Additional Information Request
Mike Herring Farm
Animal Waste Operation
Sampson County
Dear Mike Herring:
The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary review of the subject application. Additional
information is required before we can continue our review. The following components were missing from your
Certified Animal Waste Management Plan:
,/) The WUP submitted calculates the amount of nitrogen produced in one year. However, it appears that
wl � your WUP was written as a two-year crop rotation of corn -soybeans -wheat on a one-year plan. Please
akl" .� revise your WUP so that the nitrogen produced and the nitrogen utilized by crops is calculated for the
^i same time period. Some options for revising the WUP include: calculating the amount of nitrogen
produced for a two-year period of time; revising your WUP to show waste utilization for Year One and
6 Year Two of the two-year rotation in separate tables; or showing a two-year crop rotation with corn and
ip � y P g y P
aha soybeans on half the acreage from each field.
All revisions / amendments are required to be signed and dated by both the landowner and the Technical
Specialist before they are submitted for review. Please reference the subject permit application number when
providing the requested information. All information should be signed and submitted in duplicate to my attention at
the address below. The information requested by this letter must be submitted on or before December 24, 1998 or the
Division will return your application as incomplete in accordance with 15A N.C.A.C. 2H .0200 and your facility will
be considered to be operating without a permit.
Please be advised that operation of the subject animal waste management system without a valid permit is a
violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and will subject you to the enforcement authority of the
Environmental Management Commission.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please call me at [phone], extension 571.
Sincerely,

Farm Name; MIKE HERRING
7520 FIVE BRIDGES RD
CLINTON,NC 28328
Telephone # : [phone]
Type of Operation: Feeder to Finish Swine
Number of Animals: 3672 hogs design rapacity
Application Method: Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be
used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where
waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly
encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be
grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe
manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
contents of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are
important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange
capacities, and avaialable water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to
land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre -cautions, waste may
be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on
saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions
may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind
conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To
maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for
~`pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more
than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems. This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this is
the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to inject the waste
in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating
waste 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. Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for ananlysis. This waste
utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
3672 hogs X 2.3 lbs PANlhogslyear = 8"5.6 PAN/year
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate
equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown,
soil type and suface application.

the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables.
NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of
sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nurturient rich and will require precautionary
measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility
will produce approximately 1358.64 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the
sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when
broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special
equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge.
See the attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water.
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.
"Your facility is designed for 184 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
.be removed on the average of once -every 5.92 months. In no instance should the volume of
.waste being stored in your structure be within 1.6 feet of the top of the dike.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsiblity of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to property
irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

PLANS & SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any
discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject
to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Water Quality for every
day the discharge continues_
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has long term access to adequate land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy
of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing
himther the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production
facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste
Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals,
method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic
crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for
other nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System. (RMS) or
an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no
greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff
leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. (See
FOTG Stantard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6. When anima[ waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it wiA be soil incorporated
on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the
waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to
_flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the NRCS Technical Reference -
Environment file 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 conditions
conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is
not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth.
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 on bare soil.
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
comaonent of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary
Page 6 of 9

and from any perennial stream or river (other that an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste
other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied
closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal Waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landownwer.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right - of ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted croplands
provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist"_
Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water
courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the application causes no runoff or
drift from the site.
*1$. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc.,
shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system.
'17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be
provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation.
Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where
considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms
and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge.
*18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
*19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks,.and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be
"{dept 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 as a preemergence with no other applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
*21. Highly visible markgrs shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the
temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be

'This plan wRl be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflo%xing, or running off, site. You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters or
leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to
ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible location for
all employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should take.
1. Stop the release of w4tes. Dependbig on the situation, this may or may not be
possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below.
A. Lazo= oVerflow-possible solutions are:
a. Add soil to be=-rn to increase elevation of dam.
b. Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all flows to the lagoon ir=cdiately.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Malec sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B: Runoff from waste application field -actions include:
a. immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
c. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
d. Evaluate and eliminate the reasons) that caused the runoff.
e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred.
C: Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers -action include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Close v2jves to eliminate further discharge.
d. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
D: Leal aYe from flush systems, houses, solid separators -action include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irritation pump.
C. NSake sure no siphon occurs.
d. Stop all f]o%vs in the house, flush systems, or solid separators.
December 18, 1996

c. Repaid all leaks prior to r_sta ung pumps.
E: Leakage from base or sidew•all of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to
flowing leaks- possible action:
a. Dig a small sump or ditch away from the embankment to catch all seepage,
put in a submersible pump, and pump back to lagoon.
b. If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill
holes and compact with a clay type soil.
c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and lagoon
bottom as soon as possible.
2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a. Did the %;--aste reach any surface waters?
b. Approximately how much was relesed and for what duration?
c. Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or prope.Ly damage?
d. Did the spill leave the property?
e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters?
f. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters?
g. Are potable water wells in dander (either on or off of the property)?
E. How much reached surface waters?
3: Contact appropriate agencies.
a. Durin a nornnal business hours, call your DWQ (Division of Water Quality)
reGional ofrice; Phone - . After hours, emergency number: 919-733-3942.
Your phone call should include: your name, facility, telephone number, the details

WATEROUAMgECTl
Animal waste lagoons are designed with perman:M t�orageb
(waste treatment volume) and temporary storage . e p
The designed 6 month temporary storage is an estimated
volume based on: 1) waste from animais; 2) excess rainfall
after, evaporation; and 3) the largest 24 hour (one day)
rainfall that occurs on the average of once every 25 years.
The volume of waste generated. from a given number of animals
will be fairly constant throughout the year. and from year to
year. The excess rainfall will vary greatly during the year
and from year to year. This estimate is based on 7 inches
of excess rainfall which is equal to or exceeds the highest
b months excess in a year. The average annual excess
rainfall is approximately 8 inches. Therefore, an average
of 8 inches of excess rainfall will need to be pumped each
year. The: 25 year rainfall wi l l not be a factor to consider
in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must
always be available. A maximum elevation is determined in
each design to begin pump ing and this is usually the omtIat
invert of pipe from building(s). If the outlet pipe Is not
InstaIIad on the @I@vatIon to begin pump ing, a permanent
maluw smst be Installed on this eIawatIon to Indicate vMM
peep i n9 shoa I d begin. After Initial f 11.1 Ing of I asoor, a
minimum 6 foot depth must be maintained for anerobic
treatment of waste. M elevation must be established to
stop pumping to maintain the minimum treatment depth.
Pumping can be started or stopped anytime between these two
elevations for operating convenience so long as site
conditions permit (conditions are weather, sail, crop, and
equipment to apply waste to prevent runoff or leaching).
For this lagoon the maximum elevation to begin pumping is
-iZo feet and the'minimum elevation to pump to is 1,13_p feet.
The design tmWorary storage, less Z5 year storm, is i?3, 1o1
cubic feat orzz9-�?fsgalIons. As stated before, this volume
will vary considerably from year to year.
This lagoon is designed to flush buildings with recycled
lagoon liquid, and fresh water should not be used for
flushing after initial filling.

4. It is recommended that the treatment lagoon be precharged
to 1/2 of it's capacity to prevent excessive odors during
beginning stages of the operation. Precharging reduces
the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon
thereby reducing odors. Wilds should be covered with
water at all times.
S. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas around the
