Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for such request: Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below, as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Resources at the address listed below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered: (1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the violator; (2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation; (3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident; (4) whether the violator has been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or (5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remediai actions. Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Resources will review your evidence and inform you of their decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee).

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 and annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crops 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. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind 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 acre needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Actual acreage requirements may be more or less and should be lil Table 1: ACRES OWNED BY PRODUCER o m •f ff Real.

Failure to apply the correct rates or nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. If assistance is needed, call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to applying 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 395.2 pounds of PAN per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 1976 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to com at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 15.9 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and lan'd needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% or more depending on your sludge analysis, soil types, crops, realistic yields, and application methods. E RE9MIRED SPECIFICATI NS 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 by state law. Illegal discharges are subject to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day bylthe Division of Water Quality for each day the discharge continues. 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 that is within a reasonable proximity, allowing the producer 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 0 crop yields 'ibased on soil type, available moisture, historical date, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application ifor other nutrients. I 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 IFOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strip and Standard 390 - Riparian Forest Buffers.) These filter strips and forest buffers are in addition to "buffers" required by DWQ. I 5. Injecting the waste or disking after waste application can reduce odors. 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 manner which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor and insects and provide uniformity of application. i 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil surface is frozen. i 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. I 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high! potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and suitable winter cover crop planted to take upreleased nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following. • The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential 7 property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch orlcanal). • Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips.) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the producer. 14. Animal waste shad be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 1 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetland(s) jby a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided it has been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into watercourses. On other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at 'agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from truck or other washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall -be fenced as necessary, to protect 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. i 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 1.1 10/17/97 I WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEMENT I (We) understand and will follow and implement the specifications and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above. I (we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment'and storage system or construction of new facilities will require a new utilization plan and a new certification to be submitted to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) before the new animals are stocked. l (We) also understand that there must be no discharge of animal waste from this system to surface waters of the state from a storm event less severe than the 25 year - 24 hour storm. The approved plan will be filed on -site at the farm office and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District and will be available for review by DWQ upon request.

The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS670077 which expired on April 30, 2003. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Shenandoah #1 & 2, located in Onslow County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 5200 Wean to Feeder swine and the application to land as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 1, 2004. Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and -limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information mustbe established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals. If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed. The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property. f� �g RR Non -Discharge Permitting Unit 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Customer Service Center An Equal Opportunity Action Employer Internet http:/lh2o.enr.state.nc.Wndpu Telephone (919)733-5083 Fax (919)715-6048 Telephone 1-877-623-6748 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper ONSLO W SOIL & WATER CONSERVATION DISTRICT DONALD A.

Chin ua in NC 28521 910-298-3381 Wean to Feeder 5200 Existinci Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon Irrioation 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 and annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crops 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. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind 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 acre needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Actual acreage requirements may be more or less and should be OR "I.

If nutrients from other sources such as commercial fertilizer are applied, they must be accounted for. Total N must be based on the crop realistic yield expectation (RYE). NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. Beginning in 1996, the Coastal Zone Management Act will require farmers in some eastern counties of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This waste utilization pJan only addresseg (Nitrogen. Acres shown in the preceding table(s) 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. 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 PAN applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. The amounts shown in the table below are maximums if the soil is dry and conditions are at the optimum for soil intake. 4 It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader and/or irrigation equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the correct rates or nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. If assistance is needed, call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to applying 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 395.2 pounds of PAN per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 1976 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 15.9 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% or more depending on your sludge analysis, soil types, crops, realistic yields, and application methods. REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste, which reaches surface water, is prohibited by state law. Illegal discharges are subject to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Water Quality for each day the discharge continues. 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 that is within a reasonable proximity, allowing the producer 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 6 UY17M? crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical date, 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 and Standard 390 - Riparian Forest Buffers.) These filter strips and forest buffers are in addition to "buffers" required by DWQ. 5. Injecting the waste or disking after waste application can reduce odors. 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 manner which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor and insects and provide uniformity of application. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: • The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential 7 IGM7A7 property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal). • Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips.) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the producer. 14. Animal waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetland(s) by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided it has been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into watercourses. On other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from truck or other washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste 'management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced as necessary, to protect 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 E� WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEMENT I (We) understand and will follow and implement the specifications and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above.

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 and annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crops 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. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind 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 acre needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Actual acreage requirements may be more or less and should be a rtv 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. 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 21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting time N requirements. Beginning in 1996, the Coastal Zone Management Act will requires farmers in some eastern counties of North Carolina to haven nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. Dig _waste Liz ti n plan only addresses Nitrrlyen, Acres shown in the preceding table(s) 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. 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 PAN applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. The amounts shown in the table below are maximums if the soil is dry and conditions are at the optimum for soil intake. 4 A %._in 4 M dry-45 N It is the responsibility of the producer and the land application system designer to ensure that the application system is designed, installed, and operated properly to avoid any runoff of waste from the land applied to. Failure to observe the maximum recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste stored in your structure be within the 25-year - 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year - 24 hour storm. 5 ---�rs..��....1-.�_..�• �.

Failure to apply the correct rates or nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. If assistance is needed, call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to applying 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 prod uction.facility will produce approximately 3. 95.2 pounds of PAN per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately j-976 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 15.9 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% or more depending on your sludge analysis, soil types, crops, realistic yields, and application methods. REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste, which reaches surface water, is prohibited by state law. Illegal discharges are subject to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Water Quality for each day the discharge continues. 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, helshe shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner that is within a reasonable proximity, allowing the producer 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 n -.Q,;ceX IVI"/ crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical date, 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 and Standard 390 - Riparian Forest Buffers.) These filter strips and forest buffers are in addition to "buffers" required by ©WQ. 5. Injecting the waste or disking after waste application can reduce odors. 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 manner which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor and insects and provide uniformity of application. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shnil be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that woUId inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste.shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential 7 property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal). Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips.) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the producer. 14. Animal waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property.and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetland(s) by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided it has been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into watercourses. On other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from truck or other washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced as necessary, to protect 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, it animal waste is usea on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied preplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop growing season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Wasto shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when the metals approach excessive levels. Acidity levels (pH) shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Sail and waste analysis records sha€1 be kept for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23.

Mr. Brown would like the option to overseed on parts of his coastal fields. The above table reflects the overseeding by pull. This year, Mr. Brown has pulls l and 6 overseeded. Mr. Brown would also like the option to graze caws on his spray fields, therefore his nitrogen limits have been reduced by 25% on both the coastal and small grain overseed. 455-4573 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEMENT I (We) understand and will follow and implement the specifications and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above. I (we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and storage system or construction of new facilities will require a new utilization plan and a new certification to be submitted to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) before the new animals are stocked. I (We) also understand that there must be no discharge of animal waste from this system to surface waters of the state from a storm event less severe than the 25 year - 24 hour storm. The approved plan will be filed on -site at the farm office and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District and will be available for review by DWQ upon request. Failure to comply with the Waste Utilization Plan may require any cost share funds to be refunded to their source. Name of Facility Owner (please print): Signature: Date: Name of Manager (if different from owner): Signature: Date: Where owners of animal operations do not have adequate amounts of land to apply the waste, the producer must provide a written agreement whereby another landowner has agreed to land apply or allow land application on his or her land. The attached agreement may be used or some other documentation may be provided. ADJACENT LANDOWNER AGREEMENT understand that Mr./Mrs. does not have ample land to apply the animal waste produced from his/her animal operation. I agree and give permission for Mr./Mrs. to apply animal waste from his Waste System on acres of my land for the duration of time shown below. 1 further understand that this waste contains, nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, and other nutrient elements and when properly applied should not harm may land or crops.

'' This plan will be implemented in the event wastes from your operation are leaking, overflowing, or running off 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 this does not happen. This clan should be oosted in an accessible location for all employees at the #acility. The following are some action items you should take. I. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested responses to some possible situations are listed below. A. Lagoon overflow - actions include: 1. Add soil to berm the increase elevation of dam. 2. Pump waste to fields at an acceptable rate. 3. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately. 4. Call a pumping contractor. 5. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon. B. Runoff from waste application field - actions include: 1. Immediately stop waste application. 2. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste 3. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff. 4. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that caused the runoff. 5. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred. C. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers - actions include: 1. Stop recycle pump. 2, Stop irrigation pump. 3. Close valves to eliminate further discharge. 4. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps. D. Leakage from flush systems, houses, solid separators - actions include: 1. Stop recycle pump. 2. Stop irrigation plump. 3. Make sure no siphon occurs., 4. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid separators. 5. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps. Page 1 of 3 E. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this Is seepage as opposed to flowing leaks - actions Include: 1. Dig a small well or ditch to Catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back into lagoon. 2. If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals, fill holes and compact with a clay type soil. 3. Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and lagoon bottom. as soon as possible. It. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages..". . A. Did waste reach any surface waters?. . B. Approximately, how much was released and for what duration? C. Note any damage, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage? D. Did the spill leave the property? E. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters? F. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters? G. Are potable water wells in danger, (either on or off the property)? H. How much reached surface waters? III. Contact appropriate agencies. A. During normal business hours, call your DWQ (Division of Water Quality) regional office; phone 919-946-3481. After hours, emergency number: 919-733-3942.

OPERAT � __ AND MAINTENANCE PLAN SHEET 1 OF 2 ___________________ i This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and 180 days of temporary storage. The time required for the planned fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary due to site conditions, weather, fleshing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for: (1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also included is storage for the 25 year — 24 hour storm for the location. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available. A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from building(s). If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth. Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without runoff or leaching. Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out: 1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre — charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during start—up. Pre --charging reduces the concentration of the :initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odor's. Solids should be covered with effluent at all times. When precharying is complete, flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not be Used for flushing after initial filling. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment) before land application. 3. Begin temporary storage pump —out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches the elevation 104.5 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump — out when the fluid level reaches elevation 1.02.3 . This temporary storage, less 25 yr— 24 hr storm, contains 33806 cubic feet or 252872 gallons. % %.' 0 0 SHEET 2 OF 2 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 inch per hour. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details. 5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. 6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and establish in vegetation. 7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets. 8. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other, property and public right—of—ways. 9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ— mental. Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law. • SHEET 1 OF 2 SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS ----------------------------------------------------------- FOUNDATION PREPARATION: ----------------------- The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be cleared of trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush, boulders, sod and rubbish. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoil from the lagoon and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior to placing the first lift of fill material to get a good bond. EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT: The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines, grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen soil, stones over b inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent they are suitable, excavated materials can be used as fill. The fill shall be brought up in approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9 inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading equipment or standard tamping roller or other equivalent method. Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed to consolidate to -the point that settlement is not readily detectible. NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials from the required excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height and with an impoundment capacity of 10 acre—feet or more fall under the .jurisdiction of the NC Dam Safety Law. The height is defined as the difference in elevation from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike. Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.5 ft. NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERIAL. IS ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE SOILS REPORT. When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be over — excavated below finish grade to the specified depth as measured perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall be backfilled as specified to grade with a SCS approved material ( i e -- CL, SC, CH) . REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN THE PLANS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS. SHEET ` OF 2 Soil liner material shall come from an approved borrow area. The minimum water content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture content which relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneaded in the hand it will form a ball which does not readily separate. Water shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture content during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner material shall not be less than optimum water, content during placement. The maximum water content relates to the soil material being too wet for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Proper compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum ASTM D698 Dry Unit Weight of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous lift shall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement of the next lift. The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted perme— ability of a clay liner, other than the type of clay used for the liner, is the efficient construction processing of the compacted liner. The sequence of equipment use and the routing of equipment in an estab— lished pattern helps assure uniformity in the whole placement and compaction process. For most clay soils, a tamping or sheepsfoot roller is •the preferable type of compaction equipment. The soil liner shall be protected from the discharge of waste outlet pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator(rocks) or using flexible outlets on waste pipes. Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant. When these are specified, additional construction specifications are included with this Construction Specification. CUTOFF TRENCH: -------------- A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when shown on a typical cross section in the plans. The final depth of the cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation materials. VEGETATION: ------------ All exposed embankment and other, bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construc- tion according to the seeding specifications. Topsoil should be placed on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch shall be used if the recommended permanent vegetation is out of season dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should be established as soon as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates. REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS ------------------------------- When tile drains are encountered, the tile will be removed to a minimum of 1 Feet beyond the outside toe of slope of the dike. The tile trench shall be backfilled and compacted with good material such as SC, CL, or CH.

RICHLANDS NC 28574 Telephone: (910) 324-4811 Type Operation: New Wean to Feeder Swine Number of Animals: 5200.00 pigs (Design Capacity) STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon APPLICATION METHOD: Irrigation The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water.and/or . groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the -fields -where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown -and -the nutrient content -of the waste..- Do not '.apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding,capacit'ies. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may.be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but'less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4.. Do not apply waste on saturated'soils, when it 'is raining,., or when the surface is frozen: Either of these conditions may result in -runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. Page: 1 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking -will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow.addit-ional,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.) 5200 pigs x .40 tons waste/pigs/year W 2080 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 5200 pigs x .48 lbs PAN/pigs/year = 2496 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.

APPLIC METH N TIME END TOTAL10 Indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. interplanted) or winter annuals follow summer annuals. In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing, hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain to reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged t'o cut the small grain -earlier. You.. may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during- the season, depending on time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant -small grain, etc,,*is late' September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two inches before'drilling for best results.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the fields listed may,, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of'sludge at agronomic rates. 'The -sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 395.2 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 1976 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 6.58666666667 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 15.808 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25`s 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 I and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and Page: 6 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts. Tract I Field I Soil Type I Crop I 172' I 1 I AuB I BH 172 1 2 I AuB { I.

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 Page: 7 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION Page: 8 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic.crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip) 15. 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.appli.ed 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 pat urated.soils', during rainfall events,: or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered.with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal .waste should also be considered. Page: 9 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that dis.charges.directly into wate.r.courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic -and -industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to. protect the vegetation. Vegetation such.as trees., shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept.mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. Page: 10 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 18. if animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is.used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied prepl ant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations.of the.temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will .be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shal_l.be maintained for five (5) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Page: 15 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 Ieave 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 employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and breaks can happen at any time. 1) 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 © close valves to eliminate further discharge ® separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow • flush system, houses, solids separators: O+ stop recycle (flushing system) pump z0 stop irrigation pump OO make sure no siphon effect has been created (D 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 so it. 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 910 395-3900 after hours, emergency number: (919) 733-3942. 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: L9_l_0) 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: (910) 455-4472 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 Sheriffs 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 oil site damage. a.
