Harrells, NC 28444; Bladen County (910) 58"88 Wean - FAeder 2600 The waste from your animal facility mast be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limlting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each applica9tion 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 crap can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different Infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons 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 OEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems, To maximize the value of 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. The estimated acres; needed to apply the animal waste Is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be used 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 1 SA NCAC 2H.0217'.adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water Is prohlbitetf. There must be documentation In the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shelf provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who Is within a reasonable proximity, allowing himther the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there Is a change In the operation, Increase in the 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 soli type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding lose than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are Installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strip). 5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or dlaking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there Is danger of drift from the Irrigation field. 6 When animal waste Is to be Applied on acres subject to 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" far guidance.) 7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff; does not occur offaite or to surface waters and In a method which does not cause drift from the site during application, No ponding should occur in order to Control odor or flies. 8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface Is frozen.

The General Permit was issued in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733 (Session Law 2003-28). In accordance with your application received on March 10, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Troy D. Votaw, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS090059 which expires October 1, 2004, This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Husker Farm, located in Bladen County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 2600 Wean to Feeder swine and the application to land as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). if this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009. Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals. Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Since this is a revised State General Permit, it contains new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the previous State General Permit.

Harrells, NC 28444; Bladen County TELEPHONE; (910) 5084286 TYPE OPERATION: Wean - Feeder NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 2600 (Design Cepac4) Tho waste from your animal fadllty must be lend applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutriente in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commerclel 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 test@ are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for reallsuc 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 then the c►op can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different Infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater then 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is reining, or when the surface is frozen. EM*r 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 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. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste Is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements 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 1 SA NCAC 21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

P.O. Box 759 Rose Hill, NC 28458 Farm Operator: Date: Billy McGavock 02/10/94 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) with minimum odor control. The time required for the planned fluid level to be reached (permanent + temporary storage) may vary due to soil conditions, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. The designed S months temporary storage is an estimated volume based on: 1) waste from animals : 2) excess rainfall after evaporation and 3) the largest 24 hour (one day) rainfall that occurs on the average of once every 25 years. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year. Page 1 This estimate is based on 7.0 inches of excess rainfall which is equal to or exceeds the highest S months excess in a year. The average annual excess rainfall is approximately 8 inches. Therefore, an average of 8 inches of excess rainfall will need to be pumped each year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available. A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from the building(s). If the outlet pipe is not installed on the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed on this elevation to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain the minimum treatment depth of 6 feet. Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without runoff or leaching. Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot guns and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops. MURPHY FARMS, INC. P.O. Box 759 Rose Hill, NC 28458 Farm Operator: Billy McGavock OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN (continued) ----------------------- The following items are to be carried out: Page 2 It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be precharged to 1/2 of its capacity to prevent excessive odors during start—up. Precharging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon, thereby reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete, flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after initial filling. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment) before land application. 3. Begin pump —out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches elevation "101.55 feet as marked by the permanent marker. Stop pump —out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches elevation 99.70 feet or before the fluid depth is less than '6.20 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable bacteria). The designed temporary storage volume less the 25 year -- 24 hour storm volume is 33,388 cubic feet or 249,743 gallons. As stated before, this volume will vary considerably from year to year. 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 inches per hour. 5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. 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. 9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law. M.URpHY FARMS, INC. P.O.

The estimated high water table elevation = 97.0 Feet, +/— Using the Unified Classification System, the results of the borings are as follows: Boring #1: 0 Ft. — 1 Ft. — SM material (silty sand) 1 Ft. — 2 Ft. — SC material (clayey sands; sand —clay mixtures) 2 Ft. -- 3 Ft. — SC,CL materials (clayey sands; clay mixtures) 3 Ft. — 4 Ft. — CL material (clays of low plasticity) 4 Ft. — 5 Ft. — SC,CL materials (clayey sands; clay mixtures) 5 Ft. — 9 Ft. — SC material (clayey sands; sand —clay mixtures) 9 Ft. — 10 Ft. - SC,SM materials (clayey sands; silty sands) 10 Ft. --- 11 Ft. — SM,CL materials (silty sands; clay mixtures) 11 Ft. — 12 Ft. — CL material (clays of low plasticity) Based on the results of these borings, MOST of the soils available on this site are suitable suitable to be used as embankment material for the lagoon site. A suitable clay material (ie — SC,CL) for the liner will be required. ` MURPHY FARMS, INC. P.O. Box 759 Rose Hill, NC 28458 Farm Operator: .

Ross, Jr., Secretary Alan Klimek, P.E., Director Date: 01/30/2002 To: Keith Overcash c/o Gary Saunders, RCO TSB Through: Steven Vozzo From: Markus Elliott Re: Addendum to FRO Request for Odor Determination for DAQ FRO Biaden County Case # 02 The attached information is additional compilation of data regarding odors emitted by Husker Farm 9a59, Terra Nova Farm 9al32, ABK Farm 9al50, Cyclone Farm 9al76 and David Gooden Farm 9a210, located on or near Rosindale Road in Bladen County, NC. The following is a timetable of events related to Norris Farms: 1. 26 June 2001— A request for an odor determination was submitted by FRO to RCO. The FRO requests the attached additional information be used to evaluate Husker Farm 9a59, Terra Nova Farm 9al32, ABK Farm 9al50 and Cyclone Farm 9al76 as the source of animal operation odor affecting this community. Since the final odor determination has not been made by RCO, we request that David Gooden Farm 9a210 be removed from consideration as the source of objectionable odor at this time. This additional information was collected after the mentioned Request for Odor Determination was submitted. After further evaluation of the case it is determined that Gooden Farm 9a210 is probably not contributing to objectionable odor evaluated at three residence on Coley Road. During the last three observations at the Huggins residence odor was not detected from the direction of David Gooden Farm 9a210. Since the Request for determination was submitted, 1, Markus Elliott, have made four trips by the residences on Coley and detected an odor on three occasions (8 Jan 02, 13 Jan 02, and 28 Jan 02). Each of the three has had an intensity of 5. These complainants have maintained logs to determine the frequency of the odor. The enclosures are the documentation of my observations and I request that they be used in the odor evaluation.

In one incident the wind drift was from the NE to ENE. The four farms indicated are arranged in directions that create a more than normal occurrence of objectionable odor at one or more of the residence cited in the request. There are four farms, less than one mile from the complainants' homes, sited south, south-southeast, and north east of the complainants. All incidences occurred when the wind was from the general direction of one or more of the farms. Due to wind direction and close proximity of the farms to the complainants' homes, it appears that the farms are the source of the objectionable odors. lmae Attachments cc: (w/o attachments) DAQ Central Files, RCO Paul Rawls, DWQ FRO Supervisor North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Water Pollution Control System Operator Certification Commission Michael F.

This legislation requires owner of a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more swine, 100 or more confined cattle, 75 or more horses, 1,000 or more sheep, or 30,000 or more confined poultry with a liquid waste management system. Our records indicate that the operator designated as the Operator In Charge (OIC) for your animal waste management system is no longer certified. Therefore, you must designate a properly certified animal waste management system operator as the OIC for your facility. The enclosed designation form must be returned to this office by April 1, 2001. This office maintains a list of certified operators in your area if you need assistance in locating a certified operator. Failure to designate a properly certified Operator in Charge for your facility is a violation of N.C.G.S. 90A-47.2 and 15A NCAC 8F .0201(a) and may result in the initiation of enforcement action. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as resolving you of the responsibility and liability for any past or future violations for your failure to have a properly certified Operator in Charge designated for your animal waste management system.
