In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you must ]seep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers. Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRR1, 1RR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2, SLDI, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an appropriate enforcement action. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting requirement.

On June 4, 1997, Staff .from the Wilmington Regional Office. of the Division of Water Quality inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. It was observed that the lagoon had insufficient freeboard. USDA-NRCS guidelines require a minimum of one foot and seven inches of freeboard. This is based on the amount of storage space needed to contain a 25-year, 24 hour design storm event without a discharge. MRCS requirements also specify that animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops. And that . 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. The level of your waste lagoon needs to be lowered and maintained in accordance with the NRCS guidelines and the -state 2H .0200 riles governing animal, waste management systems.. In addition, as was discussed with Will Scott during the inspection, all trees on the lagoon wall should be cut and the root systems completely. removed. Overgrown vegetation on the lagoon wall should be mowed. We suggest that you contact your service company, local NRCS or Soil and Water District office for any assistance they may be able to provide to correct the situation. 127 Cardinal Dive Extension, Vrdmington, N.C. 2M5-3845 a Telephone 910-395-3900 a Fax 910-350.2404 An Equal opportunity Affirmative Action Employer Wi Joe Williamson June b, 1997 Page 2.

March 23, 1994 Joe Williamson Rt 3 Box 284B Whiteville NC 28472 Dear Mr. Williamson: This is to inform you that your completed registration form required by the recently modified nondischarge rule has been received by the Division of Environmental Management (DEM), Water Quality Section. On December 10, 1992 the Environmental Management Commission adopted a water quality rule which governs animal waste management systems. The goal of the rule is for animal operations to be managed such that animal waste is not discharged to surface waters of the state. The rule allows animal waste systems to be "deemed permitted" if certain minimum criteria are met (15A NCAC 2H .0217). By submitting this registration you have met one of the criteria for being deemed permitted. We would like to remind you that existing feedlots which meet the size thresholds listed in the rule, and any new or expanded feedlots constructed between February 1, 1993 and December 31, 1993 must submit a signed certification form (copy enclosed) to DEM by December 31, 1997. New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31, 1993 must obtain signed certification before jnimall are stocked on thrfarm. Certification of an approved animal waste management plan can be obtained after the Soil and Water Conservation Commission adopts rules later this year. We appreciate you providing us with this information. If you have any question, about the new nondischarge rule, please contact David -Harding at (919) 733-5083.
