II. Total Waste/Nutrients Generated (per year)
This section includes the total volume of waste generated
(gallons or tons) as well as the total pounds of nutrients
generated. Values may be derived from tables of estimated
waste production or from actual waste records generated by the
f arm. Particular attent should be noted in Table 2
The total waste
generated on the farm may or may not be included in the Waste
Utilization Plan (Wup). If the answer is no in this section,
there is not adequate acreage available on site to utilize
this portion of the waste. This portion of the waste will
therefore have to be utilized by some other means when
necessary.
Note that the N (nitrogen) generated and having a yes answer
in Table 2 Will appear on the Field Summary in section III of
this plan under the column (Noncommercial Nutrients
Generated).

prohibited. illegal discharges are subject to the
assessment of c4vil penalt4es of $10,000 per day by the
7 -
Division of Environmental Management for every day the
discharge continues.
2- The F-Jeld Office must have documentation4in the design
folder that the producer either owns or has long te--=
access to adequate land on which to properly apply the
waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to
properl3r dispose of waste, he shall Provide NRCS with a
copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a
landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing
him/her the uqe of 'the land for waste application for the
life expectancy of.the production faclllt7. "it is the
responsibility of the owner of the facility to secure an
update of the Waste Utilization Plan when there is a
C=ge in the operation, increase in the number of
Andmals, method of utilization, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed, the
Nitrogen needs for realistic crop yields basel� on soil
type, available moisture, historical data,
cl=ate
Conditions, and level of management, unless there are
regulations that restrict the rate of application for
other nutrients.
4. Animal waste ma7 be applied to land that has a Resource
Management System (Rms) or an Alternative Conservation
System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no
greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate
filter strips will be used where runoff leaves tRe field.
These filter strips will be in addit4on to "Buffers"
required by DF-14, (See FCTG Standard-393 - F41ter St=,;MS
and Standard 390 (Interi-,,) - Riparian Forest

5. Odors can be reduced by injecting t1,e waste or disking
after waste application. Was�e shou"Id not be applied when
the wind is blo*wing.
6. When animal waste is to be applied ca acres subjec: to
flooding, it will be soill inc'o'rperaced on conventiona!17

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
pondiSig should occur in order to control conditions
condu cive to odor or flies and provide uniformit7y of
application..
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 no more than 20 to 25 percent of the
leaf area is covered.
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 the
crop on baPe soil.
11. Animal waste 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 to
wells.
13. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of
dwellings other than those owned by the landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other
property and public right-of-ways.
15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters,
drainageways or wetlands by a discharge or by over -
spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted
wetlands provided they have been approved as a land
application site by a "technical specialist". Animal
waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that
discharge directly into water courses, and only then at
agronomic rates provided the application causes no runoff
or drift from the site.

17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures
must maintain a maximum operating level to provide
adequate storage for a 23-year, 24-hour storm event in
addition to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.
Is. A Protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be
established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments,
berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation
shall be provided for these areas and shall be fenced, as
necessary, to Protect the vegetation. Vegistation 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.
19. 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.
20. 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.

'rhis plan will be inriplemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking.
Overflowing, or running off site. You shoul& not wait until wastes reach surface waters or
a -
leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every eff-for-L to
ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be posted in an accessible location for
all employees at the facility. The following are some action items you should take.
I - Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situadon. this may or may not be
possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below.
A. Laeoon overflow -possible solutions are:
a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of darn.
b. Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate.
c. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
d. Call a pumping contractor.
e. Make sure no surface water is enterin- lazoon.

B: Runoff from waste application field -actions include:
a. Immediately stop waste application.
b. Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
c. Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
d. Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that caused the runoff.

Mortality Management Methods
Indicate which method(s) WN be implemented.
When selecting multiple methods indicate a Primary versus secondarl option.
Methods other than those listed
must be approved by the State Veterinarian.
Primary secondary
Routine Mortality
IV
105-1
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.
Landfill at municipal solid waste facility Permitted by NC DEQ under GS I SA NCAC
13B .0200.
Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S. 106-168.7
Complete incineration according to 02 NCAC 52C .0 102.
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.
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. 106-649.70).
Any method which, in the professional opinion of 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 pwoodures or measures for disposal acQQrding to G.S. 106-399.4

Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam.
Fescue or common bermudagrass are the most common vegetative
covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year, if needed, to
maintain a vigoFous stand. The amount Of fertilizer aPplied Should be
based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not practical to obtain
a soils test each year, the 1�goon embankment and surrounding areas
should be fertilized with 8GO Pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or
equivalent,

Mix the sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper -agitator impeller
Pump through large -bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland;
and soil incorporate.
Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or

Regardless of the method, YOU must have the sludge material anal for waste
constituents just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge wil�zed
contain different
nutrient and metal values from the liquid, The application of the sludge to fields will be
limited by these nutrients as well as any previous waste iappli cations to that field and crop
requirement, Waste application rates will be discussed n detail in Chapter 3,
When removing sludge, YOU must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close
attention by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner remains
intact. If you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, YOU should
stop the activity immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be
removed without liner injury, If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as
possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a much higher Phosphorus and heavy metal content
than liquid. Because of this it should probably be applied to land
and metal levels with low phosphorus
, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance of
erosion. Note that if the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphores, it

I (we) understand that I must own or have access to irrigation or other equipment,';to land apply the animal waste
described M' this waste utilization plan. This equipment must be available at the appropriate pumping time such
that no discharge occurs from the lagoon in a 25-year, 24-hour storm event. I also certify that the waste,.%rill be
applied on the land according to this plan at the appropriate times and at rates that no runoff occurs.

PLANS & 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. Illegal discharges are subject
to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Water Quality for every
day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has long term access to adequate land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy
of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing
him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production
facility. 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.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or
an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no
greater than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff
leaves the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. (See
FOTG Stantard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers).
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" in the NRCS Technical Reference -
Environment file for guidance.)
*7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that
runoff does not occur oftsite 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 conditions
conducive to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application.
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.
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 on bare soil.
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 from anv Derennial stream or river (other that an irriaation ditch or canal. Animal waste
Page 7 of 10
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)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal Waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landownwer.
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 croplands
provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist".
Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water
courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the application 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.). If needed, special vegetation shall be
provided for these areas and 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 suspended or terminated, the owner is
responsible for obtaining and implementing a "closure plan" which will eliminate the
possibility of an illegal discharge, pollution and erosion.
*19. Waste handling structures, piping, pumps, reels, etc., should be inspected on a regular
basis to prevent breakdowns, leaks, and spills. A regular maintenance checklist should be
kept on site.
20. Animal waste can be used in a rotation that includes vegetables and other crops for
direct human consumption. However, if animal waste is used on crops for direct human
consumption, it should only be applied as a preemergence with no other applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
*21. Highly visible markers shall be installed to mark the top and bottom elevations of the
temporary storage (pumping volume) of all waste treatment lagoons. Pumping shall be
managed to maintain the liquid level between the markers. A marker will be required to mark
the maximum storage volume fpr 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 soils shall be monitored and alternative
crop sites shall be used when these metals approach excessive levels. pH shall be adjusted
for optimum crop production amd 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 Department of
Agriculture regulations.
