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 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate f ilter strips are established.
4.. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWO regulations,
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.
1 of 11
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change
methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application
methods are'not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste Is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could
allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall he made for the area receiving waste to
be flexible so as to 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
2 H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Comm ission.

This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant
available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above.
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the IN requirements.
In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In Interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), 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 definately 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 the
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, Bermuclagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludg a 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 504 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon
sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above.
If you remove the sludge ev" 5 years, you will have approximately 2520 pounds of plant
available nitrogen to util Ize. Assum Ing you apply this PAN to hybrid berm uda g rass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 8 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 20.16 acres of land. Please note that these
are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values
may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application
Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific
application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal.
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 the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
*This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount
of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application
amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility i s designed for > 180 days of tern parary storage and the temporary storage rn ust
be removed on the average of once every 6 rnonths. In no instance should the volume of the
waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of
freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment
is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste.

NUTRIENT 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 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 Utilization Plan
when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of
application, recievinq 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
m ay be a ppl ied to land e rod ing at m ore 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 disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift frorn'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.
Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.

NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
9 Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is
not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage
from animal waste should also be considered.
10 Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils
with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on these soils should be
held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients.
Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages
breaking dormancy.
11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following:
The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a
component of a swine farm shall be at ieast 50 feet from any residential property boundary
and 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.
12 AN m al waste shall not be a pplied closer than 100 feet to well s.
13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landowner.
14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland
provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical
specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge
directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at
agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16 Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall
not be discharged into the animal waste management system.

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

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: BUTCH NORMAN
Location: PO BOX 38
ROSE HILL HC 28458
Telephone: 910-289-4300
Type Operation: Existing Feeder to Finish Swine
Number of Animals: 1400.00 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,grcwn
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 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than
10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter
strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or
when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may
result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWQ regulations.
page: 1
ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
5. Wind conditions should also he 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 above. If
you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this
plan, Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the
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 to 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.)
1400 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 2660 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
1400 hogs x 1.84 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 2576 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.

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
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.

This number must be less than or equal to 0 in order to fully
utilize the animal waste N produced.
Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to.be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than
the acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing 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 and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application
of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 518 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 2590
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 8.63333333333 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 20.72 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25*1 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 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
Page: 7

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 I and 2. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may
make this plan invalid.

5. Cdors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after
waste application. waste should not be applied when there is
danger.of drift from the irrigation field.
6. when animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to
flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled
cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or
grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application
does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather
and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil
infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to
surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from
the site during application. No ponding should occur in order
to control odor or flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
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.

A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerris associated with Certified Animal
Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only
the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application, Any
acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your
plan.
An evaluation by Greer McVi cker on I Ifl 8/99 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 Stoney Mathis the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to Stoney Mathis, 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 Stoney Mathis at (910) 395-3900, If within 90 days you
are unable to provide Stoney Mathis with the information you are automatically
required to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2

Category 2:
TK 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

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 Ilsted 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.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 31 A65
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 appropri ate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRR 1. IRR2, DRY 1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR 1, 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 fOure 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

Mary Ann Sasser Farm
Animal Waste Operation
Duplin County
The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject application. Additional
information is required before we can continue our review. Please address the following by :
1. ne certified lagoon total capacity is different from the as -built lagoon volume check that was completed on
July 26, 1996 by Patrick Fussell, Angie Quinn, and Sharlette Davis. Please provide an explanation.
2, Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) lists the nitrogen uptake for Rye overseed as 100 pounds per acre. The
Sixth Guidance Memorandum to Technical Specialist dated August 18, 1997 states that only 50 pounds of
nitrogen per acre should he applied to small grain overseeded into Bermuda grass, Current guidance allows
for 100 pounds of nitrogen per acre under strict management practices as mentioned in the memo included
with this letter. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to Bermuda prior to August 31 and an
additional 50 pounds per acres of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) can be applied to the small grain between
September 15 and October 30 and also from February to March. Please have your technical specialist
revise the application windows on the Bermuda to April through August and on the small grain to March
through September or reduce the nitrogen rate on the winter annuals to 50 pounds per acre and incorporate
the attached memo,
3. Please provide a clearer map that shows each field and the corresponding acreage to be used for waste
application. It appears that field 2, tract 1959 is only 2 acres, however, the WUP has field 2 as having a
total of 33 acres (1.7 ac. + 2.0 au.). Otherwise, please revise the WUP to reflect the acreage shown on the
map.
Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist. Please
reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. All information should be signed,
sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below. The information requested by this letter must be
submitted on or before or the Division will return your application as incomplete in accordance with 15A N.C.A.C. 2H .0200
and your facility will be considered to be operating without a permit.
Please be advised that operation of the subject animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and will subject you to the enforcement authority of the Environmental Management
Commission.

Subject: NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY
Mary Ann Sasser Farm
Facility Number: 31-465
Duplin County
On July 16, 1997, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality
inspected your animal operation and the lagoon serving this operation. It was observed that you had no spray
application records for 1997. It was also observed that a non -certified operator had applied waste at your
facility. In addition, it was observed that you do not have an appropriate cover crop for spraying and that
part of your irrigation system is in a wetland area.
To correct these deficiencies,' you must start keeping records whenever you apply waste. All
registered and certified facilities were required to start keeping spray application records beginning this year.
These records should include the location, time, and amount sprayed. Also, when waste is applied, it must
be done under the direct supervision of an operator who is certified with the State to spray. In addition, the
weeds in -your spray field should be controlled and an appropriate cover crop should be promoted. Finally,
the portion of your irrigation system in wetlands should be removed. We suggest that you contact your
service company, local NRCS office, or Soil and Water Dinrict office for any assistance they may be able
to provide to correct these situations.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILAATION PLAN
Producer: BUTCH NORMAN
Location: PO BOX 38
ROSE HILL NC 28458
Telephone: 910-289-4300
Type Operation: Existing Feeder to Finish Swine
Number of Animals: 1400.00 hogs
(Design Capacity)
STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon
APPLICATION METHOD: Irrigation
a
The waste from youx animal facility must bee 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 wa9te 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 Dlant nutrients can be
balanced for realistic yields of the crop r--o 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 potent ' ials, 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 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than
10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter
strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining,
or when the surface 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
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 r-han 30
days pricr to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Iniectinc the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.,
This plan is based on the waste applicar-ion method shown above. If
you choose to change m�-,.thods in the future, you need to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for different aTplication methods are not the
same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based -on
typical nutrient content for this tj-pe of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based on the was7-e analysis report irom your
�waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant
analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied.
Llrovisions -shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible
so as to 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.)
1400 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 26GO tons
AMOUNT OF'PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR -
1400 hogs x 1.9 lbs PAN/hogs/year -= 2660 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.

Dates shown ref lect optimum uptake 1�eriods 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
September or early October. Dkilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagra'ss should be grazed or mowed to a
height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
This number must be less than or equal to 0 in order to fully
utilize the animal waste N produced.
Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the
acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
animal waste.
M
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
'Tbe waste utilization plan must cohtain p:�ovisions for periodic land
application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrienL--
rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application
of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will.produce
approximately 518 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 2590
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 6.63333333333 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 20.72 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 255c' depending on your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application
methods..
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The i-rrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or 1�onding 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 enbure
that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
Page: 6

amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application
rar-es and amounts.

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

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
reascriable 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
animais, method of utilization, or available 'land. 4
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, �._,the
nitrogen needs for real ' istic 'crop yields based on soil �ype,
available moisture, hisEorical data, climatic conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict
the rate of application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons
per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding
at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year
providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves
the f ield. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip)
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after
waste application. waste should not be applied when there is
danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to
flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled
cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or
grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application
does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather
and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.)
7,.-.k 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 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.
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.

SUBJECT: Crop Man6gernent Praclices for Select Forages
Used in Waste Managemeni
The followLing is a four -page surnnwy of suggestions for rmriaocrrient practims for sorne
0
forage crops thal can be used in was�e managernent plans. I'hese suggesti . oris are a result of
discussions �vlthjn the NC State UniveFsity Forage ProdUCLion Workgroup, a group comprised
of NC State faruhy and NRCS agency personnel with expertise witb the crops,
Them are limited documented research responses of some of thnse practices on the.many soils
and environments where these crops are cmently being grown. The Forage Production
Workgroup has taken the available data and used the combined expericrices and realistic
estimates of key people to come up with suggestions that wdl allow farn-12rs to incorporate
these crops and practices into waste management plans. As - data becotne available to
substantiate or refute- these suggestions, the Forage Production Workgroup will make
appropriate changes.
Bermuda 0 verseeded With Cereal Rye and Annual Ryegrass
Currently two types of "'ryegrass" are being used for winter overseeding in fields used for
animaf waste management. Cem-al is a winEer annual smallgrain that looks similar to
wheat, barley and oats. Annyal jydg[W-- is a winter annual grass that looks much, like tall
fescue. Both of these grasses, when growing during (fie winter on bermuda sod, can have
significant impact on subsequent bermuda yields. In effect, the totai yields from an acre
go wing t he co mbinat ion of bermuda w it h these winter annu als w ill usu ally yie Id between 1- 2
tons more per acre than bermuda growing alone for Elie year. Therefore, the total amount of
PAN /acre for the year is about 100 lbs more than for bermuda -alone. Although cereal ryc and
annual ryegrass are saitable crop,. for overseedui1g, the management of the crops are different
and thus practices implemented are dependent on the crop selected.

Standard 11-590,
Annual Ryegrass
Annual ryegrass should be pla-rited by October 15 to provide� the best opportunity to bact winter
growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into �hort, (less than 3
inches tall) bermuclagrass sod. If driffing is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short
bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implarrient. The seeding rate
for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for driHed seeds. The last
appEcation of animal waste is to be applied to the ber-muda prior to August 31. An
application of 50 lbs/acre of (PAN) -may be applied between September 15 and October 30.
An additional 50 lbs/acre of PAN rmy br, applied in February -March. If additional PAN is
applied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the bermuda must be reduced by a
corresponding amounE. This is necessary because ryegrass Frow(h during April -May will
reduce bcmiuda yields and shorten the tirm bermuda can fully utilize the. N. A harvest is
ri�quired by beading -or April 7, which ever comes First to prevent shading of emerging
bcrrnuda during April -May period. To, -fffvor the production of the bermuda, additional
harvests of ryegirass wOl be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height.
The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded - with annual ryegrass must be
reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard #590.

accordingly, Ovcvseedirig gaimarass with winter annuais is not currently advised because the
harvesting or gra7i . na m3nageniEnt of tlie winter aflnual crops during Februarv-April would bt
deinnienial to the survival of ganiagrass. Garnagrass should rioi rionnally be harvested or
grramd below 6-8 inches Stubble.
Application rates are to be based on the realistic N rates that address the N needs per ton of
hay, a realistic yield and an appropriate application window. When harvested as hay in the 24-
36 inch stage of growth, the N rate ranges from 40-50 lbs/con of dry maiter. The PAN rate for
grazed systems must be reduced in accordance with NRCS TechnicaJ Standard #390.
The application window for gamagrass is slightly earlier than for bermuda; gamagrass starts
'0
growing aboi�t 3-4 weeks earlier than Coastal bermudagir-ass and about 2-3 weeks earlier than
Tifton 44. Gamagrass is dormant from frost to March. The last application of PAN in the
summer.0ould be prior to Au gust 3 1.
Rescuegrass (i.e. Matua)
Rescuegrass is a cool season grass and makes most of its growth from March -June and
September -November. It should receive rriost of its N during tht Septernber-Ociober and late
February through May monctis. Limited data are available for realistic yields of Tescuegrass
on various soils 8nd a[ various N levels in Nortl) Carolina. However, until ftirther data is
collected the following suggestions may be useful.
1. On sandy, well drained to excessively drained soils, rescuegrass may yield 1.5- 3 times
fescue, assuming a uniform and dense stand of grass is present.

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing or running off site. You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters
or leave you property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every
effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible
location for all employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should
take.
1 Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may ore may not be
possible. Suggested respons(.,,s to sdme possible problems are listed belwo,
A. Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are:
a. Add sail to berm to increase elevation of dam.
b. Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water 'is entering lagoon.
B. Runoff from waste application field -actions include:
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
c. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that cause the runoff.
e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred.
C. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers -action include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Close valves to eliminate further discharge.
d. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
D. Leakage from flush systems, houses, solid separators -action include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Make sure siphon occurs.
d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid separators.
E. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed

Maintenance of a veaetativ- cover for the dam.
Fesmt or common b=udagrass are the most common vegetative
covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, ifneeded, to
maintain a vioorous stand. The amount of ferdliz-ar applied should be
t'
based on a soils =, but in the event that it is not Dractical to obtain
7
a soils test each year, the lagoon embankmant and surrounding areas
should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-IG-10, or"
ecuivzlent.
Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be
done by mowing, spraying, g
. grazing, chopping, or a combination of
these practices. This should be done at least on= 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
thalagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the laggpon that am trmfing
the waste.
Nfainter=ce inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of
the 14wn and at least rnonthly� a�id afL-x major rainfall and storm events. Items to be
checked should include, as a minimum, the following:
CP
Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes —look for.
L separation of joints
2. 'cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4. overall condition of pipes
La'000n sur, - ace-100k for:
1. undesirable veaetative growth

2. floaeng or lod-led debris
Embankment —look for:
1 settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes
ItD C?
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. ITiese waves can erode the lagc-on sidewa.Us, thereby weakening the lagoon dam.
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If
wave action causes se.-jous damage to a lagac>on sidewall, baffles in the -lagoon may b--
used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of tl=e features could lead to erosion and weakeTiLng of the dam.' If your lagoon has
any of these features, you should ca.11 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 d]ischarae. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical dxpem Any digghig into a lagpon dam with heavy equip,,Anent is -a serious
undertakink with zotentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommend7ed 6y anappropriate t=,hnical expert.
Transfer PumDs--ch---I- for proper operation of:
1. recyciling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or griiding-
noise, or a large amount of r.-bradon, may indicate that the purnD is in need or repair or
zeplaccment-
NOTE- Pumping systems should be inspxted and operated frequently enough so that you
am riot completely "surprisedw by equipment failure. You should pexform. yourpumphig
system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. Ilds will allowsome
saf�ty time should major repairs be riequired. Having a nearly fun lagoon is not.the time
to thirik about switching, repaitin g , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagma is RA
your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventuy of mara
parts or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets�
and parldng 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 rainfalI that hits the lagoon directly.
You should inspect your diversion system for the following:
1. adequate vegetation
diversion capacity
3. ridg:,c berm height
IdentiBed problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your systam
duxing or immediately following a heavy rain. if technical assistance is no--ded to
de=m2ine proper solutions, consult with appropriate expem.
You should record the level of the lagoon just piior to when rain is predicted, and then

SYSTern 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,
nozzie 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 uniformit�. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure
results in smaller drnplets, greater potential for dritt, and accelerates wear of the
sprinkJer nozzle. Clur-ging of nozzles can result 'in pressure increase. Pfugged
intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operming
below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application
uniformity. I
For the above reason, you should caNbrate your equipment on a regular basis to
ensure proper application rates and Ljniform�'ty- Calibration at least once every
three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flowat
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 -Lhe 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 conzainer for measuring,
For StaTiOnary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly
throughout the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling
guns, sprinklers should be located 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
nonuniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers
of more than 30 percent is ca'use for concern. You should contact your irrigation
dealer or technical specialist for assistance.

026E. See the map for the approximate location of each area.
Please see that attached CPA-026E for an explanation of each symbol. The adres beside ea ' ch
c-'assification is approximate and should not be used as accurwe acreages without a survey.
This determination is o* for the area delineated on the attached map, If you plan to clear more
acreage that shown on the map,.you should request another wetland determination for the area.- In
most cases, if wetlands are present, the wetland area has been flagged on the ground and you
should follow the flags in trying to delineate your wetlands. The map is only an approximate
representation of what was flagged on the ground. You may wish to havethe wetlands surveypd
for future reference and to av6id unintentional disturbance of the wetlands. Any areas marked NI
on the attached map have not been evaluated for wetlands and should not be altered prior to having
a wetland evaluation performed 'on these areas.
This determination has the concurrence of US Army Corp of Engineers for purposes of Section 404
of the Clean Water Act. Prior Department of the Army permit authorization will be required for any
discharge of excavated or fill material into waters or wetlands on this property. A permit is not
required for work restricted entirely to high ground. For project -specific Department of the Army
permit requirements concerning your proposal, please contact Mickey Sugg at 910-261-4811.
Please use Action ID when referring to permits associated with
wetlands identified by this letter.
If you have any questions concerning this determination please contact me. Also, if you disagree
with this determination, you have the right to appeal. Under the appeals process, your preliminary
technical determination will become final within 30 days of your receipt of this letter unless you
request either of the following options:
1'. -, You may request a field visit by our office to review with you the basis of our preliminary
tecl��ical determination, answer any questions you have concerning the determination, and to
gather additional information from you concerning this determination.
2. You may request that mediation be used in an attempt to settle your concerns with the
preliminary determination. If you choose mediation, please inform our office so that we can make
appropriate arrangements for participating in your mediation session. We can also provide you with
a list of trained mediators.
The Natural Fkaisources Contervation Servke
Is an agency of the
United States Department of Agdcufture. AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER
Mediation is a process in which a trained, impartial person, (a neutral mediator) helps look at mutual
problems, identify and consider options, and determine if we can agree on a solution. Unlike an
appeal, mediation is private, confidential, and informal. The mediator will help us work together to
evaluate the information in your case and to identify alternatives that will assist us in resolving the
dispute. The mediator has no decision making authority. Unlike the appeals process, a mediator
cannot decide what is "right" or "make" anyone do anything. If the mediation is successful, the
mediator may help us reach an agreement and document that solution in writing.
ff you choose mediation, you can request that the NRCS pay 1/2 of the reasonable costs associated
with securing the services of a trained mediator when the services are provided on other than a
voluntary basis. NRCS will have final discretion 'over what is considered appropriate and reasonable
costs.
final technical determination will ' be issued within 30 days -,fter the field visit, if one is requested,
i6d/or within 30 days following the completion of mediation. Fhe Wal technical determination,
whether it is the result of the expiration of the 30 day period following receipt of this preliminary
technical dotermination or receipt of a final determination may be appealed to the Duplin County
F
;.rirm Service Agency county committee at the address below. We will forward a copy of VOur
administrative record to the county committee for their use in deciding youe appeal, should You
decide to appeal to ihe committee.
