Mortality Management Methods
Indicate which method(s) will be im lemented.
When selecting multiple methods indicate a prima versus secondary option.
Methods other than those listed must be approved by the State Veterinarian.
Primary Secondary Routine Mortality
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 shoLild beat least one foot above the seasonal
high water table.Attach burial location map and plan.
Landfill at municipal solid waste facility permitted by NC DEQ under GS 15A NCAC
13B .0200.
Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under .S. 106-168.7.
ZComplete incineration according to 02 NCAC 5 C .0102.
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.
El In the case of dead poultry only, placing in a dis osal pit of a size and design approved by the
NC Department of Agriculture&Consumer Services (G.S. 106-549.70).
Any method which, in the professional opinion o 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 musi be attached).
Mass Mortality Plan
Mass mortality plans are required for farms cov red 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 disposaloptions; contact the Division for guidance.
• A catastrophic mortality disposal plan is part of the facility's CAWMP and is activated
when numbers of dead animals exceed nor al mortality rates as specified by the State
Veterinarian.
• Burial must be done in accordance with NC eneral 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.

Practice Location: 5015 E.Hwy 218 Monroe,NC 28110 Tract/Field ID: 3995/1
(Lat/Long or UTM Coord, or Sec/TS/R)
Expected Lifespan
The minimum expected lifespan of this practice is at least 15 years.
Operation & Maintenance Re uir ments
The waste treatment lagoon was designed and installed to provide storage for biological treatment of
animal or other agriculture waste. The estimated life span of this installation is at least 15 years. The life
span of this practice can be assured an usually increased by developing and carrying out an operation
and maintenance(O&M)program.
You are required to perform inspections and O&M activities in order for this practice to achieve the
intended function, benefits, and design life. Items to inspect, operate, and maintain during the estimated
design life of this practice include, but are not limited to,the following:
© Operational requirements for em tying the waste treatment lagoon including the expected storage
period. Begin removal of the liqL id from the waste treatment lagoon as soon as practical after the
maximum operating level has bean reached. Also include the requirement that waste be removed
from the lagoon and utilized at to ations, times, rates, and volume in accordance with the overall
waste management system plan.
• Include an explanation of the staff gauge or other permanent marker to indicate the maximum
operating level and the maximurr operational drawdown.
® A provision for emergency remov I and disposition of liquid waste in the event of an unusual storm
event that may cause the waste treatment lagoon structure to fill to capacity prematurely.
Instructions as needed for ventilating confined spaces according to ASABE standard S607, Venting
Manure Storages to Reduce Entry Risk.
An emergency action plan for lag ons where there is a potential for significant impact from breach
or accidental release. Include site-specific provisions for emergency actions that will minimize
these impacts.
• A description of the routine maintenance needed for each component of the facility. Also include
provisions for maintenance that may be needed as a result of waste removal or material
deterioration.
• Instructions for keeping records on sludge accumulation and removal of sludge when the sludge
accumulation reaches the maximum residual solids storage level.
o Include instructions for anaerobic lagoons for including a precharging volume at lagoon startup or
following sludge removal. Prech rge the anaerobic lagoon with fresh water equal to the MTV prior
to volatile solids loading.
For Anaerobic lagoons, provide instruction on timing removal and spreading of wastewater in a
manner that will reduce odor release.
NRCS, NC O&M - Page 1 of 2 February 2019

Specific Site Requirements
The lagoon is used to store wash water from the egg processing line. Prior to wash water entering the lagoon,it
passes through a drop box where all solids settle out. This drop box is cleaned routinely and solids sent to the
county waste treatment facility. The pipe leading to the lagoon should be checked routinely. A vegetative cover
shall be maintained on the banks of the lagoon to reduce erosion.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
1. Animal waste shall not re ch 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 prc ducer 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 ba ed upon soil type, available moisture, storical 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 app ied 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 lea es the field (see USDA, MRCS Field Office Technical
Guide Standard 393 - Filter Strips).
s. Odors can be reduced by i ijecting the waste or by disking after waste
application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift from
the land application field.

s. When animal waste is to tie 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).
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 c ntrol odor and flies.
s. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or
when the soil surface is frozen.
9. Animal waste shall be app ied 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.
io. Nutrients from waste shal 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 facilitie sited on or after October 1, 1995, shall not be
applied closer than 25 feel to perennial waters.
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet

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, drainage ways, 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, aste shall be applied at agronomic rates in a
manner that causes no runoff or drift from the site.
16. Domestic and industrial w ste from wash down facilities, showers, toilets,
sinks, etc., shall not be discharged into the animal waste management
system.
17. A protective cover of appr priate 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.

2o. 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 sha I 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 torage ponds.
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 rat . 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 aste 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) ears.
23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina
regulations.

Dry fitter Poultry Requirements
Per NC General Statute 143-215.1 C and Administrative Code in 15A NCAC 02T.1303, dry litter
poultry operations are deemed permitted. This means that while these operations are not
required to apply for permits,they ust follow general requirements as outlined in statutes and
rules. Following is a summary of these requirements for all dry litter operations over 30,000 birds.
1. Litter shall not be stockpiled wil hin 100 feet of perennial streams, waterbodies, or wells.
2. Stockpiled litter shall not be left uncovered for more than 15 days.
3. For land application, a setback of 25 feet from perennial streams and perennial waterbodies
must be maintained. However, land appliers should be aware of setbacks from all ditches
and intermittent streams. Runoff of litter due to improper land application can lead to
discharges which can result in violations or enforcement actions.
NOTE: Even if the above requirements are met, it is still the responsibility of the generator or
manure hauler(if used) to make sure that there is no discharge to waters of the State.
4. Litter shall be applied at rates t at do not exceed the agronomic rate of the receiving crop.
The rates may be based on NC E epartment of Agriculture & Consumer Services (NCDA&CS)
soil test recommendations or Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) Standards. For
more information on realistic yield expectations (RYE), contact a technical specialist with
the Cooperative Extension Servi e, NRCS, NCDA&CS, or your local Soil and Water
Conservation District.
5. Develop and maintain a Waste Utilization Plan (Nutrient Management Plan). At a minimum,
the waste plan must contain a list of fields used for land application,the crops to be grown,
and the maximum application rate for each crop/field. While recommended, it is not
required for plans be developed by a certified technical specialist. An example waste plan is
available at http://www.ncagr.gov/SWC/tech/`guidancedocuments.htm'
6. Litter shall be sampled as close to the time of application as practical, but at least within 60
days of the land application event. If manure is given or sold to a 31 party, it is still the
responsibility of the generator to conduct the waste analysis, and provide a copy to the 31
party or manure hauler.
The state average nitrogen (N) Content for dry litter as shown in the North Carolina
Agricultural Chemical Manual published annually by NC State University may be used to
calculate application rates in lieu of individual waste analysis; however, waste analysis is still
required. Information on waste z nalysis procedures is available from the Cooperative
Extension Service, publication number AG-439-33,Soil Facts: Waste Analysis, at
https://content.ces.ncsu.edu/waste-analvsis.
State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality I Division of Water Resources
1 ater Quality Regional Operations Section
1636 Mail Service Center I Raleigh.North Carolina27699-1636
ML 919-707-9129

7. A soil analysis is required at least once every three years for all fields that receive litter using
the standard soil fertility analysis, available from NCDA&CS. Information on soil sampling
procedures is available from the Cooperative Extension Service, publication number AG-
439-30,Soil Facts:Careful Soil Sampling-The Key to Reliable Soil Test Information, at
htt s: content.ces.ncsu.edu c reful-soil-sam lin -the-kg -to-reliable-soil-test-information.
8. Lime shall be applied to fields a5 specified by the Soil Test Report to assure suitable conditions
for crop growth.
9. Litter application must stop on field if copper or zinc soil concentrations reach an Index level
of 3,000. As a proactive measure, waste generators should begin seeking alternate fields if
the level exceeds 2,000.
10. Recordkeeping. All records sha I be kept for three years, including but not limited to:
• Soil test and waste analysis results
• Date and estimated VOIL me of litter removed
• Land application record —when,where, and how much
• Records of litter sold or iven to a 3rd party including the amount of litter removed,
the date litter was removed, and the name, address, and phone number of the
manure hauler.
11. When litter is given to a 3rd party,the following requirements apply:
• Recordkeeping requirements in#10 above,
• A copy of the current waste analysis must be provided to the 3rd party,
• Provide a copy of these guidelines to the 3rd party.
12. For dry litter operations that give/sell litter to a 3rd party or manure hauler:
• If the 3rd party applies litter to land that is owned/leased by the litter generator,
then that land must be included in the litter generator's Waste Utilization Plan.
• If the 3rd party hauls all litter away, and applies it to other 3rd party fields,then the
litter generator does not need to have fields listed in the Waste Utilization Plan;
however, a plan is still needed. The plan would be similar to the format suggested in
#5 above, but it would just state that all litter is hauled away.
Manure Haulers are regulated in Administrative Code in 15A NCAC 02T Section .1400. It is
strongly recommended that owners f dry litter poultry operations verify that any manure hauler
they use complies with all requirements — including registering with the Division of Water
Resources.
This is not meant to be a complete list of requirements,but to give poultry growers and the public
a summary of the regulations that are in place. For more information,you can visit our webpage:

Type of Plan: Poultry Litter Nutrient Management
Narrative:
Michael Shepherd 2022 Update
This waste management plan update is to address the updated gallons of egg wash water
produced annually, the total number of permitted birds as well as switching permit type from
NPDES permit to State General Wet Poultry permit. All dry poultry litter produced from the facility
will be exported by third party hauler a reements offsite of the farm to land not controlled by
Simpson's Eggs, Inc.
An estimated 1,000,000 gallons of egg Nash water will be produced annually from the facility. The
water from the egg washing facility drai is to a settling basin where solids are removed routinely by
a septic hauler. The liquid from the se ling basin then travels to the waste holding pond.
Wastewater from the holding pond is it gated through a set of 19 stationary sprinklers. The
nutrient value of the wastewater produced from the egg washing process is minute. Land
application of the wastewater will be more hydraulic limited than nutrient limited. Caution shall be
used when land applying wastewater to not result in runoff of wastewater from the land application
field.
The facility is expanding, and the total number of permitted birds will be increased from 1,400,000
to 1,750,000. All the dry poultry litter will continue to be hauled offsite.

Waste Utilization Table
impson's Eggs
The Waste Utilization table shown below summarizes the waste utilization plan for this operation.This plan provides an estimate of the number of acres of
cropland needed to use the nutrients being produced. The plan requires consideration of the realistic yields of the crops to be grown, their nutrient
requirements,and proper timing of applications to maximize nutrient uptake.
This table provides an estimate of the amount of nitrogen required by the crop being grown and an estimate of the nitrogen amount being supplied by manure
or other by-products, commercial fertilizer and residual from previous crops.An estimate of the quantity of solid and liquid waste that will be applied on each
field in order to supply the indicated quantity of nitrogen from each source is also included. A balance of the total manure produced and the total manure
applied is included in the table to ensure that the plan adequately provides for the utilization of the manure generated by the operation.

The table shown below provides a summary of the crops or rotations included in the plan for each field. Realistic Yield estimates
and Plant Available Nitrogen (PAN)recommendations are also provided for each crop as well as the crop's P205 Removal Rate.
The Leaching Index(LI)and the Phosphorous Loss Assessment Tool (PLAT) Rating are also provided for each field, where
available.
If a filed'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. The quantity of P205 applied to each crop is shown in the
following table if the field's PLAT rating is High or Very High.
