A WUP has been written for this adjacent plan, along with a land owner agreement attached. an to land apply hydraulic load: 1. Describe moisture conditions of fields? (e.g. Is there water standing in field; does irrigation equipment mar down in tiela; "tratticabiuty" across sons; will sous absorb application witnout runoff, etc.) Fields are saturated, however a contractor was able to aerate fields week before Christmas, and this has helped field conditions, with much better drainage of surface water, 2. Date and amount of last rainfall event? DATE: 1 01/18/15 AMOUNT: 0.5D inches Current owner (Greenwood Livestock, LLC) purchased this farm early December 2014, lagoon level wasn't where it should have been at the time of purchase, and from this point the current owner just can't seem to get a break from rainfall events occuring. Current owner has taken action and had fields aeriated, put a pump and haul plan in place (but must dry out everywhere first), and also has a plan in place for application of waste on an adjacent farm, with WUP already written. Current owner has also put a plan in place for a private contractor to come in and clean out all ditches bordering the farm, to allow for better drainage. 4. Given optimum soil and weather conditions, is irrigation equipment capable of applying the volume in line "n" at appropriate seasonal i.e. winter application rates within 5 days'? Soil conditions of fields will be monitored to ensure all equipment is capable of applying the volume at appropriate application rates. 5. Irrigation schedule for next 5 days - include daily schedule; proposed application rates and amounts per irrigation event; changes made in gun sizes, nozzles, "o" rings, operating time, travel speed, etc. to meet proposea cnanges in appncation rates ana amounts; ano any otner inrormation Tor consiaeration. Along with the above, the current owner also plans to install linear pivots on farm. Lee Brock Irrigation, Bailey, NC has already been contacted.

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 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 differenvinfiltration rates, leaching 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 nmoffto surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for 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 techniqu;,s, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis.

Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing bim/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. 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, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. AnimaI waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to 'Buffers" required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.] 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. 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" in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.) AT I3IL7Zt'IT F REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 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 conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application.. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. 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 on bare soil. 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to weIIs. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the Iandowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public rigbt-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 wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and only then at agronomic rates provided the application causes no runoff or drift from the site. REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. 18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and 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. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 19. 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. 20. 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. f ,U'II7.'QT PIA �..�..�..r� �wNk .......,._,.v,_:..

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 utilization plan, if carded out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

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 irrigation may uptake and utilize in the normal growing season. Total Irrigated Acreage: 24.06 Total N Required 1st Year: 8500.1 Total N Required 2nd Year: 0 Average Annual Nitrogen Requirement of Crops: 8,500.10 Total Nitrogen Produced by Farm: 8,445.60 Nitrogen Balance for Crops: (54.50) The following table describes the specifications of the hydrants and fields that contain the crops designated for utilization of the nitrogen produced on this.facility. This chart describes the size, soil characteristics, and uptake rate for each crop in the specified crop rotation schedule for this facility. 2 of 8 Reception Area Specifications ■ems �� �r �� �■■ �� � �■� ■�� �� ■�■� �� ■�� ��■■� � �� �� � �� �� �������������■���r��■����■� ter■ 3(a) of 8 Reception Area Specifications Tract Field Irrigated Sail 1 st Crop Time to IstCrop 1stCrop LbsN/Ac Lbs N Total - Lbs N FRnIIIIIIII q Acreage Typo Code Apply_ Yield lbs NfUnit Residual IAC Utill -iRrF - - Wo 3(b) of 8 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 let 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 of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized, Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the 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 cut to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

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. 4 of 8 SLUDGE APPLICATION: The following table describes the annual nitrogen accumulation rate per animal in the lagoon sludge Farm Specifications PAN! rlanimal Farm Totail r Farrow to Wean 0.84 Farrow to Feeder 1 Farrow to Finish 4.1 Wean to Feeder 0.072 3672 Feeder to Finish 0.36 1321,92 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 1321.92 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 6609.6 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 per acre, you will need 22 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 52,8768 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 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 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 becauso of the nitrogen limitation. 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 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. 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 assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste. 5of8 Application Rate Guide The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

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 the waste, he/she shall provide evidence 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 waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, recieving crop type, or available land. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications 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 eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (See USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 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 land application field. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is 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). 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 and flies. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 1 of 3 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 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 Nutrients from waste 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 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. 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 eight -of -ways. 15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16 Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 2of3 k _V 40 i It 1 f ' 'PIE t4 I ' `I +, 1-?

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 materiel to get a good bond. EXCAVATION AND EARTH FILL PLACEMENT: The completed excavation and earthfill shall, conform to the Lines, grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen soil, stones over• 6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent they are suitable, excavated materials can be used as fill. The fill shall be brought up in approximately horizontal layer's 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 TiPIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment, of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials from the required excavations. Construction of fill height's 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 Lire dike. Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS S"ALL RE 2.0 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 TIME 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 3CS approved material tie — CL,SC,CH). REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN THE PLANS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS. SHEET 2 OF 2 Soil liner material shall come from an approved borrow area. The minimum water content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture content which relates to that moisture content when the soil, ,is kneaded in the hand it will form a ball which does not: readily separate. Wager 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. Propel' compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum ASTM 0698 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 shreepsfoou 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 come 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 10 feet beyond the outside toe of slope of the dike. The tile trench shall be backfilled and compacted with good material such as SC, CL, or CH. SEEDING SPECIFICATION AREA TO BE SEEDED: 4.0 ACRES USE THE SEED MIXTURE INDICATED AS FOLLOWS: 0.0 LBS.

SHEET 1 OF 2 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and 1BO days of temporary storage. The time required for the planned fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for: (1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also included is storage for the 25 year -- 24 hour storm for the location. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available. A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from building(s). if the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth. Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without runoff or leaching. Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out: 1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre — charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during start—up. Pre —charging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete, flush buildings with recycled lagoon .liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after- initial filling. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment) before land application. 3. Begin temporary storage pump —out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches the elevation 50.8 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump -- out when the fluid level reaches elevation 48.5 . This temporary storage, less 25 yr— 24 hr storm, contains 170117 cubic feet or 1272472 gallons. SHEET 2 OF 2 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 inch per hour. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details. 5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. 6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and establish in vegetation. 7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets. 8. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200'feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right —of --ways. 9. The Clean Water- Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the united States. The Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ- mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this .law. � :lea r �:.+. ..� .. .. _ .. . .. . .... .... . . ... � � -- � � - - c '_.r may.' � M� � � .. , ...1'..%Wti` :,',•�- , a Imp ' � . -'-�-- \y'a `'y i c �_ �� '' • sae$ T � ' 3� � sue?_._' ` � - . - _ i I A � I ' a —_ ' .�'! ` :., _ r • : fir- � ' �� � �,, !!! • +-�"---ate f. -- •.. .. .... ....:. � � J �- } S'r�' �a. .'•' 1 +'• � ''may, �' .. ^_'_ r•� '$'ate. / ' ,.ti '?:\� __`+ �' i+ a n _ `? tj fit ir 7--i-.�.,._ �,._ •-- --__tom.- �, � -'-�r+ � � -- -' -- -. ----1 ... .-._`_' -_�— '�'- -- '•° ' 0.� - : I � ° _b •f 4y� r� � 9 4k ;� -1n Asa. i fl 99096oz0zoow • ...1 .-. .rti _^'.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. 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. 1 of 8 r 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 utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2N .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

This chart describes the size, soil characteristics, and uptake rate for each crop in the specified crop rotation schedule for this facility. 2 of 8 Reception Area Specifications Tract Field Irrigaed il IstCrop Time to IstGrop istCrop LbaNIAc Lbs N Total lbsW-2ndcrop fimeto 2nddrop-2nddrop LbsWAc Lbs N Total AcraaqG i-Residual/Ac_ /Ac_ Uffilzed MCI 3(b) of 8 . r1' 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 let 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 of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the 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 cut to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. 4of8 SLUDGE APPLICATION: The following table describes the annual nitrogen accumulation rate per animal in the lagoon sludge Farm Specifications PAN/ r/animal Farm Total/ r Farrow to Wean 0.84 Farrow to Feeder 1 Farrow to Finish 4.1 Wean to Feeder 0.072 3672 Feeder to Finish 0.36 1321.92 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 1321.92 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 6609.6 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 per acre, you will need 22 acreas of land. if you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 52.8768 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 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 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 limitation. 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 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. 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 assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste. 5 of 8 Application Rate Guide The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

Our purpose was to discuss the EQIP contracts and Waste Utilization Plan requirements in order to complete the improvements to your waste management system. It is a requirement of receiving -cost share assistance that the WUP be brought up to current standards and specifications. Those in attendance other than me were Jason Turner, Pender SWCD; Chris Smith, MRCS, Kraig Westerbeak, Murphy -Brown; Chester Cobb, DWQ; John Farrell, DWQ. On Farm #4, you would like to maintain cattle in your operation. In order to do this you will need to make some modifications to your current system. This farm pertains to EQIP contract #7445325D179. Options to move forward with an approved WUP are as follows: 1) Find additional land and revise the WUP. You indicated that you would speak to your neighbor as this would be a preferred option. 2) If no additional land is available, eliminating cattle from this farm would be adequate to meet nutrient management requirements of the WUP. 3) Using on farm PAN records (versus using standard book values) to reduce the amount of nitrogen to be utilized in the WUP is not entirely clear at this time. Further discussion would need to tape place if this option is pursued. 4) As a last resort, if the current EQIP contract is forfeited, a 20% cost recovery fee is applicable to all EQIP contracts. The value of the contract is $2,250 and therefore a $450 fee could be assessed. Of course, this office would like to work with you to make the improvements needed to this operation with financial assistance under the EQIP program. On Farm #2, you have no cattle in this waste management system but the problem is that the nitrogen utilization rate for millet that is used in your current WUP is too high. Land available to utilize waste nutrients is extremely critical on this farm. Without some significant changes, the current WUP will not allow us to move forward with the EQIP contract. Our options on this farm are as follows: 1) Secure additional land to be used to utilize waste nutrients. Under this option (and #1 above) a 10 year lease arrangement with notary will be required. You indicated that you would pursue this immediately. The WUP could then be revised to reflect this land addition. In addition, Mr. Westerbeak indicated that a much more cost effective system could be installed if additional land could be secured. The Natural Resources Conservation Servke provides leadership in a partnership effort to help people conserve, maintaln, and improve our natural resources and environment. An Equal Opportunity Provider and Employer 2) As stated in ##3 above, using on farm PAN records in order to reduce nitrogen amounts to be utilized by your WUP. Again, this option is not a clear solution at this time as it would require additional approvals. 3) Reduce animal numbers in order to reduce the amount of nitrogen produced. 4) Cancel the EQIP contract which is valued at $15,000 on this farm, The cost recovery penalty of 20% could still apply at a value of $3000. This is not a scenario that anybody wants to see. Therefore, we will do our best to assist you in working out other options in order to complete this waste management improvement project under EQIP and NCACSP financial assistance. Please keep in contact with this office and advise us of your progress in securing additional land on both farms. Thank you for meeting with us and for your immediate attention to this matter.

On November 2, 2004, Mr. Chester Cobb from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality performed a compliance inspection of the Pridgen Farm #4. During the inspection, Mr. Cobb noted the following violation: 1. Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) needs to be revised From the inspection on November 2, 2004, it was noted that some of the Bermuda field was being grazed. The CAWMP listed all the Bermuda as being hayed. Also, Mr. Pridgen stated that his irrigation equipment does not cover the fields as shown by the wettable acres determination done for the previous owner. These issues were also documented on a December 2, 2003 compliance inspection. This is in violation of Condition No. I. 3. that states in part "The Permittee must amend the CAWMP in order to address any changes needed to maintain compliance with the facility's COC and this permit." Also, Condition No. 1. 3. states, "Any violation of the COC or the CAWMP shall be considered a violation of this permit and subject to enforcement actions."

The Division of Water Quality appreciates the fact that you reported the problem with high freeboard levels 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 16, 2003. The Wilmington Regional Office never received the requested information. Thus, Mr. Chester Cobb from the Wilmington Regional Office performed an inspection on December 2, 2003 to review the requested farm records. Upon his review of the farm records, the Wilmington Regional Office has determined that the Notice of Violation is appropriate due to unsatisfactory operation and maintenance of the waste treatment system. Therefore, the Notice of Violation issued on April 15, 2003 for the noncompliant freeboard level remains. Also when Mr. Cobb reviewed the records, it was noticed that you were grazing the Bermuda fields. Your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) lists the Bermuda fields to be managed for hay production. Also, areas not listed in CAWMP had been pumped. These are is in violation of Condition II. 2. of Swine Waste Management System General NPDES. Permit NCA200000 which requires the vegetative cover to be maintained as specified in the facility's CAWMP and that no waste shall be applied upon areas not included in the CAWMP.

Peterson Swine Farm No. 71-17, that you are in violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1(a)(1) and Condition 1.1 of General Permit AWG100000 for making an outlet to waters of the State. In addition, you are in violation of Condition M.5 of General, Permit AWG100000 for failure to provide spray irrigation records during the investigation. A site inspection was performed on January 8, 2001 by staff of the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality, The inspection revealed that spray irrigation activities, performed on January 7, 2001, had resulted in the discharge of swine waste into an unnamed tributary of Cypress Creek in the Cape Fear River Basin. The unnamed tributary is classified as C-Swamp waters of the State. Upstream and downstream samples were taken in accordance with standard sampling protocol and analyzed by a certified laboratory for fecal coliform bacteria concentrations. A visual aid is enclosed which depicts the monitoring locations and the flow path to Cypress Creek. The sampling indicated that upstream sample locations 'U1 and U2 resulted in fecal coliform bacteria concentrations of 19 colonies/100ml and downstream sample location D1 resulted in a fecal coliform bacteria result of 54,000 colonies/100ml. These results are enclosed. Regional Office staff followed the unnamed tributary from the discharge point to the Cypress Creak Swamp. Swine waste was visually observed flowing approximately 1200 feet from the spray field. The Division's Regional Office staff estimated that greater than 15,000 gallons was discharged due to hydraulically overloading the spray field. Ir cG M ccr, r 77 E!

This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of upland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient :quirements, and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake. his table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure • other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each Ad in order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the anure generatedby the operation. Animal operations that generate liquid waste and utilize waste storage facilities (lagoons or holding ponds) may apply .ore or less waste in any given year than is annually generated by the facility. In order to determine whether the plan adequately utilizes the waste produced , the facility, the storage capacity table included in this plan should be reviewed to ensure that the design capacity of the storage facility is not exceeded during .e planning period. epending on the requirements of the crop and the nutrient content of the waste, some nutrients will likely be over or under applied if animal waste is being ilized. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are required if animal waste is being applied. Soil tests should be used balance the nutrient application amounts with the realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Nutrient management plans may require that the application of lima] waste be limited so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field.

These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for each source, the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates shown in the second column. Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent., At clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied. Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

Date Printed: 07-12-2001 Sludge Page 1 The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage capacity available at the end of each month of the plan. Available storage capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume. accumulated. The start date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero. Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design storage capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated. If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

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 that 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 the waste, helshe shall provide evidence 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 waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications 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 eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 14 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is 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). 3 ................... .......................................................... ............................. - .......... _.................... ......... ...................................... ..-....__..........._.._.._.............._.. 896217 Database Version 1.06 Date Printed: 07-12-2001 Specification Page 1 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 and flies. 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. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Wastelnutrient 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 shun'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 canaL Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters. 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. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................... ...... 896217 Database Version 1.06 Date Printed: 07-12-2001 Specification Page 2 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 the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, 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 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 volumelor waste storage ponds. 8' 6217 Database Version 1.06 Date Printed: 07-12-2001 Specification Page 3 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 soils 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. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. `' 896217 Database Version 1.06 Date Printed: 07-12-2001 Specification Page 4 Crop Notes The following crop note applies to field(s): 1, 2, 3 Bermudagrass Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Poorly Drained to Somewhat Poorly Drained.

In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. 1 to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs l"to 3" deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced V to 1.5' in row. For broadcast/disked-in.sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus, potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 lb/ac N in the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 2401b/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts. Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing.

PETERSON FOR MAKING AN OUTLET TO THE WATERS OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA WITHOUT A PERMIT AND VIOLATION OF GENERAL PERMIT AWG 100000 NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES File No. DV 01-003 FINDINGS AND DECISION AND ASSESSMENT OF CIVIL PENALTIES Acting pursuant to delegation provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, Jeffrey O. Poupart, Supervisor of the Non -Discharge Compliance and Enforcement Unit of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ), make the following: I. FINDINGS OF FACT: A. James B. Peterson owns and operates the James B. Peterson Swine Farm, a swine operation located along SR 1216 in Pender County. B. James B. Peterson was issued Certificate of Coverage AWS710017 under General Permit AWG100000 for the James B. Peterson Swine Farm on January 24, 2000, effective January 24, 2000, with an expiration date of April 30, 2003. This permit does not allow the discharge of waste to waters of the State. C. On January 8, 2001, DWQ staff conducted an inspection of the James B. Peterson Swine Farm in response to a complaint. Staff observed a discharge of wastewater by the facility from a spray field to an unnamed tributary to Cypress Creek, which are Class C Sw waters of the State within the Cape Fear River Basin. D. James B. Peterson had no valid permit for the above -described activity. E. Condition No. III. 5. of the General Permit states that "Records, including land application event(s) and removal of solids to an off -site location(s) records, shall be maintained by the Permittee in chronological and legible form for a minimum of three years. These records shall be maintained on forms provided or approved by the DWQ and shall be readily available for inspection." F. On January 9, 2001, staff conducted a review of the land application records for the facility. During the inspection on January 80, a farm representative stated to staff that waste had been applied to the spray field on January 7, 2001. The records did not show a land application event on January 7, 2001. G. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $772.38. Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following: H. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: A. James B. Peterson is_a "person" within the meaning of G.S. 143-215.6A pursuant to G.S. 143-212(4). B. An unnamed tributary to Cypress Creek constitutes waters of the State within the meaning of G.S. 143-215.1 pursuant to G.S. 143-212(6). C. The above -cited discharge constituted making an outlet to waters of the State for purposes of G.S. 143-215.1(a)(1), for which a permit is required by G.S. 143- 215.1. D. The above -cited failure to record the land application event of January 7, 2000 violated Condition No. III. 5. of the General Permit. E. James B. Peterson may be assessed civil penalties in this matter pursuant to G.S. I43-215.6A(a)(2), which provides that a civil penalty of not more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) per violation may be assessed against a person who is required but fails to apply for or to secure a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1. F. James B. Peterson may be assessed civil penalties in this matter pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2), which provides that a civil penalty of not more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00) per violation may be assessed against a person who fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1. G. The State's enforcement costs in this matter may be assessed against James B. Peterson pursuant to G.S. 143-215.3(a)(9) and G.S. 143B-282. I (b)(8). H. The Supervisor of the Non -Discharge Compliance and Enforcement Unit, Division of Water Quality, pursuant to delegation provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Director of the Division of Water Quality, has the authority to assess civil penalties in this matter. Based upon the above Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, I make the following: DECISION: Accordingly, James B. Peterson is hereby assessed a civil penalty of: $ .S 0 o, r $ 772.38 $ s272-A for making an outlet to the waters of the State without a permit as required by G.S. 143-215.1. for violation of Condition No. III. 5. of the General Permit for failing to record the land application event of January 7, 2000 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY, which -is percent of the maximum penalty authorized by G.S. 143-215.6A. Enforcement costs TOTAL AMOUNT DUE As required by G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have considered the factors listed in G.S.143B-282.1(b), which are: (1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property resulting from the violation; (2) The duration and gravity of the violation; (3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality; (4) The cost of rectifying the damage; (5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance; (6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally; (7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with. programs over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; (8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures. .31 01-7- of (Date) ey O.

In order to determine whether the plan adequately utilizes the waste produced r the facility, the storage capacity table included in this plan should be reviewed to ensure that the design capacity of the storage facility is not exceeded during .e planning period. epending on the requirements of the crop and the nutrient content of the waste, some nutrients will likely be over or under applied if animal waste is being ilized. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are required if animal waste is being applied. Soil tests should be used balance the nutrient application amounts with the realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Nutrient management plans may require that the application of nimal waste be limited so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field.

These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for each source, the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates shown in the second column. Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied. Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

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

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 that 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 the waste, helshe shall provide evidence 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 waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications 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 eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per -year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is 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). ----------------------- ................. - -------- ---------- ------ -------------------------------------------------- -............... .................. .............................. 896217 Database Version 1.06 Date Printed- 07-12-2001 Specification Page 1 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 and flies. 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. Nutrients from waste 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 canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters. 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. - ....... .... ......... ..... ..._..-...- ........ .......... -.... ................... 64 ii7 Database Version 1.06 Date Printed: 07-12-2001 Specification Page 2 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 the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, 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 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. ... .... ......... ...... _._............ . 895217 Database Version iA Date Panted: 07-12-2001 Specification Page 3 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 soils 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. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. 896217 Database Version 1.06 Date Printed: 07-12-2001 Specification Page 4 Crop Notes The following crop note applies to field(s): 1, 2, 3 Bermudagrass Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Poorly Drained to Somewhat Poorly Drained. Adaptation: Effective artificial drainage MUST be in place to achieve Realistic Yield Expectations provided for these soils. In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. 1 to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs 1" to 3" deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bulac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced V to 1.5' in row. For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus, potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 lb/ac N in the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 190 to 240 lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts. Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or extension agent for assistance. The following crop note applies to field(s): 1, 2, 3 Small Grain: CP, Mineral Soil, low -leachable In the Coastal Plain, oats and barley should be planted from October 15-October 30; and rye from October " 1 S November 20. For barley, plant 22 seed/drdl row foot and increase the seeding rate by 5% for each week seeding is delayed beyond the optimum time. See the seeding rates table for applicable seeding rate modifications in the current NCSU "Small Grain Production Guide". Also, increase the initial seeding rate by at least 10% when planting no -till. Oats should be planted at 2 bushels/acre and rye at 1-1 112 bushels/acre. Plant all these small grains at 1-1 1/2" deep. Adequate depth control is essential. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select'a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Apply no more than 30 lbs/acre N at planting. Phosphorus and potash recommended by a soil test can also be applied at this time. The remaining N should be applied during the months of February -March.

Peterson Enforcement Case (dated 1-31-01) Certificate of Coverage AWS710017, General Permit AWGi00000 Pender County The subject enforcement report was sent to your attention which contains an error. The cover memo indicated that an NOV reply had not been received. However, Mr. Peterson's reply has been received at the Wilmington Office and is being transmitted as an addendum along with the Region's specific continents concerning the reply. Please attach this memo and reply letter to the enforcement case file documents. 1) Standard waste utilization plan language disallows irrigation on frozen soil. It is the operator's responsibility to perform sufficient investigative actions to verify the soil condition prior to irrigation. 2) Mr. Willis Peterson indicated during the January 8, 2001 inspection (at approximately 16:00 hrs) that the irrigation event occurred on January 7, 2001. When asked to produce the irrigation records, he indicated that he did not have the key to enter the on -site office area where the records were stored. Regional Office staff offered to meet with him at his house on January 9, 2001 to obtain the spray irrigation records. These records did not include the January 7, 2001 spray event. There has been no submittal of records to the Division showing the January 8, 2001 irrigation event. . 5 3) The writer deemed that reasonable mitigative actions were not possible and dismissed the need for such actions during the site visit with Mr. Willis Peterson. The inspection report indicates this point. The reply letter did not specify how mitigative actions were performed and Division staff were not notified to allow the review of such actions to determine effectiveness. 4) The slope of the spray field at the "back ten percent" is flatter than the other areas of the field. 5) Mr. Willis Peterson indicated during the January 8, 2001 inspection that they had irrigated so they could move the reels to another farm. He did not mention that frost protection was the cause of the irrigation activity. cc: Greer Moore, Pat Durrett, Wilmington ENF Files, Central Files RICHARD L. BURROWS FREDRIC C.

Of Environment & Natural Resources 127 N. Cardinal Drive Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 Re: James B. Peterson Farm Facility # 71-17 Dear Mr. Shiver: JAN 19 2001 BY: TELEPHONE (910) 285-3600 FACSIMILE (910) 285-7766 Please treat this as the requested response to your letter of January 11, 2001, which was received on January 16, 2001. A Notice has been published in the Pender newspaper concerning the runoff. Mr, Peterson concurs with your observation that no water quality degradation occurred in New Hanover County, since the runoff was not of sufficient quantity and occurred at a location some distance from any stream or waters of the state. Mr. Peterson is still assessing why the runoff occurred. He has sprayed on this portion of his pastures in excess of a year, and has never had any runoff before. At this time he is investigating to determine whether or not the runoff occurred as the result of frozen ground. At the time he started the irrigation, the surface of the ground was not frozen, but it is possible that the subsurface dirt may have still been frozen thereby preventing the absorption that normally occurred. With regard to your assertion that records of the spray event were not available to the DWQ staff, the explanation is very simple. Mr. Peterson first became aware of the event upon being notified by DWQ of their investigation, which occurred during the irrigation in question. It is not Mr. Peterson's practice to make entries in his irrigation records prior to the completion of the irrigation activities then being conducted. After completion, the duration, gallonage and PAN application is then reflected in the records. It is my understanding that your department requires accurate records, and this was done in a manner to provide that accuracy. Upon discovery/notification of the runoff, Mr. Peterson began implementing measures to prevent further runoff, and capture the wastewater that had not then run off. He has since Mr. Rick Shiver Page Two January 18, 2001 implemented measures to prevent any further occurrence, such as more frequent monitoring during irrigation, and particularly in that area of the spray field. The back ten percent of the field has substantially more fall than the remainder of the field. He plans to keep the edges of the field disked, sub -soil the field more often, and cause the irrigation traveller to be speeded up when spraying on that section of the field. As a matter of information, and as should be reflected in the report of this incident, the lagoon being pumped out of had at least forty inches of freeboard, but because of the excessively low temperatures, Mr. Peterson was attempting to get the traveller portion of the reel in to move it to a protected area. If you have any questions, please let me know. Very t urs, Rich d L. Burrows RLB : raj cc: James B. Peterson pLn IW n DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY Water Quality Section January 31, 2001 memorandum TO: Dennis Ramsey FROM: Jim Bushardt THROUGH: Rick Shiver SUBJECT: Enforcement Report - James B. Peterson Swine Farm No. 71-17 Certificate of Coverage AWS710017 General Permit AWG100000 Pender County You will find a draft enforcement report, NOV, compliance inspection report, laboratory results with chain of custody form, and site map (USGS QUAD-Costin, NC) which indicates spray field Iocation relative to monitoring points and flow path to Cypress Creek). An NOV reply was not received.This case involves two separate violations, hydraulically over -loading a spay field causing a discharge estimated to exceed 15,000 gallons to an unnamed tributary of Cypress Creek, and failure to provide records concerning the over -application event. Please advise the Region if document changes are performed. The writer feels that the discharge was avoidable. Approximately 24 hours after the irrigation event, runoff was observed. The lagoon had 42 inches of freeboard after irrigation. Lagoon freeboard is assumed to have been adequate prior to the irrigation event. The field has some slope and the normally well drained soil type appeared compacted by cattle and displayed a sparse coverage of winter rye. It was reported that two spray guns were used simultaneously. It is likely that irrigation (concerning lagoon freeboard) was not necessary for January or February. Careful selection of nozzle ring size and reel pull speed combined with routine inspection during the irrigation event could have abated the discharge, in the writer's opinion. In addition, the farmer could have made the field "more manageable by ripping the soil to break up the restrictive horizon. The writer also feels that the poor records keeping activity and the discharge may lead to the fact that Mr. Peterson may not be providing proper operator support for the facility. It is suggested that a standard civil penalty assessment be issued to the James B. Peterson Farm No, 71-17 for performing the discharge. It is also suggested that Mr. Peterson be required to present facts concerning the discharge event and the records keeping anomaly via Show -Cause Hearing. .

Stevens, Director of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ), make the following: A. Mr. James B. Peterson was issued Certificate of Coverage No. AWS710017 on January 249 2000 for the operation of the James B. Peterson Farm No. 71-17 in Pender County, North Carolina per the requirements of General Permit No. AWG100000. B. On January 8, 2001 DWQ staff observed a discharge of wastewater by the James B. Peterson Swine Farm No. 71-17 to an unnamed tributary of Cypress Creek in the Cape Fear River Basin. The unnamed tributary is classified "C.swamp" waters of the State. C. On January 8, 2001 DWQ staff requested that spray irrigation records be made available for investigative purposes. The James B. Peterson Swine Farm No. 71-17 provided spray irrigation records on January 9, 2001 which did not include the January 7, 2001 irrigation event which caused the field irrigation runoff . D. Said permit contains the following conditions: Condition I.1 - "The animal waste collection, treatment, storage, and transmission system permitted under this permit shall be effectively maintained and operated as a nondischarge system to prevent the discharge of pollutants to surface waters, wetlands, or ditches. Facilities which are in compliance with their certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) and this permit, which unintentionally discharge as a result of a storm event greater than the 25,year, 24 hour storm, will not be considered to be in violation of this permit". Condition III.5 - " Proper records, including maintenance, 'repair, and irrigation records, shall be maintained on the site and in chronological and legible form for a minimum of three years by the Permittee. These records shall be maintained on forms provided by the DWQ and shall be readily available for inspection". E., The discharge of swine waste was not a result of vandalism, a power failure, or a storm event greater than a 25 year, 24 hour storm. F. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures iri this matter totaled $ 772.38. Based upon the above Findings of Fact, I make the following: A. The James B. Peterson Swine Farm No. 71-17 is a "person" within the meaning of G.S. 143-215.6A pursuant to G.S. 143-212(4). B. The unnamed tributary of Cypress Creek constitutes waters of the State within the meaning of G.S. 143-215.1(a)(1) pursuant to G.S. 143-212(6). C. The James B. Peterson Swine Farm No. 71-17 violated General Permit No. AWG10p000, Condition No. I.1 and G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2) by discharging swine waste to waters of the State, and violated General Permit No. AWG100000, Condition III.5 and G.S. 143- 215.6A(a)(2) by failing to produce spray irrigation records concerning the over -application of swine waste. D. The James B. Peterson Swine Farm No 71-17 may be assessed civil penalties in this matter pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2), which provides that a civil penalty of not more than twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000) per violation may be assessed against a person who fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1. E. The State's enforcement costs in this matter may be assessed against the pursuant to G.S. 143-215.3(a)(9) and G.S. 143B-2 82. 1 (b) (8). F. The Director, Division of Water Quality, pursuant to delegation provided for by G.S. 143- 215.6A(h), has the authority to assess civil penalties in this matter. Based upon the above Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, .1 make the following: Accordingly, the James B. Peterson Swine Farm No. 7147 is hereby assessed a civil penalty of: H S For of violation -of G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2) and General Permit No. AWG100000, by discharging swine waste to water of the State.

ENVIRONMENT ANO NAMRAL RESOURCES Subject: Notice of Violation & Recommendation for Enforcement James B. Peterson Farm No.' 71-17 Certificate of Coverage No. AWS710017 General Permit No. AWG100000 Pender County Dear Mr. Peterson: This letter is to advise you, as owner and operator of the James B. Peterson Swine Farm No. 71-17, that you are in violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1(a)(1) and Condition I.1 of General Permit AWG100000 for making an outlet to waters of the State. In. addition, you are in violation of Condition M.5 of General Permit AWG100000 for failure to provide spray irrigation records during the investigation. A site inspection was performed on January 8, 2001 by staff of the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality. The inspection revealed that spray irrigation activities, performed on January 7, 2001, had resulted in the discharge of swine waste into an unnamed tributary of Cypress Creek in the Cape Fear River Basin. The unnamed tributary is classified as C-Swamp waters of the State. Upstream and downstream samples were taken in accordance with standard sampling protocol and analyzed by a certified laboratory for fecal coliform bacteria concentrations. A visual aid is enclosed which depicts the monitoring locations and the flow path to Cypress Creek. The sampling indicated that upstream sample locations -Ul and U2 resulted in fecal coliform bacteria concentrations. of 19 colonies1100ml and downstream sample location D1 resulted in a fecal coliform bacteria result of 54,000 colonies1100ml. These results are enclosed. Regional Office staff followed the unnamed tributary from the discharge point to the Cypress Creek Swamp. Swine waste was visually observed flowing approximately 1200 feet from the spray field. The Division's Regional Office staff estimated that greater than 15,000 gallons was discharged due to hydraulically overloading the spray field. Tames B. Peterson January 11, 2001 Page Two Please be advised that civil penalties up to $25,000 per violation may be assessed in accordance with NCGS 143-215.6A(a)(2). In accordance with NCGS 143-215.10C(h)(1), you are required to issue a press release within 48 hours of knowledge of the discharge to all print and electronic news media that provide coverage in the county where the discharge occurred. The owner or operator shall retain a copy of the press release and a list of news media to which it was distributed for at least one year after the discharge` and shall provide a copy of the press release and list of news media to which it was distributed to any person upon request. In addition, NCGS 143-215.10C(h)(2) requires the owner or operator to publish a notice of the discharge in a newspaper having general circulation in the county iri which the discharge occurred and possibly adjacent downstream counties which receive adverse water quality effects caused by the discharge. The notice shall be captioned "Notice of Discharge of Animal Waste". Downstream water quality is not anticipated to be effected within New Hanover County. Therefore, you should advertise within the Pender County area. The owner or operator shall file a copy of the notice and proof of publication with the Department (Mr. Rick Shiver, Division of Water Quality, 127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, NC, 28405) within thirty (30) days after the notice is published. It is requested that you respond in writing to this Office within ten (10) days following the receipt of this letter and provide details concerning the cause of discharge, the reason why records of the spray event were not available to DWQ staff, and corrective actions to be implemented to prevent future occurrences.

Stevens, Director NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES November 6, 2000 CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED James Bryan Peterson James B. Peterson Farm 7950 NC Highway I 1 Willard NC 28478 Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination Animal Waste Management System James B. Peterson Farm Facility Number 71-17 Pender County Dear James Bryan Peterson: 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 3/17/99 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 (91 0) 395-3900. 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. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone 919-733-5083 Fax 919-715-6048 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Notification for Wettable Acre Determination Animal Waste Management System Page 2 Category 2: Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this designation, or a Professional Engineer. All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWO within the next 180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation, and/or injunctive relief. Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting requirement. If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Sonya Avant of our Central Office staff at (919) 733-5083 ext. 571. r Sincerel Kerr T.

Factors included are: 1: Always apply wastes based on crop needs and the nutrient content of the waste. 2: Do not over apply nitrogen. 3: Do not apply wastes on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the ground is frozen, either could cause surface runoff. 4: Consider wind conditions to avoid drift and down wind odor problems. 5: Wastes can only be applied to actively growing crops or not more than 30 days prior to planting or to forages breaking dormancy. 6: This plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. 7: This plan is based on wastes being applied using irrigation. If the application method is changed, this plan will need to be revised because the nutrient content varies depending upon the application method. 8: Waste samples are required to be taken and analyzed at least 60 days within the application date. 9: Soil samples are required to be taken and analyzed annually. These analyses are used to balance all nutrients for optimum growth and to monitor metal levels in the soil, especially copper and zinc.

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. Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 8 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be higher than the upper pumping marker except in the event of a 25 year, 24 hour storm. 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 Table 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables make this plan invalid. Narrative of Operation: Fields 1 and 3 are -planted in bermuda and grazed. These fields are overseeded with small grain in the Fall and are grazed also. Field 2 is planted with Tall fescue and is grazed. The fields in the plan are marked with yellow and the ditches with 25` buffers are marked with green on the map. The overseeded small grain has an N rate of 100 Ibslacre instead of 50 Ibslacre to reflect the rate from previous plans. Page 3 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEMENT Name of Farm: Ivey Pridgen Farm I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specifications, operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above. I (we) know any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and storage system or construction of new facilities will require a new certification to be submitted to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality before the new animals are stocked. I (we) also understand 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 time required for the planned fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for: (1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also included is storage for the 25 year - 24 hour storm for the location. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to year•. The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available. A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from building(s). If the outlet pipe is not ,installed at the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth. Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without runoff or leaching. Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out: 1. It is -strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre - charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete, flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after initial filling. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment) before land application. 3. Begin temporary storage pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches the elevation 50.8 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump - out when the fluid level reaches elevation 48.5 . This temporary storage, less 25 yr- 24 hr storm, contains 170117 cubic feet or 1272472 gallons. SWEET 2 OF z 4. The reconxnended 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. 5. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and establish in vegetation. 7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets. B. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well. 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, Wealth, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ- mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this .law. �11 1 fi i. 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 F'OTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip) 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of ,drift from the irrigation field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding.- (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina,, for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in'a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. Page: 8 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of .a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any.residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharges directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should•be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. Page: 9 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED_ SPECIFICATIONS 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should.be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied preplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will 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 shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

You should NOT wait until wastes reach surface ' wafers or leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be available to all employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and breaks could happen at any time. Your Emergency Action- Plan is as follows: 1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may not be possible. Suggested responses to problems are listed below: a. Lagoon overflow - possible solutions are: > Add sail to berm to increase elevation of 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 - actions include: > Immediately stop waste application > Create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field > incorporate waste to reduce further runoff Emergency Action Plan Page -2- d. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often these are seepage as opposed to flowing leaks -possible action*: > Dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back into lagoon. > If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil > Other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil *Lagoon problems require the consultation of an individual experienced in the design and installation of lagoons for permanent repair measures. 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. The numbers are listed below: a. During normal business hours, call your DWQ (formerly DENT) regional office (910) 395 -3900, Emergency number: (919) 733-3942. Your phone call should include: your name, facility, telephone number, the details of the incident from item 2 above, 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 under taken, and the seriousness of the situation. b. If spill leaves property or enters surface waters, call local EMS (910) 259-1210 or 911. c. Instruct EMS to contact local Health Department (910) 259-1233. ` d.

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 Since ly, A.
