Location: P.O. BOX 438
CLINTON NC 28329
Telephone: 592_5771
Type Operation: Existing Farrow to Weanling Swine
Number of Animals: 4000 . 00 sows
(Design Capacity)
STORAGE STRUCTURE: Anaerobic Waste Treatment Lagoon
APPLICATION METHOD: Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a
specified rate to prevent pollution of surface water 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 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:
h
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.

ANIMAL WASTE UTILIZATION PLAN
----------------------------------------------------------------------
5 . Wind conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and
downwind odor 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. 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 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. )
4000 sows x 6 .1 tons waste/sows/year = 24400 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
4000 sows x 5 .4 lbs PAN/sows/year = 21600 lbs. PAN/year
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.

Indicates that this field is being overseeded (i.e. interplanted) or w
annuals follow summer annuals.
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 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
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.
** Acreage figures may exceed total acreage in fields due to overseeding.

Acres shown in each of the preceding tables are considered to be the usabl(
acres excluding required buffers, filter 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 fields
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 3520 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year in the
sludge.
If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 17600
pounds of PAN to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid
bermudagrass hayland at the' rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you
will need 58 .6666666667 acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at
the rate of 125 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 140.8 acres
of land. Please be aware that these are only estimates of the PAN and
land needed. Actual requirements could vary by 25% depending on your
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 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 1 and 2 . 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 limitation. The maximum
application amount shown can he applied under optimum soil
conditions.
Your facility is designed for 180. 00 days of temporary storage and the
temporary storage must be removed on the average of once every 6.00 months.
In no instance 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 waste applicator to ensure
that the spreader equipment is operated properly to apply the correct rates
to the acres shown in Tables 1 and 2 . 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 rate prior to applying the waste.

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
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 sidevvalls 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?

Mortality Management Methods
Indicate which method(s)will be implemented.
When selecting multiple methods Indicate a primary versus secondary option.
Methods other than fhp.se listed must`be approved py 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 300feet from any-idwing stream or public body of water
(G.S.106-403). The bottom of the burial pit'should beat least one foot above the seasonal
high water table.Attach burial location map and plan.
Q
Landfill at municipal.solid waste facility� y permitted.by N.0 DEQ under GS 15A NCAC
138 .0200.
Complete Incineration according to 02 NCAC 52C.0102.
A composting system approved and permitted 6'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.
In the case of dead poultry,only, placing in a disposal pitof,a size avid design approved by the
NC Department of Agriculture&Consumer Ser ices(G.S. 106-649.70).
Q Any method which, in the professional opinionjo.#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 fann-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 exceed 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 guldailce.
• Mass burial sites are subject to additional permit conditions(refer to facility's animal
waste management system permit).
• In the event of,lmminentthreat of a disease emergency,the State Veterinarian may enact
additional temporary procedures or measures for disposal according*to G.S. 106-399.4.

-his lagoon is designed for waste treatment with minimum odor
control . The
time required for the planned fluid level to be
reached may vary due to soil conditions sflushing 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 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:
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 reducing 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 98 .3 as marked by permanent markers. Stop pump-out when
the fluid level reaches elevation 96.5 or before fluid depth is
less than 6 feet deep ( this prevents the loss of favorable
bacteria ) .
4 . The recommended maximum amount to apply per irrigation is
one ( 1) inch and the recommended maximum application rate is 0.4
inch per hour .
S. 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 damagedxby rodents and
establish in vegetation.
7 . -All surface runoff is to be diverted from the lagoon to stable
outlets .
8 . 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.
