Cabarrus County
Dear George L. Pless & Sons:
During March, 2010, a representative of your animal operation informed staff of the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ), Aquifer Protection Section (APS) that there was
inadequate freeboard in the Lagoons(s) or Storage Pond(s) serving the facility. General Permit
Condition 1I1.13 states — 'Permittee shall report by telephone to the appropriate Division
Regional Office as soon as possible, but in no case more than twenty-four (24) hoursfollowing
first knoivledge of the ... failure to maintain storage capacity in a lagoon/storage pond greater
than or equal to that required in. ..this General Permit." We appreciate the fact that you
reported the problem of high waste level as required by your permit and have worked with our
staff to manage the problem once it occurred.
While we recognize the extraordinary weather conditions existing at the time, the lack of
adequate freeboard reported to our office still represents non-compliance with the Certificate of
Coverage issued to your facility. As you are aware, this non-compliance is subject to appropriate
enforcement action by DWQ. The factors that lead to non-compliance, efforts to notify DWQ of
the problem, efforts made to resolve the problem once identified, and efforts proposed to prevent
future problems have all been factors in our decision regarding enforcement. Upon review and
consideration of the information submitted and/or discussed with DWQ staff. the Mooresville
Regional Office has determined that a Notice of Deficiency (NOD) is appropriate and that no
further compliance/enforcement actions "'I'll be taken by the Division for the high waste levels
occurring between October, 2009 and March, 2010.

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 levels at the lowest allowable and appropriate
levels throughout the year. Our staff looks forward to continuing to work with you and your
Technical Specialist to evaluate and implement any needed changes to your system.

Irrigation and Broadcast (surface and incorporated)
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to
reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where 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 needed so that all plant nutrients can be
balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner.
Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2.- Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching
potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than S tons per acre
per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre
annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter
strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is
frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is
not allowed under DEM regulations.
George Pless & Sons Dairy Page 1 04/30/03
,\

5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the
potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied
not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injection the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change
methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application
methods are not the same.
The established acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for
this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from
your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made,
which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area
receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content range for
specific crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A
NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Applying the above arnount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate
equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown, soil
type and surface application.

Your facility is designed for 150 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be
removed on the average of once every 5 months. The "as built" volume of the waste holding
pond is 637,413 gallons or 23.5 acre inches. In no instance should the volume of the waste be
stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the application
equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in table 1. Failure to
apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen may make this plan invalid. Call your
technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the
amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.
Animal waste disposal will be completed by two methods, irrigation and broadcast application
for this dairy operation. The irrigation system is a solid set design and is installed on Tract 473
with hydrants in fields 1, 2, 4, 5, and 8. The farm operation has a self-propelled 3600 gallon
Slurry Tank applicator. The remaining fields listed in table 1 will receive waste through
broadcast applications.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of
irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content,
George Pless & Sons Dairy Page 12 04/30/03

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should
not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the
plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
The irrigation system was designed and built to have three 1.62 acre guns operating at one time.
The application rate of the system is 0.36 acre inches/hour/head. At this application rate, the
system will be removing 1.08 acre inches per hour from the holding pond. This will require a
minimum of 21.76 hours to empty the waste holding pond's 637,413 gallons of storage.
By operating the three guns for 2 hrs per period, there will be an application of .72 acre inches
per gun. After the system has operated for 2 hrs at a riser, each gun will be moved down the Iine
to the next riser. 16.32 periods will be required, with the guns moved every 2 hours, to
completely empty the waste holding pond. The total nitrogen applied each time the lagoon is
emptied (based on waste sample results of 02/16/99, 3.5 lbs N /1000 gal) will be approximately
2230.9 lbs.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY SLURRY TANK
The operator has a 3600 gallon Slurry Tank applicator and will use this to apply animal waste on
fields not covered by the waste irrigation system. Animal waste is scraped and pushed into a
holding pit which drains into the waste storage pond. There is available access to this pit which
allows the operator to load animal waste into the slurry tank for land application.
MANAGEMENT OF WASTE APPLICATION
No matter what method is used, waste is to be applied to crops and/or pasture during the growing
season when needed for nitrogen benefits or as needed for irrigation water as long as nitrogen
limits and infiltration rates are not exceeded.
The waste storage pond levels will be pumped down prior to November to allow storage during
the winter months when the ground may be saturated or frozen and crops are not actively
growing to take up nutrients. The waste is to be applied to the fields and crops listed in Table 1
within the nitrogen limits listed. Waste will not be applied in such a manner that results in waste
runoff or over application of nutrients.
Application rates must be based on current waste analysis and applied to actively growing crops.
Waste must be analyzed as close to the time of each application as practical and at least within 60
days (before or after) of the date of application. Additionally, a representative Soil Fertility
Analysis shall be conducted annually on each application site receiving animal waste. The
results of these test shall be maintained on file for a minimum of three years. Proper records,
including maintenance, repair and irrigation (waste application) records, shall also be maintained
on site and in chronological and legible form for a minimum of three years.
George Pless & Sons Dairy Page 13 04/30/03

The Division of Water Quality Regional Office in Mooresville will be notified at 704-663-1699
as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of the
occurrence of any of the following events:
a. Failure of any component of the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and Iand
application system resulting in a discharge to surface waters.
b. Spillage or discharge from a vehicle or piping system transporting animal waste to the
application sites which results in, or may result in, a discharge to surface waters.
c. Any deterioration or leak in a storage pond.
d. Failure to maintain adequate storage capacity in a storage pond that poses an immediate
threat to public health or the environment.
e. Overspraying animal waste either in excess of the limits set forth in this plan or where
runoff enters waters of the State.
f. Any discharge that bypasses a storage pond.
Also, refer to Required Specifications, Irrigation Calibration, and Waste Sampling. (attached)

I know you are scheduled for Cabarrus Co. next month. Just thought I would let you
know John Pless' sister and bother in-law just died in a car accident. They were
hit by a drunk driver Sunday. I was scheduled to help him calibrate his irrigation
but we have canceled that for now. Just thought I would let you know he is pretty
upset right now so if you were planning on seeing him the first of April you may
want to push it back a little. I put a copy of the newspaper article on your desk.
Hope things are going well.

Second victim dies after Sapp Road crash
By Holly Fesperman Lee
Salisbury Post
� An accident blamed on a drunk driver has claimed a second victim.
Ma Ann Sifford, 58, died Tuesday at NorthEast Medical Center in Concord.
��n �kss sF�ie-�
y Her husband, Terry Dale Sifford, 61, an assistant chief at the Rimer Volunteer
Fire Department, died at the scene of Sunday's wreck on Sapp Road, near the
Cabbarus-Rowan line.
Metheny The two were involved in a head-on collision.
Gary Metheny, 25, of Eddieman Road, Kannapolis, is charged with two
counts of second-degree murder for the deaths.
Trooper W.Y. Kessler of the N.C. Highway Patrol said Metheny was driving south in a 2004 Dodge
Ram when he crossed the center line and hit the couple's Ford Explorer.
Mary Ann worked as a receptionist at Mt. Pleasant Elementary School and the school's principal, Corey
Cochran, said Tuesday night that she'd been in that position for 20 years.
"She was the person everybody saw when they came in. She was the type of person that really was the
foundation of the school. It's a big setback for us," he said.
"The whole staff is really heartbroken over this," Cochran added.
Cochran said he'd been principal at Mt. Pleasant Elementary for five years and knew Mary Arm Sifford
as the person that could do anything anyone needed done.
"We're creating a memory book that we're going to give to the three children. Everybody has their
favorite memories of Mrs. Sifford," he said.
Cochran also talked about his favorite memory of Sifford.
"I think the thing that I remember about her most
fondly ... she had three granddaughters. Just seeing her
with them and talking about them, that's the time when

JB,
Just got off the phone with John Pless of Pless Dairy, Cabarrus Co. Apparently Cindy
Safrit was there this morning and noticed that they have high freeboard. Per John
Pless, it was "above the pump mark." He's been watching the weather and considering
where to apply and intends to apply asap. His cell # is 980-521-1849.

George Pless & Sons Dairy Farm
Cattle Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Cabarrus County
Dear George L. Pless & Sons Dairy:
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 April 24, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of
Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to George L.
Pless & Sons Dairy, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage
and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWG200000. The issuance of this COC
supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWC130010 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 George Pless & Sons Dairy Farm, located in Cabarrus County, with an animal
capacity of no greater than an annual average of 220 Dairy cattle and the application to land as specified
in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009. Pursuant to this COC,
you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this
facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and
this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Since this is a revised State
General Permit, it contains new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the
previous State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and
revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay_careful attention to the record keeping
and monitoring conditions in this permit.
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
taws, 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 [phone]. If you need additional information concerning
this COC or the General Permit, please contact J.R. Joshi at [phone].

WATER QUALITY SECTION
Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. AWC130010
George Pless & Sons Dairy Farm
Cattle Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Cabarrus County
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 Cattle Waste Operation General
Permit AWG200000. 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 April 24, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of
Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to George L.
Pless & Sons Dairy, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage
and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWG200000. The issuance of this COC
supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWC130010 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 George Pless & Sons Dairy Farm, located in Cabarrus County, with an animal
capacity of no greater than an annual average of 220 Dairy cattle and the application to land as specified
in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
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.
Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current MRCS standards are met prior to restocking
of the facility.

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 befiled 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.

Application Method: In igat.ion and broadcast (Surface and incorpornted)
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of
surface water and/or groundwater. The plant mitrient% in the animal waste ,should he tised to
reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is
to he applied,
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient, Waste should he analyzer] before
each. application cycle. Annual soil tests rare needed so that all plant nutrients can be balance-d for
realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste w0izcation plan in order to maaximize the
fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure thm it is applied in an environmentally safe. manner.
Always apply waste based on the needs of tl1P crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. 'Do not apply more nitrogen than the crap can utilize,
Soil types are important as they have different. infiltration rates, leaching
potentials, ration exchange capacities, Ind :available water holding capacities.
Normally waste shall rant be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre
Per year. Waste may he applied io land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre
annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year. providing that adequate filter
strips are ectahlished,
4, Do not apply waste on sat.urated ,soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is
frozen. Either of these conditions may re.sr;lt in. rztrao ,I si�rfar.,e waters which is
not allowed tinder DEM regulatinns,

5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the
potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied
not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
f.njPction the waste or disking will conserve flutrients and reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change
methods in the fiiture, you need to revise this plan, Nutrient levels for different application
methods are not the same.
The established acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this
type of facility, Acreage requirements should he based on the waste analysis report from yoi_rr
waste managerne t facility, In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which
r,,nu14 allow additional waste to he applied, Provisions shall he made for the area receiving waste
to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content range for specific crop
production,
This waste utiliz,a.tion plan, if carried out, meets the, requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the :Environmental Management. Commission.

NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
Yoi7r facility is designed for 150 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage mu9t he
removed on the average of once every 5 months. The "as built" volume of the waste holding
pond is 637,413 gallons or 235 acre inches. Tn no instance should the volume of the waste be
stored in your stmoture be within the, 25 year 24 hour storm_ storage or one foot of freeboard.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to enstire. that the application
equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in table 1. Failure to
apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen Enay make this plari invalid, tall your
technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the
amount of waste per arse and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.
Animal waste disposal will be completed by two methods, irrigation and broadcast application. for
this dairy operation, The irrigation system is a solid set design and is installed on Tract 473 with
hydrants in fields 1, 2, 4, 5, and 8. The farm operation has a self-propelled 3600 gallon Slurry
Tank applicator, The remaining fields listed in table 1 will receive waste throjagh broadcast
applications.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation
such that mnoff or ponding occurs, This rate is limited by initial soil moisture; content, soil
stnlcture, soil texture, water droplet. size, and organic, solids. The application amount should not.
exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant
available nitrogen. applied exceed the. nitrogen needs of the crop.
The irrigation system was designed .and h:.lilt to have three 1.62 acre guns nperating at one time.
The application rate ofthe system is 0.36 acre inches/hour/head. At this application rate, the
system will be removing 1.08 acre inches per hour from the holding pond. This will require a
minimum of 21.76 hours in empty the waste holding pond's 637,413 gallons of storage,
By operating the three guns for 2 hrs per perinrl, there will be an application of,72 acre inches per
gun. ARer the system has operated for 2 hrs at a riser, each gun will be moved down the line to
the next riser 16,.32 periods will be regiflred, with the guns moved every 2 hours, to completely
empty the waste holding pond. The total nitrogen applied each time the lagoon is emptied (basest
on waste sample; restilts of 02/16/99, 3 5 lbs N /1000 gal) will be approximately 2230,9 lhs,
:APPLICATION OF WASTE BY SLURRY TA INK
The operator has a 3600 gallon :SIurry Tank applicator and will use this to apply animal waste on
fields not covered by the waste irrigation system. Animal waste is scraped and pushed into a
holding pit which drains into the waste storage pond. There is available access to this pit which
-- allows the operator to load animal waste into the slurry tank for land application,
George Pless & Sons Dain, Page 12 01/14/02

ANIMAL WASTE UTIL17ATION PLAN
N4ANAGEIIIENT OF WASTE APPLICATION
No matter what method is used, waste is to be applied to crops and/or pasture during the growing
season when needed for nitrogen benefits or as needed for irrigation water as long a.s nitrog�;n

Operation Review/Compliance
Pless & Sons Dairy
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 available 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 clear 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 inspcetion.
• 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 [phone].

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 13-10
Cabarrus County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRR1, IRR2, DRYI, DRY2, DRY3, SLURI, 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 [phone] ext. 571.

Subject: Site Inspection
Pless & Sons Dairy
Cabarrus County, NC
Dear Mr. Pless:
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.

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 M Application for Common Crop
• Small Grains: One-third (1/3) N at planting and remainder in late February or early
March.
• Corn/Sorghum: 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 com is 18 inches high.
• Fescue/Orchardgrass: Apply one-half (1/2) of the N in mid -February to March and one-
half (1/2) in mad -August to September.
• Bermuda grass: Establishing: 30 to 401bs 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
piSducer 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 [phone].

Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study Commission on
Agricultural Waste, was enacted by the North Carolina General Assembly on June 21, 1996. This bill
requires that a certified operator be designated as the Operator in Charge by January 1, 1997, for each animal
waste management system that serves 250 or more swine, 100 or more confined cattle, 75 or more horses, '
1,000 or more sheep, or 30,000 or more confined poultry with a liquid animal waste management system. Our
records indicate that your facility is registered with the Division of Water Quality and meets the requirements
for designating an O1C.
A training and certification program is not yet available for animal waste management systems involving
cattle, horses, sheep, or poultry. Owners and operators of these systems will be issued temporary animal waste
management certificates by the Water Pollution Control System. Operators Certification Commission
(WPCSOCC). The temporary certificates will expire December 31, 1997, and will not be renewed. To obtain
a permanent certification, you will be required to complete ten hours of training and pass an examination by
December 31, 1997. A training and certification program for operators of animal waste management systems
involving cattle, sheep, horses, and poultry is now being developed and should be available by the spring of
1997. The type of training and certification required for the operator of each system will be based on the nature
of the wastes to be treated and the treatment process(es) primarily used to treat the animal waste.
As the owner of an animal operation with an animal waste management system, you must designate an
Operator in Charge and must submit the enclosed designation form to the WPCSOCC. If you do not intend to
operate your animal waste management system yourself, you must designate an employee or engage a contract
operator to be the Operator in Charge. The person designated as the Operator in Charge, whether yourself or
another person, must complete the enclosed application form for temporary certification as an animal waste
management system operator. Both the designation form and the application form must be completed and
returned by December 31, 1996.
If you have questions about the new requirements for animal waste management system operators, please call
Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt at 919n33-0026.

Subject: Certification/Notice of Violations
Pless & Sons.Dairy
Caban-us County, NC
The deadline for the certified waste management plan to be implemented is December 31, 1997,
and there will be no extension of the deadline. 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.

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.
If you have any questions concerning this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Alan Johnson or me
at [phone].

Dear George Pless:
The Non -Discharge Permitting unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject application. Additional
information is required before we can continue our review. Please address the following by November 24, 2000:
Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) lists the yield for rye grass on Tract 473, fields 2a, 2b, 4, 5, and 9 as 6
tons per acre. This is higher than currently recommended, however, we have received a letter from the'
agricultural agent in Rowan County stating that thig is a reasonable realistic yield for this crop based on the
management practices implemented on the farm. However, documentation of the higher yield capabilities
must be provided. The documentation can be yield data for the farm or yield data for the county.
Please note that all "'UP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist. Please
reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. All information should be signed,
sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below. The information requested by this letter must be
submitted on or before November 24, 2000 or the Division will return your application as incomplete in accordance with 15A
N.C.A.C. 2H .0200 and your facility will be considered to be operating without a permit.
Please be advised that operation of the subject animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and will subject you to the enforcement authority of the Environmental Management
Commission.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please call me at [phone], extension 546.

Dear George Pless:
The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject application. Additional
information is required before we can continue our review. Please address the following by April 9, 2000:
1. According to the revised Waste Utilization Plan (WUP), the number of animal at the facility is 220 head.
This is higher than the certified number of animals (150). Please contact your technical specialist in order
to have the facility recertified for the increased in animal numbers.
2.' ' Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) lists the yield for rye on Tract 473, fields 2a, 2b, 4, 5, and 9 as six tons
per acre. This is higher than currently recommended. Please contact your technical specialist to revise the
Waste Utilization Plan or provide justification that supports the increased yield as shown in the current
WUP. Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical
specialist.
3. The WUP lists the nitrogen used on tract 2645, Pied 3 for corn silage as 2484 pounds. This appears to be in
error based on the yield, uptake and acreage shown.
Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist. Please
reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. All information should be signed,
sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below. The information requested by this letter must be
submitted on or before April 9, 2000 or the Division will return your application as incomplete in accordance with 15A
N.C.A.C. 2H .0200 and your facility will be considered to be operating without a permit.

Animal Waste Operation
Cabarrus County
Dear George Pless:
The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject application. Additional
information is required before we can continue our review. Please address the following by April 9, 2000:
According to the revised Waste Utilization Plan (WUP), the number of animal at the facility is 220 head.
This is higher than the certified number of animals (150). Please contact your technical specialist in order
/ to have the facility recertified for the increased in animal numbers.
2." Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) lists the yield'for rye on Tract 473, fields 2a, 2b, 4, 5, and 9 as six tons
per acre. This is higher than currently recommended. Please contact your technical specialist to revise the
Waste Utilization Plan or provide justification that supports the increased yield as shown in the current
WUP. Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical
/ specialist. C4 Gf pC
�$ SPect�t+'s Sperial Leer
3. The WUP lists the nitrogen used on tract 2645, fled 3 for corn silage as 2484 pounds. This appears to be in
error based on the yield, uptake and acreage shown.
Cai'reQ.!4-
Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist. Please
reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. All information should be signed,
sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below. The information requested by this letter must be
submitted on 'or before April 9, 2000 or the Division will return your application as incomplete in accordance with 15A
N.C.A.C. 2H .0200 and your facility will be considered to be operating without a permit.
Please be advised that operation of the subject animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and will subject you to the enforcement authority of the Environmental Management
Commission.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please call me at [phone], extension 546.

Operation and Maintenance plan
For
Waste Storage Pond
The purpose of this plan is to provide guidelines for
carrying out the routine maintenance. work needed to keep the
waste storage pond operating as planned. Routine maintenance
is considered to be normal good care of the waste storage
pond and the surrounding area. Good maintenance adds to the
usefullness and permanence of the facility.
The routine maintenance of this waste storage pond involves
but is not limited to the following:
t. Maintenance of a vegetative cover on the embankment and
the surrounding areas% '¢`£ScQC is being established on
these areas. Beginning in&mrliAtV and each year thereafter,
the embankment and surrounding areas should be fertilized
with? /d 1, I(baApounds of or inch of effluent
from the. waste storage pond per acre to maintain a vigorous
stand.
2. Control of weeds, brush and trees in the grassed spillway_
and on the embankment: This may be done by mowin T, spraying,.
or chopping, or a combination of all three. This will be
done at least once each year and possibly twice in those
years favorable to a heavy growth of vegetation. The local
Extension Agent or SCS office, can supply the latest
information on spray materials and the best time to apply
them.
3. Protection of the grass on the embankment and surrounding
areas: Uncontrolled vehicular traffic can create trails or
ruts. Runoff from storms can enlarge. these ruts .into
gullies. If ruts appear to be forming, stop the traffic
doing the damage.
4. At the end of the designed storaged period 35�- days,
it will be necessary to completely empty this storage
facility. This will be accomplished by agitating, hauling
and applying the effluent onto designated areas as noted on
the Waste Utilization Plan Map. Spring and early fall
applications will maximize the fertillizer benefit of the
effluent. A marker will be used in the waste storage pond to
show when the maximum liquid level is reached.

S. Maintenance inspections of this facility should be made
during the initial filling,' at least annually, and after
every major storm event.;. •,
1. Embankment.. holes
a. settlement, cracking or "jug"
b. side slope stability— slumps or bulges
c. erosion and/or wave action
d. rodent damage -
e. seepage or other leakage
f. condition of vegetative cover
2. Reservoir Area
a. undesirable vegetative growth
b. undesirable floating debris
c. check liquid level to .determine if
disposal of effluent is needed
3. Fences and Gates
a. loose or .damaged posts
b-. loose or broken wires
c. open or damaged gates

Additional Information Request
George Pless & Sons Dairy Farm
Animal Waste Operation
Cabarrus County
Dear George Pless:
The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject application. Additional
information is required before we can continue our review. Please address the following by November 10, 1999:
1. Please provide lagoon capacity documentation (design, as -built calculations, etc.). Be sure to include any
site evaluations, wetland determinations, or hazard classifications that may be applicable.
2. The irrigation parameters listed in your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) exceed current recommendations.
Irrigation events are to be listed in the WUP as the maximum application allowable for that soil type from.
the time the pumps are turned on until the time they are shut off. The application events listed in your WUP
appear to be out of the Sprinkler Irrigation Guide. The Application Amounts listed in this guide have not
been adjusted for the application of animal waste. It is currently recommended that total application
amounts not exceed one inch in any application event for any soil type. If your application rates need to be
adjusted for the application of animal waste, please have your Technical Specialist revise your WUP to
reflect.the appropriate application amount per event. If the rates exceed the recommended one -inch, please
have your Technical Specialist justify the increased application rate in the narrative of your WUP.
3. Please provide an Operation and Maintenance Plan.
4. Please provide a clearer map that identifies (outlines or highlights) and shows the acreage for each field to
be used for waste application.
5. The Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) produced at the facility as listed in the WUP was generated using a
waste analysis of the lagoon liquid. The current recommendations for establishing PAN rates with waste
analyses is to calculate the PAN production rate based on at least two representative samples over a three
year period as stated in the enclosed guidance.
6. Your WUP lists the application window as May through growing season for corn and sorghum. The
application windows must be listed in months.
Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist. Please
reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. All information should be signed,
sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below. The information requested by this letter must be
submitted on or before.November 10, 1999 or the Division will return your application as incomplete in accordance with 15A
N.C.A.C. 2H .0200 and your facility will be considered to be operating without a permit.

Application Method:
Irrigation and Broadcast (surface and incorporated)
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to
reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required fox the crops in the fields where the waste is
to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed
before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are needed so that all plant nutrients can be
balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner.
Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching
potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre
per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre
annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter
strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is
frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is
not allowed under DEM regulations.
George Pless & Sons Dairy Page 1 1 1/22/00

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the
potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied
not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injection the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change
methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application
methods are not the same.
The established acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for
this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from
your waste management facility. In some cases you may wani to have plant analysis made,
which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area
receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content range for,
specific crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A
NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
Your facility is designed for 150 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be
removed on the average of once every 5 months. The "as built" volume of the waste holding
pond is 637,413 gallons or 23.5 acre inches. In no instance should the volume of the waste be
stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard.`
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the application
equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in table 1. Failure to
apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen may make this plan invalid. Call your
technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the
amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.
Animal waste disposal will be completed by two methods, irrigation and broadcast application
for this dairy operation. The irrigation system is a solid set design and is installed on Tract 473
with hydrants in fields 1, 2, 4, 5, and 8. The farm operation has a self-propelled 3600 gallon
Slurry Tank applicator. The remaining fields listed in table I will receive waste through
broadcast applications.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of
irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content,
soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should
not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the
plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
The irrigation system was designed and built to have three 1.62 acre guns operating at one time.
The application rate of the system is 0.36 acre inches/hour/head. At this application rate, the
system will be removing 1.08 acre inches per hour from the holding pond. This will require a
minimum of 21.76 hours to empty the waste holding pond's 637,413 gallons of storage.
By operating the three guns for 2 hrs per period, there will be an application of .72 acre inches
per gun. After the system has operated for 2 hrs at a riser, each gun will be moved down the line
to the next riser. 16.32 periods will be required, with the guns moved every 2 hours, to
completely empty the waste holding pond. The total nitrogen applied each time the lagoon is
emptied (based on waste sample results of 02/16/99, 3.5 lbs N /1000 gal) will be approximately
2230.9 lbs.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY SLURRY TANK
The operator has a 3600 gallon Slurry Tank applicator and will use this to apply animal waste on
fields not covered by the waste irrigation system. Animal waste is scraped and pushed into a
George Pless & Sons Dairy Page 12 1 1/22/00

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
holding pit which drains into the waste storage pond. There is available access to this pit which
allows the operator to load animal waste into the slurry tank for land application.
MANAGEMENT OF WASTE APPLICATION
No matter what method is used, waste is to be applied to crops and/or pasture during the growing
season when needed for nitrogen benefits or as needed for irrigation water as long as nitrogen
limits and infiltration rates are not exceeded.
The waste storage pond levels will be pumped down prior to November to allow storage during
the winter months when the ground may be saturated or frozen and crops are not actively
growing to take up nutrients. The waste is to be applied to the fields and crops listed in Table I
within the nitrogen limits listed. Waste will not be applied in such a manner that results in waste
runoff or over application of nutrients.
Application rates must be based on current waste analysis and applied to actively growing crops.
Waste must be analyzed as close to the time of each application as practical and at least within 60
days (before or after) of the date of application. Additionally, a representative Soil Fertility
Analysis shall be conducted annually on each application site receiving animal waste. The
results of these test shall be maintained on file for a minimum of three years. Proper records,
including maintenance, repair and irrigation (waste application) records, shall also be maintained
on site and in chronological and legible form for a minimum of three years.
The Division of Water Quality Regional Office in Mooresville will be notified at 704-663-1699
as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of the
occurrence of any of the following events:
a. Failure of any component of the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system resulting in a discharge to surface waters.
b. Spillage or discharge from a vehicle or piping system transporting animal waste to the
application sites which results in, or may result in, a discharge to surface waters.
c. Any deterioration or leak in a storage pond.
d. Failure to maintain adequate storage capacity in a storage pond that poses an immediate
threat to public health or the environment.
e. Overspraying animal waste either in excess of the limits set forth in this plan or where
runoff enters waters of the State.
f. Any discharge that bypasses a storage pond.
Also, refer to Required Specifications, Irrigation Calibration, and Waste Sampling. (attached)

Subject: Application No. AWC130010 — George Pless & Sons Dairy Farm
Cabarrus County
Dear Ms. Susan Cauley:
NOV 2 7. 2000.
DIVISION OF IIVYI#14j!}ii;FElITAL MANAGEMENT
MOORESVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE
I am providing to you the additional information requested by the Non -Discharge Permitting Unit
concerning the George Pless & Sons Dairy Farm (Facility #13-10) located in Cabarrus County.
1. I have made an adjustment for the rye grass yield in the Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) for
the dairy. The rye grass yields for Tract 47$, fields 2a, 2b, 4, 5, and 9 has been reduce to
4 tons per acre in the WUP. After meeting with Jerry Pless, the changes to the WUP
were made as needed and a revised WUP (dated November 22, 2000) for the dairy was
signed.
2. 1 have also included a Conservation Plan Map Legend for this WUP. The plan map
legend lists the total acres of each field, according to the USDA Farm Service Agency, the
acres that are available for receiving animal waste after the buffers are removed from
each field, and the current type of land use (cropland, pasture, or hay land) for each field.
The WUP includes only the acres in each field that is available to receive animal waste.
3. A duplicate copy of the WUP is also being submitted as requested.
If you should have any questions or need additional information, please give me a call at [phone].
Sincerely
K��4c�A..t1

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: GEORGE PLESS & SONS DAIRY
Facility Number: 13-10
Location: 5901 Pless Road
Rockwell, NC 28138
Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: Existing Dairy Milk Cows
Number of Animals: 220.00 head
(Design Capacity)
Storage Structure: Waste Storage Structure
Application Method: Irrigation and Broadcast (surface and incorporated)
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to
reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where 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 needed so that all plant nutrients can be
balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner.
Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching
potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre
per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre
annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter
strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is
frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is
not allowed under DEM regulations.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the
potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied
not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injection the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. I£ you choose to change
methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application
methods are not the same.
The established acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for
this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from
your waste management facility. In some cases you may wani to have plant analysis made,
which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area
receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content range for
specific crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A
NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER i50 DAYS (gallons)
220 head x 14.6 gal/head/day x 150 days x 18 hrs on lot/24 hrs/day = 361,350 gals 1150 days

HEAVIEST 5 MONTHS OF RAINFALL (gallons)
21.5" Rain — 16.67' Evap = 4.83" / 12"per ft. = 0.403 ft x 17072 ft2 S.A. = 6880 ft3
6880 ft3 x 7.48 gal/ft3 = 51,462 gals / 150 days
VOLUME OF 25 YEAR / 24 HOUR STORM EVENT (gallons)
Runoff Area
5.8" x 0.2 ac / 12"per ft. = 0.97 ac-ft. x 43,560 ft3 / ac-ft = 4225 ft3 = 31,605 gals
Pond Surface
6.0" x 0.4 ac / 12"per ft. = 0.2 ac-ft. x 43,560 ft3 / ac-ft = 8712 ft3 x 7.48 gal/ft3 = 65,166 gal.

Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate
equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown, soil
type and surface application.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
* Acreage figures may exceed total acreage in fields due to overseeding (i.e. interplanted) or
winter annuals following summer annuals.
NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the
N requirements. In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts "of
North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients.
This plan only addresses nitrogen.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
Your facility is designed for 150 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be
removed on the average of once every 5 months. The "as built" volume of the waste holding
pond is 637,413 gallons or 23.5 acre inches. In no instance should the volume of the waste be
stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard.'
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the application
equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in table 1. Failure to
apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen may make this plan invalid. Call your
technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the
amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.
Animal waste disposal will be completed by two methods, irrigation and broadcast application
for this dairy operation. The irrigation system is a solid set design and is installed on Tract 473
with hydrants in fields 1, 2, 4, 5, and 8. The farm operation has a self-propelled 3600 gallon
Slurry Tank applicator. The remaining fields listed in table 1 will receive waste through
broadcast applications.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of
irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content,
soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should
not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the
plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
The irrigation system was designed and built to have three 1.62 acre guns operating at one time.
The application rate of the system is 0.36 acre inches/hour/head. At this application rate, the
system will be removing 1.08 acre inches per hour from the holding pond. This will require a
minimum of 21.76 hours to empty the waste holding pond's 637,413 gallons of storage.
By operating the three guns for 2 hrs per period, there will be an application of. 72 acre inches
per gun. After the system has operated for 2 hrs at a riser, each gun will be moved down the line
to the next riser. 16.32 periods will be required, with the guns moved every 2 hours, to
completely empty the waste holding pond. The total nitrogen applied each time the lagoon is
emptied (based on waste sample results of 02/16/99, 3.5 lbs N /1000 gal) will be approximately
2230.9 lbs.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY SLURRY TANK
The operator has a 3600 gallon Slurry Tank applicator and will use this to apply animal waste on
fields not covered by the waste irrigation system. Animal waste is scraped and pushed into a
George Pless & Sons Dairy Page 12 . 11/22/00

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
holding pit which drains into the waste storage pond. There is available access to this pit which
allows the operator to load animal waste into the slurry tank for land application.
MANAGEMENT OF WASTE APPLICATION
No matter what method is used, waste is to be applied to crops and/or pasture during the growing
season when needed for nitrogen benefits or as needed for irrigation water as long as nitrogen
limits and infiltration rates are not exceeded.
The waste storage pond levels will be pumped down prior to November to allow storage during
the winter months when the ground may be saturated or frozen and crops are not actively
growing to take up nutrients. The waste is to be applied to the fields and crops listed in Table 1
within the nitrogen limits listed. Waste will not be applied in such a manner that results in waste
runoff or over application of nutrients.
Application rates must be based on current waste analysis and applied to actively growing crops.
Waste must be analyzed as close to the time of each application as practical and at least within 60
days (before or after) of the date of application. Additionally, a representative Soil Fertility
Analysis shall be conducted annually on each application site receiving animal waste. The
results of these test shall be maintained on file for a minimum of three years. Proper records,
including maintenance, repair and irrigation (waste application) records, shall also be maintained
on site and in chronological and legible form for a minimum of three years.
The Division of Water Quality Regional Office in Mooresville will be notified at 704-663-1699
as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours following first knowledge of the
occurrence of any of the following events:
a. Failure of any component of the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system resulting in a discharge to surface waters.
b. SpiIlage or discharge from a vehicle or piping system transporting animal waste to the
application sites which results in, or may result in, a discharge to surface waters.
c. Any deterioration or leak in a storage pond.
d. Failure to maintain adequate storage capacity in a storage pond that poses an immediate
• threat to public health or the environment.
e. Overspraying animal waste either in excess of the limits set forth in this plan or where
runoff enters waters of the State.
f. Any discharge that bypasses a storage pond.
Also, refer to Required Specifications, Irrigation Calibration, and Waste Sampling. (attached)

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to
reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where 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 needed so that all plant nutrients can be
balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner.
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching
potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre
per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre
annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter
strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is
frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is
not allowed under DEM regulations.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the
potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied
not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injection the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change
methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application
methods are not the same.
The established acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for
this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from
your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made,
which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area
receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content range for
specific crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A
NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate
equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown, soil
type and surface application.

NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the
N requirements. In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of
North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients.
This plan only addresses nitrogen.
The following legend explains the crop codes used in table above:
Cron RYE (Realistic Yield) unit lbs N per yield unit
Corn Silage ton/acre 10 lbs/ton
Barley bushel/acre 1.5 lbs/bu

*** This number must be less than or equal to 0 in order to fully utilize the animal waste N
produced. A negative number indicates more N needed than supplied by the waste.
SEE ATTACHED MAPS SHOWING THE FIELDS TO BE USED FOR THE UTILIZATION
OF ANIMAL WASTE.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
Your facility is designed for 150 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be
removed on the average of once every 5 months. The "as built" volume of the waste holding
pond is 637,413 gallons or 23.5 acre inches. In no instance should the volume of the waste be
stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the application
equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in table 1. Failure to
apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen may make this plan invalid. Call your
technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the
amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.
Animal waste disposal will be completed by two methods, irrigation and broadcast application
for this dairy operation. The irrigation system is a solid set design and is installed on Tract 473
with hydrants in fields 1,2,4,5, and 8. The farm operation has a self-propelled 3600 gallon Slurry
Tank applicator. The remaining fields Iisted in table 1 will receive waste through broadcast
applications.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of
irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content,
soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should
not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the
plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
The irrigation system was designed and built to have three 1.62 acre guns operating at one time.
The application rate of the system is 0.36 acre inches/hour/head. At this application rate, the
system will be removing 1.08 acre inches per hour from the holding pond. This will require a
minimum of 21.76 hours to empty the waste holding pond's 637,413 gallons of storage.
By operating the three guns for 2 hrs per period, there will be an application of .72 acre inches
per gun. After the system has operated for 2 hrs at a riser, each gun will be moved down the line
to the next riser. 16.32 periods will be required, with the guns moved every 2 hours, to
completely empty the waste holding pond. The total nitrogen applied each time the lagoon is
emptied (based on waste sample results of 02/16/99, 3.5 lbs N /1000 gal) will be approximately
2230.9 lbs.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY SLURRY TANK
The operator has a 3600 gallon Slurry Tank applicator and will use this to apply animal waste on
fields not covered by the waste irrigation system. Animal waste is scraped and pushed into a

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
holding pit which drains into the waste storage pond. There is available access to this pit which
allows the operator to load animal waste into the slurry tank for land application.
MANAGEMENT OF WASTE APPLICATION
No matter what method is used, waste is to be applied to crops and/or pasture during the growing
season when needed for nitrogen benefits or as needed for irrigation water as long as nitrogen
limits and infiltration rates are not exceeded.
The waste storage pond levels will be pumped down prior to November to allow storage during
the winter months when the ground may be saturated or frozen and crops are not actively
growing to take up nutrients. The waste is to be applied to the fields and crops listed in Table 1
within the nitrogen limits listed. Waste will not be applied in such a manner that results in waste
runoff or over application of nutrients.
Application rates must be based on current waste analysis and applied to actively growing crops.
Waste must be analyzed as close to the time of each application as practical and at least within 60
days (before or after) of the date of application. Additionally, a representative Soil Fertility
Analysis shall be conducted annually on each application site receiving animal waste. The
results of these test shall be maintained on file for a minimum of three years. Proper records,
including maintenance, repair and irrigation (waste application) records, shall also be maintained
on site and in chronological and legible form for a minimum of three years.

Type of Waste Facility: Waste Storage pond/solid set irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified
rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant
nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of
commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where waste is
to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting
nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and
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, leaching potential,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons
per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land
eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on
saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either
of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not
allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered
to avoid drift and downwind odor Problems. To maximize the value of
nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution,
the waste should be applied to a growing crap or applied to bare ground not
more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will
conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical
nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be
based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility.
Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques,
preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for
compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management
Commission.

The des' n of your waste management facility is based on the following:
150 animals X 4502.758* waste/animal/yr "= 675,4138 total waste produced.
*based on cows on lot 75% of time (includes lot runoff)
150 animals X 9.68 lbs N/animal/year = 1,452 lbs. total N
(4502.750/cow x 2.15 lb. N/1000G (test result))
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 352 days of storage. Therefore, it will need to
be emptied every 12 months.
The following acreage for waste application will be needed based on the -

based on realistic yield expectation.
NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while
meeting the N requirements~ Beginning in 1996 the Coastal Zone Management
Act will require farmers in some eastern counties of North Carolina to have
a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only
�~addresses Nitrogen.

NARRATIVE OF OPERATION: GEORGE PUESS & SONS DAIRY
The waste holding pond is designed for 352 day storage. Therefore it will
require emptying every 12 months. Waste is to be applimd to fescue during
Mar -June and Sept~ -Dec. Waste may be applied to corn or sorghum during the
growing 5mason when needed for nitrogen benefits or pumped as needed for
irrigation water as long am nitrogen limits and infiltration rates are not
exceeded. Note: The waste in the lagoon must be maintained at or below
the maximum liquid elevation.
The volume of the waste holding pond 90,055 cu.ft. = 24.8 acre inches.
(90,055 cu.ft. x 7.48 gal/cu.ft. / 27,152 gal/ac inch = 240 ac inches)
With the system operating three 1.62 acre guns applying 0.36 acre
inches/hr/head, the total application will be 1.08 acre inches per hour.
At an operating rate of 1.08 acre inches per hour, the system will require
22.96 hours to empty the waste holding pond's 90,055 cu.ft. of storage,
By operating the three guns for 3 hrs at a time, there will be an
application of 1.08 acre inches per gun (and a total of 3.24 acre inches
applied). After the system has operated for 3 hrs at a riser, each gun
will be moved down the line to the next riser. 7.65 applications will be
required, with the guns moved every 3 hrs, to completely empty the waste
holding pond- The total nitrogen applied each time the lagoon is emptied
(based on waste sample results of 2.15 The N /1000 gal) will be
approximately 1448.2 lbs. (90,055 cu.ft. x 7.48 gal per cu.ft. = 673,611.4
gal. x 2.15 lbs N/1000 gal = 1448.2 lbs N)
'-- The holding pond will be pumped down prior to or in early 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 pond
will be pumped as needed to provide adequate waste storage Or as needed for
irrigation water on the growing crops during the times listed in the chart
on page 2 and the attached annual application schedule.
Soils for the fields used for application of liquid waste include;
CcW-Cecil Bandy clay loam, 2 to 8 percentslopes, eroded
Ch -Chewacla sandy loam, frequently flooded
Soils for application of solids include;
CcB2-Cecil Sandy clay loam, 2 to 8 percent slopes, eroded
Ch -ChewacIa sandy loam, frequently flooded
CuB2-Cullen clay loam, 2 to 8 percent slopes, eroded
EnB -Enon sandy loam, 2 to 8 percent slopes
HwB -Hiwassee clay loam, 2 to 8 percent slopes
VaB -Vance sandy loam, 2 to 8 percent slopes
Solids will be land applied an cropland and pasture listed in chart on page
2 that is not under irrigation coverage. There is more than enough Ian(,".[
available for proper disposal and utilization of waste produced. Care
should be used if due to weather it becomes necessary to manually push
solids into waste storage pond. Safety bar should be in place.
Waste should be analyzed yearly and yearly soil samples are strongly
encouraged to better utilize waste. Refer also to specifications guide
633-2b and attachment B on waste sampling for additional specifications.

A minimum of eight applications per year is required to maintain proper
storage volume in waste holding pond. Additional applications may be
applied to maintain adequate storage or as needed for irrigation on growing
crops. One application each month listed will provide adequate storage
throughout the year under average conditions.
Application Considerations:
Special weather conditions should be noted when planning an irrigating.
Wind, soil saturation levels, predicted rainfall events, etc. should be
considered. Applications must be managed so as not to create runoff.
THE CLEAN WATERS ACT OF 1977 PROHIBITS THE DISCHARGE OF POLLUTANTS INTO THE
WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES. THE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND
NATURAL RESOURCES (DEHNR) WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT SECTION, HAS THE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR ENFORCING THIS LAW.

` WASTE. ...... .. . .
REQUIRED SPE_CIFICATTQNS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application.
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 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,
?, The Field Office must have documentation in the desi.-n folder that the producer either
owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to property 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. ,Anima waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or
an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no
greater. than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where
runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by
DEM.
a. 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.
Anima 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 da:={ ed by burning or smothering of the plant. This is an important consideration
when- SWis,e, poultry or other ammonia rich waste is being surface applied. Surface
broadcast solids or slurries may damage crops if leaf surtaces are matted. Generally waste
should be applied such that no.more than 20 to —25 percent of [lie leaf area is covered. This
sltou;d not normally be a concern where diluted, low nutrient waste is irrigated or surface
broadcast from a liquids holding structure. Where crops arc severely damaged due to

y tf fs r

t
REQUIRED SPE-CIFICATIONS
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 fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a
high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a
minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste
shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop 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 they 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.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall
not be discharged into the animal waste management system.
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum
operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition
to the one (1) toot mandatory freeboard.
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be
provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation.
Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species. etc. are limited to areas where
considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon
berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or
discharge.
19. It 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.
30. Waste l;andling 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.

Models NT120S and FRT94/35
Puma Models:
NT120S: Single stage, closed impeller centrifugal pump with a mechanical seal and
integral gearbox. The wide design impeller is capable of passing a maximum 3/4" solid.
Three gearbox ratios are available, they are for the following input speeds: 540rpm,
10OOrpm & 2000rpm. The 2000rpm pump is built to run direct from an engine and it
rotates in the apposite direction to the PTO pumps.

integral gearbox. The pump will pump most animal waste slurries except long fibrous
material which must first be run through a chopper- The pump includes a stationary knife
which will slice through. materials that ball up at the eye of the impeller_ The pump is
very aggressive with the material being pumped. It is made from spheroidal graphite
(SG) iron which is twice as strong and four times tougher than regular iron. The gearbox
ratios are the same as those listed for the NT120S above,
PTO Models are mounted on a two wheeled heavy duty cart, the large diameter wheels
are 6.70 x 15 and run on ball -bearing hubs. Pumps mounted on carts are available with
