While using animal waste as a source of nutrients for crops in lieu of inorganic fertilizers is an ecologically sound practice, producers should be aware that sludge that accumulates in a lagoon may have high concentrations of nutrients and/or heavy metals. Accordingly, the quantity of phosphorus and micronutrients in the material to be applied may exceed the fertility requirements of planned crops. Metals. High concentrations of metals in the soil can impact crop growth or yields. The application of lagoon sludge has the potential to significantly increase the concentration of metals (particularly copper and zinc) in the soil. NCSU and NCDA&CS recommend that alternative sites for waste application be sought when soil concentrations of zinc (Zn) exceed 142 lbs/ac (Zn-I of 2000) or copper (Cu) exceed 721bs/ac (Cu-I of 2000). A Cu-I or Zn-I of 3000 is recognized as a critical toxic level for some crops. For peanuts, alternative sites are recommended when the Zn-I is 300, and a Zn-I of 500 is recognized as a critical toxic level. Producers should be aware of the post -application Cu and Zn concentrations predicted on the sites planned for sludge application. Additionally, soil PH should be maintained at 6.0 or above to minimize risk of toxicity. Phosphorus. Phosphorus (P) concentration in lagoon sludge may be high. Because P adsorbs onto iron, aluminum, and calcium, the soil can bind and store excess P. When P concentrations reach higher concentrations, there is an increasing potential for P to be transported offsite and become a pollutant of surface waters. This transport may occur through soil erosion, or as a soluble form in surface runoff or leaching. An assessment of the risk for P loss to surface water is required as part of a nutrient management plan for permitted operations or those receiving federal or state cost -share assistance. If the potential for P transport offsite is high, then future application of animal waste may not be allowed in a nutrient management plan. Producers should be aware that applying lagoon sludge may limit the ability to use the site for future animal waste application. Accordingly, applying lagoon sludge to fields that are planned for future waste application as part of a nutrient management plan is not advised. 1 understand that applying macronutrients or micronutrients at rates that significantly exceed the expected crop removal could limit the future use of the field as a waste application site, and in some cases, negatively impact future plant growth. 1 voluntarily agree to apply sludge to the fields identified above that 1 own or operate according to the attached nutrient management plan or lagoon closure plan.

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' NC-590 Job Sheet May 2015 NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PLAN SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION N.C. Practice Job Sheet: NC-590 VIMM1/ 94,4ZQ E7V46/Li4D4C Tract(s):_ 1� - Date: 6 2- fertilizer and rr anure application methods. When precisict i ag/variable rate application technology is utilized, see the next section of this Job Sheet for additional guidance on plan requirements. • aerial site p otograph(s)Amagery or site map(s), and a soil survey map of the site, • Sufficient s ils information —such as dominant soil map until for each planned field —needed to apply nuti ients at RYE and Soil Test Report determined ates as appropriate; and to not exceed rates determined by nutrient risk assessment planning criteria. • location of d signated sensitive areas and the associated nutrient application restrictions and setbacks, • results of approved risk assessment tools for any necessc ry evaluations for nitrogen, phosphorus and erosion losses. • current and/ r planned plant production sequence oi rotation, • soil, water, compost, manure, organic by- product, and plant tissue sample analyses applicable t the plan. Where non-NCDA soil testing labs re used, nutrient recommend tions must be made using NCDA- similar guid lines and methodologies. Note: high levels soil copper and zinc may be toxic to productio crops. Land application of these nutrients must be accordance with NCSU/NCDA crop toxicity guidelines. • Realistic yield goals for the crops planned for nutrient aool cation. page 1 • 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 (1846- 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: httr)://www.ncagr.gov/SWC/tech/�guidancedocumen ts.html. Nitrogen Leaching Index Values Nitrogen Leaching Index values, obtained through use of current Soil Hydrologic Group ISHGI-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 peen 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 runoff. Below are conservation crop management techniques and practices recommended for mitigation of nitrate losses (practices also docu}ented in conservation plan): I�Ias-� ,,�►1 l h 111ed 0 eta. Of � clrai4 D rz u S d P �'�C 4.7 `17 page 2 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: htto://nutrients.soil.ncsu.edulndex htm Where manure is applied, farm records may also be used through a procedure provided in SIB 1217 Interagency Group guidance, available at: httQ://www.ncaar.aov/SWCAech/1217committee ht ml For NC permitted animal operations, planning requirements for Plan "Amendments" (minor modifications) and "Revisions" (Major Modifications) are clarified by SIB 1217 Interagency Group Guidance. ADDITIONAL PHOSPHORUS -RELATED PLAN INFORMATION (Applicable when increases in Soil Test P are expected on the planned areal In NC, a field -speck 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). When soil test F hosphor s continues to increase on a long term I asis, p` �T may produce results that require P-b 3sed manure application planning and planning foi no additional manure P. Conditions that Afill requirg P-based or no-P planning will be ased on site specific resource conditions, whic i will facilitate data input into PLAT. PLAT c4 itegoricallratings that will require enhanced P apr lication p anninq are: HIGH: P-based manure application is required (limited to P upt ke in harvested crop biomass) VERY HIGH: Oo additinal manure P or starter P application to b specifieI in nutrient management plan. Information: Implementation f a phosphorus 'drawdown' strategy may be a consequence of PLAT results, or may be requested in order to lower soil test phosphorus levE Is. Should a reduct on in soil best P be desired or necessary, the my currently proven method of substantial P 'di wdown' Is to not apply manure - based P and to )lant and harvest crops that utilize P currently pres nt in the soil surface. Crop specific estimated annual P removal amounts are available on he NCSY Nutrient Management in NC website: conservation pr ctices, especially those that prevent soil part le detachment and trap sediment at field edges ar effective in preventing phosphorus mo ement from the planned site. Manure applicat n techniques can also be applied to reduce P loss risk. Theese practices must be included in the c nservati6n plan where determined PLA risk = H�GH for planned fields. Consult the coniribed rvation plan developed in conjunction withhe nutrient management plan for information on pctices recommended to reduce hos horns ANnitro en loss risks. Application management toniques to reduce nutrient loss risk may be pre bejow: A1d 1��1 d s k j tV NC-590 Job Sheet May 2015 I page 3 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 specked in the NC CLAMP 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: 1400 F7eedcf -4 4?w iS h 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 specked 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. Quantity of AFO manure generated to be exported Where 'chlorophyll reader technology is off the farm for third party application: utilized, application records that nitrogen 1,2 14, 7itrr � rates match RYE -based N rates as closely J as possible. NC-590 Job Sheet May 2015 page 4 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.
