Dear Byron Ervin,
Reference is made to your request for rescission of the subject animal waste permit with the
submission of a completed Animal Waste Storage Pond and Lagoon Closure Report Form on
May 15, 2013. Staff from our Regional Office has confirmed that this Coverage is no longer
required. Therefore, in accordance with your request, Certificate of Coverage No. AWS670065
is rescinded, effective immediately.
If, in the future, you wish again to operate an animal waste management system you must first
apply for and receive a new animal waste permit Certificate of Coverage. Operating an animal
waste management system without a valid animal waste permit Certificate of Coverage will
subject the responsible party to a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per day.

The waste frond your anirnal 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 drown.
Several factors are important in iwpiementing your waste utilization plan ill order to maximize
thve fertilizer value of the waste rind to ensure that it is applied in oil environrnentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and thu nutrient
content of the waste. no not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation oxchunge Capacities, and available water molding capacities.
3. fJorinally waste shall be applied io land eracling at le: s ihar7 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may bo applied to I -,end erodingit 5 or more tons per acre arunreslly, but
le.^,s than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adeClUate filter Strips ar (1, c;StabliShed.
4. Do not apply wasto on s�alurated soils, wheD it is raining, or when the surface is frozen.
Dither of those conditions may result in runoff fo surface wators which is not allowed
tender DWQ regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also he considered io avoid drift and downwind odor
problows.
G. To maximize the value of tho nutrients for crop production and to reduce lure potential
for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than
30 cl;3ys prier to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting She waste or
diskiiig will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.

This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If your choose to change
methods In the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different Eapplica(ion
methods are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is rased on typical nutrient content
for this type: of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could
allow additional waste to be applied.. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to
be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must
be applied to maintain pf-I in the optimum range for specific crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC

This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant
available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above.
The applicator is cautioned that la and K may be over applied while heeling the N requiremenis,
In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen,
in interplanted fields ( i,c. small grain, e(c, intcrseeded in berrnuda), forage must be removed
through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they
reach a height of six io 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 he exercised no[ to lot Small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (Le,
April or May). Shading may result if small grain lets too high and this will defina[ely interfere
with stand of berrnudograss. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen
being u(ilized. 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. Yau may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the
time smali 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, 13ermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of
about two inches bctore drilling for best results.

The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at
agronomlc 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 U134 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon
sludge Lased on the rates of accumulation listed above.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 4320 pounds of plant
available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen por acre, you will need 14 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 125 puunds per acre, you will need 311.56 acres of land. Please note that these;
are only estirrrates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values
may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application
Actual' utilization rates will vary with soil typo, crop, and realistic yield expectaliorns for the spocific
application fields designated for sludge application at tune of rerrrovul,
A'PI_ICl-1•I"IDN 01: WAS't•l=- ICY 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
structuic., soil teXtUre, wator droplet size, and organic solids. The application arnount should not
exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the #line of irrigation nor should the
plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop,
If surface I rigallon is the method of land application for This plan, it is tho respornaibility or the
producer and iri igation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate tyre acres shown in the preccd'ing table. 1"LAUre to apl)iy the recommended mates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the fables may snake this plan invalid.
}This is the Inaxirnum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the arnount
of nitrogen allowed for the crop fs nat over appkxl, In many situations, the application
arnount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximurn
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil concI tions.
Your facility is designed for >'180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage +trust
be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the
waste stored irryour structure be within the 215 year 24 fruur storm storage or one foot of

I am writing to you on behalf of Mr. Byron Ervin, owner of the Ervin Farm, facility
number 67-65 in Onslow County, in response to an NOV, case number NOV-2007-PC-0392,
issued to his farm on May 29, 2007. The NOV was issued as a result of an inspection by
Wilmington Regional Staff which found that sludge from the swine farm had been applied
without a certified sludge management plan having been done.
We do not dispute that a sludge plan was not in place prior to the sludge being applied,
however, we would like to point out that Mr. Ervin did not willfully disregard this requirement.
He had requested and received two separate sludge plans of actions which he honestly thought
met the requirements with regards to having a sludge plan. In addition, upon being notified by
your staff that he needed additional documentation, he immediately contacted Murphy -Brown to
obtain technical assistance. In fact, the required sludge management plan was completed by Ms.
Toni King within two working days of the first inspection on May I". This quick turnaround, in
my opinion, demonstrates that Mr. Ervin did not intend to circumvent required obligations in this
matter, and immediately corrected the situation. It is worth noting that the development of the
sludge management plan, and the associated application records, revealed no over -applications of
nitrogen, ect. A copy of the plan, and sludge record keeping forms are attached for your review.
In closing, Mr. Ervin made a good faith effort to follow the rules with regard to sludge
application, and thought he was acting in a compliant manner. Upon notification otherwise, he
immediately corrected the situation by having a certified sludge plan completed. My evaluation
of the sludge application shows that no over -application, or buffer infringement occurred. Based
on this, we ask that the Ngoice of Violation be rescinded.
If there are ay3 f questions, please feel free to contact Mr. Ervin or me at any time.

Onslow County
Dear Mr. Erin:
This is to notify you of violations to Swine Waste Operation General Permit AWG100000 issued
on October 1, 2004 under Certificate of Coverage AWS670065.
On May 1, 2007, Mr. Chester Cobb and Mr. John Farnell from the Wilmington Regional Office
of the Division of Water Quality inspected the farm in response to a phone call on April 31, 2007
received from Ms. Donna Card with the Onslow County Soil and Water Conservation District of
sludge being applied from Byron Erin's farm. On that day, Mr. Cobb and Mr. Farnell observed
where sludge had been applied to fields not in a Certified Animal Waste Plan (CAWMP). Also,
no waste analysis or soil test report was found. Mr. Farnell went back on May 4, 2007 to
document the following violation:
1) Sludge removal not managed in accordance with the CAWMP
From the inspection, Mr. Farnell noted that sludge had been removed from the lagoon
and applied to separate fields not included in the Facility's Certified Animal Waste
Management Plan (CAWMP). According to a sludge management plan received on
May 3, 2007, application to the land had occurred from April 27, 2007 to May 2, 2007.
Waste applied to land not listed in the CAWMP is in violation of Condition No. 11. 2 of the
General Permit that states "No waste shall be applied upon areas not included in the
CAWMP."

)u did not pull soil samples prior to the sludge applications, you will need to pull soil samples
year of the areas where the sludge was applied. Be sure that the copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn)
levels are measured. In the future, make sure any fields where waste is to be applied is
covered within the Facility's CAWMP. See a qualified technical specialist for any modification
to the CAWMP.
In response to these violations, this office must receive the following information within
fifteen (15) working days of the receipt of this notice:
a. A written explanation of the violations and a description of the actions to be taken to
prevent recurrence of these violations.
In. A copy of any and all documents pertaining to the sludge removal from the farm.
These documents should include an amendment to CAWMP or sludge management
plan, waste analysis, field maps, and sludge application records.
You may wish to contact your County Soil & Water Conservation District Office, County
Extension office, a qualified technical specialist, and/or a professional engineer for any
assistance they may be able to provide.
Be advised that the Division of Water Quality may take further action in these matters including
10 assessment of civil penalties, injunctive relief, and permit revocation.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to call .Mr. John Farnell

NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN
Grower(s): Byron Ervin
Farm Name: Findiesen & Ervin
Farrow to Feeder
Farrow to Finish
Wean to Feeder
Feeder to Finish 2400
Storage Structure: Anaerobic
Storage Period: >180 days
Application Method: Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients In the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste
Is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed
before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are Important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it Is applied in an environmentally safe menrier:
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 leas than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established.
4. do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWq regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
8. 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
SO days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.

This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change
methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application
methods are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could
allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to
be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must
be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production,
This waste u(iltzatlon plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 16A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
LAND UTILIZATION SUMMARY
The following table describes the nutrient balance and land utilization rate for this facility
Note that the Nitrogen Balance for Crops indicates the ratio of the amount of nitrogen produced
on this facility to the amount of nitrogen that the crops under irrigallon may uptake and utilize
in the normal growing season.
Total Irrigated Acreage: 20.74
Total N Required 1st Year. 6439.4775
Total N Required 2nd Year: 6100.02
Average Annual Nitrogen Requirement of Crops: 6,295.20
Total Nitrogen Produced by Farm:- 5.520.00
Nitrogen Balance for Crops: (775.20)
The following table describes the specifications of the hydrants and fields that contain the crops
designated for utilization of the nitrogen produced on this facillty. This chart describes the size,
soil characteristics, and uptake rate for each crop in the specked crop rotation schedule for this
facility.

This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant
available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above.
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements.
In the future, regulations may require farmers In some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients, This plan only addresses nitrogen. .
In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, Interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed
through grazing, hay, and/or silage,' Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they
reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a
height of four inches, in fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care
should be exercised not to lei small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere
with stand of bermudagrass. This loss or stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen
being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is
the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the

The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is
reoommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at
agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to
prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production faellity will produce
approximately 864 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon
sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 4320 pounds of plant
available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda gross hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 14 acreas of land. if you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 126 pounds per acre, you will need 34,5E acres of land. Please note that these
are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values
may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application
Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific
application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY iRFUGATION:
The Irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation
such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil
structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not
exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the
plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is Installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown In the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan Invalid.
*This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount
of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application
amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen Ilmllation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for >180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every a months. In no instance should the volume of the
waste stored In your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of
freeboard except in the event of the 26 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment
is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown In the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for seeiatance in
determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste.

(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to
protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc.,
are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed
and accessible. Berms and structures should be Inspected regularly for evidence of
erosion, leakage, 'or discharge.
18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and Implementing a "closure plan" which will . eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19 Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be Inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills, A regular maintenance checklist should be
kept on site.
20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct
human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human
consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal
waste during the crop season.
21 Highly visible markers shall be lnstalled to mark the top and bottom elevations of the
temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons, Pumping shall be
managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to
mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds,
22 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually
at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining
nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients,
resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in
the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals
approach excessive levels, pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop
production, Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept. for a minimum of five years.
Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years,
Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for a minimum of five
years.

Dear Mr. Ervin: z l `y ,
On October 24, 2006, I performed.your annual',Operational Review`df 2500 Feeder to Finish
swine operation. Your farm manager, Marshall Futrell, was present for. s inspection.
At the time of this inspection your lagoon was viewed'at 26"not ad`;ideaF level going into the
winter, especially wtfh only 7.22 wettable acres'of small n to um on At 1001bs. Nitrogen,
you have p lit winddMMith 50 lbs N a hcable:until thed 'of thismon r�ti
y p pp ' t1i,;and then again only
February and Mard F ` " < + ,
As we discussed yesterday;by phone,.Pm concerned with the management o�fsyour lagoon. With
a couple of large raxnfaltmevents, thls;summe early fall, I .ve.done twoPOArs on your behalf due
to high freeboard levels u`Although'.your Waste Utillzation_Plan states you •have enough wettable
acres, the cropping sequence s, hindenng'you fromrurigating after laeavyjii
.ralnfalI due to the
application windows for$ le specific row crop, �nJthis case, soybea�.s`
f
Another hindrance to managing your Iagoon.is_the..arnoW-6fsludge'You informed me that
someone from Murphy -Brown willbe` doingryourPan.of,`actibnas well as a waste utilization
plan for the removal and land application,'of you-r.'excess sludge: Please have a representative
with your integrator provide this office witti copies'of b h documents.
The concerns above have lead up to us also discussing record keeping for this facility. Rainfall
and lagoon levels were incorrect, as a plan of action was done in July and September based on
lagoon levels of 19" and 18", and yet your records indicated neither. Based on the IRR 2's I
reviewed, there are definitely discrepancies. Your farm manager thought perhaps he may have
forgotten a few irrigation events, and you admitted to knowledge of irrigating on neighboring
land, not written into your waste utilization plan.
I have no choice but to forward my findings to the Division of Soil & Water and DWQ.

Accurate recordkeeping is essential. If you feel you need additional acres to better manage your
lagoon, obtain a 3'd party agreement from a neighboring land owner and have your tech specialist
include these acres into your waste plan.
If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Facility Number: 67-65
Onslow County
Dear Mr. Ervin:
This is to notify you of a violation to Swine Waste Operation General Permit AWG100000 issued
on May 1, 2003 under Certificate of Coverage AWS670065.
On June 18, 2004, Mr. Chester Cobb from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality performed an inspection of your animal operation and the animal waste
management system serving your operation. During the inspection, the following violation was
noted:
1) Over application of PAN (Plant Available Nitrogen)
From review of the irrigation records, Mr. Cobb noted that approximately 122 lb PAN 1 ac
had been applied wheat (2003 -- 2004) on Field #1 Pull #2. The Certified Animal Waste
Management Plan (CAWMP) lists 108 lb PAN 1 ac for wheat on this field. This
represents an over application of about 14 lb PAN 1 ac. The over application of PAN
may have been avoided with better record keeping. A waste analysis of 0.98 lb PAN /
1000 gal was used in the calculations when the waste analyses of 1.3 or 2.6 lb PAN 1
1000 gal should have been used.
This is in violation of Condition 11.4 of the General Permit that states "Land application
rates shall be in accordance with the CAWMP. In no case shall land application rates
exceed the Plant Available Nitrogen rate for the receiving crop or result in runoff during
any given application."

Dear Mr. Ervin:
Thank you for reporting to the Wilmington Regional Office this year when the lagoon levels rose
and became noncompliant. The Division of Water Quality 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.
You were sent a Notice of Violation and Request for Information concerning Inadequate
Freeboard on April 15, 2003. The Wilmington Regional Office never received the requested
information. Thus, an inspection was performed by Mr. Chester Cobb from the Wilmington
Regional Office on December 3, 2003 to review the requested farm records.
During his inspection, he noted an over application of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) on the
small grain overseed for Pulls 6 and 7 during February 2003. For Pull 6, approximately 5 lb
PAN / ac was applied in excess of the 50 lb PAN / ac rate specified in the Certified Animal
Waste Management Plan (CAWMP), For Pull 7, approximately 6 lb PAN / ac was applied in
excess of the 50 lb PAN lac rate. This is a violation of your CAWMP. An over application of
PAN was also documented during a compliance inspection on August 13, 2002. Continued over
applications of PAN will be subject to further enforcement actions taken by the Division of
Water Quality such as issuance of a Notice of Violation, assessment of civil penalties, injunctive
relief, and permit revocation. If you do not understand the guidelines written in your CAWMP,
please seek technical assistance. You may wish to contact your County Soil & Water
Conservation District Office, County Extension office, a qualified technical specialist, or your
integrator for any assistance they may be able to offer.

Ervin Farm
Facility Number: 67-65
Onslow County -
Dear Mr. Ervin:
This is to notify you of deficiencies of Swine Waste General Permit Number AWG100000 under which
your facility is covered by Certificate of Coverage AWS670065.
On August 13, 2002,1 performed an inspection of your animal operation and the animal waste
management system serving your operation. During the inspection, I noted the following:
I) The Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) for your facility allows up to 108
pounds of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) per acre to be applied to the wheat crop on Field 1
Pull 1. 116 pounds of PAN per acre was applied to the 2001-2002 wheat crop on Field 1 Pull 1.
This is a deficiency of Condition 1I.4 of the General Permit that states "Land application rates
shall be in accordance with the CAWMP. In no case shall land application rates exceed the Plant
Available Nitrogen rate for the receiving crop or result in runoff during any given application."
2) The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) Regional Office was not notified of the overapplication of
PAN noted in item 1 above. This is a deficiency of Condition II1. 6 of the General Permit that
states in part "The Permittee shall report by telephone to the appropriate Regional Office as soon
as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of ... overappiying
animal waste either in excess of the limits set out in the CAWMP or where runoff enters surface
waters."
3) There was no analysis of the animal waste conducted within 60 days of application events that
occurred in January 2002. This is a deficiency of Condition III.4 of the General Permit that
states in part"An analysis of the animal waste shall be conducted as close to the time of
application as practical and at least within 60 days (before or after) of the date of application."
You also need to be sure to use an analysis of the animal waste conducted within 60 days of the
date of application to determine the amount of PAN applied for that application in accordance
with Condition III. 5 of the General Permit.

4) Waste appears to be discharging from the swine house due to swine lying in front of the flush
gutter and preventing waste from properly entering the swine house. This is a deficiency of
Condition II. l of the General Permit that states "The collection, treatment, and storage facilities,
and land application equipment and fields shall be maintained at all times and properly operated."
In response to these deficiencies, a detailed Plan of Action must be submitted to this office. This Plan of
Action must list the following:
a. The individual deficiencies.
b. A description of the actions proposed to be taken to bring each deficiency to compliance,
as applicable.
C. A description of the actions proposed to be taken to prevent the recurrence of each
deficiency.
d. A list showing the dates of when these actions will be accomplished.
The proposed written plan of action and information must be received by this office within fifteen
(15) working days of your receipt of this notice.
Be advised that the Division of Water Quality may take further action in these matters including issuance
of a Notice of Violation, assessment of civil penalties, injunctive relief, and permit revocation.
You may wish to contact your Service Company, County Soil & Water Conservation District Office,
County Extension office, a qualified technical specialist, and/or a professional engineer for any assistance
they may be able to provide.

Findeisen & Ervin Farm
Facility Number 67-65
Onslow County
Dear Byron Ervin:
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 5/5/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your facility
that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of the
following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X".
Category 1:
The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please
contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing 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.

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.
PIease 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.

2. General Permit and COC Not Available
During the inspection it was observed that you did not have a copy of your General Permit and Certificate
of Coverage available at the time of the inspection. Failure to have these documents is a violation of your
General Permit, specifically, Part 1. Performance Standards. Section 4.
If you do not have a copy of these documents, then contact this office for replacements.
3. Failure To Have Components of CAWMP
During the inspection itwas observed that you failed to have the following component of your certified animal
waste management plan: Lagoon Design. It should have been submitted to Raleigh with you General Permit
application, thus you should have a copy and need to place it in the record box.
4. No Operator -in -Charge Designated
Prior to or during the inspection it was noted that DWQ has no record of an Operator -in -Charge (OIC) listed
for your facility. This is a violation of the General Permit under Part V. General Conditions; Section 2. Each
facility is required to have an actively licensed OIC designated. Please complete the form left on -site and
mail to the address indicated within 15 days of your receipt of this notice. Back-up OIC designees can be
listed on the same form or on another copy of the form, but please indicate name identified is the back-up
operator.
No Cover Crop in Field Listed in Waste Plan
During the inspection it was observed that you were not following your certified animal waste utilization plan.
Your waste plan calls for a small grain to be planted behind soybeans, however, this was not being followed.
This is a violation of the General Permit under Part 2. Operation S Maintenance Requirements; Section 2.
This plan was constructed for your facility to adequately address the amount of animal waste produced by
utilizing it on planted/managed cover crops on specific fields. This plan must always be followed without
exception. If you would like to change your cropping system, then a technical specialist prior to making any
cropping changes must amend your waste utilization plan.
You need to contact Kraig Westerbeek with Murphy Farms or the District office to have your waste plan
reviewed for possible changes.
In addition, all cover crops applied to must be harvested and removed from the fields. This includes
the small grain overseed by grazing or haying and bermuda by haying as the waste plan is written now. As
was discussed at the farm, I would strongiy.encourage you to fully utilize the nitrogen availability from the
lagoon on your row crops to limit the need to apply to the bermuda. You can mow the bermuda field every
otherweek or so until waste application begins and this should help improve the quality of this field. It may
have to be re -sprigged at least in areas next spring if it does not improve.
Keep in mind, that all commercial nitrogen use must be documented and deducted from the PAN
balance on crops. Under your waste plan, an overseed would not likely be needed if you were at or very
near the stop pumping point of the lagoon since a row crop small grain should be available on the other
fields.
Furthermore, yourwaste plan needsto be revised and based on.the irrigation design as it is installed
to meet Wetted Acres. You will be receiving a letter from Raleigh in the near future requiring this to be
completed. Now is the time to have it done along with any desired cropping changes.

Subject: Notice of Violation
Findeisen & Ervin Farm
Facility Number: 67-65
Onslow County
Dear Mr. Ervin:
This isto notify Mr. Byron Ervin, 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
670065>.
On September 19, 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:.
Inadequate Record Keeping
During the inspection the following problems with record keeping -were observed at your facility:
Freeboard Records — No freeboard records were being maintained. Weekly freeboard records for all lagoons
on -site are required by the General Permit Part III. Monitoring & Reporting Requirements. Section 2. 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 -- The last waste sample report was dated May 1999 and spray records were using this value.
A dated waste analysis report for each lagoon that irrigation occurs from is required within 60 days of any
irrigation event by the General Permit Part Ill. Monitoring & Reporting Requirements. Section 4. For example,
waste report is 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.

Mr. Byron Ervin
September 25, 2000
Page 2
However, the grower is cautioned against applying too often without knowing the nitrogen content of the lagoon
on low PAN crops (like over -seeds) 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 — The last soil sample report was from 1997. A dated soil sample report for each spray field in
the waste utilization ,plan is required (Part III. Monitoring & Reporting Requirements. Section 3) once per
calendar year. 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
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.
2. General Permit and COC Not Available
During the inspection it was observed that you did not have a copy of your General Permit and Certificate of
Coverage available at the time of the inspection. Failure to have these documents is a violation of your General
Permit, specifically, Part I. Performance Standards. Section 4.
3. Cover Crop Needs Improvement
During the inspection it was observed that your cover crops need improvement. Specifically, the bermuda field
needed to .be hayed and volunteer grasses/ weeds controlled. Use of herbicides, .addition of lime, timely
harvest, and other practices are needed for improvement since this field is being utilized as a primary
application site rather than the row crops listed in.the waste utilization plan.
For all crops, especially grassed pastures or hay fields, soil pH must be maintained forthe proper health of the
crop and uptake of nutrients from application. Lime must be applied (Part 11. Operation A Maintenance
Requirements.• Section 3) according to the rate indicated on your annual soil analysiswhen the amount is equal
-to or greater than 1.04on/acre. In no instance, should more than 1.5 tonslacre•be applied during any year. It
takes approximately4-6 months for lime to work throughout the root zone; thus lime should be applied at the
appropriate time for it to be available to -the next primary summer crop cycle.
Grassed fields must:be harvested to avoid disease, control weed growth, .and remove applied nutrients.
Bermuda fields should be cut for hay at a height of 16-20 inches and soil pH maintained at 6-6.5. Herbicide may
need to be applied periodically for control of broadleaf weeds or volunteer grasses. Grassed fields may need
to be re -sprigged or re -seeded periodically in areas to maintain an adequate cover.
4. Inactive Waste Lagoons
During the inspection it was observed that there are inactive lagoons at this facility with no documentation as
to their closed status. Such structures are required to be maintained as an active lagoon with appropriate
freeboard maintained, trees -kept from growing on the structure, and acceptable vegetation maintained. This
is required until the lagoon is officially closed out according to NRCS standards and a complete lagoon closure
report documented by a technical specialist. A copy of the closure report must be maintained with the farm
records and the appropriate closure report form submitted to DWQ in -Raleigh. Raleigh has no record that the
old lagoons have been officially closed.

Mr. Byron Ervin
September 25, 2000
Page 3
S. Waste System Requires Improvement
During the inspection it was observed that the potential exists -for stormwaterto enter the lagoon via active and
abandoned collection boxes that are uncovered. Potential outside sources of water should be investigated and
eliminated. This can pose a lagoon level management problem and perhaps has contributed to the high levels
at this site for the past 2 years including this most recent visit.
S. Failure To Have Components of CAWMP
During the inspection it was observed that you failed to have the following components of your certified animal
waste management plan: Lagoon Design and BMP Checklists. All of these items should have been submitted
to Raleigh with you General Permit application, thus you should have a copy and need to place them in the
record box. In addition, your certified waste utilization plan needs to be re -written based on the irrigation design
you have on -site along with a map/diagram that matches the design and waste plan.
_Checklists, Lagoon Designs Irrigation Design, Site Maps —A copy of odor control/pest contra[/mortality disposal
checklists, lagoon design(s), irrigation design/layout, and site aerial maps/photos of all spray fields listed in
waste utilization plan are required to be on -site as part of your certified animal waste management plan.
To correct these violations, please submit a detailed Plan of Actionto 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 670065.
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 Service 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 civilpenalties, injunctive relief, or permit revocation.
If you have any questions concerning this matter please do not hesitate to contact either Mr. Dean
Hunkele or Stonewall Mathis, of our Wilmington Regional Office at [phone] or Mr. Steve Lewis in

Dear Byron Ervin:
In accordance with your application received on January 4, 1999, we are forwarding this Certificate of
Coverage (COC) issued to Byron Ervin, 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 Findeisen & Ervin Farm, located in Onslow County, with an animal capacity of
no greater than 2400 Feeder to Finish and the application to land as specified in the Certified Animal
Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until April 30, 2003. 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, with no discharge of wastes to
surface waters. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and
operational information must be established for this farm. Any increase in waste production greater than
the certified design capacity or increase in number of stocked animals above the number authorized by
this COC will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and shall be completed prior to
actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
The facility's CAWMP meets all requirements in place at the time of certification. However, it appears
that the irrigation system on site may not adequately cover all acreage listed in the Waste Utilization
Plan. The owner should address this inconsistency as soon as possible.
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.

Additional Information Request
Findeisen & Ervin Farm
Animal Waste Operation
Onslow County
The Nan;Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject application. Additional
information is required before we can continue our review. Please address the following by April 26, 2000:
Based on conversations with Mike Carroll in the Onslow Soil and Water Conservation office, it is our
understanding that the old lagoon at the facility is in the process of being closed. However, in order to
process the permit for this facility we will need one of the following:
- A copy of the lagoon closure report,
- A note in the narrative section of the Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) that states you intend to close
this lagoon in accordance with NRCS standards, or
- An amendment to the WUP that states that you intend to manage the older lagoon along with
calculations that show the estimated nitrogen concentration and how it affects the nitrogen balance at
the facility, plans for irrigating from this lagoon, estimated rainfall amounts, and any other pertinent
information for the management of the lagoon.
Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist. Please
reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. All information should be signed,
sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below. The information requested by this letter must be
submitted on or before April 26, 2000 or the Division will return your application as incomplete in accordance with 15A
N.C.A.C. 2H .0200 and your facility will be considered to be operating without a permit.
Please be advised that operation of the subject animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and will subject you to the enforcement authority of the Environmental Management
Commission.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please call me at [phone], extension 546.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 67-65
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. 1RR], IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the
DWQ staff at [phone] ext. 571.

(Design Capacity)
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface 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. 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. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, Ieaching
potentials, cation exchange capacities,'and available water holding capacities.. Normally
waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With
special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per
year. 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. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift
and downwind odor probl ms. To maximize the value of nutrients fair crop production
and to reduce the potent7for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or
applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
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. Attached you will find information on
proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for
analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A
NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have
appropriate equipvneut to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown
and surface application:

1. Animal waste shall hot 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 tided
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 waterq 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.

Dear Byron Ervin:
The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject application. Additional
information is required before we can continue our review. Please address the following by February 26, 1999:
I. Please provide lagoon capacity documentation (design, as -built calculations, etc.). Be sure to include any
site evaluations, wetland determinations, or hazard classifications that may be applicable.
2. If the facility manager is different from the land owner, then the General Permit Application must be signed
by both the owner and the manager.
3. The irrigation parameters listed in your irrigation design do not include the application amount for a single
application. This information should be included in the WUP. The total amount during a single
application should not exceed one inch.
4. When utilizing soybeans in a crop rotation, residual nitrogen should be accounted for in the next crop. It
appears that the nitrogen residual from soybeans is not accounted for in the Waste Utilization Plan (WUP)
submitted. Please contact your technical specialist to review your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) and revise
the WUP to account for residual nitrogen from soybeans, if necessary.
5. The NRCS required specifications should be included in the Waste Utilization Plan.
6. Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) lists the Yield for Fescue on Tract 1844, field 8 as 4.2 tons per acre.
This is higher than currently recommended. Please contact your technical specialist to revise the Waste
Utilization Plan or provide justification that supports the increased yield as shown in the current WUP.
Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist.
Application windows for Bermuda Hay and Small Grain should be included in Table 1 of the WUP for
Tract 701, Field 3.
It appears that the yields and nitrogen uptake rates are higher than currently recommended for the soil types
present on each field. The fields need to be divided among different soil types or the most limiting soil
(Rains soil for fields 1 and 2 and Craven soil for field 3) should be used for calculating nitrogen uptake.
Please contact your technical specialist to revise the Waste Utilization Plan or provide justification that

RE: Byron Ervin FACILITY # 67-65
Message
On March 12,1998 a visit was made to the Byron Ervin Farm for survey on lagoon closures with the State
Engineers. After reviewing the first 2 small lagoons the 3'd lagoon was inspected for closure. Upon the
inspection myself (Bill Norris) and Mike Carroll noticed a breach in the lagoon wall in the far right hand
corner. We made our way back into the wooded area to observe the damage of the lagoon wall. The
breach was all the way through the dam. At that time no discharge was taking place. From the signs in
the ditch the lagoon had discharged in the past. When and how much could not be determined. The ditch
around the area was dry expect for a few puddles in the ditch but showing no waste as per sight. The
breach looked as if it had happen some time ago.
Asked the operator in charge to lower the liquid level even more below the breach and fill the breach with
clay material to seal up. All items have been completed. The area around the lagoon is cleared and was
inspected for any other damage, none was found. Pictures have been taken.
For additional information please feel free to contact me.

Facility' Number: 67-65.
•Onslow County,.,
On June 19, 1997, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality
inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. It was observed that a small
leak of animal waste was originating from the base of house number five: No ,discharge of waste to
surface waters was observed at that time.
USDA-NRCS requirements specify that waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reel, etc.,
should be inspected and maintained on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns,' leaks and spills. Animal
waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances or direct
application. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not exceed the soil infiltration rate such that excessive
ponding and/or runoff of wastewater does not occur offsite or to surface waters.
di As I discussed with you during the inspection, the waste containment structure should be grouted
to seal this leak.
Any assistance required in planning and implementing these or other appropriate best management
practices may be obtained from your integrator or by contacting the local Soil and Water Conservation
District.

Dear Mr. Ervin:
On June 19, 1997, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality
inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. It was observed that a small
leak of animal waste was originating from the base of house number five. No discharge of waste to
surface waters was observed at that time.
USDA-NRCS requirements specify that waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reel, etc.,
should be inspected and maintained on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. Animal
waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances or direct
application. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not exceed the soil infiltration rate such that excessive
ponding and/or runoff of wastewater does not occur offshe or to surface waters.
As I discussed with you during the inspection, the waste containment structure should be grouted
to seal this leak.
Any assistance required in planning and implementing these or other appropriate best management
practices may be obtained from your integrator or by contacting the local Soil and Water Conservation
District.

Dear Mr. Ervin:
�EHNR
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
call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt of our staff at 919/733-0026.

Dear Mr. Ervin:
On March 21, 1996, in response to an anonymous complaint, Staff from the Wilmington Regional
Office of the Division of Environmental Management inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s)
serving this operation. It was observed that the lagoon had approximately two feet of freeboard which
meets the current minimum standards. In addition, there was no evidence of a discharge of animal waste
from the facility and appropriate setbacks for the application of animal waste appear to have been
observed.
As a reminder, On December 10, 1992 the Environmental Management Commission adopted a
water quality rule which governs animal waste management systems (15A NCAC 2H .0217). 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. Failure to follow the rule may result in the facility losing it's deemed permitted status,
requiring a certified waste management plan and certification farm for the facility to be submitted prior
to the December 31, 1997 deadline, and being required to obtain an individual non discharge permit for
the facility.
Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes to discharge wastewater to the
surface waters of the State without a permit. The Division of Environmental Management has the authority
to Ievy a civil penalty of not more than $10,000 per day per violation.

(Design Capacity)
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface 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. 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. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching
potentials, cation exchange capacities, anal available water holding capacities.. Normally
waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With
special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per
year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is
frozen. Either of these conditions may result in nmoffto surface waters which is not
allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to' -avoid drift
and downwind odor probl ms. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production
and to reduce the potenti4for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or
applied to bare -ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
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. Attached you will find information on
proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for
analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 1 SA
NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have

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,
jars, 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.

OPERATION & NIARqTENANCE 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 dunng 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 Iater 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 (sae 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 Ieave 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 condition of pipes

Lagoon surface --look for:
I. undesirable vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
Embankment —look for:
I. . 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 sidewall, 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 Igoon 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:
I. recycling pumps
2. irrigation pumps
Check for Ieaks, 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 notthe 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 cagy all surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets,
and parlang 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 Iagoon directly.
You should inspect your diversion system for the following:
1. adequate vegetation
2. diversion rapacity
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 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will
give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in
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:
I. 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.
3. 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 waxer 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 occourat least two weeks priorto the
addition of wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below
7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of I 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 S.Q.
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 betterthe
lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are
optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained
and recharged each day, also work well.

Practice water 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
AUuageme t:
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 darn 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 orvegetation,
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 2-
pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:

proper lagoon siring,
mechanical solids separadon 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 vour 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 far
ensuring stru=ure 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 pig any pipes is dams.)
Lagoon liquid levels ---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.

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 31, 1997. New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31, 1993 must
obtain signed certification before animals are stocked on the farm. Certification of an
approved animal waste management plan can be obtained after the Soil and Water
Conservation Commission adopts rules later this year.
We appreciate you providing us with this information. If you have any question about
the new nondischarge rule, please contact David Harding at [phone].
