Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. AWC410005
Holly Grove Farm
Cattle Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Guilford County
Dear Richard & Kenneth OBryant:
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 March 26, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of
Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Richard &
Kenneth OBryant, 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 AWC410005 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 Holly Grove Farm, located in Guilford County, with an animal capacity of no
greater,than an annual average of 800 Non -Dairy cattle and the application to land as specified in the
facility's Certified _An'im`al Waste Management Plan (CAWMP).
The COC-shall be effedtive 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 requited 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 Pernvttee 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.
Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking
of the facility. AMA

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 are 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
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION.
Waste from the Holding Pond will be spread using a tank style spreader or honey wagon o r
on occasion, irrigated. Waste will be spread according to RYE and recommended
agronomic rates. It will be spread on cropland, hayland or pasture according to crop needs,
season and weather conditions. The holding pond is designed for 500 stockers. The
second site has no holding pond, and a maximum of 300 cows are on Pasture with a feeding
station that is scraped, hauled and spread on cropland as indicated on page 4. The two
sites have a total capacity for 800 stocker cattle.
When irrigated, the effluent will be applied at .3 in./hr. Fields 2 & 3(t6146) are in strips of
corn or small grain alternating with strips of grass (hay).
"*IMPORTANT NOTE: When irrigated on small grain, the grass will receive only the
amount of PAN for the small grain.
The system should produce 12,500 lbs. Of PAN and 1,573,883 gals of liquid. Every 1000
gals will contain 7.9 lbs. of PAN. Every AcAn. will contain 214 lbs. PAN.

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 DWQ. [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.]

(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, drainage ways 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 wash down 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 pre -plant 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

Please find enclosed the Animal Waste Utilization Plan for Holly Grove Farm, Richard
and Kenneth O'Bryant, Facility No. 41-05. i did not realize that you did not have this
information. One of the tracts of land (FSA Tract # 9164) has been sold and currently
belongs to Chris Bryant of Bryant Properties. The lagoon was closed and the Closure
Form was sent to your office on May 30, 2001. This should reduce his numbers to 800
beef cattle, from 1100, since the closed farm originally had 300 cattle. This should also
eliminate them from the NPDES permit requirements as well.
The O'Bryants no longer farm or have any interest on this tract. They will have no
animals on this tract. However, the rest of his farm and the other holding pond, located
on Facility No. 41-05 (FSA tract # 9163) will remain in operation, with a total of 800 beef
cattle.
Please contact me if you have further questions about this 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 p6orto 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
Holding Pond (Cc-DairyJLp4l
Your facility is designed for 145 days of storage. This storage must be removed on the average of once every11
MONTHS. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation.97.1 or,2
below too of 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 OPERA TION.-
Waste from the two Holding Ponds will be spread using a tank style spreader, honey wagon and on occasion,
irrigated. Waste will be spread according to RYE and recommended agronomic rates. It will be spread on cropland,
hayland or pasture according to crop needs, season and weather conditions. The holding pond is designed for 500
stockers. The other site has no holding pond, but has a maximum4f 3OD cows on lure with a feeding station that
is scraped, hauled and spread on cropland as indicated on page 5. The two sites have a total capacity for 800 stocker
cattle.
When irrigated the effluent will be applied at .3 in./hr. Fields 2 & 3 are in strips of com or small grain alternating with
strips of grass,for hay. When the effluent is irrigated on the small grain, the maximum amount of PAN on the grass
will be the allowable amount for the small grain as it is the most limiting. The system should produce 12,500 lbs. of
PAN and 1,573,883 gals of liquid. Every 1000 gals, will contain 7.9 lbs. PAN. Every Ac.-In. Will contain 214 lbs, of
PAN. Irrigation will only be used occasionally and is not the typical manner of land application.

WAE 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 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.]

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(Continued)
7, Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such'that runoff does
not occur offske 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
( I ) 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 "closureplan"which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge,
pollution and erosion.
20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to
prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site.
21. Animal Waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct
human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it
should be applied preplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season.
22. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary
storage (pumping volume) of all animal waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain
the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume
for waste storage ponds.
23. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop
sites where animal waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc
and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when the metals
approach excessive levels. Adjust pH for optimum crop production and maintenance. Soil and Waste
analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained
for three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five years.
24. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

The Waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface
and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of
commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste
utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application
cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic
yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the
fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always
apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not
apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally
waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special
precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply
waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may
result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should
also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for
crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop
or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will
conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type
of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste
management facility. Ached 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
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 N RCS 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). Kan ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons
per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter
strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and
Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.]
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should
not be applied when the wind is blowing.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on
conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may
be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. [See
"Weather and Climate in North Carolinanin the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.]

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(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 - F17ter5trips]
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 ail 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.

2) A visual inspection of the waste storage pond will be
performed at least twice a year. 'The inspector should check
the condition of the dam and the emergency spillway. The
inspector will need to look close for signs of slope failure
or seepage on the back slope and toe of dam.' Also, a very
close look will need to be made to check for signs of animal
damage, ground hogs, muskrats, etc. Any problem found
should be brought to the attention of the technical
specialist for repair recommendations.
3) The waste storage pond will need to be mowed twice a
year. All eroded areas or areas that do not have complete
vegetative cover will be reseeded. The dam and all
constructed slopes will need to be fertilized annually with
500 pounds of 10-10-10 per acre or its equivalent.
4) Maintain all waste handling equipment pumping, loading,
hauling, spreading, etc. in accordance with owners manual.
5) All waste application shall be completed in accordance

Owner / Manager Agreement
I (we) verify that all the above information is correct and will be updated upon changing. I (we) understand the operation
and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste management plan for the farm named above and will
unplement.these procedures. I (we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and
storage system or construction of new facilities will require a new certification to be submitted to the Division of
Environmental Management before the new animals are stocked. I (we) understand that there must be no discharge of
animal waste from the storage or application system to surface waters of the state either directly through a man-made
conveyance or from a storm event less severe than the 25-year, 24-hour storm and there must not be run-off from the
application of animal waste. I (we) understand that run-off of pollutants from lounging and heavy use areas must be
minimized using technical standards developed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service. The approved plan will be
filed at the farm and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District. I (we) know that any modification
must be approved by a technical specialist and submitted to the Soil and Water Conservation District prior to
implementation. A change in land ownership requires written notification to DEM or a new certification (if the approved
plan is changed) within 60 days of a title transfer.

(Design Capacity
The Waste fro your animal facility must be land app ' d at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surfa an
groundwater. The plant n trients in the animal waste should
be used to reduce t e amount of commercial fertili r required for the crops in the fields
where the waste is to applied. This wast/uti tion plan usesnitrogen as the limiting
nutrient. Waste should analyzed beforepplication cycle. Annual soil tests are
strongly encouraged so t t all plant nutriebe balanced for realistic yields of the
crop to be grown.
Several factors are important i Nimp/ eating your waste utilization plan in order to
maximize the fertilizer value of waste and to ensure that it is applied in an
environmentally safe manner. Alw pply waste based on the needs of the crop to be
grown and the nutrient content of a was . Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can
utilize. Soil types are important s they hav different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, a available wa holding capacities. Normally waste shall
not be applied to land ero ing at greater tha tons per acre per year. With special
precautions, waste may be pplied to land eroding up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do
not apply waste on satur ed soils, when it is raining, o when the surface is frozen. Either
of these conditions may esult in runoff to surface water hich is not allowed under DEM
regulations. Wind con itions should also be considered to void drift and downwind odor
problems. To m ' ize the value of nutrients for crop p oduction and to reduce the
potential for pollu on, the waste should be applied to a gro . g crop or applied to bare
ground not mo an 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the was or disking will conserve
nutrients an educe odor problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typ I nutrient content
for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis
report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper
sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A
NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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.
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 utechnical
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 stone 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 snail
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.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEMENT
Name of Farm: HOLLY GROVE FARM
Owner/Manager Agreement: Richard and Kenneth O'Bryant
I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specification and the
operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal
waste utilization plan for the farm named above. I (we) know that any
expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and
storage system or construction of new facilities will require a new
certification to be submitted to the Division of Environment Management
(DEM) before the new animals are stocked. I (we) also understand that
there must be no discharge of animal waste from this system to surface
wasters of the state from a storm event less severe than the 25-year, 24-
hour storm. The approved plan will be filed on -site at the farm office and
at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District and will be
available for review by DEM upon request.
