NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN Grower(s): Farm blame: Oliver Outlaw/John Byrd B&OFarm Farrow to Wean Farrow to Feeder Farrow to Finish Wean to Feeder 5200 Feeder to Finish Storage Structure: Anaerobic I Storage Period: >180 days 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: 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. 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 wi11 conserve nutrients and reduce odor problems. �— 1 of 8 i , : _ 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. 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.

You should plan time and have appropriate equipment to apply the waste in a timely manner. LAND UTILIZATION SUMMARY The following table describes the nutrient balance and land utilization rate for this facility Note that the Nitrogen Balance for Crops indicates the ratio of the amount of nitrogen produced on this facility to the amount of nitrogen that the crops under irrigation may uptake and utilize in the normal growing season. Total Irrigated Acreage: 45.48 Total N Required 1st Year: 7409.2 Total N Required 2nd Year: 5602.85 Average Annual Nitrogen Requirement of Crops: 6,506.03 Total Nitrogen Produced by Farm: 2,496.00 Nitrogen Balance for Crops: (4,010.03) The -following table describes the specifications of the hydrants and fields that contain the crops designated for utilization of the nitrogen produced on this facility. This chart describes the size, soil characteristics, and uptake rate for each crop in the specified crop rotation schedule for this facility. 2 o18 e�mm�mm��N�uennn i co This plan does not include commercial fertilizer. The farm should produce adequate plant available nitrogen to satisfy the requirements of the crops listed above. 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 addresses all nutrients. This plan only addresses nitrogen. In interpianted fields ( i.e. small grain, etc, interseeded In bermuda), 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 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 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 cut to a height of about two inches before drilling for best results.

See attached map showing the fields to be used for the utilization of animal waste. 4of8 SLUDGE APPLICATION: The following table describes the annual nitrogen accumulation rate per animal in the lagoon sludge Farm Specifications PAN/ r/animal Farm Totallr Farrow to Wean 0.84 Farrow to Feeder 1 Farrow to Finish 4.1 5200 Wean to Feeder 0.072 374.4 Feeder to Finish 0.36 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 374.4 pounds of plant available nitrogen per year will accumulate in the lagoon sludge based on the rates of accumulation listed above. If you remove the sludge every 5 years, you will have approximately 1872 pounds of plant available nitrogen to utilize. Assuming you apply this PAN to hybrid bermuda grass hayland at the rate of 300 pounds of nitrogen per acre, you will need 6 acreas of land. If you apply the sludge to corn at a rate of 125 pounds per acre, you will need 14.976.acres of land. Please note that these are only estimates of the PAN produced and the land required to utilize that PAN. Actual values may only be determined by sampling the sludge for plant available nitrogen content prior to application Actual utilization rates will vary with soil type, crop, and realistic yield expectations for the specific application fields designated for sludge application at time of removal. 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 the preceding table. Failure to apply the recommended rates and amounts of nitrogen shown in the tables may make this plan invalid. `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 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 instance should the volume of the waste 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 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 receive the waste analysis report for assistance in determining the amount of waste per acre and the proper application prior to applying the waste. 5of8 Application Rate Guide The following is provided as a guide for establishing application rates and amounts.

Any discharge of waste which 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 Utilization Plan when there is a change in the operation, increase in the number of animals, method of application, recieving 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 maybe applied to land eroding at more than 5 tons per acre per year but less,than 90 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 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 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. 8 Animal waste shall not be applied to saturated soils, during rainfall events, or when the surface is frozen. 1 of 3 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 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 shall not be applied in fall or winter for spring punted 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 than 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. 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 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. 2of3 ji 6 NUTRIENT UTILIZATION PLAN REQUIRED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) 17 A protective cover of appropriate vegetation will be established on all disturbed areas (lagoon embankments, 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 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 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. 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 soil 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 a minimum of five years. 23 Dead animals will be disposed of in a manner that meets North Carolina regulations. 3of3 LL W n� ', s N N f + 3 r � M a Et�3 o�t� u. oo� J 0 o m to Operator: Oliver Outlaw County:__ _________ _________ _________ ________> Duplin Date:==== ######## Dist.to nearest residence (other than owner): ft. sows (farrow to finish):___ _________ ____====> sows (farrow to fee eder):=== head (finishing only) 0 sows (farrow to wean):_____ head (wean to feeder):_____ _________ ________> 26D0 Ave. Live Weight for other operations(lbs.)=> Storage volume for sludge accum.

These waves can erode the lagoon sidewalls, thereby weakening the lagoon dam. A good stand of vegetation wlU reduce the potential damage caused by wave action. If wave action causes serious damage to a lagoon eldewall, baffles in the lagoon may be used to reduce the wave impacts. Any of these features could lead to erodon and weakening of the dam. if your lagoon has any of these features, you should call an appropriate expert familiar with design and construction of waste lagoons. You may need to provide a temporary foc if there Is a threat of a waste diedwrge. However, a permanent solution should be ravbNed by the technical expert. Any digging into a lagoon dam with heavy equipment is a serious undertaking with poieatialiy serious consequences and siwuid riot be conducted unIm recommended by an appropriate technical expert. Trardftr Puaepa -- check for proper o xmMon of: 1. mayding pumps 2. Irrigation pumps Check for leaks, loose fittings, and overall pump operation. An unusually loud or grinding noise, or a large amount of vibration, may indicate that the pump Is to need of repair or replacement. NOTE: Pumping systems should be inspected and operated frequently enough so that you are not completely "surprised" by equipment failure. You should perform your pumping system mainhmance at a time when your lagoon Is at its low level. This will alloy some safety time should major repairs be required. Having a nearly full Lagoon Is not the time to think about switching, repairing, or borrowing pumps. Probmbly, If your lagoon Is full, your neighbor's lagoon is fail also. You ahoW consider maintaining an Inventory of spare parts or pumps. Surface water diversion features are designed to carry ad surface drainage waters {such as rainfall runoff, roof drainage, gutter outlets, and parking lot runoff) away from your lagoon and other waste treatinent or stole 1, ums. The only v star that should be coming fr M your lagoon is that which comes from your flushing {washing) sysivem pipes and the rainfall that tits the lagoon directly. You should inspect your diversion system for the following: 1. adequate vegetation 2. dw*on rapadty 3. ridge berm height 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 determine proper solutions, consult with appropriate experts. You should record the level of the lagoon just prior to when resin Is predicted, and then record the level again 4 to 6 hours after the rain (assumes there is no pumping). This will gyve you an kho of how much your lagoon level will rise with a certain rainfall amount (you must also be recording your rainfall for this to work). Knowing this should help in planning irrlgaetion applyions and storage. If your lagoon rises exoesslvely, you may have an overflow problem from a surface waW diversion or there may be seepage into the lagoon from the surrounding land. Lagoon Operation startup: 1. Immediately after consftKftn establish a complete sod cover an bare soil surfaces to avoid erosion. 2. Fill new lagoon design treatment volume at ll=t huff full of water before waste loading begins, taking care not to erode lining or bank slopes. 3. Drainpipes into the lagoon should have a flexible pipe a Bender on the and of the pipe to mans of sdischarge filling or another kNft Incoming water to avoid Ion of the lining. 4. When possible, be& loading new lagoons in no spring to mwdm®e bacterial establishment (due to wormer weather). S. It is recommended that a now lagoon be seeded with sludge from aar healthy working swine lagoon In the amount of 0.25 perced of the full lagoon liquid volume. This seeding should occur at least two weeks prior to the addition of wastewater. B. Mslntaain a periodic Check on the taapoon pH. if the pH fails below 7.0, add agricultural lime at the rate of I pound per 1000 cubic feet of lagoon liquid volume unfit the pH rises above 7.0. OplImum lagoon liquid pH is between 7.5 and 8.0. 7. A dark color, lank of bubbling, and excessive odor signals inadequate biological activity. Consultation with a technical speciataltst is recommended if these conditions occur for prolonged periods, especially during the warm season. Loading: The more frracluently and regularly that wastewater Is added to a lagoon, the batter the lagoon will function. Flush systsms dud wash waste Into the lagoon severed times daily are optimum for treatment. Pit recharge systems, In which one or more buildings, are drained and recharged each day, also work well. Practice water conservation -- minimize building water usage and sWfte from leaking waterers, broken pipes and washdown through proper maintenance and winter conservation. • M'inimire feed wastage and spillage by keeping feeders adjusted. This vAM reduce the amount of solids entering the moon. Nlanagemnt Maintain lagoon liquid level between the permanent storage level and the full temporary storage level. ! Place visible markers or stakes on the lagoon bank to stow the minimum liquid level and the maximum liquid level. (Figure 2-1). s Start irrigating at the earliest possible date in the spring bassi on nutrient requirements mid sail moisture so that temporary storage will be maximized for the summer thunderstorm season. Similarly, irrigate in the late summer 1 early fall to provide mti dnunn lagoon store for the winter. The lagoon liquid level .sfrotrtd never be closer than 1 foot to the lowest point of the dam or embankment. Don not pump the lagoon liquid level lower than the permanent storage lave) unless you are removing sludge. Locate goat pump intakes approximately 113 inches underneath the liquid surface end as far away from the drainpipe inlets as possible. • Prevent additions of bedding mata"ials, long-stemmed forte or vegetstion, molded feed, plastic syringes, or other foreign maWals into the lagoon. • Frequently remove solids from catch basins at end of c onfnament houses or wherever they are installed. Maintain strict vegetation, rodent, and varmint control new lagoon edges. a Do not allow trees or large bushes to grow on lagoon dam or embankment. • Remove sludge from the lagoon either when the sludge StOrOP CBPadW is fuU or before it Mis 50 percent of the pemmrient storage volume. if animw production is to be U mhv"d, the own&r is responsible for obtaining and implementing a closure plan to ekmirwia the ply of a pollutant discharge. Sludge Removal: Rate of lagoon sludge buildup can be reduced by: • proper lagoon sizing, • Mechanical solda separation of flushed waste, • 9nMAty settling of flushed waste solids in an appmpriateltr designed basin, or • minAnWN Feed wastage and spliWge. Lagoon sludge that Is removed annually rather than stoned long term will: • have more nutrients, • have more odor, and • require more land to properly use the nutrients. Removal techniques: • Hire a custom applicator. • Mbt ft sludge and lagoon liquid with a chopper - egtwr impeller pump through tarp - bore sprinkler irrigation system onto nearby cropland; and sail incorporate. • Dowaiiar the upper part of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropland or farageland; mix raarnah Ing sludge; pump Into liquid sludge applicator; haul and spread onto croplamd or forneland; and ad Incorporate. • pawoter the upper port of lagoon by irrigation onto nearby cropiend or forageland; dredge sludge from lagoon with dragline or sludge barge; berm an area beside lagoon 10 m liquids �erback Into � haul and spread with manure spreader r onto cM� all" Sludge to dewarageland; and soil incorporate. Regardless -of the method, you must have the sludge material analyzed for Waste Matituents Just as you would your lagoon water. The sludge Will contain different nutrient and metal values from the ilquid. The application of the stud!ge to fields will be limited by these nutrients as wail as any previous wane applioafions to that field and crap requirement. Waste application rates will be discussed in detail in Chapter 3. When removing sludge, you must also pay attention to the liner to prevent damage. Close alteration by the pumper or drag -line operator will ensure that the lagoon liner raemah6 intact if you see soil material or the synthetic liner material being disturbed, you should stop the actW immediately and not resume until you are sure that the sludge can be removed without liner irJury, If the finer is damaged it must be repaired = soon as possible. Sludne removed from the lagoon has a rraud^r higher phosphorus and heavy meW oontent than liquid. because of aria it should probably be arppilad to land with low phosphorus and metal levels, as indicated by a soil test, and incorporated to reduce the chance or erosion. Note that If the sludge is applied to fields with very high soil -test phosphors, it should be applied ordy at rates equal to the crop removal of phosphorus, As with othw waetISS, always have your lagoon sludge analyzed for Its nutrient value. 6 The application of sludge will increase the amount of odor at to waste application site. Extra precaution: should be used to observe the wind direction and other conditions which could increase the concern of neighbors. Possible Causes of Lagoon IFallurs Lagoon failures result in the unplanned discharge of wastewater from the structure. Types of I'Aft s include balwpe through the bottom or sides, overtopping, and breach of the dam. Assuming proper design and construction, the owner has the responsibility for ensuring structure sit W. Items which may lead to lagoon failtmis include, • Modem of the ft= structure — an emnple Ea the placement of a pipe in the dam without proper design and oort. (Consult err expert in lagoon design before pkirAng any p1pes In dame.) • Lagoon liquid levels —high levels are a aafety risk. • Fallure to inspect and maintain the dam. • Excess surface weer flouring into the lagoon. • Liner Integrity — prolect from inlet pipe scouring, damage daring sludge removal, or rupture from lowering lagoon liquid level below groundwater table.

You should not wait until wastes reach surface waters or Ieave 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 mayor 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 lagoon. 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 (D 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 leafs: s dig a small well or -ditch to catchall 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? 3) Contact appropriate agencies. 2s'z a) During normal business hours; call your DWQ regional office: - - ;after hours, emergency number: - - or - - 2.
