Dear Jordan Heath:
In accordance with your Notification of Change of Ownership received July 28, 2015, we are hereby
for -warding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Jordan Heath, authorizing the operation of
the subject animal waste management system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
and land application of animal waste as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management
Plan (CAWMP) for HMR Farm, located in Duplin County, with a swine animal capacity of no greater
than the following annual averages:
Wean to Finish: Feeder to Finish: 2060 Boar/Stud:
Wean to Feeder: Farrow to Wean:, Gilts:
Farrow to Finish: Farrow to Feeder: Other:
If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may be one boar for each 15 sows. Where
boars are unnecessary, 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.
This COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2019, and shall hereby void
Certificate of Coverage Number AWS310395 dated October 1, 2014. 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 read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit carefully. Please pay careful attention to the
record keeping and monitoring conditions in this Permit. Record keeping forms are unchanged with this
General Permit. Please continue to use the same record keeping forms.

qrThe following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for sludge
utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for each source,
the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates shown in the second column.
Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At clean out, this
material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but
other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be lirrdting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high,
application of sludge must be carefully applied.
Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be used for
sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of
copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and lakes,
phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

fift The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage capacity available
at the end of each month of the plan. Available storage capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity in days
minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start date is a value entered by the user and is
defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or
holding pond is equal to zero.
Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design storage
capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage capacity, this indicates that
the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated. If available storage capacity is negative,
the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure. Either of these
situations indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the
structure's temporary storage capacity.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
1. Animal waste shall not -reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift,
manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation
or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is
prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns
or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the
waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the
waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is
within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste
application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to
secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the
operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving
crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for
realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data,
climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that
restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year.
Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but
less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where
runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard
393 - Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application.
Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land
application field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to
conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the
application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and
Climate in North Carolina" for guidance).
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such
that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does
not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order
to control odor and flies.
-------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------- ------------------------ I ... ------------------- ------------------------------
469823 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 7/11/2003 Specification Page I
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or
when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that
the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The
potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered.
10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted
crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on
these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted
to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior
to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the
following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from
a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any
residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste

Aulk
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than
those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public
right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or
wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to
prior converted cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land
application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on
grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other
grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that
causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks,
etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system.

469823 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 7/11/2003 Specification Page 2
Jh 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed
areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as
necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other
woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon
areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be
inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate
the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a
regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance
checklist should be kept on site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops
for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for
direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further
applications of animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of
the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons.
Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A
marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage
ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least
annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the
rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied
based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen
based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative
crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be
adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis
records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application
records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years.
Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5)
years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina

Crop Notes
The following crop note applies to field(s): 3
Bermudagrass Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Moderately Well Drained.
Adaptation. Well -adapted.
in the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. I to Mar. 3 1. Cover sprigs I" to 3"
deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and
wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a
rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing
conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced V to 1.5' in row.
For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus,
potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 lb/ac N in
the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240
lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts.
Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization
of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or
extension agent for assistance.
The following crop note applies to field(s): 3
Zr
Small Grain: CP, Mineral Soil, medium leachable
In the Coastal Plain, oats and barley should be planted from October 15-October 30; and rye from
October 15-November 20. For barley, plant 22 seed/drill row foot and increase the seeding rate by 5% for
each week seeding is delayed beyond the optimum time. See the seeding rates table for applicable
seeding rate modifications in the current NCSU "Small Grain Production Guide". Also, increase the
initial seeding rate by at least 10% when planting no -till. Oats should be planted at 2 bushels/acre and
rye at 1-1 1/2 bushels/acre. Plant all these small grains at 1-1 1/2" deep. Adequate depth control is
essential. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and infort-nation from private companies to
select a hig yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Apply no more
gh
than 30 lbs/acre N at planting. Phosphorus and potash recommended by a soil test can also be applied at
this time. The remaining, N should be applied during the months of February -March.

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for sludge:
utilization for the indicated accumulation period. 'I'licse estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for each source,
the number of aniaWs in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates shown in the second colurim.
Lagoon sludge coutams nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent At clem out, this
material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. in rwst cases, the priority nutricnt is nitmgen but
other nutrients including phDspborous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high,
application of sludge nmt bc carefully applied.
Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be used for
sludge application. If this is not possible, care should he taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of
copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vuliterable to surface water moving to streams and lakes,
phosphomus is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

Crop Notes
The following crop note applies to field(s): 3
Bermudagrass Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Moderately Well DTained.
Adaptation: Well -adapted.
In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. I to Mar. 3 1. Cover sprigs I" to 3
deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and
wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a
rate of 30 bulac is satisfactory to produce full grouriddover in one or two years under good growing
conditions. Tiflon 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced 1' to 1.5' in row.
For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus,
potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 lb/ac N in
the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240
lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts.
Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU` Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization
of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or
extension agent for assistance.
The following crop note applies to field(s): 3
. Small Grain: CP, Mineral Soil, medium leachable
In the Coastal Plain, oats and barley should be planted from October 15-October 30; and rye from
October 15 -November 20. For barley, plant 22 sccd/drill row foot and increase the seeding rate by 5% for
each week seeding is delayed beyond the optimum time. See the seeding rates table for applicable
seeding rate modifications in the current NCSU "Small Grain Production Guide". Also, increase the
initial seeding rate by at least 10% when planting no -till. Oats should be planted at 2 bushels/acre and
rye at 1-1 112 bushels/acre. Plant all these small grains at 1-1 1/2" deep. Adequate depth control is
essential. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and infannation from private companies to
select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Apply no more
than 30 lbs/acre N at planting. Phosphorus and potash recommended by a soil test can also be applied at
this time. The remaining N should be applied during the months of February -March.

Dear Christopher Allen Heath:
Michael F. Easley, Governor
William G. Ross Jr., Secretary
North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
Alan W. Klimek, F. E., Director
Division of Water Quality
May 1, 2003
Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. AWS310395
C&S Farm
Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Duplin County
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 AWGIOOOOO. 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 March 5, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of
Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to
Christopher Allen Heath, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment,
storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWGIOOOOO. The issuance of
this COC supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS310395 which expired on April
30,2003.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the managermnt
of animal waste from the C&S Farm, located in Duplin County, with an animal capacity of no greater
than an annual average of 2060 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 October 1, 2004. Pursuant to this COCj 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. Amy 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 CAWNT 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.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Pem-littee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to te
under this nerinit convey any jaroRErtv rights in either real or personal moperty. __ I =�

TYPE OPERATION: Feeder to Finish swine
NUMBER OF ANIMALS:' 2060 hogs design capacity
The waste from your animal facil ' ity must be land applied at a specified
rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant
nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of
commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where waste
is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the
limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application
cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the drop 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 capabities,- and available
water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land
eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre-
cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per
acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is
raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions
may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM
regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift
and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients
for crop proauction 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, interseeded
in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing,
hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed
when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle
should be removed when plants,are grazed to a height of four
inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed
for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let.small
grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or may). Shading may result if small grain gets too
high and this will definitely interfere with the ' stand of
bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced
yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than
cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as
is the normal situation, you -are encouraged to cut the small
grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or
silage two to three times during the season, depending on
time small grain . is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late
September or early October. Drilling is recommended over.

nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent
over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production
facility will produce approximately'762.2 pounds of plant
availab - le nitrogen (PAN) per year in the sludge that will ' need to be
removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting
the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well
special equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge.
WASTE uTILIZATION PLAK PAGE 5
See attached map showing the fields -to be used for the utilization of
waste water.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of
the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs.
This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure,
soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application
a -mount 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 s ' urface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it i�§ 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 ac:re and the proper
application rate prior to applying the waste.

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

AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR

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

NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied
while meeting the N requirments. Beginning in 1996 the Coastal Zone
Management Act will require farmers in some eastern counties of NC to
have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This
plan only addresses Nitrogen.

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

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than
the acres shown in the tables.
NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic
land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be
nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent
over application of nutrients or ot ' her elements. Your production
facility will produce approximately-.762-2 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.

!-'N,See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
f waste water.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of
the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs.
This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure,
soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application
amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the
soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen
applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage
and the -temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every
6 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in
your structure be within 1.7 feet of the top of the dike. ',
If surface irrigation is the method of.land application for this plan,
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure
that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 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.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REgUIRED 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 at 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 therk are regul,tions 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 he 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
inf Ktiatich rate such that runof f, does not occur of f site 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.
S. Animal waste shall not be applied to skurated sbils, during
rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such
a manner that the crop is non covered with waste to a depth that
would.inhibit growth. The potential for sqlt damage from animal
waste shculd also be considered.

OPERA' JN AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
------------------------------
0
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and
180 days of temporary storage. The time required for the planned
fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary
due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount
of fresh Later added to the system.
The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for:
(1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also
included is storage for the 25 year - 24 hour storm for the location.
The Klume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be
fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess
rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will not
be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage
volume must always be available.
A mamimum elevation is determined in each design to begin
pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from
building(s). If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to
begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation
to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established
to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth.
Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two
elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as
weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without
runoff or leaching.
Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable
method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set5
center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irFigatiQn. Care should be
taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre -
charged to 1/2 its capacity to preve6t encessive odors during
start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be
covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete,
flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not
be used for flushing after initial filling.
2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see'attachment)
before land application.
0. Begin temporary storage pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level
reaches the elevation 47.3 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump -
out when the fluid level reaches elevation 45.2 This temporary
storage, less 25 yr- 24 hr storm, contains 76612 cubic feet or
573059 gallons.
SHEET 2 OF 2
I
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is
one 11) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is O,Z
inch per hour. Refer to the waste utiliSation plan for further details.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the
lagoon &owed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed
to maintain a vigorous stand.
6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
establish in vegetation.
7� All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable
Outlets.
3. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around
waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will
not be applied -in open ditches. D6 not pump within 260 feat of a

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your
oper-at.ion are leaking, overflowing, or- running off the site. You should
NOT wait until wastes reach surface waters or, leave your property to
consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to
ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an
accessible location for all employees at the facility. The following
are some action items you should take..
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may
or may not be possible. Suggested responses to problems are
1 i st ed be 1 ow:
A. Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are:
a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam.
b. PUMP wastes to fields at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop.all flows to the lagoon immediately.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagdon.
B. Runoff from waste application field -action include-.
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
c. Incorporate waste to reduce- further runoff.
d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that caused the
runof f.
e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where
runoff occurred.
C. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers -action include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Close valves to eliminate further discharge.
e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
D. Leakage from flush system, houses, solids separators -act ions
in c I Ud E? :
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Make 5t-tre no siphon occurs.
d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid
s-eparators.
e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
E. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage
as opposed to flowing leaks -possible action:
a.' Dig a small sump or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a
- submer5ible pump, and Pump back into lagoon.
b. If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove
animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil.
c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side
walls and the lagoon bottom as soon as possible.
2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a. Did the waste reach any surface waters?
b. Approximately how much w as released and for what
d urat i on?
c. Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or
property damage?
d. Did the spill leave the property?
e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface
waters?
f. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach
surface waters?
g. Are potable water, wells in danger (either on or off of
the property)?
h. How much reached surface waters?
3. Contact appropriate agencies.
a. During normal business hours, call your DWQ (Division of
Water Quality) regional office, at 910-395-390el, after
hours, emergency number:919-733-3942. Your phone call

A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal
Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only
the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any
acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your
plan.
An evaluation by Patrick Fussell on 5/28199 was made to review the actual number of acres at your
facility that re�eive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of
the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X".
C�
Category 1:
The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please

billed following the issuance of the pern-lit and then annually thereafter on the anniversary of that date. Your animal waste
management system permit was issued on 3/4/99.
Your annual permit fee for the period of 3/4/99 - 3/312000 is $150.00. Your payment was due 5/6/99. Because

to 15 NCAC 2H.0205 (c) (4). and G.S. 143-215.1 (b) (3),
Effective 60 days from receipt of this notice, the subject permit is hereby revoked unless the required Annual
Animal Waste Management System Permit fee for your animal operation is received within that time. Operation of an
animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and is
4� ,
subject to the assessment of a civil penalty of up to $ 10,000 per day. Your payment should be sent to:

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

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.
