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 speck 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.

This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant
available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above.
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements.
In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed
through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they
reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a
height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care
should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere
with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen
being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is
the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting, hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is We September or early October. Drilling is
recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

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 1260 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year 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 6300 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 21 acreas of land. if you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 50.4 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 application amount should 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 fable. 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.

NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN
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.
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 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 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, MRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
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 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.

(continued)
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.
17 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 than 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
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.
22 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shalt 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.

V. GENERAL CON1)TIIOIVS
1. The issuance of a COC to operate under this General Permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the
responsibility for compliance with all applicable surface water, wetlands, groundwater and air
quality standards or for damages to surface waters, wetlands or groundwaters resulting from the
animal operation.
2. The maximum waste level in Iagoons/storage ponds shall not exceed that specified in the
facility's CAWW. At a minimum, maximum waste level for lagoons/storage ponds must not
exceed the level that provides adequate storage to contain the 25-year, 24-hour storm event plus
an additional one (1) foot of structural freeboard except that there shall be no violation of this
condition if. (a) there is a storm event more severe than a 25-year, 24-hour event, (b) the
Permittee is in compliance with its CAWAR, and (c) there is at least one (1) foot of structural
freeboard.
In addition to the above requirements, for new and expanding farms with lagoon and storage pond
designs completed after September 1, 1996, storage must also be provided for the heavy rainfall
factor for the lagoons/storage pond. In case of lagoons/storage ponds in series that are gravity
fed, the 25-year, 24-hour storm event and/or the heavy rainfall factor storage requirement for the
system may be designed into the lowest lagoon/storage pond in the system. However, adequate
freeboard must be designed into the upper lagoons/storage ponds to allow sufficient storage to
prevent the waste level from rising into the structural freeboard while the storm water is draining
into the lowest structure in the system.
3. Any containment basin, such as a lagoon or a storage pond, used for waste management shall
continue to be subject to the conditions and requirements of this General Permit until properly
closed. When the containment basin is properly closed in accordance with the MRCS NC
Conservation Practice Standard No. 360 "Closure of Waste Impoundments," February 2008 or
any subsequent amendment, the containment basin shall not be subject to the requirements of this
General Permit. The Permittee must submit a letter to the Division to request rescission of the
COC by providing documentation of closure of all containment basins.
Closure shall also include a minimum of 24 hours pre -notification of the Division and submittal
of the Animal Waste Storage Pond and Lagoon Closure Report Form to the address identified on
the form within fifteen (15) days of completion of closure.
4. This General Permit allows for the distribution of up to four (4) cubic yards of manure per visit to
individuals for personal use. The maximum distribution of manure per individual for personal
use is ten (10) cubic yards per year. The Permittee must provide the recipient(s) with information
on the nutrient content of the manure. Distribution of greater quantities must be to individuals or
businesses permitted to distribute the waste, or to be land applied to sites identified in the
Permittee's CAWMP.
The Permittee must inform the recipient(s) of his/her responsibilities to properly manage the land
application of manure. Record keeping for the distribution of manure up to four (4) cubic yards
per visit or ten (10) cubic yards per year to individuals for personal use is not required.
5. The annual permit fee shall be paid by the Permittee within thirty (30) days after being billed by
the Division. Failure to pay the fee accordingly constitutes grounds for revocation of its COC to
operate under this General Permit.
6. Failure of the Permittee to maintain, in full force and effect, lessee and landowner agreements,
which are required in the CAWMP, shall constitute grounds for revocation of its COC to operate
under this General Permit.
12 March 7, 2014

Permit Number AWG100000
A COC to operate under this General Permit is not transferable. In the event there is a desire for
the facility to change ownership, or there is a name change of the Permittee, a Notification of
Change of Ownership form must be submitted to the Division, including documentation from the
parties involved and other supporting materials as may be appropriate. This request shall be
submitted within sixty (60) days of change of ownership. The request will be considered on its
merits and may or may not be approved.
8. A COC to operate under this General Permit is effective only with respect to the nature and
volume of wastes described in the application and other supporting data. The Permittee shall
notify the Division immediately of any applicable information not provided in the permit
application.
Any proposed modification to an animal waste management system including the installation of
lagoon covers shall require approval from the Division prior to construction.
9. If the Permittee wishes to continue an activity regulated by this General Permit after the
expiration date of this General Permit, the Permittee must apply for and obtain a new COC.
Renewal applications must be filed at least 180 calendar days prior to the expiration of the
General Permit.
10. The issuance of a COC to operate under this General Permit does not prohibit the Division from
reopening and modifying the General Permit or COC, revoking and reissuing the General Permit
or COC, or terminating the General Permit or COC as allowed by the appropriate laws, rules, and
regulations.
11. The Director may require any person, otherwise eligible for coverage under this General Permit,
to apply for an individual permit by notifying that person that an application is required.
12. The Groundwater Compliance Boundary is established by 15A NCAC 2L .0102 and 15A NCAC
2T .0103. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance
Boundary is subject to the requirements of 15A NCAC 2L and the Division in addition to the
penalty provisions applicable under the North Carolina General Statutes.
13. Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to
restocking of the facility.
VI. PENALTIES
1. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this General Permit; the facility's
COC; the facility's CAWMP; and/or applicable state law; may subject the Permittee to an
enforcement action by the Division including but not limited to the modification of the animal
waste management system, civil penalties, criminal penalties and injunctive relief.
2. The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this General Permit. Any permit
noncompliance constitutes a violation of state law and is grounds for enforcement action; for
permit coverage termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit
coverage renewal application.
It shall not be a defense for a Permittee in an enforcement action to claim that it would have been
necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the
conditions of this General Permit.

Agronomic rates means the amount of animal waste and/or other nutrient sources to be applied to lands
as outlined in MRCS NC Conservation Practice Standards No. 590 "Nutrient Management" or as
recommended by the NCDA&CS and the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service at the time of
certification of the Animal Waste Management Plan by the appropriate certified technical specialist.
Amendment to the CAWMP means a change and/or addition to a part(s) of the plan, and requires that the
change and/or addition adhere to current applicable standards. The following are examples of
amendments to the CAWMP:
s In an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes 25% or less of the N
generated is considered a plan amendment. Additional acreage needed to facilitate the change in crops
and/or cropping pattern is permissible and considered part of the amendment.
® The addition of winter crops and/or interseeded perennial crops are considered amendments to an
existing CAWMP when the operation does not require additional acreage and/or crops for N
utilization, and does not exceed the 25% criteria stated above.
a When a CAWMP cannot meet N utilization requirements due to land Iost to irrigation inefficiency
(useable versus total acres), then the CA WN may be amended to increase available acreage and/or
change the crop for N utilization. This is the only exception to the 25% N criteria for plan revision.
• Inclusions of emergency action plans, and insect, odor and mortality checklists are considered
CAWMP amendments.
® Including additional acreage for land application beyond what is required in the existing CAWMP is
considered a plan amendment.
Animal feeding operation means a lot or facility (other than an aquatic animal production facility) where
the following conditions are met: (i) animals (other than aquatic animals) have been, are, or will be
stabled or confined and fed or maintained for a total of forty five (45) days or more in any twelve (12)
month period, and (ii) crops, vegetation, forage growth, or post -harvest residues are not sustained in the
normal growing season over any portion of the lot or facility. Two or more animal feeding operations
under common ownership are considered to be a single animal feeding operation if they adjoin each other,
or if they use a common area or system for the disposal of wastes.
Certification means technical specialist certification of the CAWMP in accordance with the requirements
of 15A NCAC 02T .1304. It is unrelated to terms "Annual Certification" as used in Condition III.14 of
this General Permit, and the "No Discharge Certification Option" allowed by the November 2008 EPA
CAFO Rule.
Ditch means any man made channel for the purpose of moving water off a site to the surface waters.
Excessive Ponding means any area of the application field where visible liquid waste is ponded on the
surface of the land application site more than four (4) hours following the application of waste. Excessive
ponding also means any areas where the ponding of waste has resulted in crop failure.
Groundwaters means any subsurface waters, as defined in 15A NCAC 2L .0102.

finish to wean to feeder), retrofit of a lagoon, installation of a new irrigation system, and similar type
changes. Recertification is only required for major changes to the CAWMP. Major changes to a facility
must first be approved by the Division. The new CAWMP and the certification shall be submitted with a
request that the COC be amended to reflect the changes. The facility may not make the changes until a
new or amended COC has been issued.
Revision to the CAWMP means a change to an entire CAWMP to meet current applicable standards. A
CAWMP must be revised if the operation cannot utilize all N nitrogen generated by the animal production
in accordance with the existing CAWMP, except for the specific conditions noted in the CAWMP
amendment criteria as previously defined.. For an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping
pattern that utilizes more than 25% of the N generated by the operation is considered a plan revision. Any
change to an existing CAWMP, whether an amendment or revision, must be signed and dated by both the
producer and a technical specialist for the new CAWMP to be valid. A revision of the CAWMP does not
require recertification.
State Waters means all surface waters, wetlands, groundwaters and waters of the United States located in
the State.
Surface Waters means any stream, river, brook, swamp, lake, sound, tidal estuary, bay, creek, reservoir,
waterway, or other surface body or surface accumulation of water; whether public or private, or natural or
artificial, that is contained in, flows through, or borders upon any portion of the State of North Carolina,
including any portion of the Atlantic Ocean over which the State has jurisdiction as well as any additional
Waters of the United States which are located in the State.
Waste means manure, animal waste, process wastewater and/or sludge generated at an animal feeding
operation.
Wetlands means areas that are inundated or saturated by an accumulation of surface or groundwater at a
frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances do support a prevalence of

Svstem Calibration
Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operating
conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates
change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular,
pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use,
nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the
discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter.
You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the
design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the
application uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure
results in small droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the
sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged
intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating
below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application
uniformity.
For the above reasons,, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to
ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at lease once every
three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at
several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to
collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because
they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount
without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets,
jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used provided
the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring.
For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly
throughout the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling
guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction of
pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both sides
of the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for all collection
containers. You should also look for evidence of nonuniformity of the application.
On a windless day, variation between containers of more than 30 percent is cause
for concern. You should contact your irrigation dealer or technical specialist for
assistance.

Irrigation
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.
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 fitter strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, orwhen the surface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWQ 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.

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.

LAND UTILIZATION SUMMARY
The following table describes the nutrient balance and land utilization rate for this facility
Note that the Nitrogen Balance for Crops indicates the ratio of the amount of nitrogen produced
on this facility to the amount of nitrogen that the crops under irrigation may uptake and utilize
in the normal growing season.
Total Irrigated Acreage: 35.98
Total N Required 1st Year. 7905.448
Total N Required 2nd Year: 4294.5752
Average Annual Nitrogen Requirement of Crops: 6,100.01
Total Nitrogen Produced by Farm: 3,500.00
Nitrogen Balance for Crops: (2,600.01)
The following table describes the specifications of the hydrants and fields that contain the crops
designated for utilization of the nitrogen produced on this facility. This chart describes the size,
soil characteristics, and uptake rate for each crop in the specked crop rotation schedule for this
facility.

This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant
available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above.
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements.
In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed
through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they
reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a
height of four inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care
should be exercised not to let small grain reach maturity, especially We in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere
with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen
being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is
the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
consider harvesting.hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on the
time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is
recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

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 1260 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year 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 6300 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 21 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 50.4 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 application amount should 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 confect 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.

NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN
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.
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 Utilization Plan
when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of
application, recievinq 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 disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field.
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).
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
surface is frozen.

NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
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 than 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
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.
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.

V. GENERAL CONDMONS
1. The issuance of a COC to operate under this General Permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the
responsibility for compliance with all applicable surface water, wetlands, groundwater and air
quality standards or for damages to surface waters, wetlands or groundwaters resulting from the
animal operation.
2. The maximum waste level in lagoons/storage ponds shall not exceed that specified in the
facility's CAWMP. At a minimum, maximum waste level for lagoons/storage ponds must not
exceed the level that provides adequate storage to contain the 25-year, 24-hour storm event plus
an additional one (1) foot of structural freeboard except that there shall be no violation of this
condition if. (a) there is a storm event more severe than a 25 year, 24-hour event, (b) the
Permittee is in compliance with its CAWMP, and (c) there is at least one (1) foot of structural
freeboard.
In addition to the above requirements, for new and expanding farms with Iagoon and storage pond
designs completed after September 1, 1996, storage must also be provided for the heavy rainfall
factor for the lagoons/storage pond. In case of lagoons/storage ponds in series that are gravity
fed, the 25-year, 24-hour storm event and/or the heavy rainfall factor storage requirement for the
system may be designed into the lowest lagoon/storage pond in the system. However, adequate
freeboard must be designed into the upper lagoons/storage ponds to allow sufficient storage to
prevent the waste level from rising into the structural freeboard while the storm water is draining
into the lowest structure in the system.
3. Any containment basin, such as a lagoon or a storage pond, used for waste management shall
continue to be subject to the conditions and requirements of this General Permit until properly
closed. When the containment basin is properly closed in accordance with the NRCS NC
Conservation Practice Standard No. 360 "Closure of Waste Impoundments," February 2008 or
any subsequent amendment, the containment basin shall not be subject to the requirements of this
General Permit. The Permittee must submit a letter to the Division to request rescission of the
COC by providing documentation of closure of all containment basins.
Closure shall also include a minimum of 24 hours pre -notification of the Division and submittal
of the Animal Waste Storage Pond and Lagoon Closure Report Form to the address identified on
the form within fifteen (15) days of completion of closure.
4. This General Permit allows for the distribution of up to four (4) cubic yards of manure per visit to
individuals for personal use.. The maximum distribution of manure per individual for personal
use is ten (10) cubic yards per year. The Permittee must provide the recipient(s) with information
on the nutrient content of the manure. Distribution of greater quantities must be to individuals or
businesses permitted to distribute the waste, or to be land applied to sites identified in the
Permittee's CAWMP.
The Permittee must inform the recipient(s) of his/her responsibilities to properly manage the land
application of manure. Record keeping for the distribution of manure up to four (4) cubic yards
per visit or ten (10) cubic yards per year to individuals for personal use is not required.
5. The annual permit fee shall be paid by the Permittee within thirty (30) days after being billed by
the Division. Failure to pay the fee accordingly constitutes grounds for revocation of its COC to
operate under this General Permit.
6. Failure of the Permittee to maintain, in full force and effect, lessee and landowner agreements,
which are required in the CAWMP, shall constitute grounds for revocation of its COC to operate
under this General Permit.

7. A COC to operate under this General Permit is not transferable. In the event there is a desire for
the facility to change ownership, or there is a name change of the Permittee, a Notification of
Change of Ownership form must be submitted to the Division, including documentation from the
parties involved and other supporting materials as may be appropriate. This request shall be
submitted within sixty (60) days of change of ownership. The request will be considered on its
merits and may or may not be approved.
8. A COC to operate under this General Permit is effective only with respect to the nature and
volume of wastes described in the application and other supporting data. The Permittee shall
notify the Division immediately of any applicable information not provided in the permit
application.
Any proposed modification to an animal waste management system including the installation of
lagoon covers shall require approval from the Division prior to construction.
9. If the Permittee wishes to continue an activity regulated by this General Permit after the
expiration date of this General Permit, the Permittee must apply for and obtain a new COC.
Renewal applications must be filed at least 180 calendar days prior to the expiration of the
General Permit.
10. The issuance of a COC to operate under this General Permit does not prohibit the Division from
reopening and modifying the General Permit or COC, revoking and reissuing the General Permit
or COC, or terminating the General Permit or COC as allowed by the appropriate laws, rules, and
regulations.
11. The Director may require any person, otherwise eligible for coverage under this General Permit,
to apply for an individual permit by notifying that person that an application is required.
12. The Groundwater Compliance Boundary is established by 15A NCAC 2L .0102 and 15A NCAC
2T .0103. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance
Boundary is subject to the requirements of 15A NCAC 2L and the Division in addition to the
penalty provisions applicable under the North Carolina General Statutes.
13. Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to
restocking of the facility.
VI. PENALTIES
1. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this General Permit; the facility's
COC; the facility's CAWMP; and/or applicable state law; may subject the Permittee to an
enforcement action by the Division including but not limited to the modification of the animal
waste management system, civil penalties, criminal penalties and injunctive relief.
2. The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this General Permit. Any permit
noncompliance constitutes a violation of state law and is grounds for enforcement action; for
permit coverage termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit
coverage renewal application.
3. It shall not be a defense for a Permittee in an enforcement action to claim that it would have been
necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the
conditions of this General Permit.

Agronomic rates means the amount of animal waste and/or other nutrient sources to be applied to lands
as outlined in NRCS NC Conservation Practice Standards No. 590 "Nutrient Management" or as
recommended by the NCDA&CS and the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service at the time of
certification of the Animal Waste Management Plan by the appropriate certified technical specialist
Amendment to the CAWMP means a change and/or addition to a part(s) of the plan, and requires that the
change and/or addition adhere to current applicable standards. The following are examples of
amendments to the CAWMP:
® In an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes 25% or less of the N
generated is considered a plan amendment. Additional acreage needed to facilitate the change in crops
and/or cropping pattern is permissible and considered part of the amendment.
® The addition of winter crops and/or interseeded perennial crops are considered amendments to an
existing CAWMP when the operation does not require additional acreage and/or crops for N
utilization, and does not exceed the 25% criteria stated above.
® When a CAWMP cannot meet N utilization requirements due to land lost to irrigation inefficiency
(useable versus total acres), then the CAWMP may be amended to increase available acreage and/or
change the crop for N utilization. This is the only exception to the 25% N criteria for plan revision.
® Inclusions of emergency action plans, and insect, odor and mortality checklists are considered
CAWMP amendments.
® Including additional acreage for land application beyond what is required in the existing CAWMP is
considered a plan amendment.

request that the COC be amended to reflect the changes. The facility may not make the changes until a
new or amended COC has been issued.
Revision to the CAWMP means a change to an entire CAWMP to meet current applicable standards. A
CAWMP must be revised if the operation cannot utilize all N nitrogen generated by the animal production
in accordance with the existing CAWMP, except for the specific conditions noted in the CAWMP
amendment criteria as previously defined. For an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping
pattern that utilizes more than 25% of the N generated by the operation is considered a plan revision. Any
change to an existing CAWMP, whether an amendment or revision, must be signed and dated by both the
producer and a technical specialist for the new CAWMP to be valid. A revision of the CAWMP does not
require recertification.
State Waters means all surface waters, wetlands, groundwaters and waters of the United States located in
the State.
Surface Waters means any stream, river, brook, swamp, lake, sound, tidal estuary, bay, creek, reservoir,
waterway, or other surface body or surface accumulation of water, whether public or private, or natural or

S,krstem Calibration
Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operating
conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates
change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular,
pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use,
nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the
discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter.
You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the
design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the
application uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure
results in small droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the
sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged
intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating
below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application
uniformity.
For the above reasons,. you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to
ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at lease once every
three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at
several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to
collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because
they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount
without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets,
jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used provided
the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring.
For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly
throughout the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling
guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction of
pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both sides
of the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for all collection
containers. You should also look for evidence of nonuniformity of the application.
On a windless day, variation between containers of more than 30 percent is cause
for concern. You should contact your irrigation dealer or technical specialist for
assistance.
