(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.
® ElLandfill 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.

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-
0 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. .
m Mass burial sites are subject to additional permit conditions (refer to facility's animal
