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 ear.h application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3.. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 torts per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. Page: 1 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be,applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduceodor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future„ you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may.want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 800 sows x 7.3 tons waste/sows/year = 5840 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 800 sows x 6.5 lbs PAN/sows/year = 5200 lbs. PAN/year Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan. time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than tYe acres shown in the tables. s See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 880 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. .If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 4400 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 14.6666666667 acres of land. If you 'apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 35.,2 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 250- depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the methodof land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and Page: 6 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

In many situations, the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for 120.00 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 4.00 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Page: 7 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION SEE PREVIOUS ATTACHMENT OF ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN DATED 12-17,98 Page: 8 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 1: Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must beydocumentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which .to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copyiof an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding .at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip) 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste .should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. when applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. Page: 9 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied...-morethan 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 Viand area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14.. Waste shall be'applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters,. drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharges directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc.; are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. Page: 10 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure Plain" 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. A_ 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied preplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. Page: 1 ANIA WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN • 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 800 sows x 7.3 tons waste/sows/year = 5840 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 800 sows x lbs PAN/sows/year = 0 lbs. PAN/year Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 0 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 0 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 0 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 0 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. Your facility is designed for 120.00 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 4.00 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Page: 6 ANIO WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN • Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION SEE PREVIOUS ATTACHMENT OF ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN DATED 12-17-98 Page: 7 OTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393.-Filter Strip) 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast.provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. Page: a *TE UTILIZATION PLAN 0 REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential ,property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharges directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. Page: 9 STE UTILIZATION PLAN • REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption.

The initial start-up of a lagoon is cn-itical. Each lagoon has a calculated minimum design volume (MDV). If manure loading begins in the fall or winter, the MDV ( 19522eo gallons), must be filled first. When loading begins at any other time, at least 1/2 of the minimum design volume must be in the lagoon prior to loading. Once the lagoon is being used, it should never be evacuated to less than the minimum design yalume. Failure to do any of these items may result in odor problems. Manure and wastewater should be loaded on a continuous basis. Daily loading is desirable. Slug loading may cause odor problems. The dilution Volume (DV) and the annual manure and wastewater volume must be spread on the land each year. Regular yearly dilution of lagoon corItents is essential for odor control. During the course of one year, this lagoon will store up to 271u927 gallons of waste and water. Prior to emptying the lagoon, it should be initially agitated for at least 1 day. Additional agitation may be needed d Lkl-il")g the emptying process.. Ground conditions need to be evaluated prior to beginning irrigation. Excessively wet conditions or e,ecessively dry conditions should be avoided, since waste may either rein pf7° nr flow thru crack to subsurface drainage systems.

U. S. Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE PLAN FOR HOG LAGOON OWNER Fd-e t �i cnnei� Operations of this lagoon involve the following: NC-ENG-13C Nov. 1982 The lagoon will be filled to the minimum design �O1LP ( before operations begin. Z Daily loading results in the best operation. If intermittent loading is necessary, the minimum depth (MDV) should be maintained by addition of water. Elcu. 9<4.o iZ.oF'6. M17f1 Elcu. 94.7 cp4-�-1 /I%AK. 1,�q""l The purpose of this plan is to provide guidelines foc carrying out the routine maintenance work needed to keep this lagoon operating as planned. Routine maintenance is considered to be normal good care of the lagoon. Good maintenance adds to the usefulness and permanence. In addition severe storms that cause flow in the vegetated spillway will likely call for maintenance, such as, replacing and compacting soil in washes or gulles, reestablishment of vegetation, removal of debris and the like. When such work is necessary, the Soil Conservation Service, if requested', will provide technical assistance to help with the repair. This type of maintenance should be done as soon as possible after damage is discovered. The routine maintenance of t:nis lagoon involves the following: 1. Maintenance of a vegetative cover cn the dam and in the spillway: T // o c. (Type of Vegetation) is being established on these areas. Beginning in /7 9 o (Year) and each year thereafter, the dam. and spillway should be fertilized with /Opp pounds of per acre to maintain a vigorous stand. 2. Removal of logs, brush, or other trash from the entrance of the pipe spillway, the grass spillway, and the face of the dam: This should be done after each rise in the pond surface that deposits such material. Unless this material is removed, the pipe spillway is 1_}:ely to become clogged and the vegetacion killed in the affec-ed areas. 3. Protection of the Grass Spillway: The spillway canoe severely damaged by -,nconcrolled vehicular traffic. __ails or ruts made by suc'- traffic could become large gullies when outflow occurs in c-.e spillway. Lf ruts or trails appear to be forming, stop ail traffic within cue spillway area.

When the waste reaches the designed level, it must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or ground water. The plant nutrients, in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops on 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 and annual soil tests are 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 -and leaching potental. Waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils or on and when e surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters. 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 not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements may be more or less based on the waste analysis report from your waste nanagement facility. The design of your waste management facility is based on the following: Amount of Waste Produced Per Year.: boo animals x 3950 waste /animal/yr = 11 9YS,000.0total tdaste produced. ATTACHMENT A Page 2 Amount of Nitrocten Produced Per Year Soo animals x S.D lbs N/animal/yr DOD total N 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. Your facility is designed for /Bo days of storage. Therefore, it will need to be pumped every 61 months. The following acreage for waste application will be needed based on the crop to be grown and surface application: . Field . Solt Crop Realistic Lbs. N Acres lbs. R Month of Type Yield Per Ac. Utilized Applicatlon TOTAL Surpt w or Deficit 0 Call the Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive waste analysis report to obtain the amount per acre to apply and the irrigation application rate prior to applying waste.

Routine main- tenance is considered to be normal good care of the pond. Good maintenance adds to beauty, usefullness, and permanence. In addition severe storms that cause flow in the vegetated spillway will likely call for maintenance, such as, replacing and compacting soil in washes or gullies, reestablishment of vegetation, removal of debris and the like. When such work is necessary, the Soil Conservation Service, if requested, will provide technical assistance to help with the repair. This type of maintenance should be done as soon as possible after damage is discovered. The routine maintenance of this pond involves the following: 1. Maintenance of a vegetative cover on the dam and in the spillway: �:C5ckc_ (Type of Vegetation) is being established on these areas. Beginning in /9 9/ (Year) and each year thereafter, the dam and spillway should be fertilized with Saa pounds of /o-/o-/a per acre to maintain a vigorous stand. 2. Removal of logs, brush, or other trash from the entrance of the pipe spillway, the grass spillway, and the face of the dam: This should be done after each rise in the pond surface that deposits such material. Unless this material is removed, the pipe spillway is likely to become clogged and the vegetation killed in the affected areas. 3. Control of weeds, brush, and trees in the grass spillway on the dam and in the outlet channel for a short distance below the pipe outlet: This may be done by mowing, spraying, or chopping, or a combination of all three. This will need to be done at least once each year and possibly twice in years favorable to heavy growth of vegetation. You may check with the local Extension Agent or SCS office for the latest information on spray material and the best time to apply them. 4. If the dam and spillway are to be grazed, be sure to remove all live- stock when grass has been grazed down to a height of 4 inches. Also, remove livestock when the dam and spillway are wet and soft. Severe damage can be done by livestock at such times. 5. Protection of the Grass Spillway: The soill•ay can be severely damaged by uncontrolled vehicular. traffic. Trails or ruts made by such traffic could become large gullies when our.flow occurs .in the spillway. If ruts or trails appear to be forming, stop all traffic within the spillway arcvn. - L - 6. Erosion by Wave Action: It is not expected that erosion of the dam by waves will be a severe problem. However, should such erosion start, lower the level of the lake until the water surface is about 4 feet below the eroded area. Replace the soil that has been eroded away, tamp it in place, and resod. Fertilize when the new sod takes root. Keep the water surface drawn down and exclude livestock until the new sod is firmly established. Maintenance inspections of this pond should be made during the initial filling, at least annually, and after every major storm. Items to be checked should include, as a minimum, the following: 1. Principal Spillway a. damage or obstructions to trash rack or gates b. condition of riser and pipe (1) signs of seepage (2) separation of joints (3) cracks or breaks 2. Emergency Spillway a. erosion b. sedimentation c. weeds, small trees, logs, fences, or other obstructions that reduce channel capacity or may block flow 3.

Operation of the structures in accordance with this plan, other pertinent plans and the WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN will comprise a certifiable system which can be deemed permitted pursuant to NC DEHNR-DWQ Administrative Code Section: 15A NCAC2H .0217(a)(1). Maintenance A vigorous stand of vegetation shall be maintained on the dam(s). Grass provides a surface that can easily be inspected and maintained. Trees and brush are not permitted to grow on the dam(s' or in the emergency spillway(s). Their deep root systems provide paths for water to travel, and uprooted trees create large holes weakening the dam(s). Brush also creates difficulty when inspecting the surface of the dam(s). Elimination of trees and brush will lessen the chances that burrowing animals will reside in the dam(s). Vegetation on the dam(s) shall be mowed at least annually to prevent the arowth ol'woody plants. Grass on the dam(s) shall not be mowed at a height less than four (4) inches. L.xclude livestock from the dam(s) with tenting. Livestock are not permitted to graze the vegetation at any time since they can damage the vegetation and create n ruts, holes and bare spots Inspect the dam(s) periodically, especially after significant rainfall events, for signs of erosion. Rills and gullies shall be filled with suitable soil, compacted and reseeded as soon as possible. Gullies left unrepaired may cause more serious damage to the dam(s), threatening the entire structure. Regularly inspect the downstream face of the dam(s) for seepage. Signs of seepage include wet areas and springlike flows. Presence of wetland plants like cattail and bulrush may also be a sign of seepage. Seepage must be repaired as soon as possible by installing an upstream blanket or other approved method. Consult the Stokes Soil and Water Conservation District for the appropriate repair method. The dam(s) must be closely inspected for crack (transverse and longitudinal). Cracks wider than one fourth (0.25) inch wide or well-defined cracks indicate serious problems. Traverse cracks indicate differential settlement along the dam(s) and provide a path for seepage. Longitudinal cracks along the dam(s) may be the first sign to a slide or slump. All cracks shall be repaired immediately by placing clay in compacted layers in the crack. All repairs must be monitored frequently to determine if the dani(s) is/are continuing to settle, slide or slump. Consult the Stokes Soil and Water Conservation District for additional repair procedures. Inspect.the dam(s) for burrows by rodents such as groundhogs, woodchucks and muskrats. Backfill any burrows by mud -packing with a mixture of earth, cement and water. A section of stove pipe is typically placed over the burrow entrance and a thin slurry (nine parts dirt, one part cement and water) is poured in the pipe. The entrance is plugged with compacted fill and reseeded. All burrows shall be eliminated without delay because a single burrow can cause the dam(s) to fail. Regularly inspect the dam(s) for sink holes, misalignments along the dams and boils. These conditions are indications of a potential failure and require immediate action. Follow the instructions outlined in the EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN contained within this document. Q12eration The waste storage lagoon shall be operated in a manner as not to discharge waste under any circumstance except in a rainfall event more severe than the twenty-five (25) year, twenty-four (24) hour storm. For Stokes county, it is Five and .67 (5.8) inches of precipitation in twenty-four (24) hours. The pond(s) is/are designed to store: waste and waste water generated by the hogs; the normal rainfall falling directly on the pond(s); twenty-five (25) year, twenty-four (24) hour storm falling directly on the pond. A marker shall be established by the Stokes Soil and Water Conservation District indicating the maximum and minimum operation level in the lagoon. Additional storage volume will remain above the maximum operating level for storage of the twenty-five (25) year, twenty-four (24) hour storm. The maximum storage level in the waste storage pond shall be no more than one (1) foot below top of dam elevation.. Waste water shall not be removed a rate higher than one (1.0) foot of depth per day. Rapid draw - down of the pond(s) level may cause sloughing of the interior side slopes. Care must also be exercised when agitating the pond(s). If the impeller of an agitation pump is placed to close to the side slopes or bottom, scouring may occur damaging the pond(s). Waste in the pond(s) must be thoroughly agitated before transporting it to the field. Proper agitation will combine the floating solids, settled solids and the liquid into a homogeneous slurry. Failure to properly agitate the pond(s) will cause solids to accumulate on the bottom, thus reducing the storage capacity. It can also result in a floating mat of vegetative growth on the pond(s) surface which will inhibit proper operation.

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 Water Quality for every day the discharge continues. utilization, or available land). 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop ,yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. Actual yields may be used in lieu of realistic yield tables at the discretion of the planner. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RIVIS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If a RIMS or 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 D WQ. (See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 392 - Riparian Forest Buffer.j 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing or any other condition exists which may cause a danger of drift from the irrigation field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to floodine, 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 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 be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not damaged by burning or smothering of the plant. This is an important consideration where swine, poultry or other ammonia rich waste is being surface applied. Surface broadcast solids or slurries may damage crops if leaf surfaces are matted. Generally waste should be applied such that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. This should not normally be a concern where diluted, low nutrient waste is irrigated or surface broadcast from a liquids holding structure. Where crops are severely damaged due to waste application, the plants cannot assimilate the nutrients and discharge of pollutants to surface waters is likely to occur. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. On soils with a high potential for leaching, multiple application at lower rates should be used. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production & reduce the potential for pollution, the waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil, or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or gftczOctober 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 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal). Animal waste (other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995,) shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surfu.e water 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. I J. 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 shall not be applied on grassed waterways which discharge directly into water courses. If animal waste is to be applied on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates and in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. t6. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers. toilets, sinks. etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. Ll 0 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon/holding pond 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/holding pond areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon/holding pond 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 an "approved closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied preplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible permanent markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. Soil pI3 shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five S) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years-7—aste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. (See Table Below) 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC regulations. North Carolina Generat Statute 106-403 requires that dead animals be disposed of within 24 hours in a manner approved by the state veterinarian. Calibration Applicators can apply manure, litter and wastewater at varying rates and patterns, depending on forward travel and/or PTO speed, gear box settings, gate openings, operating pressures, spread widths and overlaps. Calibration defines the combination of settings and travel speed needed to apply manure, litter or wastewater at a desired rate and to ensure uniform application. Spreader Capacity Liquid spreader capacities are normally rated by the manufacturer in gallons. Multiply gallons by 0.0042 to get tons. Solid and semi -solid spreader are rated by the manufacturer either in bushels or cubic feet (multiply bushels by 1.24 to get cubic feet). Most spreaders have two rating capacities:' 1) struck or level full, and 2) heaped. Since manures and litters have different densities, an on -farm test should be done. Fill a five -gallon bucket level full with material to be spread. Do not pack the material in the bucket but ensure that it settles similar to a loaded spreader. Weigh the bucket full and then empty. Multiply the weight of the contents by 1.5 to get pounds per cubic feet. Multiply this value times the cubic feet capacity of the spreader and divide by 2000 to get the tons of material in a spreader load. manure weight, lbs. x 1.5 x spreader capacity, ft') - 2000 = spreader load, tons Spreader Calibration Calibration 1'lethod 1: This method is most useful for liquid spreaders but can be used for all types. Spread at least one full load of manure preferably in a square or rectangular field pattern for ease of measuring with normal overlaps. Measure the length and width of coverage recognizing that the outer fringe areas of the coverage will receive much lighter applications than the overlapped areas. Multiply the length by the width and divide by 43.560 to determine the coverage area in acres. Divide the tons of manure in the spreader by the acres covered to determine the application rate in tons per acre. spreader manure, tons _(coverage length, ft x width, ft _ 43,560)= application rate, ton/ac Repeat the procedures at different speeds and/or spreader settings until the desired application rate is achieved. Example: What forward speed would be needed to apply 6.0 tons litter per acre from a spreader with a 6- ton capacity, a 5-minute spreading time, and a 25-feet spreading width ? Forward speed, mph = capacity, tons x 495 time (min.) x width x rate, tons per acre = 6 tons x 495 5 min. x 25 ft. x 6 ton per acre 4 miles per hour Calibration illethod 2: This method is often used for solid and semi -solid spreaders. A tarp or plastic sheet of about 100 square feet (9 ft. x 12 ft., 10 ft. x 10 ft., etc.) should be measured for exact surface area (length x width), weighed using a set of spring -tension or platform scales, then spread and pinned on the field surface. The spreader should be operated at its normal settings, speed and overlap. With a rear discharge spreader, three passes should be made: the first directly over the center of the sheet, the other two on opposite sides of the center at the normal spreader overlap spacing. The sheet with the collected manure should again be weighed. Subtract the empty sheet weight from the total weight to get the weight of the collected manure. Multiply the pounds of collected manure by 21.8 and divide by the collection area of the sheet in square feet to get the application rate in tons per acre. collected manure, lbs. x 21.8 - collection area, ft2 = application rate, tons/acre Repeat the procedure using different settings or speeds to obtain the desired application rate. Spreader Pattern Uniformity To determine uniformity of spread and the amount of overlap needed, place a line of small pans or trays equally spaced (2 - 4 feet apart) across the spreader path. The pans should be a minimum of 12 in. by 12 in. or 15 in. diameter, no more than 24 in. by 24 in., and 2 in. - 4 in. deep. Make one spreading pass directly over the center pan. Weigh the contents caught in each pan or pour the contents into equally sized glass cylinders or clear plastic tubes and compare the amount in each. The effective spread width can be found by locating the point on either side of the path center where the manure contents caught in the containers is half of what it is in the center. The distance between these points is the effective spread width. The outer fringes of the coverage area beyond these points should be overlapped on the next path to ensure a uniform rate over the area. "M", "W", "steeple", or'lopside" patterns are not satisfactory and one or more of the spreader adjustments should be made. Contact your local Cooperative Extension Agent for help in Spreader Calibration. The following applies if irrigation is your method of application. The irrigation application rate should not exceed the infiltration rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. It is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in tables 1 through 3. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying forage plants under stress condition. Nitrate poisoning may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. Page: 1 y ANA WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN • 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 800 sows x 7.3 tons waste/sows/year = 5840 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 800 sows x 6.5 lbs PAN/sows/year = 5200 lbs. PAN/year Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 880 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 4400 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 14.6666666667 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 35.2 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25a depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids.. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and Page: 6 ANA WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts. Tract Field Soil Type Crop I I I Application RatelApplic.

In many situations, the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions. Your facility is designed for 120.00 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 4.00 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to . ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

NARRATIVE OF OPERATION SEE PREVIOUS ATTACHMENT OF ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN DATED 12-17 98 Page: 8 ATE UTILIZATION PLAN • REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip) S. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. Page: 9 OTE UTILIZATION PLAN • REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be.applied to prior converted cropland provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharges directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon.embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage or discharge. Page: 10 GTE UTILIZATION PLAN • REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied preplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste.should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3.. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. Page: 1 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be_applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods -in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 800 sows x 7.3 tons waste/sows/year = 5840 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 800 sows x 6.5 lbs PAN/sows/year = 5200 lbs. PAN/year Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

Acres shown in each .of the preceding tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the:;fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached :map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste.. SLUDGE APPLICATION: The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 880 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 4400 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 14.6666666667 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 35.2 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25°s depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and Page: 6 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts. Tract Field 2235 1 2235 2 2235 3 �• 2235 4 I.

Your facility is designed for 120.00 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 4.00 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

NARRATIVE OF OPERATION EE PREVIOIIS ATTACHMENT OF ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN DATED 12-17r9 Page: 8 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 1: Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not.rown adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall prouide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a' reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding .at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip) 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil .infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. Page: 9 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a,minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 12. Animal. waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner: 1. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations. Page: 1 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical.nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 800 sows x 7.3 tons waste/sows/year = 5840 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 800 sows x lbs PAN/sows/year = 0 lbs. PAN/year Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown, soil type and surface application.

See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 0 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 0 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds.of nitrogen per acre, you will need 0 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 0 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. Your facility is designed for 120.00 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 4.00 months. In no instance should the volume of the waste be stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm. It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.. Page: 6 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION SEE PREVIOUS ATTACHMENT OF ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN DATED 12-17-98 Page: 7 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate laria on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not' —own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type,_ available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip) 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. Page: 8 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial ferti I iz_=r- required for they 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 ut i I i zat i on plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner-: 1. Always apply waste based can the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. 2. Soil types are important as they Have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at; less than !_ tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tens per acre annually, but less than 10 tens per acre per year provid ng that adequate filter strips are established. 4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under- DWQ regulations.

Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients::for crop production and to reduce the potential for polluflion; the waste should be applied to a growing crop or appIijsl not more than 30 days prior- to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will ccifiserve nutrients an�J reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application rneth6d shown above. 'If'' you choose to change methods in the future, you "need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different applicatiod methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your - waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant, analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific... crop production. This waste utilization plan, if carried out,,rneets the requirements for compliance with 15A.NCAC:2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission,. AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 800 sows x 7.1 tons waste/sews/year- = 5840 tans AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 800 ,sows x 6.5 Ibs PAN/sows/year- = 5200 lbs.

The waste utilization plan roust contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production 'f acI l ity wi l l produce approximately 880 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will. have approximately 4400 pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermu,.lagr-ass hay l and at Y the rate. of _,00 pounds of n i tr ogen per acre, you will need 14.<6r5.r>,r_,;r-'667 acres of land. 1'f you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 35.2 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and ter; c� n your Iar'Id needed. Actual requirements could vary by 2_,. depending ,�' sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or p,onding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water- droplet size, and organic solids. The application -amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor- should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2.

It is important to note the following information about your operation. The 800 sow farrow -to -feeders will produce approximately 618,193 gallons of - wastewater every 120 days. The area marked in the lagoon shows 2.7 ft. which reflects the volume to be pumped 3 times per year. The soils located on this site limit application rates to 0.3 inches per hour. Care should be taken to not let the liquid level exceed the start.pumping mark, or go below the stop pumping marker. The existing irrigation system designed and installed by the producer consists of Nelson FIN Big Guns with 0.9 tapered bore nozzles at 24' trajectory spaced at 177ft. The wetted diameter consists of 295ft. The guns should deliver 182 gallons per minute at 60 psi. This is assuming everything is properly calibrated. - 96.3 x 182GPM Precipitation Rate (in/hr.) = 177 x 177 = .56in/hr.

Box, 98 Danbury NC 27016 Signature: _�e� _______________ Date: r Operation and Maintenance r of an Animal Waste Management System Prepared for: Edsel Bennett Stokes County, North Carolina Stokes Soil and Water Conservation District . USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service November 5,1997 r A COPY OF THIS PLAN MUST BE KEPT ON THE SITE AND _ BE READILY AVAILABLE FOR USE AS A REFERENCE FOR INSPECTIONS, MAINTENANCE, REPAIRS AND "EMERGENCIES Overview This operation and maintenance plan outlines the responsibilities and duties of the owner and operator of the waste storage pond(s) and waste collection system(s), and lagoons. Operation of the structures in accordance with this plan, other pertinent plans and the WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN will comprise a certifiable system which can be deemed permitted pursuant to NC DEHNR-DWQ Administrative Code Section: 15A NCAC21-1.0217(a)(1).' A vigorous stand of vegetation shall be maintained on the dam(s). Grass provides a surface that can easily be inspected and maintained. Trees and brush are not permitted to grow on the dam(s) or in the emergency spillway(s). Their deep root systems provide paths for water to travel, and uprooted trees create large holes weakening the dam(s). Brush also creates difficulty when inspecting the surface of the dam(s). Elimination of trees and brush will lessen the chances that burrowing animals will reside in the dam(s). Vegetation on the dam(s) shall be mowed at least annually to prevent the growth of woody plants. Grass on the dam(s) shall not be mowed at a height less than four (4) inches. Exclude livestock from the dam(s) with fencing. Livestock are not permitted to graze the vegetation at any time since they can damage the vegetation and create ruts, holes and bare spots. Inspect the dam(s) periodically, especially after significant rainfall events, for signs of erosion. Rills and gullies shall be filled with suitable soil, compacted and reseeded as soon as possible. Gullies left unrepaired may cause more serious damage to the dam(s), threatening the entire structure. Regularly inspect the downstream face of the dam(s) fif seepage. Signs of seepage include wet areas and springlike flows. Presence of wetland plants -like cattail and bulrush may also be a sign of seepage. Seepage must be repaired as soon as possible by installing an upstream blanket or other approved method. Consult the Stokes Soil and VAter Conservation District for the appropriate repair method. The dam(s) must be closely inspected for. crack (transverse and longitudinal). Cracks wider than one fourth (0.25) inch wide or well-defined cracks indicate serious problems. Traverse cracks indicate differential settlement along the dam(s) and provide a path for seepage. Longitudinal cracks along the dam(s) may be the first sign to a slide or slump. All cracks shall be repaired immediately by placing clay in compacted layers in the crack. All repairs must be monitored frequently to determine if the dam(s) is/are continuing to settle, slide or slump. Consult the Stokes Soil and Water Conservation District for additional repair procedures. Inspect the dam(s) for burrows by rodents such as groundhogs, woodchucks and muskrats. Backfill any burrows by mud -packing with a mixture of earth, cement and water. A section of stove pipe is typically placed over the burrow. entrance and a thin slurry (nine parts dirt, one part cement and water) is poured in the pipe. The entrance is plugged with compacted fill and reseeded. All burrows shall be eliminated without delay because a single burrow can cause the dam(s) to fail. Regularly inspect the dam(s) for sink holes, misalignments along the dams and boils. These conditions are indications of a potential failure and require immediate action. Follow the instructions outlined in the EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN contained within this document. The waste storage lagoon shall be operated in a manner as not to discharge waste under any circumstance except in a rainfall event more severe than the twenty-five (25) year, twenty-four (24) hour storm. For Stokes county, it is five and .67 (5.8) inches of precipitation in twenty-four (24) hours. The pond(s) is/are designed to store: waste and waste water generated by the hogs; the normal rainfall falling directly on the pond(s); twenty-five (25) year, twenty-four (24) hour storm falling directly on the pond. A marker shall be established by the Stokes Soil and Water Conservation District indicating the maximum and minimum operation level in the lagoon. Additional storage volume will remain above the maximum operating level for storage of the twenty-five (25) year, twenty-four (24) hour storm. The maximum storage level in the waste storage pond shall be no more than one (1) foot below top of dam elevation.. Waste water shall not be removed a rate higher than one (1.0) foot of depth per day. Rapid draw - down of the pond(s) level may cause sloughing of the interior side slopes. Care must also be exercised when agitating the pond(s). '._If the impeller of an agitation pump is placed to close to the side slopes or bottom, scouring may occur damaging the pond(s). Waste in the pond(s) must be thoroughly agitated before transporting it to the field. Proper agitation will combine the floating solids, settled solids and the liquid into a homogeneous slurry. Failure to properly agitate the pond(s) will cause solids to accumulate on the bottom, thus reducing the storage capacity. It can also result in a floating mat of vegetative growth on the pond(s) surface which will inhibit proper operation.

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 Water Quality for every day the discharge continues. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. Actual yields may be used in lieu of realistic yield tables at the discretion of the planner. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If a RMS or 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..[Re FQTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard _ 9�Fparian Forest Bg er.1 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing or any other condition exists which may cause a danger of drift from the irrigation field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North 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. 3 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not damaged by burning or smothering of the plant. This is an important consideration where swine, poultry or other ammonia rich waste is being surface applied. Surface broadcast solids or slurries may damage crops if leaf surfaces are matted. Generally waste should be applied such that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. This should not normally be a concern where diluted, low nutrient waste islirrigated or surface broadcast from a liquids holding structure. Where crops are severely damaged due to waste application, the plants cannot assimilate the nutrients and discharge of pollutants to surface waters is likely to occur. The potential for -salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. On soils with a high potential for leaching, multiple application at lower rates should be used. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production & reduce the potential for pollution, the waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil, or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: 'The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal). Animal waste (other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995,) shall not be applied an than 25 feet to surface water. 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 shall not be applied on grassed waterways which discharge directly into water courses. If animal waste is to be applied on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates and in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 4 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon/holding pond 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/holding pond areas .should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon/holding pond berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. A 18- If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is =responsible for obtaining and implementing an "approved closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. 20; Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it should only be applied preplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible permanent markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate - determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. Soil pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. (See Table Below) 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC regulations. North Carolina General Statute 106-403 requires that dead animals be disposed of within 24 hours in a manner approved by the state veterinarian. Calibration Applicators can apply manure, litter and wastewater at varying rates and patterns, depending on forward travel and/or PTO speed, gear box settings, gate openings, operating pressures, spread widths and overlaps. Calibration defines the combination of settings and travel speed needed to apply manure, litter or wastewater at a desired rate and to ensure uniform application. Spreader CapacilY Liquid spreader capacities are normally rated by the manufacturer in gallons. Multiply gallons by 0.0042 to get tons. Solid and semi -solid spreader are rat4by the manufacturer either in bushels or cubic feet (multiply bushels by 1.24 to get cubic feet). Most spreaders have two rating capacities: 1) struck or level full, and 2) heaped. Since manures and litters have different densities, an on -farm test should be done. Fill a five -gallon bucket level full with material to be spread. Do not pack the material in the bucket but ensure that it settles similar to a loaded spreader. Weigh the bucket full and then empty. Multiply the weight of the contents by 1.5 to get pounds per cubic feet. Multiply this value times the cubic feet capacity of the spreader and divide by 2000 to get the tons of material in a spreader load. manure weight, lbs. x 1.5 x spreader capacity, ft' = 2000 = spreader load, tons Spreader Calibration Calibration Method 1: This method is most useful for liquid spreaders but can be used for all types. Spread at least one full load of manure preferably in a square or rectangular field pattern for ease of measuring with normal overlaps. Measure the length and width of coverage recognizing that the outer fringe areas of the coverage will receive much lighter applications than the overlapped areas. Multiply the length by the width and divide by 43,560 to determine the coverage area in acres. Divide the tons of manure in the spreader by the acres covered to determine the application rate in tons per acre. spreader manure, tons _(coverage length, ft x width, ft _ 43,560)= application rate, ton/ac Repeat the procedures at different speeds and/or spreader settings until the desired application rate is achieved. Example: What forward speed would be needed to apply 6.0 tons litter per acre from a spreader with a 6- ton capacity, a 5-minute spreading time, and a 25-feet spreading width ? Forward speed, mph = capacity. tons x 495 time� (min.) x width x rate, tons per acre = 6 tons x 495 S:min. x 25 ft. x 6 ton per acre = 4 miles per hour Calibration Method 2: This method is often used for solid and semi -solid spreaders. A tarp or plastic sheet of about 100 square feet (9 ft. x 12 ft., 10 ft. x 10 ft., etc.) should be measured for exact surface area (length x width), weighed using a set of spring -tension or platform scales, then spread and pinned on the field surface. The spreader should be operated at its normal settings, speed and overlap. With a rear discharge spreader, three passes should be made: the first directly over the center of the sheet, the other two on opposite sides of the center at the normal spreader overlap spacing. The sheet with the collected manure should again be weighed. Subtract the empty sheet weight from the total weight to get the weight of the collected manure. Multiply the pounds of collected manure by 21.8 and divide by the collection area of the sheet in square feet to get the application rate in tons per acre. collected manure, lbs. x 21.8 _ collection area, ft2 = application rate, tons/acre Repeat the procedure using different settings or speeds to obtain the desired application rate. Spreader Pattern Uniformity To determine uniformity of spread and the amount of overlap needed, place a line of small pans or trays equally spaced (2 - 4 feet apart) across the spreader path. The pans should be a minimum of 12 in. by 12 in. or 15 in. diameter, no more than 24 in. by 24 in., and 2 in. - 4 in. deep. Make one spreading pass directly over the center pan. Weigh the contents caught in each pan or pour the contents into equally sized glass cylinders or clear plastic tubes and compare the amount in each. The effective spread width can be found by locating the point on either side of the path center where the manure contents caught in the containers is half of what it is in the center. The distance between these points is the effective spread width. The outer fringes of the coverage area beyond these points should be overlapped on the next path to ensure a uniform rate over the area. "M", "W ', "steeple", or "lopside" patterns are not satisfactory and one or more of the spreader adjustments should be made. Contact your local Cooperative Extension Agent for help in Spreader Calibration. r The following applies. if irrigation is your method of application. The irrigation application rate should not exceed the s infiltration rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. It is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in tables 1 through 3. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen.shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying forage plants under stress condition. Nitrate poisoning may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended. a 3.1 ME.. x ACTION CONTACTS CATEGORY EXAMPLES o4vious Threat F Complete structural failure; 1.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Soil Consetvation Service SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF PONDS AND RESERVOIRS NC-ENG-13b Rev. 5/83 Clearing: All trees and brush shall be removed from the impoundment area before any water is — impounded. Whenever practical, this clearing should be delayed until after the dam is built to hold erosion and downstream sedimentation to a minimum. Stumps may be removed or trees may be sawed off as low as practical and stumps left standing. The foundation of the impoundment atructure (dam) shall be cleared of all trees, stumps, roots, brush, sod', and debris. All stumps and all roots exceeding one (1) inch in diameter shall be removed to a minimum depth of one (1) foot. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. After clearing is completed the foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly -and ' roughly leveled, with suitable equipment, before placement of any embankment material." Cutoff Trench: A cutoff trench shall be excavated as shown on the plane. The cutoff trench shall be backfilled in thin layers, not to exceed 8 inches in depth: All standing water shall be removed from the trench before backfilling is started. Embankment 'Construction: The material placed in the embankment shall be free of sod, roots, stones over b inches in diameter, and other objectionable materials. The fill material-ehall Con . be placed and spread over the entire fill in layers not to exceed 8 inches in thickness. Con- struction of the fill shall be undertaken only.at such'times that the moisture content -of the fill material will permit a reasonable degree of compaction. C$ hee.p Foo+ fe11GC CC q µ�re_C0 Fill Materials: Borrow areas will be designated on the plane and assigned priority (1, 2, 3, etc.). All fill material shall be taken from these designated areas. SCS technicians will advise the contractor regarding the maximum depth of cut in each borrow area. The contractor will not exceed this depth. In the event this depth is exceeded in the impoundment area, 'it shall be the responsibility of the contractor, without additional cost to the landowner, to cover the exposed area with a minimum of 2 feet of impervious material. Riser 6 Conduit Pipe: When it is indicated on the plans that a riser and conduit pipe are re- quired, they must be installed as a complete unit. The inlet of the riser shall be protected. by an inverted bucket -type, or an equally effective type, of trash rack. The conduit shall be placed on a firm foundation. Selected backfill material shall be placed around the riser and conduit pipe in layers not exceeding 4 inches and each successive layer thoroughly compacted. Vegetated Spillway(s): Spillway(s) will be excavated in undisturbed earth to the dimensions, grades, slopes, and location as shown in the plans and as staked upon the ground. Pollution Control During Construction: Stripping of embankment and borrow areas shall be done as they are needed in a normal sequence of construction. Use temporary mulch protection on all disturbed areas that are subject to erosion and will not have substantial additional work per- formed for 30 days or more. Temporary stream crossing structures will be used where fording of streams will cause excessive sediment pollution. Protection against pollutants such as chemicals, fuel, lubricants, sewage, etc., will be provided during construction. Vegetation: All exposed embankment, spillway, and borrow area shall be seeded to an adapted type of vegetation.as soon as possible after construction.

PeOm 35248 lbs./yr. k::eD 30495 lbs./yr. 3ENNETT.(supplement pg. 2) MANAGEMENT FACTS: This analysis presumes that the waste will be stored in a anaerobic lagoon and will be irrigated. The initial start-up of a lagoon is critical. Each lagoon has a calculated minimum design volume (MDV). If manure loading begins in the fall or winter, the MDV ( 1952290 gallons), must be filled first. When loadirig begins at any other time, �it least 1/2 of the minimum design volume must be in the lagoon prior to loading. Once the lagoon is being u612d, it should never be evacuated to less than the -minimum design volume. Failure to do any of these items may result in odor problems. Manure and wastewater should be loaded on a continuous basis. Daily loading is desirable. Slug loading.may cause odor problems. The dilution volume (DV) and the annual manure and wastewater volume must be spread on the land each year. Regular yearly dilution of lagoon contents is essential for odor control. During the course of one year, this lagoon will store up to 2710927 gallons of waste and water. Prior to emptying the lagoon, it should be initially agitated for at least 1 day. Additional agitation may be needed during the emptying process. Ground conditions need to be evaluated prior to beginning irrigation. Excessively wet conditions or excessively dry conditions should be avoided. since waste may either run off or flew thru Cl-acks to subsurface drainage systems. Wind conditions should be observed to avoid drift and odor problems. Subsurface outlets and downstream drainage should be constantly monitored. Ma,:imum application rates should consider the intake capability of the particular soils that the waste is applied on. For most soils, a recommended maximum application rate is 0.5 inches. Using irrigation equipment pumping 500 gallon per minute, emptying the lagoon would require approximately 90 hours of pumping time each year.

If intermittent loading is necessary, the minimum depth (MDV) should be maintained by addition of water. Elcu. 91L.o 12.oFf. MDR _ elcu. 9G•7 14-7Ff. -Delp t MALL- l.9ard The purpose of this plan is to provide guidelines foL carrying out the routine maintenance work needed to keep this lagoon operating as planned. Routine maintenance is considered to be normal good care of the lagoon. Good maintenance adds to the usefulness and permanence. In addition severe storms that cause flow in the vegetated spillway will likely call for maintenance, such as, replacing and compacting soil in washes or gulles, reestablishment of vegetation, removal of debris and the like. When such work is necessary, the Soil Conservation Service, if requested, will provide technical assistance to help with the repair. This type of maintenance should be done as soon as possible after damage is discovered. The routine maintenance of this lagoon involves the following: 1. Maintenance of a vegetative cover on the dam and in the spillway: T // {e.c cu.e (Type of Vegetation) is being established on these areas. Beginning in /-c? o (Year) and each year thereafter, the dam.and spillway should be fertilized with /opp pounds of /v-in -i0 per acre to maintain a vigorous stand. 2. Removal of logs, brush, or other trash from the entrance of the pipe spillway, the grass spillway, and the face of the dam: This should be done after each rise in the pond surface that deposits such material. Unless this material is removed, the pipe spillway is likely to become clogged and the vegetation killed in the affected areas. 3. Protection of the Grass Spillway: The spillway can be severely damaged by uncontrolled vehicular traffic. Trails or ruts made by such traffic could become large gullies when outflow occurs in the spillway. If ruts or trails appear to be forming, stop all traffic within the spillway area. flainr.ruance inspections'oE thisshould be made during the initial filling, at 1"nst annually, and after every major storm. items to be checked should 'include, as a minimum, the following: L. Outfall pipe a, condition of pipe (1) signs of seepage , (2) separation of joints (3) cracks or.breaks 2.

Routine main- tenance is considered to be normal good care of the pond.' Good maintenance adds to beauty, usefullness, and permanence. In a&ition severe storms that cause flow in the vegetated spillway will likely call -for maintenance, such as, replacing and. compacting soil in washes or gullies, reestablishment of vegetation, removal of debris and the like. When such work is necessary, the Soil Conservation Service, if requested, will provide technical assistance to help with the repair. This type of maintenance should be done as soon as possible after damage is discovered. The routine maintenance of this pond involves the following: 1. Maintenance of a vegetative cover on the dam and in the spillway: Fn9cc« (Type of Vegetation) is being established on these areas. Beginning in 191 (Year) and each year thereafter, the dam and spillway should be fertilized with Sea pounds of 10-16--/6 per acre to maintain a vigorous stand. 2.Removal of logs, brush, or other trash from the entrance of the pipe spillway, the grass spillway, and the face of the dam: This should be done after.each rise in the pond surface that deposits such material. Unless this material is removed, the pipe spillway is likely to become clogged and the vegetation killed in the affected areas. 3. Control of weeds, brush, and trees in the grass spillway on the dam and. in the outlet channel for a short distance below the pipe outlet: This may be done by mowing, spraying, or chopping, or a combination of all three. This will need to 'be done at least once each year and possibly twice in years favorable to heavy growth of vegetation. You may check with the local Extension Agent or SCS office for the latest information on spray material and the best time to apply them. 4. If the dam and spillway .are to be grazed, be sure to remove all live- stock when grass has been grazed down to a height of 4 inches. Also, remove livestock when the dam and spillway are wet and soft. Severe damage can be done by livestock at such times'. 5. Protection of the Grass Spillway: The spillway can be severely damaged by uncontrolled vehicular traffic. Trails or ruts made by such traffic could become large sullies when outflow occurs in the spillway. If ruts or trails aopear to be forming, stop all traffic within the spillway area. 6. Erosion by Wave Action: It is not expected that erosion of the dam _. by waves will be a severe problem. However, should such erosion start, lower the level of the lake until the water surface is about 4 feet below the eroded area. Replace the soil that has been eroded away, tamp it in place, and resod. Fertilize when the new sod takes root. Keep the water surface drawn down and exclude livestock until the new sod is firmly established. Maintenance inspections of this pond should be made ddiing the initial filling, at least annually, and after every major storm. Items,rto be checked should include, as a minimum, the following: 1. Principal Spillway a. damage or obstructions to trash rack or gates b. condition of riser and pipe (1) signs of seepage (2) separation of joints (3) cracks or breaks 2. ,Emergency Spillway a. erosion b. sedimentation C. weeds, small trees, logs, fences, or other obstructions that reduce channel capacity or may block flow 3.
