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 m ' aturity, 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. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

Actual total acres in the fields listed may. and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. 4 of 8 SLUDGE APPLICATION: The following table describes the annual nitrogen accumulation rate per animal in the lagoon sludge Farm Specifications PAN/yr/animal Farm Total/yr 1446 Farrow to Wean 0.84 1214.64 Farrow to Feeder I 1000 Farrow to Finish 4.1 4100 Wean to Feeder 0.072 Feeder to Finish 0.36 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 5314.64 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 every 5 years, you will have approximately 26573.2 pounds of plant available nitrogen to utilize, Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 88 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 212.5856 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 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 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. 5 of 8 Application Rate Guide The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

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, recieving crop type, or available land. 3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical -data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients. 4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (See USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance). Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offs1te 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 surface is frozen. 1 of 3 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 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, shall not be applied closer than 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 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. 2 of 3 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fericed, 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. 3 of 3 Murphy-Brovvm LLc November 24, 2003 I a R _1J§ Hive , ate NCDENR, DWQ Wilmington Regional Office 127 Cardinal Drive Extension Wilmington, NC 28405-2845 PO Drawer 856 2822 Hwy. 24 West Warsaw, NC 28398 Tel: 910-293-3434 Fax: 910-293-3138 RECEIV ]D E V"z NOV 2 6 2DO3 B 7Y: Subject: Revised Nutrient Utilization Plan for Murphy -Brown, LLC Farms 3501 & 3102, Facility No. 31-514, Duplin County (Old BOC Farms I & 2) Enclosed please find a copy of the revised Nutrient Utilization Plan for the above -mentioned farm.

Box 856 Warsaw, NC 28398 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 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, 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. I of 8 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.

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 m2nner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutr�ent 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 tl�an 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 adequat6 filter strips are established, 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozbn 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 8 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 ievels 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 addMonal 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 appJed to maintain pH'in the optimum range for specific crop production. JMs was�felulikzation,pfan, if carried out, meets the reqjjremenis for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H' -, 0'2 1 7 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

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. IT) interplanted fie�ds ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants shou�d 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 srnal� grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. April or May). Shad�ng 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 eadier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the time small grain is planted �n 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 cut to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

Your production facility will produce approximately 5300 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon sJudge based on the rates of accumulation listed above. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 26500 pounds of plant available nitrogen to utilize, Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayiand at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 88 acreas o f lanclL If you apply the sludg e to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 212 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 plaht 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 1�at an irrigation system is instated 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 situallons, the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen lim�tation. The maximum I appkcai�on amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for >1 80 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months, In no instance should the v6ume 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 operaied properly to apply the c�orrect rates to the acres shown in 1he 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. 5 of 8 I 0�1 Application Rate Guide The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

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, lie/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 appkation. 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. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (See USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips), Odors can be re ' duced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 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 tr) 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). 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 files. Animal waste shall not be appJed to saturated soils, cludrig rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. I of 3 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 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 darnage 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/nutr;ent loading rates on these sofls 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. k 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 least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal, Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilit�es sited on or after Oclober 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer than 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 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 industriai waste from washdown facilities, showerSr tC"etS1 sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system, 2 of 3 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on ak 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 kepl rnowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for qv�dence 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 possiblllt� 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 An�rnal 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 rnark 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-deieri-nining 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 rnonitored 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. 2 3 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. 3 of 3 Murphy -Brown, LLC 4/3/2009 2822 Hwy 24 West P.O. Box 856 Warsaw, NC 28398 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN 19 Grower(s): Murphy -Brown, ILLC Farm Name: 3501 & 3102 County: Duplin Farm Capaci y: Farrow to Wean 1446 #3102 Farrow to Feeder Farrow to Finish 1000 #3501 Wean to Feeder Feeder to Finish Storage Period: - >1 80 days Application Method: Irrigation The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This -waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 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 wbste 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 rn�tximize 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.

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 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

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 requiremen1s. 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 bermuclagrass. 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. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. 4 of 8 SLUDGE APPLICATION: The following table describes the annual nitrogen accumulation rate per animal in the lagoon sludge Farm Specifications PAN/yr/anim2l Farm Total/yr Farrow to Wean 0.84 1200 Farrow to Feeder 1 1200 1000 Farrow to Finish 4.1 4100 Wean to Feeder 0.072 Feeder to Finish 0.36 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 5300 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 every 5 years, you will have approximately 26500 pounds of plant available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 8a acreas of land, If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 212 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 is designed for >1 80 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 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. 5 of 8 Application Rate Guide The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

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. 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. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less then 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (See USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 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 land application field. 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). 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. 1 of 3 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 prJor 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 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, shall not be applied closer than 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 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., shao not be discharged into the animal waste management system, 2 of 3 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 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 ail 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. 3 of 3 Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking of the facility. Per NRCS standards a 100 foot separation shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon or any wetted area of a spray field.

E., Director Division ot Water Quality May 1, 2003 Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. AWS310514 Farm #1 and #2 Swine Waste CQllection, Treatment, Storage and Application System Duplin County 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 AW0100000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit. In accordance with your application received on February 13, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Brown's of Carolina, Inc., authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWGIOOOOO. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS310514 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 Farm #1 and #2,'Iocated in Duplin County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 1200 Farrow to Feeder, 1000 Farrow to Finish swine and the application to land as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 1, 2004. Pursuant to this 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. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number -of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals. If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evalu ' ation 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 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, Alw ' ays 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 appiied 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. 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. 10f8 B00119060047 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 appfication methods are not the same. The estmated 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 addibonal 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 utillizabon 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, fe, tons, etc.)* Capacity Type Waste Produced per Animal Totai Farrow to Wean 3212 galJyr gal/yr 1200 Farrow to Feeder 4015 gal/yr 4,818,00 gal/yr 1 n 0 —Rarrow-to-Finish— Wean to Feeder 223 gaL(yr -1 0,585,000—gal/yr--- gal/yr Feeder to Finish 986 gal/yr gal r Total 15,403,000 gal/yr AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN PRODUCED PER YEAR (lbs): Capacity Type Nitrogen Produced per Animal Total Farrow to Wean 5.4 lbs/yr I bstyr 1200 Farrow to Feeder 6.5 IbsJyr 7,800 lbs/yr 1000 Farrow to Finish 26 lbstyr 26,000 lbs/yr Wean to Feeder 0.48 lbs/yr lbstyr Feeder to Finish 2.3 lbstyr lbstyr Total 33,800 lbstyr Applying the above amount of wastels a big job.

The farm should produce adequate piant 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 bermucla), 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 smallorain is planted in the fail. The ideal time to interplant 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 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 5300 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above.

Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 88 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 212 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 very 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 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 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. 5 of 8 B00119060051 Application Rate Guide The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

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 Brian Wrenn on 8/5/99 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 below, within 180 days of receipt of this letter. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone 919-733-5083 Fax 919-715-6048 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50 % recycled/1 0 % post -consumer paper Notification for Wettable Acre Detennination Animal Waste Management System Page 2 Category 2: Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation- Commission to conduct Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this designation, or a Professional Engineer. - All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWO within the next 180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation, and/or injunctive relief. Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan must be kept at your facility.

In your letter, regarding the application of animal waste to soybeans in the summer of 1999, you indicate that there is an amendment that had been misplaced which allows for the planting of soybeans rather than corn.

I saw no copy of the referenced lagoon design during the inspection. Furthermore, I reviewed my comments on the inspection report with you prior to my leaving the facility, after which the referenced lagoon design was still not produced, If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at 910-395-3900 ext. 203.

The following will serve as both a Plan of Action and an explanation for the noted violations. On August 23, 2000 Mr. Mathis performed an inspection at the above -mentioned farm. At that time, it was noted that there were several PAN over applications that occurred on the 1999 bermuda crop and the 1999-2000 rye crop. These overages were due to Brown's of Carolina staff managing the excessive amounts of water received from the hurricanes and the extremely wet winter that followed in the most environmentally sound manner possible. That is, irrigation events were made on the "highest" and "driest" application sites to avoid runoff or discharges. To aid in preventing over applications in the future, an irrigation schedule is being produced weekly which prioritizes the fields or pulls that should receive irrigation. This gives the OIC at the facility another tool to use in making decisions regarding irrigation. In regards to the applications of animal waste to soybeans in the summer of 1999, there is an amendment that was misplaced and not attached to the waste plan that allowed for soybeans to be planted instead of corn due to weather related reasons. As a result of locating this amendment, the noted violation should be removed from the list. The other noted violation was for not having a lagoon design for Farm #1. This noted violation should also be rcmo-vcd from the list because the records included a copy of the lagoon'design. Mr. Mathis must have overlooked this during his inspection of the records. Also noted during the inspection were several items that need to be addressed. They are as follows: 1. Some of the solid set sprinklers located near the edge of some of the fields do not have stops on them and appear that they would spray into adjacent woods that arc not a part of the CAWW. This will be investigated and resolved prior to any applications being made through these sprinklers, 2. The CAWNT does not address hydraulic loadi ' ng rates, Also, the acreage shown on the map and IRR-2 forms do not match the acreage shown in the CAWMP. This has been resolved by revising the CAWMP such that all are in agreement and hydraulic loading rates are addressed, 3. The copies of the Certificate of Coverage and General Permit in the records were not the most recent copies. A copy of the most recent Certificate of Coverage and General Permit has been placed in the records. BROWN'S OF CAROLINA. INC. 785 HWY 24 EAST P.O. BOX 487 - WARSAW, N.C. 28398 - PHONE (910) 296-1800 Brown's of Carolina recognizes that the over applications are noncompliant with the permit however, BOC staff has continued to manage the excess water from nature without failure of the structure, runoff or discharge. Since no measurable harm to the environment has occurred, no hather enforcement action should be pursued.

It is necessary to rescind the September 11, 2000 notice of violation due to information that you have provided since that notice was issued. This letter also serves to notify Brown's of Carolina, Inc., who holds Certificate of Coverage AWS310514 under Swine Waste General Permit AWG 100000 issued pursuant to North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1, of violations of the General Permit. On August 23, 2000, Mr. Stonewall Mathis of the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality inspected the referenced animal operation and the animal waste management system serving this operation.

Operation and Maintenance Requirements, Section 4 of the General Permit which requires that in no case shall the land application rates exceed the Plant Available Nitrogen rate for the receiving crop. An amendment of the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) which allowed for the planting of soybeans instead of corn in the summer of 1999 was not readily available for inspection. This amendment is part of the CAWMP. This is a violation of Part 1. Performance Standards, Section 4 of the General Permit which requires a copy of the CAWMP be readily available at the farm. Place a copy of this amendment with the required documents for the facility and ensure that it is readily available for inspection. Some solid set sprinklers which are located near the edge of the land application fields do not have stops on them and it appears that they would spray waste into areas adjacent to the field if the system is activated. This needs to be investigated and appropriate modifications made to ensure that animal waste remains on the designated land application sites. The CAWMP for the facility does not address hydraulic loading rates. Hydraulic loading rates need to be addressed as part of a CAWMP. Copies of the Reissuance of Certificate of Coverage and the most recent General Permit need to be in the records for the facility. I am enclosing copies of these for your use. The acreage shown on the irrigation map and the IRR-2 forms does not agree with the acreage shown in the waste utilization plan.

The following will serve as both a Plan of Action and an explanation for the noted violation. On September 25, 2000, Brown's of Carolina, Inc. reported that both Farm #1 and Farm #2 lagoons had 18" of freeboard. On September 26, 2000, a Plan of Action was submitted for both lagoons. This Plan of Action stated that the lagoon at Farm #2 came within the 19" freeboard level due to water being pumped to it from Farm #I a couple of weeks earlier along with the additional rains that came just after this pumping event occurred. It also stated that irrigating onto existing bcrmuda fields as soon as weather and field conditions permitted would lower the levels in both lagoons. This was accomplished as both lagoons were reported at 19" of freeboard as of September 30, 2000. To aid in preventing the recurrence of high freeboard levels in the future, an irrigation schedule is being produced weekly which prioritizes the fields or pulls that should receive irrigation. This gives the OIC at the facility another too] to use in making decisions regarding irrigation. Brown's of Carolina, Inc. recognizes that the high frecboard levels are non -compliant with the permit however, this office has notified the Wilmington Regional Officc of every occurrence and submitted Plans of Action as required by the permit within the allotted notification time frames. Also, the Plans of Action have been met on time and without failure of the structure, runoff or discharge, With ' this in mind and since no measurable harm to the environment has occurred, no further enforcement action should be pursued.

In your letter, regarding the application of animal waste to soybeans in the summer of 1999, you asked for a copy of the amendment that allowed for soybeans to be planted instead of corn. A copy of the amendment is attached. Also noted in the lefter, you indicated that you saw no lagoon design for Farm #1 during the inspection and that upon reviewing the inspection report prior to leaving the facility, no design was produced. The rmson the information was not produced at that time was due to the lateness of the day and your desire to attend a church meeting that evening. As for the lagoon design for Farm #1, there was not a copy of the standard spreadsheets in the record book. However, there was a sealed copy of the plan design, a copy of the storage calculations, and a copy of a letter from the engineer describing various details of the design. I've seen less information than this in records before and nothing was ever said about not having the design in the records. Based on the aforementioned information, I still insist that these noted violations be removed from the files.

September 11, 2000 Page Two These overapplications of PAN are violations of Part IL Operation and Maintenance Requirements, Section 4 of the General Permit which requires that in no case shall the land application rates exceed the Plant Available Nitrogen rate for the receiving crop. Animal waste was applied to soybeans in the summer of 1999. Soybeans are not designated to receive animal waste application in the Certified Animal Waste Mana-ement Plan (CAWMP) for the facility. This is a violation of Part 1. Performance Standards, Section 2 of the General Permit which incorporates the CAWMP into the General Permit and specifies that any violation of the CAWMP shall be considered a violation of the General Permit. Some solid set sprinklers which are located near the edge of the land application fields do not have stops on them and it appears that they would spray waste into areas adjacent to the field if the system is activated. This needs to be investigated and appropriate modifications made to ensure that animal waste remains on the designated land application sites. The CAWMP for the facility does not address hydraulic loading rates. Hydraulic loadtng rates need to be addressed as part of a CAWMP. The lagoon design for Farm 4 1 was not available for inspection. The lagoon design is a component of the CAWMP. This is a violation of Part 1(4) of the General Permit which requires that a copy of the CAWMP shall be readily available at the farm.

Where trees do not exist, the area must be managed to include crop rotation. JI. OPE �_ATION AND MAINTENANCE REOLTIREMENTS The collection, treatment, and storage facilities, and land application equipment and field,,, shall be maintained at all times and properly operated. 2. A vegetative cover shall be maintained on all land application fields and buffers in accordance with the CAVW. No waste may be applied upon fields not included in the CAWMP, 3. Lime -must be applied, as needed, to maintain soil pH in the optimum range for crop production. 4. Land application rates shall be -in accordance with the CAWMP. In no case shall land application rates exceed the Plant Available Nitrogen rate for the receiving crop or result in runoff during any given application. S.- Application of animal waste onto land which is used to grow crops for direc't human consumption (e.g., strawberries, melons, lettuce, cabbage, apples, etc.) shall n I ot occur followina the planting of the crop or at any time during the growing season, or in the case of fruit bearing -trees, following breaking dormancy. Application of arlimal wastes shall not occur within 30 days of the harvesting of fiber and food crops for direct human consumption that undergo further.processing. -6. If manure -or sludges are applied on conventionally tilled bare soil, the waste shaU be .incorporated "into the soil -within two (2) days after -application on the land., This requirement does not. -apply to no-till.fields, pasture, or,fields where cro ps are actively growing. 7. Domestic and/or -industrial wastewater from -showers, toilets, sinks, etc. shall.. not be dischar,aed into Ahe animal waste collection, treatment, storage and application system. Washdown of stock tUers, owned by and used to -transport animals to and from this farm on] ' y, will be ' permissible -as long as the -system can accommodate the additional -volume.

An inspection of�the -waste collection, Ireatment, and Storacre structuTes and runoff control measures -shall be conducted at a frequency to 'insure proper operation but at least monthly -and -after storm events. For example, 'lagoons, storacre ponds, and other structures should be inspected for evidence of crogion, 1eakage, damage by animals or discharge. Any major structural repairs (to 'lagoons or waste storage,ponds) must have written documentation -from a technical specialist certifying proper design and installation. 'However, -if -a piece of equipment -is being replaced with a piece of equipment of the identical specifications,' no technical specialist approval is necessary [i.e. piping, reels, -valves, pumps (if the GPM capacity is not being incfeased or decreased), etcl 2. If not already installed at this facility, a waste -level gauge to monitor waste levels shall be installed within 60 days.of issuance of the COC under this general permit. This gauge shall have readily visible permanent markings indicating the maximum liquid level at the top of the temporary liquid storage volume, minimum liquid level at the bottom of the temporary liquid storage volume, top of the dam elevations. Where storage ponds are utilized, only a gauge indicating the maximum liquid level at the top of the temporary liquid storage volume and top of dam elevations need be installed. Caution must be taken not to damage the integrity of the liner when installing the gauge. Waste lagoon and storage pond levels shall be recorded weekly on forms supplied or approved by the DWQ. For level gauges.already installed, the gauge shall have at a miniMUM. Teadil� visible permanent markings indicating the maximum liquid level at the top of the temporary liquid storage volume and, minimum hquid level at the bottom of the temporary liquid storage volume. 3. A representative Standard Soil Fertility Analysis, including pH, copper, and zinc, shall be conducted annually on each application field receiving animal Waste. The results of these tests shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for a mmimurn of three years and shall be made available to the DWQ upon request. 4. An analysis of the animal waste shall be conducted as close -to the time of application as practical and at least within 60 days (before or after) of the date of application. This analysis shall include the following parameters: Nitrocen' Zinc C Phosphorous Copper 5. Records, including land application event(s) and removal of solids to an off-sim.' location(s) records, shall be maintained by the Perinittee.in chronological and legibl. e form for a minimum of three.years. These records shall be maintained on forms provided or approved by the'DWQ and shall'be readily available for inspection. 6. Regional Notification: .. The Permittee shall report by telephone to �the �appropriate Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following events: a. Failure of any component of the animal wast ' e collection, treatment, storage and land application system resulting in a discharge to surface water*s. ' b. Any failure of the animal waste treatment and disposal system that renders -the facility incapable of adequately receiving, treating or storing the'animal waste and/or sludge. c. A spill or discharge from a vehicle transporting animal waste or sludge to the Tand application field which results in, a discharge to surface waters or an event that poses a serious threat to surface waters. d. Any deterioration or leak in a lagoon/storage pond that poses. an immediate threat to the environment. 4 e. Failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage greater d= or equal to that required in Condition V (3) of this General Permit. f. Overapplying animal waste either in excess of the limits set out in the CAWMP or where runoff enters surface waters. g. Any discharge that bypasses a lagoon/storage pond resulting in a discharge to surface waters or that poses a serious threat to the environment. For any emergency which requires immediate reporting after'normal business hours, please contact the Division of Emergency Managementat 1-800-858-0368. The Permittee shall also file a written report to the appropriate DWQ Regional Office of the occurrence within 5 calendar days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report shall outline the actions taken or proposed to,be taken to correct the problem and to ensure that the problem does not recur. The requirement to file a written report may not be waived by the DWQ Regional Office. IV. INSPECTIONS Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the DWQ may, upon presentation of credentials and in accordance with reasonable and appropriate biosecurity measures, enter and inspect any property, premises or place on or related to the collection, treatment, storacre and land application system at any reasonable time for the purpose of V determining compliance with tl�s permit; may inspect and obtain �a copy of any records that must be kept under the terms and conditions of this permit; and may obtain -samples of the animal waste, groundwater, soil, plant tissue, or surface water. V'. GENERAL CONDITIONS The issuance of a COC under -this permit shall ' not relieve the Permittee of the respongibility for damages to surface waters or ground waters resulting from the animal operation. 2. 'The Pern-Littee shall designate a certified animal waste management system operator to be in charge (OIC) of the.animal waste management system. The animal waste management system shall be operated by the OIC or a person under the OIC's supervision. 3. The maximum waste level in ]agoons/storage. ponds shaU not exceed that specified in the CAVTNP. At a minimum, maximum waste level for lagoons/storage ponds must not exceed the level that provides adequate storage to contain the 25-year, 24-hour storm -event plus an additional I foot of structural freeboard. In addition to the above requirements, 'for -new and expanding farms with lagoon designs completed aft i er September 1, 1996, -storage must also be provided for the heavy rainfaU factor for lagoons without an outside drainage area. 0 In the case of lagoons/st.orage ponds in series that are gravity fed, the 25-year, 24-hour storm event and/or the heavy rainfall factor storag e tb e ,e rcquirem nts for e system may b designed into -the lowest lagoon/storage pond in the system. However, adequate freeboard must be designed into each of the upper lagoons/storage ponds to allow sufficient storage to prevent the waste ' level from raising into the'structural freeboard while the storm water is draininc, into the lowest lagoonin the system. C k 4. Should the DWQ have good reason to believe that any activities conducted pursuant to this permit may cause or contribute any waste, directly or. indirectly, to'be intermixed with the waters of the State, the DWQ may require any monitoring (including but not limited to groundwater, surface water, animal waste, sludge, soil and plant tissue) necessary to determine the source, quantity, quality, and effect of such waste upon the waters of the State. Such monitoring, including its scope, frequency, duration and any sampling, testing, and reporting systems, shall meet 0 applicable Environmental Management Commission requirements. "Good Reason" may be based on the findings of a related Feder4 State, Comrr�ssion or DENR authorized study or,report, or other evidence showing that violations of State water quality standards or other applicable environmental standards bave occurred or may occur. I 5. Failure to abide by -the conditions and limitations 'contained in this permit, the facihty's CAVYWP and/or.any COC issued under this permit may subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the DWQ in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes and may include the requirement to obtain an individual non -discharge permit and/or the modification of the animal waste management system 6. The issuance of a COC under this pen -nit does not excuse the Perniittee from the obligation to comply withal] applicable statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances (local, state, and federal). 7. If -animal production ceases, the Permittee shall close the lagoons/storage ponds in accordance with Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) lagoon/storage pond closure standards or develop and -implement an animal waste management plan in accordance with NRCS standards. Closure shall also include notifying the DWQ and submittal of the Animal.Waste Storage Pond and Lagoon Closure Report Form to DWQ- Water Quality $ection-Non -Discharge Branch within 15 days of completion of closure. 8. The annual perrhit fee.shaU be paid by the Permittee within thirty (30) days.after being billed by the Division. Failure to pay the fee accordingly constitutes grounds for revocation of the COC granting coverage under this -General Permit 9. Failure of the -Permittee to maintain, in -full force and effect, lessee and landowner agreements which are required in the CAVW, shall constitute grounds for,revocation of the QOC granting coverage under this General Permit. I 10. 'This 'permit allows 'for the distribution of manure up to 4 cubic yards per visit to 'individuals -for personal use. 11. The Groundwater Compliance Boundary for the disposal system constructed after December 31, 1983, is established at either (1) 250 feet from the waste structures and from the waste disposaI area, or (2) 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is closest to the waste structures and the waste disposa] area. If this facility was constructed prior to December 31, 1983, the Compliance Boundary 'is established at either (1) 500 feet from the waste disposal area, or (2) at the property boundary, whichever is closest to the waste disposal area. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to the requirements of 15A NCAC 2L and the Division in addition to the penalty provisions applicable under the North Carolina General Statutes.

We now have completed a review of this issue by examining the CAWMP's and associated land application records for all company owned farms. Based on that review, no land application records have been changed, but we have corrected all of our computer printouts to reflect actual pounds of PAN as applied, without any "rollover" into subsequent crop periods. Attached is a list of all hydrants on our company owned farms that operate within the Wilmington Regional Office. This means that our records accurately show a number of instances where land application practices were carried out in excess of specified PAN rates in order to preserve lagoon integrity and properly manage water levels that occurred as a result of multiple rainfall events in excess of the regulatory 25-year, 24-hour storm event. In carrying out land application practices last fall and winter, and on into the spring of this year, all practicable measures were taken to minimize and prevent over - application of PAN, and to prevent surface water runoff. Our consistent policy was to use the "highest and driest" fields to draw down high lagoon levels that were caused by the unprecedented string of rains we had in excess of the 25-year, 24-hour storm level. Company farm lagoon levels before these storms generally were in very good shape, thus documenting good farm management and winter season preparedness. In addition to initial land application practices designed to protect lagoon integrity, much of the excess water volumes that resulted from these multiple storms in excess of the 25-year, 24-hour storm level remained in lagoons throughout the winter of 1999 and into the spring of this year. We ask that DWQ take these factors into account and determine that, where farms properly had prepared last summer, that no enforcement action be taken for excess PAN applications made as a result of these storms. Should you have any questions or desire to meet to discuss the information in this letter, please give me a call.

As discussed on site during inspection, the outlet of the erosion path was blocked immediately and as much water as possible was removed and applied to the application field where sufficient crop cover was present. This erosion path was then reworked and seeded as a waterway wWch was its original intent. Other areas disturbed by the cattle within the sprayfield were treated in the same manner. These areas will be monitored closely for any follow-up procedures required, In addition, we understand the concern regarding trash in lagoons and are scheduling a "clean-up week" in the near future for our employees on the farm. We feel that by doing this we will heighten the awareness and prevent excessive trash build-up in the lagoons. If you have any further questions regarding this matter, please feel free to call.

The producer is encouraged to have an irrigation specialls4 possibly the dealer where the system was purchased, prepare an operation and maintenance plan for the irrigation system so that the produce knows how to operate the equipment to meet the non-&dLarge requirements. The waste management plan, for this operation is based upon yields higher than what is now recommended by NRCS; however, these yields are obtainable under high levels of manngemenL This increase in projected yields is nwA*=y since the NRCS plan prepared for this operation at the time of construction was based upon these higher yields and the producer followed NRCS guidelines when buildng this operation. Because of limited acres for laud application, and because the original NRCS waste utilization plan did not require additiotial acres for buffers and irrigation inefficiency, it may be necessary for the producer to operate half sprinklers, on solid set systems, along field edges and ditch�s. Also for traveling irrigation systems, a pull directly adjacent to the ditch with only a 180 degree -pumping radius may be needed to irrigate the entire field. Extreme caution should be exercised when applyig waste close to ditches and wetlands to avoid any discharge. z F32'4iJC-V vw-.7 e,45 —oe CERTMCATION FOR EXISTING FEEDLOTS INSTRUC`TIONS FOR CERTIFICATION OF APPROVED ANIMAL WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANS FOR EXISTING ANIMAL WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS SERVING FEEDLOTS REQUIREMENTS/PURPOSE In order to be deemed permitted by the Division of Environmental Management (DEM), the owner of any existing animal waste -anagement system constructed and operational before January 1, 1994 which is designed to serve greater than or equal to. the aniinal populations listed below is required to submit a signed certification form to DEM before January 1, 1998. Pasture oper-ations are exempt from the requirement to be certified. 100 head of cattle 75 horses 250 swine 1,000 sheep 30,000 birds with a liquid waste systern The certification must be signed by the owner of the feedlot (and manager if different from the owner) and by any technical specialist designated by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission pursuant to 15A NCAC 6F .0001-.0005. The techaical specialist must verify that all applicable operation and maintenance standards and specifications can be met. Existing systems am not required to meet design and construction standards and specifications. Although the actual number of animals on the facility may vary from time to time, the design capacity of the waste handling system should be used to determine if a farm is subject to the certification requirement. For example, if the waste system for a feedlot is designed to handle 300 li�gs but the average population will be 200 hogs, then the waste management system requires a certification. This certification is required by regulations governing animal waste management systems adopted by the Environmental Management Commission (EMC) on December 10, 1992 (Title 15A NCAC 2H .0217).
