PCs Page 1 of - 1 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, theirnutrient requirements, and propertiming 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 in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation. Depending on the requirements of the crop and the nutrient content of the waste, some nutrients will likely be over or under applied if animal waste is being utilized. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are required if animal waste is being applied. Soil tests should be used to balance the nutrient application amounts with the realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Nutrient management plans may require that the application of animal waste be limited so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field.

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 othernutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge mast 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, cam 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 ooncern. 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 plaimed 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 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). - ------------------------------------------------------------------.---------....------------------- ------------------------------------ 191828 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 5/25/2004 Sveci'icatioa'� Page 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 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. ---- ------------------------------------------------------ ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 191828 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 5/25/2004 Specification Page 2 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. ------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------ - --------------------------------------------------------------- 191828 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 5/25/2004 SpociSication Page 3 21.

She stated that I should write you a letter explaining the lagoon measurement that Donald Chase had called in on Thursday, March 20th. Donald called in a lagoon freeboard of 14 inches. He did not have anything to measure the lagoon marker with. He just looked at the level and estimated a level and called it in. A call was made to Murphy -Brown and our service manager, Ronnie Miller, came out to the farm that afternoon. He had a measuring tool that fitted over the freeboard marker. The correct freeboard was 18 inches. Stoney Mathis was at the farm on Monday, March 17th. At that time the freeboard was 20 inches. I did not know that I should have called you back to report the correct measurement. If we should have this problem again in the future, I will do so. This is the first time our freeboard has been at this level. Sincerely, Brenda Chase 3� W A r9pG Michael F_ Easley, Governor 0� William G.

Violation #1. Domestic Wastewater Entry into Animal Waste Lagoon On 3 May 2000 a septic tank and the accessories for installing a septic system was purchased and installed. The wastewater line was cut into and capped off. The Onslow County Health Department made an appointment to visit the farm on 17 May 2000 at 2 pm in regards to your notice of the wastewater violation. The inspector did not show up for the appointment nor did he call to inform me he would not be there. I was at the farm until 6 pm. Violation #2 Inadequate Record Keeping On the day of the inspection all the records were not its the file box at the farm. They were forwarded to your office on 14 April 2000. A soil and waste sample had been sent off; the analysis report had not been returned. The report was received on 3 May 2000. Another waste sample will be sent off on 12 June 2000.

The following violations were noted during the inspection: Domestic Wastewater Entry into Animal Waste Lagoon During the inspection, it was observed that a pipe was entering the lagoon without any identifiable purpose. This pipe was observed discharging clear water afterthe inspector had used the bathroom facilities at your farm. The on -site representative was elusive as to the nature of the pipe's purpose when questioned. Using your animal waste lagoon for human septic purposes is a violation of Part II. Section 7 of your General Permit AWS 670019. Contact the county health department for the proper septic tank permit. Remove this line and cease the use of human wastewater system until a permitted septic tank is installed. 127 North Cardinal Dr., Wilmington, North Carolina 29405 Telephone 910 395-3900 FAX 910 350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled110% post -consumer paper Mr. Donald Chase May 22, 2000 Page 2 2. Inadequate Record Keeping During the inspection, the following problems were observed with record keeping at your facility: On -site irrigation records were not up-to-date, weekly freeboard records were incomplete, and waste analyses were out of compliance. Irrigation Records -- Daily spraying activities should be recorded on IRR-1forms and must be used when using computer generated IRR-2 forms. Nitrogen balances must be maintained on separate forms (IRR-2) for each crop cycle based on the certified waste utilization plan. Records can be kept by field if spray zone or pull irrigated is indicated in margins or on IRR-1 forms. Ideally records should be kept by spray pull or zone with acreage shown on IRR-2 forms as that covered by the pull or zone. Facilities with irrigation designs or layouts should follow them using the appropriate acreage assigned to each routine. Nitrogen balances should be updated at least monthly, but more frequently for low PAN crops or when balances are approaching PAN limits to avoid over -application. IRR-1 forms must be maintained up-to-date if IRR-2 balances are not. Freeboard Records — Weekly freeboard records for all lagoons on -site are required by the General Permit in Part 111. Section 2. If the facility must call these readings into their integrator, then a log of the levels must be maintained on -site to fulfill this requirement. Waste Analyses — A dated waste analysis report for each lagoon that irrigation occurs from is required within 60 days of any irrigation event by General Permit Part III. Section 4. For example, waste report is dated March 1st, then applications can be made until May 1st or backwards to January 1st. Waste can be applied prior to having an updated report such as spraying on February 1st and using the PAN listed on a report on March 1st of a sample taken February 20. However, the grower is cautioned against applying too often without knowing the nitrogen content of the lagoon on low PAN crops (like overseeds) or when nitrogen balance (PAN) is nearly used up for a crop to avoid over -application. It is highly recommended that samples �- be taken every 90 days (3 months) beginning in January to always have a valid sample report. This also allows for a 30-day period of report overlap where the grower can use the lowest PAN value of the two reports on the IRR-2 nitrogen balance records. 3. Inadequate Lagoon Marker During the inspection it was observed that the lagoon marker was inadequate for the following reason -- marker does not indicate the entire inner dike wall height. Please note that your General Permit and certified animal waste management plan require correct markers_ Each marker should be straight, allow liquid level reading down to the stop pumping level, accurately portray the liquid level, and have the required freeboard and the stop pumping level to be clearly delineated. Please note each marker should be lagoon specific based upon the lagoon design. . 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 670019. 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. Mr. Donald Chase May 22, 2000 Page 3 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, of our Wilmington Regional Office at (910) 395-3900 or Mr. Steve Lewis at (919) 733- 5083, ext. 539.

Facility Number 67-19 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, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, 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 (919) 733-5083 ext. 571.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged'so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. Page: l ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN S. 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.) 3520 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 6688 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 3520 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 8096 lbs. PAN/year Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

APPLIC METH N TIME END TOTAL 10 Indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. interplanted) or winter annuals follow summer annuals. In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing, hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain to reach maturity, especially late: in the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are -considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for 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 1302.4 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 6512 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 21.7066666667 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 52.096 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25W depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and Page: 6 • ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

Your facility is designed for-180.00 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6.00 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. Page: 7 " ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 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. NNARRATIVE OF OPERATION Page: 8 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUUP SPECIFICATIONS 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip) 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or _ grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. Page: 9 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200-feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharges directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. Page: 10 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied preplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to -mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

(SEAL) r Page: 15 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 does not happen. This plan should be available to all employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and breaks can happen at any time. 1) Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested responses to problems are listed below: a) Lagoon overflow: • 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 • 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: O stop recycle (flushing system) pump ® stop irrigation pump ® close valves to eliminate further discharge ® separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow • flush system, houses, solids separators: ti0 stop recycle (flushing system) pump ® stop irrigation pump ® make sure no siphon effect has been created ® separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow d) Leakage from base or sidewall of 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 • if holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil NCCES, WUP version 1, page9 • other holes may 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 (910) 395-3900 after hours, emergency number: (912) 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: (910) 347-4270 c) Instruct EM to contact the local Health Department: (910) 347-2154 _ d) Contact CES: (910 4) 55-5873 local SWCD office: (910) 455-4472 local NRCS office: (91 Q) 455-"72 and your integrator: 4) Implement procedures as advised by DWQ and technical assistance agencies to rectify the damage, repair the system, and 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 Sheriff's 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. a.

DESIGNED BY APPROVED BY: T�- �� q DATE: fA�44 S� NOTE: SEE ATTACHED WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN SHEET 1 OF 2 oPFRATION ANn MATNTFNAM'F PI -AN ------------------------------ This lagoon is des i gncad fc.)r waste treatment (fDt_r-rnanen t storage) and 180 days of temporary storage. They time required for the planned fluid level (pre rmanent and tempor:�ry t_or .,ge) VO be Ce,73C-hed may v rr-y due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for: (1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also included is storage for the 25 year -- 24 hour storm for the location. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available. A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from building(s). If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth. Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without runoff or leaching. Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling gun -irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out: 1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre -- charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during start-up. Pre --charging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete, flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after initial filling. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment) before 'land application. 3. Begin temporary ,torage pump --out of the 1, gnon When fluid level reaches the elevation 50.5 as rr,arked by permanent marker. Stop pump- aot when the fluid level reaches elevation 48.5 This temporary -sniorage, less 25 yr- 24 hr- storm, contains 172922 cubic_ feet or 124-�457 gallons. . '0� - •5aw , ;HEFT 2 of i, 4,. The rercommende=_d maximum amount to „pply per irrigation it one (1) inch �-,nd the recommended maximrIm application rate_ is 0.3 inch per hour. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further deta-i'is. 5. Keep vegetation on the embankment 15nd ar e—:,s idj scent to th& lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation :.Should be fertilized as neederi to maintain a vigorous stand. 6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and establish in vegetation. 7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets. 8. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will not be applied in open ditches. do not pump within 200 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ- mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law. }IiH.F'r I of 21 SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS ----------------------------------------------------------- FOUNDATION PREPARATION: ------------- -------- ---- The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be cleared of trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush, boulder-s,sod and rubbish. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoil from the lagoon and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior to placing the first lift of fill material to get a good bond. EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT: ----------------------------------- The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines, grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthfill'material shall be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen soil, stones over 6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent they are suitable, excavated materials can be used as fill. The fill shall be brought up in approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9 inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading equipment or standard tamping roller or other equivalent method. Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectible. NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon shall be -installed using the more impervious materials from the required excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height and with an impoundment capacity of 10 acre-feet or more fall under the ,jurisdiction of the NC Dam Safety Law. The height is defined as the difference in elevation from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike. Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.6 ft. NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERIAL IS ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. A TYPICAL CROSS' SECTION OF THE LINER IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIREDz BY THE SOILS REPORl- When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, tht-y will be over -- excavated below finish grade to the specified depth mc.,.Isured perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall he backfilled as specified to grade with a SCS approved material (ie - CI..,SC.CH) . REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN THE PLANS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS. itrE_i. 2 OF "' Soj1 liner material shall come from an,approved borrow area. The minimum water content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture content which relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneaded in the hand it will form a ball which does not readily separate. Wafor shall he addend to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture content during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner material shall not be less than optimum water content during placement. The maximum water content relates to the soil material being too wet for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Proper compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum ASTM D698 Dry Unit Weight of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous lift shall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement of the next lift. The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted perme- ability of a clay liner, other than the type of clay used for the liner, is the efficient construction processing of the compacted liner. The'sequence of equipment use andthe routing of equipment in an estab- lished pattern helps assure uniformity in the whole placement and compaction process. For most clay soils, a tamping or sheepsfoot roller is the preferable type of compaction equipment. The soil liner shall be protected from the discharge of waste outlet pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator(rocks) or using flexible outlets on waste pipes. Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant. When these are specified, additional construction specifications are included with this Construction Specification, CUTOFF TRENCH: A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when shown on a typical cross section in the plans. The final depth of the cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation materials. VEGETATION: All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construc- tion according to the seeding specifications. Topsoil should be placed on area: of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch shall be used if the recommended permanent vegetation i.s out of season dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should he established as soon as passible during the next period of approved seeding dates. REMOVAL Of EXISTING TILE CIRAINS ------------------------------- When tile drains are encountered, the tile will be removed to a minimum of 10 feet beyond tha outside toe of slope of the dike.

Though simple in design, this tool will go a long way in assisting all of us to better manage the liquid level in our lagoons. In order to complete the project this summer, Bruce Jones has been contracted by Carroll's Foods to install indicators on grower farms. Using survey equipment and a boat, Bruce will determine the lowest point on each dike and set the indicators at the correct elevation. The indicators will be located in the most visible area of the lagoon and close to the irrigation pump if possible. Each indicator will serve the following purposes: 1. SHOW THE MAXIMUM LIQUID LEVEL (this is the top pipe and is located below the 1 foot freeboard and 25 year 24 hour storm). The newer indicators are painted red down to the maximum liquid level. If the liquid is in the RED, the farm is out of compliance. 2. SHOW THE HALFWAY POINT (this is the middle pipe and is 1 foot below the maximum level a.md 1 foot above the minimum or stop pumping level). Waste management operators are encouraged to utilize this level for pumping during the spring and summer months. This will allow extra storage for periods of wet weather or extremely heavy rains. 3. SHOW THE MINIMUM LEVEL (stop pumping). This pipe will be 2 feet below the start pumping elevation for most lagoons. Irrigating below this level will reduce waste treatment and can result in -odors and less breakdown of solids. It is strongly recommended that all farms be at this level when going into the winter months. Like many other management tools, the liquid level indicator is no better than the person who uses it. If even one spill can be prevented, this effort will be worthwhile for the industry.
