IZesP0VL'S 8' PO Box 856 Warsaw, NC 28398 December 20, 2023 Ms. Christine Lawson Water Quality Permitting Section Animal Feeding Operations Program 1636 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1636 Re: Scott Farm (31-0005) Site Plan Review Dear Ms. Lawson: Smithfield Hog Production is seeking a permit modification of AWS310005 to construct one new covered lagoon digester and biogas collection system on this site. The farm is on Elvin Carter Lane approximately 4 miles north of Warsaw, North Carolina. This project will involve constructing one new digester, existing lift station improvements, Level control (effluent) transfer station, farm transfer piping and mixing system. This package is being submitted for permit plan approval by NCDWR for the proposed covered lagoon digesters. The following items are included in this package: • New Swine Digester Animal Waste Management System Permit Application • Engineering documents • Construction Narrative • O&M Plan • CAWMP w/ checklists • Location & Setback Map • Site plans and Details On the following page is responses to frequently asked questions. Thank you for taking the time to review this project. Please contact me at (910) 293-3434 or jolmstead@smithfield.com if you have any questions or need additional information. Sincerely, Jason E. Olmstead, P.E. Engineering Project Manager • Page 2 December 20, 2023 1. Freeboard — NC NRCS Standard 366 —Anaerobic Digester requires a minimum of 2 feet of freeboard in the covered digester. Please provide clarification that both digesters meet minimum freeboard requirements. "Provide a minimum of 2 feet of freeboard above the digester design water surface; if rainfall is included in determining the operating volume, only 1 foot of freeboard is required. The digester storage volume does not need to account for rainfall for completely covered digesters." Per the NRCS 366 Anerobic Digester standard rainfall was included in determining the operational volume of the digesters. The NOAA Atlas 14 30yr normal rainfall data for the area was used to determine the 25-year, 24-hour rainfall on the digester. With this data the operational volume for the digester designs at this site are based on 12- inches of structural freeboard plus 7-inches for the 25-year, 24-hour rainfall event to determine the 19-inches of freeboard for the digesters. This allows the proposed digester at farm Scott Farm site 2 top of dike and freeboard to be the same as the adjacent exiting lagoon. This allows equalization of the lagoons if necessary, during large storm events, which mitigates risk. 2. Stormwater Outlet — Please provide a typical detail for outlet for stormwater removed from digester covers. Please also indicate stormwater outlet location(s) for each digester. The stormwater removal outlet locations have been added to the site plan(s) and a detail of the outlet added to construction plan set. 3. Biogas Use as a Renewable Energy Resource —Please provide information for the intended onsite and/or offsite use of the biogas. Please include expected timeline regarding completion of digester system and utilization of gas as a renewable energy resource. The biogas produced at the site will be cleaned on -site to pipeline quality and transferred via pipeline to a natural gas pipeline insertion point off -site to be used as renewable natural gas. The anticipated digester completion is Q2 2024 with utilization of the gas in Q4 2024. 4. Gas Generation Estimate — Please submit an estimate for the daily volume of biogas to be generated by the proposed Digester. The estimated total annual RNG generated at this facility is 15,000 dekatherms. The annual average daily RNG produced from the digester would be +/-40 dekatherms (30 scfm) 5. Emergency Flare — Please provide location/identification for the emergency flare(s). An emergency vent/flare connection location has been located to the site plans and detail. The plan is to us a mobile/moveable "candle stick" flare that will be kept on - site for use on an as needed basis for digesters. 6. Slam Gate/Secondary Containment — Please indicate location of new slam gates/secondary containment associated with proposed digesters, if applicable. Per the site visit discussion, a secondary containment with valve has been added at the Farm 8529 digester adjacent to the level control station. • Page 3 December 20, 2023 7. Influent/Effluent Sampling — Please indicate location for sampling of influent to and effluent from each digester. At Scott Farm Site 2 the influent sample(s) will be taken from the gravity pipeline clean -out nearest the digester and the Effluent sample at the digester level control station. 8. Odor Control Checklist — The Odor Control Checklist was not included in the application. Please provide as a required component of the CAWMP. Please use the updated form, attached. See attached Swine Odor Control Checklist. 9. Insect Control Checklist —The Insect Control Checklist was not included in the application. Please provide as a required component of the CAWMP. See attached Swine Insect Control Checklist 10. Mortality Management Checklist — The Mortality Management Checklist was not included in the application. Please provide as a required component of the CAWMP. See attached Swine Mortality Management Checklist 11. Emergency Action Plan — The Emergency Action Plan was not included in the application. Please provide as a required component of the CAWMP. See attached Swine Emergency Action Plan 12. Sludge Survey — Please provide a copy of the most recent sludge survey for the existing lagoon Digesters. The proposed digester is a new digester that will have sludge transferred for seeding from the on -site lagoons. 13. Land application — Fields meet land application setback requirements. Please provide any information regarding additional BMPs (example hose -drag vs travelling gun) in these areas used to improve protections and further reduce risk of off -site impacts. The NUP has been updated to reflect the spray field changes and BMP's. 14. Air Quality Permitting — Please provide general information regarding any Air Quality permits, and/or applicability determinations regarding this project. Please provide information about if applications have been filed, permits (if issued), and/or results of an applicability determination.

PAGE ...................................3 ...................................3 ...................................3 1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION Smithfield Hog Production is proposing to construct one new digester and biogas collection system on this 357-acre farm. The farm is in north west Duplin County approximately 4 miles north of Warsaw, North Carolina. The site will continue to raise finisher pigs and will add the biogas collection portion to the existing system. The proposed project consists of a synthetic lined and synthetic covered lagoon; three existing lagoons will be utilized as waste storage ponds. Finishing animal manure will be collected into the new digester by a combination of gravity discharge where possible and lift stations where necessary. The new digester will include; a mixing station, a biogas conditioning skid, and buried biogas pipeline to transport the biogas to the cleaning station. The purpose of this narrative is to describe the digester RNG capture system that will be modified at this site in addition to the existing permitted anaerobic lagoons and spray field. 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION The Scott Farm is a Smithfield Hog Production/Murphy Farms, Inc. company owned finisher. It is permitted for 14,437 head wean to finish. The site currently consists of multiple finishing barns. The farm has 2 single stage anaerobic waste lagoon Systems with a shared secondary lagoon. The farm has been in some form of operation since 1991 with the majority of the operations built in the early 1990's. In 2008 sites 1-3 were combined into the current site 2 operations. 3.0 PLANNED SITE CONSTRUCTION 1. The main construction portion for this site will be constructing a new digester. The digester will receive waste from barns via a combination of gravity discharge and a new lift station to receive waste. Other construction activities will be lift stations for waste collection from barns, recycle water pump relocation to allow recycle water to be pumped from open top waste storage ponds to the barns that are flowing into the covered lagoons, gravity water return line to remove effluent water from the digester to the adjacent lagoon and store in the waste storage ponds and gas collection pipe network throughout the property. 2. There will be two lift station at each farm (as Applicable), a concrete tank buried sufficiently deep to allow discharge from the header pipes at the Farms. The lift stations will have one or two Manure Pumps. This lift stations will have the top of the lift station above the lowest buildings finished floor elevation. If the pumps do not control the water, the water would then seek level inside of the buildings using the pits as storage. No water would go over the top of the lift station before it was visible in the barns to the employees. Wastewater collected in the lift station is pumped through a 6"/8" DR 17 high density polyethylene (HDPE) force main into the digester. 3. The digester will be a synthetically lined earthen basin constructed from native soils and lined with 60-mil HDPE. There will be one digester in total on the site. The cover will be constructed from 80 mil HDPE and will be secured into an anchor trench at the top of the berm. The cover will have weighted pipes on top for ballast and to channel rainwater into manageable areas. The rainwater will be pumped off the cover into the adjoining fields. 4. All the waste from the buildings will be discharged under the covered lagoon/digester. A mixing pump will be installed at the digester. The pump will pull water from under the cover and discharge it back into the covered lagoon. If the pump does not turn on due to a failure, no wastewater can leave the system. The mixing system cycle time will be optimized to ensure distribution of feed stock to the anaerobic bacteria. 5. The liquid level of the digester will be maintained at an operating level of 21"-27" with 12" of structural freeboard by a 12" outlet pipe into a level control pump station. Water under the cover will use gravity to flow out of the 12" pipe into the pump station and gravity flow to an existing lagoon for storage. 6. The required waste treatment is now under one digester so the remaining existing lagoons will now run as waste storage ponds. The waste storage ponds will be used for secondary storage volume. In the event the covered lagoon digesters fail or other unforeseen catastrophic events occur, the waste storage ponds can revert to their originally permitted lagoon status. The CAWMP will manage the land application of nutrients stored in the waste storage pond. 7. Biogas will be collected under the 80 mil HDPE cover. To remove the gas there will be a perforated pipe at the top of the berm under the cover to provide a pathway for the gas. The pipe will be buried under the anchor trench and come out on the outside of the covered lagoon digester dike. The gas will be piped to the skid mounted biogas upgrading system. The on -farm biogas upgrading system removes moisture from raw biogas and cleans the gas to pipeline quality. The clean condensate will be pumped into the adjoining field or returned to the lagoon system. The clean dry biogas will now enter the on farm pipeline to be carried to the centralized gas compressor station. k / f u E E / n\ d q N § '\Nf -6& 0 ) a. \ \ \ § k / ) � E m 2 I ƒ E U § � ��\ � \ ® k E § g = _ - m - _ \5 /'w/ 9ƒf �< \w< k / ' / ƒ CL \ C) m \ ƒ § / � \ E x A / �m\� CL § ƒ a i� /f k \ 2 0< 5 / $ k 0 ƒ E § / 2 o ¢ 7 ■ 0E2g x 2± o /CLCL s�cn < 2 : LL _/ ° ƒ § k 2 R / / ® \n k c = q & 99 &�3k-A NNNMM �#& gggnrm ////////£co �a�IIƒIaCLa m g r g r r r g r n doaoaaaoaa RRRRRREEEE E E E E e E°° E B QUoo000UUU 000000 000 0 rrrrrrrrr@ 6000000066 =«<me=Im(D«« J0LL <kw w// \9$\\7\\0? o\to�m¥�n& - q q 2 � % 7.1i CD �� co N / _ 00 � L c ca (n a C� ocu L _ID a) O M Z 0 — O O Z a a M I- ti 00 O 00 CO M I,- (D M M CO CO N— 6) (0 CDM W— M CO (D CD CO O M 0 ti N Cn O O P .- M LO I,- LO — M O CO �'IT O I1- 'KT I- N O O 00 tf� 4 1 4 4 4 4 6 Nm CO In CO N M N CV 4 M 6 M M CO I_ 6 O CD CD O O r � O CvMj O O O O O N O CD O O O O O M O O O N O O O N CD O O M M M m M M W M 00 M co M M M W M M M M M M 00 00 M M M co co M C> M M M co co M M M M M M M Cl)co 00 m M Q M (n LO (n ([) (C) �[) to O Cn (n m M (O (n CCU m (n m to 0 LO � LO O O m m m m m m m m m m m m O m m m m m m m m m m m O O O O O O O O O O O O O O O Co O O O O O O O O O O O O O O (D (O (O CO (0 CO m CO (D CD CO (D CO CO CO (O (0 (O CD (D m CD (D CO (0 (D (D (D 00 Cb 00 M CO CO 00 a0 M 00 00 CD CO OD 00 OD M 00 OD co W 00 CO OO 00 W 00 CO Ln Ln Cf) � LCj Lf7 � � � Cn � CC) l(i In In Ln In LD lD lf') ID lC] lC) In (D (() CIi CCi M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M M (D (D (C) LO I- N O i,- O M 4 m 0 N O m 00 Cvmj co M 00 N_ CO Cn 'o N lh Cn M In 00 n (n V N V OD m O O m 0 f- I- 0) CO CO O m V (n (D Ih o0 N n co M m m co N M N (D f- NO G (C) 7� m (O C() N lC) V M O (D 't LO LO N _ to CC) (n V In O CD N (D Ut _ N O O O O O O N (O O (V O O O P ^ n 0 0 0 Cfl O N 1� V r ti r V N r 0 0 CC) ^ O m O n LO N N N N r- N r P- O r- N O N N ti (n N N N N ) N N N N N O N N N N N OO M ( MLO C) co 00 00 00 CO 00 (7 00 00 00 00 OD p co r 00 Cj co 00 CO O 00 00 f` M M M M M M M M (') MCOM Cl) M M M m M O O O O O O M O O O O O O O � O O O O O O M O 6 0 0 O O O O O M C0 Cl) M m Cl) (n V M V V V Cvj V M V' CCj �: V CCD (C) M M 0 0 0 0 Cl) (O M M M M M CD O O O m O M M M � M 4 V V V �O � M CO M M CM cM r M (O M Cyr) V V V Cl)yM V I.

No.: 31-5 County: Du lin Permit Capacity: Farrow to Wean Farrow to Feeder Farrow to Finish Wean to Feeder Wean to Finish 14,375 Feeder to Finish Gilts Boars Storage Structure: Storage Period: Application Method: 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 DWR 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 bermuda), 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 definitely 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.

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 Total/yr Farrow to Wean 0.8 Farrow to Feeder 0.96 Farrow to Finish 3.9 Wean to Feeder 0.07 14375 Wean to Finish 0.27 3881.25 Feeder to Finish 0.34 Gilts 0.39 Boars 0.55 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 3881.25 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year and 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 19406.25 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 64 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 155.25 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. Call 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. 5 of 11 Application Rate Guide The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 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. 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. 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). 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. 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). 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 surface is frozen. 9 of 11 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 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 shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient 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. 11 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 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 alternative 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 AWS310005 Scott Farm Foe.

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. 1. 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. e) 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) Slop 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.

The farm site includes gravity collection piping from the barns, an Anaerobic Digester (Digester), a Mixing Pump Station, a Biogas Conditioning System to remove moisture, an Emergency Vent, and a biogas transfer pipe leading to the Gas Upgrading System (GUS). The Digester at the farm site includes an HDPE membrane cover to capture the biogas generated by the anaerobic digestion process. The Digester is partially mixed by pumping and provides sufficient detention time to effectively reduce the volatile suspended solids in the waste by digestion. The reduction of volatile solids through microbial processes produces an energy -rich biogas, which is a valuable commodity. The Digester operates differently at certain temperature ranges. The Digester as installed is an ambient temperature Digester. There are no heating devices to control the temperature in the Digester, the depth of the Digester and the ground temperature will buffer the swing in temperature due to the outside climate. The expected gas production from the Digester will fluctuate with the seasons, methane production will almost stop when the temperature in the Digester drops below 50 degrees (F) and will peak in the summer months. There are two (2) types of solids found in hog waste: organic and inorganic. 1. The organic solids will break down and decompose by biochemical reduction. The bacteria that are grown and maintained in the system is harmless anaerobic and aerobic bacteria. Bound oxygen can be found in nitrates, a compound that results from the aeration process. These same bacteria are provided by nature and are found in streams, lakes, and in the soil to destroy dead plants and animals. The difference is that a Waste -to -Energy System treatment process has provided an ideal environment for a concentration of these bacteria to feed and grow; thus, the biological action is greatly accelerated. The hog waste is the food for the bacteria in the system. The Digester contains certain populations of bacteria that do not require the presence of oxygen. 2. The inorganic solids are "non -treatable," but they are normally present in such small quantities that they are considered insignificant in the treatment process. The loading rate of the Digester will not be strictly controlled. There is no change in the flush routine of the current farm operations; a continuous and consistent stream of hog waste is the best method available of loading the Digester. Total solids account for approximately 1% of the influent content, varying with the stocking density and the age of the animals. The Digester is constructed to be air -tight; the lack of oxygen will facilitate the growth of methanogenic bacteria. III. Operational Components of the Waste -to -Energy System Below are listed the major component operations. 1) Gravity Collection Pipe The gravity collection pipe receives the flushed waste from the hog barns and directs that waste to a lift station or directly into the Digester via gravity. During normal operation, the pipe should be free flowing, with no clogs, in order to transport the waste. The gravity collection pipe includes a series of cleanouts that provide access to the gravity collection pipe for removal of a clog or blockage. Waste -to -Energy System O&M Manual Original: 11/1/21 Page 4 of 11 2) Lift Station, where applicable The Lift Station receives waste from the gravity collection pipe and pumps that waste to the Digester via buried forced main. The waste enters the Digester at the opposite end of the Digester from the Level Control System (so "new" waste must flow through the curtain baffle system of the Digester, resulting in effective treatment of the waste). During normal operation, the Lift Station will run based on the liquid level in the pump tank, which is triggered by floats. The Lift Station will be inspected per procedure by the farm manager, or their designee, to ensure the pumps are operating to indicate proper flushing. The Lift Station is equipped with alarms. Reference the Smithfield Hog Production Lift Station Manual for proper operation and maintenance of the lift station. NOTE: Some farms do not have Lift Stations, rather than using a Lift Station, the waste flows from the hog barns to the Mixing Pump Station or flows directly into the Digester via gravity. 3) Anaerobic Digester (aka Digester) The Digester receives the wastes from the hog barns. The complex organic wastes are broken down to simpler compounds by the anaerobic digestion process. As a part of the anaerobic process, biogases (including methane, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide) are produced. These gases are captured by an impermeable cover and then directed to the Biogas Conditioning System. The gases are collected in perforated piping underneath the cover, which are connected to a main pipe that connects to the conditioning system. The waste is held for approximately 45 days to allow the biological process to complete. The sludge that settles at the bottom of the Digester will be periodically removed, based on the annual sludge survey. During normal operation, the Digester cover will likely be "inflated" like a balloon due to the biogas that's trapped beneath. The cover should be free of excessive accumulation of rainwater (no more than 10% of the top of the Digester should be covered by rainwater) and should not show signs of any damage or leaks. The presence of an unusual odor (rotten eggs), or wastewater on the cover may indicate that there is a leak. If such odors or wastewater are observed, the Environmental Emergency Contact Plan should be activated immediately. Temporary repairs should be followed with a permanent repair as soon as possible. Documented tracking of the repair process is required. (i.e., a work order). 4) Mixing Pump Station The Mixing Pump Station slowly mixes the waste that has been collected in the Digester, which provides for more efficient methane production than would be achievable without any mixing. During normal operation, the pumps will run at the same time for several hours per day to mix the waste in the Digester. The Mixing Pump Station is equipped with an audible and visual alarm. 5) Level Control Station, where applicable The Level Control Station receives treated waste from the Digester and conveys that waste to the Effluent Storage Pond. The gravity outlet of the Digester leads to the inlet of the Level Control Waste -to -Energy System O&M Manual Original: 11/1/21 Page 5 of 11 Station, and the invert is set at the freeboard of the Digester so that the Digester maintains a constant level. The staff gauge for indicating the liquid level of Digester is located in the wet well of the Level Control Station. The liquid level is visually inspected at least daily by farm personnel for unexplained changes. Any unexplained changes in liquid level of two or more inches, should initiate the Environmental Emergency Contact Plan. The Level Control Station is equipped with an audible and visual alarm. 6) Effluent Storage Pond The treated waste from the Digester flows from the Digester outlet pipe to the Effluent Storage Pond. The Effluent Storage Pond is used to store the treated effluent after anaerobic digestion. However, as this is a critical part of the integrated system, any abnormal operation of the Effluent Storage Pond observed by farm or LNM personnel, such as seepage and/or unexplained liquid level changes of two or more inches, should be documented and immediate corrective action taken. 7) Biogas Conditioning System The Biogas Conditioning System receives biogas from the Digester and removes moisture from the biogas by means of compression and heat exchangers. This system will be managed by a contractor, but the information is included in this O&M manual for reference. The biogas from the Digester is commonly at 100% relative humidity; the biogas is purported to be near 6% relative humidity after going through the Biogas Conditioning System. The biogas is moved through the biogas transfer pipe to the Gas Upgrading System (GUS) During normal operation, the conditioning system should run without any need for input from the contractor. The discharge pressure and flow rate can be manipulated by the contractor through adjustment of the pressure regulator on the bypass line and through adjustment of the variable frequency drive. As the conditioning system approaches this setpoint, it will automatically reduce compressor speed to seek a flowrate that matches the biogas production. If the vacuum pressure exceeds the setpoint, the conditioning system will shut down and trigger an alarm to the contractor via telemetry system. 8) Emergency Vent In times of need, such as failure of the biogas conveyance pipeline, the Emergency Vent is operated by trained personnel to consume excess accumulated biogas from the Digester. The Emergency Vent is not an automated system, and the trained operator must articulate the biogas piping control valving to direct biogas from the Digester to the Emergency Vent for release. 9) Transfer Pump, if applicable The Transfer Pump transfers accumulated effluent among available Effluent Storage Ponds to optimize storage. The Transfer Pumps are operated through use of a local disconnect. Under normal circumstances, the Transfer Pump will only be used as needed. Waste -to -Energy System O&M Manual Original: 11/1/21 Page 6 of 11 10) Rainwater Removal Pump A designated pump is located at each Digester site to remove accumulated rainwater from the cover of the Digester. In order for the Digester dike to not be jeopardized, the pump outlet should reach beyond the toe of the Digester dike. Rainwater should be pumped on to a grassy area, if possible. IV. General Maintenance Maintenance should be performed to evaluate the performance of the Waste -to -Energy System. A well -operated, properly adjusted, system will exhibit the following visible signs of proper maintenance: • All pipes should be intact and watertight. • The pumps appear to be operating properly (nearly silent with little to no vibrations) • The Digester cover should be free of excessive accumulation of rainwater • The Digester cover should be free of any tears, punctures, or failures • There should be no unusual odors (rotten eggs) coming from the Digester or Emergency Vents. • The Effluent Storage Pond should be structurally sound, free of floating debris, and within permitted liquid level For optimum system operation and maximum treatment efficiency, daily visual inspection of alarms, by production personnel, is necessary. In addition to the daily visual inspection, all mechanical equipment (Mixing Station pumps, Level Control pumps, Lift Station pumps, and Transfer Pumps) should be cleaned and lubricated as needed. At least quarterly mechanical equipment valves need to be performance tested. The maintenance for the mechanical equipment will be managed by the Regional Maintenance Department. V. Safety Reference Lagoon Safety Policy (SIPS 8.1) VI. Spill Prevention and Control Audible and visible alarms are present at the following controls stations: Mixing Pump Station, Lift Station, and Level Control Station. The alarms are tested for proper operation per design periodically by production personnel or the Land & Nutrient Management Department. The Environmental Emergency Contact Plan provides spill control instructions and contact information. Waste -to -Energy System O&M Manual Original: 11/1/21 Page 7 of 11 Appendix A — Responsibilities Farm Production Personnel 1. Organic Loading The normal operations of the farm site for the Digester includes animal waste, feed spilled in pit by animals, and water. The control of fresh water into the pit is important. Water leaks in the barn or malfunctioning nipples need to be repaired in a timely manner. Ensure there are not blockages in the flush lines that impede the flow of fresh waste to the Digester. 2. Hydraulic Loading During times of cleaning and disinfecting a barn, solutions with chlorinated compounds (bleach) or quaternary ammonium inhibit anaerobic digestion. Also, the common use of lime in the disinfecting process causes a disruption in alkalinity in the Digester that harm methane forming bacteria. 3. Digester Level Control A liquid level gauge will be located in the wet well at the Level Control Station. Daily the farm manager, or their designee will need to record liquid level of the Digester. If there is an unexplained level in the Digester of two or more inches, the Environmental Emergency Contact Plan will be activated. 4. Lift Station Maintenance, if applicable Periodic cleaning of the Lift Station is necessary to remove debris and maintain the free flow of wastewater to the Digester. The emergency alarm is tested per procedures. Refer to the Smithfield Hog Production Lift Station Manual. 5. Daily Inspections The farm manager or their designee will document daily the inspection of the following Waste -to -Energy components: • Gravity collection pipe cleanouts • Mixing Pump Station alarm • Digester liquid level • Level Control Station alarm • Lift Station • Waste Storage Pond liquid level 6. Emergency Response The farm manager, or their designee will immediately activate the Environmental Emergency Contact Plan posted on site, in the event of emergency alarm activation, unexplained liquid level change in Digester and/or Effluent Storage Pond or noticeable difference in normal operation of the Waste -to -Energy system components located on the farm site. Waste -to -Energy System O&M Manual Original: 11/1/21 Page 8 of 11 II. Land & Nutrient Management Personnel (LNM) 1. Digester Cover Waste Removal Any liquid on the Digester cover should be inspected to make sure it is clean and clear. If wastewater is detected on the cover, pump all water present on the cover back into the Level Control Station wet well or the Lift Station, and activate the Environmental Emergency Contact Plan. 2. Digester Cover Rainwater Removal Removal of rainwater from the Digester cover is necessary to help maintain cover integrity, and to help with the digestion process. (Reference Smithfield Hog Production Policy/Procedure #MB 031). Rainwater will be removed by a pump designated for the Digester. In order for the Digester dike to not be jeopardized, the pump outlet should reach beyond the Digester dike. Rainwater should be pumped on to a grassy area, if possible. 3. Weekly Inspections Document on the Weekly LNM Inspection: • Pumps/pipes into and out of Digester and waste storge pond • Digester cover integrity • Digester and waste storage pond dike integrity • Digester cover inflation • Rainwater accumulation on Digester cover 4. Effluent Storage Pond • Record the liquid level weekly 5. Transfer Pump • Operate the Transfer Pump as needed 6. General Maintenance • Keep area around Digester mowed. Mowing activity must be regimented around the Digester cover to guard against propelling debris towards the cover. • Check the Digester cover after a rain event, and pump off excess rainwater, if necessary. • Monitor liquid level in Digester, per design. Use the staff gauge located in Level Control Station wet well to assess levels. • Inspect Level Control Station for proper operation, visually check for blockages. • Inspect waste outlet pipes from the Digester to the Effluent Storage Pond at least weekly for leaks. • Check Mixing Pump Station and Level Control Station alarms at least weekly for properly operation as designed. 7. Emergency Response • Activate the Environmental Emergency Contact Plan if there is an unexplained change in cover inflation level. • Maintain emergency contacts for the Waste -to -Energy System components located on the farm site.
