Jerry and Jennifer Johnson 1649 Silverspoon Road Evergreen, NC 28438 March 7, 2011 Mr. John Farnell Wilmington Regional Office Division of Water Quality 127 Cardinal Drive Extension Wilmington, NC 28405 Dear Mr. Farnell: MAR 0 g 2011 BY: This memo is to address the Notice of Violation Letter that was received on November 29`h, 2010. It is our understanding that there were no direct discharges to waters of the state that occurred from the malfunction of one of our vents in the spray field or from ponding found in bull holes in the spray field. Due to the expeditious repair of the cited issues after this inspection, the overall result was very little to no environmental impact. Once discovered, we began repairs immediately gathering the necessary equipment and working late the night of the incident and on through the following week to make sure there was little to no environmental impact. Most of the corrective actions were documented in a letter mailed to Ms. Charles Stehman at the DWQ regional office in Wilmington, as requested, on Tuesday November 30`h, 2010. This was one day after the noted inspection by the .State. We are attaching a copy of the letter sent for your review. This letter was also sent to Mr. John Farnell and Mr. John College. During a time of severe financial difficulty for our family, as well as our State and nation, we are working diligently on keeping our farming heritage alive. This has proven to be a challenge and brought our farming business to near bankruptcy_ As noted in our letter to Mr. Steham our faculty was without pigs for almost 9 months due to various factors. All of which we have been working diligently to correct. We respectfully request a remission of the civil fines imposed upon us by the State of North Carolina. We began operations in 1995 and have operated safely and within the State regulations since that time. We have not been cited by the State with a violation since beginning this operation as young farmers many years ago. To summarize our reasons for requesting a remission of the civil penalty imposed we would like to make note of the following: It is the understanding of the operator in charge that a leaking vent in the spray field was found, however it was not determined to he affecting State water supplies because the Mr. John Farnell March $, 2011 Page 2 vent was near a dead end ditch, with no potential for further discharge. The noted vent was repaired, with money borrowed from family, the following day. Following receipt of the notice of violations, repairs were made as discussed above. A plan of action was submitted to Mr. Charles Stehman, as requested, in the Wilmington Regional Office. The issues of insufficient vegetation on the spray fields were addressed on November 25'h, 2010 when the fields were reseeded with fescue. This effort was done to comply with recommendation made during the DWQ visit on November I0t', 2010. There is an ongoing issue with the landowner who maintains a herd of horses and cattle on the spray fields. We have asked the landowner to remove the animals from the spray field however he is not compliant with our requests. We have continued to work on making corrective actions for the spray fields and worked with an agronomist as well on this issue. In the letter sent to Mr. Charles Stehman on November 29`h the operator in charge requested evaluation of the reseeded spray fields by the agronomist. After approximately 17 years of operations, we have never been assessed a civil penalty. It is our intention to operate our farm in a manner that is safe for the environment and meets all State regulations and standards. As stated previously, this is a time of great economic challenge for our farming business. We have made many repairs to our aging facility over the last few years and have a long list of repairs yet to complete. Diverting the little cash flow that we have now reestablished with the farm to pay a civil penalty of almost $4000.00 will cause us to stop work on repairs that are desperately needed and that have been mandated by our contract company. Without making these repairs we will be faced with a loss of pigs in our facility. If faced with the loss of pigs from our facility once again, we will most likely lose our farming business due to bankruptcy. We would hope that the information contained in this memo as well as our prompt response would be considered along with the current global economic recession and overall state of the pork industry, would justify a waiver from civil penalties that may be considered as a result of these citations. Sincerely, "andJenniohnson Jerry Johnson Farms CC. Keith Larick November 29b, 2010 Mr. Charles F. Stehman Environmental Program Supervisor III Division of Water Quality Wilmington Regional Office 127 Cardinal Drive Extension Wilmington, NC 28405 Subject: Response to cited violations of Jerry Johnson Farm, Evergreen North Carolina Dear Mr. Stehman: On November 29th, 2010 we received notification through certified mail of several violations for our farm and swine production facility. This letter is in response to the cited violations and includes our current plan of action for these violations_ It is our intent to make the necessary corrections and maintain compliance with all State regulations associated with discharging of animal waste. As requested, we are submitting an outline of the corrective actions taken thus far towards each cited violation. These actions include the following: Violation l: Failure to maintain a vegetative cover in accordance with the CAWAfP and Condition 11. 2. Of Swine Waste System Permit No. AWGI00000. It was noted in the letter we received that the staff found fescue crops were insufficient for nutrient utilization_ The letter also noted that Mr_ Rick Morris, agronomist, recommended plans for improved vegetative cover in 2008. As farm owners we complied with this plan and had the spray fields reseeded with fescue. Mr. Morris has revisited the farm on multiple occasions to reassess these fields. He was present on the farm in 2008 and 2009. He shared with the OIC that there was an established stand of fescue at his last visit. No further recommendations have been received by the OIC about this matter. After the most recent visit by DWQ and DSWC staff on November 1& 2010, the OIC has again reseeded the spray fields with fescue on November 20, 2010. The landowner of the spray fields has livestock, both horses and cattle that continuously graze in these areas. The OIC has discussed options for relocating the animals; however at this time the land owner is not compliant with movement of these animals. This has contributed to the lack of established vegetative cover and is an issue the OIC will continue to evaluate. The OIC requests a review of the spray fields by Mr. Morris after the recently reseeded fields germinate. Violation 2: Failure to apply animal waste at rates intended to prevent runoff of ponding in accordance with CAWW and Condition ILS. of Swine Waste System General Permit No. AWG100000, It was noted in the letter we received that the staff found excessive ponding of more than four hours in low areas of the Bermuda field. Without receipt of more specific information, such as number of areas observed in field and estimated volumes of ponding, the OIC is not fully able to ascertain the potential for run off of waste. It is possible that livestock in the field have created lower lying areas in which water or waste might accumulate. However, these areas are centrally located in the spray field and are not close to ditches or waterways. Therefore the potential for run off of waste is virtually nonexistent. The OIC has plans to fill the low lying areas in the field with soil to help prevent this problem for occurring in the future. An estimated date of completion for this is December 4t°, 2010. The OIC requests assistance in planning correction of this violation if the above mentioned plan is deemed insufficient. Violation 3: Failure to maintain the collection, treatment, and storage facilities, and the land application equipment and fields in accordance with CAWMP and Condition 11.1. of Swine Waste .System General Permit No. AWG100000. It was noted in the letter we received that on November I O'h, 2010 staff found a leaking air vent on the top of a hydrant near a ditch in the Bermuda field. The OIC has repaired this faulty equipment on November 1 I'h, 2010, one day after the cited visit from DWQ staff. As farm owners we have recently suffered extreme financial difficulty due to a significant loss of farm income from our swine production facility. We were without swine in the four houses for approximately 9 months. This represents a significant financial loss for our family. We have been challenged to continue to make repairs with a significantly lowered farm income. The money for repair of the faulty equipment was borrowed from a family member. It is the intent of the OIC to comply with all regulations imposed by the State concerning discharge of animal waste. Violation 4: Failure to notify the Division of Water Quality of a discharge in accordance with CAWMP and Conditions M.9 and 13 of Swine Waste System General Permit No. AWG100000. The OIC did not determine there was a risk for run of off animal waste into the area water supply. The areas noted in the report were not adjacent to a ditch or water source. The ponding in the spray field that was noted was centrally located in the field with no potential for run off. The waste material observed near the faulty air vent on the hydrant was in a self contained ditch, with no potential for run off into a larger ditch. It is the intention of the OIC to comply with reporting of discharge regulations for the State. In closing, as farm owners we have operated our swine production facility for over 15 years. We have complied with State regulations in every way possible. In the past 15 years, we have not received a notice of violation nor had a discharge of animal waste that affected the water supply or the environment. We respectfully request your consideration in this matter and ask that a civil fine not be imposed at this time. We intend to comply with all regulations and have corrected most of the cited problems. Our plan includes the correction of the last problem by December 46, 2010. If you have any questions or should need to contact us further you may do so at 910-654-1438.

Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for such request: Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below, as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered: (1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the violator; (2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation; (3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident; (4) whether the violator has been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or (5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the retraining necessary remedial actions. Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your evidence and inform you of their decision in the matter of your remission request_ The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee).

The spray field was reseeded with fescue on November 25. 2010. They are working with the landowner to remove the animals from the spray field, however he has refused so far. They are continuing to work with an agronomist for the spray field issues. DWG Response: The OIC addressed the leaking air vent after the violation was noted by inspectors, yet clearly the problem was known due to rags tied to the equipment. Jerry Johnson leases the fields where he sprays. The property owner grazes cattle on these fields, however, Jerry Johnson has failed to improve the impact of animal wear and tear, resulting in poor vegetative cover. ❑ (c) Whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident: ® (d) Whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations: Submitted Remission factor: No previous civil penalties have been assessed against the owner. DWO Response: The permittee has multiple past NOVs, which led to the decision to enforce this time. ® (e) Whether payment of the civil penal", will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions: Submitted Remission factor: The farm was previously without pigs for 9 months in 2010. Payment of the civil penalty will not allow them to make repairs that have been mandated by their contract company, and if this happens the company may not re- stock pigs, resulting in loss of the farm. DWO Response: A return visit to the Jerry Johnson farm on March 29, 2011 found excessive ponding in the fields similar to what was discovered during the November 10, 2010 visit.

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. A 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor Page: 1 problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR ( gallons, ft3, tons, etc.): 3200 animals X 986 gal/animaltyear = AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN PRODUCED PER YEAR (lbs): 3200 animals X 2.30 Ibs/animal/year 3,153,600 gallons 7,360.00 Ibs Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown, soil type, and surface application. Page: 2 1 . Tract Hyd.

In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen. In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in berrnuda), forage must be removed through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result R small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen Page: 3 U being utilized. Rather than cutting -.nail grain for hay or silage just before reeding as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the --time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

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 0.36 pounds of plant available' nitrogen per animal per year in the sludge based on the application method listed earlier. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 5760.00 Page: 4 pounds of PAN to utilize_ Assum,..4 you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudag,ass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 19.20 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 46.08 acres of land. —_ Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and applications. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION: The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs_ This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method'of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

In many situations, the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsiability of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste.

Ross Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Coleen H. Sullins, Director Division of Water Quality February 8, 2008 RE�E�VED MAR 0 5 2008 I: Subject: Sludge Survey Testing Dates Certificate of Coverage No. AWS240095 Jerry Johnson Farm Animal Waste Management System Columbus County The Division of Water Quality (Division) received your sludge survey information on January 3, 2008. With your results, you requested an extension in the frequency of the sludge survey for Lagoon 1 at the Jerry Johnson Farm facility. The request was denied because our records showed a sludge depth of 1.25 feet on April 15, 2004 while the survey conducted on December 11, 2007 showed a sludge depth of 4.10 feet. The Division subsequently received the results of your 2005 survey which show a sludge depth of 3.28 feet and 2006 survey which show a sludge depth of 3.43 feet. Based on the sludge accumulation anticipated from all four years of data indicating there is an adequate amount of treatment volume available, the Division agrees that a sludge survey is not needed until 2009 (to meet the requirement for a sludge survey in the year of permit renewal). The results of the 2009 sludge survey are to be submitted with the Annual Certification Form that will be due on March 1, 2010. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement for the lagoon # 1 at the Jerry Johnson Farm. Due to the amount of treatment volume available, and the rate of sludge accumulation for the lagoon, DWQ feels that an extension is not appropriate at this time. The next sludge survey for the lagoon # 1 at this facility should be performed before December 31, 2010. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Stehman Environmental Program Supervisor'III Division of Water Quality Wilmington Regional Office 127 Cardinal Drive Extension Wilmington, NC 28405 Subject: Response to cited violations of Jerry Johnson Farm, Evergreen North Carolina Dear Mr. Stehman: On November 29h, 2010 we received notification through certified mail of several violations for our farm and swine production facility. This letter is in response to the cited violations and includes our current plan of action for these violations. It is our intent to make the necessary corrections and maintain compliance with all: State regulations associated with discharging of animal waste. As requested, we are submitting an outline of the corrective actions taken thus far towards each cited violation. These actions include the following: Violation 1: Failure to maintain a vegetative cover in accordance with the CAWMP and Condition II. 2. Of Swine Waste System Permit No. AWG100000. It was noted in the letter we received that the staff found fescue crops were insufficient for nutrient utilization. The letter also noted that Mr. Rick Morris, agronomist, recommended plans for improved vegetative cover in 2008. As farm owners we complied with this plan and had the spray fields reseeded with fescue. Mr. Morris has revisited the farm on multiple occasions to reassess these fields. He was present on the farm in 2008 and 2009. He shared with the OIC that there was an established stand of fescue at his last visit. No further recommendations have been received by the OIC about this matter. After the most recent visit by DWQ and DSWC staff on November 10`h 2010, the OIC has again reseeded the spray fields witht fescue on November 24d, 2010. The landowner of the spray fields has livestock, both horses and cattle that continuously graze in these areas. The OIC has discussed options for relocating the animals; howevef at this time the land owner is not compliant with movement of these animals. This has contributed to the lack of established vegetative cover and is an issue the OIC will continue to evaluate. The OIC requests a review of the spray fields by Mr. Morris after the recently reseeded fields germinate. �- Violation 2: Failure -to apply animal waste at rates intended to prevent runoff of ponding in accordance with CAWMP and Condition IL 5. of Swine Waste System General Permit No. AWG100000. It was noted in the letter we received that the staff found excessive ponding of more than four hours in low areas of the Bermuda field. Without receipt of more specific information, such as number of areas observed in field and estimated volumes of ponding, the OIC is not fully able to ascertain the potential for run off of waste. It is possible that livestock in the field have created lower lying areas in which water or waste might accumulate. However, these areas are centrally located in the spray field and are not close to ditches or waterways: Therefore the potential for run off of waste is virtually nonexistent. The OIC has plans to fill the low lying areas in the field with soil to help prevent this problem for occurring in the future. An estimateddate of completion for this is December 4a`, 2010. The OIC requests assistance in planning correction of this violation if the above mentioned plan is deemed insufficient. Violation 3: Failure to maintain the collection, treatment, and storage facilities, and the land application equipment and fields in accordance with CAWMP and Condition H..1. of Swine Waste System General Permit No.-AWGI00000. It was noted in the letter we received that on November 10`h, 2010 staff found a leaking air vent on the top of a hydrant near a ditch in the Bermuda field. The OIC has repaired this faulty equipment on November 11", 2010, one day after the cited visit from DWQ staff. As farm owners we have recently suffered extreme financial difficulty due to a significant loss of farm income from our swine production facility. We were without swine in the four houses for approximately 9 months. This represents a significant financial loss for our family. We have been challenged to continue to make repairs with a significantly lowered farm income. The money:for repair of the faulty equipment was borrowed from a family member. It is the intent of the OIC to comply with all regulations imposed by the State concerning discharge of animal;waste. Violation 4: Failure to noti the Division of Water Quality of a discharge in accordance with CAWMP and Conditions 111.9 and 13 of Swine Waste System General Permit No. AWGI00000..., The OIC did not determine there was a risk for run of off animal waste into the area water supply. The areas noted in the report were not adjacent to a ditch or water source. The ponding in the spray field that was noted was centrally located in the field with no potential for run off. The waste material "observed near the faulty air vent on the hydrant was in a self contained ditch, with no potential"for.run off into a larger ditch. It is the intention of the OIC to comply with reporting of discharge regufations for the State. # . In closing, as farm owners we'have operated our swine production facility for over 1'5 years. We have complied with Stateregulations in every way possible. In the past 15 years, we have-not received a notice of violation nor had a discharge of animal waste that affected the water supply or theyerivironment. We - respectfully request your consideration in this matter and ask that a civil fine not be imposed at this time. - We intend to comply=with all regulations and have corrected most of the cited problems. Our plan 1 includes the correction of the last problem by December 4"', 2010. 5 •.. If you have any questions or should need to contact us further you may do so at 9,10-654=1438.

PoA (30 Day) 2121/00 Steve Troxler Commissioner To: From: Subject: Date: North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Agronomic Division Dr. Colleen Hudak -Wise Director Mr. Jerry Johnson, 5235 Old Hwy 74, Chadbourn, NC 28431 Mr. John College, DENR Regional Office, 127 Cardinal Dr, Wilmington, NC 28405 Rick Morris, NCDA&CS regional agronomist Agronomist Report and Recommendation for Spray Fields August 20, 2008 On August 12, 2008, grower Jerry Johnson and I met with officials from the Division of Soil and Water, DWQ and Murphy -Brown to visit problem spray fields and discuss management issues. The first two fields we observed consisted of 24 acres of failed fescue. The remaining spray fields contained adequate stands of established Bermuda in jeopardy due to weed problems_ I discussed a management plan with all in attendance, and everyone agreed to the suggestions. My recommendations are summarized here at the request of John College of the Division of Soil and Water. . Replant the first two fields in fescue. Since they have some surface compaction at the present time, use an aerator before planting. The aerator should loosen the soil to a depth of four to six inches. Spray the first two fields with gramoxone at a volume of 20-30 gallons of water per acre. The rate will vary depending on the trade name of the product used but generally should be about 2.5 pints of gramoxone per acre plus 1 quart of a non-ionic surfactant per 100 gallons of water. Do this about two weeks prior to planting. If needed, apply an additional application of gramoxone at a rate of 1.5-2.5 pints per acre after planting but before fescue emerges. Products such as 2,4-D or Banvel, which could ordinarily be used to enhance kill of broadleaf weeds, should be omitted in these front fields because tobacco is planted on a nearby farm. Plant a minimum of I5-20 lb of `Kentucky 31' fescue seed per acre, using no -till practices. Ordinarily, 15 lb would be sufficient to obtain an adequate stand, but because of the soil type, I believe it would be preferable to use a higher seeding rate and disturb the soil as little as possible. Plant seed % to 1 inch deep, but no deeper. The earliest planting date for Columbus County is September 15, and I advise having seed in the ground before September 30 if weather permits. If dry weather develops after planting, 1/4 inch of waste water can be applied to the field primarily for water value. I am concerned about applying more water and nutrients, which may promote competition for the new fescue crop. 1040 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1040 (919) 733-2655 0 Fax (919) 733-2637 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer Avoid grazing new fescue until early March and until plants are 8 inches tall. Establish temporary fencing in fields Before they are grazed. Afterwards, move cows to new areas every a few days to prevent overgrazing. Keep horses off newly established fescue because they are spot grazers and tend to graze too closely. Allow only cows to graze on new fescue fields until additional inspections confirm a solid stand of fescue. Weed control for the first two (front) fields will also need to be addressed, but we can wait until winter to identify the weeds and prescribe a management program. The remaining Bermuda fields we observed had adequate coverage, but surface compaction was evident. Aerate these fields before the summer is over. In the future, aerate at least once per season as long as the field is being grazed Avoid aeration during winter months to prevent cold injury to the root system. Pigweed and palmer amaranth are primary weed problems in the Bermuda fields. Because it is late in the season and the root system is large, mowing may be the best management solution. Routine mowing about every two weeks should keep the Bermuda from being shaded out and cut down on the number of mature weed seed. Scheduling is a judgment call based on weed size and existing environmental growing conditions. If tobacco.on the neighboring farm is harvested this month, then Weedmaster, Banvel or Clarity can be used to help kill weeds. Although there are few grazing restrictions with these products, read and follow label suggestions regarding the advisability of allowing animals to remain on site after herbicide application. Jerry, you may want to apply a product called Cimmaron next spring on your Bermuda fields. It will help clean up bahia grass and also give you some broadleaf suppression. If tobacco or cotton is not planted within a'/2 mile of your farm next spring, then you could used some of the other products mentioned once you see emergence of these weeds. I hope these recommendations will help get this farm back on the right track. I am available to answer your questions. Just give me a call.

With your results, you requested an extension in the frequency of the sludge survey for Lagoon 1 at the Jerry Johnson Farm facility. Our records show a sludge depth of 1.25 feet on April 15, 2004 while the survey conducted on December 11, 2007 shows a sludge depth of 4.10 feet. If this rate of accumulation is continuing the liquid treatment zone depth would be projected to approach the 4 foot minimum depth by the end of 2008. For this reason, the Division can not extend the sludge survey date. The results of the 2008 sludge survey are to be submitted on or before March 1, 2009. Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions, please contact me at duane.leith@ncmail.net or by phone at (919) 715-6186.

The Certificate of Coverage (COC) NCA224095 of your NPDES Permit states: "This approval shall consist of the operation of this system, including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Jerry Johnson Farm located in Columbus County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 3,200 Feeder to Finish, 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 unnecessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows." The Division received your annual certification form on March 06, 2006. On that form, you indicated that your annual average was 3,468. This exceeds the annual average specified in your COC of 3,200. To avoid possible enforcement action for a violation of your permit, please submit the facility's stocking records for the year 2005 within thirty (30) days to the following address: Aquifer Protection Section 1636 Mail Service Center Internet: www.ncwateruualitv.ore Location: 2728 Capital Boulevard An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer— 50% Recycledl10% Post Consumer Paper No Carolina ,Jl�trrra!!� Raleigh, NC 27699-1636 Telephone: (919) 733-3221 Raleigh, NC 27604 Fax 1: (919) 715-0588 Fax 2: (919) 715-6048 Customer Service: (877) 623-6748 Contd.

The Wilmington Regional Office has determined that no further enforcement actions will be taken by the Division for the inadequate freeboard. However, upon review and consideration of the information submitted, the Wilmington Regional Office has determined that an NOV is appropriate due to unsatisfactory operation and maintenance of the waste treatment system. In the future, please continue to evaluate ways to maintain freeboard levels in the required range. These methods include, but are not limited to, water conservation practices, adding additional application sites, updating your cropping systems, adding additional and/or more flexible application equipment, and maintaining the lagoon levels at the lowest allowable and appropriate levels throughout the year_ Our staff looks forward to continuing to work with you and your Technical Specialist to evaluate and implement any needed changes to your system.

DESIGNED BY: r DATE: (b APPROVED BY: DATE: f 1111fS `g I NOTE: SEE ATTACHED WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN lJ J *Note: Engineering approval is for minimum design standards and is based on pre -construction site and'soils investigations. Technical specialist shall verify soils.during construction, co with Engineer on any required modifications, and perform final as --built certification. Technical specialist is responsible for excavation calculations and nutrient management plan. Technical specialist to verify with owner/operator (1) all applicable setback distances, and (2) excavation of known tile drains in construction area before sitework begins. SHEET 1 OF 2 SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS ---------------------------------------------------------- FOUNDATION PREPARATION: ----------------------- The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be cleared of trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush, boulders,sod and rubbish. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoil from the lagoon and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior to placing the first lift of fill material to get a good bond. EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT: ----------------------------------- The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines, grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthf ill material shall be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen soil, stones over 6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent they are suitable, excavated materials can be used as fill. The fill shall be brought up in approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9 inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading equipment or standard tamping roller or other equivalent method. Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectible. NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials from the required excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height and with an impoundment capacity of 10 acre-feet or more fall under the jurisdiction of the NC Dam Safety Law. The height is defined as the difference in elevation from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike. Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.8 ft. ------------------------------------------------- NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERIAL IS ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE SOILS REPORT. When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be over - excavated below finish grade to the specified depth as measured perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall be backfilled as specified to grade with a SCS approved material (ie - CL,SC,CH). REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN THE PLANS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS. SHEET 2 OF 2 Soil liner material shall come from an approved borrow area. The minimum water content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture content which relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneaded in the hand it will form a ball which does not readily separate. Water shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture content during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner material shall not be less than optimum water content during placement. The maximum water content relates to the soil material being too wet for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Proper compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum ASTM D698 Dry Unit Weight of -the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous lift shall be scarified and moistened_ as needed before placement of the next lift. The single most important -factor affecting the overall compacted perme- ability of a clay liner, other than the type of clay used for the liner, is the efficient construction processing of the compacted liner. The sequence of equipment use and the routing of equipment in an estab- lished pattern helps assure uniformity in the whole placement and compaction process. For most clay soils, a tamping or sheepsfoot roller is the preferable type of compaction equipment. The soil liner shall be protected from the discharge of waste outlet pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator(rocks) or using flexible outlets on waste pipes. Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant. When these are specified, additional construction specifications are included with this Construction Specification. CUTOFF TRENCH: -------------- A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when shown on a typical cross section in the plans. The final depth of the cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation materials. VEGETATION: All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construc- tion according to the seeding specifications. Topsoil should be placed on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch shall be used if the recommended permanent vegetation is out of season dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should be established as soon as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates. When the drains are encountered, the tile will be removed to a minimum of 10 feet beyond the outside toe of slope of the dike. The the trench shall be backfilled and compacted with good material such as SC, CL, or CH.

SOIL SHEE� FOR DEPTH . 51TECONDITION NOTES SHEET 1 OF 2 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN ------------------------------ This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and 180 days of temporary storage. The time required for the planned fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for: (1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also included is storage for the 25 year - 24 hour storm for the location. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to 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 outlet invert of pipe(s) from building(s). If the outlet pipe -is not installed at the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth. Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without runoff or leaching. Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation_ Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out: 1. It is strongly recommended that 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 precharging is complete, flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after initial filling. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment) before land application. 3. Begin temporary storage pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches the elevation 48.9 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump - out when the fluid level reaches elevation 46.7 . This temporary storage, less 25 yr- 24 hr storm, contains 150122 cubic feet or 1122915 gallons. SHEET 2 OF 2 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 inch per hour. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details. 5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. 6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and establish in vegetation. 7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets. 8. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ- mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

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 shag be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this We of facility. in some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR ( gallons, fi3, tons, etc.): 3200 animals X 986 gallanimaltyear = 3,153,600 gallons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN PRODUCED PER YEAR (ibs): 3200 animals X 2.30 lbslanimallyear 7,360.00 lbs 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.

A positive number means additional acreage is required to utilize the nitrogen produced by the fans. NOTE: This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above. The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen. In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will defnately interfere with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the'season, depending on the time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to Interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of about two Inches before drilling for best results. The Bowing legend explains the crop codes listed in the table above: A Barley B Hybrid Bermudagrass - Grazed C Hybrid Bermudagrass - Hay D Corn - Grain E Corn - Silage F Cotton G Fescue - Grazed H Fescue - Hay I Oats J Rye K Small Grain - Grazed L Small Grain - Hay M Grain Sorghum N Wheat O Soybean Lbs N utilized I unit vield 1.6 lbs N / bushel 50 lbs N I ton 50 lbs N I ton 1.25 lbs N / bushel 12 lbs N / ton 0.12 lbs N / lbs lint 50 lbs N / ton 50 lbs N i ton 1.3 lbs N / bushel 2.4 lbs N / bushel 100 lbs N / acre 133 lbs N / acre 2.5 lbs N I cart 2.4 lbs N I bushel 4.0 lbs N / bushel Ames shown in the preceding table are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not redwing 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 0.36 pounds of plant available nitrogen per animal per year in the in sludge based on the application method listed earlier. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 5760.00 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid besmudagrass hayland at the rate of 30a pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 19.20 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 46.08 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and applications. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION: The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids.. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen creeds 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 property irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shaven in the tables may make this plan invalid. The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

In many situations, the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for ISO days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every B months. In no instance should the volume of the waste stoned in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. it is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated property to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste.

It was observed that some erosion of the clay liner has occurred on the lagoon. Large cuts were observed in various sections of the inner dike walls of the lagoon. It is our concern that some of these gullies may become deep enough to cut through the liner material and sacrifice the integrity of the structure. As discussed at the time of the inspection, the cuts should be filled with a suitable clay material, compacted and reseeded with an appropriate vegetative cover. In addition, bare spots on the lagoon wall should be reseeded. 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. 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 will be taken to comply with your waste management plan. Failure to do so may molt in the facility losing it's deemed permitted status, requiring it to obtain an individual non discharge permit. 127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, N.C. 28405-3845 • Telephone 910-395-3900 0 Fax 910.350-2004 An Equal opportunity Affirmative Action Employer Jerry Johnson June 6, 1997 Page 2.
