Narrative
Operation originally certified under T A McRae III, Dale assumed ownership (from his dad). Original
certification to DEM 6/30/94. Lagoon design by D. Butler- Carroll's Foods. Design approval by NRCS.
Wettable Acres determination completed on 10/4/99. Disposal fields owned by T A McRae III
(w/agreement). Original lease agreement incorporated into this WUP. This plan was updated in 7/2/99 to
reflect NRCS-FOTG 633 figures as generally requested by DWQ Permitting Section. It was noted at this
time that there were inconsistencies created between temporary storage volume in the lagoon design and
the Waste Utilization Plan (WUP). Lagoon was constructed to NRCS Standards and Specifications.
This plan amended to put in new format and to show application windows as per 7th guidance document,
appendix l.l a. NOTE: Fields 1 and 2 show dominant soil series instead of average of the soils in the
field as was shown in previous WUP. This changed some parameters such as total PAN required in these
fields. Total Nitrogen utilization is basically the same.

The Irrigation Application Factors for each field in this plan are shown in the following table. Infiltration
rate varies with soils. If applying waste nutrients through an irrigation system,you must apply at a rate that
will not result in runoff. This table provides the maximum application rate per hour that may be applied to
each field selected to receive wastewater. It also lists the maximum application amount that each field may
receive in any one application event.

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate of the number of acres needed for
sludge utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen
concentrations for each 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 of the effluent. At
clean out, this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases,the
priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous, copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since
nutrient levels are generally very high, application of sludge 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 should be taken not to load effluent application fields with
high amounts of copper and zinc so that additional effluent 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.

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate of the number of days of storage capacity
available at the end of each month of the plan. Available storage 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 holding 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. If the 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 the 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.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
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 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 10 tons per acre per year provided grass
filter strips are installed where runoff leaves the field (see USDA, NRCS
Field Office Technical Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking 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).
555623 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 7/16/02 Specification Page 1

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 odor and flies.
g. 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 a 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. 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 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.
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 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.
555623 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 7/15/02
Specification Pale 2

16. 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.
555623 Database Version 2.0 Date Printed: 7/15/02 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.

Adaptation: Well-adapted.
In the Piedmont, tall fescue can be planted Aug. 20 to Oct. 10 (best) and Feb. 15 to Mar. 20. For
pure-stand broadcast seedings use 20 to 30 lb/ac., for drilled use 15 to 20 lb/ac. seed. Use certified seed to
avoid introducing weeds or annual ryegrass. Plant seed 0.25" to 0.5" deep for pure stands, 0.25" in
mixture with clovers. Soil test for preplant and maintenance lime, phosphorus, and potassium
recommendations. Apply 40 to 60 Ib/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 Ib/ac. N to
pure-stand fescue for hay production; reduce N rates by 25% for grazing. Apply N Feb. 1 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.

This plan will be implemented in the event that wastes from your operation are leaking,
overflowing, or running off site. 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.
1 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 �,%ater 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.
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.
1 December 18, 1996

e. 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 the 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. Are potable water wells in danger(either on or off of the property)?
h. How much reached surface waters?
3. Contact appropriate agencies.
a. During normal business hours. call your DWQ(Division of Water Quality)regional office:
Phone[phone]NIfter hours. emergency number: 919-733-3942. Your phone call

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
712199
Producer: tCc grower for. Carroll's Foods
Location: RR 2 BOX 385 Qc Facility Number: 04-5
WADESBORO NC 28170 0.200 Certified#: N000112
S of SRI649,1 mile W of intersedion SR1627 Lat: 35°-03'-10" Long. 80%03'-45"
Telephone: [phone]
Type Operation: Swine - wean-feeder
Number of Animals: 7040 (Design Capacity)
Storage Structure: Anerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon
Application Method: irrigated
Animal waste must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water and/or groundwater.
Plant nutrients in animal waste should be used to reduce amounts of commercial fertilizer required for crops (in
the fields where the waste is 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 fertilizer value of
animal waste; and, to ensure that it is applied in an environmentally safe manner:
1). Always apply waste based on crop needs and nutrient content of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen.
than the crop can utilize.
2). Soil types are important...they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange
capacities, and available water holding capacities.
3). Normally waste shall not be applied to land erodingat 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.
4). Do not apply waste on saturated soils, when it is raining, or when the soil surface is frozen. Any of
these conditions may result in runoff to surface waters which is not allowed under NCDWQ regulations.
5). Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems.
6). To maximize the value of nutrients for crop production and reduce the potential for pollution, waste should
be applied to a growing crop, to bare ground not more than 30 days prior to planting, or, to a forage within
30 days of breaking dormancy. Injecting waste or disking will conserve nutrients and reduce odor
problems.
This plan is based on the waste application method shown. Nutrient levels for different application methods are
not the same; therefore, changing application methods in the future will require a change or revision of this plan.
Estimated acres needed to apply the animal waste are based on typical nutrient content for this type of opera-
tion. Actual acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management
facility. In some cases a plant analysis may be beneficial-and, allow additional waste to be applied. The land
area receiving waste should be flexible enough to accommodate changing waste analysis content and crop type.
Lime must be applied to maintain pH in the optimum range for the crop being managed and grown.
This waste utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC 2H.0217
adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

rates. Actual field acreage may, and likely will be,more than acres shown in the tables.
- See the attached map(s)showing fields referenced in these tables.
- The producer and waste applicator are responsible for ensuring that spreader(or irrigation)equipment
is calibrated, operated properly,and applies the correct rates to the acres shown in the tables. Failure
to apply recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may invalidate this plan.
Important information for Application of Liquid Animal Waste
Refer to Waste Storage Facility Design/"As Built" Drawings or OEM Plan for amount of
temporary storage time, start pumping elevation & stop pumping elevation.
Irrigation/application rates should not exceed the intake rate for the soil at the time of irrigation...or runoff and ponding can occur.
The irrigation/application rate is controlled by initial soil moisture content,soil structure, soil texture, irrigation 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(PAN)applied exceed the nitrogen needs of the crop.
The producer and irrigation designer is responsible for ensuring that an irrigation system is installed to properly irrigate animal
waste on the acres shown in Tables 1 &2. Failure to apply recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables
may invalidate this plan. Application of liquid waste by other methods(honey-wagon,etc.)is the responsibility of the producer
The following information is provided (by soil type and crop)to plan and evaluate liquid waste application
schedules. These figures represent optimum irrigation or application rates/frequencies to meet crop water
needs and prevent water runoff.

Sludge:
This waste utilization plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of sludge at agronomic
rates. Sludge will be nutrient rich and require precautionary measures to prevent over application
Broadcast Soil Incorporated
Estimated Annual PAN from Sludge: 535 lbs. N 634 lbs. N
5yr Sludge Accumulation: 2675 lbs. N 3168 lbs. N
Based on a 5 year sludge removal schedule, estimated land area required for sludge disposal is:
14.9 acres of grass based on an application rate of 180 lbs. N per acre
39.6 acres of corn/soybeans based on an application rate of 80 lbs. N per acre
All the above figures are only estimates. Actual PAN and land area needed could vary 25% or more depending
on sludge nutrient analysis. soil types, crop, realistic yield, and application method. Likewise, sludge
disposal on a schedule other than every 5 years would drastically alter these estimates
Contact your technical specialist at the BROWN CREEK Soil&Water Conservation District-Natural
Resources Conservation Service (formerly the Soil Conservation service) Office in Wadesboro, (704)
694-2710, when you receive a waste analysis report. Request assistance calculating
allowable application rates and amounts prior to applying waste.

allowing use of their land for waste application. The owner of the animal facility is responsible for securing an
updated Waste Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation....such as increased animal numbers,
method of waste application, or change in available land for waste utilization.
3. 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 of other nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre per year. Waste may be applied to land
eroding at 5 or more tons,but less than 10 tons per acre per year providing grass filter strips are installed where
runoff leaves the field. [See FOTG Standard 393 - Filter Strips].
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting 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& Climate in North Carolina" in
NRCS Field Office Technical Reference File-ENVIRONMENT for guidance).
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...to control odor and flies.
8. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils,during rainfall events, or when the 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 a depth that would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be considered.
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 to crops more than 30 days prior to
planting, or to forages more than 30 days prior to breaking dormancy.
11. Any new swine facility sited on or after October 1, 1995 shall comply with the following: Waste application
cannot occur within 50 feet from a residential property boundary;a perennial stream, river,canal or irrigation ditch.
For other animal operations or swine facilities sited before October 1, 1995-waste application cannot occur within
25 feet of perennial waters [See FOTG Standard 393 -Filter Strips]. NOTE: Local ordinances may preempt this.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
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
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 run-
off or drift from the site.
16. 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 break-
downs, 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 human consumption it should only be applied preplant 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 animal waste lagoons. Pumping shall be managed to maintain liquid levels between the markers. A
marker will be required to mark the maximum storage volume for waste storage ponds.
22. Waste shall be tested within 60 days of utilization and soil shall be tested at least annually at crop sites where
waste is applied. Nitrogen shall be the plant food element that determines application rates. Soil zinc and copper
levels shall be monitored and alternative crop sites used when these elements approach excessive levels. pH shall
be adjusted and maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis records shall be maintained for
5 years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be kept for three(3)years. Waste application records for all
other waste shall be kept for five(5)years.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations.
