IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
I. Land Application Site Requirements:
a. 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 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 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 15.A. 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 15A NCAC 2L .0106 (d)(2).
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).
b.
Additional Requirements:
a. Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, s.hail be
provided..

to receive residuals under the conditions of this pennit. 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 II. 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. Hanriony, 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

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.
2. 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.
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 residua's 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

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.

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 cotrunen.ced 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

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.
21. Adequate procedures shall be provided to prevent surface runoff front carrying any land
applied or stored residuals into any surface waters.

IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
Land Application Site Requirements:
a,. 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 GW-B in the most recently -certified
Attachment B of this permitis 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.
Applicable Boundary Requirements:

by regulations in 1.5,A 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
immediaterernediation action according to 1.5A NCAC 2L .0106 (d)(2).
b. The REVIEW BOUNDARY shall be established around each landapplication 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
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 theenvironment, 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.

6. The residuals shall must be monitored every 60 day from the date of permit 'ss
i wuance by the Permittee
for compliance with Condition I. 13. of this permit (i.e., if compliance with pathogen reduction
requirements if needed). Data to verify stabilization of the residuals shall be maintained by the
Permittee. The required data shall be specific to the stabilization process utilized, but should be
sufficient to clearly demonstrate compliance 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.
7. Three copies of all required monitoring and reporting requirements as specified in Condition III. I.,
Condition III. 2., Condition III. 3„ Condition III. 4., Condition III. 5., and Condition III. 6. shall be
submitted annually on or before March 1st of the year following the land application event to the
following address:
NCDENR-DWQ
Water Quality Section
Non -Discharge Compliance/Enforcemen
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

8. Noncompliance Notification:
The Permittee shall report by telephone to the appropriate regional office (i.e„ the Fayetteville
Regional Office, telephone number (910) 486-.1541, 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 treatment.
e. Any 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 ]etterform 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 REQUIREMENTS
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 table elevation may be confirmed by
wate.r 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 be properly filled in with native soil prior to the land application event to decrease the chance of
any residuals from contaminating the groundwater
3,
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 December 31, 1983 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
rernediation 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 monioring. as deemed necessary by the Division, shall. be provided,

V. INSPECTIONS
1. Prior to each 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 which may cause or lead to the release of wastes to the environment, a threat to 'human
health, or a nuisance. The Perrnittee shall maintain an inspection log or summitry including at least the
date and time, of inspection, observations made, and any maintenance, repairs, or corrective actions
taken by the Perrnitte.e. 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.
2. 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 site
or facility 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.
VI. GENERAL CONDITIONS
This permit shall become voidable unless the land application activities are carried out in accordance
with the conditions of this permit. the supporting materials, and in the manner approved by the
Division.
2. This permit shall be effective only with respect to the nature and volume of residuals described in the
application and other supporting data.
3. The following land application sites shall be approved to receive residuals see attached location
and buffer maps). Note that if only one name is provided in the owner/operator or lessee field of the

Land Application of Sludge
Rowan County
Dear Mr. Sampson:
A site inspection of Tyson's sludge land application program
was conducted on March 17, 1994 by Mr. Michael Parker with this
Office at disposal sites located adjacent to SR 1978 (Rary Road).
Based on Mr. Parker's observations, nuisance conditions (odors)
have been created as a result of the land application operation.
During the course of the investigation, Mr. Parker met with Mr.
Mark Johnson, Plant Manager, Tyson Foods -Harmony Rendering Plant,
who indicated that further application of sludge would be
discontinued at the aforemention sites and that corective action
(tilling and liming) would be initiated to rectify the current
nuisance situation.
Tyson Foods is currenty land applying sludge from both their
Harmony and Wilksboro facilities as well as from Breeden Poultry in
Burke County as authorized by the subject Permit. Sludges from the
Harmony and Wilksboro facilities are processed in a centrifuge
which removes (recycles) most of the solids for reprocessing.
Sludges from Breeden Poultry are not processed in the centrifuge,
but rather taken directly to the field for disposal. Sludges from
all three (3) facilities, however, are supposed to receive lime
prior to application to effectively kill any odor causing bacteria
that may be present. Lime is to be added to a level where the pH of
the sludge reaches at least 10.0 s.u., at which point odor causing
bacteria generally cannot survive. At the present time, the
addition of lime is being done voluntarily by Tyson to minimize
odor concerns.

Mr. Lawrence Sampson, Jr.
March 28, 1994
Page Two
It has become apparent to the Division that the voluntary
addition of lime is not being performed on a consistent basis
resulting in the creation of nusiance odor problems. At the present
time, Tyson has no way of knowing whether lime has been added to
the sludge received from Breeden Poultry since routine checks are
apparently not being made. Furthermore, lime added at the Harmony
facility (after centrifuging) appears to be done in a manner
insufficient to provide adequate mixing prior to application. Part
VI, Condition No. 11 of the subject Permit allows the Division to
incorporate any conditions deemed necessary to adequately protect
the environment and public health. It is the intention of this
Office to recommend that the Permit be modified to add a condition
which will make the addition of lime mandatory, establish a minimum
pH level of the sludges prior to application and require Tyson to
conduct pH monitoring prior to field application. Until such time
as the Permit is modified to incorporate the condition noted above

Summary
On Wednesday, May 24, 2000, the Mooresville Regional Office received a
complaint from Mr. Ben Knox, NCDA, concerning the alleged improper application of
residuals by Tyson Foods, Inc. (TF) on the Dr. Richard Adams farm site off SR 1980
(Montgomery Road) in western Rowan County. Mrs, Ellen Huffman (with this Office)
met Mr. Knox at the Adams farrn on Thursday, May 25, 2000 to further investigate. On
May 30, 2000, Mrs. Huffman and Mr. Knox, met with Mr. Danny Wyatt and Mr, Dan
Crow with Tyson Foods, and Mr. Bo Smith with Terra Renewal Services (the residuals
contractor) at the application sites in question.
Observations made by Mrs. Huffman during the investigation on May 25, 2000,
found that residuals had migrated from the residuals application area (owned by Dr.
Adams) to a neighboring property. Residual migration was apparently aided by a rainfall
event that occurred shortly after the application, Other application areas also showed
signs of residuals migration during the site visit on May 30, 2000. Mr. Knox collected
soil samples from an application field (on Dr. Adams' farm). Results from these tests are
attached.
On June 12, 2000 a Notice of Violation/Recommendation for Enforcement was
sent to Mr. Lawrence Sampson, Jr., Project Engineer, Tyson Foods, Inc., advising him of
the permit violations and the intent of the MRO to pursue an enforcement
recommendation.
Chronology of Events/Correspondence
May 24, 2000 Complaint received in MRO from Mr. Ben Knox, NCDA, concerning
problems at Tyson Foods, Inc. (TF) residuals land application site owned
by Dr. Richard Adams off SR 1980 (Montogomery Road) in Rowan
County.
May 25, 2000 Mrs, Ellen Huffman met with Ben Knox and Charles Lee, farmerileasee of Dr.
Adams' property, at the subject land application site. The sub contracted
operator/truck driver for Terra Renewal Services (TRS) was met at the gate.
The operator could not produce a copy of the permit or a spill plan as required
by the subject permit. Over application of residuals were observed to have
occurred on several fields on Dr. Adam's farm. Photos were taken.
6 2000 Received (via fax) field information for Dr. Adams' farm from Mike
Cook, TRS. Field information was incomplete and date of PAN analyses
was from the previous monitoring period. The method used for calculating
the pounds of PAN was also questionable.
May 30, 2000 Follow-up investigation conducted of Tyson Foods residuals disposal site
by Mrs. Huffman. Accompanying Mrs. Huffman during the investigation
were Danny Wyatt and Dan Crow with TF, Mr. Ben Knox with NCDA

Chronology of Events/Correspondence continued page 2
(complainant), Mr. Charles Lee (farmer), and Mr. Bo Smith with Terra
Renewal Services. The observations that were made on May 25, 2000 by
Mrs. Huffman were pointed out to the TF representatives and Bo Smith.
Soil samples were collected from a field that had recently received waste.
June 12, 2000 Received soils analysis (performed by USDA) from Mr. Ben Knox for the
soil samples taken on May 30, 2000 by Ben Knox. Analyses show high
nitrogen and high soluble salts on several fields.
June 12, 2000 NOV/NRE sent to Mr. Lawrence Sampson, Project Engineer, Tyson
Foods, Inc., indicating violations of the subject permit had been
documented. Mr. Sampson was informed that an enforcement
recommendation would be pursued.
June 13, 2000 Letter from Ben Knox documenting questionable land application
activities since June 1999, by TRS sub -contractor, Lundy, Inc. Letter also
clarifies which fields Mr. Lee (the farmer) had applied fertilizer.
July 7, 2000 A fax response to the NOV/NRE from Dan Crowe, Tyson Foods, was
received at the Mooresville Regional Office. The response indicated that
Tyson had informed Lundy (subcontracted by TRS for land application
services) of permit requirements. Tyson also stated that Lundy was
responsible for the failure to comply with the permit„ as instructed.
July 17, 2000 Trucking logs received from Mike Cook, TRS. Review of logs showed
application during February on partially frozen land as well as inappropriate
cover crop of corn (should be a winter crop such as winter wheat).
,u172
2000 Review of resubmitted annual report for 1999 confirmed over application
of residuals in 1999 on the Adams farm. The first annual report was
returned May 30, 2000 as 'incomplete' by Non -Discharge Compliance /
Enforcement Unit. The resubmitted report is also incomplete. PSRP
(stabilization) data is not included in the report as required by permit

CIVIL PENALTY ASSESSMENT FACTORS FOR WATER QUALITY CASES
CASE NAME: Tyson Foods, Inc.
ASSESSMENT FACTORS:
4. CAUSE OF THE VIOLATIONS)
The violations are the result of Tyson Foods, Inc.(TF) failing to comply with the terms
and conditions of their land application Perrnit.
Permit Condition 1. 7. requires that a copy of the permit be maintained at the land
application site when residuals are being applied and that a spill prevention and
control plan be maintained in all residuals transport and application vehicles.
None of the vehicles on site had spill control plans or a copy of the State issued
perrnit.
Permit Condition 1... 8, requires that specific residual application area boundaries be
clearly marked on each site prior to and during application. No buffers were
marked.
Permit Condition IL .4 requires application rate not exceed the application rate
specified in the permit. The contractor staff on site could not verify application rate.
Additionally, application rate appeared to be excessive as injected residuals were
.surfacing in several. places and there were signs of residual migration throughout the
application field.
Permit Condition II, 12 requires that adequate provisions be made to prevent wind
erosion and surface run-off from conveying pollutants from the residuals
application area onto adjacent property or into any surface waters. Evidence of
residuals run-off could be seen at several application sites. Resid-uals run-off was
also observed to have entered adjacent property.
Permit Condition 11.15 requires that residuals not be applied at rates greater than
agronomic rates unless authorized by the Division. Soils tests confirm the
observation of application greater than agronomic rates.
.Permit Condition ITI. 2 requires that proper records be maintained by the Permirtee
to track all application activities. These records shall include, but are not
necessarily limited to the following:
a„ source of residuals
b, date of residuals application
c. location of residuals application (site, field, or zone #)
d.. method of application
e. weather conditions (sunny, cloudy, raining, etc.)
f. soil conditions
g. type of crop or crops to be grown on field
h. volume of residuals applied in gallons/acre, dry tons/acre or
kilograms/hectare

annual and cumulative totals of dry tons/acre of residuals, annual and
cumulative pounds/acre of each heavy metal (which shall include, but not be
limited to cadmium, copper, lead, nickel, and zinc), annual pounds/acre of
plant available nitrogen (PAN), and annual pounds/acre of phosphorus
applied to each field.
Neither Tyson Foods nor TRS could provide adequate loading data or cumulative
totals for land application activities for previous events at these sites. Also not
recorded were residual stabilization monitoring, method of application, weather
conditions, soil conditions, and type of crop.
B. THE DEGREE AND EXTENT OF HARM CAUSED BY THE VIOLATION(S)
Residuals did not appear to have entered surface waters.
C. DURATION OF THE VIOLATION(S)
The violations occurred sometime between July, 1999 and May, 2000.
D. EFFECT OF VIOLATION(S) ON WATER, PUBLIC HEALTH AND FISH
OR WILDLIFE
There is no documented effect on water or public health as a result of the
violations.
E. EFFECTIVENESS OF ANY PREVENTIVE OR RESPONSIVE MEASURE
TAKEN BY THE VIOLATOR
Tyson Foods did not take any preventive or responsive action.
F. COST OF RECTIFYING THE DAMAGE OR INFORMATION THAT
WOULD BE NEEDED TO DETERMINE THE COST, SUCH AS
PROCESS RATES, CLEAN UP COSTS
Cost of damage is difficult to determine. Crop damage has been confirmed, but
crop has not yet been harvested.
G. THE ALLEGED VIOLATOR'S PREVIOUS RECORD OF COMPLIANCE
OR NONCOMPLIANCE
Tyson Foods (TF) was assessed a penalty for violations of the subject land
application permit on February 3, 1993 (case no.VVQ92-021). The penalty
($2,456.39) was paid in full on February 16, 1993. TF was also assessed a penalty
for violations of the subject permit on January 7, 1998 (case no. 97-005). The
penalty ($4,440.77) was paid in full on January 20, 1998. Other Division
enforcement cases include LV 96-014 (NPDES Permit limit violations), in which
TF was assessed $4,806.06 on October 31, 1996 and the company paid in full on
November 21, 1996.

MITIGATING, AGGRAVATING ATIN ACTOR , IF ANY
This Office is concerned with the past history of poor management of T's non -
discharge activities. Tyson seems to have a `lack of concern' about the permit
conditions, and poor oversight of their sub -contractor, TRS. This is not the first
violation for over application of residuals that Tyson has had. Getting field data
from TRS was difficult at best. Requested field data (sent by TRS) for this
Office's review was incomplete. Last years annual report (by TRS) was returned
as incomplete Resubmitted annual report by Tyson Foods (also incomplete)
revealed PSRP testing for residual stabilization was not conducted nor reported
for 1999.

NCGS 143-215.1 OF CIVIL PENALTY
FOR FAILING TO PROPERLY )
OPERATE AND MAINTAIN )
LAND APPLICATION SYSTEM)
Acting pursuant to North Carolina General Statute (G.S.) 143-215.6A, I, Kerr T. Stevens,
Director of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ), of the North Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources, make the following:
. FINDINGS OF FACT:
Tyson Foods is an incorporated business organized and existing under the laws of
the State of North Carolina,
B. On March 31, 1998, DWQ issued Water Quality Permit No. WQ0000701 to
Tyson Foods for the operation of a wastewater residuals land application program.
Residuals sources are Harmony, Case Farms, and Townsend processing plants.
Permitted disposal sites are located in Alexander, Davie, Rowan, Yadkin, and
Wilkes Counties.
C. On May 25, 2000, DWQ stafffrom the Mooresville Regional Office observed
poor operating conditions on several areas of Dr. Richard Adams farm in Rowan
County.
D. Said permit contains the following relevant conditions:
Permit Condition I. 7 requires that a copy of the permit be maintained at the
land application site when residuals are being applied (during the life of the
peirnit) and that a spill prevention and control plan be maintained in all
residuals transport and application vehicles. None of the vehicles on site had
spill control plans and a copy of the State issued permit was not available,
Permit Condition I. 8 requires that specific application area boundaries be
clearly marked on each site prior to and during application. No buffers were
marked as required.
Permit Condition II. 4 requires that application rates (stated in the permit) not be
exceeded for specified crops. The sub -contractor staff on site could not verify
application rates. Additionally, application rates appeared to be excessive as
injected residuals were surfacing in several places and there were signs of
residual migration throughout the application field.

Permit Condition II. 12 requires that adequate provisions be taken to prevent
wind erosion and surface runoff from conveying pollutants from the residuals
application area onto the adjacent property or into any surface waters.
Evidence of residuals run off could be seen at several application sites.
Residuals run-off had also entered adjacent property along a fence line.
Permit Condition II. 15 requires that residuals not be applied at rates greater
than agronomic rates, unless authorized by the Division. Soils tests indicate
that residuals were being applied at much greater than agronomic rates.
Tyson's Nitrogen calculation method is questionable.
Permit Condition III. 2 requires that proper records be maintained by the
Permittee tracking all application activities. These records include, but are not
necessarily limited to the following:
a, source of residuals
b. date of residuals application
c. location of residuals application (site, field, or zone 4)
d. method of application
e, weather conditions (sunny, cloudy, raining, etc.)
f. soil conditions
g. type of crop or crops to be grown on field
h. volume of residuals applied in gallons/acre, dry tonsiacre or
kilograms/hectare
i. annual and cumulative totals of dry tons/acre of residuals, annual and
cumulative pounds/acre of each heavy metal (which shall include, but not be
limited to cadmium, copper, lead, nickel, and zinc), annual pounds/acre of
plant available nitrogen (PAN), and annual pounds/acre of phosphorus
applied to each field. Neither Tyson Foods nor TRS could provide adequate
loading data or cumulative totals for land application activities for previous
events at these sites. The method used to calculate PAN does not adequately
reflect what is in the storage tank at Tyson Harmony Plant. Sampling
procedures need to be changed to more accurately reflect the material being
land applied.
A notice of Violation concerning the (above mentioned) violations was sent to
Tyson Foods, Inc. by DWQ's Mooresville Regional Office on June 12, 2000.
F. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $429,64.
Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following:
11. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
Tyson Foods. Inc. is a "person" within the meaning of G.S.143-215.6A pursuant
to G.S. 143-212(4).
B. The disposal system cited in Findings of Fact B. above falls within the definition
of same at G.S. 143-213(10) or G.S. 143-213(17),
C. A permit is required for the disposal of wastewater pursuant to G.S. 143-
215.1(a)(9) and Part VI, Condition No. 4 of DWQ Permit No. WQ00007

D. Tyson Foods, Inc. violated G.S. 143-215.1(a)(9) and Part VI, Condition No, 4 of
DWQ Permit No. WQ0000701 by failing to properly operate and maintain a non -
discharge land application system.
E. Tyson Foods, Inc. may be assessed civil penalties in this matter pursuant to G.S.
143-215.6A(a)(2), which provides that a civil penalty of not more than twenty five
thousand dollars per violation may be assessed against a person who is required
but fails to apply for or to secure a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a)(9).
F. The State's enforcement costs in this matter may be assessed against Tyson Foods,
Inc. pursuant to G.S. 143-215.3(a)(9) and G.S. 143B-282.1(b)(8).
G. The Director, Division of Water Quality, pursuant to delegation provided by G.S.
143- 15.6A(h), has the authority to assess civil penalties in this matter.
111. DECISION:
Accordingly, Tyson Foods, Inc. is hereby assessed a civil penalty of:
for failing to comply with Permit Condition I. 7, which requires
that a copy of the permit be maintained at the land application site
when residuals are being applied (during the life of the permit) and
that a spill prevention and control plan shall be maintained in all
residuals transport and application vehicles, None of the vehicles
on -site had spill control plans and a copy of the State issued permit
was not available.
for failing to comply with Pennit Condition I. 8, which requires
that specific residual application area boundaries be clearly marked
on each site prior to and during application. No buffers were
marked as required.
for failing to comply with Permit Condition II. 4, which requires that
application rates shall not exceed rates for the specified crops in the
permit. Application rates could not be verified by the sub -contractor
staff on site. Application rates appeared to be excessive as injected
residuals were surfacing in several places and there were signs of
residual migration throughout the application field. Review of
(application) truck logs indicated poor weather conditions during
land application activities. Photos show run-off from several
application fields (of the Adams farm) migrating into natural
drainage areas.
for failing to comply with pennit condition II. 12, which requires
that adequate provisions be taken to prevent wind erosion and
surface runoff from conveying pollutants from the residuals
application area onto the adjacent property or into any surface
waters. Evidence of residuals run-off could be seen at several
application sites. Residuals run-off was also observed to have
entered adjacent property.

for failing to comply with Permit Condition 11. 15 which requires
residuals shall not be applied at rates greater than agronomic rates,
unless authorized by the Division. From the sample data collected, it
appears that residuals are being applied at much greater than
agronomic rates. Soil samples show high nitrogen and high soluable
salts. Review of 1999 annual report confirms over application or
residuals on the Adams farm,
for failing to comply with permit condition 111. 2, which requires
records be maintained by the Pennittee to track all application
activities,
TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY, which is percent of the
maximum penalty authorized by G.S. 143-215,6A,
429.64 Enforcement costs
TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
As required by G.S. 143-215,6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have
considered the factors listed in G.S.143B-282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent ofharm to the natural resources of the State, to the public
health, or to private property resulting from the violations;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violations;
(3) The effect on around or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality,
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage-,
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violations were committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs
over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority;
and
The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.

Subject: Tyson Permit
Date: Thu, 3 Aug 2000 1 1:45:41 -0400
From: "Erik Blankenship" <emablankenshipgnnindspring.com>
To: <Elten.Hu.ffn]angmeemail.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 confiming 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:
I (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 coliform/g
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
I (12) We request that this requirement for the addition of time to raise the pH to 10, 0 minutes before application
be eliminated for residuals which are injected.
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 1,6 hour travel time, it rains at the site, we dont want to send the load 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 wil
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.
