UPDATED WETTABLE ACRES AND CHANGED FIELD CROPS.
10/ 1 /2001
THIS PLAN IS A REVISION OF THE 12/9/98 PLAN COMPLETED BY RONNIE G. KENNEDY JR
OF AGRIMENT SERVICES INC. THIS PLAN DEPICTS THE WETTABLE ACRES ON THE FARM
AND DISPLAYS THE SAME IN THE CALCULATION TABLES.
NOTE THIS PLAN WILL NOT BECOME EFFECTIVE UNTIL OCT 1, 2001. FIELD 4 WILL BE
CONVERTING FROM CROPLAND TO HAYLAND THE FIRST AVAILABLE DATES FOR THIS
WILL BE SPRING OF 2002 UNLESS A LATE HARVEST FOR THE LAST CROP
OCCURS.(REGULATORS SHOULD TAKE NOTE)
IT IS PERMISSABLE FOR OTHER WINTER ANNUAL CROPS TO BE PLANTED IN PLACE OF
TYPICAL WHEAT SUCH AS RYE GRASS, RYE GRAIN, BARLEY AND OATS.
FIELDS DENOTED WITH HW ARE TO BE UTILIZED BY 14ONEYWAGON (HONEYWAGON
CERTIFICATION FORM ENCLOSED). FIELD 4 IS COMPUTED IN THE TABLES TO BE
WETTED WITH THE EXISTING HARD HOSE TRAVELER SYSTEM; HOWEVER, IT IS MORE
® PRACTICAL, WITH DITCHES PRESENT AND HIGH MGT. AREAS IN THE WAY OF THE
TEMPORARY PIPE, TO IRRIGATE WITH HONEY WAGON.
NO WASTE SHOULD BE APPLIED TO A CROP THAT DOES NOT HAVE A REALISTIC YIELD
FOR THE USAGE OF IRRIGATED SWINE WASTE, EXCEPT FOR PREPLANT. ALL FIELDS
MUST MEET MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS WHEN USED. MR. KENNEDY
PLANS TO APPLY SWINE WASTE IN ACCORDANCE WITH HIS SPECIFIC WASTE ANALYSIS
NOT TO EXCEED THE HYDRAULIC LOADING OF THE SOILS.

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

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for
sludge utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen
concentrations for each source, the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application
rates shown in the second column.
Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At
clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the
priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since
nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied.
Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be
used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should 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 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.

0 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 peryear provided grass filter
strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field
Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste
application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift
from the land application field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste
will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is
applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be
broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone
to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance).
------------------_-_--_----------------------------------------------------------
53t017 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: 6/26/2017 Specification 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.
S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall
events, or when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner
that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit
growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be
considered.
10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring
planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient
loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable
winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not
be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages
breaking dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with
the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is .
applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least
50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste,
other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995,
shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other
than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and
public right-of-ways.
--'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
531017 Database Version 4.1 • Date Printed: 6/26/2017 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 r'
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.
-------------------------------- -- - - -- --------------------------------------------
531017 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: 6/26/2017 Specification Page 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.

Bermudagrass Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Moderately Well Drained.
Adaptation: Well -adapted.
In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. I to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs I" to 3"
deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and
wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a
rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing •
conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced 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 Ib/ac N in
the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240
Ib/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts.
Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization
of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or
extension agent for assistance.

Double -crop soybeans should be planted as early in June as possible with planting completed by July 4th.
When no -tilling soybeans in small grain straw, it is essential to manage the straw to achieve adequate
plant populations. Review the NCSU 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 2-4 seed/row foot for 7-8" drills; 4-6 seed/row foot for 15" rows; 6-8 seed/row foot for 30" rows
and 8-10 seed/row foot for 36" rows. Increase the seeding rate by at least 10% for no -till planting.
Seeding depth should be 1-1 1/2" and adequate depth control is essential. Phosphorus and potash
recommended for the soybeans can be applied to the wheat in the Fail. Soybeans produce their own
nitrogen and are normally grown without additions of nitrogen. However, applications of 20-30 lbs/acre
N are sometimes made at planting to promote early growth and vigor. Tissue samples can be analyzed
during the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status of the soybeans. Timely management of
weeds and insects is essential for profitable double crop soybean production.

Dear Mr. Farnell:

Operations Section
Wilmington Regional Office
This memo is to address the Notice of Violation letter received by me on December, 19 2016.
Please accept the following information for corrective actions.
Violation 1: The leak was contained to the farm and drainage pipe repaired. See attached
photo. We plan to make every effort to keep this from Napping again.
Violation 2: I will make every effort to minimize the application time to avoid excessive
pumping or runoff. Fields will be closely monitored to prohibit future ponding
during application events.
Violation 3: As recommended by the Regional Agronomist I plan to re -sprig in the spring of
2017. I also have been working on cropland field and plan to plant as soon as
weather permits.
Violation 4: In the future (weather permitting) i plan to pump lagoon lower in summer time.
Violation 5: In the event of ponding or failed waste management system I will notify DWR
staff within 24 hours of the event.
In conclusion all efforts are being made to get back in compliance and stay there. Although with
the current weather condition it has been very difficult. I plan to do a better job managing my
farm and stay in close contact with Agriment Services for advice and to keep DWR informed of
my progress.
Sincerely,
Benny Kennedy

DESIGN CAPACITY: 2448 FEEDER TO FINISH
THIS PLAN IS A REVISION OF THE 1219198 PLAN COMPLETED BY RONNIE G. KENNEDY JR
OF AGRIMENT SERVICES INC. THIS PLAN DEPICTS THE WETTABLE ACRES ON THE FARM
AND DISPLAYS THE SAME IN THE CALCULATION TABLES.
NOTE THIS PLAN WILL NOT BECOME EFFECTIVE UNTIL OCT 1, 2001. FIELD 4 WILL BE
CONVERTING FROM CROPLAND TO HAYLAND THE FIRST AVAILABLE DATES FOR THIS
WILL BE SPRING OF 2002 UNLESS A LATE HARVEST FOR THE LAST CROP
OCCURS.(REGULATORS SHOULD TAKE NOTE)
IT IS PERMISSABLE FOR OTHER WINTER ANNUAL CROPS TO BE PLANTED IN PLACE OF
TYPICAL WHEAT SUCH AS RYE GRASS, RYE GRAIN, BARLEY AND OATS.
FIELDS DENOTED WITH HW ARE TO BE UTILIZED BY HONEYWAGON (HONEYWAGON
CERTIFICATION FORM ENCLOSED). FIELD 4 IS COMPUTED IN THE TABLES TO BE
WETTED WITH THE EXISTING HARD HOSE TRAVELER SYSTEM; HOWEVER, IT IS MORE
PRACTICAL, WITH DITCHES PRESENT AND HIGH MGT. AREAS IN THE WAY OF THE
TEMPORARY PIPE, TO IRRIGATE WITH HONEY WAGON.
DUE TO THE DEFICIT NOTED IN THIS WUP MR. KENNEDY HAS THE FLEXIBILITY TO
PLANT 3 ACRES OF TOBACCO EVERY OTHER YEAR IN THE AREA DEPICTED ON THE MAP
AS FIELD 3, 3A. DURING THE YEARS TOBACCO IS UTILIZED NO CORN OR SOYBEANS
WILL BE PLANTED IN THIS AREA DUE TO CROP PLANTING OVERLAP; HOWEVER, A
WINTER ANNUAL WILL BE UTILIZED EACH YEAR REGARDLESS.
NO WASTE SHOULD BE APPLIED TO A CROP THAT DOES NOT HAVE A REALISTIC YIELD
FOR THE USAGE OF IRRIGATED SWINE WASTE, EXCEPT FOR PREPLANT. ALL FIELDS
MUST MEET MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS WHEN USED. MR.
KENNEDY PLANS TO APPLY SWINE WASTE IN ACCORDANCE WITH HIS SPECIFIC WASTE
ANALYSIS NOT TO EXCEED THE HYDRAULIC LOADING OF THE SOILS.

Preview Database Version 1.0- Date Printed: 10-25-2001 Narrative Page 1

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

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 not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with
high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water
moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a
concern.

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.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
t. 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 - Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disldng after waste
application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift
from the land application field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will
be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is
applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be
broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone
to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance).
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration
rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
561858 Database Version 1.06 Date Printed: 07-12-2001 Specification Page 1

method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No
ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall
events, or when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner
that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit
growth The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be
considered.
10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring
planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient
loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable
winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be
applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages
breaking dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October.1, 1995 shall comply with
the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is
applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least
50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste,
other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995,
shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other
than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public
right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways,
or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be
applied to prior converted 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.
- - - - - --------------
S-6- Database Version LO Date Printed 07-I2-200! Specification Page 2

16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets,
sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management
system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all
disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas
shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as
trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where
considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and
accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for
evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the
owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan"
which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and
erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected
on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular
maintenance checklist should be kept on site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other
crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on
crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant
with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom
elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste
treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level
between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum
storage volume for waste storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested
at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen
shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require
waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower
application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the
soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these
--------------------------------------------------------- -----

metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for
optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall
be maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records
for all other waste shall be maintained for a minimum of five years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

Bermudagrass Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Poorly Drainea:t o Somewhat Poorly Drained.
Adaptation: Effective artificial drainage MUST be in place to achieve Realistic Yield Expectations
provided for these soils.
1n 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 bulac 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 V to 1.5' in row. For
broadcastJdisked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus, potassium
and micromtrients 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 far more information or consult your regional agronomist or extension agent for
assistance.
The following crop note applies to field(s): 4, 4 hw
Cereal/Annual Rye Overseeded — Hay
CEREAL RYE
The cereal rye should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth. The
most consistent stands are obtained from drilling rye into short (less than 3 inches tall) bermudagrass sod.
If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation
with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the
rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August
31. An application of 50 lbs/acre of Plant Available N (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and
October 30. An additional 501bs.acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. if rye growth is
harvested on time and does not significantly shade the bermuda, PAN rates for the subsequent bermuda
crop are based on realistic yields of bermuda. A harvest is required prior to heading or April 7, which ever
comes first. This is necessary to minimize the potential for shading bermuda and reducing its yields.
ANNUAL RYEGRASS
Annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth.
The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short (less than 3 inches tall)
bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed
by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds
should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the
bermuda prior to August 31. An application of 50 lbslacre of PAN may be applied between September 15
and October 30. An additional 50 lbs. acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If additional PAN
is applied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the Bermuda must be reduced by a corresponding
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- ------------------------
561s58 Database Version 1.0. Date Printed: 07-12-2001 Crop Note Page 1

amount. This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will reduce bermuda yields and
shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is required by heading or April 7, which ever
comes first to prevent shading of emerging bermuda during April -May period. To favor the production of
the bermuda, additional harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15
inches height.
The following crop note applies to field(s): 3,3A
Corn: CP, Mineral Soil, medium leaching
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 20-30 lbs/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 weeks and insects are essential for corn production.
The following crop note applies to field(s): 3,3A
Double -Crap Soybeans, Coastal Plain: Mineral soil, medium leachable
j Double -crop soybeans should be planted as early in June as possible with planting completed by July 4th
When no tilling soybeans in small grain straw, it is essential to manage the straw to achieve adequate plant
populations. Review the NCSU 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 2-4
seed/row foot for 7-8" drills; 4-6 seed/row foot for 15" rows; 6-8 seed/row foot for 30" rows and 8-10
seed/row foot for 36" rows. Increase the seeding rate by at least 10% for no -tiff planting. Seeding depth
should be 1-1 1/2" and adequate depth control is essential. Phosphorus and potash recommended for the
soybeans can be applied to the wheat in the Fall. Soybeans produce their own nitrogen and are normally
grown without additions of nitrogen. However, applications of 20-301bs/acre N are sometimes made at
planting to promote early growth and vigor. Tissue samples can be analyzed during the growing season to
monitor the overall nutrient status of the soybeans. Timely management of weeds and insects is essential
for profitable double crop soybean production.
The following crop note applies to field(s): 1, 1,2 hw, 2

The following crop note applies to fteld(s): 3,3A
Wheat: Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, medium leachable
In the Coastal Plain, wheat should be planted from October 20-November 25. Plant 22 seed/drill row foot
at 1-1 1/2" deep and increase the seeding rate by 5% for each week seeding is delayed beyond the optimum
time. See the seeding rates table for applicable seeding rate modifications in the current NCSU "Small
Grain Production Guide" . Also, increase the initial seeding rate by at least 10% when planting no -till.
Adequate depth control when planting the wheat is essential. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green
book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with the characteristics
needed for your area and conditions. Apply no more than 30 lbs/acre N at planting- Phosphorus and potash
recommended by a soil test report can also be applied at this time. The remaining N should be applied
during the months of February -March. The total N is dependent on the soil type. Plant samples can be
analyzed during the growing season to monitor the nutrient status of the wheat. Timely management of
diseases, insects and weeds are essential for profitable wheat production.

with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the
rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August
31. An application of 50 lbs/acre of Plant Available N (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and
October 30. An additional 50 lbs.acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If rye growth is
harvested on time and does not significantly shade the bermuda, PAN rates for the subsequent bermuda
crop are based on realistic yields of bermuda. A harvest is required prior to heading or April 7, which ever
comes first. This is necessary to minimize the potential for shading bermuda and reducing its yields.
ANNUAL RYEGRASS
Annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth.
The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short (less than 3 inches tall)

�-� and October 30. An additional 50 lbs. acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If additional PAN
? is applied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the bermuda must be reduced by a corresponding
amount. This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will reduce bermuda yields and
shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is required by heading or April 7, which ever
comes first to prevent shading of emerging bermuda during April -May period. To favor the production of
the bermuda, additional harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15
inches height.

National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit
Dear Benny Kennedy: -
The Division of Water Quality (Division) has been required by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
to develop a NPDES permit program for animal waste management systems. The Division has developed a
general NPDES permit similar to the state Non -Discharge General Permit that this facility is currently permitted
under. Pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statutes § 143-215.1, 40 Code of Federal
Regulations § 122.23, and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994, coverage under the General NPDES permit is required of all facilities that
have had a discharge of wastewater reaching Waters of the State.
According to our records your facility meets the requirements for an NPDES permit based on the discharge
criterion. Please sign and submit the enclosed NPDES Short Form B — Existing Facility. Please carefully follow
the instructions on the form.
Please submit the completed enclosed application within 60 days from receipt of this letter. Failure to submit the
application as required may subject your facility to a civil penalty and other enforcement actions for each day the
facility is operated following the due date of the application.
If you have any questions about the NPDES permit, the enclosed application, or any related matter please feel free
to contact me at [phone],

Dear Mr. Larick:
By way of this letter, I would like to request partial or total remissioV of the penalties lcvicd due to
the May infractions. I would like you to consider the following &c. as you make your
deternzination of the environmental impact of my infractions. I fee if the following factors are
considered the penalty could be waived or reduced
This incident occurred inadvertently as a result of land application vent, which resulted in the
ponding of waste and eventually run-off from the spray area Th reason for the infraction was a
faulty piece of irrigation piping that failed during this applicaiio event I was unaware that there
was a problem until Mr. Cobb pointed it out during a routine omplaint Inspection. I wascareful
in documenting the actions that took place just aftertbe p em was discovered and I wrote Mr.
Cobb the attached letter or 5/19/04 to describe my corrective actions.
Immediately following the routine complaint inspection on 5/17 I contained all run-off by digging a
large sump hole in the ditch in which the waste was flowing and pumped it back into spray field
Mr. Chester Cobb (he was still there) saw how quick I responded to the matter and prevented any
off -site impact. I had to hire a contractor to do all this (excess of $1000) However, I was still
assessed a heavy amount. In fact, my assessment accounted for 6% of all animal waste assessments
in 2004. I ask did my small family farm account for that much of the environmental impact over all
the facilities in the whole State of NC? I did not make an outlet to waters of the state as depicted in
my assessment package. This was a standard field diversion that let to a ditch. The way it reads,
it's as if I did this maliciously on purpose. I could use these monies for farm improvements to
reduce the possibility of "Environmental Impact", if the process would allow for it. Please take
these facts into consideration before you take monies away that will prevent future improvements.

Dear Mr. Cobb,
This memo is to address the complaint inspection that occurred on 5/17/04 and resulted in a
Notice of Violation for my farm (FN 31-349). I wanted to document the corrective actions that
have been taken as requested by DWQ.
1. We immediately had small grain removed from small Bermuda field so inspector could
investigate the field where the runoff was occurring. My contractor wanted to harvest
this small grain for seed, but I am now aware now that this does not coincide with my
waste management plan.
2. We immediately bermed and contained the waste water before it left my property and
pumped waste back into waste structure. As of 5/19/04 we were still pumping the sump
area as needed.
3. We removed dead animal carcass from lagoon.
4. We disked and seeded lagoon in an effort to establish vegetation. However, it has not
come up and we speculate it is because it needs fertilizer and water. Would like to set up
a sprinkler head from lagoon and wet on occasion until grass is established.
5. Made attempt to contact OIC friend to immediately register someone as an OIC of my
farm. We have also contacted Duplin Extension for first classes and test for animal
waste operator. We are aware that we must stay on top of this situation.
6. Rubber gasket will be repaired on irrigation system ASAP.
I hope this addresses the violations noted on my farm.
With Kind Regards,
Benny Kennedy

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

FINDINGS AND DECISION
AND ASSESSMENT OF
CIVIL PENALTIES
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,1, Theodore L. Bush, Jr.,
Chief of the Aquifer Protection Section of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ), make the
following:
FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. Benny Kennedy owns and operates the New Ground Farm, a swine animal operation
located north of Beulaville, NC along SR 1735 in Duplin County-
B. Benny Kennedy was issued Certificate of Coverage AWS310349 under Swine Waste
General Permit AWG100000 on May 1, 2003 for the operation of an animal waste
collection, treatment, storage, and application system. This permit does not allow the
discharge of waste to waters of the State.
C. On May 17, 2004, DWQ staff inspected the New Ground Farm as a follow up to a
complaint received on April 20, 2004. During the inspection, the DWQ staff
observed waste ponding in a Bermuda spray field and waste in a field ditch adjoining
the spray field. The field ditch drained into an unnamed tributary to Gum Swamp.
Gum Swamp is Class C Sw waters of the State within the Cape Fear River Basin.
D. Benny Kennedy had no valid permit for the above -described activity.
E. Condition H. 1 of General Permit AWGI00000 states, "The collection, treatment, and
storage facilities, and the land application equipment and fields shall be properly
operated and maintained at all times and properly operated."
F. During the inspection on May 17, 2004, DWQ staff observed where plastic material
was being used instead of a rubber gasket to form a seal at a hydrant.

G. Condition No. V. 2. of General Permit AWG100000 states, "The Permittee shall
.designate a certified animal waste management operator to be in charge (OIC) of the
animal waste management system. The animal waste management system shall be
operated by the OIC or a person under the OTC's supervision."
H. During the inspection on May 17, 2004, DWQ staff learned that there was no.
certified operator in charge for the New Ground Farm.
I. Condition No. I. 2. of the General Permit states in part, "Any violation of the
CAWMP shall be considered a violation of this general permit and subject to
enforcement actions." The CAWMP for the New Ground Farm requires a harvest of
the small grain in the Bermuda field prior to heading or April 7, whichever comes
first.
J. During the inspection on May 17, 2004, DWQ staff observed small grains still
present in the Bermuda fields.
K. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $917.32.
Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following:
II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW:
A. Benny Kennedy, is a "person" within the meaning of G.S. 143-215.6A pursuant to
G.S. 143-212(4).
B. The unnamed tributary to Gum Swamp constitutes waters of the State within the
meaning of G.S. 143-215.1 pursuant to G.S. 143-212(6).
C. The above -cited discharge constitutes making an outlet into waters of the State for
purposes of G.S. 143-215(a)(1), for which a permit is required by G.S. 143-215.1.
D. Benny Kennedy may be assessed civil penalties in this matter pursuant to G.S. 143-
215.6A(a)(2), which 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.
E. Benny Kennedy violated Condition No. 11, 1. of General Permit AWG100000 by
failing to maintain the land application equipment.
F. Benny Kennedy violated Condition No. V. 2. of General Permit AWG100000 by
failing to have a certified operator in charge for the New Ground Farm.

G. Benny Kennedy violated Condition No. 1. 1 of General Permit AWG100000 by
failing to harvest the small grain from the Bermuda field as specified in the
CAWMP.
H. Benny Kennedy may be assessed civil penalties in this matter pursuant to G.S. 143-
215.6A(a)(2), which 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
fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of a permit
required by G.S. 143-215.1.
The State's enforcement costs in this matter may be assessed against Benny Kennedy,
pursuant to G.S. 143-215.3(a)(9) and G.S. 143B-282.1(b)(8).
J. The Chief of the Aquifer Protection 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.
Based upon the above Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, I make the following:
III. DECISION:
Accordingly, Benny Kennedy is hereby assessed a civil penalty of:
$ 3 , 0 e 0, Ot7 for making an outlet to the waters of the State without a

2. Submit a written request for remission including a detailed ,justification for such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed
below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred
or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment
document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a
request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a
stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed
statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to
the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In determining whether a remission
request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b)
were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the violator;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator has been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted
in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your
evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response
will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further
appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil
Penalty Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider
information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director.
Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of
your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Request for
Remission of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of
Facts" form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also
requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both
forms should be submitted to the following address:

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,1, Theodore L. Bush, Jr.,
Chief of the Aquifer Protection Section of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ), make the
following:
FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. Benny Kennedy owns and operates the New Ground Farm, a swine animal operation
located north of BeuIaville, NC along SR 1735 in Duplin County.
B. Benny Kennedy was issued Certificate of Coverage AWS310349 under Swine Waste
General Permit AWG100000 on May 1, 2003 for the operation of an animal waste
collection, treatment, storage, and application system. This permit does not allow the
discharge of waste to waters of the State.
C. On May 17, 2004, DWQ staff inspected the New Ground Farm as a follow up to a
complaint received on April 20, 2004. During the inspection, the DWQ staff
observed waste ponding in a Bermuda spray field and waste in a field ditch adjoining
the spray field. The field ditch drained into an unnamed tributary to Gum Swamp.
Gum Swamp is Class C Sw waters of the State within the Cape Fear River Basin.
D. Benny Kennedy had no valid permit for the above -described activity.
E. Condition U. I of General Permit AWG100000 states, "The collection, treatment, and
storage facilities, and the land application equipment and fields shall be properly
operated and maintained at all times and properly operated."

certified operator in charge for the New Ground Faun.
I. Condition No. I. 2. of the General Permit states in part, "Any violation of the
CAWMP shall be considered a violation of this general permit and subject to
enforcement actions." The CAWMP for the New Ground Farm requires a harvest of
the small grain in the bermuda field prior to heading or April 7, whichever comes
first.
J. During the inspection on May 17, 2004, DWQ staff observed small grains still
present in the Bermuda fields.
K. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $917.32_
Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following:

C. The above -cited discharge constitutes making an outlet into waters of the State for
purposes of G.S. 143-215(a)(1), for which a permit is required by G.S. 143-215.1.

Mr. Chester Cobb from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality had
been trying to meet with Mr. Benny Kennedy concerning a complaint received on April 20, 2004.
The complaint was about waste drift onto a person's car while driving along SR 1735 by the farm
on April 19, 2004. Mr. Cobb drove by the farm on April 21, 2004 and inspected the road and
ditches. No evidence of a waste discharge or waste on SR 1735 by the farm was observed.
Because the owner was often not at home, Mr. Cobb had been in contact with Mr. Geno Kennedy
about arranging a visit with the owner in order to discuss the complaint. Mr. Geno Kennedy
manages the required animal waste management records for this farm. The meeting was
arranged for May 17, 2004.
On May 17, 2004, Mr. Cobb met with Mr. Benny Kennedy and Mr. Geno Kennedy concerning
the complaint. During the visit, an inspection of the farm was conducted. When Mr. Cobb
inspected the small Bermuda field to the north of the hog houses, he observed animal waste
ponding in the field (see Photos 6 and 7). Mr. Cobb also observed where animal waste had run
off this field and discharged into an unnamed tributary to Gum Swamp (see Figure 2 and Photos
8 — 14). The discharge appeared to have originated from the waste being applied at sprinkler
location #1 and an improperly managed hydrant connection (see Photos 1, 2, 3, and 6). The
hydrant connection shown in Photo 2 was the hydrant that sprinkler # 1 was connected to. Along
with the discharge, Mr. Cobb also noted that there was no certified operator in charge of the
waste management system for this farm and that the receiving crop was not being managed as
specified in the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). The small grain crop was
still present in the Bermuda sprayfields (see Photos 1 and 18). The CAWMP for this farm states
that for small grain overseeded onto the Bermuda sprayfield a harvest of the small grain is
required prior to heading or April 7, which ever comes first.
Follow up visits were conducted on May 18 and 19. On May 19, a water sample was pulled from
the ponded area in the field because ponded waste 1 water was still observed two days after the
discovery of the discharge.

Farm and/or Company Compliance History: Include a copy of CAFO Designation letters,
previous NOV's, NOD's previous civil assessments, etc.
July 14, 1997 Notice of Deficiency issued for not applying waste at agronomic
rates and wrong crop in field.
April 30, 1999 Notice of Violation issued for animal waste runoff into roadside
ditch. There was no assessment for discharge because farm was
destroyed by tornado shortly thereafter.
October 10, 2001 Notice of Violation issued for cover crop needing improvement.
Amount of Waste Discharge (if applicable). If amount cannot be estimated, what is the rate
of flow reaching surface water.
The discharge was estimated to be around 900 gallons.
Sample Results (If applicable) with locations of samples taken noted in relation to the
discharge point:
The approximate location of all water samples is shown in Figure 2. Sample FRI was taken as
waste entered the field ditch (see Photo 8). Sample UPS 1 was taken approximately 50 feet up
above where field ditch drained into the unnamed tributary to Gum Swamp (see Photo 11).
Sample DS 1 was taken approximately 20 feet downstream of where waste had entered the
unnamed tributary (see Photo 12). Sample DS2 was taken about 200 feet downstream of sample
location DS 1 (see Photo 13). Sample DS3 was taken as the unnamed tributary went under SR
1735 (see Photo 15).
On May 19, 2004, a sample was taken of the ponding in the field as shown in Photos 6 and 7.
Sample Results: May 17, 2004

Violator's degree of cooperation fincluding efforts torevent or restore recalcitrance:
Mr. Benny Kennedy, the farm owner, did pump the waste / water that he could back into the
lagoon when asked (see Photos 19 and 20).
_Fish kill observed? YIN If yes, include report from WRC:
No fish kill observed at time of inspection.
Mitigating Circumstances:
No known mitigating circumstances known at time of inspection.
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 ofpermit or plan.
Assessment Factors required to be considered by G.S. 143B-282.1(b):
1. The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public
health, or to private property resulting from violation:
The discharge of animal waste was documented by elevated levels of fecal coliforms and
nutrients (see Sample Results) into an unnamed tributary to Gum Swamp. Neither public
health problems nor damage to private property were documented.
2. The duration and gravity of the violation:
The duration and gravity ofthe discharge is not known. Base on the water samples, it
appears that waste had made it to SR 1735. Given the condition of the field (see Photos 4, 5,
and 6) and the lack of maintenance of the irrigation system (see Photos 2 and 3), the
management of the waste system is suspect. Also, the irrigation system was being operated
by a hired hand without supervision of a certified animal waste operator.
3. The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality:
The effect on surface water quality is documented under the Sample Results section. The
effects on ground water and air quality were not measured and are therefore unknown.

4. The cost of rectifying the damage:
The cost of rectifying the damage is unknown. The owner did pump waste and water out of
the unnamed tributary back into the lagoon.
5. The amount of money saved by noncompliance:
Roughly, the amount of money saved would be the cost of having someone trained to be the
certified operator and the cost of maintaining the irrigation equipment such as replacing the
rubber gasket in the cam -lock connection.
6. Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally:
The writer does not believe that the violation was committed willfully or intentionally.
However based on the general appearance of this farm (see photos), the waste system for this
farm has not been properly maintained.
7. The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority:
Notice of Deficiency was issued on July 14, 1997 for not applying waste at agronomic.rates
and wrong crop in field.
Notice of Violation was issued on April 30, 1999 for animal waste runoff into roadside ditch.
There was no assessment for the discharge because farm was destroyed by tornado shortly
thereafter.
Notice of Violation was issued on October 10, 2001 for cover crop needing improvement.
S. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures:
The State's enforcement costs
totaled $521.91, as follows:.

Wilmington, NC 28405
Dear Mr. Cobb,
This memo is to address the complaint inspection that occurred on 5/17/04 and resulted in a
Notice of Violation for my farm (FN 31-349). 1 wanted to document the corrective actions that
have been taken as requested by DWQ.
1. We immediately had small grain removed from small Bermuda field so inspector could
investigate the field where the runoff was occurring. My contractor wanted to harvest
this small grain for seed, but I am now aware now that this does not coincide with my
waste management plan.
2. We immediately bermed and contained the waste water before it left my property and
pumped waste back into waste structure. As of 5/19/04 we were still pumping the sump
area as needed.
3. We removed dead animal carcass from lagoon.
4. We disked and seeded lagoon in an effort to establish vegetation. However, it has not
come up and we speculate it is because it needs fertilizer and water. Would like to set up
a sprinkler head from lagoon and wet on occasion until grass is established.
5. Made attempt to contact OIC friend to immediately register someone as an OIC of my
farm. We have also contacted Duplin Extension for first classes and test for animal
waste operator. We are aware that we must stay on top of this situation.
6. Rubber gasket will be repaired on irrigation system ASAP.
I hope this addresses the violations noted on my farm.
With Kind Regards
Benny Kennedy

T1ic Waste Utilization table showy below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation.' This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of cropland
needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper
timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or other
by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to
supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included.
A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the
manure generated by the operation. Animal operations that generate liquid waste and utilize waste storage facilities (lagoons or holding ponds) may apply more or
less waste in any given year than is annually generated by the facility. In order to determine • whether the plan adequately utilizes the waste produced by the facility,
the storage capacity table included in this plan should be reviewed to ensure that the design capacity of the storage facility is not exceeded during the planning period.
Depending on the requirements of the crop and the nutrient content of the waste, some nutrients will likely be over or under applied if animal waste is being utilized.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are required if animal waste is being applied. Soil tests should be used to balance the
nutrient application amounts with the realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Nutrient management plans may require that the application of animal waste be limited
so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field.

ADDENDUM TO WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN:
FACILITY NUMBER 31-349
FARM NAME: NEW GROUND FARM
OWNER NAME: BENNY KENNEDY
DESIGN CAPACITY: 2448 FEEDER TO FINISH
THIS PLAN 1S A REVISION OF THE 12/9/98 PLAN COMPLETED BY RONNIE G. KENNEDY JR
OF AGRIMENT SERVICES INC. THIS PLAN DEPICTS THE WETTABLE ACRES ON THE FARM
AND DISPLAYS THE SAME IN THE CALCULATION TABLES.
NOTE THIS PLAN WILL NOT BECOME EFFECTIVE UNTIL OCT 1, 2001. FIELD 4 WILL BE
CONVERTING FROM CROPLAND TO HAYLAND THE FIRST AVAILABLE DATES FOR THIS
WILL BE SPRING OF 2002 UNLESS A LATE HARVEST FOR THE LAST CROP
OCCURS.(REGULATORS SHOULD TAKE NOTE)
IT IS PERMISSABLE FOR OTHER WINTER ANNUAL CROPS TO BE PLANTED IN PLACE OF
TYPICAL WHEAT SUCH AS RYE GRASS, RYE GRAIN, BARLEY AND OATS.
FIELDS DENOTED WITH HW ARE TO BE UTILIZED BY HONEYWAGON (HONEYWAGON
CERTIFICATION FORM ENCLOSED). FIELD 4 IS COMPUTED IN THE TABLES TO BE
WETTED WITH THE EXISTING HARD HOSE TRAVELER SYSTEM, HOWEVER, IT IS MORE
PRACTICAL, WITH DITCHES PRESENT AND HIGH MGT. AREAS IN THE WAY OF THE
TEMPORARY PIPE, TO IRRIGATE WITH HONEY WAGON.
DUE TO THE DEFICIT NOTED IN THIS WUP MR. KENNEDY HAS THE FLEXIBILITY TO
PLANT 3 ACRES OF TOBACCO EVERY OTHER YEAR IN THE AREA DEPICTED ON THE MAP
AS FIELD 3, 3A. DURING THE YEARS TOBACCO IS UTILIZED NO CORN OR SOYBEANS
WILL BE PLANTED IN THIS AREA DUE TO CROP PLANTING OVERLAP; HOWEVER, A
WINTER ANNUAL WILL BE UTILIZED EACH YEAR REGARDLESS.
NO WASTE SHOULD BE APPLIED TO A CROP THAT DOES NOT HAVE A REALISTIC YIELD
FOR THE USAGE OF IRRIGATED SWINE WASTE, EXCEPT FOR PREPLANT. ALL FIELDS
MUST MEET MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS WHEN USED. MR.
KENNEDY PLANS TO APPLY SWINE WASTE INACCORDANCE WITH HIS SPECIFIC WASTE
ANALYSIS NOT TO EXCEED THE HYDRAULIC LOADING OF THE SOILS.

Dear Mr. Cobb,
This memo is to address the complaint inspection that occurred on 5/17/04 and resulted in a
Notice of Violation for my farm (FN 31-349). 1 wanted to document the corrective actions that
have been taken as requested by DWQ.
1. We immediately had small grain removed from small Bermuda field so inspector could
investigate the field where the runoff was occurring. My contractor wanted to harvest
this small grain for seed, but I am now aware now that this does not coincide with my
waste management plan.
2. We immediately bermed and contained the waste water before it left my property and
pumped waste back into waste structure. As of 5/19/04 we were still pumping the sump
area as needed.
3. We removed dead animal carcass from lagoon.
4. We disked and seeded lagoon in an effort to establish vegetation. However, it has not
come up and we speculate it is because it needs fertilizer and water. Would like to set up
a sprinkler head from lagoon and wet on occasion until grass is established.
5. Made attempt to contact OIC friend to immediately register someone as an OIC of my
farm. We have also contacted Duplin Extension for first classes and test for animal
waste operator. We are aware that we must stay on top of this situation.
6. Rubber gasket ,,A ill be repaired on irrigation system ASAP.
I hope this addresses the violations noted on my farm.
With Kind Regards

Subject: Notice of Violation and Recommendation for
Enforcement
New Ground Farm -
Facility Number 31-349
Duplin County
Dear Mr. Kennedy.
This is to notify you of violations to North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and to Swine
Waste Operation General Permit AWG100000 issued on May 1, 2003 under Certificate of
Coverage AWS310349.
On May 17, 2004, Mr. Chester Cobb from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality inspected the farm because of a complaint of waste drift received on April 20,
2004_ During the inspection, Mr. Cobb noted several violations.
From the inspection, the following violations were documented:
1) Discharge of animal waste into Waters of the State
On May 17, 2004, Mr. Cobb observed where animal waste had left the small Bermuda
field and discharged into an unnamed tributary to Gum Swamp. Gum Swamp is
classified as class C Swamp waters of the State within the Cape Fear River basin. The
discharge was estimated to be around 900 gallons.
This is in violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 that states that no
person shall make an outlet into the waters of the State without having obtained and
abided by the appropriate permit. This is also a violation Condition I. 1 of the General
Permit that states in part that "The animal waste collection, treatment, storage and
application system permitted under this permit shall be effectively maintained and
operated as a non -discharge system to prevent the discharge of pollutants to surface
waters, wetlands, or ditches_

Mr. Benny Kennedy
New Ground Farm
238 Kennedy Lane
Pink Hill, NC 28572
Subject: Notice of Violation and Recommendation for
Enforcement
New Ground Farm
Facility Number: 31-349
Duplin County
Dear Mr. Kennedy:
This is to notify you of violations to North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and to Swine
Waste Operation General Permit AWG100000 issued on May 1, 2003 under Certificate of
Coverage AWS310349.
On May 17, 2004, Mr. Chester Cobb from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality inspected the farm because of a complaint of waste drift received on April 20,
2004. During the inspection, Mr. Cobb noted several violations.
From the inspection, the following violations were documented:
1) Discharge of animal waste into Waters of the State
On May 17, 2004, Mr. Cobb observed where animal waste had left the small Bermuda
field and discharged into an unnamed tributary to Gum Swamp. Gum Swamp is
classified as class C Swamp waters of the State within the Cape Fear River basin. The
discharge was estimated to be around 900 gallons.
This is in violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 that states that no
person shall make an outlet into the waters of the State without having obtained and
abided by the appropriate permit. This is also a violation Condition I. 1 of the General
Permit that states in part that "The animal waste collection, treatment, storage and
application system permitted under this permit shall be effectively maintained and
operated as a non -discharge system to prevent the discharge of pollutants to surface
waters, wetlands, or ditches.

Mr. Kennedy
Page 2 of 3
June 24, 2004
2) Waste ponding and runoff
The discharge of animal waste observed on May 17, 2004 was in part due to runoff of
waste from the land application field. Owner stated that waste had been applied earlier
that day. At time of inspection, the field was still saturated around one of the sprinklers
and waste was ponding near the field ditch.
This is in violation of Condition II.4 of the General Permit that states in part that "In no
case shall land application rates exceed the Plant Available Nitrogen rate for the
receiving crop or result in runoff during any given application."
3) Failure to maintain land application equipment
During the inspection, a piece of plastic was observed within a cam connection that
allows the sprinkler to be attached to a hydrant. Also, no rubber washer was observed
within the connection. Without the rubber washer, the cam connection does not seal
properly and will leak waste when pressurized. This also probably contributed to the
discharge.
This is in violation of Condition- II. 1 of the General Permit.that states, "The collection,
treatment, and storage facilities, and the land application equipment and fields shall be
maintained at all times and properly operated."
4) Failure to follow Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP)
On May 17, 2004, the small grain crop was still on the Bermuda fields. The Crop Notes
within the CAWMP serving this facility states in part for the cereal/annual rye overseed "
that "A harvest is required prior to heading or April 7, which ever comes first."
This is in violation of Condition 1. 2 of the General Permit that states in part "Any violation
of the CAWMP shall be considered a violation of this permit and subject to enforcement
actions."
5) Failure to have an active certified operator
At time of inspection, there was no certified operator in charge designated for this facility.
This is in violation of Condition V. 2 of the General Permit that states, "The Permittee
shall designate a certified animal waste management system operator to be in charge
(OIC) of the animal waste management system. The animal waste management system
shall be operated by the OIC or a person under the OIC's supervision."
fi) Failure to maintain vegetative cover on lagoon walls
At time of inspection, areas of the lagoon wall lacked a vegetative cover.
This is in violation of Condition II. 10 of the General Permit that states in part that "A
protective cover shall be established and maintained on all lagoon/storage pond
embankments (outside toe of embankment to maximum pumping elevation), berms, pipe
runs, and surface water diversions."

Facility Number 31-349
Duplin County
Dear Benny Kennedy:
A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal
Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only
the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any
acreage within the plan that can not be reached'by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your
plan.
An evaluation by Patrick Fussell on 10/14/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your
facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of
the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X".
Category I:
❑ The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please
contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Patrick Fussell the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to Patrick Fussell, at 127 Cardinal Drive
Extension, Wilmington, NC 28405-3845, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you
have any questions please contact Patrick Fussell at [phone]. If within 90 days
you are unable to provide Patrick Fussell with the information you are automatically
required to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2
below, within 180 days of receipt of this letter.

Category 2:
�[ Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal
waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates
set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him
or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must
be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct
Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension
Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special
designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this
designation, or a Professional Engineer.
All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and
the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWO within the next
180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the
required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility
into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation,
and/or injunctive relief.
Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable
Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please
note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all
the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan
must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will
review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by
kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install
or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer
must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Sonya Avant of our

Dear Mr. Hunkele,
This memo is to address the compliance inspection that occurred on 10/10/01 and resulted in a Notice of
Violation for my farm (fN 31-3497
On 10/19/01 a meeting was conducted between me, Daryl Futral ( farm manager), E.R. Kennedy
(cropland manager), and R.G. Kennedy (consultant). I put this group together, in order to assure the crop
deficiencies are completed in the most expeditious manner. We decided, since no waste has been applied
to the field the following sequence of events to occur. Burn the field, lime the field, straight disc, and re -
sprig with Coastal Bermuda in the Spring. In addition we have to sprig field 4 to Coastal in order to
satisfy the Wettable Acre Plan that has been completed for my farm.
I hope this addresses the violations noted on my farm.

Dear Mr. Kennedy:
This is to notify Mr. Benny Kennedy, who holds a non -discharge permit for an animal waste disposal
system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0200 and North Carolina G.S.143.215.1, of a violation with Animal Waste
Permit AWS 310349.
On October 10, 2001, Mr. Dean Hunkele from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of
Water On
inspected your animal operation and the animal waste management system serving this
operation. The following violations were noted during the inspection:
Cover Crop Needs Improvement
During the inspection it was observed that some of your cover crops need improvement. Specifically, the
largest bermuda held contains little to no bermuda and was severely overgrown. In its current vegetative
condition, this field is unacceptable as an irrigation site for waste application. The poor condition of this field
has been questioned repeatedly overthe years and most recently in July 2000. Even if this field is not used
very often, it must be maintained in a suitable condition. This is a violation of the General Permit under Part
2. Operation & Maintenance Requirements; Section 2.
For all crops, especially grassed pastures or hay fields, soil pH must be maintained for the proper health of
the crop and uptake of nutrients from application. Lime must be applied according to the rate indicated on
your annual soil analysis when the amount is equal to or greater than 1.0 ton/acre. In no instance, should
more than 1.5 tons/acre be applied during any year. it takes approximately 4-6 months for lime.to work
throughoutthe root zone; thus lime should be applied at the appropriate time for it to be available to the next
primary summer crop cycle.

Grassed fields must be harvested to avoid disease, control weed growth, and remove applied nutrients.
Bermuda fields should be cut for hay at a height of 16-20 inches and soil pH maintained at 6-6.5. Herbicide
may need to be applied periodically for control of broadleaf weeds orvolunteer grasses. Grassed fields may
need to be re -sprigged or re -seeded periodically in areas to maintain an adequate cover.
Furthermore, your facility was sent a letter in April 2001 requiring that a Wetted Acres
Determination be completed within 6 months. This includes any modifications needed including the
installation of additional irrigation equipment, incorporation of new fields, changes in cropping system, etc.
This Determination, needs to be completed as soon as possible such that the appropriate decisions can be
made about cover crops for this facility. If the bermuda field is to be replaced and/or additional acreage is
to be converted to bermuda, then the fields should be appropriately limed and sprigged by the end of April
2002.
To correct this violation, please submit a detailed Plan of Action to the Wilmington Regional Office
of the Division of Water Quality that describes the actions to be taken to address this violation of Animal
Waste Permit AWS 310349.
The proposed written plan of action must be received by this office within fifteen (15) working days
of the receipt of this notice. Upon approval and implementation of the Dian, you must notify this office when
the corrective actions are complete. Contact your Service Company, county Soil & Water district office, or
county extension office for any assistance they may be able to provide.
If the violations are not corrected, the Division of Water Quality may pursue additional avenues to
achieve compliance including civil penalties, injunctive relief, or permit revocation.
If you have any questions concerning this matter please do not hesitate to contact either Mr. Dean
Hunkele or Mr. Stonewall Mathis, of our Wilmington Regional Office at [phone] or Mr. Steve Lewis

This memo is to address the 2000 annual inspection that was conducted for Benny
Kennedy on 7112/00 he had one facility (FN 31-349).
Farm 31-349 had several deficiencies:
1. Non-bermuda vegetation in spray field. (NOD)
2. No floatation device on pump intake. (NOD)
3. Need a recent waste analysis. (NOD)
Non-bermuda vegetation will be addressed by spraying a proper herbicide to control
weeds. However, it is nearing the end of the Bermuda season so these items may
be more appropriately addressed at the beginning of the next growing season for
Bermuda.
A flotation device will be installed at the pump intake as soon as weather permits.
An analysis dated 7/18/00 is enclosed for your review.
I hope this information will address the Notice of Deficiency(s) that were noted, If you
have any questions please feel free to call.

Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 31-349
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. IRR1, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLDI, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the

Mr. Dean Hunkele
Division of Water Quality
127 Cardinal Drive Ext.
Wilmington, NC 2M5
Dear Mr. Hunkele,
This memo is to address the complaint inspection that occurred on 3/17/99 and resulted in a Notice of
Violation for my farm (FN 31-349).
As a result of an application event to pull 5 field 3 onto winter annuals, there was a malfuntion to my
hard -hose traveler resulting in a release of waste. The traveler gun jammed into the cart and locked into a
position that directed waste to the road and along the roadside ditches.
At first notice of the malfimctioa#the pump was immediately shut down to prevent further discharge.
State DWQ Officials were on -site immediatedfter the discharge before emergency action plan protocal
could be carried out. The ditch where liquid waste ponded, was graded and drained to a collection basin
and dipped manually back into the lagoon the night of the discharge. Follow-up inspections by DWQ will
verify this fact.
On 3/22I99, a meeting was held on -site to assess potential irrigation equipment problems leading to the
discharge and to take preventive measures so this scenario does not happen again. Craig Westerbeek, a
Certified Irrigation Specialist/Designer, was present to offer expertise in this area. In addition, Dean
Hunkele, Brian Wrenn, Ronnie G. Kennedy Jr., were present to offer technical assistance to me. It was
determined that problems with the traveler caused the discharge and the inspectors were assured that no
applications would take place until a new reel was purchased or the damaged one upgraded to operational
status. A call and visit was immediately made to and by Gary Scalf, Certified Irrigation
Designer/Installer, to assess the damage and make necessary repairs. There has been no application of
waste since the incident occurred.
On 4/15/99, I was abruptly removed from animal production as a tornado completely destroyed my
facility. As a result, I have had no animals or production of waste since the tornado. There is a lot of work
to be completed if and when normal operation resumes on my facility. This will allocate the necessary
time to address all issues related to this incident. The lagoon will continue to be maintained in accordance
with DWQ standards. 1 would ask that the Division please take in account the equipment malfuntion that
led to the discharge and also my current status as a swine producer when reviewing this case.
With Kind Regards,
d==y
Owner

Owner/Manager Agreement
I(we) verify that all the above information is correct and will be updated upon changing. I (we) understand the operation and maintenance
procedures established in the approved animal waste management plan for the farm named above and will implement these procedures. I (we)
know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and storage system or construction of new facilities will require a
new certification to be submitted to the Division of Environmental Management before the new animals are stocked. 1 (we) understand that there
must be no discharge of animal waste from the storage or application system to surface waters of the state. either directly through a man-made
conveyance or from a storm event less severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm and there must not be rurt-0ff from the application of animal

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

and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

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

overseeding.

facility will produce approximately 905.76 pounds of plant
available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the sludge that will need to be
removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting
the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well
special equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge.

See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
waste water.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of
the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs.
This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure,
soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application
amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the
soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen
applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage
and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every
6 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in
your structure be within 1.7 feet of the top of the dike.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure
that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report
for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper
application rate prior to applying the waste. 1

Plans and Specifications
I. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff,
drift, manmade conveyances, direct application,.or direct discharge
during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which
reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject
to 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 has owns or has long term access to adequate
land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own
adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS
with a copy of a written agreement with a landowner who is within
a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for
waste application for the life expectancy of the production
facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility
to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is
a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals,
method of utilization, or available land.
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).
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 North Carolina" in
the NRCS Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil
infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or
to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No ponding should occur
in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies
and to provide uniformity of application.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in
such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf
area is covered.

WASTE UTILIZATION PL'
10. Waste nutrients snall not be applied in fall or winter for
spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for'
leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils
should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover
crop planted to take up released nutrients. waste shall
not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a
crop on bare soil.
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to
surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that
are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips
are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of
dwellings other than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other
property and public right -of ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface wasters,
drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying.
Animal wastemay be applied to prior converted wetlands
provided they have been approved as a land application site
by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be
applied on grassed waterways that discharge into water
courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the
application causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities,
showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into
the animal waste management system.
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures
must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate
storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to
one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be
established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments,
berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed,.special vegetation
shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as
necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as
trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to
areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be
kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures
should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage
or discharge.
19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or
terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and imple-
menting a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility
of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should
be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks,
and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept
on site.

System Calibration
Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation
conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates
change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular,
pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use,
nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the
discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter.
You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the
design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the
application uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure
results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the
sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged
intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating
below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application
uniformity.
For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to
ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every
three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at
several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to
collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because
they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount
without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets,
jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used providea
the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring.
For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly
throughout the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling
guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction of
pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both sides of
the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for all
nonuniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers
of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation
dealer or technical specialist for assistance.

System Calibration
Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation
conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates
change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular,
pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use,
nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the
discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter.
You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the
design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the
application uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure
results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the
sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged
intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating
below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application
uniformity.
For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to
ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every
three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flo�,v at
several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to
collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because
they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount
without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets,
jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used provided
the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring .
For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly
throughout the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling
guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction
of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both
sides of the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for ail
nonuniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers
of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation
dealer or technical specialist for assistance.

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 waters or leave your property to consider that you have a
problem. You should make every effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan
should be available to all employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and breaks could
happen at any time. Your plan should follow this format:
Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or
may not be possible. Suggested responses to problems are listed below:
a. Lagoon overflow --possible solutions are:
add soil to berm to temporarily increase elevation of dam —any
permanent alteration of the dam should be approved by a
qualified technical specialist
pump wastes to field at an acceptable rate
stop all additional flow to the lagoon {waterers} --hold waste in
house if possible
call a pumping contractor
make sure no surface water is entering lagoon
NOTE: These activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the
temporary storage level.
b. Runoff from waste application field —actions include:
immediately stop waste application
create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on
the field
incorporate waste to reduce further runoff
C. Leakage from the waste distribution system:
pipes and sprinklers —actions include:
— stop recycle (flushing system) pump
stop irrigation pump
-� close valves to eliminate further discharge
separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
flush system, houses, solids separators —actions include:
— stop recycle (flushing system) pump
stop irrigation pump
— make sure no siphon effect has been created
separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
d. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often these are seepage as
opposed to flowing leaks —possible action*:
dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a
submersible pump, and pump back into lagoon
if holes are caused by burrowing animals,trap or remove
animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil
other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil
*Lagoon problems require the consultation of an individual
experienced in the design and installation of lagoons for permanent
repair measures.

2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a. Did the waste reach any surface waters?
b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration?
C. Any damage notes, such as employee injury,fish kills, or property
damage?
3. Contact appropriate agencies.
a. During normal business hours, call your DEM regional office, at
910-395-3900, after hours, emergency number: 919-733-3942.
Your phone call should include: your name, facility, telephone
number, the details of incident from item 2 above, the exact
location of the facility, and the location or
direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind
conditions, what corrective measures have been under taken,
and the seriousness of the situation.
b. If spill leaves, or is likely to leave, property or enters surface
waters, call local emergency management services (EMS) at 910-296-
2160.
C. Instruct EMS to contact local Health Department.
d. Contact local Soil and Water Conservation District
Natural Resources Conservation Service office at 910-296-2121,
and Cooperative Extension Service at 910-296-2143for
advice/technical assistance.
e. If you are a contract swine grower associated with a swine company
integrator, contact the company representative.
4. Implement procedures as advised by DEM and technical assistance
agencies to rectify the damage, repair the system, and reassess the
waste management plan to keep problems with release of wastes from
happening again.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority. It is especially
important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and
wet periods.
Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the
receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are
extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means
that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to
a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to
receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet
periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low
marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to
maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste
utilization plan will allow it.
Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to
irrigate does not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods.
Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of
state law and subject to penalty action.
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam.
Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative
covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to
maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be
based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain
a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas
should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or
equivalent.
Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be
done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of
these practices. This should be done at least once a year and
possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for
heavy vegetative growth.
NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter
the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating
the waste.
Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of
the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be
checked should include, as a minimum, the following:
Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes --look for:
1. separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4. overall condition of pipes

Lagoon surface —look for:
1. undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
Embankment —look for:
1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes
2. side slope stability —slumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam.
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the lagoon may be
used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. if your lagoon has
any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and
construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a threat
of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps —check for proper operation of:
1. recycling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding
noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or
replacement.
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you
are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your pumping
system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some
safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time
to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full,
your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare
parts or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry at/ surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets,
and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste
treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be
coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing
(washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly.
You should inspect your diversion system for the following:
1. adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3. ridge berm height

Identified problems should be. corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain. if technical assistance is needed to
determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the
lagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoon Operation
Startup:
Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before
waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the
end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial
filling or another means of slowing the'incoming water to avoid erosion of
the lining.
4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize
bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather).
5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon
liquid volume. This seeding should occour at least two weeks prior to the
addition of wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below
7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid
pH is between 7.5 and 8.0.
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate
biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended
if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm
season.
Loading:
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the
lagoon will function_ Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are
optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained
and recharged each day, also work well.

Management:
Practice water conservation —minimize building water usage and
spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through
proper maintenance and water conservation.
Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This
will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon
Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and
the full temporary storage level.
Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the
minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1).
Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on
nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage
will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly,
irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon
storage for the winter.
The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest
point of the dam or embankment.
Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage
level unless you are removing sludge.
Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid
surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible.
Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation,
molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon.
Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are installed.
Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges.
Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment.
Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is
full or before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume.
If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a
pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:

proper lagoon sizing,
mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
Hire a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller
pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland;
and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul
and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm
an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back
into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader
onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close
attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains
intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should
stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be
removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content
than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus
and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of
erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphores, it
should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other
wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution should be used to observe the %vied direction and other conditions which
could increase the concern of neighbors.

Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types
of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the
dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for
ensuring structure safety. Items which.may lead to lagoon failures include:
Modification of the lagoon structure —an example is the placement of a pipe
in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in
lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams.)
Lagoon liquid levels —high levels are a safety risk.
Failure to inspect and maintain the dam.
Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon.
Liner integrity ---protect from inlet pipe scouring, damage during sludge
removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater
table.
NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to -overtop the dam, the moving water will soon cause
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large discharge
of wastewater and possible dam failure.

Dear Mr. Joshi,
As requested, the narrative has been revised to conform with the memo enclosed in

Please replace the old narrative with new one, add memo; and replace the old page 3 of
the wup with the one enclosed.
I hope this additional information will address the additional items requested. If not feel
free to contact us and we will try to accommodate the Division.
With Kind Regards,
Ronnie G. Kennedy Jr.

Memorandum
TO: North Carolina Certified Technical Specialists
FROM: NC State University Forage Production Workgroup
DATE: July 13, 1998
SUBJECT: Crop Management Practices for Select Forages
Used in Waste Management
T1 e following is a four -page summary of suggestions for management practices for Born,
Forage crops that can be used to waste management plans. 'These Suggestions are a result of
discussions within the NC: State University Forage Production Workgroup, a group oornprisud
of NC State faculty and MRCS agency personnel with expertise with the crops.
"there are limited documented research responses of some of these practices on tha many soils
and environments where these crops are currently being grown. The Forage Production
Workgroup has taken the available data and used the combined experiences and realis is
estimates of key people to corm up with suggestions that will allow fanners to incorporate
these crops and practices into waste management plans. As dais become available to
substantiate or refute these suggestions, the Forage Production Workgroup will make
appropriate changes.
Bermuda Overreeded With Cereal Rye and Annual Ryegrass
Currently two types of 'Yyegrass" are being used for winner overseeding in fields used far
anirrial waste management. re is a winter annual smallgrain tha[ looks similar towheat, barley and oats. Ann l eras is a winter annual grass chat looks much like ta]I
fescue. Both of these grasses, when growing during the winter on bermuda sod, can have
significant impact on subsequent bermuda yields. In effect, the total yields from an acre
growing the combination of bermuda with these winter annuals will usually yield between 1-2
tons more per acre than bermuda growing alone for the year. Thrrcfore, the total amaUnt of
PAN /acre for the year is about 100 Ibs more than for bermuda alone. Although cereal rye and
annual ryegrass are su.itablre crops for overseeding, the rmnagement of Elie crops are different
and thus practices implemented are dependent on the crop selected.

The cerea.] rye should be plsrtted by October i5 to provide Lhc best opportunity tc DG: wi_nte;

application of 50 lbs/acre of Plant Available: N (PAN) imy be applied between September 15
and October 30. A,n additional 50 !bs/acre of PAN may be applied in February -Marcel. If rye
growth es harvested on time and does not sigrufiCWly shade the bermuda, PAN rates for Lhe
subsequent bermuda crop are based on realistic yields of bermuda. A harvest is required prior
to heading or April 7, which ever comes first. This is necessary to rr�nimize the potential for
shading bermoda and reducing its yields. The PAN rats; for grazed systems with bt~rmuda
oversecded with cereal rye must be reduced in accordance with MRCS Technical
Standard .590.
Annual Ryegrass
Annua] ryegrass should be planttd by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter
growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into shoe (less than 3
inches tall) berrnudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, Elie seeds may be broadcast on short
bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate
for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled.. seeds. The last
application of animal waste is to be applied to the: bermuda prior to August 31. An
application of 50 lbs/acre of (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30.
An additional 50 lbs/acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If additional PAN is
applied to the ryegrass in Apiril+May, the PAN rare for the bermuda must be reduced by a
corresponding amount. This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May AvilI
reduce bermuda -yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A barVeSE is
required by heading or April 7, which ever comes first to prevent shading of ernergim9
bermuda during April -May period, To favor the production of the bermuda, additional
harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height.
The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda oversecded with annual ryegrass must be
reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard #590.

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 fertiltzer required for the crops in the fields where waste
is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the z
limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application,
cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant `
`riutrients'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 moee'nitrogen than the crop can
utilize.: Soil types are_ important as they have different infiltration -
ra#es;leaching"potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available
water holding capacities.' Normally waste shall not be applied to land
eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre-R EE EI VED
cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tonMyfR Qt1ALrrySECTiOH
acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is
raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions WWI n 1"8 4
may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under dr v
regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwi--nd odor problems. To maximize the value of then Pbfttffng
for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the
waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground
not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
This plan"is'based on waste application through �irrigatiori For, this a
is the -manner in which you have ci�osen to apply your waste. If you
choose to inject the waste in the future, you need to revise this -
plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating waste are
not the same.• ..
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of•facility. Acreage require -
merits should be based on the waste analysis report from your was#e µ
•management'facil'ity: Atiached youwill find information an proper
sampling techniques; preparation, ari.a transfer'of waste samples to
the lab for analysis.

APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of
the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs.
This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure,
soil texture water droplet size, and organic solids. The application
amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the
soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen
applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop- -.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage
and the temporary`starage must be removed on the average of once every
6 months In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in
your structure be within '7 feet of the top of the dike. -

If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to
ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the
acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates
and amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid

1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff,
drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge
during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which
reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject
to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division
of Water Quality for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Local NRCS office must have documentation in the design folder that
the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land
to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own adequate
land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy
of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable
proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application
for the life expectancy of the production facility. -It is the
responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an updated 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 -shill 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-frlter strips v►rt!I be iri 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.
pro ne'to'flooding„'♦(See "Weatther and Climate in North Carolina" in
the NRCS Technics! Reference = Enrrt�onment file for guidance.
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infil-
tration rate such that runoff does not occur off -site or to surface
waters and in a method which does nat cause drift from the site during
application. No-ponding should occur in order to control conditions
conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application.
B. Animal _waste shall not be applied tosaturated soils, during rainfall
event; or when the surface is fr'aien:
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.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring
planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste
nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum
and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released
nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to
planting, of a crop on bare soil-
11 . Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface
water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial
provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present- (See standard
393 - Filter Strips)
12- Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings
other than those owned by the landowner.
14- Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and
putslic -right-af ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainage ways,
or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be
applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been
approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist".
Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge
into water courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the
application causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste -from wash down•facilities: showers,
toilets, sinks, etc:; sFiall not be discha>ged into the aniimal waste
management system.
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain
a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year.
24-hour storm event in addition to one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on
all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs. etc.).
If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and .
and shall be fenced, as necessary to protect the vegetation.
Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are
- limited to areas'where considered appropnate.•'Lagoori areas should be
_kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be
inspected regularly for evidence of erosion,.-leakag6-br discharge.
19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated,
the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure
plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge,
pollution and erosion.
20. Waste handling structures, piping. 'pumps, reels, etc., should be
inspected on -a regular basis to prevent breakdo I ns,leaks, and spills.
A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on -site.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
21. 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.
22. 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.
21 Waste shall be tested within sixty days of ublization and soil shall
be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are
applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc
and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop
sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH
and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry
waste application records shall be maintained for three years. Waste
application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five
years.
24. D-ad animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North
Carolina State regulations or other States' regulations.

Subject: Notice of Violation
New Ground Farm
Farm Number: 31-349
Duplin
Dear Mr. Kennedy:
This is to notify Mr. Benny Kennedy, who holds a nondischarge permit for an animal waste
disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0217 and G.S 143.215.1, of violations of Animal
Waste Permit AWS310349.
On March 17, 1999, in response to a complaint, Mr. Dean Hunkele and Mr. Brian Wrenn
from the Division of Water Quality's Wilmington Regional Office inspected your animal operation
and the lagoon serving the facility. It was discovered that animal waste had been applied onto SR
1735 and into the roadside right-of-way ditches. This had occurred during a normal application
event onto field 3 adjacent to SR 1735 earlier that day. Animal waste was discharging through a
right-of-way ditch into an unnamed tributary of Gum Branch which is Class "C Swamp" Waters of
the State in the Northeast Cape Fear River Basin. -
This is a violation of Part 1. Performance Standards, Section 1 of AWS310349 which
prohibits the discharge of waste from the animal waste management system. The incident also
violates Part II.Operation and Maintenance Requirements, Section I of AWS310349 which requires
proper maintenance and operation of the animal waste management system.
To correct these violations, please submit a Plan of Action to the Wilmington Regional
Office of the Division of Water Quality that describes the actions to be taken to comply with Animal
Waste Permit AWS310349. The plan should include the following:
1. The procedures followed to immediately eliminate the discharge of wastewater.

2. A list of any and all modifications needed to ensure there will be no future discharges along
with a timetable for the completion of the modifications.
The proposed plan of action must be received by this office in writing within fifteen
(I5) working days of the receipt of this notice. Upon approval and implementation of the plan,
you must notify this office when the corrective actions are complete.
If the violations are not corrected, the Division of Water Quality may pursue additional
civil penalties, injunctive relief, or permit revocation.
If you have any questions concerning this matter please do not hesitate to contact either
Dean Hunkele, of our Wilmington Office at [phone] or Mr. Shannon Langley at (919)

Dear Mr. Kennedy:
This is to notify Mr. Benny Kennedy that the Division of Water Quality's Wilmington
Regional Office has decided to not request enforcement for the discharge that occurred on March
17, 1999. This action is being taken in light of Mr. Kennedy's current situation at his animal
operation. It is our understanding that the entire operation was destroyed during the recent outbreak
of tornadoes in Duplin County. We are sorry to hear about the loss you have sustained and hope that
you can recover as soon as possible.
Please remember that you are still required to maintain the freeboard level in the lagoon at
an acceptable level until the site is repaired- I would suggest that you lower the level to the stop
pumping point as you normally would while repairs are ongoing. If you need any assistance during
re -construction please do not hesitate to contact us at 910-395-3900. Please contact me when you
are back in operation, so that I can perform your annual inspection for 1999.
Best wishes for kinder treatment during future bad weather.

New Ground Farm
Facility Number: 31-349
Duplin County
On July 11, 1997, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality
inspected your animal operation and the lagoon serving this operation. It was observed that you had applied
more nitrogen on your small grain field than is allowed in your certified animal waste management plan.
In addition, it was observed that you are growing soybeans in thus field rather than maintaining it as a small
grain field as outlined in your certified plan.
If you intend to continue growing soybeans in this field, soybeans must be immediately incorporated
into your certified plan. Application of waste in this field should be discontinued until your plan is officially
changed. We suggest that you contact your service company, local NRCS office, or Soil and Water District
office for any assistance they may be able to provide to correct this situation.
To remain a deemed permitted facility, 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 losing its deemed permitted status and being required to
obtain an individual non discharge permit.

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

Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time
and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

4 Indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. interplanted)
or winter annuals follow summer annuals.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded
in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing,
hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed
when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle
should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four
inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be'removed
for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small
grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too
high and this will definitely interfere with the stand of
bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced
yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than
cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as
is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small
grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or
silage two to three times during the season, depending on
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late
September or early October. Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a
height of about two inches before drilling for best results.
** Acreage figures may exceed total acreage in fields due to
overseeding.
* lbs AW N (animal waste nitrogen) equals total required nitrogen
less any commercial nitrogen (COMM N) supplied.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than
the acres shown in the tables.
NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic
land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be
nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent -
over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production
facility will produce approximately 905.76 pounds of plant
available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the sludge that will need to be
removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting
the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well
special equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge.

WASTE UTILIZATION PI
PAGE 6
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
waste water_
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of
the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs.
This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure,
soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application
amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the
soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen
applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage
and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every
6 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in
your structure be within 1.7 feet of the top of the dike.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure
that.an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report
for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper
application rate prior to applying the waste.

Plans and Specifications
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff,
drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge
during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which
reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject
to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division
of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that
the producer either has owns or has long term access to adequate
land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own
adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS
with a copy of a written agreement with a landowner who is within
a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for
waste application for the life expectancy of the production
facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility
to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is
a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals,
method of utilization, or available land.
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 - F_lter 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 North Carolina" in
the NRCS Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil
infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or
to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No ponding should occur
in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies
and to provide uniformity of•application.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in
such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf
area is covered.

WASTE UTILIZATION PL' PAGE 8
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for
spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for
leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils
should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover
crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall
not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a
crop on bare soil.
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to
surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that
are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips
are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of
dwellings other than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other
property and public right -of ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface wasters,
drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying.
Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands
provided they have been approved as a land application site
by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be
applied on grassed waterways that discharge into water
courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the
application causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities,
showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into
the animal waste management system.
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures
must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate
storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to
one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be
established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments,
berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation
shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as
necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as
trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to
areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be
kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures
should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage
or discharge.
19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or
terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and imple-
menting a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility
of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should
be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks,
and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept
on site.

NAME OF FARM:
OWNER / MANAGER AGREEMENT
I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specifications
and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the ap-
proved 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
Environmental 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 waters of the state from a storm event
less severe than the 25 year, 24• hour storm. The approved plan will
be filed on -site at the farm office and at the office of the local
Soil and Water Conservation District and will be available for review
by DEM upon request.
I (we) understand that I must own or have access to equipment,
primarily irrigation equipment, to land apply the animal waste
described in this waste utilization plan. This equipment must be
available at the appropriate pumping time such that no discharge
occurs from the lagoon in a 25-year 1-day storm event. I also cer-
tify that the waste will be applied on the land according to this
plan at the appropriate times and at rates that no runoff occurs.

Dear Mr. Kennedy:
Subject: NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY
New Ground Farm
Facility Number: 31-349
Duplin County
On July 11, 1997, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality
inspected your animal operation and the lagoon serving this operation. it was observed that you had applied
more nitrogen on your small grain field than is allowed in your certified animal waste management plan.
In addition, it was observed that you are growing soybeans in this field rather than maintaining it as a small
grain field as outlined in your certified plan.
If you intend to continue growing soybeans in this field, soybeans must be immediately incorporated
into your certified plan. Application of waste in this field should be discontinued until your plan is officially
changed. We suggest that you contact your service company, local NRCS office, or Soil and Water District
office for any assistance they may be able to provide to correct this situation.
To remain a deemed permitted facility, 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 losing its deemed permitted status and being required to
obtain an individual non discharge permit.

Dear Mr. Kennedy:
On January 11, 1996, in response to an anonymous complaint, Staff from the Wilmington Regional
Office of the Division of Environmental Management inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s)
serving this operation. It was observed that both spray fields were wet and had apparently been recently
utilized. These fields do not have an appropriate cover crop at this time. Application of animal waste to
any field without an appropriate cover crop is not consistent with best management practices and is a
violation of the animal waste rules.
You will need to establish and maintain the appropriate crop and 'acreage rotation required by
USDA-NRCS requirements. USDA-NRCS requirements specify that animal waste shall be applied on
actively growing crops. And that 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.
To remain a deemed permitted facility, 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 waste management plan.
Failure to do so may result in the facility losing it's deemed permitted status and being required to obtain

Dear Mr. Kennedy:
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

Dear Mr. Kennedy:
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 f&rtificajion form (copy enclosed) to DEM by
December 31. _1997 New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31, 1993 must
obtain signed certification before animals are stocked on the farin. Certification of an
approved animal waste management plan can be obtained after the Soil and Water Conservation
Commission adopts rules later this year.
We appreciate you providing us with this information. If you have any question about
the new nondischarge rule, please contact David Harding at [phone].

Sincerely,
