Hi J. R.,
We've included a summary of on-farm crop yield records for the H. Dean Ross Dairy. Based
on the best three of the last four crop years the, average corn silage yield for the farm is 38.7
tons per acre. For Nutrient Management Planning purposes we used a number of 30 tons
per acre to be more conservative and also because the USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) in
Haywood County has chosen 30 tons per acre for corn silage as the maximum amount they
will reimburse through their crop insurance program. Therefore it will serve as a tested and
reliable benchmark for conservative conservation planning for this farm.
Also included is 2008 corn silage yield information from the NCDA Mountain Research
Station in Waynesville. On the Test Farm they grow a large number of different corn hybrids
in research plots on soils that are representative of the corn-growing soils in Haywood
County. The 2009 average yield across 21 different hybrids was 32.6 tons per acre. This
provides further information to show that the 30 tons per acre number for this conservation
plan is conservative and justified.
On-farm small grain silage yields for the past three years indicate yields in the range of 12 to
14 tons per acre. For conservation planning purposes we have used a yield of 12 tons per
acre for fields in this Nutrient Management Plan.
Thar*s for all y °r Well .

Hi Leslie. I have the figures to back up these yields by way of weight tickets and truck
records, but the data was raw and not organized. So i figured the average yield for the
past four years. If they need weight tickets or other proof of these yields, i can get
that. . . but it will need to be put in a spreadsheet to make sense.
2005- average 41 tons per acre
2006- average 40.3 tons per acre
2007- average 34 .8 tons per acre
2008- average 33 .7 tons per acre

Operation and Maintenance Plan-H. Dean Ross Farms Dairy-44- 11
This animal waste management system was planned and designed at the request and with the
involvement of the Ross family. The plan is based on decisions and choices made by them. The system is
designed to collect, store,treat, and utilize waste generated by 300 dairy cows and the milking operation
such that no waste is discharged to surface waters of the state except during a storm more severe than the
25 year,24 hour event. The plan conforms to all applicable USDA-NRCS standards and specifications in
effect on the day of approval.
This dairy is a family owned operation.All work is done by the family with the exception of one
milkman. The waste will be hauled on silage corn, hay and small grain silage crops, with some applied
on pasture if needed.
The system is composed of the following components: feedlot roof structure, ,waste storage pond,
holding area roof structure, liquid waste spreaders and waste application fields. These components
combine to collect, store, treat and utilize the waste generated on the dairy farm.
1.
The cattle go onto an outside unpaved nearby pasture in dry weather. Filter strips are in place around this
pasture. In wet weather the cattle are housed in free stalls. The cattle are also fed at the barn allowing the
manure to be scraped and hauled.
All the waste(liquid and solid) is collected into a large holding pond. All waste is then hauled and land
applied on silage corn, cover crops,hay and pasture.
The Ross family have been very cooperative with the Haywood Soil and Water Conservation District and
NRCS in designing this plan. Therefore,there should be no problem in implementing and maintaining the
plan. However the Ross family is responsible for proper installation, operation and maintenance of the
waste management system.
All crop fields are no-till with small grain silage and corn silage and waste is broadcast on all fields.

The table shown below provides a summary of the crops or rotations included in this plan for each field. Realistic Yield estimates are
also provided for each crop,as well as the crop's P205 Removal Rate. The Leaching Index(LI)and the Phosphorous Loss Assessment
Tool(PLAT)Rating are also provided for each field,where available.
If a field's PLAT Rating is High,any planned manure application is limited to the phosphorous removal rate of the harvested plant
biomass for the crop rotation or multiple years in the crop sequence. Fields with a Very High PLAT Rating should receive no
additional applications of manure. Regardless of the PLAT rating,starter fertilizers may be recommended in accordance with North
Carolina State University guidelines or recommendations. The quantity of P205 applied to each crop is shown in the following table if
the field's PLAT rating is High or Very High.

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of cropland needed to use
the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown,their nutrient requirements,and proper timing of applications to
maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or other by-products,
commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in order to supply the indicated quantity
of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides
for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

The Nutrient Management Recommendations table shown below provides an annual summary of the nutrient management plan
developed for this operation. This table provides a nutrient balance for the listed fields and crops for each year of the plan.
Required nutrients are based on the realistic yields of the crops to be grown,their nutrient requirements and soil test results. The
quantity of nutrient supplied by each source is also identified.
The total quantity of nitrogen applied to each crop should not exceed the required amount. However,the quantity of other
nutrients applied may exceed their required amounts. This most commonly occurs when manure or other byproducts are utilized
to meet the nitrogen needs of the crop. Nutrient management plans may require that the application of animal waste be limited so
as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field. In such situations,
additional nitrogen applications from nonorganic sources may be required to supply the recommended amounts of nitrogen.

The Required Soil Test Values shown in the following table provide a summary of recommended actions that should be taken if soil tests indicate excessive levels of
copper or zinc. Fields that receive manure must have an annual soil analysis for these elements. High levels of zinc and copper can adversely affect plant growth.
Alternative crop sites must be used when the concentration of these metals approach excessive levels. Site life can be estimated by dividing the amount of copper and
zinc to be applied in lbs/acre by 0.036 and 0.071,respectively and multiplying the result by 0.85. By adding this quantity to the current soil index for copper or zinc,we
can predict life of the site for waste disposal.
In addition to copper and zinc indices,this table also provides a summary of lime recommendations for each crop based on the most recent soil sample. Application of
lime at recommended rates is necessary to maintain soil pH in the optimum range for crop production.

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage capacity available
at the end of each month of the plan. Available storage capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity in days
minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start date is a value entered by the user and is
defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or
holding pond is equal to zero.
Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design storage
capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage capacity,this indicates that
the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated. If available storage capacity is negative,
the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure. Either of these
situations indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the
structure's temporary storage capacity.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
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 that 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 the
waste, he/she shall provide evidence 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 waste production facility to
secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the
operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving
crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for
realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data,
climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that
restrict the rate of applications 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 eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but
less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where
runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard
393 - Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application.
Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land
application field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding,waste will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is 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 and flies.
----------------------------------------------- ----
596290 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 9/24/2009 Specification Page 1

8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or
when the soil 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.
10. Nutrients from waste 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 canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste
from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer that 25
feet to perennial waters.
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 the fields have been approved as a land
application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall 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 washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks,
etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system.
596290 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 9/24/2009 Specification Page 2

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.
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 pre-plant 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 be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage
ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least
annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the
rate-determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied
based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen
based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative
crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be
adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis
records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application
records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years.
Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5)
years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

soil test at this time. The remaining N should be applied during February-March. Apply 10 to 12 lbs.N
per ton of expected yield. The total N is dependent on soil type and expected yield. Plant samples can be
analyzed during the growing season to monitor the nutrient status of the small grain. Timely management
of diseases,weeds and insects are essential for profitable small grain silage production. Plant a cover
crop after harvest.

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.
Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below.
A. Lagoon overflow-possible solutions are:
a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam.
b. Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B. Runoff from waste application field-actions include:
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
C. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s)that caused the runoff.
e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred.
C. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers-action include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Close valves to eliminate further discharge.
d. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
D. Leakage from flush systems,houses,solid separators-action include:

a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
C. Make sure no siphon occurs.
d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems,or solid separators.
e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
E. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to
a. Dig a small sump or ditch away from the embankment to catch all seepage,put
in a submersible pump, and pump back to the lagoon.
b. If holes are caused by burrowing animals,trap or remove animals and fill holes
and compact with a clay type soil.
c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and lagoon bottom
as soon as possible.
2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.

WASTE UTILIZATION IN FIELDS RECEIVING ANIMAL WASTE
Annual wastewater production(4)x(123,686 ft3) = 494,744 ft3 (3,701,180 gallons)
Average PAN in wastewater (latest sample 11-24-2008) 3.8 Ibs / 1000 gal
Total PAN available annually = (3.8 Ibs/1000 gal)x(3,701,180 gal) = 14,064 Ibs PAN
Receiving crop: corn, silage
Realistic Yield Expectation by soil type: 24 tons silage / acre
Agronomic rate for corn silage: 240 Ibs PAN / acre
Minimum Acreage to Utilize PAN = (14,064 Ibs PAN)/(240 Ibs PAN/acre) = 58.6 acres
of corn silage
CONCLUSION
H. Dean Ross Dairy has adequate storage capacity and sufficient crop fields to collect,
store, treat and utilize waste from 300 lactating, Holstein cows. At this herd size, the
waste storage pond has a 90-day storage period. With corn silage as a receiving crop,
at least 60 acres must be available to apply manure slurry from the pond in order to fully
utilize the plant available nitrogen produced by the dairy cattle.
