Dear Mr. Morgan:
In accordance with your permit renewal request received April 13, 2015, we are forwarding
herewith Permit No. WQ0005681 dated August 27, 2015, to Pilgrim's Pride Corporation for the
continued operation of the subject wastewater treatment and irrigation facilities. Please note that this
renewed permit shall become effective on November 1, 2015 (i.e. the day after the expiration date of the
existing permit).
The modifications to the subject permit are as follows: The wetted area listed on Attachment B
has been refined to more accurately reflect the actual wetted area of 6.27 acres. Effluent sampling has
been expanded to include Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen, Nitrate Nitrogen, and Total Residual Chlorine. The
groundwater monitoring parameters of pH (PCS Code 00403) has been changed to pH (PCS Code
00400), and Volatile Compounds have been removed from; the list of groundwater monitoring parameters
because they have not been historically detected.

L Annual monitoring shall be conducted every November.
2. The measurement of water levels shall be made prior to purging the wells. The depth to water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on the top of the casing. The measurement
of pH shall be made after purging and prior to sampling for the remaining parameters.
3. The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to provide the relative elevation of the measuring point for each monitoring well. The measuring points (top
of casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed relative to a common datum.
4. If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mglL are detected in any downgradient monitoring well, additional sampling and analysis must be conducted to identify the individual constituents
comprising this TOC concentration. If the TOC concentration as measured in the background monitor well exceeds 10 mglL, this concentration will be taken to represent the naturally occurring
TOC concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring TOC concentration in the downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling and analysis as described above.
5. Monitoring wells shall be reported consistent with the nomenclature and location information provided in Figure 2 and this attachment.
