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 craps 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 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
bolding 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
L 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 Kesponsibility 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, MRCS 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 offske 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.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------
683366 Database Version 3.1 Date Primed: 2232004 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. Wastelnutrient 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.
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
The following crop note applies to field(s): 4
Corn 1: CP, Mineral Soiljow-leachable
In the Coastal Plain; corn is normally planted when soil temperatures reach 52 to 55 degrees fahrenheit.
Review the Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high
yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Plant 1-2" deep. Plant
populations should be determined by the hybrid being planted. Increase the seeding rate by 10% when
planting no -till. Phosphorus and potassium recommended by a soil test can be broadcast or banded at
planting. When planting early in cool, wet soil, banded phosphorus will be more available to the young
plants. An accepted practice is to apply 20-30 lbs/acre N and 20-30 lbs/acre phosphorus banded as a
starter and one-half the remaining N behind the planter. The rest of the N should be applied about 30-40
days after emergence. The total amount of N is dependent on soil type. When including a starter in the
fertilizer program, the recommended potassium and any additional phosphorus is normally broadcast at
planting. Plant samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status
of the corn. Timely management of weeds and insects are essential for corn production.

The following crop note applies to field(s): I
Bermudagrass Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Poorly Drained to Somewhat Poorly Drained.
Adaptation: Effective artificial drainage MUST be in place to achieve Realistic Yield Expectations
provided for these soils.
In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. I to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs 1" to 3"
deep (1.5" optimal). 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 l' 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.

Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. AWS780052
Jack McLean Farm
Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Robeson County
Dear John McLean:
On June 11, 2004, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued a revised State General
Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill
733 (Session Law 2003-28).
In accordance with your application received on March 21, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of
Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to John
McLean, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Permit AWGI00000. The issuance of this COC
supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS780052 which expires October 1, 2004.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Jack McLean Farm, located in Robeson County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than an annual average of 2496 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 September 30, 2009. 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. Since this is a revised State
General Permit, it contains new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the
previous 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 kee ing
and monitoring conditions in this permit.

Dear John McLean:
On April 28, 2003, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the
Division of_Water Quality (Division) to extend the expiration date of the Swine Waste Operation General
Permit AWG100000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the
expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with
all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit.
In accordance with your application received on March 21, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of
Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to John
McLean, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The issuance of this COC
supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS780052 which expired on April 30, 2003.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Jack McLean Farm, located in Robeson County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than an annual average of 2496 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 October 1, 2004. 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.
If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, 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.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Perznittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property. A

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.
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.

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.

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).
------------------------ -------------- ------ -----------.-------- ----------------------------------
724363 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: i 0/25/02 Specification Page 1

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.
g. 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.
----------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------- ---------------------------------
724363 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: ] 0/25/02 Specification Page 2

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.

724363 Database Version 2.0 Date I anted: 10/25/02 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 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.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CERTIFICATION OF APPROVED ANIMAL WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANS FOR
EXISTING ANIMAL WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS SERVING FEEDLOTS
is • DRV WDJ; ' •
F
In order to be deemed permitted by the Division of Environmental Management
(DEM), the owner of any existing animal waste management system constructed and
operational before January 1, 1994 which is designed to serve greater than or
equal to the animal populations listed below is required to submit a signed
certification form to DEM befoZe ZTAQU31ry 1, 1998. Pasture operations are
exempt from the requirement to be certified.
100 head of cattle =
75 horses
250 swine
1,000 sheep
30,000 birds with a liquid waste system
The certification must be signed by the owner of the feedlot (and manager if
different from the owner) and by any technical specialist designated by the Soil
and Water, Conservation Commission pursuant to 15A NCAC 6F .0001- .0005. The
technical, specialist must verify that all applicable operation and maintenance
standards and specifications can be met. Existing systems are not required to
meet design and construction standards and specifications.
Although the actual number of animals on the facility may vary from time to time,
the design capacity of the waste handling system should be used to determine if
a farm is subject to the certification requirement. For example, if the waste
system for a feedlot is designed to handle 300 hogs but the average population
will be 200 hogs, then the waste management system requires a certification.
This certification is required by regulations governing animal waste management
systems adopted by the Environmental Management Commission (EMC) on December 10,
1992 (Title 15A NCAC 2H .0217).
On the reverse side of this page is the certification form which must be
submitted to DEM before January 1, 1998. Assistance in completing the form can
be obtained from one of the local agricultural_ agencies such as the Soil and
Water Conservation District, the USDA -Soil Conservation Service, or the N-C.
Cooperative Extension Service. The completed form should be sent to:

Attachment A
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 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 (RMS) 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 field for guidance.)

- Attachment A
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
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 conditions conducive to odor or flies and
provide uniformity of application.
S. 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 no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf
area is covered with solids.
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 overspraying.
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 only then at agronomic rates provided the
application causes no runoff or drift from the site.

(continued)
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities,
showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into
the animal waste management system.
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures
must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate
storage for a•25-year, 24-hour storm event•in addition to
the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
18. 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.
19. 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.
20. 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.

Producer: JOHN MCLEAN
Location: RT.1 BOX 277
MAXTON NC 28364
Telephone: 910 - 521- 04 81
Type Operation: Existing Feeder to Finish Swine
Number of Animals: 2496.00 hogs
{Design Capacity}
STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon
APPLICATION METHOD: 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 xeduce 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
1
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 un-
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.)
2496 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hags/year = 4742.4 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
2496 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 5740.8 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.

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 923.52 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 4617.6
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 15.392 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 36.9408 acres.
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 2511 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

assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over
applied. In many situations, the application amount shown cannot
be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil
conditions.
Your facility is designed for 180.00 days of temporary storage and the
temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6.00
months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored in
your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot
of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to
ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the
correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may
make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis
report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and
the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.

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.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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 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. Animal waste other than
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,
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.
Page: 10

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
1 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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 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 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.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North
Carolina regulations.

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes frog your
operation are leaking, overflowing, or running off site. 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
may or 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 lagoon 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 - actions
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 --
actions 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.
e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
Page 1

EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN
E. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this
is seepage as opposed to flowing leaks - possible
actions:
a. Dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a
submersible pump and pump back to lagoon.
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 water?
B. Approximately how much waste was released and for what
duration?
C. Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or
property?
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 the surface waters?
3. Contact appropriate agencies.
A. During normal business hours, call your DWQ (Division of
Water Quality) regional office, 910 486-1541; after hours
emergency number is 919 733-3942. Your phone call should
include: your name, facility, phone number, the details of
incident from item #2 above, the exact location of
facility, the location of direction of movement of the
spill, weather and wind conditions, the corrective measures
that have been under taken, and the seriousness of the
situation.
B. If spill leaves property or enters surface waters, call
local EMS, (Emergency Management Services) 910 671-3150.
C. Instruct EMS to contact local Health Department.
D. Contact CBS (County Extension Service) 910 671-3276,
Robeson SWCD (Soil and Water conservation District) 910
739-5478, and USDA-NRCS (Natural Resources Conservation
Service) 910 739-5478 for advice and technical assistance.
4. If none of the above can be reached call 911 or the Sheriff's
Department 910 671-3100 and explain your problem to them and
ask that person to contact the proper agencies for you.
5. Contact the contractor of your choice to begin repair of
problem to minimize off -site damage.
A. Contractor Name:GOODYEAR CONSTRUCTION CO.
B. Contractor Address:1165COWPEN SWAMP RD., FAIRMONT NC__28340

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
--------------------------------
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) with
minimum odor control. The time required for the planned fluid level
to be reached (permanent + temporary storage) may vary due to
flushing operations and the amount of fresh water to be added to the
system.
The designed 6 months temporary storage is an estimated volume
based on : 1) waste from animals; 2) excess rainfall after
evaporation; and 3) the largest 24 hour (one day) rainfall that
occurs on the average of once every 25 years. The volume of
waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly
constant throughout the year and from year to year. This
estimate is based on 7 inches of excess rainfall which is
equal to or exceeds the highest 6 months excess in a year.
The average annual excess rainfall is approximately 8 inches.
Therefore, an average of 8 inches of excess rainfall will
need to be pumped each year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a
factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage
volume must always be available. A maximum elevation is
determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually
the outlet invert of pipe(s) from building (s) . If the outlet
pipe is not installed on the elevation to begin pumping, a
permanent marker. must be installed on this elevation to
indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be
established to stop pumping to maintain minimum treatment depth
(6 feet). Pumping can be started or stopped any time between
these two elevations for operating convenience as site
conditions permit (weather, soils, crop, and equipment to apply
waste without runoff or leaching).
Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable
method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set,
center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should
be taken when applying waste to prevent runoff from the field
or damage to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is strongly recommended tha the treatment lagoon be pre -
charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during
start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids
should be covered with effluent at all times. When pre -
charging is completed, flush buildings with recycled lagoon
liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after
initial filling.
2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed.
This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see
Attachment B) before land application.

3. Begin pump —out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva—
tion 4_9.40 as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump —out
when the fluid level reaches elevation 47.30 or before
fluid depth is less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of
'k favorable bacteria). The design temporary storage, less 25 year
storm is 82488 cubic feet or 617009 gallons. As stated
before, this volume will vary considerably from year to year.
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one
(1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.4
inches per hour.
5. Keep vegetation on embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon
mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to
maintain a vigorous stand.
6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
establish in vegetation.
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to
stable outlets.
S. Keep a minimum of 100 feet cropland buffer or 25 feet of grass
vegetated buffer around waste utilization fields, particularly adjacent
to ponds, lakes, streams, open ditches, etc. Do not pump within
300 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a we I I .
9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of
pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ—
mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System
Jack McLean Farm
Facility Number 78-52
Robeson County
Dear John McLean:
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 John Hasty on 2/25/99 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 John Hasty the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to John Hasty, 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 John Hasty at [phone]. If within 90 days you are unable
to provide John Hasty 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.

Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System
Page 2
Category 2:
Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal
waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates
set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him
or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must
be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct
Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension
Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation
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 made 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 should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Sonya Avant of our
