Dear Mr. Stevens:
ENV. %PANAGEMENT
FAYETTEVILLE REG. OFFICE
PIease find enclosed the animal waste management plan and completed certification form
for Prestage Farms, PX-18 as per your directive in correspondence from your office dated
October 31, 1995. (Note: Per the verbal directive from a representative of your office
on December 27, 1995 this plan and certification form is not to be returned by Prestage
Farms to the Water Quality Section Operations Branch,)
This animal waste management plan explains collection, storage, treatment, and land
application processes for PX-18 to ensure that the farm will operate in an environmentally
acceptable manner. I have met several times on the farm site with Mr. John Ray of the
USDA -Natural Resources Conservation Service in Cumberland County to develop this
plan and complete the certification.
The following is presented to provide further summary of the situation at PX-18 and the
response of Prestage Farms to the conditions outlined in your October 31 correspondence.
1. Discharge was immediately eliminated.
2. On behalf of Prestage Farms, I met with district conservationist John Ray on
November 6 at the farm site. We reviewed the waste utilization plan, evaluated
immediate needs, and walked over the fields to determine what conservation practices
were needed to prevent future problems. He recommended the following:
a. land smoothing to eliminate ponding;
b. establishment of adequate ground cover; and
c. obtaining an operation and maintenance plan for the irrigation system.
3. In our communication to your office dated November 15, 1995, we outlined several
actions to be made by Prestage Farms. The following have been completed:
a. ryegrass has been drilled in all fields;
b. additional land for spray field has been cleared;

remaining areas of field #3 will be completed..
d. When irrigation occurs at PX-18, an operator will remain on site to evaluate
the irrigation system and spray field to prevent over -application.
e. Application records will be maintained by the operator for each irrigation event.
Should you need clarification regarding any of the information within this
communication or the enclosed plan and certification form, please contact me. Thank you
for the cooperation shown by your office as we have worked to respond in a timely and

14. Number and type of livestock: 1250 Swine
15. Length of time animals have been, are, or will be stabled, or confined and fed or
maintained in any 12 month period.
Twelve (12) months.
16. Are crops, pasture, or post harvest residues sustained in the normal growing season
over any portion of the lot or facility?
Grass has been partially established on the designated spray fields. However,
there are large areas of the spray field that are totally void of vegetation.
Additionally, spray fields were not established in such a way to maximize uptake
of waste and there were numerous channels of erosion which indicated past
runoff.
17. Type of Waste Management System:
Waste system is the standard flushing system of slotted floors over flushing pits.
Waste is flushed as needed from floor or pits into waste lagoon prior to spray
irrigation. Lagoon water is recycled as flush water. On an "as need" basis, the
lagoon is spray irrigated onto designated spray fields. The spray system is a solid
set system with stationary risers positioned throughout the spray fields.
18. Description of other animal operations in immediate vicinity and proximity to same
or other surface waters:
There are two or three farms in the immediate vicinity. They are approximately
one half to three fourths of a mile from the Seaverdam Creek.

Clarence Haithcock, Local Resident
23. Are pollutants discharged in the waters of the State? M,
If so, how?
Runoff from oversaturated spray fields is flowing directly into wetlands area that
buffers Beaverdam Creek. Runoff was visually traced by observation at time of
runoff by a local resident.
24. Do or have discharges occurred in response to a storm event less severe than the 25-
year, hour storm? YES
It has been determined that discharges of waste have occurred due to the lack of
attention to detail. On more than one occasion there have been instances of over
application of waste to the designated spray fields. This over application resulted
In massive ponding and the eventual exiting of waste from the spray fields via
numerous eroded channels.
25. What is the degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to public
health, or to private property resulting from the violation?
The discharge has caused the introduction of nutrients into the wetlands area,
that can cause or add to the possibility of algal blooms and accelerated
eutrophication of the waters of the receiving stream. AIso, samples taken
Indicate elevated fecal coliform levels downstream of the facility.

AMMAL OPERATION INSPECTION FORM
Page 4 of 5
26. What is the duration and gravity of the violation?
Based on observations made during the investigation, DEM staff observed
discharge that lasted at least over a 24 hour period. A video of the spray area
Indicates the evidence of large quantities of waste water runoff. This type of
violation exhibits a lack of attention to detail In the proper application of waste.
It also indicates a lack In emphasis of the importance of monitoring the
application of waste in order to avoid such an incident as this. Such violations
not only affect water quality but have implications that proceed beyond the realm
of water quality issues and can sway public perception negatively thereby adding
stress to an already sensitive issue.
LM
27. Water Quality Assessment:
Based on the results of samples taken upstream and downstream of the area of
interest, and.other Investigation of the site and surrounding area there is minimal
impact at this time to waters of the state. There was no evidence of degradation
to plant and animal life in Beaverdarn Creek, Class C SW, a tributary to South
River, or any signs of algae blooms, dissolved oxygen depletion or other problems
that would effect the standards established for acceptable water quality.
However, continued violations of this sort can result in adverse effects on water
quality.
28. What is the cost of rectifying the damage?
The writer observed no areas that cleanup activities would be recommended. Any
cleanup would cause adverse impacts to nearby wetlands. There has been no
report of downstream impacts outside the area of the Investigation.
29. What Is the amount of money saved by noncompliance?
There was no record of money saved by noncompliance. Prestage Farms, Inc.,
was in the process of preparing the land application site when the violation
occurred. However all preparation of land application sites should have been
completed prior to any application of waste. All efforts should have been made
to achieve this end.
30. Was the violation committed willfully or intentionally?:
YES — NO X_

ANIMAL OPERATION INSPECTION FORM

Explain: There was no obvious Intent to commit a violation on the part of Prestage
Farms, Inc. As stated earlier, this is a case of failure of paying attention to
detail.

Subject: Response to Notice of Violation and Correspondence from the Fayetteville
Regional Office dated 10/31/95 regarding Prestage Farms, PX-18, Cumberland
County
Dear Mr. Stevens:
In response to the above communication received by Prestage Farms on November 2, 1995, we
would like to formally respond with a recount of the events which led to your determination of
a violation occurring at our PX-18.
On October 17, 1995, an employee of the land management department of the swine division of
Prestage Farms began land application of effluent from the lagoon at PX-18 in Cumberland
County. The farm's irrigation system, a recently installed solid set system, had been used
minimally on one occasion prior to October 17.
In the early evening hours of October 17, another employee, swine division manager Zack
McCullen, visited the PX-18 farm site. Under minimal light conditions available at that hour,
he observed some ponding of water in a spray field on the farm. The irrigation system was not
operating at that time, but Mr. McCullen was concerned that over -application had occurred.
As a result, he immediately notified a staff member of your regional office about the situation
he observed on PX-18 and asked that a representative visit the farm the next day. He also
checked the irrigation system to ensure that it could not be activated for further application.
(It is my understanding that your office received a citizen complaint on October 18 regarding the
occurrence on PX- 18. Visual evidence recorded on the farm site by this citizen was also
submitted.)
Mr. Michael Moody of your office visited the farm on the afternoon of the following day,
October 18. On behalf of Prestage Farms, I met with Mr. Moody at that time to provide any
information or assistance that could aid in his evaluation of the situation.
In addition, that same day, I telephoned Mr. John Ray of the USDA -Natural Resources
Conservation Service in Cumberland County for an appointment to discuss the farm's waste
HIGHWAY 421 SOUTH 9 P. 0, BOX 43B + CLINTON, N. C. 28328 9 PHONE. [phone]

November 15, 1995
utilization plan. Prestage Farms also proceeded with an evaluation of the land application process
that had occurred on the previous day to determine if over -application resulted from system
malfunction, system tampering, or operator error.
Prestage Farms concurs with your office that over -application of lagoon effluent did occur on
PX-18 as a result of irrigation on October 17, 1995. After much consideration, we have
concluded this resulted from an accidental situation caused when the system operator erroneously
evaluated the maximum application time for that specific spray field.
Prestage Farms did not, and has never, intentionally violated the rules governing water quality
for livestock farms in North Carolina. The situation at PX-18 has brought considerable concern
to us at Prestage Farms despite the fact that the over -application resulted in minimal
environmental impact. Prestage Farms will not allow a situation such as this to continue and we
are acting to correct and prevent any further negative occurrences at this farm. Specifically, the
following actions have been taken regarding the three conditions you outlined in your recent
communication.
1. Discharge was immediately eliminated. As stated earlier, Mr. McCullen ensured that the
irrigation system was not in operation when he visited the site on October 17. In addition,
no application has occurred on PX-18 since that day.
2. To ensure there will be no further over -application, I met with district conservationist John
Ray on Monday, November 6 at the farm site. We reviewed the waste utilization plan, and
walked over the fields to see if other best management practices are needed to prevent future
problems. He recommended the following;
a. land smoothing to eliminate ponding;
b. establishment of adequate ground cover, and
c. obtaining an operation and maintenance plan for the irrigation system.
As a result of my consultation with Mr. Ray, Prestage Farms has formulated the following
plan of action.
a. Drill ryegrass in all fields to establish adequate winter cover before December 1,
weather permitting: (Ryegrass was broadcast on all fields in October 1995 and a few
days later heavy rains prevented a uniform stand from being achieved.)
b. Before April 30, 1996 disk and land smooth areas of fields to eliminate pockets that
cause ponding.
c. Before April 30, 1996 sprig coastal bermudagrass in fields #1 and #2 and sprig areas
in field #3 that do not have adequate cover. (Coastal bermudagrass is being estab-
lished in field #3. Fields #1 and #2 were cleared this summer to be sprigged in spring
of 1996.)

d. The irrigation system is currently being reevaluated in regard to spray area, nozzle
size, spacing, pipe size, spray zones, and application rates for incorporation in a
detailed irrigation operation and maintenance plan.
e. When further irrigation is required on PX-18, an operator will remain on site to evalu-
ate the system and spray fields to prevent over -application. Adequate application
records will also be maintained by the operator after each irrigation event.
3. When the above mentioned irrigation system reevaluation is completed, I will meet with Mr.
Ray to complete the requested animal waste management plan and certification. I an-
ticipate completion of this plan and certification process by mid -December, well before
the deadline of 60 days set forth by your office.
While we understand that you have recommended enforcement action for the occurrence on PX-
18, we request that you .take the following in consideration.
1. A representative from Prestage Farms made immediate contact with one of your rep-
resentatives when the situation was discovered and requested a DEM evaluation.
2. Before receiving any notice of violation from your office, Prestage Farms took action
to evaluate the reason for the occurrence, and began procedures to eliminate any further
problems.
3. Prestage Farms has established a plan of action to comply in entirety with the conditions as
set forth by your office and has acted in a manner of cooperation and timeliness in its efforts.
4. The environmental record of Prestage Farms indicates responsible management practices by
our organization. No previous violations have occurred on farms operated by Prestage Farms.
5. While Prestage Farms considers any environmental violation serious, the accidental occurrence
on PX-18 led to minimal environmental impact.
Should you need any clarification of the information contained in this communication please do
not hesitate to call me at 910-592-5771. Thank you for your consideration and cooperation.

2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a
detailed justification for such request:
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the

factual or legal issues in dispute. You must execute and return to this office
the attached waiver and stipulation form and a detailed statement which you
believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-

(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage
resulting from the violation;

However, as we wed, it seems to make more sense for us to engage in same settkmortt
Negotiations otn�sW4 in order to avoid the costs of medbW m. I have had the sham to discuss
this case ia some more detag with our client, and warned to share with you their thoughts, as well
as a prop me, to resolve the case. :
As with many civil, penalty cases, our client's main complaint with the Fmdmp upon which
the " penalty was based relates as much to the description of the Findings, as it does to the
a=uW cif the penalty. Based upon dbcuuk= with our client, we bclieve the Mowing to be
the relaymt facts in the case:
Qu Octob4ir 17,' 1995, a Prestage Farms employee was applft effiuent from the lagoon
onto the spray gelds, and inadvarmatly left the spray briptlon equipment on longer than he
should have. In the only evening bourn on that day, another employee, Swine Division Manage
Zack McCullen, observed same pondh4 of effluent on the spray field. He contacted your client's
regional, office ibat day, and admd a representarfve to visit the fa= the next day.

Dear Mr. Hutchinson:
On March 7, 1995 this office received a citizens complaint concerning swine waste
entering an Unnamed Tributary to Plum Branch. In response to that complaint members of the
Fayetteville Regional Office Water Quality staff conducted an onsite investigation later that same
day.
Regional Staff upon inspecting the above stream visiting the C.E.R, Inc. swine facility
discovered that swine waste was being spray irrigated in a manner that allowed waste to
discharge to a nearby stream. At the time of the investigation staff members instructed you to
immediately cease irrigation and take what actions are necessary to prevent such discharges from
reoccurring. By allowing this discharge to take place, you have effectively made an outlet into
waters of the State without the appropriate permit, a violation of NC General Statute 143-
215.1(a)(1).
The purpose of this letter is to advise you to (1) take immediate action to prevent
discharges in the future, (2) that a report is being prepared and will be forwarded to our
Enforcement and Compliance Group with recommendations for enforcement actions. As this
office does not make final decisions in this matter you will be advised in the future of the final
decision in this case.
-continued-
Mr. Hutchinson
March 17, 1995

Also, you will receive correspondence requiring you to submit an approved and certified
waste management plan, providing specific details relating to waste management strategies.
Failure to address this violation in a timely manner may subject you to further enforcement
actions.
Should you need additional information or clarification concerning this matter, or if this
office can be assistance, please do not hesitate 'to contact either Mr. Michael Wicker, P.E.,

C.E.R., Inc., Ronald Hutchinson Swine Farm
Bladen County
Dear Mr. Hutchinson:
Animal Operations in the State have been deemed permitted by the Division of
Environmental Management in accordance with Title 15A of the North Carolina
Administrative Code, 2H, Rule .0217. An individual non discharge permit is not required if
certain criteria are met. A major requirement to be deemed permitted is that there must not
be a discharge of any wastewater from the operation to the waters of the State.
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and notification that your animal operation
has been found discharging wastewater to the surface waters of the State and is therefore no
longer deemed permitted as a nondischarge facility under 15A NCAC 2H .0217. Therefore
the existing wastewater treatment system serving your animal operation is currently being
operated without a permit as required by North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1. This is
based on an investigation conducted by regional staff March 7, 1995. The investigation,
prompted by a citizen's complaint, revealed that waste was being irrigated in a manner that
caused a discharge to an Unnamed Tributary to Plum Branch.
If you wish to be reconsidered for coverage by the deemed permitted provision of the
Rule, you must: 1)immediately eliminate the discharge of wastewater; 2)make any
modifications needed to ensure there will be no future discharges; 3)send in an approved
animal waste management plan by completing the attached certification form. This form and
a copy of your plan must be returned to:
Division of Environmental Management
Water Quality Section Planning Branch
P.O. Box 29535
Raleigh, NC 27626-0535
Your approved animal waste management plan must explain how you will collect,
store, treat and land apply your animal waste to the land in an environmentally acceptable
manner. To assist you in the development of this plan and to provide the required
certification that the plan is acceptable, you should contact your local agricultural agencies

such as the Soil and Water Conservation District, the USDA Soil Conservation Service, or
the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service.
If we have not received the requested certification within 60 days of receipt of this
letter of if there are additional discharges to the surface water, a civil penalty of up to
$10,000 may be assessed and you may be required to apply for an individual non discharge
permit from the Division. This permit, if issued, will contain monitoring and reporting
requirements determined to be necessary by the Division.
If you have any questions concerning this matter please do not hesitate to contact either
Michael Wicker, P.E., Water Quality Regional Supervisor for our Fayetteville Regional
Office at [phone] or Dianne Williams Wilburn at [phone], ext. 233.

October 31, 1995. (Note: Per the verbal directive from a representative of your office
on December 27, 1995 this plan and certification form is not to be returned by Prestage
Farms to the Water Quality Section Operations Branch.)
This animal waste management plan explains collection, storage, treatment, and land
application processes for PX-18 to ensure that the farm will operate in an environmentally
acceptable manner. I have met several times on the farm site with Mr. John Ray of the
USDA -Natural Resources Conservation Service in Cumberland County to develop this
plan and complete the certification.
The following is presented to provide further summary of the situation at PX-18 and the
response of Prestage Farms to the conditions outlined in your October 31 correspondence.
1. Discharge was immediately eliminated.
2. On behalf of Prestage Farms, I met with district conservationist John Ray on
November 6 at the farm site. We reviewed the waste utilization plan, evaluated
immediate needs, and walked over the fields to determine what conservation. practices
were needed to prevent future problems. He recommended the following:
a. land smoothing to eliminate ponding;
b. establishment of adequate ground cover; and
c. obtaining an operation and maintenance plan for the irrigation system.
3. In our communication to your office dated November 15, 1995, we outlined several
actions to be made by Prestage Farms. The following have been completed:
a. ryegrass has been drilled in all fields;
b. additional land for spray field has been cleared;

In addition, we will follow this plan of action.
a. By April 30, 1996 areas that have been cleared will be established in either
temporary cover or permanent vegetation.
b. By April 30, 1996 disking and land smoothing of field areas to eliminate
pockets that cause ponding will be completed.
c. By April 30, 1996 sprigging of coastal bermudagrass in fields #1 and #2 and
remaining areas of field #3 wilI be completed.
d. When irrigation occurs at PX-18, an operator will remain on site to evaluate
the irrigation system and spray field to prevent over -application.
e. Application records will be maintained by the operator for each irrigation event.
Should you need clarification regarding any of the information within this
communication or the enclosed plan and certification form, please contact me. Thank you

Enclosed are copies of the CPA-02 - Highly Erodible Land and Wetland
R Determination forms for TractAM 3963 and 5747. This is the official
determination for Farm Bill purposes for the areas marked in yellow and
red by the ASCS office.
Tracts 3962 and 3963 have hydric soils mapped on them. These wetland
areas are not flagged -on the ground, but are marked on the soils map
and the ASCS aerial photo. Just before clearing, someone from my office
can accompany the bulldozer in order to direct the clearing to avoid the
wetland. Please.contact my office when 'you need to dd'this.
Tract 5747 has isolated wetland spots located on them. They have Veen
flagged in the field. SCS will need to meet with with yogi to show these
sites and assist in directing the clearing of the non -wetland, so that
no hydric soils are cleared.
Under provisions of the 1985 Farm Bill you have 15 days to appeal my
decision to determine that these areas are wetlands.
If I can provide you with more information, please contact my office.

SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS
----------------------------------------------------------
Clearinq:
All trees and brush shall be removed from the construction area
before any excavatinq or fill is starter!. Stumps will be removed
within the area of the foundation of the embankment and fall areas
and all, excavated areas. All stumps and roots exceedinq one (1)
inch in diameter shall be removed to a minimum depth of one (1)
foot. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The
foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly before placement of
embankment material.
Cut—off Trench:
---------------
A cut—off trench (when specified) shall be installed as shown in
the plans.
Construction:
-------------
Construction of excavated and earthfill areas shall be performed to
the neat lines and grades as planned. Deviations from this will
require prior approval of the SCS. Earthfill shall not be placed
in standinq water and reasonable compaction of the fills shall be
performed by the construction equipment or sheeps—foot roller durinq
placement. The embankment of the laqoon shall be installed usina
the more impervious materials. Construction of fill heights shall
include ten (10) percent for settlement. To protect against seepage,
when areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will need to
be excavated a minimum of one (1) foot below qrade and backfilled and
compacted with a suitable material (ie—CL.SC.CH). Refer to the soils
investigation information in the plans for special considerations.
Precautions should be taken durinq construction to prevent excessive
erosion and sedimentation.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
--------------------------------
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment with minimum odor
control. The time required for the planned fluid level to be
reached may vary due to soil conditions,flushinq operations, and
the amount of fresh water added to the system.
Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable
method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set,
center pivot, guns, and travelinq gun irrigation. Care should be
taken when applying waste to prevent runoff from the field or damaqe
to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre —
charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during
start—up. Pre —charging reduces the concentration of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be
covered with effluent at all times.
2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see Attachment 8)
before land application.
3. Begin pump —out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva—
tion 97.8 as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump --out when
the fluid level reaches elevation 95.8 or before fluid depth is
less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable
bacteria) .
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is
one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is O.4
inch per hour.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the
lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed
to maintain a vigorous stand..
6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
establish in vegetation.
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable
outlets.
8: The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of
pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ—
mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified
rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant
nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of
commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where waste
is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the
limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application
cycle. 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 infilitration
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 pre-
cautions, 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 the 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.
This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this
is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you
choose to inject the waste in the future, you need to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating waste are
not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage require-
ments 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.

- Indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. interplanted)
or winter annuals follow summer annuals.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded
in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing,
hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed
when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle
should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four
inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed
for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small
grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too
high and this will definitely interfere with the stand of
bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced
yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than
cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as
is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small
grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or
silage two to three times during the season, depending on
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late
September or early October. Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a
height of about two inches before drilling for best results.
* Acreage figures may exceed total acreage in fields due to
overseeding.
** lbs AW N (animal waste nitrogen) equals total required nitrogen
less any commercial nitrogen (COMM N) supplied.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than
the acres shown in the tables.
NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic
land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be
nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent
over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production
facility will produce approximately 3037.8 pounds of plant
available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the sludge that will need to be
removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting
the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well
special equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
PAGE 5
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
waste water.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of
the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs.
This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure,
soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application
amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the
soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen
applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage
and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every
6 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in
your structure be within 1.7 feet of the top of the dike.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure
that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical, specialist after you receive the waste analysis report
for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper
application rate prior to applying the waste.
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION:
Soils are heaver and wetter than a Wagram. It is of the opinion
that these soils will respond like a Goldsboro soil. Rye will
be baled in the spring to remove the nutrients.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 6
Plans and Specifications
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff,
drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge
during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which
reaches surface water is prohibited.. Illegal discharges are subject
to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division
of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Field office must have documentation in the design folder that
the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate
land to properly dispose of 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 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 20 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 MRCS Technical Reference - Environment file 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 orderto control conditions conducive to odor or flies
and to provide uniformity of application.
a. 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. �� 3�

� . r
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 7
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 a
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 right -of ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters,
drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying.
Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands
provided they have been approved as a land application site
by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be
applied on grassed waterways that discharge into water
courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the
application causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities,
showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into
the animal waste management system.
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures
must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate
storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to
one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be
established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments,
berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation
shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as
necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as
trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to
areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be
kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures
should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage
or discharge.
19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or
terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and imple-
menting 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,�heaks,
and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should`be•.kept
on site.

I still disagree We have chanced letter to sav the"region intends
to recommend to the Director that he revoke. How -is this different
than the letters we send that say the regions intend to recommend
enforcement action for thedirector to enact? Onlv_ he can assess the
civil Denalties: this seems to be the same issue? Since these are
draft letters right now. why don't we try this one out on this case?
I don't think we will actually have to revoke this hermit status in
this case.

level. it must be land aDDlied at a sneci.fied rate to nrpvpnt
pollution of surface and/or around water. The plant nutrients
in the animal waste should be used to redrar.e the amount of
commercial fertilizer required for' the crops on the fields
where the waste is to be aonl.ied. This waste utlli.zation nlan
uses nitroaen as the limitina nutrient. Waste should be
analyzed before each aDDl.ication cvr.l.e and annual, soil tests
are encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for
realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are imoortant in imolementina your waste
utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of
the waste and to ensure that it is aDDlied in an
environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the
needs of the crop to be arown and the nutrient content of the
waste. Do not aDDly more nitrogen than the r.ron can Utfl.17R.
Soil types are imoortant as they have different infiltration
rates and leachina potential. Waste shall. not he anol.i.ed to
land erodina at greater than 5 tons Der acre Der year. Do not
apply waste on saturated soils or on land when the surface is
frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to
surface waters. Wind conditions should also be considered to
avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value
of nutrients for crop orndrlction and to reduce the notenti.al
for pollution. the waste should be aDDlied to a arowina crap or
not more than 30 days prior to DIantina. Iniectina the waste

23. Are pollutants discharged in the waters of the State? _Y&L
If so, how? Runoff from oversaturated spray fields is flowing directly into wetlands area that
buffers Beaverdam Creek. Runoff was visually traced by observation at time of runoff by a
local resident.
24. Do or have discharges occurred in response to a storm event less severe than the 25-year,
hour storm? YES, It has been determined that discharges of waste have occured due to the lack
f attention to detail, On more than one occasion there have be en instances of over application
of waste 1Q the designated, r y fields. This over applicati_ n�r�sulted n massive pondina and
the eventual exiting of waste from the spry fields via numerous eroded channels.
25. What is the degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to public health,
or to private property resulting from the violation?: The discharge has caused the in rQduction
of nutrients into the wetlands area. that can cause or add to the possibility of algal blooms and
accelerated_eutrohication of the waters of the receiving stream, _ Also— samples taken indicate
elevated fecal coliform levels downstream of the facility
26. What is the duration and gravity of the violation?: Based on observations made rip the
investigation DEM staff observed discharge thal lasted at least over 124 hour Wriod. A video
f the suray am indicates he evidenfp qf large i i f waste water runoff, This f
violation exibits a lack of attention to detail in the proper application of waste. It also indicates
a lack in emphasis of the importance of mon torinthe.polication of waste in order to avoid

27. Water Quality Assessment: Based on the results of samples taken upstream and downstream
of the aro_gf interest, and other _inyestig to •on of the site and s_urrounding_area there is minimal
impact at this time to waters of the state. There was no evidence of degradation to plant and

animal life in Beaverdam Creek
or any signs of algae blooms, dissolved oxygen depletion or other problems that would effect
the standards established for acceptable water quality. However
continued violations of this sort can result in adverse effects on water quality.

29. What is the amount of money saved by noncompliance?: There was no'money saved by
noncompliance. Prestage Farms was in the process of preparing the land application site when
the violation occured. However all preparation of
land application sites should have been completed prior to any application of
waste. All efforts should have been made to achieve this end.
30. Was the violation committer) willfully or intentionally?:
YES _ NO X
Explain: There was no obvious intent to commit a violation on the part of
Prestage Farms. As stated earlier this is a case of failure of paying attention to detail.
31. What is the prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs
over which Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority? There have been

PX-18, I outlined a series of actions to be made on the farm by April 30, 1996. This
letter is intended to provide summary of our actions to date.
1. Areas have been cleared and prepared for the establishment of permanent
vegetation.
2. Disking and land smoothing of field areas have been completed.
3. All preparations have been made for the sprigging of coastal bermudagrass in
fields #1, #2, and #3. Field analysis has been completed and the contractor is
prepared to proceed with the sprigging. (Frequent rain has led to scheduling
conflicts for completion.)
4. An operator has remained on site during all irrigation events. This practice will

15. Are crops, pasture, or post harvest residues sustained in the normal growing season over any
portion of the lot or facility? Grass has been partially established
on the designated spray fields. However there are large areas of the spray field that are totally
void of vegatation. Additionally spray fields were not established in such a way to maximize
uptake of waste and there were numerous channels of erosion which indicated past runoff.
17. Type of Waste Management System:. Wasj, System is the standard flushing, systgm of
slotted float goer flushing RiAL Waste is flushed as needed from fir
or pits into waste lagoon prior to spray irrigations Lagoon water is recycled as flush water. On
an "As need" basis —the lagoon is spray irrigated- Qnto de-s: mated ray fields. The spray system
is a solid set system with stanary risers positioned throughout the spray fields.

23. Are pollutants discharged in the waters of the State? Yes
If so, how? Runoff from oversaturated spray fields is flowing directly into wetlands area that
buffers Beaverdam Creek. Runoff was visually traced by observation at time of runoff by a
local resident.
24. Do or have discharges occurred in response to a storm event less severe than the 25-year,
hour storm? YES. It has been determined that discharges of waste have Ng
ured due tQ the lack
of attention to detail, On more than one occasion there have been instances of over application
of waste to the designated spray fields. This over application resulted in massive_ n�ding and
the eventual exiting of waste from the spray fields via numerous eroded channels.

issue.
27. Water Quality Assessment: Based on 1-he—results of samples taken upstream and downstream
of the of interest —and other investiaatiQ-n--of the site and surrounding area there is minimal
impact at this time to waters of the state. There was no evidence of degradation to plant and
animal life in Beaverdam Creek
or any signs of algae blooms, dissolved oxygen depletion or other problems that would effect
the standards established for acceptable water quality. However
continued violations of this sort can result in adverse effects on water quality,
28. What is the cost of rectifying the damage?: The wnler—ob_served no areas that cleanup
activities would be recommended. A,n, ccllmup would gause adverse impagJ5 to nearby wetlands.
There has been no report of _impacts outside the area of the investigation,
29. What is the amount of money saved by noncompliance?: There was no record of money
saved by noncompliance. Prestage Farms was in the process of preparing the land application
site when the violation occured. However all preparation of
land application sites should have been completed prior to any application of

23. Are pollutants discharged in the waters of the State? YF5„
If so, how?
Runoff from oversaturated spray fields Is flowing directly into wetlands area that
buffers Seaverdam Creek. Runoff was visually traced by observation at time of
runoff by a local resident.
24. Do or have discharges occurred in response to a storm event less severe than the 25-
year, hour storm? YES
It has been determined that discharges of waste have occurred due to the lack of
attention to detail. On more than one occasion there have been Instances of over
application of waste to the designated spray fields. This over application resulted
In massive ponding and the eventual exiting of waste from the spray fields via
numerous eroded channels.
25. What is the degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to public
health, or to private property resulting from the violation?
The discharge has caused the introduction of nutrients into the wetlands area,
that can cause or add to the possibility of algal blooms and accelerated
eutrophication of the waters of the receiving stream. Also, samples taken
Indicate elevated fecal coliform levels downstream of the facility.

26. What Is the duration and gravity of the violation?
Based on observations made during the investigation, DEM staff observed
discharge that lasted at least over a 24 hour period. A video of the spray area
Indicates the evidence of large quantities of waste water runoff. This type of
violation exhibits a lack of attention to detail in the proper application of waste.
It also indicates a lack in emphasis of the importance of monitoring the
application of waste in order to avoid such an incident as this. Such violations
not only affect water quality but have implications that proceed beyond the realm
of water quality issues and can sway public perception negatively thereby adding
stress to an already sensitive issue.
27. Water Quality Assessment:
Based on the results of samples taken upstream and downstream of the area of
Interest, and other investigation of the site and surrounding area there is minimal
Impact at this time to waters of the state. There was no evidence of degradation
to ' plant and animal life In Beaverdam Creek, Class C SW, a tributary to South
River, or any signs of algae blooms, dissolved oxygen depletion or other problems
that would effect the standards established for acceptable water quality.
However, continued violations of this sort can result in adverse effects on water
quality.
28. What is the cost of rectifying the damage?
The writer observed no areas that cleanup activities would be recommended. Any
cleanup would cause adverse impacts to nearby wetlands. There has been no
report of downstream impacts outside the area of the investigation.
29. What is the amount of money saved by noncompliance?
There was no record of money saved by noncompliance. Prestage Farms, Inc.,
