WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: Lewis Eddie Smith
Location: 1090 Smith Family Lane, Lincolnton NC 28092
Telephone: (704) 735-8158
Type Operation: Beef :Stockers
Number of Animals: 900 average weight 550 lbs
(Design Capacity)
Storage Structure (s) : Waste Storage Pond
Application Method(s) : Irrigation and Solid Manure Spreader
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 . 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.
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.

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.
S . 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 irrigation and solid manure
spreader for this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your
waste. If you choose to alter the method(s) of application in the
future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for various
waste application methods are not the same .
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 lagoon is designed for 365 days of temporary storage and the
temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every
12 MONTHS. 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.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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.

Amount of Waste Produced Per Year
Feedlot above Runoff Collection Alley
Estimate for manure collected and spread for beef paved and unpaved feedlot
manure is found in waste utilization standard. Estimate for the feedlots is
made below. Normal stocker numbers varies yearly. A total of 644 stockers
will be used in the yearly average for computing waste accumulations . The
plan is for a total of 900 stockers at full capacity.
Stockers are grazed some during the year. Approximately 25% of the waste will
be deposited on the pasture. It is estimated that 10% of the waste will be
collected in the waste storage pond in runoff. In the feedlot area
approximately 35% of the waste will be collected on the paved surfaces and
30% will be collected on unpaved surfaces.
Estimated quantity of manure collected on feedlots .
Unpaved quantity of manure
= 644 stockers * 30 cu ft/head/5 months * 12 months * 30%
= 13 , 910 cu ft @ 45 lb/cu ft = 313 tons
Paved quantity of manure
= 644 stockers * 28 cu ft/head/3 months * 12 months * 35%
= 25, 245 cu ft @ 60 lb/cu ft = 757 tons
Total quantity/year = 1070 tons/year
Waste water from runoff collection alley will be stored in the wste sorage
pond. During the course of one year, the waste storage pond will sore the
following amount of waste.
Waste storage pond 2 , 100, 000 gallons/year

Approximately 10% of the manure nutrients will be collected in the
Waste storage pond. Estimated N, PAN in waste pond is equal :

1418 lbs. PAN per year from liquid waste
+ 9, 523 lbs. PAN per year from solid waste
= 10, 941 Total lbs. PAN per year
Applying the above amount of waste as calculated above is a big job.
You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste
in a timely manner.
Values used above are based on analysis of waste
from similar livestock operations in North Carolina
(source: USDA-NRCS FOTG Practice Standard 633-Waste
Utilization) . Actual nutrient content of the waste
from this system may vary from these values . Waste
analysis should be made of the actual waste as soon
as possible after significant waste accumulates in
the storage structure (s) .
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.
6

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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 amount should not exceed the available water holding
capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor 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.

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.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
Mr. Smith houses 900 stockers in open feedlots above the concrete
runoff collection alley. The runoff collection is stored in an
existing waste storage pond. Liquid is irrigated on hybrid bermuda
grass or ryegrass & small grain overseeded in bermuda grass. The
remaining volume is hauled to other fields using a 1500 gallon tank.
Runoff from feedlots located above an existing waste storage pond will
be collected by concrete alley diversion. The alley may allow some
settling of sand and silt before water reaches pipe that transfers
runoff to pond. This alley will be periodically scraped to remove
solids and delivered to the fields to be distributed to crops.
Clean water is diverted from the feedlot and waste storage pond
to the fullest extent possible. Diversions and guttering are used
where practical .

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
FIELD OFFICE INSTRUCTIONS
1. The waste utilization plan will include all the animal waste generated on the farm.
2. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must be maintained below the
maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event
in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
19

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.
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 lone 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. (See 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
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"in the Technical Reference-Environment file for euidance.)
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.
20

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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. hijecting 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.
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.
21

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed area:
(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 regula
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 o:
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.
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 record,,
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.

WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
I . Waste Production
Mr. Smith plans to house a maximum of 900 stockers . 770
stockers will be housed in open feedlots above the concrete
runoff collection alley on east side of road.
An existing feed lot at end of road for 130 stockers
will be removed from the operation. The 130 stockers will be
housed on new concrete feed alley, lot, and pastures on west
side of road above the waste storage pond. The runoff
collected will be stored in an existing waste storage pond.
Manure solids will be collected in feed alleys and holding
pins .
Mr. Smith uses rotational grazing to the fullest extent
possible. He manages Bermuda grass and tall fescue . Brown
top millet and wheat are over seeded into the grass pastures
during dormant periods for each grass .
II . Waste Management Objective
A system will be planned to economically as possible
handle all the problems described above in a manner that
does not degrade air, soil or water resources . The system
planned will prevent discharge of pollutants to surface and
ground water by recycling waste through soil and plants .
The following design and plans will be required:
A. Waste Storage Pond for Lot Runoff
Runoff from feedlots located on east side of road above
an existing waste storage pond will be collected by a
concrete alley-diversion. The alley may allow some settling
of sand and silt before water reaches pipe that transfers
runoff to pond. Runoff from the feed lots on the west side
of road will be collected at end of feed alley and piped to
waste storage pond.
The waste pond is located over 100 ft . from the nearest
well .
B. Manure Storage
On the east side of the road manure will be stored on
concrete lots as needed. On the west side of road the
concrete storage area will be constructed to hold
approximately three months of manure storage accumulations.

C. Clean Water Exclusion
Clean water will be excluded from the feedlot and waste
storage pond to the fullest extent possible . Diversions and
guttering will be used where practical .
D. Vegetated Filter Areas
Livestock are fenced out of waste storage pond and
filter areas .
100 ft . of vegetative filter area will be maintained
below lounging areas by excluding livestock.
The filter areas will infiltrate part of the first
flush and filter sediment and organic particles . Grazing
will be limited to these areas in order to maintain a good
vegetated sod.
E. Waste Utilization
Sufficient land shall be available to properly spread
waste at locations, times, volumes, and rates that maintains
air, soil and water resources . Waste applications will be
based on soil and waste analysis . A waste utilization plan
will be prepared.
F. operation and Maintenance Plan
The owner shall be responsible for operating and
maintaining the system. An operation plan will be prepared.

III . Waste Storage Pond for Polluted Runoff
A. Design Volumes

D. Pump-out Elevation and ESW Elevation
The waste storage pond for runoff should be irrigated
before the water level reaches the 25 yr - 24 hr storage
volume . This elevation is 1 . 9 ft below the emergency
spillway. The emergency spillway elevation is planned 1 . 0
foot below the top of dam.
IV. Lounging Areas and Filter Areas
Runoff from lounging areas will be directed across well
maintained grass sods . Lounging areas will be located to
provide the maximum grass filter possible . 100' of grass
filter will be maintained bare lounging area and drainage
ways . Swells or diversions shall be constructed and
maintained along fence lines to kick water into filters at
frequent intervals .

V. Manure Storage for West Side Feed Alley
Approximately three months of storage is needed for
manure accumulations in the feed alley. Liquid drainage will
be collected in the waste storage pond. It is estimated that
35% of the manure will be collected on the paved surface and
30% will be collected on the unpaved surface .
Volume of storage
130 stockers * 28 cu ft/head/3 months * 35% + 130 stockers
* 30 cu ft/head/5 months * 3 months * 30%
= 1, 976 cu ft/3 months
Storage depth will be two feet .
Size of storage = 25 ft * 40 ft * 2 ft = 2 , 000 cu ft
VI . Clean Water Exclusion
A. Diversions
Clean water diversions will be constructed around
feedlots . The District Conservationist will design all
diversions . Diversions shall be designed to carry the 25
year - 24 hour runoff plus capacity to store 1 foot of
sediment .
B . Guttering
Clean water shall be excluded to the fullest extent
possible by guttering.
VII . Waste Utilization Plan Data
A. Management Facts (manure)
Estimate for manure collected and spread for beef paved
and unpaved feedlot manure is found in waste utilization
standard. Estimate for the feedlots is made below. Normal
stocker numbers varies yearly. The estimated cattle numbers
are plotted on the attached graph for the feedlots on the
east and west side of road. On the east side of road an
estimated a yearly average of 514 stockers are housed. On
the west side of road a yearly average of 130 stockers are
housed. A total of 644 stockers will be used in the yearly
average for computing waste accumulations . The plan is for
a maximum of 900 stockers at full capacity.
Stockers are grazed some during the year.
Approximately 25% of the waste will be deposited on the
pasture . It is estimated that 10% of the waste will be

collected in the waste storage pond in runoff . In the
feedlot area approximately 35% of the waste will be
collected on the paved surfaces and 30% will be collected on
unpaved surfaces .
Estimated quantity of manure collected on feedlots
Unpaved Quantity of manure
= 644 stockers * 30 cu ft/head/5 months * 12 months * 30%
= 13 , 910 cu ft @ 45 lb/cu ft = 313 tons
Paved Quantity of manure
= 644 stockers * 28 cu ft/head/3 months * 12 months * 35%
= 25, 245 cu ft @ 60 lb/cu ft = 757 tons
Total quantity/year = 1070 tons/year
Waste water from runoff collection alley will be stored
in the waste storage pond. During the course of one year,
the waste storage pond will store the following amount of
waste.
Waste Storage Pond 2 , 100, 000 gallons/year
77 . 3 ac-in
Approximately 10% of the manure nutrients will be
collected in the waste storage pond. Estimated N, PAN in
waste pond is equal :
= 644 head * 22 lbs N (PAN) /head/year *10% = 1, 417 lbs/yr
Estimated nutrient concentration
= 1, 417 lbs/2, 100, 000 gals = . 68 lbs N (PAN) /1000 gals
= 18 .2 lbs N (PAN) /ac-in
B. Management Facts (Filter Areas)
Runoff from heavy use areas and lounging areas will be
diverted through grass filter areas . Grass sods will be
maintained all year round. These areas maybe controlled
grazed in late spring and early fall when ground is dry.
Weeds may require chemical control or periodic bush hogging.
Grass filters 100 ' from the edge of drains will be fenced
and maintained in a good grass sod.

C. Nutrient Production
Manure application shall be based on actual soil test
and manure analysis .
a. Manure collected on Feedlot
Values for paved and unpaved manure collection are averaged
in table below since approximately equal volumes will be
collected from each surface .

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
This Animal Waste Management System consists of the following major
components:
1. WASTE STORAGE POND
2. WASTE IRRIGATION EQUIPMENT
3. WASTE HAULING EQUIPMENT
4. CLEAN WATER COLLECTION AND PIPING SYSTEM
5. FILTER AREA FOR LOUNGING AREAS
6. MANURE STORAGE FACILITY
and the following associated components
7. VEGETATED DIVERSION
8. LIVESTOCK EXCLUSION
9. FILTER AREA PLANTING
10. STOCK TRAILS
Runoff from the lots and freestall barns is stored in the WASTE STORAGE
POND. Waste is irrigated from the WASTE STORAGE POND and spread at
agronomic rates. The WASTE STORAGE POND is designed to provide runoff
storage from the feedlots.
The waste storage pond is designed to provide storage for normal runoff from
the drainage area and provide storage space for the twenty-five (25) year,
twenty-four (24) hour storm runoff from the drainage area.
This Animal Waste Management System is designed to prevent discharge of
Animal Waste Contaminates to surface waters from the twenty-five (25) year,
twenty-four (24) hour storm, as required under the Non-discharge regulations.

1. WASTE STORAGE POND
OVERVIEW
The WASTE STORAGE POND is designed to store runoff with some manure.
Additional storage space is included to contain the twenty-five (25) year, twenty-
four (24) hour storm runoff from the feedlot. A post will be installed with the level
of the top of post indicating the level of storage available prior to infringing on the
25 year, 24 hour storm capacity. The WASTE STORAGE POND consists of
earthen dam and concrete chute for discharging contaminated water and
manure into the structure. The maximum storage level below the emergency
spillway elevation is shown below for the pond. The design storage period is
also shown.
Max. level below ESW Design Storage Period
Waste Pond 1.9 365 days
OPERATION
The service life of the WASTE STORAGE POND will be determined by the level
of management for the entire system. Once the manure and bedding materials
have reached the WASTE STORAGE POND, how effectively the waste is
agitated will determine the amount of solids which remain in the WASTE
STORAGE POND.
Over time it is expected that some solids will accumulate in the WASTE
STORAGE POND. Poor management will result in the rapid accumulation of
solids, which will reduce the usable capacity of the WASTE STORAGE POND to
the point that some form of dredging will be required. If a large volume of solid
waste is allowed to wash from the lot and/or if inadequate agitation is performed,
this dredging operation could be required in a very short period of time.
MAINTENANCE
The concrete in the WASTE STORAGE POND should be inspected periodically
for major cracks. Vegetation on the dam should be inspected periodically and
reseeded as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. The dam should be mowed
at least annually to prevent woody growth. Mowing operations must take place
only when the soil of the dam is dry, and vegetation should not be mowed to a
height of less than four (4) inches at any time. See FILTER AREA PLANTING
for further maintenance requirements. Any evidence of sloughing or seepage
should be reported to the Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District office.

2. WASTE IRRIGATION EQUIPMENT
OVERVIEW
Waste handling equipment for waste pond consists of irrigation equipment. The
Waste Storage Pond is agitated prior to irrigating waste. Sand/Manure
accumulations will be removed from pond by mechanical loading on side slinger
manure spreaders and spread on application areas.
OPERATION
Waste spreading should be initiated prior to the liquid level reaching the full
storage level marker in the waste storage pond. When the liquid level in the
waste storage pond reaches the marker, liquids must be removed. Do not
spread in such a manner as to cause runoff or erosion. Do not spread on frozen
or saturated soils.
The initial step in each spreading operation is to properly agitate the waste in the
waste storage pond.
MAINTENANCE
Soil tests the application fields annually. Vegetation in the fields should be
inspected periodically and reseeded as needed to insure a vigorous stand.
Fields may also need to be limed and fertilized annually.
3. WASTE HAULING EQUIPMENT
OVERVIEW
The waste hauling equipment consists of solid manure spreader. The spreader
is loaded with front end loader. Manure accumulations will be removed from the
feedlots by mechanical loading on solid manure spreader and spread on
application areas.
OPERATION
Manure hauling should be initiated when field conditions are suitable for
spreading manure.
MAINTENANCE
Soil tests the application fields annually. Vegetation in the fields should be
inspected periodically and reseeded as needed to insure a vigorous stand.
Fields may also need to be limed and fertilized annually.
5

4. CLEAN WATER COLLECTION AND PIPING SYSTEM
OVERVIEW
Clean water collection and piping consists of piping clean water under stock trails
and diverting clean water around lounging and feedlot areas and waste storage
pond.
MAINTENANCE
Inspect the components of the CLEAN WATER COLLECTION AND PIPING
SYSTEM annually for cracks or other damage, and make repairs or replace as
needed. Inspect annually and remove accumulated sediment.
5. MANURE STORAGE FACILITY
OVERVIEW
A manure storage facility is located at feed alley on west side of road. Manure
storage is stored within the feedlot area on the east side of road. All liquid
drainage is directed to the waste storage pond.
MAINTENANCE
The concrete should be inspected periodically for major cracks.
6

6. VEGETATED DIVERSION
OVERVIEW
VEGETATED DIVERSIONS are located above the WASTE STORAGE POND
and will convey non-contaminated runoff around the structure. Diversions will
also be located around the feed areas to divert clean water.
MAINTENANCE
The vegetation in the diversion should be inspected periodically and reseeded as
needed to insure a vigorous stand. It is essential that neither vehicles nor
livestock be allowed to create travel lanes within the diversion. The diversion
should be mowed at least annually to prevent woody growth. The diversion may
be control grazed or mowed for hay. Grazing and mowing operations must take
place only when the soils are dry, and vegetation should not be grazed or mowed
to a height of less than four (4) inches. If sedimentation has reduced the
capacity of the channel, contact the Lincoln Soil and Water Conservation District
for technical assistance in correcting this problem. See FILTER AREA
PLANTING for further maintenance requirements.
7. LIVESTOCK EXCLUSION
OVERVIEW
LIVESTOCK EXCLUSION is installed at locations as indicated on plan maps.
MAINTENANCE
Inspect the LIVESTOCK EXCLUSION periodically for mechanical damage or rot.
If fencing wire becomes loose, re-tighten. If fence posts are rotted or damaged
in any way, replace damaged posts.

8. FILTER AREA PLANTING
OVERVIEW
FILTER AREA PLANTING applies to seeding 100' of grass below the lounging
areas and seeding diversions.
MAINTENANCE
Soil samples should be taken at least once per year. Fertilizer and lime should
be applied at the rates recommended as a result of the soil test. Fertilizer and
lime should be applied either during September-October or February-March.
Vegetation should be inspected periodically and reseeded as needed to insure a
vigorous stand.
The filter area may be control grazed or mowed for hay. Grazing and mowing
operations must take place only when the soils are dry, and vegetation should
not be grazed or mowed to a height of less than four (4) inches. All FILTER
AREA PLANTING should be mowed at least annually to prevent woody growth.
Mowing operations must take place only when the soil is dry and vegetation
should not be mowed to a height of less than four (4) inches at any time. Do not
mow cool season grasses during periods when plants are showing signs of
drought stress.
The number of cattle allowed on lounging area/pastures is critical to success of
the filter areas. Cattle housed exclusively on pasture should be limited to a lower
stocking rate during wet winter months. A stocking rate of 4 cows per acre
during the winter is suggested as an acceptable rate. Actual stocking rate
should be based on how well vegetation is maintained in pasture especially near
drainage ways.
s

9. STOCK TRAILS
OVERVIEW
Stock trails are located as indicated on plan maps.
MAINTENANCE
Inspect the stock trails periodically for damage and wear. If gravel layer
becomes thin, gravel shall be replaced to maintain a minimum of 4" of cover over
the filter cloth. Manure accumulations in broad-based dips on stock trail shall be
removed at regular intervals to prevent overtopping.
GENERAL COMMENTS
PESTICIDE USE
Extreme care should be exercised with the use of all herbicides so that desirable
vegetation, especially that of the filter area, diversion and dam, is not adversely
affected. It is a violation of law to use any pesticide in a manner not permitted by
its labeling. To protect yourself, never apply any pesticide in a manner or for a
purpose other than as instructed on the label or in labeling accompanying the
pesticide product that you purchase. Do not ignore the instructions for use of
protective clothing and devices and for storage and disposal of pesticide wastes,
including containers.
REPAIRS
Notify the Lincoln Soil and Water conservation District if repairs or major
modifications are required for any of the components of this Waste Management
System.
Additional Considerations and Requirements
1 . The collection, treatment and storage facilities shall be properly
maintained and operated at all times; this also includes the land
application equipment and sites.
2. A suitable vegetative cover shall be maintained on all land application
sites and buffers in accordance with the Waste Utilization Plan. No waste
may be applied on fields not approved by or prepared in accordance with
the Waste Utilization Plan.
9

3. An acceptable pH of the soil shall be maintained on all land application
sites to insure an optimum yield for the crop(s) being grown.
4. The plant available nitrogen (PAN) application rates and hydraulic loading
rates identified in the Waste Utilization Plan shall not be exceeded.
5. Application of animal waste on land which is used to grow crops for direct
human consumption (e.g., strawberries, melons, lettuce, cabbage, etc.)
shall not occur within 30 days prior to or during the planting of the crop or
at any time during the growing season, or in the case of fruit bearing
trees, 30 days prior to breaking dormancy. For fiber and food crops,
which undergo further processing, application of animal waste shall not
occur within 30 days of harvesting. If waste is to be applied to bare soil,
the waste shall be incorporated into the soil within 24 hours after the
application on land.
6. Domestic wastewater from showers, toilets, etc. shall not be discharged
into the animal waste management system. Wash vats required to be
connected to the animal waste management system by the Grade A
Pasteurized Milk Ordinance Part 11, Section 7, Item 5r are exempt from
this requirement. Wash-down of stock trailers owned by and used on the
dairy only will be permissible as long as the design accommodates the
additional wastewater and as long as detergents and disinfectants are
used which have been labeled as readily biodegradable by the
manufacturer.
7. Disposal of dead animals shall be done in accordance with the North
Carolina Department of Agriculture (NCDA) regulations and the Waste
Utilization Plan.
8. Grazing of animals on application sites shall be controlled in accordance
with USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service Standards.
9. Solid materials such as, but not limited to, bottles, gloves, syringes, silo
covers or any other solid waste from the dairy operation shall be
prevented from entering the waste management system and shall be
disposed of properly.
10. The facility must have either adequate animal waste application and
handling equipment on site, a lease for the use of necessary equipment, a
contract with a third party applicator or a contract for the purchase of the
equipment. In all cases, the equipment must be capable of applying the
waste on sites specified in the Waste Utilization Plan and at rates not to
exceed agronomic and hydraulic loading for the sites.
10

11. Animal waste shall not be applied to wetlands or surface water or shall not
reach wetlands or surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances (pipes or ditches), direct application, or direct discharge
during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste, which
reaches surface water, is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to the
assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day per violation by the
Division of Water Quality for every day the discharge continues.
12. Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding at less than 5 tons per
acres 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.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events,
or when the soil surface is frozen. When animal waste is to be applied on
acres subject 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.
14. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water.
This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided
adequate vegetative filter strips are present.
15. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
16. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet to dwellings other
than those owned by the landowner.
17. Waste shall not be applied on other property or public right-of-ways.
18. Animal waste applied on grassed waterways shall be at agronomic rates
and in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
19. 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 excess levels. Soil test and waste analysis records shall
be kept for 5 years.
20. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration
rate. No ponding shall occur.
21. Records of waste application shall be maintained to establish actual
application rates. The records will include date of application, amount of
11

waste applied per acre by tract number and field number, most recent
waste analysis and soil test report, and the realistic yield expectation
(RYE) nitrogen rate. Waste application records shall be maintained for 5
years.
22. Proper calibration of application equipment should be done to ensure
uniformity and accuracy of spreading rates.
23. Animal waste should 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 be
considered also.
24. It is the responsibility of the owner of the dairy to secure an update of the
waste utilization plan when there is a change in the operation, number of
animals (increase), method of utilization or available land.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: Lewis Eddie Smith
Location: 1090 Smith Family Lane, Lincolnton NC 28092
Telephone: (704) 735-8158
Type Operation: Beef :Stockers
Number of Animals: 900 average weight 550 lbs
(Design Capacity)
Storage Structure (s) : Waste Storage Pond
Application Method(s) : Irrigation and Solid Manure Spreader
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 . 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.
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.

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.
S . 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 irrigation and solid manure
spreader for this is the manner in which you have chosen to apply your
waste. If you choose to alter the method(s) of application in the
future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for various
waste application methods are not the same .
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 lagoon is designed for 365 days of temporary storage and the
temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every
12 MONTHS. 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.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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.

Amount of Waste Produced Per Year
Feedlot above Runoff Collection Alley
Estimate for manure collected and spread for beef paved and unpaved feedlot
manure is found in waste utilization standard. Estimate for the feedlots is
made below. Normal stocker numbers varies yearly. A total of 644 stockers
will be used in the yearly average for computing waste accumulations . The
plan is for a total of 900 stockers at full capacity.
Stockers are grazed some during the year. Approximately 25% of the waste will
be deposited on the pasture. It is estimated that 10% of the waste will be
collected in the waste storage pond in runoff. In the feedlot area
approximately 35% of the waste will be collected on the paved surfaces and
30% will be collected on unpaved surfaces.
Estimated quantity of manure collected on feedlots .
Unpaved quantity of manure
= 644 stockers * 30 cu ft/head/5 months * 12 months * 30%
= 13 , 910 cu ft @ 45 lb/cu ft = 313 tons
Paved quantity of manure
= 644 stockers * 28 cu ft/head/3 months * 12 months * 35%
= 25, 245 cu ft @ 60 lb/cu ft = 757 tons
Total quantity/year = 1070 tons/year
Waste water from runoff collection alley will be stored in the wste sorage
pond. During the course of one year, the waste storage pond will sore the
following amount of waste.

Applying the above amount of waste as calculated above is a big job.
You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste
in a timely manner.
Values used above are based on analysis of waste
from similar livestock operations in North Carolina
(source: USDA-NRCS FOTG Practice Standard 633-Waste
Utilization) . Actual nutrient content of the waste
from this system may vary from these values . Waste
analysis should be made of the actual waste as soon
as possible after significant waste accumulates in
the storage structure (s) .
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.
6

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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 amount should not exceed the available water holding
capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor 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.

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.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
NARRATIVE OF OPERATION
Mr. Smith houses 900 stockers in open feedlots above the concrete
runoff collection alley. The runoff collection is stored in an
existing waste storage pond. Liquid is irrigated on hybrid bermuda
grass or ryegrass & small grain overseeded in bermuda grass. The
remaining volume is hauled to other fields using a 1500 gallon tank.
Runoff from feedlots located above an existing waste storage pond will
be collected by concrete alley diversion. The alley may allow some
settling of sand and silt before water reaches pipe that transfers
runoff to pond. This alley will be periodically scraped to remove
solids and delivered to the fields to be distributed to crops.
Clean water is diverted from the feedlot and waste storage pond
to the fullest extent possible. Diversions and guttering are used
where practical .

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
FIELD OFFICE INSTRUCTIONS
1. The waste utilization plan will include all the animal waste generated on the farm.
2. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must be maintained below the
maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event
in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
19

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.
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 lone 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. (See 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
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"in the Technical Reference-Environment file for euidance.)
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.
20

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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. hijecting 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.
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.
21

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed area:
(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 regula
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 o:
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.
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 record,,
shall be maintained for three (3) years. Waste application records for all other waste
shall be maintained for five (5)years.

WASTE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
I . Waste Production
Mr. Smith plans to house a maximum of 900 stockers . 770
stockers will be housed in open feedlots above the concrete
runoff collection alley on east side of road.
An existing feed lot at end of road for 130 stockers
will be removed from the operation. The 130 stockers will be
housed on new concrete feed alley, lot, and pastures on west
side of road above the waste storage pond. The runoff
collected will be stored in an existing waste storage pond.
Manure solids will be collected in feed alleys and holding
pins .
Mr. Smith uses rotational grazing to the fullest extent
possible. He manages Bermuda grass and tall fescue . Brown
top millet and wheat are over seeded into the grass pastures
during dormant periods for each grass .
II . Waste Management Objective
A system will be planned to economically as possible
handle all the problems described above in a manner that
does not degrade air, soil or water resources . The system
planned will prevent discharge of pollutants to surface and
ground water by recycling waste through soil and plants .
The following design and plans will be required:
A. Waste Storage Pond for Lot Runoff
Runoff from feedlots located on east side of road above
an existing waste storage pond will be collected by a
concrete alley-diversion. The alley may allow some settling
of sand and silt before water reaches pipe that transfers
runoff to pond. Runoff from the feed lots on the west side
of road will be collected at end of feed alley and piped to
waste storage pond.
The waste pond is located over 100 ft . from the nearest
well .
B. Manure Storage
On the east side of the road manure will be stored on
concrete lots as needed. On the west side of road the
concrete storage area will be constructed to hold
approximately three months of manure storage accumulations.

C. Clean Water Exclusion
Clean water will be excluded from the feedlot and waste
storage pond to the fullest extent possible . Diversions and
guttering will be used where practical .
D. Vegetated Filter Areas
Livestock are fenced out of waste storage pond and
filter areas .
100 ft . of vegetative filter area will be maintained
below lounging areas by excluding livestock.
The filter areas will infiltrate part of the first
flush and filter sediment and organic particles . Grazing
will be limited to these areas in order to maintain a good
vegetated sod.
E. Waste Utilization
Sufficient land shall be available to properly spread
waste at locations, times, volumes, and rates that maintains
air, soil and water resources . Waste applications will be
based on soil and waste analysis . A waste utilization plan
will be prepared.
F. operation and Maintenance Plan
The owner shall be responsible for operating and
maintaining the system. An operation plan will be prepared.

III . Waste Storage Pond for Polluted Runoff
A. Design Volumes

6 . Solids Accumulation
Solids are expected to accumulate in waste storage
pond. The amount collected maybe reduced significantly by
keeping concrete channel clean. Considerable storage volume
is available for solids . See computations below.
7 . Volume of Waste
Stocker Calves
A maximum of 900 stocker calves will be housed in the
feedlots . It is estimated that 10% of the manure produced
will be collected in the waste storage pond. The other 90%
will be deposited within the feedlot area .

C. Checking Size of Waste Storage Pond
This is an existing waste pond. As Built information show a
waste pond that is 15 . 9' deep. For these calculations, a
pond 15' deep will be used.
2 . 5'
2 . 5 : 1 12 . 5' 2 . 5 : 1

Volume = 12 . 5/6 [130*155 + 192 . 5 * 217 . 5 + 4 (161 . 3 * 186 . 3) ]
= 379, 623 cu ft
This is ok. With one year of storage, approximately 86, 000
cu ft was available for solids accumulations
Normal Pump Out Volume each Year
128, 311 + 85, 547 + 19, 763 + 1 . 0 ' X 205 ' X 230 '
= 280, 771 cu ft per 365 days
= 2 , 100 , 000 gallons per year
= 77 . 3 ac-in per year
Maximum Storage Level from Emergency Spillway Level
. 5 ' + 57, 457 cu ft/ (195 ' X 2201 )
= 1 . 9 ft
D. Pump-out Elevation and ESW Elevation
The waste storage pond for runoff should be irrigated
before the water level reaches the 25 yr - 24 hr storage
volume . This elevation is 1 . 9 ft below the emergency
spillway. The emergency spillway elevation is planned 1 . 0
foot below the top of dam.
IV. Lounging Areas and Filter Areas
Runoff from lounging areas will be directed across well
maintained grass sods . Lounging areas will be located to
provide the maximum grass filter possible . 100' of grass
filter will be maintained bare lounging area and drainage
ways . Swells or diversions shall be constructed and
maintained along fence lines to kick water into filters at
frequent intervals .

V. Manure Storage for West Side Feed Alley
Approximately three months of storage is needed for
manure accumulations in the feed alley. Liquid drainage will
be collected in the waste storage pond. It is estimated that
35% of the manure will be collected on the paved surface and
30% will be collected on the unpaved surface .
Volume of storage
130 stockers * 28 cu ft/head/3 months * 35% + 130 stockers
* 30 cu ft/head/5 months * 3 months * 30%
= 1, 976 cu ft/3 months
Storage depth will be two feet .
Size of storage = 25 ft * 40 ft * 2 ft = 2 , 000 cu ft
VI . Clean Water Exclusion
A. Diversions
Clean water diversions will be constructed around
feedlots . The District Conservationist will design all
diversions . Diversions shall be designed to carry the 25
year - 24 hour runoff plus capacity to store 1 foot of
sediment .
B . Guttering
Clean water shall be excluded to the fullest extent
possible by guttering.
VII . Waste Utilization Plan Data
A. Management Facts (manure)
Estimate for manure collected and spread for beef paved
and unpaved feedlot manure is found in waste utilization
standard. Estimate for the feedlots is made below. Normal
stocker numbers varies yearly. The estimated cattle numbers
are plotted on the attached graph for the feedlots on the
east and west side of road. On the east side of road an
estimated a yearly average of 514 stockers are housed. On
the west side of road a yearly average of 130 stockers are
housed. A total of 644 stockers will be used in the yearly
average for computing waste accumulations . The plan is for
a maximum of 900 stockers at full capacity.
Stockers are grazed some during the year.
Approximately 25% of the waste will be deposited on the
pasture . It is estimated that 10% of the waste will be

collected in the waste storage pond in runoff . In the
feedlot area approximately 35% of the waste will be
collected on the paved surfaces and 30% will be collected on
unpaved surfaces .
Estimated quantity of manure collected on feedlots
Unpaved Quantity of manure
= 644 stockers * 30 cu ft/head/5 months * 12 months * 30%
= 13 , 910 cu ft @ 45 lb/cu ft = 313 tons
Paved Quantity of manure
= 644 stockers * 28 cu ft/head/3 months * 12 months * 35%
= 25, 245 cu ft @ 60 lb/cu ft = 757 tons
Total quantity/year = 1070 tons/year
Waste water from runoff collection alley will be stored
in the waste storage pond. During the course of one year,
the waste storage pond will store the following amount of
waste.
Waste Storage Pond 2 , 100, 000 gallons/year
77 . 3 ac-in
Approximately 10% of the manure nutrients will be
collected in the waste storage pond. Estimated N, PAN in
waste pond is equal :
= 644 head * 22 lbs N (PAN) /head/year *10% = 1, 417 lbs/yr
Estimated nutrient concentration
= 1, 417 lbs/2, 100, 000 gals = . 68 lbs N (PAN) /1000 gals
= 18 .2 lbs N (PAN) /ac-in
B. Management Facts (Filter Areas)
Runoff from heavy use areas and lounging areas will be
diverted through grass filter areas . Grass sods will be
maintained all year round. These areas maybe controlled
grazed in late spring and early fall when ground is dry.
Weeds may require chemical control or periodic bush hogging.
Grass filters 100 ' from the edge of drains will be fenced
and maintained in a good grass sod.

C. Nutrient Production
Manure application shall be based on actual soil test
and manure analysis .
a. Manure collected on Feedlot
Values for paved and unpaved manure collection are averaged
in table below since approximately equal volumes will be
collected from each surface .

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
This Animal Waste Management System consists of the following major
components:
1. WASTE STORAGE POND
2. WASTE IRRIGATION EQUIPMENT
3. WASTE HAULING EQUIPMENT
4. CLEAN WATER COLLECTION AND PIPING SYSTEM
5. FILTER AREA FOR LOUNGING AREAS
6. MANURE STORAGE FACILITY
and the following associated components
7. VEGETATED DIVERSION
8. LIVESTOCK EXCLUSION
9. FILTER AREA PLANTING
10. STOCK TRAILS
Runoff from the lots and freestall barns is stored in the WASTE STORAGE
POND. Waste is irrigated from the WASTE STORAGE POND and spread at
agronomic rates. The WASTE STORAGE POND is designed to provide runoff
storage from the feedlots.
The waste storage pond is designed to provide storage for normal runoff from
the drainage area and provide storage space for the twenty-five (25) year,
twenty-four (24) hour storm runoff from the drainage area.
This Animal Waste Management System is designed to prevent discharge of
Animal Waste Contaminates to surface waters from the twenty-five (25) year,
twenty-four (24) hour storm, as required under the Non-discharge regulations.
3

1. WASTE STORAGE POND
OVERVIEW
The WASTE STORAGE POND is designed to store runoff with some manure.
Additional storage space is included to contain the twenty-five (25) year, twenty-
four (24) hour storm runoff from the feedlot. A post will be installed with the level
of the top of post indicating the level of storage available prior to infringing on the
25 year, 24 hour storm capacity. The WASTE STORAGE POND consists of
earthen dam and concrete chute for discharging contaminated water and
manure into the structure. The maximum storage level below the emergency
spillway elevation is shown below for the pond. The design storage period is
also shown.
Max. level below ESW Design Storage Period
Waste Pond 1.9 365 days
OPERATION
The service life of the WASTE STORAGE POND will be determined by the level
of management for the entire system. Once the manure and bedding materials
have reached the WASTE STORAGE POND, how effectively the waste is
agitated will determine the amount of solids which remain in the WASTE
STORAGE POND.
Over time it is expected that some solids will accumulate in the WASTE
STORAGE POND. Poor management will result in the rapid accumulation of
solids, which will reduce the usable capacity of the WASTE STORAGE POND to
the point that some form of dredging will be required. If a large volume of solid
waste is allowed to wash from the lot and/or if inadequate agitation is performed,
this dredging operation could be required in a very short period of time.
MAINTENANCE
The concrete in the WASTE STORAGE POND should be inspected periodically
for major cracks. Vegetation on the dam should be inspected periodically and
reseeded as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. The dam should be mowed
at least annually to prevent woody growth. Mowing operations must take place
only when the soil of the dam is dry, and vegetation should not be mowed to a
height of less than four (4) inches at any time. See FILTER AREA PLANTING
for further maintenance requirements. Any evidence of sloughing or seepage
should be reported to the Lincoln Soil & Water Conservation District office.

2. WASTE IRRIGATION EQUIPMENT
OVERVIEW
Waste handling equipment for waste pond consists of irrigation equipment. The
Waste Storage Pond is agitated prior to irrigating waste. Sand/Manure
accumulations will be removed from pond by mechanical loading on side slinger
manure spreaders and spread on application areas.
OPERATION
Waste spreading should be initiated prior to the liquid level reaching the full
storage level marker in the waste storage pond. When the liquid level in the
waste storage pond reaches the marker, liquids must be removed. Do not
spread in such a manner as to cause runoff or erosion. Do not spread on frozen
or saturated soils.
The initial step in each spreading operation is to properly agitate the waste in the
waste storage pond.
MAINTENANCE
Soil tests the application fields annually. Vegetation in the fields should be
inspected periodically and reseeded as needed to insure a vigorous stand.
Fields may also need to be limed and fertilized annually.
3. WASTE HAULING EQUIPMENT
OVERVIEW
The waste hauling equipment consists of solid manure spreader. The spreader
is loaded with front end loader. Manure accumulations will be removed from the
feedlots by mechanical loading on solid manure spreader and spread on
application areas.
OPERATION
Manure hauling should be initiated when field conditions are suitable for
spreading manure.
MAINTENANCE
Soil tests the application fields annually. Vegetation in the fields should be
inspected periodically and reseeded as needed to insure a vigorous stand.
Fields may also need to be limed and fertilized annually.
5

4. CLEAN WATER COLLECTION AND PIPING SYSTEM
OVERVIEW
Clean water collection and piping consists of piping clean water under stock trails
and diverting clean water around lounging and feedlot areas and waste storage
pond.
MAINTENANCE
Inspect the components of the CLEAN WATER COLLECTION AND PIPING
SYSTEM annually for cracks or other damage, and make repairs or replace as
needed. Inspect annually and remove accumulated sediment.
5. MANURE STORAGE FACILITY
OVERVIEW
A manure storage facility is located at feed alley on west side of road. Manure
storage is stored within the feedlot area on the east side of road. All liquid
drainage is directed to the waste storage pond.
MAINTENANCE
The concrete should be inspected periodically for major cracks.
6

6. VEGETATED DIVERSION
OVERVIEW
VEGETATED DIVERSIONS are located above the WASTE STORAGE POND
and will convey non-contaminated runoff around the structure. Diversions will
also be located around the feed areas to divert clean water.
MAINTENANCE
The vegetation in the diversion should be inspected periodically and reseeded as
needed to insure a vigorous stand. It is essential that neither vehicles nor
livestock be allowed to create travel lanes within the diversion. The diversion
should be mowed at least annually to prevent woody growth. The diversion may
be control grazed or mowed for hay. Grazing and mowing operations must take
place only when the soils are dry, and vegetation should not be grazed or mowed
to a height of less than four (4) inches. If sedimentation has reduced the
capacity of the channel, contact the Lincoln Soil and Water Conservation District
for technical assistance in correcting this problem. See FILTER AREA
PLANTING for further maintenance requirements.
7. LIVESTOCK EXCLUSION
OVERVIEW
LIVESTOCK EXCLUSION is installed at locations as indicated on plan maps.
MAINTENANCE
Inspect the LIVESTOCK EXCLUSION periodically for mechanical damage or rot.
If fencing wire becomes loose, re-tighten. If fence posts are rotted or damaged
in any way, replace damaged posts.

8. FILTER AREA PLANTING
OVERVIEW
FILTER AREA PLANTING applies to seeding 100' of grass below the lounging
areas and seeding diversions.
MAINTENANCE
Soil samples should be taken at least once per year. Fertilizer and lime should
be applied at the rates recommended as a result of the soil test. Fertilizer and
lime should be applied either during September-October or February-March.
Vegetation should be inspected periodically and reseeded as needed to insure a
vigorous stand.
The filter area may be control grazed or mowed for hay. Grazing and mowing
operations must take place only when the soils are dry, and vegetation should
not be grazed or mowed to a height of less than four (4) inches. All FILTER
AREA PLANTING should be mowed at least annually to prevent woody growth.
Mowing operations must take place only when the soil is dry and vegetation
should not be mowed to a height of less than four (4) inches at any time. Do not
mow cool season grasses during periods when plants are showing signs of
drought stress.
The number of cattle allowed on lounging area/pastures is critical to success of
the filter areas. Cattle housed exclusively on pasture should be limited to a lower
stocking rate during wet winter months. A stocking rate of 4 cows per acre
during the winter is suggested as an acceptable rate. Actual stocking rate
should be based on how well vegetation is maintained in pasture especially near
drainage ways.
s

9. STOCK TRAILS
OVERVIEW
Stock trails are located as indicated on plan maps.
MAINTENANCE
Inspect the stock trails periodically for damage and wear. If gravel layer
becomes thin, gravel shall be replaced to maintain a minimum of 4" of cover over
the filter cloth. Manure accumulations in broad-based dips on stock trail shall be
removed at regular intervals to prevent overtopping.
GENERAL COMMENTS
PESTICIDE USE
Extreme care should be exercised with the use of all herbicides so that desirable
vegetation, especially that of the filter area, diversion and dam, is not adversely
affected. It is a violation of law to use any pesticide in a manner not permitted by
its labeling. To protect yourself, never apply any pesticide in a manner or for a
purpose other than as instructed on the label or in labeling accompanying the
pesticide product that you purchase. Do not ignore the instructions for use of
protective clothing and devices and for storage and disposal of pesticide wastes,
including containers.
REPAIRS
Notify the Lincoln Soil and Water conservation District if repairs or major
modifications are required for any of the components of this Waste Management
System.
Additional Considerations and Requirements
1 . The collection, treatment and storage facilities shall be properly
maintained and operated at all times; this also includes the land
application equipment and sites.
2. A suitable vegetative cover shall be maintained on all land application
sites and buffers in accordance with the Waste Utilization Plan. No waste
may be applied on fields not approved by or prepared in accordance with
the Waste Utilization Plan.
9

3. An acceptable pH of the soil shall be maintained on all land application
sites to insure an optimum yield for the crop(s) being grown.
4. The plant available nitrogen (PAN) application rates and hydraulic loading
rates identified in the Waste Utilization Plan shall not be exceeded.
5. Application of animal waste on land which is used to grow crops for direct
human consumption (e.g., strawberries, melons, lettuce, cabbage, etc.)
shall not occur within 30 days prior to or during the planting of the crop or
at any time during the growing season, or in the case of fruit bearing
trees, 30 days prior to breaking dormancy. For fiber and food crops,
which undergo further processing, application of animal waste shall not
occur within 30 days of harvesting. If waste is to be applied to bare soil,
the waste shall be incorporated into the soil within 24 hours after the
application on land.
6. Domestic wastewater from showers, toilets, etc. shall not be discharged
into the animal waste management system. Wash vats required to be
connected to the animal waste management system by the Grade A
Pasteurized Milk Ordinance Part 11, Section 7, Item 5r are exempt from
this requirement. Wash-down of stock trailers owned by and used on the
dairy only will be permissible as long as the design accommodates the
additional wastewater and as long as detergents and disinfectants are
used which have been labeled as readily biodegradable by the
manufacturer.
7. Disposal of dead animals shall be done in accordance with the North
Carolina Department of Agriculture (NCDA) regulations and the Waste
Utilization Plan.
8. Grazing of animals on application sites shall be controlled in accordance
with USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service Standards.
9. Solid materials such as, but not limited to, bottles, gloves, syringes, silo
covers or any other solid waste from the dairy operation shall be
prevented from entering the waste management system and shall be
disposed of properly.
10. The facility must have either adequate animal waste application and
handling equipment on site, a lease for the use of necessary equipment, a
contract with a third party applicator or a contract for the purchase of the
equipment. In all cases, the equipment must be capable of applying the
waste on sites specified in the Waste Utilization Plan and at rates not to
exceed agronomic and hydraulic loading for the sites.
10

11. Animal waste shall not be applied to wetlands or surface water or shall not
reach wetlands or surface waters of the state by runoff, drift, manmade
conveyances (pipes or ditches), direct application, or direct discharge
during operation or land application. Any discharge of waste, which
reaches surface water, is prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to the
assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day per violation by the
Division of Water Quality for every day the discharge continues.
12. Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding at less than 5 tons per
acres 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.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events,
or when the soil surface is frozen. When animal waste is to be applied on
acres subject 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.
14. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water.
This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided
adequate vegetative filter strips are present.
15. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
16. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet to dwellings other
than those owned by the landowner.
17. Waste shall not be applied on other property or public right-of-ways.
18. Animal waste applied on grassed waterways shall be at agronomic rates
and in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
19. 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 excess levels. Soil test and waste analysis records shall
be kept for 5 years.
20. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration
rate. No ponding shall occur.
21. Records of waste application shall be maintained to establish actual
application rates. The records will include date of application, amount of
11

waste applied per acre by tract number and field number, most recent
waste analysis and soil test report, and the realistic yield expectation
(RYE) nitrogen rate. Waste application records shall be maintained for 5
years.
22. Proper calibration of application equipment should be done to ensure
uniformity and accuracy of spreading rates.
23. Animal waste should 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 be
considered also.
24. It is the responsibility of the owner of the dairy to secure an update of the
waste utilization plan when there is a change in the operation, number of
animals (increase), method of utilization or available land.
