The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of cropland needed to use
the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications to
maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being'supplied by manure or other by -products, -
commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity
of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides
for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

The Irrigation Application Factors for each field in this plan are shown in the following table. Infiltration rate varies with soils. If
applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system, you must apply at a rate that will not result in runoff. This table provides the
maximum application rate per hour that may be applied to each field selected to receive wastewater. It also lists the maximum
application amount that each field may receive in any one application event.

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

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

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
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 that reaches surface water is
prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns
or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the
waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the
waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is
within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste
application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to
secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the
operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving
crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for
realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data,
climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that
restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year.
Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but
less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where
runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard
393 - Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application.
Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land
application field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to
conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the
application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and
Climate in North Carolina" for guidance).
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such
that runoff does not occur offshe or to surface waters and in a method which does
not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order
to control odor and flies.
--- ----------------------------- •----
359686 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 5/27/2009 Specification Page 1

S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or
when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that
the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The
potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered.
10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted
crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on
these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted
to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior
to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the
following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from
a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any
residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste
from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer that 25
feet to perennial waters.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than
those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public
right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or
wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to
prior converted cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land
application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on
grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other
grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that
causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks,
etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
359686 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 5/27/2009 Specification Page 2
t

17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed
areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as
necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other
woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon
areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be
inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate
the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a
regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance
checklist should be kept on site.
20. AnimaI waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops
for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for
direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre -plant with no further
applications of animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of
the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons.
Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A
marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage
ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least
annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the
rate -determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied
based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen
based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative
crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be
adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis
records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application
records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years.
Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5)
years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

Crop Notes
The following crop note applies to field(s): 3, 4
Corn: CP, Mineral Soil, medium leaching
In the Coastal Plain, corn is normally planted when soil temperatures reach 52 to 55 degrees fahrenheit.
Review the Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high
yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Plant 1-2" deep. Plant
populations should be determined by the hybrid being planted. Increase the seeding rate by 10% when
planting no -till. Phosphorus and potassium recommended by a soil test can be broadcast or banded at
planting. When planting early in cool, wet soil, banded phosphorus will be more available to the young
plants. An accepted practice is to apply 20-30 lbs/acre N and 20-30 lbs/acre phosphorus banded as a
starter and one-half the remaining N behind the planter. The rest of the N should be applied about 30-40
days after emergence. The total amount of N is dependent on soil type. When including a starter in the
fertilizer program, the recommended potassium and any additional phosphorus is normally broadcast at
planting. Plant samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status
of the corn. Timely management of weeds and insects are essential for corn production.
The following crop note applies to field(s): 5
Bermudagrass Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Moderately Well Drained.
Adaptation: Well -adapted.
In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. 1 to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs V to 3"
deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and
wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a
rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing
conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced 1' to 1.5' in row.
For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus,
potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 ib/ac N in
the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240
lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts.
Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization
of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or
extension agent for assistance.

The following crop note applies to field(s): 5
Small Grain: CP, Mineral Soil, medium leachable
In the Coastal Plain, oats and barley should be planted from October 15-October 30; and rye from
October 15-November 20. For barley, plant 22 seed/drill row foot and increase the seeding rate by 5% for
each week seeding is delayed beyond the optimum time. See the seeding rates table for applicable
seeding rate modifications in the current NCSU "Small Grain Production Guide". Also, increase the
initial seeding rate by at least 10% when planting no -till. Oats should be planted at 2 bushels/acre and
rye at 1-1 1/2 bushels/acre. Plant all these small grains at 1-1 1/2" deep. Adequate depth control is
essential. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to
select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Apply no more
than 30 lbs/acre N at planting. Phosphorus and potash recommended by a soil test can also be applied at
this time. The remaining N should be applied during the months of February -March.
The following crop note applies to field(s): 3, 4
Wheat: Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, medium leachable
In the Coastal Plain, wheat should be planted from October 20-November 25. Plant 22 seed/drill row foot
at 1-1 1/2" deep and increase the seeding rate by 5% for each week seeding is delayed beyond the
optimum time. See the seeding rates table for applicable seeding rate modifications in the current NCSU
"Small Grain Production Guide". Also, increase the initial seeding rate by at least 10% when planting
no -till. Adequate depth control when planting the wheat is essential. Review the NCSU Official Variety
"green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with the
characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Apply no more than 30 lbs/acre N at planting.
Phosphorus and potash recommended by a soil test report can also be applied at this time. The remaining
N should be applied during the months of February -March. The total N is dependent on the soil type.
Plant samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the nutrient status -of the wheat.
Timely management of diseases, insects and weeds are essential for profitable wheat production.
The following crop note applies to field(s): 1
Fescue: Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Moderately Well Drained
Adaptation: Marginal.
In the Coastal Plain, tall fescue can be planted Sept. 1 to Oct. 15 (best) and Feb. 15 to Mar. 20. For
pure -stand broadcast seedings use 20 to 30 lblac., for drilled use 15 to 201b/ac. seed. Use certified seed
to avoid introducing weeds or annual ryegrass. Plant seed 0.25" to 0.5" deep for pure stands, 0.25" in
mixture with clovers. Tall fescue requires adequate soil moisture for persistence and production. Soil test
for preplant and maintenance lime, phosphorus, and potassium recommendations. Apply 40 to 60 lb/ac
nitrogen at planting for pure stands only. Do not apply N for mixtures with clovers but use proper legume
inoculation techniques. Apply 150 to 200 lb1ac. N to pure -stand fescue for hay production; reduce N rates
by 25% to 50% for grazing. Apply N Feb. 1 to Mar. 20 and Aug. 20 to Sept. 30, with equal amounts in
each window. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization of Pastures and Forages
in North Carolina for additional information or consult your regional agronomist or extension agent for

Soybeans -Full Season, Coastal Plain: Mineral soil, medium leachable
The suggested planting dates for soybeans in the Coastal Plains are from April 20-May 20. Review the
NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding
variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Plant 2-4 seed/row foot for 7-8"
drills; 4-6 seed/row foot for 15" rows; 6-8 seed/row foot for 30" rows and 8-10 seed/row foot for 36"
rows. Increase the seeding rate by at least 10% for no -till planting. Seeding depth should be 1-1 1/2" and
adequate depth control is essential. Phosphorus and potash recommended by a soil test report can be
broadcast or banded at planting. Soybeans produce their own nitrogen and are normally grown without
additions of nitrogen. However, applications of 20-30 lbs/acre N are sometimes made at planting to
promote early growth and vigor. Tissue samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor
the overall nutrient status of the soybeans. Timely management of weeds and insects is essential for
profitable soybean production.
The following crop note applies to fieid(s). 3
Double -Crop Soybeans, Coastal Plain: Mineral soil, medium leachable
Double -crop soybeans should be planted as early in June as possible with planting completed by July 4th.
When no -tilling soybeans in small grain straw, it is essential to manage the straw to achieve adequate
plant populations. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private
companies to select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions.
Plant 2-4 seed/row foot for 7-8" drills; 4-6 seed/row foot for 15" rows; 6-8 seed/row foot for 30" rows
and 8-10 seed/row foot for 36" rows. Increase the seeding rate by at least 10% for no -till planting.
Seeding depth should be 1-1 1/2" and adequate depth control is essential. Phosphorus and potash
recommended for the soybeans can be applied to the wheat in the Fall. Soybeans produce their own
nitrogen and are normally grown without additions of nitrogen. However, applications of 20-30 lbs/acre
N are sometimes made at planting to promote early growth and vigor. Tissue samples can be analyzed
during the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status of the soybeans. Timely management of
weeds and insects is essential for profitable double crop soybean production.

Blackjack Farms Repopulation
Permit No. AWS710078
Pender County -
This letter is in response to your request to repopulate the above referenced swine facility in Pender County. We
understand that Blackjack Farms has been depopulated (0 animals) since late 1999. We also understand that you
had applied for the Swine Facility Buyout on two separate occasions, neither or which were successful. You have
provided the Division with documentation of the buyout application and a list of monies spent towards renovating
the facility, however, you have not provided any documentation that animals have been on site during the last four
Years.
The Division relies on guidance for situations such as these from the Senate Bill 1217 Interagency Group. Guidance
developed by the SB 1217 Interagency Group represent guidelines to address questions from technical specialists
and provides uniform interpretations regarding requirements of animal waste management rules. Sections 2.2 and
2.6 of the 1217 Guidance Document state that if a facility is abandoned or unused for four or more years, the farm
will be considered a new facility and that the lagoon must meet all current NRCS Standards. A copy of the pertinent
sections of the 1217 Guidance Document and the 02H .0200 rules are attached.
Based on the information you have provided and guidelines in the 1217 Guidance Document; Blackjack Farms is
required to bring the lagoon(s) up to current NRCS Standards prior to restocking animals at the facility. This
determination can be reevaluated based on any additional information that you may be able to provide.
If you have any questions regarding this letter or need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me at
[phone].

Pender County
Dear James W. Connor.
On April 28, 2003, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the
Division of Water Quality (Division) to extend the expiration date of the Swine Waste Operation General
Permit AWG100000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the
expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with
all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit. .
In accordance with your application received on February 12, 2003 and in accordance with the directive
of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to James
W. Connor, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Permit AWGI00000. The issuance of this COC
supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS710078 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 Crooms; --Bridge-Farm-/-Blac kjack-North;-located in Pender County, with -an
animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 1725 Feeder to Finish swine and the application
to land as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a
Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where
boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be
replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the, date of issuance until 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.. AM

The waste from this swine unit must be applied at specified rates to prevent pollution
of surface and/or groundwater. These rates are based on soil types of the land to be irrigated, the
RYE's of the soil, and the PAN required to efficiently grow the crops in the fields where waste is
applied. This Nutrient Management Plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be
analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are required so that all plant
nutrient requirements can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing this plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of
the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner., Factors included are:
a. Always apply waste based on crop needs and the nutrient content of the waste.,
b. Do not over apply nitrogen.
c. Soil types are important because of different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange
capacities, and water holding capacities.
d. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the ground is frozen either of
which could lead to surface runoff.
e. Consider wind conditions to avoid drift and down wind odor problems.
f. Waste can only be applied to actively growing crops or not more than 30 days prior to planting
a crop or to forages breaking dormancy.
This plan is based on waste being applied using irrigation. If the application method is changed, this
plan will have to be revised because nutrient content varies depending on how it is applied.
The estimated acres needed to apply the waste as described above is based on average analyses
for this type facility. Actual acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report
from your facility. This nutrient management plan, if followed, meets the requirements for
compliance with 15A NCAC 21-1.0217 as adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

NOTE: The acres listed in Table 2 were determined by Wetted Acre Calculations.
Actual total acres in the field most likely is more than those shown.
The nitrogen balance shown in table 2.should be equal to or less than 0 to fully utilize the nutrients
produced by the swine production on this farm. To produce crops at the RYE's shown may
require the use of commercial fertilizer to balance fertilization rates In crop rotations. This farm is
producing 3967.5 lbs. of nitrogen per year in the waste water and 621
lbs. of nitrogen accumulates annually as sludge. To land apply the liquid portion in an acceptable
manner requires the irrigation system to pump and spread 1,599,075 total gallons
annually. This involves spreading 58.89 acre -inches per year over 27.42
total acres, or an average of 2.15 inches is to be applied, on average, to each acre

Summary and recommendations
1. Total PAN produced per year (based on land application with irrigation) that must be
accounted for in this cropping system equals: 3,968 Ibs/year.
2. Total PAN produced per year as SLUDGE and that must be periodically land
applied (based on application with irrigation) equals 621 lbstyear.
3. The production totals in 1 and 2 above are based on averages and this farms actual land
requirements should be based on waste analysis reports.
4. Totals gallons of waste produced is equal to 1,599,075 gallons/year for a
total of 58.89 acre -inches per year. This requires the correct equipment and
that it be applied in a timely manner.
5. This farm has many more acres irrigatable than needed just for swine waste use.
Therefore, commercial fertilizer must be used to achieve the RYE yields shown. This
fertilizer must be recorded just as the swine waste to avoid over fertilization.
6. This farm produces 3,968 Ibs of Nitrogen in liquid waste and 621
Ibs in the sludge annually for an annual production rate of 4,589 Ibs of N/yr.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
Producer Facility Number 7 l -" 7
o Proper lag n 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 liquid. This will make storage space available
in the lagoon for future wet periods. In the late surmmer/early fall the lagoon
should be pumped down to the low 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 he 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 sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon
dam. A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave
action. If wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the
lagoon may be used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your
lagoon has any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with
design and 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:
Management:
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
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 50 percent of the permanent storage
volume.
* If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility
of a pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge build up can be reduced by:
Proper lagoon sizing

Operation & Maintenance Plan
Page -5-
* 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 well as any previous waste applications to that field and
crop requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage.
Close attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon
liner remains intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being

Operation & Management Plan
Page -6-
disturbed, you should stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are
sure that the sludge can he 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 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping).
This will give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a 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

initial filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid
erosion of the lining.
4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize
bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather).
5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a
healthy working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full
-
lagoon liquid volume. This seeding should occur at least two weeks
prior to the addition of wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. -If the pH falls
below 7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic
feet of lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum
lagoon liquid pH is between 7.5 and 8.0.
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate
biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is
recommended if these conditions occur for prolonged periods,
especially during the warm season.
Loading:
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater.is added to a lagoon, the better
the lagoon will function. Flush.systems that wash waste into the lagoon several
times daily are optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more
buildings are drained and recharged each day, also work well.
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 liquid 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 lagoon 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.

Location: 7211 NC Hwy 53 N.
Burgaw,NC 28425
Telephone: >> 910/259-4502
Type Operation: » Existing Feeder to Finish Swine
Number of Animals: >> 1200.00 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.
0. 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.)
1200 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 2280 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
1200 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 2760 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 UTILIZATION PLAN
*** This number must be less than or equal to 0 in order to fully

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 444 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 2220
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 7.4 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 17.76 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 ec)sur.e
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.
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.

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: 8

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.
15. 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: 9

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 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 five (5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North
Carolina regulations.

Mortality Management Methods
(check which method(s) are being implemented)
❑ Burial three feet beneath the surface of the ground within 24 hours after
knowled-e of the death. The burial must be at least 300 feet from any flowing
stream or public body of water. '
Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S. 106-168.7
C] Complete incineration
❑ In the case of dead poultry only, placing in a disposal pit of a size and design
approved by the Department of Agriculture
❑ Any method which in the professional opinion of the State Veterinarian would
make possible the salvage of part of a dead animal's value without endangering
human or animal health. (Written approval of the State Veterinarian must be
attached)

Insect Control Checklist for Animal Operations
Source Cause BMPs to Control Insects Site Specific Practices
Flush Gutters • Accumulation of solids Flush system is designed and operated
sufficiently to remove accumulated solids from
gutters as designed.
Remove bridging of accumulated solids at
/' discharge
Lagoons and Pits • Crusted Solids Maintain lagoons, settling basins and pits where
pest breeding is apparent to minimize the
crusting of solids to a depth of no more than 6 -
It inches over more than 30% of surface.
Excessive Vegetative • Decaying vegetation aci Maintain vegetative control along banks of
Growth /� lagoons and other impoundments to prevent
accumulation of decaying vegetative matter
along waters edge on impoundment's perimeter.
Feeders
• F
I,v
Design, operate and maintain feed systems (e.g.,
bunkers and troughs) to minimize the
accumulation of decaying wastage.
i�
Clean up spillage on a routine basis (e.g., 7 - 10
day interval during summer; 15-30 day interval
during winter).
Feed Storage Accumulations of feed residues
Reduce moisture accumulation within and
around immediate perimeter of feed storage
areas by insuring drainage away from site
and/or providing adequate containment (e.g.,
covered bin for brewer's grain and similar high
moisture grain products).
Inspect for and remove or break up accumulated
solids in filter strips around feed storage as
needed.

Animal Holding Areas • Accumulations o
and feed wastage
wastes ❑ Eliminate low areas that trap moisture along
fences and other locations where waste
accumulates and disturbance by animals is
minimal.
❑ Maintain fence rows and filter strips around
animal holding areas to minimize
accumulations of wastes (i.e., inspect for and
remove or break up accumulated solids as
needed).
Dry Manure Handling • Accumulations of animal wastes ❑ Remove spillage on a routine basis (e.g., 7 - 10
Systems day interval during summer; 15-30 day interval
during winter) where manure is loaded for land
application or disposal.
❑ Provide for adequate drainage around manure
stockpiles.
Cl Inspect for and remove or break up accumulated
wastes in filter strips around stockpiles and
manure handling areas as needed.

Subject: Application No. AWS710078
Additional Information Request
Crooms Bridge Farm / Blackjack North
Animal Waste Operation
Pender County
Dear James W. Connor:
The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a review of the subject application. It has been documented that facility
AWS710104 and facility AWS710078 are to be permitted together. Additional information is required before we can
continue with the permitting process. Please address the following by March 18, 2001:
1. Please submit an updated Waste Utilization Plan that combines both of the facilities under one plan.
2. Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) incorporates current guidance allowing for up to 100 pounds of
nitrogen per acre to be applied to small grain overseed (grazed) under strict management practices. As
mentioned in the guidance memo the last application to bermuda must be prior to August 31 and the last
application to small grain may be through March. Currently your WUP lists the application window for
Bermuda as April through September and the application window for small grain as September through
April. These application windows should be revised in the event that this same cropping scheme is used in
your updated WUP to April — August for bermuda and September - March for small grain to reflect the
current guidance for application to small grain overseed at increased amounts.
Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist. Please
reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. All information should be signed,
sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below. The information requested by this letter, must be
submitted on or before March 18, 2001 or the Division will return your application as incomplete in accordance with 15A
N.C.A.C. 2H .0200 and your facility will be considered to be operating without a permit.
Please be advised that operation of the subject animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and will subject you to the enforcement authority of the Environmental Management
Commission.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please call me at [phone], extension 544.

The waste from this swine unit must be applied at specified rates to prevent pollution
of surface and/or groundwater. These rates are based on soil types of the land to be irrigated, the
RYE's of the soil, and the PAN required to efficiently grow the crops in the fields where waste is
applied. This Nutrient Management Plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be
analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are required so that all plant
nutrient requirements can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing this plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of
the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Factors included are:
a. Always apply waste based on crop needs and the nutrient content of the waste.
b. Do not over apply nitrogen.
c. Soil types are important because of different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange
capacities, and water holding capacities.
d. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the ground is frozen either of
which could lead to surface runoff.
e. Consider wind conditions to avoid drift and down wind odor problems.
f. Waste can only be applied to actively growing crops or not more than 30 days prior to planting
a crop or to forages breaking dormancy.
This plan is based on waste being applied using irrigation. If the application method is changed, this
plan will have to be revised because nutrient content varies depending on how it is applied.
The estimated acres needed to apply the waste as described above is based on average analyses
for this type facility. Actual acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report
from your facility. This nutrient management plan, if followed, meets the requirements for
compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 as adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

NOTE: The acres listed in Table 2 were determined by Wetted Acre Calculations.
Actual total acres in the field most likely is more than those shown.
The nitrogen balance shown in table 2 should be equal to or less than 0 to fully utilize the nutrients
produced by the swine production on this farm. To produce crops at the RYE'S shown may
require the use of commercial fertilizer to balance fertilization rates in crop rotations. This farm is
producing 3967.5 Ibs. of nitrogen per year in the waste water and 621
lbs. of nitrogen accumulates annually as sludge. To land apply the liquid portion in an acceptable
manner requires the irrigation system to pump and spread 1,599,075 total gallons
annually. This involves spreading 58.89 acre -inches per year over 38.27
total acres, or an average of 1.54 inches is to be applied, on average, to each acre
irrigated.

NOTES ON TABLE 3: This table is a guide only and is for optimum conditions. The total amount of N
allowed for the crop may be applied anytime within the application window shown as long as the PAN
is not exceeded. Weather conditions or other factors may necessitate the waste applicator under
or over applying during any given month within the application window.
The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.
tract # field # soil type applic.rate applic.amount
(in/hr) (inches/set-up)
2994 1 Pactolus 0.75 1
3006 3,4,5, Pactolus 0.75 1
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.

Summary and recommendations
1. Total PAN produced per year (based on land application with irrigation) that must be
accounted for in this cropping system equals: 3,968 Ibs/year.
2. Total PAN produced per year as SLUDGE and that must be periodically land
applied (based on application with irrigation) equals 621 Ibs/year.
3. The production totals in 1 and 2 above are based on averages and this farms actual land
requirements should be based on waste analysis reports.
4. Totals gallons of waste produced is equal to 1,599,075 gallonslyear for a
total of 58.89 acre -inches per year. This requires the correct equipment and
that it be applied in a timely manner.
5. This farm has many more acres irrigatable than needed just for swine waste use.
Therefore, commercial fertilizer must be used to achieve the RYE yields shown. This
fertilizer must be recorded just as the swine waste to avoid over fertilization.
6. This farm produces 3,968 lbs of Nitrogen in liquid waste and 621
lbs in the sludge annually for an annual production rate of 4,589 Ibs of N/yr.
Crop cycle total Nitrogen application rates per acre for use in block B on form ERR 2's.

Owner / Manager Agreement
I (we) verify that all the above information is correct and will be updated upon changing. I (we) understand the operation
and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste management plan for the farm named above and will
implement these procedures. 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 certification to be submitted to the Division of
Environmental Management before the new animals are stocked. I (we) understand that there must be no discharge of
animal waste from the storage or application system to surface waters of the state either directly through a than -made
conveyance or from a storm event less severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm and there must not be run-off from the
application of animal waste. I (we) understand that run-off of pollutants from lounging and heavy use areas must be
minimized using technical standards developed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The approved plan will be -
filed at the farm and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District. I (we) know that any modification
must be approved by a technical specialist and submitted to the Soil and Water Conservation District prior to
implementation. A change in land ownership requires written notification to DEM or a new certification (if the approved
plan is changed) within 60 days of a title transfer.

'Calculations based on animal units with waste applied by irrigation
Several factors are important in implementing this plan to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to
ensure that the waste is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Factors included are:
1: Always apply wastes based on crop needs and the nutrient content of the waste.
2: Do not over apply nitrogen.
3: Do not apply wastes on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the ground is frozen, either could
cause surface runoff.
4. Consider wind conditions to avoid drift and down wind odor problems.
5. Wastes can only be applied to actively growing crops or not more than 30 days prior to planting or to
forages breaking dormancy.
6: This plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient.
7: This plan is based on wastes being applied using irrigation. If the application method is changed,
this plan will need to be revised because the nutrient content varies depending upon the application
method.
8: Waste samples are required to be taken and analyzed at least 60 days within the application date.
9: Soil samples are required to be taken and analyzed annually. These analyses are used to balance all
nutrients for optimum growth and to monitor metal levels in the soil, especially copper and zinc.

The nitrogen balance shown in table 3 should be equal to of less than 0 to fully utilize the nutrients
produced by the swine from this farm_ To produce crops at the RYE'S shown may require the use
of commercial fertilizer to balance fertilization rates in crop rotations. This farm is producing
1207.5 Ibs of nitrogen per year in the waste water and an additional 189
Ibs of nitrogen accumulates annually as sludge. To land apply the liquid portion in an acceptable manner
requires the irrigation system to pump and spread 486675 total gallons annually.

that runoff or ponding occurs. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding
capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the
nitrogen needs of the crop.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on
the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your
structure be higher than the upper pumping marker except in the event of a 25 year, 24 hour storm.
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
Table 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables make this
plan invalid.
Narrative of Operation:
Field 1 is the only field included in this nutrient utilization plan. It is established with hybrid bermudagrass
which is to be cut for hay. Small grain will be planted in the Fall to utilize the N to be applied during the
period from September to April. The small grain will also be cut for hay. The field is marked yellow on the
attached map and the 25' setbacks from the ditch are marked in green.

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 to 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.
S. 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 inton 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 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 thes
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.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North
Carolina requlations.

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.
i Suggested responses to problems are listed below:
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 Iocal EMS [phone]
or 911.
c. Instruct EMS to contact local Health Department [phone]. `
d. Contact CES [phone], and local SWCD and NRCS office_ (9-1.4259- -
4305 for advice/technical-assistance: -
e. Contact your swine company
4. Implement procedures as advised by DEM and technical assistance agencies to
rectify the damage, repair the system, and reassess the waste management plan
to keep problems with release of wastes from happening again.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
Producer _J -UeS CONNOR Facility Number 71-104
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 liquid. This will make storage space available
in the lagoon for future wet periods. In the late surmmer/early fall the lagoon
should be pumped down to the low 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 sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon
dam. A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave
action. If wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the
lagoon may be used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your
lagoon has any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with
design and 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 Iagoon 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 50 percent of the permanent storage
volume.
* If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility
of a pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge build up can be reduced by:
* Proper lagoon sizing

Operation & Maintenance Plan
Page -5-
* 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 Iagoon; 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 well as any previous waste applications to that field and
crop requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage.
Close attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon
liner remains intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being

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 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping).
This will give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a 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 loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize
bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather).
5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a
healthy working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full
lagoon liquid volume. This seeding should occur at least two weeks
prior to the addition of wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls
below 7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic
feet of lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum
lagoon liquid pH is between 7.5 and 8.0.
7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate
biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is
recommended if these conditions occur for prolonged periods,
especially during the warm season.
Loading:
The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better
the lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several
times daily are optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more
buildings are drained and recharged each day, also work well.
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 liquid 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.

Dear James W. Connor:
The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary review of the subject application. Additional information is
required before we can continue our review. Please address the following by July 7, 2001:
Please provide a clearer map that identifies (outlines or highlights) and shows the acreage for each field to
be used for waste application. The map previously submitted to the Division shows Tract 2994, field 1 as
10.33 acres, however the Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) dated March 6, 2001 shows Tract 2994, field 1 as
14.12 acres. The map also shows Tract 3006. field 5 as 5.5 acres and field 4 as 7.02 acres while the WUP
shows field 5 as 4.67 acres and field 4 as 19.48 acres. Please address this discrepancy and revise the V4'UP
as necessary or provide a clearer map. Please note any WUP revisions must be signed by both the technical
specialist and the owner.
Please note that all R'UP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist. Please
reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. All information should be signed,
sealed. and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below. The information requested by this letter. must be
submitted on or before July 7, 2001 or the Division will return your application as incomplete in accordance with 15A
N.C. A-C. 2H .0200 and your facility will be considered to be operating without a permit.
Please be advised that operation of the subject animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and will subject you to the enforcement authority of the Environmental Management
Commission.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please call me at [phone], extension 544.

Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System
Crooms Bridge Farm / Blackjack North
Facility Number 7I-78
Pender County
Dear James W. Connor:
A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal
Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only
the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any
acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your
plan.
An evaluation by Patrick Fussell on 6/22/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your
facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of
the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X".
Category 1:
❑ The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please
contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Patrick Fussell the necessary
information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre
determination. Please submit this information to Patrick Fussell, at 127 Cardinal Drive
Extension, Wilmington, NC 28405-3845, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you
have any questions please contact Patrick Fussell at [phone]. If within 90 days
you are unable to provide Patrick Fussell with the information you are automatically
required to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2
below, within 180 days of receipt of this letter.

Notification for Wettable Acre Determination
Animal Waste Management System
Page 2
Category 2:
Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
as a facility that -may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal
waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates
set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him
or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must
be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct
Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension
Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation
Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special
designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this
designation, or a Professional Engineer.
All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and
the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be returned to DWO within the next
180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the
required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this facility
into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation,
and/or injunctive relief.
Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable
Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please
note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all
the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan
must be kept at your facility. DWQ and the Division of Soil & Water Conservation Staff will
review all documentation during their annual visit of your facility. An additional copy must by
kept on file at the local Soil & Water Conservation District Office. Please note that if you install
or modify your irrigation system, a designated Irrigation Specialist or a Professional Engineer
must also sign the Wettable Acre Determination Certification.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter -'please do not hesitate to contact Sonya Avant of our
Central Office staff at [phone] ext. 571.

Facility Number 71-78

Dear James W. Connor:
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRR1, IRR2, DRY I, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR I, SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the
DWQ staff at [phone] ext. 571.

Dear Mr. Connor:
On August 12, 1998, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water
Quality inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. It was observed
that the required records had not been properly maintained and were incomplete. As a result, it
appears that nitrogen was applied in excess of the recommended rates for small grain crops in
spray field #3. In addition, several bare areas will need continued work for a proper vegetative
cover.
All required records forms (spray irrigation and lagoon level, etc.) need to be kept current
and complete. Nitrogen should be applied at rates consistent with those listed for each in the waste
utilization plan. We suggest that you contact your service company, local NRCS or Soil and
Water District office for any assistance they may be able to provide to correct the situation.
To remain a deemed permitted facility, you must notify this office in writing within
fourteen (14) days of the receipt of this notice, what actions will be taken to comply with your
waste management plan. Failure to do so may result in the facility losing _it's.deemed permitted
status, requiring it to obtain an individual non discharge permit.
Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes to discharge wastewater
to the surface waters of the State without a permit. The Department of Environment, Health and
Natural Resources has the authority to levy._a civil -penalty _of-not_more-than .$10;000 per day per

Subject: Notice of Violation
Blackjack Farm
Facility Number: 71-78
Pender County
Dear Mr. Connor:
You are hereby notified that Blackjack Farm, which has been deemed permitted to have a nondischarge
permit for an animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0217, has been found to be in
violation of its 2H .0217 Permit.
On June 6, 1997, in response to a report from DSWC personnel, DWQ staff observed a discharge of
wastewater by the Blackjack Farm to an unnamed tributary of Holly Shelter Creek in the Northeast Cape
Fear River Basin. Staff observed excessive ponding and runoff of animal waste due to over application
and the application of waste during a rainfall event. The waste and sludge was being applied by a
contracted applicator, Mr. Russell Lewis. Animal waste was observed flowing from the application site,
through the Right of Way of NC Highway 53 and in the watercourse downstream at the time of
inspection. Results of samples taken indicated high levels of fecal coliform bacteria, ammonia and
nutrients entering surface waters of the State.
The Division of Water Quality will proceed to revoke Blackjack Farm's permit unless the following
conditions are completed:
1. Immediately eliminate the discharge of wastewater and/or list actions to correct the noted
violation.
2. Make any modifications needed to ensure there will be no future discharges.

To remain a deemed permitted facility, all corrective actions must be made within seven (7) days. Failure

of not more than $10,000 per day per violation. In addition, this assessment does not prevent the Division
of Water Quality from taking enforcement actions for this violation or any past or future violations.
When the required corrective actions are complete, please notify this office in writing at the address below.

On April 2, 1997, in response to a complaint, staff from the Wilmington Office of the Division of
Water Quality inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. It was observed that
lagoon #1 (Backjack South) had less than 4 inches of available freeboard. Lagoon #2 (Blackjack North) was
also observed to have insufficient freeboard. While no discharge of waste was observed to waters of the state
at the time of inspection, any rainfall event could likely result in the discharge of waste from the lagoon.
The level of your waste lagoon should be lowered and maintained in accordance with the NRCS guidelines
and the state 2H .0200 rules governing animal waste management systems.
USDA-NRCS guidelines require a minimum of one foot and seven inches of freeboard. This is based
on the amount of storage space needed to contain a 25-year, 24 hour design storm event without a discharge.
NRCS requirements also specify that animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops. And that
waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted drops 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 on bare soil. In addition, a certified operator must be designated for this facility.
Failure to designated an OIC of your animal waste management system is a violation of NCGS 90A-47.2.

Dear Mr. Connor:

You are hereby notified that Blackjack Farm, which has been deemed permitted to have a nondischarge
permit for an animal waste disposal system pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0217, has been found to be in
violation of its 2H .0217 Permit.
On June 6, 1997, in response to a report from DSWC personnel, DWQ staff observed a discharge of
wastewater by the BIackjack Farm to an unnamed tributary of Holly Shelter Creek in the Northeast Cape
Fear River Basin. Staff observed excessive ponding and runoff of animal waste due to over application
and the application of waste during a rainfall event. The waste and sludge was being applied by a
contracted applicator, Mr. Russell Lewis. Animal waste was observed flowing from the application site,
through the Right of Way of NC Highway 53 and in the watercourse downstream at the time of
inspection. Results of samples taken indicated high levels of fecal coliform bacteria, ammonia and
nutrients entering surface waters of the State.
The Division of Water Quality will proceed to revoke Blackjack Farm's permit unless the following
conditions are completed:
1. Immediately eliminate the discharge of wastewater and/or list actions to correct the noted
violation.
2.. Make any modifications needed to ensure there will be no future discharges.

To remain a deemed permitted facility, all corrective actions must be made within seven (7) days. Failure
to do so may result in the facility losing it's deemed permitted status and requiring Blackjack Farm to apply
for an individual non discharge permit for the facility.
Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes to discharge wastewater to the surface
waters of the State without a permit. The Division of Water Quality has the authority to levy a civil penalty
of not more than $10,000 per day per violation. In addition, this assessment does not prevent the Division
of Water Quality from taking enforcement actions for this violation or any past or future violations.
When the required corrective actions are complete, please notify this office in writing at the address below.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact either Mr. David Holsinger or myself at our

Dear Mr. Lewis:
During an inspection conducted on June 6, 1997, by Regional Office Staff, several
operational deficiencies were noted that need immediate attention. Evidence of over
application of animal waste was observed in the spray fields. It was also noted that due to this
excessive application, run-off to an adjacent stream was evident.
North Carolina General Statute 90A-41 provides for the suspension or revocation of an
operator's certificate or for a written reprimand to an operator of a facility. The Water
Pollution Control Systems Operators Certification Commission, in accordance with the
provisions of Chapter 150B of the General Statutes, may take such action when it finds that
the operator has:
(1) Engaged in fraud or deception.
(2) Fails to exercise reasonable care, judgement, or use of the operator's knowledge
and ability in the performance of the duties .
(3) Is incompetent or otherwise unable to properly perform his duties.

FROM: David Holsinge ,
Environmental En ' eer
SUBJECT: Request for legal opinion
On June 6, 1997, in response to a report from DSWC personnel, DWQ staff observed a discharge of
wastewater by the Blackjack Farm to an unnamed tributary of Holly Shelter Creek in the Northeast Cape
Fear River Basin. Staff observed excessive ponding and runoff of animal waste due to gross over
application and the application of waste during a substantial rainfall event. Animal waste and sludge was
being applied by a contracted applicator, Mr. Russell Lewis. Animal waste was observed flowing from
the application site, through the Right of Way of NC Highway 53 and in the watercourse downstream at
the time of inspection. Results of samples taken indicated high levels of fecal conform bacteria, ammonia
and nutrients entering surface waters of the State.
On the basis of the above documented activities, I have asked that Mr. Lewis' licensure to operate
permitted waste management application and residuals application systems be reviewed. In addition, the
facilities owner, Mr. Jim Conner has indicated that he feels a discharge did not occur on the basis that
staff did not sample the water course where it exits his property. Mr. Conner contends that since he owns
the property on which NC Highway 53 exists and that the state has an easement for NC 53 across his
property, this is not a public trust area and that a discharge has not occurred. The unnamed tributary
(UT) in which the waste was discharged, flows through a culvert beneath NC 53 an into a pond behind
Mr. Conners house. This pond has an outlet leading to Holly Shelter Creek in the Cape Fear River Basin.
I would ask that you review the validity of Mr. Conners claim and respond with an opinion based upon
existing General Statutes and legal precedents.
I thank you in advance for your attention in this matter and look forward to your timely response. If you
have any further questions, I may be reached at [phone], extension 203.

Re: Notice of Violation, Blackjack Farms, Facility #71-78
Pender County
Dear Mr. Shiver:
I believe the run-off from the field Lewis Liquid Waste
was pumping was contained to my property. I asked
Mr. Holsinger to take a water sample at a point any run-off
might exit my property, but he declined to do so. I
understand his decision, -since he was not aware that the
state does not own a right of way on Highway 53 from Burgaw
to Jacksonville.
Mr. Holsinger suggested that I dump a load of dirt in
the ditch coming out of the field to prevent any further
run-off which I did within the hour. Mr. Lewis then pumped
the remaining water on both sides of the dike and returned
it to the lagoon.
To make sure I don't have this type problem in the
future I've purchased an irrigation pump and reel that puts
out about eighty per -cent less volume than the one Mr. Lewis
was using.
If there are any recommendations that you have that
would help my operation I would appreciate hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Jim Connor

The waste from this swine unit must be applied at specified rates to prevent pollution
of surface and/or groundwater. These rates are based on soil types of the land to be irrigated, the
RYE's of the soil, and the PAN required to efficiently grow the crops in the fields where waste is
applied. This Nutrient Management Plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be
analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are required so that all plant
nutrient requirements can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing this plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of
the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Factors included are:
a. Always apply waste based on crop needs and the nutrient content of the waste.
b. Do not over apply nitrogen.
c. Soil types are important because of different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange
capacities, and water holding capacities.
d. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the ground is frozen either of
which could lead to surface runoff.
e. Consider wind conditions to avoid drift and down wind odor problems.
f. Waste can only be applied to actively growing crops or not more than 30 days prior to planting
a crop or to forages breaking dormancy.
This plan is based on waste being applied using irrigation. If the application method is changed, this
plan will have to be revised because nutrient content varies depending on how it is applied.
The estimated acres needed to apply the waste as described above is based on average analyses
for this type facility. Actual -acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report
from your facility. This nutrient management plan, if followed, meets the requirements for
compliance with 15A NCAC 21-1.0217 as adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

NOTE: The acres listed in Table 2 were determined by Wetted Acre Calculations.
Actual total acres in the field most likely is more than those shown.
The nitrogen balance shown in table 2 should be equal to or less than 0 to fully utilize the nutrients
produced by the swine production on this farm. To produce crops at the RYE's shown may
require the use of commercial fertilizer to balance fertilization rates in crop rotations. This farm is
producing 3967.5 lbs. of nitrogen per year in the waste water and 621
lbs. of nitrogen accumulates annually as sludge. To land apply the liquid portion in an acceptable
manner requires the irrigation system to pump and spread 1,599,075 total gallons
annually. This involves spreading 58.89 acre -inches per year over 27.42
total acres, or an average of 2.15 inches is to be applied, on average, to each acre
irrigated.

NOTES ON TABLE 3: This table is a guide only and is for optimum conditions. The total amount of N
allowed for the crop may be applied anytime within the application window shown as long as the PAN
is not exceeded. Weather conditions or other factors may necessitate the waste applicator under
or over applying during any given month within the application window.
The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

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.

Summary and recommendations
1. Total PAN produced per year (based on land application with irrigation) that must be
accounted for in this cropping system equals: 3,968 Ibstyear.
2. Total PAN produced per year as SLUDGE and that must be periodically land
applied (based on application with irrigation) equals 621 Ibs/year.
3. The production totals in 1 and 2 above are based on averages and this farms actual land
requirements should be based on waste analysis reports.
4. Totals gallons of waste produced is equal to 1,599,075 gallons/year for a
total of 58.89 acre -inches per year. This requires the correct equipment and
that it be applied in a timely manner.
5. This farm has many more acres irrigatable than needed just for swine waste use.
Therefore, commercial fertilizer must be used to achieve the RYE yields shown. This
fertilizer must be recorded just as the swine waste to avoid over fertilization.
6. This farm produces 3,968 Ibs of Nitrogen in liquid waste and 621
Ibs in the sludge annually for an annual production rate of 4,589 Ibs of Wyr.

accumulation of decaying wastage.
Clean up spillage on a routine basis (e.g., 7 - 10
d y interval during summer; 15-30 day interval
during winter).
* Accumulations of feed residues Reduce moisture accumulation within and
around immediate perimeter of feed storage
areas by insuring drainage away from site
and/or providing adcquale containment (e.g.,
c ,tared bin for brcwces grain and similar high
toistum grain products).
Inspect for and remove or break up accumulated
solids in filter strips around feed storage as

Mortality Management Methods
(check which method(s) are being implemented)
❑ Burial three feet beneath the surface of the ground within 24 hours after
knowledge of the death. The burial must be at least 300 feet from any flowing
scream or public body of water_ '
Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S. 106-168.7
❑ Complete incineration
❑ In the case of dead poultry only, placing in a disposal pit of a size and design
approved by the Department of Agriculture
❑ Any method which is the professional opinion of the State Veterinarian would
make possible the salvage of part of a dead animal's value without endangering
human or animal health_ - (Written approval'of the State Veterinarian must be J
attached)

Dear Mr. Connor:
Senate Bill 1217, An Act to Implement Recommendations of the Blue Ribbon Study
Commission on Agricultural Waste, enacted by the 1996 North Carolina General Assembly,
requires a certified operator for each animal waste management system that serves 250 or more
swine by January 1, 1997. The owner of each animal waste management system must submit a
designation form to the Technical Assistance and Certification Group which designates an
Operator in Charge and is countersigned by the certified operator. The enclosed form must be
submitted by January 1, 1997 for all facilities in operation as of that date. Failure to designate a
certified operator for your animal waste management system is a violation of 15A NCAC 2H
.0224 and may result in the assessment of a civil penalty.
If you have questions concerning operator training or examinations for certification, please
contact your local North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service agent or our office.
Examinations have been offered on an on -going basis in many counties throughout the state for
the past several months and will continue to be offered through December 31, 1996.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions concerning this requirement please
call Beth Buffington or Barry Huneycutt of our staff at 919n33-0026.
