Phone: 910-592-5771
Type of Operation: Farrow-Wean
Number of Animal; 2907

Method of Application: Irrigation
Amount of waste produced per year: 17715 ton/year
Amount of plant available N(PAN) produced/year: 15698 lbs./year
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface er and/or 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 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.
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. i
5. 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 matte,which
i
i
i
I
P-18 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.

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 only addresses nitrogen.
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 materity,
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 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 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:
i
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 2442 lbs. of plant available
nitrogen per year in the sludge.
If you remove sludge every 5 years you will have approximately 12209 lbs. of PAN to utilize.Assuming
you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs/acre you will need 41
acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lbs, of nitrogen per acre you will need 98
acres of land. Please be aware that these are only estmates 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
i
I
P-18 Page 4
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 irrrigate 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.

This is the maximum application amount allowed for the soil assuming the amount of nitrogen allowed for the
-� crop is not over applied. In many situations the application amount shown cannot be applied because of the
nitrogen limitations. The maximum 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 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 operate
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 appling the waste.

This plan will be implemented in the event that waste from your operation are leaking,
overflowing,or running off the 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 mayor 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 a 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:
i
I�
l
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?

Mortality Management Methods
Indicate which method(s)will be implemented.
When selecting multiple methods•indicate a primary versus secondary option.
Methods other than those listed must be approvedaby the State Veterfnarian-
Primary Secondary Routine Mortality
❑ Q 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 focatian map and plan,

Complete incineration according to 02 NCAC 52C.0102.
aa A composting system approved and permitted bythe 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.
a In the:case of dead poui#ry.only, placing Ina disposal pit of a size_and design approved by the
NC Department of Agriculture&Consdmer Services(G.S. 106-549.70).
❑ ❑ Any method which,in the professional opinioniaf 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;coritactthe Division.for guidance.
• A catastrophic mortality disposal plan is part of the facility's CAWMP and is activated
when numbers of dead animals exceed normal mortality rates as-specified by the State
Veterinarlan.
• 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. 106-390.4.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
--- --------------------------
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment with minimum odor
The time required for the planned fluid level to be
control . q
reached may vary due to soil conditions ,flushing operations, and
the amount of fresh water added to the system.
Land application of waste water is recognized as an acceptable
method of disposal . Methods of application include solid set,
center pivot, guns, and traveling qun 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:
I . It is strongly recommended that the treatment lagoon be pre-
charged to 1/2 its capacity to prevent excessive odors during
start--up. Pre-charging reduces the concentration of the initial
waste entering the lagoon thereby reduoinq odors . solids should be
covered with effluent at all times .
2. The attached waste utilization plan shall be followed. This
plan recommends sampling and testing of waste (see Attachment B)
before land application.
3. Begin pump-out of the lagoon when fluid level reaches eleva-
tion 97 .8 as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump-out when
the fluid level reaches elevation 95 .8 or before fluid depth is
less than 6 feet deep (this prevents the loss of favorable
bacterial .
A. The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is
one (1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.4
inch per hour.
5. Keep vegetation on the 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
establish in vegetation .
7. All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable
outlets .
S . 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.
