Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be lirrliting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied. Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, went spray fields should not be used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should betaken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streamns and lakes, phosphorous is a concem. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

Available storage capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero. Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less It= or equal to the design storage capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet acctmtulated. If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumtilated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure:. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structurds temporary storage capacity.

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, helshe 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 ate, 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 ernpland. 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). 157139 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 6/4/2007 Specification Page 1 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. S. 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. 157139 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 6/4/2007 Specification Pa;-e 2 16.

Increase the seeding rate by 10°/o when planting no -till. Phosphorus and potassium recommended by a soil test can be broadcast or banded at planting_ When planting early in cool, wet soil, banded phosphorus will be more available to the young plants_ An accepted practice is to apply 20-30 lbs/acre N and 20-30 lbs/acre phosphorus banded as a starter and one-half the remaining N behind the planter_ The rest of the N should be applied about 30-40 days after emergence. The total amount of is dependent on soil type. When including a starter in the fertilizer program, the recommended potassium and any additional phosphorus is normally broadcast at planting_ Plant samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status of the corn. Timely management of weeds and insects are essential for corn production. The following crop note applies to field(s): p6a, p6b, p6c Fescue: Coastal Plain:, Mineral Soil, Poorly Drained to Somewhat Poorly Drained. Adaptation_ Moderate to Marginal. In the Coastal Plain, tall fescue can be planted Sept. 1 to Oct_ 15 (best) and Feb. 15 to Mar_ 20. For pure -stand broadcast seedings use 20 to 30 lb/ac_, for drilled use 15 to 20 lb/ac. seed.

Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent At clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied Sites 1n1>st first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should betaken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to stress and lakes, phosphorous is a canoes Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a Concern.

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, bat 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 find {see USDA, NRCS Field Olfice 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 da mWr 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). 157139 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 6/4/2007 5vecification Pape 1 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to egged the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur oMite 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. S. 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. Wastelnutrient 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.

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 aoulied 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. 157134 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed.: 6/4/2007 Specification Page 2 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}. 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. 1f 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 19. Waste handling structures, pipings 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 am storage volume for waste storage ponds. 157139 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 6/4/2007 Specification Page 3 22. Waste shall be tested within 64 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.

Plant populations should be determined by the hybrid being planted_ Increase the seeding rare by 100/ewhen planting no -dill. Phosphorus and potassium recommended by a soil test can be broadcast or banded at planting- When planting early in cool, wet soil, banded phosphorus will be more available to the young plants. An accepted practice is to apply 20-30 lbs/acre N and 20-30 lbs/acre phosphorus banded as a starter and one-half the remaining N behind the planter. Tile rest of the N should be applied about 3& 40 days after emergence. The total amount of N is dependent on soil type. When including a starter in the fertilizer program, the recommended potassium and any additional phosphorus is normally broadcast at planting. Plant samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the overall mdrient status of the cam. Timely management of weeds and insects are essential for corn production.

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for sludge utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for each source, the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates shown in the second column. Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied. Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

The start date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero. Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design storage capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated. If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------•------ 407539 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 1/14/2005 Specification Page 1 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. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- 407539 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 1/14/2005 Specification Page 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. 407539 Database Version 3.1 ------------------------ -- -- - Date Printed: 1/14/2005 Specification Page 3 Crop Notes The following crop note applies to field(s): 3a, 3b, 3c Corn: CP, Mineral Soil, medium leaching In the Coastal Plain, corn is normally planted when soil temperatures reach 52 to 55 degrees fahrenheit.

Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit. In accordance with your application received on February 18, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Charles Atkinson, 'authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS310605 which expired on April 30, 2003. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Charles Atkinson Hog Farm, located in Duplin County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 2420 Feeder to Finish 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 October 1, 2004. 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. If your Waste: Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed. The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property. �.

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 S. 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. r 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.) 2420 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 4598 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 2420 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 5566 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.

Waste application may begin up to thirty(30) days prior to planting or green -up of forages, and extend past optimum dates shown if plant growth, pumping conditions, and PAN loading rates permit. 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 895.4 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 4477 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 14.9233333333 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 35.816 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 Page: 7 ANIMA14 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 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. Tract 5987 Field Soil Type Crop Application Rate . (in/hr) Applic.

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. Page: 8 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 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. Atkinson may also pump on Tract!##5992, Field 3, on an as needed basis. He will use the following rates for Bermuda Pasture (4.5 Yield, lbs AW N per Acre 225, total wettable acres is 1.5) overseeded with small grain at 50#1s N per acre, dates are from + April - Sept. Page: 9 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) S. 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: 10 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 ditchYor 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. 15. 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.). 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. Page: 11 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 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 soils shall be monitored 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.

Only the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your plan. An evaluation by Scott Faircloth on 12/6/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X". Category 1: ❑ The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Scott Faircloth the necessary information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre determination.. Please submit this information to Scott Faircloth, at 127 Cardinal Drive Extension, Wilmington, NC 28405-3845, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any questions please contact Scott Faircloth at (910) 395-3900. If within 90 days you are unable to provide Scott Faircloth with the information you are automatically required to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2 below, within 180 days of receipt of this letter. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone 919-733-5083 Fax 919-715-6048 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% r"ycled/10% post -consumer paper Notification for Wettable Acre Determination Animal Waste Management System Page 2 Category 2: Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C.

On August 11, 2000, Mr. Stonewall Mathis of the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality inspected your animal operation and the animal waste management system serving this operation. During the inspection, Mr. Mathis observed the following: • Non-bermuda vegetation needs to be eliminated from Field 2 and Field 5 which are designated as bermuda in the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). This is a violation of Part 11. Operation and Maintenance Requirements, Section 2 of the General Permit which requires that a vegetative cover shall be maintained on all land application fields and buffers in accordance � —� with the CAWMP. l 1 Non -fescue vegetation needs to be eliminated from Field 6 which is designated as 0 fescue pasture in the CAWMP. This is a violation of Part II(2) of the General Permit_ 127 North Cardinal Dr., Wilmington, North Carolina 28405 Telephone 910-395-3900 FAX 910-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Mr. Charles Atkinson September 8, 2000 Page Two Field 4 is designated as fescue pasture in the CAWMP. However,. the field has not yet completely been cleared and the fescue pasture crop has not yet been established. This is a violation of Part H(2) of the General Permit. Clearing of this field should be completed and a crop should be established in accordance with the CAWMP immediately. • Control and maintenance of vegetative growth on the inner and outer dike walls of the lagoon is needed. This is a violation of Part I1(10) of the General Permit which requires that lagoon areas shall be accessible, and vegetation shall be kept mowed. • Your records were not:being maintained in an orderly fashion. This is a violation of Part I. Performance Standards, Section 4 of the General Permit which requires that records shall be maintained in an orderly fashion. • Waste analysis need to be taken more frequently. This is a violation of Part III. Monitoring and Reporting Requirements, Section 4 of the General Permit which requires that an analysis of the animal waste shall be conducted as close to the time of application as practical and at least within 60 days of the date of application. Weekly freeboard records were not being kept. This is a violation of Part 111(2) of the General Permit which requires that waste lagoon levels shall be recorded weekly. You need to implement a program by which the freeboard records are recorded weekly. 8 Insect and odor control checklists were not available for inspection. You need to obtain these checklists, complete them, and keep them with the records for your facility. C` Copies of the General Permit and Certificate of Coverage were not available. I l am enclosing a copy of your Certificate of Coverage and a copy of the General Permit with this letter. These need to be kept with the records for your facility. �i • A floatation device needs to be placed on the intake of your land application system to ensure that the intake is near the liquid surface of the lagoon.. This will allow for decreased odors and less nutrient application when land applying waste. It was indicated that you share a travelling gun with another grower. I advise that you consider having sole access to your own land application equipment in order to perform responsible land application of waste without the potential burden of another needing the equipment when you need it. Mr. Charles Atkinson September S, 2000 Page Three Please submit a Plan of Action which addresses the noted deficiencies and items above. The Plan of Action should include a list of any and all actions that have been and will be taken to correct the noted deficiencies and items and prevent their recurrence. The Plan of Action must be submitted within 10 days of receipt of this notice. Be advised that the Division of Water Quality may pursue further enforcement actions in these matters including Notice of Violation, civil penalties, injunctive relief, and permit revocation.

On August 11, 2000, Mr. Stonewall Mathis of the Wilmington Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality inspected your animal operation and the animal waste management system serving this operation. During the inspection, Mr. Mathis observed the following: Non-bermuda vegetation needs to be eliminated from Field 2 and Field 5 which are designated as bermuda in the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). This is a violation of Part II. Operation and Maintenance Requirements, Section 2 of the General Permit which requires that a vegetative cover shall be maintained on all land application Fields and buffers in accordance with the CAWMP. Non -fescue vegetation needs to be eliminated from Field 6 which is designated as fescue pasture in the CAWMP. This is a violation of Part H(2) of the General Permit. 127 North Cardinal Dr., Wilmington, North CaroIina•29405 Telephone 910-395-3900 FAX 910-350-2004 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Mr. Charles Atkinson September 8, 2000 Page Two Field 4 is designated as fescue pasture in the CAWMP. However, the field has not yet completely been cleared and the fescue pasture crop has not yet been established. This is a violation of Part II(2) of the General Permit. Clearing of this field should be completed and a crop should be established in accordance with the CAWMP immediately. Control and maintenance of vegetative growth on the inner and outer dike walls of the lagoon is needed. This is a violation of Part II(1.0) of the General Permit which requires that lagoon areas shall be accessible, and vegetation shall be kept mowed. Your records were not being maintained in an orderly fashion. This is a violation of Part I. Performance Standards, Section 4 of the General Permit which requires that records shall be maintained in an orderly fashion. Waste analysis need to be taken more frequently. This is a violation of Part III. Monitoring and Reporting Requirements, Section 4 of the General Permit which requires that an analysis of the animal waste shall be conducted as close to the time of application as practical and at least within 60 days of the date of application. Weekly freeboard records were not being kept. This is a violation of Part III(2) of the General Permit which requires that waste lagoon levels shall be recorded weekly. You need to implement a program by which the freeboard records are recorded weekly. • Insect and odor control checklists were not available for inspection. You need to obtain these checklists, complete them, and keep them with the records for your facility. • Copies of the General Permit and Certificate of Coverage were not available. I am enclosing a copy of your Certificate of Coverage and a copy of the General Permit with this letter. These need to be kept with the records for your facility. + A floatation device needs to be placed on the intake of your land. application system to ensure that the intake is near the liquid surface of the lagoon. This will allow for decreased odors and less nutrient application when land applying waste. • It was indicated that you share a travelling gun with another grower. I advise that you consider having sole access to your own land application equipment in order to perform responsible land application of waste without the potential burden of another needing the equipment when you need it. Mr. Charles Atkinson September 8, 2000 Paae Three Please submit a Plan of Action which addresses the noted deficiencies and items above. The Plan of Action should include a list of any and all actions that have been and will be taken to correct the noted deficiencies and items and prevent their recurrence. The Plan of Action must be submitted within 10 days of receipt of this notice. Be advised that the Division of Water Quality may pursue further enforcement actions in these matters including Notice of Violation, civil penalties, injunctive relief, and permit revocation.

The Permittee shall designate a certified animal waste management system operator to be in charge. (OIC) of the animal waste management system. The animal waste management system shall be operated by.the OIC or a person -under the OIC'.s supervision. 3. The maximum waste -level in lagoons/storage ponds shall not.exceed that specified in the CAWMP. At a minimum, maximum waste "level .for lagoonslstorage ponds must not exceed the level that -provides adequate storage to contain the 25-year, 24-hour storm event plus an additional .1 foot of structural freeboard. 'In addition to -the above requirements, for new and expanding farms with lagoon designs completed after September 1, 1996, storage must also be provided for the heavy rainfall factor for lagoons without an outside drainage area. In the case of lagoons/storage ponds in series that are gravity fed, the 25 year, 24-hour storm event and/or the heavy rainfall factor storage requirements for the system may"be designed into the lowest Iagoon/storage pond in the system. However, adequate freeboard must be designed into each of the upper lagoons/storage ponds to allow sufficient storage to prevent the waste level from raising into the structural freeboard while the storm water -is draining into the lowest lagoon in the system. 5 4. Should the DWQ have good reason to believe that any activities conducted pursuant to this permit may cause or contribute any waste, directly or indirectly, to be intermixed with the waters of the State, the DWQ may require any monitoring (including but not limited to groundwater, surface water, animal waste, sludge, soil and plant tissue) necessary to determine the source, quantity, quality, and effect of such waste upon the waters of the State. Such monitoring, including its scope, frequency, duration and any sampling, testing, and reporting systems, shall meet all applicable Environmental Management Commission requirements. "Good Reason" may be based on the findings of a related Federal, State, Commission or DENR authorized study or report, or other evidence showing that violations of State water quality standards or other applicable environmental standards have occurred or may occur. 5. . Failure to abide by -the conditions and limitations contained in this permit, the facility's CAWMP and/or . any COC issued under this permit may subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the DWQ in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes and may include the requirement to obtain an individual non -discharge permit and/or the modification of the animal waste management system 6. The issuance of a COC under this permit does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances (local, state, and federal). 7. if animal production ceases, -the Permittee shall close the lagoons/storage ponds in accordance with Natural Resource Conservation Service (MRCS) lagoon/storage pond closure standards or develop and implement an animal waste management plan in accordance with MRCS standards. Closure shall also include notifying the DWQ and submittal of the Animal Waste Storage Pond and Lagoon Closure Report Form to DV4'Q- Water Quality Section- Non Discharge Branch within.415 days of completion of closure- S. The annual permit fee shall be paid by the Permittee within thirty (30) days.after being billed by the Division. -Failure to pay -the fee accordingly constitutes grounds .for revocation of the COC granting coverage under this General Permit. 9_ Failure of the Permittee to maintain, in full force -and effect, lessee .and landowner agreements which are required in the CAWMP, shall constitute grounds for revocation of the COC granting coverage under this General Permit. .10. 'This permit -allows for the distribution of manure up to .4 cubic _yards per visit to individuals for personal use. 0 11. The Groundwater Compliance Boundary for the disposal system constructed after December 31, 1983, is established at either (1) 250 feet from the waste structures and from the waste disposal area, or (2) 50 feet within the property boundary, whichever is closest to the waste structures and the waste disposal area. If this facility was constructed prior to December 31, 1983, the Compliance Boundary is established at either (1) 500 feet from the waste disposal area, or (2) at the property boundary, whichever is closest to the waste disposal area An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to the requirements of 15A NCAC 2L and the Division in addition to the penalty provisions applicable under the North Carolina General Statutes.

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 DW4 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.) 2420 hogs x 1.9 tons waste/hogs/year = 4598 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 2420 hogs x 2.3 lbs PAN/hogs/year = 5566 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.

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 895.4 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 4477 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 14.9233333333 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 35.816 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 Page: 7 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 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. Atkinson may also pump on Tract #5992, Field 3, on an as needed basis. He will use the following rates for Bermuda Pasture (4.5 Yield, lbs AW N per Acre 225, total wettable acres is 1.5) overseeded with small grain at 50#1s N per acre, dates are from + April - Sept. , Page: 9 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 Norttr 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. B. 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: 10 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 washdov3n 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.). 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. Page: 11 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 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 soils shall be monitored 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 Carclina regulations.

Instructions on reverse side. 2. Attach additional sheets as needed. Date /,�_ ao - j- Date INSTRUCTIONS All dams built with technical assistance from the Soil Conservation Service must have a hazard classification assigned by the person responsible for approving the design. Most farm ponds, except in borderline cases, can be classified after a complete field investigation without assuming failure and making breach studies. This data sheet is to be used for recording the information obtained through field studies and for documenting the hazard classification. Where there is a possibility for loss of life or major property damage from a dam failure, an approved breach routing procedure is to be used. (Consult with the area engineer.) Hazard classifications of daris are made by evaluating the possibility for loss of life and the extent of damage that would result if the dam should suddenly breach --that is --a section of the dam be suddenly and completely washed out. It is to be assumed that a wall of water will be released equal to the height of the dam. This flood wave will be reduced in height as it moves down the flood plain. The wave height (depth of flooding) should be evaluated for a sufficient distance downstream until the estimated flood level will not cause significant damage to improvements, such as homes, buildings, roads, utilities, reservoirs, etc. The breach flood level will be reduced depending on the valley storage, slope, and openess of the flood plain; however, in a narrow steep valley slopes :steeper than 10% should be given special consideration. One method of evaluation is to compare available valley storage (under flood conditions) to impoundment storage (figured to'the top of the'dam) for each reach evaluated with a judgment estimate made of the flood wave height at all critical points downstream. Should there be any questions about the hazard classification for a dam, the area engineer should be consulted before making design commitments. -I' ®®zC�' r�■iiiiir��� ter:: :. ....r� ee r �„■ C r w a■i■■■ �u �yJ ■ r r■r■■ ■,■ w� ■ ■i��f I,lrmIuj ■l u ■ • .iulif.a�i�.■�i !� •••®^w�^'C my.

SIGNATURE-4 -------- DATEJ'�= —!5 ----- Page 3 J System Calibration Information presented in manufacturer's charts are based on average operation conditions with relatively new equipment. Discharge rates and application rates change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. in particular, pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use, nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter. You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the application uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application uniformity. For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to ensure'proper application, rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because they already have a graduated sca'e from which to read the application amount without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross section can be used provided the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring. For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly throughout the application area at several distances -from sprinklers. For traveling guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both sides of the gun cart. You should compute the average application rate for all nonuniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation dealer or technical specialist for assistance. `Reprinted for Certification Training for Operations of Animal Waste Management Systems Manual EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN Using this outline as guidance, you should develop a specific emergency action plan for your waste handling system. This. plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking, overflowing, or running off the site: You should NOT wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be available to all employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and breaks could happen at any time. Your plan should follow this format: 1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested responses to problems are listed below: a. Lagoon overflow —possible solutions are: add soil to berm to temporarily increase elevation of darn —any permanent alteration of the dam should be approved by a qualified technical specialist pump wastes to field at an acceptable rate stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waterers) —hold waste in house if possible call a pumping contractor make sure no surface water is entering lagoon NOTE: These activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the temporary storage level. b. Runoff from waste application field —actions include: immediately stop waste application create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field incorporate waste to reduce further runoff C. Leakage from the waste distribution system: pipes and sprinklers —actions include: — stop recycle (flushing system) pump — stop irrigation pump — close valves to eliminate further discharge — separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow flush system, houses, solids separators —actions include: stop recycle (flushing system) pump — stop irrigation pump — make sure no siphon effect has been created separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow d. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often these are seepage as opposed to flowing leaks —possible action*: dig a small well -or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back into lagoon if holes are caused by burrowing animals,trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil *Lagoon problems require the consultation of an individual experienced in the design and installation of lagoons for permanent repair measures. 2 Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages. a. Did the waste reach any surface waters? b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration? C. Any damage notes, such as employee injury,fish kills, or property damage? Contact appropriate agencies. a. During normal business hours, call your DEM regional office, at 910-395-3900, after hours, emergency number: 919-733-3942. Your phone call should include: your name, facility, telephone number, the details of incident from item 2 above, the exact location of the facility, and the location or direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind conditions, what corrective measures have been under taken, and the seriousness of the situation. b. If spill leaves, or is likely to leave, property or enters surface waters, call local emergency management services (EMS) at 910-296- 2160. C. Instruct EMS to contact local Health Department. d. Contact local Soil and Water Conservation District Natural Resources Conservation Service office at 910-296-2121, and Cooperative Extension Service at 910-296-2143for advice/technical assistance. e. If you are a contract swine grower associated with a swine company integrator, contact the company representative. 4. Implement procedures as advised by DEM and technical assistance agencies to rectify the damage, repair the system, and reassess the waste management plan to keep problems with release, of wastes from happening again.

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, SLUR1, SLUR2, SLD l , 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 DWQ staff at (919) 733-5083 ext. 571. Z'4 /� 4:�� Kerr T.

See the map for the approximate location of each area. Please see that attached CPA-026E for an explanation of each symbol. The acres beside each classification is approximate and should not be used as accurate acreages without a survey. This determination is only for the area delineated on the attached map. If you plan to clear more acreage that shown on the map, you should request another wetland determination for the area. In most cases, if wetlands are present, the wetland area has been flagged on the ground and you should follow the flags in trying to delineate .your wetlands. The map is only an approximate representation of what was flagged on the ground. You may wish to have the wetlands surveyed for future reference and to avoid unintentional disturbance of the wetlands. Any areas marked NI on the attached map have not been evaluated for wetlands and should not be altered prior to having a wetland evaluation performed on these areas. This determination has the concurrence of US Army Corp of Engineers for purposes of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Prior Department of the Army permit authorization will be required for any discharge of excavated or fill material into waters or wetlands on this property. A permit is not required for work restricted entirely to high ground. For project -specific Department of the Army permit requirements concerning your proposal, please contact Mickey Sugg at 910-251-4811. Please use Action ID _ _ when referring to permits associated with wetlands identified by this letter. If you have any questions concerning this determination please contact me. Also, if you disagree with this determination, you have the right to appeal. Under the appeals process, your preliminary technical determination will become final within 30 days of your receipt of this letter Unless you request either of the following options: 1. You may request a field visit by our office to review with you the basis of our preliminary technical determination, answer any questions you have concerning the determination, and to gather additional information from you concerning this determination. 2. You may request that mediation be used in an attempt to settle your concerns with preliminary determination. If you choose mediation, please inform our office so that we can make appropriate arrangements for participating in your mediation session. We can also provide you with a list of trained mediators. Mediation is a process in which a trained, impartial person, la neutral mediator) helps look at mutual problems, identify and consider options, and determine if we can agree on a solution. Unlike an appeal, mediation is private, confidential, and informal. The -mediator will help you work together to evaluate the information in your case and to identify alternatives that will assist us in resolving the dispute. The mediator has no decision making authority. Unlike the appeals process, a mediator cannot decide what is "right" or "make" anyone do anything.

I (we) understand the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste management plan for the farm named above and will implement these procedures. I (we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and storage system or construction of new facilities will require a new certification to be submitted to the Division of Environmental Management before the new animals are stocked. I (we) understand that there must be no discharge of animal waste from the storage or application system to surface waters of the state either directly through a man-made conveyance or from a storm event less severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm and there must not be run-off from the application of animal waste. _I (we) understand that run-off of pollutants from lounging and heavy use areas must be minimized using technical standards developed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The approved plan will be filed at the farm and at the office of the local Soil and -Water Conservation District.

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 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 wastd 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 impc_;_-ant as they have different infilitration rates, leaching potentials, .tic: e.<cha__ge capacities, and available water holding capacities. _lyc..maLly waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre- cautions, waste mav_ he to land eroding at up to 10 tons Der acre per year. Do not -,-:ass ,e on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the -cozen. Either of these conditions may r`su t -..

Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on was:�e-apclication through irrigation for this is the manner in which vou ?-yve chosen to apply your waste. 1f you choose to inject the waE-te in the future, you need to revise this plan.

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 reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e. April or May) . Shadin a may result if sma1-l- grain gets too high and this will definiziely interfere w..—th the 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 tires 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. ** Acreage figures may e:{cet-_d total acreage in fields due to overseeding. lbs AW N (animal waste nitrogen) equals total required nitrogen less -any commercial nwt.rogen (COMM N) supplied. _ WASTE UTILIZATION: '-,-J PAGE 5 :e following legend explains the crop codes used in tables 1 and 2 above: LBS N CROP CODE CROP UNITS PER UNIT BH HYBRID BERMUDAGRASS-HAY TONS 50 BP HYBRID BERMUDAGRASS-PASTURE TONS 50 SG SMALL GRAIN OVERSEEDED AC 50 TABLE 1 TABLE. 2 TOTAL TOTALS FROM TABLES 1 AND 2 C 18.3 5838.5 CI] 18.

WASTE UTILIZATION F __ PAGE 6 e r. ,nap showing the fields to be used for the utilization of APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION -irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of e soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. his 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. 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 waste being stored in your structure be within 1.7 feet of the top of the dike. 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 amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

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 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 has owns or has long term access to adequate land to properly dispose of 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 with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the -ife exNvccancy of the production facility. It is the responsibi-!ity of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste ULzlization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or availahle 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 =and that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an %I-ernazive Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the scil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year -=nd appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves t,�e field. These filter strips will be in addition ---o "=.:_=a s" required by DEM. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter- SF--ips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers;- 5. Odors can be reduced by injectina the waste or disking after waste application. Waste shouldrnoc be applied when the wind .is blowing. &. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorperazed on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied co conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be brcadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the NRCS Technical Reference - E.,v.ronment file 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 %-`rich does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to. control conditions conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application. 3. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen_ 3. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. WASTE UTILIZATION ,AN 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 a 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 to annlied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than these 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 wasters, 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 should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge into water courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the application causes no runoff, or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industr-al 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 -U•erating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, v_-hour storm event in addition to one (1) foot mandator;-reeboard. 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 imple- menting 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.

It is especially important to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and wet periods. Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for bermudagrass) or when there are extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm season in the summertime. This means that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winter/early spring, irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage space available in the lagoon for future wet periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage. Every effort should be made to maintain the lagoon, close to the minimum liquid level as long as the weather and waste utilization plan will` allow it. Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capacity before starting to irrigate does not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods. Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of state law and subject to penalty action. The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following: Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam. Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fertilizer applied should be based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or equivalent. Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled. This may be done by mowing, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of these practices. This should be done at least once a year and possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for heavy vegetative growth. NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by spraying, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating the waste. Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be checked should include, as a minimum, the following: Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes —look for: 1. separation of joints 2. cracks or breaks 3. accumulation of salts or minerals 4. overall conditicn of pipes Lagoon surface —look for: 1. undesirable vegetative growth 2. floating or lodged debris Embankment —look for: 1. settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes 2. side slope stability —slumps or bulges 3. wet or damp areas on the back slope 4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action 5. rodent damage Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam. A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewalI, baffles in the lagoon may be used to reduce the wave impacts. Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your lagoon has any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary fix if there is a threat of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless recommended by an appropriate technical expert. Transfer Pumps —check for proper operation of: 1. recycling pumps 2. irrigation pumps Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or replacement. NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your pumping system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full lagoon is not the time to think about switching, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full, your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare parts or pumps. Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing (washing) system pipes and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly. You should inspect your diversion system for the following: i . adequate vegetation 2.. diversion capacity 3. ridge berm height Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts. You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount (you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in planning irrigation applications and storage. If your lagoon rises excessively, you may have an inflow problem from a surface water diversion or there may be seepage into the lagoon from the surrounding land. Lagoon Operation Startup: i. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soil surfaces to avoid erosion. 2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes. 3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe extender on the end of the pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon during initial filling or another means of slowing the incoming water to avoid erosion of the lining. 4. When possible, begin loading new lagoons in the spring to maximize . bacterial establishment (due to warmer weather). 5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy working swine lagoon in the amount of 0.25 percent of the full lagoon liquid volume. This seeding should occour at least two weeks prior to the addition of wastewater. 6. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. If the pH falls below 7.0, add agricultural lire at the rate of ] pound per 1000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid volume until the pH rises above 7.0. Optimum lagoon liquid pH is between 7.5 and 8.0. 7. A dark color, lack of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate biological activity. Consultation with a technical specialist is recommended if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm season. Loading: The more frequently and regularly that wastewater is added to a lagoon, the better the lagoon will function. Flush systems that wash waste into the lagoon several times daily are optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, in which one or more buildings are drained and recharged each day, also work well.. Management: Practice water conservation —minimize building water usage and spillage from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenance and water conservation. Minimize feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This will reduce the amount of solids entering the lagoon Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and the full temporary storage level. Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to show the minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid lever (Figure 2-1). Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on nutrient requirements and soil moisture so that temporary storage will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly, irrigate in the late summer/early fall to provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter. The lagoon liquid level Should never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest point of the dam or embankment. Do not pump the lagoon liquid level lower that the permanent storage level unless you are removing sludge. Locate float pump intakes approximately 18 inches underneath the liquid surface and as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible. Prevent additions of bedding materials, long-stemmed forage or vegetation, molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign materials into the lagoon. Frequently- remove solids from catch basins at end of confinement houses or wherever they are installed. Maintain strict vegetation, roder:t, and varmint control near lagoon edges. Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment. Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge storage capacity is full or before it fills 50 percent of the permanent storage volume. If animal production is to be terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a closure plan to eliminate the possibility of a pollutant discharge. Sludge Removal: Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by: proper lagoon sizing, mechanical solids separation of flushed waste, gravity settling of flushed waste solids in an appropriately designed basin, or minimizing feed wastage and spillage. Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will: have more nutrients, have more odor, and require more land to properly use the nutrients. Removal techniques: Hire a custom applicator. Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland; and soil incorporate. Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland; mix remaining sludge; pump into liquid sludge applicator; haul and spread onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate. Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm an area beside lagoon to receive the sludge so that liquids can drain back into lagoon; allow sludge to dewater; haul and spread with manure spreader onto cropland or forageland; and soil incorporate. Regardless of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for waste constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain different nutrient and metal values from the liquid. The application of the sludge to fields will be limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste applications to that field and crop requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3. When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be removed without liner injury. If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as possible. Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher phosphorus and heavy metal content than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land with low phosphorus and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphores, it should be applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other wastes, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value. The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at the waste application site. Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which could increase the concern of neighbors. Possible -Causes of Lagoon Failure Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types of failures include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for ensuring structure safety. items which -may lead to lagoon failures include: Modification of the lagoon structure —an example is the placement of a pipe in the dam without proper design and construction. (Consult an expert in lagoon design before placing any pipes in dams.) Lagoon liquid levels —high levels are a safety risk. Failure to inspect and maintain the dam. Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon. Liner integrity —protect from inlet pipe scouring, damage during sludge removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater table. NOTE: If lagoon water is allowed to avertop the dam, the moving water will soon cause gullies to form in the dam. Once this damage starts, it can quickly cause a large discharge of wastewater and possible dam failure. EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN Using this outline as guidance, you should develop a specific emergency action plan for your waste handling system. This, plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking, overflowing, or running off the site: You should NOT wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be available to all employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and breaks could happen at any time. Your plan should follow this format: Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested responses to problems are listed below: a. Lagoon overflow —possible solutions are: add soil to berm to temporarily increase elevation of dam —any permanent alteration of the dam should be approved by a qualified technical specialist pump wastes to field at an acceptable rate stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waterers) —hold waste in house if possible call a pumping contractor make sure no surface water is entering lagoon NOTE: These activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the temporary storage level. b. Runoff from waste application field —actions include: immediately stop waste application create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field incorporate waste to reduce further runoff C. Leakage from the waste distribution system: pipes and sprinklers —actions include: — stop recycle (flushing system) pump — stop irrigation pump — close valves to eliminate further discharge — separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow flush system, houses, solids separators —actions include: stop recycle (flushing system) pump stop irrigation pump make sure no siphon effect has been created — separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow d. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often these are seepage as opposed to flowing leaks —possible action*: dig a small well or ditch to catchall seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back into lagoon if holes are caused by burrowing animals,trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil *Lagoon problems require the consultation of an individual experienced in the design and installation of lagoons for permanent repair measures. 2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages. a. Did the waste reach any surface waters? b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration? C. Any damage notes, such as employee injury,fish kills, or property damage? 3. Contact appropriate agencies. a. During normal business hours, call your DEM regional office, at 910-395-3900, after hours, emergency number: 919-733-3942. Your phone call should include: your name, facility, telephone number, the details of incident from item 2 above, the exact location of the facility, and the location or direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind conditions, what corrective measures have been under taken, and the seriousness of the situation. b. If spill leaves, or is likely to leave, property or enters surface waters, call local emergency management services (EMS) at 910-296- 2160. C. Instruct EMS to contact local Health Department. d. Contact local Soil and Water Conservation District Natural Resources Conservation Service office at 910-296-2121, and Cooperative Extension Service at 910-296-2143for advice/technical assistance. e. If you are a contract swine grower associated with a swine company integrator, contact the company representative. 4. Implement procedures as advised by DEM and technical assistance agencies to rectify the damage, repair the system, and reassess the waste management plan to keep problems with release of wastes from happening again.

Discharge rates and application rates change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. in particular, pump wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use, nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter. You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the application uniformity. For exampi'e, operating the system with excessive pressure results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. Plugged intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating pressure. Operating below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter and application uniformity. For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at several locations in the application area. Any number of containers can be used to collect flow and determine the application rate. Rain gauges work best because they already have a graduated scare from which to read the application amount without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets, jars, or anything with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used providea the liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring. For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly throughout the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both sides of the gun cart., You should compute the average application rate for all nonuniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation dealer or technical specialist for assistance. *Reprinted for Certification Training for Operations of Animal Waste Management Systems Manual :yam`.:' 'e'_;;�;�,;i � ' r++�•�Q 1 � r - t Not P2 Irr � z�-a� r � L p�•1. •. f t1 1 -i +n 4•ryS yt •fir -Ali ti Y�A �`�.�+`.{ Y J rK Y"'* �, ~1...= is � A JAG � � �4/ •+ i' .Y�. e log ._ � .y - -•^ '•+mac—`�••..-,•. -C`r - ^Y'•_. •,c _ 4 �r �,-,e� - 'ti ` 5 � � f "'�'`yi+nG' '_:..

Hybrid bermudagrasses are deep- rooted; long-lived, warm -season perennials. They aid in balancing grazing programs by relieving cool - season plants during hot and droughty periods. Under a high level of management, they are ca- iblishing rid aermuaagra United States Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service Raleigh, North Carolina gable of producing large quantities of forage. =Mmmi� Varieties There -are several hybrid bermuda- grass varieties available in the southeast, but only three are of im- portance for forage production in North Carolina. Coastal is the old standard,.but is less winter hardy than the others. Midland is more winter hardy than coastal, but its disease resis- tance is not as great and yields are generally lower. It can be grown throughout the piedmont. Tifton 44 is finer stemmed and has a more dense sod than coastal. Yields are comparable to coastal, but it gives considerably better av- erage daily beef gain than coastal. It nonnally begins spring growth a week to 10 days earlier than coastal. It can be grown through- out the piedmont and coastal plain. However, farmer experi- ence indicates much better yields from coastal in dry weather. Site Hybrid bermudagrass grows best on well -drained to moderately well - drained fertile soils. It will grow well on loamy sands and sands pro- vided it has adequate supplies of moisture and plant nutrients. Ber- mudagrass generally grows well on soils having seasonally high water tables that have been drained. It grows very poorly on plastic, shal- low, or very wet soils. It grows on fairly acid soil but grows best in the pH ranges of 6.0 to 6.5. Land Preparation Prepare the soil well, as for to- bacco or peanuts. The seedbed should be moist at planting time and free of common bermuda, Johnsongrass, nutgrass. and nox- ious weeds. Plant dormant sprigs. before top growth starts, from Feb- ruary to April. March is normally preferred. Lime and Fertilizer Apply lime and fertilizer according to soil test recommendation. Har- row or disk lime and fertilizer uni- formly into the soil. In lieu of a soil test, apply _ tons of lime per acre and pounds of fertilizer per acre followed by _ pounds of nitrogen per acre when growth starts. Planting Stock Secure pure sprigs, free from com- mon bermuda, Johnsongrass, nut - grass, and noxious weeds. Prior to digging, remove old growth by close mowing or burning. Keep sprigs cool and moist and plant same day of digging. Protect with a wind -tight cover when trans- ported from digging site to plant- ing area. The importance of keeping sprigs from drying out cannot be over -empha- sized. Method Of Planting In Rows The sprigs should be planted 2 to 4 inches deep in moist soil, leaving sprig,tips exposed. Dormant sprig tips may be covered with 1 to 2 inches of soil, but they may not be able to break through crusted soil. Plant sprigs 12 to 15 inches apart in 3 foot rows_ For Tifton 44, the rows should be 2 feet apart. Com- mercial planting requires 15 to 20 cubic feet (10 to 15 bushels) of sprigs per acre. Broadcast Broadcast sprigs by hand from truck or with manure spreader. Immediately cover sprigs with tan- dem disk harrow. Set angle of rear section of the disk almost straight to avoid bringing sprigs to surface. Use a culti-packer to firm the soil after planting. Broadcast planting is successful if used early in the season or if irrigation is used. This method requires 50 to 75 cubic feet (40-60 bushels) of sprigs per acre. Increase the rate by 10 to 20 percent. for Tifton 44, Weed Control Lack of weed control, especially grassy weeds, is probably the ma- jor cause of failure or slow success in hybrid bermuda plantings. There are no easy ways to rid a new planting of grassy weeds dur- ing the growing season. Some times grassy weeds can be control- led by mowing or grazing, but for quickest ground cover it is best to use a herbicide immediately after sprigs are planted and furrows are smoothed. See North Carolina Ag- ricultural Chemicals Manual for rates and restrictions. Adhere strictly to precautions and instruc- tions on the herbicide container la- bel. An excellent stand of high quality forage can result from following recommended establishment proce- dures.

October, 1992 How To Manage Hybrid Bermudagrass To maintain high yields of quality grazing, hay, and silage, ade- quate plant nutrient must be added. Hybrid bermudagrass uses plant nutrients more effi- ciently than many other grasses. ananina Hybr Bern id udagra United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service Raleigh, North Carolina Plant Food Lime - Hybrid bermudagrass does best on soils with a pH range of 6.0 to 6.5. The need and amount of lime to apply should be as indicated by a soil test. Usually, 1 ton of lime every 3 to 5 years is sufficient to main- tain the desired pH when ade- quate lime is applied at estab- lishment. Fertilizer - Apply fertilizer accord- ing to a soil test. A good guide is a 4-1-2 ratio of nitrogen -phos- phate -potash; for high yields on the sandy soils, the ratio should be 4-1-3. For example, apply 500 pounds of 0-14-14 before growth starts (February or early March) on soils high in potash or 0-10-20 or 0-9-27 fertilizer on soils low in potash. On soils not subject to appreciable leaching, 1,000 pounds of 10-10- 10 fertilizer may be substituted for the above and the first topdressing of nitrogen skipped. The phospho- rus and potash need to be applied only once a year. Potash may be used in split applications on very sandy land for high yields of hay. The annual nitrogen fertilization rate is 40 to 501bs. per acre per expected ton of dry hay har- vested. Choose a higher rate as the soil's texture becomes more coarse. Reduce this rate by 25 0 for pasture. Split the total applica- tion so that equal parts can be ap- plied in April, June, and late July on pasture. For hayland, split the application rate so that about one third is applied in March, another third is applied after a June cut- ting and another third is applied after an August cutting. Weed Control A healthy and well -managed hy- brid bermudagrass sod seldom has a serious weed problem. Mow- ing will give a certain amount of Name: Materials: 0 Date weed control, but herbicides may be needed to help in the control of troublesome weeds. Forage Harvest Grazing - Long-term pasture pro- duction can be substantially in- creased by practicing rotational grazing. A good rotational system requires sufficient cross -fencing, shade, salt, and water for the vari- ous grazing areas. Turn live- stock on to begin grazing when plants are 6 to 10 inches high. Re- move livestock when grass is grazed down to 2 inches. Clip pas- tures to keep growth tender and leafy and to reduce "spot" grazing. Reserve Grazing - Beef cattle pro- ducers find it PROFITABLE to set aside reserve pastures for fall and winter grazing. Remove livestock in late August or September and permit the bermudagrass to grow and accumulate growth until frost. During late October, November, and early December, cattle readily graze and do well on frosted grass. Reserve grazing can be used as a substitute for hay with - Location: Notes: out the expense of cutting, curing, hauling, and storing. Hay- r Silage - Cut when grass is about 10 to 12 inches high for highest quality hay or silage. The times of cutting vary but is usually every 21 to 30 days. Hay can be baled in 24 to 36 hours after cut- ting. It may be necessary to re- move previous year's residue of dead grass before growth starts in the spring to obtain good hay and to help control certain insects and diseases. Overseeding - The grazing season can be lengthened by overseeding with annuals, such as rye or rye - legume mixture. Grazing or mow- ing to a height of 1 to 2 inches is advisable prior to overseeding. Fertilize the annuals according to soil test.

Site Preparation Where equipment will travel over the site during planting and/or for maintenance after establishment, slopes should be no steeper than 3:1. Where practical, fill and shape gullied areas. Install neces- sary water control measures such as diversions, waterways or out- lets, subsurface (tile) drainage and terraces. Remove all debris, such as stones, tree stumps, etc., that may interfere with seeding and maintenance operations. Seedbed Preparation Scarify surface to a depth of at least four inches with a disk or other suitable method. In some situations, such as drainage ditch banks, spoil banks, etc., scarifica- tion can be excluded if lime, fertil- izer, and seed are applied to the roughened surface within one or two days after earth moving. Lime And Fertilizer The amount, timing, and method of application of lime and fertilizer materials are very site specific. These are to be determined by the person providing assistance from the SCS office, in accordance with current guidance in 342-1I of the Field Office Technical Guide. Plant Selection And Specifications Select plants which are best suited. In making the selection, keep in mind the plants' characteristics, cli- matic adaptation, the intended use, and level of maintenance re- quired. Suggested time of seed- ing, rates of seed and mixtures for specific uses should be obtained from the sod conservationist. Whenever available, certified seed tested within six months before seeding should be used. Legumes should be scarified, if necessary, and inoculated with the proper strain of nitrogen -fixing bacteria be- fore seeding. When grass is established by using stolons (sprigs or runners), use pre- caution to make certain only fresh, moist planting material is used. Seeding Or Planting Uniformly apply seed with a drill, cultipacker seeder or hydroseeder. Seed may also be broadcast by us- ing a whirlwind or cyclone seeder or by hand. Cover the seed 1/4 to 1 inch deep, depending on the size of the seed, and €inn the soil except where a cultipacker or hy- droseeder is used. Mulching Mulching is a very important step in establishing vegetation on criti- cal areas. Mulch will help hold moisture, protect soil from ero- sion, hold seed in place, and keep soil temperatures more constant. It should be applied uniformly by mechanical means or by hand. Some bare soil should still be vis- ible through the mulch. Hay or straw or other fibrous mulches are best for mulching newly seeded areas. Most mulch materials are subject to blowing and must be tied down by anchoring or press- ing into the soil. Netting, asphalt spray, peg and twine, or other methods may be used. Maintenance Lime and fertilizer should be ap- plied under a regular program based on soil fertility test and the use and general appearance of the vegetative cover. In the absence of a soil test, the following are sug- gested lime and fertilizer rates: One to two tons of limestone per acre every three to five years, and at least 40 pounds each of nitro- gen, phosphorus, and potassium (400 lbs. of 10-10-10 or equiva- lent) per acre annually. Nitrogen may be reduced one-half or more if legumes are established alone or with grasses. Care should be taken not to dam- age the vegetation mechanically through use of improper mowing equipment or by too frequent and/or close mowing.

October, 1992 What is waste Utilization? Waste utilization is using agricultural or other waste on land in an environmentally acceptable manner while maintaining or improving soil and plant resources. The purpose of waste utilization is to safely use wastes at agronomic rates to provide fertility for crop, wine aste tlwlization United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service Raleigh, !North Carolina forage, or fiber production, to improve or maintain soil structure, and to safeguard water resources. Swine Waste Rich in Nutrients Swine waste should be viewed as a resource that can be used as a substitute for commercial fertilizer. Swine waste generated HC-190-130 from animals grown in confinement is rich in plant nutrients. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, essential elements for plant growth, are found in swine waste. The amount of each element available to plants depends upon the size of the animals grown, the length of time the waste is stored, the type of storage structure, the waste application method, timing of application, and the quantity of waste applied. At present in North Carolina, application of animal waste is based on nitrogen as the limiting plant nutrient. Land Requirements The acreage required for waste application depends on the crop to be grown, inherent land productivity, nutrient concentration in the waste, the amount of waste, and application method. Different crops require different amounts of nitrogen to attain a desired yield. Hybrid bermudagrass uses more nitrogen during a year than does corn, as an example. Crop yields differ by soil type. Soil potential and a farmer's management level combine to describe the realistic yield expectation concept. This is a very important component in determining land requirements. Nutrient concentration varies with the type of swine operation as does the volume of the waste generated. When all these components are considered, the land requirements for application can be determined. Buffer strips and acres not receiving full application rates will increase the amount of land needed for waste utilization. The total land required for waste utilization could increase by 25 percent or more depending on the shape of the field, roads, property lines, ditches, dwellings, wells, etc. Swine waste should be applied at agronomic rates based on realistic yield expectations of the crop to be grown. Soil and waste should be sampled and analyzed annually. When Should Swine Waste be Applied to the Land? On annual crops and newly established perennial crops, waste should not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting the crop. Otherwise, waste should only be applied when the crop is actively growing. The Qbifctive of waste utilization is W take advantagc of F antuptake of nutrien�:i fotlnd in the waste with ultimate Waste should not be applied when soils are saturated, during rainfall events, or when the surface of the land is frozen. It should not be applied at rates that exceed the soil infiltration rates. There should never be runoff or drift from the site. During heavy rainfall events, please contact the water quality supervisor in the regional office of the North Carolina Department of Environmental Management for exceptions to avert potential disasters such as overtopping of a lagoon. Information concerning proper operation and maintenance of application equipment should be obtained from the equipment manufacturer or distributor. Equipment must be calibrated and operated properly to avoid runoff: A comprehensive waste utilization plan must be developed for each site and this plan must to be followed to meet the requirements of .0200 Regulations for Water Quality Nondischarge Rule for Livestock Farms in North Carolina. Distances to Remember Swine waste should not be applied Closer than 100 feet to wells, Closer than 50 feet to peren- vial streams and rivers Closer than 200 feet of dwell- ings other than those owned by the producer, and Closer than 30 feet from any residential property boundary Odor Reduction Odors generated from waste application can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after the waste has been applied. Applying waste in this fashion will require more land. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. Consider planting windbreaks to diminish the impact of odor and provide a visual screen to land application areas and waste storage structures. Remember Animal waste will not be allowed to reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application.

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 (919) 733-5083. enc: Sincerely, _Oa444� Steve Tedder, Chief Water Quality Section P.O.
