Narrative
The pasture land in this land is control grazed. Approximately 25 percent of the dry matter will be cut
for hay in the control grazing scenario.
The waste in this plan is applied using an Aerway system. Under this type of application system
approximately ninety percent of the actual land may be used.
For Fields A, B, C:
If weather conditions cause a crop failure on the small grain overseed, the amount of PAN applied to the
small grain overseed will be deducted from the following crop.
Fescue will be drilled into the small grain overseed stubble in the early spring of 2015. Waste will be
applied to the fescue during the window of March thru July 15. The fescue will rest during the months of
June through October.
Sorghum Sudan Hay will be drilled into the summer fescue during the month of July and waste will be
applied July through October 31. After the sorghum sudan hay is harvested, the fescue underneath will
be baled for hay.
7-1-2015- The stand of fescue was evaluated. There is approxiamately 65% coverage of fescue due to
hot, dry weather conditions. After the harvest of the sorghum sudan hay, the fescue stand will be
evaluated and replanted if necessary to obtain complete coverage.

The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation. This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of
cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient requirements,
and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure or
other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops. An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each field in
order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure applied is
included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

The Irrigation Application Factors for each field in this plan are shown in the following table. Infiltration rate varies
with soils. If applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system, you must apply at a rate that will not result in
runoff. This table provides the maximum application rate per hour that may be applied to each field selected to
receive wastewater. It also lists the maximum application amount that each field may receive in any one application
event.

N(ITF.• Svmhnl * meanc user entered data.

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage
capacity available at the end of each month of the plan. 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 of the 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.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
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 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).
254354 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: 11/12/2018 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.
254354 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: 11/12/2018 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.
254354 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed: 11/12/2018 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.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
SHEET 1 OF 2
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 60.7 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump —
out when the fluid level reaches elevation 58.8 . This temporary
storage, less 25 yr— 24 hr storm, contains 186464 cubic feet or
1394754 gallons.
M00801211342

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.

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 of temporary storage for:
(1) manure production of animals, (2) excess fresh water storage, (3) rainfall in
excess of evaporation, (4) storage for the 25 year / 24 hour storm for the location,
(5) and, if applicable, an additional "hesvy rain" storage volume for chronic rainfall
events. Allocation for any additional fresh water usage is also included in the
temporary storage. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals
will be fairly constant throughout the 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 staff gauge must be installed in the lagoon that indicates the start pumping and stop
pumping levels. The start pumping level is the maxium liquid level under normal operating
conditions. The stop pumping level is the minimum liquid level under normal
operation to maintain required treatment volume and depth. Pumping can be started
and stopped anywhere 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. However, it is recommended that the lagoon be kept
pumped down as much as possible.
Land application of wastewater is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal.
Methods of application include solid set, center pivot, guns, and traveling guns. Care
should be taken when applying waste to prevent damage to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. It is required that the treatment lagoon be precharged to one-half the treatent volume
or as otherwise specified on the lagoon design drawings before wastes are introduced.
The purpose is to prevent excessive odors during start-up. Precharging 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. The plan recommends
sampling and testing of waste before land application.

3. Begin temporary storage pump -out of the lagoon when the fluid level reaches the
elevation 102.10 as marked by the staff gauge. Stop pump -out when the fluid level
reaches elevation 99.80. This temporary storage, less 25 year / 24 hour storm,
contains 301097 cubic feet or 2252203 gallons.
4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one (1) inch and the
recommended maximum application rate is 0.3 inches 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 or damaged areas 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.

be applied in a manner such that waste will not reach other property and public
rights -of -way.
9. The Clean Water Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters
of the United States. Waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways,
or wetlands by either discharge or by over -spraying. The Department of Environment,
