Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining alter treatment and application of the effluent. At dean 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 zrnc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied. Sites must first be evahiated fortheir 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.

Available storage capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity in days minis the manner 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.

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 Dean Hunkele on 5/12/00 was made to review the actual number of acres at your facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X". Category 1: The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Dean Hunkele the necessary information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre determination. Please submit this information to Dean Hunkele, 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 Dean Hunkele at (910) 395-3900.

FOR J. C. Earl Batchelor 524 Fatchel.or fed. Richlands NC. 28574 November 16, -1993 Your animal waste utilization plan has been specifically developed for your 1776 WEAN TO FEEDER SWINE operation.* The,plan is based on the soil types, craps to be grown, arld method of appli.catic-6 for= your particular Operation. They waste moist be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the - animal waste should be Wised -to reduce' the amount of commercial fertilizer required for thc- crops in the- fields where the waste, is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen. as the limiting nutr•iPrit. Waste should be analyzed before eacF► application and annual• soil tests are, encouraged 5o that 0.11 plant nutrients and lima can be balanced for realistic_ yield of the crops to be grown. Several -Factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to ma;:imi4e. tlie fertilizer value bf the waste and to ensure that: it is applied' i.ri'an envi.roi-i- mentally safe mariner. Always apply waste based on .the needs of the crap to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. The amount of available nitrogen for plant use is dependant on the method. of application. Soil type is important due to different leaching -poteit'ial and-yiPId potential. Waste shall not be applied to.land eroding at greater than 5 tons.per acre per year. Do not apply waste can saturated soils or on land when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions. may result in runoff.to surface waters. Wind conditions should also be considered - to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and reduce the potential for -pollutioni•, waste shoul.d be applied to a growing crop or no.t more than 30 days prier to planting. Soil incorporation of the waste will Conserve ;nu•tr ients and reduce odor problems. The acres needed to apply the animal waste are based on typical nutrient' content for this type of facility. Annual acreage requirements may. be more or less depending on the specific waste analysis report for your facility at the time of irrigation. ` Your waste uti.liaation plan is based on the following'; TABLE A.

The time required for the planned fluid level to be reached (permanent + temporary storage) may vary due to soil conditions flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. The designed 6 months temporary storage is an estimated volume based on: 1) waste from animals; 2) excess rainfall after evaporation; and 3) the largest 24 hour (one day) rainfall that occurs on the average of once every 25 years. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year. This estimate is based on 7 inches of excess rainfall which is equal to,or exceeds the highest 6 months excess in a year. The average annual excess rainfall is approximately 8 inches. Therefore, an average of 8-inches of excess rainfall will need to be pumped each 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 on the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed on this elevation to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain minimum treatment depth (6 feet). 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 fallowing 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 pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva- tion 50.2 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches elevation 48.2 or before the fluid depth is less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable bacteria). The design temporary storage, less 25 year storm is 22843 cubic feet or 170865 gallons. As stated before, this volume will vary considerably from year to year. 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. 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. B. 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. 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. SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS ---------------------------------------------------------- Clearing: All trees and brush shall be removed from the construction area before any excavating or fill is started. Stumps will be removed within the area of the foundation of the embankment and fill areas and all excavated areas. All stumps and roots exceeding one (1) inch in diameter shall be removed to a minimum depth of one (1) foot. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly before placement of embankment material. Lagoon site (and pad site if needed) to be stripped of topsoil (311) and stockpiled for use on dike and pad slopes (2-311). The topsoiling quantity is in excess of amounts specified on page one (1). Cut-off Trench: --------------- A cut-off trench (when specified) shall be installed as shown in the plans. Construction: ------------- Construction of excavated and earthfill areas shall be performed to' the neat lines and grades as planned. Deviations from this will require prior approval of the SCS. Earthfill shall be placed in max. of 611 lifts and not placed in standing water. Compaction shall be performed by the construction equipment or sheeps-foot roller during placement. The embankment -of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials. Construction of fill heights shall include ten (10) percent for settlement. To protect against seepage, when areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will need to be excavated a minimum of one (1) foot below grade and backfilled and compacted with a SCS approved material (ie-CL,SC,CH). Refer to the soil investigation information in the plans for special considerations. Precautions should be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. Vegetation: All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construction according to seeding specifications sheet.

It was observed that your spray records were incomplete by several months. Completed records were submitted on October 6, 1998 and indicated that 58 lbs/ac of nitrogen was applied to your spray field in excess of that allowed in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. i As I discussed with you during the inspection, excessive nitrogen application is a violation of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP), and subsequent infractions may result in a Notice of Violation and include a civil penalty. The CAWMP limits the loading rate of nitrogen at 275 lbs/ac for Coastal Bermuda and 50 lbs/ac for small grain over seed. In addition, your spray records must be kept current for each cropping cycle. In addition, your spray fields need to be maintained and harvested appropriately. Any assistance required in planning and implementing these or other appropriate best management practices may be obtained from your service company or by contacting the local Soil and Water Conservation District. 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 Water Quality has the authority to levy a civil penalty of not more than $10,000 per day per violation. 127 North Cardinal Dr., Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 Telephone 910-395-3900 FAX 910-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled110% post -consumer paper Mr. Earl Batchelor Page 2.
