirement was based on NRCS Standard No. 359, which was recently modified. As of July 2008, Standard No. 359 does not use the 4 -foot requirement. Sludge compliance is now to be based on the sludge volume as a percentage of the total treatment volume. The revised Standard states that sludge accumulation in the permanent treatment zone must be less than 50% of the planned treatment volume. Also, there must be a minimum of 2.5 feet of liquid above the sludge at the pump intake location. If either of these conditions is not met then sludge must be removed or managed in accordance with an approved Plan of Action for Lagoon Sludge Reduction (POA). A new sludge survey worksheet has been developed to calculate sludge and treatment volumes to determine compliance. Our records indicate that you have filed a Sludge POA for one or more of the lagoons at your facility. Based on the changes to the sludge requirements in Standard No. 359, your lagoon(s) may already be in compliance without any sludge removal. Using your lagoon design (or as - built information) and current sludge survey measurements, complete the NEW sludge survey worksheet. If you'have any difficulty in locating or understanding your lagoon design information, please contact your technical specialist or county Soil & Water office.

The liquid level of the primary lagoon will be drawn down to a minimum of 5.5 feet from the top berm so that the crossover pipe between the lagoon and wet well can be installed. To prevent seepage around the crossover pipe, a non -seep collar will be installed where the pipe enters the berm, and clay (in-situ or brought in) will be compacted around the pipe. The wet well will be located at least 12 horizontal feet from the maximum operating liquid level and disturbed earth around the wet well will also be compacted to prevent any structural weaknesses from seepage, or earth settling. ITEM 2 — The primary lagoon's liquid level will be monitored according to Murphy Farm's current standard operating procedure. The permeable cover to be placed on the primary lagoon will have a reinforced hole where the liquid level staff gage is located. The hole will allow someone to visually observe the changing liquid level and allow the cover to rise and fall around the staff gage. ITEM 3 -- Note that mass cannot be created nor destroyed. The sludge generated by the aerobic digester will always be less than what is fed to it. The primary treatment will be the covered anaerobic lagoon, which will destroy about 75% of the total solids input from the farm. Therefore, The maximum solids loading to the aeration basin will be about 25% of farm total. Based on the principles of aerobic metabolism, about 60% (i.e. 60% of 25% = 15%) of the solids fed to an aerobic digester will be converted to biomass if the system is operated above a food/microbial (FIM) ratio of 0.2. This minimal solid will be suspended with diffused air in an MLSS of less than 3,500 mg/L. Note that the net effluent from the aerobic digester is returned to the Polishing/Storage Basin for denitrification and subsequent use of nutrient for agronomic plant uptake.

Ross Jr., Secretary Alan Klimek, P.E., Director Division of Water Quality 1 have completed review of the submitted information pertaining to the above referenced facility and include the following recommendations and comments: * There is not a reference as to how the liquid levels will be monitored for the covered lagoon. Some type of gauge must be installed to allow for freeboard measurements after cover is installed. • The nitrification process should produce excess biosolids in the aerobic digester and possibly in the polishing basin. Since this is not a complete mix system, solids settling will occur. Regular solids monitoring should be included in the maintenance plan for the aerobic digester and polishing basin. A solids handling plan should be established for clean out procedures. The waste management plan for this facility does not include enough land for onsite solids disposal. • This system is taking a small part of the land application site. Even with a 25% reduction in nitrogen for several of the houses, there is only a 123 Ib -PAN deficit. The polishing basin will become the primary basin for land application, however, there is only 92 days of storage in the polishing basin.

Box 856 Warsaw, NC 28398 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 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. 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. 1 of 8 RECEIVED I DENR I DWQ AQUIFFR'PRnTEr.TlnN .SECTION APR 0 6 70(�g 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. 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.

LAND UTILIZATION SUMMARY "' 25 % reduction You should pian time and have appropriate The following table describes the nutrient balance and land utilization rate for this facility Note that the Nitrogen Balance for Crops indicates the ratio of the amount of nitrogen produced on this facility to the amount of nitrogen that the crops under irrigation may uptake and utilize in the normal growing season. Total Irrigated Acreage: 41.94 Total N Required 1st Year: 12791.7 Total N Required 2nd Year: 0 Average Annual Nitrogen Requirement of Crops: 12,791.70 Total Nitrogen Produced by Farm: 12,668.00 Nitrogen Balance for Crops: (123.70) The following table describes the specifications of the hydrants and fields that contain the crops designated for utilization of the nitrogen produced on this facility. This chart describes the size, soil characteristics, and uptake rate for each crop in the specified crop rotation schedule for this facility. 2of8 Reception Area Specifications Tract Field Irrigated soil 1st Crop Time to 1stCrop 1stCrop LbsN/Ac Lbs N Total lbs Acreage Type Code Apply Yield lbs N/Unit Residual /Ac Utilized 3(b) of 8 This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above. 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 bermuda), 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 reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definatefy 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 the 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 cut to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

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. 4of8 SLUDGE APPLICATION: The following table describes the annual nitrogen accumulation rate per animal in the lagoon sludge Farm Specifications PAN/yr/animal Farm Total/yr Farrow to Wean 0.84 Farrow to Feeder 1 Farrow to Finish 4.1 Wean to Feeder 0.072 6120 Feeder to Finish 0.36 2203.2 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 2203.2 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon sludge based an the rates of accumulation listed above. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 11016 pounds of plant available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 36 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 88.128 acres of land. Please note that these are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal. 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 the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. '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 instance should the volume of the waste 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 prior to applying the waste. ff$# 7 Application Rate Guide The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts. 6of8 Soil Application Rate Application Amount Tract Hydrant Type Crop in/hr ' inches Harrells 1 AuB BC 0.6 _ 1 Harrells 2 AuB BC 0.6 1 Harrells 3 AuB BC 0.6 1 Harrells 4 AuB BC 0.6 1 Harrells 5 AuB BC 0.6 1 Harrells 6 AuB BC 0.6 1 Harrells 7 AuB BC 0.6 1 Harrells 8 AuB BC 0.6 1 Harrells 9 AuB BC 0.6 1 Harrells 10 AuB BC 0.6 1 6of8 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN CERTIFICATION Name of Farm: Harrells Farm Owner: Murphy Brown, LLC Manager: OwnerlManager Agreement: I/we understand and will follow and implement the specifications and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste nutrient management plan for the farm named above.

Plan is written by pulls instead of fields. Acres shown are 'wetted' acres. All pulls must be alternately grazed and hayed with at least 112 of dry matter production removed by haying. This will require rotation grazing of bermuda fields during the March - Sept time frame. All small grain may be cut for hay. PAN production is based on 2 of 5 houses utilizing an alternative technology waste system which will reduce nitrogen available for these two houses by a minimum of 25%. 7of8 NUTRIENT 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 the waste, he/she shall provide evidence 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 waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, recieving crop type, or available land. 3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications 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 eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (See USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 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 land application field. 6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is 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 and flies. 8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 1 of 3 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 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. 10 Nutrients from waste 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 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. 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 cropland provided the fields 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. 2of3 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (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 if animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 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 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 nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for a minimum of five years. 23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. 3of3 PLAN OF ACTION(Poa) FOR HIGH FREEBOARD AT ANIMAL FACILITIES Facility Number: 82-28 Facility Name: Harrells Farm Certified Operator Name: Julia Tatum County: Sampson Operator Number.

ALL ORGANIC MATERIAL, FOREIGN MATERIAL. WATER, ETC. SHALL BE REMOVED FROM THE INSIDE SURFACES OF THE BASIN AND DIKE PRIOR TO PLACEMENT OF SYNTHETIC LINER. SEE LINER / DIKE CROSS SECTION DETAIL ON SHEET 4. 4. THE BASINS ARE BEING PLACED IN A WET AREA WITH THE WATER TABLE BEING WITHIN THE EXCAVATED DEPTH. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE CONTRACTOR INSTALL DRAINAGE MEASURES AT THE START OF THE PROJECT AND MAINTAIN THEM UNTIL ALL BASIN GRADING AND LINING IS COMPLETED. 5. THE BASIN SHALL BE PRECHARGED WITH WASTEWATER FROM THE PRIMARY TREATMENT LAGOON TO THE SEASONAL HIGH WATER TABLE AS SOON AS THE LINER IS COMPLETE AND HAS BEEN AUTHORIZED. THIS IS IMPORTANT TO STABILIZE THE SYNTHETIC LINER FROM FLOATING. 6. ALL FILL MATERIAL PLACED ON THE BASIN DIKES SHALL BE COMPACTED TO 95% OF THE STANDARD PROCTOR MAXIMUM DRY DENSITY. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT COMPACTION BE DONE WITH A SHEEPSFOOT ROLLER. 7 ALL PENETRATIONS OF THE DIKE BY DISCHARGE, RECYCLE, OR OTHER PIPES. ELECTRICAL CONDUIT, STAFF GAUGE, ETC. SHALL BE ACCOMPLISHED PRIOR TO PLACEMENT OF SYNTHETIC LINER. 8. BASIN DIKE SIDE SLOPES ARE 3:1 UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED ON PLAN. 9. ANY WATER SUPPLY WELLS PLACED ON THE SITE MUST BE A MINIMUM OF 100' FROM THE CLOSEST POINT OF THE LAGOON AND BASIN. 10. THE FOLLOWING ITEMS SHALL BE DONE WITH REGARDS TO THE BASIN CONSTRUCTION BEFORE THE FACILITY IS CERTIFIED: BASIN DIKES FERTILIZED, SEEDED AND MULCHED; LINER INSTALLATION AND TESTING COMPLETED: THE STAFF GAUGE INSTALLED. AND THE BASIN PRECHARGED. 11. BEFORE BEGINNING EXCAVATION AN OBSERVATION TRENCH SHALL BE DUG AROUND THE BASINS TO DETERMINE WHETHER DRAIN TILE OR OTHER PIPING MATERIALS ARE PRESENT IN THE BASIN AREA. THE TRENCH SHALL BE A MINIMUM OF 5 FEET DEEP AND 2.5 FEET WIDE AND SHALL BE WITHIN 25" OF THE OUTSIDE TOE OF THE BASINS. IF ANY PIPE IS FOUND IT SHALL BE REMOVED COMPLETELY FROM THE BASIN AREA. OUTSIDE THE TRENCH THE TILE SHALL BE EITHER CAPPED OFF OR REROUTED AROUND THE BASIN AS DIRECTED BY THE ENGINEER. THE TRENCH SHALL BE INSPECTED BY A MURPHY BROWN REPRESENTATIVE PRIOR TO BACKFILLING. 12. THE EROSION CONTROL MEASURES SHOWN ON THIS PLAN ARE INTENDED AS A GUIDE.
