The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste
is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed
before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant .
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen.
Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed
under DWQ regulations.

5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential
for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than
30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change
methods in the future, you need to revise this plan_ Nutrient levels for different application
methods are not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could
allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for thearea receiving waste to
be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Ume must
be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR ( gallons, 0, tons, etc.):
4400 animals X 986 gal/animal/year =
4,336,200 gallons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN PRODUCED PER YEAR (Ibs):
4400 animals X 2.30 lbslanimallyear =
10,120.00 lbs
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate
equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.

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

Acres shown in the preceding table are considered to be the usable acres excluding
required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas
not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the fields
listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at
agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to
prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 0.36 pounds of plant available nitrogen per animal per year in the
sludge based on the application method listed earlier.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 7920.00
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 26.40 acres of land. If you apply
the sludge to com at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 63.36 acres of land.
Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements
could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and
applications.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION:
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation
such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil
structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not
exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the
plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the
producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly

irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

*This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount
of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application
amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation_ The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the
waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of
freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsiability of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment
is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste.

1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff; drift, maimtade conveyances, duty application, or
direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is
prohibited
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has a notarized agreement: for use
of adequate land on which taproperly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly
dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of a notarized 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 thr owner of the
facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operaion, 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 reaL'stic crop yields based on soil type,
available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulation_ that
restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. Actual yields may be u..ed in lieu of realistic yield tables at the
discretion of the planncr.
4. Animal waste shall be applied on land,eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that
is eroding at more than 5 tons but less than 10 tons per aerea per year providing grasp filter amps are installed where
runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 Filter Su ips)
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or dishing after waste application. Waste should not be applied when
there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventiocally tilled
cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the

John,
Stoney told me about the newly dug ditch along HWY.76 with possible
swine odors present.
on 9/13/01 I went to this site. There was very little water in this
ditch at this time and it was stagnant. There is a farm (24-7 - Waddell
Farms) north of this ditch. The ditch drains towards this facility, so I
don't think even if this facility had a discharge it would back up hill
to HWY.76. I did go to this facility and found no evidence of a
discharge. I will say at the HWY.76 ditch., swine odors were present. The
wind was from the North at around 10 + MPH. No irrigation was being
conducted.
5o I would have to believe the complainant did smell the facility but
not in the water that was in the ditch.
Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Dear Mr. Barnhill:
Subject. NOTICE OF DEFICIENCY
Cecil Barnhill and Sons Farm
Facility Number: 24-7
Columbus County
On May 6, 1997, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality
inspected your animal operation and the lagoons) serving this operation. It was observed that erosion cuts
and other bare areas on the lagoon wall could threaten the integrity of the structure.
As we discussed during the inspection, the erosion cuts in the lagoon wall should be filled and
revegetated. It may be necessary to regrade the inner wall of the lagoon to get a vegetative cover
established. We recommend that you contact your service company, local MRCS, or Soil and Water District
office for any assistance they may be able to provide to correct this situation.
To remain a deemed permitted facility, you must notify this office in writing within fourteen (14) days
of the receipt of this notice, what actions will be taken to comply with your waste management plan. Failure
to do so may result in the facility losing it's deemed permitted status.

Your animal waste management facility has been designed fur a
given storage capacity. Wiled the waste reaches Elie des i gtied
level, It must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface and/or ground water. The plant riutrierits
In Elie animal waste should be used to reduce the amount or
commercial fertilizer required for the crops an the fields
where the waste is to be applied. This waste utIllratioti plan
uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should by
analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests
are encouraged so that all plant riutrlerits can be balanced for
realistic yields of tire crop to be grown.
Several factors are Important In Implementing your waste
utilization plan In order to maximize the fertilizer value or
Elie waste and to ensure that It is applied In an
etivirnrimentally sate mariner. Always apply waste based air the
needs -of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of Elie
waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop ran utilize.
Sall types are important as they have different lnflitraElon
rates and leaching potential. Waste small not be applied to
land eroding at greater than 5 totis per acre per year. Do riot
apply waste on saturated'sollg or -an land when the surface Is
frozen. Either of these conditions may result In runorr to
surface waters. Wind conditlong should also be considered to
avoid drlrt.and downwind odor problems. Td maximize the value
or nutrients for crop production and to reduce Elie potential
for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growirig crop or
not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the t•r,ygte
or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
The acres needed to apply the an 1 ina 1 waste Is based an typical
nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage
requirements may be more or less based on the waste analysis
report from your waste management facility.
The design of your waste management facility Is based on they'
followings

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 24-7
Columbus County
This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)
application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan.
In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you
must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen
from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers.
Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to
be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRR1, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR], SLUR2,
SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ)
compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during
routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an
appropriate enforcement action.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or perrnitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the
DWQ staff at [phone] ext. 571.
