Dear David & Wingate Collier:
On March 14, 2003, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued an NPDES General
Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued to enable swine faciiities.in North Carolina to
obtain coverage under a single permit that addresses both State and Federal requirements.
In accordance with your application received on January 30, 2003, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to David & Wingate Collier, authorizing the operation of the
subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with
NPDES General Permit NCA200000. The issuance .of this COC supersedes and terminates' your COC
Number AWS260059 to operate under State Non -Discharge Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Collier Farms Inc, located in CumberlandCounty, with an animal capacity of no
greater than an annual average of 7040 Feeder to Finish 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 July 1, 2007. 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 General Permit. Since this is a new joint State and
Federal general permit it contains many new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained
in the current State general permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and
revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay careful attention to the record keepin
and monitorinE conditions in this hermit. The Devices to Automatically Stov Irrigation Events Form
mustbe returned to the Division_ of Water Quality no later than 120_days followinreceipt of the
Certificate of Coverage. The Animal Facility Annual Certification Form must be completed and returned
to the Division of Water Quality by no later than March 1st of each year.

Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon
Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or
groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops
in the fields where the waste is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil
tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be
balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization
plan in order to 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.
Page: 1

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production
and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should
be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30
days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If
you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the
same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management 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 specific
crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
7040 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 13376 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
7040 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 16192 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.

Indicates that
this field is being
overseeded
(i.e.
interplanted) or
winter annuals
follow summer annuals.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded
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 to 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 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
Page: 5

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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 grain, 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.
** Acreage figures may exceed total acreage in fields due to
overseeding.

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.
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 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 2604.8 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 13024
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid
bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 43.4133333333 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds•of nitrogen per acre, you will need 104.192 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 application
methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This
rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil
texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount
should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the
time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed
the nitrogen needs of the crop..
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 Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
Page: 7

]. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by
runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or
direct discharge during operation or land application. Any
discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the
producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate
land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does
not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall
provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a
reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for
waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the
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, 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 less 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 disking after
waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is
danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to
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" 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 odor or flies.
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 the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that
would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal
waste should also be considered.

swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995),
shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters.
(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 a discharge or by over -spraying.
Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided
they have been approved as a land application site by a
"technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on
grassed waterways that discharges directly into water courses,
and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at
agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from
the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities,
showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the
animal waste management system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be
established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms,

18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or
terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and
implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should
be inspected on a regular basi's to prevent breakdowns, leaks,
and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on
site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables
and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if
animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it
should only be applied'preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and
bottom elevations of the temporary storage,(pumping volume) of
all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to
maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will
be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste
storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 50 days of utilization and soil
shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste
products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining
element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be
monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these
metals approach excessive levels, pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste
analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry
waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be
maintained for five (5) years.

SUBJECT: Complaint Investigation
Collier Farms, Inc.
Facility # 26-59
Wade, North Carolina
Cumberland County
Dear Mr. Collier:
On Friday, July 18, 1997, I met with you and your son, David, to observe and discuss the
waste management practices at your hog farm.
My visit was the result of a local citizen's complaint regarding the management of waste
generated from your hog farm. The citizen was concerned that the application of wastewater
onto fields in close proximity to his property could potentially contaminate his drinking water.
County, State and Federal Environmental .Agencies, as well as the news media have been
contacted by this citizen regarding his concerns.
This farm (Facility #26-59) was officially inspected by the Division of Water Quality on
June 19, 1997, The inspector, Mr: Ed Buchan, has advised me this facility complies with all
animal operation regulations required by Senate Bill #1217. Mr. Buchan's inspection found this
facility to be in compliance.
On July 18, 1997, I personally observed the animal waste management practices at this
facility. The Certified Waste Management Plan, all records (pumping, waste analysis, etc.),
lagoon freeboard, animal barns, and spray acreage were reviewed. All parts of your plan were in
order and I consider them to be in compliance with current regulations.

One item on Field #4, I feel, could be improved. From SR 1824, on the day of this
inspection, it appeared that wastewater was being spray irrigated into a wooded area. The
investigation revealed that the waste was actually being applied through a fence line currently
heavily populated with trees. This area separates two (2) irrigation sites. It is my opinion that
the subject fence line -buffer should be removed for the following. reasons:
(1) The vegetation is a combination of hardwoods and softwoods of all varieties and sizes.
During heavy storms (ice, thunder, strong winds), limbs will,break off and fall onto
coastal acreage. To manage the coastal properly, this debris will have to be removed.
This is very labor and maintenance intensive and will cause a loss of valuable man hours.
(2). The trees will uptake nutrients for the hay crop; thus, producing a lower quality hay.
(3) In its present location, it does not appear to be a buffer for anything. If the adjacent fields
had no vegetation, it could be considered a wind break; however, with an established
Coastal Bermuda crop, wind erosion is not a factor.
(4) Elimination of this fence line could potentially eliminate inquiries by other local. citizens.
The continued management of your animal facility by the current management practices
should ensure environmental compliance.
Should you have any questions, please advise.
Sincerely, .

Dear Mr. Leggett:
This letter is a summary of our findings of investigations conducted by the Fayetteville
Regional Office Water Quality staff during 1997 regarding Collier Farms, Inc.'s, (Facility # 26-
59) Animal Waste Management Practices,
According to our records, various personnel from our Water Quality staff have visited
Collier Farms, Inc., a total ofning (9) times during 1997. On May 29, 1997, members of the
Cumberland County Board of Health toured Collier Farms and other farms in the general area to
better understand Animal Waste Management Practices.
Collier Farms, Inc., was originally inspected on June 19, 1997, by the Division of Water
Quality and prior to our inspection, the Division of Soil and Water reviewed this farm. These
two (2) inspections are required annually under North Carolina General Statutes (Senate Bill
1217). The inspections were performed by different individuals and all indicate that this farm
follows waste management practices included in the e e F_as_tg ManagementELM. Other
inspections regarding surface runoff and potential improper waste management practices were
not observed. During every inspection, this farm was operating in accordance with the Waste
Plan developed by a technical specialist.
It is my understanding that your major concern is that the application of wastewater onto
fields inclose proximity to your property could potentially contaminate your private drinking
water well.

your concern for your drinking water supply is understandable. This office will enforce
all Iaws to assure your water supply is la contaminated with Nitrate Nitrogen from the adjacent
animal facility. Nitrate contamination could come from sources other than animal waste. Other
sources would include septic tank systems, commercial fertilizer and decaying organic matter.
All of these sources could move downward through the soil carrying Nitrate to the groundwater.
On August 12, 1997, our Groundwater personnel met with you to sample your water
supply well. The Division of Water Quality's results of this sampling event along with previous
well supply sampling data iq as follows:
Sample from water supply well at your residence:
Date Nitrate (mg/1) Total Coliform

These results have been forwarded to the Division of Health Services Environmental
Epidemiology Section for further evaluation for any health related advisories or input about the
use of your water. We will forward you their recommendations as soon as we receive them.
As indicated above there are many different sources for nitrate in groundwater.
Additionally the concentrations measured at one location and time may vary when analyzed at a
later time. This also has more than one possible explanation. Nitrate may increase or decrease
due to the amount of rainfall during the year especially in shallow groundwater situations.
Nitrate may go through denitirfication (release of nitrogen from nitrate )under natural site
conditions which occur at various depths and is dependent primarily on the amount of oxygen
available in the subsurface aquifers. All these variables (and others) play a significant role in the
'fate of nitrate in groundwater.
We will be happpy to continue to help you with your water, quality concerns in the future.
We anticipate that the Division of Health Services will recommend that your well be sampled on
a periodic basis. We will schedule our next sampling based on their recommendations.

Mr. Leggett called the FRO 5/15/98 a@ 1:10 pm to state that the
Collier Farm was spraying again.
Mr. Leggett indicated that the farm was spraying liquid nitrogen in
portions of the portions of fields that liquid swine waste had
not been applied.
I asked him if they were applying liquid nitrogen next to his
properly line and he stated "not really next to it".
Mr. Leggett theorized that the liquid nitrogen was being applied so
that tests on his well could not show impact from he liquid swine
waste. I offered no comment.
He indicated that the farm had applied waste all this week.
He indicated that the smell was so intense that he "could not stand
it
He then deviated from the swine conversation and discussed NCDOT.
He was not mad or argumentative as I have noted in previous telephone
calls.
He politely stated that "If you boy's are up this way please stop by
the farm".

COMPLAINT REPORT
COMPLAINANT: Mr. John Leggett, near South River Farms
SUBJECT: Alleged run-off of animal waste from land application site, South
River Farms, Wingate and David Collier farm, Cumberland County
Facility # 26-59
DATE: February 2, 1998
According to Mr. Leggett, who made this call through the Attorney General's office, the Colliers
were spraying hog waste onto a field behind or near his house. It was his opinion and claim that as
wet as the ground was, this waste was bound to be running straight into the South River.
Ken Averitte and Chris Johnson visited the farm site off the end of SR 1822. Lagoon level was
probably higher than recommended but not in imminent danger of overflowing, estimated at 18 to
20 inches or more. They left the farm site and went to a point where the irrigation force main
crosses Brown Swamp. David Collier was found at this site, returning from the spray field on the
high ground located on the far side of the swamp. He indicated that they were trying to spray at
every opportunity in order to obtain as much freeboard as possible due to anticipated heavy rain.
Reported spray field to be dry and suitable for land application.
In the process of locating the actual spray irrigation'site, the investigators met with Mr. Leggett.
He took the opportunity to explain all his past and present problems with the hog farm, indicating
that two school children who live in his rental mobile home were sick and mussing school that day
due to the odor from the waste application. He also mentioned that nitrates in his well had
doubled in the last year or two.
Made our way into the land application site and walked the low side of the area just sprayed. The
irrigation gun had been shut down by the time we arrived, just as David Collier indicated. The gun
cart was approaching a low area in the field which was not suitable for spraying, and they
intended to pull the gun across the drain before resuming application. We were able to discern
where the waste had been applied, and found no evidence of runoff or ponding. While we were on
the site, David and Wingate arrived and moved the cart across the low area.
Found absolutely nothing to substantiate the immediate claims of Mr. Leggett. However,
several drain riles have been placed in the low "drain" areas of this application site and are
effectively removing the ground water from the vicinity. This may warrant sampling in the future
to assess the impact of waste application on the now accelerated ground water discharge.

Inactive Waste Lagoons and Storage Ponds

Dear David Collier;
During the 1999 session, the North Carolina General Assembly passed a law directing the North
Carolina Department of Environment of Natural Resources (DENR) to develop an inventory and
ranking of all inactive lagoons and storage ponds in the State. In order to meet this directive, a
representative of DENR has recently evaluated the inactive lagoon(s) and/or storage pond(s) on your
property. Inactive lagoons and storage ponds were defined by the Statute as structures which were
previously used to store animal waste but have not received waste for at least one year.
The information collected on your property is contained in the attached field data sheets. Using
this field data, staff ranked your inactive waste structures as high, medium or low according to its
potential risk for polluting surface and/or groundwater. Your waste structure(s) was ranked as
follows:
Structure Number Surface Area (Acres) Rankin
1 1.67 Medium
2 0.603 Medium
This ranking is based in part on the conditions existing on the day of the site visit. Changes in
these conditions or the collection and evaluation of additional data may modify the ranking of your
waste structure(s) in the future.
Information on your facility along with over 1000 others contained in the inventory has been
provided to the General Assembly. During this year's session, the General Assembly will consider
additional requirements for future management of these structures which may include requiring
proper closure of inactive lagoons and storage ponds according to current or alternative standards.

Inactive Waste Lagoons and Storage Ponds
Animal Waste Management System .
Page 2
Regardless of their ranking, owners of all waste lagoons and storage ponds have certain
management responsibilities. These include taking appropriate actions toeliminate current
discharges, prevent future discharges and to insure the stability of their structures. Staff of the
Division of Water Quality will be in contact with. owners of all inactive structures that have been
determined to pose a serious environmental risk, based on its ranking and/or additional field data
collected by the Department.
All liquids and waste removed from these structures must be land applied at a rate not to exceed
the agronomic needs of the receiving crops. Any major modifications made to the dike walls or
structure must be done in accordance with current standards and under the direction of a technical
specialist designated for structural design. Your local Soil and Water Conservation District is an
excellent source for information and guidance related to proper waste application practices, structure
operation and maintenance, and other related animal waste management standards and/or
requirements.
Nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility and liability for
any past or future discharges from your lagoon(s) and/or storage pond(s) or for any violations of
surface water or groundwater quality standards.
Thank you for your cooperation and assistance in this process. If you have questions concerning
your inactive structures, please contact the staff of either in the Division of Water Quality or the
Division of Soil and Water Conservation in the Fayetteville Regional Office at [phone].

Keith,
Please see the attached list of farms that I am asking for exemptions from
the annual sludge survey. I am sending via USPS the information sheets for
each individual farm. I am emailing this list so that you can reply back
after you have finished, with the due date for the next survey (if granted
an extension). This should save you having to send a letter to me about it.
Hopefully this will make it easier for you.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to David Allen Collier, authorizing the operation of the subject
animal waste management system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
and land application of animal waste as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management
Plan-(CAWMP) for the Collier Farms Inc, located in Cumberland County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than the following swine annual averages:
Wean to Finish: 0 Feeder to Finish: 7040 Boar/Stud: 0
Wean to Feeder: 0 Farrow to Wean: 0 Gilts;,0
Farrow to Finish: 0 Farrow to Feeder: 0
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 and replaces the NPDES
COC issued to this facility with an expiration date of July 1, 2007. You are required to continue
conducting annual surveys of sludge accumulation in all lagoons at your facility; the one-year extension
in Condition 111.19 does not apply.
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. Enclosed for your convenience is
a package containing the new and revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay

Dear Mr. Barwick:
The Division of Water Quality (Division) received your sludge surveys information on January 16, 2008.
With your results, you requested that the numerous lagoons be exempt from further sludge surveys for the
life of the current permits. Due to the amounts of treatment volume available, the Division agrees
that a sludge survey is not needed until 2009 for the lagoons that are listed on the attached table.
For these lagoons, the results of the 2009 sludge survey are to be submitted by March 1, 2010.

Narrative
Mr. Collier operates one traveler system and two center pivots. The traveler operates entirely on land
that is his own, the pivots operate on land that is partly his and partly owned by a neighbor. Several of
the fields show a RYE that is different than current standards, these fields nitrogen loading is based on
standards in place at the time the fields were first being used. These same yields are shown on a waste
utilization plan dated January 2000.

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of cropland needed to use
the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications to
maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or other by-products,
commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity
of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides
for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

The Irrigation Application Factors for each field in this plan are shown in the following table. Infiltration rate varies with soils. If
applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system, you must apply at a rate that will not result in runoff. This table provides the
maximum application rate per hour that may be applied to each field selected to receive wastewater. It also lists the maximum
application amount that each field may receive in any one application event.

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for sludge
utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for each source,
the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates shown in the second column.
Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At clean out, this
material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but
other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high,
application of sludge must be carefully applied.
Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be used for
sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of
copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and lakes,
phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage capacity available
at the end of each month of the plan. Available storage capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity in days
minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start date is a value entered by the user and is
defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or
holding pond is equal to zero.
Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design storage
capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage capacity, this indicates that
the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated. If available storage capacity is negative,
the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure. Either of these
situations indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the
structure's temporary storage capacity.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift,
manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation
or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is
prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns
or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the
waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the
waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is
within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste
application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to
secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the
operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving
crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for
realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data,
climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that
restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year.
Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but
less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where
runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard
393 - Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application.
Waste should not be applied when there Is danger of drift from the land
application field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to
conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the
application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and
Climate in North Carolina" for guidance).
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such
that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does
not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order
to control odor and flies.
---- --------------- .-.------I-------------. -------- -- .... .....................
725677 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 12/21/2006 Specification Page 1

8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or
when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that
the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The
potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered.
10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted
crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on
these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted
to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior
to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the
following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from
a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any
residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste
from facilities sited on or after October 1,1995, shall not be applied closer that 25
feet to perennial waters.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than
those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public
right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or
wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to
prior converted cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land
application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on
grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other
grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that
causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks,
etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system.
................................................ ................. •---------------------------------------------- ........ .....------------......------------------
725677 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 12/21/2006 Specification Page 2

r
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed
areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as
necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other
woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon
areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be
inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate
the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a
regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance
checklist should be kept on site.
M Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops
for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for
direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further
applications of animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of
the temporary storage (pumping volume) of-allwaste treatment lagoons.
Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A
marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage
ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least
annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the
rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied
based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen
based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative
crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be
adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis
records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application
records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years.
Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5)
years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

Crop Notes
Cotton CP, Mineral Soil, highly leachable
The following crop note applies to field(s): 1
In the Coastal Plain, cotton is normally planted from April l 5-May 5 when warm(above 65 F)
temperatures and dry weather are present and predicted to remain for at least 5 to 7 days after planting.
Avoid planting after May 20 if at all possible. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and
information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with characteristics needed for your
area and conditions. Plant 4-6 seed/row foot at a depth of 1/2-1". Adequate depth control is essential.
Recommended phosphorus and 1/2 the potash can be broadcast or banded at planting. Apply 20-25
lbs/acre N and 5 lbs/acre sulfur at planting. Apply the remaining recommended N as a sidedress
application 2 to 3 weeks after first square. The total N needed is dependent on soil type. Also, apply at

boron either at planting or at sidedress and foliar apply 1/2 lb/acre actual boron with 1/4 lb/acre applied
at early bloom and the other 1/4 Ib/acre about 2 weeks later. The boron needs to be available to the cotton
during fruiting. Tissue samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the nutrient status
of the cotton. Timely management of insects, weeds, and excessive vegetative growth are essential for
profitable cotton production.
The following crop note applies to field(s): 2-3
Cotton CP: Mineral Soil, medium leachable
In the Coastal Plain, cotton is normally planted from April 15-May 5 when warm(above 65 F)
temperatures and dry weather are present and predicted to remain for at least 5 to 7 days after planting.
Avoid planting after May 20 if at all possible. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and
information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with characteristics needed for your
area and conditions. Plant 4-6 seed/row foot at a depth of 1/2-1". Adequate depth control is essential.
Recommended phosphorus and potash can be broadcast or banded at planting. Apply 20-25 lbs/acre N at
planting. Apply the remaining recommended N as a sidedress application 2 to 3 weeks after first square.
The total N needed is dependent on soil type. Also, apply at least 20 lbs/acre sulfur either at planting or
at sidedressing. Apply 1.0 lb/acre actual boron either at planting or at sidedress; or, foliar apply 1/2
lb/acre actual boron with 1/4 lb/acre applied at early bloom and the other 1/4 lb/acre about 2 weeks later.
The boron needs to be available to the cotton during fruiting. Tissue samples can be analyzed during the

II. SAMPLE PREPARATION AND TRANSFER
A. Place. the. sample for analysis into a f lexible `.ar". expandable. cantaiaer :'that. can be
sealed.- T'he:contaiaer should be rinsed clean with water and free of any, residues
but should -knot -be "chlorinated or treated:.in any „othai,:vay.r. D•ry' litter,',may..also be
placed in a sealed plastic bag such as a freezer.bag:
B. The sample should be refrigerated, iced or, cooled,. if possible, or transferred to
the lab immediately. -
C.' Hand-delivery.is the most reliable. way of sample transfer, but it can also be mailed
D. If mailed,-sample_container should first be protected with a packing material such
:as newspaper,: -then boxed or packaged with wrapping paper and taped.
E. The NCDA Plant Analysis Lab provides this service -for a nominal fee of $3 per sample
which should be forwarded along with the sample.

F. Request that as a minimum the following analyses be performed:
i. Total.nitrogen (TKN)
ii. Ammonia nitrogen (NH N)
iii. Total phosphorus (TP�
iv. Potassium (K)
v. Dry litter samples should also include a total solids (TS) analysis.
G, Other analyses performed at no extra cost by NCDA include trace minerals.,

tIL. INTERPRETATION OF AMU ...L RESULTS ' `•'
A. Results are usually reported either, on a percent {X) of total weight or a parts -per -
.:million (ppm or mg/1) basis.
B. Results may be reported on a dry -weight; :bas:is;�:(;db),.or on -a wet -weight ,basis (vb).
C. NCDA lab results are usually reported on a X wet -basis for semi -solid, slurry,,and
liquid samples and .on a 2 dry-bas is for -dry :litter '•samples.
D. Results expressed on a dry -basis should be converted to a wet -basis before
calculating land application rates by multiplying the reported values by the X total
solids (I expressed as a decimal). If a total solids analysis is not performed,
average total solida'contents of dry litter samples maybe obtained .from Table VI-B.
E. If an ammonia -nitrogen test is not performed, refer to Tables 1A thru 6A for the
average relative percentage of the total nitrogen -as ammonia.
F. Phosphorus and 'potassium results can either be reported as elemental P'and K or as
the fertilizer. forms of P 0 and K 0. Recommended rates of fertilization for
various crops are usually 2raported2as P205 and K2 0.
