Director Division of Water Quality 2 5 2093 Mr. Ronald Allen ALLEN BROTHERS FARM 6593 Center Road Bladenboro, NC 28320 _ Permit No. AWG090017, Facility Number 9al7 Dear Mr. Allen: It is the charge of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) to promote stewardship of North Carolina's groundwater resources for the protection of human health and the environment by preventing pollution; managing and restoring degraded groundwater, and protecting the resource. On March 20, 2002, a neighboring residence was found to have nitrates at 11.92 parts per million (ppm). The North Carolina standard is 10 ppm. In accordance with the General Permit AWG 09001.7, the DWQ may require any monitoring necessary, to include groundwater monitoring, to determine the source of a contaminant that is considered a threat to groundwater. Due to the proximity of your permitted facility, this letter is to notify you that this office is preparing a recommendation for a permit amendment to your Certificate of Coverage (or individual permit) to include groundwater monitoring, based on the further potential impact of waste application on neighboring well/wells and surrounding groundwater. If you have additional information about the impacted well/wells, or you believe there are other factors that should be considered, please submit your response in writing within 10 days of receipt of this notice to the letterhead address. Your explanation will be reviewed, and if the permit amendment for groundwater monitoring is still deemed appropriate, your explanation will be forwarded to the Director with the permit amendment request for consideration. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact William Shanahan at (910 486- 1541. Sincerely, jStepharnhardt L.G.

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 greaterthan 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 of the numberof 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 ofcopper 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 concerts. 01 Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization Table Crop Maximum PA-N Rate Ib/ac Maximum Sludge Application Rate 1000 gal/ac Minimum Acres 5 Years Accumulation Minimum Acres 10 Years Accumulation Minimum Acres 15 Years Accumulation Swine Nursery Lagoon Sludge - Standard 'Corn 120 bu 150 13.16 30.95 61.90 92.95 Hay 6 ton R.Y-E- 300 26.32 15-48 30.95 46.43 Soybean 40 bu 160 14.04 29.02 58.03 87.05 ---- -- ------ - ----------------------------- ---------------------- ----------------------------------------- --------•-- 697694 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 08-23-2007 Sludge Page 1 of 1 n aa. ,�, �"{ �,, M :F';:. ^„dy ,�.,,.:,'T' j: � 'J -t •,�Y Jr� : Ar y � .\ � �:�,,� � r `"t `� , f?1��.�:, ti;gli , , �- .� 1.

Stumps will be removed within the area of the foundation of the embankment and fill areas and all excavated areas. All stumps and roots exceeding one (1) inch in diameter shall be removed to a minimum depth of one (1) foot. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly before placement of embankment material. Lagoon► site (and pad site if needed) to be stripped of topsoil (3") and stockpiled for use on dike and pad slopes (2--3"). The topsoiling quantity is in excess of amounts specified on page one (1). Cut-off Trench: A cut-off trench (when specified) shall be installed as shown in the plans. Construction: ------------- Construction of excavated and earthfill areas shall be performed to the neat lines and grades as planned. Deviations from this will require prior approval of the SCS. Earthfill shall be placed in max. of 6" lifts and not placed in standing water. Compaction shall be perforated by the construction equipment or cheeps -foot roller during placement. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials. Construction of fill heights shall include ten (10) percent for settlement. To protect against seepage, when areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will need to be excavated a minimum of one (1) foot below grade and backfilled and compacted with a SCS approved material (ie-CL,SC,CH). Refer to the soil investigation information in the plans for special considerations. Precautions should be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. Vegetation: All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construction according to seeding specifications sheet.

Satisfactory disposition will be made of all d_br is. The t—oP-oil frog the lagoon and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior to placing the first lift of fill material to get a good bond. EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT: ----------------------------------- The completed e:<cavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines. grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthfill material _hall be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen soil, stones over A inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the ettent they are suitable,, excavated materials can be used as fill. The fill shall be brought up in approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9 inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer wi11 be compacted by'conrlete coverage with the hauling and spreading equipment or standard tamping roller or ether equivalent method. Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectible. NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS -FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials from the required ex,cavations. Construction of fill heivhts shall include 5 percent tor - settlement.

MOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERIAL 1S ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION, A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE SOILS REPORT. When areas of unsuitable material are encountered. they will be over - excavated below finish grade to the specifiers depth as measured perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall be back filled as specified to grade with a SCS approved material (ie - CL,SC,CH). REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION .IN THE PLANS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS. cucv- H n_ Soil liner material ~hall come fro,^, an approved borrow area.. The minimum ;pater content of the liner material shall be optirnur moisture content which relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneaded in the hand it will town a. tall which does not readily separate. Water shall be added to borro:q as necessary to insure proper m®rist_!r-e content during placemment of the liner. The moisture content of the line- matey -al shall not be less than optimum water content dUr.ing placement. The maximum water Content relates to the soil material being too wet for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Pror-t- compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum ASTM D698 Dry Unit Weight of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previou=s lift shall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement of the next lift. The single most important, factor affecting the overall compacted r+erme- ability of a clay liner, other than the type of clay used for the liner, is the efficient construction processing of the compacted liner. The sequence. of equipment use and the routing of equipment in an estab- lished pattern helps assure uniformity in the whole placement and compaction process. For most clay soils, a tamping or sheepsfoot roller is the preferable type of compaction equipment. The sail liner shall be protected from the discharge of waste outlet pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipa.tor (rocks) or using flexible outlets on waste pipes. Aiternzitives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bento,nite sealant. When these are specified! additional construction specifications are included with this Construction Specification. CUTOFF TRENCH: -------------- A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area w-fen shown on a typical cross section in the plans. The final depth of the cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foL=.ndation materials. VEGETATION: All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after corisLruc--- iion according to the seeding- specifications. Topsoil should be placed on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary s+-e,d i ng or rri F 1 ch shall be used if the recommended permanent vegetation is out of season dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should be established as soon as possible during the ne.^t'period of approved seeding dates, REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS1 -------------------------------- When the drain- are encountered, the the will be removed to a minimum of iG feet beyond the outside toe of slope of the'dik.e.

The time required for the planned fluid level to be reached (permanent + temporary storage) may vary due to sail 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 3) the largest 24 hour (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 building(s). If the outlet pipe is not installed on the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent marker must 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, renter 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: 1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre -- charged to 1/2 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. 3. 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 0.3 inch per hour. 5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. b. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and establish in vegetation. 7. All surface* runoff is to be diverted from 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 100 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.

S. If you are a contract swine grower associated with a swine company integrator, contact the company representative at 1-910-592-5771 OPERATION & NLUMENANCE 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 emended 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 bermudagrass or when there are extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early 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 future wet periods. In the late summer/early 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 emended wet periods. Overflow from the lagoon for any reason exert a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of state law and subject to penalty action. LAGOON MAINTENANCE 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 fedd zed with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or equivalent. ✓ Brush and trees on the embankment must he 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. I . undesirable vegetative growth 2. floating or lodged debris ✓ Embankment --- look for: I . settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes 2. side slope stability --- stumps 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 ofvegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. Wwave action causes serious damage to a lagoon side wail, bates 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 temporaryfix 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 facture. You should perform your pumping system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This WM 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 runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parldng 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 solutions, 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 rain (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 fiill 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 fining 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 Ball 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 until 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 warms 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. Fit 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. Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This will reduce the amount of solids catering 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 I 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 darn or embanlomtmt. ✓ Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is full or before it fills 50 percent of the 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 soil 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 sod incorporate. Regardless of the method, you must 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. If the 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 soA-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 fsluues 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 Mures 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 lure.

NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PLAN Grower(s): Farm Name: County_ Farm Type: Farm Capacity: Storage Structure: Storage Period: Application Method; Ronald & Joe Allen Allen Brothers Farm Bladen Wean -Feed 12160 Anaerobic Lagoon 180 days Irrigation The waste from your animal farAfty 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 maxirnke 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 erodng 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 DWQ regulations. Page: i 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid brfft 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. 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 pram analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions --half be nvade 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 utffization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission - AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR ( gallons, ft3, tons, etc.): 12160 animals X 222.85 gal/aninwlfyear = 2,707,424 gallons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN PRODUCED PER YEAR Qbs): 12160 animals X 0.48 lbstanimal/year = 5,836.80 Ibs Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appmpriate equipment to apply the waste In a timely manner.

A positive number means additional acreage is required to utJrze the nitrogen produced by the farm. NOTE: This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. 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 ( Le. 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 mine inches. Cattle should be removed wrien 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. Page: 3 April or May}. Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere with stand of bermudagmss. 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.

Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at Page. 4 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 approxunatefy 0-072 pounds of plant available Ff"en per animal per year in the sludge based on the application method listed earlier. 1f you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 4377.60 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need '14.59 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to com at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 35.02 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25A10 depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and applications. 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 rapacity 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 appication 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_ The following is provided as a guide for establishing applcation rates and amounts.

Animal waste shall not reach surface wrten 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. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has a notarized 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 waste, he/she shall provide a copy of a notarized agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proz;mity, allowing hinviter the use of the land for waste application It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the numb of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on sod type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. Actual yields may be used in lieu of realistic yield tables at the discretion of the planner. 4. Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at more than 5 tons but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter snips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393-Falter Strips) 5. Odors can be reduced by meeting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to Hooding, 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" for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does riot 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 odor and flies. S_ Anairnal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, daring rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. AninW waste should be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to depth that would prohibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered 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 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 from any perennial stream or river other than an irrigation ditch or 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 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). WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than Io0 feet from welds. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by 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, drainagewvays or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided it has been approved as a land applications site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste applied on grassed waterways shall be at agronomic rates and 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 discbarged into the anknal waste management system- 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed area (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. Lagoaa berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is 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 preplant with no farther appEcations of animal waste during the crop season- 2 1. Highly visible permanent 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 maskers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22, Soil tests shall be made every two years, and a liquid waste analysis shall be taken at least twice each year consistent with waste utilization plan. Poultry litter shall be tested prior to application. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five yam, Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC regulations. l j,... l• `� +. .s.• i'j'�'1-{? �r �� j.�i'1;i a �v�M ,,r' � ''!' ` r , r..t I: '' '!% r •' ;� °' 1w+Cc lei 1 .. � } fx' J -. r �!` � ..

RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED Mr. Ronald Allen i �v ALLEN BROTHERS FARM 4 6593 Center Road Bladenboro, NC 28320 Permit No. AWG 090017, Facility Number gall � Dear Mr. Allen: The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is charged with promoting stewardship of North Carolina's groundwater resources for the protection of human health and the environment by preventing pollution, managing and restoring degraded groundwater. Groundwater standards have been established by the Environmental Management Commission to protect groundwater quality and citizens of the state that use groundwater. Consolidated animal farm operations (CAFOs) in North Carolina generate large volumes of wastes and dispose of these wastes through permitted NPDES and non -discharge systems. These discharged wastes contain many constituents that have the potential to contaminate groundwater. DENR's Groundwater program has the responsibility to regulate groundwater impacts and protect groundwater quality for North Carolina's citizens. This responsibility is important because over 50% of North Carolina's population depend upon groundwater as their primary source of drinking water. There are 3,544 land application systems permitted in North Carolina, which include CAFOs, municipal, industrial and other permitted systems. The State along with the primary stakeholders has agreed to establish a protocol and screening criteria to identify those facilities that will be evaluated. Regional offices will evaluate facilities that meet one or more of the following criteria to determine whether or not the Permit or Certificate of Coverage should be amended to address concerns associated with groundwater. a) The facility has been issued an NOD or NOV from the Water Quality Section for over application of waste, inadequate cover crop, discharge or problems associated with the construction or operation of the lagoon, b) The regional office staff had prior knowledge and concerns about the spray fields and/or lagoons, c) The United States Environmental Protection Agency has provided documentation of contamination related to an investigation of a facility, or d) The facility operates adjacent to an offsite water supply well where existing well sampling data indicates water quality standards are exceeded. Once a facility has been identified based on one of these criteria, the Groundwater Regional staff shall contact the permittee and advise them there is a concern relating to groundwater contamination. An overview of the screening process and an explanation of how the permittee's facility was selected for evaluation are required. *h Division of Water Quality/Groundwater Section NUDEi� 225 Green Street, Suite 714, Fayetteville, NC 28301-5043 Phone: (910) 486-1541 FAX: (910) 486-0707 Internet: http,//gw.ehnr.state.nc.us Customer Service: (800) 623-7748 7/12102 Your facility has been identified as having met one or more of the above screening conditions and you are being notified and provided with an opportunity to participate during our ensuing field investigation. We will be available to conduct water quality testing of any on -site wells within your property if you so desire. At the completion of this field investigation there are two possible outcomes. The Regional Groundwater Supervisor may request the Director to modify your permit and/or certificate of coverage to include groundwater monitoring or a determination will be made that modification is not warranted. In either case you will be notified of the results and provided another opportunity to provide input into the process.

Sludge Management/Operation Plan Sludge Management Guidance Lagoon evaluation data developed by NCSU and a review of lagoon management records of several lagoons showed that the treatment capability of the swine lagoons evaluated in NC was not significantly adversely affected by sludge accumulations of 50% or more of the planned treatment volume of the lagoon. Therefore it is felt that it is permissible to allow sludge accumulation into the planned treatment zone of properly monitored and managed lagoons provided that: c Nutrient values of the lagoon effluent are within the normal operating range. • There is no noticeable increase in lagoon odor. Nutrients land applied from the lagoon are properly accounted for in the application plan (W UP}. Sludge Management Sludge in my lagoon will be managed by the following: Adequately monitor to define sludge volume, location, and rate of accumulation by conducting an annual sludge survey. e Maintain a minimum IS feet deep zone, free of sludge at the pump intake during irrigation. e Position the pump intake and manage the irrigation operation such that the material irrigated is not more concentrated than the nutrient analysis samples. Sufficient monitoring to address concerns that nutrients are not over applied. 6 Other items as required by DWQ. I hereby certify that I have reviewed the information listed above and included within the attached Plan of Action; and to the best of my knowledge and ability, the information is accurate and correct.

Worksheet for sludge volume and treatment volume Revised August 2008 The average thickness of the sludge layer and the thickness of the existing liquid (sludge -free) treatment zone are determined from the information on the Lagoon Sludge Survey Form ( Items O-and P, respectively). In this example, the average sludge layer thickness is 2.5 feet and the existing liquid treatment zone is 3.5 feet. If the lagoon has a designed sludge storage volume, see notes at end of the Worksheet. The dimensions of the lagoon as measured and the side slope are needed for calculations of sludge volume and of total treatment volume. If the lagoon is a standard geometric shape, the sludge volume and the treatment volume in the lagoon can be estimated by using standard equations. For approximate volumes of rectangular lagoons with constant side slope, calculate length and width at the midpoint of the layer, and multiply by layer thickness to calculate layer volume, as shown in the example. For irregular shapes, convert the total surface area to a square or rectangular shape. For exact volumes for lagoons with constant side slope, the "Prismoidal Equations" may be used_ Example Your Lagoon 1. Average sludge Layer Thickness (T) 2.5 ft. 2.

Allen Allen Brothers Farm 6593 Center Road Bladenboro NC 28320 SUBJECT: Request Procedure Change Dear Mr. Allen: We appreciate your sampling efforts for November 2007. TBL in Lumberton is a certified laboratory for Fecal Coliform, but this is a reminder that we need the results better quantified. The "less than 200" CFUs per 1001ml listed on the lab report could include any number between 0 and 199. Due to drinking water concerns, ground water standards are very low (1 CFUI100 ml), so even small numbers are important. Please be sure that this is done in future sampling. Ricky Revels has already phoned Greer Moore, in time for the planned March sampling. It is a good idea to sample a little early, in case a second sample has to be taken before the end of the month. Thank you. If you have any questions please call me at the Fayetteville office at (910) 433-3333, and I will try to find some answers.

The William Johnson water supply well located across lire road (Center Road) From the Allen's spray Fields wax sampled by Fayetteville KO on March 20, 2002 and nitrates were at 1192 mg/l. The off site high nitrates at the Johnson residence with Ilse DENR CAFO Protocol evaluation were the drivers in the addition of the ground water monitoting to Allen Brothers permit. The following summarizes events chronologically, DATE DOCUMENT / ITEM AUTHOR EVENT I SUBJECT March 20, 2002 Water well sampling DWQ Fa etteville RO William Johnson water supply well sam led; nitrates = 11.92 rn I. April 26, 2002 COC / Permit DWQ CO Permit issued with ground water monitoring added, April 26, 2002 Internal memo DWQ CO Ground water mortitoring recommended. June 2002 Monitoring wells Allen Brothers The three required monitoring wells were installed.

November 18, 2002 Letter to Allen Bros. DWQ hayretteville RO Letter advised Allen Bros. they are going to be evaluated via Protocol. March 24, 2003 1 Letter to Allen Bros, DWQ Fayetteville RO Allen Bros. advised that ground water sampling was going to be added to their perYnit May 1, 2003 COC / Permit DWQ CO Permit issued with ground water monitoring removed; replaces April 26, 2002 permit. May 2, 2003 Sampling data Allen Brothers & MC Three monitoring wells were sampled; see EHC report dated May 15, 2003 and Figure 1 dated 5113/03. July 11, 2003 Letter to DWQ Allen Brothers Searching for alternate spray fields and the Johnson house. coturected to the Bladen County water supply, -- July 15, 2003 Internal memo DWQ Fayetteville KO Recommend grd water monitoring based upon sampLing Johnson's well. July 30, 2003 Internal memo DWQ CO Recommend grd water sampling via Protocol evaluation, September 25, 2003 COC I Permit DWQ CO Permit issued with ground water monitoring added; replaces May 1, 2003 pertrhiC m Some of the ahove events seem out of sequence. m c� u� m . tdf3Q2007 dgt R w Note the letter from Allen Brothers on July 11, 2003 which discusses searching for alternate Spray fields and the William Johnson residence was connected to the aBladen County water supply. There are no other references discovered confirming the county water connection and the alternate spray fields. CHANGES TO GNV MONITORING: The auimal operation has not changed since the initial permit in 1998. The monitoring program has not changed since the first monitoring permit in April 2002 except for the DWQ HOLD period in 200212003. The number of wells, parameters, and frequency has remained the same, ' _ SAMPLING_ RESULTS — GENERAL: Sampling data can only be found for January and June 2004. There are no yellow somplingfonns in the file other thnn'for 2004. There is no documentation indicating that the sampling was terminated. Termination does not seem rationale after only one year of monitoring in 2004 and the elevated nitrate levels in all 0 three monitoring wells. Sampling is to be conducted three times per year, but only sampled twice in 2004. The limited data, for 2004, indicates that the nitrates w consistently exceed the 10.0 mg/l limit. Even MW-1 which is supposedly the up gradient wep had high nitrates. The attached Figure 1 (two) dated 1/13/2004 and 6114/2004, show the January and ,tune 2004 sampling data geographically. The other parameter of concern, p1l, was out of range.- 3 z OVERVIEW: 0 w ca The Allen Brothers farm is recognized as inactive in RIMS relative to ground water sampling. The lack of data post 2004 would support the inadhw status. But Z there is no documentation indicating that ground water monitoring was removed; no permit modification to remove sampling. The Nutrient Management Plan submitted with the 2007 permit renewal application was dated June 1, 2001 and die irrigation snap was dated March 4, 1997; thus, the irrigation system has not been modified. The high nitrates in 2003 and 2004 at the monitoring wells and in 2002 at the Johnson house would not support the deletion of ground water sampling. MISSING INFO,• 1. Removal of groundwater monitoring requirement from the permit if such an event happened?? m 2. Sampling data subsequent to 2004 if sampling was done?? in 3. Was the Johnson house connected to the Bladen County water supply in July 200277 m 4. Were alternate spray fields substituted?? If different spiny fields were chosen, there should have been a permit modification Ln 5.

Data qualifiers are intended to provide the ESC client with more detailed information concerning the potential bias of reported data. Because of the wide grange of constituents and variety of matrices incorporated by most EPA methods,it is common for some compounds to fall outside of established ranges. These exceptions are evaluated and all reported data is valid and useable unless qualified as 'R' (Rejected). Definitions Accuracy - The relationship of the observed value of a known sample to the true value of a known sample_ Represented by percent recovery and relevant to samples such as: control samples, matrix spike recoveries, surrogate recoveries, etc. Precision - The agreement between a set of samples or between duplicate samples. Relates to how close together the results are and is represented by Relative Percent Differrence. Surrogate - Organic compounds that are similar in chemical composition, extraction, and chromotography to analytes of interest. The surrogates are used to determine the probable response of the group of dnalytes that are chem- ically related to the surrogate compound. Surrogates are added to the sample and carried through all stages of preparation and analyses, TIC Tentatively Identified Compound: Compounds detected in samples that are not target compounds, internal standards, system monitoring compounds, or surrogates.

Attachment B Explanation of QC Qualifier Codes r - Qualifier Meaning T8 (ESC) - Additional method/sample information: Sample(s) received past/too close to holding time expiration. Qualifier Report Information ESC utilizes sample and result qualifiers as set forth by the EPA Contract Laboratory Program and as required by most certifying bodies including NELAC. In addition to the EPA qualifiers adcpted by ESC, we have implemented ESC qualifiers to provide more information pertaining to our analytical results. Each qualifier is designated in the qualifier explanation as either EPA or ESC_ Data qualifiers are intended to provide the ESC client with more detailed 'information concerning the potential bias of reported data. Because of the wide range cf constituents and variety c'_ matrices incorporated by most EPA methods,it is common for some compounds to fall outside of established ranges. These exceptions are evaluated and all reported data is valid and useable unless qualified as 'R' (Rejected). Definitions Accuracy - The relatianehip of the observed value of a known sample to the true value of a known sample. Represented by percent recovery and relevant to samples such as: control samples, matrix spike recoveries, surrogate recoveries, etc. Precision - The agreement between a set of samples or between duplicate samples - Relates to how close together the results are and is represented by Relative Percent Differrence_ surrogate - Organic compounds that are similar in chemical composition, extraction, and chromotcgraphy to analytes of interest. The surrogates are used to determine the probable response of the group of analytes that are chem- ically related to the surrogate compound. Surrogates are added to the sample and carried through all stages of preparation and analyses. TIC - Tentatively Identified Compound: compounds detected in samples that are not target compounds, internal standards, system monitoring compounds, or surrogates.

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 { 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 order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included.

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). --- - ---------------------------------------------------------- 282493 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 4/6/2010 Specification Page 1 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. 8. 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- --- 282493 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 4/6/2010 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. - - ---- ------------ __----------- 282493 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 4/6/2010 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 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 five (5) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. -------------____---_------ -- -----------------p--------------- 282493 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 4/6/2010 Specification Page 4 Crop Notes Corn CP, Organic Soils The following crop note applies to field(s): 2 In the Coastal Plain, corn is normally planted when soil temperatures reach 52 to 55 degrees fahrenheit.

It was observed that the inside slope of the lagoon dikes require a suitable cover grass. It was also observed that waste application records for the winter overseed did not correspond with the fields in the CAWMP and the allowable PAN rate was exceeded in one field- In regard to the deficiencies noted during the inspection, the following actions are requested: 1. At the time of the inspection, this farm had already contracted with a company knowledgable in recordkeeping and the current crop records appeared accurate and adequate. 2. Plant a suitable cover grass on the inside slope of the lagoon dike down to the pump on marker to curtail erosion of the liner. Nothing in this letter should be taken as absolving this facility of the responsibility and liability of any violations that have or may result from these deficiencies. 225 GREEN STREET, SUITE 714, FAYETTEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA 28301-5043 PHONE 910-486-1541 FAX 910-486-0707 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY / AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER - 50% RECYCLEO/10% POST -CONSUMER PAPER N Mr. Ronald Allen Page 2 July 8, 1998 If you have any questions concerning this matter, please call Bob Heath, at (910) 486-1541.

Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following: Submit payment of the penalty: Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (do not include waiver forni).

Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for such request: Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered: (1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the violator; (2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation: (3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident; (4) whether the violator has been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or (5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions. Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission. In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed `Justification for Remission Request."
