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.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1 Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application.
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an
agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer
does not'own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of
an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the
use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to
secure an update of_ the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation,
increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop
yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level
of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other
nutrients.
4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste
may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per
year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG
Standard 393 - Filter Strip). .
5 Odofs 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.
B When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated
on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland,
the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season
prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.)
7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff
does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies.
8 ' Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.

(continued)
9 Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is
not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage
from animal waste should also be considered.
10 Waste nutrients shall not be'applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a
high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a
minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste
shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking
dormancy.
11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following:
The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a
component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary
and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal
waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be
applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landowner.
14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right -,of -ways.
15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands
provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist".
Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water
courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a
manner that 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.

Duplin County
Dear Vance Basden:
On April 28, 2003, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the
Division of Water Quality (Division) to extend the expiration date -of the Swine Waste Operation General
Permit AWG100000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the
expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with
all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit.
In accordance with your application received on January 22, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of
Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Vance
Basden, 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
supersedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS310862 which expired on April 30, 2003.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal -waste from -the Vance J. Basden -Farm,.located -in.DuplinCounty, -with an animal capacity of no
greater than an annual average of 2392 Feeder to Finish swine and the application to land as specified in
the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or
Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary,
they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts. at a
rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until 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. Wk

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified 'rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or
groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops
in the fields where the waste is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil
tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be
balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization
plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to
ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be -grown
and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more

3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less 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
result in runoff to 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 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 this
plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the
same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant
analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied.
Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible
so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and 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.

AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
2392 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 5501.6 lbs. 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 surface application.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields 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 885.04 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 4425.2
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid
bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 14.7506666667 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 35.4016 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application
methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This
rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil
texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount
should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the
time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed
the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure
that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
Page: 6

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.

assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over
applied. In many situations, the application amount shown cannot
be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil
conditions.
Your facility is designed for 180.00 days of temporary storage and
the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every
6.00 months. In no instance 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 waste applicator to
ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the
correct rates to 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 your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis
report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and
the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by
runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or
direct discharge during operation or land application. Any
discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the
producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate
land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does
not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall
provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a
reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for
waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the
facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when
there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of
animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the
nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type,
available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict
the rate of application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons
per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding
at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year
providing grass filter 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.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil
infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to
surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from
the site during application. No ponding should occur in order
to control odor or flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
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.
Page: 9
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for
spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for
leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be
held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to
take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more
than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking
dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall
comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area
onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of
a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential
property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other
than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than
swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995),
shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters.
(See standard 393 - Filter Strips).
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to
wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of
dwellings other than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property
and public right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters,
drainageways, or wetlands by a 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 discharges directly into water courses,
and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at
agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from
the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities,
showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the
animal waste management system.
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

18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or
terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and
implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should
be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks,
and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on
site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables
and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if
animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it
should only be applied preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and
bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of -

Dear Mr. Basden:
I am writing this letter in order to get you to address several items which I recently noted during a
November 6, 2001 inspection at your facility. Please address the following:
1) It appears that the sprayfield area for pull 1 had been sprayed on or was being prepared
to be sprayed on from the hydrant which is supposed to only be used to make pull 2
according to the wettable acres design. You need to ensure that land application is
performed in accordance with the wettable acres design. The wettable acres design has
been prepared for you to aid you in ensuring that animal waste is applied at agronomic
rates. Furthermore, the wettable acres design is part of your Certified Animal Waste
Management Plan (CAWMP) and it must be followed.
2) It appears that a small pond may be in the application area for pull 2. You need to
consult with your technical specialist to determine if the pond is indeed within the
application area for pull 2 as shown in the wettable acres design. The pond cannot be
part of the application area as this could result in a discharge to surface waters and
waters of the State which are prohibited by condition I(1) of the General Permit and
General Statute 143-215.1, respectively. Therefore, if the pond is determined to be in the
application area, you and your technical specialist need to make any necessary
adjustments:
3) You and your technical specialist should evaluate pull 4 and its stand of bermuda
particularly in that area near and on the back side of the lagoon. It has been unusually
dry over the past few weeks and during the inspection this area appeared to be wet and
appeared to need the stand of bermuda improved; fescue was mostly present.

A determination should be made as to whether this area should continue to be part of the
sprayfield as it appears to be wet even during this particularly dry period. Also, the
bermuda crop needs to be improved in the referenced area if it is to remain in bermuda.
Any necessary modifications should be made with respect to this part and in accordance
with condition H(1) of the General Permit.
4) On the IRR-2's, a waste analysis value from a waste analysis report which fell outside of
the 60 day allowance had been used on some application events. Be sure to use a waste
analysis report representative of a waste sample taken within 60 days of the date of
application events for calculating the amount of nutrients applied. This is to be done in
accordance with conditions IR(4 and 5) of the General Permit.
5) Some of the dates for application events shown on the IRR-2's were incorrect. Mr.
Welch made changes to the dates during the inspection. Be sure that the records are
properly maintained in accordance with condition M(5) of the General Permit.
6) You need to have the insect control, odor control, and mortality management checklists
available for inspection as required by condition I(4) of the General Permit.
Please submit a Plan of Action which addresses the above noted items. The Plan of Action should
include a list of any and all modifications that have been and will be implemented to address the noted
items along with a timetable for completion of the modifications. The written Plan of Action must be
submitted to this office within ten (10) days of receipt of this notice.
Be advised that violations of the CAWMP, the General Permit, and General Statute 143-215.1 may result
in the Division of Water Quality issuing notice of violation letters, civil penalties, injunctive relief,
permit revocation, and the like.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to call me at 910-395-

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 Dean Hunkele on 8/24/99 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". —

Dear Mr. Basden:
This is to notify Mr. Vance Basden, who holds a non -discharge permit for an animal waste disposal
system pu suant to 15A NCAC 2H .0200 and Nor h Caron r!a G.5.143.215.1, of deficiencies of Animal V,/rasie
Permit AWS 310862.
On June 22, 2000, 1 inspected your animal operation and the animal waste management system
serving this operation. The following deficiencies were noted during the inspection:
1, P!; ver,Crop. Needs I:nprove>ti-t-_r;t
During the inspection it was observed that your cover crops need improvement. Specifically, the fescue field
is a mixture of fescue, bermuda, weeds, and volunteer grasses. This field should be planted to establish one
primary crop at the best time for establishment. I would suggest looking into Tiffton 44 hybrid coastal
bermuda, if this is going to be your plan -for this field.
For all crops, especially grassed pastures or hay fields, soil pH must be maintained for the proper health of
the crop and uptake of nutrients from application. Lime must be applied according to the rate indicated on
your annual soil analysis when the amount is equal to or greater than 1.0 ton/acre. In no instance, should
more than 2.0 tons/acre be applied during any year. It takes approximately 4=6 months for lime to work
throughout the root zone; thus lime should be applied at the appropriate time to benefit the crop for the next
growing season.

Grassed fields must be harvested to avoid disease, control weed growth, and remove applied nutrients.
Bermuda fields should be cut for hay at a height of 16-20 inches and soil pH maintained at 6-6.5. Fescue
fields should be cut for hay in April and again in October/November.
Pastures may need to be cut for hay periodically if grazing herd cannot keep up with growth or mowed
periodically for control of weeds. Herbicide may need to be applied periodically for control of broadleaf
weeds or volunteer grasses. Grassed fields may need to be re -sprigged or re -seeded periodically in. areas
to maintain an adequate cover.
2. Failure To Have Components of CAWMP
During the inspection it was observed that you failed to have the following components of your certified
animal waste management plan: Lagoon Design
Checklists; Lagoon Designs, Irrigation Design, Site Maps — A copy of odor/mortality/pest control checklists,
lagoon design(s), irrigation design/layout, and site aerial maps/photos of all spray fields listed in waste
utilization plan are required to be on -site as part of your certified animal waste management plan.
3. Record Keeping
During the inspection it was observed the following problems with record keeping at your facility:
Irrigation Records -- Daily spraying activities should be recorded on IRRA forms and must be used when
using computer generated IRR-2 forms. Nitrogen balances should be maintained on separate forms (IRR-2)
for each crop cycle based on the certified waste utilization plan. Records can be kept by field if spray zone
or pull irrigated is indicated in margins or on IRR-1 forms. Ideally records should be kept by spray pull or
zone with acreage shown on IRR-2 forms as that covered by the pull or zone. Facilities with irrigation
designs or layouts should follow them rising the appropriate acreage assigned to each routine. Nitrag n
balances should be updated at !east MCRthly, but more frequently for low PAN crops or when balances are
approaching PAN limits to avoid over -application.
Waste Analyses — A dated waste analysis report for each lagoon that irrigation occurs from is required within
60 days of any irrigation event. For example, waste report is dated March st, then applications can be made
until May 1st or backwards to January 1st. Waste can be applied prior to having an updated report such as
Fs.j on Fe!'�':•a- +a ants u i-qg t :? PF+iv �,.�4erj �:n n repwt'on ,Marc. `ist of a ;,?.a,t taken Fe", uky 20.
However, the grower is cautioned against applying too often without knu ing the nitrogen content of the
lagoon on low PAN crops (like overseeds) or when nitrogen balance (PAN) is nearly used up for a crop to
avoid over -application. It is highly recommended that samples betaken every 90 days (3 months) beginning
in January to always have a valid sample report. This also allows for a 30-day period of report overlap where
the grower can use the lowest PAN value of the two reports on the IRR-2 nitrogen balance records.
Soil Samples -- A dated soil sample report for each spray field in the waste utilization plan is required once
per calendar year (annually). Fields greater than 10 acres should be broken up into smaller fields for
sampling purposes to obtain the most useful information. It is highly recommended that samples for pastures
and hay fields be taken during the summer to obtain a report' in a timely manner. Grower is cautioned
against waiting past November 1st because report may not be dated and returned by the end of the year.
It is recommended that a separate soil sample be taken from areas where cover crops are struggling to be
maintained; indicate this is from a problem area on -the paperwork for a more thorough soil analysis to be
completed to find possible source of a problem. These samples are at no cost to the grower other than
shipping.

As I indicated during the inspection, this facility was flagged last year for a mandatory wetted
acres determination to show that you can effectively irrigate all of the acreage included in your certified
animal waste management plan. At some point, you will receive a letter from Raleigh requiring this to be
done within 6 months including modification of the current irrigation system, addition of more land or
equipment, etc. An updated waste plan based on this new irrigation design or layout will still have to
generate a nitrogen deficit for the farm. I urge you to begin evaluating your situation to know where you
stand and what will have to be.done to comply. Combining your two farms under one waste
management system through a common irrigation system may give you the greatest flexibility and may
;want to be explored. Cost share money is available for some of the things you may have to do, thus it
may be prudent to begin the process.
To correct these deficiencies, please submit a detailed Plan of Action to the Wilmington
Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality that describes the actions to be taken to address these
deficiencies of Animal Waste Permit AWS 310862.
The proposed written plan of action must be received by this office within fifteen (15) working
days of the receipt of this notice. Upon approval and implementation of the plan, you must notify this
office when the corrective actions are complete. Contact your Service Company, county Soil & Water
district office, or county extension office for any assistance they may be able to provide.
If the deficiencies are not corrected, the Division of Water Quality may issue a Notice of
Violation and pursue additional actions including civil penalties, injunctive relief, or revocation of your
Animal Waste Permit AWS 310862.
If you have any questions concerning this matter please do not hesitate to contact either Mr.
Stonewall Mathis or myself at (910) 395-3900.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 31-862
Duplin County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRRI, IRR2, DRY], DRY2, DRY3, SLUR], SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
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 Ms. Sonya Avant of the

APPLICATION METHOD: irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or
groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops
in the fields where the waste is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil
tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be
balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization
plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to
ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the cropito..be grown
and the nutrient content of, the waste. Do not .apply more
nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, * cation exchange capacities -,--and
available water holding capacities. ?
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less 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 f"ilt'er_``" <'
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
result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWQ regulations.
Page: I
z. ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
5. wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production
and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should
be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30
days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If
you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the
same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant
analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied.
Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible
so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and 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.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
2392 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 4544.8 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
2392 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 5501.6 lbs. 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.

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 toa 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 maturity-, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too
high and this will definitely interfere with -stand of
bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced
yields and .less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than
cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as
is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the'small
grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting"hay.,or
silage two to three times during the season, depending on
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, -is late
September or early October. Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a
height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields 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 periodicland
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 885.04 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 4425.2
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid
bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of. nitrogen per acre, you
will need 14.7506666667 acres of land. If you,apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 35.4016 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25t depending on your
sludge waste, analysis, soil -types, realistic yields,., and application
methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE -BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. -This
rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil
texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application- amount
should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil -at the
time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen appl-ied exceed
the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure
that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
Page: 6

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by
runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or
direct discharge during operation or land application. Any
discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the
producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate
land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does
not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall
provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a
reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for
waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the
facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when
there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of
animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3.' Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the
nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type,
available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict
the rate of application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons
per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding
at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year
providing grass filter 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.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil
infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to
surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift.from
the site during application. No ponding should occur in order
to control odor or flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
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.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for
spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for
leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be
held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to
take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more
than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking
dormancy. .
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall
comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area
onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of
a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential
property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other
than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than
swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995),
shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters.
(See Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to
wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of
dwellings other than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property
and public right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters,
drainageways, or wetlands by a 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 discharges 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.
15. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities,
showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the
animal waste management system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be
established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms,
pipe runs, etc.). Areas 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.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or
terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and
implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should
be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks,
and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on
site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables
and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if
animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it
should only be applied preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and
bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of
all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to
maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will
be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste
storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil
shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste
products are applied. Nitrogen shall -be the rate - determining
element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be
monitored and alternative crop sites shall.be used when these
metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste
analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry
waste application records shall be maintained for three -(3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste -shall be
maintained for five (5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North
Carolina -regulations. a

SUBJECT: Crop Management Practices for Select Forages
Used in Waste Management .
The following is a four -page surrmwy of suggestions for niariaGemem practices for some
forage crops that can be used in -vaste managerem plans. These. suggestions are a result of
discussions %N;I(hin the NC State University Forage Production Workgroup, a group comprised
ofNIC State faculty and NRCS agency personnel with expertise with the crops.
There are limited documented research responses of some of thc-se practices on the many soils
and environments where these crops are currently being grown_ The Forage Production
Workgroup has taken the available data and used the combined experiences and realistic
estimates of key people to come up ,yith suggestions that will allow farmers to. incorporate
These ; crops and practices into -waste management plans:.' As data. become available to
:substantiate or refute these ;suggestions, the Forage Production Workgroup. will. make
appropriate changes. : .

subsequent bermuda crop are based on reaEstic }Melds of bermuda. A harvest is required prior
to heading or A-pril 7, wfh ch ever comes first. This is necessary to minimizc the potential for
shading bermuda and reducing its yields. The l'_4\ rate for grazed systems with bermuda
overseeded with cereal rye rriust be reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical
Staxndard #590.
Annual Ryegrass
Annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter
growth. The most. consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short. (less than 3
inches tall) bermu,dagrass sod. If drilling is not possible. the seeds may be broadcast on shoe
bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate
for broadcast pl,"intirg of seeds should be I.S tunes the rate for drilled_ seeds. The last

(Design Capacity)
The waste from your animal facility rtmst be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should
b e 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 soU tests are
szrongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic :,fields of the
crop to be Drown.
Several factors are inmonant in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to
r=d-ra e the fert;3izer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an
en-v zonmentaUy safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
gror.,-a 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. Nonnally
wale shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With
special precautions, waste may be applied to laud 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
froz-n. 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 wee 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 analysts
rep ort froia. your waste management facility. Attached you gill find information on
prop er sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for
are alvsis_
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A

COMMENTS: The lagoon has been designed egular shape.
Actual contour areas taken from the lagoon design are used to calculate
the surface area and storage volume characteristics of the lagoon.
This approach insures that rainfall capture on the lagoon is fully
accounted for and that storage volumes calculated represent actual
conditions regardless of the shape.

WATER QUALITY SECTION
System Calibration
'DEC- 1 4 Eye;;
Non -Discharge Permung
Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation
conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates
change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular,
pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use,
nozzle wear results in art increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the
discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter.
You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed irT the
design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the
application uniformity. For example, operating the- system with excessive pressure-
results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates: wear of the -
sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase-. Plugged:
intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure_ Operating
below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application
uniformity.
For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to
ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every
three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at
several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to
collect "low and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because
they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount
without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets,
jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used. provided
the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring.
For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly
throughocr the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For :raveling
guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direr ion
of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet aparr along the transect on both
sides of the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate For all
nonuniformity of the application. On a windless- day, variation between containers
of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation
deafer or technical specialist for assistance.
'Reprinted for Carthieation Training for Operations of Animal Waste Management Systems Manual
OPERATION & ANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round pziorry. It is especially
important to rage Ievels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and
wetperiods.
Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the:
reavi - c= is dormant (such as wintertime for bermudaggrass) or when there are
ex=ded any spells such as the taund--storm season in the sur'►omiime.. This means
.that at the iirs signs of plant growth in the In winterleariy spring irrigation ac=dnngtra
a. farm waste management plan should be done: whenever the land is dry enough to
receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for An= wet
periods_ In the latz. su amerfeariy fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the Ion:
manor- (see Figure 2-I) to allow for winter- storage_ Every ezrozr should be made to
nuz5zafrr the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as -Ion- as the weather and waste
utili=ion Dian will allow it
Waitin- until the lagoon has reached its maximunT storage capacdry before starring to
irrigate does not leave room for storing a :crss warm- durzng exttennded wet periods_ _
Ovezfiow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25 year, 24-hour storm is a violation of
stag law and subject to penalty action.
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the lollowinc:
YLintenancr or avea=:ive cover for the dz-rn.
3escue or common bermudaga-ass are the most common vegetative
rovers. The vege=on should be f_-dlized each year, if-nerded, to
m intain a viPorot_s stand. The amount or re-` t=T applied should be
based on a sails test, but in the event than it is nor _vracricai to obtain
a. soils test each year, the lagoon ernbanlrinent and surnunding areas
should be fe,-diized with 800 pounds per acre of ? 0-? 0-10, or
ec uivalent.
3rush and trees on the e nrbanl :rent must be controlled. This may be
done by mowin-, straying, grazing, chopping, or a combination or
th sr practices. Iris should be done at least once a year and
possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favora.ble for
heavy vegetative growth.
NOTE If vegetation is controlled by straying, the herbicide must not be allowed to e=
the lagoon warem Such chemicals could harm the bac*a in the Loon that areCr
the waste.
Mainte<.an insttions or the entire IaQoon should be roe dozing the initial fillingor.
the - lagoon and at least monthly and arse: maiorrainfall and storm events. Items to be,
ch=3md should include, as a minimum, t`ie following -
Waste Irdet Pines, Rervcag Pipes, and Over -flow Pipes —look for.
L separation or joints
Z- crate or breaks
S. acc �imuiation or salts or mineas
a. overall condition of bites
Lagoon surface —look for:
i. undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
Embaakment look for.
I. settlement, cracldng, or "jug" holes
2. side slope stability —slumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodent damage
La Ter lagw s may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong
winds_ These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam_
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage cursed by wave action- If
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles irr the.lagmay
ay be
used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weak=-dng of the darn- If your lagoon has
any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and
construction of waste Iagoons_ You may need to provide a temporary rary -fix if there is a threat
of a waste discharge. However, a peananent solution should be reviewed by the
technical e,.es--t. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
undermidna- with notendalzy serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate techrdcal expert.
Transfer Pumps heck for proper operation of:
1. recvchng pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Chi for Ins, loose fittings, and overall pump operaxion. An unusually loud or grinding
noise, or a la.�e amount of vibmdon, may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or
replacement_
NOTE_ Pumrling systems should be inspected and operated.&Nuentiy enough so that you.
are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your -pumping
system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some
safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not.the time
to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your -lagoon is full,
your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider rnaintainingan inventory of spare
parts or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets,
and parldng lot runofr) away from your lagoon and other waste
treatment orstorage structures. The only water that should be
conning from your -lagoon is that which comes from your -flushing
(washing) system pipes and the. rainfall that huts the lagoon- directly.
You should inspect your diversion system for the following:
h , adequate- vegetation
2 diversion capacity
3. ridge be_m height
Ideatif ed problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts_
You should record the Ievel of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This wiU
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall Mount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the
lagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoon- Operation
Startup:
1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon desim treatment volume at least half full of water before
waste loading berms, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
�. Drainoines into the l.aaoon should have a flexible Dice extender on the
end or the pipe to disc large near the bottom of the lagoon during initial
fiiine or another aP,.ans of slowing the incoming water to avoid =Sion of
the lining.
4. When possible, bem_.n loading new lagoons in the staring to maAmize
bacterial estabiishmeat (due to warmer weather).
5. It is recommended tha: a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full.lagoaa
licuid volume. T"ais seeding should oc :our az least two weeks prior to the
addition of wastewa*.e--.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid Dr. If the pH falls bellow
7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of I pound per 1000 cubic feet of
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid.
DH is between 7.5 and 8.0.
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate
biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended
if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the %=
season.
The more frequently and regulariv that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the
lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are
optimum for t---atment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained.
and recharged each day, also work weft.
Practice water conser vadon--minimize building water usage and
spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through
proper maintenance and water conservation.
N inimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This
will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon
Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and
the full temporary storage level.
Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the
minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1).
Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on
nutrient recuirements and soil moisture so that *temporary storage
will be maxinuze:i for the summer thunderstorm, season. Similarly,
ir.-igate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon
storage for the winter.
The lzoon liquid level should never be closer than I foot to the lowest
point or the dam or embankment.
Do not pump the Iagoon liquid level lower that the pe.mma.nent storLe
level unless you aim removing sludge.
Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid
surface and as fal awav tom the drainoive inlets as vossible.
Prevent additions of bedding materials, Ion -stemmed forage orrvegemzion,
remolded feed, plastic sv-inges, or other foreign materials into the lagoon_
Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are instaliea.
Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edg—m-
Do not allow trecs or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment
Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is
dU or before it Ells aq percent of the pe=anent storage volume.
If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility ofa
pollutant discnar5e.
Sludge Removal.
Rare of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:
proper lagoon sizing,
mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
minimizing few was;age and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal te: bnicues:
Frire a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller
pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby crapland;
and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper par or lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forgeland; mix remaining sludge; nurnp into liquid sludge applicator; haul
and spread onto cropiand or forageiand; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper pax-L of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forgeland, dr�.'ae siud e from lagoon with era The or sludge barge; brim
ail area beside la-aoon to receive the sludge so thar liquids can drain back
into lagoon; allow sludge to dewate: , haul and spread with manure spreader
onto cropland or roageland; and soil incorporate.
Regardless of tine method, you must have the sludge material analyzed For waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and meal values from the liquid. The application or the sludge to fields will -be
limited by Wiese nutrients as well as any previous waste arxpiications to that field and crop
requirement- Waste application rates will be discussed in derail in Chapter I
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close
attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains
intact. If you s._. soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should
stop the avity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be
removed without liner injury. if tine Uner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible_
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and.heavy metal content
than licuid_ Because of this it should probably be appi.ied to land with low phosphorus
and metal levers. as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of
erosion_ Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phospilores, It
should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal or phosphorus. As with other
wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nument value.
The application of sludge will i.^cr se the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
could increase the concern or neighbors.
Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failuress-ressult in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structxre. Types
of failures include leairage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the
data. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for
ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include. -
Modification of the lagoon structure —an example is the placement of a wipe
in the dam without Proper design and construction. (Consult.an ex=r in
lagoon design before plug any Pipes in dams-)
Lagoon liquid Ievels—#nigh levels.are a safety risk.
Failure to inspect and maintain the dam.
. Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon-
. Liner integrity —protect from inlet -pipe scouting, damage during sludge
removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater
table.
NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon c2i,
gullies to form in the dam. Once this china a starts, it can quickly, cause a large discharge
of wastewater and possible dam failure. -

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.
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.
A staff gauge must be installed ip 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 per 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. 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. Solids should
be covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete, flush buildings with
recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after initial filling.
2. The attached Waste Utilization Plan shall be followed. The plan recommends
sampling and testing of waste before land application.

COUNTY: DUPLIN SHEET 2 OF 2
3. Begin temporary storage pump —out of the lagoon when the fluid level reaches the
elevation 100.20 as marked by the staff gauge. Stop pump —out when the fluid level
reaches elevation 98.00. This temporary storage, less 25 year / 24 hour storm,
contains 139109 cubic feet or 1040539 gallons.
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the
recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 inches per hour. Refer to the waste
utilization plan for further details.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the- lagoon mowed
annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand.
6. Repair any eroded or damaged areas and establish.in vegetation.
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets.
8. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization
fields adjacent to perennial streams. - Waste will not be applied in open ditches.
Do not pump within 200 feet of a residence 'or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall
be applied in a manner such that waste will not reach other property and public
rights —of —way.
9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters
of the United States. Waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways,
or wetlands by either discharge or by over —spraying. The Department of Environment,
Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Management,
has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT_L-AGO;ON.S,juing
FOUNDATION PREPARATION:
The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be cleared of
trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush, boulders, sod, and rubbish. Satisfactory disposition
will be made of all debris. The topsoil from the lagoon and pad area should be stripped
and stockpiled for use on the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area
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
The completed excavation and earthfill 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 1.5 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.

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 backfil led 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 bail 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 finer is
1.0 x 10-5 cm/sec. This specific discharge is dependant on the permeability of the
liner material, the Iiner 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.

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 a typical 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 veri y that no subsurface drain tile 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 backfll 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 HEAL'f H REQUIREMENTS:
s
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.

Emergency Action Plan
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
operation are leaking, overflowing, or running off the site. You should NOT wait until wastes
reach surface water 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 available to all
employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and breaks could happen at any time. Your
plan should follow this format:
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 may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil

Additional Information Request
Vance J. Basden Farm
Animal Waste Operation
Duplin County
Dear Vance Basden:
The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject application. Additional
information is required before we can continue our review. Please address the following by January 27, 1999:
Please provide documentation that the old lagoon has been properly closed or a lagoon closure plan
including application records and analysis for sludge.
2. Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) lists the Yield for Bermuda on Tract 71952, field 1 as 6 tons per acre.
This is higher than currently recommended for Bermuda for pasture as you have indicated in the Narrative
of Operation. Please contact your technical specialist to revise the Waste Utilization Plan or provide
justification that supports the increased yield as shown in the current WU0. Please note that all WUP
revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist.
3. Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) lists the winter crop on Tract 71952, field 1 as Bermuda. Bermuda is a
summer perennial and cannot be used as an additional source of nitrogen utilization during the winter.
Please revise the crop that is to be grown.
Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist. Please
reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. All information should be signed,
seated, and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below. The information requested by this letter must be
submitted on or before January 27, 1999 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.

This plan describes the closing pocedures for the above referenced farm. The following
closure procedures will be followed in accordance with the current MRCS standards.
1. All existing pipes that were used to discharge waste from the buildings to the
lagoon shall be capped or removed to eliminate fresh water entry from the buildings.
2. All effluent and sludge shall be pumped from the lagoon and shall be land applied
to crops at agronomic rates based on realistic yield expectations for nitrogen. The effluent
and sludge shall be analyzed for nitrogen content prior to application. During the removal
process, all sludge remaining on the side slopes shall be washed down and agitated in
with the bottom sludge and land applied. There shall be one foot or less of sludge
remaining in the lagoon upon completion. Satisfactory removal of the sludge shall be
determined by visual inspection.
3. Any foreign material other than waste found in the lagoon shall be properly
disposed of in a permitted landfill facility. Such material cannot be buried on the farm as
this practice constitutes the operation of an unpermitted landfill.
4. Any electrical services or devices such as recycle pumps, etc. around the lagoon
which will no longer be needed shall be disconnected at the power source and removed.
5. Upon completion of the removal procedures outlined above, the lagoon may be
a) filled in with soil
b) left intact and allowed to fill with fresh water for use as a fresh water pond
c) breached so that it will no longer impound liquid
If left for use as a pond, the requirements of Conservation Practice Standard 378 (Ponds)
shall be met.If the lagoon embankment is breached, the slopes and bottom of the breach
shall be stable for the soil material involved, but the side slopes shall be no greater than
b. All disturbed areas shall be fertilized, seeded and mulched before the lagoon
closure can be certified.

Therefore, please record temperature at collection in space provided on collection sheet.
9H : _A two (2) hour limit to chemically preserve samples by pH adjustment is allowed, except for
metals samples reported to the Groundwater Section which must be acidified at the time of collection.
DECHLORINATION INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: DO NOT Mix thiosulfate with acid in bottle before collecting sample as a
violent reaction will occur.
Dechlorinating Samples that Require Acid Preservation
1. Add 4-5 granules of thiosulfate to a bottle with no acid preservative
( unpreserved BOD/TSS bottle).
2. After mixing to disslove the thiosulfate, pour half of the sample into a bottle containing acid as a
preservative ( Ammonia/TKN)
3. Then completely fill both bottles with fresh sample.
The Laboratory will verify and document the above requested information.
ref. NCAC 2H.0805 (a) (7) (Ml
" At any time a laboratory receives samples which do not meet sample collection, holding time, or preservation
requirements, the laboratory must notify the sample collector or client and secure another sample if possible. If
another sample cannot be secured, the original sample may be analyzed, but the results reported must be
qualified with the nature of the infraction(s). And the laboratory must notify the State Laboratory about the
infraction(s). The notification must include a statement indicating corrective actions taken to prevent the
problem for future samples.

This plan describes the closing pocedures for the above referenced farm. The following
closure procedures will be followed in accordance with the current MRCS Standards.
I, All existing pipes that were used to discharge waste from the buildings to the
lagoon shall be capped or removed to eliminate fresh water entry from the buildings.
2. All effluent and sludge shall �c pumped from the lagoon and shall be land applied
to crops at agronomic rates based on realistic yield expectations for nitrogen. The effluent
and "sludge ihall be analyzed for nitrogen content prior to application. During the removal
process, all sludge remaining on the side slopes shall be washed down and agitated in
with the bottom sludge and land applied. There shall be one foot or less of sludge
remaining in the lagoon upon completion. Satisfactory removal of the sludge shall be
determined by visual inspection.
3. Any foreign material other than waste found in the lagoon shad be properly
disposed of in a permitted landfill facility. Such material cannot be,buried an the_.fariri
this practice constitutes the operation of an unpermitted landfill. =
4. Any electrical services or devices such as recycle pwnps, etc, around_ dic lippri

Subject: Vance Basden Farm
Facility: 31-862
Duplin County
On September 17,1998, I visited your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this
operation. It was observed that a waste treatment lagoon had been disconnected and removed from
service of your animal operation- Records and evidence on -site indicate that a lagoon closure
operation was performed. A Lagoon Closure Report Form for this lagoon was signed by M. Kevin
Weston of Murphy Family Farms. However, it appears that in it's present state, this lagoon does
not meet the USDA-NRCS requirements for a proper closure of such a structure. In addition, a
completed closure report has not been received by the Division of Water Quality. At this time the
structure is still considered an active animal waste lagoon. Evidence was observed at the time of
my visit that the lagoon has been discharging into the adjacent farm ditch.
The USDA-NRCS Interim Standard for Closure of Abandoned Waste Treatment Lagoons
and Waste Storage Ponds Code 998 applies to animal waste treatment lagoons and waste storage
ponds that are no longer used for their original intended purpose. This standard requires that: "If
the waste treatment lagoon or waste storage pond being converted to a fresh water pond is required
to meet Conservation Practice Standard 378 (Ponds), the plans and specifications will also be in
keeping with the requirements of that standard."
This lagoon closure must be completed and meet all of the required specifications. Any
further documented discharges to surface waters may be treated as a willful violation of the rules.
Please notify this office when the required actions have been completed to comply with the
approved standard for lagoon closures. Failure to do so may result in the facility losing it's
deemed permitted status and being required to obtain a_n ,individual non discharge permit for the
facility.

Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes and Rules to discharge
wastewater to the surface waters of the State without a permit and/or to fail to follow a certified
waste management plan. The Division of Environmental Management has the authority to levy
a civil penalty of not more than $10,000 per day per violation.
Again, when the required corrective actions are complete, please notify this office in

Additional Information Request
Vance J. Basden Farm
Animal Waste Operation
Duplin County
Dear Vance Basden:
The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject application. Additional
information is required before we can continue our review. Please address the following by May 27, 1999:
1. Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) lists the Yield for grazed Bermuda on Tract 71952, field I as 6 tons per
acre. This is higher than currently recommended for Bermuda for pasture as you have indicated in the
Narrative of Operation. Please contact your technical specialist to revise the Waste Utilization Plan or
provide justification that supports the increased yield as shown in the current WUP. Please note that all
WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist.
2. Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) lists the winter crop on Tract 71952, field 1 as Bermuda. Bermuda is a
summer perennial and cannot be used as an additional source of nitrogen utilization during the winter.
Please revise the crop that is to be grown.
Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist. Please
reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. All information should be signed,
sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below. The information requested by this letter must be
submitted on or before May 27, 1999 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 (919) 733-5083, extension 546.

Facility Number: 31-862
Duplin County
Dear Mr. Basden:
On April 21, 1998, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. It was observed
that the old lagoon had insufficient freeboard. It was also observed that the coastal bermuda crop
had not been improved as recommended during the August 11, 1997 inspection and is overrun
with weeds agd volunteer grasses.
The level of the old waste lagoon needs to be lowered and maintained in accordance with
the NRCS guidelines and the state 211 .0200 rules governing animal waste management systems.
Appropriate actions must be taken to remove the weeds and volunteer grasses from the spray field
and to establish the bermtida grass to reach the Realistic Yield Expectation stated in the waste
utilization plan. In addition, a closure plan with a projected close out date should be implemented
for the old lagoon. The spray records should be kept by pull number and field number, using the
correct acreage for each pull in the waste application calculations. The correct Plant Available
Nitrogen loading rate, as listed in the waste utilization plan, should be used when recording and
calculating the waste applications for each pull and each crop. The bare areas on the new lagoon
should be re -seeded with an appropriate vegetative cover. The debris piles in the spray field
should be removed and the bare areas re -seeded to fully utilize the field. We suggest that you
contact your service company, local NRCS or Soil and Water District office for any assistance
they may be able to provide to correct the situation.
