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. Pled
careful attention to the record keeping and monitoring conditions in this permit.

If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site -specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules; standards, and -ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.
Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking
of the facility. Per 15A NCAC 02T .0111(c) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100-foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any wetted area of a
spray field.
Per 15A NCAC 02T .1306, any containment basin, such as a lagoon or waste storage structure, shall
continue to be subject to the conditions and requirements of the facility's permit until closed to NRCS
standards and the permit is rescinded by the Division.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWNIP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief.
If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after the expiration date of the
General Permit, an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration.
This COC is not automatically transferable. A namelownership change application must be submitted to
the Division prior to a name change or change in ownership.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to
apply for an individual permit by contacting the staff member listed below for information on this
process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding.

Amendment
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste
is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed
before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, n the surface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waX&Qi tVq +�i f3
under DWQ regulations.
APR o 3 zoos
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift -and downwind odor
problems. y:
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential
for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than
30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.

This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change
methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application
methods are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could
allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to
be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must
be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant
available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above.
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements.
In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed
through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they
reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a
height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care
should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere
with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen
being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is
the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is
recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

The 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 2643.84 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon
sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 13219.2 pounds of plant
available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 44 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to com at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 105.7536 acres of land. Please note that these
are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values
may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application
Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific
application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION:
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation
such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil
structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not
exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the
plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
i
*This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount
of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application
amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for >180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the
waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of
freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment
is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste.

Additional Comments:
This plan is based on 'wetted' acres. The optional land is acreage picked up
using the'Aerway'. This plan is written for Bermuda which will be grazed
and overseed with a small grain. Although this plan is written for grazing,
haying ractices may occur. The following rates may be used as long as
1/2 of the yeild is cut for hay: Field 1: 243 Ibs. N; Field 2: 232 Ibs. N;
Field 3: 255 Ibs. N; Field 4: 255 Ibs. N; Field 5: 220 Ibs. N; Fields 6,7,8,
9 $ 10: 185 Ibs. N.
The PAN produced was obtained using the growers actual pumping records
for 3 years. Used 3 year average for PAN produced. Grower has
all records used to determine this amount, on file at the farm.

Division of Water Quality
On March 21, 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 June 8, 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

Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System
Big Brook #] & #2
Facility Number 31-159
Duplin County
Dear Stanley James.
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 1 1123/99 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:
Ig 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.

Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System

Category 2:
❑ Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal
waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates
set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him
or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must
be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct
Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension
Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special
designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this
designation, or a Professional Engineer.
All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and
the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWO 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 Ietter, please do not hesitate to contact Sonya Avant of our
Central Office staff at [phone] ext. 571.

The waste from your animal f icility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the, animal waste should
be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields
where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting
nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are
strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the
crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to
maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an
environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop
can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching
potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.. Normally
waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With
special precautions, waste may be applied to bawd eroding at up to -10 tons per acre per
year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is
frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not
allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift
and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production
and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or
applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or
dishing will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis
report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on
proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for
analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A
NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land
application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal
discharges are subject to the 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
owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste.
If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall "
provide MRCS with a copy of a written agreement <sampk-enckowd) 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 cperation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization,
or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic
crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions,
and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of
application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS)
or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be
no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used
where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers"
required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390
'(Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.]
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when the wind is blowing.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil
incorporated on ccnventionally 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 is North
Carolina" in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.)

All statements below that are i;Utialled by a technical specialist apply to the attached certification:
The irrigation system has not been installed or evaluated concerning nozzle size, spray pattern,
spacing, pipe size, etc. It is the responsibility of the producer to obtain and operate the
system with the proper components and to supply the required maintenance to assure that no
runoff of pollutants occurs during operation and that the waste is applied at the approved rates.
By, r. l - q b (month/day/year) the producer should 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 this operation is based on yields higher than what is now
recommended by NRCS; however, these yields are obtainable under high levels of
management and the farmer has supporting documentation to justify higher nitrogen
application rates.
All of the permanent vegetation required by the waste management plan has not been
established as of the date of this certification. The producer agrees to establish the
vegetation by4-i -­t G (month/day/year), and to provide a temporary small grain crop in
case some pumping is required prior to the establishment of the permanent vegetation.

System Calibration
Inrorr-nation presented in rnanulacturer'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 'low. 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 subsequerrdy the
application uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure
results in s..,ailer droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the
sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged.
intakes or crys«llization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating
below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application
uniformi _y. ,
For the above reason, you should calibrate your eCu'ipnent on a recuicr basis to
ensure prone' aoDiication rates arid. uni;ormity. Calibration at least once- every

This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and
180 days of temporary storage. The time required for the planned
fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary
due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount
of fresh water added to the system.
The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for:
(1) waote from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also
included is storage for the 25 year - 24 hour storm for the location.
The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be
fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess
rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will not
be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage
volume must always be available.
A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin
pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from
buiiding(s). If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to
begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation
to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established
to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth.
Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two
elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as
weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without
runoff or leaching.
Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable
method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set,
center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be
taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre -
charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during
start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be
covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete,
flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not
be used for flushing after initial filling.
2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment)
before land application.
3. Begin temporary storage pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level
reaches the elevation 50.8 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump -
out when the fluid level reaches elevation 48.8 . This temporary
storage, less 25 yr- 24 hr storm, contains 179677 cubic feet or
1343982 gallons.

A. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is
onq (1)• inch ,and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3
inch per hour. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the
lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed
to maintain a vigorous stand.
G. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
establic3h in vegetation.
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable
outlets.
8. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around
waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will
not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a
residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall be applied in a
manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of
pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of
Environment, Health, -and Natural Resources, Division of Environ-
mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS
----------------------------------------------------------
FOUNDATION PREPARATION:
The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be
cleared of trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush, boulders, sod and rubbish.
Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoil from
the lagoon and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on
the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area of the
lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior
to placing the first lift of fill material to get a good bond.
EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT:
-----------------------------------
The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines,
grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall
be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen soil, stones over
6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent
they are suitable, excavated materials can be used as fill. The fill
shall be brought up in approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9
inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer
will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading
equipment or standard tamping roller or other equivalent method.
Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed
to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectible.
NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER
SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon shall be
installed using the more impervious materials from the required
excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for
settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height and with an impoundment
capacity of 10 acre-feet or more fall under the jurisdiction of the -NC
Dam Safety Law. The height is defined as the difference in elevation
from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike.
Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive
erosion and sedimentation.
LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.8 ft.
----------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL)_ ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS
INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERIAL IS
ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER
IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE SOILS REPORT.
When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be over -
excavated below finish grade to the specified depth as measured
perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall be backfilled
as specified to grade with a SCS approved material (ie - CL,SC,CH).
REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN THE PLANS FOR SPECIAL
CONSIDERATIONS.

Soil Liner material shall come from an approved borrow area. The
minimum water content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture
content which relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneaded
in the hand it will form a ball which does not readily separate. Water
shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture content
during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner
material shall not be less than optimum water content during placement.
The maximum water content relates to the soil material being too wet
for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Proper
compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and
compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum ASTM D698 Dry Unit
Weight of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous lift
shall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement of the next
lift.
The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted perme-
ability of a clay liner, other than the type of clay used for the
liner, is the efficient construction processing of the compacted liner.
The sequence of equipment use and the routing of equipment in an estab-
lished pattern helps assure uniformity in the whole placement and
compaction process. For most clay soils, a tamping or sheepsfoot
roller is the preferable type of compaction equipment.
The soil liner shall be protected from the discharge of waste outlet
pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator(rocks)
or using flexible outlets on waste pipes.
Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant.
When these are specified, additional construction specifications are
included with this Construction Specification.
CUTOFF TRENCH:
--------------
A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when
shown on a typical cross section in the plans. The final depth of the
cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation
materials_
VEGETATION:
All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded
to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construc-
tion according to the seeding 'specifications. Topsoil should be placed
on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch
shall be used if the recommended permanent vegetation is out of season
dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should be established as soon
as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates.
REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS
-------------------------------
When tile drains are encountered, the the will be removed to a minimum
of 10 feet beyond the outside toe of slope of the dike. The tile
trench shall be backfilled and compacted with good material such as
SC, CL, or CH.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) with minimum
odor control. The time required for the planned fluid level to be reached -
(permanent + temporary storage) may vary due to soil conditions, flushing
operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system.
The designed 6 months temporary storage is an estimated volume based on:
1) waste from animals
2) excess rainfall after evaporation
and 3) the largest 24 hour (one day) rainfall that occurs on the average
of once every 25 years.
The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly
constant throughout the year and from year to year.
This estimate is based on 7.0 inches of excess rainfall which is equal
to or exceeds the highest 6 months excess in a year. The average annual excess
rainfall is approximately 8 inches. Therefore, an average of 8 inches of excess
rainfall will need to be pumped each year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a
factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must
always be available. A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin
pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from the building(s).
If the outlet pipe is not installed on the elevation to begin pumping, a
permanent marker must be installed on this elevation to indicate when pumping
should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain the
minimum treatment depth of 6 feet.
Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two elevations
for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils,
crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without runoff or leaching.
Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of
disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot guns and
traveling gun irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to
prevent damage to crops.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN (continued)
-----------------------
The following items are to be carried out:
Page 2
1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be precharged to 1/2
of its capacity to prevent excessive odors during start—up. Precharging
reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon, thereby
reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent at all times. When
precharging is complete, flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water
should not be used for flushing after initial filling.
2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment)
before land application.
3. Begin pump —out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches elevation 47.30 feet
as marked by the permanent marker.
Stop pump —out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches elevation 44.90 feet
or before the fluid depth is less than 9.40 feet deep (this prevents
the loss of favorable bacteria).
The designed temporary storage volume less the 25 year — 24 hour
storm volume is 168,952 cubic feet or 1,263,763 gallons.
As stated before, this volume will vary considerably from year to year.
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch
and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 inches per hour.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed
annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand.
6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and establish in vegetation.
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets.
8. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization
fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will not be applied in open ditches.
Do not pump within 200 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well.
9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters
of the United States. The Department of Environment, Health and Natural
Resources, Division of Environmental Management, has the responsibility
for enforcing this law.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS
------------------------------------------
SECTION 1: CLEARING
All trees and brush shall be removed from the construction area before any
excavation or fill is started. Stumps will be removed within the area of the
foundation of the embankment, all fill areas and all excavated areas. All
All stumps and roots exceeding one (1) inch in diameter shall be removed
to a minimum depth of one (1) foot below final grade. Satisfactory disposition
will be made of all debris.
The foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly before placement of
the embankment material. The lagoon site (and pad site if needed) is to be
stripped of topsoil (minimum of 3') and stockpiled for use on dike and pad
slopes (finished depth of 2-3").
SECTION 2: CUT—OFF TRENCH
A cut—off trench (when specified) shall be installed as shown on the plans.
SECTION 3: CONSTRUCTION
Construction of excavated and earthfill areas shall be performed to the neat
lines and grades as planned. Deviations from this will require prior approval
of the SCS. Earthiill shall be placed in a maximum of 9' lifts and shall not
be placed in standing water. Compaction shall be performed by the construction
equipment or by a sheeps—foot roller during placement.
The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious
materials. Construction of fill heights shall include ten (10) percent overage
for settlement.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION (Continued)
-----------------------------
To protect against seepage, when areas of unsuitable material are
encountered, they will need to be excavated to a minimum of one (1) foot
below grade and backfilled and compacted with a SCS approved material
(ie — CL, SC, CH). Refer to the soil investigation information in the plans
for special considerations. Precautions should be taken during construction
to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation.
SECTION 4: VEGETATION
All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded
to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construction
according to seeding specifications sheet.

Soil Investigation to Determine Suitability of Proposed Lagoon Site
-------------------------------------
A total of three (3) soil borings were taken on this site to determine
if the existing soils would be suitable for embankment material for the lagoon.
Page 1
The benchmark elevation of 45.01 feet is located on the top of control point #133.
The estimated high water table elevation = 41.0 Feet, +1—
Using the Unified Classification System, the results of the borings are as follows:
Boring #1: N 49+53 1 E 47+15
0 Ft. — 2 Ft. — SC material (clayey sands; sand —clay mixtures)
2 Ft. — 11 Ft. — SM material (silty sand (light brown to white in color))
Boring #2: N 49+95 1 E 49+ 17
0 Ft. — 2 Ft. — SC material (clayey sands; sand —clay mixtures)
2 Ft. — 9 Ft. — SM material (silty sand (light brown to white in color))
Boring #3: N 48+33 / E 50+18
0 Ft. — 1 Ft. — SC material (clayey sands; sand —clay mixtures)
1 Ft. — 9 Ft. — SM material (silty sand (light brown to white in color))
Based on the results of these borings, the soils available on this site are not suitable
to be used as embankment material for the lagoon site. A suitable clay material
(ie — CL,SC,CH) for the liner will be required for this site. Ground water may be a
problem during construction.

Dear Mr. James:
On March 4, 1998, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality inspected you animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. It was observed
that waste had been applied to spray field #2 which is not listed in the Certified Animal Waste
Management Plan. In addition, erosion cuts were present on the inner and outer dike walls of
lagoon #1. On June 13, 1997, the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality
issued a Notice of Deficiency based on a June 11, 1997 inspection which found erosion on the dike
wall of lagoon #1 at that time.
Applying waste to fields not in your plan and erosion of the lagoon dike wall are violations
of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP), and subsequent infractions may
result in a Notice of Violation and include a civil penalty. All fields on which waste is to be
applied must be listed in the CAWMP. The erosion areas on the dike wall of lagoon #1 should
be filled with a suitable clay material and re -seeded with an appropriate vegetative cover. In
addition, the bare areas on both lagoons should be re -seeded with an appropriate vegetative cover.
The waste application records should be kept by pull number and field number, using the correct
wetted acreage. We suggest that you contact your service company, local NRCS or Soil and
Water District office for any assistance they may be able to provide to correct the situation.

Dear Stanley James:
In accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1OG, all animal operations who receive an animal
waste management system permit will be charged in each year of the term an annual permit fee. Annual permit fees are
billed following the issuance of the permit and then annually thereafter on the anniversary of that date. Your animal waste
management system permit was issued on 6/8/98.
Your annual permit fee for the period of 6/8/98 - 6n199 is $200.00. Your payment was due 8/7/98. Because this
fee was not fully paid within 30 days after being billed, this letter initiates action to revoke the subject permit, pursuant to
15 NCAC 2H .0205 (c) (4). and G.S. 143-215.1 (b) (3).
Effective 60 days from receipt of this notice, the subject permit is hereby revoked unless the required Annual
Animal Waste Management System Permit fee for your animal operation is received within that time. Operation of an
animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and is
subject to the assessment of a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per day. Your payment should be sent to:

Dear Mr. James:
On June 11, 1997 Staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality,
inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. It was observed that some erosion
of the clay liner has occurred on the lagoon. Large cuts were observed - in various sections of the outer dike
wall of the lagoon. It is our concern that some of these gullies may become deep enough to cut through the
liner material and sacrifice the integrity of the structure.
As discussed at the time of the inspection, the cuts should be filled with a suitable clay material,
compacted and reseeded with an appropriate vegetative cover. In addition, any bare spots on the lagoon wall
should be reseeded with an appropriate vegetative cover. We suggest that you contact your service company,
local NRCS or Soil and Water District office for any assistance they may be able to provide to correct the
situation.
To remain a deemed permitted facility, you must notify this office in writing within fourteen (14) days
of the receipt of this notice, what actions will be taken to comply with your waste management plan. Failure
to do so may result in the facility losing it's deemed permitted status, requiring it to obtain an individual non
discharge permit.

On August 2, 1995 staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Environmental
Management inspected your animal operation and the lagoon serving this operation. Your lagoon was
observed to have sufficient freeboard. However, there was not any vegetation established around the dike
wall and some erosion has occurred. Additionally, no cover crop has been planted yet for spray irrigation
and there was insufficient irrigation equipment. Your certification required that irrigation equipment must
be available 180 days after the date of certification.
The following corrective actions should be taken: Vegetative cover needs to be planted and
maintained on the dike wall in order to stop further erosion, a cover crop needs to be planted, and the
necessary irrigation equipment needs to be available.
To remain a deemed permitted facility, all corrective actions must be made within seven (7) days.
Failure to do so may result in the facility losing its' deemed permitted status and being required to obtain
an individual non discharge permit for the facility.
Please be aware that it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes to discharge wastewater
to the surface waters of the State without a permit and/or to follow a certified waste management plan.
The Division of Environmental Management has the authority to levy a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per

COMMENTS:

This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and
180 days of temporary storage. The time required for the planned
fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary
due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount
of fresh water added to the system.
The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for:
(1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also
included is storage for the 25 year - 24 hour storm for the location.
The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be
fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess
rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will not
be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage
volume must always be available.
A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin
pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from
buiiding(s). If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to
begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation
to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established
to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth.
Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two
elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as
weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without
runoff or leaching.
Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable
method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set,
center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be
taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre -
charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during
start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be
covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete,
flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not
be used for flushing after initial filling.
2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment)
before land application.
3. Begin temporary storage pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level
reaches the elevation 50.8 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump -
out when the fluid level reaches elevation 48.8 . This temporary
storage, less 25 yr- 24 hr storm, contains 179677 cubic feet or
1343982 gallons.

5
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is
one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3
inch per hour. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the
lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed
to maintain a vigorous stand.
b. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
establish in vegetation.
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable
outlets.
8. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around
waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will
not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a
residence or within 100 feet of a well. waste shall be applied in a
manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of
pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of
Environment, Health, -and Natural Resources, Division of Environ-
mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS
----------------------------------------------------------
FOUNDATION PREPARATION:
-----------------------
The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be
cleared of trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush, boulders, sod and rubbish.
Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoil from
the lagoon and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on
the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area of the
lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior
to placing the first lift of fill material to get a good bond.
EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT:
The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines,
grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall
be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen soil, stones over
6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent
they are suitable, excavated materials can be used as fill. The fill
shall be brought up in approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9
inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer
will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading
equipment or standard tamping roller or other equivalent method.
Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed
to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectible.
NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER
SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon shall be
installed using the more impervious materials from the required
excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for
settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height'and with an impoundment
capacity of 10 acre-feet or more fall under the jurisdiction of the -NC
Dam Safety Law. The height is defined as the difference in elevation
from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike.
Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive
erosion' and sedimentation.
LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.8 ft.
NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR -FULL), ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS
INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERIAL IS
ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER
IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE SOILS REPORT.
When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be over -
excavated below finish grade to the specified depth as measured
perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall be backfilled
as specified to grade with a SCS approved material (le - CL,SC,CH).
REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN THE PLANS FOR SPECIAL
CONSIDERATIONS.

Soil liner material shall come from an approved borrow area. The
minimum water content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture
content which relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneaded
in the hand it will form a ball which does not readily separate. Water
shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture content
during placement of -the liner. The moisture content of the liner
material shall not be less than optimum water content during placement.
The maximum water content relates to the soil material being too wet
for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. proper
compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and
compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum ASTM D698 Dry Unit
Weight of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous lift
shall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement of the nex�t
lift.
The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted perme-
ability of a clay liner, other than the type of clay used for the
liner, is the efficient construction processing of the compacted liner.
The sequence of equipment use and the routing of.equipment in an estab-
lished pattern helps assure uniformity in the whole placement and
compaction process. For most clay soils, a tamping or sheepsfoot
roller is the preferable type of compaction equipment.
The soil liner shall be protected from the discharge of waste outlet
pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator(rocks)
or using flexible outlets on waste pipes.
Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant.
When these are specified, additional construction specifications are
included with this Construction Specification.
CUTOFF TRENCH:
--------------
A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when
shown on a typical cross section in the plans. The final depth of the
cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation
materials.
VEGETATION:
All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded
to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construc-
tion according to the seeding specifications. Topsoil should be placed
on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch
shall be used if the recommended permanent vegetation is out of season
dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should be established as soon
as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates.
REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS
-------------------------------
When tile drains ar-e encountered, the tile will be removed to a minimum
of 10 feet beyond the outside toe of slope of the dike. The tile
trench shall be backfilled and compacted with good material such as
SC, CL, or CH.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
Page 1
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) with minimum
odor control. The time required for the planned fluid level to be reached
(permanent + temporary storage) may vary due to soil conditions, flushing
operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system.
The designed 6 months temporary storage is an estimated volume based on:
1) waste from animals
2) excess rainfall after evaporation
and 3) the largest 24 hour (one day) rainfall that occurs on the average
of once every 25 years.
The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly
constant throughout the year and from year to year.
This estimate is based on 7.0 inches of excess rainfall which is equal
to or exceeds the highest 6 months excess in a year. The average annual excess
rainfall is approximately 8 inches. Therefore, an average of 8 inches of excess
rainfall will need to be pumped each year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a
factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must
always be available. A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin
pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from the building(s).
If the outlet pipe is not installed on the elevation to begin pumping, a
permanent marker must be installed on this elevation to indicate when pumping
should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain the
minimum treatment depth of 6 feet.
Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two elevations
for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils,
crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without runoff or leaching.
Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of
disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot guns and
traveling gun irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to
prevent damage to crops.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN (continued)
-----------------------
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be precharged to 1/2
of its capacity to prevent excessive odors during start --up. Precharging
reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon, thereby
reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent at all times. When
precharging is complete, flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water
should not be used for flushing after initial filling.
2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment)
before land application.
3. Begin pump —out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches elevation 47.30 feet
as marked by the permanent marker.
Stop pump —out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches elevation 44.90 feet
or before the fluid depth is less than 9.40 feet deep (this prevents
the loss of favorable bacteria).
The designed temporary storage volume less the 25 year — 24 hour
storm volume is 168,952 cubic feet or 1,263,763 gallons.
As stated before, this volume will vary considerably from year to year.
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch
and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 inches per hour.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed
annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand.
6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and establish in vegetation.
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets.
8. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization
fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will not be applied in open ditches.
Do not pump within 200 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well.
9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters
of the United States. The Department of Environment, Health and Natural
Resources, Division of Environmental Management, has the responsibility
for enforcing this law.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS
SECTION 1: CLEARING
All trees and brush shall be removed from the construction area before any
excavation or fill is started. Stumps will be removed within the area of the
foundation of the embankment, all fill areas and all excavated areas. All
All stumps and roots exceeding one (1) inch in diameter shall be removed
to a minimum depth of one (1) foot below final grade. Satisfactory disposition
will be made of all debris.
The foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly before placement of
the embankment material. The lagoon site (and pad site if needed) is to be
stripped of topsoil (minimum of X) and stockpiled for use on dike and pad
slopes (finished depth of 2-3").
SECTION 2: CUT—OFF TRENCH
A cut—off trench (when specified) shall be installed as shown on the plans.
SECTION 3: CONSTRUCTION
Construction of excavated and earthfill areas shall be performed to the neat
lines and grades as planned. Deviations from this will require prior approval
of the SCS. Earthfill shall be placed in a maximum of fi' lifts and shall not
be placed in standing water. Compaction shall be performed by the construction
equipment or by a sheeps—foot roller during placement.
The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious
materials. Construction of fill heights shall include ten (10) percent overage
for settlement.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION (Continued)
-----------------------------
To protect against seepage, when areas of unsuitable material are
encountered, they will need to be excavated to a minimum of one (1) foot
below grade and backfilled and compacted with a SCS approved material
(ie — CL, SC, CH). Refer to the soil investigation information in the plans
for special considerations. Precautions should be taken during construction
to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation.
SECTION 4: VEGETATION
All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded
to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construction
according to seeding specifications sheet.

Soil Investigation to Determine Suitability of Proposed Lagoon Site
-------------------------------------
A total of three (3) soil borings were taken on this site to determine
if the existing soils would be suitable for embankment material for the lagoon.
Page 1
The benchmark elevation of 45.01 feet is located on the top of control point #133.
The estimated high water table elevation = 41.0 Feet, +/—
Using the Unified Classification System, the results of the borings are as follows:
Boring #1: N 49+53 / E 47+15
0 Ft. — 2 Ft. — SC material (clayey sands; sand —clay mixtures)
2 Ft. — 11 Ft. — SM material (silty sand (light brown to white in color))
Boring #2: N 49+95 / E 49+17
0 Ft. — 2 Ft. — SC material (clayey sands; sand —clay mixtures)
2 Ft. — 9 Ft. — SM material (silty sand (light brown to white in color))
Boring #3: N 48+33 / E 50+18
0 Ft. — 1 Ft. — SC material (clayey sands; sand —clay mixtures)
1 Ft. -- 9 Ft. — SM material (silty sand (light brown to white in color))
Based on the results of these borings, the soils available on this site are not suitable
to be used as embankment material for the lagoon site. A suitable clay material
(le — CL,SC,CH) for the liner will be required for this site. Ground water may be a
problem during construction.
