Land Quality Section
From: Buster Towell, Environmental TechnicianAi—
Subject; Tom Hollowell Swine Farm\Northampton County
on March 26, 1996, an inspection was conducted at the above
referenced swine operation located on SR 1300 near the junction of
SR 1328 (Mt Zion Church Rd.) in Northampton County.
The facility had adequate. freeboard due to the fact that the
lagoon had recently been pumped and was rated as compliant with the
NCAC .0217 regulations. There was however a potential problem
noted with what appeared to be lagoon seepage due to burrowing
rodent activity.
With this MEMO the RRO Water Quality Section requests that someone
with.:,,your Section evaluate the situation and possibly make
recommendations to the land owner.
Please find attached copies of photos taken on the subject
inspection date, a location map, and the names and addresses of the
land.owner.
If you need.additional information please see Buster Towell.

This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites., This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRRI, IRR.2, DRYI, DRY2, DRY3, SLURI, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any Staie Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the
DWQ staff at (919) 733-5083 ext. 571.

Subject: Compliance Evaluation
Facility # 66-38
Northampton County
Dear Mr. Hollowell:
Inspection
On October 24, 1996, Mr. Buster Towell from the Raleigh Regional
office conducted a compliance inspection of the subject animal
facility. 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
lagoon had more than the required amount of freeboard. As a result
of the inspection the facility was found to be 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. For a
listing of certified technical specialists or assistance with your
waste m ' anagement plan you should contact your local Soil and Water
Conservation District office.

Dear Mr. Hollowell:
Inspection
On October 24, 1996, Mr. Buster Towell from the Raleigh Regional
Of f ice conducted a compliance inspection of the subject animal
facility. This inspection is part of the Division's efforts to
determine compliance with the State's animal waste hondischarge
rules.
The inspection determined that the swine operation was not
discharging wastewater into waters of the State and that the waste
lagoon had more than the required amount of freeboard. As a result
of the inspection the facility was found to be 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. For a
listing of certified technical specialists or assistance with your
waste management plan you should contact your local Soil and Water
Conservation District office.

Dear Mr. Glover:
On July 24, 1995, Mr. Buster Towell from the Raleigh Regional
Of f ice conducted a compliance inspection of the subject animal
facility. This inspection is part of the Division's efforts to
determine potential problems associated with liquid waste disposal
systems.
Mr. Towell's site visit determined that wastewater from your
facility was not 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
deficiencies were observed;
-Your lagoon has.very little freeboard, less than 6 inches in
some areas. This problem should receive prompt attention in
order to prevent a future discharge or a lagoon breach.
-An excessive amount of uncontained waste was observed
discharging to an adjacent downhill slope from your lagoon.
This problem must be permanently corrected.
In addition to continued waste facility management, these
deficiencies must be immediately addressed to help prevent the
possibility of an illegal discharge. The Raleigh Regional Office
will require a written response to the aforementioned issues within
30 days of receipt of this letter. You should specifically address
how you plan to correct these problems and submit a schedule (with
dates) stating when these management deficiencies will be
corrected.

Subject; Tom Hollowell Swine Farm\Northampton County
On March 26, 1996, an inspection was conducted at the above
referenced swine operation located on SR 1300 near the junction of
SR 1328 (Mt Zion Church Rd.) in Northampton County.
The facility had adequate. freeboard due to the fact that the
lagoon had�recently been pumped and was rated as compliant with the
NCAC .0217 regulations. There was however a potential problem
noted with what appeared to be lagoon seepage due to burrowing
rodent activity.
With this MEMO the RRO Water Quality Section requests that someone
with ,�,;,your Section evaluate the situation and possibly make
recommendations to the land owner.
Please find attached copies of photos taken on the subject
inspection date, a location map, and the names and addresses of the
land -owner.

Itodents such as the groundhog (wood-
chuck), muskrat, and beaver are attract -
ed to dams and reservoirs. and can be
rity and proper performance of the embankment
and spillway. Groundhog and muskrat burrows
weaken the embankment and can serve as path-
ways for seepage. Beavers may plug the spillway
and raise the pool level. Rodent control is essential
in preserving a well -maintained dam.
The Groundhog or Woodchuck
The groundhog is the largest member of the
squirrel family. Its coarse fur is a grizzled grayish
brown with a reddish cast. Typical foods include
grasses, clover, alfalfa, soybeans, peas. lettuce,
and apples. Breeding takes place during early
spring (beginning at the age of one y,3ar) with an
average of four or five young per litter, one litter
per year. The average life expectancy is two or
three years with a maximum of six years.
Occupied groundhog burrows are easily recog-
nized in the spring duetothe groundhog's habitof
keeping them "cleaned out," Fresh dirt is generally
found at the mouth of active burrows. Half -round
mounds, paths leading from the den to nearby
fields, and clawed or girdled trees and shrubs also
help identify inhabited burrows and dens,
When burrowing into an embankment, ground-
hogs stay above the phreatic surface (upper sur-
face of seepage or saturation) to stay dry. The
burrow is rarely a singletunnel. It is usuallyforked,
with more than one entrance and with several side
passages or rooms from 11-to-12 feet long.
Groundhog Control
Control methods should be implemented during
early spring when active burrows are easy to find,
young groundhogs have not scattered, and there
is less likelihood of damage to other wildlife. In
later summer, fall, and winter, game animals will
scurry into groundhog burrowsfor brief protection
and may even take up permanent abode during the
period of groundhog hibernation.
Groundhogs can be controlled by using fumi-
gants or by shooting. Fumigation is the most
practical method of controlling groundhogs.
Around buildings or other high fire hazard areas,
shooting may be preferable, Groundhogs will be
discouraged from inhabiting the embankment if
the vegetal cover is kept mowed.
Muskrat
The muskrat is a stocky rodent with a broad
head, short legs, small eyes, and rich dark brown
fur. Muskrats are chiefly nocturnal, Their principal
food includes stems, roots, bulbs, and foliage of
aquatic plants. They also feed on snails, mussels,
crustaceans, insects, and fish. Usually three to five
litters, averaging six to eight young per litter, are
produced each year. Adult muskrats average one
foot in length and three pounds in weight. The life
expectancy is less than two years, with a maximum
of four years. Muskrats can be found wherever
there are marshes, swamps, ponds, lakes, and
streams having calm or very slowly moving water
with vegetation in the water and along the banks.
Muskrats make their homes by burrowing into
the banks - of lakes and streams -or by building
"houses" of rushes and other plants. Their burrows
begin from 6 to 18 inches below the water surface
and penetrate the embankment on an upward
slant. At distances up to 15 feet from the entrance.
a dry chamber is hollowed out above the water
level. Once a muskratclen is occupied, a rise in the
water level will cause the muskrat to dig farther
and higher to excavate a new dry chamber. Dam-
age (and the potential for problems) is com-
pounded where groundhogs or other burrowing
animals construct their dens in the embankment
opposite muskrat dens.
Barriers to prevent burrowing offer the most
practical protection to earthen structures. A pro-
perly constructed riprap and filter layer will dis-
courage burrowing. The filter and riprap should
extend at least 3 feet below the water line. As the
muskrat attempts to construct a burrow, the sand
and gravel of the filter layer cave in and thus dis-
courage den building. Heavy wire fencing laid flat
against the slope and extending above and below
the waterline can also be effective. Eliminating or
reducing aquatic vegetation along the shoreline

Eliminating a Burrow
The recommended method of backfilling a bur-
row on an embankment is mud -packing, This sim-
ple, inexpensive method can be accomplished by
placing one or two lengths of metal stove or vent
pipe in a vertical position over the entrance of the
den. Making sure that the pipe connection to the
den does not feak, the mud -pack mixture is then
poured into the pipe until the burrow and pipe are
filled with the earth -water mixture. The pipe is
removed and dry earth is tamped into the entrance.
The mud -pack is made by adding water to a 90
percent earth and 10 percent cement mixture until
a slurry orthin cement consistency is attained. All
entrancesshouid bepluggedwith well -compacted
earth, and vegetation re-established. Dens should
be eliminated without delay because damage from
just one hole can lead to failure of a dam.
Beaver
Beaver will try to plug spillways with their
cuttings. Routinely removing the cuttings is one
way to alleviate the problem, Another successful
remedy is the placement of electrically charged
wire or wires around the spillway inlet, Trapping
beaver may be done by the owner during the
appropriate season.

However, as a result of the inspection, the following
deficiencies were observed:
-Your lagoon has very little freeboard, less than 6 inches in
some areas. This problem should receive prompt attention in
order to prevent a future discharge or a lagoon breach.
-An excessive amount of uncontained waste was observed
discharging at the back corner of your lagoon. This problem
must be permanently corrected.
In addition to continued waste facility management, these
deficiencies must be immediately addressed to help prevent the
possibility of an illegal discharge. The Raleigh Regional Office
will require a written response to the aforementioned issues within
30 days of receipt of this letter. You should specifically address
how you plan to correct these problems and submit a schedule (with
dates) stating when these management deficiencies will be
corrected.

Dear Mr. Schuster,
I am responding to your letter dated August 2, 1995 in regard to the subject of the
Swine operation lagoon. Sir, my wife explained to Mr. Towell that due to the unexpected
heavy and continuos rainfall we could not keep the lagoon pumped down.
As soon as the ground dried out we pumped the lagoon down on July 18. This
allowed us to get our free board down to over one and a half feet and this stopped the
discharging at the back comer of the lagoon.
We also asked our Soil Conservationist about our problem and said that we only
needed to pump the lagoon down to provide for the freeboard needed for proper lagoon
management.
Sincerely,
1�� I- "

Under the authority delegated to me by the Secretary of the Department of Environment

lagoon that occurred at your farm during February of this year. Because you promptly reported
the high freeboard level and made every reasonable effort to solve the problems with your
irrigation equipment, I have decided not to assess a civil penalty in this case.
The Division of Water Quality appreciates your efforts to operate your farm in

Dear Mr. Schuster,
I am writing in response to the notice of violation that I received on March 21, 2000 concern-
ing farms 66-38 and 66-83 in Northampton County. The reason for there being little freeboard
was a mechanical problem with my irrigation system on January 13, 2000, 1 immediately con-
tacted my Long manufacturing dealer, Thomas Pope, to order parts for my 1979 Long irriga-
tion reel. I called Mr. Pope several times concerning my order and he assured me that he had
ordered the parts. On February 16, nearly a month later, the parts finally arrived. My son and
I installed the parts on the eighteenth; however, due to faulty parts, the system broke down
again and again,
On Tuesday, February 22 1 called Buster Towell and left him a message pertaining to my lack
of freeboard. He came on February 24 to confirm the problem. I explained to Mt. Towell that
I was unable to reduce my lagoon level due to equipment failure and the wet ground. I also in-
formed him that I had just returned from the bank to acquire financing for a new irrigation reel
from Revelles Agri Products.
Mr. Towell told me that he appreciated that I was trying to follow the law by contacting him
about my freeboard problem. He also informed me that I needed to obtain assistance from the
local NRCS technical specialist, Tony Short and that I had to have a plan of action within 24
hours for farms 66-83 and 66-38. f told him that I would contact Mr. Short the next morning.
On February 25, 1 contacted Mr. Short to obtain a plan of action as part of the requirement for
my freeboard problem. Mr. Short said that he had been out of town for several days due to a
family illness and had only briefly seen the fax regarding the requirements. He instructed me
to irrigate my lagoons back down to a safe level following my waste management plan. On
that same day, I called Revells Agri Products and inquired about renting an irrigation reel. Mr.
Bill Stalls called me back and informed me that the had a reel that I could rent. I picked the
I
reel up on Saturday to get my lagoon back to a safe level.
The following week I called Mr. Short to tell him that I had followed his recommendation to
get the lagoon back to a safe level.
I was offended vAth receiving a notice of violation when I followed the law. I did as I was in-
structed to do. Mr. Short has informed me that he will take responsibility for this action and
has sent me a letter, which I have included with this letter, explaining why he could not assist
me with a 24-hour plan of action.
f feel that I am being punished for following the law. I realize that f am responsible for main-
taining freeboard, but the circumstances that prevented me from doing this were beyond my
control. I do not understand why I was sent a notice of violation. I hope that you will review
this action and find that I did as I was instructed, f would appreciate it if this improper action
would be removed from my files.
Thank you for taking the time to read this letter.
Sincerely,
(,^e j -C j

Dear Mr. Schuster,
I am writing this letter on behalf of Mr. Tom Hollowell and Mr.
Waylon Baugham, Jr. Both have received Notices of Violations from
your office (66-38, 66-83, and 66-55).
Mr. Hollowell called me on the morning of Friday, February 25 Ih and
informed me that he had to have a plan within 24 hours.
I had been out of the office on Thursday the 24'h dealing with a
family illness. A fax was sent to our office on that Thursday
regarding the requirements in this 24-hour plan. I only briefly read
the requirements having just seen the material. Later that morning
Mr. Baugham's son and wife came into my office requesting the 24-
hour plan. I told Mr. Hollowell and the Baughams that there was no
way that I could do these plans within 24 hours. That day I had
scheduled with our Area Engineer to visit 8 pond sites to be repaired
under the Emergency Conservation Program (ECP). We had
attempted to schedule this meeting for over two months. So it was
physically impossible for me to visit these sites and write these plans
within the 24-hour time period.
I told Mr. Hollowell and Mr. Baugham that I accept responsibility for
this action. I am the only technical specialist in this office; therefore
I was the only one available to write their plans. And I noted to them
that a site visit was needed to adequately write the plans.
The Natural Resource% Conservation Service, it, age,icy orthe USDA, ismi Equal Opportunity Employer.
my recommendation to both of them was to pu mp their lagoons
clown to a safe level. This would be done under their original waste
management plans.
The following week, they both reported that the lagoon levels were
down and that no runoff occurred from the lagoons or from the
spray fields.
I have discussed this matter with BusterTowell and with my
supervisor, Bill Harrell in Goldsboro. Bill indicated that we had
teleconference training on this special plan writing which was
conducted byCarroll Pierce. Again I was not here to receive that
training because of personal matters. Bill asked if I had since written
a plan. I told him that I had not- my understanding was that the plan
ha d to be done m(I thi n the 24- hour tj me Peri od.
I want to assure you that I take full responsibility for these actions.
These landowners did as they were directed. I believe that it would
be unfa i r to 1 mpos; e a nythi ng u Pon them. I a m pre pa red to meet
with you or with any other persons necessary to clear up this matter.

Dear Mr. Hollowell:
On February 22, 2000, the Raleigh Regional Office received a message via

of available freeboard in its waste lagoon. On Thursday, February 24, 2000, Mr.
Buster Towell of the Raleigh Regional Office visited the site and confirmed that the
amount of freeboard was as reported.
During the site visit, Mr. Towell advised you to seek assistance from your local Soil
and Water Conservation District to help you develop 4 24 hour Plan of Action
(POA) to aid you in manage'ing your wastewater from your facility. As of this
writing the Raleigh Regional Office has not received a POA ftom you pertaining to
this facility.
Please note that the lack of available freeboard in your lagoon is considered a
violation of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP), and as
such may be subject to civil penalties.
The Raleigh Regional Office is considereing an enforcement action against you for
the above violations of your Certified Animal Waste Manaement Plan. If you have
justification that these violations were caused by circumstances or events beyond
your control you should include them with your written response within fourteen
days of your receipt of this Notice. Your response will be reviewed and for -warded
to the Director for his considerations. In the absence of any justification, the
Director will proceed with the enforcement action.

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface
and/or ground water. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of
commercial fertilizer required for the crops on 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. Always apply waste
based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more
nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, 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 precautions, waste may be
applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils or on land
when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters. 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
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.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of
facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management
facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste
samples to the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 1 5A NCAC 2H.0217
adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.
This plan has been developed to provide the necessary documentation that there is adequate land available
to land apply the necessary waste water that will be generated by rainfall accumulating in the existing swine
waste lagoon while ZERO HOGS are housed at the facility for any one year period. The volume of rainwater
has been calculated using the most excessive 150 day accumulation of water less evaporation then
extrapolated for a full year. This will over estimate the actual accumulated water for normal years however it
will provide extra protection for above normal rainfall years.
It is estimated that 451,785 gallons will accumulate with approximately .74
pounds of nitrogen per 1000 gallons annually. This will generate 334.32 ponds
of nitrogen that will be removed as a function of removing the excess rainfall
water. It will be necessary to continue to pull samples for testing of the
waste water to monitor the future nitrogen content. It is expected that over
time the nitrogen content will begin to decline slightly due to no additional
waste being added.
It will be very important to continue to observe the temp. storage levels and
plan to manage the needed pumping to keep water out of the freeboard area. You
should also consider and plan for wet seasons and hurricane season.
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.

Pulls A,D and E will handle 4530 pounds of nitrogen annually. With ZERO HOGS at
the facility an estimated 334.32 pounds of residual nitrogen will be pumped out
on to the receiving fields as part of removing the excess rain water for a
period of one year. The owner will close the facility as soon as cost share
funds are available to assist with the closure. There are ample acres of
pasture and hay land available to handle the waste annually until the closure is
carried out.
The small grain winter cover on pull A was not included in the nitrogen
calculation total however it will remain as a open option.
* This N is from animal waste only. If nutrients from other sources such as commercial fertilizer are applied,
they must be accounted for. N must be based on realistic yield expectation. -
NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements,
This plan only addresses Nitrogen.
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,

This table is not needed if waste is not being applied by irrigation, however a similar table will be needed for
dry litter or sludge,
Your facility is designed for 150 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on
the average of once every 5 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your
structure exceed Elevation 98.6.
Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service or the Northampton Soil and Water Conservation
District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount per acre
to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.
Narrative of Operation: This swine operation has been depopulated and is in the process of
obtaining closure assistance. This plan has been developed to provide the owner guidance to
manage the existing swine waste lagoon until the lagoon closure is completed.
Waste will be applied to bermuda, fescue. Grazing means intensive grazing, to get grazing not intensive
grazing use 75% of the hay rate. If the cows are remove from the pastures there will still be excessive lend
for waste disposal,
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 a notarized 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 a notarized agreement with a landowner who is within a
reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste
application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to
secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change
in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of
utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet but not exceed, the Nitrogen
needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture,
historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless
there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other
nutrients. Actual yields may be used in lieu of realistic yield tables
at the discretion of the planner.
4. Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding less than 5 ton per
acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at more
than 5 tons but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass
filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field.
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste
application, Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift
from the irrigation field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it
will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When
applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be
broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season
prone to flooding. (See "Weather and climate in N.C." for guidance.)
7. Liquid Waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil
infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur off site 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 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 depth that would
prohibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste
should also be considered.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring
planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste
nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and
a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients.
Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a
crop 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
any perennial stream or river other than an irrigation ditch or canal.
Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after
October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to 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 from
wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings
other than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and
public right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways
or wetlands by a discharge or by overspraying. Animal waste may be
applied to prior converted cropland provided it has been approved
as a land applications site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste
applied on grassed waterways shall be at agronomic rates and in a
manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers.
toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste
management system. I
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. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected
regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
18. If animal production at the facility is to be or terminated,
the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure
plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge,
pollution and erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be
inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills,
A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and
other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is
used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied
preplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop
season.
21, Highly visible permanent markers shall be installed to mark the top and
bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all
waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the
liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark
the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds.
22. Soil tests shall be made every two years and a liquid waste analysis
be taken at least twice each year consistent with waste utilization
plan. Poultry litter shall be tested prior to application. Soil
and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC regulations.

INDIVIDUAL SWINE ANIMAL WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM PERMIT
In accordance with the provisions of Article 21 of Chapter 143, General Statutes of North Carolina as
amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
Am B. Hollowell
Northampton County
FOR THE
continued operation and maintenance of an animal waste management system for the Hollowell Farm,
located in Northampton County, consisting of zero (0) Swine and the application to land as specified in
the Facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until June 30, 2014 and shall be subject to the
following specified conditions and limitations:
1. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The animal waste management system operated under this Permit shall be effectively
maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent the discharge of pollutants
to surface waters, wetlands, or ditches. Application of waste to terraces and grassed
waterways is acceptable as long as it is applied in accordance with Natural Resources
Conservation Service (NRCS) Standards and does not result in a discharge of waste to
surface waters, wetlands, or ditches. If the Facility has a discharge of waste that reaches
surface, waters or wetlands resulting from a storm event more severe than a 25 -year, 24-
hour storm, it will not be considered to be in violation of this Permit, as long as the
Facility is in compliance with its CAWMP and this Permit.
2. No discharge of waste shall result in a violation of the water quality standards established
for receiving waters as per Title 15 A, Subehapter 2B, Section .0200 of the North Carolina
Administrative Code (NCAQ and Title 15A, Subchapter 2L of the NCAC.
The facility's CAWMP is hereby incorporated by reference into this Permit. The
CAWMP must be consistent with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances, and standards
(federal, state and local) in effect at the time of siting, design, and certification of the
Facility.
0 0
4. Any proposed increase or modification to the annual average that exceeds the thresholds
set by North Carolina General Statues (NCOS) 143-215.1 OB(l) will require a
modification to the CAWMP and the Perinit prior to modification of the Facility.
5. Animal waste shall not be applied within one hundred (100) feet of any well, with the
exception of monitoring wells. The allowable distance to monitoring wells shall be
established on a case -by -case basis by the Division.
H. 'OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The collection, treatment, and storage facilities, and the land application equipment and
fields shall be properly operated properly and maintained at all times.
2. A vegetative cover shall be maintained as specified in the Facility's CAWMP on all land
application fields and buffers in accordance with the CAWMP. No waste shall be
applied upon areas not included in the CAWMP.
Soil pH on all land application fields must be maintained in the optimum range for crop
production.
Land application rates shall be in accordance with the CAWMP. In no case shall land
application rates exceed the agronomic rate of the nutrient of concern for the receiving
crop. In no case shall land application rates result in excessive ponding or any runoff
during any given application event.
If manure or sludges are applied on conventionally tilled, bare, soil, the waste shall be
incorporated into the soil within two (2) days after application on the land. This
requirement does not apply to no -till fields, pastures, or fields where crops are actively
growing.
6. Pesticides, toxic chemicals, and petroleum products shall not be disposed of in the animal
waste management system.
Domestic and/or industrial wastewater from showers, toilets, sinks, etc. shall not be
discharged into the animal waste management system. Wasbdown of stock trailers
owned by and used to transport animals to and from the Facility only will be permissible
as long as the system has been evaluated and approved to accommodate the additional
