Donald Ward Hog Farm
Animal Waste Management System
Columbus County
Dear Donald R Ward:
In accordance with your application received on 22-Jan-07, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Donald R Ward, 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 Donald Ward Hog Farm, located in Columbus County, with an animal capacity of
no greater than the following swine annual averages:
Wean to Finish: 0 Feeder to Finish: 0 Boar/Stud: 0
Wean to Feeder: 0 Farrow to Wean: 0 Gilts: 0
Farrow to Finish: 500 Farrow to Feeder: 0
If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows.
Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows
may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009 and replaces the NPDES
COC issued to this facility with an expiration date of July 1, 2007. You are required to continue
conducting annual surveys of sludge accumulation in all lagoons at your facility; the one-year extension
in Condition M.19 does not apply.
Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the
conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An
adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information
must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design
capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a
modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either
wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is
a package containing the new and revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay
careful attention to the record keeping and monitoriniz conditions in this permit.

If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site -specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under-tl is` permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.
Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking
of the facility. ,
Per 15A NCAC 02T .01 I I (c) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100-foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any wetted afea of a
spray field.
Per 15A NCAC 02T .1306, any containment basin, such as a lagoon or waste storage structure, shall
continue to be subject to the conditions and requirements of the facility's permit until closed to NRCS
standards and the permit is rescinded by the Division.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief.
If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after the expiration date of the
General Permit, an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration.
This COC is not automatically transferable. A name/ownership change application must be submitted to
the Division prior to a name change or change in ownership.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to
apply for an individual permit by contacting the staff member listed below for information on this
process. Unless such a request is.made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding.
This facility is located in a county covered by our Wilmington Regional Office. The Regional Office
Aquifer Protection staff may be reached at 910-395-3900. If you need additional information concerning

Donald Ward Hog Farm
Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Columbus County
Dear Mr. Ward:
In accordance with your application received on September 29, 2004 we are hereby forwarding to you
this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Donald Ward, authorizing the operation of the subject
animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with NPDES
General Permit NCA200000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Donald Ward Hog Farm, located in Columbus County, with an animal capacity
of no greater than an annual average of 500 Farrow 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 July 1, 2007 and shall hereby void Certificate
of Coverage Number AWS240043 dated May 1, 2003, 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 General Permit. Since this is a new joint State and
Federal general permit it contains many new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained
in the current State general permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and
revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay careful attention to the record keeping
and monitoring conditions in this hermit. The Animal Facility Annual Certification Form must be
completed and returned to the Division of Water Quality by no later than March 1 st of each Year.
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.

Mr. Donald Ward,

NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT of
ENVIRONMENT AND NArLm,.,L FZESOURCES
On Wednesday, 3/28/01 I visited your swine facility (2443) in Columbus County. This visit
was to conduct the mandatory Operation Reveiw required by the State of North Carolina.
Upon inspection of lagoon #2, it was determined the gauge pole was incorrect. At that time,
the District Soil & Water office was notified and asked to check this lagoon behind me to ensure
the hand level readings were correct. This was done and the gauge pole was incorrect.
At the time when the District Staff (Edward Davis) found the pole was incorrect, we then
consulted the District Conservationst (Donna Register) to implement a Plan of Action to correct
the problem. Ms. Register contacted one of the NRCS Engineers to help with this situation.
It was determined at that time to check the soils in the exsisting dike by soil borings. This is
being conducted on Friday (3/30/01) by the District staff and the local Soil Scientist. If all goes
well with the soil investigation then the sod can be stripped off, then stock piled for the cover.
Loosen existing clay core and then add the necessary amount of clay to bring the dike wall up to
the elevation needed to correct the gauge pole.The District Staff and/or myself will monitor the
progress of this process.
I want to thank you for your understanding and willingness to correct this situation as quickly
as possible.
Sincerly,
John College

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 Iiquid 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 afield.

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.

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.

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 he 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).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
355099 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 6/23/03 Specification Page I

7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration
rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a
method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No
ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall
events, or when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner
that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit
growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be
considered.
10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring
planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient
loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable
winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not
be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages
breaking dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1,1995 shall comply with
the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is
applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least
50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste,
other than swine -waste from facilities sited on or after October 1,1995,
shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other
than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and
public right-of-ways.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
355099 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 6/23/03 Specification Pap-e 2

15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways,
or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be
applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been
approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal
waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly
into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be
applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift
from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets,
sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management
system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all
disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas
shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as
trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where
considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and
accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for
evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the
owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan"
which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and
ero sion.
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.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
355099 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 6/23/03 Specification Page 3

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.

Alan W. Klimek, P. E., Director
Division of Water Quality
Subject: Application for National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit
Facility Number 24 - 43
Dear Donald Ward:
The Division of Water Quality (Division) has been required by the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) to develop a NPDES permit program for animal waste management systems. The
Division has developed a general NPDES permit similar to the state Non -Discharge General Permit that
this facility is currently permitted under. Coverage under the General NPDES permit will be required by
all facilities that are at, or above, the federal threshold numbers of animals listed below, as well as any
facilities that have had a discharge to waters of the state since January 1, 2001.
Federal Threshold Animal Numbers:
2500 Swine greater than 55 pounds in weight
10,000 Swine less than 55 pounds in weight
700 Mature (milking cows or any cows that have calved) Dairy Cattle
1000 Beef Cattle in confinement
30,000 Poultry with a liquid waste management system
55,000 Turkeys
125,000 Chickens other than a liquid waste management system
82,000 Laying Hens other than a liquid waste management system
According to our records this facility meets the federal threshold for a NPDES permit. If you are
currently operating at a population above the threshold numbers please sign and submit the enclosed
NPDES Short Form B — Existing Facility. Please carefully follow the instructions on the form.
If you are currently operating this facility at a population below the federal threshold you may choose to
submit the enclosed "NPDES Short Form B — Existing Facility" for the design capacity of the system as
it is currently permitted. You may also choose to request a new Certificate of Coverage under the State
Non -Discharge Permit at a population below the federal threshold. Should you choose this option,
please submit the enclosed "Request for Modification to Existing Certificate of Coverage for State Non -
Discharge Permit" application and updated WUP reflecting the population change. Please note that if
you are issued a modified Certificate of Coverage for a lesser population, any future increases in
population would require a new permit from the Division prior to increasing the animal population.

Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Columbus,County
Dear Donald Ward:
On April 28, 2003, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the -
Division of Water Quality (Division) to extend the expiration date of the Swine Waste Operation General
Permit AWG100000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the
expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with
all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit.
In accordance with your application received on March 4, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of
Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Donald
Ward, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The issuance of this COC
supersedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS240043 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 Donald Ward Hog Farm, located in Columbus County, with an animal capacity
of no greater than an annual average of 500 Farrow 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. V*�

Your animal waste utilization plan has been specifically
developed for your swine operation. The plan is based on the
soil types, crops to be grown, and method of application for
your particular operation. The waste must be land applied at a
r specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or ground
j water. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to
�- reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops
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 and annual soil tests
are 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. 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.
Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates and leaching potential. Waste shall not be applied to
land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. Do not
apply waste on saturated soils or on land when the surface is
frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to
surface waters. Wind conditions should also be considered to
avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value
of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential
for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or
not more than 30 days prior to planting. Soil incorporation
of waste will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.

The acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical
' nutrient content for this type of facility. Annual acreage
requirements may be more or less based on the waste analysis
report for your waste management facility.

REVISION TO WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN FOR DONALD WARD'S OPERATION
This operations waste utilization plan was written for 400 Sows Farrow to
Finish in July of 1995. This animal unit figure was incorrect at the time
of the writing, it should have been 500 Sows Farrow to Finish.
The amount of animal waste produced is 9950 tons/year.
The amount of plant available N produced by animals is 13000 lbs./year.
Commercial N to apply on planned acreage is 0 lbs./year.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
----------------------
Owners name--:DONALD WARD County:COLUMBUS
Mail Address-:RT. 2, BOX 221B WHITEVILLE, NC 28472
Type of production unit----:FAR-FIN
Number of animal units------: 400 See Tc, WUP
Type of waste facility -----:Anaerobic Lagoon
Temporary storage period---: 180 days
Method of application ------ :IRRIGATION
Amount of animal waste produced-----------------: 7977 tons/year
Amount of plant available N produced by animals-: 10400 lbs./year
Commercial N to apply on planned acreage--------: 0 lbs./year
Your animal waste utilization plan has been specifically
developed for your swine operation. The plan is based on the
soil types, crops to be grown, and method of application for
your particular operation. The waste must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or ground
water. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to
reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops
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 and annual soil tests
are 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. 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.
Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates and leaching potential. Waste shall not be applied to
land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. Do not
apply waste on saturated soils or on land when the surface is
frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to
surface waters. Wind conditions should also be considered to
avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value
of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential
for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or
not more than 30 days prior to planting. Soil incorporation
of waste will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.

Page 2
The acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical
nutrient content for this type of facility. Annual acreage
requirements may be more or less based on the waste analysis
report for your waste management facility.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE FLAN
------------------------------
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) with
minimum odor control. The time required for the planned f l u i d level
to be reached (permanent + temporary storage) may vary due to
fIushing operations and the amount of fresh water to be added to the
system.
The designed 6 months temporary storage is an estimated volume
based on : 1) waste from animals; 2) excess rainfall after
evaporation; and 3) the largest 24 hour ( one day) ra i nfa I l that
occurs on the average of office every 25 years. The volume of
waste generated from a given number- of animals w i l l be fairly
constant throughout the year and from year to year. This
estimate is based on 7 inches of excess ra i nfa I I which is
equal to or exceeds the highest 6 months excess in a year.
The average annual excess r-ai nfal l is approximately 8 inches.
Therefore, an average of C inches of excess rainfall wi 11
need to be pumped each year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a
factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage
volume must always be available. A maximum elevation is
determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually
the cutlet invert of pipe(-) from bui Iding(s). If the outlet
pipe is not instal led on the elevation to begin pumping, a
permanent marker- must be i nsta l I ed on this elevation to
indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be
established to stop pumping to maintain minimum treatment depth
(6 feet) . Pumping can be started or stopped any time between
these two elevations for operating convenience as site
conditions permit (weather-, soils, crop, and equipment to apply
waste without runoff or l each i ng) .
Land app l i cation of waste water is recognized as an acceptable
method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set,
center pivot, guns, and traveling gun i rr i 2 at i on. Care should
be taken when applying waste to prevent runoff from the field
or damage to craps.
The fo l l cawing items are to be parried out:
1. It is stronly recommended tha the treatment lagoon be pre -
charged to 1_/2 Its capacity to prevent excessive odors during
start-up. "'Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing -odors. Solids
should be covered with effluent at all times. When pre-
ctarg i ng is completed, flush buildings with recycled lagoon
liquid. I=resh, water should not be used for flushing after

Mr. Donald Ward,
RCDE N'Ft
NORTH C-AR HA DEpAR'T�xr OF
EwoRc memT AND NArtmAi- REsouRGES
On Wednesday, 3/28/01 1 visited your swine facility (24-43) in Columbus County. This visit
was to conduct the mandatory Operation Reveiw required by the State of North Carolina.
Upon inspection of lagoon #2, it was determined the gauge pole was incorrect. At that time,
the District Soil & Water office was notified and asked to check this lagoon behind me to ensure
the hand level readings were correct. This was done and the gauge pole was inncorrect.
At the time when the District Staff (Edward Davis) found the pole was innconect, we then
consulted the District Conservationst (Donna Register) to implement a Plan of Action to correct
the problem. Ms. Register contacted one of the MRCS Engineers to help with this situation.
It was determined at that time to check the soils in the exsisting dike by soil borings. This is
being conducted on Friday (3/30/01) by the District staff and the local Soil Scientist. If all goes
well with the soil investigation then the sod can be stripped off, then stock piled for the cover.
Loosen exsiting clay core and then add the necessary amount of clay to bring the dike wall up to
the elevation needed to correct the gauge pole.The District Staff and/or myself will monitor the
progress of this process.
I want to thank you for your understanding and willingness to correct this situation as quickly
as possible.
Sincerly,
John College

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 24-43
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, DRY3, 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
DWQ staff at [phone] ext. 571.
Sincerely,

Subject: Construction of Isolation Building
Facility Number 24-43
Columbus County .
Dear Mr. Ward,
This letter is in response to your request for permission to construct an isolation building to
accomodate 80 gilts at the above referenced sow facility. The Certificate of Coverage issued to
this facility is for 500 sows farrow to finish. It is our understanding that the addition of an
isolation building will not affect the total number of sows on site. Therefore, as long as no
additional animals are to be housed on site, and no additional animal waste management facilities
(lagoons, sprayfields, etc.) are constructed on site, your current permit would remain valid after
the addition of an isolation building.
Although it is not required, the Division of Water Quality recommends that current swine
housing setbacks be adhered to wherever possible. If you have any additional questions or
comments please feel free to contact me at 919-733-5083 extension 502.
Sincerely,

Dear Brian
This is in reference to your visit to my hog farm on May 19, 1997. Please be advised we
are in the process of pumping Lagoon #2 down to obtain the required one foot and seven
inches of freeboard. This pumping will be complete by June 20, 1997 weather

Also, Mrs. Donna Register with Columbus County Soil and Water Conservation, met
with me on Monday, June 9 to discuss other areas of concern you had. Her
recommendations are as follows:
1. Seed bare spots on inside slopes of all three lagoons with common Bermuda
grass, rake with hand tool & mulch. Do not disturb grass already growing.
2. Build up low area on North end of Lagoon #3 and reseed.
3. Repair erosion areas on back slopes with sandy clay material and reseed
4. Repair post hole on Lagoon #2 and reseed.
These repairs will be complete within 30 days or by July l l weather permitting. If you
have any questions please call me at 910-646-3360.

Dear Mr. Ward:

Subject: NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY
Donald Ward Hog Farm
Facility Number: 24-43
Columbus County
On May 19, 1997, Staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality
inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. It was observed that the lagoon
had insufficient freeboard.
USDA-NRCS guidelines require a minimum of one foot and seven inches of freeboard. This is based
on the amount of storage space needed to contain a 25-year, 24 hour design storm event without a discharge.
NRCS requirements also specify that animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops. And that
waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential
for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter
cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to
planting of the crop on bare soil.
The level of your waste lagoon needs to be lowered and maintained in accordance with the NRCS
guidelines and the state 2H .0200 rules governing animal waste management systems. In addition, as was
discussed during the inspection, erosion areas on all three lagoons should be filled with a suitable clay
material, compacted and reseeded to prevent further erosion damage. We suggest that you contact your
service company, local NRCS or Soil and Water District office for any assistance they may be able to
provide to correct the situation.

Dear Mr. Ward:
Senate Bill 1217, An Act- to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study
Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly,
requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more
swine by January 1, 1997. The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a
designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an
Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form inust be
submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a
certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H
.0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty.
If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please
contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office.
Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for
the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.

Dear Mr. Ward,
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
(DEW, 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 to DEM by December 31, 1997.
New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31, 1993 must obtain signed certification
before animals are stocked on the farm. Certification of an approved animal waste
management -plan can be obtained after the Soil and Water Conservation Commission adopts
rules later this year.
We appreciate you providing us with this information. if you have any question about
the new nondischarge rule, please contact David Harding at [phone].

Subject: Complaint Investigation Concerning
Unlawful Discharge of Wastewater
Ward Hog Farm
Columbus County
Dear Mr. Ward:
The Wilmington Regional Office was recently informed that your hog
operation located off SR 1001 near Whiteville, N. C. has been
discharging wastewater into a ditch which flows into Mr. Walter
Batten's fish pond.
On March 18, 1988 Mr. Ed Beck. of my staff met with you to
investigate the subject complaint. During the investigation you
were informed to make corrections to your hog operation to
eliminate the occasional discharge of wastewater. on the date of
the inspection an overflow was observed and it was evident that
some of the wastewater had reached the ditch.
On May 22, 1988 Mr. Steve Long of my staff met with you and Mr.
Walter Batten to again investigate the subject complaint. The
investigation revealed that occasionally your hog waste lagoons
overflow and enter a ditch which flows into Mr. Batten's fish pond.
Mr. Batten had photographs he had taken of dead fish in his pond
and photographs of the ditch containing what appeared to be hog
waste. On the date of this investigation wastewater was not
observed overflowing to the ditch, but it was evident by the dried
hog waste next to your operation that an overflow had occurred.
However, it should be noted that prior to the investigation of
March 18, 1988 that you used fill dirt to plug the drainage ditch
at the insistence of Mr. Batten to prevent the wastewater from
reaching the fish pond.

This letter is to notify you that the discharge of wastewater
without a permit from this Division is in violation of G.S.
143-215.1(a)(1) which states in part that is is unlawful for any
person to cause or permit any waste to be discharged directly or
indirectly into waters of the state.
This office recommends that immediate actions be taken to contain
the hog waste from entering the waters of the State. This may
require that changes be made in your current system of waste
handling, such as construction of a separate holding lagoon or to
build-up the dike on the lagoon next to the ditch which flows into
Mr. Batten's fish pond. You should also consider land applying
part of the hog waste to your agriculture crops.
This office also suggests that you contact William B. Williams,
District Conservationist, 110 West Smith Street, Whiteville, North
Carolina 28472, telephone number [phone].
