Wean to Finish: 0 Feeder to Finish: 4896 Boar/Stud: 0
Wean to Feeder. 0 Farrow to Wean: 0 Gilts: 0
Farrow to Finish: 0 Farrow to Feeder' 0
If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows.
Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows
may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009 and replaces the NPDES
COC issued to this facility with an expiration date of July 1, 2007. You are required to continue
conducting annual surveys of sludge accumulation in all lagoons at your facility; the one-year extension
in Condition Ill. 19 does not apply.
Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the
conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An
adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information
must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design
capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a
modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either
wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is
a package containing the new and revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay

The waste from your animal fa«Tdy 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 fierfiTaw required for the crops in the fields where the waste is
to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the lie" nutrient. Waste should be
analyzed before each apPlrcation cycle. Annual soil tests aria 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 ud7ization 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 riot apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Sotll types are
important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange
capacities, and available water hokrmg capacities. Norrrrally waste shall not be applied to land
eroding at greater than 5 tons per acme 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. Wad conditions should also be
considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To mare 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. ligec Ling the
waste or disking wig 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 infbnrabon an proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis.
This waste utTrzation plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
21-1.0217 adopted by the Errvironmental Management Commission.

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 property 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 infittration rate such that runoff
does not occur offske 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 Ries.
8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.
Page 5

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
domnancy.
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 dweilings other than those
owned by the landowner.
14 Waste shall be applied In a manner not to mach 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 speciaiW.
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.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
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.
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 it should only be applied propellant with no further applications 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 the 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 soil shah be monitored and alternative crop sues
shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. Sol 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_

RE: Sludge Survey Testing Dates
Facility # 3184-
Duplin County
Dear Stewart Stroud:
RIMMVED
DEC Z 9 2M
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your sludge survey information on
December 22, 2004. With your results, you requested that a sludge survey for the lagoon at
Stewart Stroud Farm 1 & 2 not be required for 3 - 4 years. Due to the amount of treatment
volume available in Lagoon 4113, DWQ agrees that a sludge survey is not needed until 2007.
The results of the 2007 sludge survey for Lagoon 4113 are to be submitted with the Annual
Certification Form that will be due on March 1, 2008.
However, Lagoon 2587 has a higher level of sludge built up. DWQ feels that a sludge
survey for this lagoon should be performed no later than December 31, 2006. The results of the
2006 sludge survey for Lagoon 2587 should be submitted with the Annual Certification Form
that will be due on March 1, 2007.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions, please call me at
[phone].

Facility Number 31-84
Duplin County
A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal
Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. 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 Dean Hunkele on 6/9/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your facility
that receive animal waste during Iand 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 Dean Hunkele the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to Dean Hunkele, 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 Dean Hunkele at [phone]. If within 90 days you
are unable to provide Dean Hunkele 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.

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 Consecration 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 irrigafion 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.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Sonya Avant of our

Narrative of Irrigation System Operation
This system is designed based on 'wetted' acres. Grower is currently using above ground aluminum pipe
for irrigation conveyence. This design allows for an underground system as shown.
The grower is familiar with the operation of the equipment specified. As shown in the drawing, most pulls
require a change in arc setting during operation. The operator must make these changes in arc angle to effectively
wet the area shown.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 31-84
Duplin County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRR1, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRYS, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the

Dear Messrs. Stroud:
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study
Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly,
requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more
swine by January 1, 1997. The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a
designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an
Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form 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 9191733-0026.

I (we) understand the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste
management plan for the farm named above and will implement these procedures. I (we) know that any
expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and storage system or construction of new
facilities will require a new certification to be submitted to the Division of Environmental Management
before the new animals are stocked. I (we) also understand that there must be no discharge of animal waste
from this system to surface waters of the state either directly through a man-made conveyance or through
runoff from a storm event less severe that the 25-year, 24-hour storm. The approved plan will be filed at the
farm and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District.

All statements checked apply to this certification:
The installed irrigation system has not been evaluated concerning nozzle size, spray pattern, spacing, pump size, pipe size,
etc. It_is the. responsibility of the producer to operate the system with the proper components and to supply the required
maintenance to assure 'that no runoff occurs. The producer is encouraged to have an irrigation specialist, possibly the dealer
where the system was purchased, prepare an operation and maintenance plan for the irrigation system so that the producer
knows how to operate the equipment to meet the non -discharge requirements.
The waste management plan for.tfiis operation is based upon yields higher than what is now recommended by NRCS;
however, these yields ard obtainable under high, levels of management. Tbis increase in projected yields is necessary since
the NRCS plan prepared for this operation at the time of construction was based upon these higher yields and the producer
followed MRCS guidelines when building this operation.
Because of limited acres for land application, and because the original MRCS waste utilization plan did not require
additional acres for buffers and irrigation inefficiency, it may be necessary for the producer to operate half sprinklers, on
solid set systems, along field edges and ditches. Also for traveling irrigation systems, a pull directly adjacent to the ditch with
only a 180 degree pumping radius may be needed to irrigate the entire field. Extreme caution should be exercised when
applying waste close to ditches and wetlands to avoid any discharge.
CERTIFICATION FOR EXISTING FEEDLOTS
D;STRUCTIONS FOR CERTIFICATION OF APPROVED ANIMAL WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANS FOR EXISTING ANIMAL
WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS SERVING FEEDLOTS
REQUIREMENTSIPURPOSE
In order to be deemed permitted by the Division of Environmental Management (DEM), the owner of any existing animal waste
management system constructed and operational before January 1, 1994 which is designed to serve greater than or equal to the animal
ovulations listed below is required to submit a signed certification form to DEM before January 1, 1998. Pasture operations are exempt
rom the requirement to be certified.
100 head of cattle
75 horses .
250 swine
1,000 sheep
30,000 birds with a liquid waste system
The certification must be signed by the owner of the feedlot (and manager if different from the owner) and by any technical specialist
designated by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission pursuant to 15A NCAC 6F .0001-.0005. The technical specialist must verify
that all applicable operation and maintenance standards and specifications can be met. Existing systems are not required to meet design
and construction standards and specifications.
although the actual number of animals on the facility may vary from time to time, the design capacity of the waste handling system should
le used to determine if a farm is subject to the certification requirement. For example, if the waste system for a feedlot is designed to
:cradle 300 hogs but the average population will be 200 hogs, then the waste management system requires a certification.
"iris certification is required by regulations governing animal waste management systems adopted by the Environmental Management
.ommission (EMC) on December 10, 1992 (Title 15A NCAC 2H .0217).
.ERTIFICATION FORM
n the reverse side of this page is the certification form which must be submitted to DEM before January 1, 1998. Assistance in
°ornpleting the form can be obtained from one of the local agricultural agencies such as the Soil and Water Conservation District, the

Dear Mr. Stroud,
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
l-anagVlent planw�V V after ZheSoil yl at.er �1"�1i 1�o n adopts
ptJ
rules later this year.
We appreciate you providing us with this information. If you have any question about
the new nondischarge rule, please contact David Harding at [phone].
Sincerely,
Steve Tedder, Chief
