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. LOCATION: 2368 Summerland Crossroads Rd Mt. Olive, NC 28365 TELEPHONE: (919-658-6465) 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. Sail 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 in the winter months. All Small Grain must be removed from the fields by April 7th. Page 4 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 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 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. 23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Olive NC 28365 Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. AWS310394 Ken Barfield Farm Inc Swine Waste Collection, Treatment, Storage and Application System Duplin County Dear Kenneth Barfield: On April 28, 2003, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the Division of Water Quality (Division) to extend the expiration date of the Swine Waste Operation General Permit AWG100000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit. In accordance with your application received on February 14, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Kenneth Barfield, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS310394 which expired on April 30, 2003. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Ken Barfield Farm Inc, located in Duplin County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 1350 Farrow to Wean 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 maybe 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 October 1, 2004. 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. If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.

Olive, NC 28365 TELEPHONE: (919-658-6465) TYPE OPERATION: Farrow - Wean NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 1350 (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, ration 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 satu •ated 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. Page 1 Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Pernuttee must submit documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking of the facility. Per MRCS standards a 100 foot separation shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon or any wetted area of a spray field. Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143- 215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief. If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after the expiration date of the General Permit, an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration.

Application of Waste by Irrigation M-114 Cn!I Tung Crop Application Application THIS TABLE IS NOT NEEDED iF WASTE is NOT BEING APPLIED BY IRRIGATION, HOWEVER A SIMILAR TABLE WILL BE NEEDED FOR DRY LITTER 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 B 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 SeIvice) 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 led in Bermuda and will be grazed. All fields will be overseeded with Small Grain in the winte r months. All Small Grain must be removed from the fields by Aril 7th. Page 4 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge 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. It` 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 -:he 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 fielc . (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strip). 5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste appiii;ation. 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 sail incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crop:, 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.) 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. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall event::, or when the surface is frozen. Page 5 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 for -ages 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 S-Aps). 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 lechni:al specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge direcuy into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronrtmic 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 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation MR 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 recordf; 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 -Tive (5) years. 23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Mt. Olive, NC 28365 Subject: Inadequate Freeboard No Further Action Ken Barfield Farm, Inc. Facility# 31-394 Duplin County Dear Kenneth Barfield: Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director Division of Water Quality Thank you for your recent submittal of the information requested in our letter dated April 15, 2003. 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. iiILDENR Customer Service: Mailing Address: Telephone: (919) 733-5083 Location: 1 800 623-7748 1617 Mail Service Center Fax: (919) 733-0059 512 N.

Ross Jr., Secretary Department of Environment and Natural Resources Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director Division of Water Quality On April 10, 2003, a representative of your animal operation informed the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) that there was inadequate freeboard in the lagoon(s) serving this facility. This lack of adequate freeboard is in non-compliance with the Certificate of Coverage issued to this facility on January 23, 1998. 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).

Olive, NC 28365 TELEPHONE: (919-658-6465) TYPE OPERATION: Farrow - Wean NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 1350 (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 carded out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 21-1,02117 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 planis written for "wetted" acres. All fields will be planted in Bermuda and will be grazed. All fields will be overseeded with Small Grain in the winter months. All Small Grain must be removed from the fields by April 7th. Page 4 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge 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 himther 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 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 not1be discharged into the animal waste management system. Page 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 "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. 23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

RESOURCES October 2, 2000 Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination Animal Waste Management System Ken Barfield Farm Inc Facility Number 31-394 Duplin County 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 Greer McVicker on 11/19/99 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 followinc, two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X". 0 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 Greer McVicker the necessary information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre determination. Please submit this information to Greer McVicker, at 127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, NC 28405-3845, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter.

The issuance of a COC under this permit shall -not relieve the Permittee -of the TCsponsibility for damages to surface woters or ground waters resulting from the animal The Permittee shall designate a certified animal waste manacrement system operator to be in charge (OIC) of the animal waste manaEement system. The animal waste manacyement system shall be operated by the OIC or a person under the OIC's supervision. haAMILM&P aeh-'q rv- 7 w rz, ;�el - i I ? - CAWNIP. At a Erlinimum, maximum waste level for lagoon&/storage ponds must not b &� exceed the level that provides adequate storage to, contain the 25-yr-ar, 24-bour storm event plus an additional I foot of strucrur� freeboard. In addition to the above requirements, for new and expanding farms with lagoon designs 'completed after September 1, 1996, storage must also be provided for the heavy rainfall factor for lagoons without an outside drainage area. In the case of lagoons/storage ponds in series that are gravity fed, the 25-year, 24-hour storm event and/or the heavy rainfall factor. storage requirements for the system may be desi-ned into the lowest lacroori/storage pond in the system. However, adequate Z= ZD freeboard must be designed into each of the upper Iagoons/storage ponds to allow sufficient storage to prevent the waste level from raising into the suuctural freeboard while the storm water is draininE into the lowest lagoon in the system. 5 14 ve goo' -reason to believe that any activities U L:; Y conducted parsuant to Shoul' the 'W' ha U this permit may cause or contribute any waste . directly or indirectly, to be intermixed with the waters of the State, the DWQ may require any monitoring (including but not limited to groundwater, surface water, animal waste, sludge, soil and plant tissue) necessary to determine the source, quantity, quality, and effect of such waste upon the waters of the State. Such monitoring, including its scope, frequency, duration and any sampling, testing, and reporting systems, shall meet all applicable Environmental Manaaement Commission requirements. "Good Reason" may be based on the findin-as of a related Federal, State, Commission or DENR authorized study or report, or other evidence showing that violations of State water quality standards or other applicable environmental standards have occurred or may occur. Failurt", to abide by-thr. conditions and limitations contained in this pern-iit, the facility's CAVJMP and/or any COC issued under this permit may subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the DWQ in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes and may include the requirement to obtain an individual non -discharge permit and/or the modification of the animal waste manacement system 6. The issuance of a COC under this permit does not excuse the Pern-�ttee from the obli-ation to comply with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orordinances (local, state, and federal). 7. If animal production ceases, the Permittee sb�ll close the lagoons/storage ponds in accordance with Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) lagoon/storage pond closure standards ' or develop and implement an animal waste management plan in accordance with NRCS standards. Closure shall also include notifying the DWQ and subTnittal of the Animal Waste Storage Pond and LaVon Closure Report Form to DWQ- Water Quality Section- Non-Discbargge Branch within 15 days of completion of closure. 8. The annual permit fee shall be paid by the Permittee -within thirty (30) days.after being billed by the Division. Failure. to pay the fee accordingly constitutes grounds for Gr %) 9. Failure of the Permittee to maintain, in full force and effect, lessee and landowner azreements which are required in the CAWINT, shall constitute grounds for revocation of the COC granting coverage under this General Permit. indivi�uals for p'ersonal use. M 11. The Groundwater Compliance Boundary for the disposal system constructed after December 31, 1983, is established at either (1) 250 feet from the waste structures and from the waste disposal area, or (2) 50 feet within the property boundary, w1iichever is closest to the waste structures and the wa-st-- disposal area. If this facility was constructed prior to December 31, 1983,-the Compliance Boundary i's established at either (1) 500 feet from the waste disposal area, or (2) at the property boundary, whichever is closest to the waste disposal are -a. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to the requirements of 15A NCAC 2L and the Division in addition to the penalty provisions applicable under the North Carolina General Statutes.

Discharge rates and application rates change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular, pump wear tends. to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use, nozzle wear results- in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the - discharge m while decreasing the wetted diameter. You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed irT 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. Pluggect intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure.. Operating below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application uniformity. Fbr 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- frbm sprinklers. For traveling guns, sprinklers should be Jocated along a transect perpendicular to the direction of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect an bath sides of the gun cart You should compute the average application rate for all nonuniformity of the applicat ' ion. On a windless- day, variation between containers of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. YoLL should cantacr your irrigation dealer or technical specialist for assistance. 'ReMnted for Ce-rdfication Training for Operations of Animal WaVe Management Systems Manual OPERATTON & MAINTENANCE PLAN Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round pri0riry. It is especially important to manage levels so that you do not have problems durin,- ex=ded rainy and wetpedods. MMLimum storage capacity should be available in the lag .,00n fbrperiods when the- recciving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when th= am exlended rainy spells such as- the thund==rm season in tha summm-time.. This mean tbat at the ff=signs of plant growth in the later winter/earlyspring; irrigation accmifingto a- f�= waste management plan should be done: whenevcr the land is dry enough to r=mve lagoon liquid. This will ma sumge spa= available in the lagoon for 6 1 r - wet peziods- In the lam surnmer/cady fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low TO (st--- Figgure 2- 1) to allow fcr winter storag ,,r_t Every effort should ba mad to mab=in the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as -long as the weather and wasti-_ utilization plan will allow it - 'Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maxim= storage capacity before starting, to irriRate: does not leave room for storing excess water during ex=ded wet periods. Ovexflow from the lagoon for any rmson except a- 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of sta law and subject to p=alty action. The routine mainmnance of a lagoon involves the following- . W Mahtenance of a vecretative cover for the dam. Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative covers. nt 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 t;ractical 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 eqWvalent. Brash and trem on the embankment must be controlled. This may be done by mowing-, spraying, gra=ng, chopping, or a combination of these practices. This should be done at least oncze a year and possibly tvnce in, years that weather conditions are favorable for heavy vegetative p:)wth. NOTM If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be: allowed to enter the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacte:ria in the lagoon that are treatinc- the waste; Alaint:enance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling. of ther lagoon and at least monthly and aft= major rainfall and storm events. Itemstober checked should include, as a. minimum, the followinm Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes —look for.- 1. seDaration of joints 2- ci�cks or breaks 3. accumulation of salts or minerals 4. overall condition of pipes .1 Lagoon surikce—look for. 1- undesirable vegetative growth 2. floating or lodged debris Embanlanent—look for. 1. settlement, =:�dng, 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 S. rodent damage Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damager due to waver action caused by strong winds. These waves can crode the lagoon sidewaUs, thereby wealmning the lagoca dam - A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave.�actiom If wave action causes senous damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffies in the -lagoon may ber used to reduce� the wave impacts. Any of these features could lead to erosion and weak=iing of the dam.: If your lagoon has any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert farnili2r 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 experL Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a. serious dertaldrig withpotentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless recommended by an. appropriate technical experL 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 tr - =P noise, or a large asnount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or PaL NOM- Pumping -systems should be inspected and operated,frequently enough so that you - are not completely "surprisedu by equipment failure. You should perform your -pumping system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some safety time should major- repairs be requirecL 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 ftill also. You should consider ining an Inventory of spare parts or pumps. Surface water diversion f6aturm are designed to carry aU surfam drainage waters (such as rainfbil runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste treWment or- storage structures- The only water- that should be coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your- flushing (washing) system pipes and the- rainfall that hits the lagoon- directly. You should inspect your diversion system for the following: I . adequate- vegetation 2. diversion capacity 3. ridge berm height Id—ent—ified problems should be corrected promptly. It is ad . le to inspect your system. during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to deterniine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts. You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then n=rcL the level again 4 to 6 hours aftrz the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainf� �mount (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 surfarx water diversion or there may be seepage into the lagoon from the surrounding land- Z� Lagoon Operation Startup: 1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil surfaces to avoid erosion, 2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of wate-r before waste loading begins, taidn- care not to erode lining or bank, slopes. Z> Z:� 0 3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible Dipe extender on the end o? the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the' !agoon during initial I filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of the lining. 4., When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the sDrm'g to maximize bacterial establishment (due to wanner weather). 5- It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy ID working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the M.Lagoon licluid volume. This seedina, should occour at least two weeks prior to the addition of wastewater. 6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH- If the pH falls below 7. 0, add agricultural lime at the rate of I pound per 1000 cubic feet of , lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. OptimLirn 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 speClaiist is recommended if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm season. Loadin,—, ne more frequently and reggulariv that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the bettet-the lagoon will fi�nction. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily am optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained - and recharged each day, also work weft. Practice water conservation —minimize, building water usage and spillage from lealdn- waterers, broken pipes and washdown through proper mainten;an= and water conservation. Afinimize. feed wastage and spillage by la=ping feeders adjusted. This will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon I k-J I- 19 0 1 (;.k I I I. Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and the full temporary storage level - Place visible mark= or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1). S= 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 thundfm=rm season. Similarly, irrigate in the late summer/early fill to provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter. 7he lagoon liquid hwel shouLd never be closer than I foot to the lowest point of the dam or embanlcment_ Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage level unless you are removing siudcre- tp Locate float purnp intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the hgaid surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible: Prevent additions of bedding mat=ials, long-sternrned 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. Maintairi strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges. Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embanlanent Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is full or before it fills 50 pea=nt of thf-- pennanent 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: R= of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by: proper lagoon =ng mechanical solids separation of flushed waste, cgamviry settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or 1�3�g feed wastage and spillage. Lagoon sludge that: is removed annually raffier than stored Iong term will: 0 have more nutrients, have more odor, and require more land to properly use the nutrients. Removal techniques: Hire a custom applicator. Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland; and soil incorporate. Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator, haul and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate. Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm Z� - 0 - an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back into la-oon- allow sludge to dewater­, haul and wrea� with manure smeader 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 applicadons to that field and crop reqmr=enL Waste apphcation raws will be discussed in, detail in Chapter 3. When removing siudge, you must a -so pay attantion to the liner to prevent darnage. Close attzntion by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains intam If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should stop the activity immediawly and not =ume 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 p osphorus and, heavy met al content =P � h than liquid- Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of erosion- Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphores� it should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. Aswith other - wastes, always have your lagoon siudgf-- analyzed for its nutrient �,alue. 'Me application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site- F,xtra prec:aution should be used to observe. the wind dire-ction and other conditions which could increase the concern of neighbors. Possible CmLqz of Lagoon Failure Lagoon failures -result in the unplanned discharge of wasmwater from the structure- Types of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, ovartopping, and breach of the dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for en=dng structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include: Modification of the lagoon structnre—an example is the placement of a. pipe in the dam without proper design iFd construction. (Consult an expe:rt in lagoon design before placing any pq= in dams-) Lagoon liquid levels —high levels are a safety :risL Failure to inspect and maintain the dam. Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon. Liner integrity —protect from inlet- pipe scouring, damage durin a slud ge removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater table. NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water -will soon cause gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large discharge of wwtewater and possible dam failure.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so -that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to mAximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infilitration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities,'and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre- cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10't6ns'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'sur ' face waters'.which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions shoUd also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the' waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to inject.the waste in the future, you need to'revise this . plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating waste are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage require- ments,should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseedec in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through -grazing, hay and/or silage. Where grazing, pldnts should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care.should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere with the stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three- times during the season, depending on time small - grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results. ** Acreage figures may exceed.total acreage in fields due to overseeding. lbs AW N (animal waste nitrogen) equals total required nitrogen less any commercial nitrogen (COMM N) supplied. 3 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE llowing legend explains the crop codes used in tables I and 2 above: CODE BH SG CROP HYBRID BERMUDAGRASS-HAY SMALL GRAIN OVERSEEDED TABLE 1 TABLE 2 TOTAL TOTALS FROM TABLES 1 AND 2 ACRES I LBS AW N USED 1 22.6 1 7480 0 22.6 AMOUNT OF N PRODUCED *** BALANCE El 7480 7290 -190 UNITS TONS AC This number must be less than or equal to 0 in order to fully utilize the animal waste N produced'.

NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions f ' or pe ' rio dic 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 1188 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. 0 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 5 attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of e water. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. Your facility,is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be�removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be within 1.7 feet of the top of the dike. if surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensurE that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables I and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of Nitrogen shown.in the tables may -make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you'receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre'and the -proper application rate prior to applying the waste., NARRATIVE OF OPERATION: WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE Plans and Specifications Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues, 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either has owns or has long term access to adequate land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own adequate'land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the.land for waste appli6ation 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 ani-nals, 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 applie ' d 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 "Buffersl.required by DEM. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers). 5. odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding— (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the NRCS Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance. 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or. when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal wast4- F WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a crop on bare soil. 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (see Standard 393 - Filter Strips) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right -of ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface wasters, drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge into water courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the application causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. 18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited -to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept moweA and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. 19. It animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and imple- menting a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. PAGE 20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., shnill-I be inspected on a regular basis to and 7, __ _ - WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE NAME OF FARM: BARFIELD BROTHERS OWNER / MANAGER AGREEMENT I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specifications and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the ap- farm named above. I proved animal waste utilization plan for the (we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and storage system or construction of new facilities will require a new certification to be submitted to the Division of Environmental Management (DEM) before the new animals are stocked. I (we) also understand that there must be no discharge of animal waste from this system to surface waters of the state from a storm event less severe than the 25 year, 24 hour storm. The approved plan will be filed on -site at the farm office and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District and will be available for review by DEM upon request. I I (we) understand that I must own or have access to equipment, primarily irrigation equipment, to land apply the animal waste described in this waste utilization plan. This equipment must be available at the appropriate pumping time such that no discharge occurs from the lagoon in a 25-year 1-day storm event. I also cer- tify that the waste will be applied on the land according to this plan at the appropriate times and at rates that no runoff occurs.

Facility Number: 31-394 Duplin County On August 26, 1997, staff from the Wilmington Office of the Division of Water Quality inspected your operation and the lagoons serving this operation. During the inspection, it was observed that lagoon #1 had insufficient freeboard. The level of this lagoon should be lowered and maintained in accordance with the NRCS guidelines and the State 2H .0200 rules governing animal waste management systems. USDA- NRCS guidelines require a minimum of one foot and seven inches of freeboard. This is based on th�,amount of storage space needed to contain a 25-year, 24 hour design storm event without a discharge. During the inspection, it was also observed that you are grazing the bermuda in your spray fields, which is not part of your certified animal waste management plan. If you intend to continue grazing your spray fields, this management practice must be immediatel� incorporated into your certified plan. In addition, your nitrogen balance must be recalculated- to account for the presence of cattle. We suggest that you contact your service company, local NRCS office, or Soil and Water District office for any assistance they may be able to provide to correct this situation. 127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wihnington, N.C. 28405-3845 a TelqkDne 910-395-3900 0 Fax 910-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmauve Action Employer V.

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 certirication form to DEM by December 31, 1997. New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31, 1993 must obtain signed certification before animals are stocked on the farm. Certification of an approved animal waste management plarrcan 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.
