Troxler Commissioner Mr. Ivey Timothy Nethercutt 1068 Dobson Chapel Rd. Magnolia, NC 28453 July 26, 2016 Dear Mr. Nethercutt North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services Agronomic Division Dr. Colleen Hudak -Wise Director At your request, I visited your Limestone Creek Farm, Facility 31-182, off NC I I I just north of East Duplin High School, during the week of July 11, 2016. Your father met me at the site. The purpose was to assess the vegetative condition of the hayfields receiving effluent applications, and produce agronomic recommendations regarding their management and compliance. My findings are a professional opinion only; the NCDA&CS Agronomic Division has no regulatory enforcement authority. My findings will be shared with the NCDENR Division of Water Resources, however. I found that the bermudagrass stands were almost non-existent. There was some remnant bermudagrass in spots, mostly on the field borders, but there was little to none across the field centers where waste is applied. In my opinion, the site should be completely renovated to bring it into compliance with the terms of the WUP. I was hoping to find enough bermudagrass to be able to salvage the stand with a combination ofjudicious mowing and a herbicide application, but that, unfortunately, was not the case. At the time of the visit, I did not have access to the WUP for the farm, so a cursory check of the soil type using the Soil Web phone app suggested it was a Marvyn Series; I believe that to be inaccurate, as the Marvyn-Gritney soil comples, as mapped in Duplin county has slopes of 6 to 15 percent, and though the surrounding upland terrain may have such slopes, the fields clearly do not. I suspect due to their small size, they are simply soil inclusions within a larger mapping unit. Also, there appeared to be a wetness problem and high water table that would not be associated with that soil type. Therefore I don't have valid information as to soil type, and was unable to identify it via the MRCS Web Soil Survey. If the information can be provided to me from the WUP, I can better formulate a recommendation. However, the site clearly has a high water table and wetness issues. Therefore, it is not a site well -suited to hybrid bermudagrass in my opinion. I suggest having a soil scientist from the Division of Soil and Water Conservation better class the soils in those specific fields to confirm my general observation. If I am correct, I believe you would benefit from having a technical specialist rewrite the WUP and make a crop change to a cycle of annuals; small gain (silage) sown in the fall and harvested as balage in April, followed by a sorghum-sudan hybrid, or pearl millet, sown in May and harvested twice as balage during the summer. The selected summer annual could also be replanted during its production season, if needed, should some stand damage occur. For now, I suggest continuing to harvest the existing crop until mid -August. Allow a few inches of regrowth, then apply a glyphosate herbicide (Roundup or generic) at 2 Ib/A a.i. (2 quarts/acre of a 4L product) in order to destroy the existing vegetation. Two applications may be needed. It is important to reduce the pressure from the nutsedge and vaseygrass on the site. Once the vegetation has been killed, prepare the land with a thorough tillage, using the opportunity to shape or plane the fields to eliminate any wet pockets and establish a uniform slope. After the land shaping, soil test for possible lime or fertilizer needs and then sow a small grain as a silage crop by mid -October. 1040 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1040 (919) 733-2655 0 Fax (919) 733-2837 TTY: 1-800-735-2962 Voice: 1-877-735-8200 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer The application rates may be based off your currently given soil types, but I think it would be a good idea, as 1 said earlier, to have those confirmed by a soil scientist with DS WC. However, if you can provide me with the soil types listed on WUP, I can better assess the PAN utilization and preferred crops. Next spring, a decision can be made as to whether to reestablish bermudagrass or to convert to an annual forages rotation. If my impression of the water table and drainage conditions is correct, I think the latter will be a more successful system than the former. Please call if 1 can be of further service.

Appendix 3. Worksheet for sludge volume and treatment volume Revised August 2008 The average thickness of the sludge layer and the thickness of the existing liquid (sludge -free) treatment zone are determined from the information on the Lagoon Sludge Survey Farm ( Items 0 and P, respectively). In this example, the average sludge layer thickness Is 2.5 feet and the existing liquid treatment zone Is 3.5 feet. If the lagoon has a designed sludge storage volume, see notes at and of the worksheet. The dimensions of the lagoon as measured and the side slope are needed far calculations of sludge volume and of total treatment volume. If the lagoon is a standard geometric shape, the sludge volume aril the treatment volume in the lagoon can be estimated by using standard equations. For approximate volumes of rectangular lagoons with constant side slope, calculate length and width at the midpoint of the layer, and multiply by layer thickness to calculate layer volume, ea shown In the example. For Irregular shapes, convert the total surface area to a square or rectangular shape. For exact volumes for lagoons with constant side slope, the'Prismoklal Equations" may be used. • Example Your Lagoon 1. Average sludge Layer Thickness (T) 2.5 ft. 3.2 ft. 2.

Note: If the lagoon has a designed sludge storage volume (DSSV), subtract that volume from troth the volume of sludge (Vs) (Item 8) and from the volume of total treatment zone (Vz) (Item 14). and take the ratio. Then, R = (Vs-DSSV) / (Vz - DSSV) Example: If DSSV = 85,000 fe, then R = (169,860 - 85,000) / (444,174 - 85,000) = 64,860 / 359,174 = 0.24. 16. Design sludge storage volume (DSSV) - 85,000 0 17.

Worksheet for sludge volume and treatment volume Revised August 2008 The average thickness of the sludge layer and the thickness of the existing liquid (sludge -free) treatment zone are determined from the Information on the lagoon Sludge Survey Form ( Items 0 and P, respectively). In this example, the average sludge layer thickness Is 2.5 feet and the existing liquid treatment zone Is 3.5 feet. If the lagoon has a designed sludge storage volume, see notes at and of the worksheet. The dimensions of the lagoon as measured and the side slope are needed for calculations of sludge volume and of total treatment volume. If the lagoon is a standard geometric shape, the sludge volume and the treatment volume in the lagoon can be estimated by using standard equations. For approximate volumes of rectangular lagoons with constant side slope, calculate length and width at the midpoint of the layer, and multiply by layer thickness to calculate layer volume, as shown in the example. For irregular shapes, convert the total surface area to a square or rectangular shape. For exact volumes for lagoons with constant side slope, the "Prismoidal Equations" may be used.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. Page: 1 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 3552 pigs x .40 tors waste/pigs/year='1420.8 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 3552 pigs x .48 lbs PAN/pigs/year = 1704.96 lbs. PAN/year Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

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

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 269.952 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 1349.76 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 4.4992 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 10.79808 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25a depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and Page: 7 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts. I Tract I Field 5817 P1.

Your facility is designed for 180.00 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6.00 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is.the responsibility,of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct. rates to the acres shown in Tables i and 2. Failure to apply the.recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount .of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.

Page: 9 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 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 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. 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 ootential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. Page: 10 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 10.

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 they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharges 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. Page: 11 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 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 preplant 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. 22.

There may be lowered levels of anaerobic activity in the lagoon resulting in this increase since previous sludge removal within the past 5 years. 1) Ptrchme of micmhials to add to the lagoon to increase anaerobic activity. 2) Agitate the lagoon with a PTO driven unit so as to mix in the additives and help with the anaerobic activity. 3) Monitor the ph of lagoon samples for any adjustments that need to be made. 4) Resurvey the sludge levels within 6 months of starting this process. Have spoken with Amanda Hatcher (NCCES-DUPLIN COUNTY) for any suggestions and to rmonduct the sludge survey. PLAN OF ACTION FOR THE REMOVAL OF LAGOON SLUDGE If the attempt to reduce sludge levels with additives and agitation does not work sufficiently, land application will be the action taken. Have spoken with another farmer who tcnds row crops in the immediate area about the possibility of sludge application as alternative to commercial fertilizer for either corn, wheat, or soy beans depending on which crop he plans to use and the time of year for proper crop.

Box 702, Kenansville, NC 28349 Facility #: 31-182 Receiving Stream: N/A Classification: N/A Regional Office: Wilmington Inspector: Amanda Gaines Report Prepared By: Amanda Gaines Case Narrative: On March 19, 2009, Ms. Amanda Gaines from the Wilmington Regional Office conducted a routine compliance inspection at the Limestone Creek Farm facility. While reviewing the records for the facility several violations of the permit were noted. Irrigation had occurred at the facility without a waste analysis being collected within the sixty day time frame allotted by the permit and lagoon waste levels had not been recorded since the week of October 12, 2008. Additionally, the Division of Soil and Water Conservation noted, in October M08 during the attempted operation review, that the sludge was being cleaned out of the lagoons. The grower did not meet the Soil and Water inspector for the operation review and no records were provided. During the March 2009 compliance inspection, no paperwork was found with the farm records in regards to the sludge clean out event. An inspection report was left at the farm on March 19, 2009, detailing the violations and the materials requested. The inspection report also included the deadlines for getting the requested materials to the Wilmington Regional Office. A Letter of Concern was issued on March 24, 2009 as a follow up to the March 19, 2009 inspection. The Letter of Concern again detailed the violations, the materials requested, and the deadlines. In addition, the Letter of Concern expressed the intent to initiate a Notice of Violation (NOV) if the materials were not received. The letter invited Mr. Nethercutt to come to the Wilmington Regional Office to meet with the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) and.discuss how to remedy the violations and prevent any future violations. Mr. Nethercutt never attempted contact with DWQ. On May 7, 2009, Toni King, a Technical Specialist with Murphy Brown, emailed DWQ an unsigned and undated nutrient management plan for the sludge removal. Upon speaking to Ms. King, it was discovered that the plan had not been prepared prior to the October 2008 sludge clean out event. According to Mr. Nethercutt, the company that performed the sludge clean out has not sent him any paperwork about the clean out event. On May 14, 2009, Mr. Nethercutt faxed completed lagoon level records, some waste analyses, and his written response. The lagoon level records were filled in after the March 2009 inspection by using data called into the integrator. The waste analyses that were sent do not cover the irrigation event cited in the NOV. The written response cites job pressures as the reason for the violations as well as having difficulty getting the company that performed the sludge clean out to produce records. On May 18, 2009, Ms. King emailed Slur-2 forms. After speaking with Ms. King, it appears that there is still no documentation to support the information on the forms. At this time, the following documents that were requested have not been received by DWQ: the waste analyses for the sludge, the soil analyses, the map of the fields, the signed nutrient management plan, a land owner's agreement, and documentation of how much sludge was removed and applied by the company that removed the sludge. A file review for the facility indicates that during the June 14, 2007, April 28, 2006, and July, 15, 2005 inspections Mr. Nethercutt was informed about the permit condition for waste analyses being conducted within sixty days of a pumping event. Farm and/or Company Compliance History: Include a cony of CAFO Designation letters previous NOV's, NOD's previous civil assessments, etc. December 10, 2003 Notice of Deficiency issued for inadequate freeboard. Amount of Waste Discharge (if applicable). if amount cannot be estimated what is the rate of flow reaching surface water. N/A Sample Results (If applicable) with locations of samples taken noted in relation to the discharge point: N/A Violator's degree of cooperation (including efforts to prevent or restore) recalcitrance: The violator has not been very cooperative. The violator started being uncooperative when he failed to meet Mr. John College from the Division of Soil and Water Conservation for his fall 2008 operation review. Also, at this time he has made no effort to contact Mr. College. Additionally, the violator cancelled the scheduled compliance inspection three times. Once was due to illness and there was twenty-four hour notice. The remaining two were cancelled the day they were scheduled to be conducted and the reason the violator gave was that he had something he had to get done that day. After his last cancellation, he was notified by DWQ that the records needed to be made available the following day. After the inspection, the violator did not make contact with DWQ. He was sent a Letter of Concern to outline the violations from the inspection report. He did not make contact with DWQ or send the requested material. A NOV was issued outlining the violations and requesting certain materials. He responded to the NOV one day before the deadline; however, he did not submit all the material requested. The inspection report and Letter of Concern also asked for a second set of material due to DWQ by May 20, 2009. At this time, that material has not been received by DWQ and a second NOV has been issued. Fish kill observed? Y/N If yes, include report from WRC: N/A Mitigating Circumstances: No mitigating circumstances. Recommendation: The Wilmington Regional Office is recommending assessment of civil penalties to the Director of the Division of Water Quality pursuant to G.S.-143-215.6A. Assessment Factors required to be considered by G.S. 143B-282.1(b): 1. The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property resulting from violation: Not documented. 2. The duration and gravity of the violation: The freeboard records were not properly recorded since the week of October 12, 2008. The waste analyses were not collected at sufficient intervals to cover the March 12, 2008 pumping event. Additionally, it has been noted on inspection reports since 2005 that the waste analyses have not been collected at proper intervals. The sludge was removed in October 2008 without a waste utilization plan and the documentation for the sludge clean out event that has been sent to DWQ is incomplete and insufficient to determine that it was properly applied. 3. The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality: Not measured. 4. The cost of rectifying the damage: Unknown. 5. The amount of money saved by noncompliance: The amount of money saved by noncompliance may be that amount of money that it would cost to have the lagoon waste analyzed. That would have cost five dollars a sample and four samples a year is recommended. 6. Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally: Unknown. 7. The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs . over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority: Notice of Deficiency was issued on December 10, 2003 for inadequate freeboard. 8.

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 p1'nt nutrients ca„be._.. » balanced for realistic yields of the crop tolbe grown. , Several factors are important in implementing your waste utiLzacibn plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentaily safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content'of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities., 3. Normally waste shall' be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre I annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed a under DWQ regulations. EDIDENRIDWO QnTFcmoN gFCTION R 0 1 7nn4 Page:1 MurphpBrown.,.'

Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for such request: Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and `agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered: (1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 143B-282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the violator; (2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation; (3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident; (4) whether the violator has been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or (5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions. Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission. In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for Remission of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should be submitted to the following address: Miressa D.

Bush, Jr., Chief of the Aquifer Protection Section of the Division of Water (DWQ), make the following: FINDINGS OF FACT: A. Ivey Timothy Nethercutt owns and operates the Limestone Creek Farm, a permitted swine animal feeding operation in Duplin County. B. Ivey Timothy Nethercutt was issued Certificate of Coverage AWS310182 under Swine Waste Management System General Permit AWG100000 for the Limestone Creek Farm on October 1, 2004, effective upon issuance, with an expiration date of September, 30 2009. C. Condition No. 111. 5. of the General Permit AWG100000 states in part that "An analysis of the animal waste shall be conducted in accordance with recommended laboratory sampling procedures as close to the time of application as practical and at least within sixty (60) days (before and after) of the date of application." D. Condition No. III. 2.a of the General Permit AWG100000 states in part that, "The waste level in each lagoon with a waste level gauge shall be monitored and recorded weekly on forms supplied by or approved by the Division" E. Condition 11. 12. of the General Permit AWGI00000 states in part that, "At the time of sludge removal from a lagoon/storage pond, the sludge must be managed in accordance with the CAWMP." F. DWQ staff from the Wilmington Regional Office inspected Limestone Creek Farm on March 19, 2009 and found that irrigation had occurred on the farm and the waste analyses in the records were inadequate. Ivey Timothy Nethercutt has been notified on three previous inspections (July 2005, April 2006, and June 2007) that his waste analyses were not meeting the permit requirements. G. On March 19, 2009, it was discovered that the waste level of the lagoon had not been recorded since the week of October 12, 2008. H. On October 31, 2008, the Division of Soil and Water Conservation noted that a sludge removal was in progress. On March 19, 2009, it was discovered that there was no record of the sludge removal, and no records related to land application of the sludge. I. DWQ responded by issuing the facility a Notice of Intent to Enforce on April 22, 2009. The costs to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $81.33. Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following: II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: A. Ivey Timothy Nethercutt 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 conduct waste analyses within sixty days of the date of application violated Condition No. 111. 5. of the General Permit. D. The above -cited failure to record weekly freeboard levels violated Condition No. III. 2.a of the General Permit. E.

The C and Z symbols are printed on your report for soil test index levels of 2000 or more; for peanuts with zinc, the level is 300. This note is designed to be a "trigger" that allows enough time to either reduce the rate of application or find another field for O application of biosolids and/or waste water. The CTL (critical toxic level) for Cu & Zn has been set at 3000 index; for peanuts with zinc, the level is 500. These levels are used by DENR as a benchmark to determine when application of waste products should be stopped. The CTL for copper and zinc was set to prevent levels from accumulating to the point where they become toxic to crops grown on a field. David H.

His system needs to be evaluated for adequacy. He purchased farm last August or so. OHis fields are hurting and he has 1 hydrant to feed 2 small fields that is in the middle of a 1-2 acre wetland between them. The previous owner was supposedly busted by the Corp for clearing the wetland area and forced not to use it. He still uses the hydrant with a berm built up around it and it is standing in 2 feet of water/waste most of the time which is not good for stability. He has another field with 1 hydrant that may work OK for his purposes. We want to see that hydrant in the wetland taken out of service or removed. He is looking at perhaps putting in a mini -gun system or supplementing the hydrant system with them. I told him to touch base with you about helping him out on replacement of the wetland hydrant and a design or any other additions. Also, he has been using a flow rate of 165 gpm I think with a 10 hp electric pump and a reel. I thought this seemed a little too high and asked him to touch base about this as well. He was sitting at less than 24" in his 2 lagoons, but the markers were totally inadequate so I guessed 23", I asked him to address this as well. He works for Carroll's and can be reached at 910-296-1685 (H) 293-3434 or 3430 (W) if he hasn't already touched base with you. Questions, let me know.

Stevens, Director June 4, 2001 CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED Ivey T. Nethercutt Limestone Creek Farm PO Box 702 Kenansville NC 28349 1� NCDENR NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination Animal Waste Management System Limestone Creek Farm Facility Number 31-182 Duplin County Dear Ivey T. Nethercutt: A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your plan. An evaluation by Brian Wrenn on 5/25/99 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. If 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 Affirmative 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 Detenninations. 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.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATIONIPLAN S. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste applicationmethod shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, ;you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. I The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from you -- waste management facility. In some cases you may.want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiv ng waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis1content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out,imeets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 3552 pigs x .40 tons waste/pigs/year = 1420I.8 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 3552 pigs x .48 lbs PAN/pigs/year = 1704.96 lbs. PAN/year Applying the above amount of waste is a big;job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. Page: 1 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 3552 pigs x .40 tons waste/pigs/year = 1420.8 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 3552 pigs x .48 lbs PAN/pigs/year = 1704.96 lbs. PAN/year Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

Waste application may begin up to thirty(30) days prior to planting or green -up of forages, and extend past optimum dates shown if plant growth, pumping conditions, and PAN loading rates permit. In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing, hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain to reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving I ull application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 269.952 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 1349.76 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen, per acre, you will need 4.4992 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 10.79808 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25°- depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and Page: 7 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

In many situations, the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum Page: 8 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for I80.00 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6.00 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION CHIS WUP IS WRITTEN BASED ON A WETTED ACRES FOOTPRINT COMPLETED BY BILLY ?OUSTON OF DUPLIN SOIL AND WATER(SEE ATTACHED). Page: 9 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS I. 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 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 pending should occur in order to control odor or flies. B. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. Page: 10 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum -and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking 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 not 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 cropland provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharges 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 or, 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. Page: 11 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 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 preolant 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. 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 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. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Dom: USE ONLY:AC.Y`,+# OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority. It is especially important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and wet periods. Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste utilization plan will allow it. Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to irrigate does not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods. Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of state law and subject to penalty action. The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following: Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam. Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or equivalent. Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of these practices. This should be done at least once a year and possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for heavy vegetative growth. NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating the waste. Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be checked should include, as a minimum, the following: Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes ---look for: 1. separation of joints 2. cracks or breaks 3. accumulation of salts or minerals 4. overall condition of pipes Lagoon surface ---look for: 1. undesirable vegetative growth 2. floating or lodged debris Embankment ---look for: 1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes 2. side slope stability ---slumps or bulges 3. wet or damp areas on the back slope 4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action 5. rodent damage Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam. A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the lagoon may be used to reduce the wave impacts. Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your lagoon has any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a threat of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless recommended by an appropriate technical expert. Transfer Pumps ---check for proper operation of: 1. recycling pumps 2. irrigation pumps Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding noise, or a large amount of.vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or replacement. NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your pumping system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full, your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare parts or pumps. Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing (washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly. You should inspect your diversion system for the following: 1. adequate vegetation 2. diversion capacity 3. ridge berm height Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts. You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount (you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the lagoon from the surrounding land. Lagoon Operation Startup: Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil surfaces to avoid erosion. 2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of the lining. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather). It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon liquid volume. This seeding should occour at least two weeks prior to the addition of wastewater. 6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below 7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid pH is between 7.5 and 8.0. 7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm season. Loading: The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained and recharged each day, also work well. Management: Practice water conservation ---minimize building water usage and spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenance and water conservation. Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and the full temporary storage level. Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1). Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly, irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter. The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest point of the dam or embankment. Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage level unless you are removing sludge. Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible. Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation, molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon. Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or wherever they are installed. Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges. Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment. Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is full or before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume. If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a pollutant discharge. Sludge Removal: Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by: proper lagoon sizing, mechanical solids separation of flushed waste, gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or minimizing feed wastage and spillage. Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will: have more nutrients, have more odor, and require more land to properly use the nutrients. Removal techniques: Hire a custom applicator. Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland; and soil incorporate. Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate. Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate. Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3. When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as possible. Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphores, it should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value. The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site. Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which could increase the concern of neighbors. Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include: Modification of the lagoon structure ---an example is the placement of a pipe in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams.) Lagoon liquid levels ---high levels are a safety risk. Failure to inspect and maintain the dam. Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon. Liner integrity ---protect from inlet pipe scouring, damage during sludge removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater table. NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon cause gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large discharge of wastewater and possible dam failure.

(Written approval of the State Veterinarian must be attached) System Calibration Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular, pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use, nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter. You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the application uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application uniformity. For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because they already have a graduated scale from which to read the applicationmount aabuckets, without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used provided the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring. For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly throughout the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both sides of the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for all nonuniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation dealer or technical specialist for assistance. -Reprinted for Certification Training for Operations of Animal Waste Management Systems Manual EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN PHONE NUMBERS DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY (DWQ) (910)395-3900 EMERGENCY MANAGEMNET SERVICES (EMS) (910)296-2160 SOIL AND WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT (SWCD) (910)296-2120 NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE (NRCS) (910)296-2121 COOPERATIVE EXTERSION SERVICE (CES) (910)296-2143 This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking, overflowing or running off site.

K ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN " Producer: IVEY TIMOTHY NETHERCUTT Location: PO BOX 702 RENANSVILLE NC 28349 Telephone: 910-296-1685 Type Operation: Existing Wean to Feeder Swine Number of Animals: 3552.00 pigs (Design Capacity) STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon APPLICATION METHOD: Irrigation The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface.is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. Page: 1 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop .or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. - Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 3552 pigs x .40 tons waste/pigs/year = 1420.8 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 3552 pigs x .48 lbs PAN/pigs/year = 1704.96 lbs. PAN/year Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

Waste application may begin up to thirty(30) days prior to planting or green -up of forages, and extend past optimum dates shown if plant growth, pumping conditions, and PAN loading rates permit. In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing, hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain to reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 269.952 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge'every 5 years, you will have approximately 1349.76 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland.at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 4.4992 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 10.79808 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 251 depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables '1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and Page: 7 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

In many situations, the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for 180.00 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6.00 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored Page: 8 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION Page: 9 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 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 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 cropsor 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. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. Page: 10 l WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking 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 not 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 cropland provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharges 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. Page: 11 it WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 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 preplant 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. 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 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. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

C OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) with min. odor control. The time required for the planned fluid level to be reached (permanent + temporary storage) may vary due to soil conditions flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. The designed 6 months temporary storage is an estimated volume based on: 1) waste from animals; 2) excess rainfall after evaporation; and 3) the largest 24 hour (one day) rainfall that occurs on the average of once every 25 years. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year. This estimate is based on 7 inches of excess rainfall which is equal to or exceeds the highest 6 months excess in a year. The average annual excess rainfall is approximately 8 inches. Therefore, an average of 8 inches of excess rainfall will need to be pumped each year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available. A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from building(s). If the outlet pipe is not installed on the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed on this elevation to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain minimum treatment depth (6 feet). Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without. runoff or leaching. Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out: 1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre - charged to 1/2 its capacity.to prevent excessive odors during start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete, flush buildings with -recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after initial filling. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment) before land application. 3. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva- tion 44.4 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches elevation 42.6 or before the fluid depth is less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable bacteria). The design temporary storage, less 25 year storm is 22522 cubic feet or 168465 gallons. As stated before, this volume will vary considerably from year to year. 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 inch per hour. 5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. 6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and establish in vegetation. 7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets. 8. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well. 9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ- mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law. SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS Clearing: All trees and brush shall be removed from the construction area before any excavating or fill is started. Stumps will be removed within the area of the foundation of the embankment and fill areas and all excavated areas. All stumps and roots exceeding one (1) inch in diameter shall be removed to a minimum depth of one (1) foot. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly before placement of embankment material. Lagoon site (and pad site if needed) to be stripped of topsoil (311) and stockpiled for use on dike and pad slopes (2-311). The topsoiling quantity is in excess of amounts specified on page one (1). Cut-off Trench: --------------- A cut-off trench (when specified) shall be installed as shown in the plans. Construction: ------------- Construction of excavated and earthfill areas shall be performed to the neat lines and grades as planned. Deviations from this will require prior approval of the SCS. Earthfill shall be placed in max. of 6" lifts and not placed in standing water. Compaction shall be performed by the construction equipment or sheeps-foot roller during placement. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials. Construction of fill heights shall include ten (10) percent for settlement. To protect against seepage, when areas of unsuitable material are encountered; they will to be excavated a minimum of one (1) foot below grade and backfilled and compacted with a SCS approved material (ie-CL,SC,CH). Refer to the soil investigation information in the plans for special considerations. Precautions should be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. Vegetation: All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construction according to seeding specifications sheet. c SEEDING RECOMMENDATIONS ----------------------- AREA TO BE SEEDED: 1.0 ACRES USE THE SEED MIXTURE INDICATED: 60 LBS.

The attkched map has been delineated to show the area(s) in question. Each area to be cleared has been identified with a symbol to denote its classification. Below is art explanation of the various iynbols that may pertain to your map. W - Wetland - Area is a wetland and should not be cleared for any reason if you . wish to remain eligible for USDA programs; receive. SCS technical assistance, or avoid violating US Army Corp of Engineers' and Division'of Environmental Management (DEM) regulations. Any exceptions to this s'tat Ent should be in writing from the Soil Conservation Service prior to clearing land. X NW- Non wetland -Area is non wetland and can be cleared and utilized without violating Farm Bill. ;i; NW- Non wetland - Area has hydric soils but for Farm Bill purposes only, area is non wetland due to hydrology modification prior to 12/23/85. You still need to check with the US Army Corp of Engineers or the NC DEM to determine if additional permits are necessary prior to clearing. CW Converted Wetland after 11/28/90 Area was cleared after 11/28/90 and is a converted wetland. Clearing constitutes a violation of the 1990 Farm Bill. In order to regain eligibility for USDA programs, area must be restored. Consult with the SCS about an approved restoration plan before beginning any restoration. If you need to clear the delineated wetlands for roads, buildings, hog lagoons or similar activities, you can request a converted wetland for non agricultural use (CWNA) exemption. If granted, this exemption would be for Farm Bill purposes only; therefore, you would still need to contact the Army Corp of Engineers and the Division of Environmental Management. To request a CWNA exemption, you should complete a request form at the SCS office. It will take approximately 40 days to get this exemption approved once you give this office the request. Do not start any clearing of wetland prior to receiving written notification from this office that your CWNA request has been approved. Also you should not start clearing until you have received approval from the Army Corp and DEM. All three permits must be received and approved prior to clearing any wetlands. I have tried to make this determination as fairly as possible. However if you believe this determination is incorrect, you have the right to appeal. To appeal send me a brief letter explaining why you believe this determination is incorrect. Send the letter to the address on the letterhead. This letter should be received within 15 days of your receipt of this letter. The Soll conaeivation Service Is sin agency of the lJDepanment of Agricullwe Sincerely, ahkael E.

In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers. Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRRI, IRR2, DRYI, DRY2, DRY3, SLURI, SLUR2, SLDI, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an appropriate enforcement action. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting requirement.

The waste utilization plan limits the application rate for coastal bermuda on field un2 at 2251bs of nitrogen per acre; however, approximately 32rate of nitrogen per acre have been applied. USDA -MRCS guidelines require that waste be applied at agronomic rates that do not exceed the nitrogen requirements for the Realistic Yield Expectation of the crop. Because of the excessive nitrogen loading, no further waste application may occur on the small grain °verseed in field 11112 for the year. In addition, as was discussed at the time of the inspection, the erosion areas c the inner and outer dike walls of the lagoon should be filled with a suitable clay material, compacted and reseeded with an aPPrePfiate vegetative cover.

Wilmington, NC 28405 Dear Mr. Wrenn, RECEIVED NOV 111997 BY: This letter is to address the 10/30/97 annual inspection that was conducted for Kenneth Bostic he had one facility (IN 31-182). Farm 31-182 had several deficiencies and one violation: I. Over application of waste for coastal bermuda field un2. (NOV) 2. Erosion problems on inner/outer dike walls of the lagoon. (NOD) 3. Low area in field 5 not adequate for waste application. (NOD) 4. Large brush pile should be removed in field un2. (NOD) 5. Irrigation line should be double -piped in area crossing ditch. (NOD) 6. Individual IRR-2 forms should be kept for each spray field. (NOD) 7. Certification form should be on site with CWW. (NOD) W. Bostic will repair inner/outer dike walls with suitable clay material and establish appropriate vegetative cover weather permitting. Mr. Bostic realizes that 401 wetland area is inappropriate for waste application at the present time. Mr. Bostic does plan to make area acceptable for waste application when financial/weather condition permits; however, does not need this area to fulfill agronomic requirements at the present time. Mr. Bostic currently has a berm around area from prior DWQ correspondence and has been avoiding application to the area due to it being unacceptable at the present time. Mr. Bostic will establish a berm around the hydrant located in this area weather permitting. Mr. Bostic will remove brush pile in field un2 weather permitting. Mr. Bostic will double -pipe irrigation crossing weather permitting. Agriment Services will develop separate IRR-2 forms for each field separated by 401 area. A copy of the certification form has been placed in Mr. Bostic's notebook. NOTICE OF VIOLATION EXPLANATION I changed ERR-2 form to the yield of 300 pounds per/acre for coastal bermuda on un2. I felt the yield should be comparable to the yield for the soil type on the adjacent fields, which is McC or Marvyn. Since the field was cleared and ready for application I created the IRR-2 form so Mr. Bostic could begin monitoring and reporting requirements for this field. Mr. Bostic was relying on Duplin Soil and Water to measure this field and create a new WUP to include this field. I was not aware until I saw the NOV for over -application that in the new plan, Duplin Soil & Water classified this field LUA or Lumbee soil type, which has a yield of 225 pounds per/acre for coastal bermuda. I am not a Soil Scientist, but I feel this soil type was made in error. Therefore, I have contacted Robert Freese, a Soil Scientist with Duplin Soil and Water, to make an official determination of the soil type in field un2. If the soil is comparable to the adjoining soils the WUP can be changed to show the higher realistic yield. Over -application would be 20 pounds rather than 75 pounds with the Lumbee soil. As a good faith effort Mr. Bostic has agreed to seed the small grain on field un2 and not apply this area to accommodate any residual Nitrogen. If the soil is indeed changed, Mr. Bostic may want to apply the 30 remaining pounds of Nitrogen deficit that would remain on this field, less the 20 lbs. that would be residual, but only if DWQ allows it. I hope this infonnation will address the Notice of DeficienciesfViolation that were noted, If you have any questions please feel free to call. With Kind Regards, /o�nnie G.

The plant iutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of :ommercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where waste .s to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the imiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application :ycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant !utrients 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 nsure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always pply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient tent of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can —line. Soil types are important as they have different infilitration ates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available ater holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land roding at greater than 5 tons per acre*per year. With special pre- tions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per cre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is aining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions ay result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM egulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift nd downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients or crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the aste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground of more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or isking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. fte estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on ypical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage require - ants should be based on the waste analysis eport from your waste anagement facility. Attached you will find information on proper ampling terchniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to ze lab for analysis. zis waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements Jr compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental anagement Commission.

Actual total acres in the fields listed will be more than the acres shown in t tables. NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 568.32 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION T' irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of tii= soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application am-unt should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the s 1 at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be within 1.7 feet of the top of the dike. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to applying the.waste. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 5 NARRATIVE OF OPERATION: WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 6 Plans and Specifications Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, directapplication, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to assessment of civil penalties of'$10,00o per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either has owns or has long term access to adequate land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers). Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the NRCS Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application. _ (WASTE UTIL'II,2ATION: PLAN" PAGE 7 8.

This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre- cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to inject the waste in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating waste are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage require- ments should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis.

Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a crop on bare soil. 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See standard 393 - Filter Strips) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 1.4. 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 -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "techinal specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge into water courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the application causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. 18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and and shall be fenced, as necessary to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be;<_ kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. 19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills..1.1, - A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN NAME OF FARM: BOSTIC FARM OWNER / MANAGER AGREEMENT Page 8 I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specifications and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above. I (we) know that an expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and storage system or construction of new facilities will require a new certification to be submitted to the Division of Environmental Management (DEM) before the new animals are stocked. I (we) alsounderstand that there be no discharge of animal waste from this system to surface waters of the state from a storm event less severe than the 25 year, 24 hour storm. The approved plan will be filed on -site at the farm office and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District and will be available for review by DEM upon request. I (we) understand that I must own or have access to equipment, primarily irrigation equipment, to land apply the animal waste described in this waste utilization plan. This equipment must be available at the appropriate pumping time such that no discharge occurs from the lagoon in a 25-year 1-day storm event. I also certify that the waste will be applied on the land according to this plan at the appropriate times and at rate that no runoff occurs. NAME OF FACILIITTY OWNER: KENNET OSTIC SIGNATURE.

Box 831 Beulaville, N.C. 28518 • Subject: Kenneth Bostic NC HWY 111 Facility Number 31-182 Duplin County Dear W. Bostic: On October 27, 1995, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Environmental 1.1amgcnient inspected your animal operation and the lagoon serving this operation. It was observed that although approximately two feet of freeboard existed in the lagoon, that inadequate land is available for spray irrigation of waste. The field containing the reel and gun is only approximately two acres in size and did not contain a winter cover crop. This office responded to a compliant in which local residents were concerned over odor and the fact that spray was entering onto their property. Further investigation revealed that the fields behind the lagoons were cleared for irrigation purposes, however the cleared area appears to be wetlands, and in fact were ponded with rainwater at the time of the investigation. It is recommended that you contact a technical specialist, or local NRCS office personnel to assist you in determining spray irrigation area required for the farm. To remain a deemed permitted facility, corrective actions must begin within seven (7) days. Failure to do so may result in the facility losing the deemed permitted status, requiring a, certified waste management plan and certification form for the facility to be submitted prior to the December 31, 1997 deadline, and being required to obtain an individual non discharge permit for the facility. • r Mr. Kenneth Bostic November 1, 1995 Page 2 • • 0 Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes to discharge wastewater to the surface waters of the State without a permit. The Division of Environmental Management has the authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $10,000 per day per violation. When the required corrective actions are complete, please notify this office in writing at the address below.

Box 831 Beulaville NC 28518 Dear Mr. Bostic: This is to inform you that your completed registration form required by the recently modified nondischarge rule has been received by the Division of Environmental Management (DEM), Water Quality Section. On December 10, 1992 the Environmental Management Commission adopted a water quality rule which governs animal waste management systems. The goal of the rule is for animal operations to be managed such that animal waste is not discharged to surface waters of the state. The rule allows animal waste systems to be "deemed permitted" if certain minimum criteria are met (15A NCAC 2H .0217). By submitting this registration you have met one of the criteria for being deemed permitted We would like to remind you that existing feedlots which meet the size thresholds listed in the rule, and any new or expanded feedlots constructed between February 1, 1993 and December 31, 1993 must submit a signed certification form (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. P.O. Box 29535.

Box 831 Beulaville NC 28518 April 22, 1994 Your animal waste utilization plan has been specifically developed for your 3552 INEAN TO FEEDER SWINE operation. The plan is based on the sci'_ types, crops to be grown, and method of application for your particular operation. The waste must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce .the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste_ utilization elan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Wash should be analyzed before_ each application and annual soil tests are encouracec so that all olant nutrients and lime can be balanced for realistic yield of the crops 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 environ- mentally safe mariner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. The amount of available nitrogen for plant use is dependant on the method of application. Soil type is important due to different leaching potential and yield potential. waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils or on land when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters. Wind cbnditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop orcduction and reduce the potential for pollution, waste should be applied to a growing crop or not more than 30 days prior to planting. Soil incorporation of the waste will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The acres needed to apply the animal waste are based on typical nutrient content f r this type of fac_lit_v. Annual acreage recuirements mav_ be more or less dec_end_ne on the specific waste analysis report for your faci__ty at the time of _rrigation. Your waste utilization plan is based on the following: TABLE A.

If more commercial fertilizer is used than is shown in Table D, then additional acres of land will be needed. A 10 - 25 feet wide permanent grass filter strip should be seeded along all ditches in fields that receive animal waste. The acres shown in Table B are the usable acres in the field shown. Usable acres are the acres that must be able to receive animal waste. Buffer areas along ditches, houses, property lines, etc. have been subtracted from the total field acreages to arrive at the usable acres. The total acres shown on the attached map is needed for land application in order to have the proper buffer areas. A combination of land application equipment or irrigation equipment may be needed in order to properly land apply waste to all parts of the fields listed. It is the responsibility of the producer to acquire whatever equipment is needed to properly land apply the waste. ADDITIONAL Prepared by: Title �C S Concurred in by:�Date Producer U. S.

Clay content, thickness and .compaction of liners (if required) are very important. If the certifying technical specialist is unable to approve the liner with normal field techniques, an independent engineering analysis will be required (see CONSTRUCTION SPECIFICATIONS for additional information). If independent engineering analysis is required, this expense will be the responsibility of the owner/grower. Special attention needs to be given to the seeding specifications. The lagoon dike must be seeded according to specifications before the system can be certified and stocked with animals.

This design has been prepared in accordance with USDA Soil Conservation standards and properly installed will allow certification and stocking of animals. The following items should be discussed PRIOR to entering into a contract: 1. This design is in compliance with state and federal laws. Any changes in design may result in non-compliance and failure to be eligible for certification. No animals can be stocked until the lagoon construction is approved and certified to the Division of Environmental Management (DEM). 2. This design has taken into account data including soils, topography, wetlands, streams, dwellings, wind direction, and owners concerns. 3. The volume shown represents excavation and fill in the lagoon and pad area. It does NOT account for cut/fill for liners, roads, borrow areas, drainage or other related construction activities unless specifically covered in the design. 4. Typically, the excavation volume represents the bulk of earthwork and is used for price negotiations. All earth work beyond this amount will be worked out between the owner and contractor, CARROLUS DOES NOT NEGOTIATE PRICES FOR GROWERS. 5. It is the desire of Carroll's Foods that the contractor receives a fair price for earth work and the land owner receives a properly constructed lagoon and pad that will meet design requirements. 6. DO NOT' MAKE ANY CHANGES TO THE DESIGN OR FARM LAYOUT UNLESS THE ORIGINAL DESIGNER IS CONSULTED AND APPROVES. CARROLUS FOODS ASSUMES NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DEVIATION FROM ORIGINAL DESIGN OR CHANGES MADE ON THE SITE BY CONTRACTOR OR ANYONE OTHER THAN CARROLUS PERSONNEL. " P.O.

F J � y t tie Y 4 } The facility design and waste management plan attached is of the utmost importance to you and to Carroll's. This plan must be approved by a technical specialist with USDA Soil Conservation Service prior to construction start. The lagoon must be constructed exactly as designed unless changes are approved by the original designer and SCS personnel. The approved plan needs to become a part of your permanent records and must be readily available for review if and when your farm is inspected by state regulatory personnel. When earthwork and lagoon construction is complete and the top of the dike and outside slopes of the lagoon has been graded, seeded, and fertilized it must pass a final inspection by SCS personnel in order for your farm to be certified ready to stock animals. At the time of final construction approval the grower and the person certifying construction must sign a document called Certification for New or Expanded Animal Feedlots (a blank of this form is enclosed in your package) and this form must be sent " to the Department of Environmental Health and Natural Resources in Raleigh. Copies of the signed document should be kept in your permanent file, one copy goes to SCS for their file, and a copy must be presented to Carroll's Foods before any animals can be placed on your farm. The owner is responsible for the Certification being completed and sent to the appropriate places. Remember, No Certification -- No Animals.

Preston Howard, Jr.' P.E., INSTRUCTIONS FOR CERTIFICATION OF APPROVED ANIMAL WASTE MANAGEMENT' PLANS FOR NEW OR EXPANDED ANIMAL WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS SERVING FEEDLOTS In order to be deemed permitted by the Division -of. -Environmental Management (DEM), the owner of any. new or expanded ariislal waste management system constructed after January 1, 1994 which is designed to serve greater than or equal to the animal populations listed below is required to submit a signed certification form to DEM before the new animals are stocked on the farm. Pasture operations are exempt from the requirement to be certified. 100 head of cattle 75 horse. 250 swine 1,000 sheep 30,000 birds with a liquid waste' system The certification must be signed by the owner of the feedlot (and manager if different from the owner) and by any technical specialist designated by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission pursuant to 15A NCAC 6F .0001-.0005. A technical specialist must verify by an on -site inspection that all applicable design and construction standards and specifications are met as installed and that all applicable operation and maintenance standards and specifications can be met. Although the actual number of animals at the facility may vary from time to time, the design capacity of the waste handling system should be used to determine if a farm is subject to the certification requirement. For example, if the waste system for a feedlot is designed to handle 300 hogs but the average population will be 200 hogs, then the waste management system requires a certification. This certification is required by regulations governing animal waste management systems adopted by the Environmental Management Commission (EMC) on December 10, 1992 (Title 15A NCAC 2H .0217). L•1`+.�i On the reverse side of this page is the certification fore which must be submitted to DEM before new animals are stocked on the farm. Assistance in completing the form can be obtained from one of the local agricultural agencies such as the soil and water conservation district, the USDA -Soil Conservation Service; or the N.C.

Bclow is an explanation of the various zyribols that mayperain to your map. W - Wetland - Area is a wetland and`sliouI3`not be cleared for any reason if you . wish to remain eligible for USDA programs, receive SCS technical assistance, or avoid' violating US Army Corp of Engineers' and Division±'of Environmental Management (DEM) regulations. Any exceptions to this statement should be in writing from the Soil Conservation Service prior to clearing land. z' NW- Non wetland -Area is non wetland"and.can be cleared and utilized without violating Farm Bill. 8 NW- Hon wetland - Area has hydric soils but for Farm Bill purposes only, area is non wetland due to hydrology modification prioi`to 12/23/85. You still need to check - with the US Army Corp of .Engineers or the NC;DEM to determine if additional permits are necessary prior to cleaiwg. CW Converted Wetland after 11/28/90 - Area was cleared after 11/28/90 and is a converted wetland. Clearing constitutes a violation of the 1990 Farm Bill. In order to regain eligibility for USDA programts, area must be restored. Consult with the SCS about an approved restoration plan before beginning any restoration. If you need.to clear the delineated wetlands for roads, buildings, hog lagoons or similar activities, you can request a converted wetland for non agricultural use (CWNA) exemption. If granted, this exemption would be for Farm Bill purposes only; therefore, you would still need to contact the Army Corp of Engineers and the Division of Environmental Management. To request a CWNA exemption, you should complete a request form at the SCS office. It will take approximately 40 days to get this exemption approved once you give this office the request. Do not start any clearing of wetland prior to receiving written notification from this office that your CWNA request has been approved. Also you should not start clearing until you have received approval from the Army Corp and DEM. All three permits must be received and approved prior to clearing any wetlands. I have tried to make this determination as fairly as possible. However if you believe this determination is. incorrect, you have the right to appeal. To appeal send me a brief letter explaining why you believe this determination is incorrect. Send the letter to the address on the letterhead.

The'timCre"quired for the `.pla`40ed fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) .to be reached miy,yary.- due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for: (1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also included is storage for the 25 year - 24,hour storm for the location. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available. A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from building(s). If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth. Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without runoff or leaching. Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. care should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out: 1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre - charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete, flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after initial filling. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste.(see attachment) before land application. 3. Begin temporary storage pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches the elevation 44.4 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump - out when the fluid level reaches elevation 42.6 . This temporary storage, less 25 yr- 24 hr storm, contains 22491 cubic feet or 168229 gallons. a _ 1 • e t vYi� " in5 t i Pill,' m. s SHEET 2 toF s y 4.

Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ- mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law. z SPECIFICATIONS..FOR CONSTRUCTION------------------ C FOUNDATION PREPARATION: The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall:be cleared of trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush, boulders,sod and rubbish. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoil from the lagoon and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on the dike and pad areas. After stripping, -,the foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall -be thoroughly loosened prior to placing the first lift of fill material to get a good bond. EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT: The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines, grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen soil, stones over 6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent they are suitable, excavated materials can be used as fill. The fill shall be brought up in approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9 inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading equipment or standard tamping roller or other equivalent method. Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectible. NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials from the required excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height and with an impoundment capacity of 10 acre-feet or more fall under the jurisdiction of the NC Dam Safety Law. The height is defined as the difference in elevation from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike. Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.6 ft. NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERIAL IS ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE SOILS REPORT. When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be over - excavated below finish grade to the specified depth as measured perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall be backfilled as specified to grade with a SCS approved material (ie - CL,SC,CH). REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN THE PLANS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS. jai f.

Water shall be added -to borrow as necessary to insure proper °moiisture content during placement of the liner.' The moisture content of the liner:" material shall not be less than optimum water content during placement. The maximum water content relates to the soil material being too -wet for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Proper compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum ASTM D698 Dry Unit Weight of the liner material. When smooth,or hard, the previous lift shall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement of the next lift. The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted perme- ability of a clay liner, other than the type of clay used for the liner, is the efficient construction processing of the compacted liner. The sequence of equipment use and the routing of equipment in an estab- lished pattern helps assure uniformity in the whole placement and compaction process. For most clay soils, a tamping or sheepsfoot roller is the preferable type of compaction equipment. The soil liner shall be protected from the discharge of waste outlet pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator(rocks) or using flexible outlets on waste pipes. Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant. When these are specified, additional construction specifications are included with this Construction Specification. CUTOFF TRENCH: -------------- A cutoff trench shall be constructed shown on a typical cross section in cutoff trench shall be determined by materials. VEGETATION: under the embankment area when the plans. The final depth of the observation of the foundation All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construc- tion according to the seeding specifications. Topsoil should be placed on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch shall be used if the recommended permanent vegetation is out of season dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should be established as soon as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates. REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS When tile drains are encountered, the tile will be removed to a minimum of 10 feet beyond the outside toe of slope of the dike. The tile trench shall be backfilled and compacted with good material such as SC, CL, or CH. AREA TO BE SEEDED: 1.0 ACRES USE THE SEED MIXTURE INDICATED AS FOLLOWS: 0.0 LBS.
