Required Documentation
The following details of design and materials must accompany all irrigation designs:
1. A scale drawing of the proposed Irrigation system which includes hydrant locations, pipelines, thrust block locations and buffer areas where applicable.
2. Assumptions and computations for determining total dynamic head and horsepower requirements.
3. Computations used to determine all mainline and lateral pipe sizes.
4. Sources and/or calculations used for determining application rates.
5. Computations used to determine the size of thrust blocks and Illustrations of all thrust block configurations required in the system
6. Manufacturers specifications for the irrigation pump, traveler and sprihklerks}.
7. Manufacturer's specifications for the irrigation pipe and/or USDA-NRCS standard for IRRIGATION WATER CONVEYANCE.
8. The Information required by this form are the minimum requirements. It is the responsibility of the designer to consider all re
address them as appropriate.
9. Irrigation pipes should not be installed in lagoon or storage pond embankments without the approval of the designer.
NOTE: A buffer strip of 25' or wider must be maintained between the limits of the irrigation system and all
perennial streams and surface waters per NC Statutes.

Sheet6
Narrative of Irrigation System Operation
This system is designed for use on existing sprayfleld utilizing a'zoned, solid set system. There are five zones
in this system, each with a varying number of sprinklers. In addition, the system is powered by an electric moter.
Due to the fact that electric motors are not variable speed, the flowrate and pressure supplied to each zone will be
slightly different. For this reason, the producer should calibrate each zone of this system individually to determine
the exact flowrate of the zones as installed. The acres shown are based on a wetted diameter of 134'. The
diameters of the sprinklers used does not vary much based on pressure, but should be checked also when calibrated.
This system uses quick connect couplers to attach sprinklers. The ball valves in these should be checked during
application events to insure that they are not leaking due to trash or damage. It is recommended that the zones
not in use be valved off and remain unpressurrized during operation.
There are a number of 314 throw spinklers used in this design. When operating these sprinklers within a zone,
they should be operated only 75% of the time of the full throw sprinklers. Example, if the zone is to run 2 hours,
the part throw sprinklers should be removed after 1.5 hours to insure even application.

In placing concrete thrust blocks, check with the manufacturer of the
pipe being used to ensure that the correct size thrust blocks are
befog used.
There are a number of machines that can be used to prepare the
trench for PVC plastic pipe. Soil types, moisture content, depth of
trench required and type and diameter of pipe must be considered.
Generally chain trenches, wheel trenches,-backhoes, or vibrating plows
will be used for trench preparation. The vibrating plow can only be
used for solvent weld PVC pipe and generally is limited to the smaller
diameter of pipe. Under most conditions the chain -trencher or wheel
trencher will be faster than the backhoe. Where wide trenches for large
Pipe are required, the backhoe will be most satisfactory. If soil
conditions permit, long stretches of open trench will expedite pipe
installation. However, if rain is forecast the pipe should be installed
and the trench backfilled. To avoid sharp turns in the line at obstructions,
trenches should be curved within limits of curvature of the pipe.

spats that can damage the pipe or cause nonuniform sup-
port shall be removed.
If rocks, boulders, or any other material that can damage

to be placed in areas not subject to vehicular loads and in
soils that do not crack appreciably when dry may be placed
by using "plow -in" equipment instead of conventional
trenching.
Provisions shall be made to insure safe working condi-
tions where unstable soil, trench depth, or other conditions
can be hazardous to personnel working in the trench.
Placement. Care shall be taken to prevent permanent dis-
tortion and damage when handling the pipe during unusu-
ally warm or cold weather. The pipe shall be allowed to
come within a few degrees of the temperature it will have
after 4 is completely covered before placing the backfill,
other than that needed for shading, or before connecting
the pipe to other facilities. The pipe shall be uniformly and
continuously supported over Its entire length on firm stable
material. Blocking or mounding shall not be used to bring
the pipe to final grade.
For pipe with bell joints, bell holes shall be excavated in
the bedding material, as needed, to allow for unobstructed
assembly of the joint and to permit the body of the pipe to
be in contact with the bedding material throughout its
length.
Joint and connection. All joints and connections shall
be designed and constructed to withstand the design maxi-
mum working pressure for the pipeline without leakage and
to leave the inside of the fine free of any obstruction that
may tend to reduce its capacity below design requirements.
All fittings, such as couplings, reducers, bends, tees, and
crosses, shall be installed according to the recommenda-
tions of the pipe manufacturer
Fittings made of steel or other metals susceptible to cor-
rosion shall be adequately protected by being wrapped. with
plastic tape or by being coated with a substance that has
hibh corrosion -preventative qualities. If plastic tape is used,
all surfaces shall be thoroughiy cleaned and coated with a
primer compatible with the tape before wrapping.
Thrust blocks. Thrust blocks must be formed against a
solid hand -excavated trench wall undamaged by mechani-
cal equipment. They shall be constructed of concrete, and
the space between the pipe and trench wall shall be filled
to the height oR the outside diameter of the pipe or as spec-
ified by the manufacturer.
Tiesting. The pipeline shall be tested for pressure strength.
leakage, and proper functioning. The tests may be per-
formed before backfilling or anytime after the pipeline is
ready for service.

lrr2-gar:aon WaICL 4�'ttvcyaia�c ��
• 0 . ,
Tests for pressure strength and leaks shall be accom-
plished by inspecting the pipeline and appurtenances while
the maximum working pressure is maintained and all joints
and connections are uncovered, or by observing normal
operation of the pipeline after it is put into service. Partial
backflils needed to hold the pipe in place during testing
shall be placed as specified in "Initial Backf"ill.'- Any leaks
shall be repaired and the system retested.
The pipeline shall be tested to insure that it functions
property at design capacity, At or below design capacity
there shall be no objectionable flow conditions. Objectiona-
ble flow conditions shall include water hammer, continuing
unsteady delivery of water, damage to the pipeline, or detri-
mental discharge from control valves.
Initial backfill. Hand. mechanical• or water packing meth-
ods may be used.
The initial backfill material shall be soil or sand that is
free from rocks or stones larger than 1 in. in diameter. At
the time of placement, the moisture content of the material
shall be such that the required degree of compaction can
be obtained with the backfill method to be used. The initial
backfill material shall be placed so that the pipe will not be
displaced, excessively deformed, or damaged.
If backfilling is done by hand or mechanical means, the
initial fill shall be compacted firmly around and above the
pipe as required to provide adequate lateral support to the
pipe.
If the water packing method is used, the pipeline first
snail be tilled with water. The initial backfill before wetting
shall be of sufficient depth to insure complete coverage of
the pipe after consolidation. Water packing is accomplished
by adding enough water to diked reaches of the trench to
thoroughly saturate the initial backfill without excessive
pooling. Atter the backfill is saturated, the pipeline shall
remain full until after the final backfill is made. The wetted
fill shall be allowed to dry until firm before beginning the
final backfill.
Final backfill, The final backfill material shall be free of
large rocks, frozen clods, and other debris greater than 3
in, in diameter. The material shall be placed and spread in
approximately uniform layers so that there will be no
unfilled spaces in the backfill and the backfill will be level
with the natural ground or at the design grade required to
provide the minimum depth of cover after settlement. Roll-
ing equipment shall not be used to consolidate the final
backfill until the specified minimum depth of caner has
been placed.
All special backfiiting requirements of the pipe manufac-
turer shall be met.
Basle of acceptance. The acceptability of the pipeline
shall be determined by inspections to check compliance
with all the provisions of this standard with respect to the
design of the line, the pipe and pipe marking, the appurte-
nances, and the minimum installation requirements.
Certifications and guarantee. If request&d by the state
conservation engineer, a qualified testing laboratory must
certify with supporting test results that the pipe meets the
requirements specified in this standard. The seal of
approval of a recognized laboratory on pipe bearing one of
the ASTM designations listed in this standard may be
accepted for this certification.
The installing contractor shall certify that his or her instal-
lation complies with the requirements of this standard. He
or she shall furnish a written guarantee that protects the
owner against defective workmanship and materials for not .
Jess than 1 year. The certification identifies the manufac-
turer and markings of the pipe used.

2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a
detailed justification for such request:
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the reasonableness
of the amount of the penalty and is not the proper procedure for contesting the
accuracy of any of the statements contained in the assessment letter. Because a
remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request
must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a
stipulation that there are no factual or legal issues in dispute. You must execute and
return to this office the attached waiver form and a detailed statement which you
believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-2 82. 1 (b)
were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please submit this information to the attention of:

1 U;J August 10, 2000
Dear Sirs,
On August 8, 2000, we had an incident involving a discharge violation. This
discharge was not premeditated or flagrant. It involved miscommunication, human error
and mechanical breakdown. Listed below is an account of the events that occurred on
August 8, 2000 and August 9, 2000_
At 12:30 p.m., Robbin Best started the irrigation traveler. After starting the
irrigation traveler, Robbin Best could not bring the gun cart in. The motor would not
work_ Unable to repair the motor himself, he called his brother, Jimmy Best, who was at
another location priming tobacco at the tirne. Robbin informed Jimmy of the
circumstances_ Jimmy told Robbin he would be there shortly to repair the motor. Jimmy
was short-handed in the tobacco field and it took longer than he expected to get to the
hog farm. Three hours passed before Jimmy arrived at the farm.
At the same time Jimmy arrived at the farm, Robert Heath of NCDENR, also
arrived. Jimmy then shut the traveler down. The time was 3:30 p.m..
Mr. Heath and Jimmy walked down to the gun cart where they saw standing
water, some of which was escaping into the corner of a wooded area. Mr. Heath then
walked into the wooded area, which is a small percosin, with no inlet or outlet.
Therefore, there is no running water or place for the effluent water to escape. Mr. Heath
saw and photographed several small puddles and one large area, approximately 5Ox5O,
which he presumed to be effluent. The depth of the ponded effluent was 2-4 inches. He

took liquid samples. He instructed Jimmy Best to get a pump, and pump the effluent
back onto the field. Mr. Heath then left.
We immediately went to Clinton and rented a Mud Hog, which is a self -priming
sump pump. We then returned to the hog farm and began pumping_ We pumped
approximately 6 hours on the evening of August 8, 2000, and we pumped an additional 3
hours on August 9, 2000. We recaptured approximately 90% of the standing effluent.
On August 9, 2000, Margaret O'Keefe of the Division of Soil and Water
Conservation arrived for a scheduded annual inspection. We informed her of the
accidental discharge on the previous day_ After her inspection was completed, she then
walked into the wooded area to observe any standing effluent present. She saw.3 or 4
puddles, approximately 3 feet wide and 2 inches deep. She documented this in her
report.
This was our fault. We will make every effort in the future to abide by all rules
governed by NCDENR to prevent any problems. Again, this incident was not
premeditated or flagrant, especially given the fact that our annual inspection was
scheduled for the following day. We are very sorry. Thank you very much.
Sincerely,

Upon arrival, I informed Mr. Best the reason for the visit. I explained that a complaint was lodged that the reel and gun had been
laced in field without engaging the gun cart. Mr. Best stated that the engine was broken and the started the irrigation pump anyway.
asked if he was aware of similar complaints being investigated on this farm in the past and he stated that Mr. Grady Dobson had
ten to the farm to investigate the complaint in the past.
Best then turned off the irrigation pump and joined me in the spray field to determine if waste water had left the field. Waste
s observed entering a ditch at the edge of field and ponding in wooded area. I asked if he was aware of a ditch or stream in the
inity and he stated no streams were present on the property. The area where the waste was ponded is a pocosin.
asked Mr. Best how long the pump had been running and he stated that he started the system at 12:30 PM. The system was turned
ff at 3:30 PM and pumps 375 gal. per minute.
Best stated to the inspector that what he did was wrong. Waste water was ponded in the 5 to 6 inch grass over the entire area of
spray pattern and had migrated both toward to pococin and the other area of the field. I instructed Mr. Best to make an effort to
ever the waste in the pocosin by whatever means were available.

Jimmy. Best Swine Farm
Facility No- 82-102
Sampson County
Dear Mr, Best:
You are hereby notified that, having been permitted to have a non discharge permit for the
subject animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0217, you have been found to
be in violation of your 2H .0217 Permit.
On January 18, 2002, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality conducted an inspection of your swine farm located off SRI 37 in Sampson County
after receiving a complaint regarding waste application running off the field. The inspection
revealed that the irrigation event had been terminated minutes before the inspectors arrival and
that wastewater was discharging from the field into a shallow field ditch. Further investigation
revealed that the field ditch discharged into a canal ditch through an underground pipe under the
farm path. This canal ditch is a tributary of Little Coharie Creek which is Class C-Sw waters.
The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be addressed:
Contact a Technical Specialist or Irrigation Specialist to conduct a wettable acres
determination and to evaluate the current irrigation equipment and submit the
certification within 60 days of this letter.

To Whom It May Concern:
This is regarding a discharge that occurred on Best Brothers Swine Farm
on January 18, 2002. We began pumping at 10:40 AM and shut down at 11-.55
AM. The reason we stopped was that we noticed wastewater trickling into a
waterway field divider that was connected to a drainage ditch. We did not
perceive this to be a problem because we had the waterway dammed off to the
drainage ditch. Due to excessive rainfall in months past there was a small
breach in our dam. This allowed small amounts of hog effluent to enter waters of
the state. Although effluent was in our own ditch, it never entered the state's
ditch at the end of the road. Sometime shortly after 12.00 noon, Bob Heath
arrived. He took water samples, looked over the situation and gave us
recommendations on what to do.
After Mr. Heath's departure, we rented a mud -hog to remove the waste
from our ditch and pump it back into the lagoon. Our estimate of the total gallons
of waste recovered to the lagoon is approximately 500 gallons. There was really
no way to tell exactly how many gallons because there such a small amount in
our ditch. Next, we blocked off the ditch with 30 tons of dirt at the point where
our ditch ran into our canal ditch. The next morning, we blocked off the ditch
before effluent reached to the road ditch. We hired a bulldozer to do the work.
The bulldozer operator pushed additional dirt at the point that our ditch entered
the canal ditch.

We feel that our problem was the wet spray field we were pumping on and
also that our irrigation gun was putting out too much volume for our current spray
conditions. We have therefore made changes to our irrigation equipment to
reduce volume per minute. This includes using a smaller nozzle and, if needed,
a smaller gun. We are also rebuilding our irrigation gun to insure better
operation. In addition, we have met with Bob Heath and also Greer Moore of
Premium Standard Farms and are in the process of getting a wetland
determination. Also, upon their recommendations, we will immediately upgrade
our irrigation design and practices on this farm. When the irrigation design is
completed, we will inform Bob Heath. This incident was an honest mistake and
we will make every effort to prevent this from occuring in the future.
Sincerely,
3fr'r '�2...

This is regarding a discharge that occurred on Best Brothers Swine Farm
on January 18, 2002. We began pumping at 10:40 AM and shut down at 11:55
AM. The reason we stopped was that we noticed wastewater trickling into a
waterway field divider that was connected to a drainage ditch. We did not
perceive this to be a problem because we had the waterway dammed off to the
drainage ditch. Due to excessive rainfall in months past therewas a small
breach in our dam. This allowed small amounts of hog effluent to enter waters of
the state. Although effluent was in our own ditch, it never entered the state's
ditch, at the end of the road: Sometime' shortly after 12:00'hoon, Bob Heath
arrived. He took, water samples, looked over the 'situatiori and gave us
recommendations on"what to `do.
After Mr. Heath's departure, we rented a mud -hog to remove the waste
from our ditch and pump it back into the lagoon. Our estimate of the total gallons
of waste recovered to the lagoon is approximately 500 gallons. There was really
no way to tell exactly how many gallons because there such a smaU amount in
our ditch. Next, we blocked off the ditch with 30 tons of dirt at the point where
our ditch ran into our -canal ditch. The next morning, we blocked off the ditch
before effluent reached to the road ditch. We hired a buttdozerto do the work.
The bulldozer operator'pushed additional dirt at the point that our ditch entered
the canal ditch.

We feel that our problem was the wet spray field we were pumping on and
also that our irrigation gun was putting out too much volume for our current spray
conditions. We have therefore made changes to our irrigation equipment to
reduce volume per minute. This includes using a smaller nozzle and, if needed,
a smaller gun. We are also rebuilding our irrigation gun to insure better
operation. In addition, we have met with Bob Heath and also Greer Moore of
Premium Standard Farms and are in the process of getting a wetland
determination. Also, upon their recommendations, we will immediately upgrade
our irrigation design and practices on this farm. When the irrigation design is
completed, we will inform Bob Heath. This incident was an honest mistake and
we will make every effort to prevent this from occ;uring in the future.
Sincerely,
Robbin Best and Jimmy Best

FAYETTE►I! LLE
REG. OI`F;CE
Dear Sirs,
On August 8, 2000, we had an incident involving a discharge violation. This
discharge was not premeditated or flagrant. It involved miscommunication, human error
and mechanical breakdown. Listed below is an account of the events that occurred on
August 8, 2000 and August 9, 2000.
a
At 12:30 p.m., Robbin Best started the irrigation traveler. After starting the
irrigation traveler, Robbin Best could not bring the gun cart in. The motor would not
work. Unable to repair the motor himself, he called his brother, Jimmy Best, who was at
another location priming tobacco at the time. Robbin informed Jimmy of the
circumstances. Jimmy told Robbin he would be there shortly to repair the motor. Jimmy
was short-handed in the tobacco field and it took longer than he expected to get to the
hog farm. Three hours passed before Jimmy arrived at the farm.
At the same time Jimmy arrived at the farm, Robert Heath ofNCDENR, also
arrived. Jimmy then shut the traveler down. The time was 3:30 p.m._
Mr. Heath and Jimmy walked down to the gun cart where they saw standing
water, some of which was escaping into the corner of a wooded area. Mr. Heath then
walked into the wooded area, which is a small percosin, with no inlet or outlet.
Therefore, there is no running water or place for the effluent water to escape. Mr. Heath
saw and photographed several small puddles and one large area, approximately 50x50,
which he presumed to be effluent. The depth of the ponded effluent was 2-4 inches. He

took liquid samples. He instructed Jimmy Best to get a pump, and pump the effluent
back onto the field. Mr. Heath then left.
We immediately went to Clinton and rented a Mud Hog, which is a self -priming
sump pump. We then returned to the hog farm and began pumping. We pumped
approximately 6 hours on the evening of August 8, 2000, and we pumped an additional 3
hours on August 9, 2000. We recaptured approximately 90% of the standing effluent.
On August 9, 2000, Margaret O'Keefe of the Division of Soil and Water
Conservation arrived for a scheduded annual inspection. We informed her of the
accidental discharge on the previous day. After her inspection was completed, she then
walked into the wooded area to observe any standing effluent present. She saw 3 or 4
puddles, approximately 3 feet wide and 2 inches deep. She documented this in her
report.
This was our fault. We will make every effort in the future to abide by all rules
governed by NCDENR to prevent any problems. Again, this incident was not
premeditated or flagrant, especially given the fact that our annual inspection was
scheduled for the following day. We are very sorry. Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Jimmy and Robbin Best
