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.

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. Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and should have the temporary storage removed on the average every 6 months. in no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 21.7. Call the Natural Resources Conservation Service or Soil and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report to obtain assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the application rate prior to applying the waste. 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. Narrative of Operation: The lagoon was originally design for 500 head feeder to finish operation. When the lagoon was built it was .61 higher and .3' deeper than planned. With the lagoon larger than originally designed the increased capacity will give him 180 day storage. Revision: Mr. Stallings has decided to graze his cattle rather than bale hay as plan calls for. Approximately one more acre of pasture will be required for grazing. A honey wagon will be used to apply the waste on the additional acre. Bill Blackwell, Tech. Spec. WUP - 6 WASTE DISPOSAL SPECIFICATIONS 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during -operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate.land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide 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 may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.] 5. Odors can be reduced be injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the Technical Reference -- Environment file for guidance.) WTTD - I 5/2/95 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 no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered by solids. 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 the crop on bare soil. 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water_ This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips.) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a discharge or by 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 should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and only then at agronomic rates provided the application causes no runoff or drift from the site. 15. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system_ 17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. PAIIJ 18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible.

If a discharge of 1,000,000 gallons of wastewater or more reaches surface waters or wetlands, the appropriate Division Regional Office must be contacted to determine in what additional counties, if any, a public notice must be published. A copy of all public notices and proof of publication must be sent to the Division within thirty (30) days of the discharge. 19. All facilities, which are issued a COC to operate under this General Permit, shall conduct a survey of the sludge accumulation in all lagoons within two (2) years of receiving the COC and every year thereafter. This survey shall include but nor be limited to a sketch showing the depth of sludge in the various locations within each lagoon. This survey frequency may be reduced if it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Division that the rate of sludge accumulation does not warrant an annual survey. If the sludge accumulation is such that it is greater than the volume for which the lagoon was designed or the accumulation reduces the lagoon's minimum treatment volume to less than the volume for that which the lagoon was designed, a sludge removal or management plan must be submitted to the appropriate Division Regional Office within ninety (90) days of the determination. The plan shall describe removal and waste utilization procedures to be used. IV. INSPECTIONS AND ENTRY 1. The Permittee shall allow any authorized representative of Department, upon the presentation of credentials and other documents as may be required by law and in accordance with reasonable and appropriate biosecurity measures, to: a.

At a minimum, maximum waste level for lagoons/storage ponds must not exceed the level that provides adequate storage to contain the 25-year, 24-hour storm event plus an additional one (1) foot of structural freeboard except that there shall be no violation of this condition if- (a) there is a storm event more severe than • a 25-year, 24-hoar event, (b) the Permittee is in compliance with its CAWMP, and (c) there is at least one (1) foot of structural freeboard. In addition to the above requirements, for new and expanding farces with lagoon and storage pond designs completed after September 1, 1996, storage must also be provided for the heavy rainfall factor for the lagoons/storage pond. In case of lagoons/storage ponds in series that are gravity fed, the 25-year, 74-hour storm event and/or the heavy rainfall factor storage requirement for the system may be designed into the lowest lagoon/storage pond in the system. However, adequate freeboard trust be designed into the upper lagoons/storage ponds to allow sufficient storage to prevent the waste level from rising into the structural freeboard while the storm water is draining into the lowest lagoon in the system. 3. Any containment basin, such as a lagoon or a storage pond, used for waste management shall continue to be subject to the conditions and requirements of this General Permit until properly closed. When the containment basin is properly closed in accordance with the "Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) North Carolina Standard for Closure of Waste Impoundments," March 2002 or any subsequent amendment, the containment basin shall not be subject to the requirements of this General Permit. The Permittee must submit a letter to the Division to request rescission of the COC by providing documentation of .closuue of all containment basins.

The Permittee shall notify the Division immediately of any applicable information not provided in the permit application. 10. If the Permittee wishes to continue an activity regulated by this General Permit after the expiration date of this General Permit, the Permittee must apply for and obtain a new COC. Renewal applications must be filed at least 180 days prior to the expiration of the General Permit. 11. The issuance of a COC to operate under this General Permit does not prohibit the Division from reopening and modifying the General Permit or COC, revoking and reissuing the General Permit or COC, or terminating the General Permit or COC as allowed by the appropriate laws, rules, and regulations. 12. The Director may require any person, otherwise eligible for coverage under this General Permit, to apply for an individual permit by notifying that person that an application is required. 13. The Groundwater Compliance Boundary is established by 15A NCAC 2L and 15A NCAC 2H .0225. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance Boundary is subject to the requirements of 15A NCAC 2L and the Division in addition to the penalty provisions applicable under the North Carolina General Statutes. VI. PENALTIES 1. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this General Permit; the facility's COC; the facility's CAWMP; and/or applicable state law; may subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division including but not limited to the modification of the animal waste management system, civil penalties, criminal penalties and injunctive relief. 2. The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this General Permit. Any permit noncompliance constitutes a violation of state law and is grounds for enforcement action; for permit coverage termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit coverage renewal application. 3. It shall not be a defense for a Permittm in an enforcement action to claim that it would have been necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain -compliance with the conditions of this General Permit. VH. DEFINMONS 25-year, 244hour rainfall or storm event miam the maximum 24-hour precipitation event with a probable recurrence interval of once in 25 years, as defined by the National Weather Service in Technical Paper Number 40, "Rainfall Frequency Atlas of the United States," May 1961, and subsequent amendments, or equivalent regional or state rainfall probability information developed therefrom. Agronomic rates means the amount of animal waste and/or other nutrient sources to be land applied to lands as contained in the nutrient management standard of the USDA Soil Conservation Service Technical Guide Section IV or as recommended by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service at the time of certification of the Animal Waste Management Plan by the appropriate technical specialist. 12 June 4, 2004 Permit Number AWG100000 Amendment to the CAWMP means a change and/or addition to a part(s) of the plan, and requires that the change and/or addition adhere to current applicable standards. The following axe examples of amendments to the CAWMP: • In an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes 25% or less of the N generated is considered a plan amendment. Additional acreage needed to facilitate the change in crops and/or cropping pattern is permissible and considered part of the amendment. • The addition of winter crops and/or interseeded perennial crops are considered amendments to an existing CAWMP when the operation does not require additional acreage and/or crops for N utilization, and does not exceed the 25% criteria stated above. When a CAWMP cannot meet N utilization requirements due to land lost to irrigation inefficiency (useable versus total acres), then the CAWMP may be amended to increase available acreage and/or change the crop for N utilization. This is the only exception to the 25% N criteria for plan revision. • Inclusions of emergency action plans, and insect, odor and mortality checklists are considered CAWMP amendments. • Including additional acreage for land application beyond what is required in the existing CAWMP is considered a plan amendment. Animal feeding operation means a lot or facility (other than an aquatic animal production facility) where the following conditions are met: (i) animals (other than aquatic animals) have been, are, or will be stabled or confined and fed or maintained for a total of forty five (45) days or more in any twelve (12) month period, and (ii) craps, vegetation, forage growth, or po,st harvest residues are not sustained in the normal growing season over any portion of the lot or facility. Two or more animal feeding operations under common ownership are considered to be a single animal feeding operation if they adjoin each other, or if they use a common area or system for the disposal of wastes. Ditch means any man made channel for the purpose of moving water off a site to the surface waters. Excessive Ponding means any area of the application field where visible liquid waste is ponded on the surface of the land application site more than four (4) hours following the application of waste. Excessive ponding also means any areas where the ponding of waste has resulted in crop failure_ Grouundwaten means any subsurface waters, as defined in I5A NCAC 2L .0102. Land application means the application of wastewater and/or waste solids onto or incorporation into the soil. Major changes to the CAWMP means changes in the number of animals, type of operation (feeder to finish to wean to feeder), retrofit of a lagoon, installation of a new irrigation system, and similar type changes. Recertification is only required for major changes to the CAWMP Major changes to a facility mint first be approved by DWQ. The new CAWMP and the certification shall be submitted with a request that the COC be amended to reflect the changes. The facility may not make the changes until a new or amended COC has been issued. 13 June 4, 2004 Permit Number AW G100000 Revision to the CAWMP means a change to an entire CAWMP to meet current applicable standards. A CAWMP must be revised if the operation cannot utilize all N nitrogen generated by the animal production in accordance with the existing CAWNlP, except for the specific conditions noted in the CAWMP amendment criteria as previously defined. For an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or trapping pattern that utilizes more than 25% of the N generated by the operation is considered a playa revision. Any change to an existing CAWMP, whether an amendment or revision, must be signed and dated by both the producer and a technical specialist for the new CAWMP to be valid. A revision of the CAVW does not require recertification. State Waters means all surface waters, wetlands, groundwaters and waters of the United States located in the State. Surface Waters means any stream, river, brook, swamp, lake, sound, tidal estuary, bay, creek, reservoir, waterway, or other surface body or surface accumulation of water, whether public or private, or natural or artificial, that is contained in, flows through, or borders upon any portion of the State of North Carolina, including any portion of the Atlantic Ocean over which the State has jurisdiction as well as any additional Waters of the United States which are located in the State. Waste means manure, animal waste., process wastewater and/or sludge generated at an animal feeding operation. Wetlandsmeans areas that are inundated or saturated by an accumulation of surface or groundwater at a frequency and duration sufficient to support, and under normal circumstances do support a prevalence of vegetation typically adapted for life in saturated soil conditions, as defined in 15A NCAC 2B .0202.

Therefore, the General Permit has been re -issued by the Division to extend the expiration date to October 1, 2004. During the period of this extension the Division will be working with all interested parties on the development of a new version of the Non -Discharge General Permit. In accordance with your application received on January 27, 2003 and in accordance with the directive of Senate Bill 733, we are hereby forwarding to you this Certificate of Coverage (COC) issued to Larry/Barbara Stallings, 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 AWS720014 which expired on April 30, 2003. This approval shall consist of the operation of this system including, but not limited to, the management of animal waste from the Larry & Barbara Stallings Farm, located in Perquimans County, with an animal capacity of no greater than an annual average of 560 Feeder to Finish swine and the application to land as specified in the facility's Certified Animal Waste Management PIan (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 October 1, 2004. Pursuant to this COC, you are authorized and required to operate the system in conformity with the conditions and limitations as specified in the General Permit, the facility's CAWMP, and this COC. An adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required monitoring data and operational 'information must be established for this facility. Any increase in waste production greater than the certified design capacity or increase in number of animals authorized by this COC (as provided above) will require a modification to the CAWMP and this COC and must be completed prior to actual increase in either wastewater flow or number of animals. If your Waste Utilization Plan has been developed based on site specific information, careful evaluation of future samples is necessary. Should your records show that the current Waste Utilization Plan is inaccurate you will need to have a new Waste Utilization Plan developed.

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. Narrative of operation: The lagoon was originally design for 500 head feeder to finish operation. When the lagoon was built it was .8' higher and .3' deeper than n1anned. With the lagoon larger than originally designed the increased capacity will give him 180 day storage. Revision: Mr. Stallings tias decided to graze his cattle rather than bale hay as plan calls for. Approximately one more acre of pasture will be requ .red for grazing. A honey wagon will be used to apply the waste on the additional acre. r- ff . �% ` -/ Sill 3lacir�ell, Tech. Spec. WUP - 6 WASTE DISPOSAL 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 wh•�ch reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,010 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for e•aery day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample Enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, cr available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application, for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.] 5. Odors can be reduced be injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. 5. 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 ;paste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in ,Vcrth Carolina" in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.) %N. 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 no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered by solids. 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 the crop on bare soil. 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips.) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 1G4 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 should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and only then 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. 17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. sa.. 18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are ;invited to areas vvnere considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 19. If anirnar production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected orl a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. Your facility is designed for 180 days' of temporary storage and should have the temporary storage removed on the average every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 21.7. call the Natural Resources Conservation Service or soil and Water conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report to obtain assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the application rate prior to applying the waste. NOTE: The haste 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. Narrative of Operation: The lagoon was originally design for 500 head feeder to finish operation. When the lagoon was built it was .8' higher and .3' deeper than planned. With the lagoon larger than originally designed the increased capacity will give him 180 day storage. I%- r . 4 NASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGRE&MENT 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 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 mast 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.

LARRY STALLINGS BELVIDERE RT 1 BOX 382-B BELVIDERE NC 27919 297-2153 SWINE: FEEDER TO FINISH 560 HEAD The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or ground water. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops on the fields where the waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. waste should be analyzed before each application cycle and annual soil tests are 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.

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample Enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers . ] 5. Odors can be reduced be injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.) WUP - 3 5/2/95 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 conditicrns 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 no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered by solids. 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 the crop on bare soil. 11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips.) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a discharge or by 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 should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and only then 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. 17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25--year, 24 -hour storm event in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard. W 18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). if needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 19. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. 20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be kept on site. Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and should have the temporary storage removed on the average every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 21.7. Call the Natural Resources Conservation Service or Soil and Water conservation -District office after you receive the waste analysis report to obtain assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the application rate prior to applying the waste. 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. Narrative of Operation: The lagoon was originally design for 500 head feeder to finish operation. When the lagoon was built it was .8' higher and .3' deeper than planned. With the lagoon larger than originally designed the increased capacity will give him 180 day storage. Revision: Mr. Stallings has decided to graze his cattle rather than bale hay as plan calls for. Approximately one mare acre of pasture will be required for grazing. A honey wagon will be used to apply the waste on the additional acre. Bill Blackwell, Tech. Spec. 1FA§ N WUP - 6 NASTE UTILIZATION PLAN AGREEKENT 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 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. Failure to comply with the waste utilization plan will automatically require any cost share funds to be refunded to their source. Name of FaC ity, Owner ( 1 ase print) : J.

You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible location for all employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should take. 1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below. A. Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are: a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam. b. Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate. c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately. d. Call a pumping contractor. e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon. B: Runoff from waste application field -actions include: a. Immediately stop waste application. b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste. c. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff. 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. Make sure no siphon occurs. d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid separators. December 18, 1996 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.

L.OI.YYy .5�°� /)r A__ _ The purpose of this plan is to provide guidelines for carrying out the routine operation and maintenance work needed to keep this swine waste management system functioning as planned. Routine maintenance is considered to be normal good care of the system. Good maintenance adds to beauty, usefulness, and permanence. ti- s-1:49TIMLI The routine maintenance of the lagoon involves the following: 1. Maintenance of a egetative cover on the embankment top and side slopes: cve is being established on these areas. Beginning in 19-V and each year thereafter, the embankment should be fertilized with 000 pounds of 10-10-10 per acre to maintain a vigorous stand. 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 it 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. Taste 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. Rmbankment a. settlement, cracking or "jug" holes b. side slope stability - slumps or bulges c. erosion and rodent damage 4. Transfer Pump 1 4- Your animal waste management faci}lity wa des geed for a total of 60 ors•/animals ( Feed•r to n,5 } . The lagoon contains both permanent and temporary storage. The permanent storage is not to be pumped in order to ensure that anaerobic action will occur. The design includes permanent storage of one cubic foot per pound of steady state live weight. The temporary storage portion of the lagoon includes capacity for the volume of waste produced over 180 days, the amount of rainfall in a 25 year 24 hour storm event, and rainfall in excess of evaporation. Your facility is designed for/gO days of temporary storage; therefore, it will need to be pumped every 6 months. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches elevation ?,J.7 as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches elevation 1950 The attached waste management plan should be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see Attachment B) before land application. The waste material should be analyzed before each application cycle to determine its nutrient content. A soil test of the area of application should be made annually to insure the waste is applied as reasonably and practically possible to recommended rates. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon'be pre - charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent at all times. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environmental -Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law. 2 Animal Waste Management Plan Certification (Please type or print all information that does not require a signature) E-sting or Mew or.`'- Expanded (lease circle one) General %formation: Name of Farm: Facility No: - Owtfer(s) Name: L(Lr ry 5 "�-��/+'1 ��5 -- Phone No: 17�- Z4S Mailing Address: R'F t [3!� eZ-f3 e—Ivile (e, Gr 2 7`%/ 9 Farm Location: Fourteen Digit Hydrologic Unit: 03 o I QZ=Q_ `j0D/D _ Latitude and Longitude: 3 6p Z I IS" 1 7b � 30.
