SPRAY IRRIGATION SYSTEM PERMIT
In accordance with the provisions of Article 21 of Chapter 143, General Statutes of North Carolina as amended, and
other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
Dail Brothers
Duplin County
FOR THE
continued operation and maintenance of a spray irrigation treatment and disposal facility program for the spray
irrigation of up to 2,200 gallons per day (GPD) of wastewater generated from livestock trailer wash activities,
conducted at the Dail Brothers trailer wash facility, consisting of: one-544,290-gallon clay -lined lagoon; one -spray
irrigation pump; one-2.80 acre (solid -set) spray irrigation field, and all associated valves, piping, and appurtenances to
serve the Dail Brothers' Livestock Trailer Washout Facility (with a maximum service volume of up to eight livestock
trailers per day), with no discharge of wastes to the surface waters, pursuant to the renewal request, received -
September 28, 2001; and in conformity with the project plan, specifications, and other supporting data subsequently
filed and approved by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance, until November 30, 2006, shall void Permit No.
WQ0012521, issued October 9, 1996, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. Within 90 days of permit re -issuance, the Permittee is fully responsible for properly abandoning and
sealing the water supply well located to the east of Sprayfield Plot 1B (as indicated on Attachment A),
near the "tenant house." The proper abandonment procedure shall be in accordance with 15A NCAC 2C
.0113. Upon completion of all well abandonment activities, a certification must be received from a
professional engineer certifying that the wells are properly abandoned in accordance with current
regulations. Mail three copies of this certification, and any associated documentation to the Permits and
Compliance Unit, Groundwater Section, 1636 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC, 27699-1636.
2. The spray irrigation facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times so that there is no
discharge to the surface waters, nor any contamination of ground waters which will render them
unsatisfactory for normal use. In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the
creation of nuisance conditions or failure of the irrigation area to adequately assirnilate the wastewater, the
Permittee shall take immediate corrective actions including those actions that may be required by the
Division of Water Quality (Division), such as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater
treatment and disposal facilities.
3. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages to surface or
groundwaters resulting from the operation of this facility.
4. The residuals generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed in accordance with North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the Division.
5. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is prohibited.
6. The following buffers shall be maintained:
a) 400 feet between wetted area and any residence or places of public assembly under separate
ownership,
b) 150 feet between wetted area and property lines,
c) 100 feet between wetted area and wells,
d) 100 feet between wetted area and drainageways or surface water bodies,
e) 50 feet between wetted area and public right of ways,
f) 100 feet between wastewater treatment units and wells, and
g) 50 feet between wastewater treatment units and property lines.
Some of the buffers specified above may not have been included in previous permits for this waste
treatment and disposal system. These buffers are not intended to prohibit or prevent modifications, which
are required by the Division, to improve performance of the existing treatment facility. These buffers do,
however, apply to modifications of the treatment and disposal facilities which are for the purpose of
increasing the flow that is tributary to the facility. These buffers do apply to any expansion or
modification of the spray irrigation areas and apply in instances in which the sale of property would cause
any of the buffers now complied with, for the treatment and disposal facilities, to be violated. The
applicant is advised that any modifications to the existing facilities will require a permit modification.
Il. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. Upon classification of the facility by the Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification
Commission (WPCSOCC), the Permittee shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator to
be in responsible charge (ORC) of the wastewater treatment facilities. The operator must hold a certificate
of the type and grade at least equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the wastewater
treatment facilities by the WPCSOCC. The Permittee must also employ a certified back-up operator of the
appropriate type and grade to comply with the conditions of 15A NCAC SG .0202. The ORC of the
facility must visit each Class I facility at least weekly and each Class H, III, and IV facility at least daily,
excluding weekends and holidays, and must properly manage and document daily operation and
maintenance of the facility and must comply with all other conditions of 15A NCAC SG .0202. Once the
facility is classified, the Permittee must submit a letter to the WPCSOCC which designates the operator in
responsible charge within 30 days after the wastewater treatment facilities are 50 percent complete.
3_ Irrigation shall not be performed during inclement weather or when the ground is in a condition that will
cause runoff.
4. Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent wastewater runoff from the spray field.
The facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent the
discharge of any wastewater resulting from the operation of this facility.
6. A suitable year round vegetative cover shall be maintained. Required maintenance shall include the timely
harvest, and immediate off -site removal of the harvested product.
7_ The application rate shall not exceed a cumulative loading of 11.40 inches over any 12-month period, at an
instantaneous application rate of up to 0.22 inches per hour. At no time, shall the instantaneous applicatic
rate (inches applied per hour-IPH) result in surface run-off conditions. Nor shall the instantaneou i
application rate (IPH) result in ponded wastewater conditions.
Prior to applying spray irrigation effluent to the permitted spray application sites (see Condition VI. 4.)
that have previously received, or are intended to receive animal waste (e.g., poultry litter, hog lagoon
effluent, manure solids, etc.) in the future, the Permittee shall obtain information pertaining to the volume
and analysis of the applied waste. The Permittee shall be responsible for verifying the volume of spray
irrigation effluent that may be land applied to the site such that the plant available nitrogen (PAN) loading
rate for the specified crop (see Condition H. 9.) is not exceeded by ALL sources of PAN applied. Should
the maximum PAN loading rate be met, then no additional spray irrigation effluent shall be applied to the
site for the remainder of the cropping season_
9. The following North Carolina Division of Agriculture (NCDA) recommended application rates of Plant
Available Nitrogen (PAN) shall not be exceeded for any of the given specified crops, below. At any time,
the Permittee may submit a Waste Utilization Plan (which includes PAN application to Site ]A and Site
1B) to the Division for acknowledgement and approval, in order to adjust PAN to reflect site -specific
conditions.

If the either approved Site 1A or Site 1B are in a Bermuda Grass (Hay) -Small Grain overseed rotation,
then the small grain crop shall receive an application of PAN at a rate of no greater than 50 pounds
PAN/acre/year. This practice will be allowed as long as the small grain is to be harvested. If the small
grain is to be planted for erosion control only, and is to be tilled into the soil, then no wastewater effluent
shall be applied to the small grain crop, since additional PAN applied to this crop, will not be removed
(harvested) from the soil.
10. No type of wastewater, other than that from the Dail.Brothers Livestock Trailer Washout Facility, shall be
sprayed onto the irrigation area.
H. Domestic wastewater sources (for example: Toilet flush water, or human septage pump -out, etc.) are
prohibited from entering the Livestock Trailer Washout FaciIity's treatment lagoon; and prohibited from
being applied via spray irrigation effluent to the designated irrigation field. Under no circumstances shall
the Permittee allow domestic wastewater to enter the Livestock Trailer Washout Facility's treatment or
spray irrigation system.
12. No traffic or equipment shall be allowed on the disposal area except while installation occurs or while
normal maintenance is being performed. Extreme care should be taken by Permittee to avoid causing
excessive soil compaction conditions during routine maintenance of the spray application area.
13. Public access to the land application sites shall be controlled during active site use. Such controls may
include the posting of signs showing the activities being conducted at each site.
14. Freeboard in the storage lagoon shall not be less than two feet at any time.
15. A waste -level gauge, to monitor waste levels in the storage pond, shall be installed within 60 days of
issuance of this permit. This gauge shall have readily visible permanent markings indicating the
maximum liquid level at the top of the temporary liquid storage volume, minimum liquid level at the
bottom of the'temporary liquid storage volume, and top of the dam elevations. Caution must be taken not
to damage the integrity of the liner when installing the gauge.
16. Only those cleaning agents and soaps that are EPA approved, will not harm the cover crop, and will not
contravene the groundwater standards listed in 15A NCAC 2L may be utilized in the Dail Brothers
Livestock Trailer Washout Facility facility. Instruction labels are to be followed when using cleaning
agents and soaps.
17. Engine and engine parts shall not be washed or rinsed in the wastewater system. Oil drained from engine
crankcases, antifreeze or degreasing solvent wastes SHALL NOT be discharged into the disposal system.
18. Results from the soils analysis required in Permit Condition RI. 4., shall be utilized by the Permittee, to
determine the appropriate amount of lime and/or gypsum to be incorporated into the spray irrigation field
to neutralize the potential build-up of salts within the primary soil horizon (i.e., effective rooting depth of
the crop grown, or soil horizon O/A (up to 12 inches), whichever is least in depth) of the designated
irrigation field. The salt build-up hazard is due to the continuous addition of trailer cleaning agents and
disinfectants to the spray irrigation effluent. If the accumulation of salts results in the soil's inability to
properly assimilate spray irrigation effluent (i.e. soil infiltration rate is less than 0.22 inches per hour, refer
to Condition H. 7.), then the Permittee must provide an alternative disposal site, subject to Division
approval, prior to further spray irrigation activities_
III. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Any monitoring (including groundwater, surface water, soil or plant tissue analyses) deemed necessary by
the Division to insure surface and ground water protection will be established and an acceptable sampling
reporting schedule shall be followed.
2. Adequate records shall be maintained by the Permittee tracking the amount of wastewater disposed. These
records shall include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following information:
a. Date of irrigation;
b. Volume of wastewater irrigated;
c. Field irrigated;
d. Length of time field is irrigated;
e. Continuous weekly, monthly, and year-to-date hydraulic (inches/acre) loadings for each field;
f. Continuous weekly, monthly, and year-to-date PAN (pounds/acre) loadings for each field;
g. Nitrogen balance for each field after an application event;
h. Weather conditions;
is Cover crop; and
j. Maintenance of cover crops.
The effluent from the subject facilities shall be monitored by the Permittee at the point prior to irrigation
EVERY MARCH, JULY, and NOVEMBER, for the following parameters:
Fecal Coliform pH
Sodium Magnesium
Calcium Sodium Adsorption Ratio (by calculation)
NCDA-CS (Agronomic Division) Waste analysis Report form'
Fecal Coliform shall be required for the purpose of monitoring for any domestic septage
contribution to the effluent stream (strictly prohibited in Condition 11. 10., and IL 11.),
due to Permittee's history of connecting a toilet to the storage lagoon. If the Permittee
provides documentation to the Division for acknowledgement and approval,
substantiating that the toilet referred to in Condition 1I. 11., has been fully
decommissioned, AND a notarized letter providing written assurance that no further
storage pond -connected toilet facilities will be installed in the future, this parameter shall
be removed.
2 Analysis report shall be used in the monitoring and proper management of the cover
crops grown on the spray irrigation field. The analysis report shall also be used as an
indicator to prevent any permanent damage to the soil infiltration rate of the designated
spray irrigation field.
4. An ANNUAL representative soils analysis (Standard Soil Fertility Analysis) shall be conducted during the
months of April 15t' to September 15''' (after initial sampling date is established, future annual sampling,
thereafter, shall occur on or near the date of the initial sampling (+/- up to seven days)) on each permitted
spray field area, and the results shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for a minimum of five year:
The soil sample depth used, shall be at either the effective rooting depth of the crop grown, or within soi
horizon O/A (up to 12 inches), whichever is least in depth.
The Standard Soil Fertility Analysis shall include, but is not necessarily limited to, the following
parameters:
Acidity Manganese Potassium
Calcium Percent Humic Matter Sodium
Copper pH Zinc
Magnesium Exchangeable Sodium Percentage' Phosphorus
Cation Exchange Capacity Base Saturation (by calculation)
'Due to the possibility of a presence of high salts in the spray irrigation effluent, the exchangeable
sodium percentage (ESP) shall be monitored on the designated spray irrigation site by using the
results from the annual soil analysis. ESP is calculated as follows. ESP = (Na
(rnilliequivalents)/Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC)) x 100. If the ESP of the designated spray
irrigation site results in an ESP of greater than 10 percent, consult the agronomic advice of the
local Extension Office, the Department of Agriculture, the Natural Resource Conservation
Service, Certified Agronomist, or a North Carolina Licensed Soil Scientist, prior to the further
spray irrigation of effluent on the irrigation site of concern. Any of the above parties may review
the ESP results, in light of the particular site conditions and make recommendations. The
Permittee shall implement these recommendations in the management of the given spray irrigation
site.
Three copies of all operation and disposal records (as specified in Condition 111. 2.) on Form NDAR-I and
three copies of all effluent monitoring data (as specified in Conditions 111. 3.) on Form NDMR-1 shall be
submitted on or before the last day of the APRIL, AUGUST, and DECEMBER. Three copies of the
representative soils analysis (as specified in Condition 111. 4.) shall be submitted ANNUALLY on or
before March I' of the year following the initial spray irrigation event. All information shall be submitted
to the following address:
NC Division of Water Quality
