Animal Operation Site Inspection
Hood's Dairy, Facility #: 18-18
Catawba County, NC
Dear Mr. Hood:
Enclosed is a copy of the site inspection report for the inspection conducted on May 7, 1997 by Mr. Alan
Johnson of this Office. The report should be self-explanatory. If problems or deficiencies are indicated in the
report, please take the necessary action to address the problems as soon as possible.
The removal of waste from the lagoon needs to be continued. It was observed that the lagoon had been
discharging through the spillway. This is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 (a).
Concerning your records, everything looked to be in order. However, a site schematic of your facility is needed
and the waste application forms need to be properly filled out.
Because your operation is below the animal threshold, a form has been enclosed for you to fill out and mail to
Raleigh, This will remove your facility from the state register upon acknowledgement by this office.
Acknowlegement will be forthcoming upon verification that the lagoon has been pumped.
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. Any further
correspondence related to the subject inspection will be sent under separate cover. If you have any questions
concerning this report, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Johnson or me at [phone].

D, Rex Gleason, P. E.

Catawba County
Dear H. Durayne Hood:
This is to acknowledge receipt of your request that your facility no longer be registered as an animal waste
management system per the terms of 15A NCAC 2H .0217. The information you provided us indicated that your
Operation's animal population does not exceed the number set forth by 15A NCAC 2H .0217, and therefore does not
require registration for a certified animal waste management plan.
Under 15A NCAC 2H .0217, your facility is deemed permitted if waste is properly managed and does not
reach the surface waters of the state. Any system determined to have an adverse impact on water quality may be
required to obtain a waste management plan or an individual permit. You are reminded that a discharge of wastes to
the surface waters of the state will subject you to a civil penalty up to $25,000 per day.
Should you decide to increase the number of animals housed at your facility beyond the threshold limits
listed below, you will be required to receive approval from the Division of Water Quality prior to stocking animals
to that level. Threshold numbers of animals are as follows:
Swine
250
Confined Cattle
100
Horses
75
Sheep
1,000
Poultry with a liquid wastes stem
30,000
If you have questions regarding this letter or the status of your operation please call Sonya Avant at

• WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: Hood Dairy
Location:NC28168
Telephone:704A62-1463
Type Operation: _ DAIRY _ - --
Number of Animals: 75 MILKINQ CAWS _
(Design Capacity)
This animal waste utilization plan has been prepared as a component of
the total waste management system for the HOOD DAIRY dairy located in
Vale in CATAWBA County, North Carolina. Such a plan is a required
compliance part of 15A NCAC 2H.0217 as adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission, and may be required as a part of a cost share
program including the North Carolina Agricultural Cost Share Program
whenever cost sharing -is provided for components of a agricultural
waste management system. The terms of the N.C. Cost Share contract
require that the landowner/operator manage the waste generated at this
operation in accordance with this plan.
This plan has been developed with the.following as basic objectives:
1. Protection of soil and water resources from improper
application and/or discharge of solid or liquid waste
generated at this operation.
2. Maximum use of animal waste for the production of crops and
forage and the improvement of soil tilth through the
incorporation of organic waste material, while minimizing
the need for commercial fertilizers.
3. Land application of waste in such a manner as to minimize
public criticism and complaint and to avoid potential legal
action either civil or -by regulatory agency as a result of
illegal waste discharge.
Never allow the waste storage pond to overflow or waste to flow around
the embankment and into the stream. This would constitute a direct
discharge and could result in stiff fines if detected.by NCDEM.
Sufficient cropland and/or forage land is available on this farm to
apply waste based on nitrogen requirements. However, Nitrogen may not
be the limiting factor and soil test reports should be used to
determine actual field loading rates of animal wastes. .

• WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
7. Establish a policy of allowing the storage pond to never get
above the maximum operating level. This may require an
irrregular pumping sequence to empty the pond.
Several management record keeping sheets are included to help you in
maintaining a record of waste application on each field, on soil test
reports, and waste analysis.
r7AT.
.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 to determine nutrient content before each
application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that
all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop
to be grown.
• Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization
plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to
ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
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. With special
precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to
10 tons per acre per year.
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 North Carolina Division of Environmental Management
(NCDEM) .0200 regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems.
• 6. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and
to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be
applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more
than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.

• WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Waste should be spread everyday when it is practical and weather and
soil conditions permit between November 15 and April 15. Weather
conditions during this period maybe such as to make it very difficult
to manage the waste in accordance with this plan. It will be during
this same period that animals are likely to remain confined on the lot
for an extended period. Careful management of waste during this
period is essential.
Early establishment of cover crops and management of both grass and
cover crop for hay and silage.will help in managing the waste
application problem. Fields which are accessible during poor weather
conditions should be managed such that waste can be applied to those
fields during critical periods.
Without careful management of waste application year-round, the
following situation will likely result:
1. The waste storage pond will be full
2. Weather and soil moisture conditions will be such that most
available fields are not accessible
• 3. Fields which are accessible have already had waste applied
to them at maximum agronomic rates.
4. Any application of waste at this time represents a violation
of this waste utilization plan. Failure to pump waste out
of the tank will result in overflow of the tank which
constitutes a direct discharge.
This situation can be avoided by proper planning 6 to 12 months in
advance. The following is a recommended method:
1. Make a list of all fields on which waste can be applied
2. Rate each field by how accessible it will be to spreading
equipment during wet and/or freezing weather.
3. Maintain a record of the volume of waste applied to each
field.
4. In good weather apply waste first to fields which are not
easily accessible during poor weather.
5. Save fields which are more accessible during poor weather so
that they are available for waste application in emergency
conditions.
6. Solids may be stacked on the lot under the roof and not
pushed into the pond. Liquids will leach from the stack
pile and enter the tank. Such a stack pile may be difficult
to maintain during wet, humid weather.

NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
Animal waste solids will be scraped into the waste storage pond and
handled as a slurry. All runoff water is diverted around the waste
• storage pond, except that which fall directly on the concrete lot
and on the surface of the pond. The waste slurry will be pump —
agitated and tank hauled to adjacent crop or pastureland fields for
agronomic disposal. The waste holding pond is designed to store
wastes for 180 days.
This revised and updated waste utilization plan <for land
application) superceeds-the original design elements. There is
adequate land available for animal waste disposal according to this
design.
Your facility is designed for /g o days of temporary storage and
the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
• REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land
application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day
by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge
continues.
2.
There is sufficient cropland and grassland available on this farm to utilize the
animal waste under a rigid and well managed program of land application.
However, it is anticipated that it will be both necessary and profitable to apply
waste on other nearby tracts not owned by Mr. LANDOWNER NAME. The Field
Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer has long
term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. The producer
shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a
landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing. him the use of the land
for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the
responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste
Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of
animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3.
Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for
realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate
conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the
rate of application for other nutrients.
4.
Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource 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.- If waste application on such fields is desired or
anticipated, contact the YOUR COUNTY County Soil and Water Conservation
District for assistance in planning and installing the appropriate filter strips.
5.
Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application.
Waste should not be. applied when the wind is blowing.
6.
When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled
crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not
occur during a season prone to flooding. Flooding of low lying areas can occur at
any time of the year in this area. Typically flooding occurs predominantly due to
thunderstorms during the months from May to October. Most fields which may be
subject to flooding on this farm will normally be in corn silage during this period
and will normally not receive waste application during these months. Required
buffer areas from streams and residential area will generally provide sufficient
buffers from flood prone areas.
11)

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
• REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when
the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the
crop is not damaged by burning or smothering of the plant. This is an important
consideration where swine, poultry or other ammonia rich waste is being surface
applied. Surface broadcast solids or slurries may damage crops if leaf surfaces are
matted. Generally waste should be applied such that no more than 20 to 25 percent
of the leaf area is covered. This should not normally be a concern where diluted,
low nutrient waste is irrigated or surface broadcast from a liquids holding structure.
Where crops are severely damaged due to 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. If waste application on such fields is desired or
anticipated, contact the YOUR COUNTY County Soil and Water Conservation
District for assistance in planning and installing the appropriate. filter strips.
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.
11. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks,
etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system.
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a
maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm
event in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.

18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on ail disturbed
areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation
shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the
vegetation. Vegetation such as- trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are
limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed
and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for
evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate
the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a
regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance
checklist should be kept on site.
21. Highly visible permanent markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom
elevations of the temporary storage of the animal waste storage structure.
PUMPING, HAULING, OR CLEAN -OUT shall be managed to maintain the liquid
level between the markers. A marker is also required to mark the maximum storage
volume for waste storage ponds.
22. Soil tests shall be made every two years.
Liquid waste analysis will be needed as per the waste management plan.
Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC regulations.

DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY
September I5, 1997
Subject: Certification/Notice of Violations
Hood's Dairy, Facility #: 18-18
Catawba 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].

Subject: Notice of Violation
NCGS Statute 143-215.1 (a)
Animal Operation Site Inspection
Hood's Dairy, Facility #: 18-18
Catawba County, NC
Enclosed is a copy of the site inspection report for the inspection conducted on May 7, 1997 by Mr. Alan
Johnson of this Office. The report should be self-explanatory. If problems or deficiencies are indicated in the
report, please take the necessary action to address the problems as soon as possible.
The removal of waste from the lagoon needs to be continued. It was observed that the lagoon had been
discharging through the spillway. This is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 (a).
Concerning your records, everything looked to be in order. However, a site schematic of your facility is needed
and the waste application forms need to be properly filled out.
Because your operation is below the animal threshold, a form has been enclosed for you to fill out and mail to
Raleigh. This will remove your facility from the state register upon acknowledgement by this office.
Acknowlegement will be forthcoming upon verification that the lagoon has been pumped.
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. Any further
correspondence related to the subject inspection will be sent under separate cover. If you have any questions
concerning this report, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Johnson or me at [phone].

Dear Mr. Hood:
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 OIC.
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 9 ign33-0026.
Sincerely,
FOR
