Melissa and I drove through the irrigation field and up to where you bury your dead animals after we had already said goodbye to Garrison. As a part of the inspection of the irrigation field, the hydrant that had the gun on -it that day had a damaged valve knob that needs to be replaced. In addition (and Melissa discussed this with Garrison but it didn't make it onto the form), the connecting pump flange on the pond pump was cracked and was leaking. It also will need to be replaced. These notes were added to the official inspection report that I have attached to this email. If you would like for us to send you a hard copy, let me know and I'll send it your way. While we were up near your burial location, I noticed the stockpiled poultry litter. We didn't include this as a part of the inspection since it is not a part of the permit, but did want to remind you of the requirements for it: "stockpiled litter shall not be uncovered for more than 15 days." This wasn't an issue with us because we can't say for sure how long it had been up there, but we do want to help prevent any complaints coming our way regarding that. If yall have any questions or need any help on our end, please let me know. It was great to meet both of you and I look forward to working with you.

With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement for the lagoon at the Loflin Farms facility. Due to the amount of treatment volume available, the Division agrees that a sludge survey is not needed until December 31, 2019. Your next sludge survey for the lagoon at this facility should be perfonned before December 31, 2019. Please retain this letter and keep it with your farm records for reference. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please call me at (919) 807-6340 if you have any questions. Sincerely, ME FIWMW Miressa D. Garoma .

Worksheet for sludge volume and treatment volume Revised August 2008 The average thickness of the sludge layer and the thickness of the existing liquid (sludge -free) treatment zone (are determined from information on the Lagoon Sludge Survey Form (Items O and P, respectively). In this example, the average sludge layer thickness is 2.5 feet and the existing liquid treatment zone is 3.5 feet. If the lagoon has a designed sludge storage volume, see notes at end of the worksheet. The dimensions of the lagoon as measured and the side slope are needed for calculations of sludge volume and of total treatment volume. If the lagoon is a standard geometric shape, the sludge volume and treatment volume in the lagoon can be estimated by using standard equations. For approximate volumes of rectangular lagoons with constant side slope, calculate length and width at the midpoint of the layer, and multiply by layer thickness to calculate layer volume, as shown in the example. For irregular shapes, convert the total surface area to a square or rectangular shape. For exact volumes for lagoons with constant side slope, the "Prismoidal Equations" may be used.

If you re -build and rotate the house so that the end of the house is NO CLOSER to the neighbor's property line (i.e. extend the house towards the farm road) there are no issues. If you re -build and rotate the house so that the house would be CLOSER to your neighbor's property line, then the setback is to be 500 feet to the property line*----OR---- If in rebuilding, the house is rotated and is then closer to the property line, then you might want to get a signed waiverfrom the neighbor.** *An argument could be made that since the lagoon is still the closest part of the waste management system to the neighbor's property, then as long as the house is uphill/behind the lagoon then the "system" has not moved any closer. "This depends if you are on good terms with your neighbor. If you don't anticipate problems, you probably don't need it. If he/she might object later, then you should get the waiver. A key point is that the SB1217 Committee and DENR have NOT been given authority to administer the provisions of the Swine Farm Siting Act (believe it or not!). DENR's published interpretations reflect internal policies for administering the animal waste system program. We always tell folks that if there are questions regarding individual rights or responsibilities under the Act, then you should consult an attorney. In short ---you might not be in trouble with us ---but could be in trouble with your neighbor if you were sued. In general, if you follow the above policies, you should be ok. Understanding of Stocking Numbers: As long as you do not go over your 787 feeder to finish number (based on an annual average) you are still in compliance. This means that you could be at 900 hogs for awhile, then at zero.....as long as the annual average is at or below 787. The permit and the regs leave it kind of gray as to how you count the hogs (on purpose). As long as you can show me the math I'm ok. Hope this helps Dennis.

File notes from July 2001 indicate that Mr. Miller was to revise the certification and Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) to reflect the maximum number of animals that the land application area could handle based on book values for PAN production. At the time when adequate supporting documentation for a PAN reduction can be obtained and evaluated, an application for a permit modification can be submitted. Therefore, please submit a revised certification and WUP showing this reduced population using the available wetable acreage and NRCS PAN production values for feeder to finish swine (anaerobic lagoon, irrigated). Alternatively, if the required documentation for a PAN reduction has already been obtained and evaluated. Submit this information along with any revised certification and WUP for further consideration.

However an item was brought up in the supervisorial review regarding your waste analysis documentation. Please provide this additional information, so we can finally issue your permit. Please address the following by June 26, 2001: The Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) rate in the Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) appears to be generated using a waste analysis of storage pond manure. NCSU guidance recommends that an average PANT production rate be calculated using representative waste samples, at least twice per year, over a three year period. It is necessary to take these samples at different times of the year to reflect seasonal variations in PAN. In addition, application records must be supplied for the same three-year period. I have enclosed the NCSU guidance, that must be conformed to, in order for the Division to accept your actual data when calculating your dairy manure PAN. If you cannot meet this guidance, please have your technical advisor revert to NRCS book values when calculating your revised WUP. 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.
