Director
In accordance with your October 17, 2016 request to change operation type without exceeding the permitted
steady state live weight, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to
Murphy -Brown LLC, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste management system in
accordance with General Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
and land application of animal waste as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan
(CAWMP) for Farm 3417, located in Columbus County, with a swine animal capacity of no greater than
the following annual averages:
Wean to Finish: Feeder to Finish: 10,008 Boar/Stud:-
Wean to Feeder: Farrow to Wean: 2,400 Gilts:
Farrow to Finish: Farrow to Feeder: Other:
If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may be one boar for each 15 sows. Where
boars are unnecessary, 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.
This COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2019, and shall hereby void
Certificate of Coverage Number AWS240001 dated October 1, 2014. 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.
Please read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit carefully. Please nay careful attention to the
record keening and monitoring conditions in this permit._ Record keeping forms are unchanged with this
General Permit. Please continue to -use the same record keeping forms.
If your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) has been developed based on site -specific information, careful
evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current WUP is inaccurate
you will need to have a new WUP developed.

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 be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWQ regulations.
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.
1 of 8

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. 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.

This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant
available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above.
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements.
In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed
through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they
reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a
height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care
should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere
with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen
being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is
the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is
recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

Acres shown in the preceding table 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 following table describes the annual nitrogen accumulation rate per animal
in the lagoon sludge
Farm Specifications PAN r/animal Farm Totallyr
Farrow to Wean 0.84
2200 Farrow to Feeder 1 2200
Farrow to Finish 4.1
Wean to Feeder 0.072
9200 Feeder to Finish 0.36 3312
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 5512 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon
sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 27560 pounds of plant
available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 91 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 220.48 acres of land. Please note that these
are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values
may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application
Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific
application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal.
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 the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
`This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount
of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. 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 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the
waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of
freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment
is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. 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 prior to applying the waste.

NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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 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 Utilization Plan
when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of
application, recievinq crop type, or available land.
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).
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 land application field.
When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland_ When waste is applied to conservation tilled
crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur
during a season prone to flooding (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for
guidance).
7 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
surface is frozen.

NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
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 than 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
discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland
provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical
specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge
directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at
agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16 Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall
not be discharged into the animal waste management system.

NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
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. 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 soil 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 minimumof three years.
Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for a minimumof five
years.
23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

If your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) has been developed based on site -specific information, careful
evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current WUP is inaccurate
you will need to have a new WUP developed.
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.
Per 15A NCAC 2T .0105(h) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100-foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any wetted area of a
spray field.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief.
If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after the expiration date of the

As required by NPDES permit number NCA224001, issued to Farm 3417 in Columbus County, a
sludge survey was performed on the lagoon on this farm on or around 12117/2003. Based on the current
sludge scoring system, the lagoon serving the finishing farm had more sludge than is currently
recommended. There was an average of 2.53' of sludge, resulting in a sludge score of 3.54'.
After reviewing lagoon performance to date, based on lagoon analysis and management issues, it
is clear that the lagoon is functioning properly, and that current sludge levels are causing no problems.
Based on the lagoon performance to date, and the fact that the sludge score is only .46' less than that
required, we have decided that the best course of action is to treat each of this lagoon with a biological
product intended to enhance the lagoons inherent sludge treatment capability. Research on various
biological products has been ongoing for several years within Murphy -Brown LLC, with several
demonstrating applicability in these types of situations. Biological treatment will begin during the month
of May, and will continue for a period of 6 to 12 months. Sludge levels will be monitored periodically
during the treatment period. We feel confident that our next required sludge survey will show a reduction
in sludge. If the Division would like us to submit our interim sludge surveys, or additional
documentation/explanation of the method and/or product to be used, please let me know.
I have enclosed a copy of the sludge survey form for this lagoon for your review. It is my
understanding that this letter satisfies the permit requirement to submit a sludge management plan to the
Division for any lagoon with less than 4 feet of sludge free treatment zone. If there are any questions or
concerns with our current sludge management plan for this farm, please feel free to contact me at (910) 293
5330.

Dear Brown's of Carolina, Inc.:
Thank you for your recent submittal of the information requested in our letter dated June 6, 2003.
We greatly appreciate the effort that you made in compiling this information and sending it to
our Wilmington Regional Office. We also appreciate the fact that you reported the problem with
high freeboard to our staff as required by your permit and worked with our staff to manage the
problem once it occurred. Upon reviewing the submitted records, staff have determined that the
issuance of this Notice of Deficiency is the appropriate action for the noncompliant lagoon
levels.
In the future, please continue to evaluate ways to maintain freeboard levels in the required range.
These methods include, but are not limited to, water conservation practices, adding additional
application sites, updating your cropping systems, adding additional and/or more flexible
application equipment, and maintaining the lagoon levels dt the lowest allowable and appropriate
levels throughout the year. Our staff looks forward to continuing to work with you and your
Technical Specialist to evaluate and implement any needed changes to your system.

On May 27, 2003, a representative of your farm informed the Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) that there was high freeboard in your lagoon(s). DWQ needs more information to
determine the site -specific factors that resulted in the high freeboard at your farm.
Please provide the Wilmington Regional Office with the reasons for the high freeboard
and your plan to prevent future freeboard violation(s). This explanation and plan must include
but is not limited to the following:
• Current freeboard level(s)
• Freeboard records for the past 12 months
• Spraying records for the past 12 months
• Rainfall records for the past 12 months for your farm (if available)
• A copy of your waste utilization plan (W-UP) If your crops did not comply with your
WUP, provide details of the crops you did have for the past 12 months.

Dear Mr. Simmons:
This is to notify Brown's of Carolina, Inc., who holds Certificate of Coverage
AWS240001 under Swine Waste General Permit AWG100000 issued pursuant to North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.1, of violations of the General Permit.
On November 21, 2000, Mr. Trent Allen of the Fayetteville Regional Office of the
Division of Soil and Water Conservation conducted a compliance inspection for the referenced
facility. During the inspection, Mr. Allen noted the following:
I) Field 43 hydrant # 1 solid set sprinklers are throwing 360 degrees causing waste to
be thrown into the woods. This is a violation of Part II. Operation and
Maintenance Requirements, Section 1 of the General Permit which requires that
the land application equipment and fields be maintained at all times and properly
operated.
2) _ _ The Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP)-under the Nutrient
Management Plan (NMP) for the referenced facility allows Plant Available
Nitrogen (PAN) to be applied to the small grain crop at a rate of up to 75 lbs/acre
on hydrants 45 and 913. As of November'-? 1. 2000, PAN was applied to the
2000-2001 small grain crop at the rate of 82 lbs/acre and 81 lbslacre on hydrant #5
and hvdrant 413, respectively. Also. the NMP allows PAN to be applied to the

small grain crop at a rate of up to 100 lbs/acre on hydrant #30. As of November
21, 2000, PAN was applied to the 2000-2001 small grain crop at the rate of 161
lbs/acre on hydrant #30. These are violations of Part II. Operation and
Maintenance Requirements, Section 4 of the General Permit which requires that
land application rates shall be in accordance with the CAWMP and in no case
shall land application rates exceed the PAN rate for the receiving crop.
3) The CAWMP for the referenced facility allows PAN to be applied at a rate of
greater than 50 lbs/acre on the small grain crop on hydrants #12, 26, 28B, and 29.
The CAWMP requires that up to 50 lbs/acre of PAN may be applied to the small
grain crop between September 15 and October 30 while the remaining amount
may be applied in February and March. As of November 21, 2000, PAN was
applied to the 2000-2001 small grain crop at rates of 64, 51, 98, and 86 lbslacre on
hydrants #12, 26, 28B, and 29, respectively. These are violations of Part It.
Operation and Maintenance Requirements, Section 4 of the General Permit which
requires that land application rates shall be in accordance with the CAWMP and
in no case shall land application rates exceed the PAN rate for the receiving crop.
Also, animal waste was applied to the 2000 Bermuda crop after August 31, 2000
on fields which have a PAN allowance of greater than 50 lbs/acre on the small
grain crop; the CAWMP requires that the last application of animal waste to the
bermuda crop be applied prior to August 31 on fields which allow a PAN rate
greater than 501bs/acre to be applied to the small grain crop.
Please submit a P1anx)f Action which addresses the above noted violations. The Plan of
Action should include a list of any and all modifications that have been and will be implemented
to correct the noted violations and prevent their recurrence along with a timetable for completion
of the modifications. The written Plan of Action must be submitted to this office within ten (10)
days of receipt of this notice.
Be advised that the Division of Water Quality may take further action in these matters
including assessment of civil penalties, injunctive relief, and permit revocation.

Subject: Notice of Violation
Farm #17
Facility Number: 24-1
Columbus County
Dear Mr. Shiver,
RErt 'iJ T S^J1
MAR 2 7 �001
This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation letter for BOC #17 dated March 9, 2001,
received by our office on March 12, 2001. The following will serve as a Plan of Action for the noted
violations.
On November 21, 2000, Mr. Trent Allen of the Fayetteville Regional Office of the Division of
Soil and Water Conservation conducted a compliance inspection for the referenced facility and noted the
following:
The first noted violation refers to field #3 hydrant #1, which contains solid set sprinklers. It was
noted that a couple of sprinklers located close to the edge of the woods could spray in a 360- degree pattern
and could be throwing wastewater into the woods. No sign of wastewater was found in the woods. To
prevent the possibility of spraying into the woods in the future, these sprinklers, if not already, will be
changed to part circle sprinklers that will ensure that no wastewater is sprayed into the woods.
The second noted violation refers to applications of PAN over the recommended rate listed for
hydrants #5, 413 and #30. The amounts for hydrants #5 and #13 were less than 10% over the
recommended rate. As for hydrant #30, a letter was sent, referencing a telephone conversation with you,
as to the corrective actions needed for that situation. Also, as with hydrant 430, if you look at the total
average amount of PAN applied per acre to the entire fields that contain hydrants #5 and #13, there is no
over application of PAN.
The third and final noted violation refers to the pumping windows associated with applying
greater than 50 lbs./ac PAN to small grain. According to the memo that deals with applying greater than
50 lbs./ac PAN to small grain, approximately half is to be applied during September 15-and October 31
with the remaining amount applied during February 1 and March 31. At the time of inspection, several of
the hydrants had applied more than half of the total PAN during the first application window, but none
had applied more than the overall total amount. This was partly an oversight by the applicator as these
windows were new to him.
To aid in preventing the recurrence of pumping outside of the windows in the future, an
irrigation manager has been hired to oversee all of the pumping activities for facilities owned by Brown's
BROWN'S OF CAROLINA, INC.

Iir
of Carolina, Inc. Also, all of the pumping operators have been through a training school recently
sponsored by Brown's of Carolina and are more knowledgeable of all the aspects of waste management
and application. With continued efforts to train and educate our operators, these occurrences should cease
to occur.
Brown's of Carolina, Inc. recognizes that the noted incidents listed are non -compliant with the
permit however, since no harm to the environment has occurred, no further enforcement action should be
pursued.
If you have any questions or need additional information concerning this matter, please do not
hesitate to call me at [phone] ext. 238.

Dear Mr. Nordeen:
Please find enclosed copies of the inspection reports for the referenced facilities for the inspections
which I performed on November 9, 2001. Please note that some information has changed in the enclosed
copies versus those which were left with the on site representative. Specifically, for Farm 417, 1 removed
the comment concerning an apparent error in using a certain waste analysis as the waste analysis has now
been presented to me, and for Farm 434, I corrected language to show that overapplication occurred on
the 2001 corn crop, rather than soybeans. I also added specific overapplication amounts for Farm r34. If
you have any questions concerning these matters, please do not hesitate to contact me at 910-395-3900

Gus,
r, .
We are formally requesting a new, detailed 30-Day Plan of Action (PoA) for obtaining
freeboard compliance at this facility using the attached PoA documentation. Please note that this is
to be retroactive to the date of your previous submittal on 2-2-2000. It has been nearly 3 weeks with
little progress made, therefore, the previous PoA has been inadequate and should have been revised
by BOC at an earlier date.
In addition, we are requiring that the 5-Day PoA document be completed with the
modifications we have made on Page 1 from an additional copy_ This will be based on 10 days from
2-23-2000, since that is what remains of your original 30 day deadline which expires on 3-3-2000.
Given the volume it appears that will need to removed within the next 10 days, it is highly
recommended that appropriate decisions be made to gain the necessary freeboard including
pump&haul or voluntary, partial de -population of non -essential sows, nursery pigs, and finishers.
This information is to be received by our office no later than 12:00 pm on Thursday 2-24-2000.
Please use this documentation for all future Plans generated for company or contract facilities.

Scenario B
When facilities are identified with waste in their lagoon(s) below the level required to be
maintained for structural stability but not adequate to also retain the 25 year, 24 hour rainfall event
(typically 12-19 inches).
1) The producer will be required to submit a plan of action within 48 hours to lower and maintain the
lagoon level to a point below that needed for both structural stability and the 25 year, 24 hour rainfall
event (typically 19 inches — red zone). This must be accomplished within 30 calendar days_
2) DWQ can not and will not condone any discharge of waste from the facility to the surface waters as
pat of the management plan.
3) DWQ can not and will not condone the land application of waste at levels above that specified by the
facility's CAWMP or in violation of any other part of the CAWMP.
4) The producer should consider pump and haul to another facility, which can adequately manage the
waste in accordance with its CAWMP, as part of this plan. Voluntary, partial de -population may also
need to be evaluated as part of their plan.
5) Complete Plan of Action documents dated 2-21-00 for 30-day draw down period.
Note: If a producer does not provide DWQ with a plan that demonstrates the ability to manage
their waste in the time lines listed in A. and/or B. above, then DWQ will proceed to court to
ask the court to mandate that the appropriate actions be taken.
Reminder. •' Facilities holding a General Permit (AWS XXXXXX) are required to notify DWQ when

Dear Mr. Shiver,
This letter is in reference to a Fax that was sent to your office last week concerning a PAN
overapplication at HOC #17, Facility # 24-I in Columbus County. This letter will serve as a written report
of the occurrence, as is required by the General Permit for this facility.
As stated in the Fax, an overapplication occurred on hydrant #30 on smaU grain overseed. The
amount over was 61.55 lbs. N/ac. The records for this facility are kept by pulls or hydrants rather than by
fields, and if they were kept by fields there would not be an overapplication for the field- The following will
show the difference.

As you can see, the total amount to be applied for the field on a per acre average has not been
exceeded. Also, if the records were kept by field, they would show that no overapplication had occurred. As
you know, State regulations allow for the records to be kept either way. Please keep these thoughts in mind
as you review this situation.

Dear Mr. Shiver,
This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation letter for BOC #17 dated October I3, 2000,
received by our office on October 18, 2000.
In your letter, you ask for a plan for protecting other hydrants that comprise the waste management
system from future occurrences and a plan for obtaining and maintaining proper management of the lagoon
liquid level over the upcoming winter season and beyond. The following will serve as those plans.
A visual inspection of all hydrants, fittings, etc. that are above ground will be made within the next
30 days. Also, the operating parameters of the system will be reviewed. A Certified Irrigation Designer will
conduct the inspection and review_ Based upon the findings of the CID, appropriate measures will be taken.
The liquid Ievels of both Iagoons are currently within the proper operating management zones.
Attached is a Plan of Action which shows that the current CAWMP is sufficient for handling the amount of
wastewater that would normally be produced at this facility during the remainder of the winter season and
beyond.
If you have any questions or need additional information concerning this matter, please do not
hesitate to call me at [phone] ext. 238.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Shiver,
This letter is in reference to a Fax that was sent to your office last week concerning a PAN
overapplication at BOC #17, Facility # 24-1 in Columbus County. This letter will serve as a written report
of the occurrence, as is required by the General Permit for this facility.
As stated in the Fax, an overapplication occurred on hydrant #30 on small grain overseed. The
amount over was 61.55 tbs. N/ac. The records for this facility are kept by pulls or hydrants rather than by
fields, and if they were kept by fields there would not be an averapplication for the field. The following will
show the difference.

As you can see, the total amount to be applied for the field on a per acre average has not been

you know, State regulations allow for the records to be kept either way. Please keep these thoughts in mind
as you review this situation.

Subject: Operation Review Notice of Referral for
Farm #17, Facility Number 24-1
Dear Mr. Weston:
On November 21, 2000, a compliance inspection was conducted on Farm #17,
Facility Number 24-1 in Columbus County. This inspection, undertaken in
accordance with G.S. 143-215.1 OD, is one of two routine site visits scheduled
for all subject animal operatioris'in 2000. The Division of Soil and Water '
Conservation staff performs compliance inspections in accordance with the Pilot
Program for Animal Operations Annual Inspections Program. Columbus County
is one of the three counties selected to participate in the 1999-2001 pilot
program.
During the compliance inspection, the following items were noted:
• Field #3 hydrant 91 solid set sprinklers are throwing 360 degrees
causing waste to be thrown into the woods. This was also noted
in the routine operation review.
• Over application to the small grain on hydrants #5, #13, and #30.
Hydrants #5 and #13 were using the 75 lbs/acre nitrogen rate.
82.36 lbs/acre was applied on hydrant #5, and 81.44 lbs/acre was
over applied on hydrant #13. Hydrant #30 was using the 100
lbs/acre nitrogen rate. 161.55 lbs/acre was applied. This amount
is over 10% allowed.
Hydrants #5, 11,12,13,26,28,29, and 30 are using the higher
nitrogen rates on the small grain and are required to split the
nitrogen applications. Refer to the crop managements for select
forages used in waste management for application dates. See the
attached compliance inspection for the amounts applied to each
of these hydrants as of 11-21-2000.

Additional Comments and/orDrawings:
1 1- Amounts shown are over applications to the small grain of nitrogen in 2000%
+
Hyd. #5 using the 75 lbs/acre rate applied 82.36 lbs/acre nitrogen = 7.36 lbs/acre over 9% overage
Hyd. #13 using 75 lbs/acre rate applied 81.44 lbs/acre nitrogen = 6.44 lbs/acre over 8% overage
Hyd # 30 using 100 lbs/acre rate applied 161.55 lbs/acre nitrogen = 61.55 Ibs/acre over 38% overage.
Amounts shown are over applications to the bermuda of nitrogen in 2000'.
Hyd. 5 using 260 lbs/acre rate applied 264.05 lbs/acre nitrogen- 4.05 lbs/acre over 1% overage
Hyd #4 using 260 lbs/acre rate applied 262.78 lbs/acre nitrogen = 2.78 lbs/acre over 1 % overage
15- The wheat behind the soybeans did not come up.
The overseed in fields 26-30 did not come up.
These fields will need to be seeded again to get a stand to take up the nitrogen already applied to these fields. These fields were
broadcast and not drilled.
21- A certified operator needs to be designated for this farm. Roderick Hayes no longer work at this farm.
25- Hydrants 5,11,12,13,26,28,29,and 30 are using the higher nitrogen rates on small grain and are required to split the nitrogen
application. Refer to the crop management for select forages used in waste management for application dates.
Hyd #5 using 75 lbs rate had applied 82.36 lbs. nitrogen/acre as of 11-21-2000
Hyd #11 using 75 lbs. rate had applied 49.57 lbs. nitrogen/acre as of 11-21-2000
Hyd. #12 using 75 lbs. rate had applied 64.33 lbs. nitrogen/acre as of 11-21-2000
Hyd #13 using 75 lbs. rate had applied 81.44 lbs. nitrogen/acre as of 11-21-2000
Hyd. #26 using 75 lbs. rate had applied 51.34 lbs. nitrogen/ acre as of 11-21-2000
Hyd #2813 using 100 lbs. rate had applied 98.59 lbs. nitrogen/acre as of 11-21-2000
Hyd #29 using 100 lbs. rate had applied 86.24 lbs. nitrogen/acre as of 11-21-2000
Hyd. #30 using 100 lbs. rate had applied 161.55 lbs. nitrogen/acre as of 11-21-2000
Using the higher rates on the overseed meant that waste application to the bermuda should have stopped in August. According to the
iRR-2 forms this did not happen.

This is to notify Brown's of Carolina, Inc., who holds a non -discharge permit for an animal waste
disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 21-1.0200 and G.S.143.215.1, of violations of Animal Waste Permit
AWS 240001.
On October 1, 2000, Mr. Dean Hunkele from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality inspected your animal operation and the animal waste management system serving this
operation. This inspection was in response to notification by:Brown's of Carolina (BOC) of an accidental
wastewater discharge to Waters of the State that occurred on September 30,2000. Waters impacted by the
discharge was an intermittent stream that is a tributary of Troy Milt Branch, Class C Swamp, in the Lumber
River Basin.
This Notice of Violation is being issued in accordance with the Division of Water Quality's
Compliance & Enforcement Policy approved on September 6, 2000 by the Director. Based upon actions

However, this is a violation of Part I. Performance Standards, Section 1 of AWS 240001, which
prohibits the discharge of waste from the animal waste management system. The incident also violates Part
II.Operation and Maintenance Requirements, Section 1 of AWS 240001 which requires proper maintenance
and operation of the animal waste management system.
The Wilmington Regional Office has received the report by BOC concerning this incident. However,
this is the second hydrant to erupt at this facility within the last two years. We understand that BOC plans
_to_replace the -hydrants -in the field that the accident occurred, but the Regional Office requests a more - -
comprehensive plan of protecting other hydrants that comprise the waste management system from future
occurrences including additional replacements, inspection by qualified experts, or isolation of hydrants from
cattle that currently have direct access. In addition, the Regional Office requests a comprehensive
management plan for obtaining and maintaining proper management of the lagoon liquid level over the
upcoming winter season and beyond.
Please submit these Plans to the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality within
the next 30 working days. Future violations resulting from improper maintenance or management of the
waste management system will result in additional actions being taken by the Division of Water Quality
including civil penalties, injunctive relief, or permit revocation.
If you have any questions concerning this matter please do not hesitate to contact either Mr. Dean
Hunkele orMr. Stonewall Mathis, of our Wilmington Regional Office at [phone] or Mr. Steve Lewis,
of our Nan -Discharge Compliance/Enforcement Unit in Raleigh at [phone], ext. 539.

Dear Mr. Shiver,
This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation letter for BOC #17 dated October 13, 2000,
received by our office on October 18, 2000.
In your letter, you ask for a plan for protecting other hydrants that comprise the waste management
system from future occurrences and a plan for obtaining and maintaining proper management of the lagoon
liquid level over the upcoming winter season and beyond. The following will serve as those plans.
A visual inspection of all hydrants, fittings, etc. that are above ground will be made within the next
30 days. Also, the operating parameters of the system will be reviewed. A Certified Irrigation Designer will
conduct the inspection and review. Based upon the findings of the CID, appropriate measures will be taken.
The liquid levels of both lagoons are currently within the proper operating management zones.
Attached is a Plan of Action which shows that the current CAWMP is sufficient for handling the amount of
wastewater that would normally be produced at this facility during the remainder of the winter season and
beyond.
If you have any questions or need additional information concerning this matter, please do not
hesitate to call me at (9I0) 296-I800 ext. 238.

Kevin Weston

Dear Mr. Shiver,
This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement letter
for BOC #17 dated October 3, 2000, received by our office on October 11, 2000. The following will serve
as both a Plan of Action and an explanation for the noted violation.
On September 6, 2000, Brown's of Carolina, Inc. reported that the sow lagoon at Farm #17 had
1T' of freeboard, and a Plan of Action was submitted the same day. This notification and Plan of Action
was mistakenly sent to the Fayetteville Regional Office. On September 20, 2000, Brown's of Carolina, Inc.
reported that the finishing lagoon at Farm # 17 had 17" of freeboard and the sow lagoon had 18" of
freeboard. On September 21, 2000, a Plan of Action was submitted for the finishing lagoon. Both plans
stated that irrigating onto existing bermuda fields as soon as weather and field conditions permitted would
lower the levels in the lagoons. This was accomplished as the sow lagoon was reported at 21" of freeboard
as of October 5, 2000 and the finishing lagoon was reported at 22" of freeboard as of October 14, 2000.
To aid in preventing the recurrence of high freeboard levels in the future, an irrigation schedule
is being produced weekly which prioritizes the fields or pulls that should receive irrigation. This gives the
OIC at the facility another tool to use in making decisions regarding irrigation.
Brown's of Carolina, Inc. recognizes that the high freeboard levels are non -compliant with the
Permit however, this office has notified DWQ of every occurrence and submitted Plans of Action as
required by the permit within the allotted notification time frames. Also, the Plans of Action have been
met on time. With this in mind and since no harm to the environment has occurred, no further
enforcement action should be pursued.
If you have any questions or need additional information concerning this matter, please do not
hesitate to call me at [phone] ext. 238.

Dear Rick Shiver:
The purpose of this letter is to notify DWQ regarding specific PAN
application rates associated with the unprecedented rainfall events of last
summer and early fall. We now have completed a review of this issue by
_. ____ examining _the-. CAWMP's and _,associated -land. application .records - for. all
.company owned farms. Based on'that review, no land application records
have been changed, but we have corrected all of our computer printouts to
reflect actual pounds of PAN as applied, without any "rollover" into
subsequent crop periods. Attached is a list of all hydrants on our company
owned farms that operate within, the Wilmington Regional Office.
This means that our records accurately show a number of instances
where land application practices were carried out in excess of specified
PAN rates. in order to preserve lagoon integrity and properly manage water
levels that occurred as a result of multiple rainfall events in excess of
the regulatory 25-year, 24-hour storm event. In carrying out land
application practices last fall and winter, and on into the spring of this
year, all practicable measures were taken to minimize and prevent over -
application of PAN, and to prevent surface water runoff. Our consistent
policy was to use the "highest and driest" fields to draw down high lagoon
levels that were caused by the unprecedented string of rains we had in
excess of the 25-year, 24-hour storm level.
Company farm lagoon levels before these storms generally were in very
good shape, thus documenting good farm management and winter season
preparedness. In addition to initial land application practices designed
to protect lagoon integrity, much of the excess water volumes that resulted
from these multiple storms in excess of the 25-year, 24-hour storm level
remained in lagoons throughout the winter of 1999 and into the spring of
this year. We ask that DWQ take these factors into account and determine
that, where farms properly had prepared last summer, that no enforcement
action be taken for excess PAN applications made as a result of these
storms.
Should you have any questions or desire to meet to discuss the
information in this letter, please give me a call.
Regards,
fafis Simmons

Dear Mr. Shiver,
This letter Is in response to the Notice of violation and
necomrnendation for Enforcement for BOC # 17, dated July 6, 2000. My
office received this letter on .July l 1 . 2000, and are with this letter responding
within ten days of receipt, as requested. For simplicity, I will respond to
WK d( (Ke' violations descrlheA in the Notice in the order they appeared.
Mr. Stonewall Mathis visited BOC # 17 on June 13. 2000 and found the
lagoon freeboard level in the Finishing lagoon (BOC # 17F) at 18 inches. Our
Iagoon freeboard records in our CFERS system show that the lagoon
freeboard level was measured to be at 18 Inches of freeboard on Saturday.
June 10. 2000. This measurement was reported to our CERS on Tuesday,
.tune 11, of -6-(6 am during the weekly farming meeting. I met with Mr.
Mathis later that afternoon at BOC # 17 and we measured the lagoon at I a
inches of freeboard. Our CERS automatically generates notification letters to
the DWQ regional offices of freeboard violations. This notification was faxed
to your office on Friday. June 16, 2000. On Saturday, .tune 17, the lagoon
freeboard level In ROC # 17F was measured at 26 inches of freeboard. 1 .
communicated with Mr, Mathis as to our plans to lower the lagoon level
during the site visit on June 13, 2000. and followed up with a telephone
conversation on June 15, 2000. To the best of my knowledge, no formal
plan o? action was Med with your office.
upon learning of the freeboard level to BOC # 17F, Brown's of Carolina
immediately made all available efforts to safely and expediently lower the
liquid level. The personnel responsible for reporting freeboard
measurements to environmental management was reprimanded for not
reporting it within 24E hours. This reprimand, along with other mitigating
factors, led to the termination of the employment agreement between
Brown's of Carolina and the person directly responsible for this instance.

Mr. Mathis and 1 discussed the over application Issues quite
extensively on the June 13 site visit. Brown's of Carolina recognizes that the
38 over applications listed are noncompliant with the General Permit for this
facility. Brown's of Carolina made every effort to manage the excess water
accumulated from the hurricanes of last fall and the ensuing precipitous
winter of 1999/2000 in the most environmentally sounl L'minngf pgoo1b1c, to
this regard. Brown's of Carolina matntained accurate and diligent records of
all effluent and water that had to be managed resulting from the hurricanes_
All of the volume accumulated was managed through our Irrigation systems
in a manner to prevent run-off and discharges. This method of
environmental stewardship required application of effluent on the "highest*
and 'driest* application fields to expeditiously lower lagoon levels and
prevent discharges. Unfortunately, the extremely wet winter following the
hurricanes caused certain Brown's of Carolina facilities to makg M%A1411210
applications io the most prudent areas for preventing run-off while diligently
trying to lower and maintain lagoon levels to avoid non-compliance and
safely operate our facilities. As a result, some of the application fields
received such volumes of water that caused over application of PAN
compared to the prescribed rate in the waste management plan. while
Brown's of Carolina recognizes the freeboard violations and over
applications as noncompliant with the oeneral Permit, we also recognized
our responsibility to our neighbors and the environment In preventing
discharges in as much as possible.
On June 12, 2000. the hydrant referenced in the Notice had
undergone mechanical failure and was repaired. As to our understanding,
this same hydrant again failed on June 13. 2000, which Mr. Mathis
discovered during his site visit. Apparently, the repair made to this hydrant
was improperly done on June 12, leading to the June 13 Incident. Browns
of Carolina farming personnel and environmental management stayed onslic
on June 13, 2000 until reclamation of ponded effluent was completed.
Again, the employee who was directly responsible for the repair. incident
notification, and spill reclamation was reprimanded for this incident and is
subsequently no longer employed by Browns of Carolina.

Dear Mr. Shiver,
OCT 10 2000
BY:
This letter is to notify DWQ of the discharge that occurred at BOC # 17 on Saturday, September
30, 2000 around 11-,50 AM.
This discharge occurred in field # 1 after the top of hydrant # 3 broke off. Irrigation was being
done in field # 11. A member of the farm staff saw the leaking hydrant and immediately shut
down the system. It is unknown how long wastewater flowed from this hydrant or the volume.
Based on the amount that ponded in the low area to the east of field # 1, it is estimated that
almost 1000 gallons escaped. As required by Brown's of Carolina operating procedures, once the
system was shut down, recovery efforts were started. Brown's of Carolina staff worked to
contain the wastewater on site by placing earthen dams in the ditch. The darns were placed on
either side of the tile under the farm path. Once the wastewater was contained, pumps were used
to pump the wastewater and the existing freshwater out of the ditch and into field # 1. Water was
pumped until the remaining water in the ditch appeared clear. DWQ was notified Saturday
afternoon, and Dean Hunkele from the Wilmington Regional Office came to the site on Sunday,
October 1, 2000 around 10:30 AM. The recovery of this wastewater was difficult and time
consuming, as the wastewater mixed with the existing freshwater in the ponded area. The dams
were removed from the ditch around 2:00 PM Sunday.
To ensure that this problem does not recur, all three hydrants in this field have been replaced
with all metal risers. There are isolation valves on this farm and they were being used correctly
during the irrigation event. However, it has been discovered that the valve to this field was
leaking, thus allowing wastewater to be pumped into the line serving this field. The leaking valve
will be repaired or replaced. Also, the pressure safety switch has been checked and is operational
and will be tested more frequently in the future.
It is unfortunate that this incident occurred; however everything possible to contain and recover
the wastewater was done, thus minimizing any potential impact to the environment. With this in
mind, much consideration is warranted prior to the issuance of a Notice.

1/2) Responded to report by BOC to Emergency Operations of spill that occurred on Sat. 9-30-00. BOC staff were irrigating
in a nearby field from 8-11:50 when pull was completed. Another staff member noticed waste spewing from hydrant in field
within sight of buildings. Pump was turned off & BOC investigated finding that a hydrant had broken off between the PVC
pipe & steel header cap. BOC staff proceeded to block intermittent stream at the farm path crossing. Waste had flowed
from rupture along berm protecting stream from field down gradient to storm water diversion. Diversion empties into
intermittent.
When I arrived staff still using protable pump to remove waste. Very little remains in -low collection area that is shallow &
wampy. Clean-up should be complete within a few hours at most. Cont. —>

31. Do the animals feed storage bins fail to have appropriate cover? ❑ Yes ❑ No
32. Do the flush tanks lack a submerged fill pipe or a permanent/temporary cover? ❑ Yes ❑ No
nknown how long waste was escaping or volume released. No impact expected since intermittent downstream is
asically dry. Pump did not shut down on its own, thus Murphy Switch should be checked.
JQ expects report from BOC concerning accident by end of week. Included should be info on directional valves in
system and if they were being used correctly.
BOC should investigate need for additional directional valves to allow pumping from both lagoons including an
litional pump.
1) Current OIC registered with DWQ for this farm and BOC 34 is no longer employed. Need to re -designate.

to use the spray Ration systems designed for Uum- facilities for wasknNsW effluent application.
'The main constraint an operating these systems to their design capability the past 2-3 weeks has

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 24-1
Columbus County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludgestresiduals, 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. IRRI, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLURI, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the

Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System
Farm # 17
Facility Number 24-1
Columbus County
A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal
Waste Management PIans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only
the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any
acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your
plan.
An evaluation by Audrey Oxendine on 2/19/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your
facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of
the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X".
Category 1:
❑ The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please
contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Audrey Oxendine the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to Audrey Oxendine, at 127 Cardinal Drive
Extension, Wilmington, NC 28404, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have
any questions please contact Audrey Oxendine at [phone]. If within 90 days you
are unable to provide Audrey Oxendine with the information you are automatically
required to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2
below, within 180 days of receipt of this letter.

Category 2:
'4 Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal
waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates
set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him
or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must
be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct
Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension
Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special
designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this
designation, or a Professional Engineer.
All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and
the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWG within the next
180 days. if the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the
required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility
into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation,
and/or injunctive relief.
Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable
Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please
note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all
the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan
must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will
review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by
kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install
or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer
must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.

RECEIVED
NOV 2 5 1998
11-18-98
We just received a copy of the letter to Mr. Greg Brown sent by certified mail dated Nov. 12,
1998. This letter was notifying Browns of a Notice of Violation against BOC #17 farm number 24-1. We
do not agree with the decision to issue a Notice of Violation for the accidental break in the irrigation line at
farm 17. You stated in your letter that the failure to report was a violation of Section III, Item 6 (c) and 6
(d) of our permit The spillage you refer to in 6 (c) never reached waters of the state. As stated in the
report I sent to you on 10-16-98, the effluent from the spillage was confined to the road swells and ditch,
neither is classified as waters of the state.
The` ditclf was dry at that time and no water left the site, thus not reaching waters of the state.
The referred to item 6 (d) does not apply in this case; it refers to a lagoon system or storage pond
that poses an immediate threat to the environment Neither lagoon on this complex has deteriorated or
leaks.
The event that took place was accidental and impacted no waters of the state. Tberefore we feel
that no notification was mandatory. However, we feel we need to continue to work together, but by the
issuance of the`NOV'in this rase, we must challenge the decision based on these items. As stated in the
earlier report the break was fixed and the effluent reclaimed. Efforts have been made to ensure no future
discharges. Necessary repairs and operation and maintenance of the system have been made and are
monitored.
I ask that you reconsider this -Notice of Violation for farm BOC 17. We feel it was not warrented
and do not want this incident on our records.

Dear Rick:
BRowN�s

RECEIVED
OCT 19 1998
BY:
This letter is a follow-up to our phone conversation regarding the accidental
discharge at Farm 17 in Columbus County.
I made a trip to investigate the event on 10-14-98. After looking at the area and
talking to Roddy Hayes, the farming complex manager, here is a summary of what
happened. Roddy had started the system irrigating; a pipe came loose and broke the
hydrant off. The system shut down when the pressure dropped. Any estimation of
gallons would be just a guess, but probably 1000-1500 gallons spilled out on the pasture.
It traveled approximate 150' to a surface drain beside the path then 40' to a shallow dried
up ditch. An estimate of 200-250 gallons may have reached the ditch. Roddy went to get
the pump to reclaim this when Neil Floyd of the Columbus County Health Department
came up. Roddy pumped all the excess water back out, and on the day I visited, the ditch
was still dry. Roddy's explanation of not notifying the correct people was "he thought
Neil Floyd would be doing that". This is not the correct procedure in the permit, nor is it
Brown's of Carolinas policy. Roddy's error in judgement will be dealt with. We at
Browns' will do everything to make sure the correct policies are followed.
In this incident the discharge did not leave our property impacting any surface
waters of the state. Proper notification should have been made according to our permit.
We regret the incident, which was accidental and will continue to work with all agencies
for a better environment. If there is any other information we can provide, please let me
know.
Thanks for your help and consideration
Sincerely,
immy Vinson

You are hereby notified that Browns of Carolina; Farm # 17, which has been permitted to
have a nondischarge permit for an animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0217
and G.S 143.215.1, has been found to be in violation of its Animal Waste Permit.
On October 14, 1998, In response to a notice from the Columbus County Health Department,
staff from the Wilmington Office of the Division of Water Quality conducted an inspection of your
animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. At the time of the inspection evidence
of a recent discharge of animal waste was observed. According to Mr. Roddy Hayes with Browns
of Carolina, Inc., a mechanical failure on October 9, 1998 resulted in the release of more than 1000
gallons of liquid animal waste. The incident was not reported to the Division of Water Quality.
This is a violation of Section III, Item 6 (c) and 6(d) of your permit.
The Division of Water Quality may proceed to revoke Coastal Farms' permit unless the
following conditions are completed:
Immediately eliminate the discharge of wastewater and/or list actions to correct the noted
violation.
2. Make any and all modifications needed to ensure there will be no future discharges.

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 be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWQ regulations.
Page: 1

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 rased 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. 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.):
2200 animals X 4,015 gal/animal/year =
9200 animals X 986 gal/animal/year =
8,833,000 gallons
9,066,600 gallons
Total 17899600 gallons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN PRODUCED PER YEAR (lbs):
2200 animals X 6.50 Ibslanimallyear =
9200 animals X 2.30 Ibslanimallyear =
14, 300.00 Ibs
21,160.00 lbs
Total 35,460.00 ibs
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.

"A negative number reflects the total lbs of additional nitrogen needed to achieve yields on
acreage listed in chart. A positive number means additional acreage is required to utilize the
nitrogen produced by the farm.
Page: 3

NOTE:
This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant
available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above.
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements.
In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed
through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they
reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a
height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care
should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (Le.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere
with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen
being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is
the nominal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is
recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

Acres shown in the preceding table 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 1 pounds of plant available nitrogen per animal per year in the
sludge based on the application method listed earlier for Farm 17 sow.
The Finishing unit will produce approximately 0.36 pounds per animal per year in the sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 51160.00
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 170.53 acres of land. If you apply
the sludge to corn at a rate of 125_pounds per acre, you will need 409.28 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
applications.
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 the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

*This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount
of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. 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 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the
waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of
freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
Page: 6

It is the responsiability 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 the tables. 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 prior to applying the waste.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by nmof� drift; manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct
discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface eater is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has a notarized 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 a notarized 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 f mility 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 sod type, available
moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of
application for other nutrients. Actual yields may be used in lieu of realistic yield tables at the discretion of the planner.
4. Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding
at more than 5 tons but less than I0 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the
field (See FOTG.Standard 393-Fdter Strips)
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 sod incorporated an 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 off -site 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 surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste should be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to depth
that would prohibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching Waste
nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released
nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a 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 surface water. This
distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present (See Standard
393 - Filter Strips).

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECEFICATIONS
(continued)
12, Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet from wells.
I I Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by 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 it has been approved as a land applications site by a
"technical specialist". Animal waste applied on grassed waterways shall be at agronomic rates and 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, berths, 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. lagoon
berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
18, If animal production at the facility is 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 fiuther applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible permanent 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. Soil tests shall be made every two years, and a liquid waste analysis shall be taken at least twice each year consistent with
waste utilization plan. Poultry litter shall be tested prior to application. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five
yam.
Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC regdliEoiis:

his plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing, or naming off site. You should not wait urn wastes reach surface waters or leave
your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to ensure that
this does not happezi
&cT= The following are some action items you should take.
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible.
Suggested responses to some possiole problems are listed below-
A Lagoon overflow —possible solutions are:
a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of darn.
b. Pump waste to fields at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
d- Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no sure water is entering Iagoon-
B. Runoff from waste application field -actions include:
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
c. Incorporate waate to reduce runoff_
d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that caused the runoff.

Dear Farm Owner:
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study
Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly,
requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more
swine by January 1, 1997. 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.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this requirement please
call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt of our staff at 919n33-0026.

Subject: Inspection of Brown's of Carolina #17 Farm
Columbus County
Dear Mr. High:
An inspection was performed on March 1, 1996 at the Brown's
#17 Farm. This inspection was performed based upon your advisement
and concerns relative to a trench that had been put into a
containment berm that was installed adjacent to the farm ditch that
flows to Troy Mill Pond. This berm was installed by Brown's
personnel after a broken air relief valve caused a discharge of
swine waste into the farm ditch and your family's pond at the end
of December. The purpose of the berm is for containment of swine
waste which may occur during the disconnection of the water reel
spray equipment from the wastewater piping or the short term
containment of waste if a pipe failure occurs. It can also be
effective, to prevent surface runoff in case of over -irrigation
activities. However, surface runoff of wastewater is a violation of
acceptable management practices.
The spray field has not been used since January and on -site
Brown's representatives have indicated they will be paying close
attention to the site's spray irrigation activities, especially
spraying in that particular field. They also indicated that they
will consider the use of some type of removable blockage
structure. The berm is containing stormwater which is not it's
intended use and that is detrimental to the spray site in regard to
reduced hydraulic loading and disinfection capabilities. 5tormwater
must be allowed to leave the site.

I have included some sampling results for you to compare to
the initial testing results. Sampling was performed on March 22,
1996 in the same sample locations that -were previously established.
The sample results, a visual aid, and excerpts from the Division's
Administrative Codes are .presented for your information. The water
quality classification for Troy Mill Pond is defined as class "C
swamp" waters. The maximum fecal coliform standard for these waters
is 200 bacteria colonies per 100 ml with no more than 20% of
samples exceeding 400 colonies per 100 ml.
If I can be of further service concerning this topic, please
feel free to contact me or other water quality section personnel
within the Wilmington Regional Office at [phone].

.0211 FRESH SURFACE WATER QUALITY STANDARDS FOR CLASS C WATERS
General. The water quality standards for all fresh surface waters are the basic standards applicable to CIass
C waters. Additional and more stringent standards applicable to other specific freshwater classifications are
specified in Rules .0212, .0214, .0215, .0216, .0217, .0218, .0219, .0223, .0224 and .0225 of this Section.
(1) Best Usage of Waters. Aquatic life propagation and maintenance of biological integrity (ncluding
fishing, and fish), wildlife, secondary recreation, agriculture and any other usage except for primary
recreation or as a source of water supply for drinking, culinary or food processing purposes;
(2) Conditions. Related to Best Usage. The waters will be suitable for aquatic life propagation and
maintenance of biological integrity, wildlife, secondary recreation, and agriculture; sources of water
pollution which preclude any of these uses on either a short-term or long-term basis will be
considered to be violating a water quality standard;
(3) Quality standards applicable to all fresh surface waters:
(a) Chlorophyll a (corrected): not greater than 40 ug/1 for lakes, reservoirs, and other slow -moving
waters not designated as trout waters, and not greater than 15 ugll for lakes, reservoirs, and other
slow -moving waters designated as trout waters (not applicable to lakes and reservoirs less than 10
acres in surface area); the Commission or its designee may prohibit or limit any discharge of waste
into surface waters if, in the opinion of the Director, the surface waters experience or the discharge
would result in growths of microscopic or macroscopic vegetation such that the standards
established pursuant to this Rule would be violated or the intended best usage of the waters would
be impaired;

(ME count) based upon at least five consecutive samples examined during any 30 day period, nor
exceed 400/100m1 in more than 20 percent of.the samples examined during such period; violations
of the fecal coliform standard are expected during rainfall events and, in some cases, this violation
is expected to be caused by uncontrollable nonpoint source. pollution; all coliform concentrations
are to be analyzed using the membrane filter technique unless high turbidity or other adverse
conditions neotssitate the tube dilution method; in rase of controversy over results, the MPN 5-tube
dilution technique will be used as the reference method;
(f) Oils; deleterious substances; colored or other wastes: only such amounts as will not render the
waters injurious to public health, secondary recreation or to aquatic life and wildlife or adversely
affect the palatability of fish, aesthetic quality or impair the waters for any designated uses; for the
purpose of implementing this Rule, oils; deleterious substances, colored or other wastes will
include but not be limited to substances that cause a film or sheen upon or discoloration of the
surface of the water or adjoining shorelines pursuant to 40 CFR 110.4(a)-(b) which are hereby
incorporated by reference including any subsequent amendments and additions. , This material is
available for inspection at the Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division
of Environmental Management, 512 North Salisbury Street, Raleigh, North Carolina. Copies may

except that swamp waters may have a pH as low as 4.3 if it is the result of natural conditions;
(b) Phenolic compounds: only such levels as will not result in fish -flesh tainting or impairment of other
best usage;
(i) Radioactive substances:
(i) Combined radium-226 and radium-228: the maximum average annual activity level (based on
at least four samples collected quarterly) for combined radium-226 and radium-228 shall not
exceed five picoCuries per liter;
(ii) Alpha Emitters: the average annual gross alpha particle activity (including radium-226, but
excluding radon and uranium) shall not exceed 15 picoCuries per liter;
(iii) Beta Emitters: the maximum average annual activity level (based an at least four samples,
collected quarterly) for strontium-90 shall not exceed . eight picoCuries per liter; nor shall the
average annual gross beta particle activity (excluding potassium-04 and other naturally occurring
radio -nuclides) exceed 50 picoCuries per liter; nor shall the maximum average annual activity
level for tritium exceed 20,000 picoCuries per liter;
(j) Temperature: not to exceed 2.8 degrees C (5.04 degrees F) above the natural water temperature,
and in no case to exceed 29 degrees C (84.2 degrees F) for mountain and upper piedmont waters
and 32 degrees C (89.6 degrees F) for lower piedmont and coastal plain waters. The temperature
for trout waters shall not be increased by more than 0.5 degrees C (0.9 degrees F) due to the
discharge of heated liquids, but in no case to exceed 20 degrees C (68 degrees F);
(k) Turbidity: the turbidity in the receiving water will not exceed 50 Nephelometric Turbidity Units
(NTU) in streams not designated as trout waters and 10 NTU in streams, lakes or reservoirs
designated as trout waters; for lakes and reservoirs not designated as trout waters, the turbidity will
not exceed 25 NTU; if turbidity exceeds these levels due to natural background conditions, the
existing turbidity level cannot be increased. Compliance with this turbidity standard can be met
when land management activities employ Best Management Practices (AMPS) [as defined by Rule
.0202(6) of this Section] recommended by the Designated Nonpoint Source Agency [as defined by
Rule .0202 of this Section]. BN1Ps must be in full compliance with all specifications governing the

Subject: Inspection of Brown's of Carolina #17
Columbus County
Dear Mr. High:
Representatives of the Division's Wilmington Office performed
a compliance inspection at the Brown's of Carolina #17 facility on
January 5, 1996. The results of this inspection revealed that'
operations are being performed in accordance with best management
practices. The lagoon freeboard levels were greater than 18 inches
in both lagoons, and winter crops were available for irrigation.
Although, the fields were just beginning to show some active winter
growth. Brown's of Carolina personnel indicated that wheat, rye
and/or oats are to be used as winter crops along with coastal
bermuda during the warm months.
I have included a copy of the Brown's of Carolina reply to the
Notice of violation that was sent by this. Office. This letter
presents corrective actions to be performed by Brown's of Carolina.
In addition, I have included results of the most recent water
quality sampl.ing. The ditch leading to Troy Mill Pond had a value
of 193 fecal coliform bacteria colonies/100ml which is below the
State standard for that stream. However, I sampled the pond
immediately adjacent to the drainage ditch entry point. The sample
was taken within water approximately one foot deep with bottom
sediments being stirred up. The pond sampling resulted in fecal
coliform bacteria levels of 5800 colonies/100 ml. This sample
appeared abnormally high and is not assumed to be attributed to
natural conditions. I can not forecast how long these bacteria
levels will remain high in that part of the pond, or if this area
is a habitat for juvenile fish. I'm not that knowledgeable on the
subject of fish biology. I know that you are deeply concerned about
your pond. Therefore, I'm passing on a list of fisheries biologists
that may be able to answer questions that you may have concerning
the fish and their habitat.

Subject: Response to DEM's notice of violation
on Farm #17, Columbus County
Dear Mr. Shiver:
On December 23,1995 officials with Brown's of Carolina were notified of a waste water
discharge into a ditch at Farm #17 in Columbus County. Columbus County Emergency
Management, the County Manager, and DEM had been notified. Upon arrival, it was found that a
2 inch air relief valve adjacent to the ditch had broken or had been deliberately broken. The pump
had been cut off and the discharge had been stopped. According to the size of the line, the
operating pressure, and discussions with personnel irrigatio4 we believe the loss to be less than
20,000 gallons of waste water.
On December 25, 1995 company officials met with Tim Bushart of DEM who inspected
the discharge and took water samples. We discussed possible causes for the break and other
measures to prevent future spillage. It is noted that the equipment and the installation conforms
with accepted irrigation practices in use to date_We have repaired the break and have installed five
additional underground gate valves at strategic locations to isolate lateral lines that are not in use
during pumping. We are reviewing the design of this f e!d adjacent to this ditch to see if there is a
viable option to the present design. We are also constr-Ting a grass filter scrip along this ditch to
impede the flow of water on the event of a future spill_ It should be noted, that due to the amount
of vandalism on this farm in the past and the unauthorized presence of people on the afternoon of
December 23rd, we believe that this spill was a result of sabotage. Because of this possibility we
will be looking for additional ways to further secure the irrigation equipment and the process of
irrigation on this farm.
Brown's of Carolina does not candone-the willful discharge of waste water and strives io
properly appply water according to our waste management plan and in the best passible manner
to protect our environmerrt.

Farms rr1 - 21.
This is to inform you that your completed registration forms 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 [phone]..

Dear Bobby C Collins:
In accordance with your application received on December 15, 2006, and change of permit type request
received on June 28, 2007, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to
Bobby C Collins, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste management system in
accordance with General Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
and land application of animal waste as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management
Plan (CAWMP) for the Collins Swine Farm, located in Columbus County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than an annual average of 7040 Feeder to Finish swine. If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to
Feeder operation, there may be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unnecessary, 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 September 30, 2009 and replaces the NPDES
COC issued to this facility with an expiration date of July 1, 2007. You are required to continue annual
surveys of sludge accumulation in all lagoons at your facility; the one-year extension in Condition 11I.19
does not apply.
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.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a
package containing the new and revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay careful
attention to the record keeping and monitoring conditions in this permit. ,
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.
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. -
Per 15A NCAC 2T .011l(c) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100 foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any wetted area of a
spray field.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief.
If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after the expiration date of the
General Permit, an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration.
This COC is not automatically transferable. A name/ownership change application must be submitted to
the Division prior to a name change or change in ownership.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to
apply for an individual permit by contacting the staff member listed below for information on this
process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding.
This facility is located in a county covered by our Wilmington Regional Office. The Regional Office
Aquifer Protection Staff may be reached at [phone]. If you need additional information
concerning this COC or the General Permit, please contact the Animal Feeding Operations Unit staff at

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

The Irrigation Application Factors for each field in this plan are shown in the following table. 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.

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for sludge
utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for each source,
the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates shown in the second column.
Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At clean out, this
material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but
other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high,
application of sludge 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.

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

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift,
manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation
or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is
prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns
or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the
waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the
waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is
within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste
application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to
secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the
operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving
crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for
realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data,
climatic conditions, and Ievel of management, unless there are regulations that
restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year.
Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but
less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where
runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard
393 - Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application.
Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land
application field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to
conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the
application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and
Climate in North Carolina" for guidance).
7. 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.
-------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------
655667 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 2/21/2007 Specification Page 1

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 into water courses, and on other
grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that
causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks,
etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system.
---------...------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------

17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed
areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as
necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other
woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon
areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be
inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate
the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a
regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance
checklist should be kept on site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops
for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for
direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further
applications of animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of
the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons.
Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A
marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage
ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least
annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the
rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied
based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen
based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative
crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive Ievels. 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 five (5)
years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

Crop Notes
The following crop note applies to field(s): Pull 5, Pull 6, Pull 7, Pull S
Fescue: Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Poorly Drained to Somewhat Poorly Drained.
Adaptation: Moderate to Marginal.
In the Coastal Plain, tall fescue can be planted Sept. 1 to Oct. 15 (best) and Feb. 15 to Mar. 20. For
pure -stand broadcast seedings use 20 to 30 lb/ac., for drilled use 15 to 20 lb/ac..seed. Use certified seed
to avoid introducing weeds or annual ryegrass. Plant seed 0.25" to 0.5" deep for pure stands, 0.25" in
mixture with clovers. Tall fescue will tolerate soil wetness but not flooding or prolonged saturation; use
ladino clover for mixtures on these soils. Soil test for preplant and maintenance lime, phosphorus, and
potassium recommendations. Apply 40 to 60 lb/ac nitrogen at planting for pure stands only. Do not apply
N for mixtures with clovers but use proper legume inoculation techniques. Apply 150 to 200 lb/ac. N to
pure -stand fescue for hay production; reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Apply N Feb. I to Mar. 20 and
Aug. 20 to Sept. 30, with equal amounts in each window. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305
Production and Utilization of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for additional information or
consult your regional agronomist or extension agent for assistance.
The following crop note applies to field(s): Pull 10, Pull 11, Pull 12, Pull 13, Pull 14, Pull 15, Pull 9
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.

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 1" to 3"
deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and
wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bulac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a
rate of 30 bulac 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 bulac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus,
potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 ]blac 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.

Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System
Collins Swine Farm
Facility Number 24-2
Columbus County
A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal
Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only
the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any
acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your
plan.
An evaluation by Audrey Oxendine on 4/6/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your
facility that receive animal waste during Iand application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of

Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System

Category 2:
❑ Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal
waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates
set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him
or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must
be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation'Commission to conduct
Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension
Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special
designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this
designation, or a Professional Engineer.
All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and
the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWQ within the next
180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the
required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility
into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation,
and/or injurfctive relief.
Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable
Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please
note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all
the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan
must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will
review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by
kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install
or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer
must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Sonya Avant of our

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 24-2
Columbus County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. MI, IRR2, DRY I, DRY2, DRYS, SLUR I, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
. If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the

Dear Mr. Collins:
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study
Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly,
requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more
swine by January 1, 1997. 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.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this requirement please
call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt of our staff at 91gn33-0026.
