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
El E 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.
nRendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S.. 106-.168:7.
ElEl Complete incineration according to 02 NCAC 52C .0102.
El 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.
D El In the case of dead poultry only, placing in a disposal pit of a size and design approvedby the
NC Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (G.S. 106-549.70).
Any method which, in the professional opinionof the State Veterinarian, wouldmake possible
the salvage of part of a dead animal's value without endangering human or animal health.
(Written approval by the State Veterinarian mustbe 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 pcirmit).
In the event of imminent threat of a disease emergency, the State Veterinarian may enact
ddit'anal,temporary pr• e•ueasures for disposal according to G.S. 106-399.4.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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 landeroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special precautions, waste may be
applied to land eroding at pp to 10`ions per acre per year. Do not apply waste on saturated soils or on land
when the surface isfrozen: 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
diskingwill 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 2H.0217
adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.
�G} f Vy
�V

Amount of Waste Produced Per Year(gallons, tons,etc.)
500 animals X 751 gal. waste/animal/year = 375,500 gals. waste/year.
Amount of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) Produced Per Year
500 animals X 2.3 lbs. PAN/animal/year = 1150 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:

* This N is from animal waste only. If nutrients from other sources such as commercial fertilizer are applied,
they must be accounted for. N must be based on realistic yield expectation.
NOTE: The applicator is cautioned that P and K may be over applied while meeting the N requirements.
This plan only addresses Nitrogen. When using soybeans in the rotation 20 Qounds of N should be reduced
from the following year's crop.
NOTE: 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.

This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant
available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above.
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 ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), 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 reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately interfere
with stand of bermudagrass. This Toss 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 cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

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, Teaks, 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.

(Dr. Woodlief — Request for Permit, Paul Lassiter, June 2, 2015 Page 2)
The land, proposed distribution area, and facility are owned by the grower, and therefore no
lease agreement is required or included.
• The annual amount of mortality = JJ,718.8 pounds for the operation.
• Each composting bin can process m 10,000-Ibs on average per bin cycle.
• 223 days - 10 stage, 35 days — 2nd stage; for a combined 258 days cycle per bin.
• 365 days per year and 258 days per cycle which •+ 1.32 cycles per year.
• 10.000-lbs per bin per cycle and 1.32 cycles per year or 13.195 Ibs. per bin per year.
• Based on that, (17,718.8 Ibs. and 13,19 .6 Ibs. per bin per year) with a 25% safety
factor, a minimal facility would need at least 1.68 bins.
• ACT has, therefore designed this facility with 2_ bins (10 X 12).
• 2 —11A stage or primary bins, and 1 — 2nd stage or secondary bins.
We are therefore proposing a 3 bin system and a detached drystack storage structure that will
handle two months of finished composting material for final curing.
The above mortality is based on a normal average mortality rate of 4.5% for the sow operation.
All of the mortality is the product of the operation. The finished compost will be applied directly
to or otherwise kept strictly on the farm for which this permit is being requested.
As noted in the ACT Operations and Maintenance Manual, temperature monitoring shall be
done a minimum of 10 days/ month; and until such time as ACT and the grower are comfortable
with the performance and consistency of the temperature data collected and the grower
chooses to have annual pathogen tested completed. ACT will Provide the Brower with a 36"
stainless steel temperature probe for accurate data recording.
The method of aeration is forced aeration with each bin having its own compressor. The
compressor will deliver air to the bin continuously while the bin is in use.
As with all our facilities, we raise the elevation of the pad at least 12" above the surrounding final
grade to control and prevent water run-on. The only water run-off is from the roof structure and
the front entrance pad.
By design, there is no contamination of run-off water with waste water. All waste water is
captured, biologically treated, and recycled for use in first stage processing. This facility is
designed to prevent the formation and release of either runoff or leachate. All the !machete is
captured through the drains in the front and back of each bin.
Furthermore, following the procedures for first and second stage composting, all filled bins will
be capped with clean sawdust to reduce and control flies. The walls and doors for each primary
bin are designed to prevent rodents and vermin from coming into contact with the composting
material.

(Dr. Woodlief — Request for Permit, Paul Lassiter, June 2, 2015 Page 3)
This project is located near the front of the farm's operation; traffic into the farm must pass by
the farm and the maintenance areas. Security is already in place on the farm and uncontrolled
public access is not probable.
Pursuant to State Statutes 106-403 and 143-215.10C and NCAC 52C.0102, the applicant is
advised of the following Conditions and Stipulations:
1. All North Carolina solid waste, air, water quality, and other applicable regulations have been
met in the site development and operation of the system as the applicant has involved the
NRCS technical staff in planning, developing, and implementation of this project.
2. Only swine will be processed in this facility; NO bovine, caprine, ovine or cervid species shall
be processed.
3. The mortality to be processed shall originate only from the identified premises and the finished
product shall be used solely on agricultural operations owned, and operated by the permitee.
4. The final product of the process shall be stored, treated and utilized in accordance with all
federal, state, and local laws, regulations, and permit requirements; the final product shall not
be sold without first informing the NCDA&CS, Veterinary Division of this change in the permit
and secondly obtaining the appropriate permits from DWQ.
5. Temperatures shall be within NRCS guidelines to reach a minimum of 131 degrees F within 5
days of filling the unit (typically above 150°F within 24 hours of filling the bin) and remain at
least at 131 degrees F for a minimum of 5 consecutive days to maintain the composting
process and reduce pathogen load (typically above 150°F for 21 consecutive days in first stage
and again above 150°F for an additional 10 days in second stage). ACT will provide Paul
Lassiter with a 36° stainless steel temperature probe for accurate temperature recording.
6. Dead animals are not to be removed from composting until all flesh, internal organs, and other
soft tissue are fully decomposed, then removed, ground, and retumed to forced aeration for an
additional 10-15 days for complete composting and pathogen destruction.
7. The proposed facility shall have the following minimum setback requirements':
• 100-foot buffer between all property lines and compost areas — Confirmed.
• 100-foot buffer between all wells and compost areas, except for monitoring wells —
Confirmed
• 50-foot buffer between perennial streams/rivers and compost areas - Confirmed
• 200 ft buffer from all dwellings and compost areas as long as the facility is considered
