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.
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.

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or ground water.
The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the
amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops on 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 and annual soil tests are strongly encouraged
so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of
the crops to be grown.
Several factors are important in implementing your waste utilization
plan in order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to
ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner. 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. Soil types are important as they have different
infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities,
and available water holding capacities. Normally, waste shall not be
applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year.
With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up
to 10 tons per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils or on land
when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in
runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DEM regulations.
Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind
odor problems. To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production
and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied
to a growing crop or not more than 30 days prior to planting.
Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor
problems.
The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on
typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Actual acreage
requirements may be more or less and should be based on the waste
analysis report from your waste management facility. Attached you
will find information on proper sampling techniques, preparation, and
transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements
for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental
Management Commission.
Amount of waste produced per year
6216 hogs X 927 gals/animal unit/year = 5,762,232 gals/year
60 cattle X 6662 gals/animal unit/year = 399,720 gals/year
TOTAL = 6,161,952 GALS/YEAR
Amount of Nitrogen [N) produced per year
6216 hogs X 2.3 lbs N/animal unit/year = 14,297 lbs. N/year
60 cattle X 17 lbs N/animal unit/year = 1020 lbs. N/year
TOTAL = 15,317 lbs N/year
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.
See attached map(s) showing the fields to be used for the utilization
of animal waste. The following acreage will be needed for waste
application based on the crop to grown and method of application:

the Coastal Zone Management Act will require farmers in some
eastern counties of North Carolina to have a nutrient
management plan that addresses all nutrients. This waste
utilization plan only addresses Nitrogen.

WASTE DISPOSAL SPECIFICATIONS
1. Animal waste shall not reach surface waters of the state by runoff, drift,
manmade conveyances, direct application, or direct discharge during operation or
land application. Any discharge of waste which reaches surface water is
prohibited. Illegal discharges are subject to the assessment of civil penalties of
$10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental Management for every day the
discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the
producer either owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to
properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to properly
dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy of a written agreement
(sample Enclosed) with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing
him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the
production facility. It is the responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an
update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation,
increase in the number of animals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the Nitrogen needs for
realistic crop yields based on soil type, available moisture, historical data, climate
conditions, and level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the
rate of application for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System
(RMS) or an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss
shall be no greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will
be used where runoff leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to
"Buffers" required by DEM. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard
390 (Interim) - Riparian Forest Buffers.]
5. Odors can be reduced be injecting the waste or disking after waste application.
Waste should not be applied when the wind is blowing.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, it will be soil
incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When applied to conservation tilled
crops or grassland, the waste may be broadcast provided the application does not
occur during a season prone to flooding. (See "Weather and Climate in North
Carolina" in the Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate
such runoff does not occur offsite or to surface waters and in a method which does
not cause drift from the site during application. No ponding should occur in order
to control conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of
application.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or if
the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a manner that
no more than 20 to 25 percent of the leaf area is covered by solids.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fail or winter for spring planted crops on
soils with 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 on bare soil.
11. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to surface water. This
distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial provided adequate
vegetative filter strips are present. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips.)
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 overspraying. 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 should not be applied on grassed waterways
that discharge directly into water courses, and only then at agronomic rates
provided the application 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. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must maintain a
maximum operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm
event in addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed
areas (lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation
shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as necessary, to protect the
vegetation. Vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and other woody species, etc., are
limited to areas where considered appropriate. Lagoon areas should be kept mowed
and accessible. Lagoon berms and structures should be inspected regularly for
evidence of erosion, leakage, or discharge.
!rn
19. 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.
20. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a
regular basis t❑ prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance
checklist should be kept on site.
Your facility is designed for 90 days of temporary storage and should
have the temporary storage removed on the average every 3 months. In
no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure
exceed Elevation 20.0.
Ca11 the Natural Resources Conservation Service or Soil and Water
Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis
report to obtain assistance in determining the amount per acre to
apply and the application rate prior to applying the waste.
NOTE: 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.
Narrative of operation:
This WUP is for a four year rotation using the crops of Sage,
Onions, Peanuts and small grain cover crop for grazing. With the
lagoon on a 90 day pumping cycle, waste can be sprayed anytime during
the 90 days or all at one time depending on the conditions of the
field and crops. This schedule will show which crops to be planted
during the rotation and amount of PAN available for the crop.
Gallons to be sprayed per quarter = 1,540,488 gals
PAN to be applied per quarter = 3829 lbs.
At the current time this operation has 2664 head of hogs which is
43% of capacity. It has 180 day of storage. Total PAN produced is
6127#. It is recommended to apply waste in the spring and fall. If
waste is applied on sage it would required 51 acres. Apply half at
planting time in September and the other half in March. It would be
best to have a waste analysis t❑ determine the amount ❑f PAN for each
1000 gallons.
Any ditches which the pivots cross will need to be filled in. This WUP
was planned t❑ use the fields where no ditches were, but to get the
required acres ends of some ditches need to be filled in. The end gun
shall be cut off when appling waste.
DO NOT APPLY WASTE OVER DITCHES
FOR SWINE OPERATION
Addendum to WUP 3/3/97
Inserted into this plan for certification is the Swine Waste
Management Odor control checklist, Insect control checklist, and
Mortality Management Methods checklist which was filled out by the
Manager. Also inserted is the Emergency Action Plan for this
operation.
If additional crops are to be used, this soil type has a realistic
yield for corn of 120 bushels/acre. Apply nitrogen at a maximum rate
of 1.25 pounds per bushels which would be about 150 pounds be acres.
If applied on cotton the realistic yield is 650 pounds. The maximum
amount of nitrogen to be applied is 78 pounds per acre. The
application rate will still remain .50"/hour.
Additional Waste Disposal Specifications
1. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes
vegetables and other crops for direct human consumption. However,
if animal waste is used on crops for direct human consumption it
should only be applied preplant with no further applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
2. Highly visible permanent markers shall be installed to mark
the top and bottom elevations of the temporary storage (pumping
volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be managed
to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be
required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage
ponds.
3. Soil tests shall be made every two years and a liquid waste
analysis be taken at least twice each year consistent with waste
utilization plan. Poultry litter shall be tested prior to
application. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for
five years.
4. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC
regulations.

I (We) understand, will implement and follow the specifications and
the operation and maintenance procedures established in the approved
animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above. I (We) know
that any expansion to the existing design capacity of the waste
treatment and/or storage system or construction of new facilities will
require a new utilization plan and a new certification to be submitted
to DEM before the new animals are stocked. I (We) also understand
that there must be no discharge of animal waste from this system to
surface waters of the state for any reason except storm events as
severe as the 25-year, 24-hour storm or greater. The DEM regulations
require a copy of the approved plan be filed on -site at the farm
office and at the office of the local Soil and Water Conservation
District and will be available for review by DEM upon request.
Failure to comply with the waste utilization plan will automatically
require any cost share funds to be refunded to their source.

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:
d. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
Leakage from flush systems, houses, solid
separators -action include:
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 flowing leaks -
possible action:
a. Dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage,
put in a submersible pump, and pump back to
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
damages.
a. Did the waste
b. Approximately
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?
Are potable water wells in danger (either on or off
of the property) ?
h. How much reached surface waters?
of the spill and note any obvious
g•
reach any surface waters?
how much was released and for what
3: Contact appropriate agencies.
a. During normal business hours, call your DWQ
(Division of Water Quality) regional office; Phone
919-?1j -',M . After hours, emergency number: 919-
733-3942. Your phone call should include: your

call local EMS Phone number 919-Y57;2 -Y36S.
c. Instruct EMS to contact local Health Department.
d. Contact CES, phone number 919-972-C W , local SWCD
office phone number 919-Y5;.-17'/27, and local NRCS
office for advice/technical assistance phone number
919-YS2 - 7V37.
4: If none of the above works call 911 or the Sheriff's
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.
