Lf ,? - a,P 9 7 Type Operation: , �, +,:, Lj e Number of Animals: (Dalam �q s 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 implementihg 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. Alwaye 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 utilLm. Soil types are important as they have dderpnt infiltration rates, laaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 f dons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10,tons per acre perryear. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when It Is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result ih runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulatlons. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nubienta for crop production and to reduce the potential for polluton, 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 conperve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type ofifacility. Acreage. requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find Infbrmation on proper sampling techniques, preparatlon, 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 2W.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. 4' 02/04/90 10:51 109109471253 Moore 6WCD Q003 •41_ -• i'.

Name of Technical Specialist (Please Print): Affiliation Date Work Completed:_ Address (Agency): Phone No.: Signature: Date: AWC -- December 5, 2000 IRevised Agrmoniic Plan 1-W Dixie Paint - September 2001 I UPDATES AND REVISIONS TO THE AGRONOMIC PLAN FOR DIXIE FARM i NOTES ABOUT THIS PROJECT: Dixie Farm is a swine production facility owned by N.G. Purvis Farms, Inc. This facility has been in swine production for many years. Dixie Farm currently has all of the proper technical specialist certifications required for its Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). The owners of Dixie Farm have recently decided to increase the scope of their agronomic plan by diversifying their I crop growing options within the fields where they apply swine waste. This package discusses the particulars of this diversified agronomic plan and its associated waste management details. The details contained within this document will only be revisions to the portion of the existing CAWMP that applies to crop production, or the agronomic section of the plan. The engineer will give some background details associated with other aspects of the CAWMP but discussions and revisions will be mainly confined to crop production at the farm. The other details and technical specialist certifications associated with the CAWMP. are not being revised or recertified. The reader should note that the farmer has the ultimate authority to manage his or her waste to best suite his or her cropping patterns and weather conditions. This plan is only a guide, and should be modified (within reason) to fit those needs from year to year. Maximums and minimums being discussed should not be violated and precautions about off -site run-off of animal waste should be strictly observed. As always the crops produced at a given farm where animal waste is applied shall more or less balance with the nutrients produced. The exact numbers are expected to change some I from year to year, butthebalance should be maintained. The development of a CAWMP is a dynamic process. This means that one design decision will affect the next decision, and that decision will affect the next, etc. Also, on -site situations will occasionally require plan alterations or at least make them differ from those parameters presented in the written document. Therefore, the reader should use this plan for guidance and for general standards more than for exact "to the inch" measurements. The farmer/manager however should not grossly exceed the minimum or maximum recommendations so as not to violate the intent of the recommendations. The engineer has tried to weigh all factors in accordance with importance. Each intensive animal operation and facility operates differently and must be evaluated on its own merit and the owner/operator's willingness to maintain Best Management Practices or BMP's, It will be completely up to the farmer and/or system(s) operator to operate the system in accordance with these plans, to protect the surface water and groundwater of the State of North Carolina, and to adhere to all rules and regulations related to animal waste utilization. All specifications within this document are acceptable for use to satisfy the animal waste management rules found in the publication titled NCDENR, Division of Environmental Water Quality, Title 15A:02H, Section .0200. The reader should refer to this State publication for regulatory details. The design parameters contained in this document have been shown to be effective if performed in a responsible manner by knowledgeable persons. It is impossible however to predict all future operational, environmental, and legislative situations which could cause these plans to need modification or be revised at a later date. When possible, this document follows the U.S. Natural Resources Conversation Service (MRCS) design criteria and is not meant to contradict standard NRCS guidelines or the design criteria of other organizations.

GENERAL FARM DETAILS AND INFORMATION General Site Information and Location The Dixie Farm parcel is located in the northern part of Moore County approximately 8 miles north of Carthage in a direct vector. Entrance to the farm is off Spivey Road (SR# 1637). The farm area is approximately 88.5 acres, which consists of wood land, crop land, swine confinement houses, and lagoons. Exhibits 1, 2, and 3 show various views of the property. The owner is N.G. Purvis Farms, Inc. The farm property is bordered by mostly wooded land or farm land with some residential dwellings scattered around the immediate community. The swine houses and lagoons are bordered by trees and the crop production fields. More will be said about regulatory set -backs later in this document. Dixie Farm is a 806 sow farrow -to -wean operation. Swine effluent is stored and treated in an existing lagoon system and is recycled into the houses to remove raw animal waste. Flushed out manure gravity feeds back to the lagoon system. On occasion effluent is pumped from the lagoon system and land applied via a spray irrigation system. The effluent is applied to farm grown crops at agronomic rates and acts as a commercial fertilizer substitute. The swine population at this farm is not being increased and there are no plans to increase the number of animals in the near future. To the engineer's knowledge there have not been any swine effluent discharges at Dixie Farm. Topography, Drainage, and Nearby Surface Waters In general, the topography at and around Dixie Farm consists of rolling hills with all of the drainage from the site going into several unnamed tributaries and then to Deep River. A USGS topo map of the area can be seen as Exhibit 2 so the reviewer can get an overall view of the site. The USGS topographic map containing this information is the Putnam Quadrangle (1974). Coordinates for this site are approximately Longitude 79 degrees, 28 minutes, 37 seconds; Latitude 35 degrees, 27 minutes, 8 seconds. Land slopes around the farm range from 2 to 15 percent. NRCS soil survey maps show irrigated field slopes range from 2 to 8 percent. In general rainfall run-off flows away from or around the confinement housing and the lagoon areas via pre -determined grass water ways and ditches. Most 3 .I Revised Agrmomie Man For Dixie Fam - s.ptoliber 2001 surface flowing water that might initially flow toward the lagoons is intercepted so this water is diverted around the outside of the lagoons. The lagoons and sprayfields at Dixie Farm should not be impacted by 100 year flooding. This opinion is based on a review of the National Flood Insurance Program map number 37125C0050C, effective date 12-15-89. Several small unnamed tributaries (intermittent streams) exist near the Dixie Farm spray fields and lagoon areas. These tributaries eventually flow into Deep River. Based on maps of the area, Deep River is approximately 3,700 feet from the nearest Dixie Farm spray field in a direct vector. See Exhibit 2 for a view of Deep River in relation to the farm property, Deep River is a Class C-HQW water supply near Dixie Farm. A. Class C water supply's best usage for which it must be protected is defined as "aquatic life propagation and survival, fishing, wildlife, secondary recreation, and agriculture". The HQW designation is a supplemental classification that points to these waters as being critical to native trout, or primary nursery areas, or critical wildlife habitat areas, etc. A HQW designation would require special protection from new construction sites, sediment and erosion control permits for new construction sites, etc. Dixie Farm is not under any type of construction at this time. No towns are known to get their water from Deep River immediately down stream from the farm site. The discharge of swine effluent to the surface waters of N.C. is prohibited. Therefore no effluent should be allowed to make its way into the nearby streams and rivers. While no intensive animal farming operation is immune from wastewater discharge accidents, adhering to the safety guidelines within this document and the existing CAWMP and careful management should greatly minimize any such accidents. A sudden dam breach causing a significant release of effluent is very unlikely but existing dam evaluations are outside the scope of this EES work effort. In a discharge event, the effluent would be very dilute prior to it reaching any public water supply intake. While the effects of any such occurrence are serious, the engineer believes any major threat to a drinking water supply is minimal and would not have dramatic and prolonged effects on the availability of the drinking water supply. Municipal water intakes would be more than 10 miles away from the farm (downstream). Stream aquatic life would be in jeopardy associated with any large and sudden release of swine effluent especially if the discharge would occur at dry times when stream flows are small. The extent of such an accident would depend on the quantity and quality of the effluent, plus the flow in the river at the time of release. Animal Waste Related Set -Backs Or Buffers There are numerous regulations related to set -backs and buffers from intensive livestock operations. Unfortunately these values are subject to sudden change due to legislation, making them hard to always follow and predict. The engineer has made an attempt to list the appropriate set -backs below according to the .0200 regulations, General Statue 106 (Senate Bill 1080), Senate Bill 1217, House Bill 515, etc. as of this report date. Tables 1 and 2 show various buffers or set -backs that apply to swine and dairy operations. Table 2 shows minimum distances from waste application areas. The reader should note that'the set -backs shown are dependent on the time the farm was sited, adding an amount of uncertainty to the setbacks that apply to a particular farm. Dixie Farm has been in business for many years (thought to be about 24 years). In other words, the swine facility was officially sited before 1995. The engineer cautions the 4 Revised Agronomic Plan For bixic Fann - Septanbo-T 2001 farmer to be especially careful to err on the side of safety when it comes to applying animal waste, Wind conditions, neighbor activities, crop growth, temperatures, etc. may require that buffers be increased. The grower must be particularly careful to avoid spray drift if irrigating on windy days.

This means to stay 25 feet away from the right of way or a total of 55 feet from the center line of the road. The engineer would suggest a buffer of at least 75 feet from public road right-of-ways if using big gun irrigation to avoid unpleasant accidents, especially in windy conditions. 50 feet from center line is recommended if using a "honey wagon" to broadcast near public road right- of-ways. ++ = A light application of effluent over grass water ways to maintain a good grass cover is acceptable. This is different from deep groundwater lowering ditches or very steep waterways. Use good judgment and plan this type of activity away from rain events. Do not irrigate in wet lands. Do not heavily apply waste in valleys which are subject to high rainfall run off or in wet weather drainage ways. 100 feet'buffers from perennial water (i.e. blue line streams) are reconunended by the engineer for all fields where waste is to be applied (if applicable). As a word of caution, it is the owners responsibility to verify any set -backs that are close or questionable. +++ = The first 25 feet next to perennial waters measured from the outer perimeter of animal waste application to an adjacent perennial stream must be a riparian buffer. Riparian buffers must be permanent type vegetation. The other part of the buffer can be in crops or some other suitable filter strip vegetation. A 100 feet buffer between animal waste applications and a perennial stream may negate the need for a riparian buffer. Steep slopes between animal waste application sites and the perennial stream may increase the buffer to more than 100 feet. @ = Irrigation ditches are often connected to pererunial streams and may be considered part of the perennial stream. Such ditches need a qualified technical specialist to evaluate their status. Revised Agi-momic Plan For Dixic Fann - Septunber 2001 Miscellaneous Site Details There are no dwellings, structures, or bridges between the anaerobic lagoon and the nearest creek or branch. In North Carolina the prevailing winds are typically from the south-west blowing to the north-east. There are no high density residential developments, hospitals, schools, or parks immediately north east of the Dixie Farm parcel but some individual dwellings do exist in the nearby community. The land application of waste should not be inhibited by these nearby dwellings as long as all precautions and safeguards are followed. From limited observation, the engineer did not observe any unusual natural or archeological features at this farm parcel where waste is to be applied. No endangered or threatened wildlife species were noted. Animal Populations and Related Information Anaerobically treated swine effluent is the only type of animal waste scheduled for routine application on the crops at Dixie Farm. Future sludge removal events will be scheduled as needed. Since sludge applications will be site specific to the time, season, and quantity, its removal and associated land application details are not part of this CAWMP.

Latest lagoon construction completed Before 1995 Number of lagoons 3 Lagoon for storing excess water A common second stage impoundment (called impoundment # 3 I Future expansion plans None A BRIEF REVIEW OF THE DIXIE FARM LAGOON SYSTEM. General Dixie Farm is an existing facility and has been using anaerobic lagoons for animal waste treatment and storage for over 20 years. EES was not part of the original lagoon design or construction efforts at this farm and does not have any of the original design documentation. The lagoon information referenced within this document was obtained from others and is only being presented for background. For brevity, only the pertinent design information about the lagoon system will be discussed herein. This farm uses a multiple stage anaerobic lagoon system. Wastewater flushed from the confinement houses goes directly into one of two first stage lagoons by gravity. Both first stage lagoons flow via 7 Revised Ag cn omic Plan For Dixie Dann - S���Innh�ti 20� I gravity into a common second stage lagoon or storage impoundment. Eventually wastewater is irrigated out of the storage impoundment on to growing crops. In 1997 the NRCS evaluated the lagoon system at Dixie Farm. The'NRCS concluded that Dixie's lagoon system was adequate for liquid storage but did not meet NRCS guidelines for waste treatment. Table 4 summarizes their calculations. However, the reader should know that not all 3 lagoons are emptied on a routine basis, All irrigation occurs out of impoundment # 3 (or sometimes referred to as lagoon # 3) as per the environmental manager of Purvis Farms. Therefore the engineer will consider lagoon # 3 to be a waste storage pond that can be pumped completely empty so its entire volume is available for storage. Table 5 shows the calculated volume of the storage structure by itself based on NRCS estimates. TABLE 4 Estimated Wastewater Storage Volume For Dixie Farm Based On NRCS Calculations Sum of all lagoons (for storage only) + 2,276,209 gallons (304,306 cu. ft.) +/- + This value assumes 100 % storage capacity in all three lagoons at Dixie. This storage is only available if all lagoons are empty. The MRCS has estimated this is more or less one full year of storage at Dixie Faun using all 3 impoundments. The engineer assumes this is the total lagoon capacity. TABLE 5 Estimated Wastewater Storage Volume For Impoundment #E 3 At Dixie Farm Based On MRCS Calculations Waste Storage Impoundment # 3 ' 142,439 cu. ft. 1,065,444 gallons + This value assumes 100 % storage capacity inside the impoundment. This storage is only available if the pond is empty. The engineer assumes this is the usable storage below the required freeboard and one 25 year - 24 hour storm falling on all lagoon surfaces. This is thought to represent usable storage. Actual Wastewater Irrigation Numbers From Dixie Farm In 1997 the NRCS calculated annual wastewater volumes for Dixie Farm using book numbers. Since that time Dixie Farm has accumulated data on actual irrigated volumes. The engineer will use the actual irrigated volumes to determine annual wastewater generation. Wastewater is typically pulled off of the top of impoundment # 3 and recycled to the confinement buildings for re -use. Excess water accumulation will eventually be spray irrigated on crops. Naturally the farmer will not desire to irrigate every day or every week. Likewise there will be time periods when the weather will not permit responsible irrigation. This requires there to be storage volume built into the lagoon system to give the farmer safety and flexibility in the irrigation routine. In North Carolina the time period for this part of the design can vary between three and six months or occasionally less if intensive waste management is used. Table 6 shows a the actual annual irrigated volumes at Dixie Farm. This table is broken down for a 12 month wastewater generation volume, a 6 month wastewater generation volume, and a 1 month wastewater generation volume. One could use these values to likewise estimate the storage volume needed for various periods of the year. These values would include the excess wastes produced by the animals, spillage or wasted water, clean-up water, and excess rainfall (less evaporation) directly into the lagoon system. This does not include rainfall run-off water from outside the lagoon since it is usually diverted by earthen embankments and grass water ways. The reader will note that Table 6 assumes an equal amount of wastewater volume per unit of time. In the real world, wastewater volumes will 8 11 Revised : \gunumii Plan For Dihic Faun - Sept tinhur 2001 change from month to month depending on rainfall, temperature, evaporation, farming operations, etc. However, for most swine operations, using average numbers for excess waste production is a reasonably close approximation.

These values do not include any 25 year - 24 hour rainfalls. Table 6 shows the actual wastewater irrigated based on farm records. One could speculate that this is more or less the true average value of the wastewater being generated at the farm, less evaporation, The reader will note that water conservation measures were implemented starting in 1999 that have shown a reduced annual irrigation volume, Therefore the 1998 volume data may be higher than one would anticipate today. For the readers information, the average yearly wastewater generation in Table 6 is about 32 % larger than the NRCS calculated book value. The engineer recommends a more detailed month by month rainfall/wastewater/irrigation balance be used if the impoundments are covered with an organic material or mat, such as with most dairy waste storage ponds. However, for most swine operations the use of averages like in Table 6 are reasonable approximations.

These values do not include any 25 year - 24 hour rainfalls. High Water Markers for Liquid Levels As required by regulation, the farmer shall install a permanent pole or metered stick or stakes inside the lagoon or waste storage pond so the operator can gauge the current water level and volume inside the lagoon. Water level markers and placements were designed by the NRCS and are not being revised herein, IF, Revis;atl Agronomic Phi For Dixio Farni - Septonher 2001 NUTRIENT PRODUCTION FROM ANIMAL MANURE AND ITS USE ON CROPS Once animal waste is collected and stored in a lagoon it starts going through chemical and biological changes. Temporary waste storage ponds may also offer some nutrient breakdown but not to the extent of lagoons since waste storage ponds are not specifically designed for treatment. Microbial digestion, volatilization, etc. all contribute to nutrient reductions in the raw manure. Partially digested animal manure contains considerable nitrogen as well as other macronutrients such as calcium, phosphorous, potassium, etc. In addition the animal waste contains many micronutrients such as copper, zinc, iron, etc. Currently only nitrogen is considered as the limiting nutrient factor for the land application of animal waste, but in the future other nutrients may become the limiting components. The farmer must perform annual soil tests for copper and zinc. Below the reader will find various nutrients discussed. In 1997 the NRCS made note that the Dixie Farm lagoons did not meet the NRCS guidelines for lagoon design. However, the engineer has noted that NCDA test analyses for Plant Available Nitrogen (P.A.N.) demonstrate that relatively good anaerobic treatment of the animal waste is occurring inside the Dixie Farm lagoons. More will be said below about P.A.N. Nitrogen Nitrogen is a fundamental part of all life on earth. It is used in relatively large amounts by most living things. Nitrogen is the most abundant element in the atmosphere (in a gas form) but is relatively rare in rocks, minerals, and soils. Atmospheric nitrogen is very stable and not readily plant available. Organisms tend to use up nitrogen quickly in a natural setting, thus making it relatively scarce. Under natural conditions nitrogen is often the limiting factor in plant production. Most plants respond more to nitrogen applications than to other types -of nutrients.. Plants must have nitrogen in the inorganic form (i.e. nitrate and ammonia ions) for assimilation. However we often find nitrogen in a gas form (i.e. atmospheric N) or in organic form (i.e. like in animal waste), neither form being readily available to plants. Organic nitrogen found in animal waste must first be converted to an inorganic form. Organic nitrogen is most often converted to inorganic forms by microbial action. Nitrogen that is available in a form plants can use is called Plant Available Nitrogen or P.A.N. Nitrogen is essential in chlorophyll production and in the formation of amino acids and proteins. For crop production, nitrogen can come from commercial fertilizer, nitrogen fixing bacteria (legumes), or from organic matter like animal waste. Plant Available Nitrogen or P.A.N. in animal waste is usually estimated by an equation. Many laboratories like NCDA provide P.A.N. estimations for the client when they perform a waste analysis. P.A.N. can vary from waste sample to waste sample and is thus most reliably estimated by using an average of actual test results. When using actual test data the engineer uses the procedure described in the NC Cooperative Extension Publication AG-439-42. When actual test data is not available, the designer can use standard design numbers (i.e, book values) such as those issued by the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service, MRCS publications, etc. Book values are often used if there are not at least 3 consecutive years of NCDA waste analyses to average. As a word of caution, NCDA waste testing is only as reliable as the care with which the sample is retrieved. Therefore the farmer should take extreme care to collect representative waste samples. The same would be true for soil sampling. The reader can see Exhibit 9 for waste sampling instructions and Exhibit 8 for soil sampling instructions. Tables 8 and 9 show test data of the Dixie Farm stored liquid effluent (see Exhibit 5 for the NCDA test reports). Table 9 summarizes total P.A.N. values produced at Dixie Farm. In the future the farmer E Revise-d Agronomic Plan For Dixie Farm - September 2001 must collect waste samples at least 60 days prior to the land application of animal waste to accurately track nutrient levels. - - TABLE 8 AVERAGING SWINF, F,FFLUENT P.A.N.

Plants must have a limited amount of these metals in order to thrive. Copper is involved in plant enzyme systems, protein synthesis, seed formation, chlorophyll production, etc. Zinc is involved in starch formation, protein synthesis, root development, etc. If applied to soil in high quantities year after year, copper and zinc can accumulate and may eventually reach high enough levels to become toxic to plants (phytotoxic), Different plants have different tolerances for these metals. Harmful metal accumulation levels will also depend on the cation exchange capacity (CEC) of the soil. Tables 10 and 11 show these two metals and relative harmful levels. The land owner or operator should always try to keep the heavy metal levels as low as possible. MRCS, DWQ, etc. recommends that no more than 1 /20 Revised Agronomic Plan I,or Dixie Pane - September 2001 of the lifetime metals allowance be applied in any one year, especially if the application is an on -going event. Soil test data will show existing metal levels and the CEC of the soil. Soil tests for copper and zinc must be taken at least annually. See Exhibits 8 and 14 for more details about copper and zinc. Also see these metals discussed in the soils report section below.

Phosphorus and Potassium Phosphorus is found in various concentrations in all types of animal waste. Phosphorous is a key element to ensure good crop health. Its effect on crop growth is not as dramatic as nitrogen or potassium, but the lack of it can cause plant stunting, poor seed formation, and reduced crop yields. Phosphorous levels in animal type waste will vary depending on many factors so testing will always be required. Often the operator will land apply phosphorus in amounts beyond what can be taken up by plants. High phosphorus levels are (typically) more of a problem for surface transport to streams than it is a problem for plants. This is because the phosphorous strongly attaches itself to soil particles. Therefore the operator must be very cautious about surface run-off and soil erosion from fields into streams or creeks. Good buffer strips and erasion controls will help keep phosphorus from getting into streams. The reader should also note that recent studies have shown that phosphorous can be forced into the groundwater (or washed to surface waters) if it is repeatedly applied to phosphorous saturated land. In the near future the MRCS, DWQ and others will likely adopt more strict guidelines on phosphorous 12 Revised Agrmomic Plan For Dixic Farm - scptanhcr 2001 loadings. For now it is best to try and manage phosphorous loadings and minimize its off -site transport. See Exhibits 8 and 14 for more details about phosphorus. Potassium is also found in animal manure and is a very important element for plant growth. Plants use potassium in quantities similar to their use of nitrogen, The lack of potassium can cause plant stress, defoliation, or death. Potassium is less mobile in soil than nitrogen but more mobile than potassium. Sandy soils tend to loose potassium more readily than clay soils. Maintaining good soil pH and organic matter will help keep potassium from moving below the plant root zone. Potassium is not thought to be as environmentally damaging as phosphorous. Good buffer strips and erosion controls will help keep phosphorus from getting into streams from run-off. See Exhibits 8 and 14 for more details about potassium. Sodium Sodium is a naturally occurring element in many soils and animal wastes. Excessive buildups of sodium can cause water stress in growing plants. High sodium loadings onto a clay soil can cause clay particle dispersion if it is not balanced with calcium or magnesium. Clay particle dispersion will cause the soil surface to become hard and will severely restrict water infiltration and permeability. High sodium content wastes, if land applied, can accumulate sodium in the soil profile and cause the problems mentioned above. Scientists use an equation to evaluate the potential effect of sodium on a soil that is called the Sodium Adsorption Ration or S.A.R. This ratio loops at a balance between sodium, calcium and magnesium to see if'the ratios are out of balance. This equation is.- 0.5 S.A.R = (Na milli -equivalent) / [(0.5 x (Ca milli -equivalent + Mg milli -equivalent)] FOR DIXIE FARM IRRIGATED LIQUIDS: Data obtained from averaging NCDA test results (from Exhibit 5): Sodium (Na) concentration is: (158 mg/L) / 23 = 6.87 milli -equivalents Calcium (Ca) concentration is: (112 mg/L) / 20 = 5.6 milli -equivalents Magnesium (Mg) concentration is: (29 mg/1)1 12 = 2.42 milli -equivalents 0.5 S.A.R. = (6.87) / [0.5 x (5.6 + 2.42)] 0.5 S.A.R. = 6.87 / [4.01] S.A. R. = 3.43 Land applying a waste with a S.A.R. of 15 or less is usually safe to apply on most soils, Sandy soils do not have as much of a problem with clay dispersion as do clay type soils thus high S.A.R. values are not as critical, However, sodium can cause drought conditions for plants growing in sandy soils regardless of clay dispersion. All things considered, sodium does not seem .to be a problem at this time based on the Dixie Farm liquid waste analyses, 13 Revised Agonuinic Plan Por Dixie Fann - SelAcndkT 2001 Other Elements In The Waste Exhibit 5 shows additional elements and compounds that were tested for by the NCDA lab. These other elements are important but will not be discussed herein for brevity. Future test results should always be viewed for elevations in heavy metals, sodium, etc. SOILS AND NUTRIENT CONSIDERATIONS Estimating Nutrient Application Rates There is no more important task in the utilization of animal waste than to properly apply it on a particular crop at rates which the plants can utilize. Over application can cause nutrients to be washed off to surface water or leached into ground water, and under application can result in a poor crop growth. Proper application amounts are known as "agronomic rates". The proper agronomic rates can vary from season to season, by crop types, by soil types, by topography, by short term weather conditions, by crop combinations, etc. These values are not to be confused with potential hydraulic loadings. Hydraulic loadings will be discussed in another section. The key factor to remember is to not apply nutrients to crops in excess of their ability to utilize these nutrients or in excess of the soil's water (hydraulic) acceptance rates. A soil survey map is attached as Exhibit 4, showing the Dixie Farm land. This map shows soil types found around the proposed land application fields. Different soil types will have different crop yields and different water acceptance rates as already discussed above. The proper application of animal manure onto crops must be a well thought out and planned event. Planning for the waste application must be done in advance of the need for the nutrients. In order to do the job right the farmer must collect waste samples for analysis and soil samples for analysis in advance of irrigation and/or broadcasting. If sludge or slurry is scheduled for removal it too should be sampled and its nutrient values factored into the land application program. See Exhibits 8 and 9 for soil and waste sampling instructions, Make sure you collect representative samples. If you are going to apply slurry, make su_r_e your_sample_is taken as a slurry. If long term waste analyses are available the farmer should take 3 to 5 years of data and use these numbers for averaging P.A.N., Extremely high or low nutrient values should be questioned and reasons sought. Any waste test data that has a value that is 48% higher or lower different than the raw data's average should be eliminated from the average pool and the average taken again. See the NC Cooperative Extension Service Publication titled "Use of On -Farm Records for Modifying a Certified Animal Waste Management Plan", pub. # AG-439-42 (Exhibit 17) for additional instructions for this averaging. Also, if farm water use records are available, these should likewise be averaged. Table 8 above was developed using the 48% rule for averaging and can be viewed as an example. Dixie Farm Soil Testing Analysis The latest soil tests available to the engineer were from 4-30-01. These can be seen as Exhibit 13. The engineer is not positive of where the soil samples shown in Exhibit 13 were collected. In the future the farmer should keep all records according to the field numbers within this document. It is a wise idea to separate soil samples by field number when possible, especially if the soils are different or you grow different crops between fields. While this soil report is only one "snap -shot" of the soil conditions, the following basic comments can be made: 14 Revised Agronomic Plan For Dixic Fain - Sgrianber 2UOI l . The soil tests show the fields sampled have a slightly low soil pH. These fields need lime. For most crops the desired soil pH should be kept around 6 for mineral soils, around 5.5 for mineral -organic soils, and around 5.0 for organic soils. Lime quantities are shown on each report segregated by soil test. All soils'shown in Exhibit 13 were mineral type soils. 2. Land applied nutrients from animal waste are not 100 percent available to a crop in the first year. Some of the nutrients applied this year will become available next year for next years crops. Detailed discussions about nutrient mineralization and residuals are beyond the scope of this report. Collect soil samples early enough to study the results before planting crops. 3. The nitrogen requirements shown on these reports are based on agronomic book values and are not true test results. This means the farmer must go back to nitrogen records to look at possible nitrogen applications for the upcoming growing season and compare the records to the recommendations within the latest CAWMP, 4. The phosphorous index (P-I) and the potassium index (K-1) are measurements of the amount of these minerals in the soil as compared to what plants typically need. In terms of crop utilization and benefits, there is not a need for additional phosphorous or potassium (i.e, potash) on the Dixie harm fields. In other words, the crops would not respond with increase health, yield, or growth by adding more of these elements. It is likely that the farmer has been applying sufficient quantities of these nutrients in the past. From Exhibit 13, sample numbers DXl and DX2 have a phosphorous index (P-I) of greater than 150 and a potassium index (K-I) of greater than 100. This means there is already phosphorous and potassium in these soils. All farm soils should be guarded from erosion to prevent surface water impacts, especially if they have high phosphorous or potassium indexes. When the P-1 or'K-I indexes greatly exceed 100 it is a good idea to minimize phosphorous and potassium in. these fields when possible. If P-I values in a particular field continue to be greater than 300, this field and its waste application practices should be evaluated by a crop or soil specialist. 5. The copper index (Cu-I) and the zinc index (Zn-I) are measurements of the amount of these metals in the soil as compared to what plants typically need. According to the soil report there is not a need to add copper or zinc to the soils at the farm in terms of crop production. In fact future loading of these metals should be minimized to avoid plant phytotoxicity problems since these metals are not quickly removed by plants. The copper and zinc indexes are shown in the NCDA reports (Exhibit 13). Sample number DX1 shows particularly high levels in both the zinc index (Zn-I) and the copper index (Cu-1). Sample number DX2 shows a lower index in both of these categories but still above what the plants need. Thus zinc and copper should be closely monitored in these fields or find crops that are zinc and copper tolerant. While some crops are more sensitive to metals than are others, the farmer should try to keep the zinc and copper (Zn-I, and Cu-1) indexes below 700 (rule of thumb). See Table 1 I for a listing of soil index precautions related to copper and zinc. 6. Soil samples should be collected at least one time per year. Lime according to the new soil sample test results. 7. Past soil test results should be kept by the operator and compared to new test results. Look for trends or increasing levels of metals. When collecting soil samples, closely follow the soil sample instructions found in Exhibit 8. Never use galvanized or metal buckets or galvanized tools when collecting soil samples since these can cause the zinc levels to show artificially high. Soils To Receive Waste The soils information presented within this document was obtained from soil survey maps and through conversations with the Moore County NRCS and the NC Cooperative Extension Service, Exhibit 4 15 IZeviwd Agnmiu mke Plan For Dixie Farm - Sei)tember 2001 shows the USDA/NRCS soil survey map for Dixie Farm (Moore County). This map shows a single predominate soil type within the spray fields at Dixie Farm. The engineer finds this agrees with the previously developed soil evaluation done by the NRCS. According to these sources the predominate soil series at the Dixie Farm site is: 1. GeB. Georgeville Gravelly Silt Loam, 2 to 8 percent slopes.

Usually irrigation application amounts will be 0.5 inches or less. Highest value assumes a 75% irrigation efficiency and would only be possible in hot and dry weather conditions on slopes less than 8 %. Steeper slopes or cool weather applications will require less intensive irrigation, CROP PLANTING AND OTHER AGRONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS General Cropping Descriptions Discussions between the farmer(s) and the engineer were held to determine the farmer's desire -for future crop selection. In general Dixie Farm has been growing bermudagrass in the warm seasons of the year and small grain in the cool seasons of the year. The farmer would also like the flexibility of switching from small grain to prairiegrass (matua) if he finds it is suitable for his operation. The reader should understand that the exact mixture of crops to be grown on any field will depend on the farmer's opinion. In other words the farmer may decide to plant a small field of matua grass and grow small grain on other fields as a cool season combination. Or he may decide to plant all of the fields in matua grass, or all in small grain if the matua grass does not perform. The engineer will not attempt to give all possible combinations of crop patterns but will discuss the most likely combinations. A discussion on the cropping patterns will appear below The majority of the liquid animal waste will be surface applied via a spray irrigation system. The farmer may eventually use a broadcast wagon to fertilize field fringes, but he would prefer to avoid this added expense unless it becomes necessary. See Exhibit 3 for aerial photographs and field identifications. Crops must be planted within 30 days or be actively growing (i.e, greening) within 30 days of a waste application event. Table 12 shows the various fields to receive animal waste as part of the Dixie Farm CAWMP. These are the same field designations as developed by the MRCS under the old CAWMP. EES has reviewed these fields with the farmer to make sure they are still in use as identified. The reader will note that each of these fields is being irrigated with a hard hose traveler. The hard hose traveler gun cart in Fields I 16 • Revised Agononue Plan For Dime Fam - Septen&t 2001 and 2 is retrieved from north to south. The hard hose traveler gun cart in Field 3 is retrieved from west to east. The field sizes shown were estimated from aerial photographs, The crops shown in Table 12 have been or can be grown for that particular field, The farmer has flexibility in changing the crop combinations if needed, but records must be kept to show what was grown on each field, how much yield was obtained, and how much waste applied. Changing a crop combination does not mean changing crop types beyond those listed in Table 12, A revision to this CAWMP will be needed if the crop types are altered. Typically bermudagrass will be grown in warm weather on every field. Either small grain or matua grass will be planted over the bermudagrass as a cool season crop. The small grain crop can be cereal rye or rye grass. Dixie Farm can only take P.A.N. removal credits for crops harvested and removed from the fields. Burning hay bales or other crops is not allowed.

Field shapes were approximated and thus these acres are also approximated. Not all of these acres are under irrigation. ++ These wetted acres were taken from a wetted acre determination done by Brock Equipment Company, Bailey NC. on behalf of N.G. Purvis Farms, Inc. Each of these wetted acres represent a single pull from a hard hose traveler gun cart, Hybrid Coastal Bermudagrass (for hay) Coastal bermudagrass is the primary nitrogen removal crop at Dixie Farm, Typically, hybrid coastal bermudagrass will yield more tonnage than common bermudagrass. Hybrid coastal bermudagrass produces no seeds but spreads by rhizomes and stolons, Bermudagrass is a warm season crop and its nutrient uptake is typically greatest in the months from May to August, however it may actively grow from April to October, depending on temperatures. Climatic and nutrient conditions will alter growth rates for bermudagrass. About 3 cuttings per year can be expected on most bermudagrass fields. Rainfall and fresh water irrigation will also play an important role in bermudagrass yield and the required cuttings. Hybrid coastal bermudagrass tolerates acid soils reasonably well (pH 5 to 5.5), However it does respond to liming. A soil pH of 6.0 or higher is recommended for improved growing conditions. Commercial fertilizer should be applied in split applications, i.e, not all at one time. When using animal 17 Revised Agronomic Plan For I)iric Farm - S ptemlkr 2001 type waste as a fertilizer source applications will occur regularly over the growing season, Nitrogen uptake predictions will be discussed below. When establishing, sprig hybrid coastal bermudagrass at 5 to 15 bushels per acre in rows about 3 to 4 feet apart with sprigs 2 to 3 feet apart within the row. If sprigs are plentiful, the farmer can establish by broadcasting 70 to 100 bushels per acre in late winter and disking in. One bushel will contain about 1,200 sprigs, Best planting dates in the Piedmont and Coastal Plain are between March I and March 31, Planting may also be possible between February 15 to May I if weather conditions are favorable. If irrigated, some planting may spill over into July but this is not highly recommended. Sprig mortality is lessened when ample soil moisture is present. The typical yield for non -irrigated hybrid bermudagrass (as a sole crop) is from 3 to 6 tons per acre, again depending on many factors, not the least of which is soil type. For a Georgeville soil, with slopes from 2 to 8 percent, the R.Y.E. for non -irrigated coastal bermuda hay is about 4.8 tons per acre (this value was obtained from the NCSU document called `Realistic Yield Expectations for Soils of North Carolina"), However if bermudagrass is irrigated with fresh water its yield can be considerably higher. If the coastal bermudagrass at this farm will be grazed by cattle, its R.Y.E. must be reduced by 75% (per NRCS guidelines). The normal nitrogen uptake for hybrid coastal bermudagrass is between 40 and 50 pounds of N per dry ton of hay. If bermudagrass is overseeded with a cool season crop and the overseeded crop is not cut properly in the spring, it can shade the greening bermudagrass and reduce the subsequent yields. Therefore it is important to harvest the overseeded crop in time to encourage bermudagrass'greening. This is often between April 7 and April 30 in most North Carolina coastal and piedmont counties. Harvesting dates will depend on the type 6f overseeded crop being grown. I If the bermudagrass is not being grazed, cut regularly and harvest the residual hay. This is important when calculating crop nitrogen removal capabilities. Bermudagrass should be cut when it is 12 to 15 inches tall. Regular cutting every four to six weeks during the growing season can be expected provided growing conditions are suitable. More or less frequent cutting may be necessary. if the operator is not overseeding, bermudagrass should go into the winter season with 3 to 4 inches of growth. If being overseeded, cut bermudagrass back to 3 inches before planting the winter crop. Do not cut bermudagrass closer than 2 inches from the ground since this can damage the root system. Cereal Rye and Annual Rye Grass Planting a rye crop over bermudagrass affords extra flexibility to a waste management program in terms of spray irrigation opportunities, This endeavor will also enhance nitrogen uptake on an annual basis, provided the crop is harvested. Planting a crop like rye on top of bermudagrass is called "overseeding", It is important to remember that overseeded crops must be managed correctly or they can have a negative impact on a warm season hay crop like bermudagrass and be counter -productive to the grower. Cereal rye is a winter annual small grain that looks similar to wheat, barley, and oats, Annual rye grass is an annual grass that looks much like tall fescue. These two crops are similar in their nutrient uptakes but require a little different management when overseeded onto bermudagrass. Both cereal rye and annual rye grass should be planted between August 20 and October 31 in the piedmont and between September 1 and November 15 in the coastal plain region. Planting by October 15 is recommended to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth. These crops have their most vigorous growth in the spring, and moderate growth in the fall. If winter conditions are not too severe, 18 Itcvis d Aivonomiv Man For Dixi4 Vann - Scplaulav 200 V some plant growth will likewise occur during December and January. Nitrogen uptake is greatest in the spring, The fall nitrogen uptake for cereal rye is a little greater than annual rye grass. Be careful not to plant rye too early in the season if planting over bermudagrass since the bermudagrass may tend to keep growing and shade the emerging rye. The most consistent rye stands are obtained from drilling seed into the soil. If overseeding into bermudagrass sod, make the bermudagrass short (less than 3 inches tall) prior to planting. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. Typical planting of rye is 100 pounds of seed per acre if drilling and 130 to 150 pounds per acre if broadcasting. If an overseeding onto bermudagrass will take place, the last application of animal type waste should be applied to the bermudagrass prior to August 31. In general terms, when the small grain (overseeded on bermuda) is to be harvested, an application of 50 lbslacre of Plant Available Nitrogen (P.A.N.) may be applied between September 15 and November 30, not to exceed 30 pounds in November. An additional 50 Ibs/acre of P.A.N. may be applied from February to March, but do not exceed 25 pounds in early February. If necessary a small amount of nitrogen (10 to 15 lbs/acre/month) can he applied in December and January if called for in the agronomic portion of the waste utilization plan, however it is best to avoid winter applications unless the winter weather is mild. Do not exceed the 50 pounds/acre of P.A.N. for the fall applications, even if you apply some of this P.A.N. in December and January. Winter applied nitrogen must be subtracted from fall and spring application totals to avoid the over application of nitrogen. Total P.A.N. applications onto an overseeded rye crop should be limited to no more than 100 pounds per growing season. If a rye crop is to be grown by itself and harvested and is not overseeded onto a warm season crop like bermudagrass, it is probably best to estimate nitrogen removal by R.Y.E. for the crop. The R.Y.E. for a given mono -culture crop must be linked to soil type. The typical P.A.N. credit for a cereal rye (i.e. small grain) crop is between 1.7 and 2.4 pounds per bushel of harvested crop. The typical P.A.N. for rye cut for hay (i.e. cut in late boot stage) is between 40 and 60 pounds per ton of harvested crop. The R.Y.E. for cereal rye grown on Georgeville Gravelly Silt Loam soil, 2 to 8 percent slopes, was not shown in the RY.E. vs. Soil Type Tables, but is likely to be between 30 and 40 bushels per acre. The R.Y.E. for rye hay grown on the same soil type is likely 3 to 5 tons per acre, depending on the slope of the field and erosion status of the soil. These values were obtained from the NCSU document called "Realistic Yield Expectations for Soils of North Carolina" and/or other Cooperative Extension Publications. Growing rye by itself at Dixie Farm is not planned at this time. If rye is overseeded on bermudagrass and will be grazed by cattle, the P.A.N. applications must be reduced by 25 %, or a maximum application of 75 pounds P.A.N. per year. Cereal rye and annual rye grass harvests are required prior to heading or April 7, which ever comes first. Harvesting annual rye grass too late in the Spring can shade out bermudagrass, thus reducing the yield and nitrogen uptake of the bermudagrass. However, in some Piedmont locations overseeded rye can usually be harvested by April 15 without damage to bermudagrass. If grazing, allow cattle access to the rye before bermudagrass emerges. If rye growth is harvested on time it should not significantly shade the bermuda and reduce bermudagrass yields, if the bermuda is not overseeded it will continue to grow until cool weather. Usually bermudagrass growth will slow and stop around the end of September. 19 Reviscd Aipmomic plan For Dixie i'ann - Scptonhar2001 If the rye will be planted on cultivated soil (i,e. not overseeded on bermudagrass), and will be grazed, and the stubble reincorporated into the soil before planting of row crops, the total P.A.N. is recommended not to exceed 60 pounds per year, but this will depend on the frequency of grazing. If the rye is serving as a cover crop only, not to be harvested, the farmer can land apply waste on the crop but no nitrogen removal credits can be taken, Without harvesting the farmer must only take credits for the primary crop, not the rye crop. If rye is not grazed, cut rye as needed and remove from the site. Usually this will only occur one time for cereal rye but can occur multiple times for annual rye grass. Do not cut the rye closer than about 3 or 4 inches from the ground in order to not damage the emerging bermudagrass shoots or root system. Short rye stubble should be left standing after cutting. Prairiegrass (also known as Rescuegrass or Matua) Prairiegrass (or Matua) is a cool season perennial crop that can grow up to 3 feet when in the seed head stage of growth. Matua reportedly is excellent cattle feed and is suitable for grazing, hay, or silage. This grass has an annual growth curve that is similar to fescue and annual ryegrass. From December to February it can produce slightly more yield than tall fescue, if conditions are favorable. Its most vigorous growth occurs in the spring, Its growth will exceed fescue in summer if moisture is available, but in general its summer growth is slow and the stand usually gets thin. if the spring and early summer months are cool, the matua grass can remain robust and stunt warm season crops like bermudagrass. The reader should study Exhibit 15 to learn specific details about prairiegrass management. The primary crop being grown at Dixie Farm is hybrid bermudagrass. However, Dixie Farm may plant matua grass (in place of cereal rye) over the bermuda grass as a cool season crop. The use of any cool season crop over bermudagrass requires careful management. Matua takes more management than some other cool season crops since its growth will often overlap the greening of bermudagrass in late spring or early summer. Even though it is winter -hardy, it is possible that the Prairiegrass will be stunted or thinned in harsh cold weather since it has growth activity in winter months. A poor stand of matua grass will lessen the amount of animal waste that can be applied. September is the best month to plant prairiegrass. When overseeding onto bermudagrass make sure there is sufficient moisture to germinate the seed and sustain the young matua seedlings. A late September planting may help minimize competition between the young matua and the established bermudagrass. Seeds may be drilled into sod, or broadcast into a prepared seedbed and then rolled with a cuitipacker. Plant prairiegrass seeds at 30 to 35 pounds per acre when drilling and 35 to 40 pounds per acre when broadcasting and roiling. Drill seeds to a depth of 1/4 to 1/2 inch, but no deeper. Seeds planted much deeper than 1/4 inch have increased difficulty germinating. Two direction drilling or cross drilling is preferred. The bermudagrass sod needs to be 3 inches or less. Chemical stunting of the bermudagrass in later summer or early fall is often necessary in order to allow matua }brass to get a good start. Planting matua in November does not typically give the crop sufficient time to grow and thus will not afford a good cover for animal waste application until the next spring. Prairiegrass does best when the soil pH is 6 or higher and the P and K index is medium or higher. Prairiegrass is best planted in well drained soils. Poorly drained soils will diminish yields as will droughty soils. Harvest matua for hay or silage when it is in the late boot or early heading stage. Leave stubble 3 to 4 inches tall, especially in summer months. To minimize shading of bermudagrass, harvest prairiegrass at boot to first signs of head in April and again in May. 20 Rcvised Agronomic Plan For Dixic Fann - September 2001 Matua will naturally reseed a stand if allowed to develop seed heads and disperse. Seed -set is usually allowed anytime between May through August. It usually takes about 40 to 50 days of no grazing or cutting to develop seed heads. Mature seed heads should be brown and dry and easily shattered as one walks through the fields. Natural seeding can be tricky and can shade out bermudagrass. Timing is critical. See more details about matua establishment in Exhibit 15. The determination of how much P.A.N. to land apply to prairiegrass is not a simple task. This determination will depend on prior nitrogen applications, crop establishment, stage of growth, weather, etc. Therefore the reader must refer to Exhibit 15 for an explanation of the different situations related to nitrogen applications, both with pure stands (Table I of Exhibit 15), and with matua overseeded onto bermudagrass (Table 2 of Exhibit 15). The reader can also see specific recommendations for waste applications later in this document, If matua grass is overseeded on bermudagrass and will be grazed by cattle, the annual P.A.N. applications must be reduced by 25 %. If grazing, allow cattle access to the prairiegrass when it is 8 to 12 inches high and let them graze until the stubble is 3 to 4 inches tall. If the bermuda is not overseeded it will continue to grow until cool weather. Usually bermudagrass growth will slow and stop around the end of September or early October.

When the chart says L-N for a month, it may be better to use None unless weather and crop growth permits. The nitrogen application on crops will depend on the planting schedule and the harvest date of previous crops. Animal waste can not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or from crop emergence (i.e. greening). This table was taken from data developed by NCSU, NRCS, and the NC Cooperative Extension Service and tempered with the engineer's experience. Waste with high organic content may require fertilization in advance of Table 13 dates, Likewise when, applying animal waste as preplant fertilizer it may be necessary to apply a High dose since it can not be applied after crop emergence. See written explanations about each crop and the associated animal waste recommendations. TABLE 14 SUMMARIZED R.Y.E.

General Crop Management Reminders In order to maximize yield and provide high quality crops, soil samples and waste samples shall be collected and the analysis incorporated into the desired nutrient application plan. See Exhibit 8 for soil sampling details and Exhibit 9 for waste sample details. Soil samples shall be collected no less than one time per year. Waste samples should be collected up to 6 times per year. Lime according to the NCDA soil reports. Annually the farmer shall compare crop removal rates with nutrient application rates and adjust nutrient applications accordingly. Do not over -apply nutrients to crops since that can result in crop damage, environmental problems, and animal health problems when the crop is consumed. Consult seed companies for exact planting and harvesting suggestions or your local Cooperative Extension Service. Exhibit 8 includes some information about plant tissue sampling. The farmer is encouraged to collect plant tissue samples in advance of the need to fertilize and have them tested for nutrients. This is especially useful if you think you have not applied enough nitrogen to a crop and it looks yellow or stunted. Plant tissue sampling will help you better tune your waste application for the most productive crop without over -applying nitrogen. Contact your local Cooperative Extension Service for more details about plant tissue sampling. It is suggested that the farm minimize the cutting of grasses and/or other crops in the buffer areas and field borders. Taller grass allows for better sediment control and animal habitat in the borders surrounding the fields This is especially important in or near drainage ways or ditches and in areas 22 Revi%cd Ayunumic Plan For Dixie Farm - STtonhcr 2001 where two hillsides converge. The farmer may elect to plant some other type of vegetation in this area which requires minimal maintenance. Cut buffer zones as needed and minimize the use of commercial fertilizers in these areas, See earlier comments about riparian buffers next to perennial streams. Sometimes weeds will try to take over a field of grasses, especially if the grasses have been weakened by drought or disease. Always control weed growth and strive for a mono -culture crop for a particular growing season. NUTRIENT AND ANIMAL WASTE APPLICATIONS Waste Application Scheduling IMPORTANT: An irrigation plan was developed for Dixie farm and certified in 1997 by the MRCS. Subsequently the plan has had a wetted acre determination by Brock Irrigation Company, Exhibit 6 shows some of the data concerning the Dixie Farm irrigation capabilities. EES did not develop any of this irrigation data but is including it in this package since it helps explain the land areas scheduled to receive irrigation. EES is not certifying the irrigation at Dixie Farm since this has already been accomplished. EES will not spend a large amount of time within this revised plan discussing technical irrigation decisions since that was done by someone else. However, a few important concepts will be discussed herein that pertain to irrigating animal waste. Understanding the more technical points of irrigating or broadcasting animal waste is very important to its proper utilization. Knowing soil/water relationships and plant/water relationships helps the farmer decide when irrigation of broadcasting is appropriate. However, it would be much beyond the scope of this revision to the Dixie Farm waste utilization plan to dwell on highly technical aspects of land application. The key point to remember is that the soil must accept and plants must be able to utilize the applied water/waste in order to avoid surface run-off or gravity drainage. Full plant utilization of the water held within the root zone is needed to avoid draining nutrients below the root zone. Careful observations of soil/plant and climatic relationships will help assure a successful irrigation program. Exhibit 19 goes into more detail about irrigation planning.

On -site measurements and experience must be used to accurately schedule irrigation events. Sandy soils may require less dry days between irrigation events. Small amounts of irrigation may be possible without waiting for all the dry days shown. Plant available moisture and other soil/water relationships will dictate actual times between irrigation events. If crops are not actively growing it is better not to irrigate. The operator must use good judgment when applying; waste onto crops. His or her judgment, tempered with crop growth, crop health, rainfall, and other factors will be needed to make a workable application schedule, The farmer must also adhere to lagoon and storage pond designs and suggested maximum and minimum volumes. Always know your lagoon or pond level and available storage volume, A key item to remember is to keep water'levels inside the liquid storage structures (i.e. where irrigation pump is located) at manageable levels. Due to the concerns over possible groundwater contamination occurrences, the owner is encouraged to "spread out' the waste application volumes so as to not concentrate loadings in one place at one time. Heavy effluent loadings can cause nitrogen to quickly leach below the plant root zone. Several light applications per month is often better than one heavy application. Monitor soil moisture so that gravity drainage below the plant root zone is more or less zero. Irrigation Coverage All fields at Dixie Farm will be irrigated. Table 16 summarizes the basic irrigation data as supplied by others; Exhibit 6 lists some additional irrigation data, supplied for reference only.

Also see Exhibit 6. +++ This value will only be possible in warm, dry weather. Irrigated volumes will often be less, or between 0.3 and 0.5 inches per irrigation event. Animal waste can only be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. The Dixie Farm land should qualify given the proper crop covers are maintained. Erosion could easily become a problem at this farm in the irrigated fields if crop covers are not maintained. It is vitally important that the farmer pay close attention to irrigation schedules at this farm. Strong slopes will encourage surface run off to occur, especially during rainfall events. Creeks immediately down - slope from the irrigated fields could be impacted by the over application of effluent or by a sudden rain storm shortly after irrigation. 24 Revised Agronomic Plain For Dixie Farm - SeTte-mb 7 2001 Field by Field Land Application Details Below the reader will see Tables 17 through 22. Each table represents a different set of predicted values related to animal waste application at Dixie Farm. ' These tables are of particular importance since they give approximated waste application values specific to this farm. This animal waste utilization plan has been revised to show reasonable waste application methodology and nitrogen management, but it should be clearly understood that it is made to be changed as crop data and waste test results change. This does not allow the farmer to change crop types beyond those shown in this plan, but it does allow for the mixing of the listed crops. The farmer should use this plan as a guideline for animal waste management and not get hung -up on the exact values presented below. Changes in crop varieties beyond what is shown in this plan will require a revision to this plan prior to planting. Tables 17 through 22 were developed with the following assumptions: i . The farmer will accurately record crop type, waste application amount and type, waste test data, and crop yield for each field receiving animal waste. Animal waste applications will be adjusted according to crops being grown, types of waste applied, recent crop yields, and recent waste test results, 2. The farmer will be able to take the actual crop yields by field number, the quantity of waste applied, and use the P.A.N, uptake values given in this plan to calculate an annual P.A.N. removal for a given field. This will be especially important since the waste analysis for a given waste type can change from season to season. 3. The'farmer will be allowed to decide where to apply all animal waste sources. A combination of animal waste sources (e.g. liquid and slurry) may be used on any field as long as nutrients are not applied greater than agronomic rates. The farmer can not double count waste applications to any field even if using different waste sources, (i.e. part dry waste and part liquid waste). Nitrogen applications are cumulative. Only harvested crops are counted towards P.A.N. removal. Records for the application of commercial fertilizer on waste receiving fields should be kept. 4. The annual P.A.N. available at this farm has been estimated in Table 9. Typically liquid waste will be applied via the irrigation system when possible. Fringe areas outside of the irrigated areas can be fertilized with liquid effluent or slurry via a broadcast wagon. Nutrient applications to fringe areas shall be recorded on a separate record keeping sheet. All waste applications must be recorded and records kept. Explanation of Waste Application Tables -- TABLE 17 Table 17 shows expected crop yields and their related nitrogen uptake specifically for Dixie Farm. At Dixie Farm the engineer is giving the farmer two options for crop combinations. Option 1 considers bermudagrass as the primary warm season crop and rye to be overseeded as a cool season crop. This particular option assumes this bermudagrass/rye combination is grown in all fields under irrigation. Option 2 considers bermudagrass as the primary warm season crop and prairtegrass (matua) to be overseeded as a cool season crop. This particular option assumes this bermudagrass/matua combination is grown in all fields under irrigation. The reader will remember that the farmer may alter the acres of crops being grown. For example, the farmer may grow a bermudagrass/rye combination in Fields 1 and 2 and bermudagrass/matua in Field 3. Or the farmer may grow bermudagrass only in Field 1 and one of the combinations in Fields 2 and 3. Or any other combination of listed crops provided the intent of the 25 Revised Agronomic Plan For Dir'ic Farm - &pterubar 2001 nutrient utilization plan is met. Such diversity is allowed but will require same increased record keeping and on -farm management. The engineer would recommend keeping the actual crop scheme as simple as possible to facilitate record keeping and estimating P.A.N. removal. The reader will note that the R.Y.E. for the bermuda and rye crops were taken from the NCSU document called "Realistic Yield Expectations for Soils of North Carolina" and adjusted for field slope and erosion. The R.Y.E. for the matua grass was taken from conversations with NCSU Crop Science Cooperative Extension personnel and from recent published articles about this issue. All of the crops are being grown on Georgeville soils. The amount of nitrogen uptake estimated in Table 17 (i.e. 45 pounds of P,A.N. per ton of harvested hay) was an average value taken from published ranges for this type of hay crop. The reader will note that nitrogen uptake is often greater if a crop has an abundant amount of this element present in the soil. This is called luxury uptake. Therefore the actual nitrogen uptake for these crops may be 50 pounds per ton of hay, or more. Using 45 ounds of P, A.N. u take er ton is a conservative estimate. In practice, if crop yields are reduced, either due to a lack of nitrogen or crop failure, this should be recorded and the plan adjusted accordingly. Likewise, if crop yields are increased, the farmer may wish to apply slightly more P.A.N. However, be careful not to apply too much P.A.N. The engineer does not suggest applying supplemental fertilizer to the crops unless this is a significant income maker for the farm or if the crops are performing poorly from the lack of nutrients. All of these crops are to be removed as hay. Table 17 shows each field and pull lane. This should help the farmer with record keeping and corresponds to the Brock Equipment Company irrigation design. There are about 16.3 acres of crop land at Dixie but all of it is not irrigated. TABLE 17 APPEARS ON THE FOLLOWING PAGE IN ITS ENTIRETY 26 FARM NAME: FARM OWNER(S): FARM LOCATION: DIXIE FARM N.G.

This table summarizes potential nitrogen removal by crop (and option). The larger wetted acre pull lanes have more nitrogen removal potential since they contain more acres, not because of a greater R.Y.E. At the bottom of Table 18 is a summary of the total estimated P.A.N. removal potential for all wetted acres assuming the farmer plants all irrigated acres in either Option 1 or Option 2. A summary of the calculated P.A.N. production at Dixie Farm (in the liquid lagoon waste) is also given at the end of this table so a comparison can be made. First considering Option 1, please note that given all of the assumptions for RYE,, waste analyses averages, wastewater generation, etc. the wetted acres under irrigation in this option (13.47 acres) are sufficient to utilize about 99% of the P.A,N. generated. For all practical purposes Option 1 should suffice to remove the generated nutrients if all crop yields and farm generated P.A.N. are as estimated. Obviously in very poor crop years, the crop yields would be reduced and the farmer may have to land apply waste in the fringe areas outside of the irrigation lanes in order to achieve the tons of hay to balance with nutrients applied, However, since all conditions are estimated based on averages, and in some instances conservative averages, the engineer feels as though Option I is viable. Option 1 is less management intensive than Option 2. Secondly considering Option 2; please note that given all of the assumptions for R.Y.E., waste analyses averages, wastewater generation, etc. the wetted acres under irrigation in this option (13.47 acres) are more than would be needed to utilize the estimated P.A.N. production. Table 18 shows Option 2 only needs about 9.4 acres, or only about 70% of the wetted acres would be needed to utilize the P.A.N. generated. Option 2 would offer some cushion against poor crop yields without having to resort to applying waste in the fringe areas of fields. Option 2 will require more management than Option 1 and will be slightly more expensive to maintain (i.e. higher seeding and maintenance costs). This waste utilization document does not specifically address nitrogen application on germinating or very young crops, Thus the farmer must use good judgment when planting and applying waste to young crops. Young crops can not remove large quantities of nitrogen thus possibly requiring split applications. Remember, do not apply animal waste directly to crops scheduled for human consumption. Some residual nitrogen carry-over from the organic fraction in animal waste and crop residue will be left on the irrigated land from year to year. You might say there is a carry over of nitrogen so you may need to apply less as the years go by. In sandy soils, nitrogen carry-over this tends to be less of a factor. Be aware of this aspect and do not over apply nitrogen. As one final point about Table 18, if Option 2 were used in every field, there may be a nitrogen shortage that would decrease yields. While most farmers do not worry about a lack of nitrogen in animal waste, it could reduce the R, Y.E. shown in this plan. Good record keeping. of crop yields, waste analysis, and irrigation volume tracking will be the only way to accurately examine year to year balances.

PAGE 29 Revises! Agrmiomic Plan For Dixic f ann - SepLeinbcr 2001 TABLE 19 Table 19 shows possible irrigation windows for fields I through 3 under Option I only. It shows some irrigation is possible every month if the right conditions are met. Irrigating every month of the year would depend on the many factors already mentioned in this document. There must be a planted and/or growing cool and warm season crop in order to irrigate every month of the year. December and January irrigation is discouraged unless fall applications of nitrogen have been small. The reader should carefully read all the precautions about year round nitrogen applications. Exhibit 15 offers many suggestions on the rate of nitrogen application on overseeded crops. The monthly nitrogen applications shown in Table 19 are only suggested and are close to the guidelines referenced in Exhibit 15. This table also shows expected liquid amounts to land apply in a gallons per acre column and in an inches per acres column. The reader will note that the largest one month application of water for Option 1 is 0.94 inches. This much irrigation would likely occur in a split application and would fall well below the maximum application of 0.75 inches per irrigation event. Table 19 suggests there are 33 pounds of P.A.N. in the liquid waste that can not be used on the irrigated fields. Then reader should ignore such a small value (given the assumptions madeL and. consider_ the P.AN. generated equal to the P,A.N. removed in this Option. The reader must realize that monthly application rates will vary according to many factors. Also, the engineer has assumed that liquid effluent will be available to deliver these nitrogen quantities. If the animal waste effluent is greatly lacking the needed nutrients, or lacking sufficient liquid quantities the operator "could" occasionally need to supplement nutrients. However, use caution when applying commercial fertilizers. Consider using slurry or separated solids instead of commercial fertilizer as it becomes available. Annually look at nutrients like phosphorous and metals to make sure you are not over applying this or other nutrients.

PAGE 31 Revised Agonomic Ylan For Dixic Fame - Sep[anl3'r 2001 TABLE 20 Table 20 shows possible irrigation windows for Fields 1 through 3 under Option 2 only. It shows some irrigation every month is possible if crop and weather conditions are favorable (see foot notes at the end of this table). Irrigating every month of the year would depend on the many factors already mentioned in this document. There must be a planted and/or growing cool and warm season crop in order to irrigate in every month of the year, December and January irrigation is discouraged unless fall applications of nitrogen have been small. The reader should carefully read all the precautions about year round nitrogen applications. Exhibit 15 offers many suggestions on the rate of nitrogen application on overseeded crops. The monthly nitrogen applications shown in Table 20 are only suggested and are close to the guidelines referenced in Exhibit 15. This table also shows expected liquid amounts to land apply in a gallons per acre column and in an inches per acres column. The reader will note that the largest one month application of water for Option 2 is 1.04 inches. This would likely occur in a split application and would fall well below the maximum application of 0.75 inches per irrigation event. Table 20 suggests Option 2 would result in a nitrogen deficit of 1,516 pounds. This means the crops can remove more nitrogen than is expected to exist in the liquid waste. If such a nitrogen deficit would exist, it could reduce crop yields. The reader must realize that monthly application rates will vary according to many factors. Also, the engineer has assumed that liquid effluent will be available to deliver these nitrogen quantities. If the animal waste effluent is greatly lacking the needed nutrients, or lacking sufficient liquid quantities the operator "could" occasionally need to supplement nutrients. However, use caution when applying commercial fertilizers: Consider using slurry or separated solids instead of commercial fertilizer as it becomes available. Option 2 assumes the yields of the crops will be as predicted even though the nitrogen needed for maximum crop growth may not be available. The reader will note that most regulatory people wish for the nitrogen and other nutrients from animal waste to be reduced prior to land applications. However, as one may conclude from Option 2, the lack of P.A.N. will most likely reduce the R.Y.E. of the crops, especially if Option 2 were to go on for several years in a row. The farmer might consider only overseeding Fields 1 and 2 to better balance the nitrogen loadings, or he may wish to have the extra crop capacity in case his P.A.N. values rise during the year. Because the ultimate outcome of a given crop year is interrelated to the specific activities of that year, it is extremely important that the farmer closely observe his/her farming details and input values. Good records are extremely important and a good farmer will make adjustments as needed. Annually look at nutrients like phosphorous and metals to make sure you are not over applying this or other nutrients. Crop yields must be figured back into the nitrogen removal equation. The farmer may wish, to adjust application amounts or reduce acreage to better balance nutrients with crop demand, especially after reviewing last years cropping records. Always record yields removed from all acreage. Also record fresh water irrigation events and the addition of commercial fertilizer. The reader should be less concerned about "theoretical values" and more concerned with keeping good records to see what is actually happening at their farm.

PANIAC APPLIED AT THE FIRST OF THE MONTH. PAGE 34 IRevised Agronomic Plan For Dixie Emil - SgAenher 2001 TABLE 21 (storage impoundment and irrigation water balance - Option 1) It is very important to realize that the operator must use good judgment when applying effluent to crops. His or her judgment, tempered with crop growth, crop health, rainfall, and other factors will be needed to make a workable irrigation schedule. The farmer must also adhere to lagoon or storage pond designs as well as maximum and minimum storage volumes. Always know your storage pond liquid level and available storage volume (remember we do get hurricanes in NC). Lower water levels in storage systems before the on -set of long wet seasons. A key item to remember is to keep water levels inside the pond low enough to store at least one 25 year 24 hour storm before overflow (or 2 storms if this is written into your CAWMP). Allowing for 2 such storms is better but not required for this pond due to its age and since these structures are not being altered and the SSLW at the farm is not changing, The 1977 NRCS evaluation allowed one storm. The engineer has assumed all pond surfaces will drain into the storage pond during such a rainfall. Table 21 shows an illustration of the annual water balance for the storage impoundment at Dixie Farm. Ideally, Table 21 should show that about the same amount of wastewater was being irrigated as was being generated each month. However in the real world, wastewater will need to be stored some months and removed from storage in other months. If the storage pond gets near empty, the farmer will simply reduce or stop irrigating until liquid levels build back. This table shows that the storage pond is near empty by the month of July. Then it slowly builds back volume through out the next 6 months. Heavy irrigation from in the Spring and Summer should again lower the pond volume. Actual irrigation amounts and storage accumulation levels will vary from year to year. The storage volume in impoundment # 3 can not exceed 1,065,444 gallons based on the estimates of the NRCS back in 1997. The 1,065,444 gallon volume still allows room to store one 25 year 24 hour storm. Table 21 is only an example to show how the volume in the pond tends to change from month to month. It is not intended to accurately predict a monthly storage volume, but to only show that the storage water will rise and fall over a 12 month period. Monthly variations in excess wastewater accumulation (due to rainfall and/or animal waste) are omitted from this example. Instead monthly wastewater generation is shown to be equal every month, but this is not highly accurate. A more accurate analysis of seasonal rainfall alone would show some variations between months. However for uncovered lagoons or ponds at hog facilities, using an average is the acceptable methodology. The engineer has assumed a start volume of 600,000 gallons in January for this example, but this will change from year to year. Table 21 assumes no irrigation occurs in December and January.

PAGE 36 Revised Agronondo Plan For Dixie Fanu - Scptembix 2001 TABLE 22 (storage,impoundment and irrigation water balance - Option 2) Table 22 is very similar to Table 21 and shows an illustration of the annual water balance for the storage impoundment at Dixie Farm under Option 2 crop conditions. Ideally, Table 22 should show that about the same amount of wastewater was being irrigated as was being generated each month, However in the real world, wastewater will need to be stored some months and removed from storage in other months. If the storage pond gets near empty, the farmer will simply reduce or stop irrigating until liquid levels build back. This table shows that the storage pond is more or less empty from June to October since the farmer can irrigate all of the generated water during this time. Then it slowly builds back volume from November to January. Heavy irrigation from February through the spring and summer would again lower the pond volume to low or empty status. Actual irrigation amounts and storage accumulation levels will vary from year to year. The storage volume in impoundment # 3 can not exceed 1,065,444 gallons based on the estimates of the NRCS back in 1997. The 1,065,444 gallon volume still allows room to store one 25 year - 24 hour storm. Table 21 is only an example to show how the volume in the pond tends to change from month to month. It is not intended to accurately predict a monthly storage volume, but to only show that the storage water will rise and fall over a 12 month period. Monthly variations in excess wastewater accumulation (due to rainfall and/or animal waste) are omitted from this example. Instead monthly wastewater generation is shown to be equal every month, but this is not highly accurate. A more accurate analysis of such variables would show mare variations between months and seasons. However for uncovered lagoons or ponds at hog facilities, using the same excess wastewater production each month as an average is the acceptable methodology, The engineer has assumed a start volume of 600,000 gallons in January for this example so the reader can compare the monthly values to Table 21.

Klimek, P. E., Director Division of Water Quality OCT 15 2094 DENR-FAYEiTEVILLE REGIONAL OFRGE Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. AWS630003 Dixie Farms Swine Waste Collection, Treatment, Storage and Application System Moore County Dear N.G. Purvis Farms: On June 11, 2004, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued a revised State General Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733 (Session Law 2003-28). In accordance with your application received on March 6, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to N.G. Purvis Farms, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWG 100000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS630003 which expires October 1, 2004. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Dixie Farms, located in Moore County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 806 Farrow to Wean swine and the application to land as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009. Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals. Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit.

Dear Mr. Hasty, I am writing in regards to the lack of current soil samples for the facilities 63-01, 63-06, 63-07, 63-08. We have taken and sent off samples as of May 16, 2000. When results of the samples are returned the appropriate applications of lime will be done. Facility 63-03 needed the rye over seed cut, this was done on May 5, 2000. This would have been done earlier but weather did not permit such. Freeboard levels are now being recorded. On May 9, 2000 ,Terry Hall and Kevin William installed a lagoon level marker.

Telephone: 910 - 9 48 -- 229'7 Type Operation: FA RR -OW - 70 — W EAt-J Number of Animals: S oi6 sows (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 acre 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 21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. 1 ' WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Amount of waste produced per year (gallons, cu.ft., tons, etc.) 906 animals x O. 12atn,waste/animaVyear = 9 (a.7 AC.-11%J Jyear.

In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 83. 3 . (srac.7 POMP NAR, EK) Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil 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: There are 25.0 acres established in fescue in fields 1,2, and 3 for this operation. Because of field shape, buffers, and irrigation system layout there is approximately 10.9 acres of effective coverage under irrigation. This operation has a three stage (hole) system with 180 days of temporary storage. Effluent from the lower lagoon will be applied to the fescue by irrigation using a traveling gun system. The landowner has a honey wagon to apply waste in field number 2 and other areas not covered by irrigation in fields 1 and 3 if necessary. Foxtail Millet may be planted in May to give another window of opportunity for application of effluent. Sludge will need to be removed from the system every 5-10 years. A waste analysis will need to be run on this material prior to application and a waste utilization plan prepared for the sludge. Additional fields will probably be needed for proper utilization. 4 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 1. 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. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. 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. 3. 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, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.] 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. 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" in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.] 5 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (Continued) 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. 18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and 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. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion; leakage, or discharge. 19.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. 20. 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. 7 .1 r t ILA-d ry AL JLA_JJLA_Jri Y 1"1 `l A l jt-IiN WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEMENT NAME OF FARM: D I X I E FARM OWNERIMANAGER AGREEMENT I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specification and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above.'

Additional information is required before we can continue our review. Please address the following by April 22, 1999: Please submit lagoon capacity documentation (design, as -built calculations, etc.). Be sure to include any site evaluations, wetland determinations, or hazard classifications that may be applicable. Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) lists the Yield for Fescue as 4.5 tons per acre. This is higher than currently recommended for Georpeville soil. Please contact your technical specialist to revise the Waste Utilization Plan or provide justification that supports the increased yield as shown in the current WUP. Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist. Your Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) lists the yield for Millet overseed on 2.5 tons per acre. This yield does not seem to account for any reduction in yield of either crop due to overseeding. Please have a technical specialist review you're the yield for Millet in your WUP. Please note that all WUP revisions must be signed and dated by both the owner and the technical specialist. Please reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. All information should be signed, sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below. The information requested by this letter, must be submitted on or before April 22, 1999 or the Division will return your application as incomplete in accordance with 15A N.C.A.C. 2H .0200 and your facility will be considered to be operating without a permit. Please be advised that operation of the subject animal waste management system without a valid permit is a violation of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and will subject you to the enforcement authority of the Environmental Management Commission.

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 torts per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre 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.

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. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing himther the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. 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. 3. 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, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to `Buffers" required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.] 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or dishing after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. 5. 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" in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.] v WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATION 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 conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application. S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall not be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. 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 on bare soil. I L Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. [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 a 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 should 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. 6 00 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 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.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and 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. Lagoon 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. 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 preplant 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 element.

NC State University Forage roduction Workgroup Crop Management Practices for Select Forages Used in Waste Management Departrmnt of Crop Science Cdlaga of Aghcuhurs and Lice 5cienea Campus Box 7620 Raleigh, NC 27695-7620 919.515.2647 919.515.7959 (lax) The following is a four -page summary of suggestions for management practices for some forage crops that can be used in waste management plans. These suggestions are a result of discussions within the NC State University Forage Production Workgroup, a group comprised of NC State faculty and NRCS agency personnel with expertise with the crops. i There are limited documented research responses of some of these practices on the many soils and environments where these crops are currently being grown. The Forage Production Workgroup has taken the available data and used the combined experiences and realistic estimates of key people to come up with suggestions that will allow farmers to incorporate these crops and practices into waste management plans. As data become available to substantiate or refute these suggestions, the Forage Production Workgroup will make appropriate changes. Bermuda Overseeded 14'ith Cereal Rye and Annual Ryegrass Currently two types of "ryegrass" are being used for winter overseeding in fields used for animal waste management. Cereal rye is a winter annual srnallgrain that looks similar to wheat, barley and oats. Annual ryegrass is a winter annual grass that looks much like tall fescue. Both of these grasses, when growing during the winter on bermuda sod, can have significant impact on subsequent bermuda yields. In effect, the total yields from an acre growing the combination of Bermuda with these winter annuals will usually yield between 1-2 tons more per acre than bermuda growing alone for the year. Therefore, the total amount of PAN /acre for the year is about 100 lbs more than for bermuda alone. Although cereal rye and annual ryegrass are suitable crops for overseeding, the management of the crops are different and thus practices implemented are dependent on the crop selected.

NC 27695-7620 919,515.2647 919.515.7959 (lax) Cereal Rye The cereal rye should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling rye into short (less than 3 inches tall) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An application of 50 lbs/acre of Plant Available N (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30. An additional 50 lbs/acre of PAN may be applied in February -March, If rye growth is harvested on time and does not significantly shade the bermuda, PAN rates for the subsequent bermuda crop are based on realistic yields of bermuda. A harvest is required prior to heading or April 7, which ever comes first. This is necessary to minimize the potential for shading bermuda and reducing its yields. The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded with cereal rye must be reduced in accordance with MRCS Technical Standard #590. Annual Ryegrass Annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short (less than 3 inches tall) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the Bermuda prior to August 31. An application of 50 lbs/acre of (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30. An additional 50 lbs/acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If additional PAN is applied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the Bermuda must be reduced by a corresponding amount. This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will reduce bermuda yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is required by heading or April 7, which ever comes first to prevent shading of emerging bermuda during April -May period. To favor the production of the bermuda, additional harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height. The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded with annual ryegrass must be reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard #590. Noah CWna State u*arsty is a Ia.

However, until further data is collected, the following guidelines may be used. 1. On sandy textured soils that are well drain or excessively well drained, gamagrass may yield similar to hybrid bermudagrass at similar PAN rates. 2. On heavy textured soils that are poorly to somewhat poorly drained, gamagrass may yield 1.5-3 times more than hybrid bermuda. Gamagrass establishes slowly and will not usually produce much harvestable forage during the establishment year. It is best to allow the growth during the seedling year to accumulate for most or all season; if it is to be harvested, it should be done after full seedhead formation on a majority of the plants. Therefore, PAN for the seedling year should be modified accordingly. Overseeding gamagrass with winter annuals is not currently advised because the harvesting or grazing management of the winter annual crops during February -April would be detrimental to the survival of gamagrass. Gamagrass should not normally be harvested or grazed below 6-8 inches stubble. Application rates are to be based on the realistic N rates that address the N needs per ton of hay, a realistic yield and an appropriate application window. When harvested as hay in the 24- 36 inch stage of growth, the N rate ranges from 40-50 lbs/ton of dry matter. The PAN rate for grazed systems must be reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard #590. The application window for gamagrass is slightly earlier than for bermuda; gamagrass starts growing about 3-4 weeks earlier than Coastal bermudagrass and about 2-3 weeks earlier than Tifton 44. Gamagrass is dormant from frost to March. The last application of PAN in the summer should be prior to August 31. Rescuegrass (i.e. Matua) Rescuegrass is a cool season grass and makes most of its growth from March -June and September -November. It should receive most of its N during the September -October and late February through May months. Limited data are available for realistic yields of rescuegrass on various soils and at various N levels in North Carolina. However, until further data is collected the following suggestions may be useful. 1. On sandy, well drained to excessively drained soils, rescuegrass may yield 1.5- 3 times fescue, assuming a uniform and dense stand of grass is present. North CWdma Stale Unrysesty a a l Department of Crop Science 9raM lnrverssy and a coredAuenl rnlwpon of The Uruveniy d North Carotna College of Agnculture and Life Science Campus Box 7620 Raleigh, NC 27696-7620 919.515.2647 919.515.7959 (fax) 2. On wet or poorly drained soils, rescuegrass may yield .75 -1.0 times as [much as fescue. 3. On soils where both are well adapted the yields of rescuegrass may be 1-1.5 times more than fescue. The above RYE estimates assume that stand density is maintained through natural reseeding every year. Although rescuegrass is a "perennial" it does not maintain dense, satisfactory stands unless it is allowed to reseed every year. Even under this management it is likely that disease will affect one or more growths in some years. Application rates are to be based on the realistic N rates that address the N needs per ton of hay, a realistic yield and an appropriate application window. When harvested as hay, the N rate is similar to other cool season grasses such as fescue, ranging from 40-50 lbs/ton. Rescuegrass may also continue some growth in June -August if moisture is available. During these off-seasons, rescuegrass should not receive more than about 25 lbs N/acre/month. Only apply 25 lbs N/acre in June -August if the equivalent of I -inch of water can be applied at the same time. If the crop does not respond with at least a 1000 lbs of growth within a 3-5 week period do not make another application until the plants have had the opportunity to use the previous application. 8 5.0 84.0 83.0 Z Rz.0 0 Q LO J w 81.0 J2S 3 (START PUMP ) 164, 000 cu.

The report stated that an application violation had occurred during November of 2004 on land planned for wheat, but never planted. The purpose for this letter is to verify Mr. Allreds reasons for not planting wheat following the application of waste in the required 30 day period. On November 1, 2004, construction began on a new swine lagoon on Allred Farms. The lagoon was planned to be installed in 1997, but due to the passage of House Bill 515, a permit for construction was denied by James K. Leumas P.E., State Dam Safety Engineer. Lagoon construction was in an area which served as the only access for planting and harvest equipment to the cropland spray fields. Due to construction delays from various reasons, an access road to the cropland was not installed until the 14th of December, which is well past the recommended seeding date in piedmont soils. Mr. Allred has a long term no till contract under the USDA Environmental Quality Incentives Program on the spray fields. He plans to plant corn on the fields as soon as possible to replace the planned wheat crop. Through past experiences with Mr. Allred, we do not feel that the violation was intended, but a combination of events beyond his control. Please feel free to give us a call if you have any questions concerning this matter. Sincerely, Ke in Williams District Conservationist cc: Todd Bennett, Division o Water Qualit f Tiatriii A IlrPrl %..� w w i Yia w. '7 w,s Williams, Kevin - Carthage, NC From: Hansard, Roger - Raleigh, NC Sent: Friday, April 08, 2005 10:16 AM To: Williams, Kevin - Carthage, NC Subject: Nitrogen uptake Kevin, From the information I have available and a discussion with Dr. Jim Green, Professor in the Crop Science Department at NCSU, I believe Poa annua takes up nitrogen at the same rate that other frequently used cool season forages do. This belief is based on leaf composition analysis and similar growth patterns. Our fertilization recommendation for other cool season grasses such as Tall Fescue, Orchardgrass or Kentucky Bluegrass is 50 lbs, of nitrogen for each expected ton of dry matter accumulation (growth). Poa annua does not produce a lot of forage (dry matter) each year. Typically where found in North Carolina with a full stand and adequate fertilization it will produce about 500 lbs. of dry matter annually. This would represent about 12-13 lbs. of nitrogen removal from the soil when applied as fertilizer regardless of the source. Roger Hansard Water Quality Specialist WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Producer: David Allred Location: 5 miles North of Robbins, N.C. left side of N.C. Hwy. 705 Telephone: 910-464-3891 Type Operation: Wean -to -Feeder and Finishing Number of Animals: 6953 wean -to -feeder and 2360 finishing (Design Capacky) 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 acre 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 1180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every (o MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed the level of the start pump marker. Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil 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: The landowners facilities have the required volume for 180 days of temporary storage. Effluent from the operation will be applied to approximately 266 acres of cropland. The landowner uses a double crop rotation using wheat, corn, soybeans, and grain sorghum. The cropping sequence that would use the least PAN would be wheat followed by grain sorghum. This is what is shown in the summary of tables 1 and 2 on page 3 of this plan. The landowner will be applying effluent with an irrigation system and with a honey wagon. On the fields that have irrigation, the honey wagon will be used to cover the areas that the irrigation system does not cover to make maximum use of the land available. Sludge will need to be removed from the system every 5-10 years. This plan does not cover sludge removal. When removal is needed, a waste analysis will be run on this material and a waste utilization plan will be prepared. 4 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 1. 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. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. 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. 3. 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, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict' the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) _ - Riparian Forest Buffers.] 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. 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" in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.] W WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATION T. 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 conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall not be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. 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 on bare soil. 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. [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 a 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 should 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. 0 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 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.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and 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. Lagoon 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 preplant 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 element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitered and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals 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.

High levels of these metals in soils can adversely affect plant growth. The following table provides a conservative (maximum potential) estimate for increase in soil index values. * Due to inherit variability of waste and soil sampling, it is recommended that conservative soil target levels be set for copper (e.g. Cu-I < 700-1000) and zinc (e.g. Zn-1 < 300 for land where peanuts may be grown; for other cropland Zn-I < 700-1000). Alternative application sites should be selected if the following table indicates that concentrations of these metals may approach excessive levels.

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land application field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance). 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. 857608 Database Version 3,1 Date Printed: 1 1/21/2005 Specification Pace I 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters. 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. lb. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 857608 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 1 1/21/2005 Specification Pape 2 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 soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. 857608 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: l 1/21/2005 Specification Pape 3 GENERAL LAGOON CLEANOUT INFORMATION: Cleanout Start Date: 11-18-2005 Cleanout End Date: 11-24-2005 349766 Date Printed: 11-21-2005 Info Page 1 Crop Notes The following crop note applies to field(s): 1, 3, 4, 6 Wheat: Piedmont In the Piedmont, wheat should be planted from October 10-November 3.

Fayetteville, NC 28301-5043 Dear Mr. Edwards, On March 16, 2005, we received a copy of a routine animal operation site visit for facility number 63-2, Allred Farms. The report stated that an application violation had occurred during November of 2004 on land planned for wheat, but never planted. The purpose for this letter is to verify Mr. Allreds reasons for not planting wheat following the application of waste in the required 30 day period. On November 1, 2004, construction began on a new swine lagoon on Allred Farms. The lagoon was planned to be installed in 1997, but due to the passage of House Bill 515, a permit for construction was denied by James K. Leumas P.E., State Dam Safety Engineer. Lagoon construction was in an area which served as the only access for planting and harvest equipment to the cropland spray fields. Due to construction delays from various reasons, an access road to the cropland was not installed until the 141h of December, which is well past the recommended seeding date in piedmont soils. Mr. Allred has a long term no till contract under the USDA Environmental Quality Incentives Program on the spray fields. He plans to plant corn on the fields as soon as possible to replace the planned wheat crop. Through past experiences with Mr. Allred, we do not feel that the violation was intended, but a combination of events beyond his control. Please feel free to give us a call if you have any questions concerning this matter.

This review, undertaken in accordance with G.S. 143-215.1 OD, is one of two routine site visits scheduled for all subject animal operations in 2005. Staff from the Division of Water Quality will conduct a separate compliance inspection. • During the review, it was noted that swine waste had been applied to three pulls in November 2004 in which the crop (wheat) was never planted. You stated that you were unable to plant the wheat due to the construction of the new lagoon which blocked access to the field. The nitrogen application amounts are as follows: Pull Number Nitrogen Applied Pounds per Acre 4 69 5 93 6 85 The allowable nitrogen rate on the wheat was 96 pounds of nitrogen per acre. Your permit requires that the crop be planted within 30 days of the first nitrogen application. It was for this reason that your operations were referred to the Division of Water Quality for further investigation and possible enforcement action. G.S. 143-215.10E requires staff from the Division of Soil and Water Conservation to notify the Division of Water Quality and the owner/operator of these observed violations. 225 Green Street, Suite 7141 Systel Bld.

After a review of this information, the Office decided not to issue a NOV for spraying on fields #4, #5, and #6 without a proper cover crop. We encourage you to coordinate with the representatives of the Moore Soil & Water Conservation District during the construction of the new lagoon to avoid a similar problem in the future.

The referral described the application of swine wastewater onto fields without a cover crop. After reviewing the on -site records and the fields, it was confirmed that three pulls (#4, #5, and #7) received wastewater between November 15, 2004 and November 26, 2004, and no cover crop was ever planted. The fields received 69 ib PANIac, 93 lb PANIac, and 85 lb PANIac, respectively. District conservationists were on -site to provide information regarding the construction of a new lagoon and the events that led to wheat not being planted in the field. Because of the extenuating circumstances involved with this situation, the Fayetteville Regional Office requests additional information before considering whether or not to proceed with a NOV. Please submit the following items to this Office by May 2, 2005: 1. Copies of all irrigation, lagoon -level, rainfall, and waste analysis records from January 1, 2004 to the present 2. A copy of the most recent W UP 3. A copy of the letter from the District Conservationist 4. A letter from a certified agronomist providing potential PAN -uptake information for the field's current weed cover If you have any questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at (910) 486-1541.

Ross, Secretary Division of Soil & Water Conservation Mr. David Allred 799 Jasper Road Robbins, North Carolina 27325 SUBJECT: Operation Review Notice of Referral for Allred Farms, Facility Number 63-2, Moore County Dear Mr. Allred, NCDENR ENVIRQN M ENT AND NATURAL REsouRc E5 On March 4, 2005, an operation review was conducted of Allred Farms, facility number 63-2, in Moore County. This review, undertaken in accordance with G.S. 143-215.1 OD, is one of two routine site visits scheduled for all subject animal operations in 2005. Staff from the Division of Water Quality will conduct a separate compliance inspection. • During the review, it was noted that swine waste had been applied to three pulls in November 2004 in which the crop (wheat) was never planted. You stated that you were unable to plant the wheat due to the construction of the new lagoon which blocked access to the field. The nitrogen application amounts are as follows: Pull Number Nitrogen Applied (Pounds per Acre) 4 69 5 93 6 85 The allowable nitrogen rate on the wheat was 96 pounds of nitrogen per acre. Your permit requires that the crop be planted within 30 days of the first nitrogen application. It was for this reason that your operations were referred to the Division of Water Quality for further investigation and possible enforcement action. G.S. 143-215.10E requires staff from the Division of Soil and Water Conservation to notify the Division of Water Quality and the owner/operator of these observed violations. 225 Green Street, Suite 714 / Systel Bid.

Site findings and recommended corrective actions as discussed are noted in the comment sections. Please remember that in order for your facility to remain in compliance with environmental regulations, animal waste cannot be discharged into the waters of the State, and the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and disposal systems must be properly maintained and operated under the responsible charge of a certified operator. On behalf of the Division of Soil and Water Conservation, I appreciate your cooperation with this operation review.
