Skvarla, III Secretary October 1, 2014 Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. AWS960046 N & W Pig Farms Swine Waste Collection, Treatment, Storage and Application System Wayne County In accordance with your renewal request, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Julian B Nelms, 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 N & W Pig Farms, located in Wayne County, with a swine animal capacity of no greater than the following annual averages: Wean to Finish: Feeder to Finish: Boar/Stud: Wean to Feeder: 7000 Farrow to Wean: Gilts: Farrow to Finish: Farrow to Feeder: Other: If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may 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. This COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2019, and shall hereby void Certificate of Coverage Number AWS960046 that was previously issued to this facility. 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 read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit carefully. Please pay careful attention to the record keeping and monitoring conditions in this permit Record keeping forms are unchanged with this General Permit. Please continue to use the same record keepin forms. orms 1636 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1636 Phone: 919-607-64641Internet: http://www.nedenr.00v/ An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer— Made in part by recycled paper If your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) has been developed based on site -specific information, careful evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current WUP is inaccurate you will need to have a new WUP developed. The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property. 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. 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. If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to apply for an individual permit by contacting the Animal Feeding Operations Program for information on this process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding. In accordance with Condition II.22 of the General Permit, waste application shall cease within four (4) hours of the time that the National Weather Service issues a Hurricane Warning, Tropical Storm Warning, or a Flood Watch associated with a tropical system for the county in which the facility is located. You may find detailed watch/waming information for your county by calling the Raleigh, NC National Weather Service office at (919) 515-8209, or by visiting their website at: hU://www.weather.goy/rah/ This facility is located in a county covered by our Washington Regional Office.

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake. This 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 or 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 field in order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A 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 manure generated by the operation.

Infiltration rate varies with soils. If applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system, you must apply at a rate that will not result in runoff.

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for sludge utilization for the indicated accumulation period. 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, 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 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). 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. 281995 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 2/3/2009 Specification Page 1 S. 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. 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. ----------I -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------=--------------------------------------------------------- 281995 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 2/3/2009 Specification Page 2 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. 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 five (5) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. --------------------------------------------------------------- I ------------------- ------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------- 281995 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 2/3/2009 Specification Page 3 Crop Notes The following crop note applies to field(s): 12 P9, 18 P10 Corn 1: CP, Mineral Soil, low -leachable In the Coastal Plain, corn is normally planted when soil temperatures reach 52 to 55 degrees fahrenheit.

Bush Jr., Chief of the Aquifer Protection Section of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ), make the following: FINDINGS OF FACT: A. Mr. Julian Nelms and Mr. Harvey L. Whitley, Jr. own and operate N & W Pig Farms, a permitted/certified swine animal feeding operation in Wayne County. B. Mr. Nelms and Mr. Whitley were issued a Certificate of Coverage AWS960046 under State General Permit AWG100000 on October 1, 2004, effective upon issuance, with an expiration date of September 30, 2009. C. Condition No. I. 1. of the "Performance Standards" of the State General Permit states in part that, "Any discharge of waste which reaches surface waters or wetlands is prohibited except as otherwise provided in this permit. Waste shall not reach surface waters by runoff, drift, manmade conveyance, direct application, direct discharge or through ditches not otherwise classified as state waters... Any discharge or application of waste to a ditch that drains to surface waters or wetlands is prohibited except as follows: (a) discharges from the ditches are controlled by best management practices (BMPs) designed in accordance with NRCS standards; (b) the BMPs have been submitted to and approved by the Division of Water Quality (Division); (c) the BMPs were implemented as designed to prevent a discharge to surface waters or wetlands; (d) the waste was removed immediately from the ditch upon discovery; and (e) the event was documented and reported in accordance with Part 111.13. of this General Permit. Nothing in this exception shall excuse a discharge to surface waters or wetlands except as may result because of rainfall from a storm event more severe than the 25- year, 24-hour storm." D. Condition No. 11. 1. of the "Operation and Maintenance Requirements" of the State General Permit states that "The collection, treatment, and storage facilities, and the land application equipment and fields shall be properly operated and maintained at all times." E. Condition No. IL 4. of the "Operation and Maintenance Requirements" of the State General Permit states that "Land application rates shall be in accordance with the CAWMP. In no case shall land application rates exceed the agronomic rate of the nutrient of concern for the receiving crop. In no case shall land application rates result in excessive ponding or any runoff during any given application event". F. Condition No. II. 16. of the "Operation and Maintenance Requirements" of the State General Permit states in part that the "Operator in Charge (OTC) or a designated back-up OIC of a Type A Animal Waste Management System shall inspect, or a person under the supervision of an OIC or designated back-up OIC shall inspect, the land application site as often as necessary to insure that the animal waste is land applied in accordance with the CAWMP". G. Condition No. III. 13. of the "Monitoring and Reporting Requirements" of the State General Permit requires in part that the permittee shall report by telephone to the appropriate Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of the following: a) Any discharge to ditches, surface waters, or wetlands; d) Over applying waste either in excess of the limits set out in the CAWMP or where runoff enters surface waters or wetlands or; e) Failure of any component of the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system resulting in a discharge to surface waters or wetlands. H. On March 20, 2008, The Division of Soil and Water Conservation conducted an annual review and found that a discharge occurred into a drainage ditch at the N&W Pig Farms. Also, visual evidence was found to indicate that the March 18, 2008 irrigation event caused wastewater to pond in several places on a wheat field. The Division of Soil and Water Conservation referred the discharge and ponding instances to DWQ. Once notified, DWQ performed an onsite investigation at the facility and confirmed the presence of ponding and wastewater in a drainage ditch. During the investigation, a facility records review supported that irrigation activities had occurred onto 2.47 acres of a wheat crop. Wastewater runoff traveled from the wheat field onto two lower fields, northwest of the wheat field. No explanation was given by Mr. Nelms during the March 20, 2008 DWQ investigation as to how the hydraulic overloading (35,810 gallons/acre) or discharge into the ditch occurred. The Washington Regional Office was not notified by the Permittee of the state of non- compliance. I. N&W Pig Farms have had no previous violations in their compliance history. J. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $579.18. Based upon the above Findings of Facts, I make the following: 11. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: A. Mr. Julian Nelms and Mr. Harvey L. Whitley, Jr. are each a "person" within the meaning of' G. S. 143-215.6A pursuant to G. S. 143-212(4). B. A permit for an animal waste management system is required by G.S. 143-215.1. C. The above -cited discharge to a ditch violated Condition No. I. 1. of the State General Permit. D. The above -cited failure to properly operate and maintain the land application equipment and fields violated Condition No. IL 1. of the State General Permit. 2 e E. The above -cited failures to apply waste at land application rates in accordance with the CAWMP and to avoid excessive ponding or runoff violated Condition No. II. 4. of the State General Permit. F. The above -cited failure of the Operator In Charge (or their surrogate) to inspect the land application site such that animal waste was applied in accordance with the CAWMP violated Condition No. II. 16. of the State General Permit. G. The above -cited failure to notify DWQ of a discharge violated Conditions No. Ill. 13 a, d, and e of the State General Permit. H. Mr. Julian Nelms and Mr. Harvey L. Whitley, Jr. 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 that twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) per violation may be assessed against a person who is required but fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of a permit required by G. S. 143-215.1. I. The State's enforcement costs in this matter may be assessed against Mr. Julian Nelms and Mr. Harvey L. Whitley, Jr., pursuant to G. S. 143-215.3(a)(9) and G. S. 14313-282.1(b)(8).

(Date) Theodore L. Bush, Jr. Chief Aquifer Protection Section Division of Water Quality 4 Memorandum To: Keith Larick, Animal Feeding Operations Permitting and Compliance Unit Supervisor Animal Feeding Operation Penmitting Compliance Unit Through: David May, Water Quality Supervisor Washington Regional Office From: Mark E. Newsome, Environmental Engineer I Washington Regional Office Subject: Enforcement Package N & W Pig Farms Permit No. AWS960046 Wayne County Date: May 6, 2008 Introduction: N & W Pig Farms is owned and operated by Mr. Julian Nelms and Mr. Harvey L. Whitley, Jr. This facility, located on Highway I I I South in Wayne County, began operation in 1994. The facility has the capacity to raise 7,000 wean to feeder swine and the overall design for this facility is 210,000 steady state live weight. Report: On March 20, 2008 at 11:30 A.M., the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received an initial report of wastewater discharge to a drainage ditch from Mr. Martin McLawhorn, Environmental Specialist of the Division of Soil and Water Conservation. On March 20, 2008 Eric Newsome of the DWQ investigated and determined that hydraulic overload occurred on a 2.47-acre pull of a wheat field due to excessive spray irrigation. The extent of the overload caused wastewater to run onto two lower terraces northwest of the wheat field. According to facility records, the north lagoon (#1) was pumped down by 6" (approximately of 88,451 gallons) on March 18, 2008. According to Mr. Nelms, the north lagoon solely supplied wastewater for the above -described event. Visual evidence of ponding was consistent with the fact that applying 88,451 gallons would have exceeded the standard loading rate suggested by the Waste Utilization Plan for this field (35,810 gallons/acre vs. 27,154 gallons/acre). In addition, the March 20, 2008 DWQ investigation revealed that loose fittings in the irrigation supply line discharged wastewater from this line into a farm drainage ditch. Although the waste was recovered without it leaving the facility, it was estimated that 1,200 gallons of water were seen standing in the ditch prior to clean up efforts beginning. No telephonic notification was made to the Washington Regional Office within twenty-four (24) hours of becoming aware of the March 18, 2008 discharge; furthermore, no explanation was given by Mr. Nelms on March 20, 2008 as to how the overload and discharge occurred. Please find a table with the sample results below. The Finding and Decisions and Assessment Factors are attached for review. r Conclusion: Mr. Julian Nelms and Mr. Harvey L. Whitley, Jr., owners and operators of N & W Pig Farms, are in violation of their permit and North Carolina General Statue 143-215.1(a) for discharging hog waste to surface waters and/or a ditch; failing to properly operate and maintain land application equipment and fields; failing to apply wastewater such that ponding and runoff were avoided, and; failing to notify DWQ of the non compliance event. Recommendations: It is recommended that the appropriate civil penalties be assessed against this subject facility, N & W Pig Farms, located in Wayne County, owned and operated by Mr. Julian Nelms and Mr. Harvey L. Whitley, Jr. The Washington Regional Office recommends that penalties be assessed for the four violations'described in the Conclusion. 0 DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY ANIMAL OPERATIONS ENFORCEMENT CASE REPORT ENFORCEMENT # NOV-2008-PC-0225 Section 1: General Information 1.

No telephonic notification was made to the Washington Regional Office within twenty-four (24) hours of becoming aware of the March 18, 2008 discharge; furthermore, no explanation was given Mr. Nelms on March 20, 2008 as to how the overload and discharge occurred. 2. Farm and/or company compliance History: A database and file review indicates that no violations or penalties have been assessed against this farm in the past. 3. Amount of Waste discharged (if applicable). 1,200 gallons into a farm drainage ditch. 4. Sample Results (if applicable) with locations of samples taken noted in relation to discharge point: One sample was taken of the ponded water on the eastern edge of the wheat field for nitrogen and phosphorus analyses Lab results showed significant levels of ammonia (390 mg/L) total kjeldahl nitrogen (420 mg/L), and phosphorus (50 mg/L) present. Sample Sampling Date Ammonia TKN Nitrates, Phosphorus, Location NH3 as N (mg/L) Nitrites P (111g/1_) (mg/L) (NO3, NOz) m /L East end of 3/20/2008 390 420 ND 50 wheat field (F-1) ND -Not Detected 5. Violator's degree of cooperation (including efforts to prevent or restore) recalcitrance: Mr. Nelms and Mr. Whitley have been cooperative; efforts to clean up the discharged and ponded wastewater began during the March 20, 2008 investigation and were completed by March 24, 2008. 6. Damage? Y/N If yes, include report from WRC: No 7. Mitigating Circumstances: None Nowhere in the April 17, 2008 facility response to DWO do the respondents deny that wastewater ponded in the subject wheat field; nor did the facility deny that the aluminum supply line discharged into the drainage ditch. In response to the facility's April 17, 2008 explanation of events, the WaRO questions the following theories: 1)For adjacent pulls on the same tract of the same Aycock soil type, why weren't identical ruts seen in the investigation photo taken? What would have been the operator's reasoning for only irrigating one null twice within a 72 hour period? 2) Althoueh the facility response states that a trace amount of rainfall contributed to runoff following the nighttime application on 3/18, the DWO investigation on 3/20/08 saw wastewater standing Predominantly in the southeastern corner of the wheat tract, within the wetted diameter of the gun. Why wasn't wastewater seen in equal amounts in all directions surroundinc> the gun on an Aycock soil type listed in the Waste Utilization Plan as having a 0-1°/0 slope? The WaRO contends that 2/10 of an inch of rain had a minimal impact on the result. 3) Along the lines of item 2, ponded wastewater was seen along a terrace, approximately 340 feet west of what would be the north end of pull #4. Using a gun ring size of 0.96" and flowrate of 225gpm this distance could have been covered by improper operation. 8. Recommendations made to the owner/operator: Mr. Nelms was advised on March 20, 2008 to do the following: 1) numn the wastewater from the drainage ditch into a tank and transfer the contents back into the north lagoon (lagoon #1)• 2) Collect the ponded areas and pump this wastewater back into the north lagoon (lagoon #1), and; 3) Seal the "washout" drain on the northern edge of the wheat field with compacted soil or clay to prevent further runoff to the lower terraced fields. 9.

Recommendations for further DWQ Action: Continue to focus on facility records and field conditions during annual compliance inspections. 11. Other Comments: N/A Section III: Assessment Factors required to be considered by G.S. 14313-282. 1 (b): 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: Animal waste has the potential to deplete dissolved oxygen in the affected water body to a point which is harmful to aquatic life. Waste water also contains nutrients which have the potential to spawn algal growth to the point which is harmful to aquatic life. Surface waters --the drainage ditch --did receive wastewater. 2. The duration and gravity of the violation: The violations occurred March 18 through March 20, 2008. 3. The effect on ground or surface quantity or quality: The two northwest (terraced) fields served as a vegetative filter, preventing wheat field runoff from entering the nearby Nahunta Swamp. The farm drainage ditch was sloped such that wastewater was contained onsite until water was removed. One waste sample was collected in an eastern area of the wheat field where ponding was observed. The results are illustrated in the following table: Sample Sampling Ammonia TKN Nitrates, Phosphorus, Location Date NH3 as N (mg/L) Nitrites P (mg/L) (mg/L) (NO3, NOZ) mgL East end of 3/20/2008 390 420 ND 50 wheat field (F-1) ND -Not Detected 4. The cost of rectifying the damage: The farm managers could have spent far fewer hours being preventative (monitoringthe he spray operations) than the time they spent cleaning up the area--48 to 72 hours. Ruts created by the excessive irrigation and farm equipment have damaged part of the wheat crop. 5. The amount of money saved by noncompliance: Money is saved when better management skills are implemented to improve overall management of the facility, environmentally and productively. Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentional: Mr. Nelms and Mr. Whitley both have an active Tvne A operator's license. What is even more interesting is that the facility response fails to explicitly state who "the OIC" was onsite during the two alleged irrigation events on 3/15/08 and 3/18/08. Although it cannot be proven whether either of them was onsite during the event or events, each is responsible for the consequence of the action. Therefore, it is the conclusion of the WaRO that either: a) the decision to let the active violation occur, b) the decision to leave someone in charge who was incanable of properly operating the system, or c) the decision to leave the spray un running unattended was willful The prior record of the violator(s) in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority: N & W Pig Farms has not been cited for any permit violations prior to this event. 8.

Newsome, Environmental Engineer I Washington Regional Office Subject: Enforcement Package N & W Pig Farms Permit No. AWS960046 Wayne County 3° Date: April/9, 2008 Introduction: N & W Pig Farms is owned and operated by Mr. Julian Nelms and Mr. Harvey L. Whitley, Jr..This facility, located on Highway I I I South in Wayne County, began operation in 1994. "file facility has the capacity to raise 7,000 wean to feeder swine and the overall design for this facility is 210,000 steady state live weight. Report: On March 20, 2008 at 11:30 A.M., the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received an initial report of wastewater discharge to a drainage ditch from Mr. Martin McLawhorn, Environmental Specialist of the Division of Soil and Water Conservation. On March 20, 2008 Eric Newsome of the DWQ investigated and determined that hydraulic overload occurred on a 2.47-acre pull of a wheat field due to excessive spray irrigation. The extent of the overload caused wastewater to run onto two lower terraces northwest of the wheat field. According to facility records, the north lagoon (#1) was pumped down by 6" (approximately of 88,451 gallons) on March 18, 2008. According to Mr. Nelms, the north lagoon solely supplied wastewater for the above -described event. Visual evidence of ponding was consistent with the fact that applying 88,451 gallons would have exceeded the standard loading rate suggested by the Waste Utilization Plan for this field (35,810 gallons/acre vs. 27,154 gallons/acre). In addition, the March 20, 2008 DWQ investigation revealed that loose fittings in the irrigation supply line discharged wastewater from this line into a farm drainage ditch. Although the waste was recovered without it leaving the facility, it was estimated that 1,200 gallons of water were seen standing ill the ditch prior to clean up efforts beginning. No telephonic notification was made to the Washington Regional Office within twenty-four (24) hours of becoming aware of the March 18, 2008 discharge; furthermore, no explanation was given by Mr. Nelms on March 20, 2008 as to how the overload and discharge occurred. Please find a table with the sample results below. The Finding and Decisions and Assessment Factors are attached for review. 5 Conclusion: Mr. Julian Nelms and Mr. Harvey L. Whitley, Jr., owners and operators of N & W Pig Farms, are in violation of their permit and North Carolina General Statue 143-215.1(a) for discharging hog waste to surface waters and/or a ditch; failing to properly operate and maintain land application equipment and Gelds; failing to apply wastewater such that ponding and runoff were avoided, and; failing to notify DWQ of the non compliance event. Recommendations: It is recommended that the appropriate civil penalties be assessed against this subject facility, N & W Pig Farnns, located in Wayne County, owned and operated by Mr. Julian Nelms and Mr. Harvey L. Whitley, Jr. The Washington Regional Office recommends that penalties be assessed for the four violations described in the Conclusion.

Eric Newsome Section II: Findings Case Narrative: On March 20 2008 at 1 1:30 A.M., the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received an initial report of wastewater discharge to a drainage ditch from Mr. Martin McLawhorn Environmental Specialist of the Division of Soil and Water Conservation. On March 20 2008 Eric Newsome of the DWQ investigated and determined that hydraulic overload occurred on a 2 47-acre pull of a wheat field due to excessive spray irrigation The extent of the overload caused wastewater to run onto two lower terraces northwest of the wheat field. According to facility records, the north lagoon (#1) was pumped down by 6" (approximately of 88,451 gallons) on March 18 2008. According to Mr. Nelms the north lagoon solely supplied wastewater for the above -described event. Visual evidence of ponding was consistent with the fact that applying 88 451 gallons would have exceeded the standard loading rag to suggested by the Waste Utilization Plan for this field (35,8 10 gallons/acre vs 27,154 gallons/acre). In addition the March 20 2008 DWQ investigation revealed that loose fittings in the irrigation supply line discharged wastewater from this line into a farm drainage ditch Although the waste was recovered without it leaving the facility, it was estimated that 1,200 gallons of water were seen standing in the ditch prior to clean up efforts beginning. No telephonic notification was made to the Washington Regional Office within twenty-four (24) hours of becoming aware of the March 18, 2008 discharge; furthermore, no explanation was given by Mr. Nelms on March 20, 2008 as to how the overload and discharge occurred. 2. Farm and/or company compliance History: A database and file review indicates that no violations or penalties have been assessed against this farm in the past. 3. Amount of Waste discharged (if applicable). 1,200 gallons into a farm drainage ditch. Sample Results (if applicable) with locations of samples taken noted in relation to discharge point: One sample was taken of the ponded water on the eastern edge of the wheat field for nitrogen � and phosphorus analyses Lab results showed significant levels of ammonia (390 nig/L), total kieldahl nitrogen (420 mg/L), and phosphorus (50 mg/L) present. Sample Sampling Date Ammonia TKN Nitrates, Phosphorus, Location NH3 as N (mg/L) Nitrites P (mg/L) (mg/L) (NO,, NO2) m /L East end of 3/20/2008 390 420 ND 50 Wheat field (F-1) ND -Not Detected 5. Violator's degree of cooperation (including efforts to prevent or restore) recalcitrance: Mr. Nelms and Mr. Whitley have been cooperative; efforts to clean up the discharged and ponded wastewater bed during the March 20, 2008 investigation and were completed by March 24, 2008. 6. Damage? Y/N If yes, include report from WRC: No Mitigating Circumstances: None. Nowhere in the April 17, 2008 facility response to DWO do the resmondents denv that wastewater ponded in the subiect wheat field: nor did the facility denv that the aluminum supply line discharged into the drainage ditch. In response to the facility's April 17, 2008 explanation of events, the WaRO questions the following theories: 1)For adiacent pulls on the same tract of the same Aycock soil type, why weren't identical ruts seen in the investigation photo taken? What would have been the operator's reasoning for onlv irrigating one mull twice within a 72 hour period? 2) Although the facility response states that a trace amount of rainfall contributed to runoff following the nighttime application on 3/18, the DWO investigation on 3/20/08 saw wastewater standing predominantly in the southeastern corner of the wheat tract, within the wetted diameter of the <<� m. Why wasn't wastewater seen in equal amounts in all directions surrounding the gun on an Aycock soil type listed in the Waste Utilization Plan as having a 0-1% slope? The WaRO contends that 2/10 of an inch of rain had a minimal impact on the result. 3) Along the lines of item 2, ponded wastewater was seen along a terrace, approximately 340 feet west of what would be the north end of pull #4. Using a gun ring size of 0.96" and flowrate of 225gpm this distance could have been covered by improper operation. Recommendations made to the owner/operator: Mr. Nelms was advised on March 20, 2008 to do the following: 1) pump the wastewater from the drainage ditch into a tank and transfer the contents back into the north lagoon (lagoon #1); 2) Collect the ponded areas and pump this wastewater back into the north lagoon (lagoon #1), and; 3) Seal the "washout" drain on the northern edge of the wheat field with compacted soil or clay to prevent further runoff to the lower terraced fields. 9.

Recommendations for further DWQ Action: Continue to focus on facility records and field conditions during annual compliance inspections. 11. Other Continents: N/A Section III: Assessment Factors required to be considered by G.S. 14313-282.1(b): l . 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: Animal waste has the potential to deplete dissolved oxygen in the affected water body to a point which is harmful to aquatic life. Waste water also contains nutrients which have the potential to spawn algal growth to the point which is harmful to aquatic life. Surface waters --the drainage ditch --did receive wastewater. 2. The duration and gravity of the violation: The violations occurred March 18 through March 20. 2008. The effect on ground or surface quantity or quality: The two northwest (terraced) fields served as a vegetative filter, preventing wheat field runoff from entering the nearby Nahunta Swamp. The farm drainage ditch was sloped such that wastewater was contained onsite until water was removed. One waste sample was collected in an eastern area of the wheat field where ponding was observed.

A Notice of Violation/Notice of Recommendation for Enforcement is being prepared from the DWO-WaRO. Incident Questions: Did the Material reach the Surface Water? Yes Surface Water Name? farm drainage ditch Did the Spill result in a Fish Kill? No If the Spill was from a storage tank indicate type. Containment? Yes Cleanup Complete? Yes Water Supply Wells within 1500ft : No Directions: From WaRO take Hwy 264 West to Hwy 117 South at Fremont, take Hwy 222 East for 5 miles and turn right (south) onto Hwy 111. Dirt farm path is the first right-hand turn. Comments Visual evidence from 3/20/08 visit(photos taken) supports notion that excess irrigation left the field and ran down into lower northwest fields --about 100 feet away. Also the spray gun was not stopped until approximately 1,200 gallons washed into the farm drainage ditch. According to freeboard records the servicing lagoon was lowered 3/18/08; this is approximately 88,451 gallons onto 2.5 acre pull (35,810 gallons/acre). No wastewater was found to have entered the Nahunta Swamp wetlands.

The purpose of this visit was to investigate allegations of hydraulic overload and ponding of wastewater surrounding an irrigation event. Driving along the dirt path toward Farms 1 &2, there was an irrigation reel fifty-two (52) feet ahead that was still attached to the hydrant. There was also an irrigation gun (still attached to said reel) sitting in the northeast wheat field (NEE) of the farm. There was one drainage ditch on either side of the farm path: the right-hand ditch ran along the southern edge of the NEF, approximately five (5) feet from the reel; the left-hand ditch ran parallel to the right-hand ditch, along the opposite southeast wheat field (SEF). It could clearly be seen that the right-hand ditch (NEF) had a murky; dark colored appearance compared to the left-hand ditch; an odor of swine waste was also noticeable. The right hand ditch also held the metal supply line from the lagoon to the reel; this supply line was loose in several places when shaken by foot. Walking out into the NEF along the irrigation pull, there were two sets of ruts, presumably dug out from the weight of the hauling tractor on the wet soil. There was ponded wastewater in both sets of ruts: The first pair was south of the gun, with each rut I foot wide, three inches deep, and thirty feet long (112 gallons). The second pair was north of the gun, with each rut 1 foot wide, two inches deep, and forty-eight feet long (120 gallons). At 2:20 pin, I met with owner Mr. Julian Nelms and two other gentlemen (Bob, and `Bob's Dad"). The three men began preparations to pump the right hand ditch into a plastic tote, which would then be emptied back into the original source lagoon. During this date, Mr. Nelms stated that the last irrigation event occurred 3/18/2008. At approximately 3:00 pm Mr. Will Hart of the APS arrived to assist with this investigation. First, Mr. Hart and Mr. Newsome walked the length of the right hand ditch to detennine if any irrigation water might have escaped its boundaries. It was observed that after about 600 feet southwest of the gun, the ditch has a swale that would prevent water from running any further southwest. It was concluded that although this water needs to be pumped out, it was contained and could not run on its own across any other surfaces. A visual estimate of the water volume in this right hand ditch was 1,216 gallons. Second, Mr. Hart and Mr. Newsome walked to the northwest side of the NEF. Visual confirmation was made that wastewater did flow from the wheat field through a "washout" drain. However, the two contour terraces and stubble vegetation below the wheat field prevented flow of wastewater into the northwest tributary of the Nahunta Swamp. A visual estimate of the total volume of ponded wastewater on the two lower ridges was 325 gallons. Field Notes from 3_20_08 N&W Farm Complaint 2 of 2 Finally, while Mr. Hart took an analysis sample of ponded water from the NEF, Mr. Newsome reviewed the lagoon freeboard records. Lagoon #1 was lowered 6 inches (11,825 cu ft or 88,451 gallons) while Lagoon #2 was lowered 12 inches (23,650 cu ft or 176,902 gallons). A 3/24/08 follow-up visit to visually check the clean up efforts yielded positive results. There was no standing water seen: 1) in the right-hand ditch ran along the southern edge of the NEF; 2) in the rutted areas where the irrigation gun stood in the NEF or; 3) the two ponded areas on the contour terraces.

Bush Jr., Chief of the Aquifer Protection Section of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ), make the following: FINDINGS OF FACT: A. Mr. Julian Nelms and Mr. Harvey L. Whitley, Jr. own and operate N & W Pig Farms, a permitted/certified swine animal feeding operation in Wayne County. B. Mr. Nelms and Mr. Whitley were issued a Certificate of Coverage AWS960046 under State General Permit AWG100000 on October 1, 2004, effective upon issuance, with an expiration date of September 30, 2009. C. Condition No. I. 1. of the "Performance Standards" of the State General Permit states in part that, "Any discharge of waste which reaches surface waters or wetlands is prohibited except as otherwise provided in this permit. Waste shall not reach surface waters by runoff, drift, manmade conveyance, direct application, direct discharge or through ditches not otherwise classified as state waters... Any discharge or application of waste to a ditch that drains to surface waters or wetlands is prohibited except as follows: (a) discharges from the ditches are controlled by best management practices (BMPs) designed in accordance with NRCS standards; (b) the BMPs have been submitted to and approved by the Division of Water Quality (Division); (c) the BMPs were implemented as designed to prevent a discharge to surface waters or wetlands; (d) the waste was removed immediately from the ditch upon discovery; and (e) the event was documented and reported in accordance with Part I11.I 3. of this General Permit. Nothing in this exception shall excuse a discharge to surface waters or wetlands except as may result because of rainfall from a storm event more severe than the 25- year, 24-hour storm." D. Condition No. II. 1. of the "Operation and Maintenance Requirements" of the State General Permit states that "The collection, treatment, and storage facilities, and the land application equipment and fields shall be properly operated and maintained at all times." E. Condition No. II. 4. of the "Operation and Maintenance Requirements" of the State General Permit states that "Land application rates shall be in accordance with the CAWMP. In no case shall land application rates exceed the agronomic rate of the nutrient of concern for the receiving crop. In no case shall land application rates result in excessive ponding or any runoff during any given application event". F. Condition No. II. 16. of the "Operation and Maintenance Requirements" of the State General Permit states in part that the "Operator in Charge (OIC) or a designated back-up OIC of a Type A Animal Waste Management System shall inspect, or a person under the supervision of an OIC or designated back-up OIC shall inspect, the land application site as often as necessary to insure that the animal waste is land applied in accordance with the CAWMP". G. Condition No. III. 13. of the "Monitoring and Reporting Requirements" of the State General Permit requires in partthat the permittee shall report by telephone to the appropriate Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of the following: a) Any discharge to ditches, surface waters, or wetlands; d) Over applying waste either in excess of the limits set out in the CAWMP or where runoff enters surface waters or wetlands or; e) Failure of any component of the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system resulting in a discharge to surface waters or wetlands. 1-I. On March 20, 2008, The Division of Soil and Water Conservation conducted an annual review and found that a discharge occurred into a drainage ditch at the N&W Pig Farms. Also, visual evidence was found to indicate that the March 18, 2008 irrigation event caused wastewater to pond in several places on a wheat field. The Division of Soil and Water Conservation referred the discharge and ponding instances to DWQ. Once notified, DWQ performed an onsite investigation at the facility to confirm the violations and to sample a ponded area of the excessive irrigation. During the investigation, a facility records review supported visual evidence that excess wastewater (no fewer than 88,451 gallons) was pumped onto 2.47 acres of the wheat crop. Furthermore, wastewater runoff traveled from the wheat field onto two lower fields, northwest of the wheat field. Finally, the irrigation supply line was found lying submerged in wastewater within the aforementioned drainage ditch; the supply line was loosely connected at several fittings. No explanation was given by Mr. Nelms during the March 20, 2008 DWQ investigation as to ]low the hydraulic overloading (35,810 gallons/acre) or discharge into the ditch occurred. L N&W Pig Farms have had no previous violations in their compliance history. J. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $663.34. Based upon the above Findings of Facts, I make the following: II. CONCLUSIONS OF LAW: A. Mr. Julian Nelms and Mr. Harvey L. Whitley, Jr. are each a "person" within the meaning of G. S. 143-215.6A pursuant to G. S. 143-212(4). B. A permit for an animal waste management system is required by G.S. 143-215.1. C. The above -cited discharge to a ditch violated Condition No. I. 1. of the State General Permit. D. The above -cited failure to properly operate and maintain the land application equipment and fields violated Condition No. II, 1. of the State General Permit. 2 E. The above -cited failures to apply waste at land application rates in accordance with the CAWMP and to avoid excessive ponding or runoff violated Condition No. 11. 4. of the State General Permit. F. The above -cited failure of the Operator In Charge (or their surrogate) to inspect the land application site such that animal waste was applied in accordance with the CAWMP violated Condition No. IL 16. of the State General Permit. G. The above -cited failure to notify DWQ of a discharge violated Conditions No. III. 13 a, d, and e of the State General Permit. 1-1. Mr. Julian Nelms and Mr. Harvey L. Whitley, Jr. 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 that twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) per violation may be assessed against a person who is required but fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of a permit required by G. S. 143-215.1. I. The State's enforcement costs in this matter may be assessed against Mr. Julian Nelms and Mr. Harvey L. Whitley, Jr., pursuant to G. S. 143-215.3(a)(9) and G. S. 14313-282.1(b)(8). J. The Chief of the Aquifer Protection Section, 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 Facts and Conclusions of Law, I make the following: DECISION: Accordingly, Mr. Julian Nelms and Mr. Harvey L. Whitley, Jr., owners of N & W Pig Farms, are hereby assessed a civil penalty of: For violating Condition No. 1. 1. of the State General Permit for discharging hog waste to a ditch that drains to surface waters without the proper use of Best Management Practices and DWQ notification. $ For violating Condition No. II. 4. of the State General Permit by failing to apply waste at a rate in accordance with the CAWMP. The facility did not land apply such that excessive ponding or runoff was avoided. $ For violating Condition No. 11. 16. of the State General Permit by the Operator In Charge (or their surrogate) failing to inspect the land application site such that animal waste was applied per the CAWMP. $ For violating Conditions No. III. 13. a., d., and e. of the State General Permit by failing to report by telephone to the appropriate Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of: a) the occurrence of a discharge to ditches, surface waters, or wetlands; d) the occurrence of waste over -application, and e) the failure of the land application system that led to the discharge. $ 663.34 Enforcement costs $ TOTAL AMOUNT DUE 91 As required by G. S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have considered the factors listed in G.

(Date) Theodore L. Bush, Jr. Chief Aquifer Protection Section Division of Water Quality M Memorandum To: Keith Larick, Animal Feeding Operations Pennitting and Compliance Unit Supervisor Animal Feeding Operation Pennitting Compliance Unit Through: David May, Water Quality Supervisor Washington Regional Office From: Mark E. Newsome, Environmental Engineer I Washington Regional Office Subject: Enforcement Package N & W Pig Farms Permit No. AWS960046 Wayne County jo Date: April/ 2008 Introduction: N & W Pig Farms is owned and operated by Mr. Julian Nelms and Mr. Harvey L. Whitley, Jr..'['his facility, located on Highway I I I South in Wayne County, began operation in 1994. The facility has the capacity to raise 7,000 wean to feeder swine and the overall design for this facility is 210,000 steady state live weight. Report: On March 20, 2008 at 11:30 A.M., the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received an initial report of wastewater discharge to a drainage ditch from Mr. Martin McLawhorn, Environmental Specialist of the Division of Soil and Water Conservation. On March 20, 2008 Eric Newsome of the DWQ investigated and determined that hydraulic overload occurred on a 2.47-acre pull of a wheat field due to excessive spray irrigation. The extent of the overload caused wastewater to run onto two lower terraces northwest of the wheat field. According to facility records, the north lagoon (# I) was pumped down by 6" (approximately of 88,451 gallons) on March 18, 2008. According to Mr. Nelms, the north lagoon solely supplied wastewater for the above -described event. Visual evidence of ponding was consistent with the fact that applying 88,451 gallons would have exceeded the standard loading rate suggested by the Waste Utilization Plan for this field (35,810 gallons/acre vs. 27,154 gallons/acre). In addition, the March 20, 2008 DWQ investigation revealed that loose fittings in the irrigation supply line discharged wastewater from this line into a farm drainage ditch. Although the waste was recovered without it leaving the facility, it was estimated that 1,200 gallons of water were seen standing in the ditch prior to clean up efforts beginning. No telephonic notification was made to the Washington Regional Office within twenty-four (24) hours of becoming aware of the March 18, 2008 discharge; furthermore, no explanation was given by Mr. Nelms on March 20, 2008 as to how the overload and discharge occurred. Please find a table with the sample results below. The Finding and Decisions and Assessment Factors are attached for review. 5 Conclusion: Mr. Julian Nelms and Mr. Harvey L. Whitley, Jr., owners and operators of N & W Pig Fauns, are in violation of their permit and North Carolina General Statue 143-215.1(a) for discharging hog waste to surface waters and/or a ditch; failing to properly operate and maintain land application equipment and fields; failing to apply wastewater such that pending and runoff were avoided, and; failing to notify DWQ of the non compliance event. Recommendations: It is recommended that the appropriate civil penalties be assessed against this subject facility, N & W Pig Farms, located in Wayne County, owned and operated by Mr. Julian Nelms and Mr. Harvey L. Whitley, Jr. The Washington Regional Office recommends that penalties be assessed for the four violations described in the Conclusion. 2 DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY ANIMAL OPI?RATIONS ENFORCEMENT CASE REPORT ENFORCEMENT # NOV-2008-PC-0225 Section I: General Information l .

Farm and/or company compliance History: A database and file review indicates that no violations or penalties have been assessed against this farm in the past. 3. Amount of Waste discharged (if applicable). 1,200 gallons into a farm drainage ditch. Sample Results (if applicable) with locations of samples taken noted in relation to discharge point: One sample was taken of the ponded water on the eastern edge of the wheat field for nitrogen phosphorus analyses Lab results showed significant levels of ammonia (390 mg/L) total kjeldahl nitrogen (420 mg/L), and phosphorus (50 mg/L) present.

Violator's degree of cooperation (including efforts to prevent or restore) recalcitrance: Mr. Nelms and Mr. Whitley have been cooperative; efforts to clean up the discharged and ponded wastewater began during the March 20, 2008 investigation and were completed by March 24, 2008. 6. Damage? Y/N If yes, include report from WRC: No Mitigating Circumstances: None. Nowhere in the April 17, 2008 facility response to DWO do the resoondents deny that wastewater ponded in the subject wheat field; nor did the facility deny that the aluminum supply line discharged into the drainage ditch. In response to the facility's April 17, 2008 explanation of events the WaRO questions the following theories: ])For adjacent pulls on the same tract of the same Aycock soil type why weren't identical ruts seen in the investigation photo taken? What would have been the operator's reasoning for only irrigating one gull twice within a 72 hour erg 2) Although the facility response states that a trace amount of rainfall contributed to runoff following the nighttime application on 3/18 the DWQ investigation on 3/20/08 saw wastewater standing predominantly in the southeastern corner of the wheat tract, within the wetted diameter of theme Why wasn't wastewater seen in equal amounts in all directions surrounding the gun on an Aycock soil type listed in the Waste Utilization Plan as having a 0-PY0 slope? The WaRO contends that 2/10 of an inch of rain had a minimal impact on the result. 3) Alone the lines of item 2 ponded wastewater was seen along a terrace, approximately 340 feet west of what would be the north end of pull #4. Using a gun ring size of 0.96" and flowrate of 225gpm this distance could have been covered by improper operation. S. Recommendations made to the owner/operator: Mr. Nelms was advised on March 20, 2008 to do the following: 1) nump the wastewater from the drainage ditch into a tank and transfer the contents buck into the north lagoon (lagoon #1)• 2) Collect the ponded areas and pump this wastewater back into the north lagoon (lagoon #1) and• 3) Seal the "washout" drain on the northern edge of the wheat field with compacted soil or clay to prevent further runoff to the lower terraced fields. 9. Costs to the State for the enforcement procedures (Show Breakdown): Total Staff Time (14 hours) $ 392.75 Central Office $ 100.00 Travel Cost (118.6 miles x 2 @ 0.445) $ 105.54 Laboratory Cost $ 65.05 TOTAL $ 663.34 10. Recommendations for further DWQ Action: Continue to focus on facility records and field conditions during annual compliance inspections. 11. Other Comments: N/A Section III: Assessment Factors required to be considered by G.S. 14313-282.1(b): 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: Animal waste has the potential to deplete dissolved oxygen the affected water body to a point which is harmful to aquatic life. Waste water also contains nutrients which have the potential to spawn algal growth to the point which is harmful to aquatic life. Surface waters --the drainage ditch --did receive wastewater. 2. The duration and gravity of the violation: The violations occurred March 18 through March 20, 2008. 3. The effect on ground or surface quantity or quality: The two northwest (terraced) fields served as a vegetative filter, preventing wheat field runoff from entering the nearby Nahunta Swamp. The farm drainage ditch was sloped such that wastewater was contained onsite until water was removed. One waste sample was collected in an eastern area of the wheat field where ponding was observed. The results are illustrated in the following table: Sample Sampling Ammonia TKN Nitrates, Phosphorus, Location Date NH3 as N (mg/L) Nitrites P (mg/L) (mg/L) (NO,, NOD m /L East end of 3/20/2008 390 420 ND 50 wheat field (F-1) ND -Not Detected 4. The cost of rectifying the damage: The farm managers could have spent far fewer hours being preventative (monitoringthe he spray operations) than the time they spent cleaning up the area--48 to 72 hours Ruts created by the excessive irrigation and farm equipment have damaged part of the wheat crop. 5. The amount of money saved by noncompliance: Money is saved when better management skills are implemented to improve overall management of the facility, environmentally and productively. Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentional: Mr. Nelms and Mr. Whitley both have an active Type A operator's license. What is even more interesting is that the facility response fails to explicitly state who "the OIC" was onsite during the two alleged irrigation events on 3/15/08 and 3/18/08. Although it cannot be proven whether either of them was onsite during the event or events each is responsible for the consequence of the action. Therefore, it is the conclusion of the WaRO that either: a) the decision to let the active violation occur, b) the decision to leave someone in charge who was incapable of properly operating the system, or c) the decision to leave the spray Lin running unattended was willful The prior record of the violator(s) in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority: N & W Pit; Farms has not been cited for any permit violations prior to this event. 8.

Comments: Visual evidence from 3/20/08 visit(photos taken) supports notion that excess irrigation left the field and ran down into lower northwest fields --about 100 feet away. Also the spray gun was not stopped until approximately 1,200 gallons washed into the farm drainage ditch. According to freeboard records the servicing lagoon was lowered 3/18/08, this is approximately 88,451 gallons onto 2.5 acre pull (35,810 gallons/acre). No wastewater was found to have entered the Nahunta Swamp wetlands. 2008-03-31 08:29:32 2008-03-20 01:54:00 Report Created 03/31/08 07:34 PM Conveyance: Estimated Number of fish? 0 (Above Ground or Under Ground) Groundwater Impacted Due Date Unknown Comment Page 2 4 Incident Start Report Received Standard Agencies Notified: Agency Name Phone Other Agencies Notified: Agency Name Phone DWQ Information: Report Taken By: David L May 2008-03-20 11:30:00 2008-03-20 11:30:00 First Name M.I.

The purpose of this visit was to investigate allegations of hydraulic overload and ponding of wastewater surrounding an irrigation event. Driving along the dirt path toward Farms 1 &2, there was an irrigation reel fifty-two (52) feet ahead that was still attached to the hydrant. There was also an irrigation gun (still attached to said reel) sitting in the northeast wheat field (NEF) of the farm. There was one drainage ditch on either side of the farm path: the right-hand ditch ran along the southern edge of the NET, approximately five (5) feet from the reel; the left-hand ditch ran parallel to the right-hand ditch, along the opposite southeast wheat field (SEF). It could clearly be seen that the right-hand ditch (NEF) had a murky, dark colored appearance compared to the left-hand ditch; an odor of swine waste was also noticeable. The right hand ditch also held the metal supply line from the lagoon to the reel; this supply line was loose in several places when shaken by foot. Walking out into the NET along the irrigation pull, there were two sets of ruts, presumably dug out from the weight of the hauling tractor on the wet soil. There was ponded wastewater in both sets of ruts: The first pair was south of the gun, with each rut 1 foot wide, three inches deep, and thirty feet long (112 gallons). The second pair was north of the gun, with each rut 1 foot wide, two inches deep, and forty-eight feet long (120 gallons). At 2:20 pm, I met with owner Mr. Julian Nelms and two other gentlemen (Bob, and `Bob's Dad"). The three men began preparations to pump the right hand ditch into a plastic tote, which would then be emptied back into the original source lagoon. During this date, Mr. Nelms stated that the last irrigation event occurred 3/18/2008. At approximately 3:00 pm Mr. Will Hart of the APS arrived to assist with this investigation. First, Mr. Hart and Mr. Newsome walked the length of the right hand ditch to determine if any irrigation water might have escaped its boundaries. it was observed that after about 600 feet southwest of the gun, the ditch has a swale that would prevent water from running any further southwest. It was concluded that although this water needs to be pumped out, it was contained and could not run on its own across any other surfaces. A visual estimate of the water volume in this right hand ditch was 1,216 gallons. Second, Mr. Hart and Mr. Newsome walked to the northwest side of the NEF. Visual confirmation was made that wastewater did flow from the wheat field through a "washout" drain. However, the two contour terraces and stubble vegetation below the wheat field prevented flow of wastewater into the northwest tributary of the Nahunta Swamp. A visual estimate of the total volume of ponded wastewater on the two lower ridges was 325 gallons. r Field Notes from 3_20_08 N&W Farm Complaint 2 of Finally, while Mr. Hart took an analysis sample of ponded water from the NEF, Mr. Newsome reviewed the lagoon freeboard records. Lagoon #1 was lowered 6 inches (11,825 cu ft or 88,451 gallons) while Lagoon #2 was lowered 12 inches (23,650 cu ft or 176,902 gallons). A 3/24/08 follow-up visit to visually check the clean up efforts yielded positive results. There was no standing water seen: 1) in the right-hand ditch ran along the southern edge of the NEF; 2) in the rutted areas where the irrigation gun stood in the NEF or; 3) the two ponded areas on the contour terraces.

All activities authorized herein shall be consistent with the terms and conditions of this General Permit. Holders of Certificates of Coverage (COC) under this General Permit shall comply with the following specified conditions and limitations. 1. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS 0 Any discharge of waste that reaches surface waters or wetlands is prohibited except as otherwise provided in this General Permit and associated statutory and regulatory provisions. Waste shall not reach surface waters or wetlands by runoff, drift, manmade conveyance, direct application, UVO I ytb �Q direct discharge or through ditches not otherwise classified as state waters. ,fie J The waste collection, treatment, storage and application system operated under this General Permit shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non-discbarge system to prevent the discharge of pollutants to surface waters or wetlands. , Application of waste to terraces and grassed waterways is acceptable as long as it is applied in accordance with Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS) Standards and does not result in a discharge of waste to surface waters or wetlands. Facilities must be designed, constructed and operated to contain all waste plus the runoff from a 25-year, 24-hour rainfall event for the location of the facility. A facility that has a discharge'of waste that results because of a storm event moresevere than the 25-year, 24-hour storm will not be considered to be in violation of this General Permit if the facility is in compliance with its Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) and this General Permit. Any discharge or application of waste to a ditch that drains to surface waters or wetlands is prohibited except as follows: (a) discharges from the ditches are controlled by best management practices (BMPs) designed in accordance with NRCS standards; (b) the BMPs have been submitted to and approved by the Division of Water Quality (Division); (c) the BMPs were implemented as designed to prevent a discharge to surface waters or wetlands; (d) the waste was removed immediately from the ditch upon discovery; and (e) the event was documented and reported in accordance with Part M.13. of this General Permit. Nothing in this exception shall excuse a discharge to surface waters or wetlands except as may result because of rainfall from a storm event more severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm. 2. No discharge of waste shall result in a violation of the water quality standards established for the receiving waters as per Title 15A, Subchapter 2B, Section .0200 of the North Carolina Administrative Code and Title 15A, Subchapter 2L of the North Carolina Administrative Code. June 4, 2004 Permit Number AWG100000 3. The facility's COC and its CAWMP are hereby incorporated by reference into this General Permit. The CAWMP must be consistent with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances, and standards (federal, state and local) in effect at the time of siting, design and certification of the facility. The Pernvttee must assess, on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of the implementation of the CAWMP. The Permittee must make "major changes," "revisions," or "amendments" to the CAWMP, as defined in Section VII, "Definitions," of this Permit, in order to address any changes needed to maintain compliance with the facility's COC and this General Permit. "Major changes," "revisions," and "amendments" to the CAWMP must be documented, dated, and included as part of the CAWMP. "Major changes " and "revisions" to the CAWMP shall be submitted to the appropriate Division Regional Office within thirty (30) calendar days of the "major change" or "revision." "Amendments" are not required to be submitted to the Division Regional Office unless specifically requested by the Division. If field, riser or pull numbers are changed, an explanation shall also be submitted and include a description of how the new numbers relate to the old numbers. Any violation of the COC or the CAWMP shall be considered a violation of this General Permit and subject to enforcement actions. A violation of this General Permit may result in the Permittee having to take immediate or long-term corrective action(s) as required by the Division. These actions may include but are not limited to: modifying the CAWMP; ceasing land application of waste; removing animals from the facility; or the COC being reopened and modified, revoked and reissued, and/or terminated. 4. Any proposed increase or modification to the annual average design capacity from that authorized by the COC will require a modification to the CAWMP and the COC prior to modification of the facility. 5. During the period of this General Permit, the Division of Water Quality may notify the permittee to conduct an evaluation of the facility and its CAWMP to determine the facility's ability to comply with the NRCS nutrient management standard as it relates to phosphorous. The Division will make its decision as whether to notify permittees based on experience gained through the NPDES permit implementation. This evaluation will not be required until such time as the permittee is notified to conduct the evaluation by the Division of Water Quality. The evaluation must be documented on forms supplied by or approved by the Division and must be submitted to the Division. This evaluation must be completed by existing facilities within twelve (12) months of receiving notification from the Division. No COC will be issued to any new or expanding facility to operate under this General Permit until the applicant has completed and submitted a phosphorous loss assessment to determine if the new or expanding facility can comply with the NRCS phosphorous standards. This assessment shall not be a basis for denial of a COC to operate under this permit unless that demonstration of compliance is a Statutory requirement for COC issuance. 6. If prior approval is received from the Director of the Division of Water Quality (Director), facilities which have been issued a COC to operate under this General Permit may add treatment units for the purpose of removing pollutants before the waste is discharged into the lagoons/storage ponds. Prior to any approval, the Permittee must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Director that the new treatment unit will not interfere with the operation of the existing treatment system and that a process is in place to properly manage and track the pollutants removed. 2 June 4, 2004 Pertnit Number AWG100(100 7. If prior approval is received from the Director, facilities which have been issued a COC to operate under this General Permit may add innovative treatment processes to the systems on a pilot basis in order to determine if the innovative treatment process will improve how the waste is treated and/or managed. Prior to any approval, the Pertnittee must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Director that the innovative treatment process will not interfere with the operation of the existing treatment system and that a process is in place to properly manage and track the pollutants removed. 8. For all new and expanding operations, no collection, treatment or storage facilities may be constructed in a 100-year flood plain. 9. Animal waste shall not be applied within 100 feet of any well with the exception of monitoring wells. The allowable distance to monitoring wells shall be established on a case by case basis by the Division. 10. Existing swine dry lots may remain in wetlands as long as the wetlands uses are not removed or degraded as a result of the swine. The swine however may not be confined within 100 feet of an adjacent surface water or a seasonally -flooded area. The swine also must not cause a loss of more than 10% of the existing tree canopy. Where trees do not exist, the area must be managed to include crop rotation. II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS The collection, treatment, and storage facilities, and the land application equipment and fields v shall be properly operated and maintained at all times. 2. A vegetative cover shall be maintained as specified in the facility's CAWMP on all land application fields and buffers in accordance with the CAWMP. No waste shall be applied upon areas not included in the CAWMP. 3. Soil pH on all land application fields must be maintained in the optimum range for crop production. Land application rates shall be in accordance with the CAWMP. In no case shall land application rates exceed the agronomic rate of the nutrient of concern for the receiving crop. In no case shall land application rates result i cessive ponding or any runoff during any given application event. 5. Animal waste shall not be directly applied onto crops for direct human consumption that do not undergo further processing (e.g., strawberries, melons, lettuce, cabbage, apples, etc.) at any time during the growing season, or in the case of fruit bearing trees, following breaking dormancy. Application of animal wastes shall not occur within thirty (30) days of the harvesting of fiber and food crops for direct human consumption that undergoes further processing. 6. If manure or sludges are applied on conventionally tilled bare soil, the waste shall be incorporated into the soil within two (2) days after application on the land. This requirement does not apply to no -till fields, pastures, or fields where crops are actively growing. 7. Pesticides, toxic chemicals and petroleum products shall not be disposed of in the animal waste collection, treatment, storage or application systems. 3 June 4, 2004 Permit Number AWG100000 8. Domestic and/or industrial wastewater from showers, toilets, sinks, etc. shall not be discharged into the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and application system. Washdown of stock trailers owned by and used to transport animals to and from the facility only, will be permissible as long as the system has been evaluated and approved to accommodate the additional volume. Only those cleaning agents and soaps that are EPA approved according to their label, will not harm the cover crop, and will not contravene the groundwater standards listed in 15A NCAC 2L may be utilized in facilities covered by this General Permit. Instruction labels are to be followed when using cleaning agents and soaps. 9. Disposal of dead animals resulting from normal mortality rates associated with the facility shall be done in accordance with the facility's CAWMP and the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (NCDA&CS) Veterinary Division's Statutes and regulations. Disposal of dead animals whose numbers exceed normal mortality rates associated with the facility shall also be done in accordance with the facility's CAWMP and NCDA&CS Veterinary Division's Statutes and regulations provided that: 1) burial of such animals shall be done in consultation with the State Veterinarian of the NCDA&CS Veterinary Division's Statutes and in compliance with NCDA&CS regulations; 2) all such burial sites must be mapped, and the dates and numbers of the animals buried by type must be recorded; and 3) the map is submitted to the appropriate Regional Office Groundwater Section within 15 calendar days of burial. In the event of a state of emergency declared by the Governor, disposal of dead animals shall be done in accordance with requirements and guidelines dictated by the State Veterinarian according G.S. §106-339.4. The Division may require groundwater monitoring when there is massive burial of animals. All burial sites of such animals must be mapped, and the dates and numbers of the animals buried by type must be recorded. 10. Unless accounted for in temporary storage volume, all uncontaminated runoff from the surrounding property and buildings shall be diverted away from the waste lagoons/storage ponds to prevent any unnecessary addition to the liquid volume in the structures. 11. A protective vegetative cover shall be established and maintained on all earthen lagoon/storage pond embankments (outside toe of embankment to maximum pumping elevation), berms, pipe runs, and diversions to surface waters or wetlands. Trees, shrubs, and other woody vegetation shall not be allowed to grow on the lagoon/storage pond embankments. All trees shall be removed in accordance with good engineering practices. Lagoon/storage pond areas shall be accessible, and, vegetation shall be kept mowed. 12. At the time of sludge removal from a lagoon/storage pond, the sludge must be managed in accordance with the CAWMP. When removal of sludge from the lagoon is necessary, provisions must be taken to prevent damage to the lagoon dikes and liner. 13. Lagoons/storage ponds shall be kept free of foreign debris including, but not limited to, tires, bottles, light bulbs, gloves, syringes or any other solid waste. 14. The facility must have at least one of the following items at all times: (a) adequate animal waste application and handling equipment, (b) a lease, or other written agreement, for the use of the necessary equipment, or (c) a contract with a third party applicator capable of providing adequate waste application. 15. The Permittee shall designate a certified animal waste management system operator with a valid certification to be in charge of the animal waste management system. The waste management system shall be operated by the OIC or a person under the OIC's supervision. 4 June 4, 2004 Permit Number ANVG100000 16. In accordancewith 15A NCAC: 8r .0203(b)(2), the Operator i Charge (OIC _ r a designated back-up OIC of -a Type A Animal Waste Management ystem hall inspect, or a person un er the supervision of an OIC or designated back-up OIC shall ins ect, the land application site as often as necessary to insure that the animal waste is land applied in accordance with the CAWMP. In no case shall the time between inspections be more than 120 minutes during the application of waste. A record of each inspection shall be recorded on forms supplied by, or approved by, the Division and shall include the date, time, sprayfield number and name of the operator for each inspection. The Permittee may assert as an affirmative defense in any enforcement action alleging noncompliance with the requirements imposed in this condition that such noncompliance was due to circumstances beyond the Permittee's control. A notation shall be made on the form indicating the inspection affected by such circumstance and an explanation setting forth the circumstances claimed to have been beyond the Permittee's control shall be submitted with the form. 17. The Director may require any permittee to install, operate and maintain devices on all irrigation pumps/equipment designed to automatically stop irrigation activities during precipitation. ]'his decision will be based on the facility's compliance history for irrigation events. 18. The Director may require any permittee to install and operate flow meters with flow totalizers based on the facility's violations and/or incomplete or incorrect record keeping events. 19. No waste shall be applied in wind conditions that might reasonably be expected to cause the mist to reach surface waters or wetlands. 20. The Permittee shall maintain buffer strips or other equivalent practices as specified in the facility's CAWMP near feedlots, manure storage areas and land application areas. 21. Waste shall not be applied on land that is flooded, saturated with water, frozen or snow covered at the time of land application. 22. Land application of waste is prohibited during precipitation events.The Permittee shall consider pending weather conditions in making the decision to land apply waste and shall document the weather conditions at the time of land application on forms supplied by or approved by the Division. 23. Land application activities shall cease on any application site that exceeds a Mehlich 3 Soil Test Index for Copper of greater than 3,000 (108 pounds per acre) or Zinc of greater than 3,000 (213 pounds per acre). 24. All waste application equipment must be tested and calibrated once in the first two years after issuance of the COC and then at least once every two years thereafter. The results must be documented on forms provided by, or approved by, the Division. 25. Any major structural repairs to lagoons/storage ponds must have written documentation from a technical specialist certifying proper design and installation. However, if a piece of equipment is being replaced with a piece of equipment of the identical specifications, no technical specialist approval is necessary [i.e. piping, reels, valves, pumps (if the gallons per minute (gpm) capacity is not being increased or decreased), etc.] unless the replacement involves disturbing the lagoon/storage pond embankment. 26. Crops for which animal waste is land applied must be removed from the land application site and properly managed and utilized unless other management practices are approved in the CAWA4P. 5 June 4, 2004 Permit Number AWG100000 III. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS An inspection of the waste collection, treatment, and storage structures, and runoff control measures shall be conducted and documented at a frequency to insure proper operation but at least monthly and after all storm events of greater than one (1) inch in 24 hours. For example, lagoons/storage ponds, and other structures should be inspected for evidence of erosion, leakage, damage by animals or discharge. 2. Monitoring and Recording Freeboard Levels a. Highly visible waste -level gauges shall be maintained to mark the level of waste in each lagoon/storage pond that does not gravity feed through a free flowing transfer pipe into a subsequent structure. The gauge shall have readily visible permanent markings. The waste level in each lagoon with a waste level gauge shall be monitored and recorded weekly on forms supplied by or approved by the Division. The Director may require more frequent monitoring and recording on lagoon levels based on the facility's compliance history for freeboard violations. b. The freeboard levels of lagoons serving any facility which experiences freeboard violations in any two consecutive years following the issuance of this General Permit, or as determined necessary by the Director, shall be monitored and recorded as follows: In addition to the facility's existing lagoon waste -level gauges, automated lagoon/storage pond waste -level monitors and recorders (monitored and recorded at least hourly) must be installed on all treatment and storage lagoons covered by a COC issued under this General Permit to measure and record lagoon freeboard. This equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated in a manner consistent with manufacturer's operation and maintenance recommend This automated equipment must be in place no later than ninety (90) days following notification from the Director. The Director may determine that installation of automated waste level monitors is not required if the Permittee can demonstrate that preventative measures were taken to avoid the violations and that the violations resulted from conditions beyond the Permittee's control. If an automated level monitor(s) becomes inoperable, the Permittee shall: i. report the problem by telephone to the appropriate Division Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of the problem; and, ii. make any needed repairs to the equipment as quickly as possible, and take and record daily lagoon levels at the same time every day until such time as the automated equipment is placed back into operation. C. The Director may require new or modified waste -level gauges at any facility if he determines that the existing gauges are not adequate to accurately indicate actual lagoon levels, or the various lagoon levels required to be maintained by this General Permit or the facility's CAWMP. 3. Monitoring and Recording Precipitation Events a. Precipitation events at facilities issued a COC to operate under this General Permit shall be monitored and recorded as follows: 6 June 4, 2004 Permit Number AWGI00000 A rain gauge must be installed at a site that is representative of the weather conditions at the farm's land application site(s) to measure all precipitation events.

The maximum waste level in lagoons/storage ponds shall not exceed that specified in the facility's CAWMP. At a rrinirnum, maximum waste level for lagoons/storage ponds must not exceed the level that provides adequate storage to contain the 25-year, 24-hour storm event plus an additional one (1) foot of structural freeboard except that there shall be no violation of this condition if: (a) there is a 'storni event more severe than a 25-year, 24-hour event, (b) the Permittee is in compliance with its CAWMP, and (c) there is at least one (1) foot of structural freeboard. In addition to the above requirements, for new and expanding farms with lagoon and storage pond designs completed after September 1, 1996, storage must also be provided for the heavy rainfall factor for the lagoons/storage pond. In case of lagoons/storage ponds in series that are gravity fed, the 25-year, 24-hour storm event and/or the heavy rainfall factor storage requirement for the system may be designed into the lowest lagoon/storage pond in the system. However. adequate freeboard must be designed into the upper lagoons/storage ponds to allow sufficient storage to prevent the waste level from rising into the structural freeboard while the storm water is draining into the lowest lagoon in the system. 3. Any containment basin, such as a lagoon or a storage pond, used for waste management shall continue to be subject to the conditions and requirements of this General Permit until properly closed. When the containment basin is properly closed in accordance with the "Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) North Carolina Standard for Closure of Waste Impoundments," March 2002 or any subsequent amendment, the containment basin shall not be subject to the requirements of this General Permit. The Permittee must submit a letter to the Division to request rescission of the COC by providing documentation of closure of all containment basins. Closure shall also include a minimum of 24 hours pre -notification of the Division and submittal of the Animal Waste Storage Pond and Lagoon Closure Report Form to the address identified on the form within fifteen (15) days of completion of closure. 4. This General Permit allows for the distribution of up to four cubic yards of manure per visit to individuals for personal use. The Permittee provide the recipient(s) with information on the nutrient content of the manure. Distribution of greater quantities must be to individuals or businesses permitted to distribute the waste, or to be land applied to sites identified in the Pernuttee's CAWMP. 5. The Permittee must inform the recipient(s) of his/her responsibilities to properly manage the land application of manure. Record keeping for the distribution of manure up to four (4) cubic yards per visit to individuals for personal use is not required. 6. The annual permit fee shall be paid by the Permittee within thirty (30) days after being billed by the Division. Failure to pay the fee accordingly constitutes grounds for revocation of its COC to operate under this General Permit. 7. Failure of the Permittee to maintain, in full force and effect, lessee and landowner agreements, which are required in the CAWMP, shall constitute grounds for revocation of its COC to operate under this General Permit. 8. A COC to operate under this General Permit is not transferable. In the event there is a desire for the facility to change ownership, or there is a name change of the Permittee, a Notification of Change of Ownership form must be submitted to the Division, including documentation from the parties involved and other supporting materials as may be appropriate. This request will be considered on its merits and may or may not be approved. 11 June 4,2004 Permit Number AWG100000 9. A COC to operate under this General Permit is effective only with respect to the nature and volume of wastes described in the application and other supporting data. The Permittee shall notify the Division immediately of any applicable information not provided in the permit application. 10. If the Permittee wishes to continue an activity regulated by this General Permit after the expiration date of this General Permit, the Pernttee must apply for and obtain a new COC. Renewal applications must be filed at least 180 days prior to the expiration of the General Permit. 11. The issuance of a COG to operate under this General Permit does not prohibit the Division from reopening and modifying the General Permit or COC, revoking and reissuing the General Permit or COC, or terminating the General Permit or COC as allowed by the appropriate laws, rules, and regulations. 12. The Director may require any person, otherwise eligible for coverage under this General Permit, to apply for an individual permit by notifying that person that an application is required. 13. The Groundwater Compliance Boundary is established by 15A NCAC 2L and 15A NCAC 2H .0225. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to the requirements of 15A NCAC 2L and the Division in addition to the penalty provisions applicable under the North Carolina General Statutes. VI. PENALTIES Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this General Permit; the facility's COC; the facility's CAWMP; and/or applicable state law; may subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division including but not limited to the modification of the animal waste management system, civil penalties, criminal penalties and injunctive relief. 2. The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this General Permit. Any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of state law and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit coverage termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit coverage renewal application. 3. It shall not be a defense for a Permittee in an enforcement action to claim that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the conditions of this General Permit. VII. DEFINITIONS 25-year, 24-hour rainfall or storm event means the maximum 24-hour precipitation event with a probable recurrence interval of once in 25 years, as defined by the National Weather Service in Technical Paper Number 40, "Rainfall Frequency Atlas of the United States," May 1961, and subsequent amendments, or equivalent regional or state rainfall probability information developed therefrom. Agronomic rates means the amount of animal waste and/or other nutrient sources to be land applied to lands as contained in the nutrient management standard of the USDA Soil Conservation Service Technical Guide Section IV or as recommended by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service at the time of certification of the Animal Waste Management Plan by the appropriate technical specialist. . 12 June 4, 2004 Permit Number AWG100000 Amendment to the CAWMP means a change and/or addition to a part(s) of the plan, and requires that the change and/or addition adhere to current applicable standards. The following are examples of amendments to the CAWMP: • In an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes 25% or less of the N generated is considered a plan amendment. Additional acreage needed to facilitate the change in crops and/or cropping pattern is permissible and considered part of the amendment. • The addition of winter crops and/or interseeded perennial crops are considered amendments to an existing CAWMP when the operation does not require additional acreage and/or crops for N utilization, and does not exceed the 25% criteria stated above. • When a CAWMP cannot meet N utilization requirements due to land lost to irrigation inefficiency (useable versus total acres), then the CAWMP may be amended to increase available acreage and/or change the crop for N utilization. This is the only exception to the 25% N criteria for plan revision. • Inclusions of emergency action plans, and insect, odor and mortality checklists are considered CAWMP amendments. • Including additional acreage for land application beyond what is required in the existing CAWMP is considered a plan amendment. Animal feeding operation means a lot or facility (other than an aquatic animal production facility) where the following conditions are met: (i) animals (other than aquatic animals) have been, are, or will be stabled or confined and fed or maintained for a total of forty five (45) days or more in any twelve (12) month period, and (ii) crops, vegetation, forage growth, or post -harvest residues are not sustained in the normal growing season.over any portion of the lot or facility. Two or more animal feeding operations under common ownership are considered to be a single animal feeding operation if they adjoin each other, or if they use a conunon area or system for the disposal of wastes. Ditch means any man made channel for the purpose of moving water off a site to the surface waters. Excessive Ponding means any area of the application field where visible liquid waste is ponded on the surface of the land application site more than four (4) hours following the application of waste. Excessive ponding also means any areas where the ponding of waste has resulted in crop failure. Groundwaters means any subsurface waters, as defined in 15A NCAC 2L .0102. Land application means the application of wastewater and/or waste solids onto or incorporation into the soil. Major changes to the CAWMP means changes in the number of animals, type of operation (feeder to finish'to wean to feeder), retrofit of a lagoon, installation of a new irrigation system, and similar type changes. Recertification is only required for major changes to the CAWMP. Major changes to a facility must first be approved by DWQ. The new CAWMP and the certification shall be submitted with a request that the COC be amended to reflect the changes. The facility may not make the changes until a new or amended COC has been issued. 13 June 4, 2004 Permit Number AWG100000 Revision to the CAWMP means a change to an entire CAWMP to meet current applicable standards. A CAWMP must be revised if the operation cannot utilize all N nitrogen generated by the animal production in accordance with the existing CAWMP, except for the specific conditions noted in the CAWMP amendment criteria as previously defined. For an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes more than 25% of the N generated by the operation is considered a plan revision. Any change to an existing CAWMP, whether an amendment or revision, must be signed and dated by both the producer and a technical specialist for the new CAWMP to be valid. A revision of the CAWMP does not require recertification. State Waters means all surface waters, wetlands, groundwaters and waters of the United States located in the State. Surface Waters means any stream, river, brook, swamp, lake, sound, tidal estuary, bay, creek, reservoir, waterway, or other surface body or surface accumulation of water, whether public or private, or natural or artificial, that is contained in, flows through, or borders upon any portion of the State of North Carolina, including any portion of the Atlantic Ocean over which the State has jurisdiction as well as any additional Waters of the United States which are located in the State. Waste means manure, animal waste, process wastewater and/or sludge generated at an animal feeding operation. Wetlands means areas that are inundated or saturated by an accumulation of surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances do support a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions, as defined in 15A NCAC 2B .0202.

Holders of Certificates of Coverage (COC) under this General Permit shall comply with the following specified conditions and limitations. I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS 1. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface waters or wetlands is prohibited except as otherwise provided in this General Permit and associated statutory and regulatory provisions. Waste shall not reach surface waters or wetlands by runoff, drift, manmade conveyance, direct application, direct discharge or through ditches not otherwise classified as state waters. The waste collection, treatment, storage and application system operated under this General Permit shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent the discharge of pollutants to surface waters or wetlands. Application of waste to ten -aces and grassed waterways is acceptable as long as it is applied in accordance with Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Standards and does not result in a discharge of waste to surface waters or wetlands. Facilities must be designed, constructed and operated to contain all waste plus the runoff from a 25-year, 24-hour rainfall event for the location of the facility. A facility that has a discharge of waste that results because of a storm event more severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm will not be considered to be in violation of this General Permit if the facility is in compliance with its Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) and this General Permit. Any discharge or application of waste to a ditch that drains to surface waters or wetlands is prohibited except as follows: (a) discharges from the ditches are controlled by best management practices (BMPs) designed in accordance with NRCS standards; (b) the BMPs have been submitted to and approved by the Division of Water Quality (Division); (c) the BMPs were implemented as designed to prevent a discharge to surface waters or wetlands; (d) the waste was removed immediately from the ditch upon discovery; and (e) the event was documented and reported in accordance with Part II1.13. of this General Permit. Nothing in this exception shall excuse a discharge to surface waters or wetlands except as may result because of rainfall from a storm event more severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm. 2. No discharge of waste shall result in a violation of the water quality standards established for the receiving waters as per Title 15A, Subchapter 2B, Section .0200 of the North Carolina Administrative Code and Title 15A, Subchapter 2L of the North Carolina Administrative Code. June 4,2004 Permit Number AWG100000 3. The facility's COC and its CAWMP are hereby incorporated by reference into this General Permit. The CAWMP must be consistent with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances, and standards (federal, state and local) in effect at the time of siting, design and certification of the facility. The Permittee must assess, on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of the implementation of the CAWMP. The Permittee must make "major changes," "revisions," or "amendments" to the CAWMP, as defined in Section VII, "Definitions," of this Permit, in order to address any changes needed to maintain compliance with the facility's COC and this General Permit. "Major changes," "revisions," and "amendments" to the CAWMP must be documented, dated, and included as part of the CAWMP. "Major changes " and "revisions" to the CAWMP shall be submitted to the appropriate Division Regional Office within thirty (30) calendar days of the "major change" or "revision." "Amendments" are not required to be submitted to the Division Regional Office unless specifically requested by the Division. If field, riser or pull numbers are changed, an explanation shall also be submitted and include a description of how the new numbers relate to the old numbers.

The Director may require any person, otherwise eligible for coverage under this General Permit, to apply for an individual permit by notifying that person that an application is required. 13. The Groundwater Compliance Boundary is established by 15A NCAC 2L and 15A NCAC 2H .0225. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to the requirements of 15A NCAC 2L and the Division in addition to the penalty provisions applicable under the North Carolina General Statutes. VI. PENALTIES Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this General Permit; the facility's COC; the facility's CAWMP; and/or applicable state law; may subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division including but not limited to the modification of the animal waste management system, civil penalties, criminal penalties and injunctive relief. 2. The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this General Permit. Any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of state law and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit coverage termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit coverage renewal application. 3. It shall not be a defense for a Permittee in an enforcement action to claim that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the conditions of this General Pernut. VII. DEFINITIONS 25-year, 24-hour rainfall or storm event means the maximum 24-hour precipitation event with a probable recurrence interval of once in 25 years, as defined by the National Weather Service in Technical Paper Number 40, "Rainfall Frequency Atlas of the United States," May 1961, and subsequent amendments, or equivalent regional or state rainfall probability information developed therefrom. Agronomic rates means the amount of animal waste and/or other nutrient sources to be land applied to lands as contained in the nutrient management standard of the USDA Soil Conservation Service Technical Guide Section IV or as recommended by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service at the time of certification of the Animal Waste Management Plan by the appropriate technical specialist. 12 June 4, 2004 Permit Number AWG100000 Amendment to the CAWMP means a change and/or addition to a part(s) of the plan, and requires that the change and/or addition adhere to current applicable standards. The following are examples of amendments to the CAWMP: • In an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes 25% or less of the N generated is considered a plan amendment. Additional acreage needed to facilitate the change in crops and/or cropping pattern is permissible and considered part of the amendment. • The addition of winter crops and/or interseeded perennial crops are considered amendments to an existing CAWMP when the operation does not require additional acreage and/or crops for N utilization, and does not exceed the 25% criteria stated above. • When a CAWMP cannot meet N utilization requirements due to land lost to irrigation inefficiency (useable versus total acres), then the CAWMP may be amended to increase available acreage and/or change the crop for N utilization. This is the only exception to the 25% N criteria for plan revision. • Inclusions of emergency action plans, and insect, odor and mortality checklists are considered CAWMP amendments. • Including additional acreage for land application beyond what is required in the existing CAWMP is considered a plan amendment. Animal feeding operation means a lot or facility (other than an aquatic animal production facility) where the following conditions are met: (i) animals (other than aquatic animals) have been, are, or will be stabled or confined and fed or maintained for a total of forty five (45) days or more in any twelve (12) month period, and (ii) crops, vegetation, forage growth, or post -harvest residues are not sustained in the normal growing season over any portion of the lot or facility. Two or more animal feeding operations under common ownership are considered to be a single animal feeding operation if they adjoin each other, or if they use a common area or system for the disposal of wastes. Ditch means any man made channel for the purpose of moving water off a site to the surface waters Excessive Ponding means any area of the application field where visible liquid waste is ponded on the surface of the land application site more than four (4) hours following the application of waste. Excessive ponding also means any areas where the ponding of waste has resulted in crop failure. Groundwaters means any subsurface waters, as defined in 15A NCAC 2L .0102. Land application means the application of wastewater and/or waste solids onto or incorporation into tite soil. Major changes to the CAWMP means changes in the number of animals, type of operation (feeder to finish to wean to feeder), retrofit of a lagoon, installation of a new irrigation system, and similar type changes. Recertification is only required for major changes to the CAWMP. Major changes to a facility must first be approved by DWQ. The new CAWMP and the certification shall be submitted with a request that the COC be amended to reflect the changes. The facility may not make the changes until a new or amended COC has been issued. 13 June 4, 2004 Permit Number AWG100000 Revision to the CAWMP means a change to an entire CAWMP to meet current applicable standards. A CAWMP must be revised if the operation cannot utilize all N nitrogen generated by the animal production in accordance with the existing CAWMP, except for the specific conditions noted in the CAWMP amendment criteria as previously defined. For an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes more than 25% of the N generated by the operation is considered a plan revision. Any change to an existing CAWMP, whether an amendment or revision, must be signed and dated by both the producer and a technical specialist for the new CAWMP to be valid. A revision of the CAWMP does not require recertification. State Waters means all surface waters, wetlands, groundwaters and waters of the United States located in the State. Surface Waters means any stream, river, brook, swamp, lake, sound, tidal estuary, bay, creek, reservoir, waterway, or other surface body or surface accumulation of water, whether public or private, or natural or artificial, that is contained in, flows through, or borders upon any portion of the State of North Carolina, including any portion of the Atlantic Ocean over which the State has jurisdiction as well as any additional Waters of the United States which are located in the State. Waste means manure, animal waste, process wastewater and/or sludge generated at an animal feeding operation. Wetlands means areas that are inundated or saturated by an accumulation of surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances do support a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions, as defined in 15A NCAC 2B .0202. This General Permit issued the 1 Ith day of June, 2004. NORTH CAROLINA ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT COMMISSION 41-!/\ I _ U� , Director Alan W. Klimek, P.E. North Carolina Division of Water Quality By Authority of the Environmental Management Commission Permit Number AWG100000 14 June 4, 2004 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Goldsboro Hog Farms, Inc. t� Monday, March 13, 2000 Producer: Julian Nelms/ H.L. Whitley,Jr. Farm Name: NaW Pigs 601 East Main Street Fremont,NC 27830 Telephone # : (919) 242-6327 Type of Operation : Wean to Feeder Swine Number of Animals : 7000 pigs design capacity Application Method: Irrigation The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient contents of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and avaialable 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 requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for ananlysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. Page 1 of 1 AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 7000 pigs X 0.4 tons waste/pigs/year =.2800 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 7000 pigs X 0.48 Ibs PAN/pigs/year = 3360 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 suface application.

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 nurturient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 532 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. See the attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water. 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. Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 5.92 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be within 1.58 feet of the top of the dike. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsiblity of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

Page 7 of 7 PLANS & 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. Illegal discharges are subject to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Water Quality 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 to properly dispose of 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 with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/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. Animal 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 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" in the NRCS Technical Reference - Environment file 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 conditions conducive to odor or flies and to 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 the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. 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 a crop on bare soil. 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 Page 8 of 8 and from any perennial stream or river (other that 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 landownwer. 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 discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted croplands 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, except when applied at agronomic rates and the application 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.). 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. *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 as a preemergence with no other 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 fpr 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 amd maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. Page 9 of 9 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina Department of Agriculture regulations. * Liquid Systems •---- .

E., Director Division of Water Quality Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. AWS960046 N & W Pig Farms Swine Waste Collection, Treatment, Storage and Application System Wayne County Dear Julian Nelms & H.L. Whitley, Jr.: On April 28, 2003, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs.the Division of -Water Quality (Division) to extend the expiration date of the Swine Waste Operation General Permit AWG100000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit. In accordance with your application received on February 11, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Julian Nelms & H.L. Whitley, Jr., authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS960046 which expired on April 30, 2003. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the N & W Pig Farms , located in Wayne County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 7000 Wean to Feeder swine and the application to land as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 1, 2004. Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information 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. 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 anew Waste Utilization Plan developed. The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to gate under this permit convey anv property rights in either real or personal property.

It is strongly recommended that you, ycur concractor, and Soil Conservation Service personnel are in agreement as *co how the wa'ste lagoon is to be constructed. The Soil Conservation Service personnel will meet with all concerned parties and walk over the lice to explain all flags and markings. It is important that everyone understand what is expected so that final construction meets plans and specification and the Job can be certified for payment (if cost -sharing is involved). The pad dimensions and grades are the best estimate. The BUILDER or CONTRACTOR is RESPONSIBLE for final layout and design of the pads. The Soil Conservation Service personnel will assist in a limited capacity, as ics major concern is the proper design and construction of the waste treatment lagoon. The -actual amount of material required for pads and dam may vary from the estimates. The design.will attempt to balance cuts and fills as close as possible. If additional material is required after construction is complete on the lagoon, the concractor and owner will negotiate an the price and locacien of borrow area. .

DESIGNED BY: rYG��� Qj • APPROVED BY: DATE: 5-23-q� DATE: ,S1-23�qj� NOTE: SEE ATTACHED WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN COMMENTS: • SHEET 1 OF 2 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and 180 days of temporary storage. The time required for the planned fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary due to site conditions, weather, 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 40.8 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump - out when the fluid level reaches elevation 38.8 . This temporary storage, less 25 yr- 24 hr storm, contains 40407.4 cubic feet or 302247.1 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. SHEET 1 OF 2 SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS ---------------------------------------------------------- FOUNDATION PREPARATION: ----------------------- The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be cleared of trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush, boulders,sod and rubbish. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoil from the lagoon and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior to placing the first lift of fill material to get a good bond. EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT: ----------------------------------- The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines, grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall be free of detrimental amounts of 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 layers not to exceed 9 inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading equipment or standard tamping roller or other equivalent method. Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectible. NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials from the required excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 10 percent for settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height and with an impoundment capacity of 10 acre-feet or more fall under the jurisdiction of the NC Dam Safety Law. The height is defined as the difference in elevation from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike. Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.6 ft. -------------------------------------- ---------------- NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATE OR WHEN AREAS AS DESCRIBED BELOW ARE ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE SOILS REPORT. When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be over - excavated below finish grade to the specified depth as measured perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall be backfilled as specified to grade with a SCS approved material (ie - 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. Water shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture content during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner material shall not be less than optimum water content during placement. The maximum water content relates to the soil material being too wet for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Proper compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum ASTM D698 Dry Unit Weight of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous lift shall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement of the next lift. The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted perme- ability of a clay liner, other than the type of clay used for the liner, is the efficient construction processing of the compacted liner. The sequence of equipment use and the routing of equipment .in an estab- lished pattern helps assure uniformity in the whole placement and compaction process. For most clay soils, a tamping or sheepsfoot roller is the preferable type of compaction equipment. The soil liner shall be protected from the discharge of waste outlet pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator(rocks) or using flexible outlets on waste pipes. Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant. When these are specified, additional construction specifications are included with this Construction Specification. CUTOFF TRENCH: -------------- ir /',-���.�� 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. SCS-ENG-578 U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Rev. S-78 SOIL CONSERVATION SERVICE .

The plan is based on the soil types, crops to be grown, and method of application for your particular operation. The waste must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or ground water. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates and leaching potential. Waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils or on land when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters. 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 not more than 30 days prior to planting. Soil incorporation of waste will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. Page 2 • The acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Annual acreage requirements may be more or less based on the waste analysis report for your waste management facility.

Main Street Fremont NC 27830 Telephone: 919-242-6327 Type Operation: Existing Wean to Feeder Swine Number of Animals: 7000.00 pigs (Design Capacity) STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon APPLICATION METHOD: Irrigation The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding 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. Page: 1 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and. reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow 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 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 7000 pigs x .40 tons waste/pigs/year = 2800 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 7000 pigs x .48 lbs PAN/pigs/year = 3360 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.

Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 532 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 2660 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per.acre, you will need 8.86666666667 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 21.28 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and Page: 7 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN amounts'of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 532 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 2660 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 8.86666666667 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 21.28 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and Page: )f 21 . ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN amounts'of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

WHERE CORN IS PLANTED AFTER SOYBEANS, THE SOYBEAN RESIDUE IS CREDITED WITH 20 POUNDS CARRY OVER OF NITROGEN. PRODUCER HAS MULTIPLE WASTE PLANS TO REFLECT NITROGEN NEEDS WHEN CROPS ARE ROTATED. Page: U 24 • WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip) 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: 3M 25 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REOUIRED 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: 12 26 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 waters 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 can happen at any time. 1) Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested responses to problems are listed below: a) Lagoon overflow: • add soil to the berm to increase the elevation of the dam • pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate • stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waterers) • call a pumping contractor • make sure no surface water is entering the lagoon Note: These activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the temporary storage level. b) Runoff from waste application field: • immediately stop waste application • create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field • incorporate waste to reduce further runoff c) Leaking from the waste distribution system- . • pipes and sprinklers: © stop recycle (flushing system) pump a stop irrigation pump 3 close valves to eliminate further discharge ® separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow • flush system, houses, solids- Separators: © stop recycle (flushing system) pump ® stop irrigation pump OO make sure no siphon effect has been created (D separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow d) Leakage from base or sidewall of the lagoon. Often these are seepage as opposed to flowing leaks: • dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back into the lagoon. ® if holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil. 46 other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil. Note: For permanent repair measures, lagoon problems require the consultation of an individual experienced in their design and installation. 2) Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages. a) Did the waste reach any surface waters? b) Approximately how much was released and for what duration? c) Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage? 3) Contact appropriate agencies. a) During normal business hours, call your DWQ regional office: (919) 946-6481 ; after hours, emergency number: (919) 733-3942. Your phone call should include: your name, facility, telephone number, the details of the incident, the exact location of the facility, and the location or direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind conditions, what corrective measures have been taken, and the seriousness of the situation. b) If the spill leaves the property or enters surface waters, call the local EMS: 731-1413. c) ` Instruct EMS to contact the local Health Department: 731-1174 d) Contact CES: 731-1520 local NRCS office: 731-1532 and your integrator: _ 4) Implement procedures as advised by DWQ and technical assistance agencies to rectify the damage, repair the system, and reassess the waste management plan to keep problems with release of wastes from happening again. 5) Contact contract pumping and/or irrigation equipment companies: a) ff c) 6) Contact dirt moving and/or heavy equipment companies: a) Wilson Brothers 919-778-1580 b) c) Insect Control Checklist for Animal Operations Source Cause IIMPs to Control Insects Site Specific Practices Flush Gutters • Accumulation of solids (0 Flush system is designed and operated sufficiently to remove accumulated solids from gutters as designed.

It is strongly recommended that you, your contractor, and Soil Conservation Service personnel are in agreement as 'to-hcw the waste lagoon is to be constructed. The Soil Conservation Service personnel will meet with all concerned parties and walk over the site to explain all flags and markings. It is important that everyone understand what is expected so that final construction meets plans and specification and the job can be certified for payment OF cost -sharing is involved). The pad dimensions and grades are the best estimate. The BUILDER or CONTRACTOR is RESPONSIBLE for final layout and design of the pads. The Soil Conservation Service personnel will assist in a limited capacity, as .its major concern is the proper design and construction of the waste treatment lagoon. The actual amount of material required for pads and dam may vary from the estimates. The design.will attempt to balance cuts and fills as close as possible. If additional material is required after construction is complete on the lagoon, the contractor and owner will negotiate an the price and location of borrow area. .

DESIGNED BY:ftrR�L�+61A,,APPROVED BY: DATE: S' Z3 9 � DATE: NOTE: SEE ATTACHED WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN COMMENTS: SHEET 1 OF 2 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN ------------------------------ This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and 180 days of temporary storage. The time required for the planned fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary due to site conditions, weather, 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 39.8 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump - out when the fluid level reaches elevation 37.8 . This temporary storage, less 25 yr- 24 hr storm, contains 40407.4 cubic feet or 302247.1 gallons. 2 SHEET 2 OF 2 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 inch per hour. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details. 5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. 6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and establish in vegetation. 7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets. 8. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ- mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law. SHEET 1 OF 2 SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS ---------------------------------------------------------- FOUNDATION PREPARATION: ----------------------- The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be cleared of trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush, boulders,sod and rubbish. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoil from the lagoon and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior to placing the first lift of fill material to get a good bond. EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT: ----------------------------------- The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines, grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall be free of detrimental amounts of 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 layers not to exceed 9 inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading equipment or standard tamping roller or other equivalent method. Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectible. NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials from the required excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 10 percent for settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height and with an impoundment capacity of 10 acre-feet or more fall under the jurisdiction of the NC Dam Safety Law. The height is defined as the difference in elevation from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike. Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.6 ft. NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATE OR WHEN AREAS AS DESCRIBED BELOW ARE ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE SOILS REPORT. When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be over - excavated below finish grade to the specified depth as measured perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall be backfilled as specified to grade with a SCS approved material (ie - CL,SC,CH). REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN THE PLANS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS.

The plan is based on the soil types, crops to be grown, and method of application for your particular operation. The waste must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or ground water. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates and leaching potential. Waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils or on land when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters. 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 not more than 30 days prior to planting. Soil incorporation of waste will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. Page 2 The acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Annual acreage requirements may be more or less based on the waste analysis report for your waste management facility.

Additional information is required before we can continue our review. Please address the following by December 2, 1999: Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) lists the cropping options of cotton, corn and wheat and soybeans. If you were to choose to grow only cotton in one year, this would give you plenty of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) uptake but you would only have two months out of the year to irrigate from your lagoon. This would not work with the 180 days storage in your lagoon. While it seems unlikely that only cotton would be grown in one year, it is an option. Please contact your technical specialist and have a statement added to the narrative of your WUP that estimates the percentage of acres that will be in cotton in any given year. Please also ensure that this percentage will allow for enough months of irrigation from the lagoon. Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist. Please reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. All information should be signed, sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below. The information requested by this letter must be submitted on or before December 2, 1999 or the Division will return your application as incomplete in accordance with 15A N.C.A.C. 2H .0200 and your facility will be considered to be operating without a permit. Please be advised that operation of the subject animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and will subject you to the enforcement authority of the Environmental Management Commission. If you have any questions regarding this request, please call meat (919) 733-5083, extension 364. Sincerely, Dianne Thomas Soil Scientist Non -Discharge Permitting Unit cc: Washington.

Whitley, Jr.: 1 • NCDENR NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES December 30, 1999 ' --- F JAN 1 1 2000 —J WASHINGTON REGIONAL OFFICE �04Y0 Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping Animal Waste Management System Facility Number 96-46 Wayne County This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers. Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRR1, IRR2, DRYI, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2, SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an appropriate enforcement action. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting requirement. If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the DWQ staff at (919) 733-5083 ext. 571. cc: Washington Regional Office Wayne County Soil and Water Conservation District Facility File Sincerely Kerr T.
