The deficiency of failing to maintain the waste level in the WS Matthews Farm
(Lagoon #1(Big Lagoon)); (referenced in the NoD as the William Edward Brock
Lagoon, this is not the correct farm) was due to a 9 inch rain event that was not
anticipated, due to it being a slow moving Low not a hurricane or nor'easter.
Corrective Action
Corrective action for this event has resulted in evaluating our current procedures.
This process determined that guy slow moving storm not just hurricanes or
nor'easters should be closely watched and the necessary steps need to be taken to
ensure lagoon levels are maintained.
Sincerely,
David Mattthews

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
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
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 Irrigation Application Factors for each field in this plan are shown in the following table. Infiltration rate varies
with soils. If applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system, you must apply at a rate that will not result in
runoff. This table provides the maximum application rate per hour that may be applied to each field selected to
receive wastewater. It also lists the maximum application amount that each field may receive 'many one application
event.

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for
sludge utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen
concentrations for each source, the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application
rates shown in the second column.
Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At
clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production 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 notpossible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with
high amounts ofcopperand 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.

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage
capacity available at the end of each month of the plan. 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 the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage
capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated.
If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design
storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval
in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

Crop Notes
The following crop note applies to field(s): 1B
Corn 1: CP, Mineral Soil, low -leachable
In the Coastal Plain, corn is normally planted when soil temperatures reach 52 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit.
Review the Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high
yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Plant 1-2" deep. Plant
populations should be determined by the hybrid being planted. Increase the seeding rate by 10% when
planting no -till. Phosphorus and potassium recommended by a soil test can be broadcast or banded at
planting. When planting early in cool, wet soil, banded phosphorus will be more available to the young
plants. An accepted practice is to apply 20-301bs/acre N and 20-30 lbs/acre phosphorus banded as a
starter and one-half the remaining N behind the planter. The rest of the N should be applied about 30-40
days after emergence. The total amount of N is dependent on soil type. When including a starter in the
fertilizer program, the recommended potassium and any additional phosphorus is normally broadcast at
planting. Plant samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status
of the corn. Timely management of weeds and insects are essential for corn production.
The following crop note applies to field(s): 2/3
Corn 1: CP, Mineral Soil, low -leachable
In the Coastal Plain, corn is normally planted when soil temperatures reach 52 to 55 degrees fahrenheit.
Review the Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high
yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Plant 1-2 deep. Plant
populations should be determined by the hybrid being planted. Increase the seeding rate by 109/6 when
planting no -till. Phosphorus and potassium recommended by a soil test can be broadcast or banded at
planting. When planting early in cool, wet soil, banded phosphorus will be more available to the young
plants. An accepted practice is to apply 20-30 lbs/acre N and 20-301bs/acre phosphorus banded as a
starter and one-half the remaining N behind the planter. The rest of the N should be applied about 3040
days after emergence. The total amount of N is dependent on soil type. When including a starter in the
fertilizer program, the recommended potassium and any additional phosphorus is normally broadcast at
planting. Plant samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status
of the corn. Timely management of weeds and insects are essential for corn production.

provided for these soils.
In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. 1 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 1' 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 lb/ac N in
the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240
lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts.
Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization
of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
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 that reaches surface
water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer
either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to
properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to
properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an
agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity,
allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the
responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an
update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the
operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application,
receiving crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs
for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical
data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are
regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre
per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per
acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter
strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field
Office Technical Guide Standard 393 -Fitter 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).
674952 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 2/15/2007 Svecification Page 1

7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration
rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a
method which does not cause drift.from the site during application. No
ponding should occur -in order to control odor and flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall
events, or when the soil surface is frozen.
9.. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner
that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit
growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be
considered.
10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring
planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. 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
brealdng 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.
674952 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 2/15/2007 Specification Page 2

15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways,
or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be
applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been
approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal
waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly
into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be
applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift
from the site.
16. -.Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets,
sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management
system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all
disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas
shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as
trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc,, are limited to areas where
considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and
accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for
evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the
owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan"
which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and
erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected
on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular
maintenance checklist should be kept on site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other
crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on
crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant
with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom
elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste
treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level
between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum
storage volume for -waste storage ponds.
674952 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 2/15/2007 Specification Paae 3

22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested
at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen
shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require
waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower
application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the
soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when
these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and
maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis
records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste
application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years.
Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five
(5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for
_ sludge utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen
concentrations for each source, the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application
rates shown in the second column.
Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At
clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production 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 carefWly applied.
Sites trust 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, cage 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.

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
other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and I iquid waste that will be applied on each field
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 ensute that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage
capacity available at the end of each month of the plan. 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 greaterthan or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design
storage capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage
capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated.
If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design
storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval
in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to W S Matthews Farms Inc, authorizing the operation of the
subject animal waste management system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
and land application of animal waste as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management
Plan (CAWMP) for the W S Matthews Farms #2, located in Duplin County, with an animal capacity of
no greater than the following swine annual averages:
Wean to Finish: 0 Feeder to Finish: 4896 Boar/Stud: 0
Wean to Feeder: 5200 Farrow to Wean: 0 Gilts. 0
Farrow to Finish: 0 Farrow to Feeder: 0
If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows.
Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows
may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009 and replaces the NPDES
COC issued to this facility with an expiration date of July 1, 2007. You are required to continue
conducting annual surveys of sludge accumulation in all lagoons at your facility; the one-year extension
in Condition Ill.19 does not apply.
Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the
conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An
adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information
must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design
capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a
modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either
wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is
a package containing the new and revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pav
careful attention to the record keeping and monitoring conditions in this permit.

If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site -specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws,.rules,, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.

Duplin County
Dear Edwin Blanchard:
`�ECT!-, %itiai
SEP 0 9 NNo
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received your sludge survey information on April 8, 2005.
. Upon review of the information submitted, it was determined that the minimum treatment depth of the
Nursery 2 lagoon is inadequate. Your NPDES General Permit Number NCA231328, Condition W.16
specifies that within 90 days, a plan of action must be created to document the sludge management
procedures to be used. DWQ has not received an adequate plan of action for this facility.
Attached is the Plan of Action for Lagoon Sludge Reduction form that is to be used. The form
outlines the compliance and reporting timeframes to satisfy Condition IV.16 of your NPDES General
Permit.
Please submit the plan of action within 30 days of receipt of this letter to:

Re: Request for Information
Sludge Survey Report
Possum Branch
NCA231328
Duplin County
Dear Edwin J. Blanchard:
Your Animal Waste Management General NPDES Permit contains a condition
that addresses the sludge survey requirement for the lagoon(s) at your animal
feeding operation.
Your NPDES Permit Number NCA231328 Condition Ill. 16, on page 10 states:
"All facilities, which are issued a COC to operate under this permit, shall conduct
a survey of the sludge accumulation in all lagoons within one (1) year of receiving
the COC and every year thereafter. This survey shall include but not be limited to
a sketch showing the depth of sludge in the various locations within each lagoon.
This survey shall be submitted as part of the facility's annual report in the year it
was conducted..."
Our records indicate that the Division has not received the sludge survey results
for the year 2005 from your facility and your facility had not previously exempted
based on prior surveys. The form was due March 1, 2006. To avoid possible
enforcement action for a violation of your permit, please submit the results within
thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter to the following address:

Warsaw, NC 28398
Subject: Notice of Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement
Possum Branch
Facility Number: 31-328
Duplin County
Dear Mr. Blanchard:
This is to notify you of violations of Swine Waste Management System General NPDES Permit.
On April 12, 2003, a citizen flyover revealed violations at your facility. On April 14, 2003, Division staff
performed an investigation of your facility. During this investigation, staff observed excessive ponding of
animal waste in the application field, and staff also observed that animal waste runoff from an application
field of your facility had discharged into a field ditch and a roadway ditch along Interstate 40 both of
which drain to surface waters. The excessive ponding and runoff of animal waste is a violation of
Condition IL 4. of the 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. In
no case shall land application rates result in excessive ponding or any runoff during any given application
event." The discharges of animal waste into the field ditch and the roadway ditch are violations of
Condition 1. 1. of the Permit that states in part "Any discharge or application of waste to a ditch that
drains to surface waters or wetlands is prohibited..."
During the April 14, 2003 inspection, you told staff that the lagoon liquid level had been such that there
was twelve to thirteen inches of freeboard prior to the application event that occurred on April 12, 2003.
This is a violation of Condition V. 3. of the Permit that states in part "At a minimum, maximum waste
level for lagoons/storage ponds must not exceed the level that provides adequate storage to contain the
25-year, 24-hour storm event plus an additional one (1) foot of structural freeboard..."
Also, the Regional office was not notified by telephone within 24 hours following first knowledge of the
lagoon storage violation referenced above. This is a violation of Condition III. 11. of the Permit that
states in part "The Permittee shall report by telephone to the appropriate Division Regional Office as soon
as possible, but in no case more than twenty-four (24) hours following first knowledge of the occurrence
of the failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage pond greater than or equal to that required
in Condition V. 3. of this Permit."

2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for such
request:
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the reasonableness of the amount
of the penalty and is not the proper procedure for contesting the accuracy of any of the statements
contained in the assessment letter. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an
administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver (form attached) of your
right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation that there are no factual or legal issues in dispute.
You must execute and return to this office the attached waiver and stipulation form and a detailed
statement which you believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-282.1(b) were wrongfully
applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial
actions.

} FINDINGS AND DECISION
FOR VIOLATIONS OF SWINE WASTE ) AND ASSESSMENT OF
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM GENERAL } CIVIL PENALTIES
NPDES PERMIT NCA200000 )
Acting pursuant to delegation provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources and the Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, Jeffrey O. Poupart,
Supervisor of the Non -Discharge Compliance and Enforcement Unit of the Water Quality Section
of the Division of Water Quality, mare the following:
I. FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. Edwin Blanchard owns and operates the Possum Branch, a swine animal operation
along State Road 1106 in Duplin County.
B. Edwin Blanchard was issued Certificate of Coverage NCA231328 under Swine
Waste Management System General NPDES Permit NCA200000 issued pursuant to
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 on April 9, 2003, effective on April 9,
2003, with an expiration date of July 1, 2007 for the operation of a swine waste
collection, treatment, storage and application system.
C. Condition Il. 4. of the General NPDES Permit 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. In no case shall land
application rates result in excessive ponding or any runoff during any given
application event."
D. Condition L 1. of the General NPDES Permit states in part "Any discharge or
application of waste to a ditch that drains to surface waters or wetlands is
prohibited..."
E. Condition V. 3. of the General NPDES Permit states in part "At a minimum,
maximum waste level for lagoons/storage ponds must not exceed the Ievel that
provides adequate storage to contain the 25-year, 24-hour storm event plus an
additional one (1) foot of structural freeboard..."
F. Condition M. I I.. of the General NPDES Permit states in part "The Permittee shall
report by telephone to the appropriate Division Regional Office as soon as possible,
but in no case more than twenty-four (24) hours following first knowledge of the
occurrence of the failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storaae pond

greater than or equal to that required in Condition V. 3. of this Permit-
­
G. On April 12, 2003, Rick Dove photographed animal waste application with animal
waste ponding and possible discharge at the Possum Branch. On April 14, 2003, in
response to Mr. Dove's complaint, DWQ staff performed an investigation at the
Possum Branch. During the investigation, staff observed animal waste ponding and
observed that animal waste runoff from an application field of the Possum Branch
had discharged into a field ditch and a roadway ditch along Interstate 40. Also,
during the investigation, it was discovered that Mr. Blanchard's lagoon liquid level
had recently been such that there was approximately 12 to 13 inches of freeboard
prior to the application event on April 12, 2003. Mr. Blanchard had not reported the
lagoon liquid level violation to the Regional Office.
H. Edwin Blanchard had no valid permit for the above -described activities.
I. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $470.17.
Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following:
11. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
A. Edwin Blanchard is a "person" within the meaning of G.S. 143-215.6A pursuant to
G.S. 143-212(4).
B. A pern it for an animal waste management system is required by G.S. 143-215.1.
C. Edwin Blanchard violated Condition II_ 4. of the General NPDES Permit by causing
excessive ponding and runoff of animal waste.
D. Edwin Blanchard violated Condition 1. 1. of the General NPDES Permit by
discharging animal waste to a field ditch and a roadway ditch that drain to surface
waters.
E. Edwin Blanchard violated Condition V. 3. of the General NPDES Permit by failing
to maintain the lagoon liquid level such as to provide adequate storage to contain the
25-year, 24-hour storm event plus an additional one foot of structural freeboard.
F. Edwin Blanchard violated Condition III. 11. of the General NPDES Permit by
failing to report by telephone to the Division Regional- Office as soon as possible,
but in no case more than twenty-four (24) hours following first knowledge of the
occurrence of the failure to maintain storage capacity in the lagoon greater than or
equal to that required in Condition V. 3. of the Permit.
G. Edwin Blanchard may be assessed civil penalties in this matter pursuant to G.S. 143-
215.6A(a)(2) that provides that a civil penalty of not more than twenty-five thousand
dollars ($25,000.00) per violation may be assessed against a person who is required
but fails to apply for or to secure a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1, or who
violates or fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of
such permit.

H_ The State's enforcement costs in this matter may be assessed against Edwin
Blanchard pursuant to G_S. 143-215.3(a)(9) and G.S. 143B-282.1(b)(8).
I. The Supervisor of the Non -Discharge Compliance and Enforcement Unit of the
Water Quality Section, Division of Water Quality, pursuant to delegation provided
by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the
Director of the Division of Water Quality has the authority to assess civil penalties
in this matter.

DWQ- - CIVIL ASSESSMENT REMISSION FACTORS CONSIDERATION
Case Number: PC 2003-0023 Region WiRO County: Duplin
Assessed Entity: Edwin Blanchard (dba Possum Branch Farm)
() Whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors were wrongly applied to the
detriment of the petitioner;
Notes: None of the assessment factors were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner.
O Whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation;
Notes: There is nothing in the file to indicate that the violator promptly cleaned up the spilled
wastewater.
(} Whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
Notes: Staff believes that this violation was willful and intentional. The grower's records show
that immediately prior to the violations photographed by Rick Dove on April 12, 2003, that the
freeboard was about 11 to 12 inches and that on April 14, 2003, the day of the staffs
investigation, the freeboard was 24 inches. Staff believes that the grower was attempting to
reduce his freeboard quickly so that his integrator would restock the farm.
O Whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
Notes: The violator has not been previously assessed.
{) Whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
-remedial actions.
Notes: The violator does claim that payment of this assessment will prevent him from making
need improvements to the spray field and also will prevent the purchase of new and additional
irrigation equipment to improve waste disposal at the farm. However, the grower did not provide
financial disclosure to document his claim.

This inspection was done as a followup to the high liquid levels in the lagoons. Mr. Blanchard had made a pull on one of the bermuda
AL
fields as I arrived; there was no runoff from this event but the field was saturated within the application area. House # I is depopulated
d House #2 is being depopulated. Houses 3 and 4 are fully populated but plans are to depop these also. The plan right now is for a
survey crew to come out in the morning and accurately determine lagoon levels as the gauge may not be set properly; if the gauge is not
et properly then it needs to be reset at some time in the near future when this critical situation is over. Mr. Blanchard plans to go ahead
and transfer waste from the big lagoon to the small lagoon until the small lagoon gauge as it is currently set reads twelve inches; this
should gain a little more freeboard in the big lagoon. Also, plans arc being worked on to bring in soil to put in key locations to prevent
urface water runoff from entering the lagoon. All these plans need to be followed throu . Mr. Blanchard continued

Additional Comments and/or Prawings � s : , i
asked about applying more to the field; I told him I thought it was too wet at the time. I also told Mr. Blanchard that he needs to
A�
judge whether field conditions are appropriate for application, but he is not to have excessive ponding, runoff, overapplication, or
discharge. Mr. Blanchard says that the lagoon back side wall of the big lagoon was shrubbed about two months ago; it is grown up
and a thorough inspection of the wall cannot be made. It needs to be shrubbed again in near future once this critical situation is over,
and the woody vegetation should be killed and grass established. Thank you for your cooperation thus far in dealing with the present
situation and your continued cooperation is appreciated. Also, note that Mr. Blancheard says that prior to Sunday 7/13/03 rain he
d 20 inches or better of freeboard, but he had 11 inches of rain Sunday. If it is determined that more freeboard is in the small
lagoon, then transfer of waste to balance levels should continue in order to minimize the critical situation in the big lagoon.

In response to the Assessment of Civil Penalties letter that you sent to me on July
15, 2003, I would like to submit a request for remission or mitigation of the penalty
assessed based on the following.
This violation is the first violation on my farm in 13 years of business. I try to
comply with all regulations, but have struggled do to extremely high rainfall amounts this
spring and summer. There are a number of improvements that I need to make to my
operation including improvements to my fresh water diversions, and my spray fields. I
would also like to add new irrigation equipment to my system. The cost of these
improvements will probably exceed $20,000. I would like you to consider remission
and/or mitigation of this fine because I feel that payment of the civil penalty will prevent
payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions that I feel need to be made on my
farm.
I have attached the appropriate waiver of right to an administrative hearing and
stipulation of facts, and I ask that you consider my request in light of the financial
situation described. If I can be of any assistance, please feel free to call me at (910) 293
4727.

Inspector / Report Prepared By: Stonewall Mathis
Registered Agent: (if applicable)
Address: (if applicable)
Case Narrative: On April 12, 2003, Rick Dove photographed animal waste application with
animal waste ponding and possible discharge at the referenced facility. On April 14, 2003, in
response to Mr. Dove's complaint, Mr. Gale Stenberg and Mr. Stonewall Mathis performed an
investigation at the facility. During the investigation, staff observed animal waste ponding and
observed that animal waste runoff from an application field of the facility had discharged into a
field ditch and a roadway ditch along Interstate 40. 'Also, during the investigation, it was
discovered that Mr. Blanchard's lagoon liquid level had recently been such that there was about
12 to 13 inches of freeboard prior to the application event on April 12, 2003. Mr. Blanchard had
not reported the freeboard violation to the Regional Office.
Farm and/or Company Compliance History: Include a copy of CAFO Designation letters,
previous NOV=s, NOD= s, previous civil assessments, etc.
Mr. Blanchard has received NOD's on 8/11/97 for not following the waste plan, erosion on
lagoon wall, and waste leakage from an aluminum pipe. Mr. Blanchard received an NOV on
3/13/97 for no OIC designated. Mr. Blanchard received an NOD on 7/13/98 for not following
the waste plan, lagoon problems, and not maintaining proper setbacks during waste application.
He has received an NOV on 4/15/03 for a self reported high freeboard. He has now received an
NOV on 5/30/03 for the events outlined above.
Amount of Waste Discharge (if applicable). If amount cannot be estimated, what is the rate
of flow reaching surface water.
The amount of waste discharge reaching surface waters is estimated to be at least 1,000 gallons.

Sample Results if applicable) with locations of samples taken noted in relation to
discharge point:
Sample points "EB-Field" and "EB-Field 2" are samples of the ponded waste in the application
field. The waste had discharged into a ditch and flowed in two directions, i.e. the point at which
the waste discharged into the ditch was near a high point in the ditch. Sample points "EB-A" and
"EB-B" are taken from the ditch from flow that went to the east. Sample point "EB-A" is in the
ditch near the point of discharge from the application field. Sample point "EB-B" is in the ditch
at SR 1106 and is downstream of sample point "EB-A". Sample points "EB-1" and "EB-2" are
taken from the ditch from flow that went to the west. Sample point "EB-1" is in the ditch near
the point of discharge from the application field. Sample point "EB-2" is in the ditch and is
downstream of sample point "EB-1". Animal waste runoff had occurred from another location in
the field to the west side of the field near I-40. This runoff along with waste in the field ditch
that flowed to the west discharged into a roadway ditch along Interstate 40. Sample point "1-40
Up" is in the Interstate 40 roadway ditch upstream of the point that animal waste discharged into
the roadway ditch. Sample point "I-40 Down" is in the Interstate 40 roadway ditch downstream
of the point that animal waste discharged into the roadway ditch.

Violator's degree of cooperation (including efforts to prevent or restore) recalcitrance:
Mr. Blanchard failed to ensure proper waste application and this failure resulted in ponding of
animal waste, runoff of animal waste, and discharge of animal waste into waters of the State.
Mr. Blanchard failed to maintain the required freeboard in the lagoon. ' Mr. Blanchard failed to
notify the Regional Office' of the failure to maintain the required freeboard in the lagoon.
Fish kill observed? YIN If yes, include report from WRC.
A fish kill was not observed at the time of the inspection.
Mitigating Circumstances:
There are no mitigating circumstances.

Recommendation:
The Wilmington Regional Office is recommending assessment of civil penalties to the Director
of the Division of Water Quality pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A.
Include a copy of the previously completed Animal Operations Inspection Form, pictures and
site sketch of waste flow if waste is discharged to surface waters. Also include violator's
response to Notice of Recommendation for Enforcement. If citing certified plan or permit
condition violations, include copies of permit or plan.
Assessment Factors re uired to be considered by G.S. 143B-282.1 b :
1. The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public
health, or to private property resulting from the violation:
The animal waste discharge caused elevated fecal coliform levels in the receiving surface
waters. These pollutants are harmful to the ecology and use of the waters.
2. The duration and gravity of the violation:
The duration of the runoff of waste into the waters of the -State is thought to have
occurred for a period of a few hours. The gravity of the violation is that a total of at least
1,000 gallons is thought to have discharged to surface waters.
3. The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality:
The effect on surface water quality is documented in the provided sample results above.
The effect on ground water and air quality is thought to be minimal.
4. The cost of rectifying the damage:
The damage that was done by the animal waste to the waters of the State cannot be
rectified.
5. The amount of money saved by noncompliance:
This is not known for this case.
6. Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally:
The writer believes that the ponding and discharge violations were committed willfully.
The lagoon liquid level had recently been such that there was about 12 to 13 inches of
freeboard prior to the application event that occurred on April 12, 2003. The lagoon had
24 inches of freeboard on April 14, 2003 during the investigation. During the
investigation, Mr. Blanchard indicated that he had made only the one application event on
April 12, 2003 and had not made another since-, The 24 inches of freeboard that was
observed during the April 14, 2003 investigation is significant because that is the usual
level that the integrator requires before hogs can be restocked at a facility.

7. The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs
over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority:
Please see the comments above under Farm and/or Company Compliance History.
8. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures:
The State's enforcement costs totaled $, as follows:
Staff, Mathis, 5 hours @ $23.28/hour $ 116.40
Stenberg, 3 hours @ $17.83/hour $ 53.49
Pictures 27 @ $0.16 each $ 4.32

Division of Water Quality
Apri19, 2003
Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. NCA23I328
Possum Branch
Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Duplin County
On March 14; 2003, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued an NPDES General
Permit for swine.facilities. The General Permit was issued to enable swine facilities in North Carolina to
obtain coverage under a single permit that addresses both State and Federal requirerents.
In accordance with your application received on March 19, 2003, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to,Edwin Blanchard, authorizing the operation of the subject animal
waste. collection, treatment, storage and land= application, system in accordance Y :th "NPDES General
Permit NCA200000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your COC Number
AWS310328 to operate under State Non -Discharge Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Possum Branch, located in DuplinCounty, with an animal capacity of no greater
than an annual average of 5200 Wean to Feeder, 4896 Feeder to Finish swine and the application to land
as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to
Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are
unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows.. Any of the sows may be replaced
by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until July 1, 2007. Pursuant to this.COC, you are
authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC_ An adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this
facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAV4'MP and
this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed General Permit. Since this is a new joint State and
Federal general permit it contains many new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained
in the current State general permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and
revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay careful attention to the record keg in
and monitoring conditions in this hermit. The Devices to Automatically Stoo Irrigation Events Form
must be returned to the Division of Water Quality no later than 120 days following receipt of the
Certificate of Coverage. The Animal Facility- Annual Certification Form must be comRlleted and returned
to the Division of Water Quality by no later than March 1st of each vear.

If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation.
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a CDC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.
Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking
of the facility.
Per 15A NCAC 2H .0225(c) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100 foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon or any wetted area of a spray field.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C, the Clean Water Act and 40 CFR 122.41 including civil penalties, criminal
penalties, and injunctive relief.
If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after the expiration date of the
General Permit, an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration.
This COC is not automatically transferable.. A name/ownership change application must be submitted to
the Division prior to a name change or change in ownership.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to
apply for an individual NPDES Permit by -contacting the staff member listed below for information on
this process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding.
This .facility is located in a county covered by our Wilmington Regional Office. The Regional Office
Water Quality_ Staff may be reached at [phone]. If you need additional information concerning
this COC or the General Permit, please contact Sue Homewood at [phone] ext. 502.

NORTH CAROLINA
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT COMMISSION
DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES
SWINE WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM GENERAL NPDES PERMIT
This National Pollutant Discharge Elimination (NPDES) permit is issued pursuant to North Carolina General
Statutes 143-215 et seq. and Section 402 of the Clean Water Act, may apply to any swine facility in the State of
North Carolina and shall be effective from the date of issuance until July 1, 2007.
The animal waste management systems covered by this General Permit normally include some type of collection
system (flush, pit recharge, scraped lots, etc); pipes or ditches for transmission of the waste; lagoons or ponds to
collect, treat and store the waste; irrigation equipment; and sufficient acreage for application of the animal waste
at agronomic rates.
All activities authorized herein shall be consistent with the terms and conditions of this permit.
Holders of Certificates of Coverage (COC) under this permit shall comply with the following specified
conditions and limitations.
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface waters or wetlands is prohibited except as
otherwise provided in this permit and associated statutory and regulatory provisions. Waste shall
not reach surface waters or wetlands by runoff, drift, manmade conveyance, direct application,
direct discharge or through ditches not otherwise classified as state waters.
The waste collection, treatment, storage and application system operated under this permit shall
be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent the discharge of
pollutants to surface waters or wetlands. Application of waste to terraces and grassed
waterways is acceptable as long as it is applied in accordance with Natural Resources
Conservation Service (MRCS) Standards and does not result in a discharge of waste to the
surface waters or wetlands.
Facilities must be designed, constructed and operated to contain all waste plus the runoff from a
25-year, 24-hour rainfall event for the location of the facility. A facility that has a discharge of
waste that results because of a storm event more severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm will not
be considered to be in violation of this permit if the facility is in compliance with its Certified
Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP), the Clean Water Act (Act) and its implementing
regulations, and this permit. .
Any discharge or application of waste to a ditch that drains to surface waters or wetlands is
prohibited except as follows: (a) discharges from the ditches are controlled by best management
practices (BMPs) designed in accordance with NRCS standards; (b) the BMPs have been
submitted to and approved by the Division; (c) the BMPs were implemented as designed to
prevent a discharge to surface waters or wetlands; (d) the waste was removed immediately from
the ditch upon discovery; and (e) the event was documented and reported in accordance with Part
III.11. of this permit. Nothing in this exception shall excuse a discharge to surface waters or
wetlands except as may result because of rainfall from a storm event more severe than the 25-
year, 24-hour storm.
March 14, 2003

NPDES Permit Number NCA200000
2. No discharge of waste shall result in a violation of the water quality standards established for the
receiving waters as per Title 15A, Subchapter 2B, Section .0200 of the North Carolina
Administrative Code.
3. The facility's COC and its CAWMP are hereby incorporated by reference into this permit. The
CAWMP must be consistent with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances, and standards (federal,
state and local) in effect at the time of siting, design and certification of the facility. The
Permittee must assess, on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of the implementation of the
CAWMP. The Permittee must amend the CAWMP in order to address any changes needed to
maintain compliance with the facility's COC and this permit. Any amendment to the CAWMP
must be documented, dated, and included as part of the CAWMP. All amendments, along with
an explanation identifying all amendments, shall be submitted to the appropriate Division
regional office within ten (I0) working days of the amendment. If field, riser or pull numbers are
changed as a result of the amendment, an explanation shall also be submitted and include a

Mr. Larick,
In response to the Assessment of Civil Penalties letter that you sent to me on July
15, 2003, I would like to submit a request for remission or mitigation of the penalty
assessed based on the following.
This violation is the first violation on my farm in 13 years of business. I try to
comply with all regulations, but have struggled do to extremely high rainfall amounts this
spring and summer_ There are a number of improvements that I need to make to my
operation including improvements to my fresh water diversions, and my spray fields. I
would also like to add new irrigation equipment to my system. The cost of these
improvements will probably exceed $20,000. I would like you to consider remission
and/or mitigation of this fine because I feel that payment of the civil penalty will prevent
payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions that I feel need to be made on my
farm.
I have attached the appropriate waiver of right to an administrative hearing and
stipulation of facts, and I ask that you consider my request in light of the financial
situation described. If I can be of any assistance, please feel free to call me at (910) 293
4727.
Sincerely, CL

Mr. Shiver,
?4§3
L
I am writing this letter in response to the Notice of Violation (NOV) issued by
your office to my farm (Possum Branch, Facility No. 31-328) in Duplin county. In your
letter you discuss the events surrounding a fly over of my farm that occurred on April 12,
2003, and a subsequent inspection that occurred on April 14, 2003. Let me start by
saying that I do not dispute the findings of the inspections, and regret that any of this
occurred. I will respond to the issues raised as they are ordered in the letter.
The runoff and ponding event that occurred on this day was due to wet field
conditions and a lower travel speed than was required for the conditions. In response to
this, I will be more diligent in checking field conditions prior to applications, and will
inspect the applications at a greater frequency. Travel speed will be maximized on any
pull made during these difficult weather conditions. I have also purchased a new reel that
will increase my ability to move wastewater when conditions are good.
I have included for your review the freeboard and rainfall records for this facility.
As you can see, there has been a tremendous amount of rain during this winter and spring
that has made freeboard management difficult. I did not call in the freeboard level stated
in the letter, however, I did call in freeboard levels for my other facilities. I you can
appreciate, I was very busy during this time period trying to manage my waste systems,
and my not calling was an oversight rather than an attempt to hide the freeboard from
you. I will be more diligent in calling in any high freeboards going forward.
Once again, I regret that these events occurred. I feel that I have made positive
changes to my system that will prevent them from happening again in the future. If any -
additional information is needed, I will be glad to provide it to you.

Response to Request for Information
Inadequate Freeboard
Possum Branch Farm
!Facility-4 31-328
Duplin County
Dear Mr. Shiver:
I have attached my freeboard levels for one year for the Possum Branch,
Blanchard Farms Nursery 1. The April ffh reading of 24" was called in after I had
irrigated on April 12' .
I had not kept written rainfall records prior to the new requirement to maintain
daily rainfall records. I do know that we received between a 5 to 6 inch accumulation of
rainfall the previous week (4-8, 4-9 & 4-10). This rainfall combined with heavy rainfall
earlier in the spring contributed to the problem.
Sincerely,
Edwin Blanchard

Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Duplin County
Dear Edwin Blanchard:
On March 14, 2003, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued an NPDES General
_ Permit for swine.facilities. The General Permit was issued to enable swine facilities in North Carolina to
obtain coverage under a single permit that addresses both State and Federal requirements.
In accordance with your application received on March 19, 2003, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Edwin Blanchard, authorizing the operation of the subject animal
waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with NPDES General
Permit NCA200000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your COC Number
AWS310328 to operate under State Non -Discharge Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Possum Branch, located in DuplinCounty, with an animal capacity of no greater
than an annual average of 5200 Wean to Feeder, 4896 Feeder to Finish swine and the application to land
as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to
Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, .there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are
unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows.. Any of the sows may be replaced
by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until July 1, 2007. Pursuant to this COC, you are
authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this
facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and
this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed General Permit. Since this is a new joint State and
Federal general permit it contains many new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained
in the current State general permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and
revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please Qay careful attention to the record keeping
and monitorine conditions in this hermit. The Devices to Automatically Stou Irrigation Events Form
must be returned to the Division of Water Quality no later than 120 days following receipt of the
Certificate of Coverage. The Animal Facility Annual Certification Form must be completed and returned__
to the Division of Water Quality- by no later than March 1st of each year.

If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.
Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking
of the facility.
Per 15A NCAC 211 .0225(c) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100 foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon or any wetted area of a spray field.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COG the General Permit
or the CAWNT may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C, the Clean Water Act and 40 CFR 122.41 including civil penalties, criminal
penalties, and injunctive relief.
If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after_the expiration date of the
General Permit, an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration.
This COC is not automatically transferable. A name/ownership change application must be submitted to
the Division prior to a name change or change in ownership.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to
apply for an individual NPDES Permit by contacting the staff member listed below for information on
this process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding.

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 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 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
dishing will coaseive 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.

DWision of Environmental Management 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 laud on which to properly apply the 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 (sample enclosed) with a landowner
who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him&er 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 Manageient System (RMS)
or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be
no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used
where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to 'Buffers"
required by DEM.. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390
(Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.]
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when the wind is blowing.
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 Nortb
Carolina" in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.)

7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that
nmoff does not occur offshe 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 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 shallbe applied on actively growing crops m such a manner that no
more than. 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered.
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 minimums 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
on bare soft.
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance
may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter
strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter -Strips)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 31-328
Duplin County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
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, DRYS, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLD1, 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.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the
DWQ staff at [phone] ext. 571.

Possum Branch
Permit Number: AWS310328��
Duplin County
Dear Edwin Blanchard:
In accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.10G, all animal operations who receive an animal
waste management system permit will be charged in each year of the term an annual permit fee. Annual permit fees are
billed following the issuance of the permit and then annually thereafter on the anniversary of that date. Your animal waste
management system permit was issued on 5/19/97.
Your annual permit fee for the period of 5/19/99 - 5/18/2000 is $300.00. Your payment was due 7/8/99. Because
this fee was not fully paid within 30 days after being billed, this letter initiates action to revoke the subject permit, pursuant
to 15 NCAC 2H .0205 (c) (4). and G.S. 143-215.1 (b) (3).
Effective 60 days from receipt of this notice, the subject permit is hereby revoked unless the required Annual
Animal Waste Management System Permit fee for your animal operation is received within that time. Operation of an
animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and is
subject to the assessment of a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per day. Your payment should be sent to:

this facility on May 19, 1997. In accordance with the issuance of the revised General Permit, we are
forwarding this Certificate of Coverage (COC) to Edwin Blanchard, authorizing the operation of the
subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with
General Permit AWG100000. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but

surface waters. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and
operational information must be established for this farm. Any increase in waste production greater than
the certified design capacity or increase in number of stocked animals above.the number authorized by
this COC will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and shall be completed prior to
actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the
General Permit or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance
with NCGS 143-215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive

COC No. AWS310328
Duplin County
Dear Edwin Blanchard:
The subject facility was issued a Certificate of Coverage (COC) on 5/19/97 authorizing the
operation of the animal waste collection, treatment, storage, and land application system in accordance
with General Permit No. AWGI00000. On Aug. 27, 1997 Governor Hunt signed into law the Clean
Water Responsibility Act. The Clean Water Responsibility Act included several changes to the Swine
Farm Siting Act (Siting Act) including the requirement that all set back distances .be met for any swine
lagoon or swine house for which construction commences on or after the effective date .of the Clean Water
Responsibility Act (Aug. 27, 1997). Before the Siting Act was amended, it required the set back distances
be met at the time the swine house or lagoon was sited. The change in siting- requirements may apply to
your farm since construction may not have commenced by the effective date of the -Clean Water
Responsibility Act.
Your farm was permitted prior to the effective date" of the Clean. Water Responsibility,. Act;
therefore, you meet one of the exceptions to the moratorium. However, the farm must. be re-evaluated
and, if necessary, re -designed to meet -the new requirements of the Siting Act to remain covered under the
General Permit. Within 15 days of the date of this letter, you are requested to submit, notification to the
Division of Water Quality whether the farm was under construction on or before Aug. 27, 1997.
If the farm was not under construction on or before Aug. 27, 1997, then a revised Certified Animal
Waste Management Plan must be submitted to reflect the new siting requirements. Construction not in
compliance with the Siting Act is a violation of State Statutes and the General Permit.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this matter, please contact me at (919) 733-

�Ie 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 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 runoffto 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
di -,king 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.

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 -otwaste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal
discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the
Division of Environmental Management 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 on which to properly apply the 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 (sample enclosed) 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
.S 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 Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390
(Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.]
S. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when the wind is blowing.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it twill 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 Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance_)

(continued)
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 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 thatno
more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered.
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
on bare soil.
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance
may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter
straps are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter -Strips)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other thawthose

Vegetation such as trees, sluubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas
where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible.
Lagoon berms_and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion,
leakage, or discharge.
19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated; the owner is
responsible tor obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
20. Waste handling strictures, 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.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEMENT
Name of Farm:--M— `
Owner/Manager Agreement
I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specification and the operation and
maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the
farm named above. 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 Environment Management (DEM) before
the new animals are stocked. I (we) also understand that there must be no discharge of
animal waste from this system to surface wasters of the state from a storm event less
severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm. The approved plan will be filed on -site at the
farm office and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District and will be
available for review by DEM upon request.

COMMENTS: The lagoon has been designed as � i44ular sl
Actual contour areas taken from the lagoon design are used to calculate
the surface area and storage volume characteristics of the lagoon.
This approach insures that rainfall capture on the lagoon is fully
accounted for and that storage volumes calculated represent actual _
conditions regardless of the shape.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS
FOUNDATION PREPARATION:
The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be cleared of
trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush, boulders, sod, and rubbish. Satisfactory disposition
will be made of all debris. The topsoil from the lagoon and pad area should be stripped
and stockpiled for use on the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area
of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior to placing
the first lift of fill material to get a good bond.
EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT
The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines, grades, and elevations
shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen
soil, stones over 6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent they
are suitable, excavated material may be used as fill. The fill shall be brought up in
approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9 inches in thickness when loose and prior
to compaction. Each layer will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and
spreading equipment or standard tamping roller or equivalent method. Compaction will
be considered adequate when fill material is observed to consolidate to the point that
settlement is not readily detectable. NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR
PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION.
The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials from
the required excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for settlement.
Dikes over 15 feet in height with an impoundment capacity of 10 acre—feet or more fall
under the jurisdiction of the NC Dam Safety Law and require permitting by the NC Dept. of
Environment, Health and Natural Resources, Land Quality Section. The height is defined
as the difference in elevation from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike.
Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and
sedimentation.
LINER:
THE MINIMUM REQUIRED CLAY LINER THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.6 FT.
NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN INDICATED ON THE
DRAWINGS OR WHEN MATERIAL IS ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION THAT
WILL NOT PROVIDE THE PERMEABILITY LIMITS AS STATED LATER IN THIS SECTION.
SUCH MATERIAL IS CONSIDERED UNSUITABLE WITH RESPECT TO LINING. A TYPICAL
CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER IS INCLUDED IN THE DRAWINGS WHEN LINERS
ARE REQUIRED.

When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be overexcavated below
finish grade to the specked depth as measured perpendicular to the finish grade. The
foundation shall be backfilled as specified to grade with a material approved by the
engineer or his representative.
REFER TO THE DRAWINGS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS.
Soil liner material shall come from an approved borrow area. The minimum moisture
content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture content which relates to that
moisture content when the soil is kneaded in the hand it will form a ball which does not
readily separate. Water shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture
content during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner material shall not
be less than optimum moisture content during placement The maximum moisture
content relates -to the soil material being too wet for efficient use of hauling equipment and
proper compaction. Proper compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and
compacted to at least 95 percent of the Standard Proctor Maximum Dry Density
(ASTM D698) of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous lift shall be scarified
and moistened as needed before placement of the next lift
The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted permeability of a clay
liner, other than the type of clay used for the liner, is the efficient construction processing
of the compacted liner. The sequence of equipment in an established pattern helps
assure uniformity in the entire placement and compaction process. For most clay soils, a
tamping or sheepsfoot roller is the preferred type of compaction equipment.
In accordance with NRCS South National Technical Center (SNTC) Technical Note 716
(revised September 1993) the maximum allowable specific discharge of the liner is
1.0 x 10-s cm/sec. This specific discharge is dependant on the permeability of the
liner material, the liner thickness, and the hydrostatic pressure on the liner. With the
minimum required liner thickness stated earlier and the maximum liquid depth in the
lagoon, the maximum permeability of the compacted liner is 1.25 x 10`6cm/sec. Upon
completion of the liner, undisturbed samples will be taken and tested for actual
permeability. Any permeability tests indicating a higher permeability than stated above
will be considered as failing. Failing tests will require recompaction of the liner material
and retesting.
For lagoons being built in soils which do not require clay lining the same permeability
requirements apply as for clay liners and testing of the in —situ material will be conducted.
During the excavation process, soils at the excavated surface are loosened as adjacent
material is being removed. As a result, the permeability of these surface soils is increased.
To insure proper compaction and minimum soil permeability, when lagoon excavation is
complete the inner side slopes and bottom shall be rolled thoroughly prior to testing.

The soil liner shall be protected from scour produced by the discharge from waste outlet
pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator: concrete flumes,
concrete blocks laid tightly together, or using flexible pipe outlets on waste pipes.
Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant When these are
specified, additional construction specifications are included with this Construction
Specification or are shown on the drawings.
CUTOFF TRENCH:
A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when called for in the
notes on the drawings or as shown on a typical cross section on the drawings. The final
dimensions of the cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation
materials during construction.
VEGETATION:
All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the
planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construction according to the
seeding specifications. Topsoil, if available on site should be placed on areas of the dike
and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch shall be used if recommended
permanent vegetation is out of season dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should
be established as soon as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates.
REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS:
An observation trench shall be dug along the perimeter of the lagoon 25 feet outside the
proposed embankment toe to verify that no subsurface drain file lines are present in the
lagoon area The trench shall be dug to a minimum depth of five feet and shall have a width
adequate to accommodate equipment used for backfill and compaction. Trench side
slopes shall be 1:1 or flatter. Trench backfill shall be compacted as stated in the
EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT section of the specification.
When file drains are encountered, the tile will be removed to a minimum of 25 feet beyond
the outside toe of slope of the dike. The file trench shall be backfilled and compacted with
material approved by the engineer or his representative. Tile drains that are removed
shall be either capped off or rerouted around the lagoon, as directed by the engineer or
his representative.
SAFETY AND HEALTH REQUIREMENTS:
All operations shall be carried out in a safe, skillful, and workmanlike manner. All safety and
health regulations shall be observed and appropriate personal safety and health measures
used at all times during construction.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and 180 days of
temporary storage. 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 of temporary storage for:
(1) manure production of animals, (2) excess fresh water storage, (3) rainfall in
excess of evaporation, (4) storage for the 25 year / 24 hour storm for the location,
(5) and, if applicable, an additional 'heavy rain" storage volume for chronic rainfall
events. Allocation for any additional fresh water usage is also included in the
temporary storage. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals
will be fairly constant throughout the year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to year.
The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but
this storage volume must always be available.
A staff gauge must be installed in the lagoon that indicates the start pumping and stop
pumping levels. The start pumping level is the maxium liquid level under normal operating
conditions. The stop pumping level is the minimum liquid level under normal
operation to maintain required treatment volume and depth. Pumping can be started
and stopped anywhere between these two elevations for operating convenience as site
conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste
without runoff or leaching. However, it is recommended that the lagoon be kept
pumped down as much as possible.
Land application of wastewater is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal.
Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling guns. Care
should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is required that the treatment lagoon be precharged to one—half the treatent volume
or as otherwise specified on the lagoon design drawings before wastes are introduced.
The purpose is to prevent excessive odors during start—up. Precharging reduces the
concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should
be covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete, flush buildings with
recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after initial filling.
2. The attached Waste Utilization Plan shall be followed. The plan recommends
sampling and testing of waste before land application.

ADDRESS: 306 CHARLIE FREDERICK ROAD CHECKED BY: JNT
WARSAW, NC DATE: 04/10/97
COUNTY: DUPLIN SHEET 2 OF 2
3. Begin temporary storage pump —out of the lagoon when the fluid level reaches the
elevation 96.90 as marked by the staff gauge. Stop pump --out when the fluid level
reaches elevation 94.60. This temporary storage, less 25 year / 24 hour storm,
contains 103299 cubic feet or 772679 gallons.
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the
recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 inches per hour. Refer to the waste
utilization plan for further details.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed
annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand.
6. Repair any eroded or damaged areas and establish in vegetation.
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets.
B. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization
fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will not be applied in open ditches.
Do not pump within 200 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall
be applied in a manner such that waste will not reach other property and public
rights —of —way.
9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters
of the United States. Waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways,
or wetlands by either discharge or by over --spraying. The Department of Environment,
Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Management,
has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

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

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS
FOUNDATION PREPARATION:
The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be cleared of
trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush, boulders, sod, and rubbish. Satisfactory disposition
will be made of all debris. The topsoil from the lagoon and pad area should be stripped
and stockpiled for use on the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area
of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior to placing
the first lift of fill material to get a good bond.
EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT
The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines, grades, and elevations
shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen
soil, stones over 6 Inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent they
are suitable, excavated material may be used as fill. The fill shall be brought up in
approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9 inches In thickness when loose and prior
to compaction. Each layer will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and
spreading equipment or standard tamping roller or equivalent method. Compaction will
be considered adequate when fill material is observed to consolidate to the point that
settlement is not readily detectable. NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR
PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION.
The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials from
the required excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for settlement.
Dikes over 15 feet in height with an Impoundment capacity of 10 acre—feet or more fall
under the jurisdiction of the NO Dam Safety Law and require permitting by the NO Dept. of
Environment, Health and Natural Resources, Land Quality Section. The height Is defined
as the difference in elevation from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike.
Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and
sedimentation.
LINER:
THE MINIMUM REQUIRED CLAY LINER THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.6 FT.
NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN INDICATED ON THE
DRAWINGS OR WHEN MATERIAL IS ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION THAT
WILL NOT PROVIDE THE PERMEABILITY LIMITS AS STATED LATER IN THIS SECTION.
SUCH MATERIAL IS CONSIDERED UNSUITABLE WITH RESPECT TO LINING. A TYPICAL
CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER IS INCLUDED IN THE DRAWINGS WHEN LINERS
ARE REQUIRED.

When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be overexcavated below
finish grade to the specified depth as measured perpendicular to the finish grade. The
foundation shall be backfilled as specified to grade with a material approved by the
engineer or his representative.
REFER TO THE DRAWINGS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS.
Soil liner material shall come from an approved borrow area. The minimum moisture
content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture content which relates to that
moisture content when the soil is kneaded in the hand it will form a ball which does not
readily separate. Water shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture
content during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner material shall not
be less than optimum moisture content during placement. The maximum moisture
content relates. to the soil material being too wet for efficient use of hauling equipment and
proper compaction. Proper compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and
compacted to at least 95 percent of the Standard Proctor Maximum Dry Density
(ASTM D698) of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous_ lift shall be scarified
and moistened as needed before placement of the next lift.
The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted permeability of a clay
liner, other than the type of clay used for the liner, is the efficient construction processing
of the compacted liner. The sequence of equipment In an established pattern helps
assure uniformity in the entire placement and compaction process. For most clay soils, a
tamping or sheepsfoot roller is the preferred type of compaction equipment.
In accordance with NRCS South National Technical Center (SNTC) Technical Note 716
(revised September 1993) the maximum allowable specific discharge of the liner Is
1.0 x 10-5 cm/sec. This specific discharge Is dependant on the permeability of the
liner material, the liner thickness, and the hydrostatic pressure on the liner. With the
minimum required liner thickness stated earlier and the maximum liquid depth in the
lagoon, the maximum permeability of the compacted liner is 1.25 x 10-6cm/sec. Upon
completion of the liner, undisturbed samples will be taken and tested for actual
permeability. Any permeability tests indicating a higher permeability than stated above
will be considered as failing. Falling tests will require recompaction of the liner material
and retesting.
For lagoons being built in soils which do not require clay lining the same permeability
requirements apply as for clay liners and testing of the In --situ material will be conducted.
During the excavation process, soils at the excavated surface are loosened as adjacent
material is being removed. As a result, the permeability of these surface soils is increased.
To insure proper compaction and minimum soil permeability, when lagoon excavation Is
complete the inner side slopes and bottom shall be rolled thoroughly prior to testing.

The soil liner shall be protected from scour produced by the discharge from waste outlet
pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy diss€pator: concrete flumes,
concrete blocks laid tightly together, or using flexible pipe outlets on waste pipes.
Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant. When these are
specified, additional construction specifications are included with this Construction
Specification or are shown on the drawings.
CUTOFF TRENCH:
A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when called for in the
notes on the drawings or as shown on a typical cross section on the drawings. The final
dimensions of the cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation
materials during construction.
VEGETATION:
All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the
planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construction according to the
seeding specifications. Topsoil, If available on site should be placed on areas of the dike
and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch shall be used if recommended
permanent vegetation Is out of season dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should
be established as soon as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates.
REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS:
An observation trench shall be dug along the perimeter of the lagoon 25 feet outside the
proposed embankment toe to verify that no subsurface drain the lines are present in the
lagoon area. The trench shall be dug to a minimum depth of five feet and shall have a width
adequate to accommodate equipment used for backfill and compaction. Trench side
slopes shall be 1:1 or flatter. Trench backfill shall be compacted as stated in the
EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT section of the specification.
When tile drains are encountered, the the will be removed to a minimum of 25 feet beyond
the outside toe of slope of the dike. The the trench shall be backfilled and compacted with
material approved by the engineer or his representative. Tile drains that are removed
shall be either capped off or rerouted around the lagoon, as directed by the engineer or
his representative.
SAFETY AND HEALTH REQUIREMENTS:
All operations shall be carried out in a safe, skillful, and workmanlike manner. All safety and
health regulations shall be observed and appropriate personal safety and health measures
used at all times during construction.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
This lagoon Is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and 180 days of
temporary storage. 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 of temporary storage for:
(1) manure production of animals, (2) excess fresh water storage, (3) rainfall in
excess of evaporation, (4) storage for the 25 year 124 hour storm for the location,
(5) and, if applicable, an additional "heavy rain° storage volume for chronic rainfall
events. Allocation for any additional fresh water usage is also included in the
temporary storage. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals
will be fairly constant throughout the year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to year.
The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but
this storage volume must always be available.
A staff gauge must be installed in the lagoon that Indicates the start pumping and stop
pumping levels. The start pumping level Is the maxium liquid level under normal operating
conditions. The stop pumping level is the minimum liquid level under normal
operation to maintain required treatment volume and depth. Pumping can be started
and stopped anywhere between these two elevations for operating convenience as site
conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste
without runoff or leaching. However, It Is recommended that the lagoon be kept
pumped down as much as possible.
Land application of wastewater is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal.
Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling guns. Care
should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is required that the treatment lagoon be precharged to one—half the treatent volume
or as otherwise specified on the lagoon design drawings before wastes are introduced.
The purpose is to prevent excessive odors during start --up. Precharging reduces the
concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should
be covered with effluent at all times. When precharging Is complete, flush buildings with
recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after initial filling.
2. The attached Waste Utilization Plan shall be followed. The plan recommends'
sampling and testing of waste before land application.

3. Begin temporary storage pump —out of the lagoon when the fluid level reaches the
elevation 96.90 as marked by the staff gauge. Stop pump --out when the fluid level
reaches elevation 94.60. This temporary storage, less 25 year / 24 hour storm,
contains 103299 cubic feet or 772679 gallons.
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per Irrigation is one (1) inch and the
recommended maximum application rate Is 0.3 Inches per hour. Refer to the waste
utilization plan for further details.
5, Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed
annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand.
6. Repair any groded or damaged areas and establish in vegetation.
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets.
8. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization
fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will not be applied In open ditches.
Do not pump within 200 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shal l
be applied in a manner such that waste will not reach other property and public
rights —of —way.
9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants Into waters
of the United States. Waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways,
or wetlands by either discharge or by over —spraying. The Department of Environment,
Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental Management,
has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

Dear Mr. Blanchard:
On August 7, 1997, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality
inspected your animal operation and the lagoons serving this operation. During the inspection, it was
observed that you had not established 13.5 acres of bermuda in field #1, as outlined in your certified animal
waste management plan. In addition, erosion cuts were observed at the toe of the new lagoon which could
eventually threaten the integrity of the structure. Finally, evidence of waste leakage from the joint of your
aluminum piping into a drainage pathway was observed.
To correct these deficiencies, bermuda should be established in specified field or your plan should
be amended to reflect the actual crop cover. In addition, the erosion at the toe of the new lagoon should be
corrected. Finally, the aluminum irrigation piping should be set up so there is no future leakage into any
drainage pathways.
You must notify this office in writing within fourteen (14) days of the receipt of this notice, what
actions will be taken to comply with your certified animal waste management plan. Failure to do so may result
in the facility being required to obtain an individual non discharge permit.

Dear Mr. Blanchard:
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study
Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly,
requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more
swine by January 1, 1997. The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a
designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an
Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be
submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a
certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H
.0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty.
If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please
contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office.
Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for
the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this requirement please
call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt of our staff at 919/733-0026.

Dear M- r. Blanchard:
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. New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31, 1993 must obtain signed
certification before animals are stocked on the farm. Certification of an approved animal
waste management planecan 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 [phone].

CIPLFtflTION AND PfAIN ENANGE !-1-nN
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and
WO days of temporary storage. The time required for the planned
fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary
dues 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. n1su
included is storage for, the 20 year - 24 hour storm for the location.
I'he voli.cme of waste generated from a given number of animals will be
fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but erccess
rainfall will vary from year to year. The 23 year rainfall will not
be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this, storage
volume must always he available.
0 maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin
pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(,) 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. On elevation r€€€_isst be established
to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth.
Rumpi.nq can be started or stopped at any time between these two
elevations for operating convenionce as site conditions permit, such as
weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without
runoff or leat.lriny.
Land application of waste wetter 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 applyinq waste: to prevent damaye to <::rops.
The following items are to he carried out
t. It i5 strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre --
charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during
start-up. Pro -charging reduces the concentration of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be
covered with effluent at all times. When prec,harging is complete,
flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. f=re%h water should not
be used For flushing aRer initial filling.
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
roaches the elevation 44.7 an marked by permanent marker. Stop puwp--
out who" the fluid level reaches elevation 42.9 . This temporary
storage, less 25 yr'-• 24 hr storm, contains WWI [:optic feet or
244082 gallons.

4. The recommended maxiMIA111 amcskmt to apply per ir-r•ivation is
one (1) inch -And the recommended maximmm appli.cati.an rate is 0-3
inch per hoi_cr. Refer to the wtasitp utilization plan for imrtlipr details.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment asrci-areas adjacent to the
laquon mowc+d annKially. Vegetation should he fertilized as needed
to maintain a vigorous stand.
6. Repair .zny eroded areas or ar vas damaged by rodents and

not be applied in open ditches. Do rrcrt pump within 200 feet of a
residence or within 100 feet of a wall. Waste %h.al.l he applied in a

Soil liner material shall cu,uss from an approved burrow area. The
minimum water content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture
content which relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneaded
in the hand it will form a'a hall which does not reMily separate. Wa-ater
shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture content
during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner
material shall not be less than optimum water content during placement.
The maximum waiter content relates to the soil material being too wet
for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Proper
c:oapaction of the liner, includes placement in 9 inch lifts and
compacted to at least 90 percent of the. maximum ASTM D698 Dry Unit
Weight of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous; lift
shall he sae:aarii'ied and moistened as needed before placement of the next
lift.
The s>inglea most important factor affecting the. overall compacted perme--
ability of as clay liner, other than the type of clay used for the
liner, is the efficient construction proQes3sing of the compacted liner.
The sequence of equipment use and the routing of equipment in an estaah -
1 isshed pattern helps assure uniformity in the whale placement and
compaction process. For most clay soils, a tamping Or shveps-foot
roller is the preferable types of compaction equi.pmont.
The roil liner shall he protected from the d.isscharge of waste outlet

NAME: Edwin Blanchard
OP17-RA T IC►N AND MAINTENANCE
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 app l i cation of waste water- it, recognized as an acceptable
method of d i sprrsa l . Irrigation by using center pivot, gun, or -
traveler is the preferred and most efficient method to dispose of
the effluent from the E a<loon . Care should be taken when applying
waste to prevent damage to the crops and to prevent runoff from
the fieIdTr.
T.he following items are to be carried out:
1. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches invert
of the outlet pipes or at a pro -determined elevation.
Z. Stop pump -out before the lagoon depth is less than 6 feet
deep or at it pre --determined depth. (This prevents the loss of
favorable bacteria)
3. The recommended arnount to apply per irrigation is one inch,
and maximum recommended application rate is ►a 5 inch per hour.
4. It is recrimmended that the treatment lagoon be pr-echar-ged to
1 /2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during bp9 i nn i ng
stages of' the oparatio►;. Precharging reduces the concentration of
the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors.
Solids should her. covered with water at all times.
5. Keep vegetation r.,n the embankment and areas around the I a.,ji_Eon
and Liu i I -J i ng5 mowed.
6. Repair any eroded areas and establish in vegetation.
7. The Clean Water Art of 1977 prohibits the discharge of
pollutants, into waters of the United States. The Department of
Environment, Health, and Natural Rescxurces, Wa5tewater-
Management Section, has the responsibility for enf orc i n.,j this
law.
8. All surface water- is to be r1 Everted from the i agorin to an
adequate and stable ,outlet.
CERTIFICATION:
I hereby certify that I understand the operation and maintenance
requirements stated above. Furthermore, I understand how many
acres are? required in carder- to I and apply the waste and that
the lagoon may have to be pumped I or more times a year. This j
design has been explained to me and I agree with all provisions
stated in the design. I also certify that there are no residence
otl-ter than mine or my tenants' within 750 feet of this operation. I
I understand that compliance with this design DOES NOT prevent
i;omeone from suing me herause of nuisance or ether reasons.
