Failure of the Permittee to maintain, in full force and effect, lessee and landowner agreements, which are required in the CAWMP, shall constitute grounds for revocation of this Permit. 10. The issuance of this Permit does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances (local, state, and federal). 11. If animal production ceases, the Permittee is responsible for developing, implementing and completing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, erosion, and the potential for injury. Closure shall include notifying the Division. Should the Permittee desire to abandon the Waste -to -Energy System a "closure plan" must be submitted to the Division. The closure plan must include recommendations by a Professional Engineer for the removal of all equipment associated with the Waste -to - Energy System so as not to create any discharge. No equipment shall be removed without prior approval from the Division. 12. This Permit shall become voided unless the facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions of this Permit, the approved plans and specifications, and other supporting data. 13. This Permit is effective only with respect to the nature and volume of wastes described in the application and other supporting data for Circle K H Farm.

Upon receipt of the request, the Commission will review the adequacy of the facilities described therein, and if warranted, will extend the permit for such period of time and under such conditions and limitations as it may deem appropriate. 17. The issuance of this Permit does not prohibit the Division from reopening and modifying the Permit, revoking and reissuing the Permit, or terminating the Permit as allowed by the appropriate laws, rules, and regulations. 18. Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of five years or more, the Permittee must submit documentation to the Division demonstrating compliance with NC Session Law 2015-263. VII. PENALTIES Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this Permit; the facility's CAWMP; and/or applicable state law; may subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division including but not limited to the modification of the animal waste management system, civil penalties, criminal penalties and injunctive relief. 2. 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. 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.

Warsaw, NC 28458 TELEPHONE: (910) 293 4549 TYPE OPERATION: Feeder - Finish NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 16992 (Design Capacity) The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. 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 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. Ffn D E c 2 3 2009 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.

Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a. copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase In the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strip). 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 files. 8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. Page 5 . r a 0 •' a } c.� '��` 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 not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by 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 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 courses 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. Page 6 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced as necessary to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inwpected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. 18 1f animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure piano which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19 Waste handling structures, piping pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications animal waste during the crop season. 21 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and sod 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 soft shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metal 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. 23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Irrigation pipes should not be Installed In lagoon or storage pond embankments without the approval of the designer. NOTE: A buffer strip of 50' or wider must be maintained between the limits of the Irrigation system and all perennial streams and surface waters per NC Statutes. Sheet6 Narrative of Irrigation System Operation This system design Is for 3 Valley Model 8000 pivots, with lengths of 1219'(Pivot II), and 1622'(Pivot 1). These pivots will replace the use of hardhose travellers on this farm. Pivot I will operate in a 283 degree range. This travel path Is divided into two fields reflecting the growers planned cropping paterns. Field #1 as shown on the drawing Is 180 degrees, with an acreage of 98.5. Field #2 as shown is 103 degrees, with an acreage of 57.7. Pivot 11 will operate within a 306 degree range. This travel path is also divided into two fields reflecting the growers planned cropping patterns. Field 3 as shown on the drawing, is 148 degrees, with an acreage of 47.0. Field 4 as shown on the drawing Is 158 degrees, with an acreage of 48.6. Once again, no traveller pulls are included in this design, or the acreage. Field 5 is the full acreage of pivot ill'. Application ammounts can be varied on either machine down to .1" of application. For puposes of this design, no single application event should exceed .5". As with any pivot, application rates may exceed recommended soil application rates, however, limiting total appllcaUons to <.5" will offset this parameter. Water may be transferred between lagoons 1,2, and 3, however, lagoon 2 should always supply Plvot'I'. Refer to owner's manuals of pumps and pivots for startup, winterization, and maintanence schedules. Plvot'I&IV should be supplied by the Berkeley 84 pump only. Pivot'll' should be supplied by the Berkeley B3 pump only. Sheet?

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, 0-- when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. Page: 1 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN S. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. G. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied -not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC'2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 11232 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 21340.8 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 11232 hogs x 4.6 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 51667.2 lbs. PAN/year Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

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 4155.84 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 20779:2 pounds of PAN to'utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will reed 69.264 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 166.2336 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method cf land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is -installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and Page: 7 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN amounts o- nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for 180.00 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6.00 months. In no instance should the volume or the waste be stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist aster you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.

Kilpatrick: Alan W, Klimek, P_£- Director Division of Water Quality Your Animal Waste Management General NPDES Permit contains a condition that addresses the sludge survey requirement for the lagoon(s) at your animal feeding operation. Your NPDES Permit Number NCA231077 Condition I11.16, on page 10 states: "All facilities, which are issued a COC to operate under this permit, shall conduct a survey of the sludge accumulation in all lagoons within one (1) year of receiving the COC and every year thereafter. This survey shall include but not be limited to a sketch showing the depth of sludge in the various locations within each lagoon.

E., Director Division of Water Quality Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. NCA231077 Circle K Farm I & II Swine Waste Collection, Treatment, Storage and Application System Duplin County On March 14, 2003, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued an NPDES General Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued to enable swine facilities in North Carolina to obtain coverage under a single permit that addresses both State and Federal requirements. In accordance with your application received on April 30, 2003, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to David John Kilpatrick II, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with NPDES General Permit NCA200000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your COC Number AWS310077 to operate under State Non -Discharge Permit AWG100000. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Circle K Farm I & 11, located in Duplin County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 16992 Feeder to Finish swine and the application to land as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until July 1, 2007. Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC_ An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information " must beestablished for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals. Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed General Permit. Since this is a new joint State and Federal general permit it contains many new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the current State general permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay careful attention to the record kee in and monitoring conditions in this permit. The Devices to Automatically Sto Irrigation Events Form must be returned to the Division of Water Qualfty no later than 120 days following receipt of the Certificate of Coverage.

Warsaw, NC 28458 (910) 293 4549 Feeder - Finish NUMBER ORANIMALS: 16992 (Design Capacity) The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the, crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each -application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced -for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. 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 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. Page 1 Sheet6 Narrative of Irrigation System Operation This system design is for 2 Valley Model 8000 pivots, with lengths of 1219'(Pivot 11), and 1622'(Pivot 1). These pivots will replace the use of hardhose travellers on this farm. Pivot I will operate in a 283 degree range. This travel path is divided into two fields reflecting the growers planned cropping paterns. Field #1 as shown on the drawing is 180 degrees, with an acreage of 98.5. Field #2 as shown is 103 degrees, with an acreage of 57.7. Pivot II will operate within a 306 degree range. This travel path is also divided into two fields reflecting the growers planned cropping patterns. Field 3 as shown on the drawing, is 148 degrees, with an acreage of 47.0. Field 4 as shown on the drawing is 158 degrees, with an acreage of 48.6. Once again, no traveller pulls are included in this design, or the acreage. Application ammounts can be varied on either machine down to .1" of application. For puposes of this design, no single application event should exceed .5". As with any pivot, application rates may exceed recommended soil application rates, however, limiting total applications to <.5" will offset this parameter. Water may be transferred between lagoons 1,2, and 3, however, lagoon 2 should always supply Pivot T. Refer to owner's manuals of pumps and pivots for startup, winterization, and maintanence schedules. Pivot 'I' should be supplied by the Berkeley B4 pump only.

Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical idata, 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_ Page 5 #� �' 1111ASTE- UT L A ION P I:4 Y =Y- 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 not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by 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 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 courses 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. Page 6 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced as necessary to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. 18 If, animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19 Waste handling structures, piping pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications animal waste, during the crop season. 21 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage. (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metal 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. 23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Warsaw, NC 28458 (910) 293 4549 Feeder - Finish NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 16992 (Design Capacity) The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be groxtm. 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 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. 7 ' ? 1 2002 Pagel Amouni of Waste Producpd Pgg I t 16,992 animals X M (tons) wastelanimal/year = 32,285 (tons) waste/year.

Guide Std. 633) Tech 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: Table 1: Tract Field* Soil Crop ACRES OWNED BY PRODUCER Lbs.

Your facility is designed for 10 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every fj IViONTHS. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation "see lagoon design. 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: _ Acres shown are 'irrigated' acres with two Valley Pivots. All lagoons on the farm are connected. Grower should follow a corn, wheat, soybean rotation on all land. For management purposed, 2 fields should be in corn, 2 in soybeans each year. Page 4 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. _ 2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 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.) 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. Page 5 _ A TEyTlLI i rTlO PAIN..Fo_, =_...M. REQUI RED-SPECI FI CATIONS (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 faun shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by 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 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 courses 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. Page 6 REQUIRE[ -SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established- on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced as necessary to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. 18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19 Waste handling structures, piping pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption_ However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications animal waste during the crop season. 21 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds_ 22 Waste shall be tested withiri 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 soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metal 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. 23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

IRRIGATION SYSTEM DESIGNER Name: Kraig Westerbeek Company: Private Address: 1635 W. Wards Bridge Rd. Warsaw, NC 28458 Phone: (910) 293 6787 Required Documentation The following details of design and materials must accompany all irrigation designs: 1. A scale drawing of the proposed irrigation system which includes hydrant locations, pipelines, thrust;block locations and buffer areas where applicable. 2. Assumptions and computations for determining total dynamic head and horsepower requirements. 3. Computations used to determine all mainline and lateral pipe sizes. 4. Sources and/or calculations used for determining application rates. 5. Computations used to determine the size of thrust blocks and Illustrations of all thrust block configurations required in the system 6. Manufacturer's specifications for the Irrigation pump, traveler and sprinkler(s). 7. Manufacturer's specifications for the Irrigation pipe and/or USDA-NRCS standard for IRRIGATION WATER CONVEYANCE", 8. The information required by this form are the minimum requirements. It is the responsibility of the designer to consider all relevant factors at a particular site and address them as appropriate. 9. Irrigation pipes should not be installed in lagoon or storage pond embankments without the approval of the designer, NOTE: A buffer strip of 50' or wider must be maintained between the limits of the irrigation system and all perenniat streams and surface waters per NC Statutes. A U i Sheet6 Narrative of Irrigation System Operation This system design is for 2 Valley Model 8000 pivots, with lengths of 1219'(Pivot II), and 1622'(Pivot 1). These pivots will replace the use of hardhose travellers ,on this farm. Pivot I will operate in a 283 degree range. This travel path is divided into two fields reflecting the growers planned cropping paterns. Field #1 as shown on the drawing is 180 degrees, with an acreage of 98.5. Field #2 as shown is 103 degrees, with an acreage of 57.7. Pivot II will operate within a 306 degree range. This travel path is also divided into two fields reflecting the growers planned cropping patterns. Field 3 as shown on the drawing, is 148 degrees, with an acreage of 47.0. Field 4 as shown on the drawing is 158 degrees, with an acreage of 48.6. Once again, no traveller pulls are included in this design, or the acreage. Application ammounts can be varied on either machine dawn to Y' of application. For puposes of this design, no single application event should exceed .5". As with any pivot, application rates may exceed recommended soil application rates, however, limiting total applications to <.5" will offset this parameter. Water may be transferred between lagoons 1,2, and 3, however, lagoon 2 should always supply Pivot T. Refer to owner's manuals of pumps and pivots for startup, winterization, and maintanence schedules. Pivot T should be supplied by the Berkeley B4 pump only. Pivot'll' should be supplied by the Berkeley 63 pump only. `B.ERKELEX; MOTOR DRIVE CURVE 4075 DATE 08.01-97 PACE 9.03 SUPERSEDES NEW ii iiii�i�iii •tiiiiiiiiiiiri ' ,t , !si■eii���� �!rlsisiiiiiiiiiii:� iiii =i �����■ir�ns i�rsM�i�ir��iii��sMt i , • Mi , •, _ i � �ii� iiliiiiiiiliiiii � iiiiiiiiiiiii=ii aru•r"���iiiiiiiiiillisii �i��s i +�Mir���si,�-�+s■��r�,�s�w.�. r. • sar�ri■is�is ��a�i�i\'�E� �is�lii��\t��►'i Siiiisii w • js'S=i■mini!•►�i�iriiii��rw�\\�t�i_i_ii `�stitiiTM«i� iii1\ri \1`_� ��iii tt • �ii ��'��f��.`�1r■M s\slio�i��i\r ��l1A�ii� obQ%----mMIN f�i rMs►�r_�� mpmm11m�►�=Lu:�ii �.lr! o ������_i��i\tzrllTlllii .rMtr l..kZ!%!►_=wsa_�siiG►711i�r�:r = � �i��i�i�ti iii111i� � isii M•�r i iiii'ii 'iila���ii���i� ��r`s►=.M•i , i����S'i��i►�r'i iiliiii i� n i• ii�i�m i!l�==0iam.*lii�iww � msi�� f t It , 1,1 t 11 1 g To WeJZ ([r?zz) PIVOT BERKELEY PUMPS PE "B" RATING CURVES MOTOR DRIVE CURVE 4075 DATE 1-2-86 PAGE 4.02 SUPERSEDES All previousissued 4075 Curves M.WW C-1.

Warsaw, NC 28458 (910) 293 4549 Feeder - Finish NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 16992 (Design Capacity) The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. 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 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.

THIS TABLE IS NOT NEEDED IF WASTE IS NOT BEING APPLIED BY IRRIGATION, HOWEVER A SIMILAR TABLE WILL BE NEEDED FOR DRY LITTER OR SLURRY. Your facility is designed for M days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every !z MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation i 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: Acres shown are 'irrigated' acres with two Valley Pivots. All lagoons on the farm are connected. Grower should follow a corn, wheat, soybean rotation on all land. For management purposed, 2 fields should be in corn, 2 in soybeans each year. Page 4 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use' of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 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). 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_) 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. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. Page 5 REQUIRED 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 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 follo'ning. The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips)_ 12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by 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 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 courses 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_ Page 6 1" ' a REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced as necessary to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. 18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which -will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19 Waste handling structures, piping pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption: However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications animal waste during the crop season. 21 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metal 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. 23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludgWresiduals, and commercial fertilizers. Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRRI, HUU, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2, SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an appropriate enforcement action. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting requirement.

Upon reviewing your irrigation records it was determined that you had applied approximately 601bslac of nitrogen (waste) on Pull W-1 between 1/30-2/24/98. This application was on bermuda fields without a small grain overseed and is a violation of your General Permit and certified Waste Utilization Plan. In addition, 34 lbslac of nitrogen was over -applied to wheat on Pull T-2 which must be subtracted from the next crop rotation. NRCS standards require that waste must be applied at agronomic rates and times to insure that nitrogen will be properly utilized by the cover crop. It is highly recommended that a small grain overseed be planted to some degree if no other crop is present to allow application of waste should it be required during the winter months. Such applications in the future could generate a Notice of Violation and carry an enforcement action including a civil penalty. Please read the information sent with your general permit thoroughly as it contains additional compliance requirements and important statements. As a reminder, DWQ at the Wilmington Regional Office must be notified by you if the freeboard level rises above the required 19 or 26 inches (in the red zone) for facilities with a 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 John Kilpatrick September 28, 1998 Page 2 To remain a 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.

It was observed that no irrigation records were on site documenting waste application. NRCS-USDA standards specify that waste application records be kept on site to log actual application rates. These records should include the application date and time, where the waste was applied, how much was applied, and an up to date waste analysis. In addition, the inlet pipes in lagoon #1 should be extended and the erosion areas backfilled with a suitable clay material and reseeded with an appropriate vegetative cover. Erosion areas on the inner wall of lagoon #2 and in a storm water diversion adjacent to the lagoon should be filled with clay and reseeded. Bare areas on both lagoons should be reseeded. Markers indicating minimum and maximum liquid levels should be installed in both lagoons, and the bermuda grass crop should be improved.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 result in the facility losing it's deemed permitted status, requiring it to obtain an individual non discharge permit.

Wilmington, NC 28405 Dear Mr. Holsinger, This letter is to verify the chronological events that have occurred on my farm due to the planned expansion of my swine facilities. There have been several documents generated throughout this process copies will be noted in the text and enclosed for your review. 1991 The Lagoon is under construction, there are thoughts of future expansion so the decision is made to construct the lagoon much larger than is planned. There becomes available the opportunity to use fly -ash material from my employer, Cogentrix, as pad fill for future expansion. However, if fly -ash is used there must also be available earth fill for proper construction and seeding requirements. As a result, a permit is applied for and granted on 10/21/91 to excavate 3 acres of wetlands, the fill of which will be used for construction purposes on the pads (document included). Lagoon is completed in the Fall of 1991. 1992 Started excavating wetland exemption area. Small portions of fly -ash material is being hauled into the area throughout 1992; however, no documentation is generated since they do not exceed regulatory amounts. Lagoon is construction checked on 11/17/92 by Soil & Water Conservation_ (reference the field book copy) 1993 Fly -ash and earth fill material are being moved about as time permits throughout 1993. A document is generated and signed by me to receive larger amounts of fly -ash the amounts would later exceed regulatory amounts. (document included) 1994 An Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan is generated by Appian Engineers on the fill areas as required by law. This plan was initiated by ReUse Technologies. (visual map included and dated 3/24/94) 1995 ReUse Technologies continues to haul material throughout 1995. 1996 ReUse completes project and explains in detail what has taken place and the requirements that were met by both involved parties.

As I understand, Mr. Kilpatrick received a design from USDA-SCS (now NRCS) in 1989 for a capacity of 3672 animals. At the time of construction Mr. Kilpatrick over built the lagoon size. However, while current rules would require that these lagoons in be lined, neither lagoon has a liner. In 1994 USDA- SCS provided a waste management plan to Mr. Kilpatrick recognizing a capacity of 4896. The registration form returned to the Division in 1993 states a system design capacity of 4900 animals. Mr. Kilpatrick claims that it has been his intention since construction of the lagoon to increase to 6336 animals at this site.

Wilmington, NC 28405 Dear Mr. Holsinger, This letter is to verify the chronological events that have occurred on my farm due to the planned expansion of my swine facilities. There have been several documents generated throughout this process copies will be noted in the text and enclosed for your review. 1991 The Lagoon is under construction, there are thoughts of future expansion so the decision is made to construct the lagoon much larger than is planned. There becomes available the opportunity to use fly -ash material from my employer, Cogentrix, as pad fill for future expansion. However, if fly -ash is used there must also be available earth fill for proper construction and seeding requirements. As a result, a permit is applied for and granted on 10/21/91 to excavate 3 acres of wetlands, the fill of which will be used for construction purposes on the pads (document included). Lagoon is completed in the Fall of 1991. 1992 Started excavating wetland exemption area. Small portions of fly -ash material is being hauled into the area throughout 1992; however, no documentation is generated since they do not exceed regulatory amounts. Lagoon is construction checked on 11/17/92 by Soil & Water Conservation. (reference the field book copy) 1993 Fly -ash and earth fill material are being moved about as time permits throughout 1993. A document is generated and signed by me to receive larger amounts of fly -ash the amounts would later exceed regulatory amounts. (document included) 1994 An Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan is generated by Appian Engineers on the fill areas as required by law. This plan was initiated by ReUse Technologies. (visual map included and dated 3/24/94) 1995 ReUse Technologies continues to haul material throughout 1995. 1996 ReUse completes project and explains in detail what has taken place and the requirements that were met by both involved parties. I hope this will help you in the assessment of the situation. A timely response would be greatly appreciated.

The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H .0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty. If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office. Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996. Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this requirement please call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt of our staff at 919/733-0026.

There is existing MRCS as -built information and the original waste plan for the facility also included is updated information tharwe have created on the facility. In the August 28 letter you mentioned two controlling factors for this case, the first being lagoon volume in order to accommodate the waste from the additional animals the second concerned land that was contained in the original waste plan. The as-builts volumes for both NRCS checks and ours seem to coincide and we have put together an updated waste plan which shows how John Kilpatrick can use the same land in his original plan to accommodate the waste from the additional 1440 hogs. Please note that none of the updated information we have created will become valid or be turned in to the district for review until a written response is received clarifying this particular case.

The plan is bared on the soil types, crops to be gr u-,vin, and method of application tor- your particular operation. The waste must_ be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of srar=face and/or-- groundwater. The plant nmt-r=ients in the animal waste should be Used to -reduce the amount of C-omrfterclal fertilizer regquired for_ the crops in the fields Where the waste is to be applied. This waste utiliZation plan uses nitreuer, as the limiting nutrient. Wiiste should be analy-zed before each, application and annual soil tests ar•-e encour-ageb so that all plant nutr-ients and lime can be balanced for- realistic: yield of the crops to be grown. Several factor--s are important in implementing yoJ_Er- witSte r.Itiliz4ation plan in order- to maximize the fertilizer- value of the waste and to ensr_tr--e that it is applied in an c:rlviron— mentall•y safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Tine amount of available nitrogen for plant use is dependant on the method of application. Soil type is impor-•tar,t d!_ke to different leaching potential and yield potential. Waste hall not be applied to land eroding at gr^eate-r, than 5 tons per acre per-- year. Coo not apply waste on saturated sails or on land when the s, r=face is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in rr_LnOfi- tc s ir-1"a e waters. �i1nd C++fi+�1t1 r,5 tisf_'s�.t� also be considered to avoid drift and downwi.rrd odor-- pr-oblems. To maximize the value of the nut•r'itn'+`s for Crop pr oductiQn and redr_ice the potential for pollution, waste- should be applied to a gr^ol•11ng crop, Or not mare than 30 daYs prior to pl-liting. Soil incorporation of the waste will conserve nutr^cents and •red'_ice odor problems. The acres needed to apply the animal waste are based on typical nutr^ien=. content for this type of facility.

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 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 pre- cautions, 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-pr6blems. 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 to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to inject the waste in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating waste are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage require- ments 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. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Page.2 AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (GALLONS, FT3, TONS, ETC.) 11232 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 21340.8 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT.AVAILABLE NITROGEN -(PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 11232 hogs x 2.3 PAN/hogs/year = 25833.6 lbs. PAN/year Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filter -strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due.to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. NOTE: 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 pounds of plant, available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting the sludge equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water. 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. 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 waste being stored in your structure be within 1.7 feet of the top of the dike. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Page.5 If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of -Nitrogen shown.in the tables may make this plan invalid Call your Agriment Services representative for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to beginning the application of your waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION: �T r S a k •e �i GCorr�G !.2.32 N 3/- 7 N ee I -io7) .! a sJs WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Page-6 Plans and 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. Illegal discharges are subject to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Local NRCS office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expetancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an updated 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, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. (See FOTG Standard 393-Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. 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" in the NRCS Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance. 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infil- tration 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 conditions conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall event, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Page. 7 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 releassed nutrients. -Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a crop on bare soil. 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See standard 393 - Filter Strips) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right -of ways. 15. Animal waste shall not -be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by 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 a "techinal specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge into water courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the application 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. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a_ maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. 18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and and shall be fenced, as necessary to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. 19. 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. . 20. 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.

Hunt, Jr., Governor Jonathan B. Howes, Secretary A. Preston Howard, Jr., P.E., Director November 17, 1993 John Kilpatrich PO Box 645 Kenansville NC 28349 Dear Mr. Kilpatrich: T45�4' pv� Gib j EDIHNF=I This is to inform you that your completed registration form required by the recently modified nondischarge rule has been received by the Division of Environmental Management (DEM), Water Quality Section. On December 10, 1992 the Environmental Management Commission adopted a water quality rule which governs animal waste management systems. The goal of the rule is for animal operations to be managed such that animal waste is not discharged to surface waters of the state. The rule allows animal waste systems to be "deemed permitted" if certain minimum criteria are met (15A NCAC 2H .0217). By submitting this registration you have met one of the criteria for being deemed permitted. We would like to remind you that existing. feedlots which meet the size thresholds listed in the rule, and any new or expanded feedlots constructed between February 1, 1993 and December 31, 1993 must submit a signed certification form to DEM by December 31, 1997. New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31, 1993 must obtain signed certification before animals are stocked on the farm. Certification of an approved animal' waste management plarrcan be obtained after the Soil and Water Conservation Commission adopts rules later this year. We appreciate you providing us with this information. If you have any question about the new nondischarge rule, please contact David Harding at (919) 733-5083.
