The Bermudagrass will be harvested by a combination of haying and grazing. The additional 30 acres will be used to graze cattle on millet in the summer months and rye in the winter months. Using 1.9 lbs N11,000 gallons of waste , which is the average of the four most recent waste analyses (3.2, 1.3, 1.3, 1.8), the operation generates approx. 7334 lbs N that needs to be utilized. Using NRCS Realistic Yield Expectations and recommended N rates (see pg. ) Tarheel Farms can utilize as much as 13,563 lbs N with this cropping system. the difference between the amount of nitrogen needed and the amount of nitrogen generated is 6,229 LBS N; therefore, this farm will have a large degree'of flexibility in the placement and timing of its land application of waste. . Applications of waste can be made to the Bermudagrass as early as 30 days prior to green up until growth and nitrogen uptake slows. For our area this will provide a window from about March 15th (or 1 week after the last 32 degree temp.) until August 15th. Annual soil tests should be made to ensure that the proper lime and K (potash) levels are maintained to achieve maximum growth and N J uptake. When harvesting Bermudagrass as hay, make the first cutting when the plants are 12-15 inches tall and every 4-6-weeks afterwards. Apply N when spring growth begins and then after each cutting. When grazing Bermudagrass the best performance and utilization occurs when animals graze on plants no taller than 4-5" and no lower than 1.5-211. Split N applications into April, June, and July. See attached Bermudagrass management info Application of waste to millet can be made about May until August which is from planting until the end of peak growth. About 50 lbs N can be applied at planting and another 50 when plants are 6-8" tall and again after the first grazing period. Total N application should not exceed 160 lbs total/acre. Applications of waste to rye can be made from planting until late winter. This will provide a window from about September until February 15th. Apply 60 lbs N at planting and then topdress with another 60 lbs N in November when plants are 2-3" tall, and topdress again with 50 lbs. on or near Feb. 15th. NOTE: If the full rate of N or waste was applied to the millet that proceeds the rye planting, skip the initial N application, and possibly the second if rye is growing well. This allows for N carry over and provides extra "safety factor" for ground water.

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct applicatiorvor direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is : .- prohibited . . 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has a notarized'agreen' nt for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer'does not own adequate, land to properly dispose of waste, hdshe.shall provide a copy of a notarized agreement with• a lazidoNvnor who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the bpeiation, 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 or, - available moisture, historical data,' climate conditions, and level of management, unless' there ale regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. Actual yields may be used in lieu of realistic yield :tables at the dis#ed6n of the'planner. 4. Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding Iess than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to_jand that is eroding at more than 5 tons but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips'aie installed where runoff leaves the field.

See attached letter dated 3/17/99 from NCDENR. The follovTft9 ammnndments and additions were made: 1. A signature page for the WUP was added and signed by all parties 2. Calculations and formulas from the NC Cooperative Extension Service Nutrient Management Planning notebook were added to show how the amount of waste generated annually was computed (Farrow - to -Feeder).. Also calculations and explanation of annual PAN amount was included on the "Narrative" page and on the "Nitrogen Generated" page. Also three waste analysis reports were included from which PAN numbers were obtained. 3. A new chart showing each individual pull with; useable acres, soil type, crop, RYE, N/unit yield, N Used, and Application Time was added (NRCS style). 4. The RYE for the pure stand of Rye for grazing was changed from 4 tons/acre to a more conservative figure of 2 tons/acre. 5. An Operation and Maintenance Plan was added. 6. Measurements and calculations used to estimate lagoon capacity were added. The lagoon at this facility is an older lagoon built by the previous owners for which there is no NRCS design available. The Richmond County NRCS/SWCD office has no record or information available on this lagoon;,therefore, the lagoon was measured and the volume was calculated using methods provided by James Barker of the NC Cooperative Extension Service.

Depending on the situation, this may or may not -be possible. suggested responses to problems are listed below: a) Lagoon overflow: add soil to the berm to increase the elevation of the dam pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate stop.all additional flow to the lagoon (waterers) call a pumping.contractor make sure no surface water is entering the lagoon Note: These activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the temporary storage level. b) Runoff from waste application field: immediately stop waste application create,a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field incorporate waste to reduce further runoff c) Leakirc;.from the waste distribution system: pipes arid sprinklers: stop recycle (flushing system) pump stop irrigation pump close valves to eliminate further discharge separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow flush system, houses, solids separators: stop recycle (flushing system) pump stop irrigation pump make sure no siphon effect has been created separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow d) Leakage from base or sidewall of the lagoon. Often these are seepage as opposed to flowing leaks: dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back into the lagoon if holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil. other hales may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil Note: For peivanent repair measures, lagoon problems require the consultation of an individual experienced in their design and installation. 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? 3) contact appropriate agencies. a) During normal business hours, call your DEM regional office: ; after hours, emergency number: (919) 733-3942. Your phone call should include: your name, facility, telephone number, the details of the incident, the exact location of the facility, and the location or direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind conditions, what corrective measures have been taken, and the rseriousness of the situation. b) if the spill leaves the property or enters surface waters, call tt.e local FMS : G 11 c) instruct EMS to contact the local d) Contact CES: q/o-yq'� `iSJ�SS� local SWCD office: local NRCS office: C1/C and your integrator: 4) Tmplem6nt procedures as advised by assistance agencies to rectify the damage, reassess the w:.ate management plan to keep of wastes from jiappening again.. Health Department: DEM and technical repair the system, and problems with release EFFECTIVE FOR ALL PLANS WRITTEN/REVISED AFTER AUGUST 196 EXHIBIT A-6 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has a notarized agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate Iand to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of a notarized agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing his/her the use of the land for waste application. it is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. Actual yields may be used in lieu of realistic yield tables at the discretion of the planner. 4, Animal waste shall be applied 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 by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste should 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. I0. Waste nutrieiL=s shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Was.:e 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 plantirig of a crop or forages breaking dormancy.. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply Mth 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. NRCS, NC DUNE. 1996 EXHIBIT A - WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 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 from wells: 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animals waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a discharge or by over- spra)ing. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided it has been approved as a land applications site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste applied on grassed waterways shall be at agronomic rates and in a rhanner that causes no runoff or drib from the site. Ib. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is terminated, the o%%mer 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 'to p 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- ivill 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. MRCS, NC JUNJ E, 1996 Producer N , 6 .,,4.

Facility Siting Date: % Facility Status: New Expanding � � ✓ Existing, New Waste Utilization Plan The purpose of a manure nutrient utilization plan is to estimate the acres of cropland needed to use the manure nutrients you produce without exceeding your design storage capacity. The plan is based on average manure generation values and average nutrient content for your type of facility. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops you will grow, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake. This manure nutrient utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting (priority) nutrient. The plan is based .on typical manure production rates and average nutrient contents for this type of facility. Your actual production and nutrient values may vary, by 20% or more. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can use. Implementation of the plan based on actual analysis may require additional acres or reduction in stocking rates to ensure that nutrients are not applied in excess of agronomic rates. This plan consists of • Description of your production facility and waste handling method • Estimate of manure produced on your farm • Fields and Crops which will receive manure nutrients => CFS Maps by tract and field =* Soils Maps => Perennial Streams and Buffers • Estimate of acres required to use manure nutrients at agronomic rated • Irrigation Plan • Standards and specifications which must be followed The following records must be maintained for five years: • Manure nutrients (should be analyzed within 60 days of each application). • Soil test reports, sampled at least every two years • Manure application records If implemented according to these specifications, this manure nutrients management plan meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

For anaerobic lagoon handling systems only: From the lowest point in your lagoon wall or dam, you must maintain the liquid level a minimum of 12 inches plus the number of inches in a 24 hour, 25 year storm rainfall. For this location this level is amount is —_Lt inches below the lowest point. Estimated Acres The following acreage will be needed to -use your manure at agronomic rates without exceeding manure design storage capacity: (Details in Table 1) Application Method Estimated Acres Broadcast -unincorporated Broadcast - incorporated Injected Irrigated, (unincorporated) Total Acres Maximum Rate of Application (Inchlhr of Irrigation) Infiltration rats; varies with soils. If applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system, you must apply at a rate that will not result in runoff. For your most limiting site, this is —r inches per hour. (See Tables 1 for recommended rates on a field by field basis.) Furthermore, you should not apply more than in any one application event. Sludge Accumulation in Anaerobic Lagoons Over a 15 year period you will generate 1,92.�, 000 of sludge. You will need to make plans to land apply this material. The current manure nutrients utilization plan includes an estimate of land required for these applications based on the Tables in NRCS Standard 633, and the N requirement of %,A AL- rown on a ' soil. At the time of application, you must have the sludge analyzed and make applications at agronomic rates based on the results. Since the nutrient concentrations of sludge can be much higher than those of lagoon liquids, you will either need to plan for extra land to receive these nutrients or make arrangements with a nearby landowner to apply your sludge material. �- C,o c `''�,`naC.'� r� � �j fC.• ��`j`(�,.1 1f� (� '�'� ��� , �l ` \.0 v��f � i \� t.0 � �-."'\ NC Form No. 60 UNITED STATES DMA1 TMENT OF AGRI C1ILTUM- 4-12.56 Soil Conservation Service i PLAN of EXCAVATED FARM POND SCD Farm Name ' �.� W 11 No' ACP Date h 9 LENGTH \ ` SI DE SLOPE 2 TO 1 �Z i i ° 4 �}.,. o «.

Description YS5a 3C1J0.1 wORiN. ill. 1144 Distribution: 1 copy to fanner 1 copy to Farm Plan Folder OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN This lagoon is designed for waste treatment with minimum odor control. The time required for the planned fluid level to be reached may vary due to soil conditions, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent runoff from the field or damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out: 1. 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. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste before land application. 3. Begin pump -out of the lagoon, at the latest, when fluid level reaches the proper elevation as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches the proper elevation as marked by permanent marker or before fluid depth is less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable bacteria). For proper lagoon managment pump -out can and should occur anytime the fluid level is between the stop pump and begin pump markers and conditions are right for the crop to recieve nutrients. 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is .50 inch and the recommended maximum application rate is .75 inch per hour. 5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. 6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and establish in vegetation. 7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets. 8. 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.

The Bermudagrass will be harvested by a combination of haying and grazing. The additional 29.8 acres will be used to graze cattle on millet in the Summer months and Rye in the Winter months. Using 1.9lbs N/1,000 gallons of waste, which is the average of the three attached waste analyses (2.5, 1.3, 1.8), the operation generates approx. 7,334 lbs N that needs to be utilized. Using NRCS Realistic Yield Expectations and recommended N rates Tarheel Farms can utilize as much as 10,761 lbs N with this cropping system. The difference between the amount of Nitrogen needed and the amount of Nitrogen generated is 3,427 lbs N; therefore, this farm will have a large degree of flexibility in the placement and timing of its land application of waste. Applications of waste can be made to the Bermudagrass as early as 30 days prior to green up until growth and Nitrogen uptake slows. For our area this will provide a window from about March 15th (or 1 week after the last 32 degree temp.) until August 15th. Annual soil tests should be made to ensure that the proper time and K (potash) levels are maintained to achieve maximum growth and N uptake. When harvesting Bermudagrass and hay, make the first cutting when the plants are 12-15 inches tall and every 4-6 weeks afterwards. Apply N when Spring growth begins and then after each cutting. When grazing Bermudagrass the best performance and utilization occurs when animals graze on plants no taller than 4-5" and no lower than 1.5-2". Split N applications into April, June and July. See attached Bermudagrass management info Application of waste to millet can be made about May until August which is from planting until the end of peak growth. About 50 lbs N can be applied at planting and another 50 when plants are 6-8" tall and again after the first grazing period. Total N application should not exceed 160 lbs total/acre. Applications of waste to Rye can be made from planting until late Winter. This will provide a window from about September until February 15th. Apply 60 lbs N at planting and then topdress with another 60 lbs N in November when plants are 2-3" tall, and topdress again with 50 lbs on or near Feb. 15th. NOTE: If the full rate of N or waste was applied to the millet that proceeds the Rye planting, skip the initial N application, and possibly the second if Rye is growing well. This allows for N carry over and provides "safety factor" for ground water. The acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility.

The following ammendments and additions'were made: �I 1. A signature page for the WUP was added and signed by all 2. Calculations and formulas from the NC Cooperative Extension Service Nutrient Management Planning notebook were added to show how the amount of wa3tc generated annually was computed (Farm_}w- to-Peeder) Also calculations and explanation of annual PAN amount was included on the "Narrative" pagr, and on the "Nitrogen nenerated" page. Also three waste analysis reports were included from which PAN numbers were obtained. i! 3. A new chart showing each individual pull with; useable acres, soil tyre, crop, RYE, N/unit yield, N Uoed, and Application Timrw was added (NRCS style). 4. The RYE for the pure stand of Rye for grazing was changed from 4 tons/acre to a more conservative figure of 2 tong/acre. 5. An Operation and Mainte'riance Plan was added. 9. Measurements and calculationa used to estimate lagoon capacity were added. The lagoon at this facility is an older lagoon built by the previous owners for which there is no NRCS design available. The Richmond County NRCS/SWCD office has no record or information available on this lagoon; therefore, the lagoon was measured and the volume was calculated using methods provided by James Barker of the NC Cooperative Extension Service. 5 Amended By: Bert Coffer'- Area Livestock Agent ," Richmond Scotland Hoke Co.

The Bcrmudagrass will he harvested by a combination of haying and grazing. The additional 29.8 acres will be used to braze cattle on millet in the Summer months and Rye in the Winter months. Using 1.91bs N/1,000 gallons of waste, which is the average of the three attached wtj5te analyses (2,5, 1,3, 1,8), the operation generates approx. 7,334 lbs N that needs to be utilized. Using NRCS Realistic: Yield Expectation's and recommended N rates (see pg. ) Tarlieel Farms can utilize as much as 10,863 lbs N with this cropping system. The difference between the amount of Nitrogen needed And the amount of Nitrogen generated is 7,334 lbs N; therefore, this farm will have a large degree of flexibility in the placement and timing of its land application -of waste. Applications of waste can be made to the Bcrmudagrass as early as 30 days prior to green up until growth and Nitrogen uptake slows. For our area this will provide a window from about March 15th (or ] week after the last 32 degree temp.) until August 15th. Annual soil tests Should he made to ensure that the pro'ler lime and K (potaslh) levels are maintained to achieve maximum growth and N uptake. When harvesting Bcrmudagrass and liny, make the first cutting when the plants are 12-15 inches tall and every 4-6 weeks afterwards. Apply N when Spring growth begins and then after each cutting.` When brazing Bcrmudagrass the hest jicrforrnance and utilization occurs when animals graze on plants no taller than 4-5" and no lower than 1.5-2", Split N applications into April, June and July. See attached Bcrmudagrass management info .E, Application of waste to millet can be ,made about May until August which is from planting until the end of peak growth. About 50 lbs N can be applied at planting and another 50 when plants are 6-8" tall and again after thc�)first grazing period. Total N application should not exceed 160 lbs total/acre. i Applications of waste to Rye can be made from planting until late Winlcr. This will provide a window from about September until February 15th. Apply 60 Ills N at planting and then topdress with another 60 lbs N in November when plants are 2-3" tall, and topdress again with 50 lbs on or near Feb. 15th. NOTE: If the full rate of N or waste was applied to the millet than proceeds the Rye planting,,skip the initial N application, and possibly the second if Rye is growing; well. This allows for N carry over and provides "safety factor" for ground water. i r ,} J 14 C �rjJ j(Q e �• ' ,• ' CDco 'W F po 1 4 1999Ln Co.

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 available to all employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and breaks can happen at any time. 1) Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not --be possible. Suggested responses to problems are listed below: a) Lagoon overflow: add soil to the berm to increase the elevation of the dam pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waterers) call a pumping.contractor make sure no surface water is entering the lagoon Note: These &ctivities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the temporary storage level. b) Runoff from waste application field: immediately stop waste application create •a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field incorporate waste to reduce further runoff c) Leakin,7.from the waste distribution system: pipes and sprinklers: stop recycle (flushing system) pump stop irrigation pump close valves to eliminate further discharge separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow flush system, houses, solids separators: 1 stop recycle (flushing system) pump t J stop irrigation pump make sure no siphon effect has been created separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow d) Leakage from base or sidewall of the lagoon. Often these are seepage as opposed to flowing leaks: dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back into the lagoon if holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil. other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil Note: For peinanent repair measures, lagoon problems require the consultation of an individual experienced in their design and installation. 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? 3) Contact appropriate agencies. a) During normal business hours, call your DEM regional. office: ; after hours, emergency number: (919) 733-3942. Your phone call should include: your name, facility, telephone number, the details of the incident, the exact location of the ~� facility, and the location or direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind conditions, what corrective measures have been taken, and the !seriousness of the situation. b) . if the spill leaves the property or enters surface waters, call. t}.,: local. £h±s: GrF c) Instruct EMS to contact the local d) Contact CES: 910-qq-7 local SWCD office: q/O _qq-7- -��,Lj4 local NRCS office: q1C-957 - %+'ILJ and your integrator: 4) Implement procedures as advised by assistance agencies to rectify the damage, reassess the waste management plan to keep of wastes from,jiappening again.

It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an updaie 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. Actual yields may be used in lieu of realistic yield tables at the discretion of the planner. 4. Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste maybe 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 by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it mill be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor and flits. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste should 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 a high potential for leaching. Waste nuuient loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable minter 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 mine facility sited on or after October I, 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 shalt be at ]east 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or rimer other than an irrigation ditch or canal. MRCS, NC NNE, 1996 iw ti EXHIBIT A - WASTE UTILIZATION PLAON REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 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 from wells. 13. Animal A-dste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by landowner. 14. Wane shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animals waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a discharge or by over - spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided it has been approved as a land applications site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste applied on grassed waterways shall be at agronomic rates and in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and ' other woody species, etc. are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for etiideace of erosion, leakage, or discharge. IS. If animal production at the facility is terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion. J I9. 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 Rather 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 Iagoons. 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 Kaste utilization plan. Poultry litter shall be tested prior to application. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years. • '4 i 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC regulations. MRCS, NC JTP,TE. 1996 Producer Location ► �•. �• L.,,.

L) ": r, Facility Siting Date: Facility Status: New Expanding ' - ZExisting, New Waste Utilization Plan The purpose of a manure nutrient utilization plan is to estimate the acres of cropland needed to use the manure nutrients you produce without exceeding your design storage capacity. The plan is based on average manure generation values and average nutrient content for your type of facility. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops you will grow, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake. This manure nutrient utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting (priority) nutrient. The plan is based on typical manure production rates and average nutrient contents for this type of facility. Your actual production and nutrient values may vary. by 20% or more. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can use. Implementation of the plan based on actual analysis may require additional acres or reduction in stocking rates to ensure that nutrients are not applied in excess of agronomic rates. This plan consists of • Description of your production facility and waste handling method • Estimate of manure produced on your farm • Fields and Crops which will receive manure nutrients =::� CFS Maps by tract and field => Soils Maps => Perennial Streams and Buffers • Estimate of acres required to use manure nutrients at agronomic rated • Irrigation Plan • Standards and specifications which must be followed The following records must be maintained for five years: • Manure nutrients (should be analyzed within 60 days of each application). • Soil test reports, sampled at least every two years • Manure application records If implemented according to these specifications, this manure nutrients management plan meets the requirements for compliance with ISA NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. Animal Production Facility and Waste Handling System Animal Production Facility: Number of Animals (Production Units): Amount of Manure per Animal (Production Unit): Total Manure Generated: (Units) ti Waste Handling System Annual Sludge Accumulation: L LL Your facility is designed for J, ` days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every Lj MONTHS. For anaerobic lagoon handling systems only: From the lowest point in your lagoon wall or dam, you must maintain the liquid level a minimum of 12 inches plus the number of inches in a 24 hour, 25 year storm rainfall. For this location this level is amount is --Ij_ inches below the lowest point. Estimated Acres The following acreage will be needed to -use your manure at agronomic rates without exceeding manure design storage capacity: (Details in Table 1) Application Method Estimated Acres Broadcast -unincorporated Broadcast - incorporated Injected Irrigated, (unincorporated) Y5 5 Total Acres Maximum Rate of Application (Inchlhr of Irrigation) Infiltration rate varies with soils. If applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system, you must apply at a rate that will not result in runoff. For your most limiting site, this is �7 inches per hour. (See Tables 1 for recommended rates on a field by field basis.) Furthermore, you should not apply more than in any one application event. Sjr Sludge Accumulation in Anaerobic Lagoons Over a 15 year period you will generate DOC �•.a1 of sludge. You will need to make plans to land apply this material. The current manure nutrients utilization plan includes an estimate of land required for these applications based on the Tables in NRCS Standard 633, and the N requirement of 1, 4!— grown on a soil. At the time of application, you must have the sludge analyzed and make applications at agronomic rates based on the results. Since the nutrient concentrations of sludge can be much higher than those of lagoon liquids, you will either need to plan for extra land to receive these nutrients or make arrangements with a nearby landowner to apply your sludge material.

The time required for the planned fluid level to be reached may vary due to soil conditions, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent runoff from the field or damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out: 1. 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. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste before land application. /--- 3. Begin pump -out of the lagoon, at the latest, when fluid level l reaches the proper elevation as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches the proper elevation as marked by permanent marker or before fluid depth is less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable bacteria). For proper lagoon managment pump -out can and should occur anytime the fluid level is between the stop pump and begin pump markers and conditions are right for the crop to recieve nutrients. 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is .50 inch and the recommended maximum application rate is .75 inch per hour. 5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. 6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and establish in vegetation. 7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets. 8. 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 J this law. `?

All annual fields are to be switched from a rotation of millet and winter rye to hybrid bermuda and winter rye(the bermuda will be sprigged in the spring of 2006). The farm will now have 38.55 acres that will all be bermuda grass (combination of grazing and hay) and grazed rye grain in the winter. The total N required for this cropping system will be 11,334 lbs. Total N generated is only 6,480 lbs, which leaves a deficit of 4,854 lbs of N. This deficit should provide a large degree of flexibility for unusual weather patterns and application of waste. Bermuda fertilization should be made in multiple events. Bermuda grass can be fertilized 30 days prior to "green -up", or April I", The final fertilizer event should be made no later than September 30'h. Note- for fields 2 and 4, N applications during the establishment year (2006) of bermuda grass should only be 50% of allowed rate. This will allow for maximum establishment potential and decrease weed pressure.

This table provides a nutrient balance for the listed fields and crops for each year of the plan. Required nutrients are based on the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements and soil test results. The quantity of nutrient supplied by each source is also identified. The total quantity of nitrogen applied to each crop should not exceed the required amount. However, the quantity of other nutrients applied may exceed their required amounts. This most commonly occurs when manure or other byproducts are utilized to meet the nitrogen needs of the crop. Nutrient management plans may require that the application of animal waste be limited so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of this nutrient are detected in a field. In such situations, additional nitrogen applications from nonorganic sources may be required to supply the recommended amounts of nitrogen.

Fields that receive manure must have an annual soil analysis for these elements. High levels of zinc and copper can adversely affect plant growth. Alternative crop sites must be used when the concentration of these metals approach excessive levels. Site life can be estimated by dividing the amount of copper and zinc to be applied in lbs/acre by 0.036 and 0.071, respectively and multiplying the result by 0.85. By adding this quantity to the current soil index for copper or zinc, we can predict life of the site for waste disposal. In addition to copper and zinc indices, this table also provides a summary of lime recommendations for each crop based on the most recent soil sample.

These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for each source, the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates shown in the second column. Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent At clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied. Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

Available storage capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero. Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design storage capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated. If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for sludge utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for each source, the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates shown in the second column. Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied: Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a, concern.

Any discharge of waste that reaches surface water is prohibited: 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns - -or has an agreement for use of adequate land%on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an agreement with a landowner, who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the,use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the'owner of the waste production facility to secure an update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving ...crop type, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall -.be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen'needs for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical data, ,,climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to. land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons peracre per year -but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where . runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste application., .Waste should not be applied when there is'danger of drift from the land application field. , 4 b When animal waste is to be applied on acres -subject to flooding, waste will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste.is applied to. conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season'prone.to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance). 7. Liquid waste.shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offsite onto surface waters and in a method which'does' not cause drift from the site during application.

Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when 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 a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10.

The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling rye into short (less than 3 inches tall) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds may be broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by alight cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to August 31. An application of 50 lbs/acre of Plant Available N (PAN) may be applied between September 15 and October 30. An additional 50 Ibs.acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If rye growth is harvested on time and does not significantly shade the bermuda, PAN rates for the subsequent bermuda crop are based on realistic yields of Bermuda. A harvest is required prior to heading or April 7, which ever comes first. This is necessary to minimize the potential for shading bermuda and reducing its yields. The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded with cereal rye must be reduced by 25%. ANNUAL RYEGRASS Annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best opportunity to get,winter growth. The most consistent stands are obtained from drilling ryegrass into short (less than 3 inches tall) bermudagrass sod. If drilling is not possible, the seeds maybe broadcast on short bermuda sod followed by a light cultivation with a disc or tillage implement. The seeding rate for broadcast planting of seeds, should be 1.5 times the rate for drilled seeds. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda'prior to August 31. An application of 50 lbs/acre of PAN may be applied between, September 15 and October 30. An additional 50 lbs. acre of PAN may be applied in February -March. If additional PAN is applied to the ryegrass in April -May, the PAN rate for the bermuda must be reduced by a corresponding amount. This is necessary because ryegrass growth during April -May will redtice bermuda yields and shorten the time bermuda can fully utilize the N. A harvest is required by heading or April 7, which ever comes first to prevent shading of emerging bermuda during April -May period. To favor the production of the bermuda, additional harvests of ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass canopy reaches 12 to 15 inches height. The PAN rate for grazed systems with bermuda overseeded with annual•ryegrass must be reduced by 25%. . ....... . ........ ..... .......... ............... ....... 417611 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 02-23-2006 Crop Note Page Page 2 of 2 • LF Tarheel Swine Cropping narrative supplemental (modified on 2/06) On February of 2006, the following modifications were made to the cropping system of Tarheel Swine. All annual fields are to be switched from a rotation of millet and winter rye to hybrid Bermuda and winter rye(the bermuda will be sprigged in the spring of 2006). The farm will now have 38.55 acres that will all be Bermuda grass (combination of grazing and hay) and grazed rye grain in the winter. The total N required for this cropping system will be 11,334 lbs. Total N generated is only 6,480 Ibs, which. leaves a deficit of 4,854 IN of N. This 'deficit should provide a large degree of flexibility for unusual weather patterns and application of waste. Bermuda fertilization should be made in multiple events. Bermuda grass can be fertilized .30 days prior to "green -up", or April 1" . The final fertilizer event should be made no later than September 30". Note- for fields 2 and 4, N applications during the establishment year (2006.) of bermuda grass should only be 50% of allowed rate. This will allow for maximum establishment potential and decrease weed pressure. Rye Small grain was to added to cropping rotation of field 3. Narrative (supplemental) On February of 2006, the following modifications were made to the cropping system for Tarheel Swine. All fields that were previously in a rotation of millet and cereal rye are to be switched to hybride bermudagrass and cereal rye. (the bermudagrass will be established this spring/summer). The farm will have 38.55 acres in this combination. 1/2 the bermudagrass will be harvested as hay, with the other 1/2 being harvested through grazing. The winter rye will be harvested through grazing. Bermudagrass and rye irrigation should be made according to the fertilization schedule in the WUP. For Bermudagrass fields that are to be established this year (fields 2 &.4), all efforts should be made to keep N application at 50% rate to allow for maximum establishment potential and reduce weed pressure for the initial planting year.

Technical Specialists are designated by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission pursuant to 15A NCAC 6F.0005. Technical Specialists should only certify parts of a plan for which they are tecluiically competent. Emergency Actirn Plan This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operations are leaking, overflowing, or running off the site. 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 available to all employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and breaks can happen at any time. 1) Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested responses to problems are listed below: a) Lagoon overflow: add soil to the berm to increase the elevation of the dam pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waterers) call a pumping contractor make sure no surface water is entering the lagoon Note: These Ectivities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the temporary storage level. b) Runoff from waste application field: immediately stop waste application create.a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field incorporate waste to reduce further runoff c) Leakinc.from the waste distribution system: pipes arid sprinklers: stop recycle (flushing system) pump stop irrigation pump close valves to eliminate further discharge separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow flush system, houses, solids separators: stop recycle (flushing system) pump stop irrigation pump make sure no siphon effect has been created separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow d) Leakage from base or sidewall of the lagoon. Often these are seepage as opposed to flowing leaks: dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back into the lagoon if hole., are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove Z animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil. other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil Note: For peiazanent repair measures, lagoon problems require the consultation -of an individual experienced in their design and installation. 2) Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages. a) Did the waste reach any surface waters? b) Approxiir.ately how much was released and for what duration? c) Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage? 3) Contact appropriate agencies. a) During normal business hours, call your DEM regional office: after hours, emergency number: (919) 733-3942. r Your phone call should include: your name, facility, telephone number, the details of the incident, the exact location of the facility, and the location or direction of movement of the spill,' weather and wind conditions, what corrective measures have been tai,en, %and the :seriousness of the situation. b)• if the spill leaves the property or enters surface -a:.- tom. . 1(' .%� i ] c) instruct EMS to contact the local d) Contact CES: clIC local SWCD office: local NRCS office: and your integrator: 4) Implement procedures as advised by assistance agencies to rectify the damage, reassess the waste management plan to keep of wastes from.,tiappening again..

Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by,runoff, drift, manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. There trust be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has a notarized agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of a notarized agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing hitn/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land. 3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. Actual yields may be used in lieu of realistic }Meld tables at the discretion of the planner. 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 by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it «ill be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur offske or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies. S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste should 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 r:,,-,*-ients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste n-,.Liient 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 plantirig of a crop or forages breaking dormancy.. 11. Any new s ine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply Mth the'folloMng: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon.that is a comporient of a swine faun shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from any perennial stream or river other than aii irrigation ditch or canal. Nns, NC TL NrT 1996 EXHIBIT A - WASTE UTILIZATION PLAIN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 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 proNided adequate vegetative filter strips are present (See Standard 393 - FiIter Strips). 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than I00 feet from wells. 13, Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by landowner. 14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 15. Animals waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways or wetlands by a discharge or by over - spraying. Animal waste my be applied to prior converted cropland provided it has been approved as a land applications site by a "technical specialist". Animal ►waste applied on grassed waterways shall be at agronomic rates and in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdowzm facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system. 17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc. are lirrSted to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept moWed and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for eN idence of erosion, leakage, or discharge. 18. If animal production at the facility is terminated, the owner is responsible for obtaining -and implementing a "clos-ere 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 wiLh 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 vc, =e) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the Iiquid Ievel between the markers. A :x arker «71l be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds. 22.

Facility Siting Date: Facility Status: New Expanding 1e Existing, New Waste Utilization Plan The purpose of a manure nutrient utilization plan is to estimate the acres of cropland needed to use the manure nutrients you produce without exceeding your design storage capacity. The plan is based on average manure generation values and average nutrient content for your type of facility. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops you will grow, their nutrient requirements, and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake. This manure nutrient utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting (priority) nutrient. The plan is based on typical manure production rates and average nutrient contents for this type of facility. Your actual production and nutrient values may vary, by 20°'0 or more. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can use. Implementation of the plan based on actual analysis may require additional acres or reduction in stocking rates to ensure that nutrients are not applied in excess of agronomic rates. This plan consists of • Description of your production facility and waste handling method • Estimate of manure produced on your farm • Fields and Crops which will receive manure nutrients =:> CFS Maps by tract and field => Soils Maps => Perennial Streams and Buffers • Estimate of acres required to use manure nutrients at agronomic rated • Irrigation Plan • Standards ::.7d specifications which must be followed The following records must be maintained for five years: • Manure nutrients (should be analyzed within 60 days of each application). • Soil test reports, sampled at least every two years + Manure application records If implemented according to these specifications, this manure nutrients management plan meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NC:AC 2FI,0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission . Animal Production Facility and Waste Handling System Animal Production Facility: (Units) Number of Animals (Production Units): (� Amount of Manure per Animal (Production Unit): Total Manure Generated: �.t_, Waste Handling System Annual Sludge Accumulation: Your facility is designed for days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every H MONTHS. For anaerobic Lagoon handling systems only: From the lowest point in your lagoon wall or dam, you must maintain the liquid level a minimum of 12 inches plus the number of inches in a 24 hour, 25 year storm rainfall. For this location this level is amount is �� inches below the lowest point. Estimated Acres The following acreage will be needed to use your manure at agronomic rates without exceeding manure design storage capacity: (Details in Table 1) Application Method Estimated Acres Broadcast -unincorporated Broadcast - incorporated Injected Irrigated, (unincorporated) 25 Total Acres Maximum Rate of Application (Inchlhr of Irrigation) Infiltration rate v. -Ies with soils. If applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system, you must apply at a rate that will not result in runoff. For your most limiting site, this is C ,-7 S� inches per hour. (See Tables 1 for recommended rates on a field by field basis.) Furthermore, you should not apply more than L a in any one application event. Sludge Accumulation in Anaerobic Lagoons ` o oc o.c, Over a 15 year period you will generate t,��-G of sludge.. You will need to make plans to [and apply this material. The current manure nutrients utilization plan includes an estimate of land required for these applications based on the Tables in NRCS Standard 633, and the N requirement of u J, grown on a soil. At the time of application, you must have the sludge analyzed and make applications at agronomic rates based on the results. Since the nutrient concentrations of sludge can be much higher than those of lagoon liquids, you will either need to plan for extra land to receive these nutrients or make arrangements with a nearby landowner to apply your sludge material. 55C I!- , n cl_� 010;�„�:���;� tom; S- 1 Nc F o'r m No. I 9.12.56 , 60 UN I ` 19) STAT1_5 DFVA1M0;'NT soil Conservation OF AGRI CUL7'U1'1_.

The time required for the planned fluid level to be reached may vary due to soil conditions, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. - Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent runoff from the field or damage to Crops. The following items are to be carried out: 1. 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. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste before land application. 3. Begin pump -out of the lagoon, at the latest, when fluid level reaches the proper elevation as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches the proper elevation as marked by permanent marker or before fluid depth is less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable bacteria). For proper lagoon managment pump -out can and should occur anytime the fluid level is between the stop pump'and begin pump markers and conditions are right for the crop to recieve nutrients. 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is .50 inch and the recommended maximum application rate is .75 inch per hour. 5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. 6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and establish in vegetation. .j 7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets. 8 .'' ` 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.

Deficit: 3,427 lbs N CROPPING NARRATIVE Tarheel Farms has 15.5 acres of Hybrid Bermudagrass hay/pasture land as well as 29.8 acres planted in Summer and Winter annuals available for land application of the 3,860,000 gallons of lagoon liquid generated on site. The Bermudagrass will be harvested by a combination of haying and grazing. The additional 29.8 acres will be used to graze cattle on millet in the Summer months and Rye in the Winter months. Using 1.9lbs N/1,000 gallons of waste, which is the average of the three attached waste analyses (2.5, 1.3, 1.8), the operation generates approx. 7,334 lbs N that needs to be utilized. Using NRCS Realistic Yield Expectations and recommended N rates Tarheel Farms can utilize as much as 10,761 lbs N with this cropping system. The difference between the amount of Nitrogen needed and the amount of Nitrogen generated is 3,427 lbs N; therefore, this farm will have a large degree of flexibility in the placement and timing of its land application of waste. Applications of waste can be made to the Bermudagrass as early as 30 days prior to green up until growth and Nitrogen uptake slows. For our area this will provide a window from about March 15th (or 1 week after the last 32 degree temp.) until August 15th. Annual soil tests should be made to ensure that the proper lime and K (potash) levels are maintained to achieve maximum growth and N uptake. When harvesting Bermudagrass and hay, make the first cutting when the plants are 12-15 inches tall and every 4-6 weeks afterwards. Apply N when Spring gro«Nlh begins and then after each cutting. When grazing Bermudagrass the best performance and utilization occurs when animals graze on plants no taller than 4-5" and no lower than 1.5-2". Split N applications into April, June and July. See attached Bermudagrass management info Application of waste to millet can be made about May until August which is from planting until the end of peak growth. About 50 lbs N can be applied at planting and another 50 when plants are 6-8" tall and again after the first grazing period. Total N application should not exceed 160 lbs total/acre. Applications of waste to Rye can be made from planting until late Winter. This will provide; a " indofrom about September until February 15th. Apply 60 lbs N at planting and then topdress with another 60 lbs N in November when plants are 2-3" tall, and topdress again with 50 lbs on or near Feb. 15th. - NOTE: If the full rate of N or'waste was applied to the millet that proceeds the Rye planting, skip the initial N application, and possibly the second if Rye is growing well. This allo«vs for N carry over and provides "safety factor" for ground water. The acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Annual acreage requirements may be more or less based on the waste analysis report for your waste management facility.• YOUR WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING: Tract Field Soil Crop Yield Lbs.

OFFICE Subject: Fertilizer Application Recordkeeping Animal Waste Management System Facility Number 77-12 Richmond County This letter is being sent to clarify the recordkeeping requirement for Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) application on fields that are part of your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. In order to show that the agronomic loading rates for the crops being grown are not being exceeded, you must keep records of all sources of nitrogen that are being added to these sites. This would include nitrogen from all types of animal waste as well as municipal and industrial sludges/residuals, and commercial fertilizers. Beginning January 1, 2000, all nitrogen sources applied to land receiving animal waste are required to be kept on the appropriate recordkeeping forms (i.e. IRR1, IRR2, DRY1, DRY2, DRY3, SLUR1, SLUR2, SLD1, and SLD2) and maintained in the facility records for review. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) compliance inspectors and Division of Soil and Water operation reviewers will review all recordkeeping during routine inspections. Facilities not documenting all sources of nitrogen application will be subject to an appropriate enforcement action. Please be advised that nothing in this letter should be taken as removing from you the responsibility or liability for failure to comply with any State Rule, State Statute, Local County Ordinance, or permitting requirement.

OFFICE Subject: Notification for Wettable Acre Determination Animal Waste Management System Tar Heel Swine Facility Number 77-12 Richmond County A letter dated January 15, 1999 was sent to advise you about concerns associated with Certified Animal Waste Management Plans and the method by which the irrigated acres within the plans were calculated. Only the acres that are wetted can be credited in the waste management plan as receiving waste application. Any acreage within the plan that can not be reached by waste application equipment can not be used as part of your plan. An evaluation by Jeffery Brown on 3/25/99 was made to review the actual number of acres at your facility that receive animal waste during land application. The evaluation of your facility has yielded one of the following two results as indicated by the box marked with an "X". Category I - The evaluation of your facility could not be completed due to a lack of information. Please contact your Technical Specialist to assist in providing Jeffery Brown the necessary information to potentially exempt your facility from undergoing a complete wettable acre determination. Please submit this information to Jeffery Brown, at 225 Green Street, Suite 714, Fayetteville, NC 28301, within in 90 days of the receipt of this letter. If you have any questions please contact Jeffery Brown at (910) 486-1541. If within 90 days you are unable to provide Jeffery Brown with the information you are automatically required to complete a Wettable Acre Determination as described by Category 2 below, within 180 days of receipt of this letter. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 'Telephone 919-733-5083 Fax 919-715-6048 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post -consumer paper Notification for Wettable Acre Determination Animal Waste Management System Page 2 Category 2: ❑ Your facility has been identified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources as a facility that may have overestimated the number of acres actually receiving animal waste. Therefore, some or all of your fields may be exceeding the allowable loading rates set in your Certified Animal Waste Management Plan. In order to resolve this issue, please contact a designated Technical Specialist to have him or her conduct a Wettable Acre Determination for your facility. The Technical Specialist must be one that has been approved by the Soil and Water Conservation Commission to conduct Wettable Acre Determinations. Many Technical Specialist with the N.C. Cooperative Extension Service, the Soil and Water Conservation Districts, the Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the Division of Soil and Water Conservation have received this special designation. You may also contact a private Technical Specialist who has received this designation, or a Professional Engineer. All needed modifications to your Animal Waste Management System must be made and the Wettable Acres Determination Certification must be -returned to DWQ within the next 180 days. If the needed modifications are not made and if the form is not returned within the required time, DWQ will be forced to take appropriate enforcement actions to bring this -facility into compliance. These actions may include civil penalty assessments, permit revocation, and/or injunctive relief. Once a Wettable Acre Determination has been completed, a copy of the attached Wettable Acre Determination Certification must be submitted to the address listed on the form. Please note that both the owner and the Technical Specialist must sign the certification. A copy of all the Wettable Acre Determination documentation that applies to your Waste Utilization Plan must be kept at your facility.
