II Farm Warne: Phil Creech Farm
I County: Columbus
Farm Capacity:
Farrow to Wean
Farrow to Feeder
Farrow to Finish
i Wean to Feeder 3520
Wean to Finish
Feeder to Finish
Storage Structure: Anaerobic Lagoon
Storage Period: >180 days
f Application Method: Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste
is to be applied.
g 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.
i
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 DWO regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
B. To maximize the value-of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential I
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 flay 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

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 253.44 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 1267.2 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 4 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre,you will need 10.1376 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.

Additional Comments:
This CAWMP is a revision of the previous plan, updating PAN rates and
fields r uired to adequately manage this facilities generated PAN.
The producer has more land than a facility of this ty2e and size requires.
The only field re uired to balance this NUP is shown on page 3 as field 5
with a crop of Bermuda that is harvested for hay. All of the other fields
listed on page 3 are"OPTIONAL"and may be used at this producers
discreation. Any or all of the fields can be utilized with any of the crops listed
at the rates and application windows shown.
This producer also has fields with Pine trees, and may apply effluent at the
PAN rate of 60lbs/N per acre from August 1 thru July.
Producers has the option of overseeding field 5 with a small grain and grazing
or cutting for hay.
Producer has the option of using an unharvested cover crop, but may apply
no more than 30 lbs. N to it. If the cover crop is following soybeans, no more
than 15 Ibs may be lied, due to residual nitrogen.

NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1 Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application.
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an
agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of 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.
3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed,the nitrogen needs for realistic crop
yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions,,and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for
other nutrients.
4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste
may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons
per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field(See
USDA, MRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393- Filter 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 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.
8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.

(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. Wastelnutrient loading rates on these soils should be
held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients.
Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages
breaking dormancy.
11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following:
The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a
component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary
and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1,
1995,shall not be applied closer 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 minimum of three years.
Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for a minimum of five
years.
23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Application Method: Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water and/or groundwater. The plank 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 small 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.

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 definitely interfere
with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen
being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading'as is
the normal situation,you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the
time small grain is planted in the fail.
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.

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 234 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 1170 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 3 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre,you will need 9.36 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 pending 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
1 Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application.
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
'L 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 property 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.
el 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).
a 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.
G 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.

9 Animal waste shalt 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-

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 minimum of three years.
Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for a minimum of five
years.
23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Dear Phillip E. Creech:
The Division of Water Quality(Division) received your sludge survey information on February
22,2008. With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement
for the lagoon at the Phil Creech Livestock facility not to be required until 2009. Due to the
amounts of treatment volume available, the Division agrees that a sludge survey is not needed
until 2009. The results of the 2009 sludge survey are to be submitted by March 1, 2010.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions, please call me at (919)

Dear Sir or Madam:
On March 22, 2003, a representative of your animal operation informed the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) that there was inadequate freeboard in the lagoon(s) serving this facility.
This lack of adequate freeboard is in non-compliance with the Certificate of Coverage
issued to this facility on February 13, 2001. In addition to this Notice of Violation (NOV), this
non-compliance is subject to an appropriate enforcement action by DWQ. This action can
consist of one or more of the following: a civil or criminal enforcement action; an injunction;
and/or a requirement to apply for coverage under an individual permit. The action chosen will
be based on complete evaluation of all factors that resulted in the inadequate freeboard; the
actions taken to restore the needed freeboard; and the actions being proposed to prevent the
problem from reoccurring.
To assist us in our review, please provide the Wilmington Regional Office with an
evaluation of the reasons for the freeboard violation(s) and a strategy to prevent future freeboard
violation(s). This evaluation and strategy must include but is not limited to the following:
Current Freeboard level(s)
Freeboard Ievel records in the lagoon(s) for the past 12 months up to the date of submittal
Spraying records for the past 12 months up to the date of submittal

Columbus County
Dear Phil Creech:
On April 28, 2003, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the
Division of Water Quality (Division)to extend the expiration date of the Swine Waste Operation General
Permit AWG100000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re-issued by the Division to extend the
expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with
all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non-Discharge General Permit.
In accordance with your application received on February 11, 2003 and in accordance with the directive
of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Phil
Creech, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The issuance of this COC
supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS240012 which expired on April 30,2003-
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Phil Creech Livestock, located in Columbus County, with an animal capacity of
no greater than an annual average of 3520 Wean to Feeder swine and the application to land as specified
in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or
Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary,
they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a
rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 1, 2004. Pursuant to this COC, you
are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this
facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and
this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property. TPW

'! ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: Phillip Creech
Location: 1180 Baldwin Rd.
Whiteville NC 28472
Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: Existing Wean to Feeder Swine
Number of Animals: 3520.00 pigs
(Design Capacity)
STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon
APPLICATION METHOD: Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or
groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops
in the fields where the waste is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient .
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle . Annual soil '
tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be
balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization
plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to
ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply
more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2 . Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and
available -water holding capacities .
3 . Normally waste shall 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 .

ANIMAL WASTE IITILIZATION PLAN
5 . Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems .
6 . To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production
and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should
be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30
days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above . If .
you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the
same .
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be .based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant
analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied.
Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible
so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific
crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
3520 pigs x .40 tons waste/pigs/year = 1408 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
3520 pigs x .48 lbs PAN/pigs/year = 1689 . 6 lbs . PAN/year
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time
and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
*** This number must be less than or equal to 0 in order to fully
utilize the animal waste N produced.
Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the
acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land
application of sludge at agronomic rates . The sludge will be nutrient.
rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application
of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 267 . 52 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge .
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 1337 . 6
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid
bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you ,
will need 4 .45866666667 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 10 . 7008 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 259.- depending on your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application
methods .
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs . This
rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil
texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount
should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the
time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed
the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure
that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2 . Failure to apply the recommended rates and '
Page: 6

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
The following table is provided as a ' guide for establishing application
rates and amounts .
Application Rate Appla.c . Amount
Tract Field Soil Type Crop (in/hr) (inches)
*
* 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 .00 days of temporary storage and the
temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 .00
months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored in
your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot
of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the -producer and waste applicator to
ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the
correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2 . Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may
make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis
report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and
the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.

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

Dear Phil Creech:
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 fors (i.e. IRRI, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRYS, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLDI,and SLD2)and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality(DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter,please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the

Subject: Fallow Up Visits for Columbus County Hog Facilities
Dear Ms. Oxendine:
As we discussed, I'm sending a list of the Columbus County hog facilities that require
additional follow up visits.
Phil Creech (24-12) was sent a Second Notice of Deficiency for insufficient freeboard after a
1/7/98 follow up inspection. During this inspection, several other deficiencies were noted
including spraying without the supervision of a certified operator, the ponding of waste on
saturated soils, and the leaking of waste from irrigation piping into an adjacent drainage path.
Mr. Creech was given fourteen (14) days to complete all corrective actions. Our records
indicate this Notice was received on 1/17/98. Thus, all deficiencies should be corrected by
1/31/98.
Ricky Barnes (24-93) was sent a Follow Up Letter after a 1/7/98 inspection of E&R Farms.
Although progress had been made on correcting the deficiencies observed last year, the inner
lagoon wall still needed a good vegetative cover. Although no specific completion date was
given for this work, Mr. Barnes was informed that the required corrective actions should be
finished as soon as possible.
London Carter (24-66) was sent a Notice of Deficiency for insufficient freeboard and improper
animal disposal after a 1/13/98 follow up inspection. Mr Carter was given fourteen (14) days
to complete all corrective actions. Our records indicate this Notice was postmarked on
1/20/97. Thus, all deficiencies should be corrected by no later than 2/6/98. Mr. Carter was
also sent a Follow Up Letter stating that bare areas and undercutting on the lagoon wall should
be corrected. Although no specific completion date was given for this work, Mr. Carter was
informed that the required corrective actions should be finished as soon as possible.

Schley Waddell (24-71) was sent a Notice of Deficiency after an inspection on 1/13/98 at
Waddell Farms. Mr. Waddell was observed applying waste to the land area adjacent to his
spray field. In addition, it was observed that his lagoon had insufficient freeboard. Mr.
Waddell was given fourteen (14) days to complete all corrective actions. Our records indicate
this Notice was received on 1/22/98. Thus, all deficiencies should be corrected by 2/5/98.
Warren Miller (24-27) was sent a Second Notice of Deficiency for insufficient freeboard after
a 1/15/97 follow up inspection of Wells Farm. Mr. Miller was given fourteen (14) days to
complete all corrective actions. Our records indicate this Notice was received on 1/22/98.
Thus, the deficiency should be corrected by 2/5/98_
Darrell Stocks (24-76) was sent a Second Notice of Deficiency for erosion and bare areas on
the walls of his lagoons after a 1/15/98 follow up inspection at the Stateline facility. Mr.
Stocks was given fourteen (14) days to notify us what actions he is taking to fix these
problems. Although no specific time limit was given for completing this work, Mr. Stocks
should have a winter cover established on the lagoon walls as soon as possible to prevent
further erosion problems. In addition, Mr. Stocks had insufficient freeboard in both lagoons
during this inspection. Mr. Stocks was given fourteen (14) days to correct his freeboard
problems. Our records indicate this Notice was received on 1/22/98. Thus, Mr. Stocks
should have his freeboard problems corrected by 2/5/98.
Darrell Stocks (24-6) was sent a Notice of Deficiency for insufficient freeboard after a 1/15/98
follow up inspection of the Darrell Stocks Farm. Mr. Stocks was given fourteen (14) days to
correct this deficiency. Our records indicate this Notice was received on 1/22/98. Thus, Mr.
Stocks should have his freeboard problems corrected by 2/5/98.
If you need any additional information on the problems encountered at these facilities,
please contact me at [phone].

Dear Mr. Creech:
On January 7, 1998, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality inspected your animal operation and the lagoon serving this operation. During the
inspection, it was observed that your lagoon once again had less than 19 inches of available
freeboard. While no discharge of waste was observed to waters of the state at the time of
inspection, any rainfall event could likely result in the discharge of waste from the lagoon.
The level of your lagoon should be lowered and maintained in accordance with the NRCS
guidelines and the state 2H .0200 rules governing animal waste management systems.
USDA-NRCS guidelines require a minimum of one foot and seven inches of freeboard.
This is based on the amount of storage space needed to contain a 25-year, 24 hour design
storm event without a discharge. NRCS requirements also specify that animal waste shall be
applied on actively growing crops and that 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 was observed in one spray field after waste had been applied to saturated soils. Third,
waste was observed leaking from irrigation piping into an adjacent drainage path. Actions
should be taken immediately to correct these problems.
To remain a deemed permitted facility, all corrective actions must be made within
fourteen (14) days. Failure to do so may result in the facility losing its deemed permitted
status, requiring it to obtain an individual non discharge permit.
Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes to discharge waste
water to the surface waters of the State without a permit. The Division_of Water Quality has
the authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $10,000 per day per violation.
When the required corrective actions are complete, please notify this office in writing at

been addressed as you requested:
1 . The freeboard level will be lowered as soon as the
weather permits.
2 . Waste will not be applied to any saturated soils.
3 . Irrigation pipe has been moved so that no waste
leaks into a drainage path.
I would like to state that I was assembling a new irrigation
gun and reel to test if it worked. The irrigation pipes
were only leaking because the pump was turned off and the
pipes were not under-pressure. Aluminum piping systems not
under pressure will leak at connection joints . You also
stated that the waste application had occurred without the
direct supervision of a certified operator. According to
the Operator Certification Manual, the operator in charge or
a person under the supervision of the operator in charge,
shall inspect the land application site at least every four
hours during the application of the waste and inspect the
land application site within 24 hours of the application of
animal waste if the operator in charge was not present
during the application of animal waste . My- daughter is the
certified operator and we do adhere to this policy.
Sincerely,
Phil Creech

Subject: Follow Up Visits for Columbus County Hog Facilities
Dear Ms. Oxendine:
As we discussed, I'm sending a list of the Columbus County hog facilities that require
additional follow up visits.
cPhi -Creech-(24-12)3was sent a Second Notice of Deficiency for insufficient freeboard after a
1/7/98 follow up inspection. During this inspection, several other deficiencies were noted
including spraying without the supervision of a certified operator, the ponding of waste on
saturated soils, and the leaking of waste from irrigation piping into an adjacent drainage path.
Mr. Creech was given fourteen (14) days to complete all corrective actions. Our records
indicate this Notice was received on 1/17/98. Thus, all deficiencies should be corrected by
1/31/98.
Ricky Barnes (24-93) was sent a Follow Up Letter after a 1/7/98 inspection of E&R Farms.
Although progress had been made on correcting the deficiencies observed last year, the inner
lagoon wall still needed a good vegetative cover. Although no specific completion date was
given for this work, Mr. Barnes was informed that the required corrective actions should be
finished as soon as possible.
London Carter (24-66) was sent a Notice of Deficiency for insufficient freeboard and improper
animal disposal after a 1/13/98 follow up inspection. Mr Carter was given fourteen (14) days
to complete all corrective actions. Our records indicate this Notice was postmarked on
1/20/97. Thus, all deficiencies should be corrected by no later than 2/6/98. Mr. Carter was
also sent a Fallow Up Letter stating that bare areas and undercutting on the lagoon wall should
be corrected. Although no specific completion date was given for this work, Mr. Carter was
informed that the required corrective actions should be finished as soon as possible.

Waddell Farms. Mr. Waddell was observed applying waste to the land area adjacent to his
spray field. In addition, it was observed that his lagoon had insufficient freeboard. Mr.
Waddell was given fourteen (14) days to complete all corrective actions. Our records indicate
this Notice was received on 1/22/98. Thus, all deficiencies should be corrected by 2/5/98.
Warren Miller (24-27) was sent a Second Notice of Deficiency for insufficient freeboard after
a 1/15/97 follow up inspection of Wells Farm. Mr. Miller was given fourteen (14) days to
complete all corrective actions. Our records indicate this Notice was received on 1/22/98.
Thus, the deficiency should be corrected by 2/5/98.
Darrell Stocks (24-76) was sent a Second Notice of Deficiency for erosion and bare areas on
the walls of his lagoons after a 1/15/98 follow up inspection at the Stateline facility. Mr.
Stocks was given fourteen (14) days to notify us what actions he is taking to fix these
problems. Although no specific time limit was given for completing this work, Mr. Stocks
should have a winter cover established on the lagoon walls as soon as possible to prevent
further erosion problems. In addition, Mr. Stocks had insufficient freeboard in both lagoons
during this inspection. Mr. Stocks was given fourteen (14) days to correct his freeboard
problems. Our records indicate this Notice was received on 1/22/98. Thus, Mr. Stocks
should have his freeboard problems corrected by 2/5/98.
Darrell Stocks (24-6) was sent a Notice of Deficiency for insufficient freeboard after a 1/15/98
follow up inspection of the Darrell Stocks Farm. Mr. Stocks was given fourteen (14) days to

Dear Mr. Creech:
On January 7, 1998, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality inspected your animal operation and the lagoon•serving this operation. During the
inspection, it was observed that your lagoon once again had less than 19 inches of available
freeboard. While no discharge of waste was observed,to waters of the state at the time of
inspection, any rainfall event could likely result in the discharge of waste from the lagoon.
The level of your lagoon should be lowered and maintained in accordance with the NRCS
guidelines and the state 2H -.0200 rules governing animal waste management systems.
USDA-NRCS guidelines require a minimum of one foot and seven inches of freeboard.
This is based on the amount of storage space needed to contain a 25-year, 24 hour design
stonn event without a discharge. NRCS requirements also specify that animal waste shall be
applied on actively growing crops and that 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.

During the inspection, several other deficiencies were noted. First, the application of
waste had occurred without the direct supervision of a certified operator. Second, ponding of
waste was observed in one spray field after waste had been applied to saturated soils. Third,
waste was observed leaking from irrigation piping into an adjacent drainage path. Actions
should be taken immediately to correct these problems.
To remain a deemed pennitted facility, all corrective actions must be made within
fourteen (14) days. Failure to do so may result in the-facility losing its deemed permitted
status, requiring it to obtain an individual non discharge permit.
Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes to discharge waste
water to the surface waters of the State without a permit. The Division of Water Quality- has
the authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $10,000 per day per violation.
When the required corrective actions are complete, please notify this office in writing'at

Please review the attached plan and speciFications carefully. Retain
this plan for your use and records . It is strongly recommended that you,
your contractor, and Soil Conservation Service personnel are in agreement
as to how the waste lagoon is to be constructed . The Soil Conservation
Service personnel will meet with all concerned parties and walk over the
site to explain all flags and markings. It is important that everyone
understand what is expected so that Final construction meets plans and
specification and the job can be certified for payment (iF cost-sharing
is involved) .
The pad dimensions and grades are the best estimate. The BUILDER or
CONTRACTOR is RESPONSIBLE for final layout and design of the pads. The
Soil Conservation Service personnel will assist in a limited capacity,
as its major concern is the proper design and construction of the waste
treatment lagoon.
The actual amount of material required for pads and dam may vary from the
estimates . The design will attempt to balance cuts and fills as close as
possible. If additional material is required after construction is complete
on the lagoon, the contractor and owner will negotiate on the price and
location of borrow area.
