� The waste. from your animal facility must be land applied at a
� specified rate tq 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 plan uses nitrogen as the limiting
nutrient. Waste sMould 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 need? of the crop to be gromn
rand the nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more
nitrogen than the crop can utilize.
2. Soil types are idportant 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 less
than 5 tons per acre per yea&. Waste may be applied to land
eroding at 5 or more tons per acre annually, but less than
10 tons per acre per year providing that adequate filter.
strips are established.
41 Do not apply waste on saturated sails, 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 under DWQ
regulations.
'5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoild drift and
[ downwind odor problems.
6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crop production and
to reduce the potential for pollution, the waste should be
L'applied to a growing crop or applied not moe than 30 days
prior to planting a crop or forages breakind dormancy.
^ Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
If reduce odor problems.
` This plan is based on the Aaste application method shown above. If
y--�you choose to change methods in the future, you need to revise
, this plan. Nutrient levels for different application methods are
' not the same.
LThe 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. I34some cases you may want to hAv�

plant analysis made, which could allow additional wapts 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 appliek to. maintain pH in the
optimum range for specific ceop production.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the
. requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0217 adopted by the
Environmental Managemeht Commission.

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
bermudagrass), 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(=xercised
not to to let small grain to reach maturity, especially late in
the season (i.e. April or May). Shading may result if small graii-i.
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. Drillingis 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.

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 runbffor ponding
occurs. This rate is limited by initial soil moistur, content,
soil structure, soil texture, water droplet size`'and organic
solids. The application amount should not emceed the available
water holding capacity of the soil at the time of irrigation nor
should the plant available nitrogen applied emceed 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
degignee to ensure that an irrigation. system is installha 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.

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
a Q 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 beat least one foot above the seasonal
high water table. Attach burial location map and plan.
a Landfill at municipal solid waste facility permitted. by NC DEQ under GS 15A NCAC
13B .0200.
Complete incineration according to 02 NCAC 52C .0102.
aA 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. 106-549.70).
aAny method.vuhich, in the professional opinionf 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 fie attached).
Mass Mortality Plan
Mass mortality plans are required for#arms 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. 1*399.4.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment with minimum odor control. The
time required for the planned fluid level to be reached may vary due to soil
conditions, flushing operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the
system.
Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable method of dis-
posal. Methods of application include honey wagons (sprayer or injection) and
irrigation (center pivot, guns, or travelers). Care needs tc 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
out 1 et pipes.
2. Stop pump -out before fluid depth is less than 3 feet deep (this /voT ..,mcO
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
effluent 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 lagoon
for safety purposes.
7. The Clean dater Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants
into waters of the United States. The Department of Natural
Resources and Community Development (DNRCD) - Wastewater Management
Section has the responsibility for enforcing this law•
8. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to adequate outlets.

laboratories or at a fee of $3 per sample at:

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN ' r
- This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (per(nanent storage) and
180 days of temporary storage. The time required for the planned
� fluid level (perm�nent and temporary storage) to be reached m vary
� -'
� due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount
of fresh water added to the system.
�
� The designed temporary storage consists of 180days 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 fair1y constant throughout the year and from year to
year, but will vary from year to year. The heavy rain
factor and 25 yr rainfall will not be a factor to consider in an annual
� pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available.
The waste produced`by the animals shall be utilized ih accordance with
� an approved waste utilization plan. 'Highly visible markers shall be
� installed to mark the upper, and lower elevations of the temporary
storage (pumping volume). Pumping shall be done as necessary to
� maintain the l liquid levebetween these markers.
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 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 shou'ld be
� taken when a�plying 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 during
start-up. Pre -charging reduces the concentration of the 'nitial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing pdol s. Solids should be
covered with effluent at all times. When precharging �ci-'`omplete,
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
N plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see attachment)
- before land application.
N 3. Begin temporary storage pump -out of the lagoon when fluid level
N
° reaches theelevation 47.70 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump -
out when the f1uid level reaches elevation 45.05 . This temporary
storage less 25 yr and heavy -.,rain` c�ntains 204788 cubic feet or

4. The recommended maximum amount toapply per irrigatio'n and
recommended maximum application rate is shownin the waste utilization,
plan. Refer to the waste utilization plan for further details.
5. Keep vegetation on the embankment and areas adj cent to the
lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed
to maintain a vigorous stand.
6. Repair any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and
estAblish in vegetation.
7. Repair areas of the embankment that settle below the design settled
height or areas where cracking, sloughing, or "jug" holes develop.
8. 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 stabIe
outlets when not included as p'A-rt of the design temporary storage.
