The facility operates a 2 million gallon per day (MGD) wastewater treatment plant for the treatment of process wastewater prior to land application under the auspices of Wastewater Irrigation System Permit WQ0000884. Sanitary wastewater is pretreated in a ioo,000 gallon per day (GPD) package treatment plant which was replaced in 2oi8-2oig. The new package plant consists of the following: • Mechanical bar screen, • 25,000 gallon aerated equalization tank • Dual train 37,500 gallon each aeration tanks • Dual train 22,000 gallon each clarifiers, and • Associated piping, valves, and controls. Treated sanitary wastewater is discharged to the 13 million gallon (MG) lagoon which is part of the industrial wastewater plant described below. The industrial wastewater treatment plant consists of the following: • 1 MG flow equalization tank with mixers • Two dissolved air flotation (DAF) units with polymer feed • A DAF sludge pump station • DAF sludge storage tank • DAF sludge decant observation tank • 13 MG aerated lagoon with five 6o HP surface aerators • 41 MG holding lagoon with three 20 HP surface aerators • Chlorine disinfection, and • Associated piping, valves, and controls. Upgrades to the wastewater treatment system have been continuously performed by Butterball to improve operation and performance of the plant and reduce loading on the spray irrigation fields. In 2otu, Butterball began using peracetic acid in the production facility which resulted in lower wastewater effluent volumes. In 2ot1 Butterball also upgraded the DAF and offal system to improve performance of the wastewater treatment system, in particular to enhance nitrogen, phosphorous, suspended solids, and organics removal. Effluent from the 41 MG lagoon is pumped via four ioo HP pumps and two 5o HP booster irrigations to the spray irrigation system. The spray irrigation system is currently permitted for 556.88 acres with 35 fields, which includes 73.7o acres of newly permitted fields. These fields were added by Butterball in 2017 in order to upgrade and expand the irrigation system to reduce loading on the existing fields. The additional acreage will allow for existing fields to be periodically removed from service to perform maintenance activities. Five of the new fields (13A (an expansion of 13), 14,15C, 16, and 18) were constructed and brought online in 2o18 for a cumulative additional acreage of 48.66 acres. Six of the fields (15A,15B, 17A, 17B, 17C, and 17D) with a cumulative acreage of 25.04 acres have been permitted but have yet to be constructed. A site plan for the land application system is provided as the attached Figure 1. In addition to the 2017 spray irrigation system upgrade, Butterball again modified the permit to upgrade the WWTP in 2o18. This upgrade included replacement and enhancement of the sanitary wastewater pretreatment system to increase nitrogen, phosphorous, suspended solids, and organics removal and thereby reduce loading on the fields. Recent permit issuances included a new requirement for Butterball to submit an annual report summarizing any exceedances of permitted monitored well limits and corrective action taken. This requirement is found in Section I(6) of the most recent issuance of WQ0000884 (August 30, 2022). This 2023 submittal satisfies this requirement. Annual reports are submitted by March 1 each year. 1 2of8 Dewberr Groundwater Monitoring Well Data 2022 Monitoring Well Data Table 1 summarizes the monitoring well data collected during the reporting period January 1, 2022 — December 31, 2022. Analysis of 2022 data in the context of historical data is provided in subsequent sections. In 2022, exceedances of groundwater standards were observed in four wells for at least one parameter. An exceedance of the nitrate standard was observed in MW-22, MW-39, and MW-4o during the January and May sampling events. MW-38 exceeded the nitrate standard in May and the nitrate and TDS standards in September. MW-41 exceeded the nitrate standard for all three sampling events. Ten monitoring wells did not experience exceedances of the groundwater standards for any parameter during 2022 sampling events. The pH for all wells was below the groundwater standard range for all three sampling events in all wells. No exceedances were observed for ammonia -nitrogen and chloride in any well in 2022. Historical Data Analvsis Monitoring well sampling results from 2oo8-2022 were analyzed in order to evaluate trends in groundwater results. This period was selected as operations at the Butterball facility prior to 2oo8 were different enough from current operations that a comparative analysis is less meaningful. Table 2 attached presents a summary of parameter exceedances by year and monitoring well. The chloride groundwater standard of 250 mg/l was exceeded in MW-27 in 2oo8. Chloride has not exceeded the standard during any other sampling events since 2oo8 and therefore will not be discussed further in this report. The total dissolved solids (TDS) groundwater standard of 500 mg/l was exceeded in five monitoring wells in 2oo8 (MW-23, MW-24, MW-27, MW-3o, and MW-34). An exceedance of the TDS groundwater standard occurred in 2015 in MW-21; however, this is an upgradient well and is not impacted by irrigation activities. The TDS groundwater standard has been exceeded in MW-38 during 10 of the past 11 years. Additional analysis of the TDS results in MW-38 will be addressed below. The nitrate groundwater standard of 10 mg/l was exceeded in MW-38 in at least one sampling event per year from 2011-2022. MW-27 has also historically experienced consistent exceedances of the nitrate groundwater standard, however, an exceedance of the nitrate groundwater standard has not occurred at MW-27 since the January 2o18 sampling event. Nitrate exceedances have been observed in MW-39 in 2019-2022. MW-38 and MW-39 nitrate results will be analyzed in additional detail below. Nitrate exceedances in other wells have been sporadic, do not represent a trend, and therefore will not be analyzed in additional further in this report. Nitrate exceedances have been observed in MW-40 in 2o18, 2o19, and 2022 and MW-41 in 2021 and 2022; however, those two wells were installed in 2017 and historical data is not available. Butterball currently monitors 15 wells which include review boundary and compliance boundary wells. Review boundary is defined as a boundary around a permitted disposal facility, midway between a waste boundary and a compliance boundary at which groundwater monitoring is required (15A NCAC 02L.0102). Compliance boundary is defined as a boundary around a disposal system at and beyond which groundwater quality standards may not be exceeded (15NCAC 02L.0102). With the exception of MW-40, all groundwater exceedances since 2oo9 have occurred in review boundary wells. An exceedance of groundwater standards at a review boundary well is not necessarily indicative of an exceedance at the compliance boundary or at the Butterball property line. Corrective action taken by Butterball to address exceedances at the review boundary wells are described herein. It should be noted that MW-40, which was installed in 2017, is a compliance boundary well but it is downgradient of Fields 15A and 15B which have not been constructed. 1 3of8 1"' Dewberry r���r v,r Total Dissolved Solids Mw-38 exceeded the TDS standard in 2022 and is the only monitoring well with consistent historic TDS exceedances. The TDS concentration in MW-38 has exceeded the groundwater standard of 500 mg/l in iu of the 34 samples collected from 2011-2022. Figure 1 presents the MW-38 TDS groundwater concentration and the cumulative mass of TDS applied to the Fields 1A,1B, and 1C which are immediately upgradient of MW-38. Figure 1. MW-38 TDS Analysis The MW-38 groundwater concentration appears to correlate fairly well to the mass of TDS applied to Fields 1A,1B, and 1C. The decline in MW-38 TDS concentration observed in January 2014, September 2o16, September 2o18, and September 202o are preceded by decreases in the mass of TDS applied to 1A,1B, and 1C. In addition, the increase in MW-38 concentration observed in January and May 20177 and May and September 2oig are preceded by an increase in the TDS mass applied to these fields. The increase in September 2022 is preceded directly by an increase in TDS loading to upgradient fields. The MW-38 TDS concentration appears to be impacted by operation of the sprayfields. Ongoing activities to address this impact are addressed in the Corrective Action section. 1 4of8 1"' Dewberry Nitrate Nitrate has historically exceeded the groundwater standard in MW-22, MW-27, MW-38, and MW-39. MW-38 is downgradient of fields 1A, 1B, and 1C. These three fields collectively represent 112.82 acres which is 21% of the total active sprayfield area. MW-27 is downgradient of fields 7 and 7A. These two fields collectively represent 15.69 acres which is 2.9 % of the total active sprayfield area. Active area refers to the 531.84 acres that have been constructed to date. MW-22 is upgradient and MW-39 is downgradient of a sprayfield that has not been constructed. Therefore, the elevated nitrate on both fields is not likely a result of impacts of spray irrigation. Attachment A presents a map showing the average nitrate concentration at each well across the Butterball site. Attachment A demonstrates that exceedance of nitrate groundwater standards is not a wide -spread issue at the site but rather is isolated to a couple monitoring wells, historically MW-27 and MW-38. This year, historical averages on MW-39 and MW-41 have exceeded nitrate standards, but MW-27 has not. A historical analysis of MW-27 and MW-38 nitrate concentrations versus loading to upgradient fields is presented below. Figure 2 presents the MW-38 nitrate groundwater concentration and the cumulative mass of total nitrogen applied daily to the Fields iA,1B, and 1C. Figure 2.

Mov. Avg. (Mass TN Applied to 1A, 1B, 1C) The MW-38 nitrate concentration correlates at times with operation of the fields 1A, 1B, and 1C. Decreases in nitrate concentration observed in September 2o16 and May 2o18 are preceded by decreases in the mass of TN applied to these fields. However, the trend in MW-38 and TN loading to fields iA,1B, and 1C do not always correlate. An increase in nitrate concentration observe in May 2o16 and September 2017 are preceded by periods of declining nitrogen loading on the fields. In addition, the nitrate concentration declined continuously from September 2013 through September 2014 during a period when nitrogen loading on the fields was continuously increasing. Additionally, in 2019, the nitrate concentration in Mw-38 increased when January and May 2019 samples were collected after a period of declining mass loading on these fields. In 2020 the nitrate concentration in MW-38 1 5of8 1"' Dewberry increased in the January 202o after a period of increased loading on fields 1A,1B, and 1C and then declined in May and September 2020 when loading also declined. The nitrate concentration in MW-38 during the January 2022 sampling event was below io mg/l, but after loading increased in February and March, MW-38 increased. Figure g presents the MW-27 nitrate groundwater concentration with the total mass of total nitrogen applied to the Fields 7 and 7A. MW-27 nitrate results show significant variability over time. Historically the nitrate mass applied to upgradient fields 7 and 7A has not correlated with the MW-27 nitrate results. However, since 2019, the nitrate concentration at MW-27 has remained below the groundwater standard and the nitrate result for MW-27 does correlate well with the mass of nitrate applied to fields 7 and 7A. The MW-27 nitrate concentration declined significantly from May 2oo8 to September 2oo8 during a period when nitrogen loading to the upgradient fields was relatively stable. In addition, the MW-27 nitrate concentration decreased significantly from May 2015 to September 2015 during a period when the nitrogen loading to upgrade fields was increased. The MW-27 concentration increased sharply in September 20177 to January 2o18 without a corresponding increase in the total nitrogen loading to upgradient fields. The long-term average nitrate concentration in MW-27 is below the groundwater standard of io mg/l. MW-38 and MW-27 nitrate concentrations do not consistently correlate well to the mass of nitrogen applied to the fields. It is not clear at this time what is causing nitrate groundwater standard exceedances in MW-27 and MW-38; however, it is likely a combination of multiple factors such as historical operation of the fields, precipitation, background nitrate from upgradient agricultural sources, and wastewater composition including parameters such as biochemical oxygen demand and salts. The May 202o results from the background well MW-22 exceeded the groundwater standard. Salts applied to the fields can impact infiltration rates, which can impact treatment efficiencies in the system. Biochemical oxygen demand must be available for denitrification of nitrate to occur within the soil matrix. Maintenance activities described below are intended to address salt build up in the fields and improve infiltration rates. 1 6of8 1"' Dewberry - Corrective Action Butterball has undertaken multiple steps to address groundwater standard exceedances for nitrate and TDS in review boundary well MW-27 and review boundary well MW-38. In 2017, Butterball expanded and upgraded their irrigation system to permit an additional 73.7 acres of irrigable acreage. This additional acreage has allowed Butterball to reduce hydraulic and constituent loading on the fields. Currently, Butterball has constructed 48.66 acres of the new fields and began using the additional area in 2o18. Prior to the installation of the new fields, the average daily volume applied to Fields 1A, 1B, and 1C was 320,000 gpd from 2oo8 — 2017. The reduction in irrigation volume for Fields 1A, 1B, and 1C can be seen in Table 3 below. Even with significant reduction in volumetric loading, MW-38 data indicated exceedances in the groundwater standard in 2022. Table 3. Volumetric Reduction of Irrigation for Fields 1A,1 B, and 1 C Average Daily Volume (gpd) Percent Reduction of Irrigation Volume Compared to Pre-2018 Irrigation Volumes N 11MITI e In addition, Butterball will use the additional acreage to periodically remove fields from service for maintenance activities. In September 2o18, Field 1B, the single largest permitted field, was removed from service and has undergone a series of disking and idle periods in order to allow for degradation of organic matter that has accumulated in the field. In addition to disking and idle periods, gypsum addition occurred in January 2019 to improve the exchangeable sodium percentage of the fields. Prior to rehabilitation, only 25% of Field 1B was functioning within normal soil and infiltration conditions. Post -rehabilitation analysis indicates that after rehabilitation over 89 % of the field area was functioning within normal soil and infiltration conditions. Interim results indicate a >800% increase in the infiltration rates within Field 1B and suggest that the selected maintenance improved performance of the field. Butterball replaced the sanitary package pretreatment plant in 2018 with construction completed in 2o19. This upgrade will enhancement the sanitary wastewater pretreatment system to increase nitrogen, phosphorous, suspended solids, and organics removal and thereby reduce loading on the fields. Butterball removed Fields iA and 1C from service in November 2019. Pre-rehabflitation soil analysis was performed followed by a series of disking and gypsum addition and idle periods. Post-rehabflitation sampling was performed in March 2020. Prior to rehabilitation of Field 1A, only 21.8 % of the fields were functioning within soil and infiltration condition while post-rehabflitation 95.4% of the field was within normal limits. Prior to rehabilitation of Field 1C, no portion of the field was operating within normal limits for soil and infiltration conditions and post -rehabilitation 93.2 % was within normal limits. Following the rehabilitation, additional trenching was installed in Field 1A to provide drainage for two depressions that were consistently wet. Butterball completed maintenance activities at Fields 8b and 8c in 2022. Both fields were taken offline for rehabilitation for four months. Butterball disced and applied gypsum and lime to both fields. Butterball will closely observe if the additional irrigable acreage, maintenance activities on Field 1A, 1B, iC, 8b, and 8c and upgraded sanitary pretreatment plant will have an impact on MW-27 and MW-38 nitrate results. 17of8 1"' Dewberry Conclusion Groundwater monitoring wells have demonstrated periodic exceedances of nitrate and TDS standards at the Butterball facility. TDS exceedances have been isolated to MW-38 since 2009. MW-38 TDS results correlate with operation of Fields 1A, 1B, and 1C. Maintenance of Fields 1A and 1C is completed as of this report date. A steady decline in TDS concentrations in MW-38 were observed in 2o18, likely as a result of the reduced loading due to addition of new fields. Sampling data from MW-38 has shown an overall decreasing trend until an increase in September 2022. Butterball will observe the TDS results during 2023 to evaluate if maintenance activities have continued to impact TDS results in MW-38. Nitrate exceedances have sporadically occurred in multiple monitoring wells across the site but have largely been isolated to review boundary wells MW-27 and MW-38. Attachment A demonstrates that exceedance of nitrate groundwater standards is not a wide -spread issue at the site but rather is isolated to two monitoring wells, MW-27 and MW-38. Analysis of historical nitrogen loading to upgradient fields for each monitoring well does not demonstrate strong correlation with the MW-27 and MW-38 nitrate concentrations. However, the groundwater nitrate concentration is impacted by a variety of factors such as infiltration rates, availability of organic constituents to support denitrification in the soil matrix, and the nitrogen available to support crop production. Butterball has permitted 73.7 acres of additional irrigable acreage in order to reduce hydraulic and contaminant loading on existing fields. The additional acreage will also allow for existing fields to be removed from service periodically for maintenance. New fields were made operational in 2o18, allowing Butterball to initiate maintenance activities for Field 1B the same year. Since initiating operation of the new fields, Butterball has reduced hydraulic loading to Fields 1A, 1B, and 1C by at least 23%. Butterball completed maintenance activities at Field 1B in 2018-2oi9. Butterball targeted Field 1B initially as it is the single largest field and is upgradient of MW-38. Maintenance activities for Fields 1A and 1C were initiated in November 2oi9 and were completed in March 2020. Butterball is currently taking actions to address groundwater exceedances. Improvement has already been observed in MW-38 monitoring results with the reduced loading from addition of new fields. Results of maintenance on Field 1B suggests that field performance will be improved by the actions taken and, if the MW-38 are largely impacted by irrigation, an improvement in MW-38 results will be observed over time. Field iA and 1C maintenance is completed and the impact of these activities should continue to be evaluated. 1 8of8 TABLES AND ATTACHMENT A Table 1 2022 Monitoring Well Sampling Results Butterball, Mt Olive, NC Sampling Date Water Level From Top of Casing. pH Total Organic Carbon Fecal Coliform Total Dissolved Solids Total phosphorus Ammonia-N Nitrate-N Nitrite-N Chloride Units - feet s.u. mg/I MPN/100 mL mg/I mg/I mg/I mg/I mg/I mg/I Groundwater Standard - 6.5 - 8.5 - 1 500 - 1.5 10 1 250 MW-22 1/13/2022 6.7 4.3 1.7 <1 142 0.14 <0.2 12.9 0.02 25 5/17/2022 7.2 4.2 1.5 <1 188 0.04 <0.2 20.2 0.02 12 9/9/2022 8.7 4.2 2.2 <1 191 0.07 <0.2 4.58 0.02 16 MW-23 1/13/2022 7.1 5 2.3 <1 79 0.33 <0.2 1.18 0.02 49 5/17/2022 14.8 5.4 3.4 <1 243 0.78 <0.2 0.88 0.03 17 9/9/2022 8.1 5 7.1 <1 323 0.17 <0.2 0.94 0.02 16 M W-24 1/13/2022 12 4.6 0.8 <1 69 0.04 0.2 4.7 0.02 23 5/17/2022 12.8 4.6 0.5 <1 58 0.06 0.2 3.51 0.02 13 9/9/2022 10.7 5.5 7.7 <1 90 0.1 0.2 1.02 0.05 5 MW-27 1/13/2022 8.4 4.6 0.5 <1 78 0.04 0.2 4.88 0.02 25 5/17/2022 9 4.7 0.5 <1 41 0.04 0.2 2.44 0.02 6 9/9/2022 10.7 4.5 0.9 <1 187 0.05 0.2 6.56 0.02 80 MW-28 1/13/2022 9.2 4.6 0.7 <1 61 0.04 <0.20 2.28 0.02 19 5/17/2022 9.7 4.6 1 <1 49 0.04 <0.20 1.26 0.02 5 9/9/2022 12.8 5.2 0.9 <1 44 0.04 <0.20 2.33 0.02 6 MW-29 1/13/2022 9.1 4.5 0.5 <1 42 0.13 <0.2 0.41 <0.02 19 5/17/2022 9.5 5.3 0.5 <1 85 0.36 <0.2 0.05 <0.02 6 9/9/2022 9.8 5.5 0.5 <1 76 0.69 <0.2 0.02 <0.02 6 MW-34 1/13/2022 13.1 4.9 0.5 <1 74 0.04 <0.2 1.56 <0.02 15 5/17/2022 15.2 5 0.5 <1 55 0.74 <0.2 1.04 <0.02 5 9/9/2022 13.7 4.7 1 <1 135 0.11 <0.2 4.03 <0.02 21 MW-35 1/13/2022 13.8 5.2 0.6 <1 79 0.04 <0.20 0.81 <0.02 29 5/17/2022 14.1 5.8 0.7 <1 42 0.04 <0.20 0.22 <0.02 5 9/9/2022 16.3 5.2 0.6 <1 60 0.2 <0.20 0.92 <0.03 5 MW-36 1/13/2022 12.7 4.3 0.5 <1 60 0.26 <0.2 0.79 <0.02 20 5/17/2022 11.8 5.5 0.5 <1 35 0.32 <0.2 0.61 <0.02 5 9/9/2022 11.4 5 0.6 <1 37 0.1 <0.2 0.72 <0.02 5 MW-37 1/13/2022 16.3 4.2 0.5 <1 215 0.04 <0.20 4.15 <0.02 45 5/17/2022 17 4.8 0.5 <1 111 0.04 <0.20 5.18 <0.02 28 9/9/2022 16.6 4.8 0.8 <1 137 0.04 <0.20 5.18 <0.02 40 MW-38 1/27/2022 22 4.6 2.8 <1 289 0.04 <0.2 8.19 0.02 52 5/17/2022 20.3 4.4 2.1 <1 382 0.04 <0.2 38.8 0.03 97 9/9/2022 20.4 4.3 2.2 <1 755 0.1 <0.2 27.4 0.02 186 M W-39 (CP-1) 1/27/2022 16.6 4.0 0.5 <1 300 0.32 <0.2 17.80 0.02 107 5/17/2022 19.3 3.96 0.5 <1 293 0.28 <0.2 25.3 0.02 89 9/9/2022 18.8 4.0 0.5 <1 239 0.26 <0.2 9.59 0.02 88 M W-40 (CP-2) 1/27/2022 11.9 4.6 0.5 <1 176 0.04 <0.02 12.5 0.02 55 5/17/2022 12.3 4.7 0.6 <1 174 0.20 <0.02 14.7 0.06 47 9/9/2022 12.6 5 0.9 <1 19 0.23 <.02 0.8 0.02 5 M W-41 (CP-3) 1/27/2022 15.5 4.2 0.5 <1 277 0.04 0.2 19.5 0.02 76 5/17/2022 15.3 4.2 0.5 <1 308 0.04 0.2 32.9 0.02 94 9/9/2022 8.7 4.3 0.5 <1 319 0.13 0.2 16 0.02 83 M W-42 (CP-4) 1/27/2022 6.8 4.5 1.5 <1 86 0.04 <0.02 0.22 0.02 24 5/17/2022 7.6 4.8 1.4 <1 62 0.3 <0.02 0.2 0.02 12 9/9/2022 9.8 4.9 2.2 <1 106 0.15 <.02 0.16 0.04 17 Denotes an exceedance of groundwater standard. * Note: pH at the site has historically been below the groundwater standard range even in upgradient wells.
