In accordance with your request to -change animal numbers without exceeding the permitted steady state
live weight, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Murphy -Brown,
LLC, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste mana'gement system in accordance with General
Pennit AWG 100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system. including, but not limited to, the management
and land application of animal waste as specified in the facility's �_"ertified Animal Waste Management Plan
(CAWMP) for Farm 3501 & 3102, located in Duplin County, with a swine animal capacity of no greater
than the following annual averages:
Wean to Finish: Feeder to Finish: Boar/Stud:
Wean to Feeder: Farrow to Wean: 4719 Gilts:
Farrow to Finish: Farrow to Feeder: Other:
If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may be one boar for each 15 sows. Where
boars are unnecessary, 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.
This COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2019, and shall hereby void
Certificate of Coverage Number AWS310514 dated September 25, 2015. 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 Pen -nit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting and
maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this facility.
Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number of animals
authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and
must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit carefully. Please pLay careful attention to the
record keepingand monitoring conditions in this permit. Record keep n

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 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.

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 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.

Additional Comments:
This plan revised to show a conversion at 3102 from farrow to feeder to
farrow to wean. 3501 will remain a farrow to finish. All other parameters will
remain the same as in the previous plan.
Hydrants 6-15 will be in a hay�graze combination. Half of the crop will be
removed by haying and half by grazing. Hydrant 16 will be for hay only.
Hydrants 17-19 will be in a two year rotation of corn, wheat, soybeans and a
small grain cover crop. The small grain cover crop is optional and is to be
harvested as hay when utilized.

NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct applicatio.n, or direct discharge during operation or land application.
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an
agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide
evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity,
allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the
owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Utilization Plan
when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of
application, 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.

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.

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.

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. 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 1 6A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

CAWMP AMENDMENT
3501 and 3102
This amendment is intended to extend the pumping window on Bermuda through
September 15 Ih , 2003. The crop on the farm was found to be in good health and at a stage
that is receptive to Nitrogen application. Cro E removal from the fields is expected to be
sufficient to receive PAN until September 15t , 2003. Wan-n temperatures and good
weather will contribute to growth and uptake of nutrients by the crop.

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent polution
of surface water andior 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 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.

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.
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.

SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The following table describes the annual nitrogen accumulation rate per animal
in the lagoon sludge
Farm Specifications PAN/vrlanimal Farm Total/yr
Farrow to Wean 0.84

1000 Farrow to Finish 4.1 4100
Wean to Feeder 0.072
Feeder to Finish 0,36
The waste utilization p�an must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at
agronomic rates, The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to
prevert 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
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.

Additional Comments:
This pl@ri revised to show a crop change for several hydrants. Hydrants 6-15
will be in a hay/graze combination. Half of the crop will be removed by haying
and hi�j� grazing. Hydrant 16 will be for hay only. Hydrants 17-19 will be in
a two year rotation of corn, wheat, soybeans and a small grain cover crop -
The cover crop is opflonal and is to be harvested as hay when utilized.

NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of Vie state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application.
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an
agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, 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.

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,

(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.

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.

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 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

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 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.

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 per�rneter 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.

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.

Additional Comments:
This plan revised to show a crop change for several hydrants. Hydrants 6-15
will be in a hay/graze combination. Half of the crop will be removed by haying
and half by grazing. Hydrant 16 will be for hay only. Hydrants 17-19 will be in
a two year rotation of corn, wheat, soybeans and a small grain cover croe.
The cover crop is optional and is to be harvested as hay when utilized.

NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application.
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an
agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide
evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity,
allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the
owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Utilization Plan
when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of
application, recievinq crop type, or available land.
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.

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,

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.

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 issuance of this COC does not excuse the Pern-�Uee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to anerate
under this permit convey anX 2rggeZ1y_Lil;hts in either real or versonal 2roverty.

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, 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

This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. 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.

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.

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-ey-e.ry��y.ear.s,-y:o.u-wjll-have,appr.oximately-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 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.

Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System
Farm #I and #2
Facility Number 31-514
Duplin County
A letter dated January 15, 1999 was- sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal
Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only
the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any
acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your
plan.
An evaluation by 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.

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. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will
review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by
kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install
or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer
must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification.
Please be advised that'nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.,
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Sonya Avant of our
Central Office staff at (919) 733-5083 ext. 571.

Dear Mr. Weston:
This letter is in response to your notice of violation response letter dated September 22
2000. 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. Please provide a copy of the referenced amendment to this
office in support of your claim. You also indicate that the records included a copy of the lagoon
design for Farm 41 and that I must have overlooked this during the inspection. 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.

Dear Mr. Shiver,
This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation letter for BOC #1 & 2 dated September 11,
2000. 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.
If you have any questions or need additional information concerning this matter, please do not
hesitate to call me at (910) 296-1800 ext. 238.

These overapplications of PAN are violations of Part 11. 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. Appropriate modifications should
be made such that all are in agreement.
The Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality is in receipt of your
Plan of Action and explanation for the violations.

Dear Mr. Shiver,
REC IVED
OCT 19 2000
This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement letter
for BOC #I & 2 dated October 3, 2000, received by our office on October 11, 2000. 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.
If you have any questions or need additional information concerning this matter, please do not
hesitate to call me at (910) 296-1900 ext. 238,

Subject: Response to your letter
Dear Mr. Mathis,
This letter is in response to your letter dated October 2, 2000, regarding the response to the
Notice of Violation letter for BOC #I & 2.
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.
If you have any questions or need additional inrormation concerning this mattcr, please do not,
hesitate to call me at (910) 296-1800 ext. 238.

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.

Permit need to be in the records for the facility. I am enclosing copies of &se for

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.

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

Dear Rick Shiver:
ECEIVED
JUN 2 6 2000
BY:
June 16, 2000
The purpose of this letter is to notify DWQ regarding specific PAN
application rates associated with the unprecedented rainfall events of last
summer and early fall. 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.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 31-514
Duplin County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludge&/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, a nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRRI, IRR2, DRY], DRY2, DRY3, SLURI, SLUR2,
SLD I, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the
DWQ staff at (919) 733-5083 ext. 571.

Dear Mr. Helminger,
RECEIVED
MAY 2 3 1997
[Py:
This letter is in response to the Notice of Deficiency received on May 20 for Farm 2, Brown's of
Carolina, Inc. 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.
Sincerely,
Sonya o son

Dear Farm Owner:
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 desigrfates an
Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be
submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities 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 examinations 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
call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt of our staff at91gn33-0026.

I (we) understand the operation and maintenance procedures established 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 will require a new certification to be submitted to -the Division of Environmental Management ,
before the new animals are stocked. I (we) also understand that there must be no discharge of animal waste
from this system to surface waters of the state either directly through a man-made conveyance or through
runoff from a storm event less severe that the 25-year, 24-hour storm. The approved plan will be filed at the
farm and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District.

All statements checked apply to this certification:
V/ The installed irrigation system has not been evaluated concerning noz7le size, spray pattern, spacing, PUMP sl=, pipe stmi
etc. It is the responsibility of the producer to operate the system with the proper components and to supply the required
maintenance to assure that no rusoff occurs.. 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.

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).
CERTITTCATION FORM
On the reverse side of this page is'the certification form which must be submitted to DEM before January 1, 1998. Assistance in
completwS the form can. be obtained from one of the local agricultural agencies such as the Soil and Water Conservation District, the
