Dear Mr. Lang:
The Animal Feeding Operation Branch of the Division of Water Resources has completed a preliminary
review of your renewal permit application package. Additional information is required before we may
continue.our review. Please address the following items within 15 (Fifteen) days of receipt of this letter:
The number and type of animals specified in your current permit and permit renewal application
form (7000 Wean to Feeder swine) are different than those specified in your latest Waste Utilization
Plan (6600 Feeder to Finish Swine). To correct this discrepancy, there are two options available to you.
You may choose to reduce your permitted animal numbers to the level of your waste utilization plan by filing
new application form together with Animal Waste Management Plan Certification form, or you may submit
new WUP designed for 7000 Wean to Feeder swine. Please be advised that the swine operation may not
exceed their permitted steady state live weight (SSLW) without meeting the performance standards specified
in Senate Bill 1465. A copy of this bill can be found at:
httn:l/www.ncleg.net/Sessions/2007/Bills/Senate/HTM L/S 1465v7.htmi

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface
and/or .ground water. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of
commerical fertilizer required for the crops on 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 and annual
soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crops 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 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, 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 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. Actual acreage requirements may be more or less and should be based on the waste analysis report
from your waste management facility. You will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation,
and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis in your Certified Operators manual.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance-with-15A NCAC 2H.0217
adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

WASTE DISPOSAL 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.
2. 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 shall be applied on land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at more than 5 tons but less
than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff
leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips)
5. Odors can be reduced be injecting the waste or disking after waste application.
Waste should not be applied when there is 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 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.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate
such 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 if
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 depth that would prohibit growth. The
potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered.
WASTE DISPOSAL SPECIFICATIONS
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on
WUP - 5

Wu"
soils with 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 or forages breaking dormancy.
1 1 . 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. 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 a discharge or by overspraying. 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 applied on grassed waterways shall be at
agronomic rates provided 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. 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.
18. 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.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a
regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance
checklist should be kept on site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other
crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for
direct human consumption it should only be applied preplant with no further
applications of animal waste during the crop season.

21. Highly visible permanent markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom
elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment
lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the
markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste
storage ponds.
22. Soil tests shall be made every two years and a liquid waste analysis be taken at
least twice each year consistent with waste utilization plan. Poultry litter shall be
tested prior to application. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept. for five
years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC regulations.
Your facility is designed for _180_ days of temporary storage and
should have the temporary storage removed on the average every _5_
months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in
your structure exceed Elevation 48.8
Call the Natural Resources Conservation Service or Soil and Water
Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis
report to obtain assistance in determining the amount per acre to
apply and the application rate prior to applying the waste.
NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) 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 facility will produce
about 686 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year
in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every five years,
you will have approximately 2660 pounds of PAN to utilize.
if you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of
N per acre, you will need 26.6 acres of land (21.3 wetted
acres). Please be aware these figures are estimates of the
PAN and land needed. Actual requirements will depend on your
sludge waste analysis, soil tests, realictic yields, and
application methods.
Narrative of Operation:
This Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) shows application of wastes on four
crops as shown in Table 1 (Acres shown in Table 1 represent wetted
acres).This was done to provide flexibility for the producer to manage
the waste and have a crop rotation. The cotton and corn rotations
include a winter cover of wheat to allow a fall application. The wheat
will not be harvested and the pounds of N per acre have been reduced.
The wheat/soybean rotation is a double crop with the wheat being
harvested. The soybean RYE has been reduced to allow for application
on the wheat. Any crop rotation following the soybeans will have the
pounds of N per acre reduced by 20 pounds to account for the N residue
from the soybeans. A peanut allotment on this farm allows 15 acres for
peanut production. If the 15 acres for peanuts is factored out, enough
ffalrl

-•NF}1
wettable acres remain (31.6) to utilize the wastes in the corn -and
wheat/soybean rotations. The cotton rotation will work except when it
follows soybeans. The residue from the soybeans will not allow enough
uptake of N for the facility. This facility produces 3360 lbs of N per
year and a traveling gun irrigation system is used to apply the
wastes. Combinations of crops can be utilized, but a winter cover of
wheat is necessary for the cotton. For corn, winter wheat is optional
but provides the opportunity for fall applications. If used alone, the
minimum acreage needed for cotton - wheat is 39 acs.(29.2 acs wetted),
for corn - wheat is 27 acs.(20 acs.wetted), for corn alone is 39
acs.(29.3 acs.wetted), for soybeans alone is 28 acs.(21 acs.wetted),
for soybeans double cropped with wheat is 20 acs.(14.9 acs.wetted).
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEMENT
I (We) understand, will implement and follow the specifications and
the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved
animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above. I (We) know
that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste
treatment and/or storage system or construction of new facilities will
require a new utilization plan and a new certification to be submitted
to DEM before the new animals are stocked. I (We) also understand
that there must be no discharge of animal waste from this system to
surface waters of the state for any reason except storm events as
severe as the 25-year, 24-hour storm or greater. The DEM regulations
require a copy of the approved plan be filed on -site at the farm
office and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation
District and will be available for review by DEM upon request.
Failure to comply with the waste utilization plan will automatically
require any cost share funds to be refunded to their source.

Where owners of animal operations do not have adequate amounts of land
to apply the waste, the producer must provide a written agreement
whereby another landowner has agreed to land apply or allow land
application on his or her land. The attached agreement may be used or
some other documentation may be provided.
ADJACENT LANDOWNER AGREEMENT
I, , understand that Mr./Mrs.
does not have ample land to apply the animal waste produced from
his/her animal operation. I agree and give permission for Mr./Mrs.
to apply animal waste from his Waste System on
acres of my land for the duration of time shown below.
I further understand that this waste contains nitrogen, phosphorous,
potassium, and other nutrient elements and when properly applied
should not harm my land or crops. I also understand that the use of
this waste will reduce my need for commercial fertilizer.

The purpose of this plan is to provide guidelines for carrying out
the routine operation and maintenance work needed to keep this swine
waste management system functioning as planned. Routine maintenance
is considered to be normal good care of the system. Good
maintenance adds to beauty, usefulness, and permanence.
A. Maintenance
The routine maintenance of the lagoon involves the following:
I. Maintenance of a vegetative cover on the embankment top and
side slopes: is
being established on these areas. Beginning in 1g and
each year thereafter, the embankment should be fertilized
with Boo pounds of 10-10-10 per acre to maintain a vigorous
stand.
2. Control of brush and trees on the embankment. This may be
done by mowing, spraying, or chopping, or a combination of
all three. This will need to be done at least once each
year and possibly twice in years favorable to heavy growth
of vegetation.
Maintenance inspections of the lagoon should be made during the
initial filling of the lagoon and at least annually. Items to
be checked should include, as a minimum, the following:
1.. Waste Inlet Pipes, Overflow Pipes
a. condition of pipes
(1) separation of joints
(2) cracks or breaks
2. Pool Area
a. undesirable vegetative growth
b. floating or lodged debris
3. Embankment
a. settlement, cracking or "jug" holes
b. side slope stability - slumps or bulges
C. erosion and rodent damage
4. Transfer Pump
1

B. Operation,
Your animal wa� t na ent facility was designed for a total
of 7000 w""'��(,—.L2 AF, to ,Sa 14f j . The lagoon
contains both permanent and temporary storage. The permanent
storage is not to be um ed in order to ensure that anaerobic
action wil occur. The design .includes permanent s orage of one
cubic foot per pound of steady state live weight.
The temporary storage portion of the lagoon includes capacity
for the volume of waste produced over 180 days, the amount of
rainfall in a 25 year 24 hour storm event, and rainfall in
excess of evaporation. Your facility is designed for 180 days
of temporary storage; therefore, it will need to be pumped
every six months. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level
reaches elevation //8.$o as marked by permanent markers. Stop
pump --out when the f 11 iud level reaches elevation fe6. o o .
The attached waste management plan Should be followed. This
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see Attachment B)
before land application. The waste material should be analyzed
before each application cycle to determine its nutrient content.
A soil test of the area of application should be made annually
to insure the waste is applied as reasonably and practically
possible to recommended rates.
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.
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
Environmental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing
this law.

Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Gates County
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 Swine Waste Operation General
Permit AWG100000. 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 February 14, 2003 and in accordance with the directive
of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to George
Lang, Jr., authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The issuance of this COC
supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS370003 which expired on April 30, 2003.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not Iimited to, the management
of animal waste from the George Lang Farm, located in Gates County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than an annual average of 7000 Wean to Feeder swine and the application to land as specified in
the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or
Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary,
they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a
rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
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 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.
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.

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface
and/or ground water. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of
commerical fertilizer required for the crops on 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 and annual
soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crops 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 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, 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 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. Actual acreage requirements may be more or less and should be based on the waste analysis report
from your waste management facility. You will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation,
and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis in your Certified Operators manual.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217
adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

WASTE DISPOSAL 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.
2. 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 shall be applied on land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at more than 5 tons but less
than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff
leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips)
5. Odors can be reduced be injecting the waste or disking after waste application.
Waste should not be applied when there is 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 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.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate
such 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 if
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 depth that would prohibit growth. The
potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered.
WASTE DISPOSAL SPECIFICATIONS
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on
WUP - 5

srvn
soils with 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 or forages breaking dormancy.
1 1 . 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. 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 a discharge or by overspraying. 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 applied on grassed waterways shall be at
agronomic rates provided 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. 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.
18. 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.
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.
WUP - 6

21. Highly visible permanent markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom
elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment
lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the
markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste
storage ponds.
22. Soil tests shall be made every two years and a liquid waste analysis be taken at
least twice each year consistent with waste utilization plan. Poultry litter shall be
tested prior to application. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five'
years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC regulations.
Your facility is designed for _180_ days of temporary storage and
should have the temporary storage removed on the average every _6_
months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in
your structure exceed Elevation 48.8
Call the Natural Resources Conservation Service or Soil and Water
Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis
report to obtain assistance in determining the amount per acre to
apply and the application rate prior to applying the waste.
NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) 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 facility will produce
about 686 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year
in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every five years,
you will have approximately 2660 pounds of PAN to utilize.
if you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of
N per acre, you will need 26.6 acres of land (2I.3 wetted
acres). Please be aware these figures are estimates of the
PAN and land needed. Actual requirements will depend on your
sludge waste analysis, soil tests, realistic yields, and
application methods.
Narrative of Operation:
This Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) shows application of wastes on four
crops as shown in Table 1 (Acres shown in Table 1 represent wetted
acres).This was done to provide flexibility for the producer to manage
the waste and have a crop rotation. The cotton and corn rotations
include a winter cover of wheat to allow a fall application. The wheat
will not be harvested and the pounds of N per acre have been reduced.
The wheat/soybean rotation is a double crop with the wheat being
harvested. The soybean RYE has been reduced to allow for application
on the wheat. Any crop rotation following the soybeans will have the
pounds of N per acre reduced by 20 pounds to account for the N residue
from the soybeans. A peanut allotment on this farm allows 15 acres for
peanut production. If the 15 acres for peanuts is factored out, enough
WUP - 7

wettable acres remain (31.6) to utilize the wastes in the corn and
wheat/soybean rotations. The cotton rotation will work except when it
follows soybeans. The residue from the soybeans will not allow enough
uptake of N for the facility. This facility produces 3360 lbs of N per
year and a traveling gun irrigation system is used to apply the
wastes. Combinations of crops can be utilized, but a winter cover of
wheat is necessary for the cotton. For corn, winter wheat is optional
but provides the opportunity for fall applications. If used alone, the
minimum acreage needed for cotton - wheat is 39 acs.(29.2 acs wetted),
for corn - wheat is 27 acs.(20 acs.wetted), for corn alone is 39
acs.(29.3 acs.wetted), for soybeans alone is 28 acs.(21 acs.wetted),
for soybeans double cropped with wheat is 20 acs.(14.9 acs.wetted).
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEMENT
I (We) understand, will implement and follow the specifications and
the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved
animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above. I (We) know
that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste
treatment and/or storage system or construction of new facilities will
require a new utilization plan and a new certification to be submitted
to DEM before the new animals are stocked. I (We) also understand
that there must be no discharge of animal waste from this system to
surface waters of the state for any reason except storm events as
severe as the 25-year, 24-hour storm or greater. The DEM regulations
require a copy of the approved plan be filed on -site at the farm
office and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation
District and will be available for review by DEM upon request.
Failure to comply with the waste utilization plan will automatically
require any cost share funds to be refunded to their source.

George Lang Farm
Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Gates 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 February 14, 2003 and in accordance with the directive
of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to George
Lang, Jr., authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The issuance of this COC
supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS370003 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 George Lang Farm, located in Gates County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than an annual average of 7000 Wean to Feeder swine and the application to land as specified in
the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or
Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary,
they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a
rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
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.
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.
Per 15A NCAC 2H .0225(c) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100 foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any wetted area of a
spray field.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief.
If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after the expiration date of the
General Permit, an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration.
This COC is not automatically transferable. A name/ownership change application must be submitted to
the Division prior to a name change or change in ownership.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to
apply for an individual permit by contacting the staff member listed below for information on this
process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding.

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or ground water.
The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the
amount of commercial fertilizer'required for the crops on 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 and annual soil tests are strongly encouraged
so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of
the crops 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. Alwsys
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, wart(§ may be applied to land eroding at up
to 10 tons per 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 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 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 offacility. Actual acreage
requirements may be more or less and should be based on the waste
analysis report from your waste management facility. You will find
information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer
of waste samples to the lab for analysis.in your Certified Operators
manual.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission.

WASTE DISPOSAL 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.
2. 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 shall be applied on land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at more than 5 tons but less
than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff
leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips)
5. Odors can be reduced be injecting the waste or disking after waste application.
Waste should not be applied when there is 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 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.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate
such 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 if
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 depth that would prohibit growth. The
potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered.
WASTE DISPOSAL SPECIFICATIONS
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on
WUP - 5

5/Wft
soils with 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 or forages breaking dormancy.
1 1. 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. 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 a discharge or by overspraying. 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 applied on grassed waterways shall be at .
agronomic rates provided 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. 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.
18. 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.
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.

SM"
21. Highly visible permanent markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom
elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment
lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the
markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste
storage ponds.
22. Soil tests shall be made every two years and a liquid waste analysis be taken at
least twice each year consistent with waste utilization plan. Poultry litter shall be
tested prior to application. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five
years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC regulations.
Your facility is designed for _180_ days of temporary storage and
should have the temporary storage removed on the average every _6_
months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in
your structure exceed Elevation 48.8
Call the Natural Resources Conservation Service or Soil and Water
Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis
report to obtain assistance in determining the amount per acre to
apply and the application rate prior to applying the waste.
NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) 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 facility will produce
about 686 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year
in the sludge. if you remove the sludge every five years,
you will have approximately 2660 pounds of PAN to utilize.
If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of
N per acre, you will need 26.6 acres of land (21.3 wetted
acres). Please be aware these figures are estimates of the
PAN and land needed. Actual requirements will depend on your
sludge waste analysis, soil tests, realictic yields, and
application methods.
Narrative of Operation:
This Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) shows application of wastes on four
crops as shown'in Table 1 (Acres shown in Table 1 represent wetted
acres).This was done to provide flexibility for the producer to manage
the waste and have a crop rotation. The cotton and corn rotations
include a winter cover of wheat to allow a fall application. The wheat
will not be harvested and the pounds of N per acre have been reduced.
The wheat/soybean rotation is a double crop with the wheat being
harvested. The soybean RYE has been reduced to allow for application
on the wheat. Any crop rotation following the soybeans will have the
pounds of N per acre reduced by 20 pounds to account for the N residue
from the soybeans. A peanut allotment on this farm allows 15 acres for
peanut production. If the 15 acres for peanuts is factored out, enough
WUP - 7

avn
wettable acres remain (31.6) to utilize the wastes in the corn and
wheat/soybean rotations. The cotton rotation will work except when it
follows soybeans. The residue from the soybeans will not allow enough
uptake of N for the facility. This facility produces 3360 lbs of N per
year and a traveling gun irrigation system is used to apply the
wastes. Combinations of crops can be utilized, but a winter cover of
wheat is necessary for the cotton. For corn, winter wheat is optional
but provides the opportunity for fall applications. If used alone, the
minimum acreage needed for cotton - wheat is 39 acs.(29.2 acs wetted),
for corn - wheat is 27 acs.(20 acs.wetted), for corn alone is 39
acs.(29.3 acs.wetted), for soybeans alone is 28 acs.(21 acs.wetted),
for soybeans double cropped with wheat is 20 acs.(14.9 acs.wetted).
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEMENT
I (We) understand, will implement and follow the specifications and
the operation and maintenance procedures established in'the approved
animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above. I (We) know
that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste
treatment and/or storage system or construction of new facilities will
require a new utilization plan and a new certification to be submitted
to DEM before the new animals are stocked. I (We) also understand
that there must be no discharge of animal waste from this system to
surface waters of the state for any reason except storm events as
severe as the 25-year, 24-hour storm or greater. The DEM regulations
require a copy of the approved plan be filed on -site at the farm
office and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation
District and will.be available for review by DEM upon request.
Failure to comply with the waste utilization plan will automatically
require any cost share funds to be refunded to their source.

rge The purpose of this plan is to provide guidelines for carrying ou8�rtn�
the routine operation and maintenance work needed to keep this swine
waste management system functioning as planned. Routine maintenance
is considered to be normal good care of the system. Good
maintenance adds to beauty, usefulness, and permanence.
A. Maintenance
The routine maintenance of the lagoon involves the following:
1. Maintenance of a vegetative cover on the embankment top and
side slopes: is
being established on these areas. Beginning in 19 and
each year thereafter, the embankment should be fertilized
with Boo pounds of 10-10-10 per acre to maintain a vigorous
stand.
2. Control of brush and trees' on the embankment. This may be
done by mowing, spraying, or chopping, or a combination of
all three. This will need to be done at least once each
year and possibly twice in years favorable to heavy growth
of vegetation.
Maintenance inspections of the lagoon should be made during the
initial filling of the lagoon and at least annually. Items to
be checked should include, as a minimum, the following:
1. waste inlet Pipes, Overflow Pipes
a. condition of pipes
(1) separation of joints
(2) cracks or breaks
2. Pool Area
a. undesirable vegetative growth
b. floating or lodged debris
3. Embankment
a. settlement, cracking or "jug" holes
b. side slope stability - slumps or bulges
C. erosion and rodent damage
4. Transfer Pump

B. Operation
Your animal waist na e t facility was desi ned for a total
of 7000 ' y ( /2 1k, to 5'a / r ) . The lagoon
contains both permanent and temporary storage. The permanent
storage is not to be pumped in order to ensure that anaerobic .
action wil occur. The design includes permanent s orage of one
cubic foot per pound of steady state live weight.
The temporary storage portion of the lagoon includes capacity
for the volume of waste produced over 180 days, the amount of
rainfall in a 25 year 24 hour storm event, and rainfall in
excess of evaporation. Your facility is designed for 180 days
of temporary storage; therefore, it will need to be pumped
every six months. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level
reaches elevation 6z8.$O as marked by permanent markers. Stop
pump -out when the fluid level reaches elevation 4e6-00 .
The attached waste management plan should be followed. This
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see Attachment B)
before land application. The waste material should be analyzed
before each application cycle to determine its nutrient content.
A soil test of the area of application should be made annually
to insure the waste is applied as reasonably and practically
possible to recommended rates.
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.
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
Environmental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing
this law.

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,flushing 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 traveling gun irrigation. Care should be
taken when applying waste to prevent runoff from the field or --damage
to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. The primary lagoon will 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 B)
before land application.
3. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva-
tion 103.4 in the primary lagoon as marked by permanent
markers. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches elevation
100.4 in the primary lagoon.
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is
one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3
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.
S. 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.

Clearing: All brush shall be removed from the impoundment area
before construction is started. The foundation of the lagoon shall
be cleared of all stumps, roots, brush, sod, organic soil, and
debris. All stumps and all roots exceeding 1 inch in diameter shall
be removed to a minimum depth of 1 foot. Satisfactory disposition
will be made of all debris. After clearing is completed the
foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly and roughly leveled,
with suitable equipment, before placement of any embankment
material.
Cutoff Trench: A cutoff trench shall be excavated to a minimum
depth of 6 inches under the embankment. The exact depth shall be
determined on site by SCS. The trench side slopes shall be 1:1 or
flatter and the width will be a minimum of 6 feet, but will depend
on the equipment being used. The cutoff trench shall be backfilled
with CL or CH material. fffld Piihch-shall'be'backfilled in 9"inch
layers'and compacted with a sheepsfoot roller with a minimum of 4
passes per unit width of fill lift. All standing water shall be
removed from the trench before backfilling is started.
Existing Tile Drains: If any tile drains are encountered, the tile
will be dug up and removed. The tile trench shall be backfilled
with a compacted layer of CL or CH material.
Excavation: Topsoil shall be stocked piled separately for later
use+. The bottom of the lagoon shall be excavated as shown on the
plans. where pervious material (SP, quartz veins, etc.) is exposed
during excavation, it shall be undercut and backfilled with a
compacted layer of highly plastic (CL, CH) material approximately
%• 8«f erne —feet in thickness. Scarify and compact the bottom and, where
practicable, the side slopes of the lagoon to decrease the
permeability of the soil in the lagoon.
Embankment Construction: The material placed in the embankment
shall be free of sod, roots, stones over six (6) inches in diameter,
and other objectionable materials. CL, CH, and CL/CH materials
shall be used in the embankment. Pervious material shall not be
used in the embankment. f' ction.of',the embankment shall"be
made"in layers not to exceed 9 inches.in- thickness andk"compacted
with a sheepsfoot rollet"rwith-a-minimum of 4 passes per unit width
dt"rf111 'li'ft'. At any time the embankment surface becomes
"slickened" such that the succeeding layer will not bond to the
previous layer, scarify the previous layer sufficiently to assure
bonding of the surfaces before continuing with the fill operation.
Construction of the fill shall be undertaken only at such times that
the moisture content of the fill material will permit a reasonable
degree of compaction. Construction height of the embankment shall
allow an additional 10% for settlement. Stock piled topsoil shall
be spread over top of embankment and outside side slopes for the
establishment of vegetation.
J�

Pollution control During Construction: Stripping of embankment and
borrow areas shall be done as they are needed in a normal sequence
of construction. Use temporary mulch protection on all disturbed
areas that are subject to erosion and will not have substantial
additional work performed for 30 days.
Vegetation: Vegetation shall be established on the slopes,
embankment top and all other disturbed areas, except the area that
will be inundated, as specified in the plans as soon as possible
after construction. Necessary steps shall be taken to ensure thlt a
good stand of vegetation is established in a reasonable amount of.
time.
Seeding rates are: 50 lb. Tall Fescue
12 lb. Common Bermuda grass
loon lb. 10-10-10
2 tons lime
2 tons wheat straw
Permanent Stake: A permanent stake (CCA salt treated 41lx4" post or
], inch diameter PVC pipe with tee) marked to .indicate pumping
level elevations, shall be placed in the inside slope at one end of
the lagoon.
Construction Notes:
Both contractor and owner should be aware that soil conditions at this site
could present problems due to a lack of suitable clay. Clay from another
borrow area is likely to be needed. Fill material for the House pads could
also be needed from a borrow area.
1 have been made aware that the lagoon will just barely exceed the SCS 750'
minimum distance from lagoon to nearest non -controlled residence and that
due to the soils and landscape that off site material may be needed. It
is the responsibility of the owner to insure that adequate compaction of
the building pads is accomplished. The entire interior of the lagoon will
need to be lined and compacted with a 1.3F f t. thick layer of suitable clay.

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or ground water.
The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the
amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops on the fields
where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization pl.an uses
nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before
each application cycle and annual soil tests are strongly encouraged
so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of
the crops 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 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 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 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. Actual acreage
requirements may be more or less and should be based on the waste
analysis report from your waste management facility. You will find
information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer
of waste samples to the lab for analysis. in- your Certified Operators
manual.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission.

WANE DISPOSAL 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.
2. 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 shall be applied on land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at more than 5 tons but less
than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff
leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips)
5. Odors can be reduced be injecting the waste or disking after waste application.
Waste should not be applied when there is 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 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.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate
such runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does
not cause drift from the site durinb 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 if
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 depth that would prohibit growth. The
potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered.
WASTE DISPOSAL SPECIFICATIONS
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fail or winter for spring planted crops on
WUP - 5

uvrt
soils with 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 or forages breaking dormancy.
1 1. 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. 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, drainagewa.ys or
wetlands by a discharge or by overspraying. 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 applied on grassed waterways shall be at
agronomic rates provided 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. 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.
18. 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.
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.
WUP - 6

WNW
21. Highly visible permanent markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom
elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment
lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the
markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste
storage ponds.
22. Soil tests shall be made every two years and a liquid waste analysis be taken at
least twice each year consistent with waste utilization plan. Poultry litter shall be
tested prior to application. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five
years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC regulations.
Your facility is designed for _180_ days of temporary storage and
should have the temporary storage removed on the average every _6_
months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in
your structure exceed Elevation 48.8 ,
Call the Natural Resources Conservation Service or Soil and Water
Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis
report to obtain assistance in determining the amount per acre to
apply and the application rate prior to applying ---the waste.
NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) 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. facility will produce
about 686 pounds of plant available nitrogen (P-AN) per year
in the sludge. if you remove the sludge every five years,
you will have approximately 2660 pounds of PAN to utilize.
If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 225 pounds of
N per acre, you will need 26.6 acres of land (21.3 wetted
acres). Please be aware these figures are estimates of the
PAN and land needed. Actual requirements will depend on your
sludge waste analysis, soil tests, realictic yields, and
application methods.
Narrative of Operation:
This waste Utilization Plan (WUP) shows application of wastes on four
crops as shown in Table 1 (Acres shown in Table 1 represent wetted
acres).This was done to provide flexibility for the producer to manage
the waste and have a crop rotation. The cotton and corn rotations
include a winter cover of wheat to allow a fall application. The wheat
will not be harvested and the pounds of N per acre have been reduced.
The wheat/soybean rotation is a double crop with the wheat being
harvested. The soybean RYE has been reduced to allow for application
on the wheat. Any crop rotation following the soybeans will have the
pounds of N per acre reduced by 20 pounds to account for -the N residue
from the soybeans. A peanut allotment on this farm allows 15 acres for
peanut production. If the 15 acres for peanuts is factored out, enough
WUP - 7

yvn
wettable acres remain (31.6) to utilize the wastes in the corn and
' wheat/soybean rotations. The cotton rotation will work except when it
follows soybeans. The residue from the soybeans will not allow enough
F uptake of N for the facility. This facility produces 3360 lbs of N per
year and a traveling gun irrigation system is used to apply the
wastes. Combinations of crops can be utilized, but a winter cover of
wheat is necessary for the cotton. For corn, winter wheat is optional
but provides the opportunity for fall applications. If used alone, the
minimum acreage needed for cotton - wheat is 39 acs.(29.2 acs wetted),
for corn _ wheat is.27 acs.(20 acs.wetted), for corn alone is 39
acs.(29.3 acs.wetted), for soybeans alone is 28 acs.(21 acs.wetted),
for soybeans double cropped with wheat is 20 acs.(14.9 acs.wetted).
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEMENT
I (we) understand, will implement and follow the specifications and
the operation and maintenance proc'edures.established in the approved
animal waste utilization nlan'for the farm named above. I (We) know
that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste
treatment and/or storage system or construction of new facilities will
require a new utilization plan and a new certification to be submitted
to DEM before the new animals are stocked. I (We) also understand
that there must be no discharge of animal waste from this system to
surface waters of the state for any reason except storm events as
severe as the 25-year, 24-hour storm or greater. The DEM regulations
require a copy of the approved plan be filed on -site at the farm
office and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation
District and will be available for review by DEM upon request.
Failure to comply with the waste utilization plan will automatically
require any cost share funds to be refunded to their source.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 37-3
Gates County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
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, SLUR1, 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.
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.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the

Subject: Site Visits to Dillard residence and Lang Farm, Gates County, North
Carolina
On December 29, 1998, Carl Dunn, Brian Joyner, and I visited the home of Joan
Dillard (Route 1, Box 90, Gatesville, NC 27839) and the George Lang Farm (Route 1,
Box 91, Gatesville, NC 27839). Carl Dunn is with the North Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality (NCDENR DWQ) and
Bryan Joyner is with the Division of Air Quality (DAQ). Ms. Dillard is concerned about
health effects associated with spray application of wastewater from the Lang Farm on
land adjacent her house.
Ms. Dillard has been diagnosed with allergic laryngitis that she associates with
spraying of waste from the Lang Farm. She has been seen by her local doctor and an
Otolaryngologist ( R. B. Gelot, M. D. Ahoskie NC). She is unable to afford expensive
medical tests. She says that there are three types of odors from the farm which she
can differentiate: hog odor, chicken odor, and a chemical odor. She associates the
chemical odor with episodes of laryngitis (loss of voice). She said the severity of her
symptoms has increased each time she was exposed. Her worst episode of laryngitis
occurred in around March 1998, when she lost her voice for six weeks. She was seen
by the doctors in May 1998. She could not remember the last time she smelled the
chemical odor. Ms. Dillard says the hog and chicken odors are a nuisance, but her
main concern is laryngitis and loss of her voice.
Her family members (husband, children and grandchildren) also report they can
differentiate three distinct odors from the Lang Farm. They say that the chemical odor
causes their eyes, nose, and throat to burn. The family is also concerned about the
nuisance created by the agricultural odors.

Memorandum: Dillard Residence and Lang Farm
Page Two
January 15, 1999
The Dillard residence and Lang Farm are in Gates County on Highway 158, near
State Road 1400 and State Road 1403. The following properties are also nearby:
Gates County Middle School, Gates County High School, Gates County Correctional
Center, and a Community Center. Merchant's Mill Pond State Park is approximately
one mile southeast of the farm.
The prison operates a wastewater treatment plant. Treated effluent is stored in
a lagoon and sprayed on trees. Effluent is treated with chlorine for disinfection before
spray application to the land. We did not visit these facilities and need more
information about their activities.
Mr. George Lang farms forty-two acres. He rotates crops such as corn,
soybeans, wheat, cotton and peanuts. He has chicken houses growing broilers for
Perdue Farms. There is a 7000 head "wean and feed hog operation". Chicken waste
is composted under a shed and disked into the land. Hog waste is anaerobically
digested in a lagoon, and sprayed onto the land. Either chicken waste or hog waste
are applied to crops, except peanuts, for fertilizer.
Mr. Lang has an approved plan for land application of chicken waste and spray
application of hog waste. The amount of waste that he can apply (disking or spraying)
is determined by the nitrogen content of the waste and the type of crop being grown.
Soil moisture, weather forecasts and factors may also be considered when determining
the amount of waste that can be applied.
There are six fixed strips where liquid digested hog wastes are spray applied to
the land. The wastes are pumped to the strips in a fixed piping system and applied with
a high pressure spray gun. Mr. Lang's home is between some of his spray fields and
the Dillard residence. Lang has a windsock and said that he is extremely careful not to
spray when the wind is from the North.
The chicken houses and hog operation (houses and waste lagoon) are several
hundred yards from occupied structures. In a "wean and feed" operation, piglets come
to the farm at two weeks old and 10-12 pounds. They leave the farm 6 weeks later at
about 50 pounds. In the system used by the Lang Farm, liquid animal wastes are
collected in pits under the houses. The houses are ventilated with directional air flow.
Air is introduced from above and exhausted from the waste pits below. There are
seven hog houses growing pigs on a six -week cycle. One house is always empty in
preparation for the next herd. In between cycles, hog waste from underneath the
houses flows into a waste lagoon for anaerobic digestion. Lang provides the land, hog
houses, and waste facilities, Williams Farms of North Carolina owns the pigs and
operates the houses.

Memorandum: Dillard Residence and Lang Farm
Page Three
January 15, 1999
We met with David Oldham, of Williams Farms to discuss the waste
management issues. The only chemicals used in the hog operation are disinfectants.
Between herds, the hog houses are spray disinfected with a commercial disinfectant.
The concentrated solution contains 2% formaldehyde, and detergents. Because of the
scheduling, one house per week is washed. Formaldehyde is unlikely to be a source of
significant exposure to the community due to dilution is application and disposal.
Recommendations for Further Action
♦ Work with Ms. Dillard to develop a method to log odor events. Her data can
later be compared with Mr. Lang's records. If Ms. Dillard develops acute
laryngitis or loses her voice, she should be seen by a specialist as quickly
possible characterize her illness.
♦ Work with the local health department and DWQ to obtain better information
about the prison waste treatment plant and spray application activities. Make on
site visits to observe of these activities.
♦ Encourage Mr. Lang to note the wind direction when he sprays. Work with Mr.
Lang to observe application of both hog and chicken waste and other agricultural
activities.
♦ Consider a survey of other residences in the vicinity about issues related to the
Lang farm.
♦ Promote good risk management practices and maintain lines of communication
among all of the parties including residents, the prison, the schools, Mr. Lang,
Mr. Oldham, DWQ and DAQ.
Please feel free to contact me at [phone] with any questions. This is a
very interesting project if approached with an objective view and is worth pursuing.

On 10/26/98, 1 received a call from Phyllis Gray in Dr. McBride's office. Ms. Gray told
me to contact a Ms. J. Dillard in Gates County in response to a request from Congressw0i6an':'.':
Eva Clayton's office who reported that a chemical exposure was making 1Vls. oillard ill.
1 spoke with Ms. Dillard on 10/26 and she told me that she was getting sick and losing .
her voice every time she was exposed to waste water spraying on a field next ` o her house;. ! `
When I reported this to Ms. Gray, she instructed me to visit Ms. Dillard and 1pvestisate fu`rthet.
On 11/2/98, I met with Ms. Dillard at her house near Sunbury, North Carolina. NHS, ,
Dillard has lived in her home for approximately 35 years. Three years ago, her nei g hbor, Mr,
Lang contracted his land out and seven hog houses were built about 10 yards fro_ m her houso
with one hog lagoon the same distance from leer house. In addition, twQ'chicken Houses were.
next to the hog houses. To the right of her house about 150 yards away is a prison fartz with "a
waste water lagoon. Both the hog farmer and the prison farm spray waste wakes on a r;elcl
adjacent to Ms. Dillard's home about 75 yards from the house. When the spraying ocCu;�, Ms.
Zro-
Dillard complains that the spray affects her breathing and causes her to lose lief vdic"e" 1n itil�ar
1998, she saw a physician when this occurred and he described in his notes'as her' "cilemicsl
laryngitis" and prescribed medication for Ms. Dillard. Ms.. Dillard told me that this probiem 11as
n' t
occurred every time they sprayed in the last few months and that her children,; grandchitldren, and
husband report burning eyes when they are exposed to the 'waste spray, although they do not
have laryngitis.
Ms. Dillard has been reluctant to see her doctor again even though the health problems
continue to occur upon exposure to the waste spray because she does not have medical insurance
and the doctor visits are expensive. I recommended that if she can, she still should try to see heir'
doctor when this occurs.

(1) Ms. Dillard should be seen by a specialist for a further follow up or) her.condition and
needs to speak to a physician on our staff for their medical opinion. She -.supplied me
with some medical records for our physician to review_ As she cannot_afford to pay for

Dear Mr. Lang:
On October 1, 1997, Carl Dunn from the Washington Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality conducted an inspection of your swine operation. This inspection is one of two annual
inspections as required by Senate Bill 1217, The Division of Soil and Water Conservation will also
conduct an inspection of your intensive livestock operation during the 1997 calender year.
The following comments are in regard to the inspection of facility 37-3.
The freeboard was observed to be approximately 6 feet for your lagoon. You are advised that
you must maintain a freeboard of at least one foot in each lagoon plus a storage volume
sufficient to accommodate the rainfall and any subsequent runoff from a 25 year 24 hour storm
event to remain in compliance.
You are reminded that you will need to have a liquid level marker in any waste handling
structure that does not gravity feed through a free flowing transfer pipe to a subsequent
structure.
You need to complete the Nitrogen Balance for your waste application
Thank you for your cooperation in this inspection. if you have any questions in regard to this

other similar man-made device):
On March 22, 1994, wastewater was seeping through the lagoon
dike walls of George Lang's Swine Operation and was flowing
into the UT to Bennetts Creek. The surface area of the lagoon
is approximately 1.5 acres in size and six to seven feet in
depth. The lagoon had no available freeboard.
Do or Have Discharges Occurred in Response to a Storm Event of
Less Than a 25-year, 24-hour Intensity (if yes, include a
brief listing of incidents and suspected causes):
There is no evidence that discharges occurred as a result of
storm or other rainfall events.
Type of Waste Management (Examples: type of confinement -
free stall barns, sheltered or limited shelter dirt lots,
paved or dirt open lots, swine houses, pasture; type of waste
handling - direct spreading in solid form, slotted floors with
lagoon or pit, single or multi -cell lagoon, aerated lagoon,
land application of liquid manure, spray irrigation,
contractor disposal, etc.):

Water Quality Assessment (Include description of sampling,
field measurements, visual observations and slope and
vegetative cover of land adjacent to water, extent of rainfall
and other factors relative to the likelihood or frequency of
discharge of animal wastes and process wastewaters):
No field measurements were taken at the site. Photographs
were taken of the violations. Wastewater was seeping through
the dike wall of the lagoon and flowing downhill towards a UT
to Bennetts Creek. Mr. Lang had tried to build up the dike
wall several times but was unable to stop the seepage. The
area around the lagoon had a good vegetative coverage.
Recommendations Made to Owner/Operator:
Mr. Lang was urged to fix his dike wall. Mr. Lang indicated as
soon as the fields were dry enough for equipment operation, he
would then begin spray irrigation to lower the lagoon. He was
also urged to contact his SCS representative for assistance in
implementing a waste management plan at his operation.
Recommendations for Further DEM Action (Re -inspect, designate,
etc.):
The Washington Regional Office recommends the George Lang
Swine Operation be designated as a Concentrated Animal Feeding
Operation.
