The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water 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.
APR 0' 1 2019
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:
1. 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.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established.
4. 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 DWR regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential
for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more:than
30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
1 of 11

This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change
methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application
methods are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could
allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to
be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must
be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at
agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to
prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 1248.48 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year and will accumulate in the lagoon
sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 6242.4 pounds of plant
available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 20 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 49.9392 acres of land. Please note that these
are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values
may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application
Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific
application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION:
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation
such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil
structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The applicationamountshould not
exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the
plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly
irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
*This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount
of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application
amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for >180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the
waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of
freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment
is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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.
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 Utilization Plan
when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of
application, recieving 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 Tess 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 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
8
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.
Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated. soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.

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 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.

NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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 soil 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 a
minimum of five years.
23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Updated Crop Management Practices for Bermuda Winter Overseed
This document, as approved by the Interagency Nutrient Management Committee on
October 10, 2017, hereby modified the July 13, 1998 Memorandum "Crop Management
Practices for Select Forages Used in Waste Management". This modification updates
the application window protocol for the 100 lb Nitrogen PAN rate for both Cereal Rye
and Annual Ryegrass, as well as winter small grains.
• Farms utilizing the 100 lbs./ac PAN rate for the overseed are allowed to apply no
more than 50 lbs./ac PAN from October 1 through December 31 and no more than
50 lbs./ac PAN from January 1 through March 31.
• Applications made during the months of December and January cannot exceed the
combined total of 25 lbs./ac PAN for the two -month period.
• The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda crop prior to
September 30.
• The PAN rate for grazed systems must be reduced by 25%.
All other requirements of the July 13, 1998 Memorandum continue to apply. Those
requirements include but are not limited to:
• Cereal rye and annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best
opportunity to get winter growth.
• A harvest is required prior to heading or April 7, whichever comes first, for both
cereal rye and annual ryegrass. This is necessary to minimize the potential for
shading of emerging bermuda and reducing its yield. To favor the production of
bermuda, additional harvest of annual ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass
canopy reaches 12-15 inches height.
•
These management requirements shall also apply to overseeded winter small grain.

When selecting multiple methods indicate a primary versus secondary option.
Methods other than those listed must be approved by the State Veterinarian.
Primary Secondary Routine Mortality
❑ ❑
❑ ❑
I I ❑
❑ ❑
❑ ❑
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.
Landfill at municipal solid waste facility permitted by NC DEQ under GS 15A NCAC
13B .0200.
Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S. 106-168.7.
Complete incineration according to 02 NCAC 52C .0102.
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.
❑ El 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).
❑ El 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.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and
180 days of temporary storage. The time required for the planned
fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary
due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount
of fresh water added to the system.
The designed temporary, storage consists of 180 days storage for:
(1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also
included is storage for the 25 year — 24 hour storm for the location.
The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be
fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess
rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will not
be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage
volume must always be available.
A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin
pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe(s) from
building(s). If the outlet pipe is not installed at the elevation to
begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation
to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established
to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth.
Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two
elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as
weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without
runoff or leaching.
Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable
method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set,
center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be
taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops.
The following items are to be carried out.
1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre —
charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during
start—up. Pre —charging reduces the concentration of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be
covered with effluent at all times. When precharging is complete,
flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should not
be used for flushing after initial filling.
2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment)
before land application.
3. Begin temporary storage pump —out of the lagoon when fluid level
reaches the elevation 103.0 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump —
out when the fluid level reaches elevation 100.9 . This temporary
storage, less 25 yr— 24 hr storm, contains 180659 cubic feet or
1351326 gallons.

SHEET 2 OF 2
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is
one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3
inch per hour. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the
lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed
to maintain a -vigorous stand.
5. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
establish in vegetation.
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable
outlets.
8. Keep a minimum of 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around
waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will
not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a
residence or within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall be applied in a
manner not to reach other property and public right—of—ways.
9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of
pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ—
mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

Lagoon: Operation
Startup:

2. Fill new Iagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before
waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes.
4_ When possible. begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize
bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather).
5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full.lagoon
liquid volume. This seeding should occourat least two weeks priorto the
addition of wastewater.
6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below
7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of 1
feet of
lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum1000rc lagoon liquid_
pH is between 7.5 and 8.0.
?• A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate
biological activity. Consultation with a. technical specialist is recommended_
if these conditions occur for prolonged periods,. especially during the warm
season.
Loading.
The more frequently and regularly that wastewateris added to a lagoon, the better -the.
lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the es dailare
optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one olagoon
more buildings are drained_
and aged each day, also work well.

Management
Practice water conservation —minimize building water usage and
spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through
proper maintenance and water conservation.
Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This
will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon
Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level. and_
the full temporary storage level.
Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the -
minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid. lever (Figure 2-1).
Start irrigating at the earliest possible itt in the spring based on
nutrient requirements and soil moisture so film -temporary storage
will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly,
irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon
storage for the winter.
The lagoon liquid level should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest
point of the dam or embankment.
Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage
level unless you are removing sludge.
Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid
surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible.
Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage orvegetation,.
molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon_
Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses.or
wherever they are installed.
Maintain strict vegetation, rodent,and varmint control near lagoon edges_
Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment
Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is -
full or before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume.
If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for
obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a_
pollutant discharge.
Sludge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by:

proper lagoon sizing,
mechanical solids separation of flushed waste,
gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or
minimizing feed wastage and spillage.
'Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
have more nutrients,
have more odor, and
require more land to properly use the nutrients.
Removal techniques:
Hire a custom applicator.
Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller
pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland;
and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator, h n1
and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or
forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragiine or sludge barge; berm
an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can dram back --
into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader
onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate.
Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different
nutrient- and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will. be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop
requirement Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3.
When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close
attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains
intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should
stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be
removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge lcnioved from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and.heavy metal content
than. liquid_ Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus
and metal levels. as indicated by a soil test, andincorporated to reduce the chance of
erosion.. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphores; it
should. be applied only at rates equal. to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other
wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.
The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site..
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which -
could increase the concern of neighbors.

Possible Causes- of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failures -result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater -from the structure:. Types
of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the
dam- Assuming proper design and construction, the owner -has the responsibility for
ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead, to lagoon. failures include:
Modification of the lagoon structure. —an example is: the place:neat of apipe
in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult an expertin
lagoon design before placing any pipes is dams.)
Lagoon liquid levels—highlevels_are a. safety risk
Failure.to inspect and_ maintain the dant
Excess surface water flowing into the: lagoon_
Liner integrity —protect from inletpipe scouring, damage during sludge
removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater-
table.
NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to overtop the dam, the moving water will soon came
gItilies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly. cause a large discharge
of wastewater and possible dam failure.
