responsibility for compliance with all applicable surface water, wetlands, groundwater and air
quality standards or for damages to surface waters, wetlands or groundwaters resulting from the
animal operation.
2. The maximum waste level in lagoons/storage ponds shall not exceed that specified in the
facility's CAWMP. At a minimum, maximum waste level for lagoons/storage ponds must not
exceed the level that provides adequate storage to contain the 25-year, 24-hour storm event plus
an additional one (1) foot of structural freeboard except that there shall be no violation of this
condition if: (a) there is a storm event more severe than a 25-year, 24-hour event, (b) the
Permittee is in compliance with its CAWMP, and (c) there is at least one (1) foot of structural
freeboard.
In addition to the above requirements,for new and expanding farms with lagoon and storage pond
designs completed after September 1, 1996, storage must also be provided for the heavy rainfall
factor for the lagoons/storage pond. In case of lagoons/storage ponds in series that are gravity
fed, the 25-year, 24-hour storm event and/or the heavy rainfall factor storage requirement for the
system may be designed into the lowest lagoon/storage pond in the system. However, adequate
freeboard must be designed into the upper lagoons/storage ponds to allow sufficient storage to
prevent the waste level from rising into the structural freeboard while the storm water is draining
into the lowest structure in the system.

4. This General Permit allows for the distribution of up to four(4)cubic yards of manure per visit to
individuals for personal use, The maximum distribution of manure per individual for personal
use is ten(10)cubic yards per year. The Permittee must provide the recipient(s)with information
on the nutrient content of the manure. Distribution of greater quantities must be to individuals or
businesses permitted to distribute the waste, or to be land applied to sites identified in the
Permittee's CAWMP.
The Permittee must inform the recipient(s) of his/her responsibilities to properly manage the land
application of manure. Record keeping for the distribution of manure up to four(4) cubic yards
per visit or ten(10)cubic yards per year to individuals for personal use is not required.
5. The annual permit fee shall be paid by the Permittee within thirty (30) days after being billed by
the Division. Failure to pay the fee accordingly constitutes grounds for revocation of its COC to
operate under this General Permit.
6. Failure of the Permittee to maintain, in full force and effect, lessee and landowner agreements,
which are required in the CAWMP, shall constitute grounds for revocation of its COC to operate
under this General Permit.

expiration date of this General Permit, the Permittee must apply for and obtain a new COC.
Renewal applications must be filed at least 180 calendar days prior to the expiration of the
General Permit.
10. The issuance of a COC to operate under this General Permit does not prohibit the Division from
reopening and modifying the General Permit or COC,revoking and reissuing the General Permit
or COC, or terminating the General Permit or COC as allowed by the appropriate laws,rules, and
regulations.
11. The Director may require any person, otherwise eligible for coverage under this General Permit,
to apply for an individual permit by notifying that person that an application is required.
12. The Groundwater Compliance Boundary is established by 15A NCAC 2L .0102 and 15A NCAC
2T .0103. An exceedance of Groundwater Quality Standards at or beyond the Compliance
Boundary is subject to the requirements-of 15A NCAC 2L and the Division in addition to the
penalty provisions applicable under the North Carolina General Statutes.
13. Upon abandonment or depopulation for a period of four years or more,the Permittee must submit
documentation to the Division demonstrating that all current NRCS standards are met prior to
restocking of the facility.
VI. PENALTIES
1. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this General Permit; the facility's
COC; the facility's CAWMP; and/or applicable state law; may subject the Permittee to an
enforcement action by the Division including but not limited to the modification of the animal
waste management system, civil penalties,criminal penalties and injunctive relief.
2. The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this General Permit. Any permit
noncompliance constitutes a violation of state law and is grounds for enforcement action; for
permit coverage termination, revocation and reissuance, or modification; or denial of a permit
coverage renewal application.
3. It shall not be a defense for a Permittee in an enforcement action to claim that it would have been
necessary to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the
conditions of this General Permit.

amendments,or equivalent regional or state rainfall probability information developed therefrom.
Agronomic rates means the amount of animal waste and/or other nutrient sources to be applied to lands
as outlined in NRCS NC Conservation Practice Standards No. 590 "Nutrient Management" or as
recommended by the NCDA&CS and the North Carolina Cooperative Extension Service at the time of
certification of the Animal Waste Management Plan by the appropriate certified technical specialist.
Amendment to the CAWMP means a change and/or addition to a part(s)of the plan, and requires that the
change and/or addition adhere to current applicable standards. The following are examples of
amendments to the CAWMP:
• In an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping pattern that utilizes 25% or less of the N
generated is considered a plan amendment.Additional acreage needed to facilitate the change in crops
and/or cropping pattern is permissible and considered part of the amendment.
• The addition of winter crops and/or interseeded perennial crops are considered amendments to an
existing CAWMP when the operation does not require additional acreage and/or crops for N
utilization,and does not exceed the 25%criteria stated above.
• When a CAWMP cannot meet N utilization requirements due to land lost to irrigation inefficiency
(useable versus total acres), then the CAWMP may be amended to increase available acreage and/or
change the crop for N utilization.This is the only exception to the 25%N criteria for plan revision.
• Inclusions of emergency action plans, and insect, odor and mortality checklists are considered
CAWMP amendments.
• Including additional acreage for land application beyond what is required in the existing CAWMP is
considered a plan amendment.

in accordance with the existing CAWMP, except for the specific conditions noted in the CAWMP
amendment criteria as previously defined. For an existing CAWMP, a change in crops and/or cropping
pattern that utilizes more than 25% of the N generated by the operation is considered a plan revision. Any
change to an existing CAWMP,whether an amendment or revision, must be signed and dated by both the
producer and a technical specialist for the new CAWMP to be valid. A revision of the CAWMP does not
require recertification.
State Waters means all surface waters,wetlands,groundwaters and waters of the United States located in
the State.
Surface Waters means any stream,river, brook, swamp, lake, sound,tidal estuary, bay, creek, reservoir,

The purpose of this plan is to provide guidelines for carrying out
the routine operation and maintenance work needed to keep this swine
waste management system functioning as planned. Routine maintenance
is considered to be normal good care of the system. Good
maintenance adds to beauty, usefulness, and permanence.
A. Maintenance
The routine maintenance of the lagoon involves the following:
1 . Maintenance of a vegetative cover on the embankment top and
side slopes : Fescue and common bermuda has been established
on these areas . Beginning in 1999 and each year thereafter,
the embankment should be fertilized with 800 pounds of 10-
10-10 per acre to maintain a vigorous stand.
2 . Control of brush and trees on the embankment . This may be
done by mowing, spraying, or chopping, or a combination of
all three. This will need to be done at least once each
year and possibly twice in years favorable to heavy growth
of vegetation.
Maintenance inspections of the lagoon should be made during the
initial filling of the lagoon and at least annually. Items to
be checked should include, as a minimum, the following:
1 , waste Inlet Pipes, Overflow Pipes
a. condition of pipes
(1) separation of joints
(2) cracks or breaks
2 . Pool Area
a. undesirable vegetative growth
b. floating or lodged debris
3 . Embankment
a. settlement, cracking or "jug" holes
b. side slope stability - slumps or bulges
C. erosion and rodent damage
4 . Transfer Pump (not applicable)

B. Operation
Your animal waste management facility was designed for a total
of 1000 sows/animals (topping) . The lagoon contains both
permanent and temporary storage. The permanent storage is not
to be pumped in order to ensure that anaerobic action will
occur. The design includes permanent storage of one cubic foot
per pound of steady state live weight .
The temporary storage portion of the cludes capacity
for the volume of waste produced o r 90 days, the amount of
rainfall in a 25 year 24 hour storm n rainfall in
excess of evaporation. Your facility is designed for 60 days of
temporary storage; therefore, it will need to be pumped every
three months . Begin ump-out of the lagoon when fluid level
reaches elevation dj e.� as marked by permanent markers . Stop
pump-out when the fluid level reaches elevation ?64. 1
The attached waste management plan should be followed. This
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see Attachment B)
before land application. The waste material should be analyzed
before each application cycle to determine its nutrient content .
A soil test of the area of application should be made annually
to insure the waste is applied as reasonably and practically
possible to recommended rates .
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
Environmental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing
this law.

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified
rate to prevent pollution of surface and/or ground water. The plant
nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of
commercial fertilizer required for the crops on 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 implementing your waste utilization plan
order to maximize the fertilizer value of the waste and to ensure that
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 greater than 5 tons
per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land
eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on
saturated soils or on land when the surface is frozen. Either of these
conditions may result in runoff to surface waters . 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 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 .
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 analysis .

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED 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.
2 . There must be documentation in the design folder that the
producer either owns or has a notarized 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 waste, he/she shall provide a
copy of a notarized 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 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 . Actual yields may be used in lieu of realistic yield tables
at the discretion of the planner.
4 . Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding less than 5 ton per
acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at more
than 5 tons but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass
filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG
Standard 393-Filter Strips)
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 N.C. " for guidance. )
7 . Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil
infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur off site 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 surface is frozen.
....................
. . WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN............."..... _ . . . . _�._ _ . .
9 . Animal waste shall be applied on actively growing crops in such a
manner that the crop is not covered with waste to depth that would
prohibit 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 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 or forages breaking dormancy.
11 . Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply
with the following: The outer perimiter 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
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 surface
water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial
provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present (See Standard
393-Filter Strips) .
12 . Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet from
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 .
15 . Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways
or wetlands by a discharge or by overspraying. Animal waste may be
applied to prior converted cropland provided it has been approved
as a land applications site by a "technical specialist" . Animal waste
applied on grassed waterways shall be at agronomic rates and 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 . 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 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
preplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop
season.
21 . Highly visible permanent 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

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Producer: Jimmy Barrow
Location: on Barrows Mill Rd, 732 Barrow's Mill Rd., Jackson NC 27845
Telephone: 252-534-7901
Type Operation: Topping
Number of Animal Units: 1000
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface
and/or ground water. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used to reduce the amount of
commercial fertilizer required for the crops on 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 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 greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be
applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils or on land
when the surface is frozen. Either of these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters. 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
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.
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 analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 21-1.0217
adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.
Amount of Waste Produced Per Year(gallons, tons,etc.)
1000 animals X 751 gal.waste/animal/year= 751,000 gals.waste/year.
Amount of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) Produced Per Year
1000 animals X 2.3 lbs. PAN/animal/year= 2300 lbs. PAN/year. (PAN from N. C.Tech. Guide Std.633)
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
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown and surface
application:

Your facility is designed for 60 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must be removed on
the average of once every 2 months.
In no instance should the volume of waste being stored in your structure exceed Elevation 98.2.
Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service(formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil and
Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining
the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste.
Narrative of Operation:
Waste will be applied to coastal bermuda overseeded in the fall with small
grain on the home farm and to rye and cotton on William Barrow's farm.
REQUIRED 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.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the
producer either owns or has a notarized 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 waste, he/she shall provide a
copy of a notarized 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 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. Actual yields may be used in lieu of realistic yield tables
at the discretion of the planner.
4. Animal waste shall be applied on land eroding less than 5 ton per
acre per year. Waste may be applied to land that is eroding at more
than 5 tons but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass
filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field. (See FOTG
Standard 393-Filter Strips)
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 N.C."for guidance.)
7. Liquid Waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil
infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur off site 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 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 depth that would
prohibit 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 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 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
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 surface
water. This distance may be reduced for waters that are not perennial
provided adequate vegetative filter strips are present(See Standard
393-Filter Strips).
12.Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet from
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.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, drainageways
or wetlands by a discharge or by overspraying. Animal waste may be
applied to prior converted cropland provided it has been approved
as a land applications site by a "technical specialist'. Animal waste
applied on grassed waterways shall be at agronomic rates and 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. 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 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
preplant with no further applications of animal waste during the crop
season.
21. Highly visible permanent 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.
22. Soil tests shall be made every two years and a liquid waste analysis
be taken at least twice each year consistent with waste utilization
plan. Poultry litter shall be tested prior to application. Soil
and waste analysis records shall be kept for five years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets NC regulations.
