The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a designation form. to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H .0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty. If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office. Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.

Box 51 Midland, NC 28107 Dear Mr. Williams: DIEHNJF DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY September 15, 1997 Subject: Certification/Notice of Violations Williams Farm, Facility #: 13-11 Cabarrus County, NC The deadline for the certified waste management plan to be implemented is December 31, 1997, and there will be no extension of the deadline. With this in mind, this letter will touch on some of the general components and issues that are of concern during an inspection. As a certified, or soon to be certified, farm your files at a minimum must contain the following information, and need to be available for review during the inspection: Certification forms Site diagram - showing fencing, streams, buffer zones Waste application records/forms Maps of acreage and irrigated fields Waste utilization plan Waste and soil analysis records Emergency action plan and mortality & odor control checklist Regarding waste application records, all information should be recorded. This includes (but is. not limited to) the field used, total minutes waste was applied (if required), the amount of waste irrigated/ hauled, the amount of nitrogen applied and the crop nitrogen balance. The crops and fields that are being utilized for waste application must bespecifiedin the certified waste management plan. For those) facilities that grow hay, the date when the hay is harvested should be recorded. If you feel the plan does not allow you the flexibility you need, contact a technical specialist to have the farm plan modified. • For lagoons/storage ponds, remember that a freeboard of 12 inches plus an additional 5 - 9 inches (depending on location) for a 25 year/24 hour rain event must be maintained from the top of the storage pond/lagoon. If there is an emergency spillway/pipe, then the level must be maintained to compensate for a 25 yr/24 hr storm. A pumping marker must also be installed. This may be a pipe or other structure that is already in the lagoon. Whatever the marker is, it must be prominently identified. 919 North Main Street, FAX 704-663-6040 Mooresville, North Carolina 28115 N11141»CAn Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer Voice 704-663-1699 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Reduce Reuse Recycle Page 2 The question often comes up as to what warrants a Notice of Violation (NOV). An NOV may be issued for the following instances, among others: a) inadequate freeboard, b) inadequate land for waste application, c) application on an unapproved crop/acreage, d) discharge of waste from lagoon/facility, e) excessive vegetation on the sideslopes of a lagoon/pond, or f) other minor deficiencies. Examples of a deficiency would be the waste or soil analysis forms not being up to date or the application records not being filled out properly. Please note, failure to submit the certification form by December 31, 1997, does not exclude you from the responsibility of maintaining your storage pond/lagoon levels and waste application records. Also, please be advised that North Carolina General Statutes provide for penalties of up to $10,000 per day per violation as well as criminal penalties for violations of state environmental laws and regulations.

Box 51 Midland, NC 28107 Dear Mr. Williams: NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES MOORESVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY November 19, 1998 Subject: Site Inspection Williams Farm, Facility #: 13-11 Cabarrus County, NC Mr. Alan Johnson of this office has been asked on several occasions about the appropriate time and proper method to take soil and waste samples. Also, during his inspections, he has noticed that while the storage capacity may be adequate in the storage pond/lagoon, in some cases it was not at the level set forth in the waste utilization plan. Mr. Johnson has also noted that some animal operations using hay/pasture systems do not appear to be properly managing the hay crop in the waste application fields. This letter is to highlight some concerns and provide some general guidance for the animal facilities regarding the management of the storage pond/lagoon and waste application fields. For more specific/detailed information, please contact your technical specialist or your local agricultural extension service. Be advised that should a farm be found violating its farm plan and/or have an unpermitted discharge, besides facing civil penalties, the facility could be required to apply for an individual permit. Currently, most farms are operating under a general permit. Waste applications Just as you manage the animals at your facility, proper management of the waste (lagoon/storage pond level) is important. The waste must be pumped from the ponds at the correct time and provide for maximum utilization of the nutrients by the crop. Remember, waste application rates in your farm plan are based on agronomic principles, and assumes the waste will be applied when the nutrients are required (e.g., applying waste to corn at tasseling or bermuda grass in November is of little use for the uptake of nitrogen). Also, the established application rate assumes that the previous crop has been removed from the field. 919 NORTH MAIN STREET, MOORESVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA 26115 PHONE 704-663-1699 FAX 704-663-6040 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY /AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER - SO% RECYCLED/1 O% POST -CONSUMER PAPER Page 2 Grass and small grain crops grown for hay should be harvested in a timely manner. To maximise nutrient uptake, as indicated in the waste utilization plan, and for highest quality, the crop should be harvested at early boot stage (generally every 4 to 5 weeks). Small grain for silage can be harvested in the soft dough stage when direct cut. Contact your agricultural extension agent or technical specialist for proper guidance. General Recommendations for Nitrogen (N) Application for Common Crops: • Small Grains: One-third (1/3) N at planting and remainder in late February or early March. • Corn/Sorghum: For facilities that pump and haul, N should be applied prior to planting. For those facilities that irrigate, a split application with half at planting and the remainder when the corn is 18 inches high. • Fescue/Orchardgrass: Apply one-half (1/2) of the N in mid -February to March and one- ~ half (1/2) in mid -August to September. Bermuda grass: Establishing: 30 to 40 lbs N/ac at planting and 30 to 60 lbs N/ac when runners appear (6 -8 wk. after planting). Maintaining: 50 to 60 lbs N/ac in April and the remainder of the recommended amount in equal increments in June and July or after each cutting. Finally, there have been instances where the amount of waste pumped (as shown in the waste application records) from the lagoon/storage pond does not appear to agree with the amount of waste produced by the animals. One would expect on an annual basis that the amount pumped would be approximately equal to the amount being produced. For example, if a dairy is generating 453,000 gal/yr in waste, then approximately 453,000 gallons of waste should be accounted for in the waste application records over a year. However, there may be some difference due to how low the storage pond was pumped, the number of cows being held in the facility, or the amount of rainfall. Soil analysis (FREE) Fifteen to twenty (15 to 20) soil samples per field (20 acres or less) is desirable. The samples should be thoroughly mixed and sent in as one sample. Each sample should be pulled 4 inches deep for pastures and no -till systems and 8 inches deep for conventional tillage systems. Taking samples during the fall is advisable. The state lab is not as busy at that time and can provide a more timely turn around with the results. This is also a good time to apply lime if recommended by the soil test. When liming is necessary, it is important that it be applied as suggested. Maintaining proper soil pH is as important (if not more so) than fertilizing to maximize crop production. „ Page 3 Waste samples/analysis ($4/sample) The state lab now has.the capability to conduct analyses and provide the results within two working days via the internet. Through the US Postal service allow seven days. Take samples in a timely manner such that waste application rates can be based on the most recent sample results. Six to eight (6 to 8) samples should betaken around the edge of the lagoon/storage pond, approximately 6 feet from the edge and 12 inches below the surface. These can be mixed to make one sample. The sample should be refrigerated if it is not going to be shipped the same day. Always mail waste samples in plastic containers. For farmers who do not have to agitate the lagoon/storage pond prior to application, it is strongly suggested that waste samples be taken prior to waste application. This will prevent the pr6ducer from having to go back and complete the waste application record at a later date. For farmers who apply waste to hay fields and pastures, it is strongly suggested that waste samples be taken quarterly if the waste is applied anytime during the growing season. If you have questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Johnson or me at (704) 663-1699. Sincerely, D. Rex Gleason, P.

Only the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your plan. An evaluation by Brian Wrenn on 6/21/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X". Category 1:: -. IA The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Brian Wrenn the necessary information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre determination. Please submit this information to Brian Wrenn, at 919 North Main Street, Mooresville, NC 28115, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any questions please contact - Brian Wrenn at (704) 663-1699.

Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this designation, or a Professional Engineer. All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWQ within the next 180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation, and/or injunctive relief. Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form.

Box 51 Midland NC 28107 Dear Wilburn Williams: This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal, Waste Management Plan. In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals; and commercial fertilizers. Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRR1, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2, SLD1, and SLD2).and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an appropriate enforcement action. . Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibilityor liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting requirement.
