SNOW CAMP NC 27349 Telephone : 910-376- 3484 Type Operation : Existing Feeder to Finish Swine Number of Animals : 600 . 00 hogs (Design Capacity) STORAGE STRUCTURE : Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon APPLICATION METHOD: Irrigation The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or groundwater . The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of coau-nercial . 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 he 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 po tent.i a.l s , cat ion exchange capacities , and available water holding capacities . 3 . NormalLy waste shall not 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 irons 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 DEM regulations . --- - -------------------- - ----- -- - -- --- ------ - - --------- ---------- ------ Page : I .JIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PL_ , - -- _ _ --_-------- - -- --------- 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 he 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 .

This means animal waste may be applied to fescue throughout the year There are two exceptions. Exceptions: 1 Limit nitrogen application during June and July. It is recommended that you apply no more than 30 lbs. of N per 30 day period during June and July providing there is adequate soil moisture. * 2 No nitrogen in December and January during severe winters such as when ground is frozen or when ground is too wet for equipment. Important: Include this Amendment with your Waste Utilization Plan.

Rye, wheat, oats). )41MAL WASTE UTILIZATION PL ---------------------------------- ---------------------- -- ------------ ----- k ** This number must be less than or equal to 0 in order to fully utilize the animal waste N produced . 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 222 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge . If you remove the sludge every 5 years , you will have approximately 1110 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 3 . 7 acres of land . If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre , you will need 8 . 88 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 : ' 6 -iMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PL..F ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 . !

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 2S year 24 hour storm . It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2 . Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid . Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis reps>rt. for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste , NARRATIVE OF OPERATION _--_--------------_-w--------_____-+--------------------_----------------- t---i-- Page : 7 WASTE UTILIZATION PL. . --- ------------------ ----------- - --------------------- ------ ---- ----- REQUIRED 8PECI `ICATIONS 1 .

( See FOTC Standard 393 -Filter Strip) 5 . Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application . Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field . 6 . When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding , it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland . When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland , the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding . (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance . ) 7 . Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application . No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies . S . Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils , during rainfall events , or where 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 .

' RANDY LEWIS WASTE TREATMENT LAGUON ALAMANCE COUNTY , NORTH CAROLINA AUGUST , 1983 MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION 1 . Waste effluent in the lagoon shall be removed so as to not reach a normal effluent level higher than elevation 91 .. 2 in the lagoon . A treated post will be set to mark this elevation . 2 . For better odor control and waste treatment , the effluent in the lagoon should not be allowed to reach a surface elevation lower than 88 . 2 . 3 . The waste treatment lagoon is designed on the basis that : a . Elevation will be maintained as stated . b. A sprinkler irrigation system will be used to deliver the disposal volume from the lagoon to the disposal field. C . Disposal will be accomplished. at least two times ( 2 ) per year with a- volume of 69 , 590 cu . feet removed from the lagoon each time . An adequate disposal area of corn (grain ) , tall fescue , or other crops will be provided . The effluent prod.uced by this 5 E C system will contain approximately 4 , 319 pounds of nitrogen immediately after disposal on the land . unL-%za'rMAJ For proper nitrogen removal , one of the following or a combination of these and other crops shall be used . Q1�AIJ Corn' {grain } 22 acres/yr . Tall Fescue 11 acres/yr . Consult the local Soil Conservation Service Technician for any adjustments to the above once the system is in operation . e . The waste storage in the lagoon includes storage for both the waste generated by the hogs and other waste water from the opera- tion ( i . e . leaky water faucets , etc . ) . The use of a flushing system that used a source of effluent other than the lagoon effluent would cause a substantial increase in the waste disposal rate ( see item c ) for the designed operation . f. All runoff from the surrounding watershed area shall be diverted around the impoundment . The diversion shall be designed and maintained so as to carry a 25 year frequency strom peak discharge . 4 .

Where boars are unnecessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows. The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2014, and shall hereby void Certificate of Coverage Number AWS010003 that was previously issued to this facility. Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals. Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Please pav careful attention to the record keeping and monitoring conditions in this permit.

Per NRCS standards a 100-foot separation shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any wetted area of a spray field. Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143- 215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties,criminal penalties, and injunctive relief. If you wish to continue the activity permitted under the General Permit after the expiration date of the General Permit,then an application for renewal must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration. This COC is not automatically transferable. A name/ownership change application must be submitted to the Division prior to a name change or change in ownership. If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this COC are unacceptable, you have the right to apply for an individual permit by contacting the Animal Feeding Operations Unit for information on this process. Unless such a request is made within 30 days, this COC shall be final and binding. In accordance with Condition II.22 of the General Permit, waste application shall cease within four (4) hours of the time that the National Weather Service issues a Hurricane Warning, Tropical Storm Warning, or a Flood Watch associated with a tropical system for the county in which the facility is located.

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. t 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 Isecure 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. i 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 1 'E 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 fClimate 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. i � 736649 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 2/412009 5p ecification Page l 3 t t k s'# S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil surface is frozen. j9.

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. I i 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. 3 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. i Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the land E application field. I s 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 1 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 i not cause drift from the site during application.

This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed to determine nutrient content 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 eater holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater that 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. 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 water which is not allowed under North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM) .0200 regulations. l 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare neither ground nor more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste are based on typical nutrient content for this typical facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. Your facility is designed for 180 .00 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 .00 months . In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored in your structure. be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm . It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rate: to the acres shown in Tables i 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 . 2 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Amount of Waste Produced Per Year (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 600( Hogs )animals X 1.9 (tons) waste/ 1000 animal/ year = 1140 tons 1140 tons x 2000lbs/ton = 2,280,000 lbs /8.4 lbs/gal =271,429 gals/yr 271,429 gals/yr /27.154 gals/ac.in. = 10 ac inches/yr 1140 (tons) waste/ year Amount of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) Produced Per Year 600 (hogs) animal X 2.3— lbs.

This means animal waste may be applied to fescue throughout the year There are two exceptions. Exceptions: 1 Limit nitrogen application during June and July. It is recommended that you apply no more than 30 lbs. of N per 30 day period during June and July providing there is adequate soil moisture. 2 No.nitrogen in December and January during severe winters such as when ground is frozen or when ground is too wet for equipment. Important: Include this Amendment with your Waste Utilization Plan. Technical Representative &AZ Date Z9 D� *This information on application rate provided by Carroll Pierce with the Division of Soil and Water Conservation on August 28, 2001. r LA SLUDGE APPLICATION : The 'waste utilization plan must contain provisions for per land application of sludge at agronpmic' 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 222 pounds of plant available -nitrogen per year in. the sludge . If you remove the sludge every 5 years , you will have approximately 1110 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 3. 7 acres of land . If you apply the sludge to corn at the .rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre , you will . need 8 . 88 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 I and 2 . Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid .

The-applicator is cautioned that Phosphorous and Potassium may be over applied while meeting the Nitrogen requirements. • Field #4 —Winter Annuals (ex. Rye) will be overseeded into established Bermuda grass stand. Operator will follow the attached (see page 6A) Crop Management Practices for Rye or will have to reduce Nitrogen Application rate to 50 Lbs. per acre. • Field # 5 & 6— Cool season grasses are the predominate planting however this may be rotated with Summer Annuals ( ex. millets, sudans)-followed by Winter Annuals (ex. Rye, wheat, oats). 1 } 1 Nam CWDWE Slade urivi"ty is a rand- Department of Crop Science 1 grart uwaney and a emsthwi ns`utxn ,— of 7ha lkrranty d Noiz cam&C d I CCAogo d AWk% twe and Ufa Sdormas Campus Box 7620 Raleigh.NC 27695-7620 219-5152647 914515.7959(tom) -Memorandum TO: North Carolina Certified Technical Specialists FROM: Dr. Jim Green, Chairman NC State University Forage roduct ion Workgroup DATE: June 29, 1998 �/ SUBJECT: Crop Management Practices for Select Forages Used in Waste Management The following is a four-page surnmary of suggestions for management practices for some forage crops that can be used in waste management plans. These suggestions are a result of discussions within the NC State University Forage Production Workgroup, a group comprised of NC State faculty and MRCS agency personnel with expertise with the crops. There are limited documented research responses of sow of these practices on the many soils and environments where these crops are currently being grown. The Forage Production Workgroup has taken the available data and used the combined experiences and realistic estimates of key people to cone up with suggestions that will allow farmers to incorporate these crops and practices into waste management plans. As data become available to substantiate or refute these suggestions, the Forage Production Workgroup will make appropriate changes. Bermuda Overseeded With Cereal Rye and Annual Ryegrass Currently two types of `Yyegrass" are being used for winter overseeding in fields used for animal waste management. Cereal rve is a winter annual smallgrain that looks similar to wheat, barley and oats. Annual rvegrass is a winter annual grass that looks much like tall fescue. Both of these grasses, wben .growing during the winter on bermuda sod, can have significant impact on subsequent bermuda yields. In effect, the total yields from an acre growing the combination of bermuda with these winter annuals will usually yield between 1-2 tons more per acre than bermuda.growing alone for the year. Therefore, the total amount of PAN/acre for the year is about i00 lbs more than for bermuda alone. Although cereal rye and annual rye¢rass are suitable crops for overseeding, the management of the crops are different and thus practices implemented are dependent on the crop selected. �Ar G� Noah CwDWa State UNYwity is a iard- Deparbnerd Of CrOp Sdence.

The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling rye into short (less than 3 inches tall) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An application of 50 lbs/acre of Plant Available N (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30. An additional 50 lbslacre of PAN may be applied in February-March. If rye growth is harvested on time and does not significantly shade the bermuda, PAN'rates for the subsequent bermuda crop are based on realistic yields of Bermuda. A harvest is required prior to heading or April 7, which ever comes first. This is necessary to rninimi the potential for shading bermuda and reducing its yields. The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded with cereal rye must be redu--ed in accordance with MRCS Technical Standard rr590. Annual Ryegrass Annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short (less than 3 _ inches tall) bermudagrass-sod. If drilling is not possible, the'seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. Tire last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An application of 50 lbslacre of (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30. An additional 50 lbslacre of PAN may be applied in February-March. If additional PAN is applied to the ryegrass in April-May, the PAN rate for the bermuda must be reduced by a corresponding amount. This is pecessary because ryegrass growth during April-May will reduce Bermuda yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is required by heading or April 7, which ever comes first to prevent, shading of emerging bermuda during April-May period. To favor the production of the bermuda, additional harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height. The PAIN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded with annual ryegrass must be reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard n590.

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 producer either owns or has a notarized 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 a notarized agreement with a landowner that is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of he owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed,the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture,historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. Actual yields may be used in lieu of realistic yield tables at the discretion of the planner. 4. Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be eroding at more than 5 tons but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the fields. (See FOTG Standard 393-Filter Strips) 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drifted 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 site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste should not be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to depth that would prohibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should be considered. 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of 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. NRCS, NC JUNE, 1996 Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995, 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 fitter strips are present(See Standard 393-Filter Strips) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet from wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by 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 overspraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided a "technical specialist"has approved it as a land applications site. Animal waste applied on grassed waterways shall be at agronomic rates and 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 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. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18. if animal production at the facility is 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 permanent markers shall be installed to mark the-tap 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. Soil tests shall be made every two years and a liquid waste analysis be taken at least twice each year consistent with waste utilization plan. Poultry litter shall be tested prior to application. Soil and • waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC regulations. MRCS, NC J UNE, 1996 10 ___,NIMAL_WASTE UTILIZATION P.

Bermuda Overseeded With Cereal Rye and Annual Ryegrass Currently two types of "ryegrass" are being used for winter overseeding in fields used for animal waste management. Cereal rve is a winter annual smallgraih that looks similar to wheat, barley and oats. Annual rvearass is a winter annual grass that Iooks much like tall fescue. Both of these grasses, when growing during the.winter on bermuda sod, can have significant impact on subsequent bermuda yields. in effect, the total yields from an acre growing the combination of bermuda with these winter annuals will usually yield between 1-2 tons more per acre than Bermuda.growing alone for the year. Therefore, the total amount of PAN, /acre for the year is about I Cj lbs more than for bermuda alone. Although cereal rye and annual ryegrass are suitable crops for oversee-ding, the management of the crops are different and thus practices implemented are dependent on the crop selected.

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 to determine nutrient content 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 eater holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater that 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. 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 water which is not allowed under North Carolina Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM) .0200 regulations. 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. b. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare neither ground nor more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste are based on typical nutrient content for this typical facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. Your facility is designed for 180 .00 days of- temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6 .00 months . In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm . It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in Tables I and 2 . Failure to apply the recommenced 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 _ 2 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAPP Amount of Waste Produced Per Year (gallons, W, tons, etc.) 600( Hogs )animals X 1.9 (tons) waste/ 1000 animal/ year = 1140 tons 1140 tons x 20001bs/ton = 2,280,000 lbs /8.4 lbs/gal =271,429 gals/yr 271,429 gals/yr/27.154 gals/ac.in. = 10 ac inches/yr 1140 (tons) waste/ year Amount of Plant_Available Nitrogen fPAN Produced Per Year _600 (hogs) animal X 2.3— lbs.

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 222 pounds of plant available -nitrogen per year in- the sludge . If you remove the sludge every 5 years , you will have approximately 1110 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 3. 7 acres of land . If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre , you will . need 8 . 88 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 I and 2 . Failure to apply the recommended rates and 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 . ; Application - Rate, Appiic .

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 . 5 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN NARRATIVE OF OPERATION • Division of Water Quality requires the following items to be available at the farm: waste application records, a map of fields and acreage that receives waste, waste analysis or calculations of waste constituents. • Note: This plan only addresses Nitrogen. The applicator is cautioned that Phosphorous and Potassium may be over applied while meeting the Nitrogen requirements. • Field #4 --Winter Annuals (ex. Rye) will be overseeded into established Bermuda grass stand. • Field # 5 & 6 — Cool season grasses are the predominate planting however this may be rotated with Summer Annuals ( ex. millets, sudans) followed by Winter Annuals '(ex_ Rye, wheat, oats). EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN Phone Numbers DWQ: (336) 7714600 Emergency Management System: (336) 228-1312 Alamance SWCD- (336)228-1753 ext.3 NRCS: (336)228-1753 ext.3 This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking, overflowing, or running off 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 posted in an accessible location for all employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should take. 1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below. A. Lagoon overflow-possible solutions are: a. Add soil berm to increase elevation of dam. b. Pump wastes into fields at an acceptable rate. c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately. d. Call a pumping contractor. e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon. B. Runoff from waste application field-actions include- a. Immediately stop waste application. b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste. c. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff. d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s)that caused the runoff. e_ Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred. C. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers-actions include: a. Stop recycle pump. b. Stop irrigation pump. c. Close valves to eliminate further discharge. d. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps. D. Leakage from flush systems, houses, solid separators-actions include: a. Stops recycle pump. b. Stop irrigation pump. c. Make sure no siphon occurs. d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid separators. e_ Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps. E_ Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to flowing leaks-possible action: a. Dig a small pump or ditch away from the embankment to catch all seepage put in a . -Submersible pump, and pump back lagoon. b. If holes are caused by burrowing animals,trap or remove animals and fill holes and And compact with a clay type soil. c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and lagoon bottom as soon as possible. 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 noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage? d. Did the spill leave the property? e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters? f. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters? g. Are potable water wells in danger (either on or off of the property)? h. How much reached surface waters? 3. Contact appropriate agencies. a. During normal business hours, call your DWQ (Division of Water Quality) regional office: Phone (336) 771-4600. After hours, emergency number: (919) 733-3942. Your phone call should include: your name, facility, telephone number, the details of the incident from item 2 above, the exact location of the facility, the location or direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind conditions.

Any discharge of waste, which reaches surface water, is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that producer either owns or has a notarized 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 a notarized agreement with a landowner that is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of he owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed,the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. Actual yields may be used in lieu of realistic yield tables at the discretion of the planner. 4. Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be eroding at more than 5 tons but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the fields. (See FOTG Standard 393-Filter Strips) 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drifted 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 site during application_ No ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste should not be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crap is not covered with waste to depth that would prohibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should be considered. 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of 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.

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 overspraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided a "technical specialist"has approved it as a land applications site. Animal waste applied on grassed waterways shall be at agronomic rates and 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 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. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is 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 permanent 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. Soil tests shall be trade every two years and a liquid waste analysis be taken at least twice each year consistent with waste utilization plan. Poultry litter shall be tested prior to application. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC regulations.

These suggestions are a result of discussions within the NC State University Forage Production Work group, a group comprised of NC State faculty and NRCS agency personnel with expertise with the crops. There are limited documented research responses of sorry of these practices on the many soils and environ-rients wbere these crops are currently being grown- The Forage Production Work-group has taken the available data and used the combined experiences and realistic estun?tes of key people to come up with suggestions that wit] allow farmers to mcorpora_e these crops and practices into waste management paans. As data become available to substantiate or refute these suggestion, the Forage Production Workgroup will make appropriate changes. Bermuda Oveneeded With Cereal Rye andAnnual Ryegrws Currently two types of `5ryeglass" are being used far winter overseeding in fields used for animal waste management. Lpueal eve is a winter annual sma lgrain that looks similar to wheat, barley and oats. Annual rvegws is a winter annual grass that IODI.S much Ue tall fescue. Both of these grasses, when growing during the winter on bermuda sod, can have significant impact on subsequent bermnda yields. In effect, the total yields from an acre growing the combination, of bermuda with tbese winter annuals will usually yield between 1-2 tons more per acre than bermuda.prowing alone for the year. Therefore, the total armant of RAN/acre for the year is about 100 lbs more than for bermuda alone. Although cereal rye and annual ryeg-ass are suitable crops for ovesseeding, the management of the crops are different and thus practices implemented are dependent on the crop selected. -FA 6E North cc-z*w M40 Lftymky Is a h� Departrnerti of Crop Science VI"V ivdnty and■W luod d TIN Ur" ky d Norte CWDS-, �- Cdlogo cd Agricufturs and LI,Slog,,, .

The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling rye into short (less than 3 inches tall) bcrmvdagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 rims the rate for drilled seeds. The ,last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bernanda prior to August 31. An application of 50 lbs/acre of Plant Available N (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30. An additional 50 lbs/acre of PAN may be applied in February-March. If rye growth is harvested on time and does not significantly shade the bermuda, PA 'rates for the subsequent be da crop are based on realistic yields of Bermuda. A harvest is required prior to heahn,-, or April 7, which ever comes first. This is necessary to rninirni7P the potential for shading berm,uda and reducing its yields. The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseded with cereal rye must be redtt:.ed in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard #590. Annual Ryegrass Annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get winter growth. The mast consistent stands are obtained from drilling rye�Tass into short (less than 3 inches tall) Bern udaarass sod. If duMing is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod faLowed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of suds should be 1.5 limes the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animp.3 waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An application of 50 lbslacm of (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30. An additional 50 lbs/acre of PAN may be applied in February-March If additional PAN is zpphed to the ryegrass in April-May, the PAN rate for the ben=da must be reduced by a corresponding amount- This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April-May will reduce. Bermuda yields and sborten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is r;quired by heading or April 7, which ever comes first to prevent. shading of emerging bar muda duriag April-May period. To favor the production of the bermuda, additional harvests of ryegi ass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height. The PAN rate for gr=d systems with bermuda overseeded with annual ryegrass must be reduced in accordance with NRCS Technical Standard#590. �4fG Z 90 " d Z an��� aadooO QN `anuzWeLV VIV : 60 TO- lz-qaA i I RANDY LEWIS FARM BUFFE j Randy Lewis 3978 Lewis Rd Snow Camp NC 27349 LAGOON 1 -� 1 \ I j Pipe key L1 t 6" PR200 6asketed PVC Pipe 6' Faiuminun Pipe 2" PR200 SW PVC Pipe I \ F zf \ f r 1 l 1 111 Y -- �\ FIELD #5 MELD #6 Sprinkler Valve key f 4" Flange Wheel Sate va va BUFFER ` - �_ __ 4 DW3 B-81n Valve }„ _ .__ --- ---- — _ - _ - _ TB Water Sup;a lW T BUFFER T i� C F T T F I ► - i �- f1 - TB . - - - - - - - _ _ _ _ _ _ BUFF --__— — EW _ � � BI.�FER - - Y LEWIS RD I 4_ .
