On October 10, 2003, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Soil and Water conducted an operational reviewof your swine farm located in Hoke County. That routine inspection revealed that during 200212003, irrigation events made to the small grain resulted in excessive over applications of P.A.N. at this facility. The pulls noted were numbered one through six and had the following over application amounts. Pull one was over applied by 30 pounds, Pull two by 26 pounds, Pull three by 13.4 pounds, Pull four by 16.2 pounds, Pull five by 2 -pounds, and Pull six by 29 pounds. Further, it should be noted that such over applications require notification to the appropriate regional office of the Division of Water Quality. The Fayetteville Regional Office has no record of this office being notified of the over applications or of the written report as required by the permit. Also the facilities recordkeeping was not in order. The review states that an incorrect waste sample was used and this resulted in, the over applications taking place. Records of applications, samples, and lagoon levels must be taken as required by the Permit and failure to do so is again a violation of a permit condition. This unsatisfactory recordkeeping condition contributed to the over application of P.A.N. which occurred to the small grain oat crop. Please be advised that such over applications are inconsistent with your Waste Utilization Plan. These violations of the permit are the reasons this office will recommend enforcement to the Central Office. N. C.

TECHNICAL SPECIALIST jDanny Edwards SIGNATURE Date Entered: 10/10/03 Entered By: jDanny Edwards 03/10/03 The Waste Utilization -table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acre, cropland. needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient re(fuirr, 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 o, 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 fieln 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. Animal operations that generate liquid waste and utilize waste storage facilities (lagoons or holding ponds) may apply more or less waste in any given year than is annually generated by the facility. in order to determine whether the plan adequately utilizes the waste produced by the facility, the storage capacity table included in this plan should be reviewed to ensure that the design capacity of the storage facility is not exceeded during the planning period. Depending on the requirements of the crop and the nutrient content of the waste, some nutrients will likely be over or under applied if animal waste is being utilized. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are required if animal waste is being applied. Soil tests should be used to balance the nutrient application amounts with the realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Nutrient management plans may require that the application of animal waste be limited so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field.
