Subject: Compliance Inspection
Notla Dairy
Facility No. 20-1
Cherokee County
Dear Mr- Shields:
On November 17, 20151 conducted a routine compliance inspection of the waste handling system for the
Notla Dairy. The dairy appeared to be well maintained and operating according to permit conditions.
Reminders:
1) Soils Analyses: fields sampled in 2013 are due in •2016, fields sampled in 2014 are due in
2017.
2) Weather codes are required on the SLUR -1 Form.
After discussions with our central office, it appears that the constructed wetland that was installed this
year is a major change to the operating system. This change will require recertification of your CAWMP
(Certified Animal Waste Management Plan). Please contact Jeff Young with the NCDA&CS, Division of
Soil & Water (828-687-6987) for assistance.
Your assistance during the inspection was greatly appreciated. Please see the attached inspection report
for additional comments. I have included copies of the most recent application forms for your
convenience. If you need additional assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me at (828) 296 -4685 -
Sincerely,
B AxLx_�

Question #9: The lower slats on the free stall bam adjacent to the watering station need to be reattached to prevent any waste
from coming out of the bam and possibly reaching surface waters.
Question #21 You should be using the most recent Forms which have a space to record weather conditions.
Waste Analyses: 10/17/14 N=2.61 Ib/1000 gal.; 5121115 N=2.40 Ib/1000 gal.; 9!22115 N=2.80 lb/1000 gal.
Soils analyses: 2115113 - these fields are due again for analysis in 2016; 10/28/2014 - these fields are due again in 2017.
Calibration: 8/112015
The engineered wetland/solids collection system referenced in the last inspection has been installed below the slurry loading
station. The system appears to be operating property but will require diligence in ensuring that the solids are regularly removed
and land applied. The CAWMP will need to be recertified to include this change.
Some of the crop codes listed in WUP Ammendent to Table #1 are not consistent with the Ammendenl notes (e.g. Tract 371 Feld
11 shows crop code H [Hay, Cool Season, Not Grazed), while the notes indicate Grazed Fescue and Barley). Please verify the
crop type and use the nitrogen valuse from the WUP to determine the PAN balances.

Dear Mr. Shields:
On October 20, 2014, i conducted a routine compliance inspection of the waste handling system for the Notla
Dairy. The dairy appeared to be well maintained and operating according to permit conditions.
Reminders:
1) All record keeping forms must be signed.
2) Any commercial fertilizer that is applied to fields that receive animal waste should be recorded on
the SLUR -2 Form and deducted from the allowable PAN.
3) Manure application equipment will be due for calibration by 1213112014.
Your assistance during the inspection was greatly appreciated. Please see the attached inspection report for
additional comments. I have included copies of the most recent forms for your convenience. If you need additional
assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone].

#3 & #9 - Spillage from the loading area has the potential to reach surface waters. This area is also a designated stock trail with
a designated stream crossing. Mr. Shields has a conract with NRCS/S&W to install a designed wettand to help address any
runoff from this area. The contract runs out in 2015 so this BMP will be installed by the end of the year.

Dear Mr. Shields:
On October 30, 2013, 1 conducted a routine compliance inspection of the waste handling system for the Notla
Dairy. The dairy appeared to be well maintained and operating according to permit conditions.
[INTi"i 1I"k.
1) Sign all of the Forms.
2) Any commercial fertilizer that is applied to fields that receive animal waste should be recorded on the
SLUR -2 Form and deducted from the allowable PAN.
3) Manure application equipment will be due for calibration by 1213112014.
Your assistance during the inspection was greatly appreciated. Please see the attached inspection report for
additional comments. If you need additional assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone].

Inspection Summary:
Question #3. - A spring surfaces at the heavy use area/manure loading station at the toe of the waste pond dam. Any manure
accumulated on the stock trail or any manure spilled at the loading station has the potential to reach surface waters. Jeff
Young(NCDA&CS)has designed a wetland area below the pond to address this issue. The contract has been drawn up and
approved. Cost share funds will be used to help fund the project. The wetland should be installed next year.
Question #21. - Any commercial fertilizer that is applied to fields that also receive animal waste should be recorded on the SLUR -2
Forms and deducted from the allowable PAN. All Forms should be signed by the OiC.

Facility No. 20-1
Notice of Deficiency (NOD -2012 -PC -0315)
Cherokee County
Dear Mr. Shields:
On October 23, 2012, 1 conducted a routine compliance inspection of the waste handling system
for the Notla Dairy. The following issues were noted:
1) At the time of the inspection, the waste pond did not have the required freeboard
as specified in the Waste Utilization Plan. This represents a violation of your
permit (please see permit condition V.2.) Upon review and consideration of the
information submitted and/or discussed with DWQ staff, the Asheville Regional
Office has determined that a Notice of Deficiency (NOD) is appropriate and no
further compliance/enforcement actions will be taken by the Division for the high
waste level observed on the October 23, 2012. In the future, please continue to
evaluate ways to maintain freeboard levels in the required range. This may
include, but is not limited to, water conservation practices, adding additional
application sites, updating your cropping systems, adding additional and/or more
flexible application equipment and maintaining the waste pond or lagoon levels at
the lowest allowable and appropriate levels throughout the year.

2) Following up on the 2011 inspection, it is my understanding that you have
contacted the Cherokee County Soil & Water Conservation District as well as the
NC Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services for assistance in developing a
plan to address the contaminated runoff from the manure loading station. We
appreciate your efforts in addressing this issue as it has the potential to adversely
affect the adjacent stream.
Your assistance during the inspection was greatly appreciated. Please see the attached
inspection report for additional comments. If you need additional assistance, please do not
hesitate to contact me at [phone].

Inspection Summary:
Question #3. A spring surfaces at the heavy use area/manure loading station at the toe of the waste pond dam. Any manure
accumulated on the stock trail or any manure spilled at the loading station has the potential to reach surface waters. Sampling results
(RAMS -James Aaron SWP collected samples) from the stream adjacent to the pond as well as downstream of this area have been
elevated for fecal coliform bacteria. Jeff Young (NCDABCS) surveyed the area earlier this year. The plan is to put in a wetland area to
filter any runoff prior to discharge to the adjacent stream.
Question #4. Freeboard was 22 inches, required freeboard is 24 inches. Per Mr. Shields - 20 loads were hauled on 10124112, now 3
inches below start pump, facility is back in compliance.

Dear Mr. Shields:
Resources
Dee Freeman
Secretary
On October 4, 2011, 1 conducted a routine compliance inspection of the waste handling system
for the Notla Dairy. The following issues were noted (See Inspection Summary Report,
Inspection Summary Page 2 for details):
1) The Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) shows four fields with waste application restrictions
based on phosphorous. Please review your WUP with a Technical Specialist from the
Cherokee County Soil & Water Conservation District (SWCD) or Joe Hudyncia with the
NCDA &CS -Division of Soil & Water.
2) An area of concern noted during the inspection is the manure loading station at the toe of
the waste pond dam. This area is also a heavy use area for the cattle as this is a stock
trail to the milking bam. Any manure on the stock trail or spillage at the loading station
has the potential to reach surface waters. Sampling of the adjacent stream has shown
elevated levels for fecal coliform bacteria over the past year. Please consult the
Cherokee County SWCD or Jeff Young with the NCDA &CS -Division of Soil & Water for
assistance with Best Management Practices for this area of your farm.

Dee Freeman
Secretary
On October 28, 2010, 1 conducted a routine compliance inspection of the waste handling system for the
Notla Dairy. The dairy appeared to be well maintained.
Please review your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) with a Technical Specialist from the Cherokee County
Soil & Water Conservation District or the Division of Soil & Water. The WUP shows four fields with waste
application restrictions based on phosphorous (See Inspection Report Inspection Summary Page 1).
Your assistance during the inspection was greatly appreciated. Please see the attached inspection

Soils Analyses: 4128109
Calibration: 917109
#19. Old COC 8 Permit on-site. COC issued 10/1109 needs to be included with current records.
WUP needs to be updated to show Nitrogen requirements for small grain/barley grazed. Also, the WUP Amendment dated 6117199
does not match the Amendment to Table 1. (for example: Field 11 shows Grazed Fescue and Barley while the Amendment to Table 1
shows Field 11 as Hay)
Remember to use the nitrogen value obtained with each waste analysis to determine the PAN balance on the SLUR -2 Form for that
particular application.
The facility appeared to well maintained and operated. Record keeping continues to improve.

Subject: Compliance Inspection
Notla Dairy
Facility No. 20-1
Cherokee County
Dear Mr. Shields:
On October 30, 2008, 1 conducted a routine compliance inspection of the waste handling system for the
Notla Dairy. The dairy appeared to be well maintained.
As we discussed during the inspection, you should use the values from your Waste Utilization Plan
(WUP), not the nitrogen values recommended on the Soils Analysis when calculating your PAN
balances. I have included an example of how to determine the Recommended PAN value to be used on
your SLUR -2 Form.
Also, your land application equipment should be calibrated. I have enclosed calibration
procedures/worksheets for your convenience.
Your assistance during the inspection was greatly appreciated. Please see the attached inspection
report for additional comments. If you need additional assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me
at [phone].
Sincerely,
Beverly Price

Field Calibration Procedures for Solid and
Semi -Solid Animal Waste Application Equipment
WEIGHT -AREA
METHOD
SPREADER SYSTEM
Load -Area Method
Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operat-
ing conditions for relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application
rates change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. For
solid or semi-solid application equipment, application rates and patterns may
vary depending on forward travel and/or PTO speed, gear box settings, gate
openings, operating pressures, spread widths, and overlaps.
Equipment should be calibrated on a regular basis to ensure proper appli-
cation rates and uniformity. Calibration is a simple procedure involving col-
lecting and measuring the material being applied at several locations in the
application area. Calibration helps ensure that nutrients from animal waste
are applied efficiently and at proper rates.
Solid or semi-solid (slurry) applicators can be calibrated by one of two
methods: load -area method, and weight -area method.
To use the load -area method, you must know the
spreader capacity. Spreader capacity is normally rated
by the manufacturer and often is indicated on the
application equipment. Liquid spreaders are normally
rated in gallons while semi-solid spreaders are rated in
either bushels or cubic feet.
As the name implies, the load -area method
involves applying a full load to a measured area. For
ease of measurement, it is best to use a rectangular
field pattern. For PTO -driven spreaders, application
rate is dependent on ground speed so a uniform
speed must be maintained throughout the swath
length. Ground -driven applicators apply reasonably
uniform rates independent of ground speed. Refer to
fact sheet AG -553-5 for detailed calibration proce-
dures.
Weight -Area Method
The weight -area method is often used for solid and
semi-solid spreaders. The procedure involves measur-
ing the spreader discharge over a small measured area
The application rate is determined by dividing the
collected material (weight) by the collection area.
Weight -Area Method Calibration
Procedure
I. Obtain a tarp or plastic sheet of about 100 square
feet (9'X12', 10'X10% 10'X12', etc.) and measure for
exact surface area (length X width).
2. Weigh the tarp using a set of spring -tension or
platform scales_
3. Spread the tarp and pin on the field surface at
each corner with a tent stake or long nail through
the eyelets.
4. Operate the spreader over the center of the tarp at
the speed normally driven when applying manure on
the field.
5. Make two additional passes on two opposite sides
Of the center of the tarp at the normal spreader
overlap spacing.
6. Remove and fold the tarp being careful not -to spill
any collected material. Weigh the tarp and manure

(gross weight).
7_ Subtract the empty tarp weight from the gross
tarp plus manure weight to obtain the weight of
manure applied.
8. Divide the amount of manure collected (pounds)
by the tarp area (square feet) and -multiply this value

Effective swath
width with
proper overlap
To determine the uniformity of spread and the
amount of overlap needed:
1. Place a line of small pans or trays equally spaced
(2 to 4 feet apart) across the spreader path (See Figure
2). label the pans chronologically as left or right from
the center pan. Center pans may need to be shifted
slightly out of the spreader wheel tracks. (Pans should
be a minimum of 12 by 12 inches, no more than 24
by 24 inches, and 2 to 4 inches deep.)
2. Make one spreader pass directly over the center
pan at normal operating "speed and spreader settings.
Record
spinner PTO speed,
— flow divider delivery point onto the spinners.
and
— the spreader gate setting.
3. Weigh and record the contents caught in each pan.
i 4. The effective spread width is found by locating
the pan on either side of the path center where the
contents caught in the container is one-half the
amount caught in the center pan.
5. The distance between the two pans on either side
of the center (in Number 4) is the effective width.
The outer fringes of the coverage area beyond these
points should be overlapped on each subsequent
path

CALIBRATING SOLID AND SEMI-SOLID MANURE SPREADERS USING THE WEIGHT -AREA METHOD
1. Spread a tarp or plastic sheet over the ground surface and secure with pins or small weights. The tarp
should have at least 100 square feet (9'X12', 10'x10', etc.) of surface area.
a. width X length = area ftz
2. Start applying manure downrange of the tarp and spread directly across the center of it in a manner similar
to the regular spreading patterns and settings of the applicator (speed, spreader settings, overlap).
Trial 1 Trial 2 Trial 3
b. Forward speed, gear, or
throttle setting
c. PTO speed or setting
d. Spreader gate setting
3. Transfer the manure collected on the tarp into a weighing container and weigh using an accurate set of
spin- tension or platform scales.
e. Empty weight of weighing container lbs
f.. Gross weight of container + manure lbs
g. Net weight of manure (f - e) lbs
4. Compute the manure application rate:
h. Area or tarp (a) ft2
i. Application rate (g - h) lbs/ft2
j. Application rate (I X 43560 _ 2000) tons/acre
5. Compute the nutrient application rate:
k. Manure analysis N lbs/ton
P205 lbs/tan
K20 lbs/ton
I. Application rate N lbs/acre
(j x k) P205 lbs/acre
K70 lbs/acre
6. If the application rate is not acceptable, repeat the procedure at different spreader settings, speeds,
or both (Item 2) until the desired application rate is achieved.

Field Calibration Procedures for Semi -Solid
Animal Waste Application Equipment
LOAD -AREA
METHOD
SPREADER SYSTEM
Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operat-
ing conditions for relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application
rates change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. For
pump and haul application equipment, application rates and patterns may
vary depending on forward travel and/or PTO speed, gear box settings, gate
openings, operating pressures, spread widths, and overlaps.
Equipment should be calibrated on a regular basis to ensure proper appli-
cation rates and uniformity. Calibration is a simple procedure involving col -
letting and measuring the material being applied at several locations in the
application area. Calibration helps ensure that nutrients from animal waste
are applied efficiently and at proper rates.
Pump and Haul Application Systems
Liquid applicators and tank spreaders are an alterna-
tive to irrigation systems for transporting and apply-
ing liquid lagoon effluent, liquid manure slurries, and
lagoon sludges. Proper location and design of pump-
ing and loading pads are necessary to protect equip-
ment and operators and avoid damaging the lagoon
dike or embankment. Care should be taken to mini-
mize spills during.loadirig and transport.
Semi-solid (slurry) applicators can be calibrated by
one of two methods: load -area method, and weight -
area method (see AG -553-4). Liquid applicators are
best calibrated by the load -area method.
Load -Area Method
To use the load -area method, you must know the
spreader capacity. Spreader capacity is normally rated
by the manufacturer and often is indicated on the
application equipment. liquid spreaders are normally
rated in gallons while semi-solid spreaders are rated in
either bushels or cubic feet.
As the name implies, the load -area method
involves applying a full load to a measured area. For
ease of measurement, it is best to use a rectangular
field pattern. For PTO -driven spreaders, application
rate is dependent on ground speed so a uniform
speed must be maintained throughout the swath
length. Ground -driven applicators apply reasonably
uniform rates independent of ground speed.
Load -Area Method Calibration
Procedure
1. Spread at least one full load of manure in a
rectangular field pattern.
2. Measure the length and width of coverage. Do
not include the outer fringe areas of the coverage
Which receive much lighter applications than the
overlapped areas.
3. Multiply the leng h (feet) by the width (feet) and
divide by 43,560 to determine the coverage area in
acres.
4. Divide the weight or volume of load of manure in
the spreader by the acres covered to determine the
application rate in tons or gallons per acre.
5. If the application rate (Item 4) is not acceptable,
repeat the procedure at different spreader settings,
speeds, or both until the desired application rate
(tons or gallons per acre) is achieved.

Dear Mr. Shields:
On October 31, 2007, 1 conducted a routine compliance inspection of the waste handling system for the Notla
Dairy. The dairy appeared to be well maintained.
You did not have an annual soils analysis for 2007. 1 could not find a record of it online. A waste analysis should
be conducted within sixty (60) days before or after waste application.
As a reminder, your land application equipment should be calibrated within two years of issuance of your permit.
Your permit was issued 11124104.
Your assistance during the inspection was greatly appreciated_ Please see the attached inspection report for
additional comments. If I can be of any assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone].

Subject: Compliance Inspection
Nona Dairy
Facility No. 20-1
Cherokee County
Dear Mr. Shields:
On October 18, 2006, 1 conducted a routine compliance inspection of the waste handling system for the Notla
Dairy. The dairy appeared to be well maintained.
One area of concern noted during the inspection was regarding the erosion at the base of the waste pond dam
adjacent to the creek. You indicated that the local NRCS office has been contacted and a plan for repairs has been
developed. Please complete the needed repairs as soon as possible and notify the Regional Office at 828-296-

Dear Mr. Shields:
• Michael F. Easley, Governor
William G. Ross Jr., Secretary
Norah Carolina Depart nent of Environment and Natural Resources
Aquifer Protection Section
Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director
Division of Water Quality
On August 31, 2005, Bev Price of the Division of Water Quality's Asheville Regional Office conducted a routine
compliance inspection of the waste handling system for the Notla Dairy. Please review the inspection report for
additional commentslobservations.
Although the waste handling system appeared to be in excellent condition, the record keeping system needs
improvement. With the re -issuance of the State General Permit on October 1, 2004 there are a number of items
that now require documentation, some of which you were already documenting. The following items should also be
documented, 1) Weather codes 2) Waste pond inspections after a > 1 inch rainfall and monthly waste pond
inspections 3) Crop yields 4) Calibration of waste application equipment. I have included approved forms to help
you with your record keeping.
If I can be of any assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone].
Sincerely,

❑ Field Copy ❑ Final Notes
Shields' farm encompasses substantially more acreage that can be utilized for application of manure. He may incorporate this into
certified animal waste management plan.
to the overall location of the lagoon, shape of the terrain and location of the loading area, there is some incidental spillage that
