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 procedures or measures for disposal according to G.S. 106-399.4.

These estimates are based on average nitrogen concentrations foreach source, the number of animals in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application rates shown in the second column. Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application ofthe effluent. At clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases, the priority nutrient is niiragen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since nutrient levels are generally very high, application ofshtdge must be carefully applied. Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally, effluent spray fields should not be used for sludge application. if this is not possible, care Mould betaken not to load effluent application fields with high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluelrt cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water moving to streams and lakes, phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also be a concern.

Available stage capacity is calculated as the design storage capacity in days minus the number- of days of net storage volume accumulated. The start date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or biding pond is equal to zero. Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design storage capacity of the facility. Ifthe available storage capacity is greater than the design storage capacity, this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated. If available storage capacity is negative, the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design storage volume of ft structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity. Avauabte Storage Capacity is calculated as of the end of each month. 504362 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed. 01-01-2007 Capacity Page i of 1 Required Specifications For Animal Waste Manamement h 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 that reaches surface water is prohibited. 2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to properly apply 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 Management Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, receiving crop type, or available land. 3. 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 IO tons per acre per year provided grass filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, MRCS Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips). 5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disldng 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). 504362 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 1/1/2007 Specification Page 1 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate such that runoff does not occur ofisite 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. h. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the soil 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 it depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered. 10. }Nutrients from waste shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring planted crops on soils with a high potential for leaching. Wastelnutrient loading rates on these soils should be held to a mmi imum and a suitable winter cover crop planted to take up released nutrients. Waste shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1,1995 shall comply with the following: The outer perimeter of the land area onto which waste is applied from a lagoon that is a component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and canal. Animal waste, other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1,1995, shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters. 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. 504362 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 1/1/2007 Specification Pane 2 IS. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters, draintageways, or wetlands by a discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water courses, and on other grassed waterways, waste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site. i6. 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 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 pre -plant with no further 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 for waste storage ponds. 504362 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed; 1/1/2007 Specification Page 3 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 nutrient, unless other restrictions require waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower application rate than a nitrogen based rate. 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 and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three years. Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. 504362 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 1/ll2007 Specification Page 4 Crop Notes The following crop note applies to field(s): 7, 8, 9, Sub-F3 Fescue: Coastal Plain, Organic Soils.

Apply 40 to 60 lb/ac nitrogen at planting for pure stands only. Do not apply N for mixtures with clovers but use proper legume inoculation techniques. Apply 150 to 200 lb/ac. N to pure -stand fescue for hay production; reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Apply N Feb. I to Mar. 20 and Aug. 20 to Sept. 30, with equal amounts in each window. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for additional information or consult your regional agronomist or extension agent for assistance. 504362 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 01-01-2007 Crop Note Page 1 of 2 The following crop note applies to field(s): 5, 6, Sub-F2 Small Grain: CP, Mineral Soil, medium leachable In the Coastal Plain, oats and barley should be planted from October 15-October 30; and rye from October 15-November 20. For barley, plant 22 seed/drill row foot and increase the seeding rate by 5%o for each week seeding is delayed beyond the optimum time. See the seeding rates table for applicable seeding rate modifications in the current NCSU "Small Grain Production Guide". Also, increase the initial seeding rate by at least 10% when planting no -till. Oats should be planted at 2 bushels/acre and rye at 1-1 1/2 bushels/acre. Plant all these small grains at 1-1 1/2" deep. Adequate depth control is essential. Review the NCSU Official Variety "green book" and information from private companies to select a high yielding variety with the characteristics needed for your area and conditions. Apply no more than 30 lbs/acre N at planting. Phosphorus and potash recommended by a soil test can also be applied at this time. The remaining N should be applied during the months of February -March. The following crop note applies to field(s): 5, 6, Sub-F2 Bermudagrass: CP, Mineral Soil, Moderately Well Drained. Adaptation: Neil -adapted. In the Coastal Plain, hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. i to Mar. 31. Cover sprigs 1" to 3" deep (1.5" optimal). Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and wind. For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3' rows, spaced 2' to 3' in the row. Generally a rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing conditions. Tifton 44 spreads slowly, so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5' to 2' rows spaced 1' to 1.5' in row. For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac. Soil test for the amounts of lime, phosphorus, potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance. Apply 60 to 100 lb/acc N in the establishment year in split applications in April and July. For established stands apply 180 to 240 lb/ac N annually in split applications, usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts. Reduce N rates by 25% for grazing.

Discharge rates and application rates change over time as equipment gets older and components wear. In particular, PUMP wear tends to reduce operating pressure and flow. With continued use, nozzle wear results in an increase in the nozzle opening which will increase the discharge rate while decreasing the wetted diameter. You should be aware that operating the system differently than assumed in the design will alter the application rate, diameter of coverage, and subsequently the application uniformity. For example, operating the system with excessive pressure results in smaller droplets, greater potential for drift, and accelerates wear of the sprinkler nozzle. Clogging of nozzles can result in pressure increase. plugged intakes or crystallization of mainlines will reduce operating below design pressure greatly reduces the coverage diameter andrapplica application uniformity. For the above reason, you should calibrate your equipment on a regular basis to ensure proper application rates and uniformity. Calibration at least once every three years is recommended. Calibration involves collecting and measuring flow at several locadons in the apnllcation area Any number of containers can be used to collect flow and determine the 2ppiication rate. Rain cauges work best Because they already have a graduated scale from which to read the application amount without having to perform additional calculations. However, pans, plastic buckets, Jars, or anythinc with a uniform opening and cross-section can be used provided the Liquid collected can be easily transferred to a scaled container for measuring. For stationary sprinklers, collection containers should be located randomly throughout the application area at several distances from sprinklers. For traveling guns, sprinklers should be located along a transect perpendicular to the direction Of pull. Set out collection containers 25 feet apart along the transect on both sides of the gun can:. You should compute the average application rate for all nonuniformity of the application. On a windless day, variation between containers of more than 30 percent is cause for concern. You should contact your irrigation dealer or technical specialist for assistance. 'Reprinted for Cer' Ication Training for Operations of Animal Waste Management Systems Manua! V\cwvf1,O- CC,4-�ter" 40 %I OPERAMN & MAINTENANCE PLAN Proper lagoon liquid management should be a year-round priority_ It is especially imporant to manage levels so that you do not have problems during extended rainy and wet periods_ Maximum storage capacity should be available in the lagoon for periods when the receiving crop is dormant (such as wintertime for berrnudagrass) or when there are extended rainy spells such as the thunderstorm seson in -the summertime. This means that at the first signs of plant growth in the later winterlearly spring, irrigation according to a farm waste management plan should be done whenever the land is dry enough to receive lagoon liquid. This will make storage spacc available in the lagoon for future wet periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be pumped down to the low marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter storage_ Every effort should be made to mabLwin the lagoon close to the minimum liquid level as -long as the weather and waste utilization plan will allow it. Waiting until the lagoon has reached its maximum storage capaciry before starting to =gate does not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods. _ Overflow from the lagoon for any reason except a 25-year, 24-hour storm is a violation of state law and subject to Penalty action. The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the following: Maintenance of a vegetative cover for the dam. rescue or common berinuaa��rass are the most comrion vegetative covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each veer, if -needed, to raintain a vigorous sad. The amount of ferdliLe applied should be based on a soils test, but in the event that it is not praacticai to obtain a soils test each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding areas should be fertlized with 800 pounds per acre of 10-10-10, or equivalent. Brush and trees on the a nbanlanent must be controlled. This may be done by mowinge, spraying, grazing, chopping, or a combination of these practices, This should be donat least once a year and possibly twice in years that weather conditions are favorable for heavy vegetative growth, NOTE: If vegetation is controlled by soraving, the herbicide must not be allowed to enter the lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria in the lagoon that are treating the waste. Maintenance inspections of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial fillina of the lagoon and at least monthly and after major rainfall and storm events. Items to be checked should include, as a minimum, the following: Waste Inlet Pipes, Recycling Pipes, and Overflow Pipes. _look for. 1. separation of joints I. -cracks or breaks 3. accumulation of salts or minerals 4. overall condition of pipes lagoon surface —look for: 1. undesixable vegemdve growth 2- floating or lodged debris Embankment —look for: 1- settlement, cracking, or "jug" holes ?. side slope stability —slumps or bulges -1. wet or damp areas on the back slope 4. erosion due to lack of vegetation or as a result of wave action $. rodent dame Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalis, thereby weakening the lag n dam. A good stand of vegetation will reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sidewall, baffles in the.lagoon may be used to reduce the wave impacts. Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. If your lagoon has any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temDorasy fix if there is a threat of a waste discharge. However, a permanent solution should be reviewed by the technical e^`?Jeri- Any di Bing into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious b� undertang with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless recommended by an appropriate technical expert. Transfer Pumos--check for proper operation of: 1. recycling punDs 2. irrigation pumps Check for leaks, loose fittings, and ove.all pump operation. An unusually loud or Winding noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump is in nerd or repair or replacement. _ NOTE: Pumping s}rstems should be irs-ted and operated frequently enough so that you are not coippfel y „surpassed" by equipment failure. You should perform yourpumDm- system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will allow some safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nears 'tali to think about switching a y lagoon is not -the time t b, repairing , or borrowing pumps. Probably, if your lagoon is full, your neighbors lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an inventory of spare parts or pumps. Surface water diversion features are designed to carry all surface drainage waters (such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parking lot runofr) away from your lagoon and other waste treatment or storage structures. The only water that should be coming from your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing (washing) system pines and the rainfall that hits the lagoon directly. You should inspect your diversion system for the following: I. adequate vegetation 2. diversion capacity 3. ridge berm hcight Pi halm+, k APR 0 E ?019 waww� Regional orjwatim swtwi Identified problems should be corrected promptly- It is advisable to inspevt your sysa during or zraine;iiately following a heavy rain_ If mchnicai assistance is needed to determine proper solutions, consult with appropriam exp=Ts. You should reword the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain is predicted, and then record- the level again 4 to 6 hours aft,-- the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will give you an idea of how much your lagoon level will rise with a cerain rainfall amount (you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work)- Knowing this should help in pag irrigation applications and storage. if your lagoon rises excessively, you may have an inflow problem from a surizze water dive lion or there may be seepage into the lagoon from the surrounding land. Lagoon Qpent lion 1. Immediately after construction establish a complete sod cover on bare soR surfaces to avoid erosion. 2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half full of water before waste loaning begins, ta_l ng care not to erode lining or. bank slopes. 3.
