NPDES Permit
TO: Ramesh Ravella
NC DEQ, DWR AFO Branch Supervisor, Raleigh, NC
Vernon Cox
Director
Simpson's Eggs, Inc. would like to switch from an NPDES permit to a State General Wet Poultry permit.
Simpson's Eggs, Inc first obtained an NPDES permit when required to in 2003 due to their size and have
maintained this permit to date. During this time, Simpson's Eggs, Inc has not had a discharge of animal waste
into waters of the state. With their NPDES permit expiring, their desire is to switch to be covered under the
State General Wet Poultry permit. Please find attached an updated Waste Management Plan and State General
Wet Poultry permit application.
If you have any further questions or concerns do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,

Owner / Manager Agreement
I (we) verify that all the above information is correct and will be updated upon changing. I (we) understand the operation and
maintenance procedures established in the approved animal waste management plan for the farm named above and will
implement these procedures. I (we) know that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste treatment and
storage system or construction of new facilities will require a permit application and a new certification to be submitted to the
Division of Water Resources (DWR) and permit approval received before the new animals are stocked. I (we) understand that
there must be no discharge of animal waste from the storage system to surface waters of the state unless specifically allowed
under a permit from DWR and there must not be run-off from the application of animal waste. I (we) understand that run-off
of pollutants from lounging and heavy use areas must be minimized using technical standards developed by the USDA -
Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). The approved plan will be filed at the farm and at the DWR Regional
Office and the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD). I (we) know that any modification must be
approved by a technical specialist and submitted to the DWR Regional Office and local SWCD and required approvals
received from DWR prior to implementation. A change in farm ownership requires a permit application to be sent to DWR
along with a new certification (if th�_Vproved plan is changed). A 'oq '—n

Type of Plan: Poultry Litter Nutrient Management
Narrative:
Michael Shepherd 2022 Update
This waste management plan update is to address the updated gallons of egg wash water
produced annually, the total number of permitted birds as well as switching permit type from
NPDES permit to State General Wet Poultry permit. All dry poultry litter produced from the facility
will be exported by third party hauler agreements offsite of the farm to land not controlled by
Simpson's Eggs, Inc.
An estimated 1,000,000 gallons of egg wash water will be produced annually from the facility. The
water from the egg washing facility drains to a settling basin where solids are removed routinely by
a septic hauler. The liquid from the settling basin then travels to the waste holding pond.
Wastewater from the holding pond is irrigated through a set of 19 stationary sprinklers. The
nutrient value of the wastewater produced from the egg washing process is minute. Land
application of the wastewater will be more hydraulic limited than nutrient limited. Caution shall be
used when land applying wastewater to not result in runoff of wastewater from the land application
field.
The facility is expanding, and the total number of permitted birds will be increased from 1,400,000
to 1,750,000. All the dry poultry litter will continue to be hauled offsite.

Waste Utilization Table
Simpson's Eggs
The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of
cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient
requirements, and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure
or other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each
field in order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure
applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

Planned Crops Summary
Simpson's Eggs
The table shown below provides a summary of the crops or rotations included in the plan for each field. Realistic Yield estimates
and Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) recommendations are also provided for each crop as well as the crop's P205 Removal Rate.
The Leaching Index (LI) and the Phosphorous Loss Assessment Tool (PLAT) Rating are also provided for each field, where
available.
If a filed's PLAT Rating is High, any planned manure application is limited to the phosphorous removal rate of the harvested plant
biomass for the crop rotation or multiple years in the crop sequence. Fields with a Very High PLAT Rating should receive no
additional applications of manure. Regardless of the PLAT rating starter fertilizers may be recommended in accordance with
North Carolina State University guidelines or recommendations. The quantity of P205 applied to each crop is shown in the
following table if the field's PLAT rating is High or Very High.

Primary Secondary
Version —November 26, 2018
Mortality Management Methods
Indicate which method(s) will be implemented.
When selecting multiple methods indicate a primary versus secondary option.
Methods other than those listed must be approved by the State Veterinarian.
Routine Mortality
Burial three feet beneath the surface of the ground within 24 hours of knowledge of animal
death. The burial must be at least 300 feet from any flowing stream or public body of water
(G.S.106-403). The bottom of the burial pit should beat least one foot above the seasonal
high water table. Attach burial location map and plan.
Landfill at municipal solid waste facility permitted by NC DEQ under GS 15A NCAC
13B .0200.
Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S. 106-168.7.
Complete incineration according to 02 NCAC 52C .0102.
a a A composting system approved and permitted by the NC Department of Agriculture & Con-
sumer Services Veterinary Division (attach copy of permit). If compost is distributed off -farm,
additional requirements must be met and a permit is required from NC DEQ.
In the case of dead poultry only, placing in a disposal pit of a size and design approved by the
NC Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (G.S. 106-549.70).
a a Any method which, in the professional opinion of the State Veterinarian, would make possible
the salvage of part of a dead animal's value without endangering human or animal health.
(Written approval by the State Veterinarian must be attached).
Mass Mortality Plan
Mass mortality plans are required for farms covered by an NPDES permit. These plans are
also recommended for all animal operations. This plan outlines farm -specific mortality man-
agement methods to be used for mass mortality. The NCDA&CS Veterinary Division sup-
ports a variety of emergency mortality disposal options; contact the Division for guidance.
• A catastrophic mortality disposal plan is part of the facility's CAWMP and is activated
when numbers of dead animals exceed normal mortality rates as specified by the State
Veterinarian.
• Burial must be done in accordance with NC General Statutes and NCDA&CS Veterinary
Division regulations and guidance.
• Mass burial sites are subject to additional permit conditions (refer to facility's animal
waste management system permit).
• In the event of imminent threat of a disease emergency, the State Veterinarian may enact
additional temporary procedures or measures for disposal according to G.S. 106-399A.

NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PLAN
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
N.C. Practice Job Sheet: NC-590
Prepared for: Simpson's Eggs, Inc

Farm:
WHAT IS NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT?
Michael Shepherd
Nutrient Management is applying nutrients
from all sources with the right placement, in
the right amount, at the right time, and from
the right source to minimize nutrient losses to
surface and groundwater. This practice is
accomplished through development and
implementation of a Nutrient Management
Plan, which can be part of a broader
Conservation Plan or CNMP that addresses
multiple resource concerns.
PURPOSE OF NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT
A nutrient management plan is intended to
accomplish one or more of the following
objectives:
• To budget, supply, and conserve nutrients for
plant production.
• To minimize agricultural nonpoint source
pollution of surface and groundwater
resources.
• To properly utilize manure or organic by-
products as a plant nutrient source.
• To protect air quality by reducing odors,
nitrogen emissions (ammonia, oxides of
nitrogen), and the formation of atmospheric
particulates.
• To maintain or improve the physical, chemical,
and biological condition of soil.
CONTENTS OF THE NUTRIENT
MANAGEMENT PLAN
The following components are included in
nutrient management plan specifications
typical of more 'traditional'
Tract(s): 3995 Date:J—J_J 2022
fertilizer and manure application methods.
When precision ag/variable rate application
technology is utilized, see the next section of
this Job Sheet for additional guidance on plan
requirements.
• aerial site photograph(s)/imagery or site
map(s), and a soil survey map of the site,
• Sufficient soils information —such as dominant
soil map until for each planned field —needed
to apply nutrients at RYE and Soil Test Report
determined rates as appropriate; and to not
exceed rates determined by nutrient risk
assessment planning criteria.
• location of designated sensitive areas and the
associated nutrient application restrictions and
setbacks,
• results of approved risk assessment tools for
any necessary evaluations for nitrogen,
phosphorus, and erosion losses.
• current and/or planned plant production
sequence or rotation,
• soil, water, compost, manure, organic by-
product, and plant tissue sample analyses
applicable to the plan. Where non-NCDA soil
testing labs are used, nutrient
recommendations must be made using NCDA-
similar guidelines and methodologies. Note:
high levels of soil copper and zinc may be toxic
to production crops. Land application of these
nutrients must be accordance with
NCSU/NCDA crop toxicity guidelines.
• Realistic yield goals for the crops planned for
nutrient application,
NC-590 Job Sheet May 2015 page 1

DocuSign Envelope ID: FBAA03BB-8BEC-4ABF-B79C-2396A21BD5B8
• Planned nitrogen application rates based on
NC Realistic Yield Expectations (RYEs) or
sufficiently documented yield records,
• The Nitrogen Leaching Index for planned
fields,
• Planned P & K application rates based on soil
test results (see next section where P & K
applied through variable rate technology).
• listing and quantification of all nutrient sources
and form, including starter fertilizer
applications and legume -based cover crop
mixes.
• in accordance with the nitrogen and
phosphorus risk assessment tool(s), specify
the recommended nutrient application source,
timing, amount (except for precision/variable
rate applications specify method used to
determine rate), and placement of plant
nutrients for each field or management unit,
and
• guidance for implementation, operation and
maintenance, and recordkeeping as specified
by the CNMP or applicable NC DWQ or
NDPES permit.
Where precision/variable rate nutrient
application applications are planned and
made, some required planning components of
the preceding section may be provided by the
overall conservation plan. In addition, the
following components are required in nutrient
management planning.
• The geo-referenced field boundary and data
collected that was processed and analyzed as
a GIS layer or layers to generate nutrient or
soil amendment recommendations.
• Planned nitrogen application rates based on
NC RYEs or sufficiently documented yield
records
• The Nitrogen Leaching Index for planned
fields.
• The nutrient recommendation guidance and
recommendation equations used to convert the
GIS base data layer or layers to a nutrient
source material recommendation GIS layer or
layers.
Soil testing documentation that crop
Phosphorus (P205) and Potassium (K20)
nutrient or soil amendment application will be
made per soil test results similar to NCDA
guidelines. Where P & K will not be applied
via variable rate application technology, but by
basic GPS guidance, recommended P & K
NC-590 Job Sheet May 2015
rates must be provided as specifications prior
to application.
• Note —where Diammonium phosphate (18-46-
0) is the primary variable rate P fertilizer
source applied on legume crops, additional N
will likely be needed to achieve RYEs.
The plan was developed based on the current
NRCS 590 standard and Federal, state, or
local regulations or policies. Changes in laws
or regulations may require a plan modification.
This Job Sheet is a required supplement to
the Nutrient Management Plan.
NC Permitted Animal Operations: For NC
DENR-DWR or NPDES permitted animal
operations, the waste utilization portion of the
Certified Animal Waste Management Plan
(CAWMP) must meet requirements specified by
the Permit. The NC 1217 Interagency Group
provides guidance on the required minimum
elements of a CAWMP. This guidance is found in
Sec 1.1 of the latest 1217 Guidance Document,
located at:
http://www.ncaqr.gov/SWC/tech/quidancedocumen
ts.html.
Nitrogen Leaching Index Values
Nitrogen Leaching Index values, obtained through
use of current Soil Hydrologic Group (SHG)-based
LI index maps in Sec II of the NC FOTG or RUSLE
2 field -specific soil loss calculations, are included
in the Nutrient Management Plan. SHGs per soil
map unit are available through selection of the Soil
Data Explorer and Soil Properties and Qualities
(then select "Soil Qualities and Features") tabs
once an Area of Interest has been defined in
NRCS Web Soil Survey.
If the Nitrogen Leaching Index > 10 for planned
fields, appropriate conservation practices must be
included in a conservation plan to prevent nitrogen
from leaving the field via surface or subsurface

NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PLAN
DEVELOPMENT
The nutrient management plan has been
developed to meet nutrient application rate criteria
for all sources of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium
as specified by NRCS 590 Nutrient Management
standard criteria.
In addition to NCDA Agronomic Division soil test
recommendations, or soil test recommendations
made through similar guidelines, the plan is based
on NC INMC approved values for realistic yield
goals, nitrogen factors, phosphorus removal rates,
default nutrient values for animal waste, plant
availability coefficients for N, P, and K, and animal
waste generation volumes where applicable.
Approved values are found at:
ht4o.-Anutrients. soil. ncsu. edu/index.htm
Where manure is applied, farm records may also
be used through a procedure provided in SIB 1217
Interagency Group guidance, available at:
htto://www. ncagr. gov/SWC/tech/1217committee. ht
ml
For NC permitted animal operations, planning
requirements for Plan "Amendments" (minor
modifications) and "Revisions" (Major
Modifications) are clarified by SB 1217 Interagency
Group Guidance.
ADDITIONAL PHOSPHORUS -RELATED
PLAN INFORMATION (Applicable when
increases in Soil Test P are expected on
the planned area)
In NC, a field -specific Phosphorus Loss
Assessment Tool (PLAT) evaluation is completed
in accordance with 590 Nutrient Management
standard General Criteria requirements, and
phosphorus must be applied in accordance with
590 standard Manure Phosphorus Application
Rates.
In addition to the basic plan components, plan
information on PLAT categorical ratings, P
drawdown strategies, and conservation practices
to reduce P loss risk is required when increases in
Soil Test P are expected on the planned area.
Typically, this could occur when manure is
consistently applied at Nitrogen -based rates. High
levels of phosphorus in the surface soil layer have
been linked to increasing risk of P loss through
surface runoff and leaching.
❑ Increases in Soil Test P are expected
on the planned area (not typical if P
application made per soil test results).
PLAT Categorical Ratings Information
When soil test phosphorus continues to increase
on a long term basis, PLAT may produce results
that require P-based manure application planning
and planning for no additional manure P.
Conditions that will require P-based or no-P
planning will be based on site specific resource
conditions, which will facilitate data input into
PLAT. PLAT categorical ratings that will require
enhanced P application planning are:
HIGH: P-based manure application is required
(limited to P uptake in harvested crop biomass)
VERY HIGH: No additional manure P or starter P
application to be specified in nutrient management
plan.
Phosphorus Drawdown Strategy
Information:
Implementation of a phosphorus 'drawdown'
strategy may be a consequence of PLAT results,
or may be requested in order to lower soil test
phosphorus levels.
Should a reduction in soil test P be desired or
necessary, the only currently proven method of
substantial P 'drawdown' is to not apply manure -
based P and to plant and harvest crops that utilize
P currently present in the soil surface.
Crop specific estimated annual P removal amounts
are available on the NCSU Nutrient Management
in NC website:
http://nutrients.soil.ncsu.edu/vields/index.php
Conservation Practices and Management
Techniques to Reduce P Loss Potential:
Conservation practices, especially those that
prevent soil particle detachment and trap sediment
at field edges are effective in preventing
phosphorus movement from the planned site.
Manure application techniques can also be applied
to reduce P loss risk. These practices must be
included in the conservation plan where
determined PLAT risk = HIGH for planned fields.
Consult the conservation plan developed in
conjunction with the nutrient management plan for
information on practices recommended to reduce
phosphorus AND nitrogen loss risks. Application
management techniques to reduce nutrient loss
risk may be prescribed below:
NC-590 Job Sheet May 2015
page 3

DocuSign Envelope ID: FBAA03BB-8BEC-4ABF-B79C-2396A21BD5B8
Long Term Strategy for Reduction of Soil P
Levels:
As noted in the P drawdown strategy section, the
only currently proven method for reducing high
levels of soil P is not applying P, paired with
producing crops on the planned site that use
existing soil P. Where soil P and PLAT
evaluations indicate an increasing risk to water
quality, substantially reducing soil P levels through
crop uptake can take many years of
implementation. When P is not applied, and
existing soil P is used by crops, eventually, soil will
become P deficient. Consult CES or NCDA
Regional Agronomy specialists for additional
information soil test P reduction timelines.
Manure P produced in excess of crop
requirements:
Consult the nutrient management plan for a
quantification of manure generated by the animal
feeding operation that may exceed crop P
requirements.
"Manure Hauler" Information
All manure waste applied on land owned by or
controlled by the Animal Feeding Operation (AFO)
owner or operator must be included in the nutrient
management plan. The volume difference in total
manure waste generated by the AFO and waste
applied to land not owned or controlled by the
producer must be accounted for in a nutrient
management plan.
General information on manure waste generated
by an AFO to be applied to land not owned or
controlled by the AFO owner or operator may be
recorded as specified in the NC CNMP
Certification Sheet and Documentation Checklist or
other supplemental documentation to the nutrient
management plan. NRCS CNMP technical criteria
require documentation of manure exports off the
farm (this can be done below). The AFO
owner/operator should provide the third party
applicator with a current waste analysis in order to
facilitate agronomic crop application of the facility's
generated waste. Should land not owned or
controlled by the AFO owner or operator be
included in a nutrient management plan, the
complete plan must meet 590 criteria.
Type and Quantity of Animal Feeding Operation
(AFO) manure generated by the facility:
42,000 tons dry litter 1,000,000 gallons of egg wash
Quantity of AFO manure generated to be exported
off the farm for third party application:
42,000 tons dry litter
RECORDKEEPING
Waste reports from the NCDA & CS Agronomic
Division, or equivalent, are acceptable sources of
information for determining applied manure nutrient
amounts for recordkeeping or crop budgeting
purposes.
Records must be maintained for at least 5 years, or
for time and manner required by Permit for animal
operations to document plan implementation and
maintenance. As applicable, records include:
• soil, plant tissue, water, manure, and
organic by-product analyses resulting in
recommendations for nutrient application,
• quantities, analyses and sources of
nutrients applied,
• dates, and method(s) of nutrient
applications, source of nutrients, and rates
of application,
• weather conditions and soil moisture at the
time of application; lapsed time to manure
incorporation; rainfall or irrigation event,
• crops planted, planting and harvest dates,
yields, nutrient analyses of harvested
biomass, and crop residues removed,
• dates of plan review, name of reviewer,
and recommended changes resulting from
the review, and
• all enhanced efficiency fertilizer products
used.
Additional records for precision/variable rate
sites must include:
• maps identifying the variable application
source, timing, amount, and placement of
all plant nutrients applied, and
• GPS-based yield maps for crops where
yields can be digitally collected.
• Documentation per field nitrogen
application rates do not exceed RYE -
based recommended rates
• Documentation that applied phosphorus
and potassium recommendations do not
exceed recommended rates specified by
soil tests.
• For non -variable rate application of P & K,
provide applied map with field boundaries
indicating source, timing, method, and rate
of all applications.
• Where 'chlorophyll reader' technology is
utilized, application records that nitrogen
rates match RYE -based N rates as closely
as possible.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
The producer is responsible for safe operation and
maintenance of this practice, including all
equipment. Review the plan periodically to
determine if adjustments or modifications to the
plan are needed. In NC, animal operations
permitting provisions may specify more frequent
review periods. Adhere to the following operation
and maintenance provisions:
• Protect fertilizer and organic by-product
storage facilities from weather and accidental
leakage or spillage.
• Properly calibrate application equipment to
ensure uniform distribution of material at
planned rates.
• Workers should be protected from and avoid
unnecessary contact with inorganic fertilizers
and organic by-products. Extra caution must
be taken when handling ammonia sources of
nutrients, or when dealing with organic wastes
stored in unventilated enclosures.
• The disposal of material generated by the
cleaning of nutrient application equipment
should be accomplished properly. Excess
material should be collected and stored or field
applied in an appropriate manner. Excess
material should not be applied on areas of high
potential risk for runoff or leaching.
• Disposal or recycling of nutrient containers
should be done according to state and local
guidelines or regulations.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
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 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, storical 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 per acre 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.

DocuSign Envelope ID: FBAA03BB-8BEC-4ABF-B79C-2396A21BD5B8
6. 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 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 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. Nutrients from waste 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.
11. 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 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.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet

DocuSign Envelope ID: FBAA03BB-8BEC-4ABF-B79C-2396A21BD5B8
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other
than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public
right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainage ways, or
wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied
to prior converted cropland provided the fields 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.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from wash down 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.

DocuSign Envelope ID: FBAA03BB-8BEC-4ABF-B79C-2396A21BD5B8
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 of animal waste during the crop season.
21. 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 maintain the liquid level
between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum
storage volume for waste storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 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 nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to
be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate
than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be
monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals
approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted and maintained for optimum
crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum
of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a
minimum of three 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.

Dry Litter Poultry Requirements
Per NC General Statute 143-215.10C and Administrative Code in 15A NCAC 02T .1303, dry litter
poultry operations are deemed permitted. This means that while these operations are not
required to apply for permits, they must follow general requirements as outlined in statutes and
rules. Following is a summary of these requirements for all dry litter operations over 30,000 birds.
1. Litter shall not be stockpiled within 100 feet of perennial streams, waterbodies, or wells.
2. Stockpiled litter shall not be left uncovered for more than 15 days.
3. For land application, a setback of 25 feet from perennial streams and perennial waterbodies
must be maintained. However, land appliers should be aware of setbacks from all ditches
and intermittent streams. Runoff of litter due to improper land application can lead to
discharges which can result in violations or enforcement actions.
NOTE: Even if the above requirements are met, it is still the responsibility of the generator or
manure hauler (if used) to make sure that there is no discharge to waters of the State.
4. Litter shall be applied at rates that do not exceed the agronomic rate of the receiving crop.
The rates may be based on NC Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (NCDA&CS)
soil test recommendations or Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Standards. For
more information on realistic yield expectations (RYE), contact a technical specialist with
the Cooperative Extension Service, NRCS, NCDA&CS, or your local Soil and Water
Conservation District.
5. Develop and maintain a Waste Utilization Plan (Nutrient Management Plan). At a minimum,
the waste plan must contain a list of fields used for land application, the crops to be grown,
and the maximum application rate for each crop/field. While recommended, it is not
required for plans be developed by a certified technical specialist. An example waste plan is
available at http://www.ncagr.gov/SWC/tech/guidancedocuments.html
6. Litter shall be sampled as close to the time of application as practical, but at least within 60
days of the land application event. If manure is given or sold to a 3rd party, it is still the
responsibility of the generator to conduct the waste analysis, and provide a copy to the 3rd
party or manure hauler.
The state average nitrogen (N) content for dry litter as shown in the North Carolina
Agricultural Chemical Manual published annually by NC State University may be used to
calculate application rates in lieu of individual waste analysis; however, waste analysis is still
required. Information on waste analysis procedures is available from the Cooperative
Extension Service, publication number AG-439-33, Soil Facts: Waste Analysis, at
https://content.ces.ncsu.edu/waste-analysis.

DocuSign Envelope ID: FBAA03BB-8BEC-4ABF-B79C-2396A21BD5B8
7. A soil analysis is required at least once every three years for all fields that receive litter using
the standard soil fertility analysis, available from NCDA&CS. Information on soil sampling
procedures is available from the Cooperative Extension Service, publication number AG-
439-30, Soil Facts: Careful Soil Sampling -The Key to Reliable Soil Test Information, at
https://content.ces.ncsu.edu/careful-soil-sampling-the-key-to-reliable-soil-test-information.
8. Lime shall be applied to fields as specified by the Soil Test Report to assure suitable conditions
for crop growth.
9. Litter application must stop on a field if copper or zinc soil concentrations reach an Index level
of 3,000. As a proactive measure, waste generators should begin seeking alternate fields if
the level exceeds 2,000.
10. Recordkeeping. All records shall be kept for three years, including but not limited to:
• Soil test and waste analysis results
• Date and estimated volume of litter removed
• Land application records — when, where, and how much
• Records of litter sold or given to a 3rd party including the amount of litter removed,
the date litter was removed, and the name, address, and phone number of the
manure hauler.
11. When litter is given to a 3rd party, the following requirements apply:
• Recordkeeping requirements in #10 above,
• A copy of the current waste analysis must be provided to the 3rd party,
• Provide a copy of these guidelines to the 3rd party.
12. For dry litter operations that give/sell litter to a 3rd party or manure hauler:
• If the 3rd party applies litter to land that is owned/leased by the litter generator,
then that land must be included in the litter generator's Waste Utilization Plan.
• If the 3rd party hauls all litter away, and applies it to other 3rd party fields, then the
litter generator does not need to have fields listed in the Waste Utilization Plan;
however, a plan is still needed. The plan would be similar to the format suggested in
#5 above, but it would just state that all litter is hauled away.
Manure Haulers are regulated in Administrative Code in 15A NCAC 02T Section .1400. It is
strongly recommended that owners of dry litter poultry operations verify that any manure hauler
they use complies with all requirements — including registering with the Division of Water
Resources.
This is not meant to be a complete list of requirements, but to give poultry growers and the public
a summary of the regulations that are in place. For more information, you can visit our web page:

(Lat/Long or UTM Coord, or Sec/TS/R)
Expected Lifespan
The minimum expected lifespan of this practice is at least 15 years.
Operation & Maintenance Reguirements
The waste treatment lagoon was designed and installed to provide storage for biological treatment of
animal or other agriculture waste. The estimated life span of this installation is at least 15 years. The life
span of this practice can be assured and usually increased by developing and carrying out an operation
and maintenance (O&M) program.
You are required to perform inspections and O&M activities in order for this practice to achieve the
intended function, benefits, and design life. Items to inspect, operate, and maintain during the estimated
design life of this practice include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Operational requirements for emptying the waste treatment lagoon including the expected storage
period. Begin removal of the liquid from the waste treatment lagoon as soon as practical after the
maximum operating level has been reached. Also include the requirement that waste be removed
from the lagoon and utilized at locations, times, rates, and volume in accordance with the overall
waste management system plan.
• Include an explanation of the staff gauge or other permanent marker to indicate the maximum
operating level and the maximum operational drawdown.
• A provision for emergency removal and disposition of liquid waste in the event of an unusual storm
event that may cause the waste treatment lagoon structure to fill to capacity prematurely.
• Instructions as needed for ventilating confined spaces according to ASABE standard S607, Venting
Manure Storages to Reduce Entry Risk.
• An emergency action plan for lagoons where there is a potential for significant impact from breach
or accidental release. Include site -specific provisions for emergency actions that will minimize
these impacts.
• A description of the routine maintenance needed for each component of the facility. Also include
provisions for maintenance that may be needed as a result of waste removal or material
deterioration.
• Instructions for keeping records on sludge accumulation and removal of sludge when the sludge
accumulation reaches the maximum residual solids storage level.
• Include instructions for anaerobic lagoons for including a precharging volume at lagoon startup or
following sludge removal. Precharge the anaerobic lagoon with fresh water equal to the MTV prior
to volatile solids loading.
• For Anaerobic lagoons, provide instruction on timing removal and spreading of wastewater in a
manner that will reduce odor release.
