Guilford County, consisting of zero (0) Swine and the application to land as specified in the Facility's
Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until November 30, 2022 and shall be subject to
the following specified conditions and limitations:
1. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The animal waste management system operated under this Permit shall be effectively
maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent the discharge of pollutants
to surface waters, wetlands, or ditches. Application of waste to terraces and grassed
waterways is acceptable as long as it is applied in accordance with Natural Resources
Conservation Service (MRCS) Standards and does not result in a discharge of waste to
surface waters, wetlands, or ditches. If the Facility has a discharge of waste that reaches
surface waters or wetlands resulting from a storm event more severe than a 25-year, 24-
hour storm, it will not be in violation of this Permit, as long as the Facility is in
compliance with its CAWMP and this Permit.
2. No discharge of waste shall result in a violation of the water quality standards established
for receiving waters as per Title 15A, Subchapter 213, Section .0200 of the North Carolina

Narrative
This plan is for the closure of a hog lagoon located on property owned by John Rendall, Ward Farms
previously operated a 400 pig Feeder to Finish swine operation on the property. The feeder to finish
operation which consisted of one house and a 213,760 cuff. storage capacity lagoon has been void of any
pigs since January 2015. Mr. Rendall plans to hire a contractor to close out the lagoon in the spring of
2017 by agitating then pump and haul the manure to fields located next to the lagoon. Although Mr.
Rendall is the landowner, the permit for this facility is held by Ward Farms. Gregg Ward will be
overseeing the closure as the operator in charge.
A sludge survey was conducted on November 15, 2016 by Michael Shepherd, NC DSWC, and Millie
Langley and Jamey Walker with Guilford Soil and Water Conservation District. Both liquid and sludge
waste samples were collected and sent to the NCDA&CS Agronomics lab the same day. Results of the
sludge survey indicated there were 459,774 gallons of liquid waste with a nitrogen concentration of 0.57
lbs N/1000 gal and 597,203 gallons of sludge with a nitrogen concentration of 11.6 Ibs N/1000 gal. An
estimated 5,745 gallons of sludge waste remains in the hog house, which will be scooped out and
removed during the closure. These gallons were added to the sludge estimate in the pond for a total
sludge volume of 602,949 gallons. The total volume of waste to be removed is 1,062,723 gallons.
Soil samples for all application fields were collected by Michael Shepherd and Millie Langley on
December 14, 2016 and sent to the NCDA&CS Agronomics lab for analysis.
The closure method for the lagoon will be a heavy agitation then pump and haul to crop fields and
pasture land nearby with honeywagons. Water shall be added as necessary to facilitate the agitation and
pumping. Due to the low liquid level in the lagoon, a complete removal of all manure by agitation may
not be achieved. If manure still exist in the bottom of the lagoon after agitation and pumping, the sludge
layer may need to be scooped out and spread on fields with a side slinger manure spreader at agronomic
rates. All liquid, slurry, sludge, and solid waste removed from the lagoon shall be utilized in accordance
with NRCS Conservation Practice Standards, Nutrient Management, Code 590 and/or Waste facility
closure, Code 360.
Once all manure has been removed from the lagoon and approved by a Technical Specialist, the lagoon
dam shall be breached from the northwest corner of the dam. The impoundment shall be rendered unable
to impound water and the bottom and sides of the impoundment breach shall be stable and no steeper
than three horizontal to one vertical (3:1). All disturbed areas shall be re -vegetated to control erosion and
restore the aesthetic value of the site in accordance with NRCS Conservation Practice Standard, Waste
Facility Closure, Code 360 and/or Critical Area Planting, Code 342,

The table shown below provides a summary of the crops or rotations included in this plan for each field, Realistic
Yield estimates are also provided for each crop, as well as the crop's P205 Removal Rate. The Leaching Index (LI)
and the Phosphorous Loss Assessment Tool (PLAT) Rating are also provided for each field, where available.
If a field's PLAT Rating is High, any planned manure application is limited to the phosphorous removal rate of the
harvested plant biomass for the crop rotation or multiple years in the crop sequence. Fields with a Very High PLAT
Rating should receive no additional applications of manure. Regardless of the PLAT rating, starter fertilizers may be
recommended in accordance with North Carolina State University guidelines or recommendations. The quantity of
P205 applied to each crop is shown in the following table if the field's PLAT rating is High or Very High,

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of
cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements,
and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or
other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in
order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is
included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

Lagoon sludge often contains high concentrations of zinc and copper. High levels of these metals in soils can adversely affect plant growth. The
following table provides a conservative (maximum potential) estimate for increase in soil index values.* Due to inherit variability of waste and soil
sampling, it is recommended that conservative soil target levels be set for copper (e.g. Cu-1 < 700-1000) and zinc (e.g. Zn-1 < 300 for land where
peanuts may be grown; for other cropland Zn-I < 700-1000). Alternative application sites should be selected if the following table indicates that
concentrations of these metals may approach excessive levels. For maximum copperand zinc soil index limits, see the NRCS Nutrient Management
Standard (Code 590).

The Nutrient Management Recommendations table shown below provides an annual summary of the nutrient
management plan developed for this operation. This table provides a nutrient balance for the listed fields and crops
for each year of the plan. Required nutrients are based on the realistic yields of the clops to be grown, their nutrient
requirements and soil test results. The quantity of nutrient supplied by each source is also identified.
The total quantity of nitrogen applied to each crop should not exceed the required amount. However, the quantity of
other nutrients applied may exceed their required amounts. This most commonly occurs when manure or other
byproducts are utilized to meet the nitrogen needs of the crop. Nutrient management plans may require that the
application of animal waste be limited so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of
this nutrient are detected in a field. in such situations, additional nitrogen applications from nonorganic sources
may be required to supply the recommended amounts of nitrogen.

The Required Soil Test Values shown in the following table provide a summary of recommended actions that should be takers if soil tests indicate
excessive levels of copper or zinc. Fields that receive manure must have an annual soil analysis for these elements. High levels of zinc and copper
can adversely affect plant growth. Alternative crop sites must be used when the concentration of these metals approach excessive levels. Site life can
be estimated by dividing the amount of copper and zinc to be applied in lbs/acre by 0.036 and 0.071, respectively and multiplying the result by 0.85.
By adding this quantity to the current soil index for copper or zinc, we can predict life of the site for waste disposal.
In addition to copper and zinc indices, this table also provides a summary of lime recommendations for each crop based on the most recent soi 1 sample.
Application of lime at recommended rates is necessary to maintain soil pH in the optimum range for crop production .

GENERAL LAGOON CLOSURE INFORMATION:
Closure Start Date: 06-01-2017 Closure End Date: 10-01-2017
WASTE APPLICATION
1. Animal waste shall not be applied to wetlands or surface water or shall not reach wetlands
or surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or
direct discharge during operation or land application.
2. Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding at 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 filters are installed where runoff leaves the field.
3. Animal waste shall not be applied on saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen. When animal waste is to be applied on areas 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.
4. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages
breaking dormancy. A suitable cover crop should be planted to scavenge nutrients
especially on leachable soils. Also on soils with a high potential for leaching, multiple
applications at lower rates should be used.
5. Animal waste should be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is
not covered with waste to depth that would inhibit growth.
6. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters.
7. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied within 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by
the landowner.
9. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
10. Animal waste applied on grassed waterways shall be at agronomic rates and in a manner
that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
l I . Apply animal waste at rates that do not exceed the nitrogen needs for Realistic Yield
Expectation (RYE) for the crop being grown.
12. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least once every three
years
at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining
element.
13. Records of waste application shall be maintained to establish actual application rates. The
records will include date of application, amount of waste applied per acre by tract number
and field number, most recent waste analysis and soil test report, and the RYE nitrogen
rate.
14. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate. No ponding
shall occur.
CLOSEOUT CONDITION:
131348 Date Printed: 05-02-2017 Info Page I

WASTE STORAGE POND CLOSURE
All devices used to convey animal waste into the storage ponds shall be permanently plugged
or removed. Liquid and slurry wastes shall be agitated and pumped to the maximum extent
practicable. Water shall be added as necessary to facilitate the agitation and pumping. The
wastewater shall be utilized in accordance with NRCS Conservation Practice Standard,
Nutrient Management, Code 540 and/or Waste Utilization, Code 633.
If the bottom of the lagoon or structure is above the water table at the time of closure and will
support earth -moving equipment, it must be scraped. A qualified technical specialist must
determine the soil stability for earth moving equipment. For lagoons or structures that are not
to be scraped and those with bottoms documented to be below the water table at the time of
closure, the depth of "agitated" waste material remaining in the lagoon or structure at the time
of closure may not exceed a maximum depth of one (1) foot.
Upon the completion of waste removal from the ponds, the embankments will be breached so
they will no longer impound liquid. The slopes and bottom of the breachshall be no steeper than
3:1. All disturbed areas shall be vegetated in accordance with USDANRCS Conservation Practice
Standard 342 (Critical Area Treatment).
The concrete feedlot may no longer be used to confine livestock. All waste shall be removed
from the lot and runoff directed to a stable outlet which will not result in erosion or discharge of
animal waste.
A Certified Technical Specialist or Professional Engineer licensed in North Carolina must
supervise and certify any lagoon or waste pond closure. Two business days prior to any waste
removal, the Division of Water Resources (DWR) must be notified. A copy of the closure plan
must also be submitted to DWR prior to notification.
REMOVAL OF INFLOW DEVICES:
All devices used to convey animal waste into and between the storage ponds shall be permanently
plugged or removed.
INSTALLATION OF SPILLWAY:
Once all manure has been removed from the lagoon and approved by a Technical Specialist, the lagoon
dam shall be breached from the northwest corner of the dam. The impoundment shall be rendered
unable to impound water and the bottom and sides of the impoundment breach shall be stable and no
steeper than three horizontal to one vertical (3:1). All disturbed areas shall be re -vegetated to control
erosion and restore the aesthetic value of the site in accordance with NRCS Conservation Practice
Standard, Waste Facility Closure, Code 360 and/or Critical Area Planting, Code 342.

L 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, MRCS 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).
131348 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: MO Specification Pare 1

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.
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.
---- — — - ... - --- -- ---------------------
131348 Databasc Version 4.1 Date Printed: 5f2/2017 Specification Page 2

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.
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.
--------- ----
131348 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: 5/2/2017 Specification Page 3

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.

Below are the estimated soil volumes to do a breach
sufficient to ensure that the pond does not hold water
in the future and another estimate to completely fill the
pond with soil (would also be maximum volume of
liquid to be removed). These numbers are based on a
survey completed in 1997 when the previous owner
wanted to use it as a hog waste lagoon as well as
previous owner depth estimates. I also used lidar data
to estimate the location of the toe of slope at the
maximum dam height. These volumes are for
estimates for grant application purposes.

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

SWINE WASTE TREATMENT LAGOON #2 (Cook -Stewart Rd. Farm)
Total Storage Volume At Maximum Liquid Level Of This Lagoon: 317,438 cu.ft. (See design)
Minimum Permanent Storage Volume = 297,000 cu.ft. ACTUAL VOLUME = 211,565 cu.ft.
(This lagoon actually has too little actual treatment volume, so it is operating as a Waste Storage Pond. The nitrogen
content will run higher and this has been taken into consideration.)
Temporary Storage Volume (Waste to be Land Applied):
Temporary Storage includes Animal Waste plus excess rainfall.
Total Amount of Waste to be Pumped: 1,583,860 Gallons of Waste per Year
791,930 Gallons of WASTE per 180 Days or
105,873 Cu. Ft. of WASTE per 180 Days or
29.2 acre -inches of Waste per 180 Days
Storage for 25 Yr- 24 Hour Storm = 0.5 feet of vertical storage above maximum liquid elevation.
Amount of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) Produced Per Year
2200 Animals (135 Avg. Weight) X 2.3 lbs. PAN 1 Animal 1 Year = 5060 lbs PAN / Year
5060 lbs PAN 1 Year + 1,583,860/1000 gals = 3.2 lbs PAN 11000 gals
27,154 galslac.in X 3.2 lbs PAN11000 gals = 86.9 lbs PAN 1 ac.in
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 and surface
application:

Addition of Pumping Station Freeboard 2.0'
Due to problems with the pipe leading from the houses to the lagoon, the Wards will use the existing concrete
square storage pond, as a pumping station. This 62' x 58' x 10.5' deep holding pond, and is plumbed to
accept waste from the houses. Gregg has a tractor and pump set up to pump from this small concrete hole to
the lagoon. The small holding pond will hold approximately 6 - 7 days of manure and water under normal
usage leaving 2.0' of freeboard. Additional water from rainfall - evaporation for 7 days is only .45 inches.
Leaving 2.0' of freeboard will more than take care of any additional rainfall.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION:
Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil
and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.
Cook Stewart Farm:
The pump is able to produce a pressure of 62 psi at the RainBird Ring nozzle gun using a
ring size of .870". At this pressure, the gun is putting out 112 GPM with a diameter of 270
feet. A total of 58 acre inches must be applied each year. This is equal to 29 inches every 6
months. Applying waste at .3 inch per hour for 2 hours at a time should not cause any runoff.
Only one cycle may be applied (for a total application time of 2 hours) on the small grain
fields over the course of the year. Two and a half cycles may be applied when sudan is the
crop. At 86.9 Lbs of N per Ac Inch, this will result in applications of N slightly below the RYE
for the crop being used.
(1,583,860 gals _ 27,154 galslac.in = 58 ac.in)
Main Farm:
The pump is able to produce a pressure of 62 psi at the RainBird Ring nozzle gun using a
ring size of .870". At this pressure, the gun is putting out 112 GPM with a diameter of 270
feet. A total of 49 acre inches must be applied each year. This is equal to 24 inches every6
months. Applying waste at .3 inch per hour for 2 hours at a time should not cause any
runoff. Three cycles maybe applied (for a total application time of 6 hours) on the small
grain fields over the course of the year. Four cycles may be applied (for a total application
time of 8 hours) on the pasture fields. At 70.6 Lbs of N per Ac Inch, this will result in
applications of N slightly below the RYE for the crop being used except for the field #7
pasture.

Cooper Farm:The pump is able to produce a pressure of 62 psi at the RainBird Ring nozzle
gun using a ring size of .870". At this pressure, the gun is putting out 112 GPM with a
diameter of 270 feet. A total of 22.9 acre- inches must be applied each year. This is equal
to 11.5 acre- inches every 6 months. Applying waste at .3 inch per hour for 2 hours at a time
should not cause any runoff. Up to six and a half cycles may be applied (for a total
application time of 13 hours) depending on the crop requirements, over the course of the
year. At 40.7 Lbs of N per Ac Inch, this will result in applications of N according to the RYE

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
Conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land
application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal
discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the
Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste.
If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall
provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner
who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste
application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of
the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Flan when there
is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization,
or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic
crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions,
and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of
application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RS) or
an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no
greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where
runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by
DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian
Forest Buffers.]
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when the wind is blowing.
b. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled
crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not
occur during a season prone to flooding. [See "Weather and Climate in North
Carolina"in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.]

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATION
(Continued)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that
runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not
cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to
control conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application.
B. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when
the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall not be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no
more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils
with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should
be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released
nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop
on bare soil.
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance
may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter
strips are present. [See Standard 393 - Filter Strips]
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-
ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands
by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted
wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical
specialist." Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge
directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied
at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc.,
shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system.

17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a
maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm
event in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be
provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation.
Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas
where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible.
Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion,
leakage, or discharge.
19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan"which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should
be kept on site.
21. 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 be applied preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
22. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the
temporary storage (pumping volume) of all animal 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.
23. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least
annually at crop sites where animal 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 the metals approach excessive levels. Adjust
pH for optimum crop production and maintenance. Soil and Waste analysis records
shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained
for three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for
five years.
24. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

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

This N is from animal waste only. If nutrients from other sources such as commercial fertilizer are applied, they must be accounted for. N must be
based on realistic Yield expectation. NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements.
Beginning in 1996 the Coastal Zone Management Act will require farmers in some eastern counties of North Carolina to have a nutrient management
plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses Nitrogen.

Using the crop with the most limiting N requirement, small grain, the farmer would need a minimum of
49 acres to spread that six month's worth of the total waste produced. The farm has more than 107
acres of cropland, pastureland and hayland available.
Sorgham - Sudan or Sudangrass may be used as alternative crops. If used, 220 Ibs of N can be
applied with a RYE of 4 tons of hay produced. The application window would be April through
August.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION:
Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil
and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.
Cook Stewart Farm:
The pump is able to produce a pressure of 62 psi at the RainBird Ring nozzle gun using a
ring size of .870". At this pressure, the gun is putting out 112 GPM with a diameter of 270
feet. A total of 58 acre inches must be applied each year. This is equal to 29 inches every 6
months. Applying waste at .3 inch per hour for 2 hours at a time should not cause any runoff.
Only one cycle may be applied (for a total application time of 2 hours) on the small grain
fields over the course of the year. Two and a half cycles may be applied when sudan is the
crop. At 86.9 Lbs of N per Ac Inch, this will result in applications of N slightly below the RYE
for the crop being used.
(1,583,860 gals _ 27,154 galslac.in = 58 ac.in)
Main Farm:
The pump is able to produce a pressure of 62 psi at the RainBird Ring nozzle gun using a
ring size of .870". At this pressure, the gun is putting out 112 GPM with a diameter of 270
feet. A total of 49 acre inches must be applied each year. This is equal to 24 inches every 6
months. Applying waste at .3 inch per hour for 2 hours at a time should not cause any
runoff. Three cycles may be applied (for a total application time of 6 hours) on the small
grain fields over the course of the year. Four cycles may be applied (for a total application
time of 8 hours) on the pasture fields. At 70.6 Lbs of N per Ac Inch, this will result in
applications of N slightly below the RYE for the crop being used except for the field #7
pasture.
(1,337,648 _ 27,154 galslac.in = 49.3 ac.in produced)
Cooper Farm:The pump is able to produce a pressure of 62 psi at the RainBird Ring nozzle
gun using a ring size of .870". At this pressure, the gun is putting out 112 GPM with a
diameter of 270 feet. A total of 22.9 acre- inches must be applied each year. This is equal
to 11.5 acre- inches every 6 months. Applying waste at .3 inch per hour for 2 hours at a time
should not cause any runoff. Up to six and a half cycles may be applied (for a total
application time of 13 hours) depending on the crop requirements, over the course of the
year. At 40.7 Lbs of N per Ac Inch, this will result in applications of N according to the RYE
for the crop being used.

WAST?UT1L1Z'AT10N*PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
Conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land
application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal
discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the
Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste.
If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall
provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner
who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste
application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of
the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there
is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization,
or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic
crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions,
and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of
application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RS) or
an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no
greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where
runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by
DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian
Forest Buffers.]
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when the wind is blowing.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled
crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not
occur during a season prone to flooding. [See "Weather and Climate in North
Carolina"in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.]
02/28/08 12

WAS?E UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATION
(Continued)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that
runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not
cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to
control conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when
the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall not be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no
more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils
with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should
be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released
nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop
on bare soil.
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance
may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter
strips are present. [See Standard 393 - Filter Strips]
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-
ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands
by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted
wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical
specialist." Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge
directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied
at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc.,
shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system.
02/28/08 13

WAST?UTILIZATION*PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(Continued)
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a
maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm
event in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be
provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation.
Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas
where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible.
Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion,
leakage, or discharge.
19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan"which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should
be kept on site.
21. 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 be applied preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
22. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the
temporary storage (pumping volume) of -all animal 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.
23. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least
annually at crop sites where animal 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 the metals approach excessive levels. Adjust
pH for optimum crop production and maintenance. Soil and Waste analysis records
shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained
for three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for
five years.
24. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Division of Water Quality
April 9, 2003
Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. NCA241002
Ward Farms
Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Guilford County
On March 14, 2003, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued an NPDES General
Permit for swine facilities. The General Permit was issued to enable swine facilities in North Carolina to
obtain coverage under a single permit that addresses both State and' Federal requirements.
In accordance with your application received on March 13, 2003, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to John Ward, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste
collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with NPDES General Permit
NCA200000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your COC Number AWS410002 to
operate under State Non -Discharge Permit AWG100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Ward Farms, located in Guilford County, with an animal capacity of no greater
than an annual average of 4100 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 July 1, 2007. 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

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

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
SWINE WASTE TREATMENT LAGOON #2 (Cook -Stewart Rd. Farm)
Total Storage Volume At Maximum Liquid Level Of This Lagoon: 317,438 cu.ft. (See design)
Minimum Permanent Storage Volume = 297,000 tuft. ACTUAL VOLUME = 211,565 cu.ft.
(This lagoon actually has too little actual treatment volume, so it is operating as a Waste Storage Pond. The nitrogen
content will run higher and this has been taken into consideration.)
Temporary Storage Volume (Waste to be Land Applied):
Temporary Storage includes Animal Waste plus excess rainfall.
Total Amount of Waste to be Pumped: 1,583,860 Gallons of Waste per Year
791.9_30 Gallons of WASTE per 180 Days or
105,873 Cu. Ft. of WASTE per 180 Days or

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 and surface application:

THIS TABLE IS NOT NEEDED IF WASTE IS NOT BEING APPLIED BY IRRIGATION, HOWEVER, A SIMILAR TABLE WILL BE NEEDED FOR DRY LITTER OR SLURRY.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every6 MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of
waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 89.5 or 2.0' below top of Dam.
NOTE: Part of Field 4, Pull 4 may actually be applying waste onto grazed pasture(field #3). This
pasture will take 124 Ibs N at the RYE of 3.3 tons(less 25% for grazing) this is less than the amounts
for Small grain and Soybeans and can be irrigated during the same application windows.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION:
Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (fonnedy Soil Conservation Service) or Soil
and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.
Cook Stewart Farm:
The pump is able to produce a pressure of 62 psi at the RainBird Ring nozzle gun using a
ring size of .870". At this pressure, the gun is putting out 112 GPM with a diameter of 270
feet. A total of 58 acre inches must be applied each year. This is equal to 29 inches every 6
months. Applying waste at .3 inch per hour for 2 hours at a time should not cause any
runoff. Only one cycle may be applied (for a total application time of 2 hours) on the small
grain fields over the course of the year. Two and a half cycles may be applied when sudan is
the crop. At 86.9 Lbs of N per Ac Inch, this will result in applications of N slightly below the
RYE for the crop being used.
(1,583,860 gals + 27,154 gals/ac.in = 58 ac.in)
Main Farm:
The pump is able to produce a pressure of 62 psi at the RainBird Ring nozzle gun using a
ring size of .870". At this pressure, the gun is putting out 112 GPM with a diameter of 270
feet. A total of 49 acre inches must be applied each year. This is equal to 24 inches every 6
months. Applying waste at .3 inch per hour for 2 hours at a time should not cause any
runoff. Three cycles may be applied (for a total application time of 6 hours) on the small
grain fields over the course of the year. Four cycles may be applied (for a total application
time of 8 hours) on the pasture fields. At 70.6 Lbs of N per Ac Inch, this will result in
applications of N slightly below the RYE for the crop being used except for the field #7
pasture.
(1,337,648 _ 27,154 gals/ac.in = 49.3 ac.in produced)
Cooper Farm:The pump is able to produce a pressure of 62 psi at the RainBird Ring nozzle
gun using a ring size of .870". At this pressure, the gun is putting out 112 GPM with a
diameter of 270 feet. A total of 22.9 acre- inches must be applied each year. This is equal
to 11.5 acre- inches every 6 months. Applying waste at .3 inch per hour for 2 hours at a time
should not cause any runoff. Up to six and a half cycles may be applied (for a total
application time of 13 hours) depending on the crop requirements, over the course of the
year. At 40.7 Lbs of N per Ac Inch, this will result in applications of N according to the RYE
for the crop being used.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
Conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land
application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal
discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the
Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer
either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the
waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he
shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a
landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land
for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the
responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization
Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals,
method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic
crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions,
and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of
application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RS)
or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be
no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used
where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will .be in addition to "Buffers"
required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 -. Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) -
Riparian Forest Buffers.]
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when the wind is blowing.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled
crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not
occur during a season prone to flooding. [See "Weather and Climate in North
Carolinanin the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.]

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATION
(Continued)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that
runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not
cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to
control conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when
the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall not be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no
more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils
with'a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should
be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released
nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop
on bare soil.
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance
may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter
strips are present. [See Standard 393 - Filter Strips]
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet 'of dwellings other than those
owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-
ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands
by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted
wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical
specialist." Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge
directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied
at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc.,
shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system.

17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a
maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm
event in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be
provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation.
Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas
where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible.
Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion,
leakage, or discharge.
19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure p/an"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.
21. 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 be applied preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
22. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the
temporary storage (pumping volume) of all animal 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.
23. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least
annually at crop sites where animal 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 the metals approach excessive levels. Adjust
pH for optimum crop production and maintenance. Soil and Waste analysis records
shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained
for three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for
five years.

The Environmental Management Commissions regulations for animal waste
management provides the following information in their Seventh Guidance Memo dated
January 9, 2001:
Animal waste application on fescue grass may begin on August 1 and end on July 31.
This means animal waste may be applied to fescue throughout the year
There are two exceptions.
Exceptions:
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.

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

Using the crop with the most limiting N requirement, small grain, the farmer would need a minimum of
49 acres to spread that six month's worth of the total waste produced. The farm has more than 107
acres of cropland, pastureland and hayland available.
Sorgham - Sudan or Sudangrass may be used as alternative crops. If -used, 220 lbs of N can be
applied with a RYE of 4 tons of hay produced. The application window would be April through
August.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION:
Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil
and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.
Cook Stewart Farm:
The pump is able to produce a pressure of 62 psi at the RainBird Ring nozzle gun using a
ring size of .870". At this pressure, the gun is putting out 112 GPM with a diameter of 270
feet. A total of 58 acre inches must be applied each year. This is equal to 29 inches every 6
months. Applying waste at .3 inch per hour for 2 hours at a time should not cause any runoff.
Only one cycle may be applied (for a total application time of 2 hours) on the small grain
fields over the course of the year. Two and a half cycles may be applied when sudan is the
crop. At 86.9 Lbs of N per Ac Inch, this will result in applications of N slightly below the RYE
for the crop being used.
(1,583,860 gals + 27,154 galslac.in r 58 ac.in)
Main Farm:
The pump is able to produce a pressure of 62 psi at the RainBird Ring nozzle gun using a
ring size of .870". At this pressure, the gun is putting out 112 GPM with a diameter of 270
feet. A total of 49 acre inches must be applied each year. This is equal to 24 inches every 6
months. Applying waste at .3 inch per hour for 2 hours at a time should not cause any
runoff. Three cycles may be applied (for a total application time of 6 hours) on the small
grain fields over the course of the year. Four cycles may be applied (for a total application
time of 8 hours) on the pasture fields. At 70.6 Lbs of N per Ac Inch, this will result in
applications of N slightly below the RYE for the crop being used except for the field #7
pasture.
(1,337,648 + 27,154 galslac.in = 49.3 ac.in produced)
Cooper Farm:The pump is able to produce a pressure of 62 psi at the RainBird Ring nozzle
gun using a ring size of .870". At this pressure, the gun is putting out 112 GPM with a
diameter of 270 feet. A total of 22.9 acre- inches must be applied each year. This is equal
to 11.5 acre- inches every 6 months. Applying waste at .3 inch per hour for 2 hours at a time
should not cause any runoff. Up to six and a half cycles may be applied (for a total
application time of 13 hours) depending on the crop requirements, over the course of the
year. At 40.7 Lbs of N per Ac Inch, this will result in applications of N according to the RYE
for the crop being used.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
Conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land
application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. illegal
discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the
Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste.
If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall
provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner
who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste
application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of
the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there
Is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization,
or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic
crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions,
and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of
application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RS) or
an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no
greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where
runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be In addition to "Buffers" required by
DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian
Forest Buffers.]
S. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when the wind is blowing.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil
Incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled
crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not
occur during a season prone to flooding. [See "Weather and Climate in North
Carolina'7in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.]

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATION
(Continued)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil Infiltration rate such that
runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and In a method which does not
cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to
control conditions conducive to odor or files and provide uniformity of application.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when
the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall not be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that no
more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils
with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should
be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released
nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop
on bare soil.
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance
may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter
strips are present. [See Standard 393 - FilterS&W]
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-
ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands
by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted
wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical
specialist." Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge
directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied
at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc.,
shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system.

17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a
maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm
event in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be
provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation.
Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas
where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible.
Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion,
leakage, or discharge.
19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan"which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be Inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should
be kept on site.
21. 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 be applied preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
22. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the
temporary storage (pumping volume) of all animal 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.
23. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least
annually at crop sites where animal 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 the metals approach excessive levels. Adjust
pH for optimum crop production and maintenance. Soil and Waste analysis records
shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained
for three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for
five years.
24. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

(Design capacity)
The Waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should
be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields
where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting
nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are
strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the
crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to
maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an
environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can
utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall
not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special
precautions, waste maybe applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do
not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either
of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM
regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the
potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare
ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve
nutrients and reduce odor problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis
report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper
sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A
NCAC 21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

-this N is from animal waste only. If nutrients from other sources such as commercial fertilizer are applied, they must be accounted for. N must be
based on realistic yield expectation. NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K maybe over applied while meeting the N requirements.
Beginning in 1996 the Coastal Zone Management Act will require farmers in some eastern counties of North Carolina to have a nutrient management
plan that addresses all nutrients. `Ibis plan only addresses Nitrogen. **Double Crop *"Alternate crop

Your facility is designed for 120 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 4 MONTHS. In no instance should the
volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 104.5
Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil
and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION:
The pump is able to produce a pressure of 62 psi at the RainBlyd Ringrozzle gun using a ring size of .870". At this pressure,
the gun is putting oull 12 GPMwith a diameter of 270 feet. A total of 82.5 acre inches must be applied each year. This is
equal to 27.5 inches every 4 months, Applying waste at .3 inch per hourfor 2 hours at a time should not cause any runof.
Two and one half cyclesmay he applied (for a total application time of 5 hours) on the small grain fields over the course
ofthe year. Three and a hay4vles may be pplied on field #2 when sudan is the crop. At 62 Lbs of N per Ac Inch, this will

WASTE AILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
Conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application.
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are
subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of
Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer
either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste.
If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide
NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within
a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life
expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to
secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation,
increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic
crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other
nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RS)
or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no
greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff
leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. [See
FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.]
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when the wind is blowing.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops
or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a
season prone to flooding. [See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the Technical
Reference - Environment file for guidance.]
8

WASTLOUTILIZATIOTfPLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATION
(Continued)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that
runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions
conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when
the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall not be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that
no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils
with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held
to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste
shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil.
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance
may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips
are present. [See Standard 393 - Filter Strips]
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-
ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands
by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted
wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical
specialist." Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge
directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at
agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc.,
shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system.
E

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(Continued)
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a
maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in
addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be
provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation.
Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where
considered appropriate. 'Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms
and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be
kept on site.

1) A 4" x 4" treated post, painted white or a 9-- diameter
schedule 40 PVC pipe with cape shall be placed at the
maximum liquid level at elevation fie[ wup
At no time should the effluent level rise above the maximum
liquid level, which is I,j' feet below the settled top
of dam.
2) A visual inspection of the waste storage pond will be
performed at least twice a year. The inspector should check
the condition of the dam and the emergency spillway. The
inspector will need to look close for signs of slope failure
or seepage on the back slope and toe of dam.' Also, a very
close look will need to be made to check for signs of animal
damage, ground hogs, muskrats, etc. Any problem found
should be brought to the attention of the technical
specialist for repair recommendations.
3) The waste storage pond will need to be mowed twice a
year. All eroded areas or areas that do not have complete
vegetative cover will be reseeded. The dam and all
constructed slopes will need to be fertilized annually with
500 pounds of 10-10-10 per acre or its equivalent.
4) Maintain all waste handling equipment pumping, loading,
hauling, spreading, etc. in accordance with owners manual.
5) All waste application shall be completed in accordance
with the waste utilization plan. The waste storage pond
will be emptied at the end of each deli n torage period.
This structure is designed for j days.
See the attached NC Agricultural Extension Service Agri -
Waste Management Publication by Dr. James C. Barker for

The Waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should
be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields
where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting
nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are
strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the
crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to
maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an
environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can
utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall
not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special
precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do
not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either
of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM
regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the
potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare
ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve
nutrients and reduce odor problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis
report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper
sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the re uir ibDt:,(VV6mpliance with 15A
NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Manaijftftt'j�i.

NARRATIVE OF OPERATION:
The pump is able to produce a pressure of 62 psi at the RainBird Ring nozzle gun using a ring size
of. 8 70 ". At this pressure, the gun is putting out 112 GPM with a diameter of 270 feet. A total of
58 acre inches must be applied each year. This is equal to 29 inches every 6 months. Applying
waste at .3 inch per hour for 2 hours at a time should not cause any runoff. Only one cycle maybe
applied (for a total application time of 2 hours) on the small grain fields over the course of the year.
Two and a half cycles may be applied when Sudan is the crop. At 144 Lb s of N per Ac Inch, this will
result in applications of N slightly below the RYE for the crop being used

WASTE ILIZATIONtLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
Conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application.
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are
subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of
Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer
either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste.
If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide
MRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within
a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life
expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to
secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation,
increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic
crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other
nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RS)
or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no
greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff
leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. [See
FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.]
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when the wind is blowing.
b. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops
or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a
season prone to flooding. [See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the Technical
Reference - Environment file for guidance.]

WAST? UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATION
(Continued)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that
runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions
conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application.
S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when
the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall not be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that
no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils
with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held
to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste
shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil.
it. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance
may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips
are present. [See Standard 393 - Filter Strips]
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-
ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands
by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted
wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical
specialist." Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge
directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at
agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc.,
shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system.

17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a
maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in
addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be
provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation.
Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc, are limited to areas where
considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms
and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be
kept on site.

Number of Animals: 4100 Feeder to Finish
(Design Capacity)
The Waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should
be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields
where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting
nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are
strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the
crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to
maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an
environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can
utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally waste shall
not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special
precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do
not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either
of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters vfffcO al Nqt ®slowed under DEM
regulations. Wind conditions should also be cons idereNc 9v8F&arWCdiTd downwind odor
problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop r Otl and to reduce the
potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a$10� or applied to bare
ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injectin9cw9j, , pt la �d�sking will conserve
nutrients and reduce odor problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content
for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis
report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper
sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A
NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Your facility is designed for 1880. -^ 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 exceed Elevation 104.5
Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil
and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.
NARRATI VE OF OPERATION:
The pump is able to prodnrce a pressure of 62 psi at the RainBird Ring nozzle gun using a ring sire
of.870". At this pressure, the gun is patting out 112 GPM with a diameter of 270 feet. A total of
58 acre inches must be applied each year. This is equal to 29 inches every 6 months. Applying
waste at. 3 inch per hour for 2 hours at a time should not cause any runoff. Only one cycle may be
applied (for a total application time of 2 hours) on the small grain fields over the coarse of the year.
Two card a half cycles may be applied when sudrnr is the crop. At 144 Lbs of N per A Inch, this will
result in applications of N slightly below the RYE for the crop being used

WASTE PTILIZATIOI�*IVLAN
REQUIRED SIPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
Conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application.
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are
subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of
Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer
either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste.
If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide
MRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within
a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life
expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to
secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation,
increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic
crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other
nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RS)
or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no
greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff
leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. [See
FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.]
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when the wind is blowing.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops
or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does, not occur during a
season prone to flooding. [See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the Technical
Reference - Environment file for guidance.]
E:

WASA UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATION
(Continued)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that
runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions
conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when
the surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall not be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that
no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils
with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held
to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste
shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil.
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance
may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips
are present. [See Standard 393 - Filter Strips]
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-
ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands
by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted
wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical
specialist." Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge
directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at
agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc.,
shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(Continued)
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a
maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in
addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be
provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation.
Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where
considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms
and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or tenninated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be
kept on site.
