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 r environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the heeds of the crop to F be grown and the nutrient content of the waste: Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per 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 ion 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 r� nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste shouldP H;C `' 1`% +`_ be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting.

Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has and agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strip). 5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) 7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. 8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. NUP Pages =� �=�- - WASTE�UTILIZA7fON-PLAN - _:- REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 9 Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10 Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable wither cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an ,irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14 Waste shall be applied in a manner. no to reach other property and public right -of ways. 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 wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialisf. 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 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. NUP Page 6 t lie ,WAS,TEmUTILIZATION 18 Waste hackling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 19 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption is should only be applied perplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 20 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 21 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 22 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

The failure occmed at approximately 10: I Onto while thaw technicians were conducting irrigation activities an the farm. One of the technicians was in route to shut the system down when the incident ot:caaed. This mecbanical ftibue allowed effluent to leave the was of the z-pipe and move down the lagoon bank onto the farm path The effluent then aged an area of surface water dramW and ultimately an am -named tributary of Millm Creek. The technicians immediately took measures to try and prevent the effluent from teacbing surface waters. One of the technicians notified his supervisor and myself. We arrived ou the scene at 10:20am Upon arrival, I observed one of the technicians using s tractor to create an earthen containment The remaining two technicians were using shovels and bad slowed the flow greatly. Shortly aft amvmg I iavWcted one of our heavy equipment operators on the a = to construct a containment basin just inside the woods to tap the effluent and surface water. The mixture was contained in the containment bum and pumped back into the lagoon. A lagoon sample was taken and seat to the lab for teats as required by our NPDES Permit There was no apparent cause for the failure of the schedule 80 PVC elbow on the z-Pipe. The system had been tuaaing normally for a couple ofbwrs priw to the failure. The z pipe had been previously been replaced on March 5,2004. Since this incident, the z-pipe has been replaced with a ductile iron -pumping riser in an attempt to prevent this from happening is the fimue. As was dacussed during the site visit with your staff the veto= of the discharge from earn irrigation system was estimated to be grew tbm 1,000 gallo s but lees than 5,000 gallons with less then 1,000 galtces reaching sabce waters. We hope this will answer any questions you may have about this incident, as well as plans for prevention in the future.

On June 18 and 19 you conducted 'inspection and noted deficiencies in several fields. These deficiencies were for a lack of adequate crop cover as listed in the CA WMP's. On fields in question the bermuda was sprigged in the spring of 2001. We planted matua as a cover crop in the fall and bad a good stand. We had to let the matua go to head so that it would re -seed itself for the next year. The crop was removed in May of this year. We feel that the mania may have shaded the bermuda and not allowed the sunlight it needed to grow. This and the unusually dry weather, which kept the plant stressed, contributed to the lack of bermuda, noticed in the fields. We feel that we did everything possible to keep the bermuda alive. We applied about sixty pounds of nitrogen to get the crop going and then applied effiuentat a lower nitrogen rate to keep the crop wet Even though we applied at agronomic rates the bermuda failed to survive in an amount that would constitute it being used as a receiving crop for animal waste. Our intentions are to correct the problem as soon as possible. We plan to harvest what forage is present through baying. We will not utilize the fields in question for the remainder of the bermuda season. We will assess our options during the next two months and plant a winter crop in September. We are currently revising our waste plans and have yet to determine if we will leave all these fields in hay or switch some of them to row crops. It will depend an what the waste plans will allow. In the spring we will plant row crops or plant forage for haying. We feel that this is the best approach to solve the problem at this late time of the year. We hope this answers any questions you may have about our plans to correct the deficiencies, as well as plans for prevention in the future.

Box 1076 Rose Hill, NC 28458 MA i 14 2001 May 11, 2001 The week of April 30'h, we received a notice of civil penalty against Magnolia sow farms 1 & 2 in the amount of $1,438.77. We have since remitted payment for this penalty. However, I feel that it is important to update your office as to our success in managing this system. I would ask for your cooperation in adding this correspondence to our file. We experienced rainfall in eleven consecutive weeks leading up to July 27, 2000. This rainfall varied weekly from 0.4 inches up to 5 inches. The total volume recorded during this period was over 14 inches. Prior to these rains, the Magnolia 2 sow farm lagoon had presented no problem at 27 inches of freeboard. All of the activities that I committed to you in my letter dated September 5, 2000 have been completed. We cultivated and replanted land, installed additional equipment for water conservation, cleared and developed a new sprayfield, and installed additional irrigation. The total cost of these projects was over $20,000. For the thirty-six weeks from September 3 until last week, we have maintained an average freeboard of 40.1 inches. During our DWQ routine compliance inspection on November 6 of 2000, the freeboard was at 55 inches. In our most recent routine compliance inspection conducted by Soil and water in April, we had 36 inches of freeboard. The most current freeboard at Magnolia 2 was 39 inches as of Friday. I believe that these facts speak strongly to both our commitment and ability to manage this waste system. We regret the unfortunate chain of events that led to the freeboard level of last July 27. We will make our absolute best effort to prevent a recurrence of this type problem. Sincerely, Terry.A. Tate .

DM Farms owns and operates Magnolia Sow Farms 1 & 2, a swine operation located on SR 1114 in Duplin County. C. DM Farms was issued Certificate of Coverage AWS310173 under General Permit AWG100000 for Magnolia Sow Farms 1 & 2 on December 18, 1998, effective December 18, 1998, with an expiration date of April 30, 2003. DM Farms has two waste storage lagoons. D. Condition No. V. 3. of the General Permit states in part that "The maximum waste level in lagoons/storage ponds shall not exceed that specified in the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). At a minimum, maximum waste level for lagoons/storage ponds must not exceed the level that provides adequate storage to contain the 25-year, 24-hour storm event plus an additional one (1) foot of structural freeboard." E. The 25-year, 24-hour storm event for the facility's location is between seven (7) and eight (8) inches according to National Weather Service, Technical Paper 40, Rainfall Frequency Atlas of the United States, 1961. F. Based on a 25-year, 24-hour storm event of seven (7) inches and one foot of required structural freeboard, the waste level in the lagoons for Magnolia Sow Farms 1 & 2 shall not exceed nineteen (19) inches. G. Condition No. M. 6. e. of the General Permit requires that the permittee shall report by telephone to the appropriate Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of the occurrence of failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage pond greater than or equal to that required in Condition V. 3. of the issued permit. H. DWQ staff from the Wilmington Regional Office inspected Magnolia Sow Farms 1 & 2 on July 27, 2000 and observed that the waste level of the Magnolia 2 lagoon was thirteen point five (13.5) inches which exceeded the level specified in the CAWMP. I. The Wilmington Regional Office had not received notification from DM Farms that the waste level exceeded the level specified in the CAWMP. J. The costs to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $438.77. Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following: II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: A. DM Farms is a "person" within the meaning of G.S. 143-215.6A pursuant to G.S. 143-212(4). B. A permit for an animal waste management system is required by G.S. 143-215.1. C. The above -cited failure to maintain the liquid level in the lagoon at the level. specified in the CAWMP violated Condition No. V. 3. of the General Permit. D. The above -cited failure to report by telephone to the appropriate Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of the occurrence of failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage pond greater than or equal to that required in Condition No. V. 3 violated Condition No. ]II. 6. e. of the General Permit. E. DM Farms may be assessed civil penalties pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2) which provides that a civil penalty of not more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) per violation may be assessed against a person who violates or fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1. F. The State's enforcement costs in this matter may be assessed against DM Farms pursuant to G.S. 143-215.3(a)(9) and G.S. 143B-282. I (b)(8). G. The Director, Division of Water Quality, pursuant to delegation provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, has the authority to assess civil penalties in this matter. Based upon the above Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, I make the following: III. DECISION: D.M. Farms of Rose Hill, L.L.C. is hereby assessed a civil penalty of: $ G 0 o , t]a for violating Condition No. V. 3. of the General Permit by failing to maintain the liquid level in the lagoon at the level specified in the CAWMP $ S00, do for violating Condition No. III. 6. e. of the General Permit by failing to report by telephone to the appropriate Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of the occurrence of failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage pond greater than or equal to that required in Condition No. V. 3 $ \ ,Goo , oo TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY, which is percent of the maximum penalty authorized by G.S. 143-215.6A. $ 438.77 Enforcement costs $ LLa's' .11 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE As required by G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I considered the factors listed in G.S. 14313-282.1(b), which are: (1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property resulting from the violation; (2) The duration and gravity of the violation; (3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality; (4) The cost of rectifying the damage; (5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance; (6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally; (7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and (8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.

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 Stoney Mathis on 11/10/99 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 Stoney Mathis the necessary information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre determination. Please submit this information to Stoney Mathis, 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 Stoney Mathis at (910) 395-3900. ff within 90 days you are unable to provide Stoney Mathis 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. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699.1617 Telephone 919-733-5083 Fax 919-715-6048 An Equal Opportunity AMrmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Notification for Wettable Acre Determination Animal Waste Management System Page 2 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.

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 12/18/98. Your annual permit fee for the period of 12/18/99 - 12/17/2000 is $300.00. Your payment was due 2/2312000. 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.

We are taking the following actions: - We harvested the crop on much of the acreage. This land was then cultivated. This totaled about 62 acres of sprayfield. This process addressed the concern you had with weed competition, as well as allowed us to land apply waste according to our plan. The acreage will be replanted as soon as weather permits. - We will continue to land apply according to our plan as weather permits. - We are installing additional timers within the farm in order to minimize fresh water usage. - We will continue to transfer waste into the second stage lagoon at Magnolia 1, as it has adequate storage. - We are working on a long-term pumping agreement, which will allow us to add additional acreage to our waste plan. We believe that these actions will allow us to increase our freeboard to an adequate level over the next thirty days. We will continue to intensively manage this system in order to maximize freeboard as fall approaches. Regards, D. M. Farms of Rose Hill, L.L.C. Terry ate Abq djg A. J.

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 psis are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic vields 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, caching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per 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 ion 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 he applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor rroblems. he estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient ontent 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 'or analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with i 5A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission, Page 1 WASTE -UTILIZATION PLAN Amount of Waste Produced Per Year (gallons. ft. tons. etc 7,000 6.1 2,000 animals X 1.9 (tons) waste/animal/year = 740 0.42 Amount of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) Produced Per Year 7,000 5.4 2,000 2.3 740 animals X 0.48 lbs.

On the fields with wheat/sovbean rotation the residual nitrogen from the sovbeans was deducted from the following wheat cro Page 4 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has and agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strip). 5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. 8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. Pages WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 9 Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10 Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable wither cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14 Waste shall be applied in a manner no to reach other property and public right -of ways. 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 wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that 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 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. Page 6 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 18 Waste hackling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 19 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption is should only be applied perplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 20 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 21 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained.

On December 10, 1992 the Environmental Management Commission adopted a water quality rule which governs animal waste management systems. The goal of the rule is for animal operations to be managed such that animal waste is not discharged to surface waters of the state. The rule allows animal waste systems to be "deemed permitted" if certain minimum criteria are met (15A NCAC 2H .0217). By submitting this registration you have met one of the criteria for being deemed permitted. We would like to remind you that existing feedlots which meet the size thresholds listed in the rule, and any new or expanded feedlots constructed between February 1, 1993 and December 31, 1993 must submit a signed certification form (copy enclosed) to DEM by December 31. 1997, New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31,-1993 must obtain signed certification before animals are stocked on the farm. Certification of an approved animal waste management plan can be obtained after the Soil and Water Conservation Commission adopts rules later this year. We appreciate you providing us with this information. If you have any question about the new nondischarge rule, please contact David Harding at (919) 733-5083. - Sincerely, a Steve Tedder, Chief Water Quality Section enc: P.O.

It was observed that lagoon #1 had insufficient freeboard. On January 8, 1998, a Notice of Deficiency was issued based on October 23, 1997 and November 24, 1997 inspections by the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Soil and Water. At those times, it was observed that lagoon #1 had insufficient freeboard. Insufficient freeboard is a violation of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP), and subsequent infractions may result in a Notice of Violation and include a civil penalty. The level of your waste lagoon must be lowered and maintained and proper records should be kept in accordance with the NRCS guidelines and the state 2H .0200 rules governing animal waste management systems. In addition, the broken inlet pipes in lagoons #1 and #2 should be extended and the eroded areas backfilled with clay and re -seeded with an appropriate vegetative cover. The storm water diversion on lagoon #2 should be repaired to prevent further erosion of the dike wall. Erosion areas on the inner dike wall of lagoon #2 should be filled with a suitable clay material, compacted and re -seeded with an appropriate vegetative cover. The bermuda crop should be well established in the spring of 1998. 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. 127 North Cardinal Dr., Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 Telephone 910-395-3900 FAX 910-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Z 312 648 754 us Postal SeWice Receipt`for Certified Mail No Insurance Coverage Provided.

Insufficient freeboard is a violation of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP), and subsequent infractions may result in a Notice of Violation and include a civil penalty. The level of your waste lagoon must be lowered and maintained and proper records should be kept in accordance with the NRCS guidelines and the state 2H .0200 rules governing animal waste management systems. In addition, the broken inlet pipes in lagoons #1 and #2 should be extended and the eroded areas backfilled with clay and re -seeded with an appropriate vegetative cover. The storm water diversion on lagoon #2 should be repaired to prevent further erosion of the dike wall. Erosion areas on the inner dike wall of lagoon #2 should be filled with a suitable clay material, compacted and re -seeded with an appropriate vegetative cover. The bermuda crop should be well established in the spring of 1998. 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. 127 North Cardinal Dr., Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 Telephone 910-395-3900 FAX 910-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Bruce Evans March 27, 1998 Page 2.

Number of Animals: - (Design Capacity) �Jr 00cede ✓ Tne waste from your animal faciIrty ffirst 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 C:op to be grown. Several factors are important in imolementing your waste utilization plan in order to In"imize 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 cop to be Crown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitronen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching p otentials_ cation exchanze capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than tons per acre per year. WAh special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raminY frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surfacerwa when whithe surface 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. Injectins the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. Tne 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. 10/�/5 animals X . `t3(amt.) waste/animal/Year = 2 i'o (amt.) waste/year. 7eAmount of Play Avmlable Nitrogen (PAN) Produced Per Year 106G sp•j s t-31 �ooO 5m animals X!Llbs.

REQ=D 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. 2_ There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing himlher the use of the land for waste application It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land_ Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per yearprovidmg grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strip). Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied wuen there is danger of drifrfrom the irrigation field- 6- When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding_ (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offste or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application No pouding should occur in order to control odor or flies. 8_ An.imai waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the srrface is frozen. REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 9- Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching.

Discharge rates and application rates change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular, Pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use, nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter. You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the application uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application uniformity. For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis TO ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used provided the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring. For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly throughou the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling guns, sprinklers should be located along a transact perpendicular to the direction Of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both sides of the oun cart. You should compute the average application rate for all nonunitormity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation dealer or technical specialist for assistance. 'Reprinted for Cerificarion Training for Operations of Animal Waste Management Systems Manual OPERATION S MAINTENANCE PLAN Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority. It is especially important to rnanage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and wet periods. Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means .that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to mainrai z the Loon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste utilization plat will allow it. Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to irrigate does not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods. Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of state law and subject to penalty action. The routine maLriumance of a lagoon involves the following: Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam. Fescue or common berm, udagrass are the most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fer cidizer applied should be based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas should be ferdiized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or equivalent. Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be done by mowing, suraving, grazing, chopping, or a combination of these Practices. This should be done at least once a year and possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for heavy vegetative growth. NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter the lagoon wat-en Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating the waste. Maintenance insoertions of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial fiUina of the lagoon and tar least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be checked should include, as a minimum, the following: Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pips —look for. 1, separation of joints 2. cracks or breaks 3. accumulation of salts or minerals 4• overall condition ofpipes Lagoon surface —look for: 1. undesirable vegetative growth ?. floating or lodged debris Embankment —look for: I. . settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes ? side slope stability —slumps or bulges 3. wet or damp areas on the back slope 4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action 5. rodent damage Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakenng the lagoon dam. A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the lagoon may be used to reduce the wave impacts. Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam: If your lagoon has any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a threat of a wisL. discharge. However, a permarlent solution should be reviewed by the technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious under —taking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless recommended by an appropriate technical expert. Trarisfer Pumps- ch--k for proper operation of: l recycling pumps 2. irrigation pumas Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or inding noise, or a u-;e amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or replacement - NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspe- ted and operated f ewuentiy enough so that you are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should _pe form yourpumping System maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its Iow level. This will allow some safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not.the time to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full, your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare parts or pumps. Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing (washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly. You should inspect your diversion system for the following: 1. adequate vegetation ? diversion capacity 3. ridge berm height Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system during or immediately following a heavy rain. If t=hnical assistance is needed to detc:tmine Droper solutions, consult with appropriate ezpe-rs. You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes the.- is no pumping). This writ give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount (you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should hei_D in planning ir.igation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you have an inflow problem from a sur."ace p water diversion or there may be se age into the lagoon from the surrounding land. Lagoon Operation .. . 1. immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare sort surfaces to avoid erosion. 2. : ill new Iagoon =gn treatment volume at least half full of water before waste loading begins, talking care not to erode lining or bank slopes.

It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy worsing swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 pe_ cent of the rull.Iagoon iiouid volume. This suing should occour at ie sr two weeks prior to the anaition of warwwaL:.. 6. lviaitntain a penodic check on the lagoon liquid p If the pH falls below 7.0, add agricultural lime at the sass of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.6. Optimum lagoon ligmd pH is berween 7.5 and 8.0. 7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate biological activity. Consultation with a technical sDer:alist is recommended if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, esuecally during the warm season. .• The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the betf=rthe lagoon will function. Flush syst--ms that wash waste into the Iagoon several times daily are optimum for treatmeinL Pit was systems, in which one or more buildings are drained and recharged ea: h day, also work wet. Practice water conservation —minimize building water usage and spillage from lcaS2ng waterers, broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenance and water conservanon. Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. T-nis will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and the full temporary srcrage level. Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liquid level and the maxim urn liquid. lever (Figure 2-1). Start irrigating at the earliest possible dare in the spring based on nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage will be mm"mized for the summer thunderstorms season. Similarly, irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter. _ The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest point of the dam or embankment. Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage level unless you areremoving sludge. Locate float pump inrakes approzimateiy 18 inches underneath the Epic'suzza e and as far away from the drainDlDe inies as uossible. - Prevent additions of bedding materials, Iong sre nmed forage orvege=on, molded f�, plzsuc sr,irtges, or other foreign t, - erials into the lagoon- -==*e-quently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or wa..rever they are in=lied. Mainmin strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon ed.. Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacty is full or before it fills 50 pe,-cent of the permane.-st storage volume. If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a closure plan to ell ninate the possibility of 2 pollutant discharge. Sludge.Removai: Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by: proper lagoon sizing, m--hanical solids separation of flushed waste, gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or minimizing feed waste and spillage. Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will: have more nutrients, have more odor, and rccuire more land to properly use the nutrients. Removal teciuucues: Fare a custom applicator. Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller rin pump through large -bore spkler i-r�igation system onto nearby cropland; and soil incorporate. Dewater the upper par of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or io:egeland; miX remZLinl sludge; pump into liquid sludge appiicamr, haul 2'td spread onto cropland or fora -eland; and soil incorboaaL.. Dewater the upper Dart of lagoon by _Pztior, onto nearby cropland or for�geiand; dredge siud_e from lagoon whit d-Mute or sludge b�rze; beat an area beside iagoon to receive the sludge so thzz. liquids can drain back into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater, haul and spread with manure sore der onto cropland or rorzz.1and; and soil incorporami. Regardless Of the me;ltod, you must have the sludge in, analyzed for waste constituents jut as you would your lagoon water. 7ne sludge wily contain differegt ntrtuent and me 1 values from the liquid. The appiicadon of the sludge to fields vQ be limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste appi cations to that field and cop rec-uirem=L Wzste application rate will be discuss,.^: in demE in Chapter 3. When removing siudge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close attention by the pumper or drag -lint operator will e.-rsure thar the lagoon liner remains intact. If ou see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should stop the aczivity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be removed without liner injury. If tine liner is damaged it must be rewired as soon as possible. Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphors and.heavy metal content than liquid. Sec; use of this it should probably be appi-ied to land with low phosphorus and metal levels. as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated coorated to reduce the chance of erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields wfth very ;-ugh soil -test phosphores, it should. be arviied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with othc w asLAs, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nuaient value. The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at t m waste application site. Extra pre,:,utioa should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which could increase the concern of neighbors. Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Tapes of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the am d. Rearming proper design and construction, the ownQ has the responsibility for - ensuring stru = safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include: Modification of the lagoon strucuuz---an example is the placement of a pipe in the dam without proper design and contraction. (Consultanexpert in lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams-) Lagoon liquid levels —high levels.are a safety ask. Failure to inspect and maintain the dam. Excess surface wares flowing into the lagoon. Liner integrity—promct from inlerpipe scotrting, damage during siudge removal, or rupture from iowezing lagoon liquid level below groundwater table. NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon cause gullies to form in the dam. Once this dame wstarts, it can auickiy.ause a large alscaarge Of wastewater and possible dam failure.

Emergency Spillway: An Emergency Spillway is required due to design guidelines. SHWT: Subsurface drain tile will be installed adjacent to the lagoon as shown on the site drawing. The tile is being installed to keep the seasonal high water table adjacent to the lagoon at or below the stop pump elevation. NOTE: See attached Waste Utilization P14&. d o"%,; DESIGNED: DATE: COMMENTS: The lagoon has been designed as r:r a146p Actual contour areas taken from the lagoon design are used to calculate the surface area and storage volume characteristics of the lagoon. This approach insures that rainfall capture on the lagoon is fully accounted for and that storage volumes calculated represent actual conditions regardless of the shape.

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 foundatio6 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 material may 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 equivalent method. Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectable. 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 with an impoundment capacity of 10 acre—feet or more fall under the jurisdiction of the NC Dam Safety Law and require permitting by the NC Dept. of Environment and Natural Resources, Land Quality Section. 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 CLAY LINER THICKNESS SHALL BE 0.0 FT. NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN INDICATED ON THE DRAWINGS OR WHEN MATERIAL IS ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION THAT WILL NOT PROVIDE THE PERMEABILITY LIMITS AS STATED LATER IN THIS SECTION. SUCH MATERIAL IS CONSIDERED UNSUITABLE WITH RESPECT TO LINING'A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER IS INCLUDED IN THE DRAWINGS WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED. Family Farms Engineering P.O. Box 759, Rose Hill NC 28458 (910) 289-21 11 ADDRESS: 893 ISHAM FREDRICK RD CHECKED BY: JES MAGNOLIA, NC 28453 (910)293-4048 DATE: 01/06/98 COUNTY: DUPLIN SHEET 2 OF 3 When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be overexcavated 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 material approved by the engineer or his representative. REFER TO THE DRAWINGS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS. Soil liner material shall come from an approved borrow area. The minimum moisture 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 moisture content during placement The maximum moisture 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 95 percent of the Standard Proctor Maximum Dry Density (ASTM D698) 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 permeability 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 in an established pattern helps assure uniformity in the entire placement and compaction process. For most clay soils, a tamping or sheepsfoot roller is the preferred type of compaction equipment. In accordance with NRCS South National Technical Center (SNTC) Technical Note 716 (revised September 1993) the maximum allowable specific discharge of the liner is 1.0 x 10-1 cm/sec. This specific discharge is dependant on the permeability of the liner material, the liner thickness, and the hydrostatic pressure on the liner. With the minimum required liner thickness stated earlier and the maximum liquid depth in the lagoon, the maximum permeability of the compacted liner is 1.25 x 10-6cm/sec. Upon completion of the liner, undisturbed samples will be taken and tested for actual permeability. Any permeability tests indicating a higher permeability than stated above will be considered as failing. Failing tests will require recompaction of the liner material and retesting. For lagoons being built in soils which do not require clay lining the same permeability requirements apply as for clay liners and testing of the in —situ material will be conducted. During the excavation process, soils at the excavated surface are loosened as adjacent material is being removed. As a result, the permeability of these surface soils is increased. To insure proper compaction and minimum soil permeability, when lagoon excavation is complete the inner side slopes and bottom shall be rolled thoroughly prior to testing.

This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator: concrete flumes, concrete blocks laid tightly together, or using flexible pipe 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 or are shown on the drawings. CUTOFF TRENCH: A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when called for in the notes on the drawings or as shown on a typical cross section on the drawing. The final s dimensions of the cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation materials during construction. 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 the seeding specifications. Topsoil, if available on site should be placed on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch shall be used if 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: An observation trench shall be dug along the perimeter of the lagoon 25 feet outside the proposed embankment toe to verify that no subsurface drain tile lines are present in the lagoon area. The trench shall be dug to a minimum depth of five feet and shall have a width adequate to accommodate equipment used for backfill and compaction. Trench side slopes shall be 1:1 or flatter. Trench backf ill shall be compacted as stated in the EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT section of the specification. When tile drains are encountered, the the will be removed to a minimum of 25 feet beyond the outside toe of slope of the dike. The tile trench shall be backfilled and compacted with material approved by the engineer or his representative. Tile drains that are not removed shall be either capped off or rerouted around the lagoon, as directed by the engineer or his representative. SAFETY AND HEALTH REQUIREMENTS: All operations shall be carried out in a safe, skillful, and workmanlike manner. All safety and health regulations shall be observed and appropriate personal safety and heA measures used at all times during construction. Family Farms P.O.

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 120 days of temporary storage for: (1) manure production of animals, (2) excess fresh water storage, (3) rainfall in excess of evaporation, (4) storage for the 25 year / 24 hour storm for the location, (5) and, if applicable, an additional "heavy rain" storage volume for chronic rainfall events. Allocation for any additional fresh water usage is also included in the temporary storage. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the 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 staff gauge must be installed in the lagoon that indicates the start pumping and stop pumping levels. The start pumping level is the maxium liquid level under normal operating conditions. The stop pumping level is the minimum liquid level under normal operation to maintain required treatment volume and depth. Pumping can be started and stopped anywhere 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. However, it is recommended that the lagoon be kept pumped down as much as possible. Land application of wastewater is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling guns.. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops or runoff to surface waters. The following items are to be carried out: 1. It is required that the treatment lagoon be precharged to one—half the treatent volume or as otherwise specified on the lagoon design drawings before wastes are introduced. The purpose is 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. The plan recommends sampling and testing of waste before land application. a Murohv Familv Fauns P.O.

Begin temporary storage pump —out of the lagoon when the fluid level reaches the elevation 89.70 as marked by the staff gauge. Stop pump —out when the fluid level reaches elevation 82.90. This temporary storage, less 25 year / 24 hour storm, contains 1363569 cubic feet or 10199499 gallons. 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. 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. 6. Repair any eroded or damaged areas 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 such that waste will not reach other property or public rights —of —way. 9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. Waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by either discharge or by over —spraying. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality, has the responsiblilty for enforcing this law. Family Farms Engineering P.O.

SHEET 1 OF 2 Emergency Action Plan Using this outline as guidance, you should develop a specific emergency action plan for your waste handling system.. This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking, overflowing, or running off the site. You should NOT wait until wastes reach surface water or leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be available to all employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and breaks could happen at any time. Your plan should follow this format: 1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested responses to problems are listed below: A. Lagoon overflow —possible solutions are: add soil to berm to temporarily increase elevation of dam —any permanent alteration of the dam should be approved by a qualified professional engineer or qualified technical specialist pump wastes to field at an acceptable rate stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waters) --hold waste in house ifpossible call a pumping contractor make sure no surface water is entering lagoon NOTE: The above listed activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the temporary storage level. B. Runoff from waste application field —actions include: immediately stop waste application create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field incorporate waste to reduce further runoff C. Leakage from the waste distribution system: pipes and sprinklers —actions include: — stop recycle (flushing system) pump — stop irrigation pump — close valves to eliminate further discharge — separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow flush system, houses, solids separators —actions include: — stop recycle (flushing system) pump — stop irrigation pump — make sure no siphon effect has been created — separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow D. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often these are seepage as opposed to flowing leaks —possible action*: dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage; put in a submersible pump, and pump back into lagoon if holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a clayey soil other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil Farms P.O.
