Dear Turkey Hogs, LLC:
In accordance with your Notification of Change of Ownership received on July 5, 2005, we are hereby
forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Turkey Hogs, LLC, authorizing the
operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in
accordance with General Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Turkey Hogs, LLC, located in Columbus County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than an annual average of 300 Farrow 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 September 30, 2009, and shall hereby void
Certificate of Coverage Number AWS240025 dated 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.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Since this is a revised State
General Permit, it contains new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the
previous 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 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 eases, 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 himlher the use of the land for waste
application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to
secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the
operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving
crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for
realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data,
climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that
restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year.
Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but
less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where
runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard
343 - 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.
-----------------------------------------------------_.......................... ..----------------------- .......... .... ------------------
405128 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 6/20/2005 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. Wastelnutrient loading rates on
these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted
to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior
to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the
following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from
a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any
residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste
from facilities sited on or after October 1,1995, shall not be applied closer that 25
feet to perennial waters.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than
those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public
right-of-ways.
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.
---------------------------------------------------.-------------------------- ------------------------------------- -- --
405 l28 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 6/20/2005 Specification Page 2

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

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 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a
rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing
conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced P to 1.5' in row.
For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus,
potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 1001b/ac N in
the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240
lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts.
Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization
of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or
extension agent for assistance.

Dear Sonya,
On March 4, 1998, I granted Eric S taton of Tabor City Farm
(Facility number 24-25) a Conditional Approval under Heading III,
Section B for his "Land Application Site." The vegetation was to
be established by 4-15-98. Due to the inability to get a
contractor, Mr. Staton did not get the vegetation in until June
15th.
I checked the vegetation on this farm Monday, Sept. 21, 1998.
Enclosed is Page 4 of the certification form with the appropriate
box checked certifying "The cropping system is in place on all
land as specified in the animal waste management plan."
If you need additional information or have any questions, give me
a call at the above number.
S-Ancerely,
Edward E. Davis, District Technician

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 OF 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 personae: 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 compietz
on the lagoon, the contractor and owner will negotiate on the price and
location of borrow area.

Dear Board of Supervisors,
DATE: JULY 01, 1998
I have completed the removal of Ligruid/Sludge from the old,
abandoned lagoon on my farm in Tabor City. The job was
completed June 23, 1998. Edward Davis, District Technician
checked out the work, and has approved the removal of material
from the lagoon.
My plans are to roll the dike banks in, filling the hole with
spoil and vegetating the area. Edward stated, it is required to
remove the outlet pipes from the houses to the closed lagoon in
order for him to certify the closure. This operation used
concrete gutters as outlets.
Due to the closed lagoon being as close to the houses as it is,
removing the gutters and diverting surface water is almost
impossible until the filling takes place.
- Because of economic reasons, I need to wait a while before
filling the hole with the spoil.
The old houses were depopulated in March and the houses were
— pressure washed at that time. No animals have been in these old
houses since that time, nor do I plan to restock these old houses
in the future.
I will manage this closed lagoon, to the best of my ability until
further action of outlet removal and surface water diversions can
be completed. The liquid that collects in the hole will be
analyzed, and if nutrients are present, the liquid will be land
applied at agronomic rates.
If more information is needed, please advise.
Sincerely,
r �

THIS WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN IS FOR THE REMOVAL OF
LIQUID/SLUDGE FROM AN OLD LAGOON THAT IS "TO BE CLOSED" ON
THE TABOR CITY FARM.
THE WASTE ANALYSIS REPORT INDICATES THERE IS 1.7 POUNDS OF
NITROGEN PER ONE THOUSAND (1000) GALLONS OF SLUDGE.

Re: Interagency Group Advice - Caroline Farms
Dear Mr. Wright:
47j*LeACCTppEL
E) FE Fl
The SB 1217 Interagency Group considered your request to review the proposal of
Caroline Farms to upgrade a Columbus County swine farm (the Jimmie Robert Hewitt Farm:
Facility Number 24-25) at its January 27, 1997, meeting. It is our understanding that Caroline
Farms intends to change the farm operation from housing 120 sow farrow -to -finish to 300 sow
farrow -to -feeder, which will increase the number of animals on the farm but will not increase the
steady-state live weight nor result in an exceedance of the registered number of animals, which is
1200. The upgrade will include a new lagoon to meet the ".0200" requirements, and new
replacement houses. If any of these understandings are incorrect, please advise me as soon as
possible.
The Interagency Group believes that the proposals are exempt from the Swine Farm
Siting Law, based on the fact that the lagoon upgrade is being accomplished to comply with the
.0200 rules, and based upon the replacement houses being intended to increase the population to.,
the number for which the operation is registered. The house replacement issue did result in
considerable discussion because the construction of a house not for the purpose of reaching the
registered numbers does appear to be covered under the Siting Law. Further, a key point to
remember is that in no case can the total number of animals at the farm at one time exceed the
registered number of 1200.
Please note that the SB 1217 Interagency Group has not been given the authority to
administer provisions of the Swine Farm Siting Act. The interpretations given in this letter
reflect our agencies' internal policies for administering the animal waste management system

Dear Mr. Staton:
I have considered your request to upgrade the existing
"Jimmy Robert Hewitt" Farm located on SR 1151 on Richard
Wright Road on the left 1 1/2 miles east of Hwy 701 and
the El Rancho Motel. It is my understanding that you
intend to change the farm operation from housing 120 sow
farrow to finish to 300 sow farrow - to - feeder which
will increase the number of animals on the farm but will
not exceed the registered number of 1200 animals at this
farm. The upgrade will include a new lagoon to meet 11.200"
requirements and new replacement confinement houses. If
any of these understandings are incorrect, please let me
know as soon as possible.
The "Columbus County Intensive Livestock Operation Rules"
define an "Expanded animals waste treatment works and
disposal/utilization system" as facilities which require
any modification diie to an increase over the existing
system design capacity.
I have consulted with Donna Register of NRCS and David
Holsinger of DWQ on this matter and both informed me that
they see this as a repair of an existing ILO and not an
expansion. Based on the information given me that the
total number of swine at the farm will not exceed the
registered number of 1200,1 will consider your request as
a repair and not subject to the requirements of the
Columbus County ILO rules for a .ew or expanded ILO as
stated in the rules (Sec.2 defin;tions).
TELEPHONE
(410j "2-5700

Please be aware that the "Columbus County Intensive
Livestock Opeartion Ruses" state that in order for an
existing facility to continue to operate, it must meet
those requirements of Section 15ANCAC 2H.0200, as amended.
Also the new structures, (lagoon and confinement houses)
must meet current NRCS design and construction standards.
I would appreciate your keeping me appraised of any new
changes that may occur in the future with your ILO.
Please feel free to contact me at any time.
Sincerely,
Neil Floyd,

INSTRUCTIONS
All dams built with technical assistance from the Soil Conservation Service
must have a hazard classification assigned by the person responsible for
approving -the design. Most farm ponds, except in borderline cases, can
be classified after a complete ,field investigation without assuming failure
and making breach studies. This data sheet is to be used for recording
the information obtained through field studies and for documenting the
hazard classification. There there is a possibility for loss of life or
major property damage from a dam failure, an approved breach routing
procedure is to be used. (Consult •with the area engineer.)
Hazard classifications of dams are made by evaluating the possibility
for loss of life and the extent of damage that would result if the dam
should suddenly breach --that is --a section of the dam be suddenly and
completely washed out. It is to be assumed that a wall of water will be
released equal to the height of the dam. This flood wave will be reduced
in height as it moves down the flood plain. The wave height (depth of
flooding) should be evaluated for a sufficient distance downstream until
the estimated flood level will not cause significant damage to improvements,
such as homes, buildings, roads, utilities., reservoirs, etc. The breach
flood level will be reduced depending on the valley storage,.slope, and
openess of the flood plain; however, in a narrow -steep valley slopes
steeper than 10% should be given special consideration. One method of
evaluation is to compare available valley storage.( -under flood conditions)
to impoundment storage (figured to the top of the dam) for each reach
evaluated with a judgment estimate made of the flood wave height at all
critical points downstream.
Should there be any questions about the hazard classification for a dam,
the area engineer should be consulted before making design commitments.

Location: 1221 PLEASANT GROVE CHURCH ROAD
BLADENBORO NC 28320
Telephone: 91.0-n648-4986
Type Operation: Existing Farrow to Feeder Swine
Number of Animals: 300.00 sows
(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 tc 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

AMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAO
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.)
300 sows x 7.3 tons waste/sows/year = 2190 tons
I'
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
300 sows x 6.5 lbs PAN/sows/year = 1950 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.

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

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the
acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land
application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient
rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application
of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 330 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 1650
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 5.5 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 13.2 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25o 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

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.

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

showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the
animal waste management system.
,7. 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

18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or
terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and
implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should
be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks,
and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on
site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables
and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if
animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it
should only be applied preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and
bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of
alb waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to
maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will
be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste
storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil
shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste
products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining
element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be
monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these
metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste
analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry
waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be

IRRIGATION SYSTEM DESIGN
The Eric Staton Farm swine farm is located on SR 1151 in Columbus County near Tabor City, NC. An
irrigation system for land application of swine waste is required for the for the facility to be certified under
15A NCAC .0200 Division of Water Quality regulations. This document presents detailed calculations and
specifications for the proper irrigation system to be installed ,given soil and crop parameters, geometry of the
fields to be utilized., and financial constraints.
A solid set (perrnanent) irrigation system is recommended for this farm_ All sprinklers will be single nozzle
full circle preferably Senninger Model 7025RD-1-1"M 418(9/32") @ 55 psi and sprinkler height of 1"5' off
the ground. The sprinkler radius is approximately 70 ft, with each sprinkler spaced at 80 ft. x 80 ft. Spacing
is 6&/o of diameter which provides a good coefficient of uniformity. .
Mr_ Staton has made three fields available for irrigation. The animals will produce a total of 1,950 lbs of
Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) per year (6.5 lbs of PAN/head/year x 300 head = 1,950 lbs of PAN/year).
Coastal Bermuda is planned to be sown into Stallings and Wagram soil. Both soils have the salve Realistic
Xeld Expectations (R.Y.E.) for coastal Bermuda of 5.5 tons/ac. Therefore 275 lbs of Plant Available
Nitrogen. (PAN)/acre/year may be applied.
(50 lbs PAN/ton x 5.5 tons/acre = 275 lbs PAN/year/acre)
Approximately 7.1 acres is required for proper waste application. Therefore, 49 full circle sprinklers spaced
at 80 feet by 80 feet with a radius of 70 feet will provide an effective irrigated area of approximately 7.1
acres. (7.1 acres x 43,560 sq. ft./ acre / 80 ft. x 80 ft./ sprinkler = 49 sprinklers). Per the attached
construction plan there appears to be sufficient land available for proper waste application at this site.
There are three different fields all under one ownership. The irrigation system has been laid out without
respe--t to field boundaries. A 50 foot property buffer is observed in the lower south end of field 6 and on
the east side of field 7. Note however that field 7 was not required to complete the design. A 25 foot buffer
was observed next to all ditches on the site_

The maximum friction loss in the lateral lines should not exceed 10 psi. A 3-inch lateral will
produce friction loss less than 10 psi. Inlet pessure to the first sprinkler on each lateral should be
maintained at 58 psi. To control water hammer, velocity in the supply line should be maintained
less than 5 fps. Therefore use-3-inch class 160 PVC supply line which produces a velocity of 4.66
fps. All lines (supply and laterals) will be connected using bell and gasket joints. A 3-inch brass or
plastic gate or globe valve will control the flow to each lateral.
The pump and electric motor should be a 7.5 HP single or three phase with a capacity of 102.6 gpm
at 178 feet of Total Dynamic Head (TDH) with a pump efficiency of at least 65% and a Net
Positive Suction Head Required (NPSHR) less than 8 feet. A Gould Model 3656/3756 size 1 1/2 x
2-8 with a 6.64-inch impeller diameter is recommended. This is available (and is recommended) in
a cast iron pump, closed coupled with a nominal 3500 rpm motor. Safety controls include a manual
disconnect switch, magnetic starter with properly sized heaters (no more than 1.5 amp above rated
operating current). The size of the heater will depend on whether single phase or three phase.
electric service is available.
On the discharge side of the pump, both a gate valve and a check valve need to be installed. The
check valve will prevent flow back through the pump when the system is shut down. The gate
valve will be used to control the pump discharge. Also on the discharge side of the pump an air
relief valve, and a combination pressure relief and vacuum release valve should be installed. Some
kind of priming device will need to be installed on the suction side of the pump. The suction pipe
should be at least 3-inch in diameter. Some kind of strainer needs to be installed on the end of the
suction pipe. A foot valve can be an optional item. While it works, it reduces the priming
requirements.
There needs to be a air rehef/vacuum release valve and a /pressure relief valve at the pump. The
size should be 1 1/2-2 inch. There should also be a 1 inch air relief/vacuum release valve at the two
ends of the supply line. These valves can be plastic, brass, or cast iron, but they should be rated at
a minimum of200 psi working pressure. These valves -will be supported by a metal angle iron or
wooden post. In addition there will be three air relief/pressure relief valve at the end of three
laterals. See construction plans for all valve placements.
There should be thrust blocks placed at all bend, tee, and valve locations. From MRCS 430 DD,
thrust blocks for dead ends and tees are 0.7 that for 90 degree elbows. There is not a calculation "
for a ground entry or Z pipe. It probably should be 25 to 33 percent more than that required for a
90 degree elbow. In' this case it should be approximately 1.61 square feet. See calculations for
thrust block sizing.
All risers shall be equipped with a Webstermatic 1" quick couple. The exact type of riser
connections to the laterals shall be determined by the installer based on the best interest of the
farmer (ie. connection which will allow the farmer the best access for maintenance and repair of the
2 of 4

Eric Staton Farm Project Name: Staton

riser connections). Quick couple will need to be protected by use of a rubber cover. Recommend
using two or three elbow connection for lateral protection. All fitting, connections, valves, tees,
etc. shall be class 200_
As part of this design two deep ditches are required to be crossed. Pipe will have to cross the
ditches exposed. A class 200 6-inch diameter steel pipe shall sleeve the 3-inch PVC supply lines as
they crosses the ditches. Thy steel pipe shall be supported by two concrete headwalls on either side
of the ditch. Ditch walls will be excavated to the extent necessary to ensure proper placement of
the headwalls. (See construction plan)
System Operation
This system is a 9-zone system. Each zone has 5 to 6 sprinklers. One zone is operated at a time by
opening a valve and then starting the pump. The maximum run time for each zone should be
approximately 116.6 minutes. The coastal be.nuda (hay) in Fields 1 and 6 can receive all 1,950
pounds of PAN produced by the site. Approximately 7.55 inches of irrigation at 0.5-inch
applications with an average of 29.34 hours of irrigation per zone per year. For 9 zones this will
require approximately 264 hours of pumping per year. The precipitation rate for this design is
96.3 x 17.1 gpm / (80' x 80') = 02573 in/hr
While an hour meter or flaw meter is not required on the pump, it is important that good records be
kept of the number of hours of operation. Rainfall events may increase or decrease the total amount
of wastewater that has to be pumped. On the average a total of approximately 264 hours of
pumping will be required each year.
During the winter months when temperatures are below freezing the risers need to be drained at
least into the lateral lines. Water should not freeze at the buried depth of 24 inches which is the
recommended depth for laterals and supply lines. The pump, suction pipe and ground entry pipe
need to be drained or protected from freezing using heat tape or some other type of heat. Sprinklers
and air reHef/vacuum release valves should be checked periodically to ensure that they are operating
properly. Check to ensure that the pressure gauge at the pump is operating properly. The pressure
gauge should be glycerin filled to ensure that the wastewater does not damage it.
It is not necessary that the pump, motor and control panel be placed in a shelter, but it is
recommended that a small building be constructed to house the equipment.
Record Keeping & System Oneration Evaluation
Accurate records should be maintained on all land application of wastewater. The two forms IRR-
I and IRR-2 which are contained in the Certification Training for Operators of Animal Waste
3 of 4

Eric Statoa Farm Project Name: Staton
Columbus Count July 25, 1997
Management Systems Manual which operators received when they attended the operator
certification training are excellent for this use. This allows the operator to record when the system
was operated, the length of time and the amount of effluent applied. These records need to be
maintained for five years. This includes pumping records and also lagoon level records. Senate Bill
1217 also requires that the soil be sampled annually within 60 days of land application. It is
suggested that the lagoon be sampled quarterly.
The irrigation system should be operated in daylight hours, and in conditions where wind speeds
are less than 10 mph. Each time the system is operated, the operator should check for leaks,
malfunctioning sprinklers or pump or any other things that might affect system uniformity. The
system should not be operated during freezing weather. With this system there should be a
minimum of maintenance. The electric motor and pump require little maintenance except for
draining the pump during freezing weather and checking the sprinkler for nozzle wear or proper
rotation_ If the pump has a packing seal it may need to be adjusted so that leakage is not excessive.
The leakage should be piped back to the lagoon.
There should be a pressure gauge at the pump and one located on the sprinklers in the field. This
will allow the operator to ensure that there is adequate pressure on the sprinklers in the field.
There is also a requirement that and Emergency Action Plan (EAP) be prepared for the farm.
Details of the EAP are given in Chapter 5, "of the Certification Training for Operators of animal
Waste Management Systems Manual. This plan deals with lagoon overflow, runoff from waste
application fields, leakage from the waste distribution system and leakage from the base or side
walls of the lagoon All of the items in the EAP are common sense things to do if there is a
problem. All farm workers need to be familiar with the plan and how to respond if an emergency
occurs.
Each farm will receive two inspections per year, one :compliance inspection from the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ), and one operational inspection from the NC Division of Soil and Water
Conservation (DSWC). Both inspections will use the same forms. Items that are not in compliance
with the Waste Management Plan can be cited as violations. It is important that the Waste
Management Plan be implemented and followed.
The system should be evaluated annually using the procedures developed by specialist at North
Carolina State University. The evaluation brochures are available through the local North Carolina
Cooperative Extension Service Office.
If there are any questions or comments regarding the design of this irrigation system please contact

Field Calibration Procedures
for Animal Wastewater Application Equipment
STATIONARY
SPRINKLER
IRRIGATION SYSTEM
General Guidelines
Land application equipment used on animal production farms must be field
calibrated or evaluated in accordance with existing design charts and tables
according to state rules that went into effect September 1, 1996. Technical
Specialist certifying waste management plans after September 1, 1996, must
also certify that operators have been provided calibration and adjustment
guidance for all land application equipment. The rules apply to irrigation sys-
tems as well as all other types of liquid, slurry, or solid application equipment
information presented in manufacturers' charts are based on average
operating conditions for relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and appli-
cation rates change over time as equipment ages and components wear. As a
result, equipment should be field calibrated regularly to ensure that applica-
tion rates and uniformity are consistent with values used during the system
design and given in manufacturers' specifications. Feld calibration is a simple
procedure involving collection and measurement of the material being
applied at several locations in the application area. This publication con-
tains step-by-step guidelines for field calibration of stationary sprinkler
irrigation systems.
Operating an irrigation system differently than
assumed in the design will alter the application rate,
uniformity of coverage, and subsequently the appli-
cation uniformity. Operating with excessive pressure
results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift,
and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. Pump
wear tends to reduce operating pressure and floe+*.
With continued use, nozzle wear results in an in-
crease in the nozzle opening, which will.increase the
discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter.
Clogging of nozzles or crystallization of main lines
can result in increased pump pressure but reduced
flow at the sprinkler. Plugged intakes will reduce
operating pressure. An operating pressure below
design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter
and application uniformity. Field calibration helps
ensure that nutrients from animal waste are applied
uniformly and at proper rates.
The calibration of a stationary sprinkler irrigation
system involves setting out collection containers,
operating the system, measuring the amount of
wastewater collected in each container, and then
computing the average depth of application (applica-
tion volume) and application uniformity.
An in -line flow meter installed in the main
irrigation line provides a good estimate of the total
volume pumped from the lagoon during each irriga-
tion cycle. The average application depth can be
determined by dividing the pumped volume by the
application area. The average application depth is
computed from the formula.
Average application depth (inches)
Volume pumped (gallons)
2.7,154 (gal/ac-in) X Application area (acres)
The average application depth is the average
amount applied throughout the field_ Unfortunately,
sprinklers do not apply the same depth of water
tnroughout their wetted area.Under normal operat-
ing conditions, application depth decreases towards
the outer perimeter of the wetted diameter Station-
ary sprinkler systems are designed to have overlap of
30 to 65 percent of the wetted sprinkler diameter to
compensate for the declining application along the

outer perimeter. When operated at the design pres-
sure, this overlap results in acceptable application
uniformity_
when operated improperly, well -designed systems
will not provide acceptable application uniformity.
For example, if the pressure is too low, the application
depth will be several times higher near the center of
sprinkler and water will not be thrown as far from the
sprinkler as indicated in manufacturers' charts. Even
through the average application depth may be accept-
able, some areas receive excessively high application
while others receive no application at all.
When applying wastewater high in nutrients, it is
important to determine the application uniformity.
Collection con-tainers distributed throughout the
application area must be used to evaluate application
uniformity. Many types of containers can be used to
collect flow and determine the application unifor-
mity Standard rain gauges work best and are recom-
mended because they already have a graduated scale
from which to read the application depth.
Fans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a
unizorm opening and cross section can be used,
provided the container is deep enough (at least 4
inches deep) to prevent splash and excessive evapora-
tion, and the liquid collected can be easily trans-
ferred to a scaled container for measuring. All con-
tainers should be the same size and shape.
All collection containers should be set up at the
same height relative to the height of the sprinkler
nozzie (discharge elevation). Normally, the top of
each container should be no more than 36 inches
above the ground. Collectors should be located so
that there is no interference from the crop. The crop
canopy should be trimmed to preclude interference
or splash into the collection container.
Calibration should be performed during periods
of low evaporation. Best times are before 10 a.m. or
after = p.m. on days with sight wind (less than 35
miles per hour.. On cool, cloudy days the calibration
can be performed any time when wind velocity is less
than 5 miles per hour.
General Guidelines for Stationary
Sprinklers
Rain gauges or other collection containers should be
spaced in a grid pattern fully enclosing the "effective"
wetted area defined by the sprinkler spacing. The
most common spacing pattern for stationary sprin-
hers is a square spacing where the distance between
sprinklers is the same as the spacing between laterals.
The spacing between sprinklers and laterals is
nor-mally between 50 to 65 percent of the sprinkler
wetted diameter specified by the manufacturer.
Collection gauges should be placed one-fourth
the lateral line length from the main and no further
apart than one-fourth the wetted sprinkler radius or
effective sprinkler spacing. (For example, if the
effective spacing is 80 feet, spacing between gauges
should be no more than 20 feet).
The grid pattern and number of gauges required
to complete the calibration depends on the pattern
of operating the irrigation system. The size of the
calibration area should be no less than the "effective"
area of one sprinkler. When sprin tiers are arranged in
a rectangular or square pattern with proper overlap,
an "effective area" receives flow from four sprinklers.
Thus, a minimum of four sprinklers should be
included in the calibration.
The reliability of the calibration generally im-
proves as more sprinklers are included in the calibra-
tion area.. If all sprinklers contributing flow to the
calibration area are functioning correctly, it is
neces-sary to include only the minimum number of
c sprinklers as described in the preceding paragraph.
But, a malfunctioning sprinkler can greatly influence
the calibration results. Its effect on the calibration
depends on the calibration setup and number of
sprinklers being calibrated, the malfunctioning
sprinkles position within the calibration area, the
direction of the prevailing wind, and the nature of
the malfunction. For these reasons, it is extremely
important to observe the performance of every
sprinkler contributing to the calibration while the'
calibration is being performed and to record any
obvious performance irregularities. The more
sprin-klers that can be included in the calibration, the _
more representative the calibration results will be of
the entire field and the less influence one malfunc-
tioning sprinkler will have on the calibration results.
The volume (depth) collected during calibration
should be read as soon as a zone or sprinkler is shut
osri to minimize evaporation from the rain gauge.
Where a procedure must be performed more than
once, (Setups 3, 4, or 5 described below) containers
should be read and values recorded immediately aftez
each different set up.
Operating patterns affect collection container
layout and calibration procedures and results. Typical

the wetted diameter of one sprinkler. Sixteen gauges
are set out as shown in Figure 5 (Lateral A) (8 gauges
on each side of the lateral) with all 16 gauges posi-
tioned within the effective sprinkler width. The outer
edges are ignored at the onset of the calibration. Flow
from all sprinklers is summed then averaged to
compute the average
application depth for the
effective area.
For the second alterna-
tive, the entire width of
the field is included in the
calibration as shown in
Figure 5 (Lateral B). At least
16 gauges should be set
out on each side of the
lateral. The calibration can
be performed all at once
(both sides of the lateral
which requires 8Z gauges)
or the procedure can be
performed twice, once on
each side of the lateral
using 16 gauges at a time.
The "non -zero" volumes
collected are averaged to
get a `preliminary" average
application depth for the
wetted area_ Next, the
average application depth
for each row of gauges is
computed (rows are
assumed to be oriented
parallel to the lateral). In
this computation, zero
values are included. Those
rows whose row average is
less than one-half the
average from the entire
wetted area are then
excluded 2-nd assumed to
fall outside the effective
area. The effective width is
the distance from the
lateral line to the furthest -
row from the lateral that is
retained. Step-by-step
procedures for this method
are given in the Case M
example on page 4.

An application uniformity greater than
75 is excellent for stationary sprinklers_
Application uniformity between 50 to
75 is in the "good" range and is .
acceptable for wastewater application.
Generally, an application uniformity
below 50 is not acceptable for waste-
water irrigation. If the computed U,. is
less than 50 percent, system adjustments
are required. Contact your irrigation
dealer or Certified Technical Specialist
for assistance.

I (we) verify that all the above information is correct and will be updated upon changing. I (we) understand the operation and
maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste management plan for the farm named above and will
implement these procedures. I (we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and
storage system or construction of new facilities -will require a new certification to be submitted to the Division of
Environmental Management before the new animals are stocked, I (we) understand that there must be no discharge of animal
waste from the storage or application system to surface waters of the state either directly through a man-made conveyance or
from a storm event less severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm and there must not be run-off from the application of animal
waste. I (we) understand that run-off of pollutants from lounging and heavy use areas must be minimized using technical
standards developed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The approved plan will be filed at the farm and at the
office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District: I (we) know that any modification must be approved by a technical
specialist and submitted to the Soil and Water Conservation District prior to implementation. A change in land ownership

REVISED IRRIGATION SYSTEM DESIGN
Ta,bo r C tT� I--G r►r� �
The is located on SR 1151 in Columbus County near Tabor City, NC. An
irrigation system was originally designed for the facility in July of 1997. The irrigation system was
designed for coastal bermuda hay. However, Mr. Staten utilizes the spray fields for grazing. Therefore, the
original system is not sufficient in utilizing the total amount of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) being
generated for the facility. In order to peep the existing fields for grazing, Mr. Staten needed to obtain some
additional land for waste application. As a result, Field #7 that was included in the original survey is now
being added to the Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) for animal waste application -
The original design consisted of Senninger Model 7025RD-1-1"M #18(9/32") solid set sprinklers with an
operating pressure of 55 psi at a sprinkler height of 1.5' off the ground. The current system consists of 9
zones with 5 to 6 sprinklers in each zone.
Field #7 contains a Wagram Soil with a Realistic Yield Expectation (RYE) for coastal bermuda hay of 5.5
tons/acre. Fields #1 and #6 (the fields in the original design) contain Stallings and Wagram soils. The
RYE value for the Stallings soil is the same as the Wagram soil for coastal bermuda hay. Since all the
Fields are going to be grazed, the RYE must be reduced by 25%. All the fields are going to overseeded with
small grain during the winter months, therefore an additional 50 lbs. PAN/ac. can be applied per year.
(50 lbs. PAN/ton X 5.5 tons/ac) X 0.75 + 50 lbs. PAN/ac. = 256.25 PAN/ac.
A total of 10 sprinklers (2 zones with 5 sprinklers each) will be added to Field V. Therefore, the irrigation
system will consist of I l zones with 59 sprinklers. The 59 full circle sprinklers spaced at 80 feet by 80 feet
with a radius of 70 feet will provide an effective irrigated area of approximately 8.67 acres. This additional
information should accompany the original design for a complete design of the entire irrigation sytem.
If there are any questions or comments regarding the design of this irrigation system please contact Jeff
Young of the Division of Soil and Water Conservation.- Asheville Regional Office at [phone].

above and will implement these procedures. I (we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the
waste treatment and storage system or construction of new facilities will require a new certification to be submitted to
the Division of Environmental Management before the new animals are stocked. I (we) understand that there must be
no discharge of animal waste from the storage or application system to surface waters of the state either directly
through a man-made conveyance or from a storm event less severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm and there must not
be run-off from the application of animal waste. I (we) understand that run-off of pollutants from lounging and heavy
use areas must be minimized using technical standards developed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The
approved plan will be filed at the farm and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation Service. I (we)
know that any modification must be approved by a technical specialist and submitted to the Soil and Water
conservation district prior to implementation. A change in land ownership requires written notification to DEM or a
new certification ( if the approved plan is changed) within 60 days of a title transfer.

Narrative
Tabor City Farm is managed by Eric Staton. Erie applies animal waste from this 300 sow farrow to
feeder operation on bermudagrass pasture during the summer months and overseeds with small grain
during the fall and winter.
Application window for bermudagrass is user defined to show 03/01 thru 10/15. In the coastal plain, the
October 15th date is acceptable according to John College, Environmental Specialist with the Division
Soil and Water Pilot Program.
inorderto show this plan as plan, I have shown the dates of application on the small grain
overseed as being 01/01-12/31. Actual application will be from 01/01 to 3/31 with 10 % being applied in
January, 20 % applied in February, and 20 % applied during March. Another application period will
begin 10/01 and run until 12/31, with 20 % being applied during October, 20 % during November, and 10
% during December.
If anyone has questions concerning this plan, you may contact me at Columbus Soil & Water
Conservation District. My phone number is 910-642-2196 ext. 3.

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. Animal operations that generate liquid waste and utilize waste storage facilities (lagoons or holding ponds) may apply more or
less waste in any given year than is annually generated by the facility. In order to determine whether the plan adequately utilizes the waste produced by the facility,
the storage capacity table included in this plan should be reviewed to ensure that the design capacity of the storage facility is not exceeded during the planning
period.
Depending on the requirements of the crop and the nutrient content of the waste, some nutrients will likely be over or under applied if animal waste is being
utilized. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are required if animal waste is being applied. Soil tests should be used to
balance the nutrient application amounts with the realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Nutrient management plans may require that the application of animal
waste be limited so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field.

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 available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of
accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure. This 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 fold that the producer either
owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly
apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly
dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a
landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the
use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner
of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient
Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the
number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or
available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs
for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical
data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are
regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre
per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per
acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter
strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, MRCS 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
678976 Database Version 1.05 Date Printed: 09-19-2001 Specification Page 1

rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a
method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No
ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall
events, or when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner
that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit
growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be
considered.
10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring
planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient
loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable
winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not
be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages
breaking dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with
the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is
applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at
least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal
waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1,
1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other
than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and
public right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways,
or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be
applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been
approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal
waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly
into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be
-- - - - ---- - - ---
-
678976G [database Version I.05 Date Printed: 09-19-200I Specification Page 2

applied ar agronomic rates in a manner that causes not runoff or drift
from site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets,
sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management
system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all
disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas
shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such
as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where
considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and
accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for
evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the
owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan"
which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and
erosion.
1.9. 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
678976 Database Version 1.05 Date Printed: 09-19-2001 Specification Page 3

waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower
application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the
soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when
these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and
maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis
records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste
application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years.
Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for a
minimum of five years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

Crop Notes
The following crop note applies to field(s): I -Z l , I Z2, 1 Z3, I Z4, 1 Z5
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 busheislaere and rye at 1-1
1/2 bushels/acre. Plant all these small grains at 1-1 1/2" deep. Adequate depth control is essential. Review
the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding
variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Apply no more than 30 lbs/acre N at
planting. Phosphorus and potash recommended by a soil test can also be applied at this time. The
remaining N should be applied during the months of February -March.
The following crop note applies to field(s): I-Zl, IZ2, IZ3, iZ4, IZ5
Bermudagrass CP, Mineral Soil, Poorly Drained to Somewhat Poorly Drained.
Adaptation: Effective artificial drainage MUST be in place to achieve Realistic Yield Expectations
provided for these soils.
in the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. I to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs I" to 3"
deep (15" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and
wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a
rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing
conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced I' to 1.5' in row.
For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus,
potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 lb/ac N in
the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240
Ib/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.

In the Coastal Plain, oats and barley should be planted from October 15-October 30; and rye from
October 15-November 20. For barley, plant 22 seed/drill row foot and increase the seeding rate by 5% for
each week seeding is delayed beyond the optimum time. See the seeding rates table for applicable seeding
rate modifications in the current NCSU "Small Grain Production Guide". Also, increase the initial
seeding rate by at least 10% when planting no -till. Oats should be planted at 2 bushels/acre and rye at 1-1
1/2 bushels/acre. Plant all these small grains at 1-1 1/2" deep. Adequate depth control is essential. Review
the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding
variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions_ Apply no more than 30 lbs/acre N at

planting. Phosphorus and potash recommended by a soil test can also be applied at this time. The
remaining N should be applied during the months of February -March.
The following crop note applies to feld(s): 6Z6, 6Z7, 6Z8, 6Z9, 7Z10, 7Zl I
Bermudagrass: CP, Mineral Soil, Moderately Well Drained.
Adaptation: Well -adapted.
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 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a
rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing
conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced V to 1.5' in row.
For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus,
potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 lb/ac N in
the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240
Ib/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.

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing, or running off site. You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters or
leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to
ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible location for
all employees at the facility. 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. Sunested responses to some possible problems are listed below.
A. Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are:
a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam.
b. Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B: Runoff from waste application field -actions include:
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
c, Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that caused the runoff.

Permit Application Comments/Reguests
Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) incorporates waste application to a winter small grain over -seed after Bermuda.
A letter dated around the time your WUP was certified indicates that the last application to Bermuda should be prior
to August 31 when overseeding with small grain as this provides the optimum growth, uptake and yield for the crops.
Currently your WUP lists the application window for Bermuda as April through September. Please consider
modifying the application window for Bermuda to April — August to reflect the current guidance for application to
small grain over -seed. The small grain over -seed application window should be revised to September — October and
February — March as well.
2. The Insect Control Checklist for Animal Operations was present but needs to be completed. Please complete the
enclosed forms and return them to us.
3. A July 1, 1998 letter from you indicated that the old farm lagoon had all liquid and solids removed and applied
according to your WUP. It also indicated that the lagoon needed to be filled in and the concrete gutters removed -
Please verify that the lagoon has been completely closed since that time, as planned in your letter.
4. Please indicate if you should be listed as the owner in our database. Several documents show you as the owner, but
our database indicates Caroline Farms as the owner. We can Iist the owner as Caroline Farms/Eric Staton to avoid
confusion.
5. Your irrigation plan shows a solid set system on Fields 1 and b on Tract 4224. Field 7 is also included as a field
receiving waste in your WUP although a notation was made in the irrigation plan that this field is not needed to meet
the acreage requirements. Please indicate how Field 7 is irrigated with animal waste. If additional equipment has
been installed on this field, provide the pertinent information such as the design and certifications and a revised
irrigation layout.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 24-25
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. IRRi, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLURl, 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. Hewitt:
On June 27, 1997 your letter was received notifying the Division of Water Quality that you
requested removal of your facility without understanding the full implications of removal- It is our
understanding that you did not wish to inactivate your facility from the Animal Operations
Registration Database and that it is your intention to sell that facility as an active swine operation.
This letter is to notify you that your swine facility has been reactivated under the design capacity
of 120 head. According to Edward Davis of the Columbus County SWCD, the operation is a 120
sow farrow to finish facility. Therefore, the design capacity total number of animals is 1200 head,
which corresponds to the original registration submitted November 22, 1993. Your facility ID
number will continue to be 24-25. Please reference this facility number on all correspondence with
DWQ regarding this operation.
If you have any comments or questions please feel free to call Sue Homewood at [phone]

Dear Mr. Hewitt:
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 919/733-0026.

DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
MEMORANDUM
To: Dave Adkins
I
From: Jim Bushardt?`'"_i _
Subject: J. Robert Hewett Swine Farm
Columbus County
The writer and Mr. Steve West performed re -inspections on
several swine facilities around the Tabor City area on September
21, 1995. Lunch at the Todd House was excellent. During this
activity, Mr. Hewett's swine farm was visited to determine if
corrective actions had been performed. Mr. Hewett was visited
initially on July 21, 1995, and the inspection revealed that a
pipe had been constructed within the lagoon dike and a discharge
of lagoon wastewater was entering a farm ditch which was
tributary to a nearby swamp.
The pipe has been removed from the dike. Mr. Hewett has
indicated that he is working with the Columbus County NRCS to
correct deficiencies at the farm. One of the flush tanks was
noticed to be malfunctioning during the inspection. The bucket
within the tank was leaking. This bucket catches water until
weighted enough to open the flush tank valve. The result was a
discharge of an unknown volume of swine waste to the farm ditch.
The writer's cursory assessment is that less than 100 gallons was
discharged via over -land flow. Mr. Hewett was meeting with the
NRCS at the time of the inspection. The meeting concerned his
response to the Division relative to his civil penalty assessment
notification. A third attempt to reach Mr. Hewett by phone was
successful, and we informed him of the anomaly at 14:30. He
indicated that he had made a repair to the tank, but the repair
must not have worked. once informed of the problem, he responded
immediately by turning the flushing system off. He indicated that
he would get a new bucket to repair the system. The writer
verified the activity prior to leaving the area. A copy of the
inspection form is enclosed for your review.

Subject: Notice of Violation and Enforcement Recommendation
J. Robert Hewett Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation
Columbus County
The Wilmington Regional Office has prepared correspondence
that recommends removal of the deemed permitted status and an
enforcement report has been prepared that covers the willful
discharge of pollutants (violation of G.S. 143-215(e) for the
Director's consideration. The items are enclosed.
The Compliance Group has informed the Wilmington Region that
designation as concentrated animal operation is no longer
appropriate. Therefore, Mr. Hewett has received a notice of
violation for noncompliance with G.S. 143-215(e) which is
enclosed.
Mr. Hewett appears to be determined to test the State's
pollution control laws. The writer estimates that discharge
activities will continue at this facility until Mr. Hewett faces
enforcement activities.

Pollutants to Surface Waters of the State
J. Robert Hewett Farm
Columbus County
Dear Mr. Hewett:
This letter is to advise you, as owner and operator of the J.
Robert Hewett concentrated animal feeding operation, that you are
in violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215(e) by
constructing a conveyance for the willful discharge of pollutants
to an unnamed tributary of Cypress Branch. This water body is
classified "C-Swamp waters" within the Lumber River Basin. Such
violations may result in the assessment of civil penalties of up to
$5,000.00 for the first offense.
An investigation was performed on July 21, 1995 by a member of
the Division's Wilmington Regional Office. This inspection revealed
that swine lagoon waste was being discharged via gravity flow pipe
into the unnamed tributary of Cypress Branch. A water quality
sample was taken for fecal coliform bacteria and it resulted in a
value of 600,000 colonies/100 ml. These swine waste pollutants will
cause oxygen levels, within some point downstream of the farm, to
reach low levels that can cause fish kills. In addition, discharges
of wastewater having high concentrations of fecal coliform bacteria
are of health concern. You should immediately remove the outlet
pipe from your swine lagoon and begin to apply this waste onto your
coastal bermuda field at agronomic rates.
It is requested that you respond in writing to this Office by
August 11, 1995 and provide details concerning corrective actions
implemented to prevent future occurrences.

Dear Mr. Hewett:
Animal Operations in the State have been deemed permitted by the Division of Environmental
Management in accordance with Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code, 2H, Rule .0217. An
individual nondischarge permit is not required if certain criteria are met. A major requirement to be deemed
permitted is that there must not be a discharge of gLny wastewater from the operation to the waters of the State.
An inspection of the Hewett Swine Farm was performed on July 21, 1995 by a member of the
Division's Wilmington Regional Office staff. This inspection revealed that the lagoon was discharging swine
waste into an unnamed tributary of Cypress Branch. This water body is classified "C-Swamp waters" within
the Lumber River Basin. The operation houses approximately 1500 swine, including 112 sows. Although, there
appeared to be adequate pasture cropland available for usage, a spray irrigation system was not present.
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and notification that your animal operation has been found
discharging wastewater to the surface waters of the State and is therefore no longer deemed permitted as a
nondischarge facility under 15A NCAC 2H .0217. Therefore, the existing wastewater treatment system serving
your animal operation is currently being operated without a permit as required by North Carolina General
Statute 143-21.5.1.

If you wish to be reconsidered for coverage by the deemed permitted provision of the Rule, you must:
1)immediately eliminate the discharge of wastewater; 2)make any modifications needed to ensure there will be
no future discharges; 3)send in an approved animal waste management plan by completing the attached
certification form. This form and a copy of your plan must be returned to:
Division of Environmental Management
Water Quality Section Planning Branch
P.O. Box 29535
Raleigh, NC 27626-0535
Your approved animal waste management plan must explain how you will collect, store, treat and land
apply your animal waste to the land in an environmentally acceptable manner. To assist you in the
development of this plan and to provide the required certification that the plan is acceptable, you should contact
your local agricultural agencies such as the Soil and Water Conservation District, the USDA Natural
Resource and Conservation Service, or the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service.
If we have not received the requested certification within 60 days of receipt of this letter or if there are
additional discharges to the surface water, a civil penalty of up to $10,000 may be assessed and you may be
required to apply for an individual non discharge permit from the Division. This permit, if issued, will contain
monitoring and reporting requirements determined to be necessary by the Division.
If you have any questions concerning this matter please do not hesitate to contact either Mr. Dave
Adkins, Water Quality Regional Supervisor for our Wilmington Office at (910)-395-3900 or Dianne Williams

ENFORCEMENT CASE ASSESSMENT FACTORS
TYPE: (CF) CAFO - Willful Discharge
Violator: Mr. J. Robert Hewett
Address: Route 1, Box 14, Tabor City, North Carolina 28463
Regional Office: Wilmington
1. The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public
health, or to private property resulting from the violation:
A water quality sample was taken at the lagoon discharge point for fecal coliform
bacteria to show evidence of water quality degradation. The results indicated 600,000
colonies/ 100m1.
2. The duration and gravity of the violation:
The duration of this willful violation is unknown.
3. The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality:
Confirmed surface water degradation. Personal health effects from potential
groundwater degradation are unknown. Air quality is not considered to be impacted as
a result of this discharge activity.
4. The cost of rectifying the damage:
Unknown, the farmer would need to install a fixed spray irrigation system for long
term fix. A short terra fix would require renting a pump and spray device which
would be assumed to cost $500.00 per spray event.

5. The amount of money saved by noncompliance:
The savings would be approximately $500.00 per spray event, if rental equipment is
used.
6. The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority:
The violator has no prior violation record with DEM.
7. The cost the State of the enforcement procedures: $345.83
8. Violator's degree of cooperation (including efforts to prevent or restore) recalcitrance:
Mr. Hewett was very cooperative in showing the illegal discharge for the swine
lagoon. He did not seem to be willing to discontinue the illegal discharge activities for
monetary reasons.
9. Mitigating Circumstances:
Mr. Hewett stated that he had applied with MRCS for assistance in 1993.
10. Assessment Factors:
a) IWC
b) Receiving Stream
c) -Damage Y/N If yes, include report from WRC
11. An animal operations inspection form, visual aid showing the discharge route, and
laboratory results are included.

SEPTEMBER 22, 1995
DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
MEMORANDUM
To: Dave Adkins
From: ._ ,us ardf?
Subject: J. Robert Hewett Swine Farm
Columbus County
The writer and Mr. Steve West performed re -inspections on
several swine facilities around the Tabor City area on September
21, 1995. Lunch at the Todd House was excellent. During this
activity, Mr. Hewett's swine farm was visited to determine if
corrective actions had been performed. Mr. Hewett was visited
initially on July 21, 1995, and the inspection revealed that a
pipe had been constructed within the lagoon dike and a discharge
of lagoon wastewater was entering a farm ditch which was
tributary to a nearby swamp.
The pipe has been removed from the dike. Mr. Hewett has
indicated that he is working with the Columbus County MRCS to
correct deficiencies at the farm. One of the flush tanks was
noticed to be malfunctioning during the inspection. The bucket
within the tank was leaking. This bucket catches water until
weighted enough to open the flush tank valve. The result was a
discharge of an unknown volume of swine waste to the farm ditch.
The writer's cursory assessment is that less than 100 gallons was
discharged via over -land flow. Mr. Hewett was meeting with the
NRCS at the time of the inspection. The meeting concerned his
response to the Division relative to his civil penalty assessment
notification. A third attempt to reach Mr._ Hewett by phone was
successful, and we informed him of the anomaly at 14:30. He
indicated that he had made a repair to the tank, but the repair
must not have worked. Once informed of the problem, he responded
immediately by turning the flushing system off. He indicated that
he would get a new bucket to repair the system. The writer
verified the activity prior to leaving the area. A copy of the
inspection form is enclosed for your review.

NOTICE OF VIOLATION
As Per 15A NCAC 2H .0217(a)(1)
Jimmy Hewett Farm
Columbus County
Dear Mr. Hewett:
Animal Operations in the State have been deemed permitted by the Division of Environmental
Management in accordance with Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code, 2H, Rule .0217. An
individual nondischarge permit is not required if certain criteria are met. A major requirement to be deemed
permitted is that there must not be a discharge of my wastewater from the operation to the waters of the State.
An inspection of the Hewett Swine Farm was performed on duly 21, 1995 by a member of the
Division's Wilmington Regional Office staff. This inspection revealed that the lagoon was discharging swine
waste into an unnamed tributary of Cypress Branch. This water body is classified "C-Swamp waters" within
the Lumber River Basin. The operation houses approximately 1500 swine, including 112 sows. Although, there
appeared to be adequate pasture cropland available for usage, a spray irrigation system was not present.
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and notification that your animal operation has been found
discharging wastewater to the surface waters of the State and is therefore no longer deemed permitted as a
nondischarge facility under t5A NCAC 2H .0217. Therefore, the existing wastewater treatment system serving
your animal operation is currently being operated without a permit as required by North Carolina General
Statute 143-215.1.

IF
If you wish to be reconsidered for coverage by the deemed permitted provision of the Rule, you must:
1)immediately eliminate the discharge of wastewater; 2)make any modifications needed to ensure there will be
no future discharges; 3)send in an approved animal waste management plan by completing the attached
certification form. This form and a copy of your plan must be returned to:
Division of Environmental Management
Water Quality Section Planning Branch
P.O. Box 29535
Raleigh, NC 27626-0535
Your approved animal waste management plan must explain how you will collect, store, treat and land
apply your animal waste to the land in an environmentally acceptable manner. To assist you in the
development of this plan and to provide the required certification that the plan is acceptable, you should contact
your local agricultural agencies such as the Soil and Water Conservation District, the USDA Natural
Resource and Conservation Service, or the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service.
If we have not received the requested certification within 60 days of receipt of this letter or if there are
additional discharges to the surface water, a civil penalty of up to $10,000 may be assessed and you may be
required to apply for an individual non discharge permit from the Division. This permit, if issued, will contain
monitoring and reporting requirements determined to be necessary by the Division.
If you have any questions concerning this matter please do not hesitate to contact either Mr. Dave
Adkins, Water Quality Regional Supervisor for our Wilmington Office at (910)-395-3900 or Dianne Williams
Wilburn at [phone], ext. 232.

MEMORANDUM
To: Dennis Ramsey
From: Jim Bushardt
Through: Dave Adkins
Through: Rick Shiver
Subject: Notice of Violation and Enforcement Recommendation
J. Robert Hewett Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation
Columbus County
The Wilmington Regional Office has prepared correspondence
that recommends removal of the deemed permitted status and an
enforcement report has been prepared that covers the willful
discharge of pollutants (violation of G.S, 143-215(e) for the
Director's consideration. The items are enclosed..
The Compliance Group has informed the Wilmington Region that
designation as concentrated animal operation is no longer
appropriate. Therefore, Mr. Hewett has received a notice of
violation for noncompliance with G.S. 143=215(e) which is
enclosed.
Mr. Hewett appears to be determined to test the State's
pollution control laws. The writer estimates that discharge
activities will continue at this facility until Mr. Hewett faces
enforcement activities.
If you have questions concerning this topic, you may contact
me or Dave at [phone].

Mr. Shiver:
I received your letter stating my operation was in notice of
violation on August 2, 1995. Your letter asked I respond in
writing on my intentions.
The last pumping of my lagoon was on small grain in November
of 1994. At that time, I had a man hired to help on the
operation. He quit the latter part of November.
I do not own an irrigation system, however, I rent one from
Will Scott. It's a traveling gun!
I have had four operations in the last three years and need
a hernia operation now. Due to health reasons I could.not
pull on the irrigation system.
I have contacted Donna Register, District Conservationist
and Edward Davis with Columbus Soil and Water Conservation
District and have worked up a schedule on management of this
operation.
Dates and intentions are listed below:
August 2 - Capped overflow pipe to prevent further
drainage. Will remove pipe when lagoon is
lowered, afraid dike will rupture if done
before.
August 3 - Charles Ward, MRCS Technician and Edward Davis
made preliminary survey and sized existing
lagoon.
August 4 - Lagoon samples taken so waste can be applied
at proper rates.
August 7 - Weather permitting, cut 8 acres coastal and
remove hay on August 11_
August 9 - Will Scott is scheduled to start pumping lagoon

K S.
on approximately 5 acres that will be drilled in
small grain in mid -September, so pipe can be re-
moved.
August 14 - Pump waste on coastal field to bring lagoon to a
respectable level.
I also plan to continue working with the Columbus Soil and
Water Conservation District office to update this operation,
by building another lagoon for storage and install a solid
set irrigation system.
I want to meet .0200 regulations sometime in mid 1995, if
all goes well.
Please contact me at the above address or phone number, if
you need to.
Sincerely,
J. Robert Hewett

Constructing a Conveyance for Willfully Discharging
Pollutants to Surface Waters of the State
J. Robert Hewett Farm
Columbus County
Dear Mr. Hewett:
This letter is to advise you, as owner and operator of the J.
Robert Hewett concentrated animal feeding operation, that you are
in violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215(e) by
constructing a conveyance for the willful discharge of pollutants
to an unnamed* tributary of Cypress Branch. This water body is
classified "C-Swamp waters" within the Lumber River Basin. Such
violations may result in the assessment of civil penalties of up to
$5,000.00 for the first offense.
An investigation was performed on July 21, 1995 by a member of
the Division's Wilmington Regional Office. This inspection revealed
that swine lagoon waste was being discharged via gravity flow pipe
into the unnamed tributary of Cypress Branch. A water quality
sample was taken for fecal coliform bacteria and it resulted in a
value of 600,000 colonies/100 ml. These swine waste pollutants will
cause oxygen levels, within some point downstream of the farm, to
reach low levels that can cause fish kills. In addition, discharges
of wastewater having high concentrations of fecal coliform bacteria
are of health concern. You should immediately remove the outlet
pipe from your swine lagoon and begin to apply this waste onto your
coastal Bermuda field at agronomic rates.
It is requested that you respond in writing to this Office by
August 11, 1995 and provide details concerning corrective actions
implemented to prevent future occurrences.

Dear Mr. Hewitt:
This is to inform you that your completed registration form required by the recently
modified nondischarge rule has been received by the Division of Environmental Management
(DENT), Water Quality Section.
Can 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 stacked 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].
