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 nub ients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in wing you waste uWU2tion plan in order to maximize the fart tier value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an envi onmentatly 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. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration ragas, leaching potentials, c a ion exduuVe capacities, and available water holding cap'acdm. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acne per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated sobs, when it is raining, or when the surface is frazen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor RECEIVED I DENR I DWQ AQUIFFR-PRnTFrT10N SECTION APR 0 6 7nnq Page: 1 problems. 6. To ma:dmize 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. lrgecft 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 plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate c hangmg waste analysis content and crop type. Lune must be applied to rrwintain.pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the nsgL&ements for cxrrnpliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the EnVur� Management Comatission.

A positive number means additional acreage is required to utilize the nitrogen produced by the farm. NOTE: This plan does not mclu de commerciial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the cmps fisted above. The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while rneef .ng 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 (i.e. small grain, etc,'irrterseeded in benmuda), forage must be removed through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle show be removed when plants are grazed to a Page: 3 might of four inches. In Melds where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially We in the season (.e. April or May). Shading may resutt if small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will mutt 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 hanresft hay or silage two to three times during the season, wing on the time small grain is planted in the W. The ideal time to Yderplant 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.

Acres shown in the Ong table are conskkwed to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. 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 approximately 0.36 pounds of plant available nitrogen per animal per year in the sludge based on the application method tilted earlier. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 13348.80 pounds of PAN to utilize. assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 30t3 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 44-50 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will creed 106.79 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% 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 capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen creeds of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of lard application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer -to ensure that an irrigation system is irmtMed to property irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. FaMure 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 application rates and amounts. r- - 1 *This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many skuations, the application amount shown cannot be aMAW Muse of the nitrogen Eirri ation. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hoar storm. It is the responsiability of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the connect rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nigh shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

Norris: The Division of Water Quality (Division) received your sludge survey information on October 31, 2007. With the survey results, Kathy Dugan requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement for the lagoons at the Mitchell Norris #1 & #2 facility not to be required until 2009. Due to the amounts of treatment volume available, the Division agrees that a sludge survey is not needed for Mitchell Norris #1 until 2009. The results of the 2009 sludge survey for Mitchell Norris #1 are to be submitted by March 1, 2010. However, DWQ feels that an extension is not appropriate for the lagoon at Mitchell Norris #2 due to the amount of treatment volume available, and the rate of sludge accumulation for the lagoon. The next sludge survey for the lagoon at Mitchell Norris #2 should be performed before December 31, 2007. The results of the 2007 sludge survey for Mitchell Norris #2 are to be submitted by March 1, 2008. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Elizabethtown, NC 28337 Subject: Farm Status and Update Administrative Code 15A NCAC 2H .0217 Mitchell Norris 4 1 & # 2 Facility No. 9-39 Bladen County Dear Mr. Norris: Recently, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality have been working with you for your permitted, NCA209039, swine farm located on Coley Rd. in Bladen County. This letter serves as a follow up to the events that have occurred over the past several months. In November of 2003 staff member Larry Baxley visited your farm and became concerned about the high freeboard levels on the two lagoons. Later one of these would enter the structural storage level and stay there until aerway applications in December lowered it to above 12" on the marker. The entry of a lagoon into the structural storage level is considered by this office an emergency situation and must be responded to within five days. Every reasonable effort must be made to achieve compliance while staying in accordance with your Permit. , The options available to regain compliance are choices made by the producer and their integrator for their particular situation. Common responses are water conservation procedures within the confinement barns and weather permitting to apply wastewater to their spray fields. Another option would be to pump and haul the waste to another legal site. Culling of animals from the confinement houses and depopulation help to reduce the waste flow into the lagoon and thus the volume that has to be removed in order to achieve compliance. Modification of the CAWMP by the incorporation of more application area or the changing to better- suited crops can also be done with the help of a technical specialist. It is the opinion of this office that restocking should not occur until compliance of lagoon liquid levels have been met and hopefully somewhat exceeded. Recently, you purchased an aerway waste application system for use on your farm. This office encourages you to continue to expand your waste handling options by all means that are in accordance with your Permit. While events of the past cannot be changed this office recognizes your recent efforts and looks ahead to working with you in the future. wwl NR N. C.

Box 1721 Elizabethtown, NC 28337 Subject: Timeline of Odor Investigations and Plan Failure of Best Management Plan for Mitchell Norris Farms #1 and #2 (DWQ ID 9a39, Bladen County) Dear Ms. Priest: The North Carolina Division Of Air Quality (DAQ) has prepared this letter in response to a recent email inquiry concerning actions taken at the farm referenced above. The DAQ has reviewed it's information and prepared the attached timeline. The information'contained herein represents the major activities taken through the Fayetteville Regional Office (FRO) and the Raleigh Central Office (RCO). As noted in your email, nearly three years have passed between the initial notification of an Objectionable Odor Determination (the regulation does not make reference to a "violation") and the notification of the BMP Plan Failure. We have discussed this case on a number of occasions both on the phone and through email. Our office has been very instrumental in investigating odor complaints on an emergency response basis over this three year period throughout Bladen County. However, what cannot be asserted at this point in time is that the Mitchell Norris Farms continuously created conditions that met or exceeded the thresholds for determination of an objectionable odor. As noted in the attached timeline, with the exception of the January 3, 2003 equipment failure of the flush system and the odor problem associated with that failure, no determinations of the presence of objectionable odor were found from February 2002 until February 2004. This does not mean that the odor had been eliminated; only that it did not meet the threshold deemed by the DAQ as "objectionable." Note that the objectionable odor determination is based on .... therefore the logbooks that you maintain and submit to the DAQ are a vital part in making objectionable odor determinations. As long as odor levels are being kept below objectionable criteria levels, a plan submitted to the DAQ under the BMP requirements is presumed to be acceptable until such time the objectionable odors recur and are not adequately addressed by the waste management plan or the odor BMP. Fayetteville Regional Office — Division of Air Quality 225 Green Street, Suite 714, Fayetteville, North Carolina 28301-5043 Phone: 910-486-15411 Fax: 910-485-7467 1 Intemet: httpJhvww.ncair.org An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Acton Employer — 50% Recycled1l0% Post Consumer Paper NorthCarolina Naturally The early stages of this rule appear not to allow for fines but instead requires the farmer to take additional actions. Only when we get to the permit phase can violations occur. Under normal circumstances when an odor BMP is found to be insufficient to adequately control odors, the DAQ would require the BMP to be modified to incorporate additional measures, evaluate the modified BMP to determine if it adequately addresses the additional issues, approve and reevaluate it's effectiveness. In this case, however, the failure to complete the original BMP after the requested extension and the existence of objectionable odors from the farm left the DAQ the only regulatory alternative of declaring a plan failure and thus a permit application is now due. As for the future time allowances for control implementation, that is also specified by the regulations. Currently, the Mitchell Norris Farms are within the 90-day allowance to respond and prepare a permit application for review by the DAQ. The permit application must include a schedule that reflects a schedule for installation, including increments of progress, of 12 months or less from permit issuance. The regulations allow for adjustment of the schedule by the Director, provided the owner/operator shows cause for the schedule adjustment. The regulation further stipulates that the schedule cannot exceed 24 months from the date of permit issuance for the control installation to be completed (see 15 NCAC 2D .1802 (k)). As always, we again encourage you to carefully maintain your odor logs and to contact the regional office per our previous instructions. Our inspector, Markus Elliott, has spent many hours investigating odor complaints in your community. Most of these are after dark and are in response to the special 1-800 pager we established for you to call. Receiving emails or calls the next day after a bad odor episode are informative but are difficult to investigate after the fact. I hope this information has been useful. This is still a new rule and we are now in a part of the rule that has never been tried before. Thus we are all working through the rule together. We appreciate your patience and willingness to assist us in implementing this rule. We are also attaching a copy of the regulation. If you need additional information about this case, please contact Markus Elliott or me at the Regional Office at 910-486-1541. You can also contact Gary Saunders at the Raleigh Central Office at 919-733-1497. y'y,F.

Elizabethtown, NC, Bladen County 6 / 09-00000 The Mitchell Norris Farms #1 & #2 (DWQ ID 909) located on Coley Road in the Elizabethtown area of Bladen County, has been the subject of numerous complaints received by the Division of Air Quality Fayetteville Regional Office [FRO DAQ]. The following is a brief summary of key events. Note the odor assessment dates are for the dates in which the odor was `objectionable' and does not include the many investigations were the odor intensity was less. (1) 17 April 2001. Objectionable Odor Determination made by DAQ RCO and letter sent_ This letter was based on data that include the odor observations made by the FRO DAQ staff. The dates that the FRO odor team documented intense/objectionable odors were February 6, 2001, March 1, 2001, March 2, 2001 and March 13, 2001. Note there was also an addendum for the odor assessment on 23 March 2001. Note: due to failed tracking of the certified mail response, no date could be proven on which Mr. Norris received his letter thus DAQ could not accurately track the 90 day requirement for a Odor Management Plan submittal. (2) 08 August 2001. After Regional Office contacts Mr. Norris and Mr. Kraig Westerbeek (Murphy Farms), DAQ received Best Management Plan. (3) 11 September 2001. Letter to Mr. Norris stating plan was inadequate and incomplete. (4) 29 October 2001. Updated Best Management Plan was received from Mr. Norris. Still did not include a schedule for implementation. Mr. Norris and Mr. Westerbeek were contacted by DAQ RCO and a schedule was requested. (5) 30 January 2002. FRO sends RCO an addendum to the investigation package. Strong odors were still being observed by the neighbors. Markus Elliott continues to investigate for FRO. Strong odors determined on: 08 January 2002, 10 January 2002, and 28 January 2002. (6) 1 May 2002. DAQ RCO sends Mr. Norris a letter notifying him of the "Completion of the Best Management Plan" timetable of six months from the date of submission of the plan. Mr. Norris verbally requested that the planting of the Leland Cypress trees be delayed due to drought conditions and that planting occur after the drought conditions had passed. Observations conducted by DAQ at that time indicated that odor levels were not detectable at the property boundaries. (7) January 2003 investigation of odor complaint. Flushing system failure was believed to be the cause. Repairs made. This problem appeared to be due to equipment breakdown, thus not explicitly cover under the BMP. DAQ encouraged rapid repair and the development of a plan for preventive maintenance to prevent like problems. FRO staff also discuss the odor management plan and the requirement for trees to have been planted. _ Request for Additional Compliance Info made to Mr. Norris. (8) February 5, 2004 Request for Odor BMP failure requested from RCO DAQ. Odor observed on several occasions. Leland Cyprus trees were not planted according to WQ inspector and drive by observations by DAQ staff. (9) February 21, 2004. Objectionable odor observed at complainant's residence. (10) February 23, 2004. Notice of Odor BMP was sent to Mr. Norris at the address listed in the DWQ database. Letter was subsequently returned to DAQ as undeliverable. (11) March 19, 2004. Notice of Odor BMP letter was reissued with a new address. (12) April 2, 2004. Notice of Odor BMP received by Mr. Norris according to the returned Certified Mail receipt. Therefore an air permit application is due postmarked on or before July 2004. (13) May 25, 2004. Received a written request to amend BMP from Mr. Norris. Response indicated he had planted some of the trees but also purchased equipment to better incorporate the wastewater into the soil and this should also help to eliminate odors. FRO forwarded this response to RCO for review and consideration. s ENR -- ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2D .1800 SECTION .1800 - CONTROL OF ODORS .1801 DEFINITIONS For the purpose of this Section, the following definitions apply: (1) "Animal operation" means animal operation as defined in G.S. 143-215.10B.

In deciding if an animal operation is causing or contributing to an objectionable odor, the Director may consider one or more of the following: (1) the nature, intensity, frequency, pervasiveness, and duration of the odors from the animal operation; (2) complaints received about objectionable odors from the animal operation; (3) emissions from the animal operation of known odor causing compounds, such as ammonia, total volatile organics, hydrogen sulfide or other sulfur compounds at levels that could cause or contribute to an objectionable odor; (4) any epidemiological studies associating health problems with odors from the animal operation or documented health problems associated with odors from the animal operation provided by the State Health Director; or (5) any other evidence, including records maintained by neighbors, that show that the animal operation is causing or contributing to an objectionable odor. (h) Requirement for a best management plan for controlling odors from existing animal operations. If the Director finds that an existing animal operation is causing or contributing to an objectionable odor, the owner or operator of the animal operation shall: (1) submit to the Director as soon as practical, but not to exceed 90 days after receipt of written notification from the Director that the animal operation is causing or contributing to an objectionable odor, a best management plan for odor control as described in Rule .1803 of this Section; and (2) be in compliance with the terms of the plan within 30 days after the Director approves the best management plan (compliance with an approved compliance schedule in the best management plan is deemed to be in compliance with the plan). (i) Requirement for amendment to best management plan. No later than 60 days from completion of a compliance schedule in an approved best management plan or if the best management plan contains no compliance schedule, no later than 60 days from the implementation date of the best management plan, the Director shall determine whether the plan has been properly implemented. If the Director determines that NORTH CAROLINA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE D-1800-5 S 40 ENR - ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2D .1800 a plan submitted under Paragraph (h) of this Rule does not control objectionable odors from the animal operation, the Director shall require the owner or operator of the animal operation to amend the plan to incorporate additional or alternative measures to control objectionable odors from the animal operation. The owner or operator shall (1) submit a revised best management plan to the Director as soon as practical but not later than 60 days after receipt of written notification from the Director that the plan is inadequate; and (2) be in compliance with the revised plan within 30 days after the Director approves the revisions to the best management plan (compliance with an approved compliance schedule in the best management plan is deemed to be in compliance with the plan). (j) Plan failure. Any of the following conditions shall constitute failure of a best management plan: (1) failing to submit the initial best management plan required under Paragraph (h) of this Rule within 90 days of receipt of written notification from the Director that the animal operation is causing or contributing to an objectionable odor; (2) failing to submit a revised best management plan required under Paragraph (i) of this Rule within 60 days of receipt of written notification from the Director that the animal operation is causing or contributing to an objectionable odor; (3) failing to correct all deficiencies in a submitted best management plan under Rule .1803(c) of this Section within 30 days of receipt of written notification from the Director to correct these deficiencies; (4) failing to implement the best management plan after it has been approved; or (5) finding by the Director, using the criteria under Paragraph (g) of this Rule, that, after the best management plan has been implemented and revised no more than one time (voluntary revisions and revisions made pursuant to 15A NCAC 2D .1803(c) shall not be counted as revisions under this Subparagraph), the best management plan does not adequately control objectionable odors from the animal operation and will not adequately control objectionable odors even with further amendments. (k) Requirements for control technology. If a plan failure occurs, the Director shall require the owner or operator of the animal operation to install control technology to control odor from the animal operation. The owner or operator shall submit within 90 days from receipt of written notification from the Director of a plan failure, a permit application for NORTH CAROLINA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE D-1800-6 S 40 ENR - ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2D .1800 control technology and an installation schedule. If the owner or operator demonstrates to the Director that a permit application cannot be submitted within 90 days, the Director may extend the time for submittal up to an additional 90 days. Control technology shall be determined according to Subparagraph (1) of this Paragraph. The installation schedule shall contain the increments of progress described in Subparagraph (2) of this Paragraph. The owner or operator may at any time request adjustments in the installation schedule and shall in his request explain why the schedule cannot be met. If the Director -finds that the reason for not meeting the schedule is valid, the Director shall revise the installation schedule as requested; however, the Director shall not extend the final compliance date beyond 24.months from the date that the permit was first issued for the control technology. The owner or operator shall certify to the Director within five days after the deadline for each increment of progress described in Subparagraph (2) of this Paragraph whether the required increment of progress has been met. (1) Control technology. The owner or operator of an animal r operation shall identify control technologies that are technologically feasible for his animal operation and shall select the control technology or control technologies that results in the greatest reduction of odors considering human health, energy, environmental, and economic impacts and other costs. The owner or operator shall explain the reasons for selecting the control technology or control technologies. If the Director finds that the selected control technology or control technologies will effectively control odors following the procedures in 15A NCAC 2Q .0300 or .0500, he shall approve the installation of the control technology or control technologies for this animal operation. The owner or operator of the animal operation shall comply with all terms and conditions in the permit. (2) Installation schedule. The installation schedule for control technology shall contain the following increments of progress: (A) a date by which contracts for odor control technology shall be awarded or orders shall be issued for purchase of component parts; (B) a date by which on -site construction or installation of the odor control technology shall begin; (C) a date by which on -site construction or installation of the odor control technology shall be completed; and (D) a date by which final compliance shall be achieved. NORTH CAROLINA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE D-1800-7 s 4a ENR - ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2D .1800 Control technology shall be in place and operating as soon as practical but not to exceed 12 months from the date that the permit is issued for control technology. (1) New or modified animal operations. This Paragraph does not apply to activities exempted from the moratorium on construction or expansion of swine farms in S.L. 1997, c. 458, s. 1.1 provided that the owner or operator demonstrates to the Director that the activity will not result in an objectionable odor. (1) Before beginning construction, the owner or operator of a new or modified animal operation raising or producing swine shall submit and have an approved best management plan and shall meet the following: A house or Iagoon that is a component of an animal operation shall be constructed: (A) at least 1500 feet from any occupied residence not owned by the owner of the animal operation; (B) at least 2500 feet from any school, hospital, church, outdoor recreation facility, national park, State Park, historic property, or child care center; and (C) at least 500 feet from any property boundary; (2) Before beginning construction, the owner or operator of a new or modified animal operation other than swine shall submit and have an approved best management plan. (3) For new or modified animal operations raising or producing swine, the outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied that is a component of an animal operation shall be: (A) at least 75 feet from any boundary of property on which an occupied residence not owned by the owner of the animal operation is located, and (B) at least 200 feet from any occupied residence not owned by the owner of the animal operation.

The purpose of this Rule is to provide for the control and prohibition of objectionable odorous emissions. (b) Definitions. For the purpose of this Rule the following definitions shall apply: (1) "Commercial purposes" means activities that require a state or local business license to operate. (2) "Temporary activities or operations" means activities or operations that are less than 30 days in duration during the course of a calendar year and do not require an air quality permit. (c) Applicability. With the exceptions in Paragraph (d) of this Rule, this Rule shall apply to all operations that may produce odorous emissions that can cause or contribute to objectionable odors beyond the facility's boundaries. (d) Exemptions. The requirements of this Rule do not apply to: (1) processes at Kraft pulp mills identified in Rule .0528 of this Section, and covered under Rule .0524 or .0528 of this Section, (2) processes at facilities that produce feed -grade animal proteins or feed -grade animal fats and oils identified in and covered under Rule .0539, (3) motor vehicles and transportation facilities, (4) all on -farm animal and agricultural operations, including dry litter operations and operations covered under Rule .1804 of this Section, (5) municipal wastewater treatment plants and municipal wastewater handling systems, (6) restaurants and food preparation facilities that prepare and serve food on site, (7) single family dwellings not used for commercial purposes, (8) materials odorized for safety purposes, (9) painting operations that do not require a business license, or (10) all temporary activities or operations. (e) Control Requirements. The owner or operator of a facility subject to this Rule shall not operate the facility without implementing management practices or installing and operating odor control equipment sufficient to prevent odorous emissions from the facility from causing or contributing to objectionable odors beyond the facility's boundary. (f) Maximum feasible controls. If the Director determines that a source or facility subject to this Rule is emitting an objectionable odor by the procedures described in Paragraph (g) of this Rule,. the Director shall NORTH CAROLINA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE D-1800-15 S 40 ENR - ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2D .1800 emissions, with the most effective control option at the top of the - list. The list shall present all the control technologies that have not been previously eliminated and shall include the following information: (A) control effectiveness, (B) economic impacts (cost effectiveness), (C) environmental impacts: this shall include any significant or unusual other media impacts (for example, water or solid waste), and, at a minimum, the impact of each control alternative on emissions of toxic or hazardous air pollutants; (D) human health impacts, (E) energy impacts. However, an owner or operator proposing to implement the most stringent alternative, in terms of control effectiveness, need not provide detailed information concerning the other control options. In such cases, the owner or operator shall only document, to the satisfaction of the Director, that the proposed control option is indeed the most efficient, in terms of control effectiveness, and provide a review of collateral environmental impacts. (4) Evaluate most effective controls and document results. Following the delineation of all available and technically feasible control technology options under Subparagraph (b) (3) of this Rule, the energy, human health, environmental, and economic impacts shall be considered in order to arrive at the maximum feasible controls. An analysis of the associated impacts for each option shall be conducted. The owner or operator shall present an objective evaluation of the impacts of each alternative. Beneficial and adverse impacts shall be' analyzed and, if possible, quantified. If the owner or operator has proposed to select the most stringent alternative, in terms of control effectiveness, as maximum feasible controls, he shall evaluate whether impacts of unregulated air pollutants or environmental impacts in other media would justify selection of an alternative control technology. If there are no concerns regarding collateral environmental impacts, the analysis is ended and this proposed option is selected as maximum feasible controls. In the event the most stringent alternative is inappropriate, due to energy, human health, environmental, or economic impacts, the justification for this conclusion shall be fully documented; and the next most stringent option, in terms of control effectiveness, becomes the primary alternative and is similarly evaluated. This process shall NORTH CAROLINA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE D-1800-18 S 40 ENR - ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2D .1800 continue until the control technology evaluated can not be eliminated due to source -specific environmental, human health, energy, or economic impacts. (5) Select maximum feasible controls. The most stringent option, in terms of control effectiveness, not eliminated under Subparagraph (b) (4) of this Rule shall be selected as maximum feasible controls.

This Rule sets out procedures for determining maximum feasible controls for odorous emissions. The owner or operator of the facility shall be responsible for providing the maximum feasible control determination. (b) Process for maximum feasible control determinations. The following sequential process shall be used on a case -by -case basis to determine maximum feasible controls: (1) Identify all available control technologies. In the first step, all available options for the control of odorous emissions shall be listed. Available options include all possible control technologies or techniques with a practical potential to control, reduce, or minimize odorous emissions. For the purposes of this document, in some specific cases a comprehensive, effective odor control plan can be listed among the possible odor control technologies as a viable and satisfactory maximum feasible control technology option. All available control technologies shall be included on this list regardless of their technical feasibility or potential energy, human health, economic, or environmental impacts. (2) Eliminate technically infeasible options. In the second step, the technical feasibility of all the control options identified under Subparagraph (b)(1) of this Rule shall be evaluated with respect to source specific factors. A demonstration of technical infeasibility shall be clearly documented and shall show, based on physical, chemical, or engineering principles, that technical difficulties preclude the successful use of the control option under review. Technically infeasible control options shall then be eliminated from further consideration as maximum feasible controls. (3) Rank remaining control technologies by control effectiveness. All the remaining control technologies, which have not been eliminated under Subparagraph (b) (2) of this Rule, shall be ranked and then listed in order of their ability to control odorous NORTH CAROLINA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE D-1800-17 S 40 ENR - ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT 2D .1800 require the owner or operator to implement maximum feasible controls for the control of odorous emissions. (Maximum feasible controls shall be determined according to the procedures in Rule .1807 of this Section.) The owner or operator shall: (1) within 180 days of receipt of written notification from the Director of the requirement to implement maximum feasible controls, complete the determination process outlined in 2D .1807 and submit the completed maximum feasible control determination process along with a permit application for maximum feasible controls and a compliance schedule to the Division of Air Quality; the compliance schedule shall contain the following increments of progress: (A) a date by which contracts for the odorous emission control systems and equipment shall be awarded or orders shall be issued for purchase of component parts; (B) a date by which on -site construction or installation of the odorous emission control systems and equipment shall begin; (C) a date by which on -site construction or installation of the odorous emission control systems and equipment shall be completed; and (D) a date by which final compliance shall be achieved. (2) within 18 months after receiving written notification from the Director of the requirement to implement maximum feasible controls, have installed and begun operating maximum feasible controls. The owner or operator shall certify to the Director within five days after the deadline for each increment of progress in this Paragraph whether the required increment of progress has been met. (g) Determination of the existence of an objectionable odor. A source or facility is causing or contributing to an objectionable odor when: (1) A member of the Division staff determines by field investigation that an objectionable odor is present by taking into account nature, intensity, pervasiveness, duration, and source of the odor and other pertinent factors; (2) The source or facility emits known odor causing compounds such as ammonia, total volatile organics, hydrogen sulfide, or other sulfur compounds at levels that cause objectionable odors beyond the property line of that source or facility; or (3) The Division receives epidemiological studies associating health problems with odors from the source or facility or evidence of NORTH CAROLINA ADMINISTRATIVE CODE D-1800-16 S 40 5&% Bramn Road Hope N Ts NC 2B348 9,(w23,=1z Fax Toc _J�hn Has�t►__ _ Fina 910 486 0707 Phone:910AW1541 Ret _ Lagoon levels, fbDa o_ tom_____ Gallberry Consulting Services Fmm:__Kathy Dugan .- Date: 4/1 /03 cc: ( Ulm ( For RoWew ( Please Comment ( Please Reply (pleas e Recycow John, as recommended last week, this is a fapow-up on the lagoon levels reported on 3r21/03. 1- Glenn Brisson-.

Elizabethtown, NC 28377 Subject: NOTICE OF SHOW CAUSE MEETING Administrative Code 15A NCAC 2H .0217 Mitchell Norris #1 & #2 Facility No. 9-39 Bladen County Dear Mr. Norris: Recently, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality have been working with you for your permitted, NCA209039, swine farm located on Coley Rd. in Bladen County. Events of this past year have not been easy and require difficult decisions to be made. During 2003 the Mitchell Norris #1 & #2 farm has spent approximately six months of the time within the storm or structural liquid storage levels in the two lagoons. In addressing these issues this office has three primary concerns. 1. What circumstances caused or contributed to the farm being in noncompliance? 2. What actions have been taken to regain compliance? 3. How will the farm maintain compliance in the future? This in conjunction with this facilities history of compliance issues demonstrates to this office that consistent and predictable compliance with your permit has been a problem. Based on a brief file review your facility has had the following compliance history: 1. 02/25/99 NOV- Insufficient freeboard in two lagoons. 2. 03/21/00 NOV/NOI — FRO staff inspected the facility and observed wastewater ponding in the spray field and entering an adjacent pond. 3. 08/14/00 NOV — Failure to maintain waste receiving crop fields properly. 4. 10/05/00 NOD- Self reported high freeboard of 16 inches. 5. 4/17/01 Determination of Objectionable Odor by DAQ Inspections. 6. 08/20/01 NOV — Self reported high freeboard. 7. 04/15/03 NOV — Request for Information as result of self reported high freeboard. 8. 10/20/03 N�OV/NOI —Failure to notify FRO of high freeboard. — y 1 i CY - 0 3 O f 1 • INtrM N.

One element of the BMP to minimize odors, the planting of trees, has not been completed in a timely manner as outlined in the BMP. As a result of this review, the DAQ has determined that this constitutes a BMP plan failure as defined under 15 NCAC 2D. 1802 6)(4), Plan Failure. Upon a finding of plan failure, the regulations require the installation of control equipment to control odor (15 NCAC 2D. 1802(k). As part of these requirements, you are required to submit a permit application, within 90 days of receipt of this letter, to install the control equipment including a schedule for installation of the equipment. The procedural requirements are enclosed in the attached regulations (see 15 NCAC 2D. 1802(k)). Any violation of an air quality regulation is subject to the assessment of civil penalties per North Carolina General Statute 143-215.114A. This General Statute provides that civil penalties of not more than ten thousand ($10,000) may be assessed against any person who violates any classification, standard, or limitation established pursuant to General Statute 143-215.107, Air Quality Standards and Class)7cations. In addition, each day of continuing violation after written notification from the Division of Air Quality shall be considered a separate offense. Neither this letter, nor any subsequent action, absolves you from responsibility for any violation or damage to public or private property or from any enforcement action available to this agency. 1641 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1641 2728 Capital Blvd., Raleigh, North Carolina 27604 Phone: 919-733-1728 / FAX 919-733-18121 Intemet: www.ncair.org NorthCarol.ina Naturally An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer — 50% Recycled/10% Post Consumer Paper Mr. Mitchell Norris February 23, 2004 Page 2 We appreciate your prompt attention to this environmental concern.

Elizabethtown, NC 28337 Subject: Farm Status and Update Administrative Code 15A NCAC 2H .0217 Mitchell Norris #t I & # 2 Facility No. 9-39 Bladen County Dear Mr. Norris: Recently, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality have been working with you for your permitted, NCA209039, swine farm located on Coley Rd. in Bladen County. This letter serves as a follow up to the events that have occurred over the past several months. In November of 2003 staff member Larry Baxley visited your farm and became concerned about the high freeboard levels on the two lagoons. Later one of these would enter the structural storage level and stay there until aerway applications in. December lowered it to above 12" on the marker. The entry of a lagoon into the structural storage level is considered by this office an emergency situation and must be responded to within five days. Every reasonable effort must be made to achieve compliance while staying in accordance with your Permit. The options available to regain compliance are choices made by the producer and their integrator for their particular situation. Common responses are water conservation procedures within the confinement barns and weather permitting to apply wastewater to their spray fields. Another option would be to pump and haul the waste to another legal site. Culling of animals from the confinement houses and depopulation help to reduce the waste flow into the lagoon and thus the volume that has to be removed in order to achieve compliance. Modification of the CAWMP by the incorporation of more application area or the changing to better- suited crops can also be done with the help of a technical specialist. It is the opinion of this office that restocking should not occur until compliance of lagoon liquid levels have been met and hopefully somewhat exceeded. Recently, you purchased an aerway.waste application system for use on your farm. This office encourages you to continue to expand your waste handling options by all means that are in accordance with your Permit. While events of the past cannot be changed this office recognizes your recent efforts and looks ahead to working with you in the future. N. C.

The following is a brief summary of events. Note the odor assessment dates are for the dates in which the odor was `objectionable' and does not include the many investigations were the odor intensity was less. (1) 17 April 2001. Objectionable Odor Determination made by DAQ RCO and letter sent. This letter was based on data that include the odor observations made by the FRO DAQ staff. The dates that the FRO odor team documented intense/objectionable odors were February 6, 2001, March 1, 2001, March 2, 2001 and March 13, 2001. And an addendum for the odor assessment on 23 March 2001. Note: due to failed tracking of the certified mail response, no date could be proven on which Mr. Norris received his letter thus could not accurately track the 90 day requirement for a Odor Management Plan submittal. (2) 08 August 2001. After Regional Office contacts Mr. Norris and Mr. Kraig Westerbeek (Murphy Farms), DAQ received Best Management Plan. (3) 11 September 2001. Letter to Mr. Norris stating plan was inadequate and incomplete. (4) 29 October 2001. Updated Best Management Plan was received from Mr. Norris. Still did not include a schedule for implementation. Mr. Norris and Mr. Westerbeek were contacted by DAQ RCO and a schedule was requested. (5) 30 January 2002. FRO sends RCO an addendum to the investigation package. Strong odors were still being observed by the neighbors. Markus Elliott continues to investigate for FRO. Strong odors determined on: 08 January 2002, 10 January 2002, and 28 January 2002. (6) 1 May 2002. DAQ RCO sends Mr. Norris a letter notifying him of the "Completion of the Best Management Plan" timetable of six months from the date of submission of the plan. lsfv cc: FRO County File AVA� NCDENR North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Air Quality Michael F.

(i) The first investigation occurred on the evening of January 8, 2002 at approximately 8:10 PM. I was onsite for approximately 1 hour and the intensity was 3 to 4 for most of that time. (ii)The second call came in on January13, 2002 at approximately 6:30 PM. By the time I arrived the odor had dissipated and was not detectable. The wind direction had shifted and increased in speed during the twenty minutes it took me to drive to the Priest residence.

Hair since Norris Farms submitted the final management plan. (i) On January 8, 2002 Karen Priest informed me she had spoken with Alex Hair. He wanted me to stop by his residence after I left her residence. When I arrived at the Hair residence the odor intensity was approximately 4 with increases to 5. ' (ii) On January 10, 2002, at approximately 7:50 PM, I received a page from Alex. When I contacted him, he stated the odor was terrible. I proceeded to his residence. Upon arrival, odor intensity was about a 3. Mr. Hair joined me in the yard and said the odor was not as bad as earlier. (iii) A third call came the evening of January 13, 2002, at approximately 7:35 PM. I proceeded to Mr. Hair's residences to investigate. When I arrived, the odor was 5 intensity. The odor increased and declined during my visit. When I departed it was 5 intensity again. _ (iv) On January 28, at approximately 10:15 PM, I received a page from Mr. Hair. He stated that the odor was really bad. When 1 arrived I noticed the odor along Coley Road past the Norris Farm. (I was traveling north on Coley Road.) In Mr. Hair's yard, about 75 yards off Coley Road, the odor intensity was a bout 5. The odor intensity started to decline. And for about 15 minutes went away. Then the intensity started to increase and back to a 5 when I departed. I was on site for about an hour. Mr. Hair gave me his logs for the past couple of months. All incidences occurred when the wind was from the general direction of the Norris Farm. There are 'no other farms within a 1 mile radius of the Hair or Priest residences. Due to wind direction and close proximity of the Norris Farm to the Hair home, it appears that the Norris Farm is the source of the objectionable odors. A copy of the odor investigation reports are attached. I Mitchell Norris submitted an odor management plan to DAQ RCO October 2002. Based on these observations and evaluations, the plan has not been implemented or is not working. Imae Attachments cc: DAQ Central Files, RCO Paul Rawls, DWQ FRO Supervisor (w/o attachments) 1.

MANAGEMENT VWEVILLE BEG- OFFICE Per your request, I am writing you in response to your letter of July 1, 1996. The following outline explains the events leading to and immediately following the incident that occurred on my farm on Tuesday, June 25 1996: -Approximately 8:00 p.m. --I finished an irrigation routine onto a field of newly sprigged coastal bermuda. -Approximately 8:30 p.m. --Due to several factors (courtesy to neighbors, newly sprigged bermuda , and forecasts of possibly severe weather) I decided to start another irrigation routine. (This was a pull that had not been made before because there was not an actively growing crop. Also, this is the first season in which I have had a permanent irrigation system and the first season in which I have done any irrigation because the facility was new last year.) -Approximately 9:00 p.m. --I moved my irrigation equipment and pulled out the irrigation gun. After starting the pump, I went to check the system. At this point, I realized that the effluent was spraying on the state road. I immediately stopped the pump. My wife and I drove to the area on the road where the effluent had sprayed and assessed the situation. There was no ponding of runoff. -Approximately 9:45 p.m. --I went to the farm office and had Terry Tate contacted. -Approximately 10:00 p.m. --Mr. Tate called the farm and I explained to him what had just occurred. -Approximately 10:15 p.m. --Mr. Tate arrived at the farm and proceeded to make an assessment of the situation. He agreed that there was no ponding or runoff. Mr. Tate contacted Mr. Gary Scalf of the Murphy Family Farms Land and Nutrient Management Department. Mr. Scalf informed Mr. Tate that he would contact the D.E.M.'s office on Wednesday, .tune 26. • -Approximately 10:30 a.m., June 26--Mr. Scalf contacted Mr. Tate, who proceeded to leave me a message to assure me that the D.E.M. had been contacted. Throughout this incidence, I have given a great deal of thought as to how this unfortunate incident could have been avoided, and how I can prevent any further problems. I have consulted with and had a farm visit with Terry Tate. Since then, plans have been made to make measurements and mark the end of pull lanes to prevent this from happening again. Also, a detailed map has been drawn and is located at the farm. I thank you and your office for your understanding regarding this unfortunate incident and assure you that I am malting every effort to see that only the best management practices are in place. Again, thank you for your cooperation and input. Mr. Mitchell Norris CAFO COMPLAINT TO :Mitchell Norris Hog Farm Bladen County THROUGH :Ed Buchan, Water Quality Grady Dobson, Water Quality Paul s of the WQ staff was contacted at home at approximately 10:00 p.m. Tuesday June 25, 1996. The anonymous complaint indicated that the farm had/was spraying swine waste onto a nearby state road. The Complainant indicated the road was wet but no runoff was observed. Mr. Gary Scalf, Nutrient Manger, Murphy Farms contacted the Grady Dobson with FRO WQ June 26, 1996 at 10:00 to report that the overspray noted above that had occurred the previous night. Mr. Scalf was contacted by Terry Tate, Area Service Tech.. Mr. Tate had been contacted by the farmer, Mr. No to alert all concerned parties that the overspay had occurred. Mr. Norris also wanted DELI notified. The report indicated No ponding, No runoff, No surface waters were reported to be affected. 1 - 1 State of North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources Fayetteville Regional puce James B. Hunt, Jr., Governor Jonathan B. Howes, Secretary =>fi .. r . s DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT January 11, 1996 Mr. Mitchell Norris Route 1, Box 65-K Clarkton, NC 28433 SUBJECT: Norris Hog Farm Reg. # 09-39 Bladen Co. Dear .Mr. Norris, In response to a citizen's complaint, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Environmental Management inspected your animal operation and the spray field(s) serving this operation on 1/4/96. It was observed that some water appeared to have ponded in the southwest corner of your spray field adjacent to SR 1709. This ponding appears to have resulted from the construction of a earthen berm which prevented water from draining into a nearby ditch. However, a breach in the berm was fabricated which allowed some of the ponded water to flow off the field into the bordering drainage ditch. This runoff was sampled by the Bladen County Health Department and the results- did not indicate the presence of significant animal waste levels in the runoff water. It should be noted that a rain event occurred on the date of sampling. It was also observed that on the date of inspection, the ponded water did not exhibit any noticeable odor which usually characterizes the presence of animal waste. As per our conversation on 1/5/96, it is recommended that you do not spray on that portion of the field until the ground is properly graded. This is especially important during the winter months as the soil's infiltration rate is decreased and the cover crop does not uptake nutrients as rapidly which can lead to wastewater runoff. Therefore, please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes to discharge wastewater to the surface water$ of -the State without a permit. The Division of Environmental Management has the authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $10,060.00 per day per violation.

OFFICE Suite 714 WACHOVIA Building Fayetteville, NC 28301 FROM: Don Yousey, MPH Director SUBJECT: Complaint Regarding Mitchell Norris Farm Hog Waste Run - Off 1. Per our recent telephone conversation regarding the above complaint, our Environmental Health Section (EHS) took a sample of the ditch water adjacent to Mr. Norris' ILO on Colex Road in Bladen County. Please find attached a copy of the test results run for coliform. While there is no actual standard, the 17,000 result is certainly higher than one would normally expect (I am told the average for such tests is 1000). 2. 1 received another complaint about this operation on December 24th and revisited the site. It was apparent that the owner had made an effort to contain the waste water on the site. He had plowed up a wall between the drainage ditch and the spray field to hold the water in. The complainant stated that the owner had breached the wall on purpose Christmas Eve because, "He knows none of you are on duty to do anything." As stated, I did revisit the site and did in fact find that someone had taken a shovel (or some similar instrument) and cut a channel through the dirt wall to allow the waste liquid to overflow into the ditch. 3. From the amount of waste going into the ditch, it seems that too much liquid is being applied. This may be because the application plan is wrong or the soil type is now allowing the material to be used up as planned. I have no expertise. in this area and request that you look into the matter. One of the original complainants has called and is aware'of the test results. 4. Any assistance you can render in this matter will be greatly appreciated. I know that you and I felt that the test might come. back within normal limits and that would be the end of the matter. Sadly, that is not the case. Further, request that you supply us with a letter spelling out the actions you take. STATE OF WORTH CAROLINA 000869 DFr 0.895 Envirvrment.

However, a breach in the berm was fabricated which allowed some of the ponded water to flow off the field into the bordering drainage ditch. This runoff was sampled by the Bladen County Health Department and the results did not indicate the presence of significant animal waste levels in -the runoff water. It should be noted that a rain event occurred on the date of sampling. It was also observed that on the date of inspection, the ponded water did not exhibit any noticeable odor which usually characterizes the presence of animal waste. As per our conversation on 1/5/96, it is recommended that you do not spray on that portion of the field until the ground is properly graded. This is especially important during the winter months as the soil's infiltration rate is decreased and the cover crop does not uptake nutrients as rapidly which can lead to wastewater runoff. Therefore, please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes to discharge wastewater to the surface wate:r5 of' the State without a permit. The Division of Environmental Management has the authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $10,060.00 per day per violation. Wachovla Building, Suite 714, Fayetteville .

Per our recent telephone conversation regarding the above complaint, our Environmental Health Section (EHS) took a sample of the ditch water adjacent to Mr. Norris, ILO on Colex Road in Bladen County. Please find attached a copy of the test results run for coliform. While there is no actual standard, the 17,000 result is certainly higher than one would normally expect (I am told the average for such tests is 1000). 2. I received another complaint about this operation on December 24th and revisited the site. It was apparent that the owner had made an effort to contain the waste water on the site. He had plowed up a wall between the drainage ditch and the spray field to hold the water in. The complainant stated that the owner had breached the wall on purpose Christmas Eve because, "He knows none of you are on duty to do anything." As stated, I did revisit the site and did in fact find that someone had taken a shovel (or some similar instrument) and cut a channel through the dirt wall to allow the waste liquid to overflow into the ditch. 3. From the amount of waste going into the ditch, it seems that too much liquid is being applied. This may be because the application plan is wrong or the soil type is now allowing the material to be used up as planned. I have no expertise in this area and request that you look into the matter. One of the original complainants has called and is aware of the test results. 4. Any assistance you can render in this matter will be greatly appreciated. I know that you and I felt that the test might come back within normal limits and that would be the end of the matter. Sadly, that is not the case. Further, request that you supply us with a letter spelling out the actions you take. 91 D-862-6s00 130-01-500 �v PCM January 2; 1996 TO: Mr. Grady Dobson Fayetteville Region DEM ENV.

Determine the number of collection gauges and spaamg between gauges. For a wetted diameter of 320 feet„ the rain gauge spacing AKw1d not exceed 20 feet. (320 ft / 16 = 20 ft). 3. Label gauges Outward from the gun cart as either left Or right (Ll, 1,2, 1.3, etc; R1, R2, R3, etc) 4 Set out gauges along a raw as labeled and shown in Rgure 1, ecryailj► spaced at the dWmxe determined in Item 2 (20 feet). The row should be at feast one wetted diameter from either end of the pull. The first gauge on each side of the travel lane should be 1 /2 the gauge spacing from the center of the lane. For a gauge spacing of 20 feet, Ll and R1 should be 10 feet from the renter of the lame. S. Operate the system for the time required for the gun to completely pass all cOtled3on containers. Record the "startling" time that wastewater begins to be applied Wong the row of gauges and the "ending" time when wastewater no longer is being applied anywhere along the row. Also record the distance traveled in feet for the time of operation. 6. Immediately record the amounts collected in each gauge. (Refer to Table 1 for an example.) 7. Identify those gauges that fail outside the effective lame sparing, Figure 2. This volume is the overlap volume that would be collected when operating the system on the adjacent lane. S. Superimpose (left to right and vice versa) the gauges just outside the effective width with the gauges just imside the effective width. Add the volumes together. ✓ For the layout shown in Figure 2, add the volume (depth) collected in gauge R8 (Outside the effective Line spacing) to volume (depth) cogected in gauge L5 (inside the effective large spacing). Similarly, R7 is added to L6; IB is added to Its; and L7 is added to R6. This Is now the application volume (depth) within the effective lane spacing adtated for overlap.

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 inf ilitratior 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 DEM 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. WASTE UTIL17,ATION PLAN �f AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 7416 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 14090.4 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 7416 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 17056.8 lbs. PAN/year Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.

In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseec in bermudagrass), forage must be -removed through grazing, hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when 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. Aril or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere with the stand of bermudagrass. 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 time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small drain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a !height of about two inches before drilling for best results. Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended. Acreage figures may exceed total acreage in fields due to overseeding. ** lbs AW N (animal waste nitrogen) equals total required nitrogen less any commercial nitrogen (COMM N) supplied.

Actual total acres In the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. NOTE:, The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land 'application of sludge"at 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 approximately 2743.92 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This fic4ure is PAN when broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water. APPLICATION OF WASTE By IpRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irritation 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 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be within 1.7 feet of the top of the dike. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ei that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis r for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the pi application rate prior to applying the waste.

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct dischar during operation o7e land application. Any discharge of waste whi reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are sub ec to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Divisior of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field 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 MRCS with a cony 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 responsibilityof 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 number 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 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. 4. 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. 5. 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 ocpur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the MRCS Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance. 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 conditions conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application. S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Xl 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, drainageways, 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 appl.ied 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 washdown 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. 18. 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 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 imple- menting 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. PAGE WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE NAME OF FARM: OWNER / MANAGER AGREEMENT I (we) understand and will follow -mod implement the specifications and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the ap- proved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above. I (we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and/or storage system or construction of new facilities will require a new utilization plan and a new certification to be submitted to DEM before the new animals are stocked. I fwe) 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 mn a 25-year 1-day storm event. I also cer- tify that the waste will be applied on the land according to this plan at the appropriate times and at rates that no runoff occurs.

The time required for the planned _:.fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary ',.-due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount fresh water added to the system. The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for: (1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also included is storage for the 25 year -- 24 hour storm for the location. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to 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 at the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth. Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two elevations for operating -convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order -to -apply waste without runoff or leaching. Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of'. -disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out: 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 applications. 3. Begin temporary storage pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches the elevation 99.3 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump - out when the fluid level reaches elevation 96.2 . This temporary storage, less 25 yr- 24 hr storm, contains 174725 cubic feet or 1306942 gallons. IqW r' 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• Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details. 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. 6. 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. 8. 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. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right—of—ways. 9. The Glean 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. .• SPECIFICATIONS FOR C13NSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS FOUNDATION PREPARATION: The foundation area of. the lagoon embankment and building pad Shall be cleared of trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush, boulders, sod and rubbish. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoil from 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 excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines, grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen soil, stones over 6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent 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 will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading equipment or standard tamping roller or other equivalent method. Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectible. MOTE 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 excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for settlement. Dikes over 15 feet 'in height and with an impoundment capacity of 10 acre—feet or more fall under the jurisdiction of the NC Dam Safety Law. The height is defined as the difference in elevation from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike. Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.9 ft. NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERIAL IS 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 specified depth as measured perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall be backfilled 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. �i G Ur C Sail liner material shall come from an approved borrow area. The Minimum water content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture pontent which relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneaded in the hand it will form a ball which does not readily separate. Water §hall be added to borro4 as necessary to insure proper moisture content during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner Material shall not be less than optimum water content during placement. The maximum water content relates to the soil material being too wet for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Proper compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and pompacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum ASTM D698 Dry Unit Weight of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous lift #hall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement of the next jift. fhe single most important factor affecting the overall compacted perme— gbility of a clay liner, other than the type of clay used for the liner, is the efficient construction processing of the compacted liner. fhe sequence of equipment use and the routing of equipment in an estab— lished pattern helps assure uniformity in the whole placement and t-ompaction process. For most clay soils, a tamping or sheepsfoot roller is the preferable type of compaction equipment. -jhe soil liner shall be protected from the discharge of waste outlet pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator(rocks) yr using flexible outlets on waste pipes. �Jlternatives to soil liners are synthetic litters and bentonite sealant. 0hen these are specified, additional construction specifications are )ncluded with this Construction Specification. r,;IJTOFF TRENCH: ------------- F; cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when yhown on a typical cross section in the plans. The final depth of the r•utaff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation materials. QFGETAT I ON : 11 exposed embankment and other~ bare constructed areas shall be seeded o the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construc— ion according to the seeding specifications. Topsoil should be placed n areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch hall be used if the recommended permanent vegetation is out of season ates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should be established as soon s possible during the next period of approved seeding dates. AL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS -------------------------- en tile drains are encountered, the the will be removed to a minimum 10 feet beyond the outside toe of slope of the dike.

The minimum water content of 'the liner material shall be optimum moisture, • content which relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneaded in the hand it will form a ball which does not readily separate. Water shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture content during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner material shall not be less than optimum water content during placement. The maximum water content relates to the soil material being too wet for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Proper 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 previous lift shall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement of the next lift. The single most .important factor affecting the overall compacted perme- 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 soil liner shall be prote:-`-,d from the discharge of waste outlet pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator(rocks) or using flexible outlets on waste pipes. Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite �_e-.Iant. 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 when shown on a typical cross section in the plans. The final depth of the clstoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation materials. VEGETATION: All exposed embankment and-other,bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after. construe-- tion according to the seeding specifications. Topsoil should be placed on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Teaporary seeding or mulch 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 next period of approved seeding dates. REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS ------------------------------ When the drains are encountered, the tile will be removed to a minimum of 10 feet beyond the outside toe of slope of the dike. The tile trench shall be backfilled and compacted with good material such as SC, CL, or CH. M MCiP 16 ' 94 1 7":"-9 �� W PAGE. 00? UNIFY m STATES SOIL, i . Scivice Ctr.

It is especially important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and wet periods. Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for 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 (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to maintain the Iagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste utilization plan will allow it. Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to irrigate does not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet.periods. Overflow from the.lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of state law and subject to penalty action. 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 r.. covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10--10-10, or equivalent. Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of these practices. This should be done at least once a year and possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for heavy vegetative growth. NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating the waste. Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be checked should include, as a minimum, the following: - Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes ---look for: I. separation of joints 2. cracks or breaks 3. accumulation of salts or minerals 4. overall condition of pipes 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. FilI new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of Water before waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes. 3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible: pipe extender on the end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of the lining. 4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather). 5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon liquid volume. 'This seeding should occour at least two weeks prior to the addition of wastewater. 6. Maintain a periodic check on the Iagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below 7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of latD goon 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 warm season. Loading: The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained and recharged each day, also work well. Practice water conservation --minimize building water usage and spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenance and water conservation. Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon Management: Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and the full temporary storage level. Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1). Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly, irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter. The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest point of the dam or embankment. Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage level unless you are removing sludge. Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible. Prevent additions of bedding materials, Ion, -stemmed forage or vegetation, molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon. Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or wherever they are installed. Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges. Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment. Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is full or before it fills 50 percent 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 Iong 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 forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate. Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby,cropland or forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline 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 forageland; and soil 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. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3. When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. CIose attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic Iiner 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 soil -test phosphores, it should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value. The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site. Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which could increase the concern of neighbors. Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for ensuring structure safety. items- which may lead to lagoon failures include: Modification of the lagoon structure ---an example is the placement of a pipe in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams.) Lagoon liquid Ievels---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_ sIudge removal, or rupture*from lowering lagoon liquid Ievel below groundwater table. NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon cause gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large discharge of wastewater and possible dam failure. System Calibration Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular, pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use, nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter. You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the application uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application uniformity. For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used provided the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring. For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly throughout the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both sides of the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for all nonuniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation dealer or technical specialist -for assistance.

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 infilitration 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 DEM 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. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 7416 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hags/year = 14090.4 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR PAGE 2 74:16 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 17056.8 lbs. PAN/year Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirments. Beginning in 1996 the Coastal Zone Management Act will require farmers in some eastern counties -of NC to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses Nitrogen. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN TABLE 2: ACRES WITH AGREEMENT OR LONG TERM LEASE (Agreement with adjacent landowners must be attached.)

In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseed in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing, hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when 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. April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere with the stand of bermudagrass. 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 time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small drain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a -height of about two inches before drilling for best results. Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended. * Acreage figures may exceed total acreage in fields due to overseeding. ** lbs AW N (animal waste nitrogen) equals total required nitrogen less any commercial nitrogen (CoMM N) supplied.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. NOTE:_ The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land 'application of sludge 'at 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 approximately 2743.92 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge. �• WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE t See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water. 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. Theapplication 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 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be within 1.7 feet of the top of the dike. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to en that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis rE for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the pr( application rate prior to applying the waste.

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation cdr land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subiec to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental. Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field 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 cony 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 update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number 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 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. 4. 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. 6. 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 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 conditions conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. 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, drainageways, 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 washdown 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. 18. 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 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 imple- menting 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.
