Olive, NC 28365 Subject: Notice of Violation & Recommendation for Enforcement Paradise Farms Facility Number: 31-216 Duplin County Dear Mr. Simpson: This is to notify Mr. Sean Simpson, who holds Certificate of Coverage AWS310216 under Swine Waste General Permit AWG100000 issued pursuant to North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1, of violations of the General Permit. On April 17, 2002, Mr. Chester Cobb from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality performed a routine compliance inspection of your animal operation and the animal waste management system serving this operation. The following violations were noted during the referenced inspection: , 1. Over Application of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) Based on the recorded irrigation records for waste applications to bermuda in 2001, it was noted that waste application to bermuda exceeded the 275 lb PAN rate listed in the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) for the farm. Upon review of submitted irrigation records for 2001. waste applications totaling approximately 327 lb PAN/acre for Pull 41 and 445 1b PAN/acre for Pull 42 were found. This means that an excess of 52 1b PAN/acre for Pull 41 and 170 lb PAN/ac for Pull 42 was applied in 2001 to bermuda. Applications of waste in excess of the specific crop PAN rate listed in the CAWMP is a violation Condition No. 11. 4. of your General Permit that states "land application rates shall be in accordance with the CAWMP. In no case shall land application rates exceed the Plant Available Nitrogen rate for the receiving crop or result in runoff during any given application." ' Application rates specified in your CAWMP fo0ow Natural Resource Conservation Service (MRCS) guidelines and are based on receiving crop (bermuda), method of havest (hay), and the dominant soil type (Autryville). The PAN rate listed in the CAWMP accounts for crop removal of nitrogen during the entire growing season. Therefore, the removal of one cutting of hay does not allow the operator to start over again at the beginning PAN rate. Appropriate actions are required to prevent waste applications in excess of the PAN rate specified in the CAWMP. Based on recent high PAN analyses (1.9 to 3.6 lb /1000 gal) and the PAN limit for bermuda sprayfield, considerations should be given to acquiring more land for sprayfield and waste sampling procedures.

Mr. Sean Simpson July 17, 2002 Page 2 2. Cover Crop Needs Improvement During the inspection, it was observed that the majority of the bermuda sprayfield had been disked. Very little evidence of any existing bermuda was noted. This is a violation of Condition No. U. 2. of the General Permit that states "a vegetative cover shall be maintained on all land application fields and buffers in accordance with the CAWMP." Also, the soil test report for 2001 recorded a pH of 3.7 for the sprayfield and the need for time to be added. The optimum pH range for forage crops such as bermuda is from 6.0 to 6.5. Lime had not been added prior to the inspection. This is a violation of Condition No. It. 3. of the General Permit that states "lime must be applied, as needed, to maintain soil pH in the optimum range for crop production." From these observations and previous inspections, it appears that the sprayfield has not been properly maintained. Proper management of bermuda as a forage crop involves maintaining optimum soil pH, cutting for hay approximately every 6 weeks for average fields, and weed control when needed. Proper crop management is needed for utilization of nutrients from land applications of waste. Appropriate actions are required to reestablish the sprayfield in bermuda. In response to these violations, a detailed Plan of Action must be submitted to the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality. This Plan of Action must fist the following: (1) The individual violations. (2) A description of the actions proposed to be taken to return each violation to compliance. .(3) A list showing the dates of when these actions will be accomplished. The proposed written Plan of Action must be received by this office within fifteen (15) working days of the receipt of this notice. Upon approval and implementation of the plan, you must notify this office when the corrective actions are complete. Be advised that this office is considering recommending assessment of civil penalties to the Director of the Division of Water Quality for the above noted violations. These violations may result in civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation in accordance.with North Carolina General Statute 143- 215.6A(a)(2). You may also be assessed for reasonable costs of the investigation in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.3(a)(9). If you have an explanation for these violations that you wish to present, please submit your written response along with the Plan of Action. Your response will be forwarded to the Director along with the enforcement package for his consideration. Also, be advised that the Division of Water Quality may take further action in these matters including injunctive relief. and permit revocation.

The Notice was written due to compliance issues noted on the November 15, 2005 operation review conducted by Mr. Martin McLawhorn. The following issues were noted in the Notice of Referral by Mr. McLawhorn: • Failure to secure a sludge management plan for lagoon #1 from a designated technical specialist prior to land application. • Failure to secure sludge waste analysis from lagoon #1. • Failure to complete SLUR forms. Based on the November 15, 2005 operation review, the violations are as follow: 1. No Sludge Management Plan During the operation review, it was discovered that between 11/04/05 to 11/07/05 sludge was removed from Lagoon #1. No certified waste management plan was found for the sludge removal documenting where the sludge was to be applied, nutrient loading (PAN rate), hydraulic loading, and setback distances. It was also noted in the inspection report that the producer was not sure of the exact field locations where the sludge was applied on the Rouse Ivey Farm. This is in violation of Condition No. II. 12 of the General Permit that states in part "At the time of sludge removal from a lagoon/storage pond, the sludge must be managed in accordance with the CAWMP-" North Carolina Division of Water Quality 127 Cardinal Drive Extension Phone (910) 796-7215 Customer Service Wilmington Regional Office Wilmington, NC 28405 FAX (910) 350-2004 1-877-623-6748 An Equal OpportunitylAflirmalive Action Employer - 50 % Recycled110 % Post Consumer Paper N"o� yn Carolina �vWUra//y Mr. Sirfipson + Page 2 of 3 January 31, 2006 2. No Sludge Analysis Prior to Application Mr. McLawhorn noted on the operation review that no sludge sample had been sent to the lab for analysis prior to 11/10/05. The sludge had been applied by 11/07/05. Without an analysis, you cannot determine if the sludge is being applied at agronomic rates. This is in violation of Condition No. II. 4 of the General Permit that states in part "Land application rates shall be in accordance with the CAWMP. In no case shall land application rates exceed the agronomic rate of the nutrient of concern for the receiving crop." 3. Failure to Complete SLUR-2 Form Mr. McLawhorn also noted that the SLUR-2 form had not been completed. The SLUR-2 form allows one to calculate how much of a nutrient such as plant available nitrogen (PAN) that has been applied. This is in violation of Condition No. III. 6 of the General Permit that states in part "The Permittee shall record all irrigation and land application event(s) including hydraulic loading rates, nutrient loading rates and cropping information." 4. Failure to Submit to the Division Regional Office a Sludge Removal Plan From the operation review, it was documented that sludge was removed from Lagoon #1. Your Perrmit requires that the appropriate Division Regional Office be notified of a sludge problem by submitting a sludge removal or management plan. This Office has not received such a plan. This is in violation of Condition No. III. 19 of the General Permit that states in part "if the sludge accumulation is such that it is greater than the volume for which the lagoon was designed or the accumulation reduces the lagoon's minimum treatment volume to less than the volume for that which the lagoon was designed, a sludge removal or management plan must be submitted to the appropriate Divisional Regional Office within ninety (90) days of the determination. The plan shall describe removal and waste utilization procedures to be used." In response to these violations, this office must receive the following information within fifteen (15) working days of the receipt of this notice: a. A written explanation of the violations and a description of the actions to be taken to prevent the recurrence of these violations. b. A copy of any and all documents pertaining to the sludge removal from Lagoon #1. These documents should include but are not limited to the sludge waste plan, waste analysis, soil analysis, field maps, and sludge application records. Mr. Simpson Page 3 of 3 January 31, 2006 You may wish to contact your County Soil & Water Conservation District Office, County Extension office, a qualified technical specialist, and/or a professional engineer for any assistance they may be able to provide. Be advised that this Office is considering recommending assessment of civil penalties to the Director of the Division of Water Quality for the above noted violations. Failure to respond may result in more violations. These violations may result in civil penalties of up to $25,000 per violation in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143- 215.6A(a)(2). You may also be assessed for reasonable costs of the investigation in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.3(a)(9).

These are my responses to said letter: a. My explanation of the violations is inexcusable. The violations were not intentional. Hopefully in the future violations will not occur. I will implement better practices to prevent violations. b. Enclosed will be documents of the sludge waste plan, waste analysis, field maps, and sludge application records. I am still in process of gathering all the soil analysis documents from adjacent land owners. The sludge management plan was with the contractor at the time of the inspection. He was in another state at the time of the inspection. I did not have time to contact him before he left. We felt that with the numerous fields that he needed to keep the plan on his person to make sure that he applied correctly. We knew where sludge had been applied and how much each application period. My calculations are using a 6300 gallon tank, but I am sure that the tank was not 100% full each time it was loaded. I hope that this letter and explanation will help you in your review.

Olive, NC 28365 TELEPHONE: (919) 273 1862 TYPE OPERATION: wean -feeder NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 6400 (Design Capacity) The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

If nutrients from other sources such as commercial fertilizer are applied, they must be accounted for. N must be based on realistic yield expectation. NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K maybe over applied while meeting the N requirements. Beginning in 1996 the Coastal Zone Management Act will require farmers in some eastern counties of North Caroline to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses Nitrogen.

THIS TABLE IS NOT NEEDED IF WASTE IS NOT BEING APPLIED BY IRRIGATION, HOWEVER A SIMILAR TABLE WILL BE NEEDED FOR DRY LITTER OR SLURRY. Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. Narrative of operation: are as 1. 100' from water supply well 2. 200' from residence 191 4. 50' from property line not owned by the producer or lessor. All sludae should be disked in or otherwise incorporated within 48 hours. Producer must complete SLD2 forms after applications documenting volumes applied. A waste sample should be taken when lagoon is fully agitated to determine actual sludge nutrient concentrations. If wheat land is nra7ed instead_ producer should use a 75 lb. N rate rather than the wheat rate. Page 4 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 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. 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). 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. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. Page 5 VTU QMWTILIZAiTIONRLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10 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 discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16 Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. Page 6 M 52 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced as necessary to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. 18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19 Waste handling structures, piping pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications 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 soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metal 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.

On April 17, 2002, Chester Cobb performed a routine inspection of my facility. I was in violation of a couple of items. Over application of PAN and Cover Crop needs improvement. I did not violate the over application of PAN on purpose. I did not know any different, but now I do. A couple of years ago Dean Hunkley performed an inspection and said that I could keep track of how much hay I cropped off of my spray field. I thought he said that I could add this back to my PAN if I needed to since I was running close to my deficit. I am not trying to put words in anybody's mouth but thought that is what Dean told me. During the last inspection Chester told me that was not true. Now I know better, but I cannot not undo what is already done. Also I had been inspected by Soil and Water and they did not catch the over application. I just assumed everything was still ok with my records. Again I apologize. I had an above average season of fresh water in my lagoon and did not have much of a choice on applying. My Plan of Action consists of better record keeping and trying to establish a better cover crop on the part of my spray field that is not up to standards. have an addition spray field that I am going to implement into my plan. This field is 1 mile from my farm and will have to honey wagoned from facility to field. Also I am working a deal with adjacent landowners to use some of their fields if I would so need them. I also have taken measures to insure that I limit the amount of fresh water going into the lagoon on my side (mother nature might have different plans). I have contacted a contractor to re -sprig my coastal field. My soil tests reported that needed 3.7 ton/acre of lime to be applied. Chester and I talked about this while he was there and I also called at the same time and scheduled lime to be applied the next day. Chester said to apply it at 1.5 ton/acre at back-to-back years so I would not waste the excess lime from runoff. am sorry that this letter or Plan Of Action is late. Again, I did not know that I was I violation and I hope and feel sure it will not happen again. If I can be of any assistance or answer any questions please do not hesitate to call.

Olive, NC 28365 Subject: Notice of Violation & Recommendation for Enforcement Paradise Farms Facility Number: 31-216 Duplin County Dear Mr. Simpson: This is to notify Mr. Sean Simpson, who holds Certificate of Coverage AWS310216 under Swine Waste General Permit AWG100000 issued pursuant to North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1, of violations of the General Permit. On April 17, 2002, Mr. Chester Cobb. from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality performed a routine compliance inspection of your animal operation and the animal waste management system serving this operation. The following violations were noted during the referenced inspection: Over Application of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) Based on the recorded irrigation records for waste applications to bermuda in 2001, it was noted that waste application to bermuda exceeded the 275 lb PAN rate listed in the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) for the farm. Upon review of submitted irrigation records for 2001, waste applications totaling approximately 327 lb PAN/acre for Pull 41 and 445 lb PAN/acre for Pull 42 were found. This means that an excess of 52 lb PAN/acre for Pull 41 and 170 lb PAN/ac for Pull #t2 was applied in 2001 to bermuda. Applications of waste in excess of the specific crop PAN rate listed in the CAWMP is a violation Condition No. II. 4. of your General Permit that states "land application rates shall be in accordance with the CAWMP. In no case shall land application rates -exceed the Plant Available Nitrogen rate for the receiving crop or result in runoff during any given applichtion." Application rates specified in your CAWMP follow Natural Resource Conservation Service (MRCS) guidelines and are based on receiving crop (bermuda), method of havest (hay), and the dominant soil type (Autryville). The PAN rate listed in the CAWMP accounts for crop removal of nitrogen during the entire growing season. Therefore, the removal of one cutting of hay does not allow the operator to start over again at the beginning PAN rate. Appropriate actions are required to prevent waste applications in excess of the PAN rate specified in the CAWMP. Based on recent high PAN analyses (1.9 to 3.6 lb /1000 gal) and the PAN limit for bermuda sprayfield, considerations should be given to acquiring more land for sprayfield and waste sampling procedures. r•aj� N.

Cover Crop Needs Improvement During the inspection, it was observed that the majority of the bermuda sprayfield had been disked. Very little evidence of any existing bermuda was noted. This is a violation of Condition No. Il. 2. of the General Permit that states "a vegetative cover shall be maintained on all land application fields and buffers in accordance with the CAWMP." Also, the soil test report for 2001 recorded a pH of 3.7 for the sprayfield and the need for lime to be added. The optimum pH range for forage crops such as bermuda is from 6.0 to 6.5. Lime had not been added prior to the inspection. This is a violation of Condition No. 11, 3. of the General Permit that states "lime must be applied, as needed, to maintain soil pH in the optimum range for crop production." From these observations and previous inspections, it appears that the sprayfield has not been properly maintained. Proper management of bermuda as a forage crop involves maintaining optimum soil pH, cutting for hay approximately every 6 weeks for average fields, and weed control when needed. Proper crop management is needed for utilization of nutrients from land applications of waste. Appropriate actions are required to reestablish the sprayfield in bermuda. In response to these violations, a detailed Plan of Action must be submitted to the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality. This Plan of Action must list the following: (1) The individual violations. (2) A description of the actions proposed to be taken to return each violation to compliance (3) A list showing the dates of when these actions will. be accomplished. The proposed written Plan of Action must be received by this office within fifteen (15) working days of the receipt of this notice. Upon approval and implementation of the plan, you must notify this office when the corrective actions are complete. Be advised that this office is considering recommending assessment of civil penalties to the Director of the Division of Water Quality for the above noted violations. These violations may result in civil penalties of up to $10,000 per violation in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143- 215.6A(a)(2). You may also be assessed for reasonable costs of the investigation in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.3(a)(9). If you have an explanation for these violations that you wish to present, please submit your written response along with the Plan of Action. Your response will be forwarded to the Director along with the enforcement package for his consideration. Also, be advised that the Division of Water Quality may take further action in these matters including injunctive relief, and permit revocation.

The time required for the planned fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for: (1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also included is storage for the 25 year - 24 hour storm for the location. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available. A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from 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 u reaches the elevation 47.7 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pumpr out when the fluid level reaches elevation 45.7 . This temporary storage, less 25 yr- 24 hr storm, contains 38363 cubic feet or 286952 gallons. 4 ./I i SHEET 2 OF 2 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 inch per hour. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details. 5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. 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. S. 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.

Enclosed is your lagoon design prepared by (9-o klt �b r-, 4aa YorMs and reviewed and approved by the Soil Conservation Service. This lagoon, as asigned, meets SCS standards and specifications. It is the responsibility of the contractor and you to build the lagoon according to the design. You should contact the swine company to get assistance in the layout of the lagoon for construction. If you have any questions during construction, please contact this office or the swine company. Please be aware that SCS has not checked the excavation and fill volumes of dirt. The swine company has computed these figures and any questions regarding the amount of excavation should be directed to the company. SCS does not certify that excavation and fill volumes are correct. If you would like for the SCS to certify that the lagoon has been built to design specifications and meets SCS specifications and standards, pefsonnel from this office will need to conduct a final construction check prior to animal waste being put in the lagoon. State law requires that new and expanded operations have lagoons that meet the SCS ininiinutn design specifications. In order to certify the lagoon, we must get bottom elevations as well as top of dike and sideslope readings. If given a few days notice, we will try to schedule the construction check prior to the contractor leaving the site; however, since we schedule several days in advance, ii is best if you let us know as soon as possible when you believe that a construction check will be needed. Also enclosed is a contractor certification that must be signed by the contractor once the lagoon is completed. We need this form returned to us before we certify that the lagoon meets our specifications. You may want to inform your contractor prior to beginning the job that you will need him to certify his work meets the design requirements.

E. 674c yj F� DATE: q3 DATE: 1611,TI%3 NOTE: SEE ATTACHED WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN COMMENTS: SCS DOTS NOT CERTIFY THAT EXCAVATION AND FILL VOLUMES ARE CORRECT 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. I 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.

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 46.8 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches elevation 44.7 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 38434 cubic feet or 287487 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 (3") 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 need 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.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient contents 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 avaialable 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 requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for ananlysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

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 suface application.

Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nurturient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 486.4 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge. See the attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 5.92 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be within 1.6 feet of the top of the dike. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsiblity 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.

A D-1 and pertinent information is provided. The 100-lb overseed option has been utilized with the following conditions: (1) no animal waste may be applied to the bermuda after August 31, (2) an application of 50 Ibs/acre of PAN may be applied to the small grain between September 15 - October 30 with the remaining 50 Ibs/acre to be applied in February - March, and (3) the small grain must be removed by April 7. Page 6 of 9 and from any perennial stream or river (other that 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) PLANS & SPECIFICATIONS 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Water Quality for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to 'Buffers" required by DEM. (See FOTG Stantard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when 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" in the NRCS Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.) '7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application. 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. 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a crop on bare soil. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina Department of Agriculture regulations. .

The 100-lb overseed option has been utilized with the following conditions: (1) no animal waste may be applied to the bermuda after August 31, (2) an application of 50 Ibs/acre of PAN may be applied to the small grain between September 15 - October 30 with the remaining 50 Ibs/acre to be applied in February - March, and (3) the small grain must be removed by April 7. Page 5 of 9 !4" 11 m PLANS & SPECIFICATIONS 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Water Quality for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field. Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. (See FOTG Stantard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers). 5..Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when 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" in the NRCS Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.) •7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application. 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. 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a crop on bare soil. 11. 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 Droperty boundary Page 6 of 9 and from any perennial stream or river (other that 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 landownwer. 14. Waste shall be.applied in a manner riot to reach other property and public fight.- 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 croplands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist'. Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly 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. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where - considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. *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 as a preemergence with no other 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 fpr 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 amd maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) year`. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. Page 7 of 9 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina Department of Agriculture regulations. • Liquid Systems Page 8 of 9 NAME OF FARM: Paradise Farms OWNER i MANAGER AGREEMENT I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specifications and the operation and maintenance precedures estalished in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above.

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking, overflowing, or running off the site. You should NOT wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to ensure that this does not happen. This. plan should be available to all employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and breaks could happen at any time. Your plan should follow this format: Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested responses to problems are listed below: a. Lagoon overflow —possible solutions are: add soil to berm to temporarily increase elevation of dam —any permanent alteration of the dam should be approved by a qualified technical specialist pump wastes to field at an acceptable rate stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waterers) —hold waste in house if possible call a pumping contractor make sure no surface water is entering lagoon NOTE: These activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the temporary storage level. b. Runoff from waste application field —actions include: immediately stop waste application create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field incorporate waste to reduce further runoff C. Leakage from the waste distribution system: pipes and sprinklers —actions include: — stop recycle (flushing system) pump — stop irrigation pump — close valves to eliminate further discharge — separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow flush system, houses, solids separators —actions include: — stop recycle (flushing system) pump — stop irrigation pump — make sure no siphon effect has been created separate pipes to create. an air gap and stop flow d. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often these are seepage as opposed to flowing leaks —possible action*:t dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back into lagoon if holes are caused by burrowing animals,trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil *Lagoon problems require the consultation of an individual experienced in the design and installation of lagoons for permanent repair measures. . 2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages. a. Did the waste reach any surface waters? b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration? C. Any damage notes, such as employee injury,fish kills, or property damage? 3. Contact appropriate agencies. a. During normal business hours, call your DEM regional office, at 910-395-3900, after hours, emergency number: 919-733-3942. Your phone call should include: your name, facility, telephone number, the details of incident from item 2 above, the exact location of the facility, and the location or direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind conditions, what corrective measures have been under taken, and the seriousness of the situation. b. If spill. leaves, or is likely to leave, property or enters surface waters, call local emergency management services (EMS) at 910-296- 2160. C. Instruct EMS to contact local Health Department. d. Contact local Soil and Water Conservation District Natural Resources Conservation Service office at 910-296-2121, and Cooperative Extension Service at 910-296-2143for advicettechnical assistance. e. If you are a contract swine grower associated with a swine company integrator, contact the company representative. _. 4. Implement procedures as advised by DEM and technical assistance agencies to rectify the damage, repair the system, and reassess the waste management plan to keep problems with release of wastes from happening again.

On September 6, 2000 1 inspected your animal operation and the animal waste management system serving this operation. During the inspection it was observed that old hay should be removed from your Bermuda field and weed problems should be managed. For all crops, especially grassed pastures or hay fields, soil pH must be maintained for the proper health of the crop and uptake of nutrients from application. Lime must be applied according to the rate indicated on your annual soil analysis when the amount is equal to or greater than 1.0 ton/acre. In no instance, should more than 2.0 tonstacre be applied during any year. It takes approximately 4-6 months for lime to work throughout the root zone; thus lime should be applied in late summer or early fall for it to be available to the summer crop next year. Grassed fields must be harvested to avoid disease, control weed growth, and remove applied nutrients. Bermuda fields should be cut for hay at a height of 16-20 inches and soil pH maintained at 6-6.5. 127 North Cardinal Dr., Wil nington, North Carolina 28405 Telephone 9103963900 FAX 910360-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled110% post consumer paper Mr. Simpson December 12, 2000 Page 2 To correct the deficiency, please submit a detailed Plan of Action to the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality that describes the actions, to be taken to address this deficiency of Animal Waste Permit AWS310216.

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, DRY I, 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.

Wednesday, October 20, 1999 Producer: Sean Simpson Farm Name Telephone # : Type of Operation: Number of Animals Application Method: Paradise Farms 137 Ngo Lane Mt. Olive,NC 28365 (919) 658-4452 Wean to Feeder Swine 6400 pigs design capacity Irrigation The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient contents 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 avaialable 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 requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for ananlysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

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 suface application.

Acres show in each of the preceeding 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. NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nurturient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce appruximately 486.4 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge. See the attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 5.92 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be within 1.6 feet of the top of the dike. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsiblity 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.

A D-1 and pertinent information is provided. The 100-lb overseed option has been utilized with the following conditions: (1) no animal waste may be applied to the bermuda after August 31, (2) an application of 50 Ibs/acre of PAN may be applied to the small grain between September 15 - October 30 with the remaining 50 Ibs/acre to be applied in February - March, and (3) the small grain must be removed by April 7. Page 5 of 9 PLANS & SPECIFICATIONS 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Water Quality for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. (See FOTG Stantard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when 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" in the NRCS Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.) '7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application. 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. 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a crop on bare soil. 11. 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 anv residential orooertv boundary Page 6 of 9 and from any perennial stream or river (other that 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 landownwer. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right - of ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted croplands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist'. Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly 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. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. *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 as a preemergence with no other 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 fpr 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 amd maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five (5) 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. Page 7 of 9 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina Department of Agriculture regulations. .

Olive, NC 28365 NCDENR NORTH CARouNA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION Paradise Farms Facility Number: 31-216 Duplin County Dear Mr. Simpson: You are hereby notified that Paradise Farms, which has been permitted to have a nondischarge permit for an animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0217, has been found to be in violation of its 2H .0217 Permit. On September 24, 1998, Mr. Dean Hunkele from the Wilmington Office of the Division of Water Quality inspected your animal operation and the lagoon serving this operation. During the inspection, it was observed that irrigation records were not being kept correctly. You were instructed to revise the records and submit them to this office. Upon reviewing your revised irrigation records received on October 13, 1998, it was determined that nitrogen has been applied to your small grain crop in excess of the limits established by your certified animal waste management plan. Your revised records indicated that approximately 164 lbs/acre in excess of the 50 lbs/ac allowed had been applied to spray runs A through E covering a total of 5 acres. This is a violation of your certified waste management plan. As was discussed during the inspection, nitrogen balances should always be kept by each pull or aggregate of pulls using acreage for spray. pulls to which waste was actually applied, not the entire field. Care should be taken with future record keeping to ensure that this problem does not occur again. 127 North Cardinal Dr., Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer Telephone 910-395-3900 FAX 910-350-2004 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Sean Simpson November 12, 1998 Page 2 The Division of Water Quality may proceed to revoke Paradise Farm's permit unless the following conditions are met: • Immediately eliminate the discharge of wastewater and/or list actions to correct the noted violations. To remain a deemed permitted facility, all corrective actions must be made within seven (7) days. Failure to do so may result in the facility losing its deemed permitted status and being required to obtain an individual nondischarge permit. Please be advised that this assessment does not prevent the Division of Water Quality from taking enforcement actions for this violation or any past or future violations. When the required corrective actions are complete, please notify this office in writing. If you have any questions concerningthis matter, please contact Dean Hunkele or Dave.

Olive NC 28365 Dear Mr. Simpson: 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 sietted 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.
