Here is what I have on Smitherman:
1. A partially completed certification form
2. A completed surface water classification form
3. A waste management system with summary of design volumes for 8 waste storage ponds
4. Operation and Maintenance plan
5. Irrigation design, guides and maps
6. Emergency action plan along with insect, odor and mortality checklists

Here is what I am missing on Smitherm" `
1. A completed application for the exapnsion request
2. A completed nutrient managemnt plan (NMP) for the new animal numbers and operation types.
I understand Leigh has been working on the NMPs for this (99-12) and the other Yadking county farm ( Cole-Gaige, 99-5). 1 will
start the review of these two packages once I received the missing items.
Thanks a lot.

Subject: Permit Update for Shady Grove Dairy #99-12?
Leigh, JR, and Sam,
In preparation for Shady Grove's inspection I wanted to confirm a few things:
-My records indicate that designs for three additional satellite ponds have been completed and submitted to JR? JR,
do you still have this package?
-A permit application requesting expansion/construction of the new satellite structures and an increase in herd size
has NOT been received by JR?
-An updated waste plan (CAWMP) has not yet been completed to enclose in the permit application package?
So ... currently the dairy is only permitted for:
800 milk cows, 160 dry, and 75 calves.
The permit application will be for:
870 milk cows, 170 dry cows, 100 calves, 60 heifers (200-300lb.), 100 heifers (close-up bred), and 20 heifers (500-
1000 Ib.). Other animals on pasture.
Is this summary correct? Does anyone have anything to correct/update or add? Thanks,

I've finished a draft copy of Koopman's waste plan and sent it to him for review.
I've received all of Smitherman's converted soil samples. Was not able to import the cvs files produced by the lab. I will
now begin the process of matching samples to fields and then entering them one by one.

Hey Maurice,
Farm Logic has been working with Waters Lab to convert your soil samples into an NCDA index for me. Unfortunately, the
files they have sent me will not upload into my software. So, I will be entering each sample manually. They are sending me
the NCDA indexes in batches; I have two already. They are currently working on the last one now.

RE: New Waste Pond?
What I'll probably do then is add the newest tracts and start the complete redo in the new software another time. In hind's
sight, I would have done this to begin with. I didn't expect it to be so long with the software. Just wishful thinking I guess. I
apologize for being slack on my part. I'm sure the Smitherman's are mad at this point already, but I haven't heard from
them. If nothing else, I'll devote tomorrow to the cause. At least, get a rough draft or something.

I am following up on an email from Jaya loshi who is a permit writer in Raleigh. JR wrote:
"I have a waste structure plan from Sam Bingham for the Shady Grove Farm ( 99-12) expansion but no application or
waste plan yet. "
Our question is, do you (Maurice, Tim, and Sterling) wish to add this structure to your existing permit so that it may
be retrofitted/built so you may use it? If so, an application would need to be completed and submitted, along with a
copy of the revised waste plan that would include the new waste structure.
Just let me know what you would like to do. Thanks for the update,

Melissa,
Have them fill out this application and include a summary statement as to how they dispose of the waste and
whether they still have the fields listed on the permit available. Yes, they did submit a plan in 2002. They can attest
that nothing has changed. I will include that plan with this package then.
2. 1 still have a couple of incomplete/waiting packages form WSRO. Cole-Gaige Farm sent a waste plan with expanded
numbers but no application or request to do so. I email Leigh Calloway with the blank application. But nothing is
here yet.
have a waste structure plan from Sam Bingham for the Shady Grove Farm ( 99-12) expansion but no application or

4. 1 guess you already are working with Miressa on the garland McCollum Farm. I think the consensus at the time of
the site visit you, Christine, and I did was to have them pay back fees before we could consider the zero animal

Subject: Frac Tank Use at Shady Grove Dairy
Robinson, Jeff <[e-mail]>
Sam,
In looking at the non -discharge and animal waste regs and permits, along with input from our Central
Office, here are the requirements for using a frac tank for staging waste at Shady Grove Dairy. If the
permittee does not think they can abide by these requirements, then I guess we are back to square one
but I think the requirements below are reasonable. Per our Central Office, the use of these tanks is on a
case by case basis though... not blanket approval for everyone. Do you want to go over the requirements
with the Smitherman's or should I?
1. "Staging area — 14 days (our non-discharge/residual permits draw the line between staging areas
and offsite storage at 14 days without written Division approval). Anything more than 14 days would be
considered "storage" and must meet the requirements of a certified waste structure.
2. Tank must be located in or adjacent to the application field on the permittee's property so that the
spillage that occurs when transferring or loading waste happens in the application area and not next to

of-way. This is consistent with ND permits.
3. There MUST be a spill control plan. This could mean that the area is graded so that a spill would flow

Field Calibration
See "Field Calibration Procedures for Animal Wastewater Application Equipment" for Hose -
Drag Wastewater Equipment for step by step procedure for calibration.
Safety Precautions
See safety precautions.provided or available from manufacture of the Cadman manure boom
applicator. This system requires a large tractor to pull.hose.and system operates under high
pressure. An experienced operator is required to operate system. Working or standing near
hose drag system and pumps could be life threating. Shut down system when near supply lines,
hoses and applicator.
Monitoring during Pumping Activities
Pumping activitiesshall be monitored closely especially, during the start-up phase to•insure:no
spills or discharges occur. Each time hose=drag system is started, a four wheeler or vehicle:will'
be used -to check all hydrants and the.pipeline to insure that everything is working properly.
The pump is equipped with automatic shut-off device to minimize risk of discharge in the event
of a pipe failure.
Waste will either be pumped directly out of a waste pond to hose -drag system or waste will: be
truck hauled to a frac tank, then pumped from the frac tank. Typically frac tank'will'be filled up
and tanker trucks filled up when land application begins. Hose drag system and tanker trucks
will run continuously until frac tank is empty. Then the start-up process is repeated.
Requirements for using Frac Tank
1. Staging area —14 days (staging areas can only be used a maximum of 14 days without
written Division approval).
2. Tank must be located in or adjacent to the application field on the permittee's property so
that the spillage that occurs when transferring or loading waste happens in the application area

field would be the preferred location so if there is a spill, there should be a crop available to
slow down the run-off. Tank may not be located in a public right-of-way.

3. SPILL CONTROL PLAN
Locate Frac Tank Staging Area in the application field such that a spill would flow away from any
stream, ditch, waterway, etc. Any spill shall flow into the application field. If natural
topography does not allow this type of location, grading of site maybe required. All spills shall
be spread at agronomic rates in application field. Box scrape or scrape blade will be likely be
used to spread any spillage in application field.
4. Frac Tank shall not located in 100 yr floodplain. All staging areas shall be located significantly
away from streams, waterways and floodplains (i.e. greater than 1W).
5. Prevent storm water or freshwater inflow into the tank.
6.'Meet setbacks -1W from well, 201Y,from a residence; not on other property or public right-
of-way
7. Tank is covered.
8. Prevent leachate and spillage run-off — Any leachate or spillage shall be cleaned up
immediately (same day) and spread at agronomic rates in application field. Usually prior to
moving frac tank, the tank will be cleaned out by using a hose from waste tanker and agitating
the waste water and settled solids in tank. Agitated waste is land applied through drag hose.
Never enter a Frac tank for agitating or cleaning unless properly ventilated and wearing the
proper safety equipment.
9. The frac tank shall only -be used to spread animal waste and parlor water from the dairy. The
tank shall be designed to hold liquids and used in a manner intended by the manufacture.
10: Contact Information shall be printed on the tank ... name, phone, etc.

11. Keep valves and piping working properly. Never enter a Frac tank for agitating or cleaning
unless properly ventilated and wearing the proper safety equipment.
12. Must maintain records ofthe date, amount and location (Gypsie, Smithtown, Butner Mill)
of the transfer of waste to the tank. Use animal waste form to document this information.
Agitation
Agitation is the most critical operation in maintaining available storage capacity in waste
storage ponds. Agitation of manure solids re -suspends settled solids and ensures that most or
all of the manure will flow to the pump inlet. Additionally, the agitation homogenizes the
manure mixture and provides a more consistent nutrient content. Samples shall be obtained

for nutrient analysis after waste pond is -Well mixed. Prior analysis will be used to estimate the
present analysis.
Agitation of manure storage facilities releases gases that may increase odor levels and present a
health hazard. Consideration shall be given to weather and wind conditions, time of day, and
day of week to minimize the possibility of odor conflicts while agitating.
System Start Up
Hook-up, hose to applicator on tractor and pull to end of field: Crack valve at pump and slowly
remove air from supply lines. Once air is removed, bring system up to operating pressure and
flowrate. See monitoring during pumping activities above and manufacture recommendations
of hose -drag applicator for safety precautions.
System Shut Down
Tractor operator will let pump operator know to close off system. Approximately 5 minutes
before field is completely covered with waste, the pump operator shall shut-off pump. flow
from applicator should stop within 5 minutes.

RE: Frac Tank Use at Shady Grove Dairy
Sam ... forgot to also add the following from my notes ... see below in blue.
1. "Staging area —14 days (our non-discharge/residual permits draw the line between staging areas and offsite
storage at 14 days without written Division approval). Anything more than 14 days would be considered
"storage' and must meet the requirements of a certified waste structure.
2. Tank must be located in or adjacent to the application field on the permittee's property so that the spillage that
occurs when transferring or loading waste happens in the application area and not next to the roadway, driveway, sidewalk,
stream, etc. Inside the application field would be better so if there is a spill, there should be a crop available to
slow down the run-off. Tank may not be located in a public right-of-way. This is consistent with ND permits.
3. There MUST be a spill control plan. This could mean that the area is graded so that a spill would flow away from
any streams (see a topo map). Consistent with AW and ND permits.
4. Not located in 100 yr floodplain (ND and animal permits). Probably not an issue in this case but must confirm
tank will not be in flood plain. Tank locations should be noted on a map.
5. Grading or other measures to prevent storm water or freshwater inflow (ND permits). Probably not an issue
here.
6. Meet setbacks (from ND and animals). 100' from well, 200' from a residence.
7. Must be covered (ND). Tanks are usually covered so probably not an issue in this case.
8. Prevent leachate and spillage run-off (ND). Describe how the tank is to be cleaned -out.
9. The tanks must be designed to hold liquids and are being used in a manner intended by the
manufacture. Wastes should be of the type and nature of those generated on the farm (i.e. liquid cattle waste and
parlor water). Consistent with ND and AW permits.
10. Contact Info must be on tank ... name, phone, etc. (ND requirement)
11. Any anticipated maintenance needed? (ND requirements)
12. Must maintain records of the date, amount and location (Gypsie, Smithtown, Butner Mill) of the transfer of waste to
the tank (ND and AW). There is an AW form for this already.

Subject: Frac Tank Use at Shady Grove Dairy
Sam,
In looking at the non -discharge and animal waste regs and permits, along with input from our Central Office, here
are the requirements for using a frac tank for staging waste at Shady Grove Dairy. If the permittee does not think
they can abide by these requirements, then I guess we are back to square one but I think the requirements below
are reasonable. Per our Central Office, the use of these tanks is on a case by case basis though ... not blanket
approval for everyone. Do you want to go over the requirements with the Smitherman's or should I?

Subject: RE: Emergency Waste Storage
These are great and I would encourage there use. Provided that:
• They are located on the permittee's property (Christine look at the setbacks established in 02T .0500 for treatment
and storage units are these applicable, or are there any other siting restrictions we need to tell them about. This is
likely not a big deal since they would most likely locate them adjacent to the pond).
• The tanks are designed to hold liquids and are being used in a manner intended by the manufacture. (No old
circular tanks laid on the side propped up against the berm using railroad ties.)
• These are temporary. We should establish how long the waste can stay in the tank. (6 months? 1 year?)
• Demonstrated a way to get the tank cleaned out.
• The have a spill control plan
• We provide written approval for the tanks (this means we need written request to use the tanks that includes the
stuff mentioned above)

There may be others things we need, but I encourage us to keep it as simple as we can.

Subject: Emergency Waste Storage
Importance: High
Christine, Some of our farmers want to use a frac tank for temporarily storing animal waste until they can get to a
field. We already allow these for temporary storage of residuals. See Patrick's photo below. There is a place in
Charlotte that carries these. While they are only 20K-30K gal. this would help A LOT up here since most (not all) of
our waste structures are smaller and honey wagons are the norm. It could make the difference between just
"high freeboard" and a "discharge." Please check with Jay, Debra, Tom, or whomever and ... I know you are
swamped.... but please get back to me ASAP. Here's a link:

Below is a photo of two frac tanks. You see a tanker truck in the background offloading waste into one of the frac tanks. For
biosolids these are typically used for temporary situations such as staging areas at a land application site and are not used

The layout as shown has the following impacts on the North waste pond.
Fills in 1800 sq. ft. .
At 12' deep that is 22,000 cu ft reduction
To regain on south side (west of indicated sand stack area) would require
enlarging by 25' that way.
If there are any questions just let me know.

hey,
next time you are planning on going out to shady grove dairy, can i tag along and do a 401 permit
inspection? basically i would look to see that the pipe they put in wasn't longer than what we
approved. or, you could document that for me. i need to do 50 compliance inspections this year on
projects that received 401s and figured that'd be a close/easy one.
thanks,

Dear Ms Knight,
This letter is in response to the evidence of a past discharge from the emergency
spillway of the waste pond of the right free -stall barn at Shady Grove Dairy Inc. This
summer we initiated sand in our free -stall bams not realizing the consequence of the sand
build up on one end of the lagoon. The build up of sand on one end of the lagoon
resulted in seepage of 20 feet or less into the emergency spillway. This had no
implications to waters of the state. In addition to the sand build up, we had an
unseasonably wet summer with fourteen plus inches of rain in the months of June and
July, which impacted the problem even further. Upon realization of the problem,
immediate action was taken. Initially, a civil engineer, Mr. Michael Fisher with the
Natural Resources Conservation Service was contacted. He visited our dairy on
December 5, 2006. He proposed a sand separator and additional manure storage space.
We are anticipating that these proposals will alleviate the problem. We have also
contacted a contract manure hauler in the event of a near waste spillage in the future.
Please contact me with further questions or problems at 336-699-5262.
Sincerely,
Maurice Smitherman
December 5, 2006

East Bend, NC 27018
SUBJECT: Notice of Violation/Notice of Intent to Enforce
Shady Grove Dairy, #99-12
Yadkin County
Dear Mr. Smitherman:
As you recall, staff of the Division of Soil and Water Conservation (DSWC) performed an announced
Operation Review at your dairy on November 3, 2006. As a result of this Review, it was required that a Notice
of Referral be sent to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) describing the following animal waste management
violations:
Evidence of a past discharge from the emergency spillway of the waste pond of the "right-freestall
bam" was observed. Although the waste traveled only 20 feet, with no impacts to waters of the State,
the failure to maintain waste levels below the maximum liquid mark is a violation of the Cattle
Waste Management Permit (Section V,, #2). Our records indicate that you were assessed $1648.35
in January 2003 for previously "failing to maintain the liquid level specified in the CAWMP."
2. Additionally, the Division of Water Quality received no communication from you regarding the high
waste level stated above. Failure to notify the Division regarding inadequate storage capacity is a
violation of Section III, #13 of the Permit.
3. As stated in the Operations Review Report, the on -farm waste level records do not accurately
indicate that the level of waste had been into the spillway of the right-freestall pond. Failure to
monitor and record weekly waste levels is once again, a violation of the Permit (Section III, #2).
The WSRO is proposing an enforcement action against you for the above referenced violations. If you
have justification that this violation was caused by circumstances beyond your control, or you have an
explanation that you wish to present, please respond in writing within ten (10) days following receipt of this
notice. The WSRO will review your response prior to proceeding further. In the absence of any justification, the
Regional Office will recommend that an enforcement action be taken immediately. Be advised that North
Carolina General Statutes provide for penalties of up to $25,000 per day per violation as well as criminal
penalties for violations of state environmental laws and regulations.

RE: Shady Grove Dairy, Yadkin County
Dear BJ:
Today, I visited the Shady Grove Dairy with Jason Walker and Billy Sheets
concerning a request for assistance on the construction of a waste storage pond. We met
with Maurice Smitherman at the dairy.
Ms. Smitherman indicated that they were looking into a solids separator for the
waste currently going into the structure that Larry Graham, PE, certified. The structure
receives waste from a 200 head capacity free stall barn. They will need a waste storage
pond for the liquids removed from the slung. He also indicated that they would like to
modify that structure so that approximately half would house the separator and the solids
and the other half would continue to receive the slurry until it goes through the separator.
Any physical or functional changes in the structure must be approved and certified by
Larry Graham or another qualified professional engineer registered in North Carolina.
There is a draw near the existing structure that appears to receive most of the
rainfall runoff from the milk parlor, the feed building, two trench silos as well as free stall
barns. I do not believe it to be a feasible location for a waste storage pond. There is also
a pasture area immediately behind the structure. This would be the more suitable
location for a waste storage pond. The majority of the pond would be dug with some
embankment to divert clean water runoff. The principle concern I have with the pasture
site is that the liquids will likely have to go through some type of lift station to be
pumped into the waste storage pond. There would need to be a complete survey and soils
investigation of the site to determine the maximum capacity that could be provided. The
soils investigation will have to be done with a backhoe to ensure that adequate depth can
be acquired and to determine if a soils liner will be needed -
Prior to completing a survey and soils investigation the following information
would need to be provided to your office:
• the type of solids separator to be used and how will it operate including how the
waste will go into it and how the liquids be transferred out;

documentation from the separator manufacturer as to the percentage or volume of
the liquid to be removed;
a copy of Larry Graham's or other consulting engineer's plan/design to divide the
capacity in the existing structure to provide storage for the separator, the solids
and the slurry including any possible expansion of the structure.
Since the dairy's certification, permit and waste utilization plan will have to be
modified before these changes can be fully implemented, I would recommend that the
Division of Water Quality be contacted during the planning stages to ensure a smooth
transition.
If I can be of additional assistance in this matter, please let me know.

Re: Volumetric evaluation and technical specialist certifications for the new covered animal
waste storage basin at the Shady Grove Dairy - Yadkin County. DWQ Facility I.D. 4 99-12.
Dear Mr. Smitherman,
The volumetric evaluation of the above referenced storage structure is now complete according
to the task given Environmental Engineering Services. This evaluation concluded that your new
basin is sufficiently large to supply between 52 and 61 days of animal waste storage for the 200
milk cows in question. This length of storage assumes you start from an empty basin. I have
also assumed you can transfer animal waste from this basin to another manure storage structure
on the farm (or land apply it) upon need. In other words, the basin is not sufficiently large for
long term manure storage. Based on my evaluation, I am prepared to send in the proper
certification forms to DWQ so they will have the certification paperwork on record. But please
keep in mind that this basin does not fall into a "neat' category of comparison structures, thus
requiring me to perform the certification in the most basic terms.
Information is being sent to the following persons:
• You are receiving two complete copies of the certified volumetric evaluation report enclosed
with this letter. I am also sending you a copy of the technical certifications for this basin.
• Mr. B. J. Cook with the Yadkin County NRCS will get one copy of the complete package
and a copy of the technical specialist certifications.
• The Raleigh office of DWQ will get one copy of the complete package and the original
technical specialist certifications.
• Ms. Melissa Rosebrock with DWQ in Winston Salem will get one copy of the complete
package and a copy of the technical specialist certifications.
The following items are of particular importance. However do not fail to read the entire
document to know its content.
1. I have estimated you have between 52 and 61 days of storage available to you within this
basin, assuming the values you gave me about animal numbers, their hours in confinement,
etc. are correct.
2. Because of the small volume of storage available in your basin, you must always be on top of
waste management. Wet seasons do come and can catch even the best farmer off -guard.

P.O. BOX 426, ABERDEEN, N.C. 28315 • PHONE [phone] • FAX [phone]

3. It is very important that you keep your stormwater channels in good working order. Should
these ever fail to carry the water from a big storm around and away from your basin, the
basin could quickly fill and overflow.
4. You will need to install a high water marker inside the basin ASAP and keep the
water/manure levels below this level. I know you are familiar with this activity since you
have other waste storage ponds at your farm. Your high water level marker needs to be about
9.5 or 10 inches below the overflow level in your basin or about 62 inches above the deepest
portion of the basin floor. This 9.5 or 10 inches is called your normal freeboard. You can
also use Exhibit 5 to help set your water level markers. Please be very mindful of the
freeboard requirements (i.e. leave room for at least two 25 year - 24 hour storms) and do not
let routine water levels encroach into this freeboard.
After reviewing the enclosed information let me know if you have questions. Thank -you for
your time in this matter and allowing Environmental Engineering Services to be of assistance.

specific Comments
l . Shady Grove Dairy, Inc. built a new covered waste transfer basin to temporarily store the waste from
200 dairy cattle. This is an existing dairy operation and the 200 cows under consideration are part of
the total 600 head mentioned in the existing Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
2. The farmer's existing CAWMP will more or less remain as is, with the exception of adding the new
covered waste transfer basin to the package. The waste in this basin shall be transferred other on -
farm waste storage ponds or be land applied when in need of removal. EES has not evaluated or
altered any other aspect of the existing CAWMP.
3. The new covered waste transfer basin volume has been evaluated by Larry F. Graham, P.E. with
Environmental Engineering Services (EES) using 75% of the waste from 200 cows (i.e. cows
confined 18 hours per day). The values for waste production, rainfall accumulations, etc. are
considered average values and were obtained from NRCS publications, NCSU publications, etc.
4. Some information on odor control BMP's and insect control BMP's and Emergency Action Plan
BMP's associated with animal waste storage facilities was presented in the EES design package.
However, the engineer is not replacing the existing certifications in these areas.
Mr. Tim Smitherman will sign a plan receipt acknowledgment form within the next few weeks and send it
back to me. 1 will forward a copy of this acknowledgment form to your attention once it arrives.
Should you have questions please call my office.

Hi Melissa --
Thanks for the NPDES permit question reply.
As to the Smitherman job, here is a quick run-down.
1. 1 visited his farm back in July. That day he gave me the verbal OK to collect topo data on the new
storage pond. I followed up this field work with a written work authorization for him to sign, giving me the
official go-ahead to do the work, payment terms, etc.
2. 1 got the signed work authorization from Mr. Smitherman about November 3. During that time I did not
proceed with my part of the work.
3. When I finally got the work authorization from Mr. Smitherman, I was in the middle of a large CAWMP
that needed to be completed ASAP. That plan is now complete.
4. This week 1 have dusted off the Smitherman data and am working to get it all put together into a
package. I hope to have it all put together within the next 30 days.
I wish we had this project behind us, but at least it is on the front bumer. Let me know if there are any
questions.

SUBJECT: Notice of Violation
Notice of Intent to Enforce
Shady Grove Dairy, #99-12
Yadkin County
Dear Mr. Smitherman:
As you recall, staff of the Division of Soil and Water Conservation (DSWC) conducted an announced
` Operation Review at your dairy on May 15, 2003. As a result of this Review, it was required that a Notice of
Referral be sent to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) describing the following animal waste management
concerns and violations:
1. Inadequate waste storage volume was observed in the left free -stall waste pond (above the maximum
storage level and two inches from overflowing). Inadequate waste storage volume was also observed
in the right free -stall waste pond (above the maximum storage level and 15 inches from
overflowing).
Failure to maintain the waste volume below the maximum storage volume is a violation of the
Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP), NCGS 143-2I5.70E, and the deemed
permit. Our records indicate that you were previously assessed by the Division for "failing to
maintain the liquid level specified in the CAWMP" in January of this year. A review of our files also
indicates that you received a certified letter requesting you to provide the Division with an evaluation
of the reasons for May 2003 freeboard deficiencies and a strategy to prevent future freeboard
deficiencies (see "Request for Information" letter dated June 12, 2003). This information was to be
used to determine the appropriate compliance enforcement actions to be taken. To date, we have not
received the requested documentation.
2. Maximum liquid markers need to be visible.
Failure to install highly visible markers is a violation of the CAWMP and deemed permit. Our
records document previous Notices of Violation for failure to have visible markers in January 2000
and November 2001 (see also, October 2000 and December 2002 DWQ Compliance Inspections and
June 2001 Operation Review).
3. Waste pond embankments need to be mowed.
Failure to keep the lagoon/waste storage pond areas mowed and accessible is a violation of the
CAWMP and deemed permit. Operation Reviews for June 2001 and June 2002 also document that
the waste pond embankments needed to be mowed. ©FQ

4. Soil analyses were not available for those fields receiving animal waste in 2002.
Failure to test the soil at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied is a
violation of the CAWMP, NCGS 143-215.10C, and deemed permit. Please note that the failure to
maintain adequate records was previously brought to your attention in a November 2001 Notice of
Violation (see 2002 DWQ Compliance Inspection, also).
Crops in fields 2, 3, and 4 of Tract 4580 were not consistent with the Certified Animal Waste
Management Plan (CAWMP).
Failure to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the type
of receiving crop is a violation of the CAWMP and deemed permit.
The Winston-Salem Regional Office intends to pursue an enforcement action against you for the above
referenced violations. If you have justification that these violations were -caused -by circumstances beyond your
control, or you have an explanation that you wish to present, please respond in writing within ten (10) days
following receipt of this Notice. The Winston-Salem Regional Office will review your response and forward it
to the Water Quality Section Chief with the enforcement package. Please address your response to my attention
at the address shown on the letterhead.

R C�'�;Lii ic:l Office
THIS MATTER came before the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions of the
Environmental Management Commission,. pursuant to N.C.G.S. §143-215.6A and §143B-282.1,
on 10 July 2003, upon recommendation of the Director of the Division of Water Quality for entry
of a final decision on the assessment of civil penalties and investigation costs against Tim
Smitherman in the total amount of $1,648.35 ($1,500.00 plus $148.35 investigation costs). Mr.
Smitherman's request for remission was presented to the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions
for consideration. The Division of Water Quality was represented by Steve Mauney, Regional
Supervisor in the Winston-Salem Regional Office, and Tim Smitherman represented himself.
Having considered the record, arguments of the parties, and the factors set forth in
N.C.G.S. § 143B-282.1(b) and (c), the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions finds the facts
contained in the Director's Findings and Decision and Assessment of Civil Penalties as stipulated
by Mr. Smitherman, that the Findings of fact support the Conclusions of Law, and that the
Director properly applied the criteria set forth in N.C.G.S. § 14313-282.1 in determining the
amount of the civil penalties. Pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 14313-282.1(c), the Committee further finds
that there are grounds for remission or reduction of the penalties assessed by the Director for

M
violation of N.C.G.S. § 143-215.1 for failure to maintain the proper liquid level in a waste storage
pond on December 4, 2002. The Committee finds that Mr. Smitherman has had no previous civil
penalty and that he promptly abated the violation to avoid environmental damage.
Upon duly made motion and vote, the Committee finds that the civil penalty assessment
should be reduced by $ 1,200.00 and upheld in the amount of $ 448.35 ($300.00 civil penalty plus
$148.35 investigation costs) on the condition that Mr. Smitherman remove the concrete pad and
holding basin at his Shady Grove Dairy by 1 October 2003 and comply with his waste
management plan, otherwise the full amount of the original civil penalty in the amount of
$1,648.35 will be upheld.
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED:
1. That the assessment of civil penalties and investigation costs against Mr.
Smitherman in the amount of $448.35 is AFFIRMED upon full compliance with the following
conditions:
a. that Mr. Smitherman remove the concrete pad and holding basin at Shady Grove
Dairy by 1 October 2003 and comply with his waste management plan.
b. that failure to comply with the foregoing condition a. will result in the full
$1,648.35 civil penalty and investigation costs being due and immediately payable
to the Department.
2. That this Final Decision and Order be served upon Tim Smitherman and the
amount of $448.35 be paid to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources within thirty
days of 1 October 2003. However, if Mr. Smitherman fails to demonstrate to the satisfaction of
-2-

the Department that he has complied with the terms of this Final Decision and Order, in which
case the amount of $1, 648.35 shall be paid to the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources within thirty days of 1 October 2003.
This theZ��day of July, 2002.

Inadequate Freeboard
Shady Grove Dairy, #99-12

Dear Mr. Smitherman:
June 12, 2003
CERTIFIED MAH, 7001 2510 0001 4778 5642
RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED
On May 15, 2003 a representative of the Division of Soil and Water Conservation informed the Division
of Water Quality (DWQ) that there was inadequate freeboard in two of the waste storage ponds serving this
facility. At the time of the call, the waste level of the left free -stall waste pond was in the structural freeboard
and only two inches from overflowing. The waste level of the right free -stall pond was in the storm storage and
reported to be only 15 inches.
This lack of adequate freeboard is in non-compliance with the Certified Animal Waste Management
Plan (CAWMP), deemed permit, and NCGS 143-215.10E. This non-compliance is also subject to an
appropriate enforcement action by DWQ. This action can consist of one or more of the following: a Notice of
Violation (NOV); a civil or criminal enforcement action; a court ordered injunction; and/or a requirement to
apply for coverage under an individual permit. The.action chosen will be based on complete evaluation of all
factors that resulted in the inadequate freeboard; the actions taken to restore the needed freeboard; and the
actions being proposed to prevent the problem from reoccurring .
To assist us in our review, please provide the Winston-Salem Regional Office with an evaluation of the
reasons for the freeboard deficiency(s) and a strategy to prevent future freeboard defrciency(s). This evaluation
and strategy must include but is not limited to the following: .
Current Freeboard levels
Freeboard levels in the lagoons for the previous 12 months
Spraying records for the past 12 months
Rainfall records for this site (if available)
Cropping system and Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) specified in the CAWMP. If the cropping system
was not in compliance with the facility's CAWMP, provide details of the cropping system in place for
the past 12 months.

SUBJECT: Operation Review Notice of Referral
Shady Grove Dairy
Facility No. 99-12
Yadkin County
Dear Mr. Smitherman,
On May 15, 2003, an Operation Review was conducted of Shady Grove Dairy, facility no. 99-12. This Review, undertaken
in accordance with G.S. 143-215.1013, is one of two visits scheduled for all registered livestock operations during the 2003
calendar year.
During the operation review, the following items were noted:
• The waste level of the left free -stall waste pond was in the structural freeboard at approximately two inches.
• The waste level of the right free -stall waste pond was in the storm storage at approximately 15 inches.
• Maximum liquid markers need to be visible and be graduated from the lowest point of the dam.
• The waste pond embankments need to be mowed.
• The 2002 soil analyses were not available.
• The crops in field 2, 3, and 4 of Tract 4580 are not consistent with the waste plan.
It was for these reasons that your operation was referred to the Division of Water Quality for further investigation and
possible enforcement action. G.S. 143-215.10E requires me to notify the Division of Water Quality and the owner/operator of
these observed violations.
A copy of the operation review report is enclosed for your information. Site findings and recommended corrective actions as
discussed are noted in the comment sections.
Please remember that in order for your facility to be in compliance with environmental regulations, animal waste cannot be
discharged into the waters of the State, and the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and disposal systems must be properly
sized, maintained and operated under the responsible charge of a certified operator.

The left back waste storage pond is within the structural freeboard level at approximately two inches below the top of dam.

ost likely be required for lowering the two back waste ponds to the maximum liquid level. Contact your technical specialist
r help with these plans.
Could not locate the 2002 soil analysis. The 12-30-02 waste analysis could not be located with the other waste analyses.
:)me of the Fall waste applications had the wrong waste analysis used. Fields 2,3,and 4 of tract 4580 are Fescue and rye
ass pasture, the waste plan lists small grain and corn silage. Could not locate a maximum liquid level marker in any waste
orage pond. The waste storage pond embankments need to be mowed for easy visual inspection and to deter vectors.
Facility has a certification for 600 head now.

Dear Mr. Lewis:
The Civil Penalty charged to Shady Grove Dairy is just too much. There are several
reasons why I feel this way. The pond involved is not a waste storage facility. It only
collects some runoff from an old concrete lot that was constructed a long time ago by my
father. The total capacity is around 6 truckloads. The nitrogen content of this water is
less than 1 % and no overflow reached the state's water. There was no clean-up cost
involved We have never been charged with any violations before. After your
representative observed the seepage, a pump was borrowed and two truckloads were
hauled to a lagoon within 1 day. This was done during a 6" snowstorm. This is probably
no excuse for this problem, but you guys have no idea how hard we worked to get our
regular lagoons pumped and hauled during all the wet weather we had in October and
November. And we cannot afford your penalty considering how bad milk prices are.

SUBJECT: Animal Waste Violations
Shady Grove Dairy, #99-12
Yadkin County
Dear Mr. Smitherman:
This letter is in response to questions that arose during your December 4, 2002 compliance inspection
and subsequent phone conversation with me on January 8, 2003. This correspondence is to clarify what water
quality violations exist at your facility and what needs to be done to bring Shady Grove Dairy into compliance.
I. Water Quality Violations:
1. You have two waste storage structures that are not incorporated into your Certified Animal
Waste Management'Plan (CAWMP)'dated May 15, 2002. One of the two structures in question
is a small waste holding pond, just below the new milk parlor, that receives a small amount of
run-off from the milk barn lot. As you recall, this waste structure was overflowing during your
compliance inspection and resulted in a civil penalty assessment. You also stated during the
inspection that you did not have access to the waste storage structure due to construction of the
new milk parlor.
2. Another, uncertified structure, is being used as a wet -stack to store animal waste from the newest
freestall bam. This wet -stack is roofed, and has a loosely packed earthen berm pushed around its
sides. At the time of your compliance inspection, the animal waste in this new structure was only
18 inches from overflowing the earthen berm.
IThe right-freestall waste storage structure still lacks a maximum liquid level marker.
4. On the date of the compliance inspection, there were no records to document the Fall 2002
animal waste applications.
11. Required Corrective Actions:
I. The waste in the smallest waste storage structure needs to be pumped out and land -applied
according to your CAWMP. At least 24 inches of freeboard must be maintained at all times.

2. The smallest waste storage structure needs to be closed out per NRCS standards as directed in
your closure plan dated 5/12/02. If not closed out, this structure must have a maximum liquid
marker installed and access must be available to this structure at all times.
3. If the smallest waste storage structure is not going to be closed, then it must also be incorporated
into your CAWMP (see steps for certification of design and installation below).
4. The new wet stack must be incorporated into your CAWMP by a technical specialist (MRCS,
SWCD, Cooperative Extension, professional engineer, etc.). Before incorporating this structure
into the existing CAWMP, the design for this new storage system must first be certified by a
professional engineer (PE) (see attached Animal Waste Management Plan Certification section
H.A.). Secondly, the installation of the new storage system must also be certified by a PE (see
certification form section III.A.). A PE is now required because the new system was not designed
or installed according to NRCS standards. Note -that, if the new wet -stack cannot be
incorporated into the CAWMP, then the structure may NOT be used for the storage of
animal waste.
V/5. A maximum liquid level marker must be installed immediately on the right-freestall waste
storage structure.
v/ 6. Animal waste application records for August through December 2002 are to be submitted to our
office for review. Also, any waste analyses results for this period are to be submitted as well.
If you have any questions regarding this correspondence or other water quality issues, please contact me
at [phone] ext. 265.

SUBJECT: Notice of Violation
Compliance Inspection
Shady Grove Dairy, #99-12
Yadkin County
Dear Mr. Smitherman:
On November 2, 2001 Melissa Rosebrock of the Division of Water Quality's Winston-Salem Regional
Office performed a compliance inspection at the Miller Brothers Farm in Yadkin County. While most farm
operations appeared to be improved since the last inspection, Staff noted some recordkeeping violations and
other concerns that still warrant your immediate attention. A copy of the inspection is enclosed for your review.
The following items should be addressed immediately:
1. A plant available nitrogen (PAN) balance needs to be maintained for all fields that have
received animal waste. Specifically, forms IRR-2, SLD-2, and SLR-2 need to be maintained.
You should also use "usable acres" in performing these calculations. Since a PAN balance
was not calculated for any of the waste application fields, we cannot verify that an
overapplication did not occur.
2. Tract 6018, which received animal waste this past year, is not listed in the Certified Animal
Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) for "Solids Application." Please contact your technical
specialist.
3. Additionally, the SLR-1 form should be labeled so that the corresponding waste sample result
may be matched to the appropriate waste storage pond.
Note that failure to maintain adequate records as described above is a violation of NCGS 143-
215.1, the CAWMP, and deemed permit. Be advised that North Carolina General Statutes provide for
penalties of up to $25,000 per day per violation as well as criminal penalties for violations of state
environmental laws and regulations.

Regarding the issue of keeping proper waste application records, I see no problem with
maintaining than, as you would like.
Other issues:
*Nancy Keith has been contacted about the small waste pond and has accounted for it.
*Fencing which should be completed will reduce the area around the calving barn
by April I.
*Runoff from feeding area will be directed though a grassed waterway that will be
completed by May 1.
*I do not place the markers around the waste storage ponds, so I can't help you
there. The soil conservation guys have been told about it.
*Keeping the cattle confined to fenced areas is no problem if the state could be
reasonable in the amount of land that is fenced off. In my case the dry -cow or
milking cow pastures are fine. But the heifer pastures'has probably 15 acres of
good land fenced off. In July of this past year the weeds and grass in some of
this area was so thick I couldn't walk through it. It looked terrible. Basically
I had a choice of spraying a lot of pesticides or letting the 40 heifers into this
Area for 2 to 3 weeks. Which do you think was the best for water quality?
If you could help me with this issue. I would appreciate it.

Yadkin County
Dear Mr. Smitherman:
Ms. Melissa Rosebrock and Mr. Abner Braddy of this Office conducted a
compliance inspection at your facility on December 22, 1999. While reviewing the
files, it was noted that the Spring 1999 waste application records were not available.
This deficiency was also noted during review by the Division of Soil and Water
Conservation in July of 1999. Failure to have complete records is a violation of
North Carolina General Statue 143-215.1 OC.
Our staff also noted the following:
- Cattle were not being confined to the fenced areas. Evidence of cattle waste
was discovered on the bank of the stream and no broken fences or wire were
found.
- A small waste holding pond that receives a small amount of runoff from the --
milk barn lot needs to be accounted for in your Waste Utilization Plan (see
July 1999 review).
- The area around the calving barn was greatly eroded and denuded. We
Suggest you contact your local NRCS office for assistance.in developing an,
alternative loafing area.
- Runoff from the feed stall area was running directly to the stream. Any non -
permitted discharge of any type of wastewater to waters of the State is a
violation of NCGS 143-215.1.

i)emplianco En.
Since the adoption of State Regtdations (15A NCAC 2HA217(a) (1) (E). I have requested clarification of this law
from m} local Farm Sen icc Agencc in Yadkimille. With their help I have established taccons and proper ;waste
handling facilities. When I requested information about fencing off sreams. etc. I was told that only blue line
streams would require fencing. I don't think there are any of these streams on our farm.
In October of 1997 someone from vour department (I believe) came by our farm together with B.J. Cook of FSA in
Yadkinville. They made no effort to identify themselves or state what their purpose was. Thev proceeded to
wander around several areas. As I know Mr. Cook pretty well. I was not greatly concerned and continued working
in the farm shop. It was disappointing to see them leave without even mc' ine the time to confer with me. NVhen I
ask Mr. Cook about this occurrence two days later. he said that thev were in a hurrv. Two weeks later. I received a
certified letter from FSA stating that I was to fence off every stream and dmw on our farm. I then contacted Mr.
Cook to seek clarification as to what a draw was and to exactly whom we were dealing with. He referred me to
Mike Mickey of Division of Water Quality in Winston-Salem. One week later Mr. Mickey came to our farm. but
he said that his purpose in being there was only to inspect the lagoons to make sure they were not overfull. I
related to him that we would not be in compliance by December 31. 1997. to which he showed very little concern.
My problem is that one group of cows that we milk does not have sufficient shade provided for them that is
completely away from the streams or draws in our pasture. Hot weather is very stressful for daftT cows. What I
would like to do is construct a new shade or housing facility for these cows at a cost around $75 000. However this
will take take. probably 1 or 2 years. After this construction. we would then use cost -share funds available to us to
finish fencing stock trauls and a stream crossing.
If someone from vour department ever has theme tote, please contact me and maybe even consider meemig with me
to go over these issues.
Sincerely.
Tim Smitherman

Shady Grove Dairy Transfa Basin
February 2004
VOLUMETRIC EVALUATION OF A COVERED DAIRY WASTE TRANSFER
' BASIN FOR THE SHADY GROVE DAIRY
' NOTES ABOUT THIS PROJECT:
Shady Grove Dairy, Inc. is well established dairy near the town of East Bend, N.C. During the first half of
2003, Mr. Tim Smitherman (owner of Shady Grove Dairy) built a small covered animal waste
' holding/transfer basin for the waste from a free stall barn located on the dairy. The new transfer basin
was not designed by the NRCS, Cooperative Extension Service, or Environmental Engineering Services
(EES), but was installed according to a design developed by Mr. Smitherman. The details within this
' report will describe the new basin and its volumetric capacity. EES has not been involved with the design
of any of the waste management infrastructure at this farm.
' The Shady Grove Dairy has a Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) describing their
waste holding structures, storage capacities, waste utilization practices, crop plans, etc. Said CAWMP
was developed by the NC Cooperative Extension Service and the Yadkin County NRCS. Shady Grove
' Dairy plans to continue to use the existing CAWMP. Because theLpew-waste transfe_r_basiff3is not
specifically sized for long term storage, it is being considered as a "short term storagC facility used-for�
,temporary -collection -and -transfer. EES will not alter the existing CAWMP specifications, but will only
' evaluate the new basin for certification purposes. The EES document can be considered an amendment to
the existing plan.
The reader should understand that this evaluation will at times use average or published values for
volumetric estimations. Therefore all values presented should be taken as close approximations rather
than for exact "to -the -inch" values. Given the possible fluctuation in out-of-doors animal waste
' management systems, seasonal variations, management changes, etc. the enclosed approximations should
be suitable for this evaluation. The farmer/manager however should not exceed the minimum or
maximum recommendations for volume capacity mentioned in this report so as not to violate the intent of
' the existing animal waste rules. Each intensive animal operation and facility operates differently and must
be evaluated on its own merit and the owner/operator's willingness to maintain best management
practices or BMP's. It will be completely up to the farmer and/or system(s) operator to manage the
system in accordance with these plans, to protect the surface water and groundwater of the State of
North Carolina, and to adhere to all rules and regulations related to animal waste utilization.
' The specifications within this document are acceptable to satisfy a portion of the animal waste
management rules found in the publication titled NCDENR, Division of Environmental Water Quality,
Title 15A:02H, Section .0200. The reader should refer to this State publication for regulatory details.
' The evaluation methodology contained in this document will follow design guidelines found in the U.S
Natural Resources Conversation Service (MRCS) technical guidelines when applicable and is not meant
to contradict standard NRCS guidelines or the design criteria of other organizations. Much of the
' information in this document (plus Exhibits) was obtained courtesy of the N.C. Cooperative Extension
Service. It is impossible however to predict all future operational, environmental, and legislative
situations which could cause these plans to need modification or be revised at a later date.

' Shady Grove Dairy Transfer Basin
February 2004
' BACKGROUND INFORMATION
' Shady Grove Dairy is a well established Yadkin County business. The farm is registered with the
NCDENR, Division of Water Quality (DWQ) under the facility I.D. number 99 - 12. Mr. Tim
Smitherman is the farm owner. Mr. Smitherman also manages the farm.
' The Shady Grove Dairy has a Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) in place. The
existing CAWMP does not currently include information about a new covered waste transfer basin that
has been built within the last 12 or 14 months. The construction of this basin does not significantly alter
' the existing CAWMP since it only affords some temporary storage for one free stall barn. The farm is
currently permitted for 600 cows. Details about the existing CAWMP will be omitted from this covered
' waste transfer basin evaluation for brevity and since no changes are being made to the overall SSLW.
Dairy waste is scraped from a free stall barn into the covered waste transfer basin via a tractor and scrape
blade. A maximum of 200 cows contribute waste to the transfer basin. These 200 cows are part of the
' 600 cows identified within the existing CAWMP. All of the Shady Grove Dairy animal waste is
eventually land applied onto near -by crop land. There are additional waste storage ponds on the farm
which are designed to store waste from the entire dairy operation. The details of those larger storage
' ponds are not being discussed within this report. The engineer has assumed these waste storage ponds to
be sufficiently large to match the needs of the waste utilization portion of the CAWMP.
The new waste transfer basin at Shady Grove Dairy has a small earthen embankment around three of its
four sides. These earthen- ernbankrttents at -first appears to function for waste containment and for adding
volume to the transfer basin; b�_ut upon elevation-comparisons-they-servC only-to-divert-stormwater away-
' from and -around -the liasin interior EES did not design the transfer basin, its cover, or the stormwater,
conveyance system around the basin, but it would appear to be more or less adequate to take the
anticipated flows from small to moderate storm events. The owner has reported no run-in problems
' when heavy downpours have fell at the farm. EES was not hired to evaluate the stormwater hydraulics
around the transfer basin.
Il
1
1
C
The entire transfer basin is covered with a metal shed. The drip line of this shed roof is slightly larger
than the transfer basin interior so most direct rainfall is kept out of the basin and diverted into the
surrounding stormwater ditches. Strong winds could blow some rain into the basin, but this should be of
minimal consequence if stormwater freeboards are maintained.
EES did not find any NRCS design standards that exactly match the Shady Grove Dairy covered waste
transfer basin being discussed herein. However, in order to document this structure and its storage
capacity, EES was asked to evaluate its volumetric parameters for inclusion as an amendment to the
existing CAWMP. This new certification will not replace any of the existing CAWMP certifications or
parameters. Since the new basin does not significantly add to the long term animal waste storage
capacity at the farm, it should not significantly change the days of total waste storage available in
practical terms. This EES evaluation will concentrate on the temporary storage capacity of the new basin
serving only 200 cows, but the permanent storage of this manure will take place in previously certified
storage structures on the farm.
It has been reported that the existing CAWMP contains a certified insect control program, a certified
odor control program, and a certified emergency action plan for the existing waste storage ponds. These
plans should be sufficient for the new transfer basin since the general management principals are the same.
The engineer will offer recommendations on similar issues within this document for the farmer's
information, but will not be recertifying these areas.

To the engineer's knowledge, there have been no accidental releases of animal 'waste from the new
transfer basin.
REPORT OBJECTIVES
1. To provide the reader a brief background about the new covered waste transfer basin at Shady Grove
Dairy. Cropping plans, irrigation windows, nitrogen production from animal waste, etc. will not be
addressed in this report.
2. To measure the as -built transfer basin and describe its construction.
3. To estimate the volume of waste storage available in the new basin. The engineer will provide details
on gallons of storage as well as days of storage.
4. To describe safety issues associated with the maintaining stormwater drains, emergency overflow
points, storm storage requirements, high water marker placement, etc.
5. To provide a Technical Specialist Certification for the new covered animal waste transfer basin at
Shady Grove Dairy, including drawings and calculations. Said certifications can be added to the
existing CAWMp as an amendment.
FARM STATISTICS AND INFORMATION
Site Location
The physical location of the farm parcel is in the northeastern corner of Yadkin County approximately 1
mile north of East Bend. The farm is located on SR # 1538 (Shady Grove Church Road). Exhibits 1, 2,
and 3 show various views of the property.
The farm property is bordered by mostly wooded land or farm land with a few residential dwellings
scattered around the community. There are no historical sites reported within 1 mile of this basin.
The closest residential dwelling to the new waste storage pond site is a Smitherman owned residence.
There are no residences reported within 750 feet of the new transfer basin.
Topography and Drainage
In general, the topography at and around Shady Grove Dairy consists of rolling hills Cwith all'of theme
qd'rainage_from_tlie_site_eventually--going to the Yadkin Rivers A USGS topo map of the area can be seen
as Exhibit 2. The USGS topographic map containing this information is the gst Bend_Quadrangle map?
(1991). Coordinates for the dairy facilities are approximately Longitude 80 degrees, 31 minutes, 29
seconds; Latitude 36 degrees, 13 minutes, 58 seconds.
There is an unnamed intermittent stream located abou �7.5Meet.-south=of the -new transfer -basin wliich_doe
not-_show-up-on-the_USGS_quad._map. TimtSmitherman reports that this stream is often dry in hot
summer months, which points to it being intermittent. The stream is located in a rather deep ravine.

The transfer basin itself should not be impacted by 100 year flooding. This was not verified with flood
insurance maps but is reasonable based on topography, site position, and discussions with the farmer.
The discharge of animal waste to the surface waters of N.C. is prohibited. Therefore no waste should be
allowed to make its way into the nearby streams and rivers. While no animal farming operation is
immune to wastewater spillage accidents, adhering to the safety guidelines within this document and

' careful management should greatly minimize any such accidents. A sudden dam breach causing a
' significant release of waste is not a concern with this transfer basin since (fiquid-levels never_exceed=
�natuial_Fade':)Accidental animal waste discharges from this transfer basin would likely be due to an
extreme rainfall event, which would also make the discharging animal manure dilute. Animal manure
' releases from this transfer basin should be vM dilute prior to it reaching any public water supply intake.
Aquatic life would be in jeopardy associated with any sudden release of concentrated dairy waste. The
extent of such an accident would depend on the quantity and quality of the waste spilled. However,
' because of the close proximity of the nearby intermittent stream, Shady Grove Dairy must use the utmost
care to avoid any discharges from the transfer basin. Animal waste discharges from other point sources
at this farm are not being evaluated by EES.
Animal Waste Related Set -Backs or Buffers
There are numerous regulations related to set -backs and buffers from intensive livestock operations.
Most of the more stringent set -backs relate to swine production and swine waste. Unfortunately set -back
values are subject to rapid change due to legislation, making them hard to always follow. The engineer
has made an attempt to list the appropriate set -backs below according to the .0200 regulations.
1
I
Tables I and 2 show various buffers or set -backs that apply to swine and dairy operations. Table I shows
set -backs from new or expanding facilities and Table 2 shows minimum distances from waste application
areas. The reader should note that the set -backs shown are dependent on the time the farm was sited.
Shady Grove Dairy was in business before most of these set -backs went into effect. Wind conditions,
neighbor activities, crop growth, temperatures, etc. may require that buffers be increased. The irrigation
operator should be particularly careful to avoid spray drift if irrigating on windy days. Always protect
surface waters near application sites, even if it means increasing set -back distances.

However the grower should refer to legal counsel and/or regulatory agencies to confirm these opinions
' since there is much regulatory confusion about such matters.
In the opinion of the EES engineer, the new covered waste transfer basin meets the applicable set -back
' criteria mentioned in Table 1 - assuming the stream next to the basin is indeed NOT PERENNIAL. As a
word of caution, it is the owners responsibility to verify any set -backs that are close or questionable.

+= Typical right-of-ways from secondary roads in NC is 30 feet from the center line of the road This means to stay 25 feet
away from the right of way or a total of 55 feet from the center line of the road. The engineer would suggest a buffer of at
least 75 feet from public road right-of-ways if using big gun irrigation to avoid unpleasant accidents, especially in windy
conditions. 50 feet from center line is recommended if using a "honey wagon" to broadcast near public road right-of-ways.
++ = A light application of effluent over grass water ways to maintain a good grass cover is acceptable. This is different
from deep groundwater lowering ditches or very steep waterways. Use good judgment and plan this type of activity away
from rain events. Do not irrigate in wet lands. Do not heavily apply waste in valleys which arc subject to high rainfall run
off or in wet weather drainage ways. 100 feet buffers from perennial water (i.e. blue line streams) arc recommended by the
engineer for all fields where waste is to be applied (if possible).

Shady Grove Dairy Transfer Basin
Fcbruary 2004
' Miscellaneous Site Details
' There are no down -slope dwellings, structures, roads, or bridges between the transfer basin and the
nearest creek or branch. Due to the small volume of waste stored, the fact that all of the basin is below
grade, and the distance to the first stream crossing (i.e. down stream bridge), the engineer does not
believe there would be significant structural danger to the bridge or highway should a total basin failure
occur.
' Prevailing winds are typically from the southwest and blow toward the northeast. There are no high
density residential developments, hospitals, schools, or parks immediately northeast of the Shady Grove
Dairy parcel but some individual dwellings do exist in the nearby community.
' The engineer did not view the construction site prior to the transfer basin being installed. Nor did the
EES engineer did not view the basin construction as it was taking place. The soils in which the basin
was installed are of a clay nature. While not measured, the permeability of such soils is likely low,
' especially given the thick nature of the waste supply.
From limited on -site viewing, the engineer did not observe any unusual natural or archeological features
at the farm. No endangered or threatened wildlife species were noted, or reported by the owner. The
land used for new pond construction has been in agricultural production for many years.
Animal Populations and Related Information
The confinement facilities which contribute waste to the transfer basin contain about 200 cows, but there
are about 600 cows total at the farm. Only the waste from the 200 cows are being addressed in this
' evaluation. Smitherman uses a rotation scheme so all of the 200 cows are on pasture part of the time.
Table 3 shows a breakdown of the cows and the waste they are estimated to produce.
tI EVALUATION OF THE NEW COVERED ANIMAL WASTER TRANSFER BASIN
Description Of Treatment
' The Shady Grove Dairy waste transfer basin is not typical of most dairy waste impoundments. Therefore
it is difficult to find design standards from which to measure performance. The engineer will attempt to
' use reasonable comparisons to typical dairy waste holding ponds for discussion.
Animal waste storage ponds are structures or impoundments that are used to temporarily store liquid
and/or slurry type wastes. They lack the volume necessary to maintain optimum anaerobic activity,
therefore they are not considered treatment structures. A waste storage pond must contain and store
excess animal waste and storm volumes so as to provide the farmer flexibility in his/her waste utilization
' plan and safety against overflow. Unlike lagoons, waste storage ponds can be pumped dry or almost dry.
Because the waste transfer basin under consideration does not allow liquids to separate from the solids, it
is not considered a dry stack.
The transfer basin under consideration has a concrete bottom and earthen sides. It is very shallow when
compared to the typical dairy waste holding pond. This structure can and should be completely emptied
' on a routine basis.
7

Shady Grow Dairy Transfer Basin
February 1004
' Impoundment Shapes and Flows
' The transfer basin has a rectangular surface area and more or less vertical side -walls on three sides. The
entrance or inlet to the basin is Oncfete_so waste can be scraped from the barn to the basin. The basin
bottom is sloped from west to east and is concrete throughout. The sloping portion of the bottom
ramp is'about 1'footao_LO_feet or_1.0°Zo3This sloping bottom serves as a ramp for equipment to enter
into the pond for solids removal should that become necessary. The side walls_are_earthen and of a clay
nature.
Waste that is scraped into the basin is typically in a slurry form, having a high percentage of solids. A
slurry transfer pump is used to pump slurry out of the basin into a slurry wagon for transfer either to
fields or to other holding ponds on the farm. Waste transfer occurs as needed.
Sludge Holding Capacity
' Solids and sludge are to be removed on a routine basis. No sludge volume is needed in the design.
Design Treatment Volume
' There is no Minimum Design Volume or Design Treatment Volume associated with this basin.
Wastewater And Rainfall Storage
Dairy waste management systems accumulate water and animal waste over time due to excess water
produced by the animals and from excess rainfall. The days of excess waste storage capacity for
impoundments depend on the amount of waste generated, added rainfall less evaporation, and the
farmer's opportunities to empty the structure. The traditional dairy waste holding pond must be large
enough to store the excess water accumulation until it can evaporate or be emptied via a land application
' routine. Naturally the farmer will not (and can not) land apply animal waste every day or every week
because of convenience, crop growth windows, weather conditions, etc. These factors require there to
be storage volume built into the pond system to give the farmer safety and flexibility in the land
' application routine. The time period for this part of the design can vary between three and six months,
but for land application flexibility, 6 months of storage (or more) is recommended as the safest value to
use. Volumetric capacities which allow less than 5 months of liquid (or slurry) accumulation may
' eventually lead to problems with the safe storage of waste - especially in prolonged wet periods. The
temporary storage volume includes 1) excess wastes produced by animal production (i.e. feces, urine,
bedding, spillage or wasted water, and clean-up water); and 2) excess rainfall (less evaporation) entering
' into the waste storage system.
The Shady Grove Dairy waste transfer basin is not a typical waste holding pond. Its volume is too small
' to allow for extended waste storage. However, it does have some storage capacity and is mostly
protected from direct rainfall. The information below will evaluate what is the reasonable storage capacity
of the covered waste transfer basin based on average conditions.
Design values taken from the NRCS technical guide 633 show a 1,400 pound milk cow will produce
about 136 cubic feet of scraped manure every three months. While individual farm manure production
' may vary, this value will be used as a close estimate for this evaluation. Historical animal waste
production data was not available for this report. Table 3 shows the estimated amount of animal waste
going to the covered waste transfer basin at Shady Grove Dairy.

The waste transfer basin being discussed herein is covered via a metal shed. The only routine stormwater
contribution is what falls on the concrete pad between the free stall barn and the basin. While this is a
relatively small volume, it can be significant since the basin itself is relatively small.
An estimate for the excess accumulated rainfall for each month of the year appears in Table 4. The basin
waste will be rather thick and have a crusty organic mat on the water surface. This thick mat is thought
by some to reduce the evaporation potential as compared to a free water surface, but on the other hand, it
may also speed evaporation due to the wicking of water away from the surface. Table 4 shows what
might be reasonable storage pond evaporation rates.

EES performed on -site measurements at the new transfer basin on July 15, 2003. At this time EES
personnel observed the drainage patterns around the basin. The construction of the basin is such that
most stormwater from outside of the pond area is diverted or captured by earthen channels and routed
around the pond. The only surface area draining into the covered basin is the concrete scrape zone
between the barn and basin. Contributing surface areas for stormwater are estimated in Table 5. Table 6

25 Year - 24 Hour Storm Storage (part of normal freeboard)
At any time in North Carolina there can occur a severe rain producing storm which will deposit
considerable amounts of water quickly. This fact should be considered when designing a lagoon or pond
system and allowances made to accommodate this extra water. e4ions nowkcequire thataa-new

tbove. While the transfer

The standard storm surge allowed in a liquid animal waste system design (i.e. for final stage lagoons or
waste storage ponds) is the 25 year - 24 hour rainfall event. This storm event is historically different
between the Mountains, Piedmont, and Coastal Plain and can even vary between neighboring cities.
Climatic data from the U.S. Weather Bureau was available to give the engineer reasonably accurate
information about such rainfall events. The 25 year - 24 hour storm for the East Bend area is about 5.5
inches. Since the basin is covered, only water inflow from the concrete scrape area will be considered for
this calculation. Table 8 shows the expected storm volume from a 25 year - 24 hour storm event.

' Second Storm Allowance (part of normal freeboard)
' The most recent design criteria established by the NRCS suggests that a second 25 year - 24 hour storm
allowance (sometimes called a Heavy Rainfall Allowance) be made inside the waste storage system before
an overflow would occur. This second storm allowance acts as an additional safety net against effluent
' overflow in emergency situations, especially if unusually heavy rains occur (i.e. rain events greater than
the 25 year - 24 hour storm).
IrI
L�
I
Heavy Rainfall Accumulation or Second Storm Allowance = 11,407 Gallons
Normal Freeboard - Totals
Normal freeboard is the extra depth above the maximum "operating" high water level in a waste holding
structure for safety against a discharge. This extra depth (or extra storage volume) is a safety measure
that allows for the storage of at least two 25 year - 24 hour storms (described above). From the volume
vs. depth graph in Exhibit 5, the engineer has estimated that the two storms mentioned above would
occupy the top 9.5 inches (+/-) of liquid storage capacity of this basin, keeping in mind that only the rain
falling onto the concrete inlet ramp enters the basin. When possible the farmer should keep some extra
freeboard - above the two storms if the structure is sufficiently large to allow this reserve.
Total Normal Freeboard =
Emergency Freeboard
Feet
t01$0,t .eet;(about 9.5 or 10 inches)
Emergency freeboard is the extra depth added to a waste holding structure for safety against a random
embankment overflow or dam "over -topping". This extra depth is a safety measure and prevents water
from spilling over the dam, resulting in dam erosion and complete or partial failure. The measured
overflow point for the transfer basin was measured to be near the inlet of the basin. This area is
constructed of concrete so soil erosion due to an overflow is not a factor. Thus, for the Shady Grove
waste transfer basin, emergency freeboard is not applicable.
' Emergency Freeboard = 0.00 Feet.
Emergency Spillway For Overflows
' An emergency spillway or overflow is a man-made structure attached to or made part of a liquid
impoundment such as a lagoon, or a temporary waste holding structure. It allows any liquid overflows
out of the impoundment a path of exit that minimizes damage to the pond dam or embankment. The idea
' is that a controlled release of liquid is better than a random embankment overflow that could destroy the
embankment, potentially cause human or property losses, and allow additional liquid manure to escape.
' As stated above, the transfer basin at Shady Grove Dairy has a concrete bottom and inlet. if waste were
to fill the basin, it would overflow near the inlet to the basin - which is concrete. While there is no special
emergency overflow designed into the basin, any overflows would not jeopardize the primary holding
' structure or earthen dike since there is no earthen dike holding back waste.

' Permanent water level markers shall be installed inside all storage ponds, lagoons, or pump basins so the
operator can tell where the freeboard reserves begin. The farmer shall install these markers so the
operator can tell at a glance the current water level when water levels approach the "pump start" and

measuring device should be well marked and be of a design which best serves the operator's purpose.

' Comments Related To Basin Construction And On -site Observation
' The concrete scrape pad between the transfer basin and the free stall barn slopes very slightly from the
barn to the basin. The basin inlet begins as a sloped ramp that averages about 1 foot of drop in 10 feet of
run (10%). Exhibit 4 shows a drawing of the basin.

During the EES site visit of 7-15-03 approximately 5.5 feet of waste was in the bottom of the new what
is thought to be a reasonable representation of the basin construction. For volume calculation purposes,
EES assumed the basin bottom, side walls, and ramp slope, etc. below the manure level to be relatively
consistent. However, there is some non -uniformity to the basin interior which makes all calculations
approximate.
The interior side -walls of the basin are earthen (of a clay nature).
performed,. . .' y EE i —
The EES engineer did not observe any areas of significant soil erosion around the basin. It would appear
the metal shed roof is shielding the pond from most rain events. The concrete scrape pad is not covered,
thus permitting some rainwater to flow into the basin. This was discussed earlier in the report.

responsible for grass planting and soil stabilization on all disturbed soil areas. For informational purposes
the reader will find suggestions on soil stabilization in the next section of this report.
Any overflows from the new transfer basin would quickly enter into the intermittent stream channel just
south of the basin. This is of concern to the engineer. However, since the basin is covered and largely
protected from stormwater flows, and because the manure entering into the basin is manually introduced,
the engineer believes the likelihood of an overflow is minimized. The farmer should always observe the
freeboards mentioned above in order to prevent any overflows from the basin.

' Shady Grove Dairy Transrcr Basin

REQUIREMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
' The waste transfer basin under consideration should be adequate for temporary storage as long as it is
maintained. Below are a few requirements and recommendations that will assist in managing this basin.
I. Requirement - Install freeboard markers inside the transfer basin to designate maximum water levels
' as shown in Table 9 and on Exhibit 5. Manure must be kept below this level.
2. Requirement - Maintain manure levels so there is zero overflow out of the basin.
' 3. Requirement - Keep stormwater channels, culverts and grass water ways maintained so no
stormwater enters the transfer basin, except for what falls on the concrete scrape area.
4. Requirement - Keep back-up waste transfer equipment handy. Since the volume of waste storage in
' this basin is minimal, having working equipment is crucial to safety.
5. Recommendation - Install a roof or cover over the concrete scrape area between the barn and the
basin to shed stormwater and prevent it from entering the basin. While the routine amount of
' stormwater that enters via this access in any given month is minimal, a severe storm when the basin is
near capacity could cause an overflow.
6. Recommendation - Install concrete, block, or treated wood curbing on the perimeter of the concrete
scrape area so emergency overflows could be temporarily stopped by the operator. Said curbing can
have openings so routine stormwater can drain, yet said openings can be boarded up in the event of a
' pending overflow emergency. This gives the operator some course of action in the event of a pending
overflow.
' BASIN MAINTENANCE
The primary maintenance needed for the waste transfer basin will be regular manure removal, i.e. keeping
manure levels below the two 25 year - 24 hour freeboards. There is not enough basin volume for long
' term storage so leave plenty of room for heavy rainfalls. Important water levels were discussed above.
Bedding sand, wood shavings, and manure sludge can accumulate in the bottom of the basin over time
' and may not be removed using routine transfer efforts. The farmer should either agitate this material and
remove it along with the liquid or scrape it off the bottom when the basin is empty. Otherwise this
material will take up storage space and reduce the available days of storage.
The drainage, channels and culverts around the basin pond shall be kept clear of debris and trash. It is
very important that the drainage culverts and ditches be kept open for maximum stormwater by-pass.
' Keep permanent vegetation well established around the earthen embankments, on hillsides, and in
stormwater channels. Maintain good covers with mowing and fertilizing. Annually collect soil samples
for analysis and follow fertilizer and lime recommendations.. Fertilize and lime native grasses around the
' site and keep existing ground cover in tact as much as possible. Plant new cover grasses as necessary.
Mow grass in accordance with good waste management practices, especially in stormwater conveyance
' channels and around earthen dikes. Problems can not be seen through tall vegetation, and tall or thick
grass will inhibit the flow of stormwater around the basin.
Repair mulch and seed beds as necessary if areas of dead grass develop or erosion scars occur.
' Use pesticides and herbicides only as a last resort to keep grass stands healthy. Use housekeeping
techniques to control insects along with or instead of pesticides.

' No shrubs or bushes are planned near the new pond at this time. New shrubs and trees should not be
planted closer than 30 feet to the new pond to keep leaves and limbs from getting into the pond.
' Fence all cattle or other animals away from dams and earthen dikes.
SEDIMENT AND EROSION CONTROL SUGGESTIONS (use as needed)
The purpose of sediment and erosion control measures is to confine sediment within the construction
' area. Around dairies this is especially important since soil particles can also contain manure nutrients.
The contractor and/or farmer should construct physical barriers, obstacles, or structures to insure
sediment and soil is retained on the construction site. This task includes repairs of disturbed soils, erosion
scars, and damaged erosion control devices. Grass planting and maintenance are also part of standard
erosion control measures. Selected suggestions and seeding recommendations below were taken in part
from the 'Erosion And Sediment Control Planning And Design Manual", published by the North Carolina
Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Land Quality Section.
Seeding Suggestions:
' There is no more important function for stabilizing a construction site than to plant vegetation soon
as possible after soil disturbance has ended. Sample and test soils for liming and fertilizer
suggestions. Send soil samples to the N.C. Department of Agriculture, Plant, Waste & Tissue Lab,
' 4300 Reedy Creek Road, Raleigh, N.C. 27607. Soil sample containers can be obtained at the
Yadkin County Cooperative Extension Service.
' When final grading is complete, Permanent Seeding will be required. Soil stabilization shall occur
within 15 working days of final construction or within 60 calendar days.
The contractor and/or owner shall use best judgment as to the variety of grass to be planted at the
1
site. A few recommended grass types are shown in Table 12. hercontractor_shalltnot-use_Sericea

Rake over all sites to assure seed has been covered and lightly pack in place. Lightly water if water
is available (only enough to moisten soil).
Mulch Suggestions:
On steep slopes (greater than 3:1) apply approximately 100 pounds of straw per 1000 square feet of
surface. Cover straw with a netting or jute cover or use some other suitable adhesive material to
hold straw in place. If asphalt is used apply at roughly a rate of 1 I gallons per 1000 square feet of
surface.
On less steep slopes (less than 3:1) apply approximately 90 pounds of straw per 1000 square feet of
surface. Cover straw with a netting or jute cover or use some other suitable adhesive material to
hold straw in place. Mulch may not be needed on relatively flat surfaces.
The grass lined channels are sometimes difficult to get stabilized because of the velocity of flowing
water. Often water velocities exceeding 2 feet per second on bare soil channels will cause erosion
scars. In many cases, the previous recommendation is sufficient to get a cover established, however
if not, use an excelsior mat (e.g. Curlex Blanket) to line the channel and secure according to
manufacturers recommendations. Seed all exposed areas and mulch as necessary. Make slopes of
grass lined channels as gentle as possible. Use drop boxes if necessary to lessen steep slopes.
Silt fencing should be used on the down slope sides of disturbed areas, such as at the toe of the dam,
earthen embankments, and at piles of stored soils if wind -rows are not present. Silt fencing should not
be used as the only sediment control for large areas of soil disturbance or in grass water ways with
potential for high velocity water streams. Hang silt fencing on wooden or metal posts well anchored into
the soil. Do not allow sediment to flow under loose fitting silt fencing. Anchor the bottoms of slit fences
in the soil and clean out small sumps or pools just in front of the fences to allow for sediment build-up.
Liquid heads over 1.5 feet high will likely damage silt fencing.
Do not put silt fencing or rock dams where backed up water can spill over into manure storage facilities
Maintain 15 feet vegetative buffers between disturbed areas and property boundaries.
Where applicable, apply stored top soil back to final grade over disturbed soils.
CONTROL PROGRAMS FOR SHADY GROVE DAIRY
Odor Control And Liquid Waste Management (Apply As Needed)
A certified odor control program is already in place at the Shady Grove Dairy and can be seen in the
existing CAWMP. As mentioned earlier in this document, the in -place odor control program and its
certified forms shall remain in force. EES will not be replacing this certification. The engineer does
however wish to emphasize the need for a comprehensive odor control program as it relates to prudent
animal waste management. Therefore, much of this document's text and BMP's are directly or indirectly
related to odor control. Below is a few items of interest that can be applied as part of any odor control
program.
Use common sense and constant observations to prevent pond upsets or overflows.
2. All waste types shall be tested to determine their nutrient content prior to land applications. This shall
be done within 60 days of the start of a waste application event, such as the start of spring irrigation.
Send effluent and sludge samples to the N. C. Department of Agriculture, Plant, Waste, and Tissue

' Lab, 4300 Reedy Creek Road, Raleigh, N.C. 27607, phone [phone]. Plant or crop tissue
' samples can also be sent for regular analysis. Contact the local Cooperative Extension Service for
additional details and phone numbers. Keep in mind that slurry or solids applications may alter
routine liquid application rates so do not confuse solids and slurry applications with liquid effluent.
' Waste sampling instructions are available from the local Cooperative Extension Service if needed.
3. Keep grasses and vegetation out of lagoons, storage ponds, and waste transfer basins. Animal health
consumables, rubber gloves, plastic bags, and trash tend to accumulate in lagoons and ponds and
' should be cleaned out regularly. Keep it neat!
4. Regularly inspect all earthen dams and embankments for settling or bulges, side slope stability, rodent
damage, jug holes or pock marks, erosion scars, wave action damage, weeping, etc. Weeds should be
' mown at least one time per year and two times per year in heavy growth years so the operator can see
problems before they get serious. Do not allow bush or woody vegetation to grow on earthen dikes.
Regularly inspect concrete storage basins for cracks or unusual settling.
' S. Do not drive vehicles across emergency spillways. Keep any overflows or emergency spillways clear
of limbs, tall plant growth, logs, floating debris, sedimentation, etc. Watch for erosion and settling. A
good grass cover should be maintained at and down slope of emergency spillways.
6. Animal grazing on dams and embankments can cause problems and is not allowed.
7. Inspect all dams, earthen embankments, and emergency spillways at least two times per year or after
' every significant storm event. The owner/operator shall keep a written record on all inspections,
maintenance and repairs done on the lagoon and or dam.
' 8. Always maintain freeboards in ponds and lagoons. Allow more freeboard if pumping equipment is
not readily available for this pond.
9. Try to avoid large rapid liquid level reductions inside deep earthen containment structures. Always
' observe the inside dam sides for possible liner sloughing during rapid liquid draw -downs. Repair
damaged lagoon liners immediately. Try to keep draw down no more than 12 inches in 24 hours for
earthen structures.
' 10. Ventilation fans shall be maintained according to the manufacturer's specifications.
11. Animal feed storage containers located outside of animal containment buildings shall be covered
' except when necessary to remove or add feed. This does not apply to the storage of silage or hay or
to commodity boxes with roofs.
12. Animal wastewater flush tanks shall be covered with a device that is quickly removable or shall have
' installed a fill pipe that extends below the surface of the tank's wastewater. This is a recommendation
by the engineer and not a DAQ rule.
13. Avoid unnecessary agitation of the pond when not irrigating. This will help control odors. Take
t measures to allow water to flow into the pond in a gentle fashion instead of splashing or cascading if
practical. Extreme care should be used when filling earthen ponds so as to avoid eroding a scar into
' the side and exposing undesirable soils. Use temporary flexible drainage pipe if necessary to transfer
waste to the liquid surface. Flexible pipe can be left in the pond or lagoon.
14. The terminal end of inlet piping should extend just under the water surface if manure sources are very
' liquid. If manure is scraped or is thick (as with most dairy waste), the inflow pipe may be mounted
above the water level. If the pipe outlets are under water and the pipes are air tight the pipes should
be equipped with vapor traps and vents to prevent gasses from moving back toward the confinement
' houses. Clean out ports should also be provided for each set of pipes. USE EXTREME CAUTION

WHEN INSTALLING PIPES ACROSS FILL MATERIAL SUCH AS A DAM. CONSULT THE
ENGINEER OR NRCS BEFORE DIGGING.
15. Irrigation pump intakes should be no more than 18 inches below the liquid surfaces of lagoons. This is
also a good practice in storage ponds but not as critical as with lagoons.
16. New products are being developed to help minimize odors from animal operations. The
owner/operator may utilize such products but these should only be done according to manufacture's
recommendations and with caution. Many of these products do not reduce odors and are a waste of
money. Rapid additions of enzymes or chemicals could cause microbial upsets.
17. Keep trash, dead animals, and spilled feed cleaned up and properly disposed. The carcasses of dead
animals shall be properly stored at all times and disposed of within 24 hours of discovery. Disposal
processes shall comply with the State Veterinarian guidelines under G. S. 106-403,
18. Spray irrigation activities of wastewater can not be allowed to drift beyond the farm boundary except
for the purposes of maintaining a safe lagoon (or pond) freeboard. This would be an emergency
situation. Farmers must contact the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) and the Division of Air
Quality (DAQ) in emergency situations and before irrigating effluent as a result of weather extremes.
Take extreme care to select optimum conditions for spray irrigation of wastewater and sludge
removal events. Careful planing will help minimize odors. Irrigate wastewater in dry warm weather
if possible, preferably before 12 noon. Avoid weekend and holiday irrigation unless absolutely
necessary.
19. In North Carolina prevailing winds blow from the southwest toward the northeast, however they can
blow from any direction at any time (see Table 13). Plant or maintain trees on the west and
southwest side of the farm to act as a wind break. Plant trees between irrigation fields and neighbors
or public highways. Avoid spraying on windy days or when the wind is blowing toward nearby
neighbors.

Insect Control And Mortality Management (Apply As Needed)
A certified insect control program and mortality management program are already in place at the Shady
Grove Dairy and can be seen in the existing CAWMP. As mentioned earlier in this document, the in -
place insect control program and its certified forms shall remain in force and will not be replaced by EES.

and BMP's are directly or indirectly related to insect control. Below is a few items of interest that can be
applied as part of any insect or mortality management control program.
'
1.
The farmer shall at all times strive to keep weeds and tall grass from growing uncontrolled around the
waste storage structures since good weed control robs insects of nesting sites and habitat.
'
2.
Dispose of all organic materials and trash in containers or dumpsters.
3,
Keep trash, dead animals, and spilled feed cleaned up and properly disposed.
'
4.
Follow crop stalk and root destruction programs where applicable. Follow all BMP's for crop
production.
5.
Small pools of water can develop around a farm due to equipment traffic, etc. Keep these depressions
'
filled so water does not stand for long periods. A "dry" and manicured farm discourages insect
breeding.
6.
The farmer should consult with the local Cooperative Extension Service to discuss an integrated pest
'
management program. Incorporate the use of pesticides and herbicides as needed for insect control.
7.
Employ good housekeeping!
8.
Manure tends to pack into the corners of pits and channels and can cause excessive odors and insects.
Regularly inspect pits, sump areas, pit walls, etc. for caked manure. Use a high pressure hose to wash
'
9.
out caked manure areas.
Remove crusted solids from lagoons, pits, and channels (as is practical).
10.
Fly traps which lure flies to them with an attractant will help reduce fly populations if enough of them
'
are used around a farm, especially if the animal waste is not allowed to sit undisturbed in corners of
pits or in hard to reach places. Hang such traps where they will not be damaged by the animals or by
machinery and where they can be maintained. Make sure all manure buildup is disturbed every 7 days
'
to break the fly breeding cycle. For dairies, check with health inspectors about fly trap usage.
11.
The carcasses of dead animals shall be properly stored at all times and disposed of within 24 hours of
discovery. Disposal processes shall comply with the State Veterinarian guidelines under G.S. 106-
403. Typically is service.

' Personal Safety Considerations Around Lagoons And Waste Storage Ponds
1. Fencing around liquid storage ponds is an option to the farmer if trespassing is a problem. If the
' public or children will have access to the lagoon or pond area, it is a good idea to have a stock tight
fence installed around the lagoon perimeter. Clear warning signs should be installed around ponds
and lagoons and be visible from all sides of a waste containment structure. Unauthorized persons
should be kept away from waste treatment and storage areas. Make sure all signs read in both
English and Spanish if you employ migrant laborers.
' 2. The owners should install throw type safety devices within easy access from at least 2 places around a
pond or lagoon in the event of a drowning accident. Safety ropes should also be kept nearby. At
least one person at the farm should have water rescue training. Any person using a boat on a lagoon
or waste storage pond must wear a life preserver and have a helper standing on shore in case of an
emergency. All farm personnel should have first aid and safety training.
3. Never walk on crusted lagoons or ponds. Even thick crusts can not support the weight of an adult.
20

4. When scraping waste down a ramp or into a pond or basin, use extreme caution to avoid tractor
accidents. Tractors can run off the end of concrete ramps or become submerged in wastewater and
drown the driver. Use vehicle barriers to prevent accidental drive -offs.
5. Animal manures produce gasses as they undergo decomposition. Agitation of lagoon solids or under
slat liquids can cause large amounts of gasses to be released quickly. The owners should be aware
that certain gasses are colorless and odorless and can cause asphyxiation and death under severe
circumstances (usually in confined spaces and not as likely around a lagoon). It is doubtful gas
concentrations would approach explosive levels, but the owners should be aware of such possibilities
in confined spaces. Employees should be warned about such dangers and trained in dealing with such
matters. The primary types of gases produced by animal manure are listed below:
TABLE 14
Hydrogen
Sulfide- MS :
•
The most dangerous of gases produced, especially during manure agitation. This gas is corrosive
to exposed metal parts.
•
Colorless with distinct odor.
•
Heavier than air, accumulates near the floor.
•
Recommended maximum safe gas concentrations for an 8 hour exposure to humans: 10 parts
per million
•
Recommended control of as: Adequate ventilation.
•
Not readily explosive.
Carbon Dioxide CO2 :
• Not particularly toxic in normal concentrations. Large quantities can be released during manure
agitation. Not particularly corrosive.
• Colorless and odorless.
• Heavier than air, accumulates near the floor.
• Recommended maximum safe gas concentrations for an 8 hour exposure to humans: 5,000 parts
per million
• Recommended control of gas: Adequate ventilation.
• Not readily explosive.
Methane- CH4 :
• The most explosive of gases produced, especially during manure agitation. Not extremely toxic
at low levels.
• Colorless and odorless.
• Lighter than air, accumulates near the ceiling.
• Recommended maximum safe gas concentrations for an 8 hour exposure to humans: 1,000 parts
per million
• Recommended control of gas: Adequate ventilation.
• Explosive at concentrations of 50,000 to 150,000 parts per million or 5 - 15
21

Shady Grove Dairy"rransrer Basin
February 2004

Ammonia-(NH4):
• Not extremely toxic in lower concentrations. Irritating to the eyes and respiratory system. Can
be released in large quantities especially during manure agitation. Can be corrosive to exposed
metal parts.
• Colorless with very distinct odor.
• Lighter than air, accumulates near the ceiling.
• Recommended maximum safe gas concentrations for an 8 hour exposure to humans: 25 parts
per million
• Recommended control of gas: Adequate ventilation.
• Not readily explosive.
4. Workers should never go under floor slats unless accompanied by a helper and only if adequate
ventilation is in place. Drain and clean under slat pits at least 8 hours prior to entering in addition to
providing good ventilation. Workers entering confined spaces should follow OSHA guidelines for
such activities.
5. The owner/operator may wish to purchase a portable hand held gas meter for questionable
environmental situations.
' 6. Beware of spiders and snakes around livestock facilities.
7. Workers should attend to cuts and wounds immediately with the proper first aid.
' 8. Always observe sanitary principals around animal waste. Keep your dirty hands away from your
mouth, nose, and eyes when working with manure.
tEMERGENCY ACTION PLANS
Animal wastes can not impact the surface waters of North Carolina. Therefore the engineer wishes
to emphasize the importance of emergency action should there be a spill or similar discharge emergency.
A certified emergency action plan is reported to be in place at the Shady Grove Dairy and can be seen in
' the existing CAWMP. The farm owner/manager should refer to this plan for ideas on what to do in an
emergency. Emergency action associated with the waste transfer basin would be the same as for the
existing waste storage ponds on this farm.
' ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND NOTICES
' Any person or company owning or controlling the property upon which an intensive livestock operation
exists shall be responsible for all aspects of the waste management. The system must be maintained at all
times to prevent direct seepage and/or discharge of effluent to the surface of ponds, rivers, streams, or to
' any type of surface or ground waters.
Shady Grove Dairy is hereby notified that he/she/they must operate this system in accordance with state
and local laws and regulations. Problems should be reported to the N.C. Division of Water Quality
' (DWQ) ASAP. The telephone number of the regional of DWQ, Winston Salem, N.C. - [phone].

[1] This drawing is to serve es on illustration of o new enamel waste transfer basin
at the Shady Grove Dairy. Weer East Bend. N.C. (Yadkin County). owned by Mr. Tim
Srtuthermon. This drawing should be considered on approximate representation derived
from on -site measurements. Many of the physical features on this drawing are shown
symbolic and may look slightly different from those on -site. Only the physical features
related to animal manure containment ore shown herein.
[2] This Brewing should not be used for property line verifications or deed related metiers.
Utilities are not shown on this Brewing. The north arrow and steles ere approximate.
[3] The new waste transfer basin was designed end built according to the owner's plena
and was not designed by Environmental Engineering Services tEESI. The owner has requested
EES to provide es -built details and to document volumetric details.
[4] The elevations shown on this drawing ore referenced to o common neorb datum
or bench mark chosen by the engineer early in this project. The bench me�%s shown ere
not referenced to see )level or any such st.onderd L1SGS datum or benchmarks. Some of
the interior measurements token to develop the contours shown inside Detail A were
assumed if they were under manure of the time of measurement. The contours shown in
Detail A ere at 1 foot intervals.
[5] This transfer
basin is used to temporarily store scraped cow manure
from o
free stall

Manure
slurry is scraped
into the basin using o form t,roctor and scrape blade. The sides of the
basin are
earthen
and the bottom is concrete. A metal shed is installed directly over the
basin to divert rainfall.
The concrete scrape
area between the born and the basin allows o small
amount
of rein to
enter the basin.
Most surface water is diverted around the basin to a
nearby
ditch. The sides
of the metal building are open.
[6] The engineer is providing es -built details end certifying basin volume, but is not certifying
soil compactions, dike construction. or building construction over the basin. Nor is the engineer
certifying any other aspect of the Shelly Grove Decry Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
The soil wells of the inner begin are cloy but permeability evaluations were not made-
[7] Manure is typically transferred out of the basin using a broadcast wagon.
[B] The new basin is not equiped with o designated emergency overflc•;•. Elevations ore such that basin
overflows would take place near the inlet to the basin (on concrete) and not over the basin's

Dear Tim Smitherman:
In accordance with your application received on April 19, 1999, we are forwarding this Certificate of Coverage
(COC) issued to Tim Smitherman, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment,
storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWG200000. This approval shall consist
of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Shady
Grove Dairy Farm, located in Yadkin County, with an animal capacity of no greater than annual average of 600
Dairy and the application to land as specified in the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until 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.
Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit documentation
to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking of the facility.
Per NRCS standards a 100 foot separation shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon or any
wetted area of a spray field.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit or the
CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-215.6A through

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
SHADY GROVE DAIRY
The animal waste at Shady Grove Dairy is scraped into three waste
storage ponds. Waste storage pond #1 is located below the milking
parlor, holding pen and old freestall barn and is designed for 150
cows for 180 days storage. Waste storage ponds #2 and #3 are
located at the ends of two newer freestall barns and catch the
waste and run off from each barn. These two storage ponds together
are designed for 250 cows with 180 days storage. This waste
utilization plan is written for an average of 400 animals confined
100a of the time in these areas. There is also a dry cow barn
where solids will be cleaned out and land applied.
The waste is land applied utilizing a solid set irrigation system
pumping out of WSP #1, pump and haul system from WSP #2 and WSP #3
with two 4000 gallon slurry tanks and one 3600 gallon slurry tank
and a six ton solids box, spreader to haul solid manure from the dry
cow barn. The plan indicates that there is not adequate land set
aside for irrigation to apply all of the waste out of WSP #1 by
irrigating so the remainder of waste will be hauled out in slurry
tanks to other fields. Approximately 29 acres of land are available
to apply waste through the solid set irrigation system and 571
acres for pump and haul and solid waste application. The summary
tables include all fields to which waste can be applied.
The cropping system which is utilized on Shady Grove Dairy is a
double cropping system with corn for silage and small grain for
silage. There is also 24.5 acres of fescue pasture and 8.5 acres
of orchard grass where waste can be applied. Fall waste
applications are generally made to fields where corn silage has
been harvested prior to sowing small grain for silage. Spring
waste applications are made to the same fields where small grain
has been harvested for silage prior to planting corn. There is
approximately 40 pounds of nitrogen applied to small grain by
commercial fertilizer and 140 pounds of nitrogen to the corn crop
by commercial fertilizer. There is more than adequate land to make
all waste applications.
The Realistic Yield
are as follows:

Small Grain
Silage 10 Ton

The irrigation applications made from WSP #1 are calculated using
5.0 lbs of PAN/1000 gallons of waste and the pump and haul
applications made from WSP #2 and WSP #3 are calculated using
10.0 lbs of PAN/1000 gallons of waste.
Application Rate from irrigation: = crop PAN requirement (lb) x 1000

Corn Silage = 76 lbs. PAN x 1000=.15,200 gallons = .55 inches

Small Grain Silage = 80 lbs. PAN x 1000 = 15,200 gallons = .55 inches
5.0
Fescue Pasture = 150 lbs. PAN x 1000 = 30, 000 gallons per year
5.0
= 15,000 gallons per application

Application Rate from pump and haul system:
Applic. rate = crop PAN requirement (lb) x 1.000
acre lb. PAN/1000 gallons
Corn Silage = 76 lbs. PAN/ac.x 1000 = 7,600 gallons

Small Grain Silage = 80 lbs. PAN/ac. x 1000 = 8,000 gallons
10
Fescue Pasture = 150 lbs. PAN/ac. x 1000 = 15,000 gallons/ac/yr

Orchardgrass = 200 lbs. PAN x 1000 = 20, 000 gallons/ac/yr

Total 3, 100, 700 gallons
WSP #1 = 581,400 gallons
WSP #2 = 503,850 gallons
WSP #3 = 465,100 gallons
Total 1, 550, 350 gallons
The summary tables show that there is enough land to apply
4,799,350 gallons in the spring and 5,034,250 gallons in the
fall.

Acres needed for waste application utilizing the double cropping system
follows:
Acres need for application = gallon of waste produced every 6 months.
waste application rate/acre
Acres of corn land = 1, 550, 350 gallons = 204 acres
7,600 gallons/ac.
Acres of small grain land = 1, 550, 350 gallons = 194 acres
8,000 gallons/ac.
You must have the animal waste analyzed to determine the nutrient
content within 60 days of application. Soil nutrients in all
fields where waste will be applied must be analyzed annually.
Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and
the nutrient content of the waste.
If at anytime you plan to add additional land to the plan for waste
application or make any changes to the plan, you need to contact
your technical specialist to make an amendment to the plan.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: Shady Grove Dairy
Location: 4324 Shady Grove Church Rd., East Bend, NC 27018
Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: Dairy
Number of Animals: 400
(Design Capacity)
Application Method(s): (2) 4000 gallon slurry tanks, solid set irrigations
system, (1) 3600 gallon slurry tank, 6 ton solid solids manure spreader
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. You must have
the animal waste analyzed to determine nutrient content as close to the time of
application as practical and at least within 60 days of the date of application before
each application cycle. Soil nutrients in all fields where waste will be applied
must be analyzed at least annually so that all plant nutrients, can be balanced for
realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Soil test and waste analysis records shall
be kept for five (5) years.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order
to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to insure 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. Lime must be applied to application fields as
recommended by soil test to maintain the plant uptake of nutrients.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates,
leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water
holding capacities.
3. Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding at less than five tons
per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at
five or more tons but less than ten tons per acre per year providing

grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field.
4. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall,
or when the soil surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may
result in runoff to surface waters which is a violation of the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) .0200 regulations.
5. Wind conditions at the time of field application of waste should also
be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems.
6. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce
the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing
crop. Otherwise, apply waste no earlier than 30 days prior to
planting a crop or prior to forages breaking dormancy. Injecting or
otherwise incorporating animal waste below the soil surface will
conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
7. Zinc and copper levels in the soils in all fields where waste is applied
shall be monitored and alternative application fields shall be used
when these metals approach excess levels.
This plan is based on waste application by pump and haul system and solid set
irrigation (method (s) of application) for this is the manner in which you have
chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to alter the method (s) of
application in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for
various waste application methods are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient
content for dairy (type operation) systems in North Carolina. Actual acreage
requirements shall be b ed on waste analysis reports from storage structures in
your waste managemeyA system.
Your waste stora a pond (storage structure) is designed for 180 a s of
temporary and a temporary storage must be removed on the av e of once
every six mon s. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your
structure gher than the maximum storage marker except on the event of a 25
year - 24 hour storm.

Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for
assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre to apply and the proper
application rate prior to applying the waste.
The waste management system which is covered by this waste utilization plan shall
be operated only by persons which hold a valid certificate as an operator in charge
of an animal waste management system.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance
with 15A NCAC21-1.0217 (the .0200 rules) adopted by the Water Pollution Control
System Operator Certification Commission.

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. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil
penalties of up to $10,000 per day per violation by the Division of Water
Quality for every day the discharge continues.
2. Follow the waste utilization plan on land that has been described in the plan
for receiving animal waste application.
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, climate conditions, and level of management unless there are
regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. Actual
yields may be used in lieu of realistic yield tables at discretion of the
planner.
4. Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding at less than five tons per acre
per year. Waste may be applied on land that is eroding at five or more tons
but less than ten tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are
installed where runoff leaves the field. (See NRCS Field Office Technical
Guide Standard 393--Filter Strips)
5. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events,
or when soil surface is frozen. 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.
6. Wastes shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop
or forages breaking dormancy.
7. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.

9. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet to dwellings other
than those owned by the landowner.
10. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public
rights -of -way.
11. Animal waste applied on grassed waterways shall be at agronomic rates and
in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. Animal waste shall
not be applied on grassed waterways which discharge directly into water
courses.
12. 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 excess levels.
13. Soil test and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years.
14. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed soil infiltration rates.
No ponding shall occur.
15. A highly visible marker shall be installed to mark the maximum storage
volume for waste storage ponds. For waste treatment lagoons, highly
visible permanent markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom
elevations of the temporary storage. Pumping shall be managed to maintain
the liquid level between the markers.
16. Records of waste application shall be maintained to establish actual
application rates. The records will include date of application, amount of
waste applied per acre by tract number and field number, most recent waste
analysis and soil test report, and the realistic yield expectation. (R.Y.E.)
nitrogen rate. Waste application records shall be maintained for five years.
17. Reduce hayland nitrogen rate by 25 percent on grassland being grazed when
applying animal waste.
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.

1.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, etc. should be inspected on a
regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills.
20. 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, number of
animals (an increase), method of utilization, or available land.
21. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC regulations.
North Carolina General Statute 106-403 requires that dead animals be
dispose of within 24 hours in a manner approved by the state veterinarian.
7
22. Insect control and odor control checklists shall be included as well as an
mergency Action Plan.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
SHADY GROVE DAIRY
The animal waste at Shady Grove Dairy is scraped into three waste
storage ponds. Waste storage pond #1 is located below the milking
parlor, holding pen and old freestall barn and is designed for 150
cows for 180 days storage. Waste storage ponds #2 and #3 are
located at the ends of two newer freestall barns and catch the
waste and run off from each barn. These two storage ponds together
are designed for 250 cows with 180 days storage. This waste
utilization plan is written for an average of 400 animals confined
100e of the time in these areas. There is also a dry cow barn
where solids will be cleaned out and land applied.
The waste is land applied utilizing a solid set irrigation system
pumping out of WSP #1, pump and haul system from WSP #2 and WSP #3
with two 4000 gallon slurry tanks and one 3600 gallon slurry tank
and a six ton solids box spreader to haul solid manure from the dry
cow barn. The plan indicates that there is not adequate land set
aside for irrigation to apply all of the waste out of WSP #1 by
irrigating so the remainder of waste will be hauled out in slurry
tanks to other fields. Approximately 29 acres of land are available
to apply waste through the solid set irrigation system and 571
acres for pump and haul and solid waste application. The summary
tables include all fields to which waste can be applied. . .
The cropping system which is utilized on Shady Grove Dairy is a
double cropping system with corn for silage and small grain for
silage. There is also 24.5 acres of fescue pasture and 8.5 acres
of orchard grass where waste can be applied. Fall waste
applications are generally made to fields where corn silage has
been harvested prior to sowing small grain for silage. Spring
waste applications are made to the same fields where small grain
has been harvested for silage prior to planting corn. There is
approximately 40 pounds of nitrogen applied to small grain by
commercial fertilizer and 140 pounds of nitrogen to the corn crop
by commercial fertilizer. There is more than adequate land to make
all waste applications.
The Realistic Yield Expectations (R.Y.E.) at Shady Grove Dairy
are as follows:

The irrigation applications made from WSP #1 are calculated using
5.0 lbs of PAN/1000 gallons of waste and the pump and haul
applications made from WSP #2 and WSP #3 are calculated using
10.0 lbs of PAN/1000 gallons of waste.
Application Rate from irrigation: = crop PAN recruirement (lb) x 1000
acre lb. PAN/10o0
gallons
Corn Silage = 76 lbs. PAN x 1000 = 15,200 gallons = .55 inches
5.0
Small Grain Silage = 80 lbs. PAN x 1000 = 15,200 gallons = .55 inches
5.0
Fescue Pasture = 150 lbs. PAN x 1000 = 30, 000 gallons per year
5.0
= 15, 000 gallons per application
= .55 inches
Application Rate from pump and haul system:
Applic. rate = crop PAN recruirement (lb) x 1000
acre lb. PAN/1000 gallons
Corn Silage = 76 lbs. PAN/ac. x 1000 = 7,600 gallons
10
Small Grain Silage = 80 lbs. PAN/ac. x 1000 = 8, 000 gallons
10
Fescue Pasture = 150 lbs. PAN/ac. x 1000 = 15, 000 gallons/ac/yr

Orchardgrass = 200 lbs. PAN x 1000 = 20, 000 gallons/ac/yr

Total Annual Accumulation of Waste

WSP #1 = 581,400 gallons
WSP #2 = 503,850 gallons
WSP #3 = 465,100 gallons
Total 1,550,350 gallons
The summary tables show that there is enough land to apply
4,799,350 gallons in the spring and 5,034,250 gallons in the
fall.

Acres needed for waste application utilizing the double cropping system
follows:
Acres need for application = gallon of waste produced every 6 months.
waste application rate/acre
Acres of corn land = 1, 550, 350 gallons = 204 acres
7,600 gallons/ac.
Acres of small grain land = 1, 550,350 gallons = 194 acres
8,000 gallons/ac.
You must have the animal waste analyzed to determine the nutrient
content within 60 days of application. Soil nutrients in all
fields where waste will be applied must be analyzed annually.
Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and
the nutrient content of the waste.
If at anytime you plan to add additional land to the plan for waste
application or make any changes to the plan, you need to contact
your technical specialist to make an amendment to the plan.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: Shady Grove Dairy
Location: 4324 Shady Grove Church Rd., East Bend, NC 27018
Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: Dairy
Number of Animals: 400
(Design Capacity)
Application Method(s): (2) 4000 gallon slurry tanks, solid set irrigations
system, (1) 3600 gallon slurry tank, 6 ton solid solids manure spreader
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. You must have
the animal waste analyzed to determine nutrient content as close to the time of
application as practical and at least within 60 days of the date of application before
each application cycle. Soil nutrients in all fields where waste will be applied
must be analyzed at least annually so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for
realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Soil test and waste analysis records shall
be kept for five (5) years.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order
to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to insure 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. Lime must be applied to application fields as
recommended by soil test to maintain the plant uptake of nutrients.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates,
leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water
holding capacities.
3. Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding at less than five tons
per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at
five or more tons but less than ten tons per acre per year providing

grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field.
4. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall,
or when the soil surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may
result in runoff to surface waters which is a violation of the North
Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) .0200 regulations.
5. Wind conditions at the time of field application of waste should also
be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems.
6. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce
the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing
crop. Otherwise, apply waste no earlier than 30 days prior to
planting a crop or prior to forages breaking dormancy. Injecting or
otherwise incorporating animal waste below the soil surface will
conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
7. Zinc and copper levels in the soils in all fields where waste is applied
shall be monitored and alternative application fields shall be used
when these metals approach excess levels.
This plan is based on waste application by pump and haul system and solid set
irrigation (method (s) of application) for this is the manner in which you have
chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to alter the method (s) of
application in the future, you need to revise this plan Nutrient levels for
various waste application methods are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient
content for dairy (type operation) systems in North Carolina. Actual acreage
requirements shall be based on waste analysis reports from storage structures in
your waste management system.
Your waste storage pond (storage structure) is designed for 180 days of
temporary and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once
everysix months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your
structure be higher than the maximum storage marker except on the event of a 25
year - 24 hour storm.

Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for
assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre to apply and the proper
application rate prior to applying the waste.
The waste management system which is covered by this waste utilization plan shall
be operated only by persons which hold a valid certificate as an operator in charge
of an animal waste management system.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance
with 15A NCAC2H.0217 (the .0200 rules) adopted by the Water Pollution Control
System Operator Certification Commission.

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. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil
penalties of up to $10,000 per day per violation by the Division of Water
Quality for every day the discharge continues.
2. Follow the waste utilization plan on land that has been described in the plan
for receiving animal waste application.
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, climate conditions, and level of management unless there are
regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. Actual
yields may be used in lieu of realistic yield tables at discretion of the
planner.
4. Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding at less than five tons per acre
per year. Waste may be applied on land that is eroding at five or more tons
but less than ten tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are
installed where runoff leaves the field. (See NRCS Field Office Technical
Guide Standard 393--Filter Strips)
5. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events,
or when soil surface is frozen. 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.
6. Wastes shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop
or forages breaking dormancy.
7. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.

9. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet to dwellings other
than those owned by the landowner.
10. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public
rights -of -way.
11. Animal waste applied on grassed waterways shall be at agronomic rates and
in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. Animal waste shall
not be applied on grassed waterways which discharge directly into water
courses.
12. 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 excess levels.
13. Soil test and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years.
14. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed soil infiltration rates.
No ponding shall occur.
15. A highly visible marker shall be installed to mark the maximum storage
volume for waste storage ponds. For waste treatment lagoons, highly
visible permanent markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom
elevations of the temporary storage. Pumping shall be managed to maintain
the liquid level between the markers.
16. Records of waste application shall be maintained to establish actual
application rates. The records will include date of application, amount of
waste applied per acre by tract number and field number, most recent waste
analysis and soil test report, and the realistic yield expectation. (R.Y.E.)
nitrogen rate. Waste application records shall be maintained for five years.
17. Reduce hayland nitrogen rate by 25 percent on grassland being grazed when
applying animal waste.
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, etc. should be inspected on a
regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills.
20. 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, number of
animals (an increase), method of utilization, or available land.
21. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC regulations.
North Carolina General Statute 106-403 requires that dead animals be
disposed of within 24 hours in a manner approved by the state veterinarian.
22. Insect control and odor control checklists shall be included as well as an
Emergency Action Plan.

5. Open pump discharge gate valve slightly and allow all air to purge from
system lines.
6. Raise tractor RPM until desired pump pressure is met.
System Shut -Down
1. Operate guns at each hydrant for no more than the 2 hour designed limit.
2. Lower tractor RPM to idle speed.
3. Disengage tractor PTO.
4. Close pump discharge gate valve.
5_ Move gun carts to next location and repeat system start-up.
Flushing
1. Flushing needs to take place after a pumping sequence. Do not allow the
waste to sit in the pipeline for more than a week without flushing.
2. Move pump to the flush hydrant located at the water source.
3. Follow system start-up and shut -down procedures with the gun carts located
at the end of the lines. Be sure to flush each of the 4 dead ends.
4. While pump is running with fresh water, open the ground entry gate valve
slightly to flush the waste in the ground entry pipe.

.Agitation
1. For best pumping results, agitation needs to take place during and or
prior to pumping.
Winterization
1. Open all drains in the system. (Pomp, Pipeline, etc.)
=; Do not open the drains unless the pipeline has been flushed. =*
2. Open ground entry gate valve and pour in a small amount of anti -freeze.
3. Leave ground entry gate valve slightly open.'
4. After water has drained from the system lines, close the drain valves.
Maintenance
1. Follow all operators manuals supplied with the system.
2. Grease hydrant stems at least annually.
3. Observe the system to make sure that the system is operating properly.
4. Replace any worn or damaged parts as soon as possible.
General
I. Do not operate system under windy conditions. (Wind drift will result)
2. Do not operate system when it is raining or right after a heavy rainfall
event. (If ground is already saturated, runoff will occur)
3. Do not operate if ground is frozen. (Runoff will occur)
4. Operate system at specified times as shown in waste management plan.

Field Calibration Procedures for Solid and
Semi -Solid Animal Waste Application Equipment
WEIGHT -AREA Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operat-
METHOD ing conditions for relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application
SPREADER SYSTEM rates change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. For
solid or semi -solid application equipment, application rates and patterns may
vary depending on forward travel and/or PTO speed, gear box settings, gate
openings, operating pressures, spread widths, and overlaps.
Equipment should be calibrated on a regular basis to ensure proper appli-
cation rates and uniformity. Calibration is a simple procedure involving col-
lecting and measuring the material being applied at several locations in the
application area. Calibration helps ensure that nutrients from animal waste
are applied efficiently and at proper rates.
Solid or semi -solid (slurry) applicators can be calibrated by one of two
methods: load -area method, and weight -area method.
Load -Area Method
To use the load -area method, you must know the
spreader capacity. Spreader capacity is normally rated
by the manufacturer and often is indicated on the
application equipment. Liquid spreaders are normally
rated in gallons while semi -solid spreaders are rated in
either bushels or cubic feet.
As the name implies, the load -area method
involves applying a full load to a measured area. For
ease of measurement, it is best to use a rectangular
field pattern. For PTO -driven spreaders, application
rate is dependent on ground speed so a uniform speed
must be maintained throughout the swath length.
Ground -driven applicators apply reasonably uniform
rates independent of ground speed. Refer to fact sheet
AG-553-5 for detailed calibration procedures.
Weight -Area Method
The weight -area method is often used for solid and
semi -solid spreaders. The procedure involves measur-
ing the spreader discharge over a small measured area.
The application rate is determined by dividing the
collected material (weight) by the collection area;
Weight -Area Method Calibration
Procedure
1. Obtain a tarp or plastic sheet of about 100 square
feet (9'X12', 10'X10', 10'X12% etc.) and measure for
exact surface area (length X width).
2. Weigh the tarp using a set of spring -tension or
platform scales.
3. Spread the tarp and pin on the field surface at
each corner with a tent stake or long nail through
the eyelets.
4. Operate the spreader over the center of the tarp at
the speed normally driven when applying manure on
the field.
5. Make two additional passes on two opposite sides
of the center of the tarp at the normal spreader
overlap spacing.
6. Remove and fold the tarp being careful not to spill
any collected material. Weigh the tarp and manure
(gross weight).

Figure 1 (above). Proper spreader patterns
necessary to achieve application uniformity.
7. Subtract the empty tarp weight from the gross
tarp plus manure weight to obtain the weight of
manure applied.
8. Divide the amount of manure collected (pounds)
by the tarp area (square feet) and multiply this value
by 21.8 (43,560 ft2/ac divided by 2,000lbs/ton) to
convert pounds per square foot to tons per acre.
9. If the application rate needs to be adjusted, make
the necessary changes (spreader settings, speed, or
both) and repeat the procedure until the desired
application rate is obtained.
Spreader Pattern Uniformity
Determination of spreader uniformity is an impor-
tant component of spreader calibration. The pattern
shape and uniformity determines the overlap re-
quired for uniform application. One of the pattern
shapes shown in Figure 1 is required for a uniform
application.
SOLIDS
SPREADER
To determine the uniformity of spread and the
amount of overlap needed:
E 1. Place a line of small pans or trays equally spaced (2
to 4 feet apart) across the spreader path (See Figure 2).
Label the pans chronologically as left or right from
the center pan. Center pans may need to be shifted
slightly out of the spreader wheel tracks. (Pans should
be a minimum of 12 by 12 inches, no more than 24
by 24 inches, and 2 to 4 inches deep.)
2. Make one spreader pass directly over the center
pan at normal operating speed and spreader settings.
Record
— spinner PTO speed,
— flow divider delivery point onto the spinners,
and
— the spreader gate setting.
3. Weigh and record the contents caught in each pan.
4. The effective spread width is found by locating the
pan on either side of the path center where the
contents caught in the container is one-half the
amount caught in the center pan.
S. The distance between the two pans on either side
of the center (in Number 4) is the effective width. The
outer fringes of the coverage area beyond these points
should be overlapped on each subsequent path.

determine spreader pattern, swath width,

CALIBRATING SOLID AND SEMI -SOLID MANURE SPREADERS USING THE WEIGHT -AREA METHOD
1. Spread a tarp or plastic sheet over the ground surface and secure with pins or small weights. The tarp should
have at least 100 square feet (9'X12', 10'X10', etc.) of surface area.
a. width . X length = area ft'
2. Start applying manure downrange of the tarp and spread directly across the center of it in a manner similar
to the regular spreading patterns and settings of the applicator (speed, spreader settings, overlap).

3. Transfer the manure collected on the tarp into a weighing container and weigh using an accurate set of spin -
tension or platform scales.
e. Empty weight of weighing container Ibs
f. Gross weight of container + manure Ibs
g. Net weight of manure (f — e) Ibs
4. Compute the manure application rate:
h. Area or tarp (a) ft2

j. Application rate (i X 43560 _ 2000) tons/acre
5. Compute the nutrient application rate:

K 2 0 Ibs/ton
I. Application rate N Ibs/acre

6. If the application rate is not acceptable, repeat the procedure at different spreader settings, speeds,
or both (Item 2) until the desired application rate is achieved.
