REC�IVFD
Subject: Notification for Phosphorus Loss Assessment
Winters Tract - Grady
Permit Number NCA231863
Facility 31-863
Duplin County
There is a condition in your recently issued Animal Waste Management General NPDES Permit - "
addressing phosphorous loss standards. The permit condition quoted below states that if the state or
federal government establishes phosphorus loss standards your facility must conduct an evaluation within
180 days. The Federal Natural Resources Conservation Service has now established this standard. A
computer -based program was developed to determine how much phosphorus was being lost from
different fields. Instructions on how to comply with this requirement are provided below.
In accordance with your NPDES Permit Number NCA231863 Condition I.6, your facility must now
conduct a Phosphorus Loss Assessment. Condition 1.6 states:
"If prior to the expiration date of this permit either the state or federal government establishes
Phosphorus loss standards that are applicable to land application activities at a facility operating
under this permit, the Permittee must conduct an evaluation of the facility and its CAWMP under
the requirements of the Phosphorus loss standards to determine the facility's ability to comply
with the standards. This evaluation must be documented on forms supplied or approved by the
Division and must be submitted to the Division. This evaluation must be completed by existing
facilities within six (6) months of receiving notification from the Division.
Once Phosphorus loss standards are established by the state or federal government that are
applicable to facilities applying to operate under this permit, no Certificate of Coverage will,be
issued to any new or expanding facility to operate under this permit until the applicant
demonstrates that the new or expanding" facility can comply with these standards."
The method of evaluation is. the Phosphorous Loss Assessment Tool (PLAT) developed by NC State
University and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. PLAT addresses four potential loss
pathways: leaching, erosion, runoff and direct movement of waste over the surface. Each field must be
individually evaluated and rated as either low, medium, high or very high according to its Phosphorus

- loss potential. The ratings for your farm must be reported to DWQ using the attached certification form.
'The PLAT forms must be kept as records on your farm for future reference.
From the date of receipt of this letter, a period of 180 days is provided to perform PLAT and return the
certification form to DWQ. Only a technical specialist who has received specific training may perform
PLAT. You are encouraged to contact a technical specialist now to run PLAT on your farm. Your local
Soil and Water Conservation District may be able to provide assistance. This information on the attached
form(s) must be submitted within 180 days of receipt of this letter to:
Animal Feeding Operations Unit
Division of Water Quality
1636 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1636
NPDES permitted farms will need to have implemented a nutrient managemdnt plan which addresses
phosphorus loss before the next permit cycle beginning July, 2007. if you have any fields with a high or
very high rating, then your waste utilization plan will require modifications. The purpose of performing
PLAT this early is to allow adequate time for making waste plan modifications where necessary. With
the next permit, continued application of waste will not be allowed on fields with a very high rating. For
fields rated high, only the amount of phosphorus projected to be removed by the harvested crop. For low
and medium ratings, phosphorus will not be the limiting factor. Once the PLAT evaluation is completed
on your farm, you will know if you have fields that need further work. You are encouraged to begin
developing and implementing a strategy to deal with any issues as soon as possible.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statue or permitting requirement.

RE: Notice of Violation
Winters Tract — Grady
Facility # 31-863
Duplin County
Dear Mr. Stehman and Mr. Cobb-
?�T'1'IF D
NOV 0 5 2004
I am writing in response to the Notice of Violation received from your office with regard to
Condition ll. 1 of my NPDES permit, with an explanation of the violation and the actions to be
taken to prevent reoccurrence.
The land application area at this fig6lity.is pasture, divided into paddocks, and the area where the
water sample was taken is an area where cows have been repeatedly fed as can be observed in
the photo from the obvious cattle trail leading to and from the area. I believe that the sample
analysis is a result of cattle waste and not ponded run-off from waste application from my lagoon.
With that said, I do realize and accept that this area has not been properly maintained_ I will
regrade and shape the areas where cattle have been fed in my pastures to facilitate proper
drainage. These areas will be reseeded so they will have acceptable vegetative cover. This will
eliminate the holes/areas that allow effluent and/or rain to pond during or after a land application
and/or precipitation event. The buffer areas along the edges of my fields where cattle traffic has
created ridges or berm type situations wilt also be regraded to facilitate proper drainage from the
fields. Often times, over an extended period of time, the area outside of the fence will be higher
than.the area inside the. fence where animals are continuously moving along the perimeter,
creating a"ridge or dam type situation_ Disking and grading this area will rectify this.
The land application events that you observed were conducted after observing my fields and soil -
conditions. I was preparing for the impacts of impending hurricanes and storm events. fn no way
did I intend to land apply in a manner that was inconsistent with my CAWMP or my NPDES
permit. I will make the improvements I have discussed to insure that this does not happen again.
Field maintenance, when you have cattle, is an ongoing thing, as I am sure you are aware of_ I
trust you will find my response satisfactory to meet your request. Please feel free to contact me if
you need additional information.
Respectfully t
/tt

Dear Mr. Grady:
Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director
Division of Water Quality
This is to notify you of violations to Swine Waste Management System General NPDES Permit
NCA200000 issued on April 9, 2003 under Certificate of Coverage NCA231863.
On September 13, 2004, DWQ flew over the farm and observed waste being applied to a wet
field as evident by numerous puddles of water (see attached photos). On the following day, Mr.
Chester Cobb from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality inspected
the farm and observed water and waste ponding in the f ield. A water s ample taken of t he
largest ponded area also indicated the presence of waste. The analysis of the water sample
revealed the following:
Fecal Coliform 27,000
(colonies/100mi)
NO2-N + NO3-N 0.18
(mg/L)
NH3-N 60.2
TKN 128
(M L)
Total P 0.73
(Mg/0
The above observations as they apply to the sprayfield are in violation of Condition No. II. 1. of
the NPDES Permit that states, "The collection, treatment, and storage facilities, and the land
application equipment and fields shall be properly operated and maintained at all times." The
numerous holes serve as places where water 1 waste can remain ponded for extended periods
of time. Also, the earthen dams built to prevent or minimize any water run off from the field also
allowed water -"to stay ori'the field. While waste run off from the field is prohibited, rainwater
needs to be shed off the field. Field work is needed to eliminate the holes and improve the
drainage so that rainwater can be shed off the field -

waste is to be applied_ This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly
encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be
grown.
"Several'factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to
maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an
environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient contents of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop
can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching
potentials, cation exchange capacities, and avaialable water holding capacities. Normally
waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With
special pre -cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per
year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under
DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind
odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the
potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare
ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve
nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on waste application through
irrigation for this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose
to inject the waste in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting
waste and irrigating waste are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report
from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for ananlysis. This waste
utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.
Page 1

AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
6600 hogs X 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year =12540 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
6600 hogs X 2.3 Ibs PANlhogslyear =15180 PAIWyear
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have
appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown,
soil type and suface application.

acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the
tables.
NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of
sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nurturient rich and will require precautionary
measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility
will produce approximately 2442 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the
sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when
broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special
equipment, may be needed when you remove. this sludge..
See the attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of
irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture
content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application
amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of
irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of -the
crop.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average,of once every 5.92 months. In no instance should the volume
of waste being stored in your structure be within 1.625 feet of the top of the dike.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsiblity of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
This plan is written based on a 2-year cropping rotation using an irrigation design furnished
by Mr. Billy Hall and soils information furnished by Duplin SWCD. The acres used are
effective wetted acres. This plan is written by irrigation pulls. Pulls 9.18 will utilize a
comlwheatlsoybean rotation. The corn has 15 Ibs N deducted for residual N following the
soybean crop. When not following soybeans, this can be added back to the PAN rate. The
other pulls are written for bermuda and fescue pasture with the bermuda overseeded with
small grain on the 50 lb rate_

PLANS & SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any
discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject
to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Water Quality for every
day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has long terns access to adequate land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide MRCS with a
copy of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing
him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production
facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste
Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals,
method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic
crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for
other nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or
an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil, loss shall be no - - - -
greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff
leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition'to "Buffers" required by DEM. (See
FOTG Stantard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
8_ When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or
grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a
season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the NRCS
Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.)
*7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that
runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions
conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is
not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with
a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a
minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall
not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a crop on bare soil.
11 _ Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following:
the outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a
Page 7

component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary
and from any perennial stream or river (other that an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste
other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied
closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal Waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landownwer.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right - of ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted croplands
provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist"_
Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water
courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the application causes.no runoff or
drift from the site.
*16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc.,
shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system.
*17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas .
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe nuns, etc.)_ If needed, special vegetation shall be
provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to- protect the vegetation_
Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where
considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon
berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or
discharge.
*18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
*19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills_ A regular maintenance checklist should be
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 as a preemergence with no other 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 ail 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 fpr 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 shail be adjusted
for optimum crop production amd maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
Page 8

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 Department of
Agriculture regulations.

Subject: Information Regarding a Well at Benny Grady's Farm
Winters Tract
Facility Number: 31-863
Duplin County
Dear Mr. Best:
On January 16, 2002, I inspected the referenced facility in response to your report that a well was in the
sprayfield. I instructed Mr. Grady that he needed to maintain a 100 foot distance between the application
area and wells. Mr. Grady had his irrigation design and waste utilization plan revised to provide for the
100 foot distance between the application area and the well. Please find enclosed a copy of the revised
waste utilization plan, a copy of the revised irrigation acreage calculation sheet and corresponding map,
and a copy of my inspection report. If you have any further questions concerning this matter, please do
not hesitate to contact me at 910-395-3900 ext.. 203.
Sincerely,
Stonewall Mathis
Environmental Engineer I

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified -rate to prevent
pollution of surface andlor groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be
used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required forthe crops in the fields where
waste is to be applied_ This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly
encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be
grown.
Severalfactors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to
maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an
environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient contents of the -waste. 'Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop
can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching
potentials, cation exchange capacities, :and avaialable water holding capacities. Normally
waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With
special pre -cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per
year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under
DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drtft and downwind
odor problems. To maximize -the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the
potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare
ground.not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve
nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on waste application through
irrigation for this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose
to inject the waste in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting
waste and irrigating -waste are not -the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the -animal waste is based on typical nutrientcontent
for this -type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on _the waste analysis report
from your waste management -facility. Attached,you will -find information -on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for ananlysis. This waste
utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

AMOUNT OF WASTE"PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
6600 hogs X 1.9 toms waste/hogslyear =12640 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
6600 hogs X 2.3 !bs PAW/hogslyear =15180 PAN/year
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have
appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown,
soil type and suface application_

Acres show in each of the proceeding 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.
NOTE: The Waste utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of
sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nurturient rich and will require precautionary
measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility
will produce approximately 2442.pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the
sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when
broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special
equipment, may- be needed when you remove this sludge.
See the attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of wastewater
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of
inigation.such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture
content, soil -structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and -organic solids. The application
amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of
irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the
crop.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed omthe-average of once every 5.92 months. In no instance should the volume
of waste being stored in your structure be within 1.625 feet of the top of the dike.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsiblity of the
producer and irrigation designerto ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in Tables-1 and.2. _Failure to applythe recommended rates and
amounts of:Nitrogen shown in the.tables may make this,plan invalid.

NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
This plan is written based on a 2-year cropping rotation using an irrigation design furnished
by Mr. Billy Hall and soils information furnished by Duplin SWGD. The acres used are
effective wetted acres. This plan is written by irrigation pulls. Pulls 5-18 will utilize a
corn/wheat/soybean rotation. The corn has 15 Ibs N deducted for residual N following the
soybean crop. When not following soybeans, this can be added back to the PAN rate. The
other pulls are written for bermuda and fescue pasture with the bermuda overseeded with
small grain on the 50 lb rate.

PLANS &. SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any
discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject
to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Water Quality for every
day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has long term access to adequate land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a
copy of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing
him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production
facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste
Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals,
method of utilization, or available land.
3..Animal waste shall be applied to meet -but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic
crop -yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for
other nutrients"'
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or
an Alternative Conservation,5ysterri (ACS)., If an.ACS'is used the soil foss"shall be.no
greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff
leaves the field. Z hese filter strips�iivill. be'in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. (See
FOTG Stantard.393 Filter Strips.and-Standard 390 'Interim.Riparian.Forest Buffers).
5.Odors can be reducedby-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 an acres subject to flooding, it will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. -When applied to conservation tilled crops or
grassland, the waste maybe broadcast provided the application does not'occur during a
season prone to -flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina", in the NRCS
Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.) "
*7.-Liquid waste shall be.applied at.rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that
runoff does not occur offsite or.to surface waters and in a method.which.does not -cause drift
,from the site -during application'. "No :ponding shautd occurin order to control conditions
conducive,to�odor orflies -and to;provide uniformity of -application.
8. -Animal wasteshalf not be.applied .to.:saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when `the
surface is -frozen.
9. Animal waste.sNafl be applied on actively growing crops in such:a manner that tare crop is
not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth.
10. Waste nutrients shall not -be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops .on soils with
a high potential for'leac Ting. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should.be held to a
minimum.and a suitable winter cover, crop planted to take up released:nuhients._.Waste shall
not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a crop on bare soil.

12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal Waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landownwer.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right - of ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted croplands
provided they have been approved as a land application site by a technical specialist".
Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge'directiy into water
courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the application causes no runoff or

considered appropriate. lagoon areas"should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon
berms and.structures should be: inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or
discharge. :.. - .
*18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended.or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the -
.possibility of an illegal discharge, .pollution and erosion.
*19. Waste.handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be.inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills..A regular maintenance checklist should be

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Goldsboro Hog Farms, Inc. FEB 0 5 2002
Tuesday, January 29, 2002
Producer: Benny L Grady
Farm Name: Winters Tract fa1-863
PO Box 428
Faisan,NC 28341
Telephone 0 : [phone]
Type of Operation : Feeder to Finish Spine
Number of Animals : 66M hogs design capacity
Application Method: Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface and/or groundwater_ The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be
used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where
waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly
encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be
grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to
maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an
environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient contents of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop
can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching
potentials, cation exchange capacities, and avaialable water holding capacities. Normally
waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With
special pre -cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per
year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under
DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind
odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the
potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare
ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve
nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on waste application through
irrigation for this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose
to inject the waste in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting
waste and irrigating waste are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report
from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for ananlysis. This waste
utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
6600 hogs X 1.9 tons wastelhogslyear = 12540 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
6600 hogs X 2.3 Ibs PAINlhogslyear =15180 PANIyear
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have
appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown,
soil type and suface application.

Acres show in each of the preceeding 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.
NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of
sludge at agronomic rates_ The sludge will be nurturient rich and will require precautionary
measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility
will produce approximately 2442 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the
sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when
broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special
equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge.
See the attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of
irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture
content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application
amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of
irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the
crop.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 5.92 months. In no instance should the volume
of waste being stoned in your structure be within 1.625 feet of the top of the dike.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsiblity of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
This plan is written based on a 2-year cropping rotation using an irrigation design furnished
by Mr. Billy Hall and soils information furnished by Duplin SWCD. The acres used are
effective wetted acres. This plan is written by irrigation pulls. Pulls 9-18 will utilize a
comhvheaVsoybean rotation. The com has 15 Ibs N deducted for residual N following the
soybean crop. When not following soybeans, this can be added back to the PAN rate. The
other pulls are written for bermuda and fescue pasture with the bermuda overseeded with
small grain on the 50 lb rate.

PLANS & SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any
discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject
to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Water Quality for every
day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has long term access to adequate land to property dispose of waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a
copy of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing
himther the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production
facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste
Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals,
method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic
crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for
other nufients_
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or
an Altemative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no
greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff
leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. (See
FOTG Stantard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers).
5.Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or
grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a
season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the NRCS
Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.)
"7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that
runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions
conducive to odor or flies and to provide unifomnity of application.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is
not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with
a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a
minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall
not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a crop on bare soil.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following:
the outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a
Page 7

component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary
and from any perennial stream or river (other that an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste
other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied
closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal Waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landownwer.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right - of ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted croplands
provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist".
Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water
courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the application causes no runoff or
drift from the site.
*16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc.,
shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system.
*17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be
provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation.
Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where
considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon
berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or
discharge.
*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 as a preemergence with no other 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 fpr 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 amd maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
Page 8

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 Department of
Agriculture regulations.

Type of Operation : Feeder to Finish swine
Number of Animals : WW hogs design capacity
Application Method: irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be
used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where
waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly
encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be
grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to
maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an
environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient contents of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop
can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching
potentials, cation exchange capacities, and avaialable water holding capacities. Normally
waste shall not be applied to.land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With
special pre -cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per
year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under
DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind
odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the
potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare
ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve
nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on waste application through
irrigation for this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. if you choose
to inject the waste in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting
waste and irrigating waste are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report
from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for ananlysis. This waste
utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

tables.
NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for -periodic land application of
sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nurturient rich and will require precautionary
measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements_ Your production facii'ity
will produce approximately 2442 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the
sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when
broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special
equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge.
See the attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of
irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture
content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application
amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of
irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the
crop.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 5.92 months. In no instance should the volume
of waste being stored in your structure be within 1.625 feet of the top of the dike.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, It is the responsiblity of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

13. Animal Waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landownwer.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right - of ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted croplands
provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist".
Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water
courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the application causes no runoff or
drift from the site.
*16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc.,
shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system.
*17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be
provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation.
Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where
considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon
berms and structures should be Inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or
discharge.
*IS. 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 as a preemergence with no other applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
*21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to marls 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 fpr 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 al#emative
crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted
for optimum crop production amd maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)

Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 31-863

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, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.

Per our phone conversation this afternoon, I am enclosing a copy of the plan view that you
apparently did not have during your review of this design. This letter also will serve as
documentation that Benny L. Grady has agreed to purchase a parcel of the tract of land that we
own that will contain the swine facility. Our notarized pumping agreement with Mr. Grady shows
the land that will be used in waste application and this will continue to be the plan. I do not see
the need to incur the legal expense of having an agreement to purchase document drawn up, as
we have satisfied the requirements for the permit application- If I can be of further assistance to
you, please do not hesitate to call me at 919-778-3130, ext 1430.
