This table provides a nutrient balance for the listed fields and crops for each year of the plan. Required nutrients are based on the realistic yields of the claps to be grown, their nutrient requirements and soil test results. The quantity of nutrient supplied by each source is also identified. The total quantity of nitrogen applied to each crop should not exceed the required amount. However, the quantity of other nutrients applied may exceed their required amounts. This most commonly occurs when manure or other byproducts are utilized to meet the nitrogen needs of the crop. 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 afield. In such situations, additional nitrogen applications from nonorganic sources may be required to supply the recommended amounts of nitrogen.

Fields that receive manure must have an annual soil analysis for these elements. High levels of zinc and copper can adversely affect plant growth. Alternative crop sites must be used when the concentration of these metals approach excessive levels. Site life can be estimated bydividing the amount of copper and zinc to be applied in lbs/acre by 0.036 and 0.071, respectively and multiplying the result by 0.85. Sy adding this quantity to the current soil index for copper or zinc, we can predict life of the site for waste disposal.

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 betaken not to load effiuent,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 capacityshould be greaterthan 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 thatthe 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). -------------------------------------------------------------------- --- 464022 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 3/23/2005 Specification Papte ] 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. Wastetnutrient 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.

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. ---------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------- 464022 Daubase Version 3.1 Date Printed: 3/23/2005 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.

Fields 3,5,6,7,8,9A were all in mutual grass and have RYE records. I have attached the sheet that the records were determined on. on the WUP I may should have used rescue grass rather than fescue for the crop type since mutua isn't on as a crop selection. If you need anymore info let me know.

Porter Farms have maintained records of actual yields for each field. The average yield for the highest 3 years is higher than the expected RYE. For this waste utilization plan, the expected yield will continued to be used. "During calendar year 2002, a severe drought affected the yields. Porter Farms will continue to maintain records of actual yields of the Fescue and Matua grass mixture for waste application fields. If the actual yields are less than the listed RYE for (three out of the five years), the RYE for that field and the waste application rate will be adjusted. The adjusted rates will be based on actual yields. Signature of Facility Owner: - I� Thomas E. Parw. Jr. Date I t Signature of Technicial Specialist:�,t., I Watthevn .

E., Director RECEIVED Division of Water Quality 090erll ,ko 4 MOORESVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE M-GROUNDWATER SECTION Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. AWS 130001 Porter Farms Swine Waste Collection, Treatment, Storage and Application System Cabarrus County On June 11, 2004, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued a revised State General Permit for swine facilities. 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 February 10, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Thomas E. Porter, 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 AWS 130001 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 Porter Farms, located in Cabarrus County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 2000 Farrow to Wean 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 kee in and monitoring conditions in this permit. Aquifer Protection Section —Animal Feeding Operations Unit 1636 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1638 One < NorthCarolina Phone; 919-733-3221 1 FAX: 919-71M5881 Internet: h2o.enr,state,nc.us Natmrjallff An Equal OpportunitylAffirmative Action Employer — 60% Recycled110% Post Consumer Paper If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed. The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property. Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking of the facility. Per 15A NCAC 2H .0225(c) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100 foot separation shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any wetted area of a spray field. Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143- 215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief. If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after the expiration date of the General Permit, an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration. This COC is not automatically transferable. A name/ownership change application must be submitted to the Division prior to a name change or change in ownership. If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to apply for an individual permit by contacting the staff member listed below for information on this process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding. This facility is located in a county covered by our Mooresville Regional Office. The Regional Office Water Quality Staff may be reached at (704) 663-1699. If you need additional information concerning this COC or the General Permit, please contact Duane Leith at (919) 715-6186.

Ross Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Alan W. Klimek, P. E., Director Division of Water Quality May 1, 2003 Thomas E. Porter Porter Farms 4455 Mt. Pleasant Road South Concord NC 28025 Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. AWS130001 Porter Farms Swine Waste Collection; Treatment, Storage and Application System Cabarrus County Dear Thomas E. Porter: On April 28, 2003, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the Division of Water Quality (Division) to extend the expiration date of the Swine Waste Operation General Permit AWG100000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit. In accordance with your application received on February 10, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Thomas E. Porter, 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 AWS130001 which expired on April 30, 2003. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Porter Farms, located in Cabarrus County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 2000 Farrow to Wean 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 October 1, 2004. 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. If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed. The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.

Pleasant Rd. S. Concord, NC 28025 Type of Operation: SWINE County: CABARRUS HU CODE: 03040105020060 Number of Animals: 2000 Your animal waste management facility had been designed for a given storage capacity. When the waste reaches the designed level, it 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 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 encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crops 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 and leaching potential. Waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 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. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or 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 are 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 infon-riation 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. Amount of Waste Produced Per Year: (gallons) 2000 animals X 3,203 gal waste/animal/yr = 6,406,000 gal waste/year Amount of Nitrogen Produced Per Year (lbs) 2000 animals X 5.4 lbs N/animal/yr = 10,800 lbs N/year produced 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. Your facility is designed for 180 days of storage. Therefore, it will need to be emptied every 6 months. The following acreage for waste application will be needed based on the crop to be grown and the surface application: (ACRES OWNED BY PRODUCER) Field Soil Crop Rye Lbs Actual Wettable Lbs N Months to Numbers Type Tons N/ac Acres Acres Used Apply 3 GoC Fescue/ 5.6 275 10.3 6.44 1771 March -October Matua 4 GoC Fescue 2.8 125 1.8 1.5 187.5 March -October 5 GoC Fescue/ 5.6 -275 15.5 13.39 3682.25 March -October Matua 6 KkB Fescue/ 8.0 330 17.0 14.26 4705.80 March -October Matua 7 BaB Fescue/ 7.8 345 4.2 3.1 1069.5 March -October Matua 8 BaB Fescue/ T8 345 L I 1.0 345 March -October Matua 9a BaB Fescue/ 7.8 345 2.2 2.0 690 March -October Matua 9b BaB Fescue 3.9 200 .9 .9 180 March -October 9c BaB Fescue 3.9 200 1.4 1 1.0 200 March -October -Total Amount of N Produced Surplus or Deficit 43.59 12831 -10800 2031.05 *This N is from animal waste only. if nutrients from other sources such as commercial fertilizer are applied, they must be accounted for.

In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 91.8' and the level should not be pumped below 88.9' to allow adequate permanent storage for treatment of waste. Call the 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. THE CLEAN WATER ACT OF 1977 PROHIBITS THE DISCHARGE OF POLLUTANTS INTO THE WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES. THE DEPARTMENT OF ,ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH, AND NATURAL RESOURCES, DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT, HAS THE RESPONSIBILTY FOR INFORCING THIS LAW. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION: This swine operation (farrow to weaning) consist of 2000 sows. Breeding, gestation, and farrowing buildings are flushed with recycled water from the lagoon. Liquid effluent will be pumped onto adjacent pasture and hayland. Waste is to be applied to 40.19 acres of fescue overseeded with matua and 3.4 acres of fescue. The lagoon is designed with 180-day storage. (Total capacity 1,112,831 cu.ft.) Therefore it will require pumping down to permanent storage level every 6 months. Waste is to be applied to fescue/Matua during March -October. Waste may be applied during the season when needed for nitrogen benefits or pumped as needed for irrigation water as long as nutrient limits and infiltration rates are not exceeded (and waste is applied to actively growing crop). NOTE: The waste in the lagoon must be maintained at or below the maximum liquid elevation of 91.8'. Also, the lagoon level must not be pumped below elevation 88.9' to maintain adequate permanent storage for treatment of waste by bacterial activity. The volume of estimated waste produced per year is 6,406,000 gal = 235.9 acre inches. (6,406,000 gal / 27,152 gal/ac inch. = 235.9 ac inches) With the system applying .36 ac inches/hr, the system will require 655.3 hrs/yr to apply waste. The system will apply .36 inches per application to area under gun of approximately 16.6 lb N per acre per application. (5.4 lb.N/animal/yr / 3,203 gal waste/animal/yr x 1000 = 1.68 lb N/1000 gal 1.68 lb N/I000 gal x 27.152 1000gals/ac in x .36 ac in/application = 16.6 lbs. N/application). Nitrogen applications should be split over the growing season during the period of March -October. Application rates must be adjusted to waste analysis reports when received. The irrigation system specifications indicate using a Kifco E30A Slurry Reel with 1000' of3: ID PE hose, with hydraulic drive, and a Nelson SR150 Gun. The Nelson SR150 Gun is intended to operate with maximum ring orifice of 1.08 at 70 PSI, 197 GPM, with a diameter of 310' (lane spacing of 230' or 75% of 310'). System pressure required is 123 PSI A 197 GPM. The system's Kifco NT120S engine driven pump is capable of pumping flows up to 500 GPM at pressures up to 150 PSI. The application rate will be a maximum of .36 inches per hour with gun cart travel speed of 3.83 ft/min. The lagoon will be pumped down prior to December to -allow for storage during the winter months when the ground may be saturated or frozen and crops are not actively growing to take up nutrients. The lagoon will be pumped as needed to provide adequate waste storage during the times listed in the chart on page 2. Adequate land is available for proper disposal and utilization of waste produced. Refer also to attached Waste Utilization Plan Required Specifications and information provided on waste sampling for additional specifications and recommendations. 4 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEMENT Name of Farm: Porter Farms Owner/Manager Agreement I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specification and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approve animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above. I (we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and storage system of construction of new facilities will require a new certification to be submitted to the Division of Environment Management (DEM) before the new animals are stocked. I (we) also understand that there must be no discharge of animal waste from this system to surface waters of the state from a storm event less severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm. The approved plan will be filed on -site at the farm office and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District and will be available for review by DEM upon request.

Porter Farms have maintained records of actual yields for each field. The average yield for the highest 3 years is higher than the expected RYE. For this waste utilization plan, the expected yield will continued to be used. **During calendar year 2002, a severe drought affected the yields. Porter Farms will continue to maintain records of actual yields of the Fescue and Matua grass mixture for waste application fields. If the actual yields are less than the listed RYE for (three out of the five years), the RYE for that field and the waste application rate will be adjusted. The adjusted rates will be based on actual yields. Signature of Facility Owner: Thomas E. Porter, Jr. Dale Signature of Technicial Specialist: _ _ - - - - Watth J.

Porter Farms, Facility #:13-01 Cabarrus County, NC Waste Water Applied Dear Mr. Johnston, Responding to your request on the amount of waste watcr applied over the past two years. Additional records on form IRR-2 were in the back of our spray records which were not calculated in your figures. The total volume pumped in 1999 was 3,229,400 gallons and the total volume puniped as of 10-31-00 was 3,580,000 gallons. In addition talking with Matt Kinane (resource conservation specialist) he indicated that figures were added for normal rainfall. Annual rainfall for our area for the past three years has been far below average. We also monitor water usage very closely to conserve water. 1 have also attended some seminars which indicate that sows probably do not generate the amount of waste as was used to figure most waste plans in North Carolina. Please let me know if you need any additional information. Sincerely, Tonuny Po er ASTA?'

Thorpe, Ph.D.; Acting Director Division of Water Quality WATER QUALITY SECTION January 9, 2002 Subject: Operation Review/Compliance Porter Farms, Facility #: 13-1 Cabarrus County, NC The year 2002 is the beginning of the fifth year of the animal operation inspection program. Given this, there should be no misunderstanding as to what is required. However, as a reminder, the following information is a partial list of what is required: • A copy of the Permit, Certified Farm Plan, and Certification form(s) must be lvailable for review. The certified farm plan must be followed (application rates, fields used for waste application, and crops grown to receive waste must be adhered to). You are in violation if you do not comply with any aspect of your farm plan or permit. • Annual soil analysis (properly documented) is required. The soils lab states that the preferred time (for efficiency) to process samples for analysis is between May and September. • Waste analyses must be conducted within 60 days of the waste application date. If the results are irregular, this should give adequate time to collect/analyze a new sample. • Waste application.records. The records should be complete and legible. Errors should not be erased, but marked through and the correct information written on the following line. Remember, although the information may be dear to you or the operator, the information must be understandable to the person(s) performing the review. • Weekly freeboard records must be maintained. The "pump marker" must be clearly marked and visible at all times. There should be no question as to what is the pump marker during an inspection. • A certified operator must be designated. By completing a form and mailing to DWQ. • The facility must be maintained and operated according to the operation and maintenance information enclosed in the farm plan. This includes maintaining the area (mowing) around buildings and the lagoon/storage pond embankments. The list above comprises the majority, but certainly not all, of the requirements that must be followed. If permitted, the conditions of your permit should be review by you and your operator. Failure to have the necessary information available for inspection or to comply with the conditions of your permit could result in a Notice of Violation or further enforcement actions, if there is any uncertainty on your part regarding compliance with the permit, please feel free to contact Rocky Durham with the Division of Soil and Water or me at (704) 663-1699.

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. IRR1, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2, SLDI, 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 State 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. S in cer , Kerr T.

In general the facility was in good shape. However, you need to ensure that the weeds in your waste application fields are kept under control. Also, a current waste analysis is needed for your files. Please note that during many of Mr. Johnson's inspections he has noted that some farms are often missing one or more components of the farm plan that should be available for review. The following items must be available for review by the inspector during the inspection: • Certification forms. • Site Diagram, which shows fencing, streams, buffer zones, and feed areas. • Waste Application records, with accompanying waste analyses. • Maps of acreage and irrigated fields. • Waste Utilization plan, tract/field number, usabletwettable acres (not necessarily total acreage), list of crops, PAN required, and amount of waste produced by livestock. • Waste and Soil analysis information. Must have three years of data. Itis suggested that this be maintained in a single folder. • Emergency Action Plan which must be posted. • -Insect, Odor Control, and Mortality Checklists must,be completed. • Certified Operator renewal card. Failure to have the above components available and complete could result in a Notice of Violation or other enforcement actions. Also, remember that waste applications should be made during.the time the crop can utilize the nutrients in the waste. In general, waste should be applied no earlier than 30 days prior to planting. 919 North Main Street, Mooresville, North-Carohna 28115 Telephone 704-663-1699 FAX 704-663-6040 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recyeieW10%-post-consumer paper Page 2 If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Johnson or me at (704) 663-1699.

Porter 4455 Mr. Pleasant Rd. S Concord, NC 28025 Subject: Site Inspection Porter Farms, Facility #: 13-1 Cabarrus County, NC Dear Mr. Porter: Mr. Alan Johnson of this office has been asked on several occasions about the appropriate time and proper method to take soil and waste samples. Also, during his inspections, he has noticed that while the storage capacity may be adequate in the storage pond/lagoon, in some cases it was not at the level set forth in the waste utilization plan. Mr. Johnson has also noted that some animal operations using hay/pasture systems do not appear to be properly managing the hay crop in the waste application fields. This letter is to highlight some concerns and provide some general guidance for the animal facilities regarding the management of the storage pond/lagoon and waste application fields. For more specific/detailed information, please contact your technical specialist or your local agricultural extension service. Be advised that should a farm be found violating its farm plan and/or have an unpermitted discharge, besides facing civil penalties, the facility could be required to apply for an individual permit. Currently, most farms are operating under a general permit. Waste applications Just as you manage the animals at your facility, proper management of the waste (lagoon/storage pond level) is important. The waste must be pumped from the ponds at the correct time and provide for maximum utilization of the nutrients by the crop. Remember, waste application rates in your farm plan are based on agronomic principles, and assumes the waste will be applied when the nutrients are required (e.g., applying waste to corn at tasseling or bermuda grass in November is of little use for the uptake of nitrogen). Also, the established application rate assumes that the previous crop has been removed from the field. 919 NORTH MAIN STREET, MOORESVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA 281 15 PHONE 704-663-7 GOP FAX 704-663-6040 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY / APFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER - 50% RECYCLED/10% POST -CONSUMER PAPER i a Page 2 Grass and small grain crops grown for hay should be harvested in a timely manner. To maximize nutrient uptake, as indicated in the waste utilization plan, and for highest quality, the crop should be harvested at early boot stage (generally every 4 to 5 weeks). Small grain for silage can be harvested in the soft dough stage when direct cut. Contact your agricultural extension agent or technical specialist for proper guidance. General Recommendations for Nitrogen pplication for CommonCrops: • Small Grains: One-third (1/3) N at planting and remainder in late February or early March. • Corn/Sorgbum: For facilities that pump and haul, N should be applied prior to planting. For those facilities that irrigate, a split application with half at planting and the remainder when the corn is 18 inches high. • r Fescue/Orchardgrass: Apply one-half (1/2) of the N in mid -February to March and one- half (1/2) in mid -August to September. • Bermuda grass: Establishing: 30 to 40 lbs N/ac at planting and 30 to 60 lbs N/ac when runners appear (6 -8 wk. after planting). Maintaining: 50 to 60 lbs N/ac in April and the remainder of the recommended amount in equal increments in June and July or after each cutting. Finally, there have been instances where the amount of waste pumped (as shown in the waste application records) from the lagoon/storage pond does not appear to agree with the amount of waste produced by the animals. One would expect on an annual basis that the amount pumped would be approximately equal to the amount being produced. For example, if a dairy is generating 453,000 gal/yr in waste, then approximately 453,000 gallons of waste should be accounted for in the waste application records over a year. However, there may be some difference due to how low the storage pond was pumped, the number of cows being held in the facility, or the amount of rainfall. Soil analysis (FREE) Fifteen to twenty (15 to 20) soil samples per field (20 acres or less) is desirable. The samples should be thoroughly mixed and sent in as one sample. Each sample should be pulled 4 inches deep for pastures and no -till systems and 8 inches deep for conventional tillage systems. Taking samples during the fall is advisable. The state lab is not as busy at that time and can provide a more timely turn around with the results. This is also a good time to apply lime if recommended by the soil test. When liming is necessary, it is important that it be applied as suggested. Maintaining proper soil pH is as important (if not more so) than fertilizing to maximize crop production. Page 3 Waste samples/analysis ($4/sample) The state lab now has the capability to conduct analyses and provide the results within two working days via the internet. Through the US Postal service allow seven days. Take samples in a timely manner such that waste application rates can be based on the most recent sample results. Six to eight (6 to 8) samples should be taken around the edge of the lagoon/storage pond, approximately 6 feet from the edge and 12 inches below the surface. These can be mixed to make one sample. The sample should be refrigerated if it is not going to be shipped the same day. Always mail waste samples in plastic containers. For farmers who do not have to agitate the lagoon/storage pond prior to application, it is strongly suggested that waste samples be taken prior to waste application. This will prevent the prdaucer from having to go back and complete the waste application record at a later date. For farmers who apply waste to hay fields and pastures, it is strongly suggested that waste samples be taken quarterly if the waste is applied anytime during the growing season. If you have questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Johnson or me at (704) 663-1699. Sincerely, D. Rex Gleason, P. E.

With this in mind, this letter will touch on some of the general components and issues that are of concern during an inspection. As a certified, or soon to be certified, farm your files at a minimum must contain the following information, and need to be available for review during the inspection: Certification forms Site diagram - showing fencing, streams, buffer zones Waste application records/forms Maps of acreage and irrigated fields Waste utilization plan Waste and soil analysis records Emergency action plan and mortality & odor control checklist Regarding waste application records, all information should be recorded. This includes (but is not limited to) the field used, total minutes waste was applied (if required), the amount of waste irrigated/ hauled, the amount of nitrogen applied and the crop nitrogen balance. The crops and fields that are being utilized for waste application must be specified in the certified waste management plan. For those facilities that grow hay, the date when the hay is harvested should be recorded. If you feel the plan does not allow you the flexibility you need, contact a technical specialist to have the farm plan modified. For lagoons/storage ponds, remember that a freeboard of 12 inches plus an additional 5 - 9 inches (depending on location) for a 25 year/24 hour rain event must be maintained from the top of the storage pond/lagoon. If there is an emergency spillway/pipe, then the level must be maintained to compensate for a 25 yr/24 hr storm. A pumping marker must also be installed. This may be a pipe or other structure that is already in the lagoon. Whatever the marker is, it must be prominently identified. 919 North Main 5tree=, N%ICAn FAX 704-663-6040 Mooresville, !North Carolinc 28115 Eclucl Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer Voice 704-663-1699 509a recycled/104; post -consumer paper Page 2 The question often comes up as to what warrants a Notice of Violation (NOV). An NOV may be issued for the following instances, among others: a) inadequate freeboard, b) inadequate land for waste application, c) application on an unapproved crop/acreage, d) discharge of waste from lagoon/facility, e) excessive vegetation on the sideslopes of a lagoon/pond, or f) other minor deficiencies. Examples of a deficiency would be the waste or soil analysis forms not being up to date or the application records not being filled out properly. Please note, failure to submit the certification form by December 31, 1997, does not exclude you from the responsibility of maintaining your storage pond/lagoon levels and waste application records. Also, please be advised that North Carolina General Statutes provide for penalties of up to $10,000 per day per violation as well as criminal penalties for violations of state environmental laws and regulations.

Concord, NIC 28025 Type of Operation: SWFNTE County: CABARRUS HU CODE: 03040105020060 Number of Animals: 2000 Your animal waste managcment facility had been designed for a given storage capacity. When the waste reaches the designed level, it 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 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 encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic•yields of the crops 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 and leaching .potential. Waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 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. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production, the waste should be applied to a growin+or crop or 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 are 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 infonnation 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. amount of Waste Produced Per Year: (gallnns) 2000 animals 1 3.203 C7al waste/animal/yr = 6.406,000 gal , , to/,Tear Amount of Nitrogen Produced Per Year: (lbs) 2000 animals X 5.4 lbs N/animal/yr = 10,800 lbs N/year produced 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. Your facility is designed for ISO days of storage. Therefore, it will need to be emptied every 6 months.

Liquid effluent «-i11 be pumped onto adjacent pasture and ha}Hand. 1.��aste is to be applied to 40.19 acres of fescue overseeded with matua and 3.4 acres of fescue. The Ia(,00n is designed with 180-day storage. (Total capacity 1.112,831 cu.ft.) Therefore it will require pumping down to permanent storage level every 6 months. Waste is to be applied to fescue/Matua during March -October. Waste may be applied during the season when needed for nitrogen benefits or pumped as needed for in-ivation water as long as nutrient limits and infiltration rates are not exceeded (arid waste is applied to actively growing crop). NOTE: The waste in the lagoon must be maintained at or below the maximum liquid elevation of 91.8'. Also, the lagoon level must not be pumped below elevation 88.9' to maintain adequate permanent storage for treatment of waste by bacterial activity. The volume of estimated waste produced per year is 6,406,000 gal = 235.9 acre inches. (6,406,000 gal / 27,152 gal/ac inch. = 235.9 ac inches) With the system applying .36 ac inches/hr, the system will require 655.3 hrs/yr to apply waste. The system will apply .36 inches per application to area under gun of approximately 16.6 lb N per acre per application. (5.4 lb N/animal/yr / 3,203 gal �vaste/ariimal/yr x 1000 = 1.68 lb N7/1000 gal 1.68 Ib N/1000 gal x 27.152 I000,als/ac in x .36 ac in/application = 16.6 lbs N/appli cation). Nitrogen applications should be split over the ;rowing season during the period of March -October. Application rates must be adjusted to waste analysis reports when received. The irrigation system specifications indicate using a Kifco E30A Slurry Reel with 1000' of 3: ID PE hose, with hydraulic drive, and a Nelson SR150 Gun. The Nelson SR150 Gun is intended to operate with maximum ring orifice of 1.08 at 70 PSI, 197 GPM, with a diameter of 310' (lane spacing of 230' or 75% of 310'). System pressure required is 123 PSI A 197 GPM. The system's Kifco NT120S engine driven purnp is capable of pumping flows up to 500 GPM at pressures up to 150 PSI. The application rate will be a maximum of .36 inches per hour with gun cart travel speed of 3.83 ft/min. The lagoon will be pumped down prior to December to allow for storage during the winter months w-hen the ground may be saturated or frozen and crops are not actively ,growing to take up nutrients. The lagoon will be pumped as needed to provide adequate :waste storage dining the tines lasted in the chart on page 2.

For this waste utilization plan, the expected yield will continued to be used. "During calendar year 2002, a severe drought affected the yields. - Porter Farms will continue to maintain records of actual yields of the Fescue and Matua grass mixture for waste application fields. If the actual yields are less than the listed RYE for (three out of the five years), the RYE for that field and the waste application rate will be adjusted.

Concord, NC 28025 Type of Operation: SWINE County: CA6ARRUS HU CODE: 03040105020060 Number of Animals: 2000 Your animal waste management facility had been designed for a given storage capacity. When the waste reaches the designed level. it 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 encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crops 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 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 and leaching potential. Waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 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. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production, the waste should be applied to a growing crap or 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 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. i Amount of Waste Produced Per Year: (gallons) 2000 animals X 3,203 gal waste/animal/yr = 6,406,000 gal waste/year- Amount of Nitrogen Produced Per Year.• (lbs) 2000 animals X 5.4 lbs N/animal/yr = 10,800 lbs N/year produced Applying the above amount of waste is a big jab. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. Your - facility is designed for IeO days of storage. Therefore, it will need to be emptied every 6 months.

In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 91.8' and the level should not be pumped below 88.9' to allow adequate permanent storage for treatment of waste. Call the 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. THE CLEAN WATER ACT OF 1977 PROHIBITS THE DISCHARGE OF POLLUTANTS INTO THE WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES. THE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH, AND NATURAL RESOURCES, DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT, HAS THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR INFORCING THIS LAW. NARRATXVE OF OPERATION; This swine operation (farrow to weanling) consist of 2000 sows. Breeding, gestation, and farrowing buildings are flushed with recycled water from the lagoon. Liquid effluent will be pumped onto adjacent pasture and hayland. Waste is to be applied to 50.3 acres of fescue overseeded with Matua and 4.1 acres of fescue. The lagoon is designed with 180 day storage. (Total capacity 1,112,831 cu.ft.) Therefore it will require pumping down to permanent storage level every 6 months. Waste is to be applied to fescue/Matua during March - October. Waste may be applied during the season when needed for nitrogen benefits or pumped as needed for irrigation water as long as nutrient limits and infiltration rates are not exceeded (and waste is applied to actively growing crop). NOTE: The waste in the lagoon must be maintained at or below the maximum liquid elevation of 91.8'. Also, the lagoon level must not be pumped below elevation 88.9' to maintain adequate permanent storage for treatment of waste by bacterial activity. The volume of estimated waste produced per year is 6,406,000 gal = 235.9 ac inches. (6,406,000 gal / 27,152 gal/ac inch. = 235.9 ac inches) With the system applying .36 ac inches/hr, the system will require 655.3 hrs/yr to apply waste. The system will apply .36 inches per application to area under gun or approximately 16.6 lb N per acre per application. (5.4 lb N/animal/yr / 3,203 gal waste/animal/yr x 1000 = 1.68 lb N/1000 gal 1.68 lb N/1000 gal x 27.152 1000gals/ac in x .36 ac in/application = 16.6 lbs N/application). Nitrogen applications should be split over the growing season during the period of March -October. Application rates must be adjusted to waste analysis reports when received. The irrigation system specifications indicate using a Kifco E30A Slurry Reel with 1000' of 3" ID PE hose, with hydraulic drive, and a Nelson SR150 Gun. The Nelson SR150 Gun is intended to operate with maximum ring orifice of 1.08 at 70 PSI, 197 GPM, with a diameter of 310' (lane spacing of 230' or 75% of 310'). System pressure required is 123 PSI ;D 197 GPM. The system's Kifco NT120S engine driven pump is capable of pumping flows up to 500 GPM at pressures up to 150 PSI. The application rate will be a maximum of .36 inches per hour with gun cart travel speed of 3.83 ft/min. The lagoon will be pumped down prior to December to allow for storage during the winter months when the ground may be saturated of frozen and crops are not actively growing to take up nutrients. The lagoon will be pumped as needed to provide adequate waste storage during the times listed in the chart on page 2. Adequate land is available for proper disposal and utilization of waste produced.

Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to the 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 owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the 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 (sample enclosed) 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 ylanage men t System (RtiFS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no 4reater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate ftlter•strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DENT. 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. 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 provide uniformity of application. S. 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 camased by burning or smothering of the plant. This is an important consideration vhe;e ;will:. poultry or other ammonia rich waste is being surface applied. Surface broadcast solids or sluries may damage crops if leaf surfaces ax! matted. Generally waste should be applied such that no more than =0 to =5 percent of the leas area is covered. This should not normally be a concern where diluted, low nutrient waste is irrigated or surface broadcast from a liquids holding structure. Where crops are severely damaged due to RE 'TRED SPECTFTCATION5 waste application, the plants cannot assimilate the nutrients and discharge of pollutants to surface waters is likely to occur. 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fail 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 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. 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 waters, drainageways or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided thev have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and only then at agronomic rates provided the application causes no runoff or drift from the site. 15. 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 the one ( 1) foot mandatory freeboard. I8. 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 implementing 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 .o prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular ma incenance checUist should be kept on site.

WOO I I I 11 J Ag-Rain Slurry -Reels are specifically designed for the land application of wastewater. These machines provide a fast, economical way to spread liquid waste. They are simple to operate, require minimal labor and are easy to adjust to the required depth of applica- tion. Slur Reel Advantages and Benefits Slurry -Reels are quick and easy to set up and operate unattended. They can apply liquid waste with superior unifor- mity- to stationary gun systems. Depending on the machine size, they can spread the liquid over swaths up to 1/4 mile in length at a single setting. The machines almost totally eliminate the soil compaction problems associat- ed with tank wagons. Slurry -Reels are very portable and can easily be towed from one location to another. In addition to wastewater disposal, the machines do an excellent job of irriga- tion which makes it possible to turn wastewater into a valuable asset. Engine Drive Unit Two styles of engine drive are used on Ag-Raln Slurry -Reels. Both use a Honda 5 HP OHV engine complete with a large capacity fuel tank. If the wastewater is free of solids, such as partially treated or secondary lagoon water, a turbine drive Water -Reel will operate very efficiently. In these cases a turbine is usually preferred for its sim- plicity and reduced maintenance requirement. Slurry Pumps A line of PTO Slurry Pumps are avail- able for pumping wastewater. The pumps have either an open or closed vane impeller which is not easily plugged by solids. A pedestal mounted version is also available. Contact Ag- Rain for more information.

To avoid over- heating, the transmission is air cooled by a high capacity fan. Through the transmission, the speed range is infinitely adjustable and also speed compensated during operation. A speed indicator displays the ground speed of the gun cart. The speed is simple to adjust using Ag-Rain's unique system. Mechanical Drive The E30A, E25A and E21A models are fitted with a mechanical drive. The speed is infinitely adjustable and speed compensated during operation. A unique speed indicator displays the ground speed of the gun cart and is simple to adjust. Polyethylene Tube The medium density polyethylene tube has a thick wall and is especially made for the Slurry -Reel. It's built to resist wear, to withstand repeated coiling and to resist the brittling effect of ultra violet rays. It can be repaired with a screw -in mender or by weld- ing. The tubing is backed with a 5-year pro -rated warranty. Special Features Ag-Rain Slurry -Reels include all the regular features you would expect from a well designed traveler. A few of the special fea- tures that makes Ag-Rain stand out from the crowd are: 4 A Fall Safe Shut -down System ' 6 A Unique Anti -coast Brake 4 Retraction Speed Indicator 4 Speed Compensation on all models. 4 Eaton Variable Displacement Hydraulic Transmission (E40A & E37A only.)
