Failure of the Permittee to maintain, in full force and effect, lessee and landowner agreements, which are required in the CAWMP, shall constitute grounds for revocation of this Permit. 10. The issuance of this Permit does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances (local, state, and federal). 11. If animal production ceases, the Permittee is responsible for developing, implementing and completing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, erosion, and the potential for injury. Closure shall include notifying the Division. Should the Permittee desire to abandon the Waste -to -Energy System a "closure plan" must be submitted to the Division. The closure plan must include recommendations by a Professional Engineer for the removal of all equipment associated with the Waste -to - Energy System so as not to create any discharge. No equipment shall be removed without prior approval from the Division. 12. This Permit shall become voided unless the facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions of this Permit, the approved plans and specifications, and other supporting data. 13. This Permit is effective only with respect to the nature and volume of wastes described in the application and other supporting data for Stockinghead Creek Farms, LLC. The Permittee shall notify the Division immediately of any applicable information not provided in the permit application. Any proposed modification to an animal waste management system component shall require approval from the Division prior to construction. 14. This Permit is not automatically transferable.

The Permittee, at least six (6) months prior to the expiration of this permit, shall request its extension. Upon receipt of the request, the Commission will review the adequacy of the facilities described therein, and if warranted, will extend the permit for such period of time and under such conditions and limitations as it may deem appropriate. 17. The issuance of this Permit does not prohibit the Division from reopening and modifying the Permit, revoking and reissuing the Permit, or terminating the Permit as allowed by the appropriate laws, rules, and regulations. 18. Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of five years or more, the Permittee must submit documentation to the Division demonstrating compliance with NC Session Law 2015-263. VII. PENALTIES Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this Permit; the facility's CAWMP; and/or applicable state law; may subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division including but not limited to the modification of the animal waste management system, civil penalties, criminal penalties and injunctive relief. 2. The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this Permit. Any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of state law and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit coverage termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit coverage renewal application. 3. It shall not be a defense for a Permittee in an enforcement action to claim that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the conditions of this Permit. V1II. DEFINITIONS 25-year, 24-hour rainfall or storm event means the maximum 24-hour precipitation event with a probable recurrence interval of once in 25 years, as defined by the National Weather Service in Technical Paper Number 40, "Rainfall Frequency Atlas of the United States," May 1961, and subsequent amendments, or equivalent regional or state rainfall probability information developed therefrom. Agronomic rates mean the amount of animal waste and/or other nutrient sources to be applied to meet the nutrient needs of the crop, but does not overload the soil with nutrients or other constituents that cause or contribute to a contravention of surface water or groundwater standards, limit crop growth, or adversely affect soil quality. Nutrient needs of the crop shall be based on realistic yield expectations (RYE) established for a soil series through published Cooperative Extension Service bulletins, NRCS publications, county soil surveys, or site -specific agronomist reports. Amendment to the CAWMP means a change and/or addition to a part(s) of the plan, and requires that the change and/or addition adhere to current applicable standards. The following are examples of amendments to the CAWMP: 19 Permit No. AW1310048 January 19, 2017 • In an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes 25% or less of the N generated is considered a plan amendment. Additional acreage needed to facilitate the change in crops and/or cropping pattern is permissible and considered part of the amendment. • The addition of winter crops and/or interseeded perennial crops are considered amendments to an existing CAWMP when the operation does not require additional acreage and/or crops for N utilization, and does not exceed the 25% criteria stated above. • When a CAWMP cannot meet N utilization requirements due to land lost to irrigation inefficiency (useable versus total acres), then the CAWMP may be amended to increase available acreage and/or change the crop for N utilization. This is the only exception to the 25% N criteria for plan revision. • Inclusions of emergency action plans, and insect, odor and mortality checklists are considered CAWMP amendments. • Including additional acreage for land application beyond what is required in the existing CAWMP is considered a plan amendment. Animal feeding operation means a lot or facility (other than an aquatic animal production facility) where the following conditions are met: (i) animals (other than aquatic animals) have been, are, or will be stabled or confined and fed or maintained for a total of forty-five (45) days or more in any twelve (12) month period, and (ii) crops, vegetation, forage growth, or post -harvest residues are not sustained in the normal growing season over any portion of the lot or facility. Two or more animal feeding operations under common ownership are considered to be a single animal feeding operation if they adjoin each other, or if they use a common area or system for the disposal of wastes. Certification means technical specialist certification of the CAWMP in accordance with the requirements of 15A NCAC 02T .1304. It is unrelated to terms "Annual Certification" as used in Condition II1.16 of this Permit. Director means the Director of the North Carolina Division of Water Resources. Ditch means any man made channel for the purpose of moving water off a site to the surface waters. Excessive Ponding means any area of the application field where visible liquid waste is ponded on the surface of the land application site more than four (4) hours following the application of waste. Excessive ponding also means any areas where the ponding of waste has resulted in crop failure. Groundwater means any subsurface waters, as defined in 15A NCAC 2L .0102. Land application means the application of wastewater and/or waste solids onto or incorporation into the soil. 20 Permit No, AW1310048 January 19, 2017 Major changes to the CAWMP means changes in the number of animals, type of operation (feeder to finish to wean to feeder), retrofit of a lagoon, installation of a new irrigation system, and similar type changes. Recertification is only required for major changes to the CAWMP. Major changes to a facility must first be approved by the Division. The new CAWMP and the certification shall be submitted with a request that the Permit be amended to reflect the changes. The facility may not make the changes until a new or amended Permit has been issued. Revision to the CAWMP means a change to an entire CAWMP to meet current applicable standards. A CAWMP must be revised if the operation cannot utilize all N nitrogen generated by the animal production in accordance with the existing CAWMP, except for the specific conditions noted in the CAWMP amendment criteria as previously defined. For an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes more than 25% of the N generated by the operation is considered a plan revision. Any change to an existing CAWMP, whether an amendment or revision, must be signed and dated by both the producer and a technical specialist for the new CAWMP to be valid. A revision of the CAWMP does not require recertification. State Waters means all surface waters, wetlands, groundwaters and waters of the United States located in the State. Surface Waters means any stream, river, brook, swamp, lake, sound, tidal estuary, bay, creek, reservoir, waterway, or other surface body or surface accumulation of water, whether public or private, or natural or artificial, that is contained in, flows through, or borders upon any portion of the State of North Carolina, including any portion of the Atlantic Ocean over which the State has jurisdiction as well as any additional Waters of the United States which are located in the State. Waste means manure, animal waste, process wastewater and/or sludge generated at an animal feeding operation. Wetlands means areas that are inundated or saturated by an accumulation of surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances do support a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions, as defined in 15A NCAC 2B .0202. Permit issued this the nineteenth day of January, 2017. NORTH CAROLINA ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT COMMISSION for S. Jay Zimmerman, P.G., Director North Carolina Division of Water Resources By Authority of the Environmental Management Commission Permit Number AWI310048 21 Murphy -Brown, LLC 11/26/2020D 2822 Hwy 24 West P.O. Box 856 '`-- Warsaw, NC 28398 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN Grower(s): Farm Name: Farrow to Wean Farrow to Feeder Farrow to Finish Wean to Finish Feeder to Finish Storage Structure: Storage Period: Application Method: Stockinghead Creek Farm, LLC Stockinghead Creek Farm, LLC; Fac. No.: 31-48 Du: Alin 34382 Anaerobic Lagoon >180 days Irrigation The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. 1 of 11 This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

The farm should produce adequate plant available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above. The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen. In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuds), forage must be removed through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine Inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result If small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage Just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. 4of11 SLUDGE APPLICATION: The following table describes the annual nitrogen accumulation rate per animal in the lagoon sludge Farm Specifications PAN r/animal Farm Totali r Farrow to Wean 0.84 Farrow to Feeder 1 Farrow to Finish 4.1 34382 Wean to Finish 0.306 10520.89 Feeder to Finish 0.36 The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 10520.892 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 52604.46 pounds of plant available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 175 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 420.83568 acres of land. Please note that these are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION: The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. 'This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for >180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Gall your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste. 5of11 Application Rate Guide The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

S ,9 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, recieving crop type, or available land. 3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients. 4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (See USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance). 7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur In order to control odor and flies. 8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the 9of11 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10 Nutrients from waste shelf not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Wastelnutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. i1 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any. residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. 12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist'. Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16 Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 10 of 11 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a 'closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19 Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and altemative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained For a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for a minimum of five years. 23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. 11 of 11 IL T :a i m Quo mn m m m cmo ptl0 Owp W.A i Intl ^°D tlwN p TWO m m N maP' mN n 'P a mm0 C .+O Vm— D V mtla m�m am tl�tl +m W- in A EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN PHONE NUMBERS DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY (DWQ) (910)796-7215 EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SERVICES (EMS) 910 296-2160 SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT (SWCD) (910)296-2160 NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE (NRCS) (910)296-2160 COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE (CES) (910)296-2143 This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking, overflowing or running off site. You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible location for all employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should take. t. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below. A. Lagoon overflow - possible solutions are: a) Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam. b) Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate. c) Stop all flow to the lagoon immediately. d) Call a pumping contractor. @) Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon. B. Runoff from waste application field -actions include: a) Immediately stop waste application. b) Create a temporary diversion to contain waste. c) Incorporate waste to reduce runoff. d) Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that cause the runoff. e) Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred. C. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers - action include: a) Stop recycle pump. b) Stop irrigation pump. c) Close valves to eliminate further discharge. d) Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps. D. Leakage from flush systems, houses, solid separators - action include: a) Stop recycle pump. b) Stop irrigation pump. c) Make sure siphon occurs. d) Stop all flow in the house, flush systems, or solid separators. E. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to flowing leaks - possible action: a) Dig a small sump or ditch from the embankment to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back to lagoon. b) If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil. c) Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and the lagoon bottom as soon as possible. 12/12/2007 2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages. a. Did the waste reach surface waters? b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration? c. Any damage notes, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage? d. Did the spill leave the property? e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters? f. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters? g. Are potable water wells in danger (either on or off the property)? h. How much reached surface waters? 3. Contact appropriate agencies. a. During normal business hours call your DWQ regional office; Phone #, after hours, emergency number: (919) 733-3942. Your phone call should include: your name, facility number, and telephone number, the details of the incident from item 2 above, the exact location of the facility, the location or direction of the movement of the spill, weather and wind conditions. The corrective measures that have been undertaken and the seriousness of the situation. b. If the spill leaves property or enters surface waters, call local EMS phone number. c. Instruct EMS to contact local Health Department. d. Contact CE's phone number, local SWCD office phone number and the local NRCS office for advice / technical assistance phone number. 4. if none of the above works call 911 or the Sheriff's Department and explain your problem to them and ask the person to contact the proper agencies for you. 5.

When selecting multiple methods indicate a primary versus secondary option.k 3 , Methods other than those listed must be approved by the State Veterinarian. Primary Secondary Routine Mortality Burial three feet beneath the surface of the ground within 24 hours of knowledge of animal death. The burial must be at least 300 feet from any flowing stream or public body of water (G.S.1O6-403). The bottom of the burial pit should be at least one foot above the seasonal high water table. Attach burial location map and plan. Landfill at municipal solid waste facility permitted by NC DEQ under GS 15A NCAC 13B .0200. ® Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S. 106-168.7. ® ❑ Complete incineration according to 02 NCAC 52C .0102. A composting system approved and permitted by the NC Department of Agriculture & Con- sumer Services Veterinary Division (attach copy of permit). If compost is distributed off -farm, additional requirements must be met and a permit is required from NC DEQ. In the case of dead poultry only, placing in a disposal pit of a size and design approved by the NC Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (G.S. 106-549.70). ® ® Any method which, in the professional opinion of the State Veterinarian, would make possible the salvage of part of a dead animal's value without endangering human or animal health. (Written approval by the State Veterinarian must be attached). Mass Mortality Plan Mass mortality plans are required for farms covered by an NPDES permit These plans are also recommended for all animal operations. This plan outlines farm -specific mortality man- agement methods to be used for mass mortality. The NCDA&CS Veterinary Division sup- ports a variety of emergency mortality disposal options; contact the Division for guidance: • A catastrophic mortality disposal plan is part of the facility's CAWMP and is activated when numbers of dead animals exceed normal mortality rates as specified by the State Veterinarian. • Burial must be done in accordance with NC General Statutes and NCDA&CS Veterinary Division regulations and guidance. • Mass burial sites are subject to additional permit conditions (refer to facility's animal waste management system permit). • In the event of imminerit threat of a disease emergency, the State Veterinarian may enact additional temporary procedures or measures for disposal according to G.S. 106-399.4.

It is especially important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and wet periods. Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for Bermuda grass) or when there are extended rainy spells such as a thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means that at the first sign of plant growth in the later winter / early spring, irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land in dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet periods. In the late summer ! early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low marker, stop pump to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to aminfa W the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste utilization plan will allow it Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to irrigate does not leave mom for storing excess water during extended wet periods. Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of state law and subject to penalty action. The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following: • Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam. Fescue or common Bermuda grass are the most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilized applied should be based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10- 10-10, or equivalent ® Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of these practices. This should be done at least once a year and possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for heavy vegetative growth. NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating the waste. Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of the lagoon and at less# morAddy and after moor rain&li and storm events. Items to be checked should include, as a minimum, the following: Waste Inlet Wipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes - look for: 1. sapara#ion of joints 2. aWks or brew 3. accumulation of salts or minerals 4. overall condition of pipes Lagoon surfaee - loom for: 1. undesirable vegetative growth '"1'" 2. floating or lodged debris Embankment - look for: I. settlement, cracking, or °Jug" holes 2. side slope stability- slumps or bulges 3. wet or damp areas on the back slope 4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action 5. rodent damage 6. tears or deer damage in the synthetic lagoon liner 7. splits or damaged seams in a synthetic Iagoon Iiner 8. water under synthetic liner patches 4. openings in the fence (if applicable) Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the Iagoon dam. A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. if wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the lagoon may be used to reduce the wave impacts. Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. if your lagoon has any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and construction of waste lagoons. You man need to provide a temporary fix if there is a threat of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless recommended by and appropriate technical expert. Transfer Pumps - cheek for proper operation of: 1. recycling pumps 2. irrigation pumps Check for leaks, Ioose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding noise, or a large amount ofvibration, may indicate that the pump is in need of repair or replacement. NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your pumping system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time to think about switching, repairing or borrowing pumps. Probably, ifyour lagoon is full, your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare parts or pumps. Surface water diversion features are designed to Carry all surface drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parking lot runoff) away from your loon and other waste treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be coming from your lagoon 4 that which comes from your flushing (washing) System pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly. You should inspect your diversion system for the following: L adequate vegetation 2. diversion capacity 3. ridge berm height 2 Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts. You should record rainfall from onsite rain gauges daily. This will give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount (you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in planning irrigation applications and storage. Ifyour lagoon rises excessively, you may have an overflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the lagoon from the surrounding land. Lagoon Operation Startup: 1. ImmediateIy after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil surfaces to avoid erosion. 2. Fill new design treatment volume at least half full of water before waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes. 3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of the lining. 4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather). 5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon liquid volume. This seeding should occur at least two weeks prior to the addition of wastewater. 6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. Ifthe pH falls below 7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of i pound per 1000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid pH is between 7.5 and 8.0. 7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signal inadequate biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended if these conditions occur for prolong periods, especially during the warm season. Loading: The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are optimum for treaimcnt. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained an recharged each day, also work well. Practice water conservation — minimize building water usage and spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and wash down through proper maintenance and water conservation. '� • Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon. Management: • Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and the full temporary storage level. • Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liquid level and the maximum Iiquid level. • Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly, irrigate in the late summer / early fall to provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter. • The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest point of the dam or embanlanent • Do not pump the lagoon liquid level oower than the permanent storage level unless you are removing sludge. • Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible. • Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation, molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon. • Frequently remove solids from catch basins at and of confinement houses or wherever they are installed. • Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges. • Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment. • Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is full or before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume. • If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of pollutant discharge. • Lagoons that are placed in the seasonal high water table could be demagad fivm liner sloughing if pumped below the seasonal high mark elevation. Refer to your lagoon design to see what the season high water elevation is. • Lagoons could also be recharged from ground water if pumped below the seasonal high mark. Refer to your lagoon design to see what the season high water elevation is. Sludge Removal: Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by: • proper lagoon sizing • mechanical solids, separation of flushed waste • gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin • minimizing feed wastage and spillage Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will: • have more nutrients • have more odor, and • require more land to properly use the nutrients Removal techniques: • Hire a custom applicator. • Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper - agitator impeller pump through large - bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland; and soil incorporate. • Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forage land; mix remaining sludge, pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul and spread on to cropland or forage land; and soil incorporate. • Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forage land; dredge sludge from the lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm and area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater, haul spread with manure spreader onto cropland or forage land; and soil incorporate. Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop requirement. When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains intact. If you see soil material or the Synthetic liner material being disturbed YOU should step the activilY 1mlimdi4tGlr aw not rosumo until you are sure that the sludge can be removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as possible. Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of erosion. MOTE: That if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphors, it should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value. The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site. Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions. which could increase the concern of neighbors. Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include: • Modification of the lagoon structure — an example is the placement of a pipe in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in lagoon design before Placing any pipes in dams.) • Lagoon liquid Ievels — high levels are a safety risk. • Failure to inspect and maintain the dam. • Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon. • Liner integrity - protects from inlet pipe scouring, damage during sludge removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater table. NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon cause gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large discharge of wastewater and possible dam failure. Revisedl2/07/I2
