This amendment allows the producer to extend his pumping window on any Bermuda fields through
October 31, 2016. Producer must not exceed PAN rates specified in NUP. The following
modification Is in effect for the 20162017 oversown winter annual crops.
1. This temporary waste utilization plan must be documented by a certified technical spedalist and
records maintained in compliance with the facility's permit.
2. Allow a one year conversion for farms under the 50 Ib/A PAN rate on winter annual cereals oversown
on bermudagrass fields to use the 100 Ib/A PAN rate, which requires a split application window. In this
case, It is suggested that the non -application period — currently November December and January — be
shortened to December and January, allowing waste application to continue into November, and that
this special provision be also permitted for pastured bermuda waste application sites as well as
hayfields. The permittee may also apply up to 75 Ibs of the total 100 lb/A in the fall application window
(before December and January)
3. On row -cropped application sites, the pre -plant application period for PAN on small grains is extended
from the current regulatory 30 days to allow waste applications for 45 days prior to the planting of
wheat or other small grains.
4. On row -cropped application sites, increase the deductible PAN rate for small grain cover crops from the
current 35 Ibs/A to allow 50 Ibs/A to be applied and deducted and waive any restrictions on the species
of winter annual small grain sown as the cover crop.
5. A temporary 25% PAN rate increase for tall fescue hay and pasture. The 25% PAN rate increase is also
extended to farms using winter cereals, pralre grass bromes, or annual ryegrass as a pure stand

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to
reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is
to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be
analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all
plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe
manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are
important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange
capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land
eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be
applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it
is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to
surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be
considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for
crop production and to reduce the potential ,for pollution, the waste should be'applied to a
growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the
waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for
this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from
your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application.
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. .
There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an
agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of
an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the
use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to
secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation,
increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land.
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, climatic conditions, and level
of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other
nutrients.
4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste
may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per
year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG
Standard 393 - Filter Strip).
5 Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated
on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland,
the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season
prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.)
Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff
does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies.
Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.

" WASTEUTILIZATION PLANS y
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
9 Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is
not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage
from animal waste should also be considered.
10 Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a
high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a
minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste
shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking
dormancy.
11 Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following:
The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a
component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary
and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal
waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be
applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
12 • Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landowner.
14 Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands
provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist".
Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water
courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a
manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16 Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall
not be discharged into the animal waste management system.
Page 6

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced as necessary to
protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc.,
are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed
and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of
erosion, leakage or discharge.
18 If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19 Waste handling structures, piping pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be
kept on site.
20 Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct
human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human
consumption it should only be applied pre -plant with no further applications animal waste
during the crop season.
21 Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the
temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be
managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to
mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds.
22 Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually
at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining
element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites
shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.
23
Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

haul, depopulation, herd reduction, etc. For pump & haul and herd reduction options, recalculate new PAN basec
on new information. If new fields are to be included as an option for lowering lagoon level, add these fields to the
PAN balance table and recalculate the overall PAN balance. If animal waste is to be hauled to another permitted
facility, provide information regarding the herd population and lagoon freeboard levels at the receiving facility.
Irrigation onto existing spray fields will continue as weather and field conditions permit. Additional land is
for pumping if needed.
Producer is in the process of adding addition crop land to the NUP. Plans within the next 30days are to plant
Wheat on the adlditional land. An amendment to his NUP, and an update to this POA will be submitted at that
time.

Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping
Animal Waste Management System
Facility Number 31-181
Duplin 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. IRRI, IRR2, DRYI, DRY2, DRY3, SLURI, SLUR2,
SLDI, 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 permitting
requirement.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sonya Avant of the

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN RECEIVED
'AUG 51998
Producer: KENNETH BROWN Non-6iseha;ge Fem:itfing
Location: 143 DOC BROWN RD
ROSE HILL NC 28458
Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: Existing Wean to Feeder Swine
Number of Animals: 3552.00 pigs
(Design Capacity)
STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon
APPLICATION METHOD: Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or
groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops
in the fields where the waste is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient.
Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil
tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be
balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization
plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to
ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply
more nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and
available water holding capacities.
3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than
5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land
eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than
10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate 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.
Paqe: 1

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant
analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied.
Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible
so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific
crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217.adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
3552 pigs x .40 tons waste/pigs/year = 1420.8 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
3552 pigs x .48 lbs PAN/pigs/year = 1704.96 lbs. PAN/year
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.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables 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 269.952 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 1349.76
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 4.4992 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 10.79808 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 application
methods.
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 Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and

Your facility is dosigned for 180.00 days of temporary storage and the
temporary storage must be removed on'the average of once every 6.00
months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored in
your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot
of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
*It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to
ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the
correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. 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 rate prior to applying the waste.
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
Mr. Brown plans to plant coastal hay in the spring of 1999. This hay will
be planted in T-7000, field 2. This is a temporary waste plan showing the crops
in which Mr. Brown is appling his animal nitrogen for the year 1998. Mr. Brown
has additional land in which to apply animal nitrogen. The rates for appling
animal nitrogen to this addition land is as follows:
Wheat - 90/lbs/N/acre
Soybeans - 100/lbs/N/acre
fescue - 190/lbs/N/acre.
This additional land is located within T-7000.

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.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the
producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate
land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does
not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall
provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a
reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for
waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the
facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when
there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of
animals, method of utilization, or available land.
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, climatic conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict
the rate of application for other nutrients.
4— Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons
per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding
at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year
providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves
the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip)
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after
waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is
danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to
flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled
cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or
grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application
does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather
and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil
infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to
surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from
the site during application. No ponding should occur in order
to control odor or flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall events, or when the 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.
Page: 9

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for
spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for
leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be
held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to
take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more
than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking
dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall
comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area
onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of
a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential
property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other
than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than
swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995),
shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters.
(See Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to
wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of
dwellings other than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property
and public right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters,
drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying.
Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided
they have been approved as a land application site by a
"technical specialist".' Animal waste shall not be applied on
grassed waterways that discharges directly into water courses,
and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at
agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from
the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities,
showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the
animal waste management system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be
established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms,

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

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment with minimum odor
control. The time required for the planned fluid level to be
reached may vary due to soil conditions,flushing operations, -and
the amount of fresh water added to the system.
Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable
method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set,
center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be
taken when applying waste to prevent runoff from the field or damage
to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre -
charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during
start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be
covered with effluent at all times.
2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see Attachment B)
before land application._
3. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva-
tion 47.7 as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump=out when
the fluid level reaches elevation 45.7 or before fluid depth is
less than 6'.feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable
bacteria).
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is.

The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject
application. Additional information is required before we can continue our review. Please address and submit
the following information by October 25, 1998:
The Waste Utilization Plan (WUP) lists soybeans and wheat in a two-year rotation as available
crops for waste application. Residual nitrogen left over from the soybean crop in rotation must be
accounted for. Nitrogen application rates to the following corn crop are required to be reduced by
15-30 lb. (dependent on soil type) to account for the residual nitrogen left by the preceding
soybean crop. Please verify and revise your WUP, if necessary, to properly list all application
rates with residual nitrogen incorporated into your cropping scheme.
2. In the narrative section of your waste utilization, you have listed some additional land and optional
crops that may be sprayed on. Please also list the application window for each crop in the narrative.
Please note that all revisions or amendments made to the waste utilization plan (WUP) or a portion
thereof are required to be signed and dated by both the landowner and the Technical Specialist before
they are submitted for review.
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 October 25, 1998 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

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

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant
analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied.
Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible
so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific
crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
3552 pigs x .40 tons waste/pigs/year = 1420.8 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
3552 pigs x .48 lbs PAN/pigs/year = 1704.96 lbs. PAN/year
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.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on
the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

Indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. interplanted) or
winter annuals follow summer annuals.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded
in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing,
hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed
when they reach a height of six to nine inches. Cattle
should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four
inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed
for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small
grain to reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too
high and this will definitely 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
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 mowed to a
height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables 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 269.952 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 1349.76
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 4.4992 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 10.79808 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 application
methods.
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 Tales 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
Page: 6

amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application
rates and amounts.

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 180.00 days of temporary storage and
the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every
6.00 months.. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored
in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one
foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to
ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the
correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. 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 theamount of waste per acre and
the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.

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.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the
producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate
land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does
not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall
provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a
reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for
waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the
facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when
there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of
animals, method of utilization, or available land.
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, climatic conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict
the rate of application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons
per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding
at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per.year
providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves
the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip)
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after
waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is
danger of drift from the irrigation field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to
flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled
cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or
grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application
does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather
and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil
infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to

timing of applications of nutrient fertilizer.
PURPOSE
To supply plant nutrients in amounts
dictated by soil test, or tissue analysis, or
accepted recommendations based on
realistic yield expectations or plant
perfotnnance for an intended use
To minimize excessive nutrient application
while meeting a plant's performance based
requirement for a particular nutrient
To minimize nutrient loss to surface and
ground water.
CONDITIONS WHERE PRACTICE
APPLIES
On lands where nutrients are applied. This
standard applies to management of nutrients
associated with organic waste, commercial
fertilizer, legume crops, and crop residues.
CRITERIA
Fertilizer source, time, and method of
application shall be planned to conform to
seasonal variation in plant uptake needs and
soil profile properties to optimize economic
return and minimize nutrient loss by
leaching or surface transport. Nitrogen or
phosphorous are the most critical nutrients
in planning for water quality.
2. Soil pli affects the availability of nutrients.
Use soil tests to adjust soil pH to the level
best suited for the crops being grown.
University crop production guides and the
North Carolina Agricultural Chemicals
Manual can also be consulted to find this
value.
3. Soil shall be tested every tn%o years. .As

elements wi!1 limit uptake and utilization of
other mare environmentally active nutrients.
Soil testing identifies these yicici limitinp_
deficiencies as well as identifying
imbalances, excesses and levels potential!%
toxic to plants.
4. Zinc and Copper levels in the soils shail be
monno,-eci and alternative crop sites shall be
used when these metals approach excess
levels. Refer to Table 2 in Standard 633 for
threshold levels of these nutrients.
5. All sources and forms of plant nutrients
including carryover from legumes and
animal waste being made available for plant
growth and production shall be considered
in developing a nutrient management plan.
All animal waste products shall be analyzed
by the agronomic division of North Carolina
Department of Agriculture (NCDA) or other
acceptable laboratories and the
recommendations used to develop and
implement a nutrient management program.
Waste shall be tested within 60 days of
utilization. Unless otherwise required

CONSIDERATIONS
Ihis practice can reduce the likelihood
that applied nutrients «-ould pollute
surface or ground water by limiting the
amount applied to only that needed.
Evaluate the vulnerability of
erivironmentaliv sensitive areas and
waters that have been stressed by the
Presence of an over abundance of plant
nutrients.
2. Good tilth enhances water infiltration,
thus reducing nutrient removal through
soil erosion. Also adequate soil water is
necessary for efficient nutr ent use.
Conservation przctices that manage plant.
residues should be considered, i.e.:
Residue Mznarement Nio-till (329)
Residue Management, Seasonal (344)
Cover and Green Manure Crop (340)
Critical Area Planting (342)
Striperopping (585 and 586)
3. Cover crops can be used as scavengers to
take up excess plant nutrients applied in
the previous season to prevent their
movement out of the root zone. Very little
of the scavenged nutrients are available to
the following crop, (usually <15% of the N
taken up). They should be harvested for
maximum benefit.
4. Organic wastes can provide an important
source of nutrients. State and local
regulations, the NRCS Agriculture Waste
Management Field Handbook North
Carolina Cooperative Extension Service
(NCCES) Crop Production Guides, North
Carolina State University (NCSU)
Agricultural Chemical Manual, soil test
and waste analysis reports will provide
guidance conceming waste utilization.
Sources of plant nutrients may include
residual amounts in the soil, crop residues
including legumes, waste products, and
commercial fertilizer. Commercial
�99 .1
fertilizers are those produces wuh a
guaranteed analysis under NorOt Carolina
law
6 Forage plants being used for nnrogcn
uptake should be selected based on their
adaptation to the soil. Plants not adapted
to a site will have a short lift, and
maintaining a vigorous stand will be
difficult.
Plant tissue samples should be taken to
evaluate nutrient status and to support the
need for additional nutrient zophcauons.
S- Excessive concentrations of one or more
nutrients may induce deficiencies. Soil
pH.should be maintained in the on-unum
range for -each crop to improve
availability of soil and applied nutrients
and to minimize the release of potentially
toxic elements.
C Factors from RUSLE can be more
effective in controlling water runoff than
LS and P Factors. C Factors effect root
distribution, soil temperature and a host
of other variables. Numerically low C
Factors buffer yields from climatic
variations most likely by improving
moist,Te status in the soil. The same C
Factors can increase the likelihood of
leaching losses. Consider the
environmental impact from increased
leaching.
10. Consider waste storage and treatment
needs to meet application timing as well
as land area requirements for proper waste
utilization.
11. Water table management through
controlled drainage reduces the movement
of nutrients by reducing total outflow
from a managed area and it also promotes
denitrification.
MRCS, NC

12 Riparian buffers are very effective in
trapping subsurface nitrate entering a
stream and exen sediment, but much less
effective in trapping runoff of soluble
Phosphorus . Filter strips and grassed
watenvays have little N retention
capacity. Grassed watenvays do little to
reduce nutrients and sediments lost from
fields. Based on the most likely pollutant
sources for a site, consider specific
practices which are most likely to reduce
offsite movement of those pollutants.
13. Loss of ninaeen from the soil is
dependent upon climate, soil, and
fertilizer application program. Normally,
with adequate soil moisture, nitrogen loss
potential can be reduced by applying
nitrogen fertilizer close to the time of
greatest crop demand. Split applications
may be needed to accomplish this.
Ammonium forms are taken up by plants
in significant amounts as nitrate within
days after application for most crops.
PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS
Establish realistic yield goals based on soil
map -touts and the Soil Interpretation
Records, or historical yield data, or compute
by crop and soil combination the mean yield
of the three highest yields of the last five
consecutive crops.
2. Develop a nutrient management plan for the
crops to be grown. Account for the residual
amount of nutrients in the soil and crop
residue, including legumes add estimated
nutrients from anticipated organic waste
applications, and then determine the amount
of fertilizer needed to meet the nutrient
needs of the proposed crop and target yield.
Specify the crop, crop rotation, and kind,
source, application time and amount of plant
nutrients that will be used to meet the crop
fertility needs. Identify the priority nutrient
or nutrients.
If non -farm organic waste is to be used, it

Used in Wasic AAanaoernent
The following is a four -page sununary of suggcstions for "Gnagemenl practices for some
forage crops that can be used in waste managerent plans. 'These suggestions are a result of
discussions within the NC State University Forage Production Workgroup, a group cornprised
of ;NC State faculty and iNRCS agency personnel with expertise with the crops.
There are limited documented research responses of some of thse 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 (he 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, [he Forage Production Workgroup will make
appropriate changes.
Bermuda Overseeded With Cereal Rye and Annual Ryegrass
Currently two types of "ryegrass" are being used for winter ovcrseeding in fields used for
animal waste management. Cereal r), is a winter annual smallgrain that looks similar to
wheat, barley and oats. is a winter annual grass that looks much like tall
fescue. Both of these grasses, when growing duruig the winter on bermuda sod, can have
significant impact on subsequent bermuda yields. In effect, [he 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.

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 tittles the rate for drilled seeds. The last
application of an mal 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 barvest 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 MRCS Technical Standard 4590.

detrimental to the survival of gamaigr,,ss. Gamagrass should not normally be harvested or
*razed below 6-8 inches stubble.
Application rates are to be based on the realistic N rates that address the N needs per [on 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 4590.
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. Garrtagrass 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-Jurre and
September -November. It should receive most of its N during t}re September -October and late
February through May months. Limited data are available for realistic yields of rescuegrass
on various Soils and a[ various N levels in Nonb 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.

Dear Mr. Brown:
On November 4, 1997, staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of
Water Quality inspected your animal operation and the lagoon(s) serving this operation. It was
observed that waste has been applied to crops which are not listed in the certified animal waste
management plan.
USDA-NRCS guidelines require that all crops to be planted in the spray fields be listed
in the certified animal waste management plan. To connect this situation, the appropriate crops,
as designated by the certified plan, should be planted in the spray fields or the certified plan
should be amended to include the current crops. Waste application to these spray fields should
be discontinued until the situation can be corrected. In addition, as was discussed at the time of
the inspection, the inner dike walls of the lagoon should be mowed, and all erosion areas on the
inner dike wall should be filled with a suitable clay material, compacted and reseeded with an
appropriate vegetative cover. We suggest that you contact your service company, local NRCS
or Soil and Water District office for any assistance they may be able to provide to correct the
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,
requiring it to obtain an individual non discharge permit.

Dear Mr. Brown:
. On July 7, 1995 staff from the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Environmental
Management inspected your animal operation and the lagoon serving this operation. It was observed that
the lagoon had only 12 inches of freeboard.
The following corrective actions should be taken: NRCS guidelines for Best Management Practices
require that animal operations maintain at least one foot of freeboard plus additional storage to contain the
rainfall from a 25 year 24 hour storm event. This totals approximately 19" of required lagoon freeboard.
Your lagoon should be pumped down and spray irrigated on a suitable cover crop to maintain at least 19"
of freeboard. NRCS guidelines also require that a cover crop be planted within 30 days after spraying on
bare soil.
To remain a deemed permitted facility, all corrective actions must be made within seven (7) days.
Failure to do so may result in the facility losing its deemed permitted status, requiring a certified waste
management plan and certification form for the facility to be submitted prior to the December 31, 1997
deadline, and being required to obtain an individual non discharge permit for the facility.
Please be aware it is a violation of North Carolina General Statutes to discharge wastewater to the
surface waters of the State without a permit. The Division of Environmental Management has the authority
to levy a civil penalty of not more than $10,000 per day per violation.

Dear Mr. Brown:
This is to inform you that your completed registration form required by the recently
modified nondischarge rule has been received by the Division of Environmental Management
(DEM), Water Quality Section.
On December 10, 1992 the Environmental Management Commission adopted a water
quality rule which governs animal waste management systems. The goal of the rule is for
animal operations to be managed such that animal waste is not discharged to surface waters
of the state. The rule allows animal waste systems to be "deemed permitted" if certain
minimum criteria are met (15A NCAC 2H .0217). By submitting this registration you have
met one of the criteria for being deemed permitted
We would like to remind you that existing feedlots which meet the size thresholds
listed in the rule, and any new or expanded feedlots constructed between February 1, 1993
and December 31, 1993 must submit a signed certification form (copy enclosed) to DEM by
December 31, 1997. New or expanded feedlots constructed after December 31, 1993 must
obtain signed certification before animals are stocked on the farm. Certification of an
approved animal waste management plan can be obtained after the Soil and Water
Conservation Commission adopts rules later this year.
We appreciate you providing us with this information. If you have any question about
the new nondischarge rule, please contact David Harding at [phone].
Sincerely,
Steve Tedder, Chief
