Primary Secondary 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. 0/ 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 — 3— Zc — z�t Signature of Farm Owner/ ana Date a Signature f Technical Sp i .iat 0ate WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN Goldsboro Hog Farms, Inc. Tuesday, March 18,2014 Updated 311912014 Producer: Elsie Herring Farm Name : Elsie and Nick Herring Nursery 270 Alum Springs Road Mt.Olive,NC 28365 Telephone# : (919)658-5252 Type of Operation : wean to Feeder Swine Number of Animals : 3200 pigs design capacity Application Method: Irrigation The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the crops in the fields where waste is to be applied. This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as the limiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle. Annual soil tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be balanced for realistic yields of the crop 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 contents 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 avaialable water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre-cautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or 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 the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this is the manner in which. you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to inject the waste in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating waste are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements 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 ananlysis. This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown, soil type and suface application.

Acres show in each of the preceeding tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filter strips along ditches, odd areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total acres in the fields listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres shown in the tables. NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nurturient rich and will require precautionary measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce approximately 243.2 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge. See the attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids. The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 5.92 months. In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure be within 1.54 feet of the top of the dike. If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsiblity of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of Nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

Page 4 NARRATIVE OF OPERATION This plan is written based on a wetted acres determination done by Star Maready. Field number two is not needed to meet the nutrient budget needs for this farm. Any crops listed for field two may be used for pumping as needed. The (lbs AW N per acre) shown in column six of table one will be used for whatever crops are on the field two at the time of pumping. This WUP was revised to update the plan on 3/18/14. All information was provided by grower and from the last plan written by Billy Houston. Page 5 PLANS & 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 assessment of civil penalties of$10,000 per day by the Division of Water Quality 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 to properly dispose of 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 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 Stantard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from the irrigation field. 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 NRCS Technical Reference - Environment file for guidance.) *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 conditions conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application. 8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the 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. 10. Waste nutrients 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 a crop on bare soil. 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 Page 6 and from any perennial stream or river(other that an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (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 landownwer. 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 discharge or by over-spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted croplands 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, except when applied at agronomic rates and 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. 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. *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 as a preemergence with no other 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 fpr waste storage ponds. 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 element. 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 for optimum crop production amd maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) 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 Department of Page 7 Agriculture regulations. * Liquid Systems Page 8 'NAME OF FARM: Elsie and Nick Herring Nursery OWNER/ MANAGER AGREEMENT I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specifications and the operation and maintenance precedures estalished in the approved animal waste utilization.plan for the farm named above.

DATE: Zb pE( DATE: NOTE: SEE ATTACHED WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN COMMENTS' SHEET 1 OF 2 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN ------------------------------ This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and 180 days of temporary storage. The time required for the planned fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the system. The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for: ( 1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also included is storage for the 25 year - 24 hour storm for the location. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to 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 at the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth. 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 waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal. Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation. Care should be taken when applying 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 start-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 temporary storage pump-out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches the elevation 49.8 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump- out when the fluid level reaches elevation 47.8 . This temporary storage, less 25 yr- 24 hr storm, contains 39194 cubic feet or 293170 gallons. SHEET 2 OF 2 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. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details. 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. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and public right-of-ways. 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. 07/22/94 16:08 %29102962122 USDA SCS 001 P. O.

SHEET 1 OF 2 SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF WASTE TREATMENT LAGOONS ---------------------------------------------------------- FOUNDATION PREPARATION: ----------------------- The foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be cleared of trees, logs, stumps, roots, brush, boulders,sod and rubbish. Satisfactory disposition will be made of all debris. The topsoil from the lagoon and pad area should be stripped and stockpiled for use on the dike and pad areas. After stripping, the foundation area of the lagoon embankment and building pad shall be thoroughly loosened prior to placing the first lift of fill material to get a good bond. EXCAVATION AND EARTHFILL PLACEMENT: ----------------------------------- The completed excavation and earthfill shall conform to the lines, grades, and elevations shown on the plans. Earthfill material shall be free of material such as sod, roots, frozen soil, stones over 6 inches in diameter, and other objectionable material. To the extent they are suitable, excavated materials can be used as fill. The fill shall be brought up in approximately horizontal layers not to exceed 9 inches in thickness when loose and prior to compaction. Each layer will be compacted by complete coverage with the hauling and spreading equipment or standard tamping roller or other equivalent method. Compaction will be considered adequate when fill material is observed to consolidate to the point that settlement is not readily detectible. NOTE THE SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT OF LINERS IN THE LINER SECTION OF THIS SPECIFICATION. The embankment of the lagoon shall be installed using the more impervious materials from the required excavations. Construction of fill heights shall include 5 percent for settlement. Dikes over 15 feet in height and with an impoundment capacity of 10 acre-feet or more fall under the jurisdiction of the NC Dam Safety Law. The height is defined as the difference in elevation from the constructed height to the downstream toe of the dike. Precautions shall be taken during construction to prevent excessive erosion and sedimentation. LINER: THE MINIMUM REQUIRED THICKNESS SHALL BE 1.5 ft. ------ ------------------------------------------------- NOTE: LINERS (PARTIAL OR FULL) ARE REQUIRED WHEN THE ATTACHED SOILS INVESTIGATION REPORT SO INDICATES OR WHEN UNSUITABLE MATERIAL IS ENCOUNTERED DURING CONSTRUCTION. A TYPICAL CROSS SECTION OF THE LINER IS INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN WHEN LINERS ARE REQUIRED BY THE SOILS REPORT. When areas of unsuitable material are encountered, they will be over- excavated below finish grade to the specified depth as measured perpendicular to the finish grade. The foundation shall be backfilled as specified to grade with a SCS approved material (ie - CL,SC,CH) . REFER TO THE SOILS INVESTIGATION INFORMATION IN THE PLANS FOR SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS. SHEET 2 OF 2 Soil liner material shall come from an approved borrow area. The minimum water content of the liner material shall be optimum moisture content which relates to that moisture content when the soil is kneaded in the hand it will form a ball which does not readily separate. Water shall be added to borrow as necessary to insure proper moisture content during placement of the liner. The moisture content of the liner material shall not be less than optimum water content during placement. The maximum water content relates to the soil material being too wet for efficient use of hauling equipment and proper compaction. Proper compaction of the liner includes placement in 9 inch lifts and compacted to at least 90 percent of the maximum ASTM D698 Dry Unit Weight of the liner material. When smooth or hard, the previous lift shall be scarified and moistened as needed before placement of the next lift. The single most important factor affecting the overall compacted perme- ability of a clay liner, other than the type of clay used for the liner, is the efficient construction processing of the compacted liner. The sequence of equipment use and the routing of equipment in an estab- lished pattern helps assure uniformity in the whole placement and compaction process. For most clay soils, a tamping or sheepsfoot roller is the preferable type of compaction equipment. The soil liner shall be protected from the discharge of waste outlet pipes. This can be done by using some type of energy dissipator(rocks) or using flexible outlets on waste pipes. Alternatives to soil liners are synthetic liners and bentonite sealant. When these are specified, °additional construction specifications are included with this Construction Specification. CUTOFF TRENCH: -------------- A cutoff trench shall be constructed under the embankment area when shown on a typical cross section in the plans. The final depth of the cutoff trench shall be determined by observation of the foundation materials. VEGETATION: All exposed embankment and other bare constructed areas shall be seeded to the planned type of vegetation as soon as possible after construc- tion according to the seeding specifications. Topsoil should be placed on areas of the dike and pad to be seeded. Temporary seeding or mulch shall be used if the recommended permanent vegetation is out of season dates for seeding. Permanent vegetation should be established as soon as possible during the next period of approved seeding dates. REMOVAL OF EXISTING TILE DRAINS ------------------------------- When tile drains are encountered, the tile will be removed to a minimum of 10 feet beyond the outside toe of slope of the dike. The tile trench shall be backfilled and compacted with good material such as SC, CL, or CH.

OLIVE NC. 28365 Telephone: 919-658-5252 Type Operation: New Wean to Feeder Swine Number of Animals: 3200 . 00 pigs (Design Capacity) STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon APPLICATION METHOD: Irrigation The waste from your animal. facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water_and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required -for the crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied. Phis waste utilization plan uses. nitrogen ..as the jimiting nutrient. Waste should be analyzed before each application cycle: Annual soil / \;J . tests are strongly encouraged so that all plant nutrients can be _ balanced for realistic yields of the crop 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: 1 . 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 . 2 . Soil types are important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding capacities . 3 . Normally waste shall be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter strips are established. 4 . Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations .. PaeiP a 'I ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN 5 . Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6 . To maximize the .value of the nutrients for crop-production . .and to reduce the potential 'for.p6llutio', the waste should be applied to a. growing crop or applied -not more .than 30 days prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or disking.will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are not the same. The estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste is based on typical nutrient content for this type of facility. Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility. In some cases you may want to have plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to -be applied. Provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the- optimum range for specific -:rop production. 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 ' (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 3200 pigs x .40 tons waste/pigs/year = 1280 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 3200 pigs x .48 lbs PAN/pigs/year = 1536 lbs . PAN/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.

In interplanted fields (i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermudagrass) , forage must be removed through grazing, hay and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine inches . Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches. Infields where small .grain, etc, is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain -to reach maturity, especially late in the season (i .e. April or May) . Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere with stand of bermudagrass. This loss of stand . will result -in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized. Rather ;than cutting small grain for hay or silage just before heading as is the normal situation, you are encouraged to cut the small grain earlier. You may want to consider harvesting hay or silage two to three times during the season, depending on time small grain is planted in the fall . The ideal time to interplant small grain, etc, is late September or early October. Drilling is recommended over broadcasting. Bermudagrass should be grazed or mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results .

SLUDGE APPLICATION: - 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. Your production facility will produce approximately 243 .2 pounds. of plant available nitrogen per year in the ludge. If you remove the sludge every -5 years, you' will Piave approximately 1216 C- pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this.

If you .apply -the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 9 . 728 acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 2596 depending on your sludge waste analysis_, soil types, realistic yields, and application methods . APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate. of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff .or ponding occurs . This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content, soil. structure, soil texture, water droplet size, and organic solids . The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop. Tf surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, t is the responsibility of the producer and irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate--the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2 . Failure to apply the recommended rates and - Pam- 7 ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN- amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

A scale drawing of the proposed irrigation system which includes hydrant locations,pipelines,thrust block locations and buffer areas where applicable. 2. Assumptions and computations for determining total dynamic head and horsepower requirements. 3. Computations used to determine all mainline and lateral pipe sizes. .4. Sources and/or calculations used for determining application rates. 5. Computations used to determine the size of thrust blocks and illustrations of all thrust block configurations required in the system 6. Manufacturer's specifications for the irrigation pump,traveler and sprinkler(s). 7. Manufacturer's specifications for the irrigation pipe and/or USDA-NRCS standard for IRRIGATION WATER CONVEYANCE. 8. The information required by this form are the minimum requirements. It is the responsibility of the designer to consider all relevant factors at a particular site and address them as appropriate. 9. Irrigation pipes should not be installed in lagoon or storage pond embankments without the approval of the designer. NOTE: A buffer strip of 25'or wider must be maintained between the limits of the irrigation system and all perennial streams and surface waters per NC Statutes. Sheet6 Narrative of Irrigation System Operation This irrigation design is based on the use of an Reel Rain 2.5"traveller with a .81" ring nozzle, operated at 50psi gun pressure for all pulls. The system will be powered by and existing 10hp Berkeley B1.5TPSL and a 5hp B1.5TPL pump mounted in series. This combination will provided the needed head and flowrate. The pumping unit should contain, at a minimum a low and high pressure shutoff, starter/heater protection, and a timer. Producer has received copies of.owners manuals for the reel used. All R&M, winterization, and operation guidance contained in the manuals should be followed. Information has been included as part of this design on calibration of equipment. This farm was sited in 1994,which requires it to adhere to .0200 rule setback criteria. This includes a 100' setback from wells, 200'setback.from dwellings not owned by the producer, and 25' setback from blueline streams. All applicable setbacks have been noted on the working drawing.

You should NOT wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make very 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: OO stop recycle(flushing system)pump ® stop irrigation pump OO close valves to eliminate further discharge ® separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow Page 1 • flush system,houses, solids separators: OO stop recycle(flushing system)pump ® 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: 9k-946-6481; after hours, emergency number: 800-858-0368 or 919-733-3942.

AMIC - November 11, 1996, page 2 MERGENCY ACTION PLAN PHONE NUMBERS Division of Water Resources (DWR) Emergency Management System (EMS) Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) Natural Resources Conservation Service (MRCS) 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: 1) Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam. 2) Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate. 3) Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately. 4) Call a pumping contractor. 5) Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon. b. Runoff from waste application field-actions include: 1) Immediately stop waste application. 2) Create a temporary diversion to contain waste. 3) Incorporate waste to reduce runoff. 4) Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that caused the runoff. 5) Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred. c. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers-action include: 1) Stop recycle pump. 2) Stop irrigation pump. 3) Close valves to eliminate further discharge. 4) Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps. 1 November 23, 2016 d. Leakage from flush systems, houses,solid separators-action include: 1) Stop recycle pump. 2) Stop irrigation pump. 3) Make sure no siphon occurs. 4) Stop all flows in the house,flush systems, or solid separators. 5) Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps. e.
