Stevens, Director of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ), make the following: I. FI11;DINGS OF FACT: A. The Turnbull Company, LLC owns and operates the Turnbull Company Farms, LLC, a swine operation in Bladen County. W. Robert Livingston, Jr. the registered agent for The Turnbull Company, LLC. B. W. Robert Livingston, Jr. obtained Certificate of Coverage AWS090107 under General Permit AWG 100000 on June 26, 1998, effective June 26, 1998, with an expiration date of April 30, 2003. C. Condition No. V. 3. of the "General Conditions" of the issued permit states in part that "The maximum waste Ievel in lagoons/storage ponds shall not exceed that specified in the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). At a minimum, maximum waste level for lagoons/storage ponds must not exceed the level that provides adequate storage to contain the 25-year, 24-hour storm event plus an additional one (1) foot of structural freeboard." D. The 25-year, 24-hour storm event for the facility's location is between six and a half (6.5) and seven (7) inches according, to the National Weather Service, Technical Paper 40, RainfaIl Frequency Atlas of the United States, 1961. E. Condition No. III. 6. e. of the "Monitoring and Reporting Requirements" of the issued permit requires that the permittee shall report by telephone to the appropriate Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of the occurrence of failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage pond greater than or equal to that required in Condition V. 3. of the issued permit. F. In accordance with their permit, Turnbull Company Farms, LLC notified the Fayetteville Regional Office on January 28, 2000 that the waste levels of the lagoons were seven (7) and eighteen (18) inches. G. The costs to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $153.04. Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following: H. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: A. The Turnbull Company, LLC and W. Robert Livingston Jr. are "persons" within the meaning of G.S. 143-215.6A pursuant to G.S. 143-212(4). B.

PURPOSE To biologically treat organic waste, reduce pollution, and protect the environment. CONDITIONS WHERE PRACTICE APPLIES This practice applies where: (1) an overall waste management system has been planned; (2) waste generated by agricultural production or processing needs treatment; (3) soils are suitable for retaining the waste or can be sealed; and (4) where livestock are concentrated. This standard establishes the minimum acceptable requirements for design, construction, and operation of waste treatment lagoons. Embanianents are limited to hazard class (a). EXHIBIT S E 359-1 This. standard does not apply to .waste storage ponds or to waste storage structures. _ CRITERIA Location. The lagoon should be located near the source of waste and as far from neighboring dwellings as practical. If possible, locate the lagoon where prevailing winds will carry odors away from residences and public areas. Runoff from outside drainage areas should not enter the lagoon. The lagoon shall not be located in a flood plain unless it is protected from inundation or damage by a flood event that occurs once every 25 years. Minimum distance from wells and other water sources must be in compliance with state and local ordinances. It is the responsibility of the designer to ensure that current state and local distance requirements are met. The following table shows minimum distances. Conservation practice standards are reviewed periodically, and updated if needed To obtain the current version of this standard, contact the Natural Resources Cortservation Service Computer File:359.doc/dir% in%vord/cooper/tech NRCS, NC DECENBER, 1996 Rev. 3 359-2 Minimum Distance Table for all Animals Except Swine Facilities Sited Under General Statute 106-801 thru 805 Public or Private use Facilities ' I ' .

Form NC-CPA-17 maybe used_ When requested by the technical specialist, the owner shall furnish the distance from nearest residences or other private or public use facilities. At the discretion of the NRCS, NC DECEMBER, 1996 Rev. 3 359-8 Mechanically aerated lagoons using floating surface aerator technology for odor control are designed to satisfy 50% of the waste COD based on an oxygen transfer rate of 3 lbs per horsepower -hour and require 1000 fl . of'surface area maximum per horsepower of aeration. Refer to the design procedures provided in the Agricultural Waste Management Field Handbook or to Cooperative Extension Service Research Data. Alternate aeration waste treatment. technologies should be planned, installed, -and - operated according to proper design and operating procedures. Sludge Any anaerobic lagoon will accumulate significant amounts of sludge regardless of the bacterial digestion efficiency. This accumulation of sludge in time will diminish the treatment rapacity of the lagoon unless the lagoon is designed with enough storage capacity to avoid having to remove the bottom sludge throughout the life of the lagoon. Table 2 shows the required volume for sludge accumulation in anaerobic lagoons. The volume of sludge storage required in Table 2 is equal to approximately 5 years accumulation. Sludge storage is required in the lagoon design. The amount of sludge accumulation shall be calculated and included in the producer's Waste Utilization Plan. The plan will include a statement that sludge should be tested before land application. The Waste Utilization Plan will include the number of acres required for land application of sludge in the future based on current agronomic rates_ Waste Starnae Volume. The maximum operating level shall be set to provide the designed loading (treatment volume)plus a volume sufficient to store the following: 1. Manure and waste «ater' 2. Excess wash water 3. Normal precipitation Iess evaporation on lagoon surfacer 4. Solids accumulatioh2 '-Accumulated between periods of drawdown '`For the period between solids or sludge removal Mechanically aerated lagoons are designed on the basis ofBOD, or ultimate BOD loading and on . the basis of the equipment manufacturer's performance data for oxygen transfer and mixing. - If used for odor control, aeration equipment shall provide a minimum of 0.5 kg (1 lb) of oxygen for each half kilogram (pound) of BOD5 contributed daily. For complete treatment; refer to the design procedures provided in the Agricultural Waste Management Field Handbook. The maximum operating level shall be sufficient distance below any automatic outflow device, pipe or emergency spillway to provide storage for the 25 year, 24-hour precipitation on the lagoon surface plus a heavy rainfall -equal to or greater than an additional 25-year, 24-bour storm. The maximum operating Ievel shall be marked with a highly visible marker set in the lagoon. The minimum operating level after drawdown should normally be that level needed for the design loading (treatment volume plus sludge) except when the lagoon is in drawdown to permit sludge removal or addition of dilution water. This level shall be marked with a highly visible marker. Temporary Storage Volume In addition to the required treatment volume, waste treatment lagoons shall be provided with temporary storage. The volume of temporary storage provided shall be consistent with the NRCS, NC SEPTEMBER, 1996 Rev. 2 • �7 r '�, 359-9 planned pumping interval incorporated into the except when special management practices or waste'utilization plan. In soils with high water techniques permit otherwise. tables all temporary storage shall be above the seasonal high water table.

If freezing is a problem, the inlet shall consist of a pipe having a minimum diameter of 6 inches and a minimum slope of 1 percent, except that a minimum diameter of 4 inches may be used for milking center waste. The inlet pipe shall terminate a sufficient distance from the shoreline to insure good distribution. It should be far enough below the surface to avoid freezing or be provided with other protective measures. Access should be provided to the pipe for nodding in case of blockage. Inlet Pipes Pipes that convey waste from the houses to the lagoon shall be designed and installed in a manner that will prevent erosion of the lagoon side slope. This will be accomplished by extending the pipe beyond the slope of the lagoon, and discharging the waste below the surface. Other Pipes .,.....:..•..v ..:_.:.. �:_......... _ _ Pipes such as those that are used for recycling effluent to use as flush water and irrigation intakes shall be placed as far from the inlet pipes as possible in order to provide.a cleaner efOuent for flushing and to reduce odors when irrigating on Iand. • 359-11 When these pipes are to be placed through the embankment the location and method of installation shall be approved by the designer of the embankment or. a technical specialist designated by the soil and water conservation commission to design and approve waste treatment lagoons. Installation shall be certified by the technical specialist: Emergency Spillways ......... Lagoons with an outside drainage area having a maximum design liquid level of 3 feet or more above natural ground shall be provided with an emergency spillway. The crest of the emergency spillway shall be located at the same elevation as the top. of the 25-year, 24 hour storm storage. The emergency spillway shall be placed in undisturbed soil when possible. When it must be placed in fill -material, precautions shall be taken to insure the integrity of the structure. The emergency spillway shall pass a 25-year, 24- hour storm without over topping the embankment. There shall be a minimum of 1 foot of freeboard above the designed depth of flow in the emergency spillway. Where lagoons empty into waste storage ponds or secondary Iagoons and the liquid level is positively controlled by an adequately sized overflow pipe, no emergency spillway is required for the primary lagoon. All Iagoons with I million cubic feet of Waste Storage Volume (volume below ma:,dmum - - - � - - ­`. elevation for pump ON) shall have an emergency spillway. Lagoons without an outside drainage area and less than 1 million cubic & of Waste Storage Volume are not required to have an emergency.spilhvay; however, the landowner shall be given the option to install an emergency_ spillway to prevent catastrophic occurrences. MRCS, NC DECENMER, 1996 Rev. 3 359-12 Other Outlets Where excess effluent is not to be removed from the lagoon by pumping, an overflow pipe shall be installed to discharge into another lagoon or a waste storage pond. The overflow pipe shall have a minimum diameter of 6 inches and shall have sufficient capacity to prevent over topping of the lagoon during peak inflow periods. : The overflow pipe shall be installed so that effluent is discharged from a minimum of 6 inches below the surface. An "elbow" or "tee" pipe fitting or similar device on the inlet end of the overflow pipe may be used for this purpose. When pumps and sumps are needed to lift waste from a Iower elevation to a higher elevation, provisions must be made to prevent overflow of the sump in case of power or pump failure. The sump shall be covered or fenced for safety. . Protection If the lagoon will create a safety hazard, it shall be fenced and warning signs posted to prevent children and others from using it for purposes other than intended. The lagoon shall be fenced, if necessary, to protect the vegetation and the embanlanent. Erosion and Sediment Control Measures Plans for waste treatment lagoons shall include temporary measures for the control of erosion and sedimentation during the construction period. Such measures shall be maintained for efficient operation. Permanent vegetation shall be established on all disturbed areas in compliance with Critical Area Treatment standards (342-I1) of the Technical Guide. CONSIDERATIONS If the embankment is over 15 feet high and impounds over I0-acre feet of effluent, a permit must be obtained as required by the North Carolina Dam Safety Law. Types Waste treatment lagoons are of three general types --anaerobic, naturally aerobic, and _ mechanically aerated. Anaerobic Iagoons require less surface area than naturally aerobic Iagoons but may give off odors. Naturally aerobic lagoons are relatively odor free. Mechanically aerated Iagoons are comparable in size to anaerobic lagoons and are generally odor free, but they require energy for aeration. Anaerobic lagoons are most commonly used for livestock waste treatment. Since the anaerobic process is not dependent on maintaining frer oxygen, lagoons can be deeper and require less surface area. Anaerobic decomposition of livestock waste can result in the production and emission of odorous gases; however, an anaerobic lagoon that is properly sized can be managed to keep odors to a minimum. Figure A is an example of a typical anaerobic lagoon. Naturally aerobic lagoons tend to be relatively odor free because bacterial digestion tends to be more complete. Aerobic Iagoons are designed on the basis of surface area instead of volume. Aerobic lagoons may require up to 25 times as much land area as anaerobic lagoons and are usually not recommended for livestock and poultry waste treatment in North Carolina because of space requirements. NRCS, NC DECElv1BER. 1996 Rev. r, V Mechanically aerated Iagoon combine the best features of aerobic and anaerobic; that is, good odor control with small surface area requirements. They may also be used for nitrogen removal where Iand area for disposal is limited. The major disadvantage of mechanically aerated lagoons is the high cost of electric energy for continuous operation of the aerators. Due consideration should be given to facility.-... access, ease of loading and unloading wastes; the overall'waste management plan, and health and safety factors. Non -polluted runoff shall be excluded from the Iagoon if not included in the design capacity. The Waste- Treatment Lagoon should be located so that prevailing winds, vegetative screening, and building arrangement minimize odor and visual resource problems. �Solids relnOVa1 To reduce sludge buildup, remove solids from waste of animals, such as dairy cattle, fed high roughage rations. A solids trap or a separator . may be provided between the waste sources and the lagoon- This may be a concrete or earth - structure that can be emptied periodically. The sizing of these structures will be such that a waste utilization plan can be developed. If earth strictures are used, a minimum of two should be planned so that one can be dried and cleaned while the other is functioning. Organic nitrogen compounds and phosphorous compounds tend to accumulate in sludge. In addition to nitrogen Ievels up to 13 times higher than lagoon liquid and phosphorous levels up to 43 times higher than lagoon liquid concentrations, sludge may also contain significant levels of heavy metals, salts, and other trace elements. 359-13 PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS Plans and specifications for installing waste treatment lagoons shall be in keeping with this standard and shall describe the requirements for applying the practice to achieve its intended purpose. Plans and specifications for a -A=e treatment lagoon will only be prepared vwhen it is a part of a complete waste management system including a waste utilization plan: OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE A written Operation and Maintenance (0 & M) PIan shall be prepared for each lagoon. The 0 & M Plan -shall be incorporated into the design prepared for the Waste Management System. A copy will be given to the landowner and discussed with him. As a minimum, the 0 &.

(Note: A more detailed plan may be required if controlling nutrient is other than N.) 2. Precharge with a volume of -water equal to one-half of the treatment volume before wastes are introduced. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the upper and lower elevations of the Temporary Storage (pumping Volume). Pumping shall be done as necessary to maintain the liquid level between these markers. MRCS, NC DECE_NMER, 1996 Rev. 3 359-14 4.

An inspection of the waste collection, treatment, and storage structures and runoff control measures shall be conducted at a frequency to insure proper operation but at least monthly and after storm events. For example, lagoons, storage ponds, and other structures should be inspected for evidence of erosion, leakage, damage by animals or discharge. Any major structural repairs (to lagoons or waste storage ponds) must have written documentation from a technical specialist certifying proper design and installation. However, if a piece of equipment is being replaced with a piece of equipment of the identical specifications, no technical specialist approval is necessary [i.e. piping, reels, valves, pumps (if the GPM capacity is not being increased or decreased), etc.]. 3 2. If not already installed at this facility, a waste -level gauge to monitor waste Ievels shall b• installed within 60 days of issuance of the COC under this general permit. This gauge shall have readily visible permanent markings indicating the maximum liquid level at the top of the temporary liquid storage volume, minimum liquid level at the bottom of the temporary liquid storage volume, top of the dam elevations. Where storage ponds are utilized, only a gauge indicating the maximum liquid Ievel at the top of the temporary liquid storage volume and top of dam elevations need be installed. Caution must be taken not to damage the integrity of the liner when installing the gauge. Waste lagoon and storage pond levels shall be recorded weekly on forms supplied or approved by the DWQ. For level gauges already installed, the gauge shall have at a minimum: readily visible permanent markings indicating the maximum liquid level at the top of the temporary liquid storage volume and minimum liquid level at the bottom of the temporary liquid storage volume. 3. ' A representative Standard Soil Fertility Analysis, including pH, copper, and zinc, shall be conducted annually on each application field receiving animal waste. The results of these tests shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for a minimum of three years and shall be made available to the DWQ upon request. 4.

This analysis shall include the following parameters: Nitrogen Zinc • Phosphorous Copper 5. Records, including land application event(s) and removal of solids to an off -site location(s) records, shall be maintained by the Permittee in chronological and legible form for a minimum of three years. These records shall be maintained on forms provided or approved by the DWQ and shall be readily available for inspection. 6. Regional Notification: ' The Permittee shall report by telephone to possible, but in no case more than 24 hours of any of the following events: the appropriate Regional Office as soon as following first knowledge of the occurrence a. Failure of any component of the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system resulting in a discharge to surface waters. b. Any failure of the animal waste treatment and disposal system that renders the facility incapable of adequately receiving, treating or storing the animal waste and/or sludge. c. A spill or discharge from a vehicle transporting animal waste or sludge to the land application field which results in, a discharge to surface waters or an event that poses a serious threat to surface waters. d. Any deterioration or leak in a lagoon/storage pond that poses an immediate threat to the environment. 0 4 e. Failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage greater than or equal to that . required in Condition V (3) of this General Permit. f. Overapplying animal waste either in excess of the limits set out in the CAWMP or where runoff enters surface waters. g• Any discharge that bypasses a lagoon./storage pond resulting in a discharge to surface waters or that poses a serious threat to the environment.. For any emergency which requires immediate reporting after normal business hours, please contact the Division of Emergency Management at I-800-858-0368. The Permittee shall also file a written report to the appropriate DWQ Regional Office of the occurrence within 5 calendar days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report shall outline the actions taken or proposed to be taken to correct the problem and to ensure that the problem does not recur. The requirement to file a written report may not be waived by the DWQ Regional Office. IV. INSPECTIONS Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the DWQ may, upon presentation of credentials and in accordance with reasonable- and. appropriate biosecurity measures, enter and inspect any property, premises or place on or related to the collection, treatment, storage and land application system at any reasonable time for the purpose of determining compliance with this permit; may inspect and obtain a copy of any records that must be kept under the terms and conditions of this permit; and may obtain samples of the animal waste, groundwater, soil, plant tissue, or surface water. V. GENERAL CO_NDITTONS 1. The issuance of a COC under this permit shall not relieve: the Permittee of the responsibility for damages to surface waters or ground waxers resulting from the animal operation. 2. The Permittee shall designate a certified animal waste management system operator to be in charge (01C) of the animal waste management system- The: animal waste management system shall be operated by the OIC or a person under the OIC's supervision. 3. The maximum waste level in lagoons/storage ponds shall not. exceed that specified in the CAWNIP. At a n- inimum, maximum waste level for lagoons/storage ponds must not exceed the level that provides adequate storagq to contain- the. 25-year, 24-Dour storm event plus an additional I foot of structural freeboard- I= addition to the above requirements, for new and expanding farms with lagoorr designs completed after September 1, 1996, storage must also be provided for the heavy rainfall factor for lagoons without an outside drainage area. In the case of la goons/starage_ponds in series that are gravity fed, the 25-year,- 24-hour storm event and/or the heavy rainfall factor storage requirements for the system may be . designed into the lowest lagoon/storage pond in the- system_ However, adequate freeboard must be designed into each of the upper lagoons/storage ponds to allow sufficient storage to prevent the waste level from raising.into. the structural freeboard while the storm water is draining into the lowest lagoon'in the system- 5 4. Should the DWQ have good reason to believe that any activities conducted pursuant to this permit may cause or contribute any waste, directly or indirectly, to be intermixed with the waters of the State, the DWQ may require any monitoring (including but not limited to groundwater, surface water, animal waste, sludge, soil and plant tissue) necessary to determine the source, quantity, quality, and effect of such waste upon the waters of the State. Such monitoring, including its scope, frequency, duration and any sampling, testing, and reporting systems, shall meet all applicable Environmental Management Commission requirements. "Good Reason" may be based on the findings of a related Federal, State, Commission or DENR authorized study or report, or other evidence showing that violations of State water quality standards or other applicable environmental standards have occurred or may occur. 5. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this permit, the facility's CAWMP and/or any COC issued under this permit may subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the DWQ in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes and may include the requirement to obtain an individual non -discharge permit and/or the modification of the animal waste management system 6. The issuance of a COC under this permit does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances (local, state, and federal). 7. If ar irnal production ceases, the Pern ittee shall close the lagoons/storage ponds in accordance with Natural Resource Conservation Service (MRCS) lagoon/storage pond closure standards or develop and implement an animal waste management plan in S accordance with NRCS standards. Closure shall also include notifying the DWQ and submittal of the Animal Waste Storage Pond and Lagoon Closure Report Form to DWQ- Water Quality Section- Non -Discharge Branch within 15 days of completion of closure. 8. The annual permit fee shall be paid by the Permittee within thirty (30) days after being billed by the Division. Failure to pay the fee accordingly constitutes grounds for revocation of the COC granting coverage under this General Permit. 9. Failure of the Permittee to maintain, in full force and effect, lessee and landowner agreements which are required in the CAW"NIP, shall constitute grounds for revocation of the COC granting coverage under this General PermiL 10. This permit allows for the distribution of manure up to 4 cubic yards per visit to individuals for personal use. • G 11. The Groundwater Compliance Boundary for the disposal system constructed after • December 31, 1983, is established at either (1) 250 feet from the waste structures and from the waste disposal area, or (2) 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is closest to the waste structures and the waste disposal area. if this facility was constructed prior to December 31, 1983, the Compliance Boundary is established at either (1) 500 feet from the waste disposal area, or (2) at the property boundary, whichever is closest to the waste disposal area. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to the requirements of 15A NCAC 2L and the Division in addition to the penalty provisions applicable under the North Carolina General Statutes.

It was observed that a suitable cover grass needs to be established in bare areas of the lagoon dike. It was also observed that the certified animal waste management plan (CAWMP) had recently been modified to require bermuda grass on the majority of the waste application fields. The grass was poor to none;dstent and the fields were predominantly overgrown with competitive grasses (nut sedge, crabgrass, signal grass, etc.) . In regard to the deficiencies noted during the inspection, the following actions are requested: L Consult with a technical specialist for assistance in regard to removal of the grass competition and the evaluation of the bermuda sprigs. Due to the extremely hot and dry conditions tins spring the establishment of sixty plus acres of bermuda grass from sprigs may be impossible.

What is the degree and extent of harm to the natural resources ofthe State, public health, or to private property resulting from the violation? The discharge has caused the introduction of nutrients into the receiving waters, that will cause or add to the _possibility -of al —al blooms and accelerated eutrophication of the stream. There are no known public health issues at this time. Waste discharges of this nature may, based on comments from Dr. M.A. Mixson, North Carolina Department of Agriculture. Veterinary Division, transport swine diseases if conditions are suitable. 26. What is the duration and gravity of the violation? DWQ staff arrived at the Tumhull Co. _Farms _on_the morning of July 21, 2003 in response to a call received from Mr, Livingston's agent , Kathy Dugan_ Ms. Dut~an explained that a plugged swine house discharge line had resulted in a spill _and. that cleanup and repair efforts were being made. During the site visit wastewater was observed to be exiting and had exited a storm diversion ditch adjacent to the lagoon. The area had very recently been mown and the stubble left suggested that it had been overgrown around the pipe where the spill originated, The wastewater then traveled several hundred yards through the woods and into an unnamed tributary of Ellis Creek. Samples were taken in several Iocations as. well as photographs to document the extent and scope of the spill. The farm manager stated that the problem was discovered by one of his employees and they had repaired it immediately. However he could not establish a timeframe as to the duration of the spill or the amount lost. Given the amount of waste still, on site and the distance it had traveled it is reasonable to believe the spill had been going on for some time and that more frequent area maintenance could have detected it sooner. The discharge was estimated to be approximately 1,000 gallons by Mr. Livingston. but the evidence suggest it probably was much more..

Water Quality Assessment: No observed impacts to wildlife in the receiving stream. 28, What is the cost of rectifying the damage? The cost of rectifying damage would have included recoverin waste from the branch in the wooded area and returninp, the waste to the lagoons orspray field. 29. What is the amount of money saved by noncompliance'? NIA. 30. Was the violation committed willfully or intentionally? While closer monitoring and maintenance of the lagoon area possibly could have prevented or at least lessened the incidents impact it can not be stated that the violation was willfully committed_ 3 31.

Ross Jr., Secretary Alan Klimek, P.E., Director Division of Water Quality You are hereby notified that, having been permitted to have a non discharge permit for the subject animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0217, you have been found to be in violation of your 214.0217 Permit. On July 21, 2003, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality conducted a site visit to the above referenced facility in response to a report of a waste spill received from Ms_ Kathy Dugan of Galberry Services. Upon arrival at the facility, it was observed that wastewater had exited a plugged house discharge line. The wastewater then entered and crossed a storm water diversion ditch, and flowed overland into the adjacent wooded area. The wastewater traveled through the wooded area and discharged into an unnamed tributary of Ellis Creek. The wastewater originated at the clogged house discharge line, which had been repaired before DWQ staff arrived. DWQ was notified of the incident within 24 hours of first knowledge of the incident as required by the general permit. The Division of Water Quality requests that the following item(s) be addressed_ 1. Inspect the waste treatment and disposal'system more frequently with emphasis during irrigation events and the flushing of swine houses. 2. These inspections of future events will include observation of the above ground clean out pipes. 225 GREEN STREET - SUITE 714.

White Oak, NC 28399 Tel: 910-866-5297 Fax:910-866-5396 RECEIVED 'Jm-FRlU TULLERrGI NALC iCE Thank you for the opportunity to provide an explanation for the accidental spill on my farm that was reported on July 21, 2003. As you know, the discharge was reported in a timely manner in accordance with my general permit and was the result of a cleanout pipe that overflowed. For clarity, the items you requested be addressed in your August 14, 2003 letter will be presented in the same order. 1. Inspection of the waste treatment and disposal system: a. During irrigation events, the system is checked approximately every 90 minutes. b. The lagoon area, as well as the rest of the collection, treatment and storage structures, will be inspected after storm events as required by the general permit. c. Additionally, during the time the houses are being flushed, the system will be inspected. 2. Observation of the above ground clean out pipes: a. Since the accidental spill, the clean out pipes have been inspected daily. b. One individual has been designated to check the lagoon structure weekly, when flushing pits and after every rainfall event of one inch or more, in addition to the inspection by the certified operator. c. Employees have committed to re -double efforts to prevent the loss of any sleeves, bags or other equipment into the pit which could result in the back up of waste. My employees are aware of the spill and want to do their part to keep this farm in compliance. 3. Copies of the WUP plan, past 12 months of waste analyses and freeboard levels are attached. 4. Best management practices: a. As stated in 2b above, one individual has been designated to check the lagoon structure weekly and after every rainfall event of one inch or more, in addition to the inspection by the certified operator. b. An additional inspection will take place after flushing the houses, as indicated in 1 c above. c. The employee who operates the irrigation system is very careful to bring the pressure in the system up gradually to avoid any possible leaks. 5. Maintenance frequency of the waste disposal system, including lagoon area: a. To improve visual inspections, the lagoon area will be mowed every other month during the summer. b. As any replacement of pipe is needed in the pressurized system, the older pipe is replaced with improved schedule 80 PVC pipe instead of schedule 40 that was used originally. 6. Explanation of how the incident occurred, estimated waste water spilled and steps for remediation: a. The spill was a result of a broken clean out pipe that overflowed; the clean out pipe was repaired immediately after discovery. b. The estimate of waste water spilled was greater than 1000 gallons. c_ The discharged liquid that remained was contained in a dug hole and was pumped back into the lagoon to prevent the potential of further run-off. d. A small berm was constructed to prevent the loss of any more waste water down the slope behind the lagoon. e. Millet was planted in the area behind the lagoon to take up any excess nutrients and to stabilize the area. f. The site has been inspected on a regular basis for any other problems. 7. Additionally included are pictures of the site that show remediation efforts. Please note details written on the back of the pictures. I have taken every remediation measure suggested and feel that the accidental spill was contained in as fast and effective way as possible. Further, heavy rainfall in the area during this time would have diluted any waste water that potentially moved as far as the tributary, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to Ellis Creek. If further information is needed, or if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at 910-866-5395. Sincerrell�y�,-}- W. Robert Livingston, Jr. Turnbull Co.

Responding to the report of a spill were Mr. Paul Sherman and you. The spill was a result of a broken clean out pipe that overflowed; the clean out pipe was repaired immediately after the discovery and prior to your visit. Close and regular examination of the above ground clean out pipes will be a priority of farm management in the future. In a meeting with the farm crew, one individual was designated to check the lagoon structure weekly and after every rainfall event of one inch or more, in addition to the inspection by the certified operator_ Further, the employees indicated that they would re -double efforts to prevent the loss of any sleeves, bags or other equipment into the pit which could result in the back up of waste.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities_ 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4_ Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor Page: 1 problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential r- for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have 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 changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for speck crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR ( gallons, ft3, tons, etc.): 2400 animals X 3212 gallanimallyear = AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN PRODUCED PER YEAR (lbs): 2400 animals X 5.40 Ibs/animal/year = 7708800 gallons 12,960.00 Ibs Applying the above amount of waste is a big job.

A positive number means additional acreage is required to utilize the nitrogen produced by the farm. NOTE: This plan does not include commercial fertilizer- The farm should produce adequate plant available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above. The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen. - In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed Page: 3 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 definately interfere with 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 the time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October_ Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used.for the utilization of animal waste_ SLUDGE APPLICATION: Page: 4 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 r prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 0.84 pounds of plant available nitrogen per animal per year in the sludge based on the application method listed earlier. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 10080.00 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will creed 33.60 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 80.64 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 IRRIGATfON: 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 no_t 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_ If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid_ The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

In many situations, the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. 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 hour storm. It is the responsiability of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. 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 report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste. Additional Comments: Grower is not required but may opt to overseed any or all acreage listed in small grain to be cut for hay or grazed. Applications should not exceed 50 lbs Wac for this winter crop_ Application window for small grain is S-April; Hydrants 330-334 will be planted in small grain and millet rotation and planted in fescue again in Fall of 2003. Application rates would be 50 Ibs N/ac and 150 Ibs N/ac respectively. Page: 6 ! . j 2 Jr LL!,',,, 3 Turnbull Co.

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 nutrient management plan and a new certification to be submitted to DWQ before the new animals are stocked. l/we understand that I must own or have access to equipment, primarily irrigation equipment, to land apply the animal waste described in this nutrient management plan. This equipment must be available at the appropriate pumping time such that no discharge occurs from the lagoon in the event of a 25 year 24 hour storm. I also certify that the waste will be applied on the land according to this plan at the appropriate times and at rates which produce no runoff. This plan will be filed on site at the farm office and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District and will be available for review by NCDWQ upon request.
