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 the 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. E 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 not be applied to land eroding at more 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 in runoff to the surface waters which Is not allowed under DWQ regulations. S. Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 6. To maximize the value of the nutrients for crops 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 applications 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.Acreage requirements should be based on the waste analysis report from your waste management facility.in some cases you may want to have plant analysis made,which Haleigh Fisher Farm Page 2 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 the 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.

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 acres are reduced by 1/2 on all pulls that have a corn,wheat,soybean rotation,to allow for a two year rotation of these crops.Use the following table on the IRR 2 form.

In interplanted fields(i.e.small grain,etc.interseeded in bermudagrass),forage must be removed through grazing,hay and/or silage.Where grazing,plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine inches.Cattle should be removed when plants are grazed to a height of four inches.in fields where small grain etc,is to be removed for hay or silage,care should be exercised not to let small grain to reach maturity, especially late in the season(i.e.April or May)Shading may result if small grain gets too high and this will definitely interfere with the stand of bermudagrass.This loss of stand will result in reduced yields and less nitrogen being utilized.Rather than Gutting 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 mowed to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results. Caution must be exercised in grazing or haying summer annuals under stressed conditions.Nitrate poisoning may occur in livestock.Sampling forage or hay for nitrate levels is recommended. Acres shown in the tables are considered.to be the usable acres excluding required buffers,filters strips along ditches,odd areas unable to be irrigated,and perimeter areas not receiving full application rates due to equipment limitations.Actual total acres in the field listed may,and most likely will be,more than the acres shown in the tables. See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. SLUDGE APPLICATION: 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.Your production facility will produce approximately 2592 lbs.of plant available nitrogen per year in the sludge. If you remove sludge every 5 years you will have approximately 12960 lbs.of PAN to utilize.Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs/acre you will need 43 acres of land.if you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lbs.of nitrogen per acre you will need 104 acres of land.Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and the land needed.Actual requirements could vary by 25%depending on the sludge waste analysis,soil types,realistic yields,and application methods. APPLICATION OF WASTE BY IRRIGATION The irrigation application rate should not exceed the intake rate of the soil at the time of irrigation such that runoff or ponding occurs.This rate is limited by initial soil moisture content,soil structure,soil texture,water droplet size,and organic solids.The application amount should not exceed the available water holding capacity Haleigh Fisher Farm Page 5 of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the 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 properly irrigate the acres shown in tables. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid; The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts. �.

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 instances should the volume of the waste be stored 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 responsibility of the producer and the waste applicator to ensure that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates 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 have receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application rate prior to applying the waste. NARRATIVE OF OPERATION Mr.Fisher has purchased the property where the temporary spray field is located.Plans are to make this field part of his WUP by the end of 2018. 1. Haleigh Fisher Farm Page 7 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 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 in 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). S. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or disking after waste application.Waste shquld pp �e applied when Xhete is danger of drift from the irrigation field. OWNER- 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"for guidance.) 7. Liquid waste shall be applied at rates not to exceed the soil infiltration rate that runoff does not occur offsite or to the surface waters and in a method which does not cause drift from the site during application.No pondiing 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 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 more than 30 days prior to planting of the crop or forages breaking dormancy. 11.

Review the plan periodically to determine if adjustments or modifications to the plan are needed. In NC,animal operations permitting provisions may specify more frequent review periods. Adhere to the following operation and maintenance provisions: • Protect fertilizer and organic byproduct storage facilities from weather and accidental leakage or spillage. • Properly calibrate application equipment to ensure uniform distribution of material at planned rates. • Workers should be protected from and avoid unnecessary contact with inorganic fertilizers and organic by-products. Extra caution must be taken when handling ammonia sources of nutrients, or when dealing with organic wastes stored in unventilated enclosures. • The disposal of material generated by the cleaning of nutrient application equipment should be accomplished properly. Excess material should be collected and stored or field applied in an appropriate manner. Excess material should not be applied on areas of high potential risk for runoff or leaching. • Disposal or recycling of nutrient containers should be done according to state and local guidelines or regulations. page 5 a9 _ ,_Chat DEVICES TO AUTOMATICALLY STOP IRRIGATION EVENTS STATE GENERAL PERMITS The State of North Carolina has issued State General Permits for animal facilities to operate in North Carolina.

The time required for the planned fluid level to be reached (permanent + temporary storage) may vary due to flushing operations and the amount of fresh water- to be added to the system. The designed c months temporary storage is an estimated volume based on : 1 ) waste from an ima i s ; ) excess rainfall after- evaporation; and 3) the largest 24 hour (one day) rainfall that occurs on the average of once every 25 years. The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year. This pstimate is fused on 7 inches of excess rainfall which is equal to or exceeds the highest 6 months excess In a year . The average annual excess raiofa1l is approximately 8 inches . Therefore , an average of 8 inches of excess rainfall will need to be pumped each year . The 25 year rainfall wi i I not be a factor to consider in an annual pumping cycle, but this storage volume must always be available. A maximum elevation is determined in each design to begin pumping and this is usually the outlet invert of pipe( s) from building( s) . If the outlet pipe is not installed on the elevation to begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed can this elevation to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation roust be established to stop pumping to maintain minimum treatment depth, (ram feet) . Pumping can be started or stepped any time between these two elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit (weather, soils , crop, and equipment to apply waste without runoff or leaching) . Land application of waste water- is recognized as an acceptable method of disposal . Methods of application include solid set , renter- pivot, guns, and traveling gun irrigation . Care should be taken when applying waste to prevent runoff from the field or damage to crops. The following items are to be carried out; 1 . It is strongly recommended tha the treatment lagoon be pre-- charged to 1!2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during start-up. Pre-charging reduces ti-►e concentration of the initial waste entering the lagoon thereby reducing odors . Solids should be covered with effluent at all times. When pre-- charging is completed, flush buildings with recycled lagoon liquid. Fresh water- should not be used for flushing after initial filling. 2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This plan recommends sampling and testing of waste ( see Attachment ram) before land application. Begin pump out ,�f the lagoon when fluid level reaches e I eva- ti +an 51 .80 as marked by permanent markers . Stop PUMP-Out when the fluid level reaches elevation 49.Q or before fluid depth is less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the ( toss of favorable bacteria) . The design temporary storage, less 25 year- storm is 280656 cubic feet or 2099304 gallons . As stated before , this volume will vary considerably from year to year. 4. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is one ( 1 ) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.4 inches per hour. 5. Keep vegetation an embankment and areas adjacent to the lagoon mowed annually. Vegetation should be fertilized as needed to maintain a vigorous stand. 6. Repair + any eroded areas or areas damaged by rodents and estabiish in vegetation. 7. All surface runoff is to be ,diverted from the lagoon to stable outlets. 8. Keep a minimum of 100 feet cropland buffer- or 25 feet of grass vegetated buffer around waste utilization fields , particularly adjacent to ponds, lakes, streams, open ditches, etc . Do not pump within 300 feet of a residence or within 100 feet of a we 1 l . 9. The Clean Water- Act of 1977 prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States . The Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources, Division of Environ- mental Management, has the responsibility for enforcing this law.

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 response to problems are listed below: A. Lagoon overflow-possible solutions are: a. Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam,any permanent alteration of the dam should be approved by qualified technical specialist. b. Pump wastes to field at an acceptable rate. c. Stop all additional flow to the lagoon, hold wastes in the house if possible. d. Call a pumping contractor. e. Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon. B. Runoff from wastes application field-action include: a. Immediately stop wastes application. b. Create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste. c. incorporate waste to reduce further 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 sprinkler-action includes: a. Stop recycle(flushing system) pump. b. Stop irrigation pump. c. Close values to eliminate further discharge. d. Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps. D. Leakage from flush system, houses, solids separators-action includes: a. Stop recycle (flushing system)pump. b. Stop irrigation pump. c. Make sure no siphon effect has been created. 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-possible action: ` R a. Dig a small sump or ditch to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and pump back into 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 sidewalls and the 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 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 DWR (Division of Water Resources) regional office, at 910-796-7399, after hours, emergency number: 1-800- 858-0368.Your phone call should include:YOUR NAME, FACILITY NUMBER, TELEPHONE NUMBER,THE DETAILS OF TE INCIDENT FROM ITEM #2 ABOVE, THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE FACILITY, AND THE LOCATION OR DIRECTION OF MOVEMENT OF THE SPILL,WEATHER AND WIND CONDITIONS,THE CORRECTIVE MEASURES THAT HAVE BEEN UNDER TAKEN,AND THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE SITUATION. b. If the spill leaves the property or enters surface waters, call local (EMS) Emergency Management Services at 910-640-6610. c. Instruct EMS to contact local Health Department. d. Contact local Soil and Water Conservation District, Natural Resources Conservation Service office at 910-642-2196 and Cooperative Extension Service at 910-640-6605 for advice/technical assistance. 4. If none of the above works call 911 or the sheriffs Department and explain your problem to them and ask that person to contact the proper agencies for you. S. Contact the contractor of your choice to begin repair of the problem to minimize off- site damage. a. Contractors Name: Reaon,J 3Aerce y b. Contractors Address: Co'4J>WVA� hI e- c. Contractors Phone: 9 fo-9l8-S�1 Page 2 Er qk b. Contact the technical specialist who certified the lagoon. a. Name: eDWAkP a`DAV'S b. Phone: 910 - 642-2/9�-x 3 7. Implement procedures as advised by DWR and technical assistance agencies to rectify the damage, repair the system,and reassess the waste management plan to keep problems with release of wastes from happening again. 8. If you are a contract swine grower associated with a swine company integrator, contact the company representative at 910-592-5771. Page 3
