Ellen,
I talked to Stan yesterday but did not get a chance to call you. I told him we needed to do the sludge readings
on a quarterly basis. We will do that unless we see a significant change in the levels. He also said he was going to do the
measurements this week,
Stan,
The fax number below is the number you can use to send the results to Ellen. Thanks John

Hey John,
Please remind Marshville to get me the sludge readings asap. Also, please send a schedule of how often they will take
these readings (monthly? Bi-monthly?). Fax # [phone] or email them to this email address, Thanks!
Ellen
Hey John,
it was good to talk to you today. I hope that the rest of your vacation was dry and FUN!
Anyway, this is just a reminder email of our phone conversation regarding sludge level readings and how often they
need to be taken. This is not a permit requirement but more of a best management practice. We also discussed the
extension (Xs2) of the permit taking it to September 30, 2014, another year bonus. Everything looked good at the
lagoons but, I was concerned that the sludge readings could not be located (Stan was out of the office at the time) and
that I was told that sludge had not been measured in the lagoons all year. Also, I will make a note in the files that the
land application sites associated with this permit may or may not be available if/when Pilgrim's Pride needs them since it
has been over 10 years since you have land applied. You discussed alternative disposal options (dewatering and land -
filling) and that is fine, no permit needed for that, I do have some information regarding best management practices for
that too. I look forward to talking with you next week,
Best Regards,
Ellen

Pilgrims Pride uses permit WQ0006860 for land application of sludge generated by the pre-treatment plant
that serves the chicken processing .facility. The sludge generated by this facility is permitted as a non-503
sludge. Information regarding the pre-treatment system is on tile in the Mooresville office. The treatment
lagoons have a combined total volume of 10 million gallons. The lagoons are visually inspected daily and are
monitored for sludge depth once a month, Records indicate that the sludge depth is currently 1.2-18 inches
deep across the lagoon bottom. This facility has not land applied since 1998. -714-,. L.

maintain written records of each monitoring event that includes details of the sites covered and
rate of soil amendment application..
11. The Perrnittee shall be responsible for verifying the volume of residuals that may be land
applied to the site such that the plant available nitrogen (PAN) loading rate for the specified
crop (i.e., see Condition IL 13) shall not be exceeded by all of the sources of PAN applied.
Should the maximum PAN loading rate be rnet or exceeded, then no additional residuals shall
be land applied to the site
12. A suitable vegetative cover shall be maintained .on land application sites onto which residuals

residuals orr any land application site that is to be established, in a crop other than those listed
above. A maximum PAN loading rate for the desired crop shall be approved with the permit
modification.
If the land application sites are to be overseeded bermuda grass in the summer and rye
grass in the winter with BOTH crops to receive residuals), then the second crop shall receive
an application of PAN at a rate of no greater than 50 pounds per acre per year. This practice
shall be allowed as long as the second crop is to be harvested. If the second crop is to be.
planted for erosion control only and is to be tilled into the soil, then no residuals shall be land
applied to .these sites because the PAN will essentially be retained tothe soil.
Residuals shall not be land applied at rates greater than agronomic rates, unless authorized. by.

17. Food crops with harvested parts below the surface of the land (1..e.., root crops such as potatoes,
carrots, radishes, etc,) shall not be harvested for 70 .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 he harvested for 38
months after any residuals land application event when the residuals remain or. 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
residualsfrom the land application sites onto adjacent properties or into any surface waters.
Disking, seeding and other tillage operations on the land application sites shall be performed
following the land contours to aid in controlling channeling of storm. water.
21.. Adequate procedures shall be provided to prevent surface runoff from carrying any land
applied or stored residuals into any surface waters.
22. Surface -applied residuals shall be plowed or disced within 24 hours after land application on
land application sites with no cover crop established.
23. For land application sites that are prone to flooding or within the 100-year flood elevation,.

event, Such controls may includethe posting of signs indicating the activities being
conducted at each site.

III. MONITORING A., ..„,,,PORTING .ENTS
1. Any monitoring (i.e., including groundwater, surface water, residuals, soil, or plant tissue
analyses) deemed necessary by the Division to ensure protection of the environment shall be
established, and an acceptable sampling and reporting schedule shall be followed.
2. Residuals to be land applied shall be analyzed to demonstrate that they are non -hazardous
under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). A corrostivity, ignitabi.14, and
reactivity analysis as well as a 'Toxicity Charactestics Leaching Procedure (TCLP) analysis
shall he conducted on residuals to be land applied. The analyses shall be performed at the
frequency specified in the most recently -certified Attachment A of this permit, and the results
shall be maintained on fileby the Permittee for a minimum of five years. If residuals
generated by a .particular residuals source -generating facility are land applied at a frequency
less than that which is specified in the most recently -certified Attachment A of this permit, the
analyses shall be required for each residuals land application event. Only residuals that are
generated by the residuals source -generating facilities that are identified as being exempt from

Dear Mr. Gangwer:
Enclosed is a report for the land application inspection conducted on June 28, 2007. This inspection evaluated the
treatment and storage of sludge for the current land application permit.
A new treatment system was installed in the existing lagoons in 2006. Significant improvement of the lagoons was
evident during the site visit. The lagoon berms and surrounding area appeared to be well maintained.
The report should be self-expla a ry; however, ifyou have any questions, please contact me at 704-235-218.6.
Sincerely,
EUen Huffina ,

Pilgrims Pride uses perrnit WQ0006860 for land application of sludge generated by the pre-
treatment 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, pH
adjustment flocculation, DAF, 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 NIRO, 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 12 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 408mglIBOD 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 Obiectiyes Microganics, LLC was contracted to develop an ACTIVAT"ED I. A NeStE-1,M
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 was conducted, which resulted in the following
strategy:
RI Install Echo -Boom r" curtains to channel flow, minimizing short circuiting and maximizing retention,
11 Strategically place Blue FrognAlEcho-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 sludgemater interface
for digestion,
E Place Bio-Bags TM at pre -determined locations to provide concentrated sludge digestion above and below
the sludge/water interface.
Dose Bio-Regen Tv Food at recommended rate, which provides Carboxx TM 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 virtually eliminated,
Conclusion Through careful evaluation and strategic engineering, the comprehensive ACTIVATED LA('
SYSIIENA 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 ACTIVAITED
LA N SYSTEM strategy in L1,
Note: Continued monitoring of sludge levels revealed a 41% total decrease after 56 weeks of ACTIVA
L&XNI SYSTEM operation, Monitoring of the system and treatment results are ongoing,

this manner, grotu dwater monitoring should not be required. Soil pH will be adjusted to 6.0 prior
to residua] 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 site (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 rrt.rttient
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, nitrates"nitrite nitrogen,
percent total solids, total K eldahl nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, mag esium, 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
infor ation 'will be used to calculate the loading rate for the Feld and crop.

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 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
‘VANI MLR FOODS, INC.
MARSH VILIF, NORTH CAROLINA
in the case of a spill, which occurs in or adjacent to the application area, the following action should
be taken immediately,
. ',fah the source of the spill: Ruptured truck tank, or damaged transport unit.
2. Mobilization: Move the orysite spH couiroirai1er to a capture position do\vngradient from the
source oldie spill.
3. 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. Tiy.,4.ability to contain sediments andlor offer filtration;
b. Visualimpacts and potential for downstream impacts;
c. Accessibility by vacuum trucks or loading equipment; and
d. Application Held boundaries and. property lines.
4. (lean 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 kvill be
kind 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 he monitored during cleanup activities, Extended periods
with less than 5trigit DO may cause iitioxic conditions for aquatic life in the stream,
Final cleanup: Any unrecoverable material \kill he 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. Wampler Foods. Inc. at [phone] Mr, John Gangwer
h. Landowner
c. Department of Environment and Natural Resources - Mooresville Regional office at (7 4)

MANAGEMENT PLAN
tting
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 following action
should be taken immediately:
ilalt 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, 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.
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 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.
6. 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 office
[phone]
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 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 Is' of March, The annual summary includes:
1. 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 grownon field
H) Volume of residual solids applied in gallons/acre and dry tons/acre
I) 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 ofphosphorus applied to each field.
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.
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 be conducted once prior to permit renewal on each site that has received residuals during the
permit cycle.
