Amount of waste produced per year---------------; 12188 tons/year
Amount of plant available iN (PAN) produced/year-: 10800 lbs./year
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or
groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be use
to reduce the amount of commercial fertilizer required for the
crops in the fields where the waste is to be applied.
This waste utilization pian.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:
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 the crop can 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 not be applied to land eroding at more
than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land
eroding at s or more tons 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
in runoff to the surface waters which is not allowed .ender DWQ
regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoild drift and
downwind odor problems.
8. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and
to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be
applied to a growing crop or applied not more than 30 days
Prior to planting a crop or forages breaking dormancy.
Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown above. If
You choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise
this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are
not the same.
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. In some cases you may want to have

Page
plant analysis made, which could allow additional waste to be
applied. provisions shall be made for the area receiving waste to
be flexible so as to accommodate changing waste analysis content
and the crop type. Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the
optimum range for specific crop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the
requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the
Environmental Management Commission.
YOUR WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN IS BASED ON THE FOLLOWING:

Applying the above amount of waste is a big .job. You should plan

Page
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
berm►_idagrass), 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 to let small grain to reach maturity, especially late in
the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small grain
gets too high and this will definitely 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 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 mowed to a height of about two
inches before drilling for best results.
Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals
under stressed conditions. Nitrate poisoning may occur in
livestock. Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is
recommended.
Acres shown in the tables are considered to be the usable acres
excluding required buffers , filter strips along ditches, odd
areas unable to be irrigated, and perimeter areas not receiving
full application rates due to equipment limitations. Actual total
acres in the field listed may, and most likely will be, more than
the acres shown in the tables.
See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization
of animal waste.
SLUDGE APPLICATION:
The waste utilization plan must contain provision 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. Your production
facility will produce approximately 1680 lbs. of plant available
nitrogen per year in the sludge.
If you remove sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately
8400 lbs. of PAN to utilize. assuming YOU apply this PAN to
hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs. of nitrogen
per acre, you will need 28 acres of land. If YOU apply the
sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lbs. of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 67 acres of land. please be aware that these are
only estimates of the FLAN and land needed. Actual requirements
could vary by 25% depending on your sludge waste analysis, soil
types, realistic yields, and application methods.

Page 4
APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION
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 organic
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 tables. Failure to apply the
recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the table may
make this plan invalid.
The following table is provided as a guide for establishing
application rates and amounts.

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.

Page 5
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and
the temporary storage mast be removed on the average of once every
6 months. In no instances should the volume of the waste be stored
in your structure be within the E5 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 Iroperly 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 rate prior to applying the
waste.

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 musf'be approved by the State Veterinarian.
Primary Secondary Routine Mortality
0 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 zbutiall pit should be at least one foot above the seasonal
high water table. Attach burial location map and. plan.
Q Landfill at municipal solid waste facility permitted. by NC DEQ under GS 15A NCAC
13B .0200.
Bee+.dPrirac_at;a-rendepn": [antAi; sAd-under..:SAS
Complete incineration according to 02 NCAC 520 .0102.
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.
a 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. 106-549.70).
Any method which, in the professional opinionbof 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. 106-390.4.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
0`1=goon=:pis designed for waste treatment with minimum odor control. The e reiq%red for the planned fluid level �to be reached may vary due to soil
litions, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the
Iem.
Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of dis-
po.sal.. Methods of application include honey wagons (sprayer or injection) and
irrigatldn (center pivot., guns, or travelers). Care needs to be taken when
,. applying waste to prevent damage to crops or runoff from the field.
The following items are to be carried out'
1. Begin, pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level is 1 foot below the
outlet pipes.
2. Stop. ,pump -out before fluid depth is less than '3 feet deep (this
prevents the loss of favorable bacteria).
3. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be precharged `
to k,its capacity to prevent excessive odors during startup.: Pre -
charging reduces the concentration of the initial waste entering
the lagoon thereby reducing odors. Solids should be covered with
eflluent at all times.
4. Keep.vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon
mowed.
5. Repair any eroded areas and establish in vegetation.
6. Recommend that a suitable fence be constructed around the lagoqn
for safety Purposes,!,
7. The Clean Water Act o 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants
into waters of.the United States. The Department of Natural
Resources -and C.Om unity Development (.DNRCD) Wastewater Management
Section has the resgonsibility for enforcing this law-.'
8. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the,`lagoon to adequate outlets.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
------------------------------
i
i
i
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and
180 days of temporary storage. The time required for the planned
fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary
due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount
of fresh water added to the system.
The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for:
(1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also
included is storage for the 25 yr - 24 hr storm for the location and a
heavy rain factor. The volume of waste generated from a given number
of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to
year, but excess rainfall will vary from year to year. The heavy rain
factor and 25 yr rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual
pu.ping-cycle, but this storage volume must always be available.
The waste produced by the animals shall be utilized in accordance with
an approved waste utilization plan. Highly visible markers shall be
installed to marls the upper and lower elevations of the temporary
storage (pumping volume). Pumping shall be done as necessary to
maintain the liquid level between these markers....
Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two
elevations for operating convenience as site conditions perm.it, such, as
weather, soils, crops and equipment in order 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 out
1. Before wastes are introduced, the waste treatment lagoon shall be
charged to 1/2 its treatment volume to prevent excessive -odors dul ing
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 temporary storage pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level
reaches the elevation 42.20 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump -
out when the fluid level reaches elevation 39.60 . This temporary
storage less 25 yr and heavy rain -contains 217711 cubic feet or
1628475 gallons.

freight or areas where cracking, sloughing, or "jug" holes develop.
3. Repair waste inlet pipes that develop cracks or separate at the
joints.
9. Remove undesirable vegetative growth and floating or lodged debris.
10. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable
outlets when not included as part of the design temporary storage.
11. After five years the waste treatment lagoon shall be checked for
sludge accumulation annually. If sludge has encroached into :he
treatment volume, the sludge will be removed and applied at agronomic
rates based on analysis of the sludge. Treatment volume must have
a minimum of 4 feet of depth free of sludge at all times.
12. In December 1992, the Environmental Management Commission (EMC)
in North Carolina revised water quality regulations that address
animal operations. These rules became effective on February 1,
1993 (15A NCAC 2H .0200). This animal operation shall be operated
within the requirements of these rules and regulations.
la. Pipes that are used for recycling effluent to use as flush water
and irrigation intakes must be placed 18 inches below the surface and
as far from the inlet discharge pipes as possible in order to provide
a cleaner effluent for flushing and to reduce odors when irrigating on
Land. When these pipes are placed through the embankment, they should
be installed no more than two feet below top of embankment and not in
the highest section of fill. The pipe trench shall be compacted with
clayey material or other material as approved by an engineer
