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 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 fertidzer 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 DWO
regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift
and downwind odor problems, 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 C.'' :ter
not more than 30 days priorto planting. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. APR q 6 'L009
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 21-1.02W adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission_ RECEIVED I DENR / DWQ

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 fikely 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 3 , . 1.y 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, maybe 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 atthe 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 _4.� feet of the top of the dike.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN

If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation desigr signer 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: SEE ATTACHMENT

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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 Water Quality 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 property dispose of waste. If the producer does not own adequate
land to property 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 expectancy 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 fitter 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 off -site 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.
6. 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 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.
Page 6

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Page 7
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring
planted crops on sails 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 shag 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 maybe 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, drainage ways,
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 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 wash down 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.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLATY

21. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and
other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste
is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied
pre plant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop
season.
22. 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.
23. Waste shall be tested within sixty days of utilization and soil shall
be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are
applied_ Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc
and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop
sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH
and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry
waste application records shall be maintained for three years. Waste
application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five
years.
24. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North
Carolina State regulations or other States' regulations.

THIS PLAN IS A REVISION OF THE 4115196 PLAN COMPLETED BY BOYCE BOYETTE.
THIS PLAN DEPICTS THE WETTABLE ACRES ON THE FARM AND DISPLAYS THE
SAME IN THE CALCULATION TABLES.
THIS WASTE PLAN REPRESENTS A COMPLETE TWO-YEAR ROTATION OF THE
CROPLAND AND HAYLAND. THE PAN HAS BEEN DOUBLED TO REPRESENT PAN
ACCUMALATION FOR TWO -YEARS. THE ACREAGES OF THE HAYLAND WITH
SMALL GRAIN OVERSEED HAVE BEEN DOUBLED IN THIS PLAN TO TAKE UP THE
NUTRIENTS FOR A TWO-YEAR PERIOD, BECAUSE THESE CROPS DO NOT CHANGE
IN TWO YEARS. THE CROPLAND REPRESENTS THE USE OF A CORN/WINTER
ANNUAL/SOYBEAN ROTATION. THE ACTUAL ACREAGES ARE USED FOR THE
CROPLAND, BECAUSE THE CROPS CHANGE EVERY OTHER YEAR. ACREAGES
MAY BE CONFUSING BY SEEING DOUBLE THE ACREAGES FOR THE TWO-YEAR
ROTATION REVERT TO MAP FOR ACTUAL ACRES USED.
THE CROPLAND FIELDS IN THIS PLAN ARE NOT NEEDED TO FULFILL. THE
AGRONOMIC REQUIREMENTS OF THIS FARM. THEY ARE INCLUDED IN THE
TABLES OF THE WASTE PLAN AS CORN/WA/SB ROTATION; HOWEVER, MR.
LANIER HAS FLEXIBILITY TO PLANT ANY CROP HE SO DESIRES AND MAY APPLY
CROPS OTHER THAN CORN, WINTER ANNUALS OR SOYBEANS AS LONG AS A PAN
RATE IS SPECIFIED BY TECH SPEC AND NO APPLICATION TO CROPS THAT DO NOT
HAVE REALISTIC YIELDS OTHER THAN PREPLANT.
ALL FIELDS MUST MEET MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS WHEN
USED. MR LANIER PLANS TO APPLY HIS WASTE IN ACCORDANCE WITH HIS
SPECIFIC WASTE ANALYSIS NOT TO EXCEED THE HYDRAULIC LOADING OF THE
SOILS.

Subject: Phosphorus Loss Assessment Tool
Richard Lanier Hog Farm
Permit Number NCA231134
Duplin County
Dear Mr. Lanier:
The Division's records show that a completed PLAT Form has NOT been submitted for this facility. An
extension from the due date of July 8, 2005 was requested and ample time has been allowed for submittal. If
our records are in error please resubmit the completed PLAT Form for this farm. If the PLAT Form has not
been submitted, please do so by October 1, 2006.
Condition 1.6 of your NPDES Permit states: "If prior to the expiration date of this permit either the state or
federal government establishes Phosphorus loss standards that are applicable to land application activities at a
facility operating under this permit, the Permittee must conduct an evaluation of the facility and its CAWMP
under the requirements of the Phosphorus loss standards to determine the facility's ability to comply with the
standards. This evaluation must be documented on forms supplied or approved by the Division and must be
submitted to the Division. This evaluation must be completed by existing facilities within six (6) months of
receiving notification from the Division.
The method of evaluation is the Phosphorous Loss Assessment Tool (PLAT) developed by NC State University
and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. PLAT addresses four potential loss pathways: leaching,
erosion, runoff and direct movement of waste over the surface. Each field must be individually evaluated and
rated as either low, medium, high or very high according to its Phosphorus loss potential. The ratings for your
farm must be reported to DWQ using the attached certification form. The PLAT forms must be kept as records
on your farm for future reference.
Please be advised that this notice does not prevent the Division of Water Quality from taking enforcement
actions for any past or future violation. Furthermore, the Division of Water Quality has the authority to levy a
civil penalty of not more than $25,000.00 per day per violation.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please do not hesitate to contact Duane Leith at [phone]
or contact the Wilmington Regional Office at [phone]. Thank you for your cooperation.

Dear Sir or Madam:
On March 23, 2003, a representative of your animal operation informed the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) that there was inadequate freeboard in the lagoon(s) serving this facility.
This lack of adequate freeboard is in non-compliance with the Certificate of Coverage
issued to this facility on August 17, 1998. In addition to this Notice of Violation (NOV), this
non-compliance is subject to an appropriate enforcement action by DWQ. This action can
consist of one or more of the following: a civil or criminal enforcement action; an injunction;
and/or a requirement to apply for coverage under an individual permit. The action chosen will
be based on complete evaluation of all factors that resulted in the inadequate freeboard; the
actions taken to restore the needed freeboard; and the actions being proposed to prevent the
problem from reoccurring.
To assist us in our review, please provide the Wilmington Regional Office with an
evaluation of the reasons for the freeboard violation(s) and a strategy to prevent future freeboard
violation(s). This evaluation and strategy must include but is not limited to the following -
Current Freeboard level(s) .

Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System
Richard Lanier Hog Farm
Facility Number 31-134
Duplin County
Dear Richard Lanier:
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 Patrick Fussell on 6/14/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your
facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of
the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X".
Category 1:
The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please
contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Patrick Fussell the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to Patrick Fussell, 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 Patrick Fussell at [phone].' If within 90 days
you are unable to provide Patrick Fussell 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 Determinabons. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension
Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special
designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this
designation, or a Professional Engineer.
All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and
the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWQ within the next
180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the
required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility
into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation,
and/or injunctive relief.
Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable
Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please
note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all
the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan
must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will
review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by
kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install
or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer
must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Sonya Avant of our

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. 1RR1, iRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting

Dear Mr. Helminger,
RECEIVED
MAR 1 11 1998
BY:
This letter is to address the 2/17/98 annual inspection that was conducted for the Richard
Lanier facility (FN 31-134).
Farm 31-134 had one deficiency:
1. The lagoon was not in compliance with NRCS guidelines because it had less than 19
inches of freeboard.
Given the inclement weather, Mr. Lanier has found several appropriate times to apply
waste to his spray fields. Waste was applied to small grain on 2/22/98 and applied during
the thirty -day shadow for bermuda on 3/l/98, 3/2/98, and 3/5/98. There was a 2-inch
rainfall event on 3/8/98; however, on 3/9/98 Mr. Lanier was in compliance with MRCS
guidelines by having 20 inches of freeboard.
I hope this information will address the Notice of Deficiency noted, If you have any
questions please feel free to call.

Richard Lanier Hog Farm
Facility Number: 31-134
Duplin County
Dear Mr. Lanier:
On February 17, 1998, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality inspected your animal operation and the lagoon serving this operation. During
the inspection, it was observed that your lagoon had less than 19 inches of available freeboard.
While no discharge of waste was observed to waters of the State at the time of inspection,- any
rainfall event could likely result in the discharge of waste from the lagoon. The level of your
lagoon should be lowered and maintained in accordance with the NRCS guidelines and the
state 2H .0200 rules governing animal waste management systems.
USDA-NRCS guidelines require a minimum of one foot and seven inches of freeboard.
This is based on the amount of storage space needed to contain a 25-year, 24 hour design
storm event without a discharge. NRCS requirements also specify that animal waste shall be
applied on actively growing crops and that waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter
for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading
rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to
take up released nutrients.

To remain a deemed permitted facility, all corrective actions must be made within twenty
one (21) days of the receipt of this notice. Failure to do so may result in the facility losing its
deemed permitted status, requiring it to obtain an individual non discharge permit.
Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes to discharge waste
water to the surface waters of the State without a permit. The Division of Water Quality has
the authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $10,000 per day per violation.
When the corrective actions are complete, you must notify this office in writing. If you

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 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 9-.-own 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 infilitration
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 problems. 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 prclblem.-s.
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.

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.

Indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. interplanted)
or winter annuals follow summer annuals.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded
in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing,
hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed
when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle
should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four
inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed
for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small
grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too
high and this will definitely interfere with the stand of
bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced
yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than
cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as
is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small
grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or
silage two to three times during the season, depending on
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to inter -plant small grain, erc, is late
September or early October. Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a
height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

overseeding.

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 1358.64 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. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well
special 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 irriga:,4 on 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.
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. Failu:te to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report
for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper
application rate prior to applying the waste.

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 Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that
the producer either has 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 expectancy of the production
facility. 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, climate conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that
restrict the rate of application for other nutrients.
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 ---illed 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
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 conditions conducive to odor or flies
and to provide uniformity of application.
B. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively grow- r-.g crops in
such a manner that no mor.-'than 20 to 25 percei_, of the leaf
area is covered.

WASTE UTILIZATION PL PAGE 8
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 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 wasters,
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 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 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 imple-
menting 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.

System Calibration
Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation
conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates
change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular,
pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use,
nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the
discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter.
You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the
design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the
application uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure
results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the
sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged
intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating
below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application
uniformity.
For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to
ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every
three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at
several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to
collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because
they already have a graduated sca'.e from which to read the.application amount
without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets,
jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used provided
the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring.
For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly
throughout the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling
guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction of
pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both sides of
the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for all
nonuniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers
of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation
dealer or technical specialist for assistance.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority. It is especially
important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and
wet periods.
Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the
receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are
extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means
that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to
a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to
receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet
periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low
marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to
maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste
utilization plan will allow it.
-- Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to
irrigate does not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods.
Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of
state law and subject to penalty action.
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam.
Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative
covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to
maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be
based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain
a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas
should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or
equivalent.
Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be
done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of
these practices. This should be done at least once a year and
possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for
heavy vegetative growth.
NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter
the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating
the waste.
Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of
the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be
checked should include, as a minimum, the following:
Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes ---look for:
i . separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4. overall condition of pipes

Lagoon surface ---look for:
1. undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
Embankment —look for:
1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes
2. side slope stability ---slumps or bulges
3. , wet or damp areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam.
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the lagoon may be
used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your lagoon has
any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and
construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a threat
of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps ---check for proper operation of:
1. recycling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding
noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or
replacement.
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you
are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your pumping
system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its Iow level. This will allow some
safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time
to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full,
your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare
parts or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all'surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets,
and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste
treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be
coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing
(washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly.
You should inspect your diversion system for the following:
1. adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3. ridge berm height

Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping): This will
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the
lagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoon Operation
Startup:
1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to 'avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before
waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the
end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial
filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of
the lining.
4. When possible, begin Ioading new lagoons in the spring to maximize
bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather).
5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon
liquid volume. This seeding should occour at least two weeks prior to the
addition of wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below
7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid
pH is between 7.5 and 8.0.
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate
biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended
if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm
season.
Loading:
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the
lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are
optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained
and recharged each day, also work well.

Practice water conservation ---minimize building water usage and
spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through
proper maintenance and water conservation.
Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This
will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon
Management:
Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and
the full temporary storage level.
Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the
minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1).
Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on
nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage
will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly,
irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon
storage for the winter.
The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest
point of the dam or embanlanent.
Do not pump the lagoon liquid Ievel Iower that the permanent storage
level unless you are removing sludge.
Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid
surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible.
Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation,
molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon.
Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are installed.
Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges.
Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment.
Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is
full or before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume.
If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a
pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:

proper lagoon sizing, me hhaanical solids separation of flushed waste,
gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
Hire a custom applicator.
. Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller
- pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland;
and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul
and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm
an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back
into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader
onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field -and crop
requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close
attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains
intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should
stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be
removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content
than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus
and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, -and incorporated to reduce the chance of
erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphores, it
should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other
wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
could increase the concern of neighbors.

Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types
of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the
dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for
ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include:
Modification of the lagoon structure ---an example is the placement of a pipe
in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in
lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams.)
. Lagoon liquid levels ---high levels are a safety risk.
Failure to inspect and maintain the dam.
Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon.
Liner integrity ---protect from inlet pipe scouring, damage during sludge
removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater
table.
NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon cause
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large discharge
of wastewater and possible dam failure.

Duplin County
Dear Mr. Lanier:
On November 6, 1997, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality inspected your animal operation and the lagoon serving this operation. During the
inspection, it was observed that soybeans and wheat have been grown in spray fields designated
as corn in your certified animal waste management plan. Your certified plan should be modified
to account for these cropping options.
In addition, it was observed that erosion cuts on the inner wall of your lagoon could
eventually threaten the integrity of the structure. These cuts should be properly filled and
revegetated immediately. We suggest that you contact your service company, local NRCS office,
or Soil and Water District office for any assistance they may be able to provide to correct these
situations.
You must notify this office in writing within fourteen (14) days of the receipt of this notice,
what actions are being taken to correct these deficiencies. Failure to do so may result in the facility
losing its deemed permitted status and being required to obtain an individual non discharge permit.

Dear Mr. Lanier:
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

Pursuant to N. C. G. S. 143-215.6A(f)
File No. CF 94-02
(DupiiH-County
Dear Mr. Burrows:
Your request for remission has been placed on the agenda for the October 13, 1994,
meeting of the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions. The Committee will convene immediately following the closing of the regularly
scheduled business meeting of the Environmental Management Commission in the Ground Floor
Hearing Room of the Archdale Building located at 512 North Salisbury Street, Raleigh, North
Carolina (see enclosed map). You should arrive no later than 11:00 am.
The factors to be considered by the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions are whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-282.1(b) were
wrongly applied to the detriment of the petitioner,
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or the result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
The Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions may remit none of the penalty, a part of the
penalty, or the entire penalty. The entire amount of the penalty can only be remitted when the
violator has not been assessed civil penalties for previous violations, and when payment of the
civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions.

FINAL DECISION ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT'
COMMISSION
`11IS MAT''ER came before the Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions of the Environmental Management Commission, pursuant
to N.C.G.S. 143-21.5.6A and 143B-282.1, on October 13, 1994, upon
recommendation of the Director of the Division of Environmental
Management for entry of a final decision on the assessment of
civil penalties and investigation costs against Richard f. Lanier
in the amount of $3,603.28 ($6,000.00 plus $603.28 investigative
costs). Richard Lani_er's request for remission was presented to
the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions for consideration. The
Division of Environmental Management was represented by Mr. Rick
Shiver, Regional Supervisor in the Wilmington Regional Office,
and Richard F. Lanier was represented by Richard Burrows, Esquire
of Wallace, North Carolina.
Having considered the record, arguments of the parties, and
the factors set forth in N.C.G.S. 143B-282.1(b) and (c), the Com-
mittee on Civil Penalty Remissions finds the facts contained in
the Director's Findings and Decision and Assessment. of Civil Pen-
alties -as stipulated by Richard F. Lanier, and that the Director
properly applied the criteria set forth _i_n N.C.G.S. 143B-282.1 in
determining the amount of the civil penalties. The Committee

r -M
-2-
further finds that there are grounds for remission or reduction
of the penalties assessed by the Director for the reason that
Richard Lanier, believing wastewater could not be sprayed at all
when the ground was wet and lacking data on the normal rate of
fill for the lagoon, inadvertently allowed the lagoon to dis-
charge over the dike. Upon duly made motion and vote, the Com-
ntittee finds that the assessment in the amount of $3,603.28
should be reduced to $2,103.28 ($1,500.00 civil penalty plus
$603.28 investigation costs).
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED:
1. That the assessment of civil penalties in the amount of
$2,103.28 against Richard F. Lanier is AFFIRMED.
2. That this Final Decision and Order be served upon Rich-
ard F. Lanier and upon receipt hereof., the amount of $2,103.28,
be paid to the Department of Environment, Health and Natural
Resources.

IN THE MATTER OF ]
RICHARD F. LANIER ]
REQUEST FOR MITIGATION OF PENALTIES
Now comes, Richard F. Lanier, (hereafter "Lanier"), by and
through his counsel, Richard L. Burrows, Attorney at Law, and
respectfully requests that the penalty and cost assessments in the
total amount of $3,603.28, be reduced or forgiven, and shows in
mitigation as follows:
1. The investigation of Lanier's swine containment facilities
were conducted as a result of a complaint that Lanier had sprayed
waters from a swine facility lagoon onto wet fields, and during the
inspection the investigators determined that some of the lagoon
waters were seeping over the lagoon dike.
2. Lanier had purchased an effluent spray unit consisting of
a hose reel spray system and John Deere pumping unit on or about
April 13, 1993, a ccpy- of the i n:,-cice being hereto attached and
made a part hereof, in preparation of keeping the lagoon pumped out
at a low enough level during the summer and fall of 1993, to avoid
having to pump during the winter and early spring of 1994, at a
time when the land was customarily very wet. The lagoon was
maintained at a. level that Lanier thought was sufficient to safely
keep the water level two feet or more below the dam surface and

avoid having to spray when 'the weather was bad, but since this
swine facility was new he had not previously experienced what level
the lagoon waters should be maintained at during the summer and
fall, and did not have any historical data to determine how much
additional water could be reasonably expected during the winter and
early spring. in addition, the area in which Lanier's facilities
.are located experienced very heavy and extended rainfalls during
the winter and early spring, which he is informed, caused more
water than normal to fill the lagoon. As a result of those factors
the lagoon filled to and somewhat beyond the anticipated two foot
safety level.
2. During that same period Lanier attempted, on several
occasions, to pump the lagoon to a lower level, but due to the
extended rainfalls and wet soil conditions, he was unable to do so
without an increased danger of the sprayed effluent running off of
the land into ditches and into streams. He was informed that he
could not spray the effluent under such wet conditions.
3. Prior to and at the time of the inspection and
determination that the lagoon waters were seeping over the top of
the dam, Lanier had been and was attempting to spray the excess
lagoon water onto the land sites, but had not been able to
substantially lower the water level because of the wet weather and
land condition. However, at the time of the inspection, Lanier was
advised by the DEM representatives that he had to spray the
effluent and lower the lagoons, notwithstanding the wet soil
conditions, and he immediately did so. Lanier would have sprayed
the effluent earlier to avoid the runover, but understood that he

was prohibited by DEHNR regulations from doing so.
4. As a result of this experience and the knowledge that he
gained from it, Lanier advises that he knows the level to keep the
lagoon pumped down to in the summer and fall to avoid it
overfilling in the winter and spring. He previously sprayed only
on crops, but is engaged in providing additional spray areas, which
will include bermuda and rye grasses. Lanier is in the process of
developing an overall plan with the Duplin County Soil and Water
Conservation office in Kenansville, North Carolina, consistent with
the information he learned from this event.
5. The amount of overflow was not substantial and the lagoon
dike not breached. Further, the top of the dam was heavily
t
vegetated with grasses, which provided some degree of filtration of
the overflow water that seeped over the dam area, and no
appreciable harm was caused to the .streams referred to in the
assessment.
6. Lanier has not been previously assessed any penalties for
any similar or other violations of N.C.G.S. § 143-215.1, et seq.
WHEREFORE, Lanier respectfully requests that all or a
substantial part of the civil penalties and costs previously
assessed against .him be abated and/or reduced based upon the
unintentional and inadvertent overflow that resulted from Lanier
having incorrect information about when and under what
circumstances he could spray the swine effluent, and the fact that
the condition was immediately abated by Lanier upon being informed
that he should and could pump and spray the effluent.

Dear Mr. Lanier:
This letter transmits notice of a civil penalty assessed against Richard F. Lanier in the amount of
$3603.28 including $603.28 in investigative costs.
Attached is a copy of the assessment document explaining this penalty. This action was taken
under the authority vested in me by delegation pursuant to N.C.G.S. 143-215.6A(h). Any continuing
violation(s) may be the subject of a new enforcement action, including an additional penalty.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment, Health,
and Natural Resources (do not include waiverform). Payment of the penalty will not

2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a
detailed justification for such request:
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the
reasonableness of the amount of the penalty and is not the proper procedure
for contesting the accuracy of any of the statements contained in the
assessment letter. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an
administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of
your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation that there are no
factual or legal issues in dispute. You must execute and return to this office
the attached waiver and stipulation form and a detailed statement which you
believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-
282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage
resulting from the violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous
violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining
necessary remedial actions.
Please submit this information to the attention of:
Mr. Steve W. Tedder

3. Submit a written request for an administrative hearing:
If you wish to contest any statement in this assessment letter, you must
request an administrative hearing. This request must be in the form of a
written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General
Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, Post Office
Drawer 27447, Raleigh, North Carolina 27611-7447. A copy of the
petition must be served on the Department as follows:

Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty days, as evidenced by a
date stamp (not a postmark) indicating when we received your response, will result in this
matter being referred to the Attorney General's Office with a request to initiate a civil action
to collect the penalty. Please be advised that additional assessments may be levied for
future violations which occur after the review period of this assessment.
If you have any questions, please contact Linda Forehand or Dianne Williams

FROM: Steve Tedder
SUBJECT: Guidance for Implementation of the Nondischarge Rule
for Animal Waste Management (15A NCAC 2H G217)
This memorandum is intended to provide additional internal
guidance for Water Quality staff on implemention of the new
nondischarge rules for animal waste management systems (15A NCAC 2H
.0217). This guidance is divided into six general parts including
late registrations, late certifications, failure to implement an
approved plan, dry litter systems, case--by-case provisions and
discharging systems. Shell documents for Notice of Violations (NOV)
and civil penalty assessments, as appropriate, are attached for each
of these cases. The Compliance Group in the Central Office will be
issuing all NOVs for registration and certification violations since
they will all include a civil penalty assessment from the Director
beginning April 1, 1994. Therefore, in cases where DEM regional
staff discover registration or certification violations, the
regional office will need to complete the appropriate shell
documents and submit to the Compliance Group for processing. For
all other types of violations such as noncompliance with an approved
plan, the regional office will initiate the NOV unless a civil
penalty will simultaneously be assessed.
The penalties are recommended guidance for use by Water Quality
staff and have been discussed with the Director for his
concurrence. The recommended penalties, however, are subject to
case -by -case evaluation and may be adjusted accordingly.
I. Late Registrations
Animal waste management systems serving feedlots equal to or
larger than 100 cattle, 250 swine, 75 horses, 1,000 sheep, and
30,000 birds using a liquid waste system are required to have been
registered with DEM by December 31, 1993 in order to be deemed
permitted. Pasture and dry -litter poultry operations are exempt
from the registration dnd certfication requirements unless they are
addressed under the case -by -case provision discussed in section V
on page four.

January 24, 1994
Page Two
A. Voluntarily suj2mix:QQCiVC!A before
April 1, 11294
Owners that voluntarily submit a registration between January
1 and April 1, 1994 automatically will be issued an NOV for having
been out of compliance with an EMC rule. The registration, however,
will be accepted and no enforcement action will be initiated.
The Central Office will forward copies of all late
registrations and NOVs to the appropriate regional office. See the
attached shell "NOV for Voluntary Registration before April 1,
1994." The Central Office also will provide an updated list of all
registrants by region to the regional offices.
B. ForForggd RegistratignS Before April 1. 1994
Animal waste management systems that are found not to be
registered between January 1 and April 1, 1994, but are so required
shall be issued an NOV with a 30-day deadline to submit the
registration. No enforcement action will be initiated if the
registration is submitted by the deadline. See the attached shell
"NOV-for Involuntary Registration before April 1, 1994."
Another NOV with a civil penalty assessment will be initiated
if the deadline is not met. The second NOV will also include a
notice to apply for an individual nondischarge permit within 30 days
if the registration is not received by an additional 30-day time
period. An automatic penalty of $250 is recommended. See the
attached "Registration Late before April 1, 1994 Assessment Shell."
C. Registrations received on or after_ April 1. 1224
i. An NOV with a civil penalty assessed by the Director will be
initiated against all owners that voluntarily submit a late
registration on or after April 1, 1994. An automatic penalty
of $100 is recommended. See the attached "Registration Late
Assessment Shell for Voluntary Registration After April 1,
1994."
ii. An NOV with a civil penalty assessed by the Director more
severe than that assessed in C.(i) above will be
initiated against all owners that are found to be unregistered
as a result of a DEM staff visit on or after April 1, 1994.
The NOV will provide a 30-day deadline for the registration to
be submitted. An automatic penalty of $500 is recommended.
See the attached "Registration Late Assessment Shell for
Involuntary Registration after April 1, 1994."

If the deadline is not met, a second NOV will be issued with
another penalty and a notice to apply for an individual
nondischarge permit w-ithin an additional 30-day period. An
automatic penalty of $1,000 is recommended. See the attached
"Second Late Registration Shell for Involuntary Registration
after April 1, 1994."
11. Failure IQ obtain and submit a_ -Certification
Beginning January 1, 1994, owners of new or expanded systems
serving animals over the threshold numbers are required to obtain
an approved animal waste management plan that covers the minimum
criteria for design, construction, operation and maintenance and
they must submit to DEM a certification of the plan signed by a
designated technical specialist before animals are stocked at the
feedlot. Regional office staff will need to be aware of new
construction to ensure compliance and perhaps could make
notification arrangements with local county officials or others.
Ov.ners of existing feedlots that are required to register must
submit a signed certification by January 1, 1998. The Central
Office will be able to cross-check compliance for these operations
through the registration database.
A. NQw _Qr expanded__fegal is which becQme ooeratign4l between
January gnd March 1, 1294,but fail to submit a
certification.
These operations will be issued an NOV with a 30-day deadline
to submit the certification or else face penalties and the
requirement to apply for and receive an individual nondischarge
permit. This one month grace period in assessing penalties is
provided to coincide with a one year period from the effective date
of the EMC rule. See the attached "Shell NOV for Late Certification
prior to March 1, 1994."
If the certification is not received by the deadline, a more
severe civil penalty will be assessed by the Director than that for
failing to register and notice will be given to apply for an
individual nondischarge permit within 30 days. An automatic penalty
of $2,000 is recommended. See the attached "Certification Late
Assessment Shell before March 1, 1994."
B. New gr expandg,,d f;gdlots which become operational on or
after March 1. 1994 but _fail to submit a certification.
An NOV will be initiated against the owner of these feedlots
with a civil penalty assessed by the Director and a 30-day deadline
to submit a certification or apply for an individual nondischarge
permit. An automatic penalty of $1,000 is recommeded. See the
attached "Certification Late Assessment Shell after March 1, 1994."

C. Existing feedlots which fail to BlQmit a certification by
January 1. 1998,
An NOV will be initiated against the owner of these feedlots
with a civil penalty assessed by the Director and a 30-day deadline
to submit a certification or apply for an individual nondischarge
permit. An automatic penalty of $10,000 is recommended. See the

Any new, expanded or existing feedlot which is not operated and
maintained according to an approved animal waste management plan
will be issued an NOV by the regional office. If necessary,
recommendations for civil penalty assessments may be made to the
Director based on the nature and severity of the violation. See
the attached shell "NOV for Failure to Implement a Plan."
IV. Dry -litter poultry systems and others not required to obtain
a plan.
Poultry operations using dry litter systems which are designed
for 5,000 birds or less are not to be penalized for failure to
comply with the record keeping provisions. All other classes of
operations included in the nondischarge rule which do not require
plans will be addressed only in response to complaints or water
quality standard violations. See the attached shell "NOV for Dry
Litter."
V. Case -by -Case Provisions
Although pasture and range operations (i.e., animals not in
buildings) are exempt from registration and certification
requirements, there may be instances where a portion of a pasture
or range operation (such as a barren area) are the source of water
quality problems and could qualify as a feedlot. Depending on the
nature and severity of the water quality problems, these areas may
be addressed under the case -by -case provision of the rule. However,
in order to ensure consistency between regions and to concentrate
on the more significant problems, it is recommended that the case -
by -case provision should not be used for pasture operations if the
barren area is less than one-fourth acre in size or if there is a

vegetated buffer of at least 100 feet from the nearest barren area
to perennial waters. -
In general, the case -by -case provisions under the rule ( . 0217 )
may be used when necessary in response to complaints or discovery
of water quality standard violations. Normally, the first step in
using the case -by -case provision will be to request that an appro-:ed
animal waste management plan be prepared and followed within: a
certain time period. If problems persist, then an individ•_al
nondischarge permit may be required.
VI. Discharging Systems
Animal operations that are found to be discharging wastewa_-er
to surface waters of the state directly or through runoff fro7na a
storm event less severe than the 25-year, 24--hour storm can be
addressed through the discharge or nondischarge rules. However, now
that the nondischarge rule for animal waste management has been
amended, it will no longer be necessary to designate a facility as
a concentrated animal feeding operation. If a facility has an
intentional discharge, we can continue to assess civil penalties up
to $5,000.
Approved animal waste management plans in essence are -he
nondischarge permits for the larger feedlots and the components of
the plan are the conditions of the permit. All plans will incl.Ide
operation and maintenance conditions, so persistent problems in this
area that lead to water quality impairment can be addressed by the
regional offices through the nondischarge rule as well as through
the laws and rules that require permits for all wastewar-er
discharges, that prohibit water Quality standard violations and that
penalize willful dischargers.
If there are questions' regarding enforcement of the
nondischarge rule for animal waste management systems, please
contact David Harding or Dianne Williams Wilburn.

Dear Mr. Lanier:
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 (15NNCAC 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 (copy enclosed) to DEM by
December 31. 1997, New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31, 1993 must
obtain signed certification before animals are stocked on the farm. Certification of an
approved animal waste management plan can be obtained after the Soil and Water Conservation
Commission adopts rules later this year.
. We appreciate you providing us with this information. If you have any question about
the new nondischarge Wile, please contact David Harding at [phone].
Sincerely,
Steve Tedder, Chief
