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. Waste should be analyzed
before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant
nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop to be grown.
Several factors are important in the 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.
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 more than 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but
less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are
established.
4. Do not apply waste on saturated soils , when it is raining, or when the surface is
frozen. Either of these conditions may in runoff to the surface waters which is not
allowed under DWQ regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crops production and to reduce the potential for
pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days
prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking will
conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods
in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different applications methods are
not the same.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for
this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from
your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which
RECEtIEDING : D
AD° 032019
Winer Qu if
rmonalOperations Section
Surf City Hogs, LLC Page 2
could allow additional waste to be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving
waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and the crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This
waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply
the waste in a timely manner.
Surf City Hogs, LLC Page 3
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.
In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc. interseeded in bermudagrass), forage must be removed through
grazing, hay and /or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine
inches. Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. In fields where small grain
etc. is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain to reach materity,
especially late in the season ( i.e. April or May) Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will
definitely interfere with the stand of bermudagrass. This Toss of stand will result in reduced yields and less
nitrogen being utilized. Rather than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal
situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage
two to three times during the season, depending on the time small grain is planted in the fall.
The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc. is late September or early October . Drilling is recommended over
broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best
results.
Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning
may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended.
Acres shown in the tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filters strips along
ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to
equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the field listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres
shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates.
The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients
or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 1588 lbs. of plant available
nitrogen per year in the sludge.
If you remove sludge every 5 years you will have approximately 7938 lbs. of PAN to utilize. Assuming
you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 Ibs/acre you will need
acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 Ibs. of nitrogen per acre you will need
acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estmates of the PAN and the land needed. Actual
requirements could vary by 25% depending on the sludge waste analysis, soil types, realistic yields, and
application methods.
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake 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
26
64
Surf City Hogs, LLC
Page 4
of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of
the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and
irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrrigate the acres shown in tables.
Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan
invalid.

This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the
crop is not over applied. In many situations the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the
nitrogen limitations. The maximum application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the
average of once every 6 months. In no instances should the volume of the waste be stored in your structure
be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour
storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and the waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated
properly to apply the correct rates shown in the tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of
nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you have receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the
amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to appling the waste.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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.
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 waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste , he/she shall provide a copy 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 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.
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, climatic conditions, and level
of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application 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 that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but Tess than 10 tons per acre per
year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG
standard 393 - Filter Strip).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste
should not be applied when there is 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" for guidance.)
7 Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate that runoff does not occur offsite or to the 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 or flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the
surface is frozen.
9.
Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that the crop is
not covered with waste to a depth that would inhibit growth. 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 potentual 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 residenrial 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 perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
Surf City Hogs, LLC
Page 7
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
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 he landowner.
15.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways.
Animal waste shalt not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways, or wetlands by
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 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 vegtation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). Areas shall be fenced as necessary to
protect the vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc.,
are limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed
and accessible. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for evidences 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 illigal discharge, pollution and erosion.
19• Waste handling structures, piping
tc., should be inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, peaks and spilllls.sAeregular maintenance checklist should
kept on site.be
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetation 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 the 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.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.
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 soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites
shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept
for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3)
years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.

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:

Mortality Management Methods
Indicate which method(s) will be implemented.
When selecting multiple methods indicate a primary versus secondary option.
Methods other than those listed must be approved by the State Veterinarian.
Routine Mortality
Burial three feet beneath the surface of the ground within 24 hours of knowledge of animal
death. The burial must be at least 300 feet from any flowing stream or public body of water
(G.S.106-403). The bottom of the burial pit should 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. 106-168.7.
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.
❑ D 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 opinion of the State Veterinarian, would.make possible
the salvage of part of a dead animal's value without endangering human or animal health.
(Written approval by the State Veterinarian must be attached).
❑
Mass Mortality Plan
Mass mortality plans are required for farms covered by an NPDES permit. These plans are
also recommended for all animal operations. This plan outlines farm -specific mortality man-
agement methods to be used for mass mortality. The NCDA&CS Veterinary Division sup-
ports a variety of emergency mortality disposal options; contact the Division for guidance.
• A catastrophic mortality disposal plan is part of the facility's CAWMP and is activated
when numbers of dead animals exceed normal mortality rates as specified by the State
Veterinarian.
• Burial must be,done in accordance with NC General Statutes and NCDA&CS Veterinary
Division regulations and guidance.
• Mass burial sites are subject to additional permit conditions (refer to facility's animal
waste management system permit).
• In the event of imminent threat of a disease emergency, the State Veterinarian may enact
additional temporary procedures or measures for disposal according to G.S. 106-399.4.

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) with
minimum odor control. The time required for the planned fluid level
to be reached (permanent + temporary storage) may vary due to
flushing operations and the amount of fresh water to be added to the
system.
The designed 6 months temporary storage is an estimated volume
based on : 1) waste from animals; 2) excess rainfall after
evaporation; and 3) the largest 24 hour (one day) rainfall that
occurs on the average of once every 25 years. The volume of
waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly
constant throughout the year and from year to year. This
estimate is based on 7 inches of excess rainfall which is
equal to or exceeds the highest 6 months excess in a year.
The average annual excess rainfall is approximately 8 inches.
Therefore, an average of 8 inches of excess rainfall will
need to be pumped each year. The 25 year rainfall will not be a
factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage
volume must always be available. A maximum elevation is
determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually
the outlet invert of pipe(s) from building(s). If the outlet
pipe is not installed on the elevation to begin pumping, a
permanent marker must be installed on this elevation to
indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be
established to stop pumping to maintain minimum treatment depth
(6 feet). Pumping can be started or stopped any time between
'these two elevations for operating convenience as site
conditions permit (weather, soils, crop, and equipment to apply
waste without runoff or leaching).
Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable
method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set,
center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should
be taken when applying waste to prevent runoff from the field
or damage to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is strongly recommended tha the treatment lagoon be pre -
charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during
start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids
should be covered with effluent at all times. When pre -
charging is completed, flush buildings with recycled lagoon
liquid. Fresh water should not be used for flushing after
initial filling.
2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed.
This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see
Attachment B) before land application.
3. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva-
tion 47.30 as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump -out
when the fluid level reaches elevation 45.25 or before
fluid depth is less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of
favorable bacteria). The design temporary storage, less 25 year
storm is 211367 cubic feet or 1581023 gallons. As stated
before, this volume will vary considerably from year to year.
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one
(1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.4
inches per hour.
5. Keep vegetation on embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon
mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to
maintain a vigorous stand.
6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
establish in vegetation.
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to
stable outlets.
8. Keep a minimum of 100 feet cropland buffer or 25 feet of grass
'vegetated buffer around waste utilization fields, particularly adjacent
to ponds, lakes, streams, open ditches, etc. Do not pump within
300 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a well.
9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of
pollutants into waters of the United States. The Department of
Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ-
mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.
