and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
Wells Livestock, Inc.
Duplin County
FOR THE
continued operation of a 254 GPD spray irrigation treatment and disposal facility consisting of a 1,500 gallon
septic tank and a 6,000 gallon tanker for storage and a 3850 gallon spreader for the application of waste, to serve
Wells Livestock Inc., with no discharge of wastes to the surface waters, pursuant to the application received
January 30, 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 April 30, 2007, and shall be subject to the
following specified conditions and limitations
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. 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 assimilate 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.
2. 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.
3. The residuals generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed in accordance with General
Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the Division.
4. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is prohibited.

5. 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.
II. 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 Pernuttee shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator

Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: Swine Buying Station (100 feeder tb Finish)
Number of Animals: 100
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified
rate to prevent pollution of surface 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 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. 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. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available
water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land
eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre-
cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per
acre per year. 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 DWQ
regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift
and downwind odor problems. 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 to bare ground
not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this
is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. if you
choose to inject the waste in the future, you need to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating waste are
not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage require-
ments should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste
management facility. Attached you will find information on proper
sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to
the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission_

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.
Your facility is designed for 30 days of storage

If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designe signer to
ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the
acres shown in Tables I and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates
and amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid

UNIVERSITY (CALCULATIONS SHEET INCLOSED). THE WASTE
ANALYSIS THAT ARE ENCLOSED CANE FROM A SIMILAR
BUYING STATION. THE SAMPLES REPRESENT THE TYPE OF
WASTE THAT WILL BE APPLIED TO THE APPLICATION FIELDS,
THIS WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REPRESENTS A TWO-YEAR CROP
ROTATION OF CORN/WINTER ANNUALS/SOYBEANS. THE PLANT
AVAILABLE NITROGEN FIGURES HAVE BEEN DOUBLED TO
REPRESENT A TWO-YEAR ACCUMALATION OF PLANT
AVAILABLE NITROGEN.
MR. BOWMAN INTENDS TO APPLY SWINE WASTE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH HIS SPECIFIC ANALYSIS NOT TO EXCEED
THE AGRONOMIC LOADING OF THE CROP OR THE HYDRAULIC
LOADING OF THE SOILS (HYDRAULIC LOADINGS ATTACHED AND
PART OF SOIL SCIENTIST REPORT). MR. BOWMAN MAY USE
CATTLE TO REMOVE SMALL GRAIN IN WINTER MONTHS. ALL
FIELDS MUST MEET MONITORING AND REPORTING
REQUIREMENTS WHEN USED.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Plans and Specifications
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 which
reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject
to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division
of Water Quality for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Local NRCS office must have documentation in the design folder that
the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land
to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own adequate
land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy
of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable
proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application
for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the
responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an updated Waste
Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in
the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land.
Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen
needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture,
historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless
there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other
nutrients.
Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management
System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS
is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per
year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves
the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers"
required by DEM. (See FOTG Standard 393-Filter Strips and Standard
390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste
application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing.
When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it
will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When
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" in
the NRCS Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.
7_ Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infil-
tration rate such that runoff does not occur off -site 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 conditions
conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application.
8_ Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall
event, or when the 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.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
10. Waste nutrients 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 a crop on bare soil.
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface
water_ This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial
provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See standard
393 - Filter Strips)
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, drainage ways,
or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be
applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been
approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist".
Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge
into water courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the
application causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from wash down facilities, showers,
toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste
management system.
17_ Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain
a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year,
24-hour storm event in addition to one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
1 B. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on
all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.).
If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and
and 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. Lagoon berms and structures should be
inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge.
19. 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.
20. 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.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
21. 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. =-
22. 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.
23. Waste shall be tested within sixty 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 element. Zinc
and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop
sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH
and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry
waste application records shall be maintained for three years. Waste
application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five
years.
24. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North
Carolina State regulations or other States' regulations.

I (we) know that an expansion to the existing design capacity of
the waste treatment and storage system or construction of new
facilities will require a new certification to be submitted to the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) before the new animals
are stocked. I (we) also understand that there be no discharge
of animal waste from this system to surface waters of the state
from a storm event less severe than the 25 year, 24 hour storm.
The approved plan will be filed on -site at the farm office and at
the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District and
will be available for review by DWQ upon request.
I (we) understand that I must own or have access to equipment,
primarily irrigation equipment, to land apply the animal waste
described in this waste utilization plan. This equipment must be
available at the appropriate pumping time such that no discharge
occurs from the lagoon in a 25-year 1-day storm event. I also
certify that the waste will be applied on the land according to
this plan at the appropriate times and at rate that no runoff
occurs.
