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 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.
Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S. 106-168.7.
ElEl Complete incineration according to 02 NCAC 52C .0102.
El Q 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(l In the case of dead poultry only, placing in a disposal pit of a size and design approved by the
El NC Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (G.S. 106-549.70).
El El Any method which, in the professional opinionsof 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.

The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a sr a ; .d rate to prevent pollution
of surface water and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the '.ell waste should be used
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the cr::, s in the fields where the waste
is to be applied.
This waste utilization plan uses nitrogen as tai. ;imiting nutrient. Waste '":iiould 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:
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 il.+gyp an 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 lem .an 5 tons per acre per
year. Waste may be applied to land eroding at 5 or r:ore teas 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 suriaice waters which is not allowed
under DWQ regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
problems.
6. Tor ixi - of the nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential
for pa ,n, r_r,._ id be applied to a growing crop or applied not more than
al days ,prior to pia, :)p or forages breaking dormancy. Injecting the waste or
disking will conserve i,..:.;; ,: and reduce odor problems.

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 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 cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

The waste u i!ization pan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at
agronomic rates. The sludge will be nutrient rich and will require precautionary measures to
prevant over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility will produce
approximately 1267.2 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon
sludge based or, «,e rates of accumulation listed above.
If you remove the sluc,ye every 5 years, you will have approximately 6336 pounds of plant
available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the
rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 21 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge
to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 50.688 acres of land. Please note that these
are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values
may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application
Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific
application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal.
APPLICATIONa OF WASTE LW ie �:IGATIGN:
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 ganic 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.
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
irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
*This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount
of nitrogen allowed for the crop is not over applied. In many situations, the application
amount shown cannot be applied because of the nitrogen limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for >180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 6 months. In no instance should the volume of the
waste stored in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of
freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm.
It is the responsibility of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment
is operated properly to apply the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure to apply
the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.
Call your technical specialist after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste.

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.
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 Utilization Plan
when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of
application, recieving crop type, or available land.
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 USD)6k, NRCS Field Office Technical Guide 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 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).
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.

Abstract
Crabgrass (Digitaria species) is a summer annual grass that could provide high
quality grazing for ruminant livestock in the mid -Atlantic region of the United
States. However, little is known about managing crabgrass as a forage in this
region. This study was designed to evaluate the effect of N fertilizer rate and
application timing on the yield of crabgrass. Nine N rates ranging from 0 to 400
Ib/acre were applied as a single application at seeding or as a split application,
one-half at seeding and one-half after the first cutting. Averaged over years, first
harvest yield ranged from 800 to 4000 Ib/acre and increased as N rate increased
with maximum dry matter production occur ring at 255 Ib of N per acre. Second
harvest yield was greatest when N was applied as a split application. This effect
was most pronounced with ample rainfall. Total dry matter production, averaged
over years, ranged from 3000 to 9000 Ib/acre and increased as N rate increased
with maximum dry matter production occurring at 305 Ib of N per acre. Results
support current recommendation:: for summer annual grasses of applying N at 60
to 80 Ib/acre at seeding followed by N at 40 to 60 ib/acre after each harvest and
suggest that crabgrass could be managed in a similar manner.
Introduction
Crabgrass (Digitaria species) is a warm -season annual grass that is
commonly considered a weed due to its prolific growth rate and spreading
morphology. However, these species possess significant potential for supplying
high quality summer forage for grazing livestock in the transition zone between
subtropical and temperate reginrs of the United States. Research conducted in
Oklahoma demonstrated that improved crabgrass is capable of producing 8000
to 10000 lb of DM per acre (3). In addition to high yields, crabgrass is also more
digestible than other commonly used warm -season grasses (3).
Although crabgrass is already a component of r_lost cool- and warm -season
pastures in the northern transition zone (1), no research has evaluated its
potential as summer forage. In addition, no i' formation is available on tb,:
productivity or management of improved c ',grass in this region. This study
was designed to evaluate the effect of P? fer riiization rate and application timing
on the yield of improved crabgrass.

'Red River' crabgrass (Digitaria cLaris
(2.etz.) Koel) was established on 7 May 2.001,
16 April 20°2, and 15 April 2oc3 near
Blackstone, VA (Fig. i). The soil series for all
three years was a Wedowee sandy loam (fine,
'icsolinitic, thermic Typic Kanhapludults).
Initial soil nutrient levels are shown in Table
1. k conventional seedbed was prepared and
plots were seeded using a cultipacker type
seeder and a seeding rate of 6.o lb/acre.
Nitrogen was applied at o, 5o, ioo, 150, 200,
250, 300, 350, and 400 lb/acre either as a
single application of ammoniumnitrateat
seeding or as a split application, one-half at
seeding and one-half after the first cutting.
Nitrogen treatments applied at seeding were
incorporated into the seedbed by disking once
with a finishing disk. All plots also received
too lb/acre of P205 and 300 lb/acre of K20
before seeding. Bentazon [3-(1-methylethyl)-1H-2,1,3-benzothiadiazin-4(3 -
one 2,2-dioxide] herbicide was applied at a rate of o.50 lb ai/acre on 31 May
2001 and o.75 lb ai/acre on ii June 2001 for the control of yellow nutsedge
(Cyperus esculentus L.). Bentazon and carfentrazone-ethyl{Ethyl alpha, 2-
dichloro-5-[4-(difluoromethyl)-4,5-dihydro-3-methyl-5-oxo-1H-1, 2,4-triazol-I-
yl]-4-fluorobenzenepropanoate} herbicides were applied at a rate of o.75 and
0.23 lb ai/acre respectively, on 3o May 2002 and 6 June 2oo3,to control
broadleaf weeds.

The experimental design was u : plete block with a two -factor,
(N rate and single versus split applic..::on) iacLorial treatment arrangement and
four replications. Plot size was 9 x 20 ft. Plots were harvested on 5 July and 31
August 2001; a July, 15 Augus' id 3 October 2002; and 11 July,14 August,
and 22 October 2003 by clipping 1e strip through the center of each
plot using a self-propelled sickle bar-'lyp e iorie harvester (Fig. 2). Harvest was
initiated when the forage reached the late boot stage, except for the last harvest
in each year, which was harvested at seed maturity to simulate natural reseeding
of volunteer stands (Fig. 3). The clipping height was 4 inches above the soil
surface. A subsample of fresh forage was collected from each plot and dried in a
forced air oven for 5 days at 140°F. Dry matter was determined and yields were
calculated on a dry matter basis.

Fig. 3. The final harvest in each year
was allowed to reach seed maturity to

A yield function averaged over the 3 years of this study and adjusted to 12%
moisture and 2o% harvest losses was used to calculate the profit maximization
conditions based on the assumption that inputs will be used to the point where
marginal revenue (hay sales) equal marginal costs (N and hay harvest costs).
The variable cost of harvesting hay was assumed to be $25 per ton and all other
costs are assumed to be held constant (1o).
Data were analyzed using the general linear model procedure from SAS (SAS
Institute, Cary, NC). Only the N rate effect was considered for the first harvest
since plots did not receive the split N application until after the first harvest.
Regression analysis was performed on raw data using Sigma Plot 9.o (Systat,
Point Richmond, CA). In 2001, only two harvests were made and the second
harvest was similar in maturity to the third harvest in 2002 and 2003.
Therefore, the final harvest from each year was grouped for analysis and
discussion. Nitrogen fertilization rates resulting in maximum yield for each
harvest were calculated using corresponding regression equations.
Rainfall and Temperature
Severe drought in 2002 and excessive rainfall in 2003 resulted in the driest
and wettest growing seasons, respectively, ever recorded at the Southern
Piedmont Agricultural Research and Extension Center, Blackstone, VA.
Precipitation for the crabgrass growing season (May to September) was near
normal in 2001, 6.5 inches below normal in 2002, and 20 inches above normal
in 2003 (Fig. 4). The drier -than -normal conditions in 2002 were magnified by
the extremely dry winter of 2001-2002. For the period of August 2001 to April
2002, rainfall was more than 14 inches below normal resulting in dry soil
conditions in the spring of 2002. Temperatures for the growing season were
normal for 2001, 1.9°F above normal for 2002, and 2.4°F below normal for
2003.

Analysis of variance combined
across years indicated significant year
x treatment interactions (P < 0.05) for
yield. Due to these interactions, yields
are presented by year. An application
timing x N rate treatment interaction
was found for second harvest in 2002
and 2oo3 and for the final harvest in
2003 only. Interaction means will be
presented for these harvests only. Main
effects will be discussed for all other
harvests.
First harvest. Yield increased in a
quadratic manner as N fertilization
rate increased (P < o.0o1) (Fig. 5).
Maximum yield was obtained when
28o, 206, and 295 lb of N per acre were applied at seeding in 2001, 2oo2, and
2003, respectively. The lower maximum response to N observed in 2002 was
likely related to lower rainfall (Fig. 6). In 2002, N rates above 200 lb/acre had a
negative effect on yield compared to approximately 300 lb/acre in 2001 and
2003.

Second Harvest. Yield increased with N rate in both years (Fig. 7). The
yield response for the split application was quadratic in nature compared to a
linear increase when all the N was applied at seeding. Splitting the N application
had a more pronounced effect in 2003. This was likely due to more favorable soil
moisture during that growing season. These results show that the response of
crabgrass to summer fertilization is moisture dependent.

Season Total. Totsl yield for the growing season ranged from
approximately 300o to 9000 lb of DM per acre and increased as N application
rate increased in all three years (P < o.00i). Maximum yield was obtained when
329, 268, and 3441b of N per acre were applied for the 2001, 2002, and 2003
growing seasons, respectively (Fig. io). The economic application rate was likely
in the range of 15o to 25o lb of N per acre and will be impacted by
environmental factors such as temperature and precipitation, and N fertilizer
cost. Splitting N applications increased total yield in only one year out of three

N should be allocated during the portion of the gr sg season when the chance
of good soil moisture is greatest. In the mid -Atlantic region this would typically
be during the first part of the growing season (June). Results from the current
study sho ,,u d agronomic yield response for the first harvest up to approximately
15o to Zoo ib of N per acre depending on the year. However, this rate of N
applied at seeding could result in the accumulation of dangerous levels of nitrate
in some years (9).
In the current study, second harvest yields responded well to the split N
application. However, due to a greater likelihood of drier conditions following
the first harvest, care should be exercised with summer N applications to avoid
excessive nitrate accumulation in crabgrass. In addition, high rates of N
fertilization on sandy soils can also contribute to nitrate leaching into the
ground water.
Nitrogen Management for •Cralc'
With other warm -season annual gi;;fertilization in the range of 1.8o to
2651b/acre increased dry matter production and crude protein (4,6,7,8). In the
current study, maxi— slm dry matter yield of crabgrass was obtained when more
than goo lb of N a was applied with normal rainfall: Dalrymple (2) also
found that crabgi,.., y id increased from 240o to 71001b of DM per acre as N
rate increased from o to 24o ib/acre. The economic range would be less than
300 lb of N per acre and likely lies between 15o and 25o lb/acre. This is in
general agreement with the observations of other researchers that were
summarized by Fribourg (5).
Although splitting , -nual N applications for summer annual forages is
widely advocated, little are available to validate this practice (5). Applying

Profit Maximizing Levels of Nitrogen Fertilization
The array of profit maximizing levels of N is shown in Table 2. This example
uses market hay prices that s:oe.id reflect the values for farmers selling hay and
using hay in livestock enterprises. For mathematical simplicity all costs other
than N and hay are held constant. This assumption does not imply that other
factors such as the cost of P and K and forage quality should not be considered
when making the decision to apply N. However, for most grass hay production
systems, N is the largest single input cost under a farmer's control, at
approximately 25% of prehcr ✓est costs and will have the most influence on

range of 10o to 225 a ,a,re led to profitable yields under general production and

the general reLc.nnlendations to apply N at 6o to So lb/acre at seeding followed
by 4o to 6o lb/acre after each harvest or intensive grazing for summer annual
grasses and indicate that crabgrass can be safely managed in a similar manner.
The responsiveness to N fertilization and ability to persist through natural
reseeding may make crabgrass an excellent summer forage for livestock in the
mid -Atlantic region of the United States.

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.
Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular
19 basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be
kept on site.
Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for direct
20 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

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
This lagoon is'designedfor waste treatment (permanent storage) with
min. odor control.,. 'Ihe dime required for`the planned fluid level to be
reached (permanent -i- temporary''storage);.may vary due to soil conditions
flushing operations,'and;: theamount,of :fresh water added to the system.
The designed 6 months temporary storage`:is an estimated volume
based on: 1) waste from'animals; '2,) excess rainfall after evaporation;
and 3)-the-largest 24 hour'(one day)=`rainfall that occurs on the
average of once every 25°yearsaThe.volume:of waste generated from
a given- number"of_animals`will.be`fairlyconstant throughout the year
and from year to year.' This'estimateis'based on 7 inches of excess
rainfall which ' is equal-4to 'or exceeds' the highest 6 months excess. in
a -year. The average annual '
excess rainfall is approximately 8 inches.
Therefore, an average of'8 inches of excess rainfall will need to be
pumped each year. The 25,year rainfall will not be a factor to consider
in an annual pumping cycle,.butthis storage volume must always be
available. A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin
pumping and this is usuallytheoutlet invert of pipe(s) from
building(s). If the outlet pipe is'not''installed on the elevation to
begin pumping, a permanent marker must be.installed on this elevation
to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established
to stop pumping to maintain minimum treatment depth (6 feet).
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--=ir,-i;_dcr 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.outg
1. It is strongly recommended that 'the `treatment lagoon be preen
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 pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva-
tion 50.8 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump -out when
the fluid level reaches elevation 48.7 or before the fluid depth is
less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable
bacteria). The design temporary storage, less 25 year storm
is 129772 cubic feet or _970692 gallons. As stated before, this
volume will vary considerably from year to year.
