Infiltration rate varies with soils. If applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system, you must apply at a rate that will not result in runoff. This table provides the maximum application rate per hour that may be applied to each field selected to receive wastewater. It also lists the maximum application amount that each field may receive in any one application event.

These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for each source, the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates shown in the second column. Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. Inmost cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied. Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

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 desipXi 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.

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). --------------------------------------------------------------- — ---------------- 705906 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 8/25/2014 Specification Page 1 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. 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. 705906 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 8/25/2014 Specification Page 2 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. 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. 705906 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 8/25/2014 Specification Page 3 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. 705906 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 8/25/2014 Specification Page 4 CONSERVATION PLAN MAP Date:8/25114 Field Office: Wadesboro Service Center N Customer(s) White Rack @ Morven Agency: USDAMRCS 1,800 900 0 i,tsuu r-eet SOILS MAP Date:8/25/14 Field Office: Wadesboro Service Center N Customer(s) ---White Rock Swine @ Morven Agency: USDA/NRCS District: Anson Soil And Water Conservation District Assisted By: Richard E.

Maintenance Re uir meats Anson The waste treatment lagoon was designed and installed to provide storage for biological treatment of swine waste. The estimated life span of this installation is at least 15 years. The life span of this practice can be assured and usually increased by developing and carrying out an operation and maintenance (O&M) program. You are required to perform inspections and O&M activities in order for this practice to achieve the intended function, benefits, and design life. Items to inspect, operate, and maintain during the estimated design life of this practice include, but are not limited to, the following: • Waste treatment lagoon maybe emptied at any level between maximum operating level and the minimum operating level as long as cropping system is available for waste and weather conditions permit application (i.e. waste removed from the lagoon and utilized at locations, times, rates, and volume in accordance with the overall waste management system plan). The maximum storage period is estimated to be 120 days at maximum animal population. See "Operation and Maintenance Requirements" in General Permit attached for other requirements and considerations. * The staff gauge or permanent marker to indicate the maximum operating level and the maximum operational drawdown is located on south east corner of Lagoon. Maximum operating level is 12" below emergency spillway. Emergency removal and disposition of liquid waste is allowed from June 15 to October 31 (i.e, during hurricane season and in preparation for the following winter months) to reduce the possibility that waste treatment lagoon structure will fill to capacity prematurely.

NCSU - Agri Communications Florida Cooperative Extension ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THE POTENTIAL IMPACTS ON A SITE FROM APPLYING LAGOON SLUDGE As part of either a lagoon closure operation or on -going lagoon maintenance, the attached plan has been developed to apply sludge to the following areas: Track & Field Numbers: While using animal waste as a source of nutrients for crops in lieu of inorganic fertilizers is an ecologically sound practice, producers should be aware that sludge that accumulates in a lagoon may have high concentrations of nutrients and/or heavy metals. Accordingly, the quantity of phosphorous and micronutrients in the material to be applied may exceed the fertility requirements of planned crops. Metals. High concentrations of metals in the soil can impact crop growth or yields. The application of lagoon sludge has the potential to significantly increase the concentration of metals (particularly copper and zinc) in the soil. NCSU and NCDA&CS recommend that alternative sites for waste application be sought when soil concentrations of zinc (Zn) exceed 142 lbs/ac (Zn-I of 2000) or copper (Cu) exceeds 72 lbs/ac (Cu-I of 2000). A Cu-I or Zn-I of 3000 is recognized as a critical toxic level for some crops. For peanuts, alternative sites are recommended when the Zn-I is 300, and a Zn-I of 500 is recognized as a critical toxic level. Producers should be aware of the post -application Cu and Zn concentrations predicted on the sites planned for sludge application. Additionally, soil pH should be maintained at 6.0 or above to minimize risk of toxicity. Phosphorous. Phosphorous (P) concentration in lagoon sludge may be high. Because P adsorbs onto iron, aluminum, and calcium, the soil can bind and store excess P. When P concentrations reach higher concentrations, there is an increasing potential for P to be transported offsite and become a pollutant of surface waters. This transport may occur through soil erosion, or as a soluble form in surface runoff or leaching. An assessment of the risk for P loss to surface water is required as part of a nutrient management plan for permitted operations or those receiving federal or state cost -share assistance. If the potential for P transport offsite is high, then firture federal application of animal waste may not be allowed in a nutrient management plan. Producers should be aware that applying lagoon sludge may limit the ability to use the site for future animal waste application. Accordingly, applying lagoon sludge to fields that are planned for future waste applications as part of a nutrient management plan is not advised. 1 understand that applying micronutrients or micronutrients at rates that significantly exceed the expected crop removal could limit the future use of the field as a waste application site, and in some cases, negatively impactfuture plant growth. I voluntarily agree to apply sludge to the fields identified above that I own or operate according to the attached nutrient management plan or lagoon closure plan.

The following discussion outlines the AWT evaluation. The current North Carolina NRCS guidelines (NRCS Code 359) for the design of an anaerobic lagoon contain sizing parameters for sludge storage and for the minimum treatment volume of the lagoon. For a Farrow to Wean sow (433 lb/animal unit), the recommended volume for five years of sludge storage is 0.17 W/ib Live Animal Weight (LAW) (74 ft3/animal unit) and the recommended minimum treatment volume is 0.67 ft3/lb LAW (290 ft3/animal unit). This corresponds to a total of 0.84 ft3/lb LAW for sludge storage volume and minimum treatment volume. Therefore, the total sludge storage and minimum treatment volume for a 2,200 sow farrow to wean operation would be 800,184 ft3_ 0.84 fL3 x 433 lb LAW x2,200 sows = 800,184 ft3 7b LAW sow The current NRCS guidelines (Code 359) recommend that at a minimum there should be 180 days (six months) of temporary storage in a lagoon. The guidelines define temporary storage as • Manure • 25-year, 24-hour storm • Excess wash water • "Heavy Rain " factor (Pnival to 75_year, 24-honr storm of a miriimtlm) • Rainfall in excess of evaporation • Outside runoff There should also be at least one foot ff) of freeboard in excess of temporary storage. The amount of lagoon volume required to accommodate the rainfall in excess of evaporation, the 25-year, 24-hour storm and the heavy rainfall factor (at a minimum equal to a 25-year, 24 hour storm) is dependent upon the top inside berm (TIB) dimensions of the lagoon. The design TIB dimensions of the White Roack Farms lagoon are 400' x 400'. This corresponds M; to a surface area of 160,000 ft2. The precipitation in excess of evaporation for this area is 7.7 inches (annual precipitation - 48.52", NCDC Summary for Pageland, SC, 1968-1992; annual free water surface evaporation - 40.83"; NCDC Summary for Union, SC, 1951-1964, corrected for lake evaporation; approximate annual free water surface evaporation 40" A'WMFH-1) and the 25-year, 24-hour storm for this area is 6 inches (US Dept. of Commerce, Technical Paper No. 40). In addition to the 25-year, 24-hour storm, a second 25-year, 24- hour storm is included as a "heavy rainfall factor". Therefore, there needs to be adequate volume for 19.7 (7.7 + 6 + 6) inches of rainfall in the lagoon. This equates to 262,667 W. 19.7 inches x 1 foot x 160,000 ft 2- = 262,667 ft3 12 inches Table 2 of Code 359 lists a manure and excess wash water rate of 7.2 gallons/day for a farrow to wean sow. At this rate, 381,176 ft3 would be required for sax months of temporary storage. gals 2 .g3 2,204 saws x 7x 180 days �c i ft3 = 381,176 ft3 sow -day 7.48 gals Therefore, the total capacity required for temporary storage of 180 days is 643,843 ft3 (262,667 ft3 + 381,176 ft). This volume, added to the sludge storage and minimum treatment volume, gives the lagoon a total volume of 1,444,027 ft3 required by NRCS guidelines. The White Rock Farms lagoon has a volume of 1,492,032 ft3 with 1 foot of freeboard under the crest of the spillway. This design volume of the lagoon exceeds the required lagoon volume (1,444,027 ft3) as based on NRCS Standard 359 and therefore the lagoon design meets the current NRCS standards. Evaluation of Sludge Accumulation To ensure that the accumulated sludge does not encroach the minimum treatment volume, the frequency of the sludge level will be evaluated every three years.] Based on the sludge level elevations, if it is believed that the accumulated sludge will reach the designated sludge storage volume prior to the next three year evaluation, there will be an evaluation conducted yearly until a portion of the sludge is removed. The following plan will be used to evaluate the sludge depth: • Approximately three years after the lagoon is placed into operation it will be evaluated for sludge accumulation. • The length, width, and depth of the lagoon will be measured once construction has been completed. • A sample grid of sixteen (16) points will be established over the surface of the lagoon. • The liquid level will be determined relative to the top of the lagoon bean. • The distance from the liquid surface to the sludge surface and from the sludge surface to the lagoon floor will be determined using a Markland Model 10 Sludge gun (or similar device). • Based on the collected measurements and the as -constructed lagoon dimensions, the volume of the accumulated sludge will be estimated. • The sludge evaluation procedure will be repeated at three year intervals. • When the accumulated sludge has filled the sludge storage volume of the lagoon, the sludge will be analyzed and a portion of the sludge will be removed from the lagoon. The sludge that is removed will be appropriately managed (land applied at agronomic rates, processed, etc.). M. k" Lagoon Volume A pernianent gauge pole will be located in the lagoon to provide a means of accurately determining the lagoon volume. Knowing the liquid depth, the amount of liquid in the lagoon and the amount of storage volume remaining in the lagoon can be determined using the following Remaining Volume Spreadsheet (Spreadsheet 1, based on As -Constructed dimensions). The lagoon will be dewatered as needed by applying lagoon Iiquid to the cropland. As long as crop, weather, and field conditions are conducive to application, application can occur anytime the lagoon liquid level is greater than 7.5 ft. This liquid depth corresponds to the lagoon volume required to maintain the sludge storage volume and the minimum treatment volume. The lagoon liquid level should also be reduced to this level following each cropping season in order to allow for adequate waste storage throughout the winter. To prevent overtopping, dewatering will be initiated when the liquid level in the l lagoon corresponds to 3.25' below the top of the lagoon berm (11.0 ft). This level (l l.0 ft.) will allow the 25 yr - 24 hour storm to be contained in the lagoon while still maintaining one (1') foot of freeboard.
