Complete incineration according to 02 NCAC 52C .0102.
a 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.
Q 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 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).
71 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.

Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: Swine - Farrow/Finish
Number of Animals: 1200 Sows
(Design Capacity)
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of
surface and/or groundwater. The plant nutrients in the animal waste should be used 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 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.
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. Soil types are important as they have
different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange capacities, and available water holding
capacities.. Normally waste shall not be applied to land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per
year. With special precautions, waste may be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per
year. 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 surface waters which is not allowed under DEM
regulations. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems.
To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and to reduce the potential for pollution, the
waste should be applied to a growing crop or applied to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to
planting. Injecting the waste or disldng will conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems.
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. Attached you will find information on proper sampling techniques,
preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for analysis.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
214.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

Waste Management System (No.)
Definition
A planned system In which all necessary
components are installed for managing liquid and
solid waste, including runoff from concentrated
waste areas, in a manner that does not degrade air,
soil, or water resources•.
Scope
This standard establishes the minimum acceptable
requirements for planning and operating waste
management systems. It does not apply to the
design and Installation of the system components.
Purpose
To manage waste in rural areas In a manner that
prevents or minimizes degradation of air, soil, and
water resources and protects public health and
safety. Such systems are planned to preclude
discharge of pollutants to surface or ground water
and to recycle waste through soil and piantsTothe
fullest extent practicable.
Conditions where practice applies
This practice applies where: (1) waste is generated
by agricultural production or processing; (2) waste
from municipal and Industrial treatment plants is
used in agricultural production; (3) all practice
components necessary to make a complete system
are specified; and (4) soil, water, and plant
resources are adequate to property manage the
Waste.
Planning
General. Waste, as used in this standard, Includes
both liquid and solid waste, waste water used in
processing, and polluted runoff such as that from a
feedlot.
A waste management system for a given enterprise
shall Include the components necessary to properly
manage waste and prevent degradation of air,
water, 000 and plant resources. A system may
consist of a single component, such as a diversion,
or may consist of several components.
Components shall not be Installed until an overatf Y
waste management system has been planned.
Waste Management System 312-1
Components. Components of complete waste
management systems may include, but are not
limited -to, the following.
Debris basins
Dikes
Diversions
Fencing
Grassed waterways or
outlets
Irrigation systems
Irrigation water
conveyance
Pond sealings or linings
Subsurface drains
Surface drains
Waste storage ponds
Waste storage structures
Waste treatment lagoons
Waste utilization
Design criteria for Individual components shall be
according to standards in the National Handbook of
Conservation Practices. The criteria for the design
of components not Included In this handbook shall
be consistent with sound engineering principles.
, Planning considerations
1. Waste should be used to the fullest extent
possible by recycling it through sod and plants. if
very little land Is available, such practices as
lagoons and oxidation ditches may be needed.
2. Clean water should be excluded from
concentrated waste areas to the fullest extent
practical.
2. Manure shall be collected and safely spread on
land, treated., or stored until it can be safely spread.
Adequate storage must be provided to allow
spreading during favorable weather and -at times
compatible with crop management and available
labor.
4. Polluted runoff and seepage from concentrated - -
waste areas shall be Intercepted and directed to
storage or treatment facilities for future disposal or
be directly applied to land in an acceptable manner.
5. Waste water from processing shiftt lV t:dlected
and directly applied, stored, or treated before using
ti.
6. Adequate drainage, erosion control, and other
soil and water management practices shall be
Incorporated to prevent system -related problemq..

WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
RE QUrLiRED 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 the assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Environmental
Management for every day the discharge continues.
'?. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has long term access to adequate land on which to properly apply the waste. If
the producer does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide
MRCS with a copy of a written agreement (sample enclosed) with a landowner who is within
a reasonable proximity, allowing hii: / er 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.
;. 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 (A.CS). 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 Standard 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 the wind is blowing.
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 Technical Reference -
Environment file for guidance.)
(continued next page)

WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
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
conditions conducive to odor or flies and provide uniformity of application..
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated sons, 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 bare 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.
16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, shower,, toilets, sinks, etc., shall
not be discharged into the animal waste management system.
17. Lagoons and other uncovered waste containment structures must. maintain a maximum
operating level to provide adequate storage for a 25-year, 24-hour storm event in addition
to the one (1) foot mandatory freeboard.

WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
(continued next page)
18. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
Oagoon embankments, berms, pipe nuns, 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.
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.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
Amount of Waste Produced Per Year(gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
1200 animals X 10478 waste/animal/year-- 12,573.600 waste/year.
Amount of Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN) Produced Per Year
12.573.600 Gal Yr. X 3.56 lbs. PAN/1000 gal= 44.762 lbs. PAN/year.
(PAN from NC Tech. Guide Std. 633) or (NC WASTE ANALYSIS REPORT, see
attached) (Circle one)
Applying the above amount of waste is a big job. You should plan time and have appropriate
equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner.
The following acreage will be needed for waste application based on the crop to be grown
and surface application:

*This N is from animal waste only. If nutrients from other sources such as commercial fertilizer are applied,
they must be accounted for. N must be based on realistic yield expectation.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions 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.See attached map showing the fields to be used for
the utilization of waste water.
Your facility is designed for 296days 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 waste being stored in your structure exceed 1811 from low point in Lop of dam..
Call the local Natural Resources Conservation Service (formerly Soil Conservation Service) or Soil
and Water Conservation District office after you receive the waste analysis report for assistance in
determining the amount per acre to apply and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste

WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN NARRATIVE
This plan is to define the nutrient management for Cox Brothers
Farm 90-20 known as the "Lanes Creek" farm. The operation
consists of a 1200 sow farrow -to -finish located within the
boundaries of two tracts, 54276 and 3911, totalling 1330 acres.
The 12,573,600 gals of waste generated annually will be applied
to three spray fields. Field 1 lies within Tract 54276 and 3911
and consists of a center -pivot system with a wettable coverage
area of 180 acres. Due to an intermittent stream lying within
this area a section of approximately one -sixth, or 30 acres has
been set aside to meet the requirement for buffer. Field two and
field three consisting of 120 acres and 56 acres respectively,
are located within the interior of two fields with total acreage
of 199.7 acres as determined by FSA estimates.(see aerial photo)
Waste is applied to Field 2 and Field 3 with the use of a hose -
reel traveling gun. The 199.7 acres provides adequate buffering
for the spray areas in Fields 2 and 3.
The 12,573,600 gals of waste produce 44,762 lbs of Nitrogen based
on an average NCDA analysis of 3.56lbs/M gals.
This Nitrogen will be applied at rates not to exceed .35 in/hr
and .75 in. per event as prescribed by NRCS estimates of soil
type.
The cropping system is a corn -wheat -soybean rotation with a two
year uptake of 89,924 lbs/N. Additional Nitrogen removal may
occur due to the harvesting of volunteer Ryegrass Hay or as the
result of increased yields resulting from improved varieties or
production methods.
The 88,096lbs generated and the 89,924lbs utilized results in a
Nitrogen balance of-1,8281bs of N.

Perform regular inspection and repair as necessary all waste handling equipment, (pumps,
meters, tripes and electrical components etc.) to avoid leaks, overflow or other spMage of
effiuent ltiianage to avoid excessive waste volume situations duc to unexpected failure of
equipment.
Liquid level
Establish visible markers to delineate top and bottom pumping limits. lviaintam rnwdmum liquid
level six inches below emergency spillway, Monitor sludge accumulation annually and remove as
necessary to keep at least four feet of liquid capacity available. Iviaintain separate disposal areas
for sludge and apply at agronomic rates with no runoff. Sample slu4e or use book values fox N
