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 opiniont.of the State Veterinarian, wouldmake 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. nature of Farm Owner/Manager 2 Date '7; Signature of Technical Specialist Date 4/3/2019 .. 0 9 e Maps Bell Swamp Rd NE Bell Swamp Rd NE - Google Maps Imagery ©2019 Google, Map data ©2019 Google 1000 ft https://www.google.com/maps/place/Bell+Swamp+Rd+NE,+Town+Creek,+NC+28479/@34.1000876, 78.1481712,2340m/data=!3m1!1e314m5!3m4!1s... 1/1 cf Nutrient Management Plan For Animal Waste Utilization 02-11-2011 This plan has been prepared for: Bell Swamp Farms Ila Raye Lundy 1027 Bell Swamp Rd Winnabow, NC 28479 910-253-0497 This plan has been developed by: Billy W Houston Duplin Soil & Water Conservation 165 Agriculture Drive, Suite B Kenansville, NC 28349 910-296-2120 Developer Signature Type of Plan: Nitrogen Only with Manure Only Owner/Manager/Producer Agreement I (we) understand and agree to the specifications and the operation and maintenance procedures established in this nutrient management plan which includes an animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above.

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for sludge utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations for each source, the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates shown in the second column. Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application of the effluent. At clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge must be carefully applied. Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be used for sludge application. If this is not possible, care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

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.

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). 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. 615914 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 2/11/2011 Specification Page 1 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. 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.

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. 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 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. 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.

The time required for the planned fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for: (1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also included is storage for the 25 year -'24 hour storm for the location. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to 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 at the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this.elevation to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth. Pumping car) be started or stopped at any time between these two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order 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 damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out: 1. It is strongly recommended that 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 precharging is complete, 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) before land application. 3. Begin temporary storage pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches the elevation 50.3 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump - out when the fluid level reaches elevation 48.0 . This temporary storage, less 25 yr- 24 hr storm, contains 327661 cubic feet or 2450907 gallons. SHEET 2 OF 2 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 inch per hour. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details. 5. Keep vegetation on the 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 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 feet of a residence 9r within 100 feet of a well. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 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. SHEET 1 OF 2 SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS FOUNDATION PREPARATION: The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be cleared of trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush, boulders,sod and rubbish. Satisfactory_disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoil from the lagoon and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior to placing the first lift of fill material to get a good bond. EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT: The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines, grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen soil, stones over 6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent they are suitable, excavated materials can be used as fill. The fill shall be brought up in approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9 inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer will be copacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading equipment or standard tamping roller or other equivalent method. Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectible. NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials from the required excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height and with an impoundment capacity of 10 acre-feet or more fall under the jurisdiction of the NC Dam Safety Law. The height is defined as the difference in elevation from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike. Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.5 ft. NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERIAL IS ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE SOILS REPORT. When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be over - excavated below finish grade to the specified depth as measured perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall be backfilled as specified to grade with a SCS approved material (ie - CL,SC,CH). REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN THE PLANS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS. SHEET 2 OF 2 Soil liner material shall come from an approved borrow area.The minimum water content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture content which relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneaded in the hand it will form a ball which does not readily separate. water shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture content during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner material shall not be less than optimum water content during placement. The maximum water content relates to the soil material being too wet for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Proper compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum ASTM D698 Dry Unit Weight of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous lift shall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement of the next lift. The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted perme- ability of a clay liner, other than the type of clay used for the liner, is ;he efficient construction processing of the compacted liner. The sequence of equipment use and the routing of equipment in an estab- lished pattern helps assure uniformity in the whole placement and compaction process. For most clay soils, a tamping or sheepsfoot roller is the preferable type of compaction equipment. The soil liner shall be protected from the discharge of waste outlet pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator(rocks) or using flexible outlets on waste pipes. Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant. When these are specified, additional construction specifications are included with this Construction Specification. CUTOFF TRENCH: A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when shown on a typical cross section in the plans. The final depth of the cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation materials. VEGETATION: All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construc- tion according to the seeding specifications. Topsoil should be placed on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch shall be used if the recommended permanent vegetation is out of season dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should be established as soon as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates. REMOVAL OF EXISTINP TILE DRAINS When tile drains are encountered, the tile will be removed to a minimum of 10 feet beyond the outside toe of slope of the dike. The tile trench shall be backfilled and compacted with good material such as SC, CL, or CH. SEEDING SPECIFICATIONS AREA TO BE SEEDED: 6.0 ACRES USE THE SEED MIXTURE INDICATED AS FOLLOWS: 360.0 LBS.

The time required for the planned fluid level to be reached (permanent -I- temporary storage) may vary due to soil conditions flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water 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 at any time between these two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order 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 damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out: 1. It is strongly recommended that 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 precharging is complete, 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) before land application. 3. Begin pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva- tion 55.3 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches elevation 53_3 or before the fluid depth is less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable bacteria). The design temporary storage, less 25 year storm is 145082 cubic feet or 1025216 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 0.3 inch per hour. 5. Keep vegetation on the 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 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization fields adjacent to perennial streams. Waste will not be applied in open ditches. Do not pump within 200 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.
