4UT'RIENT MANAGEMENT PLAN
Grower(s): gar�, Bit_, Ra-9 I r lLl✓�OIU��,
Farm Name: Nursery
County: Bladen
Farm Type: Wean-Feed
Farm Capacity: 2600
Storage Structure: Anaerobic Lagoon
Storage Period: ISO days
Application Method: Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent pollution
of surface water arWor 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_
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 be applied to land eroding at less than 5 tons per acre per
year. 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.
4. 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 DWQ regulations.
5. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor
Page: 1

problems.
6. 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. In some cases you may want to have 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 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.
AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons,ft3, tons, etc.):
2600 animals X 223 gaVanimaVyear = 578,890 gallons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN PRODUCED PER YEAR (lbs):
2600 animals X 0.48 lbs/animaVyear = 1,248.00 Ibs
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,
soil type, and surface application.

NOTE:
This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate lant
available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above. p
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 onty addresses nitrogen.
In interplanted fields(i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded in bermuda), forage must be removed
through grazing, hay, and/or silage. Where grazing, plants should be
ed when they
reach a height of sic 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 let small grain reach maturity, especially late in the season (i.e.
April or May). Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definately 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 the
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 cut to a height of
about two inches before drilling for best results.

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 property
irrigate the acres shown in the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and
amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid.

application amount shown can be applied under optimum soil conditions.
Your facility is designed for 180 days 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 the
waste stoned in your structure be within the 25 year 24 hour storm storage or one foot of
freeboard except in the event of the 25 year 24 hour storm_
It is the responsiability of the producer and waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment
is operated property 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 prior to applying the waste.

WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
REQUIRED 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.
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 waste, he/she shall
provide a copy 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
facility to secure an update of the Waste Utilization Plan when
there is a change in the operation, increase i-h the number of
animals, method of utilization, or available land.
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, climatic conditions, and
level of management, unless there are regulations that restrict
the rate of application -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 that is 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 Strip)
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after
waste application. Waste should not be applied when there is
danger of drift from the irrigation field.
5. -_When animal waste is to 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's 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 in order
to -control odor or 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
in such
a manner that the crop is not covered with wastentoCps aodepth that
would inhibit growth. The potential for salt damage from animal
waste should also be considered.

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.
+► I. 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 berry to increase elevatioh of dam.
b. Pump wastes to fields-at an acceptable rate.
C. Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
a. 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 contaih 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.
s d. Stop all flows in the house, flush systems, or
solid separators.
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- K
possible action: -
a. Dig a small well or ditch 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 and surface waters?

C vaortafity Management 'fti ethods
-S i Y i f i i'fY1 Indicate which method(s)w#1 be implemented.
When selecting multiple methods indicate a primary versus secondary option.
Methods other than those listed must be approved by the State Veterinarian.
Primary Secondary Routine Mortality
a 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 be at least one foot above the seasonal
high water table.Attach burial location map and plan.
El Landfillat municipal solid waste facility permitted by NC DEQ under GS 15A NCAC
13B.0200.
Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S. 106-168.7.
DComplete 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 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).
Q ❑ Any method which,in the professional opinior,%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).
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 excead 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.

This lagoon -is designed for waste treatment with minimum '
odor control . The time required far the planned level to be
reached may vary due_ to so i I cond i t i antis, f l ush i n'g
operations, and the amount of fresh water added to the
system. This lagoon does riot have design storage for fresh
water. Once the effluent depth in lagoon is adequate for
recycling flush, fresh water should not be used. Lagoon is -
designed to store a 45 year storm rainfall event plus 'norma'I
rainfall in excess of evaporation.
Land app l i c-at i on c4i waste water- is recognized as an
acceptable method 'of disposal . Care needs to lae taken when
applying waste to prevent damage to craps Or runoff from the
field. Rate of application should not exceed 4.5 inchesY .per
hour-. Waste should be applied according to sail test and
waste analysis on actively growing (grass) or immediately
prior to planting "(corn) . .
The following items are to be carried out:
I . Begin pump-out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches
the bottom of the outlet pipes. Lagoon is designed
for G month pumping cycle.
2. Stop pump-out before fluid depth is less than 6 -feet
deep (this prevents the loss of favorable bacteria) .
3. It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon
be precharged :to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive
odors during startup. Precharging reduces the concen-
tration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby
, ,fT,4- reducing odors. Solids should be covered with effluent
(` at all times.
4. }deep vegetation on the embankment and areas adjacent to
the lagoon mowed.
5.. Repair any eroded areas and .estabIish i•n vegetation.
6. Recommend that a suitable fence be constructed around
the lagoon for safety purposes.

pollutants into waters of the United States.' The
Department of Environment, health and Natural Resources,
Division of Environmental Management, has the
responsibiiity.-for enforcing this law.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon hpAd managemcet should be a year-round priority_ It is especially important to
manage levels so that you do not have problems-dining•eitende4 rainy and wet periods.
Maximum storage capacity should be available in. lagoon f N periods when the receiving crop
is dormant such as wintertime for bernnidagrass or when there are emended rainy spells such as
the thunderstorm season in the stunmertim. This means drat at the first-signs of plant growth in
the later winter/early spring,irrigation according to a-finn..waste-=Mement plan should be
done whenever the Ind is dry enough to receive bgoon-qm& This will make storage space
available in the lagoon for fi#ure wet periods. In the late summer/early fall the lagoon should be
pumped down to the low marker to allow for winter-storage. ExagLeffort should be made to
maintain the lagoon close to the mmmmm liquid level as long as the weather and waste utilization
plan wilt allow it.
Waiting until the lagoon has reached its mirage capasd befnrq starting to irrigate does
not leave room for storing excess water during extended wet periods. Overflow from the lagoon
for any reason except a 25-year,24-hour storm is a violation.of statwlaw and subject to penalty
action
LAGOON AIAMXNANCE
The routine maintenance of a lagoon involves the fallowing:
✓ Maintenance of a vestetative cover.for.the-dam_ Fescue,or common bermadagrass are the
most common vegetative covers. The vegetation should be fertilized each year,if needed,
to maintain a vigorous stand The amount-offaftzer applied should be based on a soils
test,but in the event that it is not,practicatto ob3ain_a_soJs_test each year,the lagoon
embankment and surrounding areas should be fertilized with 800 pounds per acre of
10-10-10,or equivalent.
✓ Brush and trees on the embankment must be controlled._ This-may be done by mowing,
spraying,grazing,chopping,or a combination of these practices. This should be done at
least once a year and possibly twice in years that weather conditiions are favorable for
heavy vegetative growth.
NOTE:If vegetationn is controlled by spraying,.the hefti&must_nat.be allowed to enter the
lagoon water. Such chemicals could harm the bacteria m the lagoon that are.treating-the waste.

Maintenance dons of the entire lagoon should be made during the initial filling of the lagoon
and at least monffily and after major rainM-and-storm-eventa-items to be checked should
include,as a gym,the following-
waft Inlet Pipes,Recycling Pipes,.and.Qeerflow Pipes--look for:
i _ separatm of joints
2. cracks or breaks
3. ac lattom of salts or minerals
4. overall condition.ofpipw
✓ Lagoon surface---look for.
1. undesirable vegetative growth
2. Boating or lodged debris
✓ Embankment---look for:
1. settlement,cracking,or"jug"holes
2. side slope stabffit�---slumps or bulges
3. wet or damp areas on the back slope
4. erosion due to lack ofvegeta on.or as a result of wave action
-3. rodent damage
Larger lagoons may be subject to liner damageduala mmm_ac tion caused by Strang winds.
These waves can erode the lagoon.side walls,thereby weakening the lagoon dam. A good stand
of vegetation wdl reduce the potential damage_causedtywave wbor. If wave action causes
serious damage to a lagoon side wall,baflles.in_dw.lagooamay mused to reduce the wave

Any of these features could lead to erosion-and-mg of the darn._if .your lagoon has any of.
these feahues,you should call an appropriate expert-familk with design and construction of
waste lagoons. You may need to provide-a to mperarylxifthereis-arthreat of a waste discharge
However,a permanent solution should he.reuied.by the< ates�ert. Any digging into a

2. krigation pis
Check for leaks,loose f t ngs,and overall pump operation- An_uunsuall�loud or grinding noise,
or a large amount ofvibratiant,may indicate that the pump is in need or repair or replacement.
NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that
you are not completely"surprised."by equipment fa re You-sk"pc&rm your pumpmg
system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is.at its low JvTd This wilt allow some safety
time should major repairs be required. Having.a.nea dy fall lagoon.is not the time to think about

switching,repairing,or borrowing pumps- Probably,if your lagoon is full,your neighbor's lagoon
is fuIl also. You should consider wining an inventory-of spare parts or pumps.

2. diversion capacity
3. ridge bean height
Identified problems should be corrected promptly It is-aduisahle-tart your system during or
lately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to determine proper
sohrtions,consult with appropriate experts.
You should record the level of the lagoon just prior-to when sin is_predigted,and then record the
level again 4 to 6 hours a$er the rain.(asmm es there.is.no pun>ging). This will give you an idea of
how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain raiuifakl-amounf(you must also be recording
your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help-ia planning irrigation applications and
storage. Nyour lagoon rises excessively,you may have an inflow problem from a surface water
diverdm or there may be seepage into the lagoon-from the surrounding land.
Lagoon Operation
Startup.
1. Immediately after construction establish--a- Iete-sod-cgver on bare soil surfaces
to avoid erosion.
2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at least half M of water before waste
loading begins,taking care-not-to-erode Turing or-bank slopes.
3. Drainpipes into the lagoon.shouldAuve- e pipe e4ender on the end of the
pipe to discharge near the bottom of the lagoon dw mg initial fMing or another
means of slowing the incoming water to avoid-erosion.of the lining.
4. When possible,begin loadmg.now lagoons-in-the.spihW to maximize bacterial
establishment(due to wanner weather).

5. It is recommended that a new lagoon be seeded with sludge from a healthy
working swine lagoon in the amotmt-offl_25perceaft-of the full lagoon liquid
volwn. This seeding should occur at least two weeks prior to the addition of
wastewater.
G. Maintain a periodic check on-the lagoon-lignid.pli-lfthq pH falls below 7.0, add
agricultural lime at the rate of 1 pound per 1000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid volume
until the pH rises above 7.0.-mum lagoon fipid pIfis between 7.5 and 8.0.

Sludge Removal:
Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by.
• proper lagoon sizing,
• mechanical solids separation of 8ushe&waste,.gradty settling offlushed waste solids in an
appropriately designed basin,or
• ininixxizung feed wastage and spillage.
Lagoon sludge that is removed annually rather than stored long term will:
• have more nutrients,
• have more odor,and
• require more land to properly use the nutiaents.
Removal techniques:
• hire a custom applicator.
• Mx the sludge and lagoon liquid with a.chopper-agitator bipeller pu W through
large-bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland,-and.soil incorporate.

Dewater the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or forage land;mix
remaining sludge,pump into liquid sludge'npplicater,haut-and-spread onto cropland or
forage land;and soil incorporate.
• Dewater the upper part of lagoon•by i nearby cropland or forage land;
dredge sludge from lagoon with drag line or sludge barge;berm an area beside lagoon to
receive the sludge so that hquids can drain lactic into lagoon;aWw sludge to fir,haul
and spread wi&mainve spreader onto mvpland_or.fnragaland;and soil incorporate.
Regardless ofthe method,you mold have the sludge matedslanalimed Sod waste cots Just
as you would your lagoon water. The sludge will contain dif went nutrient and metal values from
the liquid The application ofthe sludge to fields will-tie limited by these wMents as well as any
previous waste applications to that field and crop requirement.
When removing sludge,you must also payy attention.to.the liner tat prevent damage. Close
attention by the pumper or drag lime operator wilt ensure that the lagoon liner remains intact. If
you see soil material or the synthetic timer atateiial-being.dimurb*yor should stop the activity
iatelyy and.not resume.until you are sure that the sludge can be removed without liner injury.
If the liner is damaged it must be repaired as soon as possible.
Sludge removed from the lagoon has a mauch1igher phor__o rus and-lleavy metal content than
liquid- Because o£tbis it should probably be applied.to land with low phosphorus and metal
levels,as indicated by a soil test,and incorporated-to reduce the chaace-of erosion. Note that if
the sludge is applied to fields with very high.soil-test.pbosphorus,it should be applied only at
rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As with other wastes,always have your lagoon
sludge analyzed for its nutrient value
The app}icstim of sludge will increase the.amount_of odoL at_ihew.aso application site. Extra
precaution should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which could
increase the concern ofneighbors.
