It is especially important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and wet periods. Maximum storage capacity should be available. �n the lagoon for periods when the receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bermuclagrass) or when there are extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means that at the first signs of plant grow1h in the later w;nter/early spring, irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be done whqriever the land is dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This wil; make storage space available irl the lago'on for future wet periods. In the late summerJearly fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow tor winter storage. Every effort should be made to maintain the lagoon close to the minknum liquid level as long as the weather and waste utilization plan will allow it. Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to irrigate does not leave room for storing excess wat;�,, during extended wet periods. Overflow from the lagoon for any rea�on except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of state law and subject to Penalty aictiori. The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following: Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam. Pescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be based on a soils test, but in the event that it is- not practical to obtain a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or equivalent. Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of these practices. This should be done at least once a year and possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for heavy vegetative growth. NOTE: If vegetation controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter the lagoon water. Su h chernicals could �arm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating the waste, Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm event5. Items to be checked should include, as a minimum, the following: Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pip@s.--look for: I . separation of joints 2. cracks or breaks 3. ac.-umulation of salts or minerals 4. ()verall conditi_-n of pipes identified problems should be corrected promptly. it is advisable tO inspect your 5ystern during or 'immediately following a heavy rain, If technical a5515tance is needed to determine Proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts. You - should record the level of the lasoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then record the level again 4 to 6 hours atter the rain (assurnes there is no pumping). This will gi ve yo u an idea of h ow m uch you r lagoon I evell wi I I rise with a certam rai n fal I amou n t (Y-)u must also be recor&ng your rainf'aill for this to work), Knowing t.jjs should help in planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises exc' essively, you may have an inflow problern from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the lagoon from the surrounding land. Lagoon Operation Startup: I Immediately after construction establish a COMPlete sod cover on bare so![ sunaces to avoid erosion. 2. Fill new lagoon design trea�lment volume at least half full of water b eTore waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes. .3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial fi I I i ng or an other Mean5 of 51 owi ng the i ncom I n g water to avo i d erosi on of the lining. 4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather). S. It is recornmerided that a new lagoon be seeded with slidge from a healthy worki n g swi n e I agoon i n t h e arnou nt of 0 - 2 5 percent of the fu I I I agoon liquid volume. This seeding shouldoccour at least two weeks prior to the addition of wastewater. 6. Maintain a periodic check an the lagoon liquid pH. Ifthe pH fails below 7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of I pound per ". 000 dubic feet of lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. OPtimurn lagoon liquid pH is between 7.5 and 8.0. 7.

If the liner is dirnaged it must be repaired as soon as possible. 5ludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy meta! 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, and incorporated to reduce the chance of erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soii-test phosphores, it should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus.

Warsaw, NC 28398 TELEPHONE: (910) 533 3520 TYPE OPERATION: Feeder - Finish �4- NUMBER OF ANIMALS: 7344 U�v 47W (Design Capacity) The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface 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. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every �q MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation *see lagoon design. Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Sofi Conservation Service) or Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. Narrative of operation: Acres shown are irrigated acres. The plan is written as a 2 year rotation of corn, wheat, and soybeans. It is suggested that the grower split the land evenly between corn and soybeans. Page 4 WASTE 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 waste, he/she shall provide a copy 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 facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application 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 that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strip). 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 irrigation field. 6 When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" 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 or flies. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. Page 5 WASTE 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 Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop 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 from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or 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. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste 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 courses 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. Page 6 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 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 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 element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) 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.

A scale drawing of the proposed irrigation system which includes hydrant locations, pipelines, thrust block locations and buffer areas where applicable. 2. Assumptions and computations for determining total dynamic head and horsepower requirements. 3. Computations used to determine all mainline and lateral pipe sizes. 4. Sources and/or calculations used for determining application rates. 5. Computations used to determine the size of thrust blocks and illustrations of all thrust block configurations required in the system 6. Manufacturer's specifications for the irrigation pump, traveler and sprinkler(s). 7. Manufacturers specifications for the irrigation pipe and/or USDA-NRCS standard for IRRIGATION WATER CONVEYANCE. 8. The information required by this form are the minimum requirements. It is the responsibility of the designer to consider all relevant factors at a particular site and address them as appropriate. 9. Irrigation pipes should not be installed in lagoon or storage pond embankments without the approval of the designer. NOTE-, A buffer strip of 50'or wider must be maintained between the limits of the irrigation system and all perennial streams and surface waters per NC Statutes. Sheet6 Narrative of Irrigation System Operation This irrigation system has been designed to add 5 additional hydrants to the existing system for this farm. Hydrants will be installed in fields 6, 10, and 11. In addition, pulls A and B in field 7 were shortened from their original length due to the ditch location to their East. For the pulls mentioned above, the acreage has been calculated using new and expanding farm criteria. All other pulls, which will not be modified, have acreages calculated using existing 'wetted' acreage criteria. Field 10 requires SB515 setbacks. These include a 50' setback from the public ROW, 50' from property lines, 100' from wells, 75'from blue line streams, and 200'from residences not owned by the producer. This design requires that a DOT approved road bore be done as shown on the working drawing. The producer is familiar with startup, winterization, and R&M requirement for the equipment being used Sheet7 CALCULATIONS Sprinkler Si3ecifications Sprinkler Type: Nelson 150 Nozzle Size: 1.08 inches Sprinkler Pressure: 60 psi Flowrate(GPM): 182 gpm Wetted Diameter: 300 feet Lane Soacinus Desired Spacing (%): 70 % Design Spacing(feet): 210 *PVC irrigation pipe normally comes in 20' pieces, so round to the nearest multiple of 20.

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 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 beat 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. F] F� 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 In the case of dead poul" only, placing in a disposal pit of a size and design approved by the NC Department of Agricuiture & Consumer Services (G.S. 106-549.70). Any method which, in the professional opinion of the State Veterinarian, would make possible the salvage of part of a dead animal's value without endangering human or animal health. (Written approval by the State Veterinarian must be attached). Mass Mortality Plan Mass mortality plans are required for farms covered by an NPDES permit. These plans are also recommended for all animal operations. This plan outlines farm -specific mortality man- agement methods to be used for mass mortality. The NCDA&CS Veterinary Division sup- ports a variety of emergency mortality disposal options; contact the Division for guidance. • A catastrophic mortality disposaf 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. 4ignature of Farm Own Date/ e r// Ma na gge r /A Signature of Technical Specialist Date Distance to nearest residence (other than owner): 1000 feet 1.
