Producer: Benny L. Grady, Jr.
Farm Name: Wilson Farm
P.O. Box 428
Faison,NC 28341
Telephone # : [phone]
Type of Operation : Feeder to Finish Swine
Number of Animals: 3000 hogs design capacity
Application Method: Irrigation
The waste from your animal facility must be land applied at a specified rate to prevent
pollution of surface 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
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. Always apply waste based on the needs of the crop to be grown and the nutrient
contents of the waste. Do not apply more nitrogen than the crop can utilize. Soil types are
important as they have different infiltration rates, leaching potentials, cation exchange
capacities, and avaialable water holding capacities. Normally waste shall not be applied to
land eroding at greater than 5 tons per acre per year. With special pre -cautions, waste may
be applied to land eroding at up to 10 tons per acre per year. 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 DEM regulations. Wind
conditions should also be considered to avoid drift and downwind odor problems. 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 to bare ground not more
than 30 days prior to planting. Injecting the waste or disking will conserve nutrients and
reduce odor problems. This plan is based on waste application through irrigation for this is
the manner in which you have chosen to apply your waste. If you choose to inject the waste
in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for injecting waste and irrigating
waste 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. Attached you will find information on proper sampling
techniques, preparation, and transfer of waste samples to the lab for ananlysis. This waste
utilization plan, if carried out, meets the requirements for compliance with 15A NCAC
2H.021 T adopted by the Environmental Management Commission.

AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.)
3000 hogs X 1.9 tons wastelhogslyear = 5700 tons
AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR
3000 hogs X 2.3 lbs PANlhogslyear = 6900 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 suface application.

Acres show in each of the preceeding tables are considered to be the usable 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.
NOTE: The Waste Utilization Plan must contain provisions for periodic land application of
sludge at agronomic rates. The sludge will be nurturient rich and will require precautionary
measures to prevent over application of nutrients or other elements. Your production facility
will produce approximately 1110 pounds of plant available nitrogen (PAN) per year in the
sludge that will need to be removed on a periodic basis. This figure is PAN when
broadcasting the sludge. Please be aware that additional acres of land, as well special
equipment, may be needed when you remove this sludge.
See the attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of waste water.
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.
Your facility is designed for 180 days of temporary storage and the temporary storage must
be removed on the average of once every 5.92 months. In no instance should the volume of
waste being stored in your structure be within 1.58 feet of the top of the dike.
If surface irrigation is the method of land application for this plan, it is the responsiblity 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.

. PLANS & 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. Illegal discharges are subject
to assessment of civil penalties of $10,000 per day by the Division of Water Quality for every
day the discharge continues.
2. The Field Office must have documentation in the design folder that the producer either
owns or has long term access to adequate land to properly dispose of waste. If the producer
does not own adequate land to properly dispose of waste, he shall provide NRCS with a copy
of a written agreement with a landowner who is within a reasonable proximity, allowing
him/her the use of the land for waste application for the life expectancy of the production
facility. 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, climate conditions, and level of
management, unless there are regulations that restrict the rate of application for other
nutrients.
4. Animal waste may be applied to land that has a Resource Management System (RMS) or
an Alternative Conservation System (ACS). If an ACS is used the soil loss shall be no greater
than 10 tons per acre per year and appropriate filter strips will be used where runoff leaves
the field. These filter strips will be in addition to "Buffers" required by DEM. (See FOTG
Stantard 393 - Filter Strips and Standard 390 Interim Riparian Forest Buffers).
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.
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" in the NRCS Technical Reference -
Environment file 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 conditions conducive
to odor or flies and to provide uniformity of application.
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.
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 a crop on bare soil.
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
Page 6

component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary
and from any perennial stream or river (other that an irrigation ditch or canal. Animal waste
other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995), shall not be applied
closer than 25 feet to perennial waters. (See Standard 393 - Filter Strips)
12. Animal waste shall not be applied closer than 100 feet to wells.
13. Animal Waste shall not be applied closer than 200 feet of dwellings other than those
owned by the landownwer.
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, drainageways, or wetlands by
discharge or by over -spraying. Animal waste may be applied to prior converted croplands
provided they have been approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist`.
Animal waste should not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly into water
courses, except when applied at agronomic rates and the application causes no runoff or drift
from the site.
*16. Domestic and industrial waste from washdown facilities, showers, toilets, sinks, etc.,
shall not be discharged into the animal waste management system.
*17. A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas
(lagoon embankments, berms, pipe runs, etc.). If needed, special vegetation shall be
provided for these areas and 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. Lagoon 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.
20. 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 as a preemergence with no other applications of
animal waste during the crop season.
*21. Highly visible markers shall 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 fpr waste storage 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
element. 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 for
optimum crop production amd maintained. Soil and waste analysis records shall be kept for
five (5) years. Poultry dry waste application records shall be maintained for three (3) years.
Waste application records for all other waste shall be maintained for five (5) years.

OPERATION & MAINTENANCE PLAN
Proper lagoon menagemeit should be a year-round priority. It is especially important to manoge
levels so that you do not have problems during exterided rainy and wet periods.
Maximum aWrWe capacity should be avallable in the lagoon for periods when the receiving crop is
dormant (such as wintertime far bermudagrass) or when there are extended rainy spatfs such as a
thunderstomr season in the summertime. This moans that at the first sign of piaatt growth in the

whenever the land In dry enough to naoeive legoon iigquid. This will make sbWe space avaiable In
the lagoon for future wet periods. In tfie isft summerl early fall the lagoon shark! be pumped down
to the low marker (see Figure 2-1) to allow for winter sWMP. Every effort should be mode to
maintain the lagoon close to the ndnlmum liquid leM as long as the weather and waste utilization

The routine maintenance of a he= involves the following:
Maiirdenantce of a vrgaWo cover for the dam. Fescue or common bermudsgr>ifes
Oro the most oorrnrorr vegeWtn* WOM. Tile vegtatlon should be kd fazed each
year, if needed, to maintain a vigorous stand. The amount of fet bmd applied
should be based on a sells test, but in the emd than it is not practical to obtain a
soils bast each year, the lagoon embankment and surrounding area should be
ferftllizad With 800 pounds per acre of 10-9o-10. or equivalent
Brush and trees On the embankment must be controlled. This may be done by
mowhg, spraying, g1jWng, chopping. ore combination of these practices. This

Langer lagoons may be, subject to liner damage due to wave action caused by strong
winds. These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam.
A goad stand of vegetation WU reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If
wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon sfdewali, baffles in the lagoon may be
used to reduce the wave impacts.
Any of these features could lead to erosion and weakening of the dam. if your lagoon
has any of #lose features, you should call an appropriafia expert familiar VO design and
con struatlon of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary ft if there In a
threat of a waste dledu rge. Howsver, a permanent sokitiion should be reviewed by the
technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment Is a MOM
undertaking with potentially serious consequences and should not be conducted unless
recommended by an appropriate technical expert.
Tr nSW Pumps — check for proper operation of:
1. recydN pim"
2. Irrigation pumps
Check for leaks, loose Wrigs, and overall pump operation. An unusually load or g
noise, or a large amount of vibration, may Indicate that the pump is in need of repair or
replacement.
NOTE: Pumping systems should be Inspected and operated frequently enough so that
you are not completely "sur~ by equipment felhOs. you should perform your
pumping system maintenance at a time when your lagoon is at its low level. This will
allow some safety time should major repairs be required Having a nay full lagoon is
not the time to think about swi6dring, repairing. or borrowing pumps• probably. If your
lagoon Is full, your neighbor's lagoon is full also. You should consider maintaining an
Inventory of spare parts or pumps. ag surface drainage

2. diversion capacity
3. ridge berm hsigM

Identified problems should be corrected promptly. It is advisable to inspect your system
during or immediately following a heavy rain. If technical assistance is needed to
determirme proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts.
You shod record the level of the lagoon just prior to when rain Is Predicted, end then
record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will
give you an Idea of how much your lagoon WM will rise with a cerialn rainfall smocumt
(you must am be reoording your ralnfait for to work). KrtawbV this should help in

wastewater.
i3. Maintain a periodic check on the lagoon liquid pH. if the pH falls below 7.0, add
agricultural lime at the rate of I pound per 1000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid voktme
until the pH rises above 7.0. optimum lagoon liquid pH is between 7.5 and $.0.

• Practice water conservation --- mirrirnize building water usage and spike Pram
leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenance and water
conservation.
• Minimize food wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This will reduce the
amount of solids entering the lagoon.

: Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring based on nutrient
requirements and soil moftrre so that temporary storage will be maximized for the
summer thunderstorm season. Similarly, irrigate in the late summer 1 early fall to
provide maximum lagoon storage for the winter.
• The lagoon liquid level s{t0uld now be closer than 1 foot to the lowest point of the

Note that If itre sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphors, It shouid be
applied only at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus. As wish other wastes,
always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for its nutrient value.

The application of sludge will kxnase the amount of odor at the waste applimWon site.
Extra precaution should be used to observe the wind &ectlon and other coriditions, which
could increase the concern of neighbors.
Possible Causes of Lagoon Failure
Lagoon failums result In the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure.
Types of failures Include leakage through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of
the dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for
ensuring structure safety. Items which may lead to Isom fatkM% Include:
• Modifcabon of the lagoon str CWM — an example is the plat of a pipe in the dam
without proper design and oonstudion. (Consult an expert In lagoon design before
pWng any piles In dams.)
• Lagoon liquid ievels — high levels are a sWW risk.
• Failure to inspect and maintain the dam.
• Excess surface water flowing into the lagoon.
Buser inlegrity — pr+oW from mist pipe scouring, damage during sludge removal, or
rupture from lowenng lagoon liquid level below groundwater table.
NOTE: if lagoon water is allowed to overlap the dare, the moving water vA soon cause
gullies to fan to the dam. Once tttis damage starts, It can quickly cause a large
discharge of wastewater and posslte dam failure.

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.
1. 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:
1) Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam.
2) Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate.
3) Stop all flows to the lagoon immediately.
4) Call a pumping contractor.
5) Make sure no surface water is entering Iagoon.
b. Runoff from waste application field -actions include:
1) Immediately stop waste application.
2) Create a temporary diversion to contain waste.
3) Incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
4) Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s) that caused the runoff.
5) Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred.
c. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers -action include:
1) Stop recycle pump.
2) Stop irrigation pump.
3) Close valves to eliminate further discharge.
4) Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps.
November 23, 2016

• flush system, houses, solids separators:
® stop recycle (flushing system) pump
® stop irrigation pump
® make sure no siphon effect has been created
® separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow
d) Leakage from base or sidewall of the lagoon. Often these are seepage as opposed
to flowing leaks:
• dig a small well or -ditch to catch all seepage, put in a submersible pump, and
pump back into the lagoon
• if holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes
and compact with a clay type soil.
• other holes may be likewise temporarily plugged with clay soil.
Note: For permanent repair measures, lagoon problems require the consultation of an individual
experienced in their design and installation.
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 for what duration`?
c) Any damage noted, such as employee injury, fish kills, or property damage?

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
❑ ❑ 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.1 08-•403). The bottom of the burial pit should beat least one foot above the seasonal
high watertable. Attach burial location map and plan.
❑ ❑ Landfill at municipal solid waste facility permitted by NC DEQ under GS 1 SA NCAC
13B .0200.
Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S.106-168.7.
Complete Incineration according to 02 NCAC 52C .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.
In the case of dead poultry only, placing in a disposal pit of a size and design approved by the
