Dear Mr. Lanier: JAN 2
13Y:
The Division of Water Quality (Division) received your sludge survey information on
January 19, 2010, for the lagoon at the above referenced facility. With the survey results, you
requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement. Due to the amount of treatment volume
available, the Division has determined that an extension for performing the annual sludge survey
is not appropriate.
The next sludge survey for lagoon I should be performed before December 31, 2010. Thank you
for your attention to this matter. Please call me at [phone] if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Larry W. Wade PE

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of
cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration ofthe realistic yields ofthe crops to be grown, their nutrient
requirements, and proper timing of applications to in aximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or
t-aher by-nmchints. (-nmm ere. W fertilizer and re--qi(h ia I from nrevious emns. An estimate of the auantity of so lid and liquid waste that will be applied on each
field in order to supply ihe indicated quantity of nitrown " each sour' ce is &ls-o included - A balance of the total manufe produced and the total manure
applied is inchided in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization ofthe manure generated by the operation.
Depending an the requirements of the crop and the nutrient content of the waste, some nutrients will likely be over or under applied if animal waste is being
ut:-!—;-ed. Waste sheudd be analyzed be -fore -each ap-pHicatien Md amnlial s1A tests are re�qioired if anirnaJ wpste is bt-,ing applied. Noil tests shmill he meA to
balance the nutrient application amounts with the realistic yields of the crop to be grown- Nutrient management plans may require that the application ofanimal
waste be limited so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive leve Is ofthis nutrient are detected in a field.

Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Richard R Lanier, authorizing the operation of the subject animal
waste management system in accordance with General Permit AWG 100000.
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 the Brown Farm, located in Duplin County, with an animal capacity of no greater
than the following swine annual averages:
Wean to Finish: 0 Feeder to Finish: 3300 Boar/Stud: 0
Wean to Feeder: 0 Farrow to Wean: 0 Gilts: 0
Farrow to Finish: 0 Farrow to Feeder: 0
If this is a Farrow to Wean or F=ow 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 September 30, 2009 and replaces the NPDES
COC issued to this facility with an expiration date of July 1, 2007. You are required to continue
conducting annual surveys of sludge accumulation in all lagoons at your facility; the one-year extension

conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An
adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information
must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design
capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a
modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either
wastewater flow or number of animals,
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is
a package containing the new and revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please Pa

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 Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit cionvey any property rights in either real or personal propefty.
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.
Per 15A NCAC 02T .0 111 (c) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100-foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any wetted area of a
spray field.
Per 15A NCAC 02T .1306, any containment basin, such as a lagoon or waste storage structure, shall
continue to be subject to the conditions and requirements of the facility's permit until closed to NRCS
standards and the permit is rescinded by the Division.
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 Gen�ral Permit after the expiration date of the
General Permit, an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration.

the Division prior to a name change or change in ownership.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to
apply for an individual permit by contacting the staff member listed below for information on this
process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding.

Division of Water Quality
On March 23, 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 August 20, 1999. In addition to this Notice of Violation (NOV), this
non-compliance is sub9ect to an appropriate enforcement action by DWQ. This action can
consist of one or more of the following: a civil or criminal enforcement action; an injunction;
and/or a requirement to apply for coverage under an individual permit. The action chosen will
be based on complete evaluation of all factors that resulted in the inadequate freeboard-, the
actions taken to restore the needed freeboard; and the actions being proposed to prevent the
problem from reoccurring.
To assist us in our review, please provide the Wilmington Regional Office with an
evaluation of the reasons for the freeboard violation(s) and a strategy to prevent future freeboard
violation(s). This evaluation and strategy must include but is not limited to the following:
Current Freeboard level(s)
Freeboard level records in the lagoon(s) for the past 12 months up to the date of submittal
Spraying records for the past 12 months up to the date of submittal

Dear Mr. Hunkele,
This memo is to address the 2001 annual inspection that was conducted for Mike Brown on
7/19/01 he had one facility (F.N,3 141
Farm 31-413 had several deficiencies:
1. Excessive Weeds & Woody Vegetation on Dike Walls of Lagoons, (NOD)
2. Excessive Sludge Levels. (NOD)
In order to address item one, Mr. Brown has informed me he plans to mow with
side -boy bushhog and follow with appropriate herbicide. Weather Permitting this
item should be addressed in a couple of weeks.
In order to address item two, Mr. Brown will explore a combination of means to
address sludge levels one being bioremediation and the other conventional sludge
removal. He plans to contact a contractor from both means and see if he can start
investing to gain more storage capacity.
I hope this information will address the Notice of Deficiency(s) that were noted, If you have any
questions please feel free to call,
With Kind Regards,

Facility No: 31-413

Dear Mr. Brown,
This is to notify Mr. Mike Brown, who holds a non -discharge permit for an animal waste disposal
system pursuant to 15A N CAC 2 H .0200 and North Ca rolina. G. S. 14 3.215, 1, of deficiencies of Animal
Waste Permit AWS 310413.
On July 19, 2001, 1 inspected your animal operation and the animal waste management system
serving this operation. The following deficiencies were noted during the inspection:
1. Excessive Weeds & Woody Vegetation on Dike Walls
During the inspection it was observed that the dike walls of both structures had excessive weed and
woody vegetation growth. These are in Violation of the General Permit under Part 2. Operation &
Maintenance Requirements; Section 10. Excessive weed growth and woody vegetation must be
controlled on inner and outer dike walls to prevent shading and subsequent death of grassed vegetation.
It also aids in detecting structural problems such as erosion and rodent or animal burrows during
inspections by animal inspectors or the facility owner. More frequent mowing or occasional use of
appropriate herbicides are need for control.
2. Lagoon Needing Sludge Reduction
During the inspection 'it was observed that the sludge level in the oldest lagoon may be beginning to
impact the proper functioning of the lagoon. I base this upon the age of this structure, the waste sample
report strength over the past few years, and its overall appearance. The NRCS is due to release new
phosphorus rules for land application in the near future and this will greatly impact the amount of
acreage needed for sludge disposal,

Therefore, I would highly recommend that the sludge level be determined and plans for a possible
reduction be created as soon as possible. Failure to do will only add to a more rapid increase in the
sludge level, increased odor, and higher waste sample reports which will hinder management of the
�evel without over -application of nitrogen.
To correct these deficiencies, please submit a detailed Plan of Action to the Wilmington
Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality that describes the actions to be taken to address these
deficiencies of Animal Waste Permit AWS 310413.
The proposed written plan of action must be received by this office within fifteen (15) working
days of the receipt of this notice, Upon approval and implementation of the plan, you must notify this
office when the corrective actions are complete. Contact your Service Company, county Soil & Water
district office, or county extension office for any assistance they may be able to provide.
If the deficiencies are not corrected, the Division of Water Quality may issue a Notice of Violation
and pursue additional actions including civil penalties, injunctive relief, or revocatlion of your Animal
Waste Permit AWS 310413.
If you have any questions concerning this matter please do not hesitate to contact either Mr.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: MICHAEL TIMOTHY BROWN
Location: PO BOX 365
KENANSVILLE NC 28394
Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: Expanding Feeder to Finish Swine
Number of Animals: 3300.00 hogs
(Design Capacity)
STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon
APPLICATION METHOD: Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or
groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be 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:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply
more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and
available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than
5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land
eroding at S or more tons per acre annually, but less than
10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter
strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste an 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 DWQ regulations.
Page: I

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production
and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should
be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30
days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown abov e. If
you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the
same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant
analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied.
Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible
so as t,o accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific
crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
3300 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 6270 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
3300 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 7590 lbs. PAN/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.

ILicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. interplanted) or

+ Dates shown reflect optimum uptake periods for nutrients. Waste
application may begin up to thirty(30) days prior to planting or
green -up of forages, and extend past optimum dates shown if
plant growth, pumping conditions, and PAN loading rates permit.
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 to reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too
high and this will definitely interfere with stand of
bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced
yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than
cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as
is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small
grain earlier. You may want to consider 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
I
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.

acres in the fields listed may, and m.o.st likely will be, more than
the acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showihg the fields to be used for the utilization of
animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land
application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient
rich anq will require precautionary measures to prevent over application
of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 1221 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 6105
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid
bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 20.35 acres of land. if you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 48.84 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25?6 depending on your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application
methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This
rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil
texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount
should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the
time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed
the nitrogen needs of the crop. -
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure
that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables I and 2. Failure Lo apply the recommended rates and
Page: 6

be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil
conditions.
Your facility is designed for 180.00 days of temporary storage and
the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every
6.00 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored
in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one
foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to
ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the
correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1 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
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,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
1pvel 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 -Pilter 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.
G. 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.
9. Animal waste shali 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.
Page: 9

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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 he at least So 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 a discharge or by over -spraying.
Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided
they have been approved as a land application site by a
litechnical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on
grassed waterways that discharges 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.
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.
Page: 10

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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 he kept on
site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables

OPERATION & MAINTFNANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority. It is especially
important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and
wet periods.
Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the
receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are
"tended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means
that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring,. irrigation according to
a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to
receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet
periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low -
marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to
maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste
utilization plan will allow it.
Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to
irrigate does not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods.
Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of
state law and subject to penalty action.
The rbutine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam.
Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative
covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to
maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be
based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain
a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas
should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or
equivalent.
Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be
done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of
these practices. . This should be done at least once a year and
possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for
heavy vegetative growth.
NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter
the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating
the v�ast&'.
Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of
the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be
checked should include, as a minimum, the following:
Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes --- look for:
1. separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4. overall condition of pipes

Lagoon surface --- look for:
I . undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
Embankment ---took for:
I . settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes
2. side slope stability ---slumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong .., �
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam.
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the lagoon may be
used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam., If your lagoon has
any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and
construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a threat
of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
undeitaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps ---check for proper operation of:
1 . recycling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding
noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or
replacement.
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently - enough so that you
are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should pe"rform your pumping
system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some
safety time should majoi repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time
to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full,
your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare
parts or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets,
and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste
treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be
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:
1. adequate vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3. ridge berm height

identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in
planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the
lagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoon Operation
Startup:
I 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 water before
waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the
end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial
filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of
the lining.
4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize
bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather).
5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon
liquid volume. This seeding 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 dgricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid
pH is between 7.5 and 8.0.
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate
biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended
if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm
season.
Loading:
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the
lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are
optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained
and recharged each day, also work well.

Management:
Practice water con servation---mini mize building water usage and
spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through
proper maintenance and water conservation.
Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This
will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon
Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and
the full temporary storage level.
Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the
minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1).
Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on
nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary Storage
will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly,
irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon
storage for the winter.
The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than I foot to the lowest
point of the dam or embankment.
Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage
level unless you are removing sludge.
Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid
surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible.
Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation,
molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon.
Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are installed.
Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges.
Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment.
Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is
full or before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage Volume.
If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a
pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:

proper lagoon sizing,
mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require more land to properly use the -nutrients.
Removal techniques:
Hire a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller
pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland;
and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul
and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm
an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back
into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader
onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge,,you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close
attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains
intact, If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should
stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the Sludge can be
removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible. --
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content
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. As with other
wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
could increase the concern of neighbors. .

Possible Causes or Lagoon Failure
Lagoon feures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types
of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the
dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for
ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include:
Modification of the lagoon structure ---an example is the placement of a pipe
in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in
lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams.)
Lagoon liquid levels ---high levels are a safety risk.
Failure to inspect and maintain the dam.
Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon.
Liner integrity ---protect frorn inlet pipe scouring, damage during sludge.
removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater
table. -
NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon cause
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly Cause a large discharge
of wastewater and possible dam failure.

System Calibration
Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation
conditions with relatively new equipment. 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 rate while decreasing the wetted diameter.
You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the
design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the
application uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure
results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the
sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged
intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating
below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application
uniformity.
For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment an a regular basis to
ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every
three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at
several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to
collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because
they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount
without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets,
jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used provided
the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring.
For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should- be located randomly
throughout the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling
guns,:sprink ' lers should be lo-cated along a transect perpendicular to the direction
of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both
sides of the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for all
nQn,uniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers
of more- than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation
dealer or technical specialist for assistance.

Bahiagrass
Bahiagrass (Paspalum noiarum) is a warm-scason perennial'grass that is grown on over one million
ac res i n Mi ss is sippl. - Most of thi s acre age i s in ce ntral and south -Mi ss I ssippi. B ahi agrass i s ideal ly
adapted to the droughty, sandy soils of the lower Coastal Plain. It will produce good grazing on the
upper Coastal Plain soils, cxccpt in extreme north Mississippi where the temperatures are low in winter.
The ability of bahiagrass to grow on ffic sandy soils of the Gulf Coast areas has been important in
developing beef cattle production there.
Balitagrass forms a deep, extensive root system in which few other plants are able to encroach after a
sod has developed. Where bahiagrass is well established, improved grasses such as "Coastal"
he rmu dag rass and " A I ici a" berm Lid a grw;s w i I I n ot -sutisfactori I y compete - B ahiagras s c an pe rs is i i n a
pasiure With limited managemen.t, but it will produce poor -quality forage and low beef gains. A high
perccntagc oi bahiagrass pasture is presently undcrfertilized and poorly used.
Fertilize and Lime
S o I I t c s r to dc te rmine I ime, phos ph ate, an d pot ash needs. Tc sting the sol Is and appl y i ng w hat i s ac t u a I I y
needed is the only way to assure balanced fertility and the most return from fertilizer. If a soil test
analysis is not available, apply the equivalent of 300 to 400 pounds 0-20-20 per acre at seeding time.
Aftci the seeds have germinated, apply about 60 pounds actual nitrogen per acre. If you did not firrie thc
p re v iou s y ear, app ly I to n p cr ac re a n d di sk in be fore seeding.
Bahingrass, with normal rainfall, can use about I pound of actual nitrogen for each day of active growth.
You can apply Lip to 200 pounds of actual nitrogen per acre annually if you graze or harvest the forage
as h ay � App I y 60 to 70 pou rids o f actua I n i tro gen at e ar- h appl ic at] on. If you mak e t he fi rst applic at i on of
nitrogen in early April, a second application can be used in late June or early July. You can make a third
app I icat i on I n lat e Augu st if you need grazing or bay
Apply extra nitrogen only to produce fo.rage that can be used for gr"Ing or hay. The April or spring
application is important in getting growth that is needed early. If nitrogen is to be applied only one time
during theseason, an April application will give the best results. Where phosphate and potash are
needed, y o u can appl y a corn pie te fe rti I i zer m i x ture, suc h as 13- 13 - 13 or equ i val e nt, at the rate of 4 00 to
600 pounds per acre for the spring fertilization.

Rotational GrAzing
Bahiagrass must be closely grazed or clipped to keep it tender and succulent for good quality. When
p rope rly fert i I i zed, th i s ra_ss w i I I tol erate c lose grazi n g w I chout damage � When bahi agrass h as grow n 8
to 10 1 nches ta 11, i L is to ugh, I o w q ua i i ty, and u np al atable. It produces I ittl c re w growth afte r i t re ache s
this stage. and the quality drops the lon6er it stands. High stocking rates and rotational grazing are
required.
A graz i n g p re ss u rc of 3 to 5 cow s pe r acre on a 10- to 14-day rotation is suggested for hi gh-q ua lity
grazing. Cattle will graze the grass more uniformly under this system and not spot graze as they do
under continuous grazing. You need three pastures. If surplus hay is left after the grazing period, yoti
call cut it for hay. After each grazing, clip the iall uneven areas to allow uniform regrowth. Sea ' tter the
m an u re pi les to encou rage un 1 form graz in g. A drag made of heavy tr-uck ti res ch ai n ed or w i re d toge I h e r
in the shape of a triangle works well and is inexpensive to construct. By using the three -pasture rotation
during cirrics when grass is plentiful, one pasture can be allowed to grow and be har-vested for hay.
Recommended Varieties
T he " Pe nsac o I a" v arie t y of bah i ag rass 1 s mos r pt e n ( i fu I I rt M. i s s iss i-ppi - I t s persi stence, ab I I I ty to g TO w on
poor soils, and excellent secd production have caused it to be more widely planted than other varieties,
"Tifton 9" bahlagrass, a larg.cr growing selection of Pcnsacola bahiagra�;s, was developed by Glenn
13 u rco n 2 L 010 COU S tal 111 aj n Ex peri me nt S Lai ion, T 1 fton, G e org i a. It was released i n Ma rc h 19 8 7 by th e
USDA-ARS and the University of Gcorgia. Tifton 9 is reported to have similar digestibility but strongcr
seeffling vigor than Pensacola bahiaerass.
"Argcn(ine" is a broadleaf variety, with seeding and spreading characteristics similar to Pensacola, but it
is usuaily not as productive as Pensacola. Argentine is better adapted to the fairly well -drained bottom
so i Is i hat rnai n ta in good n i o istu re du r I n g the s; u mme r an d i s t lie h i ghest q u a I i ty o f all the- b ah i agrass
varictics- It hLLs considerable resistance to leaf diseases but is easily damaged by hard freezes.
Establishment
'rhe besr sceding darc% for bahiagrass are February I to June I and September I to November 1. The
&-irlier you seed In the spring the better your chance for getting a sod the first year. Newiy seeded
bahiagrass fields must be proLected from overgrazing an ' d should be allowed to produce seed the first
yt:.Lr. tt usually takes one growing sea -son for a 600d sod to develop, Fifteen pounds of seed per acre will
produce a good.,;od by the sccond growing season, if allowed to reseed the first year. To get a good sod
the first year, use a seeding r3te of 30 pounds per acre.
Bahlagra,;s planted in Lhe &pring should be seeded on a well -prepared, firm seedbed, covercd lightly, and
culti-packed. Where land to be established in bahlagrass is prepared in the fall, the seeds can be planted
with a winter annual, such as ryegrass.

Good Yields
Pensacola bahlagrass adequately fertilized and harvested at least three and preferably four times will
produce up to 5 tons of hay per acre with average rainfall. Experiment Station research shows these
result,.: South Mississippi Branch Experiment Station: 3-year average (1973 - 75) - 5.4 tons dry
matter per acre; Coastal Plain Branch Experimi ent Station. 7-year average - 5.3 tons hay per acre; and
Southeast Louisiana Experiment Station: 7-ycar average - 5.3 tons dry matter peracre. These yields
w i I I requ i re fe rt i I i zation of abo u t, 200 pou rids ac tual nj troge n per ac re. The pH shou ld be maj nta i ned at
6.0 and the phosphate and potash applied as recommended for hay production by soil test. Each con of
h ay re mo ves a bout 3 0 pounds po I as h per acre. In adequate po (as h appl ic ation w i I I resu It i n low hay
yields, especially if hay is harvested from the sarric pasture for several years.
Renovation
On old grass sods whcre the soil is compacted, renovating or subsolling when the soil is dry to break thE
cornpacEion layer is beneficial. Response Is similar to a fertilizer application. Renovate on the contour,
using a renovating tool that [Las the spring in the tine. The renovator is better than a chisel plow, since
the chisel plow tears up the sod and requires disking to level the field. This renovation works well where
rycgrass and clover are being over-5ceded. Rcfer to Extemion Inforivation Shect 829 "Overseeding and
Sodseeding Pe rman en t Summ er Pastu res, " for more i n fo rm ati o n . C lo ve rs m ay be overseeded on
bahiavrass PaStUres alone or in combination With ryegrass.
Weed Control
Bahiagrass is tolerant to the broadleaf weed herbicides. Spray when the weeds are young. Current
infOl-Mation on chemical weed control can be found in ffin forage section of Extension Publication 1532

Summary of Forage Crop Fertilization
Guidelines
Fe rti I izc Pas tare an d hay crops according to the results of a soil test. For accura te i nformation, take a soi I
test cyery three years. However, fertilizer guidelines givi�n here are based on a soil low in phosphate and
potash a,; determined by the Soil Testing Laboratory at Mississippi State University and arc for use
wlicn no soil test is made.
The o_�tabllshftlent column refers to the fertilizer application at Planring. Once a stand is obtained,
fertilize according tO the column for -razing or hay. For coverage of some grasses, such as Coastal,
0
AlicW, and Tifton 44 bermudagrass, follow the maintenance rates during establishment. Nitrogen rates
for maititenaiice are split on most grasses. Nitrogen fertilizer is more effective if applied in small, more
frequent u�plicafions than if applied in infrequent large quantities. For grazing and hay, do not exceed
90 pounds of actual nitrogen ai any one application.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
------------------------------
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) with
min. odor control. The time required for the planned fluid level to be
reached (permanent + temporary storage) may vary due to soil conditions
flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system.
The designed 6 months temporary storage is an estimated volume
based on: 1) waste from animals; 2) excess rainfall after evaporation;
and 3) the largest 24 hour (one day) rainfall that occurs on the
average of once every 25 years. The volume of waste generated from
a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year
and from year to year. This estimate --is based on 7 inches of excess
rainfall which is equal to or exceeds the highest 6 months excess in
a year. The average.annual excess rainfall is approximately 8 inches.
Therefore, an average of a inches of excess rainfall will need to be
pumped each 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 maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin
pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from
building(sl. If the outlet pipe is not installed on the elevation to
begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed on this elevation
to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established
to stop pumping to maintain minimum treatment depth (6 feet).
Pumpin� 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 set,
center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. care should be
taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is stronVly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre -
charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive 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.
3. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva-
tion 51.3 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump -out when
the fluid level reaches elevation 49.3 or before the fluid depth is
less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable
bacteria). The design temporary storage, less 25 year storm
is 73927 cubic feet or 552971 gallons. As stated before, this
volume will vary considerably from year to year.

4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is
one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3
inch per hour.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the
lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed
to maintain a vigorous stand.
6 Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
e�tablish in vegetation.
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable
outlets.
8. -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. Do not pump within 200 feet of a
residence or within 100 feet of a well.
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.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS
----------------------------------------------------------
clearing:
All trees and brush shall be removed from the construction area
before any excavating or fill is started. Stumps will be removed
within the area of the foundation of the embankment and fill areas
and all excavated areas. All stumps and roots exceeding one (1)
inch in diameter shall be removed to a minimum depth of one (1)
foot. Satisfactory disposition will -be made of all debris. The
foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly before placement of
embankment material. Lagoon site (and pad site if needed) to be
stripped of topsoil (396)-and stockpiled for use on dike and -pad
slop" (2-311). The topsoiling quantity is in excess of amounts
specified on page one (1).
Cut-off Trench:
---------------
A cut-off trench (when specified) shall be installed as shown in
the plans.
Construction:
-------------
Construction of ' excavated and earthfill areas shall be performed to
the neat lines and grades as planned. Deviations from this will
require prior approval of the SCS. Earthfill shall be placed in
max. of 611 lifts and not placed in standing water. Compaction shall be
performed by the construction equipment or sheeps-foot roller during
placement. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using
the more impervious materials. Construction of fill heights shall
include ten (10) percent for settlement. To protect against seepage,
when areas of unsuitable material -are encountered, they will need to
be excavated a minimum o geet below grade and backfilled and
f
compacted with a SCS approved ma erlial (ie-CL,SC,CH). Refer to the soil
investivation information in the 1 ans for special considerations.
Precautions should be taken durin construction to prevent excessive
erosion and sedimentation. 111G_ I
Vegetation:
-----------
All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be
seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after
construction according to seeding specifications sheet.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 31-413
Duplin County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRRI, M2, DRYI, DRY2, DRY3, SLURI, SLUR2,
SLDI, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the

Dear Mr. Brown:
31
On November 30, 1998, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. It was
observed that the existing irrigation system is not consistent with the system outlined in your
Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). In addition, records were not kept
correctly and indicated that nitrogen has been applied to your spray field in.excess of that allowed
in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
As I discussed with you during the inspection, although minor in this case, excessive
nitrogen application is a violation of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan, and
subsequent infractions may result in a Notice of Violation. The existing irrigation system is not
consistent with the system outlined in your CAWMP. The system, or the CAWMP must be
revised to accurately reflect the layout and management of your operation. Any assistance
required in planning and implementing these or other appropriate best management practices may
be obtained from your service company or by contacting the local Soil and Water Conservation
District.
Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes and Rules to discharge
wastewater to the surface waters of the State without a permit and/or to fail to follow a certified
waste management plan. The Division of Water Quality has the authority to levy a civil penalty
of not more than $10,000 per day per violation.

Dear Mr. Brown:
On October 28, 1997 Staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality,
inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. It was observed that crops which
are not designated in the certified animal waste management plan are being grown in the spray fields.
USDA-NRCS guidelines require that all crops to be planted in fields designated for waste application
be listed in the certified animal waste management plan. To con-ect this situation, the appropriate crops, as
designated by the certified plan, should be planted in the spray fields or the ce-rtified plan should be amended
to include these crops. Waste application to these spray fields should be discontinued until the situation can
be corrected. In addition, as was discussed at the time of the inspection, the repairs to the low areas in the
spray field should be completed to prevent excessive ponding and runoff during waste application. ne inner
and outer dike waUs of the lagoon should be mowed, and the lagoon design for lagoon #1 should be in the
certified plan. We suggest that you contact your service company, local NRCS or Soil and Water District
office for any assistance they may be able to provide to correct the situation.
To remain a deemed penrutted facility, you must notify this office in writing within fourteen (14) days
of the receipt of this notice, what actions will be taken to comply with your waste management plan. Failure
to do so may result in the facility losing it's deemed permitted status, requiring it to obtain an individual non
discharge permit. -

Dear Mr. Brown:
This is to inform you that your completed registration form required by the recently
modified nondischarge rule has been received by the Division of Environmental Management
(DEM), Water Quality Section.
On December 10, 1992 the Environmental Management Commission adopted a water
quality rule which governs animal waste management systems. The goal of the rule is for
animal operations to be managed such that animal waste is not discharged to surface waters
of the state. The rule allows animal waste systems to be "deem ' ed permitted" if certain
minimum criteria are met (15A NCAC 2H.0217). By submitting this registration you have
met one of the criteria for being deemed permitted.
We would like to remind you that existing feedlots which meet the size thresholds
listed in the rule, and any new or expanded feedlots constructed between February 1, 1993
and December 31, 1993 must submit a signed certification form (copy enclosed) to DEM by
December 11, 1997, New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31, 1993 must
obtain signed certification before animals are stocked on the farm Certification of an
approved animal waste management plan can be obtained after the Soil and Water
Conservation Commission adopts rules later this year.
We appreciate you providing us with this information. If you have any question about
the new nondischarge rule, please contact David Harding at [phone]. -
