Harris Governor Director MEMORANDUM Date: September 28, 2009 To: Animal Waste Technical Specialists and Permitted Animal Operations From: Vernon N. Cox, Chair 1217 Interagency Animal Waste Committee Subject: Change to Irrigation System Calibration Requirements Dee Freeman Secretary On September 25`" 2009, the 1217 Interagency Animal Waste Committee modified its calibration requirements for animal waste irrigation systems by deleting the requirement that application uniformity must be field verified at least once every three years using the "catch can" method for determining application uniformity. This change in guidance is based on study results provided by Dr. Garry Grabow of the NC State University Department of Biological and Agricultural Engineering. The study results indicate that field verification of operating pressure, wetted diameter and flow rate provides sufficient evidence of application uniformity when these measured variables are within acceptable ranges. For your reference, I am including a copy of the revised guidance for calibration requirements of animal waste irrigation systems. Producers should contact their technical specialist if they have additional questions regarding this subject. Enclosure 1614 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1614 Phone: 919-733-23D21 FAX: 919-715-35591 Internet: www.enr.state.nc.us/DSWC An Equal Opportunity 1 Affrmative Acdon Employer Carolina All1mrallij r r- F 0 0 6.6 Calibration Requirements All waste application equipment, including irrigation systems, hose drag systems, honey wagons, and solid spreaders must be field tested and calibrated to verify operating performance and application amount. Field calibration to verify application amount is required once a year for NPDES permitted and once every other year for state permitted operations. Irrigation Systems - calibration involves field verification of 1) operating pressure, 2) wetted diameter, 3) flow rate, and 4) application uniformity. The minimum calibration performance requirements for irrigation systems are: 1. Operating pressure at the sprinkler/gun must be verified using a properly functioning pressure gauge and observed to be operating within the range recommended by the manufacturer or specified in the irrigation design documentation for the equipment being calibrated. 2. Wetted diameter of the system being field calibrated must be measured as described in NCCES Irrigated Acreage Determination publications AG -553-6 or AG- 553-7 and observed to be within 15% of the wetted diameter reported in the manufacturer's chart for the operating pressure observed in (1), AND 3. Flow rate must be determined to be within 10% of the value specified in the irrigation design documentation or as was.determined during the wettable/effective irrigated acre determination. Flow rate shall be determined using EITHER - a. Flow rate from manufacturer's chart for the measured pressure at the sprinkler/gun (item 1) and measured sprinkler/gun orifice diameter, OR b. Flow rate measured with an approved, calibrated flow meter. 4. Application unifoERlily is deemed to be acceptable when items I — 3 above are within the ranges specified. Note: Note: Flow rate to be reported in column 6 of IRR -2 (item 3 above) should not be calculated from "catch can" measurements as described in NCCES field calibration publications AG -553-1, Ag -553-2 or AG- 553-3. The catch can method cannot be used to compute flow rate for IRR -2 because this results in a "double counting" of the evaporative PAN losses during the irrigation process. Hose Drag Systems - should be field calibrated by measuring ground speed and effective applicator width as outlined in NCCES publication AG -634, and flow rate using a flow meter as described in 3b above. The application rate can be determined from tables presented in AG -634 and should be verified against application rates specified in the WUP. Solid Spreaders — should be field calibrated using the Weight -Area Method as described in NCCES publication AG -5534. Honey Wagons — Liquid and semi-solid application equipment should be field calibrated using the Load Area Method as described in NCCES publication AG -553-5.

Your waste storage structures are in good condition and functioning as designed. Your recordkeeping was in good order and well kept. As we discussed, I will be update your Waste Utilization Plan to show the PAN to be applied to corn silage and small grain separately. I should have this completed by the end of November, 2009. Again, thanks for help with the review and for your efforts to improve water quality in Willow and Sandy Mush Creeks.

Also, please review your WUP with Buncombe County Soil & Water. The nitrogen requirement for winter wheat is not included in the plan. The Wettable Acres (5.145 ac) for Tract T3407 Field 6 does not match the Useable Acres(10,0) shown in the plan. Thank you for taking the time to meet with me. Please see the Inspection Report (inspection Summary Page 2) for additional comments/observations.

Wells Farm — Facility # 11-10 Buncombe County On September 20, 2007, 1 conducted a routine Compliance Inspection of the animal waste handling system for the Aubrey N. Wells Farm. The operation and maintenance of the farm appeared to be very good. One record keeping issue that should be addressed is your PAN calculations. It appears that you have used the actual acres rather than the useable acres to calculate PAN balances. PAN balances should be re -calculated in those instances where actual acres were used. As a reminder, your waste application equipment requires calibration once every two years after initial calibration. Your equipment was calibrated in 2005 and therefore should be calibrated again this year. Thank you for taking the time to meet"with me.

Soil Analysis: 7/10/2007 #20 - Mr. Wells indicated that dead cows are also taken to the county landfill. Landfill should be added as an option on the Mortality checklist. #21 - IRR -2 Form - A new form should be used for each year. SLD -2 Form - Spot checks were done on PAN calculations. It appears that PAN calculations were done using the actual acres rather than useable acres. In those cases where actual acres were used, PAN calcualtions should be re -calculated. #24 - Waste application equipment was calibrated in October 2005. Calibration is required every other year, therefore your equipment should be calibrated in 2007. Farm appears to be well maintained.

Wells Farm 290 Willow Creek Road Leicester, North Carolina 28748 Subject: Compliance Inspection Animal Waste Handling System Aubrey N. Wells Farm — Facility # 11-10 Buncombe County Dear Mr. Wells: On September 10, 2004, 1 conducted a routine Compliance Inspection of the animal waste handling system for the Aubrey N. Wells Farm. The holding pond liquid level was in the storm storage area due to heavy rains from Hurricane Frances. There was some erosion near the upper end of the dry stack at the loading ramp, also a result of the storm. In spite of the hurricane, the facility operation and maintenance appeared to be excellent. The waste application records are well maintained and complete with the exception of the annual soil analysis. The soil analysis should be performed before the end of the year. A copy of the inspection is attached for your records. It was a pleasure meeting you. If you have any questions regarding this inspection, please do not hesitate to contact me at (828) 296-4500.
