The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste
should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for t he crops in the
fields where the waste is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be ana lyzed
before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all p lant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in the implementing your waste utilization plan in order t o
maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an en vironmentally
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 uti lize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials,
cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacitie s.
3. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at more than 5 t ons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, bu t
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter stri ps ar e
established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is
frozen . Either of these conditions may in runoff to the surface wa t ers which is not
allowed under DWQ regulations.
S. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crops production and t o reduce the potential fo r
pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or app lied 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 applications met hods 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 con tent and the 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.
YOUR WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING :

The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requ irements. In t he future,
regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that
addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc. interseeded in bermudagrass), forage must be remo ved through
grazing, hay and /or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine
inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain
etc. is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain to reach materity,
especially late in the season ( i.e: April or May) Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will
definitely interfere with the stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less
nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal
situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage
two to three times during the season, depending on the time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc. is late September or early October . Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of abou t two inches before dri lling for best
results.
Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning
may occur in livestock . Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended.
Acres shown in the tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding requ i red buffers, filters 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 field listed may, and most likely wi11 be; more than the acres
shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal wa ste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of slud ge at agronomic r ates.
The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over applica t ion of n utrients
or oth er elements. Your production facility wi11 produce approximately 1588 lbs. of plant available
nitrogen per year in the sludge.
If you remove sludge every 5 years you wi11 have approximately 7938 lbs. of PAN to utilize. Assumin g
you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs/a cre you will need 26
acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lbs. of nitrogen per acre y o u will need 64
acres of land. Plea se be aware that these are only est mates of the PAN and t he land need ed. Actual
requirements could vary by 25% depending on the sludge waste analysis, soil t ypes, r ealistic yields, and
application methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the tim e of irriga t ion such that
runoff or pending occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, so il structure, soil textu re, water
droplet size, and org anic so lid s. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity
Bobby & Todd M ars hall Page 4
of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should t he plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen nee ds 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 irriga tio n sy stem is installed to properly irrrigate. the acres shown in tables.
Fa ilure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan
invalid.

This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the
crop is not over applied. In many situations the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the
nitrogen limitations. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the
average of once every 6 months. In no instances 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 the waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated
properly to apply the correct rates shown in the tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of
nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you have receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the
amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to appling the waste.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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.
There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an
agreement for use ofadequate land on which to properly apply 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.
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.
Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons pe r 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).
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.
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.)
Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate that runoff
does not occur offsite or to the surface waters and in a method which doe s not cause drift
from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies .
Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall even ts, or when the
surface is frozen .
9. Animal waste shall be appli ed on actively growing crops in such a manner t ha t the crop is
not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage
from animal waste should also be considered.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a
high potentual for leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a
minimum and a suitable winte r cover crop planted to take up released nutrien ts . 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 compl y with the following:
The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied fr om a la goo n that is a
component of a swine farm shall be at least SO feet from any residenrial property boundary
and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or canal. An imal
waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be
applied closer than 25 feet to pe rennial waters . (See Standard 393-Filte r Strips).
Bobby & Todd Marshall
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
Page 7
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned
by he 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
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 that discharge directly into water
courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a
manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities , showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall
not be discharged into the animal waste management system .
17 . A protective cover of appropriate vegtation 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 evidences of
erosion, leakage or discharge.
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illigal 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 chec klist should be
kept on site .
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetation and other crops for direct
human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human
consumption it should only be applied pre-plant with no further applications of animal waste
during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and the 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 wa ste products are applied . Nitrogen shall be the rate-determining
element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites
shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels . pH 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 . Waste application record s for all other waste shall be maintained for five (S) years .
23 . Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste
should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the
fields where the waste is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed
before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in the 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 not be applied to land eroding at more 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 in runoff to the surface waters which is not
allowed under DWQ regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems .
6 . To maximize the value of the nutrients for crops 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 applications 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
Bobby & Todd Marshall Page2
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 the crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop prqduction. This
waste utilization plan , if carried out. meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Applying the above amount of w aste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply
the waste in a t imely manner.
Bobby & Todd Marshall Page 3
' The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future,
regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that
addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen .
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain , etc. interseeded in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through
grazing, hay and /or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine
inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain
etc. is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain to reach materity,
especially late in the season (i.e. April or May) Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will
definitely interfere with the stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less
nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal
situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage
two to three times during the season , depending on the time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain , etc. is late September or early October . Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best
results. ·
Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning
may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended .
Acres shown in the tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filters 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 field 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 approx imately 1588 lbs. of plant available
nitrogen per year in the sludge.
If you remove sludge every 5 years you will have approximately 7938 lbs. of PAN to utilize. Assuming
you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs/acre you will need 26
acres of land . If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lbs . of nitrogen per acre you will need 64
acres of land . Please be aware that these are only estmates of the PAN and the land needed . Actual
requirements could vary by 25% depending on the 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 pond i ng 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
Bobby & Todd Marshall Page4
of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant availab le ni t rogen 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 irrrigate the acres shown in tables.
Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan
invalid.
The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
Bobby & Todd Marshall Page6
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 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 appl ied 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 1 0 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 that runoff
does not occur offsite or to the 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 conside red .
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a
high potentual 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 residenrial 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).
Bobby & Todd Marshall
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
Page 7
13. Animal waste shalt not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned
by he landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shalt not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
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 specialisf'.
Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water
courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a
manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall
not be discharged into the animal waste management system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegtation 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 evidences of
erosion, leakage or discharge.
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated , the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illigal 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 vegetation and other crops for direct
human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human
consumption it should only be applied pre-plant with no further applications of animal waste
during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and the 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 soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites
shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. 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.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Sampson County
In accordance with your application received on · 4-Jan-07, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Bobby E Marshall, authorizing the operation of the subject
animal waste management system in accordance with General Permit A WG 100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
and land application of animal waste as specified in the facility 's Certified Animal Waste Management
Plan (CA WMP) for the Bobby & Todd Marshall, located in Sampson County, with an animal capacity of
no greater than the following swine annual averages:
Wean to Finish: 0 Feeder to Finish: 4410
Wean to Feeder: 0
Farrow to Finish: 0
Farrow to Wean: 0
Farrow to Feeder: 0
Boar/Stud: 0
Gilts: 0
If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows.
Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows
may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009 and replaces the NPDES
COC issued to this facility with an expiration date of July 1, 2007. You are required to continue
conducting annual surveys of sludge accumulation in all lagoons at your facility; the one-year extension
in Condition TII.19 does not apply.
Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the
conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An
adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information
must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design
capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a
modification to the CA WMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either
wastewater flow or number of animals.
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is
a package containing the new and revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay
careful attention to the record keepin!! and monitoring conditions in this permit.

If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site-specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules, standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property.
Upon· abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
doc~entati;n 't~ the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking
of the facility.
Per 15A NCAC 02T .Olll(c) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 1 00-foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon, storage pond, or any wetted area of a
spray field.
Per 15A NCAC 02T .1306, any containment basin, such as a lagoon or waste storage structure, shall
continue to be subject to the conditions and requirements of the facility's permit until closed to NRCS
standards and the permit is rescinded by the Division.

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste
should bo 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 aU plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in the 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 not be applied to land eroding at more 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 in runoff to the surface waters which is not
allowed under DWQ regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crops 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 applications 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
RECEIVED I OENR I O~vQ
A .f r pr"tar.tifln SP.ctiOO (\11\P.. '"'·'-'.
MAR 3 0 2009
Bobby & Todd Marshall Page2
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 the 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.

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.
Bobby & Todd Marshall Page 3
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future,
regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that
addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc. interseeded in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through
grazing, hay and /or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine
inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain
etc. is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain to reach materity,
especially late in the season ( i.e. April or May) Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will
definitely interfere with the stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less
nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal
situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage
two to three times during the season, depending on the time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc. is late September or early October . Drilling is recommended over
broactca5ting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best
results. ·
Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning
may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended.
Acres shown in the tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filters 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 field 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 1588 lbs. of plant available
nitrogen per year in the sludge.
If you remove sludge every 5 years you will have approximately 7938 lbs. of PAN to utilize. Assuming
you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs/acre you will need 26
acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lbs. of nitrogen per acre you will need 64
acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estmates of the PAN and the land needed. Actual
requirements could vary by 25% depending on the 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
Bobby & Todd Marshall Page4
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 irrrigate the acres shown in tables .
Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts o f nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan
invalid.

This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the
crop is not over applied. In many situations the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the
nitrogen limitations. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the
average of once every 6 months. In no instances 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 the waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated
properly to apply the correct rates shown in the tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of
nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you have receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the
amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to appling the waste.
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
Bobby & Todd Marshall PageS
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 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 1 0 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 that runoff
does not occur offsite or to the surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application. No pending 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.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a
high potentual 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 residenrial 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).

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
Page 7
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned
by he 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
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 specialisf'.
Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water
courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a
manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall
not be disCharged into the animal waste management system.
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegtation 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 evidences of
erosion, leakage or discharge.
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illigal 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 vegetation and other crops for direct
human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human
consumption it should only be applied pre-plant with no further applications of animal waste
during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and the bottom elevations of the
temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be

Your facility is currently approved for operation under one of the Animal Waste Operation NPDES General Permits, which expire on
July 1, 2007. Due to changes in federal rules, facilities that do not discharge nor propose to discharge may choose whether or not to
retain coverage under an NPDES General Permit. Copies of the draft animal waste operation NPDES general permits and the State
Non-Discharge General Permits are available at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/aps/afouldownloads.htm or by writing or calling:

Dear Bobby Eulus Marshall,
Subject: Notification for Phosphorus Loss Assessment
Bobby & Todd Marshall
Permit Number NCA282657
Facility 82-657
Sampson County
There is a condition in your recently-issued Animal Waste Management General.NPDES Permit
· addressing phosphorous loss standards. The permit condition quoted below states that if the state or
federal government establishes phosphorus loss standards your facility must conduct an evaluation within
180 days . The Federal Natural Resources Conservation Service has now established this standard. A
computer-based program was developed to determine how much phosphorus was being lost from
different fields . Instructions on how to comply with this requirement are provided below.
. .-
In accordance with your NPDES Permit Number NCA282657 Condition 1.6, your facility must now
conduct a Phosphorus Loss Assessment. Condition 1.6 states:
"If prior to the expiration date of this permit either the state or federal government establishes
Phosphorus loss standards that are applicable to land application activities at a facility operating
under this permit, the Permittee must conduct an evaluation of the facility and its CA WMP under
the requirements of the Phosphorus loss standards to determine the facility 's ability to comply
with the standards. This evaluation must be documented on forms supplied or approved by the
Division and must be submitted to the Division. This evaluation must be completed by existing
facilities within six (6) month~ of receiving notification from the Division.
Once Phosphorus loss standards are established by the state or federal government that are
applicable to facilities applying to operate under this permit, no Certificate of Coverage will be
issued to any new or expanding facility to operate under this permit until the applicant
demonstrates that the new or expanding facility can comply with these standards."
The method of evaluation is the Phosphorous Loss Assessment Tool (PLAT) developed by NC State
University and the Natural Resources Conservation Service. PLAT addresses four potential loss
pathways: leaching, erosion. runoff and direct movement of waste over the surface. Each field must be
individually evaluated and rated as either low, medium, high or very high according to its Phosphorus
Aquifer Prot~tion S ection

loss potential. The ratings for your farm must be reported to DWQ using the attached certification form.
The PLAT forms must be kept as records on your farm for future reference.
From the date of receipt of this letter, a period of 180 days is provided to perform PLAT and return the
certification form to DWQ. Only a teclmical specialist who has received specific training may perform
PLAT. You are encouraged to contact a technical specialist now to run PLAT on your farm. Your local
Soil and Water Conservation District may be able to provide assistance. This information on the attached
form(s) must be submitted within 180 days of receipt of this letter to:
Animal Feeding Operations Unit
Division of Water Quality
1636 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1636
NPDES permitted farms will need to have implemented a nutrient management plan which addresses
phosphorus loss before the next permit cycle beginning July, 2007 . If you have any fields with a high or
very high rating, then your waste utilization plan will require modifications. The purpose of performing
PLAT this early is to allow adequate time for making. waste plan modifications where necessary. With
the next permit, continued application of waste will not be allowed on fields with a very high rating. For
fields rated high, only the amount of phosphorus projected to be removed by the harvested crop. For low
and medium ratings, phosphorus will not be the limiting factor. Once the PLAT evaluation is completed
on your farm, you will know if you have fields that need further work. You are encouraged to begin
developing and implementing a strategy to deal witli any issues as soon as possible.
Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the respons ibility or
liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statue or permitting requirement.
If you-have any questions regarding this letter, please do not hesitate to contact me at (919) 7 15-6697 or

Dear Bobby Eulus Marshall:
Subject: Certificate of Coverage No. NCA282657
Bobby & Todd Marshall
Swine Waste Collection, Treatment,
Storage and Application System
Sampson County
On March 14, 2003, the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (Division) issued an NPDES General
Pennit for swine facilities. The General Pennit was .issued to enable swine facilities in North Carolina to
obtain coverage under a single permit that addresses both State and Federal requirements.
In accordance with your application received on January 30, 2003, we are hereby forwarding to you this
Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Bobby Eulus Marshall, authorizing the operation of the subject
animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with NPDES
General Permit NCA200000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and tenninates your COC Number
A WS820657 to operate under State Non-Discharge Permit AWG 100000.
This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management
of animal waste from the Bobby & Todd Marshall, located in Sampson County, with an animal capacity
of no greater than an annual average of 4410 Feeder to Finish swine and the application to land as
specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CA WMP). If this is a Farrow to
Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are
unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced
by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows
The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until July 1, 2007. Pursuant to this COC, you are
authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as
specified in the General Pennit. the facility's CA WMP, and this COC. An a dequate system for collecting
and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this
facility . Any increase in waste production greater thari the certified design capacity or increase in number
of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to theCA WMP and
this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals.
r ~:
Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed General Permit. Since this is a new joint State and
Federal general permit it contains many new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained
in the current State general pennit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and
revised forms used for record keeping and reporting. Please pay careful attention to the record keeping
and monitoring conditions in this permit. The Devices to Automatically Stop Irrigation Events Form
must be returned to the Division of Water Quality no later than 120 days following receipt of the
Certificate of Coverage. The Animal Facility Annual Certification Form must be completed and returned
to the Division of Water Quality by no later than March 1st of each year.

If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation
of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is
..... inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.
The issuance of this COC does not excuse the Permittee from the obligation to comply with all applicable
laws, rules , standards, and ordinances (local, state, and federal), nor does issuance of a COC to operate
under this permit convey any property rights in either real or personal property .
Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more, the Permittee must submit
documentation to the Division demonstrating that· all current NRCS standards are met prior to restocking
of the facility.
·Per 15A NCAC 2H .0225(c) a compliance boundary is provided for the facility and no new water supply
wells shall be constructed within the compliance boundary. Per NRCS standards a 100 foot separation
shall be maintained between water supply wells and any lagoon or any wetted area of a spray field.
Please be advised that any violation of the terms and conditions specified in this COC, the General Permit
or the CAWMP may result in the revocation of this COC, or penalties in accordance with NCGS 143-
215.6A through 143-215.6C, the Clean Water Act and 40 CFR 122.41 including civil penalties, criminal
penalties, and injunctive relief.

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
spec1±1ed rate to prevent pollution o£ surface water and/or
groundwater. The plant nutrients i~·th~ anima£ ~ast~ should be use
to reduce the amount o£ commercia! ~ertilizer required for the
crops in the f1elda where the waste is to· be applied.
Thls waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting
nutrien~. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle.
Annual Boll testa are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutr1ents can be balanced for realistic yields 6£ the crop ·to be
grown.
Several £actore are 1mportant in implementing your waste
ut111zat~on plan 1n order to maximize the fertilizer value o£ the
waste and to enaure that it is applied in an environmentally ~a£e
manne1··:
1. Always apply waete based on the needa of the crop to be grown
and the nutrient content o£ the waste. Do not apply more
nitrogen than th~ crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are important as they have di£ferent in£iltration
rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and
available water holding capacities ..
3. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at more
than 5 tans per acre per year. Waste may be applied_to land
eroding at 5 or more tons pe~ acre annually, but less than
10 tans per acre per year providing that adequate £1lter
atr1pa are established. _
4. Do nat apply waete on eaturated soils, when it is rainlng, or
wh~n the surface is £rozen. Either a£ these conditions may
in runoff to the surface water~ which is not allowed under DWO
regulations.
5. W1nd conditions should also be considered to availd drift and
downwind odor problema.
6. To ma~imize the value of the nutrients for crop production and
to reduce the potential £or pollution, the waste should be
applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days
pr~ar to plant1ng a crop or foragea breaking dormancy.
ln.Je•.::t.1ng the waste or· disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problema.
Thls pian 1a baaed on the waste app~icatian method shown above. If
you choose to change methods in the £uture, you need to revise
this plan. Nutrient levels £or di££erent application methode are
not the same.
The est1llialed acres needed to apply the animal waste is baaed an
typ1cal nutrient content for this .type of facility. Acreage
requirements should be baaed on the waste analysis report from
your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have
Bobby & Todd Marshall Page 2
l)lanL analysis ~ade, whi ch could allow additional waste to be
applied. Proviaiona ahall be made for the area receiving waete to
be flexibl e so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content
and the crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the
optimum range £or specific crop production.
Thie waste utilization plan, i£ carried out, meets the
requ1rementa for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .021? adopted by the
Environmental Management Commission.

T!"!e appl.l c:ator i&. cautioned that P and K may be over applied while
meet1~g ~he N requirements. In the future, regulations may require
£.~I.··m.:=::t·:?. l.n .:::.c,ute par·t.e of North Carolina to have a nutrient
managsment plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only
addresse s nitrogen.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in
bermu d agrasa), £orage must be removed through grazing, hay and/or
silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a
height o£ si~ to nine inches. Cattle should be removed when plants
ate g ~azed to a height of four inches. In £ields where small grain
etc, 1~ to be rellioved for hay or silage, care should be exercised
not to to let small grain to reach maturity, especially late in
the season (1.e. April or May). Shading may result i£ small grain
gets t.oo high and this 1.1ill definitely interfere with stand o£
bermudagraea. This lose o£ stand will result in reduced yields and
lees n1t.rogen being ut1lized. Rather than cutting small grain £or
hay or a1lage just before heading as is the -normal situation, you
are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to
conal der harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the
season, depending on time small grain is planted in the £all.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September
or early October. D~illing is recommended over broadcasting.
Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height o£ about two
inches be£ore drilling for beet results.
Caution must be e~er c ised in grazing or haying summer annuals
under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning ~ay occur in
livestock. Sampling forage or hay £or nitrate levels is
l,'ec:omritended.
Acres shown in the tables are considered to be the usable acres
excluding required buffers , filter strips along ditches, odd
areas unable ta be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates . due to equipment limitations. Actual totai
acres in the field listed may, and most likely will be, more than
the ac r es shown in the tables.
See attach~d map showing the £ields to be used £or the utilization
o£ an.l.ntal w.a e t e .
SLUDGE .APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provision for periodic
land application o£ sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be
nutr i ent ~ich and will ~equire precautionary measures to prevent
over appli c ation o£ nutrients or other elements. Your production
fa c ility will produce app~oximately 1588 lbs. of plant available
nit r ogen per y ear in the sludge.
If you remove sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately
7938 lba. o£ PAN to utilize. assuming you apply this PAN to
hybrid bermudagraas h a yland at the rate o£ 300 lba. o£ nitrogen
per acr e, you will need 26 acres of land. I£ you apply the
sludge to c o~n a t the ~ate of 125 lbs. o£ nitrogen per acre, you
will n@ e d 64 a cres of land. Plea se be aware th a t these ar e
only esti mate s o£ the PAN a nd l and n eeded . Actual requirements
could v ar y by 25~ dep e nd in g o n your · sludge waste analysis, soil
type s , realistic yiel ds , and application methods.

APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
Th o:: i1·r i g-71t1 em appl i c:ation r -ate should not exceed the intake rate
of the soil at the time o£ irrigation such that runo££ or pending
occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content,
soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic
8olids . The application am6unt should not exceed the available
water noldlng capacity o£ the soil at the time a£ irrigation nor
shou ld the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen
needs of ~he crop.
I£ surface irrigation ie the method o£ land application £or this
plan, it is the responsibility o£ the producer and irrigation
designer to ensure that an irrigation system ia installed to
properly irrigate the acres shown in tables. Failure to apply the

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1 . An i mal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by
runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or
dire ct discharge during operation or land application. Any
dis c harge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2 . The re must be documentation in the design folder that the
pro ducer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate
l and on which to properly apply the waste . If the producer does
n o t own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall
p r ovide a copy of an agreement with a landowner who is within a
reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for
wa s t e application ... It is the respo_nsibi1ity of the owner of the
f acility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when
there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of
an i mals, method of utilization, or a v ailable land .
3 . An i mal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the
ni trogen needs for re a listic crop yields based on soil type,
a vailable moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and
leve l of management, unless there are regulations that restrict
t h e rate of application for other nutrients.
4. An i mal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons
p e r a c r e per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding
at 5 o r more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per year
p r ovi d ing grass f i l ter stri ps are installed where runoff leaves
t he fie ld. (See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strip)
5. Odors c an b e reduced by injecting the waste o r disking after
waste a pplicat i on. Waste should not be applied when there is
d a n ge r of drift f rom the irrigat i on field.
6. Whe n a n imal waste is to b e applied on acres subject to
f l ood i ng, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled
crop land . Wh e n applied to conservat ion t~lled c rops or
gra s sland, the wa s te may be broadc ast provided the application
d oes n o t occur during a se a son pro ne to flooding. (See 11 Weather

Irrigation
The waste f~om your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution .of surface water .and /or
groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops
in the fields where the waste .is to be applied .
This waste utilization plan uses ni tr.ogen 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
b~lanced f or iealistic yields of th~ crop t o b~ grbwn.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization
plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to
ensure t ·ha t it is ·applied in an environmentally safe manner :
1 . . Always apply waste based on the nee ds o f the crop t o be
grown and the n ut rient · content of the waste. ·oo riot apply
more nitrogen than the crop can ut il ize.
2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration
ra tes, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and
available water hold ing c apaci ties .
3. Normally waste shall n ot be applied to land eroding at less
than 5 tons p e r acre per year . Waste may be applied to land .
e roding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than
10 tons per acre per ye ar providing that adequat e filter
strips are e stablished .
4. Do not apply waste ort satu rated

5. I' Wind condi tions should also be considered to avoid drift and
6.
downwind odor problems.
To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop product ion'
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 breakin~ dormancy.
Injecting the waste or disking wil l conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
This plan is b ase d on the waste appl i cation method s h own above. If
you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this
plan. Nutrient ·levels for different application m_ethods are not the
same.
The estimated acr~s needed to apply the ani ma l waste is based on
typical nutr ient content for this type of facili ty. Acreage
requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your
waste management facility. In some case s you may wa nt ~o have plant
analysis made, which cou ld allow additional waste to be ~pplied ..
Provisions sha ll be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible
so as to accommodate · changing waste analysi s· content and crop typ·e. .
Lime mu st be appli ed to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific
crop p roduc tio n. ·
This waste utilization plan , if carried out, meets the re~uirements
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H ·.0217 adopted by t he-Environmental
Management Commission .

Applying the a bove amount of waste is a big job. You shoul d p l an t ime

Indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. if!-terplante_d ) or
winter annuals follow summer annuals.
In interplan~ed fields ·(i.e. ~mall grain, etc, interseeded
in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through grazing,
hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed
when they reach a height of six to nine i nc he s . Cattle
should be removed when plants are grazed to a he ight o f four
inches. In fields where small grain, etc, is to be removed
for hay or silage, care should be exer~is~d not to let· small
grain to reach maturity, especially late in t he season (i.e.
April or May) . Shading may result if s mall grain gets too
high and this will definitely interfere with stand of
bermudagrass. This loss of stand will result i n reduced
yields and iess ·nitrogen bein~ util~zed. Rather than
cutting small grain for hay or silage j ust before heading as
is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small
grain earlier. You may want to conside r harvesting hay or
silage two to three times during the season, depending on
time small grain lS planted ln the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, eto, is late
September or early October. Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be gr azed or mowed to a
height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions f o r periodic land
application of sludge at agronomic rates. Th e sludge will be nutrient
rich and will require precautionary measures to p rev ent o v er applicat ion
of·nutrients or other elements. Your produc t i o n fa c ili ty will pro duce
approximately 1631.7 pounds of plant availabl e n it rogen p e r y ear in-the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you wi ll have· a pp r ox ima tely 8158.5
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN t o h y brid
bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 poun d s of ni t rogen per ~ere, you
will-need 27.195 acres of land. -If. you. apply the sludge t o corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 65.268 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estima t es of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 2 5 ~ depe ndi ng o n your
sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yiel d s, and application
·methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATI ON
The irrigation application rate should not e x ceed t h e intake rate o f the
soil at the time of irrigation such that run of f .or p e nding occ u rs. This
rate is limited by initial soil moisture c o n tent , soil s t ru c ture , soil
texture, water droplet size, and organic s ol i d s. The a pplic a t ion amount

WASTE \UTILIZATION
I I.
PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
~ t I ,
Animal waste shall not ~e-ach surface waters of the state by
runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, djrect ·application, or
direct discharge during dperation or land application. Any
discharge of waste which]reaches surface water is prohibited.
There must be documentaJ~~n in the design folder that the
producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate
land on which to properlylapply the waste. If the producer does
not own adequate land to 1properly dispose of waste, he/she shall
provide a copy of an agrJement with a landowner who is within a
reasonable_pro~imity, a~~owing him/he: ~h~ use of the land for
waste appl1cat1on. It 1s the respons1b1l1ty 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 ..
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 nutriehts.
Ariimal waste. shall be applied tb 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)
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.
When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to
floodin~, it will be soil ~ncorporated ori 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.)
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 pending should occur in order
to control odor or flies.
Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during
rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen.
I Animal waste shall be ap~lied on actively growing crops in such
a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that
would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal
waste should also be considered.

10. 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 i~ 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 irrigatibn ditch or canal. Animal waste other than
swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995),
shall not be ~pplied closer than 25 feet to perennial ~aters.
(See Standard 393 -Filter Strips) .
12. Animal waste shall not be applieq 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 landown·er.
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 inton 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 spe~ies, 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.

If animal production at the facility is to be suspende~ or
terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and_~:
implementing a "closure plan" whfch-will eliminat e the ll
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and eros~on.
I I
Waste handling structur,es, 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. l!
Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes getables
and other cro:es 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.
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 wast e .
products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the r ate -determining
element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be
monitored and alternative crop sites shall be u sed when thes .
metals approach e~tessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste
analysis records shall be kept for five years. Po ul ~ry dry
waste. application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all o ther waste shall be
maint~ined for fi~e (5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of 1n a manner that meets North
Carolina requlations.
