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 gown,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.

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

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

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff,drift, manmade conveyances, direct application,or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner,who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed,the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 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 he 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). ------------------------------------------------- .... ---------...------..---...------....-----...-------------------------------... 409042 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed-5/19/2014 Specification Page I 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. Wastelnutrient 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. ....................................... ............................ ...............--.---..............----.--_.------ .....----.---.. ......... 409042 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed:511912014 Specification Pa..e 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. 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. 409042 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed:5l19MM Specification Pap_e 3 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate-determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of fwe 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. ................ ---------------------------------------------------- -------------------------- -------------------------- ------------------------------ 409042 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed:5/19/2014 Specification Page 4 Crop Notes The following crop note applies to field(s): 15, 16, 17, 18, 19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29, SUB-1,SUB-2,SUB-A,SUB-B,SUB-C,SUB-D Small Grain: CP,Mineral Soil, low-leachable In the Coastal Plain,oats and barley should be planted from October 15-October 30;and rye from 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%D when planting no-till. Oats should be planted at 2 bushels/acre and rye at 1-1 1/2 bushels/aere.Plant all these small grains at 1-1 1/2"deep.Adequate depth control 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 30 lbs/acre N at planting.Phosphorus and potash recommended by a soil test can also be applied at this time.The remaining N should be applied during the months of February-March. ----------------------- -----------------------------------•-----------------.......------------_.-......--.-..------- --...--...�--..-.-------------- --- 409042 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: 05-19-2014 CropNote Page I of 3 i The following crop note applies to field(s): 15, 16, 17, 18, 19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29, SUB-1,SUB-2, SUB-A, SUB-B, SUB-C,SUB-D Bermudagrass CP,Mineral Soil,Poorly Drained to Somewhat Poorly Drained.

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

Our staff is trained to treat all facility operators and owners with respect in order to foster a beneficial working relationship. However,we have needed to :spend additional time on this facility due to significant compliance problems_ Our records indicate that DWQ staff have visited this facility ten times in the last three years. This may initially seem excessive however, citizen complaints initiated six of the visits, two were routine inspections, one wets a follow-up to a notice:of-violation and one was to,accompany US EPA inspectors to the site. Two of the complaint visits lead to civil assessments for discharging animal waste to waters of the state. The most recent routine DWQ inspection on January 25, 1999 indicates several areas of improvement that were still necessary for the facility to be compliant with existing regulations. DWQ will continue to work with Mr.Vereen while he takes the steps necessary to improve:his environmental compliance.

Wrenn Environmental Specialist 127 N. Cardinal Drive Wilmington, NC 28405 Dear Mr. Wrenn; In reference to your letter of notice of deficiency dated February 12, 1999 and the inspection report dated January 5, 1999 . I would like to respond to the following points : Item 3 on the inspection form reads "observed 3 fetuses in the lagoon: " fetuses and after birth in the lagoon are a common occurrence on sow farms . The lagoon is monitored on a regular basis and that material is disposed of properly. Item 13 refers to the cropping pattern versus the farm plan on hand. You are aware that the plan had been rewritten and was faxed to you on January 29, 1999 . The change in the cropping pattern on field number 3 was discussed with Josh Spencer before any crop changes were made . Item 18 "lagoon levels should be recorded weekly" , I was operating under the impression that the farm had to be permitted before lagoon levels were required. The sow farm is permitted but the nursery farm is not, therefore I was not keeping lagoon level on the farm_ The lagoon design and certification forms were not in the records because the book was not large enough. That information was in my possession and I will purchase a larger notebook. Item 19 - There was an error in the IRR-2 , but that error would have been corrected with additional spray entries . Carolina Bay Farms, LLC, strives to do the best job possible . I realize that we had minor infractions and I do not feel that these mistakes justify a notice of deficiency from your office. I would like to request that the notice of deficiency be removed from my file . All of the above items have been corrected and we will continue to do the best job possible.

Records on site at the time of the inspection indicate that a summer annual/winter annual crop rotation is being grown in field #3 which is listed for fescue by the Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) in effect at that time. Although the WUP has recently been amended to include the summer annuallwinter annual rotation in field #3, this plan was not signed by a technical specialist until December 10, 1998. The appropriate crops must be planted in the spray fields to reflect the current WUP. Any changes desired in the cropping rotation should be amended in the WUP before planting occurs. In addition, the spray records should reflect the correct crop and Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) loading rate. We suggest that you contact your service company, local NRCS or Soil and Water District office for any assistance they may be able to provide to correct the situation.

I did not spray April 12, 1998. I made two successful pulls on#28 and#30 on April 13. The third pull was made and a bolt came loose that apparently was not tightened April 11, 1998, causing the reel to slow down creating excessive ponding. The possibility of wastewater runoff or discharge was immediately eliminated by plowing a farrow between the spray field and the canal which we assume you refer to as Leonard Branch. No one from your office was on the farm March 18, 1998. They were on the farm April 13, 1998 approximately 2 p.m. Sincerely, Pearly Vereen State of North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources ECE IVED • Division of Water Quality JUL 0 2 1998 A Ago James B.

Modifications have been made to defective irrigation reel gear box which will futher ensure application rate accuracy. With regards to additional items : feild ditch adjacent to spray #lb) has been blocked and pumped on 4/13/98 , outer dike walls of lagoon have been mowed on 4/13/98 , Bare areas on inner dike walls had been - re-seeded prior to 4/13/98 visit and grass is flourishing.

Shiver , This letter is in response to the notice of Violation for Carolina Bay Farms received on April 4 . The discharge observed by DWQ on March 24 was due to equipment failure while irrigating on March 23 . The reel slipped out of gear and operated in the same place for approximately one to two hours which caused ponding and runoff . When this was observed , the ditch was blocked and the effulent pumped back onto the field to mimimize any impacts . On March 25 , irragation did occur but runoff did not result . This was documented by pictures which were signed byWQ ins-pectors responding to the complaint . �~ Since the visit from DWQ,Brown ' s of Carolina staff and Harold Jones of NRCS have been to the farm to provide technical assistance. _ Both advised filling in the low areas and constructing a berm to prevent runoff in the envent of equipment failure . In addition, when irrigating this particular area , the gun will not be pulled out as close to the edge of the field as it has been in the past . A designated operator in charge was submitted to DWQ on March27 . A certified operator was employed by the farm but quit in January. There have been no additional classes offered to replace this operator since then . As soon as the first class is offered , additional employees will attend . The discharge that occured was a combination of equipment failure and lack of close monitoring.When observed ,the discharge was immediatley stopped and every effort was made to pump it back onto irragation fields .Modifications to this field will be made as described above to prevent further problems and much closer monitoring will be done. We will also continue to receive technical assistance from both Brown' s of Carolina and NRCS staff . The operators of Carolina Bay Farms ,have made considerable efforts to construct and manange the best possible: production facility.. We will continue to make every effort to assure a safe and environmentally sound operation. If you have any questions , please call Pearly Vereen at 910-287-5474 or 910 2B7-3210 .

ASH, NC 28420 (910) 287-5474 Mr. Rick Shiver NCDEHNR 127 Cardinal Dr. Ext . Wilimington, N.C. 28405 Dear Mr . Shiver, Thank you for sending our company notification of your consideration of recommendation for enforcement action. We received your letter 5/20/97 , and appreciate the oppetunity to respond . First let me assure you that Carolina Bay Farms LLC is a professionally operated and maintained production facility. We accept nothing less then 100% compliance with regulations & standard operating practice. To that end we have, and will cooperate fully with state and local agencies to assure the best operation possible . Reguarding discharge of wastewater : two events occured which resulted in a small amount of wastewater running into a road ditch beside a spray field . Neither event could have been predicted by farm managment . The first event was due to an extremely heavy rain shower unforcasted and unforseen, comming after application. The second event,unrelated to the first , was due to mechanical failure of the irrigation reel .Wasterwater was promptly contained in the ditch and pumped back onto the spray field . We do not believe that any wastewater flowed beyond the shallow road ditch, into a tributary of the Juniper Creek or Green Swamp . Reguarding the operater in charge; our company had an employee certified at the first possible training course in 1996 . That employee subsequently resigned this position with Carolina Bay Farms . Our inquiries indicated that certification training classes would be held once a year in the fall . Since that time we have asked and had made avilable to us a certification training class . Several employees and owners of Carolina Bay Farms are attending that class this week (may 20 & 22 ) .They will take the state test at the first avilable date . In addition to the above imformation, we would also like you to know that we have consulted with Mr . Dave Holsinger of your office , Mr . Harold ,Tones of the Brunswick County Soil & Conservation office, and envionmental experts from Browns of Carolina . We have already complied with all recommendations made by these experts and have completed modifications to the spray field involved . All of these actions have been taken to help assure that even unforseen and extraordinary circumstances will not result in futher runoff . Thank you very much for your consideration of these facts and details . We will contine to strive to be a com� lateiy environmentally sound operation. Sincerly Milton R .

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount 'of commercial fertilizer requi-fed for the crops in the fields where waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based- on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infilitration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre- cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per. year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to inject the waste in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating waste are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage require- ments should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H. 0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 2 AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc. ) 4000 sows x 6. 1 tons waste/sows/year = 24400 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 4000 sows x 5.4 lbs PAN/sows/year = 21600 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.

TIME END TOTAL Q -- 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 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 the 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. * Acreage figures may exceed total acreage in fields due to overseeding. ** lbs AW N (animal waste nitrogen) equals total required nitrogen less any commercial nitrogen (COMM N) supplied.

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. NOTE: 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 3520 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 5 See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be within 1.7 feet of the top of the dike. 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 Z . 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. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION: WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 6 Plans and Specifications i. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to assessment of civil penalties of $10, 000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2 . The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either has owns or has long term access to adequate land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide MRCS with a copy of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production. facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3 . Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4 . Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS) . If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers) . 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. b. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the NRCS Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance. 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application. 8 . Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 7 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a crop on bare soil. 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (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 wasters, drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over-spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge into water courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the application causes no runoff or drift from the site. 15. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc. , shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17 . Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. 18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc. ) . If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. 19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and imple- menting a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 20. 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.

Wilmington, NC 28405-3845 Dear Mr. Shiver, This letter is in response to the notice of Violation for Carolina Bay Farms received on April 4 . The discharge observed by DWQ on March 24 was due to equipment failure while irrigating on March 23 . The reel slipped out of gear and operated in the same place for approximately one to two hours which caused ponding and runoff. When this was observed ,the ditch was blocked and the effulent pumped back onto the field to mimimize any impacts . On March 25 , irragation did occur but runoff did not result. This was documented by pictures which were signed by_ DWQ inspectors responding to the complaint . _ __ - { Since the visit from DWQ,Brown ' s of Carolina staff and Harold Jones of NRCSi have been to the farm to provide tec'hnica-1 assistance. . Both advised filling in the low areas and constructing a berm to prevent runoff in the envent of equipment failure. In addition, when irrigating this particular area , the gun will not be pulled out as close to the edge of the field as it has been in the past . A designated operator in charge was submitted to DWQ on March27 . A certified operator was employed by the farm but quit in January. There have been no additional classes offered to replace this operator since then. As soon as the first class is offered , additional employees will attend . The discharge that occured was a combination of equipment failure and lack of close monitoring .When observed ,the discharge was immediatley stopped and every effort was made to pump it back onto irragation fields .Modifications to this field will be made as described above to prevent further problems and much closer monitoring will be done . We will also continue to receive technical assistance from both Brown ' s of Carolina and NRCS staff . The operators of Carolina Bay Farms ,have made considerable efforts to construct and manange the best possible production facility . We will continue to make every effort to assure a safe and environmentally sound operation. If you have any questions , please call Pearly Vereen at 910-287-5474 or 910 287-3210 . Thank you for your consideration in this matter . SINCERLY , Milton R .

On March 20 1997, staff from the Wilmington Office of the Division of Water Quality inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. A discharge of wastewater was observed due to over-application, excessive ponding and runoff from a spray field which had entered an unnamed tributary leading to Juniper Creek and the Green Swamp, both "C-Swamp" waters of the state. On March 24, 1997, in response to a complaint, staff again visited the operation and observed excessive ponding of waste and wastewater running off of the same spray field into the right of way ditch of NCSR 1340. On March 25, 1997, in response to a second complaint, staff visited the operation and observed wastewater running off of the spray field into the right of way ditch of NCSR 1340. In addition, it was found that no certified "Operator in Charge" existed for this operation. All of these incidents were due to separate spray application events over several days and are violations of the animal waste rules (15 A NCAC 2H .0200) and your certified waste management plan. The Division of Water Quality may proceed to revoke Carolina Bay Farm's permit unless the following conditions are completed: 1. Immediately eliminate the discharge of wastewater and/or list actions to correct the noted violation. 127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, N.C. 28405-3845 • Telephone 910-395-3900 • Fax 910-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer Mr. Milton Ward Page 2 2. Make an modifications needed to ensure there will be future discharges. Y g 3. Properly designate a certified Operator in Charge for lhis facility. To remain a deemed permitted facility, all corrective actions must be made within fourteen (14) days. Failure to do so may result in the facility losing mit',s!deemed permitted status, requiring a new certified waste management plan and certification form for the facility to be submitted, and/or being required to obtain an individual non discharge permit for the facility. Failure to comply with the above conditions will cause the existing animal waste management system serving your animal operation to be considered in operation without a permit as required by North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1. Please be advised that this assessment does not prevent the Division of Water Quality from taking enforcement actions for this violation or any past or future violations. When the required corrective actions are complete, please notify this office in writing. If you have any questions concerning this matter please do not hesitate to contact either Mr. David Holsinger, of our Wilmington Office at (910)-395-3900 or Mr. Shannon Langley at (919) 733-5083, ext. 581.

The time required for the planned fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days 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 storage pump-out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches the elevation 44 . 5 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump- out when the fluid level reaches elevation 42 .5 . This temporary storage, less 25 yr-- 24 hr storm, contains 614591 cubic feet or 4597142 gallons. SHEET 2 OF 2 4 . The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0. 3 inch per hour. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details. 5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. 6 . Repair any eroded 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. r h I I SHEET 1 OF 2 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, boulders,sod and rubbish. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoil from the lagoon and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on the dike and pad areas. After . stripping, the foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior to placing the first lift of fill material to get a good bond. EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT: ----------------------------------- The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines, grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthf ill 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. 5 ft. NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERIAL IS X • I ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE SOILS REPORT. f When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be'over-- excavated below finish grade to the specified depth as measured perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall be backfilled as specified to grade with a SCS approved material (ie - CL,SC,CH) . ' REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN THE PLANS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS. SHEET 2 OF 2 Soil 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. Water shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture content during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner material shall not be less than optimum 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 and the 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- tionaccording to the seeding specifications. Topsail should be placed on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch shall be used if the recommended permanent vegetation is out of season dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should be established as soon as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates. REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS ------------------------------- When tile drains are encountered, the the will be removed to a minimum of 10 feet beyond the outside toe of slope of the dike. The the trench shall be backfilled and compacted with good material such as SC, CL, or CH. f SEEDING SPECIFICATIONS AREA TO BE SEEDED: 10. 0 ACRES USE THE SEED MIXTURE INDICA°T'ED AS FOLLOWS: 600. 0 LBS.
