April 6, 2016 State of North Carolina Dept. of Environmental Quality Water Quality 1636 Mail Smice Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1636 Subject: Proposal of Dam Maintenance on Greg Brown 1 &2 Farm Dear Mrs. Christine Lawson: On March 16, 2016 1 inspected a potential lagoon dike issue at the Greg Brown 1&2 Farm at the request of Greg Brown of Kenansville, NC. Summary of Historical Findings: This lagoon was certified in May of 1977. Over the years, woody vegetation had encroached onto the lagoon dike. In late 2010 or early 2011 the woody vegetation and trees were cut down and cleared away. It is believed that roots from this vegetation had grown towards the lagoon water source. Once the trees were removed the roots died and began to rot away. These roots may be causing a passageway for water to seep through into the area observed to be ponding water. Recommended Dike Repair Proposal: I . The water level shall be maintained at Elev = 58.50 (5 1" freeboard) or lower for the duration of the repair construction. 2. On the southeastern lagoon dike; remove existing overburden of soil to Elev 63.00 being careful to not disturb the inside slopes or existing soil liner. 3. Following the attached drawing detail (see Sheet 2) remove the remaining soil overburden from the southeastern lagoon dike to Elev = 6 1.00; once again being careful to NOT disturb the existing soil liner of the lagoon. 4. Once the dike is deemed stable at Elev = 61.00 a keyway trench shall be excavated approximately 48" wide to a depth of 6' (Elev = 55.00) The width may vary based on available excavator bucket attachments. 5. With the keyway trench excavated, clay material from a predetermined suitable source shall be brought in to backfill the trench. The clay shall be placed in small lifts a maximumbf 9" tall and then compacted to achieve 95% of standard proctor maximum dry density. Fill the trench completely with compacted clay from Elev = 55.00 to Elev = 61.00. 6. Rebuild the southeastern lagoon dike to a level and uniforrn Elev = 63.00. The dike shall have a minimum top width of 12' and outside slopes shall be a minimum of 2:1 or flatter as the intersection with the property line allows. 7. Vegetation shall be reestablished. This dike repair and compaction should restore the lagoon to original design conditions. Respectfully, ro,v a—'R ii�- David S. Elkin, P.E.

These rates are based on soil bfpes; of the land to be irrigated, the RYE's of the soil, and the PAN required to efficiently grow the crops. crops in the fleids where waste is applied. This Nutrient Management Plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and per regulations. Annual soil tests are REQUIRED so that nutrient requirements can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important In implamenting this plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Factors included are: a. Always apply waste based on crop needs and the nutrient content of the waste. b. Do not over apply nitrogen. c. Soil types are important bemuse of different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and water holding capacities. d; Do not apply waste on saturated soils, wtten it Is rainft. or when the ground is frozen either of which could lead to surface runoff. e. Consider wind conditions to avoid drift and down wind odor problems. f. Waste can only be applied to actively growing crops or not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or to forages breaking dormancy. This plan Is based on waste being applied using irrigation. If the application method is changed, this plan will have to be revised because nutrient content varies depending on how it Is applied. This plan is based on waste being applied using irrigation. If the application method is changed, this plan Y411 have to be revised because nutrient content varies depending on how it Is applied.

These rates are based on soil types of the land to be irrigated, the RYE's of the soil, and the PAN required to efficiently grow the crops. crops in the fields where waste is applied. This Nutrient Management Plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and per regulations. Annual soil tests are REQUIRED so that nutrient requirements can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing this plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Factors included are., a. Always apply waste based on crop needs and the nutrient content of the waste. b. Do not over apply nitrogen. c. Soil types are important because of different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and water holding capacities. d. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the ground is frozen either of which could lead to surface runoff. e. Consider wind conditions to avoid drift and down wind odor problems. f.

Greg Brown: On April 28, 2003, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the Division of Water Quality (Division) to extend the expiration date of the Swine Waste Operation General Permit AWG100000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Perrnit. In accordance with your application received on February 5, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to R. Greg Brown, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS310476 which expired on April 30, 2003, This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Greg Bro%�n 1&2, located in Duplin County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual avera& of 1260 Feeder to Finish swine and the application to land as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWAV). If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 1, 2004. Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWN4P, 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 CANVIAP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase.in either wastewater flow or number of animals. If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed. The issuance of this COC does not excuse the 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 convey any property rights in either real or personal property.

To produce crops at the RYE's shown may require the use of commercial fertilizer to balance fertilization rates in crop rotations. This farm is producing 2,898 tbs. of nitrogen per year in the waste water and a 454 tbs. of nitrogen accumulates annually as sludge. To land apply the liquid portion in an acceptable manner requires the irrigation system to spread 1,168,020 total gallons annually. This involves spreading 43-01 actin/year over the farms 22.53 total acres, or an average of 1.91 inches is to be applied, on average, per acre. irrigated. Equal applications dur�ing the application window are for optimum conditions. The total amount of N allowed for the crop may be applied anytime within the application window shown as long as the RYE for the crop is not exceeded. Weather conditions or other factors may necessitate the waste being applied during any given month within the application window. Page 2 Sheetl Summary and recommendations 1. Total PAN produced per year (based on land application vAth irrigation) that must be accounted for in this cropping system equals: 2,898 lbs/year. 2.

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design foider that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in ' the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land. Amimal 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 o ' f management, unless there are reaulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients. t5 4. Ainimal waste shall be -applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre peryear. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acreper 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 redu�ed by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will he 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 floodincy (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance). ft 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. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during, rainfall events, or when the soil surface is frozen. 682299 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 07-25-2002 Specification Page I 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 errowth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be ft� considered. 10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for le2Chi Dg. Wastelnu trient 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 2 lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shaH not -be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters. 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 appliedin a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, -drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields'have been approved as a land application site. by g "technical specialist". Animal waste sh" not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water -courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shan be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from wash down faciJities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc, shall not be discharged into,the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation wM he 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 lim, ' ited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagroon areas should be kept mowed anid accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected -regularly for am, evidence of erosion, leakage, or dischaige- 682299 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 07-25-2002 Specification Pa,,-,e 2 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementinga "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 ofanimal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumpinor volume) of all waste ft 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. ep 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites wherewaste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrientsi resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soils -shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be -adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. -Poultry dry waste application recordi shall be maintained for a minimum of three'years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina reaWations.

Technical specialist to verify with owner/operator (1) all applicable setback distances, and (2) excavation of known tile drains in construction area before sitework begins. SHEET 1 OF 2 SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS ---------------------------------------------------------- FOUNDATION PREPARATION: ----------------------- The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be cleared of trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush, boulders,sod and rubbish. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoil from the lagoon and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior to placing the first lift of fill iiaterial to get a good bond. EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT: ----------------------------------- The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines, grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen soil, stones over 6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent they are suitable, excavated materials can be used as fill. The fill sh�ll be brought up in approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9 inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading equipment or standard tamping roller or other equivalent method. Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectible. NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials from the required excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height and with an impoundment capacity of 10 acre-feet or more fall under the jurisdiction of the NC Dam Safety Law. The height is defined as the difference in elevation from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike. Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.5 ft. ------ ------------------------------------------------- NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERIAL IS ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE SOILS REPORT. When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be over - excavated below finish grade to the specified depth as measured perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall be backfilled as specified to grade with a SCS approved material (ie - CL,SC,CH). REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN THE PLANS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS. SHEET 2 OF 2 Soil liner material shall come from an approved borrow area. The minimum water content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture content which relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneaded in the hand it will form a ball which does not readily separate. Water shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture content during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner material shall not be less than optimum water content during placement. The maximum water content relates to the soil material being too wet for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Proper compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum ASTM D698 Dry Unit Weight of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous lift shall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement of the next lift. The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted perme- abilit� of a clay liner, other than the type of clay used for the liner,'is the efficient construction processing of the compacted liner. The sequence of equipment use and the routing of equipment in an estab- lished pattern helps assure uniformity in the whole placement and compaction process. For most clay soils, a tamping or sheepsfoot roller is the,preferable type of compaction equipment. The soil liner shall be protected from the discharge of waste outlet pipes. This ' can be done by using some type of energy dissipator(rocks) or using flexible outlets on waste pipes. Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant. When these are specified, additional construction specifications are included with this Construction Specification. CUTOFF TRENCH: -------------- A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when shown on a typical cross section in the plans. The final depth of the cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation materials. VEGETATION: ----------- All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construc- tion according to the seeding specifications. Topsoil should be placed on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch shall be used if the recommended permanent vegetation is out of season dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should be established as soon as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates. REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS When tile drains are encountered, the tile will be removed to a minimum of 10 feet beyond the outside toe of slope of the dike. The tile trench shall be backfilled and compacted with good material such as SC, CL, or CH. SHEET 1 OF 2 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN ------------------------------ This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and 180 days of temporary storage. The time required for the planned fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for: (1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also included is storage for the 25 year - 24 hour storm for the location. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available. A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from building(s). If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping t(� maintain lagoon treatment depth. Pumping can be stdrted 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 strongly 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 temporary storage pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches the elevation 47.0 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump - out when the fluid level reaches elevation 45.1 . This temporary storage, less 25 yr- 24 hr storm, contains 35537 cubic feet or 265817 gallons. SHEET 2 OF 2 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. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details. 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 establish 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 dAtches. Do not pump with -in 200 feet of a residence or within 100'feet of a well. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ- mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

AWC .. April 24,1996 NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PLAN Grower(s): Farm Name: County: Farm Type: Farm Capacity, Storage Structure: Storage Period: Application Method: Greg Brown Greg Brown 1&2 Duplin Feed -Fin 1260 Anaerobic Lagoon 180 days 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 educe the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is �co 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 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 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 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 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 4dopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.): 1260 animals X 986 gal/animal/year. = 1,241,730 gallons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN PRODUCED PER YEAR (lbs): 1260 animals X 2.30 lbs/animal/year = 2,898-00 lbs 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. .

A positive number means additional acreage is required to utilize the nitrogen produced by the farm. NOTE: 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 N 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 Page: 3 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 interpiant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results. The following legend explains the crop codes listed in the table above: _C_LQP__C_Qd_e QrDp A Barley B Hybrid Bermudagrass - Grazed C Hybrid Bermudagrass - Hay D Corn - Grain E Corn - Silage F Cotton G Fescue - Grazed H Fescue- Hay I Oats i Rye K Small Grain - Grazed L Small Grain - Hay M Grain Sorghum N Wheat 0 Soybean L.b-s N_u_t6z_ad_LunLyJ"l - 1.6 lbs N / bushel 50 lbs N / ton 50 lbs N / ton 1.25 lbs N / bushel 12 lbs N / ton 0.12 lbs N / lbs lint 50 lbs N / ton 50 lbs N /ton 1.3 lbs N / bushel 2.4 lbs N / bushel 100 lbs N / acre 133 lbs N / acre 2.5 lbs N / cwt 2.4 lbs N / bushel 4.0 lbs N I bushel Acres shown in the preceding table 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 Page- 4 approximately 0.36 pounds of plant available nitrogen per animal per year in the in sludge based on the application method listed earlier. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 2268.00 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 7.56 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 18.14 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirement could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and applications. 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 designir 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. The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

It was observed that there are erosion cuts on the inner dike wall of lagoon #2 that could sacrifice the integrity of the dike wall. As discussed at the time of the inspection, the erosion cuts should be filled with a suitable clay material, compacted and reseeded with an appropriate vegetative cover. In addition, all trees and woody vegetation should be removed from the dike wall of lagoon #1. Bare areas on the dike wall of lagoon #1 should be revegetated. Containinent structures should be built around hydrants located in close proximity to field ditches. 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 permitted 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.

This is to infonn you that your completed registration form required by the recently modified'nondischarge rule has been received by the Division of Environmental Manage ment (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 "deemed permitted" if certain minimum criteria are met (15A NCAC 2H.0217). By submitting this registration you have met one of the criteria for being deemed permitted. We would like to remind you that existing feedlots which meet the size thresholds listed in the rule, and any new or expanded feedlots constructed between February 1, 1993 and December 31, 1993 must submit a signed certification form (copy enclosed). to DEM. by December 31, 1997. New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31, 1993 must obtain signed certification before animals are stocked on the farm. Certification of an approved animal waste management plan can be obtained after the Soil, and Water 0 Conservation Commission adopts rules later this year. We appreciate you providing us with this information. If you have any question about the new nondischarge rule, please contact David Harding at (919) 733-5083. enc: Sincerely, Steve Tedder, Chief Water Quality Section 'P.O. Box 29&35.
