Dear Marvin Thigpen:
The Division of Water Resources (Division) received your sludge survey information on January
9, 2015. With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement
for the lagoon at the Wachoverya Farms 42. Due to the amount of treatment volume available,
the Division agrees that a sludge survey is not needed until 2016.
The next sludge survey for this lagoon should be performed. before December 31, 2016. Please
call me at [phone] if you have any questions.
Sincerely,

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of
cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. 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 will 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
the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen. Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for
sludge utilization for ft' indicated accumulation period. 'These estin aces 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 alter trea=cnt and application ofthe effluent At
dean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most uses, the
priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since
nutrient levels are generally very hWA application of sludge must be carefully applied.
Sites must first be evaluated fortheir suitability for sludge application. Idedy, effuent 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 strew and lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a
concern.

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage
capacity available at the end of each month of the plan. Available storage rapacity is caloA-ftd as the
design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net skamW 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 farfW. 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 acannulaeed If available
storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds tine design storage volume
of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval in the waste
utilization plan is inconsisW with the structures temporary storage capacity.

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 H 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).

7. Uquid 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 draft from the site during application. No ponding
should occur in order to control odor and flies.
r
& Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated sods, 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 sites on or after October 1, 1995, shall
not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters.
12. Animal waste shall not be auulied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other
than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public
right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, -drainageways, or
wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied
to prior converted cropland provided 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.
I& 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 checkiis t 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.
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 w ill be required to mark the maid mum
storage volume for waste storage ponds.

22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at
r-- 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 shalt 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 five (5)
years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

Crop Notes
The following crop note applies to field(s): MA P5-A, P6-A
Bermudagrass Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Poorly Drained to Somewhat Poorly Drained.
Adaptation: Effective artificial drainage MUST be in place to ariiieve Realistic Yield Expectations
provided for these soils.
1n the Coastal Plain, hybrid besmudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. I 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 satisfulory to produce full groundcover in one or two years wader good growing conditions.
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
broa€lcasVdisked in sprigs use about 60 butac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus; potassium
and micronubmits to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 1001blac N in the
establishment year m split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240 lblac N
annually in split apphcwxms, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts. Reduce N rates
by 25% far grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization of Pages and
Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or extension agent for
assistance.
The following crap note applies to field(s): P5-A, P&A
Small Grain: CP, Mineral Soil, low -leachable
in the Coastal Plain, oats and barley should be planted from October 15-October 30; and rye firm October
15 November 20. For barley, plant 22 seed/drill row foot and increase the seeding rate by 5% for each
week seeding is delayed beyond the optimum time- See the seeding rates table for applicable seeding rate
modifications in the current NCSU "Small Grain Production Guide". Also, increase the initial seeding rate
by at least 10% when planting no -till. Oats should be planted at 2 bushels/acre and rye at 1-1 1/2
bushes/acre. Plant all these small grains at 1-1 1/2" deep. Adequate depth oontrol is essential. Review the
NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding
variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Apply no more than 301bs/acre N at
planing. Phosphorus and potash recommended by a soil test can also be applied at this tune. The
reruaining N should be applied during the months of February March

r� Wheat: Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, low -leachable
In the Coastal Plain, wheat should be planted from October 20-November 25_ Plant 22 seed/drill row foot
at 1-1 1/2" deep and increase the seeding rate by 5% for each week seeding is delayed beyond the optimum
time. See the seeding rates table for applicable seeding rate modifications m the current NCSU "Small
Grain Production Guide". Also, increase the initial seeding rate by at least 10% when planting no -till.
Adequate depth control when planting the wheat is essential. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green
book" and information fi-om private companies to select a high yielding variety with the characteristics
needed for your area and conditions. Apply no more than 30 lbs/acre N at planting. Phosphorus and potash
reaxnnicnded by a soil test can also be applied at this time. The remaining N should W applied daring the
months of February -March. The total N is dependent on the soil type. Plant samples can be analyzed
during the growing scum to monitor the nutrient status ofthe wheat. Timely managenxit of diseases,
insects and weeds are essential for profitable wheat production.
The following crop note applies to field(s): P 1, P 1-A, P2, P2-A, P3, P3-A, P4, P5, P6
Double -Crop Soybeans, Coastal Plain: Mineral Soil, low -leachable
Double -crop soybeans should be planted as early in June as possible with planting completed by July 4th.
When no -tilling soybeans m small grain straw, it is essential to manage the straw to achieve adequate plant
populations- Review the NCSU Official Variety "green. book" and information from private companies to
select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Plant 2-4
seed/raw foot for 7-8" drills; 4-6 seed/raw foot far 15" rows; 6-8 seed/raw foot for 30" rows and 8-10
seed/row foot for 36" rows. Increase the seeding rate by at least 100/6 for no -till planing. Seeding depth
should be 1-1 1/2" and adequate depth control is essential. Phosphorus arid potash rem for the
soybeans can be applied to the wheat in the Fall. Soybeans produce their own nitrogen and are normally
grown without additions of nitrogen. However, applications of 20-301bs/acre N are sometimes made at
planting to promote early growth and vigor. Tissue samples can be analyzed during the growing season to
monitor the overall nutrient status of the soybeans. Timely management of weeds and insects is essential
for profitable double crop soybean production.

Dear Sir or Madam:
This letter is being written in response to the violations noted by Mr. Stonewall Mathis his February 27,
2002 inspection of Watchoverya Farms.
+ Watchoverya Farm #1, Facility # 67-25:
The Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) for this farm allows 88 lbs. PANlacre,
however our records documented that 89.36 lbs. PAN/acre was actually applied per the waste
management. The Onslow Soil and Water Department is reviewing (and revising where
necessary) my current waste management plan for accuracy and clarity.
• Watchoverya Farms # 2, Facility # 67-13:
A copy of the lagoon design has been obtained from the Onslow Soil and Water Department, filed
with the farm records and is readily available at the farm as stipulated by the CAWMP.
• Watchoverya Farms #1 and #2 — Soil/Waste Samples:
In reference to the waste analysis violation, waste analyses will be performed quarterly to ensure
that all application events will be adequately covered throughout the year.
In the future, all soil samples will be labeled correctly to include all necessary dates to
communicate the month and year the samples were taken.
Please call with any questions or issues.
Sincerely,
d Thigpen

Dear Mr. Thigpen:
This letter is being sent to notify Mervin Thigpen, who holds Certificate of Coverage AWS670025 and
Certificate of Coverage AWS670013 under Swine Waste General Permit AWG100000 issued pursuant to
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1, of violations of the General Permit.
On February 27, 2002, Mr. Stonewall Mathis of the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of
Water:Quality.performed inspections of your animal operations zndthe animal waste management
systems serving tfiese-operations. Please find enclosed copies of the referenced inspection reports.
During the inspections,:Mr. Mathis observed the.following:
For the Watchoverya Farms#1, Facility.Number.67-25:
TheiCertified.Animal-Waste'ManagementPlan. (CAWMP) for -your facility Watchoverya'Farms #1,
facility number 67 25,.allows 881bs-Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)/acre to'be applied to the wheat crop
on pull.6. According.to your'land.application records,.89:36'lbs PAN/acre was applied to pull 6.of 5.64
.acres on the 2001-2002 wheat crop. This is:a violation of Part 11. Operation.and'Maintenance
Requirements, Section 4 of the GeneralPermit.wbidh:says "Land. application rates shall be in accordance
•with the CAWMP..In-no case shall-landapplication rates exceed the Plant Available Nitrogen rate. for
the.rec6iving'crgp or result in: runoff during- any.given.application." Related to. this part, it was noted that
a PAN allowance was-being.used.on:the'apolication records which differs from.the:PAN allowance
provided in:the CAWMP.. You need to ensure that:the:proper.PAN:allowance-from -the CAWMP is
-recorded -on .the application, records.
For the.WatchoveryaFarms #2,.Facillty.Number.67-13:

Permit, COC, certification forms, lessee and landowner agreements, and the CAWMP shall be readily
available at the farm (stored at places such as the farm residence, office, outbuildings, etc.) where animal
waste management activities are being conducted for the life of this permit. These documents shall be
kept in good condition and records shall be maintained in an orderly fashion."
For both Watchoverya Farms #1 and Watchoverya Farms #2: -
1) There is no animal waste analysis conducted within 60 days of several application events which
occurred in July, August, and September 2001 on the 2001 soybean crop at the Watchoverya Farms #2,
and there is no animal waste analysis conducted within 60 days of several application events which
occurred in July and August 2001 on the 2001 soybean crop at the Watchoverya Farms #1. These are
violations of Part III., Monitoring and Reporting Requirements, Section 4 of the General Permit which
says in part "An analysis of the animal waste shall be conducted as close to the time of application as
practical and at least within 60 days (before or after) of the date of application."
2) Part III Section 3 of the General Permit says "A representative Standard ' Soil Fertility Analysis,
including pH, copper, and zinc, shall be conducted annually on each application field receiving animal
waste. The results of these tests shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for a minimum of three
years and shall be made available to the DWQ upon request." For both facilities, Mr. Mathis was unable
to verify from the 'information provided during the inspection that a Standard Soil Fertility Analysis was
performed during 2001. You need to ensure compliance with the referenced permit condition and ensure
that the necessary documentation .is available for confirmation of compliance with this part.
Please submit a.Plan of._Action .wliich addresses -the above noted violations. The. Plan of Action should
include a lisf6f any -and all modifications.that'have been and will be implemented to correct.the noted
violations and prevent their recurrence along with a.timetable for completion of the modifications. The
written Plan of Action must:be submitted to this office vMhin ten -(I 0) days of receipt of this notice.
Be advised that the Division of Water Quality may take further. action in these matters including

Dear Mr. Hunkele:
RECEIVED
OCT 10 2000
BY:
This is to notify NCDENR of a plan of action to rectify problems concerning the Water Quality
inspection on September 12, 2000. The first step taken is to begin maintaining records for a minimum of
three years. In taking the advice of W. Hunkele I will also maintain records for the previous five years.
In reference of failure to notify DWQ of insufficient freeboard I will begin notifiying DWQ
immediately if insufficient freeboard problems occur again. To alleviate this problem I will begin a more
intense pumping schedule to assure that this violation does not occur again. I realize that with the current
waste management plans that I will have to closely monitor my pumping in relation to the restrictive crop
rotations.
I have also.contacted the Onslow Soil and Water office to obtain a more descriptive waste
management plan:. ;Thank you for your cooperation and time.
Sincerely,
Todd Thigpen

Facility Number: 67-13
Onslow County
Dear Mr. Thigpen:
This is to notify Mr. Mervin Thigpen, who holds a non -discharge permit for an animal waste disposal
system pursuant to 15A-NCAC 2H .0200 and North Carolina G.S.143.215.1, of violations of Animal Waste
Permit AWS 670013>.
On September 12, 2000, Mr. Dean Hunkele from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality inspected your animal operation and the animal waste management system serving this
operation. The following violations were noted during the inspection:
'Failure to Maintain Records
An inspection of records supplied to Mr. Hunkele indicated that records from previous years are being
discarded at the end of the calendar year. All records pertaining to the operation of the facility including
waste application records, waste and soil sample reports, and freeboard records are required to be
maintained by the Permittee for a minimum of 3 years. It is highly recommended that such records be
maintained for at least 5 years. Failure to maintain such records is a violation of your General Permit AWS
670013 under Part 111. Monitoring and Reporting Requirements. Section 5.
2. Failure to Notify DWQ of Insufficient (Freeboard
During the inspection it was noted from your weekly freeboard records that you had insufficient freeboard
in at least one of your lagoons as recently as July 27, 2000. Insufficient freeboard is a violation of your
General Permit AWS 670013 and certified animal waste management plan.

Mr. Mervin Thigpen
September 15, 2000
Page 2
The General Permit requires immediate notification to DWQ for instances of inadequate freeboard under
Part Ill. Monitoring and Reporting Requirements. Section fie. An inspection report left by DWQ staff during
a visit on May 22, 2000 noted this requirement.
As noted in the inspection report left on -site and included with this Notice, yourwaste utilization plan
is restrictive by only using a soybean/wheat rotation. The planting and harvesting of crops at yourfacilities
will need to be a higher priority than at other locations which you farm. Doing so will enable you to have the
greatest flexibility in managing your lagoon levels. Furthermore, it is highly recommended that you have
a pump for each site such that waste can be applied from more than one lagoon at a time when conditions
allow waste application. I understand that your reel and guns are often used to irrigate other crops not grown
on your animal facilities. While this is an acceptable practice, it should only be done if it will not interfere
with your ability to manage your lagoon levels.
To correct these violations, please submit a detailed Plan of Action to the Wilmington Regional
Office of the Division of Water Quality that describes the actions to be taken to address these violations
of Animal Waste Permit AWS 670013.
The proposed written plan of action must be received by this office within fifteen (15) working
days of the receipt of this notice. Upon approval and implementation of the plan, you must notify this
office when the corrective actions are complete. Contact your Service Company, county Soil & Water
district office, or county extension office for any assistance they may be able to provide.
If the violations are not corrected, the Division of Water Quality may pursue additional avenues
to achieve compliance including civil penalties, injunctive relief, or permit revocation:
If you have.any questions concerning this matter please do not hesitate to contact either Mr.
Dean Hunkele or Mr. Stonewall Mathis, of our Wilmington Regional Office at [phone] or Mr.
Steve Lewis at [phone], ext. 539.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 67-13
Onslow County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRR1, IRR2, DRY I, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR I, SLUR2,
SLDI, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the
DWQ staff at [phone] ext. 571.

STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon
APPLICATION METHOD: Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface waiter and/or
groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops
in the fields where the waste is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil
tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be
balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization
plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to
ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe.tnanner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient content of the waste. -Do not apply
more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and
available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than
5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land
eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than
10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter
strips are established.
4. Do not -apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining,
or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions
i
may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed j
under DWQ regulations.

ANIMAL WASTE'UTILIZATI6N'PLAN J '
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems -
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production
and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should
be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30
days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems,
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If
you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the
same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant
analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied.
Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible
so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific
crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
3,520 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 6,688 - tons 8,224
3,840 'x .4 1,536 tons > total tons

Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan
time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely
manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than
the acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land
application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient
rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application -
of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 1598.918 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 7994.59
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid
bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 26.6486333333 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 63.95672 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application
methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This
rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil
texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount
should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the
time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed
the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure
that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
Pages 6

Your facility is designed for I80.00 days of temporary storage and
the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every
6.00 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored
in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one
foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to
ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the
correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown -in the tables may
make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis
report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and
the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.

WASTE. UTILIZATION PLAN:.'; :
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIO14S
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the 'state by
runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or
direct discharge during operation or land application. Any
discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the -design folder that the
producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate
land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does
not own adequate land.to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall
provide a copy of an agreement with'a landowner.who is within a
reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for
waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the
facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when
there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of
animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the
nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type,
available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict
the rate of application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons
per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding
at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year
providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff -leaves
the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip)
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after
waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is
danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to
flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled
cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or
grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application
does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See."Weather
and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil
infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to
surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from
the site during application. No ponding should occur in order
to control odor or flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such
a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that
would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal
waste should also be considered.

10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or,winter for
spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for
.leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be
held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to
take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more
than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking
dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall
comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area
onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of
a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential
property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other

15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters,
drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying.
Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided
they have been approved as a land application site by a
"technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on
grassed waterways that discharges directly into water courses,
and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at
agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from
the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities,
showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the
animal waste management system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be
established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms,
pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to
protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and
other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered
appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible.

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

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREMWM
Name of Farm:Watchoverya Farms
Owner/Manager Agreement
I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specifications
and the operation and maintenance procedures established 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 storage system or construction of new
facilities will require a new certification to be submitted to the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) before the new
animals are stocked. I (we) also understand that there must be no
discharge of animal waste from this system to surface waters of the
state from a storm event less severe than the 25--year, 24-hour
storm. The approved plan will be filed on -site at the farm office
and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District
and will be available for review by NCDWQ upon request.

Emergency Action. Plan
This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operations are leaking, overflowing, or
running off the site. You should NOT wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave your property to
consider that'.you have a problem. You should make every effort to ensure that this foes not happen. This
plan should be available .to all employees at the facility, as accidents leaks and breaks can happen at an
PY� � � PP Y
time.
Stop the release of ,wastes. Depending on, -the situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested
respoinses to .problems are listed below
a) Lagoon overflew:
add soil to the -berm to increase the elevation of the dam
• pump -wastes to fields.at an acceptable rate
• stop all additional flow to the lagoon. -(waterers)
• call a pumping contractor
i " make -sure no surface water is entering the lagoon
-Note: These activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the temporary storage level.
b) Runoff from waste application field:
• immediately stop waste application
• create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field
• incorporate waste to reduce further runoff
c) Leaking from the waste distribution system-.
• pipes and sprinklers:
i0 stop recycle (flushing system) pump
(D stop irrigation pump
® close valves to eliminate further discharge
® separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
• flush system, houses, solids separators:
OO stop recycle (flushing system) pump
® stop irrigation pump
® make sure no siphon effect has been created
M separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
d) Leakage from base or sidewafl of the lagoon. Often these are seepage as opposed to flowing leaks:
• dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back into the
lagoon
iif holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a
clay type soil.
NCCES, WUP version 1, pagd

e other holesmay be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil
Note: For permanent repair measures, lagoon problems require the consultation of an individual
experienced in their design and installation.
2) Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a) Did the waste reach any surface waters?
b) Approximately how much was released and for, what duration?
c) Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage?
3) Contact appropriate agencies.
a) During normal business hours, call your DWQ regional office: Wilmington [phone]
after hours, emergency number: 91( 9) 733-3942. Your phone call should include: your name,
facility, telephone number, the details of the incident, the exact location of the facility, and the location
or direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind conditions, what corrective measures have
been taken, and the seriousness of the situation.
b) If the spill leaves the property or enters surface waters, call the local EM:19IQ) 347-4270
c) Instruct EM to contact the local Health Department: 910347-2154
d) Contact CES: (910).455-5873
local SWCD office: [phone]
local NRCS office: (910) 4554472
and your integrator:
4) Implement procedures as advised by DWQ and technical assistance agencies to rectify the damage, ,repair the
systemfNand reassess the waste management plan to keep problems with release of wastes from;,happening
again. If you are unable to contract any of the above numbers call 911 or the Sheriffs Department and explain
your problem to them and ask that person to contact the proper agencies for you.
5) Contact the contractor of your choice to begin repair of problem to minimize off -site damage.

OFEf-ATTON AND MAINTEl"IANCE PLAN^
______________________________
,
.This'lagopn is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) with
minimnm pdor control. The time required 'fpr the planned fluid level
to he 1-�-acheci Apormanent + temporarystbrage) may vary due to
flusUnq operations e\.d the amount of freih water to be added,to the
syst=m.
`
The designed 6 months temporary storage im an estimated volume
based no : 1> waste from animals; 2) excess rainfall after
evaporation; and 3) the largest 24 hour (one day) rainfall that
occurs on the average of once every 25 ye=ks. The volume of
waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly
cnns+unt throughout the year and from year to year. This
estimate is based on 7 inches of excess rainfall which is
Equal to or exceeds the highest 6 months excess in a year.
Me average annual eacess rainfall is approximately 8 inches,
ThereFore, an average of 8 inches of e:cess raiofall will
need to be pumped each year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a
factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage
volume most always be available. A maximum elevation is
determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually
the n"Ulet invert or pipe(s) from building(s)' If the outlet
pipe is not installed on the elevation to begin pumping, a
perma.`enh marker must he installed on this elevation to
indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be '
established to,stup pumping to maintain minimum treatment depth
(6 Fomt). Pumping can he started or stopped any time betwee`i
these two elevations for operating convenience as site
conditions permit (weather, soils, crop, and nquipme"t to apply
waste withcut runoff or leaching).
^
|'e'«j application of wsstp water is recognizpd as an acceptable
method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set,'
oenter pi'ot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation' Care should
he taken when applying waste to prevent runoff from the field
or damagm hn crops.
The fo]lo-\ng items are to he carried out:
1. Th is strongly recommended tha the treatment lagoon be pre-
chprged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excxaseivm odors during
start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration oF the initial
waste enFerinq the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids
should be covered with effluent at all times. When pre -
charging M completed, flush buildings with recycled lagoon
liquid. Fresh water should not be used fnr flushing after
initial filling.
2. The attmched waste utilization plan shall be followed.
This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste -(see
Attachment B) hefure land application.

,
3. Begin pump -out nf the ]'�)oon when fluid level reaches oleva_-
tion 50'30 as markPd by perma`nynt markers' Stop pump -out
wheri the fluid level reaches �levatim� 48.00 or before
-fluid cepth is less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss Of
favorah�� hac�ori�>. The design tempnratry storagt:�, less 25 year
stmrm is 4B734 cubic feet or 364533 gallons. As stated
bpfure, this vnlume will vary considerably from year to year.

All dams built with technical assistance from the Sail Cohservation Service
Must have a hazard classification assigned by the pperson responsible for

be classified after a complete field investigation without assuming failure
and making breach studies. This data sheet 1s to be used for recording
the Information obtained through field studies and for documentingg the
hazard class Iffcation. Where there is a possibility'for-loSt of life'"br

in height as it moves down tha flbod'hlaln. The riavlo height (depth of
flooding) should be evaluated for a sufficient distance downstream until
the estimated flood level will not cause significant damage to improvements
such as homes, buildings, roads, utilities, reservoirsi etc. The breach
flood level will be reduced depending on the valley storagget slope, and
openess of the flood plain; however, in a narrow steep valley slopes

Should there be any questions about the hazard classificatfon for a dam,
the area engineer should be consulted before making design commitments.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
______________________--____-_
This lagoon is designed for nayte treatment (permanent storage) with
minimum odor control' The time required for the planned fluid level
to be reached (permanent + temporary storage) may vary due Qo
flushing operations and the amount of fresh water to he added to the
system. '
The designed 6 months temporary stnrage is an eWmated volume
based on : 1) waste from animals; 2) excess rainfall afte�
evaporation; and 3) the largest 24 hour (one day)� rainfall that
occurs on the averade nf once ever" 25 years. The volume of
waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly
const*nt throughout the year and from year to year. This
estimate is based on 7 inches of cxccss rainfall which is
equal to or exceeds the highest 6 months excess in a year.
The average annual excess rainfall is approximately 8 inches.
Therefore, an average of 8 inches of excess rainfall will
need to bu pumped each year. The 25 year rainfall will not be I
factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage
volume must always be available. A maximum elevation is
determined in each design to begin pumpi"q aid this is usually
the outlet invert of pipe(W from huildi`m](s). If the »utlW:
pipe is not installed on 4he elevation to begin pwoping, a
permanent ma,kpr must be installed on this elevation to
indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be
establIshed to stop pumping to maintain minimum treatment depth
(6 foot). Pumping can be started or stopped any time betwee`i
these two elevations for operating convenience as site
conditinns permit (weather, soils, crop, and equipment to apply
waste without runoff or leaching).
Land appiication of waste water is recognized as an acceptable
method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set,
center pivot, gums, and traveling gun irrigation. Care Should
be Laken when applying waste to prevent runoff from the field
or damage tn crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is
strongly recowmeoxjpd
tha the
treatment lagoon be pre -
charged to
1/2 its capacity to
prevent
excessive odors during
atart-"p.
Pre -charging reduces
the concent/ation
of the initial
waste entering
the lagoon thereby
rpducjng
odors. Solids
should he
covered with effluent
at all
times. When pre-
chaiging is
completed, flush buildings
with recycled lagoon
liquid. Fresh
water should not
be used
for flushing after
initial filling.
R. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed.
This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see
4ttauhneot B) before land application.

I (we) verify that all the above information is correct and will be updated upon changing. I (we) understand the operation and
maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste management plan for the farm named above and will implement
these procedures. I (we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and storage system or
construction of new facilities will require a new certification to be submitted to the Division of Environmental Management before the
new animals are stocked. I (we) understand that there must be no discharge of animal waste from the storage or application system to
surface waters of the state either directly through a man-made conveyance for from a storm event less severe than the 25-year, 24-hr
storm and there must not be run-off from the application of animal waste. I (we) understand that run-off of pollutants from lounging
and heavy use areas must be minimized using technical standards developed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The
approved plan will be filed at the farm and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District. I (we) know that any
modification must be approved by a technical specialist and submitted to the Soil and Water Conservation District prior to
implementation. A change in land ownership requires written notification to DEM or a new certification (if the approved plan is

Dear Mr. Thigpen:
This is to inform you that your completed registration form required by the recently
modified nondischarge rule has been received by the Division of Environmental Management
(DEM), Water Quality Section.
On December 10, 1992 the Environmental Management Commission adopted a water
quality rule which governs animal waste management systems. The goal of the rule is for animal
operations to be managed such that animal waste is not discharged to surface waters of the state.
The rule allows animal waste systems to be "deemed permitted" if certain minimum criteria are
met (I SA NCAC 2H .0217). By submitting this registration you have met one of the criteria for
being deemed permitted.
We would like to remind you that existing feedlots which meet the size thresholds listed
in the rule, and any new or expanded feedlots constructed between February 1, 1993 and
December 31, 1993 must submit a signed certification form (copy enclosed) to DEM by
December 31, 1997, New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31, 1993 must
obtain signed certification before animals are stocked on the farm. Certification of an
approved animal waste management plan can be obtained after the Soil and Water Conservation
Commission adopts rules later this year..
We appreciate you providing us with this information. If you have any question about
the new nondischarge rule, please contact David Harding at [phone].
Sincerely,
Steve Tedder, Chief
