Leamon Location: Hwy 115 N., right on Bailey Farm Rd., on right Telephone: 704-876-3689 Type Operation: Dairy Number of Animals: 150 (Design Capacity) Storage Structure(s): Dry Stack and Waste Storage Pond Application Method(s):Dry Haul and Solid -set Irrigation The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water 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. You must have the animal waste analyzed to determine nutrient content as close to the time of application as practical and at least within 60 days of the date of application before each application cycle. Soil nutrients in all fields where waste will be applied must be analyzed at least annually so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown. Soil test and waste analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years. 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: 1. 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. Lime must be applied to application fields as recommended by soil test to maintain the plant uptake of nutrients. 2. Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities. 3. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, (see Required Specification No. 4) waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year 7 2/1/02 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 4. 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 a violation of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) .0200 regulations. 5. Wind conditions at the time of field application of waste should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. 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. Otherwise apply waste no earlier than 30 days prior to planting a crop or prior to forages breaking dormancy. Injecting or otherwise incorporating the waste below the soil surface will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. 7. Zinc and copper levels in the soils in all fields where waste is applied shall be monitored and alternative application fields shall be used when these metals approach excess levels. This plan is based on waste application by _Hauling and Irrigation this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose hoose to od(s) ofaalter theplicatio for method(s) of application in the future, you need orevise this plan. Nutrient levels for various waste application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for Dairy_ (type operation) systems in North Carolina. Actual acreage requirements shall be based on waste analysis reports from storage structures in your waste management system. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis. Your _Dry Stack & WSP_ (storage structure) is designed for 60 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every TWO MONTMIS: If your facility is unroofed, in no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be higher than the maximum storage marker except in the event of a 25 year, 24 hour storm. Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. The waste management system which is covered by this waste utilization plan shall be operated only by persons which hold a valid certificate as an operator in charge of an animal waste management system. The North Carolina Water Quality Commission will provide training and certification of operators. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 (the .0200 rules) adopted by the Water Quality Commission. 8 2/1/02 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN ESTIMATE OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN FRO 'i LIQUID WASTE A.

You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future, regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen. The irrigation application rate should not exceed the infiltration rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amc_urit-should not exceed the available' water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation not should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. It is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in tables 1 through 3. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying forage plants under stress condition. Nitrate poisoning may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended. 14 (1-0}, 6/18/02 91- ‘,/2 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN WASTE_ APPLICATION TABLES The crop fields shown in the Waste Application Tables that follow are available for waste application. It will not be necessary and may not be desirable to apply waste to each of these fields in any given year. The Lbs. of Nitrogen Per Acre shown in the tables are estimated annual nitrogen (N) requirements of the crop to be grown based on the potential productivity of the soil and assuming no double cropping. The Recommended Lbs. of N to be Applied per acre indicates the Nitrogen that can be reasonably applied to the crop and used by the crop in a timely manner using animal waste alone. It will not be practical to meet 'all the nutrient needs of some crops with animal waste. Supplemental applications of commercial fertilizer may be required during the growing season in order to meet all crop nutrient needs. It is assumed that for certain row crops only a fraction of the total annual nitrogen requirement can be applied using animal waste. The landowner shall record the actual waste application volume made on each field on the Department of Water Quality Waste Application Record Form.

In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 81.50 which is marked by the outlet of the drainpipe from the parlor and catch basin. The amount of wastewater contained in the storage pond for one storage period is 94,887 gallons. The SOLID SET SYSTEM has a flow rate of approximately 122.5 gal/min, which utilizes seven sprinkler heads. This equates to 7,350 gallons per hour. Technical Guide Section IIG, Irrigation Guide, recommends an application amount of 1.6 inches with a maximum rate of 0.40 in/hr. A rate of 1.0 inch will be used. There are two lateral lines with fourteen (14) outlets per line with seven sprinklers used at time. This set of sprinklers covers approximately one acre. With one set covering one acre you have: (1 ac.)(1.6in.) = 1.6 ac.in. (1.6ac.in.)(27,154gal/ac.in.) = 43,446 gals/application Time Needed Per Application: 43,446 gal/appl. = 5.9 hrs. /application 7,350 gal/hr Application Rate: f '� 7,350 . als/hr = 0.27 in./hr 27,154 gal/ac.in. Total Hours Needed To Empty Storage Pond: 94,887 gals = 12.9 hours 7,350 gal/hr The waste will be applied to the fields as indicated, but only on the areas of the fields that is actually needed to apply the waste. 20 CEIP-1/ nro2 J, Cc- WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN NARRATIVE OF OPERATION (Continued) As shown there is more than enough land area to apply the waste at agronomic rates. Given this the operator has a better option to rotate his applications to the locations that meet the needs of his operation. The waste from the Dry Stack Facility will be emptied by front loader and loaded into a flail -type spreader with a capacity of five (5) tons. It will then be spread on pasture/hay land starting with fields closest to the barn. It will be applied at a rate of approximately three (3) loads to the acre. With the given analysis this rate will only be applying 65.7 lbs of nitrogen per acre. The remainder will need to be met by some other means. The Amount of PAN in the Liquid Wastewater Storage Pond was figured using Waste Analysis Reports from the last three years and averaged as per NCCES guidelines. 21 6/18/02 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN MAP SHOWING THE FIELDS TO BE USED FOR THE UTILIZATION OF WASTE. 22 2/1/02 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Application of Waste by Irrigation Tract Field Soil No. No. Type 8491 8 LfB2 Crop PCS Application Rate (in./hr.' .40 Application of Waste by Hauling Application Amount (inches) 1.0 Tract 1 Field Soil Crop Application No. No. i Type Rate (loads/acre)1 Application Amount (] oads)2 8491 1 CmB2 , PWS , 3 15 8491 1 2 CmB2 PCS I 8491 3a CfB2 PCS 8491 3b , CfC2 PCS 8491 3c 8491 4 8491 i 5 8491 6 CfC2 PCS CsE2 i PCS CmB2 PCS CmB2 PCS 3 3 3 3 30 30 36 12 3 23 3 13 3 16 _ 8491 7 LfC2 1 PCS 3 45 LcC3 PCS 3 42 8491 9 8491 8491 8491 8491 10 11 12 13 WkE PCS 3 58 CmC2 PCS 3 23 Bn PCS 3 18 Cw PCS 3 9 NOTE:1 _ lbsN/Ac required for crop _ = loads/ac (lbsN/ton(Waste Analysis Report) X capacity of spreader 2 loads/ac X Ac in field = loads 23 REcE4vcycZwR APR 032019 WatirQualify Pegional SecliOn4/12/02 WASTE.

Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Water Quality for every day the discharge continues. 2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has a notarized long term 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 NRCS with a copy of a notarized agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production facility. 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, climate conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other nutrients. Actual yields may be used in lieu of realistic yield tables at the discretion of the planner. 4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If a RMS or ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will, be in addition to "Buffers" required by DWQ. fSee FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strips and Standard 392 - Riparian Forest Buffer., 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing or any other condition exists which may cause a 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 cropsor 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" in the Technical ReLerence - Environment file for guidance} 24 2/1 /02 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 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 conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is not damaged by burning or smothering of the plant. This is an important consideration where swine, poultry or other ammonia rich waste is being surface applied. Surface broadcast solids or slurries may damage crops if leaf surfaces are matted. Generally waste should be applied such that no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered. This should not normally be a concern where diluted, low nutrient waste is irrigated or surface broadcast from a liquids holding structure. Where crops are severely damaged due to waste application, the plants cannot assimilate the nutrients and discharge of pollutants to surface waters is likely to occur. 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. On soils with a high potential for leaching, multiple application at lower rates should be used. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production & reduce the potential for pollution, the waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop on bare soil, or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients. 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 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 surface water. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 392 - Riparian Forest Buffer) 12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells. 13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those owned by the landowner. 25 2/1/02 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 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, drainageways or wetlands by a 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 which discharge directly into water courses. If animal waste is to be applied on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates and in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. 16. 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/holding pond embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be provided for these areas and 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/holding pond areas should be kept mowed and accessible. Lagoon/holding pond 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 an "approved 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 preplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season. 21. Highly visible permanent 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. 26 APR 0 3 2019 Watar Quality Regional Operations Section 2/1/02 WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS 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 element. Zinc and copper levels in the soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. Soil pH shall be adjusted for optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five (5) 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 NC regulations. North Carolina General Statute 106-403 requires that dead animals be disposed of within 24 hours in a manner approved by the state veterinarian.

Operation and Maintenance Requirements The waste management system will keep pollutants out of the streams and rivers if the 25 yr -24 hr storage capacity is maintained in the waste storage ponds and diversions for clean water and polluted runoff are maintained around the system. Before the waste storage pond reaches the high level mark set at each pond, the storage pond shall be emptied. A post will be set with its top at this elevation. See pond design computations above for each pond high level elevation. Vegetation around the waste storage pond shall be mowed annually and eroded areas patched. Fencing shall be checked and repaired as required.
