Dear Ira D. Johnson:
On April 28, 2003, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the
Division of Water Quality.(Division)_to extend the expiration date of the Swine Waste Operation General
Permit AWG100000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the
expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with
all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit.
In accordance with your application received on January 28, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of
Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Ira D_
Johnson, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The issuance of this COC
supersedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS310668 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 E&S Farm, located in Duplin County, with an animal capacity of no greater than
an annual average of 5600 Wean to Feeder 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 evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property. ARA

TEACHEY NC 28464
Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: New Wean to Feeder Swine
Number of Animals: 5600.00 pigs
(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
S. 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 2E .0217 adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission.
.AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
5600 pigs x .40 tons waste/pigs/year = 2240 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
5600 pigs x .48 lbs PAN/pigs/year = 2688 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 425.6 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 2128
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid
bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 7.09333333333 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 17.024 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 250-. 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

* 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 operatedproperly 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.

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 of fsite 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.
Page: 10

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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. 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 from any perennial stream or river (other
than an irrigation ditch or 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.
(See Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
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 a 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.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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

'rhe 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 gown, 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 liquid 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 lirigation 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
J runoff. This table provides the maximum application rate per hour 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 following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for
sludge utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen
concentrations for each source, the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application
rates shown in the second column.
Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At
clean out. this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the
priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since
nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge mustbe carefully applied.
Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be
used for sludge application. if this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with
high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water
moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also
be a concern.

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage
capacity available at the end of each month of the plan. Available storage capacity is calculated as the
design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start
date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in
the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero.
Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design
storage capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage
capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated.
If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design
storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval
in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

Subject: Follow -Up to Compliance Inspection
E&S Farm
Facility #: 31-668
Duplin County
Dear Mr. Johnson:
This letter is being sent as a follow-up to'the compliance inspection which I performed on July 10, 2001.
1 requested that more information be provided to me after the inspection. After conducting my inspection
and reviewing the follow-up information, the following should be addressed:
1) You need to begin keeping your application events recorded on IRRA and IRR-2 forms
of which I have enclosed a blank copy of each. At the time of inspection, you were
having a third party update your application records periodically. While this is
allowable, there can be extended periods of time which pass before you have your
records updated, and could result in overapplication of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
as was the case on the 2000-2001 fescue crop at your facility. At the time of the
inspection, I instructed that while you may still want to have the third party keep your
records, you are to begin keeping your records updated continuously on the standard
IRR-1 and IRR-2 forms so that you have an up to date balance of the remaining PAN on
each spray zone so you will know on which spray zones you can still apply.
2) The waste utilization plan (wup) which you were operating under at the time.of the
inspection had an application window of September through June 15 for the fescue crop.
You bad made several applications after June 15 this year. You need to be sure to follow
the application window provided in your wup. After my inspection, you had your wup
- -rewritten and the technical specialist provided a window of August 15 through April on
fescue. On fescue you should attempt to apply the large majority of the PAN during two
main periods of the current window, September through November and February through
April. You need to be sure to follow the application windows provided in the wup for all
your crops. You need to keep the application records according to these windows as
well. For instance, the IRR-2's for your fescue spray areas should begin August 15 and
run through April of the following year (one fescue season), and then you will begin a
new IRR-2 for the season after that which will run through those same months.

3) You need to have up to date freeboard level records as well as past freeboard level
records readily available for inspection.
Please submit a Plan of Action which addresses the items noted above. Specifically, you should indicate
what your plans are for (I ) keeping your application records updated so that you have an updated PAN
balance for all your spray areas, (2) applying within the application windows provided in the wup for
each crop and keeping your application records accordingly, and (3) having up to date and past freeboard
records available for inspection. Please submit the written Plan of Action to this office within ten days of
your receipt of this letter.
Be advised that the Division of Water Quality may take further action in these matters including notice of
violation, assessment of civil penalties, injunctive relief, and permit revocation.

Subject: Plan of Action
Dear Mr. Mathis:
The following actions have been taken to address the items noted at the time of your compliance inspection.
(1) Nitrogen balances are now updated weekly per pull event and recorded on standard Irr-1 and Irr-
2 forms, which does in fact allow for an accurate up-to-date nitrogen balance. However, as you
are aware the third party keeping the records at the time of your inspection was the North
Carolina Cooperative Extension Service (Sampson County), with strong urgency, the North
Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the North Carolina
Cooperative Extension Service should work closer together to agree on appropriate forms and
formats for keeping application events. The grower should not have to reap any repercussions
for allowing another state agency (NCCES) to do what they (the grower) thought was the correct
way of doing things.
(2.) A new Waste Utilization Plan was written by Billy Houston on July 11, 2001 (the morning after
your routine compliance inspection), all application windows are being followed, and therefore all
application records are being maintained according to the new WUP windows.
(3.) Freeboard records have been updated and are now being recorded weekly by the grower and kept
in farm records. Premium Standard Farms, Inc. keeps weekly freeboard levels of each contract
farm and therefore provided the information needed to update them.
If you have any questions concerning this Plan of Action or would like too request to review further
paperwork you may contact Ms. Greer Moore with Premium Standard Farms, Inc. at [phone] ext. 2265
or Mr. Dalana Johnson at [phone].

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 1 /28/99 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 resuIts as indicated by the box marked with an "X".
Category 1:
g{ 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 [phone]. ff 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

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 DWQ 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

'I'his letter is my plan of action in response to the Notice of Violation I received dated
October 23, 2000.
Item #1(Over Application) states that over application had occurred on my farm. I am in
the process of having Star Maready of the Cooperative Extension Service perform a wettable
acres determination for my farm. She will also perform a system calibration to determine
what my system is actually applying. I will recalculate my IRR-2 forms to show what
application has actually occurred on these fields.
Item #2 (Record Keeping) In the past, my records have been kept by a third party. I have
determined this is not working out and I will begin to keep my own records. This should be
a better system of record keeping. My Integrator will supply me with the freeboard levels
for the past year and I will keep them with my records. I will maintain a freeboard log that
will be available upon request. I will strive to maintain yearly soil samples and quarterly
waste samples on this farm.
Item #3 (Waste Utilization Plan) My waste utilization plan will be revised by NRCS to
correspond with Ms. Maready's determination.
If you have any questions or you need additional information, please contact me at the
above address.

Subject: Notice of Violation
E&S Farm
Facility Number_ 31-668
Duplin County
Dear Mr. Johnson:
This is to notify Mr. Ira Johnson, who holds a non -discharge permit for an animal waste disposal
system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0200 and North Carolina G.S.143.215.1, of violations of Animal Waste
Permit AWS 310568.
On October 11, 2000. Mr. Dean Hunkele from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality inspected your animal operation and the animal waste management system serving this
operation_ The following violations were noted during the inspection:
1, Nitrogen Over -Application
During the inspection it was observed that over application had occurred. You applied approximately
200 lbslacre of nitrogen to your fescue field for the 1999-2000 application window_ Your current waste
plan limits your application to 130 lbslacre of nitrogen(PAN) since your fields are listed as grazed;
however, since no grazing is being conducted the amount that can be applied could be approximately
160 lbslacre if the waste plan was changed to non -grazing. Either way, nitrogen was still over -applied.
This is a violation of your General Permit AWS 310668 conditions. Specifically, Part It. Operation and
Maintenance Requirements, Section 4_ This condition requires that Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application rates and hydraulic loading rates, identified in the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan,
shall not be exceeded.
In accordance with the Division's over -application policy approved in January 1999, this Notice of
Violation (NOV) has been issued because the amount applied exceeds the 20% limit_

The policy states that a NOV will be issued when an operation has been previously cited for over -
application or the amount of over -application exceeds the recommended PAN by 20%.
2. Record Keeping
During the inspection it was observed the following problems with record keeping at your facility.
irrigation Records — Daily spraying activities should be recorded on IRR-1forms and must be used when
using computer generated IRR-2 forms. Nitrogen balances should be maintained on separate forms
(IRR-2) for each crop cycle based on the certified waste utilization plan. Records can be kept by field if
spray zone or pull irrigated is indicated in margins or on IRR-1 forms_ Ideally records should be kept by
spray pull or zone with acreage shown on IRR-2 forms as that covered by the pull or zone. Facilities with
irrigation designs or layouts should follow them using the appropriate acreage assigned to each routine.
Nitrogen balances should be updated at least monthly, but more frequently for low PAN crops or when
balances are approaching PAN limits to avoid over -application.
Freeboard Records -- Weekly freeboard records for all lagoons on -site are required by the General
Permit_ if the facility must call these readings into their integrator, then a log of the levels must be
maintained on -site to fulfill this requirement.
Waste Analyses -- A dated waste analysis report for each lagoon that irrigation occurs from is required
within 60 days of any irrigation event. For example, waste report is dated March1st, then applications
can be made until May 1st or backwards to January 1st_ Waste can be applied prior to having an
updated report such as spraying on February 1st and using the PAN listed on a report on March 1st of a
sample taken February 20. However, the grower is cautioned against applying too often without knowing
the nitrogen content of the lagoon on low PAN crops (like overseeds) or when nitrogen balance (PAN) is
nearly used up for a crop to avoid over -application. It is highly recommended that samples be taken
every 90 days (3 months) beginning in January to always have a valid sample report. This also allows
for a 30-day period of report overlap where the grower can use the lowest PAN value of the two reports
on the IRR 2 nitrogen balance records.
SoilSamples — A dated soil sample report for each spray field in the waste utilization plan is required
once per calendar year (annually). Fields greater than 10 acres should be broken up into smaller fields
for sampling purposes to obtain the most useful information_ It is highly recommended that samples for
pastures and hay fields be taken during the summer to obtain a report in a timely manner. Grower is
cautioned against waiting past November 1 st because report may not be dated and returned by the end
of the year_ it is recommended that a separate soil sample be taken from areas where cover crops are
struggling to be maintained; indicate this is from, a problem area on the paperwork for a more thorough
soil analysis to be completed to find possible source of a problem. These samples are at no cost to the
grower otherthan shipping.
Using a third party is acceptable, however, it is still the grower/certified operator's responsibility to verify
that records are being kept correctly and avoid issues of non-compliance_ NRCS Conservation Practice
Standard. Code 633 requires the facility to keep accurate and complete records of waste application
events_ These records should be maintained for five years and are required by your General Permit to
be maintained forthree years. In 15A NCAC 8F .0203, Duties and Requirements of an Operator in
Charge, it is specified that the certified operator in charge is responsible for proper documentation of the
daily operation of the animal waste management system_

3. Invalid Waste Utilization Plan
Your current waste plan written last fall lists a summer annual (typically millet) interseeded in the fescue
field. This is generally not an accepted practice since it can hurt the fescue field through shading and
subsequent death of the fescue crop. Such a cropping system may work if the farm was grazed with an
adequate herd to prevent excessive growth by the summer annual. In addition, this plan was not
followed by you this year since the summer annual was not planted and the farm is not being grazed.
With regard to wetted acres, your facility's status was changed to being pended for a Wetted Acres
Determination. You will have three options to meet this requirement before or once you receive a letter
from the Division of Water Quality in Raleigh. 1) Have a full blown Wetted Acres Determination
completed by a qualified technical specialist. 2) Have an irrigation layout/map generated showing proper
alignment of pulls, approximate acreage covered by each pull based on -length & width, and a waste plan
created to match with a nitrogen deficit_ 3) Obtain a new, updated aerial photo of farm showing lagoon

Subject: Notice of Violation
E&S Farm
Facility Number: 31-668
Duplin County
Dear Mr. Johnson:
This is to notify Mr. Ira Johnson, who holds a non -discharge permit for an animal waste disposal
system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0200 and North Carolina G.S.143.215.1, of violations of Animal Waste
Permit AWS 310668.
On October 11, 2000, Mr. Dean Hunkele from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality inspected your animal operation and the animal waste management system serving this
operation. The following violations were noted during the inspection:'
1. Nitrogen Over -Application
During the inspection it was observed that over -application had occurred. You applied approximately
200 ibs/acre of nitrogen to your fescue field for the 1999-2000 application window. Your current waste
plan limits your application to 130 Ibstacre of nitrogen(PAN) since your fields are listed as grazed;
however, since no grazing is being conducted the amount that can be applied could be approximately
160 Ibs/acre if the waste plan was changed to non -grazing. Either way, nitrogen was still over -applied.
This is a violation of your General Permit AWS 310668 conditions. Specifically, Part 11. Operation and
Maintenance Requirements, Section 4. This condition requires that Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application rates and hydraulic loading rates, identified in the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan,
shall not be exceeded.
In accordance with the Division's over -application policy approved in January 1999, this Notice of
Violation (NOV) has been issued because the amount applied exceeds the 201/16 limit.

The policy states that a NOV will be issued when an operation has been previously cited for over -
application or the amount of over -application exceeds the recommended PAN by 20%.
2. Record Keeping
During the inspection it was observed the following problems with record keeping at your facility.
Irrigation Records — Daily spraying activities should be recorded on IRR-1forms and must be used when
using computer generated IRR-2 forms. Nitrogen balances should be maintained on separate forms
(IRR-2) for each crop cycle based on the certified waste utilization plan. Records can be kept by field if
spray zone or -pull irrigated is indicated in margins or on IRR-1 forms Ideally records should be kept by
spray pull or zone with acreage shown on IRR-2 forms as that covered by the pull or zone. Facilities with
irrigation designs or layouts should follow them using the appropriate acreage assigned to each routine.
Nitrogen balances should be updated at least monthly, but more frequently for low PAN crops or when
balances are approaching PAN limits to avoid over -application.
Freeboard Records — Weekly freeboard records for all lagoons on -site are required by the General
Permit. If the facility must call these readings into their integrator, then a log of the levels must be
maintained on -site to fulfill this requirement. .
Waste Analyses — A dated waste analysis report for each lagoon that irrigation occurs from is required
within 60 days of any irrigation event. For example, waste reportis dated Marchlst, then applications
can be made until May 1st or backwards to January 1st. Waste can be applied prior to having an
updated. report such as spraying on February 1st and using the PAN listed on a report on March 1st of a
sample taken February 20. However, the grower is cautioned against applying too often without knowing
the nitrogen content of the lagoon on low PAN crops (like overseeds) or when nitrogen balance (PAN) is
nearly used up for a crop to avoid over -application. It is highly recommended that samples be taken
every 90 days (3 months)'beginning in January to always have a valid sample report. This also allows
for a 30-day.period of.report overlap where the grower can use the lowest PAN value of the two reports
on the IRR-2 nitrogen balance records.
Soil Samples -- A dated soil sample report for each spray field in the waste utilization plan is required
once per calendar year (annually). Fields greater than 10 acres should be broken up into smaller fields
for sampling purposes to obtain the most useful information. It is Highly recommended that samples for
pastures and hayfields be taken during the summer to obtain a report in a timely manner. Grower is
cautioned against waiting past November 1st because report may -not be dated and returned by the end
of the year. It is -recommended that a•separate soil sample be taken from areas where cover crops are
struggling to -be maintained; indicate this is from a problem area on the paperwork for a more thorough
soil analysis to be completed to find possible source of a problem. These samples are at no cost to the
grower other than shipping.
Using a third party is acceptable, however, it is still the grower/certified operator's responsibility to verify
that records are being kept correctly and avoid issues of non-compliance. NRCS Conservation Practice
Standard, Code 633 requires the facility to keep accurate and complete records of waste application
events. These records should be maintained for five years and are required by your General Permit to
be maintained for three years. In 15A NCAC 8F .0203, Duties and Requirements of an Operator in
Charge, it is specified that the certified operator in charge is responsible for proper documentation of the
daily operation of the animal waste management system.

Invalid Waste Utilization Plan
Your current waste plan written last fall lists a summer annual (typically millet) interseeded in the fescue
field. This is generally not an accepted practice since it can hurt the fescue field through shading and
subsequent death of the fescue crop. Such a cropping system may worts if the farm was grazed with an
adequate herd to prevent excessive growth by the summer annual. In addition, this plan was not
followed by you this year since the summer annual was not planted and the farm is not being grazed.
With regard to wetted acres, your facility's status was changed to being pended for a Wetted Acres
Determination. You will have three options to meet this requirement before or once you receive a letter
from the Division of Water Quality in Raleigh. 1) Have a full blown Wetted Acres Determination
completed by a qualified technical specialist. 2) Have an irrigation layout/map generated showing proper
alignment of pulls, approximate acreage covered by each pull based on'length & width, and a waste plan
created to match with a nitrogen deficit..3) Obtain a new, updated aerial photo of farm showing lagoon
and houses with total acreage in the fescue field shown -on the map and a new waste plan generated
.based on 75°% of total field acreage that still creates a nitrogen deficit.
To correct these violations, please submit a detailed Plan of Action to the Wilmington Regional
Office of the Division of Water Quality that describes the actions to be taken to address these violations
of Animal Waste Permit AWS 310668.
The proposed written plan of action must be received by this office within fifteen (15) working
days of the receipt of this notice. Upon approval and implementation of the plan, you must notify this
office when the corrective actions are complete. Contact your SerGice Company, county Soil & Water
district office, or county extension office for any assistance they may be able to provide.
If the violations are not corrected, the Division of Water Quality may pursue additional avenues
to achieve compliance including civil penalties, injunctive relief, or permit -revocation.
If you have any questions concerning this matter please do not hesitate:to contact either Mr.
Dean Hunkele or Mr. Stonewall Mathis, of our Wilmington Regional Office at [phone] or Mr.

Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 31-668
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. IRRI, IRR2, DRY I, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR I, 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

Mr. Ira Delano Johnson

Teachey, NC 28464
Dear Mr. Johnson:
Enclosed is your lagoon design prepared by Dogwood Farms Inc. and reviewed and approved
by the Natural Resources Conservartion Service. This lagoon, as designed, meets NRCS
standards and specifications. It is the responsibility of the contractor and you to build the
lagoon according to the design. You should contact the swine company to get assistance in the
layout of the lagoon for construction. If you have any questions during construction, please
contact this office or the swine company.
Please be aware that NRCS has not checked the excavation and fill volumes of dirt. The swine
company has computed these figures and any questions regarding the amount of excavation
should be directed to the company. NRCS does not certify that excavation and fill volumes are
correct.
IMPORTANT
If you would like for the MRCS to certify that the lagoon has been built to design
specifications and meets MRCS specifications and standards, personnel from this
office must be present during the lagoon liner installation. Liners installed
without NRCS personnel onsite may be required to have testing performed by an
engineering firm prior to certification. The reason for this requirement is that
liners are very critical to the proper construction of the lagoon and the moisture
content of the liner material as well as the method of installation and compaction
greatly affect the performance of the liner. We will also need to conduct a final
construction check prior to animal waste being put in the lagoon. State law
requires that new and expanded operations Have lagoons that meet the MRCS
minimum design specifications. In order to certify the lagoon, we must get
bottom elevations as well as top of dike and sideslope readings. If given a few
days notice, we will try to schedule the construction checks prior to the contractor
leaving the site; however, since we schedule several days in advance, it is best if
you let us know as soon as possible when you believe that a construction check will
be needed.
Also enclosed is a contractor certification that must be signed by the contractor once the lagoon
is completed. We need this form returned to us before we certify that a lagoon meets our
specifications. You may want to inform your contractor prior to beginning the job that you
will need him to certify his work meets the design requirements.

Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon
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 DEM regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
Page: 1

ANIMAL WASTE UTILC-tTION PLAN
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.)
5760 pigs x .40 tons waste/pigs/year = 2304 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
5760 pigs x .48-lbs PAN/pigs/year = 2764.8 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.

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 437.76 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
Page: 5

ANIMAL WASTE UTILI ATION PLAN
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 2188.8
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid
bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 7.296 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 17.5104 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
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application
rates and amounts.

* 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.
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
Mr. Johnson's plan as written will accomodate a corn wheat soybean rotation on this
tract of land. This rotation allows for half the cropland to be planted to corn
and wheat and the other half to soybeans on a two year croping rotation.

WASTE UTILIZA'. .JN 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 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 or flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be appl�sd 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. 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 from any perennial stream or river (other than
an irrigation ditch or 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. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
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 a 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, po2ution 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.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority. It is especially
important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and
wet periods.
Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the
receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are
extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means
that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to
a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to
receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet
periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low
marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to
maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste
utilization plan will allow it.
Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to
irrigate does not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods.
Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of
state law and subject to penalty action.
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following:
Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam.
Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative
covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to
maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be
based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain
a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas
should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or
equivalent.
Brush and' trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be
done by mowing, spraying, 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 favorable for
heavy vegetative growth.
NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter
the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating
the waste.
Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of
the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be
checked should include, as a minimum, the following:
Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes —look for:
1. separation of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts or minerals
4. overall conditicn of pipes

r
Lagoon surface —look for:
1. undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
Embankment --look for:
1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes
2. side slope stability --slumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam.
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewalI, baffles in the lagoon may be
used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening 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 need to provide a temporary fix if there is a threat
of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy .equipment is a serious
undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
Transfer Pumps —check for proper operation of:
1. recycling pumps
2. irrigation 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 repair or
replacement.
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently 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 your lagoon 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 parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste
treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be
coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing
(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. It is advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
record the level again 4 to b 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
planning 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
Startup:
1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before
waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the
end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial
filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of
the lining.
4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize
bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather).
5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon
liquid volume. This seeding should occour at least two weeks prior to the
addition of wastewater.
b. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below
7.0, add agricultural lirne at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid
pH 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 specialist is recommended
if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm
season.
Loading:
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better 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.
.. . i

Practice water conservation —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 keeping feeders adjusted. This
will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon
Management:
Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and
the full temporary storage level.
Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the
minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1).
Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on
nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage
will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly,
irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon
storage for the winter.
The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest
point of the dam or embankment.
Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage
level unless you are removing sludge.
Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid
surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible.
Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation,
molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon.
Frequently- remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or
wherever they are installed.
Maintain strict 'vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges.
Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment.
Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is
full or before it fills 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:
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:

proper lagoon sizing,
mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long terra will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require more land to properly'use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
Hire a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller
pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland;
and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul
and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm
an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back
into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader
onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be
limited by these nutrients -as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close
attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains
intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should
stop the activity 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 phosphorus and heavy metal content
than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus
and metal 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 high soil -test phosphores, 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 nutrient value.
The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
could increase the concern of neighbors.

Possible -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, overtopping, and breach of the
dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for
ensuring structure safety. Items which. may lead to lagoon failures include:
Modification of the lagoon structure —an example 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 dams.}
Lagoon liquid [evels—high levels are a safety risk.
Failure to inspect and maintain the dam.
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 lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving -water will soon cause
gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large discharge
of wastewater and possible dam failure.

I -►
System Calibration
Information presented in manufacturer'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 in 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 of 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. Calibration 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,
tars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section 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 cart. You should compute the average application rate for all
nonuniformity 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 specialist for assistance.

)PERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN SHEET 1 OF 2
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and
180 days of temporary storage. The time required for the planned
fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary
due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount
of fresh water added to the system.
The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for.
(1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also
included is storage for the 25 year - 24 hour storm for the location.
The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be
fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess
rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will not
be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage
volume must always be available.
A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin
pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from
building(s). If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to
begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation
to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established
to stop pumping 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 excessive odors during
start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. solids should be
covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete,
flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not
be used for flushing after initial filling.
2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment)
before land application.
3. Begin temporary storage pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches the
elevation 48.3 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump -
out when the fluid level reaches elevation 46.1 . This temporary
storage, less 25 yr 24 hr storm, contains 63777 cubic feet or
477050 gallons.

SHEET 2 OF 2
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is
one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3
inch per hour. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the
lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed
to maintain a vigorous stand.
6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
establish in vegetation.
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable
outlets.
8. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around
waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will
not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a
residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall be applied in a
manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of
pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ-
mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

SHEET 1 OF 2
SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS
FOUNDATION PREPARATION:
The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be
Geared of trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush, boulders,sod and rubbish.
Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoil from
the lagoon and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on
the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area of the
lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior
to placing the first lift of fill material to get a good bond.
EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT:
The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines,
grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall
be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen soil, stones over
6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent
they are suitable, excavated materials can be used as fill. The fill
shall be brought up in approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9
inches in thickness when loose and priorto compaction. Each layer
will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading
equipment or standard tamping roller or other equivalent method.
Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed
to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectible.
NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER
SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon shall be
installed using the more impervious materials from the required
excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for
settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height and with an impoundment
capacity of 10 acre-feet or more fall under the jurisdiction of the NC
Dam Safety Law. The height is defined as the difference in elevation
from the constructed height to -the downstream toe of the dike.
Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive
erosion and sedimentation.
LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.8 ft.
NOTE: LINERS {PARTIAL OR FULL} ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS
INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERIAL IS
ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LIN
IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE SOILS REPOR'
When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be over -
excavated below finish grade to the specified depth as measured
perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall be backfilled
as specified to grade with a SCS approved material Qe - CL,SC,CH).
REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN THE PLANS FOR SPECIAL
CONSIDERATIONS.

SHEET 2 OF 2
Soil liner material shall come from an approved borrow area. The
minimum water content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture
content which relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneaded
in the hand it will form a ball which does not readily separate. Water
shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture content
during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner
material shall not be less than optimum water content during placement.
The maximum water content relates to the soil material being too wet
for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Proper
compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and
compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum ASTM D698 Dry Unit
Weight of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous lift
shall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement of the next
lift.
The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted perme-
ability of a clay liner, other than the type of Gay used for the
liner, is the efficient construction processing of the compacted liner.
The sequence of equipment use and the routing of equipment in an estab-
lished pattern helps assure uniformity in the whole placement and
compaction process. For most clay soils, a tamping or sheepsfoot
roller is the preferable type of compaction equipment.
The soil liner shall be protected from the discharge of waste outlet
pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator(rocks)
or using flexible outlets on waste pipes.
Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic..iiners and bentonite sealant.
When these are specified, additional construction specifications are
included with this Construction Specification.
CUTOFF TRENCH:
A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when
shown on a typical cross section in the plans. The final depth of the
cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation
materials.
VEGETATION:
All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded
to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construc-
tion according to the seeding specifications. Topsoil should be placed
on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch
shall be used if the recommended permanent vegetation is out of season
dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should be established as soon
as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates.
REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS
When the drains are encountered, the tile will be removed to a minimum
of 10 feet beyond the outside toe of slope of the dike. The tile
trench shall be backfilled and compacted with good material such as
SC, CL, or CH.

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