Indian Trail, NC 28689 Subject: Breached Lagoon Joy Autry Farm, Facility: #90-15 Union County, NC Dear Mr. Cassidy: On June 18, 2000 this Office received a report regarding a breached lagoon at the old Joy Autry Farm in Union County. In speaking with the Autry's it was brought to our attention that the farm had been sold. Subsequent investigation led this office to you as the current owner. It is not clear who breached the lagoon, but as the current owner you are now responsible for the proper maintenance of the lagoon and the waste application fields. Should you decide to close out the structure, the remaining waste (sludge) in the lagoon must be land applied at agronomic rates. A closure plan must be obtained and certified by a technical specialist. In the mean time, soil should be place back into the breach of the dam to prevent water from entering or leaving the lagoon. For assistance on the proper maintenance and closure of the lagoon you should contact your. local Soil and Water Conservation Office. It is requested that a written response be submitted to this office by July 15, 2001 indicating the actions taken to correct the noted problem. Please address your response to the attention of Mr. Johnson. If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Johnson or me at (704) 663-1699. Sincerely, D.

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.

The waste disposal system is in place and consists of a holding pond with 117,000 ft3 of volume. Liquid effluent is applied on 3.7 acres of tifton Bermuda through an in ground irrigation system with moveable heads. Solid waste is removed as necessary and applied to cropland with a truck mounted tank. Approximately 20 acres total are available on farm for waste disposal. WAjTE UTILIZATIGJ FLAN Producer: Joy Autry Location: Philadelphia Church Rd 1-1/2 mile S Dr Blair/ P Church Rd Intersection Telephone: 704624-6369 Type Operation: Swine (feeder/finish) Number of Animals : 1640 (Design Capacity) The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown and surface application: Table 1: ACRES OWNED BY PRODUCER Tract Field Soil Crop Lbs. N Acres Lbs.

If nutrients from other sources such as commercial fertilizer are applied, they must be accounted for. N must be based on realistic yield expectation. WA.JTE UTILIZATI4-; PLAN NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. Beginning in 1996 the Coastal Zone Management Act will require farmers in some eastern counties of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses Nitrogen.

The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements.See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water. Your facility is designed for days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every days. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed 18" from low Roint In top of dam..

Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within_ a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. it is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.] 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking.after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.) (continued next page) WA.;TE UTILIZATI4_ I PLAN 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide unifomuty 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 no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil. 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public rights -of -way. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainage ways 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 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. from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. WAJTE UTILIZATI4�i PLAN 18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site.

Innes St. Department of Conservation Salisbury, N.C. Agriculture Service 28144 Subject: ENG - Design Approval Solid Set Waste System To: P.R. Loudermilk District Conservationist Monroe, NC DATE: October 28, 1991 File Code: 210 This memo is approval of the design submitted for the solid set waste disposal system for the Joy Autry farm designed by Kings Manor. This system is for application of effluent from a 800 feeder to finish swine operation. The system consist of a 7.5 hp motor, 3" main line, 5 sprinkler heads and the other material to make the system function. There is some disagreement between the waste management plan and the design prepared by Kings Manor. Kings Manor's design shows a total of 22 outlets. The waste management plan has three pumping area for the 5 sprinklers or 15 outlets. The waste management plan should be revised to shoW--4~ pumping areas and. 11 pumping cycles. Otherwise, the application of waste would be in the range of 500 lbs. of N annually. Also included in this design was a request from Wayne Moser to approved a cost other than that in the Ag. Cost Share average cost for fescue for sprigging bermuda grass in the disposal area. It is my understanding, the TRC will only pay the cost of establishing fescue for any type of vegetation the landowner wishes. If a change in this basic policy has occurred please provide me with additional information as to the specifics of the new policy on paying for establishment of vegetation under the NC Ag. Cost Share Program. After the system is installed, Kings Manor will need to supply written certification that all material and work are in accordance with the design. The data submitted for review and proval are attached. Vernon J es Civil Engineer Attachment c: T.H. Wetmore, Jr. W.S.

Additional information is required before we can continue our review. Please address the following by June 27, 1999: 1. An Inspection of this facility done by the Division of Water Quality on April 27, 1999 states that this facility is currently below threshold capacity of swine (250 animals) and that the facility may be closed this year. If you are not currently operating this facility at more than 250 swine, you may request removal from the Division of Water Quality's system by filling out the attached form. All of your records will be kept on file by the Division. If you request removal, you will no longer be required to receive a permit from the Division at this time. if you decide to repopulate above 250 swine in the future you would be required to receive a permit at that time. Should you decide to return the attached form requesting removal, you will not have to address items 2 — 6 of this letter. 2. The Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) submitted calculates the amount of nitrogen produced for the number of animals at this facility after treatment by an anaerobic lagoon. However,.it appears that this facility utilizes a storage/holding pond and not an anaerobic lagoon., Please have a technical specialist review your WUP and determine the correct amount of plant available nitrogen produced at this facility. 3. Please submit an Operation and Maintenance Plan. 4. Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) list the nitrogen application rate for Bermuda on Tract 3786, field 6 as 400 pounds per acre. This is higher than currently recommended in documentation available to the Division of Water Quality. Please contact your technical specialist to review the Waste Utilization Plan and provide documentation that supports the increased application rate as shown in the current WUP or revise the WUP to current guidance. Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed acid dated by both the .owner and the technical specialist. 5. Best Management Practices (BMPs) that are to be implemented. at this facility should be identified (check the appropriate BMPs) on the Insect Control Checklist and on the Odor Control Checklist. P.O.

GOVERNOR NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES MOORESVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY November 24, 1998 Joy Autry 4023 Van Sneed Rd. Marshville, NC 28103 Subject: Site Inspection Joy Autry Farm, Facility #: 90-15 Union County, NC Dear Mr. Autry: Mr. Alan Johnson of this office has been asked on several occasions about the appropriate time and proper method to take soil and waste samples. Also, during his inspections, he has noticed that while the storage capacity may be adequate in the storage pond/lagoon, in some cases it was not at the level set forth in the waste utilization plan. Mr. Johnson has also noted that some animal operations using hay/pasture systems do not appear to be properly managing the hay crop in the waste application fields. This letter is to highlight some concerns and provide some general guidance for the animal facilities regarding the management of the storage pond/lagoon and waste application fields. For more specific/detailed information, please contact your technical specialist or your local agricultural extension service. Be advised that should a farm be found violating its farm plan and/or have an unpermitted discharge, besides facing civil penalties, the facility could be required to apply for an individual permit. Currently, most farms are operating under a general permit. Waste applications Just as you manage the animals at your facility, proper management of the waste (lagoon/storage pond level) is important. The waste must be pumped from the ponds at the correct time and provide for maximum utilization of the nutrients by the crop. Remember, waste application rates in your farm plan are based on agronomic principles, and assumes the waste will be applied when the nutrients are required (e.g., applying waste to corn at tasseling or bermuda grass in November is of little use for the uptake of nitrogen). Also, the established application rate assumes that the previous crop has been removed from the field. 919 NORTH MAIN STREET, MOOREBViLLR, NORTH CAROLINA 28115 PNoNE 704-663.168e FAX 704-663-6040 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY/AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER -50% RECYCLEO/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 Recommendatio-T-Ls for Nitrogen CM &plication 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 com is 18 inches high. • Fescue/Orchardgrass: Apply one-half (1/2) of the N in maid -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. V Page 3 Waste sa Wiles/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 pr6ducer 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. cc: Union SWCD Non -Discharge Compliance Unit Regional Coordinator Sincerely, -(} D.

Your primary concern seems to center around the lack of a sufficient stand of bermudagrass, limiting potential nutrient uptake. It is important to note that even though your primary interest is waste disposal, the Bermdagrass should be considered as a distinct system, separate from the swine operation. Focusing on the forage as a separate entity, and applyiiug the principles designed to maximize forage output, will result in maximum forage yields as well as maximum nutrient removal. The following recommendations should help in this regard: -Overseed (volunteer may be sufficient) with ryegrass following your next cutting. Ryegrass will remove 40lbsfdry ton of nitrogen and under normal growing conditions will accumulate from 20 to 30 lbsfacre per day. -Early to mid February, inow and bale ryegrass. Once sufficient regrowth occurs (4-6 inches) apply grannoxone at .25lbs active per acre. Begin scouting of Bermuda at this point for signs of the plants breaking dormancy. -At the first sign of growth, begin application of effluent to encourage growth of Bermuda, suppressing competition of competing species. -Decreasing the time between harvests will increase exposure to sunlight and encourage the spread of the existing plants. We did not discuss in great detail your nutrient loading, but based on the nitrogen levels from your analysis and your estimated hay production (20 bales@9001bs@75% dry matter=6.75 dry tons@40lbs nitrogen/dry tau=27011)s of nitrogen). If I recall correctly, you had only applied around 105 lbs this year, so you are in no danger of overloading. Employment and program opportunities are offered to all people regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability. North Carolina State University, North Carolina A&T State University, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and local governments cooperating. Bermudagrass on our heavier clay soils is somewhat difficult to establish but quality stands can eventually be established. Hopefully, this will give you some direction. In the meantime, if I can be of additional assistance, do not hesitate to contact me. Sincerely, &4Z �. Jerry B.

I have completed water application record. I have contacted the man to cut the hay and he will cut it as soon as possible. It has been cut twice already. It has rained over 14" in 30 days here and it hasn't been possible to get the hay off without it rotting. I have had Ag. Ext. agent Jerry Simpson out to the farm and he has told me how to improve the bermuda cover and that there is always rye grass cover in the winter to take -up part of the waste. We have had so much rain lately that the other grass has outgrown the bermuda. Jerry told me what to spray with to kill the other grass.

Marshville, NC 28103 Subject: Certification/Notice of Violations Joy Autry Farm, Facility #: 90-15 Union County, NC Dear Mr, Autry: 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 Borth Main Street, W�y.

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 fj 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 S 10,000 per day per violation as well as criminal penalties for violations of state environmental laws and regulations. If you have any questions concerning this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Alan Johnson or me at (704) 663-1699. cc: Union SWCD Facility Assessment Unit Regional Coordinator AJ Sincerely, 1� -i.-V- -�.t D.

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. Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996. Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this requirement please call Beth Buffington or Bang Huneycutt of our staff at 919/733-0026. Sincerely, Pector .E. A.
