Great care should be taken when land -applying sludge from animal waste lagoons. Many opportunities
for release of waste during removal, transport, and application to surface water or public rights -of -way can
occur. Take all reasonable caution during the sludge removal process to reduce the chance of a release,
and take care not to damage the lagoon's dam and liner.

Condtional sludge Amendment
. A good representative sludge analysis and liquid analysis taken prior to sludge removal are required
to accurately determine the amount of plant available nitrogen (PAN), phosphorus, copper and zinc
contained in the waste.
A soil sample report for fields proposed to receive the sludge must be obtained (1) within the twenty-
four months prior to sludge application and (2) following the fast application of waste prior to the
proposed sludge application, This report will serve as the basis for estimating persistent metal
(copper and zinc) effects on soil indices.
it, Sludge should be applied at agronomic rates. Sludge should be only applied to the fields in this plan
and to the receiving crops listed,
4. Remove as much liquid from lagoon as possible.
t. Agitate and pump to field(s) that have been evaluated to receive sludge,
it. Recommend that sludge be applied only to fields that are not used for animal waste application to
prevent phosphorus and persistent metal build-up that render sites unsuitable for long-term waste
application.
11', If the sludge is to be applied on spray fields already listed in the CAWMP, the operation's overall
PAN balance must include the additional PAN from the sludge and still remain in a PAN deficit for
the animal operation,
Recommend that potential increases in copper and zinc soil levels be estimated.
t. New fields receiving animal waste or sludge for the first time must met current setbacks, and buffers
including, but not limited to;
a. Perennial Streams-75 feet
b. Wells-100 feet
c. Dwelling not owned by the producer-200 feet
d. Perennial water-25 feet
e. Residential property boundary-75 feet
In O. if sludge is applied on conventionally tilled bare soil, the waste shall be incorporated into the soil within
two days after application on the land. This NPDES/General Permit requirement does not apply to
no -till fields, pasture or fields where crops are actively growing.'.
11. Sludge application must be balanced with a current waste analysis on the SLUR-1 and SLUR-2 forms,
or other forms approved by DWQ.
12, The permittee Is responsible for documenting all sludge applications made to both the owned and the
leased fields listed in the CAWMP/WUP sludge amendment.
r13, For sludge transfer, the permittee must document the name and address of the recipient, and the volume
of sludge removed from the farm. The permittee must provide the third party receiver with a current
sludge and liquid analysis and information for proper land application management as required by the
farm's permit.

Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil and
Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining
the amount per acre to apply and the properapplication rate prior to applying the waste.
Narrative of operation:
SB515 setbacks apply. They are as follows:
1. 100' from water supply well
2. 200' from residence
3. 50' from public ROW.
4. 50' from property line not owned by the producer or lessor.
5. 75' from blue -line stream
Actual sludge analysis should be used for all recordkeeping. Records should be kept on SLD2
forms after applications documenting volumes applied.

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 [and 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"forguidance.)
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 contro[odor orflies.
8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface

(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 moved 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 tesponsible
for obtaining and implementhg a "closure plan" which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal
discharge, pollution and erosion.
Waste handling strudures, piping pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular basis to
19 prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills, A regular maintenance checklist should be kepton site.
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
20 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
temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be
managed to maintah the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark
21 the maximum storage volume forwaste storage ponds.
Waste shall be tested withh 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least 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
22 produdion 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 otherwaste shall be maintained for five (5)years.
23
Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.

Updated Crop Management Practices for Bermuda Winter Overseed
This document, as approved by the Interagency Nutrient Management Committee on
October 10, 2017, hereby modified the July 13, 1998 Memorandum "Crop Management
Practices for Select Forages Used in Waste Management". This modification updates
the application window protocol for the 100 lb Nitrogen PAN rate for both Cereal Rye
and Annual Ryegrass, as well as winter small grains.
• Farms utilizing the 100 lbs./ac PAN rate for the overseed are allowed to apply no
more than 50 Ibs.lac PAN from October 1 through December 31 and no more than
50 lbs./ac PAN from January 1 through March 31.
• Applications made during the months of December and January cannot exceed the
combined total of 25 Ibs.lac PAN for the two -month period.
• The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda crop prior to
September 30.
• The PAN rate for grazed systems must be reduced by 25%.
All other requirements of the July 13, 1998 Memorandum continue to apply. Those
requirements include but are not limited to:
• Cereal rye and annual ryegrass should be planted by October 15 to provide the best
opportunity to get winter growth.
• A harvest is required prior to heading or April 7, whichever comes first, for both
cereal rye and annual ryegrass. This is necessary to minimize the potential for
shading of emerging bermuda and reducing its yield. To favor the production of
bermuda, additional harvest of annual ryegrass will be required when the ryegrass
canopy reaches 12-15 inches height.
•
These management requirements shall also apply to overseeded winter small grain.
