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 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 QWQ regulations.
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
consenre 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 pp y 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

i
i
Mill Branch 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.

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 l
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 for silage.Where grazing, plants should be grazed when they reach a height of six to nine I
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:
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 461 lbs. of plant available
nitrogen per year in the sludge.
If you remove sludge every 5 years you will have approximately 2304 lbs. of PAN to utilize,Assuming
you apply this PAN to hybrid bermudagrass hayland at the rate of 300 lbs/acre you will need 8
acres of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at the rate of 125 lbs, of nitrogen per acre you will need 18
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

Mill Branch Farm Wage 4
of the soil at the time of irrigation nor should the plant available nitrogen applied exceed the nitrogen needs of
the crop. I
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 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 tippling 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.
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 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.

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 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?

I understand that I must own or have access to equipment,
primarily irrigation equipment, to land apply the animal waste
described in this waste utilization plan. This equipment must be
available at the appropriate pumping time such that no discharge
occurs from the lagoon in a 25-year 1-day storm event. I also
certify that the waste will be applied on the land according to
this plan at the appropriate times and at rates that no runoff
occurs. 74 r�

OPE,--.TION AND MAINTENANCE PLAN
---- -----------------
This lagoon is designed for waste treatment (permanent storage) and
180 days of temporary storage. The time required for the planned
fluid level (permanent and temporary storage) to be reached may vary
due to site conditions, weather, flushing operations, and the amount
of fresh water added to the system.
The designed temporary storage consists of 180 days storage for:
(1) waste from animals and (2) excess rainfall after evaporation. Also
included is storage for the 25 year - 24 hour storm for the location.
The volume of waste generated from a given number of animals will be
fairly constant throughout the year and from year to year, but excess
rainfall will vary from year to year. The 25 year rainfall will 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 at the elevation to
begin pumping, a permanent marker must be installed at this elevation
to indicate when pumping should begin. An elevation must be established
to stop pumping to maintain lagoon treatment depth.
Pumping can be started or stopped at any time between these two
elevations for operating convenience as site conditions permit, such as
weather, soils, crop, and equipment in order to apply waste without
runoff or leaohing.
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 damage to crops.
The following items are to be carried out:
1. 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. When precharging is complete,
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)
before land application.
3 . Begin temporary storage pump-out of the lagoon when fluid level
reaches the elevation 47.3 as marked by permanent marker. Stop pump-
out when the fluid level reaches elevation 45.0 . This temporary
storage, less 25 yr- 24 hr storm, contains 41892 cubic feet or
313350 gallons.
