FOR THE
continued operation and maintenance of an animal waste management system for the Fennell Brothers
Farm # 1, located in Pender County, consisting of zero (0) Swine and the application to land as specified
in the Facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until November 30, 2014 and shall be subject to
the following specified conditions and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The animal waste management system operated under this Permit shall be effectively
maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent the discharge of pollutants
to surface waters, wetlands, or ditches. Application of waste to terraces and grassed
waterways is acceptable as long as it is applied in accordance with Natural Resources
Conservation Service (MRCS) Standards and does not result in a discharge of waste to
surface waters, wetlands, or ditches. If the Facility has a discharge of waste that reaches
surface waters or wetlands resulting from a storm event more severe than a 25-year, 24-
hour storm, it will not be considered to be in violation of this Permit, as long as the
Facility is in compliance with its CAWMP and this Permit.
2: No discharge of waste shall result in a violation of the water quality standards established
for receiving waters as per Title 15A, Subchapter 2B, Section .0200 of the North Carolina
Administrative Code (NCAC) and Title 15A, Subchapter 2L of the NCAC_
The facility's CAWMP is hereby incorporated by reference into this Permit. The
CAWMP must be consistent with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances, and standards
(federal, state and local) in effect at the time of siting, design, and certification of the
Facility.
4. Any proposed increase or modification to the annual average that exceeds the thresholds
set by North Carolina General Statues (NCGS) 143-215.1OB(1) will require a
modification to the CAWMP and the Permit prior to modification of the Facility.

Animal waste shall not be applied within one hundred (100) feet of any well, with the
exception of monitoring wells. The allowable distance to monitoring wells shall be
established on a case -by -case basis by the Division.

Soil pH on all land application fields must be maintained in the optimum range for crop
production.
4. Land application rates shall be in accordance with the CAWMP. In no case shall land
application rates exceed the agronomic rate of the nutrient of concern for the receiving
crop. In no case shall land application rates result in excessive ponding or any runoff
during any given application event.
If manure or sludges are applied on conventionally tilled, bare soil, the waste shall be
incorporated into the soil within two (2) days after application on the land. This
requirement does not apply to no -till fields, pastures, or fields where crops are actively

Todd,
Here is the information conceming Fennell Brothers Farm #1. They would like to consider the lagoon closed.
From previous inspection reports it appears that hogs were present in 2005, but inspection reports for 2006
show 0 for current population. There was sludge removal in December 2004.

Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Pender County
Dear Vernon Fennell:
On April 28, 2003, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the
Division of Water Quality (Division) to extend the expiration date of the Swine Waste Operation General
Permit AWG100000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the
expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with
all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit.
In accordance with your application received on January 24, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of
Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Vernon
Fennell, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The issuance of this COC
supersedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS710061 which expired on April 30, 2003.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Fennell Brothers Farm #1, located in Pender County, with an animal capacity of
no greater than an annual average of 390 Feeder to Finish swine and the application to land as specified
in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or
Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary,
they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a
rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The CCC shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 1, 2004. Pursuant to this. COC, you
are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this
facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and
this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property. *7

TYPE OPERATION: Feeder to Finish
NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 390
(Design Capacity)
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface 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_ Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are
important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange ;
capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shalt not be applied to land
eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precaptions, waste may be
I
applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it
is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to
surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be
considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems_ To maximize the value of nutrients for
crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a
growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the
waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for
this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from
your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application.
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
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 waste, he/she shall provide a copy 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 facility to
secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation,
increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3 Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop
yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level
of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application 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 that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per
year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG
Standard 393 - Filter Strip).
5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation held.
6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated
on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland,
the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season
prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.)
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 or flies.
Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.
Page 5

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 Waste nutrients 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 from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal
waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be
applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other thaq 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 wetlands
provided they 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 courses no runoff or drift from the site.
16 Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall
not be discharged into the animal waste management system.

17 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.
18 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.
19 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 propellant with no further applications animal waste
during the crop season.
20 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.
21 Waste shall be tested within 69 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually
at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining
element: Zinc and. coppe!#evels in the soil shall be monitored and aitemative crop sites
shall be used when these metar,approach excessive levels, pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.
22 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Fennell Brothers Farm #1
Permit Number: AWS710061
Pender County
In accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1OG, all animal operations who receive an animal
waste management system permit will be charged in each year of the term an annual permit fee. Annual permit fees are
billed following the issuance of the permit and then annually thereafter on the anniversary of that date. Your animal waste
management system permit was issued on 8/25/1999.
Your annual permit fee for the period of 8/25/2000 - 8/24/2001 is $50.00. Your payment was due 10/6/2000.
Because this fee was not fully paid within 30 days after being billed, this letter initiates action to revoke the subject permit,
pursuant to 15 NCAC 2H .0205 (c) (4). and G.S. 143-215.1 (b) (3).
Effective 60 days from receipt of this notice, the subject permit is hereby revoked unless the required Annual
Animal Waste Management System Permit fee for your animal operation is received within that time. Operation of an
animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and is
subject to the assessment of a civil penalty of up to $10,000 per day. Your payment should be sent to:

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: VERNON FENNELL
Location: 800 LITTLE KELLYRD
SURGAW NC 28435
Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: Existing Feeder to Finish Swine
Number of Animals: 390.00 hogs
(Design Capacity)
STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon
APPLICATION METHOD: Irrigation
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 DWQ regulations.
Page: 1

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management 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, tons, etc.)
390 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 741 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
390 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 897 lbs. PAN/year
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.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

ANIMAL WASTE IITILIZATION PLAN
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 rate prior to applying the waste.
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
THIS IS A 2 YEAR ROTATION WITH THE CROPS ALTERNATED BETWEEN
THE FIELDS. THIS PLAN WAS DONE BY USING 75% OF THE AVAILABLE
LAND ACREAGE, WHICH WAS REQUESTED BY DWQ.
Page: 8

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
*** This number must be less than or equal to 0 in order to fully
utilize the animal waste N produced.
Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than
the acres shown in the tables.
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 144.3 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 721.5
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 2.405 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 5.772'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 application
methods.
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 Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and

* 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 180.00 days of temporary storage and
the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every
6.00 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be 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 Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may
make this plan invalid.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by
runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or
direct discharge during operation or land application. Any
discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2. 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 waste, he/she shall
provide a copy 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
facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when
there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of
animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the
nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type,
available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict
the rate of application 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 that is eroding
at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year
providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves
the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip)
S. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after
waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is
danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6. when animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to
flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled
cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or
grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application
does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather
and Climate in North Carolina" 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 or flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such
a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that
would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal
waste should also be considered.
Page: 9

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for
spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for
leaching. Waste nutrient 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 from any perennial stream or river (other
than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than
swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995),
shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters.
(See Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to
wells.
13_ Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of
dwellings other than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property
and public right--of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters,
drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying.
Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided
they have been approved as a land application site by a
"technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on
grassed waterways that discharges 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.
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.
Page: 10

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or
terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and
implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should
be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks,
and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on
site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables
and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if
animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it
should only be applied preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible 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 Go days of utilization and soil
shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste
products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining
element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be
monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these
metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste
analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry
waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. waste application records for all other waste shall be
maintained for five (5) years.

August 25, 1999
Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. AWS710061
Fennell Brothers Farm #1
Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Pender County
In accordance with your application received on April 12, 1999, we are forwarding this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Vernon Fennell, authorizing the operation of the subject animal
waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit
AWG100000. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to,
the management of animal waste from the Fennell Brothers Farm #1, located in Pender County, with an
animal capacity of no greater than 390 Feeder to Finish and the application to land as specified in the
Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until April 30, 2003. Pursuant to this COC,
you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations
as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC, with no discharge of wastes to
surface waters. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and
operational information must be established for this farm. Any increase in waste production greater than

STORAGE STRUCTURE- Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon
A=XCATION METHOD: Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate tc prevent pollution of surface water and/or
groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amcunt of commercial fertilizer required, for the crops
in the fields where the waste i s co be applied.
This waste utilizat_on plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient.
waste should be analyzed before each ap�iicat ion cycle. Annual soil
tests are strongly encouraged sc that a 1 plant nutrients can be
balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing yodr waste utilization
plat, in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to
ensur= 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 nitrogea than the Crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and
av'a_lable wa_er holding capacities.
Normally waste shall be applied tc land eroding at less that
5 tons per acre per year. waste may be applied to land
eroding at 5 or more tens per acre annually, but lese than
10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter
strips are established_
4. i?o nct apply waste on saturated soil s:,when it is raining,
or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions
may result in runoff to surface waters which is not al=owed
under DWQ regulations.

ANIMAL- WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
----------------------------------------------------------------------
5. conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems.
o'. To maximize the value of =he nutrients for crop production
and to reduce the potential for pollut-on, the waste should
be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30
days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking corretancy.
Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown abo;ra. If
you choose to charge methods in the futura, you need to revise this
plan. NutTient Ievals for different applicatior_ 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. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant
analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be a=lied.
Provisions sha'1 ire -nade for the area receiving waste to be flexibly
so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content azzc crop type -
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific
crop production.
This waste utilization plant if carried au,:, meets the requirements

management commiss_cn.
AMOUNT of WASTE PRODUCED PER. YEAR (gallons, tt3, tons, etc.)

Applying the abcve amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and
have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the
crop to he grow, soil type and surface application.

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
cf nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 14?.n pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge_
If. yeti remove the sludge evexy 5 years, you will have approximately 721. 5
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this P.AIT to hybrid
bermudagrase hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of ni-.rocen per acra, you
will reed 2.505 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to Cory: at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, ycu will need 5.772 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only astimatas of the PAN and
land needed. Ac_ual requirements could vary "by 20r depending or" your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application
methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY JRRI3ATi0.NT
The Irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoft or ponding occurs. This
rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil struc=ure, soil
texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The appl_ea.tion amount
should not exceed the availabic water holding capacity of the soil at the
time of _rrigat?on 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,
in is the responsibility oz the producer and irrigation designer tc ensure
that an irriytinn system is installed to properly irrigate. the acres
shown in Tables I and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and

WATER QUALITY SECTION
System Calibration
ISEP 2 A 1995
Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based onNaW4y2"gepei
conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates
change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. in pardcular,
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 irr the:
design will alter the application rate, diameter af- coverage, and subsequently the
applic; Lion 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-. Riugged
intakes or crysallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating
below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application
unit""ormity.
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 measurinc flow at
several locations in the appiication area. Any number of containers can be used to
collect flow and determine the appiication rate. Rain gauges work best because
they alreaay ,have a graduated scale from which to read the appiication arnount
withocrr ;-caving to perform additional calculations However, pans, plastic buckets,
jars, or anything with a uniform opening and crass-se—ction can be used_ provided
the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring.
For staricnary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly
throughoL.7the application area at several distances from sprinklers For traveling
guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction
or pull. Set cur collection containers 25 feet apart along the tr ansect on both
sides of the gun cart: You should compute the average application rate for all
nonumformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers
of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contacr your irrigation
dealer or ,ec.hnical specialist for assistance.

OPERATION & MAiNTEXANCE PLAN
Propm- lagoon Liquid rnanagernmt should be a year-round priority. It is espc: ally
important to manage levels so dLU you do not have problems during extended rainy and
wetperiods_
Maximum storage opacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the -
receiving � is dormant (such as wintertime for bermuda,--sass) or when there are
Ta ect=any sDclils such as the thund.--storm season _m� in the suerrime.. This m
.that: at the arse signs of plant growth iB the late wing/ea-iy sprizf-7 urigatioff ac rrimgbo
a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to
receive iagoorr liquid. This will ma.- storage space available in the lagoon for tr - wet
pexiods Ia the late summer/ezriy III the lagoon should be pumped down to thtlow
marry (see F�4ure 2-1) to allow for winter storage_ Every effort should be made to
matairz the lagoon close to the minimum -liquid level as -Ion- as the weather and waste
utx'Iizatiorr olaa will allow it
Waiting until the lagoon has reached i s maximum: storage capacry before startingto
irxigare does not leave room for stria g excess water during e.�tended wet periods. _
Overflow �rorm the lagoon for any r meson except a 25 year, 2=hour storm is a violation of
state law and subject to peaty z=on.
The routine =� nterance or a lagoon iz-volves the following:
-N-1,--'ntenancw of a veze. =eve cover for the din:_
F _scue or common are the most common vegetative
covers. The vegetation should be fertilize—i each year, if -needed, to
mnmin a- vigorous stand. The amount of fer liz-- applied should be
Lases on a soils 'test, our in the event that it is nor uzctical to obtain
a soils test each year, the moon en.ibankanent and sul--ounding arc`
should be fardlized wit:Z 800 pounds per acre of ? 0-10-10, or
e. uivalent.
3r•�h and trees on the embankment must be con =, Hed. This may be
done by mowing s=vi.ng, glazing, chopping, or a combination of
31
these n�ctices. T-nis should be done at least once a year and
possf6ly twice in years weather conditions are favorable for
heavy vegetative growth.
NOTM IC vegemon is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to e�
the lagoon war--- Such the viols could harm the bact=ia. in the lagoon that are wag
the waste.
Maintenan= insoe~dons of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial, fining of.
theas lagoon and at let monthly and arm major rainfall and storm events. Items to be
checked should i.nciude, as a minimum, the following:
Waste Inlet PiDes, Recvciing Pioes, and Overflow Pipes —look for.
? . separation or Joints
Z cracks or breaks
3. accumulation of salts- or- mine:ais-
overall condition o L nines

Lagoon surface —look for.
? . undeszrabie vegetative growth
2. floating or lodged debris
Embankment —look for.
I. settlement, cracidng, or "jug" holes
2. side slope stability —slumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
=. erosion due to laoL- of vegetation or as a result of wave action
5. rodent damage
I.arge-- lagoons may be subject to line: damage- due to wave action caused by strong
winds_ These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon data_
A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action- If
wave action causes serious damage to a boon sidewall, bafr'ies inr the Jagoorr may be
used to reducer the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and wing of the dam_ If your lagoon has
any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and
construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a ternporary -fix if there is a threat:
of a waste discharge. Howeve:; a permanent solution should be reviewed by the
technical e,-pe.-t. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a-serious
and ng with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommend- by an amrovnate technicai expert_
Transfer Pumas —check for proper operation of:
1. recvclin' pumps
2. irrigation pumas
Check for -leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump overation. An unusually loud or ceding
noise, or a a.ge amount of vmmadon, may incuc ate�that the puma is in need or re.—,.� or
reolacernen*
NOTE: Punning systems should be inspected and one=ated.frauently enough so that you_
are not conrpte*.ely "surprised" by ecuipment failure. You should perform yourpumping,
system Fratnrenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low This will allow some
safety time should major repairs be required. Having a,nearly full lagoon is notthe time
to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full,
your -neighbor's lager oon is full also. You should considmaintaining an inventory of scare
parts or pumps.
Surface water diversion features are designed to carry aH surface
drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets;
and parking lot runofr) away from your Lagoon and other waste
waste
tr..trment or storage structures_ The only water that should be
coning from your lagoon is that which comes gym- yourflushing
(washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon, directly.
You should inspevt your diversion system for the following:
I, adeauate•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 prop.-.- solutions, consult with anpropr-ate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then
r=ord the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes these is no pumping). This will
zive you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount
(you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should heir iu
planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may
have an inflow problem from a mxf= water diversion or there may be seepage into the
lagoon from the surrounding land.
Lagoon- Operation
Startup:
1.Immediately after construction establish a comvlere sod cover on bare soil
surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new iagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before
waste loading oe=s, taidng care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
1.
Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a rlexibie pipe extender on the
end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of tine 'lagoon during =1dal
Ellin, or another :-means or slowing the incoming wate. to avoid erosion or
the lining.
4. When possrole, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize
bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather).
5. it is recommend- th= a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
worm, swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the Uh.lag■oon
squid volume. This seeding should occour at least two weeks miorto the
addition or wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid psi. If the pH falls below
7.0, add agricult mi lime at the rare of I pound' pe` 1000 cubic felt of
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.6. Optimum lagoon liquid
pH is between 7.5 and 8.0.
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadernuttr
biological activity. Consultation with a t=hnica: specialist is recommended
it these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm
season. '
._
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the
lagoon will function. Flush systams that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are
optimum for =eatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained
and recharged each day, also work well.

Practice water- conservation ---minimize building waxer usage and
spillage from lealdng waxerers, broken pipes and washdown through
proper maintenance and water conservanon.
minimize feed wastage and spillage by kerning feeders adjusted_ This
will reduce the amount of solids entering the Lagoon
Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent swrage level and
the full temporary storage level.
Place visible madl= 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 stain- based on
nutrient recuirem=rs and soil moisture so that temporary storage
will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm s..ason. Similarly,
i-L.igate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon
storage for the winter.
The la noon liouid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest
,joint or the dam or embankme-m.
Do not ouznp the iazoon uouid level lower that the _,jernanent storage
level unless you areremoving sludge. -
1 ocam floc: pump intakes approximately IS Lnczes underneath the Ezuid
su_-.ace and as i awav from the drainDaDe inles as possible.
Prevent additions of bedding matezials, long -smear ned forage orvege anion,
molded feed, plastic svringes, or other foreign mat..-rials into the lagom-
Frequently remove solids from catch basins az end of confinement houses or
wherever they are installed.
Maintain strict vegemrion, rodent, and varmint cantsol near lagoon edges.
Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam 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
obmining and implemeldng a closure plan to edminat:e the possibility of a
pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:

Proper Iagoon sizing,
mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
gravity settling of rushed waste solids in an anlDropriately designed basin, or
mini ng feed wastage and spillage_ - -
Lagooa sludge that is removed annually rather than stored Iona term will:
have more numenu,
have more odor, and
require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal te: hnicues:
Hire a custom amlicator. -
Nfix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impede:
pump through large -bore sprinkle.• irrigation sys-�.m onto nearby c:apland;
and soil incoroor m.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby croDiand or
aor-ageland; mix remaining sludge; Puma into +iauid sludge avDi.icator; haul
and spread onto cropland or foragel-and; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the umer oa-: of lagoon by uliQadon onto nearby cropland or
forazeland; dIed,'ge sludge from lagoon with dzz. i, e or Sludge baa?e: o=m
an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so tha: licuids can d2ia bans
into lagoon; allow siudge to dewate:, haul and spread with manure mreadei
onto cropiand or forag-and; and soil i.ncorporz-.
Regardless of ne method, you must :nave the sludge material analvzed for waste
constimears just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient and rneral values ��om the dquid. The ap-odcation or me sludge to Welds wiU-be
limited by these nutrients as well as anv previous waste appiicazions to that fleid and mop
requirement_ Waste application rotes wi be discussed in rietaii in Chanter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the line_ to prevent damage. Close
attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains
intact_ If you se-e 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 th-_ liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher Phospnort:s and.h�eavy metal content
than liquid. Be=use or this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus
and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incozDorated to reduce the chance of
erosion. Note that if the sludge is amlied to fields with very high soil -test phosohorm, it:
should be =lied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As wish other
wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The applicaEon of sludge will izc.:a,,.se the amount of odor at the waste application site.
Extra pre_udon should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which
could inc =se the concern of neighbors.

Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failures -result in the =lanned discharge of wastewater from the structure- Types
of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach or the
dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for
ensuring structure safety. ltr= which may lead to lagoon failures include:
Modification of the lagoon structure —an example is the placement of 3plpe
in the dam without prom design and construction- (Consult. an a :pert in
lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams-)
Lagoon liquid Levels —high Ievels.are a safety ask.
Failure to inspect and maimtain the dam_
. Excess surface watt flowing into the lagoon.
Liner integrity —protect from inlerpipe scouring, damage during sludge
removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below gtvundwate<
table.
NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water -will soon ruse
gullies to form, in the dam. Once this damage slurs, it can quickly -cause a large disc=rge
of w=mwat= and possible dam failure.

Producer FQNEIL HmS. F'AEM 1 Facility Number 71-61
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 wintertime for bermuda grass) or when there are
extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This
means that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring,
irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the
land is dry enough to receive lagoon Iquid. This will make storage space available
in the Iagoon for future wet periods. In the late surmmer/early fail the lagoon
should be pumped down to the Iow marker to allow for winter storage. Every effort
should be made to maintain the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as long 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:
Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam. Fescue or common bermuda
grass are the most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be
fertilized each year, if needed, to maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of
fertilizer 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.
Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be done
by mowing, spraying, 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:

Operation & Maintenance Plan
Page -2-
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
4. 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 sidewalIs, 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 construction 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

Operation & Maintenance Plan
Page -3-
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 of 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 safety 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
runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste treatment or storage
structures. The only water that should be coming 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
Practice water conservation --minimize building water usage and
spillage from leaking waterers, "broken pipes and wash down"
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 level.

Operation & Maintenance Plan
Page -4-
* 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. Similarly,
irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon
storage for the winter.
* The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 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 drain pipe 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 dam or
embankment.
* Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage
capacity is full or before it fills SO 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 build up can be reduced by:
* Proper lagoon sizing

Operation & Maintenance Plan
Page -S-
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 dragline 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 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 sludge to fields will be
limited by these nutrients as welt-gs 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

Operation & Management Plan
Page -6-
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 phosphorus is 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.
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 4 to 5 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 certain
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.
Land Operation
Startup:
1. Immediately after construction, establish complete sod cover and
bare soil surfaces to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half 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

Operation & Maintenance Plan
Page -7-
initial filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid
erosion of the lining.
4. When possible, begin Ioading 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
Iagoon liquid volume. This seeding should occur at least two weeks
prior to the addition of wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the Iagoon 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.
Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure.
Types of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overlapping, and
breach of the dam. Assuming proper design and constructor, 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 Iiquid levels --high levels are a safety risk

Operation & Maintenance Plan
Page -8-
* 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 Iagoon water is allowed to overlap 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.

WATER QUAi pY SECTION
System Calibration iSEP Z t 1998
Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based onNjt�e9e#e
conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and applica-don rates
change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular,
pump wear rends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With contimied 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 irr 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 p-otential far 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
Unifo= irty.
For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to
ensure proper- application rats 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 oT containers can be used to
collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because
they already have a graduated scale frorn 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 trans,"erred to a scaled container for measuring.
For s` rnonary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly
throughout the application area at several distances fro m sprinklers-. For Lveling
guns, sprinkiers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction
of pull. Se: out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both
sides or` the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for all
nonuniform ty 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.

Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land app=ied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or
groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
=o 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 app lication.cycle. Annual soil
tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be
balar+ced for rtalistic yields of the crop to be grown.
$eves = factors are important in implementing your waste utilization
plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to
e--isura 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 importan- as they have different infiltration
rates; leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and
avrt_lable water holding capacities.
2. 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
_o tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter
strips a_e established.
4. Do nct 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.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
----------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Wind conditions should also be carzsidered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrien:s 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 plant is based on the waste application method shown above. If
you choose to change methods in the futureyou need to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for different apply., atior_ methods are not the
same.
The Estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typ=cal nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management 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 e flexible
so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content anc crop type:
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optirimm 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 EnviroLmental
management Commission.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, tt3,•tons, etc.)
390 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hoga/year = 741_'1f.ons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN; PRODUCED P=R YEAR
390 hogs x 2.3 1bs FAN/hogs/year =-85 lbs. PAIT/year
Applying i.he above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and
have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely mariner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the
crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

*** This number must b4 less than or equal to 0 in order to fully utilise
the animal waste N produced.
Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the usable
acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas
unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application
rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the fields
listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the
tables.
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 sludgy will be nutrient
rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application
cf nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 144.3 pounds of plant available ni=rocen per year in the
sludge .
If, ycu remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 721.5
pounds of PAN Co utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid
bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds cf nitrogen per acre, you
will reed 2.405 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn_ at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 5.772 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 application
methods.
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='unoff or ponding occurs. This
rate is=imited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil
texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The appl:cation amount
should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the
time of_rrigat:.on 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 tc ensure
that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and

19. If animal prod-.zction 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
ante.
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 direc_ human consumption it
should only be applied prep ant 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 be`ween the markers. A marker will
he required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste
storage ponds.
22. tTaste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil
shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste
products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining
element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be
monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these
metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. soil and waste
analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry
-waste application_ records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be
maintained for live ( 5 ) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed cf in a mariner that meets North
Carolina regulations. -

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEMENT
Name of Farm:FENNELL BROS.' FARM #2
owner/Manager Agreement
I (we) understand and will fallow and implement the specifications
and the operation and maintenance procedL:res established in -the
approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above. I
(we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the
waste treatment and storage system or construction of new
facilities will require a new certii-ication to he submitted to the
North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) before the new
animals are 'stocked. I (we; also understand that there must be no
discharge of animal waste from this system to surface waters of the
state from a storm event less severe than the 25-year, 24-hour
storm. The ap?rcved plan_ will be filed on -site at the farm office
and at the office of the local Soil and relater Conservation District
and will ba available for review by NCEWQ upon request.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION AGREEMEIri'
I, Gerald Lee Points,MD, hereby give Vernon Fennell
permission to apply animal waste from his Waste Utilization System
acres of my land for the dux-aticn of time shown belcw.
T-he field(s) on which waste can be applied are shown on the
attached map.
I understand that this waste contains nitrogen, phosphorous,
potassium, and other trace elements and; when properly applied .
should not harm my land or crops. I also understand that the use
of waste will reduce my need for commercial fertilizer.

* 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 130.00 days of temporary storage and the
temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every
4.33333333333 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be
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 Tables 1 and 2. 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 rate prior to applying the waste.

= This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing, or running off the site. You should NOT Wait until wastes reach surface
waters or leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make
every effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be available to all
employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and breaks could happen at any time. Your
Emergency Action Plan is as follows:
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may not be possible.
{ Suggested responses to problems are listed below:
k
a. Lagoon overflow - possible solutions are:
> Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam
> Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate
> Stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waterers)
> Call a pumping contractor
> Make sure no surface. water is entering the lagoon
NOTE: These activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the
temporary storage level.
b. Runoff from waste application field - actions include:
> Immediately stop waste application
> Create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field
> Incorporate waste to reduce further runoff
c. Leakage from the waste distribution system:'
> Pipes and sprinklers -actions include:
-stop recycle (flushing system) pump �-
-stop irrigation pump
-close valves to eliminate further discharge
-separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
> Flush system, houses, solids'separators-actions include:
-stop recycle (flushing system) pump
-stop irrigation pump
-make sure no siphon effect has been created
-separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow

Emergency Action Plan
Page -2-
d. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often these are seepage as opposed
to flowing leaks -possible action*:
> Dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a submersible
pump, and pump back into lagoon.
> If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and
fill holes and compact with a clay type soil
> Other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil
*Lagoon problems require the consultation of an individual experienced in the
design and installation of lagoons for permanent repair measures.
2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a. Did the waste reach any surface waters?
b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration?
c. Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage?
3. Contact appropriate agencies. The numbers are listed below:
a. During normal business hours, call your DWQ (formerly DEM) regional office
(910) 395 -3900, Emergency number: [phone]. Your phone call
should include: your name, facility, telephone number, the details of the
incident from item 2 above, the exact location of the facility, and the location
or direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind conditions, what
corrective measures have been under taken, and the seriousness of the
situation.
b. If spill leaves property or enters surface waters, call local EMS (910) 25 9-12 10
or 911.
c. Instruct EMS to contact local Health Department [phone].
d. Contact CES [phone], and local SWCD and NRCS office (9141),259-
4305 for advice/technical assistance.
e. Contact your swine company

Non -Discharge PermitUnq
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 DWQ regulations.
Page: 1

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems.
5. 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. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management 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, tons, etc.)
390 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 741 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
390 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 897 lbs. PAN/year
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.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than
the acres shown in the tables.
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 144.3 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 721.5
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 2.405 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 5.772 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 application
methods.
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 Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and

NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
THIS IS A 2 YEAR ROTATION WITH CORN AFTER SOYBEANS, DOUBLE CROPPED SOYBEANS
AFTER WHEAT, COVER CROP RYE, WHICH WILL BE ALTERNATED BETWEEN THE FIELDS.
THIS PLAN WAS DONE BY USING 75% OF THE AVAILABLE LAND ACRREAGE, WHICH WAS
REQUESTED BY DWQ.
Page: 8

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by
runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or
direct discharge during operation or land application. Any
discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2. 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 waste, he/she shall
provide a copy 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
facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when
there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of
animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the
nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type,
available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict
the rate of application 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 that is eroding
at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year
providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves
the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip)
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after
waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is
danger of drift from the irrigation field_
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to
flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled
cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or
grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application
does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather
and Climate in North Carolina" 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 or flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such
a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that
would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal
waste should also be considered.
Page: 9

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for
spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for
leaching. Waste nutrient 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 from any perennial stream or river (other
than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than
swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995),
shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters.
(See Standard 393 - Filter Strips)_
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to
wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of
dwellings other than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property
and public right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters,
drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying.
Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided
they have been approved as a land application site by a
"technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on
grassed waterways that discharges 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.
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.
Page: 10

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
18. 1f animal production at the facility is to be suspended or
terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and
implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should
be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks,
and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on
site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables
and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if
animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it
should only be applied preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and
bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 71-61
Pender County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping fortes (i.e. IRR1, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRYS, 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.
PIease be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the
DWQ staff at [phone] ext. 571.

Subject: Irrigation Records

Facility Numbers: L7.11-30/617
Pender County
Dear Mr. Fennell:
On March 11, 1999, 1 inspected your animal operations and the lagoons serving these
facilities. NRCS Standards require that waste be applied at agronomic rates. Irrigation --
records in conjuction with a certified animal waste plan are the accepted method for showing
such application. It was observed that irrigation records kept by third party are not being kept
correctly. Using a third party is acceptable, however, it is still the grower/certified operator's
responsibility to verify that records are being kept correctly- NRCS Conservation Practice
Standard, Code 633 requires the facility to keep accurate and complete records of waste
application events. These records should be maintained for three years. In 15A NCAC 8F
.0203, Duties and Requirements of an Operator in Charge, it is specified that the certified
operator in charge is responsible for proper documentation of the daily operation of the animal
waste management system.
Since these records are being kept on computer, then each spray event must be
documented by hand on an IRR-1 form and kept with records. Total volume (column 7)
applied must be divided by the actual acreage covered for each spray event in -column 8. Two
options of record keeping are acceptable methods of showing agronomic application rates.
Option 1:
Break up spray field into smaller fields or spray zones and use a separate IRR-2 form for each
spray zone. Use the approximate acreage that is irrigated for this spray zone on the IRR-2.
Keep in mind that all zone acreages when added together cannot exceed total field acreage
listed in the waste plan.

Vernon Hall

Option 2:
If using total field acreage in calculations, then each application is listed on an IRR-1 by
location. IRR-2 calculations are calculated by adding the total amount of time irrigated for all
applications required to completely cover a field from the IRR-1 and performing calculations
using the total field acreage.
Keeping records by spray zone using a separate IRR-2 form (Optionl) will give you the
most flexibility when spraying. This will allow for differences in field quality. For instance, it
allows you to avoid areas of the field that may stay wet for long periods of time. Using Option
2 requires all of the field be applied to prior to repeating the cycle to show uniform field
coverage. It also makes keeping up to date records more difficult since it may be several
weeks before the entire field is covered.
You will need to generate a map or diagram showing how fields are sprayed. It should
include sprinkler placements with each location labeled. This will need to be kept with
irrigation records on the farm and a copy given to your record keeper to clarify where you
applied. I have enclosed an example of how such a diagram should look -- this information
can be placed on the aerial photo if space allows.
If you need assistance with addressing these items, please contact your service
company, the Pender County Extension or Soil & Water office. If you have any questions
concerning this matter, please call Dean Hunkele or Brian Wrenn at 910-395-3900.

Dear Mr. Fennell:
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 211.0217). 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, 1993 must submit a signed certification form 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 pl&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 [phone].
