Dear Jonathan Quinn:
ROY COOPER

MICHAEL S. REGAN
Secretary
LiNDA CULPEPPER
Interim Director
Thank you for your cooperation in the Division's lagoon waste sampling efforts on April 13, 2018. On that
day seven teams of Division staff sampled 35 farms and a total of 55 waste lagoons. Multiple teams were
necessary to assure that teams followed proper biosecurity protocols to protect your animals. I apologize
for the short notice that was provided to you by our staff. It was our intent to do the sampling as efficiently
and effectively as possible with as little disruption to you and other operators. Staff notified you as soon
as possible once we were comfortable that weather would cooperate and we had staff prepared to complete
the desired sampling on a single day. Complete results of the sampling are available on the NCDA&CS
Agronomic Services Division PALS website and can be accessed there at your convenience.
http://www.ncagr.gov/agronomi/pals/
The Division submitted the samples to the lab on April 13, and the standard waste analysis was performed
the following week The certified results are available to use for loading rate calculations in you waste
application records. Our staff followed sampling protocol established by NCDA&CS Agronomic Sampling
Folder No. 6, revised April 2014, a copy of which is included with this letter. You may at any time resample
your lagoons to establish updated results if you feel more representative sample is desired for future
application events.
One of the intents of the sampling effort was to look at observed changes in lagoon sampling results in a
relatively short period of time. Our records show that a previous sampling event took place on March 17,
2018. Results of the April 13 and March 17 sampling events are shown on the following pages for each
lagoon sampled on your farm.
results show a significant difference in the PAN concentrations as well as other macro and micro nutrients
that put into questions the validity of the March 171 sampling results. It is unlikely that a lagoon make-up
will change significantly in a month without significant operations event occurring like a lagoon sludge
clean out. Staff also noted a high observed sludge blanket in your lagoon; however, have not yet obtained
records of the last sludge survey to verify visual observation. For these reasons the Division has deemed
the March 17ih sampling results for lagoon TQ1 to be invalid until additional information or explanation
can be provided to justify differences in sampling results. More details on the information requested to
validate the March 171 sampling data is included below.

As a result of initial evaluation of the sampling results the Division will be conducting additional evaluation
of historic data at your farms and at the other farms that were sampled on April 13, 2018. It is necessaryto
further investigate the unusual changes in lagoon characteristics between March 17 and April 13, 2018.
To assist in the investigation please provide the following to the Wilmington Regional Office no later than
June 21, 2018.
• Results of the last 2 years of sludge survey, including information on who conducted the survey.
• Records of any sludge removal that occurred between March 17 and April 14, 2018.
• Any operational changes that may have contributed to the lagoon characteristics between March
17 and April 13, 2017.
• Results of any additional lagoon waste analysis for the lagoon in question conducted since March
17, 2018
Please contact the Wilmington Regional Office at [phone] or Christine Lawson at (919) 807- 6354
if you have further questions.

Appendix $. Worksheet for sludge volume and treatment volume
Revised August 2008
The average thickness of the sludge layer and the thickness of the existing liquid (sludge -free) treatment zone are determined
from the information on the Lagoon Sludge Survey Forth ( Items O and P, respectively) In this example, the average sludge
layer 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 treatment volume. If the lagoon is a standard geometric shape, the sludge
volume and the treatment volume in the lagoon can be estimated by using standard equations For approximate volumes
of rectangular lagoons wth 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 irregular shapes, convert the total surface area to a square
or rectangular shape For exact volumes for lagoons with constant side slope, the "Pnsmoidal Equations" may be used

Note. If the lagoon has a designed sludge storage volume (DSSV), subtract that volume from both the volume
of sludge (Vs) (Item 8) and from the volume of total treatment zone (Vz) (Item 14), and take the ratio.
Then, R = (Vs-DSSV) / (Vz - DSSV)
Example, If DSSV = 85,000 ft3, then R = (169,860 - 85,000) / (447,174 - 85,000) = 84,860 / 362,174 = 0 24.

Sludge Survey Data Sheet

Appendlx,3. Worksheet for sludge volume and treatment volume
Revised August 2DOB
The average thickness of the sludge layer and the thickness of the existing liquid (sludge -free) treatment zone are determined
from the Information on the Lagoon Sludge Survey Form ( Items O and P, respectively). In this example, the average sludge
layer thickness Is 25 feet and the exrtng 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 treatment volume. If the lagoon is a standard geometric shape, the sludge
volume and the treatment volume in the lagoon 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 Irregular shapes, convert the total surface area to a square
or rectangular shape. For exact volumes for lagoons with constant side slope, the "Prismoidal Equations" may be used.

If the ratio R exceeds 0.50, than a sludge Plan of Acton may be required. Check with DWQ for
information on filing the Plan of Action.
Note- If the lagoon has a designed sludge storage volume (DSSV), subtract that volume from both the volume
of sludge (Vs) (item 8) and from the volume of total treatment zone (Vz) (Item 14). and take the ratio.
Then, R = (Vs-DSSV) / (Vz - DSSV)
Example. If DSSV = 85,DD0 fe. then R = (169,860 - 85,000) / (447.174 - 85,000) = 84,860 / 362,174 = 0.24.

Understanding the Waste Report
Nutrient concentrations and other data on this report are provided so that waste materials can be applied at agronomic rates, thereby supplementing or reducing fertilizer
application and preventing environmental contamination. In reading the Laboratory Results section, remember that materials with < 15% dry matter (generally liquids) are
analyzed as received; all other wastes are dried first Values in the Estimate of Nutrients Available for First Crop section are based on the type of waste and method of
application you specify and reflects the fact that only 40-60% of the nitrogen becomes available within one year of application. The remainder may or may not ever become
available.
