NOTE: Symbol*means user entered data.

The Available Waste Storage Capacity table provides an estimate ofthe number ofdays of storage
capacity available at the end of each month ofthe plan. Available storage capacity is calculated as the
design storage capacity in days minus the number of days of net storage volume accumulated The start
date is a value entered by the user and is defined as the date prior to applying nutrients to the first crop in
the plan at which storage volume in the lagoon or holding pond is equal to zero.
Available storage capacity should be greater than or equal to zero and less than or equal to the design
storage capacity of the facility. Ifthe available storage capacity is greater than the design storage
capacity,this indicates that the plan calls for the application of nutrients that have not yet accumulated.
If available storage capacity is negative,the estimated volume of accumulated waste exceeds the design
storage volume of the structure. Either of these situations indicates that the planned application interval
in the waste utilization plan is inconsistent with the structure's temporary storage capacity.

The following Lagoon Sludge Nitrogen Utilization table provides an estimate ofthe number ofacres needed for
sludge utilization for the indicated accumulation period. These estimates are based on average nitrogen
concentrations for each source,the number ofanimais in the facility and the plant available nitrogen application
rates shown in the second column.
Lagoon sludge contains nutrients and organic matter remaining after treatment and application ofthe effluent. At
clean out,this material must be utilized for crop production and applied at agronomic rates. In most cases,the
priority nutrient is nitrogen but other nutrients including phosphorous,copper and zinc can also be limiting. Since
nutrient levels are generally very high,application ofsludge must be carefully applied.
Sites must first be evaluated for their suitability for sludge application. Ideally,effluent spray fields should not be
used for sludge application. If this is not possible,care should be taken not to load effluent application fields with
high amounts ofcopper and zinc so that additional effluent cannot be applied. On sites vulnerable to surface water
moving to streams and lakes,phosphorous is a concern. Soils containing very high phosphorous levels may also
be a concern.

Required Specifications For Animal Waste Management
I
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 that reaches surface
water is prohibited.
2. There must be documentation in the design folder that the producer
either owns or has an agreement for use of adequate land on which to
properly apply the waste. If the producer does not own adequate land to
properly dispose of the waste, he/she shall provide evidence of an
agreement with a landowner,who is within a reasonable proximity, ,
allowing him/her the use of the land for waste application.It is the
responsibility of the owner of the waste production facility to secure an
update of the Nutrient Management Plan when there is a change in the
operation, increase in the number of animals,method of application, i
receiving crop type, or available land.
3. Animal waste shall be applied to meet, but not exceed,the nitrogen needs
for realistic crop yields based upon soil type,available moisture,historical
data,climatic conditions, and level of management,unless there are
` regulations that restrict the rate of applications for other nutrients.
4. Animal waste shall be applied to land eroding less than 5 tons per acre
per year. Waste may be applied to-land eroding at more than 5 tons per
acre per year but less than 10 tons per acre per year provided grass filter
strips are installed where runoff leaves the field(see USDA, NRCS Field
Office Technical Guide Standard 393-Filter Strips).
5. Odors can be reduced by injecting the waste or by disking after waste
application. Waste should not be applied when there is danger of drift
from the land application field.
6. When animal waste is to be applied on acres subject to flooding, waste j
will be soil incorporated on conventionally tilled cropland. When waste is
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" 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 odor and flies.
S. Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils,during rainfall
events, or when the soil 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.The potential for salt damage from animal waste should also be
considered.
10. Nutrients from waste shalt 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 the crop or forages
breaking dormancy.
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 canal. Animal waste,
other than swine waste from facilities sited on or after October 1, 1995,
shall not be applied closer that 25 feet to perennial waters.
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 landowner.
14. Waste shall be applied in a manner not to reach other property and
public right-of-ways.
................... ................... ........................... .........--...... ....
886755 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed:M 20IS Specification Paste 2

15. Animal waste shall not be discharged into surface waters,drainageways,
or wetlands by a discharge or by over-spraying. Animal waste may be
applied to prior converted cropland provided the fields have been
approved as a land application site by a "technical specialist". Animal
waste shall not be applied on grassed waterways that discharge directly
into water courses, and on other grassed waterways,waste shall be
applied at agronomic rates in a manner that 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 embaniunents, berms,pipe runs,etc.). Areas
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. Berms and structures should be inspected regularly for
evidence of erosion, leakage,or discharge.
18. If animal production at the facility i4 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,leafs,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 pre-plant
with no further 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 for waste storage ponds.

886755 Database Version 4.1 Date Printed:3/5/2015 Specification Page 3

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 nutrient, unless other restrictions require
waste to be applied based on other nutrients, resulting in a lower
application rate than a nitrogen based rate. 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 and
maintained for optimum crop production. Soil and waste analysis
records shall be kept for a minimum of five years. Poultry dry waste
application records shall be maintained for a minimum of three 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
regulations.

Crop Notes
The following crop note applies to field(s):4,5,6,7
Bermudagrass Coastal Plain,Mineral Soil,Moderately Well Drained.
Adaptation: Well-adapted.
In the Coastal Plain,hybrid bermudagrass sprigs can be planted Mar. l to Mar.31.Cover sprigs 1"to 3"
deep(1.5"optimal).Sprigs should be planted quickly after digging and not allowed to dry in sun and
wind.For Coastal and Tifton 78 plant at least 10 bu/ac in 3'rows,spaced 2'to 3' in the row.Generally a
rate of 30 bu/ac is satisfactory to produce full groundcover in one or two years under good growing
conditions.Tifton 44 spreads slowly,so use at least 40 bu/ac in 1.5'to 2'rows spaced i'to 1.5' in row.
For broadcast/disked-in sprigs use about 60 bu/ac.Soil test for the amounts of lime,phosphorus,
potassium and micronutrients to apply preplant and for annual maintenance.Apply 60 to 100 Ib/ac N in
the establishment year in split applications in April and July.For established stands apply 180 to 240
lb/he N annually in split applications,usually in April and following the first and second hay cuts.
Reduce N rates by 25%for grazing. Refer to NCSU Technical Bulletin 305 Production and Utilization
of Pastures and Forages in North Carolina for more infbnnation or consult your regional agronomist or
extension agent for assistance.

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-
a) Add soil to berm to increase elevation of dam.
b) Pump wastes to fields at an acceptable rate.
• c) Stop all flow to the lagoon immediately.
d) Call a pumping contractor.
e) Make sure no surface water is entering lagoon.
B. Runoff from waste application field-actions include:
a) Immediately stop waste application.
b) Create a temporary diversion to contain waste,
c) incorporate waste to reduce runoff.
d) Evaluate and eliminate the reason(s)that cause the runoff.
e) Evaluate the application rates for the fields where runoff occurred.
C. Leakage from the waste pipes and sprinklers-action include:
a) Stop recycle pump.
b) Stop irrigation pump.
c) Close valves to eliminate further discharge.
d) Repair all leaks prior to restarting pumps-
D. Leakage from flush systems,houses,solid separators-action include:
a) Stop recycle pump.
b) Stop irrigation pump.
c) Make sun:siphon occurs.
d) Stop all flow in the house,flush systems,or solid separators.
E. Leakage from base or sidewafl of lagoon. Often this is seepage as opposed to flowing leaks-
possible action:
a) Dig a small sump or ditch from the embankment to catch all seepage,put in a submersible
pump,and pump back to 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 side walls 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 surface waters?
b. Approximately how much was released and for what duration?
c. Any damage notes, 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?
g. Are potable water wells in danger(either on or off the property)?
h. How much reached surface waters?
3. Contact appropriate agencies.
a. During normal business hours call your DWQ regional office; Phone #, After hours,
emergency number: [phone]. Your phone call should include: your name, facility
number, telephone number, the details of the incident from item 2 above, the exact
location of the facility, the location or direction of the movement of the spill, weather and

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.106-4O3). The bottom of the burial pit should be at least one foot above the seasonal
high water table.Attach burial location map and plan.
a Landfill at municipal solid waste facility permitted by NC DEQ under GS 15A NCAC
13B .0200.
Rendering at a rendering plant licensed under G.S. 106-168.7.
Complete incineration according to 02 NCAC 52C .0102.
Q a 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.
F-1 El In the case of dead poultry only, placing in a disposal pit of a size and design approved by the
NC Department of Agriculture&Consumer Services(G.S. 106-549.70).
a Q Any method which, in the professional opinion of 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).
aMass 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; 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 temp ary procedures or measures for disposal according to G.S. 106-399.4.

CAW" when the operation does not require additional acreage and/or crops for N utilization and does not
exceed the 25%criteria stated above.
• Inclusions of emergency action plans, and insect, odor and mortality checklists are considered CAWMP
amendments.
• Including additional acreage for land application beyond what is required in the existing CAWMP is considered
a plan amendment.
