The keys to proper disposal include analyzing the waste product and planning application rates based on agronomic requirements. The Waste Analysis Report provides information necessary to use these materials as a resource while protecting the environment. Sample Info This section contains sample identifiers, specifically the sample identification number, waste code, and description. These data are Heyto:Abb did supplied by the grower on the information sheet submitted with each sample. N Laboratory Results Wastes can be analyzed for up to 20 elements. Routine analysis includes most of the nutrients that are essential for plant growth— ALE- Ag{ -cultural Imae equivalent N, 1, k Ca, Mg, S, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, B and Na. Other elements may be analyzed if they are potentially harmful to soil or plants when allowed to increase to B n excessive levels. For example, when the waste is a by-product from a municipality or industry, the heavy metals Cd, Ni and Pb are routinely included in the C carbon . analysis. Upon request and if conditions warrant, certain waste types can also be tested for Al, Cl, Li and Mo. Results are reported in parts per million. If the Ca Calt �um �- C equtval ce sample is a compost or compost ingredient, values for pH, SS, and C:N are reported; pH values are also reported for all liquid animal waste samples. DM% .GGE% , i Cadmium, is reported for all dry waste samples. CCE% and ALE are reported for waste products that have neutralizing value. �, (.t1ltmde Recommendations This section can have three parts: (1) Nutrients Available for first crop based on application method; (2) Other Elements that may 3Llfl/O- Iv lQltJ •' Y impact application; and (3) agronomic comments indicating precautions that should be taken when using the waste. - 4��yµLLCi (1) Predictions of nutrients available for the first crop are based on estimates of mineralization rate and nutrient loss, depending on application method. gig PbtassLuu Estimates are reported in lbs/ton for solid wastes and lbs/1000 gallons for liquid wastes. "T" indicates that an element is present in a "trace" &ISO >= r quantity (c 0.005 lb per measured unit). E; Ft Li Within the fast month after waste application, 50 to 75% of the nutrient quantities listed will become available for the crop. Therefore, plan to apply ' wastes near the time that plants will require nutrients. The remaining nutrients gradually become available over the next three months. Vlit � M� Aise � Nutrients not available for the first crop are mineralized to available forms over time, usually years. Certain nutrients, such as Zn and Cu, may +� N• �Nitrogea accumulate in the soil in significant quantities. If waste is routinely applied, monitor nutrient accumulation with sail tests at least once every two Na , Som years. Some cropping systems and metal levels may necessitate annual soil samples as well. NH4 Anunoniu<ri-nmuge� ALE and CCE% are reported for wastes that may have neutralizing value. ALE indicates the amount of the waste product required to equal 1 ton of Nirliel good quality cultural lime (CCE%=90). If waste materials have significant neutralizing value, aPPIY them o�Yat rates neces Yto optimize H XN0 Nitrate.tjibrogen, �a for flexibility the information sheet allows two choices for application method Predictions of available nutrients are based on the type of waste and P '. Phphonls' the method of application. If you decide to change the application method after the analysis is complete, contact the Agronomic Division at (919) 733- Pz�5 b Lead 2655 for a revised recommendation. pPH Mtsiue of acidity ar alkalinity: '. (2) Quantities of other elements that may have an impact on the environment—Na, Ni, Cd, Pb, Al and Li— indicate the likelihood of harmful buildup in s ^ Siilfur „ the soil. Like nutrients, they are reported in lbs/tan for solid wastes and lbs/1000 gallons for liquid wastes. 55 _` Solulile salts (3) The recommendations section may include agronomic comments when warranted. These provide general information on the waste product and alert ?rp.u - the user when plant nutrients or heavy metals are high enough to warrant special precautions when applying the waste. for diagnostic samples, site- Zinc specific recommendations are provided based on information sheet data. The more thoroughly the problem and its unique conditions are described on the information sheet, the more pertinent and site specific the recommendations will be.

The facility registration number is 82-492. Currently, it houses 636 sows and 24 boars. Below is a plan of actions to reduce sowherd down to 230 sows and 10 boars: 1. On August 11, 1997 or so, we will cull 14 boars. 2. From July 7, 1997, we will not take any replacement gilts nor boars 3. From August 11, 1997, we will breed 11 sows per week for the next 20 weeks. 4. From August 11, 1997, we will cull 20-21 sows per week with sow Losses at about 2-3 sows per month. 5. By December 26, 1997, sowherd should have 230 sows and 10 boars. 6. On June 1, 1998 or so, we will have all 10 boars removed. 7. On June 1, 1998 or so, we will stop breeding. 8. By October 19, 1998 or so, this operation will come to a close. In the mean time, I will contact the local NRCS office for information on lagoon closure and cost sharing.

Box 759 Rosehill, North Carolina 28458 SUBJECT: Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation Designation Autryville Hog Facility Mr. Somboon, Manager Autryville, NC, Sampson County Dear Mr. Stocker: This letter is to notify you that your hog farm.was investigated on June 28, 1985 by members of the staff of the Fayetteville Regional Office and determined to be a concentrated animal feeding operation. This being the case, you should submit applications for an NPDES Discharge Permit in accordance with Title 15, N.C. Administrative Code 2H.0223 and adopted Federal Regulations 40 CFR "Appendix B to Part 122 - Criteria for Determining a Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (122.54)." This designation was made based on the following consideration: There was a discharge of animal waste from one of the existing two stage stabilization lagoon systems by a manmade conveyance into a highway drainage ditch which eventually flows into Big Swamp, Class C Swamp, Cape Fear River Basin. If you can permanently eliminate the discharge of wastewater to the surface waters within sixty (60) days from receipt of this notice to submit permit applications, a permit application will not be required. If modifications are necessary to permanently eliminate the discharge of wastewater to the surface waters of the State and they cannot, or are not completed within sixty (60) days of receipt of this notice, a Permit application must be submitted. For your information, the following items are enclosed: 1. Code of Federal Regulations - Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations P.O.

J. Noland, Regional Supervisor Fayetteville Regional Office SUBJECT: Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations) Autryville Area Hog Farms Autryville, North Carolina Sampson County During the week of June 25, 1985, the Fayetteville Regional Office was conducting an investigation in response to a report by Mr. Bobby Buff, Wildlife Fisheries Biologist of a fish kill at the 611 1256 bridge over Big Swamp, "C Swamp", Cape Friar River basin, in the Autryville Couvaunity of Sampson County. Our investigation revealed that the fish kill resulted from low oxygen levels in Big Swamp from dry conditions and low stream flows along with the presence of animal waste discharges from localhbog operations (see attached report). There were four (4) hog operations found to have discharges through man-made conveyances from waste handling lagoons. Three (3) of the farms were farrowing -feeder pig operations and one (1) was a farrow to finish operation. The following describes the subject discharging hog operations. (1) This facility was operated by Jackie Sessoms, had no discharge and less than 1,000 animal units. (2) N & C Hogs, Inc., Joel Faircloth, Owner/Contractor for Murphy Farms, Inc., Rosehill, North Carolina. This farm is a farrowing -feeder pig operation which consists of approximately 2,UOU to 2,500 swine less than 55 lbsp and approxd¢nately 750 sows and 200 boars (380 animal units). There are three (3) hog containment buildings housing the farrowing operation, pig nursery and gestation areas. All houses discharge Into a single stage lagoou system (approximately ly -.2 acres in size) which overflows through a duce siphon pipe overland and eventually into Big Swamp. 4 , -v Memo to Page Beaton Page 2 July 26p 1985 (3) Leroy Autry Hog Farm, Leroy Autry, Owner. This farm is a farrow to Finish hog operation which coca ses of ' .';, ?; •-p approximately 300 sows, 170 boars, 4000--5000 swina' greater 'than 55 lbs. and 3000 - 3500 swine less than 55 lbs. (2068 animal units). There are eight (8) hog containment buildings housing the farrowing; operation, pig nursery, gestation areas, and finishing areae. The wastewater from these buildings is handled by four (3) single stage lagoon systems. The smallest lagoon (.25 acres) had dike failure and wastewater flowed overland approximately 100 yards Into an adjacent manmade drainage canal to Big Swamp. A sample of the discharge was taken at the lagoon and in the drainage canal and the following analysis was revealed: Location B2D5 At lagoon 200 mg/l In Drainage Canal Downstream from lagoon 180 mg/l Fecal Coliform 1,400,000/100 Ml (4) Elmer Faircloth flog Farm, Owner/Contractor for Carrolls of Warsaw, Warsaw, North Carolina. This farts is a farrowing -feeder pig operation which consists of 2400-3000 swine less than 55 lbs. and approximately 600 soars and 150 boars (300 animal units). There are three (3) hog containment buildings housing the farrowing operation, pie nursery and gesta- tion areas. All houses discharge into a two (2) stage lagoon System (total size approximately 1 acre). Both stages overflow due to lack of maintaining the proper freeboard level and dis- charge via an adjacent manmade drainage canal to Big Swamp (Class C-Swp). (5) Murphy Farms, Inc., Mr. Somboon/operator. This farm is a farrowing -feeder pig operation which consists of 2000-2206 swine less than 55 lbs and approximately 600 sows and - 150 boars (300 animal units). There are seven (7) hog contain - ;V'. sent buildings housing the farrowing operation, pig nursary, and gestation areas. At this facility thare are two (2) separate two 42) stage lagoon systems. Each system handles the waste from 3h buildings. Both lagoon systems consist of 3 ponds;vith two (2) primary and one (1) secondary lagoon, each.8pprokiliistely 1/2 acre in size for a total lagoon treatment of three (3) 'acres for the entire operation. The lagoon eystem(s) were overflowing due to a lack of naintainiag the proper freeboard which allows the lagoons to discharge and eventually reach BIg Swamp. Nemo to Page Benton Page 3 July 26, 1985 During the course of the inspection. determinations were made in accordance with ReCe Administrative Code 2H.0123(a)(3) for a Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation an described in 0 CFR Appendix B to Parts 122 Criteria for Determining a Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (122.54) which covers facilities with 300 ,to 1000 .nimal units. The previously discussed hog operations all have greater than 30U animal units. A. It was determined that a pollutant discharge(s) does occur to the surface waters of the state through manmade conveyances which are directed to the surface waters from the four (4) above mentioned hog operations. D. The discharges do occur to the state's surface waters (Big Swamp, "C --Swamp, Cape Fear River Basin) through manmade. conveyances at the subject hog farms. The discharges do occur as the result of improper waste management practices and are not the result of a 25 year. 24 hour rainfall event.
