replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows.
This COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2019, and shall hereby void

If your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) has been developed based on site-specific information, careful
evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current WUP is inaccurate
you will need to have a new WUP 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 orpersonal property.
Per NRCS standards a 1 00-foot separation shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon,
storage pond, 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

215 .6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to
apply for an individual permit by contacting th~ Animal Feeding Operations Program for information on
this process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding.

hours of the time that the National Weather Service issues a Hurricane Warning, Tropical Storm Warning,
or a Flood Watch associated with a tropical system for the county in which the facility is located. You may

I (we) understand that I must own or have acces to equipment, primarily irrigation equipment,
to land apply the animal waste described in this waste utilization plan. This equipment must
be available at the appropriate pumping time such that no discharge occurs from the lagoon
in a 25-year 1-day storm event. I also certify that the waste will be applied on the land
according to this plan at the appropriate times and at rates that no runoff occurs.

Dear John,
May 7, 2003
In regards to a Notice of Violation/Request for _Information received from Alan Klimek
dated April 16, 2003 concerning Sinclair Hog Farm, facility number 82-624, I enclose the
following items:
-Irrigation records for the previous twelve months
-Weekly freeboard levels for the previous twelve months
Current lagoon level, according to the lagoon marker is 21" of freeboard.
The cropping system is jn place as per our waste plan.
On March 22"d, we had a private contractor begin pumping and hauling waste from our
farm to another location (map enclosed). This was carried out for three days and a total of
378,000 gallons were hauled off-site. Irrigation occurred as soon as weather and soil
conditions were favorable for application and in accordance with permit requirements.
We have installed some water saving drinkers in one of our hog houses. We are currently
awaiting a contractor to come in and install these same devices in our other buildings.
This should reduce water usage by 40% or more.
The lagoon level is not presently in violation of permit requirements.
I irrigate only when weather and soil conditions are favorable and so as not to experience
run-off or pending. In the future I plan to take full advantage of good weather conditions
so that I can avoid this situation arising again. I cannot insure that this lagoon will never
experience a freeboard violation in the future. I am fully aware of my permit
responsibilities and will promptly call the DWQ if waste encroaches into my permitted
freeboard level.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me at 910 564-4991

Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or
groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops
in the fields where the waste is to be applied .
. This waste ;Utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil
tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be
balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be g r own .
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization
plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to
ensure that_it is applied in an environmentall y -sa fe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutri e nt content o f the wa ste. Do not apply
more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are imgprtant as they hav e different infiltration
rates, le a ching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and
a v ailable water holding capacities .
3. Normally waste shall not be applied to lan d eroding at less
than 5 ton s per ac r e per year. Waste may be applied to land _
eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually , but less than
10 tons per acre per year providing tha t adequate filter
strips a r e _es t ablished.
4. Do not apply was t e on saturated
or when the surfac e · is frozen.

5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production
and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should
be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30
days_prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting .the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above . If
you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this
.plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the
same. . ·-.. •:
. ~· .-:.··· .i
The estimated acr~s neesJ,ed to apply the animal waste is based on ·.<=s:;:·
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant :
analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied . .
Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible
so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific
crop. production.
1/
This waste 'utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 1SA NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the ·Environmental
Management Commission .
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
1250 sows x 6.1 tons waste/sows/year = 7625 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
1250 sows x 5.4 lbs PAN /sows/year = 6750 lbs. PAN/year
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You s h ould plan
time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely
manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste appl ication based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

Indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. interplanted) or
winter annuals follow summer annuals.
In idterplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded
in bermudagrass) 1 forage ffiUSt be .. removed through grazing,
hay and /or silage . Where grazing, plants should be grazed
when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle
should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four
inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed
for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small
grain to reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May) . Shading may result if small grain gets too
high and this will definitely interfere with stand of
bermudagrass . ·This loss of stand will result in reduced
yields and less nitrogen ·being utilized . Rather than
cutting small ·grain for hay or silage just before heading as.
is the normal situatioa, you are encouraged to cu~ the small
grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or
silage two to three times during the season, depending on
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late
September or early October . Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a
height of about· two inches before drilling for best results.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
This number must be less than or equal to 0 in order to fully
utilize the animal waste N produced.
Acres -shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres exc.luding required buffers, filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be i~rigated, and -perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be , more than
the acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION :
:::.
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land .
application of sludge at agronomic rates . The sludge will be nutrient ..
rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application :.:
of nutrients or other elements . Your production facility will produce ... :
approximately 1100 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the · ..
sludge. ,
f./
If you remove the sludge eve~ 5 years, you ·will have approximately 5500
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid
bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 18.3333333333 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate ···of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 44 acres
of land . Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land _ needed. ·Actual requi rements could vary by 25% depending on your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application
methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation applicati o n rate should not exc eed the intake rate of the.
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or pending occurs. This ·
rate is limited by i n itial soil mois~ure content, so i l structure, soil ·
texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount
should not exceed the available water holding capaci t y of the soil at the
time of irrigatio n nor ·sho uld the plant avai l able nitrogen applied exceed
the n i trogen needs of the crop. ·
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan,
it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure
that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres
shown in Tables 1 and 2 . Failure to apply the recommended rates and

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be
used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where
waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle . Annual soil tests are strongly
encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realist ic yields of the crop to be
grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the was te and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe
manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
contents of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize . Soil types are
important as they have different infiltration rates , leaching potenti als , cation exchange
capacities , and avaialable water holding capacities . Normally waste shall not be applied to
land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre-cautions, waste may
be applied to land eroding at up to 1 0 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on
saturated soils, when it is raining , or when the surface is frozen . Either of these conditions
may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulat ions . Wind
conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwi nd odor problems. To
maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to redu ce the potential for
pollution , the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more
than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems. This plan is based on waste application through irrigation fo r this is
the manner in wh ich you have chosen to apply your waste . If you c hoose to inje ct the waste
in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrie nt levels for inje cting waste and irrigating
waste are not the same.
The estimated acres needed t o apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. Acreage requ irements should be based on the waste analysis report
from your waste management facility . Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation , and transfer of waste samples to the lab for ananlysis. This waste
utilization plan, if carried ou t, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission .

AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons , ft3, t ons. etc.)
1250 sows X 6.1 tons waste/sows/year = 7625 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
1250 sows X 5.41bs PAN/sows/year= 6750 PAN/year
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate
equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed fo r waste application based on the crop to be grown,
soil type and suface application.

Acres show in each of the preceeding tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding
required buffers , filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter
areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the
fields listed may , and most likely witt be , more than the acres shown in the tables .
NOTE : The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of
sludge at agronomic rates . The sludge will be nurturient rich and witt require precautionary
measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility
will produce approximately 1100 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the
sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis . This figure is PAN when
broadcasting the sludge . Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special
equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge .
See the attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of
irrigation such that runoff or pending occurs . This rate is limited by initial soil moisture
content, soil structure, soil texture , water droplet size , and organic solids . The application
amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of
irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the
crop.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 5.92 months. In no instance should the volume of
waste being stored in your structure be within 1.6 feet of the top of the dike.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsiblity of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid .

PLANS & 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 assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Water Quality for every
day the discharge continues.
2 . The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has long term access to adequate land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy
of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing
him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production
facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste
Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals,
method of utilization, or available land .
3 . Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic
crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other
nutrients.
4 . Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or
an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater
than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves
the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM . (See FOTG
Stantard 393 ·Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers).
5 . Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or dis king after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field .
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding , it will be soil incorporated
on conventionally tilled cropland . When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the
waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to
flooding . (See ''Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the NRCS Technical Reference-
Environment file for guidance.)
*7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that
runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions
conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is
not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with
a high potential for leaching . Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a
minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall
not be · applied more than 30 days prior to planting of a crop on bare soil.
11 . Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following:
the outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a
component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary
Page 7 of9
and from any perennial stream or river (other that an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste
other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied
closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393-Filter Strips)
12 . Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal Waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landownwer.
14 . Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
discharge or by over-spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted croplands
provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist".
Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water
courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the application causes no runoff or drift
·from the site .
*16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers , toilets , sinks, etc.,
shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system.
*17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be
provided for these areas and shall be fenced , as necessary, to protect the vegetation.
Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where
considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible . Lagoon berms
and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge.
*18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility
of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
*19. Waste handling structures , piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills . A regular maintenance checklist should be
kept on site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct
human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human
consumption, it should only be applied as a preemergence with no other applications of
animal waste during the crop season .
*21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the
temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons . Pumping shall be
managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers . A marker will be required to mark
the maximum storage volume fpr waste storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least
annually at crop sites where waste products are applied . Nitrogen shall be the rate-
determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative
crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted
for optimum crop production amd maintained. Soil and waste analysi s records shall be kept
for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years .

23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina Department of
Agriculture regulations .

I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specifications and the operation and
maintenance precedures estalished in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm
named above. I (we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste
treatment and/or storage system or construction of new facilities will require a new utilization
plan and a new certification to be submitted to OEM before the new animals are stocked.
I (we) understand that I must own or have acces to equipment, primarily irrigation equipment,
to land apply the an i mal waste described in this waste utilization plan. This equipment must
be available at the appropriate pumping time such that no discharge occurs from the lagoon
in a 25-year 1-day storm event. I also certify that the waste will be applied on the land
according to this plan at the appropriate times and at rates that no runoff occurs .
