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,

The waste from this facility must be land applied at specified rates to prevent pollution
of surface and/or groundwater. 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.
Actual application rates should be based on the waste analysis report for this facility.
This nutdent management plan, If followed. meets the requirements for compliance with
15A NCAC 2H.021 7 as adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

NOTE: The ownedoperator of this facility has the option of cutting either field above for hay as needed
for his cattle production needs. Cutting hay would remove more nutrients than grazing and the
crops grazing needs has produced a negative N balance as shown In Table 2 below.
The ownerloperator of this facility has the optkm of overseeding any or all of the bermuda
flelds as needed. No overseeding is required to reach a negative N balance. If overseeding is
used, up to 50 lbs of N may be aWled per acm If the resulting wnall grain forage is harvested,
the N applied can be added to the total used1- If not harvestaid. the amount of N applied must be
deducted from the foilowing crops PAN application rate.

The nitrogen balance shown in table 2 should be equal to or less than 0 to fully utilize the nutrients
produced by the swine production on this farm. 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 lbs. of nitrogen per year in the waste water and an 454
lbs. 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 acrinlyear over the farms 22.53

a. Always apply sludge based on crop needs and the nutrient content of the sludge.
b. Do not over apply nitrogen.
c. Soil types are important because of different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange

Compliance Timeframes:
If the sludge level is equal to or higher than the stop pump level of the lagoon or if the sludge level
results in an elevated waste analysis, a sludge management plan that meets the requirements of SIB
Interagency Group Guidance Document 1.26 must be prepared by a technical specialist and submitted to
DWQ within 180 days. Work to reduce the sludge level must begin within another 180 days.
Compliance with NRCS Standard 359 must be achieved by the expiration date of the current permit, July
1,2007.
If the sludge level is non -compliant, but below the stop pump level of the lagoon, compliance with NRCS
Standard 359 must be achieved by the expiration date of the current permit, July 1, 2007. If future
sludge surveys do not show improvement in sludge levels, DWQ may require the owner to develop a
sludge management plan that meets the requirements of SB Interagency Group Guidance Document
1.26.

The waste from this facility must be land applied at specified rates to prevent pollution
of surface and/or groundwater. 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. 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 will have to be revised because nutrient content varies depending onhow it is applied.
Actual application rates should be based on the waste analysis report for this facility. \()A,,
This nutrient management plan, if followed, meets the requirements for compliance with
15A NCAC 2H.0217 as adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Duplin County
Dear R. 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. A CRA

The waste from this facility must be land applied at specified rates to prevent pollution
of surface and/or groundwater. 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.
r, . 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. 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 will have to be revised because nutrient content varies depending on how it is applied.
Actual application rates should be based on the waste analysis report for this facility.
This nutrient management plan, if followed, meets the requirements for compliance with
15A NCAC 2H.0217 as adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift,
manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during
operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface
water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design 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.

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

the management of animal waste from the Greg Brown 1&2 Farm, located in Duplin County, with an
animal capacity of no greater than 1260 Feeder to Finish and the application to land as specified in the
Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until April 30, 2003. Pursuant to this COC, you
are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC, with no discharge of wastes to
surface waters. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining th6 required monitoring data and
operational infonnation must be established for this farm. Any increase in waste production greater than
the certified design capacity or increase in number of stocked animals above the number authorized by
this COC will require a modification to the CAWNW and this COC and shall be completed prior to
actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-

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.

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. . I

*A negative number reflects the total lbs of additional nitrogen needed to achieve yields on
acreage listed in chart. 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.

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.

*This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount

Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the

maintenance procedures emblished in the approved animal waste management plan for the farm named above and will
implement these procedures. I (we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and
storage system or construction of new facilities wiII require a new certification to be submitted te'I%e Division of
Environmental Management before the new animals are stocked. I (we) understand that there must be no discharge of animal
waste from the storage or application system to surface waters of the state either directly through a man-made conveyance or
from a SLOrm event less severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm and there must not be run-off from the application of animal
WaSEe. I (we) understand that run-off of pollutants from lounging and heavy us� areas must be minimized using technical
standards developed by the Namral Resources Conservation Service. The approved plan will be filed at the farm and at the
office of the local Soil and Water Conservation DiStriCL I (we) know that any modification must be approved by a technical
specialist and submitted to the Soil and Water Conservation District prior to implementation. A change in land ownership
requires written notification to DEM or a new ce ' ication (if thefip?ro ed plan is changed) within 60 days of a title awsfer.

This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping. forms (i.e. IPRl, IRR2, DRYI, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or pennitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the

Dear Mr. Brown:
On September 4, 1998, staff from the Wilmington Regional 6ffice of the Division of Water
Quality, inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. 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.
Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes and Rules to discharge
wastewater to the surface waters of the State without a permit and/or to fail to follow a certified
waste management plan. The Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources has the
authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $10,000 per day per violation,

De,ar Mr. Brown:
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study
Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly,
requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more
swine by January 1, 1997. The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a
designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an
Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be
submitted by January 1, 1997 for all faciliti ' es in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a
certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H
.0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty.
If you have questions concerning operator training or examinatio'ns for certification, please
contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office.
Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for
the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this requirement please

Dear Mr. Brown:
On July 25, 1995 staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Environmental
Management inspected your animal operation and the lagoon serving this operation. It was observed that
the lagoon had approximately 4 inches of freeboard.
The following corrective actions should be taken: NRCS guidelines for Best Management Practices
require that animal operations maintain at least one foot of frceboard plus additional storage to contain the
rainfall from a 25 year 24 hour storm.event. This totals approximately 19" of required lagoon freeboard.
Your lagoon should be pumped down and spray irrigated on a suitable cover crop to maintain at least 19"
of freeboard.
To remain a deemed permitted facility, all corrective actions must be made witifin seven (7) days.
Failure'to do so may result in the facility losing its deemed permitted status, requiring a certified waste
management plan and certification form for the facility to be submitted prior to the December 31, 1997
deadline, and being required to obtain an individual non discharge permit for the facility.

Dear Mr. Brown:
. 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.
