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 limitations. 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 one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour
storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and the waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated
properly to apply the correct rates 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 have receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the
amount of waste per me and the proper application rate prior to appling the waste.

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 sot# 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 the 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. Sod 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 avoid drift and downwind odor problems_
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crops production and to reduce the potential for
pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days
prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will
conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods
in the future, you need to revise this plan_ Nutrient levels for different applications 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
T & P Farms
Page 2
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.

T & P Farms rage a
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
etc. is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain to reach mate*,
especially late in the season ( i.e. April or allay) Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will
definitely interfere with the 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 the 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 exerctsAW 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, filters 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 provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates.
The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients
or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 1850 lbs. of plant available
nitrogen per year in the sludge.
If you remove sludge every 5 years you will have approximately 9252 lbs. of PAN to utilize. Assuming
you apply this PAN to hybrid berrrudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 Ibs/acre you will need 31
acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 tbs. of nitrogen per acre you will need 74
acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estmates of the PAN and the land needed. Actual
requirements could vary by 25% depending on the 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
T & P Farms
Page 4
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 imigate the acres shown in tables.
Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan
invalid.

Subject: Sludge Compliance Requirement Change
Dear Permittee:
In accordance with Condition HI.19 of State General Permit AWG 100000, your facility is
required to maintain compliance regarding sludge accumulation in your animal waste treatment
lagoon(s). As you know, the previous compliance limit was to have a minimum of four (4) feet
of treatment depth between the designed stop pump and the average elevation of the top of the
sludge blanket. This requirement was based on NRCS Standard No. 359, which was recently
modified.
As of July 2008, Standard No. 359 does not use the 4-foot requirement. Sludge compliance is
now to be based on the sludge volume as a percentage of the total treatment volume. The revised
Standard states that sludge accumulation in the permanent treatment zone must be less than 50%
of the planned treatment volume. Also, there must be a minimum of 2.5 feet of liquid above the
sludge at the pump intake location. If either of these conditions is not met then sludge must be
removed or managed in accordance with an approved Plan of Action for Lagoon Sludge
Reduction (POA). A new sludge survey worksheet has been developed to calculate sludge and
treatment volumes to determine compliance.
Our records indicate that you have filed a Sludge POA for one or more of the lagoons at your
facility. Based on the changes to the sludge requirements in Standard No. 359, your lagoon(s)
may already be in compliance without any sludge removal. Using your lagoon design (or as -
built information) and current sludge survey measurements, complete the NEW sludge survey
worksheet. If you have any difficulty in locating or understanding your lagoon design
information, please contact your technical specialist or county Soil & Water office.

Wean to Finish: 0 Feeder to Finish: 5140 Boar/Stud: 0
Wean to Feeder: 0 Farrow to Wean: 0 Gilts: 0
Farrow to Finish: 0 Farrow to Feeder: 0
If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows.
Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows
may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009 and replaces the NPDES
COC issued to this facility with an expiration date of July 1, 2007. You are required to continue
conducting annual surveys of sludge accumulation in all lagoons at your facility; the one-year extension
in Condition 111.19 does not apply.
Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the
conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An
adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information
must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design
capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a
modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either
wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is
a package containing the new and revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please nay
careful attention to the record keeping and monitoring conditions_in this permit.

Your facility is currently approved for operation under one of the Animal Waste Operation NPDES General Permits, which expire on
July 1, 2007. Due to changes in federal rules, facilities that do not discharge nor propose to discharge may choose whether or not to
retain coverage under an NPDES General Permit. Copies of the draft animal waste operation NPDES general permits and the State
Non -Discharge General Permits are available at http://h2o.enr.state.ne.us/aias/afou/downloads.htTn or by writing or calling:

Telephone number: (919) 733-3221
In order to assure Your continued coverage under one of these two types of general permits, You must submit an ayl)lication for petmit
coverage to the Division. Enclosed you will find a `Request for Certificate of Coverage Facility Currently Covered by an Expiring
NPDES General Permit.' The application form must be completed and returned by January 2L2007. Please note, you must include
two (2) copies of your most recent Waste Utilization Plan with the application form.
Failure to request renewal of your coverage under a general permit within the time period specified may result in a civil penalty.
Operation of your facility without coverage under a valid general permit would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could
result in assessments of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
If you have any questions about the draft general permits, the enclosed application, or any related matter please feel free to contact the

depth. If microbe use is planned, specify the product to be used.
Quellz Products, Inc.
A product called Quellz from Quellz Products, Inc. will be used to reduce the sludge in my lagoon. This
product is an enzymatic solution that stimulates the natural bacteria in the lagoon being treated. The initial
treatment is based on the estimated volume of the lagoon at the time of treatment at a rate of 1:50,000, and
maintenance treatment is added based on the amount of waste generated on a per month basis at the same
rate. '

Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System
T&P Farms
Facility Number 82-205
Sampson County
A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal
Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only
the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any
acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your
plan.
An evaluation by Trent Allen on 7/9/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your facility
that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of the
following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X".
Category 1:
5 The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please
contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Trent Allen the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to Trent Allen, at 225 Green Street, Suite
714, Fayetteville, NC 28301, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any
questions please contact Trent Allen at (910) 486-1541. If within 90 days you are unable
to provide Trent Allen with the information you are automatically required to complete
a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2 below, within 180 days
of receipt of this letter.

Category 2:
❑ Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal
waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates
set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him
or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must
be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct
Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension
Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special
designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this
designation, or a Professional Engineer.
All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and
the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWO within the next
180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the
required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility
into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation,
and/or injunctive relief.
Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable
Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please
note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all
the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan
must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will
review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by
kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install
or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer
must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Sonya Avant of our
Central Office staff at (919) 733-5083 ext. 571.

I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specifications and the operation and
maintenance procedures estalished in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm
named above. I (we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste
treatment and/or storage system or construction of new facilities will require a new utilization
plan and a new certification to be submitted to DEM before the new animals are stocked.
I (we) understand that I must own or have acces to equipment, primarily irrigation equipment,
to land apply the animal waste described in this waste utilization plan. This equipment must
be available at the appropriate pumping time such that no discharge occurs from the lagoon
in a 25-year 1-day storm event. I also certify that the waste will be applied on the land
according to this plan at the appropriate times and at rates that no runoff occurs.

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface andfor 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 insect the w!'Ztc
in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and
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
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
6140 hogs X 2.3 lbs PANlhogslyear =11822 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.

required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter
areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in
the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables.
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 1901.8 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the
sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This fig4e' is PAN when
broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres bf 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 a: 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 180 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.
Call you technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper,t3tion rate prior to applying
the waste.

' 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
him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production
facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste
Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals,
method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic
crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for
other nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or
an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no
greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff
leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. (See
FOTG 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 animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated
on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the
waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to _
flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the 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 d�,:-n r7, drift frcrr,
the site during application. No ponding ccurin r_.rr!;-r
to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of app cation.
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.
Page 5 of 8
i 1. 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 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.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall
not be discharged into the animal waste management system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be
provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation.
Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where
considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms
and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge.
1 B. 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, pump ^'ln!ls otr. chni lid ha inenpe-tPH nn a r(mm dnr

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing, or running off site. You should not watt until wastes reach surface waters or
leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to
ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible location for
all employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should take.
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be
possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below.
A. Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are:
a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam.
b. Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B: Runoff from waste application field -actions include:
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
c. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that caused the runoff.

a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. %lake sure no siphon occurs.
d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid separators.
1 December 18, 1996
• 11 . - e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
E: Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to
flowing leaks- possible action:
a. Dig a small sump or ditch away from the embankment to catch ail seepage,
put in a submersible pump, and pump back to Iagoon.
b. If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill
holes and compact with a clay type soil.
c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and lagoon
bottom as soon as possible.
2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a. Did the waste reach any surface waters?
b. ApproximateIy how much was released and for what duration?
c. Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage?
d. Did the spill leave the property?
e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters?
f. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters?
g. Are potable water wells in danger (either on or off of the property)?
h. How much reached surface waters?
3: Contact appropriate agencies.
a. During normal business hours, call your DWQ (Division of Water Quality)
regional office; Phone - - . After hours, emergency number. 919-733-3942.
Your phone call should include: your name, facility, telephone number, the details
of the incident from item 2 above, the exact location of the facility, the location or
direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind conditions. The corrective
measures that have been under taken, and the seriousness of the situation.
b. If spill leaves property or enters surface waters, call local EMS Phone number -
