in terms of suitability for land application of residuals and maintaining conditions conducive
to crop growth. The Permittee shall implement such recommendations accordingly and shall
maintain written records of each monitoring event that includes details of the sites covered
and rate of soil amendment application,
11. Prior to land applying residuals to any land application site that has previously received or is
intended to receive animal waste (e,g, poultry litter, etc.) or other source of nutrients (e.g.,.
fertilizer, etc.) in the future, the Permittee shall obtain information pertaining to the 'volume
and analysis of the applied waste/nutrients from the landowner andlor lessee/operator of the
site. The Permittee shall be responsible for verifying the volume of residuals that may be
land applied to the site such that the plant available nitrogen (PAN) loading rate for the
specified crop (i.e., see Condition 11. 1.3.) shall riot be exceeded by all of the sources of PAN
applied, Should the maximum PAN loading rate be met or exceeded, then no additional
residuals shall be land applied to the site.

12. A .suitable 'vegetative cover, as listed in Condition II. 13.„ shall be maintained on land
application sites onto which residuals are land applied in accordance with the crop
'management plan outlined by the local Cooperative Extension Office, the Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Services, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, or other
agronomistand as approved by the Division.
13. Residuals and other sources of PAN shall be land applied to all land application sites at
agronomic rates in accordance with the crop management plan -outlined by the local

The Per -mince shall apply for and receive a modification of this permit before land applying
residuals on any land application site that is to be established in a crop other than those listed
above, A MaXiMUTT1 PAN loading rate for the desired crop shall be approved with the permit
modification.
if the land application sites are to he overseeded (e.g., bermuda grass in the summer and rye
grass in the winter with BOTH crops to receive residuals), then the second crop shall receive
an application of PAN at a rate of no greater than 50 pounds per acre per year. This practice
shall be allowed as long as the second crop is to be harvested, lf the second crop is to be
planted for erosion control only and is to be tilled into the soil, then no residuals shall be land
applied to these sites because the PAN will essentially be returned to the soil.
Residuals shall not be land applied at rates greater than agronomic rates, unless authorized by
the Division.
1.4. Animals shall not be grazed on any land application site for 30 days after any residuals land
application event, Sites that are to be used for grazing shall have fencing that will be used to
prevent access after each event.

not be harvested for 30 days after any residuals land application event.

1.6. Food crops with harvested parts that touch the residual/soil mixture and are totally above the
land surface (e.g., tobacco, melons, cucumbers, squash, etc.) shall not be harvested for 14
months after any residuals land application event.
17. Food crops with harvested parts below the. surface of the land (Le., root crops such as
potatoes, carrots, radishes, etc.) shall not be harvested for 20 months after any residuals land
application event when the residuals remain on the land surface for four months or longer
prior to incorporation into the soil.
18. Food crops with harvested parts below the surface of the land shall not be harvested for 38
months after any residuals land application event when the residuals remain on the land
surface for less than four months prior to incorporation into the soil.,
19. Turf shall not be harvested for one year after any residuals land application event.
Adequate provisions shall be taken to prevent wind erosion and surface nmoff from
conveying residuals from the land application sites onto adjacent properties or into any
surface waters.
21. Adequate procedures shall be provided to prevent surface runoff fromcarrying any land
applied or stored residuals into any surface waters.
Surface -applied residuals shall be plowed or disced within 24 hours after land application on
land application sites with no cover crop established.
23, For land application sites that are prone to flooding or within the 100-year flood elevation,
residuals shall he land applied only during periods of dry weather. The residuals shall be
incorporated into the soil within 2.4 hours after land application.
Residuals shall not be land applied during inclement weather or until 24 hours following a
rainfall event of 0.5-inch or greater in 24 hours. Any emergency —residuals land application
measures shall first be approved in writing by the Division.
Residuals shall not be land applied to any land application site that is flooded, frozen, or
snow-covered.
26. Appropriate measures shall be taken to control public access to the land application sites
during active site use and for the 12-month period following the last residuals land
application event. Such controls may include the posting of signs indicating the activities
being conducted at each site.

IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
Land Application Site Requirements:
a. Each land application site identified with a G'G "-A in the most recently -certified
Attachment B of this permit is dominated by soils with a mean seasonal high water table
greater than three feet below the land surface. Residuals land application events may
occur on these sites throughout the year.
b. Each land application site identified with a GW-B in the most recently -certified
Attachment B of this permit is dominated by soils with a mean seasonal high water table
between one and three feet below the land surface. Residual land application events on
these sites shall be prohibited from December through March, inclusive. No residuals
shall be land applied to these sites when the vertical separation between the depth of
residuals land application and the water table is less than three feet. The actual water
table depth for seasonally -restricted soils shall be verified by soil borings within 24 hours
prior to any residuals landapplication event that occurs from April through November,
inclusive. The number of borings advanced shall be sufficient to characterize water table,
conditions across the land application site adequately. Any open borings shall be
properly filled with native soil, prior to the residuals land application event, to decrease
the chance of any residuals contaminating the groundwater.
Able Boundary Requirements:
The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for residuals land application programs is specified
by regulations in 15A .NCAC 2L (i.e., "Groundwater Classifications and Standards").
The Compliance Boundary for each land application. site is established at either 250 feet
from the residuals land application area or 50 feet within the property boundary,
whichever is closest to the residuals land application area. An exceedance of
Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to
irumediate remediation action according to 1.5A NCAC 21_ ,0106 (d)(.2).
b. The REVIEW 'ROUNDARY shall be established around each land application site
midway between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the residuals land
application area. Any exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at the Review'
Boundary shall require action in accordance with 1.5A NCAC 27 _0106 (d)(2).
Additional 'Requirements:
aAny groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be
provided.

V. INSPECTIONS
Prior to each residuals land application event, the Perminee or his designee shall inspect the
residuals storage, transport, and application facilities to prevent malfunctions and
deterioration, operator errors, and discharges that may cause or lead to the release of wastes
to the environment, a threat to human health, or a nuisance. The Permittee shall. maintain an
inspection log or summary including at least the date and time of inspection, observations
made, and any maintenance, repairs, or corrective actions taken by the Permittee. This log of
inspections shall be maintained by the Permittee for a period of five years from the date of the
inspection and shall be made available to the Division or other permitting authority, upon
request.
Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the .Division may, upon
presentation of credentials, enter and inspect any property, premises, or place on or related to
the land application sites or facilities at any reasonable time for the purpose of determining
compliance with this permit; may inspect or copy any records that must be kept under the
terms and conditions of this permit; and may obtain. samples of groundwater, surface water,
or leachate.

PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
L Within 180 days of the issuance of this permit, the Permittee shall prepare and submit a
permit modification application package to the Division of Water Quality (Division) for
review. This application package shall request approval of additional land applications sites
to receive residuals under the conditions of this permit. The additional sites shall be of
sufficient acreage to facilitate the complete agronomic assimilation of all of the nutrients
contained in the residuals from the source identified in Condition H. 7. Within this same
timeframe, the Permittee shall develop a course of action with respect to improving the
residuals treatment (i.e., stabilization) and storage facilities currently available at the Tyson
Poultry, Inc. Harmony, NC Rendering Plant. The application package, therefore, shall also
contain information related to determining a treatment process that will produce a more stable
residuals product, developing sufficient storage that adequately meets the needs of the overall
residuals management program, as well as proposing a schedule to complete any requisite
studies and implement the findings generated therefrom. Five copies of the application
package shall be submitted to the NCDENR-DWQ, Non -Discharge Permitting Unit, 1617
Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617.
The residuals land application program shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -
discharge system to prevent the discharge of any wastes resulting from the operation of this
program.
3. This permit shall become voidable if the soils of the land application sites fail to assimilate
the residuals adequately and may be rescinded unless the land application sites are maintained
and operated in a manner that will protect the assigned water quality standards of the surface
waters and groundwater.
4. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages to
surface waters or groundwater resulting from the operation of this residuals land application
program.
5. In the event that the residuals land application program is not operated satisfactorily,
including the creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall cease land applying
residuals to the site, contact the Water Quality Section of the appropriate Division of Water
Quality's (Division) regional office, and take any immediate corrective actions as may be
required by the Division.
6. No residuals other than those generated by the residuals source -generating facilities listed in
the most recently -certified Attachment A of this permit shall be approved for land application
in accordance with this permit.
7. When residuals are land applied under the conditions of this pennit, the Class B pathogen
requirements as defined in 40 CFR Part 503 or the Process to Significantly Reduce Pathogens
(PSRP) as defined in 40 CFR Part 257 Appendix 11 shall be met. Additionally, an evaluation
shall be performed that demonstrates the residuals' ability to comply with this requirement.
Upon request, a copy of this evaluation, including all test results and calculations, shall be
submitted. Only residuals that are generated by the residuals source -generating facilities that
are identified as being exempt from this condition in the most recently -certified Attachment
A shall not be required to comply with the specified pathogen reduction requirement.
2

8. Only the land application sites listed in the most recently -certified Attachment B of this
permit are approved for residuals land application.
9. This permit shall become voidable unless the agreements between the Permittee and the
landowners and lessees or operators of any land application sites listed in the most recently -
certified Attachment B of this permit not owned by the Permittee are in full force and effect
These agreements shall be considered expired concurrent with the expiration date of the
permit and shall be renewed at the same time the permit is renewed.
10. The appropriate local governmental official (i.e., county manager, city manager, etc.) shall be
notified at least 24 hours prior to the initial residuals land application event to any new land
application site. In addition, the appropriate county manager's office shall be notified prior to
the initial residuals land application event on any new site so that they will be aware that
residuals land application activities have commenced on the site.
11. The Water Quality Section of the appropriate Division's regional office shall be notified at
least 24 hours prior to the initial residuals land application event on any new land application
site. Such notification to the Regional Water Quality Supervisor shall be made during normal
office hours (i.e., from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m.) between Monday and Friday, but excluding
State Holidays. A list of the Division's regional offices, their county coverage, and their

fertilizer, etc.) in the future, the Permittee shall obtain information pertaining to the volume
and analysis of the applied waste/nutrients. from the landowner and/or lessee/operator of the
site. The Permittee shall be responsible for verifying the volume of residuals that may be
land applied to the site such that the plant available nitrogen (PAN) loading rate for the
specified crop (i.e., see Condition Il. 13) shall not be exceeded by all of the sources of PAN
applied. Should the maximum PAN loading rate be met or exceeded, then no additional
residuals shall be land applied to the site,

residuals on any land application site that is to be established in a crop other than those listed
above. A maximum PAN loading rate for the desired crop shall be approved with the permit
modification.
If the land application sites are to be overseeded (e.g., bermuda grass in the summer and rye
grass in the winter with BOTH crops to receive residuals), then the second crop shall receive
an application of PAN at a rate of no greater than 50 pounds per acre per year. This practice
shall be allowed as long as the second crop is to be harvested, If the second crop is to be
planted for erosion control only and is to be tilled into the soil, then no residuals shall be land
applied to these sites because the PAN will .essentially be returned to the soil.
Residuals shall not be land applied at rates greater than agronomic rates, unless authorized by
the Division.
14, Animals shall not be grazed on any land application site for 30 days after any residuals land
application event. Sites that are to be used for grazing shall have fencing that will be used to
prevent access after each event.

not be harvested for 30 days after any residuals land application event.
16.. Food crops with harvested parts that touch the residual/soil mixture and are totally above the
land surface (e.g., tobacco, melons, cucumbers, squash, etc.) shall not be harvested for 14
months after any residuals land application. event.
6

17. Food crops with harvested parts below the surface of the land (i.e., root crops such as
potatoes, carrots, radishes, etc.) shall not be harvested for 20 months after any residuals land
application event when the residuals remain on the land surface for four months or longer
prior to incorporation into the soil,
18. Food crops with harvested parts below the surface of the land shall not be harvested for 38
months after any residuals land application event when the residuals remain on the land
surface for less than four months prior to incorporation into the soil.
19. Turf shall not be harvested for one year after any residuals land application event.
20. Adequate provisions shall be taken to prevent wind erosion and surface runoff from
conveying residuals from the land application sites onto adjacent properties or into any
surface waters.
Adequate procedures shallbe provided to prevent surface runoff from carrying any land
applied or stored residuals into any surface waters.
22. Surface -applied residuals shall be plowed or disced within 24 hours after land application on
land application sites with no cover crop established.
23. For land application sites that are prone to flooding or within the 100-year flood elevation,
residuals shall be land applied only during periods of dry weather. The residuals shall be
incorporated into the soil, within 24 hours after land application.
24. Residuals shall not be land applied during inclement weather or until 24 hours .following
rainfall event of 0.5-inch or greater in 24 hours. Any emergency residuals land application
measures shall first be approved in writing by the Division.
25. Residuals shall not be land applied to any land application site that is flooded, frozen, or
snow-covered.
26. Appropriate measures shall be taken to control public access to the land application sites

IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
Land Application Site Requirements:
Each land application site identified with a GW-A in the most recently -certified
Attachment B of this permit is dominated by soils with a mean seasonal high water table
greater than three feet below the land surface. Residuals land application events may
occur on these sites throughout the year.
b. Each land application site identified with a OW-B in the most recently -certified
Attachment B of this permit is dominated by soils with a mean seasonal high water table
between one and three feet below the land surface. Residual land application events on
these sites shall be prohibited from December through March, inclusive. No residuals
shall be land applied to these sites when the vertical separation between the depth of
residuals land application and the water table is less than three feet. The actual water
table depth for seasonally -restricted soils shall be verified by soil borings within '24 hours
prior to any residuals land application event that occurs from April through November,
inclusive. The number of borings advanced shall be sufficient to characterize water table
conditions across the land application site adequately. Any open borings shall be
properly filled with native soil, prior to the residuals land application event, to decrease
the chance of any residuals contaminating the groundwater.
2. Applicable Boundary Requirements:
a.. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for residuals land application programs is specified
by regulations in 15A NCAC 2L (i.e., "Groundwater Classifications and Standards").
The Compliance Boundary for each land application site is established at either 250 feet
from the residuals land application area or 50 feet within the property boundary,
whichever is closest to the residuals land application area. An exceedance of
Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to
immediate remediation action according to 1.5A NCAC 2L .0106 (d)(2),
b. The REVIEW BOUNDARY shall be established around each land application site
midway between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the residuals land
application area. Any exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at the Review.
Boundary shall require action in accordance with 15A NCAC 2L .0106 (d)(2).
3. Additional Requirements:
a. Any groundwater quality monitoring. as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be
provided.
V. INSPECTIONS
I. Prior to each residuals land application event, the Permittee or his designee shall inspect the
residuals storage, transport, and application facilities to prevent malfunctions and
deterioration, operator errors, and discharges that may cause or lead to the release of wastes
to the environment, a threat to human health, or a nuisance. The Permittee shall maintain an.
inspection log or summary including at least the date and time of inspection, observations
made, and any maintenance, repairs, or corrective actions taken by the Permittee, This log of
inspections shall be maintained by the Permittee for a period of five years from the date of the
inspection and shall be made available to the Division or other permitting authority, upon
request.

In accordance with your application received on November 4, 1999 as well as the additional information
received on November 29, 1.999; November 4, 2000; May 29, 2001; and June 14, 2001,.we are forwarding herewith
Permit No. WQ0000701, dated June 15, 2001, to Tyson Poultry, Inc. for the continued operation of a wastewater
residuals land application program to be run from its Harmony, North Carolina Plant.
This permit not only approves the continued operation of a program for the application of 'residuals derived
frorn the treatment. of industrial wastewater on agricultural land, but also increases the volume of residuals
perrnittedfor land application from up to 4,071 dry tons per year to 5.543 dry tons per year) so that current
production trends are accurately reflected. In addition, this perrnit is being modified to approve new land
application sites as well as remove sites previously approved such that there is a net increase in the acreage
approved to receive residuals (i.e., from approximately 2,270.00 acres to approximately 2,589.56 acres).
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until May 31, 2006; shall void Permit No.
WQ000070.1, issued March 31, 1998; and shall be subject to the conditions and limitationsas specified therein.
Please take time to review this perrnit thoroughly. Of special interest are the .following new and amended
provisions:
• General: The' Permittee for this perrnit has been changed from Tyson Foods, Inc. to Tyson Poultry,
Inc., as the latter is corporation name that is properly registered in the State of North Carolina. The
permit description has been modified to reflect the fact that the volume of residuals approved for land
application has been increased from up to 4,071 dry tons per year to up to 5,543 dry tons per year. In
addition, the amount of land permitted in this land application program has increased from
approximately 2,270.00 acres to approximately 2,589.56 acres.
• Condition t This new condition requires the Permittee to submit a permit modification application
package within 180 days to the Division of Water Quality (Division) for consideration. The application
package should address the need for additional acreage, treat.ment, and storage in order to facilitate the
operation of the residuals land application program in a more effective and efficient manner.
• Condition This new condition requires notification of local governmental officials immediately
prior to land application of residuals onto a newly -permitted land application site.

This new condition requires the Permittee to account for nutrients applied to land
in the form of animal waste when determining agronomic loading rates for the
Condition 11. 6.: This condition has been amended with some language pertaining to allowable plant
available nitrogen (PAN) loading rates when land application sites are double -cropped.
Condition II, 7.: The volume of residuals generated by the Harmony, NC Rendering Plant of Tyson
Foods, Inc. permitted for land application is now 5„.543 dry tons per year. In addition. language has
been added to this condition regarding how residuals from other sources are to be mixed and treated
prior to land application.
• Condition II. 9.: This condition has been amended to reflect the adoption of new rules by the. Water
Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC). The referenced
regulation is now 15A NCAC 8G .0202.

Condition II. 1 le This condition has been amended to require the establishment of a cover crop within
30 days of an application event on land without a previously -established cover crop.
Condition IL 23.: This condition has been amended to forbid the use of any turf cover crop for an one-
year period following residuals land application.
Condition 111, 2..: Additional recordkeeping requirements related to the volume of soil amendments
and animal waste have been added to this condition.
Condition III. 4.: Because the management of residuals at the Harmony, NC Rendering Plant of Tyson
Foods, Inc. has changed (i,e, residuals sources are mixed and then treated and land applied as a single
source), this condition has been amended to require that the residuals be tested for various parameters
every 60 days when land application is occurring.
Condition 111. 5.: Note that is current Division policy to require that a TCLP be performed on the
residuals at least once per permit cycle.

Groundwater Section would consider to be acceptable for the purpose of verifying the water table
depth.

• Condition VI, 3.: This condition has been amended to approve new sites to the residuals land
application program as well as to approve the continued use of some of the sites previously permitted.
The total acreage available for land application of residuals is now approximately 2,589.56 acres(i,e.,

assist the Permittee in identifying those sites that are seasonally restricted as well as those that are
located in the 100-year floodplain.
• Condition VL 4.: This condition has been amended to reflect the fact that an application fee is no
longer required when making an application to the Division to transfer this permit to a new owner or to
reissue this permit such that it reflects a name change of the Permittee.
• Condition VI, 7.: Language has been added to this condition to provide examples of some other rules
and regulations that may affect non -discharge systems like this one.
Please pay particular attention to the monitoring and reporting requirements contained in this permit.
Failure to establish an adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required operational information will
result in future compliance problems.

PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. Within 180 days of the issuance of this permit, the Permittee shall prepare and submit a permit
modification application package to the Division of Water Quality (Division) for review. This
application package shall request approval of additional land applications sites to receive residuals
under the conditions of this permit. The additional sites shall be of sufficient acreage to facilitate the
complete agronomic assimilation of all of the nutrients contained in the residuals from the source
identified in Condition IL 7. Within this same timeframe, the Permittee shall develop a course of
action with respect to improving the residuals treatment (i..e., stabilization) and storage facilities
currently available at the Tyson Poultry, Inc. Harm.ony, NC Rendering Plant. The application package,
therefore, shall also contain information related to determining a treatment process that will produce a
more stable residuals product, developing sufficient storage that adequately meetsthe needs of the
overall residuals management program, as well as proposing a schedule to complete any requisite
studies and implement the findings generated therefrorn. Five copies of the application package shall
be submitted to the NCDENR-DWQ, Non -Discharge Permitting Unit, 1617 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617.

The appropriatelocal governmental official (i.e., county manager, city manager, etc.) shall be notified
at least 24 hours prior to the initial application of the residuals to any new land application site, so that
an inspection can be made of the site and application method, In addition, the appropriate county
manager's office shall be notified prior to the initial application of residuals on any new land
application site so that they .will be aware that residuals land application activities have commenced on
the site.
3, The Fayetteville Regional Office, telephone number [phone], shall be notified at least 24 hours
prior to each land application event on any land application site in Moore County or Richmond County,
so that the regional office is aware of the event as well as to allow for an inspection to be made of the
site and application method if needed. The Mooresville Regional Office, telephone number (704) 663-
1699, shall be notified at least 24 hours prior to each event on any site in Alexander County, so that the
regional office is aware of the event as well as to allow for an inspection to be made of the site and
application method if needed. The Winston-Salem Regional Office, telephone number [phone],
shall be notified at least 24 hours prior to each event on any site in Davie County, Surry County, or
Wilkes County, so that the regional office is aware of the event as well as to allow for an inspection to
be made of the site and application method if needed. Such notification to either Regional Water
Quality Supervisor shall be made during normal office hours from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Monday
through Friday, excluding State Holidays.
4. This permit shall become voidable if the soils fail to assimilate the residuals adequately and may be
rescinded unless the land application sites are maintained and operated in a manner which will protect
the assigned water quality standards of the surface waters and groundwater.
5. The residuals land application program shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge
system to prevent the discharge of any wastes resulting from the operation of this program.
6. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages to surface
waters or ground water resulting from the operation of the residuals land application program.
7. In the event that the residuals land application program is not operated satisfactorily, including the
creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall cease applying residuals to the land application site,
contact the appropriate regional office, and take any immediate corrective actions as may be required
by the Division,
8. Some of the buffers specified belov,, may not have been included in previous permits for this residuals
land application program. However, any land application sites or fields that are included in this permit,
but were approved with different buffers shall be reflagged to comply with the buffers listed below,
The following buffer zones shall be maintained:
a. 400 feet from residences or places of public assembly under separate ownership for surface
application method; however, the buffer zone requirement may be reduced to a minimum of 100
feet upon written consent of the owner and approval from the appropriate regional office;
b. 200 feet from residences or places of public assembly under separate ownership for subsurface
residual injection method; however, the buffer zone requirement may be reduced to a minimum of
100 feet upon written consent of the owner and the appropriate regional office-,
c. 100 feet from any public or private water supply source, waters classified as SA or SB, and any
Class I or Class II impounded reservoir used as a source of drinking water for both methods;
d. 100 feet from any streams classified as WS or B, any other stream, canal, marsh or coastal waters
and any other lake or impoundment for surface application;
e. 50 feet from any streams classified as WS or B. any other stream, canal, marsh or coastal waters
and any other lake or impoundment for subsurface application;
f 50 feet from property lines for both surface and subsurface application methods;

g 50 feet from public right of ways for both application methods;
h. 10 feet from upslope interceptor drains and surface water diversions for both, application methods;
i. 25 feet from downslope interceptor drains. surface water diversions, groundwater drainage systems
and surface drainage ditches for both application methods; and
j. 100 feet from rock outcrops for both application methods.
9. A copy of this permit shall be maintained at any land application site when residuals are being applied
during the life of this permit. A spill prevention and control plan shall be maintained in all residuals
transport and application vehicles.
10. Specific residuals application area boundaries shall be clearly marked on each land application site
prior to and during application,
11.. No residuals at any time shall be stored at any land application site, unless written approval has been
requested and obtained from the Division,
12. The maximum slope for land application of residuals shall be 10 percent for surface application
methods and 18 percent for subsurface application methods.
13. When residuals that are generated from wastewater that contains any percentage of domestic content
are applied, the Class B pathogen requirements as defined in 40 CFR Part 503 or the Process to
Significantly Reduced Pathogens (PSRP) as defined in 40 CFR Part 257 Appendix II shall be met.
Additionally, an evaluation shall be performed which demonstrates the residuals' ability to comply
with this condition. Upon request, a copy of this evaluation, including all test results and calculations,
shall be submitted to the Division.
14. All residuals land applied under the conditions of this peninit shall be subsurfacely injected in order to
reduce the potential generation of nuisance conditions. Surface application methods shall be strictly
forbidden without first applying for and receiving written authorization from the Division.
II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The facilities and land application sites shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. A suitable vegetative cover, as listed in Condition II. 6., shall be maintained in accordance with the
crop management plan outlined by the local Extension Office, the Department of Agriculture, the
Natural Resource Conservation Service, or other agronomist and as approved by this Division.
3. An acceptable pH shall be maintained in the soil, residual, and lime mixture, greater than 6.0, on all
land application sites to ensure optimum yield for the crops specified in Condition II. 6. The
agronomist shall provide information on the pH best suited for the specified crop and the soil type.
4. Due to the potential for the residuals to contain a high salt content, the exchangeable sodium
percentage (ESP) or other method as approved by the Division, using the results from the annual soils
analysis as required in Condition III. 3., shall be monitored on all of the land application sites. The
local Extension Office, the Department of Agriculture, the Natural Resource Conservation Service, or a
North Carolina -licensed Soil Scientist shall review the results and make recommendations regarding
soil amendments or other ameliorative mechanism for maintaining the integrity of the land application
site, The Permittee shall implement such recommendations accordingly,

5. Prior to applying residuals to any land application site that has previously received or is intended to
receive animal waste, (e.g., poultry litter,. hog lagoon effluent, etc.) in the future, the Permittee shall
obtain information pertaining to the volume and analysis of the applied waste, from the landowner
and/or lessee/operator of the site. The 'Permittee shall be responsible for verifying the volume of
residuals that may he land applied to the site such that the plant available nitrogen (PAN) loading rate
for the specified crop (i.e., see Condition II, 6.) is not exceeded by all of the sources of PAN applied.
Should the maximum PAN loading rate be exceeded, then no additional residuals shall be applied to
the site.
The application rate of residuals to any land application site shall be such that the following PAN
loading rates shall not be exceed the following specified crops:
Crop PAN unds/acr Cro
Alfalfa
Bermuda Grass (Hay, Pasture)

250 Timothy, Orchard, & Rye Grass 200
If the approved land application sites are to be double cropped (i.e., a crop in the spring and a second
crop in the fall, with BOTH crops to receive residuals), then the second crop shall receive an
application of PAN at a rate of no greater than 50 pounds per acre per year. This practice shall be
allowed as long as the second crop is to be harvested. If the second crop is to be planted for erosion
control only and is to be tilled into the soil, then no residuals shall be applied because the PAN will
essentially be returned to the soil.

Noncompliance Notification:
The Permittee shall report by telephone to the appropriate regional office (i.e., the Fayetteville
Regional Office, telephone number [phone], for land application sites in Moore County and
Richmond County; the Mooresville Regional Office, telephone number [phone], for sites in
Alexander County as well as the facility in Iredell County; and the Winston-Salem Regional Office,
telephone number [phone], for sites in Davie County, Surry County, and Wilkes County) as
soon as possible,. but in no case more than 24 hours or on the next working day following the.
occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following:
a. Any occurrence with the residuals land application program that results in the land application of
significant amounts of wastes which are abnormal in quantity or characteristic.
b. Any failure of the residuals land application program resulting in a release of residuals to surface
waters.
c. Any time that self -monitoring information indicates that the facility or residuals land application
program has gone out of compliance with the conditions and limitations of this permit or the
parameters on which the system was designed.
d. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons,. that render the facility incapable of
adequate residual .treatrnent,
e ,Anv spillage or discharge from a vehicle or piping system transporting residuals to the land
application site.
Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in letterforrn. within five
days following first knowledge of the occurrence of the non-compliance event. This report must
outline the actions taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the. problem does not recur.
IV. GROUNDWATER REOU REMENTS
1. Residuals land application activities shall not occur when the vertical separation between the depth of
application and the water table is less than three feet, The water tableelevation may be confirmed by
water level readings obtained from groundwater monitoring well(s) near the land application site or
auger boring(s). Any boring(s) made for the purpose of verifying the water table elevation shall be
done within 24 hours before the land application event. The number of borings advanced shall be
sufficient to characterize the water table conditions across the entire site properly.. Any open borings
shall he properly filled in with native soil prior to the land application event to decrease the chance of
any residuals from contaminating the groundwater
2. The COMPLIANCE BOUNDARY for any land application site shall be specified by regulations in
15A NCAC 2L (i.e., "Groundwater Classifications and Standards"). The Compliance Boundary for
each site initiated after Decenther 31,11983 shall be established at either (1) 250 feet from the site, or
(2) 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is closest to the site. An exceedance of
groundwater quality standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to immediate
remediation action in addition to the penalty provisions applicable under North Carolina General
Statute §143-215.6A(a)(1 ).
In accordance with 15A NCAC 2L, a .REVIEW BOUNDARY shall be established around each land
application site midway between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the site. Any
exceedance of groundwater quality standards at the Review Boundary shall require remediation action
on the part of the Permittee.
Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be provided.

ADJUSTED ANNUAL PAN
In order to maximize the nutrient value of the residual material it is necessary to ad
application rates to take into effect the slow mineralization of the organic nitrogen.
following calculations show theadjusted rate for a three year period.
STEP ONE
STEP TWO
STEP THREE
STEP FOUR
STEP ONE
PAN (subsurface)=11.4(TIN-NH3) + (NH3) + NO3-NO2-N
PAN = 0.4(71600 — 35800) + (35800) + 0
PAN = 50120 mg/kg dry residuals
Next convert mg g to lbs/dry ton
Mg/kg * .002 = lbs/dry ton
50120 * .002 = 100.24 lbs/dry ton
STEP TWO Determine the "nitrogen needs" of the crop to be grown
Corn for silage requires 200 lbs PAN/acre
Determine the amount of (PAN) in the residuals to be applied
Deterrnine the "nitrogen needs" of the crop to be grown
Determine nitrogen carry-over for a three year period
Determine application rate of residuals based on "net allowable
nitrogen" application
Determine the amount of PAN in the residuals to be applied
STEP TllMEE Determine nitrogen carry-over for a three year period
Mineralization rates to determine -over nitrogen are listed below:
Year one
Year Two

Year Three 5% of org
plants
20% of organ ie N applied during year one becomes available to
plants
10% of organic N left at the end of year one beco

N left at the end of year one becomes available to

Calculate the percent organic N in the residuals to be applied
Organic N % TKN - % NH3
=7.16%-3.58%
% Organic N — 3.58 %
Next convert % organic N in residuals to lbs organic N/dry ton of residual.
Organic N (lbs/DT) — % organic N (as a decimal) * 2000
Organic N (lbs/DT) _ .0358 * 2000
Organic N (lbs/DT) = 71.6
Next determine the amount of organic N that will be applied during year one
Lbs Organic (N/ac) = lbs organic N/dry ton resid. * tons resid. Appliedlac
Lbs Organic (N/ac) = 71.6 lbs organic N/dt resid. * 1.9 tons resid. Applied/ac
(Based on N req. for corn silage
Lbs Organic (N/ac) = 136.04
% Organic N
Next dete
of organic nitrogen available during year one
Lbs/ac organic N available first year = 136.04 * 20% as a decimal = 27.2
This 27.2 lbs/ac organic N is accounted for in the first year's application rate when
determining the PAN for that year. This number is needed when residuals are applied to
the same field during years two and three. Carry-over N for the second year is calculated
using a percentage of the difference between the organic N applied during year one and
the amount of organic N that becomes available in year one (carry-over). Carry-over N
for the third year is calculated using a percentage of the difference between the organic N
left at the end of year one and the percent organic N that becomes available in year two
(carry-over).
Next determine the amount of organic N left at the end of year one
Organic N applied — organic N that becomes available = organic N left
= 136.04 — 27.2
108.8

Next determine the °ant of organic N applied d ,g year one that becomes available
during year two
Organic N left at end year one — org. 'fc N avail. Year two = organic N left at end year 2
Organic N left at end year two — 108.8 — 10.88 (108,8 * .1) year 2 MR rate

The lifetime limiting factor is the heavy metal content of the residuals. The residual heavy metal
concentrations will be determined by lab analysis and reported in the analyses section of the
permit application.
Residuals analysis change therefore making it necessary to take several analyses during the year.
This will enable the land applier to make the necessary changes in order to track all the
monitoring requirements and adjust application rates accordingly.
Program Management
Based on our conversation with Tyson the method of application used will be injection. This will
include mostly cropland, which is only accessible during certain times of the year. Based on this
fact some farmers will need to be compensated for access to their fields outside of the cropping
pattern. Pasture land would enable year round access but farmers may be more reluctant to have
that land injected. With an adequate land base this program could run with few hitches. This
would entail getting on a rotation and sticking to it in order to maximize both the land base and
production seen by the participating farmers.
Conclusion
If all the above, mentioned parameters are met this residual material should provide an excellent
nutrient source for all the participating farmers as well as an environmentally acceptable means of
beneficially reusing the residual material.
Sincerely
Alan Brown

Hi Mike & Greg,
I informed Tyson and the new land application contractor for Tyson (EMA
Resources) not to. apply Tyson sludge per the latest soil sample evaluation
review by Perry Wyatt in the Winston-Salem Regional Office. He is very
concerned about the high concentration of soluable salts (among other things}
in all the fields tested. Due to his evaluation and a long record of over
application on this farm, Tyson has (wisely) chosen not to re -permit. the
Adams farm in the permit currently in-house.

Ellen,
Hope things are going well for you, The weather has been wonderful and I hope you have been able to get out
and enjoy it, Now to business. Just wanted to update you on our premier client Tyson Foods. To my knowledge
the book is still being worked on. I had a meeting with Brian Wrenn to discuss the 2000 annual report, if my
information is correct it looks like TRS and Tyson are going to receive another NOV with recommendation for
enforcement due to more over applications of PAN. TRS took their 2000 samples in October of '99. Therefore
they did not have any samples in 2000, Although TRS had no samples EMA had sampled before each application
event. Therefore EMA's samples were used to go back and calculate TRS's loadings. To everyone's surprise
there were four or five fields in which a PAN over application occurred. I am not sure of the final ruling or when the
NOV will be issued but Brian said Tyson should receive something in the mail before to long. Back to the permit
renewal. Have you heard anything. Please tell me we have something to be excited about. Please e-mail or call
with any good or not so good news as it becomes available. Remember to take time to enjoy life. Also if you are
unsure of what to cook for dinner I would suggest Tyson chicken.

Thank you for taking the time to meet with EMA Resources and Tyson Foods on November 20th, I believe that a
lot of good ideas came from that meeting and hopefuly they will be put into action. At this time I would like to
request an extension on the permit modification requested by the state, EMA Resources Inc. has been contracted
by Tyson Foods to permit an additional 1400 ac to add to their existing program. As everyone knows permitting
land is a timely process and we would like an additional 6 months to complete this work. EMA Resources has
every intention of completeing this work as soon as possible. EMA Resources will keep you updated on our
progress, If I can be of any further assistance please feel free to give me a call.

Alan,
I hope that everything is going well with you!
Per our meeting on November 20, 2001 and your subsequent e-mail,
we understand that Tyson Poultry, Inc. will not be able to comply
with the original 180-day timeframe for compliance with, this
requirement as stipulated in Condition. I. 1. of the most recent issuance
of
Permit No, W0000701. Therefore, we will be issuing a Notice, of
Violation (NOV) for failure to comply with a permit condition when. the
180-day timeframe has expired. There will be no recommendation
for enforcement associated with this NOV. Also, Tyson. Poultry, Inc.
will be given up to 75 days to respond to the NOV, essentially a
requirement to submit the package for review and approval, a timeframe
that is significantly longer than that typically allowed. for
Permittees to respond to NOVs. The NOV language will further stipulate
what
will occur if Tyson Poultry, Inc. fails to meet this secondary
deadline. No modification will be made to the existing permit.
Please note that this request was discussed internally among
several parties, and several approaches were discussed. This decision
was made based on the
following:
• Six months was given to comply with this condition. No
indication was provided to the Division by Tyson Poultry, Inc. during
the
permit negotiation process or immediately following permit
issuance that this timeframe was unreasonable.
• All parties should have been well aware of this permit
condition. It was discussed during the permit negotiation, process,
called to
Tyson, Poultry, Inc,'s attention in the, permit cover letter, and
was the very first condition in the permit.
• The Division. approached Tyson Poultry, Inc. about the
potential non-compliance with this condition in November 2001. It was
only
after this contact by the Division that a meeting to discuss this
condition was requested by Tyson Poultry, Inc..
• During our meeting, it was indicated that the land
application, sites had. been identified, but that soil sampling, mapping,
and other
documentation for each site had not been completed. We tried to
budget in sufficient time in. the 75-day time period for the lab time,
the
holiday season, etc. We do not believe that this alternate
timeframe is unreasonable. Let me know if we misunderstood your
progress to
date.
I am sure that this is not the response that you wanted to
receive from us, but I hope that it proves to be an acceptable

Dear Ellen,
I hope this clears things up concerning Tyson Foods permit # 701. First I will address the
lime issue. We have already applied lime to fields RA1.-N and RAI-G. I will include the
lime receipts for these two fields. As for field RA1-B that field was not applied to during
2000. The confusion may have come from the soils analysis. Field RA1-B was sampled
at the same time all the other fields were sarn.pled therefore showing up on the soils
report.
The over application of PAN to five fields was done before EMA Resources, Inc. was
hired by Tyson Foods to manage their land application program. The following is a brief
history of the situation. TRS, Inc. did not take any samples during 2000. They were
using samples taken in October of 1999, When the annual report was compiled that was
the only information EMA Resources had. At that time EMA Resources noted in the
cover letter of the annual report that there was an over application to field GD-01. The
over application was 257.3 lbs, of PAN with a limit of 250. At that time we contacted the
Mooresville regional office and received the ok to apply to this field at a reduced rate of
200 lbs. of Pan. That was the only over application of PAN noted in the annual report.
Upon meeting with Brian Wrenn when the annual report was submitted he informed me
that since TRS did not take any samples during 2000 that he would have to use a sample
taken by EMA Resources. With that in mind. TRS's application rates based on a sample
they had never seen resulted in the over applications of PAN. Although EMA Resources
had nothing to do with the over applications of PAN we will take all steps necessary to
correct the problem. At this time all fields included in site RAI have already been
removed from the land application permit. As for sites GD-01, WK3-2 and HD-01 they
will be removed from the permit as soon as possible. I hope this clears things up but in
the case that it does not please feel free to give me a call.

Dear Grady,
This letter is a follow up to the biosolids spill that was reported to you on Friday
November 9, 2001. At about 5:00 am a truck hauling biosolids from the Tyson Foods
Plant in Harmony, NC (permit number WQ000701) had an accident and rolled the truck
on River Rd. off of HWY 109 in Montgomery County. EMA Resources Inc, being the
contract land applier immediately enacted our spill control plan once we were notified of
the accident. First off we had two pumper trucks come and remove the biosolids that had
not spilled from the tanker approximately 5000 gallons. At this time we were also able to
pick up the biosolids that had spilled onto the ground around the tanker, This material
was then taken to a permitted land application field and spread according to the permit.
The truck and tanker were then removed from the wreck scene. Upon further inspection
of the site it was noted that the residual rnaterial had run about 150 feet into the woods
along a small drainage ditch. A burro was made to ensure no further movement of the
biosolids. Next we applied 300 lbs. of lime thoroughly covering the remaining residuals
and incorporated it into the soil to the best of our ability. The site of the wreck and spill
was in a very densely wooded area with lots of underbrush, Inspection of the area
showed no signs of a water source such as a well or stream. There were no homes within
site of the accident. The owner of the land was on site for the clean up and was satisfied
with the job performed by EMA Resources. if I can be of any further assistance please
feel free to give me a call,
Sincerely
Alan. Brown

This is the follow-up land application inspectior. cnriducted on 10-2-00, and referenced in the
storage facility inspection report dated October 2, 2'000. Tyson has contracted EMA Resources as
their land application contractor. EMA Resources :ectintly started land application activity (from
Harmony storage only) on land permitted in Alexmader County. The residuals are being injected
to a depth of approximately 10 inches into the soil. The site was properly buffered and overall the
application looked very good. The application was completed on 10-10-00. One odor complaint
was received (104-00) from a nearby neighbor. There was a slight odor detected at the time of
inspection and also on 10-10-00. After careful co7sideration., Tyson has decided to remove this
field (Vaughn Rogers) from the permit. This permh is currently in-house for renewal (with
amendment). The residual will continue to generate odor complaints unless there are some
treatment. changes made in Tyson's residual treatment process.

Hello, I just wanted to touch base with you about a few issues that you and Erik have discussed concerning the
Tyson Foods program. First, we would like to meet with you and the Winston Salem Regional Office
Representative to discuss the situation with Tyson's current land base in the program and the availability of any
land for land application. Also, once the contract is signed, we will be coordinating agricultural lime application on
a few sites which have not received it as of yet. We will be receiving a list of these sites and coordinate with you to
assure you they are receiving lime. We would like to try and have the stipulation in Tyson's permit pertaining to the
addition of lime for odor control, removed. The permit states that the lime will be incorporated into the residuals at
least 30 minutes prior to application, and the pH is required to be raised to 10. This stipulation is based on surface
application. EMA Resources, Inc. will manage this program by injecting 100% of the residuals, and agricultural
lime will be applied on all application sites needing ph adjustment following residuals application, For this reason, it
is our belief that the current stipulation should not be required. We have talked to Dr. Bob Rubin concerning this
stipulation, and it is his belief that this stipulation could be removed if the proper management practices are used.
He has written EMA Resources, Inc. a letter stating this, What steps do you think we need to take to remove this
stipulation from the permit? We are prepared to meet with you or submit a formal letter requesting this. Please
contact me to discuss this process in more detail, Finally, could you send us the ORC Forms you discussed on
Friday so we can list ourselves as the ORC and back-up ORC for Tyson Foods. We would welcome an
opportunity to meet and discuss the future of Tyson's land application program and it's challenges. We feel that it
is imperative to develop a professional working relationship and confidence with both the DENR and Tyson in.
order to get this program to where it needs to be. If you have any questions please feel free to give Erik, Mike or
myself a call anytime. We are looking forward to meeting with you,
Sincerely

Burke, Chatham, Iredell, and Wilkes Counties
;$,441:1,11
Concerning Tyson Foods, which is located in each of the four
counties listed in the subject of this memo.
There are four Tyson facilities that will be land applying
in four counties (Alexander, Davie, Rowan, Wilkes), covering
two regions. I am not clear if all facilities can land apply
on the same field, if so, the pollutant loadings appear to
be incorrect.
A permit modification is requested that concentrated
sulfuric acid be used instead of caustic. The pH of 10 would
have to be modified. I feel tle low pH of this material will
facilitate the migration of metals into the groundwater.
The saponification of fats does occur when using caustic,
however, the making of soap is accomplished by using 50%
caustic at 140° F. A soft soap, such as those in the
dispensers, can be made when using potassium hydroxide.
I feel that Tyson should be made to make an application for each
of the four facilities and list the land application sites on
each permit. Also, Mike Prker, of the Mooresville office, was
involved in the meeting with Dr. Rubin a Tyson Foods, MS, I put
in this matter is vital.

Dear Ellen,
Dr. Richard C. Reich
Di rcclor
I am conce -d. about the ver-applicationof biosolid residuals by Terra Renewal Services, TRS,
for Tyson Foods on the Adams Farm that Charles Lee is renting for corn and soybean
production. 1 believe it is having an adverse affect on crop production and yield.
On June 25,1999, Charles Lee and 1 exarnined corn on the Adams Fami., 1 found the corn to be
extremely stunted with yellow streaks between the veins. A definite pattern of damage was
observed. There would be four rows of damaged corn and then two rows of normal com.
Damaged corn was only six inches tall and noluial corn 5 feet tall,
On July 1, 1999, Charles Lee, Kent Messick, Am-onomic Division, Field Services Section Chief,
and 1 revisited the Adams farm to take soil and plant tissue samples. While there we observed
the application ofbiosolids. We sampled the biosolids and measured the application area
receiving two thousand gallons.. We calculated the area covered to be 3000 square feet for an
application rate 29,069 .gallons per acre. Waste analysis report number W00148W showed 27
lbs. PAN per 1000 gallons. This is an application rate of 785 lbs PAN per acre.
The application rate of 785 Ibs. PAN from the biosolids is far above the permitted application
rate of 160 lbs. PAN per acre for corn for grain and 200 lbs. PAN for soybeans. it is suspected
that the stunted symptoms are a result of over application of nutrients applied in 1999,
On May 22, 2000 Charles Lee, Kent Messick and 1 returned to the Adams Farm to evaluate the
growth of this years corn crop. We found some stunting but not as severe as in 1999. We took
soil and tissue samples of a corn field where biosolids had been applied. We found biosolids
approximately 6 inches under the stunted corn and the soil test results show a nitrate level of 163
ppm. under the bad and 164 pprn under the good corn. This is approximately 291 lbs. PAN per
acre. We did not check for ammonium in these two samples. However Mr. Lee did apply
nitrogen to the corn crop and this is also contributing to the high nitrate level.
On May 30, 2000 Charles Lee, Ellen Huffman., Division Water Quality; Steven Smith, Terra
Renewal Services; Daniel Crowe and Danny Wyatt of Tyson Foods, and 1 met at the Adams

Dear Ivl_r. Crowe:
Enclosed is the non -discharge inspection report that was conducted on
September 19, 2000 by Mrs. Ellen Huffman with this Office. This inspection is part
of our initiative to inspect all non -discharge programs during each calendar year.
It is noted in Ms. Huffman"s report that Tyson is in the process of having Horizon
Engineering inspect the subject storage facility and develop a spill plan for the facility.
The spill plan is to be submitted to the Division of Water Quality upon completion.
The inspection reports should be self-explanatory; however, if you have any
questions, please contact Mrs. Huffman or me at [phone].
Sincerely,

The Tyson Harmony Plant renders waste poultry by-products into a "corn meal" type product that is
used as an additive for animal feed products. Residuals from the 'Wilk.sboro, Townsend Foods, and
Case Farms plants are transported to the Harmony Plant where they are further processed and stored,
or are land applied "as is" after mechanical DAF process. There has been no land application activity
from the Harmony facility since issuance of the Notice of Violation/Notice of Recommendation for
Enforcement on June 12, 2000. Tyson is currently providing additional treatment for Wilkesboro,
Townsend, and Case Farms DAF residuals at the Harmonyplant. Tyson is sending all of the residual
material from Hamiony's residuals storage facility to Alabama for land application. The residual storage
facility was inspected during this visit. The new contractor, EMA Resources, is planning application
activity (in October, from storage only) on land permitted in Alexander County. A fellow -up inspection
will be conducted once the above mentioned land application activity begins. Tyson does not have a
spill plan for the Harmony storage tank (as required) but has hired Horizon Engineering to review all
of their facilities; and Horizon Engineering is scheduled to inspect the Harmony facility on September
27, 2000. Tyson will send the completed spill plan to Raleigh and the MRO.

Comment: This permit does not require fecal analyses or vector attraction reduction, however,
fecal analyses should be considered as a monitoring parameter, as long as waste from the
Wilksboro, Townsend Foods, and Case Farms plants, can be applied "as is" after DAF
mechanical treatment. Only the Harmony Plant has a process that is "hot" enough (160-200°F)
to get adequate fecal kill. Waste shipped to Harmony is pre -heated before being processed in a

As the current permit allows, wastes from the Wilkesboro, Townsend Foods, and Case Farms
Facilities can be land applied "as is" or receive further treatment at Harmony. Each waste stream is
sampled and analyzed separately. Calculations submitted in the 1999 annual report were found to
be questionable and confusing. DWQ returned the 1999 annual report. A revised 1999 annual report
was received July 21, 2000. Subject permit is currently being processed for renewal.

Ellen thank you for taking the time to meet with us and helping to get this project going in the right direction, l
guess next time we can meet in Mooresvillo if you would please send us an electronic copy of Tyson's current.
permit we would be happy to make the corrections we would like to see put into place., As you are aware I think
the main concern is with the addition of lime:. Please get back with us on what Shannon's comments are and we
wall work to put something together as quickly as possible, if Shannon can hold the renewal until we get some new
land to run on we could have something in probably two to three weeks.

To: <E1len.Huffman r@x ncmail.net>
Ellen,
Howdy! How are things? I wanted to thank you for forwarding your comments on Tyson's existing permit. I have a
few comments for your review. I also will fax a copy of the ORC designation form for your files. We will also be
applying lime to the required sites next week and I will you send you a letter confining this once it is completed.
Based on your comments on the Union Co, facility permit, and our discussion of the Harmony facility permit, the
following are my comments:
(11c)- Tyson does mix the residuals in there storage tank at Harmony. Also, according to a recent Fecal analysis
taken from the storage tank (which is representative of what will be land applied), the levels of fecal coliformlg
were near levels for Class A requirements and definately below Class B requirements. I will fax you a copy of this
analysis for your review,
According to the most recent ttl. nutrient analysis taken from the storage tank, the sol. salts content was very low
(<1 %). This could be a reflection of Tyson's recent upgrade in their treatment process. We expect this trend to
continue,
III (2a) Proof of Stabilization
We understand from Tyson that the residuals are introduced into the storage tank at approx. 250 degrees F due to
the process of pelletizing a portion of the material to sell as feed. It is our belief that the waste generated from this
process (which is land applied) has been adequately stabilized and can be proven by the Fecal analysis.
*I would think that Tyson must reduce or eliminate pathogens in the "pelletized" product before they could sell for
feed.
HARMONY FACILITY PERMIT
(12) We request that this requirement for the addition of
be eliminated for residuals which are injected.
e to raise the pH to 10, 30 minutes before application
Also, I wanted to talk to you about how we get approval if we want to place a 20,000 gallon Frac tank in the field as
basically a transfer station. This is because one potential farm is located about 90 miles from Harmony. If we send
a load from Harmony and during the 1.5 hour travel time, it rains at the site, we dont want to send the Toad back to
the plant. A Frac tank would allow us to unload at the site, and wait until land application is suitable. Anyway, we
can talk about this in more detail.
I apologize about being so long winded, but I just wanted to keep you updated. We are currently looking for
suitable land around the area as well as setting a meeting with the farmer in Montgomery Co. to see if his land will
work. We are moving as fast as possible..
Please let me know what Shannon in Raliegh has to say.
I will leave you alone now. Bye.

From: "Alan Brown" <[e-mail]>
To: <[e-mail]>
Hello. I just wanted to touch base with you about a few issues that you and Erik have discussed concerning the
Tyson Foods program. First, we would like to meet with you and the Winston Salem Regional Office
Representative to discuss the situation with Tyson's current land base in the program and the availability of any
land for land application, Also, once the contract is signed, we will be coordinating agricultural lime application on
a few sites which have not received it as of yet. We will be receiving a list of these sites and coordinate with you to
assure you they are receiving lime. We would like to try and have the stipulation in Tyson's permit pertaining to the
addition of lime for odor control, removed. The permit states that the lime will be incorporated into the residuals at
least 30 minutes prior to application, and the pH is required to be raised to 10, This stipulation is based on surface
application. EMA Resources, Inc. will manage this program by injecting 100% of the residuals, and agricultural
lime will be applied an all application sites needing ph adjustment following residuals application. For this reason, it
is our belief that the current stipulation should not be required. We have talked to Dr. Bob Rubin concerning this
stipulation, and it is his belief that this stipulation could be removed if the proper management practices are used.
He has written EMA Resources, Inc. a letter stating this. What steps do you think we need to take to remove this
stipulation from the permit? We are prepared to meet with you or submit a formal letter requesting this. Please
contact me to discuss this process in more detail. Finally, could you send us the ORC Forms you discussed on
Friday so we can list ourselves as the ORC and back-up ORC for Tyson Foods, We would welcome an
opportunity to meet and discuss the future of Tyson's land application program and it's challenges. We feel that it
is imperative to develop a professional working relationship and confidence with both the DENR and Tyson in
order to get this program to where it needs to be. If you have any questions please feel free to give Erik, Mike or
myself a call anytime. We are looking forward to meeting with you.

Alan Brown

Facility Description:
A. Facility Operations:
This facility is primarily a rendering facility, which receives offal and
byproducts from other Tyson Foods processing plants and renders these
into useable secondary products (feed ingredients, etc.)
The facility uses oils for fuel, lubrication, and various needs associated
with business operations, and stores poultry fats and oils. Hence, oils are
stored in various locations throughout the site in above ground tanks, and
underground storage tank, etc. The location of these tanks, etc. is
depicted on the site plan (Appendix 1.)

B. Facility Storage:
Note: All tanks are steel tanks. Al
otherwise noted as UST.

The topography and construction of the site is such that potential releases
from the storage areas would flow in either of three (3) general patterns.
Any potential release from T-1 would first be contained in the existing
earthen berm. Beyond this, drainage would flow overland into a small
unnamed tributary which makes confluence with Hunting Creek
approximately 200 feet downstream.
Any potential release from T-2 and T-3 would first be contained in existing
concrete dikes. Beyond this, drainage would flow overland into Hunting
Creek..
Any potential release from SA-1 would flow over a concrete floor, sloped
to a drain sump which conveys to the waste oil storage tank, W©C-1. Any
potential release from SA-1 and/or WOC-1 would flow overland, across a
dirt/gravel parking lot before crossing a narrow vegetated strip before
reaching Hunting Creek.
Any potential release from SA-2,T-4, T-5, T-6 and UST-1 would flow over
concrete floors or concrete pavement that drains into the WWTP influent
lift station. This entire area is sloped in a concave manner such that all
6

drainage, including storm runoff, flows into the WVVTP influent pump
station. The front (east) and sides (north and south) of this concave,
drainage are of high enough elevation so that there is no potential for
overflow and/or release beyond the area in these directions. The back
(west) side is protected by a substantial concrete wall (approx. 8 feet high)
which joins into the natural slope of the other three (3) sides to form a very
nice concrete bowl around the pump station.
4. Spill History
There have been no spill events resulting in the detectable off site release of
oil products within the twelve (12) month period preceding the initial
preparation of this plan.
A record is maintained of all spill events that result in any detectable release
of oil products off site and/or to any navigable waters. This record is used to
maintain a documented history of all such incidences and the corrective
measures, etc. taken. The record of any such incidence should be attached or
recorded as this plan is updated.

6. Prevention Measures Provided
Drainage Control Diversionary Structures and Containment
As described in preceding sections, all above ground storage tanks are equipped with
secondary containment in the form of concrete or steel walls or curbing that is designed
to contain at least 110 % of the volume of the single largest tank or container, with the
exception of the WVVTP sludge storage tank, T-1. This tank is encircled by an earthen
berm or dike which is designed to contain at least 110 % of the volume. Although this

containment is earthen, due to the consistency of the sludge and the low percentage of
oil content (maximum 5-10%), the containment is adequate to retain the potential oil
release until reasonable response and clean up could be achieved and thus prevent any
potential release into navigable waters.
The underground storage tank is equipped with corrosion control and state/federal
requirements for leak detection.
The storm drainage system is routinely monitored for any indications of oil and/or other
contaminant release, pursuant to the requirements of the facility storm water discharge
permit and the storm water pollution prevention plan. The effluent from the WWTP,
which receives the majority of all potential spill/drainage, is routinely visually monitored
and the effluent tested to insure that the discharge complies with NPDES permit
limitations, including those for oil and grease.
A. Drainage Control:
(i.) Drainage from diked storage areas:
The containment structures described above are equipped with lockable drain
release valves. These devices are normally closed and must be purposely
opened to release any accumulations.
All containment areas are visually inspected frequently and at least monthly for
the presence of oil sheen or other visible indication of oil. If there is no indication
of oil, accumulations of rainwater may be released by opening the valve. If there
is indication of the presence of oil, the oil must be removed by means of
absorbents, vacuum truck, etc. as appropriate and the collected materials
properly disposed off site in accordance with applicable state, federal and local
requirements.
ii) Plant drainage from undiked areas:
All undiked storage areas of the plant, drain into plant storm drainage facilities
which convey into the WWTP. The discharge from the WWTP is inspected and
sampled in accordance with NPDES permit requirements.
(iii) Final discharge of drainage:
All above ground storage facilities are equipped with containment in the forms of
structural secondary containment. Releases of drainage are controlled manually,
(iv) Facility drainage systems and equipment:
The plant storm drainage collection system is a combination of gravity flow and a
central pump station. These facilities are inspected routinely by plant staff and
9

are the pumping system is equipped with appropriate alarms to warm of any
failures.
B. Bulk Storage Tanks/Secondary Containment:
(i) Tank compatibility with its contents
All tanks are constructed in a manner and with rnaterals suitable for the contents
therein,
fii) Diked area construction and containment volume for storage tanks:
As described previously, all storage facilities are equipped with adequate
secondary containment. Containment is adequate for tank contents plus an
allowance for precipitation. Containment areas are constructed of impervious
materials with the exception of tank T-1 which is discussed on pages 8 and 9
above.
(iii) Diked area inspection nd drainage of rainwater:
Drainage of accumulated rainwater is allowed only after careful examination by
designated staff. Accumulations must be free of any sheen or indicators of the
presence of oils. Drainage is accomplished by unlocking the release valve. The
release port is closed and locked immediately after the drainage is complete.
A drainage discharge report form ( See Appendix 2) is completed for each
drainage release and a copy is maintained on site.
Dv) Corrosion 'Protection of buried metallic storage tank:
The underground storage tank is equipped with corrosion protection in
accordance with applicable state and federal underground storage tank
requirements.
fy) Corrosion protection of partially buried metallic tanks:
Not applicable to this facility.
(v0 Aboveground tank periodic integrity testing:
Above ground storage tanks (ASTs) are visually inspected frequently and at least
monthly, they are formally inspected and the results documented using the
inspection report forms provided in Appendix 3, The ASTs are drained at least
once per ten years for visual inspection and cleaning. Tanks are repaired,
cleaned, painted, etc. as necessary based on the results of inspections, to
10

maintain optimum operating condition and to lessen the possibility of fatiure due
to deterioration.
(vii) Control of leakage through interns( heating coils:
Not applicable for this facility.
(viii) Tank installation fail safe engineered:
The provision of containment provisions as described previously, coupled with
the procedures for monitoring loading operations, routine inspections, etc. are
considered appropriate level of fail safe provisions for these facilities.
fix) Observation of disposal facilities for effluentdischarge:
Discharges from the wastewater treatment facilities are routinely sampled and
monitored in accordance with the terms of the applicable permit. This permit
limits the discharge of constituents, including oil and grease, that are allowed to
leave the facility and be discharged into Hunting Creek. Stormwater releases are
inspected and sampled as required by the plant stormwater discharge permit,
Results of the testing and inspections performed are submitted to the responsible
agencies and copies maintained on site as required by the permits.
Sx) Visible oil leak corrections from tank seams and gaskets:
Any such leaks are detected in the course of the routine inspections described
previously. Any observed deficiencies are reported and repaired promptly. Any
other corrective measures necessary are initiated as appropriate to assure that
there is no release of oil beyond containment. Records of any such deficiencies
and corrective actions are maintained in the inspection records.
(xi) Appropriate position of mobile or portable oil storage tanks:
The company maintains mobile hazardous material response materials
positioned strategically on the plant site. These include equipment and supplies
for quickly responding to and controlling an emergency event such as an oil leak
or spill, The company also has the capability to readily move tanks as needed to
serve as temporary storage facilities. All such facilities are maintained in areas
that are readily accessible and not subject to flooding or washout.
Facility Transfer Operations:
(i) Buried piping installation protection and examination:

Underground piping associated with the underground storage tank is provided
with cathodic protection and leak detection in accordance with state and federal
requirements. In the course of daily activities, the appropriate staff are aware to
look for any visible indication (i.e. surface leak, material loss, visible pipe
deterioration, etc. and to take immediate corrective action as appropriate.
(ii) Not -in-service and standby service terminal connections:
All fill ports, connection points drain plugs, etc, are kept closed, lacked and/or
plugged as appropriate. Any service lines that are to be out of service for an
extended period of time are also marked to clearly indicate the origin contents.
Pipe supports design:
All pipe supports appear to be of sound construction and materials to provide for
secure operations and allow for expansion and contraction.
(iv) Above ground valve and pipeline examination:
Above ground valves and pipelines are inspected at the same time and
frequency as described earlier for above ground tanks. Any indications of defects
and or deterioration are similarly reported and promptly corrected.
(v) Above ground piping protection from vehicular traffic:
Piping is constructed in areas away from or provided with protection from
vehicular traffic.
Facility Tank Car and Truck Loading/Unloading Operations:
(i) Loading and unloading meet DOT requirements:
The company requires that all truck operators be familiar with and comply with all
applicable DOT requirements. Unloading and loading is required to be
supervised at all times by designated staff acquainted with spill prevention
measures and the company spill prevention control facilities, response materials
and procedures.
(ii) Secondary containment for vehicles adequate:
The drainage of the area of vehicle loading and unloading is such that spillage
and/or leakage would collect and be conveyed to catch basins, drains, etc. that
drain to either the plant storm collection system. In the event of a leak or spill
conveyed into the storm drainage system, the staff observing the
loading/unloading procedure should have more than adequate time to dike the
12

spillage with containment absorbents, pillows, berms, etc and also to deploy
temporary blockage in the stormwater collection system to prevent the material
from leaving the plant site and/or reaching navigable waters until removal
procedures could be implemented.
In the area of the diesel and gas fueling pumps, the area is a dirt/gravel lot which
is concave and collects any runoff and would collect any spill or leak. Although
this area is dirt and gravel, the concave shape provides a suitable containment
that would collect any spill or leak from the fueling operation. Any such event
must be followed immediately with proper cleanup of the spilled oils, including the
removal of any impacted soils, to prevent the possible migration off site into
navigable waters.
(di) Warning or barrier system for vehicles:
As described earlier, it is required that properly trained staff be present.
throughout the entire loading and unloading process. A part of their responsibility
is to insure that there is no departure prior to complete disconnect of transfer
lines. Critical areas such as fuel dispensing pumps, fill lines, etc. are protected by
vehicle barriers consisting of concrete filled pipes, raised curbs, etc.
(iv) Vehicles examined for lowermost drainage outlets before leaving:
As described earlier, it is required that properly trained staff be present
throughout the entire loading and unloading process. A part of their responsibility
is to insure that drain outlets appear to be in proper position and not leaking.
E. Inspection/Record Keeping:
Formal facility inspections are conducted at least monthly. These inspections are
signed by the inspector and/or the supervisor. The checklist used for inspections
is contained in Appendix 4. These records are kept on site for a minimum of
three (3) years.
Site Security:
(i) Fencing:
This facility is fairly remote and does not employ extensive security fencing.
Highly sensitive areas have locked doors, etc.
(ii) Flow valves locked:
All tank valves with potential to release tank contents are kept locked when not in
service.
13

(iii) Starter controls locked:
Starter controls are located in secure areas and/or kept locked in the off position
when not in service.
{iv) Pipeline loading/unloading connections securely capped:
Pipeline connections are kept securely capped or valves locked dosed when not
in service,.
(v) Lighting adequate to detect spills:
There is adequate lighting in all oil storage areas and throughout the plant site to
detect any spill or leakage and to discourage vandalism.
Personnel Trainin and S ill Prevention Procedures:
Li) Personnel instructions:
All personnel involved in the spill prevention procedures (i.e. inspections,
monitoring, spill response, etc.) receive initial training by the company to acquaint
them with the SPCC plan, the requirements herein and overall spill prevention.
These personnel also receive periodic refresher training through meetings, topic
discussions, etc. Employees also receive training as a part of ongoing training
pursuant to the requirements of the company stormwater pollution prevention
plan.
(ii) Designated person accountable for spill prevention:
The Plant Manager is the designated person responsible for spill prevention at
this facility.
H. Spill Control Equipment:
The company maintains hazardous material response materials positioned
strategically on the plant site. These include equipment and supplies for quickly
responding to and controlling an emergency event such as an oil leak or spill.
The company also has the capability to readily move tanks as needed to serve
as temporary storage facilities.

Message: Please look at the analyses of these fields (attached). They have been
used as land application fields for Tyson for several years. Last year Tyson
aquired another NOVNRE for over application. It is my wish to get this farm out
of the program all together. Tyson is soon to be in "dire need" and is looking to
ke-apply on this farm again but, only with my blessing. I am concerned with
soluable salts among other things. I would appreciate you knowledgable opinion.
You can e-mail me your review if you like! Thank you very much!

Lab Data
Subject: Lab Data

From: Perry Wyatt
Organization: NC DENR Soil and Water Conservation
To: Ellen fIutTinan
Upon reviewing the lab data the saleable salts are approaching levels
that will cause yield reductions on crops such as corn and soybeans. As
salt concentrations in the soil increase plants must exert increasingly
mere effort to extract water. Saleable salts slso have the potential 1
destroy the soils structure and. reduce water infiltration. Yields began.
to decline whon scluable salt levels are at 1.5 (ECe Concentration,
mmgosEcm), this is assuming that average moisture conditions are
maintained throughout the grouting season. If moisture conditions. are
lower, salt concentration inctv'eases along with salt injury. On average,
salt concentration doubles as the soil dries from saturation to field
capacity. It doubles again as it dries to wilting point.
As you can see from the test results. Fields NliN2,P2,Q1, and 111 are
already above 1.5 while the other fields are approaohing 1.5. I would
suggest that applications to all of these fields be halted before futher
damage to crop pro uc ion an sol s ructure can occur.

management of the land application program at the llttrn ony, NC tactility ( permit It Wt)00O0701), As part
of this projrarn, I MA Resources, lnc. hrot po«rm+tte l t►n estimated 1,750 acres of agricultural land in
Montgomery County to be utilized in they land application program.
The purpose ofthis letter is to request permission to uti line a 20,000 gallon mahlle frac tatak as "temporary "
storage and staging area in the field, when land applying on these sites.
Duo to the fact the application sites are an estimated 00-100 miles from the facility, the transportation time
front the facility to It will be. from 1.5 to 2 hours The 20,000 gallon frac tank will be used primarily fir
instances when weather conditions change while the transportation equipment is en -route causing the land
application event to he delayed. We would like to have the flexibility to unload the biosolids into the frac
tank, as opposed to sending the equipment back to the plant, fully loaded. Also, from a prnd a ion and
efficiency standpoint, we would like to he attic in unload the final loads of the day into the frac tank, tirr the
next morning we cnn land apply the biosolids from the fruc funk while than first loads of the day are en -
The trac
tank will

Groundwater Quality Violations
Contaminated Drinking Water Wells
Residents on Derby-Windbtow Road
Ellerbe, Richmond County
Based on recent sampling activity conducted jointly by the Division of Water Quality and the Richmond County
Health Department, at least three private drinking water supply wells have been identified as exceeding the State
and Federal EPA drinking water quality standards for nitrates_ In addition, first hand accounts from neighboring
property owners indicate that some type of dark liquid material has recently been applied to property that you own
which is located within 400 feet of existing private supply wells.
This letter is to formally notify you in the absence of any other obvious source for the nitrate contamination that you
are considered responsible for addressing the groundwater quality problem and must eliminate the potential
exposure issue for all currently known and any additionally impacted supply wells that are identified in the future.
The reported constituent concentrations exceed those standards for CLASS GA waters which are those fresh
groundwaters as established in 15A NCAC (North Carolina Administrative Code) 2L .0202 (g). Listed below in table

15A NCAC 21..0106 (b);
1. Take immediate action to terminate and control the discharge; and
2. Mitigate arty hazards resulting horn exposure to the contaminants.
In order to tufty comply with these steps, you will need to hire a qualified environmental consultant to determine the
extent of the contamination and to develop a plan to control the discharge. In the interim, the current status of the
supply wells should be determined and the exposure to nitrate at the water supplies listed above should be
corrected immediately. The options for addressing the exposure Issue include; providing bottled water service from
an approved vendor; connecting to a public water system; connecting each residence with a point -of -entry system
using an appropriate filtering technology; or by constructing a replacement supply well that is hydraulically Isolated
from the zone of nitrate contamination.
in addition, it is requested that you provide any details you have concerning the application of waste material to the
agricultural field you own which is located adjacent to 2691 Derby Road, Specifically, this office needs to know
What the waste material consisted of, who applied the waste and the quantity and dates of occurrence.

RE: Notice of Violation dated March 29, 2006

Dear Mr. Barnhardt:
Pursuant to an authorization frotn Mr. Ed Dewitt, Environ rental Hydrogeological

Background
'owing for your consideration.
The farm in question has been used by the Dewitt family since 1950 for cattle operations,
the Francis Moore residence was constructed adjacent to the farm in the 1970's, The
farm consists of two components, pasture areas and seasonal feedlot areas, which are
separated by fencing. Wood shavings containing chicken manure were applied by the
Dewitt's annually to maintain the condition of the pasture areas from 1950 until 2004.
The feedlots were not fertilized during the years they were used to contain cattle at
densities exceeding one animal/acre, The cattle density in the feedlots at any given time
ranged from approximately '2 to 35 cows/acre, depending on herd management
conditions.
The chicken manure was typically applied in late winter prior to the beginning of hay
season. In 2005 and 2006 the pasture fertilization progannr was managed and conducted
by EMvMA, Inc. The two primary reasons the annual fertilization program was changed
from the Dewitt's process to EMA's process was because:
Odor control. The neighbors were complaining about the odor associated with the
chicken manure, which was broadcast across the surface of the ground. EMA's

process involves injecting the waste approximately 3 to 6 inches below the soils
and is reportedly less objectionable.
Cost. The costs associated with EMA's process were significantly less than those
associated with broadcasting chicken manure by Dewitt's equipment and
personnel.
It was Mr. Dewitt's understanding that EIVIA. was injecting biosolids, collected from
Tyson Foods, approximately 3 to 6 inches below the surface on agricultural fields with a
land application permit Coastal Bermuda was the crop Mr. Dewitt was having fertilized.
According to Mr, Mike Collins, the biosolids were being applied at a rate of 176.1
pounds of plant -available nitrogen (PAN) per acre, or 2.9 dry tons of biosolids per acre.
According to the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service's Publication "Fertilizer
Recommendations and Techniques to Maintain Landscapes and Protect Water Quality"
dated 1996, typical application rates range from 90 to 260 pounds of PAN per year. A
study jointly conducted by Environmental Waste Recycling, Inc and the City of Warren,
Ohio published in 1996 discussed a study involving the application of 2.5 dry tons of
biosolids in Advance, NC for "soil conditioner for landscaping and lawn establishment".
Based on this cursory review, the application rates appear to be acceptable. According to
Mr. Dewitt, excessive application would damage the Coastal Bermuda (Le., burn it),
which has not been observed at this farm.
It was subsequently determined the original land application permit with Tyson Foods did
not include Mr. Dewitt's farm, but is in the process of being modified to include his fami.
The most accurate information concerning EMA's process and the appropriate permit
status can be obtained from Mr. Mike Collins at [phone] or [phone].
2 Francis Moore's Wells
It is EHC's understanding that the detection of nitrates in the Francis Moore wells is
being assumed to be the result of the application of animal byproducts by EMA. We
have two concerns with this assumption. First, whether or not the Moore family's septic
field is located with the appropriate buffer zone relative to the supply wells has not been
determined. The radius of influence from the supply well, also know as the "capture
zone", has not been determined either. Therefore, multiple sources of nitrate may exist.
Secondly, the old well is reportedly a shallow well, and the newer well is deeper. They
are located close enough to be considered as nested wells. The detection of nitrogen at a
lower concentration in a well screened between the assumed source and the highest
concentration of nitrogen alludes to a much older problem. The entire area has been
under cultivation for several hundred years. If EMA's operation was the source of nitrate
detected in the deeper well, the concentration of nitrate should be highest at the surface,
and decline with depth through the soil profile. The concentration of nitrate in the
shallow well should exceed the concentration in the deeper well

Notice Of Violation

Pratt Gallimore Well
It is EFIC's understanding that the detection of nitrates in the Pratt Gallimore wells is
being assumed to be the result of the application of animal byproducts by ElviA. We
have two concerns with this assumption. First, there are multiple sources of nitrates
between Mr. Dewitts farm and the Pratt Gallimore well. For example, the Francis Moore
septic field, and potentially the Gallimore's septic system. A second potentially
significant source of nitrogen is the field formerly cultivated by the Galiimores that
separates the Gallimore well from the Moore well. The field was planted in pines 6 to 8
years ago, which may explain why the concentrations of nitrogen are lowest of the three
wells sampled. Since you don't apply nitrogen to pines, it would have had time to
dissipate.
Secondly, the Pratt Gallimore residence is apparently located approximately 1/4 mile
topographically cross gradie t from Mr. Dewitt's farm. Since groundwater flow
directions on a regional scale typically mimic topography, we are assuming the
groundwater flow direction from Mr. Dewin's farm flows west, away from both the
Moore and Gallimore wells, towards the center of Mr. Dewitt's farm, and then south
along a tributary of Naked Creek. Mr. eallimore's well is located east of Mr. Dewitt's
farm.
4 Corrective Action
The Notice of violation specifically requests Mr. Dcwitt to take the following actions:
• Take immediate control to terminate and control the discharge, and
• Mitigate any hazards resulting from exposure to the con.tarninants.
Take immediate control to terminate and control the discharge.
The first action taken was to terminate EMA's involvement at the Dewitt farm.. Dewitt
equipment and personnel will conduct future pasture maintenance operations.
The second action taken was to take the portion of the feedlot adjacent to the Francis
Moore wells out of production. A fence was erected to prevent any unauthorized entry
into the area, The fence's gate is locked and nitrogen application has been terminated in
this area.
Mitigate any hazards resulting from exposure to the contaminants.
EHC is of the opinion the Francis Moore wells do nor comply with the North Carolina
Well Construction Standards (well standards), According to the well standards (15A
NCAC 02C .0107(2), "the minimum horizontal separation between a well, intended for a
single-family residence or other non-public system, and potential sources of groundwater

contamination, which exists at the time the well is constructed, shall be as follows unless
otherwise specified:
(G) Animal feedlots or manure piles. . 100 ft.
The wells need to be properly abandoned, however, Mr. Dewitt does not have the
authority to do so. Therefore, he created the required buffer by fencing off the section of
feedlot adjacent to the wells in question. Nitrogen will no longer be applied to this area,
and it will probably converted to a tree farm since a nitrogen -dependent pasture can no
longer be maintained in this area
5 Conclusion
EMA applied biosolids at a rate of 176.1 pounds of PAN/acre on Mr. Dewitt's farm
during the last two winters as the required annual fertilization of the Coastal Bermuda
pastures used to produce cattle. Based on a cursory review of the literature, this rate is
within normal agricultural practices. This is corroborated by the concentration of nitrate
in the "Francis Moore old well", which is the shallow well. The concentration of nitrate,
in the shallow well isl 1,26 mg/1, which is less than half of the deeper well (avg. 25,14
rag/1). If the detection of elevated concentrations of nitrate were the result of EI'vWs
annual fertilization program, then the shallow well would contain a higher concentration
of nitrate than the deeper well. This, combined with the fact other sources of nitrate are
present in this area (i.e,, septic fields, other nitrogen dependent agricultural practices),
EPIC does not necessarily consider the detection of nitrates in the supply wells to be the
result of EMA's fertilization program conducted in 2005 and 2006.
Mr. Dewitt has voluntarily conducted the following tasks relative to the situation:
• Terminated EMA's involvement at this farm,
• Taken several acres out of production while maintaining the property tax burden,
and
• Invested a significant amount of money erecting a fence creating the buffer zone
for an incorrectly constructed supply well.
I would appreciate your consideration of this information and hope this will satisfy the
intent of the above referenced NOV, If you have any questions or need additional

Notes regarding application to non permitted site
On February 9th received a call from Art Barnhardt (Fayetteville region
DWQ) regarding a complaint from a resident in Richmond County that he
received. He said that the person was questioning a land application event
that occurred in the late fall of 2005 and he wanted to know if it could have
been us. The person mentioned Ed Dewitt. Mr. Barnhardt stated that the
location was at the intersection of hwy 73 and Derby rd. I told him that we
did not have any fields permitted at that location. He said he would look into
it and call me back if he needed anything else from us.
Upon returning from vacation Feb I 7th I had a message from Ed Dewitt
saying that he had been contacted by someone with DWQ in Fayetteville
regarding the same incident. Ed stated to me that he did in fact have our
operator apply to the field at said location in the fall as he thought they were
permitted. I then began our own investigation. The two fields in question are
two of the ones that I have been in discussion with Mr. Dewitt and Tyson to
have permitted. These conversations were started in Sept of 2004 and again
on a couple of different occasions since. However nothing as yet has been
sent to the State to begin the approval process. It is my understanding that
Mr. Dewitt thought that we had them approved already. This is clearly not
the case. We are unable to verify these events with the person operating our
equipment at the time as they are no longer employed with us (effective Jan
I') due to unrelated circumstances.
Mt RN,
I contacted Ed on Mon Feb 20 and arranged to visit the site with Ed. On
Thur Feb 23 I met with Ed and we looked at the fields in question. It does
appear that it was our material that was land applied. I have no reason to
suspect that is was something else. Therefore, I must deduce that we are in
violation of the permit. Obviously, I/we assume full responsibility for this
oversight. Our next course of action will be to await the findings from the
state and respond accordingly.
