NORTH CAROLINA Department of Environmental W6 ggl ME R= vC .if.1'UWA5... NITROGEN ONLY &ANIMAL WASTE ONLY PLAN PRODUCER: Dark Branch Nursery -- Mary Jernigan LOCATION: Hwy 11; Kenansville, NC - Duplin County TELEPHONE: . 910-296-4804 TYPE OPERATION: Wean to Feeder Anaerobic lagoon NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 2,600 (Design Capacity) 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 the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. . Soil types are important as they have different Infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at. up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under NCDENR regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied 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 your 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. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional ; waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H. 0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

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). Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by 13 the landowner. Waste shall be applied_ in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 14 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by 15 discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not 1$ be discharged into the animal waste management system. Page 6 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced as necessary to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and. other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. 18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for'obtaining and implementing a "closure plan' which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19 ' Waste handling structures, piping pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site, Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumptlon.

In accordance with your application received on March 25, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Mary Jernigan Hasty, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS310861 which expired on April 307 2003. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management _-----of.animal.waste.from.the.Dark Hill.Farm, located in.Duplin County, with an animal.capacity..of_no greater—, than an annual average of 2600 Wean to Feeder swine and the application to land as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 1, 2004. Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals. If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed. The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property., N[.'t7ENER Non -Discharge Permitting Unit 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Customer Service Center An Equal Opportunity Action Employer Internet httpJ/h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ndpu Telephone (919) 733-5083 Fax (919)715-6048 Telephone 1-877-623-6748 50% recycled/110% post -consumer paper Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking of the facility.

UTILIZATION- PLAN PRODUCER: Dark Branch Nursery -- Mary Jernigan LOCATION: Hwy 11; Kenansville, NC -- Duplin County TELEPHONE: (910) 296 - 0098 TYPE OPERATION: Wean -- Feeder NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 2600 (Design Capacity) 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 the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage -requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Page 4 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 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. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste. he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation. increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed. the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons. but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass biter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strip). 5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. 8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. Page 5 - WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 9 Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10 Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients_ Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm"shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be r applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist'. Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that courses no runoff or drift from the site. 16 Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. Page 6 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 17 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. 18 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. 19 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 propellant with no further applications animal waste during the crop season. 20 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 21 Waste shall be tested within 69 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 22 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Tedder, Chairman Mary Jernigan Hasty Dark Branch Farm PO Box 893 Kenansville NC 28349 Subject: Classification of Animal Waste Management Systems Facility: Dark Branch Farm Facility ID #: 31-861 County: Duplin Dear Ms. Hasty: Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study Commission on Agricultural Waste, was enacted by the North Carolina General Assembly on June 21, 1996. This bill requires that a certified operator be designated as the Operator in Charge (01C) by January 1, 1997, for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more swine, 100 or more confined cattle, 75 or more horses, 1,000 or more sheep, or 30,000 or more confined poultry with a liquid animal waste management system. Our records indicate that your facility is registered with the Division of Water Quality and meets the requirements for designating an OIC. A training and certification program is available for animal waste management system operators. For information on the training programs please contact your local Cooperative Extension Agent. Operator certifications are issued by the Water Pollution Control Systems Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC). For information on the certification process, please contact the Technical Assistance and Certification Unit at (919) 733-0026. The type of training and certification required for the operator of each system is based on the nature of the wastes to be treated and the treatment process(es) primarily used to treat the animal waste. There are two types of animal waste management systems, type A and type B. Type A animal waste management systems are generally used to treat waste generated by monogastric animals which produce a low -fiber waste. Type B animal waste management systems are generally used to treat waste generated by ruminants and other animals which produce a high -fiber waste. The type of training and certification an operator receives should correspond with the type of system(s) they intend to operate. For more information on the classification of your system please contact the Technical Assistance and Certification Unit As the owner of an animal operation with an animal waste management system, you must designate an Operator in Charge and must submit the enclosed designation form to the WPCSOCC. If you do not intend to operate your animal waste management system yourself, you must designate an employee or engage a contract operator to be the Operator in Charge. The person designated as the Operator in Charge, whether yourself or another person, must possess a currently valid certificate of the appropriate type. Sincerely, Joseph B.

On Aug. 27, 1997 Governor Hunt signed into law the Clean Water Responsibility Act- The Clean Water Responsibility. Act included several changes to -the Swine Farm Siting Act (Siting Act) including the requirement that. all -set back :distances be -met for any swine lagoon or swine house for which construction commences on or after the effective date of the Clean Water Responsibility Act (Aug. 27, 1997). Before the Siting Act was amended it required the set back distances be met at the time the swine house or lagoon was sited.: The change. in -siting requirements may apply to your farm since construction may not have commenced by. • the effective date of the Clean Water Responsibility Act. Your farm was permitted prior to the effective date of the Clean Water. Responsibility Act; therefore, you meet one of the exceptions to the moratorium. However, the farm must be re-evaluated and, if necessary, re -designed to meet the new requirements of the Siting Act to remain covered under'the General Permit, Within 15 days of the date of this letter, you are requested to submit, notification to the Division of Water Quality whether the farm was under construction on or before Aug. 27, 1997. If the farm was not under construction on or before Aug. 27, 1997, then a revised Certified Animal Waste Management Plan must be submitted to reflect the new siting requirements. Construction not in compliance with the Siting Act is a violation of State Statutes and the General Permit.

Satisfactory disposition c will be made of all debris. The topsoil from the lagoon and pad area should be stripped' c� and stockpiled for use on the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area 4- of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior to placing , the first lift of fill material to get a good bond. _. . EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT t !r The completed excavation and earthfjll shall conform to the lines, grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen soil, stones over 6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent they are suitable, excavated material may be used as fill. The fill shall be brought up in approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9 inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading equipment or standard tamping roller or equivalent method. Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectable. NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials from the required excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height with an impoundment capacity of 10 acre—feet or more fall under the jurisdiction of the NC Dam Safety Law and require permitting by the NC Dept of Environment, Health and Natural Resources, Land Quality Section. The height is defined as the difference in elevation from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike. Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED CLAY LINER THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.6 FT. NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN INDICATED ON THE DRAWINGS OR WHEN MATERIAL IS ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION THAT WILL NOT PROVIDE THE PERMEABILITY LIMITS AS STATED LATER IN THIS SECTION. SUCH MATERIAL IS CONSIDERED UNSUITABLE WITH RESPECT TO LINING. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER IS INCLUDED IN THE DRAWINGS WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED. Murphy Family Farms Engineering P.O. Box 759, Rose Hill NC 28458 (910) 289-2111 GROWER: MARY JERNIGAN HASTY FARM DESIGNED BY: JJD ADDRESS: P.O. BOX 893 CHECKED BY: JST KENANSVILLE, NC 28349 DATE: 07/18/97 COUNTY: DUPLIN SHEET 2 OF 3 When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be overexcavated below finish grade to the specified depth as measured perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall be backfilled as specified to grade with a material approved by the engineer or his representative. REFER TO THE DRAWINGS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS. Soil liner material shall come from an approved borrow area. The minimum moisture content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture content which relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneaded in the hand it will form a ball which does not readily separate. Water shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture content during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner material shall not be less than optimum moisture content during placement. The maximum moisture content relates to the soil material being too wet for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Proper compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and compacted to at least 95 percent of the Standard Proctor Maximum Dry Density (ASTM D698) of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous lift shall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement of the next lift. The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted permeability of a clay liner, other than the type of clay used for the liner, is the efficient construction processing of the compacted liner. The sequence of equipment in an established pattern helps assure uniformity in the entire placement and compaction process. For most clay soils, a tamping or sheepsfoot roller is the preferred type of compaction equipment. In accordance with NRCS South National Technical Center (SNTC) Technical Note 716 (revised September 1993) the maximum allowable specific discharge of the liner is 1.0 x 10-5 cm/sec. This specific discharge is dependant on the permeability of the liner material, the liner thickness, and the hydrostatic pressure on the liner. With the minimum required liner thickness stated earlier and the maximum liquid depth in the lagoon, the maximum permeability of the compacted liner is 1.25 x 10-6cm/sec. Upon completion of the liner, undisturbed samples will be taken and tested for actual permeability. Any permeability tests indicating a higher permeability than stated above will be considered as failing. Failing tests will require recompaction of the liner material and retesting. For lagoons being built in soils which do not require clay lining the same permeability requirements apply as for clay liners and testing of the in —situ material will be conducted. During the excavation process, soils at the excavated surface are loosened as adjacent material is being removed. As a result, the permeability of these surface soils is increased. To insure proper compaction and minimum soil permeability, when lagoon excavation is complete the inner side slopes and bottom shall be rolled thoroughly prior to testing.

BOX 893 KENANSVILLE, NC 26349 JVVII.IIVV V I • VVV CHECKED BY: JST DATE: 07/18/97 SHEET 3 OF 3 The soil liner shall be protected from scour produced by the discharge from waste outlet pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator: concrete flumes, concrete blocks laid tightly together, or using flexible pipe outlets on waste pipes. Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant. When these are specified, additional construction specifications are included with this Construction Specification or are shown on the drawings. CUTOFF TRENCH: A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when called for in the notes on the drawings or as shown on atypical cross section on the drawings. The final dimensions of the cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation materials during construction. VEGETATION: All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construction according to the seeding specifications. Topsoil, if available on site should be placed on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch shall be used if recommended permanent vegetation is out of season dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should be established as soon as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates. REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS: An observation trench shall be dug along the perimeter of the lagoon 25 feet outside the proposed embankment toe to verify that no subsurface drain the lines are present in the lagoon area. The trench shall be dug to a minimum depth of five feet and shall have a width adequate to accommodate equipment used for backfill and compaction. Trench side slopes shall be 1:1 or flatter. Trench backfill shall be compacted as stated in the EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT section of the specification. When tile drains are encountered, the tile will be removed to a minimum of 25 feet beyond the outside toe of slope of the dike. The tile trench shall be backfilled and compacted with material approved by the engineer or his representative. Tile drains that are removed shall be either capped off or rerouted around the lagoon, as directed by the engineer or his representative. SAFETY AND HEALTH REQUIREMENTS: All operations shall be carried out in a safe, skillful, and workmanlike manner. All safety and health regulations shall be observed and appropriate personal safety and health measures used at all times during construction. Murphy Family Farms Engineerntg P.O.

Box 759, Rose Hill NC 26458 (910) 289-2111 ADDRESS: P.O. BOX 893 KENANSVILLE, NC 28349 COUNTY: DUPLIN CHECKED BY: DATE: SHEET OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and 180 days of" temporary storage. The time required for the planned fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. .1ST E The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days of temporary storage for: (1) manure production of animals, (2) excess fresh water storage, (3) rainfall in excess of evaporation, (4) storage for the 25 year / 24 hour storm for the location, (5) and, if applicable, an additional "heavy rain" storage volume for chronic rainfall events. Allocation for any additional fresh water usage is also included in the temporary storage. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available. 07/18/97 A staff gauge must be installed in the lagoon that indicates the start pumping and stop pumping levels. The start pumping level is the maxium liquid level under normal operating conditions. The stop pumping level is the minimum liquid level under normal operation to maintain required treatment volume and depth. Pumping can be started and stopped anywhere between these two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without runoff or leaching. However, it is recommended that the lagoon be kept pumped down as much as possible. Land application of wastewater is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling guns. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out: �1 1. It is required that the treatment lagoon be precharged to.one—half the treatent volume or as otherwise specified on the lagoon design drawings before wastes are introduced. The purpose is to prevent excessive odors during start—up. Precharging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors.

Using this outline as guidance, you should develop a specific emergency action plan for your waste handling system.. This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your 5 operation are leaking, overflowing, or running off the site. You should NOT wait until wastes 1 reach surface water or leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should r make every effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be available to all employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and breaks could happen at any time. Your plan should follow this format: c. 1. ' Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested responses to problems are listed below: A. Lagoon overflow —possible solutions are: add soil to berm to temporarily increase elevation of dam —any permanent alteration of the dam should be approved by a qualified professional engineer or qualified technical specialist pump wastes to field at an acceptable rate stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waters) --hold waste in house if possible call a pumping contractor make sure no surface water is entering lagoon NOTE: The above listed activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the temporary storage level B. Runoff from waste application field —actions include: immediately stop waste application create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field incorporate waste to reduce further runoff C. Leakage from the waste distribution system: pipes and sprinklers —actions include: stop recycle (flushing system) pump stop irrigation pump close valves to eliminate further discharge separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow flush system, houses, solids separators —actions include: -- stop recycle (flushing system) pump — stop irrigation pump -- make sure no siphon effect has been created — separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow D. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often these are seepage as opposed to flowing leaks —possible action*: dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage put in a submersible pump, and pump back into lagoon if holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a clayey soil other holes maybe likewise temporar�ugged with clay soil Murphy Family Farms Engineering P.O.

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 femilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop., can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year_ With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per 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 resuk in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analvsis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission_ ..•w......�.......... ^;wG';'G:::::::tin':.:."�v�'::::�:�vt..,....,.............'v:G.-a:..�'Y::::an::+`��.......w........wr�..`V::,.r..::`.:e:::::-t,:.it�i4i<:.i2:.:�:`w.}': <s..�..........i...�-...i.

Some epoxy coated fittings include stacks and hydrants as an integral part of the fitting. Occasionally it may be necessary to connect PVC plastic pipe to steel or CA pipe. This connection can be made with a coupling called a transition or repair coupling. In -line valves can be supplied with connections to gasket pipe. Thrust blocking is required for gasket pipe. Most thrust blocks will be concrete.. Manufacturers recommended thrust blocks at any change in direction greater than 100.

In placing concrete thrust blocks, check with the -'manufacturer -of the pipe being used to ensure that the correct size thrust blocks are being used. There are a number of machines that can be used to prepare the trench for PVC plastic pipe. Soil types, moisture content, depth of trench required and type and diameter of pipe must be considered. Generally chain trenches, wheel trenches,-backhoes-, or vibrating plows will be used for trench preparation. The vibrating plow can only be used for solvent weld PVC pipe and generally is limited to the smaller diameter of pipe. Under most conditions the chain trencher or wheel trencher will be faster than the backhoe. Where wide trenches for large pipe are required, the backhoe will be most satisfactory. If soil conditions permit, long stretches of open trench will expedite pipe installation. However, if rain is forecast the pipe should be installed and the trench backfilled_ To avoid sharp turns in the line at obstructions, trenches should be curved within limits of curvature of the pipe. -7-- State of North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources Wilmington Regional Office James B. Hunt, Jr., Governor Division of Environmental Management Bob Jamieson Jonathan B. Howes, Secretary Water Quality Section Regional Manager SEPTEMBER 20, 1994 Mr. Gary Scalf Murphy Farms, Inc. Post Office Box 759 Rose Hill, North Carolina 28458 Subject: Water Quality Complaint Investigation Dark Branch Pond Duplin County Dear Mr. Scalf: This letter is to inform Murphy Farms about a water quality complaint investigation performed on September 13 & 16, 1994 by Division staff. The writer responded to a water quality complaint concerning a man-made pond located along NC Highway 11 a few miles north of Kenansville, as shown on the enclosed visual aid. The pond contained dense accumulations of a blue-green algae known as Anacystis cyanea. This algae blooms in water temperatures of 15 to 30' C and in conditions of stagnant water receiving nutrients ( such as nitrate, ammonia, and especially phosphorus). The investigation was performed to determine the cause of the algal bloom by performing a land survey in the area of the pond. There were several observations made concerning nutrient discharges to the pond. The pond receives drainage from farm fields presently planted with coastal bermuda. A small, independent swine farming operation is located immediately adjacent to the pond's west shore (lagoons are approximately 100 feet from the pond). In addition, the Murphy/BAT swine farming operation is located upstream of this pond. The exact cause of the pond upset is not presently known. However, the writer did see the potential for stream degradation upon inspection of the BAT operation. The spray irrigation gun was noticed to spray into, and over, a swale that drains the farm yard adjacent to the swine houses. A picture is enclosed. Calvin, the facility contact, indicated that there was a pasture crop in the early growth stage. We also witnessed run -of f due to the sparse vegetation and long duration spray rotations of the spray gun equipment. This run-off went into the drainage swale. We witnessed ponding of irrigation wastewater adjacent to an earthen berm within one area of the spray field closest to the entry road. We observed a wet area in the road next to the ponded area of the field. 127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, N.C. 28405-3845 0 Telephone 910-395-3900 9 Fax 910-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer Mr. Gary Scalf September 20, 1994 Page Two The Dark Branch drains the ridge where the Murphy/BAT swine farming operation is located, as can be observed from the visual aid. The drainage ditch which was sprayed over, and into, is not a perennial stream and water quality samples within the unnamed headwaters of Dark Branch were not taken. This letter is not a violation notice. However, in addition to informing the pond owners of the possible nutrient pathways leading into the pond, I wanted to alert Murphy Farms personnel of the poor water quality within the downstream pond. Cooperation from the Murphy/BAT operation in regard to runoff abatement will be greatly appreciated. For example, not spraying into a drainage swale designed to remove stormwater from the facility, reducing the instantaneous spray rate over the early pasture crop, discontinuing spraying operations upon observations of runoff or ponding, and keeping the spray irrigation activities within the field. The algae in Dark Branch Pond can be toxic if it contains acute amounts of hepatotoxic cyanobacteria. Species including horses, cattle, sheep, dogs, swine, and waterfowl are susceptible to poisoning from the ingestion of the toxic bacteria. The pond does not have good water exchange because it is close to the headwaters of the drainage basin. Preliminary testing did indicate that the pond water pH was 9.4 and the dissolved oxygen was zero in the lower segments of the pond (pretty bad water quality) . The pond owners have been advised of potential nutrient passageways into the pond. The cooperation of the Murphy/BAT operations staff in regard to potential runoff abatement procedures will be greatly appreciated.

THE LINER MATERIAL SHALL BE THOROUGHLY AND UNIFORMLY COMPACTED SUCH THAT THE PERMEABILITY AFTER PLACEMENT SHALL NOT EXCEED 1.25 X 10--6 CM/SEC. UNDISTURBED CORE SAMPLES OF THE LINER MATERIAL WILL BE TAKEN AFTER COMPLETION AND WILL BE LAB TESTED TO CONFIRM THE PERMEABILITY. THE MURPHY FARMS ENGINEERING DEPT. MUST APPROVE LINER MATERIAL PRIOR TO PLACEMENT. SEE LINER / DIKE CROSS SECTION DETAIL ON SHEET 2. 4. THE LAGOON IS BEING PLACED IN A WET AREA NTH THE WATER TABLE BEING WITHIN THE EXCAVATED DEPTH. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE CONTRACTOR INSTALL DRAINAGE MEASURES AT THE START OF THE PROJECT AND MAINTAIN THEM UNTIL ALL LAGOON GRADING AND LINING IS COMPLETED. 5. THE LAGOON SHALL BE PRECHARGED WITH WATER TO AT LEAST 1/2 THE TREATMENT ZONE DEPTH AS SOON AS THE LINER IS COMPLETE AND HAS BEEN TESTED. THIS IS IMPORTANT TO HELP REDUCE START-UP ODORS AND TO GUARD AGAINST SLOUGHING OF THE LINER MATERIAL 6. ALL FILL MATERIAL PLACED ON THE BUILDING PAD AND LAGOON DIKES SHALL BE COMPACTED TO 95% OF THE STANDARD PROCTOR MAXIMUM DRY DENSITY. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT COMPACTION BE DONE WITH A SHEEPSFOOT ROLLER. 7. BUILDING PAD ELEVATIONS SHOWN ON THIS PLAN REPRESENT BLDG. SLAB SUBGRADE. SEE PAD CROSS SECTIONS FOR GRADE REFERENCE POINT, 8. BUILDING PAD AND LAGOON DIKE SIDE SLOPES ARE 3:1 UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED ON PLAN. 9. ANY WATER SUPPLY WELLS PLACED ON THE SITE MUST BE A MINIMUM OF 100' FROM THE CLOSEST POINT OF THE LAGOON. 10. THE FOLLOWING ITEMS SHALL BE DONE WITH REGARDS TO THE LAGOON CONSTRUCTION BEFORE THE FACILITY IS CERTIFIED: LAGOON DIKES FERTILIZED, SEEDED AND MULCHED INSIDE AND OUT; APPROVED SCOUR PROTECTION DEVICES INSTALLED AT THE DISCHARGE PIPES, THE STAFF GAUGE INSTALLED. 11. BEFORE BEGINNING EXCAVATION AN OBSERVATION TRENCH SHALL BE DUG AROUND THE LAGOON AS SHOWN TO DETERMINE WHETHER DRAIN TILE IS PRLSEN T IN THE LAGOON AREA. THE TRENCH SHALL BE A MINIMUM OF 5 FEET DEEP AND 4 FEET WIDE AND SHALL BE 25' OUTSIDE THE TOE OF THE LAGOON. IF ANY DRAIN TILE IS FOUND IT SHALL BE REMOVED COMPLETELY FROM THE LAGOON AREA. OUTSIDE THE TRENCH THE TILE SHALL BE EITHER CAPPED OFF OR REROUTED AROUND THE LAGOON AS DIRECTED BY THE ENGINEER. 12. THE, EROSION CONTROL MEASURES SHOWN ON THIS PLAN ARE INTENDED AS A GUIDE. THE EROSION AND SEDIMENTATION CONTROL REGULATIONS IN NORTH CAROLINA ARE PERFORMANCE BASED AND ADDITIONAL MEASURES MAY BE REQUIRED TO PREVENT SEDIMENT FROM LEAVING THE SITE.
