SPECIFIC CONDITIONS

GROUND Water Classification
Based on eight samples taken from each of the three monitor wells on the site in 2010 and 2011, ground water at the dairy site is classified as Class II Drinking Water Quality. Ground
water class at the west 200 acre-foot wastewater containment basin site (referred to as Storage Lagoon #4 in the Statement of Basis) was also defined following accelerated background
monitoring required in the prior permit. Based on eight samples taken from monitor well #4 and monitor well #5 in 2019 and 2020, the uppermost ground water is classified as Class IA
Drinking Water.

Background GROUND Water Quality and Protection Levels
Background ground water quality, based on eight samples taken in 2010 and 2011 (monitoring well 1-3) and an additional eight samples in 2019 and 2020 (monitoring wells 4-5) is summarized
in Table 1. Total dissolved solids (TDS) concentrations range from 600 to 1,100 milligrams per liter (mg/L) for monitoring wells 1-3, and between 240 to 244 for monitoring wells 4-5
and no parameters are above Utah Ground Water Quality Standards. Ground water quality and protection levels at the west, 200 acre-foot lagoon (Storage Lagoon #4) are set forth herein.

BEST Available Technology and Performance Standard

Best Available Technology
The administration of this permit is founded on the use of best available technology, in accordance with the requirements of UAC R317-6-1.3. Only wastes from the dairy operations may
be disposed of in the approved wastewater system.

Performance Standard for Best Available Technology
Compliance with the requirements for use of best available technology will be demonstrated by construction of the wastewater system in accordance with the applicable Construction Permits
issued by the Division of Water Quality (DWQ), including Part I of this permit. Land application of wastes shall be done in accordance with a Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan
developed by a certified nutrient management planner.

Closure Plan
At least 180 days prior to closure of any lagoon or lagoon system, the permittee shall submit to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) a site-specific closure plan for disposition of the
liquids, solids, and liner material of the lagoon(s) to be closed. The liner material must be disposed of in a manner which will not lead to ground water contamination. The monitoring
wells may be sampled for a post closure monitoring period as determined by DWQ.

Compliance Monitoring

Compliance Monitoring Wells
The permittee has constructed one up gradient and two down gradient compliance monitoring wells at the dairy site and one up gradient and a previously existing downgradient compliance
monitoring wells at the west site for Storage Lagoon #4. Information on these wells is listed in Table 3.

Holt Dairy will construct at least one upgradient and one downgradient well at any new staging lagoon site.

Protection of Monitoring Wells
All compliance monitoring wells must be protected from damage due to surface vehicular traffic or contamination due to surface spills, and shall be maintained in full operational condition
for the life of this permit. Any compliance monitoring well that becomes damaged beyond repair or is rendered unusable for any reason will be replaced by the Permittee within 90 days
or as directed by DWQ.

Ground Water Protection Levels
Protection levels for down gradient wells were derived from the background data according to UAC R317-6-4.5 are listed in Table 2. Protection levels apply only to changes in ground
water quality due to releases from the dairy facilities and not to changes due to natural ground water flow or ground water flow caused by basin-wide overproduction of ground water.

Monitoring Procedures

Water Quality Sampling Plan and Quality Assurance Project Plan.
All water quality monitoring to be conducted under this permit shall be conducted in accordance with the current or most recently-approved Sampling and Analysis Plan.

Frequency.
The permittee shall measure depth to ground water and determine ground water elevations as described below quarterly. Ground water compliance monitoring as described below shall be
conducted:

If ground water elevations in any monitor well drop below the elevation where ground water was first encountered during well drilling (250 feet below ground surface);

At least six months before the expiration date of this permit, and the results reported as part of the permit renewal application;

Upon request of DWQ.

Depth to Ground Water - Depth to ground water must be measured to the nearest 0.01 foot below the top of the well casing before collecting any samples from the wells.

Ground Water Elevations - Ground water elevations shall be determined by subtracting the depth to ground water measurement from the top of casing elevations in Table 1 and reported in
feet above mean sea level to the nearest 0.01 foot.

Ground Water Quality Sampling - grab samples of ground water from compliance monitoring wells will be collected for the following analyses.

Field Stabilization Parameters - pH, temperature, and specific conductance.

Laboratory Parameters – samples will be analyzed for compliance with the well-specific protection levels for the following parameters:
Ammonia as N,
Chloride,
Nitrate + nitrate as N, and
Total dissolved solids (TDS).

In addition, samples will be analyzed for the following major ions: bicarbonate, carbonate, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium.

Certified Laboratory - All laboratory analyses shall be performed by a laboratory certified by the State of Utah in accordance with UAC R317-6-6.3.L.

Sampling of MW-4 and MW-5 – Monitor wells 4 and 5 at Storage Lagoon #4 shall be sampled for the parameters listed in Part II.D.4(f), above. Unless an alternate plan is required by DWQ,
the upgradient well will be sampled semiannually and the downgradient well sampled quarterly.

Sampling of New Wells. New wells for any staging lagoon will be sampled according to Part II.D.4.b or Part II.D.4.g according to the classification of ground water determined following
accelerated background monitoring in Part II.D.4.i below. See Part II.G.2.

Accelerated Background Monitoring - At least eight samples shall be taken from all new monitor wells over a one-year period beginning immediately after well completion and development.
The results shall be reported to DWQ in Excel spreadsheet format, listing all parameters for each sampling event.

Non-Compliance Status

Probable Noncompliance Status
Exists if ground water quality monitoring results indicate that the protection levels developed for this permit are exceeded in any monitoring well or if the static ground water level
in any monitor well goes below 250 feet below ground surface for two consecutive quarters. In this case the permittee shall sample all monitor wells at the site, submit the analytical
results thereof, and notify DWQ of the probable noncompliance status within 30 days of the initial detection. The permittee shall implement an accelerated schedule of monthly sampling
of all monitor wells for at least three months or until directed by DWQ that monthly monitoring may stop.

Upon review of monitoring data and other information, DWQ may require the permittee to submit a source and contamination assessment study plan to determine the source or cause of the
contamination. The study plan shall be implemented upon DWQ approval.

Out-of-Compliance Status
Exists when the value for any one ground water pollutant exceeds the protection level in at least two consecutive sample events from a compliance monitoring point, and the results of
a source and contamination assessment study required by DWQ indicate that the contamination originated from the dairy facilities or from land application of dairy wastes from Holt Dairy.

Upon determination by the permittee, in accordance with UAC R317-6-6.17 that an out-of-compliance exists, the permittee shall verbally notify DWQ of the out-of-compliance within 24 hours,
and provide written notice within 5 days of the detection.

Remediation Assessment Study Plan
Within 30 days of the verbal notice to DWQ, the permittee shall submit a remediation assessment study plan and compliance schedule for:

Assessment of the extent of the ground water contamination and any potential dispersion.

Evaluation of potential remedial actions to restore and maintain ground water quality, and ensure that the ground water standards will not be exceeded at the compliance monitoring wells.

The plan shall be implemented upon DWQ approval.

Failure to Maintain Best Available Technology Required by Permit
A facility will be determined to be in an out-of-compliance status if best available technology has failed or cannot be maintained according to the provisions required by this permit,
unless:

The permittee has notified according to Part I.F.2, and

The failure was not intentional or was not caused by the permittee's negligence, either in action or failure to act, and

The permittee has taken adequate remedial measures in a timely manner or has developed an approvable remedial action plan and implementation schedule for restoration of best available
control technology, an equivalent control technology, or closure of the facility (implementation of an equivalent technology will require permit modification and re-issuance), and

The permittee has demonstrated that any discharge of a pollutant from the facility is not in violation of the provisions of UCA 19-5-107.

Additional Notification
In the event of out-of-compliance status due to either an exceedance of ground water protection levels due to the permittee’s activities, or a failure of Best Available Technology, the
permittee shall notify the County Commission in which the incident occurs and the Southwest Utah District Health Department within 24 hours or the first working day following a spill.

Contingency Plan for Exceedance of Protection Levels
If, after review of ground water monitoring data, the results of source and contamination assessment, the remediation assessment, and other relevant information, DWQ may require the
permittee to develop a Corrective Action Plan (under the provisions of R317-6-6.15) to remediate the contamination. Actions taken under the plan may include emptying liquids and sludge
from the leaking lagoon into any of the permittee’s other permitted and functioning lagoons, repairing or reconstructing the lagoon liner as needed, constructing temporary holding ponds
lined with flexible membrane liners, containing liquid waste release and developing wells for the purpose of extracting the contaminated ground water. Contaminated ground water may
be stored in the lagoons or land applied if possible.

Contingency Plan for Failure of Best Available Technology
In the event of BAT failure for any of the ponds, the contents of the ponds will be drawn down by application to the evaporation field. The system would then be operated by isolating
the faulty structure and incorporating extreme water conservation techniques to allow time for regaining integrity.

Reporting REQUIREMENTS

Semi-Annual Ground Water Monitoring Reports.
Semi-annual monitoring reports shall include the following information:

Depth to water and ground water elevations in all monitoring wells, and potentiometric contours derived from them, plotted on a base map of the dairy site, for measurements taken in
both quarters of the half-year monitoring period.

Field data sheets, or copies thereof, including the field parameters required in Part I.D.4.e.1, above, and other pertinent field data, such as well name/number, date and time, names
of sampling crew, depth to ground water, type of sampling pump or bailer, measured casing volume, volume of water purged before sampling and any information required to be reported under
the approved land application plan.

Results of ground water analysis, including date sampled, date received and the results of analysis for each parameter, including: value or concentration, units of measurement, method
detection limit for the examination, analytical method and the date of analysis. The analytical methods and the method detection limits for every parameter specified in this permit
in Part I.E.4 must conform to those in the approved Water Quality Sampling and Analysis Plan. Analytical results shall also be reported in Excel spreadsheet format, with results for
each parameter listed for all sampling events done for compliance with this permit.

irrigation data use for MW-5.

TABLE 4: Compliance Monitoring Reporting Schedule
Monitoring Period Report Due Date January through June August 1 July through December February 1

Failure of Best Available Technology
Reporting requirements for failure of Best Available Technology shall be according to the provisions of Part I.E.2.

Compliance Schedule

Monitor Well Measuring Points

Within 60 days of issuance of this renewed permit, the permittee shall survey the top-of-casing measuring points of the monitor wells used for to determine permit compliance in feet
above mean sea level, and report the results to DWQ. Thereafter, measurements of ground water elevations required for permit compliance shall be reported in feet above mean sea level.

New Monitor Well Report

At least 30 days before any wastewater is planned to be placed in any new staging lagoon, Holt Dairy shall submit a report to DWQ on ground water conditions at the site as revealed by
construction of the upgradient and downgradient monitor wells. The report shall describe the composition of subsurface materials encountered during drilling of the wells, depth at which
ground water was first encountered, depth at which the ground water stabilized after it was encountered in both wells, casing construction details, and analytical results for the parameters
required in Part II.D.4(e) from samples taken from both wells. After reviewing the results, DWQ will specify a monitoring plan for the containment basin site, as a minor modification
to this permit.

Addition of a Covered Lagoon Digester and up to three additional smaller staging lagoons

The permit is being modified to accommodate a planned new flush manure covered lagoon Digester to be constructed within the existing dairy footprint. Also, the permit is being modified
to redo and expand the current existing storage lagoons (Storage Lagoon #2 at 95 acre-feet and Storage Lagoon #3 at 16 acre-feet). The Digester lagoon will be lined on the bottom with
an HDPE liner and also have an HDPE cover. The current lagoons (95 and 16 acre-feet) have a footprint of approximately 1250 feet by 425 feet. The new Digester and storage lagoons will
fit in a footprint of approximately 1400 ft by 500 feet in the same location and will be using the same monitoring wells (MW-1, MW-2 and MW-3). The new Digester and storage lagoons
will have an estimated volume of approximately 300 acre-feet. The new Digester and Storage Lagoon #2 will be built above ground level by up to 16 feet. The depth of the Digester lagoon
may be up to 70 feet below grade.

The Digester will accept thinned manure slurry after sand lanes and separation equipment, originating from the dairy’s flush lanes. The Digester, through an anaerobic process, will process
the suspended and volatile solids within the manure slurry into natural gas. The natural gas will either be sent to a generator for electrical production, a flare to receive emissions
reduction credits, or be processed and injected into a local utility pipeline. The effluent will be returned to the other storage lagoons. Prior to construction a complete set of stamped
engineering plans and specifications will need to submitted to the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) and a Construction Permit will be issued. The design is subject to change and has not
been finalized.

The three additional staging lagoons would hold from 30 to 50 acre-feet. The approximate location for these three ponds is:

Location 1 - 370 39’18.6” North, 1130 40’ 16.1” West,
Location 2 - 370 40’42.8” North, 1130 40’ 09.2” West, and
Location 3 - 370 37’11.5” North, 1130 41’ 05.8” West.

Again, prior to construction of the three additional staging lagoons a complete set of stamped engineering plans and specifications will need to submitted to the Division of Water Quality
(DWQ) and a Construction Permit will be issued.

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

Representative Sampling Samples taken in compliance with the monitoring requirements established under Part I shall be representative of the monitored activity.

Analytical Procedures.
Water sample analysis must be conducted according to test procedures specified under UAC R317-6-6.3L, unless other test procedures have been specified in this permit.
