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 of our staff at (919) 733-5083 ext 571.

LIVESTOCK EXCLUSION All solid waste will be flushed from the pens and stored in the WASTE STORAGE POND. Waste will be irrigated from the WASTE STORAGE POND at agronomic rates. The WASTE STORAGE POND is designed to provide 280 days storage for the wastes produced by 680 weanling to finish hogs. Also contaminated runoff will flow into the WASTE STORAGE POND. This structure is designed to provide storage for polluted runoff, wash water and manure for a 180 days period and provide storage space for the twenty-five (25) year, twenty-four (24) hour storm runoff from the watershed into the pond. This Animal Waste Management System is designed to prevent discharge of Animal Waste Contaminates to surface waters from the twenty-five (25) year, twenty-four (24) hour storm, as required under the Non -discharge regulations. All maintenance and operation costs are the responsibility of the landowner and cannot be cost shared. Dennis overcash Swine Farm Iredell County, N.C. June 18, 1997 1. WASTE STORAGE POND OVERVIEW The WASTE STORAGE POND is designed to store manure, polluted runoff and wash water for a 180 days period. Additional storage space is included to contain the twenty-five (25) year, twenty- four (24) hour storm runoff. A post will be installed with the level of the top of post indicating the level of storage available prior to infringing on the 25 year, 24 hour storm capacity. The maximum storage level is 0.7 ft. below the emergency spillway elevation. The WASTE STORAGE POND consists of an earthen dam and PVC pipe for discharging contaminated water and manure into the structure. OPERATION The service life of the WASTE STORAGE POND will be determined by the level of management for the entire system. Once the manure reaches the WASTE STORAGE POND, how effectively the waste is agitated will determine the amount of solids which remain in the WASTE STORAGE POND. Over time it is expected that some solids will accumulate in the WASTE STORAGE POND. The accumulated solids should not reduce the usable capacity of the WASTE STORAGE POND to a point which requires removal of the solids for many years IF adequate waste agitation is maintained. In contrast, poor management will result in the rapid accumulation of solids which will reduce the usable capacity of the WASTE STORAGE POND to the point that some form of dredging will be required. If inadequate agitation is performed, this dredging operation could be required in a very short period of time. If at any point in the future the usable capacity of the WASTE STORAGE POND becomes reduced to the point that solids must be removed, the removal of these solids will be at your expense. This would be part of the maintenance of your system and cannot be cost shared. Dennis Overcash Swine Farm Iredell County, N.C. June 18, 1997 MAINTENANCE Vegetation on the dam should be inspected periodically and reseeded as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. The dam should be mowed at least annually to prevent woody growth. Mowing operations must take place only when the soil of the dam is dry, and vegetation should not be mowed to a height of less than four(4) inches at any time. Any evidence of sloughing or seepage should be reported to the Iredell Soil & Water Conservation District office. 2. WASTE WATER PIPE OVERVIEW The waste water pipe consist of pipe from finishing house to waste storage pond. MAINTENANCE Inspect the components of the PIPING SYSTEM for cracks or other damage, and make repairs or replace as needed. Inspect the drop structures seasonally and remove accumulated solids. 3. IRRIGATION AND AGITATION SYSTEM Colthl" ;60011 The IRRIGATION AND AGITATION SYSTEM consists of a Pump, requiring large tractor with H. P. specified, with a suction line and pipe to irrigation fields. See irrigation evaluation for design data. OPERATION Iredell Soil & Water Conservation District staff and/or USDA - Natural Resources Conservation Service staff will be present during the first irrigation operation to assist in determination of optimum equipment calibration level required for each setup. Irrigation operation should be initiated prior to the liquid level reaching the full storage level marker in the structure. When the liquids level in the WASTE STORAGE POND reaches the marker, liquids must be removed by pumping from the structure, either into the irrigation system or to a spreader tank for land application. Do not irrigate in such a manner as to cause runoff Dennis Overcash Iredell Country, N.C. 2 Swine Farm June 18, 1997 or erosion. Do not irrigate on frozen or saturated soils. Irrigate only until soil is near saturation point. MAINTENANCE Soil test the irrigation fields annually. Vegetation in the irrigation fields should be inspected periodically and reseeded as needed to insure a vigorous stand. Fields may also need to be limed and fertilized annually. it is essential that neither vehicles nor livestock be allowed to create travel lanes within the irrigation fields. The irrigation fields should be mowed at least annually to prevent woody growth. The irrigation fields may be control grazed or mowed for hay. Grazing and mowing operations must take place only when the soils are dry, and vegetation should not be grazed or mowed to a height of less than four (4) inches. 4. VEGETATED DIVERSION OVERVIEW A VEGETATED DIVERSION will be located above the WASTE STORAGE POND and will convey non -contaminated runoff around the structure. MAINTENANCE The vegetation in the diversion should be inspected periodically and reseeded as needed to insure a vigorous stand. It is essential that neither vehicles nor livestock be allowed to create travel lanes within the diversion. The diversion should be mowed at least annually to prevent woody growth. The diversion may be control grazed or mowed for hay. Grazing and mowing operations must take place only when the soils are dry, and vegetation should not be grazed or mowed to a height of less than four (4) inches. If sedimentation has reduced the capacity of the channel, contact the Iredell Soil and Water Conservation District for technical assistance in correcting this problem. 5. LIVESTOCK EXCLUSION OVERVIEW LIVESTOCK EXCLUSION is installed around waste storage pond. Dennis Overcash Swine Farm Iredell County, N.C. June 18, 1997 MAINTENANCE Inspect the LIVESTOCK EXCLUSION periodically for mechanical damage or rot. If fencing wire becomes loose, re -tighten to original specifications. If fence posts are rotted or damaged in any way, replace damaged posts with a post which meets the original specifications. 9. GENERAL COMMENTS PESTICIDE USE Extreme care should be exercised with the use of all herbicides so that desirable vegetation, especially that of diversion and dam, is not adversely affected. It is a violation of law to use any pesticide in a manner not permitted by its labeling. To protect yourself, never apply any pesticide in a manner or for a purpose other than as instructed on the label or in labeling accompanying the pesticide product that you purchase. Do not ignore the instructions for use of protective clothing and devices and for storage and disposal of pesticide wastes, including containers. REPAIRS Notify the Iredell Soil and Water conservation District if repairs or major modifications are required for any of the components of this Waste Management System.

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. You must have the animal waste analyzed to determine nutrient content as close to the time of application as practical and at least within 60 days of the date of application before each application cycle. Soil nutrients in all fields where waste will be applied must be analyzed at least annually so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Soil test and waste analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 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. Lime must be applied to application fields as recommended by soil test to maintain the plant uptake of nutrients. 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, (see Required Specification No. 4) waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN ..... ............ X. is f:+i;r;tti:; {J. {%:i:#�:i:iy:;;:�::;i:;:s �:i:f �:��:+$i•v:.:::::�r:v.. 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 a violation of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) .0200 regulations. 5. Wind conditions at the time of field application of waste 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. Otherwise apply waste no earlier than 30 days prior to planting a crop or prior to foraes breaking dormancy. Injecting or otherwise incorporating the waste below the soil surface will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. 7. Zinc and copper levels in the soils in all fields where waste is applied shall be monitored and alternative application fields shall be used when these metals approach excess levels. This plan is based on waste application by _irrigation >method(s) of application) for this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to alter the method of application in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for various waste application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for _finished hog systems in North Carolina. Actual acreage requirements shall be based on waste analysis reports from storage structures in your waste management system. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. Your waste storage pond is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every six (6)_MONTHS. If your facility is unroofed, in no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be higher than the maximum storage marker except in the event of a 25 year, 24 hour storm. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. OA WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN The waste management system which is covered by this waste utilization plan shall be operated only by persons which hold a valid certificate as an operator in charge of an animal waste management system. The North Carolina Water Quality Commission will provide training and certification of operators. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 (the .0200 rules) adopted by the Water Quality Commission. 3 0 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Steady state live weight = 135 lbs/hoo_X_680 hogs = 91,800 lbs.

An estimate of Plant Available Nitrogen is made in the tables that follow but this will vary significantly depending on the number of hogs finished. The size of the irrigation area should be adjusted based on actual test of the water sample. Ell WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Total animal waste and waste water volume generated in one year is approximately 42_ acre -inches per year. 5376 - Total lbs. PAN per year C� 128 lbs PAN per ac -in. Applying the above amount of waste as calculated above is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. Values used above are based on analysis of waste from similar livestock operations in North Carolina (source: USDA- NRCS FOTG Practice Standard 633 -Waste Utilization) . Actual nutrient content of the waste from this system may vary from these values. Waste analysis should be made of the actual waste as soon as possible after significant waste accumulates in the storage structure(s). 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. 5 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN The irrigation application rate should not exceed the infiltration 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. It is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in tables 1 through 5. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying forae plants under stress condition. Nitrate poisoning may occur in livestock. Samplinglorage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended. 0 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN WASTE APPLICATION TABLES The crop fields shown in the Waste Application Tables that follow are available for waste application. It will not be necessary and may not be desirable to apply waste to each of these fields in any given year. The Lbs. of Nitrogen Per Acre shown in the tables are estimated annual nitrogen (N) requirements of the crop to be grown based on the potential productivity of the soil and assuming no double cropping. The Recommended Lbs. of N to be Applied per acre indicates the Nitrogen that can be reasonably applied to the crop and used by the crop in a timely manner using animal waste alone. It will not be practical to meet all the nutrient needs of some crops with animal waste. Supplemental applications of commercial fertilizer may be required during the growing season in order to meet all crop nutrient needs. It is assumed that for certain row crops only a fraction of the total annual nitrogen requirement can be applied using animal waste. The landowner shall record the actual waste application volume made on each field on the Department of Water Quality Waste Application Record Form.

All solid waste will be flushed from the pens and stored in the WASTE STORAGE POND. Waste will be irrigated from the pond at agronimic rates. The pond is designed to provide 180 days storage for the waste produced by the 680 weanling to finish hogs. All maintenance and operation costs are the responsibility of the landowner and cannot be cost shared. Prior to pumping the pond will be agitated. Layout pipe and set guns up. Prime and start the pump. Throttle and discharge until pipe is full and water is pouring out the gun. Gradually increase pressure until pressure on a gauge at the gun reads 70 psi. The maximum irrigation amount per set up is 0.6 inches. If gun precipation rate is 0.38 in/hr, the run time is 1.6 hours. The total application per year is based on nutrient content of waste. Drain the system after each application. The system shall not be run when it is raining, soil is saturated, soil is frozen and when wind speed is over 10 mph. The system shall be monitored and there shall be no runoff from the site. The system shall be field calibrated to verify that system functions as planned. Additional pipe may be need to be purchased as the longest line needs to be 3200 feet. See map of the pulls layed out on the field photos.

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 Water Quality for every day the discharge continues. 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. Actual yields may be used in lieu of realistic yield tables at the discretion of the planner. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 irons per acre per year. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If a RMS or 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 DWQ. fSee FOTG Standard 393 - 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing or any other condition exists which may cause a danger of drift from the irrigation field. 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 9rovided the application does not occur during a season prone to �r A;—,c fQ�PFVXT"+Vt "r �VIA ire XT --411. rN"ry —T—F? — +I. - 14 I. - 14 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not 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. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 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. On soils with a high potential for leaching, multiple application at lower rates should be used. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production & reduce the potential for pollution, the waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil, or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal). Animal waste (other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995,) shall not be a plied closer than 25 feet to surface water. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips and _Standard 92 - Ri ark n Forest Ru er 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 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN - El,�' ETn ED SPECg7CATIONS 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 prion converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways which discharge directly into water courses. If animal waste is to be applied on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates and in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover ofap roppriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon%pholding pond 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/holding pond areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon/holding pond berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing an "approved closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, Piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied preplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible permanent markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds.

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 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 corm at tasseling or bermuda grass in November is of little use for the uptake of nitrogen). Also, the established application rate assumes that the previous crop has been removed from the field. 919 NORTH MAIN STREET, MOORESV I LLE, NORTH CAROLINA 26115 PHONE 704-663-1 699 FAX704-663-6040 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY /AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER -50% RECYCLED/10% POST -CONSUMER PAPER 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 Crops. • Small Grains: One-third (113) 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 corn Is 18 Inches high. • Fescue/Orchardgrass: Apply one-half (112) of the N in mid-February to March and one- half (1/2) in mid-August to September. • Bermuda grass: Establishing: 30 to 40 lbs N/ac at planting and 30 to 60 lbs N/ac when runners appear (6 -8 wk. after planting). Maintaining: 50 to 60 lbs N/ac in April and the remainder of the recommended amount in equal increments in June and July or after each cutting. Finally, there have been instances where the amount of waste pumped (as shown in the waste application records) from the lagoon/storage pond does not appear to agree with the amount of waste produced by the animals. One would expect on an annual basis that the amount pumped would be approximately equal to the amount being produced. For example, if a dairy is generating 453,000 gal/yr in waste, then approximately 453,000 gallons of waste should be accounted for in the waste application records over a year. However, there may be some difference due to how low the storage pond was pumped, the number of cows being held in the facility, or the amount of rainfall. Soil analysis (FREE) Fifteen to twenty (15 to 20) soil samples per field (20 acres or less) is desirable. The samples should be thoroughly mixed and sent in as one sample. Each sample should be pulled 4 inches deep for pastures and no -till systems and 8 inches deep for conventional tillage systems. Taking samples during the fall is advisable. The state lab is not as busy at that time and can provide a more timely turn around with the results. This is also a good time to apply lime if recommended by the soil test. When liming is necessary, it is important that it be applied as suggested. Maintaining proper soil pH is as important (if not more so) than fertilizing to maximize crop production. Page 3 Waste sam les anal si ($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 producer 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.

This letter is to advise you that this office has no record of having received the required Certification for the subject facility. Please provide this office with an explanation as to why this Certification was not submitted as required. This explanation must be received within 30 days following the receipt of this letter. Any existing facility owner which did not submit the required certification by the deadline is no longer deemed permitted to operate their animal waste management system. Therefore, if the certification was not submitted as required and the facility is still in operation, this facility is being operated without a valid permit. N.C.G.S. 143-215.6(b) allows the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to take appropriate enforcement actions for this violation for as long as the violation continues. As per Senate Bill 1217, which was ratified on June 21, 1996, the Environmental Management Commission (EMC) may enter into a special agreement with facilities that did not meet the December 31, 1997 deadline. These special agreements can only be issued to facility owners which signed up for assistance with their local Soil and Water Conservation District Office by September 1, 1996 and which can demonstrate that they made a good faith effort to meet the December 31, 1997 deadline. The special agreement, if issued, would contain a specific schedule for the facility to follow to develop and/or implement an approved animal waste management plan. Attached is an application for a special agreement between the EMC and the subject facility. If you can demonstrate that this facility can meet the conditions for a special agreement, you may send this request along with your explanation as to why the plan has not been developed and implemented. This request would also be due within 30 days from receipt of this letter. P.O.

This Review, undertaken in accordance with G.S. 143-215.101), is one of two visits scheduled for all registered livestock operations during the 1997 calendar year. The Division of Water Quality will conduct a second site inspection. During the Review, it was determined that waste was = being discharged to the waters of the State, and the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and disposal systems were properly maintained and operated under the responsible charge of a designated operator. However, the following management deficiency was discovered and noted for corrective action: failure to install start and stop pumping markers within the ponds. This management deficiency needs to be addressed and corrected. You are encouraged to contact your certified technical specialist if additional assistance is needed. During ensuing reviews, this same deficiency will be re-examined to determine if corrective action was implemented. In order for your facility to remain in compliance with environmental regulations, animal waste cannot be discharged into the waters of the State, and the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and disposal systems must be =per] y maintained and operated under the responsible charge of a certified operator. Please remember that you are required to obtain and implement an approved animal waste management plan by the end of this year. The plan must be certified by either a designated technical specialist or a professional engineer. For additional assistance with the plan, please contact your local Soil and Water Conservation District Office or local Cooperative Extension Service Office. The Division of Soil and Water Conservation appreciates your cooperation with this Operation Review. Please do not hesitate to call me at 704/663-1699 ext. 277 if you have any questions, concerns or need additional information.

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 pian and mortality & odor control checklist Regarding waste application records, all information should be recorded. This includes (but is not limited to) the field used, total minutes waste was applied (if required), the amount of waste irrigated/ hauled, the amount of nitrogen applied and the crop nitrogen balance. The crops and fields that are being utilized for waste application must be specified in the certified waste management plan. For those facilities that grow hay, the date when the hay is harvested should be recorded. If you feel the plan does not allow you the flexibility you need, contact a technical specialist to have the farm plan modified. For lagoons/storage ponds, remember that a freeboard of 12 inches plus an additional 5 - 9 inches (depending on location) for a 25 year/24 hour rain event must be maintained from the top of the storage pond/lagoon. If there is an emergency spillway/pipe, then the level must be maintained to compensate for a 25 yr/24 hr storm. A pumping marker must also be installed. This may be a pipe or other structure that is already in the lagoon. Whatever the marker is, it must be prominently identified. 919 North Main Street, �y� FAX 704-663-6040 Mooresville, North Carolina 28115 An Equal Opportunity/Affirmotive Action Employer Voice 704-663-1699 500% recycled/ I T1. post -consumer paper Page 2 The question often comes up as to what warrants a Notice of Violation (NOV). An NOV may be issued for the following instances, among others: a) inadequate freeboard, b) inadequate land for waste application, c) application on an unapproved crop/acreage, d) discharge of waste from lagoon/facility, e) excessive vegetation on the sideslopes of a lagoon/pond, or f) other minor deficiencies. Examples of a deficiency would be the waste or soil analysis forms not being up to date or the application records not being filled out properly. Please note, failure to submit the certification form by December 31, 1997, does not exclude you from the responsibility of maintaining your storage pond/lagoon levels and waste application records. Also, please be advised that North Carolina General Statutes provide for penalties of up to $10,000 per day per violation as well as criminal penalties for violations of state environmental laws and regulations.

The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H .0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty. If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office.
