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 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: Table 1: ACRES OWNED BY PRODUCER Tract Field Soil Crop Real. Lbs. N Acres Lbs.

If nutrients from other sources such as commercial fertilizer are applied, they must be accounted for. Total N must be based on realistic crop yield expectation. NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and 1< may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. Beginning in 1996 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. • san6 Table 3: APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION-' Tract No. Field No. Soil Type Crop Application Rate(In/Hr) Application Amount(In.) 1032 1-3 MuA, At, AaA, StA crops .50"-rq-e'" Loa 2/Irrigation System Design must be attached. 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.

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 name, facility, telephone number, the details of the incident from item 2 above, the exact location of the facility, the location or direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind conditions. The corrective measures that have been under taken, and the seriousness of the situation. b. If spill leaves property or enters surface waters, call local EMS Phone number 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. a.
