The permit condition quoted below states that if the state or federal government establishes phosphorus loss standards your facility must conduct an evaluation within 180 days. The Federal Natural Resources Conservation Service has now established this standard. A computer -based program was developed to determine how much phosphorus was being lost from different fields. Instructions on how to comply with this requirement are provided below. In accordance with your NPDES Permit Number NCA240153 Condition I.6, your facility must now conduct a Phosphorus Loss Assessment. Condition 1.6 states: "If prior to the expiration date of this permit either the state or federal government establishes Phosphorus loss standards that are applicable to land application activities at a facility operating under this permit, the Permittee must conduct an evaluation of the facility and its CAMW under the requirements of the Phosphorus loss standards to determine the facility's ability to comply with the standards. This evaluation must be documented on forms supplied or approved by the Division and must be submitted to the Division. This evaluation must be completed by existing facilities within six (6) months of receiving notification from the Division. Once Phosphorus loss standards are established by the state or r federal government that are applicable to facilities applying to operate under this permit, no Certificate of Coverage will b: issued to any new or expanding facility to operate under this permit until the applicant demonstrates that the new or expanding facility can comply with these standards." The method of evaluation is the Phosphorous Loss Assessment Tool (PLAT) developed by NC State University and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. PLAT addresses four potential loss pathways: leaching, erosion, runoff and direct movement of waste over the surface. Each field must be individually evaluated and rated as either low, medium, high or very high according to its Phosphorus NorthCarolina Aquifer Protection Section 1636 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1636 Phone (919) 733-3221 Customer Sc7%ice Internet_ http://h2o.enr-state-nc.us 2728 Capital Boulevard Raleigh, W 27604 Fax (919) 715-0588 1-877-623-6748 Fax (919)715-6048 An Equal OppMunity/Affirmative Action Employer- 50% Recyded/10% Post Consumer Paper Jerry Cunningham Page 2 January 3, 2006 loss potential.

From the date of receipt of this letter, a period of 180 days is provided to perform PLAT and return the certification form to DWQ. Only a technical specialist who has received specific training may perform PLAT. You are encouraged to contact a technical specialist now to run PLAT on your farm. Your local Soil and Water Conservation District may be able to provide assistance. This information on the attached form(;} must be submitted within 180 days of receipt of this letter to: Animal Feeding Operations Unit Division of Water Quality 1636 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1636 NPDES permitted farms will need to have implemented a nutrient management plan which addresses phosphorus loss before the next permit cycle beginning July, 2007. If you have any fields with a high or very high rating, then your waste utilization plan will require modifications. The purpose of performing PLAT this early is to allow adequate time for making waste plan modifications where necessary. With the next permit, continued application of waste will not be allowed on fields with a very high rating_ For fields rated high, only the amount of phosphorus projected to be removed by the harvested crop. For low and medium ratings, phosphorus will not be the limiting factor. Once the PLAT evaluation is completed on your farm, you will know if you have fields that need further work. You are encouraged tQ begin developing and implementing a strategy to deal with any issues as soon as possible.'

These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for each source. the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates sho,.}n in the second column. Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At clean out. this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied. Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields With high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

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

Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data. climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance). 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----- 267455 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed- 7/25/2006 Specification Die 1 S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fail or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 25 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall. be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 111995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters. 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 over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------- ---------------------------------- -- 267455 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 7/25r2006 Specificadon Page 2 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining 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 far direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. . 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed. to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23.

SON REG40A�.UFFiCt Subject: Notification for Phosphorus Loss Assessment Cunningham Farms #f 1 & 2 Permit Number NCA240153 Facility 40-153 Greene County There is a condition in your recently issued Animal Waste Management General NPDES Permit addressing phosphorous loss standards. The permit condition quoted below states that if the state or federal government establishes phosphorus loss standards your facility must conduct an evaluation within 180 days. The Federal Natural Resources Conservation Service has now established this standard. A computer -based program was developed to determine how much phosphorus was being lost from different fields. Instructions on how to comply with this requirement are provided below. In accordance with your NPDES Permit Number NCA240153 Condition I.6, your facility must now conduct a Phosphorus Loss Assessment- Condition I.6 states: "If prior to the expiration date of this permit either the state or federal government establishes Phosphorus loss standards that are applicable to land application activities at a facility operating under this permit, the Permittee must conduct an evaluation of the facility and its CAWMP under the requirements of the Phosphorus loss standards to determine the facility's ability to comply with the standards- This evaluation must be documented on forms supplied or approved by the Division and must be submitted to the Division. This evaluation must be completed by existing facilities within six (6) months of receiving notification from the Division. Once Phosphorus loss standards are established by the state or federal government that are applicable to facilities applying to operate "under this permit, "no Certificate of Coverage will be issued to any new or expanding facility to operate under this permit until the applicant . demonstrates that the new or expanding facility can comply with these standards." - The method of evaluation is the Phosphorous Loss Assessment Tool (PLAT) developed by NC State University and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. PLAT addresses four potential loss pathways: leaching, erosion, runoff and direct movement of waste over the surface. Each field must be individually evaluated and rated as either low, medium, high or very high according to its Phosphorus No Carolina �t11PUlly Aquifer Protection Section 1636 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1636 Phone (919) 733-3221 Customer service Internet: http://h2o.car.state.ne.us 2728 Capital Boulevard Raleigh, NC 27604 Fax (919) 715-0588 1-877-623-6748 .

Only a technical specialist who has received specific training may perform PLAT. You are encouraged to contact a technical specialist now to run PLAT on your farm. Your local Soil and Water Conservation District may be able to provide assistance. This information on the attached form(s) must be submitted within 180 days of receipt of this letter to: Animal Feeding Operations Unit Division of Water Quality 1636 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1636 NPDES permitted farms will need to have implemented a nutrient management plan which addresses phosphorus loss before the next permit cycle beginning July, 2007. If you have any fields with a high or very high rating, then your waste utilization plan will require modifications. The purpose of performing PLAT this early is to allow adequate time for making waste plan modifications where necessary. With the next permit, continued application of waste will not be allowed on fields with a very high rating. For fields rated high, only the amount of phosphorus projected to be removed by the harvested crop. For low and medium ratings, phosphorus will not be the limiting factor. Once the PLAT evaluation is completed on your farm, you will know if you have fields that need further work. You are encouraged to begin r developing and implementing a strategy to deal with any issues as soon as possible.

Director Division of Water Quality E J U N 14 2005 WASHINGTON REGIONAL OFFICE I)WO This letter is to notify you that -the subject facility is in violation of its General Permit NCA240153 Condition 1I1.16. Your NPDES Permit Number NCA240153 Condition 111.16 states: "All facilities, which are issued a COC to operate under this permit, shall conduct a survey of the sludge accumulation in all lagoons within one (1) year of receiving the COC and every year thereafter. This survey shall include but not be limited to a sketch showing the depth of sludge in the various locations within each lagoon. This survey shall be submitted as part of the facility's annual report in the year it was conducted. This survey frequency may be reduced if it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Division that the rate of sludge accumulation does not warrant an annual survey. If the sludge accumulation is such that it is greater than the volume for which the lagoon was designed or reduces the minimum treatment volume to less than the volume for which the lagoon was designed, a plan must be submitted to the Division's Central Office within ninety (90) days of this determination which documents removal and waste utilization procedures to be used." Our records indicate that the Division has not received the sludge survey results for the year 2004 from your facility. The form was due March 1, 2005.

Waste should be analyzed beforteea application cycle. Ann'6al soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutd6nt_s ca balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. _ y-� 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'theneeds of the crop4q be grown and the nutrient contents of the waste. Do not apply.more nitrogen than the cro can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different Infiltr bon rates, leaching potenti�, cation exchange capacities, and avaialable water holding,capacdies., Normaliy waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5.tons per, acre per year. With special prey -cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to,10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on :. saturated soils, when it is raining;�or wlfen the surface is frozen. Either of` hese conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which.is-not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also.be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crap production and to reduce'the potential for pollution, the waste should -be applied to a:growind drop or applied to bare ground not more than 30.days prior to planting. Injecting the wa'ste`or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on waste application `through irrigation for this is =_ cr the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste.

Acres show in each of the preceeding tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations'. Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nurturient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 3823.04 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge. See the attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen.needs of the crop. Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once bVery5.92 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be within 0 feet of the top of the dike. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsiblity of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

Panty S of 4 PLANS & SPECIFICATIONS 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Water Quality for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to'adequate land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. - 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. (See FOTG Stantard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when 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 NRCS Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.) '7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied -in fail or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a crop on bare soil. 11. 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 anv residential orWerty boundary Panty R of 4 and from any perennial stream or river (other that 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 perennial waters. (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 landownwer. a 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right - of ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted croplands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the application causes no runoff or drift from the site. *16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. *17. 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 con sidered'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 as a preemergence with no other applications of animal waste during the crop season. *21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume fpr waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production amd maintained. Soil•and waste analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. Pana 9 of 4 - - 23.

On March 14, 2003. the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued an NPDES General Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued to enable swine facilities in North Carolina to obtain coverage under a single permit that addresses both State and Federal requirements. In accordance with your application received on February 5, 2003, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Jerry Cunningham, authorizing .the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with NPDES General Permit NCA200000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your COC Number AWS400153 to operate under State Non -Discharge Permit AWGIO000O. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Cunningham Farms #1 & 2, located in Greene County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 9792 Feeder to Finish 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 July 1, 2007. 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 General Permit. Since this is a new joint State and Federal general permit it contains many new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in -the current 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.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fert i i i zer required for the craps in the fields where waste is to be applied. This waste,utilization plan uses n4trogen as the d i m i t i ng nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each app I i cation cycle.Annual so i 1 tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic -yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste ut i I i zat i on p I an i n order to max i m i ze the feet i I i zer va I ue of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crap t9 be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. DF_a not apply more nit0gen' than the crap can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different i of i l i trat i on rates, leaching potentials, cation . exchangi capacities, and available water- holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater- than 5 tens per acre per year. With special pre- cautions, waste may be app l i ed to land eroding at up to 10 tams per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated so i l s, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either- of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not al lowed under- DEM regulations. Wind conditions- sha_Fu l d also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor- problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the pote1t t i a l for po l 1 ut 1 on y the waste shou I d be app 1 i ed to. a grow i ng crop or app I i ed to bare ground not more than :=0 days prior" to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor" problems. This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to inject the waste in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating waste are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based or', typical nutrient content for this type of fac i i i ty. Acreage require- ments should be ba.wed on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you wi I l find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer- of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste ut i I i za.t i on plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NC:AC 2H.0217 adopted 'by the Environmental Management Gomm i ss i i-,n.

NARRATIVE OF OPERATION None. r • WASTE UTILIZATION PLA,* PAGE Plans and Specificati= 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct d fscharge during operat i c=n or land app l i cation. Any discharge =f waste .wh i c h reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the d i sc6arge continues. �. The Field Office must have documentation in the design foider that the producer" either- owns or has long term access to adequate land to properly dispose of waste. If the producey does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he sha I l provide MRCS with a copy of a written agreement with'a landowner -,who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her-the use of the land for - waste applization for the life expectancy of the production fac i l i ty. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Flan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number- of animals, method of utilization, or available land. _. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for real i st i c crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be app I i ed to land that' bias a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS) _ If an ACS is used the soil loss 'shall be no greater - than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate f i I ter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. (See FOT6 Standard 093 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting thn waste or d i sly i ng after - waste app i i cation. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be so i t 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 NRC:S Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance. 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil i of i I trat i on rate such that runoff does not occur offs i to or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during app l i cation. No pond i n'g should occur" in order to control conditions conducive to odor or f l i es and to provide uniformity of app l i cat i =_=n. S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, durigg rainfall events, or- when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growino crops in such a. manner- that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. WASTE UU L I?AT I ON PLAN PAGE 9 10. Waste nutr i ents ShO not be app I i ed i n fa i I 41L i rater for- syr i ng planted craps on sa i t s with a high potential for leaching.

Waste shall not be app l i ed more than, 30 days pr i or to p I ant i ng of a crop on base so i I . 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter- strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips) M Animal waste sha l I not be applied c i oser- than 100 feet to we I I s. 13.

Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, dra i nageways, or wetlands by discharge or by aver -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on ;gassed waterways that d i schar•ae into water courses, except when appiied at agronomit7rates and the app I i cation causes no runoff or drift fr.om the site. 16, Domestic and industrial waste from washd6wn facilities, showers, to i I ets, sinks, etc . , shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour" storm event- in addition to one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. 18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). if needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and ether 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 erasion, leakage or discharge. 19. If animal production at the facility i s to be suspended or terminated, the owner- is responsible for obtaining and imple- menting a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 20. baste handling structures, piping, pumps., reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist shQuId be kept on site. • . .

Only the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your plan. An evaluation by Pat Hooper on 5/26/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X". Category 1: ❑ The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Pat Hooper the necessary information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre determination. Please submit this information to Pat Hooper, at 943 Washington Square Mall, Washington, NC 27889, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any questions please contact Pat Hooper at (252) 946-6481. If within 90 days you are unable to provide Pat Hooper with the information you are automatically required to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2 below, within 180 days of receipt of this letter.- 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone 919-733-5083 Fax 919-715-6048 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recyded/10% post -consumer paper Notification for Wettable Acre Determination Animal Waste Management System Page 2 Category 2: Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this designation, or a Professional Engineer. All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWQ within the next 180 days. If the needed modifications are not.made and if the form is not returned within the required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation, and/or injunctive relief. Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local. County Ordinance, or permitting requirement. If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Sonya Avant of our Central Office staff at (919) 733-5083 ext. 571.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where waste is to be app|ied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of `the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infi1itration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Norma||y'waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre. per year. With special pre- cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result /n runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEN regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for po||ution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to inject the waste in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating waste are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage require- ments should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmenta| Management Commission.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE T See attached mapshowing the f i e i ds to be used for the ut i I i zat i on of waste water. APPL I CA I r;N OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the so i I at the time of irrigation such that runoff or pon d i ng occurs. This rate is limited by i n i t i a.l soil moisture content, soil structure, so i t texture, water droplet size, and organic so l ids. The app l i cation amount should not exceed the available Water- holding capacity of the {-oil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant ava i l airy l e nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. Your i'a.c i i i ty is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the tefilpor-ar..y storage must be r-F?fi?iived on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of Waste being stored in your structure. be W i th i n 1.7 feet of the top of the dike. If surface irrigation is the method of f land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is i nsta I l ed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and Z. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical special i st after- you receive the Waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount t of Waste per acre and the proper application rate prior or" to applying the waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION: N o ne . WASTE UT I ! I ZAT 11=€N PLAN PAGE 8 Plans and Specifications Animal waste sh l l Not reach surface waters of the state by runoff drift, manmade conveyances, direct app l i c;st i :=n, or direct discharge during operation or land app l i cat i on. Any discharge of waste which reach s surface water is prohibitedw Illegal d i scharg6s are subject to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. The Field Office mast have documentation in the design folder that the producer either iiwn,_ or has long term access to adequate land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with _. copy of a written agreement with a. landowner who is w i th€ i f a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production f ac i l i ty. It is the r esYI!_ ns i b i l i ty ' of the owner of the fac i l i ty to secure an update of the Waste iUt i l i at i on Plan when there is a. change in the operation, increase in the., number of animals, :i:ethiod of ut i l i _'at i t. n, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for real i tic crop yields based on so i l type, ava i t ab l e moisture, historical data, c l i mat"e conditions, and i eve l of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of app i i cation for :ether nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be app I i ed to land that has a. Resource Nanagement System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). if an ACS is used the soil l oss 'sha I I be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate f i l ter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These f i l ter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. (See E_€ T;_i Standard 393 - ; i l ter- Strips and Standard 90 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers). . Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste app l i cat i on. Waste should not be appl i ed when the wind is blowing. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally t i ? led cropland. When app l i ed to conservation t i l led crops or- grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided ded the application does not occur during a. season prone to flooding. (See "Weather- and Climate in North Carolina" in the NRCS Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance. 7. Liquid waste sha l l be app l i eat at rates not to exceed the so i l i of i l trat i on rate such that runoff does not occur- offsite or - to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No pon: i ng should occur in order to control conditions conducive to i:dor- or f l i es and to provide uniformity of app l i c J.t i on. 8. Animal waste sh-- l l not be app l i ed to saturated sCi i . s, during r ainfal l event.,_, or when he surface is frozen. 1. Animal :waste sh l l be app l i ed on actively growing crops in such a. manner tilei.'r= no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN PAGE 9 10.

Waste sha l i not be app I i ed more than 20 days pr- i rr to planting of a crop on bare so i l . 11, Animal waste sha i I not be app i i ed closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative e f i l ter- strips a r- e present. (See Standard 393 -- Filter Strips) 12. Animal waste sha l i not be app l i ed closer than 100 feet to we I l s . 13. Animal waste shall not be applied -loser- than 2()0 feet o'4 dwe i l i ngs other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner" not to reach other -- property and pub i. i c right -of ways. 15. Animal waste sha l l not be discharged into surface waters, dr"a i nageways, or wetlands by discharge or- by over -spraying. Animal waste may be app i i ed to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a. "technical spec I a l i st" . Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge into water courses, except when a.pp i i ed at agronomic c rates and the app l i c at i +_+n causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, ysl•€owe rs y toilets, sinks, etc . , sha I l not be discharged i nt+._j the animal waste management system. 17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating I eve I to provide adequate storage for a 5-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. 18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be estab i i shed on all disturbed areas ( lagoon embankments,. berms, pipe runs, etc .) . If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and steal l•, be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are l i m i ted to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. 19. If animal production at the fac i l i ty is to be suspended or terminated, the owner" is responsible for obtaining and i fnp i e- ment i ng a. "closure plan" 'Which will eliminate the pass i b i l i ty of an illegal discharge, po l l ut I on and erosion. 20. Waste (land l i nJ structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and `p i l l s. A regular maintenance c.heck l i st should be kept on site.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where waste is to be applied. This waste uti|ization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have differ'ent infi|itration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be app(ied to {and eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre- cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind condition5 should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to inject the waste in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating waste are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage require- ments should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utiiization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management commission.

TOTAL|0 ~ indicates that this field is being ovarsaoded (i.e. ioterp|anted) or winter annuals follow summer annuals. In interp<anted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in barmudaSrass), forage must be removed through grazing, hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etcj is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere with the stand of bermuda3rass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage Just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. 8ermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results. * Acreage figures may exceed total acreage in fields due to overseedin8. ** |hs AN N (animal waste nitrogen) equals total required nitrogen less any commercial nitrogen (COMM N) supplied.

Anima.| waste sha|/ not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, dr(ft, manmade conveyances, direct app|ication, or rect dischar8e during operatioo or |and app}ication. Any dischar8e of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. I|!ega| discharges are subject to assesssent of civi/ pena}ties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmenta| Management for every day the disch�r8e continues. 2. The Fie|d Office must h�ve documentation in the desi8n fo|der that the producer either owms or has |ong term access tn a4equate |and to proper|y dispoe of waste. lf the producer does �ot own adequate |and to proper|y dispose of waste, he sha|| provide NRCB with a copy of a riIL- ten agreement with a |andowner who is within a reasonab|e proximity, a||owin3 him/her the use of the |and for waste appiication for the |ife expectancy of tme production faci|ity. It is the responsibi|ity of the owner of the faci|ity to secure an update of the Waste Uti|ization P|an when there is a chan3e in the operation, increase in the number of anima|s, method of tit | izat1�oo, or avai|ab|e |and. 3' Anima| waste sha|| be app|ied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs foc rea|istic crop yie�ds based on soii type, avai|ab|e moisture, historica| data/ c|imate conditions, and |eve| of mana8ement, un|ess there are regu|ations that restrict the rate of app|icat ior, for other nutrients. 4. Anima| waste may be app|ied to |and that has a Resource Mana8emeot System (RMS) or an A|ternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soi| }oss sha|| be no greater - than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate fi!ter- strips wi| | be used where runoff leaves the fie|d. These fi|ter strips wi I be in addition to "8uffers" raquired by DEM. ' (See FOT6 Standard 393 - Fi|ter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest 8uffers). 5. Odors can be reduced by inJectinS the waste or diskin8 aftor was±e app|ication. Waste shou|d not be app!ied when the wind is b|own8. 6. When anima| waste is to be app|ied on acres �ubJect to f|oodin3, it will be soil incorporated on convent iona| I ti| |ed crop|arid. When app|ied to conservation ti}|ed crops or grass{and, the waste may be broadcast provided the app|ication does not occur during a seasr-In prone to f|ood\n8. (See "Weather and C|imate in North Caro|ina" in the NRCS Technica| Reference - Environment fi|e for guidance. 7. Liquid waate sha1, | be app|ied at rates not to exceed the soi{ infi|tration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site durnh i8 app|ication. No pondin8 sou|d occur in order to contro| conditions conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of app|icat ion. 8. Anima| waste sha|| not be app| ied to saturated soi|s' durin8 rainfa|| events, or when the surface is frozeo. 9. Anima| waste sha|| be app|ied on actively 8rowinS crops in smch a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. ' WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient !oadinS rates on these soils ' should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a crop on bare soi | . 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not poreonia| 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 dwe||ings other than those owned by the landowner, 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and pub|ic right -of ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, draina8eways, or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying. . Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge into water- courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the application causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. 18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms' pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. 19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and imple- menting a "closure p|an^ which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site.
