The waste from your animal facility must'be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution.
of surface and/or groundwater. The. plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to
reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where the waste is
to be a -plied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the.limiting-nutrient.- Waste should be
.analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all
plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization plan in order to maximize
the fertilizer value of the waste and :to ensure that 'it is applied in an environmentally :safe
manner. 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* 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, when it
is raining; or when. the surface is frozen. :.Either of these conditions may result in runoff_ to
surface waters which is 'not allowed under' 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 applied :to bare ground not_ - more than 3.0 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. Acreage requirements 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 UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
1 Animal waste shall not reach _surface waters of the state by runoff, drift;: manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation:,or land application.
Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
2 There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an,
agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he/she shall provide a copy of
an agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable. proximity, allowing him/her the
'use of the land for waste application. It is the responsibility of the owner of the.facility to
secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation,
increase in the number of animals, method :of utilization, or available. land.
3 Animal' waste shall be applied to meet, but not: exceed, :the nitrogen needs for realistic
crop yields based on soil type, lavailable moisture, historical data, climatic conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict:the rate of application for
other nutrients.
4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste
may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 10 tons per acre per
year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG
Standard 393 - Filter Strip).
5 Odors can be reduced by- injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field.
g When animal waste is to be applied on acres Sub'ect to flooding, it will be soil incorporated
on conventionallyy tilled cropland. When applied conservation tilled crops or grassland,
the waste may broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season
beprone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance.)
7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil.infiltration.rate such -that runoff
does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift
from the site during application: No.ponding should occur in order to control odor or flies.
8 Animal waste shall not be applied_ to saturated soils, during rainfall events, 'or when the

9 Animal waste -shall be:applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is
not covered with. waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage
from animal waste should also be considered.
10 Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a
high potential for.leaching. Waste nutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a
minimum and a suitable winter cover. crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste,
shall not be .applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking
dormancy.
Any new swine facility:sited on or after October 1, 1995- shall comply with the following:
11 The outer perimeter of the land area: onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a
component of a. swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential; property -
boundary and from any perennial stream or river (other than an irrigation ditch or -canal.
Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or. after October 1, 1995);
shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter
Strips).
12 Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
Animal waste shall not be applied -closer than 200: feet of dwellings other than those
13 owned by the landowner. .
Waste shall be applied -in a manner not to reach other property and public right -,of -ways.
14
Animal waste shall not be discharged into, surface waters,: drainageways, or wetlands by
15 discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be.applied to `prior converted wetlands
provided they have been approved as a land. application, site by a' "technical specialist'.
Animal -waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water.'
courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a_
manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc.; shall
not be discharged into the animal waste management system.

17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be, established on all disturbed areas.
(lagoon embankments-, berms, pipe ' runs, etc.): Areas shall be fenced as necessary to
'protect'the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species,. etc.,
are limited to areas where considered appropriate: Lagoon areas should be kept mowed
and accessible:- Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidence of
erosion, leakage or discharge.
18 If ;animal production at the facility. is to .be suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19 Waste handling structures, piping pumps; reels;.etc:, should be inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be .
kept on site.
20 Animal:waste can be used in a rotation. that includes vegetables. and other:crops_ for direct
human consumption. . However,:,if animal: waste is used on. crops for :direct human
consumption it should only be applied. pre -plant with no further applications animal waste
during the crop season.
Highly visible markers. shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of.the
21 temporary storage. (pumping, volume) of all waste treatment lagoons.. Pumping shall be
managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to
mark the maximum storage.volume for waste storage ponds.
Waste shall be tested within ,60 days of utilization and: soil shall be tested at least annually .
22 at crop sites where waste products are applied: Nitrogen shall be the rate -determining
element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites
shall be _used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. ,Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for. five years. Poultry. dry waste application records shall be maintained, for- three. (3)
years. Waste application records:for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.
