Shepard Farms
Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Onslow County
Dear Phillip Shepard:
In accordance with your Notification of Change of Ownership received on October 18, 2006, we are
hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Phillip ,Shepard, authorizing the
operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in
accordance with General Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Shepard Farms, located in Onslow County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than an annual average of 750 Farrow to Wean 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 September 30, 2009, and shall hereby void
Certificate of Coverage Number AWS670056 dated 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.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Since this is a revised State
General Permit, it contains new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the
previous State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and
revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay careful attention to the record keeping
and monitoring conditions in this permit.
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.
Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Pennittee must submit
documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking
of the facility.
Per 15A NCAC 2H .0225(c) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100 foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any wetted area of a
spray field.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief
If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after the expiration date of the
General Permit, an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration.
This COC is not automatically transferable. A name/ownership change application must be submitted to
the Division prior to a name change or change in ownership.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to
apply for an individual permit by contacting the staff member listed below for information on this
process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding.
This facility is located in a county covered by our Wilmington Regional Office. The Regional Office
Aquifer Protection Staff may be reached at [phone]. If you need additional information
concerning this COC or the General Permit, please contact Miressa D. Garoma at [phone].

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of
cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements, and
proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being gown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or
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 in
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
the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

The Available Wastf Storage Capacity table provides an estimate ofthe 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.

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 must be carefidly 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 Irrigationgpplication Factors for each field in this plan are shown in the following table. Infiltration rate varies
with soils. If applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system, you must apply at a rate that will not result in
runoff. This table provides the maximum application rate per 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.

Dear Jack Talbert:
Thank you for your recent submittal of the information requested in our letter dated June 6, 2003.
We greatly appreciate the effort that you made in compiling this information and sending it to
our Wilmington Regional Office. We also appreciate the fact that you reported the problem with
high freeboard to our staff as required by your permit and worked with our staff to manage the
problem once it occurred. Upon reviewing the submitted records, staff have determined that the
issuance of this Notice of Deficiency is the appropriate action for the noncompliant lagoon
levels.
In the future, please continue to evaluate ways to maintain freeboard levels in the required range.
These methods include, but are not limited to, water conservation.practices, adding additional
application sites, updating your cropping systems, adding additional and/or more flexible
application equipment, and maintaining the lagoon levels at the lowest allowable and appropriate
levels throughout the year. Our staff looks forward to continuing to work with you and your
Technical Specialist to evaluate and implement any needed changes to your system.

Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director
Division of Water Quality
On May 28, 2003, a representative of your farm informed the Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) that there was high freeboard in your lagoon(s). DWQ needs more information to
determine the site -specific factors that resulted in the high freeboard at your farm.
Please provide the Wilmington Regional Office with the reasons for the high- freeboard
and your plan to prevent future freeboard violation(s). This explanation and plan must include
but is not limited to the following:
• Current freeboard level(s)
• Freeboard records for the past 12 months
• Spraying records for the past 12 months
• Rainfall records for the past 12 months for your farm (if available)
• A copy of your waste utilization plan (WUP) If your crops did not comply with your
WUP, provide details of the crops you did have for the past 12 months.

Memo
To: Mr. Dean Hunkele
Date: January 11, 2001
Re: Wetted Acres — Talbert's INC Faa-67-56
Message
Mr. Hunkele,
Please find enclosed Irrigation design for Trent Talbert. I have checked our files, and this
design does match a WUP we have dated 12/08/97. I left a message with Trent and will
make sure that he has a copy of both of these on site.
If you need any thing else just let me know.
Also, good luck on the "hunting" that you have been doing? E I hope that you hear what
you want to hear.
Thanks,
Dwaine K. Lganu

Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System
TalbertOs Inc
Facility Number 67-56
Onslow County
A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal
Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only
the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any
acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your
plan.
An evaluation by Dean Hunkele on 9/13/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your
facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of
the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X".
Category 1:
The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please
contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing 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 [phone]. If within 90 days you
are unable to provide Dean Hunkele with the information you are automatically
required to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2
below, within 180 days of receipt of this letter.

• r
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 it the form is not returned within the
required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility
into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation,
and/or injunctive relief.
Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable
Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please
note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all
the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan
must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will
review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by
kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install
or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer
must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Sonya Avant of our
Central Office staff at [phone] ext. 571.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION ?LAN
Producer: JACK TALBERT
Location: 668 HUGHES RD.
HAMPSTEAD NC 28443
Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: Existing Farrow to Weanling Swine
Number of Animals: 750.00 sows
(Design Capacity)
STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon
APPLICATION METHOD: Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or
groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops
in the fields where the waste is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil
tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be
balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization
plan'in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to
ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient content of the waste., Do not apply
more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
-2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and
available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than
5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land
eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than
10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter
straps 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.
PPage: -1

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems.
6. To maximize the value ofvti'he 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.)
750 sows x 5.1 tons waste/sows/year = 4575 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
t
750 sows x 5.4 lbs PAN/saws/year = 4050 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 660 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 3300
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 11 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 26.4 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

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.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SFECIFICATIONS
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 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.

Emergency Action Plan
This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operations are leaking, overflowing, or
running off the site. You should NOT wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave your property to
consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to ensure that this does not happen. This
- plan -should -be -available -to all ernployees-atAhe-fadlityas accidents, leaks, and breaks can happen at any..
time.
l) Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested
responses to problems are listed below:
a) Lagoon overflow:
• add soil to the berm to increase the elevation of the dam
• pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate
• stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waterers)
• call a pumping contractor
• make sure no surface water is entering the lagoon
Note: These activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the temporary storage level.
b) Runoff from waste application field:
• immediately stop waste application
• create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field
• incorporate waste to reduce further runoff
c) Leaking from the waste distribution system:
• pipes and sprinklers:
O stop recycle (flushing system) pump
OO stop irrigation pump
Os close valves to eliminate further discharge
® separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
• flush system, houses, solids separators:
OO stop recycle (flushing system) pump
© stop irrigation pump,
© make sure no siphon effect has been created
® separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
d) Leakage from base or sidewall of the lagoon. Often these are seepage as opposed to flowing leaks:
• dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back into the
lagoon
• if holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a
clay type soil.
NCCES, wUP version 1, page9

• other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil
Note: For permanent repair measures, lagoon problems require the consultation of an individual
experienced in their design and installation.
2) Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a)---Did-the-waste-reach-any_surface waters?
b) Approximately how much was released and for what duration?
c) Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage?
3) Contact appropriate agencies.
a) During normal business hours, call your DWQ regional office: Wilmington [phone]
after hours, emergency number: [phone]. Your phone call should include: your name,
facility, telephone number, the details of the incident, the exact location of the facility, and the location
or direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind conditions, what corrective measures have
been taken, and the seriousness of the situation.
b) If the spill leaves the property or enters surface waters, call the local EM:_(910) 347-4270
c) Instruct EM to contact the local Health Department: 910 347-2154
d) Contact CES: 910 455-5873
local SWCD office: 910 455-4472
local NRCS office: [phone]
and your integrator:
4) Implement procedures as advised by DWQ and technical assistance agencies to rectify the damage, repair the
system, and reassess the waste management plan to keep problems with release of wastes from happening
again. If you are unable to contract any of the above numbers call 911 or the Sheriff s Department and explain
your problem to them and ask that person to contact the proper agencies for you.
5) Contact the contractor of your choice to begin repair of problem to minimize off -site damage.

Please review the attached plan and specifications carefully. Retain
this plan for your use and records. It is strongly recommended that You,
your contractor, and Soil Conservation Service personnel are In agreement
as to how the waste lagoon is to be constructed. The Soil Conservation
Service personnel will meet with all Concerned parties and walls over the
site to explain all flags and markings. It is Important that everyone
understand what Is expected so that final construction meets plans and
speelfication and.the job can be certified for payment (If cost -sharing
Is involved).
The pad 'dimensions and grades are the best estimate. The BUILDER or
CONTRACTOR is RESPONSIBLE for final layout and design of the pads. The
Soil Conservation Service personnel will assist in a limited capacity,
as Its Major concern is the proper design and construction of the weste
treatment agoon.
The actual amount of materis1 required for pads and'dale ma'y vary from the
estimates. The design will attempt to balance cuts and fills as close as
possible. IF additional material is required after construction is complete
on the lagoon, the contractor and owner wlII negotiate on the price and
location of borrow area.

This lagoon is designed for waste treatment with Mihimurn odor Control. The
time required for the planned fluid level to be reached may vary due to
soil conditions, flushing operations.. and the amount of fresh water added
to the system.
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 runoff from the field or damage to crops.
The following items are to be carried outs
1. It i,s strongly'recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre -charged to

reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby
reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent at all times.
2. The attached waste utAlIzAtion plan shall be followed. This plan
recommends sampling and testing of waste (see Attachment B) before land
application.
3. Begin pump --out of the 16goon when fluid level reaches
elevation__ 51.3 as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump --out when the
fluid level reaches elevation __y_9.3_ _or before fluid depth is less than 6
feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable bacteria).
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch
and the recommended ma)simum application rate is 0,4 inch per hour.
S. 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 ii-r
vegetation.
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets.

Animal waste lxgonns are designed with permanent storage
(waste treatment volume) and temporary storage.
The designed 6 month temporary storage It an estimated
volume based ons 1) waste from anlmalsl 2) excess rainfall
after evaporation; and 3) the largest 24 hour (one day)
rainfall that occurs on the average of'once every 23 years.
The volume of waste generated from A given number o'f animals
wlII be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to
year. The excess rainfall will vary greatly during the year
and from year to year. This estimate it based on T Inches
of excess rainfall which Is equal to or bxteeds the highest
6 months.excess in a year. The average annual excess
rainfall is approximately 8 inches. Therefore, an average
of 9 Inches of excess rainfall wfII need to be pumped each
year. The 26 year rainfall Will not be a factor to consider
in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume .mnst
always be available. A maximum elevatioM Is determined In
each design to begin pumping and this Is Usually the outlet
Invert of,plpe from,building(s). It the nutlet pipe Is not
installed on the elevation to begin pumpinSt a permanent
marker must be Installed on this elevatlon to indicate when
pumping should begin. After Initial filling of lagoon, a
minimum 6 feet depth must be ma:intalMed or aneroble

rumping can be started or stopped anytlme between these two
elevations for operating convenlenet'96 long as site
conditions permit {conditions are wilathOrt toll, crop, and
equipment to apply waste to prevent runoff or ieaching).
For this lagoon the ma0 mum elevation to begin pumping is
jr2.3 feet and the minimum elevation to pump to Is ?,J feet.
The design temporary storage, less 29 year storm, Is I�_M6
cubic feet or9Q7.,3i-1 gallons. -As statld before, this volume
will vary considerably from year to year+
This lagoon is designed to flush buildings with recycled

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 67-56
Onslow 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. 1RRl, IRR2, DRY], DRY2, DRY3, SLURI, 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

Subject: Classification of Animal Waste Management Systems
Facility: Talbert's Inc
Facility ID #: 67-56
County: Onslow
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study Commission on
Agricultural Waste, was enacted by the North Carolina General Assembly on June 21, 1996. This bill
requires that a certified operator be designated as the Operator in Charge (OIC) by January 1, 1997, for each
animal waste management system that serves 250 or more swine, 100 or more confined cattle, 75 or more
horses, 1,000 or more sheep, or 30,000 or more confined poultry with a liquid animal waste management
system. Our records indicate that your facility is registered with the Division of Water Quality and meets
the requirements for designating an OIC.
A training and certification program is available for animal waste management system operators. For
information on the training programs please contact your local Cooperative Extension Agent. Operator
certifications are issued by the Water Pollution Control Systems Operators Certification Commission
(WPCSOCC). For information on the certification process, please contact the Technical Assistance and
Certification Unit at [phone]. The type of training and certification required for the operator of each
system is based on the nature of the wastes to be treated and -the treatment process(es) primarily used to treat
the animal waste. There are two types of animal waste management systems, type A and type B. Type A
animal waste management systems are generally used to treat waste generated by monogastric animals
which produce a low -fiber waste. Type B animal waste management systems are generally used to treat
waste generated by ruminants and other animals which produce a high -fiber waste. The type of training and
certification an operator receives should correspond with the type of system(s) they intend to operate. For
more information on the classification of your system please contact the Technical Assistance and
Certification Unit.
As the owner of an animal operation with an animal waste management system, you must designate an
Operator in Charge and must submit the enclosed designation form to the WPCSOCC. If you do not
intend to operate your animal waste management system yourself, you must designate an employee or
engage a contract operator to be the Operator in Charge. The person designated as the Operator in Charge,
whether yourself or another person, must possess a currently valid certificate of the appropriate type.
Sincerely,
Joseph B. McMinn, Supervisor

Dear Mr. Fisher -
This is to inform you that your completed registration form required by the recently
modified nondischarge rule has been received by the Division of Environmental Management
(DEM), Water Quality Section.
On December 10, 1992 the Environmental Management Commission adopted a water
quality rule which governs animal waste management systems. The goal of the rule is for animal
operations to be managed such that animal waste is not discharged to surface waters of the state.
The rule allows animal waste systems to be "deemed permitted" if certain minimum criteria are
met (15A NCAC 2H .0217). By submitting this registration you have met one of the criteria for
being deemed permitted.
We would like to remind you that existing feedlots which meet the size thresholds listed
in the rule, and any new or expanded feedlots constructed between February 1, 1993 and
December 31, 1993 must submit a signed certification form (copy enclosed) to DEM by
December_ 31L1997. New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31, 1993 must
obtain signed certification ' before animals are stocked on the farm. Certification of an
approved animal waste management plan can be obtained after the Soil and Water Conservation
Commission adopts rules later this year.
We appreciate you providing us with this information. If you have any question about
the new nondischarge rule, please contact David Harding at [phone].
