PCs Page 1 of 1 The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake. This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

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

This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake. This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation. Animal operations that generate liquid waste and utilize waste storage facilities (lagoons or holding ponds) may apply more or less waste in any given year than is annually generated by the facility. In order to determine whether the plan adequately utilizes the waste produced by the facility, the storage capacity table included in this plan should be reviewed to ensure that the design capacity of the storage facility is not exceeded during the planning period. Depending on the requirements of the crop and the nutrient content of the waste, some nutrients will likely be over or under applied if animal waste is being utilized. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are required if animal waste is being applied. Soil tests should be used to balance the nutrient application amounts with the realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Nutrient management plans may require that the application of animal waste be limited so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field.

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

Available storage capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero. Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design storage capacity of the facility. If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure. This indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design told that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied toconservation 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 ---- - --------- -- - - ------------------ --- - ----- ----------------- ---- - ----------- -- 256139 Database Version 1.05 Date Punted: 12-14-2000 SpeciScation Page I method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. 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 canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters. 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 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 croplandprovided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied ar agronomic rates in a manner that causes not runoff or drift from site. ---------3 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2MI. 9 Database Version 1.05 Date Printed: 12-14-2000 Spxification Page 2 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management System. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored 'and alternative crop sites shall be used when these ---- - -- ---------- - ---- - -.--------------- -- --u-- ---- -- -------------- - k- --page- ---- 2561;9 Database Version 1.0� Date Printed: 12-14-2000 Sp; cification Page 3 metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for a minimum of five years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. 256139 Database Version 1.05 Date Printed: 12-14-2000 Specification Page 4 Crop Notes The following crop note applies to field(s): PS 1, PS2 Bermudagrass CP, Mineral Soil, Poorly Drained to Somewhat Poorly Drained. Adaptation: Effective artificial drainage MUST be in place to achieve Realistic Yield Expectations provided for these soils. In the Coastal Plater, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. I to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs 1" to 3" deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced ]'to 1.5' in row. For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus, potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 Ib/ac N in the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240 lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts. Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or extension agent for assistance. The following crop note applies to field(s): PS la, PS2a Cereal/Annual Rye Overseeded — Grazed CEREAL RYE The cereal rye should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth. The most consistent, stands are obtained from drilling rye into short (less than 3 inches tall) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An application of 50 Ibs/acre of Plant Available N (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30. An additional 50 lbs.acre of PANfmay be applied in February -March. If rye growth is harvested on time and does not significantly shade the bermuda, PAN rates for the subsequent bermuda crop are based on realistic yields of bermuda. A harvest is required prior to heading or April 7, which ever comes first. This is necessary to minimize the potential for shading bermuda and reducing its yields. The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded with cereal rye must be reduced by 25%.

If additional PAN ------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------- 256tas Database Version L0 Date Printed: 12-14-2000 Crop Note Page I is applied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the bermuda must be reduced by a corresponding 511-1 amount. This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will reduce bermuda yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is required by ]reading or April 7, which ever - comes first to prevent shading of emerging bermuda during April -May period. To favor the production of the bermuda, additional harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height. The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded with annual ryegrass must be reduced by 25%.

ANNUAL RYEGRASS Annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short (less than 3 inches tall) Date Prin-t--: —12-- --2000 ----------CropNo-te--P-aga -.--zscrs9 a-Vrsion -- ----- - bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An application of 50 Ibs/acre of PAN may be applied between September 15 and October 30. An additional 501bs. acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If additional PAN is applied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the bermuda must be reduced by a corresponding amount. This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will reduce bermuda yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is required by heading or April 7, which ever comes first to prevent shading of emerging bermuda during April -May period. To favor the production of the bermuda, additional harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height. The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded with annual ryegrass must be reduced by 25%. ��>1 ---------------------------------- 256139 Database Version 1.0 Date Printed: 12-14-2000 Crop Note Page 3 Michael F.

With your results, Jonathan Miller with Agriment Services, Inc. requested an extension in the frequency of the sludge survey for Lagoon HS2 at the Pete Smith Farm facility. Due to the amount of treatment volume available and in anticipation of this facility receiving renewal under the State COC, the Division agrees that a sludge survey is not needed until 2008. The results of the 2008 sludge survey are to be submitted with the Annual Certification Form that will be due on March 1, 2009. If your facility does not receive renewal of its Animal Waste Management System COC under the State permit and must, or chooses, to renew under the NPDES permit, then a sludge survey will be required in 2007 and must be reported on or before March 1, 2008. This would be necessary in order to meet the requirement for a sludge survey in the year of permit renewal. Please note that we have received your application for renewal under the State COC and this condition is just in the event your application is withdrawn or denied. Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions, please contact me at duane.leith@ncmail.net or by phone at (919) 715-6186. (Sincerely; /% y./A" ).

This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications to maxilriz nutrient uptake. This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation. Animal operations that generate liquid waste and utilize waste storage facilities (lagoons or holding ponds) may apply more or less waste in any given year than is annually generated by the facility. In order to determine whether the plan adequately utilizes the waste produced by the facility, the storage capacity table included in this plan should be reviewed to ensure that the design capacity of the storage facility is not exceeded during the planning period. Depending on the requirements of the crop and the nutrient content of the waste, some nutrients will likely be over or under applied if animal waste is being utilized. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are required if animal waste is being applied. Soil tests should be used to balance the nutrient application amounts with the realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Nutrient management plans may require that the application of animal waste be limited so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field. 111-*e rr.a:-....7..., Tnill- VPar 1 Tract Field Source I.D.

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

Available storage capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero. Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design storage capacity of the facility. If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure.

Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design fold that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste. production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance). 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 -- ----------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- -- ---------------- 2')6139 Database Version 1.05 Date Printed: 12-14-2000 Specification Page 1 method which does not cause drift from the site during application.

Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. 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 canal.

A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21.

This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will reduce bermuda yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is required by heading or April 7, which ever comes first to prevent shading of emerging bermuda during April -May period. To favor the production of the bermuda, additional harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height. The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded with annual ryegrass must be reduced by 25%. The following crop note applies to field(s): PS3 Bennudagrass: CP, Mineral Soil, Moderately Well Drained. Adaptation: Well -adapted. In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bennudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. 1 to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs I" to 3" deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced I'to 1.5' in row. For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus, potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 Ib/ac N in the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240 Ib/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts. Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or extension agent for assistance. The following crop note applies to field(s): PS3a Cereal/Annual Rye Overseeded — Grazed CEREAL RYE The cereal rye should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling rye into short (less than 3 inches tall) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds maybe broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An application of 50 Ibs/acre of Plant Available N (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30. An additional 50 lbs.acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If rye growth is harvested on time and does not significantly shade the bermuda, PAN rates for the subsequent bermuda crop are based on realistic yields of bermuda. A harvest'is required prior to heading or April 7, which ever comes first. This is necessary to minimize the potential for shading bermuda and reducing its yields. The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded with cereal rye must be reduced by 25%.

Only the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your plan. An evaluation by Dean Hunkele on 2/10/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X". Category 1: ❑ The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please contact your Technical Specialist to assist in .providing Dean Hunkele the necessary information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre determination. Please submit this information to Dean Hunkele, at 127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, NC 28405-3845, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any questions please contact Dean Hunkele at (910) 395-3900. If within 90 days you are .unable to provide Dean Hunkele with the information you are automatically required to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2 below, within 180 days of receipt of. this letter. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolim27699.1617 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 Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this designation, or a Professional Engineer. All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWQ within the next 180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation, and/or injunctive relief. Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting requirement.

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. IRR1, 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 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.) 2880 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 5472 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 2880 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 6624 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. i The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

APPLIC METH N TIME END Indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. interplanted) or winter annuals follow summer annuals. 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 1065.6 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 5328 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 17.76 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 42.624 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: 6 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. Tract Field Soil Type Crop Application Rate (in/hr) Applic.

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 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: 7 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Page: 8 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 potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. Page: 9 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: 10 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.

(Written approvalof the State Veterinarian must be attached) Emergency Action Plan This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from you operations 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 very effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be available to all employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and breaks can happen at any time. 1) Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested responses to problems are listed below: a) Lagoon overflow: • add soil to the berm to increase the elevation of the dam • pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate • stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waterers) • call a pumping contractor • make sure no surface water is entering the lagoon Note: These activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the temporary storage level. b) Runoff from waste application field: • immediately stop waste application • create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field • incorporate waste to reduce further runoff c) Leaking from the waste distribution system: • pipes and sprinklers: O stop recycle (flushing system) pump ® stop irrigation pump p close valves to eliminate further discharge ® separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow Page 1 0 flush system, houses, solids separators: O stop recycle (flushing system) pump ® stop irrigation pump M 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 the lagoon. Often these are seepage as opposed to flowing leaks: • dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back into the lagoon • if holes are caused by buff owing 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. Note: For permanent repair measures, lagoon problems require the consultation of an individual experienced in their design and installation. 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 noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage? 3) Contact appropriate agencies. a) During normal business hours, call your DWQ regional office: 910-395-3900; after hours, emergency number: 800-858-0368 or 919-733-3942. Your phone call should include: your name, facility, telephone number,.ihe details of the incident, 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 taken, and the seriousness of the situation. b) Your integrator: Goldsboro Hog Farms Division, Maxwell Foods, Inc. 919-778-3130 extension 1430 c) If the spill leaves the property or enters surface waters, call the local EMS: 910-296-2160 .

Earthfill shall not be placed in standing -water and reasonable compaction of the fills 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 suitable material (ie-CL,SC,CH). Refer to the soils 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. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Owners name --:Harold Smith County:Duplin Mail Address—: 0 Type of production unit ---- :Topping Type of waste facility ----- :Anaerobic Lagoon Your animal waste management facility has been designed for a given storage capacity. When the waste reaches the designed level, it must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or ground water. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to 'reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops on 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 and annual soil tests are 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. AlwWys 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 and leaching 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 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 not more than ss days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage reouirements may be more or less based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. The design of your waste management facility is based on the following: Amount of Waste Produced Per Year: 20SO animals x 1.9 tons waste/animal/yr= 5472 tons total waste Amount of plant Available Nitrogen Produced Per Year: ----------------------------------------------------- 2880 animals x 2.30 lbs. N/animal/year = 6624 lbs./yr Available N 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. Your facility is designed for 180 days of storage. Therefore, it will need to be pumped every 6 months. Tract Field Soil Crop Yield Lbs. N Acres Lbs. N Month to No. No. Type Code per Ac.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN -----------------------------= This lagoon is designed for waste treatment with minimum odor control. The time required for the planned fluid level to be reached may vary due to soil conditions,flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. 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 runoff from the field or 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. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see Attachment B) before land application. 3. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva- tion 44.8 as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches elevation 42.8 or before fluid depth is less than'6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable bacteria) . 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.4 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. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States.

These suggestions are a result of discussions within the NC State University Forage Production Workgroup, a group comprised of NC State faculty and NRCS agency personnel with expertise with the crops. There are limited documented research responses of some of these practices on the many soils and environments where these crops are currently being grown. The Forage Production Workgroup has taken the available data and used the combined experiences and realistic estimates of key people to come up with suggestions that will allow farmers to incorporate these crops and practices into waste management plans. As data become available to substantiate or refute these suggestions, the Forage Production Workgroup will make appropriate changes. Bermuda Overseeded With Cereal Rye and Annual Ryegmss Currently two types of "ryegrass" are being used for winter ovetseeding in fields used for animal waste management. Cereal is a winter annual smallgrain that looks similar to wheat, barley and oats. Annual ryeg m is a winter annual grass that looks touch like tall fescue. Both of these grasses, when growing during the winter on bermuda sod, can have significant impact on subsequent bermuda yields. In effect, the total yields from an acre growing the combination of bermuda with these winter annuals will usually yield between 1-2 tons more per acre than bernizida growing alone for the year. Therefore, the total amount of PAN /acre for the year is about 100 fibs more than for bermuda alone. Although cereal rye and annual ryegrass are suitable crops for overseeding, the management of the crops are different and thus practices implemented are dependent on the crop selected.

Campus Box 7620 Rddpft, NC 2769S-7620 9191152647 919115.7959 (tax) Cereal Rye The cereal rye should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling rye into short (less than 3 inches tall) bermudagrass sod If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An application of 50 lbs/acre of Plant Available N (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30. An additional 50 lbs/acre of PAN may be applied in February-Marcb. If rye growth is harvested on time and does not significantly shade the bermuda, PAN rates for the subsequent bermuda crop are based on realistic yields of bernnmda. A harvest is required prior to heading or April 7, which ever cogs first. This is necessary to minimize the potential for shading Bermuda and reducing its yields. The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded with cereal rye trust be reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard #590. Annual Ryegrass Annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short (less than 3 inches tall) bermudagtass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short Bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An application of 50 Ibs/acre of (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30. An additional 50 Ibs/acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If additional PAN is applied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the bermuda must be reduced by a corresponding amount. This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will reduce bermuda yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is required by heading or April 7, which ever comes first to prevent shading of emerging bermuda during April -May period. To favor the production of the bermuda, additional harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height. The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded with annual ryegrass must be reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard #590. State of North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality James B. Hunt, Jr., Governor Wayne McDevitt, Secretary A. Preston Howard, Jr., P.E., Director Harold Smith The Pete Smith Farm 67 NC HE Pink Hill NC 28572 Dear Harold Smith: 1, • NCDENR NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES September 9, 1998 RtEC E" E➢9 SEP 1 5 1998 Subject: Application No. 31-0251 Additional Information Request The Pete Smith Farm Animal Waste Operation Duplin County The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject application. Additional information is required before we can continue our review. Please address the following components by October 9, 1998: 1) There is a discrepancy in the com/wheat/soybean rotation. Table 1 of the WUP states that Corn will be irrigated from March to June followed by Wheat from February to March. This results in an 8-month period of no irrigation from the time the corn is harvested to when the wheat is planted. The discrepancy is that the lagoon is only capable of temporarily storing 6 months (180 days) of waste. I recommend that the wheat application time be revised to October to March so that the temporary storage is reduced to 4 months. 2) Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) states that the Realistic Yield Expectations (RYE) for Small Grain overseed is 1.5 and 1.2 tons/acre. Referring to the RYE manual issued by the NCSU Cooperative Extension Service, the yield for Small Grain overseed in the any soil series should be 1 ton/ac. Note that actual yields that are higher than the RYE's listed by the NCSU Coop Extension may be used for facilities that can document such yields with records that show the average yield for three out of five years meets or exceeds the actual yields used in the WUP. If this is not the case, please make the appropriate changes to the WUP to reflect the correct RYE. All revisions / amendments are required to be signed and dated by both the landowner and the Technical Specialist before they are submitted for review. Please reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. All information should be signed, sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below. The information requested by this letter must be submitted on or before October 9, 1998 or the Division will return your application as incomplete in accordance with 15A N.C.A.C. 2H .0200 and your facility will be considered to be operating without a permit. Please be advised that operation of the subject animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and will subject you to the enforcement authority of the Environmental Management Commission.

I (we) know that any 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 before the new animals are stocked. I (we) also understand that there must be no discharge of animal waste from this system to surface waters of the state either directly through a man-made conveyance or through runoff from a storm event less severe that the 25-year, 24-hour storm. The approved plan will be filed at the farm and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District.

DEM USE ONLY: ACEN EOD(7(D� _�5I-251 CONDITIONS AND/OR EXCEPTIONS TO CERTIFICATION All statements checked apply to this certification: The installed irrigation system has not been evaluated concerning nozzle size, spray pattern, spacing, pump size, pipe size, etc. It is the responsibility of the producer to operate the system with the proper components and to supply the required maintenance to assure that no runoff occurs. The producer is encouraged to have an irrigation specialist, possibly the dealer where the system was purchased, prepare an operation and maintenance plan for the irrigation system so that the producer knows how to operate the equipment to meet the non -discharge requirements. The waste management plan for this operation is based upon yields higher than what is now recommended by NRCS; however, these yields are obtainable under high levels of management. This increase in projected yields is necessary since the NRCS plan prepared for this operation at the time of construction was based upon these higher yields and the producer followed MRCS guidelines when building this operation. Because of limited acres for land application, and because the original MRCS waste utilization plan did not require additional acres for buffers and irrigation inefficiency, it may be necessary for the producer to operate half sprinklers, on solid set systems, along field edges and ditches. Also for traveling irrigation systems, a pull directly adjacent to the ditch with only a 180 degree pumping radius may be needed to irrigate the entire field. Extreme caution should be exercised when applying waste close to ditches and wetlands to avoid any discharge. CERTIFICATION FOR EXISTING FEEDLOTS INSTRUCTIONS FOR CERTIFICATION OF APPROVED ANIMAL WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANS FOR EXISTING ANIMAL WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS SERVING FEEDLOTS REQUIREMENTS/PURPOSE In order to be deemed permitted by the Division of Environmental Management (DEM), the owner of any existing animal waste management system constructed and operational before 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 January 1, 1998. Pasture operations are exempt from the requirement to be certified. 100 head of cattle 75 horses 250 swine 1,000 sheep 30,000 birds with a liquid waste systern 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. The technical specialist must verify that all applicable operation and maintenance standards and specifications can be met. Existing systems are not required to meet design and construction standards and specifications. Although the actual number of animals on 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 wastemanagement systems adopted by the Environmental Management Commission (EMC) on December 10, 1992 (Title 15A NCAC 2H .02L7)., CERTIFICATION FORM On the reverse side of this page is the certification form which must be submitted to DEM before January 1, 1998. 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..

This letter is in response to the visit that we made to the Kitty Noecker Farm. A letter, dated October 11, 1995, was sent to you via certified mail. Neither the receipt notification nor your reply was received at this Office. Therefore, the letter is being sent to you again. You may remember that I had a concern about the condition of the newly constructed lagoon. The lagoon's 3 to 1 internal slope was interrupted in a localized section on the southeastern end. This area had a shear wall cut into the 3:1 slope and the surficial aquifer was dripping through into the lagoon in it's uncharged state. As I mentioned, I do not have installation approval authority for swine lagoons, but I do realize that the lagoon does .not meet USDA design guidelines in it's current condition. I have talked to Mr. George Pettus with Goldsboro Hog Farms and he indicated that the NRCS-Duplin County is to certify the facility. Mr. -Pettus also indicated that he was not aware of the lagoon's condition until Mr. Mitchell informed him. I recommend that you contact the NRCS-Duplin County or a technical specialist designated by the Soil & Water Conservation Commission to receive instructions on the proper installation of swine lagoons. The lagoon requires additional work to meet approved design guidelines. The shear wall will not seal and the interrupted • internal slope should be corrected. 127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, N.C. 28405-3845 • Telephone 910-395-3900 • Fax 910-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirrtutive Action Employer Mr. Harold Smith December 11, 1995 Page Two It is requested that you provide this office with written correspondence that addresses corrective actions taken within 10 days of the receipt of this letter.

You received a copy of this letter and one is being provided along with this memo. The Wilmington Office has not received information from Mr. Smith concerning corrective actions that were deemed necessary. Without this information, DEM must assume that the lagoon has not been repaired and does not meet NRCS guidelines. The writer considers that since the Wilmington Office has no record of Mr. Smith's reply, he may not follow DEM advice. Prior to sending a letter to our compliance group relative to objections for certification, I request that DSW follow up with NRCS or the project's technical specialist to determine if proper lagoon construction (the repair) has been performed and if the lagoon has been certified with exceptions or with information concerning the repair of the construction anomaly. If the lagoon is presently in a charged condition such that visual inspection to verify compliance will be difficult, and the certification does not specifically address the needed repair, this farm will be suspect for design compliance. If you would care to have a meeting on site to address the lagoon nonconformance, or if you have questions concerning this topic, please contact me at (910) 395-3900. I thank you in advance for your support.

Preston Howard, Jr., P.E., Director November 12, 1993 Harold Smith Rt. 2 Box 12 B Pink Hill NC 28572 Dear Mr. Smith, 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 to DEM by December 31. 1997. \ew 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.
