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 =1tilJ- ation plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. ;paste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crops to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities_ Normally, waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated Soils or on land when the surface is frozen_ Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop productzor and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be appliec to a growing crop or not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odos problems_ The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Actual acreage requirements may be more or less and should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples ---the- jab for analysis. w_ This waste utilization plan, if carried out"' t' the requirements for compliance with 15A R-.-tT2-17---adpp b the Environmental Management Commi s s ion . 1 J V 1'UJ MAR ED./ DENR 1 DWQ 2 7 2009 A Pr4A-0 )n Serti0n ..� AR 41112009 wr�swrxUro, R'VI SLD WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN FOR SW)NE OPERATION Amount of Nitrogen (N)produced-per vear 2400 feeder to finish X 2.3 lbs N/animal unit/year - 5520 2000 weanling to feeder Y .48 lbs N/animal unit/year = 960 TOTAL = 6480 Applying the above amount of waste is a big job.

Animal waste shalt 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. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide MRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample Enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at more than 5 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 Strips) 5. Odors can be reduced be injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. VIM WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN FOR SWINE OPERATION 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application. S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or if the soil surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively grooving crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to depth that would prohibit 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 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 a crop or forages breaking dormancy. 1 1 . 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 surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips.) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right- of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a discharge or by overspraying. 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 applied on grassed waterways shall be at agronomic rates provided the application 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. 512M WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN FOR SWINE OPERATION 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible.. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 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 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. Soil tests shall be made every two years and a liquid waste analysis be taken at least twice each year consistent with waste utilization plan. Poultry litter shall be tested prior to application. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC regulations. Your facility is designed for 365 days of temporary storage and should have the temporary storage removed on the average every 12 months_ In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 35.2. NOTE: 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 el emen is . 6:219s WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN FOR SWINE OPERATION Narrative of Operation: There is ample amount of acres for waste application, but with a 365 day pumping cycle there will be no shortage of acres with the crops listed in Table 1. Other crops can be used for application if waste is applied at agronomic rates. This lagoon was design and approve according to NRCS standards in 1990 by John Myers, DC. The waste irrigation system was approved by Sam Cox, AC a } • • r r 4� ' ii� I (We) understand, will implement and follow the specifications and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above. I (We) know teat any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment_ and/or storage system or construction of new facilities will require a new utilization Llasn and a new certification to be submitted to DEM before the new animals are stocked. I (We) also understand that there must be no dlscharae of animal waste from this system to surface waters of the state for any reason except storm events as severe as the 29-year, 24-hour storm or greater. The D.EM regulations require a copy of the approved plan be fired on -site at the farm office and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District and will be available for review by DEM upon request. Failure to comply with the waste utilization plan will automatically require any cost share funds to be refunded to their source.

The General Permit was issued in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733 (Session Law 2003-28). In accordance with your application received on February 28, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Bryant Perry, authorizing the operation of the subject animal waste collection, treatment, storage and land application system in accordance with General Permit AWG100000. The issuance of this COC supercedes and terminates your previous COC Number AWS720012 which expires October 1, 2004. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Belvidere Farms, located in Perquimans County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 2000 Wean to Feeder, 2400 Feeder to Finish swine and the application to Iand as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP). If this is a Farrow to Wean or Farrow to Feeder operation, there may also be one boar for each 15 sows. Where boars are unneccessary, they may be replaced by an equivalent number of sows. Any of the sows may be replaced by gilts at a rate of 4 gilts for every 3 sows The COC shall be effective from the date of issuance until September 30, 2009. Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational information must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals. Please carefully read this COC and the enclosed State General Permit. Since this is a revised State General Permit, it contains new requirements in addition to most of the conditions contained in the previous State General Permit. Enclosed for your convenience is a package containing the new and revised forms used for record keeping and reporting.

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 strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crops to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally, waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year - With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils or on lax when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result ir- runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwine odor problems_ To maximize the value of nutrients for crop productic and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applie to a growing crop or not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odc problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Actual acreage requirements may be more or less and should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility_ Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, an transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. 612196.

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. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample Enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. A 4. Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at n kore than 5 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 - Rlter Strips) 5. Odors can be reduced be injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. VMS WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN FOR SWINE OPERATION 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 Crmate in North Carolina" in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such runoff does not occur off -site 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 if the soil surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to depth that would prohibit 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 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 a 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 surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See Standard 393 -Filter Strips.) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public righ- of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a discharge or by overspraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site bi a "technical specialist". Animal waste applied on grassed waterways shall be at agronomic rates provided the application 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. VM6 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN FOR SWINE OPERATION 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. _Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.- 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, reefs, 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. Soil tests shall be made every two years and a liquid waste analysis be taken at least twice each year consistent with waste utilization plan. Poultry litter shall be tested prior to application. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC regulations. Your facility is designed for 36S days of temporary storage and should have the temporary storage removed on the average every 12 months. In no 1nstance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 35.2. NOTE: The Waste utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will he nutrient rich and will require precautionaxy measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other el emen is . 612195 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN FOR SWINE OPERATION Narrative of Operation: There is ample amount of acres for waste application, but with a 365 day pumping cycle there will be no shortage of acres with the crops listed in Table 1. Other crops can be used for application if waste is applied at agronomic rates_ This lagoon was design and approve according to NRCS standards in 1990 by John Myers, DC. The waste irrigation system was approved by Sam Cox, AC I (We) understand, will implement and follow the specifications and the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above. -1 (We) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and/or storage system or construction of new facilities will require a new utilization plan and a new certification to be submitted to DEM before the new animals are stocked. I (We) also understand that there must be no discharge of animal waste from this system to surface waters of the state for any reason except storm events as severe as the 25-year, 24-hour storm or greater. The DEM regulations require a copy of the approved plan be filed on -site at the farm office and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District and will be available for review by DEM upon request.

The Division's Groundwater Section has the responsibility for administering a program that prevents impacts to groundwater resources and is subsequently tasked with managing impacts if they occur. A large percentage of the state's population relies upon groundwater as their primary source of drinking water. As such, it is imperative that the Groundwater Section ensures that the quality of the groundwater resource meets the standards established by the Environmental Management Commission. There are approximately 3,544 non -discharge permitted land application systems for waste disposal in the state, which serve municipalities, industries, other sources, and concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). Some CAFOs are also permitted as NPDES systems. CAFOs located in North Carolina generate and dispose of large volumes of wastes, which contain marry constituents that have the potential to contaminate groundwater. Due to the potential for CAFOs to impact groundwater quality, it is necessary for the Groundwater Section to implement a plan that addresses environmental concerns for CAFOs. The state and primary stakeholders have agreed upon both an established screening criteria that will be used to identify which facilities may be evaluated and a protocol that directs how evaluations are to be conducted. Based on the findings of the evaluation, the Division will determine whether the Permit or Certificate of Coverage should be amended to address concerns associated with groundwater. Regional offices will evaluate facilities that meet one or more of the following criteria: Customer Service Division of Water Quality 1 Groundwater Section 1 800 623-7748 943 Washington Square Mail Washington, NC 27889 Phone: (252) 945-5481 Fax: (252) 975-3715 Internet: http://www.gw.ehnr.state.nc.us Mr. Bryant November 21, 2003 Page 2 (a) The facility has been issued an NOD or NOV from the Water Quality Section for over application of waste, inadequate cover crop, discharge or problems associated with the construction or operation of the lagoon; (b) The regional office staff had prior knowledge and concerns about the spray fields and/or lagoons; (c) The US Environmental Protection Agency has provided documentation of contamination related to an investigation of a facility; or (d) The facility operates adjacent to an offsite water supply well where existing well sampling data indicates water quality standards are exceeded. Records indicate that a Notice of Deficiency dated November 17, 1999 was issued or over application. As such, your facility has been identified as having met one or more of the above screening conditions and you are being notified in accordance with the approved plan. The Washington Regional Office Groundwater Section will be conducting further evaluations, which may include the sampling of on -site water supply wells and/or other wells in the vicinity of your facility, in the corning weeks. As part of the assessment, the Washington Regional Office Groundwater Section would like to sample the water supply wells located at your facility for water quality testing purposes. Samples would be analyzed for ammonia (NH3 as N), total kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN as N), and nitrate (NO3 as N). If you wish to have the wells at your facility sampled, please contact me by December I7, 2003 to grant approval. At the conclusion of the evaluation, a decision will be made as to whether your facility should be recommended to the Director requesting that your Permit and/or Certificate ofCoveragebe amended to include groundwater monitoring. Prior to an-, decision by the regional office, you will be notified of the findings of the evaluation and given an opportunity to provide additional information that should be considered.

The plant nutrients in the animal waste should he 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 Hmiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crops to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally, waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils or on lan when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and dcwnwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop productic and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be appliE to a growing crop or not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odc problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Actual acreage = requirements may be ;Wore or less and should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, an transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, for compliance with 15A NCAC M gemenpri Commission. 1—WN ATE if carried out, meets the requirements 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental TECH. SPEC.

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. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample Enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soii type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at more than 5 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 - Fitter Strips) 5. Odors can be reduced be injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. ow DATE TECH. SPEC. DATE 5MB5 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN FOR SWINE OPERATION 6. When animal' waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a'season prone to flooding. See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina,' in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such 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 if the soil surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to depth that would prohibit 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 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 a crop or forages breaking dormancy. 1 1 . 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 surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips.) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right- of-ways, ` 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a discharge or by overspraying. 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 applied on grassed waterways shall be at agronomic rates provided the application 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. U219b WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN FOR SWINE OPERATION 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to` areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 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 permanent markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping small 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. Soil tests shall be made every two years and a liquid waste analysis be taken at least twice each year consistent with waste utilization plan. Poultry litter shall be tested prior to application. Soil and waste analysis records shall be Kept for five years. 23. Dead animals will b-e disposed of in a manner that meets NC regulations. Your facility is designed for 120 days of temporary storage and should have the temporary storage removed on the average every 4. months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 35.4. NOTE: 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 . §atn WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN FOR SWINE OPERATION Narrative -of Operation: There is ample amount of acres for waste application, but with a 120 day pumping cycle there will be no shortage of acres with the crops lisped in Table 1..

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 strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crops to be grown. Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. Normally, waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils or on land when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Actual acreage requirements may be more or less and should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. 5,2,95 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN FOR SWINE OPERATION Amount of Nitro n Nproduced pgr year 2000 feeder to finish X 2.3 lbs N/animal unit/year - 4600 2000 weanling to feeder X .48 lbs N/animal unit/year = 960 TOTAL N/YEAR = 5560 Applying the above amount of waste is a big job.

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. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample Enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at more than 5 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 Strips) 5. Odors can be reduced be injecting the waste or dishing after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 6fz196 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN FOR SWINE OPERATION 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such 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 if the soil surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not covered with waste to depth that would prohibit 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 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 a 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 surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips.) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right- of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a discharge or by overspraying. 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 applied on grassed waterways shall be at agronomic rates provided the application 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. YrON WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN FOR SWINE OPERATION 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 1 B. 1f 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 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. Soil tests shall be made every two years and a liquid waste analysis be taken at least twice each year consistent with waste utilization plan. Poultry litter shall be tested prior to application. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC regulations. Your facility is designed for 365 days of temporary storage and should have the temporary storage removed on the average every 12 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 35.2. NOTE: 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. 6256 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN FOR SWINE OPERATION Narrative of Operation: There is ample amount of acres for waste application, but with a 365 day pumping cycle there will be no shortage of acres with the crops listed in Table 1. Other crops can be used for application if waste is applied at agronomic rates. This lagoon was design and approve according to MRCS standards in 1990 by John Myers, DC.

You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible location for all employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should take. 1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below. A. Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are: a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam. b. Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate. c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately. d. Call a pumpin(y contractor. e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon. B: Runoff from waste application field -actions include: a. Immediately stop waste application. b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste. C. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff. d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that caused the runoff. e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred. C: Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers -action include: a. Stop recycle pump. b. Stop irrigation pump. c. Close valves to eliminate further discharge. d. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps. D: Leakage from flush systems, houses, solid separators -action include: a. Stop recycle pump. b. Stop irrigation pump. c. Flake sure no siphon occurs. d. Stop all floes in the house, flush systems, or solid separators. December 18, 199b e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps. E: Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to flowing leaks- possible action: a. Dig a small sump or ditch away from the embankment to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back to lagoon. b. If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil. c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and lagoon bottom as soon as possible. - 2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages. a. Did the waste reach any surface waters? b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration? c. Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage? d. Did the spill leave the property? e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters? f. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters? g. Are potable water wells in danger (either on or off of the property)? h. How much reached surface waters? 3: Contact appropriate agencies. a. Durins normal business hours, call your DWQ (Division of Water Quality) regional office; Phone - m . After hours, emergency number: 919-733-3942. Your phone call should include: your name, facility, telephone number, the details of the incident from item 2 above, the exact location of the facility, the location or direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind conditions.

Routine maintenar_cs is considered to be normal good care of the system. Good maintenance adds to beauty, usefulness, and permanence. A. Waste Treatment Lagoon (ist & 2nd stages) The lagoon should be filled at least half full with water before manure loading begins to nurture bacteria establishment. The routine maintenance of the lagoon involves the following: 1. Maintenance of a vegetative cover on the embankment and side slopes:�being established on these areas. Beginning in 1910 and each year thereafter, the embankment should be fertilized with'900 pounds -of 10-10-10 per acre to maintain a vigorous sand. 2. Control of brush and trees on the embankment. 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. Maintenance inspections of the lagoon should be made during the initial filling of the lagoon and at least annually. Items to be checked should include, as a minimum, the following: 1. Waste Inlet Pipes, Overflow Pipes a. condition of pipes (1) separation of joints (2) cracks or breaks 2. Pool Area a. undesirable vegetative growth b. floating or lodged debris 3. Embankment a. settlement, cracking or "jug" holes b. side slope stability - slumps or bulges C. erosion and rodent damage 4. Tr =-- f sr Pump 1 WORKSHEET EDENTON, N.
