Kennedy Farm #1 PO Box 223 Newton Grove NC 28366 Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. NCA282019 Kennedy Farm #1 Swine Waste Collection, Treatment, Storage and Application System Sampson County Dear Warren Swine Farm, Inc.: On March 14, 2003, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued an NPDES General Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued to enable swine facilities in North Carolina to obtain coverage under a single permit that addresses both State and Federal requirements. In accordance with your application received on January 27, 2003, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Warren Swine Farm, Inc., authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with NPDES General Permit NCA200000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your COC Number AWS820019 to operate under State Non -Discharge Permit AWG100000. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Kennedy Farm #1, located in Sampson County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 7040 Feeder to Finish swine and the application to land as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until July 1, 2007. Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals. Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed General Permit. Since this is a new joint State and Federal general permit it contains many new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the current State general permit, Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay careful attention to the record keeping and monitoring conditions in this permit. The Devices to Automatically Stop Irrigation Events Form must be returned to the Division of Water Quality no later than 120 days following receipt of the Certificate of Coverage. The Animal Facility Annual Certification Form must be completed and returned to the Division of Water Quality by no later than March 1st of each year.

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 Permittee 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. Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking of the facility. Per 15A NCAC 2H .0225(c) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per MRCS standards a 100 foot separation shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon or any wetted area of a spray field. 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, the Clean Water Act and 40 CFR 122.41 including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief.

The plan is based on the soil types, crops to be grown, and method of application for your particular operation. The waste must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or ground water. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops 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 and annual soil tests are 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 and leaching potential'. Waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils or on land when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or not more than 30 days prior to planting. Soil incorporation of waste will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. It Page 2 The acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Annual acreage requirements may be more or less based on the waste analysis report for your waste: management facility.

Department of Environment and Natural Resources Water Quality Regional Supervisor 225 Green Street, Suite 714 Fayetteville, North Carolina 28301-5043 Re: ThompKenn Farm Facility #82-19 Sampson County Dear Mr. Rawls: TELEPHONE (9 1 O) 293-31 24 FAX (91 O) 293-7171 EMAIL thompson®dupllnnetcom SEP222000 REG. 0FRCE I am writing in response to your Letter addressed to my son, Eugene C. (Bron) Thompson, IV, dated September 12, 2000. Your letter indicated that we had been found in violation of the permit in that the lagoon level was less than the level required by DWQ on September 5, 2000 or to put it another way, was "in the red". Firstly, -we appreciate and acknowledge the rules and regulations enforced by your office and feel that 'it is appropriate and necessary to effect compliance for environmental purposes. I might add that we strive daily to comply with all regulations for the obvious reasons of not being in violation, but for the further reason of consideration for the environment and our neighbors. I am quite shocked at receiving this letter, since our farm manager and my son, who supervises the farm daily, were totally unaware that the lagoon level was ever close to being "in the red". I am advised that for the last six (6) months that we have not been within six (6) inches of red, since we have constantly tried to keep our lagoon levels lower than the minimum in anticipation of storms, etc. Obviously, this would answer the question why we did not report, since we were totally unaware of any violation. Even today as I write this letter, while we are experiencing a steady rain from the storm, Bron tells me that the level is probably ten (10) inches below the minimum. As you can see, I began to dictate this letter on Monday, the 18", but did not finish it until today, the 20". To be absolutely sure, I asked my song Bron, to insure. -the correct measurement this morning after we received the three inches of rain on Monday, the 18`h. As I understand the nineteen inch requirement is the level i � � r which we are required to maintain below the top of the stick which is the top of the lagoon. He assured me that as of today, September 20", that the level was at least twenty-four or twenty- five inches, five to six inches more than the nineteen inch requirement. Consequently, I cannot fathom how level could have been in violation on the 5` of September. I am also a little confused as to why your letter was not written until one week after the violation. It appears that had there been a violation and we were notified immediately, we could have taken immediate corrective action. It is our position, at this point, that there was no violation. I further have several questions, which are as follows: Firstly, I would like the name of the person who did the inspection and a copy of the report; Secondly, the standard and procedure upon which he measured; Thirdly, why we were not notified until over a week after the alleged violation; and Lastly, why the inspector went upon our farm when it is marked "No Trespassers" without first securing permission. We would have been happy to give permission, but feel we should have been present when the inspection took place. As T understand the regulations require that the level be nineteen inches below. It is our position that within the last six months we have never been less than twenty-five inches below and on the day of this letter we are approximately twenty five inches below. I will be happy to discuss this matter further. With my kindest regards, I am r '1 1 ups, T pson, ECT, I I I / j ko cc: Mr. Don Butler Mr. Richard L.

After we received the news of the possible discharge, Daddy and I were quite upset. I hope you understand that we want to do everything possible to comply with the environmental regulations which your office enforces. Certainly, we want to look after our neighbors, as well as run a good farm which, obviously, requires a compliance with all regulations. We did feel better this morning since it appeared, after looking at the ditch where you discovered the. water, that,this ditch does not run into a tributary. It is, in fact, blocked down toward the eastern end.' Consequently, it may be that there was no discharge into the "waters of the State". I promised that I would also advise you of the lagoon levels. The level was right at the minimum of nineteen (19) inches and on the new farm, it appeared to be a little into the red. Of course, this is after we have had the nine or ten inches of rain in the last ten days. After spending some 2-1/2 to 3 hours this morning, we intend to do the following to alleviate our problems and your problems with us. They are as follows: Purchase a new reel so that we will have one for each Farm and can reduce the lagoon levels much more rapidly. 2. While our farm manager, James Atkinson, is loyal, honest and devoted, it appears that he needs closer supervision and monitoring than we have provided before. Consequently, I will be spending more time on a constant basis. Dad will be monitoring also when 1 am not around. 3. We are also hiring additional help to assist James in the everyday tasks of the farm. We hired a man last week, but he thought the work was too hard. We will have another body in place within a few days. 4. We, also, are arming James with a cell phone so we can keep in constant communication with him at all times. We would, likewise, appreciate any suggestions you may have, since we do not wish to be on your "hit list". Sincerely, Bron Thomp ThompKenn Farms, Inc. PO Box 901 Warsaw, NC 28398 October 11, 2000 Bob Heath —' Suite 714, Wachovia Building Fayetteville, NC 28301-5043 Dear Bob Heath, Per niy telephone call to you back in the last week of September, the lagoon at ThompKenn Farms, Inc. houses 9-12 was "in the red", at a level of approximately 18". We had just experienced several days of heavy rain measuring about 10". As of just a few days later, we pumped that lagoon down to an acceptable level of 20". Now as of October 11, 2000, that lagoon level has been reduced to 32". We will still lower the level of that lagoon even more in the next few days. We have since increased our lagoon management practices in several different capacities. Firstly, we have purchased another reel that will operate when weather and ground saturation permits to help reduce lagoon levels at a more efficient rate. Next, we hired another employee that will help with daily tasks that the farm demands. Increasing our manpower will allow constant supervision of lagoon levels and pumping operations. Also, we have made arrangements to plant rye as our cover crop for the winter months. It will be planted within one week. In a continuing effort to adhere to environmental regulations, I expect you to find that these changes in ThompKenn'Farms' operations will in fact lead to better overall farm performance, especially with lagoon management. Respectfully, Bron Thompson ThompKenn Farms, Inc. October 25, 2000 Mr. Paul E. Rawls N.C. Department of Environmental Health and Natural Resources DWQ 225 Green Street, Suite 714, Systel Building Fayetteville, North Carolina 28301-5043 Re: Permit No. AWS 820019 ThompKenn Farm #1 Facility No. 82-19 Sampson County Dear Mr. Rawls: NOV 0 2 2000 I was somewhat surprised at receiving your letter of October 20, 2000, concerning a report of a possible discharge violation especially since it has been a month ago today. In addressing the circumstances surrounding the possible discharge, I recall the facts to be that someone made a complaint of a possible wind blown mist when they were traveling down State Road 1722. Apparently, after the complaint, Robert Heath came to our farm and there was a little ponding in the fields since there had been a ten or twelve inch rain several days prior to the 25"' of September. Mr. Heath also observed some water in the ditch adjacent to State Road 1722. It was not determined whether this was rainwater or whether, in fact, it was discharge. Mr. Heath nor any employee of ThompKenn Farms observed runoff into the ditch. I immediately conferred by telephone on several occasions with Mr. Heath. Mr. Heath assured me that lie would have the water tested for any nitrogen and if it turned out to be positive, he would let me know within the next week. I have never heard from Mr. Heath and therefore assumed that there was no discharge even into this ditch. I have discussed with my farm manager the sentence in your letter indicating that Mr. Heath recommended that we "....begin emergency measures to include the construction of an earthen berm..." and my farm manager had indicated that Mr. Heath never said anything to him to this effect, nor has it been recommended to me. Also, the next morning I inspected the ditch and it was blocked or dammed toward the eastern end of the ditch. To put it another way, it was simply dead ended, consequently, no wastewater could have flowed into any canal, especially in view of the small quantity of water. Our farm manager was present on the premises on this occasion and was approached and t *J talked to by Mr. Robert Heath. In any event, since that occasion, as reflected by the enclosed correspondence, we are keeping constant supervision "during any irrigation event", we have hired an additional employee to assist our farm manager Mr. Atkins, we have purchased an additional reel which allows us to keep the lagoon levels at a much more acceptable level. As of yesterday, our lagoon levels were approximately 32 inches on both farms. .r. I am somewhat perplexed at your request that we provide a response, since we feel that we have responded verbally on three occasions and by letter to Bob Heath on September 26 and October 11. Mr. Heath has not advised us that any nitrogen was found in the water sample taken from the ditch adjacent to SR 1722, we obviously assumed it was rainwater as opposed to "run off'. Also, my information is that Mr. Heath agreed that perhaps the run off did not get into the "waters of the State". In closing, I would like to say that we feel now we have made the necessary adjustments to prevent any violations, as reflected in my previous correspondence. I appreciate the job your department does and we are striving to comply with your regulations in order to keep our own environment clean and healthy.

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 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. i Page 1 T t E 3 `'` WASTE LJi'ILiZATIQ;NP& N , Amount of Waste Produced Per Year (gallons, ft. tons, etc.) 7,040 animals X 1_9 (tons) waste/animal/year 13,376 (tons) waste/year.

Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 90 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strip). 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. Page 5 .r REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 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 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 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 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. Page 6 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 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 ,g human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human r consumption it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications 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 monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metal 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.
