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. Reedy Fork Farm 9/8/2014 1 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.

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.

Reedy Fork Farm 9/8/2014 10 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 11 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. Reedy Fork Farm 9/8/2014 12 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (Continued) 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.

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.

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.
