The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient contents of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and avaialable water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre-cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to inject the waste in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating waste are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for ananlysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission_ RECEiVECIMCQENR/M JUL 1 7.2015 Water Quality Regional operations Section Wilmington Regional Office Page 1 of 9 AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 2464 hogs X 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year =4681.6 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 2464 hogs X 1.7 1bs PAN/hogs/year= 4188.8 PAN/year Applying the above amount of waste is a big job.

Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nurturient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 911.68 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge. See the attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. Your facility is designed for 0 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 0 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be within 0 feet of the top of the dike. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsiblity of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

Page 5 of 9 PLANS & 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 Water Quality for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. (See FOTG 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 there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the NRCS Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.) "7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a crop on bare soil. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: the outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from anv perennial stream or river (other that an irriaa#ion ditch or canal. Animal waste Page 6 of 9 other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal Waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landownwer. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right - of ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over-spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted croplands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the application causes no runoff or drift from the site. *16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. *17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where considered appropriate. lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. *18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. *19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied as a preemergence with no other applications of animal waste during the crop season. *21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume fpr waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate- determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production amd maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina Department of Agriculture regulations. * Liquid Systems Page 7 of 9 NAME OF FARM: Boyd Barfield Farm 31-368 4 + OWNER / MANAGER AGREEMENT (we) understand and will follow and implement the specifications and the operation and maintenance precedures estalished in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above.

Application of Waste by Irrigation Field Soil Type Crop Application Application No. Rate In1H Amount In. 1,4 BnB Bermuda 0.5 .5-1.0 2 AuB Bermuda 0.5 .5-1.0 THIS TABLE IS NOT NEEDED IF WASTE IS NOT BEING APPLIED BY IRRIGATION,HOWEVER A SIMILAR TABLE WILL BE NEEDED FOR DRY UTTER OR SLURRY. 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 exceed Elevation 'see lagoon design. Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service(formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. Narrative of operation: This plan is written for"wetted"acres.- All:fields will be Nanted in Bermuda and will be grazed. All fields will be overseeded with small grain All small grain must be removed from the field by April 7th:Irrigation will be done with a hard hose traveller. REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 1 Animal waste shalt not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity,allowing himlher the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase In the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet,'but not exceed,the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons,but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass fitter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393-Filter Strip). 5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste•or:disking-after waste.application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres"subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation.tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See"Weather and Climate in North Carolina"for guidance.) 7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. 8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 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 Waste nutrients shall not be applied in Fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. . 11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393-Filter Strips). 12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. J .Fr 14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach,other property and public right-of-ways. 15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over-spraying. Animal waste may be applied to-prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist'. Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge dhh%y 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. Paoe 6 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on.all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced as necessary to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion,leakage or discharge. 18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "dosuns plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19 Waste handling structures, piping pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied pre-plant with no further applications animal waste during the crop season. 21 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste-treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the-markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste ilwo gs ponds. 22 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization.agdsoil shall be tested at least armuelty at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate-determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when time metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for n"w optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five(5)years. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. 23 Done 7 WASTE UTILIZATIQN PLAN AGREEMENT Name of Farm: Bo d Barfield Farms 1&2 Owner/Manager Agreement I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specifications and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above.

Based on the current sludge scoring system,the lagoon serving this farm had more sludge than is currently recommended. There was an average of 3.47' of sludge,resulting in a sludge score of 3.58. The tad lagoon on this farm has more than 4'of sludge free treatment zone. After reviewing lagoon performance to date,based on lagoon analysis and management issues,it is clear that the lagoon is functioning properly,and that current sludge levels are causing no problems. Based on the lagoon performance to date,we have decided that the best course of action is to treat this lagoon with a biological product intended to enhance the lagoons inherent sludge treatment capability. Research on various biological products has been ongoing for several years within Murphy-Brown LLC, with several demonstrating applicability in these types of situations. Mr. Barfield will be treating his lagoon with one of these microbial products beginning in the Spring of 2007,once lagoon temperatures reach a point that will support adequate biological activity. I have enclosed a copy of the sludge survey form for this lagoon for your review. It is my understanding that this letter satisfies the permit requirement to submit a sludge management plan to the Division for any lagoon with less than 4 feet of sludge free treatment zone. If there are any questions or concerns with our current sludge management plan for this farm,please feel free to contact me at(910)293 5330.

The Wilmington Regional Office has determined that no further enforcement actions will be taken by the Division for the inadequate freeboard. However, upon review and consideration of the information submitted, the Wilmington Regional Office has determined that an NOV is appropriate due to unsatisfactory operation and maintenance of the waste treatment system. In the future, please continue to evaluate ways to maintain freeboard levels in the required range. These methods include, but are not limited to, water conservation practices, adding additional application sites, updating your cropping systems, adding additional and/or more flexible application equipment, and maintaining the lagoon levels at the lowest allowable and appropriate levels throughout the year. Our staff looks forward to continuing to work with you and your Technical Specialist to evaluate and implement any needed changes to your system.

This lack of adequate freeboard is in non-compliance with the Certificate of Coverage issued to this facility on March 26, 1999. In addition to this Notice of Violation (NOV), this non-compliance is subject to an appropriate enforcement action by DWQ. This action can consist of one or more of the following: a civil or criminal enforcement action; an injunction; and/or a requirement to apply for coverage under an individual permit. The action chosen will be based on complete evaluation of all factors that resulted in the inadequate freeboard; the actions taken to restore the needed freeboard; and the actions being proposed to prevent the problem from reoccurring. To assist us in our review, please provide the Wilmington Regional Office with an evaluation of the reasons for the freeboard violation(s) and a strategy to prevent future freeboard violation(s). This evaluation and strategy must include but is not limited to the following: Current Freeboard level(s) Freeboard level records in the lagoon(s) for the past 12 months up to the date of submittal Spraying records for the past 12 months up to the date of submittal NCDENR Customer Service.

PRODUCER: Boyd Barfield 1&2 LOCATION: 2386 Summerland Crossroads Rd Mt. Olive, NC 28365 TELEPHONE: 919-658-7707 TYPE OPERATION: Feeder- Finish NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 2464 (Design Capacity) The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

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 exceed Elevation *see lagoon design. Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. Narrative of operation: This plan is written for"wetted" acres. All fields will be planted in Bermuda and will be grazed. All fields will be overseeded with small grain All small grain must be removed from the field by April 7th. Irrigation will be done with a hard hose traveller. Page 4 � T1LH Ti�I� P�N REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 1 Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year.providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393- Filter Strip). 5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See"Weather and Climate in North Carolina"for guidance.) 7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. 8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. Page 5 �s U-rr l T REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 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 Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393- Filter Strips). 12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over-spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16 Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. Page 6 WAST _ TILIZATI�N Phi REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced as necessary to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. 18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19 Waste handling structures, piping pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied pre-plant with no further applications animal waste during the crop season. 21 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate-determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5)years. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. 23 Page 7 W S E I L4 g .,7, P7R711 WAKE TI N PLAN E Name of Farm: Boyd Barfield Farms 1&2 Owner/Manager Agreement I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specifications and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above. 1 (we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and storage system or construction of new facilities will require a new certification to be submitted to the Division of Environment Management (DEM) before the new animals are stocked.

Olive NC 28365 Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination Animal Waste Management System Boyd Barfield Farm 1&2 Facility Number 31-368 Duplin County Dear Boyd Barfield: 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 Dean Hunkele on 6/2/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X". Category 1: ❑ The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Dean Hunkele the necessary information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre determination.

Duplin County Dear Boyd Barfield: 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, DRYS, SLUR1, SLUR2, SLD1,and SLD2)and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality(DWQ) compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an appropriate enforcement action. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting requirement.

We have met with the representative of Land Qualiw,and Stoney Matthis on site and feel comfortable with the following position. Mr. Barfield's lagoons are greater than twenty years old and were designed by Duplin County NRCS. All of the trees in question were likely present when the lagoon was originally constructed_ Extensive dike work has been done to widen the existing dikes and otherwise stabilize them. This work was done prior to certification by Murphy Family Farms for 0200 compliance. Since the trees that remain are located at or near the original ground level of the site,we feel that the certification of the lagoon is sufficient,and that any future problems should be the responsibility of the original designer and die technical specialist who certified the lagoon.

On June 2, 1999, Mr. Dean Hunkele 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 the lagoon dike walls are not being maintained in accordance with the requirements of your Animal Waste Permit AWS310368. The current condition of the dike walls prevent a thorough inspection by inspectors, as well as, yourself. This is in violation of Part 11. Operation and Maintenance Requirements, Section 10 of AWS310368. The walls need to be permanently cleared of large weeds that do little to stabilize the structure and prevent grass from being maintained. A few trees are adjacent to the structures and must be totally removed if they contact any part of the dike wall including the toe. Those that are close to the walls, but do not infringe on the wall itself should be removed or have the lower limbs removed to aid in inspection for possible problems. Upon removal of the undesired vegetation, grassed vegetation should be established and maintained at a height not to exceed 18 inches. Consult an engineer prior to removing any tree stumps in the walls for any safety issues involved. In addition, the leaks from the houses discovered in September 1998 have not been completely repaired. Please repair the remaining leak as soon as possible and pack clay around the foundation in the areas where the leaks occurred.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to Tnaximi a 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 gown and the nutrient content ofthe waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions,waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen_ Either of these conditions may result in nmoffto surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management.facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation,'and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analvsis.

Discharge rates and appUb*MhffnMif 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 provided the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring. For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly throughout the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both sides of the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for all nonuniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation dealer or technical specialist for assistance. 'Reprinted for Certification Training for Operations of Animal Waste Management Systems Manual OPERATION & AlAEV MNANCE 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 accardingto 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 (sev Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to mainrain 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: I. 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 undertaldng 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 yourpumping system marntenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full, your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare parts or pumps. Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be corning 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 wM 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: 1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil surfaces to avoid erosion. 2. Fill new Iagoon design tteament 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 worlang swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the f a lagoon liquid volume. This seeding should occour at least two werlm priorto the addition of wastewater. 6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below 7.0, add agricuituzai 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 tunes daily are optimum for neatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained- and recharged each day, also work well. Practice water conservation—minimise building water usage and spillage from leaking-waterers, broken pipe's 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 Mama gerrr�rrt- 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 We summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter. The lagoon liquid Ievel should never be closer than l 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 embaakmeat Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is full or before it fills SQ 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: Rats 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 barn, 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 dzagline 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 I requirement Waste application zates 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 set 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 hea,.y metal content than liquid. Bemuse 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 phosphorus, it should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value. The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site. Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which could increase the concern of neighbors. Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure Iagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the snuctun;. Types of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overoopping, 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 strucan-e—an example is the placement of a pipe in the dam without proper design and consWaction. (Consult an mpeert in lagoon design before placing any pipes in dnms_) 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 soots cause gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly.cause a large discharge of wastewater and possible dam failure. c`2...-;(Y.:-sr::b:;:' s;.; �'G' ��. -Y' Y 'Ff �' ec '�xk..;v-'` Y��'. •'c"""' {�:'�-.':`:-3Z': ,��� � 7^u`.`'%�+.s. � r+ t {ray ♦��5 � :.' ��J�w �Z '�`.'f`.,,�y`y�. cv °'{C�;«��.s;t x �'��i,�; k����4��,�� R���:•• �. teoaeeaiv�asa�LapL�::SS�"3�3� ��f ,^�".`.`y.'w;%-:.%ac w•�.,`.:�,:..ak�i"xea'avl�?.y''4Si-atiuxCa,dcw,ux�taa' ih%�:This plan plan will be implemented in the event that animal manure or lagoon effluent from your operation is lealdng, overflowing, or running off the site: Step (1) Stop the release or flow of manure/effluent.

You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave you property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible location for all- employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should take. 1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may ore may not be . possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed belwo. A. Lagoon overflow-possible solutions are: a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam. b. Pump wastes to Fields at an acceptable rate. c. Stop all flows to the lagodn immediately. d. Call a pumping contractor. e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon. S. Runoff from waste application field-actions include: a. Immediately stop waste application. b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste. c. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff. d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that cause the runoff. e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred. C. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers-action include: . a. Stop recycle pump. b. Stop irrigation pump. c. Close valves to eliminate further discharge. d. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps. D. Leakage from flush systems, houses, solid separators-action include: a. Stop recycle pump. b. Stop irrigation pump. c. Make sure siphon occurs. d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid separators. E. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to flowing leaks-possible action: a. Dig a small sump or ditch from the embankment-to catch all seeQage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back to lagoon. b. if holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil. c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of-the side walls and lagoon- bottom as soon as possible. 1- _ 4 , 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? d. Did the spill leave the property? e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters? f. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters? g. Are potable water wells in danger (either on or off the properly)? h. How much reached surface waters? 3. Contact appropriate agencies. a. During normal business hours call your DWQ regional office; Phone - -- After hours, emergency number. 919-733-3942. Your phone call should incfude: your name, facility number, telephone number, the details of the incident from item 2 above, the exact location of the facility, the location or direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind conditions. The corrective measures that-have been . under taken, and the seriousness of the sitution. b. If spill leaves property or enters surface waters, call local EMS phone number. c.- Instruct EMS to contact local Helath Department. d. Contact CEs, phone number - , local SWCD office phone number - -, and local NRCS office for advice/technical assistance phone number - -. 4. If none of the above works call 911 or the Sheriff's Department and explain you problem to them and ask the person to contact the proper agencies for you. 5. Conrad the contractor of your choice to begin repair or problem to minimize off- site damage. a. Contractors Name: ti� , ✓ b. Contractors Address: c, Contractors Phone: -9 O 1 fi. Contact the technical specialist who certified the lagoon (NRCS, Consulting Engineer, etc.) a. Name: Ket,am+ b. Phone: d �� 7. Implement proced res as'advised by DWQ and technical assistance agencies to rectify the damage, repair the system, and reassess the waste managment plan to keep problems with release of wastes from happening again. 2 INSECT CONTROL CHECKLIST FOR ANIMAL OPERATIONS Source Cause BMP's to Minimize odor Site Specific Practices (Uquid systems) - — — Rush Gutters Accumulation of solids MRush system is designed and operated sufficiently to remove accumulated Mbitds from gutters as designed.

Notice of Violation Boyd Barfield Farm #1 & #2 Facility Number: 31-368 Duplin County Dear Mr. Barfield: This is to notify Mr. Boyd Barfield, 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 AWS310368. On June 2, 1999, Mr. Dean Hunkele 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 the lagoon dike walls are not being maintained in accordance with the requirements of your Animal Waste Permit AWS310368. The current condition of the dike walls prevent a thorough inspection by inspectors, as well as, yourself. This is in violation of Part Il. Operation and Maintenance Requirements. Section 10 of AWS310368. The walls need to be permanently cleared of large weeds that do little to stabilize the structure and prevent grass from being maintained. A few trees are adjacent to the structures and must be totally removed if they contact any part of the dike wall including the toe. Those that are close to the walls, but do not infringe on the wall itself should be removed or have the lower limbs removed to aid in inspection for possible problems. Upon removal of the undesired vegetation, grassed vegetation should be established and maintained at a height not to exceed 18 inches. Consult an engineer prior to removing any tree stumps in the walls for any safety issues involved. In addition: the leaks from the houses discovered in September 1998 have not been completely repaired. Please repair the remaining leak as soon as possible and pack clay around the foundation in the areas where the leaks occurred. Also, address the soil and waste analysis 127 North Cardinal Dr.,Wilmington,North Carolina 28405 Telephone 910-395-3900 FAX 910-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post-consumer paper h" Mr. Boyd Barfield June 21, 1999 Page 2 requirements that were discussed during the inspection. To correct this violation,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 AWS310368. The plan should include a timetable for the completion of such actions, but should be completed by the end of August. The proposed plan of action must be received by this office in writing within fifteen (15) working days of the receipt of this notice. Upon approval and implementation of the plan, you must notify this office when the corrective actions are complete. A follow-up inspection may be conducted later this year to inspect the improvements.

Olive NC 28365 SUBJECT: Operator In Charge Designation Facility: Boyd Barfield Farm Facility ID#: 31-368 Duplin County Dear Mr. Barfield: Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly, requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more swine by January 1, 1997. The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H .0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty. If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office. Examinations have been offered on an on-going basis in many counties throughout the state for the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996. Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this requirement please call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt of our staff at 919/733-0026.

This is an unfortunate situation and one that I sincerely regret. I take pride in my operation and do my best to ensure it operates correctly for all concerned. It was therefore with dismay that I read my name with your estimate of discharge volume. I believe it is grossly incorrect.The resulting publicity seriously brings into question amongst the community and with Murphy Family Farms, my name and ability to operate this facility correctly. As normally occurs I visited the unit and tended my hogs at 7:00 AM Tuesday morning. At this time the flush system and lagoon were operating correctly. Sometime after this,the discharge pipe must have plugged. I estimate that the most waste that could have been discharged was between 500 and 1,500 gallons.The reason for this is as follows; 1. I have two 400 gallon flush tanks that flush effluent through the house on a timer, every 6 hours. This had already flushed once during my morning visit. The maximum volume from the flush tanks during the aforementioned time frame would be 1 flush X 2 X 400 gallons or 800 gallons. 2. The maxinnim volume of liquid generated in the house due to urine,drinking water and misters during this time is around 550 gallons with normal water consumption and water use. 3. The facility itself,because it is an open gutter flush rather than slatter building,will have contained much of this vohzme of water. 4. I fixed the plugged pipe by 5 PM on that same Tuesday. 5. The effluent volume that did overflow appears to have moved slowly away from the buildings into an area of very thick vegetation where it was absorbed. Subsequent visits from Murphy Land and Nutrient Management Specialists showed little evidence of the discharge outside this area. Consequently,there is no evidence that would indicate any discharge into the streams 100 yards away. Given these facts and the logic behind them I would request that you consider notifying the appropriate people to correct your estimate and statements regarding the discharge. If you have any additional questions to help clarify this I'll be happy to answer them. Lois also requested that I give you the names of the gentleman who visited the farm in July.The names given to me were Ed Beck and John Long who were supposedly from the Wilmington DEM. They visited with the Murphy Service Representative Kenneth Westbrook on July 28th. Thant:you for your assistance and attention to this matter. Again, it was an unfortunate occurrence and one I believe should not be put down to mismanagement. I always tend to my hogs at the beginning and end of each day so would have seen and corrected the problem even if you had not visited the farm.

Hunt, r ry ® � Jonathan B. Howes, Secretary Fi. A. Preston Howard,Jr., P.E., Director March 21, 1994 Boyd Barfield 2386 Summerlin Crossroad Rd Mt. Olive NC 28365 Dear Mr. Barfield: This is to inform you that your completed registration form required by the recently modified nondischarge rule has been received by the Division of Environmental Management (DEM), Water Quality Section. On December 10, 1992 the Environmental Management Commission adopted a water quality rule which governs animal waste management systems. The goal of the rule is for animal operations to be managed such that animal waste is not discharged to surface waters of the state.. The rule allows animal waste systems to be "deemed permitted" if certain minimum criteria are met (15A NCAC 2H .0217). By submitting this registration you have met one of the criteria for being deemed permitted. We would like to remind you that existing feedlots which meet the size thresholds listed in the rule, and any new or expanded feedlots constructed between February 1, 1993 and December 31, 1993 must submit a signed certification form (copy enclosed) to DEM by December 31, 1997, New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31, 1993 must obtain signed certification before animals are stocked on the farm. Certification of an approved animal waste management plan can be obtained after the Soil and Water Conservation Commission adopts rules later this year. We appreciate you providing us with this information. If you have any question about the new nondischarge rule, please contact David Harding at(919) 733-5083.
