RE: NOV - inadequate Freeboard & Request for Information
Farm Pork Plus
Facility 82 — 25
Sampson County
Dear Mr. Rawls;
The Murphy Brown LLC, Kenansville Division is responding to the NOV for the high freeboard
reported to your office on 3121103.
Information requested:
1.) Current Freeboard - 25 inches on 4128103 report
2.) 12 month freeboard levels — see attachment
3.) 12 months irrigation records — see attachment
4.) 12 months rainfall records — see attachment
5.) CAW MP — see attachment
6.) Summary of actions taken to bring the freeboard back to compliance levels:
a.) Activated the Emergency Operating Procedure for Water Usage when the lagoon
level dropped below 24 inches.
b.) No restocking occurred when the lagoon freeboard level dropped to less than 19
inches.
c.) Used the nutrient management program as it was designed to contain waste water in
the lagoon until the LNM could safely apply to sprayfields as outlined in the CAWMP.
The system protected waters of the state, the environment, and allowed us to utilize
the nutrients in a cropping program at an appropriate time.
d.) When lagoon levels reached 21 inches, the lagoons were monitored daily by
production and LNM (production monitors daily and LNM weekly under normal
operations per the EMS program).
e.) A new PoA was submitted on 4117103 to transfer waste water to Farm CMI (Facility 82
—38).
7.) Description of water conservation measures in uses - Water meter records use. Readings are
taken weekly and reported. Weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly reports are used to track water
usage against established goals for a specific farm type. The division set in motion a plan to install
water conservation measures for each farm that did not have water conservation devices in place in
September 02. The farms were ranked and scheduled for installation. Pressure regulators and
swinging waterers were installed in the finishing buildings. The work was completed on 11119102.
8.) Lagoon level still in violation of the permit. — No, reported in compliance on 4123103.
9.) Detailed description of the actions taken or proposed to be taken to insure that there are no
further freeboard violations at this facility. -- The facility and system worked as it was designed

to protect the environment. BMA's will be used to manage the system. The Murphy Brown
LLC Environmental Management Systems goal of continual improvement will drive the goal
for compliance.
The Murphy Brown LLC, Kenansville Division has submitted the information requested with
this letter. I respectfully request to be involved with the review process of this NOV and answer any
questions that you may have..
There should be further consideration of information that goes back to last year since the
recently requested information covers that period of time. There was a request for a variance to go
below the stop pump mark in order to agronomically apply to crops stressed due to the drought.
This request was made to the Division of Water Quality in mid summer but the industry did not
receive confirmation until late fall when it was too late.
The frequency of rainfall during the winter impacted the ability to land apply nutrients in an
environmentally safe manner as much as the actual rainfall amount itself.
The waste management system function as designed thru an extended abnormal weather
pattern. The system was effectively managed and served to protect the environment. We have
worked with the Division of Water Quality in our mutual goal of protecting our environment. I
request that the NOV be rescinded after a review of the submitted information.
Please call me when you are ready to review the information or if you require additional
information. Thank You.
Sincerely,
David Nordin

Sampson County
Dear Sir or Madam:
On March 21, 2003, a representative of your animal operation informed the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) that there was inadequate freeboard in the lagoon(s) serving this facility.
This lack of adequate freeboard is in non-compliance with the Certificate of Coverage

on complete evaluation of all factors that resulted in the inadequate freeboard; the actions taken
to restore the needed freeboard; and the actions being proposed to prevent the problem from
reoccurring.
To assist us in our review, please provide the Fayetteville Regional Office with an
evaluation of the reasons for the freeboard violation(s) and a strategy to prevent future freeboard
violation(s). This evaluation and strategy must include but is not limited to the following:

Re: Request for remission or mitigation of civil penalty
assessed against Pork Plus farm (farm #82-25)
Dear Mr. Lewis:
P O Box 856
Warsaw, NC 28398
July 28, 2000
N,J G 2 2C'O'J
1'I!jjrErt �.`t1r1.t.I.1.Y `i.i^•s:it)I i
By this letter I formally request that the $7,319.60 civil penalty assessed against Pork Plus be rescinded or at least substantially
reduced. I certainly feel that the assessment is excessive in light of the particular circumstances outlined below:
1. I have operated this facility for more than twenty years without any Notices of Violation or discharges to waters of the state.
2. The language used in the DWQ assessment letter "making an outlet to the waters of the State" is preposterous. At no time
and in no way have 1 made any kind of outlet to waters of the state.
3. The incident which occurred on February 10, 2000 where a small amount of wastewater escaped from one of the houses
was an accident. An obstruction of some kind blocked the discharge pipe to the lagoon causing some water to leave the
building. This leak occurred for a very brief period before it was discovered by the farm employees. Upon discovery,
immediate steps were taken to stop the flow of water, unclog the discharge pipe, dam up the water outside the bam, pump
the wastewater into the lagoon, and notify DWQ in accordance to the legal requirements.
4. The incident of February 10, 2000 discussed in the proceeding paragraph could not have reasonably been anticipated, or
prevented given the past 20 years of operation under similar management practices without any previous occurrences of this
nature. The obstruction in the discharge line was not visible to the farm manager. This was a freak accident.
5. The issue of high freeboard levels is complicated. Higher than normal freeboard levels were widespread in Sampson,
Duplin, and other counties after the record rainfall and flooding after the hurricanes of last year. As indicated in DWQ's
assessment letter Pork Plus management did properly notify the proper authorities of high liquid levels on 10118199,
11126199, 12128199, 116100, 2117100 and 6124100. Like many other pork producers the management at Pork Plus had to walk
a fine line between not allowing their lagoons to fill up and applying wastewater to saturated fields, a no win predicament.
As if this situation were not difficult enough, the decision makers within DWQ gave conflicting sets of instructions to
farmers about how to proceed. When DWQ finally made up its mind and gave clear guidance to producers (see guidance
memo attached) Pork Plus followed the guidance to the letter. A pian of action was properly prepared, sent to DWQ, and
carried out on the farm.
To have pumped more liquid on wet fields in the period following the storms would have posed a far more serious threat to
the environment than keeping the liquid in the lagoon until the sprayfields were sufficiently dry to apply waste in a
responsible manncr.
In conclusion, to impose severe financial penalties on farmers as a result of a small freak accident or as a result of his exercising
prudent judgement in deciding not to pump on saturated sprayfields is wrong. 1 respectfully request that the assessment levied
against Pork Plus in this matter be substantially reduced or rescinded in its entire ur favorable reply to my request will be
appreciated.

Notice of Recommendation for Enforcement
Permit No. AWS 820025

Facility No. 82 - 25
Sampson County
Dear Mr. Faison:
You are hereby notified that, having been permitted to have a non -discharge
permit for the subject animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H
.0217, you have been found to be in violation of your 2H .0217 Permit.
On February 10, 2000, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the
Division of Water Quality inspected the Pork Plus swine facility in Sampson
County due to an anonymous complaint regarding the stream adjacent to the subject
facility. It was observed that wastewater had left the back of building #6 due to a
problem with one of the discharge lines. Wastewater was observed in the surface
water drainage ditch as well as an Unnamed Tributary (UT) of Bakers Branch
which is Class "C SW" waters. Two earthen berms had been constructed in the
surface water drainage ditch. The DWQ regional office was not notified of the
discharge until after the investigation had been conducted and Howard Hobson, a
Carroll's employee, had been informed of the problem.
The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be addressed:
1. Provide a detailed explanation as to why the discharge occurred and what steps
have been taken to assure incidents of this nature do not occur in the future.

2. Please explain why the discharge of animal waste was not reported to the DWQ regional office
as required by the General Permit.
3. Please explain when the discharge was discovered and what specific actions were taken once the
problem was identified.
Failure to comply with the above conditions may result in the facility's General Permit being
revoked and being required to obtain an individual non -discharge permit for the facility.
Please be advised that this notice does not prevent the Division of Water Quality from taking
enforcement actions for this violation or any past or future violation. Furthermore, the Division of
Water Quality has the authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $25,000.00 per day per
violation.
You are hereby notified that based on the above information the Fayetteville Regional Office
of the Division of Water Quality has no choice but to consider sending recommendations for
enforcement action to the Director of the Division of Water Quality. The recommendation concerns
the violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 for discharging wastewater into the
surface waters of the State from a non -discharge facility and for failing to report the discharge as
required in General Permit condition 1I1.6.g.
If you have an explanation for these violations that you wish to present to this office please
forward a detailed explanation, in writing, of the events noted and why you feel that this office
should not proceed with recommendations for enforcement. This response should be received by
this office on or before March 24, 2000. A copy of this response will also need to be submitted to

Dear Mr. Rawls,
2 6 �0�2
Brown's of Carolina Farm, Pork Plus, reported an accidental wastewater
discharge on May 13, 2002, resulting in wastewater entering an unnamed tributary of
Bakers Branch. A report of this incident was sent to the Division of Water Quality on
May 16, 2002 (see attached copy).
The root cause of the problem was a clogged discharge line. Upon discovery
of the discharge, the blockage was removed and the discharge system returned to
normal working order, All waste from the accidental discharge was captured and
returned to the lagoon.
The Brown's of Carolina EMS program makes a commitment to continuous
improvement for the environmental program, A review of the incident and in this
case, due to the close proximity to the branch, a corrective action/work order was
submitted to Murphy -Brown, LLC engineering and heavy equipment to install
permanent secondary containment basins on or before Sept. 23, 2002.
In this particular case, the above stated corrective action is, in our opinion,
appropriate for this farm site and should answer your request of additional
information in the letter dated June 10, 2002.
To the best of our knowledge, Brown's of Carolina has complied with all of
the provisions of the permit for the Pork Plus Farm. The response, remediation,
root cause analysis, and appropriate corrective action reflects the commitment to
our Emergency Management System (in turn, our regulatory responsibility as
well). If l can be of any further help, please call me at 910-296-1800 ext. 238.

Re: Accidental Discharge at Pork Plus
Facility # 82-25
Sampson County
Dear Mr. Sherman,
Brown's of Carolina reported a spill to the Division of Water Quality on
Monday, May 13, 2002. The complex manager found the incident on his routine
inspection of the farm site at approximately 9:30 am. He immediately contacted
the farm manager and initiated the Emergency Action Plan. The EAP is a critical
component of the Environmental Management System.
The root cause of the problem was a clogged discharge line that caused
water to back up in the house and exit through the pit exhaust fan. The incident
possibly started Sunday, May 12, 2002 at some point in time after the farm
employees finished work at 11:00 am. The recycle pump was not run due to the
short workday. The 650 pigs in the finishing building were at the 12`" week of the
finishing cycle, which would have put the water usage at 1.5 gal/pig/day. The
window that the incident could have started was 22'/2 hours (94% of one day).
The spill was approximately 917 gallons (94% X 1.5 gal/head/day) of which
approximately 55 gallons was contained on site and 862 gallons reached an
unnamed waterway.
The water flow in the branch was not discernable from a visual inspection
(due impart to the drier than usual conditions). Several intermediate dams were
put in the branch with burial containment occurring where the branch crosses Bill
Williamson Road. The wastewater and fresh water was thoroughly contained at
this point. A pump was set up at the mid -point of the spill and pumped back into
the lagoon. The end point on Bill Williamson road was pumped into a tank and
hauled back to the lagoon. Fresh water was used to flush the spill site and the
branch to containment points to help ensure a thorough clean up. The amount of
fresh water and wastewater pumped into the lagoons was 54,800 gallons (a

great deal of fresh water was added to aid in a thorough clean up) at a cost of
$1055.3#.
A work order was sent on May 16, 2002 to Murphy -Brown LLC
Engineering to design containment structures at this site in order to address a
future potential problem.
The sequence of events in this instance demonstrated the effectiveness of
the Emergency Action Plan a component of the company's Environmental
Management System (EMS). Identification of the problem, notification to
responsible parties, containment and remediation were in a timely efficient
manner.
To the best of our knowledge, Brown's of Carolina has complied with all of
the provisions of the permit for the Pork Plus Farm. If i can be of any further
help, please call me at 910-2961800 ext. 238.

RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
Brown's of Carolina, LLC
Attn: Mr. David Nordin
P.O. Box 487
Warsaw, NC 28398
SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Pork Plus Swine Farm
Permit No. AWS0820025
Facility No. 82-25
Sampson County
Dear Mr. Nordin:
William G. Ross Jr., Secretary
Alan Klimek, P.E., Director
Division of Water Quality
You are hereby notified that, having been permitted to have a non discharge permit for the subject
animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0217, you have been found to be in violation
of your 2H .0217 permit.
On May 13, 2002 a representative of Brown's of Carolina informed the Fayetteville Regional Office
of the Division of Water Quality that a discharge of wastewater had occurred at the above referenced
facility and that wastewater had reached Waters of the State. Representatives from the Fayetteville
Regional Office visited the facility to investigate the discharge and review the remediation efforts. The
discharge occurred due to a clogged discharge pipe in one of the swine confinement houses. The waste
exited the house though a pit fan and traveled overland to a storm water diversion ditch. Waste traveled
down gradient of the storm water diversion into an unnamed tributary of Bakers Branch. Because the
flush tanks had not been operating over the holiday weekend, the discharge amount was estimated to be
less than 1000 gallons. Remediation efforts stopped the waste from leaving the facility's property
boundary. No evidence of waste was discovered downstream of the facility.
The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be addressed:
1. Submit response detailing the actions taken or proposed to be taken to prevent a similar incident in
the future.

Please be advised that this letter does not prevent the Division of Water Quality from taking
enforcement actions for this incident or any past or future violation. Furthermore, the Division of Water
Quality has the authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $25,000.00 per day per violation.
Please provide this office with a written response on or before June 26 2002. If you have any
questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Paul Sherman, Environmental
Engineer, or myself at (910) 4$6-1541.

Emergency notification of discharge on farm site by Dave Nordin. Waste exited house #5 (?) through the pit fan and entered the storm
water diversion ditch and associated pipes. Waste flow continued overland to the head waters of an unnamed tributary of Bakers Branch.
Temporary dams were constucted and waste flow was contained with -in the property boundary. Due to the recent low rainfall conditions
there was little to no flow in the UT.
Downstream conditions were examined by FRO-DWQ staff to confirm that no waste flowed off of the farm property, Wastewater and
freshwater mixture was recovered and returned to the lagoon. Additional freshwater was used to flush the ponded wastewater firom the
storm diversion ditch and stream bed. continued next page)

Cause of the discharge was identified by farm representives as a clogged discharge pipe in the house. The flush tanks had not been
activated due to the Mother's Day holiday on Sunday, Discharge flow was attributed to accumulation of excreted waste and excess
fresh water in the house in the past 24 hours. Maximun discharge amount was estimated at less than 1000 gallons.

Re: Accidental Discharge at Pork Plus
Facility # 82-25
Sampson County
Dear Mr. Sherman,
LMAY0 2�OZ
Brown's of Carolina reported a spill to the Division of Water Quality on
Monday, May 13, 2002. The complex manager found the incident on his routine
inspection of the farm site at approximately 9:30 am. He immediately contacted
the farm manager and initiated the Emergency Action Plan. The EAP is a critical
component of the Environmental Management System.
The root cause of the problem was a clogged discharge line that caused
water to back up in the house and exit through the pit exhaust fan. The incident
possibly started Sunday, May 12, 2002 at some point in time after the farm
employees finished work at 11:00 am. The recycle pump was not run due to the
short workday. The 650 pigs in the finishing building were at the 12th week of the
finishing cycle, which would have put the water usage at 1.5 gal/pig/day. The
window that the incident could have started was 221/2 hours (94% of one day).
The spill was approximately 917 gallons (94% X 1.5 gal/head/day) of which
approximately 55 gallons was contained on site and 862 gallons reached an
unnamed waterway.
The water flow in the branch was not discernable from a visual inspection
(due impart to the drier than usual conditions). Several intermediate dams were
put in the branch with burial containment occurring where the branch crosses Bill
Williamson Road. The wastewater and fresh water was thoroughly contained at
this point. A pump was set up at the mid -point of the spill and pumped back into
the lagoon. The end point on Bill Williamson road was pumped into a tank and
hauled back -to the lagoon. Fresh water was used to flush the spill site and the
branch to containment points to help ensure a thorough clean up. The amount of
fresh water and wastewater pumped into the lagoons was 54,800 gallons (a

great deal of fresh water was added to aid in a thorough clean up) at a cost of
$1055.34.
A work order was sent on May 16, 2002 to Murphy -Brown LLC
Engineering to design containment structures at this site in order to address a
future potential problem.
The sequence of events in this instance demonstrated the effectiveness of
the Emergency Action Plan a component of the company's Environmental
Management System (EMS). Identification of the problem, notification to
responsible parties, containment and remediation were in a timely efficient
manner.
To the best of our knowledge, Brown's of Carolina has complied with all of
the provisions of the permit for the Pork Plus Farm. If I can be of any further
help, please cap me at 910-296-1800 ext, 238.

emporary dams were constucted and waste flow was contained with -in the property boundary. Due to the recent low rainfall conditions
sere was little to no flow in the UT.
Downstream conditions were examined by FRO-DWQ staff to confirm that no waste flowed off of the farm property. Wastewater and

DWQ has always attempted to work with all parties in an effort to
provide assistance and guidance for the management of waste at animal
facilities. Unfortunately, with the recent winter storms and frozen
application sites, several facilities have been identified with lagoon
waste levels higher than that required to be maintained for structural
stability.
Tommy, Coleen and i have had conversations with several of you over the
past few days regarding these problems and as per your request the
following guidance has been developed. Until further notice, the
following procedures are to be followed when you become aware of
problems with high lagoon levels.
A. When facilities are identified with waste in their lagoon(s) above
the level required to be maintained for structural stability.
1. The producer will be required to submit a plan of action within 24
hours to lower and maintain the lagoon level to a point below that
needed for both structural stability and the 25 year, 24 hour rainfall
event.
2. DWQ can not and will not condone any discharge of waste from the
2 of3 01/29/2000 10:50 AIM

facility to the surface waters as part of the management plan.
3. DWQ can not and will not condone the land application of waste at
levels above that specified by the facility's CAWMP or in violation of
any other part of the CAWMP.
4. The producer should consider pump and haul to another facility, that
can adequately manage the waste in accordance with its CAWMP, as part -of
their plan.
5. If the producer's plan can not adequately demonstrate the ability to
reduce the lagoon level below that required for structural stability
within 5 calendar days without the removal of animal from the
facilities, then immediate removal of animals must be a component of
this plan. The number of animal removed must be to a level at which the
producer can adequately demonstrate the ability to manage the lagoon
level below the level needed for both structural stability and the 25
year, 24 hour -storm event.
S. When facilities are identified with waste in their lagoon(s) below
the level required to be maintained for structural stability but not
adequate to also retain the 25 year, 24 hour rainfall event.
1. The producer will be required to submit a plan of action within 48
hours to lower and maintain the lagoon level to a point below that
needed for both structural stability and the 25 year, 24 hour rainfall
event.
2. DWQ can not and will not condone any discharge of waste from the
facility to the surface waters.as part of the management plan.
3. DWQ'can not and will not condone the land application of waste at
levels.above that specified by the facility's CAWMP or in violation of
any other part of the CAWMP. .
4. The producer should consider pump and haul to another facility, that
can adequately manage the waste in accordance with its CAWMP, as part of
this plan.
5. If the producer's plan can not adequately demonstrate the ability to
reduce the lagoon level below that required for both structural
stability and the 25 year, 24 hour rainfall event within 30 days (or
before the lagoon'level is projected to rise to a level above that
required for structural stability if less than 30 days) without the
removal of animal from the facilities, then removal of animals most be a
component of this plan. The number of animal removed must be to a level
at which the producer can adequately demonstrate the ability to manage
the lagoon level below the level needed for both structural stability
and the 25 year, 24 hour storm event.
C. If a producer does not provide DWQ with a plan that demonstrates the
ability to manage their waste in the time lines listed in A. and B.
above, DWQ will proceed to court to ask the court to mandate that the
appropriate actions be taken.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Tommy,
Coleen or me.
Thanks

Dear Mr. Rawls:
Re: January 10, 2001 - slaughter correction
During a recent audit by Smithfield Packing's Accounting Department - Tar
Heel facility, a discrepancy was found for the month of January. On Wednesday,
January 10, 2001 the kill for that day was not recorded - 28,007, which increased
the total to 544,018 for the month. All months have been changed to reflect this
error.
I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Subject: Certification of Coverage No. AWS820025, Pork Plus, Sampson County
Dear Ms. Homewood:
T am requesting that a new Certificate of Coverage be issued for the above faun for 4200
Feeder to Finish swine. The farm is registered for 6000 head. I have recently completed
removing the sludge from the lagoon. Based upon a topographical survey and an
engineering check of the existing "as built" volume of the lagoon, the population can be
increased to 4200 head. This is based upon the total volume of 756494 cubic feet, 110
day temporary storage and a WUP with more than required available land. My future
plans are to retro -fit the existing waste management system in order to return to the
registered amount of 6000 head.
1f additional data is needed, please call me or Howard Hobson, Technical Specialist at
910 293-3434.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
------------------------
Producer-----:FAISON INVESTMENTS, LLC County: SAMPSON
Name of Farm -:PORK PLUS
Location -----:PO BOX 856
WARSAW, NC 28398
Phone --------:910 293-3434
Type Operation-------------: FEED -FIN
Number of Animal-----------: 4200
Storage Structure----------: Anaerobic Lagoon
Method of application------: Irrigation
Amount of waste produced per year---------------: 7980 tons/year
Amount of plant available N (PAN) produced/year-: 9660 lbs./year
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 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:
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 not be applied to land eroding at more
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
in runoff to the surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ
regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoild 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.

?age 2
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 on
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 the 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.

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 applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while
meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require
farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only
addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in
bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing, hay and/or
silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a
height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants
Page 4
are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain
etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised
not to to let small grain to reach maturity, especially late in
the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain
gets too high and this will definitely interfere with stand of
bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and
less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for
hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you
are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the
season, depending on time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September
or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting.
Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two
inches before drilling for best results.
Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals
under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning may occur in
livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is
recommended.
Acres shown in the 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 field 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 provision 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

nitrogen per year in the sludge.
If you remove sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately
7560 lbs. of PAN to utilize. assuming you apply this PAN to
hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs. of nitrogen
per acre, you will need 25 acres of land. If you apply the
sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lbs. of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 60 acres of land. Please be aware that these are
only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements
could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil
types, realistic yields, and application methods.
Page 5
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. Failure to apply the
recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the table may
make this plan invalid.
The following table is provided as a guide for establishing
application rates and amounts.
Applic Applic
Tract Field Soil Rate Amount
No. No. Type Crop (in/hr) (inches)

This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil
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 days of temporary storage and
the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every
6 months. In no instances should the volume of the waste be stored
in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or
Page 6
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 the tables. 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.

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 nroner.ly annlv the waste. If the producer does not own

copy of a notarized 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, 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 discretation 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 -Filter Strips)
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste of 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 and flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste should applied to saturated soils, during rainfall
events, or when the surface is frozen.
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.
Page 9
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 10/1/95, shall
not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This

vided 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 approved as a land applications site by a "technical
specialist". Animal waste applied on grassed waterways shall
be at 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 shll 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 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 permanent 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. Soil tests shall be made every two years and a liquid waste
analysis be taken at least twice each year consistent with
waste utilization plan. Poultry litter shall be tested prior
to application. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North
Carolina regulations.

Dear Mr, Faison:
On February 24, 2000, the Division of Water Quality at the Fayetteville
Regional Office received a letter in regards to the Pork Plus facility. The letter
was accompanied by a Memo to your attention from Howard Hobson, a Carroll's
employee. It was determined by Howard Hobson that the waste structure at its
current condition could not adequately treat the amount of waste being generated
from the facility at its maximum capacity of 6,000 animals. The recommendation
at that time was to seek additional land for waste application or decrease the herd
size at the facility to 3600 animals. However, it has been determined from a
review of the information by DWQ central office and regional staff that the waste
structure still cannot support a herd size of 3600 animals with a 60 day (minimum
allowed) temporary storage period and simultaneously he considered a lagun.
One of the following items must be addressed: (1) recalculate and reduce
to the number of animals that the structure can adequately handle and
simultaneously be considered a lagoon, (2) develop the Certified Animal Waste
Management Plan (CAWMP) based on the NRCS numbers for a holding pond
instead of a lagoon, (3) develop the CAWMP on actual on-farm waste samples (a
minimum of three waste analysis per year for three years with corresponding
irrigation records).

Dear Mr. Rawls,
This letter is in regard to your request for information dated March 6, 2000. Presently.
there are 3600 head of animals on the firm. There will be no additional placement of
animals until a herd size of 3200 head is reached.
My intention is to develop a plan that will bring this farm into compliance and return to
the original 6000 bead stocking rate. I am still looking at severaI options and respectfully
request a sincere effort on your behalf in order to achieve this goal.

SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Notice of Recommendation for Enforcement
Permit No. AWS 820025
Pork Plus Farm
Facility No. 82 - 25
Sampson County
Dear Mr. Faison:
You are hereby notified that, having been permitted to have a non -discharge
permit for the subject animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H
.0217, you have been found to be in violation of your 2H .0217 Permit.
On February 10, 2000, staff from the Fayetteville Regional Office of the
Division of Water Quality inspected the Pork Plus swine facility in Sampson
County due to an anonymous complaint regarding the stream adjacent to the subject
facility. It was observed that wastewater had left the back of building #6 due to a
problem with one of the discharge lines. Wastewater Was observed in the surface
water drainage ditch as well as an Unnamed Tributary (UT) of Bakers Branch
which is Class "C SW" waters. Two earthen berms had been constructed in the
surface water drainage ditch. The DWQ regional office was not notified of the
discharge until after the investigation had been conducted and Howard Hobson, a
Carroll's employee, had been informed of the problem.
The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be addressed:
1. Provide a detailed explanation as to why the discharge occurred and what steps
have been taken to assure incidents of this nature do not occur in the future.

2. Please explain why the discharge of animal waste was not reported to the DWQ regional office
as required by the General Permit.
3. Please explain when the discharge was discovered and what specific actions were taken once the
problem was identified.
Failure to comply with the above conditions may result in the facility's General Permit being
revoked and being required to obtain an individual non -discharge permit for the facility.
Please be advised that this notice does not prevent the Division of Water Quality from taking
enforcement actions for this violation or any past or future violation. Furthermore, the Division of
Water Quality has the authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $25,000.00 per day per
violation.
You are hereby notified that based on the above information the Fayetteville Regional Office
of the Division of Water Quality has no choice but to consider sending recommendations for
enforcement action to the Director of the Division of Water Quality. The recommendation concerns
the violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 for discharging wastewater into the
surface waters of the State from a non -discharge facility and for failing to report the discharge as
required in General Permit condition 1II.6.g.
If you have an explanation for these violations that you wish to present to this office please
forward a detailed explanation, in writing, of the events noted and why you feel that this office
should not proceed with recommendations for enforcement. This response should be received by
this office on or before March 24, 2000. A copy of this response will also need to be submitted to
the DWQ Central Office at the following:
Mr, Steve Lewis
NCDENR
DWQ
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1671
Information provided to this office and the DWQ Central Office will be -reviewed and if
enforcement is still deemed appropriate, your explanation will be forwarded to the Director with the
enforcement package for his consideration.

Subject: Response to NOV for Pork Plus Farm, Facility No. 82-25, dated March 14, 2000
Dear Mr. Rawls:
The spill at the farm was due to a blockage in a discharge pipe from one of the houses.
The blockage was not detected until the morning of February 10, 2000. Workers at the
farm took immediate steps to shut off all water going into the house. Their next effort
involved getting equipment on the site and berming or blocking discharge from the farm.
As soon as this was accomplished, the workers notified the owner. A visit was made to
the site to access the situation. Once this was done, a call was made to DWQ informing
them of an accidental spill. This call was made within the 24 hour reporting period from
first knowledge of the accident.
The spill was unfortunate but was unintentional and accidental. I feel that the proper
steps were taken to minimize the event and to report it to DWQ. I am not aware of any
environmental damage as a result of the spill and request that your office not proceed
with recommendations for enforcement.
Cc: Steve Lewis, DWQ

IN THE GENERAL COURT OF JUSTICE
SUPERIOR COURT DIVISION
2000 CVS 452
CONSENT JUDGMENT AND
ORDER
The State of North Carolina, upon the relation of its Attorney General, Michael F. Easley,
and the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources ("DENR"), Plaintiffs
herein, and Faison Investments, LLC, Defendant herein, the other named Defendants having divested
themselves of all ownership and operator interests prior to the entry of this Consent Judgment and
Order, agree to entry of this Consent Judgment to resolve the matters in controversy between the
parties and effectuate the purposes and goals of North Carolina's water quality statutes and rules.
Plaintiffs brought this action to compel Defendant to comply with North Carolina water
quality protection laws and rules, and Defendant's certified animal waste management plan
("CAWMP") and General Permit at the Pork Plus farm, located near the town of Turkey in Sampson
County, North Carolina. In response to this action, Defendant Faison Investments has reduced the

number of animals at the facility and lowered the animal waste level in the lagoon, thereby achieving
compliance with the minimum required lagoon freeboard level. Plaintiffs further brought this action
to compel Defendant Faison Investments to comply with North Carolina water quality protection
laws and rules by documenting the ability of the Pork Plus farm to comply fully with all permit
terms and applicable water quality protection laws and rules in'connection with land application of
animal wastes and other waste management practices. Subsequent to the filing of the Complaint,
the parties have exchanged information, met and now believe that the matters raised in the
Complaint can be addressed and resolved through this Consent Judgment such that Defendant Faison
Investments' Pork Plus farm will comply fully with all permit terms and applicable laws, including
North Carolina's water quality protection laws and rules.
After reviewing the pleadings and terms of this Consent Judgment and Order, it appears to
the Court that it has jurisdiction over the parties and over the subject matter, and that the terms of
this Consent Judgment and Order are appropriate for assuring Defendant's compliance with the law
and protection of the environment. Based upon the verified Complaint and with the consent of the
parties, the Court makes the following Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law:
1. Plaintiff is the sovereign State of North Carolina. This action was brought on the
relation of Michael F. Easley pursuant to his common law power as Attorney General to bring civil
actions to abate public nuisances. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 114-1.1. This action was also brought on the
relation of Bill Holman, Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the
State agency established pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. §§ 143B-279.1, and vested with the statutory
authority to enforce the State's environmental pollution laws, including laws enacted to protect the
FA

water quality of the State.
2. Defendant Faison Investments owns and operates the feeder to finish swine operation
known as the Pork Plus farm, located south of the town of Turkey in Sampson County, North
Carolina. A Certificate of Coverage under the General Permit for swine operations was issued on
July 2, 1998 to Carroll's Realty Partnership for the Pork Plus farm, which permitted the farm for a
design capacity of 6,000 swine. Located on the facility are ten swine houses and an animal waste
management system which consists of a lagoon with a design storage capacity of 766,512 cubic feet
of animal waste and 68 acres of nearby spray fields onto which the animal waste stored in the lagoon
is land -applied.
3. The Certificate of Coverage under the General Permit for the Pork Plus farm was
amended and reissued to Defendant Faison Investments on _??_, 2000. The Certificate
incorporates by reference the most recent CAW W, which establishes the maximum number of
swine that may be on the farm at any time &hilg i1 ism g ffgct as 3,200, based upon the current size
and condition of the animal waste storage lagoon.
4. Inspections by Division of Water Quality ("DWQ") staff from the Fayetteville
Regional Office between February, 2000 and the end of March, 2000, revealed the level of the waste
in the lagoon, based upon readings of the markers in the lagoon, fluctuated between a freeboard of
11 inches and 18 inches. Minimum A of 19 inches is required by the General Permit and Certificate
of Coverage.
5. On April 5, 2000, plaintiff filed a Complaint against Defendant Faison Investments
alleging that the Pork Plus farm had violated the Certificate of Coverage and General Permit by
maintaining inadequate freeboard in its lagoon, failing to record an irrigation event. and discharging
3

wastewater to the waters of the State without a permit.
6. On April 6, 2000, Defendant Faison Investments accepted service of the Complaint.
7. On April 6, 2000, DWQ staff in the Fayetteville Regional Office and counsel met
with representatives of Defendant Faison Investments and counsel to discuss the terms by which
defendant could enter into a Consent judgment and Order with the State of North Carolina.
N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.1 OC provides that no person may construct or operate an
animal waste management system for an animal operation without first obtaining either an individual
permit or a general permit from the EMC. An "animal waste management system" is defined as "a
combination of structural and non-structural practices which will properly collect, treat, store or
apply animal waste to the land such that no discharge of pollutants occurs to surface waters of the
State by any means except as a result of a storm event more severe than the 25 -year, 24 hour storm."
15A NCAC 2H.0203(3).
2. Subchapter 2H.0200 of Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code (the
"non -discharge rules") establishes the requirements and procedures for application and issuance of
permits for waste disposal systems, including animal waste management systems, which are not
authorized to make any discharge to the surface waters of the State. The non -discharge rules provide
that none of the rules shall be deemed to allow violation of any assigned water quality standard, and,
further, that any such discharges shall be considered a violation of a condition of a permit. 15A
NCAC 2H.0217(f).
3. The EMC has developed a Swine Waste Operation General Permit for swine
operations (the "General Permit"). A CAWMP must be submitted as part of an application for a
4

Certificate of Coverage under the General Permit. A CAWMP must contain the animal waste
management practices or combination of practices which are selected to comprise a plan for a
specific feedlot. 15A NCAC 2H.4217(a)(1)(H)(i), The CAWMP is incorporated by reference into
the General Permit issued to a swine farm operator. The purpose of the CAWMP and the General
Permit is to assure that the public health, safety, and welfare are adequately protected in connection
1M swine farm operations. Included in the CAWMP are performance and operations standards and
requirements that assure that the swine operations will be carefully designed and operated in a
manner to accomplish their purposes. Siting of waste lagoons and spray irrigation fields and the
establishment of proper freeboard levels in the lagoons are critical in the design process to protect
the public health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of North Carolina.
4. The General Permit contains numerous provisions, including the following that are
pertinent to this case:
(a) Condition I (2) of the General Permit provides that any violation of the CAWMP is
a violation of the General Permit and subject to enforcement action.
(b) Condition V (3) requires that the maximum waste level in the lagoon shall not exceed
that specified in the CAWMP, and, further, requires that, at a minimum, the waste
level for the lagoon established in the CWAMP cannot exceed the level that provides
adequate storage to contain a 25 -year, 24-hour storm event plus an additional one
foot of freeboard to protect the structural integrity of the lagoon embankment.
(c) Condition 111 (5) requires that records of land application events and solids removed
to an off-site location be maintained in chronological and legible form for a
minimum of three years and be kept readily available for inspection.
5

(d) Condition 1I1(6) requires that the permittee report by telephone to the appropriate
DWQ Regional Offices as soon as possible, but no more than 24 hours following the
first knowledge of the following occurrences:
(1) Failure of any component of the animal waste collection, treatment, storage,
and land application system resulting in a discharge to surface waters;
(2) Any failure of the animal waste treatment and disposal system that renders
the facility incapable of adequately receiving, treating or storing the animal
waste and/or sludge;
(3) Any deterioration or leak in a lagoon/storage pond that poses an immediate
threat to the environment;
(4) Failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage pond greater than or
equal to that required in Condition V (3) of this General Permit; and
(5) Any discharge that bypasses a lagoon/storage pond resulting in a discharge
into surface waters or that poses a serious threat to the environment.
5. The EMC has delegated to the Director of DWQ of DENR the authority to issue
individual non -discharge permits and certificates of coverage under the animal waste management
system general permit. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.3(a)(4); 15A NCAC 2H.0249.
6. Whenever DENR has reasonable cause to believe that any person has violated or is
threatening to violate any of the provisions of the State's environmental Iaws or administrative rules,
including State water quality laws and rules, DENR is authorized to "request the Attorney General
to institute a civil action in the name of the State upon the relation of [DENR] for injunctive relief
to restrain the violation or threatened violation," and, "the court shall grant the relief necessary to
6

prevent or abate the violation or threatened violation." N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.6C.
7. This Court has personal jurisdiction over the parties and subject matter jurisdiction
over the controversy. The Complaint states a claim upon which relief can be granted.
8 This Consent Judgment entered into by the parties is fair and will terminate the
controversy between them in regards to this proceeding. However, the Court will retain continuing
jurisdiction in this case until the parties have complied with all provisions of this Consent Judgment.
9. The Pork Plus farm's CAWMP requires that the system properly collect, treat, store
or apply animal waste to the land such that no discharge of animal waste occurs to surface waters
of the state. For the waste lagoon, this includes storage capacity to hold a 25 -year, 24-hour storm
event (7"), plus an additional 12 inches of freeboard to maintain the structural integrity of the lagoon.
The State's water quality laws and administrative rules, Defendant's CAWMP and General Permit
were violated due to the extended failure to maintain the required minimum lagoon freeboard.
10. The lack of adequate freeboard posed a potentially serious threat of failure of the
lagoon structure and discharge of animal waste into the waters of the State -- in violation of State
law-- unless immediate corrective action was taken. The risk of such a discharge increased as more
waste entered the lagoon and the waste level approached the 12 inches of freeboard required to
maintain the lagoon's structural integrity.' Such a discharge would cause immediate and irreparable
injury and damage to the water quality of the State.
11. The continued operation of Pork Plus farm and its lagoon without adequate freeboard
threatened to cause: (a) serious danger to the public health, safety and welfare of the people of the
State of North Carolina, and (b) serious harm to the land and water resources of the State of North
Carolina, thereby constituting a public nuisance. Therefore, the State was entitled to stop the
7

nuisance until it was abated.
NOW THEREFORE, based on the foregoing Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and
upon the joint application and consent of the parties, it is therefore ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND
DECREED that:
1. Defendant Faison Investments shall operate the Pork Plus farm in compliance
with the provisions of this Consent Judgment, applicable permit terms, Faison Investments' revised
CAWMP for the Pork Plus farm, and all other applicable laws and regulations.
3. Defendant Faison Investments shall maintain at least 19 inches of freeboard
in the lagoon as required by the CAWMP and the General Permit.
4. Defendant Faison Investments shall maintain an accurate waste level marker
in the lagoon so the actual freeboard level is determinable by staff from the DWQ and the Division
of Soil and Water Conservation when inspecting the Pork Plus farm.
5. This Consent Judgment compels compliance with North Carolina's water
quality protection laws and regulations and, in connection therewith, addresses and resolves all
enforcement matters under applicable law and the common law claim of nuisance in the Complaint
regarding Defendant Faison Investments Pork Plus farm known to Plaintiffs as of the date of entry,
save and except Plaintiffs' right to assess, collect and enforce appropriate civil penalties for the
violations specified herein pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.6A. Nothing in this Consent
Judgment shall restrict Plaintiffs' right to take any and all appropriate enforcement action against

Defendant for any alleged violations not now known to Plaintiffs, or for any alleged future
violations. Defendant does not waive any right to contest or defend against any such future
enforcement actions.
6. The parties shall comply with all terms of this Consent Judgment; the
contempt provisions of Article 2, Chapter 5A of the North Carolina General Statutes shall be
available to enforce the terms of this Consent Judgment.
7. The parties, through counsel, have consented to having this Consent Judgment
signed and entered out of district, county and session.
This the day of May, 2000.

The State of North Carolina, upon the relation of its Attorney General, Michael F. Easley, and
the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources ("DENR"), Plaintiffs herein,
and Faison Investments, LLC, Defendant herein, the other named Defendants having divested
themselves of all ownership and operator interests prior to the entry of this Consent Judgment and

Plaintiffs brought this action to compel Defendant to comply with North Carolina water

After reviewing the pleadings and terms of this Consent Judgment and Order, it appears to
the Court that it has jurisdiction over the parties and over the subject matter, and that the terms of
this Consent Judgment and Order are appropriate for assuring Defendant's compliance with the law
and protection of the environment. Based upon the verified Complaint and with the consent of the
parties, the Court makes the following Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law:
FINDINGS OF FACT
I . Plaintiff is the sovereign State of North Carolina. This action was brought on the
relation of Michael F. Easley pursuant to his common law power as Attorney General to bring civil
actions to abate public nuisances. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 114-1.1. This action was also brought on the
relation of Bill Holman, Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, the
State agency established pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. §§ 143B-279.1, and vested with the statutory
authority to enforce the State's environmental pollution laws, including laws enacted to protect the
2

water quality of the State.
2. Defendant Faison Investments owns and operates the feeder to finish swine operation
known as the Pork Plus farm, located south of the town of Turkey in Sampson County, North
Carolina. A Certificate of Coverage under the General Permit for swine operations was issued on
July 2, 1998 to Carroll's Realty Partnership for the Pork Plus farm, which permitted the farm for a
design capacity of 6,000 swine. Located on the facility are ten swine houses and an animal waste
management system which consists of a lagoon with a design storage capacity of 766,512 cubic feet
of animal waste and 68 acres of nearby spray fields onto which the animal waste stored in the lagoon
is land -applied.
3. The Certificate of Coverage under the General Permit for the Pork Plus farm was
amended and reissued to Defendant Faison Investments on _??_, 2000. The Certificate
incorporates by reference the most recent CAWMP, which establishes the maximum number of swine
that may be on the farm at any time while it is in effect as 3,200, based upon the current size and
condition of the animal waste storage lagoon.
4. Inspections by Division of Water Quality ("DWQ") staff from the Fayetteville Regional
Office between February, 2000 and the end of March, 2000, revealed the level of the waste in the
lagoon, based upon readings of the markers in the lagoon, fluctuated between a freeboard of 11
inches and 18 inches. Minimum A of 19 inches is required by the General Permit and Certificate of
Coverage.
5. On April 5, 2000, plaintiff filed a Complaint against Defendant Faison Investments
alleging that the Pork Plus farm had violated the Certificate of Coverage and General Permit by
maintaining inadequate freeboard in its lagoon, failft to record an irrigation event, and discharging
3

wastewater to the waters of the State without a permit.
6. On April 6, 2000, Defendant Faison Investments accepted service of the Complaint.
7. On April 6, 2000, DWQ staff in the Fayetteville Regional Office and counsel met with
representatives of Defendant Faison Investments and counsel to discuss the terms by which defendant
could enter into a Consent judgment and Order with the State of North Carolina.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.1 OC provides that no person may construct or operate an
animal waste management system for an animal operation without first obtaining either an individual
permit or a general permit from the EMC. An "animal waste management system" is defined as "a
combination of structural and non-structural practices which will properly collect, treat, store or apply
animal waste to the land such that no discharge of pollutants occurs to surface waters of the State
by any means except as a result of a storm event more severe than the 25 -year, 24 hour storm." 15A
NCAC 2H.0203(3).
2. Subchapter 2H.0200 of Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code (the
"non -discharge rules") establishes the requirements and procedures for application and issuance of
permits for waste disposal systems, including animal waste management systems, which are not
authorized to make any discharge to the surface waters of the State. The non -discharge rules provide
that none of the rules shall be deemed to allow violation of any assigned water quality standard, and,
further, that any such discharges shall be considered a violation of a condition of a permit. 15A
NCAC 2H.0217(0.
3. The EMC has developed a Swine Waste Operation General Permit for swine
operations (the "General Permit"). A CAWMP must be submitted as part of an application for a
4

Certificate of Coverage under the General Permit. A CAWMP must contain the animal waste
management practices or combination of practices which are selected to comprise a plan for a specific
feedlot. 15A NCAC 2H.0217(a)(1)(H)(i). The CAWMP is incorporated by reference into the
General Permit issued to a swine farm operator. The purpose of the CAWMP and the General Permit
is to assure that the public health, safety, and welfare are adequately protected in connection with
swine farm operations. Included in the CAWMP are performance and operations standards and
requirements that assure that the swine operations will be carefully designed and operated in a manner
to accomplish their purposes. Siting of waste lagoons and spray irrigation fields and the establishment
of proper freeboard levels in the lagoons are critical in the design process to protect the public health,
safety, and welfare of the citizens of North Carolina.
4. The General Permit contains numerous provisions, including the following that are
pertinent to this case:
(a) Condition I (2) of the General Permit provides that any violation of the CAWMP is
a violation of the General Permit and subject to enforcement action.
(b) Condition V (3) requires that the maximum waste level in the lagoon shall not exceed
that specified in the CAWMP, and, further, requires that, at a minimum, the waste
level for the lagoon established in the CWAMP cannot exceed the level that provides
adequate storage to contain a 25 -year, 24-hour storm event plus an additional one
foot of freeboard to protect the structural integrity of the lagoon embankment.
(c) Condition III (5) requires that records of land application events and solids removed
to an off-site location be maintained in chronological and legible form for a minimum
of three years and be kept readily available for inspection.
5'

(d) Condition 1I1 (6) requires that the permittee report by telephone to the appropriate
DWQ Regional Offices as soon as possible, but no more than 24 hours following the
first knowledge of the following occurrences:
(1) Failure of any component of the animal waste collection, treatment, storage,
and land application system resulting in a discharge to surface waters;
(2) Any failure of the animal waste treatment and disposal system that renders the
facility incapable of adequately receiving, treating or storing the animal waste
and/or sludge;
(3) Any deterioration or leak in a lagoon/storage pond that poses an immediate
threat to the environment;
(4) Failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage pond greater than or
equal to that required in Condition V (3) of this General Permit; and
(5) Any discharge that bypasses a lagoon/storage pond resulting in a discharge
into surface waters or that poses a serious threat to the environment.
5. The EMC has delegated to the Director of DWQ of DENR the authority to issue
individual non -discharge permits and certificates of coverage under the animal waste management
system general permit. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.3(a)(4); 15A NCAC 2H.0209.
6. Whenever DENR has reasonable cause to believe that any person has violated or is
threatening to violate any of the provisions of the State's environmental laws or administrative rules,
including State water quality laws and rules, DENR is authorized to "request the Attorney General
to institute a civil action in the name of the State upon the relation of [DENR] for injunctive relief to
restrain the violation or threatened violation," and, "the court shall grant the relief necessary to
M

prevent or abate the violation or threatened violation." N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.6C.
7. This Court has personal jurisdiction over the parties and subject matter jurisdiction
over the controversy. The Complaint states a claim upon which relief can be granted.
8 This Consent Judgment entered into by the parties is fair and will terminate the
controversy between them in regards to this proceeding. However, the Court will retain continuing
jurisdiction in this case until the parties have complied with all provisions of this Consent Judgment.
9. The Pork Plus farm's CAWMP requires that the system properly collect, treat, store
or apply animal waste to the land such that no discharge of animal waste occurs to surface waters of
the state. For the waste lagoon, this includes storage capacity to hold a 25 -year, 24-hour storm event
(7"), plus an additional 12 inches of freeboard to maintain the structural integrity of the lagoon. The
State's water quality laws and administrative rules, Defendant's CAWMP and General Permit were
violated due to the extended failure to maintain the required minimum lagoon freeboard.
10. The lack of adequate freeboard posed a potentially serious threat of failure of the
lagoon structure and discharge of animal waste into the waters of the State -- in violation of State
law-- unless immediate corrective action was taken. The risk of such a discharge increased as more
waste entered the lagoon and the waste level approached the 12 inches of freeboard required to
maintain the lagoon's structural integrity. Such a discharge would cause immediate and irreparable
injury and damage to the water quality of the State.
11. The continued operation of Pork Plus farm and its lagoon without adequate freeboard
threatened to cause: (a) serious danger to the public health, safety and welfare of the people of the
State of North Carolina, and (b) serious harm to the land and water resources of the State of North
Carolina, thereby constituting a public nuisance. Therefore, the State was entitled to stop the
7

nuisance until it was abated.
NOW THEREFORE, based on the foregoing Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and upon
the joint application and consent of the parties, it is therefore ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND
DECREED that:

Amount of waste produced per year---------------: 11400 tons/year
Amount of plant available N (PAN) produced/year-: 13800 lbs./year
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or
ggrroundwater. The plant nutrients in the anima]. waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertiliser 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 not be applied to land eroding at more
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
in runoff to the surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ
regulations.
5. wind conditions should also be considered to avoild 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.
Injectin the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce o or problems.

This plan is basad on the waste application method shown above. If
ou choose to change methods in the future,, ou need to revise
his plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are
not the same.
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. 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 the 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.

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 applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while
meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require
farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only
addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in
bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing, hay and/or
silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a
height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants
are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small drain
etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised
not to to let small grain to reach maturity, especially late in
the season (i.e. April or May). shading may result if small grain
gets too high and this will definitely interfere with stand of
LOOO saosnosa-d aemnH 66TC C6Z OT6 YVd 9V:TT NOX 00/VZ/TO

Page 4
bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and
less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for
hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you
are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times duringq the
season, depending on time small grain is planted in the fa11.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September
or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting.
Sermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two
inches before drilling .for best results.
Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals
under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning may occur in
livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is
recommended.
Acres shown in the tables are considered to be the usable acres
excluding required buffers , filter strips along ditches, odd
areas unable to be irrigated, a'nd perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the field 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 provision 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 2160 lbs.. of plant available
nitrogen per year in the sludge.
if you remove sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately
10800 lbs. of PAN to utilize. assuming you appl this PAN to
hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 l s. of nitrogen
per acre, you will need 36 acres of land. If you apply the
sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lbs. of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 86 acres of land. Please be aware that theseare
only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements
could vary by 25% 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. Failure to apply the
recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the table may
make this plan invalid.
The following table is provided as a guide'for establishing
application rates and amounts.

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 of land application. 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 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, 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 aiscretation of the planner.
4. Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding less than 3 tons per
acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at more
than 5 tons but less than to tons per acre per year providing grass
filter strips are installed where runoff leaves -the field.
(See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strips)
S. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste of 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 an 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 and flies.
S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste should applied to saturated soils, during rainfall
events, or when the surface is frozen.,
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring
planted crops on soils with a high otential for leaching. Waste
nutrient loading rates on these sous 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.

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 10/1/95, shall
not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This
distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial, pro-
vided 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.
la. 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'eropland provided
it has been approved as a land applications site by a "technical
specialist". Animal waste applied on grassed waterways shall
be at 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 shll 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 plane
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 spalls. 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 permanent 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. Soil tests shall be made every two years and a liquid waste
analysis be taken at least twice each year consistent with
waste utilization plan. Poultry litter shall be tested prior
to application. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for give years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of -in a manner that meets North
Carolina regulations.

Pork Plus
Sampson County
Per your communications with Jeffery Brown of the Division of Water Quality — Fayetteville
Regional Office, the Pork Plus facility will need to be issued a new certificate of coverage for
3200 Feeder to Finish swine. In order for me to reissue the Certificate of Coverage, please
submit a new Waste Utilization Plan for this facility for 3200 swine as well as an expected date
that the facility will be operating at or below this population.
It is my understanding that you requested confirmation that once the waste management system
at this facility is retrofitted, you will be allowed to restock the facility to the registered population
of 6000 Feeder to Finish swine. Please consider this letter as confirmation that you will be
reissued a new Certificate of Coverage for 6000 swine once retrofits are complete and approved
by the Division of Water Quality.
If you have any questions or comments please do not hesitate to contact me at 919-733-5083
extension 502 or Jeffery Brown at 910-486-1541.

(5) Any discharge that bypasses a lagoob/storage pond resulting in a discharge
into surface waters or that poses a serious threat to the environment.
10. The EMC has delegated to the Director of the Division of Water Quality ("DWQ")
of DENR the authority to issue individual non -discharge permits and certificates of coverage under
the animal waste management system general permit. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.3(a)(4); 15A
NCAC 2H.0209.
11- Whenever DENR has reasonable cause to believe that any person has violated or is
threatening to violate any of the provisions of the State's environmental laws or administrative rules,
including State water quality laws and rules, DENR is authorized to "request the Attorney General
to institute a civil action in the name of the State upon the relation of [DENR] for injunctive relief
to restrain the violation or threatened violation," and, "the court shall grant the relief necessary to
prevent or abate the violation or threatened violation." N.C. Gen, Stat. § 143-215.6C.
12. Under the common law of North Carolina, the Attorney General has the power and
authority to file a civil action on behalf of the citizens of the State to abate a public nuisance
affecting the public health, safety or welfare.
Factual Allegations
13. Defendant owns and operates a feeder to finish swine operation, known as the Pork
Plus farm, which is located in Sampson County south of the town of Turkey. The Pork Plus farm
was permitted in July, 1998 for a design capacity of 6,000 swine. Located on the facility are ten
swine houses and an animal waste management system which consists of a lagoon with a design
volume of 766,512 cubic feet of animal waste and nearby spray fields onto which the animal waste
stored in the lagoon is land -applied.
5

N.C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax:[phone] Mar 8 '00 1017 P.03
14. Defendant obtained a Certificate of Coverage under the General Permit for swine
operations on July 2, 1998. A copy of the Certificate of Coverage is attached as Exhibit C.
15. On August 4, 1999, Jeffery Brown, an Environmental Engineer with the DWQ
inspected the Pork Plus farm and observed violations of the law and the General Permit, including
bare spots on portions of the lagoon dikes and that Plant Available Nitrogen ('TAN'S rates had been
exceeded. As a result, a Notice of Violation was issued by DWQ on August 18, 1999.
16. On January 21, 2000, the lagoon freeboard was only 18 inches. Defendant's failure
to maintain adequate freeboard was a violation of defendant's General Permit.
17. On January 31, 2000, defendant reported to the Fayetteville Regional Office of DWQ
that there was only 15 inches of freeboard. Defendant's failure to maintain adequate freeboard was
iation of defendant's General Permit.
1 Ot 8. On February 5, 2000, 3effery Brown, an Environmental Sie4zftwith DWQ,
inspected the Pork Plus Farm and observed that the freeboard was still 15 inches. Defendant's
failure to maintain .adequate freeboard was a violation of defendant's General Permit.
19. On February 10, 2000, Jeffery Brown again inspected the Pork Plus farm and
observed the following violations of law and the General Permit: (1) the lagoon still had only 15
inches of freeboard instead of the 19 inches required by the Certified Animal Waste Management
Plan and the General Permit; (2) wastewater flowed from one of the swine buildings through a
surface water diversion ditch to a stream and water of the State below the lagoon; and (3) the
discharge of wastewater was not reported as required by the law and defendant's General Permit.
20. Violations have continued into March, 2000. On March 1, 2000, Bob Heath with
DWQ inspected the Pork Plus farm. The lagoon had only 13 inches of freeboard_ In addition, swine
N

N.C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax:[phone] Mar 8 '00 10:18 P.04
wastewater was observed in a roadside drainage ditch. On March 2, Bob Heath reinspected the Pork
Plus farm and observed the freeboard was only 11-12 inches. On March 6 Mr. Heath again
observed the freeboard was 14 inches. Defendant's continued failure to maintain adequate freeboard
is a violation of defendant"s General Permit.
21. Since March of 1999, when defendant was notified in writing by Jeffery Brown,
DWQ Environmental Engineer, of the waste storage capacity issue at Pork Plus Farm, defendant has
failed to rectify the problems at Pork Plus Farm. Defendant's own evaluation states that the Pork
Plus waste lagoon at its current condition is sized for only 3600 swine. For nearly a year defendant
has been advising DWQ personnel in the Fayetteville Regional Office of various options under
consideration to rectify the situation. Scheduled start dates have been extended and subsequently
missed. On information and belief, the swine population has not been reduced to 3600. The
General Permit recently reissued to defendant reduced the number of swine permitted from
6000 to 3600??????? DUNE???????.
22. The inadequate freeboard level in the lagoon poses a serious threat of an unlawful
discharge of swine waste and wastewater into the waters of the State. If the liquid waste in the
lagoon remains near the twelve inch zone, the structural integrity of the wall may be overcome and
a resulting breech of the wall would occur. If that were to occur, wastewater would flow into a
stream below the lagoon and into the waters of the State.
23. On information and belief, swine remaining on defendant's .facility continue to
produce waste that is being added to a lagoon that is undersized and already has inadequate
freeboard. Making matters worse, although defendant recently provided the State, with a plan for
bringing the lagoon into compliance with the law and regulations within 30 days from February 3,
7

N.C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax:[phone]? Mar 8 '00 10:18 P.05
2000, e.g., by bringing the freeboard to the required level of 19 inches, that plan failed due to
inadequate effort on defendant's part to increase freeboard to the minimum required by the certified
animal waste management plan and the General Permit. To alleviate the threat posed by the unsafe
condition of the defendant's swine waste lagoon, the flow of swine waste into the lagoon must be
stopped. To do this, defendant must immediately remove all of the swine from its Pork Plus Farm
as soon as possible. Afterward, the farm must remain depopulated of swine until either brought into
compliance with the law and defendant's certified animal waste management plan and General
Permit, or, in the alternative, the animal waste management system, including the lagoon, must be
closed in an environmentally safe manner acceptable to the State and under the Court's supervision.
24. The continuing violations of State law at defendant's Pork Pius Farm is the result of
mismanagement. Its certified animal waste management plan provided the basis upon which
defendant could have managed this farm and avoided the serious threat now posed by inadequate
freeboard in the lagoon. On information and belief, defendant could have and should have engaged
in a spraying regime that would have lowered the volume of waste in its lagoon to a safe level before
the rainy season began and sprayed on all available days since then to keep the freeboard at a safe
level. In addition, on information and belief, defendant could have and should have further reduced
the number of swine at its Pork Plus farm to maintain the freeboard required by its certified animal
waste management plan and its General Permit. On information and belief, defendant's conduct is
the cause of the environmental threat posed by the condition of its lagoon or holding pond.
25. The allegations contained in paragraphs 1 through 24 are incorporated into this claim
for relief as if fully set forth herein.
8

N.C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax:[phone] Mar 8 '00 10:19 P.06
26. Defendant's certified animal waste management plan and the General Permit require
that the minimum freeboard that must be maintained is 14 inches. This includes storage capacity
to hold the 25 -year, 24-hour storm event plus an additional 12 inches needed to maintain the
structural integrity of the lagoon. Defendant is in violation of the State's water quality laws -and
administrative rules, its certified animal waste management plan and General Permit because
defendant, inter alfa, (1) failed to maintain the required minimum freeboard, (2) discharged swine
waste to the waters of the State, and (3) maintained and continues to maintain its lagoon in a
condition which poses a serious threat of future discharges of swine waste into the waters of the
State, and (4) failed to notify the State of past discharges when they occurred and inadequate
freeboard levels as required by its certified animal waste management plan and General Permit.
27. The lack of adequate freeboard poses a serious threat of rupture of the lagoon and
discharge of animal waste into the waters of the State -- in violation of State law-- unless immediate
corrective action is taken. The risk of such a discharge increases as more waste is added to the
lagoon. Such a discharge would cause immediate and severe injury and damage to the water quality
of the State. For these reasons, the State is entitled to preliminary, and subsequent permanent,
injunctive relief that compels defendant to bring its farm into compliance with the law. N.C. -Gen.
Stat. § 143-215.6C. At a minimum, the Court should order defendant to cease violating the State's
water quality laws and administrative rules, its certified animal waste management plan and General
Permit. Specifically, the Court should order defendant to remove all of the swine, remaining on its
Pork Plus farm, to lower the level of the liquid impounded in its lagoon to a safe level as soon as
possible, and to forbid defendant from operating its Pork Plus farm as a swine operation until

N. C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax :[phone] Mar 8 '00 1019 P.O?
defendant comes into full compliance with the law, including compliance with its certified animal
waste management plan and General Permit.
28. The allegations contained in paragraphs 1 through 27 are incorporated into this claim
for relief as if fully set forth herein.
29. The continued operation of defendant's Pork Plus farm and its lagoon without
adequate freeboard is causing and continues to cause: (a) serious danger to the public health, safety
and welfare of the people of North Carolina; and (b) serious harm to the land and water resources
of the State, thereby constituting a public nuisance. Such operation should be stopped until the
nuisance has been abated.
WHEREFORE, the plaintiff, State of North Carolina, prays that the Court grant to it the
following relief
1. That the Court accept this verified complaint as an affidavit upon which to base
orders of the Court.
2. That the Court enter a preliminary injunction ordering defendant to:
(a) prevent any further discharge of animal waste or wastewater from the Pork
Plus faun;.
(b) immediately remove all of the swine remaining on the Pork Plus farm;
(c) lower the level of the liquid impounded in its lagoon to 19 inches within
days of the receipt of the plan of action referenced in Paragraph 2 (e) below,
and, thereafter, (1) maintain 'the freeboard level in accordance with
10

N.C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax:[phone] Mar 8 '00 10:19 P.08
defendant's certified animal waste management plan and General Permit, and
(2) install monitoring equipment designed to measure the lagoon Iiquid level
that will alert defendant when the liquid reaches a critical level;
(d) cease operating the Pork Plus farm as a swine operation until defendant
comes into full compliance with the law, its certified animal waste
management plan and General Permit; and
(e) within 48 hours of the entry of the preliminary injunction, file with the Court
a plan of action, acceptable to the State, which sets forth a timetable and the
steps defendant will take to obtain 19 inches of freeboard in the lagoon within
_days.
(f) within 30 days of the entry of the preliminary injunction, file with the Court
an evaluation of the reasons for the high freeboard and discharges at Pork Plus
farm, and defendant's strategy to prevent high freeboard and discharges in the
future.
(g) contemporaneously serve on plaintiffs counsel the documents filed with the
Court as required in Paragraphs 2 (e) and 2 (f).
3. That'the Court enter a permanent injunction forbidding defendant to operate its Pork
Plus farm as a swine operation unless and until defendant brings the farm into full
compliance with the State's water quality laws and defendant's certified animal
waste management plan and General Permit; and, if defendant chooses not to resume
operating the Pork Plus farm as a swine operation, that the Court order defendant to
close its lagoon or holding pond under the Court's supervision in accordance with the
11

N. C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax :919-716=6767 Mar S...'00 10:20 P.09
Natural Resources Conservation Service standards for lagoon closure referenced in
Paragraph V (7) of the General Permit pursuant to further orders of the Court;
4. That the Court retain continuing jurisdiction of this case until all provisions of its
orders are carried out;
5. That any preliminary injunction, and any subsequent permanent injunction issued by
the Court shall be enforceable by and through the contempt powers of this Court,
pursuant to Chapter 5A of the North Carolina General Statutes;
6. That the cost of this action, including attorney fees, if allowable, be taxed against the
defendant;
7. That this Court grant such other and further relief as the Court shall deem to be just
and proper.
Respectfully submitted, this the day of March, 2000.

3. The Superior Court has jurisdiction of this action for common law public nuisance
and for injunctive relief to enforce the State's environmental pollution laws and administrative rules
pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. §§ 7A-245 and 143.215.6C.
4. Sampson County is a proper venue for this action because the nuisance and violations
of law alleged are occurring in Sampson County.
Applicable Laws and Regulations
5. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.1 forbids any person to `make outlets into the waters of
the state" or "cause or permit any waste, directly or indirectly, to be discharged to or in any manner
intermixed with the waters of the State in violation of the water quality standards applicable to the
assigned classifications" unless the person has a permit to do so issued by the Environmental
Management Commission (the "EMC ,y, N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.1(a)(1) and (6).
6. More specifically, N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.10C provides that no person may
construct or operate an animal waste management system for an animal operation without first
obtaining either an individual permit or a general permit from the EMC. An "animal waste
management system" is defined as "a combination of structural and non-structural practices which
will properly collect, treat, store or apply animal waste to the land such that no discharge of
pollutants occurs to surface waters of the State by any means except as a result of a storm event more
severe than the 25 -year, 24 hour storm." 15A NCAC 2H.0203(3).
7. Subchapter 2H.0200 of Title 1 SA of the North Carolina Administrative Code (the
"non -discharge rules") establishes the requirements and procedures for application and issuance of
permits for waste disposal, systems, including animal waste management systems, which are not
2

N.C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax:[phone] Mar 7 '00 14:25 P.04
authorized to make any discharge to the surface waters of the State. A copy of these rules is attached
as Exhibit A. The non -discharge rules provide that none of the rules shall be deemed to allow
violation of any assigned water quality standard, and, finther, that any such discharges shall be
considered a violation of a condition of a permit. 15A NCAC 2H.0217(f).
S. The EMC has developed a Swine Waste Operation General Permit for swine
operations (the "General Permit"). A copy of the General Permit is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
A certified animal waste management plan ("CA'WMV) must be submitted as part of an applicant
for a Certificate of Coverage under the General Permit. A CAWMP must contain the animal waste
management practices or combination of practices which are selected to comprise a plan for a
specific feedlot. 15A NCAC 2H.0217(a)(1)(H)(i). The CAWMP is incorporated by reference into
the General Permit issued to a, swine farm operator. The purpose of the CAWMP and the General
Permit is to assure that the public health, safety and welfare are adequately protected from swine
farm operations. Included in the plan are performance and operations standards and requirements
that assure that the swine operations will be carefully designed and operated in a manner to
accomplish their purposes. Siting of waste lagoons and spray irrigation fields and the establishing
of proper freeboard levels in the lagoons are critical in the design process to protect the public health,
safety, and welfare, of the citizens of North Carolina.
9. The General Permit contains numerous provisions, including the following that are
pertinent to this case:
(a) Condition I (2) of the General Permit provides that any violation of the Certified
Animal Waste Management Plan is a violation of the General Permit and subject to
enforcement action.
3

N.C. RTTORNEY GENERAL Fax : [phone] Mar 7 '00 14:26 P.05
(b) Condition V (3) requires;that the maximum waste level in the lagoon shall not exceed
that specified in the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan, and, further, requires
that, at a minimum, the waste level for the lagoon established in the CAWMF cannot
exceed the level that provides adequate storage to contain a 25 -year, 24-hour storm .
event plus an additional one foot of freeboard to protect the structural integrity of the
lagoon embankment.
(c) Condition I11(5) requires that records of land application events and solids removed
to an off-site location be maintained in chronological and legible form for a
minimum of three years and be kept readily available for inspection.
(d) Condition III (6) requires that the permittee report by telephone to the appropriate
Division of Water Quality Regional Offices as soon as possible, but no more than 24
hours following the first knowledge, the following occurrences:
(1) Failure of any component of the animal waste collection, treatment, storage,
and land application system resulting in a discharge to surface waters;
(2) Any failure of the animal waste treatment and disposal system that renders
the facility incapable of adequately receiving, treating or storing the animal
and/or sludge;
(3) Any deterioration or leak in a lagoon/storage pond that poses an immediate
threat to the environment.
(4) Failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage pond greater than or
equal to that required in Condition V (3) of this General Permit; and
4

N.C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax:[phone] Mar 7 '00 14:26 P.06
(5) Any discharge that bypasses a lagoon/stomge pond resulting in a discharge
into surface waters or that poses,a serious threat to the environment.
10. The EMC has delegated to the Director of the Division of Water Quality ("DWQ")
of DENR the authority to issue individual non -discharge permits and certificates of coverage under
the anima! waste management system general permit. N.C. Gen: Stat. § 143-215.3(a)(4);. 15A
NCAC 2H.0209.
11. Whenever DENR has. reasonable cause to believe that any person has violated or is
threatening to violate any of the provisions of the State's environmental laws or administrative rules,
including State water quality laws and rules, DENR is authorized to "request the Attorney General
to institute a civil action in the name of the State upon the relation of [DENR] for injunctive relief
to restrain the violation or threatened violation," and, "the court shall grant the relief necessary to
prevent or abate the violation or threatened violation." N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.6C.
12. Under the common law of North Carolina, the Attorney General has the power and
authority to file a civil action on behalf of the citizens of the State to abate a public nuisance
affecting the public health, safety or welfare.
Factual Allegations
S Z�
13. Defendant owns and operates a iE"r�'"swine operation, known as the Pork
Plus farm, w, high is located in Samp on Co south the town of Turkey. The Pork Plus farm
I�t9�a��
was owed i July, 1998 or a design capacity of 6,000 swine. Located on the facility are ten
swine houses and an animal waste management system which consists of a lagoon with a design
volume of 766,512 cubic feet of animal waste and nearby sprayfields onto which the animal waste
stored in the lagoon is land -applied.

N.C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax : [phone] Mar 7 '00 14:26 P.07
14. Defendant obtained a Certificate of Coverage under the General Permit for swine
operations on July 2; 1998. A copy of the Certificate.of Coverage is attached as Exhibit C.
15. On August 4, 1999, Jeffery Brown of the DWQ inspected the Pork Plus Farm and
observed violations of the law and the General Permit, including bare spots on portions of the lagoon
dikes and that Plant Available Nitrogen {"PAN'} rates had been exceeded. As a result, a Notice of
Violation was issued by DWQ on August 18, 1999.
16. On January 21, 2000, the lagoon freeboard was only 18 inches. Defendant's failure
to maintain adequate freeboard was a violation of defendant's General Permit.
17. On January 31, 2000, defendant reported that there was only 15 inches of freeboard.
Defendant's failure to maintain adequate freeboard was a violation of defendant's General Permit.

20. Violations have continued into March, 2000. On March 1, 2000, J again
inspected the Pork Plus Farm. The lagoon had only 13 inches of freeboard. In addition, swine
wastewater was observed in a roadside drainage ditch. On March 2, Bob Heath observed the.

freeboard was only 11-12 inches. On March 6 it was 14 inches. Defendant's continued failure to
maintain adequate freeboard is a violation of defendant's Genera! Permit.
21. Since March of 1999, when defendant was notified in writing by Jeffery Brown,
DWQ Envirinmental Engineer, of the waste storage capacity issue at Pork Plus Farre, defendant has
failed to rectify the problemsrr at Pork Plus Farm. Defendant's o e al on states that the Pork
e rg r�s�L - 5� Ca►t On�j ac'rtj ,"J:7
Plus lagoon is sized for only 3640 swine. For nearly a year defendant tis�een advising DWQ
personnel in the Fayetteville Regional Office of various options under consideration to rectify the
situation. Scheduled start dates have been extended and subsequently missed. On information and
belief, the swine population has not been reduced to 3600. The General Permit recently reissued
to defendant reduced the number of swine permitted from 6000 to 3600???????
DONE???????. i
22. The inadequate freeboard level in the lagoon poses a serious threat of an unlawful
discharge of swine waste and wastewater into the waters of the State. If the liquid waste in the
lagoon remains near the twelve inch zone, the structural integrity of the wall may be overcome and
a resulting breech of the wall would occur. If that were to occur, wastewater would flow into a
stream below the lagoon and x ete� into the waters of the State.
23_ On information and belief, swine remaining on defendant's facility continue to
produce waste that is being added to a lagoon that is undersized and already has inadequate
freeboard. Making matters worse, although defendant recently provided the State with a plan for
bringing the lagoon into compliance with the law and regulations within 30 days from February 3,
20001 e.g., by bringing the freeboard to the required level of 19 inches, that plan failed due to
inadequate effort on defendant's part to increase freeboard. To alleviate the threat posed by the
7

N.C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax:[phone] Mar 7 '00 14:27 P.09
unsafe condition of the defendant's swine waste lagoon, the flow of swine waste into the lagoon
must be stopped. To do this, defendant must immediately remove all of the swine from its Pork Plus
Farm as soon as possible, Afterward, the farm must remain depopulated of swine until either
brought into compliance with the law and defendant's certified animal waste management plan and
General Permit, or, in the alternative, the animal waste management system, including the lagoon,
must be closed in an environmentally safe manner acceptable to the State and under the Court's
supervision.
24. The continuing violations of State law at defendant's Pork Plus Farm is the result of
mismanagement. Its certified animal waste management plan provided the basis upon which
defendant could have managed this farm and avoided the serious threat now posed by inadequate
freeboard in the lagoon or holding pond. On information and belief, defendant could have and
should have engaged in a spraying regime that would have lowered the volume of waste in its lagoon
or holding pond to a safe level before the rainy season began and sprayed an all available days since
then to keep the freeboard at a safe level. In addition, on information and belief, defendant could
have and should have further reduced the number of swine at its Pork Plus farm to maintain
freeboard required by its certified animal waste management plan and its General Permit. On
information and belief, defendant's conduct is the cause of the environmental threat posed by the
condition -of its lagoon or holding pond.
25. -The allegations contained in paragraphs 1 through 24 are incorporated into this claim
for relief as if fully set forth herein.
8

N. C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax : 919 -?16-6767 Mar 7 '00 14:28 P:10
26. Defendant's certified animal waste management plan and the General Permit require
that the'tninimutn freeboard that must be maintained is 19 inches. This includes stowage capacity
to hold the 25 -year, 24-hour storm event plus an additional 12 inches needed to maintain the
structural integrity of the lagoon. Defendant is -in violation of the State's water quality laws and
administrative rules, its certified animal waste management plan and General Permit because
defendant, inter alfa, (1) failed to maintain the required minimum freeboard, (2) ldisc»xaited-swine
waste- ifrom its lagoon or holding pond, and?] maintained and continues to
maintain its lagoon or holding pond. in a condition which poses a serious threat of future discharges
of swine waste into the waters of the State, and (3) failed to notify the State of past discharges when
they occurred and inadequate freeboard levels as required by its certified animal waste management
plan and General Permit.
27. The lack of adequate freeboard poses a serious threat of rupture of the lagoon for
:�s tructure
] and discharge of animal waste into the waters of the State -- in violation
of State law-- unless immediate corrective action is taken. The risk of such a discharge increases
uxs�, Sc+ctu,r.�
as more waste is added to the lagoon [ q. Such a discharge would cause immediate
and is le injury and damage to the water quality of the State. For these reasons, the State'is
—entit
led to preliminary, and subsequent permanent, injunctive relief that compels defendant to bring
its farm into compliance with the law. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.6C. At a minimum, the Court
should order defendant to cease violating the State's water quality. laws and adu,inistrative rules, its
certified animal waste management plan and General Permit. Specifically, the Court should order
defendant to remove all of the swine remaining on its Pork Plus farm, to lower the level of the liquid
impounded in its lagoon to a safe [legal] level as soon as possible, and to forbid defendant from

operating its Pork Plus farm as a swine, operation until defendant comes into full compliance with
the law, including compliance with its certified animal waste management plan and General Permit.
28. The allegations contained in paragraphs 1 through 27 are incorporated into this claim
for relief as if fully set forth herein. AU4�
Wq�c 3`-P
29. The continued operation of defendant's Pork Plus farm and its lagoon orhelk
without adequate freeboard is causing and continues to cause: (a) serious danger to the public health,
safety and welfare of the people of North Carolina; and (b) serious harm to the land and water
resources of the State; thereby constituting a public nuisance. Such operation should be stopped
until the nuisance has been abated.
WHEREFORE, the plaintiff, State of North Carolina, prays that the Court grant to it the
following relief:
1. That the Court accept this verified complaint as an affidavit upon which to base
orders of the Court.
2. That the Court enter a preliminary injunction ordering defendant to:
(a) prevent any further discharge of animal waste or wastewater from the Pork
Plus farm;
(b) immediately remove all of the swine remaining on the Pork Plus farm;
(c) lower the level of the liquid impounded in its lagoon to 19 inches within
days of the receipt of the plan of action referenced in Paragraph 2 (e) below,

Court as required in Paragraphs 2 (e) and 2 W.
3. That the Court enter a permanent injunction forbidding defendant to operate its Pork
Plus farm as a swine operation unless and until defendant brings the farm into full
compliance with the State's water quality laws and defendant's certified animal
waste management plan and General Permit; and, if defendant chooses not to resume
operating the Pork Plus farm as a swine operation, that the Court order defendant to

FAYETTEVILLE
REG. OFFICE
On February 8, 2000, David Nordin and I carried out a detailed investigation of the
waste treatment lagoon at Pork Plus. The following information is based upon this
trip plus other data accumulated during the past few months.
1. The lagoon has the capacity of 876,821 cubic feet. This is based upon the total
existing depth of 13.4 feet less 1 foot of freeboard.
2. Total capacity of the lagoon less 4.75 feet of sludge is 598,773 cubic feet.
3. Capacity required for 3600 head feeder to finish (Original specifications) is
598,760 cubic feet with 100 days of temporary storage.
4. A revised CWAMP using wettable acres, existing crops, and current waste
analysis (3.5 Ib. N. 11000 gallons) allows for 3600 head feed -finish -animals.
Based upon the above information I would make the following recommendations:
1. Discontinue restocking houses until the 3600 head number is reached or obtain
additional land for waste application.
2. Consult immediately with an Engineering Firm to plan for rertro-fit to allow full re-
population of the houses.

Dear Mr Rawls:
This letter is in regard to your request for information dated January 28, 2000. Due to
recent health problems I was not able to meet the target date of February 14. Listed
below are a list of actions I have taken during the past few weeks:
1. Requested Howard Hobson, Technical Specialist, to gather the information on the
existing lagoon. His report is attached.
2. Requested Law Engineering to meet with Don Butler and Howard Hobson. The first
meeting was held on February 16 ,17. A follow-up meeting with Law Engineering is
scheduled for Tuesday, February 22.
3. I have met with BION several times. At the last meeting, BION presented a new plan
that will further clean the water. They are preparing a proposal and will present it at
the Tuesday meeting.
4. Presently, I have emptied one of the houses. I will not place any more pigs on the
farm until the liquid level is lowered to 25 inches
5. Additional plans call for completing construction on the BION ( or equivalent system
recommended by Law Engineering) in mid -summer. The new system will be
designed to reduce nutrients; thereby allowing compliance with the CWAMP.
I will be working closely with Law Engineering, BION and others to select the proper
technology to put this farm back at full production. Thank you and your staff for
working with me to address concerns on my farm. I will give you an update regarding
type of system planned after consulting with Law Engineering.

From: Sue Homewood <[e-mail]>
Organization: DWQ
To: Paul Rawls <[e-mail]>
CC: Dennis Ramsey <[e-mail]>
Paul,
here are my calculations based on the volumes reported by Howard Hobson.
Not counting the volume of the lagoon filled up by 4.75 feet of sludge,
the capacity is 59872-3 c.f. For a lagoon for 3600 feeder to finish
swine the permanent volume needed is 486000 cf. This leaves 112773 cf
for temporary and storm storage {1' freeboard already subtracted from
Howards total) Storm storage and ranfall - evap equals 96250 cf leaving
16523 cf for temp. storage or 3.3 days worth. If we consider no
permanent storage and assume this is a holding pond, the entire 598773
cf is temporary storage. subtract storm storage and rainfall-evap
leaves 502523 cf which is 101 days of temporary storage for 3600 feeder
to finish swine.
However, if this is considered a holding pond, then the WUP must be
developed based on NRCS numbers for swine slurry requiring much more
land than in the current WUP. In order to develop the WUP based on
actual waste samples they will need 4 samples per year for 3 years and
corresponding irrigation records.
If they want to consider this a lagoon, the 598773 cf will maintain 2314
feeder to finish swine with a temporary storage period of 60 days
(minimum allowed).
If they remove the sludge these numbers can then be manipulated some
more, I suggest that is not addressed or approved until after we have
new sludge depth documentation.

Dear Mr. Faison:
This letter is in regards to the meeting that was held at the office of Carroll's Foods,
Inc. office, Warsaw on January 21, 2000. The meeting attended by staff from the
Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality addressed issues concerning
the Pork Plus Farm. It was determined that the inadequate waste structure on the subject
facility has not currently been resolved. Please note that this office first documented this
issue in correspondence on March 12, 1999.
This office requests that the waste storage structure be evaluated and the Certified
Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) be revised to accurately reflect the amount of
waste being generated at this facility to insure consistent compliance with the General
Permit until a new waste management system can be constructed. The waste storage
structure evaluation should accurately outline the current amount of storage capacity, taking
into account the sludge accumulation and the actual dimensions of the lagoon. If for any
reason compliance cannot be maintained under this revised CAWMP, you should
immediately notify this office. At this time, this office acknowledges that the proposal
received from Carroll's Foods (Don Butler) on June 29, 1999 to partially depopulate the
farm to accommodate the size of the waste structure (outlined in Option #4) should
immediately be explored.

Dear Mr. Faison:
On February 24, 2000, the Division of Water Quality at the Fayetteville
Regional Office received a letter in regards to the Pork Plus facility. The letter
was accompanied by a Memo to your attention from Howard Hobson, a Carroll's
employee. It was determined by Howard Hobson that the waste structure at its
current condition could not adequately treat the amount of waste being generated
from the facility at its maximum capacity of 6,000 animals. The recommendation
at that time was to seek additional land for waste application or decrease the herd
size at the facility to 3600 animals. However, it has been determined from a
review of the information by DWQ central office and regional staff that the waste
structure still cannot support a herd size of 3600 animals with a 60 day (minimum
allowed) temporary storage period and simultaneously be considered alagoQn.
One of the following items must be addressed: (1) recalculate and reduce
to the number of animals that the structure can adequately handle and
simultaneously be considered a lagoon, (2) develop the Certified Animal Waste
Management Plan (CAWMP) based on the NRCS numbers for a holding pond
instead of a lagoon, (3) develop the CAWMP on actual on-farm waste samples (a
minimum of three waste analysis per year for three years with corresponding

Summary of Events Regarding Pork Plus (82-25)
• Received Referral from DSWC on February 24, 1999. It was determined that the lagoon was
actually a holding pond during the operation review conducted on February 16. At this time
Pork Plus and C&M 1 Farm were covered under one CAWMP. The C&M I Farm also was
referred to DWQ due to significant overapplication of nitrogen.
0 DWQ met with Carroll's Food in Warsaw regarding the issue of the waste structure on March
10, 1999. Howard Hobson, Bob -McLeod, and Don Butler were in the meeting.
• A Request for Information letter was sent to Carroll's Foods as to what corrective actions were
going to be taken to resolve the issue on March 12, 1999.
• Howard Hobson responded on March 30, 1999 stating that a decision would be made soon as
to what system would be installed to correct the problem.
• DWQ received a letter from Don Butler on June 29, 1999 stating that Sonny Faison, owner,
was exploring different options that could be taken to correct the problem. This letter identified
each option with benefits and drawbacks for each option.
• DWQ received a letter from Sonny Faison on July 30, 1999 stating that he was leaning toward
a traditional lagoon to be constructed to correct the problem.
• DWQ -conducted a routine inspection of Pork Plus on August 4, 1999.
• A NOV was issued to Pork Plus and C&M I on August 18, 1999. It was in regards to
overapplication and the issue with the lagoon. No actions had been taken to correct the problem
with the waste structure.
• A response from Carroll's was received on August 20, 1999. The response stated that several
avenues had been explored, but it had been decided that a traditional waste lagoon would be
constructed. A time line as to when this would be completed was included with the response.
According to the schedule, the lagoon would be completed and in use by October 15, 1999.
• DWQ received a letter from Sonny Faison on October 13, 1999 with a revised construction
schedule of the lagoon due to the hurricanes. The revised schedule indicated that the new lagoon
would be completed by December 10, 1999.
• DWQ met with Howard Hobson and David Nordin on January 21, 2000 regarding the Pork
Plus. It appears that Sonny Faison is now considering a Bion System instead of a traditional
waste lagoon. The lagoon level on this date was 18". DWQ was informed that if the weather
was clear, it would be between 2-3 weeks before the fields would be able to be utilized for waste
application.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
FAISON, JR
PLUS
County: SAMPSON
P.5/9
Type Operation-------------: FEED -FIN
Number of Animal-----------: 3600
Storage Structure----------: Anaerobic Lagoon
Method of application------: Irrigation
Amount of waste produced per 6840 tons/year
Amount of plant available N (PAN) produced/year-: 12600 lbs./year
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 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:
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 not be applied to land eroding at more
than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be a plied 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
in runoff to the surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ
regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoild 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 arowing crop or applied not more than 30 days
prior to planing a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.

MAR 06 '00 09:19AM CARROLL'S FOODS

P.6/9
This plan is based on the wasteapplication 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 on
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 the 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.

The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while
meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require
farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only
addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in
bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grating, hay and/or
silage. where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a
height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants
are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain
etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised
not to to let small drain to reach maturity, especially late in
the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain
gets too high and this will definitely interfere with stand of

SUBJECT: Operation Review Notice of Referral
Pork Plus Farm
Facility No. 82-25
Sampson County
Dear Mr. Nordin,
On February. 16, an Operation Review was conducted on Pork Plus Farm, facility
no. 82-25. This Review, undertaken in accordance with G.S. 143-215.1 OD, is one of two
visits scheduled for all registered livestock operations during the 1999 calendar year. The
Division of Water Quality will conduct a second site inspection.
During the Review, it was noted that the bermuda and small grain had been over-
appliedreater than 10% of the PAN recommendation for these crops. Accordingto
Section 111.6.F. of the general permit issued by the Division of Water Quality, it staes that
overs pl ing animal waste either in excess of the limits set out in the CAWMP or where
runoffpen ers surface waters should be reported to the Division of Water Quality. It was
also noted that the waste utilization plan for C&M I Farm and Pork Plus Farm were
combined but permitted separately. You need to contact Your technical specialist for
these farm sites so that he can contact Division of Water Quality to have permits
combined into one permit.
You need to contact your technical specialist to evaluate treatment storage
(holding pond or lagoon}. Farm has a -973 lbs. annual PAN deficit based on standards
for lagoon calculations. Additional land may be needed based on overapplication from
previous years irrigation records.
You are strongly encouraged to contact your certified technical specialistfor help.
You may also want to contact your local Soil and Water Conservation District Office since
they may be able to provide you with additional technical and/or financial assistance to
implement corrective best management practices.
Please remember that in order for your facility to be in compliance with
environmental regulations, animal waste cannot be discharged into the waters of the
State, and the animal waste collection, treat, storage and disposal systems must be
properly sized, maintained and operated under the responsible charge of a certified
operator.
The Division of Soil and Water Conservation appreciates your cooperation with
this Operation Review. Please do not hesitate to call me at 910/486-1541 extension 292
if you have any questions, concerns or need additional information.

6,000 HEAD HOG FINISHING FARM BION SYSTEM COST ESTIMATE
Bion has determined the estimated cost to construct a standard Bion Nutrient Management
System for Carroll's Foods existing 6,000 head hog finishing facility in Sampson County,
North Carolina. The cost has been developed based upon the following criteria. The cost
breakdown is presented on the following page.
• There is one facility containing all 6,000 hogs. The flow from the houses will be lift
pumped, and all flow through the system will be by gravity.
• All existing lagoons or other structures can be used at the facility and only bioreactor
#1 and the solids ecoreactors will need to be constructed.
• The system is designed to harvest and assimilate the sludge (up to 5') in the existing
lagoon.
• The piping from the hog houses to bioreactor #1 is not a Bion System cost.
• The piping for the recycle line from bioreactor #2 to the hog houses is not a Bion
System cost.
• The pumps required are the lift station to convey waste into bioreactor #1 and the
existing recycle pump from bioreactor #2 to the flushing or pit recharge system.
• The available power source is single phase.
Earth moving cost is not calculated, and piping costs are not given since the system
components locations have not yet been determined. (Preliminary dimensions
have been provided.)
• The earthwork calculation is based on clay liner material available on site, and a
seasonal high water table depth at greater than 7 feet.
The system will be installed utilizing a general contractor and/or subcontractors
chosen by the producer.
• Actual construction costs will vary dependent upon the local cost for services and
materials.

Dear Mr. Hobson:
This letter is in regards to the meeting that was held at the main office of Carroll's
Foods, Inc in Warsaw on March 14, 1999 in which I attended concerning the Pork Plus
Farm. This office was made aware of the situation concerning the waste holding
structure by an inspector with the Division of Sol] and Water. As you know, the waste
structure at this facility does not contain the adequate volume to be considered a
treatment lagoon, thus it is considered to be simply a holding pond. This explains why
the nitrogen content of the wastewater have been higher than the average lagoon. The
Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) was written based on information
for anaerobic lagoons and not holding ponds. I was informed during this meeting that
Carroll's Foods is considering the installation of a Bion System on this facility, in order
to correct the situation. It is my understanding that the next step in the process is to have
the wetlands delineated to determine if the area surrounding the existing lagoon can be
utilized for the installation of the proposed Bion System. This facility and the CB.M I
Farm were permitted separately, however there share one common CAWMP and the
irrigation systems for the farms are tied together. The Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
rate for some of the fields have exceeded the limits determined by the CAWMP.
The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be performed:
1. Inform this office after the wetlands delineation as to weather the Bion System will
be installed at this facility. If it is going to be constructed, then please give an
approximate time frame in which the system will be completely installed. If the system
is not going to be installed, then provide this office with other possible corrective
measures that can be taken to resolve this issue. .

utilized for the installation of the proposed Bion System. This facility and the CB.M I
Farm were permitted separately, however there share one common CAWMP and the
irrigation systems for the farms are tied together. The Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
rate for some of the fields have exceeded the limits determined by the CAWMP.
The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be performed:
1. Inform this office after the wetlands delineation as to weather the Bion System will
be installed at this facility. If it is going to be constructed, then please give an
approximate time frame in which the system will be completely installed. If the system
is not going to be installed, then provide this office with other possible corrective
measures that can be taken to resolve this issue. .

I have received a proposal from Bion regarding the Pork Plus Farm. Dwayne Graham,
Certified Soil Scientist, and I surveyed the site for hydric soils. I recently received the
maps and it appears that there is sufficient land to construct the Bion System.
Presently, I am preparing a design to fit the site. I am also preparing a preliminary design
for a retro -fit utilizing an additional waste treatment lagoon as an alternative. I expect
to present the proposals to the owners this week. A decision will be made as to what
system to install. I will notify you as soon as this is done (hopefully in the next two
weeks).

RE: Waste management alternatives at Pork Plus
"The waste structure at Pork Plus does not contain the adequate volume to be considered a
treatment lagoon, thus it is considered to be simply a holding pond." This quote is from a March
12, 1999 letter from DENR.
Previously the Waste Utilization Plan for C&M I and Pork Plus had been written as a combined
plan to allow flexibility in application. Two separate plans have been written to prevent C&M I
from being out of compliance. In order to continue operation Pork Plus must either make
changes to its waste treatment system or reduce animal numbers. We have investigated
several possible alternatives:
Option 1 — Addin4 additional conventional treatment lagoon capacity
• clear 3.8 acres of non -wetland for construction of a new 704,955 cubic feet- lagoon
• remove sludge from existing lagoon ($75,000)
• install lift pump to move waste to new structure ($15,000)
• utilize all available existing spray fields on Pork Plus side of the paved road plus 45 acres
additional land (clearing and irrigation - $90,000)
• estimated cost of lagoon and piping is $67,000
• total cost estimate is $247,000
Pluses for Option 1
✓ it adds to a system we know how to manage
✓ generally speaking, it is a one time capital investment
✓ on-going operating costs are minimized
✓ it is less expensive than other options to construct
✓ this system can be done under current laws
Minuses for Option 1
-- lagoon systems may or may not be phased out by new regulations

if lagoons are phased out, existing facilities would have to be properly
closed -
- additional spray fields will have to be developed
Option 2 — Install new BION Waste Treatment System
• construct several new earthen structures for various components of the BION system
• enter into agreement with BION Corporation to move treated material from the farm
• utilize portions of existing waste storage pond as part of a BION process
• the approximate cost of a properly sized BION system is $143,000 -- this figure would
increase if clay liner material has to be imported or if there are water table limitations
Pluses for Option 2
✓ BION system would reduce acreage requirement so that no additional spray fields would
have to be developed, however, the existing sprayfield is often saturated during the winter
months and may not be able to receive treated effluent
✓ BION is a relatively passive system to operate
✓ there appears to be an odor reduction benefit to this system
✓ sludge in existing pond can be processed through this system
✓ no new land would have to be cleared
Minuses for Option 2
it requires reliance on non Carroll's people to dispose of treated material
- the long term success of this system is contingent on developing markets for treated BION
material
there are ongoing energy costs with this system plus periodic replacement of motors, etc.
- initial capital costs are higher than Option 1
- current land application costs do not go away
Option 3 — Install waste treatment system by Waste Technical Services
• construct a "package plant" to treat all the waste from 6,000 hogs
• enter into a management/maintenance agreement with licensed waste treatment plant
operator to manage the system
• utilize existing waste storage pond for storage of treated effluent
• projected capital cost is $179,900
• projected operating cost are $19,543 per year (electricity, maintenance and operator)
2

' Pluses for Option 3
✓ system is relatively compact (less than % acre)
✓ clearing the adjacent 4 acres of woodland for lagoons not required
✓ system greatly reduces amount of land required for disposal of treated effluent
✓ treated effluent can be used to wash houses thus greatly reducing water usage at the farm
✓ is considered an "innovative system" thus not subject to purchase ban for violators
contained in Smithfield Tar Heel plant permit
Minuses for Option 3
- the system is more expensive initially than other options
- the system has not been demonstrated successfully on a commercial scale farm (first
system is just coming on line)
- Waste Technical Services is a start up company whose future success is tied to the fate of
these systems
- this system is mechanical and energy dependent
- current land application cost of effluent does not go away
Option 4 — Kew Existina_Facility "As is"
• reduce animal numbers to 3600 (the existing lagoon is sized to accommodate this volume)
• sludge build up must be reduced or removed to create space for anaerobic treatment
• sludge removal cost is estimated to be $75,000
• add 4-5 acres additional spray field with irrigation
Pluses for Option 4
✓ capital outlay is minimized
✓ farm may be brought into legal compliance more quickly than other options
Minuses for Option 4
- obvious reduction in revenue potential for the farm
-- additional land will still have to be added to waste utilization plan to accommodate the 3600
head farm
- sludge will still have to be removed from existing system
These options have been investigated and cost estimates obtained using the best
available data. Actual costs of any option may vary due to unanticipated soil,
weather, or other conditions.

This letter is to inform you of the progress on Pork Plus. As mentioned in a previous
update, I have discussed the project with several companies. One company,
Environmental Resources Management (ERM), is still putting together a proposal. Based
upon many considerations including the known and unknown, I am leaning toward a
retro -fit that will consist of a new anerobic waste treatment lagoon and additional spray
fields. Presently, the farm is being surveyed for the additional land requirements.
The new lagoon design will be under the supervision of an engineer and will meet the
latest NRCS standards and specifications. Wetland areas have been flagged and a
detailed soils investigation will be scheduled. Please give me a call if you have questions
or suggestions regarding this project.

Permit Nos. AWS 820025 & AWS 820038
Pork Plus Farm and C&M I Farm
Facility Nos. 82 - 25 & 82 - 38
Sampson County
Dear Mr. Faison:
. You are hereby notified that, having been permitted to have a non discharge
permit for the subject animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H
.0217, you have been found to be in violation of your 2H .0217 Permit.
On August 4, 1999, the Division of Water Quality at the Fayetteville
Regional Office conducted a routine inspection of the Pork Plus Farm and the
C&M I Farm located in Sampson County. There were some bare spots observed
on portions of the lagoon dikes at the Pork Plus Farm. Some minor erosion was
noted in the spray field directly behind the lagoon on the C&M I Farm that needs
to be addressed before the problem worsens.
A review of the irrigation records indicated that both the coastal bermuda and
the small grain overseed Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) rates had been exceeded
greater than 20%. At that time these facilities, although permitted separately,
were being operated as one farm. However, now each facility has its own separate
Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). The General Permit in
condition III.6.f states that "The Permittee shall report by telephone to the
appropriate Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours
following first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following events: (f)
OverappIying animal waste either in excess of the limits set out in the CAWMP
or where runoff enters surface waters.". It appeared that the acres used to
calculate the irrigation PAN balances did not match the acres for each field as

as specified in the CAWMP.
It was noted from a review of the CAWMP for the Pork Plus Farm, that the farm failed to have
the required acreage for the land application of the waste generated at this facility. The CAWMP
reflected a surplus of 1208 pounds of PAN. The CAWMP was written based on the values of a
lagoon, however it was determined in March of this year that the lagoon did not contain 100%
treatment volume. Therefore, the CAWMP does not take into account the true value of the amount
of PAN being generated at this facility. The irrigation records indicated that the PAN limitations
had almost been met across the entire farm. Once the PAN balance has reached zero on the coastal
bermuda, the farm will only be allowed to apply 50 to 100 lbs. (whatever the CAWMP specifies)
of PAN on the small grain overseed. It does not appear that the farm will be able to operate with
such a small PAN balance on the fields throughout the winter with the waste structure at the level
(24") it is currently at. Carroll's Foods was made aware of the situation in February 1999 and it
appears that little has been done in order to get the facility in compliance with an adequate CAWMP
and the General Permit.
The Division of Water Quality requests that the following items be addressed:
1. Establish a grass cover on all areas of the lagoons to prevent erosion.
2. Consult with a technical specialist in regards to correcting the erosion problem noted in the waste
application field directly behind the lagoon on the C&M I Farm. These areas need to be shaped and
stabilized to prevent further erosion.
3. Comply with the CAWMP and the General Permit when applying animal waste using the correct
PAN rates as specified for each crop.
4. When calculating the irrigation records, the field size used should coincide with the size of the
field as specified in the CAWMP.
5. Provide this office with a detailed plan of action as to where the wastewater from Pork Plus will
be applied once the PAN rates have been met for the current fields in order to prevent any future
over application.
6. Provide this office with a detailed explanation as to why no further efforts have been made to
correct the situation with the waste storage structure at the Pork Plus Farm. It has almost been six
months since Carroll's Foods was first made aware of the situation.
7. Adhere to all of the General Permit conditions.
Failure to comply with the above conditions may result in the facility's General Permit being
revoked and being required to obtain an individual non -discharge permit for the facility.

As you can see we have a fast tract schedule to construct a new lagoon at Pork Plus. We had
hoped to identify an alternative treatment system to the lagoon and spray field. However, as
you are aware these alternatives are not proven technology and are difficult to get permitted.
At this point we really have no choice but to move forward with what we know — this is the
lagoon system.
We trust that you can appreciate our predicament of being torn between putting in a lagoon
system that is under threat of being phased out, but not having a proven replacement which
we can get permitted.

It is anticipated that the existing spray fields in the WUP will be adequate regarding PAN
rates if the above schedule is met. If the PAN rates are reached prior to transfer to the
new lagoon, the nutrients will have to applied on other land owned or controlled by Pork
Plus. If needed, a Waste Utilization Plan will be prepared for this temporary application
and the waste will be analyized. Once the new lagoon is seeded with waste from the
existing lagoon , anerobic activity should increase and the nutrient analysis should return
to normal PAN by next Spring. The new spray fields will be established in coastal
bermuda and an Irrigation plan prepared and installed,.

Item # 6
Attached are 2 letters to DWQ giving an update on efforts to
improve the waste management system at Pork Plus. Several years
ago, the decision to retro -fit with an additional waste treatment
lagoon would have been easy and the work would be complete today.
The new rules, regulations, and threats of lagoon closure made
the decision very difficult. In order to improve the situation
in the best environmental and economical manner, several
alternative treatment systems were considered. It has taken time
to meet with 3 different companies and review their proposals.
The companies submitting proposals were BION Technologies, Waste
Technical Services, and ERM (Environmental Resources Management).
Upon reviewing the above proposals, the decision has been made to
construct an additional waste treatment lagoon and additional
spray fields. The additional land treatment area had to be
surveyed and routed through -the normal real estate transactions.
This is complete. The area for a new lagoon had to be surveyed
and flagged for wetland. This is complete. A time table has
been prepared and work will begin shortly.

MEMO TO : F. J. Faison,Jr.
FROM: Bob McLeod and Howard Hobson
SUBJECT: Revised time schedule for construction at Pork Plus due to effects of
Hurricane Dennis and Floyd
Prior to the recent hurricanes, equipment had moved onto the site and land clearing
had started. For obivious reasons, this activity was curtailed. Presently, the
contractor is monitoring the site and plans to complete the clearing phase as soon as
possible. With this in mind, we have revised the construction schedule as follows:
October 11 -November 1
-Complete land clearing
November 1-5
-Complete topographical survey
-Complete soils investigation
November 8-12
-Complete design for Engineers review
Noyember__15-19
-Engineers review of design and instructions regarding construction
November -22-25
-stake out farm
-start construction of waste treatment lagoon

E
November 26 -December 10
-complete construction
-permeability tests
-construction checks
-establish temporary vegetation
-complete certification forms and mail to DHNER
Schedule for clearing additional spray fields has changed due to possibility of
purchasing the adjacent 300 acre farm. Currently, land and timber appraisals are
being carried out. If purchased, the Waste Utilization Plan will be revised, wetlands
will be flagged, land will be cleared and crops/grass will be established in the Spring
and Summer of 2000.

P.O. Box 856
Warsaw, NC 28398
SUBJECT: Request for Information
Permit No. AWS 820025
Pork Plus Farm
Facility No. 82-25
Sampson County
Dear Mr. Faison:
On February 24, 2000, the Division of Water Quality at the Fayetteville
Regional Office received a letter in regards to the Pork Plus facility. The letter
was accompanied by a Memo to your attention from Howard Hobson, a Carroll's
employee. It was determined by Howard Hobson that the waste structure at its
current condition could not adequately treat the amount of waste being generated
from the facility at its maximum capacity of 6,000 animals. The recommendation
at that time was to seek additional land for waste application or decrease the herd
size at the facility to 3600 animals. However, it has been determined from a
review of the information by DWQ central office and regional staff that the waste
structure still cannot support a herd size of 3600 animals with a 60 day (minimum
allowed) temporary storage period and simultaneously -be considered a laeoon_
One of the following items must be addressed: (1) recalculate and reduce
to the number of animals that the structure can adequately handle and
simultaneously be considered a lagoon, (2) develop the Certified Animal Waste
Management Plan (CAWMP) based on the NRCS numbers for a holding pond
instead of a lagoon, (3) develop the CAWMP on actual on-farm waste samples (a

1. Carroll's Realty Partnership- has two general partners which are corporations headed by
F. J Faison, Jr. (Sonny Faison). The partnership applied for the general permit and listed itself as
the land owner of Pork Plus farm. The certificate of coverage was issued to the partnership for Pork
Plus farm. Deed records show the partnership has never owned any interest in the property.
2. Carroll's Foods, Inc.- is a partner in Carroll's Realty partnership and its president is F. J.
Faison, Jr. Correspondence to DWQ comes on Carroll's Foods letterhead and employees of Carroll's
Foods have certified the waste management plan. F. J. Faison, Jr. has signed at least one letter sent
on company letterhead.
ti
3. Carroll's Realty, Inc. - is a partner in Carroll's Realty partnership. This is its only
connection to the lawsuit.
4. Faison Investment, LLC - acquired 114 of Matthews Family Properties, LLC s. undivided
interest in the land on 12129199. F. J. Faison is believed to be the manager of the company. This is
its only connection to the lawsuit.
5. Matthews Family Properties, LLC - owned an undivided interest in the land with F. J.
Faison, Jr. at the time the application was submitted for the General Permit. F. J. Faison, Jr. is the
massager of the company It continues to own an interest in the land and ownership appears to be its
only connection to the lawsuit.
6. F. 3. Faison, Jr. (Sonny Faison)'- owned and continues to own an undivided interest in the
land since the permit application was submitted. He is the president of the corporations that form
the partnership and is manager of the limited liability companies that also own interests in the land.
He has held himself out as the decision maker on changes to the waste disposal systern and
corresponds on Carroll's Foods` letterhead. DWQ letters to him go to Carroll's Foods' office.
,s
Farm Operations- Sonny Faison's latest letter states the maximum number of animals that can be
raised at the farm is 3,200 but he intends to get back to 6.000 after adding lagoon capacity and spray
field acreage. He appears to be reducing the size of the herd over time but to date has not reached
the lower number. There may have been over application to the spray fields that will limit the
spraying over the next crop cycle and'' ant Pork Plus from lowering the lagoon level as required
by the CAWMP and General Permit.. Fay. R 0. has received the land application records and is
looking for over application; no report yet.
Remedy Sought - reduction to 3,200 swine or lower, ortofttl-dspeprsiation? Submission of new
CAWMP using correct # for nitrogen in waste? Compliance with new construction schedule?

Applicable Laws and Regulations
10. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.1 forbids any person to "make outlets into the waters of
the state" or "cause or permit any waste, directly or indirectly, to be discharged to or in any manner
intermixed with the waters of the State in violation of the water quality standards applicable to the
assigned classifications" unless the person has a permit to do so issued by the Environmental
Management Commission (the "EMC")." N.C: Gen. Stat_ § 143-215.1(a)(1) and (b).
11. More specifically, N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.10C provides that no person may
construct or operate an animal waste management system for ,an animal operation without first
obtaining either an individual permit or a general permit from the EMC. An "antral waste
management system" is defined as "a combination of structural and mon-structural practices which
will properly collect, treat, store or apply animal waste to the land such that 'no discharge of
pollutants occurs to surface waters of the State by any means except as a result of a storm event more
severe than the 25 -year, 24 hour storm." 15A NCAC 2H.0203(3).

N.C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax:919-?16-6767 Mar 24 '00 14:39 P.06
12. Subchapter 2H.0200 of Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code (the
"non -discharge rules") establishes the requirements and procedures for application and issuance of
permits for waste disposal systems, including animal waste management systems, which are not
authorized to make any discharge to the surface waters of the State. A copy of these Hiles is attached
as Exhibit A. The non -discharge rules provide that none of the rules shall be deemed to allow
violation of any assigned water quality standard, and, further, that any such discharges shall be
considered a violation of a condition of a permit. 15A NCAC 2H.0217(f).
13. The EMC has developed a Swine Waste Operation General Permit for swine
operations (the "General Permit'. A copy of the General Permit is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
A certified animal waste management plan ("CAWMP'l must be submitted as part of an applicant
for a Certificate of Coverage under the General Permit. A CAWW must contain the animal waste
management practices or combination of practices which are selected to comprise a plan for a
specific feedlot. 1 SA NCAC 2H.0217(a)(1)(I)(i). The CAWMP is incorporated by reference into
The General Permit issued to a swine farm operator. The purpose of the CAWMP and the General
Permit is to assure that the public health, safety and welfare are adequately protected from swine
farm operations. Included in the plan are performance and operations standards and requirements
11
that assure that the swine operations will be carefully designed and operated in a manner to
accomplish their purposes. Siting of waste lagoons and spray irrigation fields and the establishing
of proper freeboard 1 evels in the lagoons are critical in the design process to protect the public health,
safety, and welfare of the citizens of North Carolina.
14. The General Permit contains numerous provisions, including the following that are
pertinent to this case:
4

N. C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax :[phone] Mar 24 '00 14:40 P.07
(a) Condition 1 (2) of the General Permit provides that any violation of the Certified
Animal Waste Management Plan is a violation of the General Permit and subject to
enforcement action. '
(b) Condition V '(3) requires that the maximum waste level in the lagoon shall not exceed
that specified in the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan, and, further, requires
that, at a minimum, the waste level for the lagoon established in the CAWMP cannot
exceed the level that provides adequate storage to contain a 25 -year, 24-hour storm
event plus an additional one foot of freeboard to protect the structural integrity of the
ar'
lagoon embankment.
(c) Condition 11I (5) requires that records of land application events and solids removed
to an off-site location. be maintained in chronological and legible foam for a
'i
minimum of three yeari and be kept readily available for inspection.
(d) Condition III (6) requires that the permittee report by telephone to the appropriate
Division of Water Quality Regional Offices as soon as possible, but no more than 24
hours following the first knowledge, the following occurrences:
(1) Failure of any component of the animal waste collection, treatment, storage,
and land application system resulting in a discharge to surface waters.
(2) Any failure of the animal waste treatment and disposal system that renders
the facility incapable of adequately receiving, treating or storing the animal
and/or sludge;
(3) Any deterioration or leak in a lagoon/storage pond that poses an immediate
threat to the environment.
R

N.C. ATTGRNEY GENERAL
Fax:[phone] Mar 24 100 14:40 P.08
(4) Failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage pond greater than or
equal to that required in Condition V (3) of this General Permit;
r
(5) Over applying animal waste either in excess of the limits set out in
the CAWMP or where runoff enters surface waters; and
(6) Any discharge that bypasses a lagoon/storage pond resulting in a discharge
into surface waters or that poses a serious threat to the environment.
15. The EMC has delegated to the Director of the Division of Water Quality C'DWT)
+tF
of DENR the authority to issue individual non -discharge permits and certificates of coverage under
the animal waste management system -general permit. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215:3(a)(4); 15A

affecting the public health, safety or welfare.
Factual Allegations
18. On August 10, 1997,; defendant Carroll's Realty Partnership submitted a Non -
Discharge Permit application for the General Permit applicable to liquid animal waste operations for
6

N.C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax:[phone] Mar 24 '00 14:40 P.09
the Pork Plus farm which indicated that Carroll's Realty Partnership owned the land and operated
the feeder to finish swine operation known as Pork Plus farm (facility No. 92-25) near Turkey, North
Carolina.
19. Defendant Carroll's Realty Partnership received a Certificate of Coverage under the
General Permit for swine operations on July 2, 1998, for the Pork Plus farm which was permitted
for a design capacity of 6,000 swine. Located on the facility are ten swine houses and an animal
waste management system which consists of a lagoon with a design storage capacity of 766,512
cubic feet of animal waste and 68 acres of nearby spray fields onto which the animal waste stored
in the lagoon is land -applied. A copy of the Certificate of Coverage is attached as Exhibit C.
20. The records of the Register of Deeds for Sampson County reveal that, at the time of
the permit application, the land comprising the Pork Plus farm was owned in common by defendant
F. J. Faison, Jr. and defendant Matthews Family Properties, LLC. In December,1999, defendant
Faison Investments, LLC acquired a portion of the undivided interest heretofore held by defendant
Matthews Family Properties, LLC, but the eertificate of coverage for the General Permit continues
to indicate the land is owned by Carroll's Realty Partnership.
21. Upon information and belief, the Pork Plus farm is operated by defendant F. J. Faison,
Jr. and defendant Carroll's Realty Partnership through defendant general partners Carroll's Foods,
Inc. and Carroll's Realty, Inc., where F. J. Faison, Jr. serves each as president. Hereinafter, the
foregoing are referred to collectively as defendants.
22. On February 16, 1999, Scott Faircloth, an Environmental Specialist, II in the
Fayetteville Regional Office of DWQ, inspected the Pork Plus farm and, based upon its storage
capacity, determined the wastewat impoundment had the characteristics of a holding pond and not
7
�D I c�

N. C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax -919 -?16-6767 Mar 24 '00 14:41 P.10
those of a treatment lagoon. Defendants were instructed to contact their technical specialist to
evaluate the treatment storage impoundment at the Pork Plus farm which, as a component of the
9
animal waste collection, treatment, storage and disposal system, must be properly sized, maintained
I
and operated.
23. Jeffery Brown, an Environmental Engineer with the DWQ, met with Howard Hobson,
Bob McLeod and Don Butler at the main -office of defendant Carroll's Foods, Inc. in Warsaw, North
Carolina, on March 10, 1999; to review the operation of the Pork Plus farm and, in particular, to
learn of any corrective actions taken or proposcd to be taken regarding the improperly sized lagoon
and the over application of plant available nitrogen ("PAN") to the spray fields. The CAWMP used
by Pork Plus was based upon the wastev 4ter impoundment acting as a treatment lagoon. However, .
it does not have the storage capacity to treat the waste and acts only as a holding pond. Therefore,
the actual amount of nitrogen in the waste; is higher than the nitrogen level used to calculate the PAN
24. From March, 1999 through -Jkme, 1999, defendant J. F. Faison, Jr. and employees of
defendant Carroll's Foods, Inc. considered options to address the improperly sized lagoon and animal
waste disposal at the Pork Plus farm. Defendant Carroll's Foods, Inc.'s employees Howard Hobson,
Bob McLeod, Don Butler and Dexter Edwards informed defendant J. F. Faison, Jr. by memorandum
dated June 25, 1999, that "[i]n order to continue operation Pork Plus must either make changes to
its treatment system or reduce animal numbers." The evaluation states that the Pork Plus waste
lagoon at its current condition is sized for only 3,600 swine. A copy of the June 25, 1999
memorandum is attached as Exhibit D
8

N.C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax:[phone] Mar 24 '00 14:41 P.11
25. By letter dated July 27, 1999, defendant I F. Faison, Jr. informed DWQ that he was
inclined to add additional conventional, lagoon capacity and additional acreage for spray irrigation
at the Pork Plus farm.
26. On August 4, 1999, Jeffery Brown inspected the Pork Plus farm and observed
violations of the law and the General Permit, including bare spots on portions of the lagoon dikes
and that the defendants had failed to notify DWQ that plant available nitrogen ("?AM') rates had
been exceeded. As a result, a Notice of Violation was issued by DWQ on August 18, 1999,
informing defendants F. J_ Faison, Jr. and Carroll's Realty Partnership that, with the small PAN
balance then existing on the spray fields, it did not appear the farm would be able to operate through
the winter with the wastewater storage level at just 24 inches. Defendants had been made aware of
this situation in February, 1999.
27. Defendants responded to the Notice of Violation by letters dated August 27, 1995 and
informed DWQ that they had decided a traditional waste lagoon and additional spray fields would
be constructed at Pork Plus farm. Theattaehed construction schedule indicated the lagoon would
be completed by October 15, 1999.
28. A revised construction schedule for the additional lagoon and spray fields was
submitted by defendants to DWQ on October 13, 1999. The revised schedule indicated the new
lagoon would be completed by December 10, 1999, and the additional spray fields would be cleared
and crops established in the spring and summer of 2000.
29. On January 21, 2000, the lagoon freeboard was only 18 inches. Defendants' failure
to maintain adequate freeboard was a violation of the General Permit.

N.C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax:[phone] Mar 24 '00 14:42 P.12
30_ On January 31, 2000, defendants reported to the Fayetteville Regional Office of
DWQ that there was only 15 inches of freeboard. Defendants' failure to maintain adequate freeboard
was a violation of the General Permit.
31. On February 10, 2000, Jeffery Brown again inspected the Pork Plus farm and
observed the following violations of law and the General Permit: (1) the lagoon still had only 15
inches of freeboard instead of the 19 inches required by the Certified Animal Waste Management
Pian and the General Permit; (2) wastewater flowed from one of the swine buildings through a
surface water diversion ditch to a stream and water of the State below the lagoon; and (3) the
discharge of wastewater was not reported as required by the law and the General Permit.
32. Violations have continued into March, 2000. On March 1, 2000, Bob Heath with
DWQ inspected the Pork Plus farm. The lagoon had only 13 inches of freeboard. In addition, swine
wastewater was observed in a roadside drainage ditch. On March 2, 2000, Bob Heath reinspected
the Pork Plus farm and observed the freeboard was only 11-12 inches. On March 6, 2000, Mr. Heath
again observed the freeboard was only 14 inches. Defendant's continued failure to maintain,
adequate freeboard is a violation of the General -Permit,
33. An inspection of the Pork Plus farm on March 17, 2000 revealed the freeboard was
only 15 to 16 inches and continued to be in violation of the General Permit. The spray fields were
R
saturated and covered with standing water.
34. A recent inspection of the Pork Plus farm on March 22, 2000 revealed the freeboard
was only I 1 inches and standing water remained on the spray fields.
35. In response to DWQ's request for information about Pork Plus farm, defendant F. J.
Fiiiison, Jr. stated in a letter dated March 9, 2000 that there presently were 3,600 swine on the farm
10

N. C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax : [phone] Mar 24 '00 14:42 P.13
but no additional animals would be placed there until a herd size of 3,200 is reached. Defendants
have indicated the lower swine population of 3,200 is the maximum that can be handled by the farm
in its current condition. On information sand belief, the owners' andtension is to bring
the farm into compliance arid return to the 6,000 head stocking rate.
36. Since March of 1999, when defendants were notified in writing by Jeffery Brown
with DWQ of the waste storage capacity issue at Pork Plus Farm, defendants have failed to rectify
the problem at Pork Plus Farm. Defendants' correspondence with DWQ states that the Pork Plus
waste lagoon at its current condition is sized for only 3,200 swine. For nearly a year defendants have
been advising DWQ personnel in the Fayetteville Regional Office of various options under
consideration to rectify the situation. Scheduled start dates have been extended and subsequently
missed. On information and belief, the swine population has not been reduced to 3,200.
37. The inadequate freeboard level in the lagoon poses a serious threat of an unlawful
discharge of swine waste and wastewater into the waters of the State. If the liquid waste in the
lagoon remains near the twelve inch zone, the structural integrity of the wall may be overcome and
a resulting breech of the wall would occur. if that were to occur, wastewater would flow into a
stream below the lagoon and into the waters of the State.
.L
38. On information and belief, swine remaining on defendants' facility continue to
produce waste that is being added to a lagoon that is undersized and already has inadequate
freeboard. Making matters worse, although defendants recently provided the State with a plan for
bring,ing the Iagoon into compliance with the law and regulations within 30 days from February 3,
2000, e.g., by bringing the freeboard to the required level of 19 inches, that plan failed due to
inadequate effort to increase freeboard to the minimum required by the CAWMP and the General
' 11

N.C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax:[phone] Mar 24 '00 1442 P.14
Permit. In fact, freeboard has decreased and has remained at an unsafe level during March, 2000.
To alleviate the threat posed by the unsafe condition of the defendants' swine waste lagoon, the flow
of swine waste into the lagoon must be significantly reduced. To do this, defendants must
immediately remove swine from the Pork Plus Farm to reduce the population to the number that the
waste lagoon and disposal system can safely and lawfWIy accommodate. Afterward, the farm must
remain at or below the number of swine that can be lawfully handled by the waste disposal system
until either brought into compliance with the law and defendants' CAWMP and General Permit, or,
in the alternative, the animal waste management system, including the lagoon, must be closed in an
environmentally safe manner acceptable to the State and under the Court's supervision.
39. The continuing violations of State law at defendants' Pork Plus Farm are the result
of mismanagement. Its CAV" provided the basis upon which defendants could have managed
this farm and avoided the serious threat now posed by inadequate freeboard in the lagoon. On
information and belief, defendants could have and should have engaged in a spraying regime that
would have lowered the volume of waste lagoon to a safe level before the rainy season began
and sprayed on all available days since then to -keep the freeboard at a safe level. In addition, on
information and belief, defendants could,have transferred waste from the lagoon to other lagoons on
swine farms they own or operate. On information and belief, defendants could have and should have
further reduced the number of swine at the Pork Plus farm to maintain the freeboard required by the
CAWMP and General Permit. On information and belief, defendants' conduct is the cause of the
environmental threat posed by the condition of its lagoon or holding pond.
12

N.C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax : [phone] Mar 24 '00 14:43 P.15
40. The allegations contained in paragraphs 1 through 24 are incorporated into this claim
for relief as if fully set forth herein.
i
41- Defendants' CAWMP and General Permit require that the minimum freeboard that
must be maintained is 14 inches. This includes storage capacity to hold the 25 -year, 24-hour storm
event plus an additional 12 inches necessary to maintain the structural integrity of the lagoon.
Defendants are in violation of the State's water quality laws and administrative rules, the CAWMP
and General Permit because defendants, inter alfa, (1) failed to maintain the required minimum
freeboard, (2) discharged swine waste to the waters of the State, and (3) maintained and continue to
maintain the lagoon in a condition which poses a serious threat of future discharges of swine waste
into the waters of the State, and (4) failed to notify the Static of past discharges and over application
of PAN when they occurred, and inadequate freeboard levels as required by the CAWNT and
,11
General Permit.
42. The lack of adequate freeboard poses a serious threat of rupture of the lagoon and
discharge of animal waste into the waters of the State — in violation of State law-- unless immediate
corrective action is taken. The risk of such a discharge increases as more waste is added to the
lagoon. Such a discharge would cause immediate and swore injury and damage to the water quality
of the State. For these reasons, the State is entitled to preliminary, and subsequent permanent,
injunctive relief that compels defendants to bring this farm into compliance with the law. N.C. Gen.
Stat. § 143.215.6C. At a minimum, the Court should order defendants to cease violating the State's
water quality laws and administrative rules, the CAWMP and General Permit. Specifically, the
Court should order defendants to reduce the number of the swine housed on the Pork Plus farm to
13

r
N. C. RTTORNEY GENERRL Fax:[phone] Mar 24 '00 1443 P.16
3,200 or lower, to lower the level of the liquid impounded in the lagoon to a safe level as soon as
possible, and to forbid defendants from operating Pork Plus farm as a swine operation until
defendants comes into full compliance with the law, including compliance with the CAWMP and
General Permit.
61*41410 jousllwl►�.
43. The allegations contained in paragraphs 1 through 27 are incorporated into this claim
for relief as if fully set forth herein.
44. The continued operation of defendants' Pork Plus farm and lagoon without adequate
freeboard is causing and continues to cause serious danger to the public health, safety and welfare
of the people of North Carolina, thereby constituting a public nuisance. Such operation should be
stopped until the nuisance has been abated.
PRAYER FOR RELIEE
WHEREFORE, the plaintiff, State of North Carolina, prays that the Court grant to it the
following relief. —
1. That the Court accept this verified complaint as an affidavit upon which to. base
orders of the Court.
2. That the Cour enter a preliminary injunction ordering defendants to:

1 am contacting you to update you on the current status of the Pork Plus farm and our efforts toward addressing
environmental and permitting concerns. Please refer to the attached copy of documents previously submitted to N.C.
DLNR which clearly outline steps already taken, steps in progress and future plans of this farm.
1 have been informed that the office of the N.C. Attorney General may be considering a legal action against the
Pork Plus farm. I further understand that the pending action may require me to reduce the animal population at Pork
Plus to 3200 head_ At the present time, there are 3,687 animals on the farm. On April 7L', 380 will be sold and on
April 17" 630 will be sold. This will bring the total on the farm to 2,677. The placements will be controlled so as not
to exceed 3200 head from that date forward. This population reduction is according to our letter of March 28i6
.
Further, I may be required to prepare a plan to lower lagoon levels to 19" or greater. I have already submitted a 30 -day
plan of action to do this and am on schedule to have 19" or greater within that time frame.
1 don't understand why any legal action is being contemplated given the fact that i have already done the
things that DWQ has recommended.
Additional measures planned at Pork Plus include:
1. Resetting the liquid level indicator in the lagoon to the proper elevation. The
existing indicator has been determined to be installed incorrectly, making it appear that there is less freeboard
available than there actually is. Resetting the indicator will be done no later than Tuesday, April 4, 2000.
2. We are in the process of determining which of two methods we will use to remove sludge accumulation in the
lagoon. We will be testing a centrifugal separation machine on one of our farms April 4, 2000. We are
tioptimistic that this machine will be able to efficiently remove the solids for removal from the farm. Another
potential approach for sludge removal is to pump the solids in a more liquid form into tankers for transport off
the farm. Whichever of these methods appears more effective and efficient will be the method we pursue.
3. After the sludge has been removed, I plan to re -apply for an operating permit
for 5100 animals on this fano. This level of production can safely be maintained after sludge removal and a
revised Waste Utilization Plan showing adequate land and cropping program.

WARSAW, NC 28398
Phone --------:910 293-3434
Type Operation ------------- FEED -TO -FINISH
Number of Animal-----------: 3200

Method of application-------: Irrigation
Amount of waste produced per year---------------: 6080 tons/year
Amount of plant available N (PAN) produced/year-: 7360 lbs./year
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 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:
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 not be applied to land eroding at more
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
in runoff to the surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ
regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoild 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.

P.16/24
Thisplan 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 on
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 the 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.

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 applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while
meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require
farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only
Addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in
bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing, hay and/or
silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a
height of six to nine'inches. Cattle should be removed when plants
are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain

APR 04 '00 10:14AM CARROLL'S FOODS
Page 4
P.18/24
etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised
not to to let small drain to reach maturity, especially late in
the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain
gets too high and this will definitely interfere with stand of
bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and
less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for
hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you
are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times durin the
season, depending on time small grain is planted in the fa 1.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, ate, is late September
or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting.
Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two
inches before drilling for best results.
Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals
under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning may occur in
livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is
recommended.
Acres shown in the 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 field listed may, and most likely will be, more than
the acres shown -in the tables.
Sea attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization
of animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION;
The waste utilization plan must contain provision 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 1152 lbs. of plant available
nitrogen per year in the sludge.
If you remove sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately
5760 lbs. of PAN to utilize. assuming you apply this PAN to
hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs. of nitrogen
per afire, you will need 19 acres of land. If you apply the
sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lbs. of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 45 acres of land. Please be aware that these are
only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements
could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil
types, realistic yields, and application methods.

APR 04 'ee 10:15AM CARROLL'S FOODS
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 or anic
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

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
EXHIBIT A-6
MRCS, NC
JUNE, 1996
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by
runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct
discharge during operation of land application. Any discharge
of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
Z. 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 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, 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 discretation 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 -Filter Strips)
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste of 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 and flies.
S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste should applied to saturated soils, during rainfall
events, or when the surface is frozen.
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 So feet from any residential
roperty boundary and from'any perennial stream or river other
han an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than
swine waste from facilities sited on or after 10/1/95, shall
not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This
distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial pro-
vided 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 zoo 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 approved as a land applications site by a "technical
specialist". Animal waste applied on grassed waterways shall
be at 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 (la oon embankments, berms, pipe runs,
etc.). Areas shll be fenced, as necessary, to protect the
vegetation. vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other wood
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 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 permanent markers shall be installed to mark the
to 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. Sbil tests shall be made every two years and a liquid waste
analysis be taken at least twice each year consistent with
:waste utilization plan. Poultry litter shall be tested prior
to.application. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that -meets North
Carolina regulations.

Applicable Laws and Regulations
10, N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.1 forbids any person to 'make outlets into the waters of
the state" or "cause or permit any waste, directly or indirectly, to be discharged to or in any manner
intermixed with the waters of the State in violation of the water quality standards applicable to the .
assigned classifications" unless the person has a permit to do so issued by the Environmental
Management Commission (the "EMC')." N.C. Gert. Stat. § 143-215.I(a)(1) and (6).
11. More specifically, N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.10C provides that no person may
construct or operate an animal waste management, system for an animal operation without fust
obtaining either an individual permit or a general permit from the EMC. An "animal waste
management system" is defined as "a combination of structural and non-structural practices which
will properly collect, treat, store or apply animal waste to the land such that no discharge of
pollutants occurs to surface waters of the State by any means except as a result of a storm event more
severe than the 25 -year, 24 hour storm." 15A NCAC 2H.0203(3).
3

N.C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax:[phone] Mar 31 '00 10:40 P.05
12. Subchapter 2H.0200 of TitIe 1 SA of the North Carolina Administrative Code',(the:'
"non -discharge rules") establishes the requirements and procedures for application and issuance of
permits for waste disposal systems, including animal waste management systems, which are not
authorized to make any discharge to the surface waters of the Mate. A copy of these rules is attached
as Exhibit A. The non -discharge rules provide that none of the rules shall be deemed to allow
violation of any assigned water quality standard, and, further, that any such discharges shall be
considered a violation of a condition of a permit. 1 SA NCAC 2H.0217(f).
13. The EMC has developed a Swine Waste Operation General Permit for swine
operations (the "General Permit'. A copy of the General Permit is attached hereto as Exhibit B.
A certified animal waste management plan ("CAWNiP') must be submitted as part of an application
for a Certificate of Coverage under the General Permit. A CAWMP must contain the animal waste
management practices or combination of practices which are selected to comprise a plan for a
specific feedlot. 15A NCAC 2H.0217(a)(1)(H)(i). The CAWMP is incorporated by reference into
the General Permit issued to a swine farm operator. The purpose of the CAWMP and the General
Permit is to assure that the public health, safety and welfare are adequately protected from swine
farm operations. Included in the plan are performance and operations standards and requirements
that assure that the swine operations will be carefully designed and operated in a manner to
accomplish their -purposes. Siting of waste lagoons and spray irrigation fields and the establishing
of proper freeboard levels in the Iagoons are critical in the design process to protect the public health,
safety, and welfare of the citizens of North, Carolina.
14. The General Permit contains numerous provisions, including the following that are
pertinent to this case:
4

N.O. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax:[phone] Mar 31.'00 10:40 P.06
(a) Condition I (2) of the General Permit provides that any violation of the Certified
Animal Waste Management Plan is a violation of the General Permit and subject,to
enforcement action.
(b) Condition V (3) requires that the maximum waste level in the lagoon shall not exceed
that specified in the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan, and, fiitsher, requires
that, at a minimum, the waste level for the lagoon established in the CAWMP cannot
exceed the level that provides adequate storage to contain a 25 -year, 24-hour storm
event plus an additional one foot of freeboard to protect the structural integrity of the
lagoon embankment.
(c) Condition M (5) requires that records of land application events and solids removed
to an off-site location be maintained in chronological and legible form for a
minimum of three years and be kept readily available for inspection.
(d) Condition III (6) requires that the permittee report by telephone to the appropriate
Division of Water Quality Regional Offices as soon as possible, but no more than 24
hours following the first knowledge, the following occurrences:
(1) Failure of any component of the animal waste collection, treatment, storage,
and land application system resulting in a discharge to surface waters.
(2) Any failure of the animal waste treatment and disposal system that renders
the facility incapable of adequately receiving, treating or storing the animal
and/or sludge; :
(3) Any deterioration or leak in a lagoon/storage pond that poses an immediate
threat to the environment.
5

N.C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax :[phone] Mar 31 '00 1041 P.O?
(4) Failure to maintain storage capacity in, a lagoon/storage pond greater than or,
equal to that required in Condition V (3) of this General permit;
(5) Over applying animal waste either in excess of the limits set out in
the CAWMP or where runoff enters surface waters; and
(6) Any discharge that bypasses a lagoon/stomge pond resulting in a discharge
into surface waters or that poses a serious threat to the environment.
15. The EMC has delegated to the Director of the Division of Water Quality ("DWQ")
of DENR the authority to issue individual non -discharge permits and certificates of coverage under
the animal waste management system general permit. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.3(x)(4); 15A
NCAC 2H.0209.
16. Whenever DENR has reasonable cause to believe that any person has violated or is
threatening to violate any of the provisions of the State's environmental laws or administrative rules,
including State water quality laws and rules, DENR is authorized to "request the Attorney General
to institute a civil action in the name of the State upon the relation of [DENR] for injunctive relief
to restrain the violation or threatened violation," and, "the court shall grant the relief necessary to
prevent or abate the violation or threatened violation." N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.6C.
17. Under the common law of North Carolina, the Attorney General has the power and
authority to file a civil action on behalf of the citizens of the State to abate a public nuisance
affecting the public.health, safety or welfare.
Fadual Allegations
18. On August - 10, 1997, defendant Carroll's Realty Partnership submitted a Non -
Discharge Permit application for the General Permit applicable to liquid animal waste operations for
1.1

N.C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax :[phone] Mar 31 '00 1041 P-08
the Pork Plus farm which indicated that Carroll's Realty Partnership owned the land and operated.
the feeder to finish swine operation known as Pork Plus farm (facility No. 82-25) near Turkey, North'.
Carolina_ A copy of the application is attached as Exhibit C.
19. Defendant Carroll's Realty Partnership received a Certificate of Coverage under the
General Permit for swine operations on July 2, 1998, for the Pork Plus farm which was permitted
for a design capacity of 6,000 swine. Located on the facility are ten swine houses and an animal
waste management system which consists of a lagoon with a design storage capacity of 766,512
cubic feet of animal waste and 68 acres of nearby spray fields onto which the animal waste stored
in the lagoon is land -applied. A copy of the Certificate of Coverage is attached as Exhibit D.
20. The records of the Register of Deeds for Sampson County reveal that, at the time of
the permit application, the land comprising the Pork Plus farm was owned in common by defendant
F. J. Faison, Jr, and defendant Matthews Family Properties, LLC. In December, 1999, defendant
Faison Investments, LLC acquired a portion of the undivided interest heretofore held by defendant
Matthews Family Properties, LLC, but the certificate of coverage for the General Permit continues
to indicate the land is owned by Carroll's Realty Partnership.
21- Upon information and belief, the Pork Plus farm is operated by defendant F. J. Faison,
Jr. and defendant Carroll's Realty Partnership through defendant general partners Carroll's Foods.
Inc. and Carroll's Realty, Inc., where F. J. Faison, Jr. serves each as president.. Hereinafter, the
foregoing collectively are referred to as defendants.
22. On February 16, 1999, Scott Faircloth, an Environmental Specialist; II in the
Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of Soil and Water Conservation, inspected the Pork Plus
farm and, based upon its storage capacity, determined the wastewater impoundment had the
7

N. C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax : [phone] Mar 31 '00 10:42 P.09
characteristics of a holding pond and not those of a treatment lagoon. Defendants were instructed
to contact their technical specialist to evaluate the treatment storage impoundment at the Pork Plus
farm which, as a component of the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and disposal system,
must be properly sized, maintained and operated.
23. Jeffery Brown, an Enviroirimental Engineer with the DWQ, met with Howard Hobson,
Bob McLeod and Don Butler at the main office of defendant Carroll's Foods, Iric. in Warsaw, North
Carolina, on March 10, 1999, to review the operation of the Pork Plus farm and, in particular, to
learn of any corrective actions taken or proposed to be taken regarding the improperly sized lagoon
and the over application of plant available nitrogen ("PAN") to the spray fields. The CAWMP used
by Pork Plus was based upon the wastewater impoundment acting as a treatment lagoon. However,
it does not have the storage capacity to treat the waste and acts only as a holding pond Therefore,
the actual amount of nitrogen in the waste is higher than the nitrogen level used to calculate the PAN
in the CAWMP.
24. From March, 1999 through June, 1999, defendant J_ F. Faison, Jr. and employees of
defendant Carroll's Foods, Inc. considered options to address the improperly sized lagoon and animal
waste disposal at the Pork PIus farm. Defendant Carroll's Foods, Inc.'s employees Howard Hobson,
Bob McLeod, Don Butler and Dexter Edwards informed defendant J. F. Faison. Jr. by memorandum
dated June 25, 1999, that "[i)a order to continue operation Pork Plus must either make changes to
its treatment system or reduce animal numbers." The evaluation states that the Pork Plus waste
lagoon at its current condition is sized for only 3,500 swine. A copy of the June 25, 1999
memorandum is attached as Exhibit E.

N.C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax : [phone] Mar 31.'00 10:42 P.10
25. By letter dated July 27,1999, defendant J. F. Faison, Jr. informed DWQ that he was
inclined to add additional conventional lagoon capacity and additional acreage for spray irrigation
at the Pork Pleas farm.
26. On August 4, 1999, Jeffery Brown inspected the Pork Plus farm and observed
violations of the law and the General Permit, including bare spots on portions of the lagoon dikes
and that the defendants had failed to notify DWQ that plant available nitrogen ("PAN') rates had
been exceeded. As a result, a Notice of Violation was issued by DWQ on August 18, 1999,
informing defendants F. J. Faison, Jr. and Carroll's Realty Partnership that, with the small PAN
balance then existing on the spray fields, it did not appear the farm would be able to operate through
the winter with the wastewater storage level at just 24 inches. Defendants had been made aware of
this situation in February, 1999.
27. Defendants responded to the Notice of Violation by letters dated August 27, 1999 and
informed DWQ that they had -decided a traditional waste lagoon and additional spray fields would
be constructed at Pork Plus farm. The construction schedule attached to the response indicated the
lagoon would be completed by October 15, 1999. .
28. A revised construction schedule for the additional lagoon and spray fields was
submitted by defendants to DWQ on October 13, 1999. The revised schedule indicated the new
lagoon would be completed by December 10, 1999, and the additional spray fields would be cleared
and crops established in the spring and summer of 2000.
29. On January 21, 2000, the lagoon freeboard was only 18 inches. Defendants' failure
to maintain adequate freeboard was a violation of the General Permit.
9

N.C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax:[phone] Mar 31 '00 10:43 P.11
30. On January 31, 2000, defendants reported to the Fayetteville Regional Office of
DWQ that there was only 15 inches of freeboard in the lagoon. Defendants' failure. to maintain
adequate freeboard was a violation of the General Permit.
31. On February 10, 2000, Jeffery Brown again inspected the Pork Plus farm and
observed the following violations of law and the General Permit: (1) the lagoon still had only IS
inches of freeboard instead of the 19 inches required by the Certified Animal Waste Management
Plan and the General Permit; (2) wastewater flowed from one of the swine buildings through.a
surface water diversion ditch to a stream and waters of the State below the lagoon; and (3) the
discharge of wastewater was not reported as required by the General Permit.
32. On February 21, 2000, defendant F. J. Faison, Jr. responded to DWQ's request for
information regarding an evaluation of the waste storage structure and revision of the CAWMP. The
response included the assertion that one ,urine house had been emptied and no more an-iinals would
be placed on the farm until the liquid level in the lagoon has been lowered to 25 inches. In addition,
Construction on the waste teatment and disposal system would now be completed in raid -summer.
A copy of the response is attached as Exhibit F.
33. Violations have continued into March, 2000. On March 1, 2000, Bob Heath with
DWQ inspected the Pork Plus farm. The lagoon had only 13 inches of freeboard. In addition, swine
wastewater was observed in a roadside drainage ditch. On March 2, 2000, Bob Heath reinspected
the Port: Plus farm and observed the freeboard in the lagoon was only l 1-12 inches. On March 6, .
2000, Mr. Heath again observed that the freeboard was only 14 inches.. Defendant's continued
failure to maintain adequate freeboard is a violation of the General Permit.
10

34. DWQ employees Bob Heath and John Hasty conducted a site visit to Pork Plus farm
on March 7, 2000. They observed the freeboard continued to be at the 15 inch level in the lagoon
and spray irrigation of wastewater was being conducted on a nearby field. • On March 22, 2000,
Defendants submitted a copy of the records of episodes of irrigation conducted during the months
of February and March and there was no irrigation event recorded for March 7, 2000. General
Permit condition RI, 5 requires that all irrigation events be recorded and defendants' failure to record
the spray irrigation that occurred on March 7, 2000 is a violation of the General Permit. A copy of
defendants irrigation record for January through March 22nd is attached as Exhibit G.
35. An inspection of the Pork Plus farm on March 17, 2000 revealed the freeboard in the
lagoon was only 15 to 16 inches and continued to be in violation of the General Permit. The spray
fields were saturated and covered with standing water.
36. A recent inspection of the Pork Plus farm on March 22, 2000 revealed the freeboard
in the lagoon was only 11 inches and standing water remained on the spray fields.
37. Defendants' most recently submitted "30 .day plan of action" to address the high
freeboard at the fork Plus farm indicated the freeboard in the lagoon on March 24, 2000 was 15.6
inches and continued to fail to meet the level required by the CAVW and the General Permit.
38. In response to DWQ's requests for information about Pork Plus farm. defendant F-
J .
_
J. Faison, Jr. stated in a letter dated March 9, 2000 that there presently were 3,600 swine on the farm
but no additional animals would be placed there until a herd size of 3,200 is reached. 'It is the
owners' and operators' intention is to bring the farm. into compliance and return to the 6,000 head
stocking rate. In another response dated March 28, 2000, defendant F. J. Faison, Jr.- stated the swine
population would be at 3,200 head on or before April 19, 2000 and remain at that number until the
11

N.C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax :[phone] Mar 3110 00 1043 P.13
retrofit is complete and approved by DWQ. Although defendants assert the lower swine population
of 3,200 is the maximum that can be handled by the farm in its current condition and have calculated
their latest 30 day plan of action on having no more than 3,200 swine on the farm, the 30 day plan
of action will fail because more than 3,200 swine will be on the farm at least until April 19, 2000
and more animal waste will be generated than the volume accounted for in the action plan. A copy
of defendant F. J. Faison, Jr.'s letter dated March 9, 2000 is. attached as Exhibit H and letter dated
March 28, 2000 is attached as Exhibit I.
39. Since March of 1999, when defendants were notified in writing by Jeffery Brown,
with DWQ of the waste storage capacity issue at Pork Plus Farm, defendants have failed to rectify.
the problem at Pork Plus Farm. Defendants' correspondence with DWQ states that the Pork Plus
waste lagoon at its current condition is sized for only 3,200 swine but the farm has continuously
housed more than 3,200. For nearly a year defendants have been advising DWQ personnel in the
Fayetteville Regional Office of various options under consideration to rectify the situation.
Scheduled start dates have been extended and subsequently missed. On information and belief, the
swine population has not been reduced to 3,200.
40. The inadequate freeboard Ievel in the lagoon poses a serious threat of an unlawful
discharge of swine waste and wastewater into the waters of the State. If the liquid waste in the
lagoon remains near the twelve inch zone, the structural integrity of the wall may be overcome and
a resulting breech of the wall would occur. if that were to occur, wastewater would flow into a
stream below the lagoon and into the waters of the State.
41. On information and belief, swine remaining on defendants' facility continue to
produce waste that is being added to a lagoon that is undersized and already has inadequate
12

N. C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax :[phone] Mar 31 '00 10:44 P.14
freeboard. Making matters worse, although defendants provided the State with a plan for bringing
the lagoon into compliance with the law and regulations within 30 days from February 3, 2004, e.g.,
by bringing the freeboard to the required level of 19 inches, that plan failed due to inadequate effort
to increase freeboard in the lagoon to the minimum required by the CAWMP and the General Permit.
In fact, freeboard has decreased and has remained at an unsafe level during March, 2040. To
alleviate the threat posed by the unsafe condition of the defendants' swine waste lagoon, the flow
of swine waste into the lagoon must be stopped. To do this, defendants must immediately remove
all of the swine from the Pork Pius farm. Afterward, the farm must remain depopulated of swine
until brought into compliance with the law and defendants' CAWMP and General Permit.
42. The continuing violations of State law at defendants' Pork Plus Farm are the result
of mismanagement. The CAWMP provided the basis upon which defendants could have managed
This farm and avoided the serious threat now posed by inadequate freeboard in the lagoon. On
information and belief, defendants could have and should have engaged in a spraying regime that
would have lowered the volume of waste in its lagoon to a safe level before the rainy months of
October through March, and sprayed on all available days since then to keep the freeboard at.a safe
level. In addition, on information and belief, defendants could have transferred waste from the
lagoon to other lagoons on swine farms they own or operate. On information and belief, defendants
could have and should have further reduced the number of swine at the Pork Plus farm to maintain
the frceboard required by the CAVAI Q and General Permit. On information and belief, defendants'
conduct is the cause of the environmental threat posed by the condition of its lagoon or holding
pond.
13

N. C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax : [phone] Mar 31 '00 10:44 P.15
43. The allegations contained in paragraphs 1 through 24 are incorporated into this claim
for relief as if fully set forth herein.
44. Defendants' CAWMP and General Permit require that the minimum freeboard that
must be maintained is 19 inches. This includes storage capacity to hold the 25 -year, 24-hour storm
event plus an additional 12 inches necessary to maintain the structural integrity of the lagoon.
Defendants are in violation of the State's water quality laws and administrative rules, the CAWMP
and General Permit because defendants, inter alga, (1) failed to. maintain the required minimum
freeboard, (2) discharged swine waste to the waters of the State, and (3) maintained and continue to
maintain the lagoon in a condition which poses a serious threat of future discharges of swine waste
into the waters of the State, and (4) failed to notify the State of past discharges and over application
of PAN when they occurred, and inadequate freeboard levels as required by the CAWMP and
General Permit.
45. The lack of adequate freeboard poses a serious threat of rupture of the lagoon and
discharge of animal waste into the waters of the State -- in violation of State law— unless immediate
corrective action is taken. The risk of such a discharge increases as more waste is added to the
lagoon. Such a discharge would cause immediate and severe injury and damage to the water quality
of the State. For these reasons, the State is entitled to preliminary, and subsequent permanent,
injunctive relief that compels defendants to depopulate the farm and bring it into compliance. with
the law. N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-215.6C, At a minimum, the Court should order defendants to cease
violating the State's water quality laws and administrative rules, the CAVVW and General Permit.
Specifically, the Court should order defendants to remove all of the swine remaining on its Pork Plus
14

farm, to lower the level of the liquid impounded in the'lagoon to 19 inches of freeboard as required
by the CAWMP and General Permit, and to forbid defendants from operating Pork Plus farm as a
swine operation until defendants comes into full compliance with the law, including compliance with
the CAWNiP and General Permit.
46. The allegations contained in paragraphs 1 through 27 are incorporated into this claim
for relief as if fully set forth herein.
47. The continued operation of defendants' Pork Plus farm and lagoon without adequate
freeboard is causing and continues to cause serious danger to the public health, safety and welfare
of the people of North Carolina, thereby constituting a public nuisance. Such operation should be
stopped until the nuisance has been abated.
A`
WHEREFORE, the plaintiff, State of North Carolina, prays that the Court grant to it the
following relief:
1. That the Court accept this verified complaint as an affidavit upon which to base .
orders of the Court.
2. That the Court enter a preliminary injunction ordering defendants to:
(a) prevent any further discharge of animal waste or.wastewater from the Pork
Plus farm;
(b) immediately remove all of the swine remaining on the Pork Plus farm;
(c) lower the level of the liquid impounded in its lagoon to 19 inches within 30
days of the receipt of the newest plan of action referenced in Paragraph 2 (e)

below, and, thereafter, (1) maintain the freeboard level in accordance with
defendants' certified animal waste mi uagemcnt plan and Ocneral Permit, and
(2) install monitoring equipment designed to measure the lagoon liquid level
that will alert defendants when the liquid reaches a critical level;
(d) cease operating the Pork Plus farm as a swine operation until defendant
comes into full compliance with the law, its certified animal waste
management plan and General Permit; and
(e) within 48 hours of the entry of the preliminary injunction, file with the Court
a plan of action, acceptable to the State, which sets forth a timetable and the
steps defendant will take to remove all swine from the farm within 14 days
and to obtain 19 inches of freeboard in the lagoon within 30 days.
(i) within 30 days of the entry of the preliminary injunction, file with the Court
an evaluation of the reasons for the high freeboard and discharges at Pork Plus
farm, and defendant's strategy to prevent high freeboard and discharges in the
future.
(g) contemporaneously serve on plaintiffs counsel the documents filed with the
Court as required in Paragraphs 2 (e) and 2 (fl.
3. That the Court enter a permanent injunction forbidding defendants to operate its Pork .
Plus farm as a swine operation unless and until defendants bring the farm into full
compliance with the State's water quality laws and defendants' certified animal
waste management plan and General Permit; and, if defendants choose not to resume
operating the Pork Plus farm as a swine operation, that the Court order defendants
16

N.C. ATTORNEY GENERAL Fax:[phone] Mar 31 '00 10:46 P.18
to close their lagoon or holding pond under the Court's supervision in accordance
with the Natural Resources Conservation Service standards for lagoon closure
referenced in Paragraph V (7) of the General Peru& pursuant to further orders of the
Court;
4. That the Court retain continuing jurisdiction of this case until all provisions of its
orders are carried out;
5. That any preliminary injunction, and any subsequent permanent injunction issued by
