This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until rescinded and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and limitations: I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS The animal waste management system operated under this Permit shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent the discharge of pollutants to surface waters, wetlands, or ditches. Application of waste to terraces and grassed waterways is acceptable as long as it is applied in accordance with Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS) Standards and does not result in a discharge of waste to surface waters, wetlands, or ditches. If the Facility has a discharge of waste that reaches surface waters or wetlands resulting from a storm event more severe than a 25 -year, 24- hour storm, it will not be considered to be in violation of this Permit, as long as the Facility is in compliance with its CAWMP and this Permit. No discharge of waste shall result in a violation of the water quality standards established for receiving waters as per Title 15A, Subchapter 213, Section .0200 of the North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) and Title 15A, Subchapter 2L of the NCAC. The facility's CAWMP is hereby incorporated by reference into this Permit.

FAM10.1-1w.1�1Did Mer.t"old 101"1 Animal Waste is managed as a slurry and scrapped from freestalls and holding and in 2 Waste Storage Ponds (WSP) connected in series for 3 — 120 day periods annually. Waste Storage Pond No. I collects solids and liquids and has the highest level of nutrients. As it reaches capacity liquids flow into Waste Storage Pond No. 2. Animal Waste from WSP No. I and 2 are irrigated on to adjacent cropland. Each of the waste storage ponds vary in the amount of nutrients stored. For this plan, we are treating both WSPs as one source and using NRCS standards for total amount of nutrients produced. Available Waste Samples, plus future samples are being used to establish -a nutrient concentration history for each of the WSPs that can be used for planning field application. Dairy Solid are collected from confinement barns and spread mostly on. grassland. Calves are grown out each year in outdoor hutches located on the right side of the entry road. No waste is collected from this group. Calves are grown until 6 weeks of age in the hutches, which are placed on a 6 inch gravel bed. The hutches are rotated to a fresh spot after each use. The waste is washed in and allowed to dry. Once each year the gravel is replaced and the contaminated gravel is added to heavy use areas around the farm with sufficient grass buffers. CROP NOTES This pian is set up for a one year cropping system, but some systems with grass for pasture or hay may last 8 or more years. For record keeping, continue to use the listed PAN amounts for the crop and' field. Plant Available Nitrogen or PAN is the nitrogen that the planned crop can utilize during the growing season based on the management system used. Broadcast spreading and irrigation are the systems used on this farm. Small Grains and Tall Fescue are examples of plants grown in two crop years with the crop year starting in January and ending in December. The PAN is divided into two application, fall and spring. Both applications will need to be added, for crop total. Animal waste can only be applied to land that will be harvested. In the event of crop failure after animal waste has been applied, replant another crop that can use the nutrients. Page 1 of 2 The PAN for corn grown for silage, but not needed and harvested as grain, will need a reduction by 45% due the reduction of crop residue harvested. Small Grain grown for silage, but not needed and harvested for grain, will need no reduction since the PAN is nearly the same. If small grains are grown for a cover crop, only 30 lbs. of PAN can be applied, and that amount must be deducted form the following crop. The symbol* is shown beside some RYE and PAN amounts in the Waste Utilization Tables. Approved RYE and PAN data for these crops are not available for the soil types they are being grown on and I have used yield data for similar soils in the area. RECORD KEEPING All animal waste applications should be sampled and recorded at time of spreading or irrigating and test results used for computing animal waste applications. This information, along with soil test results, provides information on the additional nutrients needed for producing the desired crops.

This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of cropflneeded to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake. This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an'estimmte of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or other 6y -products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

The Leaching Index (LI) and the Phosphorous Loss Assessment 1 (PLAT) Rating are also provided for each field, where available. If a field's PLAT Rating is High, any planned manure application is limited to the phosphorous removal rate of the harvested plant biomass for the crop rotation or multiple years in the crop sequence. Fields with a Very High PLAT Rating should receive no additional applications of manure.

This table provides a nutrient balance for the listed fields and crops for each year of the plan. Required nutrients are based on the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements and soil test results. The quantity of nutrient supplied by each source is also identified. The total quantity of nitrogen applied to each crop should not exceed the required amount. However, the quantity of other nutrients applied may exceed their required amounts. This most commonly occurs when manure or other byproducts are utilized to meet the nitrogen needs of the crop. Nutrient management plans may require that the application of animal waste be limited so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field. In such situations, additional nitrogen applications from nonorganic sources may be required to supply the recommended amounts of nitrogen.

Fields that receive manure must have an annual soil analysis for these elements. High levels of zinc and copper can adversely affect plant growth. Alternative crop sites must be used when the concentration of these metals approach excessive levels. Site life can be estimated by dividing the amount of copper and zinc to be applied in lbs/acre by 0.036 and 0.071, respectively and multiplying the result by 0.85. By adding this quantity to the current soil index for copper or zinc, we can predict life of the site for waste disposal. In addition to copper and zinc indices, this table also provides a summary of lime recommendations for each crop based on the most recent soil sample.

Available storage capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero. Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design storage capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated. If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but. less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance). 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor and- flies. i--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------=--------- 982716 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 10/20/2004 Specification Page 1 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. 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 or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters. 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 013. 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 cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land ' application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. •---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------- 982716 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 10/20/2004 Specification Page 2 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed iareas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining andimplementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. • Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels_. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. •-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------• -----•-------•-•--------------------------------------------------- 982716 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 10/20/2004 Specification Page 3 • Bell Creek Dairy ,1 Soil Survey Legend Symbol Name Texture Slope and Erosion AM Altavista fine sandy loam, 2 to 6 percent slopes AsB2 Appling sandy loam, 2 to 6 percent slopes.

MAINENTANCE AND OPERATIONPLAN .0200 Certification Plan Bell Creek Dairy SYSTEM OVERVIEW This Animal Waste Management System consists of the following components: 1. WASTE STORAGE POND 2. AGITATION AND APPLICATION SYSTEM 3. CONTAMINATED LIQUID COLLECTION SYSTEM 4. VEGETATED BUFFERS 5. LIVESTOCK EXCLUSION G. DIVERSION 7. STOCK TRAIL All solid waste will be scraped from the lots and stored in the first Waste Storage Pond (WSP #1). All contaminated water (wash, parlor and runoff] will flow or be piped into the Waste Storage Pond to be constructed (WSP #2). All waste contained in both WSPs will be land applied at agronomic rates. The WSP#1 is designed to provide 120 days storage fo'r the solid wastes produced by 258 total head, including the milking herd and the other cows and heifers that have excess to the dairy • lot. WSP #2 has a 90 day storage period. 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. • MAINENTANCE AND OPERATIONPLAN '7�,i �� � � :a.�: a i IFI �, 'I! <�ir^ �y F d n, •Ir F �� y r,; 9+ � .0200 Certification Plan 1. WASTE STORAGE POND OVERVIEW The Waste Storage Pond #1 was designed to store the waste produced from the animals as indicated in the Waste Utilization Plan, including the heifers waste that accumulates on the concrete feeding pad at souih-east end of barn, average feedlot runoff and waste water from the milk barn for a 120 day period. A permanent marker will need to be set indicating the level of storage available prior to infringing on the 25 year, 24 hour storm capacity. WSP #2 will store all polluted runoff and the runoff from the feedlot for a 25yr-24hr storm event or greater. The Waste Storage Ponds consists of an earthen dam, clay liner, and curbing for discharging contaminated water into the WSP. Max. Level Below ESW Desi Storage Period Slurry Pond 0.0' 120 days Runoff Pond 2.1' 90 days OPERATION The service life of the WSP's will be determined by the level of management for the entire system. It is expected that some solids will have accumulated in the WSP #1. The accumulated solids may need to be removed to obtain the designed volume, if not; there will be a reduction in the usable capacity. All figures computed in the Waste Utilization Plan have been figured on the designed volume after construction. Adequate waste agitation must be accomplished to prevent future solid accumulation. In contrast, poor management will result in the rapid accumulation of solids which will reduce the usable capacity of the WSP to the point that some form of dredging will be required. MAINTENANCE Vegetation on the darn 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. AGITATION AND APPLICATION SYSTEM OVERVIEW The AGITATION AND APPLICATION SYSTEM consists of a PTO driven agitation system and an Underground Main and Hydrants. The Underground Main and Hydrants were designed by Gra- Mac Distributing Co. See enclosed OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN for The Dairy Waste Irrigation System for additional details. OPERATION The initial step in each irrigation operation is to properly agitate the waste in the Storage Pond. The importance of agitation can not be stressed enough. It is very important to agitate long enough to thoroughly dilute solids that will accumulate in the WSP. In most cases this must be done for nearly a half day and others longer, just prior to pumping. If application equipment (irrigation or spreader) is owned consult owner's manuals for recommended operational procedures. 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 WSP 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 or erosion. Do not irrigate on frozen or saturated soils. Irrigate only until soil is near saturation point. It may be beneficial to start the pumping cycle before the liquid reaches the marker. Example would be if level is near marker and bad weather is forested for the area or to better time the application with the crop needs. This may help to extend the storage period during a more critical time when the weather is bad or poor crop timing. The traveling gun will travel on the vegetated travel lanes located in the fields. . MAINTENANCE Fields that receives waste application should have soil tested annually. It is advised and recommended that waste and soil sample results be used in conjunction with each other. Care should be made to stop application equipment so as to prevent waste from being applied within 25 ft of stream (See Waste Utilization Plan; Required Specifications, #11). 3. CONTAMINATED LIQUID COLLECTION SYSTEM OVERVIEW The Contaminated Liquid Collection System consists of concrete curbing around the dairy lot and PVC pipe for the conveyance of the milk room and parlor water to the WSPs. There is a scrape lane from the heifer lot in field 4a to the WSP. MAINTENANCE Inspect the concrete components of the Contaminated Liquid Collection System for cracks or other damage, and make repairs or replace as needed. The Pipe outlet components shall be inspected • seasonally for damage and repaired or replaced as needed. MAINENTANCE AND OPERATIONPLAN r f� o. .0200 Certification Plan -0 4. VEGETATED BUFFERS OVERVIEW The Vegetated Buffers serve a two fold purpose; they filter sediment from exposed feeding and lounging areas. Their width is based on slope of land and proximity to streams. These areas can be control grazed or mowed for hay to prevent unwanted growth. These buffers are used in lieu of storage structures. Proper maintenance of these buffers must be followed or a storage structure will be required. There must be a 25 ft wide buffer maintained streams and creek for waste application. There must also be a set -back along the drainage ditches duringperiods of wet weather or when the ditches carry water. MAINTENANCE Inspect the buffer periodically for sediment accumulation and erosion within the buffer. If grazing does take place caution should be practiced to prevent overgrazing. Grass should be a minimum of six (G) inches. These buffets should have at least 80% ground cover. Specified width must be maintained. 5. LIVESTOCK EXCLUSION OVERVIEW Livestock Exclusion will be maintained around the lounging areas to protect the Vegetated Buffers from over exposure from livestock. The Diversion in fld #3a&b will be fenced out to protect the diversion and aid in filtering. MAINTENANCE Inspect the Livestock Exclusion periodically for mechanical damage or rot. If fencing wire becomes loose, re -tighten to original condition. If fence posts are totted or damaged in any way, teplace damaged posts with a post which is of the proper size and type for the location of use. Refer to the Fencing Specifications for sizes and types. d. VEGETATED DIVERSION OVERVIEW The VEGETATED DIVERSION will be located above the WASTE STORAGE POND #2 between field 3b and 3a. It 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. 7. STOCK TRAIL OVERVIEW The STOCK TRAIL(S) improves access to forages and water by means of a stabilized trail which reduces erosion often caused from such walkways. The STOCK TRAIL(S) will be placed at locations indicated on sketch. It consists of an area graded, covered with a geotextile material and gravel placed on top. OPERATION The travel lane should be graded if necessary to allow proper drainage. A geotextile material of adequate strength will be placed on the soil surface. The geotextile material should be overlapped a min. of 18", The depth of gravel will need to be calculated for the particular area to be used. Refer to the specific design for the amount of gravel needed. MAINTENANCE Inspect the STOCK TRAIL(S) periodically for any soft spots or damaged areas. If the gravel gets thin, more should be applied to the recommended depth. The designed depth should be maintained over the entire area for it to remain structurally sound. • MAINENTANCE AND OPERATIONPLAN I�, i � i, iik � 5 tI?f� ,�.���c'�i M-.4 �� tS�� �rll�i i�� _�!k•ak�1 �1 f�{R�L��j, � �� `�w Wil +i� t` �i� N !c jir �.� fir. .0200 Certification Plan • GENERAL COMMENTS AGREED TO ITEMS Anypresent curbing that is damaged well need to be repaired orreplaced.

Bell Bell Creek Farm 115 Farmwood Drive Statesville NC 28625 Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. AWC490054 Bell Creek Farm Cattle Waste Collection, Treatment, Storage and Application System iredell County Dear Burt A. Bell: 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 March 7, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Burt A. Bell, 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 AWC490054 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 Bell Creek Farm, located _in Iredell County,. with .an, animal capacity of no . greater than an annual average of 146 dairy cows, 66 heifers, and 46 claves 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 CAWNW, 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 NRCS standards are met prior to restocking of the facility.

Bell Location: SR 2316 at Fourth Creek Telephone: 704-872-1292 Type Operation: --Dairy Number of Animals: 243 total animals (Design Capacity) Storage Structure(s): Waste Storage Pond (WSP) T Application Method(s):Irrigation 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. You must have the animal waste L. 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 app lied 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. 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. 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. 9 2124100 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 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 forages 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 Dai jX (type operation) 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 WSPs (storage structure) is designed for 120 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 4 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. 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. 10 2124100 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN ESTIMATE OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN Amount of Waste Produced Per Year Amount of Waste Produced Per Year: Manure Produced: No 1 -2 -Er cows x 14 gallday x 120 days x 1$&$ confin. = 28,075 cuft aAj� 164-- dry cow7.48 gal/cuft s x 14gal/daY x 120 dans x 10-� confin. = 471 tuft 7.48 gal%cift bred heifers x 10 oral/dav x 120 days x 10 confin. = 722 cuft G"7.-48 gal/cuft ('�flseu� -2_1-heifers (500-750)„ x 6 gal./day x 120 days x 10 $, confin. = 2,021 tuft T7.48 gal/cuft 1r (3,00-500) x 4 gal/day x 120 days x 10 _confin. = 103 cuft 7.48 gal/tuft rr�� � ,x 5 -heifers (2 -00 -3,00L -x-2.5 2.5 Qal/dav x 120 days x 100 confin. = 601 cuft 7.48 gal/cuft , IS -heifers (day -200) x 1.5 gal/day x 120 days x 100 % confin. = 361 cuft 7.48 gal/cuft Total Waste Produced/storage period = 32.354 cuft Normal Runoff: Drainage Area - 20,127 sgft. 14,525 cuft of volume (Refer to design packet for calculations) TOTAL VOLUMECONTAINED IN WSP #1 = 57,642 cuft/period x 3 periods/yr =140,537 cuft x 7.48 gal/cuft 1,293,486 gal/yr or 48 acin. ll: 2/24/00 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Available Nutrients WSP #1 PAN = 0.40 X 25,474 = 10,190 lbs PAN 10,190 lbs PAN/ 48 acin = 212 lbs PAN/acin = 7.8 lbs PAN/ 1000 gals WSP #2 It is estimated -that 20 lbs PAN / acin will be measured in this pond.

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 structures . The applicator is cautioned that P and K may he 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, at your operation will accumulate sludge. This sludge mu precautionary measures to prevent over a lication of nutrients or other elements. This slud " e will need to have a waste analysis performed -on it beforeatwlication takes place. The irrigation application rate should not exceed the infiltration rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such r 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 table 1. 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 forage plants under stress condition. Nitrate poisoning may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended. 13 2124/00 t 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.

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 Water Quality for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has a notarized long term agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide NRCS with a copy of a notarized 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. 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 tons 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. 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 1. provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. 23 2/24100 The waste from WSP #1 and WSP #2 will be agitated as per the "Operation & Maintenance Plan" with a waste sample taken from each and analyzed. The total amount of waste and waste water generated per year in both WSP #1 and WSP #2 is 2,544,157 gallons or 93.7 acre inches. Both Waste Storage Ponds (WSPs) have approx. four (4) months storage. It is recommended that the WSPs be emptied at least every four (4) months. It is not recommended to apply waste on cool season grasses during December through February and late May through early August. The amount of waste contained in WSP #1 is 1,311,453 gal./year with approximately 4,328 lbs. of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)/year (based on a 3 year average of actual waste analysis of 3.3 lbs./1000gal). This gives about 12 acre -inches of wastewater and 89.6 lbs. PAN/acin every three (3) months. The amount of waste water contained in WSP #2 is 1,237,704 gal./year with approximately 1,485 lbs. PAN/year. This gives about 11.4 acre -inches of wastewater and 32.6 lbs PAN/acin every three (3) months. The gun is a Long engine drive with 850 ft of 4.5" ID PE hose and a Nelson P200 gun with a 1.2 taper bore nozzle. The gun has an output of 380 gal/min.; with .35 -inch application rate it will require a travel speed of 6 ft/min. If the reel has a hose length of 850 ft. divided by 6 ft/min equals 142 min./pull. At 142 min./pull x 380 gals = 53,960 gals/pull or 2 acin./pull. WSP #1 - With 2 acin./pull x 89.6 lbs PAN/acin. = 179 lbs. PAN/pull. Given the hose length of 850 ft and an effective wetted dia. of 287 ft = 5.6 ac/pull. With 179 lbs. PAN/pull divided by 5.6 ac. = 32 lbs PAN/ac. being applied. At this low application rate it will take approximately 135 acres to empty WSP #1 every four months. It is recommended more than one application be made to the same acres at a later time as long as the total lbs. of PAN does not exceed that required by the crop. Make sure no runoff occurs. WSP #2 - With 2 acin /pull x 32.6 lbs. PAN/acin. = 65.2 lbs PAN/pull. -Given the hose length of 850 ft and an effective wetted dia. of 287 ft = 5.6 ac/pull. With 65.2 lbs. PAN/pull divided by 5.6 ac. =11.6 lbs PAN/ac. being applied. At this low application rate it will take approximately 128 acres to empty WSP #2 every six months. It is recommended more than one application be made to the same acres at a later time as long as the total tbs. of PAN does not exceed that required by the crop. Make sure no runoff occurs. The example above is used only as an example of one way to manage the structures. An option of management for the two WSP's would be to irrigate out of WSP#1 and use WSP#2 to refill WSP#1 as needed to provide better agitation and a more irrigable liquid. A special note should be made to sample the waste far proper analysis due to the dilution. *Caution needs to be made in pulling out the gun buffer areas. -A ae ae avoid over spray onto the 3- 2 22 10/11/02 S WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN ' "Tv Ii j f '` iy; � IS 1 .� ! 1 } �I i +-.`I..

Liquid waste shall be ed n q al apply at rates of 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. 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 applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 24 2124100 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN ,wR: 'i�•'`Czti�C.r�ti:'�'#A"'T}�'vl.L _�W'i':"i.:.C. REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings s g other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right -df -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 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 of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon/holding 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. 25 2/24100 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN '� _ ry:rp •x' .aa...�-ai r �, "���R - ra ye j�,. w.yv P tip' -f' ri ! .��If"„F„ 'll�.;'�i�+�M�`". is�b�s".��,d'^..r�'hw�a'��.'3'k.��'�..x :}... i...h4 '•'�r,r).�4�.1::k��..� Yt!•V.. :7.:�i": �'.

Additional information is required before we can continue our review. Please address the following by March 18, 2000: 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. 2. Your WUP lists the nitrogen application rate on rye grass as 182 pounds per acre. This is higher than the currently recommended 100 pounds per acre on any winter annual. Please contact your technical specialist to revise the WUP or provide justification that supports the increased application rate 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. On page 17 of your WUP, there appears to be a small typo. Field 4 is listed as being in corn silage but the yield and application amounts are the same as for rye grass. Please review and have your technical specialist revise as necessary. 4. Best Management Practices (BMPs) that are to be implemented at this facility should be identified (check the appropriate BMPs) on the Mortality Management Checklist. 5. Your certification indicates that your irrigation system was installed after September 30, 1996. Since it was installed after that date, your irrigation design must be part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. Please submit this. 5. Your facility was certified for 220 dairy animals on November 24, 1998. With your application, you submitted a certification amendment for 243 total animals in order to correct the certified number. The WUP submitted and the included calculations are all based on 258 total animals (15 additional calves). We cannot permit a facility for a higher number than it is certified for. Please review this with your technical specialist and submit a revised certification amendment, if necessary. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 Telephone 919-733-5083 FAX 919-715-6048 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/ 10% post -consumer paper Application No. 49-0054 Burt Bell Page 2 Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist.

There is a pretty decent summary of the requirements at the bottom of this email chain: A few highlights: - No annual fee - No OIC requirement Basic recordkeeping is required: - Freeboard - Waste application - Soil analysis - Waste analysis Records not required: - Crop yield - Rainfall - Mortality/stocking They are still required to keep records anytime they apply waste. They are also required to have current waste and soil analysis done. The idea of the zero -animal permit is to keep inactive farms under permit coverage, but to give them a break on some of the requirements that active farms have.

I advised him prior to reviewing the attached correspondence that a certification is required to apply animal waste, until proper closure of the structure has been completed and documented. Burt plans to continue to pump out his Storage Pond as needed onto adjacent fields even though he now has a Zero Population Permit. He has stated that he may begin to work with Iredell SWCD/NRCS toward proper closure in the near future. To maintain consistency in the Mooresville Region, in the past we have typically required an operator's certification to pump out Lagoons/Storage Ponds in similar situations (even if essentially water) until proper closure has been completed. Reason = verification of the removal of solids/sludges accompanies the closure documentation. What are your thoughts on this? jb E-mail correspondence to and from this address may be subject to the North Carolina Public Records Law and may be disclosed to third parties.

Burt Bell <burtabell@yahoo.com> Date Sat, 8 Mar 2008 08:42:55 -0800 (PST) To: james.bealle@ncmail.net I faxed my 2007 Soil Analysis to you Friday. On the other hand, sending my Waste Analysis results will not be quite as prompt. However, the news is good. After you left the other day I had to do a "mental tracer". I remembered taking the waste sample to Piedmont Research Farm, paying the amount I was told there, and asking them to send the sample to Raleigh. I called the Agronomic Division, they informed me that my sample -had been processed, and they would back date and mail the results to me, (after I paid them one dollar more). Everything is now on go. I will fax you a copy of the waste results and my recalculations. Thank -you for your cooperation. Burt Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.

Bell Bell Creek Farm _ 115 Farmwood Drive Statesville NC 28625 Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. AWC490054 Bell Creek Farm Cattle Waste Collection, Treatment, Storage and Application System Iredell County Dear Burt A. Bell: On .lune 11, 2004, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued a revised State General Permit for animal facilities. The General Permit was issued in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733 (Session Law 2003-28). To correct the facility's animal capacity and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this corrected Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Burt A. Bell, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWG200000. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Bell Creek Farm, located in Iredell County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 146 Dairy Cows, 46 Calves, 66 Heifers, 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, and shall hereby void the COC dated October 1, 2004, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein. 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 PIan has been developed based on site-specific information, careful evaluation of future samples is necessary.

Certificate of Coverage No. AWC490054 Bell Creek Farm Cattle Waste Collection, Treatment, Storage and Application System Iredell County On June 11, 2004, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued a revised State General Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733 (Session Law 2003-28). In accordance with your application received on March 7, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Burt A. Bell, 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 supersedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWC490054 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 Bell Creek Farm, located in Iredell 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.

Thorpe, Ph.D., Acting director Division of Water Ouality WATER QUALITY SECTION January 14, 2402 Operation Review/Compliance Bell Creek Farm, Facility #: 49-54 lredell 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 64 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 (704) 663-1699.

Bell: A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part,of your plan. An evaluation by Rocky Durham on 4123199 was made to review the actual number of acres at your facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X". - Category 1: The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Rocky Durham the necessary information to potentially exempt your facility from. undergoing a complete wettable acre determination. Please submit this information to Rocky Durham, at 919 North Main Street, Mooresville, NC 28115, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have 'any questions please contact Rocky Durham at (704) 663-1699. If within 90 days you are unable to provide Rocky Durham with the information you are automatically required to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2 below, within 180 days of receipt of this letter. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone 919.733-5083 Fax 919-715-6048 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Notification for Wettable Acre Determination Animal Waste Management System Page 2 Category 2: ❑ Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this designation, or a Professional Engineer. All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWQ within the next 180 days. It the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation, and/or injunctive relief. Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan must be kept at your facility. DWQ,and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification. 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.

In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers. Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRR1, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLURI, SLUR2, SLD1, 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.

In general the facility appeared to be in good shape. However, the following deficiencies were noted during the inspection: 1) The vegetation on the main storage pond needs -to be maintained. 2) Rye grass needs to be included in the waste management plan. . 3) A copy of the animal mortality checklist needs to be included in your files. Please note that during many of Mr. Johnson's inspections he has noted that some farms are often missing one or more components of the farm plan that should be available for review. The following items must be available for review by the inspector during the inspection: • Certification forms. • Site Diagram, which shows fencing, streams, buffer zones,,and feed areas. • Waste Application records, with -accompanying waste analyses. • Maps of acreage and irrigated fields. • Waste Utilization plan, tract/field.number.,,usablelwettable acres .(not -necessarily total acreage), list of crops, PAN required,.and amount of waste produced 'by livestock. • Waste and Soil analysis information.

N91 NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES MOORESVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY November 13, 1998 Burt A. Bell 178 Bell Farm Rd. Stateville, NC 28677 Subject: Site Inspection Bell Creek Farm, Facility #: 49-54 Iredell County, NC Dear Mr. Bell: 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 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 unpennitted 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. 019 NORTH MAIN STREET, MOO R ESVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA 2$11$ PHONE 764-663-1 699 FAX 704-663-6040 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY /AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER . 809E 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 N Ap12lication for Common Crops: • 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 corn 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 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 Ibs 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 anal, (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 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. If you have questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Johnson or me at (704) 663-1699. Sincerely, D. Rex Gleason, P. E.

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 Iong 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.

Hunt, Jr., Governor Burt A. Bell Rt. 15, Box 246 Stateville, NC 28677 Dear Mr. Bell: bb [DEHNR DMSION OF WATER QUALITY September 15, 1997 Subject: Certification/Notice of Violations Bell Creek Farm, Facility #: 49-54 Iredell 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. 919 North Main Street,Ni;CAn �FAX 71]4-653"6040 Mooresville, North Carolina 28115 Equal Opportunity{Affirmative Action Employer Voice 704-463-1699X14, "� 50% recycled/ 10% 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.

Enclosed with that letter was an Operator in Charge Designation Form specifically for your facility, Instructions for Completing Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management System Operator, and an Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management System Operator. Our records indicate that these completed Forms have not yet been returned to our office. As was explained in the previous letter, a training and certification program is not yet available for animal waste management systems involving cattle, horses, sheep, or poultry (with a liquid waste system). Therefore owners of these systems were allowed to request,that they be issued temporary certifications until December 31, 1997. All that was required to receive this temporary certification was the completion of the Application Form. For you convenience, we are sending you additional copies of the Operator in Charge Designation Form specifically for your facility, Instructions for Completing Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management System Operator, and an Application for Temporary Certification as an Animal Waste Management System Operator. Please return this completed Form. to this office as soon as possible but in no case later than April 25, 1997. This office maintains a list of certified operators in your area if you need assistance in locating a certified operator. Please note that failure to designate an Operator in Charge of your animal waste management system, is a violation of N.C.G.S. 90A-47.2 and you will be assessed a civil penalty unless an appropriately certified operator is designated. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as absolving you of the responsibility and liability for any past or future violations for your failure to designate an appropriate Operator in Charge by January 1, 1997.

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 919/733-0026. Sincerely, cop.. Steve W.
