You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make every effort 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. Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested responses to some possible problems are listed below. A. Lagoon overflow -possible solutions are: a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam. 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 entering lagoon. 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. e. Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred. C: Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers -action include: a. Stop recycle pump. b. Stop irrigation pump. c. Close valves to eliminate further discharge. d. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps. December 18, 1996 D: Leakage from flush systems, houses, solid separators -action include: a. Stop recycle pump. b. Stop irrigation pump. c. Make sure no siphon occurs. d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or solid separators. c. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps. E: Leakage from base or sidewall of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to flowing leaks- possible action: a. Dig a small sump or ditch away from the embankment to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back to lagoon. b. If holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil. c. Have a professional evaluate the condition of the side walls and lagoon bottom as soon as possible. 2. Assess the extent of the spill and note any obvious damages. a. Did the waste reach any surface waters? b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration? c. Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage? d. Did the spill leave the property? e. Does the spill have the potential to reach surface waters? f. Could a future rain event cause the spill to reach surface waters? g.

Routine maintenance is considered to be normal good care of the system. Good maintenance adds to beauty, usefulness, and permanence. �. Maintenance The routine maintenance of the lagoon involves the following: 1. Maintenance of a vegetative cover on the embankment top and side slopes: XeE s-EF llpecvov"established on these areas. is in 19 e and each is being ear thereafter, the embankment should be fertilized with 800ypounds Of 10-10-10 per acre to maintain a vigorous stand. 2. Control of brush and trees on the embankment. This may be done by mowing, spraying, or chopping, or a combination of all three. This will need to be done at least once each year and possibly twice in years favorable to heavy growth of vegetation. Maintenance inspections of the lagoon should be made during the initial filling of the lagoon and at least annually. Items to be checked should include, as a minimum, the following: I. Waste Inlet Pipes, Overflow Pipes a. condition of pipes (1) separation of joints (2) cracks or breaks 2. Pool Area a. undesirable vegetative growth b. floating or lodged debris 3. Embankment a. settlement, cracking or "jug" holes b. side slope stability - slumps or bulges C. erosion and rodent damage 4.

In calculating the User Defined source for this operation, the total number of Wean to Feeder swine (1200) was multiplied by the default annual volume (191 gallons), to calculate the total volume of Wean to Feeder swine waste, (1200 x 191 = 229,200 gallons/year). This total volume was divided by the number of FinishingHo 100 loos g g) Hogs (229,200/2300 = gal per/head finishing hogs) to arrive at the additional volume per finishing hog attributed to the weanling animals. The annual volume per finishing animal was adjusted in the user defined source to reflect the default value for feeder to finish (927 gallons/year) + the annual volume for wean to feeder 0 00 gallons/year) to arrive at an adjusted annual volume per finishing hog of (100 + 927 =1027 gallons/finishing hoglyear). The result is that the total adjusted volume for the operation is (1027 x 2300 = 2,362,100 gallons/year). This amount is used as the basis for developing the waste management plan for this operation. Vernon Cox of NCDSWCD that assisted with the development of the Nutrient Management software program assisted the local SWCD staff in arriving at the scenario describded above. This Nutrient Management Plan was updated on February 7, 2013 based on irrigation pulls designated by NRCS District Conservationist, Brian Short The irrigation pulls are outlined on a farm map attached to this NMP with each irrigation pull numbered from 101 thm 113. The producer Martin Engel, will use a Hard Hose Traveling Gun system to apply his swine waste to the majority of the acres designated in this NMP. The swine waste used for these application fields (pulls) is conveyed from the lagoon by an eight inch underground main service/trunk line. The producer will use four inch portable irrigation pipe Iine to serve as iatteral application lines for some of the pulls listed in this NMP. Also, the producer will have the option to apply waste to some areas contained in this NMP by a portable manure spreader. The farm tract number for the irrigations pulls in this NMP is 452. Tract 452 is a very large tract that serve two different swine facilities owned by the same producer. The irrigation acreage in this NW plan will serve the NC Farm #2 swine facility only. When devloping a NW, the computer software will not allow the same farm tract number to be used for different animal facilities simultaneously, For planning purposes only, I decided to assign this farm tract an unique number and re -named it farm tract 452A. 621421 Database Version 3.1 Date Printed: 02-07-2013 Narrative Page Page 1 of 1 Nutrients applied in accordance with this plan will be supplied from the following source(s): Commercial Fertilizer is included in this plan.

Realistic Yield estimates are dso provided for each crop, as well as the crop's P2O5 Removal Rate. The Leaching Index (LI) and the Phosphorous Loss Assessment -'Tool (PLAT) Rating are also provided for each field, where available.. If a field's PLAT Rating is High, any planned manure application is limited to the phosphorous removal rate of the harvested plant biomass for the crop rotation or multiple years in the crop sequence. Fields with a Very High PLAT Rating should receive no additional applications of manure. Regardless of the PLAT rating, starter fertilizers may be recommended in accordance with North Carolina State University guidelines or recommendations.

Date Printed: 2/7/2013 Specification Page 2 NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT and WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION Practice Job Sheet: NC-590/633 (February 2009) Prepared for: vo. n�z.� s LLB By:.-f- Farm: Tract: �i T Date: 41J 11 //-_j WHAT IS NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT? The conservation practice, Nutrient Management, is managing the amount, source, placement, form and timing of the application of nutrients and soil amendments to achieve realistic production goals, while minimizing nutrient movement to surface or ground waters. The practice, Waste Utilization, is using agricultural waste such as manure or wastewater in an environmentally sound manner. These practices are jointly accomplished through the development of a Nutrient Management/Waste Utilization Plan, which is normally part of a broader Conservation Plan that addresses multiple natural resource concerns on the land. You are encouraged to develop a Comprehensive Nutrient Management Plan (CLAMP), which addresses all resource concerns on your animal operation. PURPOSE OF NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT and WASTE UTILIZATION PRACTICES Your nutrient management/waste utilization plan is intended to accomplish one or more of the following objectives: • To budget and supply nutrients for plant production. • To properly utilize manure or organic by- products as a plant nutrient source. • To minimize agricultural nonpoint source pollution of surface and ground water resources. • To maintain or improve the physical, chemical, and biological condition of the soil. • To utilize agricultural wastes for livestock feed or as an energy source. • To protect air quality by reducing nitrogen emissions and the formation of atmospheric particulates CONTENTS OF THE NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT / WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN The information provided in this Job Sheet and the attachments meet the minimum requirements for a Nutrient Management Plan for USDA-NRCS purposes. This Nutrient Management Plan includes: 1. A plan map and soils map for the area planned (these may be part of the overall Conservation Plan). 2. Location of designated sensitive areas or resources (streams, wells, sinkholes, etc.) and any associated nutrient application setbacks, etc. 3. Your planned crop rotation. 4. Results of soil, plant, water tests. 5. Results from Phosphorus Loss Assessment Tool (PLAT) or Leaching Index (LI) as required. Practice Job Sheet: NC-590/633 (February 2009) page 1 A 7. Realistic yield expectations for the crops in the rotation, and their source if other then default values approved for N.C. Recommended nutrient application rates for nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, as well as timing, form, and method of application and incorporation, if applicable. This Job Sheet (or comparable - information), that provides the following: General requirements of this practice, as well as additionalrequirements to meet the natural resource protection purposes listed above. • Additional considerations specific to this plan. • Operation and maintenance information associated with this Practice. Because this Nutrient Management Plan includes agricultural organic sources, additional items are required in the plan to ensure proper waste utilization: • Waste Utilization Agreement for non - owned or leased land (if applicable) • Waste Utilization Third Party Agreement (if applicable) (Note: this will be Exhibit B found in NRCS standard 633 If for conservation planning/CNMP Purposes and may additionally include third -party documentation guidance given by the 1217 interagency Cmte and/or NC Manure Hauler Regs.) • Additional engineering design and operating information- for waste storage structures, transport, and application system, as applicable. These designs, and the instructions for operating these structures, are an integral component of your overall Nutrient Management/ Waste Utilization Plan. • Emergency Action Plan to prevent overtopping or other discharges from storage structures or facilities, as applicable. This plan was developed based on the current NRCS 590 and 633 standards and Federal, state, or local regulations or policies. Changes in laws or regulations may -- necessitate a revision of the plan. Practice Job Sheet: NC-590/633 (February 2009) BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR WASTE UTILIZATION General All manure and organic residues must be applied according to a nutrient management plan (see the following section, "BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT") You are required to acquire and comply with all federal, state, or local permit requirements related to the handling and application of manure or organic materials. The nutrient management/waste utilization plan must address all organic waste generated at or brought to the facility. A Waste Utilization Third Party Agreement must exist to address all organic waste not handled by the nutrient management/waste utilization plan. Producers are advised that all agricultural wastes that are applied on land owned or controlled by the producer shall be included in a waste management plan. Signed third -party applicator agreements do not preclude the requirement of a waste management plan for waste applied on land owned or controlled by the producer. Manure haulers must be in compliance with all aspects of Section .1400 of 15A NCAC 02T. Manure or organic wastes will not be applied to the following areas: • surface waters, • wetlands, unless constructed as a component in a waste treatment system, • soils subject to frequent flooding during the period when flooding is expected, • frozen, snow-covered, or saturated soils, • within 25 feet of perennial waters •. within 200 feet of a dwelling other than those owned by the producer, • within 100 feet of a well, • within any other setbacks as identified by federal, state, or local laws or regulations Current applicable setbacks for operations defined by Sec. 1300 of 15A NCAC 02T (formerly 2H.0200 thresholds) are available at the NC DSWC Senate Bill 1217 web site: hits✓/www.ennstate.nc.us/DSWC/ peygs/ uida nce docs.html page 2 For operations that hold either State or NPDES permits, application setbacks set forth by that facility's permit must be observed at all times. Recent NCSU research indicates that acutely acidic soil conditions contribute to high levels of water solubility of soil P reactive products when organic waste P is applied. Thus, when soil tests show that PH is below soil target pH and lime is recommended, soils should be limed to increase soil pH to soil target levels prior to application of organic.waste materials. Target pHs as established by NCDA Agronomic Division are 5.0 for Organic soil class (ORG), 5.5 for Mineral -Organic soil class (M-O), and range from 6.0 to 6.5 for Mineral soil class (MIN) depending on the crop. Manure or organic wastes will be applied in a manner not to reach surface waters, wetlands (unless constructed as a component in a waste treatment system), property owned by others, or public right-of-way. Sludge that accumulates in waste storage structures must be analyzed prior to land application. Adequate provisions (available land and/or third party manure agreements) must exist to ensure sludge is applied in adherence to all nutrient application requirements. All federal and state guidance regarding the proper testing, handling, Planning, and application of sludge must be followed for regulated operations. Since compliance with all applicable North Carolina laws is the responsibility of the Producer, you should consult the most current version of the 1217 Interagency Guidance Documents for answers to frequently asked questions. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PROVIDING LIVESTOCK FEED If applicable, all agricultural wastes or other organic residues used for feedstock must be handled in a manner to minimize contamination and preserve its feed value. Chicken litter stored for this purpose must be covered. A qualified animal nutritionist shall Practice Job Sheet: NC-590/633 (February 2009) develop rations that utilize animal wastes in supplemental feed. ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR PROVIDING A SOURCE OF ENERGY If your facility is to be used for energy Production, all. energy producing components of the system are included in the Nutrient Management/Waste Utilization Plan and Provisions for the utilization of residues of energy production identified. Your Nutrient Management Plan includes the use of these residues, if applicable. ADDITIONAL REQURRMENTS FOR PINE FOREST APPLICATION When land receiving waste is predominantly pine forest, organic fertilization must be a part Of forestry management plan developed by a qualified professional. Nutrients should not be applied to pine forests that are composed of organic or poorly drained mineral soils. For pine plantations, do not apply nitrogen during the first five Years after planting. Do not exceed 60 lbs PAN/acre/year on pine forestland, and on long -leaf pine do not exceed 30 Ibs PAN/acre/year due to increased disease Pressure caused by Nitrogen application. Higher PAN application rates on pine forestland may be approved in situations where concentrated short-term waste applications may be necessary, such as lagoon closures or lagoon sludge management. Annual soil tests, taken at a 0"-6" sampling depth, must be completed in pine forest application area to help determine Potential for P leaching; if soil test agronomic P indices are above 50, then no additional waste application should occur on forestland. A phosphorous loss assessment (PLAT) is not needed for forestland receiving waste materials. Negative impacts to streams, wetlands, and riparian buffers must be avoided when page 3 applying waste materials, and appropriate application setbacks must be observed. BASIC REQUIREMENTS FOR NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT General Application of nutrients must comply with all applicable Federal, state, and local laws and regulations. The realistic yield expectations (RYEs) in this plan are based on one or more of the following: • Default values approved by the N.C. Interagency Nutrient Management Committee that incorporate soil productivity information, yield data, and research with North Carolina soils, and cropping systems. Additional information on the default values may be found at: P.11nutrients. soil. ncsu. edu • Documented actual yield data from the site, determined by the average of the highest three yields of the last five consecutive specific crop harvests. (For forage crops, determine the average of the highest three years of the last five years.) • A fertilization rate recommended by North Carolina State University may be used in cases where no yield data or approved RYE values exist for a crop. An RYE inferred from a similar crop on a soil with similar physical and chemical features may be used for new crops or in the absence of other RYE data. This inferred RYE may ONLY be specified by a certified Nutrient Management planner. Erosion, runoff, and water management controls have been planned, as needed, on fields that receive nutrients. When land receiving waste from a confined animal feeding operation is grazed by livestock, nutrients from any off -site forage should be accounted for in the nutrient management plan and quantified in approved recordkeeping forms. Soil Testing This nutrient management plan has been developed based on current soil test results (no older than three years). Soil samples must be collected and prepared in accordance with North Carolina State University or the North. Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (NCDA&CS) Agronomic Division standards or recommendations. Soil test analyses can be performed by any laboratory or program that is certified by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR), Division of Water Quality, Laboratory Section. NCDA&CS Agronomic iDivision uses the Mehlich-3 extractant process for soil testing. Growers who utilize other laboratories must request the use of the Mehlich-3 methodology to ensure the test results are compatible with North Carolina's nutrient management planning and assessment tools. For statewide consistency, all laboratories used must provide fertilization recommendations using guidelines and methodologies as referenced at the NCDACS website: www.ncaqr.comlacironomilobook.htm Growers are encouraged to use a laboratory that is supported by field research within the state. Soil testing shall include analysis for all nutrients for which specific information is needed -to develop the nutrient plan. Plant Tissue Testing Tissue sampling and testing, when used, shall be done in accordance with North Carolina State University or NCDA&CS standards or recommendations. Practice Job Sheet: NC-590/633 (February 2009) page 4 Manure Testing Nutrient values of manure and organic by- products shall be established for planning Purposes based on laboratory analysis, acceptable default values, or historic records for the operation. When determining actual application rates, a laboratory analysis is required. State regulations require that waste be tested within 60 days of utilization for some operations: In the case of daily spreading, the waste must be sampled and analyzed at least once a year. Acceptable laboratories include the NCDA&CS Agronomic Division, or others certified by the NCDENR. Field Risk Assessment A field -specific assessment of the potential for phosphorus transport from each field owned, controlled or leased by the producer in the waste management plan (or groups of similar fields) has been conducted, using the North Carolina Phosphorus Loss Assessment Tool (PLAT). Additional Information on PLAT can be found at the NC Nutrient Management website: htt ://nutrients.soil. ncsu. edu/ PLAT assesses the potential for phosphorus (P) to be transported from the site to surface water through each of the four primary loss pathways: • sediment -bound P transported through erosion, • soluble P transported through surface runoff, • soluble P leached through the soil profile, and • non -incorporated source P transported through surface runoff. Based on the assessment of each loss pathway, PLAT produces a single rating for each field. As shown below, this rating will identify whether nitrogen or phosphorus shall be the rate -determining element in developing \__- ie planned application rate for manure. PLAT Ratin Nutrient A lication Criteria Practice Job Sheet: NC-590/633 (February 2009) LOW~`—�— - — - Nitrogen -based manure a lication, MEDIUM Nitrogen -based manure a lication. HIGH Manure application li term dot phosphorus removal from site in harvested lent biomass. VERY HIGH No additional manure or starter P application to be specified in Ian for the site. On all sites, regardless of the PLAT rating, starter fertilizers may be recommended in accordance with NCSU guidelines or recommendations. Current NCSU recommendations are that no starter P is to be applied to soils or sites that have Very High PLAT ratings. In some cases, specific conservation practices that reduce the potential for phosphorus transport have been incorporated into PLAT. Examples include buffers or filter strips, Ponds, water table management, and residue management and conservation tillage. Similarly, soil erosion rates, either existing or Planned, have been incorporated into your PLAT analysis. This information is shown on the PLAT results enclosed. Because the management of the site actually affects the PLAT rating, all practices identified on the PLAT analysis (including any required to achieve the specified erosion rate) must be either already installed or included in a Conservation Plan for the Nutrient Management Plan to be approved. Research results have shown that alum or other similar compounds may bind to phosphate in poultry litter, thus making phosphorous less susceptible to losses in runoff where litter is applied. It is important to note that PLAT does not currently recognize treatment of poultry litter with any additive as having a "reducing" effect on P loss. These Products have also been shown to reduce ammonia levels in poultry houses. Nutrient APplication Rates Recommended nutrient application rates are based on North Carolina State University or NCDA&CS recommendations that consider T%Q- Q current soil test results, RYEs, and management. Liming material shall be applied as needed to adjust soil pH to the specific range required by the crop or crops in the rotation for optimum availability and utilization of nutrients. The application amount and rate (in/hr) for liquid wastes (e.g. applied through irrigation) shall not result in runoff from .the site. The application shall not exceed the field capacity of the soil. The planned rates of nutrient application are shown on the attached sheets. These rates have been computed as follows: Nitrogen Appliication - When the plan is nitrogen -based (a PLAT rating of Low or Medium), the application rate of manure or organic by-products shall be based on the recommended nitrogen rate using the RYE for the site (or a rate recommended by NCSU or NCDA in the case of crops without established RYEs). This may result in an application rate for other nutrients that exceeds the soil test recommendation. • When the plan is being implemented on a phosphorus standard (a PLAT rating of High or Very High), manure or other organic by-products shall be applied at rates consistent with the phosphorus application guidance below. In such situations, an additional nitrogen application from non -organic sources may be required to supply nitrogen at the rate recommended by the RYE. • Within the limits allowed by PLAT, manure or other organic by-products may be applied on soybeans at rates equal to the estimated removal of nitrogen in harvested Plant biomass. • Phosphorus Application - When manure or other organic by-products are used, the planned rates of phosphorus application shall be based on the PLAT rating for the site, as follows: Low or Medium Ratin - The planned manure or organic by-product application rate is based on the nitrogen needs of the crop. Hict-- h-- R- a- tin - The planned manure or organic by-product application rate is limited to the phosphorus removal rate of the harvested plant biomass. Very HZ Rating - No additional manure, organic by-product, or starter P application is specified in the plan. On all sites, regardless of the PLAT rating, starter fertilizers containing nitrogen, Phosphorus, and potassium may be recommended in accordance with North Carolina State University guidelines or recommendations. Starter fertilizers must be accounted for in the nutrient management plan as part of the nutrient balance for the crop.: Current NCSU recommendations are that no starter P is to be applied to soils or sites that have Very High PLAT ratings. A single application of phosphorus applied as manure or organic by-product may be made at a rate equal to the recommended phosphorus application. or estimated phosphorus removal in harvested plant biomass for the crop rotation or multiple Years in the crop sequence. When such single applications are made,. the rate shall: ♦ not exceed the recommended All nitrogen rates for hay production are for nitrogen application rate during the Pure grass stands.

(This is particularly critical in situations where a potentially harmful nutrient imbalance in crops or forages may occur, such as grass tetany). When using manure or other organic sources, the addition of Potassium from non -organic sources may be required. Other Plant Nutrients - The planned rates of application of other nutrients if applicable are consistent with North Carolina State University or the NCDA&CS guidelines or recommendations. Nutrient Application Timing Timing of nutrient application shall -- correspond as closely as possible with plant nutrient uptake characteristics, while considering cropping system limitations, Practice Job Sheet: NC-590/633 (February 2009) weather and climatic conditions, and field accessibility. Nutrients shall not be applied to frozen, snow-covered, or saturated soil. Manure or organic by-products shall not be applied more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. For nutrients applied through irrigation systems, application equipment should be Properly calibrated to ensure uniform distribution of material at planned rates. Plan Review and Revision Period A thorough review and revision (if needed) of the nutrient management plan shall be conducted on a regular cycle, not to exceed five years. State and/or NPDES permitting conditions may require more frequent plan reviews and/or revisions. For NPDES operations, changes to the plan may trigger Permit revision process. Heavy Metals Monitoring For animal waste, including sludge, zinc and copper concentrations shall be monitored and alternative crop sites for application shall be sought when these metals approach excessive concentrations. The following criteria and actions are provided: When sewage sludge is applied, the accumulation of potential pollutants (including arsenic, cadmium, copper, lead, selenium, and zinc) in the soil shall be monitored in accordance with the US Code, Reference 40 CFR, Parts 403 and 503, and applicable state and local laws or regulations. Additional information on heavy metal: criteria for sewage sludge may be found in Land Application of Sewage Sludge, EPA/831-B-93-002b publication number at: .htt ./Awww.e a. ov/n desf ubs✓slud e. df ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR MINIMIZING DELIVERY OF NUTRIENTS TO SURFACE AND GROUND WATER In areas that have been identified as impaired with agricultural nutrients being a likely source, an assessment shall be completed "of page 7 the potential for nitrogen or phosphorus transport from the site. (The streams/water bodies in this category are listed in the USDA- NRCS Field Office Technical Guide, Section I, and the list is also available in the NCANAT software.) This nutrient management plan IS NOT in an area where surface waters are impaired, with agricultural nutrients identified as a likely source. The Leaching Index (LI) is not required. YES This nutrient management plan IS in an area where surface waters are impaired, with agricultural nutrients identified as a likely source. The Leaching Index (LI) is included in this plan. While the results of the LI do not affect your Planned nutrient application rates, some additional conservation practices may be specified in the plan to reduce the risk of nutrient movement from the field, if applicable. IMPORTANCE OF MANAGING NUTRIENTS Nitrogen and phosphorus are water soluble elements and either or both may be a component of organic and inorganic fertilizers. In soluble forms, both can move with water as leachate down through the soil, or over the soil surface as runoff after rainfall. While nitrogen and phosphorus exist in different forms and may move through different transport processes on the same site, they both can have detrimental effects on both surface and shallow ground water quality. As an example, excess nutrients can result in accelerated eutrophication with severe algal blooms and fish kills. Because of the topography, hydrology, and other factors in the state, the environmental Problems from excess nutrients reaching �- surface water may not be exhibited. near the contributing source, but rather create water quality problems far downstream. Practice Job Sheet: NC-590/633 (February 1009) Consequently, the Neuse River Basin, Tar - Pamlico Basin, the Chowan River, the watershed of the B. Everett Jordan Reservoir, and the watershed of the New River in Onslow County are listed as Nutrient Sensitive waters in North Carolina. Nitrogen: Nitrogen applied as fertilizer or organic material is transformed into nitrate and can move with the water moving downward into the shallow ground water and eventually to surface waters. (Relatively small amounts of nitrogen reach our surface waters through rainfall runoff. ) The Leaching Index (LI) is a required part of the nutrient management plan in some areas of the state with surface water impairments. The LI uses soils information and local climate data to assess the potential hazard from leaching of nutrients. The results of the LI analysis and recommended actions are included in your nutrient management plan, if applicable. Phosphorus: Research in recent decades indicates that, with high soil phosphorus levels, phosphorus has more potential to be transported off -site than recognized in the past. Phosphorus can be transported in several ways: (1) attached to soil particles leaving the field through erosion, (2) in soluble form leaving the field in surface runoff, and (3) in soluble form leaching downward through the soil profile, and eventually into surface water. Unlike nitrogen, the most likely transport pathway for phosphorus varies by site, and depends upon such factors as soil erosion rate, soil phosphorus levels, texture of soils, existence of buffers, and other factors. In N.C., PLAT is the tool used to assess potential excessive phosphorus losses. The results of the PLAT analysis and recommended actions are included in your nutrient management plan, if applicable. If a site receives a PLAT rating of Low or Medium, then applying manure at rates based on the nitrogen needs of the crop is allowed. It is important to realize that this may result in phosphorus being applied at rates that significantly exceeds the crop's phosphorus removal rate. In these cases, the planned nutrient application rate is not sustainable, And eventually a PLAT rating of High may be reached. page 8 • Quantities, analyses and sources of OPERATION & MAINTENANCE nutrients applied (When the actual You are responsible for safe operation and rates used exceed the recommended and planned rates on inorganic maintenance of this practice, including all fertilizer plans, records should indicate equipment.
