Dear Billy Peterson:
Subject: Sludge Survey Testing Dates
Certificate of Coverage No. A WS820636
Oak Branch 1-2
Animal Waste Management System
Sampson County
The Division of Water Resources (Division) received your sludge survey information on June
19, 2015. With the survey results, you requested an extension of the sludge survey requirement
for the lagoon at the Oak Branch 1-2 facility. Due to the amount of treatment volume available,
the Division agrees that a sludge survey is not needed until 2017 for Lagoon #1.
The next sludge survey for this lagoon should be performed before December 31, 2017.
Please call me at [phone] if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Miressa D. Garoma

Attached with this email are the photos taken during our visit to the Oak Branch/Peterson farm in Sampson County. Also
attached are maps that show the ponded area, with a topo map that indicates the feature that bisects the property as a
blue line feature. The soil survey that I reviewed doesn't indicate the feature on the NRCS map. Therefore the feature is
either a ephemeral or intermittent stream at best.
MVC-0575 is a photo of the pending in the NW corner of the spray field;
MVC-0585 is a photo with the pending area and the hole that drains into the ditch feature along the tree line;
MVC-0595 same as 058S but taken from the opposite side of the ditch;

MVC-063S ponding located in the NE corner of spray field;
MVC-0645 drainage area/channel at NE corner of spray field that has been filled in to prevent wastewater from leaving
spray field
We arrived at the Peterson farm at 3pm and investigated the ponded area that the flight team observed. Mr. Marcus
Peterson arrived around 3:30pm and we discussed our findings with Mr. Peterson. Mr. Peterson was shown the area of
concern with respect to the ponding in the NW corner of the field and the ability of wastewater to migrate into the
woods line ditch. Mr. Peterson indicated that he would fix the depression in the spray field, along with filling in the hole
that would allow wastewater to migrate into the ditch. Mr. Peterson indicated that he intends to plow the spray field
and plant corn for this growing season.
A inspection of the farm lagoon indicated that the freeboard on 29 April was approximately 30"-31". Mr. Peterson
stated that he irrigated earlier in the day and that he intended to irrigate the other two "pulls" in the field this week to
prepare for planting corn early next week.
We departed the Peterson farm at 4:30pm to return to the Harnett County airport .

Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or
groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops
in the fields where the waste is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil
tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be
balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization
plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to
ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply
more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and
available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than
5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land
eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than
10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter
strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining,
or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions
may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWQ regulations.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production
and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should
be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30
days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If
you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this
plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the
same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant
analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied.
Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible
so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific
crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission.
AMOUNT OP WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gal1ons, ft3, tons, etc.)
1440 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 2736 tons
AMOUNT OP PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN') PRODUCED PER YEAR
1440 hogs x 6.9 lbs PAN/hogs/year= 9936 lbs. PAN/year
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan
time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely
manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

Indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. interplanted) or
winter annuals follow summer annuals.
In interplanted fields (i.e . small grain, etc, interseeded
in bermudagrass), forage must 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 situation, you are encouraged to cut the small
grain earl i er. 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.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than
the acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain prov~s~ons 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 532.8 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 2664
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 8.88 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 21.312 acres
of land . Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application
methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or 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.
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
AND!AL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

* This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil
assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over
applied. In many situations, the application amount shown cannot
be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil
conditions.
Your facility is designed for 180.00 days of temporary storage and
the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every
6.00 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored
in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one
foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to
ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the
correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may
make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis
report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and
the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
This plan is written as a three year rotation. That is the reason that
the PAN/hog/year is 6.9 instead of 2.3. Tract 743 field 6, has 6.7 acres of
bermudagrass pasture that will be overseeded with small grains in the fall.
The allowable amont of nitrogen that can be applied to this field per acre is
230 lbs. for bermudagrass and 50 lbs. for small grain. The numbers in table 1
are for three years since the plan is written for a three year rotaton.
Tract 1165 field 3 will have three acres that over three years will use a
cotton-winter annual for one year. Followed by a corn, wheat, and soybeans
rotaion over the next two years.
Tract 1165 field 3 will also have 9.3 acres that will have a cotton-winter
annual for one year. Followed by a tobacco-winter ann~al the next year.
Followed
by a corn-winter annual the third year.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
RBOUIRKP SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by
runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct applicatio"n, or
direct discharge during operation or land application. Any
discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the
producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate
land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does
not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall
provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a
reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for
waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the
facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when
there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of
animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3 . Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the
nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type,
available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict
the rate of application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons
per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding
at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year
providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves
the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip)
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after
waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is
danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6 . When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to
flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled
cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or
grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application
does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather
and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil
infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to
surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from
the site during appl i cation. No pending should occur in order
to control odor or flies .
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
9 . Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such
a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that
would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal
waste should also be considered .
Page: l.O
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for
spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for
leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be
held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to
take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more
than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking
dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall
comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area
onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of
a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential
property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other
than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than
swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995),
shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters.
(See Standard 393 -Filter Strips) .
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to
wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of
dwellings other than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property
and public right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters,
drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over-spraying.
Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided
they have been approved as a land application site by a
"technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on
grassed waterways that discharges directly into water courses,
and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at
agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from
the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities,
showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the
animal waste management system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be
established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms,
pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to
protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and
other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered
appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible.
Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence
of erosion, leakage or discharge.

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

Based on information submitted with the facility's Animal Facility Annual Certification Form,
the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is requesting additional information related to the annual
average of animals for the year 2004.
The Certificate of Coverage (COC) A WS820636 of your General Permit states:
"This approval shall consist of the operation of this system, including, but not limited to,
the management of animal waste from the Oak Branch 1-2 located in Sampson County,
with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 1,140 Feeder to Finish
swine and the application to land as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste
Management Plan (CA WMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation,
there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unnecessary, they may be
replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a
rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows."
The Division received your annual certification form on March 10, 2005. On that form, you
indicated that your annual average was 3,000. This exceeds the annual average specified in your
COC of 1,140 Feeder to Finish. To avoid possible enforcement action for a violation of your
permit, please submit the facility's stocking records for the year 2004 within thirty (30) days to

On June 11,2004, the North Carolina Division ofWater Quality (Division) issued a revised State General
Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill
733 (Session Law 2003-28).
In accordance with your application received on January 24, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of
Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Billy G
Peterson, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land
application system in accordance with General Pennit AWG 100000. The issuance of this COC
supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS820636 which expires October 1, 2004.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Oak Brach 1-2, located in Sampson County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than an annual average of 1440 Feeder to Finish swine and the application to land as specified in
the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or
Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary,
they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a
rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009. 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 CA WMP, 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.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Since this is a revised State
General Permit, it contains new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the
previous State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and
revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay careful attention to the record keeping
and monitoring conditions in this permit.

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 shou ld be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil
tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be
balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization
plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to
ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not appl y
more nitrogen than the crop c an ut ili z e .
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials , cation exchange papacities, and
available wat er holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than
5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land
eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than
10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter
strips are established.
4-Do not apply waste on saturated
or when the surface is frozen.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
5 . Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor problems .
6 . To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production
and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should
be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30
days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above . If
you choose to change methods in the future, y o u need to revise this
plan . Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the
same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility . Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management facility . In some cases you may want to hav e plant
analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied.
Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible
so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific
crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with lSA NCAC 2H .0217 adopted b y the Environmental
Management Commission.

Indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e . interplanted) or
winter annuals follow summer annuals.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded
in bermudagrass), forage must 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 situation, you are encouraged to cut t he 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.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the
usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches,
odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than
the acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of
animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land
application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient
rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application
of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 532.8 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 2664
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 8.88 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre , you will need 21.312 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application
methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the
soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or 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.
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
Page: 7

* This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil
assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over
applied. In many situations, the application amount shown cannot
be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil
conditions.
Your facility is designed for 180.00 days of temporary storage and
the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every
6.00 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored
in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one
foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to
ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the
correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may
make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis
report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and
the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
This plan is written as a three year rotation. That is the reason that
the PAN/hog/year is 6.9 instead of 2.3. Tract 743 field 6, has 6.7 acres of
bermudagrass pasture that will be overseeded with small grains in the fall.
The allowable amont of nitrogen that can be applied to this field per acre is
230 lbs. for bermudagrass and 50 lbs. for small grain. The numbers in table 1
are for three years since the plan is written for a three year rotaton.
Tract 1165 field 3 will have three acres that over three years will use a
cotton-winter annual for one year. Followed by a corn, wheat , and soybeans
rotaion over the next two years.
Tract 1165 field 3 will also have 9 .3 acres that will have a cotton-winter
annual for one y ear. Followed by a tobacco-winter annual the next year.
Followed
by a corn-winter annual the third year.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
l. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by
runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or
direct discharge during operation or land application. Any
discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the
producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate
land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does
not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall
provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a
reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for
waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the
facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when
there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of
animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the
nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type,
available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict
the rate of application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons
per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding
at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year
providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves
the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip)
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after
waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is
danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to
flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled
cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or
grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application
does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather
and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil
infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to
surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from
the site during application. No ponding should occur in order
to control odor or flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such
a manne~ that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that

and public right -of-ways.
15. Animal wast e shall not be discharged into surface waters,
drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over-spraying.
Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided
they have b een approved as a land application site by a
"technical specialist 11 • Animal was t e shall not be applied on
grassed waterways that discharges directly into water courses,
and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at
agronomic rates in a manne r that causes no runoff or drift from
the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities,
showers, toilets, sinks, etc ., shall not be discharged into the
animal waste management system .
17 . A protective cover of appropriat e vegetation will b e

terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and
implementing a 11 Closure plan 11 which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should
be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks,
and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on
site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables
and other crops for direct human consumption . However, if
animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it
should only be applied preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season.

Sampson County
In accordance with your application received on May 27, 1999, we 'are forwarding this Certificate of
Coverage (COC) issued to Billy G Peterson, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste
collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit
A WG 100000. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to,
the management of animal waste from the Billy G Peterson Farm, located in Sampson County, with an
animal capacity of no greater than 1440 Feeder to Finish and the application to land as specified in the
Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CA WMP).
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until April 30, 2003. Pursuant to this COC, you
are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC, with no discharge of wastes to
surface w aters. An ·adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and
operational in formation must be established for this farm. Any increase in waste production greater than
_the certified design capacity or increase in number of stocked animals above the number authorized by
this COC will require a modification to the CA WMP and this COC and shall be completed prior to
actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
The facility 's CA WMP meets all requirements in place at the time of certification. However, it appears
that the irrigation system on site may not adequately cover all acreage listed in the Waste Utilization
Plan. The owner should begin to address this inconsistency as soon as possible.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Pennit
or the CA WMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143 -
215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive relief. ·

OPERA TJON AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and
180 days of temporary storage. The time required for the planned
fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary
due to site conditions. weather, flushing operations, and the amount
of fresh water added to the system .
The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for:
(1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also
included is storage for the 25 year -24 hour storm for the ~ocation.
The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be
fair1y constant throughout the year and from year to year. but ex cess
rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will not
be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage
volume must always be available.
A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin
pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from
building(s). If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to
begin pumping, a pennanent marker must be installed at this ~levation
to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established
to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth .
Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two
elevations for operating convenience as site condit ions permit. such as
weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without
runoff or leaching.
land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable
method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set ,
center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be
taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre-
charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent ex c essive odors during
start-up. Pre-charging reduces the concentration of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odo rs. Solids should be
covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete.
flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh wat e r should not
be used for flushing after initial filling . ·
2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This
ptan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachme nt)
before land application .
3· Begin temporary storage pump-out of the lagoon >1hen fluid level reac hes the
elevation 45.3 as mari(ed by permanent marker. Stop puml}-
out when lhe fluid level reaches elevation 43.2 . This temporary
storage, less 25 yr-24 hr storm. contains 71886 cubic feet or
53 77 10 gallons .
12
'· ~·
SHEET 20F 2
4 . The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is
one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0 .3
inch per hour. Refer to the waste utilization plan . for further details.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the
lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed
to maintain a vigorous stand .
6 . Repai r any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
establish in vegetation.
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable
outlets.
8. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around
waste ut i lization fields adjacent to perennial streams . Waste will
not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a
residence or within 1 00 feet of a well. Waste shall be applied in a
manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of
pollutants i ~to waters of the United States. The Department of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ-
mental Management, has t he responsibility for enforcing this law.

AGREEMENT TO DISTANCE REQUIREMENTS
Billy G. Peterson Farm
Location of Lagoon and Hog Houses
Corvie Peterson, Catherine Peterson, and Janice Peterson do hereby acknowledge the intent of Billy
G. Peterson to build and operate a hog farm on his property located on SR #1454 . We fully
understand that the proposed lagoon is located less than 750 feet from our residence as determined by
scaling on an aerial photograph. Regulations of the Natural Resources Conservation Services require a
minimum distance of 750 feet for this farm. In addition , there is no distance requirement for location
of the hog houses . We understand that the regulations have changed since the site was evaluated
however, this farm would be regulated by the current guidelines on the date of initial site investigation
which was September 6, 1994.
Knowing all of the above information and that the hog houses would be located in close proximity to the
lagoon, we hereby accept these terms as compliance with the guidelines for this farm.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
County : SAMPSON
_,,-,.-'\ •. !!". 'J
~-Nuinber of animal units-: 1440
~-· · Type of waste facility-: Anaerobic Lagoon Non-Discharge Permitting
Temporary storage period-: 180 days
Method of application--: Irrigate
Amount of animal waste produced.------: 2736 tons/year
Amount of plant available N produced by animals-: 3312 lbs./year
Commercial N to apply on planned acreage--: 0 lbs./year
Your animal waste utilization plan has been specifically developed for your swine operation. The plan
is based on the soil types, crops to be grown, and method of application for your particular operation.
The waste must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or ground water.
The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fenilizer
required for the crops where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan usf!S nitrogen as the
limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are
encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown .
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utiliza tion plan in order to maximize the
fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always
apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient co ntent of the waste. Do not
apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilized. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates and leaching potential. Waste shall not be applied to land eroding at g reater than 5 tons per acre
per year . Do not apply waste on saturated soils or on land when the surface is frozen . Either of these
conditions may result in runoff to surface waters. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid
drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to
reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or not more than 30 days
prior to planting . Soil incorporation of waste will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems .
