The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acr fi,
cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirem
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 manu
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 iiel
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 waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water andlor
groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be use
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required lor the
crops in the fields. where the waste is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting
nutrient.. Waste should he analyzed before each application cycle.
Annual sail testa 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 eaiaure that it is applied in an environmentally sale
manner:
1. Always apply waste based an the needs of the crop to be grown
and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more
nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different Infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and
available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at more
than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land.
eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than
10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter
atripa are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or
when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may
in runriff to t-he surface watera which is not allowed under DWQ
regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoild drift and
downwind odor problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and
to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be
applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days
prior to planting a crop or, forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting the waste or diaRing will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If
you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise
this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are
not the aame.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from
your waste management facility. in _solfte cases you may want to have

Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan
time and have appropriate equipment to apply the wa8te in a timely
manner.

The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while
meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may requiie
farmers in some parts of Worth Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addreases all nutrients. This plan only
addresaas nitrogen.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in
bermudagrass), for -age 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 plant-s
are grazed t-o a height of four inches. In fielda where small grain
etc!, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised
not to to let small grain to reach maturity, especially late in
the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain
gets too high and this will definitely interfere with stand of
bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and
less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for
hay or silage just- before heading as is the normal situation, you
are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harveating hay or silage twci 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.
Bermudagrasa should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two
inches before drilling for- beat results.
Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals
under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning may occur in
live_�tock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is
recommended.
Acres shown in the tables are considered to be the usable acres
excluding r-equired 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 field listed may, and most likely will be, more than
the acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization
of animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provision 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 app3:,oximately 1323 lba. of plant available
nitrogey, per year in the sludge.
if you r,emove sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately
6615 lbs. of PAN to utilize. aaauming you apply this PAN to
hybrid bermudagraas.hayland at the rate of 300 lbs. of nitrogen
pey� acre, you will need 22 acres of land. If you apply the
P-ludge to corn at the r-ate o_-E 125 lbs. of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 53 acres of land. Please be aware that these are
only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements
could vary by 25X depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil
types, realistic yields, and application methods.

APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rale
of the soil at the time of irrigation auch that runoff or ponding
occurs. Thia rate is limited by initial soil moiature 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 nov
should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen
needa'of the crop.
11 aurface 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 acyea shown in tablea. Failure to apply the
recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the table may
make this plan invalid.

Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Duplin County
Dear David Williams Farms Inc.:
On March 14, 2003, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued an NPDES General
Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued to enable swine facilities in North Carolina to
obtain coverage under a single permit that addresses both State and Federal requirements.
In accordance with your application received on January 31, 2003, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to David Williams Farms Inc., authorizing the operation of the
subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with
NPDES General Permit NCA200000. The issuance of this COC supersedes and terminates your COC
Number AWS310384 to operate under State Non -Discharge Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the David Williams Farms Inc., located in DuplinCounty, with an animal capacity
of no greater than an annual average of 3675 Feeder to Finish swine and the application to land as
specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to
Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are
unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced
by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until July 1, 2007. Pursuant to this COC, you are
authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
__.. _... specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this
facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and
this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed General Permit. Since this is a new joint State and
Federal general permit it contains many new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained
in the current State general permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and
revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay careful attention to the record keeping
and monitoring conditions in this mr-init. The Devices to Automatically Stoa Irrigation Events Form
must be returned to the Division of Water Quality no later than 120 days followin recei t of the
Certificate of Coverage. The Animal Facility Annual Certification Form must be cotapleted and returned
to the Division of Water Quality by_ no later than March 1st of each year.

The waste from your animal facility must be land appl.ied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or
groAindwater. The plant. nutrients in the animal waste should be use
to reduce- the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the
cropa in the fiedd-f�� where the waste is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the'limiting
nutrient�. WIS-St&. ahOL11d be analyzed before each application cycle.
Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so. that all plant
nutrients can he balanced for- realistic yields of the crop to be
grown.
Several factor--,-% are important in implementing your waste
utilization plan in or -der to maximize the fertilizer value of the
waste and to ensure that. it i-r- applied in an environmentally safe
manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown
and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more
nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they -have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, -cation exchange capacities, and
available water holding capacities.
Mormally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at more
than 5 tons per, acre per year. Waste may be applied to land
er-ading at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than
10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter
strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or
when the surface ia frozen.' Either of these conditions may
in runoff to the surface waters which is not allowed under DWO
regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoild drift and
downwind odor prablems.
6. To maximize. the value of the nutrients for crop production and
to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be
applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days
prior to planting a crop or- forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting the waste or diaking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odar problems.
This plan is baaed an the waste application method shown above. If
you choop_e to change methods in the future, you need to revise
thia plan. Nutrient levels for, different application methods are
not the, same.
The eatimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based an the waste analysis report from
your waste management facility. In aome cases you may want to have

Page 2
plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be
applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to
be fleyible so as to accommodate changing Waste analysis content
and the crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain PH in the
optimum range for specific crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the
requirementm 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

manner.

Page 3
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while
meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require
farmera in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresaea All nutrients. This plan only
addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, eta, interseeded in
bermudagreas), forage must be removed through grazing, hay and/or
silage. Where grazing, plants ahould be grazed when they reach a
height of six to nine inches. Cattle ah.ould be removed when plants
are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain
etcp is to be removed for hay or silagep care should be exercised
not to to lat"amall grain to reach maturity, especially late in
the season fi.e. April or Hay). Shading may result if small grain
gets too high and this will definitely interfere with stand of
bermudagraas. 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 hny 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 beat results.
Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals
u ' nder stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning may occur in
livestock. Sampling forage or hay -for nitrate levels is
recommended.
Acres shown in the tables are considered to be the usable acres
excluding required buffers , filter strips aloig ditches, odd
areas unable to he irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application ratea due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the field listed may, and most likely will be, more than
the acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization
of animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provision 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 1223 lbs. of plant available
nitrogen per year In the sludge.
If you remove sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately
6615 lba. of PAN to utilize. assuming you apply this PAN to
hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs. of njtrogen
per acre, you will need 22 acres of land. If you apply,the
aludge to corn at the rate of 125 lba. of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 53 acres of land. Please be aware that these are
only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements
could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil
types, realistic yields, and application methods.

Page 4
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. Thi8 rate ia limited by initial soil moisture content,
soil structure, soil texture, water droplet aize, and organic
aolida. Me 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
needa of the crop.
If aurface, 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. Failure to apply the
recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the table may
make thi6 plan invalid.

Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 31-394
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 agronon-Lic 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 industrW 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. MM I, IRR.2, DRY I, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR I, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Sod 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 Us letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the

Subject: Notice of Deficiency-.
Dear Mr. Hunkele:
In response'to your letter of October 26,1998 1 will -respond to
the items you listed that need -attention.
The goats have already been fenced from being able to get
on the lagoon. The repair and seeding the lagoon will be
done as soon as it rains.
Our waste utilization plar. was redone in 1998. It was
impossible for us to get our sprigging done in 1998. After
thinking about our new plan, we decided that it would be
better to sprig the coastal on tract #320 keeping tract
#1215 for our corn, wheat, and soybean rotation. This
would leave tract #1215 for winter spraying, therefore all of
our coastal would be in the same area. We met with Glenn
Cliftoin.of Prestage Farms he stated this would work fine.
He has redone our plan and a copy is attached.
3. We have already scheduled with Charlie Murphy (A custom
spriggier contractor) to do our sprigging in the spring of
5

;P
19
1999. This includes the new fields, the bare spots and the
area that has Bahia Grass on it after we spray this with
Round Up to kill the Bahia Grass.
4. In reference to the weed problem in our Coastal fields. We
have contracted with Gordon Dixon of Harrells, NC (a
custom spray applicator) to spray this in the spring of 1999
to control the weeds.
5. The small bare area on lagoon # 2 will be seeded as soon as
f
it rains. The mowing will be done before spring. (I feel the

6. We will lime all fields as recommended by the soil test this
month.
7. We will keep records on all spraying with a record of the
nitrogen applied, where from and to what areas applied.
8. We have never received a copy of certificate of coverage.
Can you tell us what steps we need to take to get this?

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or
groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be use
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 teats are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be
grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste
utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the
waste and to ensure that it is applied in -an environmentally safe
manner:
1. Always apply waate-based on the needs of the crop to be grown
and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more
nitrogen than-t" crop can utl-l-izew
2. Soil typed-are'important'as they"have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and
available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste &hall not he applied to land eroding at more
than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land
eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less then
10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter
strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or
when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may
in runoff to the surface watera which is not 'allowed under DWO
regulations.
5. Wind conditions al%Quld also be considered to avoild drift and
downwind odor problems
6. To maximize the valud.o:Pthe nutrients for crop production and
to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be
applied to a growing crop or applied not more then 30 days
prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting the waste or diaking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If
you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise
this plan. Nutrient levels for dizEferent application methods are
not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient -content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from
your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have

Page 2
plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be
applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to
be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content
and the crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain PH in the
optimum range for specific crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the
requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the
Environmental Management Commission.

meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require
farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only
addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields (i.e. anall grain, etc, interaeeded in
bermudagress), 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 to let small grain to reach maturity, especially late in
the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain
gets too high and this will definitely interfere with stand of
bermudagrasa. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and
less nitrogen being utilized. Rather then 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.
Bermudegrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two
inches before drilling for beat results.
Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals
under stressed conditions..Nitrate poisoning may occur in
livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is
recommended.
Acres shown In - -the- tablea- - are -considered- -to, -be - tiie­ -usable- ar-rew-
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 field listed may, and moat likely will be, more than
the acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization
of animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provision 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 '1323 lbs. of plant available
nitrogen per year in the sludge.
If you remove sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately
6615 lbs. of PAN to utilize. assuming you apply this PAN to
hybrid bermudagresa hayland at the rate of 300 lbs. of nitrogen
per acre, you will need 22 acres of land. If you apply the
sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lba. of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 53 acres of land. Please be aware that these are
only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements
could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil
types, realistic yields, and application methods.

Page 4
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate
of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding
occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content,
soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic
solids. The application amount should not exceed the available
water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor
should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen
needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this
plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation
designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to
properly irrigate the acres shown in tables.,Failure to apply the
recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen showri in the table may
make this plan invalid.
The following table is provided as a guide for establishing
application rates and amounts.

This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil
assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed f6r the crop is not over
applied. In many situations the application amount shown cannot be
applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil
conditions.

Page 5
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 instances should the volume of the waste be stored
in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or
one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour
storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to
ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply
the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. 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.

Subject: FINAL NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY
David Williams Farm
Facility Number: 31-384
Duplin County
On October 20, 1998, 1 inspected your animal operation and the lagoons serving this
operation. During the inspection, it was observed that you had several items that require attention.
The dike walls of lagoon #1 have damage which appears to have been caused by allowing goats
access -with severe inner wall erosion and little vegetation. It is our concern that further
degradation of the inner wall may become deep enough to cut through the liner material and
sacrifice the integrity of the structure. In addition, the cover crop in spray field #1 on Tract 1215
is not the crop stipulated in your certified animal waste plan and the coastal bermuda field needs
significant improvement.
A letter of deficiency was sent to you on September 25, 1997 concerning erosion on your
lagoons and not having the correct crops in spray fields. This will be the final letter addressing
these violations of your certified animal waste plan. Subsequent violations will result in a Notice
of Violation and may include a civil penalty.
The inner dike wall of your lagoon will require appropriate repair to re-establish the original
shape and slope of the inner wall prior to establishing a vegetative cover. Deep cuts will need to
be filled and packed with a suitable clay material.

In addition, animals should not have access to lagoons, thus goats need to be excluded with
fencing that is not on the dike wall embankments. Thus, a proper fence perimeter will need to
be established and the holding pen moved to a more suitable location. Your plan must be changed
to reflect the current cropping system for Field #1 Tract 1215 ot the field must be established with
coastal bermuda. for the next cropping cycle. Your current bermuda field has a significant portion
that is bahia grass and weeds are a problem in many other areas. Better weed management is
needed in this bermuda. field and areas lacking significant bermuda will need to be sprigged in
1999. Contact your county extension agency, NCDA, or your service company for assistance.
Furthermore, please address the other items mentioned on your copy of the inspection report not
discussed above.
You must notify this office in writing within fourteen (14) days of the receipt of this notice,
what actions are being taken to correct these deficiencies including a timetable for repairs to be
complete. Failure to do so may result in the facility losing its deemed permitted status or General
Permit and being required to obtain an individual non discharge permit.
Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes to discharge wastewater
to the surface waters of the State without a permit. The Division of Water Quality has the
authority io levy a civil penalty of not more than $10,000 per day per violation.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please call Dean Hunkele, David

Subject: NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY
David Williams Farm
Facility Number: 31-384
Duplin County
On Septmber 23, 1997, staff from the W-flViington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality
inspected your animal operation and the lagoons serving this operation. It was observed that erosion on the
walls of both lagoons (especially lagoon #2) could eventually threaten the integrity of the structures. All
erosion cuts on your lagoon walls must be properly filled and all bare areas revegetated. In addition, it was
observed that you are growing crops in your spray fields which are not part of your certified plan. Your
plan must be modified to reflect the changes in crop cover on these fields.
To remain a deemed permitted facility, you must notify this office m 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.
Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes to discharge wastewater to the

Dear Mr. Williams:
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 at91gn33-0026.
Sincerely,
