El ID In the case of dead poultry only, placing in a disposal pit of a size and design approved by the
NC Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (G.S. 106-549.70).
Q Q Any method which, in the professional opinion of the State Veterinarian, would make possible
the salvage of part of a dead animal's value without endangering human or animal health.
(Written approval by the State Veterinarian must be attached).
Mass Mortality Plan
Mass mortality plans are required for farms covered by an NPDES permit. These plans are
also recommended for all animal operations. This plan outlines farm -specific mortality man-
agement methods to be used for mass mortality. The NCDA&CS Veterinary Division sup-
ports a variety of emergency mortality disposal options; contact the Division for guidance.
• A catastrophic mortality disposal plan is part of the facility's CAWMP and is activated
when numbers of dead animals exceed normal mortality rates as specified by the State
Veterinarian.
• Burial must be done in accordance with NC General Statutes and NCDA&CS Veterinary
Division regulations and guidance.
• Mass burial sites are subject to additional permit conditions (refer to facility's animal
waste management system permit).
• In the event of imminent threat of a disease emergency, the State Veterinarian may enact
additional temporary procedures or measures for disposal according to G.S. 106-399.4.

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 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.
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. Soil types are important as they have
different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water
holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per
acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 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 regulations. 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 applied to bare ground not more than 30
days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor
problems.
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. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques,
preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
ALL WASTE - SCRAPED LOT, PARLOR WASH AND LOT RUNOFF
Amount of Waste Produced Per Year (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
200 animals x 14.6 (gal/day/cow) x 365 (number of days) x 50 (% confinement time) =
532,900 gallons of waste/year.
Parlor Water: 200 animals x 5 gal/day/cow x 365 (number of days) = 365,000 gallons of
water/year.
Runoff from feedlot: Average Annual Rainfall = 44 in. x 70 % (60 - 75%) x 19,417 sq.ft. of area x
1ft./12in x 7.48 gals./cu.ft. = 372,781 gallons/year.
Excess Rainfall on Structure: 28,300 sq.ft. x .02 in/day of excess rainfall x 365 days x 1 ft./12
in. x 7.48 gals/cu.ft. = 128,774 gallons of water.
TOTAL AMOUNT OF WASTE:
1,399,455 gallons of WASTE/YEAR.
Amount of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) Produced Per Year
200 animals x 76 lbs. PAN/Animal/Year x 50 % confinement = 7600 lbs.
PAN/year.
(PAN from N.C. Tech. Guide Std. 633)

1,399,455 gals) 27,154 gals/ac-in = 51.5 ac-inches / 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 and surface application:*

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary
storage must be removed on the average of once every SIX MONTHS. In no
instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed
Elevation 88.5(NEWI and 101.8(OLD)
Ca11 the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation
Service) or Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste
analysis report for assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the
proper application rate prior to applying the waste.
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION:
Two holding ponds are used, one for the upper lot which receives manure scraped
from lot, milk parlor water and a small amount of lot runoff. It was also designed to
hold the manure from all 200 cows. The other, newer holding pond receives lot runoff
and scraped manure from 100 cows (lower half of the herd) on the lower lot. These
ponds may have different N levels, therefore they must both be tested for actual PAN.
The Teagues have installed an irrigation system using a hard hose traveler. The
cropping system will be mainly corn silage, small grain and grass for hay or pasture.
The system will be used to empty both holding ponds. The gun is a Nelson SR - 150
with a .9 Taper Bore Nozzle. The precipitation rate will be 0.3 in/hr at a pump pressure
of 90 psi. Setting the traveler at 2.5 ft. / min will permit an application rate of 0.6 inch
and 16,292 gals per acre.
The amount of water and waste produced per year: 1,399,455 gals is equivalent to
51.5 ac-inches.
There is acreage under irrigation with crops to utilize 215.6 ac-inches per year.
Total wettable acres = 70.8 acres
Land need: Small grain - 39.6 acres Corn silage - 19.8 acres
Sorgham-Sudan may be planted in fields as an alternative crop. With the RYE at 5
tons/ac, the farmer can apply 275 lbs. of N per acre to this crop from March 15 through
August 315f. If tropical corn is planted N may be applied at the same rate as corn
silage from April 1 through July 31.

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 $10,000 per day by the Division of
Environmental Management 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 on which to properly apply the
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 (sample enclosed) 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 (RS)
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 Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest
Buffers.]
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application.
Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing.
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
Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.]
Reedy Fork Farm 9/8/2014

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(Continued)
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 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 not be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that
no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered.
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 on bare soil.
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance
may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips
are present. [See Standard 393 - Alter 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, drainage ways or wetlands
by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted
wetlands 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, 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 wash down facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc.,
shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system.

17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum
operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to the
one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
18. 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.
19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure p/an"which will eliminate the possibility
of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
20. 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.
21. 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 be applied preplant with no further applications of animal waste during the
crop season.
22. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the
temporary storage (pumping volume) of all animal 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 for waste storage ponds.
23. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least
annually at crop sites where animal 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 the metals approach excessive levels. Adjust pH for optimum crop
production and maintenance. Soil and Waste analysis records shall be kept for five years.
Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three years. Waste application
records for all other waste shall be maintained for five years.
24. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing, or running off site. You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters or
leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to
ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible location for all
employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should take.
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
PROJECT / FARM NAME: Reedy Fork Farm
FACILITY #: 41-14
DATE: 12-04-97
1. A 3" - 4" diameter white PVC pipe with a cap shall be placed at the maximum liquid
level at elevation 101.8 Upper & 88.5 Lower . At no time should the effluent level
rise above the maximum liquid level, which is 2.2 & 2.6 feet below the settled
top of the dam.
2. A visual inspection of the waste storage pond will be performed at least twice a
year. The inspector should check the condition of the dam and the emergency
spillway if applicable. The inspector will need to look close for signs of slope failure
or seepage on the back slope and toe of the dam. Also, a very close look will need
to be made to check for signs of animal damage, ground hogs, muskrats, etc. Any
problems found should be brought to the attention of the technical specialist for
repair recommendations.
3. The waste storage pond will need to be mowed twice a year. All eroded areas or
areas that do not have complete vegetative cover will be reseeded. The dam and
all constructed slopes will need to be fertilized annually with 500 lbs. Of 10-10-10
per acre or its equivalent.
4. Maintain all waste handling equipment used for pumping, loading, hauling,
spreading, etc. in accordance with owner's manuals.
5. All waste application shall be completed in accordance with the waste utilization
plan. The waste storage pond will be emptied at the end of each design storage
period. This structure is designed for 180 days.
See attached NC Agriculture Extension Service Waste Management Publication by Dr.
James C. Barker for information on sampling and testing of the effluent.

Mortality Management Methods
Indicate which method(s) will be implemented.
When selecting multiple methods indicate a primary versus secondary option.
Methods other than those listed must be approved by the State Veterinarian.
Version —November 26, 2018
Primary Secondary Routine Mortality
D El Burial three feet beneath the surface of the ground within 24 hours of knowledge of animal
death. The burial must be at least 300 feet from any flowing stream or public body of water
(G.S.106-403). The bottom of the burial pit should be at least one foot above the seasonal
high water table. Attach burial location map and plan.
a ❑ Landfill at municipal solid waste facility permitted by NC DEQ under GS 15A NCAC
13B .0200.
n Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S. 106-168.7.
nD Complete incineration according to 02 NCAC 52C .0102.
7 D
A composting system approved and permitted by the NC Department of Agriculture & Con-
sumer Services Veterinary Division (attach copy of permit). If compost is distributed off -farm,
additional requirements must be met and a permit is required from NC DEQ.
a In the case of dead poultry only, placing in a disposal pit of a size and design approved by the
NC Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (G.S. 106-549.70).
Any method which, in the professional opinion of the State Veterinarian, would make possible
the salvage of part of a dead animal's value without endangering human or animal health.
(Written approval by the State Veterinarian must be attached).
Mass Mortality Plan
Mass mortality plans are required for farms covered by an NPDES permit. These plans are
also recommended for all animal operations. This plan outlines farm -specific mortality man-
agement methods to be used for mass mortality. The NCDA&CS Veterinary Division sup-
ports a variety of emergency mortality disposal options; contact the Division for guidance.
• A catastrophic mortality disposal plan is part of the facility's CAWMP and is activated
when numbers of dead animals exceed normal mortality rates as specified by the State
Veterinarian.
• Burial must be done in accordance with NC General Statutes and NCDA&CS Veterinary
Division regulations and guidance.
• Mass burial sites are subject to additional permit conditions (refer to facility's animal
waste management system permit).
• In the event of imminent threat of a disease emergency, the State Veterinarian may enact
additional temporary procedures or measures for disposal according to G.S. 106-399.4.
