you can obtain one at any bankruptcy clerk's office. You may look at the schedules that have been or will be filed at the bankruptcy
clerk's office. If your claim is scheduled and is not listed as disputed, contingent, or unliquidated, it will be allowed in the amount

by filing a complaint in the bankruptcy clerk'soffice by the "Deadline to File a Complaint to Determine Dischargeability of Certain
Debts" listed on the front side. The bankruptcy clerk's office must receive the complaint and any required filing fee by that deadline.

MANAGEMENT PLAN
The residual solids management program proposes that residual solids from the Wampler Foods,
Inc. wastewater treatment facilities (Permit No. WQ0006860) be applied to the proposed fields as
an agricultural resource at agronomic rates. The residual solids will be applied to row crops and hay
or pasture land at agronomic rates for total or partial replacement of conventional nitrogen and
phosphorus (N and P) fertilizers. The actual amount of residual solids applied will be dependent
upon the nutrient requirement of the specific crop and the nutrient content of the residual solids.
Residual solids will be applied at agronomic rates, which are limited by nitrogen loading rates. In
this manner, groundwater monitoring should not be required. Soil pH will be adjusted to 6.0 prior
to residual solids application.
Residual solids application scheduling will be dependent upon residual solids production, storage at
the respective treatment plant, and the crop management program. All application sites (proposed
or permitted) are currently double cropped. Applications are planned to be made in the spring and
fall. Applications to row crops will be made prior to planting of the respective crops.
Prior to an application event, an application rate will be determined based on a current nutrient
analysis. Representative residual solids samples will be collected prior to the haul period and
composited for analysis. This composite sample will then be delivered to a qualified laboratory
familiar with residual solids analysis and analyzed for ammonia nitrogen, nitrate/nitrite nitrogen,
percent total solids, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium,
copper, zinc, cadmium, chromium, nickel, lead, aluminum, arsenic, mercury, selenium, and pH.
Plant available nitrogen (PAN) will then be calculated from this residual solids analysis. This
information will be used to calculate the loading rate for the field and crop.

Once the appropriate application rate has been calculated, the residual solids will be removed from
the respective treatment facility and transported to the site in trucks designed for hauling residual
liquids. The trucks will then travel major traffic routes to the fields whenever possible. Once at the
field, the trucks will proceed to a designated staging area. The residual liquids will then be removed
from the trucks using liquid residual equipment. Liquid residuals will be land -applied with a tractor
and pull -behind liquid tank. The equipment will be calibrated regularly to insure that even and
consistent application rates are delivered. The residual liquids removal, hauling and land application
will be conducted by Bio-Nornie Services, Incorporated.
All residual liquids will be removed from the staging area by the end of the working day, unless
equipment breakdown or weather prohibits the residual liquid application. At the start of each day,
all fields will be inspected by the field superintendent. Equipment will only enter a field when
conditions are appropriate for the application. Residual liquids will only be applied when the field
is capable of supporting equipment without extensive rutting and hydraulic overloading. When
field conditions are not appropriate for an application, such as during wet periods, the residual solids
will remain at the wastewater treatment plant until field conditions are suitable for land application.
Prior to the residual solids operations, the field superintendent and appropriate source personnel will
inspect the site. During the field inspection, the field superintendent will note the standard North
Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources - Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
buffer zones including homes, drainage ditches, roads, wells, surface water, and property boundaries
(listed in Table ). On the basis of these standard DWQ buffers for land treatment programs,
buffers will be established in the field. These buffers will be identified in the field by the placement
of pin flags.

SPILL CONTROL PLAN
WAMPLER FOODS, INC.
MARSHVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA
In the case of a spill, which occurs in or adjacent to the application area, the following action should
be taken immediately:
Halt the source of the spill: Ruptured truck tank, or damaged transport unit.
2. Mobilization: Move the on -site spill control trailer to a capture position downgradient from the
source of the spill.
Contain spill to inhibit migration to surface waters: Use straw bales, booms, and absorbent
pads to form a barrier. Straw bales can be obtained from several sources for this purpose. Soil
near the site can be used to form a barrier for containment or a pit for collection. Spill
containment points should be selected based on:
a. Their ability to contain sediments and/or offer filtration;
b. Visual impacts and potential for downstream impacts;
c. Accessibility by vacuum trucks or loading equipment; and
d. Application field boundaries and property lines.
4. Clean up: Use residual solids application equipment to recover as much of the material as
possible. After the application equipment has recovered as much material as possible, it will be
land applied as per operation plan. A temporary sump pit may be dug not the containment area
and spilled material washed into it to enhance recovery. If spilled material contacted surface
water, dissolved oxygen (DO) should be monitored during cleanup activities. Extended periods
with less than 5mg/L DO may cause anoxic conditions for aquatic life in the stream.
5 Final cleanup: Any unrecoverable material will be removed from the spill site and
incorporated into an adjacent tillable area or applied in accordance with operation plan. All
straw bales, booms, and absorbent pads should be removed from the spill site and disposed of
properly.
6. Notification: As soon as possible after a spill occurs notify:
a. Vvrampler Foods, Inc. at [phone] Mr. John Gangwer
b. Landowner
c. Department of Environment and Natural Resources - Mooresville Regional office at (704)
663-1699
7. Management of cleanup efforts: The field superintendent shall take immediate charge of the
cleanup activities. Additional labor will be requested from the treatment plant as needed.
Reporting: Within 24 hours of a spill the field superintendent shall present a written report
detailing the cause of the spill and all action taken in response to the spill.

APPLICATION TES
The application rate will be based on the plan t available nitrogen (PAN) requirement for the crop
and the PAN content in the residual solids, The PAN requirement for the specific crop will be
derived from limits listed below in Table 2. Crops typically grown in the area are trrilo, corn,
soybeans, and small grains.

The PAN content of the residual solids will be based on: total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN),
ammonium -nitrogen (NIE- d), nitrate -nitrogen ( OrN), nitrite nitrogen (NQ2- ) content, and the
moralization of organic nitrogen into inorganic nitrogen. Most of the nitrogen in the residual
solids is in an organic form. As the residual solids are incorporated into the soil, the soil
microorga isms utilize the residual solids as an energy and nutrient source. In the process, a portion
of the organic nitrogen is rmneralized or biologicall^ converted into inorganic nitrogen.

Various environmental factors such as temperature, moisture, and carbon to nitrogen ratio will
affect the mineralization rate. Typical mineralization rate factors range from 0.2 to 0.4. A
mineralization rate of 0.30 has been selected for this program due to the wastewater treatment
process used at the facility.
The application rate will be calculated based on the mineralization rate, TKN, NH4-N, NO3-N, NO2-
N content, and method of application. Residual solids, which are incorporated into the soil,
typically retain a large portion of the NH3 gas, which is found in the residual solids or is converted
from the NH4-N form. However, when residuals are surface applied a large portion of the NH3 is
volatilized and lost as a nutrient for crop uptake. The actual plant available nitrogen content for
equal residual solids is less when the residual solids are surface applied compared to when the
residual solids are incorporated into the soil and the NH3-N gas is trapped by the soil. To reflect the
lower PAN content for surface applied residual solids due to the volatilization of NH3-N gas, the
portion of NI-14-N in the residual solids contributing to the PAN is reduced by 50%.
The PAN content of residual solids is calculated for incorporated and surface application as follows:
A. PAN, incorporated = 0.30 (TKN NH4.-N) + NH4-N .+ NO3-N + NO2-N
B. PAN, surface applied = 0.30 (TKN - NH4-N) + 0.5(N114-N) + NO3-N + NO2-N
where:
0.30 = Mineralization factor
TKN = Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen
NH4-N = Ammonium nitrogen
NO3-N = Nitrate nitrogen
NO2-N = Nitrite nitrogen
0.50 = Volatilization factor
PAN Applied = (Dry Tons/Ac) (% Solids) (%PAN)

MONITORING
The residual solids and soil are sampled at specific i ttervals to insure beneficial utilization for
gficultural production: Residual solids samples are obtained for each land application event, The
residual solids samples are collected and delivered to a laboratory qualified to analyze residual
solids and
e environxne
sample preparation and standards.
A residual alysis is conducted for, but not limited to, the fo owing parameters aminoma
nitrogen, nitrate's itrite nitrogen, percent total solids, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium,
calcium, magnesium, sodium, copper, zinc, cai ` urn, chromium, nickel, lead, aluminum, arsenic,
mercury, selenium, and pH. Annual TCLP analysis for regulatory compliance is also conducted,
Once each year, the fields e sampled for routine soil fertility and lime requirements. Although the
soil samples are collected in fall or winter seasons, the soil samples may also be collected between
croppin s. Once the soil samples are collected, they are delivered to either the North Carolina
Department of Apiculture - Agronomic Division or A & L Eastern Agricultural Laboratories, Inc.
for routine soil analysis,

RECORDS

RESIDUASOLID GENERATION AND CH CTERISTICS
The combined wastewater flow is generated from the process of waters used in the killing and
dressing out of turkeys; which includes process water (>99%), plus a small contribution of sanitary
waste <1 °4 , which is discharged directly into two lagoons in sequence. The first lagoon has an
aeration area that is curtained off from the second lagoon and then effluent is discharged into the
Union County treatment system,

LISTING OF POTENTIAL SITES
The Marion Cox farm (Tract UN-32) has seven fields that were previously permitted. The
additional potential sites are adjacent to the currently permitted acreage. Please note that the
installation of a center pivot irrigation system for application of animal waste has reduced

(These values can be established for the specific residual or default values can be used for domestic wastewater
treatment residuals. If actual values are established, attach the documentation. The default values are as follows):
Unstabilized Primary and Secondary Residuals 40%
Aerobically Digested Residuals 30%
Anaerobically Digested Residuals 20%
Composted Residuals 10%
(If the default values are used, attach an explanation as to why the specific chosen default value is appropriate)
2. Complete the following calculations for the application method proposed (Please note, the
Mineralization Rate [MR] should be utilized in the following calculations as a decimal):
PAN for Surface Application
PAN = [(MR) X (TKN —N1-11)] + .5 X (NH3) ± (NO3-NO2.-N)
PAN = [ 3 X ( 59,700 - 10,300 )] + .5X ( 10,300 ) + 0
PAN = 19,970 PPM Dry Weight
PAN for Subsurface Application
PAN ----- [(MR) X (TKN NH3)] + (NH,) (N0,-NO2-N)

Due to the fact that organic nitrogen is mineralized slowly over time, the amount of nitrogen that comes available in years
following the initial application must be taken into consideration when calculating application rates for the subsequent
years. This being the case, please attach an evaluation of this factor and its impact on loading rates. Show the adjusted PAN
for at least five years.
The maximum adjusted annual PAN is 76,973 Pounds/Year.

f. Determine the Site Life for this land application site:
The lifetime pollutant loadings shall not be exceeded, The site life is determined by calculating the number of years that the site
can receive the residual without exceeding the lifetime pollutant loadings. The site life calculations will be based on the most
restrictive crop plant available nitrogen (PAN) requirement specified and the maximum dry tons or residuals to be land applied
annually, Therefore, in the table below the Tons of Residuals to be Applied/Acre/Year will be calculated as:
1. Most restrictive crop based on the plant available nitrogen (PAN) requirement: Soybeans doublecropped with Small Grains
Associated plant available nitrogen (PAN) requirement: 250 (lbs,/acrelyear)
Minimum acres needed based on most restrictive PAN (as found in C.5 above): 307.88 acres
3, Dry Tons of Residuals to be land applied per year 1,300 dry tons per year
4. Tons of Residuals to be Applied/Acre/Year Dry Tons/Year of Residuals to be land applied
Minimum number of acres required for land application
Tons of Residuals to be Applied/Acre/Year = 4,22
If any of the application sites are to be loaded at greater than the rate specified above, please specify the loading rate and explain:
Tons of Residuals to be Applied/Acre/Year (different from above) -
Explanation:
For the purpose of site life determination, the lifetime pollutant loadings shall not exceed the following for the corresponding
Cation Exchange Capacities (CEC). Site life for the site covered by this application shall be determined by using the lowest CEC.
The appropriate column should be chosen and applied in the "Allowable Lifetime Pollutant Loadings based on CEC" in the table

MAR1ON COX FARM
TRACT UN-32
The Marion Cox Farm is located in the southeastern corner of Union County. The farm is
approximately 7 miles south of Monroe, North Carolina and is located 0.7 miles south of the
comer of the intersection of Highway 601 and S.R. 1940 (Latitude 34° 51' 25" Longitude 80° 26'
30"). The farm is located on the eastern side of Highway 601.
There are six additional fields which total 266.6 net acres that are proposed as land application
sites. The addition of these fields to permitted land is due to land purchases by Mr. Cox. Fields
8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 are currently being used for crop production in small grain, corn,
soybeans, and milo.
The topography over the fields vary from gently sloping to moderately sloping, however several
erosion control structures have been implemented at the farm. A center pivot irrigation system
has also been installed on the property to dispose of swine waste. However, the land being used
by the center pivot irrigation system will not be utilized for land application activities. The
center pivot irrigation system also affects the net acres previously permitted for this site. The
acreage for affected fields has been modified and can be found in the Field Data Sheet for the
Previously Permitted Land contained in this section. Buffer requirements for set backs from
drainage areas, residences, property lines, and water supplies have reduced the useable areas at
the farm. However, the useable acreage in these fields should be considered prime for use as a
land application site. Refer to "Buffer Maps" and Field Data Sheets" for specific buffer
requirements and acreage totals.
The results of the soil analyses for these fields, included in this report indicate no gross
deficiencies in the fertility of these fields. By using standard agricultural practices for the
management of forage and crop production, the operator should see significant benefits from the
application of residuals. Both the soils and the crops should be able to assimilate the proposed
loadings of liquids, solids, nitrogen, phosphorus, heavy metals, and salts known to be in the
residual. This assessment is based on the residual analysis provided, the planned application

rate, proper crop management guidelines and adherence to permit requirements. Soil pH should
be maintained above 6.0 and at levels to ensure optimal crop production. Nitrogen is considered
the most limiting characteristic of these residuals, however soil tests should be reviewed annually
to identify any changes in the nutrient status of the soil.
Crop rotations and management practices should be evaluated prior to each application to
account for changes in the proposed crop rotation and land use objectives. Crop management
guidelines that will be of importance for this site will be:
timing of application events with plant nutritional needs and periods of plant dormancy,
split applications to prevent hydraulic overloading or nutrient leaching, and
performance of proper stabilization methods to fit crop and soil needs.
A field investigation was conducted by a soil scientist/agronomist. Preliminary soils information
for this site was obtained from Union County Soil Conservation Service. A licensed soil scientist
preformed site borings to characterize the proposed application sites. Fields 8, 9, 10, 12, and 13
consisted primarily of Badin, Cid, and Tatum soil series. Fields 8, 9, 10, 12, and 13 should have soil
borings to verify that the apparent water table is greater than three feet below the land surface prior
to land application of residuals. Field 11 contained the Tatum soil series and is recommended for
year round applications. Field investigation sheets are included in this Section. Soil series
characteristics are contained in Appendix 1 of this report.

MANAGEMENT PLAN
The residual solids management program proposes that residual solids from the Pilgrim's Pride
Corporation wastewater treatment facilities (Permit No. WQ0006860) be applied to the proposed
fields as an agricultural resource at agronomic rates_ The residual solids will be applied to row
crops and hay or pasture land at agronomic rates for total or partial replacement of conventional
nitrogen and phosphorus (N and P) fertilizers. The actual amount of residual solids applied will
be dependent upon the nutrient requirement of the specific crop and the nutrient content of the
residual solids.
Residual solids will be applied at agronomic rates„ which are limited by nitrogen loading rates.
In this manner, groundwater monitoring should not be required. Soil pH will be adjusted to 6.0
prior to residual solids application.
Residual solids application scheduling will be dependent upon residual solids production, storage
at the respective treatment plant, and the crop management program, All application sites
(proposed or permitted) are currently double cropped. Applications are planned to be made in
the spring and fall. Applications to row crops will be made prior to planting of the respective
crops,.
Prior to an application event, an application rate will be determined based on a current nutrient
analysis. Respective residual solids samples will be collected prior to the haul period and
composited for analysis. This composite sample will be delivered to a qualified laboratory
familiar with residual solids analysis and analyzed for ammonia nitrogen, nitrate/nitrite nitrogen,
percent total solids, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium,
sodium, copper, zinc, cadmium, chromium, nickel, lead, aluminum, arsenic, mercury, selenium,
and pH. Plant available nitrogen (PAN) will then be calculated from this residual solids analysis.
This information will be used to calculate the loading rate for the field and crop.

SPILL CONTROL PLAN
PILGRIM'S PRIDE CORPORATION
MARSHVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA.
In the case of a spill, which occurs in or adjacent to the application area, the foliong action
should be takenimmediately:
Halt the source of the spill: Ruptured truck tank, or damaged transport unit,
Mobilization: Move the on -site spill control trailer to a capture position downgradient
from the source of the spill,
Contain spill to inhibit migration to surface waters: Use straw bales, brooms, and
absorbent pads to form a barrier. Straw bales can be obtained from several sources for
this purpose. Soil near the site can be used to forma a barrier for containment or a pit
for collection. Spill containment points should be selected based on:
a. Their ability to contain sediments and/or offer filtration;
b. Visual impacts and potential for downstream impacts;
c.. Accessibility by vacuum trucks or loading equipment; and
d. Application field boundaries and property lines.
Clean up: Use residual solids application equipment to recover as much of the
material as possible. After the application equipment has recovered as much material.
as possible, it will be land applied as per operation plan. A temporary sump pit may
be dug for the containment area and spilled material washed into it to enhance
recovery. If spilled material contacted surface water, dissolved oxygen (DO) should
be monitored during cleanup activities. Extended periods with less than 5 mg/L DO
may cause anoxic conditions for the aquatic life in the stream.
Final Cleanup: Any unrecoverable material will be removed from the spill site and
incorporated into an adjacent tillable area or applied in accordance with operational
plan. All straw bales, brooms, and absorbent pads should be removed from the spill
site and disposed of properly..
Notification: As soon as possible after a spill occurs notify:
a. Pilgrim's Pride Corporation at [phone]
b. Landowner
c. Department of Environment and Natural Resources — Mooresville Regional offic
[phone]
Management of cleanup efforts: The field superintendent sha

take immediate
orn the treatment
Reporting: Within 24 hours of a spill, the field superintendent shall present awritten
report detailing the cause of the spill and all actions taken in response to the spill.

RECORDS
Records pertinent to the successful management of the land application program are maintained
for the benefit of the landowner, DWQ, and Pilgrim's Pride Corp. Each year an annual summary
of the activities of the program is prepared and delivered to the appropriate agencies and
participants on or before the i ofMarch, The annual summary includes:
A) Source of residual solids
B) Date of residual solids application
C) Location of residual solids application (field number)
D) Method of application
E) Weather conditions
F) Soil conditions
G) Type of crop or crop to be grown on field
H) Volume of residual solids applied in gallons/acre and dry tons/acre
1) Annual and cumulative totals of dry tons/acre of residual solids, annual and
cumulative pounds/acre of each heavy metal (which shall include, but not limited
to lead nickel, cadmium, copper, zinc), annual pounds/acre of plant available
nitrogen (PAN), and annual pounds/acre of phosphorus applied to each field,
2 A representative annual soil analysis which includes the following parameters: standard
soil fertility test, % base saturation, phosphorus, potassium, lead', zinc', magnesium, pH,
manganese, cation exchange capacity, sodium, nickel', cadmium', copper', and calcium.
3. A quarterly residual solids analysis which includes the following parameters: % total
solids, chlorides, phosphorus, lead, copper, cadmium, sodium, total nitrogen, nitrate
nitrogen, nitrite nitrogen, aluminum, magnesium, sulfate, potassium zinc, nickel,
chromium, calcium, ammonia nitrogen, pH.
4. An annual Toxicity Characteristics Leaching Procedure (TCLP) analysis of residual
solids
'Soil analysis of these parameters shall he conducted once prior 10 permit renewal on each site that has received residuals. during the
permit cycle.

Noncompliance Notification:
The Permittee shall report by telephone to the 'Mooresville Regional Office, telephone number (704)
663-1699, 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 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 land application program resulting in a release of material to receiving waters.
c„ Any time that self -monitoring information indicates that the facility has gone out of compliance
with the conditions and limitations of this permit or the parameters on which the system was
designed.
cl. 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 pipingsystem transporting residuals to the application

Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in Ietterform within five
days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report must outline the actions taken, or
proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem does not recur.
IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
No residuals shall be landeapplied to the sites when the vertical separation between the waste and the
water table is less than 'three feet. Verification of the water table elevation by soil borings must be
conducted on all sites to receive residuals within 24 hours prior to the land application event. After
verification of the water table is concluded, the soil borings must be filled in with the excavated soil to
decrease the chance of residuals contaminating the surficial aquifer.
The COMPLLANCE BOteiNDARY for the, land application site is specified by regulations in 15A
NCAC 2L, Groundwater Classifications and Standards. The Compliance Boundary for land
application sites initiated after December 31, 1983 is established at either (1) 250 feet from the land
application site, or (2) 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is closest to the land application
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 General.
Statute 143-215.6A(a)(1).
In accordance with 15A NCAC 2L, a REVIEW BOUNDARY is established around the land
application site midway between the Compliance Boundary and the perimeter of the land application
site. Any exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at the. Review Boundary shall require
remediation action on the part of the Permittee.
3. Any additional groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be
provided.
7

V. INSPECTIONS
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 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 he made available to the Division or other permitting
authority, upon requ.est.
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 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 ternis and conditions of this permit; and may obtain
samples of groundwater, surface water, or leachate.

Land Application of Residual Solids
Permit Renewal (WQ0006860)
Dear Ms. Thornburg,
Bio-Nomic Services, Inc. is under contract with Pilgrims Pride Corporation (formerly
Wampler Foods, Inc.) to manage their land application of residual solids program. Bio-
Nomic Services, Inc. wishes to submit this renewal application on behalf of Pilgrims
Pride Corporation.
Operating procedures will involve the land application of Pilgrims Pride residual solids
onto the permitted fields. Annual residual volume will remain at 1,300 dry tons per year
with a total of 645.3 acres, There are no new fields t.o be permitted. Please note the
nutrient and metal contents of the biosolids were from 1998. No application events have
occurred since that time. There are no recent analyses available, Before the next
application event, a sample will be analyzed and a copy will be submitted to NCDENR.

IV1..,ANAGEMENT PI,AN
The residual solids management program proposes that residual solids from the Wampler Foods.
Inc. Wastesvater treatment facilities (Perrnit No, WQ000(860) be applied to the proposed fields as
an agricultural resource at agronomic rates. The residual solids will be applied to row erop,s and hay
or pasture land at agronomic rates for total or partial replacement or conventional nitroge.fi and
phosphorus (N and P) fertilizers. The actual amount of residtial solids applied will be dependent
upon the nutrient requirement of the specific crop and the nutrient content or the residual solids,
Residual solids will be applied at agronomic rates, which. are limited by nitrogen loading rates, In
this manner, grotuadwater monitoring should not be required. Soil pH will he adjusted to (LO prior
to residual solids application,
Residualssolids application scheduling will be dependent upon residual solids production, storage at
the respective treatment plant and the crop management program, All application sites (pmposed
or permitted) are currently double cropped, Applications are planned to be made in the spring and
fall. Applications to row crops will be made prior M planting 0 the respective crops,
Prior to an application event, an application rate will be determined based on a current nutrient
analysis% Representative residual solids samples \vitt Ite collected prior to the haul period arid
composited for analysis. This composite sant.* will then be delivered to a qualified laboratory
familiar with residual solids analysis and analyzed for ammonia nitrogen, nitrate/nitrite nitrogen,
percent total solids, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sodium,
copper, zinc, cacti-I-num, chromium, nickel, lead, alumnuan, arsenic., mercury, selenium, and pH
Plant available nitrogen (PAN) will then be calculated from this residual solids analysis, This
information will be used to calculate the loading rate for the field and crop.

Once the appropriate application rate, has been calculated, the residual solids will be removed from
the respective trcatntent facility and transported to the site in trucks designed for hauling residual
liquids The trucks will then travel major traffic routes to the fields Nyhenever possible. Once at the
field, the trucks will proceed to a designated staging area. The residual liquids will then be removed
from the trucks using liquid residual equipment. Liquid residuals \yill be land -applied With as tractor
and pu11 behind liquid tank. The equipment will be calibrated regularly to insure that even and
consistent application rates are delivered. The residual liquids removal, hauling and land application
will be conducted by Bio-Nornic SerViCCS, Incorporated.
All residual liquids will he removed from the staging area by the end of the working day, unless
equipment breakdown or weather prohibits the residual liquid application, At the start of each day,
all fields will he inspected by the field superintendent. Equipment W.. 111 only enter a field when
conditions are appropriate ['or the application. Residual liquids will only be applied When the field
is capable of supporting equipment without extensive rutting and hydraulic overloading, When
field conditions are not appropriate for an application, such as during wet periods, the residual solids
will remain at the wastewater treatment plant until field conditions are suitable for land application,
Prior to the residual solids operations, the field superintendent and appropriate source personnel will
inspect the site. During the field inspection, the field superintendent will note the standard North
Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources - Division of \\Tater Quality (DWQ)
buffer zones including homes, drainage ditches, roads, wells, surface water, and property boundaries
(listed in Table 1). On the basis of these standard DWQ buffers for land treatment programs,
buffers will be established in the field, These buffers will be identified in the field by the placement
of pin flags.

SPILL CONTROL PLAN
WAMPLER FOODS, INC.
iNTARSHVILLE., NORTH CAROLINA
In the case ola pi 11. whidioccurs in oi jacent to the application area..the ftI1oving action should
be taken immediately:
Halt the source of the spill: Ruptured truck tank, or damaged transport unit.
Mobilization: Move the on -site spill control trailer to a capture position downgradient from the
source of the spill.
3. Contain spill to inhibit migration to surface waters: Use straw bales, bootns, and absorbent
pads to Corm a barrier. Straw bales Carl be obtained from several sources for this purpose,. Soil
near the site can he used to form a hairier for containment or a pit for collection, Spill
containment points should be selected based on:
a. Their ability to contain sediments andlor offer filtration;
b. Visual impacts and potential for downstream impacts;
e. Accessibility by vacuum trucks or loading equipment; and
d.„\pplication field boundaries and property lines.
4. Clean up: Use residual solids application equipment to recover as much of the material as
possible. After the application equipment has recovered as much material as possible, it will be
land applied as per operation plan. A temporary sump pit may be dug not the containment area
and spilled material washed into it to enhance recovery. If spilled material contacted surface
water, dissolved oxygen (DO) should be monitored during cleanup activities. Extended periods
N:vith less than 5ing/F DO may cause anoxic conditions for aquatic lite in the stream..
5, Final cleanup: Any unrecoverable material wilL be removed from the spill site and
incorporated into an adjacent tillable area or applied in accordance with operation plan„All
straw bales, booms, and absorbent pads should be removed frona the spill site and disposed of
properly.
6. Notification: As soon as possible after a spill occurs notify:
a. Wampler Foods, Inc at [phone] Mr. John Gangwer
b. Landowner
c, Department of Environment and Natural Resources - Mooresville Regional office at (704)
663-1.699
7. Management of cleanup efforts: The field superintendent shall take immediate charge of the
cleanup activities. Additional labor will be requested from the treatment plant as needed,
8. Reporting: Within 24 hours of a spill the field superintendent shall present a written report
detailing the cause of the spill and all action taken in response to the spill.

Inspection .Summary: (additional comments ,nav be included on attached pages)
Pilgrims Pride uses permit WQ0006860 for land application of sludge generated by the pre-
treatm.ent plant that serves the chicken processing facility. The sludge generated by this facility is a
non-503 sludge. The pre-treatment plant consists of primary and secondary screening, p11
adjustment flocculation, DAT., and 2 lagoons that are the activated lagoon system. The new
treatment system was installed in the existing lagoons in 2006. Significant improvement of the
lagoons is evident from before and after photos on file in MRO. Information regarding the new pre-
treatment system is also on file in the Mooresville office. The lagoons have a combined total
volume of 10 million gallons. The lagoons are monitored for sludge depth about once a month,
Records indicate that the sludge depth averages about 1.2 inches. This facility has not land applied
since 1998.

Case Study - Poultry Processing Plant
Background This facility is a 23 year old poultry "kill plant", processing over 25 million birds per year and
operating 5 days per week. The waste treatment system consisted of acidification for dissolved air floatation to
separate solids and pH neutralization of waste water prior to feeding into a two stage lagoon system for
stabilization, then discharge to the city waste water plant. Lagoon 1 (L1) was partially mixed with surface aerators
and Lagoon 2 (L2) used as a settling pond. The plant waste water averaged 408mgli BOO and 76mg/I TKN with
0.5 million gallons per day of flow and an estimated lagoon retention of 14 days.
Challenges Although meeting discharge limits, the plant was surcharged by the city for BOD, TSS, and
Ammonia in excess of typical municipal waste water and the costs were increasing. Both lagoons had problems
with short circuiting of flow, which greatly reduced treatment retention and efficiency. L2 was releasing obnoxious
odors and had extensive surface algae and grass growth. The settling pond (L2) was 36% full of sludge and
required dredging of solids in the near future. A large amount of money had been set aside for the dredging and
solids disposal process. Scheduling was difficult because land application of solids was regulated to a 2 week per
year window, Also, plant operations could be negatively impacted during the dredging process.
Treatment Obiectives Microganics. LLC was contracted to develop an ACM AI EU LAGOON SYS TEM
involving in situ sludge digestion that would result in a minimum 10% reduction in L2 over a 6 month period. This
sludge reduction would allow for postponement of the scheduled dredging operation. Value added benefits could
include BOD, TSS, Ammonia, and odor reductions.
Treatment Strategy A thorough engineering evaluation onducted, which resulted in the toUowing
strategy:
0 Install Echo -Boom TM curtains to channel flow, minimizing short circuiting and maximizing retention,
l.;-1 Strategically place Blue FrognAtEcho-Boom CSTR (constantly stirred tank reactor) structures to provide
concentrated aeration for beneficial aerobic bacteria, incubate beneficial anaerobic bacteria, create
mixing zone to make nutrients more bio-available, and transfer produced sludge to sludge/water interface
for digestion.
IA Place Bio-BagsTM at pre -determined locations to provide concentrated sludge digestion above and below
the sludge/water interface,
tT1 Dose Bio-Regen TM Food at recommended rate, which provides Carboxx Tk4 to accelerate beneficial
bacterial activity and buffer waste water toxins, and augments beneficial microbes to out -compete
indigenous odor producing bacteria and aids in digestion,
Results During the 6 month evaluation period, L2 sludge was reduced 31 .7% (Exhibit 1). Due to plant
operational changes, influent BOD increased 25%; however effluent BOD and TSS were reduced (Exhibit 2).
Algae, grass, and floating solids were significantly decreased exposing waste water surface to the berm edge
(Exhibit 3). Additionally, odor emissions were virtualty eliminated,
Conclusion Through careful evaluation and strategic engineering, the comprehensive ACTIVATE° LAGOON
SYSTEM strategy far exceeded results requested by the customer. Over the 6 month allotted time period, sludge
was reduced more than 3 times the required 10%. Although influent BOD increased, effluent BOD and TSS were
reduced. The overall health of the lagoon was improved and odors diminished. Based on the observed and
documented positive treatment results, Microganics has now been contracted to implement the ACII V A I ED
E.' GOON SYSTEM strategy in Li.
Note: Continued monitoring of sludge levels revealed a 41% total decrease after 56 weeks of AC11 VA rtip
t A Z_TX)'N S YS rtM operation. Monitoring of the system and treatment results are ongoing

Bio-Regen
Bio-Regen is a naturally preserved bacilli (in a
Carboxx matrix) which "wakes up" when added
to a waste stream
Initial exponential growth ('3 hours) feeds on
indigenous bacteria, including malodor bacteria
Reduces indigenous bacterial population
10ppm is optimum concentration

Aqua-SineO2
The Aqua -Sinew is an efficient aerator (8Ib/hp*hr) fed
into an Aqua -Sine
It produces very small bubbles by impinging gas/liquid
streams at one another @ v ©a >7ft/sec. The small
suspended are virtuallysus ended in the water column.
The Aqua -Sine distributes these microbubbles
horizontally up to 250'
The nitrogen -gas -rich bubbles are returned to the Aqua -
Sine inlet, reducing the specific gravity of the entire
water column
Suspended solids sink rapidly in low density water,
clarifying the surface and allowing photosynthetic, non
filamentous algae to add oxygen to the water
A secondary sludge blanket appears at the gas/no-gas interface
where it is simultaneously digested aerobically (top) and
anaerobically (bottom)

Aqua-Sine/CSTR
The CSTR produces an aerobic surface flow.
The aerobic flow induces a countercurrent
anaerobic flow
Together there is a surface aerobic zone and a
sub -surface anaerobic zone
— The anaerobic count triples; the aerobic count rises to
the available oxygen
Flow into & out of the CSTR is @ the sludge

Micro -Bags
Micro -Bags are "libraries" of microbes held in the
pores of activated carbon
— The pores of the activated carbon protect "seed stock"
microbes from predators
Seed stock emerges from pores as food is
available, leaving the "nest"
Vibrant populations ("inventory") of missing -
microbes grow up under the thermocline
When the pond turns over, the inventory is
distributed throughout the water column
— The old sludge is mixed with new sludge, changing
the combined sludge characteristics

Micro -Bags
Micro -Bag utility is unobvious until after:
— A grow out period to increase sub-thermocline
inventory
— A pond "turnover" to mix lower lagoon Micro -
Bag treated water with upper lagoon
untreated water
Thereafter, the now -diverse population
grows throughout the lagoon
— BOD and TSS decline

The study facilities included a paper facility where Hydrogen Sulfide was generated ui the waste treatment
facility", causing evacuation or the hydro-puiping area when the 112S level roe above 2pprn, and a hog trove
out facility.
PAPER MILL STUDY:
The initial method of treatment for 1 [2S at .this Paper „Mill was with generated Chlorine Dio.xide.. This
method was successful when the chlorine dioxide was added directly to the sludge in the waste water plant.
However, when the ,gerierator experienced mechanical .failurc, the concentration of lf,S in the plant air
would rapidly become hig,h enough to require evacuation of personnel.
While this chlorine dioxide was effective, it had some obvious short comings. T he chlorine dioxide
generator itself was expensive and required excessive maintenance to sustain its operation. Also, the
pi od.u.ction and addition of acid and oxidizers to the waste stream presented sonic safety, and compliance
ISStleti,
In 2001, a demonstration with a Ilumate based organic product as an alternative to the use of chlorine
dioxide, '1" he criteria required that the product \vas to maintain the concentration of H2S below [ppm,
eliminate the requirement for a generated chlorine dioxide. A highly reactive hunk rcrd material met the
criteria. Environmentally, Hurnate 'based materials have recognized as environmentally safe, sale to handle,
sate to transport and safe to dispose of, and the absorption capabilities of the Humate molecule appeared to
lend itself to the rapid absorption of Hydroge» Sul Ide
Therefore in an effort to improve the performance of the odor control program, at refined Huniate based
material and a microbe package developed. specifically for paper mill applications, was introduced to the
waste stream prior to the addition of any waste treatment coagulation aids. Therefore, the starting point for
this study was at the lowered 115 concentration due to the efficacy or the previous product..
Method of Introduction:
To show the relationship between the .concentration of FES and the feed rate of the Humate 'based material,
four variablrs. were tracked for the seven week period„ These variables were as follows:
I. Influent water in Gallons: The amount of water entering the system was tracked daily, -[his
number did not fluctuate significantly therefore, it was possible to use this as a constant 012.8
trillion gallons per day:
2. Temperature: A temperature reading in Celsius was ta.ken daily and recorded.
3. PH: .A p11 reading was taken daily from the clarifier using a membrane style pH probe,
4, Hydrogen Sulfide: Hydrogen Sulfide readings were .taken daily using an .112S sniffer. This device
measures the H2S gas in the air at parts per million range (ppm.).
5, Feed Rate: Based on percentage of total pump Volume,
Data:
Table One represents the data for the period of day 14 through day 40 of the 84 day- study. This time period
represents the change in feed rate:
• .Effluent from plant 2,8 million gallons per day
• Data for the first 14 days was consistent with the Hydrogen Sulfide Control using Chlorine
Dioxide
Department of Transportation 49 CFR 172,101
NlOSH Pocket Guide
US Department of Labor OSHA 29 CFR I910„.1.000

• Data for the last 44 days wa.s consistent with the levels of Hydrogen Sulfide at day 40
• 1-12S zoo] feed rate data is represented in Graph Onc.
RCSUIttil Conclusions
During the first -16 days orthe demonstration, the feed rate Was kept same. After the initial 10 days, the
feed rate wfis cut in half for the next 5 day period, This was done to demonstrate that the Humate based
product could pertOrm as well at half the feed rate. 'Therefore. this reduction shows a cost savings directly
to the paper mill.
In addition, around the 26'h day, the concentration of 112S began to decrease from the maintenance level of
0.7 ppm to a new low level of 0.1 ppm. This low level of 0,0 - 0.1 ppm of I:12S has remained steady at half
the initial feed rate.
The reduction in .1-12S iround day 26 deinonstrates the recommended product application ola 0-4 day
inoculation period. It is believed that it takes the Microbe package contained in the product that is specific
:for the cellulose environment of the iper industry approximately this amount of time to reach its optimum
environment in the waste system.
The Humate based product was able to reduce the 112S concentration from 0.7 ppm to 0.0ppm - 0,1 ppm,
and due so with half the product,. The Flumate based product, with a microbe adjunct, was also able to
reduce the costs by 75% 'fom the costof using Chlorine Dioxide. while eliminating the use of fuming
hydrochloriicid, sodium Itypt)chlorite and sodium chlorite which were used to generate the Chlorine
Dioxide
The environment in the waste treanue.nt .facility changed from one where corrosive Hydrogen Sulfide,
hydrochloric acid fumes and chlorine gas fumes were prevalent to one where there was no noticeable odor
or gassing off of em-rosive materials, as the fuming acid and oxidizer had been eliminated.
ANIMAL GROW OUT FACILITY
Objectives:
The purpose of this study was to provide a wastewater lagoon treatment solution WhiCh Minimizes the
potential for odor -causing compounds to become airborne. The study outlines a treatment program using a
Ilumate material augmented with a beneficial biological microbe package, The study looked at the
reduction odor causing compounds created by non -beneficial microbes, as well as to determine the ability
to reduce pump out sludge in a hog lagoon.
Background Data:
Over 108 chemical compounds have been identified in the air within swine confinement buildings (Mackie
et al, I998)-. Many of the odorous compounds are 1 result of anaerobic microbial decomposition of
manure and isqAsted feed„ The two most often measured are Ammonia (NH3) and Hydrogen Sulfide (1-12St.
because they are detectible by the human nose and easily quantitiable..
2 Mackie "Odor Carrying Character st es of Dust From Swine Facilities, 1998 ASA h, ,Annual International
Meeting

Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), which is produced by anaerobic microorganisms that convert sulfiite in .manures to
sulfide, is considered. the characteristic odor of livestock urine, It is a highly toxic and malodorous gas that
can reach levels that are threatening to livestock and humans. One time exposure to. 2000ppni has proven
fatal to humans. In addition, animals exposed to low doses may become more susceptible to pneumonia
and respiratory diseases,
To determine a baseline, data wits collected over a two day period prior to the inoculation of the lagoon
with the Humate based material.. Air samples were taken every hour at Intl] tittle. locations in and around the
barn to determine the optimal locations to take samples tar the duration of the study,
Dosing Program
The dosing schedule is calculated based on the average monthly lagoon influent of 200,000 gIn 11 this
.facility, The following calculations are used to arrive at the appropriate ratio °film-nate to Waste:
I gallon --- 3800m1„.

1 'Mix Tank - 65 gallon
The lagoon feed system consists of a 65 gallon mix tank - that is made up once a week with the 5 gallons of
Humate/Microbe product and 45 gallons of water, This batch is then pumped continuously into two
separate lines. Five times a day, the valves are opened for I minute, using water pressure to distribute
product into the lagoon.
Scope:
Data was collected weekly over a three month period. with Humate/Microbe Product applied solely to the
waste lagoon. Efficacy of the trial was determined by reduction in 'FES and NI-1 l verses the levels read at
the control location tan untreated swine growing facility). This will take the uncontrolled variable of
ambient temperature out. of the equation.
Reduction of II- S and NH) in correlation with HurnatetMkrobe product use
As seen in graph 3, between weeks eight and nine, the levels of ammonia increased after s steady
decline over the previous weeks. Investigation found that the chemical feed pump had lost prime
and only half the recommended dosage of HumatelMicrobe product had been added to the system.
This accounted for a breakthrough in anunonia., However. once the normal feed rate of 5 gallons
per week was re-established, ammonia levels dropped back into range, 'This point is significant in.
that it shows the controlof the ammonia level is in direct. correlation to the use of Humate based
product.
Even more interesting is the correlation to graph 4 ‘vhere you do not see any increa.se in the levels
of IT,S„ The mechanism of combining with the Humate and the FES appears to be a stable reaction
that binds the,H2S. preventing it from being released back into the lagoon, even with decreased
microbial activity More important. to the issue of health andcorrosion, the material was able to

combine with incoming Nvaste material and prevent the release of EldS at a feed rate dna was
consideralfly lower than the teed rate established for the study.
Conclusion:
At the ten week mark of the trial the addition of the HumatelMicrobe product had shown a significant
reduction in ,Aninumia and lFs drogen Sullitie, the odor causing compounds measured. The reduction
of these compounds in the lagoon environment rind, as C repercussions in the general health of the hog

Objective:
The purpose of this project was to evaluate. the feasibility of applying 'Bio-Regen Municipal
(BRM) a blend of pharmaceutical grade Hurnic Acid ()8.5',1/0 a blend of highly specific
stabilized bacteria., to remove high concentrations of ammonia from a package wastewater
treatment plant operating at a 270-site recreational campground. BRM was selected from. a
series of waste -specific Bio-Regen products (BRM-Animal, Paper, Food, Textile, etc.) that had
shown similar reduction of various contaminants, Numerous discharge violations over several
years of operation along with more stringent limits and monitoring requirements made it.
imperative that a solution be found. Without an "operational solution" the campground would
likely have to upgrade the treatment plant at considerable expense,
Background:
During seasonal operation (May -November) the treatment plant receives high strength
wastewater from recreational trailer black water tanks. This water is typically anaerobic and/or
has been aseptically stabilized by the addition of a bacteriostatic tank additive, These additives.
often contain formaldehyde or glutaraideh.yde based biocides to control the anaerobic activity in
the waste tank until it can be discharged,
Flows to the treatment plant during the week days (WY) 'were on the average of 500-600 gpd
with Saturday and Sunday contributing 2500-3000 gpd. Flows in excess of 4000 gpd have
occurred but are not common.
The treatment plant configuration consists of diffused aeration, surface skimmers, sludge recycle,
a 4000 gal equalizations tank (EQ), 10,000 gal aeration, 1700 gal clarifier, 210 gal chlorine
contact chamber and a 1500 gal waste sludge holding tank and is operated as an extended
aeration facility„ Influent carbonaceous 5-day biological oxygen demand C130D5 and Ammonia
(as N) were typically 230-260 ingll and 230-250 mg/1 respectively. Plant operations were
adjusted by periodic measurement of 02 (maintained at 1,5 mgli and above) and Imhoff cone
settling 'tests for sludge volume, wasting requirements and effluent quality. Seasonal NPDES

Bio-Regen Dosing Program
Based on the liquid hoiding volume of the EQ tank (4000 gal) a one-time inoculation dose .was
"shot fed" to the EQ tank at a concentration of 100 ppm-as product. The 100 ppm shot feed level
was determined from other applications where it was shown to activate the stabilized bacteria
and initiate a rapid reduction of nutrients, and BOD. A diaphragm chemical .feed pump vas then
used to flow -proportionately feed a. concentration of 40 ppm .for the remainder of .the
campground season. Because of the late start and subsequent shorter duration of the
campground season., it was not possible to tine tune or trim the Bio-Regen feed rate below 40
ppm.
Results and Discussion
Table 2 and Figure 1 present plant influent. and effluent 'ammonia levels for the period of May -
Oct. Prior to the addition of BRM, influent ammonia levels ranged from 60 mg/1 ---- 256 mg/1
while pre-BRM effluent ammonia levels ranged front a low of 3.2 iirig,11 to a high of 55
Prior to the addition of BRM, the lower effluent levels of ammonia (3.2 mg/1) were attributed to
little or TIO activity/visitation at the campground. This correlates to the lower influent ammonia
concentrations shown in late May. Further into the summer months, the activity of the park
increased as did the effluent ammonia levels (see dates of 6-3 thru 6-29). BRM was introduced
on July 6. 2004 and within 7-days the plant effluent ammonia levels plummeted to a high of 3
mg/I, a low of 0.5 mg/1., with a resultant average of 1.29 mg/1 over a 106-day evaluation period.
Influent ammonia levels remained at or above 200 mg/1 during the same evaluation period.
Summary
At the end of the 15 week performance evaluation period, data shows that addition. of Bio-Regen
Municipal ‘vill significantly reduce high NH3-N levels in extended aeration treatment plants.
On -going application in other facilities (sequencing batch reactors - SBR, conventional activated
sludge, etc.) has also shown a considerable reduction of ammonia. Identifiable benefits of using
BR„M were:
Rapid Regulatory Compliance
Low application cost
Low cost of feed equipment requirement and/or design

Conclusions:
Based on the results from testing conducted by Bucknell 1. ni ersif>, Carboxx-
HMA treatment has been denionstrated effective in significantly reducing odor
constituent release front both Bio-Solid cake and Bio-Solid ('onipost mix, At the
recommended feed rate and application protocols. Carboxx-HMA is also cost
effective and user friendly,
