If a discharge of 1,000,000 gallons of wastewater or more reaches surface waters or wetlands, the appropriate Division Regional Office must be contacted to determine in what additional counties, if any, a public notice must be published. A copy of all public notices and proof of publication must be sent to the Division within thirty (30) days of the discharge. 21. The Permittee shall conduct a survey of the sludge accumulation in all lagoons every year. The survey report should be written on forms provided or approved by the Division and shall include a sketch showing the depth of sludge in the various locations within each lagoon. This survey fi-equency may be reduced if it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Division that the rate of sludge accumulation does not warrant an annual survey_ If the sludge accumulation is such that the structure does not satisfy the criteria set by NRCS NC Conservation Practice Standard No. 359, a sludge removal or management plan must be submitted to the appropriate Division Regional Office within, ninety (90) days of the determination. The plan shall describe removal and waste utilization procedures to be used. Compliance regarding sludge levels must be.achieved within two (2) years of the determination. 22. If required by 15A NCAC 02T Section .1300, the Division may notify the permittee to conduct compliance water quality monitoring on surface and/or groundwater during the period of this Permit. This monitoring will not be required until such time as the Division notifies the permittee. A monitoring plan shall be established within the time specified by the above referenced rules. All monitoring must be performed using standard sampling protocol, tested at a laboratory approved by the Division, and results must be submitted to the Division. IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS 1. The Groundwater Compliance Boundary is established by 15A NCAC 2L ,0102 and 15A NCAC 2T .0103. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to the requirements of 15A NCAC 2L and the Division in addition to the penalty provisions applicable under the North Carolina General Statutes. 2. Any groundwater quality monitoring, as deemed necessary by the Division, shall be provided. 14 V. INSPECTIONS 1.

The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this Permit. Any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of state law and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit coverage termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit coverage renewal application. 3. It shall not be a defense for a Permittee in an enforcement action to claim that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the conditions of this Permit. VIII. DEFINITIONS 25-year, 24-hour rainfall or storm event means the maximum 24-hour precipitation event with a probable recurrence interval of once in 25 years, as defined by the National Weather Service in Technical Paper Number 40, "Rainfall Frequency Atlas of the United States," May 1961, and subsequent amendments, or equivalent regional or state rainfall probability information developed therefrom. Agronomic rates means the amount of animal waste and/or other nutrient sources to be applied to lands as outlined in NRCS NC Conservation Practice Standards No. 590 "Nutrient Management" and No. 633 "Waste Utilization" or as recommended by the NCDA&CS and the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service at the time of certification of the Animal Waste Management Plan by the appropriate certified technical specialist. Amendment to the CAWMP means a change and/or addition to a part(s) of the plan, and requires that the change and/or addition adhere to current applicable standards. The following are examples of amendments to the CAWMP: 17 • In an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes 25% or less of the N generated is considered a plan amendment. Additional acreage needed to facilitate the change in crops and/or cropping pattern is permissible and considered part of the amendment. • The addition of winter crops and/or interseeded perennial crops are considered amendments to an existing CAWMP when the operation does not require additional acreage and/or crops for N utilization, and does not exceed the 25% criteria stated above. • When a CAWMP cannot meet N utilization requirements due to land lost to irrigation inefficiency (useable versus total acres), then the CAWMP may be amended to increase available acreage and/or change the crop for N utilization. This is the only exception to the 25% N criteria for plan revision. • Inclusions of emergency action plans, and insect, odor and mortality checklists are considered CAWMP amendments. • Including additional acreage for land application beyond what is required in the existing CAWMP is considered a plan amendment. Animal feeding operation means a lot or facility (other than an aquatic animal production facility) where the following conditions are met: (i) animals (other than aquatic animals) have been, are, or will be stabled or confined and fed or maintained for a total of forty five (45) days or more in any twelve (12) month period, and (ii) crops, vegetation, forage growth, or post -harvest residues are not sustained in the normal growing season over any portion of the lot or facility. Two or more animal feeding operations under common ownership are considered to be a single animal feeding operation if they adjoin each other, or if they use a common area or system for the disposal of wastes. Certification means technical specialist certification of the CAWMP in accordance with the requirements of 15A NCAC 02T .1304. It is unrelated to terms "Annual Certification" as used in Condition 11I.16 of this Permit, and the "No Discharge Certification Option" allowed by the November 2008 EPA CAFO Rule. Ditch means any man made channel for the purpose of moving water off a site to the surface waters. Excessive Ponding means any area of the application field where visible liquid waste is ponded on the surface of the land application site more than four (4) hours following the application of waste. Excessive ponding also means any areas where the ponding of waste has resulted in crop failure. Groundwaters mean any subsurface waters, as defined in 15A NCAC 2L .0102. Land application means the application of wastewater and/or waste solids onto or incorporation into the soil. Major changes to the CAWMP means changes in the number of animals, type of operation (feeder to finish to wean to feeder), retrofit of a lagoon, installation of a new irrigation system, and similar type changes. Recertification is only required for major changes to the CAWMP. Major changes to a facility must first be approved by DWQ. The new CAWMP and the certification shall be submitted with a request that the COC be amended to reflect the changes. The facility may not make the changes until a new or amended COC has been issued. 18 Revision to the CAWMP means a change to an entire CAWMP to meet current applicable standards. A CAWMP must be revised if the operation cannot utilize all N nitrogen generated by the animal production in accordance with the existing CAWMP, except for the specific conditions noted in the CAWMP amendment criteria as previously defined. For an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes more than 25% of the N generated by the operation is considered a plan revision. Any change to an existing CAWMP, whether an amendment or revision, must be signed and dated by both the producer and a technical specialist for the new CAWMP to be valid. A revision of the CAWMP does not require recertification. State Waters means all surface waters, wetlands, groundwaters and waters of the United States located in the State. Surface Waters means any stream, river, brook, swamp, lake, sound, tidal estuary, bay, creek, reservoir, waterway, or other surface body or surface accumulation of water, whether public or private, or natural or artificial, that is contained in, flows through, or borders upon any portion of the State of North Carolina, including any portion of the Atlantic Ocean over which the State has jurisdiction as well as any additional Waters of the United States which are located in the State. Waste means manure, animal waste, process wastewater and/or sludge generated at an animal feeding operation_ Wetlands means areas that are inundated or saturated by an accumulation of surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances do support a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions, as defined in 15A NCAC 2B .0202.

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. 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, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. .Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land -eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. 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 DEM regulations. 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 applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for -this type of facility. Acreage requirements'should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. BY: MAY 13 nag NUP Page 1 Amount of Waste Produced Per Year (gallons, ft, tons, etc.) 31,680 animals X 1.9 (tons) waste/animal/year = 60,192.0 (amt.) waste/year. Amount of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) Produced Per Year 31,680 animals X 1_5 lbs. PAN/animal/year = 47,520.0 lbs. PAN/year. Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a Timely manner. The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown and surface application: See Page 2a For Acres Owned By Producer "This N is from animal waste only. If nutrients from other sources such as commercial fertilizer are applied, they must be accounted for. N must be based on realistic yield expectation. NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. Beginning in 1996 the Coastal Zone Management Act will require farmers in some eastern counties of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses Nitrogen. NUP Page 2 Table 1: ACRES OWNED BY PRODUCER Tract Field Sol] Crop Lbs. N Acres Lbs.

Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has and agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing himther the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strip). 5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 6 When animal waste is 'to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) 7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. 8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. NUP Pages REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 9 Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10 Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. r 13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those C_ owned by the landowner. 14 Waste shall be applied in a manner no to reach other property and public right -of ways. 15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by prior converted wetlands provided they 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 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.

A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 19 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 is should only be applied preplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 20 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 markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 21 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall'be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 22 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION AGREEMENT (Needed only ifadditionalland has to be teased, etc.) I, Wendall H_Murphy , hereby give Murphy Family Ventures permission to apply animal waste from his Waste Utilization System on 49.59 acres of my land for the duration of time shown below. The land is located at the intersection of Bonham and Waycross Roads in Duplin County. The tract of land is otherwise known as The Kornegey Tract. I understand that this waste contains nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, and other trace elements and when properly applied should not harm my land or crops. I also understand that the use of waste will reduce my needed for commercial fertilizer.

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. 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, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be.applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. 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 DEM regulations. 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 applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. NUP Page 1 Amount of Waste Produced Per Year gallons, ft. tons, etc.) 31.680 animals X i (tons) wastelanimal/year = 60,192.0 (amt.) waste/year. Amount of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) Produced Per Year 31,680 animals X y.5 lbs. PAN/animal/year = 47,520.0 lbs. PAN/year. Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown and surface application: See Page 2a For Acres Owned By Producer *This N is from animal waste only. If nutrients from other sources such as commercial fertilizer are applied, they must be accounted for. N must be based on realistic yield expectation. NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. Beginning in 1996 the Coastal Zone Management Act will require farmers in some eastern counties of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses Nitrogen. NUP Page 2 Table 1: ACRES OWNED BY PRODUCER Tract FI&M Solt Gap Lbs. N Acres lbs.

In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation `see lagoon staff gauges. Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. Narrative of operation: This_NUP reflects wettable acres for reels and aerways._ This waste plan is based on on -farm -records These farms use an aerwav system and hard hose traveller and dry hydrant system for irrigation. The method of nutrient removal is through having and row crops. The fields number K-1 K-2 and NG-1 through NG-11 are applied to using the aerway s tem. NUP Page4 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 1 Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has and agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strip). 5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift,from the irrigation field. 6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See 'Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) 7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. 8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. NUP Pages REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 9 Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10 Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14 Waste shall be applied in a manner no to reach other property and public right -of ways. 15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by prior converted wetlands provided they 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 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. NUP Page 6 18 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. 19 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 is should only be applied preplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 20 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 markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 21 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 22 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

We at DM Farms, strive to keep all of our farms in compliance with all applicable laws. During the first six months of this year, we, had far greater than average rainfall. DM Farms went into the winter of 2002 and spring of 2003 with our lagoons at, or nearly at, stop pump. In the year 2001, we received 20 inches of rain for the months of January — June. For the same time period in 2002, we received 18 inches of rain. For the same time period this year, we received 30 inches of rain, which was 11 inches more than the average of the prior two years. In July we had our CAWMP changed to reflect new methods of applying waste. When we began the year on risers 26-28 we were applying under a valid CAWMP that allowed for the application of 275 lbs. of nitrogen per acre. The CAWMP dated 7/21/03 changed the application rate for risers 26-28 to 225 lbs. per acre. When the waste records were updated to correct changes in the CAWMP, risers 26-28 were not changed. It is a valid argument that the crop utilized the extra nitrogen due to the time of year. As for steps to prevent this in the future, we will be diligent in our efforts at proofing our records and CAWMP. We hope this will answer any questions you may have regarding the situations as well as plans to prevent this in the future. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 910-289-7364 ext. 202 or you may page me at 910-296-5086. Respectfully, _ A.J.

I have conducted the annual sludge survey. I have determined that there are seven lagoons that do not meet the minimum requirements of the permits. My intentions are to utilize enzymes to break down the sludge layer and then to evaluate the results of this practice when I conduct the survey neat year. If I do not see a reduction of sludge at that time I may have to rethink my strategy. I am also looking at the lagoon designs to make sure that they are correct. During this evaluation period I will be looking at possible land application sites and equipment that I may need in the future to handle the sludge. I am currently not experiencing a problem of high nitrogen on these lagoons. I am able to manage these lagoons within my current waste plan and practices.

On June 18 and 19 you conducted inspections and noted deficiencies in several fields. These deficiencies were for a lack of adequate crop cover as Iisted in the CAWMP's. On fields in question the bermuda uw sprigged in the spring of 2001_ We planted matua as a cover crop in the fall and had a good stand We had to let the matua go to head so that it would re -seed itself for the next year_ The crop was removed in May of this year. We feel that the matua may have shaded the bermuda and not allowed the sunlight it needed to grow. This and the unusually dry weather, which kept the plant stressed, contributed to the lack of bermuda, noticed in the fields. We feel that we did everything possible to keep the bermuda alive_ We applied about sixty pounds of nitrogen to get the crop going and then applied eIDuentai a lower nitrogen rate to keep the crop wet. Even though we applied at agronomic rates the bermuda failed to survive in an amount that would constitute it being used as a receiving crop for animal waste. Our intentions are to correct the problem as soon as possible. We plan to harvest what forage is present through haying. We will not utilize the fields in question for the remainder of the bermuda season. We will assess our options during the next two months and plant a winter crop in September_ We are currently revising our waste plans and have yet to determine if we will leave all these fields in hay or switch some of them to row crops. It will depend on what the waste plans will allow. 1n the spring we will plant row crops or plant forage for haying. We feel that this is the best approach to solve the problem at this late time of the year. We hope this answers any questions you may have about our plans to correct the deficiencies, as well as plans for prevention in the future.

Only the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your Plan. An evaluation by Stoney Mathis on 11/10/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X"_ Category 1: The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Stoney Mathis the necessary information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre determination. Please submit. this information to Stoney Mathis, at 127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, NC 28405-3845, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any questions please contact Stoney Mathis at (910) 395-3900. If within 90 days you are unable to provide Stoney Mathis with the information you are automatically required to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2 below, within 180 days of receipt of this letter. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone 919-733-5083 Fax 919-715-6048 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10%a post -consumer paper Notification for Wettable Acre Determination Animal Waste Management System Page 2 Category 2: ❑ Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this designation, or a Professional Engineer. All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWQ within the next 180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation, and/or injunctive relief. Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification. 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.

Box 1076 Rose Hill, NC 28458 November 27, 2000 Mr. Stonewall Mathis NCDENR 127 North Cardinal Drive Wilmington, NC 28405 Dear Mr. Mathis, This letter is in response to your communication dated November 15, 2000 noting deficiencies at Section 2, sites 1-4. 1) The gamma fields have been cut and the hay removed since your visit. We will work on the weeds in the spring. There is no pumping activity on gamma in the winter. In regards to your concern about the gaps between the rows of gamma, the spacing is to provide the plant roots room to grow which is not unlike planting com or soybeans. There would be gaps between corn and soybean rows as well. During the summer, these gaps will be filled in with crabgrass or other volunteer grasses. 2) This .was an oversight when.the waste plan was revised on 6/1/00. ' The PAN was not exceeded on the field in question. The waste plan will be re -written to reflect the most current cropping pattern: . 3) The waste plan was revised on 6/l/00 to reflect the most current cropping system. Field # 11 is currently in the corn/rye rotation. -The waste plan you reviewed was' a 1998 plan which was revised on 5/12/99 to reflect the most current cropping system at that time which was a millet/rye rotation. A more current 1999 plan has been obtained from the LNM office at Murphy and enclosed for your review. The 1999 plan should have been in the book rather than the 1998 one. Based on the above information, we do not believe that we were deficient of Part II (2) of our General Permit. 4) There was a copy of the most recent General Permit on site. It was not located in the book which you reviewed because the permit which was found in the book was valid thru 12/31 /2001. At the time that the book was compiled, this was the valid permit. A new permit valid thru April 30, 2003 has been placed in the book. We do not feel that we were deficient of Part I Section 4 of our General Permit based on the fact that we did have a valid permit on site and could have produced it if asked. 5) We do not feel that we are deficient in Part III Section 3 of our General Pemiit. This section says nothing about a requirement of making sure that the crops listed on the soil sample match those listed in the waste plan. It asks that the results include pH, copper, and zinc. We are enclosing the results of a few, samples that were sent in this year along with the submission sheet. As you can see on the samples 02193, 03184, 03187, there was a crop code of 002 (corn silage) put down but the results came back as centipede (022). We also discussed, during the inspection, that there is not a crop'code listed for gamma grass or matua grass. Since there is not a crop code listed, the waste plan and the soil test results will not match. Any suggestion you may have in this area would be appreciated. - 6) We understand the need for the waste plan and the IRR'2 acreage to match. During the inspection, we explained that the problem was in the computer program. The acreage changed somewhat when a total station of the property was performed. if we change the acreage in the computer, it will change the historical record. We are currently in the process of conducting a F wettable acres determination on the facility. When we get the new acreage, then the waste plans will be updated. In addition, we are working on a new record -keeping program. However, with a facility this large, it will take time. Your patience in this matter is appreciated. 7) This is also a result of the computer program. We are working with a new program as we do the wettable acres. As explained earlier, if we change the crop codes in the current program, it will change the historical data. Although the listed crops are wrong, we at no time exceeded our PAN balance on the field in question. In summary, you may be assured that we are working on the problems as hard as we can. Wettable acre determinations are currently being performed on the entire DM facility. When this is completed, a new computer program will be utilized for the record keeping. The waste plans and the IRR 2 forms will then match. We feel that noting the problems on the inspection report and verbally discussing your concerns with us would have been sufficient. We anticipate that with time, you will certainly see an improvement in our records as well as in our fields.

The'plarit nutrients in the?animal waste should used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields wv iere the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the -mitine nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil -sa are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic ?L^s 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 ne :;rown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the prop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, !;;aching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. `:ormaily waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per ,ea-. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons De•r acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when he surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result ion runoff to surface waters ::which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be -onsidered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of !•v.rtrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should n� applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to -)taming. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor esiimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient r t -or this type of facility.

Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has and agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly dispose of waste, nelshe shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing himlher the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. a Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strip). Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. V`/aste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 3 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina- for guidance.) 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 crift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. Pages UTiLI�ZATION PLAN = _WASTE � s REQUIRE© SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 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 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 wither 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. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters, (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips), 12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13 .Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 1 -' 11,Jaste shall be applied in a manner no to reach other property and public right -of .ways. 5 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 wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by prior converted wetlands provided they 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 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. Page 6 18 Waste hackling 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. i 9 .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 is should only be applied perplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 20 Highly visible markers shal€ 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 markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 21 Waste shall be tested within 69 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 22 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

On November 7, 2000, Mr. Stonewall Mathis of the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality inspected the referenced animal operation and the animal waste management system serving this operation. During the inspection, Mr. Mathis observed the following: 1 } The gamma fields need to have a better establishment of gamma and need to be maintained including elimination of weeds and proper crop removal. These are deficiencies of Part 11. Operation and Maintenance Requirements. Sections 1 and 2 of the General Permit. 2) Field 2 is designated as gamma in the waste plan, but part of the field is planted in rye. This is a deficiency of Part I1(2) of the General Permit. 3) Field 1 I is designated as matua in the waste plan, but the records shovel that millet received animal waste application in this field in the summer of 1999. This is a deficiency of Part Il(2) of the General Permit. 127 North Cardinal Dr., Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 Telephone 910-395-3900 FAX 910-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50%, recycled/10% post -consumer paper Mr. A.1 Linton November 15, 2000 Page Two 4) A copy of the most recent General Permit needs to be included with the records in accordance with Part 1. Performance Standards, Section 4 of the General Permit. 5) Soil sample test results showed a different receiving crop for fields than that designated in the waste plan. The proper receiving crop needs to be designated on the soil samples for the waste receiving fields in accordance with Part 111. Monitoring and Reporting Requirements, Section 3 of the General Permit. 6) The acreage used for calculations on the IRR-2's differed from the acreage given in the waste plan. The acreage on the IRR-2's should be in agreement with the waste plan acreage in accordance with Part II1(5) of the General Permit, 7) Field I I is designated as corn (silage) in the waste plan, but the IRR-2 for this field list millet as the receiving_crop. Be sure that proper receiving crops are designated on the IRR-Ts in accordance with Part II1(5) of the General Permit. Please submit a Plan of Action which addresses the noted deficiencies and items. The Plan of Action should include a list of any and all modifications that have been and will be implemented to correct the noted deficiencies and items and prevent their recurrence along with a timetable for completion of the modifications.

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. 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, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding=at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen_ Either of these conditions may result ion runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. 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 applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Beginning in 1996 the Coastal Zone Management Act will require farmers in some eastern counties of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients.

Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has and agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - rdter Strip). 5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. E 6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) 7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application_ No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. 8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. Pages REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 9 Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10 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 wither cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips)_ 12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14 Waste shall be applied in a manner no to reach other property and public right -of ways. 15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialisf'. 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 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. Page 6 18 Waste hackling 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. 19 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 is should only be applied perplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 20 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 markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 21 Waste shall be tested within 69 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element_ Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 22 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.
