Dear Willette Weston:
The Division of Water Quality (Division) received -your sludge survey information on February
29, 2012. With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement
for the lagoon at Romeo Weston Farm facility. Due to the amount of treatment volume available,
the Division agrees that a sludge survey is not needed until 2014.
The next sludge survey at this facility should be performed before December 31, 2014. Thank
you for your attention to this matter. Please call me at [phone] if you have any questions.

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of
cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements,
and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure
other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and I iquid waste that will be applied on each field
order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is
included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

The hrigation Application Factors for each field in this plan are shown in the following table. Infiltration rate varies
with soils. If applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system, you must apply at a rate that will not result in
runoff. This table provides the maximum application rate per Dour that may be applied to each field selected to
receive wastewater. It also lists the maximum application amount that each field may receive in any one application
event.

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.
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 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 requirements
In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed
through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they
reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a
height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care
should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere
with stand of bermudagrass_ This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen
being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is
the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is
recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of 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 342.936 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 1714.68 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 5 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 13.71744 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.

NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1 Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application.
Any discharge of waste 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).
7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff
does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies.
8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.

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.

(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 altemative 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 following is a tour -page summary of suggestions for m3ugernent practices for Sonic
foragC crops that can be used in v,,asre managerew plans. These suggestions are a result of
discussions within the NC State University Forage Production Workgroup, a group compriscd
ot'N-C State faculty and NRCS agency personnel with expertise witb the crops.
There are limited documented research responses of some of these practices on the many soils
and environments where these crops are currently being grown. The Forage Production
Workgroup has taken the available data and used the combined experiences and realistic
estimates of key people to came up with suggestions that will allow farmers to incorporate
these crops and practices into waste management plans. As data become available to
substantiate or refute, these suggestions, the Forage Production Workgroup will make
appropriate changes.
Bermuda Overseeded With Cereal Rye and Annual Ryegrass
Currently two types of ``ryegrass" are being used for winter overseeding in fields used for
animal waste management. Cereal r-rve is a winter annual smallgrain that looks similar to
wheat, barley and oats. Annual zLgracs is a winter annual grass that looks much like tall
fescue. Both of these grasses, when growing during the winter on bermuda sod, can have
significant impact on subsequent bermuda Yields. In effect, the total yields frorn an acre
growing the combination of bermuda with these winter annuals will usually yield between 1-2
tons more per acre than bermuda growing alone: for the year. Therefore, the total amount of
PAN /acre for the year is about 100 lbs more than for bermuda alone. Although cereal rye and
annual ryegrass are suitable crops for overseeding, the management of the crops are different
and thus practices implemented are dependent on the crop selected.

overseeded with cereal rve must be reduced in accordance with, NRCS Technical
Q,Landard Wt 90
Annual Ryegrass
Annual ryegrass should be pl?_nted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter
growth. The most cortsistcm stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short (less than 3
inches tall) bermudagra_s sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on shorn
bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate
for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 orrip-s the rate for drilled seeds. The last
application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior. to August 31. An
application of 50 lbs/acre of (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30"
An additional 50 lbs/acrJe of PAN may be applied in February -March. if additional PAN is
applied to Lhe ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the bermuda must be reduced by a
corresponding amount. This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will
reduce ber=da yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is
required by heading or April 7, which ever comes first to prevent shading of emerging
bermuda during April -May period. To favor the production of the bermuda, additional
harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height_
The PAN rate for grazed systerns with bermuda overseeded with annual ryegrass must be
reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard #590.

detrimental to the survival of Ca:na*r:,ss- Gamagrass should not normally be harVestcd or
grrazc'd blow 6-8 inches stubble.
Application rates are to be based on the realistic N rates that address the N needs per [or] of
hay, a realistic yield and an appropriate application windo.4•, when harvested as hay in the 24-
36 inch stage of growth, the N rate ranges from 40-50 lbs/ton of dry matter. The PAN rate for
grazed systems must be reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard #590.
The application winm
dow for gamagrass is slightly earlier than for bermuda; gaagrass starts
growing about 3-4 weeks earlier than Coastal bermudagrass and about 2-3 weeks earlier than
Tifton 4.4. Gamagrass is dormant from frost to March. The last application of PAN in the
summer should be prior to August 31.
Rescuegrass (i.e. Afatua)
Rescuegrass is a cool season grass and makes nmst of its �rouqh from March -June and
September -November. It should receive most of its N during the September -October and late
February through May months. Limited data are available for realistic yields of rescuegrass
on various soils and at various -N levels in North Carolina. However, until further data is
collected the following suggestions may be useful_
1. On sandy, well drained to excessively drained soils, rescuegrass may yield 1.S- 3 times -
fescue. assunung a uniform and dense stand of grass is present.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE FLAN
------------------------------
This lagoon in :designed fur waste Lveatment (permanent storage) and
180 days of temporary storage. The time required fur the pl•annEd
fluid level (permanent and Lemporary storage) to be reached may vary
due to site conditions, weather, flushing uperationz, and the amount
of freK water added to the system.
The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for:
(11 waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evapoiation. Also
included is storage for the 25 year - 24 hour stern: fur the InsaLion.
The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be
fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess
rainfall will vary from year to year. The 23 year rainfall will not
be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage
volume must always be available.
A maximum elevation is determined.in each design to begin
pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(sl from
building(s). If the outlet pipe :is nut installed at the elevation to
begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation,
to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established
to stop pumping to maintain lagoon, treatment depth.
Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between, these two
elevations fur operating convenience as site conditions permit, suc.'., as
weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without
runoff or leaching.
Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable
method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set,
center pivot, guns•, and traveling gun irrigation. Carr should be
take., when applying waste to prevent damage to crops.
The following items ae to be carried out:
1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre -
charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during
start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial
waste entering the lagaor, thereby reducing odors. Solids• should be
covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete,
flush buildings with recycled lagoon: liquid. Fresh water should not
be used for flushing after initial filling.
2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment)
before land application.
3. Begin temporary storage pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level
reaches the elevation 0.0 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump -
out when the fluid level reaches elevation 0.0 . This temporary -
storage, less 25 yr- 24 hr store,, contains 58957.2 cubic feet ur
440999.9 gallons.

SHEET 2 OF 2
4. The recommended mar.imim amount to apply per irrigation is
une (1) inch and the recommended maximum applicatio" raLe is 0.2
inch per hour. Refer to the waste utilization play, fur further details.
5. Keep vegetation on the ewbankmenL and areas atdjauekt to the
lagoun moved a6nually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed
to maintain a vigorous stand.
G. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
establish in veyetation.
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to sLable
outlets.
8. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around
vaste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will
not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a
residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall be applied in a
mda"br nuL to reach uthrr pr uperty and public right-of-ways.
9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of
pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of
Environment., Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ-
mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing or running off site. You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters
or leave you property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every
effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible
location for ail employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should
rake.
1'. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may ore may not be
possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed belwo.
A. Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are:
a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam.
b. Pump wastes To fields at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all flows to :he lagoon immediately.
d. Calf a pumping contractor.

a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stoo irrigation pump.
C. Make sure siohon occurs.
d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid separators.
E. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed
�o ;lowing leaks -possible action:
a. Dig a small sumo or ditch from the embankment -to catch all
seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back to lagoon.
b. If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill
holes and compact with a clay type soil.
c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and lagoon_
bar ore as soon as possible.
T

OPER.ATTON & ANCE PLAN
Prop= lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority. It is espe�:aly
important to zn.auage levels so thar you do not have problems at= extended rainy and
wetperiods_
Magmum storage capacity should be available in the lagoorf for periods why the'
re^divirug Cop is dormant (such as wint-ertime for be:rrauda-=) or when there arc
ended racy spells such as the thund--r=rrn searson in the su=mrdme.. This mr-=
.that at the ors= signs of plant growth in the later winter/eariy soz nb irrigation ac=ar mg -to
a farm waste management plan should be done whenLa ever the: nd is dry enough to
remove lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the 1a;oon for futztre wet:
periods- In the Lair stnnmrs/early fall the Iagoori should be pumped down to the loin
M (set Figure 2-I) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be rnade to
mabzain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level. as -Ion g as the weather and waste
utiiimtiorr pIaa will allow it
Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starrier; to �
irIIgam does not Imve room for storing excess water during e= ceded wet periods. _
Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a viol rion of
stare law and subject to penalty action.
The routine .=� rrnance of a lzoon involves the following:
Maintenance of a vezetat�-ve cover for the dart.
'Fescue or common tiermudag a,_ss are the most c-orimon vegetative
covers. The vegetation should be feurdlized each year, if-n=*ed, to
maintain a vigorous stand_ The amount of fer dliz ?' aimlied should be
based on a soils test, but in the event that it is nor practical to obtain
a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding are: s
should be f_rt lized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-I0, or
ecuivalent.
3rash and trees on the embankment must be conzolled. This may be
done by mowing, swaying, grazing, chopping , or a combination of
these practices. This should be done at least once a year and
possibly twice in years that weather conditions are izvorable for
heavy vegetative growth.
NOTB.: ll vegt,ation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide roust not be allowed to eater
the- lagoon wamr. Such chemicals coup harm the ba n in the Loon that are t=tinc
the waste_
Maintenan= in=p _—lions of the entire Iagoon should be made during the initial fining of.
the lagoon and it least monthly and after major rahifall and storm events. Items to be-
checkcd should include, as a minimum, the following=
Waste. Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes---Iook for_
l_ separation of joints
2 cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals,
4. overall condition of pipes

Lagoon surface —look for.
1. undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
EmbanlQnent—look for.
1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes
2. side slope stability —slumps or bulges
3wet or damp arm on the hack slope
4. erosion due to lark of vegetation or as a result of wave action
S. rodent damage
Larger- lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalk, thereby westing the lagoon dam_
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave-actiom If
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, bares irr the -lagoon- may be
used to reduc.: the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakearing of the dam- If your lagoon has
any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and
construction of waste lagoons. You may nerd to provide a tenworary -fix if there is a threat:
of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical c.pert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious
und=-LaIdng with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate L-- adcal expert.
Transfer Pumas--caerk for proper operration of:
1. recvcIing pumps
2. iriaation pumps
Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding -
noise, or a. large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need or r_nair or
rep�ac;.ment -
NOM Pumping systems should be inspected and operated.fz ` uently enough so that you.
are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your -pumping
system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level This will allow some
safety time should major repairs be required_ Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time
to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps_ Probably, if yourlagoon is full,
your neighbor`s lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining -an inventory of spare
parts or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets,
and parldng lot runofx') away from your lagoon and other waste
treaunent or storage structures. The only water that should -be
coming from yourlagoon is that which comes from yourflushing
(washing) system pipes and the. rainfall that hits the lagoon- directly.
You.should inspect your diversion system for the following:
1. adequate. vegetation
2. diversion capacity
3. ridge berm height

Identified problems should be corrected promptly. I ds advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If tf=hnica.l assistance is needed to
derermizie propel solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
re; ord the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in
plaguing irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the
lagoon from the surrounding land_
Lagoon- Operation
i_..
I. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on Dare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before
waste loading begins, talzng care not to erode Lining or. bank sIopes.
3. DrainDiDes into the lagoon should have a flexible pi- e extender on the
end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial
d line or another :Weans of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of
the lining.
4. When possfole, beE_:n loading new lagoons in the .spring »
to maxim,
bacterial establishment (due to wanimer weather)-
5- it is recommended that. a new -lagoon be steed with sludge from a healthy
worldng swine Iazoon in the amount of 0.25 per cent of the fuli.lagoon
Liouid volume. fnis seeding should occ our at lit two we::�z priorm the
addition of wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon Liquid pH. If the pH falls below
7.0, add agxicular l lime at the rate of I pound per 1000 cubic feet of
boon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid
vH is between 7.5 and 8.0.
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate
biological activity. Consultation with a technical serialist is recommended
if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm
season.
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the belle` the
lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are
optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained -
and recharged each day, also work well.

Practice water cc.iservation---minimize building water usage and
spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through
proper maintenance and water conservation.
Minimize feed wastage and spillage by k=ping feeders adjusted. This
will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon
Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent srnrage level and
the full temporary storage level.
Place visible mark = or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the
minimum liquid Ievel and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-I).
Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on
nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that "temporary storage
will be maximi= for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly,
irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maidmum lagoon
storage for the wintery.
The lazoon licuid level should never be closer than I foot to the lowest
paint or the dam or embankment.
Do not oump the lagoon liquid level lower that the _permanent storage
level unless you ar-- removing sludge.
Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid
surface and as faz away from the drainpipe inlets as possible.
Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-strrrmled forage orvegemion,
molded ree^_, plastic svFinges, or other foreign rrtat^P*ials into the lagoon_
i-reauently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they ar- installed.
Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon ed.gm
Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on -goon dam or embarilm mt
Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is
full or before it .Uf s 50 percent of the permanent storage volume.
If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a
pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Rase of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:

proper lagoon sizing,
mechanical solids smaradon of flushed waste,
gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an a_ooropriately designed basin, or
mir mTzng feed waste and spillage. '
I.agoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
rewire more land to properly use the nutrie.Zts.
Removal te.:-hniaues:
Hire a custom atmlicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a cho_t7ae_-agitator impeller
pump through large -bore sprit ider inflation syste.,i onto nearby cropland;
and soil incorpor tc.
Dewater the upper t o part lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into lieuid sludge applic nor; haul
and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irriflation onto nearby cropland or
forQeland: dredge siudae from lagoon with dr-1 n or sludge ba:~ge; b�
zn area beside lagoon to reczive the sludge so that liquids can drain baci
into lagoon; allow sludge to dewate:, haul and spread with manure sormdnr
onto cropiand or forageland; and soil inco=raze.
Regpxdless of the method, you must have the sludge material arrmiymsd for waste
constinaeas just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain difTe=--t
nutrient and meml values from the liouid. The auoiication of the siudbe to fields r'ill-be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
reuuirement_ Waste application rates will be discussed in de mil in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the line: to prevent damage. Clow
attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure thar the Iagoon liner retrains
intac-. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material. being disturbed, you should
stop the aczvity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be
removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphoru-s and heavy metal contort
than licuid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus
and meil levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of
erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very iiigu soil -test phos. hores, it
should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other
wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nuts ent value.
The application of sludge will incr—..se the amount or odor at the waste application site
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions winch
could incr—....se the concern of neighbors.

Posible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types
of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, over; nipping, and breach of the
data. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibiliry for
en�-uring snu n= safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include:
Modification of the lagoon structure —an eaample is the placement of a pipe
in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult -an expert in
lagoon design before placing any pipes in dajns.)
Lagoon liquid levels —high levels -are a safety risk_
Failure to inspect and maintain the darn.
Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon.
Liner integrity --protect from inlet -pipe scouring, damage during sludge
removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater
table.
NOTE: If Igoon water is allowed to overtop the darn, the moving water will soon cause
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly. cause a large discharge
of wa_stew"..ter and possible dam failure.

.r •
System Calibration
Information presented in manufac-turer's charts are based on average operation
conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates
change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular,
pump wear tends. to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use,
nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the.,
discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter.
You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed irr the:
design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the
application uniformity. For example, operating the- system with excessive pressure
results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift-, and: accelerates wear of the -
sprinkler nozzle. Clogging or nozzles can result- in pressure increase-. Plugged:
intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating -
below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application
uniformity.
For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to
ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every
three years is recommended. Calibratior, involves collecting and measuring flow at
several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to
collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because
they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount
without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets,
jars, or anything with a uniform opening and.cross-set ion can be used. provided
the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring. -
For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly
throughout the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling
guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction
of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both
sides of the gun cann You should compute the average application rate for all
nonuni,formity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers
of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You: should contact your irrigation
dealer or technical specialise for assistance.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN -- (Required Specifications)
. 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances,
direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of
waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an
agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does
not own adequate land to properly dispose 'of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement
with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for
waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the
Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals,
method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields
based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of
management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be
applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing
grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter
Strip)
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not
be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on
conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste
may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See
"Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.)
*7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does
not occur offske or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site
during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is
frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not
covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from
animal waste should also be considered.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high
potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum
and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied
more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy.
11. 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. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
....ems....

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, drainage ways, or wetlands by
discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland
provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal
waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharges directly into water courses, and
on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no
runoff or drift from the site.
* 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be
discharged into the animal waste management system.
* 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon
embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the
vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas
where considered appropriate.. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and
structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge.
* 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal
discharge, pollution and erosion.
*19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to
prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human
consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should
only be applied preplant 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 element.
Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used
when -these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall -be adjusted for optimum crop production
and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste
application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other
waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: WILLETTE WESTON
Location: 273 WILLARD WESTON RD
BEULAVILLE NC 28518
Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: Existing Farrow to Weanling Swine
Number of Animals: 330.00 sows
(Design Capacity)
STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon
APPLICATION METHOD: Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or
groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops
in the fields where the waste is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil
tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be
balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization
plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to
ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply
more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and
available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than
5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land
eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than
10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter
strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining,
or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions
may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWQ regulations.
Page: 1

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production
and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should
be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30
days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If
you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the
same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant
analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied.
Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible
so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific
crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted'by the Environmental
Management Commission.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
330 sows x 6.1 tons waste/sows/year = 2013 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
330. sows x 5.4 lbs PAN/saws/year = 1782 lbs. PAN/year
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan
time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely
manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded
in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing,
hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed
when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle
should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four
inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed
for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small
grain to reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too
high and this will definitely interfere with stand of
bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced
yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than
cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as
is the normal situation, you'are encouraged to cut the small
grain earlier.. You may want to consider harvesting hay or
silage two to three times during the season, depending on
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late
September or early October. Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a
height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than
the acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land '
application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient
rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application
of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 290.4 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 1452
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid
bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 4.84 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 11.616 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application
methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This
rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil
texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount
should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the
time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed
the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure
that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
Page: 8

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 180.00 days of temporary storage and
the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every
6.00 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored
in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one
foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to
ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the
correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may
make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis
report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and
the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.

Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 31-624
Duplin County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRR1, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRYS, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the

Dear Mrs. Weston:
You are hereby notified that Romeo Weston Farm, which has been deemed permitted to
have a nondischarge permit for an animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H
.0217, has been found to be in violation of its 2H .0217 Animal Waste Permit.
On October 13, 1998, Mr. Brian Wrenn from the Wilmington Office of the Division of
Water Quality, inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. It was
observed that nitrogen has been applied to your '97-'98 small grain crop in excess of the limits
established by your certified animal waste management plan. Records indicate that 93.33 lbslac
and 126.4 lbslac of nitrogen above the recommended 50 lbslac was applied to the small grain
overseed in spray zones #5 and #6, respectively. This is up to two times greater than the
recommended amount of nitrogen for a small grain overseed. The excess nitrogen applied to the
small grain overseed must be subtracted from the Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) loading of the
current crop cycle.
The Division of Water Quality will proceed to revoke Romeo Weston Farm's permit unless
the following conditions are completed:
1. Immediately eliminate the discharge of wastewater and/or list actions to correct the noted
violations.
2. Make any modifications needed to ensure there will be no future excess application of
nitrogen.

SUBJECT: Follow-up On Mrs. Willette Weston Farm, Facility # 31-624
Dear Brian,
I met with a representative from Enviro Ag Compliance on January 18 to look at the
pumping records for 1997/1998. As reported, the records show an over application
of nitrogen for 2 fields or hydrants. The records show a total over application of
nitrogen of 568 pounds during fall 1997 and spring 1998. The current Waste Utilization
Plan (WUP) shows 1845 pounds of total nitrogen requirements for the 1998 coastal
bermuda crop. The records also show that only 529 pounds of nitrogen was applied
during the crop year 1998. If you add the 1997-1998 over application amount of 568
pounds plus the amount applied of 529 pounds, there was a nitrogen deficit of 748
pounds for the 1998 coastal bermuda crop year. This supports the fact that the crop
looked nutrient deficient later that year. Due to the time of over application (March,
1998), it is very likely that the emerging coastal bermuda utilized this nitrogen for early
growth.
Jerry Hairr, Contract Swine Manager, and I visited the farm on January 18, 1999. We
met with Romeo and Willette at the farm. A pressure guage was installed on a'riser and
the operating pressure was checked. We got a pressure reading of 78-80 psi using a
0.5 inch nozzle. We then installed a 0.65 inch nozzle and recorded a pressure reading
of 68-70 psi. Using the existing 0.5 inch nozzle at 80 psi, the 100 Series Big Gun
pumps at a rate of 64 gpm. The original nozzle size used for record keeping was 0.65
inch with a rate of 103 gpm at a pressure of 70 psi. Even though the 0.50 nozzle has
been in use for some time, it was not reported to Enviro Ag and the records were still
showing the 0.65 inch nozzle. The bottom line is that more gpm were reported that
were being applied during this period.
Romeo notified Enviro Ag this month of the change in nozzle size and the new records
will show a big gun with a 0.50 inch nozzle and a rate of approximately 64 gpm. Based
upon our field pressure check at the gun and the change in records to show actual
gallons applied, I anticipate that over application will not show up as a problem.

While at the farm I looked at improvements Romeo has made along the backslope of his
anerobic treatment system. All trees, stumps, etc. have been removed and a temporary
cover of small grain has been planted. He did a good job on this. Also, I gave Willette
a record keeping form to help her record weekly liquid levels.
In the interest of time, I told the Westons that l would send the response directly to your
office at DWQ instead of sending it to them for forwarding to you. l trust that this
meets your approval. As noted, I am sending copies of this letter to the Westons and
Enviro Ag Compliance: In addition, I have included copies of previous correspondence
sent to your office. Please give me a call if you have questions or additional information
is needed.

Dear Romeo,
This letter is in regard to the visit Fred Cumbo and I made to your farm last week. Using
the boat and a 25 foot rod, I was able to sample the depth of solids at 4 locations in the
lagoon. At the time of sampling, the existing liquid level was approximately 1.5 feet
below the start pump or 3.2 feet below the top of dam. The depth of liquid averaged
9.5 feet deep with an average depth of sludge at 2.5 to 3.0 feet thick. Based upon a
total design liquid depth of 11.0 feet (start pump to bottom of lagoon) you have 8.0 feet
of treatment and temporary storage in the lagoon. This allows 2 feet of temporary
storage and 6 feet of treatment. The fact that your lagoon was constructed for a greater
number of animals than are stocked may be one of the reasons the lagoon is in such
good shape. There is some evidence of sludge accumulation on the side slopes. This
promotes good seating and should not be a problem.
Your plans regarding the trees on the backslope and reseeding some areas with common
bermuda next spring will help you to stay in compliance. If I can be of assistance,
please give me a call.

Subject: Facility Number 31-624 ; Duplin County
Mr. Wrenn.
In response to the Notice I received in October referring to the over application on our spray fields...
According to my Waste Utilization Plan, I have more than enough land than is required for my size
operation. I have a stand of coastal which I interseed with rye in the winter months as stated in my Waste
Utilization Plan. I also checked with the Duplin County MRCS on the storage capacity of my lagoon and
according to their office, the size and storage capacity is accurate for my operation. Also, a representative
of Carroll's Foods, who I'm under contract with, checked the sludge level and reported that my lagoon has
2 %z foot of sludge.
As far as my pumping, in the spring of 1998, the time my records show that I over applied, we were getting
an extreme amount of rain. I didn't set out to over apply on my sprayfieids; I was just attempting to keep
my lagoon level down. The over application was late February to late March on the rye and since it was so
near to the start of the coastal pumping date, which is the first of April, I didn't really feel it would be a
problem. However, due to what I have learned since then, I will not be over applying again In the future I
will be extremely careful of the amount pumped in each crop cycle and w-ill not over apply the nitrogen
requirement as called for in my Waste Utilization Plan.
I ask for your understanding in this error and misunderstanding on my part 1 try hard to comply with all
the rules and regulations that are put upon the hog industry. If you should have any questions or need any
more information, please let me know.
Thank You,

Mr. Wrenn,
Enclosed is a copy of the Lagoon Design for the above mention farm as requested You also asked for the
rainfall levels and freeboard levels for the late winter and early spring months of 1998. Mrs. Weston stated
that they were not keeping freeboard levels at that time, so there is no way to get that information now. As
for the rainfall, I have called numerous farmers in Duplin County to see if they were keeping those records
for that period, but no one has them I've also contacted the NRCS and the E.itension Service, but they
don't have the information either. I e-mailed the climate education center at NCSU to see if they could
help, but they never contacted me with any response.
I'm not sure what else I can do to help Mr. Weston. I just ask that you take everything in consideration
when make your report.
If I can be of any help to you, please give me a call (910-596-2488).

Mr. Wrenn_
Enclosed is a copy of the Lagoon Design for the above mention farm as requested You also asked for the
rainfall'levels and freeboard levels for the late winter and early spring months of 1998. Mrs. Weston stated
that they were not keeping freeboard levels at that time, so there is no way to get that information now. As
for the rainfall, I have called numerous farmers in Duplin County to see if they were keeping those records
for that period but no one has them. I've also contacted the NRCS and the Extension Service, but they
don't have the information either. I e-mailed the climate education center at NCSU to see if they could
help, but they never contacted me with any response.
I'm not sure what else I can do to help Mr. Weston_ I just ask that you take everything in consideration
when make your report.
If I can be of any help to you, please give me a call (910-596-2488).
Sin rely,

Mr, Wrenn.
In response to the Notice I received in October referring to the over application on our spray fields...
According to my Waste Utilization Plan, I have more than enough land than is required for my size
operation. I have a stand of coastal which I interseed with rye in the winter months as stated in my Waste
Utilization Plan. 1 also checked with the Duphn County MRCS on the storage rapacity of my lagoon and
according to their office, the size and storage capacity is accurate for my operation. Also, a representative
of Carroll's Foods, who I'm under contract with, checked the sludge level and reported that my lagoon has
2 '/2 foot of sludge.
As far as my pumping, in the spring of 1998, the time my records show that I over applied, we were getting
an extreme amount of rain. I didn't set out to over apply on my sprayfields; I was just attempting to keep
my lagoon level down. The over application was late February to late March on the rye and since it was so
near to the start of the coastal pumping date, which is the first of April, 1 didn't really feel it would be a
problem. However, due to what I have learned since then, I will not be over applying again. In the future I
will be extremely careful of the amount pumped in each crop cycle and will not over apply the nitrogen
requitement as called for in my Waste Utilization Plan.
I ask for your understanding in this error and misunderstanding on my part. I try hard to comply with all
the rules and regulations that are put upon the hog industry. If you should have any questions or need any
more information, please let me know.
Thank You,

This excessive application of nitrogen is in non-compliance with the waste management
plan. This non-compliance is subject to an appropriate enforcement action by the Division of
Water Quality. This action can consist of one or more of the following: a Notice of Deficiency
(NOD); a Notice of Violation (NOV); a civil or criminal enforcement action; an injunction; and/or
a requirement to apply for coverage under an individual non -discharge permit. The action chosen
will be based on a complete evaluation of all factors that resulted in the excessive application of
nitrogen; the actions taken to correct the problem; and the actions being proposed to prevent the
problem from reoccurring.
To assist us in our review, please provide this office with an evaluation of the reasons for
the excessive application of nitrogen and a strategy to prevent future occurrences. This evaluation
and strategy must include but is not be limited to the following:
An evaluation of water usage and management at the facility, (including but not limited to
water usage in the houses and storm water management/diversion)
A review of the adequacy of lagoon storage capacity to determine if more than the current
design standard is needed at the facility
Current sludge accumulation in the lagoon(s)
Waste levels in the lagoon(s) for the previous 12 months
Acres needed for waste application as specified in the CAWMP
Available acreage identified in the CAWMP
Spraying schedule as established in the CAWMP
Spraying records for the past twelve months
Cropping system specified in the CAWMP
Cropping system currently in use if different from the CAWMP
A summary of any needed modification to the CAWMP
Rainfall records (if available)
This information must be received by this office no later than 30 days following receipt of
this letter. Once this information is received and evaluated by the DWQ staff, a determination will
be made as to the appropriate compliance/enforcement actions to be taken. Each case will be
evaluated on its own merit. The efforts by the owner/producer to notify DWQ of the problem,
efforts made to resolve the problem once identified and efforts proposed to prevent future problems
will be positive factors in this determination.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and
180 ,says of temporary storage. The time required for the planned
fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary
due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount
of fresh water added to the system.
The designed temporary storage consists of. 180 days storage for:
(1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also
included is Korage for the 25 year - 24 hour storm for the location.
The volume of waste generated from a given Number of animals will be
fairly constant throughout the year and frum year to year, but excess
rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will not
be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage
volume must always be available.
A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin
pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from
building(s). If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to
begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation
to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established
to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth.
Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two
elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as
weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without
runoff or leaching.
Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable
method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set,
center -pivot,--guns,—and- -traveling- gun irrigation.- Care -should -be - - - ---
taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops.
The following items are to'be carried out:
1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment.lagoon be pre -
charged -to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessibe adoss during -
start -up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial.
._.waste_entering_.the_lagoon thereby- reducing odors. _ Solids should_ be'_.
covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete,
flush buildings with ijbycled'lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not
be used for flushing after initial filling.
2: The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment)
before land application.
3. Begin temporary storage pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level
reaches the elevation 0.0 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump -
out when the fluid level reaches elevations 0.0 . This temporary
storage, le8c 25 yr- 24 hr storm, contains 58957.2 cubic feet or
440999.9 gallons.

Dear Ms. Weston:
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study
Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly,
requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more
swine by January 1, 1997. The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a
designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an
Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed farm 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 at 919/733-0026

Dear Mr. Weston:
On August 8, 1995 Staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Environmental
Management inspected your animal operations and the lagoons serving these operations. it was observed
that the level in the waste lagoon at the farm was V -7" from the top, and was on the verge of not having
sufficient freeboard. You informed Staff that you had applied for a grant to put in an underground
irrigation system, but had not heard back yet.
MRCS guidelines for Best Management Practices require a minimum of one foot seven inches of
freeboard. This is based on the amount of storage space needed to contain a 25-year storm event of 24
hours duration. You should pump down your lagoon to provide the required freeboard. The wastewater
spraying activity should be done in accordance with NRCS standards which are designed to prevent runoff
from your spray fields.
To remain a deemed permitted facility, all corrective actions must be made within seven (7) days.
Failure to do so may result in the facilities losing their deemed permitted status and being required to
obtain individual non -discharge permits for the facilities.
Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes and Rules to discharge
wastewater to the surface waters of the State without a permit and/or to fail to follow a certified waste
management plan. The Division of Environmental Management has the authority to levy a civil penalty
of not more than $10, 000 per day per violation.

Dear Mr. Weston,
This is to inform you that your completed registration form required by the recently
modified nondischarge rule has been received by the Division of Environmental Management
(DEM), Water Quality Section.
On December 10, 1992 the. Environmental Management Commission adopted a water
quality rule which governs animal waste management systems. The goal -of the rule is for animal
operations to be managed such that animal waste is not discharged to surface waters of the state.
The rule allows animal waste systems to be "deemed permitted" if certain minimum criteria are
met (15A NCAC 2H .0217). By submitting this registration you have met one of the criteria for
being deemed permitted -
'We would like to remind you that existing feedlots which meet the size thresholds listed
in the rule, and any new ' or expanded feedlots constructed between February 1, 1993 and
December 31, 1993 must submit a signed certification form to DEM by December 31, 1997.
New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31, 1993 must obtain signed certification
before animals are stocked on the farm. Certification of an approved animal waste
management -plan can be obtained after the Soil and Water Conservation Commission adopts
rules later this year.
We appreciate you providing us with this information. If you have any question about
the new nondischarge rule, please contact David Harding at [phone].
