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 opinionwof 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.

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.

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 available to all employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and breaks can happen at any time. 1) Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested responses to problems are listed below: a) Lagoon overflow: * add soil to the berm to increase the elevation of the dam • pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate • stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waterers) • call a pumping contractor • make sure no surface water is entering the lagoon Note: These activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the temporary storage level. b) Runoff from waste application field: immediately stop waste application • create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field • incorporate waste to reduce further runoff c) Leaking from the waste distribution system: • pipes and sprinklers: • stop recycle (flushing system) pump • stop irrigation pump • close valves to eliminate further discharge rJ separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow • flush system, houses, solids separators: © stop recycle (flushing system) pump • stop irrigation pump Ti make sure no siphon effect has been created © separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow d) Leakage from base or sidewall of the lagoon. Often these are seepage as opposed to flowing Ieaks: dig a small well or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back into the lagoon if holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil. other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil. Note: For permanent repair measures, lagoon problems require the consultation of an individual experienced in their design and installation. 2) Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages. a) Did the waste reach any surface waters? b) Approximately how much was released and for what duration? c) Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage? 3) Contact appropriate agencies. a) During normal business hours, call your DWQ regional office: 910f 395-3900 . after hours, emergency number:1/800-662-7956_ Your phone call should include: your name, facility, telephone number, the details of the incident, the exact location of the facility, and the location or direction of movement .of the spill, weather and wind conditions, what corrective measures have been taken, and the seriousness of the situation. b) If the spill leaves the property or enters surface waters, call the local EMS 640-6610 c) Instruct EMS to contact the local Health Department: 6 4 0 - 6 6 1.7 d) Contact CES: 6 4 0- 6 6 0 6 local NRCS office: 6 4 2- 2 3 4 8 and your integrator: 4) Implement procedures as advised by DWQ and technical assistance agencies to rectify the damage, repair the system, and reassess the waste management plan to keep problems with release of wastes from happening again. 5) Contact contract pumping and/or irrigation equipment companies: a) _ b) c) 6) Contact dirt moving and/or heavy equipment companies: a) b) EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN PHONE NUMBERS DWQ 9ii -.39 s 390o EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM 911 SWCD 9/0-(04a-a34 NRCS (1/o- tog s-5-?oo -- :This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are Ieaking, overflowing, or running off site.

Pork Producers Assoc. NCSU Agricultural Communications Florida Cooperative Extension OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN lagoon is designed for waste treatment min. odor control. The time required for the pplanned tfluidalevellth to be reached (permanent + 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 method of disposal. center pivot, guns, taken when applying waste water is recognized as an acceptable Methods of application include solid set, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be 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 s::art-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 48.1 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump -out when the fluid level reaches elevation 46.1 or before the fluid depth is lass than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable bacteria). The design temporary storage, less 25 year storm is 282756 cubic feet or 2115018 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. ,..3,..rve..‘-., -..0,-evrte-Li-4-4 ,1)•": 4.-:'S , ..” e . f . - .•: - * • • ....*.• .The• ' . ...? **., . -)......—i1:137Z1111.-... . . 14'..Na...... ;;7** " .141:-..4;:7. 47 - 0 - . ... .... ,-.04.....v., ... :,:- .***.* %••-".............';;•::. 4 .1.••&":841.

Practice Job Sheet: NC-590 Prepared for: 0✓/✓r✓5 ;if'l G By: (s "? �a�s Farm: Tract(s): Date: / WHAT IS NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT? Nutrient Management is applying nutrients from all sources with the right placement, in the right amount, at the right time, and from the right source to minimize nutrient losses to surface and groundwater. This practice is accomplished through development and implementation of a Nutrient Mana=ement Plan, which can be part of a broader Conservation Plan or CNMP that addresses multiple resource concerns. PURPOSE OF NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT A nutrient management plan is intended to accomplish one or more of the following objectives: • To budget, supply, and conserve nutrients for plant production. • To minimize agricultural nonpoint source pollution of surface and groundwater resources. • To properly utilize manure or organic by- products as a plant nutrient source. • To protect air quality by reducing odors, nitrogen emissions (ammonia, oxides of nitrogen), and the formation of atmospheric particulates. • To maintain or improve the physical, chemical, and biological condition of soil. CONTENTS OF THE NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PLAN The following components are included in nutrient management plan specifications typical of more `traditional' fertilizer and manure application methods. When precision ag/variable rate application technology is utilized, see the next section of this Job Sheet for additional guidance on plan requirements. • aerial site photograph(s)/imagery or site map(s), and a soil survey map of the site, • Sufficient soils information —such as dominant soil map until for each planned field —needed to apply nutrients at RYE and Soil Test Report determined rates as appropriate; and to not exceed rates determined by nutrient risk assessment planning criteria. • location of designated sensitive areas and the associated nutrient application restrictions and setbacks, • results of approved risk assessment tools for any necessary evaluations for nitrogen, phosphorus, and erosion losses. • current and/or planned plant production sequence or rotation, • soil, water, compost, manure, organic by- product, and plant tissue sample analyses applicable to the plan. Where non-NCDA soil testing labs are used, nutrient recommendations must be made using NCDA- similar guidelines and methodologies. Note: high levels of soil copper and zinc may be toxic to production crops. Land application of these nutrients must be accordance with NCSU/NCDA crop toxicity guidelines. • Realistic yield goals for the crops planned for nutrient application, NC-590 Job Sheet May 2015 page 1 • Planned nitrogen application rates based on NC Realistic Yield Expectations (RYEs) or sufficiently documented yield records, • The Nitrogen Leaching Index for planned fields, • Planned P & K application rates based on soil test results (see next section where P & K applied through variable rate technology). • listing and quantification of all nutrient sources and form, including starter fertilizer applications and legume -based cover crop mixes. • in accordance with the nitrogen and phosphorus risk assessment tool(s), specify the recommended nutrient application source, timing, amount (except for precision/variable rate applications specify method used to determine rate), and placement of plant nutrients for each field or management unit, and • guidance for implementation, operation and maintenance, and recordkeeping as specified by the CNMP or applicable NC DWQ or NDPES permit. Where orecision/variable rate nutrient application applications are planned and made, some required planning components of the preceding section may be provided by the overall conservation plan. In addition, the following components are required in nutrient management planning. • The geo-referenced field boundary and data collected that was processed and analyzed as a GIS layer or layers to generate nutrient or soil amendment recommendations. • Planned nitrogen application rates based on NC RYEs or sufficiently documented yield records • The Nitrogen Leaching Index for planned fields. • The nutrient recommendation guidance and recommendation equations used to convert the GIS base data layer or layers to a nutrient source material recommendation GIS layer or layers. • Soil testing documentation that crop Phosphorus (P205) and Potassium (K20) nutrient or soil amendment application will be made per soil test results similar to NCDA guidelines. Where P & K will not be applied via variable rate application technology, but by basic GPS guidance, recommended P & K NC-590 Job Sheet May 2015 rates must be provided as specifications prior to application. • Note —where Diammonium phosphate (18-46- 0) is the primary variable rate P fertilizer source applied on legume crops, additional N will likely be needed to achieve RYEs. The plan was developed based on the current NRCS 590 standard and Federal, state, or local regulations or policies. Changes in laws or regulations may require a plan modification. This Job Sheet is a required supplement to the Nutrient Management Plan. NC Permitted Animal Operations: For NC DENR-DWR or NPDES permitted animal operations, the waste utilization portion of the Certified Animal Waste Management Plan (CAWMP) must meet requirements specified by the Permit. The NC 1217 Interagency Group provides guidance on the required minimum elements of a CAWMP. This guidance is found in Sec 1.1 of the latest 1217 Guidance Document, located at: Nitrogen Leaching Index Values Nitrogen Leaching Index values obtained through use of current Soil Hydrologic Grow {SHG)-based LI index maps in Sec II of the NC FOTG or RUSLE 2 field -specific soil loss calculationsare included in the Nutrient Management Plan. SHGs per soil map unit are available through selection of the Soil Data Explorer and Soil Properties and Qualities (then select "Soil Qualities and Features") tabs once an Area of Interest has been defined in NRCS Web Soil Survey. If the Nitrogen Leaching Index > 10 for planned fields, appropriate conservation practices must be included in a conservation plan to prevent nitrogen from leaving the field via surface or subsurface runoff. Below are conservation crop management techniques and practices recommended for mitigation of nitrate losses (practices also documented in conservation plan): page 2 NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT PLAN DEVELOPMENT The nutrient management plan has been developed to meet nutrient application rate criteria for all sources of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium as specified by NRCS 590 Nutrient Management standard criteria. In addition to NCDA Agronomic Division soil test recommendations, or soil test recommendations made through similar guidelines, the plan is based on NC INMC approved values for realistic yield goals, nitrogen factors, phosphorus removal rates, default nutrient values for animal waste, plant availability coefficients for N, P, and K, and animal waste generation volumes where applicable. Approved values are found at: htto://nutrients.soil.ncsu.edulindex.htm Where manure is applied, farm records may also be used through a procedure provided in SB 1217 Interagency Group guidance, available at: htt; '://www.nco_graov/SWCitech/1217committee.ht mi For NC permitted animal operations, planning requirements for Plan "Amendments" (minor modifications) and "Revisions" (Major Modifications) are clarified by SB 1217 Interagency Group Guidance. ADDITIONAL PHOSPHORUS -RELATED PLAN INFORMATION (Applicable when increases in Soil Test P are expected on the planned area) In NC, a field -specific Phosphorus Loss Assessment Tool (PLAT) evaluation is completed in accordance with 590 Nutrient Management standard General Criteria requirements, and phosphorus must be applied in accordance with 590 standard Manure Phosphorus Application Rates. In addition to the basic plan components, plan information on PLAT categorical ratings, P drawdown strategies, and conservation practices to reduce P loss risk is required when increases in Soil Test P are expected on the planned area. Typically, this could occur when manure is consistently applied at Nitrogen -based rates. High levels of phosphorus in the surface soil layer have been linked to increasing risk of P loss through surface runoff and leaching. ❑ Increases in Soil Test P are expected on the planned area (not typical if P application made per soil test results). PLAT Cateriorical Ratings Information When soil test phosphorus continues to increase on a long term basis, PLAT may produce results that require P-based manure application planning and planning for no additional manure P. Conditions that will require P-based or no-P planning will be based on site specific resource conditions, which will facilitate data input into PLAT. PLAT categorical ratings that will require enhanced P application planning are: HIGH: P-based manure application is required (limited to P uptake in harvested crop biomass) VERY HIGH: No additional manure P or starter P application to be specified in nutrient management plan. Phosphorus Drawdown Strategy Information: Implementation of a phosphorus 'drawdown' strategy may be a consequence of PLAT results, or may be requested in order to lower soil test phosphorus levels. Should a reduction in soil test P be desired or necessary, the only currently proven method of substantial P 'drawdown' is to not apply manure - based P and to plant and harvest crops that utilize P currently present in the soil surface. Crop specific estimated annual P removal amounts are available on the NCSU Nutrient Management in NC website: Conservation Practices and Manajement Techniques to Reduce P Loss Potential: Conservation practices, especially those that prevent soil particle detachment and trap sediment at field edges are effective in preventing phosphorus movement from the planned site. Manure application techniques can also be applied to reduce P loss risk. These practices must be included in the conservation plan where determined PLAT risk = HIGH for planned fields. Consult the conservation plan developed in conjunction with the nutrient management plan for information on practices recommended to reduce phosphorus AND nitrogen loss risks. Application management techniques to reduce nutrient loss risk may be prescribed below: NC-590 Job Sheet May 2015 page 3 Long Term Strategy for Reduction of Soil P Levels: As noted in the P drawdown strategy section, the only currently proven method for reducing high levels of soil P is not applying P, paired with producing crops on the planned site that use existing soil P. Where soil P and PLAT evaluations indicate an increasing risk to water quality, substantially reducing soil P levels through crop uptake can take many years of implementation. When P is not applied, and existing soil P is used by crops, eventually, soil will become P deficient. Consult CES or NCDA Regional Agronomy specialists for additional information soil test P reduction timelines. Manure P produced in excess of crop requirements: Consult the nutrient management plan for a quantification of manure generated by the animal feeding operation that may exceed crop P requirements. "Manure Hauler" information All manure waste applied on land owned by or controlled by the Animal Feeding Operation (AFO) owner or operator must be included in the nutrient management plan. The volume difference in total manure waste generated by the AFO and waste applied to land not owned or controlled by the producer must be accounted for in a nutrient management plan. General information on manure waste generated by an AFO to be applied to land not owned or controlled by the AFO owner or operator may be recorded as specified in the NC CNMP Certification Sheet and Documentation Checklist or other supplemental documentation to the nutrient management plan. NRCS CNMP technical criteria require documentation of manure exports off the farm (this can be done below). The AFO owner/operator should provide the third party applicator with a current waste analysis in order to facilitate agronomic crop application of the facility's generated waste. Should land not owned or controlled by the AFO owner or operator be included in a nutrient management plan, the complete plan must meet 590 criteria. Type and Quantity of Animal Feeding Operation (AFO) manure generated by the facility: Quantity of AFO manure generated to be exported off the farm for third party application: RECORDKEEPING Waste reports from the NCDA & CS Agronomic Division, or equivalent, are acceptable sources of information for determining applied manure nutrient amounts for recordkeeping or crop budgeting purposes. Records must be maintained for at least 5 years, or for time and manner required by Permit for animal operations to document plan implementation and maintenance. As applicable, records include: • soil, plant tissue, water, manure, and organic by-product analyses resulting in recommendations for nutrient application, • quantities, analyses and sources of nutrients applied, • dates, and method(s) of nutrient applications, source of nutrients, and rates of application, • weather conditions and soil moisture at the time of application; lapsed time to manure incorporation; rainfall or irrigation event, • crops planted, planting and harvest dates, yields, nutrient analyses of harvested biomass, and crop residues removed, • dates of plan review, name of reviewer, and recommended changes resulting from the review, and • all enhanced efficiency fertilizer products used. Additional records for precision/variable rate sites must include: • maps identifying the variable application source, timing, amount, and placement of all plant nutrients applied, and • GPS-based yield maps for crops where yields can be digitally collected. • Documentation per field nitrogen application rates do not exceed RYE - based recommended rates • Documentation that applied phosphorus and potassium recommendations do not exceed recommended rates specified by soil tests. • For non -variable rate application of P & K, provide applied map with field boundaries indicating source, timing, method, and rate of all applications. • Where 'chlorophyll reader' technology is utilized, application records that nitrogen rates match RYE -based N rates as closely as possible. NC-590 Job Sheet May 2015 page 4 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE The producer is responsible for safe operation and maintenance of this practice, including all equipment. Review the plan periodically to determine if adjustments or modifications to the plan are needed. In NC, animal operations permitting provisions may specify more frequent review periods. Adhere to the following operation and maintenance provisions: • Protect fertilizer and organic by-product storage facilities from weather and accidental leakage or spillage. • Properly calibrate application equipment to ensure uniform distribution of material at planned rates. • Workers should be protected from and avoid unnecessary contact with inorganic fertilizers and organic by-products. Extra caution must be taken when handling ammonia sources of nutrients, or when dealing with organic wastes stored in unventilated enclosures. • The disposal of material generated by the cleaning of nutrient application equipment should be accomplished properly. Excess material should be collected and stored or field applied in an appropriate manner. Excess material should not be applied on areas of high potential risk for runoff or leaching. • Disposal or recycling of nutrient containers should be done according to state and local guidelines or regulations.
