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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 tha t 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, be/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 leve ' I of management, unless there are regulation's 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.

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 =� AMER Non -Discharge Permitting Unit 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Customer Service Center An Equal Opportunity Action Employer Internet http:IIh2o.enr.state.nc_us/ndpu Telephone (919)733-5083 Fax (919)715-6048 Telephone 1-877-623-6748 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking of the facility.

HEATH LOCATION: 231 DR. WILLIAMS ROAD KENANSVILLE NC 28349 TELEPHONE: 910-296-0295 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. _--ter WASTE UTILIZATION PIA( AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3 tons, etc.) .2060 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 3914 tons PAGE 2 AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 2060 hogs x- 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 4738 lbs.

TIME END TOTAL 10 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.

Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. . NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at.agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately'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.

WILLIAMS ROAD KENANSVILLE NC 28349 TELEPHONE: 910-296-0295 TYPE OPERATION: Feeder to Finish Swine NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 2060 hogs design capacity PAG E I 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.

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.

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. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAI( PAGE 5 !-'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.

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. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN RE9_U1REQ SPECIFICATIONS 10.

Yds Computed by Date SHEET 1 OF 2 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 residence or within 100 jeet of a Nell� Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ- mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

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 contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Patrick Fussell the necessary information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre determination, Please submit this information to Patrick Fussell, at 127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, NC 28405-3845, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any questions please contact Patrick Fussell at (910) 395-3900. If within 90 days you are unable to provide Patrick Fussell with the information you are automatically required to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2 below, within 180 days of receipt of this letter. 1617.Niail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone 919-733-5083 Fax 919-715-6048 An Equal Opportunity Affirniative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Notification for Wettable Acre Dete rmination Animal Waste Management System 11 Page 2 Category 2: Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates set in your Certifibd Animal Waste Management Plan. In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this designation, or a Professional Engineer. All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWQ within the next 180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility into compliance. These actions may include civil penafty assessments, permit revocation, and/or injunctive relief. Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting requirement.

Only the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any acre -age 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 5128/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X". Category 1: The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Patrick Fussell- the necessary information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre determination. Please submit this information to Patrick Fussel 1, at 127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, NC 28405-3845, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any questions please contact Patrick Fussell at (910) 395-3900. If within 90 days you are unable to provide Patrick Fussell with the information you are automatically required to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2 below, within 180 days of receipt of this letter. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone 919-733-5083 Fax 919-715-6048 An Equal Opportunity Affirniative Action Employer 50% recyded/10% post-cGnsumer paper Notification for Wettable Acre Dete.n-nin I ation Animal Waste Management System Page 2 Category 2: Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this designation, or a Professional Engineer. All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWO within the next 180 days. It the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation, and/or injunctive relief. Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan must be kept at your facility. DWO and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation Distdct Off ice. Please note that if you install or modify your irdgation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute" Local County Ordinance, or permitting requirement. If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Sonya Avant of our Central Office staff at (919) 733-5083 ext. 571. Sincerely, Kerr T.
