Ross Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Alan W_ Klimek, P. E., Director Division of Water Quality May 1, 2003 Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. AWS100029 Juniper Creek Swine Waste Collection, Treatment, Storage and Application System Brunswick County On April 28, 2003, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the Division of Water Quality (Division) to extend the expiration date of the Swine Waste Operation General Permit AWG100000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit. In accordance with your application received on February 18, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Marvin Evans, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The issuance of this 'COC supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS100029 which expired on April 30, 2003. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Juniper Creek, located in Brunswick County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 3552 Wean to Feeder swine and the application to land as specified in the facility's .Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 1, 2004. Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals. If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed. The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate under this permit convey any property tights in either real or personal property. *A E—NR Non -Discharge Permitting Unit 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Customer Service Center An Equal Opportunity Action Employer Internet httpJ/K2o.enr-gtate.ne.us/ndpu Telephone (919)733-5083 Fax (919)715-6048 Telephone 1-877-623-6748 50% recycled110% post -consumer paper Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit documentation to -the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking of the facility. .

This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of ' cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake. This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation. Animal operations that generate liquid waste and utilize waste storage facilities (lagoons or holding ponds) may apply more or less waste in any given year than is annually generated by the facility. In order to determine whether the plan adequately utilizes the waste produced by the facility, the storage capacity table included in this plan should be reviewed to ensure that the design capacity of the storage facility is not exceeded during the planning period. 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.

Infiltration rate varies with soils. If applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system, you must apply at a rate that will not result in runoff. This table provides the maximum application rate per hour that may be applied to each field selected to receive wastewater. It also lists the maximum application amount that each field may receive in any one application event.

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

Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage capacity available at the end of each month of the plan. Available storage 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 fold 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 IO 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). ------------------------------------------------------------- 886988 Database Version 1.06 Date Printed: 04-30-2001 Specification 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. S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters. 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 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 --------------------------------------- ------ - -------------------------- 886988 Database Version 1.06 Date Printed: 04-30-2001 Specification Page 2 into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied ar agronomic rates in a manner that causes not runoff or drift from 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 Iiquid 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. ------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- 886988 Database Version 1.06 Date Printed: 04-30-2001 Specification Page 3 Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for a minimum of five years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. ----------------------------------------------- --- -------------------------- 886988 Database Version 1.06 Date Printed: 04-30-2001 Specification Page 4 Crop Notes The following crop note applies to feld(s): I & 2 - 6, 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 14, 1-5 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% when planting no -till. Oats should be planted at 2 bushels/acre and rye at 1-1 1/2 bushels/acre. 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. The following crop note applies to field(s): I & 2 - 6, 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5 Bermudagrass CP, Mineral Soil, Poorly Drained to Somewhat Poorly Drained. Adaptation: Effective artificial drainage MUST be in place to achieve Realistic Yield Expectations provided for these soils. In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. I to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs I" to 3" deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing - conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced 1' to 1.5' in row. For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus, potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 lb/ac N in the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240 lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts. Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or extension agent for assistance. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 886988 Database Version 1.0( Date Printed: 04-30-2001 Crop Note Page 1 I I I�N s ---Vo THRUST BLOCK DETAIL NTS NSTRULImm HNC L B' A S' PTO PIPE 9$AI1 B1 B11IOND A WXW1711 OF 24 INCHES WWW GROUND SURFACE, 4' ®AIL HE $IIRRD A MOMM OF SO INCHES P- ALL PIPE MUM BE CUSS 160 CAM= M PVC.

E., Director Division of Water Quality xo -zg Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. AWS100029 Juniper Creek Swine Waste Collection, Treatment, Storage and Application System Brunswick County Dear Marvin Evans: On April 28, 2003, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the Division of Water Quality (Division) to extend the expiration date of the Swine Waste Operation General Permit AWG100000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with all interested parties on the development of a new versioAoft Non -Discharge General Permit. In accordance with your application received on Februa00 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you t 'ate of Coverage (COC) issued to Marvin Evans, authorizing the operation of the subject waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with Gener P AWGL00000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your previous CO�fi AWS100029 which expired on April 30, 2003. This approval shall consist of the operation'k 's system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Juniper Creek, located in Brunswick County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 3552 Wean to Feeder swine and the application to land as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance unti October 1, 2004. Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity wit the conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals. If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed. The issuance of this COC does not excuse the,Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.

Application of waste at agronomic rates to terraces and grassed waterways is acceptable in accordance with Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS) Standards. Facilities which are in compliance with their CAWMP and this permit, which unintentionally discharge as a result of a storm event greater than the 25-year, 24-hour storm, will not be considered to be in violation of this permit. 2. The CAWMP is hereby incorporated by reference into this general permit. New or expanding farms are required to be certified prior to the stocking of animals. The CAWMP must be consistent with all applicable statutes, rules and standards in effect at the time of siting, design and certification of the facility. Any violation of the CAWMP shall be considered a violation of this general permit and subject to enforcement actions. A violation of the General Permit may result in the Permittee having to take immediate or long term corrective action(s) as required by the Division of Water Quality. These actions may include modifying the CAWMP, ceasing land application of waste, or removing animals from the farm. 3. The facility may not be expanded above the capacity shown in the COC until a new COC reflecting the expansion has been issued. 4. A copy of this General Permit, COC, certification forms, .lessee and landowner agreements, and the CAWMP shall be readily available at the farm (stored at places such as the farm residence, office, outbuildings, etc.) where animal waste management activities are being conducted for the life of this permit. These documents shall be kept in good condition and records shall be maintained in an orderly fashion. 5. For all new and expanding operations, no collection or storage facilities may be constructed in a 100-year flood plain. 6. Existing swine dry lots may remain in wetlands as long as the wetlands uses are not removed or degraded as a result of the swine. The swine however may not be confined within 100 feet of an adjacent stream or a seasonally -flooded area The swine also must not cause a loss of more than 101/10 of the existing tree canopy. Where trees do not exist, the area must be managed to include crop rotation. II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS The collection, treatment, and storage facilities, and land application equipment and fields shall be maintained at all times and properly operated. 2. A vegetative cover shall be maintained on: all land application fields and buffers in accordance with the CAWMP. No waste may be applied upon fields not included in the CAWMP. 3. Lime must be applied, as needed, to maintain soil pH in the optimum range for crop production. 4. Land application rates shall be in accordance with the CAWMP. In no case shall land application rates exceed the Plant Available Nitrogen rate for the receiving crop or result in runoff during any given application. 5. Application of animal waste onto land which is used to grow crops for direct human consumption (e.g., strawberries, melons, lettuce, cabbage, apples, etc.) shall not occur following the planting of the crop or at any time during the growing season, or in the case of fruit bearing trees, following breaking dormancy. Application of animal wastes shall not occur within 30 days of the harvesting of fiber and food crops for direct human consumption that undergo further processing. 6. If manure or sludges are applied on conventionally tilled bare soil, the waste shall be incorporated into the soil within two (2) days after application on the land. This requirement does not apply to no -till fields, pasture, or fields where crops are actively growing. 7. Domestic and/or industrial wastewater from showers, toilets, sinks, etc. shall not be discharged into the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and application system. Washdown of stock trailers, owned by and used to transport animals to and from this farm only, will be permissible as long as the system can accommodate the additional volume. Only those detergents and disinfectants that are labeled by the manufacturer as readily biodegradable may be utilized. 8. Disposal of dead animals shall be done in accordance with the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (NCDACS) - Veterinary Division's regulations. 9. Unless accounted for in temporary storage volume, all uncontaminated runoff from the surrounding property and buildings shall be diverted away from the animal waste lagoons and storage ponds to prevent any unnecessary addition to the liquid volume in the structures. 10. A protective vegetative cover shall be established and maintained on all lagoon/storage pond embankments (outside toe of embankment to maximum pumping elevation), berms, pipe runs, and surface water diversions. Trees, shrubs, and other woody vegetation shall not be allowed to grow on the lagoon/waste storage pond embankments. All trees shall be removed in accordance with good engineering practices. Lagoon/waste storage pond areas shall be accessible, and vegetation shall be kept mowed. 11. At the time of sludge removal from a lagoon, the sludge must be managed in accordance with a CAWMP. When removal of sludge from the lagoon is necessary, provisions must be taken to prevent damage to lagoon dikes and liners. 2 -12. Lagoons/storage ponds shall be kept free of foreign debris including, but not limited to, tires, bottles, light bulbs, gloves, syringes or any other solid waste. 13. The facility must have one of the following items at all times (a) adequate animal waste application and Dandling equipment, (b) a lease, or other written agreement, for the use of the necessary equipment, (c) a contract with a third party applicator capable of providing adequate waste application, or (d) a contract for the purchase of the equipment. Equipment shall be capable of meeting pennit condition II (4). III. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS An inspection of the waste collection, treatment, and storage structures and runoff control measures shall be conducted at a frequency to insure proper operation but at least monthly and after storm events. For example, lagoons, storage ponds, and other structures should be inspected for evidence of erosion, leakage, damage by animals or discharge. Any major structural repairs (to lagoons or waste storage ponds) must have written documentation from a technical specialist certifying proper design and installation. However, if a piece of equipment is being replaced with a piece of equipment of the identical specifications, no technical specialist approval is necessary [i.e. piping, reels, valves, pumps (if the GPM capacity is not being increased or decreased), etc.]. 2. If not already installed at this facility, a waste -level gauge to monitor waste levels shall be installed within 60 days of issuance of the COC under this general permit. This gauge shall have readily visible permanent markings indicating the maximum liquid level at the top of the temporary liquid storage volume, minimum liquid level at the bottom of the temporary liquid storage volume, top of the dam elevations. Where storage ponds are utilized, only a gauge indicating the maximum liquid level at the top of the temporary liquid storage volume and top of dam elevations need be installed. Caution must be taken not to damage the integrity of the liner when installing the gauge. Waste lagoon and storage pond levels shall be recorded weekly on forms supplied or approved by the DWQ. For level gauges already installed, the gauge shall have at a minimum: readily visible permanent markings indicating the maximum liquid level at the top of the temporary liquid storage volume and minimum liquid level at the bottom of the temporary liquid storage volume. 3. A representative Standard Soil Fertility Analysis, including pH, copper, and zinc, shall be conducted annually on each application field receiving animal waste. The results of these tests shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for a minimum of three years and shall be made available to the DWQ upon request. 4. An analysis of the animal waste shall be conducted as close to the time of application as practical and at least within 60 days (befdre or after) of the date of application. This analysis shall include the following parameters: Nitrogen Zinc Phosphorous Copper S. Records, including land application event(s) and removal of solids to an off -site location(s) records, shall be maintained by the Permittee in chronological and legible form for a minimum of three years. These records shall be maintained on forms provided or approved by the DWQ and shall be readily available for inspection. 3 6. Regional Notification: The Permittee shall report by telephone to the appropriate Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following events: a. Failure of any component of the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system resulting in a discharge to surface waters. b. Any failure of the animal waste treatment and disposal system that renders the facility incapable of adequately receiving, treating or storing the animal waste and/or sludge. c. A spill or discharge from a vehicle transporting animal waste or sludge to the , land application field which results in, a discharge to surface waters or an event that poses a serious threat to surface waters. d. Any deterioration or leak in a lagoon/storage pond that poses an immediate threat to the environment. e. Failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage greater than or equal to that required in Condition V (3) of this General Permit. f. Overapplying animal waste either in excess of the limits set out in the CAWMP or where runoff enters surface waters. g. Any discharge that bypasses a lagoon/storage pond resulting in a discharge to surface waters or that poses a serious threat to the environment. For any emergency which requires immediate reporting after normal business hours, please contact the Division of Emergency Management at 1-800-858-0368. The Permittee shall also file a written report to the appropriate DWQ Regional Office of the occurrence within 5 calendar days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report shall outline the actions taken or proposed to be taken to correct the problem and to ensure that the problem does not recur. The requirement to file a written report may not be waived by the DWQ Regional Office. IV. INSPECTIONS Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the DWQ may, upon presentation of credentials and in accordance with reasonable and appropriate biosecurity measures, enter and inspect any property, premises or place on or related to the collection, treatment, storage and land application system at any reasonable time for the purpose of determining compliance with this permit; may inspect and obtain a copy of any records that must be kept under the terms and conditions of this permit; and may obtain samples of the animal waste, groundwater, soil, plant tissue, or surface water. V. GENERAL CONDITIONS I. The issuance of a COC under this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages to surface waters or ground waters resulting from the animal operation. 2. The Permittee shall designate a certified animal waste management system operator to be in charge (01C) of the animal waste management system. The animal waste management system shall be operated by the OIC or a person under the OIC's supervision. 0 The maximum waste level in lagoons/storage ponds shall not exceed that specified in the CAWMP. At a minimum, maximum waste level for lagoons/storage ponds must not exceed the level that provides adequate storage to contain the 25-year, 24-hour storm event plus an additional 1 foot of structural freeboard. In addition to the above requirements, for new and expanding farms with lagoon designs completed after September 1, 1996, storage must also be provided for the heavy rainfall factor for lagoons without an outside drainage area. In the case of lagoons/storage ponds in series that are gravity fed, the 25-year, 24-hour storm event and/or the heavy rainfall factor storage requirements for the system may be designed into the lowest lagoon/storage pond in the system. However, adequate freeboard must be designed into each of the upper lagoons/storage ponds to allow sufficient storage to prevent the waste level from raising into the structural freeboard while the storm water is draining into the lowest lagoon in the system. 4. Should the DWQ have good reason to believe that any activities conducted pursuant to this permit may cause or contribute any waste, directly or indirectly, to be intermixed with the waters of the State, the DWQ may require any monitoring (including but not limited to groundwater, surface water, animal waste, sludge, soil and plant tissue) necessary to determine the source, quantity, quality, and effect of such waste upon the waters of the State. Such monitoring, including its scope, frequency, duration and any sampling, testing, and reporting systems, shall meet all applicable Environmental Management Commission requirements. "Good Reason" may be based on the findings of a related Federal, State, Commission or DENR authorized study or report, or other evidence showing that violations of State water quality standards or other applicable environmental standards have occurred or -may occur. 5. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this permit, the facility's CAWMP and/or any COC issued under this permit may subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the DWQ in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes and may include the requirement to obtain an individual non -discharge permit and/or the modification of the animal waste management system 6. The issuance of a COC under this permit does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances (local, state, and federal). 7. if animal production ceases, the Permittee shall close the lagoons/storage ponds in accordance with Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) lagoon/storage pond closure standards or develop and implement an animal waste management plan in accordance with NRCS standards. Closure shall also include notifying the DWQ and submittal of the Animal Waste Storage Pond and Lagoon Closure Report Form to DWQ- Water Quality Section- Non -Discharge Branch within 15 days of completion of closure. 8. The annual permit fee shall be paid by the Permittee within thirty (30) days after being billed by the Division. Failure to pay the fee accordingly constitutes grounds for revocation of the COC granting coverage under this General Permit. 9. Failure of the Permittee to maintain, in full force and effect, lessee and landowner agreements which are required in the CAWMP, shall constitute grounds for revocation of the COC granting coverage under this General Permit. 10. This permit allows for the distribution of manure up to 4 cubic yards per visit to individuals for personal use. k 11. The Groundwater Compliance Rnnndary for the. disco gal iysk--m c'mv:f "iw.(cd Alct December 31, 1983, is established at either (1) 250 feet from the waste structures and from the waste disposal area, or (2) 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is closest to the waste structures and the waste disposal area. If this facility was constructed prior to December 31, 1983, the Compliance Boundary is established at either (1) 500 feet from the waste disposal area, or (2) at the property boundary, whichever is closest to the waste disposal area. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to the requirements of 15A NCAC 2L and the Division in addition to the penalty provisions applicable under the North Carolina General Statutes.

Since we had two houses that needed more Waft in the pit. We had just been through the shipping and receiving process and had very small pigs (nursery) that within would mean less waste going into the lagoon at this time. Tuesday, April 22, 2003, I received a certified letter from DWQ. A NOV. The letter stated that I bad ten days from the date of receiving to comply with requests make in the letter_ The letter requested records dating back one year. I think this is excessive, since those records were inspected by state representatives in November, 2002. This a lot of paper to be copied and readied for delivery_ This request places an over -burden, considering the fact that we are very busy trying to get our hay off our irrigation spray field, lower our lagoon level, get ready for conttnctual no -trill re -sprigging next week, and add the fact that tomorrow we will be going through our regular state inspection. We need more time. I called yesterday when we received another letter from DWQ about this matter. I have tried several times to speak with you today. I will keep trying, however in the maim time I am faxing this memo to you. If possible, I need an answer today_ Tomorrow is my deadline date.

Smatary Deparrmnt of Ermron.w and Nawral Rwour es Alan W. If% ob. P.E. W aster ■� `— Division ar wow �I>41 April 25, 2003 Dear Producer. It has come to my attention that correspondence you recently received from the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) regarding a Notice of Violation (NOV) and the associated request for information has caused some concern among producers. The purpose of this letter is to give you additional information about the reasons behind the letters and how this information will be used. In accordance with current DWQ policy, we issued NOV's to all facilities that had non -compliant freeboard levels. This is true for both producers who report these violations to DWQ as well as those violations that were identified or verified by DWQ staff. I understand that unfortunately some producers may be feeling that they made a mistake by reporting noncompliant freeboard because, after ter repotted, they received a NOV. We believe that reporting was the correct and appropriate dag to da By so doing, you have protected yourself from a Civil penalty for violating the self -reporting requirement that applies to non -compliant freeboard_ We have taken or will be taking appropriate enforcement acting against any producer who failed to make the required report By reporting, you avoided an enforcetneW action for failure to report. We acknowledge and appreciate the efforts of the many conscientious producers who made every reasonable effort to properly manage their facilities. We also acknowledge and appreciate those producers who notified us of problems with freeboard levels and who have worked diligently with our division to manage lagoon levels at their farms_ These efforts, along with the requested information, will definitely be taken into consideration as DWQ considers any further actions. We have requested additional information from producers to enable us to determine the site -specific factors that resulted in freeboard non-compliance at each facility. We will look at each case on its merits Where the facts and law support and call for an enforcement action such as a civil penalty, we have taken that action or will be taking it. However, just because you received an NOV for non -compliant fma owd levels does not mean that we will take an additional, more serious enforcement action sgainst your facility. We also recognize that reporting this information will take effort on the part of producers at a time when various circumstances have already increased the demands on your time and attention. For that reason, is the NOV's we initially added five days to the time within which this information is required by your permits to be submitted. If you have circumstances Omt will make meeting the 10-day deadline rrnre+sonably urdensome to you, please contact your, regional DWQ office and discuss your individual situation with them. Based on the explanation provided, when appropriate we will rriske every is a to " work with you to establish a short extension of time for the submittal of the requested information. I 91 I hope this letter will help clarify any questions or concerns that you may have had. Sincerely, } 4' Alan W. Klimek mek, P.E.

This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of. cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake. This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation. Animal operations that generate liquid waste and utilize waste storage facilities (lagoons or holding ponds) may apply more or less waste in any given year than is annually generated by the facility. In order to determine whether the plan adequately utilizes the waste produced by the facility, the storage capacity table included in this plan should be reviewed to ensure that the design capacity of the storage facility is not exceeded during the planning period. 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.

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

Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage capacity available at the end of each month of the plan. Available storage 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. Available.

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 fold 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). -------------------------------------------------------------- 886988 Database Version 1.06 Date Printed: 04-30-2001 Specification 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. 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 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 886988 Database Version 1.06 Date Printed: 04-30-2001 Specification Page 2 into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied ar agronomic rates in a manner that causes not runoff or drift from 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. 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. 886988 Database Version 1.06 Date Printed: 04-30-2001 Specification Page 3 r___N, Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for a minimum of five years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. ----------------------------------------------.---------------------------------------- 886988 Database Version 1.06 Date Printed: 04-30-2001 Specification Page 4 t' Crop Notes The following crop note applies to field(s): 1 & 2 - 6, 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 14, 1-5 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% when planting no -till. Oats should be planted at 2 bushels/acre and rye at 1-1 1/2 bushels/acre. 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. The following crop note applies to field(s): 1 & 2 - 6, 1-1, 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5 Bermudagrass CP, Mineral Soil, Poorly Drained to Somewhat Poorly Drained. Adaptation: Effective artificial drainage MUST be in place to achieve Realistic Yield Expectations provided for these soils. In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. 1 to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs I" to 3" deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a fate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced 1' to 1.5' in row. For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus, potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 lb/ac N in the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240 lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts. Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or extension agent for assistance. ------------- 886988 Database Version 1.0( Date Printed: 04-30-2001 Crop Note Page 1 ammmucamLimm L Ir k S' PVC PIPS SHALL BE HUSUM A WDUHUM OF Z4 DI® EN OE GROUND BCHfICI $ SHALL ES HUAflm A M@IDR]Y OP SO WMES P ALL PIPE SHALL BE CIAO W GAGXX= M PVC.

AMIC--November 11, 1996 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN ------------------------------------------------------------- Producer: MARVIN EVANS Location: 6656 MYRTLE HEAD RD ASH NC 28420 Telephone: 910-287-3285 Type Operation: Existing Wean to Feeder Swine Number of Animals: 3552.00 pigs (Design Capacity) STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon APPLICATION METHOD: Irrigation The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe 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 not 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 DEM regulations. 9 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Page: 1 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 3552 pigs x .40 tons waste/pigs/year = 1420.8 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 3552 pigs x .48 lbs PAN/pigs/year = 1704.96 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.

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 269.952 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 1349.76 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 4.4992 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 10.79808 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility'of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Page: 6 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN -------------------------------------------------------------- amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. The following table is provided as a guide for 'establishing application rates and amounts. Tract Field Soil Type Crop Application Rate (in/hr) Applic.

In many situations, the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. 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 stracture be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Page: 7 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED 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. 5. 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: 8 -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 inton 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: 9 -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 then 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 (S) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina requlations.

(Landowner Signature) AMOC--November 11. 1996 i o8/05/98 12:49 '09102962122 USDA MRCS L OFFRArflON & 1vMARMNANCE PLAN Proper lagoon liquid management should be a -round priority. It is especia .y important to manage levels so that you do not ave problems during extended rainy and wet periods. Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime This means that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste utilization plan will allow it. Waiting until the Iagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to irrigate does not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods. Overflow from the lagoon foF any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of state law and subject to penalty action. ` The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following: Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam. Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be fertilised each year, if needed, to maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertiliser applied should be based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or equivalent. Brush and trees on they embankment must be controlled. This may be done by mowing, spraying, g az ng, chopping, or a combination of these practices. This should be done at least once a year and possibly twice in years, that weather conditions are favorable for heavy vegetative growth_ NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating the waste. Maintenance -inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be checked should include, as a minimum, the following: Waste Inlett Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes —look for: 1. separation of joints 2. cracks or breaks 3. accumulation of salts or minerals 4. overall condition of pipes 0$/05/98 12:51 09102962122 USDA NRC5 fM 002 Lagoon surface ---look for: 1. undesirable vegetative growth 2, floating or lodged debris Embankment ---look for: 1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes 2. side slope stability ---slumps or bulges 3. wet or damp areas on the back slope 4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action 5. rodent damage Larger lagoons may be subject to linter damage due to wave action caused by strong winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam. A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewali, baffles in the lagoon may be used to reduce the wave impacts. Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your lagoon has any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a threat of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless recommended by an appropriate technical expert. Transfer Pumps --check for proper operation of: 1. recycling pumps 2. irrigation pumps Check for leaks, Ioose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding noise, or a large arnount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or replacement. NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you are not completely "surprised" by e4uipment failure. You should perform your pumping system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some safety time should major repairs be required. Halving a nearly full lagoon is not the fime to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full, your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spy parts or pumps.' Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing (washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly. You should inspect your diversion system for the following: I . adequate vegetation 2. diversion capacity 3. ridge berm height 08/05/98 12:52 129102962122 USDA MRCS 0 003 Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate ems. You should record the level of the laoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount (you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the lagoon from the surrounding land. 14goon Operation Startup: 1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil surfaces to avoid erosion. 2. Fill new IiVoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes. 3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of the lining- 4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather). 5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy worldng swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the fall lagoon liquid volume. This seeding should occour at least two weeks prior to the addition of wastewater. 6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below, 7.01 add agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid volume until the pffrises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid pRis between 7.5 and 8.0. 7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm season. Loading: The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained and. recharged each day, also work well. 08/05/98 12:53 V9102962122 USDA MRCS Q 004 Practice water conservation ----minimize building water usage and spillage from leaking waterers, brokers pipes and washdown through proper maintenance and water conservation. Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon Management: Maintain lagoon liquid Ievel between the permanent storage level and the full temporary storage level, Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1). Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring -based on nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly, irrigate in the late summerlearly fall to provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter. The lagoon ligizid lcvel should newer be closer than 1 foot to the lowest point of the dam or embankment. Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage level unless you are removing sludge. Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible. Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation, molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon. Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or wherever they are installed. Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control new lagoon edges. Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment. Remove sludge from the Iagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is full or before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume. If animal:production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a closure plans to eliminate the possibility of a pollutant discharge. Sludge Removal: Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by: o8/05/98 12:54 $9102962122 tzSDA NRCS €m 005 proper lagoon sizing, mechanical solids separation of flushed waste, gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or minimizing feed wastage and spillage. Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will: have more nutrients, have more odor, and require more land to properly use the nutrients. Removal techniques: Rim a custom applicator. Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland; and soil incorporate_ Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into Liquid sludge applicator; haul and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate. Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain -back into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate. Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3. When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it moist be repaired as soon as possible. Sludge removed from the Iagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with.low phosphorus and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphores, it should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value. The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site. Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other cnnrlitions which could increase the concern of neighbors. O8/05/98 12:56 '$9102962122 USDA NRCS (a) 006 Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures Include: Modification of the lagoon structure ---an example is the placement of a pipe in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams.) Lagoon liquid levels ---high levels are a safety risk. Failure to inspect and maintain the dam. Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon. Liner integrity ---protect from inlet pipe scouring, damage during sludge removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater table. NOTE- If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon cause gullies to form in the darn. Once this damage starts, it can quicldy cause a large discharge of wastewater and possible dam failure.

The time required for the planned fluid level to be reached may vary due to soil conditions,flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. 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 runoff from the field or 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. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see Attachment B) before land application. 3. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva- tion 52.1 as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches elevation 50.1 or before fluid depth is less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the lose of favorable bacteria) . 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.4 inch per hour. S. 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. 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.

If you remove the sludge every 5 years,' you will have approximately 1349.76 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 4.4992 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 10.79808 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. _Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods . APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids.

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. 1RR1, IRR2, DRYI, DRY2, DRYS, SLURI, SLUR2, SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an appropriate enforcement action.

Cardinal Drive Wilmington, NC 28405 Re: Certified Mail # Z 312 646 162 Inspection July 16, 1998 I AUG 11 1998 We were furnished a copy of your letter by Carroll Foods before we were notified by the Post Office that we also had been sent a certified letter. We assured the inspector on his visit that it was our intentions to comply as closely as possible with all regulations. Some of the deficiencies sighted in the letter were not mention at the time of inspection. However, we have and are making every effort to correct the noted deficiencies. We now have an up-to-date waste analysis. We have made adjustments in our calculations on the lagoon records to reflect the correct PAN. We now have a form to record weekly lagoon levels, and we are using it. The information from records have been transferred to the IRR 1 & 2 forms. Mr. Ricks is getting, for us, the software package from the state for waste -management records. From the beginning, our spray field was set up to be grazed by cattle. We are not real sure how cows could possibly graze without utilizing the area. The bare areas (two in fact) are questionable as to allowing sediment to enter adjacent ditches to the field. (1) bare area: the west corner is much higher than the surrounding area and sloped in_a manner that runoff runs back into the field. Though it is inside the perimeter fence, it is not part of the 14 acres assigned for spraying and is not sprayed. It is a stockpile of soil for future building pads. It is not good soil and for the purpose intended does not have to be. It is disc at regular intervals and seeded. Also, we have been able to get a growth of grass started because of the discing, seeding, and occasionally feeding coastal Bermuda hay to the cows on this area. The left -over hay is incorporated into the soil by discing, lime and fertilizer are spread before discing. It is slow, but we are continually trying, with hopeful results. There is a beginning crop of grass on this area. (2) bare area: since it is necessary to water livestock, we have a concrete water trough in the pasture from which the cows drink. There is an area of about eight feet surrounding the trough, the cows have stomped the grass off. The water is fresh water furnished by an underground line from the well to the trough. On occasion the trough is unattended longer than we intended, and it over -flows. To alleviate this problem we have placed, in the trough, a float that cuts off the water at a level that does not allow over -flowing. Also, we are going to move the trough away from the low area and install a small berm in front to stop run- off from around the water trough. Representatives from Carroll Foods visited August 4, 1998, inspected the property, and discuss the deficiencies sighted. Suggestions were made by them as to correcting problem areas and record -keeping. They also supplied forms, information, and contacts for help. Their visit was very. informative and we are following their suggestions. We have also discussed this letter and other concerns related to regulations and compliance with Mr. Phil Ricks of the Extension Service. He, also, has been very helpful to us in our efforts to comply with regulations, -get information, and answer questions we have. There is one suggestion we would like to make. That is, that guest, those person(s) not employed by the DENR, not accompany the WQC inspectors on visits to our farm, unless we are notified, prior to the visit that these "guest" may be expected.

During the inspection, it was observed that you had several items that require attention. First of all, irrigation records were not readily available and irrigation records provided to this office after the inspection are not correct. Secondly, bare areas in spray field #1 are allowing sediment to enter the ditches adjacent to the field. Lastly, lagoon level records are not being kept. As discussed at the time of the inspection, record keeping must be improved. A weekly schedule must be established for keeping records of the lagoon level. Irrigation records sent to this office after the inspection have a number of problems. It is fine to use a spreadsheet to aid in keeping such records, but information must be transferred to the IRR forms in a timely manner with up to date records kept on the farm. As for specific problems with records supplied to this office, the following problems are duly noted. Monthly record for winter cover crop list coastal bermuda when in fact this should be small grain as indicated in the waste plan. Most records fail to list any crop at all. Incorrect Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) loading rates are being used in all records. Irrigation records must be revised immediately on approved IRR forms and in accordance to the Waste Utilization Plan. Using the wrong PAN could result in an unintentional over application of waste. Over application could result in a violation and would require a reduction in the allowance for the next rotation. 127 North Cardinal Dr., Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 Telephone 910-395-3900 FAX 910-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Page 2 Marvin Evans July 24, 1998 Bare areas in spray field #1 are being caused by cattle utilizing the field. Such areas are high use or loafing areas for the cattle with no vegetation covering the ground. Sediment is making its way from these areas to ditches adjacent to the field. Cattle should be excluded from the bare area along the ditch at the back of field to allow a vegetative buffer to be established. The watering trough should be moved frequently enough to keep vegetation covering the ground. Placement of the trough away from field edges will help reduce sediment leaving the field and entering the grassed waterways and ditches. You must notify this office. in writing within fourteen (14) days -of the receipt of this notice, . what actions are being taken to correct these deficiencies. Failure to do so may result:in the facility losing its deemed permitted status and being required to obtain an individual non discharge permit. We suggest that you contact your service company, the local NRCS office, or the Soil and Water District office for any assistance they may be able to provide to correct this situation. Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes to discharge wastewater to the surface waters of the State without a permit. The Division of Water Quality has the authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $10,000 per day per violation.

It was observed that wastewater was present in a roadside ditch adjacent to spray fields indicating a past discharge. While no discharge of waste was observed to waters of the state at the time -of inspection, any rainfall event could likely result in the discharge of waste from the ditch. As was discussed during the inspection, the pipe which carries drainage from the irrigation fields to the roadside ditch should be blocked while spraying or removed altogether. If possible, it is suggested that the field ditch/waterway be filled to prevent future runoff of waste. In addition, the operator must keep spray records to ensure that waste is being applied at proper agronomic and hydrologic rates. We suggest that you contact your Iocaal NRCS or Soil and Water District for any assistance they may be able to provide to correct this situation. 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 it's deemed permitted status, requiring it to obtain an individual non discharge permit. 127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, N.C. 28405-3845 0 Telephone 910-395-3900 0 Fax 910-350-20014 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer ru 1rm mv�CO C3 Q = ' d C S) z I 0 4fl ` ti rn m CD F 566 t IIa W ORBS ---I Scl SENDER: .0 ■ Comdata items t andlor 2 for addtttonal services.

The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a designation- form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H .0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty. If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office. Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.

It was observed that your waste lagoon had insufficient freeboard. NRCS guidelines for Best Management Practices require a minimum of one foot seven inches of freeboard. This is based on the amount of storage space needed to contain a 25-year storm event of 24 hours duration. Your lagoon should be pumped down to meet the minimum freeboard requirement. The wastewater spraying activity should be done in accordance with MRCS standards which will prevent runoff from your spray field(s). To remain a deemed permitted facility, all corrective actions must be made within seven (7) days. Failure to do so may result in the facility losing it's deemed permitted status, requiring a certified waste management plan and certification form for the facility to be submitted prior to the December 31, 1997 deadline, and being required to obtain an individual non discharge permit for the facility. Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes to discharge wastewater to the surface waters of the State without a permit. The Division of Environmental Management has the authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $10,000 per day per violation. 127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, N.C. 28405-3845 • Telephone 910-395-3900 • Fax M-350-2004 An Equal opportunity Affirmative Action Employer : Marvin Evans August 10, 1996 Page 2 When the required corrective actions are complete, please notify this office in writing at the address below.

Steven west, Environmental Chemist Dave Adkins, Regional Water Quality Supervisor, FROM: Marvin L. Evan•, Owner Juniper Creek Farm RE: Certified letter received this day. July 18, 1995, two men, identifying themselves as employees of DEM, visited my farm for the stated reason to inspect my waste lagoon and spray field. They spoke with my wife. Upon inspection, she was told that things looked good, w6 needed to get with Harold Jones from Brunswick county Si�ils and Conservation to get the forms to keep records of our", waste disposal operation. she wag also told to spray eery day that weather and moisture permitted. She was not giv6n a written cosy or anything to keep in -our records to verify • the inspection or the results. We say we,should have been given this information at the time of inspection. At no time during the inspection was anything about the lack of "Free Board" mentioned. My concern is, if things were found as stated in the letter, why was nothing said that day to my wife or Harold Jones. Also, I am concerned about the failure of those person doing the inspection to record properly the location of my farm, and to notify person(s) that could help me correct the stated problems. I am that even though Harold Jonas was present during the inspection, neither of the persons doing the inspection took the time to tell him of the problems found. If he had been told, the problem would be taken care now, I dv nbt iiv6 in Duplin County, own property in Duplin County, work in Duplin, or know anyone in Duplin. Considering the lack of correct information, I am requesting that my farm be inspected again at an appointed time, and --- a copy of the reporl.be given to either myself or my wife. I do not think this request unreasonable, because if they • did not know which county they were in, how can they be sure whose farm was whose. I can be reached at (910) 287-3285 or (910) 287-5090, When you plan to r$visit my farm, please ca11 to assure that Borne- . one is there to meet with you. Directions to my farm from Wilmington are as follows: Take US 17 south from Wilmington to the intersection of NC 130 west at shallotte. At that stop light take a right turn toward Whitevi Ile, go past the fire tower to the first paved road on right. This will be Big Neuk Rd., follow that road to a stop sign at a cross- road, go straight across the intersection and you are on Myrtle Head Rd.. Travel about four miles and on the right is a church. Across from the church is a gravel farm road with a Carroll's Foods sign beside it. My farm is about 2600 feet up that road on the right. am sending along with this memo a copy of the letter received today from you.

Preston Howard, Jr., P.E., Director February 17, 1994 Marvin Evans 6656 Mrytle Head Road Ash NC 28420 Dear Mr_ Evans: This is to inform you that your completed registration form required by the recently modified nondischarge rule has been received by the Division of Environmental. Management (DEM), Water Quality Section. On December 10, 1992 the Environmental Management Commission adopted a water quality rule which governs animal waste management systems. The goal of the rule is for animal operations to be managed such that animal waste is not discharged to surface waters of the state. The rule. allows animal waste systems to be "deemed permitted" if certain minimum criteria are met (15A NCAC 2H .0217). By submitting this registration you have met one of the criteria for being deemed permitted. We would like to remind you that existing feedlots which meet the size thresholds listed in the rule, and any new or expanded feedlots constructed between February 1, 1993 and December 31, 1993 must submit a signed certification form (copy enclosed) to DEM by December 31, 1997. New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31, 1993 must obtain signed certification before animals are stocked on the farm. Certification of an approved animal waste management plan can be obtained after the Soil and Water Conservation Commission adopts rules later this year. We appreciate you providing us with this information. If you have any question about the new nondischarge rule, please contact David Harding at (919) 733-5083.
