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.
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 the 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 content 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 available water holding capacities.
Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at more 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.
Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the surface is frozen. Either of these
conditions may in runoff to the surface waters which is not allowed under DWQ regulations.
Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems.
To maximize the value of the nutrients for crops production and to reduce the potential for pollution,
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 applications 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
Page 2
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 the crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for specific crop production. This
waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H .0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

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.
* Rye should be 'planted by October 15. The last application of animal waste is to be applied to the bermuda prior to
August 31. An application of 50 lbs/ac. of Pan may be applied between September 15 and October 30. An additional
50 Ibs/ac. of PAN may be applied in February -March. A harvest is required prior to heading or April 7, which ever
comes first.
Page 3
The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements. In the future,
regulations may require farmers in some parts of North Carolina to have a nutrient management plan that
addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields (Le. 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. In fields where small grain
etc. is to be removed for hay or silage, care should be exercised not to let small grain to reach materity,
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 the 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 the 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.
Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning
may occur in livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended.
Acres shown in the tables are considered to be the usable acres excluding required buffers, filters 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 field listed may, and most likely will be, more than the acres
shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste.
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 2592 lbs. of plant available
nitrogen per year in the sludge.
If you remove sludge every 5 years you will have approximately 12960 lbs. of PAN to utilize. Assuming
you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300.Ibs/acre you will need
acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lbs. of nitrogen per acre you will need
acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estmates of the PAN and the land needed. Actual
requirements could vary by 25% depending on the 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
Page 4
of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of
the crop.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsibility of the producer and
irrigation designer to ensure that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrrigate the acres shown in tables.
Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan
invalid.
The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
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.
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 waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste , he/she shall provide a copy 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 facility to
secure anupdate 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, climatic conditions, and level
of management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application 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 that is eroding at 5 or more tons, but Tess than 10 tons per acre per
year providing grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG
standard 393 - Filter Strip).
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" for guidance.)
7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate that runoff
does not occur offsite or to the 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 or flies.
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. The potential for salt damage
from animal waste should also be considered.
10. Waste nutrients shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a
high potentual 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 residenrial property boundary
and from any perennial stream or river (other than 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).
Page 7
REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS
(continued)
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 he landowner.
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 wetlands
provided they 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 vegtation 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 evidences 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 illigal 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 vegetation 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 markersshall be installed to mark the top and the 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.
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 soil shall be monitored and alternative crop sites
shall be used when these metal approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted for
optimum crop production and 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 regulations.

Subject: Request for: New COC for Philip Page Farm
Facility Number AWS430003
- Harnett County
Dear Mr. Joshi:
This is a request for a new COC to cover a change in animal numbers, and type of operation. Mr.
Page would like to convert his farm from a 5880 feed to finish operation to a 7200 gilt/grower
operation. Information concerning this operation is as follows:
(Steady State Live Weight)
5880 feed to finish x 135 lbs. = 793,800 lbs.
Convert to a 7200 gilt/grower operation:
793,800 lbs. (SSLW)/110.25 lbs. = 7200 gilt/grower operation
Enclosed are documents to support this change in animal numbers and type of operation.
1. Narrative of Operation
2. Animal Waste Management Plan Certification
3. Waste Utilization Plan
If you have any/questions concerning this request please call me at 910-596-5749.
Sincerely,
G. Glenn Clifton

Phillip Page Farm Special Project Narrative
This is a special project where Phillip Page in Harnett County will be growing replacement gilts
for Prestage Farms sow herd. Presently the farm is permitted for a 5880 head feeder to finish
operation (AWS430003). Mr. Page would like to change operation type and numbers to a 7200
head gilt/grower operation. The estimated average SSLW has been calculated to be
approximately 80 lbs. The operation will be on a 7 week cycle. Animals will enter the farm at
approximately 45 lbs, and will leave the farm at approximately 115 lbs. Animals will be stocked
on a Wednesday and will leave the farm on a Wednesday or Th'ursday 7 weeks later. After a
week of down time getting ready for the next group, animals will be stocked the following
Wednesday. This cycle will take place throughout the eight barn operation.

Mortality Management Methods
Indicate which method(s) will be implemented.
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
a El 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.
El El Landfill at municipal solid waste facility permitted by NC DEQ under GS 15A NCAC
13B .0200.
ElRendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S. 106-168.7.
71 El 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.
El El 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).
Q El Arty method which, in the professional opiniornof 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).
aMass 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.

'
The designed temporary storage ccmsists of 180 days storage f
(1) waste from �ahimals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporationor:Al
included is storage for the 25 year - 24 hour- storm for the location.,
so
The volume of Waste generated from i t^

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, abenmanent 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 e
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 t ^ '
runoff or leaching, ' r er o apply waste without
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 c^ops.
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 '
n
flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water should Complete,
be used for flushing after initial filling.
2. Thwattached waste utilization plan'shall be followed /his
plan recommends sampling and testing of wastc (see attachment)
befbre land application.
Begin temporary storage pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level
reach
'es the elevation 51.3 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump--.-
w�en the fluid level reaches elevation 49.0 . This �emporary
storage, less 25 yr 24 hr storm, contains 148259 cubic fpe`t or
1108977 gallons.

5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the
lagoon mowed,annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed
to maint4in a vigorous stand.
6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
establish in vegstation.
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 adjaceny to perennial streams. Waste will
not be applied in opcn ditches. Jo 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
poIlutants 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.
