OFFICE Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. AWS630005 Loblolly Farm Swine Waste Collection, Treatment, Storage and Application System Moore County Dear Don A. Gibbons Jr.: In accordance with your application received on August 12, 1998, we are forwarding this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Don A. Gibbons, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Loblolly Farm, located in Moore County, with an animal capacity of no greater than 2940 Feeder to Finish and the application to land as specified in the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until April 30, 2003. 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, with no discharge of wastes to surface waters. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this farm. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number of stocked animals above the number authorized by this COC will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and shall be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals. Please pay careful attention to the record keeping and monitoring conditions in this permit. Since your Waste Utilization Plan was developed based on waste analysis, careful evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed. Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief. Upon notification by the Division of this COC's expiration, you shall apply for its renewal. This request shall be made within 30 days of notification by the Division. P.O.

F-�E_be2 To Number of Animals.: 2 9 4 0 (D451gn capacity),' . The waste from your animal facility must be �#nd applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or'groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste pMould be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer regU44red 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. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. no not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally. waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons p9r.Acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste,on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface:'is frozen,. Either of these.condi-Eions may result in runoff to.surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift ,and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollut.ion,'.the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems, The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage reaui.rements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

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 a notarized 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 a notarized agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing himther the use of the land for waste application, It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical -data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. Actual yields may be used in lieu of realistic yield tables at the discretion of the planner, 4. Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding less.than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at more than 5 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-)alter Strips) 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 appiicatiorh does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (Sec "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 he applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste should be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to depth that would prohibit growth, The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10. Waste nutrients 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 a 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 from any perennial stream or river other than an irrigation ditch or canal. NRCS,NC JUNE, 1996 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provideed adequate vegetative filter strips are present (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet from wells. 13, Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animals 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 it has been approvad as a land applications site by a "technical specialist'. Animal waste applied on grassed waterways shall beat agronomic rates and 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. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is 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 hununconsumption.

In reviewing what I originally sent you I realized that I had sent you my original Waste Utilization Plan rather than the current one. I spoke with the NRCS and had my plan updated. I apologize for the lack of clarity of the map, but there are no others available. I was able to procure the original from the NRCS, and hope that it is sufficient.

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. Always apply Waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Donot apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities,--, and available water holding capaciiies. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also -be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the galue of nutrient§ for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing. crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type .of facility_ Acreage requirements should be based on the waste -analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information -on prdper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This -waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission_ 777NVASTETTILIZATION A Amount-ofwaste.produced peryear (gallons, CUIL, tons, etc.) animals ':x , waste/animal/year = /fjf% II ACTIN. 7year.

NARRA77YE OF OPERATION.- There are 31.0 acres established in fescue and bermuda grass for this operation. Because of field shape,•buffers, and irrigation system layout there is approximately 23.8 acres of effective coverage.. This operation has a waste storage pond system with 32.0 days of temporary storage. Effluent from the storage pond will be applied to the fescue and bermuda grass by irrigation using a traveling gun. The bermuda grasE wil-l_be overseeded in rye grain in the winter to help utilize the nutrients produced by this operation. Sludge will need to be removed from'the system every 5-10 years. A waste analysis will need to be run on this:.material prior to application and a -waste utilization plan pre- pared for the sludge. Additional lands off site will probably be needed for proper utilization. 4 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 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 which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS .with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing h.im1her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. 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, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4.

At no time should the effluent level rise above the maximum liquid level marker. A visual inspection of the waste storage pond or lagoon will be performed at least twice a year. The inspector should check the condition of the dam and the emergency spillway. The inspector will need to look for signs of slope failure and seepage on the back slope and at the toe of the daze. Also, a very close look will need to be made to check for signs of damage due to varmint (ground hogs, muskrats, etc.) burrows. A visual inspection should also be made after heavy rainfall events to ensure that the stricture is not experiencing erosion rills or gullies. Any problems found should be brought to the attention of the technical specialist for repair recommendations. • The waste storage pond or lagoon will need to be mowed twice a year. All eroded areas shall be repaired and stabilized. Areas that do not have an adequate ground cover shall be reseeded to provide a vegetative cover sufficient restrain erosion. The data and all constructed slopes will need to be fertilized annually with 500 pounds of 10-10-10 per acre or its equivalent. • Maintain all waste handling equipment —pumping, loading, hauling, spreading, etc_ in accordance with the manufacturers specifications. All waste application shall be completed in accordance with the waste utilization plan. The waste storage pond or lagoon will be pumped at the end of each design storage period 3 ZO days or I_ months) or as needed due to excess rainfall.

You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible location for all employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should take. 1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this mayor may not be possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below. A_ Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are: a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam. b. Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate. c. Stop all flows to the Iagoon immediately. - d_ Call a pumping contractor. e_ Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon. B : Runoff from waste application field -actions include: a. Immediately stop waste application. b_ Create a temporary diversion to contain waste. c. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff. d_ Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that caused the runoff. e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred. C: Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers -action include: a. Stop recycle pump. b. Stop irrigation pump. c. Close valves to eliminate further discharge. d. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps. . D: Leakage from flush systems, houses; solid separators -action include: a. Stop recycle pump. b. Stop irrigation pump. c. Make sure no siphon occurs. d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid separators. December 18, 1996 e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps. E: Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to flowing leaks- possible action: a- Dig a small sump or ditch away from the embankrinent to catch all seepage, put in a submersiblc pump, and pump back to Iagoon. b.. If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil. c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and lagoon bottom as soon as possible. 2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages. a. Did the waste reach any surface waters? b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration? c. Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage? d. Did the spill leave the property? e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters`' f. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters? g. Are potable water wells in danger (either on or off of the property)? h. How much reached surface waters? 3: Contact appropriate agencies. a. During normal business hours, call your DWQ (Division of Water Quality) regional office; Phone - - After hours, emergency number. 919-733-3942. Your phone call should include: your name, facility, telephone number, the details of the incident from item 2 above, the exact location of the facility, the location or direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind conditions.

These suggestions area result of discussions within the NC State University Forage Production Workgroup, a group comprised of NC State faculty and NRCS agency personnel with expertise with the crops. There are limited documented research responses of some of these practices on the many soils and environments where these crops are currently being grown. The Forage Production Workgroup has taken the available data and used the combined experiences and realistic motes of key people to come up with suggestions that will allow farmers to incorporate these crops and practices into waste management plans. As data become available to substantiate or refute these suggestions, the Forage Production Workgroup will make appropriate changes. Bermuda Qverseeded With Cereal Rye and Annual Ryegrass Currently two types of ` ryegrasr are being used for winter overseeding in fields used for animal waste management. Cerealisis a winter annual smailgrain that looks similar to wheat, barley and oats. Annual MgMs is a winter amLW grass that looks much like tall fescue. Both of these grasses, when growing during the winter on bermuda sod, can have significant impact on subsequent bermuda yields.' In effect, the total yields from an acre growing the combination of bermuda with these winter annuals will usually yield between 1-2 tons more per acre than bermuda growing alone for the year. Therefore, the total amount of PAN /acre for the year is about 100 Is more than for bermuda alone. Although cereal rye and annual ryegass are suitable crops for overseeding, the management of the crops are different and thus practices implemented are dependent on the crop selected.

The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling rye into short (less than 3 inches tall) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda' sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the Bermuda prior to August 31. An application of 50 lbs/acre of Plant Available N (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30. An additional 50 lbs/acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If rye growth is harvested on time and does not significantly shade the bermuda, PAN -rates for the subsequent bermuda crop are based on realistic yields of bermuda. A harvest is required prior to heading or April 7, which ever comes first. This is necessary to minimize the potential for shading bermuda and reducing its yields. The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overlseeded with cereal rye must be reduced in accordance with NRCS - Technical Standard #590. Annual Ryegrass Annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short (less than 3 inches tall) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. .An application of 50 lbs/acre of (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30. An additional 50 lbs/acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If additional PAN is applied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the bar coda mast be reduced by a corresponding amount. This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will reduce bermuda yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is required by heading or April 7, which ever comes fast to prevent shading of emerging berr iuda during April -May period. To favor the production of the bermuda, additional harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height. The PAN rate for gazed systems with bermuda overseeded with annual ryegrass must be reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard #590.

However, until further data is collected, the following guidelines may be used. 1. On sandy textured soils that are well drain or excessively well drained, gamagrass may yield similar to hybrid bermudagrass at similar PAN rates. 2. On heavy textured soils that are poorly to somewhat poorly drained, gamagrass may yield I.5-3 times more than hybrid bermuda. Gamagrass establishes slowly and will not usually produce much harvestable forage during the establishment year. It is best to allow the growth during the seedling year to accumulate for most or all season; if it is to be harvested, it should be done after full seedhead formation on a majority of the plants. Therefore, PAN for the seedling year should be modified accordingly. Overseeding gamagrass with winter annuals is not currently advised because the harvesting or grazing management of the winter annual crops during February -April would be detrimental to the survival of gamagrass. Gamagrass should not normally be harvested or grazed below 6-8 inches stubble. Application rates are to be based on the realistic N rates that address the N needs per ton of hay, a realistic yield and an appropriate application window. When harvested as hay in the 24- 36 inch stage of growth, the N raze ranges from 40-50 Ibslton of dry matter. The PAN rate for grazed systems must be reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard #590. The application window for gamagrass is slightly earlier than for Bermuda; gamagrass starts growing about 3-4 weeks earlier than Coastal bermudagrass and about 2-3 weeks earlier than Tifton 44. Gamagrass is dormant from frost to March. The last application of PAN in the summer should be prior to August 31. Rescuegn= (Le- Matua) Rescuegrass is a cool season grass and makes most of its growth from March -June and September -November. It should receive most of its N during the September -October and late February through May months. Limited data are available for realistic yields of rescuegrass on various soils and at various N levels in North Carolina. However, until further data is collected the following suggestions may be useful. I. On sandy, well drained to excessively drained soils, rescuegrass may yield 1.5- 3 times fescue, assuming a uniform and dense stand of grass is present. North Caroms Slats Urinarsiy is a lam Deparbneft of Crop Science 9 son U*QMry and a CWdauard isrmtkon d The Urwa„ry d North Carofna College of AQrOWKWe and Life Sdanoee Campus Box 7620 Raleigh, NC 27695.7620 919.6152647 910 515.7969 (fax} 2. On wet or poorly drained soils, rescuegrass may yield .75 4.0 times as much as fescue. 3. On soils where both are well adapted the yields of rescuegrass may be 1-1.5 times more than fescue. The above RYE estimates assume that stand density is maintained through natural reseeding every year. Although rescuegrass is a "perennial" it does not maintain dense, satisfactory stands unless it is allowed to reseed every year. Even under this management it is likely that disease will affect one or more growths in some years. Application rates are to be based on the realistic N rates that address the N needs per ton of hay, a realistic yield and an appropriate application window. When harvested as hay, the N rate is similar to other cool season grasses such as fescue, ranging from 40-50 Ibs/ton. Rescuegrass may also continue some growth in June -August if moisture is available. During these off-seasons, rescuegrass should not receive more than about 25 IN N/acr&month. Only apply 25 IN Nacre in June -August if the equivalent of 1-inch of water can be applied at the same time. if the crop does not respond with at least a 1000 Ibs of growth within a 3-5 week period do not make another application until the plants have had the opportunity to use the previous application.

Gibbons, Jr.) Animal Waste Operation Moore County To: Mr. J.R. Joshi, Soil Scientist Non -Discharge Permitting Unit Division of Water Quality Raleigh, North Carolina In response to your letter to Mr. Gibbons dated January 11, 1999, 1 have revised the waste utilization plan for his farm. As a part of this revision, I have also added Fields 4 and 5 which are also available for waste utilization. In the narrative portion of the plan I have referenced Dr. Greens' memorandum and have also attached it to the plan. This should give Mr. Gibbons the information needed to overseed with cereal rye in the winter. The volumes used in the plan are based on information in NRCS practice standard 633. The PAN rate used in this plan is an average of the attached waste analysis. There are six (6) analysis which are representative of the effluent in this waste facility. The volume of this facility does not meet the volume required to be considered a lagoon but this system is operated as a lagoon, i.e., the effluent that is pumped from this facility is only the liquid on the top two or three feet of the pond surface.

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. 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. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Ej TWS TABLE IS NOT NEEDED IF WASTE IS NOT HEING A"LIID BY MWGATION, HOWEVFA A SLMIl.AR TABLE WILL BE NEEDED FOR DAY LITM OR SLURRY. Your facility is designed for _3 LQ days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once everyI MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed the level of the start pump marker. ELEV. 9fa 8 Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil and Water Conservation District office- after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION: This operation has a waste storage pond with 320 day of temporary storage. Fields 1,2, and 3 are established in bermuda grass and fescue as shown in table No. 1. Fields 4 and 5 are established in loblolly pine. Due to field shape, buffers, and irrigation system layout there is approximately 53.3 acres of effective irrigation coverage. Effluent from the waste storage pond will be applied by irrigation using a traveling gun system.The bermuda grass will be overseeded in cereal rye in the winter ( see attached Memorandum from Dr. Jim Green ). As with any system, the sludge will need to be removed at some point in time. When that becomes necessary, a waste analysis will need to be run on this material prior to application and a waste utilization plan prepared for the sludge. Additional lands off site will probably be needed for proper utilization. n W WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 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 which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide MRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. 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, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These ' filter strips will be in addition to `Buffers" required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.] 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. 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" in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.] 5 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATION 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offshe 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 conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall not be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. 10. Waste nutrients 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 on bare soil. 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. [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 wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist." Animal waste should 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. C1 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 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.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and 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. Lagoon 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. 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 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 element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitered 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. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. 7 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEMENT NAME OF FARM: LoBLoL-t-Y �A Rm OWNERIMANAGER AGREEMENT I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specification and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above.

These suggestions are a result of discussions within the NC State University Forage Production Workgroup, a group comprised of NC State faculty and MRCS agency personnel with expertise with the crops. There are limited documented research responses of some of these practices on the many soils and environments where these crops are currently being grown. The Forage Production Workgroup has taken the available data and used the combined experiences and realistic estimates of key people to come up with suggestions that will allow farmers to incorporate these crops and practices into waste management plans. As data become available to - substantiate or refute these suggestions, the Forage Production Workgroup will make appropriate changes. Bermuda Overseeded With Cereal Rye and Annual Ryegriass Currently two types of ` ryegrass" are being used for winter overseeding in fields used for animal waste management. �ereall is a winter annual smallgrain that looks similar to wheat, barley and oats. Annual rvegrass is a winter annual grass that looks much like tall fescue. Both of these grasses, when growing during the winter on bermuda sod, can have significant impact on subsequent bermuda yields. In effect, the total yields from an acre growing the combination of Bermuda with these winter annuals will usually yield between 1-2 tons more per acre than bermuda growing alone for the year. Therefore, the total amount of PAN /acre for the year is about 100 lbs more than for bermuda alone. Although cereal rye and annual ryegrass are suitable crops for overseeding, the management of the crops are different and thus practices implemented are dependent on the crop selected.

The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling rye into short (less than 3 inches tall) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 . times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An application of 50 lbslacre of Plant Available N (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30. An additional 501bslacre of PAN may be applied in Febnwy-March. If rye growth is harvested on time and does not significantly shade the bermuda, PAN rates for the subsequent bermuda crop are based on realistic yields of bermuda. A harvest is requh-ed prior to heading or April 7, which ever comes first. This is necessary to minimize the potential for shading Bermuda and reducing its yields. The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded with cereal rye must be reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard #590. Annual Ryegrass Annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short (less than 3 inches tail) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An application of 50 lbslacre of (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30. An additional 50 lbslacre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If additional PAN is applied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the bermuda must be reduced by a corresponding amount. This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will reduce bermuda yields and shorten the time Bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is required by heading or April 7, which ever comes first to prevent shading of emerging bermuda during April -May period. To favor the production of the bermuda, additional harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height. The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded with annual ryegrass must be reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard #590.

NC 27695-752o 919.516 2647 919.515.7959 (tax) Eastern Gamagrass Limited data are available on the response of garnagrass to various levels of N and soil types in North Carolina. However, until further data is collected, the following guidelines may be used. 1. On sandy textured soils that are well drain or excessively well drained, gamagrass may yield similar to hybrid bermudagrass at similar PAN rates. 2. On heavy textured soils that are poorly to somewhat poorly drained, gamagrass may yield 1.5-3 times more than hybrid Bermuda. Gamagrass establishes slowly and will not usually produce much harvestable forage during the establishment year. It is best to allow the growth during the seedling year to accumulate for most or all season; if it is to be harvested, it should be done after full seedhead formation on a majority of the plants. Therefore, PAN for the seedling year should be modifed accordingly. Overseeding gamagrass with winter annuals is not currently advised because the harvesting or grazing management of the winter annual crops during February -April would be detrimental to the survival of gamagrass. Gamagrass should not normally be harvested or grazed below 6-8 inches stubble. Application rates are to be based on the realistic N rates that address the N needs per ton of hay, a realistic yield and an appropriate application window. When harvested as hay in the 24- 36 inch stage of growth, the N rate ranges from 40-50 lbsfton of dry matter. The PAN rate for grazed systems must be reduced in accordance with MRCS Technical Standard #590. The application window for gamagrass is slightly earlier than for bermuda; gamagrass starts growing about 3-4 weeks earlier than Coastal bermudagrass and about 2-3 weeks earlier than Tifton 44. Gamagrass is dormant from frost to March. The last application of PAN in the summer should be prior to August 31. Rescuegrnss (e. Matra) Rescuegrass is a cool season grass and makes most of its growth from March -June and September -November. It should receive most of its N during the September -October and late February through May months. Limited data are available for realistic yields of rescuegrass on various soils and at various N levels in North Carolina. However, until further data is collected the following suggestions may be useful. 1. On sandy, well drained to excessively drained soils, rescuegrass may yield 1.5- 3 times fescue, assuming a uniform and dense stand of grass is present. North Carofirs State Umversty is a land- Dep rbwrlt of Crop Science grant u&nky and a Ow afto d intitulion of Ths Lhm r* d North Carotrna College of Agroultt re and 1.tfe Sciences Campus Box 7620 Raleigh, NC 27695-7620 919,5162647 919.515.7959 Pao 2. On wet or poorly drained soils, rescuegrass may yield .75 -1.0 tins as much as fescue. 3. On soils where both are well adapted the yields of rescuegrass may be 1-1.5 times more than fescue. The above RYE estimates assume that stand density is maintained through natural reseeding every year. Although rescuegrass is a "perennial" it does not maintain dense, satisfactory stands unless it is allowed to reseed every year. Even under this management it is likely that disease will affect one or more growths in some years. Application rates are to be based on the realistic N rates that address the N needs per ton of hay, a realistic yield and an appropriate application window. When harvested as hay, the N rate is similar to other cool season grasses such as fescue, ranging from 40-50 ibshon. Rescuegrass may also continue some growth in June -August if moisture is available. During these off-seasons, rescuegrass should not receive more than about 25 Ibs N/acre/month. Only apply 25 Ibs N/acre in June -August if the equivalent of 1-inch of water can be applied at the same time. If the crop does not respond with at least a 1000 lbs of growth within a 3-5 week period do not make another application until the plants have had the opportunity to use the previous application.

At no time should the effluent level rise above the maximum liquid level marker. • A visual inspection of the waste storage pond or lagoon will be performed at least twice a year. The inspector should check the condition of the dam and the emergency spillway. The inspector will need to look for signs of slope failure and seepage on the back slope and at the toe of the dam. Also, a very close look will need to be made to check for signs of damage due to varmint (ground hogs, muskrats, etc.) burrows. A visual inspection should also be made after heavy rainfall events to ensure that the structure is not experiencing erosion rills or gullies. Any problems found should be brought to the attention of the technical specialist for repair recommendations. • The waste storage pond or lagoon will need to be mowed twice a year. All eroded areas shall be repaired and stabilized. Areas that do not have an adequate ground cover shall be reseeded to provide a vegetative cover sufficient restrain erosion. The dam and all constructed slopes will need to be fertilized annually with 500 pounds of 10-10-10 per acre or its equivalent. • Maintain all waste handling equipment —pumping, loading, hauling, spreading, etc. -- in accordance with the manufacturers specifications. • All waste application shall be completed in accordance with the waste utilization plan. The waste storage pond or lagoon will be pumped at the end of each design -storage period 3 ZO days or _ I I months) or as needed due to excess rainfall.

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. 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. Soil types are important -as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities_ Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste -may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to'reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. . This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

NARRATIVE OF OPERATION.• This operation has a waste storage pond with 320 day of temporary storage. Fields 1,2, and 3 are established in bermuda grass and fescue as shown in table No. 1. Fields 4 and 5 are established in loblolly pine. Due to field shape, buffers, and irrigation system layout there is approximately 53.3 acres of effective irrigation coverage. Effluent from the waste storage pond will be applied by irrigation using a traveling gun systemThe bermuda grass will be overseeded in cereal rye in the winter ( see attached Memorandum from Dr. Tim Green). As with any system, the sludge will need to be removed at some point in time. When that becomes necessary, a waste analysis will need to be run on this material prior to application and a waste utilization plan prepared for the sludge. Additional lands off site will probably be needed for proper utilization_ 4 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEMENT NAME OF FARM: Lo aLOL-LY F'R RM OWNER/MANAGER AGREEMENT I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specification and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above.

Gibbons 3796 Bethlehem Church Rd Carthage, NC 28327 SUBJECT: NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY Loblolly Farm Facility No. 63 - 5 Moore County Dear Mr. Gibbons: On April 6, 1999, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality conducted a routine inspection on your swine facility located in Moore County. There was traces of wastewater observed in the ditch adjacent to one of the spray fields. There was also evidence indicating that wastewater had left the flush tank pipes at some point in time. It appeared that the wastewater had not left the farm site in either case. The General Permit issued to this facility on February 19,1998 states in condition 111.4 that 'An analysis of the animal waste shall be conducted as dose to the time of application as practical and at least within 60 days (before or after) of the date of application.'. The last waste sample available for review during the inspection was dated October 20,1998. Wastewater had been applied from January to April without a current waste sample. It was observed that portions of the inside slopes contained severe erosion directly beneath the discharge pipes from the buildings. There was also some erosion observed at the base of the lagoon dike. It appeared that some work has been started in this area, but the area still requires additional work to prevent further erosion. The Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) specifies that the pumping windows for the rye over seed is from September -October and February - March. A review of the irrigation records indicated that wastewater had been applied in January. The lagoon contained a substantial amount of sludge accumulation, and it appeared that some of the sludge was being applied through the irrigation system. This is why it is very important to have a current waste analysis in order to accurately determine the amount of nitrogen that is being applied. The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be performed: 1. Immediately evaluate and coned the waste management system to prevent any wastewater from being released by the piping system around the flush tanks. 2. Take a waste sample as close to the date of application as practical but at least 60 days before or 60 days after application as required by General Permit condition 111.4. 225 GREEN STREET, SUITE 714, FAYETTEVILLE, NORTM CAROLINA 28901-5048 P► oNE 010-486-1541 FAX 910-486-0707 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY / AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER - 50% RECYCLEW10% POST -CONSUMER PAPER r 1 3. Prevent all wastewater from entering the ditches adjacent to the spray fields. Explain why there was wastewater present in the ditch at the time of the inspection. 4. Repair the portions of the inside slopes that have eroded, and establish a suitable grass cover to prevent future erosion on all of the inside slopes of the lagoon. Continue to work on the erosion at the base of the lagoon dike. 5. Follow the pumping windows for each crop as specified in the CAWMP. 6. Consult with a technical specialist concerning sludge removal from the lagoon. This will need to be a part of the CAWMP. Please notify this office in writing on or before May 21, 1999 at the letterhead above as to the actions taken or proposed to be taken to resolve these deficiencies. Nothing in this letter should be taken as absolving this facility of the responsibility and liability of any violations that have or may result from these deficiencies.
