Qlive,NC 28365 Telephone # : (919) 658-3461 Type of Operation : Wew% to Finish Swine Number of Animals: 3380 hogs design capacity Application Method: Irrigation e 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 y waste are not the same. ou choose to inject the waste in the future, you need to revise this plan. Nutrient levels for in waste and irrigating 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.0217 adopted by the Environmental Management Commission. Page 1 of 9 AMOUNT OF WASTE PRODUCED PER YEAR (gallons, ft3, tons, etc.) 3380 hogs X 1.62 tons waste/hogs/year = 6422 tons AMOUNT OF PLANT AVAILABLE NITROGEN (PAN) PRODUCED PER YEAR 3380 hogs X 1,4 Ibs PAN/hogs/year = 4732 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 1250.6 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 1.625 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. The following table is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

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 MRCS 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 component of a swine farm shall be at least 50 feet from any residential property boundary and from anv perennial stream or river (other that an irrioation ditch or canal. Animal waste Page 7 of 9 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. 23. Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina Department of Agriculture regulations. * Liquid Systems Page 8 of 9 NAME OF FARM: White Flash Farm 31-247 OWNER l MANAGER AGREEMENT I (we) understand and will follow and implement the specifications and the operation and maintenance precedures estalished in the approved animal waste utilization plan for the farm named above.

You should NOT wait until wastes reach surface waters or leave your property to consider that you have a problem. You should make very effort to ensure that this does not happen. This plan should be available to all employees at the facility, as accidents, leaks, and breaks can happen at any time. 1) Stop the release of wastes. Depending on the situation, this may or may not be possible. Suggested responses to problems are listed below: a) Lagoon overflow: • add soil to the berm to increase the elevation of the dam • pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate • stop all additional flow to the lagoon (waterers) • call a pumping contractor 1� • make sure no surface water is entering the lagoon Note: These activities should be started when your lagoon level has exceeded the temporary storage level. b) Runoff from waste application field: • immediately stop waste application • create a temporary diversion or berm to contain the waste on the field • incorporate waste to reduce further runoff c) Leaking from the waste distribution system: i • pipes and sprinklers: © stop recycle (flushing system) pump ® stop irrigation pump © close valves to eliminate further discharge ® separate pipes to create an air gap and stop flow Page 1 11� • flush system, houses, solids separators: © stop recycle (flushing system) pump ® stop irrigation pump p 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 0 if holes are caused by burrowing animals, trap or remove animals and fill holes and compact with a clay type soil. 0 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? 3) Contact appropriate agencies. a) During normal business hours, call your DWQ regional office: 910-395-3900; after hours, emergency number: 800-858-0368 or 919-733-3942. Your phone call should include: your name, facility, telephone number, the details of the incident, the exact location of the facility, and the location or direction of movement of the spill, weather and wind conditions, what corrective measures have been taken, and the seriousness of the situation. b) Your integrator: Goldsboro Hog Farms Division, Maxwell Foods, Inc. 919-778-3130 extension 1430 c) If the spill leaves the property or enters surface waters, call the local EMS: 910-296-2160 . Page 2 d) Instruct EMS to contact the local Health Department: 910-296-2126. e) (For technical assistance) Contact CES: 910-296-2143 Local NRCS office: 910-296-2121 4) Implement procedures as advised by DWQ and technical assistance agencies to rectify the damage, repair the system, and reassess the waste management plan to keep problems with release of wastes from happening again. 5) Contact contract pumping and/or irrigation equipment companies: a) b) c) 6) Contact dirt moving and/or heavy equipment companies: a) b) c) duplin Page 3 HE r O c' 273 P !i G c a 'QII C a fl C vi J� a > v 44 i y -u [ Q u .a 3 d N u ;a 'ob • t• ,if i Vc! a M O V i3i� G � R � y �r R °OLtd b 4 0 D U a0i � a •G Q 14 C � � �y W V E R 2 O UCSC4COCAC�c%l <U 4zZZ7-zzzzzLT. n p ?

Methods other then those listed must be approved by the State Veterinarian. Primary Secondary Routine Mortality El�"'l i,_ 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 location map and plan. Landfill at municipal solid waste facility permitted by NC DEQ under GS 15A NCAC 38 .0200, im 11 Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S. 106-168.7. DComplete incineration according to 02 NGAC 52C .0102. j A composting system approved and permitted by the NC Department of Agriculture & Con- Ie_�_J! 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 t! NC Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services (G,S. 106-549.70). Any methodwhich, in the professional opinion of the State Veterinarian, would make possible U 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 u Mass mortality plans are required forfarms 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 NODA&00 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 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.
