IAF Page 1 of 1 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 ofthe 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). 187539 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 3/17/2014 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. 187539 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 3/17/2014 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. 187539 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 3/17/2014 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. 187539 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 3/17/2014 Specification Page 4 Crop Notes The following crop note applies to field(s): P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, P7 Small Grain: CP, Mineral Soil, medium leachable In the Coastal Plain, oats and barley should be planted from October 15-October 30; and rye from October 15-November 20. For barley, plant 22 seed/drill row foot and increase the seeding rate by 5% for each week seeding is delayed beyond the optimum time. See the seeding rates table for applicable seeding rate modifications in the current NCSU "Small Grain Production Guide". Also, increase the initial seeding rate by at least 10% when planting no -till. Oats should be planted at 2 bushels/acre and rye at 1-1 1/2 bushels/acre. Plant all these small grains at 1-1 1/2" deep. Adequate depth control is essential.

Apply no more than 30 lbs/acre N at planting. Phosphorus and potash recommended by a soil test can also be applied at this time. The remaining N should be applied during the months of February -March. The following crop note applies to field(s): P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, P6, P7 Bermudagrass: CP, Mineral Soil, Moderately Well Drained. Adaptation: Well -adapted. 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.

When selecting multiple methods indicate a primary versus secondary option. Methods other than those listed must be approved by the State Veterinarian. Primary Secondary Routine Mortality El El El E U El El El El El El El El n 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 opiniont.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 auldance. • 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 time required for the planned fluid Ievel to be reached may vary due to soil conditions,flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system' 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 irrjgation. Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent runoff from the field or damage to crops. ] it is stronqly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre- �harged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during ctart up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entaring the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should czvered with effluent at all times. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see Attachment B) oefore land application. 3. Begin pump -put o! the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva- tion 45.8 as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump -out when tne fluid level reaches elevation 43.3 or before fluid depth is less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable \ 4. The recommended maximum amount\to apply per irrigation is ore (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0 inch per hour. 5.

SPECIFICATIONS FORCONSTRUCTON OF MOTE OE TREATMENT LAGOONS Clearing: All trees and brush shall be removed from the construction area before excavating fill i will b d e ore any excava ng or fis started. Stumps wi e remove within the area of the foundation of the embankment and fill areas and all excavated areas. All stumps and roots exceeding one (1) inch in diameter shall be, removed to a minimum depth of one 41) foot. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The foundation area shall be loosened thoroughly before placement of embankment material. Cut-off Trench: A cut-off trench (when specified) shall be installed as shown in the plans. Construction: ------------- Construction of excavated and earthfill areas shall be performed to the neat lines and grades as planned. Deviations from this will require prior approval of the SCS. Earthfill shall not be placed in standing water and reasonable compaction of the fills shall be performed by the construction equipment or sheeps-foot roller during placement. The embankment of the :agoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials. Construction of fill heights shall include ten (10) percent for settlement. To protect against seepage, when areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will need to be excavated a minimum of one (1) foot below grade and backfilled and compacted with a suitable material (ie-CL,SC,CH). Refer to the soils investigation information in the plans for special considerations. Precautions should be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. Vegetation: ----------- All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the planned type of vegetationas soon as possible after construction.

Emergency Action Plan This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operations are leaking, overflowing, or running off the 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 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 form the waste distribution system: • pipes and sprinklers: O stop recycle (flushing system) pump 20 stop irrigation pump O close valves to eliminate further discharge ® separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow • flush system, houses, solids separators: 10 stop recycle (flushing system) pump OO stop irrigation pump ® 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 leaks: • 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: (910)395-3900; after hours, emergency number: 1-800-858-0368. 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: 296-2160. c) Instruct EMS to contact the local Health Department: 296-2130. -2- d) Contact CES: 296-2143 local NRCS office: 296-2120 and your integrator: Cti i ri/fs 1"m 1is eots - • 3 / % 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) Av r n, ThrS 3) l , i �6 %C b) £I 5"" 3-7 0/ c) -3- Insect Control Checklist for Animal Operations Source Cause -HMI's to Control Insects Site Specific Practices Feed storage • Accumulations of feed residues Q Reduce moisture accumulation within and around immediate perimeter of feed storage areas by ensuring drainage is away liom site and/or providing adequate containment (e.g., covered bin for brewer's grain and s►milar high ►moisture grain iFiroducts) Ian-' Inspect for and remove or break up accumulated solids in filter strips around feed storage as needed Animal holding areas • Accumulations of animal wastes and feed wastage O Eliminate low areas that trap moisture along fences and other locations where waste accumulates and disturbance by animals is minimal O Maintain fence rows and filter strips around animal holding areas to minimize accumulations of wastes (i.e., inspect for and remove or break up accumulated solids as needed) 1)ry manure • Accumulations of animal O Remove spillage on a routine basis (e.g., handling systems wastes 7- to l0-day interval during summer; 15- to 30-day interval during winter) where manure is loaded for land application or disposal O Provide for adequate drainage around manure stockpiles • O inspect for and remove or break up accumulated wastes in filter strips around stockpiles and manure handling areas as needed For more information contact: Cooperative Extension Service, Department of Entomology, Box 7613, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC 27695-7613.
