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.

In. no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation "see lagoon design. Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service -(formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. Narrative of operation: Acres shown are 'wetted' acres using a 3" reei. Bermuda rate is for a combination of haying and grazing. With the rate being used, at least 3.5 tons of bermuda should be removed each year as hay. The remaining bermuda may be grazed. All small grain may be grazed. Page 4 WASTES=UTILIZATION PLiAN �'' S as 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. Page 5 F `WASTE UTIL'IZATIONPLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 9 Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10 Waste nutrients shall not be'applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be 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.

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 Dept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. 18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19 Waste handling structures, piping pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 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 pre -plant with no further applications 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 soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Basden Farm Swine Waste Collection, Treatment, Storage and Application 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.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be -grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall 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. Page: 1 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.

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 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 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. 1 Tract I Field 1 I 71952 1 14 1 71952 1 1 14A 71952 -1 1 1 -14 1 -1 1 Soil Type 1 1 NOA 1 RAA 1 Crop BH FP Application RatefApplic.

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.

WINTER ANNUAL(WA) OVERSEEDING IN BERMUDA PASTURE MAY BE EITHER GRAZED OR CUT FOR HAY. Page: 8 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 of erosion, leakage or discharge. . S Page: 10 z" , 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.

I informed Mr. Kraig Westerbeek of Murphy -Brown, LLC of my observations. Mr. Westerbeek called and left me a voice mail message on April 1, 2002 and said that he had been to the facility to investigate this matter. Mr. Westerbeek indicated that the pond is not in the sprayfield. Stonewall Mathis Environmental Engineer I 5/ 10/02 Michael F. Easley, Governor William G. Ross Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Gregory J. Thorpe, Ph.D., Acting Director Division of Water Quality November l 6, 2001 CERTIFIED MAIL # 7001 0320 0003 0382 7341 RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED Mr. Vance Basden 4331 E NC 24 Beulaville, NC 28518 Subject: Follow Up to Compliance Inspection Vance J. Basden Farm Facility Number: 31-862 Duplin County 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. Wilmington Regional Office 127 Cardinal Drive Extension Phone: (910) 395-3900 Wilmington, NC 28405-3845 Fax: (910) 350-2004 Mr. Vance Basden November 16, 2001 Page Two 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.

Basden Farm Facility Number 31-862 Duplin County A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your plan. An evaluation by 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". — Category is ❑ The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Dean Hunkele the necessary information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre determination. Please submit this information to Dean Hunkele, at 127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, NC 28405-3845, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any questions please contact Dean Hunkele at (910) 395-3900. if within 90 days you are unable to provide Dean Hunkele with the information you are automatically required to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2 below, within 180 days of receipt of this letter. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone 919-733-5083 Fax 919-715-6048 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Notification for Wettable Acre Determination Animal Waste Management System Page 2 Cate ory 2: Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this designation, or a Professional Engineer. All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWG? within the next 180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation, and/or injunctive relief. Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of.Soil & Water Conservation Staff will review all documentation during their annual`visit of your facility. An additional copy must by kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office.

Basden Farm Facility Number: 31-862 Duplin County 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. 127 North Cardinal Dr., Wilmington, North Carolina 29405 Telephone 9103953900 FAX 910350-2004 An Equal opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post-consurner paper m OFF CA.L U-S E11C3 Postage $ 3 GI O N V M �� tti m - Certified Fee / O = QWnnd«s�emment RegpuVed)dj . -b H �(�1L `�' ri 1 p Restricted Delivery Fee N p O (Endorsement Required) i p O Tote) Postage h Fees $ 3 9 to ru m Sent 0 /n►'a� - , � n . fl Sueet, Apt.

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. A - Mr. Vance Basden June 30, 2000 Page 3 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.

ROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES December 30, 1999 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.

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. f - The following acreage will be needed for waste application•bdsed on the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

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 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 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.

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. 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. Page: 10 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.

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 NCAC 2H_0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

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. - EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN PHONE NUMBERS DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY (DWQ) cco-) 39s--3Suo EMERGENCY MANAGEMNE Ti SERVICES (EMS) !G rof a, U-Z %lea SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT (SWCD) 9) ► 01a.ck U_ 171 e�l NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE (NRCS) Lq Ln-\ COOPERATIVE EXTERSION SERVICE (CES) f3 I t2 This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking, overflowing or running off site.

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. Murphy Family Farms Engineering P.O.

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. Murphy Family Fauns Engineering P.O.

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. Murphy Family Farms Engineering P.O.

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.

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. Murphy Family Farms Engineering P.D.

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 Murphy Family Farms Engineering P.O.

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.

Samples received within two (2) hours of collection must show a downward trend. 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. ref. NCAC 2H.0805 (a) (7) M.

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. 127 North Cardinal Dr., Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 Telephone 910-395-3900 FAX 910-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycledl10% post -consumer paper Mr. Vance Basden October 30, 1998 Page 2.

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.

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.

Basden Farm 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. 127 North Cardinal Dr., Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 Telephone 910-395-3900 FAX 910-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper a s 4 ` Z 312 648 760 US Postal Service Receipt for Certified Mai!
