Dear Jon Risgaard:
Enclosed please find the requested information for Next Generation Family Ventures, LLC Farms
1, 2, and 3. The past two years sludge surveys were performed by Mr. Billy Houston from Duplin
County. There have been no operational changes on the three facilities.
Additionally, Next Generation Family Ventures has secured a new record keeping contract with
Mr. Curtis Barwick of Barwick's Ag Services from Clinton, North Carolina.
We have requested that Mr. Barwick perform new calibrations on all of our equipment, as well
as a new sludge survey. New waste sampling and soil sampling will also be performed.
Page 1 of 2

We feel that we have provided all the requested information. However, if any additional
information is needed please contact us immediately.
Yours truly,
Nicholas Edwards

' tppendix 3. Worksheet for studge volume and treatment volume Revised August 2008
The average thickness of the sludge layer and the thickness of the enlisting Liquid (sludge -free) treatment zone are determined
�m the Information on the Lagoon Sludge Survey Forth ( Items O and P. respectively). In this example, the average sludge
.yer thickness is 2,5 feet and the existing Liquid treatment zone is 3.5 feet If the lagoon has a designed sludge storage volume,
see notes at end of the worksheet The dimensions of the lagoon as measured and the side slope are needed
for calculations of sludge volume and of total treatrnent volume. If the lagoon is a standard geometric shape, the sludge
volume and the treatment volume In the Yagocn can be estimated by using standard equations. For approximate volumes
of rectangular lagoons with constant side slope, calculate length and width at the midpoint of the layer, and multiply by layer
thickness to calculate layer volume. as shown In the example. For hegular shapes. convert the total surface area to a square
or rectangular shape. For exact volumes for lagoons with constant side slope, the'Pdsmoidal Equations' may be used.

Of sludge (Vs) (Item 8) and from the volume of total treatment zone (Vz) (Rem 14), and take the ratio.
Then, R = (Vs-DSSV) f (Vz- DSSV)
