The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements., and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake. This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied bymanure or other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for sludge utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for each source, the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates shown in the second column. Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production an-d applied at agronomic rates. lal most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally'very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied. Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be used for sludge applications If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and Iakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

Available storage capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated The start date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero. Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design storage capacity of the facility. Ifthe available storage capacity is greater than the design storage capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated. If available storage capacity is negativc,-the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

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 that reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. it is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic -conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance). ------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I----------------------- 935864 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: 12/26/2016 5pecifleation Page 1 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil 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. 10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Wastelnutrient loading rates on these -soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1,1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1,1995,. shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters. 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------_-- -------------------------------------------------------------------- 935864 Database Version 4.1 Date Pruned: 12/26/2016 Specification Page 2 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. . 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed_ areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas -where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 935W Database Version 4,1 Date Printed: 12/26/2016 Specification Page 3 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 935864 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: 12/26/2016 1 Specification Page 4 Crop Notes The following crop note applies to field(s): Corn 1: CP, Mineral Soil, low -leachable In the Coastal Plain, corn is normally planted when soil temperatures reach 52 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Review the Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and. conditions. Plant 1-2" deep. Plant populations should be determined by the hybrid being planted. Increase the seeding rate by 10% when planting no -till. Phosphorus and potassium recommended by a soil test can be broadcast or banded at planting. When planting early in cool, wet soil, banded, phosphorus will be more available to the young plants. An accepted practice is to apply 20-30 lbs/acre N and 20-30 lbs/acre phosphorus banded as a starter and one-half the remaining N behind the planter. The rest of the N should be applied about 30-40 days after emergence. The total amount of N is dependent on soil type. When including a starter in the fertilizer program, the recommended potassium and any additional phosphorus is normally broadcast at planting. Plant samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status of the corn. Timely management of weeds and insects are essential for corn production. The following crop note applies to field(s): 1, 5 Fescue: Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Poorly Drained to Somewhat Poorly Drained. Adaptation: Moderate to Marginal.

Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced 1' to I.5' in row. For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus, potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 lb/ac N in the establishment year in split applications in April and July- For established stands apply 180 to 240 lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts. Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or extension agent for assistance. The following crop note applies to fieid(s): 4 Bermudagrass: CP, Mineral Soil, Moderately Well Drained. Adaptation: Well -adapted. In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. I to Mar. 3 1. Cover sprigs 1" to 3" deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and wind. For Coastal and.

PIant 22 seed/drill row foot at 1-1 1/2" deep and increase the seeding rate by 5% for each week seeding is delayed beyond the optimum time. See the seeding rates table for applicable seeding rate modifications in the current NCSU "Small Grain Production Guide". Also, increase the initial seeding rate by at least 10% when planting no -till. Adequate depth control when planting the wheat is essential. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Apply no more than 30 lbs/acre N at planting. Phosphorus and potash recommended by a soil test can also be applied at this time- The remaining N should be applied during the months of February -March. The total N is dependent on,the soil type. Plant samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the nutrient status of the wheat. Timely management of diseases, insects and weeds are essential for profitable wheat production. The following crop note applies to field(s): Double -Crop Soybeans, Coastal Plain: Mineral Soil, low -leachable Double -crop soybeans should be planted as early in June as possible -with planting completed by July 4tli. When no -tilling soybeans in small grain straw, it is essential to manage the straw to achieve adequate plant populations. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Plant 24 seed/row foot for 7-8" drills; 4-6 seed/row foot for 15" rows; 6-8 seed/row foot for 3 0 " rows and 8-10 seed/row foot for 3 6 " rows. Increase the seeding rate by at least 10% for no -till planting - Seeding depth should be 1-1 1/2" and adequate depth control is essential. Phosphorus and potash recommended for the soybeans can be applied to the wheat in the Fall. Soybeans produce their own nitrogen and are normally grown without additions of nitrogen. However, applications of 20-30 lbs/acre N are. sometimes made at planting to promote early growth and vigor. Tissue samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status of the soybeans. Timely management of weeds and insects is essential for profitable double crop soybean production. -- - -------------------------- ----------•-----------------------------•----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 935864 Database Version 4.I Date Printed: 12-26-2016 Crop Note Page 4 of 4 a Fil'i 77 71 777'�l I'J" No ME FAIA'al a I Valley Dealer Benchmark Bldgs. & brig. 165 S Kenansville Bypass Kenansville, NC 28349 UNITED STATES Dealer No. 88815458 Parent Order No. 11187177 Sprinkler order No.11187181 Plant McCook Manufacturing Customer Carter and Sons 668 Rivenbark Town Rd Wallace, NC 28466-6160 USA Field Name Dealer PO 33450 Order Date 01/27/2016 Load Date 02/19/2016 Method Of Shipment W/SYS (11188692) 3 Span Valley Standard Pivot 7000 Machine Flow 500 (GPM) Pivot Pressure 50 (PSI) Cover Sheet - 02/15/2016 .

Last winter, beginning November 2014, the three lagoons which I manage were at 45 inches of freeboard prior to entering the winter season. I did not have to start irrigating until April 2015. That has not been the case this winter. It has been, and continues to be, a challenge to manage the amount of rainfall accumulating in my lagoons this winter. That said, I have been, and will continue to be, in compliance with environmental rules applicable to my farm. The following are the actions I have taken to prevent any violations on Carter & Sons Hog Farm 1 &2. While I'm irrigating I frequently check and monitor the status of the irrigation equipment. I inspect them on the hour -every hour. While irrigating the afternoon of Nov. 17`h, during one of my inspections, I noticed that my 2.7 inch irrigation reel had stopped turning. There was minor ponding but there was no waste water leaving the farm, nor did it appear likely that the water would runoff and enter waters of the State. So, I immediately made the minor equipment adjustments, increased the speed of the irrigation reel (to eliminate further ponding) and checked for any other problems. Later that afternoon, I received an unannounced visit from Kevin Rowland and colleagues. He informed me that aerial pictures of the farm had been taken of my irrigation events that day and he asked if he could inspect the farm. I told him that he was welcomed to inspect any portion of the farm that he wished. When he arrived I was still irrigating. I informed him, at that time, that my 2.7 irrigation reel had previously stalled (stopped turning) and that I had already corrected the issue. I switched off all the irrigation equipment per Kevin's request and we continued to walk the fields. When Kevin observed the minor ponding of lagoon water in a swell (eroded waterway), he asked me if I would dam up the swell to prevent any water from entering a drainage ditch which separated the two farms. I immediately took action; using my backhoe, I dammed up the swell with dirt (pictures included). By this time it was dark outside. Kevin told me that he did not see any evidence of waste water entering the drainage ditch. He also asked me to remove any waste water from the swell, which I had planned to do, and which I did the next morning, Nov. 18th. Response NOV-2015-DV-0258 20 January 2016 page 2 Kevin called me the next day, Nov. 18'. he wanted to come back to the farm for a follow up visit. I told him that would be appreciated. During this visit he was able to investigate the drainage ditch/"unnamed tributary." After this follow-up investigation of the tributary Kevin again told me that he did not see any evidence of waste water in the tributary. In addition to damming up the swell immediately on the afternoon of Nov. 17th, Kevin requested that I put in a bulkhead with a "slam gate" in the eroded swell as a precautionary measure to prevent any waste water from leaving the farm. Within a week after Kevin's visit, I installed a bulkhead in the eroded swell. In addition to the bulkhead, I also filled in the eroded swell with large round hay bales to prevent it from eroding any further (pictures included). Due to the large amount of rain we have received recently, I have filled in other "wash outs" in surrounding fields to help with erosion and to prevent any waste water from entering drainage ditches. Twice, I was verbally informed that there was no evidence of waste water leaving the site and Kevin's inspection report documents that he "did not see where waste left the property." Contrary to this documented conclusion of the investigation, the NOV I received from your office states that I discharged waste water into the surface waters of the State. The Ietter also mentions that pictures were taken, but again, it has been documented that there was no runoff and I was not made aware of any pictures taken that shows runoff into the waters of the State. I manage my farm to be in compliance with State and Federal rules at all times, even under adverse weather conditions. I consider myself to be a good steward of the environment and I take pride in managing a farm that minimally impacts the environment. I have a proactive preventive maintenance program to ensure that equipment runs as it should, thus reducing the chance of environmental damage from operations on my farm. The ponding which was reported in the inspection report from Nov. 17t' was the result of a mechanical malfunction with the 2.7 inch irrigation reel that was caught and corrected within an hour, per my monitoring frequency plan. I've had the reel inspected and repaired to prevent any further occurrences or malfunctions. Anything that is man-made is going to break or malfunction at some point. That is why I have a preventive maintenance program and always inspect my irrigation events hourly to make sure my.equipment is functioning properly and to take corrective action if I find a problem. That, to me, is being a good steward of not only the environment but everything God has bless me with. I'm prepared, I'm aware, I take action when I see a problem, and I look for ways to not only improve my farm operations but to lessen my farm's impact on the environment. The improvements to the farm made over the last 5 years demonstrate this philosophy. My future plans are as follows. Upon recommendation from the Duplin County Soil & Water Conservation office, I have met with Benchmark Irrigation in Kenansville, NC and discussed with them the possibility of installing a 650 foot center pivot in the field which I was irrigating onto Nov. 17. There is room to install a pivot and they are currently drawing up the plans for a pivot system. Soil and Water will be helping me convert the eroded swell into a Response NOV-201 S-DV-0258 20 January 2016 Page 3 waterway with a bulkhead. I am excited about these plans because, as you well know, a properly managed pivot allows for the application of waste water at the design rate while exponentially reducing the risk of runoff. When 1 install the pivot system, I will no longer use irrigation reels in those fields. My goal is install an irrigation system which will allow me irrigate effluent onto my spray fields with less risk to the environment. After much research, I have concluded that the pivot system would be an effective, efficient, and environmentally sound way to irrigate. While minor ponding of waste water was observed on my farm on Nov. 170, 1 have shown that, due to my frequent monitoring, I caught the equipment malfunction within an hour and took immediate corrective action with equipment repair and adjusting land application rates. There was no runoff of waste into waters of the State (as documented by DWQ) and I have made additional Iand improvements to minimize my farm's impact on the environment. In light of the aforementioned facts, I request that DWQ: 1) amend the record for my farm by rescinding the erroneously cited violation for waste entering waters of the State, and 2) in lieu of a civil penalty assessment for the minor ponding of waste water on my farm; take into consideration that the cost of a pivot irrigation system is approximately $45,000, and any civil penalty assessed will adversely affect my ability to acquire and install this more efficient and environmentally friendly technology. Please feel free to contact me at (910) 289-1564, if you have any questions.

Due to your quick efforts to clean up and contain the spill, the small amount of waste observed in the tributary, and your efforts to make improvements to your farm to help prevent future discharges, we will not pursue enforcement in this case (NOV-2015-DV-0258) . Also, the spill appeared to be due to equipment malfunction which you have made repairs and are replacing the equipment with a new center pivot. All of these combined factors were taken into consideration in this case. The Notice of Violation still stands for the discharge but, as previously stated, we will not pursue an enforcement in this matter.

As you well know, eastern North Carolina has received an extensive amount of rainfall this winter. Last winter, beginning November 2014, the three lagoons which I manage were at 45 inches of freeboard prior to entering the winter season. I did not have to start irrigating until April 2015. That has not been the case this winter. It has been, and continues to be, a challenge to manage the amount of rainfall accumulating in my lagoons this winter. That said, I have been, and will continue to be, in compliance with environmental rules applicable to my farm. The following are the actions I have taken to prevent any violations on Carter & Sons Hog Farm 1 &2. While I'm irrigating I frequently check and monitor the status of the irrigation equipment. I inspect them on the hour every hour. While irrigating the afternoon of Nov. 17', during one of my inspections, I noticed that my 2.7 inch irrigation reel had stopped turning. There was minor ponding but there was no waste water leaving the farm, nor did it appear likely that the water would runoff and enter waters of the State. So, I immediately made the minor equipment adjustments, increased the speed of the irrigation reel (to eliminate further ponding) and checked for any other problems. Later that afternoon, I received an unannounced visit from Kevin Rowland and colleagues. He informed me that aerial pictures of the farm had been taken of my irrigation events that day and he asked if he could inspect the farm. I told him that he was welcomed to inspect any portion of the farm that he wished. When he arrived I was still irrigating. I informed him, at that time, that my 2.7 irrigation reel had previously stalled (stopped turning) and that I had already corrected the issue. I switched off all the irrigation equipment per Kevin's request and we continued to walk the fields. When Kevin observed the minor ponding of lagoon water in a swell (eroded waterway), he asked me if I would dam up the swell to prevent any water from entering a drainage ditch which separated the two farms. I immediately took action; using my backhoe, I dammed up the swell with dirt (pictures included). By this time it was dark outside. Kevin told me that he did not see any evidence of waste water entering the drainage ditch. He also asked me to remove any waste water from the swell, which I had planned to do, and which I did the next morning, Nov. 18th. Response NOV-2015-DV-0258 20 January 2016 Page 2 Kevin called me the next day, Nov. 181h, he wanted to come back to the farm for a follow up visit. I told him that would be appreciated. During this visit he was able to investigate the drainage ditch/"unnamed tributary." After this follow-up investigation of the tributary Kevin again told me that he did not see any evidence of waste water in the tributary. In addition to damming up the swell immediately on the afternoon of Nov. 17th, Kevin requested that I put in a bulkhead with a "slam gate" in the eroded swell as a precautionary measure to prevent any waste water from leaving the farm. Within a week after Kevin's visit, I installed a bulkhead in the eroded swell. In addition to the bulkhead, I also filled in the eroded swell with large round hay bales to prevent it from eroding any further (pictures included). Due to the large amount of rain we have received recently, I have filled in other "wash outs" in surrounding fields to help with erosion and to prevent any waste water from entering drainage ditches. Twice, I was verbally informed that there was no evidence of waste water leaving the site and Kevin's inspection report documents that he "did not see where waste left the property." Contrary to this documented conclusion of the investigation, the NOV I received from your office states that I discharged waste water into the surface waters of the State. The letter also mentions that pictures were taken, but again, it has been documented that there was no runoff and I was not made aware of any pictures taken that show runoff into the waters of the State. I manage my farm to be in compliance with State and Federal rules at all times, even under adverse weather conditions. I consider myself o be a good steward of the environment and I take pride in managing a farm that minimally impacts the environment. I have a proactive preventive maintenance program to ensure that equipment runs as it should, thus reducing the chance of environmental damage from operations on my farm. The ponding which was reported in the inspection report from Nov. 17t' was the result of a mechanical malfunction with the 2.7 inch irrigation reel that was caught and corrected within an hour, per my monitoring frequency plan. I've had the reel inspected and repaired to prevent any further occurrences or malfunctions. Anything that is man-made is going to break or malfunction at some point. That is why I have a preventive maintenance program and always inspect my irrigation events hourly to make sure my equipment is functioning properly and to take corrective action if I find a problem. That, to me, is being a good steward of not only the environment but everything God has bless me with. I'm prepared, I'm aware, I take action when I see a problem, and I look for ways to not only improve my farm operations but to lessen my farm's impact on the environment. The improvements to the farm made over the last 5 years demonstrate this philosophy. My future plans are as follows. Upon recommendation from the Dupiin County Soil & Water Conservation office, I have met with Benchmark Irrigation in Kenansville, NC and discussed with them the possibility of installing a 650 foot center pivot in the field which I was irrigating onto Nov. 17. There is room to install a pivot and they are currently drawing up the plans for a pivot system. Soil and Water will be helping me convert the eroded swell into a Response NOV-2015-DV-0258 20 January 2016 Page 3 waterway with a bulkhead. I am excited about these plans because, as you well know, a properly managed pivot allows for the application of waste water at the design rate while exponentially reducing the risk of runoff. When I install the pivot system, I will no longer use irrigation reels in those fields. My goal is install an irrigation system which will allow me irrigate effluent onto my spray fields with less risk to the environment. After much research, I have concluded that the pivot system would be an effective, efficient, and environmentally sound way to irrigate. While minor ponding of waste water was observed on my farm on Nov. 17th, I have shown that, due to my frequent monitoring, I caught the equipment malfunction within an hour and took immediate corrective action with equipment repair and adjusting land application rates. There was no runoff of waste into waters of the State (as documented by DWQ) and I have made additional land improvements to minimize my farm's impact on the environment. In light of the aforementioned facts, I request that DWQ: 1) amend the record for my farm by rescinding the erroneously cited violation for waste entering waters of the State, and 2) in lieu of a civil penalty assessment for the minor ponding of waste water on my farm,. take into consideration that the cost of a pivot irrigation system is approximately $45,000, and any civil penalty assessed will adversely affect my ability to acquire and install this more efficient and environmentally friendly technology. Please feel free to contact me at (910) 289-1564, if you have any questions. Sincerely Clay Carter �J+r- ••}a �' ' r '� �/� T A - ham.

This waste utihzation plan uses rfihog�t as the ImOng nutrient- Waste should be analyzed before each applimbon cycle- Annual soft tests are strongly enimraged so that all Plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic *Ids of the cW to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maAmize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. I - AkvaYs 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 uNize- 2. Soil types are Important as they have dWererd ration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. I Normally waste shall be applied to kW 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 fitter strips are established- 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface Is frozen. Either of these conditions may restill In runoff to surface waters which Is not allowed under DWO regulations. 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To ma.,dmize the value of the nuuiwft for crop production and to reduce the potential for POOLftn, the waste should be aWied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to plarift a OW of forages breakirM dorniancy.

The Farr 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 suture, regulations may require fanners 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 sic 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 matuft 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 panted 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 hest results.

Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either awns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on. which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing himther the use of the land for waste application. tt is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Utilization Plan when there is a charge in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, redeving anon type, or available land. 3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nstMen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moistum, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients. 4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year pn3vided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (See USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Fitter Strips). 5 Odors can be reducer) by injecting the waste or disking after waste application_ Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. B When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance). 7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies. 8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 1 of 3 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION. PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10 Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Wastelnuhient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients_ Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. 12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over praying.- Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist*_ Animal waste shalt not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16 domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 2of3 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas {lagoon embankments, bem-is, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure piano which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19 Waste handling structures. piping. pumps, reels, atc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption.

Klimek, P.E., Director Division of Water Quality Coleen H. Sullins, Deputy Director Division of Water Quality Subject: Notice of Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement Carter & Sons Hog Farm 1 &2 Facility Number: 31-160 Wallace, NC Duplin County This Notice of Violation is issued on this date to Mr. Coy Carter, ownerloperator of the Carter & Sons Hog Farm 1&2 covered under Certificate of Coverage AWS 310160. This Certificate of Coverage was issued by the State of North Carolina under Swine Waste Management System General NPDES Permit NCA200000. In response to a complaint on June 30, 2003 of waste in Stockinghead Creek, an inspection of this facility was performed by staff from the Wilmington Regional Office, Division of Water Quality. During this inspection several violations were observed and documented: These violations are listed as follows: Failure to Monitor Requirement Waste was being applied in the lower spray field by two separate spray guns. After the spray guns pulled all of their way into the reels or stop points, the spray guns continued to pump waste next to the reels for three hours (testimony from a witness), and as evident by the ponded waste and runoff. Because the operator had left the site, no one was left to properly maintain and operate the system. This is a violation of Condition II. 1 of the NPDES Permit NCA200000 that states, "The collection, treatment, and storage facilities, and land application equipment and fields shall be maintained at all times and properly operated at all times". 2. Ponded Waste and Runoff Waste from this application event ponded on site and ran off into a ditch that boarders the farm property. Sample results show ponded waste still present on Monday, two days after the application event. NN DENR N.C.

In no case shall land application rates exceed the Plant Available Nitrogen rate for the receiving crop or result in runoff during any given application event." 3. Discharging into Waters of the State Waste ran off of the spray field into a ditch that borders the farm property and then the waste discharged into Stockinghead Creek. The discharge volume is estimated at about 20,000 gallons. Photographs and sample results of Stockinghead Creek document this discharge. This is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 that states that no person shall make an outlet into the waters of the State without having obtained and abided by the appropriate permit. This is also a violation of Condition I. 1 of NPDES, Permit NCA 200000 that states in part, "The animal waste collection, treatment, storage and application system permitted underthis permit shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent the discharge of pollutants into surface waters, wetlands, or ditches." 4. Failure to Notify The Division was not notified by you or someone on your behalf regarding the discovery of the discharge. This is a violation of Condition I11.11. f of NPDES Permit NCA200000, which requires the Regional Office to be notified as soon as possible, not to exceed 24 hours. 5. Monitoring and Reporting Requirements When asked for the records that documented this spray event, there were none. The operator admitted to having applied waste but had no written records of any type for the spray event. This is a violation of Condition Ill. 6 of NPDES Permit NCA200000 that states in part that, "Records of all irrigation and land application events shall be maintained on forms provided or approved by the DWQ and shall be readily available for inspection". 6. Field Maintenance Requirements Field crops had not been properly managed. Last years crops were still standing in the field. New crop growth was also significantly hindered from excessive weed growth. Mr. Coy Carter October 28, 2003 Page 3 of 4 This is a violation of Condition II. 2 of the NPDES Permit NCA200000 that states in part that, "A vegetative cover shall be maintained on all land application fields in accordance with the CAWMP". 7. Lagoon Maintenance Requirments As shown in prior inspection report and the current condition of the lagoon dike walls, it is evident that the lagoons had not been maintained. This is in violation of Condition IL 11 of the NPDES Permit NCA200000 that states in part that, "trees, shrubs, and other woody vegetation shall not be allowed to grow on the lagoon/waste storage pond embankments. Lagoon/waste storage pond areas shall be accessible, and vegetation shall be kept mowed". 8. Public Notification Requirement As listed in the inspection report dated June 30, 2003, it was estimated that the discharge of animal waste to waters of the State is at least 20,000 gallons and that public notification is required. No proof that the public notification requirements were met have been submitted to this office. This is a violation of Condition III. 15 of the NPDES Permit NCA200000 that states, "A copy of all public notices and proof of publication must be sent to the Division within thirty (30) days of the discharge". , Response requirements are listed as follows: A written response must be submitted to the Wilmington Regional Office, Division of Water Quality that includes: a.

Therefore, some or all of your Tields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this designation, or a Professional Engineer. All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWQ within the next 180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation, and/or injunctive relief. Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office.

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 I I/15/99 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 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 (910) 395-3900.

On Aug. 27, 1997. Governor Hunt signed into law the Clean Water Responsibility Act. The Clean Water Responsibility Act included several changes to the Swine Farm Siting Act (Siting Act) including the requirement that all set back distances be met for any swine lagoon or swine house for which construction commences on or after the effective date of the Clean Water Responsibility Act -(Aug. 27, 1997). Before the Siting Act was amended, it required the set back distances be met at the time the swine house or lagoon was sited. The change in siting requirements -may apply _to your farm since construction may not have commenced by the effective date of the Clean Water Responsibility Act. Your farm was permitted prior to the effective date of the Clean Water Responsibility Act; therefore, you meet one of the exceptions to the moratorium. However, the farm must be re-evaluated and, if necessary, re -designed to meet the new requirements of the Siting Act to remain covered under the General Permit. Within 15 days of the date of this letter, you are requested to submit, notification to the Division of Water Quality whether the farm was under construction on or before Aug. 27, 1997. If the farm was not under construction on or before Aug. 27, 1997, then a revised Certified Animal Waste Management Plan must be submitted to reflect the new siting requirements. Construction not in compliance with the Siting Act is a violation of State Statutes and the General Permit. If you have any questions or comments concerning this matter, please gontact me at.

It was observed that some erosion of the clay liner has occurred on the lagoon. Large arts were observed in various sections of the inner dike walls of the lagoons. 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 was 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, bare spots on the laggon wall should be reseeded to prevent future erosion and the lagoon walls should be mowed. 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. 127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wmington, N.C. 28405-3945 a Telephone 910-395-3900 0 Fax 910-350-2004 An Equal opportunity Affirmative Action Employer f 1 P 421 256 316 US Postal Service _ Receipt for Certified Mail No Insurance Coverage Provided.
