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 Irrigation Application Factors for each field in this plan are shown in the following table. Infiltration rate varies with
soils. If applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system, you must apply at a rate that will not result in runoff. This table
provides the maximum application rate per hour that may be applied to each field selected to receive wastewater. It also lists
the maximum application amount that each field may receive in any one application event.

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.

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.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
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).
919586 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: 7/22/2015 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.
MAR 2 6 2019
919586 Database Version 4.1 Date PrintetkW22/2615• "' 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. 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.
919586 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: 7/22/2015 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.

Crop Notes
The following crop note applies to field(s): 2a
Corn 1: CP, Mineral Soil, low -leachable
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 20-30 lbs/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): 4
Fescue: Coastal Plain, Mineral Soil, Poorly Drained to Somewhat Poorly Drained.
Adaptation: Moderate to Marginal.
In the Coastal Plain, tall fescue can be planted Sept. 1 to Oct. 15 (best) and Feb. 15 to Mar. 20. For
pure -stand broadcast seedings use 20 to 30 lb/ac., for drilled use 15 to 20 lb/ac. seed. Use certified seed
to avoid introducing weeds or annual ryegrass. Plant seed 0.25" to 0.5" deep for pure stands, 0.25" in
mixture with clovers. Tall fescue will tolerate soil wetness but not flooding or prolonged saturation; use
ladino clover for mixtures on these soils. Soil test for preplant and maintenance lime, phosphorus, and
potassium recommendations. Apply 40 to 60 lb/ac nitrogen at planting for pure stands only. Do not apply
N for mixtures with clovers but use proper legume inoculation techniques. Apply 150 to 200 lb/ac. N to
pure -stand fescue for hay production; reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Apply N Feb. 1 to Mar. 20 and
Aug. 20 to Sept. 30, with equal amounts in each window. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305
Production and Utilization of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for additional information or
consult your regional agronomist or extension agent for assistance.

Bermudagrass CP, Mineral Soil, Poorly Drained to Somewhat Poorly Drained.
Adaptation: Effective artificial drainage MUST be in place to achieve Realistic Yield Expectations
provided for these soils.
In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. 1 to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs 1" to 3"
deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and
wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a
rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing
conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced 1' to 1.5' in row.
For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus,
potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 lb/ac N in
the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240
lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts.
Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization
of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more information or consult your regional agronomist or

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

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 compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading
equipment or standard tamping roller or other equivalent method.
Compaction equipment shall travel in a direction parallel to the main
axis of the fill. Clayey soils shall be compacted with a "sheepsfoot"
or tamping roller. Compaction of the fill material shall be in accord-
ance with the specified requirements for compaction and moisture.
For the embankment, use 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 NRCS approved material (ie - CL,SC,CH).
REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN THE PLANS FOR SPECIAL
CONSIDERATIONS.
SHEET 2 OF 3
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 unless otherwise specified. 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 the 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 EXISTING TILE DRAINS
When specified, the contractor shall construct an observation trench
along the entire length of the embankment to a minimum of five feet
in depth. The trench shall have a bottom width adequate to accomodate
the equipment used for excavation, backfill, and compaction operations
SHEET 3 OF 3
and the side slopes shall be 1:1 or flatter. When tile drains are
encountered, the tile shall be removed to a minimum of 15 feet beyond
the downstream embankment toe as measured perpendicular to the
embankment. If a tile line exists above the embankment it -shall be
rerouted around the lagoon in an approved location. Backfilling
and compaction in the trench shall be in accordance with the EXCAVATION
AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT requirements.
BOTTOM AND EDGES
The bottom of all lagoons shall be approximately level. The side
slopes shall be uniform from top to bottom. Scarify the bottom and
side slopes of the lagoon a minimum depth of six inches and compact
with a "sheepsfoot" or tamping roller to decrease the permeability
of the finished bottom and side slopes.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
During construction of the earth embankment, a qualified inspector
as designated by the designer must be on site during construction
as necessary to verify proper construction. Testing will be required
as deemed necessary by the inspector and/or designer.
During construction of a clay liner, a qualified construction
inspector as designated by the designer must be on site during con-
struction as necessary to verify the liner is installed in accordance
with NRCS South National Technical Center (SNTC) Technical Note
716 (Revised September 1993). In the absence of supervision of
construction by a qualified inspector, the liner must be tested to
verify a maximum hydraulic conductivity of 0.000001.25 cm/sec.
When testing is required, the owner will be responsible for furnish-
ing test results and certification that the construction meets
the design requirements. Any tests and certification should be
performed by a certified laboratory.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and
180 days of temporary storage. 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 yr - 24 hr storm for the location and a
heavy rain factor. 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 heavy rain
factor and 25 yr rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual
pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available.
The waste produced by the animals shall be utilized
an approved waste utilization plan. Highly visible
installed to mark the upper and lower elevations of
storage (pumping volume). Pumping shall be done as
maintain the liquid level between these markers.
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.
in accordance with
markers shall be
the temporary
necessary to
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. Before wastes are introduced, the waste treatment lagoon shall be
charged to 1/2 its treatment volume 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 buildingswith 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 50.24 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump -
out when the fluid level reaches elevation 47.67 . This temporary
storage less 25 yr and heavy rain contains 134433 cubic feet or
1005557 gallons.
SHEET 2 OF 2
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation and
recommended maximum application rate is shown in the waste utilization
plan. 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. Repair areas of the embankment that settle below the design settled
height or areas where cracking, sloughing, or "jug" holes -develop.
8. Repair waste inlet pipes that develop cracks or separate at the
joints.
9. Remove undesirable vegetative growth and floating or lodged debris.
10. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable
outlets when not included as part of the design temporary storage.
11. After five years the waste treatment lagoon shall be checked for
sludge accumulation annually. If sludge has encroached into the
treatment volume, the sludge will be removed and applied at agronomic
rates based on analysis of the sludge. Treatment volume must have
a minimum of 4 feet of depth free of sludge at all times.
12. In December 1992, the Environmental Management Commission (EMC)
in North Carolina revised water quality regulations that address
animal operations. These rules became effective on February 1,
1993 (15A NCAC 2H .0200). This animal operation shall be operated
within the requirements of these rules and regulations.
13. Pipes that are used for recycling effluent to use as flush water
and irrigation intakes must be placed 18 inches below the surface and
as far from the inlet discharge pipes as possible in order to provide
a cleaner effluent for flushing and to reduce odors when irrigating on
land. When these pipes are placed through the embankment, they should
be installed no more than two feet below top of embankment and not in
the highest section of fill. The pipe trench shall be compacted with
clayey material or other material as approved by an engineer.
