An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals. Please read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit carefully. Please pay careful attention to the record keeping and monitoring conditions in this hermit. Record keeping forms are unchanged with this General Permit. Please continue to use the same record keeping forms. If your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) has been developed based on site -specific information, careful evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current WUP is inaccurate you will need to have a new WUP developed. 1636 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1636 Phone: 919-847-64641 Internet: hftp:/Awm.ncwater.org m.ncwater.org An Equal ODoodunity l A6firrn*m Action EDmlover — Made in Dart by meveled oaDer 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 thj st peimit,conveyfany;property rights in either real or personal property.

With the survey results, Jonathan Miller from Agriment Services Inc, on your behalf requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement for lagoon #2 at Cypress Creek Farms facility. Due to the amount of treatment volume -available, and the rate of sludge accumulation for the lagoon, the Division feels that an extension is not appropriate for lagoon #2 at this time. The next sludge survey for lagoon #2 at Cypress Creek Farms facility should be performed before December 31, 2011. Thank you foryour attention to this matter. - Please call me at (919) 715-6937 if you have any questions. Xz Sincerely, By. FEB 1 4 20it Miressa D.

The following lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the numberof acres needed for sludge utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for each source, the number ofanimals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates shown in the second column. Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases. the priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied. Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

Available storage capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero. Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design storage capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated. If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

Adaptation: Effective artificial drainage MUST be in place to achieve Realistic Yield Expectations provided for these soils. In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. 1 to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs 1" to 3" deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bulac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced 1' to 1.5' in row. For broadcastldisked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus, potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 1001b/ac N in the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240 lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts. Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or extension agent for assistance. The following crop note applies to field(s): 1, 11, 2, 3, 4, 5, Z 1, Z 7 Fescue: Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Poorly Drained to Somewhat Poorly Drained. Adaptation: Moderate to Marginal. In the Coastal Plain, tall fescue can be planted Sept. I to Oct. 15 (best) and Feb. 15 to Mar. 20. For pure -stand broadcast seedings use 20 to 30 lb/ac., for drilled use 15 to 20 lb/ac. seed. Use certified seed to avoid introducing weeds or annual ryegrass. Plant seed 0.25" to 0.5" deep for pure stands, 0.25" in mixture with clovers. Tall fescue will tolerate soil wetness but not flooding or prolonged saturation; use ladino clover for mixtures on these soils. Soil test for preplant and maintenance lime, phosphorus, and potassium recommendations. Apply 40 to 601b/ac nitrogen at planting for pure stands only. Do not apply N for mixtures with clovers but use proper legume inoculation techniques. Apply 150 to 2001b/ac. N to pure -stand fescue for hay production; reduce N rates by 25% to 50% for grazing. Apply N Feb. 1 to Mar. 20 and Aug. 20 to Sept. 30, with equal amounts in each window.

The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling rye into short (less than 3 inches tall) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to .August 31. An application of 50 lbs/acre of Plant Available N (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30. An additional 50 lbs.acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If rye growth is harvested on time and does not significantly shade the bermuda, PAN rates for the subsequent Bermuda crop are based on realistic yields of bermuda. A harvest is required prior to heading or April 7, which ever comes first. This is necessary to minimize the potential for shading bennuda and reducing its yields. ANNUAL RYEGRASS Annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short (less than 3 inches tall) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An application of 50 lbs/acre of PAN may be applied behveen September 15 and October 30. An additional 50 lbs. acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If additional PAN is applied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the bermuda must be reduced by a corresponding amount. This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will reduce bermuda yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is required by heading or April 7, which ever comes first to prevent shading of emerging bermuda during April -May period. To favor the production of the bermuda, additional harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height. --------------------------------------------- - - ------ ---- -----. 549633 Database Version 1.0: Date Printed: 04-07-2004 Crop Note Page 2 of 4 The following crop note applies to field(s): 12, 13, 14, 15, Z 3, Z 4, Z 5, Z 6 Bermudagrass Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Moderately Well Drained.

Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced 1' to 1.5' in row. For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus, potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 lb/ac N in the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240 lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts. Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or extension agent for assistance. ------------- - ­---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------- ----- 549633 Database Version 1.0: Date Printed: 04-07-2004 Crop Note Page 3 of 4 The following crop note applies to tield(s): 12, 13, 14, 15, Z 3, Z 4, Z 5, Z 6 Cereal/Annual Rye Overseeded — Hay CEREAL RYE The cereal rye should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling rye into short (less than 3 inches tall) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the berinuda prior to August 31. An application of 50 lbs/acre of Plant Available N (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30. An additional 50 lbs.acre of PAN may be applied in February-1Vlarch. If rye growth is harvested on time and does not significantly shade the bermuda, PAN rates for the subsequent bermuda crop are based on realistic yields of bermuda. A harvest is required prior to heading or April 7, which ever comes first. This is necessary to minimize the potential for shading bennuda and reducing its yields. ANNUAL RYEGRASS Annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short (less than 3 inches tall) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An application of 50 lbs/acre of PAN may be applied between September 15 and October 30. An additional 50 ibs. acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If additional PAN is applied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the bermuda must be reduced by a corresponding amount. This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will reduce bermuda yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is required by heading or April 7, which ever comes first to prevent shading of emerging bermuda during April -May period. To favor the production of the bermuda, additional harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height. -- ------------ - •----------•-•---------- . 549633 Database Version 1.0:' Date Printed: 04-07-2004 Crop Note Page 4 of 4 Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management 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 that 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 the waste, he/she shall provide evidence 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 waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications 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 eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is 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). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------�- ---------.�.--_�--- - 549633 Database Version 1.08 Date Printed: 04-07-2004 Specification Page l of 4 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 and flies. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil 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. 10. Nutrients from waste 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 canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters. 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. --- -----------------------------------1--------- - ---------------. - --,------- - - 549633 Database Version 1.08 Date Printed: 04-07-2004 Specification Page 2 of 4 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 the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 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. 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 of animal waste during the crop season. ----------- ---------------------------- ------ ----------------------------------- I-- --------- ---------- ------------------ 549633 Database Version 1.08 Date Printed: 04-07-2004 Specification Page 3 of 4 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 nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. 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 and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste'shall be maintained for a minimum of five years. 23.

Easley, Governor William G. Ross, Jr., Secretary NCDENR David S Vogel, Director NORTH CAROUNA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOkJRCE5 Date: March 10, 2004 Subject: Permit Request Neuhoff Farm AG Facility Number 67-1 To: Paul Sherman Non -Discharge Permit Unit RECEIVED WATER QUAL" SECTION MAR 15 2004 NO"ISCHARGE PERMf ING The Neuhoff Farm (AG) according to the owner and the records that I have searched has never received a formal Non -Discharge permit by the Division of Water Quality. However, it has been in the permitting process for quite some time now. It is my.understanding that the farm is close to being permitted at this time. The final hurdle seems to be the removal of sludge from the farm. This has been accomplished. This farm has been inspected by both the Division of Water Quality and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation since the inception of the inspection program. The farm was certified by Ralph Sam Jarvis in December of 1997 in accordance with the appropriate procedures. This farm was originally built in the 1960 era. Thus, the farm has been and should be treated as an existing facility. There are four lagoons on this farm that were created over a period of time prior to 1990. The lagoons on this farm are not sufficient to accommodate 180 days of storage however three of the lagoons are capable of accommodating a 90 day storage period. This is accomplished by having two lagoons act as the treatment cells, while the third lagoon is used to store all of the temporary storage requirements. The elevation and depth of the fourth lagoon on this farm renders it useless to be used for treatment or storage. Thus, three of the lagoons will be used as treatment and storage while the fourth lagoon will be isolated from receiving additional waste, however the excess rainfall and storm storage volumes for this lagoon has been calculated as parts of the overall waste management plan to ensure that this lagoon will not cause a discharge. I have recertified the storage capacities of the lagoons as well as created a new waste management plan for the facility based on actual irrigated acreage. The facility required the use of a honey wagon to meet the required PAN balances. However, I have provided an irrigation plan for this farm which includes an additional six acres that will be put under a solid set irrigation system. The additional acreage will now allow the 943 Washington Square Mail, Washington, North Carolina 27889 Telephone 252-946-6481 FAX 252-975-3716 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer farm to operate without the use of a honey wagon. The new solid set irrigation has not been installed at this time however, it will be installed within thirty days from the date of this letter. I required sludge to be removed from the facility prior to certifying the storage capacities in the lagoons. I have enclosed the new certification forms and the new waste management plan as well as a copy of the sludge removal plan for your review. The sludge has already been removed from the facility. If you could expedite the permit review for this farm that would be of great help to the owners because they are concerned about their status. Thank you very much for your help in this matter. Please include this letter as part of the permit review package as it is helpful in explaining to the reviewer how this farm will function. If you have further questions or comments I may be reached at 252- 946-6481.

The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake. This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that wilI be applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for sludge utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for each source, the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates shown in the second column. Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic.matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied. Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

Available storage capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start date is a value entered by the user and, is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero. Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design storage capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated. If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure.. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

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 that 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 the waste, he/she shall provide evidence 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 waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land. 3. - Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications 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 eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than ] 0 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is 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). ------------------------------------------------------------------------.-.-..:--------------------------------------------.....--------------I--------------- 162120 Database Version 1.08 Date Printed: 03-12-2004 Specification Page 1 of 4 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 and flies. S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil 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. 10. Nutrients from waste 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 canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters. 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. --------------------------------------.------ -------------------------------------.----------------------------------------------------------------- 162120 Database Version 1.08 Date Printed: 03-12-2004 Specification Page. 2 of 4 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 the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 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. 1$. 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 of animal waste during the crop season. 162120 Database Version 1.08 Date Printed: 03-12-2004 Specification Page 3 of 4 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 nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. 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 and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and wasteanalysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for a minimum of five years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. --- ..------------------------------------------------------------- ------ ........................... ---....--..----.-... . 162120 Database Version 1.08 Date Printed: 03-12-2004 Specification Page 4 of 4 Crop Notes The following crop note applies to field(s): 10, 6, 7, 8, 9, Zone 2 Bermudagrass Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Poorly Drained to Somewhat Poorly Drained. Adaptation: Effective artificial drainage MUST be in place to achieve Realistic Yield Expectations provided for these soils. In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. 1 to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs 1" to 3" deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced 1' to 1.5' in row. For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus, potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 Iblac N in the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240 lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts. Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or extension agent for assistance. The following crop note applies to field(s): 1, 11, 2, 3, 4, 5, Zone I Fescue: Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Poorly Drained to Somewhat Poorly Drained. Adaptation: Moderate to Marginal. In the Coastal Plain, tall fescue can be planted Sept. 1 to Oct. 15 (best) and Feb. 15 to Mar. 20. For pure -stand broadcast seedings use 20 to 30 lb/ac., for drilled use 15 to 20 lb/ac. seed. Use certified seed to avoid introducing weeds or annual ryegrass. Plant seed 0.25" to 0.5" deep for pure stands, 0.25" in mixture with clovers. Tall fescue will tolerate soil wetness but not flooding or prolonged saturation; use ladino clover for mixtures on these soils. Soil test for preplant and maintenance lime, phosphorus, and potassium recommendations. Apply 40 to 60 lb/ac nitrogen at planting for pure stands only. Do not apply N for mixtures with clovers but use proper legume inoculation techniques. Apply 150 to 200 lb/ac. N to pure -stand fescue for hay production; reduce N rates by 25% to 50% for grazing. Apply N Feb. 1 to Mar. 20 and Aug. 20 to Sept. 30, with equal amounts in each window. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for additional information or consult your regional agronomist or extension agent for assistance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 16212o Database Version 1.0; Date .Printed: 03-12-2004 Crop Note Page 1 of 4 The following crop note applies to field(s): 10, 6, 7, 8, 9, Zone 2 Cereal/Annual Rye Overseeded — Hay CEREAL RYE The cereal rye should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling rye into short (less than 3 inches tall) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short Bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bennuda prior to August 31. An application of 50 lbs/acre of Plant Available N (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30. An additional 50 lbs.acre of PAN may be applied in Fcbruary-March. If rye growth is harvested on time and does not significantly shade the Bermuda, PAN rates for the subsequent bermuda crop are based on realistic yields of bermuda. A harvest is required prior to heading or April 7, which ever comes first. This is necessary to minimize the potential for shading Bermuda and reducing its yields. ANNUAL RYEGRASS Annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short (less than 3 inches tall) bermudagrass sod_ If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An application of 50 lbs/acre of PAN may be applied between September 15 and October 30. An additional 50 lbs. acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If additional PAN is applied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the bermuda must be reduced by a corresponding amount. This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will reduce bermuda yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is required by heading or April 7, which ever comes first to prevent shading of emerging bermuda during April -May period. To favor the production of the bermuda, additional harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height. ........................... --------------------------- ------------------------------ ....... ...............-• .... ...--- --- ............... 162120 Database Version 1ff Date Printed: 03-12-2004 Crop Note Page 2 of 4 The following crop note applies to field(s): 12, 13, 14, 15, Zone 3, Zone 4, Zone 5, zone 6 Bermudagrass Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Moderately Well Drained.

Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced I' to 1.5' in row. For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus, potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 lb/ac N in the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240 lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts. Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing.

The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling rye into short (less than 3 inches tall) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An application of 501bs/acre of Plant Available N (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30. An additional 50 lbs.acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If rye growth is harvested on time and does not significantly shade the bermuda, PAN rates for the subsequent bermuda crop are based on realistic yields of bermuda. A harvest is required prior to heading or April 7, which ever comes first. This is necessary to minimize the potential for shading bermuda and reducing its yields. ANNUAL RYEGRASS Annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short (less than 3 inches tall) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement.

An application of 50 lbs/acre of PAN may be applied between September 15 and October 30. An additional 50 lbs. acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If additional PAN is applied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the bermuda must be reduced by a corresponding amount. This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will reduce bermuda yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is required by heading or April 7, which ever comes first to prevent shading of emerging berrnuda during April -May period. To favor the production of the bermuda, additional harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------••--- - --- 162120 Database Version 1.0� Date Printed: 03-12-2004 Crop Note Page 4 of 4 T 7-1 F i 1-,d,- Cali Wti b:n, ribic-ed dees- ;+_ �4..- _ for A eil,W6-tteWAtei -Aiirpircation,-E i e quipjr W K 1W OSE,,A,'..

Technical Specialist certifying waste management plans after September 1, 1996, must also certify that operators have been provided calibration and adjustment guidance for all land application equipment. The rules apply to irrigation sys- tems as well as all other types of liquid, slurry, or solid application equipment. Information presented in manufacturers' charts are based on average op- erating conditions for relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and applica- tion rates change over time as equipment ages and components wear. As a result, equipment should be field calibrated regularly to ensure that applica- tion rates and uniformity are consistent with values used during the system design and given in manufacturers' specifications. Field calibration involves collection and measurement of the material being applied at several locations in the application area. This publication contains step-by-step guidelines for field calibration of hard hose and cable tow traveler irrigation systems. Operating an irrigation system differently than assumed in the design will alter the application rate, uniformity of coverage, and subsequently the applica- tion uniformity. Operating with excessive pressure results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. Pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use, nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening, which will increase the discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter. Clogging of nozzles or crystallization of main lines can result in increased pump pressure but reduced flow at the gun. Plugged intakes will reduce operating pressure. An operating pressure below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application uniformity. Field calibration helps ensure that nutri- ents from animal waste are applied uniformly and at proper rates. The calibration of a hard hose or cable tow system involves setting out collection containers, operating the system, measuring the amount of wastewater collected in each container, and then computing the average application volume and application unifor- mity. An in -line flow meter installed in the main irrigation line provides a good estimate of the total volume pumped from the lagoon during each irriga- tion cycle. The average application depth can be determined by dividing the pumped volume by the application area. The average application depth is computed from the formula: ,average application depth (inches) = Volume pumped (gallons) 27,154 (gal/ac-in) X Application area (acres) The average application depth is the average amount applied throughout the field. Unfortunately, sprinklers do not apply the same depth of water throughout their wetted diameter. Under normal operating conditions, application depth decreases towards the outer perimeter of the wetted diameter. Big gun sprinkler systems typically have overlap based on a design sprinkler spacing of 70 to 80 percent of the wetted sprinkler diameter to compen- 0 Field Calibration Procedures for Animal Wastewater Application Equipment sate for the declining application along the outer perimeter. When operated at the design pressure, this overlap results in acceptable application uniformity. When operated improperly, well -designed systems will not provide acceptable application uniformity. For example, if the pressure is too low, the applica- tion depth will be several times higher near the center of sprinkler and water will not be thrown as far from the sprinkler as indicated in manufacturers' charts. Even through the average application depth may be acceptable, some areas receive excessively t high application while others receive no application at all. When applying wastewater high in nutrients, it is important to determine the application uniformity. Collection containers distributed throughout the application area must be used to evaluate application uniformity. Many types of containers can be used to collect flow and determine the application uniformity. Standard rain gauges work best and are recom- mended because they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application depth. Pans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross section can be used provided the container is deep enough (at least 4 inches deep) to prevent splash and excessive evapora- tion, and the liquid collected can be easily trans- ferred to a scaled container for measuring. All con- tainers should be the same size and shape to simplify application depth computations. All collection containers should be set up at the same height relative to the height of the sprinkler nozzle (discharge elevation). Normally, the top of each container should be no more than 36 inches above the ground. Collectors should be located so that there is no interference from the crop. The crop canopy should be trimmed to preclude interference or splash into the collection container. Calibration should be performed during periods of low evaporation. Best times are before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m. on days with light wind (less than 5 miles per hour). On cool, cloudy days the calibration can be performed anytime when wind velocity is less than 5 mph. The volume (depth) collected during calibration should be read soon after the sprinkler gun cart has moved one wetted radius past the collection gauges to minimize evaporation from the rain gauge. Where a procedure must be performed more than once, containers should be read and values recorded immediately after each setup. Calibration Setup for Hard Hose and Cable Tow Traveling Guns Hard hose and cable tow traveling guns are calibrated by placing a row (transect) of collection containers or c gauges perpendicular to the direction of travel, Figure 1. The outer gauge on each end of the row should extend past the furthest distance the gun will throw wastewater to ensure that the calibration is performed on the "full" wetted diameter of the gun sprinkler. Multiple rows increase the accuracy of the calibration. Containers should be spaced no further apart than 1/16 of the wetted diameter of the gun sprinkler not to exceed 25 feet. At least 16 gauges should be used in the calibration. Sixteen gauges will be adequate except for large guns where the wetted diameter exceeds 400 feet. (Maximum recommended spacing between gauges, 25 feet X 16 = 400 feet.) Gauges should be set at least one full wetted diameter of throw from either end of the travel lane, as shown in Figure 1. The system should be operated such that the minimum travel distance of the gun cart exceeds the wetted diameter of throw. Application volumes should be read as soon as the last gauges stop being wetted. 0 • • 0 E Row of collection > gauges Direction of travel HARD HOSE AND CABLE TOW TRAVELER IRRIGATION SYSTEMS Reel cart > Left Right 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 o a 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Gun cart Wetted diameter�_� (320 feet) At feast one wetted diameter end of field Figure 1.

Add the amounts collected in all gauges and divide by the number of gauges within the effective area. This is the average application depth (inches) within the effective lane spacing. Sum of amounts collected in all gauges Average application depth = Number of gauges within effective width 10. Calculate the deviation depth for each gauge. The deviation depth is the difference between each individual gauge value and the average value of all gauges (#7). Record the absolute value of each deviation depth. Absolute value means the sign of the number (negative sign) is dropped and all values are treated as positive. The symbol for absolute value is a straight thin line. For example, 121 means treat the number 2 as an absolute value. It does not mean the number 121. Because this symbol can lead to misunderstandings, it is not used with numbers in the worksheets at the end of this publication. The symbol is used in formulas in the text. Deviation depth = ]Depth collected in gauge i — average application depth] "i" refers to the gauge number 11. Add amounts in #10 to get "sum of the deviations" from the average depth and divide by the number of gauges to get the average deviation. Sum of deviations (add amounts computed in #10) Average deviation depth = Number of gauges within effective lane spacing 12.The precipitation rate (inches/hour) is computed by dividing the average application depth (inch) (#9) by the application time (hours) (#5) Average application depth (inch) Precipitation rate = Application time (hours) • CALIBRATION PROCEDURES (continued) 13. Compute the average travel speed Average travel speed = Distance traveled (feet) Time (minutes) 14. Determine the application uniformity. The application uniformity is often computed using the mathematical formula referred to as the Christiansen Uniformity Coefficient It is computed as follows: Average depth (#9) — Average deviation (#11) U, = X 100 Average depth (#9) 15. Interpret the calibration results. The higher the index value, the more uniform the application. An index of 100 would mean that the uniformity is perfect — the exact same amount was collected in every gauge. For travelers with proper overlap and operated in light wind, an application uniformity greater than 85 is common. Application uniformity between 70 to 85 is in the "good" range and is acceptable for wastewater application. Generally, an application uniformity below 70 is considered unacceptable for wastewater irrigation using travelers. If the computed Uc is less than 70, system adjustments are required.

As a result, equipment should be field calibrated regularly to ensure that applica- tion rates and uniformity are consistent with values used during the system design and given in manufacturers' specifications. Field calibration is a simple procedure involving collection 'and measurement of the material being applied at several locations in the application area. This publication con- tains step-by-step guidelines for field calibration of stationary sprinkler irrigation systems. Operating an irrigation system differently than assumed in the design will alter the application rate, uniformity of coverage, and subsequently the appli- cation uniformity. Operating with excessive pressure results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. Pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use, nozzle wear results in an in- crease in the nozzle opening, which will increase the discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter. Clogging of nozzles or crystallization of main lines can result in increased pump pressure but reduced flow at the sprinkler. Plugged intakes will reduce operating pressure. An operating pressure below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application uniformity. Field calibration helps ensure that nutrients from animal waste are applied uniformly and at proper rates. The calibration of a stationary sprinkler irrigation system involves setting out collection containers, operating the system, measuring the amount of wastewater collected in each container, and then computing the average depth of application (applica- tion volume) and application uniformity. An in -line flow meter installed in the main irrigation line provides a good estimate of the total volume pumped from the lagoon during each irriga- tion cycle. The average application depth can be determined by dividing the pumped volume by the application area. The average application depth is computed from the formula: Average application depth (inches) = Volume pumped (gallons) 27,154 (gal/ac-in) X Application area (acres) The average application depth is the average amount applied throughout the field. Unfortunately, sprinklers do not apply the same depth of water throughout their wetted area.Urider normal operat- ing conditions, application depth decreases towards the outer perimeter of the wetted diameter. Station- ary sprinkler systems are designed to have overlap of 50 to 65 percent of the wetted sprinkler diameter to compensate for the declining application along the 03 Field Calibration Procedures for Animal Wastewater Application Equipment outer perimeter. When operated at the design pres- sure, this overlap results in acceptable application uniformity. When operated improperly, well -designed systems will not provide acceptable application uniformity. For example, if the pressure is too low, the application depth will be several times higher near the center of sprinkler and water will not be thrown as far from the sprinkler as indicated in manufacturers' charts. Even through the average application depth may be accept- able,. some areas receive excessively high application while others receive no application at all. When applying wastewater high in nutrients, it is important to determine the application uniformity. Collection containers distributed throughout the application area must be used to evaluate application uniformity. Many types of containers can be used to collect flow and determine the application unifor- mity. Standard rain gauges work best and are recom- mended because they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application depth. Pans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross section can be used, provided the container is deep enough (at least 4 inches deep) to prevent splash and excessive evapora- tion, and the liquid collected can be easily trans- ferred to a scaled container for measuring. All con- tainers should be the same size and shape. All collection containers should be set up at the same height relative to the height of the sprinkler nozzle (discharge elevation). Normally, the top of each container should be no more than 36 inches above the ground. Collectors should be located so that there is no interference from the crop. The crop canopy should be trimmed to preclude interference or splash into the collection container. Calibration should be performed during periods of low evaporation. Best times are before 10 a.m. or after 4 p.m. on days with light wind (less than 5 miles per hour. On cool, cloudy days the calibration can be performed any time when wind velocity is less than 5 miles per hour. General Guidelines for Stationary Sprinklers Rain gauges or other collection containers should be spaced in a grid pattern fully enclosing the "effective" wetted area defined by the sprinkler spacing. The most common spacing pattern for stationary sprin- klers is a square spacing where the distance between sprinklers is the same as the spacing between laterals. The spacing between sprinklers and laterals is nor- mally between 50 to 65 percent of the sprinkler wetted diameter specified by the manufacturer. Collection gauges should be placed one-fourth the lateral line length from the main and no further apart than one-fourth the wetted sprinkler radius or effective sprinkler spacing. (For example, if the effective spacing is 80 feet, spacing between gauges should be no more than 20 feet). The grid pattern and number of gauges required to complete the calibration depends on the pattern of operating -the irrigation system. The size of the calibration area should be no less than the "effective" area of one sprinkler. When sprinklers are arranged in a rectangular or square pattern with proper overlap, an "effective area" receives flow from four sprinklers. Thus, a minimum of four sprinklers should be included in the calibration. The reliability of the calibration generally im- proves as more sprinklers are included in the calibra- tion area. If all sprinklers contributing flow to the calibration area are functioning correctly, it is neces- sary to include only the minimum number of sprinklers as described in the preceding paragraph. But, a malfunctioning sprinkler can greatly influence the calibration results. Its effect on the calibration depends on the calibration setup and number of sprinklers being calibrated, the malfunctioning sprinkler's position within the calibration area, the direction of the prevailing wind, and the nature of the malfunction. For these reasons; it is extremely important to observe the performance of every sprinkler contributing to the calibration while the calibration is being performed and to record any obvious performance irregularities. The more sprin- klers that can be included in the calibration, the more representative the calibration results will be of the entire field and the less influence one malfunc- tioning sprinkler will have on the calibration results. The volume (depth) collected during calibration should be read as soon as a zone or sprinkler is shut off to minimize evaporation from the rain gauge. Where a procedure must be performed more than once, (Setups 3, 4, or 5 described below) containers should be read and values recorded immediately after each different set up. Operating patterns affect collection container layout and calibration procedures and results. Typical 0 patterns for stationary sprinklers include: 1. Square sprinkler spacing LT 511 operated as a block (two or more adjacent laterals operating at the same time) Figure 1 or Figure 2. The calibration area may L2 be positioned or centered `- 521 between the two laterals la as shown in either Figure 1 or Figure 2. Four sprinklers contribute flow to the L3 calibration area in the setup S31 shown in Figure 1, while.six Calibration area loc sprinklers contribute for the lateral length from setup shown in Figure 2. If all sprinklers are function- ing properly, similar results would be obtained with either setup. In case 1, with no wind effects, all four sprinklers should contribute equal flow to the calibration area (provided all sprinklers are functioning properly). If Ll S11 one of the four sprinklers is functioning improperly, the calibration results are not biased by its position within the calibration area. >_.2 In case 2, six sprinklers c contribute flow to the .c 521 calibration area, but their contribution is not equal. Sprinklers S13 and S, L3 contribute much more flow to the calibration area than sprinklers S12 S14 S22 or S24' ('The first number refers to the lateral number and the second number refers to the sprinkler number along the lateral.) The setup shown in Figure 2 provides the advantage of more sprinklers contributing to the calibration, but the disadvantage of the results potentially being biased by sprinklers S13 and S23 if they are malfunctioning, STATIONARY SPRINKLER IRRIGATION SYSTEM 16 Catch 512 I } ,`S13 I 1 S14 522 ` J�% 523 ` , I 524 J SzLa�ral Catch can spacing Calibration area S32 S33 S34 S35 aced 1/4Spdnper m main lateral line I� spacing �I calibration area = Sprinkler spacing x Lateral spacing Figure 1.

Since stationary big guns should not be oper- ated "head to head." (two or more sprinklers throw- ing water on the same area simultaneously); the procedure must be repeated several times. Collection gauges may be centered about one gun sprinkler. This setup requires that the procedure be performed three times, once while Gun 2 operates, again when Gun 3 operates, and a third time when Gun 4 operates. Collection gauges may also be centered between Gun 2 and 3 or Guns 3 and 4 as shown in Figure 6. (Actual location depends on the length of the lateral). In this setup, the procedure would be performed twice since only two guns or gun locations contribute to the calibration. CASE I.

Determine the necessary spacing between collection gauges (1/4 the sprinkler spacing). For an effective sprinkler spacing of 80 feet, the rain gauge spacing should not exceed 20 feet. (80 ft / 4 = 20 ft). Gauges closest to the sprinklers should be placed a distance of 1 /2 the gauge spacing from the sprinkler.

A change of address was sent to our office for Neuhoff Farms, Inc. I believe the only farm they own in our region is Advanced Genetics Farm in Onslow County. In the database, this should be Facility # 67-1. 1 am not sure if this would be for all Neuoff own farms. I am also assuming that you are the one who can change information in the database.

Neuho l� Jr. President To: Stoney Mathis From: Jimmy Neuhoff Date: 1/7/02 Subject: Information for the Advanced Genetics farm Enclosed is the permitting information Gus Simmons provided concerning our Advanced Genetics farm in Richlands. One sheet shows "before dike repairs" and the other "after dike repairs." The dike repairs were completed this fall as you saw during your last visit. Therefore, the `before dike repairs" sheet should not be applicable to our permitting process. You mentioned at your last visit that it may be possible to permit the farm as it is. Gus had mentioned than we need to remove sludge from.the lagoons and we are going to start that process this month with microbial digestion. QVe are told it will be spring before the microbes reach a high level of activity and digest the appropriate amount of sludge. Please give me a call when you know how our permit will be handled.

He has indicated that he will contact Gus Simmons, formally of BOC, to contact you regarding this permit & lagoon issue. Gus works for an engineering firm here in Wilmington. Jimmy indicated that all contract growers for Neuhoff have been sold to Carolina & Howard. Point of contact is Prentice Herring at 252-568-3600. May want to pass this info along.

It was observed that the wastewater application rate applied to your spray field is beyond that allowed in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. In addition, the required lagoon liquid level markers need to be properly leveled and you need to begin keeping weekly lagoon level records. As I discussed with Mr. Allen Benton during the inspection, excessive hydraulic application may be violation of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP), and your Animal Operations General Permit. Subsequent infractions may result in a Notice of Violation which may include further enforcement. The CAWMP_limits the loading rate of 0.35 inches per hour with a maximum of 1.0 inches total per application. I would recommend having the irrigation system calibrated by an appropriate technical specialist. Lagoon level records must be kept on a weekly basis. Eroded and bare areas in the spray field will need continued work to eliminate sedimentation. Any assistance required in planning and implementing these or other appropriate best management practices may be obtained from your service company or by contacting the local Soil and Water Conservation District. Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes and Rules to discharge wastewater to the surface waters of the State without a permit and/or to fail to follow a certified waste management plan. The Division of Water Quality has the authority to Ievy a civil penalty of not more than $10,000 per day per violation. 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 i Mr. Jimmy Neuhoff Page 2.

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. IRR1, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLURI, 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.

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 avaialabie 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.

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 2640 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 1.58 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.

Pane 5 of 10 1 INARRATIVE OF OPERATION Your waste utilization plan calls for Bermuda Hay as your primary crop and as the winter ' annual rye grain. The lagoons now act as two stage lagoons and your sampling shows that the nitrogen reduction is responding well to the two -stage treatment. You have 180 ' days of storage; however, we recommend that no more than 90 days of storage be used without spray irrigating. The EMC sixth guidance memo (revision two) recommends that spray irrigation not be applied to winter annuals or rye over -seeding during December or ' January. You may spray during that time but are encouraged to control your lagoon capacity not to require spraying during that time except during extreme conditions. Your lagoon levels should be at their lowest by the end of November. 1 If you spray irrigate during December and January, you must harvest all winter annuals by the time they head or by April 7. It must receive an additional harvest by the time the ' canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches high. Your facility produces 12,960 pounds of P.A.N. per year plus 2,640 pounds of P.A.N. ' from sludge per year for a total of 15,600 pounds. The commitment you have made to providing permanent pasture allows you the maximum nitrogen uptake and with over - seeding the ability to spray year around if needed. Your actual sampling will produce ' lower nitrogen amounts than used in this plan that may allow some of your pasture not to require over -seeding. The nitrogen amount in the sludge may offset the reduction in the second stage liquid. It is our recommendation that you slurry your sludge and try to ' reduce it to below one foot depth and apply at agronomic rates annually. You will need to over -seed 100% of your pasture until sludge has been stabilized before considering not 1 over -seeding any pastureland. 1 LAGOON VOLUME COMPUTATIONS The owner furnished us with data performed by the N.C.S.W.C. concerning surveyed and computed volumes. We used their data and the prismoidal formula to compute and verify the volumes of the four lagoons. The total volume for each lagoon has been computed to the one -foot freeboard elevation. Lagoons one and four are the primary receiving lagoons from the floors. Lagoon four gravity overflows in lagoon three and from there into lagoon two by a submerged gravity pipe. Lagoon one could flow either/or to lagoons two and three. We requested Neuhoff Farms to dump only into lagoon three from lagoon one and leave lagoon two to function as a third stage to lagoons one and four. Lagoons one and four are above lagoon three and are not static rather in and overflow situation. Lagoons three and two are static. All the lagoons meet both the volume and depth requirements to operate as a lagoon. We have chosen to consider all four lagoons acting together as a unit. Lagoons one and four receive the waste from 3,000 sows with the ability to function properly as lagoons to accommodate 1,612 sows. This requires lagoons two and three accommodate the remaining 1,915 sows. Lagoons one and four acting as waste holding and pre-treatment ponds can accommodate the required 1,299,000 cubic feet of DTV and still have a freeboard if over twelve inches; 3,000 heads x 433 pounds/head = 1,299,000 lbs.

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, tmethod of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic ' crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. '. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff ' leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to 'Buffers" required by DEM. (See FOTG Stantard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers). ' 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. ' 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a ' season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the NRCS Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.) 1 1 *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. S. 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: fho ni ifor nearirnofor of fho lanrl area nnfn which %arocfo is onnliorl fmm a lannnn fhaf is a Pans 7 of 10 ' 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 ParaRofV) 11 1 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) 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. * Liquid Systems Pam 4of10 NAME OF FARM: A.G. Center 1 1 OWNER 1 MANAGER AGREEMENT I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specifications and the operation and maintenance precedures estalished in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above. I (we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and/or storage system or construction of new facilities will require a new utilization plan and a new certification to be submitted to DEM before the new animals are stocked. I (we) understand that I must own or have acces to equipment, primarily irrigation equipment, to land apply the animal waste described in this waste utilization plan. This equipment must be available at the appropriate pumping time such that no discharge occurs from the lagoon in a 25-year 1-day storm event. I also certify that the waste will be applied on the land according to this plan at the appropriate times and at rates that no runoff occurs.

Please address the following by March 16, 2000: 1. Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) incorporates current guidance allowing for up to 100 pounds of nitrogen per acre to be applied to small grain overseed under strict management practices. As mentioned in the guidance memo (enclosed) the last application to bermuda must he prior to August 31. The application of waste to the small grain must be done in split applications of 50 pounds nitrogen applied between September 15 and October 30 and another 50 pounds nitrogen applied between February and March. Currently your WUP lists the application window for Bermuda as April through September and the application window for small grain as September through April. These application windows should be revised to to reflect the current guidance for application to small grain overseed at increased amounts. 2. Best Management Practices (BMPs) that are to he implemented at this facility should be identified (check the appropriate BMPs) on the Mortality Management Checklist (enclosed). 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 March 16, 2000 or the Division will return your application as incomplete in accordance with 15A N.C.A.C. 2H .0200 and your facility will be considered to be operating without a permit.

Please address the following by June 30, 2000: Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) incorporates current guidance allowing for up to 100 pounds of nitrogen per acre to be applied to small grain overseed under strict management practices. As mentioned in the guidance memo (enclosed) the last application to bermuda must be prior to August 31. The application of waste to the small grain must be done in split applications of 50 pounds nitrogen applied between September 15 and October 30 and another 50 pounds nitrogen applied between February and March. Currently your WUP lists the application window for Bermuda as April through September and the application window for small grain as September through April. These application windows should be revised to to reflect the current guidance for application to small grain overseed at increased amounts. 2. Best Management Practices (BMPs) that are to be implemented at this facility should be identified (check the appropriate BMPs) on the Mortality Management Checklist (enclosed). 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 June 30, 2000 or the Division will return your application as incomplete in accordance with 15A N.C.A.C. 2H .0200 and your facility will be considered to be operating without a permit. Please be advised that operation of the subject animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and will subject you to the enforcement authority of the Environmental Management Commission.

NEUHUFF FARMS The purpose of this plan is to provide guidelines for carrying out the routine operation and maintenance work needed to keep this swine waste management system functioning as planned. Routine maintenance adds to beauty, usefulness, and permanence. A: Wast_Tre ment a q n The routine maintenance of the lagoon involves the foliowing: 1: Maintenance of a vegetation cover on the dike top and side slopes: KY_ TaII Fescue (100 Ibs/ac% or Common Bermuda C2S lbslac) is being established on these areas. Beginning in 1990 and each year and thereafter, the dike should be fertilized with 800 pounds of 10-10-10 per acre to maintain a vigorous stand. 2: Control of brush and trees on the dine. This may be done by mowing, spraying, or chopping, or a combination of all three. This will need to be done at least once each year and possibly twice in years favorable to heavy growth of vegetation. Maintenance inspections of the lagoon should be made during the initial filling of the lagoon and at least annually. Items to Lie checked should include, as a minimum, the following: 1: Waste Inlet Pipes, Overflow Pipes a: coed i t i crn of pipes (1) separation of joints (2) cracks or breaks 2: Pool Area a: undesirable vegetative growth b: floating or lodged debris J 4 3: Embankment a: settlement, cracking or ",jug" holes b: side slope stability — slunips or bulges c: erosion d: rodent damage 4: Transfer Pump Bs_ Maw gemer�t and,_ I„gnd a I i cat i on oL waste nutr i ents Pumping of waste shall be on 180 day cycle. Permanent storage shall not be pumped below E feet < 7' total depth) in order to insure anaerobic action. Elev. 49.3 Ground cond;}ions need to be evaluated prior to beginning irrigation. Waste should not be applied to Either saturated soils or to lands on which the soil surface is frozen, since waste may run off to subsurface drainage system. Wind conditions should be observed to avoid drift and odor problems. Subsurface outlets and downstream drainage should be constantly monitored. Maximum application rates should consider the intake capability of the particular soils that the waste is applied on. For application on Craven, Lenoir, Bladen soils, the maximum application rate is .35 inches per hour with cover and .30 inches per hour mare. Application rate an corer is 2.95 inches and on wheat is 1.9 inches. The waste material should be analyzed every year to determine its nutrient content. A soil test of the area of application should be made annually to insure the waste is applied as reasonably and practically possible to recommended rates.

Actual total acres iri 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 nurtudent rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 2640 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 gyp. 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 1.58 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.

Pang 5 of 10 NARRATIVE OF OPERATION Your waste utilization plan calls for Bermuda -Hay as your primary crop and as the winter annual rye grain. The lagoons now act as two stage lagoons and your sampling shows that the nitrogen reduction is responding well to the two -stage treatment. You have 180 days of storage; however, we recommend that no more than 90 days of storage be used without spray irrigating. The EMC sixth guidance memo (revision two) recommends that spray irrigation not be applied to winter annuals or rye over -seeding during December or January. You may spray during that time but are encouraged to control your lagoon capacity not to require spraying during that time except during extreme conditions. Your lagoon levels should be at their lowest by the end of November. If you spray irrigate during December and January, you must harvest all winter annuals by the time they head or by April 7. It must receive an additional harvest by the time the canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches high. Your facility produces 12,960 pounds of P.A.N. per year plus 2,640 pounds of P.A.N. from sludge per year for a total of 15,600 pounds. The commitment you have made to providing permanent pasture allows you the maximum nitrogen uptake and with over - seeding the ability to spray year around if needed. Your actual sampling will produce lower nitrogen amounts than used in this plan that may allow some of your pasture not to require over -seeding. The nitrogen amount in the sludge may offset the reduction in the second stage liquid. It is our recommendation that you slurry your sludge and try to reduce it to below one foot depth and apply at agronomic rates annually. You will need to over -seed 100% of your pasture until sludge has been stabilized before considering not over -seeding any pastureland. Your WUP Table I gives you the option of spraying your BH through September and allowing you to apply only 50 pounds of N between September and April on the WA. When not applying sludge, you are not required to over seed all your acreage. You must decide before August 31 the amount of over sewing you will install. Should you over seed with WA and want to apply 100 pounds of nitrogen, you must stop spraying the BH by August 31. You must spray between September 15 and October 30 at 50 pounds and another 50 pounds during February and March. ` "���Ft i . _' „ i�' y' ¢, •y �-`'emu•—�,�_ , �,; . n c � r '�w,r � _ r� •��yr �• � Ta '3r'�""'�� '�•.� .. _„�y. �/ ` } �'} e ��jib,�5. r�uUi ft `+ei�'�f r''•,�` _G` N '8� •P;,,� ,` �� \ \ .y7 ^��r'7vr fv x=J• 1i �. r r-la F�.r T '`'' 3'r •'� c1 iC ""/� .r,.•✓ a �j�Ts=''AR i.y ..

Neuhoff Farms, Advanced Genetics operates a swine animal operation located adjacent to NCSR 1225, in Onslow County. It is recommended that appropriate enforcement actions be taken against Neuhoff Farms, Advanced Genetics, 408 Hargett Street, Richlands, North Carolina, 28574. A re -inspection of this facility on March 27, 1996 by DEM staff found a discharge to an unnamed tributary (UT) of the New River. The discharge was observed from runoff due to excessive application of wastewater onto a spray field. The runoff entered a farm pond from which an overflow pipe discharges into the UT. Water chemistry samples revealed elevated levels of Fecal Colifor n Bacteria, ammonia and nutrients being discharged into the UT. This discharge is considered to be willful and intentional. The lagoon had been allowed to rise to a critical level. The spray application site had become super saturated resulting in a large runoff event while the spray application operator was in the field supervising the application. In addition, the discharge of waste to surface waters occurred through a man made conveyance. Advanced Genetics was designated as a Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation on November 15, 1991 as a result of a documented discharge on October 21, 1991. On February 15, 1993, Advanced Genetics was assessed &r civil penalty of $3366.50 in response to another documented discharge of waste on October 21, 1992.

FOR A VIOLATION OF G.S. 143-215.1(a) (1) MAKING AN OUTLET INTO WATERS OF THE STATE it NORTH CAROLINA ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT COMMISSION File No. CD } } } } FINDINGS AND DECISION AND ASSESSMENT OF CIVIL PENALTIES Acting pursuant to North Carolina General Statute (G.S.) 143-215:6A, I, A. Preston Howard, Jr., Director of the Division of Environmental Management (DEM), make the following: 1. FINDINGS OF FACT: A_ Advanced Genetics, Neuhoff Farms, Inc. is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of North Carolina and operates a animal feeding operation located along NCSR 1225, in Onslow County, North Carolina B. On March 27, 1996, DEM staff observed a discharge of wastewater from an animal waste land application system entering a farm pond and flowing into an unnamed tributary of the New River in the White Oak River Basin. C. In a letter dated November 25, 1991, the Director, Division of Environmental Management (DEM), notified Advanced Genetics, Neuhoff Farms, Inc. by certified mail that said animal operation had been designated a "Concentrated Animal Feedlot Operation" (CAFO) in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H. 0122 and 40 CFR 122.23. D. The Director's letter stated that as a result of the CAFO designation, all discharges of animal waste to waters of the State must be permanently eliminated within 60 days or an application for a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit must be submitted. E. The Director's letter also stated that thiCAFO designation could be contested by filing a petition. for an administrative hearing in the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAK) within 30 days of receipt of the designation letter. a F. Advanced Genetics, Neuhoff Farms, InjL neither applied for an NPDES permit' nor petitioned for an administrative hearing to contest the CAFO designation. G. On March 27, 1996, personnel from DEM's Wilmington Regional Office inspected the animal operation and observed waste from the land application system flowing into a farm pond, thus entering an outlet and flowing into an unnamed tributary of the New River in the White Oak River Basin. H. The waters of the New River are classified as Class "C NSW" waters of the State. I. On October 30, 1992, the_DEM Regional Supervisor sent Advanced Genetics, Neuhoff Farms, Inc. a Notice of Violation stating that discharging animal waste without a permit was a violation of G.S. 143-•215.1. The Notice ordered the immediate elimination of all discharges and stated that an enforcement action was being prepared against the operation. J. The costs to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totalled $498.23. Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following: H. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: A. Advanced Genetics, Neuhoff Farms, Inc. is a "person" within the meaning of G.S.143-215.6A and G.S. 143-212(4). B. The New River constitutes waters of the State within the meaning of G.S. 143- 215.1(a)(1) and G.S. 143-212(6)_ C. Advanced Genetics, Neuhoff Farms, Inc.'s animal operation, a properly designated CAFO, was required to obtain an NPDES pennit prior to discharging animal wastes into waters of the State. D. Advanced Genetics, Neuhoff Farms, Inc.'s discharge of animal waste into waters of the State without a permit on or about March 27, 1996 was a violation of G.S. 143- 215.1(a)(1). E. A civil penalty of up to $10,000.00 per day per violation may be assessed pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(b). F. The State's enforcement costs in this matter may be assessed against Advanced Genetics, Neuhoff Farms, Inc. pursuan;:to G.S. 143-215.3(a)(9) and G.S. 143B- 282.1(b) (8) . ic G. The Director, Division of Environmen4Management, pursuant to delegation provided for by G.S. 143-215.6A(h), has the authority to assess civil penalties in this matter. Based upon the above Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, I make the following: III. DECISION: Accordingly, Advanced Genetics, Neuhoff Farms, Inc. is hereby assessed a civil penalty of: $ for making an outlet into -the waters of the State in violation of G.S. 143-215.1(a) (1). TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY, which is percent of the maximum penalty authorized by G.S. 143-215.6A. $ 498.23 Enforcement costs. $ TOTAL AMOUNT DUE As required by G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount.of the penalty I have considered the factors listed in G.S.143B-282.1(b), which are: (1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property resulting from the violation; (2) The duration and gravity of the violation; (3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality; (4) The cost of rectifying the damage; (5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance; (6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally; (7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and (8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures-. (Date) A. Preston Howard, Jr.,_P.E., Director Division of Environmen ; Management s Awgsldavehlons1ow167- I .zd DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT ENFORCEMENT CASE ASSESSMENT FACTORS Type: (CD) Violator: Advanced Genetics, Neuhoff Farms, Inc. Address: 408 Hargett Street Richlands, North Carolina 28574 Regional Office: Wilmington 1. The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property resulting from the -violation: The discharge from the farm pond on March 27, 1996 displayed levels of fecal coliform bacteria of 180 colonies per 100 ml. Levels of other constituents found were as follows: Ammonia Nitrogen, NH3-N 24.3 mg/L TKN 27.6 mg/L NO3 + NO2 1.4 mg/L Total P 11.3 mg/L The waste applied to the field has been treated through a three stage lagoon system. While any discharge of animal waste to surface waters is unacceptable, in this situation the waste has been cycled through an aeration process to a fourth stage settling lagoon.' This additional treatment may account for the levels shown by the chemical analysis. 2. The duration and gravity of the violation: The spray field runoff had been occurring for an undetermined duration. The spray guns on the field were shut down as soon as DEM staff appeared on the site. Thirty minutes later when the spray field was inspected, the surface of the field and the area directly below the spray field were still completely saturated with wastewater some 1 inch deep in sheet flow coming from the field. The ditch leading to the farm pond was continuing to flow full with velocity (photo). 3. The effect on ground or surface water quantity or . quality or on air quality: Effects to groundwater and air have not been documented. Water quality impacts were determined by water chemistry tests taken March 29, 1996 4. The cost of rectifying the damage: The cost to rectify cannot be easily estimated. The New River is classified as "C NSW° Waters —of the State and the waste discharge into the receivini stream were found to have high levels of nutrients. 5. The amount of money saved by noncompliance: The amount of money saved by noncompliance is not.known. Land is available for proper irrigation, application equipment is on site and an acceptable cover crop of fescue is growing at this time. 6. Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally: Due to: 1) The estimated length of time for the spray application site to become super saturated, and 2) that the spray application operator was in the field supervising the application, the discharge is considered willful. The lagoon had been allowed to rise to a critical level and the discharge of waste occurred through a man made conveyance. 7. The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority: Advanced Genetics was designated as a Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation on November 15, 1991 as a result of a documented discharge on October 21, 1991. On February 15, 1993, Advanced Genetics was assessed a civil penalty of $3366.50 in response to another documented discharge of waste on October 21, 1992. (CD92-06, attached) 8. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures: The State's enforcement costs totaled $498.23, as follows: Staff Holsinger, 10=hrs. $217.80 Beck, 2 hrs. $ 49.76 Mileage (110 miles@ $0.25 per mile) $ 27.50 Photography (film & Development) $ 5.17 Laboratory costs 2 samples $ 98.00 Administrative costs $100.00 9. Type of violator and general nature of business (i.e. Individual vs. large corporation): Corporation 10. Violators degree of cooperation (including efforts to prevent or restore) or reca-lcitrance: Advanced Genetics has been working tg become compliant with the Division since an inspection on July 27, 1995 revealed two over flow pipes in the third stage lagoon. The pipes had been removed before the last inspection. 11. Mitigating Circumstances: None. Advanced Genetics lagoon freeboard level has been allowed to become critical. While Advanced Genetics is working with the local Soil and Water Distri� to acquire more spray area, the amount of acreage available at this time should be sufficient for application at agronomic rates' if properly managed. 12.

We have contacted Mr. Harry Tyson at the Onslow County ASCS office to aid in calculating the needed acres of grass land to properly dispose of our waste. The total amount of land needed will be changing as we alter the use of our barns at the Advanced Genetics farm. Also, we have contacted Dr. Mac Safley of NCSU about employing his services to help us in establishing a better nutrient management program. He is highly regarded in the hog industry for his skills in nutrient management and I believe that he can have a major impact on our program. I recently moved to North Carolina and assumed my position in charge of our North Carolina operations. I was not aware of the problems that we had on our lagoons until your inspection in Octcber. Our company has always had a strict policy about waste discharge and I was shocked to find tndt we were not in full compliance. I have given David Watkins an official Letter of Reprimand due to his poor management of the waste disposal system at Advanced Genetics and I have included a copy of this letter for you to review. We have invested over $150,000 at the hdvance Genetics farm in lagoons, irrigation equipment, and pasture to properly dispose of the waste. The problem now appears to be the water build up in the lagoons. So we are re -grading around the lagoons to channel the rain water toward the drainage ditch. Also, we are evaluating our water usage in some of the buildings as I believe that we could conserve :pore water and waste less. Mr. Beck, I want you to realize that it is our intention to fully comply with our ZERO runoff policy. I will be visiting our ftrms11�1�. 1706 Woodwind Dr. Greenville, NC 27858 {919} 756-242 operations weekly and I am personally inspecting agement systems to insure that there will be no lieve that your inspection of our farm in October new awareness of the waste management issue and to improve our system.

Richlands, N.C. 28574 Dear David: • November 16, 1992 This is an official Letter of Reprimand concerning your waste management. It is Neuhoff Farms' policy to have absolutely no waste runoff and you violated this policy. I realize that there were several extraordinary events that occurred that con- tributed to the waste water build up, but the end result is that there was a lagoon run over and it was your responsibility to control the water levels. Neuhoff Farms has invested over $150,000 in lagoons, irrigation equipment and pasture establish- ment at your facility to aid in waste water disposal. Since you have experienced difficulties in properly managing this system I have contacted Dr. Mac Saf ley of NCSU to aid us in setting up a program that will insure that our system will not generate a runoff. This. Letter of Reprimand will remain in your file for three years. At the end of three years your waste management perform- ance will be reviewed before this letter is removed.
