The following summary is an explanation of the violation. It was determined that the operator was applying on saturated soils and that the reel speed was too slow for the conditions, contrary to the company's instructions and training protocols. During the night we received an unexpected rainfall event of 1.2" that washed out our containments and carried the effluent off of our property. The following is a description of actions taken and plans in place to prevent a reoccurrence. a. Murphy Brown employees worked 4 days and invested over 540 internal man hours and equipment in efforts to recover all of the effluent that left the field at an estimated cost of $19,500.00. We also brought in a contractor to help with remediation at a cost of $10,970.00. b_ The employee at fault was disciplined. A work order was opened to reemphasize to the group the need to identify saturated soils and not pump on them as well as setting the proper travel speed on equipment. c. Murphy Brown hired Geo Solutions Ltd. to complete a geophysical survey and geochemical evaluation of the site to determine if there were any negative effects to the area influenced by the spill. Their sample results show the effectiveness of the clean up. This survey was completed at a cost of $9,353.00. Murphy Brown has designed a plan that will protect the surrounding properties from being affected from any possible future spills. The plan includes upgrading existing slam gates and installing 4 additional slam gates. Grading waterways, installing and maintaining 12' buffers along ditch banks. The approximate cost to implement these BMP's is $9,000.00. The time frame to have these BMP's in place is Nov. 30t, due to getting the crops out to allow access to all areas identified. .L?

Dear Mr. Nordin, Geo Solutions Limited, Inc. (Geo Solutions) is pleased to submit the results of a geophysical and geochemical evaluation conducted at Murphy -Brown Farm 31351 (formerly Farm 35) located in Pender County, North Carolina at 877 Tuckahoe Road. (see below): Figure 1. Location of Farm 31351, ditch drainage pattern and ditch containment structure. BACKGROUND Farm 31351 is located north of Atkinson, NC, less than one mile north of the intersection of Beatty Bridge and Tuckahoe Roads on Tuckahoe Road. The Farm experienced a waste application run-off event on June 29, 2010 due to the application of waste on saturated soil at pull -irrigation sites 6-B and 9-B. The run-off event was further exacerbated by an unexpected heavy rainfall event on the same evening of the observed surface nun -off (June 29, 2010). The details of the run-off event and a description of the immediate remedial actions taken by Murphy -Brown are detailed in an Accidental Spill Report to Mr. John Farnell NCDENR , Division of Water Quality, 127 Cardinal Drive Extension Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 (see attachment) According to Murphy -Brown Farms, LLC, (Murphy -Brawn), once the surface run-off was recognized, Murphy Brown personnel immediately implemented their waste containment program which required the use pumps, hoses, tanker trucks, and dike plugging equipment. The Murphy Brown spill control crew was able to contain the surface release to a relatively small area, and no affected water entered any of the neighboring controlled surface waters. The affected waters were contained and pumped back into a large waste storage pond located on Farm 31351 (Figure 2). W w'cr 0'&S 4 so Ca AZ-eal ink Figure 2 - Location of Farm 31351, spray units 6-B and 9-B, and surface drainage pattern to two collection areas along Tuckahoe Road. 2 However, the release did, to some degree, pass through a roadway drainage ditch that intersected the property belonging to Ruth Blanchard Dawson (PO Box 277 Atkinson, North Carolina). As such, Murphy Brown was concerned that the affected surface waters may potentially adversely impact the sole operating water supply well on the Dawson property. The Dawson well is reportedly a two-inch jet well completed to a depth of 186 feet where it is screened in the PeeDee Aquifer (Geise, et. al. 1991). The actual well construction markings were not present on the well. Figure 3. Photographs of the Blanchard water supply well with the insulation pulled back to expose 2-inch well and jet pump ports. North Carolina well completion regulations require that the well be sealed from the surface to near the top of the first intake screen using neat cement. We inspected the well and found the site surrounded by debris and some garbage. Evidence of a well -pad seal was not visible; however it is possible that the pad had been covered with soil and other surface debris. The well discharge pipe was loosely covered with thermal insulation. As such, the protection of the well from runoff originating from the area surrounding the well could not be evaluated. Geo Solution reviewed the rainfall information from the WILD Econet station at the Williamsdale, North Carolina. The Climatic Field Lab is operated by the State Climate office of North Carolina and maintains the NC CRONOS climate data. The site is located in southwestern Duplin County approximately 16 miles to the northeast of the Pender county farm site. The NC CRONOS rainfall records reported 0.69 inches of rainfall on June 29, 2010 (Figure 2), local rainfall may have been more. This was a departure of —0.5 inches from average daily rainfall in 3 the area. In addition, June 2010 was reported as the wettest month on record since September 2008 at the WILD Field Station.

Farm 31351 in northwestern Pender County is located in mostly hydric (wetlands) soils with deep drainage ditches around the perimeter of the fields to improve land drainage so that farm equipment can work in the fields (Figure 3). The purpose of this study was to gather some preliminary data to investigate impacts of the reported waste runoff event of June 29ffi in the drainage ditchs around 420 Tuckahoe Road. Geo Solutions collected samples in the drainage ditch along Tuckahoe road, drainage ditches around the Dawson property, and one water sample was collected from the Dawson well that is reported to be 186 feet deep. An additional sample was collected from the waste lagoon on Farm 31351 for isotopic fingerprinting. 4 Figure 4a. Surface water sample locations for samples taken by Geo Solutions and Murphy -Brown Figure 4b. surface water sample locations around 420 Tuckahoe Road for samples taken by Geo solutions and Murphy -Brown. Murphy Brown personnel collected 11 surface water samples from 7-1-2010 to 7-6-2010 that were analyzed by Vann Labs, Warsaw, NC for nitrogen content (Figures 4a, b). 7 GEOPHYSICAL EVALUATION Introduction An Electromagnetic (EM) investigation was conducted around the perimeter of the Dawson property to investigate conductivity changes in shallow groundwater that would indicate impacts of waste water from the ditches that surround the property. A detailed multifrequency electromagnetic survey adjacent to the ditches was completed on July 2, 2010, three days after the surface runoff event. The survey was completed using a GEM-2 Multifrequency Electromagnetic Profiler (GEM-2 EM) manufactured by Geophex, Inc., and carried by hand using a shoulder strap. The GEM-2 was used to collect the in -phase and quadrature mode data at 7-frequencies (1470 Hz, 5010 Hz, 9990 Hz, 19950 Hz, 39510 Hz, 60030 Hz and 90030 Hz). Each quadrature data set was converted to apparent electrical conductivity values using the WinGem2 Software. Base on the results of these data, Geo Solutions selected the 60030 Hz data to best represent the distribution of the combined soil and groundwater conductivity data. The result of the apparent electrical conductivity values the 60030 Hz frequency EM data was tabulated and then contoured. The results of this contouring process are presented in Figure 5. The green hues of Figure 5 indicate normal and low conductivities in unaffected soil/groundwater. Along Tuckahoe Road there are yellow areas adjacent to the ditch which is normal for standing water in a ditch. The only areas that have high conductivities are along the driveway where utilities enter the property, and some areas along the northern boundary where metal debris is found on the surface. No boundary area contains a consistent high conductivity plume that extends from a drainage ditch onto the property, indicating that the affected ditch water has had little or no impact on the Dawson property. 8 3826850 3826800 3826730 3826700 3826650 3826600 758600 758650 758700 758750 758800 758850 LJSGS UTM COORDINATES (METRIC) 80 60 40 20 0 60030 Hz APPARENT CONDUCTIVITY (MSIM) Figure 5.

E GEOLOGIC BACKGROUND Farms 31351 are situated in the south central coastal plain of North Carolina in the Cape Fear River Basin. The farm is underlain by the PeeDee Formation (Kp, Figure 6) which is comprised of sand, clayey sand, and clay, greenish gray to olive black, massive, glauconitic, locally fossiliferous and calcareous marls. The PeeDee formation is a large aquifer system in the southeastern NC Coastal Plain that is separated by from the water table aquifer by a 50 to 100 ft thick aquitard composed of silts and clay. This sandy well drained Cretaceous pelagic deposit is overlain by reworked Quaternary surficiai deposits of sand, clay, gravel, and peat deposited in fluvial (river) environments. These geomorphic features contain well developed dendritic drainage systems that have the traditional coastal plain features of slow flowing creeks surrounded by hydric soils occupying wide floodplains. 10 Figure 6. Geological map of northern Pender County. Farm 31351 is underlain by the PeeDee Formation (Kp) which is a sandy Cretaceous pelagic deposit it SPATIAL ANALYSIS Spatial data was downloaded from the USGS Seamless Data Server (http://seamless.usgs.gov/), and soil data was downloaded from the USDA NRCS Soil Data Mart (http://soildatamart.nres.usda.gov/) and the Soil Data Viewer V5.2 Arcmap extension was used to process the soil data sets. ESRI ArcMap V9.3 was used to view and process the spatial data. The farm complex is 0.7 miles by 0.5 miles in size and is approximately 1.15 miles from the Clovin Creek which crosses Slocum Trail Road on the other side of Beattys Bridge Road. The soils are well drained fine sands, loamy sands, sandy loams, and a mucky fine sandy loam (Pn) that is not well drained (Figure 7). These soils are typical of the PeeDee Formation. The soil types are listed in Appendix 1. Non-hydric soils are present around the hog houses and lagoon on Farm 35, and in the field north of the entrance to the farm (Figure 8). Partially hydric soils are present around the Dawson house and in the adjacent field to the north or the property between Farm 31351 and the Dawson house. Hydric soils are also present along Tuckahoe Road (Figure 8). Hydric soils naturally attenuate nitrate in groundwater, but have reduced percolation capacity. 12 Figure 7. Soil map of Farm 31351 and surrounding area. Well drained soils are found around the hog barns and waste lagoon (NoA), while poorly drained soils are found in the southern application field (Pn). 13 Figure 8. Distribution of hydric soils near Farm 31351. Hydric soils are common in this area, partially hydric soils are found the cultivated field and around the private residence to the south of Farm 31351. 14 GEOCHENUCAL EVALUATION: Background Groundwater Contamination Sources and Isotopic Discrimination The geophysical interpretations can be qualified by geochemical and isotopic analysis of surface waters at the site. 51sN and 8180 of NO3 in surface and ground waters has been used to differentiate between potential nitrogen contaminate sources in agricultural areas, and can indicate areas of extensive nitrate attenuation by denitrification (Aravena and Robertson 1998, Kendall 1998, Kendall and Aravena 2000, Showers et al., 2005, 2008). In many circumstances isotopes offer a direct means of source identification because different sources of nitrogen have distinct isotopic compositions. Biological cycling of nitrogen by the microbial community often changes the isotope ratios in predictable directions ()Figure 6) that can be used to quantify the amount of natural nitrate attenuation. Stable isotopes have become a common tool for tracing the sources of water and solutes in small watersheds, but are underutilized in Iarger basins and in agricultural areas. 2s synr'°�c Dent a, 2D% 2C M 4-NO3 idHl¢er (% msWwl N(hj aox 015.

Synthetic nitrate produced by the oxidation of ammonia via the Haber -Bosch process have low 815N values that reflect an origin of atmospheric N2 generally in the range of -4 to +4%0, and 00 values from 15 to 25%'o reflecting the atmospheric 02 composition of +23°!eo (Figure 8). Plants and soil nitrogen have similar 815N values (+2 to +8%o), and cultivated soils have slightly lower SisN values than non -cultivated soils. Plants Bing N2 from the atmosphere have 815N values of —0 to +2%o, close to the 81sN value of atmospheric N2 (= 0%0). Most terrestrial plants have 81sN in the range of -5 to +2%o. 15 Consumers (microbes to vertebrates) are 2-3%o enriched in 15N relative to their diet. This is mainly due to the excretion of low 61 N organics in urine, so there is a b'$N enrichment of --3.4%o in tissue compared to diet in most animals. Manure is enriched in the heavier isotope by ammonia volatilization, and the amount of volatilization is dependent on how the manure is stored and/or processed. Animal waste with a typical 81 lV value of about +59'.o is converted to nitrate, the 5"N values are generally in the range of +15 to +30%o. So fertilizer nitrate in groundwater can be distinguished from animal waste in groundwater by the 8"N-No3 and 8"ONO3 unless the isotopic values are significantly altered by denitrification. Denitrification results in the production of isotopically depleted N2 or N2O, which concentrate the heavier isotope in the residual groundwater nitrate (Kendall 1998, Kendall and Aravena 2000). The residual nitrate nitrogen becomes twice as enriched as nitrate oxygen in the heavier isotope (6'SNNo3 versus S "ONo3) in this microbial driven process. Groundwater nitrate isotopic compositions are shifted along a line with a slope of 0.5 in areas of extensive denitrification (Figure 6). Showers et al., (2005) used this relationship to determine the source of groundwater nitrate and to define areas of denitrification in biosolid application fields. Showers et al., (2008) used the denitrification model of Seiler (2005) to determine if denitrification or dilution by groundwater recharge was the process driving low nitrate concentrations in a piedmont housing development. If the original isotopic composition of the nitrate contaminate source is known, S 1$NN03 and "0 NO3 can be used to quantify the amount of denitrification in groundwater using an exponential denitrification model (Figure 9, Seiler, 2005, Showers et al.,2008). Isotopes of nitrogen and oxygen in nitrate can separated animal / human waste from fertilizer sources, but can be complicated by extensive denitrification of groundwater nitrate. Using a multiple isotope approach, the amount of denitrification can be estimated by Raleigh fractionation models. Animal waste cannot be confused with fertilizer sources because the groundwater nitrate reservoir can only become more positive with microbial recycling. Unique nitrogen isotopic values are found in hog waste lagoons -because of the extensive amounts of volatilization of ammonium. Animal waste in lagoons is enriched in the heavier 16 Volatilization of NH3 Hog Waste in Mature Hog Lagoon Lagoon Lagoon Residual waste maturation 515Nhog ;s 815Nwaete d 4515NNH3 O% 815NNH4 x +3%o +2%o -9 5 to -25%o +30%o Figure 10.

Ammonia volatilization can removed a significant amount of nitrogen from waste lagoon water before it is sprayed in application fields. This produces a unique nitrogen isotopic signal that is not related to nitrogen concentrations, but can be used to trace the impacts of swine waste sprayed on application fields and to determine the fate of that nitrogen if that waste is transported off the farm system. Chloride Bromide Ratios in Groundwater Chloride and bromide ratios in ground water behave conservatively and have also been used to separate uncontaminated, septic and animal waste sources (Davis et at., 1998, Panno et al. 2006). Cl/Br ratios can be determined by various analytical techniques, and the results vary depending upon the analytical method and the region (Davis et al., 1998, Panno et al. 2006, Hudak and Blanchard 1997, Hudak 2003). In the southwest USA and Alberta, Cl/Br ratios are generally <50-I50 for rainfall, <100 for unaffected soil water, 100-200 for most groundwater, 300-600 for domestic sewage, and 1000-10,000 for runoff affected by brines (Davis et al., 1998). Cl/Br ratios in ground waters from the mid -west are higher, possibly due to the prevalence of road salt. Groundwater affected by animal waste in the mid -west had Cl/Br ratios in the between 1250- 1650 (Panno et al. 2006). Studies in Texas indicate that oil field brines, which have very high Cl/Br ratios, and were pervasive contaminates in shallow groundwater (Hudak and Blanchard 17 1997, Hudak 2003). Showers et al., (2008) found that Cl/Br ratios in North Carolina groundwaters were distinct between areas affected by animal wastes and septic systems. Surface Water Analysis Methods Water samples were collected from surface drainages at Farm 31351 on June 18, 2010, placed in a cooler and brought to the NCSU Stable Isotope Lab in Raleigh, NC (Table 1, 2). Samples were filtered through a 0.45 µm filter and kept at 40C until analysis. Nutrient and ion concentrations (NO3, NH4, PO4, Cl, Br) were determined by flow injection chromatography (Showers et al., 2005, 'USEPA 1993, LaChat 2001, 2002, Showers et al., 2008). NO3 and NH4 concentrations are reported as NO3-N and N114-N. An automated flow injection method for bromide and chloride was modified to increased detection limits by doubling the size of the injection loop from standard techniques (Showers et al., 2008). In addition, baseline detection levels were reduced by using >17 megaOhm polished RO water for the carrier liquid and to mix all standards and chemicals. With these modifications, minimum detection levels were reduced from 0.5 to 0.25 mg/l for chloride and 5 mg/l to 40 µgll for bromide. With the single injection loop, chloride standards had a reproducibility of + 3% from 5 to 100 mg/l. With a double injection loop chloride standards were reproducible + 3% at 5 mg/l and + 1.5 % at 0.5 mg/l. Bromide standards were reproducible + 1% at 5 mg/l, 5% at 2.5 mg/l, and + 9% from 1.5 mg/l to 40 µg/l. These techniques allow Cl/Br ratios to be determined in the groundwater samples. The 8'5N — NO3, 8"0 — NO3 and 615N -- NH4 was determined by Elemental Analysis (EA), pyrolysis (TCEA) and Continuous Flow Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (Showers et al., 2005, 2008). Nitrate and ammonium were concentrated from dissolved samples on ion exchange resins (Biorad AG 50-WX8 cation and; AG 2-X8 anion resins). Eluted samples were neutralized and then cleaned of organic contaminants by passing the eluted sample through a column of cation resin, PVP, silica gel, and SPE C-18, or if organic rich, with a double column of SPE C-18_ The nitrate was converted to AgNO3 with AgO, lyophilized, and analyzed by combustion (815N) or pyrolysis (518O) with a Carlo Erba NC2500 EA, a Thermo TCEA, and a Finnigan Mat Delta+ XL CF-IRMS (Showers et al., 2005, 2008). Ammonium samples were analyzed by EA combustion of the cation resin with a carbon trap inserted before the GC column (Showers et al., 18 2005). Isotopic results were calibrated and corrected to NBS, NIST and internal lab isotope standards (Showers et al., 2005, 2008), and are reported as per mil deviations from the international standard according to the following equation: 815-N, 8180 = f (R)s. / (R)5td�'1) * 103 R=1-5N/14N, or "0/160. Std = Air or VSMOW Statistical analyses of nutrient and isotopic results were completed using Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. SURFACE GEOCHENHSTRY RESULTS The waste lagoon, drinking well water, and surface water samples collected between 7/1 /2010 and 7/6/2010 by Murphy Brown Farm personnel and Geo Solutions near Farm 31351 and analyzed by the NCSU Stable Isotope Lab in Raleigh, ENCO lab in Cary, and VANN lab in Warsaw, NC. The analytical results of all three lab are in good agreement. These results suggest that the impact of the waste water runoff event on June 29, 2010 was confined to the ditches (Tables 1-4). Fecal colliforms were found in all ditch samples tested by ENCO, but not in the private drinking water well (Table 3). Ammonium concentrations were approximately 140 - 220 mg/l N in the waste lagoon at Farm 35. Concentrations changed in the lagoon over the sampling period because ditch water with low nitrogen concentrations were pumped into the lagoon after it removal from the ditches. On July 1 at the downstream darn the ditch water was —.9 mg/l TKN, and on July 2 at the same location the ditch water contained —0.2 mg/l TKN. Ammonium concentrations were highest adjacent to the application fields on July 1, and decreased to south along Tuckahoe Road (Figure 11). On July 2, 2010 nitrate concentrations were below 2.5 mg/1 in all the ditches, and the drinking well water had nitrate and ammonium below detection limits of the analytical techniques (Figure 12). Fecal colliforms were not present in the well water, but were present in all the ditch water samples (Table 3).

This is supported by the low concentration of nitrogen in the well groundwater. The ammonium nitrogen isotopic composition of the waste lagoon is over 30 per mil (Figure 13), typical for waste lagoons in North Carolina during the summer months (Karr et al., 2001). The isotopic composition of ditch water varies from 13 to 20 per mil and has a nitrogen concentration of -2 mg/l. This suggests a dilution of lagoon waste water of -150 to 200%. Some of this dilution would be from rainwater during the run-off event; the rest of the dilution would be from groundwater entering the ditch during pumping operations. This mixing of groundwater and waste water is further supported by the Cl/Br ratios (Figure 15). Waste lagoon CUBr ratios are over 900; well water Cl/Br ratios are -300, and the ditch water 21 Figure 11.

Lagoon, ditch and well water Cl/Sr ratios on duly 2, 2010 at Farm 31351, Pender County, NC. 26 ratios are below 300. Cl/Br ratios can only be altered by mixing from different sources since these ions are conservatively mixed in groundwater and not naturally attenuated. The Cl/Br data also suggest that runoff waste water is diluted by a significant amount in the ditches, and that the well water comes from a different source than the surface water in the area and is unaffected by the waste water runoff event. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS This investigation has used geophysics and geochemistry with spatial analysis to evaluate the influence of animal waste on ground and surface waters near Farm 31351 in Pender County, NC. The geochemical and bacterial results indicate that animal waste was present in the ditches on July 2, 2010. The following is a summary of our results: 1. Based on a comparison of chemical concentrations and isotopic data of water collected from the well and neighboring ditches, the drinking well water has not been affected by the June 29, 2010 release. 2. Based on the geophysical data, it is unlikely that any affected ditch water entered the property at 420 Tuchahoe Road. 3. Nitrate concentrations of ditch water are higher than ammonium concentrations. This suggests a rapid conversion of the reduced form of nitrogen in animal waste to the oxidized from on nitrogen in the ditches. The nitrogen and oxygen composition of nitrate in the ditch water suggests a mixing of sources with the predominate source of nitrate in the ditch not coming from animal waste, but from other sources. 4. The dilution of animal waste in the ditch water is supported by Cl/Br ratios. Simple mass balance equations suggest dilutions of 100 to 200 fold. These data confirm that Murphy - Brown returned at least 100 to 200 gallons of clean ditch and ground -water to the waste pond for every gallon of surface run-off. 5. The presence of fecal colliforms in all the ditch water samples indicates that animal waste present in all ditch locations. 27 6. Because of the high recovery of affected water from the drainage ditches by Murphy - Brown the water level in the ditches actually reversed groundwater infiltration and setup groundwater discharge conditions, thus preventing and reversing the flow of affected ditch waters into the soils of the Dawson property. 7. Because the Dawson drinking water well is completed into the PeeDee Aquifer (a protected aquifer with at least 50 feet of clay aquitard between the well screen and the water table aquifer) it is unlikely that the surface release will adversely impact the drinking water source. Based on these data and the response report by Murphy -Brown we recommend no additional remedial actions be taken beyond what has already been proposed to the State. 28 Literature Cited Aravena R, Robertson WD, Use of multiple isotope tracers to evaluate denitrification in ground water: Study of nitrate from a large -flux septic system plume.

The sequence of events on 6/29/2010 is: 1) Farm 31351 is comprised of 1 site with 1 lagoon and 7 spray fields with a total of 19 pulls. The total wettable acres on this site are 119.66. Land and Nutrient Management technician was irrigating pulls 65 and 913 when his supervisor visiting the site noticed runoff entering the field ditch. The system was immediately shut down and the ditch was dammed to contain the spill. The supervisor contacted me at 3:30pm to report the spill. When I arrived at 4:45 pm we set up pumps to remediate the spill, I then contacted DWQ at around 5:10 pm and reported the spill. 2) We pumped all the waste from our containment back on the spray field (pull 10a 10b). We built up our containment berm to capture any subsequent runoff which may occur overnight and for removal the following morning. 3) During the night (6/29/2010) we received 1.2" of rainfall that washed more waste out of the fields and overran our containments. 4) The following morning we again started remediation efforts and reconstructed our dams. then made contact with DWQ and reported that the spill had entered the side ditch and flowed down beside state road 1206. 1 also contacted a contractor to help with the recovery efforts. 5) It was determined to Uock off the road ditch and remediate the waters along the highway. After building dams along the road we began hauling water back to the lagoon using two 6 thousand gallon tankers a 3200 gallon field tanker. We also brought in two high capacity pumping units with lay flat hose to pump water back to the farms lagoon. 6) Murphy brown invested over 540 man hours in efforts to recover all of the effluent that left the field. In our efforts we hauled 600,000 gallons of water and pumped over 1,200,000 gallons of water back to the lagoon. 7) Remediation from the road ditch continued until 3pm on Friday 7/2/2010 at which time all visibfe effluent from the ditch had been removed. At this time the containments in the road ditch were removed as mutually agreed to by Murphy Brown and DWQ. 8) Temporary containments which had been built on Murphy -Brown property were left in place and remediation continued until Tuesday 71612010. 9) Root Cause: Irrigating on saturated soils, contrary to the company's instructions and training protocols. • Page 2 Estimate of the discharge: July 7, 2010 A) The irrigation events in question started at 10:50 am and were ended at 3:03 pm. B) Our best estimation is that approximately 15,000 gallons left the spray field. Through our recovery methods we feel that 100% of the effluent was recovered. The plan to correct the problem identified from this accidental discharge is to: 1)As part of our EMS training we will reemphasize to our group the need to identify saturated soils and not pump on them. 2)Evaluate the site for proper drainage and install flow control structures where necessary. Included with this letter is a copy of the most current waste analysis a copy of the notice of discharge as required by the permit. I have outlined in this report all available information related to this accidental discharge incident. Murphy -Brown has dealt with this incident in a timely, appropriate and responsible manner, in accordance with the emergency response protocol outlined in our Environmental Management System (EMS) and with the farm's state operating permit. If I can be of any further assistance, please feel free to contact me.

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 the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. 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. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. 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 DWQ regulations. 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. 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 not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. 1 of 8 This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

The farm should produce adequate plant available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above. The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen. In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results_ CROP CODE LEGEND Crop Code Crop Lbs N utilized / unit yield A Barley 1.6 lbs N /. bushel B Hybrid Bermudagrass - Grazed 50 lbs N 1 ton C Hybrid Bermudagrass - Hay 50 lbs N 1 ton D Corn - Grain 1.25 lbs N / bushel E Corn - Silage 12 lbs N 1 ton F Cotton 0.12 lbs N I lbs lint G Fescue- Grazed 50 lbs N 1 ton H Fescue - Hay 50 lbs N 1 ton I Oats 1.3 lbs N 1 bushel J Rye 2.4 lbs N 1 bushel K Small Grain - Grazed 50 lbs N / acre L Small Grain - Hay 50 lbs N / acre M Grain Sorghum 2.5 lbs N 1 cwt N Wheat 2.4 lbs N / bushel O Soybean 4.0 lbs N 1 bushel P Pine Trees 40 lbs N / acre / yr Acres shown in the preceding table 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. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. 4of8 SLUDGE APPLICATION: The following table describes the annual nitrogen accumulation rate per animal in the lagoon sludge Farm Specifications PAN/ danimal Farm Total r Farrow to Wean 0.84 1200 Farrow to Feeder 1 1200 Farrow to Finish 4A Wean to Feeder 0.072 Feeder to Finish 0.36 The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 1200 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 6000 pounds of plant available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 20 acreas of land. if you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 4B acres of land. Please note that these are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal. 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. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. "This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for >180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste. 5 of 8 Application Rate Guide The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

Any discharge of waste which 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 Utilization flan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, recievinq 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}. 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 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. 8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 1 of 3 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 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 fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Wastelnutrient 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. 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 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer than 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 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. 2of3 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 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 for 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 soil 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 a minimum of five years. 23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. 3 of 3 Murphy -Brown, LLC 10/18/2004 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN Grower(s): Murphy -Brown, LLC Farm Name: 130C # 35 County: Pender Farm Capacity: Farrow to Wean Farrow to Feeder 1200 Farrow to Finish Wean to Feeder Feeder to Finish Storage Structure: Anaerobic Lagoon Storage Period: >180 days Application Method: Irrigation 2822 Hwy 24 West P.O. Box 856 Warsaw, NC 28398 The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be -used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. 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. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less -than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. 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 DWO regulations. 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. 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 not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. 1 of a This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

The farm should produce adequate plant available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above. The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen. In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. 4 of 8 SLUDGE APPLICATION: The following table describes the annual nitrogen accumulation rate per animal in the lagoon sludge Farm Specifications PANT/animal Farm Total/yr Farrow to Wean 0.84 1200 Farrow to Feeder 1 1200 Farrow to Finish 4.1 Wean to Feeder 0.072 Feeder to Finish 0.36 The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 1200 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 6000 pounds of plant available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 20 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 48 acres of land. Please note that these are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal. 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. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. 'This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for >180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste. 5of8 Application Rate Guide The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

Any discharge of waste which 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 Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, recievinq crop type, or available land. 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). 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 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. 8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 1 of 3 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 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 fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 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 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer than 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 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. 2of3 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 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 for 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 80 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 soil 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 a minimum of five years. 23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. 3of3 BOC Spray #313 5 Fields Scale: 1 "=300' Pull# Acres 1 —.68 2 4.15 3 3.34 4A 5.19 4B 5.98 5A 5.37 5B 5.78 6 A 4.89 6B 5.86 7A 3.77 7B 3.79 8A 3.77 8B 4.97 9A 2.31 9B 5.03 10A 0.58 108 5.31 11 3.76 12 2.51 Total 79.04 MB00107030179 #3135 Spray Fie -Ids Sccle: 1"=300' Pull# Acres 1 2.68 2 4.15 3 3.34 4A 5.19 4B 5.98 5A 5.37 5B 5.78 6A 4.89 6B 5.86 7A 3.77 7B 3.79 8A 3.77 8B 4.97 9A 2.31 9B 5.03 10A 0.58 10B 5.31 11 3.76 1') 0 r,1 Well — w/100' m, KI 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.

Regards, Todd Rowe, CCA Agronomist Murphy -Brown, LLC 41 CAWMP AMENDMENT Farm 3135 6/20/03 This amendment is intended to provide additional Nitrogen to the corn crop. Tissue analysis was conducted on the corn crop on June 10, 2003. The results of this analysis indicated the plants to be low in Nitrogen. Upon evaluation of the tissue sample results and the crop that is planted, it is found that additional Nitrogen is required for the corn crop. The additional Nitrogen is mainly due to the wet weather conditions that have been seen so far this growing season. Several processes have caused Nitrogen to be lost from the soil and restricted uptake by the plant. This additional Nitrogen is for supplementation of the required PAN in the waste management plan.

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 the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. 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. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. 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 DWQ regulations. 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. 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 not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. 1 of 8 41 B00119220924 I „ 4 This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for speck crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

The farm should produce adequate plant available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above. The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen. In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. 4of8 B00119220928 SLUDGE APPLICATION: The following table describes the annual nitrogen accumulation rate per animal in the lagoon sludge Farm Specifications PAN/ /animal Farm Total/ Farrow to Wean 0.84 1200 Farrow to Feeder 1 1200 Farrow to Finish 4.1 Wean to Feeder 0.072 Feeder to Finish 0.36 The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 1200 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 6000 pounds of plant avaiiabte-nitrogen,to utilize: -Assuming -you -apply this -PAN -to hybrid-bermuda-grass haytand'at-the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 20 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 48 acres of land. Please note that these are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal. 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. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. 'This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for >180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste. 5of8 B00119220929 Application Rate Guide The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

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 the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. 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. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. 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 DWQ regulations. Page: 1 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. 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 not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR ( gallons, ft3, tors, etc.): 1200 animals X 4,015 gal/animallyear = 4,818,000 gallons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN PRODUCED PER YEAR (Ibs): 1200 animals X 6.50 lbs/animal/year = 7,800.00 Ibs Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.

A positive number means additional acreage is required to utilize the nitrogen produced by the farm. NOTE: This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above. The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen. In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen Page: 3 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 the time small grain is planted in the fall. The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results. The following legend explains the crop codes listed in the table above: Crop ode CLO-122 Lbs N utilized 1 unit field A Barley 1.6 lbs N I bushel B Hybrid Bermudagrass - Grazed 50 lbs N / ton C Hybrid Bermudagrass - Hay 50 lbs N / ton D Corn - Grain 1.25 lbs N / bushel E Corn - Silage 12 lbs N / ton F Cotton 0.12 lbs N./ lbs lint G Fescue - Grazed 50 ibs N I ton H Fescue - Hay . 50 lbs N / ton I Oats 1.3 lbs N / bushel J Rye 2.4 lbs N / bushel K Small Grain - Grazed 100 lbs N / acre L Small Grain - Hay 133 lbs N 1 acre M Grain Sorghum 2.5 lbs N I cwt N Wheat 2.4 lbs N / bushel O Soybean 4.0 lbs N / bushel Acres shown in the preceding table 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. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 1 pounds of plant available nitrogen per animal per year in the Page: 4 sludge based on the application method listed earlier. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 6000.00 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 20.00 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will nee 48.00 acres of land. Please be aware that,these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and applications. 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. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

In many situations, the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the -volume of the waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of Page: 5 freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsiability of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste. Additional Comments: *K is summer annual such as sorghum-sudan hybrids millet, etc. for summer grazing. Fields 3, 4, 5 can be overseeded in the winter for grazing at a rate of 50 lbs N/ac if grower wishes. It is not required to meet the N production from the animals. �i�.Gr1 .t-1�✓ ✓✓t�lr2.� �1''h..J� r �' c-r-� �-.:/�j,G .•eel % f U Page: 6 NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PLAN CERTIFICATION Name of Farm: Owner/Manager Agreement: I/we understand and will follow and implement the specifications and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste nutrient management plan for the farm named above.

DESIGNED BY: �'"�'�^� APPROVED BY:-: DATE. f2-�d 'Gf� DATE: NOTE: SEE ATTACHED WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN COMMENTS: System Calibration Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates chance over time as equipment ge-s older and components wear. In particular, pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use, nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter. You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the application uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application uniformity. For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every Three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used provided the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring. For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly throughout the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both sides of the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for all nonuniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation dealer or technical specialist for assistance. *Aerrirued for Ceniiication Training for Operations of Animal waste M.anagemenr Systems Manual OPERATION & NLAX TENANTCE PLA2N, Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority. It is especially important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and wet periods. Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the receiving crop is dormant (such as winter'-irne for berm dagrass) or when there are ed extendrainy spells such as the thunderstorm, season in the summertime. This means that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winterlearly spring, irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as Ion; as the weather and waste utilization plan will allow it. Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to irrigate does not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods. Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of state law and subject to penalty action. The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following: iMaintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam. Fescue or common bermuda,rass are the most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be fendlized each year, if needed, to maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of ferilizer applied should be based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or equivalent. Brtsh and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be done by mowing. spraving, grazing, chopping, or a combination of these practices. This should be done at least once a year and possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for heavy vegetative growth. NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating the waste. Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be checked should include, as a minimum, the following: Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes ---look for: 1. separation of joints 2. cracks or breaks 3. accumulation of salts or minerals 4, overall condition of pipes Lagoon surface ---look for: 1. undesirable vegetative growth 2. floating or lodged debris Embankment ---look for: 1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes 2. side slope stability ---slumps or bulges 3. wet or damp areas on the back slope A erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action 5.. rodent damage Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam_ A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the lagoon may be used to reduce the wave impacts. Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your lagoon has any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design -and constraction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a threat of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless recommended by an appropriate technical expert. Transfer Pumps ---check for proper operation of: 1. recycling pumps 2. irrigation pumps Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or replacement. NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your pumping system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some safetv time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full, your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare Parts or pumps. Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parking lot runof) away from your lagoon and other waste treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be corning from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing (washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly. You should inspect your diversion system for the following: 1. adequate vegetation 2. diversion capacity 3. ridge berm height Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts. You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then record the level again = to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a cer-Lain rainfall amount (you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should 'help in planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the lagoon from the surrounding land. Lagoon Operation Startup: 1. immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil surfaces to avoid erosion. 2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least halt full of water before waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes. 3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of the lining. 4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather). 5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon liquid volume. This seeding should occour at least two weeks prior to the addition of wastewater. 6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below 7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid pH is between 7.5 and 8.0. 7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm season. Loading: The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained and recharged each day, also work well. Practice water conservation ---minimize building water usage and spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenance and water conservation. Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon Management: Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and the full temporary storage level. Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1). Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarlv, irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon' storage for the winter. The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than I foot to the lowest point of the dam -or embankment. Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage level unless you are removing sludge. Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible. Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation, molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon. Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or wherever they are installed. Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control near lagoon edges. Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon darn or embankment. Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is full or before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume. If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a pollutant discharge. Sludge Removal: Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by: proper lagoon sizing, mechanical solids separation of flushed waste, gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or minimizing feed wastage and spillage. Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will: have more nutrients, have more odor, and require more land to properly use the nutrients. Removal techniques: Hire a custom applicator. Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland; and soil incorporate_ Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.- . Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with drazline or sludge barge; berm an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate. Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3. When removing sludge. you must also pay attention to the liner, to prevent damage. Close attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be removed without liner injury. if the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as possible. Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus and metal levels; as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphores, it should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus: As with other wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value. The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site. Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which could increase the concern of neighbors. Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure Lag failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the darn. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to lagoon failures include: Modification of the lagoon structure ---an example is the placement of a pipe in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams.) Lagoon liquid levels ---high levels are a safety risk. Failure to inspect and maintain the dam. Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon. Liner integrity ---protect from inlet pipe scouring, damage during 'sludge removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater table. NOTE: If lajoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon cause gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a' large discharge of wastewater and possible dam failure. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN ------------------------------ This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) with min. odor control. The time required for the planned fluid level to be reached (permanent } temporary storage) may vary due to soil conditions flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. The designed 6 months temporary storage is an estimated volume based on: 1) waste from animals; 2) excess rainfall after evaporation; and 3) the largest 24 hour (one day) rainfall that occurs on the average of once every 25 years. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year. This estimate is based on 7 inches of excess rainfall which is equal to or exceeds the highest 6 months excess in a year. The average annual excess rainfall is approximately 8 inches. Therefore, an average of 8 inches of excess rainfall will need to be pumped each year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available. A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from building(s). If the outlet pipe is not installed on the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed on this elevation to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain minimum treatment depth (6 feet). Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without runoff or leaching. 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 damage,�_o crops. The following items are to be carried out: 1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre - charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete, flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after initial filling. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment) before land application. 3. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva- tion 47.3 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches elevation 45.3 or before the fluid depth is less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable bacteria). The design temporary storage, less 25 year storm is 228418 cubic feet or 1708565 gallons. As stated before, this volume will vary considerably from year to year. 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. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 f-eet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well. 9. 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. SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS ---------------------------------------------------------- Clearing: All trees and brush shall be removed from the construction area before any excavating or fill is started. Stumps will be removed within the area of the foundation of the embankment and fill areas and all excavated areas. All stumps and roots exceeding one (1) inch in diameter shall be removed to a minimum depth of one (1) foot. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly before placement of embankment material. Lagoon site (and pad site if needed) to be stripped of topsoil (311) and stockpiled for use on dike and pad slopes (2-311). The topsoiling quantity is in excess of amounts specified on page one (1). Cut-off Trench: --------------- A cut-off trench (when specified) shall be installed as shown in the plans. Construction: ------------- Construction of excavated and earthfill areas shall be performed to the neat lines and grades as planned. Deviations from this will require prior approval of the SCS. Earthfill shall be placed in max. of 6" lifts and not placed in standing water. Compaction shall be performed by the construction equipment or sheeps-foot roller during placement. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials. Construction of fill heights shall include ten (10) percent for settlement. To protect against seepage, when areas of unsuitable materre encountered, they will need to be excavated a minimum of 400t below grade and backf illed and compacted with a SCS approved material (ie-CL,SC,CH). Refer to the soil investigation information in the plans for special considerations. Precautions should be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. Vegetation: All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to -the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construction according to seeding specifications sheet.

This plan discuses the required actions and avaNA means of.maintaining the structural integrity of the rnpour bneids, and furrther reacift the additional T inches of operational tr" freeboard as spedffed in the General Pemut far these fades itaauoh Intensified face ty management. 1, Accurate Liquid gavel Measurernents. A simple, but nary, step Is to ensure that oquld revels are being ac cxnwety measured to prevent overestimating or umdemstirnaft the current liquid level for each lagoon. This process Includes verifying the eleyaftis of the staff gauges with the actual top or a affa n for each mwmnt w a wn Ord fteww ot hsman to inches. 2. Solt Moisture Condition Analysis. The fastest and most effidert way of lowering the' liquid levels is to use the spray irrigation systems designed for these fadtifies for wastewater effluent application. The main constraint on operating these systems to their design capability the past 2-3 weeks has been a problem of hydrology. The recent snow .and nightly fieezhrg conditions has left most application fields, as specified In .the waste management plan 'for•each facility, at soil moisture levels above field mndi lorL To prevent rur-odf and sty perform effluent applications at every available opportunity, the environmental management staff, including our staff Crop Specialist and Technical Speciaiist, are assisting our field -personnel with moisture condition. This also Includes maidng frequent, micro -applications (Q-25' appiications) with our edstirrg Ikon equipment to reduce surface infiiiration impacts associated with heavier appllcations. 3. Intensified Fresh Water Conservation. The Production Staff at Brown's of Carolina has adopted an Emergency Fresh Water Conservation Plan which outlines steps to be taken to reduce fresh water usage on our facilities. This includes reduced senitation.pract€ces. Although this compromises the biosecuriiiy of the facilities, It is a method of reducing liquid Input into the Impoundments. In addition, as further means of policing Influent amounts. fiesta water usage Is measured daily on afl facilities operating with less than 19 inches of freeboard. 0 Page 1 s 4. Evaluation of Alternative Effluent Storage. An krmxiate sirort tarn aid for some farms may be to obtain aW banal effluent storage W# in the fac ty, Itsal€ An emmpie would be to make sure that the owdlows for each pul-jft %olty are sat tD the coned ekwation. A few f w*M of storage may be obtained In some pits In this mariner. Also, the possibility exists in lempomft converting some flush barns to pit -recharge to pain addtional stomas capacity. 5.

As many of the pedcaJauly well drafted. or 'tiddW soii-typa hydrants are approaching the appkatlon goal of pant available nilrvgen (PAN) due to the postftoyd intgation everds, fl may be necessary. on some sites, to obtain additional application land via a Nutrient Management. (Nk" addendum. Appfrtafion of effluent to these receiving sites may require the installation of additional Irrigation egdpnerd, sup*Anes. and operatioog personnel. It may also mqulre the fmplernentation of *pump and haul. In either case, effluent will be app wd to these application fields at agronomic rates and as specified in the addendum_ of the NMP for these sites, created by a certified Technical Spedalist- As always, Brown's of Carolina Is committed to the corrg iFant operation of aft it's fades.

On Jmgust 24, 2000 Mr. Mathis performed an inspection at the above mentioned farm. At that time, tlhc only ixhtractions to be found were the two PAN over applications that occurred on the 1999-2000 wheat creep hrcd a couple of application events 1kit exree" l "Ac/mrhl. The amounts of PAN over appliG:laons mere 16 and 19 Ibslac respeciivcly. These overages were due to Brown's of Carolina staff in-,inag ng the excessive amounts of water received from the hurricanes and the extremely wet winter that follower is The must environmentally sound inaimer possible. Thai is, irrigation events were made on the "higlhest" and "driest" application sires to avoid runoff or discharges. In re:,aards to the applications exceeding 1 Vaclevent, the ring size in the gun on the traveler has bc.n clanged to tlio smaller Sine and the travel speed iris been increased. This will not only decrease the flow mzc, but .ilso decraase Ilhc total applicatlon amount per event. As fcr [lie "low wet am s" in the application Fields, plans for re -grading and rye-skaping these areas %ere discussed with Mr. Mathis al the time of inspection. Mr. Mathis was informed that as soon as Ilie coelrlctor completed [Tic grading work at another BOC farm, he would be starting at this ratan. The wct we,a lker a:id field conditions are currently delaying the start of this project. Also, during lids inspection, as well as the following inspection perforned on August 29, 2000, much dismission occurred in ri.ference: to the availability of irrigation equipment and labor at this faun. It W.Is Stetted than. cquipuzent and labor was shared between this facility and others. However, just because q uipm ,w anti labor is shared between facilities does not mean tivit (here is inadequate equipmeEt and labor to melnage tltcsc facilities. 'rhe i aspeaion on August 28, 2000 was an unscheduled inspection by Mr. Mathis to observe alit effects C+f 0)a riin events that occurred after the inspection on August 24, 2000. At Ibis time the frecboird i n the Lagoon lead risen to 17.5" and Mr. Mathis called to let me know of his observation and that a Notice of Violation would be Sent, lmntedkitely niter receiving this inronnation a 30 Day Plan of Action was sent to [lee Wilmington Regional ice.

This problem has been fted and new water mciers have been installed to better manage the water uk%W at this fang. The problem wish fresh water and the rains that followed the previous inspection caused the Iagooa Ievel to rise into the noncompliant frooboard stage, not an inadequge supply of irrigation equipment and labor, as Mr. Mathis would like for you to believe. It is coincidental that these dings occurred simuIlancously, thus appearing I give credibility to Mr. Malhis's statement about inadequate cquipur+cr t. Although this facility is currently being considered for a solid set irrigation system4 additional travelam have bcA n purchased ttnd are available for use at this facility. Brown's of Carolina recognizes that the over applications and high frmuboard are noncompliant with IN, permi.t. However, 130C staft'have continued to manage the cacess water from nature and from mcchatuical pmblcros without failure of tlic structure, runoff or discharge.

Sinmely, Kevin Weston Environmental Compliance MarIager cc: Grq, Brown Cats Sinlimons r7 _ 5- �ECEIVEID JUN 2 6 2000 June 16, 2000 Dear Rick Shiver: The purpose of this letter is to notify DWQ regarding specific PAN application rates associated with the unprecedented rainfall events of last summer and early fall. We now have completed a review of this issue by _____________ examining the_ CAWMP' s_ and _associate_ d land_ application records . for _ all company owned farms. Based on that review, no land application records have been changed, but we have corrected all of our computer printouts to reflect actual pounds of PAN as applied, without any "rollover" into subsequent crop periods. Attached is a list of all hydrants on our company owned farms that operate within the Wilmington Regional Office. This means that our records accurately show a number of instances where land application practices were carried out in excess of specified PAN rates in order to preserve lagoon integrity and properly manage water levels that occurred as a result of multiple rainfall events in excess of the regulatory 25-year, 24-hour storm event. In carrying out land application practices last fall and winter, and on into the spring of this year, all practicable measures were taken to minimize and prevent over - application of PAN, and to prevent surface water runoff. Our consistent policy was to use the "highest and driest" fields to draw down high lagoon levels that were caused by the unprecedented string of rains we had in excess of the 25-year, 24-hour storm level. Company farm lagoon levels before these storms generally were in very good shape, thus documenting good farm management and winter season preparedness. In addition to initial land application practices designed to protect lagoon integrity, much of the excess water volumes that resulted from these multiple storms in excess of the 25-year, 24-hour storm level remained in lagoons throughout the winter of 1999 and into the spring of this year. We ask that DWQ take these factors into account and determine that, where farms properly had prepared last summer, that no enforcement action be taken for excess PAN applications made as a result of these storms. Should you have any questions or desire to meet to discuss the information in this letter, please give me a call. offs Simmons Director of Environmental Affairs & Engineering Services BROWN'S OF CAROLINA, INC. 785 HWY 24 EAST • P.O.

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. IRRI, IRR2, DRY], 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.

LSEP2 p Cuuu September 19, 2000 Mr. Rick Shiver Water Quality Regional Supervisor N C Dept of Environment and Natural Resources 127 North Cardinal Dr. Wilmington, NC 28405 Dear Mr. Shiver, This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement letter for BOC #35 dated September 6, 2000. The following will serve as both a Plan of Action and an explanation for the noted violations. On August 24, 2000 Mr. Mathis performed an inspection at the above mentioned farm. At that time, the only infractions to be found were the two PAN over applications that occurred on the 1999-2000 wheat crop and a couple of application events that exceeded 1 "/ac/event. The amounts of PAN over applications were 16 and 191bs/ac respectively. These overages were due to Brown's of Carolina staff managing the excessive amounts of water received from the hurricanes and the extremely wet winter that followed in the most environmentally sound manner possible. That is, irrigation events were made on the "highest" and "driest" application sites to avoid runoff or discharges. In regards to the applications exceeding 1 "/actevent, the ring size in the gun on the traveler has been changed to the smaller size and the travel speed has been increased. This will not only decrease the flow rate, but also decrease the total application amount per event. As for the "low wet areas" in the application fields, plans for re -grading and re -shaping these areas were discussed with Mr. Mathis at the time of inspection. Mr. Mathis was informed that as soon as the contractor completed the grading work at another BOC farm, he would be starting at this farm. The wet weather and field conditions are currently delaying the start of this project. Also, during this inspection, as well as the following inspection performed on August 28, 2000, much discussion occurred in reference to the availability of irrigation equipment and labor at this farm. It was stated that equipment and labor was shared between this facility and others. However, just because equipment and labor is shared between facilities does not mean that there is inadequate equipment and labor to manage these facilities. The inspection on August 28, 2000 was an unscheduled inspection by Mr. Mathis to observe the effects of the rain events that occurred after the inspection on August 24, 2000. At this time the freeboard in the lagoon had risen to 17.5" and Mr. Mathis called to let me know of his observation and that a Notice of Violation would be sent. Immediately after receiving this information a 30 Day Plan of Action was sent to the Wilmington Regional Office. Upon investigation into why the lagoon had risen so fast, it was BROWN'S OF CAROLINA, INC. 785 HWY 24 EAST - P.O. SOX 487 - WARSAW, N.C. 28398 - PHONE (910) 296-1800 discovered that there was a problem with fresh water usage inside the barns. This problem has been fixed and new water meters have been installed to better manage the water usage at this farm. The problem with fresh water and the rains that followed the previous inspection caused the lagoon level to rise into the noncompliant freeboard stage, not an inadequate supply of irrigation equipment and labor, as Mr. Mathis would like for you to believe. It is coincidental that these things occurred simultaneously, thus appearing to give credibility to Mr. Mathis's statement about inadequate equipment. Although this facility is currently being considered for a solid set irrigation system, additional travelers have been purchased and are available for use at this facility. Brown's of Carolina recognizes that the over applications and high freeboard are noncompliant with the permit. However, BOC staff have continued to manage the excess water from nature and from mechanical problems without failure of the structure, runoff or discharge. Since no measurable harm to the environment has occurred, no enforcement action should be taken. If you have any questions or. need additional information concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to call me at (910) 2%-1800 ext. 238.

It was observed that the lagoon had insufficient freeboard. In addition, nitrogen was applied in excess of the recommended rates for small grain crops in spray field #3. The level of the waste lagoon must to be lowered and maintained in accordance with the NRCS guidelines and the state 2H .0200 rules governing animal waste management systems. Nitrogen should be applied at rates consistent with those listed for each in the waste utilization plan. The narrative section of the waste utilization plan should be amended to specify which crops are to be grown on the excess acreage of spray field #4 and the • rates at which waste is to be applied on those'crops. Waste application on the excess acreage of field #4 should be discontinued until the corrections are made. In addition, animal carcasses should be disposed of properly as required by the State Office of the Veterinarian. Bare areas on the lagoon dike wall should be re- seeded. The coastal bermuda crop in spray field #5 should be improved in the spring of 1998. We suggest that you contact your service company, local NRCS or Soil and Water District office for any assistance they may be able to provide to correct the situation. To remain a deemed permitted facility, you must notify this office in writing within fourteen (14) days of the receipt of this notice, what actions will be taken to comply with your waste management plan. Failure to do so may result in the facility losing it's deemed permitted status, requiring it to obtain an individual non discharge permit. 127 North Cardinal Dr., Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 Telephone 910-395-3900 FAX 910-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Mack Horrell March 20, 1998 Page 2.

Preston Howard, Jr., P.E., Director February 17, 1994 Mac Horrell 329 West Stevens Wallace NC 28466 Dear Mr. Horrell: This is to inform you that your completed registration form required by the recently modified nondischarge rule has been received by the Division of Environmental Management (DEM), Water Quality Section. On December 10, 1992 the Environmental Management Commission adopted a water quality rule which governs animal waste management systems. The goal of the rule is for animal operations to be managed such that animal waste is not discharged to surface waters of the state. The rule allows animal waste systems to be "deemed permitted" if certain minimum criteria are met (15A NCAC 2H .0217). By submitting this registration you have met one of the criteria for being deemed permitted. We would like to remind you that existing feedlots which meet the size thresholds listed in the rule, and any new or expanded feedlots constructed between February 1, 1993 and December 31, I993 must submit a signed certification form (copy enclosed) to DEM by December 31, 1997. New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31, 1993 must obtain signed certification before animals are stocked on the farm. Certification of an approved animal waste management plan can be obtained after the Soil and Water Conservation Commission adopts rules later this year. We appreciate you providing us with this information. If you have any question about the new nondischarge rule, please contact David Harding at (919) 733-5083. enc: Sincerely, -a4f� / -n Steve Tedder, Chief /` Water Quality Section P.O.
