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

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage
capacity available at the end of each month of the plan. Available storage capacity is calculated as the
design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start
date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in
the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero.
Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design
storage capacity of the facility. If the available storage capacity is greater than the design storage
capacity,this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated.
If available storage capacity is negative,the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design
storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval
in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

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

Narrative
After running PLAT it was determined all fields were high. Please follow waste plan recommendations
as stated in this plan,recommendations are based on P uptake.A crop rotation of corn, wheat, soybeans
and orchid grass was included in the plan just in case they are used. It is likely,only orchid grass will be
used. Useable acres were taken from the prior waste plan. Please follow all set backs and rules.

The Required Soil Test Values shown in the following table provide a summary of recommended actions that should be taken if soil tests indicate
excessive levels of copper or zinc. Fields that receive manure must have an annual soil analysis for these elements. High levels of zinc and copper
can adversely affect plant growth. Alternative crop sites must be used when the concentration of these metals approach excessive levels. Site life can
be estimated by dividing the amount of copper and zinc to be applied in lbs/acre by 0.036 and 0.071,respectively and multiplying the result by 0.85.
By adding this quantity to the current soil index for copper or zinc, we can predict life of the site for waste disposal.
In addition to copper and zinc indices,this table also provides a summary of lime recommendations for each crop based on the most recent soil sample.
Application of lime at recommended rates is necessary to maintain soil pH in the optimum range for crop production .

The Nutrient Management Recommendations table shown below provides an annual summary of the nutrient
management plan developed for this operation. This table provides a nutrient balance for the listed fields and crops
for each year of the plan. Required nutrients are based on the realistic yields of the crops to be grown,their nutrient
requirements and soil test results. The quantity of nutrient supplied by each source is also identified.
The total quantity of nitrogen applied to each crop should not exceed the required amount. However, the quantity
of other nutrients applied may exceed their required amounts. This most commonly occurs when manure or other
byproducts are utilized to meet the nitrogen needs of the crop. Nutrient management plans may require that the
application of animal waste be limited so as to prevent over application of phosphorous when excessive levels of
this nutrient are detected in a field. In such situations,additional nitrogen applications from nonorganic sources
may be required to supply the recommended amounts of nitrogen.

Crop Notes
The following crop note applies to field(s): 14, 16,20,21
Corn CP,Organic Soils
In the Coastal Plain,corn is normally planted when soil temperatures reach 52 to 55 degrees fahrenheit.
Review the Official Variety"green book"and information from private companies to select a high
yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Plant 1-2" deep. Plant
populations should be determined by the hybrid being planted.Increase the seeding rate by 10%when
planting no-till. Phosphorus and potassium recommended by a soil test can be broadcast or banded at
planting.When planting early in cool,wet soil, banded phosphorus will be more available to the young
plants. An accepted practice is to apply 20-30 lbs/acre N and 20-301bs/acre phosphorus banded as a
starter and one-half the remaining N behind the planter.The rest of the N should be applied about 30-40
days after emergence.The total amount of N is dependent on soil type. When including a starter in the
fertilizer program,the recommended potassium and any additional phosphorus is normally broadcast at
planting. Plant samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status
of the corn.Timely management of weeds and insects are essential for corn production.
The following crop note applies to field(s): 14, 16,20, 21
Wheat: Coastal Plain,Organic Soils
In the Coastal Plain,wheat should be planted from October 20-November 25.Plant 22 seed/drill row foot
at 1-1 1/2"deep and increase the seeding rate by 5%for each week seeding is delayed beyond the
optimum time. See the seeding rates table for applicable seeding rate modifications in the current NCSU
"Small Grain Production Guide". Also, increase the initial seeding rate by at least 10%when planting
no-till.Adequate depth control when planting the wheat is essential.Review the NCSU Official Variety
"green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with the
characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Apply no more than 30 lbs/acre N at planting.
Phosphorus and potash recommended by a soil test report can also be applied at this time.The remaining
N should be applied during the months of February-March.The total N is dependent on the soil type.
Plant samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the nutrient status of the wheat.
Timely management of diseases,insects and weeds are essential for profitable wheat production.

Soybeans-Full Season,Coastal Plain: Organic Soils
The suggested planting date for soybeans in the Coastal Plains is April 20-May 20. Review the NCSU
Official Variety"green book"and information from private companies to select a high yielding variety
with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions.Plant 2-4 seed/row foot for 7-8"drills;4-6
seed/row foot for 15"rows; 6-8 seed/row foot for 30"rows and 8-10 seed/row foot for 36"rows. Increase
the seeding rate by at least 10%for no-till planting. Seeding depth should be 1-1 1/2"and adequate depth
control is essential. Phosphorus and potash recommended by a soil test report can be applied at planting.
Soybeans produce their own nitrogen and are normally grown without additions of nitrogen.However,
applications of 20-30 lbs/acre N are sometimes made at planting to promote early growth and vigor.
Tissue samples can be analyzed during the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status of the
soybeans.Timely management of weeds and insects is essential for profitable soybean production.
The following crop note applies to field(s): 14, 16
Double-Crop Soybeans,Coastal Plain: Organic Soils
Double-crop soybeans should be planted as early in June as possible with planting completed by July 4th.
When no-tilling soybeans in small grain straw, it is essential to manage the straw to achieve adequate
plant populations.Review the NCSU Official Variety"green book"and information from private
companies to select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions.
Plant 2-4 seed/row foot for 7-8"drills; 4-6 seed/row foot for 15"rows; 6-8 seed/row foot for 30" rows
and 8-10 seed/row foot for 36" rows. Increase the seeding rate by at least 10%for no-till planting.
Seeding depth should be 1-1 1/2"and adequate depth control is essential. Phosphorus and potash
recommended for the soybeans can be applied to the wheat in the Fall.For soils such as-------phosphorus
should be applied at planting as phosphorus will leach from these soils. Soybeans produce their own
nitrogen and are normally grown without additions of nitrogen.However,applications of 20-30 lbs/acre
N are sometimes made at planting to promote early growth and vigor.Tissue samples can be analyzed
during the growing season to monitor the overall nutrient status of the soybeans.Timely management of
weeds and insects is essential for profitable double crop soybean production.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Manaaernent
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift,
manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during
operation or land application. Any discharge of waste that reaches surface
water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer
either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to
properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to
properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an
agreement with a landowner,who is within a reasonable proximity,
allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application. It is the
responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an
update of the Nutrient .Management Plan when there is a change in the
operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application,
receiving crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the nitrogen needs
for realistic crop yields based upon soil type, available moisture, historical
data, climatic conditions, and level of management, unless there are
regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied'to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre
per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per
acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter
strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS Field
Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste
application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift
from the land application field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste
will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is
applied to conservation tilled crops or grassland, the waste may be
broadcast provided the application does not occur during a season prone
to flooding (see "Weather and Climate in North Carolina" for guidance).
138870 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 3/25/2019 Specification Page 1
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration
rate such that runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a
method which does not cause drift from the site during application. No
ponding should occur in order to control odor and flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall
events, or when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner
that the crop is not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit
growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be
considered.
10. Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring
planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Waste/nutrient
loading rates on these soils should be held to a minimum and a suitable
winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not
be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages
breaking dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with
the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is
applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least
50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste,
other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995,
shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters.
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.
138870 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed:3/25/2019 Specification Page 2
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 cropland provided the fields have been
approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal
waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly
into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be
applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift
from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from 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 embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas
shall be fenced, as necessary,to protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as
trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are limited to areas where
considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed and
accessible. Perms and structures should be inspected regularly for
evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
18. If animal production at the facility is to be suspended or terminated,the
owner is responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan"
which will eliminate the possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution, and
erosion.
19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected
on a regular basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular
maintenance checklist should be kept on site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other
crops for direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on
crops for direct human consumption, it should only be applied pre-plant
with no further applications of animal waste during the crop season.
21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom
elevations of the temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste
treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain the liquid level
between the markers. A marker will be required to mark the maximum
storage volume for waste storage ponds.
138870 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 3/25/2019 Specification Page 3
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested
at least annually at crop sites where waste products are applied. Nitrogen
shall be the rate-determining nutrient, unless other restrictions require
waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower
application rate than a nitrogen based rate. Zinc and copper levels in the
soils shall be monitored and alternative crop sites shall be used when
these metals approach excessive levels. pH[ shall be adjusted and
maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis
records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste
application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years.
Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five
(5) years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN
P14ONF.NT JMRF.RR
DWQ
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
SWCD
NRCS
This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing, or running off site. You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters or
leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort to
ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible location for all
employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should take.
1. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation,this may or may not be possible.
Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below.
A. Lagoon overflow-possible solutions are:
a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam.
b. Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately,
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B. Runoff from waste application field-actions include:
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
c. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s)that caused the runoff.
e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred.
C. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers-action include:
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Close valves to eliminate further discharge.
d. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
D. Leakage from flush systems,houses,solid separators-action include:
I December 18, 1996
y
a. Stop recycle pump.
b. Stop irrigation pump.
c. Make sure no siphon occurs.
d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid separators.
e. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
E. Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to
a. Dig a small sump or ditch away from the embankment to catch all seepage,put
in a submersible pump, and pump back to the lagoon.
b. If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes
and compact with a clay type soil.
c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and lagoon bottom
as soon as possible.
2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages.
a. Did the waste reach any surface waters?
b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration?
c. Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills,or property damage?
d. Did the spill leave the property?
e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters?
f. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters?
g. Are potable water wells in danger(either on or off of the property)?
h. How much reached surface waters?
3. Contact appropriate agencies.
a. During normal business hours,call your DWQ(Division of Water Quality)regional office;
Phone - - . After hours,emergency number. 919-733-3942. Your phone call
should include:your name, facility,telephone number,the details of the incident from item
2 above,the exact location of the facility,the location or direction of movement of the spill,
weather and wind conditions. The corrective measures that have been under taken,and the
seriousness of the situation.
b. If spill leaves property or enters surface waters, call local EMS phone number -
c. Instruct EMS to contact local Health Department.
d. Contact CES,phone number - - , local S WCD office phone number - - ,and
local NRCS office for advice/technical assistance phone number - -
4. If none of the above works call 911 or the Sheriffs Department and explain your problem
to them and ask that person to contact the proper agencies for you.

5. Contact the contractor of your choice to begin repair of problem to minimize off-site
damage.
a. Contractors Name: _
b. Contractors Address:
c. Contractors Phone:
6. Contact the technical specialist who certified the lagoon(MRCS,Consulting Engineer, etc.
a. Name:
b. Phone:
7. Implement procedures as advised by DWQ and technical assistance agencies to rectify
the damage,repair the system, and reassess the waste management plan to keep
problems with release of wastes from happening again.

Mortality Management Methods
Indicate which method(s) will be implemented.
When selecting multiple methods indicate a primary versus secondary option.
Methods other than those listed must be approved by the State Veterinarian.
Primary Secondary Routine Mortality
Burial three feet beneath the surface of the ground within 24 hours of knowledge of animal
® ® death. The burial must be at least 300 feet from any flowing stream or public body of water
(G.S.106-403). The bottom of the burial pit should be at least one foot above the seasonal
high water table.Attach burial location map and plan.
Landfill at municipal solid waste facility permitted by NC DEQ under GS 15A NCAC
13B .0200.
Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S. 106-163.7.
® ® Complete incineration according to 02 NCAC 52C .0102.
A composting system approved and permitted by the NC Department of Agriculture & Con-
sumer Services Veterinary Division (attach copy of permit). If compost is distributed off-farm,
additional requirements must be met and a permit is required from NC DEQ.
In the case of dead poultry only, placing in a disposal pit of a size and design approved by the
NC Department of Agriculture&Consumer Services (G.S. 106-549.70).
® ® Any method which, in the professional opinioniof the State Veterinarian, would make possible
the salvage of part of a dead animal's value without endangering human or animal health.
(Written approval by the State Veterinarian must be attached).
Mass Mortality Plan
Mass mortality plans are required for farms covered by an NPDES permit. These plans are
also recommended for all animal operations. This plan outlines farm-specific mortality man-
agement methods to be used for mass mortality. The NCDA&CS Veterinary Division sup-
ports a variety of emergency mortality disposal options; contact the Division for guidance.
• A catastrophic mortality disposal plan is part of the facility's CAWMP and is activated
when numbers of dead animals exceed normal mortality rates as specified by the State
Veterinarian.
• Burial must be".done in accordance with NC General Statutes and NCDA&CS Veterinary
Division regulations and guidance.
• Mass burial sites are subject to additional permit conditions(refer to facility's animal
waste management system permit).
• In the event of imminent threat of a disease emergency, the State Veterinarian may enact
additional temporary procedures or measures for disposal according to G.S. 106-399.4.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION and WASTEWATER
MANAGEMENT PLAN for PERMIT APPLICATION
ROSE ACRES FARMS
Prepared by:
RST Engineering, PLLC
March 12, 2019
The second cell in series is similar in size to the first with approximately 8.1
days of detention at design flow. There is no aeration in this cell so that it is
facultative in nature. Mixing occurs only through the movement of water
through the facultative cell from the aeration cell when the influent pumps are
on. Solids formed in the aeration cell will settle in the facultative cell, which
produces an anoxic layer where the nitrate formed in the first cell is converted
to elemental nitrogen by facultative bacteria. Neither of these cells is has a
sludge storage design volume because they are treatment cells.
The final cell is a large irrigation staging basin with a storage capacity of 180
days flow at design flow rates. The irrigation staging pond will not be pumped
dry during normal operations. One foot of depth is maintained as a minimum
volume that will remain in the pond at "empty". This volume serves to hold
the synthetic liner in place and to provide storage for residuals (sludge) that
may carryover from the denitrification cell or from algae growth in the
irrigation staging pond. The 180 days of storage is above the planned
minimum volume of wastewater in the pond. A freeboard level of 2 feet above
"full pond" is planned.
The facility is operating essentially as designed. The storage pond has a
healthy growth of algae year round, and the PAN contained in the discharge
to the irrigation areas is below the design amount and the amount that is
allowed by the CAWMP.
Land Application Area
The irrigation system is operating as designed. A Certified Animal Waste
Management Plan (CAWMP) was prepared and certified by Malcolm Gibbs,
CES-Hyde, based on the characteristics of the egg wash water, the
treatment facilities, and the land application area proposed for spray
irrigation. The CAWMP has been updated as operating data has become
available. A copy of the most recent update, prepared and certified by Allie
Mulligan of the Hyde County soil and water conservation service is attached.
Manure
Rose Acres composts the manure in accordance with a permit issued by the
Division of Waste Management. The composting facility is operating in
compliance with that permit and a Class A compost is being generated
and distributed according to the requirements of the permit.
Agronomic Evaluation
Nutrient management is in accordance with the CAWMP. To date, no
fertilizer has been added to the site to make up the shortfall for crop needs
that results from the application of only the nutrients in the wastewater. This
is a conservative approach intended to insure that agronomic rates for the
cover crops are not exceeded. The decreased yield of hay from the cover
crops is accepted by Rose Acres to provide this margin of safety. As
indicated in the CAWMP, if commercial fertilizer is added to the fields, that
nutrient will be subtracted from the amount allowed in the irrigated
wastewater. Annual soil testing is conducted as required by the original
permit.
System Reliability and Emergency Action Plan
The wastewater treatment system is designed to ensure that
no inadequately treated wastewater can be discharged to the land. The egg
washing operation uses wash water that recirculates in the washer.
A portion of this water (designed flow is 20,000 gpd) is bled off and
discharged to the treatment system. The wastewater is pumped from the
washer to the aerated (first) treatment cell. An air gap at the point of discharge
to the treatment cell is maintained by the elevation of the discharge point
relative to the discharge point from the cell to prevent any possibility of the
wastewater siphoning back from the lagoon system. This is shown on the
plans for the system. In the event of a pump failure, all wastewater will be
contained in the process loop until it can be pumped
to waste.
Wastewater will be transferred from the aerated treatment cell to the
denitrification cell to the irrigation storage cell by gravity as shown on the
plans. The individual cells are designed so that they can be emptied for
maintenance of the liner systems if necessary (as shown on the plans).
The designed storage is well in excess of any required based on the water
balance for the site. The excess storage was designed to prevent application
when the soil on the site is saturated.
The aeration system is designed to ensure efficient maintenance and
service. The aerator has no moving parts and the pump is located on
ground level. The pump used is readily accessible so that a new

OPERATING PLAN
ROSE ACRE FARMS
HYDE COUNTY EGG FARM
COMPOST / STORAGE BUILDING
COMPOSTING OPERATION OVERVIEW
The purpose of the Rose Acre Compost Facility in Hyde County is to manage poultry
manure and mortality in a responsible manner that will minimize the possibility of any
adverse effects to the environment.
Manure from the pullet houses will be stored under roof on the pullet farm site until it is
transferred to the composting facility. Manure from the layer houses will be allowed to
accumulate under the cages in the laying houses, protected from the weather, for
approximately 12-18 months. The piles will not be turned and the dried manure will not
be completely composted while in the houses.
Mortalities from the layer houses and the pullet farm will be collected daily and delivered
to the composting facility in closed containers. At the facility, the mortalities will be
layered into the composting bins as described in this text.
All mortalities and manure will be composted to meet the EPA Process to Further Reduce
Pathogens and Vector Attraction Reduction standards to minimize the possibility of the
spread of disease on or off the Hyde County Egg Farm.
RESPONSIBLE EMPLOYEES
The employees that will be responsible for and execute the handling of the manure,
compost, litter, the acquiring of necessary samples, maintaining sufficient inventory of
sampling materials, maintaining all sampling equipment in proper working order,
finished compost, and mortalities are as follows:

DEFINITIONS
For the purpose of this operating manual litter shall be defined as manure from the pullet
or laying houses.
Bulking agent shall be defined as any material used as a carbon source for the mixture of
the compost, composting process, or bulk storage of raw materials.
Finished compost shall mean material that is ready to be delivered for use as an
agricultural supplement for the growing of a crop, garden, general horticultural, or other
public uses suitable for Grade A compost.
COLLECTION OF MATERIAL FOR COMPOSTING
As the manure drops from the bird it accumulates in the lower portion of the house. This
area, which is on a concrete floor above natural grade, is called the pit.
Periodically the manure must be removed from the pit, as it becomes full. In order to
accomplish removal activities, a small front end loader or a similar device will enter the
pit through a door between the pit level and the outside, and begin to scoop up manure.
The manure accumulates as cone-shaped rows under each row of hens, facilitating
systematic removal. The manure is removed and placed into a hopper directly outside the
pit door. The hopper is connected to a moving belt, which transfers manure from the
hopper into the bed of a dump truck. Prior to being loaded in the truck, the manure will
be visually inspected for the presence of foreign materials, i.e., materials that are not
either manure or feathers. Should foreign materials be found, they will be removed prior
to placing the manure in the bed of the dump truck.
Any manure that falls to the ground outside the house or the pullet farm storage building
during manure removal and transfer shall be swept up either with a broom and dustpan or
with a shovel by the end of each work day or prior to significant rainfall. Manure will
not be transferred during periods of high rain or high wind.
The dump trucks, when full, will move the manure to the composting/storage building.
During transfer activities, and three at trucks will be weighed to determine the average
weight of manure comprising a load. This average weight will be multiplied by the
number of trucks loaded in a given day, and that figure will be recorded in the
appropriate column on the RAF Manure and Mortalities Transfer log.
During transport from the loading area to the composting building, the roadway will be
visually inspected for manure that came out of the truck during transport. Any manure
noted will be cleaned up by the end of that work day. The manure collected shall be
brought to the compost building and placed with the other manure transferred that day.
The manure shall be offloaded in the compost building to form windrows.
Manure transfers from the poultry houses shall be documented in the section under the
heading "Manure". The date the transfer took place shall be indicated in the column
marked"Date". If the manure was transferred from the layer farm, an "L" shall be
placed in the column marked "Farm". If the manure comes from the pullet farm, a"P"
shall be placed in the column marked"Farm". The numerical designation of the house
the manure was removed from shall be identified in the column marked "House". The
weight of manure in tons shall be recorded in the column marked"tons" . The
employee making the transfer shall write their initials in the column marked "Empl.
Initials" to verify the transfer.
Mortality transfers shall be documented in the section under the heading "Mortalities".
The date the transfer took place shall be indicated in the column marked "Date". If the
mortalities were transferred from the pullet farm, then a"P" shall be placed in the column
marked "Farm". If the mortalities were transferred from the layer farm, then an "L" shall
be placed in the column marked"Farm". The numerical designation of the house the
mortalities were transferred from shall be recorded in the column marked "House". The
number of mortalities and combined weight of the mortalities shall be recorded in the
columns marked "# Birds" and"Weight". The combined weight of the mortalities is
critical in determining the proper amount of carbon to be mixed with the mortalities to
facilitate composting. The employee will place their initials in the column marked
"Empl. Initials" to verify the transfer.
Completion of these forms creates a record of when manure or mortality are removed
from the individual houses and placed in the compost building and the quantity that is
moved.
MORTALITY COMPOSTING
When daily mortalities are transferred from either the pullet farm or the layer farm the
pertinent information shall be recorded on the Mortalities Transfer Log as indicated in
this document.
The composting of mortalities shall follow the set of guidelines outlined below.
The mortality composting bins measure eight feet wide by twelve feet deep and are seven
feet high. At the entrance to each bin is a small channel where 2"thick boards can be
stacked edgewise, in order to contain the amount of composted mortalities placed in the
bin.
Each bin is assigned a number. Each bin is anticipated to be of more than adequate size
to contain all the mortalities that would be generated each day. If space permits it is
permissible to place at least a portion of one day's mortalities on top the mortalities in
another bin to finish filling that bin before moving on to the next bin.
In order to achieve complete composting of mortalities, the mortalities will have to be
mixed with some manure and bulking agent. Typically, bulking agent mixed with
mortalities will be comprised of manure and sawdust or straw. Bulking agent may also
include wood chips, yard waste, peanut hulls, cotton gin trash or other materials approved
by the Solid Waste Section. Finished or partially composted manure from the manure
windrows may be also be added to the bins.
The ratio of the weights of each ingredient will be adjusted to achieve complete
composting of the mortalities. The ideal composition is a C:N ratio of 25:1 with a 45%
moisture content. A typical recipe, by weight, is one part dead poultry, 1.5 to 2.0 parts
manure from the layer or pullet houses and 1/10 part straw or sawdust. The mortalities to
be composted each day will be weighed to determine the basis for the day's mix of
ingredients. Alternatively, the mortalities may be counted and a known average weight
used to calculate the basis for the day's mix of ingredients. Water will be added only if
necessary to achieve composting.
The typical layering in a mortality-composting bin is to place 6 inches of sawdust on the
concrete floor. This is covered with 6 inches of straw. Ventilation tubes are placed in the
straw layers. This is covered by a layer of mortalities (about 136 birds or about 473
pounds). Next, about 6(six) inches of manure is used to cover the mortalities. Water, if
needed, is then added to reach desired moisture levels. The bin is then filled with
alternating layers of straw and the mortality"recipe"until full. It is capped with a six-
inch layer of sawdust or finished compost. If ventilation pipes are not used, the compost
must be turned regularly.
Aeration for the bins will be through the use of ventilation pipes inserted into each straw
layer in the bin. Two one inch pipes with holes that are at least (1/4 ) inch in diameter
and spaced every(1-2)inches will be placed in each straw layer in each bin. In the event
additional aeration is necessary a front-end loader or bobcat will be used to turn the bins.
Composted mortality will normally be transferred to manure windrows after they have
been in the bins at least long enough to achieve a minimum temperature of at least 131
degrees F for at least three consecutive days. Re-composting this material will further
reduce the possibility of any pathogens in the mortality surviving.
The composted mortality material will be layered into the manure windrow most recently
placed in the compost building. Finished mortality compost material may also be added
to the windrows and then turned in with the turner for incorporation into the windrow.
After initial heating this windrow will be monitored turned in keeping with normal
manure windrow practices.
If composted mortalities are to be sold, rather than added to the manure windrows, the
temperature and residence time in the bins will also meet the requirements of Compost
Rule .1406(11). Specifically, the bin temperatures will remain above 104 degrees F for a
total of at least 14 days and the average temperature for that time shall remain above 113
degrees for that 14 day period. The three days at 131 degrees F is included in the 14 day
average. Temperature monitoring and record keeping will be continued during this
period to demonstrate that this standard has been met.
During the three day period when compost bin temperatures are to be above 131 degrees
F temperatures will be monitored in at least three locations and at two depths, in each bin.
Each temperature will be recorded. Temperatures may be monitored after three days
above 131 degrees to be sure the compost process is proceeding. If the mortality compost
is to be distributed directly to the public the bin temperatures will continue to be
monitored as noted above to demonstrate that the vector attraction reduction time and
elevated temperature requirements are met. The RAF Hen Mortalities Composting Log
shall be completed.
The finished mortality compost product will be sampled and analyzed_as required in 15
NCAC 13B.1408(a)before the compost is removed from the bin for distribution to the
public. Sampling will be done for pathogens, regulated metals, foreign matter and
nutrient levels. Samples collected from the bin in question will be assigned a specific
sample number in order to accurately track the analytical information pertinent to the
compost contained therein. The sample number will be recorded in the column marked
"Sample #". The date the sample was collected and sent to the lab will be recorded in the
column marked "Date Sent to Lab". Samples are to be sent to the lab on the date they are
collected.
MORTALITY COMPOSTING LOG
Composting of mortalities shall be verified by completion of the Mortality Composting
Log.
The date that mortalities are placed in the bin shall be recorded in the column marked
"Date". In the column marked"Farm/House", the farm the mortalities were transferred
from shall be designated by placing an"L" for mortalities transferred from the layer
farm, or a"P" for mortalities transferred from the pullet farm. Additionally, the
numerical designation of the house the mortalities were removed from shall be placed in
the same column.
The number of birds brought to the composting area shall be recorded in the column
marked"# of Birds". The numerical designation of the bin the mortalities are placed in
shall be recorded in the column marked"Bin#". The depth, in inches, to which the bin
is filled shall be recorded in the column marked "Depth in Bin". The date the
temperature of the compost in that specific bin initially rises to 131 degrees F shall be
recorded in the "131 Deg. Date"column. After reaching this temperature, the compost
shall be monitored for the following 3 days, and the temperature on each date shall be
recorded in the "24 Hour Temp.", "48 Hour Temp.", and "72 Hour Temp" columns.
Should the temperature fall below 131 degrees F, then the 3-day recording period will
start over after the bin temperature once again reaches 131 degrees F. The date the
composted mortalities are removed shall be recorded in the column marked "Date
Removed".
Manure composting
The manure shall be offloaded in the compost building to form windrows. Each windrow
begins just beyond the mortality compost bins. Each windrow will be a maximum of 410
feet long. The interior walls will have markings painted on them delineating the starting
and ending point for the windrows, and shall also have markings at various distances to
enable the individual in control of manure placement to determine the length of the
windrow.
Generally, windrows will be formed by positioning the dump trucks where the windrow
is to begin or be continued, opening the tailgate, lifting the bed, and driving down the
length of the building, dispensing manure as it proceeds. The individual in control of
manure placement shall indicate to the driver of the truck whether to speed up or slow
down in order to evenly dispense the manure along the windrow being formed.
As the windrow portion of the building fills up it may be necessary to drop the manure in
the open area and use a front end loader to place the manure in the windrow. A small pile
of manure will be maintained in the vicinity of the compost bins for daily use in
composting mortality.
After reaching a temperature of 131 degrees F and maintaining it for 3 days, the wind
row will be turned. Each windrow will be maintained at temperatures at or above 131
degrees F for at least 15 days and during the period the windrows are above 131 degrees
each windrow will be turned five times. Each time the windrow is turned the date and
time will be recorded in the manure compost log. After the fifth turning, the compost
will be sampled and samples will be sent to the lab for analysis. If the analysis shows the
compost meets the requirements for a Grade A compost, the compost will be considered
ready for further distribution.
Compost temperatures will be monitored at least every three days during the 14 day
period the temperatures are at or above 131 degrees F for pathogen reduction. Prior to
turning the compost, the person in charge of that duty will check the internal pile
temperature to determine whether it is at or above 131 degrees F. Temperature testing
will be performed at approximately 25 foot intervals along the length of the windrow.
Sample points should be approximately one third of the height of the pile from the top.
The temperature will be measured 6-1.2 inches into the pile, and again 3-4 feet into the
pile. Each temperature and the depth to which the thermometer was inserted will be
recorded in the appropriate location in the manure compost log.
Aeration for the windrows will normally be provided through mechanical turning using a
self-propelled compost turner. A front-end loader or a bobcat will also be available for
turning if necessary.
If areas are noted that are not at the minimum temperature of 131 degrees F, that
windrow will not be turned. Staff will then try to determine the reason the temperature is
low. If lack of oxygen is determined to be the problem the windrow may be turned more
often to keep oxygen levels up. If it is determined that lack of moisture is the problem
water may be misted onto the pile if absolutely necessary in order to sustain appropriate
levels of aerobic biological activity and the pile turned to incorporate the moisture.
If at any time during the turning process the temperature drops below the 131 degrees F
required the composting process shall begin again. After a windrow has met the required
131 degrees F for 15 days turning frequency will be only what is necessary to maintain
adequate oxygen levels, sustaining aerobic biological activity to maintain temperatures at
appropriate levels.
MANURE COMPOSTING RECORD
The date each load is received shall be recorded on the line provided. The numerical
designation of the row the manure is placed in is to be recorded in the space provided.
The person responsible shall record the numbers, in the space provided, to the nearest
foot marker, from the beginning and the end of the row created during that day's manure
placement activities.
Manure from the pullet farm will follow the same process as above except manure will be
delivered via a large dumpster. The pullet manure will generally be placed into the next
available open row for composting. Pullet manure may have a higher moisture content
than the layer manure. If higher moisture content is needed in the layer manure windrow
to sustain appropriate levels of aerobic biological activity, the pullet manure may be
incorporated into the layer manure.
Composting Other Materials
Any solids that must be removed from the lagoon handling egg wash water may be
composted at this facility. These solids will be added to new layer manure windrows
when they are created.
Broken eggs, egg shells, or eggs which do not meet company standards may also be
managed at this compost facility. These materials would also be added to new layer
manure windrows when they are created. This material may also be added to the
mortality bins for composting with the mortalities.
SAMPLING PLAN
The purpose is to establish procedures for the collection of representative samples of
composted manure in a manner that will not result in the contamination of the sample and
will allow accurate analysis of the sample for,pathogens, regulated metals, foreign
matter, and nutrient content. Foreign matter would be materials made of plastic metal, or
glass.
Compost sampling and analysis will be performed according to the guidelines outlined in
15 NCAC 1313.1408(a)(1), NCAC 1313.1408(a)(2), and NCAC 1313.1408(a)(5). Samples
shall be collected for pathogens, regulated metals and foreign matter, at least every
20,000 tons of compost produced, or each 6 month period, whichever comes first.
The equipment utilized for this shall be a 48 inch or a 40 inch dial head, probe type
thermometer, pre-sterilized plastic bags, a stainless steel sampler(a hand auger or tube
type sampler) that is a minimum of five feet in length, a stainless steel bowl, a stainless
steel trowel, and disposable rubber or latex gloves.
Disposable rubber or latex gloves will be worn while sampling or handling manure or
compost for analysis. The manure/compost pile will be sampled on a regular basis to
document the conditions of the compost and verify that the pathogen levels for the
composted material meet 15 NCAC 1313.1408(a) requirements. Material from the bins
shall only be tested if the compost is to be distributed and not re-composted with the
manure.
Prior to pathogen sample collection, all sampling tools will be cleaned with water and a
detergent by scrubbing with a brush and rinsing with clean fresh water. The sampling
tools will be cleaned between each sample and new disposable gloves will be used to
collect each sample.
Pathogen samples should be grab samples or a composite sample taken from no more
than 1 bin or windrow. This will make it easier to locate the source of contamination in
the event of a bad sample.
Samples will be collected using a clean stainless steel auger. The sample will be
collected from a point 6 inches into the pile to the depth of the auger. The entire sample
shall be placed into the clean stainless steel bowl and mixed thoroughly with the stainless
steel trowel. A representative quantity of the mixed sample will be transferred to a
plastic bag provided by the analytical laboratory. The bag will be immediately sealed
and marked with a sample identification number, the date and time of the sample, and the
sampler's name. Pathogen samples will be cooled to approximately 40 degrees F until
delivered to the lab. All samples collected will be transferred using standard chain-of-
custody procedures to the analytical laboratory for analysis.
The detection limit for the fecal coliform analysis should be less than one thousand mpn
per gram and the detection limit for salmonella must be less than 3 mpn per 4 grams.
Composite samples will be taken to be analyzed for regulated metals and foreign matter.
At least 1 sample will be taken from each manure windrow. The samples will be
maintained at approximately 40 degrees F until the 6 month or 6,000 ton period has been
reached. At that time the samples will be mixed together and a representative sample
taken and sent for analysis.
Copper, cadmium, lead, nickel and zinc are the regulated metals to be tested for. The
total metal level (mg/kg) of each metal is to be determined by a Waste Analysis from the
NCDA Plant Waste Solution Section Lab or other approved lab.
The foreign matter is determined by passing a dried quantity of at least 5 pounds through
a 1/4 inch screen. Any foreign matter remaining on the screen shall be removed and
weighed to determine the percent by weight.
A composite sample shall be taken from each batch of compost to determine the nutrient
content. A batch is considered to be approximately 6,000 tons. Upon the designation of
a batch the required number of samples will be taken, a composite sample formed and
this composite sample delivered to a laboratory for analysis. The size of each nutrient
sample should be the same.
Nutrients to be sampled for include at least nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and some
micronutrients. The nutrient levels will be determined by a Waste Analysis from the
NCDA Plant Waste Solution Section Lab or other approved lab.
All composite samples shall be combined in the stainless steel bowl and thoroughly
mixed with the stainless steel trowel. A sample of at least 1 kg shall be transferred to a
container provided by the analytical laboratory for analysis using standard chain-of-
custody procedures. The container will be sealed and marked with a sample
identification number, the date and time of sample, and the sampler's name. The
analytical laboratory shall test the sample using methods accepted by the North Carolina
State University Extension Service.
Prior to release of any composted mortalities for distribution other than to be
re-composted with the manure composting, a series of samples shall be collected from
each bin to determine that the compost meets the pathogen levels defined for Class A
compost. Samples will be collected to reflect the total volume of the pile being
sampled. A sample shall be collected and analyzed for fecal coliform or salmonella
organisms as required to demonstrate compliance with the pathogen reduction standards
outlined in 15 NCAC 13B.1408. Additionally, these samples will be analyzed to
determine the amount of metallic contaminants (cadmium, copper, lead, nickel, and zinc)
and foreign matter present per 15 NCAC 1313. 1408.
MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION PLAN
Rose Acre Farms will create a Grade A compost. According to North Carolina Solid
Waste rule 15 NCAC 1313.1497(d)(1), "Grade A compost shall have unlimited,
unrestricted distribution. This product may be distributed directly to the public".
It is the intent of Rose Acre Farms to work with the farmers and other users in the region
to properly use and distribute the compost that is generated from the farm in Hyde
County North Carolina. The sale and distribution to local users shall take place only after
the compost has completed its processing in the compost and storage facility at the Rose
Acre Farms site.
In order to assure that the best information is made available to those using the compost
for the many and varied uses of this Grade A compost each"batch" shall have an NCDA
Waste Analysis, or an analysis from a private vendor providing similar information,
performed on it within 90 days of its use.
Rose Acre Farms will request a nutrient management plan from any individual which
receives more than 10 (ten) tons per visit of finished compost.
It is also permitted to work with any local, county, state or federal government agencies
that may need a nutrient base for any projects they maybe required to perform. For any
agency that would use the product, nutrient planning would be performed before delivery
or application.
CONTINGENCY PLANS
EQUIPMENT BREAKDOWN
Preventive maintenance will be performed on all equipment on a regular basis to lessen
the opportunity for an equipment breakdown. If however the equipment does break
down the required parts would be immediately ordered after determining the proper parts
required to make the necessary repairs. If a technician would need to be brought in then
that would be arranged.
If the turner is unable to be used due to equipment failure, and manure is scheduled to be
turned, then a small bobcat type loader or other suitable piece of equipment would be
used. Turning of mortalities composted in a bin may be accomplished by hand, should no
suitable piece of equipment be available to turn it mechanically.
ODOR
Odor control will be accomplished by maintaining aerobic conditions and proper carbon
nitrogen ratios in the compost bins and windrows. Mortalities and manure will be
processed daily. This will avoid putrefication of mortality. If odor does become a
problem C:N can be adjusted with bulking agent, of finished compost can be placed over
bins and windrows when formed to adsorb odors._ In addition, the remote location and
large size of the site will serve to minimize any impact from odors on adjacent property
owners.
HIGH WINDS/TORRENTIAL RAIN
In the event of high winds or torrential rains the main doors to the compost building
would be closed. Any transfer of manure would be halted with the exception of manure
transferred from the pullet farm, which is transported in a closed container. Compost will
not be shipped off site if weather conditions would lead to the loss of material from
trucks.
VECTORS
Vector control will be achieved by maintaining the composting facility to prevent
creation of conditions which attract vectors. The manure brought into the facility will be
dry and reasonably stable because of the time it was retained in the layer or pullet
houses. Dry, partially stabilized material will not readily attract flies and other insects.
Internal temperatures in the piles will be high enough to prevent insect infestation.
Mortalities will be delivered daily to the facility in closed containers and promptly placed
in bins, which limits access to vectors. Since all handling will be in an enclosed
building, vector attraction will be minimized. The end use of the finished Class A
compost will not create nuisance conditions or vector attraction problems because of the
stable nature of the material. Surface water will not be allowed to stand in or
immediately around the compost building to reduce breeding areas.
If vectors become a problem standard, commercially available, control methods will be
used.
FIRE
In the unlikely event of a fire the Environmental Services Manager, Environmental
Services Employees, or other employee of Rose Acre Farms shall immediately attempt to
contact the complex manager. Every attempt will be made to extinguish the fire before it
spreads into the rest of the building or damages the building. This would be
accomplished by using a water hose to extinguish any open flames. For small fires, a fire
extinguisher will be on hand.
After any open flames are controlled, smoldering areas or other"hot spots" will be
controlled by using a small front-end loader to open up the storage area, wind row or
composting bin so that the hot area can be further controlled. A decision will be made
early in the response to a fire of whether the local fire department should respond. A
placard at the entrance to the building shall have local emergency phone numbers on it.
After firefighting efforts are finished, finished product will be returned to its storage
area. If the fire was in a wind row or composting bin, the material which had been
disturbed would be replaced, and the composting process for the disturbed material re-
started from the beginning. A notation of this product would be made on any associated
or required forms.
UNUSUAL MORTALITY
If due to unforeseen circumstances a higher than normal death rate would occur that
could not be handled by the compost facility, several options would be pursued. One
would be to deliver the mortalities to a rendering operation. A second option would be
to deliver the mortalities to an approved landfill.
Any option pursued, for unexplainable or disease related increased mortality, would first
be approved by the North Carolina State Veterinarian or his/her appropriate staff.
COMPOST TEMPERATURES
If at any time the temperature of any compost is not meeting the required level as
established by the North Carolina Solid Waste Rules governing Class A compost then
one of two courses of action will be pursued. One action would be to insert pipes into the
compost stacks which will increase aerobic activity, resulting in increased compost
temperatures. Another option would be to add some water to the compost, which would
also increase the temperature.
Particulates
Dust should not be an issue since most of the operation is inside. On site road ways will
be sprayed with water if dust becomes an off site problem.
Noise and Traffic
Due to the rural nature of this site, the fact that the operation is inside, and the minimal
amount of equipment use noise is not anticipated to be a problem.
Off site traffic will only be an issue when compost is distributed to the public. The rural
nature of the area and the fact that most of the compost will be transported in large trucks
should avoid traffic problems.
Record Keeping and Reporting
Daily operational records will include compost temperature and turning data, the
quantity, type and source of waste received and processed into compost, and the
analytical results from the testing done on the compost. The quantity and classification
of compost removed from the facility and the market or disposal facility the compost was
distributed to will also be maintained. The following logs will be used to record and
maintain this information.
MANURE AND MORTALITIES TRANSFER LOG
Manure and mortality maintained separately
HEN MORTALITIES COMPOSTING LOG
MANURE COMPOSTING RECORD
Records shall be kept for a period of at least five years and will be made available for
inspection by personnel from the Division of Solid Waste Management for the North
Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources or will be sent to them upon
their request.
An annual report covering the time frame from July 1 through June 30 will be sent to the
Division of Solid Waste Management for the North Carolina Department of Environment
and Natural Resources by August 1 of that same year containing the information required
in 15 NCAC 13.B1408(c). The annual report will follow the following outline:
(1) The facility name, address, and permit number;
(2) The total quantity in tons and type of waste received at the facility during the
year covered by the report, including tons of waste received from local
governments of origin;
(3) The total quantity in tons and type of waste processed into compost during the
year covered by the report;
(4) The total quantity in tons and type of compost produced at the facility, by
product classification, during the year covered by the report;
(5) The total quantity in tons and type of compost removed for use or disposal from
the facility, by product classification, along with a general description of the
market if for use during the year covered by the report;
(6) Monthly temperature monitoring to support Rule .1406 of this Section; and
(7) Results of analysis for pathogens, regulated metals, foreign matter, and
3Ukng nutrients.

Mortality Composting
Mortalities are composted according to the North Carolina solid waste composting rules.
Mortalities are transferred from either the pullet farm or layer farm daily. Mortality
transfer logs are also kept daily
The composted mortalities are mixed with manure and that mixture will go through. the
composting process according io the North Caroiina solid waste composting rules as
permitted. (Permit NumberSWC-48-01)
