RE: Allen Brother's CAFO Permit Renewal, Permit No.09-0017 0 OaBbJ
Recommended Termination of Groundwater Monitoring
There are currently three monitoring wells associated with the Allen Brother's CAFO permit that are being
sampled on a regular basis.
It is my understanding that:
• The monitoring wells were required by the state because nitrates were detected in a residential
supply well, located near the farm, above the 2L standards,
• The residential well was sampled as part of an odor complaint, which was ironically made before
the farm was even populated with hogs (the odor complaints began when construction of the
swine operation began),
• The residential supply well was not constructed to 2C standards as it was not grouted, and was
located approximately 20-feet from the residential septic tank(location of the tank was confirmed
when the Allen Brothers helped pull the residence's International Farm-All tractor out of it),
• The tract of land the monitoring wells were installed on was previously used to dispose of sewage
associated with a septic tank cleaning service operated by the party living in the residence at the
time the initial sampling was conducted (plastic sanitary products can still be seen),
• The tract of land the monitoring wells were installed on has been in continuous cultivation for
decades utilizing conventional fertilizers,
• The residence and church is no longer using supply wells and are on county water,and
• The nutrient signature of the groundwater does not match that associated with swine waste.
Based on these conditions, I am recommending we discontinue the monitoring program. I have provided
the following discussion to support my recommendation.
Analytical Data
Nitrates have been detected at this site at concentrations that are typical of the shallow groundwater in
southeastern North Carolina (NC), an area characterized by over 300 years of modern agricultural
operations. Generally speaking,the concentrations of nitrate detected in the monitoring wells range from
10 to 20 ppm,which is typical for shallow groundwater monitoring wells throughout the agricultural areas
of eastern NC. The nutrient signature of the nitrogen being detected at this site (i.e., primarily just
nitrate/nitrite and practically no organic nitrogen or ammonia) is also typical for shallow groundwater
monitoring wells throughout the agricultural areas of eastern NC.

To evaluate the complete signature of the nutrients at this site, the wells were sampled and submitted
for laboratory analysis for:
• Total Kieldahl Nitrogen (TKN),
• Ammonia,
• Nitrate/Nitrite,and
• Phosphorous.
As usual, nitrates/nitrites were detected in the three wells in the typical range of 10-20 ppm, and both
ammonia and phosphorous were not detected. Trace amounts of organic nitrogen was detected in two
of the three wells,which may be related to the 100—inches of precipitation the area received in 2018. In
response to the high amount of precipitation the area has received, the ground water elevations are
approximately 4 to 5 feet higher than usual.
To evaluate the complete nutrient profile of swine waste and ground water at this site, analytical data
from the onsite monitoring wells and from some recent investigations DWR has conducted in the area
involving swine waste were summarized on Table 1. The absence of organic nitrogen and ammonia
suggests the nitrates being detected at this site are remnants from an aged, mature waste where all of
the organic nitrogen has had sufficient time to mineralize, or they are the remnants of commercial
fertilizer. This is not characteristic of the swine waste currently being applied to the spray fields in this
area. Swine waste is characterized by a significant amount of organic nitrogen and ammonia with only
minimal amounts of mineralized nitrogen. The analytical data suggests the ratio of ammonia is 10's and
100's of parts to each part of nitrate/nitrite in a swine waste. However, there is only trace amounts of
organic nitrogen and no ammonia associated with the nitrate/nitrite being detected at this site.
Timing
It is my understanding that an elevated nitrate concentration was detected in the residential supply well
when the spray field was initially permitted and around the time it became operational. Generally
speaking,it takes time forthe nitrogen to not only completely mineralize,but also saturate the soil column
and migrate approximately 585 feet from the spray field.
For agronomic purposes, organic nitrogen fertilization rates are calculated with the understanding that
the bulk of mineralization of organic nitrogen occurs over a period of two years,with trace amounts being
present the third year. If the nitrates being detected in the monitoring wells is associated with the swine
waste,there would be a significant amount of organic nitrogen and ammonia present too.If the argument
is made that the seepage velocity is so low,that by the time the nutrients reach the monitoring wells that
it is over three years old, then one has to ask how did the nitrates, and only the nitrates, get to the
residential well so fast? It is my understanding that nitrates were detected in the residential well at the
beginning of the operation, not 3 years later.
The tops of the monitoring wells were measured relative to each other, and were used to construct a
ground water flow map to determine the groundwater flow direction. The ground water flows northwest
towards Crawley Swamp. The former residential supply well was located approximately 585 feet north of
the spray field.MW-1 is located approximately 460-feet northeast of the spray field, which is cross-
gradient from the spray field.

Calculating Plant-Available Nitrogen and
Residual Nitrogen Fertilizer value in Manure
Division of Plant Sciences and Commercial Agriculture Program
Manure typically is used as a fertilizer for crop
production.This guide details the calculations needed
to determine the fertilizer nitrogen value of manure,
termed "plant-available nitrogen" (PAN). The guide
also details"residual nitrogen fertilizer value"(RNFV),
which is a method used to determine the amount of
nitrogen released by manure in the year after applica-
tion.There are also examples of incorporating an esti-
mate of plant-available nitrogen and residual nitrogen
value into a manure application recommendation for
a crop.

Example 1
A manure test for poultry litter(solid manure)has the following results:
Moisture content(%) 26.3
Total nitrogen (%) 3.41
Organic nitrogen(%) 2.97
Elemental P(%) 2.04
Elemental K(%) 2.10
All results were reported on a dry matter basis.
Step 1:Convert all nutrient values to"as-is"basis(use Table 5).
Total N(%,as-is basis)=3.41 x (100-26.3)/100=2.51
Organic N(%,as-is basis)=2.97 x (100-26.3)/100=2.19
Elemental P(%,as-is basis)=2.04 x (100-26.3)/100=1.50
Elemental K(%,as-is basis)=2.10 x (100-26.3)/100=1.55
Step 2:Convert P to P205 and K to K20(use Table 6).
P205(%,as-is basis)=1.50 x 2.27=3.41
K20(%,as-is basis)=1.55 x 1.22=1.89
Step 3:Convert to the preferred units(pounds per ton for solid manure,use Table 7).
Total N(lb/ton)=2.51 (%,as-is basis) x 20=50
Organic N (lb/ton)=2.19(%,as-is basis) x 20=44
P205(lb/ton)=3.41 (%,as-is basis) x 20=68
K20(lb/ton)=1.89 (%,as-is basis) x 20=38
Example 2
A manure sample for hog lagoon effluent(liquid manure)has the following results:
Dry matter(%) 0.5
Total N (lb/acre-inches) 175
Organic N(lb/acre-inches) 40
Phosphate(lb/acre-inches) 35
Potash (lb/acre-inches) 200
All results are on a wet basis.
Step 1:Convert all nutrient values to"as-is"basis(use Table 5).
All results are already on an"as-is"(wet)basis.No conversion needed.
Step 2:Convert P to P205 and K to K20(use Table 6).
Results are already reported as P205(phosphate)and K20(potash).No conversion needed.
Step 3:Convert to the preferred units(pounds per 1000 gal.for liquid manure,use Table 7).
Total N (lb/1000 gal)=175(lb/acre-in,as-is basis)/27.15=6.45
Organic N(lb/1000 gal)=40(lb/acre-in,as-is basis)/27.15=1.47
P205(lb/1000 gal)=35(lb/acre-in,as-is basis)/27.15=1.29
K20(lb/1000 gal)=200(lb/acre-in,as-is basis)/27.15=7.37

Manure test results frequently do not directly
report ammonium concentration in the manure. Use
Equation 2 to calculate ammonium nitrogen content in
manure.
Example 3
Poultry litter(analysis in Example 1)is to be surface applied with a solid spreader to pasture.
Step 1:Calculate ammonium N concentration in the manure.
From Example 1,total N is 50 lb/ton and organic N is 44 lb/ton.Ammonium nitrogen was not reported.Using.
Equation 2:
Ammonium N(lb/ton)=50 lb Total N/ton—44 lb Organic N/ton=6
Step 2:Determine the appropriate manure availability factors needed to calculate PAN.
From Table 1 kt Y1)for poultry manure is 0.62.From Table 2 k2(NH4)is 0.50 for surface-applied manure that is
not incorporated.
Step 3:Calculate PAN using Equation 1 as your guide.
PAN(lb/ton)=Organic N(lb/ton) x 0.62+Ammonium N(lb/ton) x 0.50
=44(lb/ton) x 0.62+6(lb/ton) x 0.50=30
Example 4
Lagoon effluent from a hog operation(analysis in Example 2)is to be injected into a corn crop with a tractor-
pulled tanker.
Step 1:Calculate ammonium N concentration in the manure.
From Example 1,total N is 6.45 Ib/1000 gallons and organic N is 1.47 Ib/1000 gallons.Ammonium nitrogen was
not reported.Using Equation 2:
Ammonium N(lb/1000 gal)=6.45 lb Total N/1000 gallons—1.47 lb Organic N/1000 gallons=4.97
Step 2:Determine the appropriate manure availability factors needed to calculate PAN.
From Table 1 kt(Yi).for liquid hog manure is 0.39.From Table 2 k2(NH4)is 0.95 for injected manure.
Step 3:Calculate PAN using Equation 1 as your guide.
PAN(lb/1000 gal)=Organic N (lb/ton) x 0.39+Ammonium N(lb/1000 gal) x 0.95
=1.47(lb/ton) x 0.39+4.97(lb/1000 gal)x 0.95=5.30

4. Calculating residual nitrogen factor(RNFV)
Residual nitrogen fertilizer value (RNF) is the Equation 3
fraction of organic nitrogen in the manure that will
become available the year after manure application. RNFV=organic N x kkt(v2)
Only organic nitrogen has residual value in year two
after application.
Example 5
Calculate the RNFV of poultry litter applied to the pasture(manure analysis from Example 1).
From Table 1,kkt(Y2)=0.13.
RNFV=organic N x kkl(Y2)
=44 lb/ton x 0.13=6 lb N/ton
This is the estimated amount of nitrogen that will be released from the poultry litter in the second year after
application.
Example 6
Calculate the RNFV of lagoon effluent applied to cornfield(manure analysis from Example 2).
From Table 1,kkt(Y2)=0.23.
RNFV=organic N x kkl(Y2)
=1.47 Ib/1000 gallons x 0.23=0.34 lb N/1000 gallons
This is the estimated amount of nitrogen that will be released from the lagoon effluent in the second year after
application.

manure application rate based on a target nitrogen released in the second year after manure application.
Example 7
The target application rate is 60 pounds per acre for a fall surface application on pasture.
From Example 3,PAN=30 lb/ton.
Manure rate=Target N rate/PAN
=60 lb/acre/30 lb/ton=2 tons/acre
From Example 1,phosphate in manure=68 lb/ton and potash in manure=38 lb/ton.
Phosphate applied=Manure rate x phosphate in manure
=2 tons/acre x 68 lb/ton=136 lb/acre
Potash.applied=Manure rate x potash in manure
2 tons/acre x 38 lb/ton=76 lb/acre
From Example 5,RNFV=6 lb N/ton
Residual nitrogen=Manure rate x RFNV
=2tons/acre x 6 lb N/ton=12 lb N/acre
Example 8
The target application rate is 150 pounds per acre for a lagoon effluent injected ahead of a corn crop.
From Example 4,PAN=5.30 Ib/1000 gallons.
Manure rate=Target N rate/PAN
=150 lb/acre!5.30 Ib/1000 gallons=28.3 thousand gallons/acre
From Example 2,phosphate in manure=1.29 lb/1000 gallons and potash in manure=7.37 Ib/1060 gallons.
Phosphate applied=Manure rate x phosphate in manure
=28.3 thousand gallons/acre x 1.29 Ib/1000 gallons
=36 lb/acre
Potash applied=Manure rate x potash in manure
=28.3 thousand gallons/acre x 7.37 Ib/1000 gallons
=209 lb/acre
From Example 6,RNFV=0.34 lb W1000 gallons
Residual nitrogen=Manure rate X RFNV
=28.3 thousand gallons/acre x 0.34 lb N/ton=10 lb N/acre

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of
cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown,their nutrient requirements,
and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or
other by-products,commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in
order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is
included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate ofthe number of days of storage
-- capacity available at the end of each month of the plan. Available storage capacity is calculated as the
design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start
date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in
the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero.
Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design
storage capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage
capacity,this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated.
If available storage capacity is negative,the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design
storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval
in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate ofthe number of acres needed for
sludge utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen
concentrations for each source,the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application
rates shown in the second column.
Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At
clean out,this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases,the
priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous,copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since
nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied.
Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally,effluent spray fields should not be
used for sludge application. If this is not possible,care should betaken not to load effluent application fields with
high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water
moving to streams and lakes,phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also
be a concern.

The following crop note applies to field(s):3B,4B
Cereal/Annual Rye Overseeded—Grazed
CEREAL RYE
The cereal rye should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth. The
most consistent stands are obtained from drilling rye into short(less than 3 inches tall)bermudagrass sod.
If drilling is not possible,the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light
cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be
1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda
prior to August 3 L An application of 501bs/acre of Plant Available N(PAN)may be applied.between
September 15 and October 30. An additional 50 lbs.acre of PAN may be applied in February-March. If
rye growth is harvested on time and does not significantly shade the bermuda,PAN rates for the
subsequent bermuda crop are based on realistic yields of bermuda. A harvest is required prior to heading
or April 7,which ever comes first. This is necessary to minimize the potential for shading bermuda and
reducing its yields. The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded with cereal rye must be
reduced by 25%.
ANNUAL RYEGRASS
Annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth.
The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short(less than 3 inches tall)
bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible,the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed
by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds
should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the
bermuda prior to August 31. An application of 50 lbs/acre of PAN may be applied between September
15 and October 30. An additional 50 lbs.acre of PAN may be applied in February-March. If additional
PAN is applied to the ryegrass in April-May,the PAN rate for the bermuda must be reduced by a
corresponding amount. This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April-May will reduce
bermuda yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is required by heading or
April 7,which ever comes first to prevent shading of emerging bermuda during April-May period. To
favor the production of the bermuda,additional harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass
canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height. The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded with
annual ryegrass must be reduced by 25%.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
1. 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 that 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 Management Plan when there is a change in the
operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application,
receiving 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, MRCS Field
Office Technical Guide Standard 393 -Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by 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).
-------- -- ---------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------
697694 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed:8/23/2007 Specification Page I

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.
S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall
events, or when the soil surface is frozen.
9. 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 that 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.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
697694 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 8/23/2007 Specification Page 2

15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways,
or wetlands by a 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.
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.
---------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
697694 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 8/23/2007 Specification Page 3

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
soils 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 he 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 five
(5)years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your
operation are leaking, overflowing, or retuning off the 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.
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may
or may not be possible. Suggested responses to problems are
listed below:
A. Lagoon overflow-possible solutions are:
a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam, any
permanent alteration of the dam should be approved by a
qualified technical specialist.
b. Frump wastes to field at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all additional flow to the lagoon-hold waste in the
house if possible.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B. Runoff from waste application field-action include:
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the
waste.
c. Incorporate waste to reduce further runoff.
d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason (s) that caused 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 (flushing system) pump.
b. St o p irrigation pump.
c. Close, valves to eliminate further, discharge.
e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
D. Leakage from flush system, houses, solids separators-actions
include:
a. Stop recycle (flushing system) pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Make sure no siphon effect has been created.
d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid
separators.
e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.

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 to catch all seepage, put in a
submersible pumps and pump back into 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
wails and the lagoon bottom as soon as possible.
2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a. Did the waste reach any surface waters?
b. Approximately how much was released and for what
duration?
c. Any damage noted, 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 of
the property) ?
h. How much reached surface waters?
3. Contact appropriate agencies.
a. During normal business hours, call your DWQ (Division of
Water Quality) regional office, at 910-486-1541, after
hours, emergency number:919-733-3942. Your phone call

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE FLAN
------------------------------
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) with
min . odor control . The time required for the planned fluid level to be
reached (permanent + temporary storage) may vary due to soil conditions
flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system.
The designed 6 months temporary storage is an estimated volume
based on: 1) waste from animals; 2) excess rainfall after evaporation;
and 31) the largest y4 hoar (one day) rainfall that occurs on the
average of once every 25 years. The volume of waste generated from
a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year
and from year to year. This estimate is based on 7 inches of excess
rainfall which is equal to or exceeds the highest 6 months excess in
a year. The average annual excess rainfall is approximately 8 inches.
Therefore, an average of 8 inches of excess rainfall will need to be
pumped each year.' The '25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider
in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be
available. A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin
pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from:
b„ild.ing(s) . If the outlet pipe is not installed on the elevation to
begin pumping, a permanent marker mast be installed on this elevation
to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established
to stop pumping to maintain minimum treatment depth (6 feet) .
Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two
elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as
weather, soils, crop, and equipment ' in order to apply waste without
runoff or leaching.
Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable
method of disposal . Methods of application include solid set,
center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be
taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
i . It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre-
charged to 1/23 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during
start-up. Pre-charging reduces the concentration of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids shOUld be
covered with effluent at all times.. When precharging is complete:
flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not
be used for flushing after initial filling .
2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment)
before land application .
Begin pump-out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva-
tion 49.3 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump-out when
the fluid level reaches elevation 47.4 or before the fluid depth is
less than 6 feet deep ( this prevents the loss of favorable
bacteria) . The design temporary storage, less 25 year storm
is 70318 cubic feet or 525980 gallons. As stated before, this
volume will vary considerably from year to year.

4% ` The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is
` one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.::
inch per hour-.
5. ,.eep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the
lagoon mowed annually. vegetation should be fertilized as needed
to maintain a vigorous stand.
6. Repair- any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
establish in vegetation .
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted front the lagoon to stable
outlets.
S. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around
waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will
not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a
residence or within 00 feet of a well .
9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of
pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ-
mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

System Calibration
Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation conditions with
relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates change over time as equipment
gets older and components wear. In particular,pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure
and flow. With continued use,nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which
will increase the discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter.
You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the design will alter
the application rate,diameter of coverage, and subsequently the application uniformity. For
example, operating the system with excessive pressure results in smaller droplets, greater
potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result
in pressure increase. Plugged intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating
pressure. Operating below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and
application uniformity.
For the above reason,you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to-ensure proper
application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every three years is recommended.
Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at several locations in the application area.
Any number of containers can be used to collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain
gauges work best because they already have a graduated scale from which to read the
application amount without having to perform additional calculations. However,pans,plastic
buckets,jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used provided the
liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring.
For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly throughout the
application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling guns, sprinklers should be
located along a transect perpendicular to the direction of pull Set out collection containers 25
feet apart along the transect on both sides of the gun cart. You should compute the average
application rate for all nonunifornuty of the application. On a windless day,variation between
containers of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation
dealer or technical specialist for assistance.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority. 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 hermudagrass or when there are extended rainy spells such as
the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means that at the first signs ofplant growth in
the later winterlearly spring,irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be
done whenever the land is dry enough to receive lagoon.liquid. This will make storage space
available in the lagoon for fixture wet periods. In the late summerlearly fall the lagoon should be
pumped down to the low marker to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to
maintain 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 room 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.
LAGOON 1VI kMITNANCE
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
✓ Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam. Fescue or common bermudagrass are the
most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year,if needed,
to maintain a vigorous stand The amount of fertilizer 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 least monthly and after major rainfall and storm.events. Items to be checked should
include, as a minimum,the following:
✓ Waste Inlet Pipes,Recycling Pipes,and Overflow Pipes---look for:
1 . separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4. overall condition of pipes
✓ Lagoon surface---look for:
1. undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
✓ Embankment---look for:
1. 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
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong winds.
These waves can erode the lagoon side walls,thereby weakening the lagoon dam. A good stand
of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If wave action causes
serious damage to a lagoon side wall,bales 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 may 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 an appropriate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps--- check for proper operation of
1 . recycling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check for leaks,loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding noise,
or a large amount of vibration,may indicate that the pump is in need or 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,if your 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 rung roof drainage,gutter outlets, and parking lot runoff away
from your lagoon and other waste treatment or storage structures. The only water
that should be coming into your lagoon is 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:
1. adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3. ridge berm height
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
sohitions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then record the
level again 4 to 6 hours after the ram(assumes there is no pumping). 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. If your lagoon rises excessively,you may have an inflow problem from a surface water
diversion or there may be seepage into the lagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoon Operation
Startup:
1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil surfaces
to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon 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. If the pH falls below 7.0, add
agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid volume
untd 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 signals inadequate biological
activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended if these
conditions occur for prolonged 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
treatment. Pit recharge systems,in which one or more buildings are drained and 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.
A finimize 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 liquid lever(Figure 2- 1).
✓ 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 embankment.

✓ Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that 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 end 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 ofthe 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 a pollutant discharge.
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, or
• 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 onto cropland or
forage land; and sod incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forage land;
dredge sludge from lagoon with drag line or sludge barge;berm an area beside lagoon to
receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back into lagoon;allow sludge to dewater;haul
and spread with manure spreader onto cropland or forage land;and soil incorporate.
Regardless of the method,you crust 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 stop the activity
immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be removed without liner injury.
Ifthe 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. Note that if
the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil-test phosphorus,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 levels---high levels are a safety risk.

Failure to inspect and maintain the dam.
Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon.
Liner integrity---protect 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.

Dear Mr.Ravella;
In accordance with 15A NCAC 2L .0106(g)(2),the hazard associated with the former supply well
has been mitigated, validating the agricultural exemption specified in 15A NCAC 2L (c).
Therefore, the groundwater monitoring program at this facility should be terminated. Please
remove the ground water monitoring requirement specified in the referenced permit. The
Fayetteville Regional Office (FRO) will remove the condition in BIMS such that it will not
continue to expect ground water data, and FRO will also issue a letter to the permittee instructing
them to terminate the ground water monitoring activities associated with the permit, and abandon
the monitoring wells in accordance with 15A NCAC 2C .0113. Mr.Kent White with the FRO will
supervise the well abandonment activities.
If you have any questions or need additional information,please call me at(910)433-3336 or Mr.

Good afternoon Ramesh-
As we discussed in our meeting regarding the Allen Brothers site, I have mailed you the following:
-maps indicating surface water flow direction relative to the site,
-a signed letter from Trent stating the ground water monitoring program should be terminated and removed from the
permit(with copies to Christine Lawson and rick Bolich),and
-a copy of the signed letter to the permittee telling them to terminate the ground water monitoring and abandon the
monitoring wells.
Let me know if you need anything else from me or Trent.

MEMORANDUM
To: Christine Lawson &Ramesh Ravella
Cc: Trent Allen, Mark Brantley and Steve Guyton
From: Kent White
Date: January 14, 2020
RE: Allen Brother's CAFO Permit Renewal, Permit No.09-0017
Recommended Termination of Groundwater Monitoring
There are currently three monitoring wells associated with the Allen Brother's CAFO permit that are being
sampled on a regular basis.
It is my understanding that:
• The residential well was sampled as part of a complaint regarding a swine operation,
• The monitoring wells were required by the state because nitrates were detected in a residential
supply well, located near the farm, above the 2L standards, and
• Construction of the supply well was not investigated, and
• According to BIMS, the monitoring wells have been monitored since 2004 (approximately 16
years).
We were contacted by Allen Brothers to determine whether the monitoring could be discontinued.
Therefore, Steve Guyton and I went to the site to investigate the situation. According to our limited
investigation:
• The residential supply well was not constructed to 2C standards as it was not grouted, and was
located approximately 20-feet from the residential septic tank(location of the tank was confirmed
when the Allen Brothers helped pull the residence's International "Farm-All"tractor out of it),
• The tract of land the monitoring wells were installed on has been in continuous cultivation for
decades utilizing conventional fertilizers, and is exempt from complying with 2L ground water
standards(15A NCAC 02L.0106(c))since it is an agricultural operation,
• The residence and church is no longer using supply wells and are on county water, and
• The nutrient signature of the groundwater does not match that associated with swine waste.
Based on these conditions, I am recommending we discontinue the monitoring program. I have provided
the following discussion to support my recommendation.

representative of the nutrients associated with a swine operation. Placement of the existing monitoring
wells produce data associated with nutrient loading from row crop farming,which is exempt from 2L.
Based on the following, I recommend terminating the ground water monitoring:
• Receptors were not observed (the residence and the church are both on county water),
• The monitoring wells are located such they are monitoring the nutrients from the a row crop
operation, not the permitted swine operation,
• The nutrient signature is typical of row crop operations,,not swine operations, and
• The tract of land being monitored is exempt from 2L compliance.
