updated plans from
June 1 and 15, 2020
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 applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should
be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that
all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in 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, 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 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. 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.

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or land
application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited.
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, available moisture, historical data, climatic conditions,
and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of
application for other nutrients.
4 Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year.
Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but less than 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.
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 or flies.
8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
Page 5

(continued)
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:
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).
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
owned by the landowner.
Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-
14 ways.
15 Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands
by discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted
wetlands provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical
specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge
directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at
agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc.,
16 shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system.

Dear Mr. Gooden,
Dr. Colleen Hudak -Wise
Director
On December 10, 2020, I visited your swine operation in Bladen County. We discussed the
condition of the winter overseed located at White Plains Nursery, facility #9-131, Bennett Place Nursery,
facility #9-188, and David Gooden Farm, facility #1-16 and #9-210.to determine if additional waste
applications can be effectively utilized above the combined total of 25 lbs/A PAN for December/January.
The growth stage of your small grain overseed was approximately Feekes 3 to 3.5. A small grain crop is
capable of utilizing nutrients during this growth stage.
According to the long range forecast, nighttime temperatures will only be below 32 degrees for 4
days through the end of December, indicating fairly mild conditions conducive to plant growth. Daytime
temperatures are forecast to be above 60 degrees for 12 days through the end of December. These
relatively mild conditions will allow for more growth of your overseed crop. Due to the ability of the
crop to utilize more nutrients, I recommend that the waste application window to apply more than 25
lbs/A PAN be increased through December 31, 2020, not to exceed the 50 lbs/A PAN allowed for the
October 1 through December 31 timeframe.
This recommendation is for the application window only and applications should not exceed the
amount of PAN allowed in the farm's Waste Utilization Plan. Please prepare a conditional amendment
for the plan using these recommendations.
Sincerely, p

REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
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.
Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for
20 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
22 annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen shall be the rate -
determining element. Zinc and copper levels in the soil shall be monitored and
alternative crop sites shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH
shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste
analysis records shall be kept for five years. Poultry dry waste application records
shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste
shall be maintained for five (5) years.
23
Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Additional Comments:
Temporary plan for aerway was added on June 1 and June 15, 2020.
This plan is a temporary amendment for appliction to winter overseed for
combined fields from both plans. See attached map for locations of fields.
The farm has a letter from Regional agronomist, to apply more waste in
December than the guidance on OS amounts (see letter). 717e ta44?L
