WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
. FOR
Bill Cameron
RR 3 Box 123-D
Raeford NC 28376
March 2, 1994
Your animal waste utilization plan has been specifically
developed for your 5760 FEEDER TO FINISH SWINE operation.
The plan is based on the soil types, crops to be grown, and
method of application for your particular operation. The waste
must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
Of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the
animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial
fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste
is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as
the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each
application and annual soil tests are encouraged so that all
plant nutrients and lime can be balanced for realistic yield
of the crops 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 environ-
mentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs
of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste.
The amount of available nitrogen for plant use is dependant on
the method of application. Soil type is important due to
different leaching potential and yield potential. Waste shall
not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre
per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils or on land
when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may
result in runoff to surface waters. Wind conditions should
also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems.
To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and
reduce the potential for pollution, waste should be applied to
a growing crop or not more than 30 days prior to planting.
Soil incorporation of the waste will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
The acres needed to apply the animal waste are based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Annual
acreage requirements may be more or less depending on the
specific waste analysis report for your facility at the time
of irrigation.
Your waste utilization plan is based on the Following:

The acres, crops. and application method shown in the preceding tables will
accommodate approximately 7065.0 animals of the type shown in Table A.
If more commercial fertilizer is used than is shown in Table D, then
additional acres of land will be needed. A 3 - 15 feet wide permanent
grass filter strip should be seeded along all ditches in fields that
receive animal waste.

A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal
Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only
the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any
acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your
plan.
An evaluation by Bob Heath on 3/4199 was made to review the actual number of acres at your facility that
receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of the following
two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X".
Category 1:
❑ The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please
contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Bob Heath the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to Bob Heath, at 225 Green Street, Suite
714, Fayetteville, NC 28301, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. if you have any
questions please contact Bob Heath at (910) 486-1541. If within 90 days you are unable
to provide Bob Heath with the information you are automatically required to complete
a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2 below, within 180 days
of receipt of this letter.

Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special
designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this
designation, or a Professional Engineer.
All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and
the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWQ within the next
180 days. If the needed modifications are 'not trade and if the form is not returned within the
required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility
into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation,
and/or injunctive relief.
Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable
Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please
note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all
the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan
must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will
review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by
kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install
or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer
must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter sho

Sludge Survey Report
Double C Farms
NCA247027
Hoke County
Dear W. W. Cameron:
Your Animal Waste Management General NPDES Permit contains a condition
that addresses the sludge survey requirement for the lagoon(s) at your animal
feeding operation.
Your NPDES Permit Number NCA247027 Condition II1.16, on page 10 states:
"All facilities, which are issued a COC to operate under this permit, shall conduct
a survey of the sludge accumulation in all lagoons within one (1) year of receiving
the COC and every year thereafter. This survey shall include but not be limited to
a sketch showing the depth of sludge in the various locations within each lagoon.
This survey shall be submitted as part of the facility's annual report in the year it
was conducted..."
Our records indicate that the Division has not received the sludge survey results
for the year 2005 from your facility and your facility had not previously exempted
based on prior surveys. The form was due March 1, 2006. To avoid possible
enforcement action for a violation of your permit, please submit the results within
thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter to the following address:

Dear Mr. Cameron:
The Division of Water Quality (Division) received your sludge survey information on December
19, 2008. With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement
for the lagoon at the Double C Farms facility not to be required until 2009. Due to the amounts
of treatment volume available, the Division agrees that a sludge survey is not needed until 2009.
Please note that the Division can only grant sludge survey exemption until the end of your
current permit cycle, and advice you to resubmit. your request after your permit renewal for
further exemption.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions, please call me at (919)

conditions and limitations.
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
Any discharge of waste that reaches surface waters or wetlands is prohibited except as otherwise
provided in this General Permit and associated statutory and regulatory provisions. Waste shall
not reach surface waters or wetlands by runoff, drift, manmade conveyance, direct application,
direct discharge or through ditches not otherwise classified as state waters.
The waste collection, treatment, storage and application system operated under this General
Permit shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent the
discharge of pollutants to surface waters or wetlands. Application of waste to terraces and
grassed waterways is acceptable as long as it is applied in accordance with Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) Standards and does not result in a discharge of waste to surface
waters or wetlands.
Facilities must be designed, constructed and operated to contain all waste plus the runoff from a
25-year, 24-hour rainfall event for the location of the facility. A facility that has a discharge of
waste that results because of a storm event more severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm will not
be considered to be in violation of this General Permit if the facility is in compliance with its
Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) and this General Permit.
Any discharge or application of waste to a ditch that drains to surface waters or wetlands is
prohibited except as follows: (a) discharges from the ditches are controlled by best management
practices (BMPs) designed in accordance with NRCS standards; (b) the BMPs have been
submitted to and approved by the Division of Water Quality (Division); (c) the BMPs were
implemented as designed to prevent a discharge to surface waters or wetlands; (d) the waste was
removed immediately from the ditch upon discovery; and (e) the event was documented and
reported in accordance with Part 111.13. of this General Permit. Nothing in this exception shall
excuse a discharge to surface waters or wetlands except as may result because of rainfall from a

Permit Number AWG100000
Amendment to the CAWMP means a change and/or addition to a part(s) of the plan, and requires that
the. change and/or addition adhere to current applicable standards. The following are examples of
amendments to the CAWMP:
• In an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes 25% or less of the N
generated is considered a plan amendment. Additional acreage needed to facilitate the change in
crops and/or cropping pattern is permissible and considered part of the amendment.
• The addition of winter crops and/or interseeded perennial crops are considered amendments to an
existing CAWMP when the operation does not require additional acreage and/or crops for N
utilization, and does not exceed the 25% criteria stated above.
• When a CAWMP cannot meet N utilization requirements due to land lost to irrigation inefficiency
(useable versus total acres), then the CAWMP may be amended to increase available acreage and/or
change the crop for N utilization. This is the only exception to the 25% N criteria for plan revision.
• Inclusions of emergency action plans, and insect, odor and mortality checklists are considered
CAWMP amendments.
• Including additional acreage for land application beyond what is required in the existing CAWMP is
considered a plan amendment.
Animal feeding operation means a lot or facility (other than an aquatic animal production facility)
where the following conditions are met: (i) animals (other than aquatic animals) have been, are, or will
be stabled or confined and fed or maintained for a total of forty five (45) days or more in any twelve (12)
month period, and (ii) crops, vegetation, forage growth, or post -harvest residues are not sustained in the
normal growing season over any portion of the lot or facility. Two or more animal feeding operations
under common ownership are considered to be a single animal feeding operation if they adjoin each
other, or if they use a common area or system for the disposal of wastes.
Ditch means any man made channel for the purpose of moving water off a site to the surface waters.
Excessive Ponding means any area of the application field where visible liquid waste is ponded on the
surface of the land application site more than four (4) hours following the application of waste.
Excessive ponding also means any areas where the ponding of waste has resulted in crop failure.
Groundwaters means any subsurface waters, as defined in 15A NCAC 2L .0102.
Land application means the application of wastewater and/or waste solids onto or incorporation into the
soil.
Major changes to the CAWMP means changes in the number of animals, type of operation (feeder to
finish to wean to feeder), retrofit of a lagoon, installation of a new irrigation system, and similar type
changes. Recertification is only required for major changes to the CAWMP. Major changes to a facility
must first be approved by DWQ. The new CAWMP and the certification shall be submitted with a
request that the COC be amended to reflect the changes. The facility may not make the changes until a
new or amended COC has been issued.

Permit Number AWG100000
Revision to the CAWMP means a change to an entire CAWMP to meet current applicable standards. A
CAWMP must be revised if the operation cannot utilize all N nitrogen generated by the animal
production in accordance with the existing CAWMP, except for the specific conditions noted in the
CAWMP amendment criteria as previously defined. For an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or
cropping pattern that utilizes more than 25% of the N generated by the operation is considered a plan
revision. Any change to an existing CAWMP, whether an amendment or revision, must be signed and
dated by both the producer and a technical specialist for the new CAWMP to be valid. A revision of the
CAWMP does not require recertification.

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the numberofacres 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.
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 ifanimal 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.

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.
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 i❑ 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.
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.
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 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 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.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------......................................
651029 Database Version 2,0 Date Printed: 5/13/03 Specification Page 3
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 applicatio❑ records for all other waste shall be maintained for rive
(5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

Crop Notes
The following crop note applies to field(s): P1-5, P10, P11-14, P15-21, P22-23, P6-9
Small Grain: CP, Mineral Soil, medium leachable
In the Coastal Plain, oats and barley should be planted from October 15-October 30; and rye from
October 15-November 20. For barley, plant 22 seed/drill row foot and increase the seeding rate by 5% for
each week seeding is delayed beyond the optimum time. See the seeding rates table for applicable
seeding rate modifications in the current NCSU "Small Grain Production Guide". Also, increase the
initial seeding rate by at least 10% when planting no -till. Oats should be planted at 2 bushels/acre and
rye at 1-1 1/2 bushels/acre. Plant all these small grains at 1-1 1/2" deep. Adequate depth control is
essential. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to
select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Apply no more
than 30 lbs/acre N at planting. Phosphorus and potash recommended by a soil test can also be applied at
this time. The remaining N should be applied during the months of February -March.
The following crop note applies to field(s): PI-5, P10, P11-14, P15-21, P22-23, P6-9
Bermudagrass: CP, Mineral Soil, Moderately Well Drained,
Adaptation: Well -adapted.
In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. 1 to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs 1" to 3"
deep (1.5" optimaI). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and
wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a
rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing
conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced 1' to 1.5' in row.
For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus,
potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 lb/ac N in
the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240
lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts.
Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization
of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or
extension agent for assistance.

The Division's records show that a completed PLAT Form has NOT been submitted for this facility. An
extension from the due date of October 6, 2005 was requested and ample time has been allowed for submittal. If
our records are in error please resubmit the completed PLAT Form for this farm. If the PLAT Form has not
been submitted, please do so by May 15, 2006.
Condition 1.6 of your NPDES Permit states: "If prior to the expiration date of this permit either the state or
federal government establishes Phosphorus loss standards that are applicable to land application activities at a
facility operating under this permit, the Permittee must conduct an evaluation of the facility and its CAWMP
under the requirements of the Phosphorus loss standards to determine the facility's ability to comply with the
standards. This evaluation must be documented on forms supplied or approved by the Division and must be
submitted to the Division. This evaluation must be completed by existing facilities within six (6) months of
receiving notification from the Division.
The method of evaluation is the Phosphorous Loss Assessment Tool (PLAT) developed by NC State University
and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. PLAT addresses four potential loss pathways: leaching,
erosion, runoff and direct movement of waste over the surface. Each field must be individually evaluated and
rated as either low, medium, high or very high according to its Phosphorus loss potential. The ratings for your
farm must be reported to DWQ using the attached certification form. The PLAT forms must be kept as records
on your farm for future reference.
Please be advised that this notice does not prevent the Division of Water Quality from taking enforcement
actions for any past or future violation. Furthermore, the Division of Water Quality has the authority to levy a
civil penalty of not more than $25,000.00 per day per violation.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please do not hesitate to contact Duane Leith at (919) 715-6186
