This inspection is part of the Division's efforts to determine compliance with the State's animal waste nondischarge rules. The inspection determined that the swine operation was not discharging wastewater into waters of the State and that the waste lagoons had the required amount of freeboard. As a result of the inspection, the facility was found to in compliance with the State's animal nondischarge regulations. Effective wastewater treatment and facility stewardship are an important responsibility of all animal waste producers. The Division of Water Quality has the responsibility to enforce water quality regulations in order to protect the natural resources of the State. Accordingly, illegal discharges of wastewater to surface waters of the State are subject to the assessment of civil penalties and may also result in the loss of deemed permitted status, requiring immediate submission of a waste management plan. This office would also like to take this opportunity to remind you ';that you are required to have an approved animal waste management plan by December 31, 1997. This plan must be Certified by a designated technical specialist or a professional engineer.

We have checked our files, and we still have not received the letter in the mail. Presumably, it will arrive in the near future. My client is willing to settle the matter referenced above by paying a reduced civil penalty of $2,116.00 - approximately 60% of the penalty originally levied. We feet this is a fair settlement in light of the fact that, among other things. no environmental harm was done; Mr. Mohesky took prompt action to address the concerns of the Aquifer Protection Section of the Division of Water Quality; and the Section failed to maintain the chain of custody of samples taken of the water that concerned the Division, making it impossible for the parties to know whether the water contained any constituent other than rain water. As is usual in such settlements, my client will expressly deny any admission ui a violation of statute or regulation. Regarding the issue of Mr. Mohesky's certification status, we understand that the Section is ► nwilling to make promises or concessions concerning any future aeduns the n 01/05/2006 15:20 ATTORNEY GENERAL 4 95714718 NO.180 IP04 JAnc L.

Petitioner reserves the right to supplement this list of authorities as other authorities are discovered during legal research and preparation for the contested case hearing. 2. Statement of the facts and reasons supporting �the ^Party's position on each issue in dispute CMR offers services related to animal waste management. Roland Mohesky ("Mr. Mohesky") has been certified as an Animal Waste Operator by the North Carolina Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission. On April 11, 2005, CMR was implementing a Waste Structure Closure Plan ("WSCP") at the Hale Farm, which plan was developed by Will Mann ("Mr. Mann") of the Fishing Creek Soil and Water Conservation District. In implementing the WSCP, CMR was acting under contract with the Division of Soil and Water Conservation, a division of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. The WSCP governs the closure of two lagoons that are no longer receiving animal waste. According to the WSCP, Lagoon #1 contains 6,876 tbs. of plant available nitrogen ("PAN') in 758,000 gallons of sludge and liquid; Lagoon #2 contains very Iittle nitrogen - only 393 Ibs. of PAN in 965,000 gallons of liquid with a negligible quantity of sludge. Rainfall since the last measurement of the lagoons contributed approximately 150,000 additional gallons of water, further diluting the lagoons. The start date of the WSCP was March 21, 2005, and its closure end date was to be April 22, 2005. Spring rains had delayed the implementation of the WSCP because the soil was too wet to permit spray application of water from the lagoons. The tenant on the Hale Farm, who wanted to plant cotton, was urging CMR to complete the WSCP. On the morning of April 11, 2005, Mr. Mohesky for CMR notified Mr. Mann by telephone that he planned to begin applying water from Lagoon #2 at the Hale Farm to certain nearby fields, pursuant to the WSCP. The call was to alert Mr. Mann of the beginning of the work, based on the assumption that he would want the opportunity to inspect the operation. As noted above, compared with Lagoon #1, Lagoon #2 contained more water but very little PAN or sludge. Lagoon #2 had not been agitated prior to pumping, and CMR began pumping off top water, which contained less than 40 ppm nitrogen. The irrigation reels were adjusted to apply one inch of water per acre per hour, were placed in adjoining lanes in Field #17, and were run simultaneously beginning at about 12:30 p.m. During the next hour, Mr. Mohesky inspected the operation three times to assure that it was operating consistently with the WSCP. During one inspection, Mr. Mohesky noticed that 2 the spray was reaching the farm path, and he adjusted the swing of the reel to prevent water from being sprayed on the path. He then went to an adjoining field to assist in setting up a third irrigation reel. At no time did Mr. Mohesky or any employee of CMR observe any other deviation from the WSCP until Mr. Mann arrived. At approximately 3:30 p.m. on April 11, 2005, Mr. Mohesky recognized Mr. Mann's truck as it entered the Hale Farm site, and Mr. Mohesky went to meet him. Mr. Mann alerted Mr. Mohesky that runoff from Field #17 was crossing the farm .path. Mr. Mohesky immediately shut off the pump from Lagoon #2 and, using a bulldozer, built a berm to contain the runoff. It appeared that -the berm halted any runoff from the field. Once it appeared that the situation had been stabilized, Mr. Mohesky left the site at about 5:00 p.m. CMR admits that water from Lagoon #2 ran off of Field #17, despite its best efforts to manage the operation and cope with the spring weather and the needs of the tenant farmer. There is no evidence of any harm to water quality because there is no evidence that the pond water being pumped by CMR was anything other than rainwater. Respondent concluded that CMR "may be assessed civil penalties in this matter pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2), which provides that a civil penalty ... may be assessed against a person who is required but fails to apply for or to secure a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1.- Respondent ordered CMR to pay a civil penalty of $3,528.29, $3,000.00 for the'alleged violation, plus enforcement costs of $528.29. Respondent has ordered CMR to pay a fine or civil penalty and has otherwise substantially prejudiced its rights. Further, Respondent has terminated its contract with CMR for work at the Hale Farm and has refused to pay for the work that had been completed. Based on the foregoing facts, the Agency has exceeded its authority or jurisdiction, acted erroneously, failed to use proper procedure, acted arbitrarily or capriciously and failed to act as required by law or rule. 3.

Gen Stat. § 143-215.1 (the Letter dated August 18, 2005 re Assessment of Civil Penalties for Violation(s) of N.C. Gen. Stat. 143-215.1, and Findings and Decision and Assessment of Civil Penalty, File No. DV-2005-0012 are attached hereto as Exhibit A and hereinafter referred to as "Findings and Decision"). In support of its petition, Clover M states the following; Clover M is a North Carolina corporation, doing business in, and in good standing under the laws of North Carolina. 2. Roland H. Mohesky is the president and registered agen€ of Clover M. 3. Clover M offers services related to animal waste management. Mr. Mohesky has been certified as an Animal Waste Operator by the North Carolina Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission. 4. Clover M is a person within the meaning of N.C. Gen. Stat. § 150B-2(7). 5. On April 11, 2005, Clover M was implementing a Waste Structure Closure Plan ("WSCP") at the Hale Farm located in Halifax County, North Carolina. Neither Clover M nor Mr. Mohesky owned or operated the Hale Farm. 6. The WSCP governs closure of two lagoons at the Hale Farm that were no longer receiving animal waste: the hog operation at the farm was discontinued during the Spring of 2004. According to the WSCP, Lagoon #1 contains 6,876 lbs. of plant available nitrogen ("PAN") in 758,000 gallons of sludge and liquid; Lagoon #2 contains very little nitrogen - only 393 lbs. of PAN in 965,000 gallons of water and a negligible quantity of sludge. Additional rainfall since the measurement of the lagoons contributed an additional approximately 150,000 gallons of water, further diluting the nitrogen levels in the lagoons. 7. Waste has not been placed in Lagoon #2 since the Spring, 2004. 8. On April 11, 2005, Clover M began pumping off top water from Lagoon #2 at the Hale Farm to certain nearby fields. 9. During the hour following commencement of pumping, Mr..Mohesky inspected the pumping and spray operation three times to assure that it was operating consistently with the WSCP. During one inspection, Mr. Mohesky noticed that the spray was reaching the farm path, and he adjusted the swing of the reel to prevent water from being sprayed on the path. 10. Respondent concluded that Clover M "may be assessed civil penalties in this matter pursuant to G. S. 143-215.6A(a)(2), which provides that a civil penalty .... may be assessed against a person who is required but fails to apply for or to secure a permit required by G.S, 143-215.1." 11. Respondent ordered Clover M to pay a civil penalty of $3,528.29, $3,000.00 for the alleged violation, plus enforcement costs of $528.29. 12. Respondent has ordered Clover M to pay a fine or civil penalty and has otherwise substantially prejudiced its rights. 13. Based on the foregoing facts, the Agency has exceeded its authority or jurisdiction, acted erroneously, failed to use proper procedure, acted arbitrarily or capriciously and failed to act as required by law or rule.

Bush, Chief Aquifer Protection Section Division of Water Quality Assessment Factors Violator: Clover M Recyclers, Inc. Region: Raleigh 1. The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to public health, or to private property resulting from the violation: A small amount of nutrient loading occurred to the swamp. However, it should be noted that there should have no run off to NSW waters as a result of land application activity from this site at all.. There was also rutting to fields that were not included in the Waste Management Plan which are owned by other private citizens. 2. The duration and gravity of the violation: Approximately 4 hours based on calculations from Carl Dunn, Environmental Engineer and quotes from Ms, Joann Hale. 3. The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality: It is estimated that around 10 lbs of nitrogen was added to the adjacent surface water as a result of this activity and roughly 14 lbs of phosphorus was also added. Mr. Will Mann stated that he took several soil boring of the land application field and determined that the soil was at 50% saturation so these nutrients were also added to shallow groundwater. 4. The cost of rectifying the damage: Mr. Mohesky constructed 3 small earthen dams to attempt to contain run off from The spray field. There was no attempt made to recover any wastewater. 5. .The amount of money saved by noncompliance: None 6. Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally: It is doubtful that there was intent for the wastewater to discharge to adjacent surface waters, however the overall neglect that was shown at this site should be taken into account. The response to the NOV/NOI stated that the traveling guns were set to apply 1 inch of wastewater per hour. The fact that two guns were being used simultaneously and that both guns either had no restrictor rings or at the very least the largest ones possible showed that all Mr. Mohesky wanted to do was to move large volumes of waste from the lagoon in order to get the job done as quickly as possible. Direct observations of the guns by Carl Dunn affirmed the above statement. Assessment factors Clover M Recyclers, Inc. Page 2 In a statement from Mr. Carl Dunn, Environmental Engineer with the NC Division of Soil & Water Conservation, he stated that he had spoken to Ms. Hale on 4-12-05. She noted that Clover M employees were driving tractors across the runoff that ran across the farm path and into the adjacent land owners field with no one stopping to correct this matter. Will Mann with the Fishing Creek Soil & water Conservation District stated that he observed this same activity when he arrived on site the afternoon of4-11-05. Finally, the situation seemed serious enough for the N.C. Division of Soil & Water Conservation to ask Mr. Mohesky to remove his equipment and to nullify their contract with Clover M Recyclers due to run off from the site. Both Vernon Cox and David Williams of NCDSWC observed evidence of the event the morning of April 12, 2005. 7. The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority: Clover M Recyclers, Inc. has no prior record of noncompliance that can be determined at this time. Mr. R.H. Mohesky, owner and registered agent of Clover M Recyclers and Clover M Farms does however have a varied history of noncompliance including several recent (pending) actions.

Mohesky Clovcr M Recyclers, Inc. 6868 Reedy Branch Road Rocky Mount, North Carolina 27803 Subject: Notice of Violation Intent To Enforce Discharge of Swine Waste From H.E. Hale Farm Without A Permit Halifax County Dear Mr. Mohesky: On April 11, 2005, the Raleigh Regional Office received a call from Mr. Will Mann with the Fishing Creek Soil and Water Conservation District reporting that he had observed a discharge of swine waste from land application activity on the Henry Earl Hale Farm earlier that day. The land application activity was odrlducted as part of a lagoon closure to satisfy requirements of the Swine Lagoon Buy Out Program administered by the N.C. Division of Soil and Water Conservation. Mr. Marro stated upon arriving on site he observed two traveling guns spraying wastewater on the field located directly behind the home of Mr. Halo. He stated that wastewater was actively running across the farm path through the adjacent :field and also through a waterway into the woods and into the adjacent swamp. Mr. Mann stated that he also observed run off from the spray field into a farm ditch on the far side of the field. Mr, Carl Dunn, Envirorumental Engineer, with the State Division of Soil and Walter Conservation arrived on site at approximately 7:00 PM the evening of April 11, 2005. He and Mr. Mann collected samples of the run off and took a series of photographs. Mr. Buster Towell met with Carl 17urA Mr. Vernon Cox, and Mr. David William of the Division of Soil and Water Conservation the morning of April 12, 2005, Mr. Towell collected additional sampled and Mr. Dunn estimated that there had been approximately 145,000 gallons removed from the secondary lagoon. It was estimated that at least 100,000 gallons ran off site and into an unnamed tributary to Beaverdam Swamp which is Class C sw NSW waters within the Tar -Pamlico River Basin. The above referenced discharge of swine waste into waters of the State is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143.215.1(a), and as such is subject to civil penalties of up to S 25,000.00 per day. 141(mcwy North Carolina Division of WMar Quality 1617 Mall Sarwlce Crater tleltillk NC 27690.1617 Phone (919) 733-701 S Customer Service Internal hpp.an►.s1alE ne us ! 12 N, Salisbury St. ltaleio, NC 276M FAX (919) 7334096 1.971-623-4746 An Equal 0ppavtu */AfRrrndJW Alan Employe!- 50% Raydodl10% Post Consumer Pepe Y / J/ J r r' Mr. R.H.

("CMR"), this letter responds to your April 18, 2005, letter, consistent with our agreement to delay the time that a response was due until today. Thank you again for that extension; it was helpful and necessary in gathering the facts. Your letter of April 18 is labeled a Notice of Violation and Intent to Enforce ("NOV") sent to CMR, related to operations at the Hale Farm in Halifax County, North Carolina. CMR hopes that the ±alms related below will assist the Division of Water Quality ("DWT) in �v 111.;itilg those operations and the NOV. The NOV asserts that on April 11, 2005, swine waste ran off the site and into a tributary of Beaverdam Swamp, in violation of N.C.G.S. § 143-215. 1 (a). That statute requires that a permit be issued before certain activities may be conducted. From this, we assume that DWQ alleges that the runoff of swine waste on April 1 I violates the terms of a permit applicable to the operations at Hale Farm. On April 11, CMR was implementing a Waste Structure Closure Plan ("WSCP") developed by Will Mann of the Fishing Creek Soil and Water Conservation District. The WSCP governs the closure of two lagoons that are no longer receiving animal waste. According to the WSCP, Lagoon #1 contains 6,876 lbs. of plant available nitrogen ("PAN") in :1i'L.\N';,k AUSTIN BANGKO K 13R1;ti.` i;LS (IIAkIJJI-1T' LIAI_LA, HONE KON KNi,iXVILLI+ LONDON NIO.ISAN ,MIANU NF,W PORK NORFOL.K VALERA] Rlc'f1,41(IN[7 ',[N6A110RF WASHINGTON r HUNTON& WHIIAMS Mr. Buster Towell May 20, 2005 Page 2 758,000 gallons of sludge and liquid; Lagoon #2 contains very little nitrogen - only 393 lbs. of PAN in 965,000 gallons of liquid with a negligible quantity of sludge. Rainfall since the last measurement of the lagoons contributed an additional approximately 150,000 gallons of water, further diluting the lagoons. The start date of the WSCP was March 21, 2005, and its closure end date was to be April 22, 2005. Spring rains had delayed the implementation of the WSCP because the soil was too wet to permit spray application of water from the lagoons. The tenant on the Hale Farm, who wanted to plant cotton, was urging CMR to complete the WSCP. On the morning of April 11, 2005, Mr. Mohesky for CMR notified Mr. Mann by telephone that he planned to begin applying water from Lagoon No. 2 at the Hale Farm to certain nearby fields, pursuant to the WSCP. The call was to alert Mr. Mann of the beginning of the work, based on the assumption that he would want the opportunity to inspect the operation. As noted above, compared with Lagoon #1, Lagoon #2 contained more water and sludge, but very little PAN. Lagoon #2 had not been agitated prior to pumping, and CMR began pumping off top water, which contained less than 40 ppm nitrogen. The irrigation reels were adjusted to apply one inch of water per acre per hour, were placed in adjoining lanes in field #17, and were run simultaneously beginning at about 12:30 pin. During the next hour, Mr. Mohesky inspected the operation three times to assure that it was operating consistently with the WSCP. During one inspection, Mr. Mohesky noticed that the spray was reaching the farm path, and he adjusted the swing of the reel to prevent water from being sprayed on the path. He then went to an adjoining field to assist in setting up a third irrigation reel. At no time did Mr. Mohesky or any employee of CMR observe any other deviation from the WSCP until Mr. Mann arrived, as discussed below. At approximately 3:30 pm on April 11, Mr. Mohesky recognized Mr. iVlani['S trodk a, it entered the Hale Farm site, and Mr. Mohesky went to meet him. Mr. Mann alerted Mr. Mohesky that runoff from field #17 was crossing the farm path. Mr. Mohesky immediately shut off the pump from Lagoon #2 and, using a bulldozer, built a berm to contain the runoff. It appeared that the berm halted any runoff from the field. Once it appeared that the situation had been stabilized, Mr. Mohesky left the site at about 5:00 pm. CMR regrets that water from Lagoon #2 ran off of field #17, despite its best efforts to manage the operation and cope with the spring weather and the needs of the tenant farmer. Fortunately, there is no evidence of any harm to water quality, because the pond water contained such low levels of nitrogen in it, and the fact that remedial steps were taken immediately upon discovery. 57290.000004 RALEIGH 264717v2 Mr. Buster Towel] May 20, 2005 Page 3 CMR is aware that samples of water have been collected and analyzed from one of the lagoons, from near the berm, and from a tributary to Beaverdam Swamp. Although the lack of chain of custody prevents their usage for formal purposes, the sample results appear to support the conclusion that very little, if any, nitrogen from Lagoon #2 was present near the berm, and virtually none entered the Beaverdam Swamp tributary. CMR and Mr. Mohesky hope that this single, isolated incident will not undermine the confidence that the Division of Soil and Water Conservation and other governmental and private entities may have that CMR can continue to work on lagoon closures in a manner that is consistent with approved plans. CMR believes that this work is important and is committed to implementing the plans properly. CMR will continue to meet with State personnel to discuss lagoon closures to help assure that the closures meet all applicable requirements. If it would be helpful for CMR or Mr. Mohesky to provide any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me. With best regards, we are Very truly yours, HUNTON & WILLIAMS LLP Jason S.

Ross, Jr., Secretary NCDENR David S Vogel, Director NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCE5 To: Buster Towell — Environmental Specialist Division of Water Quality - RRO Date: May 17, 2005 From: Carl Dunn, PE -- Environmental Engineer Division of Soil and Water Conservation — WaRO: , Subject: Hale Farm — Halifax County Facility Number 42 — 22 I have prepared a summary of the events surrounding the application of waste from the animal waste lagoon that occurred on the Henry Hale Farm on the day of April 11, 2005. l was called to the site on that afternoon by Mr. Will Mann of the Fishing Creek Soil and Water Conservation "District Office concerning the fact that the lagoon closure plan had not been followed correctly. This farm is being closed under the Flood Plain Buyout Program though the Division of Soil and Water Conservation. The lagoon closure plan states that animal waste must be applied in such a manner that there shall be no runoff from the application fields. I arrived at the farm at approximately 6:00 pm to assess situation and made the following observations. Animal waste appeared to pond at edge of the farm road. The pond of animal waste had been created by a small earthen dike at the edge of the application field. Some animal waste was still flowing around the edge of the dike into the pond area and then flowing across the road into a grass waterway. 2. The animal waste had run from the field, crossed the farm road, traveled into the field on the other side of farm path, entered a grass waterway, and finally discharged into what appeared to be a swamp. 3. Waste had been applied to the fields using two Nelson 150 irrigation guns. The guns were part of a hard hose traveling system to apply waste. The guns appeared to have the largest ring diameter possible. The ring diameter is part of the irrigation mechanism that helps dictate the actual rate of application of animal waste to the field. 4. A factor that also affects runoff from an irrigation field is the current moisture content of the soil. The soil can only allow a certain volume of water to infiltrate into the soil profile over a given time." If the infiltration rate is exceeded or the current moisture holding capacity of the soil is exceeded, 943 Washington Square Mall, Washington, North Carolina 27889 Telephone 252-946-6481 FAX 252-975-3716 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer then runoff will occur. In my opinion the infiltration rate and the current moisture holding capacity of the soil had both been exceeded during this waste application event. This led to the discharge of animal waste from the field. 5. 1 also observed that the application field had a crown shape with slopes to both sides. Thus, the waste ran off both sides of this field. A small earthen dike similar to the one by the farm road had also been created on the opposite side of the application field to try to catch runoff from the field before it could enter a field ditch. 6. Samples were pulled from the pond of waste beside the farm path and from the area that I perceived to be a swamp where the waste entered. The sample results are attached. The sample labeled F is from the field edge and the sample labeled S is from the swamp. 7. It was now too dark to conduct any further investigation, so I would continue on the morning of the next day, which is April 12, 2005. 8. On the morning of April 12, 2005 1 arrived at the farm and greeted Mr. and Mrs. Hale. I asked Mrs. Hale if she had any knowledge of the waste application activities on the previous day. She stated that the application event started sometime between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. She left her house at 11:00 am and there was no activity and when she returned around 1:00 pm waste was being applied to the field and the waste was already running across the road at this time. She saw a Clover M employee driving through the waste, but making no effort to stop the waste. 9. 1 then measured the lagoon to determine the volume of waste that had been applied to the field. The lagoon surface area at the water level was approximately 0.44 acres. I observed that approximately 12 inches of waste had been removed from the lagoon. This would indicate that approximately 144000 gallons of waste was removed from the lagoon. 10. 1 calculated the volume of waste that would likely flow through the irrigation guns, if the guns were operated properly. A Nelson 150 gun should operate at a pressure of no less than 50 psi. This gun operating at a pressure of 50 psi with the largest possible ring would apply 350 gallons of waste per minute. This means that two guns could apply at least 700 gallons per minute of waste to the field and likely this number of gallons is higher because this is the minimum operating pressure. 11. A total of 3.4 hours is required to apply 144000 gallons of waste at 700 gallons per minute. If the application rate were increased to 800 gallons per minute, which is very feasible with this irrigation equipment, then the total time to apply 144000 gallons drops to just three hours. This time frame would fit the time frame that l was given by Mrs. Hale and Mr. Mann for when the application event started and when it was ended. This supports the initial calculation of the volume removed from the lagoon. 943 Washington square Mall, Washington, North Carolina 27889 Telephone 252-946-6481 FAX 252-975-3716 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 12. The soil conditions likely did not permit more than one third of this volume of waste to infiltrate into the soil. Thus, the amount of animal waste that likely discharged from the field was close to 100000 gallons. 13. 1 also examined how the two irrigation guns were spaced within the field. The two guns were found to be approximately 200 feet apart. This spacing is inappropriate for the two guns in this system. The guns have too much overlap, which would further exacerbate the runoff problem. The conclusion of this investigation is that waste was not applied in the manner specified in the lagoon closure plan. Waste was not to be applied where it would run off the application field. I hope this summary is useful to your investigation into this matter. If l may be of further assistance, please let me know. Thank you very much.

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 applyipg nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal,to,zoro. 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 cells for the application of nutritats that have not yet accumulated, If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste m;eods the design storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planed 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 pro4wity, 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.N'utrient 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 manageri2ent, 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'pex 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, MRCS #field Office.Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5.. Odom 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. E 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. -----................................................ .................... .--- ----.................... ................................. — ............. .. 721616 D=bwa Version 2,0 Date Printed. 12/28/2004 Specification Page 1 T 60 3Ji7d S06N QZ)MSZ)J VISTE89 LT:ZZ Zoaz/90/to 8. Animal waste shall not be applied -to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soll 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 wintcr 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 residen#al 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. 1 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of=ways. 15. Animal waste shaft not be discharged into surface waters, draiaageways, 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 appiied do 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 washdowu facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. .................................................................................................................................................................... 72I616 Database Version 10 Date -Printed: 1=8/2004 Svzcification Paste 2 9T 3Jdd SDZH UOMSO3 'PT81689 6T:TZ Z00Z/90/L0 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 Iimited 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 craps for direct human consumption, It should only be applied pre -plant with no furthef 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 maiutain 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 opplication.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.

Presumably, it will arrive in the near future, My client is willing to settle the matter referenced above by paying a reduced civil penalty of $2,116.00 - approximately 60% of the penalty originally levied. We feel this is a fair settlement in light of tho fact that, among other things, no environmental harm was done; Mr. Mohesky took prompt action to address tho concerns of the Aquifer Protection Section of the Division of Water Quality; and the Section failed to maintain the chain of custody of samples taken of the water that concerned the Division,.making it impossible for the parties to know whether the water contained any constituent other than rain water. As is usual in such settlements, my client will expressly deny any admission of a violation of statute or regulation. Regarding the issue of Mr. Mohesky's certification status, we understand that the Section Is unwilling to make promisee or concessions concerning any future actions the 01/05/2006 15:16 ATTORNEY GENERAL 4 95714716 NO.179 004 Jane L.

Easley, Governor William G. Ross, Jr., Secretary NCDENR David S Vogel, Director NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL REsouRCEs To: Buster Towell — Environmental Specialist Division of Water Quality - RRO Date: May 17, 2005 From: Carl Dunn, PE — Environmental Engineer Division of Soil and Water Conservation — WaRO ."' Subject: Hale Farm —Halifax County Facility Number 42 — 22 I have prepared a summary of the events surrounding the application of waste from the animal waste lagoon that occurred on the Henry Hale Farm on the day of April 11, 2005. 1 was called to the site on that afternoon by Mr. Will Mann of the Fishing Creek Soil and Water Conservation District Office concerning the fact that the lagoon closure plan had not been followed correctly. This farm is being closed under the Flood Plain Buyout Program though the Division of Soil and Water Conservation. The lagoon closure plan states that animal waste must be applied in such a manner that there shall be no runoff from the application fields. I arrived at the farm at approximately 6:00 pm to assess situation and made the following observations. Animal waste appeared to pond at edge of the farm road. The pond of animal waste had been created by a small earthen dike at the edge of the application field. Some animal waste was still flowing around the edge of the dike into the pond area and then flowing across the road into a grass waterway. 2. The animal waste had run from the field, crossed the farm road, traveled into the field on the other side of farm path, entered a grass waterway, and finally discharged into what appeared to be a swamp. 3. Waste had been applied to the fields using two Nelson 150 irrigation guns. The guns were part of a hard hose traveling system to apply waste. The guns appeared to have the largest ring diameter possible. The ring diameter is part of the irrigation mechanism that helps dictate the actual rate of application of animal waste to the field. 4. A factor that also affects runoff from an irrigation field is the current moisture content of the soil. The soil can only allow a certain volume of water to infiltrate into the soil profile over a given time. If the infiltration rate is exceeded or the current moisture holding capacity of the soil is exceeded, 943 Washington Square Mail, Washington, North Carolina 27889 Telephone 252-946-6481 FAX 252-975-3716 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer then runoff will occur. In my opinion the infiltration rate and the current moisture holding capacity of the soil had both been exceeded during this waste application event. This led to the discharge of animal waste from the field. 5. 1 also observed that the application field had a crown shape with slopes to both sides. Thus, the waste ran off both sides of this field. A small earthen dike similar to the one by the farm road had also been created on the opposite side of the application field to try to catch runoff from the field before it could enter a field ditch. 6. Samples were pulled from the pond of waste beside the farm path and from the area that I perceived to be a swamp where the waste entered. The sample results are attached. The sample labeled F is from the field edge and the sample labeled S is from the swamp. 7. It was now too dark to conduct any further investigation, so I would continue on the morning of the next day, which is April 12, 2005. 8. On the morning of April 12, 2005 1 arrived at the farm and greeted Mr. and Mrs. Hale. I asked Mrs. Hale if she had any knowledge of the waste application activities on the previous day. She stated that the application event started sometime between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm. She left her house at 11:00 am and there was no activity and when she returned around 1:00 pm waste was being applied to the field and the waste was already running across the road at this time. She saw a Clover M employee driving through the waste, but making no effort to stop the waste. 9. 1 then measured the lagoon to determine the volume of waste that had been applied to the field. The lagoon surface area at the water level was approximately 0.44 acres. I observed that approximately 12 inches of waste had been removed from the lagoon. This would indicate that approximately 144000 gallons of waste was removed from the lagoon. 10. 1 calculated the volume of waste that would likely flow through the irrigation guns, if the guns were operated properly. A Nelson 150 gun should operate at a pressure of no less than 50 psi. This gun operating at a pressure of 50 psi with the largest possible ring would apply 350 gallons of waste per minute. This means that two guns could apply at least 700 gallons per minute of waste to the field and likely this number of gallons is higher because this is the minimum operating pressure. 11. A total of 3.4 hours is required to apply 144000 gallons of waste at 700 gallons per minute. If the application rate were increased to 800 gallons per minute, which is very feasible with this irrigation equipment, then the total time to apply 144000 gallons drops to just three hours. This time frame would fit the time frame that I was given by Mrs. Hale and Mr. Mann for when the application event started and when it was ended. This supports the initial calculation of the volume removed from the lagoon. 943 Washington Square Mall, Washington, North Carolina 27889 Telephone 252-946-6481 FAX 252-975-3716 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 12. The soil conditions likely did not permit more than one third of this volume of \� waste to infiltrate into the soil. Thus, the amount of animal waste that likely discharged from the field was close to 100000 gallons. 13. 1 also examined how the two irrigation guns were spaced within the field. The two guns were found to be approximately 200 feet apart. This spacing is inappropriate for the two guns in this system. The guns have too much overlap, which would further exacerbate the runoff problem. The conclusion of this investigation is that waste was not applied in the manner specified in the lagoon closure plan. Waste was not to be applied where it would run off the application field. I hope this summary is useful to your investigation into this matter. If I may be of further assistance, please let me know. Thank you very much.

Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for such request: Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered: (1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the violator; (2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation; (3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident; (4) whether the violator has been assessed civil penalties for any. previous violations; or (5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions. .Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and -provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee).

(•'C1v1R" ), this letter responds to your April 18, 2005, letter, consistent with our agreement to delay the time. that a response was due until today. 'shank you again for that extension; it was helpful and necessary in gathering the facts. Your letter of April 18 is labeled a Notice of Violation and Intent to Enforce (-NOV") sent to CMR, related to operations at the hale Farm in Halifax County, North Carolina. CMR hopes that the facts related below will assist the Division of Water Quality (" DWQ") in evaluating those operations and the NOV_ The NOV asserts that on April 11, 2005, swine waste ran off the site and into a tributary of Beaverdam Swamp, in violation of N.C.G.S. § 143-215.1(a). That statute rcgoires that a permit be issued before certain activities may be conducted From this, we assume that DWQ alleges that the runoff of swine waste on April 11 violates the terms of a permit applicable to the operations at Hale Farm. On April 11, CMR was implementing a Waste Structure Closure Plan ("WSCP") developed by Will Matto of the Fishing Creek Soil and Water Conservation District. The WSCP governs the closure of two lagoons that are no longer receiving animal waste. According to the WSCP, Lagoon #1 contains 6,876 lbs. of plant available nitrogen C'PAN') in AT,nV:A .111 I)Ai.LAL SNQX\11L:= LON!;;l\ WAV-1 \�W :'UX.1, iUChY.VN!; S:;:;Ar�-ir 14KS'ri1N,Jt)N MRY-20-05 11:16am From-HUNTON&WILLIAMS +0198336352 T-T26 P.03/04 F-273 11 Ne"I i I Ifl ;WU IN "53 Mr. Buster Towel] May 20, 2005 Page 2 758,000 gallons of sludge and liquid; Lagoon #2 contains very little nitrogen - only 393 lbs. of PAN in 965,000 gallons of liquid with a negligible quantity of sludge. Rainfall since the last measurement of the lagoons contributed an additional approximately 150,000 gallons of water, further diluting the lagoons. The start date of the WSCP was March 21, 2005, and its closure end date was to be April 22, 2005. Spring rains had delayed the implementation of the WSCP because the soil was too wet to getout spray application of water from the lagoons. The tenant on the Hale Farm, who wanted to plant cotton, was urging CMR to complete the WSCP. On the morning of April 11, 2005, Mr. Mohesky for CMR notified Mr. Mann by telephone that he planned to begin applying water from Lagoon No. 2 at the Hale Farm to certain nearby fields, prirstiant to the WSCP. The call was to alert Mr. Mann of the beginning of the work, based on the assumption that he would want the opportunity to inspect the operation. As noted above, compared with Lagoon #l, Lagoon 02 contained more water and sludge, but very little PAN. Lagoon 02 had not been agitated prior to pumping, and CMR began pumping off top water, which contained less than 40 ppm nitrogen. The irrigation reels were adjusted to apply one inch of water per acre per hour, were placed in adjoining lanei in field #17. and were run simultaneously beginning at about 12:30 pm. During the next ho", Mr. Mohesky inspected the operation three tithes to assure that it was operating consistently with the WSCP. During one inspection, Mr. Mohesky noticed that the spray was reaching the farm path, and he adjusted the swing of the reel to prevent water from being sprayed on the path. He then went to an adjoining field to assist in setting up a third irrigation reel. At no time did Mr. Mohesky or any employee of CMR observe any other deviation from the WSCP until Mr. Mahn arrived, as discussed below. At approximately 3:30 pm on April 11, Mr. Mohesky recognized Mr. Mann's tuck as it entered the Hale Farts site, and Mr. Molt -Sky went to meet him. Mr. Maas alerted Mr. Mohesky that runoff from field #17 was crossing the farm path. Mr. Mohesky immediately shut off the pump from Lagoon #2 and, using a bulldozer, built a berm to contain the runoff. It appeared that the berth halted any runoff from the field. Once it appeared that the situation had been stabilized, Mr. Mohesky left the sit& at about 5:00 pm, CMR regrets that water from Lagoon 02 ran off of field 4117, despite its best efforts to manage the operation and cope with the spring weather and the deeds of the tenant farmer. Fortunately, there is no evidence of any harm to water quality, because the pond water contained such low levels of nitrogen in it, and the fact that remedial steps were taken immediately upon discovery. 57290.00OW4 RAL1r10H 2.647174 ' MOY-20-05 11:17am From-HUNTON:WILLIAMS +0108336352 T-T28 P.04/04 F-273 Mr. Busher Towell May 20, 2005 Page 3 CMR is aware that samples of water have been collected and analyzed from one of the lagoons, from near the berm, and from a tributary to Beaverdam Swamp. Although the lack of chain of custody prevents their usage for formal purposes, the sample results appear to support the conclusion that very little, if any, nitrogen from Lagoon #i2 was present near tha berm, and virtually none entered the Beaverdam Swamp tributary. CMR and Mr. Mohesk-y hope that this single, isolated incident will not undermine the confidence that the Division of Soil and Water Conservation and other goverrtmental and private entities may have that CMR can continue to work on lagoon closures in a manner that is consistent wish approved plans. CMR believes that this work is important and is committed to implementing the plans properly. CMR will continue to meet with State personnel to discuss lagoon closures to help assure that the closures meet all applicable requirements. If it would be helpful for CMR or Mr. Mohesky to provide any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me. With best regards, we are Very truly yours, HUNTCIN & WILLIAMS LLP Jason S.

("CW ), this letter responds to your April 18, 2005, letter, consistent with our agreement to delay the time that a response was due until today. Thank you again for that extension: it was helpful and necessary in gathering the facts. Your letter of April 18 is labeled a Notice of Violation and Intent to Enforce C'NOV") sent to CMR, related to operations at the Hale Farm in Halifax County, North Carolina. CMR tropes that the facts related below will assist the Division of Water Quality ("DWQ") in evaluating Those operations and the NOV. The NOV asserts that on April 11, 2005, swine waste ran off the site and into a tributary of Beaverdam Swamp, in violation of N.C.G.S. $ 143-215.1(a). That statute requires that a permit be issued before certain activities may be conducted, From this, we assume that DWQ alleges that the runoff of swine waste on April 11 violates the terms of a permit applicable to the operations at Hale Farm. On April 11, CMR was implementing a Waste Strum a Closure Plan ("WSCP") developed by Will Maan of the Fishing Creek Soil and Water Conservation District.

According to the WSCP, Lagoon #1 contains 6,876 lbs. of plant available nitrogen C PAN") in 758,000 gallons of sludge and liquid: Lagoon tit contains very little nitrogen - only 393 lbs. of PAN in 965,000 gallons of liquid with a negligible quantity of sludge. Rainfall since the last measurement of the lagoons contributed an additional approximately 150,000 gallons of water, further diluting the lagoons, The start date of the WSCP was March 21, 2005, and its closure and date was to be April 22, 2005. Spring rains had delayed the implementation of the WSCP because the soil was too wet to permit spray application of water from the lagoons. The tenant on the Hale Farm, who wanted to plant cotton, was urging CMR to complete the WSCP. On the morning of April 11, 2005, Mr. Mohesky for CMR notified Mr. Mann by telephone that he planned to begin applying water from Lagoon No. 2 at the Halt Farm to certain nearby fields, pursuant to the WSCP. The call was to alert Mr. Mann of the beginning of the work, bayed on the assumption that he would want the opportunity to inspect the operation. As noted above, compared with Lagoon #l, Lagoon #2 contained more water but very little PAN or sludge. Lagoon #2 had not been agitated prior to pumping, and CMR began pumping off top water, which contained less than 40 ppm nitrogen. The irrigation reels were adjusted to apply one inch of water per acre per hour, were placed in adjoining lanes in field 017, and were run simultaneously beginning at about 12:30 pm. During the next hour, Mr. Mohesky inspected the operation three times to assure that it was operating consistently with the WSCP. Dining one inspection, Mr. Mohesky noticed that the spray was reaching the farm path, and he adjusted the swing of the reel to prevent water from being sprayed on the path. He then went to an adjoining field to assist in setting up a third irrigation reel. At no time did Mr. Mohesky or any employee of CMR observe any other deviation from the WSCP until Mr. Mann arrived, as discussed below. At approximately 3:30 pun on April 11, Mr. Mohesky recognized Mr.Mann's truck as it entered the Hale Farm site, and Mr. Mohesky went to meet him. Mr. Mann alerted Mr. Mohesky that runoff from field#17 was crossing the farm path. Mr. Mohesky immediately shut off the pump from Lagoon #2 and, using a bulldozer, built a berm to contain the runoff. It appeared that the berm halted any runoff from the field. Once it appeared that the situation had been stabilized, Mr. Mohesky left the site at about 5:00 pm. CMR rcgrcts that water from Lagoon 02 ran off of field 017, despite its best efforts to manage the operation and cope with the spring weather and the needs of the tenant farmer. Fortunately, there is no evidence of any harm to water quality, because the pond water 57290.00DO04 R-AL 01i 2647170 tlaY-23-05 O3:16pm From-HUNTON&WILLIAMS +9118836352 T-732 P.04/05 F-312 1 wo Mr. Buster Towell May 23, 2005 Page 3 contained such low levels of nitrogen in it, and the fact that remedial steps were taken immediately upon discovery. CMR is aware that samples of wafer have been collected and analyzed from one of the lagoons, from near the berm, and from a tributary to Beaverdam Swamp. Although the lack of chain of custody prevents their usage for foruW- purposes, the sample results appear to support the conclusion that very little, if any, nitrogen from Lagoon #2 was present near the berm, and virtually none entered the Beaverdam Swamp tributary. CMR and Mr. Mohesky hope that this single, isolated incident will not undermine the confidence that the Division of Soil and Water Couservation and other governmental and private entities may have that CMR can continue to.work on lagoon closures in a manner that is consistent with approved plans. CMR believes that this work is important and is committed to implementing the plans properly. CMR will continue to meet with State personnel to discuss lagoon closures to help assure that the closures meet all applicable requirements. If it would be helpful for CMR or Mr. Mohesky to provide any additional Wormadon, please do not hesitate to contact me. With best regards, we are Very truly yours, HUNTQN & WUJI"S LLP Jason S.

Box 215 Sharpsburg, North Carolina 27878 Subject: Notice of Violation Intent To Enforce Discharge of Swine Waste From H.E. Hale Farm Without A Permit Halifax County Dear Mr. Mohesky: On April 11, 2005, the Raleigh Regional Office received a call from Mr. Will Mann with the Fishing Creek Soil and Water Conservation District reporting that he had observed a discharge of swine waste from land application activity on the Henry Earl Hale Farm earlier that day. The land application activity was conducted as part of a lagoon closure to satisfy requirements of the Swine Lagoon Buy Out Program administered by the N.C. Division of Soil and Water Conservation. Mr. Mann stated upon arriving on site he observed two traveling guns spraying wastewater on the field located directly behind the home of Mr. Hale. He stated that wastewater was actively running across the farm path through the adjacent field and also through a waterway into the woods and into the adjacent swamp. Mr. Mann stated that he also observed run off from the spray field into a farm ditch on the far side of the field. Mr. Carl Dunn, Environmental Engineer, with the State Division of Soil and Water Conservation arrived on site at approximately 7:00 PM the evening of April 11, 2005. He and Mr. Mann collected samples of the run off and took a series of photographs. Mr. Buster Towell met with Carl Dunn, Mr. Vernon Cox, and Mr. David Williams of the Division of Soil and Water Conservation the morning of April 12, 2005. Mr. Towell collected additional samples and Mr. Dunn estimated that there had been approximately 145,000 gallons removed from the secondary lagoon. It was estimated that at least 100,000 gallons ran off site and into an unnamed tributary to Beaverdam Swamp which is Class C sw NSW waters within the Tar -Pamlico River Basin. The above referenced discharge of swine waste into waters of the State is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1(a), and as such is subject to civil penalties of up to S 25,000.00 per day.

Division of Water Quality is investigating a spill of about 100,000 gallons of animal waste from a former swine farm in Enfield in Halifax County. The farm, owned by Henry Earl Hale, is part of the N.C. Division of Soil and Water Conservation's swine buyout program for animal waste lagoons located within the I00-year floodplain. The program, which receives funding from the Clean Water Management Trust Fund, removes high -risk swine production operations from the 100-year floodplain and reduces potential hazard from future floods while keeping the land in agricultural use. In September 2004, DSWC purchased a 20-acre easement from Hale for $115,630 as part of the program. DSWC entered into a $33,750 contract in February 2005 with Clover M Recyclers Inc. of Sharpsburg to close out the lagoons on the site. Clover M Recyclers began the closure process Monday morning by land applying waste to fields at the farm to empty the lagoons as part of the closure process. A technician with the Fishing Creek Soil and Water Conservation District arrived to inspect the site Monday afternoon and observed a discharge from the field. He immediately directed the contractor to shut off the system and put up berms to prevent additional runoff and he then notified the Division of Water Quality. The spill ran off the farm field and into an unnamed tributary that feeds Beaver Dam Swamp, which flows to Fishing Creek in the Tar -Pamlico River Basin. DWQ inspectors estimate that 150,000 gallons of waste were pumped and approximately 100,000 gallons flowed off the application fields. DSWC and DWQ staff sampled downstream waterways on Monday aftcrnoon and Tuesday. The results of the tests were not available as of Friday morning. Swine at the fann were removed in the spring of 2004. The wastewater from the lagoon was fairly diluted from rainfall and nitrogen levels were low, according to DWQ inspectors. As a result of the events and the ongoing investigation, the Division of Soil and Water Conservation has terminated its contract with Clover M Recyclers for the closeout work at the Hale Swine Farm. Clover M has not received any payments from the contract. The Division of Soil and Water Conservation and the Division of Water Quality are agencies in the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources.

Clover M. Recyclers. Inc. - Notice of Violation; Intent to Enforce; — —DjLch4= of Wasic f H._E._Hale Farm without 'a' .ilialif" Ca i13W Dear Mr. Towell: On behalf of Clover M.ltecyclers, Inc. (•CMR" ), this letter responds to your April 18, 2005, letter, consistent with our agreement to delay the time that a response was due until today. Thank you again for that extension; it was helpful and necessary in gathering the facts. Your letter of April 18 is labeled a Notice of Violation and Intent to Enforce ('VOV") sent to CMR, related to operations at the Hale Farm in Halifax County, North Carolina. CMR hopes than the facts related below will assist the Division of Water Quality ("DWQ") in evaluating those operations and the NOV. The NOV asserts that on April 11, 2005, swine waste ran off the site and into a tributary of Beaverdam Swamp, in violation of N.C.G.S, § 143-215.1(a). That statute mquires that a permit be issued bcfore certain activities may be conducted. From this, we assume that DWQ alleges that the runoff of swine waste on April 11 violates the terms of a permit applicable to the operations at Hale Farm, On April 11, CMR was implementing a Waste Structure Closure Plan ("WSCP") developed by Will Mann of the Fishing Creek Soil and Water Conservation District. The WSCP governs the closure of two lagoons that are no longer receiving animal waste. According to the WSCP, Lagoon 01 contains 6,876 lbs. of plant available nitrogen C PAN") in 47,./%'q:1 IUN !iA.tiG„Gtt PkL'SS_!.1 ;1AKLGT1,. PALLA.

Rainfall since the last measurement of the lagoons contributed an additional approximawly 150,000 gallons of water, farther diluting the lagoons. The start date of the WSCP was March 21, 2005, and its closure end date was to be April 22, 2005. Spring rains had delayed the implementation of the WSCP because the soil was too wet to perrrut spray application of water from the lagoons. The tenant can the Hale Farm, who wanted to plant cotwu, was urging CMR w complete the WSCP. On the morning of April 11, 2005, Mr. Mobcsky for CMR notified Mr. Mean by telephone that be planned to begin applying water from Lagoon No. 2 at the Hale Farm to certain nearby fields, pursuant to the WSCP. The can was to alert Mr. Mann of the beginning of the work, based on the assumption that he would want the oppomraity to inspect the operation. As noted above, compared with Lagoon #1 , Lagoon 02 contained more water and sludge, but very little PAN. Lagoon 02 had not been agitated prior to pumping, and CMR began pumping off top water, which contained less than 40 ppm nitrogen. The irrigation r cis were adjusted to apply one inch of water per acre per hoar, were placed in adjoining lane, in field #17. and were run simultaneously beginning at about 12.30 pm. During the next hour, Mr. Mobeslry inspected the operation three times to assure that it was operating consistently with the WSCP. During one inspection, Mr. Mohesky noticed that the spray was reaching the farm path, and he adjusted the swing of the reel to prevent water from being sprayed on the path. He then went to an adjoining field to assist in setting up a third irrigation reel. At no time did Mr. Mohesky or any employee of CMR observe any other deviation from the WSCP until Mr. Mann arrived, as discussed below. At approximately 3:30 pm on April 11, Mr. Mohesky recognized Mr. Maori's ruck as it entered the Hale Farm site, and Mr. Mohesky went to meet him. Mr. Manus alerted Mr. Mohesky that runoff from field #17 was crossing the farm path. Mr. Mohesky immediately shut off the pump from Lagoon #2 and, using a bulldozer, built a berm to contain the runoff. It appeared that the berm halted any runoff from the field, Once it appeared that the situation bad been stabilized, Mr. Mohesky left the sits at about 5:00 pm. CMR regrets that water from Lagoon 02 ran off of field 917, despite its best efforts to mariage the operation and cope with The spring weather and the needs of the tenant fanner. Fortunately, there is no evidence of any harm to water quality, because the pond water contained such low levels of nitrogen in it, and the fact that remedial steps were taken immediately upon discovery. 57290.000004 RAL IGtr 264717v2 I I d7am From-HUNTQNIWILLIAMS +0106336352 T-T28 P.04/04 F-273 Mr. Buster Towell May 20, 2005 Page 3 CMR is aware that tramples of water have been collected and analyzed from one of the lagoons, from near the berth, and from a tribunary to Reaverdam Swamp. Although the lacy of chain of custody prevents their usage for formal parposes, the sample results appear to suppon the conclusion that very little, if any, nitrogen from Lagoon #2 was present near the berm, and virtually none cnterad the Beavcrdam Swamp tributary. CMR and Mr. Mohesi~-y hope that this single, isolated incident will not undermine the confidence that the Division of Soil and Water Conservation and other governmental and private entities may have that CMR can continue to work on lagoon closures in a manner that is consistent with approved plans. CMR Believes that this work is important and is committed to implementing the plans properly. CMR will continue to meet with State personnel to discuss lagoon closures to help assure that the closures meet all applicable requirements. If it would be helpful for CMR or Mr. Mohesky to provide any additional informadon, please do not hesitate to contact me. With best regards, we arc Very truly yours, HUNTON & WILLIAMS LLP Jason S.

Hale Farm Without A Fermit Halifax County Dear Mt. Mohesky: On April 11, 2005, the Raleigh Regional Office received a call from Mt. Will Mann with the Fishing Creek Soil and Water Coinsumdon District reporting that he had observed a discharge of swine waste from land application activity on the Henry Earl Hale Farm earlier that day. The land application activity was ednducted as part of a lagoon closure to satisfy requirements of the Swine lagoon Buy Out Program administered by the N.C. Division of Soil and Water Conservation. Mr. Marro stated upon arriving on site he observed two traveling gture spraying wastewater on the field located directly behind the home of Mr. Hale. He stated that wastewater was actively running across the farm path through the adjacent field and also through a waterway into the woods and into the adjacent swamp. Mr. Mann stated that he also observed run off from the spray field into a farm ditch on the far side of the field. Mr. Carl Dunn, Environmental Engineer, with the State Division of Soil and Water Conservation arrived on site at approximately 7:00 PM the evening of April 11, 2005. He and Mr. Mahn collected samples of the run off and took a series of photographs. Mr. Buster Towell met with Carl Dunn, Mr. Vernon Cox, and Mr. David Williams of the Division of Soil and Water Conservation the morning of April 12, 2005. Mr. Towell collected additional samples and Mr. Dunn estimated that there had been approximately 145,000 gallons removed from the secondary lagoon. It was estimated that at least 100,000 gallons ran offsite and into an unmmcd tributary to Beoverdam Swamp which is Class C sw NSW waters within the Tar -Pamlico River Basin.

Recyclers, Inc. ("CMR"), this letter responds to your April 18, 2005, letter, consistent with our agreement to delay the time that a response was due until today. Thank you again for that extension; it was helpful and necessary in gathering the facts. Your letter of April 18 is labeled a Notice of Violation and Intent to ]=trforce ("NOV") seat to CMR. related to operations at the Hale Farm in Halifax County, North Carolina. CMR hopes that the facts related below will assist the Division of water Quality ("DWQ") in evaluating those operations and the NOV. The NOV asserts that on April 11, 2005, swine waste ran off the site and into a tributary ofSeaverdata Swamp, in violation of N.C.G.S. ll 143-215.1(a). That statute requires that a pen -nit be issued before certain activities may be conducted. From this, we assume that DWQ alleges that the runoff of swine waste on April 11 violates the terms of a permit applicable to the operations at Hale Farm. On April 11, CMR was implementing a Wastc Structure Closure Platy ("WSCP') developed by Will Mann of the Fishing Creek Soil and Water Conservation District.

According to the WSCP, Lagoon #1 contains 6,876 lbs. of plant available nitrogen ("PAN") in 758,000 gallons of sludge and liquid: Lagoon #2 contains very little nitrogen - only 393 lbs. of PAN in 965,000 gallons of liquid with a negligible quantity of sludge. Rainfall since thr last measurement of the lagoons contributed an additional approximately 150,000 gallons of water, further diluting the lagoons. The start elate of the WSCP was March 21, 2005, and its closure end date was to be April 22, 2005. Spring rains had delayed the implementation of the WSCP because the soil was too wet to permit spray application of water from the lagoons. The tenant on the Hale Farm, who wanted to plant cotton, was urging CMR to complete the WSCP. On the morning of April 11, 2005. Mr. Mohesky for CMR notified Mr. Mann by telephone that he planned to begin applying water from Lagoon No. 2 at the Hale Farm to certain nearby fields, pursuant to the WSCP. The call was to alert Mr. Mann of the beginning of the work, based on the assumption that he would want the opportunity to inspect tha operation. As noted above, comparr d with Lagoon #1, Lagoon #2 contained more water but very little PAN or sludge. lagoon #2 had not been agitated prior to pumping, and CMR began pumping off top water, which contained less than 40 ppm nitrogen. The irrigation reels were adjusted to apply one inch of water per acre per hour, were placed in adjoining lanes in field #17, bnd were run simultaneously beginning at about 12:30 pm. During the next hour, Mr. Mohesky inspected the operation three times to assure that it was operating consistently with the WSCP. During one inspection, Mr. Mohesky noticed that the spray was reaching the farts path, and he adjusted the swing of the reel to prevent water from being spr-dycd on the path. He then went to an adjoining field to assist in setting up a third irrigation reel. At no time did Mr. Mohesky or any employee of CMR observe any other deviation frail the WSCP until Mr. Mann arrived, as discussed below. At approximately 3:30 pm on April 11. Mr. Mohesky recognized Mr. Mann's truck as it entered the Hale Farm site, and Mr. Mohesky went to meet him. Mr. Mann alerted Mr. Mohesky that runoff from field417 was crossing the farm path. Mr. Mohesky irtunediately shut off the pump from Lagoon #2 and, using a bulldo=. built a bean to contain the runoff. It appeared that the berm halted any runoff from the field. Owe it appeared that the situation had been stabilized, Mr. Mohesky left the site at about 5:00 pm. CMR rcgrcts that water from Lagoon 02 ran off of field #17, despite its best efforts to managc the operation and cope with the spring weather and the needs of the tenant farmer. Fortunately. there is no evidence of any harm to water quality, because the pond water 57290,000004 RAMOK 264717v3 l,- ipm From—HUNTONAWILL1M +0160136352 T-732 P.04/05 F-812 l/ Mr. Buster Towell { May 23, 2005 Page 3 contained such low levels of nitrogen in it, and the fact that remedial steps were taken immediately upon discovery. CMR is aware that samples of water have been collected and analyzed from one of [he lagoons, from near the berth, and from a tributary to Beaverdam Swamp. Although the lack of chain of custody prevent% their usage for formal purposes, the sample results appear to support the conclusion that very little, if any, nitrogen from Lagoon #2 was present near the berm, and virtually none entered the Beaverdam Swamp tributary. CMR and Mr. Mohesky hope that this single, isolated incident will not undermine the confidence that the pivision of Soil and Water Conservation and other governmental and private entities may have that CMR can continue w work on lagoon closures in a manner that is consistent with approved plans. CMR believes that this work is important and is committed to implementing the plans properly. CMR will continue to meet with State personnel to discuss lagoon closures to help assure that the closures meet all applicable requirements. If it would be helpful for CMR or Mr. Mohesky to provide any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me. With best regards, we are Very truly yours, HUNTON & WUJJ"S LLP Jason S.

I-ll get with Michael on the termination letter. Once it is drafted, we can verbally advise Mr. Mohesky and send him the required notice. Vernon Cox wrote: Dan, I just spoke with Mr. Mohesky. He was calling to find out the status of the closure. If he is not going to be allowed to work next week, he wants to move his equipment out to work on another job (for someone else). I told him that DENR is still determining what it is going to do regarding the closure but that he should hear something today. With regard to moving liquid between lagoons, I have contacted another firm to pump down the second lagoon by transferring the liquid to the other lagoon. He will be in there today to do that work. I discussed this with Buster Towell of DWQ and he concurred that this was a prudent measure. I prefer not to depend on Mohesky to do anything else regarding animal waste. I have talked with another contractor about the possibility of coming in to finish the closure. If the weather holds, he said he can be on site by next Thursday or Friday. The contractor I spoke with is the firm that had the second low bid on this job. I have asked the District to talk with the farmer to find out how much time we have remaining before he must be in the field to plant his crop. If we can get the other contractor in to do this job, we need Mohesky and his equipment off the site ASAP. If we can let Mohesky know something today, he can be out of the way before the other contractor moves in. Buster has said he will have the NOV written up today. Vernon Cox Dan Oakley wrote: I suggest deleting the italicized paragraph; the termination letter has not gone out yet. Hopefully, we can get it out today but that's not certain. Also, Paul may want Mohesky and/or Hale to move liquids between the 2 lagoons to help stabilize them both. I assume he would want that done today, but it would be in my opinion a "corrective action" but a contract action. Don Reuter wrote: Attached is a draft news release on the Hale Farm Incident.

Department of Environment and Natural Resources Release: IMMEDIATE Contact: Susan Massengale Date: April 15, 2005 Phone: (919) 733-7015, ext. 227 DWQ INVESTIGATES I00,000-GALLON SPILL FROM HOG FARM IN HALIFAX COUNTY RALEIGH — The N.C. Division of Water Quality is investigating a spill of about 100,000 gallons of animal waste from a former swine farm in Enfield in Halifax County. The farm, owned by Henry Earl Hale, is part of the N.C. Division of Soil and Water Conservation's swine buyout program for animal waste lagoons located within the 100-year floodplain. The program, which receives funding from the Clean Water Management Trust Fund, removes high -risk swine production operations from the 100-year floodplain and reduces potential hazard from future floods while keeping the land in agricultural use. In September 2004, DSWC purchased a 20-acre easement from Hale for $115,630 as part of the program. DSWC entered into a $33,750 contract in February 2005 with Clover M Recyclers Inc. of Sharpsburg to close out the lagoons on the site. Clover M Recyclers began the closure process Monday morning by land applying waste to fields at the farm to empty the lagoons as part of the closure process. A technician with the Fishing Creek Soil and Water Conservation District arrived to inspect the site Monday afternoon and observed a discharge from the field. He immediately directed the contractor to shut off the system and put up berms to prevent additional runoff and he then notified the Division of Water Quality. The spill ran off the farm field and into an unnamed tributary that feeds Beaver Dam Swamp, which flows to Fishing Creek in the Tar -Pamlico River Basin. DWQ inspectors estimate that 150,000 gallons of waste were pumped and approximately 100,000 gallons flowed off the application fields. DSWC and DWQ staff sampled downstream waterways on Monday afternoon and Tuesday. The results of the tests were not available as of Friday morning. Swine at the farm were removed in the spring of 2004. The wastewater from the lagoon was fairly diluted from rainfall and nitrogen levels were low, according to DWQ inspectors. As a result of the events and the ongoing investigation, the Division of Soil and Water Conservation has terminated its contract with Clover M Recyclers for the closeout work at the Hale Swine Farm. Clover M has not received any payments from the contract. The Division of Soil and Water Conservation and the Division of Water Quality are agencies in the N.C. Department -of Environment and Natural Resources.

The General Permit was issued in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733 (Session Law 2003-28). In accordance with your application received on January 1.7, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Henry Hale, 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 AWS420022 which expires October 1, 2004. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Henry Earl Hale Farm, located in Halifax County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 700 Feeder to Finish 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 September 30, 2009. Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals. Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Since this is a revised State General Permit, it contains new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the previous State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay careful attention to the record keeping and monitoring conditions in this permit.

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 1 iquid 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. Depending on the requirements of the crop and the nutrient content of the waste, some nutrients will likely be over or under applied if animal waste is being utilized. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are required if animal waste is being applied. Soil tests should be used to balance the nutrient application amounts with the realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Nutrient management plans may require that the application of animal waste be limited so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field.

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, MRCS 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). 9. 969395 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 1/29/03 Specification Page 1 n LJ Is 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. 8. 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 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 levers 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.) 700 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 1330 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 700 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 1610 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.

In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing, hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain to reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

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 259 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 1295 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 4.31666666667 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 10.36 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 254 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: 6 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts. Tract Field Soil Type Crop Application Rate (in/hr) Applic.

In many situations, the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for 180.00 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6.00 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to 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. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION Page: 7 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 cne 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.

This inspection is a part of the Division's effort to determine compliance with the State's Animal, Waste Management Regulations. Mr. Towell's site visit 'determined that wastewater from your facility was not actively discharging to the surface waters of the State, nor were any manmade pipes, ditches, or other prohibited conveyances (for the purpose of willfully discharging wastewater) observed. However, as a result of the inspection, the following deficiency was observed: A small amount of wastewater was leaking from a distribution box located at the rear of the confinement house. This waste had made its way into the diversion ditch but had not yet reached the main ditch designed to carry excess rainfall away from your lagoon area and into the adjacent swamp. The above matter should be addressed to prevent the possibility of an illegal discharge. Please respond to this Notice within 30 days of receipt. You should include in your response the actions that you will take to address these deficiencies. 38M Barrett Drive, Suite IoI, �`w- FAX 919-571-4718 Raleigh, North Carolina 27609 Cr An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer Voice 919-571-4700 Wk recycled/1[P/o post -Consumer paper Mr. Henry Earl Hale Page 2 This office would like to remind you that you are required to submit an approved animal waste Management plan by December 31, 1997, or you may choose to submit a closure plan for this facility.

Dear Mr. Hale: You are hereby notified that, having been deemed permitted to have a nondischarge permit for the subject animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0217, you have been found to be in violation of your 2H .0217 Permit. On July 24, 1995, Mr. Buster Towell of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted an inspection at your facility that revealed a discharge of animal waste via an emergency spillway from your lagoon into a tributary to Beaverdam Swamp which is classified as C Sw NSW waters of the Tar -Pamlico River Basin. In accordance with the requirements of NCAC 211.0213, you are hereby given notice that sixty (60) days following your receipt of this letter, the Division of Environmental Management intends to revoke your permit unless the following conditions are completed: 1. Immediately eliminate the discharge of wastewater or correct the violation. 2. Make any modifications needed to ensure there will be no future discharges. 3. Submit an approved animal waste management plan and have the attached certification form completed. One copy of the plan must be sent to your local Soil and Water Conservation District. The certification form and two (2) copies of your plan must be returned to the address below: Division of Environmental Management Water Quality Section Operations Branch P.O.

Your approved animal waste management plan must explain how you will collect, store, treat and land apply your animal waste in an environmentally acceptable manner. To assist you in the development of this plan and to provide the required certification that the plan is acceptable, you should contact your local agricultural agencies such as the Soil and Water Conservation District, the USDA Natural Resource Conservation Service, the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service or a technical specialist designated pursuant to the rules adopted by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission. If we have not received the requested animal waste management plan and certification within 60 days of receipt of this letter or if there are additional discharges to the surface water a civil penalty of up to $10,000 may be assessed and you may be required to apply for an individual nondischarge permit from the Division. This permit, if issued, will contain monitoring and reporting requirements determined to be necessary by the Division. Although we will make every effort to work with you in correcting the problems found at your facility, please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as preventing the Division from taking appropiate enforcement actions for either these violations or other past or future violations. If you have any questions concerning this matter please do not hesitate to contact either Judy Garrett, Water Quality Regional Supervisor for our Raleigh Regional Office at (919) 571-4700 or Mr. Shannon Langley at (919) 733-5083, ext. 581.

NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 700 hogs design capacity 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 content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infilitration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre- cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to inject the waste in' the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating waste are not the same.' The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage require- ments should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. .

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 259 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 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 6 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be within 1.6 feet of the top of the dike. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 5 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 amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.

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 Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either has 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 the wind is blowing. 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 no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 10. Oaste 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. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (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 wasters, drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands 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 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. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. 18. 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. 19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and imple- menting a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 20. 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. _ PAGE 7 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 8 "TAME OF FARM: OWNER / MANAGER AGREEMENT I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specifications and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the ap- proved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above.

During the inspection, a small amount of animal waste was observed by Mr. Towell leaving the lagoons. At the time of the inspection, a new lagoon had been completed, however Mr. Hale was waiting for delivery of the pump to transfer waste from the primary lagoon to the secondary lagoon. As of this date, the new pump has been installed and the primary lagoon level is 1 1/2' below the top of the dam as required. Also, Mr. Hale and the farm manager have developed a waste plan to apply the waste to fescue pasture at approved agronomic rates. The actions taken by Mr. Hale have corrected the discharge problem and will prevent any further discharges. Mr. Hale is operating within Natural Resources Conservation Service guidelines.

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. Waite 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 content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infilitration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre- cautlons, 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 ruHoff to surEac;e watc:r.s which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wand 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. '111: t; 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 Lo inject the waste id the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating waste are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage require- ments should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Actual total acran in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich acid will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will, produce approximately 259 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. ]:Tease be aware that additional acres of land, as well special equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge. See 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 6 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be within 1.6 feet of the top of the dike. t WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 5 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 7. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.

If the producer does not own ;►c: oguate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a dopy 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, i:ic 1-.1 iod nl__ 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 Chan 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will. he used where runoff leaves the field. These filter stui.ps will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. (See FO`I'G 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 the wind is blowing. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil .incorporated on conventionally tilled ed 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. Li.qui.d 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. E3. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9.

Box 29535 Raleigh, N.C. 27626-0535 Dear Mr. Howard, I am writing to inform you of the condition of the waste management facilities of the Henry Earl Hale and Ray Batchelor farms. Henry, Earl Hale has installed an above ground secondary wA'• treatment hole with six months storage. He has seeded grass and pastureland to handle his waste and has a notarized statement from Mr. Mohesky, the swine operation manager, that he has an irrigation reel available and will , pump the waste on the grassland at approved rates when proper storage level is reached. The only thing keeping us from being able to certify Mr. Hale's facility at the present is the solids in the primary lagoon. Mr. Hale has already got a contractor lined up to pump his solids out and get back his original lagoon volume. The weather has been the hold up with unsuitable wetness for land application of the agitated solids. As soon as the weather allows the hole will be cleaned out and we will be able to certify Mr. Hales:plan. Mr. Ray Batchelor has sown all his land to approved 42.67 quitenansurplusapproved land. Heannual haagrasses sown and fencedgoutns with thirty- five feet buffers along cattle feedlots and one hundred feet buffers up drains. He has six months lagoon and temporary storage volume in his swine waste management system and more than enough land seeded out to apply his waste. He has both cool and warm season grasses and cover established. Mr. Batchelor has the irrigation reel and equipment necessary to apply his waste at the proper time and agronomic rates. He only has to stabilize a couple of bare and eroding areas along the back slopes of his lagoon. We have set up February 7, 1996 to complete his certified waste management plan. The late date was because of my schedule and not his, n i If you will just bare with us a while longer we will have both of these operations certified. The delay has been beyond their control and not from a lack of trying. We are working closely with them to finish their plans as soon as possible. .� Sincerely, t Wayne hort District Conservationist jws: j R September 14, 1995 v SQ Kenneth Schuster, P.E. lF�cy DEHNR 3800 Barrett Drive, Suite 101. Raleigh, NC 27609 lOF'ri Dear Schuster,' On July 24, 1995, Mr. Buster Towell inspected the facility of Mr. Henry Earl Hale. During the inspection, a small amount of animal waste was observed by Mr. Towell leaving the lagoon. At the time of the inspection, a new lagoon had been completed, however Mr. Hale was waiting for delivery of the pump to transfer waste from the primary lagoon to the secondary lagoon. As of this date, the new pump has been installed and the primary lagoon level is 1 1/2' below the top of the dam as required. Also, Mr. Hale and the farm manager have developed a waste plan to apply the waste to fescue pasture at approved agronomic rates. The actions taken by Mr. Hale have corrected the discharge problem and will prevent any further discharges. Mr. Hale is operating within Natural Resources Conservation Service guidelines.

Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infilitration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre- cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting.

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. 19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and imple- menting a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 20. 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.

During the inspection, a small amount of animal waste was observed by Mr. Towell leaving the lagoon. At the time of the inspection, a new lagoon had been completed, however Mr. Hale was waiting for delivery of the pump to transfer waste from the primary lagoon to the secondary lagoon. As of this date, the new pump has been installed and the primary lagoon level is 1 1/2, below the top of the dam as required. Also, Mr. Hale and the farm manager have developed a waste plan to apply the waste to fescue pasture at approved agronomic rates. The actions taken by Mr. Hale have corrected the discharge problem and will prevent any further discharges. Mr. Hale is operating within Natural Resources Conservation Service guidelines. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. Sincerely, Aen.rl ale Landown r . Wayne hart District Conservationist CC: 'Buster Towell Jeff Dillard, Halifax Co. Health Dept.

This inspection is a part of the Division's efforts to determine potential problems associated with liquid waste collection and disposal systems from confined animal operations. The inspection revealed a discharge of animal waste from your lagoon spillway. This waste ran overland and into a ditch that is an unnamed_ tributary to Beaverdam Swamp in the Tar -Pamlico River Basin. The above referenced discharge is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 (a) which states: 143--215. 1 ( a ) " No person shall do any of the following things or carry out any of the following activities until or unless such person shall have applied for and received from the Commission a permit therefor and shall have complied with such conditions, if any as are prescribed by such permit. 1.

An individual non discharge permit is not required if certain criteria are met. A major requirement to be deemed permitted is that there must not be a discharge of any wastewater from the operation to the waters of the State. This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and notification that your animal operation has been found discharging wastewater to the surface waters of the State and is therefore no longer deemed permitted as a nondischarge facility under 15A NCAC 2H .0217. Therefore the existing wastewater treatment system serving your animal operation is currently being operated without a permit as required by North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1. On July 24, 1995, Mr. Buster Towell of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted an inspection at your facility that revealed a discharge of animal waste via an emergency spillway from your lagoon into a tributary to Beaverdam Swamp which is classified as C Sw NSW waters of the Tar -Pamlico River Basin. If you wish to be reconsidered for coverage by the deemed permitted provision of the Rule, you must: 1) immediately eliminate the discharge of wastewater;2) make any modifications needed to ensure there will be no future discharges;3) send in an approved animal waste management plan by completing the attached certification form.

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. Depending on the requirements of the crop and the nutrient content of the waste, some nutrients will likely be over or under applied if animal waste is being utilized. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are required if animal waste is being applied. Soil tests should be used to balance the nutrient application amounts with the realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Nutrient management plans may require that the application of animal waste be limited so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field.

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 14 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). 133738 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 5/20/03 Specification Papze 1 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. 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. 133738 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 5/20/03 Specification Page 2 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. 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. 133738 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 5/20/03 Specification Page 3 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. 133738 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 5/20/03 Specification Page 4 Crop Notes The following crop note applies to field(s): 12, 15, 16, 37 Corn: CP, Mineral Soil, medium leaching In the Coastal Plain, corn is normally planted when soil temperatures reach 52 to 55 degrees fahrenheit_ Review the Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions.

Plant populations should be determined by the hybrid being planted. Increase the seeding rate by 10% when planting no -till. Phosphorus and potassium recommended by a soil test can be broadcast or banded at planting. When planting early in cool, wet soil, banded phosphorus will be more available to the young plants. An accepted practice is to apply 20-30 lbs/acre N and 20-301bs/acre phosphorus banded as a starter and one-half the remaining N behind the planter. The rest of the N should be applied about 30-40 days after emergence. The total amount of is dependent on soil type.
