Animal Waste Operation
Guilford County
In accordance with your permit renewal application received April 2, 2015, we are forwarding herewith
Permit No. AWN 10018, dated June 5, 2015 to Bowman Dairy, Inc. authorizing the operation of an animal waste
collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with this permit. .
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until May 31, 2020, shall hereby void Pert -nit
Number AW1410018 dated May 18, 2005, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified
therein.
Please pay particular attention to the monitoring requirements in this permit. Failure to establish an
adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required operational information will result in future
compliance problems. Any increase in now or increase in stocked animals above the listed values in this permit
will require a modification to this permit and shall be completed prior to Actual increase in either flow or number
of animals.
Please also note that many conditions in this permit have either been modified or added for clarity and
inclusion of the additional requirements. This includes change in NRCS nutrient management standard as it
relates to phosphorous evaluation (Condition LS) and the restrictions on waste application in case of inclement
weather alerts such as hurricane warning, tropical storm warning, or a flood watch associated with a tropical
system (Condition II.22) that are included in this permit.
Please pay careful attention to the record keeping and monitoring conditions in this permit. Since your
Waste Utilization Plan includes waste generated from an ice cream parlor, careful evaluation of future waste
samples, especially plant available nitrogen, is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste
Utilization Plan is inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the right to
request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within 30 days following receipt of this pert -nit, This request
must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of North Carolina General Statutes, and
filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714.

FOR THE
continued operation of an animal waste collection, treatment, and land application system with an animal capacity
of no greater than an annual average of 225 dairy cattle, and a milking and ice cream parlor from which the waste
will be stored and treated in the animal waste treatment system, with no discharge of wastes to the surface waters,
pursuant to the application received April 2, 2015, and in conformity with the project plan, specifications, and
other supporting data subsequently tiled and approved by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
and considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until May 31, 2020, and shall be subject to the following
specified conditions and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
Any discharge of waste that reaches surface waters or wetlands is prohibited except as otherwise
provided in this Pennit and associated statutory and regulatory provisions. Waste shall not reach
surface waters or wetlands by runoff, drift, manmade conveyance, direct application, direct
discharge or through ditches not otherwise classified as state waters.
The waste collection, treatment_, storage and application system operated under this Pennit shall
be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent the discharge of
pollutants to surface waters or wetlands. Application of waste to terraces and grassed waterways
is acceptable as long as it is applied in accordance with Natural Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS) Standards and does not result in a discharge of waste to surface waters or wetlands.
Facilities must be designed, constructed and operated to contain all waste plus the runoff from a
25-year, 24-hour rainfall event for the location of the facility. A facility that has a discharge of
waste that results because of a storm event more severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm will not
be considered to be in violation of this Pennit if the facility is in compliance with its Certified
Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) and this Permit.
Any discharge or application of waste to a ditch that drains to surface waters or wetlands is
prohibited except as follows: (a) discharges from the ditches are controlled by best management
practices (BMPs) designed in accordance with NRCS standards; (b) the BMPs have been
submitted to and approved by the Division of Water Resources (Division); (c) the BMPs were
implemented as designed to prevent a discharge to surface waters or wetlands; (d) the waste was
removed immediately from the ditch upon discovery; and (e) the event was documented and
reported in accordance with Part 111.13. of this Pert -nit. Nothing in this exception shall excuse a
discharge to surface waters or wetlands except as may result because of rainfall from a storm
event more severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm.
This Permit does not allow the Permittee to cause a violation of any of the water quality standards
established pursuant to Title l 5A, Subchapter 2B of the North Carolina Administrative Code and

to enforcement actions.
Any violation of ihis Permit may result in the Permittee having to take immediate or long-term
corrective action(s) as required by the Division. These actions may include but are not limited to:
modifying the CAWMP; ceasing land application of waste; removing animals from the facility;
or the permit being reopened and modified, revoked and reissued, and/or terminated.
4. Any proposed increase or modification to the annual average design capacity from that authorized
by the permit will require a modification to the CAWMP and the permit prior to modification of
the facility.
Facilities located in watersheds sensitive to nutrient enrichment may be notified by the Division
to conduct an evaluation of the facility and its CAWMP to determine the facility's ability to
comply with the NRCS nutrient management 'standard as it relates to phosphorous. This
evaluation will not be required until such time as the permittee is notified by the Division. The
evaluation must be documented on forms supplied by or approved by the Division and must be
submitted to the Division. This evaluation must be completed by existing facilities within twelve
(12) months of receiving notification from the Division.
For facilities located in watersheds sensitive to nutrient enrichment, all fields with a "HIGH"
phosphorous -loss assessment rating shall have land application rates that do not exceed the
established crop removal rate for phosphorous. There shall be no waste application on fields with
a "VERY HIGH" phosphorous -loss assessment rating.

VII. DEFINITIONS
25-year, 24-hour rainfall or storm event means the maximum 24-hour precipitation event with a
probable recurrence interval of once in 25 years, as defined by the National Weather Service in Technical
Paper Number 40, `Rainfall Frequency Atlas of the United States," May 1961, and subsequent
amendments, or equivalent regional or state rainfall probability information developed therefrom.
Agronomic rates means the amount of animal waste and/or other nutrient sources to be land applied to
lands as contained in the nutrient management standard of the USDA Soil Conservation Service
Technical Guide Section IV or as recommended by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and
Consumer Services and the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service at the time of certification of
the Animal Waste Management Plan by the appropriate technical specialist.
Amendment to the CAWMP means a change and/or addition to a part(s) of the plan, and requires that the
change and/or addition adhere to current applicable standards, The following are examples of
amendments to the CAWMP:
• In an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes 25% or less of the N
generated is considered a plan amendment. Additional acreage needed to facilitate the change in
crops and/or cropping pattern is permissible and considered part of the amendment.
• The addition of winter crops and/or interseeded perennial crops are considered amendments to an
existing CAWMP when the operation does not require additional acreage and/or crops for N
utilization, and does not exceed the 25% criteria stated above.
• When a CAWMP cannot meet N utilization requirements due to land lost to irrigation inefficiency
(usable versus total acres), then the CAWMP may be amended to increase available acreage and/or
change the crop for N utilization. This is the only exception to the 25% N criteria for plan revision.
• Inclusions of emergency action plans, and insect, odor and, mortality checklists are considered
CAWMP amendments.
• Including additional acreage for land application beyond what is required in the existing CAWMP is
considered a plan amendment.
Animal feeding operation means a lot or facility (other than an aquatic animal production facility) where
the following conditions are met: (i) animals (other than aquatic animals) have been, are, or will be
stabled or confined and fed or maintained for a total of forty five (45) days or more in any twelve (12)
month period, and (ii) crops, vegetation, forage growth, or post -harvest residues are not sustained in the
normal growing season over any portion of the lot or facility. Two or more animal feeding operations
under common ownership are considered to be a single animal feeding operation if they adjoin.each other,
or if they use a common area or system for the disposal of wastes.
Ditch means any man made channel for the purpose of moving water off a site to the surface waters.
Excessive Ponding means any area of the application field where visible liquid waste is ponded on the
surface of the land application site more than four (4) hours following the application of waste. Excessive
ponding also means any areas where the ponding of waste has resulted in crop failure.
Groundwaters means any subsurface waters, as defined in 15A NCAC 2L .0102
Land application means the application of wastewater and/or waste solids onto or incorporation into the
soil.
13
Major changes to the CAWMP means changes in the number of animals, type of operation (feeder to
finish to wean to feeder), retrofit of a storage pond, installation of a new irrigation system, and similar
type changes. Recertification is only required for major changes to the CAWMP. Major changes to a
facility must first be approved by DWQ. The new CAWMP and the certification shall be submitted with a
request that the permit be amended to reflect the changes. The facility may not make the changes until a
new or amended permit has been issued.
Revision to the CAWMP means a change to an entire CAWMP to meet current applicable standards. A
CAWMP must be revised if the operation cannot utilize all N nitrogen generated by the animal production
in accordance with the existing CAWMP, except for the specific conditions. noted in the CAWMP
amendment criteria as previously defined. For an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping
pattern that utilizes more than 25% of -the N generated by the operation is considered a plan revision. Any
change to an existing-CAWMP, whether an amendment or revision, must be signed and dated by both the
producer and a technical specialist for the new CAWMP to be valid. A revision of the CAWMP does not
require recertification.
State Waters means all surface waters, wetlands, groundwaters and waters of the United States located in
the State.
Surface Waters means any stream, river, brook, swamp, lake, sound, tidal estuary, bay, creek, reservoir,
waterway, or other surface body or surface accumulation of water, whether public or private, or natural or
artificial, that is contained in, flows through, or borders upon any portion of the State of North Carolina,
including any portion of the Atlantic Ocean over which the State has jurisdiction as well as any additional
Waters of the United States which are located in the State.
Waste means manure, other animal waste, any process water as a byproduct of milk production, bottling
and ice cream making activity, and sludge generated at an animal feeding operation.
Wetlands means areas that are inundated or saturated by an accumulation of surface or groundwater at a
frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances do support a prevalence of
vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions, as defined in 15A NCAC 2B .0202.
This Permit issued the fifth day of June, 2015.

Narrative
This Dairy bottles its own milk and makes ice cream for sale. they are penniited, certified and licensed
to distribute milk to local grocery stores as well as selling milk, butter and.ice cream direct from their
own storefront connected to the dairy operation.
t;The MILK bottling;produces approximately 1500 gallons of wash and rinse water per day. The rinse
water rriay confaifi ssoap and trce amounts of milk products. The ice cream wash and rinse water may
produce up to 2.5 gallons per day and contain soap with trace amounts of ice-cream, flavorings and sugar.
The bottling and ice cream production operations take place only on weekdays, not on weekends.
WASTE APPLICATION:
The'lfolding pond receives all waste from milking parlor, small unroofed areas of holding lot, walkways,
and the water used in bottling and ice cream operation. There is a new roofed dry pack barn that will
hold MOST of waste. This waste will be applied with solids manure spreader. this spreader holds-- - -- -
approximately 29,000 lbs, or 14.5 tons of manure and bedding.
The irrigation system will be used on fields of corn, small grains, hay and pasture. The operator is using
a traveling,gun to apply the waste to 75.0 acres of effective coverage. The Lrun, a Nelson SR 200 w/ring
nozzle, will be applying 0.4 inches/hour at a pump pressure of 90 psi. Ayt a travel speed of 4.3 ft/min,
the operator will be applying .5 inches and 13,577 gallons per acre. At the pond's 981,592 gallon max.
capacity there.will be a maximum of 36 ac-inches to be applied every 6 months.. However, actual
application by irrigation should be considerably less, with the new dry pack barn in use.

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.

The Irrigation Application Factors for each field in this plan are shown in the following table. Infiltration rate varies
with soils. If applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system, you must apply at a rate that will not result in
runoff. This table provides the maximum application rate per hour that may be applied to each held selected to
receive wastewater. It also lists the maximum application amount that each field may receive in any one application
event.

NOTE: Symbol * means user entered data.
The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number ofdays of storage
capacity available at the end of each month of the plan. Available storage capacity is calculated as the
design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start
date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in
the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero.
Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less ,than or equal to the design
storage capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage
capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated.
If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design
storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval
in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
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 that reaches surface
water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer
either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to
properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to
properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an
agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity,
allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the
responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an
update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the
operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application,
receiving crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs
for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical
data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are
regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre
per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per
acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter
strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field
Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste
application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger.of drift
from the land application field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste
will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland When waste is
applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be
broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone
to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance).
------- - - -------------- -----------p--------------
684345 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 1/21/2015 Specification Page
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.
S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall
events, or when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner
that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit
growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be
considered.
10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring
planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient
loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable
winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not
be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages
breaking dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with
the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is
applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least
50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste,
other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995,
shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other
than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and
public right-of-ways.
684345 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 1/21/2015 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.
lb. 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.
684345 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 1/21/2015 Specification Patre 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.

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing, or running off site. You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters or
leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to
ensure that this does not happen. This plan .should be posted in an accessible location for all
employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should take.
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible.
Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below.
A, Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are:
a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam.
b. Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B. Runoff from waste application field -actions include:
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
c. _Incorporate waste,to reduce runoff.

Animal Waste Operation
Guilford County
In accordance with your permit renewal application received, December 10, 2009, we are forwarding
herewith Permit No. AW1410018, dated January 15, 2010 to Christopher and David R. Bowman authorizing the
operation of an animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with this
permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until December 31, 2014, shall hereby void
Permit Number AWI41001$ dated May 1$, 2005, and shall be su Jec o e Coll loons and limitations as
specified therein.
Please pay particular attention to the monitoring requirements in this permit. Failure to establish an
adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required operational information will result in future
compliance problems. Any increase in flow or increase in stocked animals above the listed values in this permit
will require a modification to this permit and shall be completed prior to actual increase in either flow or number
of animals.
Please also note that many conditions in this permit have either been modified or added for clarity and
inclusion of the additional requirements. This includes change in NRCS nutrient management standard as it
relates to phosphorous evaluation (Condition L5) and the restrictions on waste application in case of
inclement weather alerts such as hurricane warning, tropical storm warning, or a flood watch associated with
a tropical system (Condition 11.22) that are included in this permit.
Please pay careful attention to the record keeping and monitoring conditions in this permit. Since your
Waste Utilization Plan includes waste generated from an ice cream arior, careful evaluation of future waste
samples, especially plant available nitrogen, is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste
Utilization Plan is inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the right to
request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within 30 days following receipt of this permit. This
request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of North Carolina General
Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North
Carolina 27699-6714. Unless such demands are made, this permit shall be final and binding.

RALEIGH
CATTLE WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM INDIVIDUAL PERMIT
In accordance with the provisions of Article 21 of Chapter 143, General Statutes of North Carolina as amended,
and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
Bowman Dairy, Inc.
Guilford County
FOR THE
continued operation of an animal waste collection, treatment, and land application system with an animal
capacity of no greater than an annual average 9 25 dairy cattle, and a milking and ice cream parlor from which
the waste will be stored and treated in the animal waste treatment system, with no discharge of wastes to the
surface waters, pursuant to the application received December 10, 2009, and in conformity with the project plan;
specifications, and other supporting data subsequently filed and approved by the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources and considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until December 31, 2014, and shall be subject to the
following specified conditions and limitations;
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
Any discharge of waste that reaches surface waters or wetlands is prohibited except as otherwise
provided in this Permit and associated statutory and regulatory provisions. Waste shall not reach
surface waters or wetlands by runoff, drift, manmade conveyance, direct application, direct
discharge or through ditches not otherwise classified as state waters.
The waste collection, treatment, storage and application 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 or wetlands. Application of waste to terraces and grassed waterways
is acceptable as long as it is applied in accordance with Natural Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS) Standards and does not result in a discharge of waste to surface waters or wetlands.
Facilities must be designed, constructed and operated to contain all waste plus the runoff from a
25-year, 24-hour rainfall event for the location of the facility. A facility that has a discharge of
waste that results because of a storm event more severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm will not
be considered to be in violation of this Permit if the facility is in compliance with its Certified
Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) and this Permit.
Any discharge or application of waste to a ditch that drains to surface waters or wetlands is
prohibited except as follows: (a) discharges from the ditches are controlled by best management
practices (BMPs) designed in accordance with NRCS standards; (b) the BMPs have been
submitted to and approved by the Division of Water Quality (Division); (c) the BMPs were
implemented as designed to prevent a discharge to surface waters or wetlands; (d) the waste was
removed immediately from the ditch upon discovery; and (e) the event was documented and
reported in accordance with Part II1.13. of this Permit. Nothing in this exception shall excuse a
discharge to surface waters or wetlands except as may result because of rainfall from a storm
event more severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm.
This Permit does not allow the Permittee to cause a violation of any of the water quality
standards established pursuant to Title 15A, Subchapter 2B of the North Carolina Administrative
Code and Title 15A, Subchapter 2L of the North Carolina Administrative Code.
The facility's CAWMP is hereby incorporated by reference into this Permit. The CAWMP must
be consistent with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances, and standards (federal, state and local)
in effect at the time of siting, design and certification of the facility.
The Permittee must assess, on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of the implementation of the
CAWMP. The Permittee must make "major changes," "revisions," or "amendments" to the
CAWMP, as defined in Section VI1, "Definitions," of this Permit, in order to address any
changes needed to maintain compliance with this Permit. "Major changes," "revisions," and
"amendments" to the CAWMP must be documented, dated, and included as part of the CAWMP.
"Major changes"' and "revisions" to the CAWMP shall be submitted to the appropriate Division
Regional Office within thirty (30) calendar days of the "major change" or "revision."
"Amendments" are not required to be submitted to the Division Regional Office unless
specifically requested by the Division. If field, riser or pull numbers are changed, an explanation
shall also be submitted and include a description of how the new numbers relate to the old
numbers. Any violation of the CAWMP shall be considered a violation of this Permit and subject
to enforcement actions.
Any violation of this Permit may result in the Permittee having to take immediate or long-term
corrective action(s) as required by the Division. These actions may include but are not limited
to: modifying the CAWMP; ceasing land application of waste; removing animals from the
facility; or the permit being reopened and modified, revoked and reissued, and/or terminated.
Any proposed increase or modification to the annual average design capacity from that
authorized by the permit will require a modification to the CAWMP and the permit prior to
modification of the facility.
Facilities located in watersheds sensitive to nutrient enrichment may be notified by the Division
to conduct an evaluation of the facility and its CAWMP to determine the facility's ability to
comply with the NRCS nutrient management standard as it relates to phosphorous. This
evaluation will not be required until such time as the permittee is notified by the Division. The
evaluation must be documented on forms supplied by or approved by the Division and must be
submitted to the Division. This evaluation must be completed by existing facilities within twelve
(12) months of receiving notification from the Division.

VII. DEFINITIONS
25-year, 24-hour rainfall or storm event means the maximum 24-hour precipitation event with a
probable recurrence interval of once in 25 years, as defined by the National Weather Service in Technical
Paper Number 40, "Rainfall Frequency Atlas of the United States," May 1961, and subsequent
amendments, or equivalent regional or state rainfall probability information developed therefrom.
Agronomic rates means the amount of animal waste and/or other nutrient sources to be land applied to
lands as contained in the nutrient management standard of the USDA Soil Conservation Service
Technical Guide Section IV or as recommended by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and
Consumer Services and the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service at the time of certification of
the Animal Waste Management Plan by the appropriate technical specialist.
Amendment to the CAWMP means a change and/or addition to a part(s) of the plan, and requires that
the change and/or addition adhere to current applicable standards. The following are examples of
amendments to the CAWMP:
• In an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes 25% or less of the N
generated is considered a plan amendment. Additional acreage needed to facilitate the change in
crops and/or cropping pattern is permissible and considered part of the amendment.
• The addition of winter crops and/or interseeded perennial crops are considered amendments to an
existing CAWMP when the operation does not require additional acreage and/or crops for N
utilization, and does not exceed the 25% criteria stated above.
• When a CAWMP cannot meet N utilization requirements due to land lost to irrigation inefficiency
(usable versus total acres), then the CAWMP may be amended to increase available acreage and/or
change the crop for N utilization. This is the only exception to the 25% N criteria for plan revision.
• Inclusions of emergency action plans, and insect, odor and mortality checklists are considered
CAWMP amendments.
• Including additional acreage for land application beyond what is required in the existing CAWMP is
considered a plan amendment.
Animal feeding operation means a lot or facility (other than an aquatic animal production facility)
where the following conditions are met: (i) animals.(other than aquatic animals) have been, are, or will be
stabled or confined and fed or maintained for a total of forty five (45) days or more in any twelve (12)
month period, and (ii) crops, vegetation, forage growth, or post -harvest residues are not sustained in the
normal growing season over any portion of the lot or facility. Two or more animal feeding operations
under common ownership are considered to be a single animal feeding operation if they adjoin each
other, or if they use a common area or system for the disposal of wastes.
Ditch means any man made channel for the purpose of moving water off a site to the surface waters.
Excessive Ponding means any area of the application field where visible liquid waste,is ponded on the
surface of the land application site more than four (4) hours following the application of waste.
Excessive ponding also means any areas where the ponding of waste has resulted in crop failure.
Groundwaters means any subsurface waters, as defined in l 5A NCAC 2L .0102.
Land application means the application of wastewater and/or waste solids onto or incorporation into the
soil.
13
Major changes to the CAWMP means changes in the number of animals, type of operation (feeder to
finish to wean to feeder), retrofit of a storage pond, installation of a new irrigation system, and similar
type changes. Recertification is only required for major changes to the CAWMP. Major changes to a
facility must first be approved by DWQ. The new CAWMP and the certification shall be submitted with
a request that the permit be amended to reflect the changes. The facility may not make the changes until a
new or amended permit has been issued.
Revision to the CAWMP means a change to an entire CAWMP to meet current applicable standards. A
CAWMP must be revised if the operation cannot utilize all N nitrogen generated by the animal
production in accordance with the existing CAWMP, except for the specific conditions noted in the
CAWMP amendment criteria as previously defined. For an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or
cropping pattern that utilizes more than 25% of the N generated by the operation is considered a plan
revision. Any change to an existing CAWMP, whether an amendment or revision, must be signed and
dated by both the producer and a technical specialist for the new CAWMP to be valid. A revision of the
CAWMP does not require recertification.
State Waters means all surface waters, wetlands, groundwaters and waters of the United States located
in the State.
Surface Waters means any stream, river, brook, swamp, lake, sound, tidal estuary, bay, creek, reservoir,
waterway, or other surface body or surface accumulation of water, whether public or private, or natural
or artificial, that is contained in, flows through, or borders upon any portion of the State of North
Carolina. including any portion of the Atlantic Ocean over which the State has jurisdiction as well as any
additional Waters of the United States which are located in the State.
Waste means manure, other animal waste, any process water as a byproduct of milk production, bottling
and ice cream making activity, and sludge generated at an animal feeding operation.
Wetlands means areas that are inundated or saturated by an accumulation of surface or groundwater at a
frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances do support a prevalence of
vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions, as defined in 15A NCAC 2B .0202.

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 conseNe 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.

NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
Milk Bottling and Ice Cream Production. -
This dairy bottles its own milk and makes ice cream for sale. They are permitted, certified and
licensed to distribute milk to local grocery stores as well as selling milk, butter and ice cream
direct from their own storefront connected to the dairy operation. The milk bottling produces
approximately 1500 gallons of wash and rinse water per day. This rinse water may contain
soap and trace amounts of milk products. The ice cream wash and rinse water may produce up
to 2.5 gallons per day and contain soap with trace amounts of ice cream, flavorings and sugar.
The bottling and ice cream production operations take place only on weekdays, not on the
weekends.
Waste Application:
The irrigation system will be used on fields of corn, small grains, hay and pasture. The holding
pond receives all waste from the feed lot, milking parlor, and free -stall barn. It will receive the
water used in proposed bottling operation. The operator is using a traveling gun to apply the
waste to 74.9 acres of effective coverage. The gun, a Nelson SR 200 w/ ring nozzle, will be
applying .4 inch/hour at a pump pressure of 90 psi. At a travel speed of 4.3 fUrninute, the
operator will be applying .5 inch and 13,577 gallons per acre. At the holding pond's 981,592
gallon maximum capacity there will be a maximum of 36 acre -inches to be applied every6
months. However, according to the amount of waste produced, the Irrigation System will be
used to apply approximately only 75.1 ac.-inches/year or 33.7 ac-in per 164-day cycle. See
pages 2, 3 & 4. Land is available to apply 75 ac-in per year.
Total wetted acres = 74.9 acres.
Orchardgrass for hay may be planted in any of the above cropped fields.
Apply at 225 lbs. Of N per acre or 2.1 inches, irrigated.

Your facility is designed for 164 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be
removed on the average of once every 5.4 MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of waste
being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 97.2 , or 1.77' below the Top of the Dam.
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.
Bowman Dairy 04/27/05 6
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.
C. 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.]
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.
Bowman Dairy 04/27/05
.)
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(Continued)
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 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 live years.
24. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
PROJECT 1 FARM NAME: _ Bowman Dairy
FACILITY #: 41-18
DATE: 05-09-96
1.. A 3" - 4" diameter white PVC pipe with a cap shall be placed at the maximum liquid
level at elevation 97.2 . At no time should the effluent level rise above the
maximum liquid level, which is 1.77 feet below the settled top of the 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 if applicable. The inspector will need to look close for signs of slope failure
or seepage on the back slope and toe of the dam. Also, a very close look will need
to be made to check for signs of animal damage, ground hogs, muskrats, etc. Any
problems 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 lbs. Of 10-10-10
per acre or its equivalent.
4. Maintain all waste handling equipment used for pumping, loading, hauling,
spreading, etc. in accordance with owner's manuals.
5. All waste application shall be completed in accordance with the waste utilization
plan. The waste storage ponds will be emptied at the end of each design storage
period. These structures are designed for 180 days.
See attached NC Agriculture Extension Service Waste Management Publication by Dr.
James C. Barker for information on sampling and testing of the effluent.

and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
Bowman Dairy, Inc,
Guilford County
FOR THE
continued operation of an animal waste collection, treatment, and land application system with an animal
capacity of no greater than an annual average of 225 dairy cattle, and a milking and ice cream parlor from which
the waste will be stored and treated in the animal waste treatment system, with no discharge of wastes to the
surface waters, pursuant to the application received May 3, 2005, and in conformity with the project plan,
specifications, and other supporting data subsequently filed and approved by the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources and considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until April 30, 20I0, and shall be subject to the following
specified conditions and limitations:
1. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
Any discharge of waste that reaches surface waters or wetlands is prohibited except as otherwise
provided in this Permit and associated statutory and regulatory provisions. Waste shall not reach
surface waters or wetlands by runoff, drift, manmade conveyance, direct application, direct
discharge or through ditches not otherwise classified as state waters.
The wastc collection, treatment, storage and application 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 or wetlands. Application of waste to terraces and grassed waterways
is acceptable as long as it is applied in accordance with Natural Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS) Standards and does not result in a discharge of waste to surface waters or wetlands.
Facilities must be designed, constructed and operated to contain all waste plus the runoff from a
25-year, 24-hour rainfall event for the location of the facility. A facility that has a discharge of
waste that results because of a storm event more severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm will not
be considered to be in violation of this Permit if the facility is in compliance with its Certified
Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) and this Permit.
Any discharge or application of waste to a ditch that drains to surface waters or wetlands is
prohibited except as follows: (a) discharges from the ditches are controlled by best management
practices (BMPs) designed in accordance with NRCS standards; (b) the BMPs have been
submitted to and approved by the Division of Water Quality (Division); (c) the BMPs were
implemented as designed to prevent a discharge to surface waters or wetlands; (d) the waste was
removed immediately from the ditch upon discovery; and (e) the event was documented and
reported in accordance with Part 11I.13. of this Permit. Nothing in this exception shall excuse a
discharge to surface waters or wetlands except as may result because of rainfall from a storm
event more severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm.
No discharge of waste shall result in a violation of the water quality standards established for the
receiving waters as per Title 15A, Subchapter 213, Section .0200 of the North Carolina
Administrative Code and Title 15A, Subchapter 2L of the North Carolina Administrative Code.
The facility's CAWMP is hereby incorporated by reference into this Permit. The CAWMP must
be consistent with all applicable laws, rules, ordinances, and standards (federal, state and local)
in effect at the time of siting, design and certification of the facility.
The Permittee must assess, on an ongoing basis, the effectiveness of the implementation of the
CAWMP. The Permittee must make "major changes," "revisions," or "amendments" to the
CAWMP, as defined in Section VII, "Definitions," of this Permit, in order to address any
changes needed to maintain compliance with this Permit. "Major changes," "revisions," and
"amendments" to the CAWMP must be documented, dated, and included as part of the CAWMP.
"Major changes" and "revisions" to the CAWMP shall be submitted to the appropriate Division
Regional Office within thirty (30) calendar days of the "major change" or "revision."
"Amendments" are not required to be submitted to the Division Regional Office unless
specifically requested by the Division. If field, riser or pull numbers are changed, an explanation
shall also be submitted and include a description of how the new numbers relate to the old
numbers. Any violation of the CAWMP shall be considered a violation of this Permit and subject
to enforcement actions.
A violation of this Permit may result in the Permittee having to take immediate or long-term
corrective action(s) as required by the Division. These actions may include but are not limited
to: modifying the CAWMP; ceasing land application of waste; removing animals from the
facility; or the permit being reopened and modified, revoked and reissued, and/or terminated.
4. Any proposed increase or modification to the annual average design capacity from that
authorized by the permit will require a modification to the CAWMP and the permit prior to
modification of the facility.
S. During the period of this Permit, the Division of Water Quality may notify the permittee to
conduct an evaluation of the facility and its CAWMP to determine the facility's ability to comply
with the NRCS nutrient management standard as it relates to phosphorous. The Division will
make its decision as whether to notify permittees based on experience gained through the
NPDES permit implementation. This evaluation will not be required until such time as the
permittee is notified to conduct the evaluation by the Division of Water Quality. The evaluation
must be documented on forms supplied by or approved by the Division and must be submitted to
the Division. This evaluation must be completed by existing facilities within twelve (12) months
of receiving notification from the Division.
6. Animal waste shall not be applied withi 00 feet of any w 11 with the exception of monitoring
wells.
H. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
The collection, treatment, and storage facilities, and the land application equipment and fields
shall be properly operated and maintained at all times.
2. A vegetative cover shall be maintained as specified in the facility's CAWMP on all land
application fields and buffers in accordance with the CAWMP. No waste shall be applied upon
areas not included in the CAWMP.
3. Soil pH on all land application fields must be maintained in the optimum range for crop
production.
4. Land application rates shall be in accordance with the CAWMP. In no case shall land
application rates exc a agronomic nutrient of conce for the receiving crop. In
no n application r s result in excessive ponding or any runoff during any given
application event.
Animal waste shall not be directly applied onto crops for direct human consumption that do not
undergo further processing (e.g., strawberries, melons, lettuce, cabbage, apples, etc.) at any time
during the growing season, or in the case of fruit bearing trees, following breaking dormancy.
Application of animal wastes shall not occur within thirty (30) days of the harvesting of fiber and
food crops for direct human consumption that undergoes further processing.
b. If manure or sludges are applied on conventionally tilled bare soil, the waste shall be
incorporated into the soil within two (2) days after application on the land. This requirement
does not apply to no -till fields, pastures, or fields where crops are actively growing.
7. Pesticides, toxic chemicals and petroleum products shall not be disposed of in the animal waste
collection, treatment, storage or application systems.
Domestic and/or industrial wastewater from showers, toilets, sinks, etc. shall not be discharged
into the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and application system. Washing machines
located in the milking parlors and used exclusively for washing rags used during milking; and
wash vats required to be connected to the animal waste collection, treatment, storage and
application system by Grade A Pasteurized Milk Ordinance Part 11, Section 7, Item 5r are exempt
from this requirement. Washdown of stock trailers owned by and used to transport animals to
and from the facility only, will be permissible as long as the system has been evaluated and
approved to accommodate the additional volume. Only those cleaning agents and soaps that are
EPA approved according to their label, will not harm the cover crop, and will not contravene the
groundwater standards listed in 15A NCAC 2L may be utilized in facilities covered by this
Permit. Instruction labels are to be followed when using cleaning agents and soaps.
Disposal of dead animals resulting from normal mortality rates associated with the facility shall
be done in accordance with the facility's CAWMP and the North Carolina Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Services (NCDA&CS) Veterinary Division's Statutes and regulations.

done in accordance with requirements and guidelines dictated by the State Veterinarian
according G.S. §106-339.4. The Division may require groundwater monitoring when there is
massive burial of animals. All burial sites of such animals must be mapped, and the dates and
numbers of the animals buried by type must be recorded.
10. Unless accounted for in temporary storage volume, all uncontaminated runoff from the
surrounding property and buildings shall be diverted away from the waste storage ponds to
prevent any unnecessary addition to the liquid volume in the structures. Runoff from lounging
areas to the waste storage ponds shall be prevented unless approved in the CAWMP.
it. A protective vegetative cover shall be established and maintained on all earthen storage pond
embankments (outside toe of embankment to maximum pumping elevation), berms, pipe runs,
and diversions to surface waters or wetlands. Trees, shrubs, and other woody vegetation shall
not be allowed to grow on the storage pond embankments. All trees shall be removed in
accordance with good engineering practices. Storage pond areas shall be accessible, and
vegetation shall be kept mowed.

constitutes a violation of state law and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit coverage
termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit coverage renewal
application.
It shall not be a defense for a Permittee in an enforcement action to claim that it would have been
necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the
conditions of this Permit.
VII. DEFINITIONS
25-year, 24-hour rainfall or storm event means the maximum 24-hour precipitation event with a
probable recurrence interval of once in 25 years, as defined by the National Weather Service in Technical
Paper Number 40, "Rainfall Frequency Atlas of the United States," May 1961, and subsequent
amendments, or equivalent regional or state rainfall probability information developed therefrom.
Agronomic rates means the amount of animal waste and/or other nutrient sources to be land applied to
lands as contained in the nutrient management standard of the USDA Soil Conservation Service
Technical Guide Section IV or as recommended by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and
Consumer Services and the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service at the time of certification of
the Animal Waste Management Plan by the appropriate technical specialist.
Amendment to the CAWMP means a change and/or addition to a part(s) of the plan, and requires that
the change and/or addition adhere to current applicable standards. The following are examples of
amendments to the CAWMP:
• In an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes 25% or less of the N
generated is considered a plan amendment. Additional acreage needed to facilitate the change in
crops and/or cropping pattern is permissible and considered part of the amendment.
• The addition of winter crops and/or interseeded perennial crops are considered amendments to an
existing CAWMP when the operation does not require additional acreage and/or crops for N
utilization, and does not exceed the 25% criteria stated above.
• When a CAWMP cannot meet N utilization requirements due to land lost to irrigation inefficiency
(usable versus total acres), then the CAWMP may be amended to increase available acreage and/or
change the crop for N utilization. This is the only exception to the 25% N criteria for plan revision.
• Inclusions of emergency action plans, and insect, odor and mortality checklists are considered
CAWMP amendments.
• Including additional acreage for land application beyond what is required in the existing CAWMP is
considered a plan amendment.
Animal feeding operation means a lot or facility (other than an aquatic animal production facility)
where the following conditions are met: (i) animals (other than aquatic animals) have been, are, or will be
stabled or confined and fed or maintained for a total of forty five (45) days or more in any twelve (12)
month period, and (ii) crops, vegetation, forage growth, or post -harvest residues are not sustained in the
normal growing season over any portion of the lot or facility. Two or more animal feeding operations
under common ownership are considered to be a single animal feeding operation if they adjoin each
other, or if they use a common area or system for the disposal of wastes.
Ditch means any man made channel for the purpose of moving water off a site to the surface waters.
Excessive Ponding means any area of the application field where visible liquid waste is ponded on the
surface of the land application site more than four (4) hours following the application of waste.
Excessive ponding also means any areas where the Ponding of waste has resulted in crop failure.
Groundwaters means any subsurface waters, as defined in 15A NCAC 2L .0102.
Land application means the application of wastewater and/or waste solids onto or incorporation into the
soil.
Major changes to the CAWMP means changes in the number of animals, type of operation (feeder to
finish to wean to feeder), retrofit of a storage pond, installation of a new irrigation system, and similar
type changes. Recertification is only required for major changes to the CAWMP. Major changes to a
facility must first be approved by DWQ. The new CAWMP and the certification shall be submitted with
a request that the permit be amended to reflect the changes. The facility may not make the changes until a
new or amended permit has been issued.
12
Revision to the CAWMP means a change to an entire CAWMP to meet current applicable standards. A
CAWMP must be revised if the operation cannot utilize all N nitrogen generated by the animal
production in accordance with the existing CAWMP, except for the specific conditions noted in the
CAWMP amendment criteria as previously defined. For an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or
cropping pattern that utilizes more than 25% of the N generated by the operation is considered a plan
revision. Any change to an existing CAWMP, whether an amendment or revision, must be signed and
dated by both the producer and a technical specialist for the new CAWMP to be valid. A revision of the
CAWMP does not require recertification.
State Waters means all surface waters, wetlands, groundwaters and waters of the United States located
in the State.
Surface Waters means any stream, river, brook, swamp, lake, sound, tidal estuary, bay, creek, reservoir,
waterway, or other surface body or surface accumulation of water, whether public or private, or natural
or artificial, that is contained in, flows through, or borders upon any portion of the State of North
Carolina, including any portion of the Atlantic Ocean over which the State has jurisdiction as well as any
additional Waters of the United States which are located in the State.
Waste means manure, other animal waste, any process water as a byproduct of milk production, bottling
and ice cream making activity, and sludge generated at an animal feeding operation.
Wetlands means areas that are inundated or saturated by an accumulation of surface or groundwater at a
frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances do support a prevalence of
vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions, as defined in 15A NCAC 2B .0202.
This Permit issued the eighteenth day of May, 2005.

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.

NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
Milk Bottling and ice Cream Production:
This dairy bottles its own milk and makes ice cream for sale. They are permitted, certified and
licensed to distribute milk to local grocery stores as well as selling milk, butter and ice cream
direct from their own storefront connected to the dairy operation. The milk bottling produces
approximately 1500 gallons of wash and rinse water per day. This rinse water may contain
soap and trace amounts of milk products. The ice cream wash and rinse water may produce up
to 2.5 gallons per day and contain soap with trace amounts of ice cream, flavorings and sugar.
The bottling and ice cream production operations take place only on weekdays, not on the
weekends.
Waste Application:
The irrigation system will be used on fields of corn, small grains, hay and pasture. The holding
pond receives all waste from the feed lot, milking parlor, and free -stall barn. It will receive the
water used in_p1apo5e bottling operation. The operator is using a traveling gun to apply the
waste"to 74.9 acres of effective coverage. The gun, a Nelson SR 200 w/ ring nozzle, will be
applying .4 inch/hour at a pump pressure of 90 psi. At a travel speed of 4.3 ft/minute, the
operator will be applying .5 inch and 13,577 gallons per acre. At the holding pond's 981,592
gallon maximum capacity there will be a maximum of 36 acre -inches to be applied every6
months. However, according to the amount of waste produced, the Irrigation System will be
used to apply approximately only 75.1 ac.-incheslyear or 33.7 ac-in per 164-day cycle. See
pages 2, 3 & 4. Land is available to apply 75 ac-in per year.
Total wetted acres = 74.9 acres.
Orcha►dgrass for hay may be planted in any of the above cropped fields.
Apply at 225 lbs. Of N per acre or 2.1 inches, irrigated.

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.]
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.
Bowman Dairy 4/28/2005 7

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(Continued)
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.
Bowman Dairy 4/28/2005 8
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(Continued)
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.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
PROJECT/ FARM NAME: Bowman Dai[y
FACILITY #: 41-18
DATE: 05-09-96
1. A 3" - 4" diameter white PVC pipe with a cap shall be placed at the maximum liquid
level at elevation 97.2 . At no time should the effluent level rise above the
maximum liquid level, which is 1.77 feet below the settled top of the 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 if applicable. The inspector will need to look close for signs of slope failure .
or seepage on the back slope and toe of the dam. Also, a very close look will need
to be made to check for signs of animal damage, ground hogs, muskrats, etc. Any
problems 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 lbs. Of 10-10-10
per acre or its equivalent.
4. Maintain all waste handling equipment used for pumping, loading, hauling,
spreading, etc. in accordance with owner's manuals.
5. All waste application shall be completed in accordance with the waste utilization
plan. The waste storage ponds will be emptied at the end of each design storage
period. These structures are designed for 180 days.
See attached NC Agriculture Extension Service Waste Management Publication by Dr.
James C. Barker for information on sampling and testing of the effluent.

Cattle Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Guilford County
Dear Christopher & David R. Bowman:
On April 28, 2003, .the North Carolina General Assembly ratified Senate Bill 733 which directs the
Division of Water Quality (Division) to extend the expiration date of the Cattle Waste Operation General
Permit AWG200000. Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the
expiration date.to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with
all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit.
In accordance with your application received on January 28, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of
Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to
Christopher & David R. Bowman, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection,
treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWG200000. The
issuance of this COC supersedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWC410018 which expired
on April 30, 2003.
_This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Bowman Dairy Inc., located in Guilford County, with an animal capacity of no
greater than am atinuA average of 225 Dairy cattle and the application to land as specified in the
.facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until October 1, 2004. Pursuant to this COC, you
are authorized and required, to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the -General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this
facility. 'Any increase In waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and
this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: Chris & David Bowman
Location: 6144 Mabel Lane, Julian, NC 27283
Telephone: 336-685-4729
Type Operation: DAIRY & Bottling Operation
Number of Animals: 225 Cows
(Design Capacity)
Type Storage Structure: Holding Pond
Application Method: Irrigation System - Traveling Gun
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 S 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
ALL WASTE - SCRAPED LOT, PARLOR WASH AND LOT RUNOFF
Amount of Waste Produced Per Year (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.):
225 animals x 14.6 (gal/day/cow) x 365 days x 50% (confinement time) = 599,513 gallons of
waste/year.
Parlor Water: 225 animals x 5 gal/day/cow x 365 days = 410,625 gallons of water/year.
Milk Bottling Operation Water: 1500 gals 1 day (5 days 1 week), x 260 days = 390,000 gallons of water /year
Ice Cream Production: 2.5 gals per day (5 days 1 week), x 260 days = 650 gallons of water per year
Runoff from feedlot: Average Annual Rainfall = 44 in. x 70% (60 - 75%) x 12,101 sq.ft. of area x
1ft.112in x 7.48 gals./cu.ft. = 232,323 gallons/year.
Excess Rainfall on Structure: 22,000 q.ft. x .05 in/day of excess rainfall x 365 days x 1 ft./12 in. x
7.48 galslcu.ft. = 250,107 gallons of water.
TOTAL AMOUNT OF WASTE: 1,883,218 gallons or 251,767 cu. ft. of WASTE and WATER (YEAR.
Or 846,158 gallons or 113,123 cu.ft per 164 day pumping cycle
Amount of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) Produced Per Year
225 animals x 69 lbs. PAN/Animal/Year x 50 % confinement = 7,763 lbs. PAN/year.
(PAN from N.C. Tech. Guide Std. 633)
7,763 lbs. PAN + 1,883,218 gals11000 = 4.1 lbs PAN / 1000 gals
1,883,218 gals + 27,154 gals/ac/in = 69.3 ac-inches per year / 31.2 ac-inches per 164 day pump cycle

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.

NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
Milk Bottling and Ice Cream Production:
This dairy bottles its own milk and makes ice cream for sale. They are permitted, certified and
licensed to distribute milk to local grocery stores as well as selling milk, butter and ice cream
direct from their own storefront connected to the dairy operation. The milk bottling produces
approximately 1500 gallons of wash and rinse water per day. This rinse water may contain
soap and trace amounts of milk products. The ice cream wash and rinse water may produce up
to 2.5 gallons per day and contain soap with trace amounts of ice cream, flavorings and sugar.
The bottling and ice cream production operations take place only on weekdays, not on the
weekends.
Waste Application:
The irrigation system will be used on fields of corn, small grains, hay and pasture. The holding
pond receives all waste from the feed lot, milking parlor, and free -stall barn. It will receive the
water used in� bottling operation. The operator is using a traveling gun to apply the
waste to 74.9 acres of effective coverage. The gun, a Nelson SR 200 wl ring nozzle, will be
applying .4 inch/hour at a pump pressure of 90 psi. At a travel speed of 4.3 ft/minute, the
operator will be applying .5 inch and 13,577 gallons per acre. At the holding pond's 981,592
gallon maximum capacity there will be a maximum of 36 acre -inches to be applied every-6
months. However, according to the amount of waste produced, the Irrigation System will be
used to apply approximately only 75.1 ac.-inches/year or 33.7 ac-in per 164-day cycle. See
pages 2, 3 & 4. land is available to apply 75 ac-in per year.
Total wetted acres = 74.9 acres.
Orchardgrass for hay may be planteO in any of the above cropped fields.
Apply at 225 lbs. Of N per acre or 2.1 inches, irrigated.

Your facility is designed for 164 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be
removed. on the average of once every5.4 MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of waste
being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 97.2 , or 1.77' below the Top of the Dam.
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.

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 Carolina in the
Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.]
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that
runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters. and in a method 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.

(Continued)
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.
Lb. 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.
Bowman Dairy 4/28/2005 8
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(Continued)
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.

PROJECT/ FARM NAME: Bowman Dairy
FACILITY #: 41-18
DATE: 05-09-96
1. A 3" - 4" diameter white PVC pipe with a cap shall be placed at the maximum liquid
level at elevation 97.2 . At no time should the effluent level rise above the
maximum liquid level, which is 1.77 feet below the settled top of the 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 if applicable. The inspector will need to look close for signs of slope failure
or seepage on the back slope and toe of the dam. Also, a very close look will need
to be made to check for signs of animal damage, ground hogs, muskrats, etc. Any
problems 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 Ibs. Of 10-10-10
per acre or its equivalent.
4. Maintain all waste handling equipment used for pumping, loading, hauling,
spreading, etc. in accordance with owner's manuals.
5. All waste application shall be completed in accordance with the waste utilization
plan. The waste storage ponds will be emptied at the end of each design storage
period. These structures are designed for 180 days.

Producer: Chris & David Bowman �geg��
Location: 6144 Mabel Lane, Julian, NC 2728.SG"�
Telephone: 336-655-4729
Type Operation: DAIRY & Bottling Operation
Number of Animals: 225 Cows
(Design Capacity)
Type Storage Structure: Holding Pond
Application Method: Irrigation System - Traveling Gun
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
21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
ALL WASTE - SCRAPED LOT, PARLOR WASH AND LOT RUNOFF
Amount of Waste Produced Per Year (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.):
225 animals x 14.6 (gal/day/cow) x 365 days x 50% (confinement time) = 599,513 gallons of
waste/year.
Parlor Water: 225 animals x 5 gal/day/cow x 365 days = 410,625 gallons of water/year.
Bottling operation Water: 1500 gals per day x 365 days = 547,500 gallons of water /year
Runoff from feedlot: Average Annual Rainfall = 44 in. x 70% (60 - 75%) x 12,101 sq.ft. of area x
1ft./12in x 7.48 gals./cu.ft. = 232,323 gallons/year.
Excess Rainfall on Structure: 22,000 sq.ft. x .05 in/day of excess rainfall x 365 days x 1 ft./12 in. x
7.48 gals/cu.ft. = 250,107 gallons of water.
TOTAL AMOUNT OF WASTE: 2,040,229 gallons or 272,757 cu. ft. of WASTE and WATER
(YEAR.
Or _ 916,706 gallons or 122,554 cu.ft per 164 day pumping cycle
Amount of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)Produced Per Year
225 animals x 69 lbs. PAN/AnimalNear x 50 % confinement = 7,763 lbs. PAN/year.
(PAN from N.C. Tech. Guide Std. 633)
7,763 lbs. PAN + 2,040,229 gals/1000 = 3.8 lbs PAN / 1000 gals
2,040,229 gals + 27,154 gals/ac/in = 75.1 ac-inches per year / 33.7 ac-inches per 164 day pump cycle
3.8 lbs. PAN/1000 gals X 27,154 gals/ac-in = 103.2 lbs PAN/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:

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. "Double Cropped —Balance applied with irrigation

Your facility is designed for 164 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on
the average of once every 5.4 MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your
structure exceed Elevation 97.2 , or 1.77` below the Top of the Dam.
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.
Orchardgrass for hay may be planted in any of the above cropped fields.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION.
The irrigation system will be used on a field of striperopping. This consists of alternating strips of
grass and corn double cropped with small grain, usually oats or barley. The irrigation system will
also be used on several adjacent pastures and hayfields. The holding pond receives all waste from
the feed lot, milking parlor, and free -stall barn. It will receive the water used in proposed bottling
operation. The operator is using a traveling gun to apply the waste to 74.9 acres of effective
coverage. The gun, a Nelson SR 200 w/ ring nozzle, will be applying .4 inchlhour at a pump
pressure of 90 psi. At a travel speed of 4.3 ft/minute, the operator will be applying .5 inch and
13,577 gallons per acre. At the holding pond's 981,592 gallon maximum capacity there will be a
maximum of 36 acre -inches to be applied every6 months. However, according to the amount ,of
waste produced, the Irrigation System will be used to apply approximately only 75.1 ac.-inches/year
or 33.7 ac-in per 164-day cycle. See pages 2, 3 & 4. Land is available to apply 75 ac-in per year.
Total wetted acres = 74.9 acres.

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.
7. 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.
fi. 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.]
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.
Bowman Dairy 03/04/03
WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(Continued)
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 Ships]
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

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 specked 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
21-1.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

*See previous page for RYE per crop. **Double cropped.
Your facility is designed for180 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 97.2 , or 1.77' below the Top of the Dam.
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: \ 5r1.l5 i� lb[;A
The irrigation system will be used on afield of striperopping. This consists of alternating strips of grass and
corn double cropped with small grain, usually oats or barley. The irrigation system will also be used on several
adjacent pastures and hayfields. The holding pond receives all waste from the feed lot, milking parlor and
freestall bam. The operator is using a traveling gun to apply the waste to 74.9 acres of effective coverage.
The gun, a Nelson SR 200 w/ ring nozzle, will be applying .4 inch/hour at a pump pressure of 90 psi. At a
travel speed of 4.3 ft/minute, the operator will be applying .5 inch and 13,577 gallons per acre. At the holding
pond's 981,592 gallon maximum capacity there will be a maximum of 36 acre -inches to be applied eveM6
months. However, according to the amount of waste produced, the Irrigation System will be used to apply
approximately only 49.4 ac.inches/year or 24.7 ac-in per 6 months. See pages 2, 3 & 4. Land is available to
apply 58.6 ac-in per year. Total wetted acres = 74.9 acres.

WASTE UTILIZAT101 PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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 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.]

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]
2. 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.

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.

1. A 3" - 4" diameter white PVC pipe with a cap shall be placed at the maximum liquid
level at elevation 97.2 . At no time should the effluent level rise above the
maximum liquid level, which is 1.77 feet below the settled top of the 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 if applicable. The inspector will need to look close for signs of slope failure
or seepage on the back slope and toe of the dam. Also, a very close look will need
to be made to check for signs of animal damage, ground hogs, muskrats, etc. Any
problems 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 lbs. Of 10-10-10
per acre or its equivalent.
4. Maintain all waste handling equipment used for pumping, loading, hauling,
spreading, etc. in accordance with owner's manuals.
5. All waste application shall be completed in accordance with the waste utilization
plan. The waste storage ponds will be emptied at the end of each design storage
period. These structures are designed for 180 days.

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 maybe over applied while meeting the N requirements.
Beginning in 19% the Coastal Zone Management Act will require Farmers in some eastern counties of North Carolina to have a nutrient management

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.
"See previous page for RYE per crop.
"Double cropp
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be
removed on the average of once every6 MQNTHS. In no instance should the volume of waste being
stored in your structure exceed Elevation 97.2 , or 1.77' below the Top of the Dam.
Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Sal 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 irrigation system will be used on a field of striperopping. This consists of alternating strips of grass and corn
double cropped with small grain, usually oats or barley. The irrigation system will also be used on several
adjacent pastures and hayfields. The holding pond receives all waste from the feed lot, milking parlor and
freestall barn. The operator is using a traveling gun to apply the waste to 74.9 acres of effective coverage. The
gun, a Nelson SR 200 wl ring nozzle, will be applying .4 inch/hour at a pump pressure of 90 psi. At a travel speed
of 4.3 ftlminute, the operator will be applying .5 inch and 13,577 gallons per acre. At the holding pond's 981,592
gallon maximum capacity there will be a maximum of 36 acre -inches to be applied every 6 mont s. However,
according to the amount of waste produced, the Irrigation System will be used to apply approximately only 49.4
ac.inches/year or 24.7 ac-in per 6 months. See pages 2, 3 & 4. Land is available to apply 58.6 ac-in per year.
Total wetted acres = 74.9 acres.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
I . 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 Feld 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 He 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 Steps 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.]
n
WASTE UTILIZATIOrl 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 UTILIZAT1011 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.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
PROJECT 1 FARM NAME: _ _ Bowman Dai
FACILITY #: 41-18
DATE: 05-09-96
1. A 3" - 4" diameter white PVC pipe with a cap shall be placed at the maximum liquid
level at elevation 97.2 . At no time should the effluent level rise above the
maximum liquid level, which is 1.77 feet below the settled top of the 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 if applicable. The inspector will need to look close for signs of slope failure
or seepage on the back slope and toe of the dam. Also, a very close look will need
to be made to check for signs of animal damage, ground hogs, muskrats, etc. Any
problems 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 lbs. Of 10-10-10
per acre or its equivalent.
4. Maintain all waste handling equipment used for pumping, loading, hauling,
spreading, etc. in accordance with owners manuals.
5. All waste application shall be completed in accordance with the waste utilization
plan. The waste storage ponds will be emptied at the end of each design storage
period. These structures are designed for 180 days.
See attached NC Agriculture Extension Service Waste Management Publication by Dr.
James C. Barker for information on sampling and testing of the effluent.

Please pay careful attention to the record keeping and monitoring conditions in this permit.
Since your Waste Utilization Plan was developed based on site specific information and includes
the additional waste generated from your bottling facility, careful evaluation of future waste
samples and on -site bottling facility wastewater volume records are necessary. Should your
records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is inaccurate you will need to have a new
Waste Utilization Plan developed.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the
General Permit. or the CAWMP may result in the -revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance
with NCGS 143-215.6A through 143-215.6C including civil penalties, criminal penalties, and injunctive
relief.
Upon notification by the Division of this COC's expiration, you shall apply for its renewal. 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.

THIS TABLE IS NOT NEEDED IF WASTE IS NOT BEING APPLIED BY IRRIGATION, HOWEVER, A SIMILAR TABLE WILL BE NEEDED FOR CRY LITTER OR SLURRY.
*See previous page for RYE per crop. "Doublecropped.
Your facility is designed for 164 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the
average of once every 5.4 MONTHS. In no instance should thevolume of waste being stored in your structure
exceed Elevation 97.2 , or 1.77' below the Top of the Dam.
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 irrigation system will be used on a field of striperopping. This consists of alternating strips of grass and corn
double cropped with small grain, usually oats or barley. The irrigation system will also be used on several
adjacent pastures and hayfields. The holding pond receives all waste from the feed lot, milking parlor and
freestall bam. It will receive the water used in proposed bottling operation. The operator is using a traveling gun
to apply the waste to 74.9 acres of effective coverage. The gun, a Nelson SR 200 wl ring nozzle, will be applying
.4 inchlhour at a pump pressure of 90 psi. At a travel speed of 4.3 ftlminute, the operator will be applying .5 inch
and 13,577 gallons per acre. At the holding pond's 981,592 gallon maximum capacity there will be a maximum of
36 acre -inches to be applied every 6 months. However, according to the amount of waste produced, the Irrigation
System will be used to apply approximately only 75.1 ac.incheslyear or 33.7 ac-in per 164 day cycle. See pages
2, 3 & 4. Land is available to apply 75 ac-in per year. Total wetted acres = 74.9 acres.

WASTE UTILIZATIOWLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
I . 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.
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.]

WASH UTILIZATIOMPLAN
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 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 4 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.
