The following deficiencies were noted during the inspection. cp In accordance with condition III, item 2 of your General Permit, you are required to record weekly lagoon levels on forms provided and/or approved by DWQ. cp In accordance with General Permit, land application shall be in accordance with the CAWMP. Each crop has an ideal irrigation window and fescue is a cool weather grass therefore it should not be applied onto in the hottest months such as June, July, August and possibly September. Follow your waste plan and general permit. 943 Washington Square Mall, Washington, North Carolina 27889 Telephone 252-946-6481 FAX 252-946-9215 An Equal Opportunity AffirmaUw Action Employer Page 2 Belvidere Farms # 72-12. (p The irrigation records were unavailable because of being misplaced. It is advised to find them and/or calculate an estimated amount of nitrogen that has been applied and create irrigation records. It was mentioned that the lagoon had been dropped by approx. 18 inches. cp Continue to address the weeds on the dike wall and in the sprayfields. The vegetation on the dike wall needs to be controlled so that a visual inspection can be done by you and by the inspectors. cp It is suggested to contact your Technical Specialist for assistance on the accuracy of the lagoon marker in comparison to the lagoon wall. As a reminder, please note the following which are conditions of the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan and the general permit therefore these items must be implemented: cp The maximum waste level in lagoons/storage ponds shall not exceed that specified in the CAVVW. At a minimum, maximum waste level for waste for lagoons/storage ponds must not exceed the level that provides adequate storage to contain 25 year, 24 hours storm event plus an additional foot of structural freeboard. cp An analysis of the liquid animal waste from the lagoon shall be conducted as close to the time of application as practical and at least within 60 days (before or after) of the date of application. This analysis shall include the following parameters: Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Zinc and Copper. (p Soil analysis is required annually cp The following records are required: rainfall and lagoon level data, off -site solids removal, maintenance, repair, waste/soil analysis and land irrigation records. These records should be maintained by the facility owner/manager in chronological and legible form for a minimum of three years. (p Land application rates shall be in accordance with the CAWW. In no case shall land implication rates exceed the Plant Available Nitrogen AM rate for the receiving crop or result in runoff during my gLve application. cp Keep lagoons/storage ponds free of foreign debris including, but not limited to tires, bottles, plastic products, light bulbs, gloves, syringes or any other solids waste. (p The lagoon areas should be kept mowed or otherwise controlled and accessible. High grass does not allow you to conduct a thorough inspection of the lagoon area for seepage, rodent damage, etc. (p It is suggested not required to keep crop yield information for future use to update your waste management plan. You will need three years of crop yield data before your plan can be updated. Thank you for your assistance and cooperation during the inspection.

July 18, 1997 Page 2 4. Ducks, cows and a goat had complete access to the lagoons and there were large areas of erosion along the dike walls. Animals should be limited to their access to the dike walls. A vegetative cover must be maintained on the dike walls. 5. Tires and trash were noted in the lagoon. All foreign debris and objects must be removed and kept out of the lagoon according to the NRCS guidelines. 6. Maximum and minimum pump markers will be installed as a requirement of certification. These markers are to be installed to show the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of the lagoon. Pumping should be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. The primary lagoon is pumped into the secondary lagoon therefore it is recommended to install markers in the primary lagoon as well. 7. Irrigation records must be kept and the IRR-1 and IRR-2 forms should be used. As a reminder, a minimum of nineteen inches of freeboard must be maintained in the lagoon and it is required to maintain a buffer of twenty-five feet while spray irrigating from any drainage system (ditch, swale, canal, stream, etc.). Please be aware that it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes to discharge wastewater to the surface waters (farm ditches, creeks, streams, etc) of the State without a permit. The Division of Water Quality has the authority to levy a fine of not more than $10,000 per day for the unpermitted discharge of wastewater into the surface waters of the State.
