Ph.D, Senior Agronomist/Soil Scientist with Agri -Waste Technology, Inc. (AWT) located at 502 N. Salem Street, Suite 203, Apex, North Carolina 27502 about the methodology for properly computing the plant available nitrogen when applying their wastewater to the waste application fields. See AWTr s Memorandum dated February 3, 2021 attached. The plant available nitrogen factor for CMH wastewater is 50% of the total nitrogen expressed as Total Kjehdahl Nitrogen. (TKN) based. on AWT"s evaluation of CMH treatment system. Based can this new information, CMH want to apply for as .large a permit as their current waste application system. will justify in order to not have to worry about possible fees and penalties for exceeding their current operating capacity. The current permit is limited by nitrogen loading rate based on 100% of the nitrogen being available to crops when applied.

Waste Production The Carolina Malting House produces malted barley by steeping barley seeds, germinating them and then drying down and/or roasting to the final product. The calculations herein regarding wastewater production have been obtained from 2 years of malting experience at the Carolina Malt House. The Carolina Malt House steeps 22-ton batches of barley; the calculations begin here. The canonical bulk density of "raw" barley ("raw" meaning barley straight from the field) is 48 lb/bushel, which is 38.57 lb per ft3. Prior to malting, the raw barley is cleaned using a series of screens, blowers, and density sifters to remove debris, light grain and other undesirable matter. The cleaned barley bulk density is 43.94 lb per ft3. The volume of 22 tons of cleaned barley is 1,001 ft3. Most of the wastewater generated by a malt house comes from the steeping process, during which the barley is submerged and then drained three times over the course of two days. During steeping, the barley takes up water and the individual kernels increase in size, and the bulk volume consequently increases. A typical increase in volume of 1.62 times is expected with the steeping process with moderate agitation. The final volume of the cleaned barley after steeping will be 1,622 ft3. Volume of Steeping tank and bowl is: [ (ri (14 ) 2/ 4) (10' ) + fi (7) 1 (7')/ 31 + [ (Tq (6. 5) 1/4) (3. 25' ri(3.25 )2 (3.25')/31 = 1,970 cu ft Based on measurements by Carolina Malt House, the steeping water volume is 8,400 gallons in first steep. Carolina Malt House have determined that using 8,400 gallons' water in first steep gives them a volume that they are comfortable using in the steeping process (i.e. Barley is submerged a couple feet with water the first steep). Second and third steeps use less water. It is estimated that 7,400 gallons are used in the second and third steeps, respectively. Total steep water per 22-ton batch for three steep cycles is 23,200 gallons'. Additional water is used for flushing the barley from the steeping vessel to the germination vessel and for washing down the steeping vessel after the third steep is Carolina Malt House, Inc Waste Plan completed. The total water used for this conical steeping operation includes the 23,200 gallons (3 steeps) noted above, plus an additional 3,000 gallons estimated by Carolina Malt House. That brings the total water used per 22-ton batch to 26,200 gallons. This water is not all sent to the subject wastewater system, however. Much of the water is taken up by the barley during steeping, and this water is evaporated during the germination, withering and kilning phases. Based on Carolina Malt Houses experience (moisture content before and after) 3,500 gallons will be evaporated during steeping process. Thus the total wastewater generated per steeping cycle will be approximately 26,200 gallons minus 3,500 gallons or 22,700 gallons. Even though the steeping process takes two days, the Carolina Malt House have a process bottleneck at the germination and kilning phase that will limit steeping to occurring only every seven and half days. This means the Malt House steeps barley no more often than every 7.5 days for each kiln. Two kilns will be used in phase II so anticipated water use is 22,'700 gallons' x 2 or 45,400 ,gallons every 7.5 days so the wastewater produced will average around 6,053 gallons every day. To allow more flexibility, Carolina Malt House want the permit volume based on their current wastewater irrigation system capability. Permit application will be for an average of 12,520 gallons per day. See engineering calculations, water balance and nutrient management plan justifying this capacity. 11. Waste Management Overview The waste management system will economically as possible handle all the waste production described above in a manner that does not degrade air, soil or water resources. The system will prevent discharge of pollutants to surface and ground water by recycling waste through soil and plants,. The waste management system includes the following comDonents: A. Waste Storage Pond The waste storage pond is located south of the malting facility and collects all wastewater from the steeping operation. Waste storage pond stores the following volumes of liquid waste: 1) Wastewater from steeping operation 4 Carolina Malt House, Inc. Waste Plan 2) 0.51 of residue solids 3) Rainfall minus evaporation on pond 4) 21 freeboard which includes 25 year - 24 hour direct rainfall USDA -MRCS conservation standard practice 313 "Waste Storage Facility" and other requirements from State and Federal agencies were used to design the waste pond. This pond will provide temporary storage for organic wastewater generated by agricultural processing. USDA -MRCS conservation standard practice 521A "Pond Sealing or Lining - Flexible Membrane" was used to design the synthetic Liner. The Waste storage pond is located over 100 feet from the nearest well and over 50 feet from nearest property line. The waste storage pond is located no closer than 750 feet from any residence. B. Clean Water Exclusion Clean water was excluded from the waste storage pond and irrigation area to the fullest extent possible. Diversions, culverts and guttering are used. Diversions and waterways were used to divert clean water around waste storage pond. C. Plant Available Nutrients for Waste Utilization Plan Estimate of Plant Avail -able Nitrogen to collect and spread each year will be determined. D. operation and Maintenance Plan The owner shall be responsible for operating and maintaining the system. See Operation and Maintenance Plan. E. Emergency Action Plan The emergency action plan describes emergency conditions and immediate steps to take to gain control. III. Waste Storage Pond A. Design Volumes 1. The wastewater is mostly water with low nutrient content. A storage period is planned to allow management flexibility in irrigating wastewater. Carolina Malt House, Inc Waste Plan No drainage area enters the waste pond. Only direct rainfall storage and evaporation will be considered in the design.

Based on evaluation by Agri -Waste Technology, Inc. a 50° nitrogen factor should be used for the wastewater. The plant available nitrogen (PAN) calculation is shown below. TKN in Sample PAN 26.07 ppm TKN*0.5 = 26.07 ppm *0.5 = 13.035 ppm or .109 lbs/1000 gal Application field will allow application of 512 lbs of Plant Available Nitrogen to be applied per year.. (0.109 lb/1000 gallons) and the 4,697,014 gallons`/year wastewater volume are used to estimated nutrient content to spread each year. Nitrogen Volume = 4,697,014 gal/year x 0.1.09 lb N/1000 gal. 512 lbs Michael Shepherd, Environmental Senior specialist, of NCDA & CS, completed the nutrient management plan based on the nitrogen nutrient amount, the soil fertility analysis, irrigation design and crap planned at the site. The nitrogen crop uptake value for fescue hay on Pacolet soil is 1.60 lb/acre.. Wastewater application shall be based on wastewater volume and waste analysis to prevent overloading nitrogen on the waste application fields. NOTE: The irrigation system was designed with an additional .irrigation zone that can he installed in future if application fields need to be expanded to handle nutrient loading. Permit would need to be updated to include additional application fields if needed in future. 10 Carolina Malt House, Inc. Waste Plan C. Spray Irrigation Water Balance See water balance computed by the "NC DENR Division of Water Quality Water Budget excel program (versions)"" for checking the size of the irrigation fields and waste pond needed to handle an average 12,520 gal/day wastewater production from malting house.

Irrigation system was designed for this application rate. Minimum Storage period recommended is 13.1 days in the water balance. Carolina Malt House have a waste pond with 0.94 months of storage for the 12,520 gallon/day of wastewater to ease management of irrigation system since irrigation cannot occur during inclement weather conditions or during crop maintenance periods. Storage will likely help with managing greater amounts of wastewater in future expansions.

The storage pond will have a total depth of 3-0.5' with O.S' designed for residua I storage in the bottom, 8' designed for liquid storage, and 2' freeboard and will be equipped with a synthetic liner. This plan was developed based on the assumed nitrogen concentration of 0.36 lbs N/1000 gal. At this time no coefficient of nitrogen mineralization and volatilization rate is known so the plan was designed assuming all nitrogen will be available for uptake by the crop. In order to obtain this value in the NM software, we entered a N value of 107.78 ppm with an operation type of dairy milk cow slurry. The software uses a first year nitrogen coefficient of 0.4 for dairy milk cow slurry resulting in the 0.36 lbs N /1000 gal value. After the operation is up and running and several waste samples have been collected from the storage pond, a reevaluation of the nitrogen concentration should be conducted to determine if the waste plan needs to be amended. Carolina Malt House will be working with NCDA&CS agronomist to come up with a more realistic reduction for nitrogen mineralization and volatilization rates in the future, This plan shows that nutrients will not limit the application of waste water on irrigation fields. A total of 3.2 acres will be irrigated such that nutrients are not over applied to any field. The limiting factor on the irrigation fields will be the hydraulic loading rates of the Pacolet soils. The soils evaluation report from Thompson Environmental Consulting indicated a maximum instantaneous application rate of 0.2S in/hr with a maximum irrigation duration of 0.2S hours in order for the amount of applied wastewater not to exceed O.1in/hr. Please refer to the soil evaluation report and the, irrigation design for more in-depth details an irrigation setup, events, and application fields. All of the irrigation fields are made up of Pacolet soils with a fescue hay crop. Each field in the plan corresponds to the irrigation zones detailed in the irrigation design. This fescue hay crop has a Phosphorus remove rate of 57 lbs P205/acre. With the low soil Phosphorus index and low waste nutrient Phosphorus measurement, the nutrient plan is based on Nitrogen utilization. Historically the irrigation fields were fescue pastureland for beef cattle and has not previously received any waste water. The fescue hay crop for all irrigation fields should be properly maintained and harvested to ensure adequate Nitrogen uptake is achieved.Refer to the crop notes section of this plan or consult your local agronomist for proper fescue hay care, I. The collection and storage facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times; this also includes the irrigation equipment. I A suitable vegetative cover shall be maintained on all land application sites and buffers in accordance with the Waste Utilization Plan. No waste may be applied on fields not approved by or prepared in accordance with the Waste Utilization Plan. An acceptable pH of the soil shall be maintained on all land application sites to insure an optimum yield for the crop(s) being grown. 4. The plant available nitrogen (PAN) application rates and hydraulic loading rates identified in the Waste Utilization Plan shall not be exceeded. 5. Application of wastewater on land which is used to grow crops for direct human consumption (e.g., strawberries, melons, lettuce, cabbage, etc.) shall not occur within 30 days prior to or during the planting of the crop or at any time during the growing season, or in the case of fruit bearing trees, 30 days prior to breaking dormancy. For fiber and food crops, which undergo further processing, application of wastewater shall not occur within 30 days of harvesting.

PREPARED BY: Jeff Vaughan, Ph.D. Senior Agronomist/Soil Scientist DATE: February 3, 2021 As requested, the following details methodology for properly computing plant -available nitrogen. (PAN) from land applied organic materials such as manure, biosolids, lagoon liquid, compost, etc. In general, only a portion of the total nitrogen in land applied organic materials is plant - available. This is because a portion of the total nitrogen is lost, generally to the atmosphere, via various pathways or remains bound in unavailable nitrogen forms in. the soil. The portion of total nitrogen in land applied organic materials that is plant -available can range from 40-1000/o (of the total nitrogen) and is based on the type of material, the land application method, and tillage practices after land application. We have reviewed the infornnation that you provided to us for the wastewater treatment system at the Carolina Malt House. The wastewater treatment system appears to use an anaerobic lagoon to collect, treat, and store the wastewater, The wastewater is then land applied to tall fescue as a plant nutrient source via surface irrigation. Based on the attached document from the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, this type of wastewater would be best classified as Lagoon Liquid, Anaerobic, Other ("'Waste Code ALO) with surface irrigation application. The plant -available nitrogen factor for this type of land applied organic material would then be 0.5, or 50% of the total nitrogen (page 10, Table 3) expressed as Total Kjehdahl Nitrogen (TKN). As example calculation is below for reference: TKN in sample = 30ppm PAN = TKN * 0.5 30ppm *0.5 15ppm or 0, 125lbs/1 000gal We appreciate the opportunity to assist you.

Overview of Agronomic Division The Agronomic Division Mission is to provide N,C. residents with site -specific diagnostic and advisory services to increase agricultural productivity, promote responsible land management and safeguard environmental quality. The Agronomic Division is comprised of four sections: (1) Field Services, (2) Soil Testing; (3) Nematode Assay; and (4) Plant, Waste, Solution and. Media Analysis. The Field Services Section has a staff of 13 regional agronomists to advise and educate farmers, agriculture consultants, fertilizer dealers, homeowners and other state residents regarding agronomic sampling techniques, responsible and cost-effective fertilization practices, interpretation of agronomic lab results and the implementation of agronomic recommendations. For further information, see www.ncagr..gov/agronomi/rahome.htm- Soil Testing provides soil nutrient indexes as well as weight per volume, pH., acidity, percent humic matter, soil class and soluble salt levels as described in Crop Fertilization Based on North Carolina Soil Tests. The Soil Test Report provides precise lime and fertilizer recommendations for specific crops and soil classes. For further information, see www.ncagr.gov/agronomi/sthome.htm. Nematode Assay identifies plant -parasitic nematodes and estimates population size and relative hazard to the crop. The Nematode Assay Report provides recommendations for control of plant -parasitic nematodes. For further information, see www.ncagr.gov/agronomi/nemhome.htm. Plant Tissue Analysis measures nutrient levels within crop tissue and identifies nutrient deficiencies and toxicities. The Plant Analysis Report provides recommendations for adjustment of crop fertilization programs. For further information, see www.ncagr.gov/agronomi/uyrplant.htm. Waste Analysis determines nutrient levels in farm (such as animal manure), industrial, municipal and composted waste materials. The Waste Analysis Report provides estimates of first -crop nutrient availability and recommendations for the environmentally sound use of waste material as a plant nutrient source. For further information, see www.ncagr.gov/a.gronomi/uyrwaste.htm. Solution Anatysi5 measures nutrient concentrations as well as pH, electrical conductivity (soluble salts) and total alkalinity levels of water used in agricultural production, such as irrigation water, nutrient solutions and livestock drinking water. The Solution Analysis Report provides an assessment of potential problems and recommendations for their management. For further information, see www.ncagr.gov/agronomi/uyrso9n.htm, Media Analysis measures nutrient concentrations as well as pH Lind electrical conductivity (soluble salts) of soilless media used for containerized crop production. The Media Analysis Report helps growers troubleshoot problems and. fine-tune fertilization programs.

Overview of Waste Analysis and Nutrient Management The Agronomic Division's Waste Analysis Lab analyzes liquid and solid waste samples from farm, municipal and industrial sources to assess their use in agriculture. Analyses of animal waste from liquid management systems for total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN), total phosphorus, copper and zinc are certified by the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) Division of Water Quality. The Waste Analysis Lab also analyzes compost samples. Commercial cornposters of waste products may be required to test the chemical properties of the compost in order to comply with NCDENR regulations. Compost samples are also submitted by compost users to determine how chemical properties might limit use or impact application rates in gardens or landscapes. The Waste Analysis Report provides total nutrient concentrations (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, sulfur, iron, manganese, zinc, copper, boron) as well as estimates of first -year, plant -available nutrient concentrations (nutrients available to the first crop grown in units of lb/ton or lb/1000 gal.). Additional chemical measures may also be provided on the waste report, such as levels of sodium; pH; electrical conductivity (soluble salts); carbon; carbon -to -nitrogen ratio (C:N); calcium carbonate equivalence (CCE%); agricultural time equivalent (ALE); heavy metals (lead, nickel, cadmium); chloride; and inorganic nitrogen (ammonium and nitrate nitrogen). Nutrients -available -for -first -crop values are based on estimates of mineralization rates for the specific waste type (e.g., anaerobic lagoon liquid) and source (e.g., swine) as well as application method (e.g,, irrigation). These estimated values are influenced by factors such as the specific nature of the waste material, soil physical properties (i.e., texture, soil moisture), soil chemical properties (i.e., pH, cation exchange capacity), soil and air temperature, and weather. Mineralization rates used to calculate nutrient availability arc reviewed and revised periodically using current scientific literature. Knowledge of available nutrients and other chemical properties associated with waste applied to land, in conjunction with site - specific factors, is the basis for efficient nutrient management and responsible land stewardship. Waste application rates are usually limited by levels of nitrogen, phosphorus, zinc, copper, boron, sodium or CCE% as discussed below. Waste application rate -limiting factors Nitrogen (N) Generally, the available N in the waste determines the rate of application, unless another element or chemical property is more restrictive. N can be applied at rates dctennined by the realistic yield expectation (RYE) of a specific crop by soil type. Rates using the RYE approach are available online at nutrients.soil.ncsu.edu/yield.s/. Contact the N.C. Interag-cricy NqLri.cLIt Management Committee for guidelines when a specific RYE is not available. Phosphorus (P) Rates of waste application should be based on estimated available P when the site is vulnerable to off -site P movement. The N,C. Phosphorus Loss Assessment Tool (PLAT) is used to assess the potential for P transport from fields to surface water. When animal manure or organic by-products are used in crop production, this software toot can identify whether N or P is the application -rate - determining nutrient. PLAT ratings are July 2012 NCDA&CS Wzistc and Compost Amlysis Guide interpreted as follows: lore or medium, the manure or organic by-product can be applied based on the crop's N requirement; high, application rate is limited to P removal from the site; very high no additional P should be applied. Zinc (Zn) and copper (Cu) For sites receiving animal waste, monitoring soil Zn and. Cu levels is required by Animal Waste Management Rules (l 5A NCAC 2T). Application rates should be limited when soil Zn and/or Cu levels are excessively high and/or the waste product has a high Zn and/or Cu concentration. Under these conditions, it is also advisable to monitor crop nutrient concentrations with tissue analysis. These practices will help prevent excess Zn and/or Cu accumulation in the soil. For all crops except peanuts, the NCDA&CS soil -test Zn-index (Zn-1) and. Cu-index (Cu-1) caution level is 2000 (-142 lb Zn/acre and —72 lb Cu/acre) and the critical toxic level is 3000 (-21.4 lb Zn/acre and —108 Cu lb/acre). NCDENR requires that a technical specialist be contacted to discuss options for future manure applications when Zn and/or Cu are at the caution or critical toxic level. At the caution level, growers should monitor crop growth and appearance and maintain a soil pH of at least 6.0 while searching for alternative fields better suited for application of animal manure. At the critical toxic level, all application of animal manure or organic by-products should cease and a pH of at least 6.0 should be maintained. Peanuts are much more sensitive to Zn than. other crops: the caution level is 300 (-21 lb/acre) and the critical toxic level is 500 (-35 lb/acre). Sodium (Na} Waste that contains high. sodium in relation to calcium and/or magnesium can cause problems. A high level of sodium in the soil can degrade soil structure (reduced infiltration and permeability) and/or become toxic to crops. Sodium may also damage foliage when liquid waste is applied in an overhead irrigation system to a growing crop. Regular soil testing is recommended to monitor sodium accumulation where the waste is routinely applied. Safe application rates of sodium depend on many factors, including soil texture, soil calcium and magnesium levels, rainfall, irrigation volumes and crop. Boron B Although B is an essential nutrient, the level. required by a crop and the B toxicity level of that crop are very narrow. Therefore, consider the waste B level and limit B application to no more than 1-3 lb B per acre per year. Since B is not measured in NCDA&CS soil analysis, monitor B status in crops with tissue analysis. Calcium carbonate equivalence (CCE%) and agricultural liming equivalent (ALE) CCE% represents the acid -neutralizing capacity of a material expressed as weight percentage of calcium carbonate. For waste (materials with liming potential (e,g., lime -stabilized biosolids, poultry layer litter), the application rate may be limited by a high CCE%. Waste with a high CCE% should only be applied at rates needed to increase soil pH to the desired target. Overapplication can Lead to high soil pH, which may limit micronutrient availability. When CCE% is measured, ALE is also calculated. ALE indicates the amount (tons or gallons) of waste required to equal the neutralizing value of one ton of agricultural grade limestone.

Units are parts per million. (ppm) or, more specifically, milligrams per liter (mg/L) for liquid and milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) (dry -weight basis) for solid waste samples. With the exception of liquid waste N, all measures are of total nutrients. Liquid waste N is measured as total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN). TKN does not include nitrate nitrogen. Standard analysis may include measurements of pH, electrical conductivity (EC) [a measure of soluble salts (SS)], percent solids or dry matter percent (UM%o) and carbon (C) for certain types of waste samples (particularly composted materials), according to the code specified by the client on the Waste SatW21e3 Ita;ti�t nation_forrn (AD-9). Table 2 indicates the specific tests performed automatically based on each waste code. Upon request, these measures, as well as chloride, can be provided at no additional charge for any waste sample, with the following exception: carbon can only be measured for solid waste samples. Units for EC (or SS) are 10-5 S/cin, and units for C are ppm or mg/kg (dry -mass basis) (Table 1). Dry matter percent (DM%) is determined for all solid waste samples according to Eq. [1]. When C is analyzed, the C-to-N ratio (C:N) is calculated according to Eq. [2]. [ 1 ] DM% = (dry wt. - - fresh wt.) x 100 [2] C:N = C (mg/kg) N (mg/kg) Additional analysis upon request:. Tests conducted for additional fee ($10) `Special tests' (heavy metals, inorganic nitrogen and/or calcium carbonate equivalence) can be performed upon. request (Table 1). Each test costs an additional $10 per sample. Heavy metals (HM): Analysis of HM includes cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and nickel (Ni). Units are ppm or mg/L for liquid and ppm or mg/kg (dry -weight basis) for solid samples. Inc, -game nitrogen {ITN-N): The l.l`+I-N value represents the sum of measurements of nitrate nitrogen (NO3-N) and ammonium nitrogen (NHS-N), as shown in Eq. [3]. Measurement of NO3-N includes any nitrite nitrogen (NO2-N) in the sample. When analyzed, NO3-N is added to liquid waste TKN to report total N, as shown in Eq. [4]. Organic nitrogen (OR-N) is calculated according to Eq. [5]1. All units are pprn [trig/L for liquid and mg/kg (dry -weight basis) for solid samples]. [3] IN-N = NO3-N + NHS-N [4] Total N = TKN + NO3-N (liquid) [5] OR-N = Total N —1N-N Percent calcium carbonate equivalence (CCE%)and agricultural time equivalent ALE CCE% is a measure of the acid - neutralizing capacity of a waste material and is expressed as a percentage of pure calcium carbonate (on a dry -weight basis for solid waste samples). The ALE is calculated according to Eqs. [6] and Eq. [7] for solid and liquid waste samples, respectively. The assumption is made that one gallon of liquid waste weighs 8.34 pounds. July 2013 NCI)A &CS Wa. (e anal Compost Analysis Guido The ALE indicates the quantity of waste material that will provide a liming effect equivalent to one ton of agricultural grade limestone (90�% CaCO3). ALE is reported in units of tons for solid waste samples and 1000 gallons for liquid waste samples. [6] ALE (tons) = 1800 - [(DM% - 100) x (CCE% = 100) x 2000] [7] ALE (1000 gallons) = 1800 = [(CC.E% - 100) x 8340] Nutrients available for first crop Estimates of nutrients available for the first crop (or first -year, plant -available nutrients) are provided on the Waste Analysis Report. The Waste Analysis Lab's calculations are based on mineralization rate estimates for specific waste sources (Table 22) and anticipated nutrient loss associated with the proposed waste application method. The four application methods are • broadcast (BR) - waste broadcast on soil surface and left uncovered for one week or longer; • injection (IN) — waste injected directly into the soil and covered immediately; • irrigation (IR) waste applied through the irrigation system and left uncovered for one week or longer; and. • soil incorporation (SI) waste broadcast on soil surface and plowed or disked into soil within two days. The first -year -nutrient -availability coefficients for each waste source and application method are included in _Table 3. All values for first - year, plant -available nutrients are calculated according to Eqs. [8] and [9] for solid and. liquid wastes, respectively, where NAC = nutrient availability coefficient (listed in Table 3), NM = nutrient multiplier and DM%o dry matter percent. The NM is only relevant for P and K to allow expression of P as phosphate (P205) and K as potash (K20). The NM for P is 2.29 and the NM for K is 1.20. For all other nutrients and elements, the NM is 1.

When clients request measurement of IN-N, available nitrogen (N) is deterinined as the sum of available organic nitrogen (OR-N) and available IN-N, as shown in Eq. [10]. [10] Available N = available IN-N + available OR-N Conversion of units If the lab analyzed samples as solid waste but the client plans to apply the waste in liquid. form, Eqs. [ 1 I ] and [ 12] can be used to convert from solid waste application units (tons) to liquid waste application units (1000 gallons), and vice versa. These conversions assume that one gallon of liquid waste weighs 8.34 pounds. [11] lb/ton x 4.17 = lb/1000 gal. [12] lb/1000 gal. x 0.24 = lb/ton For some applications, such as use of compost on gardens or landscapes, :it is useful to plan for application of pounds to an area of 1.00 or 1000 ft' rather than tons per acre. Refer to Eqs. [13] and [14] for these conversions. [13] tons/acre x 45.9 = pounds/1000 ft2 [14] tons/1000 ftz x 4.6 = pounds/100 ft` Jah, 21113 NC'DA&C'S IX'as(o and ("ompos,( Anatvsis Guide Table 1.

The "T' symbol indicates the test may or may not be included and will be determined upon receipt at the lab. 2 Waste code descriptions are listed in Table 2 and on page 2 of PPasteSan p c In brinalLOL qjbrn (D. L_L_ 1 A9) 3 Mineral nutrients include concentrations (ppm) of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (0), magnesium (Mg), sulfur (S), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (.'fin), copper (Cu), boron (B) and sodium (Na). With the exception of liquid waste N, all measures are total nutrient concentrations-, liquid waste N is measured as Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TK.N). ' DM% — dry matter percent; DM% is Measured for solid waste samples only. For codes in which "?" is indicated, the determination of the sample as solid or liquid waste is made the by lab personnel based on visual inspection. Generally, samples with DM% > 8-10% (as determined by visual inspection) are categorized as solid waste; samples with DM% < 8-10 are categorized as liquid waste. EC = electrical conductivity [a measure of soluble salts (SS)] and is reported in units of 10-5 S/Cm. 6 C! = carbon; C is measured on solid waste samples only and is reported in units of ppm or mg/kg.

Methods for Waste Analysis Solid Waste Analysis Methodology Sample handling 3 Prior to analysis, a subsample (-250 cm ) is weighed (Mettler PM4800; Mettler -Toledo, Hightstown, NJ), dried overnight (12-24 hr) at 80 T, reweighed, and ground with a stainless steel grinder (Intermediate Wiley Mill; Arthur H. Thomas Co.; Philadelphia, PA) to pass through a 20-mesh (1-nun) screen (adapted from Hoskins et al., 2003). Percent solids, or dry matter percent (DM%), is calculated by the following equation: DM% = (dry weight fresh weight) x 100, Nitrogen (N) and carbon (C) Total N and C concentrations are determined by oxygen combustion gas chromatography with an elemental analyzer (NA1 500; CE Elantech Instruments; Lakewood, NJ) (AOAC 1990b; Campbell 1992) on a 5— to I 0—nig aliquot of the dried/ground sample. Results are expressed in parts per million (ppm) [equivalent to mg/kg] on a dry -weight basis. Inorganic nitrogen (IN-N) fraction concentrations include nitrate nitrogen + nitrite nitrogen (NO_j-N + NO2-N) (reported as NO3-N on the Waste Analysis Report) and ammonium nitrogen (NH3-N + NH4-N) (reported as NH4-N on the Waste Analysis Report). NO3-N is determined by nitrate -hydrazine reduction (Kempers 1988; Skalar Analytical 1995b) and NH4-N is determined modified Berthelot reaction (adapted from Krom 1980; Skalar Analytical 1995a) with an auto -flow spectrophotometric analyzer (San` Segmented Flow Auto -Analyzer, Skalar Instruments, Breda, The Netherlands) following a delonized water (I g / 25 mL) 30-minute extraction on a reciprocating shaker (Wrist Action Model 75; Burrell Corp. Pittsburgh, PA). Results are expressed in parts per million (ppm) [equivalent to mg/kg] on a dry -weight basis. Organic N (OR-N) is calculated as the difference between total N and IN-N concentrations. Results are expressed in parts per million (ppm) [equivalent to mg/kg] on a dry -weight basis. Phosphorus M, potassium (K), calcium (Ca), sulfur (S), magnesium (Mg), boron (B), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manttanese (Mn), zinc (Zn), sodium (Na), nickel (Ni), cadmium ,(Cd), lead jPb), Total concentrations of P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, B, Na, Ni, Cd and Pb are determined with an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectrophotometer (Optima 3300 DV ICP emission spectrophotometer; Perkin Elmer Corporation; Shelton, CT) (Donohue and Aho 1992; adapted USEPA 2001), after open -vessel IIN03 digestion in a microwave digestion system (MARS & MD S21 00 microwaves; CEM Corp.; Matthews, NC) (Campbell and Plank 1992). A 0.5-g, dried/ground aliquot of sample (1.0 g when nickel, cadmium or lead is analyzed) is digested in 10 mL 15.6N FIN03 for 5-30 minutes In a microwave, and the prepared sample volume is brought to 50 mL with delonized water prior to measurement. Elements are measured at wavelengths listed in Table 4. Results are expressed in parts per million (ppm) [equivalent to mg/kg] on a dry - weight basis. pH and electrical conductivity (E.C) The pH measurement is taken with a hydrogen electrode (Orion 920A; Thermo Fisher Scientific; Beverly, MA) on a 1: 1 (v✓v) slurry of sample to deionized water [10 cm3of sample in 10 CM3 (mL) water] that has been allowed to stand for 60 minutes (Eaton and others 2005; NCDA&CS Waste and Compost Analt.sis Guide i 8 Mly 2013 Wolf 2003b). Following pH measurement, an additional 1.0 Cm3 of deionized water is added to the slurry, and the sample is filtered using a Whatman #1 filter (Whatman, Inc., Florham Park, NJ). Electrical conductivity (EC) (a measure of soluble salts) is measured on this 1:2 (v/v) filtrate using a conductivity meter (Orion 550A; Thermo Fisher Scientific; Beverly, MA) (USEPA 1983; Wolf 2003a). Results of EC are expressed in IV S/cm. Calcium carbonate a uivalence(CCE%) CCE% is a measure of the acid -neutralizing capacity of a waste material. The process involves dissolving a 1-g aliquot of dried sample in 50 nil.., 0.5N HC1(with heat) and back-titratiog to pH 7 with 0.25N NaOH, according to the potentiometric titration method. (AOAC, 1.990a). Results are expressed as percentage of pure calcium carbonate. A2ricuitural time equivalent (ALE) ALE indicates the amount of waste that provides a liming effect equivalent to one ton of agricultural grade limestone (assuming 90% calcium carbonate). This value is calculated as follows: ALE = 1800 =- [(DM% _ 100) x (CCE% 100) x 2000]. Results are expressed in tans. The factor 1800 represents 90% of one ton (in units of pounds). Chloride (Cl D Cl- concentration is determined by the thiocyanate displacement method (tall et al., 1956,.Skalar Analytical 1995b) with an auto - flaw spectrophotometric analyzer (San' Segmented Flow Auto -Analyzer, Skailar Instruments; Breda, The Netherlands) following a deionized water (1 g / 25 mL), 30- minute extraction on a reciprocating shaker (Wrist Action Model 75; Burrell Corp. Pittsburgh; PA). Results are expressed in parts per million (ppm) [equivalent to mg/kg] on a dry -weight basis.

Nitrogen JN) Total,Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN) is determined by modified EPA Method 351.2 using an auto - flow spectrophotometric analyzer (San++ Segmented Flow Auto -Analyzer; Skalar Instruments; Breda, The Netherlands) (Skalar Analytical 1995c; USEPA 1993). A 10-mL aliquot of homogenized sample is digested in 10 mL concentrated H2,SO4 for 45-60 minutes on a digestion block, and the volume is brought to 100 mL with deionized water prior to measurement. Results are expressed in parts per million (ppm) [equivalent to mg/L]. Inorganic nitrogen (IN-N) fraction concentrations include nitrate + nitrite nitrogen (NO3-N + NO2-N) (reported as NO3-N on the Waste Analysis Report) and ammonium nitrogen (NH4-N). NO3-N is determined on a homogenized sample (-20mL) by nitrate - hydrazine reduction (Kempers 1988; Skalar Analytical 1. 995b) and NH4-N is determined by a modified Berthelot reaction (adapted from Krom 1980; Skalar Analytical 1995a), with an auto -flow spectrophotometric analyzer (San-+ Segmented Flow Auto -Analyzer, Skalar Instruments; Breda, The Netherlands), Results are expressed in parts per million (ppm) [equivalent to mg/L]. Phosphorus (P), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), sulfur (S), magnesium (Mj!), boron (13), copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), sodium (Na), nickel (Ni), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) Total concentrations of P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, B, Na, Ni, Cd and Pb are determined with an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectrophotometer (Donohue and Aho 1992; adapted from USEPA 200 1) (Optima 3300 DV ICP emission spectrophotometer; Perkin Elmer Corporation, Shelton, CT), after OPM-VeSSel HNO3 digestion in a microwave digestion system (MARS & MDS21 00 microwaves; CEM Corp.; Matthews, NC) (Campbell and Plank 1992). A 5-mL aliquot of homogenized sample is digested in 10 mL 15.6N HNO3 for 5-30 minutes in a microwave, and the volume is brought to 50 mL with delonized water prior to measurement. Elements are measured at wavelengths listed in Table 4. Results are expressed in parts per million (ppm) [equivalent to mg/L]. pH and electrical conductivity (EC) The p1l and electrical conductivity (EC) (a measure of soluble salts) values are measured directly on homogenized samples. The pH is measured using a hydrogen electrode (Orion 920A; Thermo Fisher Scientific; Beverly, MA) (Eaton and others 2005; Wolf 2003b). Electrical conductivity is measured using a conductivity meter (Orion 550A; Thermo Fisher Scientific; Beverly, MA) (USEPA 1983; (Wolf 2003a). Results of EC are expressed in 10-5 S/cm. Calcium carbonate equivalence (CCE%) CCE% is a measure of the acid -neutralizing capacity of a waste material. The process involves dissolving a 10-mL, homogenized aliquot in 50 mL UN HCl (with heat) and back-titrating to pH 7 with 0.25N NaOH, according to the potentiometric titration method (AOAC, 1990a). Results are expressed as percentage of pure calcium carbonate. Agricultural lime equivalent (ALE) ALE indicates the amount of waste that provides a liming effect equivalent to one ton of agricultural grade limestone (assuming 90% calcium carbonate). This value is calculated as follows (assuming I gal. of liquid waste weighs 8,34 lb): ALE = 1800 ­. [(CCE% + 100) x 8340]. Results are expressed in 1000 gal.

In a letter dated June 5, 2017, the North Carolina Division of Water Resources requested that an explanation be provided as to how the annual loading rate for Application No. WQ0039181 was calculated. Thompson Environmental. Consulting, Inc. would like to offer the following explanation in response to this request. Annual Loading Rate C. Soil Evaluation I - Explain how the recommended annual loading rate was calculated. Hydraulic conductivity (KSAT) tests were measured using a, Compact Constant Head C� Pertnearrieter (Arnoozemeter) and values were generated -using the published calculations and formulas found in the corresponding User's Manual. For the Carolina Malt House site the Glover solution was chosen as the most appropriate i-nethod for calculating KqAT based on in situ depth to impermeable layers. The Glover solution is recommended when the distance between the bottom of the auger hole and any inapenneable layer (s) is greater than 2 titnes the head (H), or constant water level in the hole. The Glover solution is given by: KsAT= AQ Where: A= (sink-'(H/r)-[(r/H)2+l] 1f4rfflj / (27rFF) And: Q is the stready-statc, rate of water flow from the Amoozerneter into the auger hole. To solve for A: H is the head in the hole (i.e. total water depth) and r is the radius of the hole. For Soil Unit I the measured Kskr rate in the BC horizon (0,109 in/hr) was determined the most limiting. A drainage coefficient of 0.10 was proposed for this soil unit. Based on soil and site characteristics and professional j udgment, a weekly loading rate of I . I inches was recommended for Soil Unit I that results in 57.2 inches annually and corresponds to a drainage coefficient of 0.06, lower than the proposed coefficient. The measured Ksxr rate in the B/C horizon (0.0459 in/hr) proved to be the most limiting for Soil. Unit 2. A drainage coefficient of 0.08 was recommended for this soil -unit. Based on soil and site characteristics and professional judgment, a weekly loading rate of 0.4 inches was recommended for Soil Unit 2 that results in 20.8 inches annually and corresponds to a drainage coefficient of 0.0735.
