Plan Certification form and submit along with a new WUP or NMP to reflect the changed animal numbers and
operation type. Please be advised that the swine operation may not exceed their permitted steady state live
weight (SSLW) without meeting the performance standards specified in Senate Bill 1465. A copy of this bill can
be found at:
http://www.ncleg.nettSessions/2007/Bills/Senate/HTML/S 1465v7.html
A blank copy of the Animal Waste Management Plan Certification can be downloaded from the following web

Dear John David Blosser:
In accordance with your request for renewal and change of operation type without increasing the
permitted steady state live weight, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC)
issued to John David Blosser, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste management system
in accordance with General Permit AWG100000,
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
and land application of animal waste as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management
Plan (CAWMP) for the John Blosser Swine Farm, located in Columbus County, with an animal capacity
of no greater than an annual average of 1000 Feeder to finish swine. If this is a Farrow to Wean or
Farrow to Feeder operation, there may be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unnecessary, they
may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4

The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2014, and shall hereby void
Certificate of Coverage Number AW S240027 that was previously issued to this facility. 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. Please pay careful attention to the
record keeping and monitoring conditions in this permit. Record keeping forms are unchanged with this
General Permit. Please continue to use the same record keeping forms.
If your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) has been developed based on site -specific information, careful
evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current WUP is inaccurate
you will need to have a new WUP developed.

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

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

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift,
manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation
or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is
prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns
or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the
waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the
waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is
within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste
application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to
secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the
operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving
crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for
realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data,
climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that
restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year.
Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but
less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where
runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard
393 - Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application.
Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land
application field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to
conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the
application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and
Climate in North Carolina" for guidance).
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.
102097 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 6/10/2009 Specification Page 1

8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or
when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that
the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The
potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered.
10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted
crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient Ioading 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.
- ---- ---- ----- ----- ---- - -- --- --- ----- ---- ----- ---- ---- ----- ---- ---- ----- -
102097 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 6/10/2009 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
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

Crop Notes
The following crop note applies to field(s): ZI, Z2, Z4, Z7
Bermudagrass Coastal Plain, 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 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 1' to 1.5' in row.
For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus,
potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 lb/ac N in
the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240
lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts.
Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization
of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or
extension agent for assistance.

Odoi- Abatement Action Plan
There is a genuine concern of citizens that odors may compromise their health and
quality of life. Asa responsible member of the swine production industry we have an
obligation to employ best management practices to ensure that the creation of offensive
odors are minimized.
EfTective N-kirch 1, 1999, Brown's of Carolina's company and contract operations must
be in compliance with regulations regarding control of offensive odors arising from swine
production operations. Brown's of Carolina is proactively pursuing and evaluating new
and developing technologies and practices which will serve to cost-effectively reduce
offensive odors. In the mean time we have the responsibility to employ best management
practices which control objectionable odors. The purpose of this document is to identify
the primary sources of odors arising from swine production operations and define the best
management practices which can be employed to control sources of these odors.
General farm appearance
Keep the farm and access roads neat and in good condition. This may make your
neighbors more tolerant of occasional unavoidable odors.
Action required:
• Keep grass mowed to less than 6 inches.
• Keep the access roads and areas around the buildings policed of trash and
extraneous items at all times.
Use herbicides to control weeds and grasses around bins and buildings_
Sanitation an(l cleanliness within swine buildings
Odors can be minimized by preventing the buildup and decay of urine, manure
and dust and by ensuring the efficient operation of waste -handling systemssand
ventilation.
Action required:
• During cleanup between groups ensure that the pit is thoroughly cleaned and
that all organic matter is removed.
• Prevent manure from accumulating in the aisles.
u Wash the aisles in breeding/gestation once a week.
u Scrape behind the sows daily in the farrowing roam.
o Scrape aisles daily in nurseries and wash as necessary.
❑ Keep the aisles in the finishing buildings free of manure and feed_ Scrap
weekly and wash as necessary.
o Clean and disinfect the loading chute and loading area within one hour of
use.
0 Pull the plug on each house at a scheduled time every week.

Ventilation
Each of the major carriers of odor - - gases, dust and vapors - - can be controlled,
but only with proper ventilation system management. Good ventilation helps to
prevent condensation, dampness and mold, all of which contribute to odor buildup
in swine buildings. It also prevents the buildup of noxious gases formed by the
decomposition of stored manure and improves the air duality for workers and
Pigs.
Action required:
• Keep the interior of buildings clean.
• Brush dust from fan shutters every week.
• Treat walls and ceilings with "Tempo"; a pesticide, to control spiderwebs
between turns and before restockin., the buildingtroom.
• Keep floors clean and dry.
• Ensure that all ventilation components are in proper working order and
calibrated, i.e. control system, fans, fan shutters, air inlets, curtains,
photohelics, override thermostats, heaters.
• Ensure manure handling system i; in proper working order, i.e. recycle
pumps, recycle lines, pipe valves or fittings, flush tanks.(where applicable),
and pit discharge lines.
• Ensure proper pit liquids are maintained, and that pits are emptied and
recharged weekly.
Disposal of dead animals
Decaying carcasses can release offensive odors if they are stored too long for
disposal or pick up or when they are transported.
Action_ required:
• Remove dead animals and afterbs,-di every day.
• Remove dead animals from pens to the house aisles.
• Leave dead animals in house aisles until it is time for the dead run.
• Dead animals destined for rendering must be placed in a container located out
of sight from the public and if possible in the shade.
• If carcasses are buried, burial pits must conform to North Carolina Statutes.
Pits must be covered immediately after burial.
• If carcasses are incinerated, combustion should be adequate to prevent odors
and air pollution.

Feed management
Feed is a primary source of dust in swine buildings. It is well known that odor
intensifies with increasing dust levels. Many of the compounds associated with
odors become attached to these airborne feed particles
Action required:
• Feed drops should be extended into the feeder to minimize feed free fall and
confine feed dust to within the feeder hopper. The end of the feed drop
should be 14" from the bottom of the feeder.
• Keep feeders in excellent adjustment at all times.
• Feed on the ground or left on the top of feed bins can become a primary
source of odor concern. Also, feed may attract flies, rodents and other
wildlife which are vectors for disease transmission and may destroy buildings
and equipment.
❑ Feed which is spilled during delivery or occurs from opening the
access door to the hopper boot must be removed as soon as it is
discovered.
o If the feed is not wet or spoiled then as much as possible should be
recovered and fed to swine.
❑ Feed which is not worthy of recovering should be collected and
dispensed by spreading into an open field not !ess than 1-50 feet from
any swine building. This applies to feed originating from the
following events-
- Vacuuming feed
- Performing bin out maintenance
- Any feed spilled during feed delivery
❑ Advise feed mill at once of incident so that corrective action can be
taken.
Fly control
Flies are attracted to swine operations because of odors and decomposing swine
waste or dead animals. Flies are a nuisance and serve as a vector for disease
transmission.
Action required:
Successful fly control can be accomplished through implementation of the
following practices:
• Do not allow manure to build up.
• Immediately remove spilled and spoiled feed from within and around the
building.
• Dispose of dead animals and afterbirth.
• Spray insecticides on a regular basis.

Rodent control
Rodents are a primary disease vector and may cause considerable damage to buildings
and equipment.
Action required:
• Clean up feed spills within and outside of buildings immediately.
• Keep feeders in excellent adjustment -
Put out rodent bait weekly.
Irritation
.action required
• Only spray when there is no drift beyond the boundary line.
• Schedule irrigation events for times when neighbors are less likely to be at
home or out in their yards. Avoid irrigating after 5:00 p.m. or on weekends.
• Use minimum operating pressure as specified by irrigation design to reduce to
possibility of wind drift of fine droplets.
• Ensure that irrigation pump intake is within ? feet of surface of lagoon.
• Pump at times of day when lowest humidity occurs.
• Monitor each pumping event closely to prevent ponding of irrigated water on
soil surface.
• When prevailing wind is in the direction of the neighbors and an irrigation
event must occLIr, pumpon fields or areas farthest away from neighbors-
• Construct and maintain windbreaks and borders between irrigation fields and
neighbors.
Lagoons
Actions required.
• Keep lagoon dikes mowed and well maintained.
• Check pH of lagoon regularly as signficant changes in pH may indicate a
problem with lagoon treatment efficiency,
• Keep lagoon free oftrash and debris.
Cattle operations
Actions re aired.
• Avoid feeding cattle in concentrated areas for extended periods of time.
• Feed cattle in well drained areas.
• Use hay trailers or other means to keep feeding area neat and dry.
• If a stationary watering device is to be used, a concrete pad should be placed
such that spilled water is contained to prevent ponding and muddy areas.
• Pest control practices should be:employed.

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 permit application and a new certification, to be submitted to the Division
of Water Quality (DWQ) and permit approval received before the new animals are stocked. I (we) understand that there must
be no discharge of animal waste from the storage system to surface waters of the state unless specifically allowed under a
permit from DWQ 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 USDA -Natural
Resources Conservation Service (MRCS). The approved plan will be filed at the farm and at the DWQ Regional Office and
the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD). I (we) know that any modification must be approved by
a technical specialist and submitted to the DWQ Regional Office and local SWCD and required approvals received from DWQ
prior to implementation. A change in farm ownership requires a permit application to be sent to DWQ along with a new
certification (if the approved plan is changed).

NOTE: Symbol * means user entered data_

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.

NOTE: Symbol * means user entered data.

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 tha
the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated. If available storage capacity is negative,
the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure. Either of these
situations indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the
structure's temporary storage capacity.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift,
manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation
or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is
prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns
or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the
waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the
waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is
within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/hcr the use of the land for waste
application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to
secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the
operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving
crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for
realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data,
climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that
restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year.
Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but
less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where
runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard
393 - Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application.
Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land
application field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to
conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the
application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and
Climate in North Carolina" for guidance).
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.
-- ----------------------------------------------------------------
928983 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 11/4/2003 Specification Pape 1

8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or
when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that
the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The
potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered.
10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted
crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on
these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted
to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior
to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the
following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from
a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any
residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste
from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer that 25
feet to perennial waters.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
1.3. 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.
----------------- ---------------------------- ---- --
928983 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 11/4/2003 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. Hlghly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of
the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons.
Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A
marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage
ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least
annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the
rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied
based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen
based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative
crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive 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 five (5)
years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study Commission on Agricultural
Waste, was enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly. This legislation requires the owner of any
animal waste management system that serves 250 or more swine, 100 or more confined cattle, 75 or more horses,
1,000 or more sheep, or 30,000 or more confined poultry with a liquid waste management system, to designate a
properly certified Operator in Charge (OIC). 15A NCAC 8F A201(a)(2) requires the owner of such a system to
designate a new OIC within 30 days of a vacancy of the OIC position.
On July 17, 2001, the Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission received a letter from
Johny Cain stating that he resigned as OIC of your facility effective that day. Please complete and return the
enclosed Operator in Charge designation form to the WPCSOCC, 1618 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, N.C.,
27699-1618 within 30 days from the date of this letter. Failure to designate an Operator in Charge is a violation of
N.C.G.S. 90A-47.2 and 15A NCAC 8F .0201(a) and may result in the assessment of civil penalties.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: Kevin Canady
Location: 7883 Lebanon Church Road
Clarendon NC 28432
Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: Existing Feeder to Finish Swine
Number of Animals: 1000.00 hogs
(Design Capacity)
STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon
APPLICATION METHOD: Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or
groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops
in the fields where the waste is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil
tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be
balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization
plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to
ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply
more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and
available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than
5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land
eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than
10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter
strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining,
or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions
may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWQ regulations.
Page: 1

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production
and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should
be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30
days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If
you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the
same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant
analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied.
Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible
so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific
crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
1000 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 1900 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
1000 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 2300 lbs. PAN/year
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time
and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the
acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land
application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient
rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application
of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 370 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 1850
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 6.16666666667 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 14.8 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application
methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This
rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil
texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount
should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the
time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed
the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure
that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
I. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by
runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or
direct discharge during operation or land application. Any
discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
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.
5. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to
flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled
cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or
grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application
does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather
and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil
infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to
surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from
the site during application. No ponding should occur in order
to control odor or flies..
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such
a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that
would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal
waste should also be considered.
Page: 10

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for
spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for
leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be
held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to
take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more
than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking
dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall
comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area
onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of
a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential
property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other
than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than
swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995),
shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters.
(See Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to
wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of
dwellings other than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property
and public right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters,
drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying.
Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided
they have been approved as a land application site by a
"technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on
grassed waterways that discharges directly 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.
15. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities,
showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the
animal waste management system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be
established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms,
pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to
protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and
other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered.
appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible.
Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence
of erosion, leakage or discharge.
Page: 11

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

Odor Abatement Action Plan
There is a genuine concern of citizens that odors may compromise their health and
quality of life. As a responsible member of the swine production industry we have an
obligation to employ best management practices to ensure that the creation of offensive
odors are minimized.
Effective March 1, 1999, Brown's of Carolina's company and contract operations must
be in compliance with regulations regarding control of offensive odors arising from swine
production operations. Brown's of Carolina is proactively pursuing and evaluating new
and developing technologies and practices which will serve to cost-effectively reduce
offensive odors. In the mean time we have the responsibility to employ best management
practices which control objectionable odors. The purpose of this document is to identify
the primary sources of odors arising from swine production operations and define the best
management practices which can be employed to control sources of these odors.
General farm appearance
Keep the farm and access roads neat and in good condition. This may make your
neighbors more tolerant of occasional unavoidable odors.
Action required:
• Keep grass mowed to less than 6 inches.
• Keep the access roads and areas around the buildings policed of trash and
extraneous items at all tunes.
• Use herbicides to control weeds and grasses around bins and buildings.
Sanitation and cleanliness within swine buildings
Odors can be minimized by preventing the buildup and decay of urine, manure
and dust and by ensuring the efficient operation of waste -handling systems -and
ventilation.
Action required:
• During cleanup between groups ensure that the pit is thoroughly cleaned and
that all organic matter is removed.
• Prevent manure from accumulating in the aisles.
a Wash the aisles in breeding/gestation once a week.
© Scrape behind the sows daily in the farrowing room.
v Scrape aisles daily in nursefies and wash as necessary.
• Keep the aisles izr the finishing buildings free of manure and feed. Scrap
weekly and wash as necessary.
• Clean and disinfect the loading chute and loading area within one hour of
use.
• Pull the plug on each house at a scheduled time every week.

Ventilation
Each of the major carriers of odor - - gases, dust and vapors - - can be controlled,
but only with proper ventilation system management. Good ventilation, helps to
Prevent condensation, dampness and mold, all of which contribute to odor buildup
in swine buildings. It also prevents the buildup of noxious gases formed by the
decomposition of stored manure and improves the air quality for workers and
pigs.
Action re uired:
• Keep the interior of buildings clean.
• Brush dust from fan shutters every week.
• Treat walls and ceilings with "Tempo", a pesticide, to control spiderwebs
between turns and before restocking the building/room.
• Keep floors clean and dry.
• Ensure that all ventilation components are in proper working order and
calibrated, i.e. control system, fans, fan shutters, air inlets, curtains,
photohelics, override thermostats, heaters.
• Ensure manure handling system is in proper working order, i.e. recycle
pumps, recycle limes, pipe valves or fittings, flush tanks (where applicable),
and pit discharge lines.
• Ensure proper pit liquids are maintained, and that pits are emptied and
recharged weekly.
Disposal of dead animals
Decaying carcasses can release offensive odors if they are stored too long for
disposal or pick up or when they are transported.
Action required:
• Remove dead animals and afterbirth everyday,
• Remove dead animals from pens to the house aisles.
• Leave dead animals in house aisles until it is time for the dead run.
• Dead animals destined for rendering must be placed in a container located out
of sight from the public and if possible in the shade.
• ff carcasses are buried, burial pits must conform to North Carolina Statutes.
Pits must be covered immediately after burial.
• If carcasses are incinerated, combustion should be adequate to prevent odors
and air pollution.

Feed management
Feed is a primary source of dust in swine buildings. It is well known that odor
intensifies with increasing dust levels. Many of the compounds associated with
odors become attached to these airborne feed particles.
Action re aired:
• Feed drops should be extended into the feeder to minimize feed free fall and
confine feed dust to within the feeder hopper. The end of the feed drop
should be 14" from the bottom of the feeder.
• Keep feeders in excellent adjustment at all times.
• Feed on the ground or left on the top of feed bins can become a primary
source of odor concern. Also, feed may attract flies, rodents and other
wildlife which are vectors for disease transmission and may destroy buildings
and equipment.
❑ Feed which is spilled during delivery or occurs from opening the
access door to the hopper boot must be removed as soon as it is
discovered.
❑ If the feed is not wet or spoiled then as much as possible should be
recovered and fed to swine.
❑ Feed which is not worthy of recovering should be collected and
dispensed by spreading into an open field not less than 150 feet from
any swine building. This applies to feed originating from the
following events:
- Vacuuming feed
- Performing bin out maintenance
Any feed spilled during feed delivery
❑ Advise feed mill at once of incident so that corrective action can be
taken-
FIx control
Flies are attracted to swine operations because of odors and decomposing swine
waste or dead animals. Flies are a nuisance and serve as a vector for disease
transmission.
Action required:
Successful fly control can be accomplished through implementation of the
following practices:
• Do not allow manure to build up.'
• Immediately remove spilled and spoiled feed from within and around the
building.
• Dispose of dead animals and afterbirth.
• Spray insecticides on a regular basis.

Rodent control
Rodents are a primary disease vector and may cause considerable damage to buildings
and equipment.
Action required:
• Clean up feed spills within and outside of buildings immediately.
• Keep feeders in excellent adjustment.
• Put out rodent bait weekly.
Irrigation
Action required
• Only spray when there is no drift beyond the boundary line.
• Schedule irrigation events for times when neighbors are less likely to be at
home or out in their yards. Avoid irrigating after 5:00 p.m_ or on weekends.
• Use minimum operating pressure as specified by irrigation design to reduce to
possibility of wind drift of fine droplets.
• Ensure that irrigation pump intake is within 2 feet of surface of lagoon_
• Pump at times of day when lowest humidity occurs.
• Monitor each pumping event closely to prevent ponding of irrigated water on
soil surface.
• When prevailing wind is in the direction of the neighbors and an irrigation
event must occur, pump on fields or areas farthest away from neighbors.
• Construct and maintain windbreaks and borders between irrigation fields and
neighbors.
Lagoons
Actions required.
• Keep lagoon dikes mowed and well maintained_
• Check pH of lagoon regularly as signficant changes in pH may indicate a
problem with lagoon treatment efficiency.
• Keep lagoon free of trash and debris.
Cattle operations
Actions required.
• Avoid feeding cattle in concentrated areas for extended periods of time.
• Feed cattle in well drained areas.
• Use hay trailers or other means to keep feeding area neat and dry.
• If a stationary watering device is to be used, a concrete pad should be placed
such that spilled water is contained to prevent ponding and muddy areas.
• Pest control practices should be employed.

Dear Sir:
The original CPO has 10.31 total acres effected. This amount has
been changed, due to set -backs, to 19 acres.
Fifteen acres of this farm is already in coastal bermuda. There
will be four more acres of cropland converted to coastal.
The Pre Soil Loss and Post Soil Loss will remain the same on the 15
acres of coastal already established, which is 9.25 soil loss for the
total 15 acres.
The Pre Soil Loss on the remaining four acres is 13.92 T/Y total.
This will be reduced to a total of .8 T/Y on the four acres. This will
be a reduction of 13.12 T/Y.

Mr. Harold Wells, Columbus Co.
TO: Edward Davis FILE CODE: 210
Columbus Co.
I have reviewed the information sent to me on the subject job and make
the following comments:
1) The irrigation checklist is not an all inclusive question/
answer sheet. It is only a guide for collecting data to be
used in the design of an irrigation system.
2) Show assumptions and computations for:
a. Sizing of mains and laterals
b. Allowable velocity checks
C. Total dynamic head of the system
d. Suction lift
e. Design of pump (motor eff., pump eff.),
operating pressure
f. Acres that will actually receive a uniform
application amount. This will exclude wetted
fringes of the system.
3) What is the distance from the sprinklers along
SR 1006 to the edge of the R-O-W? Show this on
the scale map.
4) What is the distance to the edge of the pond from
the nearest sprinkler? Show this on the scale map.
5) What is the distance from the well to the nearest
sprinkler? Show the well location on the scale map.
Be sure to consider the well at the hog house.
6) Are some of the sprinklers located in woods? Are there
wooded wetlands adjacent to any sprinklers?
7) What is the height of spray trajectory versus height
of the existing powerline? The utility company should
be notified concerning pumping under the line.
8) Furnish material specifications on:
a. Pipe and fittings
b. Joints (gasket)

9) Furnish installation specifications on:
a. Trench construction
b. Placement
C. Location and design of thrust blocks
d. Testing the system
e. Backfilling the trenches
10) Furnish an operation and maintenance plan for the owner
that will guide him/her in proper operation and maintenance
to attain the design objectives.
11) Furnish the original of the final design.
Enclosed is a paper I will be presenting at the 1994 NC Irrigation
Conference that will hopefully lead to properly documented designs and
plans. Please contact me if there are questions concerning my review
comments.

SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE
ANIMAL WASTEWATER LAND APPLICATION SYSTEM PLANS
DEAN K. BINGHAM, P.E.
USDA -SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE
It is indeed a pleasure for me to be here today representing the Soil
Conservation Service at this 1994 NC Irrigation Conference. Many of
us here today have been, and will be, heavily involved in the
planning, design, and installation of land application systems for
animal waste. Each of us should be committed to developing land
application systems that 1) meet the needs of the owner, 2) are
economical, 3) apply waste uniformly (without runoff), and 4) are
environmentally sound. Today I will share with you some of the
components of Soil Conservation Service approved land application
systems. Also, some of you have asked how job approval authority is
delegated within the Soil Conservation Service so I will close with an
explanation of our engineering approval authority system.
The land application system is to be designed to meet the needs of the
waste utilization plan developed for the operator. Waste utilization
plans include but are not limited to:
1. Documentation that the producer either owns or has long term
access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste.
2. Type of waste treatment/holding facility and the storage period
of the facility.

-2-
3. The amount of Nutrients that are estimated to be available for
land application. Nitrogen is generally regarded to be the
controlling nutrient in land application. Phosphorous is the
controlling nutrient in a few locations as dictated by local
ordinances.
4. Location of the land, the available acres, and the types of
soil in the field(s).
S. Planned crops and the Nitrogen (or other limiting nutrient)
needs for realistic yields based on soil type.
6. Restrictions on applying waste such as:
a. Waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface
water. For non -perennial streams, this distance may be
reduced provided adequate vegetative filter strips are
present.
b. Waste shall not be applied to land eroding greater than 5
tons per acre per year.
c. Waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet from water
wells for human consumption.
d. Waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of
dwellings other than those owned by the landuser.
e. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other
property and public right-of-ways.
f. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates that do not exceed
the soil infiltration rate so that runoff does not occur.
The recommended maximum amount to apply per application
must be specified.

-3-
A wastewater land application system plan as a minimum should include
the following components to insure the system can be installed as
planned.
1. A copy of the waste utilization plan with an accompanying
soils map of the field(s).
2. A map to scale showing:
a) Dimensions of the field(s)
b) Slope of the field(s) and direction of slope
c) Location of:
1. Ditches, perennial streams, other bodies
of water and wetland areas.
2. Water wells for human consumption.
3. Dwellings and other restricted areas.
4. Property boundaries.
S. Road or other public right-of-ways.
6. Power lines, transmission lines, and buried
utilities.
7. Location of the waste treatment/holding facility
with respect to field(s) locations.
d) Topography as needed for evaluating the total dynamic
head of the system.
e) Drawing of the system layout showing:
1. Location of mains, laterals, sprinklers or hydrants.
2. The spacing between laterals and sprinklers
or hydrants.
3. Design data such as:
a) Design operating pressure at the sprinkler
or gun.

-4-
b) Sprinkler or gun make, model, and nozzle
size along with manufacturer performance
tables showing discharge and wetted diameter
at the operating pressure. Indicate number
of sprinklers operating.
c) Traveler with hoz,e-:size and length shown or
other irrigation equipment's make and model
number along with specifications and performance
data. Indicate the portion of circle receiving
wastewater for traveling guns. Designate speed
compensators and the rate of travel.
d) Pump make, model number, and engine or motor
horsepower along with specifications and
performance rating curves or charts.
e) Design spacing of laterals, sprinklers or hydrants.
With sprinklers or stationary guns, spacing both in
the lateral line and between lateral lines should
not exceed 60 percent of the effective wetted
diameter based on manufacturer's literature. With
traveling guns, hydrant spacing is recommended to
to be seventy(70) to eighty(80) percent of the
effective wetted diameter. These spacings should
result in the wastewater being applied in a
reasonably uniform manner under normal conditions.
The owner should be informed that animal wastewater
should not be applied during windy conditions. Wind
blowing at 5 miles per hour or greater is considered
windy conditions.

-5-
f) Required size of pipelines for mains and laterals.
Show hydraulic computations accounting for friction
head losses. Designate the type of pipe to be used
and the required depth of cover. Show method of
crossing channels with pipelines.
g) Compute the application rate (inches/hour) based
on lateral and sprinkler or gun spacing and compare
with the estimated soil infiltration rates from
available irrigation guides. Show all computations.
h) Compute the area in acres of the land application
system that will receive uniform applications of
wastewater. Restricted buffer areas and those areas
along the fringes of the system that do not receive
uniform application amounts will not be included as
irrigated acres.
4. Furnish material specifications covering:
a) Size, type, and class of pipe.
b) Fittings and coupler requirements.
c) Solvent cement joints.
d) Rubber gasket joints.
e) Sprinklers or guns.
f) Pump and power unit.
5. Furnish installation specifications covering:
a) Trench construction.
b) Placement of pipeline.

-6-
c) Instructions for connecting pipe and
installing fittings.
d) Thrust blocks.
e) Testing.
f) Backfilling..
6. Furnish an operation and maintenance plan to
the owner for his/her use in operating the system
in a manner that will attain the design objectives
and purposes and guide the owner in maintaining
the equipment in a good operating condition.
Poorly planned land application systems can result in:
1. A discharge of animal waste to receiving waters.
2. Non -uniform distribution of the nutrients in the waste water.
3. Violations when irrigating restricted areas.
4. Possible ground water contamination.
5. Plans that do not meet the total needs for the operation.
6. The owner being required to retrofit or modify an improperly
designed or installed system at significant expense to bring
it up to required standards.
7. Systems which do not comply with the rules, regulations, and
requirements of the state of North Carolina.
S. Systems which result in the owner/operator being cited, fined,
and/or required to reduce the size of the operation or suspend
the operation.
9. Excessive operation and maintenance costs.
Well planned systems must involve coordination between
the planners, designers, and installers with diligent
follow-up after installation.

SOLVENT CEMENT JOINING OF PLASTIC PIPE
.....WHAT EVERY USER SHOULD KNOW
IS SOLVENT CEMENT? It is a complex mixture of solvents and dispersed resfrts with various addition's (depending upon the particular solvent cement application) _
DOES A SOLVENT CEMENT WORK? The solvents penetrate the plastic surface and cause lire plastic to sm..11. T he smiling continues until the gaps betmen
7e and fitting walls are closed and pressing against each other.
PLASTICS CAN BE SOLVENT CEMENTED? PVC (Polyvinyl chioNe), CM (chlorinated polyvinyl chloride), ABS (Acetyi)nitdle-Butadiene-Styrene), pttlycar-
jPC or Lmn) styrene, Gelo'y and other plastic materials.
PLASTICS CANNOT BE SOLVENT CEMENTED? Polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutytane, nylon and other engineering plastics (usually polyolefins).
ABOUT USING SOLVENT CEMENT WHEN A JOINT IS WET? All solvent cements have the ability to absorb some water and still perform well enough
-d an adequate joint. However, our research shows that the presence of 10% water in solvent cement can slow the penetration and swelling rate by up
-6. This joint with water inside wail atways be an inferior joint and subject to problems.
IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PIPE CLEANER AND PIPE PRIMER? A pipe cleaner is a mixture of solvents used to clean any dirt or foreign materials
surface of the pipe which could prevent the penetration of the cement Into the pipe surface. The cleaner must bit wiped off with a clean rag immediately
tier is a mixture of solvents used to penetrate the pipe and fitting and start the swelling process ahead of the applicitlon of the solvent cement_ it is not
off. The soK nt cement is applied on fop of the primer immediately while wet.
IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SET AND CURE TIMES? Set time is that Initial period of swelling required to give the joint enough mechanical strength
earthy handled. Cure time is the total time period of required smiling for the John to acquire enough strength that it can perform its job transporting materials
$i It (at whatever pntssure and temperature required) without coming apart or lealdng.

In cranberry bogs where the pipe is not susceptible to
heeznV and heavy equipment is never allowed. the mini-
mum depth at cover may be 6 in for a 6-in diameter pipe
and 12 in for a larger pipe.
The minimum cover for pollyethyfene pipe is 6 in but may
be reduced to 2 in where conditions wanwiL The minimum
cower for PVC pipe in cranberry bogs, where the pipe is to
be protected from freezing after winter flooding, shall be 12
in, if the winter flood equals or exceeds 12 in. Where the
winter flood is less than 12 in, the top of the pipe shall be
at least 24 in below the water surface. vent -welded joints
shall be used at all connections of PVC pipe where peat
and muck extst in their normsll laysrsd pattern. Rubber
gasket jousts may be used following normal bedding proce-
dures where coarse sand or comerit layers exist.
At low piaces an the ground surface, extra fill may be
placed over the pipeline to provide the minimum depths of
cover. The top width of the fill shall then be no less than 10
ft and the side slopes no steeper than 6:1. 0 extra protec-
tion is needed at vehicle dings, encasement pipe or
other approved methods may be used.
Trench construction. The trench at any point below
the top of the pipe shall be only wide enough to permit
the pipe to be easily ,placed and joined and to allow the
initial backfill material to be uniformly placed under the
haunches and along the side of the pipe. The maximum
trench width shall be 36 in greater than the diarTteter of
the pipe- If the trench is precision excavated and has a
semicircular bottom that closely tits the pipe, the width
strati not exceed the outside diasrieter of the pipe by
more that 10 percent.
The trench bottom small be uniform so that the pipe lies
on the bottom without bridging_ t k4s. rods. and uneven
spots that Can damage the pipe or cause nonuniform sup-
port shall be removed.
If rocks, boulders, or any other material that can damage
the pipe are encountered, the trench bottom shall be under-
cut a minimum of 4 in below final grade and filled with bed-
ding material consisting of sand or compacted fine-grained
soils.
Pipelines having a diameter of 'h through 21h in that are
to be placed in areas not subject to vehicular loads and in
soils that do not Crack appoecaabty when dry may be placed
by using "plowmin" equipment instead of conventional
trenching.
Provisions shall be made to insure sate working condi-
tions where unstable soil, trench depth. or other conditions
can be hazardous to personnel working in the trench.
Plscenwrit. Care shall be taken to prevent permanent dis-
tortion and damage when handling the pipe during unusu-
ally warm or cold weather. The pipe shall be allowed to
come within a few degrees at the temperature it will have
after it is completely covered before placing the backfill,.
other than that needed for shading, or before connecting
the pipe to other facilities. The pipe shall be uniformly and
continuousty supported over its entire length on firm stable
material. Blocking or mounding shall not be used to bring
the pipe to final grade.
For pipe with bell joints, bell hales shall be excavated in
the bedding material, as needed, to allow for unobstructed
assembly of the joint and to permit the body of the pipe to
be in contact with the bedding material throughout its
length.
Joints and connections. All joints and connections shall
be designed and constructed to withstand the design maxi-
mum working pressure for the pipeline without leakage and
to leave the inside of the line free of arty obstruction that
may tend to reduce its capacity below design requirements.
All fittings, such as couplings, reducers, bends, tees, and
crosses, shall be installed according to the recommenda-
tions of the pipe manufacturer.
Fittings made of steel or other metals susceptible to cor-
rosion shall be adequately protected by being wrapped with
plastic tape or by being coated with a substance that has
high corrosion -preventative qualities. it plastic tape is used.
all surfaces shall be thoroughly cleaned and coated with a
primer compatible with the tape before wrapping.
Thrust blocks. Thrust blocks must be formed against a
solid hand-excr aced trench wall undamaged by mechani-
cal equipment. They shall be constructed of concrete, and
the space between the pipe and trench wall shall be filled
to the height of the outside diameter of the pipe or as spec-
ified by the manufacturer
Testlr►g. The pipeline shall be tested for pressure strength,
leakage. and proper functioning. The tests may be per-
formed before backfilling or anytime after the pipeline is
ready for service.

Tests for pressure strength and leaks shall be accom-
plished by inspecting the pipeline and appurtenances while
Me maxsmum working pressure is maintained and aft joints
and connections are uncovered. or by observing normal
operation of the pipeftne attar it is put into service. Parual
backfills needed to hold the pipe in place during tesring
shall be placed as specified in "Initial 8ackfilt-" Any leaks
shall be repaired and the system retested -
The pipeline shall be tested to insure that it functions
property at design capacity. At or below design capacity
there shall be no objectionable flow conditions. Objectiona-
ble flow conditions shall include water hammer, continuing
unsteady delivery of water, damage to the pipeline. or detri-
mental discharge from control valves.
Initial backfifl. Hand. mechanical. or water packing meth-
ods may be used. , -
The initial backfill material shall be soil or sand that is
free from rocks or stones larger than 1 in. in diameter. At
the time of placement, the moisture content of the material
shall be such that the required degree of compaction can
be obtained with the backfill method to be used- The initial
backfill material shall be placed so that the pipe will not be
displaced, excessively deformed, or damaged.
If backfilling is done by hand or mechanical means. the
initial fill shall be compacted firmly around and above the
pipe as required to provide adequate lateral support to the
pipe,
If the water packing method is used, the pipeline first
shall be filled with water. The initial backfill before wetting
shall be of sufficient depth to insure complete coverage of
the pipe attar consolidation. Water packing is accomplished
by adding enough water to diked reaches of the trench to
thoroughly saturate the initial backfill without excessive
pooling. Attar the backtill is saturated, the pipeline shall
remain full until after the final backfill is made. The wetted
fill shall be allowed to dry until firm before beginning the
final backfill.
Flnal back -fill. The final backtill material shall be free of
large rocks, frozen clods. and other debris greater than 3
in. in diameter. The material shall be placed and spread in
approximately uniform layers so that there will be no
untitled spaces in the backfill and the backfill will be level
with the natural ground or at the design grade required to
provide the minimum depth of cover attar settlement. Roll-
ing equipment shall not be used to consolidate the final
backfill until the specified minimum depth of cover has
been placed.
All special backfilling requirements of the pipe manufac-
turer shall be met.
S"s of acceptance. The acceptability at the pipeline
shall be determined by inspections to check compliance
with all the provisions of this standard with respect to the
design of the line, the pipe and pipe marking, the appurte-
nancas, and the minimum installation requirements.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 24-27
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. IRR1, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRYS, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the

Dear Mr. Shiver,
This letter is in response to the Notice of Deficiency received for the Harold Wells Farm
which I lease and operate. As discussed with the DWQ inspector, I began leasing this farm less
than three months ago. At the time the lease began, the lagoon was high and considerable work
was necessary to make the irrigation system operate properly. The system has been operational
now for approximately four weeks and a lagoon marker was installed just two weeks ago.
Although irrigation had started on the winter crop, the lagoon freeboard was still a little less than
the required nineteen inches when the inspector was on site. Since then, irrigation has brought the
lagoon approximately two inches below the maximum level. Irrigation will continue at the rates
specified in the approved waste management plan to maintain the lagoon level within state
regulations. If you have further questions, please contact me at [phone].
Sincerely,
Warren Miller

This letter is on Lrr ehalf in response to the Second Notice of Deficiency
received for the leased Wells Farm. The lagoon level at the time of the first inspection was two
inches less than the required 19 inch freeboard. Warren had been irrigating in an appropriate
manner taking advantage of every available opportunity since he repaired the irrigation system
which was inoperable when he began leasing the farm_ As stated in the response letter, the lagoon
level was properly lowered to an acceptable level shortly after the first inspection. However,
rainfall events between the two inspections amounted to greater than 12 inches, and the lagoon
freeboard at the time of the last inspection was again two to three inches less than required. Since
the last inspection, the lagoon level has been lowered through proper irrigation to a 23 inch
freeboard as of February 3. The lagoon level will be closely monitored and irrigation will
continue at every opportunity to maintain the required freeboard. if you have any questions,
please call me at [phone] or Warren at [phone].

Dear Mr. Miller:
On January 15, 1998, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality performed a follow up inspection on your animal operation. During the inspection, it
was observed that your lagoon once again had less than 19 inches of available freeboard.
While no discharge of waste was observed to waters of the State at the time of inspection, any
rainfall event could likely result in the discharge of waste from the lagoon. The level of your
lagoon should be lowered and maintained in accordance with the NRCS guidelines and the
state 2H .0200 rules governing animal waste management systems.
USDA,-NRCS guidelines require a minimum of one foot and seven inches of freeboard.
This is based on the amount of storage space needed to contain a 25-year, 24 hour design
storm event without a discharge. NRCS requirements also specify that animal waste small be
applied on actively growing crops and that waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter
for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading
rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to
take up released nutrients.

To remain a deemed permitted facility, you must notify this office in writing within
fourteen (14) days of the receipt of this notice, what actions have been taken to correct this
deficiency. Failure to do so may result in the facility losing its deemed permitted status,
requiring it to obtain an individual non discharge permit.
Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes to discharge waste
water to the surface waters of the State without a permit. The Division of Water Quality has
the authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $10,000 per day per violation.

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

the walls of his lagoons after a 1/15/98 follow up inspection at the Stateline facility. Mr.
Stocks was given fourteen (14) days to notify us what actions he is taking to fix these
problems. Although no specific time limit was given for completing this work, Mr. Stocks
should have a winter cover established on the lagoon walls as soon as possible to prevent
further erosion problems. In addition, Mr. Stocks had insufficient freeboard in both lagoons
during this inspection. Mr. Stocks was given fourteen (14) days to correct his freeboard
problems. Our records indicate this Notice was received on 1/22/98. Thus, Mr. Stocks
should have his freeboard problems corrected by 2/5/98.
Darrell Stocks (24-6) was sent a Notice of Deficiency for insufficient freeboard after a 1/15/98
follow up inspection of the Darrell Stocks Farm. Mr. Stocks was given fourteen (14) days to
correct this deficiency. Our records indicate this Notice was received on 1/22/98. Thus, Mr.
Stocks should have his freeboard problems corrected by 2/5/98.

Dear Mr. Wells:
This is to inform you that your completed registration form required by the recently
modified nondischarge rule has been received by the Division of Environmental Management
(DEM), Water Quality Section.
On December 10, 1992 the Environmental Management Commission adopted a water
quality rule which governs animal waste management systems. The goal of the rule is for animal
operations to be managed such that animal waste is not discharged to surface waters of the state.
The rule allows animal waste systems to be "deemed permitted" if certain minimum criteria are
met (15A-NCAC 2H .0217). By submitting this registration you have met one of the criteria for
being deemed permitted.
We would like to remind you that existing feedlots which meet the size thresholds listed
in the rule, and any new or expanded feedlots constructed between February 1, 1993 and
December 31, 1993 must submit a signed certification form (copy enclosed) to DEM by
December 31. 1997, New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31, 1993 must
obtain signed certification before animals are stogkCd 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].
Sincerely,
I)

Rodent control
Rodents are a primary disease vector and may cause considerable damage to buildings
and equipment.
Action required:
• Clean up feed spills within and outside of buildings immediately.
• Keep feeders in excellent adjustment.
• Put out rodent bait weekly.
_Irrigation
Action required
• Only spray when there is no drift beyond the boundary line.
• Schedule irrigation events for times when neighbors are less likely to be at
home or out in their yards. Avoid irrigating after 5.00 p.m. or on weekends.
• Use minimum operating pressure as specified by irrigation design to reduce to
possibility of wind drift of fine droplets.
• Ensure that irrigation pump intake is within 2 feet of surface of lagoon.
• Pump at times of day when lowest humidity occurs.
• Monitor each pumping event closely to prevent ponding of irrigated water on
soil surface.
• When prevailing wind is in the direction of the neighbors and an irrigation
event must occur, pump on fields or areas farthest away from neighbors.
• Construct and maintain windbreaks and borders between irrigation fields and
neighbors.
Lagoons
Actions required.
• Keep lagoon dikes mowed and well maintained.
• Check pH of lagoon regularly as signficant changes in pH may indicate a
problem with lagoon treatment efficiency.
• Keep lagoon free of trash and debris.
Cattle operations
Actions required.
• Avoid feeding cattle in concentrated areas for extended periods of time.
• Feed cattle in well drained areas.
• Use hay trailers or other means to keep feeding area neat and dry.
• If a stationary watering device is to be used, a concrete pad should be placed
such that spilled water is contained to prevent ponding and muddy areas.
• Pest control practices should be employed_

Feed management
Feed is a primary source of du9t in swine buildings. It is well known that odor
intensifies with increasing dust levels. Many of the compounds associated with
odors become attached to these airborne feed particles.
Action required:
• Feed drops should be extended into the feeder to minimize feed free fall and
confine feed dust to within the feeder hopper. The end of the feed drop
should be 14" from the bottom of the feeder.
• Keep feeders in excellent adjustment at all times.
• Feed on the ground or left on the top of feed bins can become a primary
source of odor concern. Also, feed may attract flies, rodents and other
wildlife which are vectors for disease transmission and may destroy buildings
and equipment.
a Feed which is spilled during delivery or occurs from opening the
access door to the hopper boot must be removed as soon as it is
discovered.
❑ If the feed is not wet or spoiled then as much as possible should be
recovered and fed to swine.
❑ Feed which is not worthy of recovering should be collected and
dispensed by spreading into an open field not less than 150 feet from
any swine building. This applies to feed originating from the
following events-
- Vacuuming feed
- Performing bin out maintenance
- Any feed spilled during feed delivery
❑ Advise feed mill at once of incident so that corrective action can be
taken.
Fly control
Flies are attracted to swine operations because of odors and decomposing swine
waste or dead animals. Flies are a nuisance and serve as a vector for disease
transmission.
Action required:
Successful fly control can be accomplished through implementation of the
following practices:
• Do not allow manure to build up.
• Immediately remove spilled and spoiled feed from within and around the
building,.
• Dispose of dead animals and afterbirth.
• Spray insecticides on a regular basis.

Ventilation
Each of the major carriers of odor - - gases, dust and vapors - - can be controlled,
but only with proper ventilation system management. Good ventilation helps to
prevent condensation, dampness and mold, aN of which contribute to odor buildup
in swine buildings. It also prevents the buildup of noxious gases formed by the
decomposition of stored manure and improves the air quali
pigs ty for workers and
Action re wired:
• Keep the interior of buildings clean.
• Brush dust from fan shutters every week.
• Treat walls and ceilings with "Tempo", a pesticide, to control spiderwebs
between turns and before restocking the building/roorn_
• Keep floors clean and dry.
• Ensure that all ventilation components are in proper working order and
calibrated, i.e. control system, fans, fan shutters, air inlets, curtains,
photohelics, override thermostats_ heaters.
• Ensure manure handling system i3 in proper working order, i.e. recycle
pumps, recycle lines, pipe valves or fittings, flush tanks (where applicable),
and pit discharge lines_
• Ensure proper pit liquids are maintained, and that pits are emptied and
recharged weekly.
Disposal of dead animals
Decaying carcasses can release offensive odors if they are stored too long for
disposal or pick up or when they are transported.
Action required;
• Remove dead animals and afterbirth every day.
• Remove dead animals from pens to the house aisles.
• Leave dead animals in house aisles until it is time for the dead run_
• Dead animals destined for rendering must be placed in a container located out
of sight from the public and if possible in the shade.
• If carcasses are buried, burial pits must conform to North Carolina Statutes.
Pits must be covered immediately after burial.
• If carcasses are incinerated, combustion should be adequate to prevent odors
and air pollution.

Odor Abatement action Plan
There is a genuine concern of citizens that odors may compromise their health and
quality of life. As a responsible member of the swine production industry we have an
obligation to employ best management practices to ensure that the creation of offensive
odors are minimized.
Effective March 1, 1999, Brown's of Carolina's company and contract operations must
be in compliance with regulations regarding control of offensive odors arising from swine
production operations. Brown's of Carolina is proactively pursuing and evaluating new
and developing technologies and practices which will serve to cost-effectively reduce
offensive odors. In the mean time we have the responsibility to employ best management
practices which control objectionable odors. The purpose of this document is to identify
the primary sources of odors arising from swine production operations and define the best
management practices which can be employed to control sources of these odors.
General farm angearance
Keep the farm and access roads neat and in good condition. This may make your
neighbors more tolerant of occasional unavoidable odors.
Action required:
Keep grass mowed to less than 6 inches.
• Keep the access roads and areas around the buildings policed of trash and
extraneous items at all times.
« Use herbicides to control weeds and grasses around bins and buildings.
Sanitation and cleanliness within swine buildings
Odors can be minimized by preventing the buildup and decay of urine, manure
and dust and by ensuring the efficient operation of waste -handling systems and
ventilation.
Action required:
• During cleanup between groups ensure that the pit is thoroughly cleaned and
that all organic matter is removed.
• Prevent manure from accumulating in the aisles.
© Wash the aisles in breeding/gestadon once a week.
o Scrape behind the sows daily in the farrowing room.
o Scrape aisles daily in nurseries and wash as necessary.
n Keep the aisles in the finishing buildings free of manure and feed. Scrap
weekly and wash as necessary.
a Clean and disinfect the loading chute and loading area within one hour of
use.
• Pull the plug on each house at a scheduled time every week.

Ventilation
Each of the major carriers of odor - -gases, dust and vapors - - can be controlled,
but only with proper ventilation system management. Good ventilation helps to
prevent condensation, dampness and mold, all of which contribute to odor buildup
in swine buildings. It also prevents the buildup of noxious gases formed by the
decomposition of stored manure and improves the air quality for workers and
pigs.
Action re aired:
• Keep the interior of buildings clean.
• Brush dust from fan shutters every week_
• Treat walls and ceilings with "Tempo", a pesticide, to control spider -webs
between turns and before restocking the building/room.
• beep floors clean and dry.
• Ensure that all ventilation components are in proper working order and
calibrated, i.e. control system, fans, fan shutters, air inlets, curtains,
photohelics, override thermostats_ heaters.
• Ensure manure handling system is in proper working order, i.e. recycle
pumps, recycle lines, pipe valves or fittings, flush tanks (where applicable),
and pit discharge lines.
• Ensure proper pit liquids are malmained, and that pits are emptied and
recharged weekly.
Disposal of dead animals
Decaying carcasses can release offensive odors if they are stored too long for
disposal or pick up or when they are transported.
Action re uired:
• Remove dead animals and afterbirth every day.
• Remove dead animals from pens to the house aisles.
• Leave dead animals in house aisles until it is time for the dead run.
• Dead animals destined for rendering must be placed in a container located out
of sight from the public and if possible in the shade.
• If carcasses are buried, burial pits must conform to North Carolina Statutes.
Pits trust be covered immediately after burial.
• If carcasses are incinerated, combustion should be adequate to prevent odors
and air pollution.

Feed rnana ement
Feed is a primary source of dust in swine buildings. It is well known that odor
intensifies with increasing dust levels. Many of the compounds associated with
odors become attached to these airborne feed particles.
Action required:
• Feed drops should be extended into the feeder to minimize feed free fall and
confine feed dust to within the feeder hopper. The end of the feed drop
should be 1 mil" from the bottom of the feeder.
• Keep feeders in excellent adjustment at all times.
• Feed on the ground or left on the top of feed bins can become a primary
source of odor concern. Also, feed may attract flies, rodents and other
wildlife which are vectors for disease transmission and may destroy buildings
and equipment.
❑ Feed which is spilled during delivery or occurs from opening the
access door to the hopper boot must be removed as soon as it is
discovered_
❑ If the feed is not wet or spoiled then as much as possible should be
recovered and fed to swine.
❑ Feed which is not worthy of recovering should be collected and
dispensed by spreading into an open field not less than 150 feet from
any swine building. This applies to feed originating from the
following events:
- Vacuuming feed
Performing bin out maintenance
Any feed spilled during feed delivery
❑ Advise feed mill at once of incident so that corrective action can be
taken.
Fly control
Flies are attracted to swine operations because of odors and decomposing swine
waste or dead animals. Flies are a nuisance and serve as a vector for disease
transmission.
Action required:
Successful fly control can be accomplished through implementation of the
following practices:
• Do not allow manure to build up.
• Immediately remove spilled and spoiled feed from within and around the
building.
• Dispose of dead animals and afterbirth.
• Spray insecticides on a regular basis.

Rodent control
Rodents are a primary disease vector and may cause considerable damage to buildings
and equipment.
Action required:
• Clean up feed spills within and outside of buildings immediately.
• Keep feeders in excellent adjustment_
• Put out rodent bait weekly-
Irri ation `
Action required
• Only spray when there is no drift beyond the boundary line.
• Schedule irrigation events for times when neighbors are less likely to be at
home or out in their yards. Avoid irrigating after 5.00 p.m. or on weekends.
• Use minimum operating pressure as specified by irrigation design to reduce to
possibility of wind drift of fine droplets_
• Ensure that irrigation pump intake is within 2 feet of surface of lagoon.
• Pump at times of day when lowest humidity occurs.
• Monitor each pumping event closely to prevent ponding of irrigated water on
soil surface.
• When prevailing wind is in the direction of the neighbors and an irrigation
event roust occuCr, pump on fields or areas farthest away from neighbors.
• Construct and maintain windbreaks and borders between irrigation fields and
neighbors.
Lagoons
Actions re uired.
• Keep lagoon dikes mowed and well maintained.
• Check PIS of lagoon regularly as signficant changes in pH may indicate a
problem with lagoon treatment efficiency.
• Keep lagoon free of trash and debris.
Cattle operations
Actions required.
• Avoid feeding cattle in concentrated areas for extended periods of time.
• Feed cattle in well drained areas.
• Use hay trailers or other means to keep feeding area neat and dry.
• If a stationary watering device is to be used, a concrete pad should be placed
such that spilled water is contained to prevent ponding and muddy areas.
• Pest control practices should be:employed.

exceed the level that provides adequate storage, to contain the 25-year, 24-hour storni
event plus an additional l foot of structural freeboard. In addition to hire above
requirements, for new and expanding fa= with lagoon designs completed after
September 1, 1996, storage must also be provided for the heavy rainfall factor for lagoons
without an outside drainage area.
In the case of lacoons/storage ponds in series that are gravity fed, the 25-year. 24-hour
stot-rri event and/or the heavy ufinfall factor storage requirements for the- system may be
designed into the lowest lagoon/storage pond in the system_ However, adequate
freeboard must be designed into each of the upper lagoons/storage ponds to allow
sufficient storage to prevent the waste level from raising into the structural freeboard
while the storm water is draining into the lowest lagoon in the system.

4_ Should Lhe DWQ have good reason to believe that any activities conducted pursuant to
this perrnit may cause or contribute any waste, directly or indirectly, to be intermixed
with the waters of the State, the DWQ may require any monitoring (including but not
limited to groundwater, surface water, animal waste, sludge, soil and plant tissue)
necessary to determine the source, quantity, quality, and effect of such waste upon the
waters of the State. Such monitoring, including its scope, frequency, duration and any
sampling, testing, and reporting systems, shall meet all applicable Environmental
Management Commission requirements. "Good Reason" may be based on the findings of
a related Federal, State, Commission or DENR authorized study or report, or other
evidence showing that violations of State water quality standards or other applicable
environmental standards have occurred,or may occur.
5. Failure to abide by the conditions and Urnitations contained in this permit, the facility's
CAWMP and/or any COC issued under this permit may subject the Permittee to as
enforcement action by the DWQ is accordance with North Carolina General Statutes and
may include the requirement to obtain an individual non -discharge permit and/or the
modification of the animal waste management system
6. The issuance of a COC under this permit does not excuse the Permittee from the
obligation to comply with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances (local,
state, and federal).
i
I. If animal production ceases, the Permittee shall close the lagoons/storage ponds In
accordance with Natural Resource Conservation Service (MRCS) lagoon/storage pond
closure standards or develop and implement an animal waste management plan in
accordance with NRCS standards. Closure shall also include notifying the DWQ and
submittal of the Animal Waste Storage Pond and Lagoon Closure Report Form to DWQ-
Water Quality Section- Non -Discharge Branch within 15 days of completion of closure.
8. The annual peruzit fee shall be paid by the Pennittee within thirty (3Q) days after being
billed by the Division. Failure to pay the fee accordingly constitutes grounds for
revocation of the COC granting coverage under this General Permit.
q. Failure of the Permittee to maintain, in full force and effect, lessee and landowner
agreements which are required in the CAWMP, shal] constitute grounds for revocations of
the COC granting coverage under this Genera] Permit.

Dear Harold Wells:
On April 28, 2003, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the
Division of Water Quality (Division) to extend the expiration date of the Swine Waste Operation General
Permit AWG100000. Therefore, the General Permit has been reissued by the Division to extend the
expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with
all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit.
In accordance with your application received on March 7, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of
Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Harold
Wells, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Permit AWGIOOOOO. The issuance of this COC
supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS240027 which expired on April 30, 2003.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Wells Farm, located in Columbus County, with an animal capacity of no greater
than an annual average of 1000 Feeder to Finish swine and the application to land as specified in the
facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to
Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary, they may
be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4
gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 1, 2004. Pursuant to this COC, you
are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this
facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and
this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property. X�

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the numberofacres of
cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced, The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be gown, their nutrient requirements,
and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or
other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field
in order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. 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.
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 maximurn 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 appl ication 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 kreatmentand 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. Sin(e
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 b-,
used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields wit'1
high amounts ofcopper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. an 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.
