Form. In this example, the average sludge layer thickness is 2.5 ft, The dimensions of the
lagoon and the side slope are needed for calculations. if the lagoon is a standard geometric
shape, the volume of sludge. in the lagoon can then be estimated by using, standard equations.
For rectangular lagoons and constant side slope, calculate length and width at midpoint of

Dear B&F Farms Inc:
In accordance with your application received on 13-Dee-06, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to B&F Farms Inc, authorizing the operation of the subject animal
waste management system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
and land application of animal waste as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management
Plan (CAWMP) for the B & F Farms, Inc., located in Columbus County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than the following swine annual averages:
Wean to Finish: 0 Feeder to Finish: 7040 Boar/Stud: 0
Wean to Feeder: 0 Farrow to Wean: 0 Gilts: 0
Farrow to Finish: 0 Farrow to Feeder: 0
If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows.
Where boars are unnecessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows
may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009 and replaces the NPDES
COC issued to this facility with an expiration date of July 1, 2007. You are required to continue
conducting annual surveys of sludge accumulation in all lagoons at your facility; the one-year extension
in Condition M.19 does not apply.
Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the
conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An
adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information
must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design
capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a
modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either
wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is
a package containing the new and revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay
careful attention to the record keevina and monitoring conditions in this permit.

If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site -specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization.Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does riot excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws,..rules, standards; and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.

documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking
of the facility.
Per 15A NCAC 02T .0111(c) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100-foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any wetted area of a
spray field.
Per 15A NCAC 02T .1306, any containment basin, such as a lagoon or waste storage structure, shall
continue to be subject to the conditions and requirements of the facility's permit until closed to NRCS
standards and the permit is rescinded by the Division.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief.

Appendix 5. Sludge Volume Worksheet.
The average thickness of the sludge layer is determined from the Lagoon Sludge Survey
Form. In this example, the average sludge layer thickness is 2.5 ft. The dimensions of the
lagoon and the side slope are needed for calculations. If the lagoon is a standard geometric
shape, the volume of sludge in the lagoon can then be estimated by using standard equations.
For rectangular lagoons and constant side slope, calculate length and width at midpoint of
sludge layer, and multiply by sludge layer thickness to calculate sludge layer volume as
shown in the example. if the lagoon is an irregular shape, the sludge volume can be
estimated by using the total surface area in square feet and taking the square root to
obtain the dimensions for a square lagoon, and then use the same procedure as listed
below.

B & F has called in today (2/27/04) with their lagoon level at 18
inches. I have already entered them into the Emergency data base. POA is
due 2/29/04. Well that won't happen. I'll put one together for them on
Monday (3/1/04). I have also told Rick about this one.
Also, I received the e-mail from R.0 Britt as a cc and did not enter
that one being it came to you.
Thanks,
John College

Division of Water Quality
On March 21, 2003, a representative of your animal operation informed the Division of
Water Quality (DWQ) that there was inadequate freeboard in the lagoon(s) serving this facility.
This lack of adequate freeboard is in non-compliance with the Certificate of Coverage
issued to this facility on April 21, 1997. In addition to this Notice of Violation (NOV), this non--
compliance is subject to an appropriate enforcement action by DWQ. This action can consist of
one or more of the following: a civil or criminal enforcement action; an injunction; and/or a
requirement to apply for coverage under an individual permit. The action chosen.will be based
on complete evaluation of all factors that resulted in the inadequate freeboard; the actions taken
to restore the needed freeboard; and the actions being proposed to prevent the problem from
reoccurring.
To assist us in our review, please provide the Wilmington Regional Office with an
evaluation of the reasons for the freeboard violation(s) and a strategy to prevent future freeboard
violation(s). This evaluation and strategy must include but is not limited to the following:
Current Freeboard level(s)
Freeboard level records in the lagoon(s) for the past 12 months up to the date of submittal
Spraying records for the past 12 months up to the date of submittal

Dear Spruell R./Harold F./Kenneth H./Johnny P. Britt/Foley/Foley/Britt:
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRR1, UM, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the

Dear B&F Farms Inc:
Subject: NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY
B&F Farms Inc
Facility Number: 24-64
Columbus County
On May 6, 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 erosion cuts
and other bane areas on the lagoon wall could threaten the integrity of the structure. It was also observed
that several waterways in your irrigation fields did not have a vegetative cover.
As we discussed during the inspection, the erosion cuts in the lagoon wall should be filled and
revegetated..Other bare antes on the lagoon wall should also be revegetated. In addition, a vegetative cover
should be established in irrigation field waterways. 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 these
situations.
To remain a deemed'permitted facility, you must notify this office in writing within fourteen (14) days
of the receipt of this notice, what actions will be taken to comply with your waste management plan. Failure
to do so may result in the facility losing it's deemed permitted status.

TYPE OPERATION: Feeder to Finish Swine
NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 7040 hogs design capacity
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specifies
rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater_ The plant r
nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of
commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where 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.
cc
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization
plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to
ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always
apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can
utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infilitration
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 pre-
cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per
acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is
raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions
may result -in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM
regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift
and downwind odor problems. 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 to bare ground
not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this
is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you
choose to inject the waste in the future, you need to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating waste are
not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage require-
ments should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste
management facility. Attached you will find information on proper
sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to
the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 2
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
7040 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hags/year = 13376 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
7040 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 16192 lbs. PAN/year
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time
and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied
while meeting the N requirments. Beginning in 1996 the Coastal bone
Management Act will require farmers in some eastern counties of NC to
.have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This
plan only addresses Nitrogen.

- Indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. interplanted)
or winter annuals follow summer annuals.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded
in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through.grazing,
hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed
when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle
should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four
inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed
for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small
grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too
high and this will definitely interfere with the 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
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late
September or early October. Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a
height of about two inches before drilling for best results.
* Acreage figures may exceed total acreage in fields due to
overseeding.
** lbs AW N (animal waste nitrogen) equals total required nitrogen
less any commercial nitrogen (COMM N) supplied.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than
the acres shown in the tables.
NOTE: 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 2604.8 pounds of plant
available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the sludge that will need to be
removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting
the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well
special equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge.
