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) with minimum
odor control. The time required for the planned fluid level to be reached
(permanent + temporary storage) may vary due to soil conditions, flushing
operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system.
The designed 6 months temporary storage is an estimated volume based on:
1) waste from animals
2) excess rainfall after evaporation
and 3) the largest 24 hour (one day) rainfall that occurs on the average
of once every 25 years.
The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly
constant throughout the year and from year to year.
This estimate is based on 7.0 inches of excess rainfall which is equal
to or exceeds.the highest 6 months excess in a year. The average annual excess
rainfall is approximately 8 inches. Therefore, an average of 8 inches of excess
rainfall will need to be pumped each 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 the building(s).
If the outlet pipe is not installed on the elevation to begin pumping, a
permanent marker must be installed on this elevation to indicate when pumping
should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain the
minimum treatment depth of 6 feet.
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.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN (continued)
-----------------------
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be precharged to 1/2
of its capacity to prevent excessive odors during start—up. Precharging
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 T
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment)
before land application.
3. ,:Begin pump—out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches elevation '`101.55 feet
' as marked by the permanent marker.
ttop,pump—out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches elevation -99.70 feet
or before the fluid depth is less than "fi:20 ` feet deep (this prevents
the loss of favorable bacteria). '..
The designed temporary storage volume less the 25 year — 24 hour
storm volume is 33,388 cubic feet or 249,743 gallons.
As stated before, this volume will vary considerably from year to year.
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch
and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 inches per hour.
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.
6. 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.
Q. 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 Environmental Management, has the responsibility
for enforcing this law.

Soil Investigation to Determine Suitability of Proposed Lagoon Site
-------------------------------------
A total of one (1) soil boring was taken on this site by Ken Pittman, SCS, to determine
if the existing soils would be suitable for embankment material for the lagoon.
The boring was made in the vicinity of the proposed lagoon.
The benchmark elevation of 100.00 feet is located on the top of control point #1.
The estimated high water table elevation = 97.0 Feet,
T
Using the Unified Classification System, the results of the borings are as follows:
Boring #1: 0 Ft. — 1 Ft. — SM material (silty sand)
1 Ft. — 2 Ft. — SC material (clayey sands; sand—clay mixtures)
2 Ft. — 3 Ft. — SC,CL materials (clayey sands; clay mixtures)
3 Ft. — 4 Ft. = CL material (clays of low plasticity)
4 Ft. — 5 Ft. — SC,CL materials (clayey sands; clay mixtures)
5 Ft. -- 9 Ft. — SC material (clayey sands; sand—clay mixtures)
9 Ft. — 10 Ft. — SC,SM materials (clayey sands; silty sands)
10 Ft. — 11 Ft. -- SM,CL materials (silty sands; clay mixtures)
11 Ft. -- 12 Ft. — CL material (clays of low plasticity)
Based on the results of these borings, MOST of the soils available on this site are suitable
suitable to be used as embankment material for the lagoon site. A suitable clay material
(ie — SC,CQ for the liner will be required.

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 commerclai 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 applleation cycle, Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all
plant nutrients can be balanced for reallstio 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 nitrogon than the crop can utilize. Sol[ types are
important as they have different Infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation axChange
capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land
eroding at greater than 5 tons par 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 reining, or when the surface is frozen, Either of these conditions may result in runoff to
surface waters which is not allowed under OEM regulations, Wind condNons 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 then 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 nutrlent 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 or waste samples to the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, If carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 1 3A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

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.

from animal waste should also be conSldered,
10 Waste nutrlents shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on Golfs with a
high patentlel for leaching, Waste nutrient loading retes 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 rtew $wine facility sited on or alter October 1, 1995 Shall comply with the following;

rosponalhle for obtaining and Implementing a "closure plan" which will elimfnale the
posslblllty of an Illegal discharge, pollution and erosion,
18 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.
19 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 propellant with no further applications animal waste
during the crop season,
20 Highly vlsibfe 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 malntain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to
mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds.
21 Waste shall be tested within 69 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually
at crop sites where waste products are applied. NRrogen 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 flue(6)years,
